LMHeadMountedRig layer assignment

[jbail]

I put my LMHeadMountedRig into a user defined layer I called "Leap" and applied the layer to all children, including CapsuleHand_L and CapsuleHand_R. I setup the OVRCameraRig camera to use this layer. It seems like when hands are acquired they're actually being put into the Default layer as I can only see them if I enable Default in the culling mask of the camera on my OVR CenterEyeAnchor. Even if I manually change the layer to Default and then back to Leap after a hand has been acquired it still is only displayed if Default is enabled. Is there some way to maintain Leap objects in a non-default layer?

I'm using Unity 5.3.4p1, Orion 3.1.1, OVR Unity Utilities 1.3.0 and OVR Runtime 1.3.

This is probably because of the way the CapsuleHand objects recreate its transforms every time the hand is put into view. Fixing it properly would require setting the layers when it does this. In the meantime, a workaround is to use a HandTransitionBehavior that does it instead. Add the following script to the CapsuleHand object:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Leap.Unity;

public class LayerSetter : HandTransitionBehavior {
    public string layerName;

    protected override void HandReset() {
        int layer = LayerMask.NameToLayer(layerName);
        gameObject.layer = layer;
        Transform[] allChildren = GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
        foreach (Transform child in allChildren) {
           child.gameObject.layer = layer;
        }
  }

  protected override void HandFinish() {}
}
