udon-general

[mystic lynx]

but how do i get UI to do it without script?

[indigo prairie]

you dont, you do use tiny script

[coarse parrot]

You already did.

[mystic lynx]

tiny script? whats that

[indigo prairie]

k not my day i guess. can external script be directly referenced in ui button? i honestly dont remember. probly it can so nvm

[coarse parrot]

That's where the object reference slot in the event is for.

[indigo prairie]

like can i OtherCube.CustomEvent

or i can ony UdonBehaviour (this one).CustomEvent

[coarse parrot]

Can you screenshot the button like this again?

[mystic lynx]

yeah of course

[coarse parrot]

Also the Interact event doesn't do anything in your case so just remove that too.

[coarse parrot]

There is nothing in the event now.

[mystic lynx]

yeah i removed it because it wasnt working

[coarse parrot]

You have to keep the SendCustomEvent part.

[mystic lynx]

this is the event i had before

[coarse parrot]

Your event name have to matched between the graph and what you put in button UI.

[mystic lynx]

ive done it like this but its still not working

[coarse parrot]

Keep it that way. Did you also test by changing default skybox to something else not in the list your list and test the button as I asked before?

[mystic lynx]

wym?

[coarse parrot]

Manually change the skybox material to something else.

[mystic lynx]

im able to change it manually in here if thats what you mean

[coarse parrot]

Yes. And test the button again. Can it change out from the default skybox?

[mystic lynx]

it still doesnt change

[coarse parrot]

Can you screenshot the entire unity screen showing the console panel right after clicking on the button?

[coarse parrot]

You should actually take the entire screen and don't crop.

[coarse parrot]

Also select and screenshot the "Change Skybox" object again.

[coarse parrot]

From there, open the "Run Custom Event" selection and click on your custom event name.

[mystic lynx]

that worked but it doesnt work when i clicked the button in my scene

[coarse parrot]

When testing, test by clicking the Invoke button here too.

[mystic lynx]

it doesnt work through that either

[coarse parrot]

So really make sure that the custom event name is exactly match between the graph and button, double check for trailing space and such.

[mystic lynx]

they are the same ive checked

[coarse parrot]

Ok. Use Interact event instead then. Select the UdonBehaviour.Interact in the button event, and replace the custom event node in graph with Interact event node.

[mystic lynx]

what do i set the function to on the button?

[coarse parrot]

Didn't I say that?

[mystic lynx]

I’m not sure

[coarse parrot]

UdonBehaviour.Interact is what you have to select in the button event.

[mystic lynx]

i have it on that but it still doesnt work

[coarse parrot]

Mind screenshoting what you had changed?

[coarse parrot]

And the graph?

[mystic lynx]

ive made progress but now im getting this error, any ideas why?

[mystic lynx]

okay update, the button is changing the sky box now but its failing to loop, how do i fix that?

[coarse parrot]

You have to see more detail inside.

[mystic lynx]

im not getting the error anymore its just not looping

[coarse parrot]

Is the graph still the same?

[mystic lynx]

pretty much, i'll show you

[coarse parrot]

are you sure there is no more error when you click it to loop?

[mystic lynx]

yes im sure it just doesnt loop

[oblique ermine]

Does SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds send a network event or just a local custom event

the latter, right?

[mystic lynx]

im not sure what im doing wrong

[wide marsh]

What's going on with vrchat?

[keen hatch]

currently your code does this:
is "changeskybox" int greater than or equal the length of "skybox" material array?
if yes, "changeskybox" is set to 0
if no, "changeskybox" is set to itself + 1
then sets skybox to the material in the array with number "changeskybox"

if it only has 1 material in the array, your skybox will stay at 0

[coarse parrot]

For sure fire way, you should use Remainder node instead. So do Add+1, into Remainder of the array length, and use that value to set variable and get from material array.

[mystic lynx]

i did what you said but when i press the button it doesnt set nor change my skybox as shown in the video

[coarse parrot]

You should no longer need to use branch to separate set variable.

[coarse parrot]

And you missed the part where you have to use the result from Remainder to set variable and get material from array.

[mystic lynx]

its now working perfectly thank you so much

[heady fulcrum]

what is the most performant way to load primitive data off the byte array?

would it be 12 sections for blockcopy with all the primitives compacted into single extern each?

[vagrant token]

Hewwo,

Is there such thing as type checking for udon behaviors ?

Exemple

abstract class A : UdonSharpBehavior
class B
class C

public A value;

bool Test()
{
  return value is B;
}

I checked on the manual for as & is operator in the supported list and it doesn't show

I could workaround it by baking an enum in the base class to make it easier to check but I'd prefer to use these operators if they work

I guess doing a get component would also work

[prime badger]

for UdonSharpBehaviours you can do something like

public UdonSharpBehaviour udonSharpBehaviour;

bool Test()
{
    return value.GetUdonTypeName() == GetUdonTypeName<MyUdonSharpBehaviourClass>();
}

[vagrant token]

Thank you !

[prime badger]

ps. iirc the name it returns is the plain name of the class with its namespace (if applicable) prefixed to it; use that info if you need more advanced applications

[dull garden]

what is udon?

[drifting sage]

Please read the thread linked in #udon-info ! 🙂

I think I may have to put that into my clipboard.

[dull garden]

epic 👍

[wary cipher]

4th

[lavish yarrow]

lol

[last plinth]

The real question; with UDON now being a thing, how many more worlds are we gonna see that have advanced script functions backing stuff like VRChat games?

[proven silo]

alot

[lusty fjord]

It will take a while for the current VRC sdk functions (pickups/pedestals) and the new player API to become bug free before minigames will be possible

[proven silo]

like more than 2

[lusty fjord]

For now it works great making complex interactions between objects that are only local (not network synced)

[drifting sage]

The thread points this out, but yes-- a lot of "base VRChat functionality" isn't in just yet because they depend on Triggers and Actions, which... don't exist in VRCSDK3!

[strong hull]

It's early days and it's just in alpha but the plan is most definately a LOT more interesting and complex and creative interactions in VRChat including games

[rancid fox]

I plan on checking this out tomorrow after work and getting familiar with it but I would like to know, I understand it's an alpha but is everyone who's got into play with it so far really happy with it? is there any plan for major expansions, and do you think learning it now won't require people to relearn it in the future? Im excited thank you guys!

[drifting sage]

I understand it's an alpha but is everyone who's got into play with it so far really happy with it?
Our testers have been having a lot of fun and making cool stuff, so I think so, yeah!
is there any plan for major expansions
Yes, but worry about the base part first. :P
do you think learning it now won't require people to relearn it in the future?
Nah, you're good to go now. There shouldn't be any massive structural "how things work" change to Udon that I can foresee myself

[rancid fox]

Awesome! Thanks so much, im so excited.

[weak elk]

It helps to understand how c# works in unity that knowledge can be transferred to Udon

[strong hull]

I have had a ton of fun with it

click on #madewithudon or search on twitter

[drifting sage]

you don't need to know too much in-depth about c# in unity thankfully, just generally types, their member functions, and what they do is enough info

udon handles the rest

i made a 5 part video that covers the basics that's in the forum

[strong hull]

You can also share the graphs easily and people can use/remix/enhance

[balmy quartz]

eventually expected question: Is Udon for Worlds only?

[drifting sage]

@sweet glacier answering from the beta channel-- the "default", built-in method to make Udon stuff is with Node Graph. We support assembly as well, which means that you could write a compiler. There's more details in the forums, in particular this thread: https://ask.vrchat.com/t/getting-started-with-udon-assembly/84

@balmy quartz Yes, for worlds only currently.

[lethal fractal]

so.. udon made for unity 2018, but live version of vrchat is still on unity 2017. does that mean i still need to wait for vrchat unity 2018 going live to really start working? (or simply question: "vrchat unity 2018 when?")

[weak elk]

I think someone is already working on a compiler.

[drifting sage]

You can start making stuff now. It won't be available on Live until this release goes Live.

[white kelp]

I know someone that's already said he would try to write a compiler

[balmy quartz]

is there any plans for that to change, or is it worlds only for the foreseeable future?

[agile pond]

I think there are at least 2 different compilers people are working on

[drifting sage]

No "plans", but certainly whatever ranks right below plans 🙂

[balmy quartz]

so there's at least a "want" then, that's good to hear

[lethal fractal]

i mean.. i was trying to make worlds in unity 2018 without udon, but when i was trying to test it, its just wont load without beta vrchat.. so how can i even try out what i made if it wont load?

[drifting sage]

You use the Open Beta client 🤔

[white kelp]

This question might sound stupid but, can you write simple conditional expressions? In the alpha videos I've only seen OnEvent stuff

[drifting sage]

Yes, there is a "Branch" node that's a conditional if

[strong hull]

I'd def go read the getting started with udon long thread. there's a ton of imporant info in there

like "don't build your mega project just yet" this is for people to help us test out what's there and report back more than go start building a monster udon project

Cos alpha. features missing. bugz.

but we'll get bugs fixed and stuff in that's missing pretty quickly. coupla things tomorrow. rest of things in new year when team is back from winter break.

[slim hound]

Public canny for Udon?

[strong hull]

go read the getting started thread. has all the info

[scarlet lake]

have the spinning cube videos been posted? it's a good first step

[drifting sage]

its in the examples category

[scarlet lake]

https://ask.vrchat.com/t/spinning-cube-example-series/81

[hollow garden]

Watching those rn. good to know everything so far I could've figured out myself. That means I should be fine with the rest.

[drifting sage]

@slim hound They're linked in #657398370377269249 🙂

[slim hound]

Yeah I saw those

[drifting sage]

Those are public cannys 🙂 cannies? cans? 🤔

feedback boards

[jolly perch]

posts

[hollow garden]

cans

[slim hound]

They don't show in the list of canny boards until you have viewed them

[jolly perch]

oh the category

[slim hound]

but since they seem to stay its not an issue

[drifting sage]

they're listed now

[slim hound]

Unless someone just made a quick edit to make them show 🤔

[drifting sage]

yes, i did that

however, there's direct links:

• in the Discourse thread
• in the Discourse categories
• in the #657398370377269249 channel

[slim hound]

Having them directly in that list is a lot easier though.

[torpid badge]

I remember from an old Udon stream that saving data for players between world sessions was planned. Do you think we might see that while still in Alpha, or was that more of a long-term hope? Also is pulling data from the web into worlds using Udon a possibility? Keep up the great work, it's awesome to see this out!

[modern coral]

How does one use the Func output?

[dawn gate]

I wanna make a particle system emit a burst, how do I reference the particle system so UDON knows what particle system I'm talking about?

[strong hull]

@torpid badge persistence might come at some point but not right now. That'll be a longer term thing. We still have a lot of features and cool stuff to get into UDON. Also a new UI and Avatars 2.0 on the way. Also a bunch of other good stuff that will help VRChat

[scarlet lake]

the particle system is unsupported in this version, it will be added soon I heard

[dawn gate]

darn

[scarlet lake]

there is nodes for it but they don't function yet, along with a bunch of other graphics objects likes textures etc

if you are familiar with the unity api there's a lot of things you can do though

[modern coral]

Has this node been removed? Is this permanent? It was pretty useful D: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/655644906135748609/655867862698688532/unknown.png

[drifting sage]

How old is that? 🤔

[modern coral]

A week ago ^^'

[sweet glacier]

awesome thanks tupper! that information is super helpful 🙂 From what I can see the base language is based off C # correct?

[strong hull]

UDON and pieces like PlayerAPI are under construction. Things gonna be missing, or even get removed. @modern coral

[modern coral]

Understandable ^^

[strong hull]

Def leave feedback and lobby for stuff, note bugs, etc

[floral dove]

@dawn gate for now, you can use the animator to play with particles. For example, make start-emit and end-emit animations on your particle system, reference the animator in a node graph, and trigger the two animations.

[dawn gate]

sounds good to me

[scarlet lake]

How do you invert Vectors with Udon?
LIke for example; If i want to move an object backwards; I can use Vector3.forward * -1; usually, how can we do that in udon tho?

[weak elk]

Theres a node called Vector3 Get Forward

[scarlet lake]

Yea, i know, how do i invert that one though? Is there a Operator for inversion?

[weak elk]

Maybe what you're looking for?

[drifting sage]

Yeah that's what I did for my "backward" movement on my asteroids ship

[hollow garden]

I should really finish watching the intro videos before trying to make a suicidal cube

[clever olive]

Is there anyway to get players positions?

[hollow garden]

Am I doing it wrong? https://raytracing-benchmarks.are-really.cool/6ZGLh8p.png

[steel bone]

Any chance we'll be able to create complex behaviors (eg ai) in UDON?

[flint urchin]

Sure, why not?

@hollow garden you just want to destroy the gameobject?

[hollow garden]

yea

as I said above, suicidal cube

[flint urchin]

Then you just need the destroy and event

it will reference itself

[weak elk]

You can already do things like pathfinding with AINavMesh

[hollow garden]

It doesn't work just like that

[trim sapphire]

Hey, probably a simple question, but I think I'm missing something: how to I get/set a property on a component on a GameObject? I have a VideoPlayer (just a Unity VideoPlayer, not a VRC Video Sync) component that I'd like to be able to manually set the time (double) on.

[flint urchin]

@hollow garden https://i.imgur.com/7AGoN6a.png

[cunning dock]

I don't get: how udon internally works? Is it just interpreter that interprets that text udon assembly program in real time or these asm programs actually got compiled into IL/native code?

[hollow garden]

ah "this" is a thing

[flint urchin]

yeah

[weak elk]

@trim sapphire I dont think VideoPlayer nodes are exposed in Udon

[hollow garden]

works instantly. neat, thanks

[flint urchin]

VideoPlayer stuff isn't exposed yet no, but should be in a future update

[trim sapphire]

Hmmm. What about other components? If I have a reference to a component on a GameObject, how would I set properties of that component?

[weak elk]

you can use a public variable to get the GameObject or This to refer to the GameObject that the UdonBehavior is on

you can drag a GameObject into the public variable slot to perform an action like setActive(true) if left blank it will refer to itself

[hollow garden]

transform has nodes for rotate and translate, but there's only a set local scale, and so far it doesnt really seem to be working much

nvm

[cunning dock]

I can't find remainder operator in nodes list

Is it does not exist? How to do a % b ?

[drifting sage]

@cunning dock Udon consists of a nodegraph, which compiles down to UAssembly, which assembles down to bytecode, which gets run by the UdonVM.

You're looking for modulo

[cunning dock]

no modulo

[drifting sage]

Checking. It exists, just has a different name

if it doesn't exist its possible it just got missed

[cunning dock]

UdonVM? So, there is own bytecode specs? And UdonVM interprets this bytecode?

[velvet wharf]

check many alias of modulo also could not find

[drifting sage]

Ah, yeah, it seems like modulo is missing. Make a bug report on the Feedback boards #657398370377269249

[cunning dock]

I hope UdonVM not slow, when it's about interpretations it's always about performance

[fair bough]

how to fix specify date time in Udon?

[drifting sage]

I'm not sure what you're asking

[cunning dock]

I also see no entire System.Math

there is UnityEngine.Mathf, but it's only extensions

[drifting sage]

It may be missing, please submit a bug report

[cunning dock]

ok

[drifting sage]

What functions from Math are missing in Mathf

(i'm not familiar, so you'll have to help me)

[cunning dock]

A lot of. just compare https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math?view=netframework-4.8 and https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mathf.html for example see no Truncate

[drifting sage]

I see, its probably just a missed bit

make a post and it'll get added in

[cunning dock]

Can I define a function/method and call it from other udon program?

[grand temple]

yes

[weak elk]

You can use SubGraphs for internal "function calls"

I posted an example in #udon-showoff

You can also use events and program variables to pass variables to other UdonBehaviors

[cunning dock]

yea I see

how to pass arguments?

[weak elk]

you have to set variables

[cunning dock]

Using class-variables for that seems strange

[weak elk]

its subject to change

[cunning dock]

Is sub-graph inlined at compilation?

so it's more like macro, not real functions

[weak elk]

.data_start

    .export subGraphResult
    .export subGraphInput
    
    Int32_0: %SystemInt32, null
    Int32_1: %SystemInt32, null
    asset_0: %UnityEngineScriptableObject, null
    instance_0: %VRCUdonUdonBehaviour, this
    onEnterSubGraph_0: %SystemString, null
    message_0: %SystemObject, null
    subGraphResult: %SystemInt32, null
    subGraphInput: %SystemInt32, null

.data_end

.code_start

    .export onEnterSubGraph
    
    onEnterSubGraph:
    
        PUSH, subGraphInput
        PUSH, Int32_0
        COPY
        PUSH, Int32_0
        PUSH, Int32_1
        PUSH, subGraphResult
        EXTERN, "SystemInt32.__op_Addition__SystemInt32_SystemInt32__SystemInt32"
        JUMP, 0xFFFFFF
    
    .export _start
    
    _start:
    
        PUSH, instance_0
        PUSH, onEnterSubGraph_0
        EXTERN, "VRCUdonCommonInterfacesIUdonEventReceiver.__SendCustomEvent__SystemString__SystemVoid"
        PUSH, subGraphResult
        PUSH, message_0
        COPY
        PUSH, message_0
        EXTERN, "UnityEngineDebug.__Log__SystemObject__SystemVoid"
        JUMP, 0xFFFFFF
    

.code_end

This was the compiled example

[cunning dock]

Intresting for experiments

It's seems it's possible to make something like recursion

[hybrid canyon]

out of curiosity would making something similar to like the camping from Pokemon sword and shield as far as playing with AI pets be doable

[weak elk]

sure

someone was making a cooking game

[hybrid canyon]

good to know as I'm interested in petting virtual doggies in VR

now I just need to figure out how the heck I would do that as I don't have much experience with npc's

[granite basalt]

How comparable is UDON to the node system of unreal engine?

[finite shale]

Kismet's one of their inspirations, apparently

[cunning dock]

Is there's a way to get plyer's humanoid bones transform? I see there is HumanoidAvatar API available, but I see no way to access player's avatar's transforms

[faint pond]

how do i even do set toggle gameobject

im so confused looking at this right now

[amber spade]

What even is udon? lol

[midnight orchid]

Noodly goodness

[amber spade]

errrr

[midnight orchid]

Also VRChat Scripting

[amber spade]

Oh right

Scripting, my biggest fear 😛

[midnight orchid]

How come?

[amber spade]

It just looks scary and hard to understand haha

I would rather stick to Unity 😉

[midnight orchid]

Don't worry, everything looks hard when you don't know it.
Just take small steps and before you know it you got a bowl of tasty treats

[amber spade]

mmmm, treats 😋

[marsh tangle]

I just used a small video about C# to start understanding the basics and could create some stuff in udon, though its a bit limited to open scripting

[clever eagle]

udon...is in unity...???

its nodegraph scripting so its literally just scratch vrchat edition, youll be fine

@amber spade

[marsh tangle]

You need to understand what makes it tick though 😉

[amber spade]

Oh right

me big brain

[cunning dock]

I see there is HumanBodyBones availbale, but there is no Animator.GetBoneTransform. Is is a bug? How to get transform/gameobj of a humanoid bone?

[faint pond]

how do i make a game object toggable? i figured out how to set active atleast

[trim dock]

Is SystemConsole not supported yet?

[cunning dock]

@faint pond I believe toggle should be something like this

[slim hound]

@faint pond

[faint pond]

ill try these

[dim shard]

I have a question.
At the current version, is "On Became Invisible" Node working?
It doesn't work well at my place...

The nodes are very simple.

[slim hound]

Its likely that its not working

[tidal lava]

Anyone know of a way of getting a specific item in an array, e.g. array[5]

[faint pond]

it did not work @slim hound

use shows up ingame, but no object appears

[slim hound]

Possibly didn't compile properly

Can you change it to target a cube instead and then try

[faint pond]

i figured it out

this line did not exist

i added it and it fixed

[slim hound]

oh yeah okay

I guess sending the direct asset file isnt a good way of doing it

no nvm I just sent the wrong file

[cunning dock]

I need to be sure: this executes all given branches in order, yes?

[flint urchin]

Yes

[faint pond]

anyone figure out yet how to change the help text

[flint urchin]

@faint pond https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-feedback/p/allow-setting-interaction-text-for-objects-using-the-interact-event

[faint pond]

so not yet in

[flint urchin]

Nope

[faint pond]

rip, hopefully soon. i dislike a table of interactions with no text

[flint urchin]

Well, open alpha 🤷‍♂️

[faint pond]

yeah

[fiery yoke]

How do you pass on a Variable from one Udon Behaviour to another again?
Or more precisely: How do you Get a Variable in a Udon Behaviour, where the variable is contained in a different Udon Beaviour.

[flint urchin]

Get Program Variable

[north lintel]

Does this current version of Udon contain any sort of data persistence?
I'd also like to know if I can reference specific users

[flint urchin]

No data persistence

[north lintel]

Ah, well I'll check the Roadmap to see if it may be an upcoming feature. How about the latter question? (Also, hey Phaxe!)

[mild ingot]

can udon effect player abilities like "VRC_PlayerMods (its gone i think)" did like jump height and walk speed?

[latent swallow]

get and set program variable.

negative, no replacement for playermods atm.

[mild ingot]

urg

[latent swallow]

upvote this https://vrchat.canny.io/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-feedback/p/jump

[flint urchin]

Hey @north lintel

We’re supposed to create that ourself with Udon @latent swallow /s

[latent swallow]

ah, yes, let me just adjust gravity locally instead. sorry phaxe.

[flint urchin]

Perfect 👌

[cunning dock]

All these things with udon asm lang, compilation, possible translation, udon vm seems to be overkill that in future will bring a lot of troubles in proccess of futher development and support. @drifting sage tell pls why not just allow creators to build own .net/mono assemblies and then check it server side on upload on client side at world loading? I believe whitelisting methods call/calli/callvirt/jmp/ldftn/ldvirtftn and fields ldfld/ldflda/ldsfld/ldsflda/stfld/stsfld and may be some more "unsafe" instructions can do the same security limitations as udon have, but it would be much easier to maintain, it would provide much more features for creators out of the box. Tools like Cecil can parse and validate these assemblies very quickly. And making node-based UI for scripting with compilation into IL assembly seems not that much harder. I am so confused. I have bad feelings about this. Why? Why did it take to invent your own bicycle? With own syntax. With own instructions. With own compilation. With own interpreter. @drifting sage Why there is so many complexity around Udon? 🤨 I do not understand. @drifting sage please explain

It reminds me old russian meme "how to make trolley from bread"

[scarlet delta]

is there any way to dela wiht any vector data atm?

[fiery yoke]

@scarlet delta Depends on what youre trying to do...

[latent swallow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.html

[scarlet delta]

substract one vector from another

@fiery yoke

[scarlet delta]

wasnt showing up, i guess the categories are kinda messy atm adn the search behaves odd too

[fiery yoke]

Its a bug, reporting that right now

https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-bugs/p/weird-behaviour-with-search-function

https://i.imgur.com/EbCPglJ.gif

[scarlet delta]

vector 3 doesnt show in system in the list of data types

you'd expect it next to float etc

vector 2 isnt there either which us pretty odd tbh

[fiery yoke]

Just use the search bar :P

[scarlet delta]

yeah but i mean sometimes u just wanna explore n such, its confusing if it isnt there

any ways to do if statements btw?

[fiery yoke]

Yes one sec

[scarlet delta]

yeah but stuff like if X >= 1

im trying to avoid division by 0

[worthy beacon]

are the rigid body methods not working atm? each one i use throws an error of Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[scarlet delta]

i wonder if i can target the player

[modern coral]

@worthy beacon Where do you get the rigidbody from?

[worthy beacon]

im pulling from the instance of the object

ie not setting it and ensuring i have one on the object

[modern coral]

Then you need to GetComponent in the Start function first

[worthy beacon]

wait, i thought if you dont set it, it gets the instance from the game component

right ima finish watching all the vids then

[floral dove]

@scarlet delta - to do X >= 1, drop in a Float Greater Than or Equal to node, and feed it your float variable and a constant float with '1' in it. Then feed the output from than comparator into the boolean input of the branch - then you can trigger something to happen only if X >= 1.

[scarlet delta]

to explain what i am doing, i am trying to make gravity manipulations

[native fern]

will there be context sensitive node selection when you drag from a node? 🤔

[scarlet delta]

i wonder how i do access the player transform and rigidbody tho. I assume the player api works but idk

[viscid reef]

i'm only getting the first number out to log, am i misunderstanding how the for loop here works or is there an issue with it? https://nyanpa.su/i/WjT8170o.png

[floral dove]

@viscid reef that looks pretty good to me. Here's an example of how I got it working: https://ask.vrchat.com/t/simple-for-block-example/179

[native fern]

maybe like this @scarlet delta

[floral dove]

deeper examples of for loops here: https://ask.vrchat.com/t/how-to-loop-over-an-array-and-access-array-elements/192/2

[scarlet delta]

i set it like this atm

[native fern]

does it work?

[scarlet delta]

i have no idea yet,

for one i am not rotating players yet. and i dont know how to test it proper, what was the console ingame again

[viscid reef]

yeah for some reason i'm only getting the first index in the for loop

[native fern]

I'll try mine, maybe it rotates me xD

[viscid reef]

gonna start a clean graph i have other unconnected nodes might be that

yeah that was it

[native fern]

mine didn't spin me lol

is there a way to log stuff while running VRChat?

[viscid reef]

vrchat has an output log but i'm not sure how much udon stuff gets logged, have to check

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat

[fiery yoke]

Im trying to set the Transform of another gameObject (reference set to CapsuleRotation) however it sets the transform of the GameObject the Udon Behaviour is on. Am I missing something???

[scarlet delta]

that should do it but idk how to set the update right

some order. mb that works out now if that actually targets the player

if it works that will be locked to a single spherical surface unless i include distance somehow

[fiery yoke]

PlayerAPI is (AFAIK) currently "not fully functioning". I tried to get the Local Player API and then get the Transform, but none of my attempts worked. So good luck to you

[scarlet delta]

darn

[fiery yoke]

If you find a way let me know.

[scarlet delta]

mb we can get players by layer

get owner should work to target at least one person

ah

[native fern]

is there a way to check if an object is valid? I tried equals null but that fails

[scarlet delta]

vrc3->networking->local player

[fiery yoke]

Yeah thats what I was doing.

[scarlet delta]

like this?

[fiery yoke]

Yeah without all of that added stuff, but thats what I did

[scarlet delta]

mb via tracking data then?

[fiery yoke]

Try it

I mean maybe it works for you

[scarlet delta]

i cant go into vrc rn tho

trakcing data has positin and rotation set and get

[acoustic delta]

What is the easiest way to generate a const 0? Right now I have an int addition node with no inputs and 0+0

[floral dove]

@acoustic delta you can make a int const set to 0

[acoustic delta]

Ah true, thanks

[floral dove]

it was a little hard to find before, but type int and scroll, it should be in there

[acoustic delta]

I'm trying to make a box move in a circle, but printing out the vector it is always [0, 0, 0], so doesn't seem like the Vector3Set is working as I think it would...

Input is delta time * 120

[scarlet delta]

@fiery yoke if u got time try 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

[fiery yoke]

Ehh... what?

[scarlet delta]

u can copy paste node data

mark this all and paste it into the program graph

[fiery yoke]

I just switched back from Udon to live sorry

[scarlet delta]

awwwww

[flint urchin]

Please use code blocks 😮

[scarlet delta]

dont remember how they work since they changed recently

[acoustic delta]

Feels a bit un-Udon for "Vector3 Set" to not return anything, but I guess that is a Unity thing rather than something VRC has decided

They changed? Doing ``` still works

[flint urchin]

Yeah, always been that

[scarlet delta]

german keyboards can only type em im pairs so its really annoying to use

[flint urchin]

Mine also do pairs, so it's just a backspace

[scarlet delta]

pretty annoying tho, right?

[flint urchin]

Not really bothered by it anymore

[acoustic delta]

You can do single if you do one and then press space

[scarlet delta]

ye

[worthy beacon]

@modern coral watched more of the tutorial vids, trying to add the GetComponent to start, but Rigidbody.getComponent doesnt let met set it to start, it doesnt have the input for it

[hazy galleon]

it sucks how this stuff is launched literally the day I go away from my computer, but how does reuse work in udon? is it possible to package up a bunch of stuff and make a new kind of node?

[scarlet lake]

GameObject.destroy doesnt seem to work for me :<

[acoustic delta]

@hazy galleon AFAIK SubGraph, but haven't experimented with it yet.

[modern coral]

@worthy beacon Use GameObject.GetComponent instead and then use a Rigidbody type value as the input, you then set the result in your rigidbody variable

[acoustic delta]

Found this on the forum, isn't this just x - x? Looks like it would always generate 0...

[native fern]

yep

[granite basalt]

That is definitely that

[fast horizon]

Was trying for something simple, a bool changing a gameobject's state, but it doesn't seem to be toggleable (sets active/inactive fine) but i change toggle it in the inspector to try to visualize the change.

I don't necessarily want to actually invert the state here, just actually visualize the change-- can you actually change values in the inspector to get changes in play mode?

Could i do something as simple as this? though i have the same problem? I do get the initial change, but it doesn't continue to update after this.

[flint urchin]

Values edited in play mode via the inspector don't work atm afaik

[fast horizon]

Thanks-- if that's the case that makes sense why nothing i'm doing is working XD

sure enough, works now. Thanks-- iwas trying to toggle inside inspector

[faint pond]

does any know how we go about avatar pedestals

[vivid depot]

Is there a list of events and functions available on Udon?

[raven peak]

there is probably too much to make a proper list but look at unitys documentation. probably the closest at the moment.

[stuck mountain]

What is the intended way to communicate between Udon and standard assets?

I noticed that there don't appear to be any nodes for standard assets scripts

proxying events via UI widgets feels janky (somehow feels even worse than doing it with triggers, because everything else is so much nicer)

[serene moat]

use an animator to set properties using animation parameters I guess. It'd be nice to have the standard assets scripts exposed

[severe dirge]

@acoustic delta variable name selection changes when copy&paste noodle. it seems a bug. https://vrchat.canny.io/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-feedback/p/copy-and-past-variable-reference-defaults-for-first-option

[stuck mountain]

the problem with that is it's not synchronous and will wait until the next frame (we couldn't find a Animator.Update)

[acoustic delta]

@severe dirge Thanks

[cunning mist]

So with PlayerMods no longer a thing, how is jumping generally being managed?

[serene moat]

Imagine not having Animator Update. You should make a canny about that function being missing since it seems like it'd be an obvious function to include.

I assume player mods just hasn't been re-implemented in the new SDK

and that it will be added at a later date

[cunning mist]

Aightyo

Would there be any way to impliment your own system for jumping? Is there a way to reference the player momentum? I seem to recall the Mario Galaxy person having a velocity checker, though that could have simply followed them around.

[serene moat]

there was a function to get the player velocity and set the player velocity so I assume that's what that did. I don't see it in the function list any more though

[raven peak]

@stuck mountain last i heard they were planning to remove standard assets as udon would replace them.

[stuck mountain]

So the thing I'm mostly worried about is performance

[vivid prairie]

am i a dumbass or is IsValid only available for avatars

[rotund needle]

I don't suppose there is some kind of print-string node for testing, is there?

[serene moat]

Debug.Log

[rotund needle]

Perfect, thanks

[ripe frost]

How is Udon release going to affect previous projects? Are all previous worlds and triggers porting into the new system?

Or do all we have to do is convert the project into Unity2018

[flint urchin]

They will function as they are now. Nothing changes

Just don't update to SDK3

[hybrid canyon]

you just can't mix udon and triggers in the same project

[ripe frost]

We have options to choose between the previous sdk and the new one?

When it officially rolls out?

[quartz goblet]

For previous worlds made with the old sdk, yea
You'd have to recreate it in udon again if you want to use the new features, or you can keep it in an old project if you don't wanna add anything udon related

[sturdy badge]

Hey guys, anyone know the best way of getting the forward direction of an object?

This seems to give me some really strange results...

[flint urchin]

What you mean strange results? Forward will always be forward for the object.

[stuck mountain]

Is the object inside another transform? You might be confusing local space with world space

[quartz oasis]

Anybody know if it's possible to grab the player's Transform? I might be over-complicating things but I can't seem to find a way.

[sturdy badge]

Yeah, get transform toxi and na I was just being stupud Lyuma

trying to convert what takes me 5 seconds in C# into visual scripting is just taking some time to get used to

@quartz oasis

Oh, I just realised you asked for the player specifically... You can save a reference to the player object but I am still testing on how to get a specific players reference...

[quartz oasis]

Yeah, can't seem to actually get the transform that way.

[sturdy badge]

So far I have only found this...

[flint urchin]

Player API is not feature complete and is lacking a lot of requested stuff (many we won't get access to)

[sturdy badge]

But my question is... what player is that grabbing? The world host? The client running it?

Oh i see

[flint urchin]

You can get owner of a object and get the player api from that. That will be the remote player info

Then there is the local player api that has yours

[sturdy badge]

How would one say... get the player object of a player interacting with an object? I know there is an event called "Interact" but it has no params

Was expecting an object of some kind referencing the player that interacted with it

[quartz oasis]

I would assume that Interact > Get Local Player would do it, right? Unless interact triggers for all.

[sturdy badge]

not a bad shout actually... Lets hope it doesn't trigger for all 😐

[wind turret]

There used to be a function called VrcPlayerApi.GetTrackingData that would get you the player's tracking data. It's gone now?

[quartz oasis]

Yeah I was looking into that. There seems to be some semblance of tracking data but no idea how to utilize it.

[flint urchin]

Think that's moved in the TrackingData category

[mighty forge]

Any documentation on making list/arrey? I know how to do it in #c... But udon seems more complicated

[flint urchin]

Can't do list. Array is just any const/var with []

[proud snow]

So with Udon, what can I use to randomize an output?

[quartz oasis]

Depends on context, but Random.Range will get you a random number, which you can surely utilize in a lot of places.

[proud snow]

That's good, the randomize trigger gave me problems from the previous sdk

[sturdy badge]

[mighty forge]

Can we search tags? Or a way to fill the array manually? I stead of searching for names and values? Using search in the node box doesn't get you all results for the word.

[sturdy badge]

you have to be specific and know what you are searching for is what I have discovered, not everything is named the same as you would expect. Such as branch not being "if"
On top of that, some words are joined and some have spaces

[flint urchin]

You have to be a bit more specific about your searches (for now)

[mighty forge]

That suck. Some stuff is called different from c#

[sturdy badge]

Because it's not C# 🤣

I feel your pain though, took me a good bit to figure out all the new terms

[mighty forge]

I know.. but stil. This isnt the first spaghetti i used to visually program. Had no issues in ue4, playmaker ect.

[sturdy badge]

This is not unreal tho... It's Udon and it's in alpha, give it time 💪

[mighty forge]

Yha

[sturdy badge]

Really struggling on how to get the player object, if anyone has any input that would be great

[quartz oasis]

Networking > Get Local Player will get local, and OnPlayerJoin seems to be another way.

[naive lodge]

Have you tried getting the player of a VRCPickup?

[mighty forge]

Will we be able to access whitelisted scripts on avatars? Like dynamic bone? Got "get component " to see the script.. but haven't gone any further.

[sturdy badge]

ohhh i could store the players in an array with player join or something O.o

I haven't tried the pickup stuff yet, wanted to see if i could get interact to work first

[mighty forge]

Hey, what does [T] stand for?? You can chose it from the drop down in couple different node types.

[sturdy badge]

I want to guess and say Type but honest no idea with out looking, on another note, I have everything working BUT the player being set 🤔

[mighty forge]

Hm.. did you do the "make owner/ get owner"? And then get transform or any other variable.

[sturdy badge]

That's what i was just wondering myself, testing this one at the moment

[mighty forge]

Api is broken for the most part atm

[sturdy badge]

Might have to think outside the box then... OH WAIT I HAVE AN IDEA

[mighty forge]

Maybe on collision? Dont know if that get the player.

[serene moat]

getting anything on a player is going to be unlikely since the player is a special untouchable entity in VRC. If anyone finds a way to access player components in Udon, it's likely to be patched before anything else.

you can get the player API for the player, but that's pretty broken at the moment

[stuck mountain]

I think I heard it mentioned that something special happens if a player collides with something

[serene moat]

also try this for ownership transfer

if the player collides with something you get null for the collider

[sturdy badge]

Collisions might not be a bad way to go, will give it a shot

[mighty forge]

Thats lame. So we cant make team game maps.. unles there will be a magic trick

[sturdy badge]

I am determined to find a way 😈

[serene moat]

if you do find a way, don't use it in public maps or talk about it otherwise it'll be part of the safety and security changes : p

[sturdy badge]

Not sure how trying to target player game objects falls under that but SURE :D

[flint urchin]

Anything player = safety and security changes /s

[sturdy badge]

[serene moat]

VRC doesn't let you touch the player hierarchy for whatever reason and provides no alternative. Whenever someone finds a way to access the hierarchy or tracked positions, it is removed real quick because they don't want people depending on legacy or undefined behavior because they are forced to depend on it to do anything they want to.

[sturdy badge]

I just want to make an object chase the player 😡 🤣

But It's fair I do understand

[serene moat]

then use player tracking

[flint urchin]

Hopefully we will get transforms exposed

[stuck mountain]

Toybox player tracker still works

[sturdy badge]

wait what...

[flint urchin]

FBT dance world.

[sturdy badge]

❓

[stuck mountain]

Like DDR would be cool

[sturdy badge]

Yeah that would be pretty sweet

[hybrid canyon]

myself I would find a Pokemon Campsite in VR to be quite cool

[sturdy badge]

So can I just use the constant tracking data? Is that the tracking data for the local player??

[fast horizon]

Person A will change variable on the Udon Behaviour (which is synced) to On.
Player B later changes it to off.
Player C joins later and will see it off.
This is correct right? The sync means that everyone changes it for everyone? There's no buffering right?

[stuck mountain]

@sturdy badge tracking data is likely a type. So a constant one is probably at 0,0,0

@fast horizon i would not expect this to be the case unless documented so

Just like with object sync, I would expect the concept of ownership: a player owns an object

[fast horizon]

How do you buffer out a message so the master picks up on the fact another player wants to make a change?

[stuck mountain]

The take ownership of action targets was a nice convenience feature in triggers. I assume in udon you would have to manually take ownership before changing somethin

[stoic pond]

oK, finally getting into udon, should i start working on a new map or wait for it to fully release?

[stuck mountain]

It's not a buffering thing: i expect that syncing works more like object sync or animation sync

@stoic pond it's in alpha:
If you understand, that means stuff can break or change substantially before final release. Your content is likely to break. That said, it is a very powerful tool. If you want something to keep working, don't use udon. But if you want to try something innovative or are ok tweaking and fixing things over time then udon might be a good option

[stoic pond]

ah alright

so can i work on a new map using the new unity and just play and test on the beta version?

without using the udon

[stuck mountain]

Yes you can choose SDK 2 (new unity, with triggers and unlikely to break) and SDK 3 (udon). Either is ok but udon is liekly to require changes in the future before final release

[fast horizon]

How to take ownership of the syncs/udon object then?

I see Networking Set Owner, would i just use that?

[scarlet lake]

you can't migrate older projects and sdk2 stuff to sdk3 without removing all vrc stuff, so be careful

if you do it will crash playmode every time

[tough berry]

can you avoid using VRCObjectSync if you sync variables instead?

or does that component need to be present for variables to be synced?

[serene moat]

yeah you can avoid object sync, though if you're trying to sync the position of something or anything you want interpolated, you will probably want to use object sync until the smoothing on the udon sync stuff is implemented

[tough berry]

just a teleport actually

this way I can use SetPositionAndRotation instead of the object sync teleport event

[haughty ruin]

Hey guys, I'm running through the "spinning cube" tutorials and I'm having some trouble getting the set/get program variable tutorial example to work. Specifically, on the Rotating Cube object, it will spin if I feed in a constant float node as the second input in to the multiplication node, but it will not work when i feed in the "get program variable" node in to it. Anyone have this issue?

[scarlet lake]

yes, if you use the program variable, don't change the name of it, it will keep using the first one and return nothing

[haughty ruin]

ahhhhh okay, I will try this

is that on both the set and get sides?

[scarlet lake]

on the get side for me

[haughty ruin]

👍

[scarlet lake]

but yeah, scrap and add those nodes again to probably fix that

[haughty ruin]

hm still doesn't seem to work

[fast horizon]

Can we like... "Get Material" from the scene descriptor without having to have another set of public variables set to the udon behaviour i wonder?

[tame matrix]

I'm also having issues with get program variable

[haughty ruin]

I see you're doing the exact same tutorial as me xD have you tried what 1001 mentioned above?

[tame matrix]

yeah no dice

[haughty ruin]

I think it's just broken

I setup a UI for debug output on both sides and it confirms that the variable is not "getting across" https://i.gyazo.com/3bbd120e36cd67402538878b50fd7c4e.png

[tame matrix]

yeah it's just printing null for me

[fast horizon]

Which output is used to change an object's material? I feel like i've tried each of the Material.Set Value / Set Name

[scarlet lake]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-bugs/p/get-program-variable-stops-working-if-you-change-the-variable-name

[haughty ruin]

It doesn't seem to work for me at all

[scarlet lake]

also drag the game component in the public (signal) slot if you haven't

[haughty ruin]

thanks, I did

I dunno, I guess I'll just leave this for another time, maybe when they fix that canny it will also fix my problem

I appreciate your help tho

[scarlet lake]

deleting nodes and making the same thing sometimes helps, restarting the editor sometimes helps

[haughty ruin]

Yeah I tried both of those things and no dice, I imagine this will probably be fixed soon ™️

[opal summit]

how do i set owner of the object?

what do i need to input as a player?

[opal summit]

Figured that out, its VRCSDK3 -> Networking -> Get LocalPlayer

[acoustic delta]

How do you get a players tracking data? Trying to get a players position, but this only returns [0,0,0]

[severe dirge]

@haughty ruin @tame matrix That video lacks a step to add variable definition of "speedProgram". I also was stuck.

[flint urchin]

@acoustic delta player api stuff is still lacking, so many things there won’t work yet

[acoustic delta]

I am getting "External function '__get_gameObject__UnityEngineGameObject' is not supported." with the "Vrcplayer Api Get Game Object" node.

Ohh thanks.

[sturdy badge]

Yeah I was beating myself up about it for ages Foorack

[scarlet lake]

Do i have to get the new sdk to use Udon?

[flint urchin]

Yes, SDK3 is required and you cannot use SDK2 with it

[scarlet lake]

is it still 2017 unity or is it now 2018?

[opaque sage]

it's only aviable in the open beta client currently that should answere the questions.

[scarlet lake]

Ah okay, so its not in the public vrchat yet.

[opaque sage]

No. You should give https://ask.vrchat.com/t/getting-started-with-udon/80 a read

[cunning dock]

how to trigger custom event? (without subgraphs)

[cunning dock]

What's wrong? Why when I change flow a bit to do some checks it is no more genetrates literally any code, just single extern and that's all

[fair bough]

....object spawn is avaiable?

[acoustic delta]

I have seen someone spawn objects on a conveyer belt so yes.

[fair bough]

....umm really? i thing it's particle.... it not but spawn obj?

how

[flint urchin]

https://i.imgur.com/Eh0kyey.png

[fair bough]

oh thanks i will try quickly

//jump to Udon bowl

[scarlet lake]

Udon only works in worlds am i correct?

[sullen fractal]

Hi, is it at all possible to create a functional web browser with Udon?

[flint urchin]

No web api.

[fast horizon]

Anything look missing? Trying to take a single material from a material [] array and apply it to all objects in a line. I was able to do this to a single cube using an udon's own material [] array , but i when i try using a Material [] from outside of the udon behavior (another Udon's list of materials) it seems it doesn't register

hm... Nvm, i got one on a separate udon graph to work by referencing the udon behaviour i'm actually selecting

[fast horizon]

Got it working entirely, but now i'll ask for i go crazy here-- any way to apply a single material across an array of objects? (without what i'm doing above)

[trail hazel]

does udon have a way to edit the text on a TextMesh (or some other alternative way of editing/showing text programmatically)

[ocean echo]

Will VRC Triggers be completely removed upon the new 2018 update?

[tame matrix]

they'll probably exist as legacy systems but probably won't have future updates/support

[fickle stirrup]

that would be both sdk2.5 with triggers and sdk3 with udon

[fickle stirrup]

what separator i should use inside string Split to separate the text by new line? 🤔

[trail hazel]

looking around it seems the answer to my question is probably 'no'

which raises the question of why there's udon bindings for editing UIText and not TextMesh or TMP

[flint urchin]

Not supported yet. Make a canny

[fast horizon]

Hm.. adding to an udon behaviour variable outside of itself-- what am i missing?

[warm rose]

Hello, I just can not understand - can I use Udon for avatars?

[idle lark]

Are there any hotkeys for zooming the graph and/or removing the udon watermark atm? Also am I correct in thinking that a 'program variable' is essentially a c# public variable, whereas a 'variable' marked as public is essentially a c# private variable that has been marked with showInInspector?

[trail hazel]

@fast horizon

you're trying to set the program variable of RoleValue (int) rather than of the behavior

[fast horizon]

I see it now.
Having Get Variable define the Instance in that last bit also doesnt' seem to set the variable +1 for me

But i see what i did wrong and i'll play around to try to get it working otherwise thanks.

Got it working, thanks.

[silent zinc]

@warm rose Udon can only be used for worlds.

[warm rose]

It is sad 😦

[silent zinc]

@idle lark Zooming hasn't be implemented yet (it's on the roadmap). "Program variable" is for variables on other udonbehaviors.

[scarlet lake]

when will udon be into the public version?

[flint urchin]

Next year.

[scarlet lake]

is there a modulo node

i cant seem to find one ' x '

[silent zinc]

@scarlet lake I don't think it is, request it on canny if it's not already there

[fast horizon]

Given an array of Iudon Behaviours, how do you define which program variable you're trying to pull from? (like, what is the text string you would use for Element 2 vs. Element 1 for example)

[flint urchin]

Same as you would get any other arrays

[silent zinc]

@fast horizon If I understand you correctly you could put it into a variable and use UdonBehavior[].Get and supply an int for which index you want

[fast horizon]

I did that initially but didn't get the output i wanted. Maybe I'm being stupid again though, like i was earlier.

Tried this initially, to get the 1: Udon Behaviour listed
that was listed, and then change its variable afterwards.

[flint urchin]

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

[pallid mango]

So what exactly IS the danger of allowing node graph udon on avatars? I always hear it explained it's too dangerous, but never what said danger is

[fast horizon]

receiver, got it thanks
I'll try that

[haughty ruin]

@severe dirge that totally fixed it, my cube is spinning, and the variable made it across! thank you! ^.^ @tame matrix if you haven't already, give naqtn's tip a shot! https://i.gyazo.com/c4b11536cb0e6fcbaca0a0fad8226776.png

[drifting sage]

UnityObject does not cast to UdonBehavior

you need to getComponent with type UdonBehavior on the output of the event receiver get function

actually, weird, that output plug isn't named right? unsure. would have to look at the UASM

[flint urchin]

Bug report 🤷‍♂️

[fast horizon]

This one does work, just not getting it from the array

I'll see where i can put get component

[flint urchin]

You do it on this https://i.imgur.com/ZiJHIrV.png

but I think it's just wrong name

Because you can't link it to a gameobject node ( @drifting sage )

[naive lodge]

Indexes start at zero unless you are trying to get individual #2

[fast horizon]

i know, i set size to 3 and put a variable in each one, trying to get #1

So was that actually a bug then? That i can't define the type i'm trying to pull out from the UdonBehaviour[]?

[sweet wolf]

Hi, how would i call a float value from a normal script within a udon graph (if that's possible)?

[scarlet lake]

How do I get udon role?

[sweet wolf]

Since .getSpectrumData isnt available i need a workaround

[flint urchin]

I will try it later @fast horizon

.getSpectrumData is there

https://i.imgur.com/z2x1BaU.png

[fast horizon]

Thanks, PhaxeNor I don't know UDON well enough to know if something should work when it doesn't.

[sweet wolf]

wait why didnt i see it

[flint urchin]

typo maybe

[sweet wolf]

ya found it, thx anyway

What is the shortcut to zoom in graph view

i just cant zoom

[flint urchin]

You can't zoom yet

Technobabel
Zooming hasn't be implemented yet (it's on the roadmap).

[sweet wolf]

ooh okay

how do i do if

i just started using udon and wanna convert my script if possible

[flint urchin]

Branch is If Else

[scarlet lake]

do i have to have open beta to use udon?

Is it also possible to create roles with udon? with different permissions?

[flint urchin]

Yes you have to use Open Beta. And roles, what you mean roles?

[scarlet lake]

like sayy

there are buttons, and someone clicks on a button that gives u a role that has special permissions. Like you can grab certain things and stuff

how does one get open beta? i use to be in the vrchat beta discord but i left that a while back because of so many pings

[flint urchin]

Read #open-beta-info

[scarlet lake]

ah im dumb

[scarlet lake]

how do i do pick up with an object with udon?

[fiery yoke]

The Pickup Script still exists...you could theoretically remake it, but that requires PlayerAPI stuff, which is currently "under construction" aka not functioning properly

[sweet wolf]

is there for loop?

[weak elk]

For and while

[sweet wolf]

ah

it kept scrolling me down without letting me get up

[sturdy elk]

@scarlet lake there no roles, you can theoretically code that yourself.... when PlayerApi will work ;p

[scarlet lake]

Okay

when u mean by code you mean script in C#?

[sturdy elk]

would be super nice to have context sensitive node creation on pins :> as UE4 user, lack of that is most annoying thing

right now

@scarlet lake no the node :p

[scarlet lake]

when this project is finished i hope to see some documentation.

what does playerAPI do?

[sturdy elk]

@scarlet lake most nodes are C# (.NET/Mono actully) bindings

from Unity APIs

[scarlet lake]

i was already terrible at scripting in C# but needing to learn them in node form is tedious ;-; but ill get use to it some time

[fast horizon]

The "Event OnEnable" doesn't work until it's been turned off and then on again, this is a bug right? Not a feature?

[sturdy elk]

You might look on UE4 blueprint tutorials, if you you understand UE4 blueprints Udon is a lot easier to understand. You also need general skill of programing, logical thinking which lot of people lacks, might be why you think you terrible at C#

[fiery yoke]

@fast horizon yeah its already reported

[fast horizon]

Just making sure, thanks.

[fiery yoke]

https://vrchat.canny.io/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-bugs/p/onenable-only-fires-the-second-time-an-object-is-enabled

[sturdy elk]

@scarlet lake i can actually tell you this, i know a lot of artists that use UE4 and never touch any form of coding, but manage to learn how to program in blueprints (which is similar to Udon), so by that i believe anyone will able to learn Udon once it wont have major annoyances that it has right now and become as much as intuitive.

[scarlet lake]

i know how to make shaders in node form so ill figure it out

[hollow light]

is there anyway to create methods with parameters and a return type?

[silent zinc]

@hollow light Not at the moment

[hollow light]

is it a planned feature?

[silent zinc]

Not 100% sure (I'm not on the Udon team) but I know subgraphs will be getting more / better functionality that they could serve similar purposes. Add it to the canny if it's not there.

[hollow light]

alright it definitely should be supported, copy pasting the same set of nodes over and over again sucks.

[silent zinc]

Well subgraphs are the solution to that, have you tried them?

[hollow light]

can i pass variables into them and get a variable as a return?

[silent zinc]

You can pass variables back and forth but it's not implemented very well atm, that's what I meant about them being improved.

[hollow light]

aha okey i'll test if subgraphs work for what i'm trying to do

[wise bay]

hi guys 👋 is there a reference doc where i can search for nodes by their display name in the graph? trying to figure out what "Ctor" is

[silent zinc]

@hollow light https://ask.vrchat.com/t/subgraphs-nested-graphs/214

[hollow light]

oh thank you

[silent zinc]

@wise bay No reference doc yet, "Ctor" usually stands for Constructor

[snow orbit]

is it possible to soome in and out of the graph? if so i couldnt figgure it out

[wise bay]

got it, thank you!

[silent zinc]

Vector3.constructor lets you create a new V3 with individual x,y,z inputs for example

@snow orbit Zooms not implemented yet, it's on the roadmap though

[snow orbit]

ok good

also when you hit space it opens up the noder search in the right corner this is kinda anoying

[wise bay]

@silent zinc was looking through this flow https://ask.vrchat.com/t/how-to-loop-over-an-array-and-access-array-elements/192/2 looks like it is constructing an array of a certain size given an int?

ctor outputting an empty array?

[silent zinc]

That's an array variable with 8 slots

If you make it public you can drop in objects from your scene in the inspector

[wise bay]

very neat, thanks for expanding upon it!

i dont see how it is 8 slots though, with arraysize set to 2

[snow orbit]

where do you mean arraysize set to 2

[silent zinc]

I don't see where arraysize is set to 2? I was just referencing the thumbnail on that link where it says size=8

[wise bay]

shoot sorry it looks like it didnt actually link the image i was talking about

[snow orbit]

well in this case the array has a size of 2

[silent zinc]

You can't set floatArray to be a different size, it's set at 1 in the node and can't be changed (it's not a list which has variable size)

[wise bay]

okay, this was an example posted by Merlin in the original link i shared. was just trying to understand the function of Ctor

[silent zinc]

Oh okay, note that I'm not a strong programmer so someone feel free to contradict me. I'm just trying to help w the easier questions haha.

[wise bay]

thats okay 😄 i think we are all learning here

appreciate you nonetheless!

i still cant find how to place a ctor node in the graph tho lol

there are so many different constructors

[silent zinc]

You want a float array constructor?

[wise bay]

thats what it looks like yes

[silent zinc]

You can go to system - float - float[] - Constructor

[snow orbit]

hmmm ctor apparently means constructor

[wise bay]

bingo, looks like that was it. thanks fellas 😄

one more quick, hopefully not too dumb question for now.. "Body" output determines the main program flow? kind of like bang in max?

[silent zinc]

Not sure what you mean by "Body" but the noodles from the triangles is for determining flow

[wise bay]

got it, very neat. i am but a sponge rn

thx again.

[silent zinc]

👍

[wise bay]

oh i think @snow orbit asked if there was a way to zoom? id be interested to know about that as well

[silent zinc]

@wise bay It's not implemented yet, but on the roadmap

[wise bay]

okay will work around it, thank you!

[fast horizon]

XD
I've seen the zooming question like 50 times already and everyone is so nice and diligent about letting each person know it's in the works.

[silent zinc]

Yeah i've spent hours working in Udon, I know how much it's needed

[snow orbit]

thinking about adding it on my own

[fiery yoke]

Have fun looking through the hundreds of lines on the Udon GUI :^)

I actually tried to disable the auto-compile as I suspect it to cause some problems and I got lost in code

Id also like to disable the "space to search" function, because I use shift+space to maximize the Udon Graph Window and it always opens the Search Bar 😠

[flint urchin]

Easy to find and do

[fiery yoke]

Im happy to learn

[snow orbit]

well the hacky way to disable outocompile is just setting the autocompile timer to a insane high number

[fiery yoke]

Wait is there an options menu?

[snow orbit]

well in the code there is a global variable for that

i will quickly check if this value realy does what i think it does be right back

yep it does

take a look at the UdonEditorManager the value is REFRESH_QUEUE_WAIT_PERIOD

if you set this to like dont know 100000 or so it will probably not bother you anymore

or you can search this value and stomble accros the update function and just disable it there completely

@fiery yoke managed to do it?

[fiery yoke]

Yeah I found it

However it still counts down so it will just count down forever now xD

Im more interested in disabling the "space to search" function @flint urchin You said you know how to disable that?

[snow orbit]

well just do strg + f and search for the variable where its used and then disable it there

hmmm about spacebar would need to dig a bit more

[fiery yoke]

This to disable the UDON-Logo :^)

in UdonGraphGUI*

[snow orbit]

this works too^^

i just replaced the old file with my own one^^

[fiery yoke]

Still dont know how to disable the search function

I think I know how to do it

It works but Im getting console errors lol

[snow orbit]

not too good if you are getting errors this could lead to potential problems

[fiery yoke]

I dont think so. Its just "Invalid Editor Window"

Editor errors usually dont cause problems

Also....lul

[snow orbit]

is this a comentarry you stombled accros?

[fiery yoke]

Yeah :P

[snow orbit]

XD

kinda reminded mit of the one comentarry i fould where it sayd this function is useless i know botut trust me you dont wanna delete it cause the programm aparently doesnt like that

[fiery yoke]

Ohh btw Im getting the same Console Errors with the unmodified code lol

[snow orbit]

oh F

[fiery yoke]

There that disables the "space to search" function

[snow orbit]

neat but i dont realy care about the space bar

[fiery yoke]

Its really neat to have shift+space to maximize the Graph

[snow orbit]

the thing that triggers me the most is that you just cant scroll out

[fiery yoke]

Well yeah thats why I maximize the window

[snow orbit]

i just have a second display for that

[fiery yoke]

It doesnt help much but its better than nothing

[flint urchin]

Do keep the goodState in there

[fiery yoke]

Ohh lol I overlooked that

Well it still gives me errors (actually more than before)

[opal summit]

is this possible to make 2 events do same action without duplicating all the nodes?

[acoustic delta]

@opal summit Only thing I can think of is making a custom event, which both events trigger and your code then listens for... Or you define your code in a subgraph, which then is less messy to duplicate.

[opal summit]

I think custom event will work fine for me, thanks

[opal summit]

I'm trying to show name of the person who clicked the cube above cube,
for some reason On Ownership Transferred never executes for me 🤔
and the text shows world master name...
I assume Set Owner doesn't work for me, but don't know why...
What am I doing wrong?

[fair bough]

How to use PlayerAPI Look Ray?

[acoustic delta]

External module 'VRCSDKBaseBRCPlayerApiTrackingData' is not supported.
Latest release, SDK3 and UDON, when trying to use the newly added "Get Tracking Data" node.

[flint urchin]

https://discordapp.com/channels/189511567539306508/657394610913411084/658179993959923712

Mentioned there

[acoustic delta]

@flint urchin Thank you, catched up to chat history when I woke up but must missed that message.

[cunning sable]

anyone know why the false branch seems to always make the affected objects transform set back to 0,0,0? true branch works fine tho

[flint urchin]

Might not be compiled properly, try press the manual button

If not re-add the vector3 node

[cunning sable]

none of that seemed to help. from what little assembly knowledge i do have, the compiled assembly looks to be as it should

[flint urchin]

Try recreate it in a new node, if it happens there too then bug report it. With repo steps

[main wagon]

Trying to work with the UAssembly but jump just takes an arbitrary number? I would have imagined it would take a label name like in most other assembly languages. The documentation doesn't indicate the size of instructions, and jumping to fixed addresses seems like your assembly would break if you have to modify code before any existing jump statements

[fickle stirrup]

what is eventData? EventSystem? how to get?

[stuck mountain]

You would need SendOnSubmit or SendMessage("SendOnSubmit") . Those aren't whitelisted at the moment for some reason

I think the easiest is toggle boxes I believe: set isOn to opposite of isOn to toggle it. In the toggle box we can call SendOnSubmit on the input field

I'm sure this situation will be improved but it's just what we have right now I think.

Button.Press being missing has a canny but no canny for InputField.SendOnSubmit

Any reason not to do InputField.get text? And then do it in udon? @fickle stirrup

[naive lodge]

isOn should be readonly based on naming convention

[vast sierra]

will the VRCPlayerAPI.getGameObject node come back in a future SDK release?

[ashen sinew]

Ahm, is there any documentation on udon? If not, can someone tell me how the instantiate thing works? basically i want to spawn a new object everytime i press a button

[drifting sage]

@vast sierra No. The VRChat player game object is something VRChat keeps to itself. In clearer words of one of the Udon developers a few nights ago, "No, that object is ours, you can't have it" 😛

As noted in the thread linked in #udon-info , it is expected that some nodes get removed (or added) over the course of the alpha as these kinds of decisions are made.

@ashen sinew Wire an "Interact" event node to a "VRChat Instantiate" node, provide the original object, and that will instantiate on interact with the button.

[vast sierra]

okay thanks @drifting sage

[drifting sage]

I have my own question-- is it possible to iterate through the list of players present right now? I haven't played with PlayerAPI much yet

[ashen sinew]

hmm, i've got that part already, what i don't get is what exits from it

[acoustic delta]

@drifting sage There is a node for it in the list, although I haven't tested if it works yet.

[stuck mountain]

List.. oof

[drifting sage]

yeah I found that I just can't find any list iteration capability

might just not be in yet

@ashen sinew That dumps out a gameobject reference

[stuck mountain]

Yea canny for data structures

[ashen sinew]

hmm ok, arigathanks

[stuck mountain]

@drifting sage you can do on player join, keep an array index into a playerapi array, and on join add 1 to index and set the array based on joined player index

[naive lodge]

Couldn't find any iterators either. Though you could create an array by bringing players into the stack individually, then running an iterator over that. Only uasm though

[stuck mountain]

On leave scan for the player that left to find the index, and add it a free list of array elements maybe?

Since no data structures yet you have to build your own

[naive lodge]

If there are nodes for interacting with the stack the graph could do it, but I haven't looked into nodes much.

[drifting sage]

ah yeah that makes sense

i'm playing around with the idea of a heatmap and heatmap shader where i feed a material an array of vec3s

then overlay it on top of a camera image taken at script start

update every 5 seconds-- then you get a world heatmap of where people are

[naive lodge]

just keep in mind the arithmetic budget isn't very large with the current uasm (let me just plug this canny here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-feedback/p/arithmetic-and-logic-udonvm-ops

[drifting sage]

shrug, i'm not worried about that at the moment

just want to get it working

[naive lodge]

It sounds like that could work in the budget though, just still something to keep in mind

Only really matters when you start wanting to update your code closer to the users' framerate when you begin hitting the budget

[proud snow]

Would there be anything available to be able to propel myself. Like a lunge attack. Or like a jetpack.

Might be the jump button I am thinking of, but horizontal

[main wagon]

Elevators except sideways

[stuck mountain]

Ok so some questions:
does an udon equivalent of SpawnObject exist yet?
Is there an equivalent of sending a custom event over the network? (Ideally with some argument) or is the only way to communicate by synchronizing some value saying I sent a message

[flint urchin]

SpawnObject would be https://i.imgur.com/rEoKlrN.png

[stuck mountain]

I mean synced spawn object

SpawnObject let you choose the broadcast type: local or Always* at least using debug inspector

Vrchat instantiate is local, correct?

Something like prop spawner in udon

[flint urchin]

yeah, unless you send a networked event

but then I think it's still local per player

[stuck mountain]

What is an udon equivalent of a networked event?

[flint urchin]

https://i.imgur.com/8BQ9xEx.png

[stuck mountain]

Aha ok but no argument

[flint urchin]

Not yet no

[stuck mountain]

Ok but you can maybe build stuff with synced variables if you are clever

[flint urchin]

yeah

[stuck mountain]

Wait so I'm still stuck. How does synced work if we have no way to spawn synced udonBehavior

[acoustic delta]

You could spawn an object locally, save it to a variable and then always teleport it to a synced x/y/z

[stuck mountain]

Like let's say we want something per player

Like Each player wants their own x/y/z

[acoustic delta]

It sets udon behaviour variable text to "HELLO", it then gets that variable and the debug log prints Null.

[stuck mountain]

Does tjhe displayProgram declare a text variable of type string?

[acoustic delta]

No it doesn't, should it? Didn't look like that in the tutorial video.

[stuck mountain]

Yes it needs to declare variables if you plan to set them

By adding a "variable string" node

[acoustic delta]

Yes, that was what felt logical but couldn't see a variable declaration in the tutorial.

Thank you very much, it works now (well not, but that's another errors fault :) ).

[cerulean hare]

So i read the thread and did not read any mention of the quest. In what way udon will or will not be implimented on it

[fiery yoke]

@drifting sage to kind of answer your questions:
Collections.Generic.List.VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerAPI is missing a "ToArray()" method. With that you could iterate over the array using a For loop. So yeah currently there is no way to get all players (or even any other player)

[acoustic delta]

What kind of bug does a for loop currently suffer from?

[flint urchin]

Is there any now?

[fiery yoke]

Well there used to be a problem with iterating over a big array. @flint urchin You still have our Spectrum Test right? Can you test it with the current versions

[flint urchin]

I know, but there is no issues now after a few updates.

Big array will be slow until a better performance update comes out

[fiery yoke]

Well yeah but since absolute maximum of players in a world is 80, that should be manageable.

And even that is hard to achieve

[ashen sinew]

2 questions, first, can i convert string to int, and second, how do i zoom out?

[fiery yoke]

You cant zoom out currently.

And what do you mean String to Int?

[ashen sinew]

like this

but the other way around

[flint urchin]

https://i.imgur.com/1OfvjCF.png

System -> Convert -> {choice}

[ashen sinew]

oooo, i was using the search tool, but was failing to find this, thx

[acoustic delta]

External function '__get_Chars__SystemInt32__SystemChar' is not supported.

[tardy cloak]

what techniques can I use for moving platforms - or just moving the position of the player in general?

[hollow garden]

move an invisible box with a collider or abuse teleports

[fast horizon]

Which function to get a specific digit in a string, or integer?

[tame matrix]

[type].parse

you'd probably need to mess with the string to single out the number though

[tame matrix]

Is there a better way to "rejoin" a branch? Right now I have it so at the end of a branch it fires a custom event, and then that custom event will do whatever I need after the branch, wanna know if there's a better way

[drifting sage]

that's what I did when i needed for multiple branches to fire some common "final" event

[fallen prawn]

I want to know that how to setAvatar from avatar pedestral.
I use this method and it doesn't work.

[shadow heart]

is it possible to recursively call a custom event?

[robust garnet]

how would i get the the transform.position to round to its nearest whole number, so if i pick up a object and place it down it will auto align back to a Grid

udon is making me feel like a big dumb dumb, as a newb at coding in c# i could do it but i cant figure it out on udon lol

[hollow garden]

isnt there a round to int option?

there's also a floor to int, I wonder if you could do it every other frame while the user is still holding the object

so it moves along the grid while dragging it

[robust garnet]

ive done it with Math.round

but i dont know, maybe i have the syntax and structure wrong

[solemn juniper]

is there a way to add a delay between nodes?

[acoustic delta]

@solemn juniper There is no delay node. Only way I can think of right now is to have an update-deltatime-counter you start when wanting that delay, waiting the specified time, and then continuing triggering whatever code.

[solemn juniper]

Oh, I see. thanks!

[robust snow]

Hey guys, got a question. I found a Get Player By ID node, although is there somewhere to find the player id?

[fallen prawn]

I found 2 of them but IDK what its can do.

[robust snow]

No, get player by id
not getplayerid

[fallen prawn]

I've a question ... I made some sort of timer but When I tested in VRChat Client, my client crashed without any report.

https://pastebin.com/97X8FTfq

IDK Why.

[acoustic delta]

Crashed? No dump file?

[robust snow]

Also can someone explain to me what a "tag" is from a player?
Reference to: "Get Players With Tag" node

[fallen prawn]

@acoustic delta Yes, It closed instantly after I Interact (according to that script)

@robust snow Is Vrcplayer Api Get Player By Id is a method to target a player by ID in playerID so you have to get player ID by other node right?

[robust snow]

I can get a player ID from example on player joined -> get player id

[idle lark]

Is there a way to branch on a null check of an object, like having an audio source be optional?

[mighty quiver]

soo, does UDON only work in 2018.4.14f1 or can i use 2018.4.13f1 too?

[flint urchin]

Any 2018.4, but above 4.9f1

[mighty quiver]

alright thanks

[snow orbit]

is there a way to filter between udonBehaviors like you have a udon behaviour that manages health and one that manages just the rotation for example and i only want to call the damage event on the behaviour that manages health

[flint urchin]

Just split them up and call what ever behavior you want when things happen

[snow orbit]

well yes i can split them up and make two seperate arrays with them but then how do i make two arrays so its not cancer to deal with that

Idear 1 i can make the array public on a manager script witch would require me to put every cube that has the health behavior on it into it witch is not a problem for just a few cubes but gets rather anoying realy fast plus i am not able to spawn any new ones cause the new ones arent in the array list anymore

Idear 2 make a reference to the manager script and on the Start methode put yourselve in the coresponding arrray witch of corse works but i need to drag the manager udon behaviour into and of the other scripts

both of thous solutions work but are super messy

[scarlet lake]

can't you instantiate prefab/gameobject and store gameobject handle to it in array?

[fiery yoke]

Does the "OnPlayerJoined" event also fire for yourself when you join?

[snow orbit]

@fiery yoke not sure but you can just test it just add something behind the event like destroying a cube and then join and see what happens

[fiery yoke]

I know. But Im lazy :^)

[dire crest]

Is there something wrong with using the same graph on different objects with different values in public variables. I have a public material slot that keeps changing at play time and i'm not sure if it's udon or me that's doing it wrong

[fiery yoke]

@dire crest No that should work. However I only tested it with different initial values, but not dynamic ones.

[reef birch]

does udon run in a vm solely for security and performance reasons? would it at all possible to create a networking system between two udon vms?

[sturdy elk]

@fiery yoke i can confirm it works, i used that event for my initial test

there some delay like 200ms i think

[fiery yoke]

Yeah I got it working by now as well

[idle lark]

Anyone been able to get program variables working? I duplicated the cube example and have tried remaking the get node, as suggested above, with no luck 😦

[flint urchin]

Pictures of what you got

[scarlet lake]

is it possible to make custom block in udon? for example a for block, where I could state a number of iterations and connect to execution chain that would be ran X amount of times?

[flint urchin]

@idle lark So, the way Get Program Variable works, is that you need to have a public variable in a graph that you can access from another graph.

Graph1 -> VarX (Public)
Graph2 -> Get Program Variable (Graph1 - VarX) -> Do stuff -> Set Program Variable (Graph1 - VarX)

[idle lark]

Ahhh I thought the reason he renamed it to speedProgram was because it couldn't be the same as an existing variable XD Thanks @flint urchin!

[fiery yoke]

Do we have a bit more info on how the "For" loop is actually implemented? It seems to have some weird behaviour with down-counting loops and counting from 0 to 0 does skip the loop entirely and does not execute for 0.

[normal helm]

I'm new to unity programming and I did all the same thing in the cube spinning example video #4 and it doesn't work. any suggestion?

exact same question above, sry.

[fiery yoke]

Its a pretty bad idea trying to learn programming using Udon.
Udon is not feature complete and has a lot of bugs.

[flint urchin]

You'll have to post what you got so far

[naive lodge]

If it's doing for loops like for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++) that's problematic

[flint urchin]

So we can see where you made mistakes

[normal helm]

I think so too. but I'm going to learn udon features and world creation, not programming. this is what I've done

[solemn juniper]

Has anyone gotten Vrchat Instantiate to work? From what I've tried so far it works in Unity but not in VRChat

[haughty ruin]

@normal helm same problem I had, you need to define the float variable “SpeedPro” in the rotating cube

[fickle stirrup]

@solemn juniper are you trying to instantinate a prefab?

[solemn juniper]

yeah

[fiery yoke]

@normal helm You cant learn "Udon features" without having a good understanding of C#
It ofcourse depends on the complexity, but even things that might seem simple sometimes require a pretty wide range of knowledge
(e.g. Quaternions vs. Euler Angles, Scope of Variables, Array Length vs. Index Range)

[flint urchin]

@normal helm You don't have speedPro anywhere.
so watch the video again ^_^

[normal helm]

the thing is, they don't have either. so watching it again doesn't help me.

thanks, goblox. I will go for it.

[flint urchin]

Yeah, what goblox said. I never watched the videos (wasn't any need)

[pallid mango]

I don’t think node scripting needs an understanding of textual code. It helps but isn’t necessary at all

[fickle stirrup]

if to try to implement own GetPlayers method, i need to OnPlayerJoined locally create string[] with Id, Name, etc; but i can't have synced Users[] thing and insert string[] by PlayerID as index into, and make it empty after OnPlayerLeft? any other way/ideas?

[fiery yoke]

@fickle stirrup I just did that :P

I will publish the Udon Asset in a bit, just testing it a bit more

[shadow heart]

anyone know how to get the position off of a NavMeshHit in a navmesh sample position?

[reef birch]

is onMouseDown the same as interacting with an object in the vrchat client? or is there a specific event for that

[fiery yoke]

@reef birch You probably mean "Interact" its its own event.

[reef birch]

ohh right right okay

can udon allow for prefab instantiating yet?

[fiery yoke]

@reef birch You can instantiate objects, but we havent quite figured out the networking/syncing yet.
And just to make sure with we (I mostly mean myself and everyone I know)

[reef birch]

gotchya

[reef birch]

so i go to build my test scene and try it out in the vrchat client, but every time i try to build and test, it opens into my previous project that used SDK2. any reason why this could be?

also:

[normal helm]

have you turned beta on in the steam property?

[reef birch]

yeah

[fickle stirrup]

@reef birch wrong unity version is displayed for everyone, because it's beta,
you can not enter your world because something did not complied right (usually), maybe errors from udon, is that normally run when you press Play button or red errors popup in console?

[reef birch]

lemme really quickly double check that though
ahh ok

no red errors in the console

and beta is active in the steam client

[reef birch]

and then it just kicks me out of my world into vrchat home

[stuck mountain]

@reef birch disable the clear on play button in the console window. And change something small in your scene so it will update like rename something. Then do the build and test again

Sometimes errors vanish when you have clear on play turned on

[reef birch]

should i send a pastebin of the console?

Having the stupidest time just trying to find out how to change a single transform (like set Y to 4)

[drifting sage]

Transform Set Position (not local position) with a Vec3 const or constructor set to (0, 4, 0)

if you want to preserve x and z, retrieve the current position and pull the X and Z values out with transform.getz/getx first

[fast horizon]

I mean scale sorry. Really should have specified XD

Have it working until i try to define the y value by a variable

[drifting sage]

ah, transform. set local scale then

[fast horizon]

Once i try to set x =1 , z = 1, and y= variable it breaks

[tame matrix]

make sure the variable is a float

[fast horizon]

It is so

[fast horizon]

And for replacing x y or z with a variable?

[drifting sage]

you can use a constructor if you want to dynamically set scale:

vector3.constructor set to float, float, float inputs

[fast horizon]

That worked thanks. Didn't know you needed the constructor

Was trying to use a transform vector

[fiery yoke]

@fast horizon What even is a transform vector? :P
You either mean a Transform or a Vector...there is no such thing as a transform vector :P

[fast horizon]

Well, there's a transform transform vector XD

[fiery yoke]

No that is referring to the verb "to transform"

[fast horizon]

I see that in hindsight. I don't know coding or computer science nor am i an engineer
I'm learning here >.<

[fiery yoke]

Its okay. Just important to be correct on the terminology, other wise people might be confused about what youre even saying and have to ask more questions or you might even get a wrong reply or one that is unrelated to your problem :P
