[south orbit]

u see this window

its 1 object total like urs right

but it has multiple materials in it right

[neat ravine]

too bad i can't duplicate it with like... just the bars being metallic

[south orbit]

white + transparency

[neat ravine]

yea

[south orbit]

so i made this object with ProBuilder from scratch which allows me ot do this

here i choose a part of the object in yellow marking if u can see it

now if i drag a material on that yellow marking

only that part will be textured / materialized

[neat ravine]

ooohhh

[south orbit]

like this example, i just dragged a random black texture on it, but u get the idea right

[neat ravine]

yeah

[south orbit]

and its 1 object only so that is pretty.. amazing i think personally

[neat ravine]

i think i'll have to save the advanced stuff for later since i just started lol

[south orbit]

tbh im only 2 months in, i have no education or nobody who taught me anything special like that, sure i had recommendations and responses on questions but thats about it (:

so with that said, i wouldnt say probuilder is advanced infact

[neat ravine]

oh wow

[south orbit]

u should experiement with it already if u arent tbh, u missing out if u ask me, but its entirely ur choice ofcourse

[neat ravine]

i'll save it for later, but i'll check it out some time

[south orbit]

i use both ProBuilder + ProGrids, they are free extensions of unity itself

[neat ravine]

ooo

[south orbit]

so another thing i can do is that

i do all my blender work in unity with it

[neat ravine]

ive only been doing this for like. 3? 4 days i think

[south orbit]

i can choose a side like this

[neat ravine]

oh i havent tried blender yet

[south orbit]

and drag it out like this just like in blender

but in unity

i can even insert loops to 'cut' it or make more markings to extrude / pull / form

u can choose sides like this

and drag them out like this

however u wanna form it

this is again another reason i love probuilder so much and cannot recommend it enough, like its so good

u could literally build a house from 1 cube only with probuilder in theory

[kind leaf]

sry only read part of that. You should try to recreate the frame in ProBuilder or Blender however, you can duplicate your frame, open the ProBuilder tool, and select Probuilderize. Then just select the glass faces in the face select mode and press detach. now you have two object 🙂

[south orbit]

u cannot do that with objects that isnt made in probuilder to begin with tho, he would have to seperate it in blender

[kind leaf]

sure you can

[south orbit]

since he aint using probuilder, nor that object was made in probuilder

how so ? i tried myself its literally impossible to use probuilder on objects that was not made to begin with from it

half the menu gets greyed out

[kind leaf]

Depends on the complexity and the shortcuts that were taken in the other modeling software, but i probuilderize just about everything to fix poor UV

[south orbit]

like the pics above i just shown with a square, its impossible to do with any object that came from prefabs or free assets etc

like

here's a very simple rug, it was free u know and

as u can see half the menu is greyed out, i cant extrude it, i cant insert loop edges, i cant choose sides to materialize

i basicly cant do any probuilder stuff o n it

[kind leaf]

becasuse you havent pressed probuilderize

its an icon in the menu.

[south orbit]

omgh i see now ye

[kind leaf]

🙂

[south orbit]

god dang so all i missed

is 1 button lmao

[neat ravine]

f

[south orbit]

that just makes probuilder so much even more better than it already is

[neat ravine]

that sounds useful tho

i can just import an object from unity?

[kind leaf]

Some object will break, most work perfectly. a window should be fine

[south orbit]

i mean its okay, is rather that i just skipped alot of opportunities on doing probuilder stuff on things i though i couldnt lol

[neat ravine]

also uhhh how do i make it so ppl can't walk through shit lol

[south orbit]

yeah i could imagine it depends on complexity ofcourse, its pretty standard with probuilder anyways like

if u make a cube and twist it even it becomes nearly too complex and overlays so ye

[south orbit]

u can import objects from the unity store yes, or else other places, u just drag it in and import it

[south orbit]

u put a mesh collider on it, prefferebly ppl says use box colliders, but i would only use that for squared objects, i mostly prefer mesh colliders

[neat ravine]

okay

would i add a component to it?

it's a model i downloaded

[south orbit]

yeh but make sure it doesnt have any either and make sure its like

completly unpacked, and like is the right part of it

sometimes if u apply a mesh collider to a group rather than the invidual object within the group, it can mess up

example lets say u got a bed, it has a frame object, a madress, a pillow, a blanket

so i would just put one on the frame, one on the madress

and not the whole group, if i put one on the whole group it sometimes mess up like that

[neat ravine]

it already has meshes which is weird, wouldn't that make it so i can't walk through?

[south orbit]

depends o n what meshes it has, it should have meshes :p meshes are mainly what u are seeing

[neat ravine]

oh

[south orbit]

the rendering mesh example is the visible part of the object, the reason u see it kinda, if u toggle that off ur object would be invisible

[neat ravine]

oh right

[south orbit]

while box and mesh collider are rather physical colliders, like collision to the rendered mesh / object

yeh on this u just add component then mesh collider

tho it seems like a group of objects within 1

so u might wanna open the group and choose the parts u wanna give a mesh collider so u wont end up messing it up :p

[neat ravine]

hmmm

[south orbit]

not sure why its a thing but ye, i just experienced personally, if i give a whole group the mesh collider rather than seperate objects within the group, sometimes it makes the mesh colliders weird, too big, or not correct etc

one day i did with a bed and oddly i was just endless stuck with my feet in the bed like i couldnt move or anything

while when i then gave them invidual mesh colliders on invidual objects in the group it was working just fine

[neat ravine]

idk how to open it up

[south orbit]

u do in the hierechy

like this

[neat ravine]

oh, unpack?

[south orbit]

u dont need to unpack rly

[kind leaf]

A mesh collider gets the data from the mesh filter to create the collider. It wont search through the children to find one. You can put a box collider on anything, but like the mesh collider it too will look for a mesh filter to get its initial bounding size if one is not present it defaults to 1x1x1. 🙂 Thats why

[south orbit]

ah yeah i though it be something like that, but ye i learned it the hard way xD atleast early, so im glad im atleast aware of that, and i guess this is also another reason ppl suggest box colliders if u can get away with it in comparison to mesh colliders

[neat ravine]

it looks like this. there's an arrow to the right but then it's just one object there

is a box collider a component i can add?

[south orbit]

yeh so the object is just 1 piece, not several pieces, should be okay ? to put a mesh collider on it, tho just test it out, like try and jump on it make sure the mesh colliding is how it should be

box / mesh colliders are components u can add ye, but box colliders literally makes a square collider around ur object, u can adjust it from there tho again is why i prefer mesh colliders, since it usually collides around the edges of an object rather than a big square

[neat ravine]

okay. im not seeing a mesh collider option to add though but i'll try fiddling around

[south orbit]

is in the right side

like this

if not u press add component, type in mesh, and it should show

[neat ravine]

ohh ok

found it

[south orbit]

cools (:

[neat ravine]

what does unpacking an object do? am i able to separate it into its component parts?

[south orbit]

i think u would have to go through blender for that, normally of what i know what unpackaging does is that it allows u to edit the object within the scene rather than within the prefab

[neat ravine]

ahh im not sure what the difference is;;

[south orbit]

i know how the difference looks, but i dont know what the exact difference is other than u be able to see the scene and edit that specific object instead of the whole prefab instead of not seeing the scene aswell as editting the whole prefab itself

so i guess those are the differences, probably some more out there that i dont know

• so like if its packed (blue) and i edit it, it edit's the version i have under my assets which i dont want ofcourse

[neat ravine]

ohhh

[south orbit]

also it shows like this

if i want to edit / delete part of it etcc etc

rather than in the scene itself, while if its unpackaged, i can do exactly this but still see my scene at the same time, Aswell as it does not edit the version under my asset but only that specific one i put out in the hierechy

[mighty oak]

i have a simple world with the old Unity and 2.0 SDK, can i still update it or do i have to change into the new unity and sdk?

[mystic finch]

Hi maybe someone knows if there is a media player that can also play external links? I would like to have videos from my network drive in my world (Synology can play) Perhaps also a playlist selection because inserting a link in VR is PAIN xD I'm so grateful for any information 😊 PS: I'm completely new to Unity and creating worlds. Udon Sharp doesnt work for me only Youtube Video

[kind leaf]

The merlin player will play just fine for you when use use proper links. Youtube, or whitelisted cloud storage. Dropbox links work

you cannot link to your own network

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/www-whitelist the list is outdated. Who knows what is missing, but I can verify dropbox works just fine, been using it for a while. Its cheaper and free has more space than google.

[mystic finch]

@kind leaf the problem is i have more than 500GB of movies and Videos xD can i make a playlist view for the Videos with the merlin player ?

[kind leaf]

If they are all stored on a whitelisted site than yes, you can use a text document to hold all the links and their names and write a playlist to display and populate buttons with the information from the text.

[mystic finch]

I tried to play shared links from google drive and that doesnt work 😟

[kind leaf]

mp4?

[mystic finch]

Do you have a little tutorial for the playlist overview ?

yes mp4

[kind leaf]

naw I don't. I use prefab'ed video players. No need to write one. If you need help creating a playlist see #udon-general or try the discord for the video player you want to use. Merlin is the most basic. There is also ProTV (feature rich) and Wolfe. Merlin and ProTv have thier own discords.

[mystic finch]

@kind leaf okay thank you i will look there for some infos 😊

[neat ravine]

oof i think ive been in unity longer than vrchat

i should probably actually play it

[kind leaf]

pft naw, unity is more fun 😛

[neat ravine]

wtf my shit didn't save

pretend that's in caps bc im freaking out

how am i spamming good lord

[kind leaf]

you can't close unity without getting a save popup if the content isnt saved

[neat ravine]

i pressed save multiple times

like, every time i did something major

and it's not showing up in the unity hub

says my last save was 7 hours ago

[kind leaf]

did you try opening the project again?

[neat ravine]

ok now it says 6 minutes ago. hhhh

im gonna try

im gonna cry if all my work is gone

omg it's there. thank goodness

[kind leaf]

the only time unity doesnt save is if windows defender sees it as a threat for saving somewhere windows doesnt want it to like directly to your c: drive

[neat ravine]

ahh

[opal sigil]

Hey helow everyone

i was thinking how to set an objet like he dont use gravity until you pick this object is no more kinetic

hope your understand what im saying

[unkempt mauve]

@near escarp is there a debug console like the pool table but for your own world, or no?

[reef yacht]

unity hub gives me a rash
you are not the only person
stay strong 🦾

[near escarp]

That's the link i sent before

[unkempt mauve]

It’s not something that can be used like a global prefab?

[near escarp]

No, you'd have to build that one yourself otherwise

[unkempt mauve]

ok

[toxic wraith]

I have a prefab (exported form Houdini) that needs Houdini engine for unity to animate. Will the prefab work in VRChat ? 🤔

[green lagoon]

nope as Houdini engine is not one of the whitelisted components

[toxic wraith]

😢

[toxic wraith]

thank u

[misty wave]

Thank you! It turned out to be a different parameter name bc of the shaded but that function did the trick.

[bold ibex]

These trees currently do not move with the wind zone I have setup. Is there anything I can do about this to make them work, or do they have to be setup for this prior? I read the Unity Docs and I don't get what classifies as a tree in a Terrain and how the trees even shift with the wind in the first place

Would I have to have the trees rigged or something?

[kind leaf]

only terrain painted trees respond to wind unless using special shaders. Try the shaders tab here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml#

[bold ibex]

oh sweet thakns

this is a very odd shader

[kind leaf]

you can always try the asset store, that is just the first place I check with the understanding that they probably work in vrc...

[bold ibex]

yee but it works in vrc thankfully, and well

I have a weird issue with the houses where, if I walk into it ingame, I am stuck into the floor like glue. The only way to move is to run-jump bunnyhop constantly. The colliders seem fine in Unity so im not sure why its acting like this in VRC.

the houses are a part of a medevial asset pack I bought from the Unity Asset Store

I put the houses in AFTER I did the thing where I setup the collision matrix for the VRChat world if that has to do with anything

[kind leaf]

Verify that the the colliders are on the parent and NOT on the LODs. The vrc collision setup wont do anything but add the appropriate layers needed for vrchat and give you some additional layers to playwith instead of having to make your own.

[bold ibex]

I think they are on the parent gameobject

yeah its not on any LODs

[kind leaf]

Darn, that's all I got. I've had the issue before but it was a terrain issue and a problem with my character controller which doesnt apply to this situation.

[bold ibex]

I appriciate

very much

[kind leaf]

Try disabling the mesh collider and add a box collider just for the floor, see if the issue persists.

[bold ibex]

on it

that would be very fun if I had to manually make box colliders for everything

[lone frost]

Guys I am having an error, Can anyone help me.
"Error building Player because scripts have compile errors in the editor"

what might that be?

[kind leaf]

check the console for errors 🙂

[cloud meteor]

So ive managed to get teleportation to work
and the code works etc, but when they tp back, they have to re-enter the code, is there a way to trigger the door to allow them to tp back to the other room if they have the code?

[kind leaf]

on Granted you are triggering the teleport script right? So on the inside room just create a new collider with a new script with Interact() and have it execute the teleport script.

[cloud meteor]

im a bit of a newbie when it comes to this stuff really. XD

[acoustic ferry]

How can I make a avatar world? I haven't been able to find anything about this

[kind leaf]

make a world, then drag n drop the avatar pedestal prefab into it. It is included with the sdk. Assign the avatar blueprint id where it asks for it on the prefab in the inspector.

[tardy cloud]

i keep getting these errors when i try and upload my world, can anyone help?

[red urchin]

instead of having them teleport on the code, make the code spawn in a button that tp's them

that way nomatter where they are that button is still there and can be used later

that should do what you want i think?

[slate haven]

Its there a way that i can sync audio clips?

Want to build a nigth club with a playlist but cant see any video on how to build one

[forest cedar]

Hi everyone i would like to create a vr chat map... but im a otal novice is there someone kinda experienced who would like to teach me the basics or have good links for a good tutorial ?

[bold ibex]

ensure u are on Unity ver. 2019.4.31 EXACTLY, and you imported the most recent VRCSDK from the VRChat website

reimport the newest VRCSDK for sure even if you think it was the newest already

[tardy cloud]

Alright I will be sure to try that thanks

[bold ibex]

when ur project is open check the version at the top bar, not by what unity hub tells you

[mild spade]

The easiest way is to turn ON a gameobject with an audio source that has "play on awake" enabled while turning OFF the other songs.

[outer quest]

Anyone know where to get this asset? I see it everywhere

[dusk sapphire]

[idle sage]

Is it possible apply filters like the low pass filter to video audio sources? I've heard worlds which make the video audio source sound low quality like it's coming from a radio, or so I believe. In my experience, the video player audio sources didn't work with a low pass filter though as it's a dynamic audio source.

Maybe I'm just misremembering though, who knows. 🙂

[stone marsh]

You can do pretty much whatever you want to normal video player audio, some players come with setups built in like VideoTXL. You can do this with the player audio using UDON as well.

But yes, high pass, low pass, reverb, chorus, etc are all whitelisted world components.

https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio

[idle sage]

Thanks! Maybe I just had some bad luck getting it to work in the past, the audio did things it wasn't supposed to do with a filter active. 😄
But the filters would work fine on an AudioSource using a clip.

Currently using the UdonSharp Video Player from Merlin, maybe that does something specific and is causing my issue.

[quaint viper]

Was there ever a solution for this? I've run into the same issue, and I haven't been able to find any solutions >.>

[lapis shell]

Hey just a general question about worlds and promotion, is there someone on the VRC dev/moderator team I can contact about possibly getting a world I'm working on featured? I'm making a Hannukah world and would like to have it featured when the holiday's ongoing. It's currently in CommunityLabs but most of the core functionality is in. I'm bugfixing and optimizing the code to be more performant primarily these days, and I'd love to have it featured when the holiday rolls around.

[lapis shell]

I've never played with the doorcode asset but you can just make a boolean hasEnteredDoorCode flipped to true and leave it there when a user does it properly. You can send me a private message and I can help you do that if that's something you need help with.

[kind leaf]

Features are based on popularity and/or events. By the end of November I'm certain there will be a Winter Jam that you can submit your world to if it meets the requirements. Other than that, you need that AT&T money to get featured without rep.

[lapis shell]

Yeah I'd happily submit it to a Winter Jam, was just worried that'd be too late as hannukah ends early December, but I'm Ok with that.

[shell trail]

random question, if I set a public world to private will I need to go through labs if I want to publish it again?

[kind leaf]

yes

[shell trail]

ugh

I guess I have to leave my world up with broken lighting then until my rebake is done

[kind leaf]

yep, thats why we have build and test. Unless you are building only for Quest. Quest just has to hope for the best before a publish, the rest of us have tools.

[shell trail]

I did, I fixed one issue I had with a button, so I didn't made a new test for that

and I must have done something that broke my lights

[unkempt mauve]

How do I add a place holder like for an object to snap into a spot?

and how do I set a respawn time for an object?

[bold ibex]

How the hell can i get a ban system for my world cause im tired of a toxic cunt in my community

[lapis shell]

Personally I put an object with OnTriggerEnter, make it store a reference to the object that entered the trigger, then OnDrop I make the object's transform.position and its transform.rotation equal to the snap position. How well do you know programming and Unity?

[unkempt mauve]

Thanks!

[unkempt mauve]

0% programing and 50% Unity

[vagrant tinsel]

I have been wondering for a while what doos it takes for a world to get out of its lab state cause my world after almost half a year still has not gotten out of the labs state

[lone narwhal]

I had a look through the Labs explanation thing
It just seems to mostly be based on popularity
if people enjoy your world and such

[vagrant tinsel]

Well my world is just a chill type of world with a space theme to it it has a couple of my public avatars and statue's of my private avatars with the models creator's name above it

So its strange to me that other worlds that are somewhat similar to mine get accepted at a faster rate

[little kiln]

I've been having this issue that seems to come and go...or is possibly even getting worse somehow? and that is certain objects in my worlds have been drifting. Kinematic, floating objects which should be stationary, will slooooooowly drift in one direction. some objects do this immediately upon loading the map, and other objects don't do it until they have been touched. it's really strange, and despite a bunch of looking back and forth to make sure the objects that do and don't do it all have the same parameters, i haven't been able to figure it out

[near escarp]

Are these objects under an animated parent ? Is the world maybe very far from 0,0,0 ?

[little kiln]

oooooohhhh. interesting.

so, the objects themselves are very close to the origin, but you helped me realize that they are parented under an invisible collective that for some reason has the origin waaaaay far away

thank you!

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know how to make a chair that you can pick up while the person is sitting in the chair?

[stone marsh]

Create a synced pickup. Example would be

Spawn 3D cube
Add vrc pickup
Add vrc object sync

Then snag the chair prefab that comes with the sdk and simply parent the chair directly to the cube

You now have a chair you can pickup that's synced.

Obvi you can simply parent the chair to whatever you want.

[pale pebble]

Is there any way to implement a high-score system for my world?

[bold ibex]

i did this but every time i pick up the chair the collider falls off then i cant sit in it again

[atomic patio]

so you know these assets?
.fbx files with this expandable/collapsable tree of children pieces to it? I am using the asset, but only some pieces of it. any way to get rid of the rest of the pieces?

model is taking up 40% of my projects' total size, with only maybe 30% of it being used.

[kind leaf]

• Remove the un-needed parts in Blender
  or
• Install probuilder, drag the model into your scene and unpack it, delete what you don't need. Select what you want to keep, and then in the probuilder toolbar with the items selected click probuilderize. Click center origin, UV map for safe measures, and then click the expanded export and save as asset. No more original fbx needed.

[atomic patio]

Thank you

[latent ridge]

I'm trying to add a mop to my world, I have the end of the mop rigged with an armature, how can I make the "moppy" part flap around as if it had dynamic bones but without using actual dynamic bones?

[fleet ridge]

Ok does anyone know to fix world shaking?
Like I made 3 teleport world in my world but
Every time I go to a room the avatar starts rapid shaking like when I was in vr my whole body shake and the other people that I brought with me said their screens were shaking too
The world is called club infinity is you wanna see what I’m talking about

[frosty goblet]

This is me attempting to remind myself to come back here tomorrow asking about occlusion

It's been my target for the past 3 days and I'm like making headway but also still really confused

I get a lot of outside objects and outer terrain flickering in and out of visibility when I enter a building and look out the windows up against the back wall

[atomic patio]

probuilder having a hard time with my rug ;;
been like this for going on 5m

[mild spade]

The farthest away from Unity´s origin point (0,0,0) the less precise the "float points" become. So on that world, you are probably being teleported to a very far away point from the origin point, causing those shakings. You can learn more if you search "Floating point error" on google. Is not just a Unity problem.

[fleet ridge]

Alright thank you so much!!!!

[south orbit]

so just woke up to proceed one of my worlds / projects, this is happening, why ?

cant load in to test it

and now i tried to remove my pipeline id in case that was messing anything up, and its just infinite re-loading itself

im so confused

:/

• oh wait im a fool .... i ofc toggled off the vrcworld causing this confusion / havok Lol ! ...

my bad

[bold ibex]

so idk what happend my vrchat sdk tab at the top isent showing the control panel option any more it just says Utilitys > Recompile all program sourses. And Clear cashe and player prefabs. And Udon graph. anyone know how to get the control panel back idk what happend it was there befor and i deleted the sdk and re imported it and closed everything and reopend but same problem

i have this error Error: Could not load signature of VRC.SDK3.Components.MultipleDisplayUtilities:GetRelativeMousePositionForDrag due to: Could not load file or assembly 'UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

and this error Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs(11,16): error CS0619: 'GUIText' is obsolete: 'GUIText has been removed. Use UI.Text instead.'

[dusk sapphire]

delete Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs

its not compatible for unity 2019

also, you can't use standard assets in sdk3 either way

[bold ibex]

ok thankyou

[bold ibex]

I'm attempting to make my first world this morning and I have encountered this error, wondering if anyone knows how to fix it? Thank you!!

[near escarp]

Can you show any of the other errors pls

[bold ibex]

I've closed out of unity to update it, I'll post again to update if it fixes it

[bold ibex]

Yeah after updating unity it completely fixed it haha

[bold ibex]

Coming back to try to finish building one of my worlds I started like 6 months ago, I saw that there's a guide on migrating to unity 2019 but the link on the blog and docs is 404 not found. Anyone got new link?

[chilly grove]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/migrating-from-2018-lts-to-2019-lts

[bold ibex]

Thanks, the blog article I was reading linked to a broken one 2 or 3 times

[bold ibex]

damn, I haven't used unity in 5 months. I was just learning it back then, now I can't remember how to do anything. I created new scene to migrate the project but I don't even remember how to get rid of the blank scene and go back to my other one hahaha. Gonna be a long road back into this.

[bold ibex]

Dang, that page says Install Unity 2019.4.x LTS. So I installed the only 2019.4.x in the list but it was the wrong version it was 32 instead of 31 haha

[bold ibex]

unity hub likes to put out the newest before vrchat gets to it

confuses people alot

yea, at least the sdk tells you it's the wrong version, then you go look online that you can get all the in between versions on the site

I got it migrated, tho when I build and test now my character just spins to the left all the time haha. Not sure I have time to look into this now.

I Guess it does that when you have ps4 controller connected, good to know.

[bold ibex]

yup

thats another issue thats been a thing for awhile

got a few versions of my project, and I forget which one was the most up to date one. I migrated one but I think it's one of the older ones. Haha.

I'm like, hey these bottles are supposed to fly out into space but they aren't. Sometimes I get stuck in there listening to the music and throwing bottles into space, then 3 hours later remember I was supposed to be doing something.

[knotty basalt]

A noob question from a noob user. How do I add the ability to toggle music on and off as well as toggling mirrors?

[lapis shell]

I'd say make a flop animation, make a script that checks the velocity of the mop's rigidbody and if it's higher than a threshold, play the flop animation?

If you want it to look like it's flopping in the correct animation, make one animation in one direction, another in the other direction, and you'd have to blend the animations with unity's animation blending system.... Actually a kinda complex thing you're trying to build.

Unless there's an easier way I'm just not thinking of.

[lapis shell]

There's a mirror toggle prefab in the udonexamples scene.

[knotty basalt]

I'll look in there when the project is up. What about music toggles?

[lapis shell]

I don't know if they have a music toggle prefab, it's simple enough to code, just a button with OnClick -> Play AudioClip, I can't code it up right now (I'm at work) but I imagine you can find that somewhere.

[knotty basalt]

I can do it if it's not too complicated to code in (no prior coding experience whatsoever) Thank you for helping.

[silent plinth]

anyone have any experience with red-sim water shader?

for whatever reason the shader can only be seen if you are almost inside it

So I'm looking to add fireworks to my world, i downloaded the Hodges firework guns but when i place the prefabs, they dont seem to work. I get errors that there are scripts missing. How would I fix this?

[short gulch]

Have you baked reflection probes? That usually fixes issues with water shaders.

[mystic leaf]

So I have this pool setup to trigger animations on a button press, for some reason all objects in the pool just dissapear instantly when testing. Why is this??

[lapis shell]

Are you testing using CyanEmu or are you testing by making a build?

[mystic leaf]

making a build

[lapis shell]

I would install CyanEmu, test the game out, and check if the gameobjects are still around in the world when you click the button. I'm wondering if they're doing exactly what they're supposed to, play their animation, but that makes them change their position to somewhere outside of their view.

Alternatively if you can just, output the state of one of the objects in a build, you can do that too. I'm just starting with the VRC SDK so debugging from a build window is something I don't have any experience with.

[mystic leaf]

I did this, what I found is that for some odd reason all items in the pool get disabled

why does my pool get toggled and doesnt my button do anything

[lapis shell]

They get disabled on bootup or onclick?

[mystic leaf]

on bootup

[kind leaf]

For objects to work correctly all items need to be enabled at runtime. They are then disabled. So when you pull from a pool you are finding the first disabled child and activating it and then sending it to do it's thang. The enabled to disabled happens quickly

[mystic leaf]

only in the bool tho

but why do they get disabled on startup

I have another item using the bool, almost the same setup

and that one works fine

[kind leaf]

"For objects to work correctly" with sync and udon behaviors

[mystic leaf]

huh

[kind leaf]

A pool is a storage. You do not use a pool to have its contents active at the same time all the time anyway.

.... you switched between using pool and bool so I'm not even sure If I am explaining what you need now 😛

[mystic leaf]

i always said pool?

This is the setup I have on a toggle and that works

But this one simply doesnt

It disables the objects in the pool and when I enable them it still doesnt play the animation

[mystic leaf]

wile this one doesnt even hide the items

okay I sorta fixed it, now they dont dissapear but my button doesnt do anything.....

[ruby jay]

if you want to enable pool objects, use the spawn/tryspawn methods/nodes on the pool

[mystic leaf]

I fixed it but thanks 🙂

did you get it to look good on quest?

[bold ibex]

Oh i forgot about the quest endavor but i should probabllyyy get back to that

I do want to figure that out

[vagrant shale]

Hey, does anyone have any recommendations for creating voice amplification zones that work on Quest? I feel like I've tried everything and nothing works properly but I might as well try again.

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, that's one of the ones I tried that didn't seem to function at all but there have been a couple SDKs released since then so maybe it's working now.

The one I have works alright for when you're in the zone but it seems to make anyone that exits the zone way too quiet but only for certain people.

[kind leaf]

Ive been using it for a while on windows and android with no issues.

well, since the last release anyway, was hit or miss before for me

im trying to set up a mirror toggle and it just keeps making the button im setting the toggle to dissapere instead of the mirror this is my udon graph https://gyazo.com/8251f2c6748d71521a011ed924fae0d2 i watched a mirror totorial and its not working what do i do?

[mild spade]

Your "instance" is empty, meaning it will reference itself in this situation. You can fix it by connecting it like this (blue line) Needs a reference to the "VRCMirrorWall" object. There is a channel for SDK3 (udon) question if you have more questions #udon-general

[glad ferry]

I'm working on a world with something like a concert stage that has models there performing by default, and I had the idea of having a toggle be used to allow for the camera to do a closer look at the model singing and dancing, and then switch to a camera that is further away. Is there a way to get the models to perform while I'm recording the camera toggle at the same time?

Hello fellow vrchatters! A quick question, is it possible to have a portal (in a public world) that shoots users to a private world that guarantees that users will end up in the same instance? Eg: a public alleyway world, which has a portal that leads users to a private club world.

[bold ibex]

Fuuuuuuu... I'm new to this. I need help please.

[mild spade]

Are you using the latest SDK from the website? If you are, you are using the wrong Unity version for it.

[stone marsh]

Lol yea we're on 2019.4.31 you're using a pretty old version of unity.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version

[bold ibex]

ahh... saw a youtube video and it was recent so either they messed up or were trolling

thank you~

[solar pike]

Hi! I'm a new world creator and I'm working on one right now and I just had a question. When I take screenshots with the integrated vrc camera in VR, it shows weird ghastly shapes of every props, like castings, you can see it on the right of the picture.. Any idea where that could come from and how I could fix that? Thanks!

[graceful totem]

Alrighty now it’s time to learn about making worlds lmao

What’s the most recommended tutorial to start with

[ruby jay]

do you have any post processing enabled?

[solar pike]

Yeah some bloom and ambiant occlusion

[ruby jay]

don't use ambient occlusion as post processing effect
it has many issues, especially in vr

bake the AO instead via light baking

[solar pike]

Oh okay didn't know about that! How do I bake that to get the same effect then?

[hidden osprey]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.4/Documentation/Manual/LightingBakedAmbientOcclusion.html

[ruby jay]

you can also bake it onto the meshes but that's a bit less easy and requires other tools than unity

see AO map on the standard shader

using light baking, as okabintaro linked, is easy

[hidden osprey]

If you haven't done light baking can highly recommend it. Makes look everything 10 times better. Some people don't recommend AO baking though since it's faking the proper lighting but I think it's an artistic choice. There is a tutorial on light baking pinned in #world-lighting aswell.

[solar pike]

I tried doing light baking, followed some tutorials and all (including the one you're talking about), the thing is it changes completely the result everytime (it's like it removes all the shadows, contrasts and things once it's baked, it doesn't look at all as what it looked like in my preview before). Also I followed your link and enabled the AO thing in the lightning settings, what's the next step, clicking on "Generate Lighting"?

'Cause that messes up my lighting in my scene too, it's like a directional light appears out of nowhere (or maybe that's what happen, I have some directional lights in my scene but that are hidden, does it enable them to bake?)

[hidden osprey]

It can be really tricky to get a feeling how light baking works. You need proper UVs, set everything to lightmap static, make sure the lights are mixed or baked, add light probes and the like.

If the light is only hidden and not disabled I think it can still affect your bake.

Also the skybox can affect the light bake too if that is enabled

[solar pike]

I see, seems pretty complicated yeah, I guess I'll just stick with weird screenshots for now and try different things before updating the world aha. And yeah the light is disabled and not only hidden. Thanks anyway for the help and I'll look further into that!

If i were to use boolean modifiers to make holes for doors and stuff, will the hidden blocks show up when i port it to unity?

also is it better to do furniture in blender or use the unity assets/do it on there?

[bold ibex]

Hidden blocks?

Don't understand what would be the 'hidden blocks'

[vagrant shale]

Are there any tutorials for Guribo's better audio that don't require writing your own code? It includes prefabs like a microphone but it seems like those aren't designed to work on their own and all the tutorials on the github page seem needlessly complex.

@analog wyvern Pretty sure Unity doesn't know what to do with Blender modifiers but if you apply the boolean modifier so it's just a normal mesh, that should be fine. If you've got a little money to spend, it's not a bad idea to purchase assets and alter them to your needs but building them yourself is also a good option, just depends on your needs, time, and budget. Personally, I think modeling every element of the world yourself when there are resources out there to speed up that process is a waste of time but if you have a very unique aesthetic, it might be necessary.

[kind leaf]

Better audio is plug n play if you have the dependencies. You shouldn't have to touch any code.

[vagrant shale]

I have UdonSharp and Udon of course. All I'm trying to do is make an area where voices are amplified but the only tutorial I've found is this one where it says that an override prefab is included but doesn't say what that's called or where to find it. There's also a bunch of areas for mandatory references which I assume are important but never covered. https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio/wiki/Tutorial-%231-How-to-create-a-voice-override-zone

[kind leaf]

As shown in the demo scene : You need BetterPlayerAudio prefab in the scene as it is the "brain". Then drop the mic in the scene. Assign the BetterPlayerAudio prefab where it asks for it on the mic which is an override. Done 🙂

[vagrant shale]

If only you were the one writing the tutorials. Thanks, I'll try this. I tried the mic before but I guess I just assumed it included everything so that explains why it never worked.

[kind leaf]

🙂 the trigger zone is an awesome addition. Before you had to turn the mic into a trigger zone with a bit of coding, now you can just add it just like the mic so no need to pickup or interact with anything in game.

[vagrant shale]

@kind leaf Where it says "Better Player Audio" under Mandatory references? It doesn't seem to be possible to drag a script or prefab there. Also, I wasn't sure whether I needed to add BetterPlayerAudio or BetterPlayerAudioController to the hierarchy so I added both.

[kind leaf]

Try looking at the demo scene, I don't have unity up right now to show you. I can show you how to set it up later tonight though if you dont figure it out.

[vagrant shale]

Appreciate it, I didn't even know there was a demo scene so that helps, maybe it'll be set up correctly there and I can just copy and paste.

[bold ibex]

Welp so KevBal yknow how you were saying all C# scripts that are not whitelisted get scrubbed at VRChat runtime... uhh this funny thing happens when the BF_Terrain.cs gets scrubbed. I need that script for making custom painted grass onto the terrain so i'm fcked

I guess i'll have to make a canny and hope the VRC Engineers will want to whitelist the script

[near escarp]

We won't

there's shaders for grass

[bold ibex]

This is the works of shader and material; It works with VRChat just fine on any mesh like a quad

I will have to email BruteForce about it, they might know how to work around this

[bold ibex]

I failed to specify that I am using a Terrain specifically because it gives me the ability to draw and carve out custom grass via painting texture layers. For some reason this doesn't want to work when the script is removed. I feel it is pretty essential to the map to have pathways; and not just 100% tall grass, but some variability too

[kind leaf]

So if you can use a shader independently, you can use the scripts for assets to build your terrain. If the terrain then breaks without the scripts, use Terrain to Mesh or a similar asset. 🙂 There is no shortage of terrain possibilities when you just convert the finished model to a mesh. At that point the only thing you need to worry about is if the shader is compatible.

[bold ibex]

Terrain to mesh exists?!? Okay I have to try this and pray this shader frikkin accepts it

Im guessing I can just google "terrain to mesh github" and find something yeh?

or is there a specific one in mind you got

[kind leaf]

I use this because it copies splatmaps, details, trees, everything. And I can reduce the resolution while keeping a higher resolution mesh collider. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/terrain-to-mesh-2021-195349 I then ProBuilderize the mesh to remove unseen faces for further optimization. No Issues yet, but I havent tried it with BruteForce Grass Shaders

[bold ibex]

The BruteForce website mentioned splatmaps

so I can see it working

also the quest project is postponed until this one is all gud on PC

[kind leaf]

[bold ibex]

oh geez I am going to go broke on this project

at least everything really looks nice

is there a way to get a random world id?

or could I access a google doc with udon sharp to make a list of world id's?

[kind leaf]

Any id can be gotten from the world information or from the website by looking up the name. VRC already provides a method for keeping track of ID's via favorites.

[final rapids]

I'm trying to add a toggle to my world's mirror, but when i go into udon graph and drag the mirror in, I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" And when i build&test, when i interact with the toggle, it disappears rather than turning on my mirror. any help would be appreciated

[mild spade]

Check the inspector on your script. When you drag an object into the graph it creates a public reference to that gameobject. But you have to make sure it still references that object on the inspector, not just the graph. Also #udon-general

[bold ibex]

So most of my mirror toggles work but some arnt showing up when i go in the test build and i dont understand what im doing wrong https://gyazo.com/d2513794dabb598da0ee968acaf16a04 they all have the same components but this one dosent work

[left raven]

any one willing to help me with a udon script ?

[mild spade]

Make sure the button collider is not inside another collider (like the wall) You can test this by moving the button out of the wall like in the middle of the room. If you are able to click it, then it was inside the wall collider all this time.

[bold ibex]

your very good at getting things right thank you ^^ was getting annoyed for 2 days with that one

one more question do you know how to make it so when a chair is clicked and held it wont force you to sit in it till you just click it once?

[neat badger]

Has anyone noticed synced objects are laggy lately? When people pick up items now, in some cases, the object's motion is extremely jerky, and when they throw the item there's significant delay and the motion is extremely smoothed out. I only noticed this previously with objects like beer pong balls, which bounce. But now it seems to happen even to objects the other player is holding in their hands.

[bold ibex]

for some reason when I click Build and Publish now

it says something like I don't own the vrc or sign in with the correct acc

even tho

this is my only acc and I have updated the world around 22 times

[sturdy lynx]

I think I've seen similar issues here before and you need to contact VRChat support, I may be wrong tho

[bold ibex]

ah :*( I see I finally set up all the udon in my world

how would I contacted VRC support?

AHHAAA f u Terrain to Mesh asset!!

There be no need :}

[south orbit]

which avatar are u trying to upload ? is it a purchased one or u own ?

this could be happening in case u uploaded an avatar with a scene descripter that wasnt urs, it can happen during purchase if they example uploaded / tested the avatar and then saved it with the ID, have u tried also removing the Blueprint ID to then upload so that it creates a new ID ?

[south orbit]

reading on the terrain to mesh, i find it hard to understand they charge nearly 18 euros for that ?

when i look at the pictures provided of what it is capable of, it seems that u can do this all manually without it

[bold ibex]

Really?

I mean yea if you code it all yourself

[south orbit]

i mean i dont rly need coding for that

u can just create a terrain and export it manually

sowell as if u got grass, trees and what not u can export that too doesnt require terrain to mesh

also a terrain comes with a mesh doesnt it, which means u can just remove the other components and u got the mesh only version left

[bold ibex]

wait so I can convert a terrain to mesh by removing the terrain component?

[south orbit]

i am not 100% sure i havent tried myself but i cant see why not ?

i use same method in my surf map i released yday and like

like example

i have invisible walls right, which is basicly cubes 100x100 to not cheat in the surf map

[bold ibex]

yea

just no mesh renderer

[south orbit]

here i removed whatever components so that u cant see these walls at all, like they was never there but they still are

[bold ibex]

do you happen to use ProTV

for your worlds

[south orbit]

so if i can do this with walls, i should be able to do so with a terrain right,

i did try ProTv but it was really buggy

i personally use Wolfe

[bold ibex]

is it free

and does it work wit sdk3

[south orbit]

Yeah Wolfe is free and it works with sdk3 yes

[bold ibex]

ok im going ot try that then

[south orbit]

and its easy easy like

just drag and drop, it all works, u change the youtube link to whatevver video u want to startup if no video just remove link completly

it even comes with a remote that works perfectly

and lastly when u upload it will say to auto fix something with it

just auto fix it and u be fine

[bold ibex]

Im having these entries empty for me on ProTV and I have no clue what should be in there so

hopefully your Wolfie TV doesnt do the same

else ill have to ask you which ones go where

[south orbit]

so udon behavior is a script that allows basicly other scripts to work with the object kinda thing

[bold ibex]

I do have Udon# 0.20.2 installed btw

[south orbit]

so what u would want there is a tv script but ye

thats another reason i dont like proTv like what is that even lol

wolfe aint like that, sure u need udon sharp installed ofc

but its just drag and drop and already set to go

all scripts are set and everything

highly recommend it

[bold ibex]

I cant find it on googling

do you have a link?

[south orbit]

from my own world or once of them

sec i get u a link

[bold ibex]

ok

[south orbit]

https://vrchat.nishawolfe.com/prefabs/videoplayer

ther u go

[bold ibex]

thank u

[south orbit]

np enjoy (:

[bold ibex]

everything seems connected already so thats a good sign; just have to test it

[south orbit]

yeh, as said it ask to auto fix something cant rmber what it was but it was something that needs to be toggled on normally

and it was normally but i think wolfe updated it and forgot to toggle it

neitherways the auto fix should fix it with no issues, atleast it did to me in the last 2 worlds i used it in

[bold ibex]

The VRChat Control Panel will prompt me with something to Autofix?

[south orbit]

yeh it should

once u drop it into ur world

[bold ibex]

once im done crunch compressing all these texturessss

[south orbit]

also the remote is straight away like

just drag and drop, it works like a charm

it even has gravity and so on (rigidbody)

[bold ibex]

there is a remote?

for what purpose

[south orbit]

@bold ibex to control the tv from distance

[kind leaf]

No that was an sdk update. The avpro component is supplied by them and not touchable.

[south orbit]

ah yeh right, thanks lel, i rmber we discussed it just couldnt rmber what exactly it was but ye, kev with the wisdom xD

[bold ibex]

I fixed the issue with my house colliders failing to work, the problem is I had to remove the LOD component and delete everything but the lod I wanted to keep (LOD0) In my case. Then I needed to add a mesh collider directly to the LOD0

which ideally I wouldn't have to remove LODs but I guess this how it be for now

#world-development message

[kind leaf]

I don't use LODs... each layer is a whole new set of lightmaps.

[bold ibex]

ah I don't know what those are, isn't that for baked lighting I thought?

[kind leaf]

yeah 🙂

[bold ibex]

Do colliders do weird things when multiple are stacked inside each other

I am going to have to guess thats why the houses were having trouble

[kind leaf]

they can if there is movement or something is expected on collision. Other than that, its just unnecessary calculations being made.

LODs are controlled by your camera, so on the LOD slider, if the near view switches the gameobject to one without a collider you would have issues. This can be bypassed by putting the collider on the LOD parent object with the controller and assigning the mesh to that collider. Then you can remove all colliders from the LOD children.

[bold ibex]

Yeah I think thats how the asset was originally setup

maybe they did it wrong

[swift trench]

are avpro video players smart and able to tell aspect ratio or do i need to hold its hand at displaying on a 4:3 screen

or should i use a unity render texture with a 4:3 screen

[pseudo nexus]

how do you make it so that an object's box collider doesn't effect a player, but when you place an object on it it won't fall trough?

[swift trench]

colision matrix in project settings

[pseudo nexus]

i don't know what that is, i just started on creating worlds

[swift trench]

edit -> project settings -> physics
if you put your object on a custom layer just toggle player under it

[pseudo nexus]

how do i put it on a custom physichs layer?

[swift trench]

change the layer the object is on

theres an add layer button

[pseudo nexus]

oh

i set it to pickup layer because that already exists

lets see

ooo it works

Thanks!

[swift trench]

if that doesnt colide with the player that works too

now im trying to work out how to play an mp4 in a video player so it works on quest

[pseudo nexus]

hm

[kind leaf]

no it will not give you a calculated aspect ratio. Use a render texture, or scale the screen to the ratio you want, or setup a custom UV for the ratio you want. If you just drop a material for rendering it will occupy the whole surface.

[swift trench]

so in concusion it will use the render texture aspect ratio

chears

got mp4 working (this is in editor)

[south orbit]

are u playing super mario in vr

now thats

❤️

[swift trench]

not playing sadly

[south orbit]

oh sadge

still looks cool tho but ye

[swift trench]

if i could get a snes emu into VRC i would

[south orbit]

i mean it is probably possible right, just alot of work i could imagine

[swift trench]

not realy
would have to desigh one for unity 1st then convert it all to udon

[south orbit]

couldnt u tho make something in udon that interacts with the emu instead

and save alot of work

[swift trench]

cant use c# in vrchat
have to use u#

and reminder Udon doesnt suport file loading so youll also be comiting piracy

[south orbit]

ah yeah well im just speculating ofcourse i would never go against something that would be considered a crime or similar to it

what i was thinking tho that it is probably easier to just re-create an actual vr experience of the whatever emu game than to try and 'import' it

[swift trench]

there are games that use render textures in vrchat

its quite easy to make a unity game useing udon

[south orbit]

tbh i am not sure how exactly render texture is supposed to work, im fairly new / self taught, tho i did make a surf map for vrchat recently it was mainly based on someone else's scripts in which i got permission to use / publish on my map

but of what i think, it would be something that renders a texture in a certain XYZ ?

and in that way u can create layers / textures of example a 2D game to be able to render the texture in the XYZ or in the trigger of a combination in udon etc etc ?

[swift trench]

nah
render textures are basicaly takeing a render output to a texture

[south orbit]

tho im not too sure these are just guesses

[swift trench]

like a camera can output to a render texture

[south orbit]

im a very simplistic invidual on those points and yet to learn i guess :p

for me textures is mostly png's in which i make materials ofc usually

render output to a texture, which means that

u can create layers with it right

so that it renders outputs from one texture to another

[swift trench]

think of it this way then

a render texture is taking a camera output and puts it into a temparay png for you to shove into a material elseware

you can also take the output of a video to that temporary png

[south orbit]

yeah so it takes wahtever u see basicly (camera)

to a temporary png or video or what u want in the png

i dont get the last part tho tbh

shove into a material elsewhere

[swift trench]

it cant be your vision tho
i has to be a separate camera

but yeh

[south orbit]

but if its a second camera then how do u see it

through like a screen or w/e ?

like a object etc

[swift trench]

thats why its in that PNG
so you can shove it on a TV in your scene or some spectator tablet

[south orbit]

so example

a video player is based on render texture ?

[swift trench]

basically yeh

you can also use material overrides but they basically do the same thing

[south orbit]

i see yeah, thats good to know i appreciate for explaining to me (:

[bold ibex]

If you ever wanted security cams in your world, thats how

i think

I can't figure out how to make the Flare I have setup fade when it gets blocked behind walls, instead of just being full bright when its right on the edge of being blocked, and completely gone when its just barely blocked

I made the glass on TransparentFX layer so the flare works through that

[clear frost]

is there a reason why i am unable to update my maps anymore?

2.0 and 3.0. Its not letting me upload

it always shows it as a new map

[bold ibex]

wym it shows it as a new map

[clear frost]

on the builder it says its an unpublished map

and im using the blueprint for a map i have had for some time

[bold ibex]

can you show me a picture of unity saying this

[bold ibex]

And its not even updating it in VRChat?

[clear frost]

mhm

[bold ibex]

Can you screenshot ur unity version you are using

[bold ibex]

This makes no sense

is there anything in the unity error console when you open it that might hint at anything

what have you changed in that unity project since the last time you uploaded it successfully

[bold ibex]

Well thats a problem if that 64 was there on default

[clear frost]

its 3.0

[bold ibex]

OH

so there is erorr

[clear frost]

yea

[bold ibex]

I would get out of upload phase, delete the script its referencing, make sure you have the most recent VRCSDK and then import that

and then try uploading again

like import the VRCSDK again

[clear frost]

i clicked on it and the ref was the vrchat popups

[bold ibex]

whats it

whats ref

Is making reverb zones for player voices easy in SDK3?

[bold ibex]

it's my own world

[bold ibex]

and yes

[south orbit]

i see yeah then that is very odd indeed, have u checked u running the correct unity version along with the correct sdk and so on

[bold ibex]

yeah i have the correct sdk etc cause I uploaded an old ver of the world

then closed my project

came back an hour later

did my udon and then the when to upload and that happened

[south orbit]

have u tried toggling that udon stuff u made afterwards to see if that somehow interfere / causes the issue

[bold ibex]

yeah it was only a simple network video player

so I removed it

tried to upload again

and then same thing

[south orbit]

yeah im clueless then sry, i hope u figure a way for it to work tho

[bold ibex]

it's ok i am thankful tho I just recreated the world

copied and pasted what I could

issue is now i'm having some issues with the video player

[south orbit]

sucks having to do so cus of an error like that but ye, if it works then so be it i guess :p

we talked quite bit bout video players earlier, have u tried the

Wolfe Video Player, it seem to be very good and straight ahead kinda thing

[bold ibex]

can you send me the link for it?

[south orbit]

x

there u go

[clear frost]

okay so it will not upload at all

[bold ibex]

one more issue

when I upload my world

it's just a black screen

it was fine a few seconds ago

legit all I changed was to add a new pic

[analog wyvern]

whats a good triangle budget for quest? 50k seems kinda hard to fit, mine is at 100k rn

[desert python]

2 mil give or take, just be careful how materials and draw calls are handled and how close meshes are to each other (floating point accuracy prevention)

[analog wyvern]

oh 2 mil for quest?, also wdym by how close?

[desert python]

youve heard of zfighting before right?

[analog wyvern]

Im kinda of newbie so no sorry

[desert python]

oh, its when 2 textures start phasing in between each other on 2 seperated meshes

[analog wyvern]

aah, I get it now

so no meshes clipping into each other?

[desert python]

https://www.alanzucconi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Z_fighting.gif

ye

basically, make sure each mesh has enough room to breath

[analog wyvern]

alright ill work on that, 2 mil seems pretty generous for quest so i guess I can add bit more detail to my world

[timid skiff]

Why wont this work

sorry for the terrible image, too lazy to use pc discord

[kind leaf]

That popup is accompanied by errors in the console. Check those for details.

[timid skiff]

So what do i need to do to fix it?

[crimson trench]

Where get world prefab

[bold copper]

Hey everyone, Im having an issue with world creation where, whenever I try to publish or do a test build, Unity will remove the VRCSceneDescriptor Script and then I cant load into the world at all. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I am on the recommended Unity build, 2019.4.31f1, and I have the permissions to upload because the control panel is saying I do

[kind leaf]

like a whole world? Asset Store. Open Unity click the tab and search for environments.

[twilit minnow]

hiya i just tried updating my world from unity 2018 to 2019 im using newest sdk from vrchat website for worlds and followed the migration page on what to do (didnt skip ahead or anything) and my world has red errors and the vrcsdk menu wont even give options to show control panel

ive tried about 5 times now and spent so much time cause time it takes to migrate up and each time is the same outcome

i have screenshots of the 3 errors it shows after doing everything the migration site says to do

[near escarp]

were you using any other tools ?

[twilit minnow]

what do you mean? like prefabs for other things, or?

i bought the world about 6 months ago and have it uploaded working using unity 2018 at the time it has chess board beer pong and video player in it the rest is just furniture and mirrors

[bold copper]

If anyone experiences the same issue, its because of the Homekit that is available on the website. Any or all of the files in there will just not let you do anything when attempting exporting/testing/publishing

[analog wyvern]

whats the world size ( in meters) limit? I kinda wanna make a background cityscape view but im not sure if it would work on quest

[ebon linden]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-limitations I don't believe there is one as long as everything else checks out.

[kind leaf]

what sdk were you using?

[kind leaf]

You don't build a background cityscape and leave it 🙂 You convert it into a skybox with a 4k resolution and adjust. An entire cityscape just for a background is 100% wasted resources.

[bold copper]

SDK 3

[kind leaf]

Homekit is sdk2 only, that would break something. Its posted in big bold letters where its downloaded 🙂

[bold copper]

Oh I did not see

[bold ibex]

Flare stuff I still haven't figured out #world-development message

Appriaiate any help

uploading a vr chat world says max mb is 50 but there are quest worlds that are over 100 mb how do i up the max like they do?

[random owl]

Use the latest SDK

[kind leaf]

https://vrchat.com/home/download

[bold ibex]

Recently I was trying to update my vrchat world and it gave me the "(file name ) .vrcw does not exist " .. does anyone here know how to fix this? Or if there are any guides or things here already on what could be causing it etc. I don't know if certain things could cause it to happen or if it's just a unity bug ... thank you ^^

[unkempt mauve]

How do I use the same animation from one object but for a different object?

[kind leaf]

Spin Animation:
Create the animation for a sphere spinning. Make sure its Animated. Now you have a default animation that can be used to spin anything. Put any object inside the sphere and disable the mesh renderer for the sphere.

[unkempt mauve]

Thanks, but I'm talking about a cube slowly rising from foot level to waste level.

[kind leaf]

same concept

you just need a root transformation animated and you can put any object you want inside the animated moving object.

[unkempt mauve]

ok

[rain radish]

any help please ?

[rain radish]

please guys i need help

[crimson trench]

How make avatar pedestal

[analog wyvern]

any good places to find alot of detailed materials? (blender) im having trouble getting the ones I want

[kind leaf]

The report says you have a script with compile errors but your list isnt showing the script with the issue. The scene failing to load is probably because of the script issue.

[kind leaf]

Search Avatar Pedestal in your assets folder, its a prefab. Put it in your scene and give it an avatar id

[bold ibex]

ive uploaded my world and clicked publish to community labs and my world is not on my profile or anything do i just wait or somthing?

[kind leaf]

https://gist.github.com/mauricesvay/1330cc530f6ab2ef33eb6a5ea56ef5bd
Blender doesnt matter because Unity wont give you the blender shader anyway 😉 so any PBR that fits will do.

[analog wyvern]

so will i lose the diffuse/settings and stuff when i go into unity?

[kind leaf]

yes

[analog wyvern]

ill only have the base texture?

[kind leaf]

you will have all the textures just not the settings, you will have to play with them in unity

[analog wyvern]

hm alright, well that saves a bit of time then, thanks

[unkempt mauve]

Where do I get the wiggle shader from?

[bold ibex]

anyone know how to make a night mode button to dim the world to make it dark?

If anyone knows how to make an avatar world or has a yt video with a tut can you please Dm me

[timid skiff]

why does my upload keeo failing

[timid skiff]

How do i fix this

[ruby jay]

you will have to show all errors and please take a screenshot

[ruby jay]

a simple approach that may suffice is using post processing

[bold ibex]

what do i do in the udon to make that happen?

[ruby jay]

learn about post processing
then use udon to turn on/off the volumes or blend their weight by starting an animator animating the weight

udon itself cannot manipulate the volume properties

[rapid basin]

https://i.imgur.com/ejaJw9a.png

so i get this error in my console

and i dont know why

The error count just keeps getting higher on it

please dm me or ping me when you can help

[ruby jay]

try restarting unity;
are you using ambient occlusion as post processing effect? i really would not recommend that, it causes artefacts on the vr camera and looks strange in vr

[rapid basin]

Im not ,thats the thing i deleted my entire post processing out of my scene and this error still comes up

So im really confused abt this

[neat ravine]

hey is it considered bad to upload a world that's not finished yet? like, one that's still a WIP?

[shadow fox]

I don’t think so. I’ve seen plenty of WIP worlds

[neat ravine]

ok cool

adding text is still hell for me tho lol

might just have to put a jpeg in there or something like "this is a wip"

[shadow fox]

Try a transparent image with text? It might allow for the text to show up

[south orbit]

just use .png with transparent background and text, then drag it onto a cube, edit the material make it a cut-out and boom u got the text only

use probuilder to delete other sides of the cube so that u got text in 1 direction only

works like this, tho here i kept 2 sides but ye could remove back side if i wanted

[bold ibex]

Altnernatively you can go into blender and make a Text, type what you want, convert to Mesh and then import to Unity

For Questies since they don't have cutout or transparency

[kind leaf]

So Quest actually does support the Standard shader, just use with caution. Use a mobile shader for the bulk and only Standard cutout/transparency when needed. Quest won't stop supporting Standard as they grow so that warning can be ignored, and support for it will continue to increase over time.

Blender text to mesh can be really high in poly.

[bold ibex]

Oh right yeah its world I am dum

I keep confusing the avatars anf worlds

[kind leaf]

😛

[swift trench]

so.... is there any way at all to get a video player to work on quest

becase ik untrusted URL is a thing but i dont want to force that

and only unity video players support mp4 but the screen was just black

ah found one that claims quest compat with mp4

[kind leaf]

Unity player doesnt work in vrc. There is also no way of getting around the untrusted url. There is also no way of bypassing the need for direct link playing for Quest yet. So youtube links do not work. The only way to play a video currently for quest is to download the videos and store them on a whitelisted cloud and share the links so those links can be used for direct link access.

[swift trench]

so basicaly im fed cus i cant use MP4 on quest

[kind leaf]

mp4 works just fine on quest

https://architechvr.gumroad.com/l/protv
https://vrchat.nishawolfe.com/prefabs/videoplayer
Make sure to install dependencies

[swift trench]

found wolfe's

but idk how to put an mp4 into it

[kind leaf]

you dont put an mp4 in it, you put a url to an mp4 in it

the video has to be stored in a whitelisted cloud such as dropbox

[swift trench]

screams internaly i thaught you said i could use mp4, thats streaming it from a server

i just want to use an mp4 in a scene so i dont have to host it

[kind leaf]

could you imagine the file size bloat if your world came with mp4's? even a 300mb low res video would be enough to never join.

[swift trench]

i got it to compile under 100MB

granted that was at 240p

but thats all it needs

and vrchat even say unity players are supported

oh and OFC you have to use their proxy that doesnt support video files

[bold ibex]

Cant you just upload the video to dropbox for free

do you have a bad wifi connection or something?

is that why its so urgently needed directly in the world

[swift trench]

its just me not wanting to force quest users to have to have unknown sources
but ehh if vrchat gunna block in project videos guess i have to

[bold ibex]

yeah so if you use dropbox they dont have to check unknown sources

[swift trench]

huh thats not listed on their site lul

[bold ibex]

im@going off of this

maybe its whitelisted now? idk

[swift trench]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/www-whitelist

[bold ibex]

the docs can be uh outdated at times

but who knows

oh so use google drive

15GB free

[swift trench]

is that quest supported tho lul

[kind leaf]

yeah, dropbox was never added but it is supported with more space than google and no noticeable bandwidth limitation

[bold ibex]

I dont see how it wouldnt be

[swift trench]

if vimeo needs to be the payed version why would they let you use free hosts lul

[south orbit]

for cloud and clicks basicly

[kind leaf]

those arnt sponsors, just whitelisted sites, so vrc doesnt care who you use as long as they approve.

[south orbit]

its how most of those services earn money

[swift trench]

ehh ig ill just use drop and if it just works on quest thats chill, if not i will just do the way everyone else does

[kind leaf]

In what way do you think everyone else displays videos for Quest?

[swift trench]

put signs up on quest saying enable unknown sources

[kind leaf]

Ah yes, that will be needed no matter what. Even if you want to play some random youtube video on PC.

[swift trench]

youtube is whitelisted on pc

pc has quite a few whitelisted sources

but quest needs workarounds

[south orbit]

it is still needed by default tho to have it enabled the '' enable untrusted urls '' even youtube is whitelisted in order for it to work

[kind leaf]

I think only verified channels are whitelisted. Same with Twitch. Streaming works on PC unless they are not verified.

[south orbit]

yeah it seems to be likely the case, i been watching quite few twitch and youtube stuff in vrc with both on / off that setting and i just kept it on by default in the end

[swift trench]

fun then
vrchat make it a pain to put videos on

[south orbit]

i mean its one setting, but i bet u that 80-90% that knows vrchat even casually is aware of that setting / usually always have it enabled

[kind leaf]

Safety and disclosures prevents unneeded heat to vrc.

unverified means they have nothing to lose

[south orbit]

like think about it like this, how many worlds did u encounter with video players, and people watching video players

personally i think 1/2 worlds i go to nearly has a video player or ppl using it

[swift trench]

but your not gunna get security concerns from any old YT link
but any old link at all could be bad or funny with consiqenses

[south orbit]

but i mean isnt that up to the invidual, u can only prevent so much

like if u put a video player in ur world and u know u gonna use it as it is supposed to but other choose to use it in a wrong way u cant be responsability for their actions even u made the world

and i dont think it can have consequences towards u i mean unless u in the world and they put some messed up stuff on but that u could prevent from ingame anyways

can even master lock video players

[kind leaf]

even then, to see the video untrusted had to be checked so you agreed. Like a disclosure before surgery. The dr might not intend to kill you but if they do, you signed it 😛

[swift trench]

true, but why stop it working the right way like YT links
IK people could play something odd but come on 1 video player streaming YT really gunna hurt quest or pc experience

[south orbit]

yeah that too :p

how is it gonna hurt the quest or pc experience

[swift trench]

basicaly this rant is me saying i dont like the fact its basicaly forced for video players to work

[kind leaf]

I understand, but we just deal with it. If we didnt you wouldn't see these nice things in worlds 🙂

[south orbit]

i think 1 decent model / avatar from another player 'hurt' my pc experience or vr experience more than any video player ever did

in other words i never encountered the video players being harmful in any ways wheter it was fps or ping or anything similar

i mean if we talking about random stuff that weirdos can put on sure, but i can prevent that myself, also when i though of this i was thinking that

i saw other ppl using a solution on this specificly subject by having a local mp3 list on their videos to be played by default and then u would have to connect to the url

[kind leaf]

the harm is in storing DMCA content on their servers if it were possible to upload an mp4 and play it. Unless you made the video or have a license for public distribution then you dont have a legal right to share it publicly. This is why theater worlds get shut down. VRC doesnt care until it gets reported and those videos are not stored on VRC's servers. They are only links and not inputted by vrc. p2p shutdowns happen storage side which are rarely owned by the uploader. VRC would be the storage in this senario.

[swift trench]

ah so mp4 makes sence now

time to just use a wav and gif

would be nice to have YTDL on quest tho tbh

[kind leaf]

afaik Quest does have a ytdl its just not the same version vrc uses. Or so I have been told. I'm no expert on that, I just go with the flow.

if Quest uses air link they hae no issues, if they hard wire to their pc they also hve no issues

[swift trench]

fairs, unknown sources for quest = requirement

also just found a site that apparently you can just pass in a youtube url and it givves a link to use on quest

[kind leaf]

test it 😛

[swift trench]

i will
if it does work i know how to generate urls for it now

[swift trench]

yup it works https://t-ne.x0.to/

litrlaly just shove a YT url into it and it works

unknown sources ofc

so neet workaround for YT on quest vrc

[median briar]

I don't suppose there's a prefab or example for setting up the 'little big' camera trick being used here? https://youtu.be/N7Tdl2n9Fsg?t=598

I've been struggling to get the left/right eye layers to do anything in vrc

[stone marsh]

Download the youtube videos and host them on DropBox or GDrive. Both are whitelisted for video players and work on Quest. only YT doesn't work.

[swift trench]

but you cant automate that
that site you can automate, and it uses the original video link as its souce rather than storeing a clone

[stone marsh]

Eh, you asked for a workaround but weren't very specific xP

[swift trench]

i said "neet i found one"

not "neet i need one"

[stone marsh]

interesting

[swift trench]

the question now is:
how do i change the url in a unity player becase i cant be bothered to learn the av pro one

NVM can just snoop at the excample

i dont get the scrypt

all i get is theres no point where its a string

[untold summit]

I'm new to making maps for VRChat and Unity in general, so I'm not sure of the limitations, but
Do I need to use cubes for buttons regarding Udon programming? Can I use a nice looking set of mesh buttons or is there a drawback?

[stone marsh]

You can use just about any mesh you want, so long as it has a collider. If it's a button on a wall, should set it to "isTrigger" as well so that players don't actually collide with it. There's prefabs of some nice looking buttons that are paid on Booth that allow for physical interactions as well but aren't free. There are some free examples, but they aren't all that performant or have some drawbacks but least you can see how things are done.

[vast spoke]

is there a way to add music but it isnt 3d?

[kind leaf]

Interesting, got that bookmarked. Still prefer the dropbox method but this has its purpose for sure. Glad you found this link.

[kind leaf]

there is literally a slider on the audio source for 2d->3d. Disable spatialize.

[vast spoke]

alr

[kind leaf]

If your audio source says controlled by curve for the 2d/3d settings just press the 3 dots in the top right of the component and click reset. Then the slider will appear. Just dont forget to uncheck spatialize

[crimson trench]

Sooooo every time I try to join my world it tries to load like 3 times before sending me back to my home

working on a world

[warm rose]

hello, I am in the need of help..... I have gotten the new SDK 3 World and got it all set up and ready to go but I can not test play it or build it..... what do I do ? it an new world just made it today

if anyone can help plz PM me

[stone marsh]

You most likely have errors in your console. You need to clear those errors, attempt to enter play mode, and then inspect the errors again. Screenshot ALL of the red stop sign errors and share here if having issue still

[warm rose]

okay this is the error?

[stone marsh]

Red stop sign erorrs

You need to hit clear, then attempt to enter play mode. Then screenshot ALL of the red stop sign errors. All of them.

The yellow triangles n info blurbs aren't anything needed

I see you have like 20-30+ errors that aren't shown in your screenshot. You most likely have a script error or something. Reading the red errors can point you in the direction of the issue. But we can't help unless we can see them all

[untold summit]

Tfw you accidentally wire up your mirror buttons to delete themselves rather than the mirror

[stone marsh]

Mirror button disables mirror button. Clicking the mirror disables the floor.

Respawning turns the mirror on, but you can't reach it anymore

[untold summit]

I'll just relabel it to the "reject player freedom of choice" button

[stone marsh]

It's the world.

You can make pretty much anything into a button that can be clicked to load an avatar

The only ones that aren't made by the world authors are the typical vrc avatar pedestal with the 2D image hovering over it

Can I use Unity to bake lighting with overlapping UV's?

[honest scarab]

Does 2.0 world sdk still working?

If yes do i have to upgrade my projects to 2019 to can update?

I dunno if it still valid or not

[stone marsh]

We are currently on 2019.4.31f1 yes you should update your unity if you're still on 2018. Yes sdk2 still works, but it shouldn't be used for new projects and is in the process of being phased out and deprecated. It's best to update to SDK3 if possible but sdk2 will continue to work for a while longer but ya really shouldn't be using it anymore.

[honest scarab]

I don't need the world much just was planning to do quick update so was wanted to know if 2.0 valid still ty for answering

[fallow steppe]

Hihi, getting ready to build my first world after purchasing the Hazelwood Loft full pack from Unity. With base world creation, I understand building each unique aspect from scratch (floor, walls, windows, etc) but with regard to the loft full pack, my question is do I need to build the wall/floors, etc from scratch to mimic that of the Hazlewood loft of are these included and then imported into the project? And if so, do I start with a plane/cube etc or how do I know the metrics to create the entire environment from the full pack? TY for any guidance ❤️

[kind leaf]

you can import it directly, use it as is, make sure the shaders are not legacy: find the material folders and check the materials, if they are legacy change them to standard or whatever works for you. then just setup your light probes, bake your lighting and then bake your reflection probes. Drop the vrcworld prefab where you want to spawn and uplaod.

Any errors you get will be due to attached scripts or standard assets, just remove it all

[fallow steppe]

TYSM for the quick reply! 😌

[kind leaf]

you can avoid the errors while importing by un checking anything ending in .cs while importing from the asset store, and always uncheck any folder named standard assets.

[fallow steppe]

Awesome, thank you again 🙂

[bold ibex]

Any C# scripts will be scrubbed (removed) from your world in the Scene, so if there is anything in your world relying on C# it needs to be put in Udon Graph Nodes or U# if applicable

I recently bought this pack, but I can't figure out how I can make it work on meshes other than plane

can someone help me?

[fallow steppe]

Thank you as well 🙂

same thing but free on the vrcprefabs page https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BjaCR1DzrqCUInWCt-YblWiJTeeIeBJf/view although it's never worked for me lol. Even though I went to the damn winter world and saw it working... a git readme would be nice 😛

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml#

[bold ibex]

I already bought it and it works, but I have to figure out how to make it work on a mesh made by myself, and not on a square plane

[kind leaf]

what does it look like when you drop it on your custom mesh?

* Since it's a basic implementation, it only work with (initially) flat meshes. Curved meshes or Unity's terrain aren't compatible.

[bold ibex]

contains scripts, cameras and shaders

[bold ibex]

so with custom meshes it doesn't work?

[kind leaf]

if they arnt flat it wont work, it's using a camera to set the heightmap of the snow and adjusting. Curves would add more complexity to those calculations which they did not account for in this release.

you tested this in game? Because those are c# scripts

[bold ibex]

everything is very strange, I would like to do something nice for Christmas where it snows. I probably just need to understand the system.

[bold ibex]

works well in game

[kind leaf]

huh, it shouldn't, might have to try it out lol.

[bold ibex]

does it work if you delete the scripts yourself

do you think it should not work because it is not in udon? actually i only tested it on unity

[kind leaf]

only udon should work in game

[bold ibex]

vrchat runtime kills c# scripts afaik

at some point and time c# go byebye before it gets to your world

or should

can i convert the script to udon?

[kind leaf]

if it doesnt use anything restricted

if it says using using System.Collections; at the top and it is white not grey in VS your sol. Stuff like enums are not permitted

[bold ibex]

how nice that everything always has to be so complicated to work

[kind leaf]

the restrictions are for our safety as players. Would be nice if I could drive to work at any speed I wanted 😛

[bold ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/anxiety-stress-gif-11657348

[kind leaf]

give the link I shared a shot. I never tested the prefab as is so just drop their prefab in your world or load their demo scene and upload that. If it works great.

[bold ibex]

I go to sleep, all this too stressful. I just wanted some snow and I have to waste time on this nonsense to improve a world xD

[bold ibex]

I will let you know

it's night at my place so for now I'll go, see you bye!

[neat badger]

Does anyone know why players would hear faraway sounds in my world really loud for a moment when they spawn in, before they return to normal again?

That's one sound which is affected.

Also, in my Big City world, sounds are suddenly DEAFENINGLY loud when players approach them. They were fine before recent updates and I've made no changes recently.

Here is an example of one of the audio sources which is now deafening up close in Big City:

It's almost as if instead of the sound being clamped to 1.0 inside Near radius on the VRC Spatial Audio Source, it's acting like a point source, with near merely being the distance at which it reaches 1.0 in volume, and it increases as you get even closer than that.

In addition, the limiter that affects avatar audio doesn't seem to come into play at all here. It's literally blasting out my speakers it's so loud.

[eager silo]

can someone help me in setting up a mirror? \

it doesn't seem to show up when I drag the prefab into the scene

and I dont see it when I build test

[bold ibex]

are there any prefab like you know how some world you can dim the world with sliders or change the room color is there any thing like that to download anyone knows of?

[lapis shell]

I don't know of any prefabs that offer that but it's just reducing the intensity of a light hooked up to a slider? It's easy to make, I can code that up.

[bold ibex]

fammm drop that Udon Graph code dump

or U# idc

[worldly hull]

Does anyone know why the upload button cannot be clicked?

nothing happens when i click it 😒

[lapis shell]

Tomorrow before work I'll write the U# code.

[bold ibex]

You don't have any red errors in the Unity Console?

while in vrchat upload phase

[bold ibex]

okay

[worldly hull]

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
VRCSDK2.RuntimeWorldCreation.Start () (at Assets/VRCSDK/Dependencies/VRChat/Scripts/RuntimeWorldCreation.cs:82)

also, the button doenst have anything attached to it in the scene

[bold ibex]

I think youd just delete the script the thing is referencing, reimport the VRCSDK, and then pray it works

[worldly hull]

i should really back up my world before this 😆

[meager anvil]

added a pickup colliders n such to this pillow but the actual pillow doesnt move, just the box. any ideas?

[mild spade]

Is the pillow set to Static?

[meager anvil]

Oh! Where would that be under?

[mild spade]

Select the pillow, top right corner of the gameobject on the inspector. There is a checkmark for Static. Anything marked with static cannot be moved at runtime (while playing)

[meager anvil]

OH it was!! Thank you so much!!

[meager anvil]

Anyone know how to make the box for the avatar figurine be flush like the pillow? (Ik the avatar is hard to see but it's that box grab thing lol)

[zealous venture]

Does anyone know if this (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/weather-maker-volumetric-clouds-and-unity-weather-system-60955) asset can be used in VRC worlds?

Don't want to buy it and then find out none of it can be used in VRC.

[unkempt mauve]

How do I reference the object in Udon?

[bold ibex]

The main problem is if it is reliant on C# scripts since VRChat doesn't allow you to use any C# scripts in worlds besides a few very specific whitelisted ones

I visited their site, and I found their email

you can find it too and email them about this specifically

ask something along the lines of "Can I use "x" asset without any C# scripts, just shaders?" and "If I can use this without C# scripts, how limited will it be?"

Id probably also mention you are trying to publish a scene to VRChat, in which it does not allow any but very few C# scripts

Your good ol outline, question, context

also now that I think about it does DX11 even support volumetrics?

[unkempt mauve]

How do I create the Udon script separate from the VRC_World?

[vast spoke]

once i click test and build, on sdk3 i load vrchat up, and it just makes me spawn in midair without moving

[unkempt mauve]

What node component do I use to set the transform?

[crimson trench]

My mirror is white

And how do I do a funny thing where when I join it has a funny world owner thingy above my head

[kind leaf]

There are various reasons for having a white mirror and they depend on if its in game or in unity and if its HD or Low. Best tool in discord is to use the search at the top right and type "white mirror". - Never had that issue so maybe searching will help you.

As for something above the owners head, you need a script that tells the object in update to position its transform to the head bone if is owner/master + an offset.

Transform... Its the default component attached to all objects with the exception of canvas elements which use RectTransform.

ON spawning i can only look in one direction and cannot move.

what could be the possible cause.

[kind leaf]

You are stuck in a collider. Just drag your spawn point up and try again.

Thank you for your help sorry i am late on replying to you I'll send a screen shot of the red errors later on today, I'll do a reply to one of your messages that is a reply one of mine

[warm rose]

this red errors I did the clear and ran the play and then closed it out and restarted it

[honest scarab]

i tried re uploading my 2.0 world and making it unity 2019 but for some reason even tho getting no errors in sdk i cant see the world anymore in building page

[unkempt mauve]

With that being said, I can manually set the transform values within the node itself?

using UdonSharp;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using VRC.SDKBase;
using VRC.Udon;

public class LightSlider : UdonSharpBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Slider slider;
    [SerializeField] private Light light;

    [SerializeField] private float minBrightnessIntensity;
    [SerializeField] private float maxBrightnessIntensity;

    private float sliderValue = 0f;

    private void Update()
    {
        if(sliderValue != slider.value)
        {
            sliderValue = slider.value;
            SliderValueChanged();
        }
    }

    private void SliderValueChanged()
    {
        light.intensity = Remap(slider.value, 0f, 1f, minBrightnessIntensity, maxBrightnessIntensity);
    }

    private float Remap(float from, float fromMin, float fromMax, float toMin, float toMax)
    {
        var fromAbs = from - fromMin;
        var fromMaxAbs = fromMax - fromMin;

        var normal = fromAbs / fromMaxAbs;

        var toMaxAbs = toMax - toMin;
        var toAbs = toMaxAbs * normal;

        var to = toAbs + toMin;

        return to;
    }
}

Here's your Udon# code to make a slider that changed the brightness of a light. Pass the light, the slider to it, and set your min and max brightness to whatever value you want!

Unfortunately I've never worked with Udon graphs, only Udon#.

But in C# / Unity code it's:

transform.position = targetTransform.position;
transform.rotation = targetTransform.rotation;

Just setting the object's position and rotation to where you want it to be. Send me a DM if you need more help.

[bold ibex]

Thats amazing thank you

I also have never worked with the Graphs, they are weird

[lapis shell]

I understand the appeal of the graphs, a lot of people are intimidated by code and a node-based system is much less intimidating.

I'm personal friends with the creator of the Bolt Unity asset (he lives just a few kilometers from me!) and he was telling me about how he feels strongly that good tools lead to better products, and much of his development time on his personal game now is spent building tools for the rest of his team.

[bold ibex]

Yeah, it is good to have multiple options for the best accessability

especially when you have a game like VRChat where people who have no experience in the field can create too

[frank shadow]

I guess its a thing that people falsely report worlds? :|

[bold ibex]

Obviously it doesn't work on vrc

[lyric acorn]

Is there any issues with 80 trail Renderers in the world? I recall a prior mention that the line doesn’t really disappear from memory

[bronze stump]

Hi all!

Are there any Canadian VRChat users who have published a a game or world before? I work for Ethos Market Research (look us up!) and we are currently recruiting for a study on VR creators. Let me know if there is anyone who is interested or if you know someone who would qualify 🙂 Thanks!

[lapis shell]

Uhhh I guess I qualify.

[fathom ice]

Urm... what is the max poly count for a world?

[full wharf]

shouldn't this be updated to 100mb?

[fathom ice]

Aah that's helpful

[vast spoke]

is there a prefab for music buttons?

[analog wyvern]

i imported my build from blender and most of the textures are missing? im using sdk3 any fix?

[lapis shell]

You imported just the obj/fbx maybe? Texture files are imported as separate files into unity and then plugged into a material to be applied to models.

[analog wyvern]

yeah thats what i did

alright i got my materials working now thanks

Background Music? Add an empty game object to the scene, click add component and add an audio source. make sure the audio source is 2d which is a slider and attach your loop song and click loop.. No page is needed because it is the same for unity and covered by millions(youtube/google). No scripting.

[analog wyvern]

what are some good udon tutorials? i mainly wanna add media and "immersive" speakers to my world? Do speakers/audio work on quest?

[lapis shell]

Not hard, make an array of audioclips that will play with an int counter, if the current audio song is done playing, increment the counter, and select the next song in the array to play. If the counter >= the audioclips length, reset it back to 0. I can work on it after work.

[crimson trench]

I have no idea how to fix this but whoever joins my world only sees a white mirror

[lapis shell]

I would just put in the Update method

[SerializeField] private AudioClip[] songs;
[SerializeField] private AudioSource audioSource;

private int playlistCounter = 0;

void Update(){
  if(!audioSource.isPlaying){
    IncrementPlaylistCounter();
    audiosource.clip = songs[playlistCounter];
    audioSource.Play();
    }
  }

private void IncrementPlaylistCounter(){
  playlistCounter++;
  if(playlistCounter >= songs.Length){
    playlistCounter = 0;
  }
}
}```

Note I just wrote this code in Discord, haven't tested it in-engine, but if you're a programmer you can fix if there are any bugs. 😛

[SDK3] What do I have to put on a video player (no interactive video player, just default video player game object) to make it work in SDK3 in comparison to SDK2?

[frigid estuary]

I'm using this game object...

and this game object.

The video does not play in vrchat but does play in Unity while game mode.
