[Gear VR] Updating to 5.4 caused custom gaze input module for uGUI to stop working in build.

I am using the following input module that i got from here to used uGUI for the GearVR.

Code (CSharp):

1. // Gaze Input Module by Peter Koch <peterept@gmail.com>
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5.  
6. // To use:
7. // 1. Drag onto your EventSystem game object.
8. // 2. Disable any other Input Modules (eg: StandaloneInputModule & TouchInputModule) as they will fight over selections.
9. // 3. Make sure your Canvas is in world space and has a GraphicRaycaster (should by default).
10. // 4. If you have multiple cameras then make sure to drag your VR (center eye) camera into the canvas.
11. public class GazeInputModule : PointerInputModule
12. {
13.     public enum Mode { Click = 0, Gaze };
14.     public Mode mode;
15.  
16.     [Header("Click Settings")]
17.     public string ClickInputName = "Submit";
18.     [Header("Gaze Settings")]
19.     public float GazeTimeInSeconds = 2f;
20.  
21.     public RaycastResult CurrentRaycast;
22.  
23.     private PointerEventData pointerEventData;
24.     private GameObject currentLookAtHandler;
25.     private float currentLookAtHandlerClickTime;
26.  
27.     public override void Process()
28.     {
29.         HandleLook();
30.         HandleSelection();
31.     }
32.  
33.     void HandleLook()
34.     {
35.         if (pointerEventData == null)
36.         {
37.             pointerEventData = new PointerEventData(eventSystem);
38.         }
39.         // fake a pointer always being at the center of the screen
40.         pointerEventData.position = new Vector2(Screen.width/2, Screen.height/2);
41.         pointerEventData.delta = Vector2.zero;
42.         List<RaycastResult> raycastResults = new List<RaycastResult>();
43.         eventSystem.RaycastAll(pointerEventData, raycastResults);
44.         CurrentRaycast = pointerEventData.pointerCurrentRaycast = FindFirstRaycast(raycastResults);
45.         ProcessMove(pointerEventData);
46.     }
47.    
48.     void HandleSelection()
49.     {
50.         if (pointerEventData.pointerEnter != null)
51.         {
52.             // if the ui receiver has changed, reset the gaze delay timer
53.             GameObject handler = ExecuteEvents.GetEventHandler<IPointerClickHandler>(pointerEventData.pointerEnter);
54.             if (currentLookAtHandler != handler)
55.             {
56.                 currentLookAtHandler = handler;
57.                 currentLookAtHandlerClickTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup + GazeTimeInSeconds;
58.             }
59.            
60.             // if we have a handler and it's time to click, do it now
61.             if (currentLookAtHandler != null &&
62.                 (mode == Mode.Gaze && Time.realtimeSinceStartup > currentLookAtHandlerClickTime) ||
63.                 (mode == Mode.Click && Input.GetButtonDown(ClickInputName)))
64.             {
65.                 ExecuteEvents.ExecuteHierarchy(currentLookAtHandler, pointerEventData, ExecuteEvents.pointerClickHandler);
66.                 currentLookAtHandlerClickTime = float.MaxValue;
67.             }
68.         }
69.         else
70.         {
71.             currentLookAtHandler = null;
72.         }
73.     }
74.  
75.  
76. }

Everything was working fine until I updated to 5.4 today. Now the input module works in the editor, but not in the build. Anyone know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

 

It works for me in the editor, but with an offset. Aiming at buttons doesn't work, aiming above them works fine. I don't know if this is a bug or someone has changed.

 

After some searching and I came across your post in google, I saw 2 pages later this solution and it works:"

https://community.unity.com/t5/5-4-...r-VR-after-upgrading-to-5-4-beta/td-p/2639154

Took me a while to find out tbh, didn't knew some things had changed.

Code (CSharp):

1. // fake a pointer always being at the center of the screen
2. pointerEventData.position = new Vector2(UnityEngine.VR.VRSettings.eyeTextureWidth/2, UnityEngine.VR.VRSettings.eyeTextureHeight / 2);

Awesome. Thanks for the help!
