XR Interaction - Teleport rotation issue

We seem to have found a bug in the XR Interaction teleport system - if the Teleport Area object has a rotation applied, this rotation is applied to the viewer after a successful teleport.

In our instance, we deal with CAD models from 3Ds Max, exported into Unity as FBX. By default, Unity will apply rotation on these objects (in our case it is a -90 degree rotation on the x axis), but this means that when we try to teleport, it applies a -90 rotation to the XR rig (although it's on the Z axis, not X).

Has anyone encountered this? I've filed a bug report - Case 1219563.

 

Hi Matt, this doesn't actually change the behavior that we're seeing.

 

I am having the same issue. In Teleportation Area script my Match Orientation is set to None. When I teleport the XR Rig Rotation X gets set to --90. I also imported a model with a floor area which is rotated by -90 degrees (this is how it was modeled) - and the XR rig seems to inherit this on teleportation. If I set the floor Rotation to 0 it works correctly. But it means I have to do a lot of changes to my model to re-import it into unity with Rotation set to 0

 

Did you find a solution to the problem?

 

As an update, I sent Unity a small test case and they have confirmed there is an issue - hopefully a fix will come soon.

 

I believe i am using Unity 2019.2.5f1 as that’s what was recommended to me (until this problem it was working as planned). The problem doesn’t effect my project badly enough that it isn’t ‘playable’, just limits the users movements.

 

Thanks Matt, the workaround that Jack from Unity suggested works for us - adding the Teleport Area component to the parent object rather than a child gameobject.

Sounds good, but this is using the inbuilt behaviour of a 3ds Max to Unity FBX export process - I'd hate to think we'd need to add additional authoring steps in 3Ds Max to cater for the weird FBX import behaviour

 

Hi all, we've had the issue of teleporting to rotated surfaces too. The easy solution right now is to edit the XR TeleportArea.cs script file, and change:

Code (CSharp):

1. teleportRequest.destinationUpVector = transform.up;

to

Code (CSharp):

1. teleportRequest.destinationUpVector = Vector3.up;

I'd actually recommend making your own TeleportArea class and then to override the GenerateTeleportRequest function to use world axes instead of the transform axis (then you won't be editing XR scripts directly. Here's our edits:

Code (CSharp):

1. namespace UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit
2. {
3.     public class Teleport_WorldArea : TeleportationArea
4.     {
5.         // Override the teleport request to use the world rotation and not our gameObject's transform
6.         protected override bool GenerateTeleportRequest(XRBaseInteractor interactor, RaycastHit raycastHit, ref TeleportRequest teleportRequest)
7.         {        
8.             teleportRequest.destinationPosition = raycastHit.point;
9.             teleportRequest.destinationUpVector = Vector3.up; // use the area transform for data.
10.             teleportRequest.destinationForwardVector = Vector3.forward;
11.             teleportRequest.destinationRotation = Quaternion.identity;
12.             return true;
13.         }    
14.     }
15. }
