they take forever to connect

#

then there's mirror

#

and then compiling a server build and all that bs

quartz meadow
#

well, you wont have to deal with server stuff here

#

well, sort of

#

in udon, basically variables are assigned owners (default, first person on the map), and only they can change synced variables, to be synced out to the rest

dreamy gorge
#

is that what the synced thing is

#

it syncs its shit over the server

#

so other ppl see

quartz meadow
#

well, intrestingly vrchat is almost like a mesh network

#

it syncs to other people

#

while this reduces server load a ton, it comes at the cost of more latency (usually), and more code complexity

#

this is why there are a lot of bugs with network stuff

#

I would stay away from more advanced networked stuff if you can until you are comfortable with udon

#

I believe theres a checkbox to sync position and rotation which is straight enough to use

#

but syncing variables is more complex

dreamy gorge
#

jesus

#

do you maybe know why the slider moves when i press wasd?

quartz meadow
#

thats a cyanemu thing I believe

#

try giving it a go in vrchat itself

dreamy gorge
#

im not even using that rn

#

o

#

yeah im using vrchat

quartz meadow
#

do you have that vrc scene descriptor on the canvas?

dreamy gorge
#

i dont

quartz meadow
#

add it, it fixes some issues and makes things more convenient for vr players

#

it should be something you can assign in the object properties directly

dreamy gorge
#

i dont even have a scene descriptor

#

lol

#

do i just make a gameobject and attach it?

quartz meadow
#

it should be part of the same object

#

actually, this video goes over sliders

#

check it out

#

you may be missing a few steps

dreamy gorge
#

i had it open already

#

oh

#

thats not the right one

#

lol

quartz meadow
#

you sure? video length is idfferent

#

yup

dreamy gorge
#

i got confused cus the character

#

uhhh

#

this is my first world so im very happy that i even got this far

quartz meadow
#

not bad then. I recommend this whole channel since its pretty good. udon is actually pretty good for what it is, but its really limited by unity

#

and lack of list support

#

although hopefully that will come soon

#

hopefully

dreamy gorge
#

question for you

#

you said i should put the VRC Scene Descriptor in the canvas, but there is already a component like that in the VRCWorld prefab i have

#

Do i just make another one?

quartz meadow
#

no, keep one

#

intrestingly, searching around for that issue shows this post

#

seems to be a feature of unity lol

dreamy gorge
#

ouch

#

i figured that at first actually

#

but i couldnt find a way to change slider input

#

Ah this is how to fix slider moving when A D

#

ah, nice

Is it possible to somehow force a players avatars animation/gesture from a world? As example imagine a world with a gun as pickup. Now I want to force the players hand to hold the gun and animate the fingers when as example pressing the trigger. A good referene for how i would like it work would be the way boneworks does it

#

I was creating a vrchat world and gave an error message when exporting, does anyone know how to solve it? the message was this:
a unity scene containing a vrchat scene description should only contain one scene description

jagged heron
#

you should only have one

#

the scene descriptor is the component that you put in that you add the spawn and reference camera too

dapper lion
limber wharf
dapper lion
#

there might beanother way

limber wharf
#

Can i controll it with scripts?

quartz meadow
#

yes but itll be a bit challenging. I suggest being comfortable with udon before tackling such a thing

#

I think the jet set maps released their assets which do this, you can peek in there to see how exactly it was done

HELP: below is the original Idea
with a push of a button
multiple canvas texts are going to have random strings
and everyone will see the same string (aka synced for everyone)

===

Monitor Text is the canvas texts, it is a public array
PossibleQuotes is a public array, strings elements will be typed manually at the Inspector
PRIVATEcurrentquotes is a private array, this is used to store the current state, playing the role as a memory disc.

===

Main concept:

When player hit the button,
choose randomly from Possible Quotes for each PRIVATEcurrentquotes element slots

Then do the following to everyone if you are the Master of the instance:
smack the strings from PRIVATEcurrentquote to each MonitorText accorddingly

When a player joins, do the same thing so everyone is on the same track, including late joiners

===

Main Problem:
when the button is pressed, nothing happended

Debugging Trails which didn't work:

  1. I tried to set the default size of PRIVATEcurrentquote as 32

===

PS: If you are reading this now, this problem is solved by Nestorboy, thx

It should be right shift + the button to the left of 1 + 3

#

On English keyboards it's tilde but it could be anything on non-english

#

And it's the position that matters, not the key

is it possible to set new pool table to be visible to only 2 players

because the big irony for new pool table that works with new U# when player hit the ball the traveling time of ball will cause very big drop of frame for everyone in the world
but with old "harry's pool table" that work's on old U# will not cause any issue with frames

any idea ?

vast sparrow
#

in udon how would i detect if a player is in collision with another object then the one my script is attached to?

#

just for the reference
ive got a bunch of invisible cubes here. how would i detect if a player is colliding with box 1 with in the script of box 2?

unknown.png
wind atlas
#

So the script will detect collision/trigger events even if the collider is on a child. Do tell me if my explanation didn't make sense.

wind atlas
vast sparrow
wind atlas
vast sparrow
#

i need the id of the box that the player is in but i also need to check if there is a player in the next box in the set so box 3 only has to check if there is someone is box 2 and then to teleport the player to box 2 from 3 if there is no player in box 2 so that the players are always shuffled forward in the set

paper plinth
#

that just sounds like complicated teleporter logic

vast sparrow
#

it is

paper plinth
#

could you use ontriggerenter to the box trigger zones to sendprogramvariable the player ID that entered the collider to your main program and then just let your main program decide where it wants people to go?

vast sparrow
#

how would i do that?

wind atlas
#

I think I'd store each box as id and somehow connect those ids to a list of players.

#

This way, you can just go through the ids and move all players to the next box.

vast sparrow
#

would that use the setowner parameter?

paper plinth
#

you couldn't use ontriggerenter anyways, that was bad advice

vast sparrow
#

how about oncollision?

wind atlas
#

By shuffle, do you mean this?

vast sparrow
#

yes

wind atlas
#

Black arrow is collision, green/blue is movementt

#

Red is player

vast sparrow
#

yeah basicaly

paper plinth
#

u could maybe use onplayercollisionstay
but I don't know enough about how that works

wind atlas
#

It depends on how you want to structure it, but I'd use OnPlayerTriggerEnter

#

And then notify my main script that the box with certain id got entered by a certain player

vast sparrow
#

this all helps but i still dont know how to refrence box 2 from the script attached to box 1

paper plinth
#

but what if they don't teleport

paper plinth
vast sparrow
#

how do i use those?

#

i found the udon block for it

#

i feel like thes two would work together for this

unknown.png
paper plinth
#

imo

#

and keep in mind I'm pretty new

#

that will get the playerID to the main program

vast sparrow
#

ok

paper plinth
#

and you need a public integer

#

in your main program

#

called intPlayerID or whatever

vast sparrow
#

alright

#

what is that main program block for?

#

is it just representitive of mine

paper plinth
#

u must tell it which udonbehavior is the target of your setprogramvariable
so u make a public variable of type udonbehavior
and drag in your main program object in the inspector

vast sparrow
#

ok i dont have a main progam object

paper plinth
#

by which I mean the object with your main program that handles your cubes in it

wind atlas
#

Maybe to explain in another way. You have your main udon program that manages the state of the whole grid. And then each box has an udon whose ONLY job is to tell the main program someone collided with it.

paper plinth
#

where all your logic goes to sort out who goes where

vast sparrow
#

my original idea was to have the blocks asigned to an array to refrence them is that what you basicaly trying to tell me to do?

paper plinth
#

better to use onplayercollisionenter (oronplayertriggerenter) than onplayercollisionstay I think

paper plinth
#

stick the array element on the end

#

or sacrifice a program scan and just copy your integers into the array

vast sparrow
#

alright ill try that

paper plinth
#

or just don't use one lol

vast sparrow
#

right

#

thanks for your help

paper plinth
#

unless it matters

#

which it might!

vast sparrow
#

i mean then cant i just have an extra?

paper plinth
#

an extra what

#

element?

vast sparrow
#

Yee

paper plinth
#

like for makign additional cubes?

vast sparrow
#

Idk

#

Not sure I need it

paper plinth
#

there's no way around making sure every single collider reporting in I think
so there wouldn't be any extra anything
if you want the colliders to work, you need to have them detect collisisions and send the player ID to your main program

vast sparrow
#

Alright I’ll see if that works and I fit doesn’t I’ll come back here

paper plinth

good luck

How do i set a Toggle to change the Material/Texture on toggle Box itself

quartz meadow
#

not sure what you are asking for. if you are asking for the box itself to be an interactable button, id check this out

#

just have it trigger a mateiral change

hushed gazelle
#

I just want to check, None sync is what we'd ideally want for things like buttons and such that we just interact with and has no values that might update or change?

night viper
#

Over the network. If you are using a script that runs locally only and never sends network events or syncs variables you can set the sync type to none to save network data. There is no point on constantly checking 4 times a second for a local mirror toggle script that never sends any data over the network. There is still no docs for this new sync type yet..so it´s hard to explain all of it

hushed gazelle
#

That's what I figured it was doing.

river plover
#

question: for the new SDK3, I just need to download the package and import it, nothing much else I need to do before that ? O_O

hushed gazelle
#

Do you mean updating an existing Udon world or an old 2.0 world?

river plover
#

exsisting Udon world O_O

#

Vrc is a third party thing that just compiles to assembly readable by the udon vm

#

Vrc udonsharp*

junior coral
#

and it has no material change but i need that the button changes its texture when toggled

quartz meadow
#

I doubt the devs would try to block it

devout trout
#

any chance it's possible for a world to read a certain avatar's av3 parameters and react accordingly? As in, if I have a display case in my world with a copy replica of a weapon I have on my avatar, could the world auto-hide it from the display case when I activate it on my avatar? I'm assuming that's well beyond the capabilities of udon, but figured I'd ask just in case.

quartz meadow
#

I am not familiar with material swapping itself,, but look through unityes manual for how it would be done there. Udon will likely have the same.calls whitelisted fkr you to use

quartz meadow
#

Someone feel free to correct me, i have seen janker workarounds

junior coral
quartz meadow
#

Can you screenshot this please?

junior coral
#

if my unity is playing nice now

quartz meadow
#

It could be that that specific version of udonsharp is outdated with the new vrc release and will need an update. The github hasnt updated just yet though

junior coral
#

ok seems i have to load the old world that i didnt update yet to the new SDK bc it donsnt show it anymore on my Updateded project.

#

give me a momemt i update the SDK in my Second World thats still on the Old SDK

#

bc there i know i have the Old Toggles in use

#

ok i missread also bc i missclicked xD
bc i usally do behaviour but jumped that step bc i was barely awake when i did ask for how to set Material change on a Toggle

unknown.png
#

so no SDK fault it was user fault

#

Never do Scripts and stuff in Unity when barely 20min awake and the brain is still in Boot up mode.

#

But i still need to know how i set the Toggled that it changes it's own Texture/Material to a Different one when Used

#

So that it Shows Texture 1 per Default and switches itself to Texture 2 when used and the back to Texture 1 when used/Pressed again.

stray junco
#

is it possible to make some udon game to be only visible to players
but for none players it will be invisible

indigo wagon
#

And it means people haveing to RW complex scripts in a harder to read way

dapper lion
#

its not

junior coral

they most likely mispoke

but it would be terrifying if merlin was like: “I am done”

junior coral
#

how about REad

indigo wagon
dapper lion
#

20 mins is def not enough for unity

indigo wagon
#

Yeh I read through it
Still asked that question tho as a why would they even

dapper lion
#

oh ye, you can do “SetMaterial(mat1);” but i highly suggest going to codegrepper and double checking because its been awhile since ive done materials and texture swapping

#

and just set up a bool for the toggle so you can sync the material if you wanted to/make it easy to figure out texture1 and texture2

#

or, yiu can do an int so you can toggle thru more than 2

junior coral
#

Bool is only for Avatars i'm speakin about Worlds so Udon

dapper lion
#

correct

#

but you understand what i mean right?

junior coral
#

When Material stuff is to hard i would be happy when it just Activates Yellow/Golden Emission/Glow instead

#

bc i dont want to Spend 2300yen (about 19€) just to purchase an asset with Advanced buttons and scripts bc it's alot of money for me.

dapper lion
devout trout
#

stations, huh...? I was actually considering something even jankier, like having the avatar emit a collision particle on a very specific layer, with a trigger collider on the same layer in the world to detect it... might be a suitable workaround, but idk if it'd be worth the hassle, lol

dapper lion

#

@junior coral u can do toggle.graphic = image; again this is for udon sharp

#

I believe its graphic for the toggle sprite

#

Target graphic i think is the background image of the toggle?

#

Its one of the 2

#

I'm not at my pc to confirm which to use

#

I created my own toggles with udon instead of using unity's tho with my menu

#

It may be u just change the checkmark image instead on the child actually

#

Its been a bit since I've looked at unity toggles lol

junior coral
hard wraith
#

Also u can look up this stuff in normal unity c# and use it in udonsharp pretty much the same way if the functions are exposed

junior coral
#

well i tried something but i'm to exausted to test it just modified one Toggle on my would uploaded it to my PC World, but i will test it when i wake back up again.
Bc i don't want to get to deep in it with my Almost asleep Brain.
Before i Break something again.

quartz meadow
#

Get some sleep, then check out some unity tutorials for toggling materials

#

It'll likely work with udonsharp

The system used in UdonTycoon can be found on my booth page 1:1 and it's called Pickup Tracker for VRChat worlds

Someone already directed me there the day after I asked, thanks for making such cool scripts!

dapper lion
#

but obviouslly the first and last questions answers are extremely complex

young scroll
#

well, i mean u could forge request with get params on the video player, but thats not what im after

dapper lion
#

well there are other ways. but i cannot suggest any others in fear of getting in trouble. and also wouldve been harder anyway

#

but im not sure what kind of network requests youre after?

young scroll
#

JSON API

fiery yoke
# young scroll JSON API

Yeah no. VRChat does not want to give people too much leeway, in case someone finds some way to use it maliciously.
Its probably a bit over-reactive but better safe than sorry.

The best you can get is an HTTP GET request with a video player, and even that is already a stretch since they are specifically for video requests only.

young scroll
#

mega lame

#

i can only do so much with the video player API, i wanted to work with more data to pipe audio data around to make a neat live studio setup

fiery yoke
#

I think thats outside of the scope of VRChat. So not big of a surprise that you will find a lot of road blocks in your way there..

young scroll
#

you would be surprised what u can do with a few basic http requests

#

i can do it mostly with just the video player bdd_pocky_shrugDONOTSTEAL its just tacky and far less performant

Hey is there a good resource somewhere for a sample singleton/gamemanager that works with UdonSharp? I generally use a static class to serve as a singleton but U# doesn't allow static classes. It can't be hard, just want a simple example of how people generally do that.

grand temple
#

There's a beta version of U# that supports static classes

junior lava
#

I just want a gamemanager I can access easily, I feel like it's feasible without a static class...

#

I guess I can use Unity methods, findgameobjectbyname etc...

grand temple
#

yeah, gameobject.find works. Just make sure to use a very specific name because if you do something generic it's possible to grab protected objects like something in the UI or on an avatar, which will be protected and give null references

velvet star
#

You can make a empty GameObject with a custom Game manager UdonBehavior and have all other UdonBehaviors access the obj through public GameManager.
something like this:
One UdonBehavior with the name GameManager,

UdonBehavior - TestForGameManager:```cs
public GameManager GM;

void Start()
{
if (GM != null)
{ Debug.Log($"The current gamemanager is {GM.gameObject.name}."); }
}

#

You can alternatively check for any objs with the name "GameManager" and check if they have the GameManager UdonBehavior.

Is there an underlying performance cost of object pool ownership outside automatic late join sync/spawn/return requests? I plan to have about 40 pools of 15-20 objects and just wondering is there's anything passive under the hood that may affect it for a realistic limit (like if all those spawn/return are continuous sync)

It might've been udon sharp honestly

if you just wanted model railroads you'd need some kind of system that would link two railcars together and break them apart when you pulled them apart

your SDK and UdonSharp are having issues

UdonSharp is probably having issues because the SDK is having issues.

So I'm trying to trigger an animation in my world with Udon that I want all players to see. Currently I'm sending a networked event and each client picks that up and plays the animation. This works fine...but I notice the animation doesn't appear to happen consistently as the event trigger is clicked. Sometimes its immediate, sometimes it happens ~400ms-1s afterwards. Would it be more performant for me to only receive the event and play the animation on the local client and then use VRC Object Sync to sync its location to the others? Is this likely a performance problem with Udon, or networking, or Unity's animation system?

TLDR: Which is more performant? VRC Object Sync or SendNetworkedEvent?

grand temple
#

network events have pretty bad latency, they're just considered low priority. Objectsync isn't going to be much better. The best latency you can get will be with manual synced variables

Tools that allow you to manually moderate more effectively are fine. Tools that automatically moderate people when you're not there are not fine. For example a list of banned usernames would be a problem

I had a design to where I would whitelist game masters who can temporarily assign moderators in memory of the instance. But automatic moderation is something that is controversial but I'd only want to use that when pure evidence is given such as videos and multiple people report it. For instance, someone is using tools to manipulate themselves across the battlefield ruining the competitive concept entirely.

Or if you want to do it manual, have a Transform variable for each item populated at initialization of its current position, then have a button event SetTransform the items back to the variable values. Make sure your items are either using VRC Object Sync or VRC Pickup so it'll automatically update positions.

Short Question in hope, I can also ask here UdonSharp Questions:
To Avoid a lot of assignments in the editor I want to build an auto assign script for some components. Problem is that transform.root doesn't return "szene" as root but first object in tree only. In some maps people use my scripts there are of cause multiple root game objects - therefore in Unity we have getActiveSzene().GetRootGameObjects() - problem: this is not exposed by UDON.
Does anyone know a possibility to achive the result of this function in another UDON-accepted way?

Dear udon developers, does the RetrieveProgram method from SerializedUdonProgramAsset have persistent caching of parameters? For example all parameters except Heap do not change at runtime. I ask this because the editor is fully copying the program from the asset. And in the case of a large number of UdonBehaviour instances there can be huge memory consumption.

serene moat
#

They don't, it's all treated per-behaviour. I've wanted to look at moving stuff like the bytecode away from the heap so you can skip redundantly deserializing the things other than the heap altogether

glacial estuary
# junior lava What does the error say?

It turns out the crash wasnt caused by the udon script at all
it was having issues running localplayer.transform.positionvector3 specifically in my script that attaches an object to local players asynchronously
turns out the crashes were from trying to build my own avatar pedestal

shut patrol
serene moat
#

I haven't seen one, it was just one of a bunch of small things I wanted to look at. Though it's a little larger scope since it'd need the world to be reuploaded with a new VRCSDK to take advantage of the optimization.

shut patrol
# serene moat I haven't seen one, it was just one of a bunch of small things I wanted to look ...

I'm not sure that the update is needed, for example it can be done like this:

interface IUdonProgram
{
    ...
    // The program clones non-persistence parameters
    IUdonProgram CloneProgram();
}

class SerializedUdonProgramAsset
{
    private IUdonProgram cachedProgram;
    
    ...
    
    public IUdonProgram RetrieveProgram()
    {
        if(cachedProgram == null) cachedProgram = Deserialize();
        return cachedProgram.CloneProgram();
    }
}
#

But in general thanks for the answer

serene moat
#

the IUdonProgram contains the deserialized Heap as well, unless you want all programs to start having their heaps conflict and share the same data you'd need to handle those

#

yes, you could cache the bytecode and symbol lookups then drop the redundant deserialized ones so they're not eating memory

#

but at that point you may as well just make the heap serialization data separate so you're not redundantly deserializing everything else

#

so you get marginally better init time for UdonBehaviours and save the memory allocations in the first place

#

this isn't something critical to worlds functioning so imo you shouldn't need to make concessions for the sake of old worlds benefiting from it

shut patrol
#

I understand what you mean, well there is a question about two methods - deep cloning or deserialization. With deserialization, there is a need to change the structure of program, and with deep cloning - write it. Both methods are quite complex 😄

serene moat
#

If it were to do a deep clone it'd use Odin serialization->deserialization either way, any other method of cloning just the heap would be subject to a lot of potential issues

#

changing the program structure would just mean you could avoid needing the client to serialize anything which removes more chances for weirdness

shut patrol
#

Hmm, there is a possibility that it is possible without changing the structure, but keeping a bunch of serialized inside UdonProgram for example. But by the way i don't know how it works inside, so i'll rely on the developers in this matter

Another probably stupid question, and again, not 100% udon related. On the spookality rules it says "All submissions must consist entirely of original assets", meaning any and all asset packs off the Unity store isn't allowed, right?

#

Looking for a way to figure out how a player can cast a vote for another player in Udon.

#

When I click a button with the name of the player I want to vote for, I cast a vote for that person. Then in another script, the game calculates the votes of all the players to determine who had the most votes.

#

In a different, non-VRChat project, I was able to do this using Dictionary and KeyValuePair, with the key being the voted player and the value being the number of votes received. Since Dictionary/KeyValuePair is not supported in Udon, I am looking for an alternative.

#

Are there any alternatives to Dictionary/KeyValuePair that I can use to figure out how players can cast a vote for one another?

fickle stirrup
# earnest vessel Are there any alternatives to Dictionary/KeyValuePair that I can use to figure o...

maybe, master has a list of players, there's also a playerTag which is key-value like but it's local, on vote start he store playerID for who vote is and increment synced voteCount which other players see, and if them voted already - locally for them disabling that function vrcBotThink
you can actually have a double (array[][]) of object type, and parse it via casting to specific type later on your logic to have something like key "string"/etc and value something or array of more object[] but hard to maintain that and no existing search methods/etc

For the player 2 it's just pure empty without any "Received sync" happened, also no error for script halt and the sync mode is marked as manual sync.

west mural

scratches head yeah those code snippets alone should work.

#

What does it output on Player2 ? How do you call the BindPlayer method ?

craggy harbor
#

It is a very odd bug, usually when there's a RequestSerialization call on a manual-sync behavior, the OnDeserialization should be triggered as long as the object and the script component are active.

west mural
#

yeah, only thing i could think of rn is that the ownership somehow doesnt transfer

craggy harbor
#

vrcCatThink if it didn't transfer... how is the host player received OnDeserialization debug message then, only the owner can call RequestSerliazation right

west mural
#

wait ,which player triggers it ?

#

And who diesnt get the message ?

craggy harbor
#

Player 1 triggers it and player 2 doesn't get the message.

#

Player 1 is the instance master and also by default the owner of all game objects in the scene when he's triggering it.

west mural

ah dang

how does GetNextIdleCrewCharakter function ?

there's no error message saying "Couldn't find open slot for player". So everything else is working fine except the OnDeserialization is not being triggered by other players.

craggy harbor
# west mural how is health synced ?

It's all good now, it was simply because I have 2 udon behaviors attached on one object and it's causing some sync bug. It's working perfectly now after I separated them. Thanks for all the help ! vrcCatLove

craggy harbor
# west mural how is health synced ?

Health sync in this game is a bit complicated, it's a combined system with local & networked variables fake the latency and gives a immediate response feeling to the damage dealer player. I can't help with the latency and the ping, but I can decide when to "show" the latency to the player to make least impact for the gameplay.

#

Of cause it has its shortage, high latency players will very often resulted killed each other at the same time, but I think it's a minor issue in this game.

west mural
#

oh i meant is it also manual sync.

#

cause i thought two manual sync behaviours together should work

#

but if you mix you get issues

craggy harbor
#

There's no auto sync in my game x3,

#

DamageSync and the PlayerCharacters are both manual sync, but it's still causing bug if I put them together.

west mural
#

hmm weird

#

but if it works now with two objects ¯_(ツ)_/¯

craggy harbor
#

I guess It might due to VRChat network is very "Object Oriented", it's okay, as long as it works.

oh then you can use the same script on that other button.

You can get a direct reference to the box collider by making a public "box collider" variable and plug the gameobject with the box collider on the "public variable" slot (red arrow) on the script of your button. (not sure if you are using Udon graphs or Sharp, but here is an example)

That doesnt look right. Maybe someone that knows graph can help ya. For me it's public override void OnPickup{gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled=false;}

OnEnable/OnDisable are events that are ran when the gameobject is toggled on or off. You are looking to disable the behavior, not the gameobject itself.

what happens to ownership, vars and udon scripts of disabled objects?

desert grove
#

Nothing, you cannot read the ownership,vars,scripts of an object that is disabled.

sand basalt
#

i mean, if someone was an owner, and then disabled object, and enabled again. is ownership stays with same player or transferred to instance owner? same for vars: are they stay the same or revert to original value?

desert grove
#

You shouldn't be disabling a control. If it stores valuable vars it is a control or it should be. The owner could be reset, it depends on who disabled it. OnEnable and OnDisabled can be used to ensure the ownership is reset.

#

Those are events that are ran when you tick the enabled box or setActive. They run either before start, or just before the object actually goes into hiding

using u#, dealing with a game prefab that spends 500ms in one method that it calls pretty frequently. is there any simple way to give the main thread room to breathe here, or do i have to go hacking and split the work up in some other way

desert grove
#

Split everything that can be split up into their own events, and ensure those events are not called unless required with conditional statements.

#

and predefine as much as possible ahead to avoid re-defining

neat jasper
#

it's a pretty big nightmare, four nested loops for mahjong hand evaluation

desert grove
#

yeah you cant really split up the loops, just the conditions inside the loops

neat jasper
#

i was thinking that my best bet on this might be to try and move the behavior into its own event, make sure all the state inside the loop persists, then just repeatedly run one inner iteration at a time with SendCustomEventDelayedFrames

#

which is pretty invasive and seems fragile, but it's all just raw computation, no networking stuff or gameobject manipulation...

sounds good, just copy your work prior because VS is destructive. Easy to lose your original work once you save to build a test.

Does anyone know how to make a teo handed grip for a pickup. I tried using Transform.LookAt in a graph using the VRC_Pickup.getTransform as the target, but it doesn't seem to follow the pickup at all.

So I'm fairly new to udon, and I have a pickup weapon set to have two hand hold. Currently, I have this behavior applied to the front grip, and I was wondering what I'm doing wrong.

What event do you have? You could simply use a constraint (there is a Look At constraint) instead of making a script for it

ebon musk
#

I tried a constraint but it seems that the gameobject doesn't follow the pickup

ebon musk

#

hm So if you add a constraint you are unable to pick up the objects? Sorry it is a little hard to picture what you have or what you are describing.

ebon musk
# night viper hm So if you add a constraint you are unable to pick up the objects? Sorry it is...

So basically I have a gun with a main grip, to which the VRC pickup and Mesh are attached. I also have a front grip outside the Grip Gameobject with its own pickup component. I want the rotation of the main mesh to be pointed at the second hold point. However, with an aim or look at constraint, while it works if I move the gameobject in the editor, in game if I grab the pickup, it doesn't follow said pickup

#

I made that graph to try to get a similar result but to no avail

night viper
#

I just did a quick test and for me it works fine (made a pickup with a "aim constraint" pointing at a secondary object) and the pickup does points to that second object. I did not test this in VR or with a second Pickup (grip). I will not be able to reply for a bit since I need to head to work. I hope you get it fixed, I would like to know what the problem was since it works on the editor but on on the game, which is strange.

quick question: is there any way to get the player's viewport resolution?
Ideally Id be interested in the viewport resolution in desktop, as well as either single-eye res in VR or combined resolution (which I could later divide anyway!)
I saw Udon has access to the Camera class, but its quite limited and requires a reference. Would getting a player camera reference be possible then?
Unless my approach is wrong, I specifically need this info for some complex-ish camera rendertarget texture shenanigans

As for my issue, I gave up and just did a workaround that is probably more efficient anyways.

I'm using an int.range to generate a number to randomize events in a map, but I don't want it to necessarily activate an event on every roll. So, if I have 100 events, and the roll is 1 - 1000, I just do a check to see if it's 101 or higher, and if so just reset the timer

I don't know if you've figured it out yet, but you can reference the world's reference camera as the camera you mentioned and from there you can get the screen resolution of the player in Udon. I'm not sure about getting individual eye resolutions but it does work for VR and will update with stuff like SteamVR overrides and such. If you have figured it out feel free to ignore me but if you haven't I'd be willing to share my exact setup. It's probably not the best way of doing it but the only way I could figure out that would work.

https://i.imgur.com/mzvGNQf.png I have a pretty simple object pool which spawns these objects that move forward slowly per frame (spawnVelocity here is 0,0,1 passed directly from the script), but for some reason when the spawner is grouped inside another empty game object, they shoot out like 10 times as fast. Any hints on why it's doing this?

Imgur
grand temple
#

does the spawner have a different scale than the object you're putting it in?

#

if it's a mesh it may be scaled to 10 or 100

tawny geyser
#

No, the spawner and the empty group are both 1 scale.

#

I was just using one to organize multiple spawners together.

#

And the objects never reference anything above those parent spawners.

Is there a way to keep the owner an object that's picked up from changing, essentially disable the transfer of ownership when something is held?

#

I have an action that fires when a ball passes through a collider

#

and it fires once for each person in the instance

#

imagine there are other ways to handle it, like turning the collider on only if you're the master

grand temple
#

you can implement OnOwnershipRequest. This is a function that gets called when someone tries to take ownership, and if it returns false the request will be canceled

valid totem
#

ah

#

I will give that a shot

grand temple
#

the event first happens on the client of the person who called SetOwner, and if they return true it will go across the network and then the owner has the opportunity to return as well. If both return true, then it will properly transfer

valid totem
#

thank you @grand temple

tawny geyser
#

Figured it out, they weren't actually moving faster, I had their initial spawn position set to local instead of world so they were shooting to who knows where. 🤦‍♂️

valid totem

When the old master leaves an instance is their ownership status of all gameobjects transferred to the new master in VRC or so we need to handle this ourselves on an event?

So this took me longer than it should have.
Time to toggle objects again, but this time, for everyone! You'll see that syncing is a little bit more complicated than it was in SDK2, so to set everything up we have to tell every player to toggle that object, but also catch up anyone who joins in after the button was pressed!

valid totem
#

thanks

junior lava
#

I should mention this tutorial came out before the VRC Network Update from a few months ago, there might be better ways of handling network syncing now but I'm not versed in them.

valid totem
#

Doesn't seem like there are a lot of tutorials with info that includes the changes, so getting into this right now I bet I'm doing things in an obsolete way heh

#

for me the problem is that the sync'd variables don't seem to actually be sync'd

#

I have to use a customnetworkevent to change a text box for everyone

#

even with ondeserialization the data doesn't come through

junior lava
#

Huh that might be a problem I have on my side too then, from what I understand only the owner of an item can sync its variables?

valid totem
#

or ondeserialization doesn't happen

#

ah yeah I ran into that too

#

I dealt with it like this...

#

I have a collider that triggers when another collider passes through it, in this case a ball

#

but when everyone had the collider it got really weird

#

so when the game is turned on there is a branch that only the master gets the trigger collider enabled

#

that keeps the customevent always running as the master

#

crap, typing this out I think that might be why it's not syncing...

#

but the idea was to force the owner to make the variable updates and then share the variables with the rest of the instance

#

then back to the problem, the variables don't sync

tawny geyser
#

Make sure you aren't getting master and owner confused, they aren't the same thing. Also in your case where you are filtering triggers you usually want to filter those to local player only.

#

So for example actions that you only want to go off for the relevant user like triggers, you'd filter the local player. But if you had something like a global action that goes off on a timer, you'd want the timer filtered by the timer's network owner because you don't want it shooting off multiple times for every person in the instance.

valid totem
#

Okay so the owner and master... it's the owner that does the syncing not the master

tawny geyser
#

Correct. Instance master, in my experience so far, is pretty irrelevant in most cases unless you specifically want it to be for world design reasons.

valid totem
#

and if we're trying to get the entire instance to have the up to date data, the owner needs to sync that but only once so we don't get it going off a bunch

#

in that case we're not sending network events to everyone, just the variables which would come through in the var onchanged or ondeserialization?

unborn hornet
#

Instance master is the default/fallback owner for all objects.

tawny geyser
#

Right, you always want the least amount of data shooting back and forth as possible. What I do for any basic action is split it into three parts: initialization, processing, and update. The initialization happens for everyone, setting up the variables etc. The processing happens only for the network owner of the object - changing the synced variable that will be acted on and then requesting serialization. Then the update method would be called once for the network owner and then for everyone else in OnDeserialization.

valid totem
#

okay

#

great distinction there

#

I think that I've been seeing the master as the owner of everything except for the balls that players pickup and so it looks like the master and owner are equivalent

#

but that's not true, and is probably why it seems so inconsistent

#

do you ever set the owner explicitly on an interact?

tawny geyser
#

In most cases you would set owner to the local player who interacted with it.

valid totem
#

What's the best way to get the name of the owner?

tawny geyser
#

if (!Networking.IsOwner(gameObject)) Networking.SetOwner(Networking.LocalPlayer, gameObject);

#

Oh, the name.

#

Updated that top post to remove my variable. If you want a local player's display name it's Networking.LocalPlayer.displayName

valid totem
#

is the localplayer always the owner?

#

I guess it would be at the time of interaction

tawny geyser
#

No, the network owner for each object defaults to the instance master like Archi said above, but it wouldn't change unless you tell it to or the current owner leaves.

#

So if you want to update a networked object you always have to set the owner to the person making the change.

valid totem
#

got it

tawny geyser
#

If you're doing something with a pickup object that has VRCObjectSync, it's going to automatically change the owner of the pickup to whoever picks it up IIRC.

valid totem
#

yeah that's frustrating

#

in this instance

#

so the object owner can be different than the scorekeeping logic

#

if someone else throws a ball through one of these colliders

tawny geyser
#

If you're filtering a trigger with a pickup object, you can use Networking.GetOwner(otherCollider.gameObject) in the OnTriggerEnter event to see who owned the object that hit the collider.

#

Just make sure you turn off 'Allow Collision Ownership Transfer' on the VRCObjectSync component.

valid totem
#

if we're only enabling the trigger on the owner's instance is that reasonable?

valid totem
#

not using objectsync though, using vrc pickup

Is any control over the avatar movement possible with Udon? Such as making an avatar raise arms and hold a tennis racket in a particular way? What about controlling the movement of the avatar, such as teleporting it within the world if something happens etc.

junior lava
#

You can make them play expressions I believe, but moving an arm in a specific manner seems more intense.

tawny geyser
gloomy apex
#

Well, I was thinking of actions controlled by the world when some event happens. I am guessing it isn't possible what I was thinking of. I guess to do it right the movement would depend on the avatar shape also, if they have a big hand and a long arm or whatever.

valid totem
#

there is in the same hierarchy, but not the same object

#

tawny geyser
#

ObjectSync would force continuous but I'm not sure how your heirarchy setup would be specifically effected. And yea sometimes prefabs are just wonky on their own.

valid totem
#

heh

#

still 2 inches away from starting over in U#

#

Are you able to do regular debugging with U#?

tawny geyser

You can output to the unity debug log.

#

Which leads to another recommendation if you aren't already using it - CyanEmu. Lets you test in unity game tab instead of launching a build.

CyanEmu definitely speeds up iterations when not worrying about networking, thanks!

unless there is a way to have two players in CyanEmu that isn't obvious? I see you can spawn remote players

You are using direct links correct? A standard dropbox share is not a direct link. A direct link is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ [your identifier] / [filename] without the []. Also, if all you want is background music and not a video player, mp3 files can be reduced in size by merging stereo to mono and don't normally take a lot of space unless you are trying to use an hour long recording. In the event of using an mp3, a simple AudioSource set to play on awake works just fine for all.

Hello, not sure if im at the right Spot here but ill try ^^ Im at creating my first VRChatworld atm and i ran into a little problem. I mostly use Udon Graph and wanted to set up "unique" Objects wich are pickups and should then interact with an specific Box Collider each to then get Events done wich SetActive stuff play Sounds, effects etc. So the pickup is "placed" there and stuf happens essentially.

I just cant figure out what exactly to do in Graph to get that Trigger to work for the Pickup and Zone where it interacts and cant find any Tutorial on that for Udon Graph either.

(Its the stuff before i send the "CustomNetworkEvent" wich i just dont get i guess something with the "OnTriggerEnter" or "OnCollisionEnter" Events but i just dont get it how to set that up for object and triggerzone. /+later on multiple objects)

Hope someone here can help me out ^^

junior lava
#

Oh wait, you're saying you have multiple objects that use the same behaviour? You can check the gameobject's name, or assign to them an ID you set?

valid totem
#

I have two box colliders that are triggers, they share the same udon behavior. The udon behavior increments a public int when a ball collider passes through the trigger and fires OnTriggerExit. If one of the triggers is hit twice the count goes up from 0 to 2, if we then throw another ball and it hits the other collider the count goes from 0 to 1, then if we hit the first collider again the count goes from 2 to 3. I'm trying to get these colliders to act as one

#

I'm trying putting the behavior on a parent object of the two colliders and seeing if that makes a difference

junior lava
#

What I would do:

Make a parent object with a separate class that includes the counter

In the OnTriggerExit, just call parentObject.IterateCounter

So that the shared logic is handled from an external class.

#

And the code attached to the colliders is just... Collider handling.

valid totem
#

ohh right on

#

so colliders have their own behavior

#

a method in the parent object's behavior is called by the children

What's the error?

indigo wagon
#

it was telling me taht delta time wasnt usable like a method but it fixed itself by me adding a fake out else statement so ig it just didnt recompile

#

now that debug.log is giveing me fps values like 200

Iis each Udon Behaviour component a separate instance? for example, two buttons with the same script acting independently of one another?

tawny geyser
#

Yes, if you put the same behaviour in two different buttons they'll run separately and use their own public variables from the inspector etc. Editing the source script would change all of them.

valid totem
#

oof

#

how do I watch for trigger events from other objects? sending customnetworkevent?

#

Like, the main logic on the root object and each function of the machine is a different script on separate child objects using custom events networked or otherwise?

#

guess this is where the access modifiers come into play

tawny geyser
#

I'm not really sure what you mean but it's object-oriented so you can either send network events to communicate between behaviours or just directly reference public methods and variables.

I'm trying to understand the typical design pattern for udon

and I guess unity in general

Hello hello, random question.

Is it possible to control a post processing value using udon graph ?

#

I vaguely remember it possible using an animator back in the time.

fiery yoke
lilac hatch
#

So that didn't change, gotcha

fiery yoke
#

At least not yet. Who knows if it ever will

lilac hatch

Will have a look at some prefabs/tutorial tomorrow, been a while since I did that

thanks you as always for the fast answer

#

uh

#

anyone know of or have the script that disables (that purple tthing that people use to fly/ apparently i cant say that word) in an udon world?

#

didnt realised you couldnt say anything relating to those mods

#

@fiery yoke any idea?

desert grove
#

So basically that exploit unlocks the controller allowing you to move freely without a ground check right. Roughly and poorly explained no doubt. It isnt setup to look for anything other than your player controller. So if you setup a system to auto assign a player to a station that isnt permitted to leave a specified y value then you break that attempt. In theory anyway. Outside of trying something like that, you can't control anyone using an exploit. You can report them and then block.

#

HOWEVER these same clients can directly toggle behaviors so any script or safety you create can be bypassed anyway. The only solution is for VRC to start being proactive.

I have a question i was updating a world and then i change the build and it frooze or its just slow idk but it doesn't that unity isn't working so don't think its crashing is it just slow or something it's stuck on importing

Hey guys, I'm working on a concept at the moment and i had a couple of newbie questions

#

Can udon scripts be assigned to a vrc avatar? Or do they have to be in worlds?

#

And is it possible for udon to relay avatar bone location/rotation data to a shader?

tall vault
#

Udon is only for worlds, at least for now

#

And you should be able to set shader variables

near steeple
#

Ah okay

#

Thank you for the help!

what programming langauge is udon based on? also what type of restrictions are on it for quest? Im a newbie

grand temple
#

Udon most closely matches C#. I don't think there are any quest-specific restrictions for udon

valid totem
#

Anyone know of an example that shows resetting an objects location to it's starting coords? I saw somewhere that this was made easier with the networking upgrade

#

@tawny geyser linking the different classes together using [SerializeField] works great by the way, thanks for pointing that out

Could anyone share an example of how to use VRCObjectSync.Respawn() in udonsharp please?

            VRCObjectSync obj = (VRCObjectSync)GetComponent(typeof(VRCObjectSync));
            if (Utilities.IsValid(obj))
            {
                Networking.SetOwner(Networking.LocalPlayer, obj.gameObject);
                obj.Respawn();
            }```
valid totem
#

So there is no need to specify which object is getting reset?

grand temple
#

you definitely need to specify which object, that's what getcomponent is for

lilac hatch
#

Right now ; I'm trying to simply recreate that on udon graph (funny graph) but I'm stuck concerning the Animator.Update function ; as in ; Can't find it in the class tree.

grand temple
#

In udon, you would SendCustomEvent to an udonbehaviour and then the udonbehaviour would have a reference to the slider, where it would get the value from

lilac hatch
#

(I be very tired, nearly sure it's easy but eheh)

#

Well ; Post Processing can't be used in udon, does it ?

grand temple
#

oh, no you have to animate post processing weight

lilac hatch
#

Let me update the SDK quickly and i'll show what I mean, I basically can't find the Animator.Update

grand temple
#

I don't think UI elements can control animators in SDK3, that's for security reasons

lilac hatch
#

but i might just very tired

grand temple
#

and getting a slider to control an animator is extremely cursed anyway

lilac hatch
#

oh well

#

Updating the SDK fixed the issue :omeg

grand temple
#

so what you can do instead is have the slider control the udonbehaviour which properly sets an animator float that can be used in a blend tree

lilac hatch
#

Bless, I should remember to update stuffs before asking here

grand temple
#

I don't think that will work, it'll probably remove it ingame

viscid reef
lilac hatch
#

I'm using it inside a udon graph, should be fine right ?

grand temple

yes of course

gud gud, time to try it

I’m getting an issue that occurs only when uploading an Udon world, for some reason the world will upload fine, but then when I go into vrc to test it out it loads in, goes black, reloads and chucks me into my home world.

Thank you, it does have a spawn point so that’s why I was confused

I’ll try out that toolkit though!

how do i make if object collide and check it tag

tall vault
#

You can't get an object's tag in Udon, but you could work around it by adding something identifiable to the object's name

my mirror in my udon world is acting like this and cant find way to fix it

Anyone know of any good tutorials for objectpool usage? I want a pickup to spawn on the hip of every player who joins

midnight beacon
hexed yarrow
#

When it comes to syncing an object's position what is the best way to do that?

ebon musk
#

That's worked for me. The only exception is if it is a pickup with multiple pickup components on different parts

hexed yarrow
#

Urmm yea ngl I put that on but for some odd reason for the other players. The item just floats

ebon musk
#

Is it a pickup?

#

And is this cross platform or just one platform?

hexed yarrow
#

Just one platform and it isn't a pickup. I just want an object that'll slide between two positions

ebon musk
#

Huh. I haven't had any issues, even with crossplatform

Does someone know how to detect a specific player by using Udon?
I think the VRChat given ID is the one on the picture below, but I'm not sure how to use this ID for determining whether the player can use a gimmick.

To be specific, I want to make only one specific player can fire my gun gimmick.

I'm curious, I want to create a small counter thing, Kinda like a collectable counter. I have 25 Crates that would be collected that are scattered around the map but how would I go about making a counter that will do a certain action after reaching 25?

junior lava
last geyser
junior lava
#

That's very simple, I'll code it up when I'm at my pc, but basically :

Have a code, let's call it crate manager, have an int counter initialized to 0
Give the manager a public method Iterate Counter that just does counter ++ followed by checking if your counter == 25

In your crate code, have a reference to the manager, and onuse call the iterate counter method.

I'm not sure how to make custom methods in Udon Graph, I imagine it's possible but I was looking for an example of how to do it the other day and couldn't figure it out.
