XRrig character controller rotation

Hi guys,

TL;DR:
Position of character controller used for VR while having HMD input + button/stick input to turn seems unreasonably difficult for me - what is the best way to achieve that?

Long version:
Setup:
XRrig (attached characterController + Movement script)
-----> Child MainCamera

I move my camera and my character controller according to the HMD, as walking around physically should also move the character ingame. When I now use the SnapTurnProvider, then the turn axis is the XRrig's center, not the characterController's center. How do you guys handle that kind of stuff?

I move my character controller according to the HMD by:

Code (CSharp):

1. head = GetComponent<XRRig>().cameraGameObject;
2. newCenter.x = head.transform.localPosition.x;
3. newCenter.z = head.transform.localPosition.z;
4. characterController.center = newCenter;

Which makes the characterController's center reposition to the current HMD position. Works great!

Moving the player by

Code (CSharp):

1. characterController.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);

also works as intended.

Now I have a raycast from the characterController downwards to detect the ground standing on and it's slope angle:

Code (CSharp):

1. Physics.Raycast(characterController.transform.position + characterController.center, Vector3.down, out groundHit, 5.0f), layerMaskGround))

That's were my problem begins: I use

Code (CSharp):

1. characterController.transform.position + characterController.center

to find the current characterController's position. That works great and adapts to the HMD movement and the movement via input stick. But I am really struggling with the additional turning of the player by button/stick input. As soon as I turn, the raycast starting position gets messed up, as it seems that the turning axis my rotation is around, seems wrong. I seem to be unable to find a solution for that.

Currently using:

Code (CSharp):

1. var xrRig = system.xrRig;
2. Quaternion orientation = xrRig.transform.rotation;
3. Vector3 euler = transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
4.  
5. euler.y += position.x * Time.deltaTime * turningSpeed;
6. xrRig.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(euler);

 

Okay, seems like I found a solution to my problem: To find the current characterController's position to use for the raycast, use:

Code (CSharp):

1. position = transform.TransformPoint(newCenter);
