hi guys, do anyone have animations like this,at video ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS8mIfSgiZk
ashen sedge
@lunar pasture In short, Root.Q is up and down. Your view position goes along with it. You know how tiny avatars sort of shrink down into chairs? You can add a Root.Q property to increase your height so you sit properly. Root.T is rotating left and right I believe.
lunar pasture
ok, so it's position in the world, makes sense, thanks.
ashen sedge
To clarify, add a Root.Q property to a custom sitting animation
lunar pasture
or dance dips/jumps?
ashen sedge
Yup. Then your viewport should go with the jump aswell, instead of it being stationary on the ground level
Since you're not moving the armature up, you're moving the "root" up, the whole everything
That's how I understand it anyways
mystic umbra
I was having issues with creating a sitting animation with a chair, cause vrusers' feet would look really odd whereas desktop it works perfectly
@ashen sedge would messing with rootQ fix my issue?
And I thought it was root T that messed with height
ashen sedge
Q is definitely height, and I'm not sure about your issue.
Not really sure why that would even happen
tardy abyss
I'm looking for an actual relevant video on how to learn to use the Muscle Animation Editor asset.
If anyone knows of such video, DM me the link please.
mystic umbra
I have been confused for two weeks about it
I made the animation with a custom rig so maybe thats the issue
do you know where I can find the sitting down animation keys, so I can copy paste it and edit that instead @ashen sedge
ashen sedge
Unfortunately not. :/

hey guys ive added a song to my animation but in game ppl told me its very faint and i should turn up the volume a bit .. but i dont think the "volume" option is a problem tbh since 0.5 should be loud enough https://ibb.co/hi5Xk7 something wrong with the rest of my options maybe?

you don't have to make an animation for the blinking as long as you have cat's blender tool

Quick Q - I’m having trouble preventing my avatar from blinking while doing a custom animation in Unity. I’ve already added “Animation.Enabled” to be off for my two keyframes in Animation....anything else I’m missing? Thanks!
nocturne radish
I was going to ask exactly the same thing (having this nightmare-fuel blinking during gesture overrides: https://youtu.be/2LdEIj2jW3k) but I didn't know you could enable and disable the default animation while doing another animation
clear yew
okay I have a question
how do i make a animation to where if i override it with a hand gesture it makes my characters eyes turn blankless
like uhm let me show u examples what i mean
nocturne radish
Also @daring turtle, I think disabling the avatar meshes during the animation would work, or you already tried that?
And about that @clear yew you have to create a new animation on unity (duplicating your model and stuff as always so it doesn't screw up the original) and only add the property that turns the eyes blank, so nothing else is affected, and then override the gesture
clear yew
okay but
see thing is
so even though the thing im doing the animation on
Uhm.. it will start off with the .. dupe but with another model i mean
like here let me show u what im talking about or what im trying to do let me show u in blender
@clear yew got your problem fixed?
which problem?
my previous problem yes but i kinda have another one
let me show u what i mean
anyone know why my custom animation blink would randomly stop working? it still works fine when i hit play in unity, but stopped working in game
i think the only thing i did was change some animation overrides, didnt mess with the blinking, then uploaded it and i'm no longer blinking in game
@clear yew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrfx3v45OJU
yea i did that already, and it worked fine, still works in Unity when I hit play, but no longer works in game
you even added that legacy thing in debug with a loop ?
yup
rip
guess ill try redoing the entire thing, i've tried removing it and adding it back a few times
ebon harness
is it possible to stop a vrchat emote midway?
nocturne radish
In my case, I had expressions in the gesture overrides and I was setting to 0 the blinking animations during them, and for some reason that completelly prevented them from playing. Do you have any animation that affects the blink in any way?
Also about stopping the animations, there's no way as far as I know, but iirc it's a planned feature to stop them as soon as you move
It would be amazing if the added that soon, tbh
clear yew
yep, i was just messing with that and i had put 0 to the blinking cause it would sometimes make my eyes go half way down my face if i used it in the middle of a blink
but setting 0 to blink in the override was preventing the blinking animation altogether :\
fallen crypt
Hey guys, I am animating a centaur but I encounter issues ingame that my walking and running don't animate the generic rig the hind legs using but the humanoid parts are working but stiff. Anyone knows what's wrong?
nocturne radish
I just figured it out @clear yew! You have to, not set the blinking to zero, but disable the animation while the other custom animation is playing. It works pretty nicely, it resumes as soon as you stop the gesture/animation
As in add component > animation > enable (ticked off)
clear yew
i had the blink blendshape used for the blinking animation, and the laugh blendshape which also closes the eyes, i was already disabling the animation
but if i used the override while the animation was blinking, the eyelashes would go down too far, like onto the cheeks
unless you were saying to have 2 animations? one for the laugh and one for blinking?
not sure
nocturne radish
Yeah I know what you mean, both shapes combine and looks like this, right? https://youtu.be/2LdEIj2jW3k
I don't think both of them using the same blend shape causes the problem, the animation should stop while the emote is playing if you do it like I did (just a sec until an avatar finishes uploading and I can take a pic)
This is how I stop it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/277243165478748160/422551235493625856/unknown.png
Oh wow I just noticed it goes crazy when you trigger it exactly while it's blinking
clear yew
can anyone here do emotes good?
forest slate
so i am trying to sync some particle systems to some music, and it works perfect in unity. however in game the animation plays far too quickly for the song.
fallen crypt
Song takes time to load?
forest slate
maybe
fallen crypt
Depends how big
forest slate
actually, i just tested something, i started the gesture, the song started instantly, but the particles were already ~10-15 seconds into the animation
nocturne radish
I guess no one can right now
forest slate
I found my problem. I am trying to trigger a long animation with a 2 frame finger animation. I am probably doing it wrong. Meaning the animation always plays in the background despite not being seen. Not to mention it keeps playing despite me turning the gesture off.
Then when I do activate it, it starts playing from the middle, and since the audio source starts right when I hit the gesture, the song is way off sync.
So what is the proper way to bind a long animation to a hand gesture, since the way I did it didn't work.
nocturne radish
I noticed long animations go really wrong when assigned to gestures, they screw up themselves and/or the rest of gedtures. Tried a bunch of stuff but they kept bugging
forest slate
which is why i am trying to trigger a long animation using a short one but i dont know exactly how to do that
zinc moth
I have a mismatched LayoutGroup.ignore error, how could I fix this?

solid trail
Anyone know how to do world objects from animation overides?
forest slate
alice, the way i do world objects, is using a particle system, make it only emit a single particle, add a tiny tiny bit of gravity, and set it to world space. then make the particle itself the mesh you wish to use.
solid trail
ah because i know there is a way to actually like place a mesh in the world then remove it/trigger another animation from it on animation overide
as an example i witnessed someone place claymores with one override then explode them with another
weak raft
Is it possible to trigger animations, etc. with only one hand, or is that not possible?
For example, i want to trigger an animation with only my left hand when doing gestures
weak raft
I know, but isn't there a way to set it to only one hand?
solid trail
Not that i know of, but when you make the animation you will notice that if you animate one hand the other will goto the defualt position from unity
weak raft
Damn, that sucks
solid trail
so you need to re-position the other hand when replacing a gesture
weak raft
Yeah, but if i'm spawning a gun with my right hand, then it also appears when doing the gesture with my left hand
weak raft
Damn, they should fix so each hand is treated as separate
solid trail
im pretty sure that means adding in 5 more gestures which as the exact same as the others
weak raft
It's a bummer that the gestures aren't treated separate for each hand. Would add a lot more flexibility
reef mason
Can anybody help me out on this problem that I'm currently having with my avatars that I port into VRChat. For some odd reason, I have two avatars that have these problems where I placed both items onto them. One for the pose and one for the animation so it can look like they took it out of their backs, pockets or holsters. I disabled the the revolver out of his hand during the pose and I disabled the one in his holster during the animation process. When I take out the revolver out of the holster, It shows the gun inside the avatar's hand, But towards other people, It still shows in my hand, But there is a second revolver in my holster still, Which I don't know why it shows when I clearly disabled it during the animation process.

If u could figure out how to spawn a different model with standard animations on it instead of t pose
Id assume hard

just a matter of animating the other models, and then hiding them as needed during the animation. Getting it to only happen during spawn is hte hard part
vivid pond
random question
what exactly would cause the wrong animation to play when activating a gesture
eg i hit f4 when i have a magic circle animation and it plays fine and turns off when i hit f1 but when i go to hit f7 or when i have a beam animation it still plays the circle one
and this also affects any other function key animations until by random it seems it will work again for another animation but now it is stuck with the new one
am i just forgetting to do something or is it just a thing with loop animations

Does anyone know why my MMD dances are cutting off randomly? I've got them on a second hidden model cause I assume you need that for the japanese bones

peak relic
@paper haven Are you setting it as an emote?
paper haven
Yep
paper haven
What, it works better with hand gestures? The dance is like 108 seconds and goes on for a decent time
The emote lasts longer then 10 seconds
I've heard tha tbefore, yeah
paper haven
and I've worked with other emotes that lasted for like 40 seconds, they just all seem to get cut off near the end
mkay
Have you done MMD dances yourself?
I've got a second hidden model since I assume the bones need to be kept japanese
so it's a bit finicky
peak relic
Only 1 so far.
paper haven
Did you do what I did? hide the original model and then sspawn the second one with the attached audio source
peak relic
Managed to translate with it still working.
paper haven
ah.. is it all one model?
Yeah, mine translated okay but then when I went to add eye tracking/visemes and tuf it kept giving me errors
peak relic
Nope. The dancing model needs to be generic
obsidian vigil
@peak relic i dont think theres one for slightly pressing the trigger
its either 100% or 0
100% = fist
and if you release the fist it automatically translates into the hand open one

Adding some assets with an animation bugs the cameras and mirrors locally?
So I just added some wings to my character and had them enabled via and always running animation using an animation component on my avatar (I'm sure you can figure out the reason I added them this way)
But now in game mirrors and cameras show a weird messed up version of myself where parts are invisible or with different textures etc
But when I ask my friends they say I look perfectly fine and have even sent screenshots to prove it both in person and on their end when I use a camera or mirror, and I look fine if I turn on Hollow Port mode and move myself around with it.
so clearly it's only a local issue
This has happened with a few things I've tried to add like a Halo above my head or a Mario cap.
But conversely some other things I've added through an always running animation such as a sign floating above me or a small particle system doesn't have issues at all
Is there something I can do to fix this or is this just something I have to live with for now

Do some animations just 100% not work after being ported into unity or is it fixable? For example, the toxic mmd dance works in Blender to breaks in unity even with the correct bones needed for the dance to work

clear yew
How do you do an animation longer than 1 frame with gestures without it glitching?
ive seen it done
you create an empty game object and animate it instead
How would I go about that?
I heard you need animator componants
or something
Create an empty game object parented to nothing.
Create all the particles, 3d model or whatever you need and parent them to the game object.
Animate the Empty Game Object the same way you would animate your avatar but you can use more than 1 frame at this point.
When you are happy with your animation, add a "animation" component to the Empty Game Object and put the animation file in it.
Parent the Empty Game Object to your avatar (depend on what your actual animation is) and disable it by default
Then you just need to activate it with a hand gesture and it will play the animation automatically
Awesome. Thank you very much :^)

check your animation overrides/if it's binded to your character already or not

it work, just didn't shown on the mirror lol
torpid wadi
oh
if you want it to show up in mirrors make sure to not use "set active" but set the object's "skinned mesh renderer" or "mesh renderer" to active instead
@frosty jacinth you'd need 2 separate animation overrides for that, one that both hides the object attached to you and unhides one of the same object now attached to your arm, and another one to show a particle system with the particle shape set as the mesh of the thing you want to throw while hiding both versions of the thrown object
unless you want to make it an emote instead of an override in which case you can do it in one emote

I want to overwrite the LetGo Animation for my Desktop Avatar, which is the F3 button. Which Animation is the LetGo Animation in the Custom Animation Penal tho ?
hexed fern
what do you meant by let go?
clear yew
@unborn sphinx You either mean openhand or idlehand. I don't know if I've seen someone overwrite idlehand and still be humanoid. Sounds like too much of a pain. Openhand is easy though.
It could be simple af though. I just haven't tried it.
wooden jay
is there a way i can make an animation, then like mid way, cancel it and start another gesture ?
Example:
i make a sword rise from the ground ( kinda normal slow speed) but it stays there for abit, ( animation is about 20sec long) but once i want to pick it up, i cancel the animation (after 10sec) and have the sword in my hand as my gesture.
something like that im trying to figure out
eager vault
I don't think you can cancel emotes, but if they were gestures i think you could have the 2nd gesture turn off what ever the 1st gesture activates
but im not sure, havent tried it myself
final gazelle
if you have the gestures on the same hand, yeah, i imagine that's how it should work
hexed fern
about ta'upload my first gesture avatar ever 😄

@wooden jay I'd have to catch you in VRC. I have a set-up similar to what you're describing on my personal Black Gold Saw.
wooden jay
hmmmm
when you available i wanna see if its possible, some ppl are saying i cant, others are saying i can 😭
clear yew
It uses two gestures rather than an emote and a gesture, but it's the next best thing barring state machines.
wooden jay
hmmmm
clear yew
I make a world particle with my sword's mesh lower itself into the ground. It'll stay in that spot, no matter where you you are in the map, until either the timer runs out or you let go of the gesture.
You can switch to the sword holding gesture in a single frame when your hand's over the grip, making it seem like you picked it up.

Hello!! I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not you can animate a model in blender used full body vr tracking? I feel like I've seen someone do it before in a video a long time ago but when I search the internet for a tutorial or something I don't find much

It is fine in unity, just not in VRChat
Looks it it was a problem with a shader option

gusty plank
Hi, I have a bit of a difficulty syncing my walking animation with the movement speed in game. Its almost perfect but the character still slides forward some distance after each step. Not sure how to optimise for it.
In the Unity the grid for animation, can I use only the thick lines for input (0,5,10,15,...etc) or can tighten it even more? Will the frames be ignored? I have really slow upload so it takes a lot of time to trial and error in game for me.

@clear yew I'm talking about adding a grip to a weapon, not just taking out a weapon. A grip so that you can hold the weapon with both hands
clear yew
?
find a grip model and add it to your weapon ?
unique night
vrc pickup is used on world objects, it wont work on avatars
what you saw might have been a clever use of gestures
the player may have mimicked the motion of grabbing the grip and activated a second gesture which kept the hand to that position or something

this might be an animation type problem but i'm not sure is there any way to fix my legs bending to the sides instead of forward when crouching?

Is your avatar male? @wicked garnet
If so, change it to female in the avatar descriptor and see how that works. Downside is you'll sit feminine, but I have friends that rig fully custom models and still have bow-legged/knocking knee issues on male animation set. So I usually have my avatars set to female.

Did you use blender or unity for the animation? @gusty plank

I feel like its idle but im not sure

there is no "hand" anima for that it is the default. so yes it is idle but if you overwrite that it will overwrite anything your model does while your standing still
clear yew
does animation include making shape keys?

Ive noticed like the tomato girl spawn tomatos with her emote, what is that? They stayed after the emote was done and made like a whole patch of em.

so anyone here know about particle systems? ping me when you get a chance. i will post here just incase some reads any how. i have a particle system that activates with something in my hand. but the particle effect is rain. so i tested it while in non vr. but when i went into vr. the rain rained in the direction my hand was pointing i just what it to rain straight down
sick crag
Is the particle system like inside the hand bone hierarchy thing?
Id imagine having the particle system like to the root of model or something and have a key turn it on when you do the animation
idk
clear yew
I cant rmember what i need tgo get in unity in order to do facial animations
bronze peak
ahh dot i did not think of that thank you i will try now
covert linden
@bronze peak you'll need to set up rigid bones
@clear yew click on your model and locate 'body' click on that and it should show you blendshapes (click the little arrow if it doesn't show you a menu) thats what you'll need, see which ones you want (put them on 100) in the animator there is also a tab called 'body' and it'll have all the blendshapes
dim valve
Whenever I try to upload a model to VRChat, or test it in Unity, it pauses Unity's scene viewer. This also cancels/breaks any uploads.
It seems to be based on the animation that is playing when the character is previewed.
Anyone know how to fix this?
covert linden
Can you get into the naming window before upload no problem?
bronze peak
i am sorry what is rigid bones?
dim valve
Actually, I realized what is causing it.
covert linden
Rigid bodies* my bad. Its the way how you can spawn world particles that won't follow your hand or character, altho if you want it to just follow your character it wouldn't matter
dim valve
I had something over my errors bar so I didnt see it
I may be missing an updated SDK
bronze peak
i get that all the time i just push upload and it works xD
covert linden
Its how you can for example shoot something but not hold your hand in that direction all the time
dim valve
Anyone know how to check what version of the SDK you have?
Ah, version date.
What is the most current version date, could someone check theirs for me?
covert linden
It also has an build in update checker
bronze peak
i think you can click the vrchat sdk thing at the top and hit check for update
dim valve
I have
2018.02.28.21.21
covert linden
Could just be the servers
bronze peak
yeah like i said i dont know what that avatar not found error is but i hit upload anyways and it normally works
dim valve
The issue is, this error pauses Unity
Which in turn breaks the upload
Actually, perhaps this is what is causing it to do this
What is a function name?
"'Tsuchinoko3' AnimationEvent has no function name specified!"

Ooh
There is an option to turn off error pausing

You could try using particles with colliders, I don't think you can create objects at world position tho...
grand lichen
@vivid pond You need sub particles. Set it so on collision it spawns a new particle.
New particle being your scorch marks

Is there any way to loop the emote?
grand lichen
Emote? That would be a bad idea then you would emote forever

On the topic of particles, I can't seem to get a particle effect I'm working on to follow my character properly. It always lags behind when I move.

gusty plank
@grand lichen but isnt there a way to make it stop if you enter any input? I have made some animations like this in Unity and they work in Unity well, I can cancel them any time but that requires a script and VRC doesent approve of my script
vivid pond
ok stupid question but how exactly would you get it to collide with the world or would it do that automatically and thanks i completely forgot about the sub particles
grand lichen
@gusty plank sadly nope. Vrc does not allow any scripts they do not have white listed on their end.
I made one once that allowed you to have random audio clips on your character play. Then realized I wasted my time LOL
gusty plank
@clear yew You have set Simulation Space to World, I believe thats what is causing the particle to trail
grand lichen
@vivid pond there is an option in the particle settings for collision just set it to everything and make sure to set it to ignore collisions from the inside.
gusty plank
@grand lichen Dang it... I hit wall everywhere. None of my animations work well then. I Want to have different animated poses but if I use them on the hand gestures, the hands are stuck to the Idle animation. If I use them on Emote, they wont loop 😦
vivid pond
ok thank you again for your help
clear yew
The simulation space is set on world, the screenshot I posted shows my settings. It seems like the particles remain where they spawned, rather than following the emitter.

@gusty plank I even tried super hard to get the animator to work but sadly it won't work on your model in game unless the animator is set to something on your model and not the model itself.
Tried to have a set of wings on one model of mine idle and flap every now and then. But since it was an actual part of the model vrc just took over everything and the wings stayed static. 😟

@grand lichen hum, i have flapping wings on one of my models. I used a "empty Game Object" for the wings

But are the wings the same mesh as your model or added in later via unity?

i have an ogg audio file, the audio source game object is not active and it play on awake, with animation i activate it, but in game is not working 😦
slim sparrow
You need to disable it by default (untick the box at the top left of the audio source). Then in the emote's animation, enable it.
slim sparrow
Also, change the rolloff to linear rolloff

i do change it to lienar but when i upload it, it changes my setting to those ones

I'm pretty sure it's linear by default
Oh that's weird
Oh yeah, that makes sense actually

i do not know what to do anymore

@clear yew change the output to "master" ?
i will try, but none of my other models are ''master'' and they work
i am uploading it right now, i hope it works
still not playing 😦
i do not know what to do
what the hell, this makes no sense at all. the setting looks correct, they are the same i use on other models and they work on those, it even play the sound in unity when i play the animation, why in game i only see the motion but i cannot hear the sound of my animations oh my god

ok, i managed to get it working, audio source game object is always active by default, and with the animation i turn on the audio source itself

does anyone know how to make an animation override stay in one place? I play a piano and it moves when my face moves how do i fix this?
slim sparrow
If the piano is an object that's attached to your avatar, it will also move along with you.
If you want it to stay still, try making it a particle instead. You can render meshes with particles, and you can make the particle a world particle so it doesn't move with you. @vivid burrow
vivid burrow
im not exactly sure on how to make the piano a particle...

Replace the prone animation

I'm sure Mixamo has sleeping animations

@slim sparrow how would i make the piano a particle?

Dunno, but that's how I heard it. You know how particles work, right?
I'll check real quick
vivid burrow
yeah im familiar
slim sparrow
Oh, particles are actually pretty complex. Jeez. Hang on
slim sparrow
Ah, there we go
Expand "renderer" in the particle component. You should be able to set the Render Mode to "Mesh"
You can then select any mesh you want
Just set the simulation space to World and you can basically spawn visual objects in the world

@junior grotto yeah you just click on the animation in assets and then click your animation tab
lilac cave
overrides with new animations
but you should be able to copy the previous animations id think
white herald
so just to be sure, there is currently no way to change gestures without losing the original gestures? as in even if i posed my own replacement gestures, both hands would gesture? I could tool around with the animation controllers but i don't want to waste my time
lilac cave
usually my models point and the keyshapes do what theyre supposed to do at the same time
white herald
and how do you acheive that
lilac cave
uh, well how are you making the animations?
white herald
creating new animations on a duplicate of the model as in any tutorial i've seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSezH13vAI
haven't gotten it to reliably work any other way

with the animations
do you move the hands or anythinig
anything
i only use keyshapes and it seems fine

And the dampening seems to be much slower than normal
What in the animation could be causing my dampening/dynamic bones to be messed up?
lilac cave
didnt watch the video you used but it should
white herald
well fuck
still makes no sense, all the tutorials and things i've googled are saying the finger poses are removed and you have to add them yourself (which would also result in both hands gesturing instead of one). i've tested it in both vr and non-vr gestures, nothing happens.
gonna assume you manually added both-hand gesture overrides
cursive moon
Adding your own finger poses doesn't force both to activate, only on the hand you activate the gesture on. It does, however, only use the animation you created for that hand, so it's possible to have two different finger poses with the same gesture on different hands.
quasi gale
@surreal iron It's hard to diagnose the problem when all we have to go on is it "looks like trash" ingame. But I'm going to guess that the issue is that VRChat's IK system is taking over parts of the animation. There's a variety of reasons it might do this - aligning the head with the player's headset for example. In those cases, the IK system will kick in and move the feet so that they look like they're properly walking on the ground.
surreal iron
thats the thing

@surreal iron It sounds like you had some bones in your animation that weren't part of the humanoid hierarchy. Check the mask rollout on your animation import settings and make sure everything is enabled if you want to keep the humanoid traits with the extra bones:
quasi gale
Just remember that the mask is set individually for each animation, so you'll have to go through each one and enable them all.
craggy sage
Is it supposed to do this when you go to upload? http://puu.sh/zIIcv/b73c99e254.jpg
quasi gale
@craggy sage That's generally fine, if you want to prevent it from happening whenever you hit play, make sure there is no animation controller attached to the avatar's animator component.
craggy sage
also inworld it squishes down low, how fix?
quasi gale
Need a bit more info than that. What animations are you using, what's the rigging setup, what kind of bone hierarchy do you have?

Maxwell Rodgers - Today at 2:51 AM
So i made an animation replacement for the hands, and now the avatar goes halfway into the ground, any ideas?
quasi gale
Sounds like you didn't setup the override properly. What do you have attached to the VRC_AvatarDescriptor component?
craggy sage
torn pawn
@craggy sage you do animation on duplicate, then put that animation file in the controller
craggy sage
yes
torn pawn
never create/drag n drop animation files on your main avatar
craggy sage
-.-
torn pawn
wait, or is that an idle animation change?
craggy sage
hand idle
torn pawn
then ignore what I said, is a different issue then I guess
i personally haven't messed with idles
clear yew
The avatar I'm using has blend shapes that activate when I look up or down. Where would I find the settings to change that?
mint mulch
missing eyelids cause mouth to open
lower eyelids*
Or just recreate the eyetracking so the lower eyelids are created
slim sparrow
Ohh, so that's why my aa shapes keep glitching on one model
slim sparrow
Is there any way to disable eye blinking (and possibly lipsync) while a gesture is in use?
I tried forcing all the lipsync shape keys to 0 within the animation, but that breaks lipsync entirely
lilac cave
as far as i know you can only stop blinking if its custom (not cats)
safe nebula
Hi everyone, i just had the same problem (avatar stuck in ground when playing an emote) but the issue seems to be different
what could it come from
i've managed to fix this problem before but i dont remember how to do at all
it has something to do with the overrides..
weak raft
Hey guys, so i've added muzzle /sound effect to a gun, and i'm wondering if there's any way to activate muzzle/sound effect only when i have the gun out? I don't want to be able to activate only the muzzle/sound effect when i don't have the gun out.
obsidian vigil
@weak raft yes
include the sound in the animation you do the muzzle in and enable it only when the gun is active
disable it by default
weak raft
I mean, i'm able tt take out the gun without the effects triggering, but i'
i'm also able to trigger the effects without the gun out, when i click the gesture.
i'm guessing that's not possible
torn pawn
you do it by using both controllers
have gun on 1 controller, then audio source disabled under it, or in a disabled empty object
then with 2nd controller you enable the object that holds audio source
this is how you avoid sound that u dont want to accidentally trigger, or any other effects
also a way to have 16 overrides
i mean, you use 2 trigger buttons for it*
replace "controller" to "button" in my first 2 sentences
weak raft
do i remove the gun from the animation effects? But keep only the muzzle and sound effect
obsidian vigil
@torn pawn you mean like doing stuff with left and right hand at the same time?
torn pawn
you put muzzle and sound under empty object
then have the empty object under your gun, empty object disabled
muzzle and sound enabled by default
@obsidian vigil not technically, but it's using both controllers, holding one button then pressing or holding button on other controller
that enables a child under the first buttons parent
@weak raft so you have Wrist, uner wrist is Gun and under Gun is Empty Object under Object is your Muzzle + Audio source, Gun and Empty Object Disabled by default, muzzle and audio source enabled by default
you create 2 animations, 1st that enables your Gun, then 2nd that enables your Empty Object
you can activate your muuzzle+soound ONLY when your gun is out
weak raft
What do you mean by "empty object"? Do i create a new object and then put both muzzle and sound under it?
weak raft
ok, i think i got it. I'll return if i'm successful or not
weak raft
damn, it actually works! thanks a lot
safe nebula
Still no idea about my stuck in the ground problem?
torn pawn
@safe nebula if you use emote, your entire body has to be animated, i think
torn pawn
i havent done animations through emotes, but from what i know the entire body has to be animated, otherwise it will be in ground
safe nebula
how do i make sure i animated everything?
OK i found the ultimate answer to my problem so im writing this here for those who got my problem
Copy the "animator.root T" key from the idle animation for example
paste it in your animation
bam fixed
thx for helping c:

https://gyazo.com/965b39dbbb5f8060587394dabbe1f05a so... trying to set up the animation as humanoid gives me these warnings and makes the animation look like trash, while legacy ignores said warnings and makes the animation smooth af
how to proceed? 👀
clear yew
for gesture particle animations, should it all be done with simultaneous systems and start delays? or does putting keyframes in animations work?
torn pawn
what do u want to do
clear yew
well it's just going to be a charge up effect followed by a blastwave
torn pawn
gesture overrides work only if frame 0 and 1
so you have to put delay on the particle systems
clear yew
alright
which also means my sfx would all have to key at the start as well
i was wanting to have the blast sound trigger when the blast started incase of lag, but if i can't i guess that's fine
torn pawn
you can add silence at the start of the track and match it the particle delay, it should work
clear yew
that wouldn't make any difference
be easier to just combine the audio in audacity into a single ogg
ty tho
woven surge
Hello, do someone knows how I can summon a sword and move freely withouth the sword moving with me and staying in place? tried world space particles but I don't get that to work
wicked garnet
so it seems that my avatars arm is spazzing out for some people. is there a way to fix this?
anyone?
slim sparrow
@woven surge I'm pretty sure world particles are the only way to do that
If you can't get it to work, then you should describe that problem in more detail
woven surge
I don't know how to set that on a particle system. On shape, if it's mesh or mesh renderer.
Tried mesh but nothing
clear yew
you need to use rigid body
woven surge
Rigid body? First time doing this
clear yew
surreal iron
@quasi gale did what you told me to, still looks like trash in humanoid
woven surge
Oh you mean that. Yeah I know how to set world particles on my particle systems, but I'm trying to do that not with a particle but with a weapon, I want the weapon to stay in place while I move, so it doesn't follow me, and stays on the ground
Managed to put Shape > mesh, and the body of my weapon, so I can see now my weapon but cannot see the textures, I only see like the vertices
clear yew
so an actual 3d model ?
surreal iron

woven surge
Yeah, a 3d model of my weapon as a particle system
surreal iron
any way to fix my issue with a humanoid rig?
clear yew
@woven surge you need to have only one material to your model if you want to use it as a mesh particle
woven surge
Oh.... okay, didn't know that. My weapon has 4 materials... how can I join them on a single one?
clear yew
with blender i think
what you can try is to use a dummy particle
i never tried myself so i dont know if it will work but you basically create a invisible particle system with a very long duration and parent the model of the sword to it
warm salmon
ok so i need help
idk if this goes in the animation tab but i just need some help
I want to make a gesture where he spawns a static gameobject cube that is invisible, and have that cube play the "KIRA QUEEN" sound. then later i want to press a button and have the click play, then have the particle of explosion play with the sound of the explosion ON the cube, BUT i dont want the cube to follow me as a player.
surreal iron
NANI?
warm salmon
yea
i know
would i have to use a script of some kind? or something?
cause i fucking suck at scritps
slim sparrow
The only way to spawn objects in the world is to use particles, which are purely visual
Otherwise, the object will move along with you
warm salmon
well basically
i want an invisible thing, doesnt matter what, but have the audio of the explosion and the particle of the explosion tied to it, and to have it stay in place, then have it where i can detonate it, and when i do, the click is on me, and it activates the explosion audio and particles
basically simulating his first bomb from jojo
clear yew
you will need 2 gestures for that
one to spam the actual bombs and the other to make it explode
warm salmon
well i have it set up
where when i gesture fist, it spawns a particle of smokes to let me know if i spawned it right, havent tested it, BUT, idk how to make the gesture explode the audio and particles AT the place where i palced the bomb
clear yew
spawn an inactive "empty game object" at the same place, you can even parent it to the bombs
and parent the explosion particles to it so you just activate the empty gam object to simulate the explosion
warm salmon
wait so how?
wouldnt doing that gesture tho deactivate my one of placing it down tho?
clear yew
if you still hold the fist will you make the explosion it will not deactivate it
warm salmon
no no, what i want to happen, in order
is my guy yells kira queen, thing is placed, thing stays in place, i move to another position, thing stays, i then click or activate, and then when i do it clicks audio on me, and activates particles and audio on that place where it was placed
any ideas?
fallen crypt
Hey guys, I tested adding audio to movement animations
But it started playing running audio when I walk, there's fix to this? I tried disable the running audio in walk animation, but I guessed it that it will not work because it's a separate animation?
warm salmon
ok, so i can enable the object using the gesture, like i named a particle thing kira bomb, i can enable it correctly, but it still follows me as a player
i want it to stay where i activated it
clear yew
can anyone help me with making a particle, as in a 2d particle have sprite-like orentation that rotates with the camera onlly on certain axis... like if i wanted to make a 2d bullet or 2d beam that you can see around it and it rotates to follow, but coming straight at you it would be very thin
a particle that only rotates on one axis to follow camera
@warm salmon set the particles to world
warm salmon
well i dont want the particles on world, i want the actual system itself to stay in place.
@clear yew i mean ill try it anyway but mmmmmm
clear yew
@warm salmon that's what word does
set simulation space to world and they will be relative to world instead of following whatever part you parented them to
warm salmon
they are still folowwing tho
i just tried it, with world is simulation space, and the scaling mode to local
@clear yew so what do i do, just try all three modes?
warm salmon
idk if i have rigid bodies and how to use em
clear yew
people might parent it to an invisible rigidbody prop that drops in place, i don't remember the details though
warm salmon
how does one do that tho
warm salmon
yea
warm salmon
how do i make it where the particles stay on the rigidbody, and the rigidbody does not follow my avatar. then, how do i make it where that rigid body plays the particles and audio of explosion
icy hazel
Basically too few people use rigidbodies so we dont really have good advice for it
Frankly they all seemed to just trial and error it when they talked about it
Especially the JoJo stand people
clear yew
yeah because it's not the rigid body that have the issue
it's particles set to World that are wonky AF in vrchat
you can try finding an individual who's done it, have things that are stationary when they move, and ask them how they did it
warm salmon
ok
so i can place the bomb with my left, and activate with my right, and even maybe make my thumb click down when i do, but how do i make the bomb stay in a certain spot
clear yew
i just tried to spawn a world particle at my wrist and it stays there
as long as i hold my hand gesture
is there a way to use stretched billboard orientation logic without the stretching??
urban current
Anyway to make emotes over 10 sec? 😃
warm salmon
svelsien, yea, but i dont want the particle / the systems of audio and particles to be on my body, i specifically DONT want it following me
clear yew
this might sound dumb... but for some reason, no matter what i do to my particle system, the particles always appear with semi-randomized orientations
i want it to always go the same
i've tried mesh, i've tried making a tiny box, i've tried edge
randomize direction is set to 0
nevermind, it was velocity over lifetime that was screwing with it
@warm salmon if you set it to world it wont follow you, can just put the sound directly on it too
warm salmon
@clear yew @clear yew basically, putting a world particle on my rigid body game object, im pretty sure it still just follows me
clear yew
dunno what to say, you might be missing something...
slim steeple
How can I make a mesh that I transformed stay in the end phase of it's animation instead of repetedly returning to it's original state and then trying to do an animation again?
warm salmon
possibly turn off time loop on the animation
maybe set no default state in animator for the hand motions if its a gesture, otherwise idk
warm scarab
Hello there, I have this little robot following my avatar around. I have an animation set to pick him up to show him to people. But I was wondering if there was a way I could get it so I could maybe sit him in another position to float on. Like lets just say picking him up from my left shoulder and putting him on my right shoulder without having to use a separate animation to keep him on my right shoulder.
warm salmon
@clear yew and @clear yew it still follows me. did a empty gameobject, put the stuff on world, scaling on shape, still follows me
glass anchor
anyone else having troubles triggering sound?
did it the same way I always do and now it just wont play in-game
heavy stirrup
Gr. How do i rotate armatures during a walking animation?
Someone told me how but it didn't work-- namely separating the armature and attaching it inside of Unity.... But i still can't seem to get them to rotate within walk cycles
I feel like i'm just missing something. The attachment is generic and not humanoid, for what it's worth. Though the main body is humanoid.
torn pawn
@warm salmon you use world mesh particle for that with 0 velocity, high lifespan
@glass anchor mby you missed a simple step? I did two avatars today with multiple sound effects
torn pawn
yes, i spawn rooms that dont follow me
warm salmon
@torn pawn what i want to happen, is i gesture my fist, and it spawns invisible object holding audio and particles of explosion on hold
i then change position, the object doesnt, and i activate the audio and particles remotely
@torn pawn so you got any ideas on how to do that?
torn pawn
then i guess rigid body is the only way i can think of, but I haven't played around with them
i use only particles so spawned "object" stays where spawns
warm salmon
@torn pawn @clear yew i wanna die
clear yew
i also have a question about spawning a 3d object, i basically want to have a knuckles puppet in my hand, i know i can do that with a particle with mesh render, but the problem is it will be in t pose and static, i want it to appear in my hand with an idle animation, how the hell do i do that?
by the way try setting the cube to local, and in the unity hierarchy thing move it under your hips
the cube should follow you
torn pawn
@clear yew i used http://prntscr.com/is85zd to have knuckles dancing + he'll follow under whatever bone he is under
clear yew
on another model of mine i want to lay down a clone of myself, the problem is that it spawn inside and it follow me around so there is no point
lunar pasture
Simple question, can an IDLE animation be longer than a frame?
clear yew
sure
i often made my own blinking animatino as idle animatoin and is usually 15 second long
lunar pasture
awesome
torn pawn
you need to rig it as humanoid then u put animator controller on him and the dude will dance in your hand @clear yew
clear yew
yes i understand now
cause the only thing in the animator is dance (or idle like i will add to it)
warm salmon
my prob is i still cant figure this shit out
lunar pasture
oooh I might do an animation where I get a knuckles and squish it flat beween my hands 😄
torn pawn
you guys are a bit late with that tho 😓
clear yew
i am trying to spawn a 3d model on the floor, but i want it to have an idle animation so i cannot use particles system, i need to activate that objecy with an animation so it must be a child of my main model in the unity hierarchy, the problem is that if i do so the model follow me around and i want it to stay where it is, how can i make it render to 'world' and not 'local'?
warm scarab
Hmhm..
clear yew
activating it with an animation is not 100% necessary, the problem is that the game object must stay in place and not follow me
warm salmon
could ANYONE help me with this? im still having major trouble
i dont have any trouble making it do the audio, and having audio and particle of the explosion on the gesture, but i just cant seem to make it stay in one place like i want it to
lunar pasture
define stay in one place
clear yew
for example, i spawn in a world, i activate that game object so it stays at spawn, and i can move around the world without having it follow me
whenj i activate it now it appear one meter in front of me, like i placed it in the scene in unity, the problem is when i move it moves with me
warm salmon
@lunar pasture well, i wanna use a gesture, have said gesture spawn a gameobject or enable it, but put it at my feet, and then when i move away, have the thing stay where i first activated it
clear yew
the same thing i want to do
lunar pasture
right then, well that's a thing to work together on then.
warm salmon
well we cant figure it out
clear yew
if it was a particle i could just set it to world instead of local, problem solved
warm salmon
yea
clear yew
but is a game object, not particle
warm salmon
but i want something that holds audio and another particle
empty owl
Hey, Im animating this avatar and i see 2 things that i have a question about
clear yew
i have a 3d object holding a particle system, and i want to place it in one spot and it must stay there where i activate it, even if i move
empty owl
What the diffrence between SPRINTFWD and RUNFWD in the AnimatorOverride. Is one for Keyboard and other is vr or like what?
warm salmon
well the same thing moz but mine is more complicated
i want to place a particle effect or gameobject, doesnt matter, basically invisible, on place i want audio of a priming noise i have, then i move away, it stays still, and when i activate it it plays particles and audio where i first spawned it
i dont even care if the thing follows me as long as the audio and particles emit where i first spawned the object
final gazelle
@empty owl they seem to just be different speeds, so Walk > Run > Sprint
empty owl
ah, ok.
final gazelle
although with the animation controller template, they both use the "Run" animation by default anyway, so i'm not sure if you can actually make them into two different animation clips with a humanoid
empty owl
ok
warm salmon
so im guessing noone can help me?
lunar pasture
It's not something I've done but I'm looking at the shitty documentation, which is of no help whatsoever
https://docs.vrchat.com/v1.0/docs/vrc_objectsync maybe this?
warm salmon
hold on, im trying diff things
maybe we could do something like this with scripting?
im shiit at scripting which limits me
BUT
what if, on key press, it played the primer audio where i was standing, and in the script it took note of the world position of where i was, then, when i let go of the button, it activates the particles and audio, and puts them at the saved location
would that work and if so, where would i put it / what would i type?
heavy stirrup
Reposting to ask again:
How do i rotate armatures during a walking animation? My recent attempt was separating the walking body and keeping it generic and attaching it to the humanoid body.
Can't seem to get the leg bones/armature to rotate during the walking cycles inside VRchat.
I feel like i'm just missing something.
