Question How to interact with UI buttons using the SteamVR Laser Pointer component.

I'm quite new to Unity and to VR development, so I'm having trouble getting the SteamVR Laser Pointer to work with UI. I'm using the player prefab for the rig and have attatched the component to each hand. Then, I have a script (taken from here) with which I can see when the raycast is clicking, hovering over or exited a given collider. The button I'm trying to interact with has a collider, and I've managed to interact with it using the Interactable and UIElement when touching it.

Now I just can't figure out how to do the same but with the laser pointer. What am I missing to get this interaction?

Thanks in advance!

 

i think that worked with collider + script that implements these interfaces:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Hotspot : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler, IPointerDownHandler, IPointerUpHandler, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
2. {
3. ...
4. }

*nevermind that looks different, i've used this:

Thank you! Works like a charm.
