engine.vive Functions

This set of functions is available when the AppVive plugin is loaded.

Notice
AppVive plugin cannot be used in a Qt-based application

If the plugin is loaded together with the engine, the HAS_APP_VIVE definition is set. This definition can be used, for example, to avoid errors if the plugin is not loaded: the code in which the plugin functions are executed can be wrapped around as follows:

Source code (UnigineScript)
#ifdef HAS_APP_VIVE
	// engine.vive functions
#endif

The source code of OpenVR can be found here.

The full set of Vive devices is described here.
