[vagrant shale]

Vowgan's tutorials are good for a lot of fundamentals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BheVIHD3Vrg

[devout stratus]

Thanks kramps, now i owe you two lol

[vagrant shale]

You can add normal maps in the standard shader, not sure about bump maps

[visual tartan]

If I make an interior of the house I’ll use that lol. What did I do? XD full credit to Krampus! XD

[vagrant shale]

If it's procedural, you might have to bake it in Blender

[visual tartan]

I’ve tried and failed at that so I am good lol

[vagrant shale]

I'm not sure how Unity handles texture coordinates other than UV

I sculpt most of my normals using the multires modifier and then bake them to a normal map in Cycles

[visual tartan]

I’ll probably hop into vc tonight, I never did that last night

[vagrant shale]

Cool, I'll be around this evening.

[cobalt prawn]

I mean if it's just randomly generated bumpiness, you can find a tileable normal map of a bumpy surface that roughly matches and just slap that on everything

[visual tartan]

As long as that won’t have any stitchlines lol

[cobalt prawn]

Not if it's a tileable texture like this one, but ultimately that also depends on your UV mapping

[visual tartan]

Gotcha!

[cobalt prawn]

And if your UV mapping has ugly seams, you can instead try using a triplanar material/shader too, triplanar materials won't use uv maps and instead they just wrap a texture around an object so it looks consistent from every angle

[vagrant shale]

Won't that just overlay that over the UV tiles if you have a UV map? That's why it's nice how Blender will allow you to specify the texture coordinates and mapping.

Oh, never heard about a triplanar material

[cobalt prawn]

They are really nifty if you just want one consistent texture across an entire object and don't want to worry about uv mapping, like a marble statue for example

[visual tartan]

Alrighty, in about an hour or so, I should be fine to get onto VC to try and knock a few of these out of the park lol. I just got home so Imma relax and eat for a bit

[visual tartan]

Oh, huh. Interesting, there's no VC Channels lol, sorry I didn't realize

[unkempt bobcat]

What is the current supported version of Unity? Because the one the Documentation insists on (2019.4.31f LTS) is just giving me a pile of errors when I import the SDK 3. And updating the Packages doesn't seem to fix them. I've been sitting here for a hour trying to get it to work properly.

[visual tartan]

The current version supported for VRChat is the one you already have

[white moon]

That's the correct version.
Post the errors your getting and possibly we can help.

[unkempt bobcat]

Okay so I went and re-downloaded the World SDK and now it's saying it's a newer version than the one I downloaded last night. So it must have updated today.

Ah okay NVM, figure it out, Apparently the SDK I was importing is from an older SDK 3.

[visual tartan]

What is the best way to smooth out polygons in Unity?

[burnt bison]

How to create a custom invitee area in the world?

[green lagoon]

that's something you would have to modify in blender to change the smoothness groups

[visual tartan]

Darn it lol

[green lagoon]

in general Unity is not modeling software

[visual tartan]

That's some tough news to me right there lol

[green lagoon]

yeah you'll eventually have to learn blender to handle complicated stuff

[visual tartan]

No I know Blender like the back of my hand, the entire world was made in Blender than exported as an FBX into Unity

The problem is, I can't delete objects on that FBX in Unity apparently

Otherwise I'd happily replace it lol

[green lagoon]

wouldn't you just do the modifications to the fbx in blender & reexport

[visual tartan]

I am in a tricky situation right there lol

It's complicated... XD

[vagrant shale]

Unity also has an FBX exporter in the package manager if that helps at all.

[cobalt prawn]

You can select the model in your assets folder and change the import settings to set smoothness by angle. But you don't get much control with that

It's pretty dang easy to get a model into blender, select faces, and set them to shade smooth though, fwiw.

[visual tartan]

Imma try and go into detail why I can't really update the FBX lol

The whole world is a single FBX, I already scaled it up to size, to be appropriate to a regular sized avatar. If I redo the FBX, it'll import small again and I'll have to go through everything I added a Mesh Collider to lol

[green lagoon]

that wouldn't affect it scaling

[visual tartan]

Oh? Would it affect mesh colliders?

[green lagoon]

no because all of your scale modifiers have been done in unity so it would just apply the same modifiers to the fbx

[visual tartan]

I hope that works

[green lagoon]

if you're concerned you could always make a backup of the project

like modifying some smoothing groups doesn't change the scaling or object hierarchy

[visual tartan]

I could technically scale up the tower and place it over the other one lol

[winged kettle]

heyo, i'm pretty new to VRC world creating, but I'm a long time Unity dev, so I'm trying to wrap my head around what I can and can't do. The VRC docs say the default unity VideoPlayer component is whitelisted, but my player logs say it's getting removed when the world starts. Am I missing something?

[green lagoon]

there's no need to change any of that just to make the object more smooth in how it's lit

[green lagoon]

where are you grabbing the video player from

[winged kettle]

It's not a prefab, it's the literal built-in Video Player component unity has

[green lagoon]

that's going to be missing some of the vrchat parts that makes it work

so you'd probably wanted to grab the video player prefabs from the vrchat folders or Community made video players

[winged kettle]

I'm trying to just play a super small embedded mp4. I'm not worried about syncing or anything

[green lagoon]

I haven't really seen any videos in vrchat that aren't essentially the vrc video player with the menu hidden

[winged kettle]

I don't see any supported prefabs that play videos as assets unfortunately

hmm. Yeah I think I'm SOL then

[green lagoon]

any particular reason you couldn't use the vrchat video player

what are you trying to do in particular

[winged kettle]

I've got a TV prop in my world that I want to play a specific mp4 I have when a remote object is used. I could upload the vid to youtube probably

[visual tartan]

If I can delete this tower I am willing to reimport it lol

[winged kettle]

I did try that and got a weird error, let me see if I can replicate

[dusk sapphire]

You can't use the unity video component on sdk3 worlds, they are only whitelisted for sdk2. Unfortunately the vrc video components do not support embedded videos at this time

[green lagoon]

honestly that would be better youtube as you're not having the video make your world file size bigger and people can use the TV for other things then you're starting video

but you can have the VR chat video player start on a particular YouTube video when you start the world

[cobalt prawn]

Right click the root object in the hierarchy and then "unpack prefab"

[winged kettle]

Ok yeah, just threw a test video into the VRC Unity Video Player prefab and got these errors 🤔

[cobalt prawn]

Then you can modify it's children

[green lagoon]

does the video function correctly on YouTube

[winged kettle]

yup yup

[cobalt prawn]

VRC video players don't work in the editor, only in the vrchat client I believe

[winged kettle]

interesting, I'll try building it out

[green lagoon]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/video-players

[visual tartan]

Yeah I kinda wish this server had a VC lol I was planning to vc tonight to take care of this but nothin lol

[green lagoon]

the documentation for the video player

[winged kettle]

thank you

[winged kettle]

legend! it works in build, just not editor. fantastic!

[green lagoon]

excellent

[hazy badger]

I need a little help with Unity. I'm trying to make a vrc world which I plan on making into an actual game after I learn C++ but I don't know how to fix the texture material of a wall from resizing when I scale the size of the wall. I just want the texture material to stay the same size. Any ideas?

[cobalt prawn]

Change the tiling values on the material- like if you double the object's scale, double the tiling values to match

[bold ibex]

So, I have purchased a Climbing Udon Climbing script from HnF, but I want to set the climbing to SPECIFIC walls in my world, is anyone able to help me? So far, it applies to EVERYTHING and every wall and item. But I want a specific room set. What does it mean when it says this:

"This script will allow you to climb along any collider set to any layer that you spesify within the Wall Grab Layer. You can jump from surface to surface as well as fling yourself from surface to surface."

[cobalt prawn]

If you want a material to do this automatically, you can use a script to control those values, or you can use a special shader like a triplanar shader (but in that case you can't use your own uvs)

[bold ibex]

What does it mean by Along any Collider Set to Any Layer? Is there a way to change it so the walls I specify are the ones that can be climbed?

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah, it sounds like everything in every layer that is marked on that list will be climbable

[bold ibex]

Ahh I see.

May you explain if there is a way to change it? I'm very new to layers etc, and would love some help. ^^; If it's possible.

[cobalt prawn]

So you could create a new layer, and then make sure that's the only layer marked on that list, then throw all your climbable colliders on that layer

[bold ibex]

So make a new layer, called Climbable for example.

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah, you set and create layers through this dropdown

[bold ibex]

Like dis.

[cobalt prawn]

Yup

[bold ibex]

I seeee.

Then Just set the prefab to that layer ye?

[cobalt prawn]

And then select your climbable colliders, use that dropdown in the top right to set them to that layer

[bold ibex]

Like that?

[cobalt prawn]

And yeah mark only that layer on the prefab's dropdown list

[bold ibex]

So the prefab is set to that layer too?

[cobalt prawn]

No I don't think that will matter

The grab mask is what needs to be set to that layer

For the prefab

Like here you wanna unmark Default and mark Climbable

[bold ibex]

OOOOOOOOOO

HHH

I dont need to apply the script to the objects I want climbed, just change the layer to the climb ye?

[cobalt prawn]

Right, if I understand this asset correctly (I've never used it :P)

[bold ibex]

That's okay! :D

[cobalt prawn]

But now you need to select all your colliders that you want to be climbable, and make sure they are on the climbable layer

[bold ibex]

There was a main script prefab like this.

left hand side there.

And I set the wall grab mask on the right to the new layer I made is that correct? I'm learning so I'm sorry if I Did wrong. XD

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah that looks right

[bold ibex]

Since it was applying it to DEFAULT (aka everything).

But now it's on it's own layer.

So now, any item I want climbed, set to Climb layer.

like this wall?

[cobalt prawn]

Yup

[bold ibex]

I do appreciate it. :)

Layers are kinda newish to me.

But I guess the main one was set to DEFAULT so it was applying to everything in the world.

But on it's own layer, only things I select are the ones that are climbed.

I get that, yeah? :D

[cobalt prawn]

Exactly. Layers are probably most often used like this, as a way of grouping things so that their behaviors do not affect other layers

[bold ibex]

Brilliant! I get that. <3 Thanks again, lemme test.

Hmmmm.

It works but it makes my screen glitch. I might need to test it in test and build instead of Unity.

"This script will allow you to climb along any collider set to any layer that you spesify within the Wall Grab Layer. " So that inclines what we just said, about setting any layer we set.

[cobalt prawn]

There is also the layer collision matrix in the physics settings, which is where you can basically say "don't let this X layer interact with Y layer"

[bold ibex]

Oooo nice nice nice.

[cobalt prawn]

So that can occasionally cause issues, like if you're climbing and pulling yourself too close to the wall, you don't want your body collider to collide with the wall or it will be fighting the climbing movement

[bold ibex]

I thought that. ^

[cobalt prawn]

Not sure if that will apply here but it's the kind of thing you wanna be aware of

[bold ibex]

I tested it when it was on Default.

And it was fine.

But as soon as I made a new layer.

It was all ashgaioweghawoeghreg.

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm, I'm assuming you basically just want the Climb layer to have the same boxes checked as Default then, so it will behave roughly the same

[bold ibex]

So to get that matrix up? I can do that there.

So physics settings?

Upper left?

[cobalt prawn]

Project settings > physics yeah

[bold ibex]

Oooh okay okay

lemem do so

So the left side row?

[cobalt prawn]

So yeah that row down the left side is what you want to change. See how the intersections along the top between "default" and "playnoenvironment", "uimenu", and "ui" are unchecked? Make sure the intersections between Climb and those layers are also unchecked

[bold ibex]

3<

I hope thats what you mean

Or Im jsut dumb

XD

[cobalt prawn]

No heh, it's just a little weird to understand

Like this

[bold ibex]

I apologize if its frustrating. >_<

(I feel so bad if I'm bad at understanding. XD )

[cobalt prawn]

No worries, that looks right to me

[bold ibex]

I will test really quickly.

[cobalt prawn]

Because you see, now "default" and "climb" both have the same intersections disabled (the red X's and O's I drew)

[bold ibex]

I seeeee now!

Thank you for guiding me so far. ^^

It helps me learn.

Welp

Maybe it's just me. :P

Its like

glitching big time.

[cobalt prawn]

No dice? Hm

[bold ibex]

It's alright. Let me show you the package.

I wonder if there are others I can try?

https://booth.pm/en/items/2931113

[cobalt prawn]

Idk I'm guessing it's fine if it was working earlier, just takes some tinkering to get the layer thing right

[bold ibex]

-nod nod-

Honestly, I'm even willing to give someone the package as a gift to help me get it working for specific walls. :)

I appreciate you helping me learn though, Jason. :)

I wouldn't of known about layers properly until you showed me.

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm 🤔 kinda stumped though tbh

[bold ibex]

Well... I don't mind but, I can send it to you?

Even if you can't get it working, you can always have it as a thank you?

Little things mean a lot to me. :)

[cobalt prawn]

I don't think that's allowed since it's a paid package

[bold ibex]

I can pay again, it's okay. Double pay.

If it means possibly getting it working. :P I'm a silly dork.

[cobalt prawn]

Lol, well. Idk if I wanna hop on unity and go thru this right now. I don't need the package personally but I appreciate that

I do wanna see ya get it working though

[bold ibex]

I understand! I would not wish for you to go out your way for a random person. ^^;

It means a lot to me. I just wanted to make a fun bounce room and wall grabbing room!

I got the bounce mats working just fine.

Huzzuh! But I just liked the idea of players being able to grip the wall they aim for.

bouncy!

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah, I mean it shouldn't be too difficult to get the layers workin right, maybe someone else can help later or I can run thru it myself when I have more space to jump on

[bold ibex]

Sounds good. :) I'ma upload my world update for now. I fixed the jump height, I had users going through roof LOL.

[untold fiber]

Hi guys I’m pretty new here, I’m a 3d artist and would love to share some my architecture projects in VR Chat so my question is can I upload after one week after I registered? Thanks in advance

[green lagoon]

?upload

[odd rover]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

[untold fiber]

Thank you!

[gusty idol]

Hey guys, this problem has been bugging me for a while and I have no idea If there’s a fix for it. I have this ramp that extends over and up over some distance, but when I go up it, I jitter up it rather than going up it smoothly. It’s as if it’s like a tiny tiny staircase that is smooth to the naked eye. Any fix for this?

I tired making the ramp a plane, I tried probuilder, I tried rotating box meshes with game objects but nothing works

And it’s super weird because when I test it in unity it doesn’t show up but when I do it in VRChat it doesn’t work 😦

[hoary juniper]

hi, i starting a new world but i have a issue when i get close to object it disapear

is some unity setting?

[upper obsidian]

Camera setup in the editor and occlusion in the window menu.

[hazy badger]

How do I do that for the individual object and not every single object using the material?

[hoary juniper]

?

[stable tulip]

Disable Dynamic Clipping and set Near to 0.01

Make sure your Occlusion is baked up to date or clear it

[stable tulip]

You want to check out Blender or use Probuilder but I can't suggest that too much for performance reasons

[vagrant shale]

As far as I'm aware, you just have to duplicate the material if you want to change the tiling.

[vagrant shale]

If you can't fix it at the object level, I'd just remove the collider component and have the actual collision com from a plane that's angled to the same degree as the ramp.

[gusty idol]

Already tried that, read my second comment

[vagrant shale]

Did you turn off the collision on the original object? Because I'm not sure how adding a plane with a mesh collider on it isn't working

Do you just walk straight through it?

[gusty idol]

Yes so I literally just deleted the original object and just had a plane by itself out in the open and it was still happening. I’ll send a video when I get back from work

Perhaps my unity is cursed or something

[visual tartan]

Heya folks, I followed a tutorial how to put a mirror in the scene, but the mirror is toggled on at first, where it needs to be toggled off, how do I switch it to where the mirror is toggled off at first?

[vagrant shale]

So you had the collision but it still had the stair step effect? Yeah, I'd need to see a video for that.

[vagrant shale]

If you select the object and go to the inspector, in the top left of that menu, there should be a checkbox to turn it off.

I assume you have some sort of set active program you're using to turn it on

[visual tartan]

Thanks man. You are awesome for all the help you are giving everyone.

[vagrant shale]

Sure, no worries.

[visual tartan]

This is the UDON Graph for it

[vagrant shale]

Yup, that looks right. You'll use that same basic graph for a lot of stuff so it's good to memorize it. That will only turn the object on for you but that's what you generally want for a mirror. If you want to turn something on for everyone, I can show you how that looks, it's just a couple more nodes.

[visual tartan]

Oh I mean the setting like that has the mirror turned on by default

[vagrant shale]

That node setup just basically gets its current state and then flips it and sets that to the new state, so if it's off, it'll turn it on and if it's on, it'll turn it off.

[visual tartan]

Oh gotcha, now what you said above, where can I find that again?

The checkbox?

[vagrant shale]

You'll need to have the mirror selected in the scene

[visual tartan]

Gotcha

[vagrant shale]

If you want a button that just turns something on or just turns it off, you can lose the getactiveself and the unary negation node and just use setactive and then there's a checkbox for whether you want to set something on or off. That's good for basic syncing as if you have something turned off by default and you toggle it before someone enters the instance, they aren't going to get that state change and it's going to be permanently desynced for them where it will be off for them when it's on for you and vice versa.

But it's fine for a local mirror

[visual tartan]

Yeah I just want the mirror local

I can't seem to find the turn off button though

[vagrant shale]

You need to have your inspector panel open, maybe you have the lighting panel or something else open?

Maybe screenshot your screen?

[dapper granite]

Have anyone ran into this where ClientSim asks you to correct Input Axes Settings and then you click Apply but it keeps getting this error everytime I try to go into Playmode? I can't seem to resolve this. It was working fine a few moments ago i don't think i've changed anything that would mess with input mapping.

[visual tartan]

Here ya go

[vagrant shale]

Not sure on that one, that's standard setup stuff for a VRChat world but applying it should work. I assume you've restarted Unity? Maybe try reinstalling the SDK?

[visual tartan]

OH THE- Sorry, wow lol

[dapper granite]

I've tried restarting Unity, Uninstalling and Reimporting ClientSim package (through the Creator Companion), tried resetting Input Manager on Project Settings. The thing is if I Build & Test it seems to work fine, but i can't test it in Unity. i'll try resinstalling the SDK, maybe it helps

[vagrant shale]

I still haven't gotten around to messing with the creator companion stuff so maybe that's the culprit but I guess most people are using it without issue. You could try exporting the scene as a prefab with dependencies and opening it in a new project but I'm not sure if that would help.

[dapper granite]

If everything fails I'll probably try that. There's not much in the scene tbf, just meshes and the VRCWorld thingies. I just was blocking in the Scene and stuff.

Actually Reinstalling everything Seem to have worked. Thanks for the assistance anyways. I was just bummed because the only thing i could find on it was an unanswered git issue ticket on the ClientSim github but it solved itself i guess.

[vagrant shale]

Cool. It would be nice to understand why things do what they do but if things start working again, I try not to question it.

[sacred warren]

If I want to disable an AVPro video component on the fly, I apparently need to reference it by name, but does anyone know how to find the real component name for it?

[gusty idol]

its very minor but very disorienting in vr

[gaunt egret]

remove ur mods man

[vagrant shale]

Are you sure that there's nothing hidden that could still have collision on it? What happens if you put that plane in another part of the room? Is it still bumpy? It's possible there's some minor unevenness even on planes that I've never noticed because I don't usually play with my head on the ground but that doesn't seem right.

[gusty idol]

eh

magically disappeard

[gaunt egret]

likely to get banned from this discord for using them, but it could also be the cause for this

don't ask for help when you have mods

[gusty idol]

It's not the cause of it anyways

[gaunt egret]

it could but alright!

[gusty idol]

I brought other people in the world to test it out? I know it's not that

[gaunt egret]

check stairs in blender. if the ramp looks like this its still going to catch the corners of the stairs

[gusty idol]

What does blender have to do with any of this

its a plane in unity

[gaunt egret]

the stairs themselves did not look like a flat plane for the top of it

[gusty idol]

Ill try moving it

[vagrant shale]

Sometimes there can be objects hidden that still have collision on. Not sure if that's the case but if you move it across the room and it doesn't do this then that would seem to be the culprit. If it's still bouncy then I'm a little stumped but it would also be nice to see it from a normal height as most people aren't going up stairs from that perspective.

[gaunt egret]

if there's still stair collision you need to take it into blender to make an appropriately fitting ramp or completely disable the collision on the stairs themselves

[gusty idol]

Yea so I have hopped into vr to test it out, its very noticable and since this map will be used for shooting combat stuff, that jitter will get annoying quick

[gaunt egret]

if the stairs are apart of the whole building, as in one piece, then it needs to be separated in blender

[gusty idol]

Again, not in blender

its a p l a n e

in unity

unless I can export that plane into blender and fix it i have no idea what you're talking about

[gaunt egret]

something below the plane is causing the issue is what it looks like?

i am aware that its a P La Ne in unity

[gusty idol]

Then why are you asking me to go into blender

my entire workflow is in unity

nothing is coming from blender

[gaunt egret]

because i don't know if your whole building is 1 mesh or not

or what kind of colliders you're using

if your whole building is 1 mesh, and you disable the collision on it, youll just fall through

[gusty idol]

Yes?

It's not one mesh though

[gaunt egret]

disable the mesh collider on the stairs

the whole point of putting it into blender is making the plane mesh accurate to the stairs

[gusty idol]

Already did that

[gaunt egret]

like the image i gave earlier

[gusty idol]

There's no stairs

There is literally no stairs

Im not trying to smooth out stairs.

Im trying to smooth out a ramp

that is a plane

that is flat

[gaunt egret]

l0l

[gusty idol]

but is bumpy

[gaunt egret]

good luck bro

[stone marsh]

Is it fairly steep?

[gaunt egret]

they use mods, i wouldn't bother

[gusty idol]

Riley what is up with you man,

[gaunt egret]

you'd be surprised as to what issues they can cause even if someone is using them for non harmful reasons

[stone marsh]

Please leave bickering out of dev help channels.

Is the ramp fairly steep? There's a transitional slope limit where you can no longer walk up a slope. Your ramp may be just at this slope angle.

[gusty idol]

Ill make a video give me a moment

[stone marsh]

I'm on mobile so that may or may not help.

But, you may want to do simple tests to ensure it's simply not the angle of the slope.

Make a few different slopes, just at different angles, and see if the issue persists on all slope angles.

A screenshot of the project may be useful

[gusty idol]

ok i delete then

[median briar]

Is it just wishful to think I can use this in vrc?

it works in unity/emulation -- but I only see the first frame when testing in vrc

[stone marsh]

Is it just an MP4 clip?

Cuz we can't do that anymore

[vagrant shale]

Video players are difficult in VRChat, I use Techanon's ProTV player and upload videos to VRCDN https://ask.vrchat.com/t/protv-by-architechanon-usage-guides-and-walkthroughs/7029

[stone marsh]

That's not what he was doing

[median briar]

right -- trying to play a video in the project

[stone marsh]

In sdk3 we're unable to play MP4 video files directly like we used to be able to. It results in the first frame and nothing else loading. You'll want to offload it to a online service and stream it in. It's shitty cuz that was nice for animations where latency and syncing are important

[median briar]

not via url

ugh... yep, there's the crux of the issue

[stone marsh]

If it's small, it will load fast for everyone so syncing should be less of an issue at least.

If it's small, you can also bake the video into a shader and then just play the audio using a sound source. But file size.

[median briar]

url's haven't been reliable, especially on quest

bake into a shader ey?

[stone marsh]

Oh, quest. Ye.

[median briar]

the video is like... 12mb

I'd be down to try that, honestly

[stone marsh]

Depends more on length. More frames = giga shader lol

You'd still have to worry about syncing the audio with it. But may be easier

[gusty idol]

@stone marsh

Found that the shallow slopes have more of a problem but the steep one works just fine

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried slopes in other worlds? Just trying to make sure it's the geometry and not something with your avatar or application.

[stone marsh]

I'll need to look it up, there's a few scripts/Shaders that can do what I was talking about that should work for quest. But they're all paid. I can shoot ya a message later if I remember lol. Iirc the main one was on Gumroad. But maybe it was a Patreon. Lmao.

Either way. Pros and cons of any approach. I do wish we could just play a mp4 tho. Tedious. Forgot why that happened.

[stone marsh]

Ah yes. That's normal.

[gusty idol]

Cool, that's all I wanted to know

[stone marsh]

The slight stair stepping was introduced like 4-6 months back in a update. It was way worse in some beta builds. Was almost entirely removed but ya can still see it slightly depending on the slope if you really look

[gusty idol]

It's very dissorienting in vr at least for me so

Guess I'll redesign the map 😢

[stone marsh]

Most don't seem to notice it. But it really depends on the slope. So may be wise to alter your slope slightly. I'm sure it will get improved eventually

[gusty idol]

Yea ill just shorten it until it works lol

[median briar]

I'd love to find a solution for this and any help is very much appreciated.

[stone marsh]

You probably have errors in your console

If ya hit clear, you can hide the yellow triangle warnings and info blurbs in the top right corner.

Only thing left should be some red stop sign errors that didn't clear.

Take a screenshot of these. Showing the top bar of the console so we can ensure we're seeing all of them.

Please ensure you're not in play mode when doing this.

[vagrant shale]

Why do you just have an object called SceneDescriptor? Just drag in VRCWorld.

[stone marsh]

Don't worry about that yet lol

[gusty idol]

Thank you merc and krampus for helping out btw appreciate it

[vagrant shale]

Sure, sorry there's no simple solution, I guess my ramps just tend to be steep enough that I don't run into this issue.

[stone marsh]

Yeah. Just do what I asked and I can take a better look lol

That's not your issue

[vagrant shale]

I assume you made an object called SceneDescriptor because the SDK said it needed one. VRCWorld already has one of those but alright, try it this other way.

[stone marsh]

No... You didn't. But okay. >.>

[gaunt egret]

"Showing the top bar of the console so we can ensure we're seeing all of them."

[stone marsh]

That's not what I asked for....

Without seeing the top bar I can't tell if I am seeing all the errors so we're left to just make guesses

[vagrant shale]

||Try it Merc's way if you want but if that doesn't work, just delete the Scenedescriptor object and search your project down in the bottom for VRCWorld and drag that in||

[stone marsh]

Idk how many times people have said it was everything but there was actually like 20 more errors lol

[gusty idol]

New people like myself really don't understand stuff like this. It's intuitive for you guys since you've done it for a while but it's not so easy for us lol

💀

[stone marsh]

Did you actually install UdonSharp?

[gusty idol]

yea redo sometimes work

[stone marsh]

Your main hard error is complaining about not having U#.

Note, using beta software while still learning is not advisable. U# 1.0 beta has a lot of issues still and will break many assets.

[vagrant shale]

Unless the creator companion changed how this works, you don't really need UdonSharp unless you intend to use UdonSharp scripts and I'm not sure why that would be causing issues with your scenedescriptor if you aren't using any in your scene

[gaunt egret]

why not just do it manually? someone else had this problem a while ago even with udon inside while using the creator companion

dragging and dropping isn't hard

the entire project

[stone marsh]

Would be best to just start a new project using the current live SDK off of the website and downloading the current live U#. Using CC and U# beta isn't advisable unless you know what you're doing and are okay with dealing with issues.

Do any of you know where I can find a city skyline skybox similar (or the same one) to the ones used in for example midnight rooftop?

I do not know what to do

[bold ibex]

Is there an easy way to see the size of the world before upload?

[near escarp]

You can only tell after upload due to all the different kinds of compressions

[bold ibex]

Damn, is there any way to see big sizes of files in the project so I can hopefully compress them? My worlds at like 300 mb haha...

[near escarp]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases

Great way to see a breakdown of items !

[green lagoon]

using the feature where it loads up the world locally for testing would count for the being able to tell how much is in it

and that tool also has a crunch compress everything in the scene setting

[bold ibex]

Just got this from a friend

[near escarp]

You can even set users to 0 for local test, and then check in the toolkit !

[bold ibex]

Seems like a lifesaver haha

[near escarp]

[green lagoon]

definitely wouldn't surprise me if VRWorldToolkit ends up on the community creator companion tab

[sullen fiber]

Wonder if anyone can help me? I have a gun system in place but when people use the second grip (Like a forward grip), it isn't synced on the other players end. Meaning on your end, you are aiming at them, but visually on the other person end, they are not. It doesn't effect damage or anything, just makes the visuals look wonky.

[wooden merlin]

dangit i just had an idea for a world and now i gotta start learning world building to make it. 😛

[green lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLi52YrrDmY&list=PLPdWkxUSZ65Fp6ICrU7mIq1znAfPwMhNZ currently my favorite tutorial for starting World building

[wooden merlin]

will that series go through udon cause i think i'mma need some udon.

[green lagoon]

I don't think so but it would cover the basic stuff to handle like mirror toggles

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon

[atomic glade]

So real quick question, how can I fix my Unity & SDK simply not letting me upload the world? Only errors it's throwing up is this, clicking the button simply just does nothing

[visual tartan]

Something I am considering adding to my world, how do i add a url video player?

[green lagoon]

grab a video player prefab out of the vrchat sdk folder or find a comunitymade video player

[sacred warren]

For some reason I'm missing the additional VRC layers. Is there any way of getting it to add them back?

[white gulch]

anyone know how to fix toggles not working cross platform or syncing. I have a barrier for a club but if a pc person uses it the quests arent affected by it and vise versa

[vagrant shale]

Is it using a sendcustomnetworkevent node? If not, it will be local regardless of platform. Platform shouldn't generally matter unless you have different versions published for different platforms.

[vagrant shale]

PC or Quest? If you want it to work for Quest, I recommend Techanon's ProTV but if you want to just put a Youtube link in and have everyone see it, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Cross-platform video playing takes some work especially if it isn't your own content.

Unless you're willing to put in some time downloading programs and troubleshooting, I'd just go to one of the worlds that has video libraries set up for you.

[visual tartan]

Ah darn

[near escarp]

Might have to manually copy the layer matrix, I've never seen that issue before

[visual tartan]

I’ll probably look more into that later then. Is it as simple to have my world be both Quest and PC btw? Does it cost money to make my world public?

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, you just have to switch the build target in the builder and make sure you've published for both platforms. Making a world public doesn't cost money but you need to be user rank to submit a world to community labs and then it needs to get through that process to be truly public.

[visual tartan]

I forgot what my rank is haha

I can try and look it up

[vagrant shale]

If you're a high enough level, you should have the option to submit a world to community labs in the portion of the build process where you give your world a name and a thumbnail. I think you can only submit one world a week but you can edit it after submission.

Getting to user doesn't take too long, a few days to a week depending on whether you're keeping to yourself or mingling and making friends.

[visual tartan]

I wish I knew all this last month lol. I was aiming to have my world uploaded by May 27th. I ended up almost giving up cause Unity gave me that pink screen. But it wasn’t until last week I really wanted to not give up and do what I could to make it happen. A few days ago someone made another world veryyy similar to mine, which was uploaded May 30th, so I just feel kind of salty I didn’t do this sooner lol.

[green lagoon]

there is no cost to making a world public

[visual tartan]

Yeee

[vagrant shale]

Better late than never so next time you'll know more and can do something even better.

[visual tartan]

Exactly

Funny thing is, I was using another world similar to the one I was making for reference lol. So I would have been the 2nd world. But now there’ll be 3. I’ll make more worlds of the show though, like locations wise.

[surreal nebula]

What's the blender add-on that lets you select what you want to export?

[vagrant shale]

I don't think it's an add-on, there should just be a check box in the exporter for "selected objects only"

Looks like you have problems with Udon (Captain Obvious, I know). Try importing it again, I guess?

🙌

[cobalt prawn]

It's common for errors and warnings to pop up immediately after importing assets, I usually click "clear" after importing and if errors are still present then those are the ones to worry about

Specifically for importing though

[dark orbit]

I'm really curious, is it actually possible to create a procedurally generated 'infinite' world in VRChat? Similar to minecraft in that only a region of 'chunks' around each player actually render. I have seen very little about this concept and I'm wondering if there's some really obvious limitation to VRChat I'm missing

[vagrant shale]

You can set up an LOD component to completely cull an object at a certain distance so that part is kind of doable, procedurally generating voxel biomes would probably be more complicated.

[modern kayak]

the procedural generation part is 100% doable. The tricky part is when you get over 10k meters away from 0,0,0 and things get wiggly from floating point precision

[green lagoon]

and the normal method fixing that would get a bit weird with procedural generation like that

[modern kayak]

You could mitigate that by teleporting the player back and moving the terrain, but that has problems when there are multiple people in the instance, they'll see each other in their "real" position rather than the faked position, which could be completely wrong

but you can mitigate that as well by using station shenanigans to move remote players around without affecting the local player

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah the multiplayer component of that trick seems like it'd be really difficult with all the station shenanigans. One of the vrc flight sim devs has made this but it isn't public afaik, and I think one or two other worlds

[visual tartan]

I have another question

if I have the world published for Public, how easy would it be to add new things?

I know's SUPER easy to "Build & Test."

[vagrant shale]

Just as simple as publishing it again, public worlds don't operate any differently from private worlds in terms of updating.

[bold ibex]

what do i sue to upload worlds like the vrc scene descriptor coz its not showing

[vagrant shale]

Search your project for VRCWorld, that comes with a scene descriptor, a spawn point, all that good stuff. All you need for a VRChat world is that and a plane to keep you from perpetually falling and I guess technically even that is negotiable.

[visual tartan]

So Krampus, if I upload the world right now publicly, I could make changes on Unity and then publish it again with the updated stuff? Do I need to go through a process like how I do when uploading for the first time?

And process I mean community labs

[vagrant shale]

No, once a world is in community labs, it's in and it stays in unless you choose to remove it, whether you make changes to it or not. Once it gets enough traffic to leave community labs and become truly public, it remains public unless you choose to make it private again, at which point I presume it would need to go through the process again. But updating the world has no impact on any of this unless you break the world which might impact its ability to make it out of community labs or fix it which might hasten the process.

[visual tartan]

Awesome! Didn’t know it was that easy. I might publish it as a private world just to bring other friends to while I am working on it still

And then once I think I am ready for public, I will submit it to community labs. Or do I have to upload it there no matter what?

I am so sorry, I know I am probably repeating questions...

[vagrant shale]

It has to go through community labs to become public. Community labs is an opt-in selection of worlds that acts as a filter that keeps particularly problematic worlds from being made public.

[visual tartan]

So if I just publish it for myself, I can bring friends without going through Community Labs?

Cause if so, I'll upload it like now lol

[green lagoon]

yes

[visual tartan]

Thank goodness.

[green lagoon]

Community lab is just if you want strangers to visit

[solar flax]

I got a question regarding pickups. What exactly determines the glowing outline? some of my objects have it around the mesh, some have it around the collider

[cobalt prawn]

I believe it's the collider, so the objects that have it around the mesh are probably just using mesh colliders?

[solar flax]

thats what I thought, but I've checked them all, they use box colliders

[cobalt prawn]

Ah, in that case I think it depends on whether the object that has the pickup script attached has a mesh, or if the mesh is a child of that object

[solar flax]

the parameters are all the same except the collider dimensions and the transform component

[solar flax]

doesn't look like it, I have pickups attached to empty gameobjects with mesh children and its still inconsistent

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm guess I'm wrong then lol sorry. I was quite curious about this myself at one point but guess I can't remember if I reached any conclusions or what they were 😅

[solar flax]

haha that's cool

I just can't find any documentation on it so I thought I'd ask

[cobalt prawn]

Yea it's a good question

Are they all on the same layer?

[solar flax]

yup

they're all on the pickup layer

wait

I might have an Idea

[cobalt prawn]

Hmmm

[gaunt egret]

could try making the empty the child of the mesh

mine are all outlined normally

[solar flax]

my guess is that it has to be a mesh renderer, not a skinned mesh renderer

[solar flax]

huh, i'll give that a try

[gaunt egret]

no guarantees, mine just "worked" when i made them lol

[solar flax]

does the collider go onto the empty gameobject or the mesh?

[cobalt prawn]

Oh ya I haven't been able to get a pickup glow outline from skinned mesh, don't think it works for those

[gaunt egret]

mesh

the empty gameobject is for the exact grip

[solar flax]

hmm i'll give it a try

[gaunt egret]

hrmm i just found the video i used ages ago, not sure if it could be of any help to you since it seems like you already got it down but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXR2oXdMA4&

its kind of slow but /shrug

[solar flax]

I actually used that vid a week ago lol

[gaunt egret]

oh lol nice

[solar flax]

I'm pretty new to the sdk so I was just watching whatever videos I could find

yeah no didn't work

I guess i'm gonna have to stick to box outlines

yeaah its the skinned mesh, it doesn't work with skinned meshes

[pulsar mountain]

is URP compatible with vrc worlds?

[wild ginkgo]

is there a tutorial or anything on how to make noise cancelling walls? idk how to explain it, but i have these cubicle rooms and i am wanting to add buttons to put a visibility blocker (not a problem), a lock on the room (not a problem), and a button to block sound from the outside main room (the problem). Is there a script or something in the sdk that does this already?

[upper obsidian]

There is no such thing, you can only adjust the sound radius. And add all sorts of filters with effects locally when entering a certain zone.

[wild ginkgo]

the filters must be what it is then, but ive seen worlds with this concept. you click a button and it puts up a partial transparent wall and you cant hear anybody on the otherside talking until you walk in and the people inside cant hear people outside. It is definitely possible, i just dont know how to explain it well or how its possible

[gaunt egret]

might be worth checking out vrcprefabs

i swear ive seen something similar to what you're looking for

[wild ginkgo]

yeah, i was thinking it would of been part of one of the private room prefabs, but i dont think so, i downloaded one and not seeing anything like it. ill try looking over the whole doc again though

[upper obsidian]

https://github.com/Guribo/UdonVoiceUtils

But this is only voice channel management. Everything else is as it was and will be.

[wild ginkgo]

ok this looks promising, the private channels i think could work from what im seeing, if its based on collision to swap a players channel, it could work, thank you though for this

[graceful plover]

With the UdenSyncPlayer, how do I make it so the audio is like global

Somewhere in here I think but idk what I

'm looking at

Or like

How do you make a youtube video background noise global you know?

[upper obsidian]

Read the udon documentation in the network section

[visual tartan]

Something I wanted to ask last night but got too tired, I uploaded the world as private, unfortunately it uploaded as PC only, is there a way to do both Quest and PC?

[remote bobcat]

switch target to android when uploading

[crimson sand]

can someone help me ???

[visual tartan]

Alrighty, if I click on set to android, and nothing happened, is something actually happening? XD

Oh, apparently androidplayer is disabled lol

[glass moon]

Do you make collision boxes in Blender or in Unity?

[visual tartan]

Me?

I set everything as a collision in Unity

Oh, probably the guy above haha

[kindred kestrel]

is the vrc youtube api down or something atm or is the udonsharp video player api down? doing testing for a new update to my club and the video player is down

[glass moon]

Overall

Are you supposed to make collision in Blender or Unity?

[stone marsh]

Unity

[visual tartan]

Oh sorry you were the one asking the question

Yeah Unity.

[glass moon]

Oki, got it

[upper orchid]

I'm still having an issue where rigid bodies are falling through colliders at the start but when they respawn they work normally. This happens in editor too. Anyone ever run across this?

I'd prefer not to just script them to spawn after X seconds or something

I've tried added box colliders instead of mesh colliders under them and it doesn't seem to make a difference

[stone marsh]

Once they respawn they rest fine?

Tried moving them up slightly, they may be too low.

Making a script to spawn them a few seconds after player load is trivial tho. Especially with cyan triggers.

Ensure the bounds of the collider tightly match the pickup.

[brisk bane]

https://youtu.be/42RcpRN5iK4 Does anyone know where the assets and textures of this world are? I've been tryna find it for a couple days now

[vagrant shale]

No, just Unity's standard pipeline

[visual tartan]

Alright, how do I fix the “adroidplayer is disabled”? I tried to google it but there wasn’t a straight answer and I trust you guys

[vagrant shale]

It's best to just have android built support checked when you create the project which it should be by default but this should allow you to install it after the fact https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html

[visual tartan]

Thank you so much! I’ll try that tonight

[visual tartan]

Krampus I assume you probably have some awesome VRChat worlds out there with all that experience?

[vagrant shale]

Haven't released a world that's just my own in some time, I usually work with a couple other world builders. Welcome to Respite is the main one I was directly involved with and you can see part of that but my worlds aren't really intended for people to go in and explore, they're live theatre worlds that are designed to be operated by trained actors. You can go to the Welcome to Respite Credits world and there's more to see there but that's mostly the work of one of our other world builders, Screaming Color. The same is true for Gumball Dreams, that's Screaming Color's work but you really need the actor there to experience it properly. I am working on a Halloween show that is primarily my own work but that's not ready to show right now. We don't have any shows currently available but I can give you a heads up when we do if you're interested.

[solar flax]

How do I create glowing UI elements? I've seen worlds with glowing UI toggles and stuff, but I can't figure out how to do it

[vagrant shale]

There are probably some shaders that handle this in different ways but glow is usually controlled by the emission channel in your material. You can set a color and change the intensity and depending on the post-processing in the world, the material will appear to be glowing if the intensity of the emission is high enough. Perhaps that not what you're looking for, do you happen to have a picture?

[solar flax]

actually thats what i'm going for, its just that UI materials dont have emissions as far as I'm aware

can't seem to find them on textmesh pro materials too

[vagrant shale]

Post-processing only works on PC, though, on Quest you have to fake it with shaders. Maybe they're using a UI shader that does have emission? Might be worth searching for emissive UI or something on booth or gumroad.

[solar flax]

well i've tried but i've found nothing so far, maybe I just gotta keep looking

[vagrant shale]

There are also ways to do text that isn't textmesh, it could just be a standard material with a transparent texture but that's just guessing.

[solar flax]

thats my last resort lol, but i've seen so many worlds use glowing text, i'm not sure if thats the right way lol

[left rain]

if you want your text to glow, apply an HDR color to it and use postprocessing glow. to avoid the entire UI layer (and possibly the rest of your level) blowing out, use a color value somewhere above 1.0 and set your glow threshold to be around that same value

[solar flax]

oh okay, I can't believe I didn't think this through lol

whenever I assigned regular materials, they all just turned into boxes, but I forgot to set it to cutout or transparent lol

brain fart

[left rain]

tmp uses its own materials iirc but you can set the color to emissive values (meaning above 1.0)

[vagrant shale]

Unfortunately, I think it's just RGB values, no intensity on text mesh

[left rain]

hm i know i saw HDR options in older TMP materials

well, if not that, you can use this shader: https://github.com/SenshiSentou/UIGlow/blob/master/DefaultHDR.shader

create a material for that and assign it to your UI text, then you can set HDR values for it and combine that with post-process glow

[fickle quail]

Is the Vrchat youtube API having problems? Asking for a friend who didn't get answered.

Video players work on my end, idk why they aren't working on his end.

[cobalt prawn]

Are they on quest? YouTube specifically doesn't work on quest but other sites do

[fickle quail]

Nah, PC. He's troubleshooting random stuff now.

(he found out /why/ it ain't working, sort of)

[upper orchid]

Sorry work exploded right after I posted this. Ya they respawn fine, and I have tried moving them up much higher and it still doesn't fix anything, it seems like the colliders are taking at least a second or two to like... work?? And I can definitely script it but I'd really like to figure out why it's happening

[nocturne crown]

is it possible to replicate bloom for quest? or to make neon lights seem very bright

this is the world im doing and Id like the neon lights to be bright and act like light sources

[green lagoon]

maybe see if you could get the glow to be baked on the baked lighting?

[nocturne crown]

I can try that, im trying to make it so the emission glows bright and the world would be dark ish

kinda like this

[green lagoon]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Light-Baking

[nocturne crown]

would this work for quest though?

[green lagoon]

that should definitely be doable with baking

[nocturne crown]

ill attempt thanks

sorry, just want to be sure, which one is it?

[green lagoon]

you don't need to use any of those just using the built-in light Baker

[stuck ice]

Anyone know world optimization tips? I'm on my 2nd ever VRChat world and even though its only one room, its 117 mb and laggy. I don't really know what it could be. The assets were made for vrchat so im unsure of whats causing the size to be so big.

[left rain]

get the VRC World Toolkit and check your texture usage. world size is almost always due to enormous uncompressed textures

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit this can tell you what's taking up file size and are you using real-time lighting

[stuck ice]

Okay thank you, im using mixed lighting

baking tends to look really shit because i dont know how to use it properly

[nocturne crown]

oh so is the light baking thing just a how to? sorry a bit confused 😅

[green lagoon]

it's much better for performance for vrchat using all baked lighting

[green lagoon]

yes

[left rain]

optimizing framerate is another story entirely and there's a number of things you can do, it's hard to go into all of them in detail. most importantly is baking lights and avoiding real-time lighting whenever possible. the next most important thing is reducing the number of materials in your scene, and this is typically done through material atlasing or trim sheets.

[stuck ice]

Tips on how to make baked lighting look good then lol, please?

[left rain]

if you have a large scene, occlusion culling can go a long way.

[nocturne crown]

ah ok thanks, hopefully it does work for quest too

[green lagoon]

I supposed to tutorial I linked earlier would be helpful and that's not quite enough info to know why it bad for you

[stuck ice]

Alright thank you

<3

[green lagoon]

yes baked lighting works on the quest it's practically mandatory

[stuck ice]

Also, is there a way to compress materials or make them lower quality manually in unity?

[nocturne crown]

i meant the bloom look but im just hoping I get it to look good 😅

[green lagoon]

I would worry about the bloom after you get the map to Ashley have any lighting

[left rain]

each texture has its own import settings; this includes maximum resolution and crunch compression

[nocturne crown]

ill prob have to crank the emmission up by a ton to give the effect

[green lagoon]

the vrchat world toolkit also has a crunch compress everything button

[left rain]

the VR World Toolkit we linked to above has a Mass Texture Import tool

yeah beat me to it

[stuck ice]

ah

thank you guys very much

<3

[green lagoon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/FrameDebugger.html I suppose you could also use this to see what's taking up all of your FPS but it's a bit more advanced

[stuck ice]

FPS is okay, theres a bit of framerate drops but its mostly for quest

i made it quest compatible on a private version that was lower than 100 mb

my quest friends who joined literally had to restart their headset

[green lagoon]

definitely sounds like it needs optimizing

[stuck ice]

yeah

if i run into anymore issues ill ask you guys

[green lagoon]

cool

[glass moon]

How would one go about creating a collider

[left rain]

add a collider component to an object. there's a bunch of different kinds. avoid mesh colliders unless you really need them.

[glass moon]

So then is that it or do I also have to give it a custom collider box?

[left rain]

collider components define the box, or whatever other shape. if you add a box collider component to an object, you can click the button on the component to shape the collider however you like.

[glass moon]

How would one get to a test world?

the "build and test" thing

[green lagoon]

yes https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/using-build-test

[glass moon]

Ok, problem

My client won't boot up

[spice crescent]

this is my 2nd world is getting out on labs in 2 days and 2000 visits in 1 day any good?

[glass moon]

someone please

[stone marsh]

Please what?

[spice crescent]

probably this

[glass moon]

Yeah

[vagrant shale]

What do you means? Like for build and test? I still haven't bothered with the creator companion so I can't help you there. Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?

[glass moon]

-w-

That won’t work with Udon

[vagrant shale]

But you can still publish, right? That's usually what I do but I know that some people prefer to launch tests directly from/in Unity. Do you get any errors or does it just not go anywhere?

[spice crescent]

make sure it has the right .exe

[glass moon]

My file explorer isn’t responding what

[spice crescent]

right click on file explorer and go downloads try that

?

[glass moon]

This one?

[spice crescent]

yeah then vrchat

[glass moon]

That's what I did

[spice crescent]

that one right

[glass moon]

Yep

[spice crescent]

1 sec

leme open unity

[glass moon]

Is this troublesome?

[spice crescent]

something to do with cinamachine

[glass moon]

?

[spice crescent]

and also something with Udon

[glass moon]

I didn’t use Udon at all yet

[spice crescent]

try reimporting it

[glass moon]

I haven’t even opened Udon

[spice crescent]

might have imported incorrectly

[glass moon]

It was because I didn't have a spawn set

because I didn't know how to set a spawn

[vagrant shale]

Are you using VRCWorld, by chance or did you make your own scene descriptor? People seem to have trouble with that.

[glass moon]

And there’s no collision

And my mouse isn’t working

I'm gonna restart my computer

[glass moon]

How do I make mirrors

and chairs

[spice crescent]

search assets and type VRCMirror

[glass moon]

Also where would I find the jump height, movement speed, etc in the inspector? I can’t seem to find it

[spice crescent]

1 sec

make sure u have a VRCWorld in your scene then hit play

wait 1 sec

cyan emu

i think

click on your VRCworld and at the bottom of the inspector it has it there

[glass moon]

K, thx

Ok, so

I can't see my uploaded world

[vagrant shale]

Can't see it where? In your "Mine" list in VRChat? Did you build for PC/Android or just Build and Test?

[wild ginkgo]

has anyone used Guribos private voice channels before and got it working? im having trouble getting it to work even with following their step by step tutorial

[nocturne crown]

is it possible to make a spritesheet gif on a tv? as well for quest? if quest doesnt work thats not too worrisome

[vagrant shale]

I've gotten Guribo's mics to work but not the private voice channels.

[vagrant shale]

I don't know about making it adhere to the surface of a TV if there is a non-flat surface but you can definitely replace a flat screen with a sprite sheet animation and that will work for Quest.

[nocturne crown]

awesome! any idea how to make it? or any tutorials you can find?

[vagrant shale]

It's pretty simple, you just bring your frames in, change the texture type to Sprite (2D and UI) in the import settings, then select them all and drag them into your scene. Unity will figure out what you're trying to do and prompt you to create an animation, call that whatever you like and save it and then you'll have an object in your scene with the looping sprite animation.

[bold ibex]

Can Anyone tell me why this is showing up while im trying to upload a world for quest?

It's Saying "android sample scene does not exist."

[stone marsh]

Please post a screenshot showingall of the red stop sign errors

[bold ibex]

alright

[bold ibex]

Thats whats been happening

[stone marsh]

Are you using UdonSharp 1.0 beta from the CC?

[bold ibex]

Hmm I Think so im not sure

im using it for a keypad for the world

[bold ibex]

Im Using UdonSharpv0.20.3

[toxic slate]

Did anyone recently have their world deleted recently? I have a pretty tame world that had been out of labs for several months that seemed to get removed for no good reason. Im not sure if they give out warnings or tell you why it was removed.

[visual tartan]

You'd think they'd give you a reason...

I am sorry man

[toxic slate]

Just wondering if maybe I got caught in a random wave of deletions, yeah no message or anything

[near escarp]

That may have been part of an ongoing issue we're investigating, please reach out to the support if you have any information about your missing world !

[nocturne crown]

so I need to separate the gif into every frame it contains?

[wild ginkgo]

So i have a game where the player presses the start button and some objects move, i just tested it with friends and it was all local. so to make it synced, is it just as simple as adding a vrc Object sync to all the moving objects?

[vagrant shale]

If you have a gif, that would probably be the easiest way, yeah, there are programs for that. If you have an actual sprite sheet, you can play that with a particle emitter but that requires it to actually be arranged like a sprite sheet, not sure about using a GIF directly.

[nocturne crown]

ah ok ill try that then

[sacred warren]

For anyone familiar with video players - video players keep playing (or at least downloading) even when their parent gameobject is disabled. Are there any good ways to handle that so it doesn't happen, but also doesn't break the player in the process?

[solemn gulch]

wet

[graceful radish]

how can i make player voices quieter when they are in another room?

[upper obsidian]

Disconnect from synchronization with other players and stop playback locally..

[sacred warren]

Ooof, fiddly but I guess possible.

[somber wraith]

is it normal that the heat my world is generating isnt shown on the website?

[sacred warren]

VR World Toolkit fixed this for me. It added both the collision matrix and layers back after warning me about both. Very handy.

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit for anyone curious

[near escarp]

Sweet, didn't know it had that function !

[sacred warren]

I guess most people won't see it as the SDK normally complains first and asks you to fix it. For some reason the SDK didn't notice the issue for me but this still did so, yeah, very handy.

[proven basalt]

can you get phys bones to work on world elements ? such as NPCs

[vagrant shale]

You could with dynamic bone so I assume so but I haven't had a chance to play with the new system.

[near escarp]

Not currently, but it's planed

[sharp ravine]

im so excited i finally released a world that's compatible with both pc and quest

[proven basalt]

nice ❤️

[vagrant shale]

Ah, so I guess just keep using dynamic bone for worlds for now, that works fine for PC and Quest but you'd got to buy it.

[wild ginkgo]

Do players have some sort of identification for collision? I am trying to detect when a player is in a collision trigger, but i cant have anything else triggering it

[left rain]

use collision layers so the layer for your trigger only collides with the player/playerLocal layers

[bold ibex]

Hi, I am getting lots of UdonSharp errors about vrc prefabs and several packages are not letting me use them from the space under the titlebar...

[wild ginkgo]

so just to make sure, its unitys Player layer thats already in the layers? just do like "if(collider.layer == "Player")"

[left rain]

the collision matrix handles this stuff for you... you shouldn't need to have any conditionals in your scripts

[wild ginkgo]

because for context, I am making rooms that you can lock (by putting a wall with collider up) but I dont want people locking the rooms and then respawning or leaving and the rooms be stuck on lock so i was going to put a collider in the room to check if players are in there, and if not, unlock it

[left rain]

use the collision matrix and set up a layer for your trigger that ONLY collides with the player layer, then make sure your trigger object is on that layer. unity will not report or process collisions that are masked out by the collision matrix

[wild ginkgo]

well im currently just using scripting collision for other stuff, so should i just stick with doing it in scripts? or if i set up a collision matrix, it wont affect the other stuff?

[left rain]

it'll be more efficient to use the matrix

it won't affect your other stuff unless you put your other objects on one of these new layers

the Player layer is built-in

if you really want to script it, check the layer names but i believe it's called "Player". "PlayerLocal" is the current player as they see themselves, "Player" is everyone else

[wild ginkgo]

ok and one more quick question, i was about to use OnTriggerExit to deactivate the lock if someone leaves, but if there are multiple people in the room and only one leaves, it would deactivate it right? if so, is there a way to then just check if no collider with layer "Player" is present in the trigger

[vagrant shale]

I'm not sure about that. It would seem like you could have a counter that starts at 0 and then increases whenever someone joins then opens the door if the number hits 0 again but how exactly you'd code that, I'm not sure.

[left rain]

you could possibly have the OnTriggerStay event override the locking mechanism, that way on the last OnTriggerExit the mechanism is disabled and there's no OnTriggerStay to re-lock it. i don't know how performant that will be with lots of players, though

you could count OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerExits, but you'll have to be careful about making sure that you don't accidentally overcount and you'd have to worry about syncing that counter for late joiners and such

i'd try using OnTriggerStay first and stress test it, see how tough it'll be with a high player count

[kind leaf]

I think stay would be slightly more demanding than a counter with a late join update but seriously, it's vrc and not optimized for what we are trying to do with it. The handling is poor and what we can do is limited. vrc was clearly meant to be handled like altspace or something else lame, but being a community environment has become sooo much more. with an only solution being a review process with zero restrictions to allow for the best possible programming while being reviewed for malic

[kind portal]

i have a issue with my sound because it plays all over the map, i want to play sound in certain areas but it always plays every were

i tried with 3d sound but it didn't work eider

[kind leaf]

You have to also change the settings of the vrc spartialized component.

alternatively, you can setup triggers to enable or disable a sound in zones

triggers are colliders set on trigger with scripts attached to do something on entering them

[azure hawk]

Is there an easy way to get an animated model to make a sound at a specific time?

I'm trying to get a dinosaur model to make a noise exactly when it opens it's mouth, but I can't seem to get it to work, and there's barely any easy tutorials online (all this coding stuff hurts my brain 😭 )

[rare warren]

You could try to have it so an audio source enables at the keyframes when the model opens its mouth, and ends a bit afterwards, within the animation?

[vagrant shale]

That or just have the animation that opens the mouth turn on the audio source and have it play on awake but kayframing that wouldn't be much more complicated.

[azure hawk]

How do I do that?

[vagrant shale]

Which part is confusing? Playing an animation, turning on an audio source, all of it? If you know how to play an animation and you have an object that is parented to the object you're animating, you can just turn on the record button and turn the audio source on at the right keyframe or add a block to your Udon graph that turns on the audio source at the same time as the part of the graph that turns on the animation.

[bold ibex]

any good sources on making really good-sounding audio?
I want to make it so indoors has more of a bassy sound for voices and outside is more echo-y

[unique radish]

Happy friday all. I am having an issue where no matter the number of players in my instance, there's a noticeable lag that happens whenever a new player connects. I do have 2 different video players in the world as well as 'better player audio' controller. I have a separate club room about 1000m directly above the main area. Any ideas? Could it be the video players?

[vagrant shale]

So you're looking for vocal effects and not recorded audio production? The only prefab I know that does anything like that is Guribo's but I haven't done that stuff specifically so I'm sure sure if it has quite what you need. https://github.com/Guribo/UdonVoiceUtils

[vagrant shale]

I just live with that, not sure there is much to be done about it, especially on Quest.

[bold ibex]

So like echoes when you are outside is something you can do with this?

[azure hawk]

I turned on the audiosource at the right keyframe and it actually works! Tysm!

[vagrant shale]

Apparently it can do reverb, not sure about true echoes. Like I said, I haven't done too much with it, just added microphones for amplification but it seems to be the go to prefab for audio modification inside of VRChat. You can check out the documentation to get a better idea of what it can do. https://github.com/Guribo/UdonVoiceUtils/wiki

[bold ibex]

tysm

[unique radish]

Yea, sadly it might just be something to live with. Especially since I cant really compromise on the games and the other code in the world

[bold ibex]

does anyone have the vrchat emojis as a png?

I'm looking for the smoke emoji

[pulsar oak]

Don't know if this has been asked before (my search function is having a seizure) but what's a decent size to make a world? I'm thinking 250 sq meters is maybe a bit overkill?

[analog wyvern]

what is the polygon limit on worlds

Im interested in porting a world/enviorment i found but it has a high poly count, im working on bringing it down tho

[vagrant shale]

That's a bit like asking "how big is a building?," it depends on what you intend on doing with it. 250 sq meters is the size of a fairly modest house so I wouldn't call that particularly massive but I don't know if you intend to build a room or a town.

[vagrant shale]

There is none, as far as I'm aware and while larger models do contribute to world size, polygons tend to add up a lot slower than high resolution textures. The main issue you're going to run into with high poly models is reduced performance and that comes down to who is going to be coming to your world, whether they'll all be using gaming PCs or on Quest and how much you're rendering at one time. If you have LODs and occlusion culling set up, you can have many polygons in your scene without the performance taking too much of a hit as not much of that is being rendered at any one time.

[uncut hare]

how od i fix the textures rendering backwards, and the collision being 1 sided.

[vagrant shale]

I don't know about the collision, maybe just use boxes instead of planes? For your faces getting flipped, you want to go into solid mode in Blender, turn on backface culling, select the faces that are invisible and go to mesh -> flip normals. You can also try recalculate outside, sometimes that works.

[uncut hare]

aaal

ok

thanks

i can make colliders

for the floor

[uncut hare]

where is flip normals

[azure hawk]

I added an audiosource to my world, but the sound is too quiet. How do I make it louder?

[vagrant shale]

There's a volume slider on the audio source. If it's too quiet at 1 (full volume) you'll have to increase the volume in a program like audacity.

[azure hawk]

That didn't really work.

[vagrant shale]

What didn't work? Increasing the volume in Audacity or in Unity? Are we talking about the volume right at the source or from a distance? Because if the sound is too quiet at a distance but fine right near the audio source, that's the falloff.

[azure hawk]

I'm right at the audio source. Also, I increased the gain of the sound effect all the way in Audacity and then I put it back in Unity. I went to the audio source and it was still quiet, but it sounded very distorted (because I increased the gain)

[vagrant shale]

Are you sure your world volume isn't turned down? If your volume in the audio source is at max and your source file is clipping, it should be pretty loud.

[wild ginkgo]

this might actually work, im thinking with OnTriggerEnter add one, exit take one, then maybe in the On trigger exit, just check if it hits zero then deactivate lock

i wonder how private rooms in most world handle this, dont most private rooms have some way of unlocking if the person that locks it leaves? ive never used a private room, but i would be surprised if they donjt

[vagrant shale]

Seems to make sense in theory but it might not be synced for late joiners. I'm not sure what would be synced for late joiners without digging into the networking. That stuff is complicated.

[azure hawk]

My world volume is all the way up.

[vagrant shale]

And your system volume? Not sure what to tell you, I don't know if you're going to get any more volume than you're getting.

[wild ginkgo]

well in my case, this is all happening in the main room. Player can click a button, puts up a collision wall to keep people from coming in, would VRCObject sync script not sync for late joiners?

[vagrant shale]

I thought that just synced the position of pickups but maybe?

[azure hawk]

Yup. System volume is up too. Every other sound is fine.

[vagrant shale]

Post an image of the audio source settings? I'm not sure what else to recommend.

[vagrant shale]

Nothing looks amiss at first glance but if your other audio sources are working the way you want, why not just copy one and replace the audio file? If that still doesn't work, the only problem that could remain would be with the audio file itself.

[azure hawk]

It's at a perfect volume now, but now there's another problem. I can hear the sound from across the world at the same volume. I only want it heard from a specific distance.

[azure hawk]

Also, I meant that other sounds on my computer (and the VRChat menu music and button sounds) are fine. The audio sources I put in the world are the ones that are hard to hear.

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AudioSource.html

2D sound has no boundaries, 3D has a decay radius, adjust.

[azure hawk]

I figured it out!

I had to increase the "Near" in "advanced options"

Thanks!

[silk plover]

okay im incredibly frustrated now

everytime i get a world with udon

and uplaod it

it loads, black screens, loads again, and throws me into my home world

i dont understand why its doing this, it happens with every udon world i try to upload

Does anyone have anthing to help?

[kind leaf]

what do you mean "get"? Are you buying your worlds?

[upper obsidian]

Check the version of the unity to be correct, and be sure to set the player's spawn point.

[silk plover]

i have fixed the issue thank you <3

[devout stratus]

howdy,

Question. I'm taking on the task of making a simple world quest compatible. would anyone be willing to point me on the right direction?

[vagrant shale]

Bake your lights and compress your textures and that's probably about all you need to do

[devout stratus]

the world is fairly small, i think about 90mb, i heard you needed to change materials to mobile? is there a guide somewhere i would look at? also, hi krampus, nice seeing you again.

also, do mobile materials also work on pc?

[vagrant shale]

Hey! 90 MB is fine for quest, it's pretty big for a small world but it will upload and you only need to use the mobile shaders for avatars. There are certain shaders that only work for PC but unless they're exotic, they should work for both.

Mobile shaders do work for PC but they aren't necessary

[devout stratus]

krampus, are you available atm? would it be ok if i dm you?

[vagrant shale]

You could but why? I can answer any question here I can answer in a DM, it's just no one else can answer questions in my DMs.

[devout stratus]

just a little lost on where to start. all i know is that i have to switch to android target, and that is the extend of my knowledge. and the things i found on youtube didn't help me much.

[vagrant shale]

You press the "switch build target to android" button, let Unity do its thing and switch over and then you press "build and publish for android" just the same as you do for PC

[devout stratus]

ah, ok, i'll try that, see what happens

whelp.

[open fiber]

Wellp my Unity is completely fucked it seems is this where I can come to ask a question?

[vagrant shale]

You'll either need to make a new project with android build support enabled or follow this to add it to your existing project. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html

[vagrant shale]

Sure, fucked how?

[open fiber]

Good question

@vagrant shale

There was one more error but

I tried everything to fix this issue

My only Idea is delete the unity all together and reinstall

[vagrant shale]

I've seen a few people with this issue but I'm not real clear how they're resolving it. I believe @glass moon had the same errors so perhaps they can provide some clarity.

Apologies for the pings but someone else had the same errors and apparently this fixed it for them

[open fiber]

Thanks

[devout stratus]

apparently, i need android studio, so i am installing that now. following the directions on the documentation

[vagrant shale]

I think including android build support when you create the project should install all of the necessary components for you but yeah, that should hopefully do it without creating a new project.

[devout stratus]

i tried going that route, but i got the same bonk.

[vagrant shale]

Hmmm, weird. I never manually installed android studio on this PC and I've never had that issue but hopefully once you have it, you won't have to worry about this in the future.

[steady kernel]

Hey, I'm kinda new to making worlds and was having a problem

When I hit the "Build & Test" option in unity it's saying that there needs to be a VRCSceneDescriptor added to the project but there's already one inside. Did I do something?

[vagrant shale]

@steady kernel Are you using VRCWorld or did you create your own Scene Descriptor?

[steady kernel]

I'm using the VRCWorld from the SDK

[vagrant shale]

Hmm, is it in your scene? It needs to actually be in the scene. It's also the spawn point so you'll want to put it where you want people to spawn.

[steady kernel]

If you mean the VRCWorld asset then yes it is in the scene

[vagrant shale]

Strange, the "You need a Scene Descriptor to publish" warning is normal during the build process but it should still continue to build. I'm not sure if it will be any help but could you post an image of the issue so we can see exactly where it's appearing?

[steady kernel]

This is what is appearing when I try to build and test the scene

It's also seems to now be saying I don't have VRChat installed

[vagrant shale]

It could be that you need to point the builder to your VRChat.exe in the builder settings

It shouldn't be a Scene Descriptor issue but it's probably just saying that as a normal part of the build process and then failing because it can't find VRChat.

[stuck ice]

Anyone know any good websites for free assets?

[vagrant shale]

Sketchfab, though a lot of those assets are CC-attribution so you should have a list somewhere in your world of the assets you're using.

[steady kernel]

It was trying to load a old VRChat download I had, Thanks for the help!

[stuck ice]

Alright thank you

[bold ibex]

i need help with a problem my world

[vagrant shale]

I'd save the scene, create a new scene (to avoid any issues with references) and then delete your VRCSDK folder and import the most recent SDK

[bold ibex]

???????

[vagrant shale]

Seems pretty straightforward to me...

[bold ibex]

do i need to download something?

[vagrant shale]

I would download the most recent SDK if you didn't download your current one recently. If it's a recent download, you can just re-import the one you have.

[bold ibex]

what unity do i need?

[left rain]

2019.4.31f1 is the only supported version of unity

the VRChat SDK is a separate thing; you download that from vrchat.com

re-import the world SDK package and see if that helps. typically when the editor throws errors, it's because you did one of the following:

• you didn't use the right version of unity
• you didn't install the latest world SDK
• you installed the unity standard assets
• you imported some prefab that requires udon# and didn't install udon# first

i feel like there needs to be an FAQ for this; it's the most common question asked here by far

[wild ginkgo]

so i tried making a counter that goes up on OnTriggerEnter and down with OnTriggerExit when the Player layer enters/exits. And when counter is 0, it deactivates a wall. When i build and test, counter is always 0 even if i enter the trigger area. If im in the trigger area, the wall wont stay up, it just instantly gets deactivated when i try to activate it

So the idea of having a counter to deactivate it works i think, but increasing the counter isnt working. Heres the code im using for the logic, its pretty simple if(player.gameObject.layer == 9){ counter++; }

to check layers, it has to be the number and cant use the layer name, so the 9 is what the Player layer is

[bold ibex]

now its saying this ..

what do i do now??

[left rain]

that's a warning, not a compile error. it might not matter.

[bold ibex]

now its this?

@left rain do you know anything about it?

[left rain]

i don't know what that shader warning is about, but it's just a warning, not an error, so it won't block your scene from compiling

[bold ibex]

my panal is not working what do i do????

[vagrant shale]

That usually means you have compiler errors, can you post your console?

[bold ibex]

wtf dose this mean??

[unique radish]

do they go away when you hit clear? Sometimes the console has errors while unity is loading up but if they go away it's not an issue

[bold ibex]

it prevents me from uploading it to vrc

[unique radish]

have you tried re-importing the sdk

[bold ibex]

yes

It looks like I only need a plugin

ughh i need help

[near escarp]

Can you screenshot the whole console ?

[bold ibex]

Hey @near escarp could we dm call so you can see it and what it's doing

I've run into an issue issue with the video players. I set up a VRC AVPro video player with a "on interact, play". The source is a YouTube video. This works fine in the local test, but doesn't work on live. Is there something that could be breaking it specifically on live? (it works fine on every test when doing the local build).

[bold ibex]

whats this??

[left rain]

remember when i posted that list of things that break scenes? you imported the unity standard assets package. remove it

[bold ibex]

Ok

which one is it?

[cobalt prawn]

It's none of those. It's the folder called Standard Assets in your assets folder

[bold ibex]

Delete standard assest?

Yep

You can have audio sources always playing that just don't extend outside of a certain bounds but if you need them to start when the player gets to a certain area, that's just a local trigger.

has anybody seen this error before and knows how to fix it

[stone marsh]

Your console says there is one error. But you're not showing it. Please always show the entire console. It's the red stop sign errors that matter. Not the one you singled out.

[stone marsh]

Press clear

Does it go away?

[sudden rain]

it does but it keeps coming back when i try to upload it

[stone marsh]

The error is suggesting you're terminating the upload during the upload process

Try and save and restart unity.
Once restarted, check the sdk build menu, go to the settings tab in the sdk menu and ensure future proof is disabled
When you go to upload, ensure you absolutely do not close any windows or exit play mode. If it errors, note exactly where in the upload process it does so.

How do I see if I my occlusion works

[brazen python]

anyone know how to help me with a problem? i have hit a wall. i am trying to animate objects that are activated by toggles on objects. I.e. push a button animation happens. but i have attempted to animate a switch that moves up and down when you press it and i have followed tutorials on how to do that by the book and so far nothin comes to fruition. i would appreciate help if i can get it.

[vagrant shale]

Set up[ your animator like this where Entry transitions to an empty state which transitions to your animation. Create a boolean parameter and call in On or X or whatever. Then create a transition condition where that boolean is set to true. Then, create a button that uses the objects animator which goes into a setbool node with the value box checked and a string boolean with the name of the boolean you created in your animator. Make sure the reference in the inspector is referencing the correct object.

This is set up to have the animation be networked and is apparently not the proper way to handle networking but it works for everyone in the instance at the time the animation is triggered. If you just want it to be local, plug the interact node right into the SetBool node.

[brazen python]

tried it and so far nothing changed

[vagrant shale]

You made sure your animation works? Can you post images of your animator, graph, and inspector for the button activating the animation?

Does the animation play properly if you just make it the default transition from the entry state and let it loop?

[brazen python]

yes the animation indeed works

when i hit the play button and toggle the boolen it does play and switch between the animations just fine

[vagrant shale]

You checked to make sure the reference in the inspector is correct and you brough in the animator and not the game object? Not sure what else might be the culprit.

[brazen python]

yep

[vagrant shale]

Sometimes "has exit time" in the animation settings can cause issues but that's usually just if you're transitioning from one animation to another so if it's a single animation, I'm out of ideas.

[mild spade]

Could it be the name? Maybe "Flipswitch__" with a space is used on the script instead of "Flipswitch" Double check and make sure there is no extra spaces (dont press "enter" after you type the bool name on the script, that usually causes an extra space)

[brazen python]

ok

[brazen python]

nope there are zero spaces at the end

i dont know what on earth the problem is at this point

[shadow venture]

How do I cut the white out of this texture?

[mild spade]

So are you able to click the button in game but nothing happens? Also make sure the buttons you are trying to move are not set to "static" on the top right corner of the gameobjects

[vagrant shale]

Open it up in photoshop and select it with quick selection or select by color and delete it.

[brazen python]

yes i can click the buttons in game but nothing indeed happens.

[shadow venture]

I don't have photoshop.

[brazen python]

they also are not set to static

[shadow venture]

Adobe I think

[vagrant shale]

GIMP is free and can do the same thing.

[shadow venture]

Had that in mind.

[sudden rain]

does anybody know how to make it to where you can teleport by entering a code for the kepad

[brazen python]

update. for some reason it actually moved. the animation played. but only once and never again

[vagrant shale]

That's normal. You need to make a reversed animation that it transitions into when the boolean is false. Glad you got it working.

[brazen python]

its strange. it seems like its trying to play both animations at the same time

[brazen python]

i actually did that. it seemse that both animations are trying to play at the same time

[vagrant shale]

There's a prefab for that. Should be in here somewhere.

[vagrant shale]

Did both of them perhaps have the same condition? I don't think you've posted an image of your animator.

[brazen python]

i dont think so

[vagrant shale]

Can I see the main part of the window?

[brazen python]

wheres that?

[vagrant shale]

The part where you set up the transitions, this

Oh, I see. Looks right to me.

[undone dome]

Hey all. Does anyone know why the sitting toggle isn't working? I have the exact same settings on a bar stool and I can trigger it just fine.

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, if the arrow from new state is true, then false to go from flip to flip 2 and true to go back, that should be correct.

Do you have a button that sets it to be false as well as a button that sets it to be true?

If you want a toggle, that's a slightly different program. That graph you posted always makes it true

[vagrant shale]

Is there a collider in there anywhere? You need a collider for the person to be able to interact with the seat.

[undone dome]

OHHHH. Thank you.
