Hello,

I'm trying to make my Leap Motion tracker work in Unity and on a Mac computer.

I keep having the message "associated scripts cannot be loaded". I tried with the asset package (meant to be compatible with Mac; https://github.com/leapmotion/LeapMotionCoreAssets) found following the link on the V2 tracking page (https://developer.leapmotion.com/sdk/v2/) in the Leap Motion Developer website. I tried the free asset package "NeuroRehabLab"too but I got "Unreachable Code detected". Any suggestions by any chance?

Many thanks for your help

What version of Unity?

The last one: Unity 2017.4. Actually, I finally made it work by downloading the Orion 4.3.4 asset package whereas I have a Mac. I can now import the assets.

I'm still having an issue. I'm trying to connect the leap motion tracker using the LeapHandController from the RiggedHands example. Hands appear in the scene screen, but nothing when I click on Play: I get a grey screen (whereas the leap motion tracker is definitely connected to my Mac laptop and does track my hands if I go to the visualiser).

The more recent Unity assets require (1) more recent versions of Unity and (2) the Orion software, which is currently Windows only. This is because they rely on an API (LeapC) that was introduced with Orion.

The OSX-compatible assets require older versions of Unity, as they are more than two years old.

Unfortunately there is no good path to using Unity 2017 with Leap Motion unless you're ready to dig into some deep workflow changes.

Thanks for your answer.

To be sure, could you please 1- tell me what latest version of Unity that would be compatible (any version 5?), 2- give me the link to latest OSX-compatible assets?

Many thanks!

You have the link to the latest OSX-compatible assets in your original post; supported ended with Unity 4.6.

Hi, Will the Leap get any Future support for Mac (Orion) and the latest Unity V5 +?

Support will likely happen eventually but since the vast majority of (non-mobile) VR development and use is happening on Windows systems, it's not a high engineering priority compared to other priorities we're tackling.

Same problem here. I'm using 2020.1.5f1. When I press play, the system told me that the associated script can not be loaded. What should I do? Thanks~
