[desert python]

or... you could be stupid like me and create a massive bone tracking system that can also be used to trick-collider into people

[bold ibex]

withing the models to give the immersion of sitting but I dunno If that's worth it

[bold ibex]

hmmm hahaha

I'll have to find some way to make it a collder '

collider

lets see if box colider 2d works

[severe pier]

the more I've built in unity, the more I kind of admire the way multiple people can build at once in Halo forge, I wish there was a way you could do that in unity

[bold ibex]

totally

Do you know how to make models colliders in vr chat @severe pier

[severe pier]

like a mesh collider?

[median bluff]

The world was uploaded with a 40 people cap. Thanks you for your help!

[errant beacon]

cool! and yw c:

[thin hollow]

A prop in my world keeps falling through the floor - any idea why?

[errant beacon]

Tick the Convex checkbox on the mesh collider

do the same on your floor if you're using a mesh collider there o:

[thin hollow]

ah

got it

that worked

thanks a ton

[errant beacon]

yw!

[random owl]

Convex collider on floor would be really dependable on the floors shape and if it would work box collider would be better

[stiff imp]

Quick Question:
So I just received a few emails about that I have been welcomed to upload custom content, but I'm still visitor rank in VRChat.

Sooo, can I upload worlds?

[light carbon]

Can you check what it says on the VRChat website? Your rank will be the color around your entire profile (not the yellow one that appears around your profile picture or green in the case that you're in-game)

[small canopy]

@thin hollow You could also change the collision detection from discrete to continuous so it's less subject to pass through geometry

[stiff imp]

I got this blue

[light carbon]

Yeah that's New User as such you can upload content to VRChat

[stiff imp]

Oh shit, nice!

Okay

So for me in game it might've not yet updated I guess.

[stiff imp]

Thank you Ohm! May your resistance be high?

[light carbon]

👍

[jade crown]

I have got a question how do I make it so I can toggle on the ui?

[jade crown]

because I am so clueless what I am doing wrong

[mild spade]

Right now you are using a button to toggle a mirror on and off, You could have another button that turns the UI on and off just the same way. Either by making another canvas, or using an OnInteract button you can press.

[jade crown]

I am trying to make it so the mirror goes on or off then I press the button twice thats what I ment my makeing the ui toggleable

I tried to make it toggle the mirror but that seemed to not work sadly

[mild spade]

Ah ok, sorry for misunderstanding, It seems what you are doing is right, but you could also use a "Toggle" instead of a "Button" to make it more simple. Did you tested it in the Unity Play mode and/or in the game? Maybe the problem is not that it doesnt work, but that is not set up properly (you need UI Shape on the canvas for example)

[jade crown]

ok I just changed it to toggle and I think I already had the ui shape on it but I could have been wrong and I tested it in unity & in the game

[jade crown]

thank you its some how magically working

[mild spade]

oh That is strange xD things magically fixing themselves on unity, happens often

[jade crown]

well I kinda fixed it some how but its like walking on the ceiling I don't know how I did it but at the same time I did

Another question this one should be way more easy

How do I make this guy not fling players all over the place when holding it?

I once tried making them triggers but that just makes them not interact with the environment and I want them to

[mild spade]

If it is on the PickUp layer it should not interact with the player, do you have another collider as a child maybe? If you do, try setting that to PickUp as well

[jade crown]

ill try

they both have pick up I think

yeah

but different problem now

I got the pick up off of the child

[mild spade]

You dont need 2 pickup scripts, I was just telling you to change the layer to "Pickup" , sorry for not explaining correctly. Leave the pickup script on the parent, and remove it on the child, but make sure both have the layer as "pickup"

[jade crown]

ok all good thanks!

[random owl]

Might want to also make sure to remove the box collider from the child cube

[pure kraken]

@near escarp not sure if you would have an answer to this, but I seem to be having trouble with my avpro audio sources. I'm having trouble hearing the audio that comes out, even though the world is at 100% and the volume is at 1 in the audio script. Any ideas?

[near escarp]

No clue, sorry

[pure kraken]

damn. its kk

[south drum]

anyone know how to change color?

[tired granite]

@south drum Create a material in the color/texture you want and drag and drop it on

[south drum]

thx

[tired granite]

Anyone have any ideas why sprites would fail to animate in vrc world? They work fine in the unity editor playing automatically during runtime, no triggers or anything however once uploaded the sprites are just stationary

[mild spade]

How are you animating them? Particle system with sprite sheet? Sprite renderer with animator components? I have worlds with sprite (as 2D sprite texture type) and they work with both particle and sprite renderers

[tired granite]

It's a sprite renderer with a animation script

[mild spade]

Custom scripts dont work on VRChat. You have to either use vrchat´s trigger system or create your own scripts using Udon (sdk3)

(or animate your own using animators)

[tired granite]

Ahhh so that's why, ok thank you!

[bold ibex]

hey guys I'm having a weird issue with pickupables in game

I have assigned these three components and they were working but not on a few objects they just pick up the shadow of the item you can see it fully

[random owl]

You most likely have the item marked as static

[bold ibex]

1)vrc object sync
2)vrc pickup
3)mesh collider/convex

[bold ibex]

ah let me check

correcto

!

lmao

how didnt I see that

[slate spire]

I have a question about Depth Masks in the system. The shader I made shows up perfectly in scene view, but seems to be multiplying upon itself in game view and in VRC.

this is a shot of it in viewport, going to send one in game

    SubShader{
        // Render the mask after regular geometry, but before masked geometry and
        // transparent things.

        Tags {"Queue" = "Geometry-10" }

        // Don't draw in the RGBA channels; just the depth buffer

        ColorMask 0
        ZWrite On

        // Do nothing specific in the pass:

        Pass {}
    }
}```

this is the depth mask Im using, am I doing something wrong?

Im trying to hide things below the plane and just show the skybox with a little mist effect to let people know where they are walking

[bold ibex]

If anyone is looking for the qv pens or udon keyboard

What kind of control do we have over our worlds when they go live? Can we kick or ban people from them?

[random owl]

Permanently no, but temporarily yes from any instance you are in

[supple urchin]

Can anyone help me with light mapping? 2 of my objects have overlapping light mapping can't they both aren't letting me enable the setting to get rid of that error. (Just DM me I'll get back to you in the morning)

[worn elk]

I'm trying to use Norix's media player, but it says it NEEDS UdonSharp to make it work. The problem is, any time I install the Unity package for either UdonSharp or the media player, I get 90 critical errors and can no longer build my world.

As far as I know, I'm not doing anything wrong. These errors appear the instant I import UdonSharp. All I want is a media player that allows other people to enter URLs. The basic one that the SDK comes with kind of sucks. It only lets the world master use it, and I cannot find any way to allow it to transfer usage to other people in my world.

I really dont want anything complicated. I just want to be able to let other people post videos. Norix's media player looks like it should be working just fine, but its exploding my error log

[devout plume]

Object not showing up after add "VRC pickup"
anyone knows what caused it?

after I remove the script, it will show up

[worn elk]

@stoic fractal @harsh geode@fringe viper Not sure who to tag. Seems like this is a bot scam

Someone may have a compromised account

@gloomy fog

Sorry if I pinged the wrong people. Still learning my way around the server

[fringe viper]

Usually you'd want to ping Active Chat Mod for Discord chat-related issues. :p

[worn elk]

Lol yes, I realized this a smidge too late

[sour axle]

quick question:
i have seen worlds that make your avatar lose control of your kinemetic and fall to the ground like a puppet (simulating death).
does someone know how it works or point me to an article on how to do that? (SDK3)

[bitter idol]

Use a different video prefab. There are many available

[bitter idol]

Firs of all you're missing object sync so the objects movement won't be seen by others, second of all you have gravity checked and the collider off so it's probably falling through the world....

You need the collider enabled to even pick it up btw

Disabling gravity will make it float, and kinematic will make it so it stays still in the Air

[bitter idol]

I've done that in sdk2 it is the vrc damage script and you need the vrc player health mod in world player mods I think?

I think that's everything. Might be forgetting. Haven't touched it in a year

Wouldn't recommend doing that currently though. My world is bugged now thanks to the update so any one who dies is stuck in t pose till they rejoin

That might happen to you

[sour axle]

thanks, i will take a look into it 👍

[worn elk]

Do you have a recommendation? The Norix one which requires UdonSharp is the only one I can seem to find.

Not to mention there's a ton of other useful things I'd like to use that requires UdonSharp

[tepid tangle]

hi! can you still upload sdk 2.0 worlds? i go to upload my sdk 2.0 world and it just doesnt go to the upload screen??? theres a scene descriptor and everything should work but it doesnt open the upload thing in the game window anymore

wait nvm i fixed it but i know this is gonna happen when i upload the world, but how do i add gravity and such again??? i remember all my other worlds wouldnt have gravity for some weird reason until i added something (you couldnt jump) but i dont remember what it is that i add

[tawdry egret]

Alr Quick question for anyone, its easy asf im prolly just dumb

Wheres the package manager for unity? its not in the Window Tab anymore atleast to my knowledge

[tawdry egret]

thats in 2018:20.4?

or whatever the vrchat world one is for

[worn elk]

Can anyone tell me how to use the VRC Spacial Audio? I THOUGHT I had a good idea of how it works, but for some reason, no matter what I do, the sound I want to play keeps coming out whisper quiet. NOTHING makes it louder. I have messed with the gain, which I read caps out at 10 despite being able to enter in higher values, I've messed with the distance, I've messed with virtually everything I can think of. No matter whether I use Logarithmic audio curve, or whatever the VRC Spacial Audio script uses, NOTHING gets this sound above a whisper.

I've been banging my head against this for HOURS now and nothing seems to make a difference. Its taking almost 5 minutes just to build and test each time and if anyone just knows the answer, I think I might be able to die happy.

[unreal eagle]

Have you tried removing the VRC Spatial Audio component and playing the sound? Does it still sound quiet?

[worn elk]

When I try to build the world, it tells me I NEED the VRC Spatial Audio component or it wont work

even though I've already configured the audio curve in the Audio Component

I think I found part of the issue

but its so hard to tell since I need to change ONE THING and then build to see if it makes a difference

[unreal eagle]

Ignore the warning, you don’t need the VRC Spatial Audio component to build. It’s useful for having accurate directional audio but not having it will allow you to use other audio source types

[worn elk]

I'm in the middle of a build so I cant expand these menus at the moment, but these are the settings I am using right now. Under Advanced Options, it is checked to use the curve in the audio settings, and not whatever whackadoodle settings are in the VRC Spatial Audio Source.

A moment ago, I had the spatial blend accidentally defaulted to 2D and the sound was deafening and could be heard anywhere in the world

[unreal eagle]

Do you have CyanEmu installed? It will let you preview changes in the editor instead of needing to build every time

[worn elk]

Turned the blend all the way to 3D and now it actually responds to where I am in relation to the sound, but is WAY too loud

I set the gain to 3

rather than 10

It seems like either deafening or whisper is the only two volumes I can pull out of this

I dont know what CyanEmu is, but if it requires UdonSharp I have not been able to get that to work without it creating 90 critical errors

I have no idea what causes that either

[unreal eagle]

Nah, you can use it without UdonSharp

I can’t see any problems with your audio source component. What about the audio clip itself? When you preview the audio file outside of Unity, is it loud or quiet?

[worn elk]

Its average

its not as quiet as VR chat is playing

Trying this instead now

A gain of 3 made absolutely no difference. I set it back to 10, and lowered the sound VOLUME above to 0.5

[unreal eagle]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

Install this package so you won’t have to build every time to preview changes

Just as another idea, check your VRChat world audio volume in the settings window just in case it is set at a low level

[worn elk]

volume is at 100

Gain 10, Volume 0.5 = no change. Extremely loud

Trying again with a Gain of 1, Volume 0.5

Gain 1, Volume 0.5 still comes out blastingly loud

Trying with these settings

Now the curve HAS to start at 0.5

[unreal eagle]

Did you install CyanEmu? You’ll be able to adjust the audio levels in real-time when you play in the editor. Just make sure to copy the component values before exiting play

[worn elk]

Going to do that on the next try

But

When I last tried to upload my world, it activated the Play option, and EVERY SINGLE SOUND in the world played simultaneously at full volume

they do not behave that way when you're actually in world

but if I click that play button, they all go at the same time

full blast

[unreal eagle]

By Play, you mean Play on Awake?

[unreal eagle]

Right

[worn elk]

The sounds are set to play on awake, because most of them are ambient noise or music for certain areas of the world

they are meant to loop indefinitely

when I actually try to publish the world, that play button gets activated, and all the sounds go at the same time, full blast, and wont stop until finish uploading the world or cancel the upload.

[unreal eagle]

Oh

[worn elk]

my guess is that because there is no 3D space to alter the volume, they all just play at max volume

once I am IN world, their volumes are obviously adjusted based on my camera position

[unreal eagle]

You can mute the sounds coming from the editor by clicking the speaker icon at the top of the window and should work when you enter play mode

[worn elk]

Getting this critical error now

[unreal eagle]

Are you using the latest VRC World SDK?

[worn elk]

Can I upgrade that easily? I think I am two updates behind

idk

I dont know

I am really losing my mind

I manually set my curve to 0.5 volume and THAT seems to be the one and only thing that lowers the volume to a reasonable level

but then what is the purpose of the gain an volume sliders if they dont DO anything?

[unreal eagle]

It should be easy to update. Here are the steps from the VRChat Documentation
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk

[worn elk]

oh yeah it just goes over the old SDK

[unreal eagle]

How's everything looking now?

[worn elk]

I dont know yet. I'm still trying to figure out how cyanemu works

current volume settings are Volume 1, Gain 0, and the audio curve starts at 1 and rolls off to 0 after 10 meters

at this point I just want it to be quieter

Before, even when the volume was at 0.5, it was still explosively loud

but when I set the CURVE to start at 0.5, it was as expected

and I dont know why

like, shouldnt the volume slider be the default starting volume of the sound? I know I can control that with the curve, but I shouldnt have to

lowering the volume slider should lower the OVERALL volume of the entire curve

[unreal eagle]

So when you click Play now and start the game, select the game object that has the audio source component on it and you should be able to adjust the volume values in real-time

[worn elk]

I can see, yeah

its working now

[unreal eagle]

Just make sure to left click the gear icon at the top right of the audio source component and select 'Copy Component' before exiting Play mode. You can then click the gear icon again on that audio source component and select 'Paste Component Values' to make sure your changes are saved. If you exit Play mode, your changes during Play mode won't be applied

[worn elk]

I got it working. I dont know what I did differently, but through some combination of settings, its FINALLY at the appropriate volume

also Cyan makes this much easier and faster

[unreal eagle]

Great to hear

[worn elk]

Thank you for all of your help. This was driving me insane

[unreal eagle]

No worries, glad to help

[worn elk]

Now to figure out why UdonSharp throws so many errors

Thats my next big challenge

[unreal eagle]

The best place to start is downloading the latest version and going from there

[worn elk]

I do have the latest version

When I install the unity package, it throws the errors immediately

[unreal eagle]

Ok yeah my knowledge stops at anything outside audio

[worn elk]

I dont know if there's an example scene or something causing the issue or what

I appreciate you getting me this far.

[unreal eagle]

Not sure if this will help, but there are steps on how to set up UdonSharp at the bottom of the Github page
https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp

Try making a new scene to see if you can get it working there

[worn elk]

yeah gonna have to

[unreal eagle]

All right, good luck

[worn elk]

thank you

[verbal hare]

has anyone tried uploading a minecraft schematic into VRChat before?

[glacial pond]

Is it possible to get a directional audio source that works similar to a directional light? Sounds as if it's coming from the same global direction, everywhere. example: wind

[desert python]

make audio source, set 3d, and make bubble rediculously large, put audio source in the distence in the direction you want

[glacial pond]

Won't that be... insanely loud? But thank you!

[desert python]

text logo can go further on the physics and how to make the audio more realistic

have you seen "betteraudio" yet? theres an audio source set up they been developing

[glacial pond]

I haven't, very new to world creation

[desert python]

lemme find link, assuming your sdk3?

[glacial pond]

yep

And thank you!

[desert python]

https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio

check out the branches and check out "feat-add-everything" and add that and that should have a bit on audio source stuff

[unreal eagle]

Just to clarify, Guribo is the one who created BetterAudio. I haven't touched or contributed to it at all

[desert python]

ye ik

to clarify: text logo knows audio, but did not create betteraud

[jade crown]

I have got my own question I am trying to make this coffee have its own mesh so I can pick it up

[desert python]

is that not working in game? try a box collider instead. they are usually more reliable imo

[unreal eagle]

You might want to take a look at Ambisonics. It's a surround sound audio format where the Oculus Spatializer audio SDK renders the 'soundfield' binaurally. These link explains Ambisonics more in-depth:

Start Mixing VR / 360° Sound in Ambisonics B-Format (Ignore their plugin and just follow the principles)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m4VxFSYSEA

[jade crown]

alright

question how would I put it on a triangle?

I think I would need a custom mesh for that one

[desert python]

ye

[jade crown]

uh.... this one aint working so well cheif how does one fix this?

[desert python]

that looks like it should work

[jade crown]

ok

some how I can't pick it up

no

I was wrong

some of it is selectable I will do with what I have

[desert python]

i still highly suggest the box collider, it should be much easier, and set pick up radius to 100%

[fallen wave]

box colliders are far more consistent than mesh colliders

[proven glade]

Okay someone wants me to work on a hotel map and I need to know. For optimization should I build this in blender first or like is it fine to just kinda build it entirely in unity

With combine meshes

[near escarp]

Blender

[surreal nebula]

just want some thoughts.

I also have a question for unity. Is there a shader that can make sbs/over-under images appear 3d? I'd seen this in janusvr and hope I could do it here

I know I've seen 3d panorama's in worlds

[random owl]

https://github.com/TCL987/UnityShaders

[proven glade]

Alrighty

[surreal nebula]

ty, I assume desktop will see it how it is in unity, right?

[random owl]

Should be yeah

Don't remember exactly how it works as I haven't really used it myself

[half mirage]

hey guys, working a world and trying to get quest compatibility/performance up. currently i'm using qvpen, have imported the quest materials (which it says will be automatically used), and set the trailrenderer width to 0.005 as suggested in the readme. however on quest devices the trail does not render properly, instead appearing as many dots, and performance tanks when looking towards it, almost crashing the user. it functions properly on windows. any ideas would be massively appreciated!

the rest of the map is optimized enough that it hasn't been a problem as of yet thankfully

i saw some previous messages about having to modify the unlit/color shader, however it only seems to be used by the eraser, which i am not including in the world at this time

[half mirage]

hmm,,,, i may be stupid!! i might have to just actually set it to the quest material manually, which i did not set the trailrenderer width properly last time i tried that, so it didn't show up and assumed i broke it; will report back in the morning whether it works

[indigo storm]

What are the limits of cross plat worlds in vrchat?

[wet flax]

I was wondering how I might go about creating a joystick in VRChat? I know roughly how to make one in regular unity VR, but I don't know if that would apply to VRChat

[glacial pond]

"Gain" on VRC Spatial Audio Source does not seem to be increasing the volume at all, am I missing something? Trying to make a very quiet clip louder.

[bold ibex]

so im making a world and have a small question, im testing out lod and i seem to have it setup with low poly models but when it says to cull the undecimated mesh is still there?

how do i add the normal mesh as lod 0

so it switches between it and the decimated

[glacial pond]

LOD groups are not recommended for VRChat as the quality settings will not work how you expect, VRLow and Desktop Low will cull them way too soon

[proven glade]

Oh

[glacial pond]

Maybe someone figured out how to make them work well on all quality settings simultaneously, I’m operating on fairly old information

[proven glade]

(Btw this Rinner person sent me some stranfe dms)

[near escarp]

I'd suggest increasing the gain in an audio editing software instead, it's more reliable

[jagged glen]

I am new to VR Chat and am in love with building worlds. My background in 3D is in 3DS Max mostly for just animations/videos. I've been working on building a world and can test OK when I test locally, but when I try to upload so I can have a friend also test, I get stuck on the "Creating file version record" load screen. I have successfully loaded a version about 2 weeks ago, but now, I cannot. I cannot seem to find any online references to this issue, so popped in here.

It does the same thing when trying to load a windows or android version, i updated the SDK, baked the lighting, cleared cache.....everything I can think of.....but nothing changes the behavior

[near escarp]

Can you cancel and check the console ?

[jagged glen]

I apologize, still new, i can cancel but what does "check the console" mean?

[near escarp]

Unity console, it's the tab next to Assets

[jagged glen]

Found it

so seeing the errors, but now just gotta figure out how to fix them 🙂

[bold ibex]

how do you fix twitching shadows

nvm fixed that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/847224082407227432/852972494638022666/unknown.png

now im just trying to correct this

parts darken when i look in certain directions

[near escarp]

It says the file is too big, what's in your world currently ?

[jagged glen]

A tavern, 2 large(ish) underground rooms and some tunnels

Nothing extravagent

[near escarp]

How many individual asset is that ?

how many textures, what resolution

[jagged glen]

Maps tend to be 4096x4096, i have about 25 assets or so

[near escarp]

Are they extremely high poly ?

What's the actual size of the environment

[jagged glen]

would it better to talk directly so i can show?

[near escarp]

am working currently, but some screenshots would help a lot

[jagged glen]

understood @near escarp same here, but working from home so have some flexibility. Can i send them directly?

[near escarp]

You can post stuff here

[jagged glen]

it may be an issue with my colliders, I was using mesh colliders early on with no issues, but that may be causing a problem now

[near escarp]

I doubt that is what would cause the world file size to be too big

[jagged glen]

for size reference, when inside the first room (at the top) it looks like this

some of the models have more polys than necessary, so I can try to tone those down, but none of them are massive poly counts (i don't think)

there's also 6 particle flows, but not doing anything crazy with those, just a subtle color and size change over the life of the particle, and not an inane amount generated

[bold ibex]

So playing with setting up door animations in a SDK3 world. I have them working, but when tested they are only local. How does one set these global?

[near escarp]

Is there anything in your world that the filesize could be very large without you being aware of it ?

[jagged glen]

I dont believe so, but I will check.

[near escarp]

I'd suggest checking your whole project folder with a software like glary utilities or something, so that you can see if there's anything extravagant

[near escarp]

#udon-general

[jagged glen]

Ok i will google that. Thank you.

[tepid tangle]

hi so i have this model from the asset store and in the unity preview the door is open, but in game its closed and the player just kinda goes through it in vrchat.
how do i make it so that when the player gets near the door it plays the open animation? (im using sdk 2.0)

[near escarp]

OnEnterTrigger > Animation Trigger on your parameter in your animator animation transition

[tepid tangle]

it still wont open T_T

[near escarp]

Is your layer correct on your trigger object ?

[tepid tangle]

uhhh wdym im lost lol

this is what the thing looks like if that helps

[near escarp]

Layers is set to default

So it'll collide with other default layers

You, as a player, are on the Player layer

[tepid tangle]

should i set it to local player?

actually player would make more sense lol

should i change it to that?

[near escarp]

Yeah, you're PlayerLocal

[tepid tangle]

ok lemme try this

[near escarp]

If you want it to trigger just for you, keep that

if you want it both for you and others, you want PlayerLocal and Player

[tepid tangle]

ahhhh i tried it and it still wont open T_T

i think this may be a problem with this though, but does this look right??

[mild spade]

You seem to be calling an empty trigger name on your animator, so nothing will change on your animator.

[tepid tangle]

what do i put in the trigger then?

[near escarp]

the name of your parameter

[mild spade]

You put the same trigger name you use on the animator parameter used to transition from the closed state to the open state. In this image for example, triggers have circular shape button. (they are case sensitive)

[near escarp]

What's in your animator ?

[tepid tangle]

ohhh ok lemme look

[near escarp]

Ah yeah that's probably too much, you just need the door open and close, and transition back when someone leaves the trigger

[proven glade]

I seem to be having issues

even though all I did was drag and drop into my scene lol

anyone know how to fix?

[near escarp]

Do you have his prefab in your assets ?

[pure kraken]

yes

[near escarp]

In the correct spot ? Does he have documentation to read ?

[pure kraken]

yes and yes, though the documentation is standard, nothing specific. "drag and drop into your scene and then you are done"

[near escarp]

What about the files themselves though, can you take a screenshot of your asset hierarchy ?

[pure kraken]

that's all there is to this asset

[near escarp]

that's your scene hierarchy

Assets is where your folders are

[tropic warren]

I am currently using "Text Mesh" for a banner of sorts in my world, but it seems to bleed through everything. Is there a way to stop that? Cause I can see it through anyone standing in front of it. If there is another option, I am all for it.

[near escarp]

Even after going in play mode ?

[near escarp]

?

[tropic warren]

What more do you want to know?

[near escarp]

Did you try to enter and exit play mode ?

[tropic warren]

Are you talking to me? Cause if so, the issue isn't just in Unity. As I mentioned, people in avatars that stand in front of it IN VRCHAT it shows through them, and they are in front of it. I can go even in the other room and I can see the writing through the wall.

[near escarp]

Which shader are you using ?

[tepid tangle]

ok so i got it to open the door so im assuming the proximity goes super far out, so if thats the case how do i change the distance the player needs to be for the animation to play?

[near escarp]

proximity is your collider

[tropic warren]

I don't think you can help me if you don't know how Text Mesh works... but thanks anyways

[tepid tangle]

wait im bad at explaining sorry lol ok better detail
the door just stays open when i playtest the world

[near escarp]

What does your scene setup look like ?

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

And add this to your project to avoid wasting your time

[tepid tangle]

do you want a screenshot?

[near escarp]

Ok so first, you shouldn't be using this to trigger anything

Make an actual child gameobject with a box collider set to trigger, and move your trigger component over there

[tepid tangle]

ok ignore me being dumb i barely know how to use unity but do i drag the vrc trigger script into the box collider-

or do i do it in whatever this is

SJNAJHSDHBFNVA sorry im dumb lol

[near escarp]

No, that's just your mesh with the animator, it doesn't matter

You just want another empty game object below that has both the vrc trigger, same one as you have now, and a box collider that people will walk in and out of

[tepid tangle]

ohhh like a hitbox?

do i just slap the components into the empty game object?

[near escarp]

yes

[tepid tangle]

ok did more testing
box collider makes the player stop and all the doors are still stuck open T_T

[near escarp]

Did you set it to IsTrigger and changed the layer ?

[tepid tangle]

heres ny scene too

[tepid tangle]

where do i check for istrigger

ohhh

wait i found ti

it*

i can go through the door now but it still is stuck open (ignore background noise im in vc)

oh yeah idk if i sent this but heres this if that helps

[near escarp]

Yeah, you don't have an OnExitTrigger

You should have two parameters

doorOpen and doorClose

And you trigger each independently

With the same trigger box

door_1_closed > door_1_open > door_1_closed

[tepid tangle]

ok so this is happening now LMAo

[near escarp]

That means your transitions don't have a parameter

[tepid tangle]

lemme add a condition and set it to false on it hopefully that will work ajsdnjhfdsg

ok nvm that didnt fix it

[tepid tangle]

what do i do for that lol

[near escarp]

You set the condition

In the transition between your two animations

[tepid tangle]

oh, i did that but the doors are just stuck looping over and over ajsndfgjnsdafg

its stuck either opening or closing

[near escarp]

Can you screenshot your animator and trigger setup again ?

[tepid tangle]

transition from closed to open > character nearby is set to true > open to close > character nearby is set to false (same for close to closed)

\

[near escarp]

you can't have both

Animations triggers don't work that way

Your current parameter is a bool

You need a trigger

Sorry for not noticing in your previous screenshots

Once you fix that you'll be good

[tepid tangle]

haha ur fine

where do i put the trigger?

like a component?

or in the animator tab

[near escarp]

It's your parameter

Trigger is a type

same way you created your character_nearby

[tepid tangle]

wait im so lost hang on

[tepid tangle]

ok am i supposed to look in the animator or scene window ahHHH sorry im stupid when it comes to this

[near escarp]

Nonono, you've already done everything except making two new animator parameters

Once you have two new parameters called doorOpen and doorClosed, you can use them for your animation transitions

But those animator parameters need to be triggers, not bools

[tepid tangle]

ok

do i delete everything and make a new slate??

or

whatever these things are called i think thats what ur talking about

[bitter idol]

ok so question, theres a website that lets me look at the statistics of worlds on vrchat, and looking at my own worlds it says i get 96 or so visitors a day, but every day in vrchat i maybe see like 2 people in there? where are these 94 other people? is the website wrong or does vrchat only show people in there that are in the same region/ping zone (for lack of better word) as you? is it possible japanese users are in my world and i dont know?

ive been told my avatars are more popular with japanese users due to them being a niche thing

[proven glade]

should I combine meshes that I plan to have the same texture or like is it okay to combine meshes with different textures or could I combine textures? ive never done map making with blender before

[near escarp]

Nope, that's your animation state

The parameters are the list on the left, where character_nearby is

Earlier you created that parameter, and chose bool instead of trigger

[cerulean echo]

also he should look that he not have the animation loopet on the animation him self also he should change the trigger he got mixet layers no idea what he have enable ther also should be only playerlocal

ofc a bool would be better

[tepid tangle]

WAITTT im literally blind ok

[near escarp]

Well, if the animation doesn't loop then it's the same

[tepid tangle]

playtesting it rn, i changed it to trigger and it still did this, im gonna try bool again rq tho

yeah they both still do this either way

[near escarp]

Can you show me your animator and your transitions ?

[tepid tangle]

currently its set to trigger but i can change it back to bool if you want (either way it does this lol)

(when i did it i deleted the trigger and added the bool)

and used the same name as the trigger)

[near escarp]

ok you still haven't made trigger parameters

[tepid tangle]

or sorry i meant it was a bool rn lol

i did the trigger earlier tho and it still did this aasdjngnj

[near escarp]

Yeah try again with two triggers

[tepid tangle]

wait i add two of them??

er sorry have two of them?

[near escarp]

parameter triggers, yes

[tepid tangle]

ok hang on lol

[near escarp]

and delete the one you have right now, the player_nearby

[tepid tangle]

do i keep them both on like this

[near escarp]

No

[tepid tangle]

oh ok i deleted the one

[near escarp]

You just want two, one for door close and one for door open

and you use those two for your transition back and forth

[tepid tangle]

ok so one of them will be door open and the other will be door close?

like this?

(and then on transition this)

[tepid tangle]

update, got it to kind of work. it detects when the player is near it now and the door opens, but its looping the animation once it opejns

opens*

[near escarp]

Make sure the other condition is set to door close

and that the animation isn't set to loop

[tepid tangle]

is that what the loop time thing is?

[near escarp]

yep

[tepid tangle]

ohhh ok lemme disable em

alr so its finally not looping, but the door stays open lol

[bitter idol]

so...... nobody knows?

[near escarp]

Now you need an OnExitTrigger

[tepid tangle]

i doubt it but there might be one

[tepid tangle]

ill let u know if i find one :)

[tepid tangle]

do i transition over to the exit thing?

[near escarp]

Not really, it also has private instances that you can't see which may have people in

[bitter idol]

I thought that would show numbers in the private counter?

[near escarp]

and use your doorClose parameter trigger as a condition yeah !

[near escarp]

It does, but if it's 100 in a day, then it could be a lot during JP times and then very few outside of that timezone

[bitter idol]

hmm who knows, thanks for the reply though

[tepid tangle]

how do i know if the condition is being used? i have the transition set to use doorClose when going from door opened to door close, and door close to the fully closed state

and then opening it is the other way around

should i somehow add an extra trigger to the vrc trigger thing?

[tepid tangle]

ok i kinda got it but aaAAA the door doesnt close once you enter the room, despite leaving the box colliders hitbox on entering it.

[gloomy heart]

https://i.gyazo.com/908005afba2a11395f532f1baadd3a7c.mp4

i feel like making cinematic's for warhammer 40k

this is only an update to my map lol

[near escarp]

feel free to post more screenshots of what you currently have setup and we can fix it

[silent night]

How big is the avatar height collider again for VRChat?

2M?

[near escarp]

yep

[raven sable]

any tutorial i can follow this for world shader attemps

https://github.com/llealloo/vrc-udon-audio-link/tree/master/Docs

i see all mainly on avatars

[gaunt minnow]

where do i go to change and tweak general settings for audio like Set Voice Lowpass

or is this something i have to do on every player through udon?

[loud saffron]

anyone know why all my scripts have disappeared? I have only just realised they have been transforming, over a few saves and publishings (and one reinstall of the SDK and Udon#) into nothing. Going back over backups, first, only serialised versions are shown and no "open Udon Graph" option, but now nothing. I can't go from the last backup, as it is far too long ago, as this has crept up on me slowly.

now:

older project - only see serialised version:

[unique reef]

Is anyone here

I need help with something

Ping me if you’re available

[jagged glen]

@near escarp thank you for your help yesterday, I was able to get it uploaded by getting rid of a few high poly models and making my texture maps smaller when I could

[buoyant ledge]

I'd be keen to know this as well, in my case, only some of the udon behavior components reverted to their default state, some were fine. I'm like....

[solid atlas]

question

how does one do water

that if your head is below the water level its murky

[unkempt turtle]

post processing volume

[tired herald]

Hello in my wold when I join I can only see out of 1 eye and the other nothing loads any tips?

[unkempt turtle]

do you have post processing in your world?

[tired herald]

Hi im not sure this is my first time doing this can you please elaborate

[unkempt turtle]

did you import Post Processing Stack and have set up a Post Processing Volume and Post Processing Layer?

[tired herald]

I have not imported a post processing stack is there a package I get off the vrc website or somewhere else

[unkempt turtle]

no, its not on the vrchat website and you dont need it. it was just a possibility if you used it that it could mess with your view

[tired herald]

Ah ok

Any other solution if not it's fine im sure I will eventually figure it out.

[tepid tangle]

hey hi ok so.
i want to make a video player.
how do i make those things that load links into a video player? is that even possible in sdk 2.0?

i cant find any tutorials on them unless its in udon and they are like over an hour long and ahHHhh i dont want to scrap my world and completely redo it in 3.0 T_T

[pure kraken]

there are plenty of video players available

www.vrcprefabs.com

@tepid tangle

[tepid tangle]

ahh thank you sm!!

lemme check this out

[tepid tangle]

errr can you link me with one that works with 2.0? all the things im seeing are using udon and using 3.0

[pure kraken]

@tepid tangle there is a tab at the top for 3.0 and 2.0 assets

[tepid tangle]

on the site?

[pure kraken]

on the database

[tepid tangle]

site looks like this for me lol

ohh

OHHHHH wait ok thanks lol sorry im dumb

[pure kraken]

lol you are all good

[worthy relic]

hey, so what would you guys recommend someone use who is more used to the older vrchat world building sdk to use. i wana be able to have "triggers" bounding boxes that do diffrent things but im not familure with udon at all

[desert python]

could import udonsharp and this : https://github.com/hoke946/Trigger2to3 and see what happens

[worthy relic]

hmm ok, il give it a try

what is diffrent about that vs the sdk2?

[desert python]

i guess alot? this is supposed to help mimic sdk2 but itll still be set up as if it was udon

[worthy relic]

ok, that kinda helps? thanks :>

[desert python]

sorry lol. udon is going to feel super different no matter what because it involves scripting and not triggers anymore

[worthy relic]

yeah, i figured that. :T i just need to stop being stuck in what ive been used to for the past few years in vrchat and get used to the new stuff

thanks though

[shell meadow]

What shader/post processing effect is this in this world? Silvers Eden by Sarahdoge. I've noticed a similar shader in a Japanese world.

It emulates volumetric fog god-rays in realtime. I really want to play with this.

[tepid tangle]

uhhhh i reloaded my world files and this happened T_T

[near escarp]

https://s-ilent.booth.pm/items/2658287

[shell meadow]

thank you so much!

[near escarp]

Check your console for errors

[tepid tangle]

aaa

ajsndfkjdasng what do i do bc ive been working on this world for ages and ahHHhhh

[near escarp]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk#sdk2

Did you reimport all your files for a specific reason ?

[tepid tangle]

uhh i dont remember doing that? it may have been a file from a pack i threw onto here from this prefabs website

i removed all things relating to the sdk and reimported it though, im gonna see if that fixes anything

[near escarp]

You followed the steps above ?

[tepid tangle]

yeah i did something similar to that a few mins ago

ok yeah its working now!!

[near escarp]

[pure kraken]

is there some sort of tutorial or guide on global synced toggles?

[near escarp]

in udon ?

[pure kraken]

aye

[near escarp]

#udon-general

[worthy relic]

umm when i press build and test nothing happens? is something wrong in sdk2?

i dotn get any errors like i need to add a spawn or anything

[bold ibex]

any1 can help me with water shader? or can i use unity 2020 version? i cant find a good (and free) water shader in asset store

[worthy relic]

nvm i got it working

[errant beacon]

You need to use Unity 2018.4.20f1 - otherwise, might want to look at Silent's water shader? o:
https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/clear-water

[bold ibex]

thanks is there a tutorial i can follow? i have never played with it before

[errant beacon]

likely somewhere online! Generally, import the shader and apply it to a material, fill out the texture slots with the provided/custom textures, apply that material to a quad/plane and make sure that your depth buffer is activated (i.e have a directional light or some other depth buffer activator in your scene) o:

[bold ibex]

thanks ill try

sorry to ask again, but is the shader called silent for u? and witch one are u using?

[errant beacon]

sorry, clarify? o:
Download the repository, unzip it, and place the Shader folder into your Assets folder - from there, make a material and set it's shader to the water shader, fill out the texture slots, and make sure the depth buffer is activated

[bold ibex]

the only shader i can find in unity after i placed the folder in unity, is called silent

[errant beacon]

try that?

[bold ibex]

looks really bad

[errant beacon]

yup, that
Opaque isn't transparent, there's some other options

[bold ibex]

witch one is the best?

[errant beacon]

vv much depends on your project/build platform, run through them o:

[bold ibex]

most of them are see through

[errant beacon]

as in, completely transparent/invisible? If so, enable your depth buffer/add a directional light

[worthy relic]

whats the problem?

oh, have you tried messing the the albedo alpha channel?

[bold ibex]

im really sorry again, but i have really not tried this before

cant find the buffer thingy

[worthy relic]

oof yeah i have no clue im out of the convo sorry

[errant beacon]

The depth buffer isn't an option in the shader, it's an option in your project - add a directional light to your scene, or some other depth buffer activator
and you're fine! o:

[bold ibex]

thanks

[worthy relic]

random question, im lazy right. you think i could get away with just useing a door model twice without animating it from room to room so i dont have to make a entire model just walls on each room?

and just make "player" click the door to go to next room?

[short gulch]

Yeah that's easy to do. Make the initial one, then drag it from your hierarchy to your assets and it'll turn it into a prefab that you can just drag anywhere.

[worthy relic]

ah i see

thanks :>

[bold ibex]

btw is there a way that i can make the water move?

[short gulch]

That'd be dependant on the shader.

[worthy relic]

move the wave scroll x and y

[bold ibex]

u cant get a shader that already moves?

[worthy relic]

i think your does, you just need to move the sliders for scroll x scroll y in the materiel. i could be wrong though

curently in the photo you posted its set to 0 on all

[bold ibex]

what should i set it on?

[worthy relic]

whatever you think looks best i guess?

[bold ibex]

huh?

[worthy relic]

ignore previus post srry also working on a project and looked at my shaders mb

[bold ibex]

ooh

btw i cant get in playmode any idea why?

[worthy relic]

what does your console say when you hit play?

[fiery creek]

im trying to add music to my world but it will only play with "play on awake on, but all of them play at once im trying to make them play with a push of a button but they dont play when i push the button, what am i doing wrong?

[worthy relic]

honestly i have no clue about that one

[bold ibex]

hmm weird

[worthy relic]

let me make sure im understand this right, you want to play one song when a player hits a button?

but its playing them all on start?

[fiery creek]

yes

[worthy relic]

ok are you on sdk3 or 2?

[fiery creek]

sdk2

[worthy relic]

ok the way ive done that in the past was make each button "turn on and off" each song

let me make a quick photo

[fiery creek]

the button triggers a individual song

[worthy relic]

yeah, just make sure to turn off the other ones when you enable the song you want

you can do this on the same press

[fiery creek]

but they wont play unless i have play on awake on, but when i load in they all play at once

[pallid crescent]

I know sometimes people link stuff from github, but how do you take that and put it into your unity project?

[worthy relic]

you have to turn off all the songs in the hierarchy

[fiery creek]

how i do that

[worthy relic]

make sure all songs have the box unchecked

[fiery creek]

okok imma test

[worthy relic]

what your trying to do is enable the song object when you press the button atached to that song. a good tip i use is when you enable one song also have that toggle off all the other songs

[errant beacon]

bit of a late reply, but set the Scroll X/Scroll Y and the Scroll Multiplier values in the wave settings to be different

[worthy relic]

let me know how it works

[fiery creek]

yea it worked thank you alot

[worthy relic]

np :>

[bold ibex]

so i have a model in my scene that refuses to move no matter what i do or where i import it

all the props can move except the environment

even when put into gameobjects it refuses to move with them

is this behaviour normal in unity?

[near escarp]

Does the model settings have read/write enabled in your assets

[bold ibex]

?

somehow they all use combined mesh

any object from the scene has the mesh attached to it on export

[near escarp]

Did you check the model settings ?

[bold ibex]

i got it working in the end

new shaders and all

[gray sleet]

I have text in my world and the text shows through walls. why? please help

[gray sleet]

sorry for ping, but do you know how to fix that? ^

[near escarp]

Check your model settings, in your assets

[gray sleet]

model settings?

its the basic 3d Text unity gives.

[near escarp]

?

[gray sleet]

the 3D Text.

[near escarp]

What about the 3d text ?

Did you press play at any time ?

[gray sleet]

that is the 3d text. create, 3d, 3d text

and ye siv pressed play

[near escarp]

Getting in and out of play mode should fix it, if it doesn't i'm not sure

[gray sleet]

it doesnt. text still shows through walls

[near escarp]

I guess you'll need to find a different shader than the unity one

[random owl]

http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=3DText
If you use 3d text you need to use this shader

[gray sleet]

iv been trying to follow that but it still downt work for me

[gray sleet]

this is what i get

[random owl]

If you follow the instructions it should work, in any case you might be better to learn how to use Text Mesh Pro

[gray sleet]

iv followed the instructions exact, but they seam to have objects or files i dont

is there a prefab i can just import and have it work?

[random owl]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@1.5/manual/index.html

[gray sleet]

too complicated XD. I found a package that works wonders. BetterFont.
XD not gunna go through a mess

[plush walrus]

does anyone know where i can get a free world model?

[proven glade]

Progress

[gloomy salmon]

how do i make quest compatible windows/glass? how is it done normally

or is there a cutout shader i can use for quest worlds?

[subtle hinge]

i am bgm creator anyone want me to make one for their world dm

[silent plinth]

anyone familiar with reflection probes because mine arent awakening on play but are functioning if turned off and on

[tardy ridge]

You can custom make a very basic glass material for quest build. The SDK will still suggest not using any transparent objects in quest build for performance optimization. But It's okay to have some, won't be a big deal.

[lament zephyr]

I love this picture

[unkempt turtle]

please tell me you have a very good reason to use Real time reflection probes, cuz they take a ton of performance if not done correctly

[tardy ridge]

That question seems a little bit confusing. But most of the time we will use the bake reflection probes instead of real-time/mixed reflection probes to save performance for both PC and Quest users, like Izu mentioned, they are quite expensive to run in real-time. So based on your question I guess it's just you didn't bake them that's why they were not working?

A very good place to use a bake reflection probe is mirror placeholder. Clearly shows there's a mirror without costing much performance.

[bold ibex]

is there a way to make spacial audio 2d

so only inside the sphere but flat audio?

[near escarp]

Just change the curve to 2D at the distance you want

[bold ibex]

it stays 3d if i do sadly

[fiery creek]

hey how do you make an item pickupable?
\

[near escarp]

You add the pickup component on the object

[fiery creek]

wheres that? asset store? or built in unity

[near escarp]

The vrchat sdk

[bold ibex]

can someone explain to me why this is forced on sometimes

[near escarp]

That depends on your curve i believe

[bold ibex]

im just trying to make 2d spacial audio

so when you turn it doesnt change

ut every time i try it makes the 2d audio universal to the whole world

why??

[near escarp]

You should check this world out to understand https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_40ba745f-3360-4e50-8e88-aba1b56ffaa3

[bold ibex]

why

this should be super simplistic

to have spacial audio but flat 2d

not 3d for tracks that werent meant to be

so when i turn, one ear does not go quiet

[sacred warren]

Is it possible to sync multiple video players to each other so that they run at exactly the same timestamp?

[desert python]

@sacred warrencan you elab?

[sacred warren]

So say you wanted to have two video players run at the same time, at the exact same timestamps. So when one is at 1:32:53 the other one would be at that exact timestamp. An example would be to have the video and audio as separate videos, but they'd still be synced as the times are synced.

[desert python]

well... ye, you can send a custem event name to change the timestamp

use server time to sync it up better

@sacred warrentheres a cool VP that does this out of the box you can probs just rework to do whatever you were going for with udon

[sacred warren]

Sounds good, thanks.

[iron verge]

hey, i just finished a world in Unity, how can i get clear to put it on VRChat?

[proven glade]

more progress but should I combine all of this into a few meshes as possible or will that create issues?

[errant beacon]

Import the VRChat SDK from https://vrchat.com/home/download and make sure that you're at least User rank ingame, if you want to upload your world publicly o:

[restive thorn]

Does anyone have a good size ref model for world making? I keep having to constantly resize the model when I build and test in unity

[errant beacon]

The player collider is always 2 meters tall and 1 meter wide regardless of avatar height, and your doorways should have a bit more than 2 meters of clearance, the default Unity cube is 1 meter in all directions and 1.75 cubes would be the average US height

[fiery creek]

anyone know why this isnt pickupable?

[heady otter]

So I'm creating a world and whenever I build and test I can't move and its very glitchy anyone know why that could be happening

[errant beacon]

Add a collider component

[fiery creek]

is it in the sdk

[errant beacon]

Import https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and see what it's world debugger says? o:

[errant beacon]

That's a part of Unity itself lol

add a 3D collider component of some type (cube/cylinder or preferably not mesh collider) and see if that works

[heady otter]

where do I add this? Same place I put the vrcsdk?

[errant beacon]

Import the .unitypackage, it'll just go into the base Assets directory

[heady otter]

ok

[fiery creek]

okay i got it, thank you :)

[heady otter]

@errant beacon how do I use it though

[errant beacon]

At the top of Unity, click the VRWorld Toolkit tab and open the world debugger from there

[heady otter]

oh ok

[analog parcel]

Does anyone know why charecter rigs in worlds end up increasing the download size? and is there any way to compress that?

[random owl]

Most likely bad import settings on the model, import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger from the top bar for better overview
http://toolkit.onevr.dev/

[analog parcel]

I do remember this prevented e from uploading the world before, but ye will see if this works.

[random owl]

Prevented you from uploading?

[analog parcel]

Ya I used a vr world toolkit and it caused compiler errors

it may not now if it has been updated

[random owl]

Either your SDK was outdated or something was wrong in the project I always test against the latest SDK versions and update if something is going wrong

[analog parcel]

ah oki ya last time I used it was an older version, I will look into it for a future project to see if it helps

[neat zodiac]

Trying to update a project from SDK2 to SDK3 and getting a lot of errors.

I delete the SDK folder, as well as the meta file. Closed and reopened the Unity project. No errors, and all the old SDK Triggers are just listed as empty scripts.

When I add in the SDK3 I get all the above errors sadly, anyone else have this happen? (This is the latest world SDK as well)

[errant beacon]

Go to Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other Settings and change the Scripting Define Symbols field to VRC_SDK_VRCSDK3? o:

[neat zodiac]

@errant beacon Oh my goodness, thank you so much! They are all cleared and working!!

[errant beacon]

yw!

[heady otter]

anytime I try to make my spawnpoint the debugger keeps saying there isn't a colider under whatever I put there even though I've made it into an actual object and put it on a floor

[errant beacon]

Is there a collider component on the object under your spawnpoint? o:

[heady otter]

idk

how do I check

[errant beacon]

Click the gameobject and see if there's a collider component - if not, click Add Component, type collider into the searchbar and add a 3D collider (box, cylinder, or mesh)

[neat zodiac]

Here is an image related to ^ this help.

[heady otter]

@errant beacon can you hop onto a vc with me and walk me through it?

[errant beacon]

would prefer not to, sorry - click the floor object, look in the inspector for the Add Component button and click on it. That'll open up a menu with a search bar, type collider into that search bar, and add a box collider component

def refer to Rackshaw's image above on what the box collider component looks like o:

[heady otter]

ohhhh I thought you meant the actul empty box thing where you would spawn

[errant beacon]

oop, sorry lol

[heady otter]

IT WORKED

[errant beacon]

cool! c:

[heady otter]

Thank you so much

[errant beacon]

I need help with lighting all my walls are completely black even though I’ve put teal textures on them I’m assuming it has something to do with lighting if anyone can hop into a vc and help me It’d be greatly appreciated

Where can I find that prefab where you can tweak the placement of a video screen?

[harsh gulch]

So im having an issue. I'm trying to upload a world, that i intend on uploading, testing, then taking it down (for reasons of keeping it secretive to the group im making it for. But for some reason, it will upload, and will say "It has been uploaded as a private world, and can be found under the "mine" section" and despite the message, it will not show up, (note: the world im trying to uploaded had a black thumbnail, and was titled test)

(if someone can help out, please ping me.)

[random owl]

Main reason that would usually happen with how you described it would be that you are not using the correct version of Unity

[harsh gulch]

That could be possible, to double check, I am using "Unity 2018.4.20f1", am I out of date?

[random owl]

If it's that exact one it would be right

[harsh gulch]

Yes that is the version im using.

[random owl]

If you DM me the world id I can check if there's any other reasons why it wouldn't show up

[harsh gulch]

Sure, give me just a moment.

[bold ibex]

Anyone can explain to me how to create UI that can copy the link, without being deleted on vrchat?

how does this world

[frosty goblet]

oh shit that's rad, I've never seen that before

[gloomy salmon]

ok but how do i make a synced toggle with sdk3 (so like, a synced mirror toggle) and also the toggle object is synced itself because it's a pickup

[desert python]

if i recall. they use a text box you can normally edit, but i think they remove navigation so you acc cant edit it, so you can only copy it

[weary hornet]

Hey, curious, how would you upload a world to vrchat?

[desert python]

get unity 2018.4.20f1, get the latest sdk 3, import the sdk into new unity project, add a plane, add "vrcworld", open sdk panel, and then upload

[weary hornet]

And where is it hosted?
Does VRChat host it?

[desert python]

ye

[weary hornet]

Oh, that's nice
Wait, how would setup a private room?

[desert python]

theres a tick mark for "community labs", just dont tick mark it and it will upload privately

[spark portal]

Hiya, I was looking to create a waterfall similar to that of the black cat. Do they just use the water from the unity asset pack? Or is it something more special going on?

If I can get by without making my own that'd be great lol. It's a vrchat world not something for my own game.

[frosty goblet]

Does anybody know how well optimized in terms of size terrain objects are in Unity?

I had a friend give me a terrain he made in Blender to use temporarily, but it's like 10 MB and not that big 🤔 are unity's terrain objects more opitmized?

[bold ibex]

i doubt anything in unity is optimized, with the amount of compressing and decompressing the hold on machine does, it makes me wonder how the vrc devs didnt give up while making vrchat

my world is just 24.53mb and still takes 10min to update both quest and pc assuming unity doesnt stall or have a wierd error during the upload

ive seen it all at this point, it fails to upload because some file magically becomes null in the console, it reaches upload screen but you cant click the checkbox, it uplaods with no progress bar, the file signature fails, etc.

its a wonder anyone can get anything uploaded with how error prone it really is

am i the only one who gets this stuff?

[cold cove]

lol thats my world, you can set an input field to read-only, there's a checkbox for it

[frosty goblet]

"it isn't optimized" doesn't answer my question lol, I meant more is it it better compressed than using an external model

[cold cove]

my upload has like 1/3rd chance of crashing yea

it helps a lot to keep the unity window in focus while uploading and not doing anything else on your PC

for some reason, updating your world icon significantly increases the chance that the upload will crash

[jolly gazelle]

I'm trying to create a new version of an existing world, but I'm having some trouble. I created a package from the original world. I then imported that package into a new project in Unity. Then I made the changes I wanted. I expected that when I decided to "Build and Publish" it would give me the upload screen that you get for a new world, but it definitely implied that I was uploading this world again. It wasn't the screen you get when you upload a world for the first time. I don't want to overwrite the existing version of my world. I want this to be a new instance.

Where do I make the appropriate changes to tell VRChat SDK to treat this as a new project?

[frosty goblet]

If you go to your VRCWorld object, you need to go to the "blueprint" section and click "detach"

As long as the blueprint ID is the same, it'll upload to that ID

Detaching and attempting to upload without an ID will automatically generate a new one and that will be a new project/world

[jovial charm]

so im having an issue with the qv pen ui in one specific world scene, the ui is just showing like this, this is without baked lights, with baked lights it just shows completely black, idk what could have caused this, im just updating the world to udon, and i properly setup baked lights with bakery but i dont think its a lighting issue since i cleared all baked lights and it looks like that

ohhh maybe its the shader on it? it looks like its using vrchat/sprite/diffuse?

[left kestrel]

does anyone know how to enable jumping in SDK3, all i can find on google just refers me to the VRC_Player Mods component which isnt there

[random owl]

Use the VRCWorld prefab included in the SDK that has everything setup for you already

[left kestrel]

i have it in my scene but i still cant jump

[random owl]

What values do you have set on the udon behaviour it has?

[bold ibex]

Thanks to you now I have the nice UI for my Venice map!

[left kestrel]

@random owl thanks for the help man it worked when i just replaced it with a new one but i found a new problem lol. the world works fine in the test build but when i publish it and try to load in i just get booted back to my home world both in vr and desktop.

[random owl]

Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger and see if there's any red errors
http://toolkit.onevr.dev/

[bold ibex]

so i have two issues in my world atm, the spacial audio and chairshttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/849766453434515456/854101128879144960/unknown.png

[left kestrel]

You're an actual saint mate, thank you so much.

[bold ibex]

how do i setup chairs

the sdk3 example seems to be broken

even the provided chair doesnt work

[spark portal]

Apparently there are 6 provided and only VRCchair3 works

@torn flare Is working on our world atm so I got the answer from him :p

[bold ibex]

ah, i still have a lot to add to mine X-x

its a huge project

[spark portal]

Looks like temtem 👀

We're working on our own bar/pub

[torn flare]

cafe

as well

[spark portal]

/cafe yes

But that was the secret 👀

That's our secret formula

[torn flare]

Not sure you know what a formula is

but sure

[bold ibex]

can you unmerge after you merged items with probuilder? If not, guess I'll have to remember on the next world not to merge things until the end haha.

no my map comes from megaman battle network 3

its not tem tem whatever that is lol

[spark portal]

[bold ibex]

how do i fix this https://gyazo.com/9540066e1630a7badb6f37ef3905427d

[random owl]

Might want to try deleting the SDK and reimporting after

[cold cove]

yay thats great to hear c:

if you want your text to look extra clean I recommend using text mesh pro instead of unity's own text component 😄

also gives better performance but difference is negligible for small UIs

[quiet iris]

thanks for info 🙂

[proven glade]

for some reason when I search unary nothing comes up

[mild spade]

You need to drag it from the bool output then type "unary"

[random owl]

Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger and see if there's any red errors

thanks

For any future Udon questions use #udon-general instead 🙂

What do I do about unity not liking a certain ammount of lights on one surface?

[random owl]

You learn how to do baked lighting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKgUJccjWRU

[jolly gazelle]

You're awesome. Thank you!

[frosty goblet]

o/

[bold ibex]

I gotta watch that, my baked lights end up being like 5% intensity vs before baking them. Although I'm thinking something else is up because I have some weird purple light in room and a purple line outside in the skybox ever since I added the pool table. But it kinda adds a nice ambience so meh

[bold ibex]

lol i just use a quad and forget unitys altogether, since i can freely edit my image in gimp

since you can make canvas size same as your image there is no distortion

[frosty goblet]

but that's more work 👀

[bold ibex]

not really

no more work than texturing a plane

[open thicket]

anyone else familiar with quad remesher or any other retopo programs?

I've tried to retopo a sculpt from quad remesher but I just now read it doesn't preserve UVs 😦

[near escarp]

Simplygon does i think ?

[open thicket]

free or paid?

[near escarp]

most likely paid, i'm not aware of any other solution that may keep UVs

[kind gust]

hey uh im making a sdk 3 world and it wont let me add a scene descriptor

i cant find it

[tardy ridge]

Hello, is there any function that I can use to detect if the localplayer is using a quest device?

[kind gust]

so idk how to fix this

it wont let me get to my splash screen

it dosent show up

and i cant play the scene

;-;

and i cant restart my workd cuzz i dont have a back up

and i put lots of work into it

[light carbon]

This usually occurs when you have console errors. Fixing those errors should resolve the issue with the SDK doing that.

[kind gust]

how do i fix it tho

i deleted the sdk and put it back in but its that same error

@light carbon

[light carbon]

Yeah you most likely have compiler errors, those would need to be resolved.

[kind gust]

idk how to do thatt

aaaa

how do i fix thoes

[random owl]

You would need to show what the errors are from your console

[bold ibex]

part of my world is invisible only when i hit play or upload

what did i do wrong

had to redo material

.>

[gloomy salmon]

so, do most of you map in 2018.4.20 or do u map in later versions and then just import that into the older one?

stuff like the gpu lightmapper and other features don't work too well with this version and i was wondering if you can just do those in later versions and then import everything back

[near escarp]

I would highly recommend using the version indicated in the documentation, because some assets and processes are not compatible with 2018 if you make the project in 2020 or 2021.

If lightmapping is your concern, if you have an Nvidia GPU i would recommend getting Bakery, as it will drastically increase the speed of it, as well as the quality

[gloomy salmon]

Well, its a 960 😅
what is this "bakery" thing you speak of tho

Nvm i found it, pog

[harsh wagon]

Does anyone have a good fake rock texture?

I want to try making a water park map, so I need a texture that looks like those fake fibreglass rocks

alternatively, how could I edit a rock texture to make it look like the fake fibreglass rocks?

for context:

[fallen wave]

prolly by using a textured brush, and just splattering pale orange and off-white all over it

[harsh wagon]

I was thinking of using a cloud texture on top of a normal rock texture

but I'm not sure how well that would work

[fallen wave]

might work, it’s worth a shot

[fossil vale]

Any1 that knows why a world crashes? Or atleast know common mistakes that cause this to happen?

[tardy ridge]

For me it's either infinity loop or null-exceptional errors, sometimes performance lag spike will also cause that.

[frosty goblet]

@lethal sapphire you want IsKinematic to be on

Kinematic doesn’t make sense to me because afaik scientifically that means “it can move” but for unity that means it doesn’t move at all

[remote vigil]

any tutorials on how to toggle mesh colliders for 2.0 worlds? The way im thinking is to disable mesh colliders on the objects in question, make an invisible duplicate, then link the duplicate to the button

if theres a more efficient way, i'd love to hear it

[near escarp]

SetComponentActive > Collider component

[remote vigil]

Thanks!

Hey for the AritechTV does anyone know the correct way to have a video already playing automatically in the world?

does anyone know how to make an object that you can picked up in game snap to a set position untill removed?

[velvet basin]

i have like 9 pickup objects in my world and 3 of them is dont want network sync position and rotation at all what ever i do i literally have same setup like the rest and this 3 is keeps being local im at the point where i have no clue left how to solve this issue. I have no error message or warning they have same components like other pickup objects and still not syncing. Any idea?

[kind gust]

how do i fix

if i click upload that error comes up

[bold ibex]

hi im having a problem to upload my world

this is what comes up when i try to upload it

[kind gust]

idk how to fix but your world looks nice

[bold ibex]

thanks

so here are the problems

[velvet basin]

Lightprobegroupcontrol is a 3rd party script from asset store as i know and you need to remove it when you finished since vrchat not whitelisted that script in order to make it work

aka Simple Light Probe Placer

@bold ibex ^

[kind gust]

idk whats happening i just wanna export my world

TwT

[random owl]

Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger and see if there's any red errors
http://toolkit.onevr.dev/

[random owl]

Simple light probe placer only runs in editor there's nothing on VRChat's side stopping it from running, it's just that it's completely deprecated and doesn't fully work with newer Unity versions throwing errors on building

[kind gust]

omgg i think it worked

thank youu

i was tryin to fix it all day

😁

anyone know any working lazer light prefabs for clubs?

So this just now started happening to me today. Whenever I try to upload a world (even just a scaled cube for the floor and the vrc world prefab), I get the "Last built VRCScene could not be found" error. My project contains just the sdk and it seems to happen on my other machine as well. The test build works fine but I can't upload because of this.

I have, the UnityEngine one i've never seen before

I'm trying trying to figure out how to make world game objects follow a player but I can't find a single tutorial on it and I don't even know where to begin. I thought it had something to do with Cameras but

[tardy owl]

So I have to ask, do people do World Commissions? Trying to make a world but it requires udon and I'm very bad at udon aa

[random owl]

A layouting error wouldn't stop a build from happening, can you check if build & test works?

[random owl]

SDK2 or SDK3?

[neon vapor]

it does

[random owl]

You can check here for once https://ask.vrchat.com/c/commissions/world-commissions/34

hi so im working on a world and it works amaizingly on pc but when i try to upload it to quest and i have removed everything that is not quest compatible i get this error

[tardy owl]

It doesn't let me make a new comment there so

Wait nv

I'm a fool

[random owl]

If that works it sounds like you have some character in the build name that the SDK doesn't handle properly. Change the company name and product name here to not contain any special characters and just letters.

[random owl]

SDK2 or SDK3? And what is the event handler on?

[neon vapor]

Looks like it was the "+" I never would've guessed. Thanks.

[bold ibex]

sdk2 and its the vrc_trigger thats what i see

[random owl]

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem 🤔

[bold ibex]

and when i do fix all it brings me to the vrc_event Handler

on my pens my toggles and my chairs

and my music

and it works on pc

the world so idk what to do cuz im still new to making worlds

[random owl]

Yeah that's normal with SDK2 but that happening on Android building isn't

Might want to try just fully reimporting the SDK first
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk#sdk2

[bold ibex]

am i going to need to restart everything? @random owl

[random owl]

No you just follow the instructions I linked

If it keeps happening would need to look into it further but I gotta hop out for a while so that's all instructions I can give right now

it worked thanks a lot

I have some chairs in my world that can be picked up (and doing the grab chair while sitting thing) but they do not respawn when it gets glitched out the walls and are not synced with everyone in the instance

Anyone have a fix to "failed to upload, File to big" - fyi when i run build and test runs fine at 78mb
