Finger Indicator
The Finder Indicator ability will set an animator parameter which plays an animation depending on the state of the finger for each hand. This ability is designed for a first person perspective with two handed tracking headsets. The Finger Indicator ability will always be active and it will continuously update the Hand State Index and Hand Grip Strength Animator parameters. These parameters are unique VR parameters that are only on the VR hand Animators. If you are creating your own Animator Controller for your VR hands ensure you have added these parameters:
The following finger states map to the Hand State Index parameter values:
| Finger State | Hand State Index |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Resting, Index Resting | 000 |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Resting, Index Extended | 001 |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Resting, Index Contracted | 002 |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Extended, Index Resting | 010 |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Extended, Index Extended | 011 |
| Hand Resting, Thumb Extended, Index Contracted | 012 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Resting, Index Resting | 200 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Resting, Index Extended | 201 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Resting, Index Contracted | 202 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Extended, Index Resting | 210 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Extended, Index Extended | 211 |
| Hand Contracted, Thumb Extended, Index Contracted | 212 |
