Youtube Description (because I am lazy to repeat myself)

A test of a jetpack, for VR use. Basic model, wanted to work on the behaviour first. If anyone is wondering, the black box is the jetpack, which when equiped, is behind me, hence why you don't see it.

I wanted it to be equipable and function with two levers; one for thrust control, the other for flying forwards and reversing. The fuel burns off faster with higher thrust too.

I would like to have a speed limit in this but I cannot think of a way to do it just yet. Also, there are obvious bugs like you can unequip the jetpack in midair...and it will remain in mid air LOL So this is as far as it goes for this prototype.

I'm not that good at programming behaviours so of course, I could not get this base prototype working without the following resources:

1. Modified from Unreal Devs' tutorial

2. Used mordentral's VR Expansion Plugin for item interactions
