VIVE FOCUS 3 controllers inputs do not work in UE4.26 VR template

[VR_Beginner_Vincent]

I just got my new VIVE FOCUS 3, and was happy with SteamVR gaming. Everything works perfectly, but I found input issues in UE 4.26 VR Template.

I'm using a completely fresh VR Template Motion Controller map in UE 4.26, and it's tracking the position of my Vive Focus 3 controllers properly, but it isn't detecting any of the button inputs.

None of the actual buttons respond when pressed.

So I can't perform teleportation or grab in the VR Template, which works fine with my first-generation VIVE.

Any suggestions?

@VR_Beginner_Vincent Are you integrating the WaveSDK? https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/UnrealPlugin/UnrealPlugin.html

[VR_Beginner_Vincent]

@HackPerceptionNot yet. Thank you for your information. I'll go through the process to see if I can make it works.

@HackPerceptionNeed your help here!

I followed the instruction and downloaded a ZIP file named "wave_4.1.0-preview.5.1_unreal_UE4.26" and unzip it(STEP 1).

Then I copied plunin/Plugins/WaveVR to <project folder>\Plugins\(STEP 2).

Now I am stuck in STEP 3. The instruction says I need to "Copy and Paste ThirdParty to <UE4>\Epic Games\<UE_Version>\Engine\Source\ThirdParty"

But I can't find any folder named "ThirdParty". What should I do to continue? Thanks.

You can actually skip the 3rd step since you are on 4.1.0 which is greater than 3.1.94.
and this is how your step 2 should look like (UETest is my project name), restart your project after you have done this step.

Wait. Now I get it.

Given that I am working with the SDK version greater than SDK3.1.94, so I can ignore step 3, right?

OK, keep going.

Hello, @C.T.. Thank you for your reply. It is helpful. 

Until now I can see my mistake in step 2.
