    Very silly question, I have this default mapping:

    upload_2021-2-18_20-11-30.png

    to which I've added a primaryButton action. I found out I can access the trigger button like this:

    upload_2021-2-18_20-12-36.png

    Which is slightly different from what I'm used to outside VR (normally I would be accessing itvia: control.Activate.triggerPressed).

    How do I access the state of the primaryButton, to which event should I subscribe to read it?

    Thank you!

    If you want to determine when the Activate action is triggered on the 
    ActionBasedController
    , you can read that from the controller state that it maintains. Use the 
    GetControllerState
    method on the 
    ActionBasedController
    , and then from that you can obtain the input state for Select, Activate, and UI Press. For Activate, it's the 
    XRControllerState.activateInteractionState
    field, and then you can read active to know whether it's triggered. 
    active
    is true when the action is true, and 
    activatedThisFrame
    will be true just on the frame where it was triggered.

    You can also read it from the InputAction that you have assigned to the Activate action reference directly. See the Input System documentation for Responding to Actions to either poll the value or to use events to get notified.
