agile monolith
slim sparrow
@sick musk yes
sick musk
Example would be your eyes are blue, you blink and they turn red
agile monolith
you mean legacy is ticked in debug?
slim sparrow
Just hit record and change the material in the mesh properties
@agile monolith it should be unticked, and yes, that is what he means
agile monolith
serious? so just to make sure, for the animation, i shoul have it unchecked
molten elm
Why does it not look good in-game?
slim sparrow
Yes, you should not have Legacy checked.
It should only ever be checked if you have a really good reason to do so.
sick musk
sorry where would i find that again
slim sparrow
And the only reason to have Legacy animations, is to use them in an Animation component (as opposed to Animator) @agile monolith
In normal games, you wouldn't even need to touch the Legacy checkbox. It's necessary in this game so you can have an "always-active" animation that you can toggle at will.
@sick musk open the mesh and go to the Skinned Mesh Renderer properties
A good example of a Legacy animation is blinking. The game can already do blinking for you, but if you want to disable blinking in a gesture, you'll have to manually animate the blinking yourself and then mark it as Legacy.
agile monolith
weird tho, its worked for me for so long and only now its causing a problem
slim sparrow
Personally, I used legacy animations to give myself wing flap, but I could have just put an animator in the root bone of the wings lol
agile monolith
thank, ill mess around and see if that solves it
slim sparrow
Maybe the game/SDK updated and changed something in the default animator component
agile monolith
maybe, hopefully its just that
sick musk
Thanks

Anyone know how to trigger animation to my W button keyboard? i want to use run animation when i press W button on my spider is it hard to do? or if someone know the steps i really want to follow it : ( i have the animations and my spider model and i can't connect them, i just can use animations but when i use the animations on my spider the in loop and my spider running forever in vrchat i want to use idle the default animation the spider is moving like breathing and when i press W button the spider start running is it hard to learn somewhere? i can't found tutorials about this im trying this 12 hour and can't figure out .
and how can i connect my model with the animator panel?
torn pawn
clear yew
i know its no humanoid but its just W button
animation + w button its hard to do ?
i saw a guy who imported a spider into vrchat he did it so its possible but i cant found that guy: (
if i can i will learn the scripts too i saw its not long scripting just a few type
aaah dude : ((((
oh i see something yuumi
Non Humanoids currently support the following animations:
Idle
Airborne
Walk forward
Walk backward
Walk Left
Walk Right
this
nevermind then
oh yuumi i try to follow the steps thanks:)
hey yuumi but i have the animations why i need to make one : s
well i trying and testing more
clear yew
its good thanks
agile ruin
Anyone knows how to make it so a gesture override shows a shape key for an indefinite time?
slim sparrow
This has been asked a lot, but I don't think this is possible
Animation effects go away when the animation ends
slim sparrow
What do you want to accomplish? There might still be a way
agile ruin
I made shapekeys for both the skirt and blindfold for the 2b chiya model i did
so i could use them in an animation to hide them etc
but if theres no way to do something like that, i'll just upload 2 versions
slim sparrow
I've heard about people who can enable/disable objects in emotes, but I'm extremely skeptical of that and never seen it done.
As for the blindfold, there is a way, but it's kind of a weird way.
The blindfold has to be its own mesh, and it has to be only one material.
agile ruin
but then it would reappear after ending the gesture
slim sparrow
You can attach a mesh particle system (0 speed, local simulation space) to your head. Make it emit a blindfold. Max 1 particle. Particle system is always active, but the emission module is disabled by default.
When you press a gesture, the emission module activates and puts the blindfold on your head.
When you press another gesture, the particle system disables itself temporarily and the blindfold is removed
Super hacky but it should work perfectly once put into place.
I've seen people do worse things with particles
agile ruin
never worked with mesh particle systems tho
slim sparrow
They're easy
The particle system auto-simulates in the editor, so you can just position it on your head correctly
I have two questions about particles.
The first one, how do I stop my particles from colliding with myself? They're spawned from my hand and the collision with myself is messing them up sometimes.
Like when I aim them the wrong way or something
And the second one, how do I modify particle speed after they're spawned?
Changing the start speed doesn't seem to do anything. I know it's possible because I've seen people do it.
Oh, I guess you can't change the speed of already spawned particles, but you can change the simulation speed. That's a little difficult to work around, but can be done.
So, how do I fix my particle collisions? Ideally, they should only collide with the world.
slim sparrow
Add an audio source and enable it
slim sparrow
Add an audio source and enable it
You just enable it in the animation. There are plenty of YT tutorials
zealous prism
I don't have unity in front of me but I think you Select your avatar, hit add component and add an audio source, turn off the audio source by unchecking it. open the animation panel, find the animation you're changing in the drop-down, hit the record button and turn on your audio source by hitting the checkbox next to it.

is there a way to lengthen the animation
surreal iron
guys a question
https://gyazo.com/59b1376d61d86352fe96587fe41faefa could this fuck up my custom animations as humanoid?
@wooden grove in blender you can lenghten it by selecting all your keyframes and pressing S, then you make it as long as you want
wooden grove
ok ty
surreal iron
unity sucks for animations tbh
wooden grove
I need my music to play through longer

clear yew
@slim sparrow you can enable objects permanently with an emote by breaking the animation
slim sparrow
Do tell
wooden grove
why is it when i use my emote
and go to a different world
It dont play the music anymore
When I use it
clear yew
It would be far too lengthy to explain here but it’s called a toggle. You essentially break yourself free of the emote whilst it’s in progress
slim sparrow
@wooden grove that happens sometimes, it still works, but some maps like avatar testing break it
clear yew
Takes a lot of components in unity
slim sparrow
Oh, that's weird. How would that work? Do you have a guide/tut somewhere?
wooden grove
So if I just go to some maps it will keep it working, and others will break it
thats weird
clear yew
And another who can toggle through 8 weapons on one gesture and keep them out
slim sparrow
That's cool. But can you explain it? Even just the basics
clear yew
I don’t know the basics of how it works inside unity, just what the process is doing
slim sparrow
Ah
clear yew
It’s not something they want spread either
Since it drastically increases what you can do
You know how people are
slim sparrow
I'm guessing it's a legacy animation that turns its own animation component off
I've seen objects get stuck like that before
Oh nvm, that wouldn't work like that
clear yew
It’s something similar I believe
slim sparrow
Yeah, I think I'm on the right track with this one. I'll investigate it some more
Can't promise that I won't spread it lol, I don't hoard information
clear yew
But I believe that’s for the basic 1 toggle
No clue how they’re toggling 8+ objects via one animation
And picking which they want
Probably some timing thing
slim sparrow
It's almost certainly timing
If you make the animation switch weapon every 0.5 seconds, you could just add a gesture trigger to make the animation stuck again
Still, I rarely emote. This frees up like 4 slots lol
Now I can finally make my game-accurate Athena Cykes
clear yew
I believe it’s one gesture breaking and another going through options
eager vault
Usually I combo gestures, like I have a bunch of empties nested so they only work when I use 2 gestures at the same time. Doing that I have many things to do
slim sparrow
That's also a good idea. Kinda running out of gestures on this one lol
But that's not always a possibility, sometimes you just have a bunch of gestures that are all shape keys or alteration of some game object
eager vault
Yea, I usually leave point and rock n roll expressionless so I can mix and match without my face looking too goofy

quasi gale
@slim sparrow @eager vault Search for "Toggle Props" in the #development-advanced channel. The package is largely outdated and it's annoying as hell to setup, but it generally does what you're looking for.
Toggled props also are not synchronized across the network, so late joiners will not see any changes until you reset the toggle.

Ah, I can see this was made in the days when desktop didn't have gestures

slim sparrow
What's the best way to trigger animations on child objects from a gesture?
Spawn an object with the animation preprogrammed, or something else?
I have an animation with rather complex states
Basically, I have a weapon that I can spawn, but I also want it to fire and then pump after firing
Should I spawn another instance of the weapon which then fires, or can I use a better way to animate the firing?
surreal iron
does someone have experience with desktop gestures?
slim sparrow
@surreal iron just ask your question, don't ask to ask
A lot of people in here have experience with desktop gestures, but they can't be arsed pulling some random guy's teeth on what his problem is.

I'm using a prefab particle system as sub emitter, but I can't do that since it's a prefab
How do I make this still work? Can't I copy a non-prefab version?
I already did GameObject->Break prefab instance, but that didn't work.
slim sparrow
Alright, so I got that to work by deleting the prefab
But now the next problem
My sub emitter triggers immediately, not on collision or death. How to fix?
clear yew
check the parent of the subemitter
in the subemitter part you can choose how you want it to spawn
it's probably set to "birth"
slim sparrow
No, it's set to death
I made 100% sure of that
Like, the plain sub emitters work, but one that I used from a prefab does not
They're not even set to Play On Awake either
I parented the prefab to a newly generated one. The newly generated one works, but its children still trigger immediately.
Oh, it works if I manually add each part as a sub-emitter
But then I can only have two
clear yew
subemitters?
frank yarrow
so can anyone help me here, basically im trying to make an animation with sprites walking along a 3d space but i dont know how exactly to do it
slim sparrow
I actually got my particles to work, apparently the limit for subemitters is no longer 2
@frank yarrow that is very tricky. I've seen people do it, though.
It depends. Do you want the sprite to always face whoever is looking at it? Or is it fine for it to be a 2D object in a 3D world?
If so, you can just make a quad and put your textures on there. Swap out the textures in a custom walking animation.
frank yarrow
its meant to be a 2d object in a 3d world
slim sparrow
If you want it to always face the camera, you need to use particle systems with billboard renderers
Just make a quad and put a texture on it. Animate it as you see fit.
frank yarrow
do i need to do that in blender or can i do that in unity
im actually new to animation so i dont really know anything
slim sparrow
In unity
I suggest you look up how to create custom animations in Unity. This should be fairly easy, but also very time-consuming
frank yarrow
well i have looked for tutorials but nothing about how to make sprites move in the world
even though this project is part of an avatar
violet kraken
somebody know why when i move my particle system itself it works but when i move the whole model it doesnt ? its a trail particle on my eyes
frank yarrow
so i think i figured out how to animate the sprite to move. i need to now need to copy and paste the frames so it gives me enough time to move the sprite where i want it to go
molten elm
Can nobody tell me why my blinking animation loses its quality after importing over to VRchat? It looks normal in Unity but turns into a simple 1 frame blink in-game?
sick musk
Try making it longer?
molten elm
I mean, it was normal before, then I started making hand gesture overrides, imported, and now it's like this
I don't geddit
sick musk
Do you have a gif of it?
clear yew
did you create eye tracking with cats ?
molten elm
Yeah? But like I said, it was working until I started giving the model hand gesture emotes
I didn't let cats touch blinking
sick musk
The only time I would need blinking with cats is in an animation that is longer than 30s
clear yew
i wonder if it's just for you and looks fine for others
sick musk
I mean the gif looks fine
From what I can tell
(But it’s probably just my eyes playing tricks)
frank yarrow
does anyone know how to add more keyframes to an animation for sprites?
like making it a longer loop
molten elm
They might not look much different for some people I guess
torn pawn
@frank yarrow sheet being animated by shader or particle system?
torn pawn
i thinku gotta make a custom animation and then have it under an object with animator that is enabled when firing, haven't done it myself tho
frank yarrow
i mean i could just copy and paste the sprites so its a longer clip but im not too sure
im onlygood at turning into objects. not animating said objects
slim sparrow
You probably want to swap out the gun for an identical copy which immediately plays a firing animation once, sliding back the slide in the process
@pseudo iris
So you'd have two guns: an idle one, and one which immediately plays a firing animation when activated.
clear yew
particle gurus: I want a system to stop emitting in an animation, but the particles that already spawned should die out naturally, it seems to kill off everything when I disable the emitter
clear yew
make the particle system always active
but disable "emission"
and use an hand gesture or other animation to activate the emission
@clear yew so system always active, only emitter disabled and keyframe emitter on/off?
pliant plank
That's an interesting workaround...
clear yew
yep
I guess I didn't think that'd work because if you do that by hand in unity it just culls all the particles
the particle is always active
sweet, thanks man!
so wahtever you spanwed
pliant plank
So the emission die off, but it won't disable the particles themselves
clear yew
will not disappear as soon as you stop emitting
pliant plank
That's pretty neato
clear yew
that's how i did the smoke for my pipe
even if put away the pipe
the smoke that spawned will still float in the air
pliant plank
The system is always there, just not doing anything
clear yew
yeah, I've seen examples, just doesn't work like that in the unity editor, thanks for saving me a lot of time testing
exactly
it's active but not emitting
pliant plank
That could make for some pretty crazy effects actually
clear yew
you can basically spawn things permanently
put a lifetime of 1 000 000 and just spawn them
they will be there until you switch avatars
you can also spawn bombs at your hand position
and use another hand gesture to make to fall all at once
or put a box collider in your hand and make them explode when you touch them
you can do so much with those particles

does vrchat have 60fps model animation?

so you know how mmd models come with animations and stuff
and like mmd models have the vocals and eye animation shape keys already done
its just values that you implement properly into an animation
so uh
pichu here has a mesh and a texture
...what
do i do lol
because most tutorials just tell you oh just make an animation put the weird named thing on and change the value
but yknow i kinda cant here
where do i start? I was thinking duplicating the eye mesh a few times, putting on the textures on each mesh, and then on an animation make the default eyes invisible and the desired eyes visible

agile ruin
Do you need scripts for particle system collision with player avatars?
heavy stirrup
Been out of the loop for a while. Anyone figure out how to rotate armatures during a humanoid walking animation?
slim sparrow
@agile ruin I don't think so
Someone earlier on told me that you can build/publish a VRC world, and that will set the collision layers to the correct ones in your project settings
Then you can put your avatar descriptor back and remove the world
agile ruin
And that makes particle system collision to players work?
slim sparrow
If you select the correct layers, then yeah
Instead of the layers being the default ones, you'll get more workable layers
heavy stirrup
So out of curiosity, i tried entirely deleting the Locomotion Layer of the animator controller, in trying to figure out my issues.
After uploading, my avatar moves normally, despite having zero links to the default animations
Why is this? Shouldn't i be moving without actually walking like a generic without animations?
ashen sedge
Humanoids' controllers are not editable.
Or, well, the game throws away yours and applies its own

The issue is that the default humanoid controller doesn't permit armature rotations

Final IK is whitelisted (And is used by humanoid controller) so you could use that I suppose

Is there any good videos tutorials on how to set up the animator in unity because I need to replace the default idle and moving animation for a model
Plus I can't really check myself yet because I am stuck on mobile data for the day and there isn't enough left to play even a small 15 minute video
obsidian vigil
@vivid pond havent messed with idles yet but i think an idle anim is on your model and set to legacy not inside an animator
vivid pond
That's annoying
So is that going to be easier or harder to change then if that is the case
obsidian vigil
hmm
dont immediately try it on your main model
make a duplicate and mess with that
then add an animation component to the duplicate
drag your animation on
head into debug mode and enable legacy
vivid pond
Ok thanks
I will try that next time I'm on my main pc
Also I already knew not to do anything animation wise on the main model
obsidian vigil
just sayin 😄
cuz i actually misclicked yesterday and had to redo approximately 3 hours of work
vivid pond
Oh rip
That is why backing the file up in a new scene for every minor change is important then backing up the project for a major change.
And it's fine because saying to make a duplicate avatar is just good advice to in general and I could of worded the sentence above a lot better.
slim sparrow
I've seen people pull off their own head with gestures. What's the best way to do that? I can shrink down the head in a gesture and spawn a new mesh on my hand, but I think the smoothing might look weird
Should I leave the head as a separate mesh instead?
obsidian vigil
@slim sparrow probably do both, shrink head, have a separate on the actual head and one on you hand
The 1 gesture shrinks normal and makes 2nd one visible
slim sparrow
Yeah, I just don't want the head to smoothly shrink down as I grab it
I know I'll have to have a separate head mesh in my hand
slim sparrow
But I can just shrink down my head bone
Separating my own head into a new mesh and then shrinking that down isn't gonna help against the smoothing
obsidian vigil
Nah not what i meant
You shrink the actual one
Keep a normal sized one on there
And it disappears on a 2nd gesture
Id split it into 2
Basically
lilac cave
also if youre worried about tweening between frames
select all of the frames rightclick and choose flat
or the last option under both curves
dont remember the exact name but its good to know
slim sparrow
Yeah, but that only works within the animation
The smoothing between two different gestures is happening inside VRChat's animation controller
It looks great for hand gestures and facial expressions, not so much for popping objects in/out of existence
Unless it's a separate object you enable
floral imp
I’m having a problem and I’m sure that there is a simple fix. I made custom blinking animations for an avatar, but when I assign them to “idle” the model sinks into the floor. What generally is the fix for that.
lilac cave
dont assign it to idle
add the component animation to your character
change your blink animation to legacy (option found in debug)
floral imp
Will it work if I have custom over rides?
lilac cave
and then assign the legacy animation in the component
ya
itll work better since it means you can turn blinking off
allowing other eye keyshapes to be used as gesture overrides
slim sparrow
Oh, making the FPS higher is a good idea
lilac cave
debug is found by changing (properties?) to debug by selecting it from the drop down menu from the three bars (next to the lock)
all of this is done in unity
i still think changing the twening should work but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
languid pier
Hi everyone, can someone give me tips on how to add clothes with emotes in vr chat ? Or how to do a (die) emotes, examples, but instead of waiting the whole motion to end i can keep moving but the animation goes on
chilly vapor
hand gesture overrides
the override animation will tell different parts of the body to be visible or not. So when someone pulls a sword off thier back, they technicly have two swords and are just changing the visibility of each one. Same for clothing. As for doing a full body animation with gesture override, those are usually a copy of the model itself that plays the animation on being set to active and disabling your main model
torn pawn
you can put an animator onto an object and have it play the animation on wakeup, then enable the object on gesture - can have w/e frame length + u dont get stuck in emote
chilly vapor
😛 i need to start filling up a text document with well written descriptions instead of always doing the tl:dr versions of it i always do
ivory hollow
With gesture overrides (specifically, working with your sword example) - do "hidden" props that are switched between have any impact on performance when hidden?
Regardless of if it's a negligible amount.
I'm sure it would never be an issue, I'm just curious as to how that works.

can someone guide me how to add humanoid armature to my tank so i can actually use gestures on it https://gyazo.com/d15b47fed6185381f0bd593e6ef60fe6
slim sparrow
Oh dang, it turns out you cannot change bone scale in animations
Is there any other way to hide my head without making the head a separate mesh?
I think it's because the humanoid rig has full control over the head, so I'd have to use animator properties. Naturally, humanoid rigs don't exactly have an option to shrink the head.
I made a shape key in Blender to hide the head instead
Stupid but it works
chilly vapor
im suprirsed taht boen scale isnt suported
but yeah, shapekey would have been what i sugested
clear yew
to have a triple head model but 2 can shrink down into main head just make a shape key in blender, i have something similar, i selected head vertices, duplicate them, scaled them down in a shape key and i just use that as hand gesture over ride, the 3 heads appear from the main one, they also all talk and blink at once is hilarious

Hey everyone, does anyone know if it is possible to make a blinking animation on a 2D model by using different face materials? Like, 1 face eyes open, 1 half open, 1 half closed and 1 fully closed, and then create an loop animation to show allways? I tried and the animation worked on Unity but not on VRchat.
final gazelle
VRChat uses visemes/blendshapes to achieve blinking, so i don't think you'd be able to achieve it normally using VRChat's own in-built system
you could try to embed the texture/material changes into your own custom idle animations though
but it'd pretty much always play on a pre-defined loop, rather than being sporadically random
thick crypt
I gotta ask, the unity updates that are available right now, which one do I use? I tried to download 5.6.3p1 but it gave 5.6.3f1 instead, and...the first time I tried to use it, it's the 2017 unity which...oddly is more up to date.
cursive moon
Couldn't you just make an animation where the material changes at each specific frame you want it to and then add that animation (as a legacy loop) to an Animation on the avatar?
Also Hydro it's gotta be 5.6.3p1 , link here https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases/5.6.3p1
final gazelle
^quite possibly, i've never worked with legacy loops -- though i'm guessing the gist of your approach is to have the eye materials changing on their own separate animation loop to the rest of the avatar?
cursive moon
Yep. That's what I do for all my avatars (albeit with blendshapes rather than material swaps) since I prefer a consistent blink to random ones
final gazelle
i never actually thought to do that, thanks for the idea 😛
now i can actually get blinking pokemon
thick crypt
Nothing extra, just the documentation, standard assets, and unity 5.6.3p1 right?
thick crypt
Right.
inland gull
@cursive moon Do you mean dragging the animation to PRONEIDLE?
I tried adding the legacy loop on the Animation tab but it only works on Unity, not on VRchat
agile ruin
@slim sparrow about the player collision thing. I was talking about avatars particle systems, were you as well?
upbeat sage
does anyone know if there is a way to keep the animation tab either open in unity. like for example i am animating a hand and the fingers. i have to keep going back through the whole list every time for every section of the fingers. It's kind of slow. But i was just wondering if there is a way to add multiple things at a time or a way to keep the window always open in that specific tab
surreal iron
does anyone know if IK on the legs may cause a custom animation to look like poop in humanoid rig but 10/10 as legacy?
upbeat sage
also say i have to fix my model in blender. then i want to transfer it back to unity. can i just somehow paste the animations back without having to redo them
cursive moon
@upbeat sage You can export a new .fbx from Blender, and navigate to your Assets folder of your Unity project, and throw it where your original .fbx you imported to Unity is. Unity will reimport the file and will update whatever you changed (sometimes this messes with the bone rigging and you might have to fix it, but it's just doing something you've done already)
sick musk
Ok I seem to be missing a vital component for the animator
junior epoch
Heyo! Trying to do a animation on my world where pressing a button moves a wall (cube). Any idea how to achieve this? I've played around alittle with the animation components in triggers but unsure what to do
junior epoch
I should rephrase my question: How would I go about triggering an animation from a trigger in my world?
(In terms of what components to use for the animation part)
clear yew
Anyone know where to edit the time gestures on your hand transition from one to another? It's somewhere in the SDK. The time difference from resting hand to one of the five hand motions is longer than it is from one of the five to each other.
Resting hand -> Point (0.8 seconds) then Point -> Victory (0.4 seconds)
upbeat sage
@spice furnace I was wondering if you could explain the animation thing. I have the looping problem. My friend told me something similar about doing like a short animation and then having the full animation be triggered by it. But i don't seem to be doing it right.
lilac cave
itd be nice if legacy animations supported material swaps
slim sparrow
@upbeat sage use Muscle Animation Editor
Unfortunately, you'll have to either use that asset or add all the fingers one by one
Muscle Animation Editor is probably not as great for creating complex and long animations as dedicated tools, but it's great for poses and fixing up existing animations
@clear yew I don't think you can edit that
It's something that's done in the animation controller, which you cannot replace
It's been asked as a feature before, the devs said they didn't want to add it because then people would have to make their own animations from scratch and would be unable to use the default ones
obsidian vigil
Just a quick question: If i have a particle system that is being emitted from my wrist, its a world particle under an empty object in my armature (fixed joint on empty obj and rigidbody on wrist) will i be able to spawn a new empty object on collision (as in i put a sub emitter which has an audiosource and stuff parented) will all of it be loaded where the sub emitter is?
clear yew
as far as i know, you can't put any sound on particle systems
slim sparrow
Not even with sub-emitters?
slim sparrow
Damn
clear yew
sounds on particles doesnt work
i wanted so much to use a missile laucnher with an explosion at the impact
but it just doesnt work
slim sparrow
I've made explosion impacts like that, not terribly accurate since I still have to make it a world particle
obsidian vigil
hmm
alright
but i know that theres a script you can use for collision sounds
@clear yew PhysSound
"PhysSound is a system for playing audio based on physics interactions between objects, greatly increasing the realism (and satisfaction) of Unity's physics."
is what it says on the wiki
not sure if thats up to date
and if its world only
slim sparrow
It would have to he whitelisted
obsidian vigil
according to that it is
slim sparrow
Even worlds can't just use any script
slim sparrow
I've seen the avatar component whitelist, I'm pretty sure that this one is not a part of that
Probably good for worlds then
obsidian vigil
dammit
clear yew
also it's a paid bullshit
obsidian vigil
what im trying to do is an orbital beam synchronized to this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3cE9iXIx9c
and i want to shoot a particle that basically determines where it goes
clear yew
the orbital beam source will stay in place right ?
obsidian vigil
i mean, i wanted to put it on the particle so it appears where it collides
clear yew
if you find out how, please tell me
obsidian vigil
will do
clear yew
i only used empty game object with a fixed joint and put them roughly where the sound is supposed to be
that's the closest i managed to get
obsidian vigil
thats a good idea tho
could you maybe fix a joint to a particle?
to the subsystem
clear yew
i don't think you can
like, every sound parented to a game object wont work
at least from what i tested
obsidian vigil
wait what
like if its parented under a particle system?
cuz when i set my stuff up yesterday i had the sound source parented to my main beam and it played just fine
clear yew
yeah
but you need to play the sound
from the impact
particle won't work
but if you manage to spawn a game object with a fixed joint
exactly where the point of impact is
then it will work
obsidian vigil
well... if the particle dies, do objects attached to it reset to the origin point
or do they stay at the end
clear yew
you mean put a game object under a sub emitter that spawn at impact ?
obsidian vigil
i mean, if that works yeah
but i thought about what happens when the particle dies and it has stuff attached, does the stuff remain at the origin or end point
obsidian vigil
alright, ill mess with that when i get my hands on the project later today ^^
if i find sth out ill report back
clear yew
try to spawn a 3d cube with the sub emitter at the point of impact
if you manage to do that then you can put sounds at the impact
slim sparrow
Spawning a cube at point of impact
Like, the sub emitter is a particle system that is spawned at the point of trigger. See if you can get child objects to spawn there
The answer is probably no. Even if the child object is a particle system in itself
Like, a sub-emitter cannot be a particle system that contains particle systems of its own that automatically activate, otherwise they will all activate at the original particle system's position
clear yew
what i wanted to try was to shoot a simple bullet, and at the point of impact it will create 2 things
first is a simple sub emitter particle and second is a 3D cube, parented to that sub emitter
obsidian vigil
well, the only thing i need to know is if i can make an empty object move with my particle
then ill slap everything in there and manually animate the stuff
clear yew
no, it will be stuck at origin point normally, if it spawn while being parented to it
slim sparrow
Yeah, you would have to detect collision on that somehow
It would work if you could do that, then you could enable a particle system and a sound source on collision. But it doesn't work like that
obsidian vigil
i need playmaker

theres so much cool stuff you can do

I wanna talk to NPCs, I don't know why since there are actually people around, but NPCs are alluring

@obsidian vigil did you want particles that drag or something like a flamethrower?
obsidian vigil
i can doodle it real quick
1 sec
@undone glade https://imgur.com/a/KkwsJr8
and where it dies the laser appears and the sound plays
basically
or rather where it collides
undone glade
Hmm.. I know if this is fired at the hand you will need to set a rigid body onto your wrist and a game object with the fixed joint component on the root of your avatar that will hold any particle effects, making sure that the fixed joint is attached to the bone with the rigidbody.
obsidian vigil
yup, i did that
undone glade
Gravity and constraints off?
obsidian vigil
yeah, thing is i wanted to put a sound source on the particle i shoot
obsidian vigil
unfortunately
i think im just gonna have the soundsource on the empty object and hope it works
undone glade
Maybe
Otherwise it may be annoying to people around you, but I'd say to have the audio source cover the range of the particle effect maybe if all else fails.
obsidian vigil
i mean
its not some kind of memey earrape song
or really loud noises
its this song
which shouldnt be too annoying unless you completely hate dubstep
undone glade
Then that may be your best bet
Because I doubt you'll be trying to hit people from across the map
obsidian vigil
that would be kinda cool tho xD
may redo it with soundsource to do that if it ever is possible 😛
clear yew
Is it possible to place objects in the world that others can collide with, which are non-local?
slim sparrow
Yes, but you'll have to make them particles
Oh, and the collision is one-way. Particles can't push players around or anything
Other than that, there is no way @clear yew
thick crypt
Hey, for an animation, do you need to make a clone of the model, or are you ok to just use the animation on the current model?
blissful frigate
Create the animation on a clone
slim sparrow
You should absolutely create all your animations on a clone. This also goes for animating child objects on your avatar
Otherwise the pose might mess itself up permanently as soon as you hit edit/play
Plus, this gives you the ability to mess up without breaking anything
clear yew
delete it and drop a new version of it
slim sparrow
Wait
You might actually want to rename the old one, then drop a new one in. Then you can copy the old VRC_Avatar Descriptor component
Since setting all the blend shapes for lipsync again is a heinous task
thick crypt
That and I put dymanic bones in there as well...
slim sparrow
What happens when you remove the Animator component on the old avatar?
thick crypt
...?
slim sparrow
You can re-add it if you wish
In your scene, there's your avatar that's stuck halfway in the floor. Click on that, then delete the animator component
In the right toolbar
Or maybe unset the animation controller
thick crypt
Deleted the animator component, nothing happened.
Lemme try unsetting the animation controller
Nothing...
slim sparrow
Then you'll have to drop in a new one
Don't delete the old one just yet, you can copy over the VRC Avatar Descriptor component, and all the dynamic bones too.
But rename it so you don't get name conflicts
thick crypt
Rename the second one I drop in?
slim sparrow
Rename the first one, then drop a new one in
You'll delete the old one anyway once you copied it all over
slim sparrow
You probably don't want to do that. Duplicating an avatar is literally 3 seconds of work. You should always duplicate the one you're actively using at that moment.
Just CTRL+D it every time you want to make a new animation
thick crypt
True.
slim sparrow
Also, disable the original avatar while you're animating the duplicate. That will prevent you from accidentally messing up the original, and you'll be able to see the duplicate more clearly.
torn pawn
you dont need to duplicate for every new animation
need to duplicate only when u add new stuff onto main
slim sparrow
I guess so. I just duplicate again since it's easy and I'm forgetful
Only irritating thing is having to remove the Dupe animation controllers all the time
But that's only once per animation
torn pawn
yea, having like 5 anims on one can get annoying
switching from one to other, then having the wrong one selected
i can see that
boreal trellis
are there problems with gestures when i create blinking in unity as animation?
will it glitch gesture and still blink?
slim sparrow
If you use the automatic blinking (such as the one provided by CATS eye tracking creation), it will look a little glitchy
But most people won't notice
If you want to fix that, you'll have to create eye tracking again in CATS, but disable blinking. @boreal trellis
Then you have to make your own blinking animation, mark it as legacy, then add it to an Animation component. Not too difficult. Then in your gestures, you can disable this component to pause the blinking.
boreal trellis
oof, i know how to do stuff in unity, just always skipped blinking and used cats
slim sparrow
Yeah, it's not too difficult
boreal trellis
so it wont blink when i use gesture?
slim sparrow
If you disable the animation component within the gesture, it will stop the animation and thus the blinking too
clear yew
you sure about that ?
slim sparrow
Yeah, how else would it work?
clear yew
last time i tried that some months ago it didnt work
slim sparrow
That's how most people do it, I wouldn't know what other methods you even could use.
Forcing the blink shape keys to 0 doesn't work since that just breaks blinking altogether
clear yew
put the blinking to 0 when you use a hand gesture
slim sparrow
You can't do that
At least, not without breaking blink completely last time I tried it
Same goes with the lipsync shape keys. If you force those to 0 inside a gesture, it just makes them not work at all anymore.

ok guys, in this video https://youtu.be/6-vXe-T-vRY?t=5m44s , you see woops goes into animation but take one sec and appear with the capes
any ideas how to ?

It's one of those weird package things
There are ways to toggle stuff on emote, it's a rather old package
Hang on
Search for "toggle props" in #development-advanced
languid pier
aight !
lunar pasture
just think about your gestures as switches, not the whole animation, you essentially have to animate the active status of a game object that does the funky stuff
languid lantern
Silly question, but is it possible to set up an animation that essentially makes your avatar invisible or remove the model temporarily? I'm eyeballing this SCP 173 model I just came across and would like to try to set it up to disappear then reappear behind people.
slim sparrow
Yes
In the gesture's animation, disable your Skinned Mesh Renderer component.
Be careful, sometimes I have had issues where it wouldn't re-enable for other people, only myself. If that happens, you need to use a stencil to hide your model
languid lantern
Ah, alright, thank you very much
woven surge
Someone knows how can I change a material from my avatar to another on an animation?

Hit record mode and change the material in the scene explorer

Okay, thank you very much!
high summit
Any guides on how to attach a bow string to your avatars hand in unity? I've seen it done before but I've got no idea where to start
slim sparrow
I'd say the best way is to have the bow string with bones so you can pull it out in pose mode in Blender
Then put a Fixed Joint between the hand and the string. Activate this joint on a gesture and you'll be able to actually pull the string
high summit
Gotcha. I'll try that, thank you
slim sparrow
Another option is shape keys. Probably more reliable
Just make a shape key where the string is drawn back. It won't automatically follow your hand that way though. But if you put it on fist, I think you can regulate how far back the string goes
On Oculus at least, not sure if Fist is analog on Vive too
solar relic
@slim sparrow question about fixed joint. How can I have an object stay at one place? Mesh particle... Im confused.

night crescent
Yeah, just uncheck the object while you're "recording"

I created an animation for my gun to move the slide in and out. How would I go about making an animation play that animation. Toggling the animation doesn't make it play
I don't want the animation to play all the time, only when I fire.

obsidian vigil
Well, yesterday i discovered something... ill probably need someone i can test this with but, my emote was longer than 30 seconds so the music just kept playing even after vrchat cut it off
which may mean that we can keep stuff after an emote is over
clear yew
your model can't be longer than 30 sec
if you use a game object and parent another model to it then you can get over the 30 seconds limit normally
obsidian vigil
yeah but the interesting thing is that the music kept playing after my emote was done
if i can somehow get as an example clothing to appea and stay in a similar way that would be neat
clear yew
i think that's just using the toggle prop thing
clear yew
yes

that's how woops got his camera and cape staying for exemple

not at all but there are some questions that are frequently asked and then you have the "wave" questions
for exemple, when the cameras bullshit happened, everyone for almost 2 weeks asked how to get working cameras and now nobody cares anymore

Isn’t their a night vision shader in the unity store which works in a similar way?
clear yew
oh i have a shader like that but keeping it for myself 👌
you can try to make your own, it's pretty easy, look for grabpass stuff 👀
obsidian vigil
wait
Just GrabPass { } grabs the current screen contents into a texture. The texture can be accessed in further passes by _GrabTexture name. Note: this form of grab pass will do the time-consuming screen grabbing operation for each object that uses it.
is that literally it..
and then you put a texture on top of the grabbed thing
clear yew
maybe ¯_(ツ)_/¯
there is some other options to use of course
but grabpass is basically the way to go
obsidian vigil
its just that it isnt easy to get into it when nobody wants to tell you wtf youre supposed to do inside the shader

because there is a lot of different w<ys to do it
i barely know stuff about shaders

took me 2 minutes to figure it out
obsidian vigil
similar to the poly mod?
clear yew
you don't modify anything
torn pawn
cuz vrc 🤷
clear yew
just using the way that unity works
and for that frame thing you need 2 cameras
one local and one global but hidden by default
same position, same view
you use the local camera to see what you need, and when you take the picture you just show the global camera but with the actual camera disabled and it will be locked at the last frame

this worked for me too, if you move your hand really fast, it spazzes out but that's the only thing, this is beautiful for world particles
seems there is a lag between the fixed joint and the rigid bodies being transformed but it's cool

This is just an improved blackout box for people prone to seizures
The plan is to have it spawn where ever I am located and I can move out so I can or another can place down a portal.
clear yew
you will still need that reset animation tho
undone glade
alrighty, let me make sure I have this right then.
last thing I need is to upload just to find it doesn't work and then more time needs to be put in
so I have a game object with the fixed joint, and in that I have my cube.
so do I need two game objects with fixed joint or just one?
from what i'm seeing from your picture.
clear yew
rigid body for both ends, fixed joint that connects them
no need for rigid bodies
so one rigid body in armature, and one outside of armature with an empty gameobject around it
in my case
create 2 empty game object
ah k
first one should be where you want your cube to always spawn
interesting
second game object (parented to the first) should be the fixed joint
then parent whatever you want to the fixed joint
put an looped animation that reset the fixed joint rotation and position to 0,0,0
and when you use a hand gesture to spawn the fixed joint and all object parented to it, disable the animation component of the first game object

so I need to animate the 2nd game object?
clear yew
animate the first so it reset the 2nd
normal remnant
can someone link me vrc toggle pro , was told i could find it her, but i didn't see it 🤔
undone glade
so 1st empty is animated and has an animation component to keep the 2nd empty in the 0 axis, correct?

this is propably what you are looking for @normal remnant http://Shared.DJ-FPaul.de/7a2ekaq1nl.unitypackage

check the screenshot, you'll understand better
undone glade
I'm trying to, but they're both labeled the same so it's confusing me
true scroll
i should make a upload function for stuff that doesnt random name it at some point i think 😄
undone glade
that's what was getting me
undone glade
right, right
I can animated the second while it's parented to the first? wouldn't that break it?
or should I seperate them first, animate, and then join them together.
clear yew
just make a duplicate of all that stuff
undone glade
right, I'm running on fumes so bare with me
long day
Alrighty, I think I got it down. I just need to make it into an animation override.
clear yew
fixed joint is disabled by default
so everything parented it will be disabled too
you use a hand gesture to activate the fixed joint
and disable the animation component of the fixed point
undone glade
So i'm making point or joint inactive?
I would assume make joint inactive and keep point active
clear yew
point is always active
constantly reseting the position of fixed joint
fixed joint is disabled by default
activate the fixed joint with a hand gesture
and just disable the animation component of the fixed point in that same animation
so it stop reseting the position

anyone know how to do custom emotes where multiple models appear and dance alongside the main model?
ivory lagoon
how would i go about adding a small sound clip to an avatar when i change into it?
that doesn't loop
do i just put it on the avatar? do i need an animation?
silent gazelle
@ivory lagoon you can add it straight to the avatar, make sure play on awake is on and loop is off. i don't think you need an animation if you only want it to play when you change into it.

oh sweet!! thank you!
