@bronze smelt There is a pic of my current workspace
bronze smelt
What shape you have it on wouldn't matter. (Just not curved/round)
But if you look at the mirror prefab and do it similar to that then it should work
bold ibex
Thats what i thought but apparently not
bronze smelt
Give me a sec to load up my project
bold ibex
ok
& Yeah Ideally Flat Is what the Mirrors should be But idk if sharp edges work better than round edges or not
bronze smelt
Mirrors are just flat
but you can have cut out shapes and make it look different, as long as the surface overall is flat and not curved
bold ibex
Yeah thats what id do
Like a heart or a rombus, etc
while being flat because its a mirror
bold ibex
ok
bronze smelt
that is the default mirror prefab drag and drop
bronze smelt
Have the mesh you want, add the VRC_Mirror Reflection component and the mirror reflection material to it and that should be it.
Then you'll get it to show up like this
bronze smelt
Collider has nothing to do with it
bold ibex
ok
bronze smelt
The last picture you sent is using the Cube mesh, which has multiple sides, where the mirror reflection will only work on one side
bold ibex
Thats just the mesh name
blender names it that way
so in blender would i need to change something?
bronze smelt
if it's from blender, then make sure the uv is correct and normals are facing the correct way
if you look at the other side of the mirror, is it correct there?
bronze smelt
You can extrude it to add some depth to see what side is working
then remove the side that isn't working
Once you get the correct side of the mesh you can then get the shape you want working
bold ibex
ok so extrude & then see what side works
so will it be either the front or back? or will the sides count too?
bronze smelt
Make sure you uv it too, doing UV from view is the easiest
Everything will be affected by it, but only one side will actually show the mirror
bold ibex
How would i UV it? Give it a texture?
bronze smelt
In there, you just select the mesh, go into edit mode, press A (select all)
bold ibex
yeah
bronze smelt
then if you want to do from view
adjust your view so the mesh fills up the screen
numpad 5 -> numpad 7 will give you top view
then press UV -> Project From View
bold ibex
ok
bronze smelt
there are other ways to do it too
but since you don't know what side is correct, it's a way to figure it out
short gulch
@near escarp I'll grab a screenshot of it in about 2 hours when I get home. Its just a cube with an AlwaysUnbuffered OnEnterTrigger and OnExitTrigger on it. The goal is just to have the door swing open when you get close to it and slam shut when you move too far away.
near escarp
yeah shouldn't be that difficult, most likely a simple issue
bold ibex
Yeah even doing that doesnt work & also since its a plane there arent any other sides to work with & also i tried making a normal plane into a mirror & it bugs out the same way even though its the default unity plane
bronze smelt
huh
bold ibex
Unless a texture has to be put onto it idk because the material for the default VRC mirror doesnt have a texture
bold ibex
ok
bronze smelt
Do a quad
bold ibex
idk then the orientation is fine, the UV mapping is fine, & I guess ill try flipping the UV mapping but i doubt that would work
bronze smelt

Hello
short gulch
I may have figured it out, I'll let you know what happens. It'll probably be a while because it takes forever to compile shaders ever since I switched to 2018
near escarp
If you use the latest SDK it shouldn't do that
edgy geyser
Hello. So I did the base geometry of a map (under 4k polygons yay) and now I'm heading towards finishing it. There are 2 things left: 1. is to texture the existent geometry and 2. is to add objects. (sofas, flowerplants and some things for players to throw around). I modeled my world on sketchup. Where should I head next? (I don't like the base texture settings of sketchup and I don't thing the vray config will carry over to unity)
I don't have experience with any 3d modeling softwares besides sketchup and revit btw
thanks in advance
near escarp
which formats can you export as ?
near escarp
fbx will do fine then
edgy geyser
then to unity?
near escarp
yup
primal sequoia
My world seems to have some rogue private instances. Seems to be a consistent number of private instances that never go away which makes me think they are not real instances. Bug due to test instances maybe?
random owl
Either someone has your world id or it's just the numbers bugging out
I saw a bunch of the numbers bugging out just a bit ago
bronze smelt
Most likely it being bugged, should be cleared up after a while
primal sequoia
to clarify by consistent I mean weeks/months, was stuck at 2 minimum a while back now it's stuck at 7

sullen laurel
Hey guys,it's my first time making a world and i want to ask,why do i keep on falling through the floor when i spawned into the world? 
random owl
Does your floor have a collider?
random owl
You only have a mesh renderer on it
random owl
Can you also show me a second picture of the floor with the collider added just to make sure
sullen laurel
sure.its this one
random owl
You should also change that to a box collider no reason to use a mesh collider for already a blocky shape
sullen laurel
oh okay.i was taught to use mesh collider from an old video,i'll test that out
random owl
Mesh colliders are okay to use in some case but mostly you should stick to multiple primitive colliders aka box collider sphere collider and such
A high poly mesh with a mesh collider can cause people to crash
random owl
Did it start working with the box collider?
random owl
Then most likely the mesh was bad in some way
sullen laurel
so i suppose the mesh you're going to use depends on the shape of your object then?
random owl
Normals flipped around or such
Most performant way to do colliders is use box colliders and rotate them around and such to match the shape
But in most cases it's okay to use mesh colliders for the main geometry if it's way too much to block out with boxes
sullen laurel
i'll keep that in mind,thanks for the help!
random owl
Happy to help 👌
edgy geyser
Is one sided geometry enough to cast shadows?
I was trying to make my world as light as possible so I didn't made too many of those
lucky me, if it is a prolem, I can solve 90% of it by just making a big box
near escarp
@edgy geyser Nope !
unless you meant outside facing
in that case yes
but if light goes through a backface then no
Also please merge all your object once you're done !
edgy geyser
Ok! Thanks!
reef sparrow
What's the most elegant way to get 3D text to be properly hidden by scene geometry?
near escarp
Disable the object with a collider in front of that geometry ?
reef sparrow
But, like, what if I want a text to be seen if you poke your head around the corner?
near escarp
yeah that's a whole other can of beans
we can't do gaze tracking of that effect, maybe there's a way to cull layers for that, worth asking in #shaders
reef sparrow
Damn text ><
stray sand
How are you displaying the text?
reef sparrow
I'm using 3D text, a primitive unity object
near escarp
As a mesh object you mean ?
reef sparrow
The object is made of a mesh rendere component and a text mesh component, yes
stray sand
Ive not personally used it but i think it would require a new shader that doesn’t render on top of everything.
I would suggest switching to ui text.
stray sand
It can be a little more prep work but i find it more useful.
I have a blank canvas prefab that i just drag and drop to edit.
reef sparrow
Thanks, looks like I got the hang of it 🙂
sinful moss
Anybody aware of a script or method for keeping track of numbers in a world?
I see them in a bunch of worlds, so i guess i'm really just asking how they did it.
eternal juniper
It's there a good and recommended shader graph add on for the 2017 and 2018 versions? I once found one for free but didn't manage to install it. Like I tried but didn't show up on Unity menu at all.
slow orbit
ShaderForge is free but doesn't get frequent updates, Amplify Shader Editor costs $$$ but gets regular updates (bugfixes, features, etc)
eternal juniper
@slow orbit so I can install shader forge just fine on the Unity versions required for VRChat? I think this one was the one I tried to install before but didn't got it working at all.
errant pollen
I have a big map i want to have a fade distance game mechanic to improve the fps. I require assistance.
long halo
@stray sand (sorry for the ping). The sound on your custom url stream panel is really low for some reason, I've tried increasing it but it barely changes. The sound on the video player is normal. Do you know how I fix this?
Secondly: I can add videos, but when other people do it it just starts replaying the video already playing. I think the cause might be that I've automatically made it switch to the video after 5 seconds and it needs to wait longer, but it still works for me when I add a video. Or maybe it has something to do with the trigger target being the owner?
stray sand
@long halo the slider to the right limits how loud the main slider can go. can turn it up or completely remove it. but you will need to make sure to change the max value for the main slider.
when loading a new video if its not fully loaded and you click play it will play the last loaded video. to make sure its playing i use the next method instead of play, and depending on the video and internet speed the time it takes to load a video varies.
long halo
so I should just increase the time until it changes?
preferable it would automatically change the video when it's fully loaded, but I guess there's no easy way to do that
stray sand
there is no proper method to know when the video is loaded. that's why i decided to opt out of trying to automate my video player.
long halo
I'll just turn that off and use the standard settings then
stray sand
one visual cue is the timer for the video usually resets.

I need help with making the audio in my world togglable. When I go to test, the music will play, but for some reason, I can't interact with the toggle block
mild spade
Does it have a collider? Looks like a mesh collider but it needs to be in the same gameobject as the vrc trigger. (try box collider)
rough plinth
Ah, so that's what it was. Thanks for your help
worn ocean
so im trying to update my world but none of the changes are going through except for the picture changing
random owl
Are you updating it with the right unity version?
worn ocean
yes it is the right unity version
also whenever i update the image its kind of greyed out
like this
it worked before when i uploaded
and all i did was move the vrc world component and remove some lights and changed the skybox
like i had just before added a new avatar in it and now it just straight up doesnt work
except for updating the image
random owl
@worn ocean wanna dm or give me your world id and I'll check the api
near escarp
If you have the grey image then it's an outdated SDK afaik
random owl
The main problem was a random script giving errors
Would be a good idea to update the sdk as well though 😄
dusty fjord
Hey, i've just seen a world where something is only supposed to be selected by a certain username, how is this possible?
random owl
It's just a avatar set to private on a pedestal
bold ibex
ayo not sure if this is the right channel to post in but it's worth a shot
I've been pulling my hair out all day trying to set up post processing for this world I'm working on. I found post processing can be really nice on the eyes so I want to use it without forcing it on users.
My idea for doing just that is setting up a ui canvas with sliders to adjust certain key aspects of post processing (Saturation, hue, exposure, etc.) I've seen it done before in other worlds so I know it can be done with VRChat.
My issue is between VRCTriggers and unity's UI options, I've not been able to find the right items in either the post processing volume or the profile to have adjusted, it only offers me non-sequiturs of functions like "bool enabled," very basic options that I can't see how they relate..
The only answers I can find from other unity forums involve scripting (which vrc doesn't like obv.) and I want to avoid using animations as much as possible as that'd be a mess to set up and impractical to use
If anyone has any answers, I'd appreciate an @. Thanks.
bold ibex
These look like what I was looking for! Thank you!

is there a way that you can manipulate environmental lighting with vrc switches without using light objects?
reef sparrow
In what scenario would I want to set an pickup object as unpickupable?
stray sand
In a game context items that the player hasn’t unlocked yet. For general vrchat not too much use. It also isn’t used much due to triggers not able to set the value.
reef sparrow

sinful moss
is there a way to set up volumetric lighting within the whitelisted scripts?
I reaaaally want some god rays that aren't hand placed.
sinful moss
Also, having some issues with an object in my world resetting to it's origin on jumping.
It doesn't happen at all in unity, but when i try to use the jump action in a built server side test, it seems to turn my root motion off.
stray sand
Ive seen godrays/ volumetric lighting usually done through shaders and particles. I personally don’t think screen based light/ lens effects work too well with vr.
Could you describe how you have your object set up and what your trying to do?
sinful moss
It's a unity third person controller set up to control a little doll/action figure that runs around when a controller is picked up.
works perfectly unity side
it is a whitelisted asset, but somehow breaks.
stray sand
I cant think of any obvious things it could be. Main one i usually hear is items hitting the respawn height resetting it. I have some examples of the standard asset controllers if you want to take a look. https://youtu.be/zyfeH4E3j3w
Can be downloaded here. https://github.com/jetdog8808/JetDogs-Prefabs/tree/V3.1/unity files/prefabs/UI
The video was a early development video.
sinful moss
He's basically done exactly what i have.
I don't see any jumping with the ethan model though, so i can't tell if it works or not.
i take that back, he jumps at 12 seconds

I don't know if any do. I do know that there are a few that you can preload a list of links into though.
You could try Battlephaze's
it's my go to
Wait, lol @stray sand i hadn't read your name
Ahahaha
Can i just snag a copy of your third person script? I may have messed mine up or might have an outdated one.
stray sand
@sinful moss sorry for the late reply. It wouldn’t change anything. If you want to make sure its right its the one from the unity asset store. Also when its loaded into vrchat you load the script vrchat has in its files.
sinful moss
i found the issue, you gave me the clue i needed though, thanks so much

Is there any way for a trigger to change the states of UI elements. For instance check/uncheck a checkbox?
balmy gate
You can use animators for some things, and animation events for others (caveat for events: must be on the same game object) ... for example set checked is probably a thing from animation events
And there's always the option of doing Animator with EventSelectorOnce and have it activate a Button's On Click and do stuff from there

Hello,
I would like to say 'Thank You' for all the help you have given me so I could build my first (and probably only) public world for VRChat. Thank you @near escarp and especially you @balmy gate; without your help I would never have been able to create my world to begin with and I am very appreciative for that. :)
I am Very Happy to say that after 498 uploads and over 700 hours, I finally released my world, meaning I uploaded it to Community Labs just a few minutes ago. Here is a demo video of the world and a link so you can see what you helped me build - Thank You So Very Much. There are still two bugs that I know of, however I am working with some other world builders to resolve them soon. As a plus I was also promoted to Know User today! I think it will be pretty popular. Thanks Again!

Is there any method to achieve a source-engine-like sky box?
modern kayak
you mean the miniature world thing? You could have a second camera to render it, but you'd either get mismatched depth buffer or mismatched clipping plane. Change one and it breaks the other. Unless there was some way to truncate the depth buffer of the main camera, I'm not sure. It may be possible with C#, but definitely not in a vrc world. Probably not even udon.
I'm not sure how source does it, but I would assume it's a performance saving measure based on old hardware. I'm not sure if it's because of differences in hardware or differences in engine, but unity should be able to handle large scale 3D skyboxes, so if you want big meshes off in the distance just go for it and crank up the clipping plane.
one problem you'll run into if you try doing this is if you try to light bake. If a mesh is massive it will take up a ton of space. So either make it non-static, or change it's scale in lightmap to be very small
unborn elk
Have the mesh you want, add the VRC_Mirror Reflection component and the mirror reflection material to it and that should be it. @dry vale

cosmic field
I have a couple questions on these screenshots
In the first one, how do you create the fluffy effect of the carpet? I've tried using a fur shader and it doesn't work. Also, how do you create the reflective quality on the floor? I've tried using probes but they do not look like anything close to professional.
In the second one and third ones, the lights hanging on the walls have a sort of scroll effect with the lighting.
How do I do that? I've also tried to do emissive lighting and I have a hard time with it. Any guides that aren't videos are even harder for me to follow.
ping me back if anyone has answers, I'm headed to sleep
bold ibex
Theres no 1 click solution unfortunately
Use shaders for the floor, up the probe resolution or material for better reflections, use a shader for scrolling lights
stray sand
@cosmic field Carpet and the scroll lights are shaders though the scrolling lights could probably also be done through a animation. For reflections you can raise the resolution and also set the reflection probe to box projection. Image of example.
For light emissions are you baking the lights? Also to make them brighter you will probably be using hdr lighting. The world probably also uses post-processing with some bloom to make the lights pop more.
kindred thicket
As many of you know, I loaded my first world yesterday on Community Labs and I have made it my home world. Everytime I go home or start VrChat it loads the world as private. Is there a way for it to start out public? Also, online I see 2 to 5 instances of my world all the time but they are all private - does that mean I did something wrong? I ask because when I go to other dance worlds I get dropped in a public instance but mine is not doing the same so far as I can tell.
Thanks
modern kayak
Players can always choose what type of instance they want to create. A lot will prefer private or at least friends+, which if you have a lot of friends becomes basically a curated public. The exception is that you can't choose what type your home world is, it's always invite only
kindred thicket
Ok, Thanks
modern kayak
Oh yeah, the other exception is portals. Those are always public. So you could have a private home world with portals to your other worlds. Though that will make new instances rather than joining existing ones
kindred thicket
oh, cool - Thanks for the info!
vale flame
anyone know about health systems or durability meters???
balmy gate
@kindred thicket you can load vrchat:// urls in steam launch options for vrchat to start in a public instance (for example instance 1 or instance null are common)
modern kayak
oh I knew that was a thing before home worlds existed, but I didn't know you could still do that now
balmy gate
I mean that's how vrchat.com/home works: it starts it with a url
If the recent blog post by System was any indication, world URLs and launching from the browser are probably not going away
modern kayak

grave mesa
So i got an issue here, i'll try to explain it, but not sure if i'll be able to, so on some world, i can get a lot closer to other models like super close before it renders away the avatar if they get to close, why does some worlds have that like non existent and how do i do it with my world?
Please tell me if you need more explaining, i'm pretty bad at it
stray sand
@grave mesa it sounds like your talking about the camera near clipping plane. Default is set to .3 while you can lower it to .01. In the scene descriptor you can reference a camera. So create a camera with the near clipping plane option set to what you want and add it.
grave mesa
@stray sand do i do it to the VRCam while i click build and publish?
stray sand
no before you click publish. The vrcam is for the world preview image.

@hexed elm any RenderTexture asset will retain the last image indefinitely if not being updated.
So simply disable the camera component or object once you have taken at least one frame and it should have updated the texture
wraith ruin
So, after i created light probe group, everytime i create new object with probuilder i get this. Whats happening?
random owl
It's just showing you how the lightprobes are affecting the selected object @wraith ruin
After you bake your lights again it'll go away since the lightprobes are no longer needed on lightmapped objects
You can also turn it off in the gizmos tab I think
wraith ruin
ohh ok, i thought it was messing something up because they moved with the object
random owl
Animator might be the cleanest solution
Basically like this
The Test trigger triggers the switch
And all the animations just enable the single object
Just one frame set not to loop
And exit time and fixed duration off
Depending on how you want to set it up
And then you use a trigger to send the animation trigger onto the animator
Also have the animator on a root object and put everything else under it
Just @ me if some part isn't clear to you
wraith ruin
Yes, QvPen is great. https://65536.booth.pm/items/1555789
Really efficient. It can even be made quest compatible, though requires a change to unlit/color shader and non-zero outline width
@balmy gate cannot get that to work. tried figuring it out but the pens just won't draw.

You just write the parameter you set in the animator there

Is there any way to make a slider change an animator parameter or material property value? I haven't dealt with sliders before and now that I am trying to add one I cannot figure out how this would be done.
modern kayak
Yes, go to vrcprefabs.com/browse and check out the synced sliders prefab
tidal jackal
Alright, I think I get how this works but how did you type "output" in the Animator.SetTrigger? When I modify mine it doesn't allow anything but integers in the field.
modern kayak
There are two different animator.settriggers. one takes a string and the other takes an integer
tidal jackal
Ah my bad I didn't see that, thought I had clicked the string one in the first place
modern kayak
Oh yeah and if you're doing this kinda stuff then definitely pick up easy event editor. It exposed private functions and allows you to reorder events
modern kayak
Well the real trick is the syncing
You would rip out most of that if you didn't need it

I don't care about the syncing all I need is basically just to set an animator start frame to the value of the slider, or something similar

@wraith ruin did you import standard assets first and setup layers?

Can't figure out how to allow guests of my world to pick things up. I assume it has to do with free modification. They can pick up anything that isn't somehow related to a controller.
How do i go about fixing that? I have the latest SDK version, but the "Forbid Free Modification" option doesn't exist.
sinful moss
I can't find anything about how to disengage it in the documentation.
just dug into the registry, i actually can't find any mention of it in the VRCSDK files. Why is it still in the documentation and not marked appropriately?
I just want this world to work for everyone, it runs beautifully on the room owners side.

How does the world count work? I’ve noticed it’s changed recently. My world is showing as having 29 players but when you click on it it shows 22 public and 104 privates.
stray sand
@sinful moss it sounds like you have a object sync on a parent of the pickup.
By default the master has ownership of everything which is why it works for them. But with having object syncs on parents of pickups it can cause some weird ownership issues.
vapid badge
how would I go about doing
like
a boss healthbar or rather, boss name on screen?
hud shader around the area?
rain shadow
@vapid badge Either that or use a camera set as don't clear that has a higher depth that renders over the main camera
rain shadow
Have a second camera with the clear flags set as don't clear and then have it so the culling mask can only see one layer, ideally a layer you aren't using for anything else, then create your boss name object or text in the scene and make it a child of the camera and position it so its in the cameras view. if you set the depth to 1 it will be higher than VRCs default camera depth and will render over it
vapid badge
Is there a way to only make it render in a specific area or would this method affect the whole map
rain shadow
Well you could just enable and disable the second camera or animate and change whats displaying in front of the overlay camera
modern kayak
worth mentioning that this technique completely screws up the whole screen if you have a stream camera out
modern kayak
the hud shader is meant for avatars, it has some features that are completely unnecessary for worlds
just have an object following the playertracker and put your UI elements inside it

how do i set the skybox to change using a trigger? i set a button to on interact and then event to change material but how do i get the skybox to set as the reciever?
near escarp
You can interact with the skybox
but you can enable a giant inverted sphere around instead
Check the pins, there's a VRCPrefabs database, inside there's an inverted sphere skybox prefab @slim rivet
cobalt sluice
It would be cool to be able to change the actual skybox, especially since the skybox provides scene lighting
I've seen a lot of worlds with a night mode that is still really bright because they can't change the skybox
near escarp
Post processing is our friends, but yeah, that'd be neat
cobalt sluice
Speaking of, I tried making a day night cycle and saw that the Default skybox changes based on the directional light. Does anyone know how that happens and how to apply the effect to other skyboxes?
slow orbit
@cobalt sluice You'll have to write a shader that gets the main light direction and changes things based on that.
slow orbit
If you don't have any luck @ me and I can try dig up some old shader I bashed together that mostly worked.

im gonna try the inverted sphere if i can figure out how to even make that. i did make an inverted culled coin just by trying to make a coin shape in unity and idk how i messed up so bad

Can some one tell me why my terrain is doing this

how can i make it to where instead of the player having to activate 1 trigger to make 1 event happen, they have to activate multiple triggers to get 1 event to happen
for example, after player collects x amount of items, x event happens
near escarp
An animator ! @bold ibex
If you're ready i can explain the steps to you, it's not too difficult
bold ibex
please go ahead @near escarp
near escarp
Create an animator and a small animation
In that animation place an animation event called step 1
then duplicate that animation and change its name to step 2, step 3 etc for how many events you need
then place all those animations in your animator
near escarp
i'll make some gifs to help for some of the rest one sec
Can the items be collected randomly ?
bold ibex
Well i wanna make it so the player only has to click on the object. It doesn't dissappear or whatnot, because i'm afraid to make it do that action cause it might bug and make the player unable to recieve the reward
near escarp
but will they pick them up in a specific order ?
near escarp
ah, that's a bit harder then, one sec
@modern kayak I have a big brain freeze atm and can't figure out a simple way to do that, but it's being done in a lot of places
How would you do it ?
"how can i make it to where instead of the player having to activate 1 trigger to make 1 event happen, they have to activate multiple triggers to get 1 event to happen
for example, after player collects x amount of items, x event happens"
modern kayak
There are a few ways to do it. Easiest would be to just have a bunch of gameobjects inside eachother, all of them disabled, and then at the very bottom of the stack you have an object with onenable. So it only fires onenable if every one of it's parents is enabled
and then your triggers just enable each one of those separate objects
though if you have more than like 10, that can get difficult to keep track of. In that case, you should use an animator with an integer parameter and just add 1 to it every time. Then you have a transition that goes to another state after the number is reached
bold ibex
what about making an event go off after an audio source finishes playing?
is there a way to make the inside of collider not exist becuse i enable asheild but i want the person inside to roam around still
modern kayak
@bold ibex you'll just have to check how long the audio is and make a delay that long
bold ibex
ok
um... i have no idea what's going on, but it's been on this loading bar for a pretty long time... Longer than what it usually takes to build and test
modern kayak
that's light baking
just give it time, it takes a while
once it's finished, you should go to window > lighting and disable automatic light bake so it doesn't get in your way. It's much better to do it manually after you are ready for it
bold ibex
which one is that setting?

i can't remember or find doc

hexed elm
I have cards in my map that obey gravity. They have object sync so the game master can pick them up and others see where they go... Thing is.. some people who join claim they are upside down when others don't see them that way. What could be causing this?
sinful moss
the buffer type @hexed elm
sinful moss
on the trigger
VRc_trigger, there might be another way though.
i'm too tired to remember everything, sorry.
i came here looking for help too XD
hexed elm
Oh there's another step to that??
I thought vrc pickup and object sync were enough shit
sinful moss
Pickup syncs it to your hands, but when it leaves your hand that movement stops updating for late joiners
everyone there already will see it though
rain shadow
@hexed elm Have you seen the issue yourself or just heard someone mention it?
hexed elm
Both
rain shadow
And the pickup script wont sync anything, it only makes it able to be picked up
So what actually occurs when that happens?
hexed elm
Well I put the card down yeah
It falls with gravity in front of the players chair
It's on its back to everyone
Then someone else joins the room and it seems
Almost random that they will see it different
The card can be upside down to them
rain shadow
How are you moving the cards around? just by hand?
rain shadow
Can you screenshot the setup?
hexed elm
Now, let me elaborate further
I am working on another map yeah
It will use essentially the same script and I wanna stop the issue before I build the map up
I will provide that pic now
so the issue happened in a previous iteration of my map but i wanna stop it for good this time
I know the problem isn't with vrchat because I've seen another map "werewolf/mafia card game" that never has this upside down issue ocurring
and it has cards as well
rain shadow
What's that AlwaysBufferOne trigger for?
hexed elm
if that card touches the furnace box it is reaped
its for game masters to remove cards they dont need anymore
rain shadow
Would recommend setting it to OwnerUnbuffered
hexed elm
i never quite understood owner unbuffered what function does that serve?
in my cards against humanity map reaping cards seems to work fine
rain shadow
Having it as always will make it so that everyone in the room will try to destroy the object which can end up being a lot of unneeded network events
hexed elm
Aaahh figures. Well isn't reaping global. Wouldn't it be better to make it just local?
rain shadow
Having it as owner will make it so only the owner, typically the last person who picked it up to destroy it only
hexed elm
I know spawning objects is always global. Isn't reaping the same or Am I mistaken?
rain shadow
The reap RPC may not work properly if the trigger is set as local
hexed elm
I see.. but anyways the issue remains
Is there some way to sync the position and rotation of the object to ensure late joiners don't see them upside down?
rain shadow
That's what object sync is for
If its syncing the position but not the correct rotation it makes me think its something else causing it though
hexed elm
Hm
rain shadow
Do the cards start as an object in the scene or do you spawn them in?
rain shadow
When the cards are seen as being in the wrong position does picking them up make them appear correctly for everyone?
hexed elm
I haven't tested that
Worst case scenario I think maybe the fact they're spawned in could be throwing off their coordinates
rain shadow
If you can send the world Id I can test it
hexed elm
Ok give me a few minutes
I don't imagine that would happen right off the bat but we'll see I guess
are you still willing to test it? I am publishing it now
rain shadow
yeah
modern kayak
if you've already published it and you want to make a private version, you need to detach the scene descriptor
then it will make a new test build
if you don't, it will override the already published version
modern kayak
you haven't published? then yeah, it's always private
not sure what you're worried about then

where do i get that id

Just a weird question involving vehicles, does anyone know if parameters from Unreal 3 for things like tire friction (both forward and sideways), suspension parameters, torque and weight would be 1:1 values in Unity? I'm redoing my APB Vehicles in a separate project so I can import them to later projects easily, and I got a hold of a data sheet from Little Orbit with all the vehicle stats. So my question is would the stats be able to transfer directly or am I going to have to do a little figuring out and just use it as reference? All the parameters listed in the data sheet are also ones in the unity vehicle parameters (except for APB specific things like explosion radius, spawn cost, health, and ramming multiplier)
The goal is to make the handling as accurate to APB as possible.

nimble echo
Okay, I am having a small issue with trying to create a holster. SuperbStingray has helped me out on the base of it, but I am running into a bit of a brick wall here.
I am attempting to achieve all of this with reparenting, as I felt that would be a good way to go about it. the issue is, I am unable to stop its rigidbody from causing issues and there is no toggle with buttons.
modern kayak
set the rigidbody to kinematic?
nimble echo
it locks it in its place in the worldspace and does not follow its parent
modern kayak
that's odd, kinematic should make it follow the parent
nimble echo
I have confirmed it is indeed parenting
modern kayak
what other scripts are involved? Does it have objectsync?
nimble echo
the object being parented has objectsync, the parent does not.
this is so I can prevent having to use dynamic prefabs and instead rely on object owner sync on the holstered item
modern kayak
yeah, objectsync takes hold of the kinematic property just like an animator would
nimble echo
I see
I was thinking of one solution
followtarget?
Because in the future I want to make arrows. I can always just make those kinematic and lose their objectsync because the parent object would have it. for the holsters though, I don't have that option, so that might be the best bet
like sticking into a shield
modern kayak
It's not a good idea to constantly set the position of an object by scripted motion when it's a rigidbody affected by physics. Because it's momentum will not be cancelled by the script, it will just keep falling faster and faster, and just get teleported back into place. This can make very weird things happen
modern kayak
that or it will bump into other objects and jitter around
well technically you should be able to use a trigger to sendrpc setkinematic on the rigidbody. It hasn't always been reliable, and I don't know the status of that function in the current live build
nimble echo
I think I would prefer to use the button for that
modern kayak
well you want the sendrpc to be local either way
modern kayak
the property is controlled and enforced by the objectsync. If you just set it on the rigidbody, it will be immediately set back by objectsync. You need to communicate with objectsync and then it will set the value instead
modern kayak
I would probably do a configurable joint. Disabling the whole gameobject will make the joint inactive, releasing the object. Reparent the object and the joint into place, then enable the joint, and the object will stick to it
nimble echo
hmm
modern kayak
though you should also set any colliders to trigger in this process because teleporting rigidbodies + using joints + collision with other objects is a recipe for NaN land
modern kayak
also if you aren't already aware, reparenting an objectsync directly will break the syncing. Instead just reparent it's parent and it will still sync just fine
nimble echo
what if we used kinematic + followtarget maybe? because it freezes in space, but does not go to the desired location
modern kayak
yes, as long as you can set kinematic, then you can manipulate it with scripts as much as you want
but changing kinematic at runtime on an objectsync is annoying
nimble echo
I made a base object that has no object sync. let's see how this goes
modern kayak
yeah without objectsync it's easy
nimble echo
highlighted has object sync
I am parenting the parent of it to the holster
correct?
modern kayak
yeah
nimble echo
okay
it works woo
so, I have a trigger to parent, then for the sword to turn kinematic and objectsync teleport to its parent, which has a locally enabled follow script on its new parent.
I could probably ignore the follow script and instead just tell the object's parent to teleport once to the holster
just to make it cleaner
huh, it has escaped me on how to do that
tropic scaffold
Anyone know how to make a mesh pickup thingy?
Im trying to create a pokeball and make it so you can pick it up
nimble echo
oh, sure
do you want it to be able to be in the same location for everyone? or for everyone to be able to move it themselves and only for themselves?
tropic scaffold
Oh i'ma just slap 4 or 3 of them and let everyone pick up their own
nimble echo
I mean, do you want the movements synced between players?
tropic scaffold
Yeah syncing.
nimble echo
okay, and physics?
nimble echo
gotcha
nimble echo
so, let's start off with clicking on one and going to add component on the right
go ahead and add VRC_Pickup
tropic scaffold
Got that
nimble echo
next, is it a perfect ball?
nimble echo
yep
nimble echo
then an object sync
tropic scaffold
k
nimble echo
if there are issues with it being fidgety to grab, try increasing the range in small intervals
nimble echo
do you have a mesh collider?
tropic scaffold
no
nimble echo
"Edit Collider"
nimble echo
lol
doubleclick on the pokeball object
and it will focus on it
in the heirarchy view
nimble echo
strange
tropic scaffold
M e s h? 
nimble echo
I can go into a call with you if you want some help on it real quick
tropic scaffold
yeah
nimble echo
We figured out it was an issue with the origin set on the 3d model itself.

Does Build & Test crash for anyone else? I've tried it in three different versions of Unity and with both the SDK and SDK2, and have rebuilt a simple world over and over, but VRChat crashes as soon as the world loads in.
balmy gate
@nimble hinge you shouldn't be using 3 different versions of unity, nor should you be mixing SDK and SDK2
nimble hinge
...
balmy gate
Does vrchat crash in other worlds?
Make a new project in unity 2017.4.28f1 and import the official sdk
nimble hinge
I have already done that.
balmy gate
New scene, add a cube scaled 10, offset down a bit, add vrcworld a few meters above the surface of the cube, try an upload
nimble hinge
As mentioned, I tried it multiple times, with both the official SDK, and SDK2, and tried it in my older, previously working version of Unity, the newest approved version of Unity, and then in Unity 2018's approved version with SDK2.
balmy gate
Ok but throwing different sdk and unity versions into the mix is going to make it impossible to debug
nimble hinge
It's not occurring because I'm mixing versions. It is occurring in all of them, despite using different ones.
balmy gate
If you import multiple sdk versions in your project them removing them is hard
So try a new project and don't import sdk2
nimble hinge
They are all separate projects. What do you mean?
balmy gate
Ok so you have a 2017 project with sdk. Your scene is very simple and you do build&test and it crashes
Does build&publish work
bold ibex
so I have these dnd dices, with pickup, special layer and object sync.. it still falls through the map.. Anyone knows why?
arctic sparrow
hey anyone know how to add VirtualKeyboard to vrc world?
balmy gate
Have you tried google translating the official instructions from the chiugame booth page? Any included readme?
stray sand
@bold ibex remove the special layer its a old unneeded script. what layer is the dice and table.
also do you have a collider on the dice
and table

Alrighty so yesterday I asked a really long question about transfering vehicle stats from a UE3 game to Unity. Managed to find some time yesterday and gave it a shot and yup they can be transferred over fairly easily, usually just need to add two zeros to the end of a number or a decimal to the beginning.
Just wanted to report back with my findings in case anyone else was curious how it went :)
near escarp
Did you change any layers ?
severe aurora
Hi, I require assistance on figuring something out, essentially what i'm trying to do is have objects with gravity passthrough-able by the player only and have them collide with everything else in the world, if anyone could answer this for me that would help greatly <3
random owl
@severe aurora if you set the objects on the Pickup layer they will not collide with players but will still collide with everything else
abstract cairn
im making a world and the floor and wall texture dont reflect in the mirror. any idea why?
near escarp
Why would they ?
Oh sorry, I read it the wrong way
@abstract cairn Which pieces specifically are not reflecting in the mirror ?
near escarp
What kind of shader are you using for them
abstract cairn
legacy Shaders/Diffuse
near escarp
Yeah don't use legacy shaders

For World making, do you know of a youtube tutorial that describes (in unity) how to make materials and deal with textures in such a way its good for VRchat?
jaunty wyvern
How do you make a button that can turn the colliders on and off?
arctic carbon
@jaunty wyvern add a cube in your scene, then go to the collider section and tick the box "is trigger. Then add a component called VRC_trigger and put it on "OnInteract" and decide if its needs to be local (just for the players that presses the button) or be for everyone (if 1 players presses the button it counts for everyone).
After that set the action to SetGameObjectActive = False and drag in the collider you want to disable.
jaunty wyvern
ah thank you, I was putting a different action ;w; ty ty
arctic carbon
If something is unclear you can find some usefull documentation here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/trigger-summary

How do I build and test my world? I have it ready, and I want to test it. I click build and test, but it just launches or relaunches the game to the default vrc home
jaunty wyvern
It should probably say warnings and errors above the build and test
cloud onyx
jaunty wyvern
I think its because it says offline so, you need internet to work on Unity
cloud onyx
I have internet.
jaunty wyvern
As in WiFi too?
jaunty wyvern
