Virtamate Turn Off VR Hand With Button

[Clocksmith]

I have a scene that starts in a way that having a left VR hand helps. But there is a later part of the scene where turning off the left VR hand is better. Is there a way to toggle the left VR hand with a button?

Yes, there is. I have my Index thumb stick click set to do that. Here's a guide:

Guides - Customizing SteamVR Controller Bindings

What is this? This is a guide on setting SteamVR controller bindings. VaM uses the newer SteamVR controller binding style, which means that buttons are mapped to actions. More than one action can be mapped to the same button or control, and...

The guide has example settings. You don't have to do everything in it. For toggling the hand, it's in the image that says "Thumb Stick". The setting is called "Toggle Hand" and you can set it on any button you like. This only works if you're using SteamVR.

Ah. That's too bad. I run VAM outside of SteamVR for performance.
