Just make sure you dont add unsupported scripts when importing anything to the project. And if you do import something, test your world every time you add something. So you know if the asset added a unsupported script. Better sooner than later.

You cant use custom scripts via SDK2
@short forum Do you know sample link? I don't work my code using custom script.

The Start() function is usually a script function used in C# or Udon. Are you trying to use the VRC_Trigger component and activate once the world is loaded up?
nocturne crown
someone reported my world, no one can load into it so no reason they needed to report it ๐ฆ
trail jewel
@short forum Yes... similar.
I'm working on creating weapons in the world.
And when I grab my weapon and pull the trigger, I try to create a bullet-like effect.
Creating and firing a prefab with only effects was successful.
However, while creating 3 prefabs with a script and attaching a script that has a function of AddForce as a rigid body, the script does not execute the Start() function. This part was not solved, so I asked a question. SDK2 is being used.

short jacinth
Okay, this is a very weird and basic question but, how do you make an object have a use function? For example, what I'm trying to do is get a whip to make a whip crack noise that you can trigger while holding it.
mild spade
On the "pick up" script, you need to set up "autohold" to "YES" Then add a vrc trigger on the same object with "OnPickUpUseDown/up" as the trigger type
short jacinth
What event should I use to activate the Audio Source; SetComponentActive, SetGameObjectActive or another event? also thank you ๐
mild spade
there is many ways to make that possible. The easiest would be to have "AudioTrigger" action. On the audio source, unselect (uncheck) Play On Awake. So it only plays the audio when you use the trigger

Okay, thank you! ๐

Pose in blender, apply armature modifier, remove bones and shapekeys, export to unity, put model somewhere with mesh collider set as Is Trigger, and then copy over the components from an avatar pedestal prefab
or replace the quad in it with your mesh
and please don't overdo it with 3D pedestals, there's a reason it's images

Hello everyone, i finished this world a few days ago, and it did work for me and my friends pretty much every day.
For some reason, if you press the button that spawns the item it will spawn the item by the amount of people in the lobby.
First i though it might be a costum trigger issue. But then i realised that bar, where i can set "always, local etc" is gone.
if i delete this trigger script and make a new one the bar will appear again.
but it seems i have that problem not only on this map, i also have it on other maps.
The selection for the broadcast types on an existing costume triggers seems to be missing.
(Not on every costume trigger but on nearly all of them.)

I'm having trouble with trigger sounds objects I want to make two master triggers audio so everyone can hear the announcement im trying to add timer count down and a alarm alert in the map
i tried master owner always bufferone
they could not hear it
azure idol
how does your trigger look like? MIBIT.
faint wren
azure idol
does the owner hear the sound?
azure idol
you could try to create a costume trigger broadcast type "always/alwaysunbuffered" (what you prefer)that activates the audio trigger
the owner would have to press the button that would trigger the costum trigger.
that should definitely work.
Wait you tried even always?
azure idol
i mean if its set to "always", everyone should hear it
azure idol
so following is a bit weird, it seems like
when you use "spawn object" as action
the broadcast type vanish
can anyone replicate this problem?
-> Add a VRC_Trigger
-> Set it on any trigger type
-> Set actions "SpawnObject"
That would explain why the amount of people in the lobby would cause the costume trigger "that resets back to always" spawn one item more for every person
faint wren
its not spawn its just playing an audio source
azure idol
No this one is for the issue i and my friends have atm.

What's the purpose of the setgameobjectactive before doing the spawnobject?
azure idol
My intention was spawning an object that can be destroyed. And if someone joins late that it wont spawn for him/her.
Cause a big amount of those probably spawned and got destroyed by the time that new person joins.
random owl
Doesn't seem to be a supported use case for spawn object
azure idol
But it was supported, why that sudden change. I didnt read about it either.

I can put a resync on a trigger that everyone is guaranteed to trigger and therefore it's pretty seamlessly fixed for everyone. The only problem is, if the master hits the resync it breaks things. Is there someway I can setup a trigger to exclude the master?

Noob question. Can anyone tell me how to make my object just sit still in the air when it is let go of? I thought that would be as simple as unchecking "use gravity," but that just makes the object float like we're on the ISS.

hey, idk where to put this
it's a part of a world, but it's a rigging issue
anyway, i have a mesh, a skeleton, and an animation
the mesh has a skeleton inside it, and the animation is a seperate skeleton
both are imported into unity as fbx files
all the bones in both skeletons have the exact same names and are overall identical
but when i apply the animation to the mesh and the skeleton, it bugs out and dissapears
would anybody know why this is happening?
thank you
near escarp
you can preview the animation in unity first, does that still happen ?
daring otter
it's directly exported from the 3ds games and imported into blender to convert to fbx format
hrm
i mean here's both in blender on top of each other
had to convert the model from a DAE and the animation from an SMD
subtle cradle
And I was trying to think of the slideshow script but I cant get it to work
mild spade
@subtle cradle Custom scripts dont work. You can find slideshows from other people and use them (prefabs) I believe they would do that with shaders if you want the fade effect. If not, simple animations can do the job. Found this on booth for some $$. https://lowteq.booth.pm/items/1036533

one last thing
is there a way in sdk2 to see if an object is being touched by another?
im assuming it would be through a vrc trigger
near escarp
being held or touched ?
bold ibex
@near escarp It doesn't help much, I don't have 4 layers or 3D(I also don't want to have). I'm using AVPro.
near escarp
that's assuming you can detect people's hands like that
so in DK2 that's be quite complex

@near escarp Light probes + baked lighting + emission scale set to 10

whats the work flow for making worlds ?
would it be better to assemble everything in blender first then import into unity?
the camera controllers drive me insane in unity and I have trouble placing thing accurately
is there any optimization benefits doing it either way?

would it create a difference in the size of the map between assembing things in blender and assembling the same things in unity? I am curious

spice pond
Hello all. Got referred here for help with a world I've been trying to upload for the past few days. The world size is around 60 MB, and besides a few buttons to play/stop and skip music tracks, a mirror toggle and some chairs, I keep getting errors with only those items and I can't figure out why the world doesn't upload.
It runs fine on the Build and Test and I have the current sdk2
Had left it for over and hour now and no change. Also Future Proofing is disabled
Proof that chairs and other buttons work in testing
I've been trying to follow some basic tutorials and everything seems to be fine except this and idk why. Could use some help
Also, I've already uploaded avatars before, so there wasn't any problem
spice pond
It doesn't show any other errors no, but should it take that long to upload a world then, when an avatar uploaded fairly quickly?
near escarp
a world has to compile a lot of things, and is much heavier
spice pond
So, overnight maybe?
near escarp
no that shouldn't be that long lol
spice pond
That's what I thought. I'll give it a few more hours then
lethal moss
Frozt Wulf just deactivate Error Pause on the consol I think and ya those errors wont effect your map. That picture you posted looks like you just had to unpause the scene. like both play and pause are pressed at the top. just press pause I think and go to the Game window and it should show options to give it a name and user limit. thumbnail ,etc. and continue with the upload. Unless I'm misunderstanding something.๐ค
near escarp
Wait, he waited in pause all this time ? I'm sorry I didn't catch that

Ok i seem to have gotten over 381 errors, and not sure how to fix any of them, I updated the SDK, and now everything just seem broken

Which axis of the VRCWorld prefab or spawn points do players face down when they spawn? Z axis?

Z axis is the correct answer. It spawns with you facing in the direction that the blue arrow points.

So I have a few questions:
-
I'm trying to make the water transparent here, but no matter what shader I use it never goes transparent
-
I want to remove the colliders ONLY on the water, but w/o affecting the entire mesh of the world, is it possible to do this?
-
Is it possible to animate the water? Make the texture move
eager garnet
um, so before i updated my project i had the camera set to not render things past a certain point so i could hide areas that i placed in the distance, but now after the update, when i launch my game i can see those areas again
near escarp
@obtuse drum that's an avatar shader, not sure if that's the best idea for water
@eager garnet Did you place that camera as reference camera in vrcworld ?
obtuse drum
I tried to use some other too, but even the transparent ones doesn't give transparency to the water
near escarp
try silent's water shader
random owl
Also in the picture you have the alpha maxed
near escarp
works for me and everyone else
random owl
Something won't be transparent if it's alpha is at 255
obtuse drum
Also this shader is the only one I have with the option to disable culling, and this world need this otherwise lots of stuff doesn't show properly
hmmmmm
random owl
Also cutout can't be transparent
obtuse drum
i'll try here
for some reason it worked with the regular transparent shader now
anyone know about the other questions?

Either you need to make a custom collision mesh or separate it and not have a mesh collider on it

Are buttons' activate ranges smaller (or sometimes non-existent) for anyone else since the newest update?
I've got 3 identical size & shape buttons near each other. Two on the left I have to reach my avatar's hand practically INSIDE the button before it lights up to let me trigger it. One on the right I can't get to light up at all no matter how much I wave my hand at or in it. (All three buttons were working fine before update.) Detection range is 2, I increased it to 3, didn't help.
A whole keypad of buttons with detection range 2 isn't lighting up at all when it was working great beforehand.
Am on newest SDK, did the "advanced update" steps. Not my first rodeo with that ^_^

Are they inside a bigger collider ?

I need some help. So I tried uploading my first avatar world and it went fine except the floor . When you spawn in you just fall right through the floor, how do I fix that? Also the camera is a bit messed up and it hurts my eyes how do I fix that?

hurts your eyes ?
fair anvil
I've just fixed the floor. The world is displayed weird I the vr headset
Like if you shut one eye you see what your supposed to see but if you shut the other eye you see something else
near escarp
what shader are you using
fair anvil
Well the floor is a matcap lit shader
near escarp
Then i doubt it supports VR
daring patrol
Ru - sorry for delayed response. Hmm. Technically yes? Though they always have been. They're not inside a collider that you activate like a button, but they are inside the collider zone of an audio override region. (The ones that ARE working are in there too.)
near escarp
@daring patrol In that case you'll have to put the larger collider onto the MirrorReflection layer

Is that new? Didn't need that before. So the audio override region will still work in that layer, yes?
(Uh... also how do I put it in the mirror reflection layer? ๐ )

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to share the world I'm working on, with my friends. I know it's possible to build and test with multiple clients but my dream is to be able to test on a different computer. So is there any solutions for this ? Thanks !
wispy cloud
@thin garden login on to the VRChat website, go to the Worlds tab, My Worlds, click on the world you want to share and hit the Launch button. From there you can copy the link of the website and share that with whoever you want to and it'll launch the game into that world
You'll still have to upload the world, but you can keep it private for testing by not uploading to community labs yet.

Is not working on game? or on Unity? Or both? @opaque raven

Did you add the main camera to the canvas ?
opaque raven
i-
wait
yes
i did
the bloom slider works fine
but the volume one does nothing
mild spade
they use the same canvas, right?
opaque raven
mhm
mild spade
hmm, can you try copying the slider from the bloom and only changing the target and the AudioSource . volume (basically ctrl D i mean)
opaque raven
thats what this is
i tried with and without duplicating
i redid both the audio source and even tried putting on another canvas and nothings worked
mild spade
ah ok, could it be that something else is blocking the view? Perhaps moving the slider somewhere else free of colliders
mild spade
wait, so you can move the slider? but it does not changes the value? Is that the problem?
mild spade
so, if the value on the slider is.. 0.6, the volume on the audio source does not change at all? Nothing?
opaque raven
instead of just repeating myself over and over heres a screenrecording
wait oops its mkv
1 sec
mild spade
Ok, Have you tested it in VRChat? After testing a little, found out that the value changes you do directly from the slider script, will not have an effect on the actual audio source. If you want to test that, try it in the game or directly form the unity GAME tab (while play mode). Even though the slider does move on the script (without moving it directly on the GAME tab) the values are not reflected on the audio source. Weird.
mild spade
ahh xD Well, at least we both learned something new. I didnt know moving the slider on the script didnt change the values. At least everything is good now.
opaque raven
well it changes the values for my bloom in script
thats why i thought it wasnt working
mild spade
Interesting. Looks like not everything can be tested that way then. hmm

How do I set up post processing as a trigger I made a duplicate post procession for a vrc trigger for sleep night mode and I changed the color filter but I set up all the triggers for it local interact game object and set it to toggle but when I click my trigger it does nothing it doesnt go dark or anything why?
Is there a way to turn off post processing on awake like audio or how do you do that because when I hide it aand make it a trigger it wont activate sleep mode that I set up
near escarp
are you disabling a post processing volume ?
fluid river
As you can see post processing is set up properly on a trigger as setgameobjectactive but nothing happens..
Yes I am
Is that wrong?
near escarp
nope that's how it works, hence my confusion
fluid river
I just had an idea if I disable the other post processing when I turn on night mode could they be conflicting?
with eachother
Or it could be that it looks different in the actual world the lighting maybe?
Should I try to make it darker..
Wait @near escarp I think I disabled the whole thing and not the volume that is the problem thankyou I will try this now
near escarp
If you have two enabled with the same importance then i think it wouldn't override it, so that probably makes sense
fluid river
so should I disable the other when enabling the sleep mode?
the other post processing
near escarp
either that or giving more weight to the sleep one
fluid river
What does it meant to give more weight to it?
near escarp
sorry it's priority not weight
fluid river
what does priority do?
near escarp
it gives priority
fluid river
@near escarp I did only disable the volume and still it didnt work..
near escarp
tried disabling the object itself ?
fluid river
Im still having trouble with my post processing now someone is telling me to not use toggle and just set true and false but then how would I be able to turn it back off???
near escarp
Same thing with the other button, it'd turn the night one off and day one on, on the same trigger @fluid river

hey guys i'm having a lil bit of trouble setting up a skybox in my world, at least i guess that's whats happening.
so it's my first time trying to create a world and i'm currently testing out what i can do (creating a small platform, mirror etc) and when i try to put in a skybox it doesn't work and basically corrupts(?) the project so it doesn't save anything after that point anymore when i go and try to test the map in vrc it'll have everything from before i put in the skybox but nothing after, any idea as to why that's happening?
random owl
My guess is you imported the allskyfree skybox pack
It includes a script that stops compiling from working properly
Delete the script and there's no issue

Yes it does
That's why I can name it so easily

By default mirrors only show baked lights because of the performance of real time lights
If you really want to enable them in mirrors untick the pixel lights toggle

Is there a way for a gameobject in a world to play an animation randomly?
i.e. an idle > idle 1 or 2 > idle

yep, the randomize function in triggers

so i'd assume then ontimer into playanimation
near escarp
if you're using timers sure
misty timber
so for example, something like this?
fading ginkgo
Does anyone know how to make a mirror slightly transparent?
near escarp
@misty timber pretty much everything is incorrect ๐
misty timber
near escarp
make it local, repeat if you need it to play again multiple times, and the sliders need to both be at 0.5
Also i don't think the animation component will work
worth a try though
misty timber
what about the receiver part then?
near escarp
Usually you'd use an animator with two animations in it, and use an animation trigger
misty timber
alright, i'll try animationtrigger; what would go exactly in the trigger space then, the animation names?
near escarp
one sec, i'll set it up and record a quick gif

@near escarp it seems to only pick one and stick to it? i don't have an exit time on both anims' enter and leaving transitions so i'm not sure
near escarp
they should all be 0.25 btw
Also what's the timer setup you're using for this and why ?
misty timber
it's just on its own in an armature that contains the anims
it's all just to have the goat go from the idle to a random secondary idle
near escarp
ah then you don't need triggers at all
just have the animator swap to another idle
you can also randomize it, but i don't think it's meant to be done with OnTimer

does anyone know how i can turn objects that i've imported from the asset store solid? i'm very new to this stuff and unity in general and everything except objects that i've made in unity are not solid and i can walk or fall straight through them. does anyone know how i can fix that without needing to put objects behind everything?
random owl
You need a collider on them
meager badge
how do i add one?
random owl
Do you know how to add components to gameobjects? Just go that menu and search for collider.
Mesh collider will be the easiest to add but also not that optimized depending on how high poly your objects are
meager badge
which would be the second best option then? cuz i have some objects that are VERY high in polys
random owl
Best case is you construct the collisions from the primitive colliders like box collider and such
Or what triple a games do and generate a lower poly mesh and use that as the mesh collider which does require a lot more work though
But if you just have a table or something like that usually just adding a single box collider is enough
meager badge
i have an entire building with a small passageway that was blocked by the mesh collider, also getting close to the building was impossible becasue the balcony moved the mesh collider far out so i'd stop about 1-2m in front of it, is there no other way of having a "perfect" collider without binding it yourself with the box collider
untold fossil
Any Status on the fix for the Audio override yet?
random owl
@meager badge the balcony "moved" the mesh collider?
@untold fossil "Audio override is still being worked on, it's slightly more complex" is what Ruuubick said on friday don't know if anything's been said after
meager badge
idk if that was the right way to put it but basically the balcony moved the borders of the collider outside of the main body so i couldn't get close to it when i tested it out
random owl
All that mesh collider does is use the mesh as the collider unless there is some part of the mesh there putting it outside that shouldn't be a thing
Are you sure that wasn't just your player collider stopping you from going closer?
meager badge
i hope this helps understand
either that or i did something wrong which i didn't understand
meager badge
i did something wrong oops
untold fossil
yeah wasnt sure he said maybe by monday we would here more @random owl
random owl
It's more optimized sure but not the best in every case
meager badge
@random owl do you also know your way with shaders and stuff?
random owl
Please don't ping me for vague questions and instead post your actual question here so someone can answer if they know the answer
meager badge
i'm sorry, i asked the question already and got no response, the question was how i could make it so i can overlay the black and white map over the colorful one and have all the dark spots on the first one be transparent, i tried everything i could imagine but nothing worked
random owl
I mean I would just most likely add them together in photoshop
bold ibex
When I try to upload it, it goes to "Future proofing your content" and then after that nothing happens
This is my first time making a map so idk what im doing
mild spade
Even if you are able to fix the problem, you will not be able to enter the world in game since you are using an unsupported Unity version. https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version @bold ibex
bold ibex
so, Does that mean I have to redo it or just fix the unity version
mild spade
Look like you are using a higher Unity version. I dont think it is possible to move a project to a lower version. Sorry. I think you could export your models as fbx files, but I have never done it.
random owl
Since it's just minor versions it should be fine just opening it up again in the correct version
bold ibex
oh then pog
mild spade
Oh!! That is good news!
random owl
If it was say 2020 to 2018 it would be harder but also semi doable
Make a backup though if you want to be safe @bold ibex
bold ibex
I made 7 backups in the past 2 hours
I accidentally turnt my world into a single prefab and started over on 3 separate occasion's so im saving alot
rough wedge
Would anyone know a possible reason why all sprites in my world show up pink, as if missing a shader? They look fine in Unity and are only using the default sprite shader, but it fails in game.
strange plover
So i'm working on a particle animation world, finally finished spawn and started on the animations
I want the world to go darker when the song starts so I put a darkening shader on a large sphere around the whole area.. problem is I only want it to affect the skybox and it's applying the darkening to some objects I don't want it to..
the text and the crystals aren't supposed to be darkened, they should be bright and glowing like everything else.
After messing around for hours I got it to work right, but only in the scene view and not the camera
In the camera view the darken shader isn't applied at all.. I know it has to do with render queue stuff and its relation to shaders but I still can't get a good grasp on how it works and can't find any tutorials on it ๐ฆ
near escarp
Is the main camera the main reference camera in the vrcworld prefab ?
also worth asking in #shaders
lethal moss
maybe its possible to animate the skybox and change its exposure or color with it. Enable the animation when the song starts.
idk if thats a thing
coral magnet
Is there documentation on how players can be physically affected in worlds? For example, players remain stationary when the ground beneath them moves.
But vertical movement affects them.
I was wondering if horizontally shoving a player would move them. But perhaps that sort of info is written down somewhere..?
rough wedge
Shoving from the side will move a player yes. I'm unaware of any specific documentation in that regard. (Not that I've gone looking)
strange plover
also worth asking in #shaders
@near escarp Yep it is. im pretty sure it's to do with render queue stuff. ill keep trying
coral magnet
Ah excellent, thank you @rough wedge . That'll be very useful in one of my worlds
Now I'm wondering how thick the walls should be so players don't phase through.. ๐
Time to look up vrchat's tick rate!
D:
hmm.
I suppose it must be around thirty.
near escarp
You can push players but not slide stuff below their feet afaik
That's a unity issue that is annoying to deal with
near escarp
You can do anything in Udon thoigh
coral magnet
Shame there's no wiki for that sort of info
Oh yes, udon is nice!
Recompiling in c# got a bit annoying after a while though ๐
ripe garden
you cant spin players around with udon tho ๐ข
coral magnet
pah! just spin the world around them!!
ripe garden
that would only work locally
ripe garden
we need more spherical worlds
ripe garden
yeah, i think cyan lase made one or two in sdk2, super neat
coral magnet
oh cyan makes such cool stuff.
I haven't played vrchat the entire year, been holding off until udon's more mature
now seems like an OK time! ๐
shame we can't sync arrays though. syncing in general is the thing I've had the most trouble with in the past :<
near escarp
It'll all happen eventually, just takes time
coral magnet
of course. I think udon is much better than the system we had before!
triggers rattled my trust in making vrchat worlds somewhat ๐ฆ
It became very challenging to maintain worlds when VRChat updates introduced issues
I'll have to make an udon world to see how things are now ๐
Best of luck to you and your team!
bold ibex
What does that mean?
Like how do you compile a scene
sorry im like super new new to this
near escarp
@coral magnet Udon will most likely rattle you in the same ways
@bold ibex you have console errors
coral magnet
oh noooooo
near escarp
Bugs happen 
coral magnet
Well, at least it'll be easier to maintain. Less fiddling with the inspector.
near escarp
Yeah for sure
coral magnet
When it's a syncing issue it usually just meant finding a workaround for me.
Doing the same thing differently and seeing what worked.
bold ibex
alrighty, Time to figure out whats wrong. If i knew where the console was
near escarp
Tab next to assets
coral magnet
Bottom left, below your inspector ๐
Things I wish I knew when I started creating worlds:
- How to mipmap fonts ( to keep them from getting pixelated at a distance )
- Crunch those textures ( to keep those worlds small! )
bold ibex
still have no idea how to do either of those
coral magnet
oh crunching should be easy! I saw you have some skyboxes, those tend to be really large
if you click on one of the textures you should be able to see it in the inspector on the right hand side.
at the bottom there's a box to enable crunch compression, which should drastically reduce the file size of those files.
And mipmap fonts: That's more difficult, I've only seen it in one or two other worlds ๐
Good luck with your world mate!
bold ibex
thanks!

what does the world "heat" rating mean when viewing the world details?

When i use my avatar, sometimes its really bright in my world. But other avatars dont have this problem. Is this something wrong with my mirror or lighting settings? or is it the avatar shader problem?
eager garnet
so i uploaded a diffrent version of my world to test it and when i try to join it it just shows me this and then boots me back to my home world
eager garnet
please, i need to fix this so i can test my world before tomorrow
open thicket
whats the most efficient way for visual counters in vrchat to detect how many are in a room
?
i understand the ints but to visually display that I don't want individual gameobjects
can I use something like a shader to display a different 40 different UV sets?
uneven trail
How do I make more than one world? When I publish and change name and such it overwrites previous one?
random owl
You need to detach the id in your scene descriptor
@cold zealot hard to say from just that description could be either, you can test by spawning in a sphere with the standard shader and moving it around that will show you how things are looking right now
@eager garnet there's couple different reasons that can happen for example null spawn point in your scene descriptor or having multiple pipeline managers in the world (search for t:pipelinemanager in hierarchy to find them)
@open thicket with sdk2 there's not much better way, and honestly 2 separate game objects to display the two numbers isn't really that bad
Though shader is possible ofc but the difference would most likely be pretty minimal
eager garnet
would avatar pipelines count?
random owl
The pipeline manager is the same for worlds and avatars having them in the same scene will break uploading worlds
eager garnet
the regular version of my world has them and it works
i just wanna make sure i solved this before i upload again because my potato of a pc takes up to an hour to do it
random owl
Give me the world id of the broken world
Even if having multiple pipeline managers might sometimes work it's like 99% chance of what you are seeing happening
You really shouldn't have avatars in the same scene as a world
eager garnet
i copied them in to use as props a long time ago
random owl
In the log I'm seeing the world id of your public world and private world meaning there is two pipeline managers there associated with these two worlds
https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
You can try the world debugger in my world tools to see if it finds any other issues
uneven trail
The Blueprint ID in pipeline manager?
random owl
Yes that's where the world gets uploaded to
random owl
Yes
bold ibex
how can i randomize audio in my world i like 2 songs and i want the world to randomly pick which one to play when i join the world
neat badger
I seem to recall something about VRChat disallowing the use of Unity's prefab 3D objects, but I can't find mention of it now. I think it might have been for avatars but maybe it was for worlds as well. Does anyone know of anything in regards to this? If I create a quad in my world, is it going to show up, or be deleted automatically by the game? Perhaps that was just something to do with avatar performance stats cause they couldn't read the meshes for some reason to determine polycount?
bold ibex
how can i fix this? it keeps saying there are 2 delegators but i deleted them and it says i have the same plugins but i keep deleted the second plugins folder thats a duplicate but it keeps returning
i reinstalled the sdk 2 many times and yes its the newest sdk
i deleted the sqlite3 plugin cause i have 2 but it keeps coming back
random owl
The whole Plugin/VRCSDK folder hasn't been a thing for a long time now you need to close your unity and delete it from windows plus the meta file associated with the folder
And possibly nuke the whole sdk and reimport depending what you've been deleting
chilly trellis
I want to start on making my first world, which will be an avatar world to show case all of my avatars/edits. Any advice? Also, where can i find premade worlds?
bold ibex
my first advice is dont use a premade world thats so lazy
random owl
@bold ibex also you need to delete the allskyfree script
bold ibex
i did @random owl
@chilly trellis $10 and ill make you a world from scratch it will be super good
chilly trellis
1: I dont have money
2: i dont want to pay
3: i WANT to learn on how to work on worlds so i can make more in the future
4: i'm just tryna start from learning the basics first anyways
I hate that when i ask for advice, people just ask me to be even lazier by getting someone to do it for me.
So, i know the sdk2 can make avatars, but can i use it for worlds too? and how do i do that?
chilly trellis
but what does the cube even do?
bold ibex
it does cube things
