I have one World.... and the map is divided into two rooms. How can i make something like a teleporter that teleports me from one room into another by lets say triggering a button (cube)
#world-development
random owl
You do a trigger that runs TeleportPlayer on the local player
split magnet
ok... can you run me through the process? is that possible?
random owl
Do you know triggers at all yet?
split magnet
no not yet...i just started learning today
random owl
Do know how to add a component to a gameobject yet?
split magnet
no
random owl
Okay so if you want to keep it simple just make a normal cube
Then when you select it you can add a vrc trigger component on it
split magnet
i has two platforms and two cubes...one cube each for teleporting the player to the other platform
random owl
Yeah you just setup them separately
split magnet
ok trigger for first cube
random owl
Then on the vrc trigger you add a OnInteract
cloud onyx
help
split magnet
done
random owl
Change this to local so it doesn't affect more than the person using the button
Then under the currently empty actions list you can add a new event which you need a TeleportPlayer
split magnet
it does not give me an option to put it on local
random owl
Oh yeah you have to enable the advanced settings checkbox
split magnet
ok done
random owl
And now the receiver is where the player will be teleported
For that you just make a empty gameobject and put it where in the world you want the person to be teleported
split magnet
thats it?
split magnet
do i have to put the empty target object onto the ground?
random owl
Where ever you want the player to be teleported to
split magnet
looks easy
random owl
I usually put them slightly higher just incase
You can look at the documentation for all the different trigger explanations
@cloud onyx is your sdk up to date?
random owl
That sounds like it's out of date I would need to check what the current version number is
You most likely have some problem in the world causing you to get thrown out
cloud onyx
random owl
Yeah that's the latest one then
If you dm me your vrchat log of you trying to test the world I can check what it says there
"C:\Users%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat"
cloud onyx
I may have found the problem?
split magnet
it worked like a charm 🙂 i can now teleport from one room to another
cloud onyx
random owl
Just turn the gameobject the way you want them to be teleported in
The blue arrow is the way they'll teleport when looking at the local pivot
cloud onyx
This is the only Unity error I get

this is so cool, OMG im in love
i saved the images into a folder so i can remind myself how to do it, thank you 1
what is the standart height of an avatar? Do i need to generate a door frame with a maximum height? or can i make a door frame with a standart height of 2 meters, like in Real Life?
cedar nebula
you might have problems collision wise, the doorway needs to be at least 2 meters tall or else the player collider gets stuck. I don't know the actual size, but a 2.1 hole seems to work fine?
split magnet
yes, you are right...i just experienced it... the collision box is 2 meters...and if the door is exactly 2 meters than the avatar gets stopped for a second.
random owl
Yeah remembered that it was 1.8 for some reason
split magnet
but to make it more realistic looking... i put the door frame height to 2.50 meters
i felt like a giant looking right at the frame with my nose when i walked through
random owl
There's not much to know that's vrchat specific for materials other than crunch compress your textures and adjust their size to be sensible in the case you are using that texture in
Usually for worlds you want to stick to standard shader (unless your are building for quest) you might find some information on pbr workflow though
split magnet
i just looked at it
its cool
but...why is it 20 MB?
how do i see the megabyte size of my little space?
random owl
split magnet
okok...mine says 60 kb so far
can i assume ...that 480 triangles are 60 kb of geometrical data?
because right now my project is 480 triangles big
thats 1.2 mb for 10 000 triangles...is that corect?
random owl
Triangles are usually your smallest worry in a worlds file size
Most of the file size comes from textures and such
split magnet
i know...but am i correct in the assumption that 480 triangles is 60 kb?
random owl
It's most likely gonna be hard to but triangles into kilobytes since that's not all the data contained in a 3d model
split magnet
i am aware of that
and i will plan accordingly
a 1k colour texture can have up to 500kb
im planing roughly 1 MB per object
random owl
That's honestly not the best way to approach world building
split magnet
and why do you think so?
im surly not getting suprised by staggering Megabite numbers
and i keep a certain overview about what the scope of my project might or might not be
random owl
I mean if that way works for you why not but since a world usually is comprised of multiple objects of varying sizes and features I wouldn't really think about it like that when approaching building a new world
split magnet
nods
i have a shitty internet conection...i download 3 MB per seconds... lets assume i do not want to wait longer than 10 seconds for my map to load...than i need to keep it around 30 MB in size
random owl
There's a lot of ways to optimize a worlds download size even while having a lot of stuff in it
split magnet
of course
its all about planing so i do not get crazy with building and have nasty suprises in a week or two weeks time into the production
if i can optimize it and get it even smaller than expected, i would be happy 🙂
i am sure the hardware is cool enough to deal with much larger sizes
i feel like 1999 all over again when i had to calculate every kb on images when doing a webpage
but this could all change in the next 24 months
when we get proper internet in the country side of Australia
than i will not worry about download speed

Anyone know of or have an edge detection shader or image effect? Preferably one that works on geometry. I just want to have a black outline on all edges, showing from all angles.
I tried using https://github.com/jean-moreno/EdgeDetect-PostProcessingUnity with post-processing stack, but I don't think it works anymore. It just covers the camera with a black splotch.
near escarp
What you tried any of the avatar shaders just in case ?
nimble hinge
Yeah, that screenshot is with Poiyomi's, for example, but it doesn't affect the areas that really need it, such as that raised area in the background. They also don't seem to outline edges on the inside of objects, just the general outline of the object as a whole.
ripe garden
Ah from what i remember poiyomi does that intentionally, that is to not outline the hair strands or inside of the eye sockets for example, not sure if there is an option to disable it
bold ibex
anyone knows how to make an object (pickup) reset? as in if i move it somewhere and click a reset. It will go back there like how it spawned?
stoic stream
In the VRC_Trigger script, if you set-up multiple OnInteracts and then put together an animation sequence using AnimationIntAdd / AnimationIntSubtract - is it often a good item to chain them all within the same VRC_Script or should I add another VRC_Script component for each set of actions?
stoic stream
For reference: testing the sequence with the 'Play' button works right, but doesn't work properly in-game.
split magnet
should i use Ambient Occlusion by post processing or should i bake AO textures and use those instead?
what is better for VRchat?
nimble hinge
I ended up just editing the UVs to produce the effect I was looking for, but now I've run into a new issue.
For some reason, it shows up way differently in unity than in Blender, once imported.
I'm using the default shaders, and it continues to occur with Poiyomi's. Any ideas?

@bold ibex QvPen (requires standard assets and vrcsdk setup layers first).
You must make two mods: search for Ink in the inspectorand use shift click to select all objects named exactly "Ink"
- change the shader dropdowns to Unlit/Color
- Set the trail width from 0 to 0.005
Here's the creator's tweet in japanese:

Oh and the actual asset: https://booth.pm/ja/items/1555789 @bold ibex
balmy gate
I'd suggest having is trigger
Oh wait thats the pickup
What layer is the pickup on
And what settings are on your trigger collider that detects it
You showed the enter trigger but what collider does it have
Also what layer is the trigger object on
The trigger object?
I would consider default even
Pickup might not collide with everything
It needs to be on a layer compatible with both playerlocal and pickup
Check the collision matrix in edit->project settings-> physics

-tried making teleportation where you just walk into an object and you teleport but it didnt work, so made it where you trigger an object and tp. but sometimes your avatar gets stuck behind a wall object etc. but your view point still teleports.
-how to make a clock( have this clock prefab with scripts seems like it should work but it doesn't just stays at 00:00) or does it have to be a certain an asset made just for vrchat
-the objects that have a certain layer and they should not show up in a mirror, but they still show up in game mirror

Soo In my world I have weapons that are using the Pickup and using the "Grip" to align the gun in the correct orientation. However, when I use PC to pick it up, its pointed the right direction, but when I get in VR the weapons point up instead of forward. Curious if this is intended behaviour/ how to fix. The orientation is off by 90deg depending if in VR or screen mode.

@fallow turtle Can you show how you setup your teleportation ? Would help debug it

How can you activate player avatars key shape or animations with the world stuff
Assuming that the Avatar was made for the world
Like something Special animation that only plays if something happens in the world for only that world

OHH i see the documentation now, for some reason using "Grip" instead "Exact Gun" does indeed differ by 90degs. Guess Ill just switch them over and should be fixed. Rather odd "grip" is setup to be different for vr/pc.

@ivory swift if you're asking about MMD worlds and the like, they use stations

Hey guys, anyone know how to make UI scroll bars work in VRChat? I followed some instructions that aren't VRC specific for making the scroll bar but I can't find anything specifically for VRChat.
balmy gate
Station lets you use an animator controller that lets you override blend shapes (assuming you know their names and they use Body as their mesh name) and move humanoid animator properties @ivory swift
@civic cipher Anything in UI should work in vrchat worlds. It will create a Canvas. Make sure to set the Canvas to world space and create a VRC_UI Shape component on it. As well as a very skinny box and appropriately sized collider component on the surface of the canvas
For scrollbar and slider especially, make sure to change the Navigation dropdown to None in the inspector. Otherwise walking around will change the last focused ui element.
civic cipher
Ohh cool, that fixed most of it. Thanks @balmy gate. Only thing is that it scrolls when I look at it while pressing a movement button in desktop mode
balmy gate
Navigation to None should fix that @civic cipher
Check all the individual scrollbar objects inside the scroll view
civic cipher
@balmy gate Setting navigation to none isn't fixing it. I checked all of the objects in my UI and there's only one with a navigation property and that's set to none.
balmy gate
only thing I can think is mess with "movement type" setting of the Scroll Rect -- try making it so there's no way to move it without the scrollbar. you can go to play mode and use arrowkeys or mouse to check this.
Each scrollbar itself should have a navigation - there could be two scrollbars if you have a scroll rect so I would double check
bold ibex
@balmy gate Havent updated it xD I will now
civic cipher
@balmy gate Nah, I double checked everything. There's only one of everything:
I just tested a scroll bar in a world that's currently in the community spotlight and evidently the creator of that world doesn't know what to do about this issue either. I wonder if this is a bug in the VRC SDK.
rain shadow
@civic cipher Can you not interact with the scroll bar only or is it all UI you cant interact with?
civic cipher
@rain shadow I can interact with the scroll bar. I'm trying to make it not scroll just from pointing at the UI panel and pressing a movement key. It's irritating when a panel scrolls as I'm trying to stand closer to make it easier to read.
rain shadow
If it still occurs even when all the UI elements in your scene have navigation set to none that could be a bug
civic cipher
Yeah it's possible. I've found worlds made by other people with the same issue.
bold ibex
@balmy gate Wait a sec, it didnt work? I changed all the shaders to unlit color and all to 0.005
balmy gate
those settings are correct. not sure what went wrong in game when I tried it. I'll have to check again

Hi everyone, I am working on my first world and it is ready for upload so I opened the control panel/builder and confirmed "do it" on the prompts and there were no errors, I tested it using my VIVE and everything worked. The issue I am running into is when I try to build & publish it does start to process but the mouse disappears and freezes on the window where I would name and such and the only way to get control of my Unity is the Exit play mode. I have tried using Unity 2017.4.28f1 and I just tried to build it on 2018.4.14f1 and I am using the most updated SDK VRCSDK-2019.09.18.12.05_Public. Never had an issue uploading avatars before so this is new to me.
fallow turtle
should use Unity 2017.4.28f1
jaunty grove
Yeah, I thought so. I have always used that version but got the same result @fallow turtle . The world is not crazy big and loads up very quick when testing. I removed custom shaders, removed the lake shader too
jaunty grove
I have a FPS Drifter to tour the world could that be an issue? If I remove that should I just use a standard camera as the reference camera?
near escarp
if that's a custom script it won't work
jaunty grove
thank you @near escarp that helped me with the screen freezing now I just need to do more to research on optimization because the upload failed.
no errors after I removed the pipeline, I assume I must do the test first then upload
jaunty grove
I understand, testing went fine and I am new to thing so I do not know what happened.

Happy Friday!
I have been experimenting with the Hangout Player and I have noticed that the Previous and Next buttons normally work good. However when you click Stop the player says loading and the playlist empties so only the last song played is played when you click Previous or Next. Is this Normal behavior?

Thanks

i wanna make a new area in the world should it just be far away from the first one to not be noticeable or creating new scenes work here( you teleport to dif area with different skybox etc.
can u even have two skyboxes in one scene?
balmy gate
@civic cipher two ways to do discontinuous trail pens:
- First and most common (works on avatars too): use Snail's pen shader which removes large polygons with a geometry shader, combined with an animation that moves the pen up/down by like 1000m to release it.
- Second option: Instantiate a trail renderer for each pen stroke. This works efficiently even on quest because Unity will batch trail renderers!! QvPen uses this technique, using ExplosionFireAndDebris as the script to instantiate objects.
@fallow turtle to control skyboxes: you cannot animate a skybox directly, so a few options:
- use a skybox shader which switches cubemap based on directional light orientation. There is one linked in prefabs database and Maebbie has a tutorial on this. Not quite intended for this use case.
- make a duplicate material for each skybox you want. Use a UI Button to invoke the CopyPropertiesFromMaterial on your skybox material. I don't think anyone has tried this before but it sounds super easy so report back if you give it a try. Use EventSelectorOnce from toybox to make a UI Button object that auto clicks itself when activated.
- use the classic inverted sphere method: just make a sphere with flipped normals around each area, or attach it to the "player tracker" (see toybox in prefabs database) and animate that
@kindred thicket it's common for stop buttons to clear the playlist: but usually because they do a SendRPC Clear. I think not clearing the playlist can be use. Also double check if you are using the sync video stream (more compatible but windows 10 only) or sync video player version.... I think hangout player supports both
Video players in VRChat are so buggy it's hard to say if the problem isn't in VRChat itself D-:

@balmy gate Thanks for the Info.
If I turn off "Normal" I get a pink screen, in world I hear sound but see no video. If both "VRCVideoSync" and "Normal" are enabled then I can see and hear the video (which is how I have had it all along). Turning off "Normal" makes everything stop working. I turned off the Sound in the Prefab because I'm using a different one and all the controls, Play, Stop, etc, are pointed at VRCVideoSync and are targeted to "Owner".
This is the VRCVideoSync
I have just been shrinking it and moving it behind "Normal"
balmy gate
Pink is a bit weird. Can you check what shader is selected on that quad's material?
I think generally you use Video/RealtimeEmissiveGamma
kindred thicket
I don't see a material listed anywhere. I will try to add one and turn off "Normal"
balmy gate
Hmm? It had material set to null?
kindred thicket
It didn't have a material component until I dragged the Video Material I'm using on "Normal"
This might really fix some things.

what's the best way to setup a chain reaction system? lets say there are 3 objects the player can interact with, and once you interact with one, the other 2 objects that the player didn't interact with are replaced with different objects depending on which object the player interacted with. For example, lets say the 3 objects are a treasure chest, a sword, and a gem.
When the player interacts the chest first, the sword and gem have different locations than they originally had, but when the player clicks on the sword or the gem first, vice versa happens. The remaining two objects have a different location(basically i duped the objects and placed them in a different location on the map, and hid them).
But if the player interacted with x object first, the other remaining objects would have a similar outcome.
for example, if player interacted with the chest first, then interacted with the gem next, the sword would change its' location, but if the player interacted with the gem instead of the sword first, the sword would change its' location.
Vice versa for if the player interacted with the gem/sword first(if (chest/sword) or (chest/gem) interacted with, remaining object has their location changed)
right now i only have one object that has multiple duplicates of itself and each duplicate has a different location on the map, the rest of the two objects don't have different locations.
for example, the sword has 3 different locations, two are hidden duplicates, and one is the first sword location, which is an unhidden sword, and depending if the player interacts with the sword or not, I wanna make an event to trigger to where if player doesn't interact with the sword, the swords' location changes(basically hides the first sword, and unhides the second sword) and vice versa if player doesn't click on the second sword(hide second sword, unhide third sword)
but i'm worried if player interacts with one object to hide the first sword and unhide the second sword, that if the player interacts with the second object it will unhide the first and third sword

Does anyone know if there are any microphone assests for unity?
like a user who can talk into a microphone and it plays throughout the world
balmy gate
@inner kernel You should to look at player audio override: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_playeraudiooverride - it is designed for that purpose: everyone inside The collider is amplified.
Tips: put the collider on the MirrorReflection layer to avoid interfering with object interraction; enable the object only locally on the player who has the mic. As craZy as it sounds, player audio is computed locally

frozen glade
like this? @bold ibex
bold ibex
more along the lines of this
frozen glade
huh
bold ibex
it's above the place i want to teleport the player
frozen glade
yea but i still get stuck in the door when i do it
bold ibex
do you need a collider on the door?
frozen glade
isnt the collider needed to trigger the door
bold ibex
what specifically do you want to do? and you don't need the teleport location to be right at the door. Have it next to the door or something
frozen glade
simply want to build a outside from the house
so i want the door to telport you outside and back in.
bold ibex
oh? Then create an animation for the door to rotate it/ make it look like it's opening if the outside is literally right out the door. If it's not, just make a duplicate house where outside is, have the inside area door have a trigger that teleports player to outside, preferably placed near the outside door, facing away from it, and have the outside door with a trigger to do the same thing with the inside area, with the teleport location near the door, but facing away from it.
frozen glade
the door isnt seperated sadly^^
bold ibex
if you hide the door, can outside be seen?
bold ibex
oh? if the door has a knob, then create a sphere, put a transparent material on it, then put an oninteract trigger on it that teleports the player to x destination, and vise versa on the other side of the door.
place said sphere where the knob is
frozen glade
would still get stuck in the door somehow
bold ibex
even if the teleport location is nowhere near the door?
if that's so, check to see if the collision is set up right. some houses aren't made hollow after all.
especially the ones from the asset store. so far the only hollow houses there are the Mega Fantasy Pack ones
frozen glade
outside teleporting works fine but back in is like nah
the door has no knob outside but i will add one.
fallow turtle
is this how you would add bloom? ( is the bloom(optimized) the right option or whatever i want?)
tropic yarrow
@fallow turtle to add bloom you need to use Post-Processing Stack 2 on player's reference camera,you can get it from github page
fallow turtle
alright i'll look into it

the QvPens dont draw ingame sometimes , can moving folders around in assets ruin things?
ok fixed it, seems like you cant move some folders around
regal hollow
Is it possible for small avatars to go thru small holes??
tropic yarrow
@regal hollow collider on the head and something advanced, or on beta(in future) with udon easy method is to make 2nd collider from head to model's bottom and resize it on Update method and use it for world collision instead of original player collider; if you have an idea how to make it with triggers you can use this method too
sinful moss
How are people making horizontal platforms drag players? Is it a unity trigger reparent?
balmy gate
have you seen a working example of this recently?
running a "seamless teleport" script every frame will move you at a velocity equal to the world position of the teleport object
there's no way to reparent the player, and my understanding is physics based solutions don't work any more, at least provided that the player is "grounded". there may be a trick to unground the player and then hit them with a physics object to launch them, but I don't know if that is reliable
I think the classic moving platform physics broke around a year ago. maybe even earlier if they ever worked at all
Seamless teleport can be found in the prefabs database, in the pinned messages
There's a new searchable database too btw!!

Heyo, I have an issue where I combined the unity blocks and then when I apply the material, its not wrapping around correctly. How can I combine these blocks, then have the brick texture not tile like that?
Brick texture ^
kindred thicket
I have a number of trigger cubes that don't show the Interact icon for desktop users unless you are literally 1/2 inch from them. They are on the Default Layer, do you have any ideas why. I even tried setting the Proximity to 5 with no change.
Thanks
noble ether
Change it like 9.2, thats my magic number @kindred thicket
kindred thicket
ok, Thanks I will try it.
kindred thicket
Hmmm, that didn't make a difference. I will try making them from scratch.
kindred thicket
Well, that didn't make a difference. It appears that when I make the button anything other than Local, the Proximity value doesn't work.
kindred thicket
I have been working on a video player also, I am really close to getting it to work the way I want, at least with just one person in the room. What problem are you having?
fallow turtle
for some reason these random reflections apeared (the reflections are from a far away reflection probe , but even if i turn all reflection probes off its still there
its like that one reaflection probe became global idk
kindred thicket
is it possible you baked already and the material is showing the baked reflection? Sometimes I have had to undo the bake for it to reset to the actual lighting.
fallow turtle
i deleted the probe and the wall has probes off and its still there
is unity trolling me?
kindred thicket
If the "Clear" button is enabled, click it to clear the bake.
This will show you if you have baking
fallow turtle
what does ocllusion culling have to do with it
oh do i rebake the whole lightning?
kindred thicket
Occlusion makes things disappear when it's not in the players view. I have used that to clear my baking in the past. you will need to rebake when you are done with the lights and they are the way you want.
fallow turtle
rebaked evrything that reflection probe doesnt even exist and the reflection is still everywhere
kindred thicket
Is it here when you clear the baking?
fallow turtle
ya baked without the reflection probe
its everywhere, water too. the reflection apeared when i just opened unity(before if was all good)

You are now beyond my ability to help, hopefully someone else will chime in. 🙂

it has something to do with the player character?
and to control what the avatar does?

i can make a door button that will tell the Door to slide to the side (animation) ?
random owl
Yeah that's one thing you can do
split magnet
with animator
near escarp
Very easy yes
split magnet
if i want to make a energy door...i would need to make a physical object (which will be the energy wall) have no collision box (to make it none physical)
do i use the animator for it too?
near escarp
in that case it's better to disable the collider component with a trigger
split magnet
or should i do a Teleport instead
near escarp
You can do anything !
random owl
In that case it really just depends on how you want to do it
split magnet
so it will not be negative on the system resources
near escarp
it's not about efficiency, it's about what you want to do
there's no performance cost involved
split magnet
ok
near escarp
unless you have hundreds of complex animators

i might have 20 or more energy doors at one stage

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it's possible to import model of a world from the 3d design program known as Rhino to Unity. I am more familiar with using the Rhino program, and was wondering if there are anything I should be aware of. I assume applying textures, placing lightings and special effects, as well as granting which objects are physical or can be mesh are something I should know when importing the model.
random owl
Can it export in FBX format?
somber ember
yes it can
random owl
Then you should usually export into FBX and use that in unity
The rest of your questions don't really have a simple answer since there's plenty things you need to do when world building
Optimization is important though

You could work on it in beta

Okay, finally got everything working, but my avatar spawns in extremely tiny, does changing the size of the spawn object affect the size of the player when spawned in

@fresh quail If the world is too big you will need to scale it down to the player size, you can't scale the player

Easiest to just scale it to a size that feels right

any of you know how to set an object as an ai that follows the closest player and will do damage upon contact?
coral ruin
this is probably a stupid question, but how do i make objects solid? i keep falling through my world infinitely
candid yoke
click add component, and search "mesh collider"
on the thing you want to collide with
coral ruin
ah alright, so do i change anything or is it just having the collider good enough?
random owl
Also as a note a mesh collider is not always the best idea esp if you are putting them on something that's very high poly
coral ruin
im trying to make a floor
random owl
If it's just a box shape just add a box collider
But that also depends on how your world is shaped on how you should do it
random owl
In that case mesh collider is usually okay as long as you they aren't super high poly
coral ruin
alright the mesh worked nicely
now i gotta figure out how to make the sky not grey, and add some sound
random owl
For the sky you gotta swap out the basic unity skybox to something else
coral ruin
oh i just realised why its black but i dont know how to fix it
so uh. yknow if you import a transparent image, it doesnt show up transparent? how do you make it actually transparent?
because this is.. kinda funky
random owl
What exactly is that?
coral ruin
clouds around it
coral ruin
the flowers do it to
how do i change them?
random owl
Select the texture in your project and set alpha as transparency
Might also have to swap the shader settings
coral ruin
i set alpha as transparent and it just removed a bit of staticy lookign stuff between where the image stops and the solid colour begins
random owl
Did you change the material settings?
If your material is set to use opaque they can't be see trough gotta go cutout or transparency depending on the case
coral ruin
im a bit confused as to what you mean
random owl
Oh yeah I think you have the materials embedded right now you gotta select the model in your assets and go to the materials tab in your import settings for it
There should be extract materials there
coral ruin
all of the textures shown in my world are coming from the png images in my assets folder. i think thats the case because before i put them in the entire world was solid white
coral ruin
oh right, the flower says it has a shader called m5 on it. it doesnt let me change it though
oh
oh
random owl
Those are embedded right now so you can't change the settings
If you select the model in your assets and then extract the materials you can change the settings
coral ruin
o.o
random owl
Go to the folder where you extracted the materials to
Make sure the shader is set to standard
coral ruin
it didnt exactly give me an option to export. it only had the thing to change from embeded to legacy
random owl
What did it look like?
coral ruin
random owl
What is in that materials folder at the top of your assets folder?
random owl
Now select the one's that should have transparency and either change them to cutout or transparency
coral ruin
woah
the flowers be lookin fresh but the skybox still isnt visible
ive decided to just get rid of the clouds already there and just implement a skybox that already has clouds

Is there a way for invert a camera in VRChat?
I would like it to act like a mirror.
stray sand
@kindred thicket what are you trying to do?
kindred thicket
I have a number of camera in my world and when you are on the stage performing you can watch the performance in front of you, but when you move left in the camera you move right. I would like the camera to be inverted so when you move right, on the screen it moves right also.
stray sand
I would just invert the uvs on the mesh you are using.
Inverting the display instead of the camera.
stray sand
Not sure why you are using a particle shader. But you can change the transform to -1 to invert it or change the tiling to -1
kindred thicket
Thanks for mentioning that, When I use the the regular shader, the screen shines white and that ruins the look of the stage. So since I couldn't figure out how to change that (I tried a lot of may), I resorted to a Black material and the Unlit Particle Shader to lighten the screen so the video can be seen. Other wise it's dark.
Got it, Thanks

You can simply use the shader Unlit/Texture

If you want a very basic music player. Have the music you want on separate audiosources with play on wake enabled. Then have triggers that enables the song you want and disables the ones you don’t want.

I have been able to get the Stream player to work pretty good in my world - I just had 8 people in the room and it worked. It was glitchey, but far better than it was. Just a quick question, why is the target set to Owner? Is there a better setting for this that will improve performance or reduce glitcheyness? It's the Hangout player and I want anyone in the room to be able to use the player at any time.
split magnet
i assume nobody has done a tutorial about that stuff yet?
stray sand
@kindred thicket keep it as owner. The network owner is the one who syncs the video player to everyone. So if another person want to click the next button that method has to be set to the owner if the video player. The custom url stuff works cause you can change the owner if the video player.

Are you using a audio source for the music or a video player?
Oh wait just clicked in my head.
round cradle

Syncing audio sources is not very straight forward.
If you have a late joiner join during a song it will have that new user starting at the beginning of the song.

Audio source. I have two different ways to interact in the world, scripted dances using an audio source and a live freestyle rock band situation using a stream player.
Well, I don't want it starting at the beginning so I'm good the way it is. Thanks
The stream player does what I want.

supple drift
@split magnet SetGameObjectActive + set the audio source's game object to false. Can also use SetComponentActive if you have other components on the game object that you don't wanna disable.
winter stump
Is there a max amount of non-static objects allowed?
cedar nebula
That is completely situational. Meshes under 300 tris will automatically be Dynamically Batched, but there is some CPU overhead for that. Otherwise you can enable GPU Instancing in the settings of your materials, but this will only instance objects that share the same mesh and material, and it can easily be broken by all sorts of things like lightprobes, reflection probes, that sort of thing. Outside of these, it's safe to assume that every material on every non-static objecting is adding another drawcall. And too many drawcalls is no good
winter stump
yeah the less the better, but I was thinking like pixel lights there is a limit per object. so I thought there might be a limit to how many non-static objects there can be at a single moment
cedar nebula
Oh like an actual hard limit? Not that I know of, I guess it's as many as your computer can handle

also, when i use the HMD it teleports me as expected. But i take the HMD with me. IF somebody else is in the room and also needs to use the HMD as teleport can now not do it because the HMD is with me at the new location

it teleports me somewhere else when i use it

when you click on it, you go where you want, but take the HMD with you? but want it to stay where you last put it?
split magnet
i can pick it up and hold it in my right hand....and when i use it it teleports me....the problem is..the HMD teleports with me
kindred thicket
because it's still in your hand. Which makes sense because I have a dance world and if I have something in my hand when I start the dance, then it goes with me. It's floating in the air because I'm invisible and on the Pad, but my avatar is dancing in front of me. I can even move it around.
I don't know how to force the object to be dropped
on a trigger
split magnet
we have similar problems yes.
kindred thicket
It doesn't hurt my world at all. If you want everyone to have their own HMD you can make it local
split magnet
another person who was with me in the room, who also would have to pick up the HMD and teleport, can not TP now because it is in my hand and not ontop of the Desk in the other room

Maybe you could make an animation that moves the object back to the Desk, then it can be trigged after you arrive at the new location.

Hiya guys, Posted an update to a world i did yesterday to the community labs. Wanted to have your guys honest oppinion on the world and if its something i should fix or change. This is my first world i have made and released. Worlds name on community labs is Hope. 🙂
any tip or hint how i can improve or fix the world is highly appreciated
random owl
It's a really good world for being your first world
The lighting seems to be baked properly on all parts
And the performance is very good
You seem to not have occlusion culling right now though which is the one thing you could improve on
Otherwise great job 👍 time to start on a new world

how do you get a video player in a vr chat world that you can enter a url into and play it like the one juibi showd in his screen shot
fallow turtle
go to pinned msg's
there is a link for buncha prefabs
the video player is called iwaSyncVideo somthing like that
i use this video player too but for some reason some ppl crash when someone changes the video idk
bold ibex
@random owl Thanks for the feedback ^^, i will work on the occlusion culling 🙂

Hey guys :) I was wondering if anyone knows this: is it possible and if so how can I make all items that are able to be picked up eventually respawn to their original place?
I have a lot of items / props in my world that people can interact and play with, but it kind of gets a bit messy in the end.
buoyant hollow
yes that is possible. Have objects set to respawn in the vrcworld object. Now when you drop a item off the map it will respawn. Set up a teleport point that is just above the respawn height. Set up a local trigger that is on drop, teleport to, that respawn point you set up. Give that trigger a set time. Sadly this method does not restart the timer if you pick the object back up. @bold ibex
be aware that if multiple objects respawn at once they will violently collide with each other and you will get a network lag spike.
bold ibex
@buoyant hollow i understand, thank you so much for clearing it :)
buoyant hollow
you can use animators to make a timer that does reset when you pick up the object, it does add a bit more complexity though.
stray sand
@buoyant hollow @bold ibex the object sync component has a respawn method. Ive used a timer trigger on a sub gameobjects that gets enabled on drop and when triggers uses the respawn method.
Ive not experienced any troubles with it so far.
buoyant hollow
Thanks Jetdog. That is very good to know.
fallow turtle
can you have more than one video player? i put in two but weird stuff happenin when you try to press something ( videos change place/ dissapears etc.)
and does this(dynamic prefabs on vrcworld obj.) sync the videos for everyone?
empty pivot
hi, was just woundering if anyone knows what im doing wrong, im trying to get my world completly dark to mess around with spot lights and whatever but whenever I do the world itself still lights up even if I turn off and on scene light
near escarp
Disable realtime global illumination, and you should find a simpler skybox !
empty pivot
thank you!
fallow turtle
why are the arrows facing wrong way
fallow turtle
yea was trying changing it but if the plane or edge is selected it doesnt change
near escarp
is that a probuilder thing ?
fallow turtle
yea, its probably because of that
split magnet
I have problems uploading a test world...the speed is incredibly slow and times out after a while
Is there a solution for this?
near escarp
What's in your test world ?
split magnet
Around 6 MB of geometry and textures
It worked the other day
But in the last 48 hours it does not
Lets see if it works today
bold ibex
guys, can i ask you. have been trying to search around. Do anyone here know where and how i can get pens in to a world?
bold ibex
damn, but thanks anyway 🙂
split magnet
4 min for 50%
Thats 3 mb in 4 min
So far it has not timed out
That was 8 minutes
Is this normal?
Or just my crappy internet?
cedar nebula
@split magnet have you disabled Future Proof Publishing in the SDK settings yet? Because if not, you should try that
blazing laurel
@bold ibex use QvPen: https://booth.pm/en/items/1555789
split magnet
why, what does "Future Proofing" do?
bold ibex
@blazing laurel Thank you so much ❤️
blazing laurel
Future proofing has no effect right now @split magnet it was used to upload your world as a unity package
fallow turtle
is there a limit how much you can update the world? cuz i keep forgeting things 😄
near escarp
Nope
fallow turtle
okey
split magnet
fun things happen to me from time to time... ever so often unity applies randomly textures to all the objects
so i have to retexture every single object again to make it look right again
it happened two times in the last 10 days and today
bold ibex
anyone knows how to add music to a world and not increase the worlds mb by 50? I have this 1 hour mix that I want to add in and I cannot do it via video player so I can make it quest compatible
glacial pond
Using Unity, How do I make world "test world" launch the desktop client instead of running on my rift
nvm found it
Actually no, I still need help
I've disabled VR Support in Player Settings but when i do a test build it re-enables itself.
latent glacier
so im falling threw the floor on a world im making for vrc how to fix this?
split magnet
click on your mesh you want to import...tick the box near Generate Colliders
that should do the trick
latent glacier
i thank i may have made the room to small LOL
blazing laurel
@glacial pond unplug rift before you launch the world
glacial pond
well yes that works but i'm looking for a unity solution x_x it's very inconvenient to move my whole tower just for unity dev
split magnet
is there something like "states" with triggers? i would like to make a slideshow and the next button is supposed to trigger the next material
near escarp
animators yep
kindred thicket
Yes, I used to have a trigger that moved a carousel each time a cube was clicked. It's just a matter of making the animation trigger the next state using the same parameter.
Mine was called Next.
split magnet
i need a tutorial/video tutorial that explains it to me in an easy digestible way
kindred thicket
I can send screen shots like the other day. Were they easy to understand?

Suggestion, is there a way to archive 1001's world?

latent glacier
how do i make a spawn location for my world?
stray sand
@light holly scrn might have access to the source files. So mainly up to them what happens to it. Other then that just have to hope backwards compatibility in vrchat updates go well.
@latent glacier in the scene descriptor you can set up a array of spawn locations.
latent glacier
so i made a world but the items wor to small and when trying to re load the world after updating every thing and making stuff biger and adding some extra stuff it loads the out dated instance with the micro sized furniture
kindred thicket
Are you doing it in Test mode?
latent glacier
yes
kindred thicket
Sometimes Test Mode doesn't load right (most of the time for me), I always upload it as private then make it my home for testing. That has almost never failed.
It takes longer but not as long as having to do it three times in test mode to work once.
latent glacier
yay it crashed and got rid of the vrchat sdk LOL
cedar nebula
@latent glacier check your Unity console for errors and try to resolve them, usually it's a script from one of the assets you downloaded which is giving you problems
sinful moss
VRC_trigger spawned objects seem to forget their Teleport-to transforms.
The originals function flawlessly and move to the designated position when prompted, but all copies either fail to teleport at all or (in cases where the original remains present,) teleport to the original.
The respawn action, while mostly functional, only returns the objects to the original world position. I need the copy's teleport transforms to move around the world with the player.
Does anyone have experience with this?
modern kayak
spawned objects in general cannot maintain their references to the outside world, it's not just teleport to and it's not a bug, it's a limitation of prefabs
sinful moss
the teleport transform is currently inside the object technically, i had hoped that would circumvent that. I think i just came up with an alternative though. I'll experiment and post results if any are useable.
modern kayak
so you want the respawn to teleport them back to where they were first spawned?
sinful moss
The Source that the object spawns from moves around the world, i need the spawned objects to respawn onto the moving platform.
modern kayak
yeah that's an outside reference. Prefabs can't have outside references
you can get around this with dynamic prefabs, but they can be buggy and you need a couple workarounds to work with them. If it is possible in your use case, it would be easiest to have a pool of objects that you bring in and take out, rather than spawning and destroying.
sinful moss
The moving platform is inside the prefab
modern kayak
but it exists from the world start?
sinful moss
yes
modern kayak
I don't mean it needs to be inside a prefab, I mean it needs to be inside the prefab that gets spawned. Spawned prefabs are entirely self contained
modern kayak
you said it exists from world start. That means it's not inside any of the spawned prefabs
sinful moss
Order of events (so you can see what i mean):
1.The world starts
2.The initial prefab instance is triggered (containing all the sub objects that i'm trying to move.)
-
A player interacts with the origin objects.
-
additional origin objects can be spawned as well via trigger.
When trying to move the spawned sub objects of the dynamic prefabs that i use as containers for additional moving platforms, what i stated initially above occurs.
It's good to know that it wasn't something i was doing wrong, but now i want to find a way to do it anyway.
there has to be one, i just need to get creative.
modern kayak
right, those additional objects will have no references to the initial prefab
sinful moss
..........
modern kayak
but if you're going to have one big prefab with everything inside it, why not just have everything exist from the start?
sinful moss
You're not understanding, it's okay though. There needs to be more than one of the initial container. due to the extreme complexity of each, having more than is necessary has a significant negative impact on performance. On top of it being a needed gameplay mechanic I was hoping to find an easy way to allow players to manage those numbers themselves.
rain shadow
@sinful moss If all you need is to have spawned objects keep their references to objects already in the scene you should look into the propspawner v2 setup
modern kayak
propspawner uses dynamic prefabs that I mentioned. But it's not just spawning objects on command, it specifically spawns one object per player in the world. You can modify it to not do that, though. But at that point you're throwing away 90% of it
it's in the database, which is at vrcprefabs.com/browse
rain shadow
But from what you've said using spawned objects for what you're trying to do seems unnecessary
sinful moss
Looking it over, i don't think it will do the trick. I'll think of something, i always do.
Thanks for trying guys, sorry every request i have is a head scratcher and often asked without full context.
modern kayak
It really comes down to how spawning is a pain in the ass and if you can avoid it you should
sinful moss
found a way around it by using a triggered follow script
easy mode
sleep well guys
supple tinsel
does disabling culling masks don't work anymore?
I already disabled what I need to do but I can still see it
I already put the camera onto the reference camera aswell
modern kayak
you can change culling masks of cameras that you put into the world, but you can't change the vrchat player camera
supple tinsel
actually it kinda does but as long you don't know that you can still see the map form above the world
onyx kindle
is there anyway to hide something from the players eye but its seeable in a mirror?
like something to do with layers
modern kayak
yes, put it on mirrorreflection layer
that layer is special in that it doesn't show up in the player's view

Anyone knows how to add abunch of songs without exceeding the 50mb limit? (trying to make my world quest compatible)
buoyant hollow
set the compression settings way down, set it to mp3 and streaming so you don't kill memory.
sacred warren
You mean Vorbis? Don't use MP3, it's inferior and not even one of the options when building for PC.
buoyant hollow
use vorbis on pc, mp3 on quest.
quest has to use software to decode vorbis, but can do it using hardware on mp3. Yes its sound quality inferior, but its cpu overhead is a lot less than mp3.
fallow turtle
had 12+ ppl in a lobby and the fps was on the lower side(~40 or a bit lower(in vr)) the avatar maybe weren't the most optimized but still, not that many people.
i have baked lights , oclusion cul., textures are compressed( the world is 20mb) i have buttons to disable some stuff also set camera view distance a bit lower so that you couldnt see some places from another(does it work with oclusion?)
is it bad that the world is flat with no closed areas so you can kinda see everything mostly
does the object merge/mesh bake thing helps with fps?
near escarp
Can you show the settings of your baked lights in your scene
fallow turtle
this?
near escarp
no your actual lights
fallow turtle
short gulch
I thought color temperature mode didn't work?
near escarp
@fallow turtle if you upload them enabled them they'' count as realtime
you need to disable them after they're baked
fallow turtle
the culling masks?
near escarp
no, the light
fallow turtle
like disable the object?
near escarp
yes

@normal fossil Check the pinned items, there's an inverted sphere prefab, use that for the skybox in your world and toggle/rotate if you need

so im having the problum where it load loops then puts me here

Make sure you have a collider under your spawn
inner kernel
When the video stream scripts looks for a video, how does it determine what is the video?
latent glacier
i do it wont load the world
modern kayak
check if your console in unity has any errors
latent glacier
o it had tow sceens that was causing a bug
gaunt pier
My object are fall under the terrain and other objects. I want to grab it and fall it down after grab lost.
modern kayak
don't use a mesh collider for dynamic objects
gaunt pier
i have now see its not falling its invisble
modern kayak
use boxes, spheres, and capsules. You can put multiple primitive colliders as children of the rigidbody in order to roughly approximate the shape of the object
gaunt pier
only visit when i activate isKinematic
split magnet
i did something and now the icons in my asset folder are super small... how can i change it back so the icons and texture preview images are nice and big again?
