rough beacon
if i add network at end of premade toggle. will that make it global?
rough beacon
ok. that dont work. -.-
floral dove
@rough beacon you need to send an event name and then create a custom event with that name. Check out the Sync examples in the UdonExampleScene to see how they work.
@bleak widget @fiery yoke the official place for Udon docs is here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
We don't have information on Sync yet because it's changing as we speak. Once we finalize the upgrades to sync, we'll document them and explain how it all works.
bleak widget
I have this script that is supposed to toggle the enabled state of my stage object and sync up the state for new people that join. It turns the object on but not back off. Not sure if it is a sync variable thing or if I am just missing something right in front of me
floral dove
@bleak widget - only the owner of the object can change the state but you're not checking for ownership
not sure if that's the issue but it may cause some confusion while you're testing
bleak widget
Yeah, I thought it may have been related to it but that didn't explain why I was able to turn it on but not off
floral dove
I'm assuming you've got StageStateSync with 'Sync' turned on and StageStateLocal with it turned off
floral dove
I suggest you add the ownership check and then you can start logging what is happening to figure out what's causing the issue
bleak widget
How would I go about "logging" in udon?
floral dove
use Debug.Log, then open the Debug Console by pressing Right-Shift, backtick, 3 with the client open.
to turn on logging, you have to launch with some command-line args, but these are injected for you if you use Build & Test with your VRChat Client Path set.
bleak widget
Whoa, that is key combo. That makes it a lot easier to debug things for sure
floral dove
yeah, it's a little unwieldy but you get used to it. Feel free to press other numbers too, to see the other info you can get.
bleak widget
What node(s) is used to get owner again?
floral dove
@bleak widget - try using the Full Search using tab, type 'Owner' and see what comes up.
@warm mist - not really a question for this channel about developing things in udon, you can try #world-development if you'd like.
warm mist
Looks like a place to show off worlds mostly. But ok.
bleak widget
Is there a way to get the VRCPlayerApi of the player who triggered an Interact event?
floral dove
Interact events happen locally - you then fire off something networked if you want your world to react to it
bleak widget
Oh right. I can just use local player then duh
floral dove
that's right
bleak widget
Spent like 15 mins trying to figure out why my code wasn't changing when I loaded the world. Restarting unity fixed it lol
vivid river
yea, Unity can be a bitch sometimes
rough beacon
seem like every time i think i got it to work. it bite me -.-
i just wish someone just give me prebuild button that work on global. it ok, 1 day i get it right. 😦
bleak widget
Oof ok this is becoming really trippy. I moved a debug block to a different section and it made another part work completely differently 0.o
scarlet lake
Trying to setup a UI but can't seem to get words to appear, been trying to do what the UDON test scene does
Changed some stuff, still nothing
floral dove
@scarlet lake what does your graph look like? How is it different from the working demo graphs?
bleak widget
So I have a synced bool variable that doesn't seem to be syncing between each persons instance. I set up a very basic script that to test if the variable is changing across instances but it doesn't seem to be changing. I am sure that I am the owner before changing the value. It does change locally but not for everyone else
Anything I should look for to debug this issue?
floral dove
Do you mean it's not syncing between players? We use 'instances' to mean different copies of the same world, between which there is no data transfer.
bleak widget
Sorry, same instance of the world but different players
floral dove
Cool. Do the synced variables in the demo scene work for you?
bleak widget
Umm, I don't know? I would think so because I can change the one for my local player but other players aren't getting the same value change
floral dove
I mean - have you built the UdonExampleScene with its synced variables and seen them working? That helps to ensure that your workflow is all good.
bleak widget
How would I see anything different in the sample scene that mine? It looks like it works for my player in my own code as well, but the value doesn't change for anyone other than me
floral dove
The easiest way to test sync is by running Build and Test with two clients:
https://youtu.be/8yaQY0arCnc
bleak widget
Ah with two clients. I see. I didn't know if that would work for testing sync. I will try that next and look at my debug logs
floral dove
Yep, it's the easiest way to test sync for sure.
You may want to take a look at the Readme in the VRChat Examples folder, it explains all this and more! Great place to get started.
bleak widget
Ok, just tested and the sync worked just fine. The way I expected it to work
Maybe I should just try restarting my unity and reuploading
scarlet lake
@scarlet lake what does your graph look like? How is it different from the working demo graphs?
@floral dove I tried making it like the demo UI but smaller
restive dust
I haven't gotten into the networking side of Udon yet, but the idea of testing with two clients never occurred to me! Definitely a good thing to keep in mind for the future.
daring copper
anyone else having issues syncing?
testing a world, hadnt really changed anything, and only the master is getting updated
but no one else is getting synced
this was syncing perfectly find before
rough beacon
i cant get sync to work right. i sure other not having that problem
daring copper
so it is working...kind of
when i wasnt the master it worked consistently but was super laggy, like would take upwards of 7 seconds to sync an integer
it took her when she joined a world like 45 seonds to finally sync
tawny island
is it normal that you spend like 5minutes compiling shader variants?
//Edit: And how many FPS are needed for a good map feeling?
onyx knot
What is the right way to be able to pick up a object and when you let go for it to be not affected by gravity. I tried freezing it but that just makes it look super laggy xd
zealous mason
I'd guess this is what you're looking for, the 'use gravity' on the rigidbody component of your pickup item.
@onyx knot
bleak widget
Unless you want the object to float around like it is in space, you probably want to enable "Is Kinematic" as well
onyx knot
Thank you :D
proven vessel
Any idea if VRC_PlayerAudioOverride will be/is available in the SDK3? Looking to make a mic stand for singing and other related voice needs.
proven vessel
oof. Ok, Thanks.
floral dove
@proven vessel we're working on a major audio system override right now to make all sorts of new things possible in Udon. I'm hopeful that it will be weeks and not months, but it's a complex system so we won't have a solid timeline until it's just about ready.
proven vessel
I appreciate all you do! Thank you for the update.

Update on the fog issue. Through a bunch of testing, I found that it will turn off if you try to change the fog mode to anything other than what the world started with
dark blade
i need a script for toggling mirrors. i tried youtube but they dont seem to work even in play mode
bleak widget
This video should be up to date for toggle buttons
floral dove
@dark blade - the script on the MirrorSystem in the ExampleUdonScene works. Make sure you've set up Build & Test correctly: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/using-build-test
the video above from Vowgan will guide you through making a toggle in UdonSharp, the documentation above is for using the Udon Graph. You're welcome to use either one, but you'll want to go to the UdonSharp discord for any further questions if you go that route.
@dark blade let me know if the Mirror System in the ExampleUdonScene works for you once you have Build & Test set up correctly.
floral dove
hey @dark blade it'd be cool if you followed-up here with what worked or didn't work for you after asking questions 😉
agile oasis
does anyone know how to make like edable foods and drinks for worlds? been trying to look for tutorials but i cant find one and im confused on how exactly people make them for their worlds ( like cookies that break when you use them, or drinks that can be used and refilled ect)
scarlet lake
How would I go about having a proximity trigger? They enter an area to turn on the mirror, and when they leave that area, turn off the mirror
Man, I love clicking "Force Non-VR" in the SDK then clicking Build & Test -- AND IT LAUNCHES VRCHAT IN VR
updated my SDK hoping it would fix that and NOPE still does it
scarlet lake
Actually lmao apparently I uninstalled my backup vrchat thigny and forgot to re-direct it
How would I go about having a proximity trigger? They enter an area to turn on the mirror, and when they leave that area, turn off the mirror
However, im still stumped on this
also having problems with QvPen's (https://booth.pm/en/items/1555789)
floral dove
@scarlet lake the nodes for detecting players are included in the next update. There are some funky workarounds on the forum but they're a bit complex.
scarlet lake
https://github.com/Merlin-san/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.17.5 had a friend suggest I import this, it fixed most of the red errors doing that
floral dove
You'll need to ask the creator of the pens for support on those.
floral dove
@agile oasis you could start by learning the basics of how Udon works, and make a simple object toggle. You can find the getting started docs here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
The example scene that comes with the SDK shows you how to turn objects on and off, which is the first step in making edible items.
@scarlet lake those are just warnings. Only errors (in red) will stop something from functioning altogether
scarlet lake
Thought this would work xD but hope next update does have it
https://gyazo.com/3d4c5eb21f99b2e47882b11a7a8c08cf They work as props to hold uwu
but don't function as pens lol
floral dove
@scarlet lake ok, looks like when any rigidbody enters the collider that graph is on, it will turn off the mirror and AvatarReplacement objects , and turn on the AvatarMirror object. What happens instead?
scarlet lake
Nothing happens when I enter
Yeah, turns off the mirror that's by the couch (incase its on so you don't have 2 mirrors on), turn off my wall that says "mirror" and turn on the other mirror
bleak widget
I have been trying to create udon pens from scratch but gave up for the moment
scarlet lake
@floral dove is it as complicated as my time changing button? lmao
first half is toggling some game objects off/on and the other half is changing skybox material
omfg my pen issue was because I didn't compile the scripts after importing everything
floral dove
Ah - yeah, that's an Udon Sharp thing.
BTW @bleak widget - we updated some of the Udon docs today. I remember you wishing there was more documentation: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon
You can let us know if there's anything you want to know more about. We'll have pages on Sync and Collisions as soon as those new features are out.
bleak widget
Ah thank you! I will scan through those in the morning
vagrant coral
How do i check if a transform is null with udon graph?
fiery yoke
Usually you would do a object.ReferenceEquals which is equivalent to the "==" operator (in most cases)
However a Transform should only be null for the protected objects.
And in that sense I dont think you could ever get to that point without hitting a null before. Not sure on that tho
fiery yoke
Objects in Object-oriented languages are represented as "references". An object is essentially just allocated space in memory. The program then points to that space in memory. Thats the reference. If an object points to null (which is a special memory address) it essentially means that there is no object to point to. But it still needs to point somewhere. And that is null.
It is essentially representing the absence of an object.
dark blade
@floral dove the mirror works perfectly but i just dont know how to do toggling. the tutorials dont work and i follow it by the letter
dark blade
how do i get the pens to work?
floral dove
Are you saying the mirror toggle in the UdonExampleScene doesn't work for you?
dark blade
i saw something about compiling? how do i do that? and i can find the example scene
floral dove
It's in the VRChat Examples folder.
dark blade
which folder after the example folder
floral dove
The UdonExampleScene
dark blade
so im in the examples folder but i dont see the udon one. should i reimport the latest sdk
floral dove
I recommend you start here, seems like you're missing some basics: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
Go through that one and the 'Using Build and Test' page/video linked after and you'll be in a good spot to explore the built-in examples.
dark blade
well thats the problem. i think im missing those examples
now how do i compile scripts
nvm found it but now im getting a compile script error
floral dove
Start with a fresh project and import the latest public SDK.
dark blade
can i export my previous project or does it have to be from scratch
floral dove
If you're talking about compiling UdonSharp scripts, you'll need to go to the UdonSharp Discord for help. But I highly recommend you learn the basics before jumping to advanced uses.
dark blade
well whats the errors for
floral dove
I recommend you start here, seems like you're missing some basics: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
dark blade
what visual studio do you recommend
floral dove
VS Community
dark blade
which year
dark blade
ok. i need that for the audio toggling system
floral dove
You can make an audio toggle system in the graph, no problem.
dark blade
now i cant enter play mode because i need to fix all the compile errors and i cant find them
floral dove
There should be no errors in a new project with just the Udon SDK imported. I can't help if you won't listen 😓
dark blade
i imported my previous project and i think its the scene that has the errors. how do i fix that. i really dont want to start over
floral dove
To fix errors, you must learn what they mean.
dark blade
thx
lyric tiger
is there a way to detect if an Interactable object is hovered and not clicked?
Something like OnInteractEnter() OnInteractLeave() instead of Interact
floral dove
@lyric tiger not built-in, you'd need to do it yourself with Raycasting.
lyric tiger
Ok, ty
fiery yoke
Raycasting is exactly how VRChats Interact works. its based on proximity and the angle between where your hand is pointing vs your hand to the object.
distant abyss
Does anyone have an object physics script so I can throw items with gravity?
floral dove
@distant abyss the PickupSphere object in the UdonExampleScene does this - no need for a special script.
distant abyss
tysm!
distant abyss
my items keep falling through the world forever, it was working not long ago but now when I play the scene they just fall forever. Any help?
floral dove
make sure you've got some sort of floor with a mesh collider, and non-trigger colliders on your objects
edgy moss
Hey y'all ^__^ question: I want to have a key that, when brought to the keyhole, triggers an animation. any pointers on what exactly that's called, or maybe a youtube tutorial i can watch?
floral dove
@edgy moss sounds like you want a VRCPickup with a collider. I recommend you start with the docs about Udon: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
edgy moss
thanks!
distant abyss
@floral dove Sorry for the late response, but I have my items on an item with a box collider and none of them are set as triggers. Will that still work or does it have to be a mesh?
nvm! making it a convex seemed to make it work for me!
sour lynx
Does anyone know if i can get Tilt Brush reactive brushes working in VR chat..reacting to audio. I tried using SDk3, but inside VRChat the brush did not react to the audio coming from the audio source. In Unity it works fine.
floral dove
@sour lynx to make something run in VRChat, you need to port it to the Udon Graph or UdonSharp.
Here's some info about Udon if you want to learn more: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon
Udon can access Audio Spectrum data, it may be possible to provide the info that a Tilt Brush shader needs but I've never used their SDK so I can't say for sure.
sour lynx
@floral dove thats really interesting, so perhaps re-writting the scripts that tilt brush uses for the reactivity in UDON.. I haven't used it either so i dont know if it's possible.
floral dove
It would be awesome if it worked! I love Tiltbrush.
sour lynx
Yeah im making a VR gallery called " "Moksha VR 2020" it got accepted to Burning Man Kindlin. I Have a bunch of tilt brush pieces inside which would be awesome if they reacted to music.
frozen matrix
Does anyone know how to make button to be global
autumn scroll
Does anyone know of a guide for Udon which explains the correct way of setting up voice dampening/roll-off?
floral dove
@frozen matrix check out the ButtonSyncMaster example that comes with the SDK in UdonExampleScene
frozen matrix
Well what is name of it there is like lot of different buttons for different use? momo
floral dove
@frozen matrix oops, forgot we renamed it to UIButton Owner.
floral dove
@frozen matrix the Readme.pdf explains it along with all the other examples
This doc and video explains how to Build the example scene so you can see everything working: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/using-build-test
distant abyss
Does anyone know how to add a custom sitting animation on a chair? I tried searching it up but couldn't find anything.
solid cairn
I have a collider that works fine unless there are multiple people in the world, then it just stops detecting trigger enter/exit events. There are multiple of them but only the one the player spawns in originally just stops detecting collisions, only for the master.
Is this a known issue, and is there some kind of workaround for it?
solid cairn
eh, this method of player detection is gonna be broken soon anyway, I'll probably revisit it if the issue persists after proper player collision is implemented.
solid cairn
also, anyone know how to scroll the debug log? a million scrollbars on that window but nothing I've tried so far works...
floral dove
I think you'll have better luck looking through the file of the log itself
You can fin it in something like C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat
solid cairn
I was afraid that was the answer. I usually do that, but testing networking stuff with multiple clients it gets a little more difficult keeping track of which log is which.
Ah well.
floral dove
Agreed. I'll let you know if I figure out how to do it. I made it work randomly last week, but every new line logged scrolled it back to the bottom so it wound up being more frustrating than just checking the logs.
fiery yoke
@solid cairn You have to open the quick menu to scroll the console. Because thats how UI Focus works apperantly.
And yeah there is no way to stop it jumping to new log entries which is very annoying.
inner steeple
Is there any way to generate a random int on start without it generating 0 every time?
inner steeple
As, sweet. Thanks 😄
shy plaza
I'm looking for a way to emit a single particle on interaction. Are there any good examples or tutorials for this?
fiery yoke
You'd need this method:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.Emit.html
Not sure if it is exposed tho
shy plaza
Ah, I see. Thanks a lot
visual crow
So is the Build and Test feature broken in SDK 3.0? For some reason it always loads up and then kicks me right back to my default vrChat world?
solid cairn
@fiery yoke thanks! Jumping around is fine for now, mostly just needed to check a few differences between the clients on load.
floral dove
@visual crow make sure you've set the path to your VRChat client in Settings: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/using-build-test
visual crow
yeah it's exactly as shown which is why I'm baffled
I actually had this problem last night, so I created a new test map. Threw down a plane, Game Object, added Component Vrc_Scene_Descriptor set spawn to 1, ran the collision and layer dialogs, it loads up my world for about 5 seconds then kicks me back to my home world, my Mine world list appears then disappears before I can see anything and that's it
So it appears to be "somewhat" working, but I made sure to use this test map so I could make sure I didn't have any errors regarding assets/scripts
I'm going to try the build/publish route just to see what happens. It's a shame testing it doesn't work for me.
floral dove
Take a look at your logs to see if there's any clues as to what's happening for you. For a know-good world, try building the UdonExampleScene world.
visual crow
Thank you, I just uploaded it and found it under Mine, now it loads me into it in VrChat but kicks me right back out. I'll check the logs and also use the example.
as far as console errors this is all I saw really. Just about to check the logs
floral dove
Those are warnings, nothing to worry about. Your logs should tell you what's happening. I wouldn't expect it to work Published if it doesn't work Built.
bleak widget
I have had that issue where it kicks you back to the home world but still launches the game. It was because I wasn't using the EXACT version of unity that is needed with SDK3
visual crow
hmmm maybe that's it
I'm using Unity 2018.4.20f1 (64-bit)
I might of not realized there was another version I needed (was working on avatars recently)
nope that appears to be correct from what I just saw
I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for in the logs either. I'm using Entering World under the find function for now to see what kicks up when joining my world
The only thing I really could see is when joining a world I occasionally saw this
2020.08.24 11:08:10 Log - [VRCFlowManagerVRC] Spawning players
2020.08.24 11:08:10 Log - [PlayerManager] mPlayerInstigatorIdDictionary[1] = VRCPlayer(Clone)
2020.08.24 11:08:10 Log - Voice DeliveryMode: UnreliableUnsequenced
2020.08.24 11:08:10 Log - [SpawnManager] Not aligning tracking to Spawn because false == !False || (!True && (False || False))
I'm going to test the example scene now
Okay the example Scene produced a considerable amount of errors compared to my almost identical Scene
bleak widget
Those are not errors, just warnings. Errors will have a red icon on the left instead of a yellow
fiery yoke
That is still normal
visual crow
strange
I'm at a loss. I am using ProBuilder, PolyBrush and ProGrids other than that everything else is pretty straight forward
bleak widget
You should be able to use the build and test on the example scene to make sure the you setup everything correctly
visual crow
Yeah, same issue. It loads up then instantly kicks me back to home
fiery yoke
Thats because the SceneBuilder fails to build the scene. So it cant properly load the scene
visual crow
Error - [VRCFlowManagerVRC] Something went wrong finalizing the scene:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
^^
bleak widget
Yeah, that might do it
fiery yoke
Hmm not sure where or why that would happen
Ive only seen it when you dont have a spawn object
but the default scene should have that+
visual crow
it does
bleak widget
If you have two scenes in a project, can errors from one cause another to fail to build?
visual crow
I'll restart and open the example scene to make sure it's not messing it up
lol I felt like I made so much progress last night, once I got through setting it up and getting use to using unity (been mapping in HL and Source for about 21 years) so I expected some learning curve but Unity is pretty pleasant to work in I have to say.
bleak widget
If you still have issues building, try a fresh project with the SDK and try the example scene again
visual crow
I'm doing that now
Pretty much all I'm going to do on this one is Import the SDK> ProBuilder> PolyBrush > Open Scene > Build and Test (maybe it was ProGrids? since it was in preview?)
ooooooooo I must of used the wrong example scene. I wasn't using the Udon one above that was my mistake 😆 lack of coffee
lets try it now
bleak widget
That would explain a lot of the obsolete warnings
visual crow
yes, I wonder if I'm not correctly setting up my Scene Descriptor
visual crow
Yeah, I'm going to take a look at the Udon example to see what their scene descriptor looks like, I just have to figure out what they labeled it
bleak widget
And this one talks about everything you need to create a working world
visual crow
I had spawn order set to first instead of random, so I'm testing that otherwise it's the same.
nope still kicked me ugh...
bleak widget
Are you still getting that same error in your logs?
floral dove
@visual crow I don't think ProGrids, ProBuilder or PolyBrush are whitelisted
floral dove
But I'd only expect that to mean that their components get stripped from the world
visual crow
Hmm so do people generally not use them in 3.0?
floral dove
Does ProBuilder have a way to bake it's objects into regular Meshes?
visual crow
I'm honestly not quite sure, I just started using Unity yesterday so I'm still new to these tools.
well, I should say making worlds
I have made a couple of avatars but I never used these packages
No Exception
{{"error":{{"message":""World not found"","status_code":404}}}}
Error - [RoomManager] World Metadata failed to download for world local:b9df73d9128097dbeffa58c98c5047b41bd71418192c9b8be2f7b1d6b3ba9ff0
two of the errors most recently
floral dove
Yeah, you generally need to stick to Vanilla Unity.
visual crow
Okay so I assume I could go back to 2.0 if I did want to continue using those packages? Because it really streamlined the process for me
floral dove
Any scripts not whitelisted will be removed from your world. Did the UdonExampleScene Build for you?
visual crow
it did
floral dove
Hm - I'd be surprised if they were allowed in SDK2 but blocked in SDK3.
visual crow
Every tutorial I've seen uses them so that's why I was shocked it wasn't working in SDK3
the only one hidden in Preview was ProGrids
Coming from other editors it really makes mapping way easier. Hell just figuring out how to adjust snap to grid was kind of a pain till I used ProGrids
(adjusting the incremental values of snapping I mean)
floral dove
These tutorials were all VRChat SDK2 tutorials?
visual crow
Yes
I might of even seen one SDK3 but I'd have to double check
Way less common to find right now
floral dove
Hm, the whitelists between the two aren't that different. I'll have to try it out to confirm.
floral dove
Will you post a link to your published world? I can take a look later today
visual crow
sure you want the basic example world that I was working on ? 1 plane, 1 game object (VRC_Scene_Descriptor)
It's locked as private? Do I have to re-publish to enable it as public?
floral dove
If it's not allowing you to join it, I'm curious what's going on. You can share the link to a private world, it just doesn't show up in searches, etc.
visual crow
All I saw was a Twitter link to share it https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_8991452e-a4c5-4410-899e-7f81c4f84bbe
so I just copied and pasted I hope that's okay and it works
floral dove
Yep, that should work.
visual crow
cool, yeah let me know if you have any clue what's going on. I'm going to start a new project without loading up those packages and see if I run into the same problem.
toxic tartan
Hi I have a little problem with my avatar. when I have, in unity, the SDK it does not offer me to import it. Help please
visual crow
So I re-attempted without adding any of the other packages and now it won't even Build and Test I just get these warnings
floral dove
@visual crow - those are Warnings, not Errors, errors are in red. What happens when you try to Build & Test?
Warnings don't block Build & Test
toxic tartan
someone can help me ?
floral dove
@toxic tartan - this channel is for Udon Worlds, not avatars. Try #avatars-2-general or #avatar-help depending on which SDK you are using
toxic tartan
ok sorry I not realy now this server
visual crow
Ok so originally I had those warnings, I forgot to change my spawns from 0 to 1. Once I did it built and tested it. Then it just loaded up and kicked me out like before.
@floral dove I forgot to target my Spawn Entity
floral dove
@visual crow - I experienced the same thing when visiting your world. Your World Descriptor had 0 spawns set, not sure if that's how it was uploaded or a byproduct of some ProBuilder stuff.
so no spawns were set in your world?
visual crow
Lol this is why I need like 3 more cups of coffee. My apologies lol
even my other world from last night works now using those packages. Ugh. I am sorry to have bothered you. What a simple mistake to drive me so crazy.
visual crow
yep
fiery yoke
The SDK really should default to itself (The Object that the Scene Descriptor is on)
Seems like an oversight to me
I would report that as an SDK bug on the Canny, but I cant login with my Gmail anymore, because of the recent Attack so I wont.
visual crow
It was the one thing I just overlooked when watching the tutorials. It didn't occur to me to have to set it.
It was really my oversight in this situation
fiery yoke
I recommend just using the VRCWorld prefab
twin pollen
So I am extremely interested in Udon worlds. Do you suggest following the docs (as do they offer enough info), or should I follow a set of youtube tutorals (scared of outdadted/unneeded info).
visual crow
I mean it works now, I just spawn completely away from my spawn point lol, so hopefully with some positional adjusting I should be okay now.
I would suggest @twin pollen following the docs and getting your most basic map test worked out then explore youtube tutorials after that
Thank you @fiery yoke @floral dove
The easiest youtube tutorial to make sure you are not being dumb like me is https://youtu.be/-ema-hdNiB8 this should get you to make sure all your basic settings are configured.
really to the point simple
Then I would move on to others if you want to use some tools to make it easier or do more advanced geometry world building
adding unity assets/textures
Some 2.0 video tutorials will have useful information that carries over, but it should help to give you a good idea of the basic controls/keyboard shortcuts if for some reason you learn better that way instead of referring back to the documentation
On that note, I'm going to fix some more coffee and exit stage right. Thanks again everyone, and also I'm sorry!

I understand SDK
I do AV3 stuffs, so I would imagine it is dragndrop up until creating a simple world itself
bleak widget
Importing the sdk is the same for worlds as it is avatars. There are just a few more things you have to add to get a working world once the SDK is setup
Here is a link to setting up a basic world
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-your-first-world
visual crow
Playing with the world Geometry is pretty straight forward for the most part I've noticed. So once you get your feet wet and don't make a simple mistake like me you should be off to a good start after checking that link he posted out ^^
The only other advice I could really give that might be useful is be careful when downloading assets off the asset store. When you import the packages check to see if any scripts are included because it more than likely will kick off errors if you leave the scripts in
visual crow
Is there a way to change the render distance of geometry in the 3d viewport? I'm trying to select faces on a small cylinder but the closer I get it disappears?
fiery yoke
It is dependant on the size of the object youre focused on
visual crow
yeah the size of this is very small
fiery yoke
Make a cube, scale it to be reaaaaaaaaaly small, then press F when having it selected
then you can move around the scene
fiery yoke
Well thats a little much, but thanks
visual crow
I have a 6 sided cylinder that I could only select 2 sides of the top face from a distance
🙂
Am I being blind or is there a list of shortcuts in the documentation on the website?
fiery yoke
Shortcuts for what?
visual crow
Keyboard shortcuts, Like F to focus (I assume) Ctrl, shift etc
fiery yoke
I mean google is your friend
visual crow
I'm kind of shocked there isn't a centralized wiki for information regarding this specifically for VrChat.
It seems that there is a lot of information out there, though a lot of it is scattered and de-centralized for specific uses and applications
floral dove
Those shortcuts are for Unity, not for VRChat. Here's a nice graphical shortcuts list for Unity itself: https://oxmond.com/unity-shortcuts/
visual crow
Oh yes I understand. That was very helpful. I'm just shocked there isn't a resource that helps bridge VrChat Specific knowledge with Unity Knowledge (I never had a reason too work with unity without my interest in VrChat)
I do enjoy the challenge though.
bleak widget
Is there a keyboard shortcut for the graph comments?
floral dove
no, the right-click context menu is the quickest way to make one at the moment.
I'd be open to making one, though. Any suggestions?
bleak widget
CTRL+K+C is the comment shortcut in Visual Studio. Maybe that or some variation of it?
floral dove
yeah, Ctrl+k is decent if that's open. Then maybe Ctrl+g for group.
bleak widget
Yeah, that would be really nice. Is there a way to change the default size of the comments as well? By default they are only big enough to show like a 2-3 words at a time
floral dove
not at the moment, no
bleak widget
That might be a nice addition. Very low priority though
Or have it dynamically size based on amount of text
shy cave
How do I add jumping to my world?
visual crow
Alright quite possibly another dumb question, is there a way to change render distance for Point Lights? they seem to fade out when I'm a certain distance?
2 in the back left and right
shy cave
I am trying to follow this tutorial but it looks to be too outdated because I can't get even the first node to appear. All I get when I try to add the player api is this menu.
I am sure it's probably just one of these options to create the same node as in the video but I don't even know where to look.
floral dove
@shy cave - the UdonExampleWorld that comes with the SDK has jumping enabled, check it out!
the Readme.pdf that comes with it explains how to modify jump too
shy cave
Okay, thank you!
edgy moss
I am trying to use these electric sparks. It works in unity, but not in VR Chat. I feel like this is probably a pretty commonly used asset, so does anyone know off the top of your head why it's not working? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/lightning-bolt-effect-for-unity-59471
floral dove
@edgy moss - does the effect have a custom script on it? Look like it's got one in the package called LightningBoltScript. You can't use custom scripts in VRChat, that's the whole reason we made Udon. You can try converting it to Udon but that's not necessarily a beginner's project.
edgy moss
thanks so much 🙂 I have a buddy really good at scripting, I'll have him take a look. Thanks!!
worldly forge
Hello i just downloaded udon sdk and unity is screaming at me saying i dont have "udonSharp"
so i am pretty confused as to where i could find it
(i used some prefabs for a kart that might be too old ) does udon sharp still exist ?
solar steppe
Anyone got a good example for a volume slider?
restive dust
@worldly forge UdonSharp and Udon SDK are two different things. Udon SDK is actually SDK3, that allows you to create logic in your worlds using Udon. It supports creation of Udon graphs. UdonSharp is a plugin that lets you write C# code for Udon. It is useful if you wish to write C# code for Udon, instead of creating Udon graphs. UdonSharp is meant to work along side SDK3.
SDK3 can be downloaded from the VRChat website. UdonSharp can be found and downloaded from GitHub through a quick google search.
You mentioned a prefab. Could it be possible that the prefab contains some scripts that are meant to be compiled by UdonSharp? If so, then you need both SDK3 and UdonSharp.
I mentioned searching for UdonSharp through google earlier, but incase the exact download location is hard to find, here it is: https://github.com/Merlin-san/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.17.5
worldly forge
thanks a lot for the explanations
unreal musk
what is udon?
restive dust
Here's an explanation of it: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon
unreal musk
oh okay. thanks for the info. I actually thought you mean udon the noodles 😅
shy cave
I was trying to download a prefab for my world but upon adding it I kept getting these errors. How can I fix this issue?
floral dove
@shy cave - a good place to start when you have errors is to search for them. Google 'UdonSharp' to find the package you need.
shy cave
Oh, I thought the SDK would already have the package included.
floral dove
I would hope that the site that provided you the prefab would have information about needing UdonSharp.
No, UdonSharp is not part of the SDK, it's an add-on made by someone else.
shy cave
Oh, okay. Thank you*!*
solar wolf
Hello everyone 
, so i'm trying to make my first World map and a try to make a pick able object but when i or someone else move it people other than the one who move it can't see it move. how can i make it global 
zealous mason
@solar wolf add an udon behavior component to it and check the sync position box
solar wolf
i dont fond it TwT
solar wolf
Ooooh! i feel stupid xD
zealous mason
No worries =)
solar wolf
i did it but it still dont sync ???
floral dove
Are you using Build and Test @solar wolf ?
solar wolf
no i ask a friend to come in vrc to try
solar wolf
never mind for some reason the check box got reset to "not check" but now it work
floral dove
Ok, glad you fixed it. FYI I recommend Build and Test to try out your synced objects and variables, much easier than asking a friend each time.
bleak widget
If I have a position synced game object and a graph that effects the transform of the game object as well, what takes priority of the position?
tawny island
I want to make a lightswitch which will turn all lights off/on which are in the room.
I already tried my best with U# and it didnt worked like I planned.
Things I have to consider are?
- Switching the material to the turned-off material?
- turning the light off?
- changing the refelction probe?
I tried it with animation but failed ... any ideas?
I think Im thinking to complicated here right?
visual crow
Is there a downside in Unity to duplicating walls as opposed to creating new objects while world building?
rugged garnet
Does anyone know how to get text to show up in the vrchat camera?
still sundial
@tawny island there are some more options. You can maybe replace the mesh renderer by enabling one and disabling the other. Or just disable/enable entire objects. Or maybe change the color value on the emissive property in the material to black
tawny island
The main problem is that I need to adress multiple lights in the room and because the amount of lights changes in every room I cant hardcode it
bleak widget
@tawny island Maybe you could have an array of your light objects then iterate through each one?
tawny island
tried it but it didnt work
still sundial
use layers?
tawny island
layers?

scarlet lake
How long would it potentially take to learn udon enough to make a world?
flint urchin
Difficult to answer that one @scarlet lake
All depends on your capability to learn a coding language.
But basic stuff is pretty easy.
scarlet lake
I already know a bit of C#, does that help?
flint urchin
That does help yeah, just got to be aware of Udon limitations. Things that work in C# might not work in Udon because you don’t have access to the same methods/properties
scarlet lake
Right. So is udon a language that you learn from scratch like C# or is it something that's easy to understand when you already know the basics of code?
floral dove
@scarlet lake https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon
scarlet lake
Are there other video sources that go into more detail than the 3 videos on the youtube channel?
floral dove
That's all that we've got for the official videos, I'm working on more right now. After those videos, I recommend you go through the Readme.pdf, which walks through every graph in the UdonExampleScene
floral dove
Awesome!
We've got a couple features coming in about 2 weeks that will be fun for spooky worlds - haptic events, player collisions, video players
scarlet lake
Is udon about choosing whether to use the graph editor or U#, or do you need to know both?
Because I don't really understand the graph editor too much and U# feels more close to home.
Since I use C#
edgy moss
is vrchat/udon compatible with the unity Director Timeline?
flint urchin
@scarlet lake U# isn’t a official tool from VRC, it’s something Merlin made. Other than that, you’re free to choose what to use. Do keep in mind that support for U# is only given in that discord.
scarlet lake
Alright, thanks.
scarlet lake
Is it recommended to focus more on the graph editor?
flint urchin
That's up to you. Graph will have official support. While U# will only be updated after the graph
scarlet lake
I just have trouble understanding the tabs in the graph editor. What's the name of the discord that supports U#?
flint urchin
Link is at the bottom of the GitHub page
scarlet lake
Cool, thanks.
scarlet lake
How do I make thrown objects bounce
scarlet lake
Also, how do make objects not have gravity, so they can't be thrown, Like they can float in mid-air
zealous mason
In the rigid body component is a check box for 'use gravity', turn that off. @scarlet lake
zealous mason
for bouncy objects, I haven't tried this, but this looks simple enough, make a physic material and apply it into the collider component https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PhysicMaterial.html
scarlet lake
In the rigid body component is a check box for 'use gravity', turn that off. @scarlet lake
@zealous mason I'm dumb, didn't think of that, thanks!
Also that works great, create the PhysicsMaterial, customize the settings, slap that puppy in the collider material, bam, done
One more thing, how would I go about making a button that cycles through game objects?
For like, music queuing
1 click
Plays song 1 (GameObject 1)
Second Click
Plays song 2 (GameObject 2)
Third Click
Plays song 3 (GameObject 3)
fourth click
Goes back to song 1
floral dove
@scarlet lake you can use the'remainder' node - it will take an increasing input number and roll it over
scarlet lake
Heck, i'm over my head with this one, time for googly
floral dove
You could always just increment an index and then set it to 0 if it's greater than or equal to the length of your song list
scarlet lake
No like, I have no idea what im doing with this, lmao im very virgin marry with udon
and scripting in general
floral dove
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, Google / Stack overflow may guide you towards a good pattern for this.
Basically, you create an array of audioClips, and an integer we call the 'index' that starts at -1. When someone clicks a button, you increase 'index' by one, then set the Audio source to use the AudioClip at 'index', which will be the first clip (0). This will work until index is bigger than your AudioClip array.
So to fix this, right after you increment the index by 1, you check if it's greater than or equal to the length of your array. If it is, then it's hit the limit and you want to set it to 0 before you try to use it.
But it you can find the int.remainder node, you can just feed it the index and the length of your array and it will output an index that is already rolled over for you so you don't have to mess with if(index >= array.length) index = 0
scarlet lake
I appreciate your help, I shall put the puzzles together
floral dove
Good luck! I'll check back in when im at my machine and can make an actual graph
bleak widget
Is there more documentation on how the different momentum transfer methods work on a VRC Pickup?
floral dove
Hm, it doesn't look like there is. I'll see if I can flesh it out a bit.
scarlet lake
Hey momo, update on that button thingy, friend helped me with it, found it easier to use Udon C#
New issue, can't seem to interact with my UI 😠
bleak widget
Thanks Momo, that would help a lot
scarlet lake
Like, I have a slider for world audio volume, in my world, and can't seem to be able to interact with it, in my test world
floral dove
make sure you've got a VRCUIShape component on your Canvas @scarlet lake. You can check the UdonExampleScene for an example under UdonVariableSync/Canvas
scarlet lake
There is one on the canvas
floral dove
ah - I know it's a little counter-intuitive, but take your canvas off the 'UI' layer, 'default' should work.
scarlet lake
aight, i'll check up after compiling
floral dove
also - 'remainder' shows up for me when I do a full search, can you verify that you bailed before using tab-search? Want to make sure it's not somehow missing for you:
scarlet lake
We used Udon C# - it works how I want it ❤️ thanks though!
floral dove
glad you got it figured out 🙂
scarlet lake
This is all it took xD
floral dove
haha - yep, that's exactly what I described, just in UdonSharp
scarlet lake
Again, I take no credit, friendo nerd helped
Jesus, something so simple, the slider works now! Thank you very much ❤️
floral dove
a couple things you can bring back to your friend - this will break if you ever change the number of songs., and skips the first song in the list. Here's a fix and simplification:
public GameObject[] Songs;
public int currentSongIndex = -1;
public override void Interact()
{
// increment index by one and roll it over
currentSongIndex = (currentSongIndex + 1) % Songs.Length;
foreach(GameObject x in Songs)
{
x.SetActive(false);
}
Songs[currentSongIndex].SetActive(true);
}
that % does what the remainder node does, which is roll over the index by the number of songs so you don't have to check and roll it over yourself. Using Songs.Length instead of 3 means you can change the number of songs and it will all still work.
bleak widget
Ah yes. Modulus.
floral dove
yep! so powerful. Also, I only learned recently that Unity has a version that works with floats: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Repeat.html
bleak widget
Bruh, that is so cool. I will have to remember that one
scarlet lake
@floral dove Why is my slider reacting to A & D being pressed while on desktop lol
proper oar
btw momo since the song 0 is playing by default making it -1 replays the first song
scarlet lake
I can control the slider from anywhere in the world just by pressing A or D
fiery yoke
@bleak widget In C# % is in fact not Modulus, but Remainder
The difference is subtle, but its important (well only for negative numbers)
floral dove
ah @proper oar - yeah, then starting at 0 makes sense. I was writing this as if nothing was playing at first
bleak widget
Huh, that is news to me. Thanks for the info
floral dove
@bleak widget - I've updated the VRC_Pickup docs with info about Momentum Transfer: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_pickup
This defines how the collision force will be added to the other object which was hit, using Rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition.
Note: the force will only be added if 'AllowCollisionTransfer' is on.
bleak widget
Ohhhhh, it is for collisions. I assumed it had to do with how it was thrown
floral dove
honestly, I thought that too until I looked at the source code 😛
bleak widget
Deceptive naming haha. Thanks for clueing us both in on that one
prisma juniper
Hello everyone, i'm kinda new to udon & i need some help w it, i'm trying to set the UI button to trigger door open\close animation on my map. I wrote simple code w animator.SetBool (using U# (i'm new w C# aswell)), attached it to my UI button but when i launch it in test world it doesn't work :\
prisma juniper
tried it without target.GetBool before - not working
floral dove
@prisma juniper - you need to make sure your Canvas is set up properly, like the canvases in the UdonExampleScene. Make sure you've got a VRCUIShape component on your Canvas, and that it's not on the UI layer.
prisma juniper
@floral dove like this?
floral dove
yep, that looks right. First, add a Debug.Log to make sure that this method is running. If it is, you can debug the value of that bool to make sure you're getting it properly.
proper oar
don't you need to add the main camera as the event camera?
floral dove
@proper oar it's not necessary, though it doesn't hurt.
proper oar
aight
flint urchin
Only needed if you want to test it in the editor. Otherwise, VRChat will replace/add it for you anyway, as long as UIShape is on the canvas
icy gale
Is anybody writing Udon Assembly? That sounds way more enticing to me than a nodegraph.
icy gale
lol
fiery yoke
But nowadays most people "code" in UdonSharp
which is a C# to UASM compiler the User "Merlin" wrote.
icy gale
oh cool!
fiery yoke
But yeah back then you couldnt even do a simple if-else, because you couldnt jump ahead. You could only jump back.
icy gale
oh god
fiery yoke
Well you could jump ahead, but only to fixed addresses, not to any labels
icy gale
i'll definitely be using udonsharp then
fiery yoke
They changed that at some point, but there isnt really a point to it, since the optimisation is so miniscule that it doesnt matter. And the compiler Merlin wrote is really really stable. There barely is any bugs or problems with it, and if there is then he usually fixes them in under a day or so. (Give or take)
prisma juniper
Hmm, still not working (looks like vrchat cant see a button inside the canvas (no white dot when targeting the button )) & yeah i can't test this button in Unity cuz i can't click it (through game mode), but almost the same script for GameObject toggle works perfectly in vrchat (but not in Unity :D)@floral dove
fiery yoke
@prisma juniper Make sure your Canvas isnt on the UI Layer, because VRChat is weird, and that layer makes it so you can only interact with the canvas, when the menu is open
prisma juniper
it's in "default" layer
fiery yoke
And the canvas has the VRC Ui Shape Script added?
prisma juniper
yup
vrchat can see the canvas but not the buttons
i think problem is inside the U# code but idk, same code for object toggle works fine
floral dove
@prisma juniper make sure you've got a graphic raycaster on that object. If you want to test in the Unity Editor, you can select the EventSystem while the scene is running and take a look at the debug info in the inspector
stark adder
Can i somehow get all the objects 1-15 from the Role list object ? Without me having to put all the 15 objects in unity into list
fiery yoke
GetComponentsInChildren of type Transform. However that will include the parent itself. And then getting the actual GameObjects or UdonBehaviours requires additional effort. Alternatively you can use a loop using Transform.childCount and Transform.GetChild(index)
floral dove
Does U# do for each?
foreach(Transform child in transform)
{
}
fiery yoke
Yes
But not like that I think
Actually strike that, it works using enumerators. Which I have no idea how they function, or if they function in Udon(sharp)
fiery yoke
Which one?
stark adder
.childCount
fiery yoke
@floral dove
Okay read up on it, and Im pretty sure it doesnt work, because currently it just turns foreach into for-loops.
It would only work with a "real" foreach, since those contain some compiler magic to make Enumerators work I guess. Gonna ask Merlin for confirmation
floral dove
Ok. You could just try it, too - seems like the most straight forward way to test.
fiery yoke
Yeah, but I like explanations as to why something does or doesnt work, so I can remember it more easily.
But in general I would agree. However I dont have a Unity Project with U# open right now...and I dont want to boot it right now, just to test that.
prisma juniper
@floral dove welp i tried, button is workin - U# script - nope, dunno why 😄
fiery yoke
They do. But I guess not in the way youre using them
which is a little unconventional
icy gale
i printed 1 >> 4 and got 0
fiery yoke
Yeah I think thats just how right shifting 1 works
icy gale
or rather doesn't work
fiery yoke
That is how Rightshifting works.
icy gale
gah got my ends mixed up
fiery yoke
That has nothing to do with endians tho :P
icy gale
yeah you're right
fiery yoke
Its just a non-cyclic shift.
Not sure if that has to do with arithmetic shifting >> and logical shifting >>>
I think those are just for whether or not you want to preserve the signed bit
edgy moss
is vrchat/udon compatible with the unity Director Timeline?
i can't find an answer online
I'm just trying to figure out the best way to trigger animations in my environment and the director timeline is so simple compared to the nightmare that is the animation node thingy lol
floral dove
Yes, you can use the timeline. I believe we've blacklisted the ability to call arbitrary methods from the timeline for now but using them to trigger animations should work ok.
stark adder
What has smaller performance impact ? 15 objects being deactivated and 15 objects being activated or 15 objects changing Material ?
floral dove
there's one way to know for sure, @stark adder - try each one and measure your performance!
stark adder
Tried it 😄 but its very hard to see
floral dove
if you're working with syncing some of the objects, it may be better just to change their material so you don't incur the overhead of different objects
stark adder
lets try that too
Not synced
just local
But i'd say that Material changing will be better anyway..
Because usually its its 15 OFF 15 ON but sometimes is 30 OFF 15 ON etc.. but it would be always 15 change
floral dove
Yeah, generally you have a small overhead from having more objects in your hierarchy. It's a TINY difference, but it's something.
hollow tapir
I have an issue with my world being the same size regardless of avatar height.
edgy moss
@floral dove okay cool thanks. Partly why I asked is because, when I Build and Test using the Animator, all my animations start automatically, but when I use the Timeline and go into VRC, everything is still. So I'm wondering if there's a puzzle piece I'm missing
distant abyss
Is there a way to change the lighting of a mirror so it doesn't use the directional light that the world uses?
errant pilot
Question: Is there a way to have a Udon Script be broadcasted globally to all players once one player triggers it? (Kinda like an interact back in SDK2 days and settings it to global instead of local)
floral dove
@errant pilot SendCustomNetworkEvent has a choice between Owner and All.
All does what you want here.
Check out the UdonExampleScene for examples.
hollow tapir
To clarify my head will be leveled with the doorknob regardless of using a tall or small avatar. How do I fix this?
floral dove
@manolo you want to change the height of things in the world based on Avatar height?
hollow tapir
No. The it's like the world is already scaling to my avatar. How do I stop that?
floral dove
That's not something built-in, is this a world you made yourself?
hollow tapir
I got it from a friend. The scale by default is 100. I also tried 10 but same issue.
floral dove
What scale? Ask your friend what they did, it must be a graph or script they added.
floral dove
Oh, you mean on the model you're importing?
hollow tapir
Yep.
floral dove
What scripts are in the world?
hollow tapir
None so far. I was just excited to see the world in VR so I added collision and tested it.
I did the bare minimum just to see it. I added vrcworld prefab with a spawn point and that was it.
floral dove
Hm, I just don't understand what's going on then, sorry. There's nothing that auto-scales a world to your Avatar height.
hollow tapir
Weird. Thanks for helping though.
errant pilot
Thank you @floral dove . I am going to compile the code and hope it works and if it doesn't, ill need to rethink my code
errant pilot
Wait does instantiate work with that method? Or is it still local only?
floral dove
Instantiate does not currently work across the network
errant pilot
Damn i thought so. Hope yall can get that to work soon 🙂
floral dove
It's in the works but there's a few things ahead of it in importance. We recommend you use Object pools for now.
icy gale
I'm currently using Instantiate to place a 3d tile system, but for some reason tile rotations don't show up in VRChat even though translations do.
@floral dove does anything here stand out to you as wrong?
scarlet lake
How many tris/polys should a normal gameobject have?
I have a metal barrel with about 1k tris (500 polys), is that a fair amount?
errant pilot
That sounds pretty reasonable. As long as your not building for quest, tri's are not a HUGE issue. As long as your not going for 70k+ tri models placed everywhere
scarlet lake
Ok, thanks.
dark tiger
Is it possible to make other players be able to see instances of an object? I made a little gun that shoots instantiated balls, but only the one who shoots sees the balls
scarlet lake
So what I'm getting is that instance is referring to what is being effected and the value is referring to how it's being effected. Is that correct?
vernal phoenix
how do i get particles to show in the mirror?
stark adder
How can you catch when someone presses TAB with who pressed it ? U# Currently no idea how to do that
What event ? 🤔
restive dust
Have you tried
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
{
//do something
}
stark adder
I have not but i dont think it will work but i guess doesn't hurt trying it..
restive dust
Ok I just read your question again. I only answered one part of it. Someone else is gonna have to help you with the exact functions for getting player name.
errant pilot
@dark tiger Instantiate is local only for the time being. So use object pools instead
@vernal phoenix Make sure that your mirror is showing the proper layers. Dont know exactly what layer it is, but the default mirror does the trick on showing particles.
hearty linden
Hey all, trying to get a physics object to play sound on collision in udon. (bonus if I can get it to only play when object it hits is a specific object or set of objects) Is this a simple thing?

@errant pilot. thanks :)

@floral dove Oh yeah that was a simple thing 🙂 Thanks.
trail hazel
is it possible to get the worldspace view position of the avatar the local player is using
i can attempt to get the eye/head bones but sometimes the eye bones are unset and the head bone can have a large offset
fiery yoke
You cant get the "view position of the avatar". But you can get the camera position of the player. Which is the position of the TrackingData of the Head.
pallid yarrow
I'm a bit new to world building and I'm wondering whether I should build the majority of my world in blender first? Or just try and use probuilder in Unity
I'll be using the Udon SDK
flint urchin
@pallid yarrow that would have to be a choice you make. Personally I prefer doing it in blender as that gives me more control
Not sure what you wrote there, but Blender gives you more control, while Probuilder does some for you.
Pros and cons for both.
But learning a good tool, even if it takes a little time is better
bleak widget
What goes into the instance side of the VrcpickupGetIsHeld node?
floral dove
the VRCPickup on which you want to call this method
btw - you can hover over ports to see their type
bleak widget
That is what I guessed. I was going to use the get component but there didn't seem to be a VRCPickup type node like there are for other data types. I had to look in the full search to find it
floral dove
it might just be named different from how you expect. FYI the easiest way to get a reference to a particular component is to drag and drop that component from the Inspector into the Graph. This creates a public component for that variable type that you can then wire up in the inspector.
bleak widget
Ohh that is a helpful little trick that I didn't know about before. I was going to have public variables but didn't want to have to tie in the components because I have the script across multiple objects

i ended up remaking both toggles instead and still nothing
or maybe...test avatars could be buggy with stuff
bleak widget
Oh are these toggles on an avatar?
bleak widget
I think you may be asking in the wrong channel
Yup lol
Try the avatars-3-help or avatars-2 for help
eager pasture
yup there now, they need to rename this channel lol

Is it not allowing you to upload/test your world?

Yes

Oof.

@stark adder - try closing Unity, deleting your Library folder, and opening your project back up
stark adder
hm launching again
Trying build
let's see
But look fine..
Build is taking more than 1 second
Its.. kind of fixed I can't press buttons now
Any idea why,.. ?
errant pilot
Buttons??? Like UI buttons or the actually game buttons
stark adder
These buttons In-game
Also i literally did nothing from last time i used it.. Yesterday it was working fine before i closed Unity.. Then i Opened it today and did Build&Test without any changes and it broke
But cant interact.. 😄
errant pilot
Go ahead and reinsert the udon graph/script. If all else, delete the objects and rebuild them. Sometimes udon does a thing where it just breaks but rebuilding it usually works
stark adder
well wil ltry i guess
nop
Not working at all
This is build that i built yesterday.. This is how it should work
Today.. No changes
Also in Unity it works just fine
errant pilot
stark adder
Yea
Magic
Like what
Also my other Udon script on different object (not interact) works just fine
errant pilot
I had it where my ui just magically vanished. Rebuilt everything and just worked... the code was the same
So in theory, it would work as well. Aparently im incorrect.
stark adder
This is some kind of super weird magic
errant pilot
Welcome to programming. The rabit hole just gets deeper!
stark adder
😄
errant pilot
The only other advice i got is to rebuild EVERYTHING. including the code
errant pilot
Yeah udon is still alpha. So weird stuff like this happens on occasion with udon
stark adder
Building again.. 😄
nope xD
Its just all Interact stuff
All other stuff i try works
Only Interact
errant pilot
Are you using U#?
stark adder
ye
errant pilot
Did ya quadra check that nothin is mispelled
stark adder
i have not changed the code since yesterday..
errant pilot
What if your cat walked on your keyboard overnight?
XD
Fair enough
Yeah your best guess is mine at this point then

shy cave
I created a prop spawner menu but even though the prop prefabs are set as global and everyone can see them, the props spawned through the menu can only be seen by the one who spawns it.
errant pilot
@shy cave Are you using Instantiate?
shy cave
Good question. Give me a sec.
errant pilot
If you are, instantiate is local only for the time being
shy cave
Yes, yes I am. Is that a problem?
errant pilot
Yes. You cant globally instantiate an object... for now
errant pilot
Use an object pool instead.
stark adder
public override void Interact()
{
var transform = roleList.transform.GetComponentInChildren<Transform>();
for (int i = 0; i < transform.childCount; i++)
{
if (i < matAllObjects.Length)
{
var o = transform.GetChild(i).gameObject;
o.SetActive(true);
o.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material = matAllObjects[i];
}
else
{
transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
}
roleList.SetActive(true);
backButton.SetActive(true);
backButton.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material = transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material;
mainMenu.SetActive(false);
}
What is an object pool?
errant pilot
I have never used one so i have no idea.
prisma juniper
@floral dove well i fixed the animator setBool problem, but here's another 1, UI works perfectly in unity but when i launch test world i can't press a single button, how to fix it? :\
icy gale
I'm a little new to Unity, how would I go about adding motion activated lights?
errant pilot
You can remove Public Override
floral dove
hey @stark adder - this room is for asking questions, please pull back a little bit from using it as your dev blog.
icy gale
is there a way to prevent players from casting shadows but still have them lit by realtime lights?
errant pilot
There is an option for shadows in your lighting window @icy gale
drowsy tundra
Is is possible to turn VRC_pickup on and off by say, hitting a button in world?
icy gale
@errant pilot i don't really see anything?
i want realtime lights to cast world shadows but not player shadows
icy gale
maybe i can mess with light probes
floral dove
@drowsy tundra - you could enable/disable their colliders
scarlet lake
Is changing the environment in a vrc udon map the same as in 2.0? (Teleport + Destroy)

Can i make parent move same as child in world ? I am moving the child and i want parent to move same as the child i am moving
hearty linden
does the ToggleGameObject udon script in latest sdk work locally or globally? wanting to make sure my mirror toggle is local.
errant pilot
Its local until you tell it to be global
hearty linden
👍 Thanks @errant pilot How would I make it global if I needed?
hearty linden
Thanks!
floral dove
@jaunty schooner you can change the movement speed of players using VRCPlayerApi.SetWalkSpeed and SetRunSpeed. Check out the graph on the default VRCWorld prefab for an example.
errant pilot
@floral dove Can that work, lets say, when someone enters a collider? Or interacts with an object? Or can it only be set when the map loads?
floral dove
@errant pilot it can be set at any time.
errant pilot
That is something new with udon... Thats very neat
bleak widget
I know this question gets over asked, but any update on the potential timeline for video players and/or the audio rework?
scarlet lake
I'm very confused about UI buttons, I set them to GameObject.SetActive (Bool) and it only turns the object on, not back off if clicked again
floral dove
Both are bring actively worked on right now. Video Players are very likely to be in the next release. Audio upgrades may need another release or two but they're not far out either.
scarlet lake
floral dove
@scarlet lake check out the UdonExampleScene for an example of a working Toggle. The Mirror system has an Udon graph that is made to be reusable, which will turn things on and off to match a UIToggle.
scarlet lake
ffs lol why must nothing be straight forward
floral dove
Your inspector there just sends GameObject.SetActive false since you have an unchecked box.
floral dove
But that box will never change it's value because you're never changing it.
You made a Button, Unity has no way of knowing it's supposed to be a toggle.
bleak widget
Thanks for that update on the progress. I appreciate all the work you guys do
scarlet lake
Oh, I see, there's a toggle version. Of the button.
errant pilot
@scarlet lake If you do Gamobject.setactive(!Gameobject.ActiveInHiearchy), itll set the gameobject the opposite of what it is in the hiearchy, aka, toggle.
stark adder
Can you make buttons passthrough ? If i make it pass through it just becomes no longer interactable..
bleak widget
If you make the collider a trigger, I believe you can pass through it and make it intractable
errant pilot
Is it a UI button or a gameobject @stark adder
stark adder
GameObject
errant pilot
Under your collider settings, check isTrigger
Youll still interact with it, but your player model will passthrough it
errant pilot

plucky tree
There weren't any errors before I imported the SDK??? And then all of these just exploded in :( I have no idea what any of these are
(please ping if replying)
errant pilot
@plucky tree Seems that your sdk didnt import correctly. As it is missing some of it's dependencies. Delete the SDK from your assets folder, then reimport it, making sure everything is checked before you hit the import button
scarlet lake
Delete everything regarding your VRChat SDK then import it again. Looks like you tried updating it, skipping the clearing step which can cause a lot of errors
@plucky tree
floral dove
@plucky tree - also looks like you may be importing several different SDKs in one project? Keep SDK3 Worlds, SDK3 Avatars and SDK2 away from each other.
plucky tree
I wiped all the vrc stuff from my folder and reimported it, and the same errors are coming up
I'm also only importing the SDK3/Udon package 😔
I'm gonna try importing it into an empty project and see if it pops up the same errors
sick dawn
can someone help me with this? i was updating the pictures in my world and then it's not uploading the updated pictures. when i check for errors it said udon is missing but it say that it's in play mode but i'm not in play mode. what's going on?
floral dove
@sick dawn have you tried restarting Unity?
sick dawn
yes
floral dove
ok, good. Next general troubleshooting advice I have is to close Unity, delete your Library folder, then re-open Unity.
this will not delete any of your assets, it's just cached data
sick dawn
@floral dove ok it fixed the udon problem but the updated pictures are no uploading when i do build and test.
the world is not updating
floral dove
Try clearing your cache: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions#manual-method
sick dawn
@floral dove didn't show how to fix the update problem
floral dove
Did you delete your local cache?
scarlet lake
I've got a problem. My world is fine in unity but in VRChat nothing is updating. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
scarlet lake
Ah, server issues. That's probably it.
floral dove
@scarlet lake check the link above and the announcement. You can clear your cache manually, it may help.
scarlet lake
Thanks, I'll try it ^^

How do I manually clear the cache through the files?

edgy moss
I can't get my music to play. I dragged an Audio Source into the world, assigned an audio clip, Play on Awake is checked. Then I added a VRC Spatial Audio Source component. But when I build and test, just silence 😦 did I miss a step?
scarlet lake
@edgy moss Did you set the the spatial blend to 2d?
also, make sure volume and priority is high enough to be able to hear it.
edgy moss
both of those things are indeed in place, but thank you so much for your response! 🙂
scarlet lake
Is it normal for an udon world to be 40mb with barely anything on it?
Mines 35mb and all it has is 2 dir lights, 1 camera, a world descriptor, a small mesh with an animation and particles, and a small terrain with nothing on in.
Created a new world to test. I guess it's not normal. Hmmm...
scarlet lake
This random texture is reflecting light. Does anyone know how to fix this? The diffuse is just a normal png. Any other png works, but I don't know why.
It's the dark texture btw.
Fixed it by remaking the texture, but that was weird.
This is what it was supposed to look like. If anyone know what went wrong there, I'd like to know.

yo I was just about to ask the same thing @west compass asked, it happens rn to me too
is there some type of global issue rn with testing worlds?
does testing a world right now work for anyone else?
uh I checked the world chat under development and they said its a global issue, rip

Alright, thanks for that info. I was hyped to create my first world.

@misty berry VRChat servers are broken, heard there will be a fix in the meantime
publishing a world still works...
How do I enable/disable a gameobject component in Udon?
visual crow
Anyone have any tips for reducing file size of your world? I've already reduced textures down to 512 and Crunched them, deleted any assets,textures,prefabs and scenes I'm not using.
visual crow
Well I managed to figure out what some of my biggest memory usages were and it was some sketchup models I decided to convert to FBX and decimate which reduced the file size by almost 75% so that's a start ^^
I'm still confused why my textures memory usage was so high even after crunching and reducing to 512 though.
surreal flume
Are you talking about ram or file size?
shy cave
How do I add pens that can draw in the air in Udon or just SDK3 in general?
All of the prefabs I have tried so far haven't worked.
misty berry
any idea why my local build & test using an old version of my map?, having to publish each time i want to test which takes 10x as long

File Size
I have another question though. Sometimes my 3d Models get it's Move/Scale Adjustment axis messed up and it's offset very far from my view. Is there any way to reset this or fix it in unity?

it is only me or others too? I made a world and now i started a new one but when i try to build for local test it is just loads the previous world.

erm.. I have no idea what I am doing and the documentation I can find doesn't cover it and youtube vids seem to be on months old version of udon, I have a world and it has an animated oceanic mesh in it, I simply want the mesh to animate in an infinite loop upon the world loading for people, however it does not animate at all, how can I make this happen?
floral dove
@deft magnet you need a reference to an animator if you want to use it with Udon. I recommend you start here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon
It you could just set your animator to play by default if you don't need it tied to any specific action.
hearty linden
Trying to make a radio.music player that will play and change songs for all users when a player clicks it. It works local for everyone but having trouble making it work globally for all players in world. This is what i've tried. I'm probably not using that correctly.
deft magnet
@deft magnet ill try , thankyou hopefully I can understand ^^
@floral dove sorry still not used to discord yet, um, I already looked at those videos, I saw nothing that told me how to do that in them
maybe im a bit dense >.<
floral dove
It seems like you don't understand how to use Udon yet, which is cool, just means you have some things to learn. Those videos don't teach you exactly what to do, but they'll teach you how Udon works and you can apply that to your specific situation.
hearty linden
@deft magnet I think you can get an object to animate looped without any udon. if you drag your animation clip to the animated object in your scene, and make sure the clip has loop time checked, I think it should animate and loop automatically. Not 100% sure though.
deft magnet
I did but it does not play, in 2.0 I had to do that too but I also had to drag an animation controller onto it and then in the controller set the idle animation to the clip for the object, however, you can not do that in udon
because animation override controller cs does not exist
plucky tree
how do i get rid of errors like this??
hearty linden
did a quick test and seems to be working for me with an animated character. not using any udon. When i run build & test world opens with character animated. (though today I need to make sure I delete my cache before every build and test)
hearty linden
yes works in play also
deft magnet
wha? how did you get "animclip" in yours?
are you running udon vrcsdk?
I dont have that as an option
hearty linden
running current sdk
deft magnet
yes but the udon one or the vrc avatar 2 one
there are 2
current
theres vrc sdk 2 then avatar 3 and udon so 3 I guess actually
hearty linden
the sdk3 worlds
deft magnet
thats udon then >.<
so why dont I have anim clip D:
my whole script list is completely empty
theres nothing at all
dense halo
I heard that in the "vuirtualfurence convention" map that menus and buttons were scaled based upon the local avatar height. Does anyone know where I would get that information from if I was making a world? As in where would I be able to find a value pertaining to the height of the local avatar?
surreal flume
When launching VRC in local testing is there a way to get debug logs from my client?
deft magnet
finally got it, thankyou, that was sooo confusing >.< xD
floral dove
If you're having issues with Build & Test or Publish showing an old version of your world, it may be due to a bug in the latest patch of VRChat, and clearing out your cache may help. Find the instructions for clearing your cache here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions#how-do-i-clear-the-vrchat-cache
dense halo
To reply to myself you can get the headbone location of the avatar, so using that you've be able to work out their height if you know their spawn location or even compare to the foot bone.
But secondly is there a way to tell when a player changes avatar?
So I can then change the height to be appropriate when the player changes avatar.
Maybe I could do it thought the setup of the pedestal to tell all the important things that the player has changed height?
floral dove
@dense halo - thanks for adding that helpful info. I'll recommend that you use Tracking Data instead of Bone Data when possible because bone data can change a bit based on the avatar setup, whereas Tracking Data should give you the real World Positions of the Avatar's head and hands. You can get the data from VRCPlayerApi.GetTrackingData
Unfortunately, no - there is no method to directly detect an avatar change, you'll need to come up with a workaround.
@deft magnet - that's the animation clip that they're playing in their animator. Maybe this helps: https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/animeditor-CreatingANewAnimationClip.html
@surreal flume - check this documentation for all the info there is to know about debugging Udon when running in the client:
Here's how to Debug your Udon Projects: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/debugging-udon-projects
surreal flume
Thanks. Also clearing out Cache-WindowsPlayer fixes the world loading problem.
floral dove
glad to hear it!
dense halo
@floral dove Thanks for the tip to use the tracking data, I'm still new to unity and this so working a lot out as I go. I assume that gives you the headset location?
floral dove
yes - the tracking data represents the headset and controllers
dense halo
Is it safe to assume that all objects spawn at the start of the game if in the world, so I can use OnSpawn as an alternative to "Start" or unreals "Begin Play"?
Or is onsceneloaded better?
floral dove
I don't know for sure, I'd recommend using Start, as that should run after all components are registered and available, network is settled, etc.
dense halo
Okay thanks.
floral dove
You can use a Block node if you want several things to happen in order on Start without making a long chain
dense halo
I just didn't know if start was udonsharp friendly in code as it wasn't in the list from the UdonSharpBehaviour.cs
fiery yoke
Start is a Mono function
meaning that UdonSharp doesnt specifically need a stub for it. Which in return means its not in that "special" list
dense halo
Ah okay understood! Thanks.
fiery yoke
So are Update, FixedUpdate and LateUpdate btw
dense halo
Is there a pipeline of the order things happen in?
So I can know if a player will appear in the level before "Start" happens?
fiery yoke
For Unity Events this is it:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html
Good luck getting through that
dense halo
Thanks!
This server is so friendly! I'm actually getting answers to questions, if I'm spamming it too much let me know!

hm...my world isnt updating when i click build and test
its stuck at an older version
this has been happening to me with avatars too and jumping on a vpn fixed that
when i wasnt on a vpn i couldnt even connect to the built world when testing it, jumping on the vpn allowed me to at least load the world but its always an older version of it

ah okay thanks
do i need to put a vrc ui shape script on every canvas?
like if i had a canvas beneath a canvas, does that require the ui shape script? or just the highest one in the hierarchy
floral dove
@daring copper why multiple canvases? Pretty sure you should only have one canvas at top, the rest can just be UI elements.
daring copper
yeah i just realized that haha, i was kind of using canvases like i would use grids in xamarin or wpf to line things up and keep structure, but i should be using panels instead...i think
at least the first result on google told me to use panels
but would that be the reason it wouldnt work, like would the ui shape script break if i had multiple canvases?
hm...just tested it after switching everything over to canvases and im still not getting button click events to fire or the blue reticle
omg...
i already cleared my cache but i had to do it again it was an old version of the world again >.>
floral dove
Yeah, you may have to clear your cache each time until the patch next week.
Panels should work. Make sure your canvas and children are not in the UI layer. You can always check your work against the Canvases in the UdonExampleScene
scarlet lake
I'm still having problems with my water shader. No matter what I do, It's just white in VRC.
floral dove
Does it use any scripts?
scarlet lake
It uses a water script.
floral dove
You can't use Scripts in VRChat - that's why we made Udon!
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon
If you want to use the script, you need to create it in the Udon Graph or with UdonSharp. If you're new to programming, those may be difficult tasks. You can start your journey by reading those docs and then going through the UdonExampleScene to learn how you can put things together.
scarlet lake
If I just just copy paste the contents of the script to an U# script. Would that work?
floral dove
Nope! You gotta learn if you want to make custom scripts. Start with the docs I posted.
scarlet lake
Well this script is about 500 words long so there's no way I can convert this. Is there a VRC ready water shader I can use somewhere?
deft magnet
o.o
SO MoMo I finally got the animation to work xD
but now I am sad because I have a new problem >.< it seems like the sheer amount of data in my map is choking the sdk to death when I attempt to hit the "builder" button the entire unity session stalls to an infinite hang, and If I manipulate memory to force the function to execute to bypass the stall the sdk crashes
floral dove
Oh wow, never heard of that, sorry. Do you get any errors in your Editor log? How big are your animations / models?
deft magnet
no, it never even gets to generate a log, the whole thing dies
my map is a fully modeled cruise ship vacation for furries type thing I been working on and I been working on it for a while now the ship base alone before I started modding it was 157 megs but it has since grown to 1.8 gigs from alterations and fleshing it out floor by floor, I think its the ammount of memory or data the sdk is trying to work with or something, I made it fully functional and it sits in a bathtub with a yeenling playing with the ship in the background as his momma yeen scrubs him with a bubble bath animation in the distance xD, ish cuute xp, but then outside the giant bathroom is another scene which is a city setpiece with the king of all cosmos in the stars... I dont know how much data its putting through to the sdk.. er I have 1.2 tb of ram... I think I might have gotten a little too ambitous xD
floral dove
Oh yeah, you can't upload that, sorry.
I don't know exactly what our file size cap is but I recommend you get it under 200 at least.
deft magnet
aww ;/ ok
scarlet lake
A tip a found out yesterday is that textures can take up a lot of space. Try reducing the quality of textures.
floral dove
You can also break things up into multiple worlds with portals between, but you'll want to reduce the size of each world.

Can anyone help me out?
Is it the way I'm passing in the head tt?
floral dove
@dense halo you're calling a method as if it's a property.
@shy cave you could try making a pen using LineRenderers: https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/class-LineRenderer.html

Hi hi Is it possible to turn off my HQ mirror when i turn on the LQ one?
native estuary
Yes
solar wolf
ok i dont know how for the moment but now i know i can ^^ i just need to found it 😋
native estuary
You just do what you do to the HQ mirror but in reverse 😄
native estuary
You need to toggle the mirror so then you can turn it off as well
So toggle on the mirror you want to activate and off on the other
Then you can press it again to turn them off

in an udon script, how to I get player who initiated udon behaivor (trying to do setowner on object, which needs a player input, trying to figure out what i need to plug in to that)
is this correct?
floral dove
@hearty linden - actions always happen locally first, so you want to get Networking.GetLocalPlayer
hearty linden
@floral dove Thanks. Trying that now. hopefully it does what I think it does for me 🙂
scarlet lake
how do i use the combat system?
floral dove
@scarlet lake the combat system is not updated for Udon yet, you'll need to use SDK2 if you want to use that.
scarlet lake
how did it work on the boxing map then?
floral dove
If the boxing map you're referring to is this one: https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_1e02aa98-d6e8-4109-9803-754a6d3d3ba3
then you may be able to ask the creator of the world @worthy beacon for some tips (though keep in mind they might not be around right now)
I believe they created their own system through lots of hard work.
worthy beacon
hello yes?
am in middle of updating it XD
the combat system is accessible through udon, i wouldn't recommend it atm, after avatar 3 the ragdoll effect was broken. If you wanna force a death animation it might be better to rig up your own by using a station, forcing a player onto it, play said animation, then force the player off, then teleporting them
its somthing i plan to look into on the update after this one that im doing
