SteamVR & VIVE Tracker with Player prefab

Hi,

I work in Unity with SteamVR and I bought the VIVE trackers.

I watched some tutorials but they do their setup with the basic CameraRig.

I want to use the trackers with the Player prefab from the InteractionSystem of SteamVR.
I was suprised to see nothing on this prefab to add easily more controllers.

The only solution I have found is to add the SteamVR_ControllerManager component on the Player prefab. Then add the hands and the others controllers, same as the CameraRig.

But in some rare cases, the trackers don't activate when I need hit in Unity. I have to stop and replay to get everythings works.


Have you others solutions to link the trackers and the Player prefab from steamVR ?

Thank you for your help.

 

I'm noticing that the trackers won't work unless both vive controllers are also on.

 

@eastes , Did you find a solution on how to use tracker with both Vive controllers turned OFF ?

 

Interested in this also ... did you get any further?
