you may need to set the particle material to double-sided.

unless you set it up differently, particles usually face the player -- and if the player is looking at the mirror, they'll see the back-faces of the particles (which are likely culled by the shader)

(they might also be on a layer that the mirror isn't set to show)

[zinc robin]

Oo i got it was 😄

put it on double sided and its good

[fallen chasm]

👍

[pearl tiger]

Thx so much that helped a lot

[sacred pasture]

guys please help, does anyone know how to remove element from array in udon?

[grand temple]

if you need to remove the value in the index set it to null

or if you need to actually remove the index entirely, you would have to create a new array with one less length and then copy over everything from the old array

[sacred pasture]

No other way huh...

Btw there is debug log in udon, but where can I find it's output?

[grand temple]

if you have --enable-debug-gui added to your launch parameters (this is done by default for local tests) you can find it ingame by pressing rshift + tilde + 3

or you can also find the file itself in appdata/locallow/vrchat

[sacred pasture]

Thanks

[sacred pasture]

is playerId consistent between clients?

[grand temple]

yes

[scarlet lake]

what version of unity do I need for udon sharp?

[tawny geyser]

[shy yoke]

How much do I have to play to make an avatar in UNITY?

[summer lichen]

It can take 12 to 24 hours in-game hours before you can upload something.

[shy yoke]

oh,

thanks

[summer lichen]

You are very welcome!

[shy yoke]

thankyou. You're very kind.

[sacred pasture]

how do you destroy gameobject? Networking.Destroy dont do anything...

oh i thing i find it

[grand temple]

just regular destroy

[sacred pasture]

search didn't show it in result so i assumed that networking is the only one

yep it works

[sacred pasture]

what a correct way to get PlayerApi from collider? Currently i trying this (image) but something goes terribly wrong

[grand temple]

you cannot get a player from a raycast

if your raycast hits a player, it will give you a protected object which means you won't be able to do anything with it

[sacred pasture]

Is there a way to handle raycasts hitting players?

[fiery yoke]

No. Because VRChat didn't think it would be a good idea to handle collisions with player in a generic way, by giving you the ability to get the player api from a collider proxy, but instead they added seperate new events that only work for physics collisions. 🙃

[tall vault]

Either use the OnPlayerTriggerEnter/Exit events or you will have to set up your own collider to follow the player's head bone position

[sacred pasture]

It works with slow moving objects, fast moving ones just go through the collider...

Or I could just use veeery long trigger collider, but it will go through obstacles as well...

[stone kelp]

Is there a way to counter Udon mods/cheaters that disables the floor for everyone in the lobby?

[broken bear]

Do you have a custom event that disables colliders?

If I have an event that checks if the local player is owner of the UB object then request serialization, is that necessary? Does request serialization already do an ownership check already under the hood and I’m just doubling up the check?

[stone kelp]

No

But sometimes in public lobbies client users joins in and disables everything in the world making people just fall forever until the client abuser leaves the instance then everything resets by itself

Was thinking if there was anything we can do in Udon to prevent client abusers from ruining the instance

Of course the easiest way to prevent this is by just going to a private instance but I get reports, maybe once every 2 weeks directly reported to me that X person joins their public lobby then right after they abuse and disable everything

[sacred pasture]

is there a way to attack UdonBehaviour to player's gameobject?

probably not, but still)

[grand temple]

if you mean attach, then yes you can get a player's tracking data

[sacred pasture]

yes, attach, on i mean as component

[grand temple]

no

[sacred pasture]

but now i thinking about it... i dont actually need to

thanks

going to do some more experimentations)

[oak marten]

I'm trying to create a button in node graph that teleports another player to the initiating player's position. The button in question is owned by the person you are trying to teleport, when another user clicks this button it sends a networking event to this owner and asks them to teleport to the initiating player, it knows who the initiating player was due to a synced variable. Yet try as I might, I can't seem to get the process working. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm waiting a second to make sure the PlayerID of the initiator deserializes.

[grizzled trout]

what you might want to try to do is kinda janky but might work, set it towhere a button spawns an empty on to the initiating player and use that as your target

[oak marten]

I had considered that, as well as maybe moving an "on enter collider" teleport to the player I am trying to "grab" - but I was wondering if there was a cleaner solution. Thanks!

[grizzled trout]

good luck bud, yeah i am kinda new to more advanced things , so i dont really knw alot yet 😆

[indigo finch]

Here's my two cents. From what I can tell, you actually want this to be two different objects. Object A is like you have; It is owned by a player (though there is no reason why it cant be just a playerapi variable elsewhere), and we will set this object's owner to the player we want to teleport. Then we want object B to be a button, that when pressed, changes it's owner to be the player you want them to teleport to. Then, you just need to do a simple event node for when the owner changes, teleport object A's owner to object B's owners position (or if no change, do an on interact instead).

That being said, this was only based on what it seemed like you were trying to do. It might not be the best way to go about it.

[wind atlas]

This works too, without calling a custom events:

I’m trying to use udon sharp with sdk 3. But anytime I import the sdk on unity 2018.4.20f1 (what udon sharp is asking for) .. the sdk does not work. But when I load up the project as 2019.4.31f1 (what vrchat is asking for).. udon sharp does not work. I’ve seen people use it before, so I don’t get what’s happening.

What am I doing wrong?

[dreamy gorge]

are requests allowed with udon ? how should i do this

all i need to do is make a single request to my php script that returns a list of URLs

[fiery yoke]

No, they are not.

[dreamy gorge]

Oh okay thank you.

[oak marten]

Hmm must be something scuffy, mine is set up in more or less exactly the same way! Thanks though

[grizzled trout]

i was wondering if i could get help with a thing. i am trying to make a "ban hammer" so when a player i marked as a mod activates it, a giant hammer is "summand" connected their, and then anyone hit with it will be sent in a portal and sent out of the instance. i got some of it working but the hammer only shows for the one who activated it.

if it helps here is the script/code/graph to activat the hammers

[thorny silo]

Are there any known prefabs that I can use to set player spawn based on usernames?

For example if a player has a specific username they could spawn in an admin location or something along those lines

If there aren’t any, does anyone know how I could possibly make it?

[next spruce]

Is it possible to make an object play different music after clicking it again with Udon? If there is a video explaining this it would be very useful

[thorny silo]

try looking up cyantriggers, or check out the music player here - https://github.com/Varneon/UdonEssentials

[grizzled trout]

where it says"therestraycat" you can swap that with your username

[thorny silo]

where would i find this, and also how would i be able to apply this to multiple usernames?

[grizzled trout]

you have to make it, sorry slected the wromg mesage to reply to

you have to make it,

and basikly ad the middle part tochek for if its not actor a see if its actor b

[indigo finch]

to have multiple admins, you would just need to make a list of string names, and then cycle through them with a for loop

[thorny silo]

alright dope, thank you!

[indigo finch]

you would probably want to make them respawn at that room whenever they hit the respawn button. here's an addition that would do so

(couldn't remember if respawn event only fire's for the respawning player or everyone...)

[thorny silo]

oh awesome, i appreciate all of this!!!

[indigo finch]

here's the code:

[thorny silo]

Yo thank you so much

this is awesome

Can you force play animation on player avatar? I want to create death mechanic.

[near swallow]

I haven't seen anything except for ragdoll so I'm not sure

[sacred pasture]

How do you do that?

[indigo finch]

Whoops, looks like it broken. Try 2:

[brazen epoch]

I'm having issues with UI buttons accepting raycasted input. I'm being forced to use colliders and the Interact event when I do have the UI Button set to send a behavior a custom event, but the event isn't being called.

Can Colliders block raycast?

nvm. It seems like I forgot to change the layer of the ui to default and add the VRCUI Shape script to the canvas

[brittle hill]

Hi, I'm tryin to have some buttons in a world to change skybox, weather, etc... But I cant find a way to bring the skybox texture into the udon graph...
How can I do that?
edit: I already have the materials in vrc scene descriptor in dynamic materials

[wind atlas]

If you want to play a custom animation, you could force the player in a seat with an animation controller that plays it on enter.

There is also the combat system, when you set the payer hp to 0, their avatar ragdolls. Although you are not supposed to use it as seen here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/players#combat-system

[wind atlas]

That stuff can be done in "RenderSettings".

[brittle hill]

i know, but i cant find a way to get the texture into udon that i can use as value

[grand temple]

make a public material variable

and then create a material that you can drop into the inspector of the udonbehaviour

scene descriptor dynamic materials are not what you want, that's an old legacy thing from SDK2

[brittle hill]

nvm i have it working with a cube that got the texture and gettexture of that cube with setskybox 😅

[grand temple]

What why

That's so unnecessary

[brittle hill]

it works, thats all i wanted 😅

i may change it later but for now its just enough for me

[trail summit]

Does anyone have an udon tree that will make an object a toggle for local world music? 🙏

or a reference/guide of somekind would me much appreciated

I scoured everywhere I could and theres no results

[dreamy gorge]

i think this is what you mean...?

this isnt exactly for a music toggle but it still toggles whatever gameobject you wire it up with

Not sure, I'm not a designer. I've just seen it around a lot

[broken aurora]

Sorry guys, I have little problem.
I watch tutorial movie and dont have Create>U# Script. What could be the reason? What would i have to do?

[arctic palm]

i cant find any tutorial on making/getting local data linked to 1 player (like stats/money of a player)

first time using udon and i just want to do a basic, click on a cube and update any variable of the player who clicked it, so no networking

[gaunt musk]

#udon-general message

[indigo finch]

For most old vrchat interactions, you normally just have all variables stored on the object itself, hence the lack of tutorials.
That being said, for money storing and the likes, since your not making it public you can just add an empty gameobject to your scene that stores the values. If you wanted to move it to be networked later, then you would have to go through the tediousness of assigning a different networked object to each player

[trail summit]

Is Event Interact the same thing?

[dreamy gorge]

No

That’s when you interact with a pickup object iirc

I just had a custom event , you can choose whatever one u want

[trail summit]

I'm still trying to figure out how I can incorporate a play from beginning function and stop toggle

[scarlet lake]

Hey dose anybody know if i can make Avatars on my touch screen computer? because my other one broke and it wasn't touch screen

[thorn folio]

how to set onplayertriggerenter to be a local trigger?

[night viper]

You would set up a branch that checks if the one entering the trigger is the local player.

[thorn folio]

is there a tutorial there for local triggers?

[night viper]

This flow will continue if the player entering the trigger collider is the local player, otherwise it will do nothing.

[scarlet lake]

I have a question

Well a problem

[thorn folio]

Thank you soo much

[blissful shore]

I need help with this

Happy new year by the way

[velvet needle]

Hello, I am trying to make it possible for avatars in my world to "glide" much like in Population One, where they can open their arms and glide until they land on something. Does anyone know how to do this?

[ashen ibex]

you could try to get the positions of both hands and depending on how far they are from each other it changes gravity

[ashen ibex]

you can put a branch in between trigger enter and voice gain to hook up the player local bool

[vestal nimbus]

I'm making a gimmick which can make random portal every time you use it by using Random.Range() method, but for some reason each player in the same world get different Room ID.
So does any one know how to Sync the same RoomID(string) for every player?

Here is my Udon# script

[grand temple]

on start, only run those things if you're the owner of this object

and then instead, for everybody who is not the owner, run those things from the OnDeserialization event. That is an event that fires when you receive synced data

if you just run it on start for all the players in the same way, then #1: start is too early to receive synced data, and #2: you're recreating the roomID immediately before setting the portalmarker so it's not going to use a synced value, it's just going to use the new random one that was just generated locally on all clients

[vestal nimbus]

I'm going to try it again by using your suggestion! Thank you for your assisting 😭

[indigo wagon]

how do I get sliders to work in udon?

trying to update a var with one

[dapper lion]

ingraph or usharp?

[indigo wagon]

graph prefrably cus havent imported sharp

[dapper lion]

k - so what youre going to want is a public slider.
with that slider, youre going to put its node in the graph, get the "Slider.GetValue" node and thatll be a float that you can then use to set it be updated sync wise or to update an audio source.

[indigo wagon]

k so slider.getvalue is a thing

got it

[thin kestrel]

Hey so does anyone know how to make firework launchers? I have seen some in a few worlds and I assume they are Udon.
And would they be Quest compatible?

[blissful shore]

Thank you!!! Happy new year!!! I'll try it now and see if it works.

[indigo wagon]

could trigger an animation, or do it manualy in code
button trigering anim is prob best

[thin kestrel]

Hm yep don't know how to do that.
I think people use a preset online, but the only one I could find is SDK2 unfortunately...

Thank you for the suggestion though

[ashen ibex]

I havent seen the specific launchers you've seen but if i were to create one, i would have a button and a particle system

event interact would then set emission on the particle system to on and boom you're now firing a particle system. as for making it turn off by itself im dumb idk how to do that with graph

[thin kestrel]

The one I have seen is like a firework gun, and I think they had different explosions, so it might be above my head

Unless it's actually really easy I suppose...

[ashen ibex]

so i took the getplayer prefab and was messing around with it but instead of using a button to update it im was looking to have it update off of intervals.
now the problem though is that when set to event update or event fixedupdate... it doesnt actually update... anybody got some weird wacky fix that i dont get?

[ashen ibex]

at that point its just really nice particles hooked up to a button

[thin kestrel]

I believe you
But I also sort of just figured out how to use Unity for this stuff just yesterday so I have no idea how particles work hah...

I can't even get the QV Drawing Pencils thing to import properly

[ashen ibex]

fair enough, welcome to the rabbit hole

[thin kestrel]

It's ok I figured out how to make a box collider so now I am a pro

[ashen ibex]

hell yeah, theres nothing that can stop you now

[dreamy gorge]

how can i get the local player's name with udon?

what im missing ^^

thank you :D

fixed graph for anyone who stumbles upon it

[void sandal]

The builder for some reason isnt showing up. Is there any way of fixing this?

[tacit pasture]

any way to detect players who are in a noclip state eg using a client because it cant be detected by simple trigger coliders, any ideas appreciated

@fiery yoke any ideas?

[vague rampart]

Add the GameObject to the spawns list in the VRC_SceneDescriptor.

whats the VRC_SceneDescriptor and how do I add the game object to it

[vague rampart]

thanks a lot

all make sense? need anything else just ask

[vague rampart]

yea, thx a lot

[blissful shore]

This still does not work. Does anyone know how to use: set voice near/far and volumetric radius in udon?

[blissful shore]

HAppy new year by the way:)

[arctic palm]

so i got 2 gameobject, 1 cylinder with oninteract script and an empty gameobject to store local data, such as money and other stuff.
how can i get the public variables of the Stats into the Cylinder udon graph ?
EDIT : found out how

[blissful shore]

I'm trying to make it so that everyone in the room can hear the audio of the player on stage. I did it perfectly with sdk2 .

[crystal crest]

Question!!
I was wondering if there was either;

A decent Udon tutorial where i can make my own super powered system? (Specifically Web Slinging similar to spider lair or paradox)
Or if there wasn't, would anyone be willing to make a prefab of such system? Or commission of such?
I'm looking to make my own worlds in the future and i would love to add things such as the double jumps and grinds afterdark + jet set radio has.
But im more focused on getting something like the web slinging as well.

Thank you for your time, all help appreciated!

[arctic palm]

would like to know how to show the debug log (rshift + ` + 3) on an azerty keyboard, bc i need to press 2 keys (alt gr + 7) to make a backtick

i can using US keyboard but annoying if anyone found how on french keyboard (azerty)

[grand temple]

For non-wasd keyboards what matters is the position of the key, not the exact key. Try just pressing whatever is to the left of 1 or below esc

[arctic palm]

oh

will try

but i got into another issue, i build and test using 2 clients but only 1 of them had the debug UI working

dont know if thats normal or im dumb

[grand temple]

Never heard of that problem before

[peak thicket]

dose anyone know a video that explains how to do button links

[worthy dome]

hey yall, i'm following the networked slider tutorial to get started with networking, but it doesn't seem like my custom event is being fired. the Start event works, and if I swap the custom event out for Update, it works correctly, so I'm assuming I messed something up with the custom event. any ideas for what's going wrong?

[grand temple]

Don't combine flow into one place like that, things can break

Instead you can just have start do sendcustomevent

[worthy dome]

oh, good to know

i'll try that out instead

swapped to this, interestingly now only the start event works

should note that i'm messing with the slider in the editor inspector, not sure if that changes anything.

will try it out in-game.

yeah, that was the issue

used it in runtime and it worked fine

[arctic palm]

i guess i had a random bug, working fine

i've seen someone managed to make a save system using avatars, first i'd like to know if vrchat allows that and i'd like to know how they did it.
would be good if we could have a db to store and get data from

[fiery yoke]

1. That System is not supported by VRChat but it's not against any rules either.
2. The VRChat Devs have announced that they want to make a system that allows saving some data per world, but there isn't any more concrete info on that yet.
3. Storing anything on an external Database of any sort will probably never be directly supported.

[arctic palm]

do you think they'll 'patch' that system, cause i feel like its using avatars as db which isnt made for that

[crystal crest]

are u sure its avatars?
I saw another save system that was using numbers or something. Just udon stuff.

[fiery yoke]

You would really have to understand how it works, but I would say it's unlikely, however not impossible ofcourse. But as I said they do want to make an official solution, just no idea when or how.

[fiery yoke]

You either have the avatar save system, or using text-input

[crystal crest]

ohh, cool then!
Can't wait til vrchat has custom menu + world saving with udon.

[arctic palm]

problems with text input is that it could technicaly be hacked

[crystal crest]

Theyre focusing on the bones thing first though so i can wait

[arctic palm]

also its annoying

[arctic palm]

so you know how to save using avatars ?

i cant think of any data that could be used and modified using an avatar to make saving data per player

but again i know nothing about udon and avatar /vrchat, started udon today

[worthy dome]

not sure if this is relevant to the channel since it's not directly related to udon (though it's using it), but i can't actually interact with this slider in-game

it works fine in the editor playtest, but it does nothing in the client

[ashen ibex]

you might need to mess with the layer matrix like i did, for the object that the collider is on you can make a new layer

make a new layer for stuff like collider local stuff
then go to edit> project sewttings> physics> and you should have a weird chart under layer collision matrix, you should see the newly named layer, check off everything but playerlocal on the columb and it should work
the sdk will probably want you to recaclulate the layers but if you redo the procedure it should work again

[grand temple]

Do you have a VRCUIShape on the canvas?

[worthy dome]

no i did not

that fixed it, thank you

[ashen ibex]

so im building this UI to record the people of the lobby, im ussing a modified GetPlayers prefab but it only updates once and thats it, anybody know how to get it to update more than once? either constantly or when Event Onplayerjoin or onplayerleave is called? event update or fixedupdate so far isnt doing jack diddly squat

i switched it back to intaract for now just to see if it was an event thing i was messing up

[grand temple]

I would bet that the reason why it's only updating once is because the script is crashing. You can open your log ingame with rshift + tilde + 3 or navigate to the file in appdata/locallow/vrchat to see what the error is

[ashen ibex]

okay cool lemme check that

im assuming its this error

[grand temple]

Yes, you can hold tab to free the cursor and click on the button top left to expand the error and see what it actually says

[ashen ibex]

Ah

boolean go brr i guess

[grand temple]

The problem is that you're doing a for loop through the entire array of players, but some of the elements of that array are empty

you cannot get IsUserInVR on a player that does not exist, that's what crashes the script

so what you need to do is add an isvalid node to the beginning of that for loop so you make sure the player is valid before doing anything with it

[ashen ibex]

oh yeah that thing, yeah lemme try that thank you so much

ayyyyyyyy it works ty so much for the info ❤️

[vagrant sparrow]

trying to set up Songs that play depending on which button you press, currently this Udon graph works, but ONLY if the audio is set to Play on Wake, which I don't want

[indigo finch]

Your currently toggling the object. You want to tell the audio source to play/pause/stop the music. This might help: https://youtu.be/cQ3hWKY-NiA

[vagrant sparrow]

wow thank you thats a way easier script lol

so this allows me to play the audio file, what sort of change do I make to the script to toggle it on/off?

[night viper]

You could have just 1 audio source and change the audio clip on interact. Depending on what button you click it changes to that specific clip you want.

Just like that script, but you add Set Clip before play, and on the inspector you add the music you want it to play when you click that button. Then you can use the same script on all the other buttons

[indigo finch]

You may want to do the method above, but if your keeping to your method, you will want to get a bool of whether or not the audio source is playing, and put that bool into a branch node, so if it is playing, stop. And if it isn't playing, start

[vagrant sparrow]

Is TargetAudioSource the same as AudioSource?

oh duh thats the variable

[scarlet lake]

When will vrchat work with hand tracking on the oculus quest 2?

[blissful shore]

This is awesome ! Thank you !

[blissful shore]

Happy new year!!! 🙂 Does anyone know how to use the set voice distance near ? im trying to use a collider to trigger it. Please help im making a concert space.

this is what i got so far and it does not work 😄

[tacit harness]

Is there a way to turn off the auto compiling of the udon graph ?
Im working on a big graph and its quite annoying that udon keeps compiling every single thing i do and i need to wait 3-5 seconds every time

if there is a way please let me know that would make my life so much better

[covert dragon]

Why does this work

But this doesn't?

Both completely different projects

Both are being called on update

[grand temple]

the way that you're using the vector3 distance for multiple different flow paths might be breaking

try duplicating all those nodes and using the separate copy for the separate flow path

or just do it once and set a variable, then use that variable instead of the nodes

[covert dragon]

The other one is just for debugging

Because it wasn't working

It connects to a text asset

[grand temple]

yes, but when you use one node's variables for two different flows the compiler has a bug where it doesn't work properly

[covert dragon]

Okay I'll try it but I'm telling you it wasn't working before, which is why I added the text to it in the first place so I could make sure it was getting the distance properly

[grand temple]

are you getting any errors? What does the text say?

[covert dragon]

No errors

The text is just the distance

[grand temple]

are you getting the debug logs saying in range/out of range?

[covert dragon]

It runs it all once, but doesn't repeat

Yes I am

[grand temple]

wait you're saying it doesn't repeat, does that mean the script is crashing?

[covert dragon]

Yes

I think

[grand temple]

because that would be an error

[covert dragon]

But it's not giving me an error in the console

[grand temple]

is the object getting disabled them?

[covert dragon]

Yes

[grand temple]

oh wait yeah, the whole point of this is that it disables itself

is that.... not what you want?

sounds like it's working as intended

or at least as programmed

[covert dragon]

It's not activating when I go in range

[grand temple]

because the object is disabled

the script won't run if it's disabled

[covert dragon]

🤣

[grand temple]

if the script is on this object at least

[covert dragon]

I'm an idiot

You're right

LMAO

I didn't even think about that

Smh

Thanks

<3

Hate that I can't use my emotes here

[blissful shore]

NICE Ill try and see what happens thank you !

[amber kindle]

Hello, I'm trying to snap a vrc pickup to another object in U#. I got it working in CyanEmu/Unity but in VRChat the pickups keep falling through the ground even though gravity is turned off on the rigid body.
This is the Udon/U# I got:

    public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider) {
        GameObject otherObject = collider.gameObject;
        Debug.Log("Collision detected " + otherObject.name);

        containedObject = otherObject;
        Rigidbody otherRigidBody = otherObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        VRC_Pickup otherPickup = (VRC_Pickup)otherObject.GetComponent(typeof(VRC_Pickup));
        otherPickup.Drop();

        // IsKinematic doesn't work in VRChat? Object keeps falling even though gravity is off
        otherRigidBody.collisionDetectionMode = CollisionDetectionMode.ContinuousSpeculative;
        otherRigidBody.isKinematic = true;
        otherRigidBody.useGravity = false;
        otherRigidBody.detectCollisions = false;

        // Snap object by setting parent and resetting local transform
        containedObject.transform.SetParent(plateTransform);
        containedObject.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        containedObject.transform.localEulerAngles = Vector3.zero;
    }

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[grand temple]

does otherRigidbody have a vrc objectsync?

[amber kindle]

Yes it does. I tried to turn it off in code but I don't think thats possible since there is no component class for it.

[grand temple]

objectsync controls the state of kinematic and gravity in order to handle syncing. Instead, it has a function that is exposed to udon to setkinematic and setgravity through the objectsync itself

[amber kindle]

Ah that makes sense. Thanks.
I will try to get that component on the gameobject then, even though I could only find VRC_Pickup and no VRC_ObjectSync.
It was only documented for SDK2 here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_objectsync so I thought SDK3 would respect the rigid body options.

Works like a charm. Thanks again!

how to udon?!?!?!

[unborn hornet]

?whatisudon

[hidden marten]

VRChat Udon is a programming language built by the VRChat Development Team for use in VRChat worlds! It enables complex behaviors and logic in VRChat worlds. Read more about Udon in our documentation: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon

[frank aspen]

this is happening to me every time i try to test the world im creating

[worthy dome]

just making sure i understand networking correctly: one player owns ALL networked objects, correct? or can different things have seperate owners?

[topaz jetty]

there can be separate owners, but by default the first person that joins becomes owner of all objects. You can change the owner of an object with ```cs
Networking.SetOwner(Networking.LocalPlayer, this.gameObject);

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb6ZYBEhxiI this video explains it pretty well

[worthy dome]

can only the current owner set the new owner, or can anybody take ownership?

[topaz jetty]

anybody can take ownership, but if you want to protect against people using malicious clients that force ownership transfer, you can use OnOwnershipRequest:

bool OnOwnershipRequest(VRCPlayerApi requester, VRCPlayerApi newOwner) Fired when an UdonBehaviour is going to change owner. Returning true will accept the change in ownership, and returning false will reject the change in ownership.

[indigo wagon]

how do i get movement input in U#?

[indigo finch]

Officially, it would be:

public override void InputMoveHorizontal(float value, UdonInputEventArgs args) { }
public override void InputMoveVertical(float value, UdonInputEventArgs args) { }

But you could also do...
Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)
Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)
Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)
Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)
for desktop, and...
Input.GetAxisRaw("Oculus_CrossPlatform_PrimaryThumbstickHorizontal");
Input.GetAxisRaw("Oculus_CrossPlatform_PrimaryThumbstickVertical");
for VR (depreciated I believe)

[indigo wagon]

get keys is a bad idea

also whats "public override void", ive never seen that before

ik void is a function

[indigo finch]

It all depends on how you use it

[indigo wagon]

im useing it to see if someone is walking rather than slightly flinching

[indigo finch]

then get key technically would work. desktop users don't have any tracking that moves them. that being said, you likely want to test how long they are moving to see if they are flinching

[indigo wagon]

them flinching would be a change in player position

movement is done by stick/wasd

[indigo finch]

It is a function. a normal function would be:

private void FunctionName()

but a if it is a public function, then we would go:

public void FunctionName()

but as this is a function inhereted from another c# script (a standard vrchat event), we need to do an override too, making it:

public override void FunctionName()

[indigo wagon]

ig that could be cheezed by walking irl but if someones doing that they deserve to avoid encounters

[indigo wagon]

ah so VRC only functions need to be public override

[indigo finch]

yup, any event from udon graph (onJoin, onpickup, onplayertriggerenter, etc) requires it to be a public override void

you can also start typing public override void to see all the functions available to you ^^

[indigo wagon]

i use VS code so that prob wont function

[indigo finch]

using the events 'InputMoveHorizontal' and ' InputMoveVertical' seems to be how vrchat wants creators to be getting the inputs

[indigo finch]

ah, rip. lol

[indigo wagon]

HMM?

[vagrant sparrow]

thank you for puttin this together and sorry to bother, but Im having trouble fulling putting this together

I've set up my graph the same, but I think I have something wrong in the Inspector

[vagrant sparrow]

hey bush! would you be able to show me an example of this?

im new to Udon/scripting in general so its a bit abstract for me to understand where to properly place the boolean

[indigo finch]

Something like this:

[vagrant sparrow]

wow I was way off xD thank you!

trying to learn what each node does individually to make sense of it

[indigo finch]

yea, can take a while to get your head around. Keep at it ^^

[vagrant sparrow]

yeah a lot of different parts haha spent a good amount of time working out the little logic pieces and interactions

[indigo finch]

Honestly, I think this is a better solution if your after a music changer. Also, your script looks correct, but I think you miss what it's meant to do. This script will have 1 audio source, but will change what music clip is being played by that audio source

then you won't have an explosion of audio sources, as well as you won't have to manage what other audio sources are playing

unless your after a mixing setup where you can play multiple tracks at once

[vagrant sparrow]

I just want each button to trigger a different song, but stop the previous song and play the new one

also want each button to start/stop the song

[indigo finch]

yea, having multiple audio sources is gonna be a pain for that. all you need to do is a check as to whether or not the clip is the same as the one currently playing

[vagrant sparrow]

and the script youre showing achieves that?

testing now, lets see what I messed up

yeah it works, just the songs dont start/stop if you click on another song

any way I can check if ANY other songs are playing?

[indigo finch]

the script I shows will start and stop playing that song, but it cant see any others

[indigo finch]

not in a simple discord explanation. better to modify the other guys script

[vagrant sparrow]

gotcha, thanks for all your help!

[indigo finch]

You'll want something along the line of this:

[vagrant sparrow]

holy shit 👀

thank you xD

I really appreciate the explanations

[indigo finch]

hope it helps ^^

[thorn folio]

Do anyone have the collar prefab that is in the room of the rain?

[brittle hill]

I want to change the rotation of a light using transform->set rotation, but when I enter the values for x,y and z and i save, they somehow get resetted to 0 when i reopen udon again...
anybody any idea?

[brazen epoch]

Is there a method that's more optimized to use than Update

or should I perhaps combine logic into a single Update loop

[dawn forge]

I'd say to determine what you want the system to really check for on each frame. Do you want to check a threshold? If you're needing to enumerate an array or loop in each update, determine what variable you want to decide when to use the loop. I.e. player count > 0 then start doing some stuff.

[brazen epoch]

most of it is checking network variables

[brazen epoch]

OnDeserialization seems to be best for me in this case. But I still have 1 script which syncs its position with a player that I don't particularly need to be synced every frame.

[full sparrow]

anyone know why i keep getting " Object reference not set to an instance of an object. "?

[fallen chasm]

I'm not sure I see why that's happening, but if this is an object reset, why not use get position and get rotation instead of localpos and eulerAngles?

also, is your starting object the same as the pieces object?

I might be misunderstanding, but here's one I made to move objects on interact:

[full sparrow]

at first i did a startPositions with data type vec3[] and i just tried having 1 size with some values i set, just to test
and i did a simple set pieces[0] position to startPositions[0] and i keep getting the same error of the object reference is null

let me try your solution

[fallen chasm]

paste that into your graph window^

save ya a little time

[full sparrow]

context: i have a bunch of chess pieces that im trying to reset its position and rotation when someone presses a button

[fallen chasm]

jetdog made a rather complex udon graph that resets all pickups in an array

it doesn't require placeholder objects as it saves the start pos/rot

https://github.com/jetdog8808/Jetdogs-Prefabs-Udon/blob/master/graphs/reset pickup.asset

[full sparrow]

i got it working thanks

[fallen chasm]

👍

jetdogs?

or did ya figure it out on yours?

---

hmm... So I've been struggling a bit with some logic to make pickups "sticky" when they enter certain colliders. I do have this working for single objects, but I'm trying to streamline my graph to have an array for multiple objects.

This is my working script^

but it has to be duplicated for every object I want to make sticky

and takes two public variables per object -- the vrc sync and a collider on a child object

Here's what I've been trying to work out^

but it always throws a null error

[full sparrow]

figured out on mine 😄

[fallen chasm]

glad to hear it 👍

some more images for clarity:

sticky is just a small box collider^

[brazen epoch]

I'm using occlusion culling and places I want to teleport the player seem to not be working possibly because the objects in question are culled. Is there a workaround such as a way to make sure specific objects are never culled

[mighty fjord]

@fallen chasm if you just want the first index with a certain value in an array then you can use ArrayUtility.IndexOf btw

And the nullref sounds like it might be due to you trying to get a component called "Box Collider"

[fallen chasm]

I've tried several different ways and a string is just the latest attempt 😛

[mighty fjord]

Could you try "BoxCollider" insead for the string?

[fallen chasm]

sure

Should VRC Object Sync (Script) get the same treatment?

[mighty fjord]

It's easier to do the type and find the VRCObjectSync type node instead

[fallen chasm]

couldn't get these working, so I switched to strings

I figure I need to get instance from somewhere

also... Get name or ToString?

[mighty fjord]

Oh that just returns the name of the GameObject a VRCObjectSync is on

[fallen chasm]

hmm... this script is not on the object with the sync

that'll be the object coming out of the array

[mighty fjord]

The type nodes arent found inside of their respective classes

If you search for "Type VRCObjectSync" it should pop up

[fallen chasm]

incompatible node -- perhaps there's a tostring I can bridge with

yep

XD

[mighty fjord]

Change the GetComponent nodes input from string to type again

[fallen chasm]

(that's a much better option)

alrighty, lemme do the same with the collider stuff and give it a test

no errors...

but also not working

lemme double check my script on the object

hmm... all good there

I should inject a debug script or two

[mighty fjord]

Oh Juice, get rid of the GetComponentInChildren node, I don't think you need that either

[fallen chasm]

the 'sticky' trigger is a child of the target object

though I suppose I could add two triggers and use the index to look for the second one

[mighty fjord]

I mean, you're doing two GetComponents either way there, and the first one doesn't have a type specified

[fallen chasm]

here's my updated graph^

no log output, so I suspect it never finds that child collider

[mighty fjord]

Or maybe it's failing at the object equality check?

[fallen chasm]

yes^

I'll test without the 'in children' node

nothin'

hmm...

[mossy crane]

Random noob question, why cant I assign any prefabs to these public references?

[grand temple]

because that's the program source. This doesn't "exist" anywhere, it needs to be added to a gameobject

[mossy crane]

Aha! thank you

[mossy crane]

Have bullets and stuff spawning out of gun with relative constant force on Z, so it always travels proper direction of facing, but whats the best way to mitigate the offset when running forward or strafing? Looks great moving slow or standing still but would like to make it feel more realistic without cranking the force speed. Although i guess thats how it would look if IRL bullets moved that slow...

[grand temple]

you could inherit the velocity of the gun

[mossy crane]

I was looking for transform force but found nothing, velocity makes sense lol

Hmm not finding any nodes with velocity

[grand temple]

you'll have to get the rigidbody, that's where velocity is stored

[mossy crane]

Brilliant, thank you again!

[mossy crane]

And final hurdle is how to set my instantiated game object clone to be the "instance" on rigidbody set velocity using the Vector 3 variable from the held gun. Nothing seems to be able to grab the rigidbody of the spawned clone

[grand temple]

when you instantiate, it gives you the resulting gameobject. You can then run getcomponent

[mossy crane]

Like this?

[grand temple]

I'd prefer to use the rigidbody type, not the string, just so you don't need to worry about getting the capitalization exactly right

[mossy crane]

Super cool. Thank you 😄

[mossy crane]

Ending my flow here causes my projectile to only instantiate once. Any ideas why? Using OnPickupUseDown. Set Position and Set Transform work fine if its the ending flow for spamming clicking.

[grand temple]

sounds like the behaviour is crashing, check your log

[mossy crane]

Seems to do with the Vector 3 of my guns rigidbody that im trying to have my instantiated object inherit

[grand temple]

the rigidbody is not valid

are you sure the instantiated object even has a rigidbody?

how are you making it move?

[mossy crane]

the gun portion

[grand temple]

somehow your getcomponent is not set up correctly

you're assuming that something exists on a specific object when it does not

[grand temple]

wait, are those two lines in the same flow path?

what's the whole thing

[mossy crane]

heh

the pickup use into instantiate into set pos and rot work perfect

adding the velocity makes it goof

[grand temple]

oh, it's crashing on getvelocity, not setvelocity

so it's the gun that does not have a rigidbody

because gun is defined as spawnloc

[mossy crane]

Omg your right lol. I was using empty child for my grip

tytyty

[grand temple]

also I should mention, syncing does not work on instantiated objects

[mossy crane]

oh...

Like in that sense

or always

[grand temple]

always

not supported

[mossy crane]

Is there a current work around

[grand temple]

but you probably don't want objectsync for bullets anyway, it would move too fast and have too much latency

you can just have everyone instantiate the bullets and set their velocity locally

[mossy crane]

Ah gotcha, that would be way better in the long run, im not looking for rapid update/accurate gun play, was just going to use a long collider to maximize chance to detect

[grand temple]

you could also try raycasts instead, would be more robust and accurate if you want your bullets to travel instantly

[mossy crane]

Didnt know we had access to raycasts! Is it pretty decent on client/server side latency or if you shoot at what you think is someone, its actually them like a second behind?

[grand temple]

if they're moving, they'll be a few feet ahead, yes

that's why if it's even remotely fast paced you'd probably want favor the shooter hit detection, which is a whole thing

[mossy crane]

Makes sense, so I am ok with really slow projectiles with longer than average hit boxes for my bullets. If Object sync doesn't work on instantiate, using the instantiate locally but with the person who pulled the trigger setting the loc/rot/velocity ect would work?

[grand temple]

not exactly. The owner would not be the only one setting the rotation, everybody would because everybody would be instantiating it locally on their own machines

[zenith solar]

At a quick glance, this should be toggling a set of 4 lights under an empty object called "CinemaLighting" which contain 12 different spotlights, correct? I feel like im spinning my wheel here since my toggles aren't working on objects that are parented by an empty.

[grand temple]

well that's going to toggle the parent not the objects. But that's mostly semantics, if I understand you correctly it would accomplish the same effect because when a parent is disabled it will also hide all the children

[zenith solar]

Yep thats the goal, basically hiding all the children of the parent empty

[grand temple]

oh, you need a collider on an object to use interact

[zenith solar]

If thats the fix i'll be very grateful and also bang my head on the wall, lol

[grand temple]

I would recommend putting this script on a regular cube. Because if you just add a collider alone, it would work but it would be invisible so it would be hard to find

[mossy crane]

So this monster is really just for local spawning? is there a good pointer for how to expand it so whoever presses the trigger on their gun will send the spawn event to everyone, but using the owners gun as a reference spawn point?

And to only spawn 1 bullet not 1 per client lol

[grand temple]

instantiate itself is not synced either, so you don't need to worry about 1 per client being a problem. In fact that's exactly what you want, because in order for everyone to see it they need to instantiate it on their own client

to do that you would simply disconnect OnPickupUseDown and replace that with a custom event. Then make OnPickupUseDown do sendcustomnetworkevent

[mossy crane]

Oooo I like the sound of that, ill poke around. Thank you :D. And is the multiple client launch when testing builds pretty solid for identifying how the world will function with players?

[grand temple]

yep

[mossy crane]

Would the object thats being held with the VRC_pickup script have velocity or is it considered static?

And would that held object being set to Kinematic negate using it as a velocity factor for a instantiation?

[grand temple]

if it's kinematic, it won't have velocity

also velocity doesn't get transferred through objectsync so only the owner would apply that

[mossy crane]

Gotcha, disable kinematic on pickup should work and re enable on drop to make it not get lost?

Interesting

[grand temple]

it would probably be better to just calculate the velocity by change in position since last frame instead of using rigidbody velocity

[mossy crane]

Could this be a big reason why it doesnt seem to have any effect on velocity?

[grand temple]

no, that's different

if pickups don't have velocity then it's probably just because it manipulates them in a way that does not apply velocity

there are many ways to move an object without using rigidbody velocity

[mossy crane]

Ah, well somehow its working lol, so ill run with that. Have clean bullet spawns

[brazen epoch]

I'm having some issues which weren't present before where I'm trying to teleport the local player to a provided Transform, but the player's camera gets teleported, but not the body

[grand temple]

that can happen if you try to teleport during a bad time in the frame, like from a network event or from OnDeserialization

easiest way to fix would be to send a delayed event so it happens on the next update

because teleporting on update is safe

[brazen epoch]

Awesome. Guess I never expected that when I switched from Update to OnDeserialization logic

Does send delayed work with Private methods

[grand temple]

no

[brazen epoch]

ok fair enough

[mossy crane]

it just works

Praise Udon

[grand temple]

even if the velocity bit is working on the owner I would not expect it to work on everybody else. But I guess that's not absolutely critical to the thing actually working

[mossy crane]

I tested 2 clients and it looked clean

[grand temple]

hm, ok

[mossy crane]

1 second or so delay between the non gun user for bullet coming out

but good velocity/direction

[grand temple]

if you want to reduce the latency you can send it through another object that has manual sync

[mossy crane]

oh?

[grand temple]

manual sync is faster than network events but limited in certain ways, like it can't be on the same object as continuous or objectsync. And you would have to sync with variables, not an event, so it's a little bit tricky to turn that into an event

[mossy crane]

these params?

[grand temple]

yeah

[mossy crane]

Interesting, how does that tie into a instantiation

[grand temple]

you would sync some variables like a vector3 and quaternion, then when people receive OnDeserialization they would interpret that as the position at which they are supposed to instantiate a bullet

also might as well sync the velocity at that point too

[mossy crane]

Hmmm, so right now its just the owner clicks and send the event and it spawns instant for them and the natural latency spawns it delayed for others, but that method is more monitored to call the event off of a smaller delay?

[grand temple]

network events are somewhere between 0.5 to 1 second latency. Manual sync is about 0.2 to 0.3

[mossy crane]

Oh dang that sounds perfect

never used desearialized update

Event OnDeserialization, what context does that apply in a instantiate onpickup event

[grand temple]

OnDeserialization is an event that happens when you receive synced data

[mossy crane]

Hmm cant picture where to trigger OnDeserialization, on a dummy game object with Manual sync?

[grand temple]

yes, you would put the manual sync on another behaviour

the behaviour on the pickup would just use OnPickupUseDown and sendcustomevent to the manual behaviour, then all the actual instantiation code would be on the manual

[tepid salmon]

i got a combat system but i got no idea how to add damage maybe sobody know how to do that ?

[mossy crane]

I only know the sdk 2.0 method for that lol

Saw some stuff online tho on the forums

[grand temple]

yeah, honestly combat system in SDK3 is kinda cursed

like apparently it technically works but.... good luck

[mossy crane]

Lol my maps from 2017 still seem to work for the system

Are those ever in danger?

Of like future proof stuff

[tepid salmon]

<-<

[grand temple]

I don't expect anything to change, it's just that it's always kinda been bad lol

[mossy crane]

And I have a whole new setup and no longer have access to my old files ect, no way to snag anything uploaded and break it open to update it with udon?

So this custom event fires everything, this new object ill put manual sync on.. where do I flow OnDeserialization?

Er how does Custom Event chain into Ondeserialization and then Instantiate

[grand temple]

OnPickupUseDown would fire sendcustomevent to the manual object.

Then a custom event on the manual object would setowner to localplayer, set the synced variables, and then do RequestSerialization. That is the typical flow for setting synced variables. All of that would be local to the owner.

When you do RequestSerialization, that will cause other people to get OnDeserialization. From there you would sendcustomevent to another event that does all the instantiation using the synced variables to set the position, rotation, and velocity

OnDeserialization does not happen for the owner though, so after you're done with requestserialization you would also sendcustomevent to do the instantiation

[mossy crane]

Is this for 1 shared gun or a proper implementation for multiple guns behaving uniquely

[grand temple]

you would have one manual object per gun

[mossy crane]

I see

And each gun sends it own custom event to the respective manual object?

[grand temple]

yeah

[mossy crane]

Awesome!

Oh and is the Udon behavior set to manual enough or does the manual object need a object sync thrown on too

[grand temple]

objectsync is not used to sync udonbehaviours

it's used to sync the position of a gameobject, so it's completely unrelated

[mossy crane]

Nice

[grand temple]

and also objectsync is not compatible with manual sync on the same object, that's the whole reason you have two separate objects in the first place

[grand temple]

no, not network event

[grand temple]

manual sync is replacing the network event

[mossy crane]

oh, so onpickupusedown on the continuious vrc pickup

should call a custom event

and how does the manual object recieve said event

[grand temple]

you would need to have a public udonbehaviour variable, then plug that into the "instance" slot of sendcustomevent

that's how you send events to other behaviours

[mossy crane]

On my pickup

[grand temple]

now drag the other behaviour into the slot in the inspector

and if that other behaviour has custom events, they will show up in that dropdown

[mossy crane]

seems to be locked?

my two behaviors

[grand temple]

doesn't look locked to me

just drag it in

like any other public variable

[mossy crane]

No dice D:

[grand temple]

what exactly is not working?

[mossy crane]

on the pickup where i made a public udonbehavior that slot should be my manualsync instead?

[grand temple]

yes, you are sending an event from one behaviour to the other. So you need a reference to it

[mossy crane]

Dragging ManualSync from my project folder to the SPawnBullet1 slot just has black cancel symbol

[grand temple]

no, not from the project folder

the gameobject with the other udonbehaviour

just like any other public variable where you have a component on a gameobject

[mossy crane]

Oh hey there it goes

Spaced that my bad lol, thank you

[lament pike]

Literally my first time trying to make a world with SDK3, followed everything in the tutorial as necessary but this showed up.. any tips?

[grand temple]

if you hit clear and they don't stay, it's fine

[mossy crane]

Also my game had errors galore but i closed and re opened the project after my first install and it stopped

[lament pike]

thank you, you spared me a full days worth of annoyance

[mossy crane]

What continues the event on the Manual object? Or do I just make a blank event named SpawnBullet1 on the manual and it automatically fires upon the pickup use down

[grand temple]

you would need to have an event on the manual object and that event will show up in the dropdown

make sure the event does something and then compile it

if the event doesn't have any flow it won't show up in the dropdown

[mossy crane]

So MyEvent should have a dropdown instead?

[grand temple]

no, MyEvent should show up in the dropdown of the continuous object

[mossy crane]

Ohh I see I was looking backwards

Is this how i'd set local owner for setting my variables?

[grand temple]

networking setowner

[mossy crane]

To set the Manual Sync to local player

[grand temple]

yeah, but I mean you can just leave the object blank because that will self-reference

[mossy crane]

200 IQ

"Then a custom event on the manual object would setowner to localplayer, set the synced variables, and then do RequestSerialization. That is the typical flow for setting synced variables. All of that would be local to the owner." Setting the synced variables would be the Velocity/Pos/Rotation of the gun sending the OnPickupUse custom event?

[grand temple]

yep

everything you need to do the instantiating

[mossy crane]

the rotation velocity and position, is that updated every frame?

or do i have to call it to do all those calcs

[grand temple]

if you're pulling it strait from the transform and the rigidbody then it will be up to date

[mossy crane]

And so Set Owner would flow into a RequestSerialization?

[grand temple]

yes, the typical flow for setting synced variables is

setowner
set variables
RequestSerialization

[mossy crane]

Hmm what goes in the instance

[grand temple]

of what?

[mossy crane]

RequestSerialization

or can i just flow into instantaite

[grand temple]

that's just whatever udonbehaviour you want to sync

you want to sync this udonbehaviour, so leave it blank and it will self reference

you don't want to flow directly into instantiate because you want all the players to do the instantiating. This part is only going to be local to the owner

you want the instantiating to be on a separate custom event so that you can sendcustomevent from both the owner setting variables and also everyone else receiving OnDeserialization

[mossy crane]

guessing not something like this lol

[grand temple]

no network events

[mossy crane]

Oh, how does everyone get hit with the custom instantiate?

[grand temple]

everyone else receives OnDeserialization

[mossy crane]

ok so this should be basically instant? the grabbing variables off of manual, then request then deserial into instntiate?

[grand temple]

yeah

[mossy crane]

Instantiate no longer working on pickupusedown

[grand temple]

that's because only non-owners receive OnDeserialization

also don't pull variables from other flows like that

[mossy crane]

Whats the proper way

[grand temple]

oh nvm, I just saw variable lines going off into the distance and assumed it was a different flow

if there's no flow involved there that's fine

you just need to have the instantiating happen behind a custom event

[mossy crane]

This is the only other thing on Manual Sync besides all that

[grand temple]

that's fine

well you're not setting any variables so it won't do anything

[mossy crane]

on my gun

so OnDeserialize into custom event

into instantaite?

[grand temple]

yes

and that same custom event should come from the part where you do RequestSerialization

so that both the owner and the non-owners run the instantiate stuff

[grand temple]

don't combine flow like that

use custom event and sendcustomevents

[mossy crane]

Hmm how do you not if they only have a output and I need OnDeserialize and a Custom event

[grand temple]

the bit on the right has a new custom event

the bits on the left call sendcustomevent

[mossy crane]

Hmm small elaborate please, Idk why I cant wrap head around it lol

I need a Custom event, a send custom event, and ONdeserialize all coming off request serial?

[grand temple]

no

OnDeserialize has sendcustomevent

MyEvent has sendcustomevent

and then you make a new custom event that does all the instantiating stuff

a custom event is just a receiver for sendcustomevent

sendcustomevent makes stuff happen

[grand temple]

so whether you're coming from ondeserialization or from myevent, you want the same thing (instantiate) to happen

[mossy crane]

So you have MyEvent(The PickupUsedown trigger) going into instantiate and OnDeserialize

how do I call my Setowner

er when

[grand temple]

you don't need two separate things for the owner

just something that receives a custom event and then sends another custom event is totally unnecessary

[mossy crane]

This thing should just run on its own without a event?

[grand temple]

no

that needs a custom event

but it only needs one

and that comes directly from the OnPickupUseDown of the other behaviour

[mossy crane]

Ok so pickupdown, into my event, into owner/request serial into send custom instantiate, then Ondeserialze into custom instantiate

[grand temple]

yes

[mossy crane]

Is this because of my udon?

Just started happening after this last compile

1 client gets stuck and wont load

[grand temple]

idk, are you getting any errors in the log?

I would not be surprised if instantiating directly from ondeserialization would break stuff actually, yeah

[tepid salmon]

ok i got it working now lol needet only like 10 houres tryng to get the script working xD and with a little help ofc.

[grand temple]

that doesn't matter

I mean you need to fix it on your udon but won't break players

I would not be surprised if instantiating would break players though

don't worry about that for now, you can look at it later

[mossy crane]

Wonder if i should disable the manual sync objects and enable on pickup?

per gun

[grand temple]

no

first thing to try is doing SendCustomEventDelayed from OnDeserialization

[mossy crane]

frames or seconds

1 second delay event fixed the loading problem, bullet only fires once per person tho

[grand temple]

you can just do 0 second delay

and if there's ever anything that happens once then never again, it's probably because your script crashed

and you've already seen in your logs, that's what is happening

[mossy crane]

Sweet ill chase those down

Hmm i dont see log errors

Oh nvm I was looking at the other clients logs

Any ideas on this 1? The bullets spawn for the player holding the gun but not other clients

[grand temple]

that means you're trying to do something to an object that does not exist

[mossy crane]

Its wierd I can drop the gun and pick up with different clients and it works great, just sending the instantiate to everyone broke

Ty big time for the help, was intimidated learning Udon after the trigger system, but its making more sense and I can see huge possibilities. Ima sleep now

I guess last note is both logs say i am the same superscope owner, would that be causing conflict or does the test build know the difference between clients

[lament pike]

probably a dumb question but I saved a mini world in progress and when i entered back i cannot see it, it still shows all of the building processes eg cubes but doesn't actually show me the structure. Am i exceptionally dumb or is there an error?

[grand temple]

Udon does not support automatic persistence, so if the world had some kind of save system where you copied some text or something, then you probably need to put that text into another box somewhere to load it

[lament pike]

ah, il try to find something along those lines then, thank you

[candid thorn]

how do i sit or lay down in vr chat keyboard

[lament pike]

sit is c

lay down is z i believe

[unborn hornet]

c = crouch, z = prone yes

[grim goblet]

Does anyone know why udon player loop not working for long youtube videos? It works for short videos

[covert dragon]

Whenever this event is called, it deactivates the root object the UdonBehaviour is in. The array I'm using doesn't have that object in it at all. Why is this happening?

The array in question

The behaviour exists in "UdonMenu"

This is me testing to optimize my udon menu a bit in another world, and make the graph not so laggy to interact with (The graph for my actual menu is a disaster lol)

Wait I think I know what's happening

I believe I'm misunderstanding what Int32.Inequality does

I'm dumb, to get "does not equal", I can just swap what I have between true and false in the branch

Welp guess that could help anyone who may have this issue at some point 👀

[spark token]

whats udon?

[covert dragon]

What??

It suddenly stopped working now that I added all the other buttons, and I'm not sure why. I changed literally nothing aside from adding events for all the other buttons

[indigo finch]

there is nothing wrong with the code you showed

[indigo finch]

mind spreading them out a bit. it's hard to tell what goes in what...

[covert dragon]

This was working fine until I added the other custom events for the other buttons

Which are almost identical to this, aside from the submenu buttons

Which

This is all I added to the submenu ones, the Boolean.ConditionalOr statements

My only idea is creating a variable for the index and using that instead of directly pulling from the int index

I gtg for now, I gotta drive my sister to work. I'll be back in like an hour lol

It's just one button

This one button toggles off all other menus/submenus

[indigo finch]

I'm a little confused as to what your trying to achieve tbh. seems like your toggling off the first object, though it has no way to toggle back on. the rest seems to be toggling on and off depending on whether or not they are active, which is completely different from the first object. Also means that if one or more gets toggled by a different script, it would mess up their activeness. You would normally have a bool to manage that for all objects
As for you mentioning that the first one in the list is toggling off the udonbehaviour's object, would suggest that either the first or last gameobject hasn't been set correctly in the inspector.

[covert dragon]

But toggles on or off (depending on whether it's active or not) the menu for the button you're pressing

[indigo finch]

so why not just have two gameobject lists? one that toggles on, and another that is the inverse of that

so when objects list 1 is toggled on, object list 2 toggles off. then when object list 1 is toggled off, object list 2 gets toggled back on

something like this script:

(though without the networking stuff)

The main reason being that you then know the state of the button. when I click a menu button, it's already determined what should be toggled on together, so why check the state? If I'm just check if its active state is on, then I could potentially be toggling on something that was meant to be off instead. Even if you want it to be based on active state, it should really just be the first object, and everything else is referenced to that (flip the bool for those meant off). It also means the code auto fixes itself should you toggled something you shouldn't have

as for your code, this set active node is permanently set to off, which is likely not what you want (unless its a one time warning or something). I'm assuming what would be better, is if you had a bool that says what state you want your toggle to be, and this node to get an unary negated version of that bool

[covert dragon]

The 1 active thing is just 1 menu

The inactive stuff is literally every other menu and submenu

For reference, this is the way I did it without an array

Yep, laggy as fuck lmao

[covert dragon]

Permanently set to off is what I want, I want everything that ISN'T that specific menu to be turned off

[covert dragon]

Basically

The event is called when you click the button

The reason I have it set to a toggle for the "true" result is because when you click the button again, I want it to disable the menu. Basically it toggles the menu on and off when you click on it. If you click on the button, it should disable every other menu no matter what

This is the case for every menu and submenu

Idk how that's so hard to understand 🤔

[wind atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/john-c-reilly-john-reilly-stare-glasses-gif-6156202

[covert dragon]

Ikr LMAOO

That's JUST the 4 main menus, that doesn't include any submenu nonsense

🙃

[wind atlas]

Yeah, I can't really try to understand that, not sure if I even want to since it might take too long. What's the general idea here? I get that it's a menu, so you want the user to switch between multiple pages? Or is this something else?

[covert dragon]

Ignore the giant graph

That's my old one

It works but it's super laggy whenever I interact with the graph due to how much shit is in there

I'm recreating the graph using arrays and whatnot and I'm having a weird issue where it works as long as I only have one custom event, but when I have multiple for the different buttons and menus, it no longer works.

[indigo finch]

From what I can tell, it should be something like this is what your after, though I feel like I may have missed what exactly the 'issue' was with your other script

[covert dragon]

So you're saying I should create a new array for every button? Lmao

The objects in the array that are enabled/disabled depend on what button is pressed

[indigo finch]

What I'm saying is that I'm likely missing what it is your confused about, or trying to optimise

[covert dragon]

I'm confused about why it doesn't work

I click it and it spams my debug log with "0" being the int index

Basically, either the for loop isn't stepping, or the int index is getting stuck at 0

It works fine when I don't have the other custom events

Each one is for a different button

When I click the button, it runs the event to match the button. It goes through the for loop. For each one it goes through that does equal the variable that lines up with the menu I'm wanting to toggle, it will toggle that specific entry. For each one it goes through that does NOT equal the variable that lines up with the menu I'm wanting toggle, it will disable that specific entry.

But again, it's acting as if the index is just returning 0 over and over which makes no sense

[indigo finch]

as a sanity check; try putting the int directly into a debug.log node, instead of trying to do the whole int to string stuff

Also check how many times it's posting

[covert dragon]

It's posting 12 times

I already did check

That's exactly how many it's supposed to

[indigo finch]

well, it is a sanity check after all..

[covert dragon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/657394772603830360/927611261410230302/unknown.png

I posted this earlier

Yeah this is working but it doesn't make sense that it isn't activating the menu

[indigo finch]

like i said, try doing it without the whole int to string stuff. it's obviously getting the int as a different value, otherwise it wouldn't say false

[indigo finch]

then you need to see why. I'm honestly still a little confused as to how exactly your intending on making these things active. usually, i want to set active the menu i want, and deactive all other menus. Instead your setting your target menu off, and then switching state of the other menus...

[covert dragon]

I'm setting my target menu to toggle based on whether it's active or not, the other one is the ones I want to turn off

Look at it carefully

int.Equals is being used basically as Not equals

[indigo finch]

so you want a int.notEquals node instead of an equals node

[covert dragon]

That doesn't exist

Lol

That's why I simply reversed my Branch

It has the same effect

Think about it

If it DOES equal 0 (the one I want to toggle), then GameObject.SetActive(GameObject.Get activeSelf(Indexed Array Entry), Boolean.UnaryNegation)

It does the same thing as not equals

If the response in the for loop is 0, it will toggle menu 0 and will specifically disable everything else

At least it's supposed to

However it is not

I still think an integer variable can solve this

[indigo finch]

Sorry, finally I actually see what your doing... you could have just used an unary negation node for readability sake. anyways, my bad

[covert dragon]

I could have yeah but why add yet another node

The entire purpose of me doing this is to use as few nodes as possible

[indigo finch]

readability matters when it comes to bug fixing

[covert dragon]

Due to Udon graphs being super laggy

[indigo finch]

the lag comes from compiling. different nodes do different amounts. at least that's my understanding

[covert dragon]

Yes it compiles anytime you touch anything which makes sense but is super annoying

I would much rather be able to turn off auto-compile and compile manually whenever I'm ready to run it

[indigo finch]

to reduce the nodes, i would definetly make an int that gets changed by the event, and then call a universal event that changes the toggles. would save heaps on 'nodes' too

but it seems like you have that sorted too

[covert dragon]

Yeah that would actually. Not a bad idea

I've thought about doing this but implementing it is kinda annoying tbh

[indigo finch]

couldn't agree more. should look if there's a canny for it...

[covert dragon]

The fact a compile button even exists makes me think they meant for it to be something you could turn off but they forgot to implement it or something lmaooo

[indigo finch]

I think it was back when it was a little buggy. they've also reduced how often it complies, like if you make something public but add no nodes, so it has it's use. I'm just glad it no longer complies when you simply move a node

[covert dragon]

Oh god I remember when it did that

I should show you an older graph I have. It literally crashes if I compile it ever so I can't edit it anymore 🙃

[indigo finch]

it should be pretty easy. just 'set int' with the custom event, and then plug that value into the manual value your setting for your equals nodes

[indigo finch]

ouch

[covert dragon]

It used to crash my Unity if I even opened it. It still freezes if I so much as interact with the object that has the behaviour on it

Udon is so optimized and awesome :)))

[indigo finch]

eh, it works mostly. seems like you might need to make a fresh project if your struggling with this though..

[covert dragon]

I'm not gonna make a new project, I'm gonna break the graph into many pieces

So basically remake a bunch of different parts of the graph into separate ones

And make calls between them if needed

Also, optimize my graph since I refused to use arrays and stuff since I didn't know how to use them before 🤣

[indigo finch]

I mean, that's just good programing in general. all I was talking about is if your getting crashing and the likes, I'd be concerned that there's something wrong with that project. then again, coding it now or later doesn't really change anything

[covert dragon]

Yeah I might remake the project eventually but it works fine as long as I don't touch that specific graph

In fact, I've interacted with other graphs in the project just fine

The second I even touch the object with the laggy graph though, it's game over

[indigo finch]

we've just been bug-fixing one that looks like it should be fine though...

[covert dragon]

I'm trying to open the graph rn and it's fully frozen 🙃

[indigo finch]

...

[covert dragon]

It's in a different project lol

It's my testing project

[indigo finch]

right... o boy

[covert dragon]

Used to experiment with different methods of doing things

My old menu is even part of a completely different project too :))) I have too many projects

Send help lmao

Yeah so I'd show you the graph but I don't think it's gonna open. My Unity is fully frozen

[unborn hornet]

?whatisudon

[hidden marten]

VRChat Udon is a programming language built by the VRChat Development Team for use in VRChat worlds! It enables complex behaviors and logic in VRChat worlds. Read more about Udon in our documentation: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon

[indigo finch]

yea, no worries. there isn't really anything that looks wrong with your code technically, other than perhaps separating out the int to another variable

[acoustic delta]

Can World Portals be toggled on/off via Udon?

[ashen ibex]

yeah just use an event to Set Active a root gameobject with the portal(s)

[acoustic delta]

Thanks!

[mossy crane]

Any thoughts on second client when launching test build getting disconnected on loading? 1 client always connects fine. It was all working fine yesterday

[thorny silo]

is there a way to make it impossible for clients to noclip in my world

[dreamy gorge]

Anyone know a way to use VRCUrl objects in udon?

[high mural]

I know how to program in C# in Unity, but I'm brand new to Udon. I'm trying to get into Udonsharp, but I'm not sure why I can't use Instantiate. It says the method is not exposed to Udon. is there a way to resolve this or is there an alternative method?

[blissful shore]

Does anyone know how to implement: SetVoiceDiatanceNear

I'm using a collider as a trigger to make it so that who ever is in that collider can be heard by every one in the room/near radius. It's so that people can perform.

[severe tree]

I'm assuming you mean make what you currently have work, in which case you need to plug the player that enters the trigger into the Instance part of both of those nodes.

However this will not work for everyone because of the isLocal and Branch nodes. It'll only make those changes for the player who enters the trigger, meaning the difference can only be heard from that player. If you want everyone to hear that player louder, those nodes need to be taken out.

[blissful shore]

Thank you so much . I'll try it now

[blissful shore]

@severe tree I changed it to this and it still isn't working

[severe tree]

what does the new graph look like and how are you testing it?

[brazen epoch]

The VRCPlayerApi CombatSystem is marked as non functional. Is there a standard way to handle player killing?

[blissful shore]

I've been going into vrchat

[severe tree]

Ok, you're almost there. You need to link the Arrows together in the chain of execution and it should work. The Last node at the bottom isn't for voice (I don't think) and so isn't needed for your situation.

[blissful shore]

Ok cool thabks again let me try !

[fervent bramble]

So im messing with Lura's Switch prefab, and i want to set up a toggle collider button, but they of course for some reason didnt include a script for that, how would i set it up?

[indigo finch]

Has it got a script for toggling a gameobject?

[fervent bramble]

It does for game objects, and only game objects, there are non set up for mesh colliders

[indigo finch]

Duplicate the script. Delete the gameobject variable and replace it with a collider variable. Then where it had a gameobject. Setactive node, replace that with a collider. Enable node instead

Also replace the gameobject.active In Hierarchy (or similar) with a collider.get enabled

[fervent bramble]

Ok so I replaced the main one from GameObject to Collider, but im having trouble understanding what else you mean

[indigo finch]

udon# huh... let me just load it into a project....

[fervent bramble]

Yeah thats the pain. Basically with Lura's Switch, it uses sharp and it swaps out a model on the switch while swapping out the game objects, and i just dont know how to make it swap out colliders as well, because im using the switch in other places, and a friend helped write a udon graph to swap colliders, but i also gotta figure out how to swap out the button, and i still dont know enough about graph yet

[indigo finch]

yea... this would have been a big pain to explain. Here's (hopefully) a collider variant of the luras switch toggle

[indigo finch]

I've added arrows where I've changed something

[fervent bramble]

Ok sweet, ill try it out!

[indigo finch]

if your getting unity errors, make sure your class name matches your file name

[fervent bramble]

I changed the class name to LurasSwitchCollider_test as per the file name, but it gave me this

[indigo finch]

I believe that is the exact error I was mentioning... rename it to something without a spacebar, and change the class name to that

[blissful shore]

@severe tree it works!!! But it stays on once the player leaves the collider.

[indigo finch]

Those nodes set the new value. You would want to have another event 'onplayertriggerexit' that changes all the nodes back to their original state

[fervent bramble]

Ok i think fixed it now, did it just not like the _? Im testing it in cyan emu now

[indigo finch]

underscore is technically not spacebar, so yea. their's a reason they avoid it in code files

[fervent bramble]

Ok so it works! But ive noticed the button mesh swap doesnt work anymore with switching the on look and the off look

[blissful shore]

@indigo finch how do I turn them off ? On playertriggerexit and then false everything ?

And do I put that In The same graph ?

[indigo finch]

literally what you did to change it, just with the new values being vrchat's default voice settings. and yea, it can be put in the same graph

[blissful shore]

Ooo I got it thank you!!

[indigo finch]

do you mind sending the original script. i think they toggled the switch object as part of the button

[indigo finch]

^^

[fervent bramble]

The switch object's are apart of the target object list in the original version of the button

This is one for the video player

[indigo finch]

yup, they're toggling the button along with everything else...

[fervent bramble]

And thats probably really annoying aint it

[blissful shore]

@indigo finch where do I find the default values

[indigo finch]

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

[indigo finch]

give me a sec... shouldn't be too bad, just need to not miss something.

[fervent bramble]

Sorry about all this, i didnt expect it to be such a pain, you'd think they'd make it a prefab

[blissful shore]

@severe tree @indigo finch thank you both very much . Just about to test it !! Much appreciated!

[indigo finch]

Nah, don't sweet it. It really helps to round out my programing doing stuff different stuff than I would normally do

[fervent bramble]

Oop

[indigo finch]

so this should be the new luras collider toggle button script. I've literally added back in the gameobject toggling, but that is purely for the buttons. so it now can do both ^^

[indigo finch]

I had to fix two mistakes when making, so be sure to test it in case there was a third...

[indigo finch]

Glad I could help ^^
btw, windows + shift + s is a great way to take screenshots of part of your screen

[fervent bramble]

I think i made a mistake at somepoint

[indigo finch]

two codes sharing the same name/ class name

[fervent bramble]

Ah

Crap yeah ill fix that

[indigo finch]

np ^^

[fervent bramble]

Yeah i made a duplicate of the old one, didnt realize that script was being affected

PERFECT! It works absolutely perfectly!

Thank you so much. Is it alright if i add you to the credits of the map? Because this is honestly a big help and im probably gonna use this script for future maps

And what name would you like to be credited under?

Ok sweet! Thank you again

All good!

[brazen epoch]

Is there a way to disable a pickup (not the gameobject itself) while retaining physics

Ah. nvm. I see the Pickupable property now

[blissful shore]

Lol I read thiw wrong

[vague kernel]

Totally new to Udon:

Is there a way to only fetch an image from a URL when needed? For example, when said image is un-hidden in the world?

[blissful shore]

for some reason the effect stays on even after the player leaves the collider any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

[indigo finch]

define 'leaves'. is it simply walk in, walk out? or is it only sometimes?

[brazen epoch]

Does setting the owner of a pickup set it's child objects owner

[grand temple]

no

at least in SDK3, all objects have completely separate owners

in SDK2, objects inherited ownership from their parent

[brazen epoch]

I see. Okay then. Thanks

[lilac hatch]

Yop, quick question ; Can I ; As a world creator, blacklist someone from my world ? ( aka remove everything except a black box with a text explaining that this person is not welcome in this world / lobby ? )

Seem like I've over done it atm and just slapped some screenfx and the said person voice on loop and got myself a week ban for targeted harassment even tho the said person keep bringing crashers / woke me up on stream in front of 2k people like it's something to do in this game, but that's kinda w/e.
I'm just trying to get to the middle ground of it so I was asking myself if a simple box would be better than doing the funny with their screens instead.

[grand temple]

You shouldn't use udon as a moderation tool for several reasons. It's not a foolproof solution, it prevents the person from going to worlds even in private instances, and VRChat provides more foolproof moderation tools anyway.

The person who uploaded the world and the person who created the instance have the capability of kicking a user from the instance. Once they've done that, the user is prevented from even joining the instance in the first place. You should be using that instead

[lilac hatch]

That's the thing ; I don't want the said person to be even allowed in the world, even in private instances.

[grand temple]

that is not your choice to make

if you have a problem with the user that extends so far, you should be contacting VRChat moderation

[lilac hatch]

Meh, I guess my vision differs from VRC.

[cold raft]

but the orignal anwer is yes, vrcplayer api .tostring gives the username and you can do comparisations and run code based on that

[lilac hatch]

I know that. I was more asking in a ToS ways.

[cold raft]

i do think it violates ToS

[lilac hatch]

Meh, i'll contact them just in case

I'm still in "vacation" for the next week, so it's all g

    public void play(){
        // make vrcurl object 
        VRCUrl vrcUrl = new VRCUrl(url); // Error: System.Exception: Method is not exposed to Udon: Void .ctor(String), Udon signature: VRCSDKBaseVRCUrl.__ctor__SystemString__VRCSDKBaseVRCUrl

    }

Hello, I have a method in my USharp script, but I ran into an issue that might not be fixable. How can I create objects if Udon doesnt recognize them?

[fiery yoke]

VRCUrl's cannot be constructed at runtime in Udon. That is a design choice. Its to prevent people from extracting data from within VRChat using URLs.
Only the VRCUrlInputField can do that with direct User Input.

[dreamy gorge]

Oh. I’m just trying to find a way to override the Usharp video player and play specific videos with buttons

Would U know a way to do this with udon? I couldn’t exactly find a way without using VRCUrl

[fiery yoke]

You can setup predefined URLs in the Editor yes. Just make a public VRCUrl variable/field and then paste the url into the field in the inspector.

[dreamy gorge]

Ok thanks I’ll try that later today

[primal ocean]

How would I go about messing with the camera using different effects? Like simulating fading(to black or white), brightness of the screen, blurry screen effects, etc. (asking here and in world dev since idk if this is udon related)

[dapper lion]

post processing or an overlay shader animation

[primal ocean]

Is there a specific way to make it local or global? I am guessing making the trigger for such a thing happening local or global or is it something else?

[dapper lion]

youd network it via customnetworkevents usually, but theres other ways ig

[primal ocean]

Alright, thank you

[broken bear]

Looked through the node information and didn’t find an answer: are we able to get information about a world in udon such as author name, world description, world icon, etc?

[wanton cliff]

has anyone had a bug where every integer constant and public variable seems to set itself to 0 whenever you try and press play in unity

[unborn hornet]

Nope. See if there's a canny.

it literally crashed unity because i have variables that are not supposed to be able to be 0, im not sure whether im just not doing something right but when i try and set the public variables to a constant literal value and then hit play in unity it just goes back to 0

ok so apparently it was a problem with defining Vector2Int constants, not integers

still a bug it seems

also the crash was caused by having a udonbehaviour on an object that iterates said object (thus iterating itself indefinitely instead of a finite number of times like it was supposed to) and not because the variable was 0

Anyone else ever get the namespace error Error CS0234? I've been trying this for a few days now

[fading prism]

error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Udon' does not exist in the namespace 'VRC' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Did you install the VRC SDK3 for worlds properly?

[fading prism]

I did. SDK3 works fine, I installed that Microsoft script reader

[wind atlas]

What script reader? Either way, if it's missing that namespace, it very likely means something messed up when you setup the sdk. Try following https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-the-sdk very closely

[fading prism]

Microsoft Visual Studio. I followed the Udon install video

[wind atlas]

As I said, try installing the SDK again. It's step two in the URL I linked.

Okay, so if I want to use this for avatars, I still install the Worlds version?

[wind atlas]

Anyone knows why this might not work in game (works in unity editor):

Those properties are not exposed in the shader, but still defined as variables. My guess is that it should still work. That's what the original creator did in C# as well. But apparently it doesn't work in game.

Tips on how to debug this are appreciated as well, since I'm kinda lost where to look.

[wind atlas]

If you only care about avatars then you don't need Udon or Visual Studio.

[wind atlas]

There is a choose your SDK section you probably want to read. Essentially there are two packages, one for worlds and one for avatars.
