PSA: Custom Locomotion and Item Spawning for Authors
I've just released a major update to my Scripted Item Test Range SteamVR Home environment.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=929520573

It now has a much improved player physics and locomotion system. It is now possible to switch the default teleport locomotion to direct sliding or grabbing without having to equip tools (although it's digital only).

Another new feature is the custom Quick Inventory. It works the same way as the regular Quick Inventory, but you can choose which items from the spawn menu (only custom ones at the moment) to include in it.

Also included is a settings menu that allows changing many properties of the locomotion system, as well as enabling a comfort grid and vignetting to help with motion sickness.



Environment authors can relatively easily (i hope) add these features to their environments, either by including the Range as an asset pack, or by manually adding the scripts. I wrote a guide on the former method here:

The scripts and other assets are available here:

Any feedback on improvements, new features or bugs are greatly appreciated.
