@steel hatch probably need to add a mesh collider
steel hatch
yea i added that to all the things
red fable
How about the floor
steel hatch
yea
red fable
How about your spawn location? It's above the floor?
steel hatch
yea (i checked it a bunch of times and repositioned it in lots of different places)
red fable
Can you send a picture of the settings of your object? VRCWorld, the floor, and the house
steel hatch
the house is a bunch of different objects
but they all have mesh colliders/renderers
red fable
Hmm, not seeing anything overtly wrong..
steel hatch
i can see everything in scene and game mode, but when i actually play it in VRChat, its all just a void
red fable
Invisible?
steel hatch
theres nothing im walking on, im just falling and respawning
mild spade
If you are using a cube there is no reason to have mesh collider. Set it to "Convex" or add a box collider instead. Try setting your spawn point just a little above the floor. Maybe you are spawning inside the floor so you fall through.

Question on my first world building attempt. I'm currently stuck on step 3 "Descriptor settings" or step 4 "Setting up the Scene" using https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-your-first-world as step 3, I don't see these in the inspection panel. (Reference Camera, Respawn Height -Y, Update Time in MS) & step 4, I don't see any of those options either.
These prefab is an old fbx I started to learn to build a VR game in Altspace years ago.
When I build it locally, I can only rotate my camera up & down and no movement.
chilly grove
Update Time in MS was removed from the SDK a while back so you can ignore that one
The layers can be set up by going to the Builder tab in the VRChat SDK panel, where it should give you an option to set up the default layers
grizzled violet
I don't see layers in VRChat builder either.
grizzled violet
I'm trying to publish it only to see if navigation is local issue.
I uploaded it into a private world onVRChat and only up.down camera rotation as well.
random owl
You have your respawn height set to 0.1 meaning the game is constantly respawning you stopping you from moving properly
grizzled violet
Oh, I thought that was above 0 reference. I set it to .1 to spawn above to prevent spawning below the floor... I'll change that to 2 and see if I fall abit and move.
random owl
If you set it two it will be even more above the where you are standing causing the issue again it needs to be below the world so negative value depending on how deep your world is
grizzled violet
A negative Y for spawn won't make me fall? Ok, trying -2.
random owl
What I mean is the respawn height y value in your scene descriptor.
reef sparrow
@grizzled violet Just to clarify "respawn height" is not the height the object is respawned at, but the height below which an object is forced to respawn if below
grizzled violet
Ok, thanks for the help. However, respawn height wasn't the issue as much as I missed an instruction in Step 1, "Place the VRCWorld prefab in the scene". After doing that and deleting the VRC_SceneDescriptor & spawn point I created, everything worked. Now that I have a working idea, I'll going to make a blank world template (with a instruction text file) so I don't have to go through all that.

you can report worlds but only after you reach a certain rank iirc lol
if i recall correctly @bold ibex there should be a report world button in your quick menu or in the world's details page (or whatever it's called)

Can also do #moderation-reports if it's tos breaking stuff
frank kayak
that is also true

i think it very serious instead just hitting a report button...
someone forced teleport me to the other world (dark world) can't do anything besides restarting the VRchat

I added a water plane (actually, it's a cube), but for some reason it's invisible, except at the very edge (if you put the camera at the intersection, you can barely see it)
Any ideas why it's invisible everywhere else?
I made a separate project to do the terrain. The water looks perfectly fine in there, not invisible. But after importing, it doesn't look right
My test water object does the same thing
latent cape
Hi. I'm making my first world at the moment. I've added two planes and now everytime I try to build and test, I get stuck in a loading loop for loading the world. How do I fix this?
hearty tartan

@latent cape Servers are down right now, just bad timing.
@hearty tartan Are they? Seriously?
hearty tartan
Yup. Check #vrchat-general-1 , everyone’s freaking tf out
I was sleeping actually and the sound of the menu over and over again woke me up
hearty tartan
lol yea
latent cape
What horrible timing >_< I was just getting started on my world and wanted to see if I made my plane too big...
red fable
Yeah, I was testing just now and I couldn't even test my world
hearty tartan
Damn, that’s really bad timing
hearty tartan
AHAHA oh god I’m saving this
latent cape
;_; I'm just upset that it happened JUST as I was editing a world.
Sweet. Now i know that my plane is too big.
red fable
Anybody know how to do water ? I tried it, but it seems the shader only shows up in deferred rendering. So I changed my camera to deferred, but it still refuses to show up in VRChat. The craziest thing is, this is a water shader that was made FOR vrchat
bleak moat
is it silent's ||(spelling?)|| water shader? I remember this one working really well so unless an update broke it I'd recommend that one...
bleak moat
Your scene has a directional light right?
red fable
Yeah
bleak moat
Oh if it's supposed to distort underwater stuff then it's normal (i guess?)
red fable
I think something is wrong with my project settings
I don't see the preview for silent's either
bleak moat
cause to distort what's under the water you need to render it first so 2 renders, that's why it needs deferred rendering
uh?
bleak moat
ok well that's probably something with your projects settings
red fable
Yeah, I can't figure out what it could be...
red fable
Switching the camera to deferred rendering makes it show, but when I build it , it wont' show in-game
Right here
random owl
Just changing the camera to deferred won't change vrchat from running in forward rendering
red fable
(you can see the water because I changed it to deferred, but the problem is still here)
The thing is, this is a shader meant for VRChat, so I shouldn't have to change the rendering setting
Surely the shader supports whatever rendering mode VRChat works
random owl
I've tested red_sims water without any problems
Can't really spot any problems from just those pictures
red fable
Yeah. There should be nothing wrong with the shaders, so, I really can't figure out what setting could cause this
random owl
Do you have a reflection probe setup?
random owl
Silent's water atleast needs a reflection probe to work properly
red fable
Even then, it shows up perfectly fine in deferred. So it seems to be another issue.
random owl
I mean deferred vs forward works completely differently on how things render out
I would just start by setting the camera back to forward to be in line with vrchat and adding a baked reflection probe
I'm about to sleep though so I don't have more time to debug, hope you figure what exactly is causing it not to work
red fable
Thanks for trying 🙂
It didn't show up in the same way even in a new project, not until it was deferred. So I'm really curious what's going on
tawny ermine
hey, i want to trigger between two animation states for the same object using a button.
i have an 'off' and two other animation states.
i have set up a vrc_trigger to trigger the animation transitions.
this doesnt seem to work.
these animations all work if i set them to the default state but not when i use the button
have i missed something important? the trigger activates the transition to 'spiderweb'
red fable
Did you set up the parameters?
tawny ermine
ah havent touched any parameters. you mean for the animation state?
ornate turret
yeah rexx is right

tawny ermine
ive set one up and testing, thank you
open thicket
@red fable two major things
Yes you do need reflection probes to make the water look good
And you also need a depth buffer for the water to appear in forward
red fable
Hmm. I have the depth buffer setup ..
open thicket
Deferred is not the camera rendering mode supported by Vrchat
red fable
It must not be set up properly..
open thicket
Make sure the buffer is .001 intensity
Hard shadows
Low quality
Ignore raycasts layers only
Also on the surface water
Click on the object
Look in the inspector and disable dynamic occluding in the mesh renderer
Sometimes it bugs out the view
red fable
Thanks for the detailed description. I'll test this out right away 🙂
open thicket
No worries
Also sometimes weird things can happen when entering play mode with static batching on
red fable
Does it matter where the z-buffer is placed?
open thicket
No
It’s a directional light meant to only make the water appear with the depth buffer

I'm following a relatively old/previous SDK tutorial. I'm looking for VRC_Trigger in SDK3? Just trying to have a mirror button that turns On and Off.
latent cape
So what do I do? ._.
red fable
Head over to the #657394610913411084 channel
red fable
There's a VRC example Udon script you can use
Check in the examples folder
But you will have to ultimately learn Udon
latent cape
Fuck.
red fable
Or you can use SDK2
latent cape
Will I have to replace anything? So far I only have VRCWorld and Spawn.
open thicket
Just delete your SDK/meta files off your scene and reimport SDK2
Spawn and scene descriptor are relatively easy to replace so you’ll be good
latent cape
Just worried about if the SDK will become outdated once Udon is fully implemented.
open thicket
No you’ll be good
It is fully implemented
There are just two different systems now
latent cape
Okay. All good, then! 🙂
open thicket
🤘
red fable
I just want to note that the docs say you should use SDK3 if you're making a new world
latent cape
I am making a new world ._.
red fable
SDK2 if you are maintaining a world or creating avatars
Since SDK3 doesn't support avatars yet, you have to use SDK2 for that
latent cape
Should I still keep using SDK2? Will that become outdated once Udon is fully implemented?
red fable
Based off what the docs say, I can surmise it probably will (maybe they'll even stop new uploads?), but SDK2 will probably continue being supported for a a bit since there are so many SDK2 worlds
latent cape
Alright. I guess for now I'll use SDK2.
open thicket
You don’t need to upgrade to SDK3 if you don’t want to
open thicket
The push for udon is for C# scripting and people who are capable of utilizing that workflow that peel back layers before trigger systems
red fable
This is probably what you want to see
So, it'll still get security and maintenance patches
open thicket
The suggestion for SDK3 is mainly to improve overall content creation and up the scaling for more innovative worlds
latent cape
Ah. Well I ain't doing anything too innovative, really. Just a basic world.
open thicket
Yeah you’re fine with SDK2
An udon requirement conversion from SDK2 worlds all around vrchat would undoubtedly cause many people to quit and be angry
red fable
True that, it would break many worlds and be a headache.
So I expect it to stay supported, at least with maintenance
open thicket
Udon is an extremely powerful system but isn’t a requirement for basic world building.
However if you’d like to learn more about it definitely check out the #657394610913411084 channel and watch some tutorials by Vowgan or other notable creators
latent cape
Hm. This VRC_Trigger script in the video I'm using has different buttons to the VRC_Trigger I'm looking at.
red fable
Definitely. Actually, somebody is hosting a Youtube class this Wednesday
All about beginners and Udon
If you're interested, check it out

Because I'm trying to have the VRC_trigger as a button that "On Interact" turns on the mirror or turns the mirror off...

Is that through Add Component?
open thicket
Just .001

For a basic mirror toggle create a gameobject with any sort of collider and add an on interact function
@open thicket I've put in a VRC_Trigger but there's no way I can set it to "On Interact" there's nothing that lets me change that.

Screenshot
You add the vrc_teigger and under it should be something you can use to change it to oninteract function
@red fable you’ve set your intensity to .0001
modern kayak
@latent cape send a picture of what your vrc trigger looks like
latent cape
red fable
Just .001
My bad, I changed it to this just now and rebaked, but still same thing -_-
open thicket
You might have some things with SDK3 still
modern kayak
yeah something broke. Did you close unity, delete the SDK, udon, and meta files, and then relaunch unity?
you need to follow that process for a clean install
open thicket
So make sure you completely delete all files associated with SDK or Vrchat
@red fable have you set reflection probes properly
Make sure that the probe touches the water
modern kayak
anything to do with vrchat, vrcsdk, and udon
open thicket
Only SDK and your udon files
VRCSDK Meta files too
A good trick is to go to the search bar and search up SDK or VRC
Sometimes there are some files that hide in weird folders
latent cape
I deleted the ones there that had VRC or SDK in them.
open thicket
Make sure the meta files too
latent cape
Nope still didn't work probably didn't delete enough
modern kayak
that was quick, did you close unity before deleting?
latent cape
Yes
tawny ermine
@red fable @ornate turret thanks, my animations are working now. appreciate the help
modern kayak
and you reimported vrcsdk2?
latent cape
Yes
red fable
have you set reflection probes properly
I have the reflection probe registered with the water surface yes
modern kayak
usually it takes a couple minutes to import
ornate turret
Muzz, good to see its working, I just echoed what Rexx advised 😛
latent cape
I know, it still didn't work.
modern kayak
do you have any errors in your console? Clear it and see if anything red still sticks around
latent cape
But this was all in the Assets folder. I'm guessing there's more?
open thicket
@red fable PM me screenshots of your water
Inspector
Lighting tab
And possibly occlusion
@latent cape if you haven’t started your world yet really you can just start a new project with no other VRC data
latent cape
...
I have stuff built.
Well, foundations, really.
Is there a way I can copy those 3D Objects over?
modern kayak
if you right click the scene and export package, you can then just import that package into a new project
open thicket
Just unclick VRC folder in the export options
modern kayak
when exporting, you can deselect vrcsdk
latent cape
Okay.
When I export, it just has the scenes so I guess that should be fine.
Yup! Got it! Thanks gents!
open thicket
Happy building

Is there a tutorial for how to make a waterfall / moving water?
near escarp
@red fable that's usually just a scrolling texture
open thicket
that plus good UVs
UVs set up properly on a mesh shaped like a waterfall
then a water shader should work
a tree like this with good UV's ensure the water shader wraps around it perfectly
then you set the water to scroll down a certain axis
red fable
Anyone know of any underwater shaders?
reef sparrow
@reef sparrow there’s an option in the station where you can put a custom override animator

Yo. So staircases; guessing it's just 3d objects in a stair-like fashion that aren't too tall? Has anyone made prefabs for staircases or something? Just curious.

Besides that you can also fake it with post processing volumes affecting DOF slightly and bluish tinge
But I like red sims option because you don’t have to do any weird stuff when it comes to lightbaking
@latent cape very easy to create through blender but there are many assets you can find in the unity store or 3D asset libraries online like sketchfab and Free3D

blender would certainly help in making things symmetrical but i usually just try to make everything in unity nice numbers that i can add, subtract and mirror easily. like just duplicating a wall and setting its x position to be negative of the other

I'll probably have to go back through and fix everything so it's all symmetrical >_< But for today, I think I've done enough.

yeah take your time, nothing worse than chuggin through a world too fast and getting burnt out on it
i wanted to ask, is there a point where its better to merge objects in a world than to just leave them unmerged if there are alot of them

It all depends on your occlusion
You want to merge everything that would get occluded at the same time
everything that can be batched/instanced shouldn't be merged either
past wave
ok
just trying to import a map where basically every piece of wall is a seperate object and thought that it might be a problem if i didnt merge them

turn off future proofing maybe
also if you're migrating worlds

Most likely that should only end up there if you imported sdk2 and sdk3 at different points

I've had the field sometimes not save properly but it's also possible you managed to import both sdks on top of each other 🤔

What's up folks. I'm new to the VRChat commuity. But I've been around for a while. I created the Northern Springs Mod for Fallout 4.
I've been working on my first VRChat project since last week.

Here's the progress so far. It's just a small cabin in the woods. But hopefully a start, to more in the near future.

?upload @jovial arch But in case of worlds you would need User rank, the one above New User in order to publish your world to Community Labs.
odd roverBOT
You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.
As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

Likely your build is failing
Go to your temp cache, delete the DefaultCompany folder (that's where the build cached world is), then build again. Likely it will load into the default VRChat room (because it didn't find your world now)
If that happens, you will know your build is failing, if not, your build isn't failing
If that's the case, it's because you either have:
- An error which is causing the build to fail.
- Scripts which are messing with VRChat
if 2, then find what script is conflicting and remove it from the project.
if 1, find out what's causing the error and fix it

hearty hamlet
I'm just getting started with vrchat and exploring features (my Unity chops are intermediate). I'm really interested in livestreaming performances into a world; I see that this is done with VRC_syncvideostream and VRC_videoscreen.
Here's the question- is it possible to add a greenscreen to the video feed so that the human performer on the screen appears embeded in the vr world?
Linked is an example of the type of effect I'm interested in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR1EZCKJAFk
bleak moat
@hearty hamlet you basically need a greenscreen-ish shader then?
I had done something like it in shadergraph but you'd need to adapt it for the default render pipeline
(linking relevant twitter post on how I did it, hope it's alright : https://twitter.com/Rells_Parker/status/1224438232743440386?s=20 )
You just need to have the video slightly darker than the background and it should work properly
That works for a basic rendertexture tho, you may have to tweak it to work with the VRC_syncvideostream and VRC_videoscreen components (haven't touched those yet)
hearty hamlet
@bleak moat Thanks that's helpful. There are tools in Unity for this, that's how I did the video I linked. But that was a long time ago and I don't remember it too well.

Is there a way to do something like this with sizing an object? Like have the size snap to a the next objects face or something?

Hello, can I know how to create an npc in the vrc world?
I have been searching for a long time and have not found the relevant tutorial.

@zealous lion Just add one. Use the VRC Interact script as a reference if you want to add dialogue or something. It's going to require you to do some coding yourself.
Think more along the lines of how you make an NPC in a game than VRChat and you might have better luck finding tutorials
left depot
Hi there peeps :)
I am wondering if anyone knows how to have the OnExitTrigger cancel if player enters the box collider shortly after another player leaves it?
For context, I have an object set to when a player enters the collider an animation triggers for a platform to move to the player, then when they leave the collider it moves back.
The main issue I am coming across is when a player leaves the collider the platform stays for about 2 seconds then triggers the return animation, but when another player enters the collider before the 2 seconds is over and another player already exit the collider the return animation still is triggered.
If anyone could give me a tip that would be greatly appreciated, I am mostly learning unity and the SDK on the fly as I am primarily an artist 😛

I have a very strangely behaving trigger. For some reason it works just fine for the instigator (the master) but on anyone else only the AnimationTrigger part works. The SetParticlePlaying and AudioTrigger actions do not work at all for anyone but the instigator, despite all being part of the same trigger. Anyone ever encountered this before?
The objects being triggered are not effected by any other triggers or animations, they are on by default not tampered with by anything else.
It's worth noting that I've tried switching it to AlwaysUnbuffered in case MasterUnbuffered was broken, but the results are the same.

How would one go about reflecting the global skybox onto water?
bleak moat
You can bake a reflection probe
If it's only for the actual skybox it should work, but other stuff might look weird if you move away from where the reflection probe is
red fable
I have a dynamic moving sky, but for some reason the reflection probe I've put on it isn't reflecting
The probe is set to realtime
My camera has clear flags skybox too

The reflective surface needs to be in range of the probe too
does the probe touch the water?
red fable
Yes it is

red fable
The water reflections are enabled in the shader

I would think it should be reflecting by now

Perhaps this specific variant wasn't meant for that purpose
Hmm, still not quite right lol

junior glacier
Anyone able to help with this weird bug I'm hitting in Unity?
I've set the target object, but when I go into Play mode, or test/build the map, the target changes, and I've no idea why.
https://gyazo.com/1e53dc29eae8981a8d15be87a48d14f0
dark sleet
Hard to tell without code snippet. It seems like the target is settable from the outside.
Maybe you have a comparison check somewhere and wrote "=" instead of "==" somewhere?
junior glacier
I've no idea, it's never done this before and works just fine in my other project.
Standard Assets still work in VRC, so that's all that script is.
dark sleet
Btw, how can you use regular C# scripts with the VRC SDK? I have to use U# and udon is very crippling in function coverage
dark sleet
You have "Auto Target PLayer" enabled. Perhaps the "Car" is considered the player?
junior glacier
It is in fact so, I unchecked it and it's no longer resetting the target.
Annoying, since I wanted the turret to target the player, but I might just have to use the PlayerHandle system instead >_>
I pulled this asset over from another project and it didn't do that, so that's weird. Didn't think anything about it.
dark sleet
There may be more than one player anyway~ and in the case of turrets, if the projectile moves over time, you have to aim ahead anyway
junior glacier
It doesn't really matter if there was more than one player, as it's going to be local anyway, and there is only going to be 1 person in the room where this little doodad is going to be contained.
I feel a bit silly, but thank you ^^
dark sleet
Best of luck with your project~ 🙂
tidal jackal
best not to use the auto target player part of that script anyway since it isn't guaranteed that it will target the local player, it can target any player in the world
if you need do to more flexibility than the playertracking ui canvas system will allow you can always use autocam in conjunction with it
just put the target under the playertracking object

wanton mural
Is it possible to make a self-contained world that has views of different cities? For example, you go into one room and the windows show outside that it's NYC, and then go into another room and the outside is Tokyo, etc?
red fable
You could use a reflection probe to capture an image of a city model from the windows point of view, then use a shader to apply it to the window
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLqi5b26DDA
See this for how to do it
While this is about a fake interior, there's no reason why you couldn't do it for a fake exterior
Bonus: Since it's only an image, you don't need to load any actual city model into your map, so you can save some FPS
@wanton mural

ok so apperently that error was caused by the trees somehow

Anyone know anything about scripting and switching skyboxes with two local buttons (to switch from night and day)?
Or am I going to have to continue waiting in #world-lighting for a response? I've been waiting for almost a month to get the help I need.
I keep being told to put a script in a GameObject (yet the script to do it keeps changing). But do I put both Directional Lights inside of it?
bleak moat
@tidal marsh You need a script with 2 gameobjects (your lights) that switches on/off from one to the other.
HOWEVER this means using realtime lights which can and will be performance intensive. You should rather just make 2 maps.

Well the lighting doesn't use shadows
It uses Baked Indirect lighting.
And what do you mean by "make 2 maps"?

Every time I try to adjust the side handles on this Text Mesh Pro object, the square scales up to be super wide, instantly. If I try to move the top and bottom handles it works fine. Any ideas what's going on?
red fable
Click the rectangle tool
neat badger
I should also mention that adjusting the handles doesn't affect the Height parameter on the right, but adjusting the Height parameter changes the location of the handles. Why is that?
Okay I did that... But I seem to have messed something up because the rectangle that appears does not match up with the yellow rectangle:
Also, what is the rect tool, and why I am I using that and not the handles on the yellow rect, and why are there handles on the yellow rect if I'm not supposed to use them? What are they for?
One other issue...
The text is rendering through the floor. Surely there's a way for it to be blocked by world geometry?
neat badger
Using the TextMesh Pro/mobile/distance field (surface) shader seems to do the job, though at the cost of the text no longer being fullbright, but instead lit by the world lighting. Which I suppose is okay in many cases, but having unlit text that doesn't render through the floor would still be desirable.

@carmine rune Hello! I just wanna say that your jet world is amazing and fun. I couldn't stop myself from going into your world at least once whenever I hop into VRC. Now I'm not an aircraft enthusiast nor am I an expert, but I do love jets ever since I was a kid simply because they're cool and majestic. Couple years back in the good old days of VRC I always thought it would be cool to fly jets especially in VRC and it looks like my dream came true. I was really hyped when I came across your world and it's also thanks to Sacchan. I love flying through the gorge and the cool HUD with the 1.16 update and I will always be looking forward to your future updates. It would be nice if there were clouds to fly above and I'm not sure if you do plan to add in different aircrafts but if you do, I would be really excited to fly them. Of course, these are just my personal opinions so no need to feel the rush or pressure. Do take your time and do whatever you plan to do, it is your world after all! Have a really nice day! :D

Compress textures. That usually turns out to be the main culprit.
spare field
highlight your textures in your assets, go to inspection and you can compress them

My world is huge too. It's over 300mb, so I'll be doing some optimizing as well.
Inspector\ change the dimensions to a lower number.
jovial arch
1024/1024: 512/512

and use crunch compressor iirc

do i have to go into the prefab or the texture to do that?
jovial arch

highlight the texture in your assets
tidal axle
ah ok

you can do multiple at once if you shift
tidal axle
btw im very new to unity so i dont know much yet

I still recommend leaving some really detailed ones higher. A good mesh can be blurred out pretty good if done wrong.
I learned that the hard way 😫 💩
tidal axle
im not seeing the resolution of the texture anywhere
spare field
in inspection when you select the texture
tidal axle
wait are textures and materials different?
jovial arch
Yes.
tidal axle
ah thats why
jovial arch
Materials are made from textures as prefabs are made from meshes and other things.
tidal axle
so i gotta find the texture that was used to make the material?
i found it :3 thanks ^~^

tidal axle
so its the max size i change right?
jovial arch
I think that's right. Then hit apply.
tidal axle
no wonder the file was so big, some of the smaller assets were on 2048
jovial arch
Yeah that's huge.
Don't apply to all of them though. See which ones work well, and which ones blur out too much.
tidal axle
yeah i think ill do most of the small assets like that and leave the bigger ones, like my tank and the hanger, a bit higher
spare field
play around with the crunch compressor too
tidal axle
ok

you probably noticed by now, but when you see the texture preview after you highlight it, you can see the size of the texture on the bottom of the preview
tidal axle
yeah eventully i need to learn to make my own assets, but for now ill just be using stuff form the unity store

it'll only test the build from before you imported it

there is no build progress bar
The reason your world is so big is because it's using a cached version
It's not actually building

The reason it's not building is because you have an error in your project

Also, I was wondering if there are any disadvantages with going with Udon (UdonSharp specifically) from the get go? Nvm, just saw it's in alpha. Though I guess it might still be ok to only use Udon moving forward? My impression was Udon is the new "proper" way once it's more stable?

That would be much easier and is less costly
rain heart
Some times it need to be project on to a complex geometric so that won't works
open thicket
Hmm for the ones that aren’t complex I would suggest that maybe
mortal plover
It won’t let me put mesh filter
open thicket
@mortal plover what you can do is make a box collider game object
Fit it to the guitar as a child object
Then you’ll have a dummy collider
A more complex way if you know how to do it is also look at the texture itself on object @rain heart and edit the texture in photoshop
Make guesswork of where the UV map is laid out
I just think decal projectors on gameobjects can be more CPU intensive than texture files themselves
mortal plover
But how do I make it show in game
open thicket
Oh the meshes aren’t showing in your world?
I see @mortal plover
Take a pic of your inspector clicking on those objects
Also if you have occlusion culling setup take a pic of those settings too
Sometimes the meshes you also choose might not be in the best format either. Hopefully those meshes are in .fbx format. Things like .blend and .max files work but would much better be in fbx format

I'm having trouble loading into my world, its my first time building so I don't know what to do. I published my world but everytime I start loading into it I get a black screen and it sends me to the main hub? I can load into all other worlds just fine
open thicket
@mortal plover try convex
@civic jay likely you’re spawning into a collider or there’s no collider to place your avatar in
Make sure to scene descriptor is placed on top of your ground
And also make sure there’s not random colliders or terrain preventing you from spawning in
civic jay
I have 3 spawn points which are just empty game objects, they're all away from anything with a collider, and above the ground
mortal plover
When I tested it it didn’t show like the objects aren’t there @open thicket
open thicket
Can you click on the mesh in the mesh filter and look at the actual mesh in the inspector?
Also if they are on the mirror reflection layer they disappear
Make sure they’re on the default layer
@civic jay select all the objects in the scene and look at where the colliders are placed, you could possibly have one set as convex
Also helps to look at the console log and see if you’re getting any weird red errors
civic jay
Nah, not getting any errors
civic jay
Yes
open thicket
Did you define all of them in your scene descriptor?
civic jay
Mhm
open thicket
Try out 1 for now and see if it works
Troubleshoot each individual one and see if there’s a problematic point

Currently trying to upload a world and for some reason my windzone is not making it through the build process.
My windzone and everything works perfectly fine in unity, but when testing the world it does not for some reason.
I am usuing the SDK3 and build the world with gaia in case that matters.
Anyone knows what the issue could be?
(no console output or anything)
civic jay
@open thicket Thank you so much ❤️ finally got it working! I'm such a fucking noob at unity 😂
civic jay
Something with the spawn points, all I did was delete them all and use the VRCWorld as the spawnpoint
rain heart
A more complex way if you know how to do it is also look at the texture itself on object @rain heart and edit the texture in photoshop
@open thicket Textures were reused across different objects so I can't do that

i can not upload my world as i play on quest meaning i dont have any hours on pc vrchat. Is there any chance someone could upload it for me 🙂
open thicket
Ah it was atlased, I still recommend using planes for simple meshes
But complex, maybe find a proper projector which you can cull the player layers

I'm trying to port my world to quest, and I'm getting double vision -- google says it's unsupported shaders. i do have a shader warning -- but I can't find the shader anywhere in my scene! is there an easy way to do this? i went through and turned all objects off, still can't find it
past wave
change the build settings to pc and then back to android via unitys built in switcher, if i were to have a guess im assuming you used the switcher thats in the sdk menu
fluid idol
ahhhh yes, I did. thank you very much!
past wave
yeah somethings a little buggy about it

Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows of any quest compatible pen kits that work with the most recent version
The new vrchat home has working pens but no idea how to get them in my current world

Hey all. Is there a blackjack, poker, etc world?

Hey guys, could any of you recommend some tutorials for world creation? I'd like to start learning the basics.
Oh hey J xD... Didn't realize that was you who just posted. Had to take a double take.
jovial arch
Lol. Hey Flinchy. Yeah I'm here too.
For World Creation this should be able to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO-P2OqO1ac

Sweet! Thank you so much. It'll take me some time to get started, but i'll walk through this one and give it a shot!

Hey, does someone have a world idea ? (Ping me)

does anyone know how to make this shader (fake glass) look less dark and green?

Any know who’s a good tutorial for world building? I’d like to make a home for myself to load into
dusty spruce
So I'm trying to update my world, but every time I load into it, VRChat tries to redownload the world, and then kicks me back to my home. Anyone know why?
high arrow
@turbid estuary scroll up a bit, one was just posted for me
turbid estuary
Okay thanks
high arrow
If you have any luck with it let me know, I'm trying to learn too lol
turbid estuary
Ok will do

@dusty spruce check out your C:\Users\ Windows username \AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat folder. it has output_log .txt files that tell you what happened the last few times your VRchat was started.
it usually tells you if something breaks a map or VRchat in general for you. I've used that to good effect often when a buggy avatar or world causes VRchat to crash entirely
open thicket
Most of the issues that kick people out of worlds is either insanely unoptimized performance or
MOST likely to be a collider issue at spawn
dusty spruce
Hmm
open thicket
Wherever you’re spawning in can be inside a collider
Outside of bounds of your map
You could also have started your map creation way outside the origin of 0,0,0
But look at spawn first
And where you’re placing it
And whether or not you can even stand inside of it
dusty spruce
Not really, it's still at 0, 0, 0. The spawn point is a bit higher but not really that far.
open thicket
Spawn should be above the ground good, and not that much higher
But also check the ground of the world
To see if you’re not spawning inside some sort of collider
Sometimes you can have meshes with colliders that are set to convex
Any scripts that aren’t whitelisted by vrchat should be deleted
dusty spruce
Doesn't look like there are any colliders in the way.
dusty spruce
A couple, but they're only errors caused from the sdk. Like saying something wasn't initialized in time.
open thicket
But nothing other than that?
dusty spruce
Not really, no.
open thicket
I’ve also had other things in my scene like standard assets or simple lightprobes placer cause issues with builds
Well I’m my projects folder
dusty spruce
I don't use light probes.
open thicket
SDK2 or SDK3?
dusty spruce
SDK2.
open thicket
Look at scripting runtime version as well
But maybe try changing the spawn point
For now maybe put a spawn area above your map area
And then put a plane under you
dusty spruce
It's worked before though. At it's current spawn point.
