udon-general

[dawn forge]

I will follow both of your feedback, thank you!

[wind atlas]

Yeah, as TheHelpfulHelper said, most card systems are just interact -> spawn card, because that's the actual lazy way to do it :P

Imagine handling 30 physics objects colliding with each other.

[twin hedge]

Hmm, I've trying to figure out how to make a jumpscare. It's just simple. I want the player to walk through the trigger collider and the scary thing suddenly pops up for a second and disappears. I tried to use the same setup I've used on other trigger collider from last night, but it just stays on.

[grand temple]

You can use sendcustomeventdelayed in order to turn it off after a moment. Or you can use an animator to do the thing and then disable itself or move it out of the way, whatever you want

You'll probably also want to set a bool "activated" to true, then whenever you receive onplayertriggerenter if it's already true don't do anything, because you don't want it to happen twice

[twin hedge]

right, thank you

[autumn birch]

Is there a material swap node for swapping materials on an object on interact or is it only possible via animation?

[grand temple]

yeah, you can do that. I believe it's meshrenderer.material

[autumn birch]

yeah I found it but still trying to figure out how to set it up

[grand temple]

make a public material variable

set the meshrenderer's material to that

[autumn birch]

I don't know how to make it target a specific material because you can't drag and drop materials into the graph

[grand temple]

that's what the public variable is for, yes

when you do that, it will show up in the inspector for the udonbehaviour. You can drag and drop there

[autumn birch]

this is going to be local and not synced so should it be a public material variable?

[grand temple]

public does not mean synced

those are two separate checkboxes

public just means it will show up in the inspector

[autumn birch]

what is "public material variable" under?

[grand temple]

add a new variable with the plus button

search for material

then after it is added, open the dropdown and enable public

[autumn birch]

oh that, my mistake

There isn't an option to select on any of the meshrender.material nodes to enable public I can find

[grand temple]

meshrenderer.material isn't public, that's the node you use to set the material

the variable is called material

the node is called meshrenderer set material

[fading cipher]

Does anybody know who made the Luna Dash game in VRC?

[night viper]

The 2D game from the jam? That would be me

[fading cipher]

Hiya, just wanted to say my friends and I loved the game and we're super interested in what you plan to do with it moving forward...

[wanton oxide]

I was actually surprised when i saw that, haven't seen anything on discord anywhere about it yet but its like super polished 👌

[fading cipher]

Is this just a game you've already been working on and plan to push to Steam at some point? I saw it's the demo and there are greyed out sp and mp buttons- does that mean the full version of the game will end up on VRC at some point, or is this an actual game you plan to release on other platforms in the future and figured you'd just port to VRC for the heck of it?

[night viper]

Thank you! This was made for vrchat specifically for the jam. I dont have experience writing codes in C#, it was all made with udon graphs. It was more of a learning project I did to learn both about udon and 2D in general. I dont have plans on making it a real game for steam, at least not right now. I did added a multiplayer feature and an extra level that will be added when the new vrc update goes live, but I think that is all for this project. IM glad you liked the game!

[wanton oxide]

WAT you did it in udon graph?

ok respect for that lol

i guess it proves that you can do a lot with graph

[void sandal]

Im not that good with udon but how can you make a background music playlist?

[fallen chasm]

Question: Does SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds send a network event, or do you need to connect it to a SendCustomNetworkEvent?

Just wondering if this is redundant^

[grand temple]

no, those are two completely separate things

and just connecting them together like that won't make a networking event be delayed. It will just make a delayed event and then it will make a separate networked event

anything that happens along the white flow happens instantly. A delayed event does not pause flow. Instead, it queues up an event to be called later

[fallen chasm]

my goal is to send the event twice, but with a five second delay

I've been having a lot of desync issues in the last few weeks...

figured this might help

[grand temple]

then you need to make a new custom event which will receive the delayed event, then do a networked event

right now it will just do two networking events simultaneously

[fallen chasm]

ok... I used to have two separate events, but it seemed like it wasn't doing any good

I'm still not clear on whether or not SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds is a network sender

[grand temple]

it's not

oh god don't do that

[fallen chasm]

😮

[grand temple]

you're going to create a feedback loop

[fallen chasm]

yes... I just realized

this is closer to my original one, but I was branching out of the custom event into the delay node instead of using a block

[grand temple]

putting a "SendCustomEventDelayed" node in the middle of flow does not pause the flow

[fallen chasm]

cleaned it up

so, this only sends the one time, and the delayed node doesn't pause anything -- Is there anything I can do to make this more desync proof?

[grand temple]

wait wait wait..... you want to send two network events, separated by 5 seconds, and the only reason why is because you want it to not desync?

[fallen chasm]

well, when you put it like that, I sound crazy XD

[grand temple]

just use manual sync

set the bool and requestserialization if the bool changes

you're currently doing a network event on update, that's going to flood the network

you only need to sync when something changes

[fallen chasm]

I'm sorry if I keep asking dumb questions -- I don't have a strong understanding of serialization in the context of udon

I set the script to manual and dropped this node in there

[grand temple]

network event isn't necessary if you're using manual sync

[fallen chasm]

does that include late joiners?

[grand temple]

manual sync is very simple: you take ownership, you set the variable, you requestserialization. Then when other people receive ondeserialization, they have the updated variable

however, there are some tricks you can use to make it more efficient. For example, you could use OnVariableChanged to automatically apply the changes to the animator when the variable changes for any reason

[fallen chasm]

~still wrapping my heard around this

so no need to send a network event... this does request serialization after the bool is set

do other people get the 'ondeserialization' automatically, or is there another node setup for that?

I'm not finding any 'OnVariableChanged' nodes via the search

jeez... my world has a handful of these continuous sync'd scripts... I wonder if I'll see a notable improvement after reworking these

[grand temple]

if you are the owner and you do requestserialization, they will receive ondeserialization

[void sandal]

I still have a question on hold

[grand temple]

onvariablechanged isn't a node you search for, you have to hold ctrl while bringing in a node

[grand temple]

Get a video player you like and set it to auto-play

[grand temple]

You'll need to have a synced bool. Set that instead of the animator. Then in the onvariablechanged, that's where you set the animator bool to match the synced bool

[fallen chasm]

I'd second that, here's the one I use: https://architechvr.booth.pm/items/2536209

ah, mean to reply to @void sandal ^

that?

seems like it's unrelated

[grand temple]

no, not in the animator

totally unrelated

make a bool in the udonbehaviour

[grand temple]

yep

[fallen chasm]

this feels like progress!

[grand temple]

If you use onvariablechanged, you don't need to use ondeserialization

[fallen chasm]

that's the one I'm having a hard time finding

[grand temple]

hold ctrl while dragging the boolean in

[fallen chasm]

sourcery!

not sure if that's where it goes, but I'm logicing this out...

would the update plug into this?

[grand temple]

no, you want animator setbool to happen when the variable changes

[fallen chasm]

[grand temple]

that's not an onvariablechanged

[fallen chasm]

I don't understand how to do that

[grand temple]

oh sorry I said the wrong thing, it's alt not ctrl

but look there's a tooltip

[fallen chasm]

oh my god

it even said it

this is promising

[grand temple]

yep

[fallen chasm]

is that... it?

[grand temple]

no, you need to either take ownership or check to make sure you're not the owner

What is target1 and target2? Are those pickups?

[fallen chasm]

one of them is a pickup, the other is stationary

the pickup has the script

[grand temple]

so then what you want to do is check who the owner of target1 is

[fallen chasm]

(script is on Prop.Key.Blue)^

[grand temple]

you need to combine multiple things together with a boolean conditional AND node.

If you are the owner of target1
If the distance calculation is true
If the bool isn't already true

take ownership, set value, requestserialization

right now, everybody in the world will try to requestserialization, which will do nothing if they're not the owner except spam their log

and in addition, if you are the owner, it's doing it on update which is a waste of bandwidth

[fallen chasm]

this is getting complicated again O.o

but these noodles fill me with determination

[grand temple]

no, you don't want to use the distance calculation in the onvariablechange. How else would you change it?

[fallen chasm]

ah

I've got pieces

but a lot of confusion about how to wire them up

[grand temple]

you want to check in update for whether or not the variable should change

[fallen chasm]

like... event update?

[grand temple]

yeah, same as you had before

[fallen chasm]

I thought we wanted to get rid of that 😮

oh... I had a mild epiphany

like... the owner has a bool set

and on update, the boolean change checks everyone else against them?

[grand temple]

no, the purpose isn't to compare with the other players

the purpose is to check whether or not you want to actually change it

if you do, then take ownership, set the variable, requestserialization

[grand temple]

when I say "set the variable" I'm talking about the udonbehaviour's bool, not the animator

you need to set the udonbehaviour bool because that's the thing that can be synced

[fallen chasm]

is it right up to the break?

[grand temple]

yeah that's the right idea, though you need to check more before committing to changing the bool. Also you need to take ownership of this object, not target1

you only want to do this if you are already the owner of target1

[fallen chasm]

what if I don't set a 'target1' at all? -- I mean that'll always be the object I put the script on

[grand temple]

for setowner? yes, you can leave that blank it will default to itself

[fallen chasm]

so if the object with the script is 'self' doesn't a SetOwner negate the need to check?

[grand temple]

no, because update runs for everyone

but you only want the owner of target1 to do this

[fallen chasm]

oh jeez, you're right

seems a tad stringy, but I think I have it

[grand temple]

you don't need multiple branches, you can combine bools together with conditional and

[fallen chasm]

still pretty stringy XD

I'll have to clean it up later... still in 'make it work' mode

does anything plug into the 'instance' node on requestSerialization?

[grand temple]

no

just like setowner, it will self reference

that applies to udonbehaviours, gameobjects, and transforms

[fallen chasm]

I did plug VRCPlayerAPI into SetOwner -- should I not?

[grand temple]

VRCPlayerAPI does not self reference, so you need to plug in localplayer, yes

[fallen chasm]

I think I need an islocal check -- is the rest of that ok?

[grand temple]

setowner of this object, not target1

[fallen chasm]

so kill that blue line

[grand temple]

yeah

[fallen chasm]

~done

[grand temple]

also add requestserialization after changing the variable, not in the onvariablechange. If you do it on people who are not the owner it will just cause log spam

and make sure you don't do anything in update if the bool is already true

[fallen chasm]

the worst kind of spam :V

[grand temple]

alternatively, you could check if you're the owner in onvariablechanged

[fallen chasm]

here's where it's at -- I'm not sure how I'd go from the onVariableChanged into isOwner

is that important?

(I'm also assuming you mean Boolean Change there?)

[grand temple]

yeah, I mean onvariablechanged is what the overall thing is called. It's just called Boolean change because that's your name for it

[fallen chasm]

yes -- so, I did a quick cyanemu test and it didn't work. lemme peek at the console before I assume anything

[grand temple]

you need to define what you want to set it to in the "set boolean" node

I think leaving that blank will make it false

[fallen chasm]

I kinda want it off until the event happens though

[grand temple]

no, this

[fallen chasm]

aah

derp

still halting...

alright console, what secrets to do keep

null ref -- I think on the player

[grand temple]

you'll have to set it to networking localplayer

on start

[fallen chasm]

to clarify -- is that a cyanemu setting or an udon graph thing?

[grand temple]

that's just everything

[fallen chasm]

I'm afraid I am once again at the mercy of my lack of understanding

[grand temple]

on start > set player to networking.localplayer

[fallen chasm]

still missing some context -- I don't see an onstart menu in unity, nor am I finding it in the udon search

[grand temple]

it's just start

[fallen chasm]

I'm gonna feel so dumb when I find the super obvious think you're talking about XD

[grand temple]

it's a node in graph

[fallen chasm]

oh!

event start

I was looking for onStart

not finding a set/networking/local in there

[grand temple]

networking get localplayer

[fallen chasm]

huzzah!

woof... if I can get this working, I'll have a lot of 'network events' to update

hot digity!, it worked

Phase, you're a saint -- thanks for all the help this evening

[void sandal]

How do I fix?

[fallen chasm]

just a guess, but is error pause enabled in the console?

[void sandal]

no

[fallen chasm]

any notable new errors in the console?

[void sandal]

just this one

[fallen chasm]

I've actually never used the audiolink adapter plugin -- can you temporarily disable or remove it from the scene and see if it starts?

(just to rule it out as the reason for the abort)

[hushed gazelle]

Out of curiosity, is there an event node for highlighting an interactive object but not actually Interacting with it?

[void sandal]

I just removed it its fine now

[fallen chasm]

now I gotta figure out if I can do this same serialized bool change, but with a 20 second delay before switching it back O.o

@grand temple sorry to bug ya again, but is this a bad idea?

[grand temple]

Don't use the oldvalue from boolean changed in a different flow

just use const bool

[fallen chasm]

👍

hmm... getting a weird issue where the button is unpushable in playback

I don't think it's the script though -- I see no console errors

oh!

need interact instead of update

[void sandal]

@fallen chasm How do you get the playlist working in the music player because I cant seem to get it working?

[fallen chasm]

the autoplay or the playlist prefab?

your proTV prefab should have an autoplay url input:

the playlist should be mostly plug-and-play

just make sure you set tv manager and such

hmm...

--

I haven't seen this issue before

[hushed gazelle]

You put an object sync component on an object with a manually-synced udon script.

[fallen chasm]

yes... that serialized boolean stuff is on a pickup

perhaps I should put all of them on the static lockbox instead

or... would it be harmful to let them be continuous?

[hushed gazelle]

Are you trying to put this on some kind of portable device/controller?

[fallen chasm]

three keys, one box

each key has a script to trigger an animation param when it is close enough to the box

but the keys are also pickups

I could, potentially, put all three serialized scripts on the lockbox and make it manual

or even use an array O.o

so many possibilities

[hushed gazelle]

You've massively overthought this; Your key needs to be little more than a pickup. Touch key to trigger space of a collider on lockbox, check if it looks like one of the keys (just check the object ID of it), if it matches, fire a custom event reacting as such (lock opens, disable the respective key, etc)

[fallen chasm]

once the spaghetti drops, it's hard to untangle it

for what it's worth, the scripting in the world is waaay nicer than the initial implementation

[hushed gazelle]

Okay, the way I'd do this is three steps; The first is your keys; They should be pretty much just a pickup with objectsync. Object Pooling might give some better instantiation control for removing them for all players, I think? I haven't messed with that at all yet.

Second is your lockbox. If you're using separate locks for keys, they're three identical locks, that have the same script and are each paired with one of your keys. They're functionally a box collider enabled as a trigger on the Pickup layer. Anything that enters it (ie; a pickup object) gets its object ID checked against its stored Public Gameobject's (ie; its matching key). If it matches, set a respective bool in the Lockbox and fire a CustomEvent off to the lockbox to try and open it. Also do something to get rid of the key.

The lockbox itself is three bools and a single "Try to Open" CustomEvent. Any time you put a key successfully into its paired lock, it tries to open the the lockbox, the lockbox looks to see if all three bools are True. If they are, we know all three keys are found, and open it. If not, nothing happens and the player never notices.

[fallen chasm]

the box has a series of shape keys to show the keys inserted

which are controlled with an animator setup

[hushed gazelle]

So just have the respective lock fire the respective shape key when it sets true?

[fallen chasm]

they keys are also disabled when inserted -- but that's also via the animator

is that exposed in udon?

hmm...

I have much to learn

[hushed gazelle]

You can drive animator values in Udon quite easily. Assign an Animator, Set Bool/Int/Float/whatever

[fallen chasm]

I'll definately make use of that

dang...

after all that re-working to serialize instead of update/customnetworkevent ... it's still out of sync

hopefully this is just because I'm playing with two instances of myself

[hushed gazelle]

No, it should sync that way.

I know, I've had to beat my head against syncing stuff in my world several times with Build-and-test.

What you need to do is set owner to whoever slapped the last key in a lock successfully, I think. What's actually happening in your OnDeserialization event?

[lean herald]

hewo im trying to get a box trigger to turn on the mirror when the "local player" enters & then disable once that player has exited. help me udon wizards : P

[eager olive]

I think you need to provide more info for us to be able to help you!

Basically all you'd need is a trigger collider, and a reference to the mirror. Then use the events OnPlayerTriggerEnter and OnPlayerTriggerEnter to disable or enable the mirror.

Just check it's local player entering the trigger.

[hushed gazelle]

Give me two seconds and I'll show you the graph I use for that.

[hushed gazelle]

You can replace the animator I've used for mine with the mirror's gameobject enabled bool or whatever. For the player approaching the mirror, just used OnPlayerTriggerEnter instead with the mirror set enabled.

Also make sure your box collider trigger is on the MirrorReflection layer.

[plush stump]

Did udon program call requestserilization automatically when a player left the world? One of my countdown timer just get freezed when player left in the mid of the game, I uncheck sync box of a float variable involved in the timer program and that fixed the problem. Took me a lot of time to solve it.

[fallen chasm]

Didn't have the OnDeserialization node anywhere, but I added and plugged it into the SetBool and things seem to be working great now 🙂

[wind atlas]

Method UnityEngineKeyframeArray.__Get__SystemInt32__UnityEngineKeyframe is not exposed in Udon

It would be nice if this and its brothers were unshackled from their prison, so I can use them.

[grave lantern]

I want to make a U# script but i don't have the option?

[fickle stirrup]

download first https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp

[grave lantern]

cheers. I thought it ought to be in the sdk

[indigo finch]

Udon# is a third party complier made by Merlin, thus vrchat don't include it in their sdk. That being said, udon graph is made by vrchat, and is available from the get go.

[void sandal]

@fallen chasm The Music player isnt playing when I test my world. Do I have to publish my world for the player to work?

[dull stream]

If it doesn't work with build & test it won't work with publish

[trim parrot]

are button C# methods disabled?
I have a button that is trying to run OpenInvite from another game object but im getting

Events on 'Button' were removed because one of them targeted a prohibited type 'OpenDiscordInvite', method 'OpenInvite' or object 'DiscordInvite'.

[floral dove]

you can't directly run custom C# scripts - you need to call Udon events through the Udon Graph or U#

[trim parrot]

ah so then Application.openURL is not available at all then? 😢

[floral dove]

definitely not - that's a security nightmare 😓

[trim parrot]

okie dokie ty for answering 🙂

[fading cipher]

Does the OR part of an if statement only get checked if the first half isn't true in UdonSharp?

[echo cedar]

how do i make a pickupable object global

[grand temple]

if you use || then yes. That's called a conditional OR. If you use | then it will check both regardless, as that is a logical OR

[foggy meadow]

im confused as to whats going on here.

[grave lantern]

try to re-import udon

[narrow cloak]

is there a tutorial on making poximity toggled mirrors

[dull stream]

Use a trigger collider

[narrow cloak]

yeah I gathered that from searching, but having udon graphs and stuff is no use when I dont know where to put them or how to link them

[dull stream]

There's a tutorial on the vrchat channel for proximity doors

Intro to networking
https://youtu.be/Mb6ZYBEhxiI

Proximity door
https://youtu.be/95jRByYHE4Y

But if you want a local mirror (you probably do), you can skip the networking one

It's the same process

[hushed gazelle]

@narrow cloak, scroll up the channel, I showed someone else how to do this a few hours back.

[narrow cloak]

yeah i saw that, but like I didnt even know the trigger tickbox on a collider was a thing

[hushed gazelle]

So... now you do, as well as the graph, so what're you missing?

[narrow cloak]

now i cant find islocal because udon search is literally the worst

[hushed gazelle]

Oh, that's in player.

[narrow cloak]

whats the point of a search if i cant search everything

This seems to work atleast

[narrow cloak]

guess i should add the islocal branch thing between triggerenter and setactive?

[wind atlas]

You can also press TAB to open a more full (but also slow) search. So you can try that, if you can't find something.

[narrow cloak]

oh nice thats much better

[grave lantern]

i'm finding Udon kinda difficult. All i want to do is to move 1 object between 4 positions. with 4 different buttons

Wish you could apply simpler logic

[wind atlas]

Depends on your use case. Sometimes you can actually make it simple, just need to know the right tool in Unity, or how to structure stuff. So most of the time, it's actually a Unity issue.

[wind atlas]

I think narrowing down your use case will help you find a better way to do stuff.

There are many ways to do "move"

[grave lantern]

Trying to make 4 security cameras and 4 buttons to pick which camera. To simplify, i have 1 camera i want to move between the camera object positions

[wind atlas]

So teleport?

[grave lantern]

yea

[wind atlas]

That sounds simple, just make 4 empty game objects and assign each to a button.

[grave lantern]

My initial plan was to use animations

[wind atlas]

Those empty game objects you can place where you want your camera to teleport to.

[grave lantern]

how do you do that?

[wind atlas]

Animations work too, but that's kinda hacky...

Just make a button script with a Transform and your Camera as variables.

Then on interact, you just move the cam to the transform.

I realize I say "just" a lot... I realize it might not be as obvious if you haven't done that before.

[wind atlas]

I will make an udon real quick for that.

[grave lantern]

yea i'm kinda new to udon.

[wind atlas]

Unfortunately you not only will need to know coding concepts, but also learn a bunch about how the unity api works. And then when to use which. I would definitely recommend following some tutorials.

[grave lantern]

Ah i catch on quick. I'm an engineer so i'm just trying to navigate these new waters

[wind atlas]

Could look like this:

Then:

[grave lantern]

camera holder i assume would be the target location?

i.e an empty game object?

[wind atlas]

Yes, it's like a place holder to snap your cam to.

Easy to move around in the editor.

[wind atlas]

Oh wait, nevermind. Camera Holder is the game object that holds the camera. TargetTransform is the target we want our camera to snap to!

[grave lantern]

ah

[grave lantern]

Finally got it. Starting to understand this noodle mess 🙂
Thanks bro!

[wind atlas]

I'm glad it's working out. Maybe you would be interested in udon sharp? You still have to learn the unity/vrc specific things, but at least you can actually write code, which is a lot easier for some.

[versed loom]

I am working on my first world and I cannot get the vrc billiards or QvPens to work... I keep getting UdonSharp error codes on the Pens and the UI on the Pool table doesn't work with any interact.

[unborn hornet]

Did you import the udonsharp package?

[frail basalt]

anyone know how to fix this. The overall lighting as you can see isnt light, but for some reason its making avatar emissions really over exposed.

[unique tartan]

Im trying to toggle between multiple different audio scorces by using an animator with an Int param but im not really sure how to go about the Udon graph side of things. Does anyone have an example that I could reference or an easier way of doing this?

[wind atlas]

This could help, shows how to change animations in Udon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw4uvjrvdbU

[unique tartan]

Thank you I will see if this works

[visual elm]

I have a question about lighting.... is it possible if I can change lighting saturation in Udon? like for ex: a switch to turn the whole lighting dark

[unique tartan]

You can put all the lights under an empty gameobject and toggle on/off or you could use a screen shader on a cube that covers the whole world that makes the world darker (pc only). Those are the easy ways I have found.

[visual elm]

actually, hold on...

sorry about that, i meant about changing the skybox lighting that affects the whole world in udon, is that possible?

[wind atlas]

https://answers.unity.com/questions/551826/any-way-to-change-skybox-after-do-something.html

Maybe this is better: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderSettings.html

Try finding those parameters in udon, most should work.

[visual elm]

alrighty

[versed loom]

Yes I imported UdonSharp as well.
With the pens it "requires Standard Assets" but that breaks the SDK every single time.
The billiards table. idk what to do about it.

[indigo finch]

Bit hard to tell with just that, but perhaps it has something to do with your realtime and baked in lighting. Each light in your scene is set to either realtime, mixed or baked, and perhaps you haven't bake in your scene in a while or something, so the realtime lights don't look like they are illuminating the background objects, but they are your character. If you have any non-static objects in the scene, are they also lit much more too?

[frail basalt]

ok, thank you. I managed to fix it 😄

[crimson falcon]

Anyone know how to make one or two separate microphones such as those in OpenMic?

[vernal maple]

Quick question about button inputs. I'm trying to get "Down" on either controller's stick. What would I need to do to detect that input?

[vernal maple]

(Figured out how to do the left controller stick, it's Input.GetAxis("Vertical"), but what about the right stick? D:)

[wet pumice]

Either use VRChat's input event (InputLookVertical/Horizontal) or use Unity's Input with Oculus_CrossPlatform_SecondaryThumbstickHorizontal and Oculus_CrossPlatform_SecondaryThumbstickVertical

theres useful unofficial doc for inputs :3

Okay so to implement it the VRChat way... Using UdonSharp what should I use as my code to get any of the listed inputs?

[wet pumice]

public override void InputLookVertical(float value, VRC.Udon.Common.UdonInputEventArgs args)
which is in https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/wiki/events

im not sure it works with VR controllers though

[vernal maple]

Hum

Well I guess there's the Oculus_CrossPlateform ones then

I'll try the override first though. (Silly me for not looking there first. ._.)

Override appears to work with Oculus Quest using VD and Steam VR. x3

And second shot with values from both sticks. Thank you a TON @wet pumice. Saved me hours of googling and honestly a few hairs in the process.

[vernal maple]

(And just as a status update, I now have a working run/walk toggle for my world because I have been granted access to a button. TIME TO ADD STEALTHY GAMEPLAY :D)

[elder peak]

use the sdk 3 variant of the pens

[autumn birch]

For some reason this script is teleporting every player in the room outside the area when one person leaves the room... why? And is there a fix?

[grand temple]

OnPlayerTriggerEnter happens when any player touches it. But it tells you which player, so all you have to do is get playeapi.islocal and plug that into a branch. Then only do the teleport on the true side of the branch

[cold raft]

You could also just connect the vrcPlayerApi from the event into the instance of the teleport
Right now this fires on all players when any player enters the trigger, and for each player it runs, it get the localplayer and teleports them, so that is indeed each player

[autumn birch]

thanks, testing

[hushed gazelle]

The better way to do it is check if they're the local player, then teleport LocalPlayer if true. That way you don't have a roomful of commands from the other players clients spamming "SEND THIS PERSON TO POINT X".

[narrow cloak]

Has anyone made a local resolution selection for USharpVideoPlayer? Was trying to brute force it earlier but didn't get any luck

[fiery yoke]

"local resolution selection"
wat?

[narrow cloak]

The players default video resolution is 720p, I'd like to be able to toggle to 360p or 1070p without having 3 copy's of the prefab that arnt sync'd

[fiery yoke]

Ohh I dont even know if you can do that

since VRChats limits the resolution to max 720p and Im not sure if you can even go lower at all

At least thats what I've heard before

[narrow cloak]

Interesting, setting it to 1080 might be placebo then, guess I need to rub my face against some pixels to check

[fiery yoke]

Yeah Im not sure. Testing it would probably be better. But if you have questions specific to USharp and everything related to that, you should ask in Merlins Discord Server, which is linked in the USharp Github repo.

[dapper lion]

the protv has a resolution option if you really want that option

[vast sparrow]

um my control panel button is gone please help

nvm i found a fix online

[light fjord]

think i found a possible bug. Physics.raycast gives me reverse directions to where it actually should land the ray, it works in unity editor. but in vrc it does not.

[versed loom]

That's the version I got. 3.1.2

[cursive vapor]

is world size all of the assets in your scene? I am over by like 6mb

[narrow cloak]

I wish I knew, World size is an enigma to me, it seems very compressed from what the toolkit says

[tough finch]

vrworldtoolkit allows you to see all the files in your build and how much they contribute to world size https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

[narrow cloak]

I have that, and according to that my world should be 4 times the size it is

[young scroll]

u would just attach an object to the player, u dont have to handle position requests or anything like that

[amber cove]

So not sure what is happening however When i spawn on a 3d box object There is collision but when i spawn my character on a custom obj for example the floor I fall through. Please at me if you have a solution.

[wind atlas]

To elaborate on that, many things are best to do client side anyway! Every single client will display their own halo. That's possible because each player is already synced on every client, so we can use that player position to place the halo above the head. No networking required! More simple code and less bandwidth usage.
If you do eventually need networking, it usually requires some extra steps like using a sync component or sending your own data.

[wind atlas]

Hard to know your settings. Are the layers on default? Do you really have a collider on the floor? Is it set to trigger? Is the spawn point above the floor?

[amber cove]

The spawn point is above the floor, the layer is set to default, I dont have a selected collission as last time i built a similiar worl I dont remember doing anything like that. even then not sure what kind collission to put in as its a complex flooring

[fading cipher]

Do we have access to VFX Graph in VRC? 🤔

[elder peak]

last time i checked, it's mostly exclusive to scriptable render pipelines, so no

[autumn birch]

So when someone goes into my portal it forces all other players to teleport to that area as well... what's wrong here? @grand temple
I added get playeapi.islocal. But that didn't fix the issue.

[west mural]

try player equals PlayerAPI.Local player instead of the isLocal bool

[jaunty fiber]

Maybe this is a better place to ask then general, i'm assuming that you're not supposed to be able to make
the local users submit a webhook when the join a custom world right?

Like, because then you could grab users IP address.
Is this a feature or a bug?
I was able to hit both an external webserver and a local one on the machine.

[autumn birch]

I don't recall seeing any "equals" nodes for player

[west mural]

no idea what the node is called. The one that is for "==" comparisson

[autumn birch]

Only thing I see is the bool for it...

[grand temple]

That graph you posted should work. I suspect that your problem is to do with how you're testing. Do you have other real people involved? Have they rejoined the world after you reuploaded? Have you ever tried local testing with multiple clients?

omg you have so many udonbehaviours on that object 😳 are you sure this is the right one? Things could be messy

[autumn birch]

I was testing it with another player, yes. I wouldn't be able to run into the problem without at least one other player present.

that is the only udon script that teleports the players, the other ones do other things like enable room and play sound

It's odd because I never had this issue with my other map... it just knew it should be one player at a time.. but not anymore.. I guess.

[jaunty fiber]

Here's a script I slapped together that works for my map.
Feel free to take it and study it, use it for yours if you need to.
Just Cntl-v this into your udon graph. 😃

[autumn birch]

I think it might be because of the interraction type, normally I would just have "interract" I.e. click the thing to teleport but now with the OnPlayerTriggerEnter it has a playerAPI below it. Is there a "on enter" node without that?

[jaunty fiber]

Be sure to create an exit game object for the position.

[void sandal]

@fallen chasm I'm having problems with protv. It said its quest compatible but the music player isnt working on quest

[autumn birch]

So even with interact instead of OnPlayerTriggerEnter I have problems.. with Interact, Hiribikis swim movement sometimes persists after teleporting, only it locks players in velocity and they can't move after intial movement after teleporting.. I can't win with this teleport crap.. about to flip a table.

[fallen chasm]

quest can only play quest compatible stuff. I'm not sure what you're using, but I know youtube doesn't work.

in addition, that's not really a proTV issue -- it's more of a software/hardware limitation on the quest platform

[void sandal]

well is there a way of using audio sources to play music in pro tv?

@fallen chasm ^

[fallen chasm]

Sure -- here's a few quest compatible streams I use in my playlist (audio only):
https://uk5.internet-radio.com/proxy/zomp?mp=/stream
https://uk4.internet-radio.com/proxy/mof?mp=/stream
https://us2.internet-radio.com/proxy/chglobal?mp=/stream
https://uk7.internet-radio.com/proxy/movedahouse?mp=/stream
https://uk1.internet-radio.com/proxy/phever?mp=/live

I think the player needs to have untrusted urls's enabled, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

[mellow field]

Hey all,

New to Udon and i have a question about pooled objects, If all GameObjects in a pool are in use and it tries to spawn another object does it create a new GameObject or does it just fail?
(Unity dev playing around in VRChat)

[elder peak]

the pool fails to spawn a new object

[mellow field]

thank you

[wind atlas]

Just to make sure: we are talking about the collide component you have to add to meshes in order for them to have collisions. For your issue, you have to attach any one of them so we know that's the problem. If it's really a complex flooring, then you probably need a mesh collider, but that's up to you and honestly not that hard to figure out the types.

[ebon light]

why there are so many errors "could not use station at XX" ? outputs every frame! when someone's in station?

this happens in SDK2, too!

[fiery yoke]

Can you show the console or log?

[fiery yoke]

Is that in your world?

[ebon light]

yes

[fiery yoke]

Have you seen that in other worlds too?

[ebon light]

yes, in another SDK2 world

[fiery yoke]

Hmm not sure then. Could be something that only shows in special circumstances, either caused by you, or by VRChat/the client.

[ebon light]

does anyone have the problem too? when enabling the debug gui?

[frosty mason]

Has anyone had this issue with rigidbodies?

the table just has a box collider with default settings

the cube has a default box collider and rigidbody and everything but the floor is on the pickup layer

[wind atlas]

Turn on gizmos, so they display the colliders. This might help see if there is any obvious issues.

[frosty mason]

i already looked at them with gizmos on before the video, nothing seems wrong

i tried removing the table's collider and putting a new cube with a box collider there too in case there was something weird about the table gameobject/collider

[wind atlas]

That is odd. I don't think I can help, if I had that issue I'd just try out a bunch of stuff. Like removing the bottle or moving the objects a bit higher so they fall down. Worst case, you could make a fresh scene with nothing else in it and recreate it. Also try pressing play in Unity while having pause on, then you could step through it. Maybe you tried that already though.

[dapper lion]

ye. its udonsharp

[shell ingot]

I've been having trouble trying to understand how to play audio by clicking a button using udon. Could someone help?

would this work?

[fading cipher]

I wonder what brought the devs to double Quest world size in open beta yesterday

[dapper lion]

probs the more visual action they did to sdk2

i mean. unity 2019 has a lot of new stuff for mobile stuff so who knows. but this change would make vrc 5 times more open than their competitors so who knows what brought them to this

[shell ingot]

nvm solved

[frosty mason]

how many synced rigidbodies can vrchat handle?

[dapper lion]

currently: object sync is having a few issues but when they are eventually ironed out. you could probs have at most 500 with a 40 person instance before having to make a “predictive sync” system

when unu came out. you could have 429 move all at once and be perfectly fine

[frosty mason]

sounds like i don't have to worry about what i'm doing then

what are the issues with it now?

[midnight beacon]

@fading cipher Who knows, i feel a little less terrified about porting my current world to Quest though

[autumn birch]

This works in Unity but not in VRchat. The previous area doesn't disable in VRchat. Any fix?

[dapper lion]

ownership transfer is a little slow

[serene temple]

sdk2 i thought we were in sdk3

[hallow sable]

does anyone know how vrcinstantiate works?

it looks like it only lets u put the object but how do u put where it spawns?

[ebon light]

what i mean is this error log prints in both sdk2 and sdk3

[dapper lion]

would probs make an init or float or just equal its tranform.translate point to where it should instantiate

[hallow sable]

well I guess it would be better to object pool then

is there a VRCobjectPool Script?

I seem to be missing it if so

[autumn birch]

Everything works but the player isn't teleporting...

[grand temple]

ballroomspawner is not specified

[autumn birch]

heh, just saw that too, 😅

[dapper lion]

theres a demograph that comes with the sdk for objectpool

[hushed gazelle]

Anyone else having trouble testing worlds at the moment? My build-and-test clients hang at 0.00% like this. Worked fine yesterday, nothing changed.

[grand temple]

known issue, will be fixed in next patch

[hushed gazelle]

Is there an ETA on that?

Also it it a beta-client thing and can I still test with the main-release build?

[grand temple]

yes of course, you can still use live

this only affects the beta

[ivory garden]

can anyone help plz? i use default vrc chair and upload to my sdk3 world , but it didnt work

[tight magnet]

is there a way to have a mirror that isn't the prefab?
what separates the prefab from any other flat surface?
(I ask this because I want to have my mirror for my world be a plane with sakura patterns cut out along the edges that I spent quite a bit of time making in blender)

[hybrid canyon]

presumably it would just be able to apply these components to a different mesh https://i.gyazo.com/0ab5d89096503ce4d612191ca6bea05d.png

[viscid reef]

You also want to make sure the mesh you're using is aligned on the xy plane with the reflective surface facing the negative z axis

[autumn birch]

anyone with exp using Dastmann's pouring package know what's going on here? The glasses vibrate and when falling over the side of this barrel they stick to it like a magnet.

Also worth noting, when picking a glass up all hell breaks lose.

All in unity though with Cyan so maybe it's not working properly for this reason?

[autumn birch]

Nope not a cyan issue hmm

[frosty mason]

i've seen a number of world with objects that collide with the player's feet so you can kick buttons, anyone know about that?

[calm zephyr]

anyone care to take 10 min to help me learn how to use Collison system with UDon ? Please i am desperate. I need an object to delete the other object it collides with

😩

[fiery yoke]

The event you need is OnCollisionEnter. Both objects need to have a Collider Component (MeshColliders need to be Convex) that does not have "isTrigger" set and at least one of them needs a Rigidbody that is not Kinematic.

[calm zephyr]

I feel like I have done exactly what your telling me but ill try again. 😦

cant i just use a Box collider ? Does it half to be a mesh ?

I did all what you said and the object is not deleting the other object when they touch

[viscid moth]

how can I move on non rigid object with udon?

[frosty mason]

transform.setposition, transform.setrotation, transform.setpositionandrotation

[fiery yoke]

SetPosition and SetRotation do not exist. You have to modify the properties position and rotation directly. (Which thinking about it, is kind of weird, but thats how Unity works)

[frosty mason]

@viscid moth

[viscid moth]

I have this now, but I get an error message: Specified cast is not valid

I deleted the graph and created a new one. now I have no errors.

And what I want to move is a blade of a knive. but when I press LMB it just flicker once

[calm zephyr]

Still no luck getting this Object Collison to work

I need this log to no longer be active when this axe touches it

Thew Udon Script is in the axe and they both have Colliders and rig bodys

[calm zephyr]

I got it to delete the log but if the axe hits other objects it also deletes the log. How do i get it to only deactivate the log when only the log is hit

Still no luck Not sure if im even close to doing this right

[vale skiff]

hello. I am making a vrchat world but I need help on figuring out how to add flight controls to players who join the world. Dose anyone know hot to do that or where i can get an asset for that?

[elder peak]

you will have to check if you hit a log, one approach may be using a layer and adjusting the collision matrix
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

[calm zephyr]

The Long is getting deleted when i hit the axe with other colliders in the map. is this layer system the way to fix this ? How do i get the log to only delete when only the axe hits just the log.

[elder peak]

if you really want this inflexible as this, you can just check if the gameobject you hit, is that log game object

[calm zephyr]

how do I do that ?

I just need the axe to make sure only if it hits the log nothing else

[calm zephyr]

Sorry for being so complicated I really am desperate to figure this out

[calm zephyr]

There must be a simple way to say in UDon if log is hit by axe then set inactive

[elder peak]

you compare whether the collision gameobject is the same as the object on the variable

[calm zephyr]

I dont have a clue how to do that 😦

[elder peak]

get the gameobject from other
use the operator for equality on variable you set and other's gameobject

[calm zephyr]

I apologize but you say it like I have used Udon for along time. I have only a month of experience in unity alone and like a week with Udon. I have been trying to get this log and axe thing working for 4 hours now and the best i got is the axe deleting the log when it hits the log or other objects 😦 im trying my best im sorry that im not following exactly.

[floral dove]

since you're new to these systems, it will probably help to learn through some examples and tutorials before trying to make a very specific thing. You can check out this pinned message for how to learn the basics so you can make your own things without needing precise info at each step: #udon-general message

[errant spire]

having trouble syncing udon variables (get and set), the player pressing the button will have the correct value for a second but then a second later it disappears. nothing happens to the second using. using a networked event didnt change this result

the whole game im creating in udon requires synced variables. i used to use game objects for it until i found out how to set variables, the stuff does work when there is only 1 user

[tight magnet]

I tried it, and it still doesn't work-
in fact, whenever I add a prefab mirror, the prefab mirror acts like a camera for my mirror (it's really weird)

[dull stream]

I think using a tag in this case would also be quite easy

I don't personally like it but it seems unity tutorials often suggest it

[elder peak]

you cannot use tags in vrchat

[tight magnet]

nvm i got it \o/

[elder peak]

you cannot use tags in vrchat

[dull stream]

really?

why the heck not

[elder peak]

tags do not work with asset bundles

[dull stream]

do tags get indexed or something or it by choice

I see

[grave lantern]

Is there a way to make an object a child of a target object?

On my securty cameras, i have one paning back and forth. But in order for it to follow the animation, i can't just move it to the target. i need it to become it's child if possible.

[dull stream]

you can try using constraints

dunno if you want assing it to anything at runtime tho

[grave lantern]

It might just be easier to make another camera and change the texture out?

[grave lantern]

anyone familiar with this? I can't seem to find the script

[grand temple]

That's an SDK2 script

in udon, you need to have a vrcplayerapi and you can call voice modification functions on them directly

[grave lantern]

Ah thanks man!

[indigo finch]

Here's one I wrote for a world to use as reference

[grave lantern]

I realize sdk2 might be simpler. Thanks for sharing! All i wanted was to have a simple stage mic 😛

[grand temple]

if all you want is to set player's voices to a static pre-determined setting, you don't need to re-apply all the players in every onplayerjoined. You can just do onplayerjoined > set that player's voice and nothing else

all players will receive the onplayerjoined of all other players, so it will work

even late joiners

[grave lantern]

I'm going to need a mute/unmute button too :L

[indigo finch]

yea... it's an old script and had extras for redundancy as I didn't quite know what I was doing...

[grave lantern]

The idea is an "intercom"

[grand temple]

doing it dynamic is a little bit more complicated, mostly because sometimes players don't always do onplayertriggerenter and onplayertriggerexit. So instead of a region that you walk into and out of, I would recommend a pickup that you grab and hold.

Then what you need to do is have a synced bool and turn it on/off with PickupUseDown and PickupUseUp. When other players receive OnDeserialization, they can get the owner of the object and set their voice based on whether the bool is true or false

[indigo finch]

or perhaps on pickup and on drop

[grand temple]

With this method, you'll also have to account for someone stealing the pickup so you may want to store the playerapi of the owner and if you get onownershiptransferred, you just apply the default voice settings to the previous owner (but make sure you check they're valid first in case they left)

[grave lantern]

Oh dear

So this is kinda my project: It's a studio designed for a talk show or podcast. It has camera control and adjustments left and right. The goal is to have a human producer switch cameras to whoever is speaking. But the producer neeeds to be able to speak to the stage and he also needs to be able to hear the stage.

The goal is to make a well produced podcast done entierly in VRChat.

[grand temple]

ok, if you have a whole project instead of just a small prefab then I think it would be more valuable for you to understand the fundamentals of changing voice so that you can design your own system, rather than dumping a pre-existing design on you

What do you already know about udon and syncing?

[grave lantern]

I'll be brutally honest and say i've kinda shrugged off the net coding for later

I've focused on getting all animations to run properly and trying to get the paning camera work

[grand temple]

You can start here with the networking part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb6ZYBEhxiI&t=1s

[grave lantern]

I'll have a look. Thanks!

[grand temple]

As for the voices part, the basic concept is that each player can hear other players in completely different ways, independently. So if you want the producer to hear everybody no matter what, you can have them click an interact that iterates over all the players and sets their voice high. Interact is a local event, so this will only happen on the producer's computer, and thus will only change their perception and nobody else

And likewise, if you have a button that boosts your voice like an interact, you can't just set your own voice and be done. Instead you need to communicate with the other players through syncing, either a variable or an event, and then on their computer they run some code that will set the voice

[grave lantern]

I see

[grand temple]

however, there are some events that are not local. For example onplayertriggerenter will happen for everyone because everyone will observe a player entering a trigger

And when it comes to voice itself, just be aware that if you increase voice far distance, you'll want to decrease the gain. Default setting is 25 far, 15 gain. If you go up to 50 far, you'll want about 10 gain, 100 far = 5 gain, etc

far affects the distance and gain affects the volume. So if you increase the distance without reducing the volume, it will be very loud when they are nearby

[grave lantern]

Noted!

[broken zodiac]

Hello, I'm wondering if/how I could make a timer run based on the world/instance?
Right now I have it running off of the owner of the world, but it's not really reliable if they disconnect, the timer resets with the new owner...

[dull stream]

Well you can't really run it based on the instance so you have to run it based on the master

And when the current master leaves and a new one is assigned sync the values or something

I dunno if you can use the player leave event for this

Might be too late

[broken zodiac]

I'm still new to using Udon would it be possible to create a timer with the GetServerTimeInSeconds node?

I'm not to sure what each of these nodes do exactly, so just taking wild guesses for the most part...

[indigo finch]

How is this timer being used exactly? Is it a small countdown, is it a entire world challenge timer, is it something that just tells everyone how long the instance has been up? Are there multiple timers going at the same time? The use will change what methods make sense

[indigo finch]

Hope you don't mind, but this peaked my interested and I decided to whip up a prototype in udon graph (should have used sharp at this point...). It seems to work, though there is a notable amount of delay before it takes into effect. How do you tell udonGraph to manually resync a variable?

[languid vector]

H

[grand temple]

You need to set the udonbehaviour to manual sync and then you can call RequestSerialization when you change the variable. That will sync significantly faster than continuous

However, the problem is you'd have to split this into two separate scripts because you can't have a manual synced udonbehaviour on the same object as objectsync, which you would want for the pickup

All you need is a script that takes onpickup and ondrop and forwards those events to another script on a different object

[indigo finch]

hmmm... a simple script that fires custom event 'pickedup' or something as well as changes owner should do hopefully. just wondering if there would be a timing issue of the owner not changing fast enough

[grand temple]

nah, transfers are plenty fast

[indigo finch]

ah, cool cool

[grand temple]

it's continuous sync that causes delay

[indigo finch]

oh, it might be a non issue, but the script checks for the owner, but if the owner update to the other users happens after the script testing to see who needs to have their voice changed, then the wrong person would get thier voice changed

[grand temple]

That's why you need to keep track of the previous owner and then reset their voice when you get onownershiptransferred

[broken zodiac]

I'm using it to run all my world events, so the idea is once the world loads a timer starts and after X amount of time, it will run a custom event for all players to see, then the timer resets and counts again...
I have an ARK world, so I was working with the idea of every 15mins a random dino animation would play or a supply crate would drop, ect.
But then I also wanna use the timer for other smaller events that happen like every 2-5mins as well, and they just all run off the world timer instead of a the owner/master, since when they leave right now, it resets and plays an event, even if one just played a moment ago...

[void sandal]

Is there a way to play youtube videos in video players on quest? I know you can use youtube link but I want to know if theres any way to play youtube videos

[grand temple]

No, quest is unable to load youtube videos. The only videos they're able to load are direct links, like something that ends in .mp4

[void sandal]

how can I do direct links?

[grand temple]

typically you have to host a website

[void sandal]

like make a website?

[indigo finch]

if there is just one or so variable running, you should be able to just do a synced float as a reference point. Then if the owner leaves, everyone has the same variable stored to continue off if they happen to be the new owner

[indigo finch]

yea, I think its a non-issue and I'm just missing the obvious, but I'd still like to know what I'm missing so here goes:

script 1 tells script 2 to run 'hasPickup'. It then tells the network that script 2's gameobject's owner is player2, not player1
Script2 plays event 'hasPickup', and sees that it is a different person stealing it, so it sends the custom networked event 'Stolen'

Player3 sees gets the the call to play event 'Stolen' and sees that it is still player1 with the mic, so does it accordingly.
Player3 then gets told that the owner of script2's gameobject is now player2. but it has already done the 'stolen' event, so it doesn't change the voice settings

can this happen? or do owner transfers always come first or something?

[grand temple]

no, order is not guaranteed with network events and transfers

don't rely on one thing happening first

[indigo finch]

can you even put an artificial delay in it? is it usually a non issue?

[grand temple]

don't do that

just use onownershiptransferred

[void sandal]

does weebly work?

[grand temple]

I have no idea what weebly is. If the url ends with .mp4 then there's a good chance, that's all I know

[void sandal]

weebly is a free web hosting service

[flat musk]

I don't know where else to put this but I have been trying to slow down this for loop as it resolves the addition instantly and when using an update event it evaluates per frame when I want to slow down the for loop with some more complicated timers. This picture is the basic idea of what I a trying to accomplish, how do I make the for loop evaluate every second rather than every frame?

[grand temple]

If you know the exact fogdensity you want to start with and the exact fogdensity you want to get to, along with the time that it starts transitioning and the time that it stops transitioning, you can use update and mathf.lerp

[flat musk]

Ah I will have to research more into the math systems here then

because I have little to no idea what lerp means

[grand temple]

Lerp means that you give it two values and a time and it will give you a value in between those two

for example lerping between 5 and 10 with the time 0.5 will provide 7.5, because it's half way between 5 and 10

[flat musk]

though the for loop only uses integers

and is time in seconds?

[indigo finch]

You can use the lerp function to change the fog to be closer and closer to the target fog level. using for loops is more for going through lists

[grand temple]

no, it's not in seconds it has to be 0 to 1

but you can convert time in seconds into a 0-1 value

for example if you want to lerp for 4 seconds, you get the current time, subtract the time that you started the lerp, and then divide by 4

[flat musk]

Thank you, that is gana help

[flat musk]

So that tells me I have gotten to the point I am going to have to go further in math than I did in college.

Because I would never have gotten to that conclusion without asking XD

[grand temple]

Lerp can be used in many different ways and just blindly moving towards the target value independent of time is the easier way, so yeah just do that

[flat musk]

Well time for me to go to khan academy and get passed pre calc since now I have a reason to use it

[grand temple]

eh, game dev math is pretty independent of college math unless you're doing something super specific

I would recommend Freya Holmer instead, she teaches math that is more applicable to game dev

[flat musk]

Well if I am going to be a professional technical artist I would rather have all my foundations filled

but ye I get what you mean

[grand temple]

https://youtu.be/R6UB7mVO3fY

VERY relevant to technical artists as well

shaders are much more heavy on math than game code, yeah. And Freya does plenty of shader stuff

[indigo finch]

lerps are rather simple, though a little hard to explain in text. You have two numbers, lets say 0 and 1. then you have a third number to tell you how much of each you want, lets say 0.5. The result will be half of number 1 (0) and half of number 2 (1) resulting in the final number 0.5. Then, on the next frame, number 1 is now 0.5, and number 2 is still 1, and we are still grabbing half so we get 0.75
or to make it more grid like:
0, 1, 0.5 = 0.5
0.5, 1, 0.5 = 0.75
0.75, 1, 0.5 = 0.875

[indigo finch]

yea, missed the 'can' at the start, fixed! as for the deltatime, I find it makes a serious difference when considering the large difference in systems, though admittedly it isn't quite as simple

[flat musk]

Let me put it this way since it's a long story short sort of situation, I have a bad history with math because I have really bad foundations and got moved on when I wasn't ready

[grand temple]

yeah, that's exactly why I recommend Freya. She makes it very approachable and visual

About 10 minutes into that video is where she's talking about lerp

[flat musk]

Well in my case I am someone who just kind loads up on tools quickly

I had to learn all of udons netcode in like 2 days

But ye, I will watch that video, I put it in my watch latter

[flat musk]

It worked! You have saved me a lot of stress

now I need to unary negate this fog

but not till after I rest and recover from having to learn a bunch of different c# systems

[indigo finch]

something to bare in mind is that the script I wrote has nothing to stop itself. You will need to add something that makes that bool = false so it stops doing math constantly. perhaps add a float check that if the fog density is 99.9% there, it stops or something

otherwise it will continue to run until you leave the world

[hushed gazelle]

This is more of a general unity question but how can I get something to rotate at a fraction of a parent object? Like if I turn a dial 20 degrees the matching object will only rotate 10 degrees in the same direction because it's turning at half the rate.

[flat musk]

I do remember that being a thing in math

[scarlet lake]

How do i use my mic

[grave lantern]

You commonly talk to it in a fairly close proximity

[scarlet lake]

u mind screen sharing to help me?

[autumn birch]

I'm getting a really bad issue where players use a portal to another area. When teleporting to the new area it disables Hiribikis swimming prefab before teleporting but sometimes when a player teleports they get frozen in place and are unable to move. Anyone know how to fix this?

[fiery yoke]

TeleportTo is very picky when it comes to inter-frame timing. Try to delegate it to the next update call by using SendCustomEventDelayedFrames with 0 frames

[plush stump]

IndexOutOfRangeException: Address: '512' is larger than the UdonVM's heap size of '512'.

Did this mean I put too much into one udon graph?

[viscid moth]

I have a knive that extends now, but on release it won't retract. Any Ideas?

[trim pilot]

Where can o report somebody im dum dum

[viscid moth]

it finally works. can someone tell me what's different from the previous one?

In Game

[grave lantern]

wht "info" does this push through the noodle?

[fiery yoke]

It will give you a AnimatorStateInfo struct, which contains information of the state the animator you give it, is currently in, on the layer you specify.
Its quite advanced, in most circumstances you would probably not need this, unless youre doing something very funky with Animators.

[grave lantern]

i am doing something funky

I want to know which animation it is currently on

[fiery yoke]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimatorStateInfo.html Here you go

[grave lantern]

Cheers!

[kindred pendant]

anyone know how to get a button to toggle multiple things to false? i need help

[grave lantern]

I'd recomend that you create a custom event on each of your things where you flip the boolean value

[kindred pendant]

so custom event > Button > Set active > Bool (Not ticked)

?

[grave lantern]

So this is the way i call custom events

here are the variables assigned

Make sure the eventName is exactly the same. And the Udon Behaviour variable is just the object that contains the event in question

In principle, you can call as many events as you want

[kindred pendant]

so what would you put in event name to set it as inactive or false?

[grave lantern]

Here is the called event

[kindred pendant]

instance links to the object in the instance that you want to bind the event to yeah?

[grave lantern]

yea you just drag the object with the event you want to play to the udon behaviour variable

[kindred pendant]

this is so confusing, why couldnt vrc make tutorials on this

[grave lantern]

it's a mess

[kindred pendant]

ok so behaviour box is a bool?

behaviour would be telling it that i want it on or off. so what would i put there?

[grave lantern]

no i believe it's just calling the script

[kindred pendant]

uh

sdk2 was so much easier to understand

ok so

ive got event interact that leads to sendcustom event currently

[grave lantern]

nice that is your button

[night viper]

I was thinking more of using a "for loop" so they can put as many objects as they want for either turning things on or off Like this, where you put your gameobjects where the red boxes are

[sand basalt]

is there a full list of all udon component with descriptions?

[kindred pendant]

where do you find "get length"? its now coming up for me

not*

[night viper]

GameObject [] -- get Length ( not to get confused with "GetLength")

[kindred pendant]

im not sure how to get the toturnon, im assuming thats a custom event?

[night viper]

the public variable?

[grave lantern]

I believe it's your variable

[kindred pendant]

the variable being the button?

[night viper]

Click the arrow, search for GameObject[] Then make it public (and rename it) You will need 2 of this.

Then you drag that into the Udon editor

[kindred pendant]

doesnt seem to want to attach to get length

[grave lantern]

choose the one with the brackets []. It's an array

or it seems to be. you never know with this noodle soup

[kindred pendant]

ok so then how does it know, i want XXX to turn off or on?

wait

does it have to be "ToTurnON" exactly as in like it looks for that?

and the value would be 1, in the variable?

size sorry

[night viper]

Size is how many objects you want to plug there. If you want to turn on 100 objects ON, type 100, if you want 10, type 10. The "for loop" will do the action on all the objects at the same time, one after the other until it is done

[kindred pendant]

okay so how does it know i want this size to turn on/off

[gaunt jolt]

soo question again

I've downloaded a few UDON prefabs which are amazing but not all of them have interfaces or even materials. is that something on my end or just the uploader?

other prefabs I've gotten are just scripts. how can I set the script into the world?
scripts like Desktop Text Chat. or something like that

[kindred pendant]

oh wait

[kindred pendant]

i get it thank you!

[night viper]

This red box on my code will tell it to Set Active (true or false) to be true (on) on all the objects inside the "ToTurnOn" If you see in the red box, there is a "value" box, this means it will turn them to true (on) (checkmark)

[kindred pendant]

🙏 thank you so much for your help. your a life saver

[grave lantern]

admittedly, it is better than my custom event solution 🙂

Depending upon how many variables that ought to be flipped

You don't happen to know an easy way to create a stage microphone in Udon like the one in open mic? xd

[night viper]

hm I dont know how that microphone on that world works sorry xD Also I have not experimented with voice overwrite (if that is what it uses) sorry

[grave lantern]

really struggeling to recreate that mic. It seems so easy in SDK2

[wind atlas]

I don't think that problem is that easy to solve. But it all depends on what you need the mic to do.

Like, you could make it dynamic so multiple people can be close to it and it affects everyone's voice dynamically based on how far away they are.

Or you can just affect the one who is holding it, which is a lot more simple (probably since I haven't used the voice api in udon yet)

[grave lantern]

I need two types of amplification. One where all inside a box is amplified. And another where whoever is holding an object is amplified

[wind atlas]

I'll try it myself real quick, sounds easy enough.

[wind atlas]

No idea if this works:

[wind atlas]

I went ahead and actually tried it. It works. Make sure to set the regular range to 25 (or whatever your default is). More here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/player-audio

You could also increase voice gain, might make it sound more like a real mic.

[grave lantern]

Awesome! i'm going to set it up my self now. i got a little busy earlier

wow i really did over complicate things

[viscid moth]

How do I prevent fast flying bullets to just fly threw thin objects, instead of bouncing off or impacting?

[fiery yoke]

Welcome to the problem of Continuous Collision Detection.
This is probably more complex than you might realize. Like here is a research paper that I found with a quick google search: https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00390356/document, just to give you an idea on the algebra that is related to this topic. Fortunately Unity already has implemented a CCD Algorithm for you. You can just change to continuous collision detection in the Rigidbody settings.

[viscid moth]

oh ok. found it. thx

[kindred pendant]

does anyone know how to delete the pedestal models? i assume theyd cost some kb, especially since i have so many in my world.

you could do it in sdk2 not sure about udon

[kindred pendant]

how would one change the turn on to a toggle instead of just true

[wind atlas]

I don't know the context. If you want to "toggle" a bool, use UnaryNegation in udon.

[kindred pendant]

so basically

i want to make the button turn one thing on or off, but other objects set to false

basically. avatar pages. page 1 toggles 1st set of avatars but sets pages 1 2 3 and 4 to false

so i need turns on to be a toggle instead of just true

[wind atlas]

There are easier and more optimized ways to do it. But you could be lazy, just make 4 buttons each with that scripts. You have two lists, just add the buttons you want to be one and the ones you want off.

So button 1 turns off page 2, 3, 4 and turns on page 1.

So it wouldn't be a "toggle", doesn't sound like you need it though, right?

It's only important that other pages disapear.

[kindred pendant]

in sdk2 i do a toggle for the thing i want to turn on. then everything that shouldnt be on are all set to false

[wind atlas]

Yeah, my suggestion sounds like it would be enough. Try it out for yourself.

[kindred pendant]

so your saying

im not sure

udon is so confusing to me

[wind atlas]

You pretty much already have what you need. Just create 4 buttons for each page with those scripts. Fill out the lists manually.

[kindred pendant]

ohhhhh

damn

but no wait

that wouldnt work?

i need the thing i want on to then turn off when i press it again

[wind atlas]

By the way, there is this cyan trigger thing that was released. It's supposed to help people work in sdk3 using sdk2 workflow. Maybe that would be more helpful to you?

[kindred pendant]

cyan trigger?

i have cyanemu

[wind atlas]

I'm assuming only one page needs to be active at all times. So there is no need to turn it off unless a different page is selected.

[kindred pendant]

dont know what it does tho

no

[wind atlas]

That's the emulator that allows you to test vrc stuff inside unity. The same person made a package that's similar to sdk2 or something like that.

[kindred pendant]

the page needs to be a toggle otherwisw it would lag people

[wind atlas]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger

[kindred pendant]

i just need to know how to swap the true to toggle

[wind atlas]

That would be more complicated, unfortunately.

You could use the UnaryNegation, but that would feel clunky.

With what you have right now.

[kindred pendant]

i could do it in sdk2

im so confused with udon

ok so how would i connect unarynegation to the graph i have?

[wind atlas]

Do that before you set active the object

[kindred pendant]

can i connect it to block?

[wind atlas]

Replace that at the end.

[kindred pendant]

just testing rn. ill let you know

how do i connect it to a block tho?

[wind atlas]

I was saying replace the end. Hold on I'll make a screenshot real quick.

[kindred pendant]

oh your talking about the group, ok. let me try

[indigo finch]

Nice simple script! It does however require that no one can steal the mic, as then 'the person who got it stolen from's voice would never be reset. Also doesn't work for late comers or those who lag out during the event being called. That being said, great from a simplicity's sake!
@grave lantern, I played around making one from the concept that PhaseDragon mentioned. it ended up being rather large, but it should account for latecomers and mic stealers

[grand temple]

Everyone receives OnOwnershipTransfer, there's no need to do a network event for "stolen"

[autumn birch]

So I'm trying to disable Hiribikis system within the system itself prior to teleporting to fix this loss of player control issue but for some reason the symbolName is greyed out on my graph and not Hirkibikis. Anyone know why?

[grand temple]

The dropdowns being grayed out is because you're selecting the udon graph itself. You need to select the object that has the udonbehaviour so that it knows which object it's targetting

[indigo finch]

there is an immediate check to see if you were the one that picked it up. I did this cause if the owner left the world, someone new would become the owner without them picking up the mic. would be rather strange if someone suddenly started being really loud

[grand temple]

Right, but you still need to reset the voice of the previous owner back to default

all you need to do is onownershiptransferred > if currentMicHolder is valid > audioDefault

or for that matter, do the isvalid in audioDefault just to make sure it can't be done by accident when the player is not valid

[indigo finch]

when the scipt sees that the bool has changed (or the stolen event is called), each player checks if it is being held. if it is being held, and the owner is different, it then changes the stored owner's audio to default. it then finds the new owner, and then makes their audio amplified

[grand temple]

yes, but there is no guarantee that the network event will arrive before the ownership transfer

[indigo finch]

hence why the script cant be called until then... is what i believe. the owner has to have seen that they have become the owner, before the network event 'stolen' will be called to everyone

[grand temple]

but at the same time, you're just making stolen do the same thing as OnDeserialization, which will do nothing because you already get ondeserialization when it transfers

[autumn birch]

I don't understand, I can't target the symbol with anything

[grand temple]

select the gameobject that has this graph on it and make sure that swimLoco is assigned

[wind atlas]

Does that mean there will be no OnDrop event when someone steals it? That would suck. Ideally there would also be a OnPickup event when someone joins, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

[grand temple]

That's technically correct, but not what you need at all

I'm telling you.... on ownership transferred, set voice of current owner back to default...

[indigo finch]

I didn't realize onDeserilisation was called when the owner transfers... guess it makes sense

[indigo finch]

so something like this?

[grand temple]

yes, but make sure to do isvalid before trying to set any voice settings

[indigo finch]

I added the reset on owner changed, as well as made the update logic only run when the bool changes

udon graph gets rather laggy with graphs these sizes... the audio compiling is a pain...

[indigo finch]

even if the onDrop was called, the owner would still be different so it would change the voice for the wrong person...

Thanks @grand temple for going over the code! Been quite eye opening how quickly you saw the flaws😅

[grave lantern]

don't mind me. Imma just check this prefab out 👀

[autumn birch]

Well I got it to work but it didn't fix the issue as I'd hoped. Player will still be either A. be locked in place or B. is forced to move in the direction they were going prior to entering the portal and cannot stop. Typically getting stuck in the ceiling corners. I thought making it disable first in the line of script would solve the issue but I was wrong..

It's completely random when the player gets stuck in place, I can't pinpoint the cause or reasoning as to why the player gets stuck sometimes but other times won't.

[autumn birch]

I tried using that delay frames node too

[grand temple]

that's not how delay frames works. It doesn't magically put a pause in the flow. Flow still happens instantly

When you do sendcustomeventdelayed it is exactly the same as sendcustomevent except it's put in a queue that will happen later

I'm having a hard time following your question though, the isvalid comment was about bush's thing

[grave lantern]

is it possible to set a bool to true at a spesific animation?

[grand temple]

yes, animators can use animation events to send custom events to udonbehaviours and then the udonbehaviour can set the bool

[grave lantern]

i have this mess

i need to attempt to do the netcode

[grand temple]

That looks like something that should be either a blend tree or a normalized time animation

[grave lantern]

There is probably much better ways to do this. But the idea is that there are 10 different height levels for a camera.
I have two buttons that basically toggle the animation to climb up or climb down.

Bottom one is the button

But yea. Trying to get it network synced

[grand temple]

why control that with an animator at all? It would be much simpler to control it by script if it's just moving up and down

[grave lantern]

for the swag? xd

it looks cool though

[grand temple]

I would recommend using an int instead of a bool, then you can just sync the int

if you want to stick with the animator

[grave lantern]

that was a good idea

need a new button program then to sycle through the numbers

possible to send a "++" on a button?

[grand temple]

huh?

you mean add one to an int?

get int, int addition, set int

[grave lantern]

nice ty

[grave lantern]

do these handle negative numbers?

[grand temple]

yes

[grave lantern]

nice

omg i feel like i understand something now

big brain kennu

[grave lantern]

is there a way to gate an integer from surpassing 10?

[grand temple]

sure, use mathf clamp

[grave lantern]

damn you're like a wiki!

[grave lantern]

quick question about netcode. Is it a good practice to make whoever presses the button owner?

[dawn forge]

Correct me if I am wrong anyone, but from my understanding is that I prefer to keep it to the instance master and reduce ownership transfer transactions much as possible.

This reduces the wait time and CPU costs of transfers. Would be nice if I could weigh people's pings and allow the fastest player to be the owner.

[grand temple]

only if you are syncing variables. If not, then it's unnecessary

[grave lantern]

that's a great idea

it's crazy. I'm finally starting to understand this noodle soup

[plush stump]

How to reset bunch of array to start a second round? I use array.clear but then game won't start for the second time.

I'm using something like this, but code didn't work properly when I clear my variable and start for a second game

[grave lantern]

Do anyone know how to make this broadcasting tool? Basically, if you put your player camera inside that sphere, it'll stich the video feed onto the camera perfectly.

[lucid geyser]

So im still new to world making and I am very unfamiliar with UdonSharp and how to download it and use it. I want to add a pool table and beer pong to my world. Can someone help me with learning how to use these things?

[elder peak]

if you only need it as dependency
https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.20.3

ensure to have the latest sdk installed

[broken zodiac]

Is it possible/how would I have an udon script on an empty gameobject that starts with an ontriggerevent/interact event, but for a different gameobject?

Or do I NEED to have the udon script attached to the gameobject that is the trigger/interaction?

[grand temple]

you need to have it attached to the right gameobject

but you can have one script send the event off to another script

[broken zodiac]

Alrighty thanks, also is there a limit of how many scripts I can have/would having too many cause issues?

[grand temple]

depends on the events you use. Things like Update will happen every frame, so if you have a lot of scripts using Update it will be expensive

but if you have a ton of scripts with just interact, it's cheap

[broken zodiac]

Thanks again!

[broken bear]

Hirabiki has it on their booth page

[grave lantern]

booth page?

[broken bear]

Online Marketplace. Booth dot pm. Search their name and the author page should show up

[grave lantern]

can you find me a link? this booth place is confusing to me

[broken bear]

https://hirabiki.booth.pm/items/2181334

[grave lantern]

my eyes are overwhelmed by these hieroglyphs xD

[grave lantern]

But thanks! I really appriciate you brought this to me! Much love ❤️

[grave lantern]

Oh dear. I bought the thing but i have no clue how to set it up xd

[broken bear]

Run the page through google translate, it has two prefabs choices, drag one into the scene and the description should say what each prefab is for

[lucid geyser]

https://gyazo.com/6a48a55e7c52c4b13f3941bf8fe920c3 This is what happens when I click on the link to download UdonSharp.

[elder peak]

click on the UdonSharp_v0.20.3.unitypackage under Assets

[lucid geyser]

So do I just add that as an asset in the unity project?

[elder peak]

you open it while your project is open, then it automatically will include it

[lucid geyser]

Hmm okay. So I basically will just go to the udon prefabs that I want to include and download them? Im not too sure how this works

[elder peak]

have you downloaded UdonSharp_v0.20.3.unitypackage? if you click on that, a window will open in your project, you then just click import

[lucid geyser]

Yis, ive imported the package already, im just curious how im supposed to use this imported package, what it exactly does, and how I will use it to add the 8 ball and the beer pong to my project.

[elder peak]

read the requirements on your assets, they are described on the respective website
udonsharp is often used by them, so you just need to have it reside in your project

[lucid geyser]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml# This is the one I was reccomended

I only see one for 8 ball and its not really that great. I want an 8 ball table like the one in Just B club or the movie room.

This one looks more like a ground 8 ball

[elder peak]

https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce

these two shown there are not the ones you want?

[lucid geyser]

Oh yes! Those are nice! this also has instructions 😄

[lucid geyser]

https://gyazo.com/48e2f73f10f0c044c9cb0e64e42c4a17

This is what it gave me. So is it telling me that the table has to be the child of an object to function?*

[ember vine]

is there an example of sendcustomeventdelayed I can look at for udonsharp? I can't seem to make it work for my world

[broken zodiac]

This is how I used it simply...

[ember vine]

ah yeah, I don't use graphs

[broken zodiac]

Oh sorry, I didn't see the udonsharp part

[ember vine]

sall good

I managed to get it working, have to declare the event as 'public' of course

bangs head

so I managed to get it working, but I am still getting hiccups whenever the event goes off (I am trying as much as I can to run a computationally expensive thing without making the player freeze)

is there a way to do things like procedural generation calculations in the background?

i was told coroutines would be the way, but there might be an easier way

[wind atlas]

Correct me if I'm wrong but UdonSharp does not have coroutines.

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do, but I bet you can do it in the update loop somehow instead.

Well, more like you have to find a way to do in the update loop since there are no alternatives.

[fiery yoke]

Udon runs synchronously on the main thread. Therefore, while Udon is processing the entire program is frozen, and frames will not be rendered.
One way to get around this is by doing calculations across multiple frames, however single-thread asynchronous behaviour can be really complicated to implement.

One example is to instead of processing an entire array every frame, processing only one of the elements inside of it, and waiting until all elements have been processed. This has the huge disadvantage that the update rate is very low, and in some cases you have to throw away all of the processed data when something changes, which could lead to never being able to fully process the data. It really depends on what the exact requirements are you have to work with.

[ember vine]

that is a bit limiting, but yeah I guess I'll try doing calculations per frame. The good thing is with procedural generation is I don't need them to be that timely with it

[serene moat]

coroutines in Unity run on the main thread as well so if your goal is to use them to not block the main thread, that's not going to work even in normal unity

[fiery yoke]

Yeah right. Essentially Unity never really supported multithreading natively until very recently with some fancy new tech called the Job System which works together with the Entity Component System (advanced Unity tech that has no relevance to VRChat yet).
To call most of the Unity functions you have to call them from the main thread iirc. Since the actual backend of Unity is written in C++ which is not managed by .NET, doing multithreading properly is not an easy task I guess.

I'm trying to get an interaction event on my continue button, so when you click it, it will check if the text from the textmeshpro equals "X", if so it will change that text, then rinse and repeat...
Was trying to make it more clean, instead of making tons of text objects that just toggle on and off...
But I'm lost on how to get it to check the text, I know the set text works if I just skip the check, but the check is needed so I only have to use one continue button that checks each time you click to see which text your on...
This was the last thing I tried...

[edgy ingot]

is there a way to send a custom message with an argument?
doing it with UI

[grand temple]

no, you cannot

the way I like to do it is to have a text component hidden somewhere. The button sets the text then sends the event to the udonbehaviour. The udonbehaviour then reads the text as the argument

certainly not ideal, but it's the best option available right now

back to unity triggers i go

Does anyone know how to fix this issue with my 8 ball table?

[eager olive]

Did you modify the hierarchy of your pool table at all?

[grave lantern]

I need a way to check if the value PlayAnim1 is true. How do i do that?

[grand temple]

depends how you want to use it. You can plug a bool directly into a branch already, so you don't need any extra processing on it

a bool is true/false already so there is no purpose in doing a comparison if you want to know if it's true

[grave lantern]

Ah so the output will be whatever value the bool has right?

[grand temple]

yeah

[grave lantern]

I'm too logical

[grand temple]

if you want to know if it's false, then you can simply invert it with boolean.unarynegation

[grave lantern]

So this would set it to false if it's true right?

[grand temple]

yes

though you can also just use a bool const if you want to always set it to false

[lucid geyser]

https://gyazo.com/cf1fad8b94ebfec811b58471d02440d1

Where is it supposed to go?

[grand temple]

try just making a new gameobject and putting the whole thing inside that. Not sure why it needs that but the error seems pretty clear

[lucid geyser]

https://gyazo.com/9188c0c70c5a5b4056375fda940e7025 I tried putting the table under just a empty game object but that didnt work but then I realized the error said "2 parents above" so i added a 2nd empty game object and placed one game object inside the other and then placed the pool table in the 2nd empty game object. After I did that, i looked and there was this error.

[grand temple]

Have you tried contacting the people who make this prefab? This channel is typically for help with creating new scripts, we can't really help with getting prefabs to work

[spark comet]

for reference, the issue was that it was the wrong prefab

VRCBCE (Base) is one of the nested component prefabs

[grand temple]

that would do it

[kindred pendant]

Hey guys. Does anyone know how to set like a playerapi voice bubble? So basically i have 6 sitting booths and i want it so whem you go in the booths. No one outside can hear your voice unless they are in the booth with you. So you can talk privately in the booths without worry. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

[fiery yoke]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/player-audio

[kindred pendant]

Ive seen that. But i dont know how to set it up in an udon graph

It doesnt explain how it should be set up.

[fiery yoke]

Ohh true

[kindred pendant]

Im very new to udon. So i dont understand it fully yet

[fiery yoke]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-players
This explains how you get players

[kindred pendant]

Im trying to learn tho. I just need help by people to i can understand it more

[fiery yoke]

However its missing a very crucial one: Networking.get LocalPlayer

[kindred pendant]

So what ive tried to do is set an audio orb in each booth. I just dont know how id start to set it up in the graph.

Would it be like start> player local> player api voice radius 6 or something?

[fiery yoke]

Ohh. One slightly confusing thing is that the settings are local to every player.
Meaning that setting your own voice radius, would only have an effect if you could hear yourself, and your voice came from somewhere else, then where your own audio listener (ears) is.

This is typically not the case :P
So you instead have to set the settings of all other players, for everyone.

[kindred pendant]

Or maybe i could do a box collider that when your inside it, it changes your voice range to a certain number or block out the audio when your not in it

Huh

So you cant do if a player enters the area to radius is set lower?

[fiery yoke]

Yes. As I said, just remember that the settings should always be the same for a single user from everyones Point of View.

Otherwise you could end up with one user being muted for some, but not for others, which would really ruin the experience.

[fiery yoke]

You can. You just have to be clever about how you do that.

Since everyone observes you entering that box, they will all set the settings correctly.

[kindred pendant]

Okay. I just dont know how that would look on the graph or how to even begin setting it up

[fiery yoke]

Well for one, you would use the OnPlayerTriggerEnter and Exit event. Then you just use the playerapi you get from those events, and set the audio settings on that api.
That should already be enough to make it work for the most part.

[kindred pendant]

So i would start with onplayertriggerenter

Setplayerapi radius?

Or is there another node i need to put in before that?

Im assuming it wont just be those two nodes. Since it never is and that would be too easy for udon

[fiery yoke]

Well in this case it really is that easy.

There used to be one huge problem with respawning, that led to it not registering the trigger exit and I dont know if that has been fixed since.
So there is a few edge cases where it can fail. But overall it should just work.

[kindred pendant]

ok. one moment. im just trying to set one up now to see if i can

would i just do the collider as a doorway or set it as the entire booth?

im gonna do it as a doorway

this look right?

ive done a bubble so hopefully when they respawn itll see it as they exited

[kindred pendant]

still need this confirmed please

[cold raft]

i am not sure if respawning triggers on trigger exit

[scarlet lake]

Super power cute boops you face

[stray junco]

what is AudioLink
is that a new type of AudioSource
and if yes then it can replace unity AudioSource

[cold raft]

no its not

AudioLink is the cool stuff the new kids use to make thier worlds & avatars respond to music played on the video source

[fiery yoke]

Its is a prefab/system developed by some community members

[stray junco]

@cold raft
aah so it's like some sort of audio visualizer

[fiery yoke]

Its the framework for a visualizer.

[stray junco]

@fiery yoke
right thanks

[fiery yoke]

But I think it also comes with some default ones

It also allows avatars to respond to the music played in your world, since it "connects" to them, via special textures that the special AudioLink shaders on an avatar can "grab"

[kindred pendant]

Does this look correct?

[elder peak]

yes, it does

[heavy merlin]

@dusk lance I have a question regarding "the sphere" world that you made. I understand that you used stations to rotate a player around, however, when I have "player mobility" set to "mobile" and the station is not completely level, my avatar freaks out and bounces around violently. I assume you somehow have to change the gravity too when rotating the station. Are you willing to share how you did that in your sphere world? I'd greatly appreciate that

[kindred pendant]

question

if i want the volume to stay the same in the collider sphere but not travel out of it

would it look like this and how would i connect the other one
