#

Thanks again so much for answering this, it clarifies a lot already

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

There is almost no one explaining stuff for VRChat specifically on forums

#

A normal developer has all the freedom

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

Yeah it’s been tough lol

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

Im not too sure on one aspect of it though

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Oh, the effect in VR is terrific btw, as good as Elite: Dangerous. Just not as good looking lol

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Well what if you stick your head outside of the windows? :P

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Sounds refreshing haha

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

Well with my idea that wouldnt work

#

Actually

#

Nah it would

#

But again Im not too sure on one aspect of my solution to that specific problem

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

What’s that aspect?

#

I feel like doing as much locally and unsynced, like the individual player’s view rotation, as possible could work?

#

But their camera would just follow a synced ship

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

Alright so my idea is:
Put the spaceship in a big room that uses a custom shader, which writes 1 to the depth buffer and ColorMask 0.
Then render the camera in your "space" scene from the point of view of the spaceship.
Then render the normal player camera view.

#

However that requires your special camera to render before the player cam. And I dont know if there is a good way to ensure that

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Ooh interesting

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

I have done a lot with shaders and custom rendering

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

So a render area? A large plane?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

No a cube

#

inverted cube that is

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Oh I see

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

or just frontface culling

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

False skybox

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Yeah essentially

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

That’s cool. Writing this down..

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

I assume your space setup is scaled down

#

i.e. its not 1:1 in your scale

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

Yeah it’s way scaled down and just a camera with a colliders and script

#

It’s technically the real ship but doesn’t have a mesh

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

Then you have to respect that scale in the near and far plane of the camera

#

Youre basically doing Source-type Skyboxes

#

Now that Im thinking about it

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

Ah, is that pretty intensive?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

And I kinda like that idea

#

No you just have to scale the planes down as well

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

If the windows of the ship are constrained enough, might be able to get away with three sides to the box? So would that be 3 cameras pointed out from the ship?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

You should just need one

#

It has the same field of view as your camera

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

Interesting

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

This is why I said you need a lot of knowledge about rendering ;P

#

and/or experience

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

Haha I see

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

I kinda want to make this as well now

#

Source Skyboxes are pretty fun

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

It’s a ton of fun to fly around, set cruise control, and then walk around.

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

Im not much for flying around in VR. I get motion sick really quick. But making Source Skyboxes sounds like a nice challenge

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

If you do could you maybe send me a link to the world?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Well I have to work on it first 😅

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Hah true. So the key phrase I have to research is source skybox?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

That wont help you much

#

its just the same principle

#

you have a scene somewhere else that you want to make essentially into a Skybox

#

However its not quite the same

#

as in a normal Skybox you never move around

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

True

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

Essentially the Camera there is fixed in place. What youre doing is making it move around

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Yeah. Hmm wait uh

#

Okay dumb idea but what if the skybox moved around in front of your vision? Haha

#

So there’s no distortion on the edges of the cube? Or is that different?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

I have no idea what youre trying to say there

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

If a large plane basically childed itself to your camera, like a UI behind everything else

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

Its only geometrically a cube. The shader would make it appear as if it has no edges

#

since youre not even rendering anything

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

Ah that’s fascinating

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

It basically just "disabling" the skybox from being rendered

#

You could set the clear flags of the Main Camera to "Do not clear"

#

that would essentially have the same effect

#

however that would break handheld cameras

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

Ah yeah, I saw it not clearing earlier in that screenshot

#

Because it wouldn’t render the 2nd camera

#

Is there any name to the technique of using one camera to project onto a skybox with a shader like that?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

No

#

At least not that Im aware of

#

thats just how I would approach that problem. Someone else might have a completely different idea

wide gyro Jun 1, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Question about namespace "UdonSharp" is this an old namespace?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

UdonSharp is a custom compiler interpreting C# code into UdonAssembly. Written by the community member Merlin

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

I see, thank you so much! If you do this I’d love to hear how. I’ll keep you up to date if I get it running as well. If I’m not able to figure that out, is it possible to have a small floating plane (with a render texture from one rotating camera on the ship) follow people’s head movement and just be rendered behind everything?

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

I suppose. But thats definitely not the "clean" way

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Gotcha. I’ll read more into this - I’m familiar with setting up cameras in OpenGL and GLFW etc, but never got into the weeds. Difficult sometimes to know what to search!

fiery yoke Jun 1, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

A lot of things are too specific to look up, especially in VRChat since its very restrictive.
I just gathered experience and knowledge by trying random stuff and talking to lots of people

south badger Jun 1, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

It is exciting making things on such a new platform though! And the community is terrific. Thanks so much

wide gyro Jun 1, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

yeah thanks helper... i still can't open the door, but at least i can make it squeak...

worthy beacon Jun 1, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

anyone know if there are known limits on VRCInstantiate? Im still debugging why, but i seem to have objects not spawning

#

this is after i have already spawned a bunch of objects

errant pilot Jun 1, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Dont know? All i know is pickup objects work funky and its local only

worthy beacon Jun 1, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

maybe a better question is the respawn mechanic for the combat system, does that interupt logic flow or can it disrupt spawning stuff

#

right now im doing a bomberman world, on death im spawning items around the map based on what they have. It spawns a few and stops spawning, but the list i build out does have a record of all the items to be spawned. Im wondering if by doing the combat death respawn mechanic could get in the way of spawning items

worthy beacon Jun 1, 2020, 7:55 PM

found the issue, didnt have anything to do with that, nm then XD

How do I set the variable of one gameobject's udon program from another?

#

Like what do I stick into ~~these three nodes~~ the instance node?

📎 unknown.png

floral dove Jun 1, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

@shrewd mural:

instance is the UdonBehaviour whose variable you want to set
name is the name of the variable to set
value is the new value you want

shrewd mural Jun 1, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

I get that what each of them does

#

I guess I should rephrase my question

#

How do I get an UdonBehaviour instance on a given GameObject?

lusty glade Jun 1, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

Create an UdonBehaviour Variable, make it public, and point it to the object that contains the UdonBehaviour.

shrewd mural Jun 1, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

The thing is that the gameobject may be different each time

#

I just want a way to go from a GameObject instance to an UdonBehaviour instance

#

Here, lemme give context

#

📎 unknown.png

lusty glade Jun 1, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

after instantiating, perhaps using setVariable to change the value of the UdonBehaviour variable to that of the cloned gameObject's, and then using that might work? You would have to get the component from the cloned gameObject. The AvatarPedestal script has an example of this you can reference.

shrewd mural Jun 1, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

See, I tried that already. I'll try it again, but the problem last time is that the component output of GetComponent wasn't connecting to the instance node of the Set Variable.

#

Yeah, it aint wanna plug in

📎 unknown.png

floral dove Jun 1, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

@shrewd mural ooh, I see. That's a known issue - the workaround is:

Connect the Game Object Get Component to instance using the 'T' mode in the dropdown
Switch it back to Type mode

shrewd mural Jun 1, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Dropdowns stopped working, restart Unity time 🦀

#

Alright, looks like it connected. Time to test my code. Thank you so much @floral dove and @lusty glade

errant pilot Jun 1, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

I have been scratching my head at this for a couple of hours now, how do I detect when the player enters a collider using Udon Sharp? When I read the UdonSharpBehavior, it does not have a OnEnterTrigger or OnTriggerEnter Method.

Can low file size text files be used to make functioning books in VRC? As opposed to conventional image files? Can VRC even use text files?

Imagined a full book in text format but used to populate pages of a book prop that changes what part of the text is populating the pages as you flipped through it.

Oh! I'm stupid.

scarlet lake Jun 2, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

so i made a button in udon graph which toggles a box 'locally', how does one not make it local?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Well. There is two ways I can think of. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages

scarlet lake Jun 2, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

so there is no good way to do a global trigger? @fiery yoke

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

Well there is an easy way, but it has certain disadvantages

#

The easiest way is to simply have a synced bool to take care of synchronizing. However then you have to "know" when to check on it or checking it all the time (in Update). Having a synced bool is taking up a certain amount of bandwidth, and checking it in Update will take up a certain amount of Frametime.

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

Can anyone spot an error in here? The myPlayer variable of the instantiated object isn't getting set (I have checked for this already, and I'm sure that's the problem).

📎 unknown.png

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

You need to delay setting variables on instaniated udon behaviours until the next frame

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

You cannot immediately after instantiating "use"...yeah what he says

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

ah, i see

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

They need a few (maybe just one) frames to intialize properly

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

I've had luck doing it in the late update call following whatever event I created the object in (typically a UI button press) but you would need to test if that holds true with OnPlayerJoin

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

The best way

#

is to set a VRCPlayerApi variable on the behaviour, then in Start of the other behaviour retrieve the value. However that requires that you need a reference

#

so you can only have a static referece, a reference by name, or some sort of other magic

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

I only have one spawner, so that would work :)

#

well wait

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Ofcourse that might break if players join too quickly

#

so yeah

#

Networking is fun

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

lol

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

You may also need to handle multiple players joining before you can set your behaviours variables

#

Yeah what helpful said

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Too bad there isn't an "Initialize"

#

that would make things a whole lot easier

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

Life would be too borring if things were easy :^)

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

So I had an idea for handling multiple people joining at the same time, but it looks like I can't do it

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

What exactly are you even trying to do?

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I want some stats to show up above each player

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

I have a premade system for giving each player a dedicated object.

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

ofrick

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

This is probably the single most complicated thing to do that is used very often

#

https://github.com/TheHelpfulHelper/UDON-Collection/tree/master/THH_PlayerManager

#

It requires UdonSharp if you dont have that already tho

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Does your system use an object pool?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Yeah

#

thats the only way to do that currently

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

object pool?

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

that allows you to deal with synced behaviours aswell, is that something your player stats system needs?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Object pool means that you dont create objects at runtime. You have all the objects that you use already in the scene and you reuse them as necessary

#

Ohh yeah youre right AirGamer, technically you dont need that

#

if you dont need sync

#

then its way easier

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Sync makes everything harder

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

Definitely makes me harder ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

worn kestrel Jun 2, 2020, 1:59 PM

OwO

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

btw thank yall for helping me :)

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

So do you need synchronization/communication between players?

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

yea

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Are you sure?

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

absolutely

#

what this is supposed to do is display a list of flags for each language the player speaks

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Ahh well yeah that would be difficult to do otherwise

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I originally had holdable flags, but this is for a community who may speak several languages

#

And well, I don't think VRC supports 5 hands for one player :P

#

@fiery yoke

Unpack both prefabs and add your system to the handler
You mean like parent the root GameObject to the PlayerHandler object?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Ohh it seems that this is still a little outdated

#

give me a second

#

@shrewd mural Now its up-to-date. Please redownload. Sorry for the inconvenience

#

And yes it will make you the owner of all objects parented to your assigned handler

errant pilot Jun 2, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Does anyone know the correct syntax for using the event OnTriggerEnter in Udon Sharp? Itll help me greatly

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

public override void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
However that wont help you much with Player collisions

#

as players will always be null

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

@fiery yoke Sorry for keeping you on this, but it doesn't seem to work.

#

Does the position/rotation of the root object matter?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

It generally shouldnt

#

I havent fully tested it in its current state

#

but it should work

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

wait hold on

#

are you able to test things in the Unity editor?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

No I tested it in game

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Then what's with the Debug.Log stuff?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

You have an ingame console. You need to setup a few things to access it tho. And also the logs are included in your actual log file.

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Ah, gotcha

#

Is there a tutorial for getting that set up?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

I dont think theres a tutorial...but you can find it somewhere here...search for "open console" or something like that. Im too lazy to explain it all over again rn :P

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 2:54 PM

lol ok

#

RShift + ` + 3? That's an odd combo lol

shrewd mural Jun 2, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

@fiery yoke Ok, I think I've almost got it figured out. The object does get assigned an owner, but the position doesn't keep updating. Do I need to do that myself?

fiery yoke Jun 2, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

Well yeah ofcourse

My system just gives each player an object they own. The rest you have to do yourself

A while back I posted a question about how to use kinematic on rigidbodies conneted to objects with Udon pickup components. This can't be done, because Udon Pickup hijacks the is-kinematic property when added to an object. But I found a workaround solution to my actual problem, and I'm posting in case anyone is doing the same in-discord search I was doing to try to find an answer to this. I can't force a rigidbody to not move while in the air until it's picked up, but I CAN put that object on an invisible shelf that disappears when the player picks the object up.

📎 unknown.png

glad oak Jun 2, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

@dreamy tangle do you mean youre able to make the object be picked up? and/or possibly thrown?

#

im trying to figure out pickable objects with udon

dreamy tangle Jun 2, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

@glad oak so long as the VRC Pickup component is on the object, you should be able to pick it up. This code allows you to have VRC objects with rigidbodies hover in the air before the player picks them up, then move around afterwards like regular rigidbody objects

glad oak Jun 3, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

Alright, I'm asking because there's no tutorial and whenever I add the pickup script in UDON, it doesn't work.

dreamy tangle Jun 3, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

...I really hate to say it, but that's...basically the state of how I feel with literally anything I try inside of Udon at this point. Everything I think should be simple ends up feeling way harder than it should be. I dunno if it's the alpha state of the tool or I'm just dumb. Anyway, here's a repo with the scene I'm working in with my tests, and the pickup attached to a cube in that scene works. You can try to use that as a starting point just to have something working if you want. https://github.com/heyacfox/VRChatTesting

So I DID make progress on my code, but now im stuck at a wall again. I am trying to get an object to move towards the player when a certain condition is met so I needed to obtain the current players position on every frame. And Udon freaks out a bit trying to get it to work. Heres what it is complaining about:

private VRCPlayerAPI Target;

void Update()
{

it's not that important but example:
I have 3 players in a world and I cue an audio
then 2 other people come in
and I cue another audio and they hear the latest one
@scarlet lake can use custom network events sent to everyone when you want to play audio

worthy beacon Jun 3, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

@errant pilot when are you setting the target player? if its not set before update gets to fire off then you're basicly doing null.GetPosition(), which is not good

#

if you want it to move twords a player, you will either need to get a list of players and have it move twords the closest player, or you could make the target the local player, which point you would want Networking.LocalPlayer.GetPosition();

I've been able to set a synced value the line after setting owner, however it's not gonna update the value immediately, u have to wait a few franes

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

Thats not what I experienced.

#

What I experienced was when setting a synced var right after SetOwner, it will overwrite the value, by the masters value, since the network has acknowledged you as the new owner yet. But I might be wrong on that

worthy beacon Jun 3, 2020, 4:53 PM

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 4:55 PM

Hmm maybe it is immediate locally. But yeah then it will still take a lot of time to update on other clients.

worthy beacon Jun 3, 2020, 4:55 PM

Ye

#

I have a system to collect players that works well by grabbing their player is when they step on a pad and setting it to a synced value, which on update updates the pad color to green and displays their name

#

It updates pretty quick but it still isn't immediate

So from my post yesterday, with the response of making a list of players, how do i obtain every players in that worlds position? So the object can go towards the nearest one?

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

You loop through the array and get everyones position, then evaluate them.

errant pilot Jun 3, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Ok so like, how does udon know which player is which and not just the local player?

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

A VRCPlayerApi is a View of a player

#

its not just your local one

#

every player that you connect with has a VRCPlayerApi that is dedicated to them

errant pilot Jun 3, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Oh. So like everyplayer has a unique id that you can grab from VRCPlayerApi right? And assign them to the array

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

No thats not how that works.

#

You have an array of PlayerApis

errant pilot Jun 3, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Okok. So VRCPlayerApi is an Array and you can use said Array to grab information from each player as they connect. Sorry man, its been almost 4 years since i touched a programming language

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

No thats not how that works either.
Trying to get into programming (again) with VRChat Udon might not be the easiest/smartest move.

worthy beacon Jun 3, 2020, 6:00 PM

Hey guys iam new at UDON and everything and made a world with 3 main places with a mirror in it....how can i change my Script that always when someone activate a mirror, the others got deactivated?

#

errant pilot Jun 3, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Two gameobjects. One for the one mirror to toggle and the other to be disable

#

Instead of doing a negation for the second mirror, just set it to false

grizzled thistle Jun 3, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

so add a node with another gameobject and set a variable to that gameobject with = false?

Does a GameObject's active state get synced in networking?

You have to sync it yourself. Nothing is synced inherently

shrewd mural Jun 3, 2020, 8:47 PM

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 8:47 PM

Yeah

Networking is a mess.

There is multiple ways to sync a boolean. All of them have drawbacks.

shrewd mural Jun 3, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

please bestow upon me your knowledge

fiery yoke Jun 3, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

The easiest way is to have a synced variable

#

But then you need to "know" when it has changed. (Which is realistically only possible on using Update() or OnDeserialization() to check its current state against its previous state that you have to store in a seperate variable)

#

For GameObject.SetActive this actually wont work

#

because the variable will not be synced when its disabled/the events wont work properly

#

which is why method 2 is superior in my opinion

#

which is setting up your own sync system

whats udon

"VRChat Udon is a programming language built completely in-house by the VRChat Development Team. It is designed to be secure, performant, and easy to use via the VRChat Udon Node Graph, a built-in visual programming interface that uses nodes and wires (we call them “noodles”) to connect flow, inputs, and outputs. You can build complex behaviors with Udon-- far more complex and easier to understand than unwieldy chains of Triggers and Actions.

Not only can you replicate the full behavior of Triggers and Actions with VRChat Udon, but you can create your own behaviors, sync variables with others, interact with scenes, interact with players, and more."

As far as I know there isn't, but you can probably devise a workaround by telling it where it came from (setprogramvariable)

CustomEvents are limited when it comes to telling where it came from

@digital orbit the term timeout or time-out has several meanings

#

That is usally called a delay

digital orbit Jun 5, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

Ah. Yes, I'm wondering if there's a better way to do that. I could do something like count frames and such, or rely on time checking during the Update(), but that's really kludgy, not to mention probably slow

fiery yoke Jun 5, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

Checking something on Update is the best way afaik

#

there really isnt any other way to do that

#

and @sturdy ibex you cant.

digital orbit Jun 5, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

Ah. I can't wait for Udon to mature more 😄

#

But for an alpha, it's pretty impressive already

fiery yoke Jun 5, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

The best approach would be coroutines, but those will probably not be supported for a long time if at all

sturdy ibex Jun 5, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

I'm sad.😭

zinc thicket Jun 5, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

@digital orbit What you could do is an Update() timer...

So basically (if you're using UdonSharp), it's:

private bool triggered;
private float triggerTime;

public void DoSomethingAfter5Seconds() {
    triggered = true;
    triggerTime = Time.time + 5f;
}

public void Something() {
    // Your 'something' goes here.
}

void Update() {
    if (Time.time > triggerTime && triggered == true) {
        triggered = false;
        Something();
    }
}

#

@fiery yoke No need for coroutines 😛. Remember when Unity 5 these were no such thing?

fiery yoke Jun 5, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

Coroutines are nice because they dont block nor take up any frametime

#

Doing something in update gets really expensive if you scale it up

#

Having 100 objects all checking if some timer has run off can slow you down significantly in combination with other systems

digital orbit Jun 5, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

Yup, that's why I was hoping there was a more elegant method 😄

#

@zinc thicket Thank you for the sample code!

zinc thicket Jun 5, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

Yeah, but gotta make do 😦

#

And then when you try to take timing into your own hands... (Chaos)

west plover Jun 5, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

@fiery yoke One specific event name per pooled object, then the caller checks the pool to find out which playerAPI is responsible for which event name at a given time, but this is not safe against ownership switches that occur between CNE emission and the ownership check.

I'm pretty new to udon, but I know my way around software engineering. I just encountered (a bug?) in which half of the VRChat SDK dropdown options (I don't really know how to describe it any better) are missing (e.g. Show Control Panel, Help, Udon Graph). This is only true for one project, I created another one and everything worked just fine. I tried reimporting everything (via the reimport option) and reimporting it manually (via add package), but unity tells me that everything is already installed. Has anyone encountered this and if so, how do you solve it? I'm pretty frustrated rn because all my progress seems to be gone....

Anyone have a script or graph UDON for master locks/controls?
@glad oak What do you mean "master lock"?

#

@dull nova You mean the VRChat SDK menu item at the top? That's not Udon related, but you should check for any custom packages or scripts which are messing with it. Take them out one at a time until it works

#

Any problems with building (it never builds and shows the screen), or menu items missing, is almost invariably due to a custom package conflicting with the SDK. Specifically, look for any custom package that uses CS scripts. Solution, remove it

For the most part, performance should be pretty good-- but there’s a bug currently affecting iteration across large arrays when running in the VRChat client. Try not to do that for now!
i was wondering if this is still the case.

fiery yoke Jun 6, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Well yes and no. I think the particular bug was fixed. But iterating over arrays gets worse the longer it is. So after like size 100 it gets pretty slow. Especially if you do it in Update().

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

oh wow... so lets say... 50 enemies with like 15 variables, 4 functions wouldnt work out?

#

what if i were to limit array size by 40 elements each, and put those in an array to iterate over them

#

is it purely calling variables and doing calculations that creates lag?

fiery yoke Jun 6, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Its accessing an element from the array, since it scans every element in the array when you access one. Which basically makes a O(n) into an O(n^2)

#

However one part is in native C# while the other is in Udon

#

so the effect is dampened, but still feelable

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

okay i have the worlds silliest idea

#

i will make 5000 variable names

#

no arrays, just purely initializing 5000 variables... and i will fill those whenever i have to

fiery yoke Jun 6, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

Yeah that isnt so silly

#

Ive seen a few people do that for some shorter "arrays"

#

however using that is ... not easy

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

it isnt... but i dont see another way lmao

#

i will try some stuff in another project

#

should i test my code in vrchat, or does the unity editor show the same performance?

#

    float[] variables2;
    float lastTime = 0;
    int size = 0;
    bool stop = false;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!stop)
        {
            if (Time.deltaTime >= 1)
            {
                stop = true;
                Debug.Log(size + " big");
            }
        
            size += 10;

            variables = new float[size];
            variables2 = new float[size];
            for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            {
                variables[i] = i;
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            {
                variables2[i] = variables[i];
            }
        }
    }```

#

because this doesnt seem to lag

fiery yoke Jun 6, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

Editor is usually a lot faster than in game. But with certain things it can be much slower. So just test it in game

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

alright

#

wow, performance issues to the max

#

yeah

#

well that is a problem

#

i can try making an array-less code thing machine of doom

#

lemme see

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

so.. i have made a test, it will calculate deltatime with 2 different ways of using arrays....... long story short, we can check performance with this :P

#

type isnt updating yet, but this is type 0... using standard arrays as you normally would

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this just fills the array with data

#

now i had some problems with the second type.... but

#

well, you cant fix it by adding more... arrays

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this will basically be the research place lmao

#

im going to check every possible way of iterating over a group of things

#

code 1:

    {
        T1_variables = new float[size];
        T1_variables2 = new float[size];
        for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            T1_variables[i] = i;
        }
        if (putInOtherArray)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            {
                T1_variables2[i] = T1_variables[i];
            }
        }
    }```

#

code 2:

    {
        int arraySize = Mathf.FloorToInt(size/ T2_arrayMax)+1;

        T2_variables = new float[arraySize][];
        T2_variables2 = new float[arraySize][];

        int index = size;
        while(index >= 31)
        {
            index -= 30;
            T2_variables[Mathf.FloorToInt(index / 30)] = new float[30];
            T2_variables2[Mathf.FloorToInt(index / 30)] = new float[30];
        }
        T2_variables[arraySize-1] = new float[index];
        T2_variables2[arraySize-1] = new float[index];

        for (int i = 0; i < arraySize - 1; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < T2_variables[i].Length - 1; j++)
            {
                T2_variables[i][j] = i;
                if (putInOtherArray)
                {
                    T2_variables2[i][j] = T2_variables[i][j];
                }
            }
        }
    }```

fiery yoke Jun 6, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Ohh btw for primitives that scane doesnt apply

#

So an array of floats will not be the same (performance wise) as an array of GameObjects

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

that is true, for the sake of simplicity i used floats, which is i believe is 4 bytes...

#

now... i will try creating a system that doesnt use arrays, with about 1000 different variables and the biggest switch statement in reality

#

i will have to write code to write code

#

so... this is what my code created

📎 positions.txt

#

now if this works better than arrays...

#

i wouldnt know what world we live in...

old scaffold Jun 6, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

Is Quaternion.toAngleAxis() still broken in the current release of Udon? I saw that it was supposedly fixed back in April, but I'm still having trouble with it.

shrewd bluff Jun 6, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

i cna confirm that that code... didnt do well...

#

📎 unknown.png

#

lets just say that the 100 ms is not telling the truth...

#

and i think its because im calling functions

#

if everything is just in one function (update3())

#

it might work

#

i will try this out too

#

code 3:

    {
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            setVariable(i, i);
        }
        if (putInOtherArray)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            {
                float a = getVariable(i);
            }
        }
    }```

#

so i have calculated how many... things have to happen in 1 for loop to get a variable and set it to another variable without using functions

#

if i were to use my way of arrays (1000 different variables)

#

it would take 1000000 checks, to get a variable and set it to another

#

and that is for 1 check

#

60 million checks every second?

#

i dont think that udon likes that idea

#

so im not going to try

#

conclusion for now: udon cant support a tower defense game with more than 3 enemies on screen (synced with other players)

@hushed gazelle Lots of things are unsupported in Udon. Likely not a bug, just not added.

You can't set arrays of many things, for example KeyCode[]

But what do you have in your script for that?

I've noticed that unsupported values (e.g. an unsupported array type) usually aren't supported at the global level, but you can use them inside functions

fiery yoke Jun 7, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Dont.
Im using a lot of weird tricks to achieve the portal effect. Plus its not perfect, dunno if thats just how it is, or if one could make it really seemless.

#

Its a combination of camera trickery, special shaders and lots of maths.

old scaffold Jun 7, 2020, 3:26 PM

Hmm... Fair enough. Thanks for the quick reply!

fiery yoke Jun 7, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

The main problem is avatars, since you have no way to "manipulate" them

#

Plus VRChat being...VR. So using render textures gets much harder. Which is why Im not using them. However that means that you need to manipulate the depth buffer, and getting that right isnt easy.

old scaffold Jun 7, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Yeah, I first attempted to do it with render textures and quickly realized VRChat doesn't like that very much.

Well yeah because rendering in VR is a lot more complicated than non-VR.

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:30 PM

well you gotta give it a reference

#

if it's on the same gameObject it's

#

gameObject.getComponent<Animator>();

#

or just have a public Animator NAME;

#

then

#

afaik every animator is on their own and they vars aren't shared

#

public VRCStation station;

#

and to get the AnimaorController

#

RuntimeAnimatorController stationsAnimatorController = station.animatorController;

#

that gets what's in the stations animatorController field

#

and it seems to compile

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:41 PM

I'm not having any compiling issues, just that I need to figure out a way to change the float on an Animator Controller that's in a Station basicly, either that or be able to edit an animation at runtime that I can use in a station

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

try

#

VRCStation.animatorController

#

and setting stuff in that

#

don't think vrchat will ever allow you to make changes directly to the players animator besides avatar 3.0

#

oh

#

RuntimeAnimatorController is..

#

weird

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

I can set the Animator Controller just fine, but it doesnt seem to want to use the floats if I've changed them, only has gets the default one that's set before I start up the scene

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

I think every animator has their own animator controller

#

so changing one doesn't affect the other

#

just as changing materials via scripting

#

well

#

meshRenderers materials

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Yeah and I need to figure out a way to probably use a float instead, cause otherwise I'd have to do probably hundreds of animations individually

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

what

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Okay so maybe I need to give you some more context

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

if you can't set one thing you won't be able to set a different thing either

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

I'm using a float to normalize the time in a linear animation to lerp between two states and I need to figure out a way to update the float in the station's controller

#

The only issue I'm having is that I cant figure out a way to change that float

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

seems like you are not able to change the animator instance used in that station

#

wait 🤔

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

I mean at first it's empty, and once the script runs it sets the animator, but it just uses the default float

#

Another alternative would be if I could edit animations, but as far as I can tell, that's just for legacy animations, which means it wouldnt work for stations/avatars

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

the float and things are stored in the animator

#

so good luck getting to the animator :)

#

What animation is it?

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

Stored in the animator component itself?

#

Just a simple animation I made that changes some transform from 0 to 2

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I think all the variables from an animatorcontroller are part of the animator and the controller just stores all the things to do with the statemachine

#

the scripting reference only shows it used within the editor

#

you can addParameter

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Maybe, I'll check it out

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animations.AnimatorController.html

#

no setBool etc cause those are part of the Animator

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Yeah

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

else everything in vrchat would be moving at the same time

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

And that would be individual

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

if they were all linked

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Is there a node to add a Parameter? Kindof struggling to find one

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

though luck getting a reference to the animator

#

it might not be exposed

#

didn't check

#

oh

#

it's part of the UnityEditor; library

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

This is proving alot harder than I'd hope for it to be

tropic canyon Jun 7, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

What does the animation do?

mighty fjord Jun 7, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

It changes the object scale transform from like 0 to 2 or something like that

#

It's nothing I can get around without using a station with an animator

shadow geyser Jun 8, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

how would i make a behavior that fires when a player touches it?

tropic canyon Jun 8, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

OnCollisionEnter maybe

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

How does one detect a VRC Pickup interaction with an UdonBeahviour? My Interact method gets called when I click on the thing when it's not being held, but it does not get called when someone is holding the thing and clicking it

tropic canyon Jun 8, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

OnPickupUseDown

#

but you gotta set that up in the pickup

#

pickups don't use interact

#

they use

#

OnPickup()

#

and OnDrop()

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

I don't see any events to hook up for VRC Pickup; do I need to turn on debug mode in the inspector for that or something?

tropic canyon Jun 8, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

public override void OnPickup(){}

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

oh, it's just implicit

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

hm, is "Auto Hold" supported in SDK3? it doesn't seem like it's working. if I let go of my grip, the object falls

#

I have "Exact Gun" set to a transform, "Orientation" set to "Gun", and "AutoHold" set to "Auto Detect" (also tried "Yes") and it's not working

cunning mist Jun 8, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Auto-Hold does work in Udon, I'm uncertain what you would be running into.

teal isle Jun 8, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

I'm making a video player that allows input of custom urls. Currently I am trying to send the url to the SyncVideoPlayer via the AddUrl method, and udon doesn't have a node for VRC_SyncVideoPlayer, and there's no way to set an event's text input to the input field's text value. In code terms, I need something that looks like this:

using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
using VRCSDK2;

public class VideoURLSync : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_InputField inputField;
    public VRC_SyncVideoPlayer videoPlayer;

    /// <summary>
    /// Adds the url currently inside the input field
    /// </summary>
    public void AddUrl() => videoPlayer.AddUrl(inputField.text);
}```

```json
{
    "Button": {
        "OnClick": {
            "type": "runtime",
            "target": "VideoPlayerGameObject.VideoURLSync",
            "method": "AddUrl"
        }
    }
}```

Thanks!

@cunning mist maybe it's a Valve Index thing? when I slightly let go of the controller grip, it definitely drops the object

#

either that or I'm just not setting up the pickup correctly

#

I've tried both "Auto Detect" and "Yes" for the AutoHold property on the pickup

@cunning mist maybe it's a Valve Index thing? when I slightly let go of the controller grip, it definitely drops the object
@silk marsh I heard that's a thing on the oculus rift controllers as well. I only have those, so I can't really test this option

#

It might only work on vive controllers then

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

damn 😦 you'd think if it worked on Vive it'd work on Index since they're so close

chilly aspen Jun 8, 2020, 7:12 AM

You can't get the players camera btw.
@flint urchin I believe there is a way to get the player's camera. Create a Canvas in the scene with the following properties. Run the scene. Set plane distance to 0.08 if you want a GUI. Set plane distance to 0.00 if you want the Canvas immediately on top of the player (the transform can be used by other game objects to determine where the camera is).

📎 Photo.png

flint urchin Jun 8, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

Sure, I know about that one. But you still cannot get the player camera itself.

#

Which was the case in this response

#

Besides, you can just get the head position and you don’t need the extra components or code to get it

#

Pros and cons for both

#

Using a screen space canvas you are only getting the camera position, but not the camera itself

chilly aspen Jun 8, 2020, 7:23 AM

#

Bone positions of the head on most custom avatars often have a different Vector3 than that of the main camera. If accuracy is important, then it's recommended to create a canvas with the following properties as a proxy of guaranteeing a frame-perfect lock on the player's Vector3 camera position. If not, then the Vector3 bone position of the head may be used.

flint urchin Jun 8, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

TrackingData Head position is the center of your screen / vr

#

It’s not the bone position

#

It’s position data directly from the VR headset with a offset

chilly aspen Jun 8, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

Ah yeah, that method works. Forgot about tracking data.
debugCube.transform.SetPositionAndRotation(Networking.LocalPlayer.GetTrackingData(VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType.Head).position, new Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0));

flint urchin Jun 8, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Like I said, pros and cons to both.
Do the solution that works for you.

#

Besides, screen space canvas you don’t need to update position on

#

Though, does require some extra api calls just to get the data

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

I don't suppose there's a way to lock out a player's WASD or other movement controls is there?

#

it's kinda infuriating trying to type in an input field and be moving all over the place or crouching down when you hit Z

chilly aspen Jun 8, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

Maybe: Networking.LocalPlayer.Immobilize(true);

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

hm, I'll try that tomorrow

sturdy ibex Jun 8, 2020, 8:18 AM

hello.
I want to controll VideoPlayer with Udon. but I can't find solutions.
Does anyone know about this?

fiery yoke Jun 8, 2020, 8:30 AM

@silk marsh Immobiilize will only disable moving. It wont disable crouching/proning or jumping.

hushed gazelle Jun 8, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

@sturdy ibex Video players are currently disabled.

#

How optimized is using Event Update for 20-odd players in a world? It's not gonna be doing much, just a simple regular check, I just want to make sure I'm not doing something an expensive way.

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

@silk marsh Immobiilize will only disable moving. It wont disable crouching/proning or jumping.
@fiery yoke ah, damn. wish giving focus to an input field would disable those automatically...kinda ridiculous

fiery yoke Jun 8, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Well you can disable jumping as well

#

However you cant disable crouching/proning afaik

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

proning is the most annoying thing because when you type Z, you can't see the keyboard/input field anymore

#

gonna probably be easiest for people to use the actual in-world keyboard than to try and type in Desktop mode I guess

What method gets called when you try to use an item you're holding?

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

OnPickupUseDown and OnPickupUseUp I think

#

they're overridable in UdonSharpBehaviour

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

Is there a way to use Animations through Udon?

#

I'm trying to play an animation after OnPickupUseUp (UdonSharp)

#

Animation itself isn't exposed, so...

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

@digital orbit sure - you can change a variable on an animator, which can transition based on the state of that variable

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Ah, my question was kinda ambiguous. I mean, Is there a way I can cause a specific animation to play ?

silk marsh Jun 8, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

yeah, you use RuntimeAnimatorController to set parameters

#

actually just Animator; it relays it automatically

#

if your UdonBehaviour is on the model with the mesh renderer, this.GetComponent<Animator>().SetBool(...), or SetInt, SetTrigger, etc.

#

you'll set up the actual animation stuff in the animator controller graph in Unity

#

i.e. you go from Entry to your normal state, and when the parameter/trigger changes, you can enter a state where the animation plays

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

My bad, I saw Animation isn't available, that isn't Animator

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

So in conclusion, does this look right?

#

(Minus the OnPickUpUseUp, I know the declaration is wrong)

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

@digital orbit - how are you calling OnStateExit?

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

I don't know, I was just following Unity docs

#

Maybe it's in the wrong place

#

Just trying to set it to disable after it's done playing

#

Probably this is quite rough as I don't fully understand how it all works

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

I guess you could have OnPickupUseDown set it to true and OnPickupUseUp set it to false if you want to manage it with a bool. But if you only care about triggering it, maybe Animator.SetTrigger is a better fit?
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/Animator.SetTrigger.html

#

yeah, Unity Animators / Animations can be tricky to learn, there's a lot of parts.

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Ok, so this looks right I think

#

And this should be good

#

📎 unknown.png

#

But it's not triggering on use. I can tell by debug that both are being called.

#

So, an Udon exception is happening on animator.SetBool which is why nothing is triggering

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

what's the exception?

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

It wasn't specific

#

All it said was, UdoN exception

#

I could only test this in-game because I can't pickup an item in Unity itself

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

you can test in editor by adding OnMouseDown/OnMouseUp for easier debugging

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Good idea

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

also, you'll want to set that bool to false at some point

#

or else I don't think it can transition back and forth

#

you could set it to true on down and false on up. Should work with both pickups and mousedown/mouseup

#

or just use a trigger

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

If I have a defined exit time, the whole thing will play regardless, even though an exit state condition is defined as it being set to false?

#

That would work fine

#

I'll see if I can debug this later

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Here we are

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

are you sure your animator isn't null?

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

rather than GetComponent, you could make it a public variable and connect it in the inspector. Or at the very least, do a null check after getting it and before you try to use it.

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

I see the problem

#

The type turned it into local

#

No wonder

floral dove Jun 8, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

oh right

digital orbit Jun 8, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

Subtle

#

Thanks for the help 😉

floral dove Jun 9, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

if you're declaring it as variable anyway, just add [SerializeField] and then you can tie it up in the inspector and skip the GetComponent

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Yeah that looks right

#

Oh wow Discord

#

It didn't load new messages til I typed; that was in reply to an old message 😂

#

But yeah you can see that Studio is highlighting that declaration as unused; that's your clue that you shadowed the instance field

Also if you type the word "override" I think it should show you the correct declaration of OnPickupUseUp that you can auto-complete; I know ReSharper does but I think Studio does on its own as well

#

if you're declaring it as variable anyway, just add [SerializeField] and then you can tie it up in the inspector and skip the GetComponent
@floral dove what is "SerializeField" for? I've never used it on anything

floral dove Jun 9, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

SerializeField will show a private field in the inspector. I prefer it over public variables so I can make sure variables are only accessed where I expect.

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Oh, interesting. Never knew that. I dropped all "proper C# programming paradigms" for Udon since it's so limited so I just make the ones I want in the inspector public :p

floral dove Jun 9, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

that's fine on solo projects, but for working with others I find a private variable will communicate intent more.

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Is there a good way to figure out the ground height? Right now I'm cheating by grabbing the players Y coords, but..

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

what do you mean "ground" height? what defines ground?

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

by ground, I technically mean the closest collider directly underneath

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

oh, I think you'd have to use the player's position for that, yeah. I'm not sure that raycasting is fully supported in Udon yet

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring. The player pos y works fine, but if I'm in the air for example, then that's where it shows. It would be straight horizontal away at that point and not on the ground

#

But I can make do though 🙂

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

yeah. someone else may have figured out a way, but I think until they fix the raycasting method calls, it's unreliable (or impossible; haven't personally tried)

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

Probably have to wait for more support 😛

tropic canyon Jun 9, 2020, 4:18 AM

Raycasting is broken?

vrcThinking

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

Isn't there a check on the player if it's grounded?
There's a isGrounded function on the player object

#

But this was more about knowing the Y coordinate of the nearest collider directly underneath you so it can be used to set the height of another object

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

man, I wish that SendCustomNetworkEvent worked in the Unity editor

What are you doing that you need the closest collider underneath?

#

vrcAevSlap

#

There might be a way to phrase the problem differently not making use of raycasts and other things ...

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

Just need to set an object onto the ground directly underneath (and forward after that, but forward isn't difficult since getting those coords is easy)

#

Even if the persons in the air for example

tropic canyon Jun 9, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

Raycasts should be working

#

vrcFPaulSip

#

Just raycast directly down ignoring the player layer

#

Maybe add a little offset upwards to the player so it won't fail when the player collider is right up against the floor

silk marsh Jun 9, 2020, 4:53 AM

Can Udon SetProgramVariable of a private member, or does it have to be public (probably does)?

floral dove Jun 9, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

@digital orbit if you're not sure, give it a try!

acoustic delta Jun 9, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

@digital orbit It completely ignores if a variable is private or not. The "private" is only synthetic sugar for the Inspector menu.

#

SetProgramVariable and GetProgramVariable doesn't actually check if the variable is exported

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

That's good 😄

acoustic delta Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

Is it? vrcThinking

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 AM

Both good and downsides

acoustic delta Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

It's basically a form of reflection, so depends on if you think reflection is good or not.

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

Sometimes during program communication, you want to communicate through some variables, but you don't want them publicly accessible in the inspector menu

#

One could argue, bad in the case that "private" means it should not be allowed to be changed through external means

#

I'm willing to accept the risk given I can keep some internal options out of the inspector

#

Any options in the inspector is like, "see me! Change me!"

floral dove Jun 9, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

@digital orbit you can use [HideInInspector] to hide away any public variables so they're not exposed in the inspector.

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 6:52 AM

@digital orbit You can also use [SerializeField] on private variables to make them show in the inspector.
In the end public/private doesnt really have any real value in Udon. Its mostly just for your IDE to cooperate. (And only really useful to convey purpose for other programmers that might look at your code)

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

@acoustic delta Well, seeing now as you can hide things from the inspector, it seems it's easy enough to make a public changeable variable that's not seen in inspector. 🙂 So I guess no need to make it private to hide it anymore. / My personal coding style /

Yeah, that's been there since the beginning. But since type isn't supported, it will fail

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 7:30 PM

Ahhhh, ok , I see 😮

#

Just have to wait for more updates then 😛

flint urchin Jun 9, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Will come soon, priority at the moment is the new UI

digital orbit Jun 9, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

Interesting thing, UdonSharpBehavior[] doesn't draw up any errors

#

Although I haven't tested whether it actually works though

my zone triggers for things like mirrors.. can be triggered by anyone leaving the area

#

how do i make sure they're just for each player locally?

#

#

would changing mirror reflection to not hit player but only playerlocal break anything?

#

or is there a udon solution

#

or is there a way to make other layers not mess with vr ray casting like mirrorreflection

#

how do you guys manage to get a ui button to change a value on a variable on udon? Also, can i zoom out somehow?

flint urchin Jun 9, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

Zoom will be added when the new UI update comes out

#

And only a UI component that can send variables can set variables in a behaviour.

floral dove Jun 10, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

@ashen sinew there are examples of changing values with a button in the VRChat Examples folder that comes with Udon, in the SyncUI scene. Take a look at the Readme in there, it will take you through all of the examples.

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

ooh, i hadnt notice that, thanks

cunning mist Jun 10, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

I also have a tutorial on that if the examples are still not doing it for you, but having the actual files to look through yourself is what I consider the best way to learn, so check out the examples first!

#

Differences between NetworkEventTarget.Owner and NetworkEventTarget.All? Interestingly, I noticed that All triggers the network event on both the person who called the network event, and others

#

Might it thus be concluded that NetworkEventTarget.Owner skips the owner but does everyone else?

flint urchin Jun 10, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

Nope, Owner is what it is, Owner. It will only be sent to the current owner of the Udon Behaviour

digital orbit Jun 10, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

I see!

flint urchin Jun 10, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

Now one just got to wish for that they add more targets.

rancid ruin Jun 10, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

is it possible to check who triggered something? yourself vs others?

digital orbit Jun 10, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

If you do Interact, you can do Networking.SetOwner(), then on the Network triggered event, just check if you're the owner or not if(!Networking.IsOwner(_player, self.gameObject))

#

Or you could just set a local boolean and flip it on and off in the methods. As long as you keep your networked functions separate from the ones called from the local user interaction events, you're all good to go

Will AudioSource Play OneShot loop if the audio source is already set to do so, or will it enforce a single playthrough of its mounted sound?

#

Realized looking at it that (removed) image one of the values reset and should probably re-test it first...

mighty fjord Jun 10, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Is there any quick way to tell if someone respawns?

#

Or maybe exits a station by respawning from a station?

hushed gazelle Jun 10, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Okay, as far as I can tell this SHOULD enable an active particle's emission module and it isn't. I know the trigger to it is working, so have I missed anything obvious here?

flint urchin Jun 10, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

@mighty fjord there is no other way to detect respawn other than having a trigger collider (the better option) at spawn and do stuff there.

Or use the player position and check if they are at spawn or not (bad option)

Other than that we just got to wait for them to add a respawn event node https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-feedback/p/onplayerrespawn-node

mighty fjord Jun 10, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Ah, yeah, I figured I'd probably just have to add some collider or something instead, thanks for the heads up! ^^

mighty fjord Jun 10, 2020, 4:33 PM

Also, how exactly do you set these events up?

Does anyone know the layer where vrchat used the character controller?

#

tried both Player and PlayerLocal with no luck

#

need to check collision with player, this is why i kinda need it

fiery yoke Jun 10, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

@ashen sinew
You cannot check the player, as the player is a protected object and will always return null in Udon.
There is several ways around it tho:

Oh, that explains it, thanks!

#

Okay, just confirming, this above worked for me

#

don't do this, as it won't work (this was what i was trying to do before):

Spare youre efforts. Youre not the first to ask about Player Collision and you wont be the last xD

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Oh, sorry haha, i asked cause there's not much documentation, and couldn't figure it out what was wrong

fiery yoke Jun 10, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

Yeah dont worry. Documentation will probably come at some point....maybe....hopefully

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 7:51 PM

Yeah, its not like i enjoy having to ask for this kind of stuff or the obvious xD

fiery yoke Jun 10, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Its not obvious at all

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

no, i didnt meant like that, its like, i developed stuff before, so this is the kind of questions that i would normally not do haha

fiery yoke Jun 10, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Well everything is a little special in Udon

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

mhm, this is why i swapped to c# version of it already, the whole graphical thing was making it hard for me

#

anyways thanks

old scaffold Jun 10, 2020, 10:29 PM

I'm having trouble with instantiating a pickup object. The prefab has an Empty UdonBehaviour for syncing, VRC_Pickup, collider, and rigidbody script on it, but when I spawn the object in game it doesn't let me pick it up.

#

Nevermind, I figured it out. Apparently having an animation on the item that modified scale caused it to not be pickupable.

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

hmmm, do you need that animation at all tho?

old scaffold Jun 10, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

It was more to make the object not just pop into existence when instantiated, I could probably get away with using a particle system though to achieve a similar effect.

ashen sinew Jun 10, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

you can probably code your way through it too

#

maybe even add the animation after the spawn of the prefab

#

(just speculating, not sure if that would do the trick)

old scaffold Jun 10, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

I'll try that.

old scaffold Jun 10, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

Ok, I retract my former statement of the animation being the problem. When I remove the animator and place it in the scene normally, I can pick it up. When I instantiate the same object, I can't pick it up.

floral dove Jun 11, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

@old scaffold instantiation has some known issues at the moment, it's not recommended for use yet.

old scaffold Jun 11, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Gotcha

digital orbit Jun 11, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Does object respawning (like when it falls off of the edge) work properly?

#

Because I'm not seeing my objects respawn, and I have respawn selected in VRC SCene descriptor. Is it due to the instantiation issue you mentioned?

cedar pawn Jun 11, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Sorry to ask as basic a question as this, but how would I go about copying the rotation from one object to another in terms of exactly duplicating the rotation angles? I figured it out using the animation method in SDK2 (that was painful) but I'm struggling just to figure out which nodes I need in UDON

digital orbit Jun 11, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

Get both GameObjects Transformation
object1trans.rotation = object2trans.rotation

cedar pawn Jun 11, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

yeah, that's what I'm trying to do but I think I'm just screwing up on the nodes I'm grabbing

#

On this, fatherRotation refences the object this is attached to, and LightToRotate refences the object that I want to copy rotate

If you know how to program, I suggest UdonSharp. It's more intuitive in my opinion since programming is clear and straight-forward (not that graphs aren't, but if you can, it's easier in the long run)

#

I've made lots of complicated programs that wouldn't stand a chance in the graph

cedar pawn Jun 11, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

I know a bit of C#, the only reason I not currently going to UdonSharp is the lack of documentation for UDON atm, so I'm pretty much just trying to use the search function on the nodes as the refence doc to find what I need.... clearly that isn't working for me thus far though lol

digital orbit Jun 11, 2020, 3:05 AM

For the rest that's not covered here, make a blank graph, search the node editor, and you can usually figure out what code it'll be

#

At least this should give you a fighting chance
