I'm right 😉

ionic brook
#

ok

#

so i'll only have to do it 15 times

floral dove
#

15 times?

ionic brook
#

instead of hundreds of times

floral dove
#

Why not just once?

ionic brook
#

becauses there's 15 cars with removable parts

floral dove
#

Ah, once per car, that makes sense.

ionic brook
#

you know what would be cool?

#

if we could do it just once in the world itself

#

is that possible?

#

can i add vrc object sync to the VRCWorld in my descriptor?

#

does it work that way?

floral dove

I recommend you check out this video and the docs to learn about how networking works in VRChat: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/udon-networking

VRChat
Networking

The three main concepts used for networking in Udon are Variables, Events and Ownership. Variables are containers for values - like a number, a set of colors or a 3D position.Events are things that happen at a moment in time.Ownership is the system that decides which user can update a variable, wh...

is VRC Object Sync Global by default? I doont see any options for global or local.

Yes - a pickup needs a collider and a rigidbody

anyone know how to get the suggestion extension to work in visual studio code?

in unity, go to edit > preferences > external tools and choose vscode as the external script editor. Then close vscode and open a script by double clicking it in unity

quartz meadow
#

have they fixed getting the input of the index click buttons yet?

#

the thumbstick click?

grand temple
#

you've always been able to get the thumbstick click of the index controllers

quartz meadow
#

I recall it had issues with one of the two thumbsticks when I tried it a few months ago. Ill give it another whirl though

grand temple
#

the real issue is more about how every controller gives different inputs and not all controllers can be reliably detected

#

so for example on index, fire2 is the right joystick click but on oculus controllers running in steam it's the A button and oculus controllers running native it's the B button

#

and you can detect if they're on oculus vs index, but you can't detect oculus native vs oculus steam

Small simple question, when I have a public array of gameobjects, is there a way to mass select them? For example, I have a tower of cubes I want to respawn with a script, but I have to select each cube and put it in the public array. Is there a way to select all the cubes and somehow drag them in together?

grand temple
#

yes, you can select the object you want to put them into and click the lock icon top right. Then you can select them without changing the inspector. Once you have them all selected just drag it into the array

Trying to fire a custom event, delayed by a few seconds, but it's not working.
Everything else worked when I connected the start event directly to the "for" loop.
Am I calling the event wrong somehow?

unknown.png
cold raft
#

i dont see any errors here, maybe the game inst ready to send/receive events in the start method

#

if you want thing to start in disabled state, you can ofcourse turn the off in unity

bleak echo
#

I can't in this case. Must start with these objects on, and disable later.
Is there any other even that I can use instead of start?
Maybe player join? I'll try with player join, and see if it can fit my purpose.

bleak echo
#

Using player join, testing if local, and then proceeding to send the delayed custom event was a solution to my problem.

unknown.png
cold raft
#

nice

bleak echo
#

I do have another weird question:
Can I test if a user is specifically me?
As in comparing to my user string: usr_e8b2a514-5cb8-337d-5a8d-5466df932db8

#

In the player api I see a get player ID, but that seems to be a different ID

#

I know I can get the player name, and test that. But... I may change my name. ID would be ideal.

stark adder
#

User id can not be obtained using Udon... Why don't ask me it's stupid but it's a fact

#

Player ID is number that starts on 1 and goes +1 for each player that's joins instance

#

So 50th player will have ID 50.. :)

#

Player ID is never reused in the same instance.. if you rejoin your Id before is 5 then you rejoin your ID will be 6 (if noone else joined in that time )

bleak echo
#

Got it, yeah, thought so. I went with the display name, might change but at least it's unique.

Yep, it works, just hoped to make it more robust. No biggie.

Does the player has to be the owner of the object that attached with the script to fire a "SendCustomNetworkEvent" trigger?

anyone should be able to fire events

craggy harbor

#

How does Udon handle the multiple clients for player ownership/trackingdata based stuff?

#

I'm not sure if the Master is getting both objects because they are the same player or if I messed up somewhere.

rancid swift
stark adder
#

No max Player Id is 2,147,483,647 (Integer limit) 🙂

rancid swift
#

Oh. Oh... well I know what I'm fixing later today xD

stark adder
#

🤔

rancid swift
#

Is GetPlayers consistent at least? (Order I mean)

#

(I'm using player id as an offset into a synced array in one of my worlds)

stark adder
#

Not 100% sure

#

I know that each player might have different order

#

idk what about locally

#

if the order is always same or not ? 🤔

#

(Unless they changed it)

rancid swift
#

Hm yes, expected as much

stark adder
#

Because of that I never used GetPlayers cause I rely on the same order for every player

rancid swift
#

How else you doing it? Manually on join/leave?

stark adder
#

I always OrderPlayerList.. Where I iterate though all players and order them by Id

#

Ids are same of every player

# 
        VRCPlayerApi temp;
        bool valid;
        for (int i = 0; i < PlayerApis.Length; i++)
        {
            valid = Utilities.IsValid(PlayerApis[i]);
            for (int j = i+1; j < PlayerApis.Length; j++)
            {
                if (!Utilities.IsValid(PlayerApis[j])) continue;
                    if ((!valid ? Int32.MaxValue : PlayerApis[i].playerId) <= PlayerApis[j].playerId) continue;
                temp = PlayerApis[i];
                PlayerApis[i] = PlayerApis[j];
                PlayerApis[j] = temp;
            }
            
        }

Could def be done better but I am lazy to rework it to be more optimized

rancid swift
#

I see, thanks

#

Not really feasible for my use case, since it can shift when someone leaves though...

Yea that's why I run this both on joi nand leave

I had an issue recently wherein an Udon graph had been functioning, but then stopped, and recompiling the graph asset fixed it.

Is there a way to recompile all Udon programs in my project at once? I'd want to do this as part of a pre-build checklist.

cunning mist
#

If I remember right, the SDK tries to do this itself, but I've seen mixed results on that actually happening.

dapper lion
#

can you have 1 vrc object sync on the parent of multiple objects. or should the multiple objects have their own object sync component?

cold raft
#

The object synch synchronised the transform where you put it so yes if put it on a parent all children will move with the parent

#

This does not mean each child can move individually

floral dove
void ridge
#

Not sure what was happening here, then. I was able to reproduce the issue in Editor via CyanEmu and after building in VRC client.

#

And then I reproduced the fix by changing nothing in the graph and recompiling it

#

Somewhat unrelated, but it does also seem untrue that graphs auto-compile the way they used to on build. I was talking with @brittle eagle yesterday about this; if I configure some nodes (e.g. change default input values in fields) and then don't hit Reload, and then build, the graph seems to act as if I'd never done those last steps. If I then go back and hit Reload, but change nothing in the graph, it starts working. I think this has happened to me at least twice now.

#

Regarding the issue I had with the graph that seemed to stop working for no reason until I recompiled it: I just realized that I have the broken version of that asset file backed up in Unity Collab, and I could retrieve it if that would be helpful. Please let me know if so.

chilly crater
void ridge
#

I've only noticed this happening recently, though. Maybe since about the time of UNU. Which either means it's only changed recently, or just that I didn't notice it before.

chilly crater
#

It started happening I think the SDK release before UNU or the one before that.

#

I think it was a tradeoff. When graphs got too... bloated (or you use groups), it would freeze up whenever you added new nodes or made connections.

#

Does the multple client testing not work with ownership or join events?

#

Yeah, starting to think that.

Totally getting my butt kicked. But I'm having fun trying to syntax DebugLogs into something readable.

Protip: Use the <color=blah>Text goes here</color> syntax for easier readability.

#

As an example, i generally use bracket syntax like so [<color=44ccbb>ATA</color>|<color=22dd77>MyScriptName</color>] {message} where the first part is a unique Identifier for MY stuff (like a namespace in U#) and the second is contextually relevant to the message (like which script it is being called from).

If I set the owner of an item, does that include its children?

Weird, ownership is transferring and the log event isn't firing for that.

#

Nevermind, scrolled down more. Somehow I messed up the cleanup event.

#

I want to Return the object of the objectpool back to the owner IF it transfers back to the owner of the pool when the transfer event happens.

            if (Networking.IsOwner(gameObject))
            {
                ObjectPool.Return(gameObject);
                Debug.Log("HealthArmor script on: " + gameObject.name + " returned to the objectPool.");
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("HealthArmor script on: " + gameObject.name + " OnOwnershipTransferred happened and I wasn't the owner!");
            }

Is multiple client tracking data suffering the same bug as VRC stations in multiple clients?

gonna have to be a bit more specific

I've been debugging my script that updateloops onto your trackingdata with multiple clients. It works on one client, and the other crashes silently.

grand temple
#

doesn't sound like a bug, you're just trying to access the trackingdata of an invalid playerapi

#

use utilities.isvalid to check if the playerapi is valid before trying to access it

chilly crater

Thanks, I'll try that now

With NavMeshAgents, do they sync automatically or do they need to be treated like other objects in a world? I mainly just need to know if they sync their own position and if I can send a CustomEvent to update their behaviour or if it needs to be a NetworkCustomEvent.

stark adder
#

Nothing sync automatically except player voice, position, bone and stuff about player

is there documentation on the NavMeshAgents besides the official unity documents? cause boi i cant seen to get anything to work

cold raft

there was a talk about it on TLX did you see that?

ashen ibex
#

I dipped before the goodbois so ill see about finding it

hushed gazelle

The TLX talk isn't a good reference tbh, because while informative it's a VERY long set of presentations just to dig for a specific answer. It's also UdonSharp-focused rather than using Udon Graphs.

Hey is the Set player node in udon deprecated?

grand temple
# scarlet lake Hey is the Set player node in udon deprecated?

there is no node specifically called "set player" but it sounds like you're talking about the "set" node that is targeting a variable called "player". In which case, no, it's not deprecated. But in order to see it, you would have to create your own variable named player

scarlet lake
#

yes i figured that out , but thanks a lot

primal ocean
#

How would I go about making a sliding door you grab and slide yourself?

wanton oxide
#

what would be the best way of manually syncing an objects' position? because i want to use manual sync due to its insane speed and low latency compared to continuous, and i would need to use a proxy object anyways if i wanted to use continuous (since the main udon behaviour on the object syncs other stuff manually)

#

i was thinking calling requestserialisation like 5 times per second, but afaik it wouldn't be interpolated then (and idk how often i am even supposed to call it to not overload the network)

#

to smooth it out i thought about syncing velocity as well but then i would already have quite some data to sync (position, rotation and velocity)

floral dove
#

It sounds like you're trying to mostly-recreate continuous sync with manual sync...

cold raft
#

on the variable you can specify if you want it interpolated atleast i think that is what lerp does
i do wish there was a object synch that just did position and rotation as scale you rarely change

gloomy wind
#

Does trying to manually synchronize position/rotation and velocity can give more fluidity for the players or is that not worth to try to do that with manual sync?

sage ledge
#

trying to create a button that will activate a portal marker in udon. Does anyone have a tutorial or instructions?

floral dove
sage ledge
#

@floral dove If I create a button someone can push that spawns the portal instead of having a bunch of portals just showing. Using udon

#

I don’t want them up all of the time

floral dove
#

ok - take a look at the MirrorSystem example in the UdonExampleScene that comes with the SDK in the VRChat Examples folder. This has a 'ToggleGameObject' program triggered by a UI Button which can turn any GameObject (like a portal) on and off: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/udon-example-scene#mirrorsystem

sage ledge
#

Awesome thank you!!!

wanton oxide
#

and i need that low latency

grand temple
#

part of the reason why manual sync has low latency is because it doesn't need to interpolate. Sure you could add your own interpolation but that would increase latency

#

but the bigger concern is just that you're flooding the network with high priority traffic

#

and the difference between the two when the network is overloaded is that continuous will just throw data away and keep trying to send the most recent. While manual will wait to send the data you requested, even if it's outdated

stark adder
#

Recreating continuous sync with manual hm AnimuThinku Surely the intended use case

wanton oxide
#

i want to use manual sync because continuous has about a 1-1.5 second delay between clients

#

and in a racing game that leads to thinking you finish first but actually finishing third

#

manual sync meanwhile is insanely fast

stark adder
#

Not sure how happy VRC higher ups will be with you spamming the networking this much lol not even I with my network event caller and bunch other things send that much data..

stark adder
wanton oxide
#

cause my manual sync experiments were super smooth

stark adder
#

And in racing car.. it will be the same even with manual sync

wanton oxide
#

idk if i should do that tho

grand temple
#

let me put it this way... spamming manual 5 times a second is expensive, so If you wanted to reduce the load, you could batch together multiple updates worth and send them together. Then when they get there they get read in order. Not only would batching together reduce load, but also it would make for significantly better interpolation because it has more data to work with.

aaaand that's exactly what continuous is doing already. The latency isn't just magically bad, there's a reason for it

wanton oxide
#

with 8 players spamming at least position and rotation

#

yes

grand temple
#

at the end of the day, I don't know why you're asking. Just do it and find out

wanton oxide
#

but that will increase latency again

grand temple
#

yes that's what I'm saying

#

if you want good interpolation you need to increase latency

wanton oxide
#

i tried it and it worked fine but i don't know if i should be doing it basically

grand temple
#

if you're fine with bad interpolation and you're fine with only supporting like 8 players, sure

#

go for it

wanton oxide
#

well i have no desire to support more then 8 players so thats good :P

#

especially considering i want this to run on quest

stark adder
#

If you mean 8 players in instance max

wanton oxide
#

I know about the soft cap

#

No i mean 8 active players

stark adder
#

👍

wanton oxide
#

There can be 20 people in the world for all i care

stark adder
#

More data being used awhoknows

wanton oxide
#

My networking code isn’t that primitive lol it should handle it without issues

wanton oxide
stark adder
#

Well not for you but for VRC if you care about that lol

wanton oxide
#

If there are only 8 people transmitting data

#

Eh nope

stark adder
#

xd

#

Am I the only one here who is trying all I can to keep the network happy and healthy ? xD

#

I think I'm gonna start killing the networking too I guess if everyone does it too awhoknows

#

40 players all transmitting data will be fun

wanton oxide
#

Exactly

#

40 players

#

If you only support 8 bandwidth is going to be less of an issue

cold raft
#

While ofcourse it's not intended I am intresting to see how this turns out, this could lead to super evil high fidelity sync prefab that the dev team hates. But in the end there are bandwidth caps for a reason, so aslong as you stay below the caps it should be fine. And if you sync position and rotation that is 6 floats that is about 24 bytes + overhead for network transfer it's not a lot of data

floral dove
#

If using manual sync for position yielded higher-quality results, we would use that instead. I just think it's a bit of a fool's errand to try to jam interpolated object sync into manual UdonBehaviours for most use cases. However, you're welcome to try it out and see how it fares 🤷

but the colliders just wont turn off.

i think you may be firing it twice

cus you have the custom event name, and the interact() feeding into the same function

try removing the sendcustom event function on the toggle and just do interact()

Ill try that now.

dapper lion
#

worse case scenario. im like 90% positive you can change mesh collision with unity UI

#

Ok i tried, just having interact, just custom event; none worked. I even tried changing the collider nodes to mesh colliders, still doesn't work.

grr

strange if i untick ison in the toggle script, and i press the button ingame it turns off the colliders but doesn't enable the colliders again if I press the button again.

Does this mean if I use manual sync, call SetOwner(), then change variables, the change will not be dropped even if it's executed in one frame function?

correct

you don't need to delay between setting owner and setting variables anymore

I think the same applies to continuous sync as well

is anyone here familiar with Udon Sharp? I'm having some issues getting it installed and using prefabs that rely on it

tepid raven
#

@agile pond@hollow nymph@last steppe looks like another bot scam

heavy merlin
#

I am trying to make a system similar to how grabbing the putter in Putt Putt Pond or grabbing the hooks in Hook Junkers works.

For that, I made an object pool for the objects I want to be able to grab, and each player that joins an instance should get one of those.

I set up an UdonBehavior that is owned by the master exclusively and also owns the object pool. That behavior listens to OnPlayerJoined and spawns an object from the pool. After that I transfer ownership of all subcomponents in a loop like this:

        foreach (var behavior in obj.GetComponentsInChildren(typeof(UdonBehaviour)))
        {
            Networking.SetOwner(player, behavior.gameObject);
        }

and that seems to work, however, immediately after this I want to send a network event to those objects, and I've since figured out that this won't work, because ownership transfer takes some time:

pooled.SendCustomNetworkEvent(VRC.Udon.Common.Interfaces.NetworkEventTarget.Owner, "AcquirePutter");

My second attempt was putting an UdonBehavior on the object and listen to OnOwnershipTransferred, but that is never called, even when the ownership is transferred. My guess is that at that point the object was still inactive because it was just spawned from the object pool and setting it to active was not transmitted to the other client yet.

Now my question is, what's the best way to do this? It's obviously been done somehow, and I've been trying to think of other ways to do this, but I couldn't come up with anything after many many hours.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!

grand temple
heavy merlin
#

I had a look at that, how does it deal with ownership switching between the pooled objects when players leave? In the readme it says players might not always be assigned the same objects

Yeah, there is a chance that someone will leave and that will cause someone to switch objects. That means you should never store data in the pooled objects, they should merely be a representation of a local object

#

It doesn't use on ownership transferred at all because back when it was made, that event didn't work properly. Instead it will manually fire the owner update event

heavy merlin
#

Interesting, when you say not to store data in the pooled objects, does that mean you shouldn't attach it to the grabber next to the players head so they can spawn it into their hands? Or how is that set up in Hook Junkers?

#

I know it works a bit differently in Putt Putt Pond than it does in Hook Junkers

#

I think when you do it in Hook Junkers you already have it "gripped" where as in putt putt you have to let go after you pulled it out and grab it again

grand temple
#

Correct. The grabbers in hook junkers are local pickups. You can play completely without the pool. The pool just shows the grabbers to other players

heavy merlin
#

🤔 very interesting, so the local pickups somehow synchronize the pooled object so it shows it to other players

#

don't you have to hide the pooled object that is yours in this case, otherwise you'd see your local object and the one that's synced to other players? maybe I'm still not quite understanding how it works exactly

grand temple
#

Yep exactly

#

It's pretty easy to add in arbitrary code to do something like hide the object if your owner is local

heavy merlin
#

I see, that makes a lot of sense, that gives me a lot more to think about 🙂

grand temple
#

You can wait until ondeserialization, that's when you receive synced data

heavy merlin
#

that's for the local player only though, I think. I have something running on the IsMaster player and it'd need to manage some game state once a player joins. I think I can play around with OnDeserialization , setting a value from the IsMaster, transferring ownership and then waiting on the other client with OnDeserialization...

#

Either way, thanks a lot for the help @grand temple! you gave me a lot of new ideas to play around with

#

I come from a different coding background so adjusting to a networked system like this is new to me

grand temple
#

Just depends what you're looking for. If you need game state to change when a player joins, then yes onplayerjoined. If you need to react to synced data, use ondeserialization

I have this udon graph setup to set an animation bool when entering and exiting the trigger. this setup uses a separate gameobject with a box collider set as a trigger. this separate game object also has its layer set to "playerlocal". when testing, this does absolutely nothing, and I'm pulling my hair out. please help

Unity_vTcmb7B46C.png

#

Are you sure that toggling the variable On on the animation causes the animation to change? As this graph seems good I think

karmic tendon
#

I did some testing and the graph is definitely good to go. this cyan emu tool lets me trigger the events manually. it seems to be that it just doesn't work with the trigger

#

but I can't figure out why. it's set to the proper layer

grand temple
#

what are the settings of the collider? What layer is it on? Does it have a rigidbody? Does it move?

karmic tendon
#

it's a box collider set to be a trigger. the layer is set to playerlocal

#

it doesn't move, is not a rigidbody

#

should it be set to static?

grand temple
#

playerlocal does not collide with playerlocal

#

set it to mirrorreflection, that will collide with playerlocal without blocking interact raycasts

karmic tendon

i set it to mirroreflection and it didn't do anything

#

:c

is the udonbehaviour on the same object as the collider?

Could someone explain to me how I would get a mirror to toggle on and off just by walking into a trigger collider, but have it be a LOCAL event only?

This is my graph,

#

This is the result, with one instance toggling the mirror on and the other walking into the trigger and toggling it off, even though it's only supposed to be local.

grand temple
#

OnPlayerTriggerEnter happens when anybody walks into it. But it tells you who walked in, that's what the vrcplayerapi is. All you need to do is check if the playerapi islocal and plug that into a branch

Hmmm, Udon Graphs seems to let you sync all sorts of variables, including components, but udonsharp doesn't... How do I sync this moving boy that is now moving for the non-instance owner but doesn't move for the instance owner

Spawning is synced, but the syncing breaks the moment the thing gets pooped out by the spawner vrcBlush

I*m guessing the best way to deal with this is to use a for loop to always detect the closest player and have the thingers path for the closest player, and have it all be local

The master still doesn't see them moving, but the other player, well. They're glitching all over the place to start off

Probably easily fixed by either moving the pool to another location, or having the navmesh agent have no speed for a second

This is my current graph. I want to teleport a player to another gameObject when entering the collider of another, like a door.

you need to connect the white arrow from onplayertriggerenter into teleportto

Is there a way to detect whether a player is using their camera and possibly even retrieve its position?

The closest thing you could do is have a sphere following the player's hand, then when they grab with that hand (say to grab the camera) do a collision check with the sphere. If the other object returns Null, as does anything player related that isn't the player itself, you've got yourself a camera 👍

Otherwise no, there's no practical way to track the player's camera that I would know of.

Like stated in General, I am not a programmer per trade, and just started learning Unity and UDON (normal, not Sharp). Sorry in advance if my questions are silly or if I don't understand the answers on first try.
I am currentely at a loss, not being familliar with nodes names when searching for them and what should be linked to what else.

The current scenario I am attempting to create is checking if an object_A (rigidbody, pick-up) collide with some specific object ("is trigger" collider). I want to check if object_A collides either with an object_B or an object_C, since both are planned to lead to different behaviors.

So far I figured out the flow should probably start with "OnTriggerEnter" but how exactly am I supposed to track if the object_A it is colliding with specifically object_B or object_C? (also, touching anything else shouldn't have any effect)

So uh, Momo, you said to use Object Pool, so I'm using it now. Works great in CyanEmu, but in VRChat proper, they don't spawn where they're supposed to. :THONKERS: I must be using the wrong method of telling them where they're supposed to be when they pop.

#

SetPositionAndRotation worked fine for instancing, but they keep spawning all over the place with it after TryToSpawn

#

I have multiple spawn points, and you choose the spawn point first

#

And then click on the spawner. In CyanEmu, it works perfectly, but in VRChat proper, it's always been a mess 😂

scarlet lake
#

Okay, got them to sort of sync, but the spawns still are a mess. Occasionally the things pop way off for one player, while they pop in the correct place for another

scarlet lake
#

But they usually still end up "snapping" to the correct spot.

floral dove
scarlet lake
#

Oh right, I saw that there was one but didn't look at it, let's see 😂

#

Hmm, I looked at the Object Pool example graph, and it doesn't seem to say anything about where the object is being spawned, just a timer for spawning?

scarlet lake
#

Think I'll test just giving them the transform at their Start method instead of forcing the other script to move them around

#

Nah, that won't work, since it's not instanced... har

#

I think the problem is that when they spawn, they're already going for the players, instead of staying still, so they just whoosh into a new position as they pop

floral dove
#

The example has a graph on the spawned objects. If you want to set their positions, you can do it on the object itself in OnEnable, or have the owner of the pool TryToSpawn and then set the position on the returned GameObject's transform.

scarlet lake
#

Yeah, what I have right now is that, as you TryToSpawn, it does a SetPositionAndRotation, and it gets the point from a unique spawn point. It works... Usually, but sometimes it doesn't.

#

When NavMeshAgent is on and they start running on spawn, the positions get super wonky 😂

#

When it's turned off, spawn points work perfectly.

floral dove
#

Yeah, NavMeshAgent wants you to move the rigidbody, not the transform.

scarlet lake
#

Yeah, makes perfect sense.

#

Would've realized that in a couple of days and felt dumb, now I can feel dumb today instead! 😂 Thanks, time to move the rigidbody.

floral dove
#

Nothing dumb about learning new things!

robust bluff
#

Well, after 13h of struggle and no answers I figured out on my own what was wrong about what I asked earlier. Lost my day to it, but it's done.

#

Part of the problem was "of course the Udon graph don't know if object_A collide specifically with object_B, B's collider is so small you never hit it to begin with. Just resize it already!"
After that, figuring out the graph was quite fast.
So, don't worry Pelinal, you're not the only one currently feeling dumb. xD

scarlet lake
#

I essentially started figuring this stuff out like a week ago, Udon and UdonSharp are making all this so much faster 😂

plucky hedge
#

So, I added a udon script to an objext as a toggle but in game it is not an actual button.

#

Do I need to add another component to make it an actual button?

#

Ah ha box collider.

scarlet lake
#

loool, I just realized why my pack of thingies weren't reacting to anything I was doing in the code, the gameobjects made from the prefab weren't getting the changes in the prefab!

#

Now they "patrol" and give chase when you get closer.

#

This is a bit annoying when working with this object pooling if I have to populate the pool every time I make changes again and again

#

But it's still faster than change this data individually since you can't just grab the entire group and change it on everyone at once

#

Momo, thanks a lot, now everything works pretty much exactly as I wanted! The object pooling works nicely, the transforms are a bit iffy but that's networking and lag for ya

#

I like it how I can use general Unity tuts and whatnot to get what I want with Udon. Coming from Java programming, this is actually quite enjoyable in comparison.

scarlet lake
#

Hmmm, apparently I'm still having the issue with the spawning. The issue is like, for a split second, the objects show where they should, but then they move to a different spot?!

#

They spawn where they should, but they end up actually popping in a completely wrong place (they walk up to patrol in their original spawn area to boot!), time to see where I have made this mistake 😂

#

Yup, it's still something about the navmesh agent. The thing is attempting to spawn at point x, but after spawning it moves to point y instead...

chilly crater
#

They might be travelling to their previous destination

scarlet lake
#

Thing is, when they spawn, they shouldn't have a destination, right? And they don't spawn randomly, they always spawn at the same spot. I managed to find a workaround right now thankfully, just turn off the component to start off with and then turn it on in runtime with an if clause like a chump

chilly crater
#

Try setting their destination to themselves when you kill them.

scarlet lake
#

Oh, they have the issue that they do that when they're spawning for the first time.

chilly crater
#

hmmm

scarlet lake
#

But yes, for some reason I hadn't thought about that! They might be trying to do something silly since they don't start off with a destination! I'll test that before I decide on just using this workaround.

chilly crater
#

Are they like gliding and spinning?

scarlet lake
#

When I hit spawn, the thing spawns, and for a split second it's at where the spawn point is at, right?

#

But then it's suddenly way closer to the player's spawn. Then it backtracks to where it was supposed to start at

chilly crater
#

Where's your respawn y level at?

scarlet lake
#

Then they start walking around (although sometimes the walk animation doesn't happen, so they look like they're skiing, but that's fine, that's just an animation issue)

#

4.52, while the level is at... Well, zero.

chilly crater
#

That respawn question might not be it.

#

Are you clearing their target when they die?

#

You said they hunt you if you get close

scarlet lake
#

Oh, you don't have to. They have different clauses for different situations.

#

And they roll for their target before they move.

chilly crater
#

So they effectively get scrubbed to nothing when they disable?

scarlet lake
#

Everything is reset, yup.

chilly crater
#

idk then

scarlet lake
#

Thing is, the issue happens even when they're popping for the first time, and the issue goes away if I turn off navmeshagent and then turn it on in runtime.

#

So it's obviously related to navmeshagent doing something silly.

#

Eh, I'll just be lazy and do it this way. 😂

cunning mist

That's a bit more complex, as you would need to grab all players in the instance and set that value for each one of them. And no, volume changes must be made globally as they are not networked. That way you can do things like wall occlusion, so someone is muffled if you close a door to you, but to people in the room they are not.

fading cipher
#

Not knowing how to program is only a problem if you're tryna use U#

#

I think what I've heard from others is if you can't program, Udon is great. If you can program, trying to learn a visual language instead of using U# is like learning backwards 😅

i just need to know what the node is called to give a node a false boolean

A constant false boolean, you don't connect any wire then there be a ckevkbox if it's not checked the value is false

what is the best way to recover a project from sdk death? been having multiple projects open and sometimes 1 another will crash each other, and it looks like my luck ran out and killed one of the sdks in one of my projects. and i have a few ideas on how to recover quickly. but idk if they will work. and was wondering if theres a way to revive the project more easily

Re-import the SDK? That would be the 1st thing to try I guess

#

So I'm not entirely sure if this is the right channel since I don't know if the issue is Udon related, but I'm encountering a kinda strange problem. I'm using a local SimpleAI prefab to have a basic entity chase after a player and, upon contact, teleport them to someplace else. The problem is that, although the AI and the object it's attached to are all local, the box collider that triggers the teleport event isn't. So the moment a player runs through a local AI that only another player is supposed to see, that other player gets teleported. Does anyone know how to solve this?

#

^ That's the Udon script for the teleport

fiery yoke
#

You need a branch and a playerApi.get_isLocal node that checks whether or not the player that entered is the local player

muted siren
#

Thanks! That worked.

cold raft
#

I am pretty sure you can just use player api of the on trigger enter

#

That's the player who entered the trigger,

fiery yoke
#

Yeah no. Then everyone would try to teleport the same player. Which work actually, because you cant teleport remote players, but it wouldnt be what you want...

#

Whats the rule of thumb on when to join objects and when not to?

How do I make it so a clickable object makes you exit a station, and then teleports you?

#

I've tried everything I can think of but it isnt working

#

This is my graph for the button that is supposed to stand you up and move you

unknown.png
#

This is the graph for the seat

unknown.png
cunning mist
#

It might be you have to wait one frame until you can teleport a player who was in a station. The easiest way would be to just set the position of the Station Exit point to be where you want, but otherwise you can do SendCustomEventDelayedFrames for 1 frame and call an event that does your teleporting there.

grand temple
#

if you just teleport the player that automatically kicks them out of any station anyway

tepid raven
#

its not though

cunning mist
#

Oh really

tepid raven
#

it was teleporting me for one frame

#

then I snap back to the seat

grand temple
#

what

cunning mist
#

Is this in Editor or in Game

grand temple
#

how are you putting the player in the station? Are you sure that's not activating automatically?

tepid raven
#

granted, I am using CyanEmu to test this

grand temple
#

🤦‍♂️

#

use the game

cunning mist
#

Phase, tell Cyan to add that

grand temple
#

cyanemu isn't built from the source code of the game, it is an estimation based on what can be observed ingame

tepid raven
#

I figured that could be it

grand temple
#

so it's going to be different in obscure situations

tepid raven
#

But I wasn't sure

#

The seat is a typical invisible block, and when you click, it seats you in the station. The teleporter is a button that when clicked just teleports you to an empty game object that I use as my teleport destination

#

If you needed the specifics

#

So in-game, it should work?

grand temple
#

I have no idea if you're able to teleport the player immediately after exiting the seat

#

but I do know that teleporting the player should auto-exit the seat

tepid raven
#

thats all I really need

#

Its a "vehicle" that you sit in, and clicking the "go" button takes you somewhere. I want the "go" button only clickable if you're seated, hence why you have to be seated

#

or rather, you can only see it from inside the vehicle because it is out of reach when standing outside

#

Thank you for help by the way. I'll report back if it works in-engine

#

Wow, that did it! Thank you!

robust bluff
craggy harbor
#

Is there a specific function that I can call on VRCPlayerApi that tells me if a player is quest user or not?

robust bluff
#

IsUserInVR
in: VRCPlayerApi
out: Boolean
Tells you whether a Player is using a VR headset.

There is this one to know is users are in VR in general, but I see nothing else in the docs.
Maybe check the Udon code of the default portals? Since they make the distinction between Quest and PC worlds, making Quest users unable to go throught them if the world is PC only, there may be some exemple in there?
I never checked there yet, but that's the only thing that comes to mind right now.

craggy harbor
#

Ya that's very weird. It's okay. I have a personal built tracker for all player's information. One more udonSync bool won't hurt I guess.

#

I really wish they had such a bool function to check for this though, save so much work.

fiery yoke
craggy harbor
#

Unfortunately it's a little bit special case here, as I need to apply a value for all participators and I need the host know how many of them are quest users, so I guess UdonSync bool is unavoidable.

fiery yoke
#

Hmm well in that case its tricky yeah

craggy harbor
#

Ya.. all good, thank your for your information.

Does anyone know of any publicly available scripts for player sounds? I'm talking footsteps upon walking, jump noise upon jumping, stuff like that. Need it for immersion sake in my horror world and can't quite seem to figure it out myself.

cold raft
#

I am not aware of such beeing publicly available, it's hard as each avatar will sound differently

void ridge
#

No, footstep sounds are pretty easy to pull off for a basic sound

#

If you're just talking about playing the sound while someone moves; actually coordinating sounds to that avatar's leg animations would also not be too difficult, but quite unreliable.

#

I could have sworn there was a footsteps prefab

#

Actually I think there is one, it's just not free. For sale on booth or something? I half-remember.

#

Actually maybe it's even a meme that we bother @cunning mist about making this

mighty quiver
#

what would be the best way to launch a player into a certain direction with a certain speed with a certain impulse into that direction?

#

(using Udon# btw)

stark adder
#

Don't remember if we can change velocity of player but if we can then that would be best way prolly @mighty quiver

mighty quiver
#

there is a SetVelocity function, not sure how it works though

#

i will probably try and see how it goes

stark adder
#

It takes Vector 3 so it is probably world position velocity..

mighty quiver
#

i see

stark adder
#

So you can set speed and direction

mighty quiver
#

alright, i now have

    {
        Vector3 direction = target.transform.position - blaster.transform.position;
        float fSpeed = speed * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 velocity = direction * fSpeed;
        Networking.LocalPlayer.SetVelocity(velocity);
    }```
however whenever i press the use key it just stops me mid air and i fall down again (no speed change reee)
starting off pretty good already ._.
mighty quiver
#

oh nvm, apparantly the speed was not high enough

robust bluff
#

Ah, yes. When testing that kind of stuff, if it does nothing just "crank the value to 11" to see if it does something then you can calibrate it. It's easy to believe something doesn't work otherwise. xD

I have a strange exception being thrown with this, and not sure what I can do. Code works fine, and the color will change, however the logs won't feed. On second interaction, it throws an exception and still changes color. Color changes after just fine.

#

@cunning mist sorry for the @, its just a continuation of yesterdays talk

#

ya boi stumped

cunning mist
#

Ah right

#

I forget that the playerapi breaks if someone doesn't exist in that spot

steel nova
#

😵‍💫

cunning mist
#

As the first node in each for loop, drag out from vrcplayer get and do IsValid and put.p that into a branch, using that to determine if that player actually exists or not.

#

We basically need to check to see if that player is real before setting their volume.

#

So plug that branch into the flow between For and SetVoiceDistanceFar in both events.

steel nova
#

ill give it a shot, tysm 🫀

#

looks like this still throws an exception

unknown.png
grand temple
#

I think playerapi.isvalid will only work in a niche situation where the object is not null but the player has left

#

I would just recommend using utilities.isvalid instead as that is a more reliable catch-all

steel nova
#

both are throwing exceptions

grand temple
#

these are the two types, not sure why yours doesn't have anything

unknown.png
steel nova
#

im pretty sure I'm on the latest sdk../

grand temple
#

yeah, swap that out for utilities isvalid

steel nova
#

think latest sdk integrated the branch with utilities.isValid

grand temple
#

utilities.isvalid has always had an integrated branch

steel nova
#

point is it dont work still :c

#

this is your node yeahj

#

?

grand temple
#

yeah

steel nova
#

i dont have that in my vers of SDK

grand temple

why does that version not have a branch what the heck

steel nova

thats the img you sent lol

grand temple
#

what was the actual exception anyway?

#

oof

steel nova
#

im getting hit for spam rip

#

dm'd

grand temple
#

ohh that's a totally different problem

#

that's referring to the array itself being null

#

set the playerlist length to the max number of players you'll ever see

steel nova
#

i didnt set the array size omg

#

im genius

#

thank

#

LOL

#

oh it resets the default value after play

steel nova
grand temple
#

that's not how you set it

#

use a playerapi[] constructor

steel nova
#

🙏

grand temple
#

hold ctrl while dragging in playerlist from your variables

#

playerapi[] set node will set a specific index in the array, that's not what you want. You want to set the whole thing

steel nova
#

ahh perfect. appreciate the help

cunning mist

Glad to hear you got it figured out 👍
Yeah the whole "IsValid" check for player apis is a bit dumb lol

Possible to access the clipboard in Udon? for example pasting a URL for a video player is a pain in VR 😛

#

better example would be:

- open SteamVR, load up YouTube and copy the URL
- go back into VRC, press a button that reads the clipboard and loads the video
floral dove
#

no, VRChat cannot read your clipboard.

fiery yoke
#

Well VRChat could (I think). But Udon cant :P

floral dove
#

Correct, we could put in functionality to do that, but we haven't, and we don't have plans to do that as it would be a major security issue.

fiery yoke
#

not so much security, but more so privacy I think

acoustic vale
#

My current solution at the moment is setting up a gesture in OVR toolkit to perform a Ctrl+v but it's a bit meh

floral dove
#

Most systems involving copy+paste are a kludge to a better solution, IMO

#

I'd rather solve for a better way to load data than try to make copy + paste function between VRChat and outside apps

fiery yoke
#

I think in this case there isnt really much of a better solution. Loading videos into VRChat in VR is just never gonna be nice. Unless you have a complete browser in VRChat, but we all know what that leads to. The only other half reasonable solution I could see would be to implement a virtual desktop and keyboard in VRChat, so you can see your monitor(s) in VRChat at realtime. Which wouldnt actually be too crazy, since thats essentially what XSOverlay is doing already in Unity. But that would be quite an enormous project.

floral dove
#

Typing is generally bad in VR, every implementation is trying to take an old-school physical experience and roughly replicate it in VR. For loading videos, I think a better solution would involve a way to more easily find and load the videos you want. As the world creator, you can do this by creating a default playlist or even browsable / searchable library of clips.

fiery yoke
#

Hmm I really dont think there is a general solution to this problem other than an entire browser or a virtual desktop implemented into VRChat. But thats just my opinion, maybe there is a reasonable way to get around the problem of getting videos into VRChat. I mean with tools like XSOverlay, it really isnt that much of a bother. Just a little annoying if youre the host of a watch party marathon and you have to do it over and over again

#

And the Ctrl+V also muting you bug is still a problem, even tho it has been marked as resolved in canny

acoustic vale
#

Something cool i did want to try was creating physical VHS cases for youtube videos / playlists and have the players browse and actually grab the content they want to watch

fiery yoke
#

Why is "V" even the mute and unmute button. Why not M? 😂

grand temple
#

V is for voice and also near to WASD

fiery yoke
#

Hmm, but its also used as a control key in copy pasting, which makes it a bad choice imo.

grand temple
#

M would be very awkward to press without lifting your hand

fiery yoke
#

Hmm yeah. Im really just mad that I cant really rebind it.

grand temple
#

the key shouldn't matter if all input was blocked while an inputfield is selected. I wonder if that's possible without just manually checking every single inputfield every frame

fiery yoke
grand temple

nice. Might take a look if I have time

floral dove

or can I only animate the post process weight?

#

So I should put the bloom on a separe post process instance and then animate the weight maybe?

dire trellis
#

Ayy I got it working, thanks a lot!

acoustic vale
#

Anyone know how I would get a variables contents from another UdonBehaviour?

#

But if youre using UdonSharp then you can simply use normal C# syntax.

But since youre asking here and not in Merlin's discord, I assume youre not :)

Messing with both tbh

Will we ever get a userId exposed to Udon.. Like we really need a way to identify user for example moderators, people that have access to some special stuff or similar in our world without use of displayName

dapper lion
#

someday

stark adder
#

idk like its easy addition so why is it not added already if they'd plan on adding it :/

floral dove
stark adder
# floral dove what issue do you have with using displayName?

uh..
dots, commas and some unicode stuff.. + another MAIN problem is when you have I think if I remember correctly I have 100+ people ? in a array its the name change.. :/

To explain what I mean by dots, commas.. VRChat replaces dots with this "․"

#

Actually.. Idk what's worse awhoknows dots are also really bad its so often that I have problem with it but name change also annoying..

floral dove
#

if you get a user's displayName and then check against that name - does that not match regarding dots, etc.?

stark adder
#

no

#

if I try "․Lily UwU" == ".Lily UwU" It didn't work

grand temple
#

once you have their name in vrchat you can store it and compare it to the name in vrchat later. You mean you can't just type it up because some characters change

#

copying it from the website should also work, no?

dapper lion
#

the website does caps only

stark adder
#

Yes I have to copy from VRCX only.. No otherway literally

floral dove
#

storing lists of displayNames to check against later is not something we officially support. If this doesn't work, please file a canny for it:

string name = thatPlayer.displayName;
bool isSamePlayer = thatPlayer.displayName.CompareTo(name) == 0
fiery yoke
#

Couldnt you do that replacement in your data as well and then this problem is solved at least?

stark adder
stark adder
grand temple
#

The website name gives the one dot leader so you could just do websiteName.ToLower() == storedName.toLower()

#

I'd prefer to take capitalization out of the case no matter what anyway, you never know what could happen there

stark adder
stark adder
grand temple
#

I doubt it, that would be unusual

fiery yoke
#

Then you could have n ^ 2 people with the "same" name.

PhAsEdRaGoN

stark adder
#

yea

fiery yoke
#

Because VRChats font is capitalized. So yeah I dont think you can do that.

stark adder
#

Yea probably.. But capitalization is not a problem that much anyway.. What is actually the reason behind not exposing userId.. ? Like awhoknows you can do the same with displayname technically but worse

dapper lion
#

that sounds jank

stark adder
#

Also another problem I kinda run into with the displayNames is that I am downloading them from outside so that is also fun cause I can only get UTF-16 as of right now.. will have to rework that for UTF-32 that would also kinda be solved with userId but awhoknows this is not a valid reason I guess :/

Anyone know if it's possible to change the resolution of an UdonSyncPlayer (AVPro) video player in runtime?

dire trellis

#

Also tried with 480p etc., but 144p would be most obvious to spot the difference

stark adder
#

Should I try and make canny for Udon UUID ? Momo ? Is there point in trying ? For me I think I can solve it easily by just adding UTF-32 support and dot and comma fixer for my outside-to-VRChat convertor but could still be useful for other use-cases.. And UserIds are safe hidden from us

# floral dove what's the issue with the input system?

ah ok, so cross-platform oculus button0 and 2 are the right menu triggers in vr right. well its the mute and right jump button for quest users. and ive been letting this go for like...... 7 months now? and i thought itd be time i fix it since the accuracy between them follow 2 seperate docs, which is why i never did the canny because "2 docs" meaning they both are accurate.... just 2 of them lol

#

there was a doc that explaned the actualy quest functions. idk where it went

#

this is why i was wanting to know if that "is quest = true" kind of existed so i can swap out the inputs

i think that was the 1 i was following

ill probs just make a world that does something per input to accurately figure it out

@dapper lion - are you doing something not covered by https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/input-events ?

Input Events

dapper lion
#

lemme check

#

yep

#

so like the input spread sheet was pretty accurate and i thought shouldve translated well into quest

floral dove
#

what's the problem you are trying to solve?

dapper lion
#

ok, so pc = qc

left menu buttom = mute button
right menu button = jump button
pc = qc

#

current issue: i want qc to have the same menu triggers basaically

#

or at very least just be able to swap the inputs to the proper inputs without manually swapping

#

you know what i mean?

#

cus technically, according to the quest layout format, it is technically correct, but pc = qc retrospect. it technically "isnt"

floral dove
#

but what are you trying to do?

dapper lion
#

idk, its been 7 months, i think most of my quest audience has gotten use to the mute button maybe

#

so i have a ui system for most of my worlds in order to operate. and basically in a script, i have vector and some math go in for a pivot to spawn a object/canvas with all the world controls. thats the use case rn

#

trigger = something spawns in front of you + hit trigger again = something despawns

#

i basically want corresponding triggers between pc and qc

#

thats what i want, and want to do currently

floral dove
#

If you want easy "Trigger" on PC and Quest, you can use the "InputUse" event.

#

not sure what you mean by "qc"

dapper lion
#

quest compatible

#

wait, so why not the "input getkeydown" node. thats what i did in graph. same logic in udon sharp. how does inputuse differ?

What’s this Udon thing anyways? 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 “no...

What does your teleporter graph look like?

if i'm ever going to understand udon, do I need to learn C# then come back to udon? There's not many tutorials out there and the ones that exist don't explain the what and why behind the nodes. I want to learn how to create some slightly randomized animations activated by udon, is the only place to learn this first looking up C# animation tutorials?

I personally went in with no prior C# knowledge. From my experience, Udon is something that requires people and places to ask questions, as you likely will not be able to learn it 100% by just trying things out on your own. However, there's plenty of people here on Discord to answer questions when you might have some, and the documentation for Udon has been getting more and more robust over the last year. If you want some bare bones tutorials, I can link some that I've worked on to help you get started, though I don't have anything specifically on random actions.

Thank you two, and thanks for the tutorials and info you've created on udon. It's just daunting when i follow along with a tutorial and type in a command to sift through 400 other commands that I have no idea what they do, I feel like there's gotta be some sort of repository of info im missing but I guess it really is just the knowledge base here of questions and testings

Most of the stuff in Udon is just stuff in Unity's C# documentation, so looking up stuff there should give you a good description of what something does without having to learn how to actually type out any of the code. That being said, welcome to programming. You will never feel like you understand more than half of what you have access to lol

Here is content that gave me a boost into Unity with existing C# experience. You can also easily learn C# as there is a ton of available content on Youtube.

Unity Learn: https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer (And it's free!)
Microsoft's Learn C# Courses(Free!) https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/csharp

Keep in mind you'll use C# to write in U#(Same paradigm but it's converted to Udon ByteCode just like how Udon Graph compiles into ByteCode which is ran by VRChat's Udon Virtual Machine that literally externs C# functions within the Unity Engine(Whew!)

They extern functions they deem safe and appropriate that should run on VRChat clients to prevent malicious actions by creators and it gives VRChat an opportunity to make a node graph based programming logic instead of writing actual code to make logic in maps.

I started with modding(NOT VRCHAT) with Empyrion Galactic Survival which is a space building simulator that also uses Unity. What a fun trip lol

Hello I am looking for anyone that can help me out figure out why this is happening I download pool table udon prefab, and soon as I imported I get nothing but errors, I'm guessing it's because I updated SDK if anyone can help me out of fixing that issue that'd be great

dawn forge
#

@dapper finch Can you please provide a screenshot of the errors? Also I believe the pool table requires UdonSharp to be loaded

dapper finch
#

Yes

#

I put udon sharp in there even udon sharp gives me errors

looks like you've included UdonSharp in the wrong spot. Please refer to the UdonSharp documentation to install it according to the instructions - I don't believe you should have a second Assets folder in there.

Hai ai everyone, I need to change this on a lot (I mean like really much) objects, Is there a way to change for everything? Doing it manually would take me days!

I am not sure if editing this is posable in multiselect

#

But if you have That many udon behaviours that it will take days, the kudos to you for making your world still perform properly

#

Also if your behaviour doesnt sync any variables it's not proven to have any effect

#

you can put the UdonBehaviourSyncMode attribute on the class, look at the GlobalToggleObject script for an example of it

is there a way to create a avatar pedastool without the image popup

void ridge
#

well I guess technically no, maybe. But what you probably want is possible

#

You can create a button that remotely activates an avatar pedestal, which you can hide somewhere

#

I believe you want VRCAvatarPedestal.SetAvatarUse

unknown.png
#

That uses a reference to an avatar pedestal (with an image) that needs to exist somewhere, but like I said, it can be hidden

#

Actually that pedestal probably doesn't even need to be an enabled gameobject 🤔 haven't tested that

frozen bobcat
#

ah i see that makes since

#

okay

#

one more question can i make some object pop up when player gets close to something

cold raft
#

Most certainly posable, I assume you need the update node and then compare position of local player with the game object if it's smaller than a certain value then set the popup enabled

#

Or just use a Trigger Collider with OnPlayerTriggerEnter

cold raft
#

True, sometimes i am to creative for my own good

ah ok sry

vagrant schooner
#

how would i make it so if someone had a specific name then something would happen to just them?

#

(if name = The Soup is true, then game object would be toggled on)

cold raft
#

so the vrcplayerapi lets you get the name and you can check with a branch node if it equals something and then do a setactive on a gameobjectg

vagrant schooner
#

would the get player id work?

#

(im fine with using player id's)

cold raft
#

i never bothered to check playerid's so i am not sure if they are globally unique

vagrant schooner
#

ill try it, but what do i connect it to?

cold raft
#

to a branch

#

well no my bad

#

so a branch takes a boolean and either takes the true or false path depending if the boolean is true of false so you need to turn that int into a boolean by comparsation like if the value == 1337

Player ID is a temporary number they get based in the order in which they joined the world
