I don't know how that works @solemn beacon but I can tell you, a lot of how I've managed to solve a lot of my small issues is by using the discord search and typing in Mirror and Toggle and zooming to where people have the same challenges. It actually works as good, if not better, then combing Google and Youtube!

Yeah actually I did that and didn't find anything 😄 but good call
nevermind, world and toggle keywords are giving me way better results than searching for world and button lol thank you

Anyone here know anything about why objects don't respawn once dropped off map? Please look at the video for context.

chilly tendon
whats the Y on your walking plane
odd rock
on the position? -0.64
chilly tendon
do you respawn if you jump off?
odd rock
yep
its in the terrain layer
should it be in the environment layer?
i am going to try putting it in the environment layer and see if that does anything
chilly tendon
you might try syncing the object in the world, i haven't really messed with pick ups and dropping them off the face of the earth
odd rock
syncing the object in the world? Where can I read up on this?
chilly tendon
um I think you can just add a udon behaviour script and check the synch and ownership boxes
and i think that takes it out of player instance
odd rock
oh just those, yeah I have been messing with those.
I'll continue playing around until something works...
odd rock
@chilly tendon You solved my riddle when it came to synchronization.. now what about clipping? Have a look at this video...
I might be able to solve my own riddle here... lots of weird colliders some how stacked outside of the prefab

What does "Ownership on Collision" mean exactly?
Sorry, "Allow Ownership Transfer on Collision".

how tf do i pause/ play an audio source with vrc triggers?
it's trivial with unity events but i can't see how it's done with vrc trigger
do i have to SendRPC with a particular custom method?
i'm googling and finding nothing
this seems really fucking basic
does vrc really not support this?
does it really want me to use an Audiobank just to pause the thing
it seems impossible to set audio volume too
which doesn't figure
i have this set-up in a world of mine
but it's a unity event so it wont be local
alright i am so confused
why are volume sliders local
when buttons aren't?

my friend created a private version of a world he just uploaded except when I press on the link it spawns only one instance of a public world and can't be set to home or have any new instances made
I need to know how he can make it private and have the ability to set it to home, and the most important create new instances because it is a werewolf world that needs to be reset between games

the ability to make a new instance I believe depends on a flag set when uploading the world. for public worlds, an individual private instance can be created by anyone

I'm about to lose my mind with how confusing or bad the audio in unity is. I have an audio source in the right building, I want it to play evenly inside that building, so I make it 2D audio with range. https://i.imgur.com/miQSv1b.png
However 2D audio plays globally and totally ignores any distance settings. https://i.imgur.com/kSqq2n8.png
If I set it to 3D audio, it then uses my min/max distance, but then the audio is no longer played evenly and has a central point. How do I achieve both?
silent vale
Define "evenly"
boreal stone
I want it to play in the right and left output evenly no matter where the player is inside the building, and only that building
silent vale
What settings do you have on the VRC audio component?
boreal stone
I only have an audio source component with these https://i.imgur.com/GBqZYbH.png
silent vale
Well VRChat requires a spatial audio component as well
fierce jackal
have a quick prefab if you want to try it, its 2d audio rolloff is -100% instant you go outside the range , its same volume all over the place https://i.gyazo.com/2aa67754378523223602f3dd4fec281c.png
boreal stone
oh my god finally, thank you both

I see

if your world is udon you could also make a trigger in the mirror reflection layer that plays it as 2d audio when inside and turns the source off when you exit that trigger area

glacial pond
Unity isn’t a 3D modeling program. You can design your worlds in any 3D modeler you want. But ultimately you need to bring it into the Unity game engine to set up game logic and interactions as VRChat is a unity game, not an Unreal game
thorn scaffold
What does this mean?
silent vale
Audio sources need the VRC spatial audio component added to them
Even if you decide to have the audio be 2D
thorn scaffold
How do I add the component?
silent vale
For one, you could click Auto Fix and it does that for you
Otherwise, every game object has a "Add component" button
Click on something, inspector on the right will show "Add component" at the bottom
thorn scaffold
Why does this always show when I try to drag the script to the source?
silent vale
Please follow my instructions the way I am giving them
Dragging scripts directly into it is not clicking the "Add Component" button in the inspector window
thorn scaffold
Thank you I have my problem solved..

Hello everyone! I’m a bit new to map making and I’ve run into an issue that I can’t seem to resolve. Whenever I try to make mirror triggers or try to implement a video player I get two errors.

@random owl The errors don’t allow me to upload the world. Is there a fix?
random owl
Do you have error pause on in your console?
proper cosmos
Next to "clear on play"? I see it. What does that do?
random owl
It pauses when an error happens which will interrupt the build process and stop you from uploading
odd rock
his test button might be greyed out if he has any conflicts. He has to greenlight all the checks before he can do his test build yeah?

That's another thing, depends on why he can't upload

I can test build the world, all the triggers work in the test, and I've uploaded the world. But when I try to load in game it kicks me out.
odd rock
oh.
random owl
You can check your logs to see why that happens there's a bunch of different reasons
proper cosmos
I assume it's because of the Red error's I mentioned getting earlier

Nope those wouldn't cause it they are normal to see

he might just be getting load issues.. are you baking your textures, using billboards and Occlusion? vrchat is pretty narly when it comes to how many polys you can fit on a screen

Also, is there a way to manipulate the audio mixer in SDK2?
pallid flicker
Click the green line in the graph (Spatial), then at the veeery end, move it all the way to the top of the graph. like : ________________/
If it's 2D audio, it's audible everywhere. You have to have it 2D for like 99% of the way, then at max distance have it move to 3D so it will stop playing past that point.

I'm using a slider in my world, and everything works. But (in vr) after I change the value of the slider if I put my thumbstick to the left or right it will move the slider (even if my raycast is not poiting at the slider)...
If I press with my raycast anywhere else on the canvas it stops doing this...
Does anyone know a solution? (I'm using udon)
balmy gate
@sacred blade set Navigation to None on the slider settings
Also good to leave a margin around the slider in the canvas so as you drag off one end or the other, unity recognizes that you hit the end

Quick question, I created a VR world, works fine when I build&test it locally within Unity. I now managed to upload the map, however I can't seem to enter it. Whenever I try to launch from the VRchat website, I get a loading screen trying to load 0bytes, and then it switches back to the default VRchat home.
Is this normal? Is it because I don't have a trusted status?
Map in question: https://vrchat.com/i/aria-letternose-4cdff
I know I can't put it on "public", but I can't even enter the map myself?

spring raptor
Quick stupid question: I've been working on worlds and have been avoiding mesh colliders and, thus, have had fairly boxy/angled worlds. I was doing this under the assumption that planes/cube coliders are more cost effective than mesh. Was I completely off base here? I'm hoping yes so I can make some more interesting shapes to my world
slow orbit
From best perf to worst
Primitive colliders (box, sphere, etc) - low-poly convex mesh colliders - low poly mesh colliders - high poly convex mesh colliders - high poly mesh colliders
spring raptor
Does it make a difference if we're talking about a static object (a room, couch, etc.) vs a physics object (things I can throw around)
I'm only providing examples for the sake of clarity because I know I could easily have the terminology wrong
slow orbit
Pretty sure static colliders perform better than dynamic.
spring raptor
Cool beans, sounds like best way to have my cake and eat it too is a low poly collider. I'll dig into the difference between convex so I understand the difference. Thanks Gallium!
slow orbit
The letter O is a convex shape, in that it has no partially enclosed areas, as compared to a shape like X which has areas that are partially enclosed. X's convex bounds are roughly square.
spring raptor
Okay, I get it now. Basically, if I had an "X" shaped object and put a convex mesh collider on it, it would effectively have a square collider around it. Is that right?
slow orbit
Pretty much, yeah
https://medium.com/@pascal.sommer.ch/a-gentle-introduction-to-the-convex-hull-problem-62dfcabee90c
This dives into the math & programming towards the end, but the first few paragraphs should give you an idea of what's going on.

That should be fine in terms of what I'm doing. Thanks again!

@near escarp Is there a loudness cap to the gain in the spatial audio component? I've got audio sources that are about 25 meters away, but I can barely hear it even if I set gain to something crazy like 200 dB
near escarp
Yes there is a cap, in which case they're brought down to a reasonable level
Can't have extremely loud noise or the compressor deals with it
reef sparrow
but i can't hear it. i've got nearby sources that are louder than it.
near escarp
then it's incorrect somewhere else
reef sparrow
can you at least tell me what the cap is on the gain parameter? So i can set it at that and then optimize the other settings
near escarp
it's total db of the audio source, not gain
reef sparrow
I'm sorry, we're talking about this right?
near escarp
No, it's in VRChat, the audio compressor is irrelevant, if audio is too high in dB it'll be reduced down to a safer threshold
60 gain is super high, which probably makes your sound way too loud, which is taken down to a much lower level
so fix your audio in the first place
reef sparrow
That's my problem, it's not loud
near escarp
then increase the gain in audacity
reef sparrow
It's already reasonably loud, only peak around -3 dB
But just so we're clear, does the component NOT cap the gain parameter?
The component itself, not the in-client compressor
Because if it doesn't, then there must be a bug: the sounds doesn't get louder even though other more close sounds are allowed to be louder post-compressor.
If it does cap, I'd like to know what that limit is.
near escarp
I don't know why the component would have a cap since dB is dependant on the original audio file, but I'll ask the engineer who made it

supple drift
@reef sparrow Avatar sources have a 10db boost max cap, but not worlds afaik. If your sound peaks at -3db, and you add >3db to the gain setting - you're already definitely passing the compressor threshold within near range (and it should pass it if you add 200db at most ranges 😅 )
What's the actual sound content? compressors will attenuate based off the peaks of the audio which doesn't necessarily = actual perceived loudness. I saw your sfx was called 'rumble' - I'm unsure of where the compressors are on VRC's chain but it could be possible that your sound is tripping it with signal in a low frequency range you can't hear or can't hear well
supple drift
@frigid estuary Common methods for faking audio occlusion like that are usually toggling a filter on an audio listener (which would filter everything you hear including any sounds in the space you're in - like an underwater effect) or animating lowpass filters on the actual audio sources themselves (which can work for rough occlusion w/ world audio, but won't filter voice sources). I don't think we know of a way to emulate proper audio occlusion or propagation between players : /

How do I begin a world with a mesh or a light deactivated to begin with? I have a toggle to turn it off/on, however if I turn it off in the scene via the inspector, my VRChat crashes after loading. This is my udon if that's the issue. It works fine otherwise

Well it's not really an udon question imo
the game crashes if the object begins disabled via the inspector, but I'll post there instead then
bold ibex
i'm guessing my problem is caused by buggy vrchat
since i was told if you have 2 triggers on the same game object, they'll trigger twice
I have a 'quest' (using an animator) to collect 7 dolls in my world - OnAvatarHit of each, it should disable the renderer and box collider for the doll, and increase the counter on my animator by 1
when the counter is greater than 6, it should unlock the reward
however, it is activating after collecting only 3 dolls
i only have the one trigger on the doll
is there a known bug that's interfering here?

@supple drift But do you agree the compressor shouldn't kick in if you are at a distance causing the sound to attenuate to -200 dB which is compensated with the 200 dB gain?

supple drift
@reef sparrow If the compressor is post-spatialization, that should be the case. Is that the scenario you're in? I'd be curious if driving it +200db and playing it far enough away for it to be reasonably loud would attenuate the original signal pre-gain or if it'd be attenuating that driven clipped/distorted signal tho. Dealing with gain structure in a subtractive way seems to be the safest bet in VRC, but then you have a comparatively quiet world until players turn their world volume up. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SDK2 question: How can I make a trigger on an object not conflict with a VRC_pickup script? (in this example, an object with a button is being hold. while being hold it should be switchable with the same hand.) I already got the trigger as a child object and the pickup as a parent object.
frigid estuary
"toggable", not sure if its the right word, I'm from germany x]
just a vrc trigger in a child object that can be toggled
it's already set up so the only question is how I can make it not conflict with the vrc pickup component in the parent object, which makes it able to be hold
technically the principle should be similar to a gun, but I never made one
near escarp
oh, that's easy, you just use OnPickupUseDown for the trigger and set toggle

its just an audio trigger, making play the audio source (child of the mouse object) being played back
it did work kinda with the OnInteract trigger type before, but only while the object wasnt grabbed
near escarp
You may need to do that through an animation event trigger then
it should work as is though, so i'm not sure why
frigid estuary
I also checked if it is a OnExitTrigger that would be blocking it but it is too far away to block any other triggers
Another example of the same issue but with the trigger as a child of the game object
Could it be a new VRchat bug? People holding the object for example with their right hand could still click or activate the trigger with the left one. That doesnt work anymore since the last VRchat update.

VRC SDK3, using a canvas UI, it seems that buttons with animations don't display animations? Works fine in the editor. But the slider with an animation works.
@solemn plover
From what I can see, I think that this might be part of Unity or VRChat SDK itself
@solemn plover I'd suggest removing and re-adding the VRC SDK maybe
If all else fails, you might have to rebuild your project, but it's possible some asset is also conflicting with something too and you just need to narrow it down
solemn plover
Right now it's not too much effort to start fresh. These projects that I'm working on are just scratchpad learning projects, so I'll just be more careful when importing assets and make sure I keep track of the errors better.
red fable
Yeah, just mainly be aware of scripts
When I import assets, 95% of the time script assets are no problem, but sometimes one of them is. You usually don't have to bother with it, but every now and then you will
So just try to remember what you imported or did last time, and you can usually track it down to which one caused it

can you help me out with adding this level map to vr chat? also will classic sonic be able to move in unity?
bleak moat
Look up the Vrchat implementation guides online. You'd be far better off knowing how it works and what is needed instead of just handing off some .fbx to someone asking they implement it. Again, you should build assets in Blender and then build the world in Unity. The file you gave -aside from missing textures and materials- has far too many lights, some that won'teven work in Unity. Also, not sure what you mean by classic sonic.
night geode
i started with learning to make worlds in vrchat yesterday. is there any places where i can get modules for the world like a sofa,Tv and such?
north parrot
The internet @night geode search 3d models
short gulch
@bold ibex If you mean "Will the player be able to move like classic sonic" then the answer to that is no. VRC uses a very basic character controller and unless a better, more advanced one is released it wouldnt be able to simulate the sonic-like physics accurately. Like Charlie said though, learn how to make your own worlds so you dont have to depend on others. It can be a little intimidating at first but it's not hard. Just make sure you use up to date tutorials for settimg up the world.
night geode
so there is not any specific website for this?
il just google 3d models and paste it into unity simple as that?
short gulch
Theres plenty of sites out there for this kinda thing. Just keep an eye out for if the models are free or paid. Most sites will let you filter the search to only show free models
night geode
is it illegal to give me the website for these sites?
short gulch
all the big ones will come up in google searches like Turbosquid, free3d, sketchfab etc. If you're looking for a tv model I'd just google "free tv 3d model".
night geode
ok, thanks. i spent like 4 hours yesterday just to find the correct version of unity that worked, so would rather not spend time to find non working files. but il try these sites your mentioned, thanks.
short gulch
Fbx and obj are your friend. If they offer the model as an fbx or obj format then go for that. Certain formats you may have to import to blender and then export as an fbx or obj. I dont know if unity recognizes .3ds format or not, but you would need 3DS Max to open that model.
night geode
ah ok, so i guess theres alot of painfull moments in front of me in making a proper world, oh well atleast something to do with the time.
But thanks for detailed info, it probably will make it easier 🙂

As long as you keep an eye out for the file formats then you'll be fine, hope the info helps :)

Hello! I have an issue that I would love some help with. Today I use “merge objects” in probuilder to try and optimize my map.

the images within the button are 'raycast targets' which the buttons considers to be the clickable area of the button, rather than the area defined by the width/ height/ scale of the button itself

Does anyone know of any good ways to make terrain?
Trying to figure out the workflow. I searched a lot but couldn't find any easy way / how to do it well

How detailed do you want the terrain to be?
If you want something really simple then Unity's built in terrain editor might be the easiest workflow if you don't want caves or any overhanging bits. If you want something more detailed then Blender might be the way to go.
bleak moat
Probuilder is also an option, just have to subdivide the surfaces a bit so it looks more organic
umbral cave
Do Blender FBX collisions work in Unity?
bleak moat
if you use a mesh collider I think they do
umbral cave
Otherwise i would rather Model an entire room in blender since im way more used to it than Probuilder

Probuilder's pretty easy tbh

Yes But i hate the scaling system

Are there certain like rules for building an good looking interior?
red fable
@short gulch I was looking into something called MapMagic, but I am unsure if that's VRChat compatible
From what I figure, you'd have to convert the terrain data to a mesh first. But in the end, in this plugin, it's the standard Unity terrain data you'd get with the terrain tool
short gulch
Yeah I just looked it up, if it only relies on editor scripts then you should be fine. Dont quote me on this but I think I remember hearing Editor scripts are fine but if they need to run ingame then it won't work.
red fable
Can you use terrain data without conversion?
Yeah I just looked it up, if it only relies on editor scripts then you should be fine. Dont quote me on this but I think I remember hearing Editor scripts are fine but if they need to run ingame then it won't work.
That should be correct yeah. You can have whatever editor scripts you want, just as long as it's not in-game
short gulch
Probably best to ask a dev to be sure though, that asset is pretty expesive and I'd hate for you to waste the money
red fable
YeH
That's why I'm asking around first lol
Plus maybe there's a better way to do it without the plugin at all
I've never done terrain before, so. I know I can use the default Unity terrain tool, but I'm not that confidant with modeling something good looking using actual brushes
I suppose in the end I may have to just do it that way
red fable
But even so, I'd like to know, how does everyone else make their terrain?
Maybe there's alternative options for me

@red fable Unity's terrain system supports importing of arbitrary height maps. It does require them as 16bit raw. With this you can use any other program to do the terrain, as long as it can export it to some kind of height map and then convert it to import into unity.
For example, I quite like Unreal Engine 4's landscape sculpting tools so I use that, export the heightmap as a 16bit png, convert to 16bit raw and import into unity.
I've also tried taking real-world topographical data and processed it so I could import into unity.
red fable
I just realized, even though really good Unity landscaping tools aren't in 2018, one could install the latest 2019 edition, then make everything there, and export it
red fable
Thanks for the tip on outputting to Unity, that increases the list of available software that can be used, as long as it can be exported to Unity
slow orbit
Photoshop can convert to the raw format that unity wants.
Or if you're not a fan of PS, grab Imagemagick (free & open source) and run this command on the image
convert -depth 16 input.png output.gray and rename the .gray file to .raw and off to unity it goes.

VRC_ObjectSync is only available in SDK2. SDK3 also has ObjectSync-- it is on the UdonBehavior component.
And yes, don't mix them. If you've already installed one, you'll need to start a new project. You could remove all the SDK3 components, remove SDK3+Udon, then install SDK2, but we don't support that method. It can break stuff.

People in my world tend to get a strange error where most world materials go black (not all though, but most of them), also the UI looks black almost black too, kinda half-transparent. it happens randomly and seems somehow having to do with the location people are in, I really cant retrace the origin of this weird behaviour. I'm using no special shaders, the world is relatively simple. It has animations on some objects but none would cause the actual menu and/or UI to go black, let alone make players and walls go black. It also uses baked lighting mostly and only up to 1-3 realtime light sources at a time. The problem appears randomly still, even after switching the direct light sources off.

Is there any way to debug why a world is crashing/lagging users at random times? I have 2 separate worlds that will be fine for minutes to hours but randomly about half the users will lose frames down to sub 10fps. One is SDK2 the other is SDK3. With small groups it tends to either take really long for it to occur or not manifest at all. It COULD be that the players are doing something in the world but the maps are not mechanically complex in any way. Wondering if there's a way to debug or track the source

For one at least lightweight render pipeline isn't the one used by VRChat and stuff meant for it will not work properly in game

Hey guys, idk if you can help me. But this is my first world, and I'm just trying to learn how to build a vrchat world (sdk3). I made a house and terrain with something called ProBuilder, but after doing some changes, all the objects from ProBuilder became invisible, they're still there in the hierarchy. But you can't see any texture or material. I've searched and tried multiple things for around 3 hours now, but can't find a solution, please help?
A thing I noticed is that the "Object size in the ProBuilder Mesh script is 0, 0, 0. So this defently means something is wrong, and I'm not able to change the values, they just go back to 0. And I tried in another project making just a cube, and it was 1, 1, 1, there. So yeah, I've got a problem

@red fable Thanks for the reply, how to I change collider type?
I also got these error messages

Add a new component, type in collider. You can select from many kinds. Mesh collider, box collider, etc
Although I don't think it will fix the problem for you this time, but it's worth trying

Right
You can easily re-add the mesh collider if it doesn't work
You can also try the convex option
Again, I'm pretty sure it won't work, but might as well try
sand orchid
yea doesn't seem like it changed anything

@sand orchid What's the scale of your other objects?

I tried dragging my current shader, and material on another object, and it works, so most likely it's a a problem with ProBuilder objects only

Ah

I belive 95% is 1, 1, 1

So it's the shader then

could be

If you strip the probuilder data, I wonder if it'll work
But word of warning, you can't undo that
So maybe try that with a test probuilder object with the bug
sand orchid
I tried to do something similar, Strip probuilder scripts, and then ProBuilderize, again to fix them, changed nothing
red fable
Not sure. The only thing I can come up with right now is, probably the shader
sand orchid
doesn't really make any sense though, I'm using the same shader and material on other objects, and they're working fine, but the ProBuilder objects, all of them are invisble, and it's doesn't seem to help that I change the shader or material
red fable
Don't suggest to try that on your live project. Use a backup
Could be nothing related, could be something
Also, check this

Again I've been to that link before, I searched google for 3 hours, 2 problems, 1. he's saying that when he presses run, they dissapear. But for me they're invisble both before and after I press run. Number 2, I can't find the Probuilder folder since, it's no longer an asset, it's included in the packages tab, and im not sure where they're saved. Again this "chat" that you send me is from 2015, when probuilder was an asset.

TLDR : Try a different probuilder version?
