Does the initial spawn count as a respawn? It doesn't seem to have any effect

[bleak basalt]

Hello!
I dunno if this is the right place, but I recently finished my world in the old version of SDK and with unity 2018 it works, its uploaded all good - today it told me to update and I downloaded the new recommended Unity and it arrived with UDON . I've never been interested in the programming so I'm not familiar with Udon. I managed to set everything up but it won't launch my world to test. It sends me back to my "home" ? I tried following a udon tutorial without any luck and did my usual troubleshooting - no luck .
Does anyone have time to run me through some other methods of troubleshooting?

• I also tried looking the problem up on the web without any luck

[manic yarrow]

Did you back up the original?

[tired wedge]

@fiery yoke Thank you very much for replying me, and sorry to be late. JetDog seems to have so many prefabs, but which one can be used for that purpose and how can I do that with it?

[bleak basalt]

I still have the file, yes but had to delete the unity version and re install it

[indigo finch]

Haven't personally tested it. You can always add another onStart node if not. Anything to avoid using a onplayertriggerstay node

[manic yarrow]

The teleport to home thing happens when you don't have any spawns set

[bleak basalt]

I've made a 3D cube, flattened it, added the VRCWorld component separately (not "in" the cube as in the 2018 version), added an empty object and added it to the "element 0"

[manic yarrow]

Do I need the IsLocal then?

[misty berry]

has anybody had any problems with teleporting 30+ players at once, and some not teleporting? (with udon sharp)

[bleak basalt]

Tried adding the spawn the usual way - didn't do the job either

[scarlet lake]

anyone have pointers for doing udon/udon animations?
i'm super new and i'm a bit confused on it x)

[indigo finch]

on start node on plays locally, so that one doesn't

Hi guys, I have 2 scripts i need help with.

the first script does when a player interacts it sets playerCount up by 1,
the problem im having is that i want the second script to use playerCount and subtract it by one
but playerCount is in the public override void interact() i cant find a way to get playerCount value and subtract it
any help??

script 1:

script 2:

[primal ocean]

Is jumping not automatically setup with sdk 3?

[blissful shore]

ok SO I have an audio player Prefab but when I drop it in the scene it looses all the variables. How do I make it get a specific ingame object, and or audio source instead of having to drag variables? Please help 🙂 Thank you !

[mild kite]

Does the video player prefab not support autoplay? I checked the box and also tried adding a real simple event (on start, play) and nothing happens. I'm thinking I may need to redefine the starting URL that I have in Video URL for the AVPro player

or at least reference that string somehow

[rich nebula]

Heyyo, I’m looking for someone who can point me in the right direction or give me some information about animating NPCs for worlds using Udon, next world I’m making is narrative based and I only have experience with sliding door animations
Any help is greatly appreciated 😄

[mild kite]

To play a video, you need to provide a URL in the Video URL field when you set up your Video Player in the editor, or you can paste a URL into the VRCUrlInputField provided in the prefabs.
I've tried both of these to no avail

[blissful shore]

its an audio player . the audio is actually uploaded into the world

[mild kite]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean

The video player works as expected if I hop into my world and put a URL in, I just wanted it to autoplay a given URL when launching the new instance

[blissful shore]

ohhhhh lol I thought you were responding to what I posted lol my bad

[mild kite]

oh lmao whoops

[blissful shore]

I ve made a video player that only plays one url

lemme see if I can find it

[mild kite]

I was following along with a guide but stopped when I realized it didn't support networking -_-

[blissful shore]

oh yea the one I made doesnt either

[mild kite]

hecc

[blissful shore]

do you by chance know how to get specific game objects in the Udon Graph?

[mild kite]

I'm gonna be honest this is my first ever world and this video player is my first Udon project lol

... so no

[blissful shore]

this one is set to public variables . It goes to non by default when I turn them into prefabs

oh congrats on your 1st world

[mild kite]

Does your prefab include the world objects that the variables are linked to?

Thank ya :D

[blissful shore]

Ive made like 7 and I still don't really know what I'm doing 😛

[mild kite]

I'm actually shocked at how well its coming out lol
I've just gotta put on these finishing touches (mirrors, video player, chairs that aren't broken) and she'll be good to go 😎

[blissful shore]

do you know how to use prefabs so you dont have to sit there and make a ton of gairs?

Chairs mirror systems etc

[mild kite]

I think so, yeah. Also turns out my chairs are working fine I am just dumb lol

[hybrid fossil]

Is Udon at present can be used for avatars too, or is it applicable only to VRC worlds?

[blissful shore]

after 6 worlds I just discovered this time saving thing

[mild kite]

It is world only AFAIK

[blissful shore]

hmmmmmm

thats a good question

Fionna and CyanLaser and the VRCBILLIARD club I owe them all props! and a ton of thanks !

[hybrid fossil]

I see. I do wanted to do something using Udon for an avatar, but it also requires the Avatar Dynamics.

Anyways I guess for the meantime I could start practicing using Udon for VRC world applications

[blissful shore]

have you guys checked out the VRCprefabs website?

[hybrid fossil]

Is the website safe?

[indigo finch]

yup. it's run by cyan laser and someothers

[blissful shore]

Cyan Laser for school president!

him Fionna Vowgan

I'm going to make something thanking them.

[hybrid fossil]

I'll check it out soon

[blissful shore]

Do you know how to set a specific game object in the udon graph? For instance I want to set a specific audio source . But when I drag a prefab into the scene the audio source window goes back to none by default.

[indigo finch]

sorry, that's a little too vague for me to give an answer to. mind giving some context?

[blissful shore]

instead of variables I want these two nodes to be the game objects one is the Music File the other is the audio source. Im putting multiple music players in this world and im trying to see if I dont have to drag an drop every time.

[indigo finch]

How many music players are you after that the inconvenience of dragging and droping is significant enough that two variables on a script is a problem?
The script needs to know what ones to play. They can't be hard coded into the script, as they refer to things in files or the scene.
That being said however, there are ways to have some gameobjects attached, but honestly, you are already having to drag and drop to set said gameobjects, you might as well do it into the code and save the hassle. If you are really insistant on it, you do have things like transform.getchild or transfrom.getparent that can get either the child or parent of the scripts' gameobject. and from there you can do transform.getcomponent and whatnot.

[blissful shore]

the odd thing is that the songs are fine but the audio player seems to go default when I drag them from the Prefabs forlder

13 songs 11 players

Lots of dragging and dropping

[indigo finch]

probably because the audioSource isn't part of the prefab. You can set up one of the prefabs in the scene, and then duplicate tyhe prefab inside the hierarchy, and they will be set up right

[blissful shore]

let me try that

Odd its remembers the song but not the audio source

this is also troublesome for me because I also have a travel panel with 11 places to go

Looks like lots of copying and dragging until I can figure out how to hardwire prefabs

I just dragged it into the udon graph from the hierarchy

Lets see if this works

[indigo finch]

yea... this part literally does nothing ...

[blissful shore]

funny it works perfectly

now playa is the default music player

[indigo finch]

it wont do anything. does nothing, break nothing

[blissful shore]

It works perfectly in cyanEmu

[mild kite]

this literally just saved my life tysm

[blissful shore]

CRAP I Spoke to soon

it breaks it 😦

lets see if this works

[indigo finch]

This won't work. you cant plug a gameobject into an audiosource node
At this point I don't exactly know where your going wrong... perhaps this might help: https://youtu.be/4ENVC7cCiUU

[primal ocean]

Is there a reason everything is shaking in my world?
My character and my hud are extremely shaky and jittery when I am in my world. It happens to everyone in it

[elder peak]

too far away from origin, floating point accuracy fails there

[primal ocean]

Thank you for letting me know

[empty mantle]

Eh can someone help me with out with this udon tether prefab as when i use it in vr and move it around my whole entire fps drops big big time when it moves into frame like idk if its the prefab or something up with the pickup

[zealous cedar]

I have a UI button that I want to call a void function from my script with an integer value attached but I dont see my function in the list

under UdonBehavior (Clicker) it shows a long list of Udon functions but mine isnt in there

another question, is it possible to have multiple interactable game objects and each one changes the same variable? For context, Im trying to make a simple clicker game as my intro to Udon but I hear you cant use static variables with udon. How can I share variables through different scripts? Or make it so that I have multiple gameobjects that I can interact with that do different things to the same variable?

[zealous cedar]

So I think I have the right think selected in the screenshot, but then how do I pass integer values to it if the input box is occupied with the name of the function?

This is my simple test buying function, and different buttons should pass different values to the buy function in order for it to know which button was pressed, but I dont know how to pass values to the function using SendCustomEvent (bottom photo doesnt work)

[elder peak]

you cannot send arguments via this sadly

[zealous cedar]

hmm okay, do I just need a separate function for each "buy" button

[elder peak]

if you are dead set on this, that may be one way, yea

also, prefix public functions with _: _Buy
otherwise they can be invoked via the network by remote players

[zealous cedar]

okay

[sour tapir]

How do i generate random numbers in u# ? I tried Random.Range() and it doesn't work

[mighty fjord]

What do you mean when you say that it doesn't work?

[sour tapir]

it is generating the same number over and over

[mighty fjord]

That sounds strange, are you sure you're not also setting the random state to the same value right before calling it?

[sour tapir]

pretty sure, i do something like this: num = arr[Random.Range(0, arr.Length)];

[mighty fjord]

And num is always the same?

[sour tapir]

sadly

[mighty fjord]

Are you sure that arr[] doesn't just consist iof the same number?

[sour tapir]

i think im disabled... it was working but i was displaying some other variable

[wheat rover]

Is there a way to force a player off of their station?

Oh, I see, it's part of the station rather than the player.

[bleak basalt]

Still can't use the build and test without it sending me back to my home world. - does anything look odd?

[tired orbit]

This looks fine to me
Do you have VRC closed when you click Build & Test?

[frigid magnet]

Hello Everyone, I have a question. Is it possible to call a script from udon graph or use trigonometric functions in udon graph?

[bleak basalt]

Yes

[tired orbit]

What SDK version are you on?

You can see it in the VRChat SDK window Settings tab

[junior owl]

can't use mods for vrchat

[oak chasm]

how do I do toggles like this?

[pastel yew]

Is anyone good with UI stuff?

So, for UIs to work in VRC, you need to add the "VRC Ui Shape" script, right... and the documentation says that it will automatically add a box collider.

I have a UI menu that will spawn from a button click. The problem being, is if the menu spawns inside a player, the box collider pushes them back out of the menu.

"The VRC_UIShape component will automatically add a box collider to the GameObject. If you want to walk through your menu, you should add your own collider and mark it as "IsTrigger"."

... but the problem with THAT is then the menu is no longer interactable.

So is there really no way of making UIs that are both interactable AND let you walk through them? Or am I doing this wrong?

[indigo finch]

Change the canvus' layer to walk through

[bleak basalt]

I know this isn't udon but any quick fixes?

[pastel yew]

Oh my days, that works.
Really that easy... why is that not mentioned in the docs? X[

You my friend, are the best. ¦3

[pastel yew]

Got enough space on your drive? 🤔

[bleak basalt]

Yes, even moved it to another driver with more free space

[ornate elk]

Can I get any good links to setting up guns for some FPS type maps.... Thanks

[fleet depot]

are you trying to make a VRChat world?

[errant spire]

I have returned once again since it appears this technique does not work, it should have gathered 2 but it returns no transforms

[pastel yew]

Run it as admin? It may be a permissions thing. Like, it can't write to where you're trying to create it.

[bleak basalt]

Yes

[pastel yew]

If it works as admin then you can narrow it down to permissions.

[bleak basalt]

I'll try thank you!

Ahhh still the same issue

[pastel yew]

I can't think what else would cause such a generic error, unless it just wasn't able to write to the location for some reason. 🤔

[pastel yew]

Can you open existing projects? If so, possibly not a Hub problem.
Maybe the Unity install is borked? Try a different Unity version if you have any others installed already.
It should be 2019 for VRChat stuff anyway.

[errant spire]

Here is the "final" logic for the system i was making, it has 3 cycles which is Animators, AudioSource and Lights. it detects them fine (on the bottom the spy part logs the lenghts of the arrays which are accurate but when i make it hit a cycle i get hit with a Cannot retrieve heap variable of type 'Component[]' as type 'AudioSource[]'. as long as i know it follows the instructions i got provided with, any chance someone knows what i do wrong?

i just noticed the quality isnt that great so ill make a close pic of the gathering part and the cycles

gathering the components

Cycles

[fleet depot]

looks like you're running the wrong editor version for VRChat. Current version as far as i'm aware is 2019.4.31f1

[errant spire]

Also do know that if I Manually assign the respective components to Thier array's they work fine

It doesn't work using animations

Via code seemed easier since now it just needs to preform a single cycle, all the animator has to do is spin the hinge

[indigo finch]

This is... rather hard to read. generally you want to avoid noodles going underneath nodes, as it makes it harder to read
also, why are you changing the lights colour via code when you already have an animation? would be easier and cleaner to do the animator.
also, in general when working with an animator, you generally don't want to use 'play'. instead changing the a paramater on the animator is usually better. could have one mode for off, one mode for yellow lights, and one for red lights. then you can just change the int 0,1 or 2 depending on the setting

[errant spire]

The way it currently works is that for example the startup alarm has to go off it will first set the desired soundclip, then which animation, then what colour the lights should be, it also changed the colour and emission of the material. The cycle basically should basically "apply" the settings

[indigo finch]

As for this, though it's a little hard to see, the 'get components from children' node is grabbing all the children's transform and making a transfrom[], and trying to stuff that into a audioSource[], which doesn't work. I know the output looks green, but it can be literally any component type, thus udon is letting you plug it in despite it not working at all

[errant spire]

Bud, it does work tho but there is a different issue

Wait

I just misread that

Now I'm confused, as you can see in the gathering place it grabs the components, they all grab the correct ones according to the lengths I get from them

I had 2 alarms, I received 2 audiosources, 2 animators and 4 lights

[indigo finch]

wait... now it seems like i miss read the code...

[errant spire]

No worries

The cycle and gathering groups should be rather easy to read

The input place is hell tho

[indigo finch]

can I have a look at the hierarchy that this is being used on?

[errant spire]

I currently am in bed but let's say I made a gameobject called alarms which also houses the Udon behaviour. I inside that gameobject are the individual alarms

Basically it's grouped into alarms

[indigo finch]

If you have broken down the problem to be purely the creation of the arrays, then as far as I can tell, the code should work. I would have to look at how the code is being used in the world, to see if I can spot something there

[errant spire]

Can you elaborate further on seeing the code being used in the world?

[indigo finch]

nothing in particular, just stuff like it instead being a child of a child, or empty audiosources or the likes that are also being added. those kinda mistakes that you already know, but a second pair of eyes is sometimes needed to see

[errant spire]

I could screenshare it tomorrow after work if you would like

[indigo finch]

eh, pics work better. lets other people jump in if I miss something or say something dumb

[errant spire]

Ah alrighty

I'll attempt to remember tomorrow

I think it's just the array being built is where it goes wrong since if I make it myself it works, welp tomorrow I'll share more

[muted skiff]

Hello everyone, its the first time im using udon and i was following a tutorial to make a toggle button for a mirror

the problem is that when i test the world i cant interact with the button

[indigo finch]

do you have a collider on your button? Mind sharing a screenshot of the button's inspector (windows key + shift + s to screenshot only part of a screen)

[muted skiff]

i got the normal box collider

do i need an special one?

[indigo finch]

nope. first thing first, make sure to drag and drop your mirror gameobject into the script. currently it will toggle this button object instead of the mirror
As for getting it to be interactable... what layer is it on (slightly above what you showed)?

[muted skiff]

Layer is default

and i dragged the mirror on the udon graph

it created this

[muted skiff]

this should be interactive right?

[indigo finch]

that is just a gameobject variable, that you named mirror. you need to tell it what that gameobject is in the inspector

[muted skiff]

no its not, it was created when i dropped the mirror object on the udon graph

[indigo finch]

this is saying it is the button. it defaults to itself if you don't tell it an object

[muted skiff]

let me check

[indigo finch]

that shouldn't stop it from being interactable though...

[muted skiff]

the layer thing

should it be on default or in what

[indigo finch]

default should be fine. tick 'istrigger' on the box collider? I do it on all buttons anyways, as it stops people from colliding with it

[muted skiff]

it wasnt

ima tick it and try again

nope, still not working

[indigo finch]

so, to clarify, does it show anything when you hover over it? or does it it just do nothing when clicked?

[muted skiff]

it doesnt show the hover message saying to use it

neither the usual blue lines that show you can interact with it

[indigo finch]

it's as if you don't have an interact script on it at all... mind hitting this button and trying again?

[muted skiff]

my actual script

[muted skiff]

everything but variable deleted

[indigo finch]

is the console giving any error messages?

[muted skiff]

let me check

mmm nope

it

it works

i dont even know what i did

[indigo finch]

welp, there we go

[muted skiff]

but now it dissapears the button

its probably what you said above

but I AM dropping the mirror

[indigo finch]

because you have it set to the button

[muted skiff]

how do i change it tho

[indigo finch]

grab the mirror in the hierarchy, and drag and drop it into this slot in the inspector

[muted skiff]

ohh

i thouht you meant drop it in udon

[indigo finch]

yea... I just tested that. Didn't know you could add gameobject variables like that... that's actually pretty cool; if not confusing for those new to udon

[muted skiff]

working great now!

Thanx you so much

[indigo finch]

sweet! ^^

[muted skiff]

one last question... the only way to give a terrain a collision is setting the collision boxes one by one? or is there an easier way

for example, how could i add a precise collision to this asteroid

[indigo finch]

you want to create a mesh collider. also, if doesn't need to move, you will want to set the gameobject to be static, otherwise it will optimism the collider

[muted skiff]

thanx you, i will look into it right now

[muted skiff]

is it possible to make it collide with the player but not with other things?

[waxen gulch]

How long should I boil my Udon for the perfect texture? I keep boiling for too long trying to get the broth flavor to soak up

[tired orbit]

Hey, I'm trying to call a function when someone leaves and there's only one player left in the room.

public override void OnPlayerLeft(VRCPlayerApi player)
{
    if (VRCPlayerApi.GetPlayerCount() == 1)
    {
        // Do something
    }
}

It seems that in CyanEmu, GetPlayerCount() will include the player that left. So if there is only one person in the room, it will return 2.
Is this also how GetPlayerCount() works in actual VRC? This seems incorrect, and I don't see it mentioned in the docs
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-players

EDIT: For anyone wondering, this is how VRC works. The player count will include the player that just left

[vast locust]

Bump

[ebon musk]

So can Stations detect is a person is crouching while in the station and adjust accordingly with a custom animation. And is it possible to make a variable animation? My goal is to make a turret that animates the players Avatar while they control it.

[dense wolf]

Is it possible to publish an Udon world with a different account than you originally published with? My friend is a streamer and I made his world, but we can only invite people to it right now through my account cause I'm not quite User yet to submit for labs.

If we could publish under his vrchat account, then at least we could have him able to send invites himself.

[indigo finch]

Given it's a friend, you could always send them the files to upload it themselves. You would likely need to hit the detach button on the scene descriptor, but it should be fine. I'm pretty sure vrchat doesn't check for duplicate worlds

[dense wolf]

I tried to generate a new blueprint id, but it just gave him the same one we detached.

Been a huge headache, but we'll try again tonight.

says he doesn't own the file.

[indigo finch]

Seems like its some anti theft stuff. try deleting the object with the scene descriptor on it. then get them to remake it. shouldn't be too hard to talk them through adding it back

[dense wolf]

tried that too. It somehow cloned the blueprint ID there too.

[spring quiver]

what types of URL's can i use for the video player OTHER than youtube?

like in this area

[tall vault]

You can use a direct url to an x264/aac encoded mp4 file

[scarlet lake]

When fix poorly designed udon networking

[dense wolf]

Got it to work finally. I have no idea why it hit me with a cloned ID the first time I tried it. Didn't the second time. Thanks a lot for confirming the method works.

[vestal mist]

hey everyone im trying to find a script so it shows Vips and stuff on top of the People Heads

so i can add that to this club im working on

[scarlet lake]

What is the rating for vrchat

Just saying

Bc my little brothers want to play it

?

Ok

Ok

Ok

Bec i was just saying

[coarse parrot]

I've found a bug that make SetProgramVariable function to change variable type to change to Object when checking with GetProgramVariableType function.
I was testing by:

• create a public string variable - any value,
• Debug.Log a result of GetProgramVariableType of the variable - this results in System.String
• use SetProgramVariable to set variable value to a new string value
• Debug.Log a result of GetProgramVariableType of the variable immedietely after setting a new value - this time results in System.Object
  I suspected that SetProgramVariable doesn't account for variable type, and tries to set heap type for that variable to Object regardless of what variable type it originally was.
  For context, I was working with an udon function to check if another udon is a correct behavior by checking public variable type with GetProgramVariableType. But later, I updated the targeting udon variable with SetProgramVariable, this causes variable type checking no longer working since it changed variable type to something else.
  This happens in both UdonSharp and UdonGraph. I also suspect that it also happens in UdonAssambly, as UdonSharp and Graph generate in to the same assambly.
  For workaround, I can still change variable checking to check if the variable exists in targeting udon to make it works again without checking the actual type.

Should I open a canny post or does the related post already exist?

SDK version is 2021.11.08.14.28

[errant spire]

i am back once again

[alpine fractal]

How i can get trusted rank?

[indigo finch]

not an udon question, but basically play the game and upload things, to prove to Vrchat's algorithm that you can be trusted. Usually around 700hours you'll get it, but I got it quite a bit sooner after some stuff I uploaded popped off.
might seem far off, but you do get user and known ranks much sooner than this

[lusty rose]

are there any pet udon prefabs where you have cats running around the world?

or other animals

[errant spire]

alright so from yesterday i think the issue is is that the components are not getting "extracted" in the cycle

[tough finch]

Anyone know how to setup a camera such that it renders on the main desktop view?
I thought setting the Target Eye to Main Display would be enough but it doesn't seem to work.

[tough finch]

nvm ended up using a screenspace shader!

[mighty fjord]

There's a canny for it already
https://vrchat.canny.io/vrchat-udon-closed-alpha-bugs/p/setprogramvariable-clobbers-data-types

[coarse parrot]

Thank you!

[topaz jetty]

is there a way to see if an instance is public or not?

[dapper lion]

you can set a ui canvas to do screenspace and put an image on that canvas with the cameras feed

[obtuse shell]

I've asked in the past ~about a year ago, but curious if there has been any new developments.
Any desire or plans to allow arguments with custom network events? Allowing clients to send data to owner would open up a lot of possibilities.

[errant spire]

still here with the component issue-

[obtuse shell]

Response last time I asked, does this still hold true?

[floral dove]

now you can use OnVariableChange / U# Properties to respond to synced parameter changes, which solves many of the same use cases as Network Events with Parameters

[obtuse shell]

Ohecc really. I will look into this. Thanks so much, been out of the udon loop for a while

[shy cipher]

detach it

[shy cipher]

I wouldn't have <13 play this game without parental supervision. There's a lot of weird $^&* people on here.

[dense wolf]

We got it done yesterday.

Thanks though!

[shy cipher]

kk soz just saw it now

[tough finch]

got it! thanks! I thought it was possible to do without having a dedicated rendertexture for it but that turned out not to be the case

[brazen epoch]

If I cache, for instance Networking.LocalPlayer in a local variable, will properties such as isMaster be updated as the old Master leaves the instance

[obtuse shell]

Looks like I have to be owner for this to work, maybe I'm reading the docs wrong :P. I was hoping to go from client -> owner, I have some weird owner relationships I am trying to maintain.

Anyways I have an idea how to rewrite this, with access to these new features thanksies. (Especially because SetOwner not being immediate is fixed now)

[fallen chasm]

I've been struggling a bit with a graph meant to change the ambient light with trigger volumes...

It seems to function, but the numbers don't make sense.

I've got three triggers set up with this script:

The first trigger's NewAmbientIntensity is set to 0, second is 5 and third is 10.

In playback, the first trigger returns 1, second returns 2.6666 and the last returns 4.33333 -- which seem to be the value between the default and new....

I can't figure out what math is causing the value to stop halfway -- Don't suppose anyone here can see where I'm going wrong?

[mighty fjord]

Are you supposed to be using isTransitioning somewhere?

[fallen chasm]

at one point, I had that after the update, but I figured checking the Approximately bool did the same thing

maybe that's why it stops halfway :/

I'm not actually sure if it's halfway, I tried -1.5, -.75 and 3 and the outputs were .5, .75, and 2.

I suppose if it's exponential with the lerp, then these make a little more sense. In any case, @mighty fjord you've got me thinkin' that the Approximately node might be the culprit. I'm theorizing that it's increasing or decreasing only until the two values cross -- so it may not end up making it to the exact number in the "New" variable.

[mighty fjord]

Yeah, I'd swap that out to a more proper timer

[fallen chasm]

this stuff makes me feel dumb XD ... like... logically... that should be a smooth count down from the Duration value, right?

the behavior still appears to be exponential

then again... it might never hit 0

hek .. no luck using subtraction, or a combination of division and a minus 1 at the end to zero it out...

perhaps I should just ask... udon pros, how might someone noodle up a simple timer with a public 'duration' variable?

(specifically to be used in a lerp node)

[tired orbit]

Hello, is anyone able to get the analogue trigger pull value (0 - 1) on an Oculus CV1?

I found this spreadsheet the other day
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_iF0NjJniTnQn-knCjb5nLh6rlLfW_QKM19wtSW_S9w/edit#gid=1150012376

And the following methods

Input.GetAxisRaw("Oculus_CrossPlatform_PrimaryIndexTrigger")   // Left
Input.GetAxisRaw("Oculus_CrossPlatform_SecondaryIndexTrigger") // Right

However, this does not work with Oculus CV1, because the trigger pull is not bound in SteamVR.
It seems that it isn't possible to bind the trigger pull to the "Trigger Value" because the item is simply not listed.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?

I found this thread on the topic, but it doesn't have a solution
https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/bring-back-taking-analog-values-for-oculus-controller-triggers-in-the-default-se

On the Index controllers the item "Left Trigger Value" is listed to be mapped to the Pull action (screenshot below)

This list option is not available for the Oculus CV1, even though it does have analog triggers and you can see this in the Steam VR controller tester. Does anyone know why this is?

[mossy anvil]

is it possible to change material properties on udon behavior

[blissful shore]

whats the best way to find out what is lagging a world?

this world is lagging so bad: 1st it takes for ever to load . It goes to a load screen for like 10 mins then it turns black for like 3 mins then it goes to the loading screen again then it finally loads up and once im in its between 11 and 13 fps 😦 what could cause this ?

[tired orbit]

It could be any number of things
Check out the optimization guide here if you haven't already
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/submitting-a-world-to-be-made-public
Aside from that, you can run the world in the editor using CyanEmu and check the Unity profiler to get a general idea of what might be going on.

There are also some links pinned in the #world-optimization channel

[blissful shore]

thanks !

[ebon musk]

I'm having an issue with ObjectPool where if anyone aside from the instance owner uses the interact, the item is spawned from the pool, but disappears seconds later. Does anyone know what's causing this?

[grand temple]

only the owner of the pool can spawn objects

the default owner of an object is the master

before trying to spawn objects, simply take ownership of it

[ebon musk]

I have it set to set owner as local player on interaction before running the TryToSpawn

Before I did that nothing happened at all if someone else interacted.

[grand temple]

is the instance owner taking it back somehow?

[ebon musk]

That's what it seems like, but I'm not sure why it would be doing that

[ebon musk]

Ok upon further investigation its just setting the position of the gun to the origin of the pool if anyone but the instance owner spawns it. That's a bit strange

Especially since it spawns in the correct place initially

Do I have to do a networked event to set the position? Like my only thought is that is sets the position for the person who spawns it then reverts to the intial position on update because that's where it should be for the instance owner

[wheat rover]

Question; is whether or not an object is enabled synced?

[pallid roost]

No, you need to sync that yourself

[pallid roost]

The location of an object is set by the owner of the object, so if you set its owner to the person who spawned it you shouldnt have any issues

[wide sable]

with the playertag system is there anyway to count how many players have a specific tag attached to them

[celest bone]

Could someone tell me how i can make a bool trigger be global? is there anything i need to add,

[dawn forge]

My guess is have a common Udon behavior hold your variables where it could also be your datasource to sync on the network instead of per object syncing.

[ebon musk]

I'm not sure, for now I just put the origin of the item at the desired spawnpoint.

[errant spire]

still here with the component issue-

[nocturne spade]

question anyone know how to fix the black screen of death on Oculus?

[errant spire]

idk but i dont think that this is the right channel for that

[gritty veldt]

I thought this would be a simple script, I just want to add text to an input field at a custom event, but I can't seem to get any events working at all, not even OnMouseDown is calling the append text Udon Graph. Does anyone know what I could be missing?

[errant spire]

i found the issue, in the example that was shown to me they were set to type, i changed them to T[] and now it works

[quasi nymph]

Quick question with the udon method VRCPlayerAPI.Immobilize that locks forwards and strafing movement is there also a way to lock rotation as well?

[ebon musk]

So does anyone have a simple way to make a pickup return to an objectpool after being unheld for 10 seconds. I tried making a true false using isheld triggered by the drop event, with false leading to a sendcustomeventdelayseconds node. However, nothing happens after 10 seconds

[cinder storm]

I know this has probably been asked a lot, but is there any way to get a synced random player? For example the master constructs an array and chooses a random player from it, then syncs that value to all players (I know playerapi can't be synced yet). Currently trying to put this into a minigame where players know when a specific player is looking at them, and this player can be different every round.

[unkempt seal]

what version of uity is needed? i cant seem to download 2019 4 3 f1, it doesnt work on either hub or website, it says

Unknown under Editor version

[foggy meadow]

i get this weird error after i install udon sharp anyone know how to fix it?

[foggy meadow]

if anyone knows why im getting this CSharp Error itd be hugely appreciated.

[wheat rover]

Is there any way to get the players view position?

Or otherwise attach some sort of UI to them without some custom shader jank

[indigo finch]

playerapi. get tracking data --> tracking data. head

[foggy phoenix]

who wanna play vr chat

[tired tartan]

Hi guys, maybe the wrong place to ask this, but has someone in vrc already figured out a way to make powerpoint work? I know that I can record the slides as video and start/stop playing in a world with video screens, but there has to be a better option than that right? I am considering teaching in vrc for a few sessions this fall

[ebon musk]

Does deactivating a gameobject in an ObjPool return it to the pool?

[tired orbit]

A video is probably your best bet. Certainly the easiest option.

You could also livestream a powerpoint window using OBS, then load that stream into a video player in VRC.
The problem with streams is the delay. Probably around ~10 sec or so using Twitch. Not sure about YouTube.
Using a paid service like VRCDN you could get much better latency. I've gotten mine down to < 1 sec on their service.

Other than that, you could set up a custom VRC world and build a powerpoint system with UDON, but then the slides would need to be setup in Unity.
It would be a lot more work, and requires some knowledge of Unity

[scarlet lake]

so i have problem my world its not letting pc join but quest can join just fine

and both sides are update

[vestal mist]

anyone know where to get Vip system for your worlds

[iron brook]

how do i give the cat milk

?

[pallid roost]

How exactly do synced objects sync between udon and quest?
I added a new object to a group of synced objects, and they all seem to be off for quest now. They say they're picking up one thing but its something else

[grand temple]

you need to make sure that both quest and pc have the same objects or else they will assign the wrong network ID's

[pallid roost]

so its not specifically object name based or hierarchy order or anything?

i guess that would mean i cant remove or add anything to either version without updating the other one because it would throw everything out

[grand temple]

it's hierarchy order, yes

you can remove components and disable objects but don't delete objects

[pallid roost]

Hmmmm ok, ty.

[scarlet lake]

I'm trying to create a teleporter but the eventName part won't allow me to enter a name

[indigo finch]

your custom event probably isn't connected to anything, so as far as the compiler is concerned, it doesn't exist

[scarlet lake]

what do I connect it to

[indigo finch]

oh, your trying to call an event on another script? in that case, go create node, string, const string. then plug that into the string slot

[scarlet lake]

thanks

[indigo finch]

^^

[normal dew]

you can also try saving each slide as an image, then design a system which allows you to swap images on a ugui element based on timing

[sharp echo]

how do i set urls in udonsharp?

[tired orbit]

What are you trying to do?

[ebon musk]

Has anyone had an issue with the attachtome script where the item respawns only for the person who itially took it? Like if I drop an item after picking it up, it resets for me after the timer, but is still in the same place for everyone else.

[sharp echo]

what i'm trying to do is just play a url from a list

[tired orbit]

I've only used the UdonVideoplayer prefab, and it has a playlist option
Sorry, wrong link. I meant this one. USharpVideo
https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo
When you click on the prefab in the scene there should be a playlist you can add urls into

[sharp echo]

i guess i'll just look through it to see how it works

[twilit ridge]

Is there a way in VR Chat for per user lighting? e.g. One person sees the scene lit as total darkness & another can see in twilight?

[wind atlas]

Everything is local by default already. So if you put a button that change the lighting, and someone presses it, then it will only change for that person.

[twilit ridge]

oh really...dang didn't know that!

Is there a way to toggle access to private rooms?

[wind atlas]

Yes, there plenty of worlds that do that. But as we established earlier, everything is local, so you have to sync the state of the room yourself.

[snow arrow]

I'm trying to find the prefab that lets you set up audio zones for avatar voice. Anybody got the link to that one?

[olive dome]

Hi, is there a way to make it work on any of the video players on Quest2?
Everything is perfect on PC, but I can't seem to get it to work on Quest2. 😦
I have tried direct link access, WEBM and and MP4.
I've searched a lot of tutorials on the net too. I couldn't find anything that could help.
I hope someone here knows the solution. 😉

[snow arrow]

Video players do work on quest but not for anything that uses the youtube-dl library. Direct http streaming should work with mp4s. You'll need to allow untrusted urls in game on the menu system if you have not already done so

[olive dome]

Yeeeee, that was the solution.
... really works. Thanks for your help.

[ebon musk]

How would one make it so a gameobject is toggled locally instead of globally using Udon?

[pallid roost]

By default all your toggles will be local, you have to call events networked for them to be global

[fiery yoke]

Not nessecarily. Players entering a trigger for example is a common issue that "appears" to be global. But its because the cause is synced, not the effect.

[pallid roost]

True, some event source can in effect be global. But at least if your going off like a classic button or UI event they'll be local.

[limpid umbra]

Anyone in here know how to make drivable cars? I'm working on Talladega Superspeedway for my community to have Sunday races in

[pallid roost]

There's a few different prefabs you could try, this is the first i could find but i know there's a carts one out there somewhere too
https://github.com/Sacchan-VRC/SaccFlightAndVehicles

[limpid umbra]

Doesn't this have the ability to run out of fuel and explode if you hit something?

If so, then this is perfect

[pallid roost]

I havent tested it myself but i do see mention of fuel in the files so i believe so.

[limpid umbra]

Yay

Yeah, I want the cars to run out of fuel and have the ability to be refueled by holding a gas tank up to it (so the drivers are forced to pit) and a health bar for the cars, so every little bump takes a little off the health or a big wreck will take most if not all of the health so cars can be eliminated from the race

For more immersion

[mossy crane]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had a trick or method for rendering a world space canvas over anything in the map. For instance I have a hitmarker prefab with a damage UItext element that appears on a collider when you hit it, but the model will block the text

[sullen jacinth]

hey how do i customize the TV name and have it work on the VideoPlayerSwap
i only want 3 screens available
(this is on the asset ProTv)

[ebon musk]

That's the issue I'm having and the cause. I just ended up checking if it was the localplayer

[ebon musk]

I'm having an issue with the Attach to me package by bd. I am trying to utilize the respawn function, but it is only respawning for the person who dropped it. The gun remains in the same position for everyone else. Does anyone know a way to fix this via Udon graph, because I have no idea how to code UdonSharp atm

[vague osprey]

How would I go about making an elevator that works?

[ebon musk]

Either via an animation or math functions to change the height slowly over time, I'd think

[vague osprey]

I did make an animation back before Udon was released when I was trying to make it work through SDK2 triggers..

[supple root]

Anybody knows how to convert an int to a string?

[restive island]

how can I fix it?

[wind atlas]

If you only care about text and you are using TMPro, then you can switch to their overlay shader.

[wind atlas]

You are already doing it in your screenshot.

[supple root]

doesnt work tho

[wind atlas]

What doesn't work? You are using the nodes to convert an int to a string, that should work. What happens after that, I'm not sure about.

Do you get an error?

[supple root]

I got an error in CyanEmu that the sring goes to void

[wind atlas]

Can you post the full error?

[wind atlas]

It says a "SetActive" node is failing somewhere.

[visual elm]

i'm trying to figure out how to make the animation play once while stepping through a trigger in a fixed animation movements:

i traced the red lines exactly how the particle animation moves, but when it reaches the end, it rewinds and replays the animation, i don't want that, i wanted to play the animation once, is there a way to do it?

[scarlet lake]

does anyone have a recommendation for a website or youtube channel that teaches how to script and use udon for an absolute beginner

honestly have no idea where to start

[wind atlas]

@visual elm Click on the animation and turn off looping.

[visual elm]

ah, there we go, thanks, i forgot to look there

[mossy crane]

Thank you that worked! Any ideas how to make my text always look crisp? I keep getting these weird lines on the top of the text

[main saffron]

Hello, I have a question. He won't let me play the vr chat anymore. I think this. Someone knows what I can do

[worthy beacon]

is there a way to make VRC_ObjSync to stop updating position data so i can have something else start updating its position?

i tried setting its enable to false, but seems it cant move the object at that point.

[main saffron]

It doesn't work for me now I enter and open the map but it puts that on the screen

[main saffron]

Someone can tell me how to remove that message so I can play

[indigo finch]

Not an udon question. Try asking in user-support

[plucky hedge]

Is there a way to recreate the sdk wall climb/jump?

[civic birch]

Trying to make an easter egg toggle with a public bool variable that changes the bool value as well as the switch's color

[civic birch]

Need some help changing the material color

Nvm just needed to use a different set color command

[craggy harbor]

I know there's probably tons of different way to do it, but what's the cleanest way to detect a player "tag" action?

[brazen epoch]

Does Udon support Object tags

[elder peak]

if you mean the tags like untagged, no, they are not uploaded

[craggy harbor]

I mean the tag like touching another player with their hand.

One other question, I noticed the vrcsdk combat system is deprecated now and no longer available. Is there any other way we can access to a "ragdoll" effect when a player is being killed?

Also very curious why this system is removed, though I built my own combat system with the help of UdonSharp, it seems a very convenience and fun tool to use lol

[somber heath]

Importing the World SDK into an empty project produced these errors after saying things needed to be updated, complaining about VRC.Udon.Wrapper.dll and VRC.Udon.Graph, is this expected?

Can i increase the timeout wait while "updating assemblies"?

[wind atlas]

It's deprecated, but still usable in Udon. VRCPlayerAPI has some methods related to it, they all start with "Combat". I think all you need is set hp to 0 for the ragdoll to trigger.

[prisma prism]

does udon or usharp have any sort of unity job system/multithreading support?

[rapid dragon]

hi, is enabling/disabling VRCStation.disableStationExit at runtime possible? sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

[dapper lion]

no

[scarlet lake]

Does anyone know how to make areas appear or disappear in udon. I’ve noticed some worlds have whole sections of areas that unless you trigger a event it doesn’t show up.
This I figure could help optimize my world and hide areas I don’t want shown unless people figure out how to trigger the event.

[brazen epoch]

A better way of optimizing your world is to set up occlusion culling or reducing your camera far plane if your render distance doesn't need to be that large. By default, It's 1000 which is insane.

As for specifically answering your question; You'd have to have an Array of GameObjects in an udon behavior and then toggle the state of the GameObjects when a condition is met such as OnPlayerTriggerEnter or such

[edgy badger]

Greetings, after uploading my word privately while i am in the game i am not allowed to join in. I only have a black screen and it teleports back into the default word. How can i fix?

Obviously while testing it trought the SDK i dont get any problems there

[mild ledge]

Maybe this is a better place to ask!
I'm trying to change ownership when a player presses a button. I don't know what im doing wrong at the request! Can anyone tell my how and what I'm doing wrong? :)

[wind atlas]

Usually, you'd want to use Networking.SetOwner for that kind of thing.

OnOwnershipRequest is a callback that you can use to react to changes, it's not made to be called.

[wind atlas]

I keep seeing people with that problem, but honestly, I don't think I've ever had that one myself. Can you make sure you have the right Unity version, current VRC SDK version etc?

[mild ledge]

Ah ok, thank you so much! So the "GameObject" in Networking.SetOwner is the Udonbehaviour?

[edgy badger]

Yes, ill check again but i am really sure

im tryna doing it from 0

[brazen epoch]

Currently having an issue where OnTriggerEnter isn't firing for Pickups.
The Trigger Collider is on a game object that's moving on the MirrorReflection layer while the Pickup is supposed to collide with the moving Trigger collider.
The Pickup is on layer Pickup and the collider on it is not set to isTrigger like the docs say and does have a rigid body and a vrc_pickup

[edgy badger]

is there a website where i can find models and textures like glass?

[wind atlas]

Yeah, I'd try to upload an empty scene as well for testing, just in case.

[wind atlas]

Yep, you can just type in gameObject to get the object the script is attached to right now.

[edgy badger]

Thats a good idea

[mild ledge]

Ok, thank you! :)

[wind atlas]

This is probably why.

[brazen epoch]

Yeah. That's what I was going to assume

Does collide with walkthrough though. Might just place the player col on that

[craggy harbor]

I will give it a try and it would be a great help if it works, thanks

[brazen epoch]

When I use LayerMask.NameToLayer on one of my custom layers on Start, the value seems to be -1. Do I have to hard code my layer index or is there a proper way to check?

[grand temple]

layer names are not uploaded with worlds, so you can't use that for custom layers

[brazen epoch]

Okay. Makes sense. I guess I'll hardcode the index

[craggy harbor]

It didn't seem working.

[wind atlas]

Maybe you have to call the setup method, or give the player some hp. Check out the "FaxFallDamage" prefab on vrcprefabs.com, I used that one for a world and the ragdolls worked.

[craggy harbor]

I will take a look.

[marsh topaz]

I'm wanting to pick up an object and, when used, a random word from a list will appear on a wall. I'm very new and have tried online resources but I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. My current issue is that I can't get the randomly selected word to toggle on when I use the object. I'm not even sure if a word is even being selected... Any advice would be appreciated

[craggy harbor]

I think it's a local event that has to be triggered across all clients, and it works now lol.

Thanks for sharing it.

This adds so much fun of killing other players.

[pastel yew]

Anyone know if there's a node for switching a number from positive to negative?

I'm trying to get the absolute difference between two numbers. 🤔

[night viper]

You could multiply the number by -1

[pastel yew]

Ahhh. And is there something I can do to check if it IS negative before doing that? Like use a branch to check somehow?

[night viper]

Oh, So you want it to always be positive?

You can use the "Mathf Abs" to find the absolute value or a number, will always be positive

[pastel yew]

Ah ha~ 😮

There we go. I think that looks right... Scaling a thing based on the distance between your hands. ¦D

Hah! It works great. Thanks @night viper ~ ¦D

[distant shell]

Hey guys, I'm attempting to have lights turn on when it turns 1800. Is there anything that may be prohibiting my script from functioning properly?

[still harness]

hey, i have a question. I just got vr on steam and i want to link my oculus account to it, does anyone know how to do that?

[odd glade]

The set enabled is not linked to anything, you need to assign a public light variable as the "instance" targeted

[distant shell]

thx

[civic birch]

Trying to call a variable from another Udon script, but it only wants to call from itself. Anyone know how to fix it?

[indigo finch]

You need to say what udon behaviour you want it to get it from. Currently, if you look at the variable in the inspector, you will see that it says "self". You will want to change that to be your target udon behaviour

[civic birch]

I'm trying, but it refuses to let me

I just made the target UdonBehavior public so hopefully that's all I was missing

It was, and apparently you need to drag and drop the UdonBehavior component of the other object's script into the graph

[foggy meadow]

how do I access the udon graph if I don't see it on the bar at the top of the screen.

[fast berry]

if you click on the script in assets then a button that says open udon graph will show up in the inspector

almost at the top

[foggy meadow]

kinda like this?

[fast berry]

mine looks like this

the open udon graph button is at the top

ive never seen what you have

[foggy meadow]

Ok i got it to work. Thank you so much. sorry i just wasnt use to udon since it updated a while back

[fast berry]

yeah np! im glad i could help

good luck with your project!

[mild ledge]

Hey, is it just me and a stupid mistake I made or is the UdonSyncPlayer (AVPro) ignoring audio effects like low-pass and reverb? Because everything works with UdonSyncPlayer (Unity), but I can't watch livestreams on there. Thats why I tried AVPro, but the effects dont work there for me.

[fast berry]

is the onvarchange event broken? at least for booleans? ive tried to use it a few times on a graph that i know works with other events but this one just never seems to trigger even when the variable definitely changes

[clever flare]

Could it be a local event?

maybe that's a stupid question but I'd like to help

[fast berry]

im sorry ive never heard the term local event before, could you explain what you mean?

also dw its not a stupid question, i appreciate that youre trying to help, whether you can or not

[clever flare]

As in, an event that only fires for the local player

e.g you and a friend are in a lobby and the event only fires for the user "clicking" and object, that way you may want to send a custom network event to all so that everyone knows that your friend clicked the object

otherwise the event will only run for the user clicking, I'm not sure if every single event is fired for everyone in the lobby

[fast berry]

ohh i see what youre saying

[clever flare]

See what I mean is that if the boolean isn't synced, or changed for everyone. would it be fired?

Though you are the master of the instance so that shouldn't be an issue...

[fast berry]

i dont think thats my issue, im not working on networking stuff rn. I made a simple boat vehicle and at one point i was trying to have a bolean called isMoving which would be true when the boat is moving, and false when it's stopped. The plan was to change it on interaction with a button on the boat and then use the onvarchanged event to cause the boat to start moving

when i tried that it didnt work

im working on rebuilding that graph rn so soon i can send a picture of what im working with

[clever flare]

why not just use the oninteract?

oninteract -> toggle boolean

and then just run the code under it

[grand temple]

make sure sendchange is on

[fast berry]

oh

thats my problem

[clever flare]

ah shit and that too, damn I knew I forgot somehing

[fast berry]

thanks for letting me know

i tried to look around on the documentation for what that box meant but i couldnt find any info so i kinda forgot it existed

is there anywhere i can read up on exactly what it means?

thank you both so much for the help btw!

[grand temple]

it's entire purpose is to trigger onvarchanged locally

[fast berry]

oh ok

thanks! this makes everything so much easier

[red gazelle]

Is there someone around that is willing to help me understand the difference between these two Udon scripts?

https://github.com/jetdog8808/Jetdogs-Prefabs-Udon/blob/master/UdonSharp/Teleport_TwoWay.cs

https://github.com/jetdog8808/Jetdogs-Prefabs-Udon/blob/master/UdonSharp/Trigger_Teleporter.cs

How does that exit event make it "two way"?

[mighty fjord]

The only thing the two-way script does is prevent you from getting stuck in an infinite teleport loop by telling the location you're teleporting to to not teleport you back immediately

[fast berry]

im trying to make a graph that transfers ownership of the networked object BoatSynced (a simple boat vehicle) to whoever presses a button on it, but for some reason only the player that first loaded in can control it which makes me think that ownership isnt actually getting transferred but idk why. I have the onownershiprequest - setreturnvalue true set up elsewhere and it was working before when i had this graph instead. (I'll post a pic of that in a sec). Does anybody know what im doing wrong?

the functioning graph:

the first branch is just receiving a boolean that is true if the boat's velocity is 0 and false if it's anything else

i couldnt fit that part in the screenshot

so i tested it again with just the setOwner node connected to the interact event and still nothing, could this be a bug? it looks exactly the same to me as the time when it was working

[clever flare]

Oof, I'm more of a U# developer, I can't help with the nodes

[fast berry]

do you know if there's a way to code just the bit about transferring ownership in u# and leave the rest in node form? i really dont want to rewrite everything in u# but im fairly confident that i could handle writing just that part

[clever flare]

You could but you'd need the U#

Unity package

jeesus Sorry for ending my sentence so abrubtly

[fast berry]

np lol

thanks for the help!

so once i write the u# script do i just add it as another udonbehaviour on the object or do i need to somehow combine it with the node graph?

[fast berry]

ok turns out it was a bug, i reloaded unity once (maybe it was twice i dont remember) but either way after that it works fine

[clever flare]

Good to see you were able to fix your issue!

[fast berry]

actually it looks like i spoke too soon, the issue that i was encountering was that even though ownership was being transfered, ownership of the 2 synced variables that i was using to control the boat was not. So it seemed like the owner of the object itself was always the player that loaded in first, but in reality that was changing properly, its just that for some reasons the variables didnt go with it. Is there a way to make the variables change owner too or is that not possible?

also is there a known bug with the node graph that makes certain changes not take effect until unity is reloaded? because that's happened to me several times today. I've been doing something, then i changed a value and it appeared to do nothing, then i reloaded unity immediately hit build and test and then the change worked

[red gazelle]

I see - thank you for that explanation. So that would require both area triggered teleporters to be linked to each other to do this?

[mighty fjord]

Exactly ^^

[red gazelle]

Great, thank you!!

I'm trying to make a Unity editor tool to automate some simple tasks in U#, but I'm not super familiar with U# lol

[clever flare]

Why U#?

At that point you'd actually be better off using C# for a unity tool

[red gazelle]

I mean the tool itself is written in C# but it's to assist with U# dev

[clever flare]

Well I guess I misread something, appologies

[red gazelle]

no worries! i didn't word it very clear

I'm not sure U# itself could even interact with the Unity editor since it's all via the editor gui libraries

[clever flare]

Small chance

If you're really geeky you could try to straight up modify Unity, but I tink you'd need a license for that

[faint fiber]

do you think it would be possible to make the pitch of an audio loop increase or decrease depending on what the rotation of an object is?

I wanted to make something similar to gmod's wowozela in my world, and I'm unsure of the practicality of that idea

[clever flare]

Most definetly

[red gazelle]

that's basically what the editor gui is meant for, so i think that'll serve my purposes

[clever flare]

you're doing good, keep it up!

[red gazelle]

Sankyuuu

This is for a course project at my uni, pretty fun to get to do VRC stuff for uni

[faint fiber]

right, so I've almost got it to work properly, but something's off here

I want it to only change pitch when looking up and down, but for whatever reason, it changes pitch when looking from side to side as well

here's the setup, any idea what's going wrong here?

(I tried "Get Rotation" instead of "Get localrotation" as well and it didn't change results)

[red gazelle]

Is there any way at all to communicate out of VRChat from the game? Like from an avatar to a custom peripheral?

Wait, is that doable with the new OSC features?
You can now set up Open Sound Control to change parameters on your avatar and read parameters from your avatar-- both input and output!

[dapper lion]

ye, but thats chrrently avatars only

[red gazelle]

So my goal would be to have a collision on an avatar basically trigger a python script to run, is that feasible?

[dapper lion]

thats an avatar osc question. i have not touched it until its udonable

[red gazelle]

Oh I didn't see that there's a channel for it yet

[faint fiber]

@clever flare sorry, meant to ping for this

[clever flare]

Lemme check this out

[pallid roost]

No, and i dont think they'll ever let you run an eternal script. That'd be a massive security risk.

Unless its just the osc data getting read by a external program that runs it i guess?

[wind atlas]

Can you share what you are trying to do?

Specifically with the python script. Mostly out of my own interest.

[scarlet lake]

Heya folks, I’m trying to figure out to do automatic teleportation in vrc unity. (So like after 10 seconds you teleport without interacting with anything). Anyone know how to do this?

[pallid roost]

Set a trigger for a user to enter the reagion, and then when they do call the teleport function with SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds

SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds("TeleportPlayerFunction", 10, VRC.Udon.Common.Enums.EventTiming.Update);

or whatever that looks like in udon graph

[scarlet lake]

thank you so much!!

[red gazelle]

I mean the goal of osc is to communicate between applications so I would be reading the osc data with a script ye

[red gazelle]

Yeah!! My goal is to create a system to let simple peripherals communicate with the game via Python, and rather than doing complicated shader stuff it'd be great to use osc or something similar. To start I wanna make a hat that has haptics for headpats that's super cheap lol

[celest egret]

Maybe everyone here is trying to do the same but, is there a way to reference an avatar's animator and read the parameters from it?

Basically i want to find the local avatar gameobject, them get the animator component to read parameters there sent by osc applications

Is there a way to do that?

[mighty fjord]

Not unless the avatar is specifically set up to output the values through something readable by udon, like a pixel on the screen or bone rotations

[celest egret]

Oh?

What could i setup like this that works with udon?

Its a map where i will be by myself, for stream purposes

Its fine if its a dirty method

What could my avatar output that udon can read?

I even tried using gameobject.find to find a game object inside the avatar and it did not work

[elder peak]

i would look into midi for worlds instead

that allows to send data too but to worlds

[mighty fjord]

Avatar -> OSC -> Midi -> Udon?

[celest egret]

Yeah! I think this should do it

[elder peak]

no, you can use midi directly from your computer to a vrchat world

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/midi

[mighty fjord]

Ah, I missed that they were already using OSC

[elder peak]

no avatar requirement
pipe your information via a midi device into vrchat and you can react via udon

[mighty fjord]

Yup

[elder peak]

we will get osc for worlds too
but for now that's not the case

[mighty fjord]

Yeah, eventually

[austere bough]

hey so i went through all i could think of and i cant figure out how or where to fix this problem when trying to post this to questhere is the error message thats probs the main one thats stoping me

[clever flare]

This is an avatar, #avatar-development-links

[austere bough]

ok so i downloaded it from a vrc avi downloading site witch i cant say the name bc its banned

and yes it is

[clever flare]

This isn't a udon question

Udon is only usable on the world SDK, not the avatar SDK

[fresh cave]

I was following the VRChat Udon - Building a Networked Slider Video by VRC. till i got to 4:58 Where im suppose to make a Udon Behaviour Script and add new program. witch i did, but the video then tells me to press Open Udon Graph but all i see is this? I followed vid 1 to 1

oh wait nvm CyanEmu broke everything

[wind atlas]

Ah, so custom hardware interaction. I have no clue how to do that without writing a bunch of stuff yourself. Hopefully, OSC will make that simple for people.

[faint fiber]

still trying to figure this thing out

I've tried a couple different things in the script and the world itself and I haven't gotten any closer

really unsure what's going wrong here

[loud bridge]

You don't want to access the quaternion's X component directly. Instead, use localRotation.eulerAngles.x

[faint fiber]

alright, so I changed the script to this, and it does eliminate the pitch directional issues

but now, the pitch is extremely sensitive

which makes sense, since it's taking the x and applying it to the pitch (90 degree x angle = the pitch being x90)

but as you might expect, it makes my ears bleed

could there be a way to make a certain range of pitches, so there's kind of a maximum and a minimum pitch?

[clever flare]

Well you should try to calculate it into a percentage of a range

[faint fiber]

hmm

[loud bridge]

Yep. Multiply the source value by a dampening scalar (like 0.5 to make it half as sensitive) and then pass it into Mathf.Clamp to set the lower and upper limits.

[faint fiber]

alright, I've been playing around with this setup, and I keep getting the same results no matter what value I change

There might be something super out-front that I'm missing

[clever flare]

I wish I could help but Udon graphs give me headaches

[faint fiber]

same lmfao

[clever flare]

I make everything in U#, graphical programming doesn't work well for me

[wind atlas]

Quaternions give me a headache, that's why I usually stick to vectors. You can use something like this:

var lookDir = _player.GetTrackingData(VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType.Head).rotation * Vector3.forward;
var val = Vector3.Dot(lookDir, Vector3.up);

[clever flare]

who doesn't get headaches when working with quaternions

[wind atlas]

Val is 1 when the player is looking up and -1 when looking down.

I just googled how to translate that into your own values, this is what I found:

float t = Mathf.InverseLerp(-1, 1, val);
float output = Mathf.Lerp(newPitchLowest, newPitchHighest, t);

Idk if all of this works, but should in theory.

[wind atlas]

Yep, sticking to eulerAngles is fine I guess, but once you start to deal with applying multiple rotations, when things are in a hierarchy too, stuff just stops making sense.

[loud bridge]

Your clamping values are too small. The input range is -180 to 180. So, even with the multiplication, you're trying to clamp a 180 unit range to 1 unit. Try something like -40 for the min and 40 for the max and adjust from there.

[loud bridge]

You can simplify that first line by just referencing the Transform's forward vector directly.

[loud bridge]

Actually, that whole bit can essentially be boiled down to:
var val = _player.GetTrackingData(VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType.Head).forward.y;

[wind atlas]

Unfortunately, you can't since it's not a transform you receive.

[loud bridge]

Ah, my bad; you're right.

[faint fiber]

Thank you, I'll check this out

After inputting those values and then fiddling with them as well as the multiplier, the result is exactly the same every time and I can't really tell why

I would've thought that at the very least changing the multiplier from .5 to .05 would have some sort of change, but it's been the same result

[wind atlas]

Probably because even if you move by only 20 degrees, that would still be 20 * 0.05 = 1.

Try a much lower value.

I'd still recommend my approach, since it's easier to reason about.

[faint fiber]

lowered the multiplier down by a ton, and I mean a ton, like to .0001

I'm still not hearing any differences

Altering the clamp minmax values doesn't seem to change it either

wait a minute

what just happened

I just randomly messed with the values on a dime and it did soemthing

let me mess with this

[faint fiber]

right, so things have changed, and it seems like

[warped tide]

Hi guys can someone help me boosting my VR CHAT? fps i am on oculus i have a gtx 1660 i5-9400f intelcore and 16gb of ram

The issue is that i always get 40-35 fps in even empty worlds

I've tried to fix this issue but i cant since theres no graphic settings in VR CHAT

[dapper lion]

there is, but this question might be better in #user-support-old

[faint fiber]

the pitch always hits its peak when the object gets to 90 degrees, and then it decreases as it progresses to 180
However, the negative number side is always pitched a lot higher, and acts as an exact opposite to the positive side, peaking at -1 and -180 and reaching its lowest point at -90

Altering the clamp doesn't seem to do anything to change this

[ebon musk]

How would one go about calling an Udon# script variable in an Udon graph? I don't use UdonSharp but a prefab I use does, but I need to pull a variable from the Udon# script.

[loud bridge]

You should be able to use UdonBehaviour.GetProgramVariable

[pearl tiger]

Does U# support custom enums? Trying to create states for my script but the U# compiler is not happy and can't find the enum type

[faint fiber]

Alright so correction, changing the clamp to a small number like 1 or 3 does make the clamp noticeable, but it's not very useful in this case

[tacit pasture]

with the new update are we allowed to access players mic streams?

[pallid roost]

from the patchnote it sounds like its specifically on the avatar sdk.
So you could make an avatar that when a user uses it it sounds really quiet?

or an avi that mutes people wearing it XD

[tacit pasture]

i just want to access the audio stream to pass through audio link

[topaz jetty]

no, it's a float that is set to the volume of the player's mic

[tacit pasture]

:(

oh well

next time

[topaz jetty]

so if they're talking very loudly it'd be closer to 1 and if they're not talking then it'd be closer to 0

and it's only for avatars

[tacit pasture]

yeah makes sense

[pallid roost]

Oooooohhh i misread it, that makes more sense

[mint seal]

Quick question: SDK updated so... i need to update my UNITY version too?

[topaz jetty]

no, just import the new sdk package, the unity version is the same

[south compass]

hello vrc wizards I have a question? is it possible to make a script where a player owns a room and moves them to said room but if other player loads in want the same room they can spawn in other room under it? like this https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0553/3656/6953/files/gta5_mlo_gnmods_interior_crastenburg_hotel_20_720x.png?v=1621357547

So player one claims room 1 player 2 comes along click the same claim door but it spawn room next to room 1? and so on and so on?

is this possible in vrc?

[mint seal]

Alright, thanks!

[pallid roost]

It is, but why not just say that room is occupied and make they pick a different one?

[thorny silo]

hello, how would i fix these errors?

They are preventing my VRChat SDK Control panel from showing up

[grand temple]

the first error can be ignored, the second error is a script that you imported from an asset pack. It was probably made for a different version of unity. Most likely you can just delete it because you can't upload those scripts to vrchat anyway

[south compass]

So am working on system for player to buy house and it saves but if two players load into the same world it will not give them at the moment same house so need script that goes like player 1 has loaded in here is his house and when player 2 loads in and has the same house it goes house 1 taken but use a modular to load the same house but under it? this is how it works with FiveM MLO mods for player housing but VRC is kind of hard to learn. also wish we could use SQL data base for save system.

[fresh cave]

Does anyone know how to attach a shader/material [poiyomi] colour and emmision to Udon Graph so i can change hue through a slider

[clever flare]

you'd need a reference to the shader and a get shader param node

if they even exist, but I could be confusing it with Godot

[fresh cave]

yea thats Godot

[clever flare]

Well I do know It's possible to change parameters in C#, butI don't know if udon has it

I'm a U# user and I don't know if even that has it

[fresh cave]

damn... i dont know C#. Wish there was some tutorial on a simple hue shift slider

[clever flare]

there should be, I'd look around in Udon for anything related to shaders

[fresh cave]

There usually isnt any tutorials on specific stuff. usually its general stuff that you need to figure out to edit it to work for something else

[clever flare]

I should start making tutorials at this point lmfao

[fresh cave]

that would be cool and help out the community. but if you where to do so. please to specific stuff like [for eg] how to specifically make a slider that changes hue on a shader

honestly i should do the same, would be sorta fun i guess

[clever flare]

That's very specific, but I could check it out in some kind of test world

It's hard to make a tutorial for everyone becquse everyone has different ideas

[fresh cave]

true it would cost time and work get hopefully get stuff working

oof ok this chat is getting off-topic and dont want to get into trouble. I will try find a way to get a poiyomi hue shift working on a slider

[clever flare]

I think it would work, you can do it! Take a cookie for extra luck 🍪

[fresh cave]

thank you 😄 cookie taste yummy

[wind atlas]

The same way you'd do it in C#:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/MaterialsAccessingViaScript.html

Type in those Material methods in the graph and they should appear.

[clever flare]

this is what I was trying to say

thanks puppet, 🍩 for being extra helpful

[loud bridge]

Not sure about poiyomi, but for a general unity shader, here's the steps you need to follow:

1. Expose a float variable for the hue in your script
2. (optional) make your script run in the editor with [ExecuteInEditMode] (not sure how compatible that is with U# though)
3. Determine which color property you need in your shader by switching the unity editor to debug mode and finding the color property in the material's inspector
4. Use UnityEngine.Color.HSVtoRGB to convert your hue value into an RGB value.
5. Use Material.SetColor (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material.SetColor.html) with the name of the shader property and your new color to set the hue to the actual in-world material.

Hi, i am trying out the Scroll Texture C#Sharp for my world, I've already set it up, used the play function, it works as the texture of the smoke scrolls, but when testing out in vrchat, the smoke texture is not scrolling, here is the example:

[grand temple]

you can't upload c# scripts to vrchat for security

[visual elm]

oh? i see..

is there another way to make the texture scroll like in Super Mario 64?

[grand temple]

vrchat has a system called udon which allows you to do programming instead. you could either recreate it with udon graph or compile that script into udon with udonsharp

[visual elm]

oh, use Udon Sharp instead? i can copy from c# to U#?

or..... can you provide me the formula for Udon graph for texture scrolling with X and Y?

@grand temple

[grand temple]

everything the script does should be the same in u#

[visual elm]

ah, thank you

[visual elm]

ok, so i'm quite lost

how do i copy the stuff from the C# into U#, @grand temple

[dapper lion]

make new udonsharp script with udonsharp imported into project, when attempting to convert, there may be issues so be prepared to debug. after making a new udonsharp script and opening it. copy all contents of your script into the udonsharp script under the “UdonSharpBehavior” class. and include things included above on previous script and see if that works

[visual elm]

ok, i'll go do that

[real willow]

i just made a world and tried to go test it but im getting 3 compiler errors, I have not made anything special in it. There's no UDON Script and im getting these errors

[opal dew]

Do methods like OnDrop() get called by all clients or just the (former) owner?

[visual elm]

oh, it works now! thanks!

[clever flare]

I think that this might be called for the owner, an easy test would be to have a cube with a mesh renderer disable itself when it runs

then you run 2 clients, and if the cube dissapears in both clients it gets sent out to everyone

if it only dissapears for the client doing the action, it's client only, so you'd have to use sendcustomnetworkevent with all as the target

[opal dew]

I realised I currently have an issue that if an object starts deactivated, it won't be alive so can't listen for deserialisation events that might 'wake it up'

[clever flare]

Yes, that's why I usually create "managers" for these objects, listening for events that have to activate the inactive object

remember, inactive objects can never active themselves<

[opal dew]

Yeah, I'm reworking that bit of my logic now

[clever flare]

Keep us up to date, and don't be afraid to ask questions if something breaks, alright?

[opal dew]

of course :3

[faint fiber]

sorry, I thought I'd record a demo of this behavior in action, since it was hard to describe

(sound warning, his scream is very annoying and loud)

as you can see, when tilting upwards from 90 degrees, instead of making the pitch raise, it just decreases

and when it reaches past 180 degrees (or -1 degrees) it gives the opposite effect, raising the pitch

This case is super perplexing for me and I have no idea why it's behaving this way, I'm beginning to consider that it might just be impossible with how euler angles function, but then again I don't know

[wide basin]

if your goal is to make a texture scroll, id recommend you do that within your shader instead of in a script

[visual elm]

i don't have any shaders for it, unfortunately, unless.... @wide basin

[wide basin]

the most popular shader is vrchat is https://poiyomi.com/ it has texture scrolling features

also editing standard to add texture scrolling is really easy

[loud bridge]

Yeah, that's an euler approximation thing. What are you trying to do? Higher pitch when it aims higher? If so, forget rotations, and just use transform.forward.y as your input variable.

[faint fiber]

I'll try this out, tysm

[visual elm]

oh, then i'll give it a try

wait, i thought poiyomi doesn't work for vrchat worlds

[scarlet lake]

any shader works on worlds

[visual elm]

then i got lied to before....., hmmmm, ok

[faint fiber]

Tried this out, and it gave different but similar results

Like before, the pitch peaks at 90 degrees, but then it decreases on the way to 180

It did get rid of the very high pitch when in the negative number range

(This recording is very quiet for some reason lol)

Overall, the recurring issue is that the pitch always reaches its highest at 90 degrees rather than the preferred 180

[loud bridge]

Show your code for that please

[faint fiber]

(sorry if the visual editor is annoying)

[loud bridge]

You probably want to add one to the Y, but otherwise, that looks correct.

[faint fiber]

What do you mean by adding one to the y?

[loud bridge]

set pitch to y+1

[faint fiber]

Ohh gotcha

[loud bridge]

right now it's -1 to 1, which is not a great range for pitches (1 is default)

[opal dew]

Just remember the auto locking code won't activate so remember to manually lock the shader before you hit Build.

Otherwise not only will the shader be unperformant, but also will make your build time VERY slow.

[visual elm]

ok

[faint fiber]

yooo I think this actually did it

with a bit of tweaking, I got it to work nearly perfectly

[loud bridge]

Nice, glad to hear it

[faint fiber]

Thank you so much, I'll update if anything goes awry

[opal dew]

Hmm, so I've got object on/off syncing now with the help of a manager, but the object properties won't automatically update once the object wakes up so other players are seeing default data.

And even if I set the data after the wakeup call, it seems the object data transmits quicker than the object wake up

[visual elm]

well, i got the poiyomi toon, tried to find the texture panning and i can't find it

[opal dew]

Pretty much all texture fields have a panning option

[visual elm]

i saw one in glitter, but i don't want the glitter

[opal dew]

Expand the arrow next to any texture slot to see its tiling, offset, panning and UV selector

[visual elm]

oooooooooh, i see, ok

there we go, got it

one more thing that still bothers me

the texture i got for the smoke effect like a box

like |, i don't know how to get rid of that

[loud bridge]

That's the difference between a tiling and non-tiling texture. It takes a graphic artist to fix it properly, but some art tools can do a rough job.

[visual elm]

oh, i see, ok

[tepid spade]

Hey I have a question what does it mean when you see under the username at a person with headphones on and a red X through it slash through it I mean

[faint fiber]

so completely unrelated to my previous question, I've set up a udon script to make this guy make a screaming sound, do a little screaming animation, and toggle a particle stream when picked up and used, but for some reason it doesn't work as intended

This is the script

It doesn't make any sense to me at all, since I've used almost this exact script before and it worked perfectly in that case

[loud bridge]

Check that none of your references have been unassigned in the UdonBehaviours' inspector. That can happen after editing scripts.

[faint fiber]

Alright, I'll check it out

[quasi nymph]

Any ya'll know the UdonSharp equivalent of this?

SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds(ApplyJumpForce, 0.15f, Update);

[visual elm]

if i decrease the proximity of an interactable object, would it be normal reach? because most interactable objects i've placed in the world can be reached by far, and i don't like that

[sturdy thicket]

How do I enable jump?

[rustic bloom]

For Udon Graph; where do I find the "break;" command for example for breaking out of a for statement?

[rustic bloom]

I haven't used it, but try looking at playerapi > get/set JumpImpulse.

[sturdy thicket]

Thank you

[loud bridge]

There isn't one, afaik. You just stop flowing from that node and flow from the For loop's End node instead. You'd also need to alter the "end" var for the For loop, presumably.

[scarlet lake]

It works, but every time its tested it works once then keeps looping back up to the second point but won't go back to the first one. Any ideas?

[topaz jetty]

can player IDs be 0 or negative values?

or can they only be positive?

[loud bridge]

They appear to start at 1

i think this is undefined by the api so you should not rely on it

[terse solstice]

im makign a veicle and im havign a problem where my model is pushed up on test mode

im usign a cahracter controller there, anyone know why?

[loud bridge]

Because the collider extends below the model? Get those green lines up to the bottom of the wheels.

[terse solstice]

it accutaly dont

in edit mode its correct

[loud bridge]

Then the animation is pushing it to a different origin

[loud bridge]

Try disabling root motion in the Animator component

[terse solstice]

oooh

hmm

that may be it

but... all my moviment is root motion based

i cant relly remove it

rly

[loud bridge]

Then you have to fix the animations

[terse solstice]

i see

thx

[tepid salmon]

@obsidian vapor i asket the same think over a year ago and nobody know how it working so i test my self and i found the way forget reverb zone and take the audio reverb filter but notice that it got none aerias to do its all the world but it not metter make a entertrigger script and turn the componet on and off dont close the object why wen you close the object wen the vrchat runing in to the world it not gona work with a close object where the audio reverb filter is

atleast it worket then xD

i have like over year to use it

[loud bridge]

Haven't tried it myself, but could it be a Unity layer issue? Maybe try changing the ReverbZone to the PlayerLocal layer if you haven't already?

Um help....I did something and I can't move at all

I was trolling some people with a few avatars, simple and harmless scares, making everyone laugh, then I pulled up this debug menu...

I'm trying to make the player move a small amount every frame, but when I load in I'm just stuck in one place and can't move. Does anyone know why?

[snow arrow]

you're teleporting a player every frame

so its going to lock them in place

[vale forum]

but shouldn't they still be visibly teleporting?

[wind atlas]

Teleportation doesn't have visuals in VRChat.

[vale forum]

so is there any way to move a player up a small amount at a consistent rate?

[wind atlas]

Yeah, change MovementPerFrame before you use it for TeleportTo

[vale forum]

hm, I have the values edited so that in theory they should be changed and moving

at a rate of .01 per frame

[wind atlas]

Sorry, we probably weren't clear enough on this. TeleportTo teleports a player to an absolute world position.

It's not a rate of movement or anything like that.

[vale forum]

Ahh, so I'm using the wrong function

[wind atlas]

Try SetVelocity

[vale forum]

Yes! That worked. Thank you @wind atlas and @snow arrow

I am learning C# alongside udon and trying to replicate the kinds of things i'm supposed to do to a cube with a player (as a side exercise)

so like moving the cube, etc

[summer saffron]

how do i get my prefab back

cuz it keep saying prefab not exist when i try upload avataer

[ebon musk]

Is there a way to make someone load into the world already in a station/chair?

[clever flare]

I'd recommend an onplayerjoin event, but I don't know if you can automatically seat a player

if so, you should easily just run a "playersit" event on the localplayer inside onplayerjoin

that way they would "instantly" sit in the chair

[clever flare]

Dear god I hope you're using U#

Learning C# and still using node-type udon is such a waste if you could double the learning speed by using U#

Just a suggestion of course, It caught my attention

[vale forum]

I'm using the graph because this threw me for a loop:

[clever flare]

Ah well yes, that is a pain

especially enums... ugh hate having to work around them

But you keep it up! I know you can do it! 🍪

[vale forum]

I guess I'll take slower learning speed if I can get a better comprehension and avoid setbacks >w<

[clever flare]

Setbacks are inevitable, you are using Unity.

[vale forum]

Thank you so much ❤️ ❤️ It's actually kind of funny, I learned C# two years ago but I have memory loss problems and didn't use it so I forgot all of it 😂

[clever flare]

I use C# daily, pretty neat language if I do say so myself

[vale forum]

I'm enjoying it so far!

[clever flare]

Great to hear!

Is there any way to get the vrcplayerapi object when interacting with an object? interact does not include a vrcplayerapi object

[grand temple]

interact is local so you can assume networking.localplayer

[clever flare]

Alright, thanks!

Is there any list to see which events are local<

?*

[real willow]

Im new to udon and wanted to know how to make physical interactable buttons. I tried looking for a tutorial but could not find one. Can you guys recommend one?

[red gazelle]

Sorry to ask again, but has anyone experienced this bug where MIDI notes don't release? Other users don't seem to be having this issue so I wonder if it's something entirely on my own end.

[civic birch]

Okay I've been trying to make this script synced with other players using this tutorial, and I'm not sure where I've gone wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3VeBzV9HgI

Now depending on how I rearrange the nodes, it'll either not activate at all, or be activated by the time I get to the objects it affects

[clever flare]

I can't read your Udon Node graph

it's a bit too pixelated

[civic birch]

Hold on lemme enlarge it

[clever flare]

I'm going to do my best to help you, but I must warn you udon-graph confuses me to no avail

[civic birch]

I've added comments to make it easier

The difference between this and my old script for the event is that the Activation anim part of the script was all there was, and the Interact node was there in that part as well

[clever flare]

I can't help you, I'm not good enough at visual programming to understand the nodes and lines

[civic birch]

Can anyone else help?

[high mural]

does udon let you change materials in script or do you have to setup animations to do this?

[clever flare]

It allows you to do this, yes

Just get the material from a gameobject, and then another material as a variable, then just assign the new material to the material of the gameobject

[high mural]

ok i'll try it out thanks

[clever flare]

Anytime

Does anyone here know how Udonsynced technically works? does it automatically update and serialize or do we have to manually send out a function to sync it? (I'm using U#)

[civic birch]

Yes, that's what I'm struggling with. The same tutorial I mentioned earlier has a part for U#

I've removed the late joiner part of the script which has helped some

[pallid roost]

It depends on your sync mode. If its on manual you have to manually request serliziation.

if you have it on continuous it does it automatically around 5 times a second

[clever flare]

So essentially, I'd be better of using an "automatic" sync? to give some context I'm setting up a string array that keeps the names of the "active players" (players that are going to be sent into a game) so the game can register certain events to only those players. but I need the other players to also see the player's name on a "lobby screen", should I sync the array or do it in some other way?

[pallid roost]

Manual is always better, if set up your logic so it'll always call request sync after anything is updated. Just since it means you have less network traffic clogging your bandwith

[clever flare]

Is there some function I need to call for updating the sync?

Edit: "request sync" i assume

Nope I found an article in the docs, Thanks for giving me a lead! 🍪

[pallid roost]

Yea its "RequestSerialization"

just remember that it wont trigger a OnDeserialization for the person calling it.

[civic birch]

That's the thing. Mine is in continuous sync mode but when I tested the machine in my world with people on both PC and Quest, nothing updated like it did in SDK2

[pallid roost]

is its good logic to have a state event that updates everything after the OnDeserialization happenes, and you call it from the OnDeserialization and manually if you're the person who called the RequestSerialization

[pallid roost]

What's your logic? (if its U# feel free to send a screenshot) if its node graph i cant do anything

i hate node graph

[civic birch]

Here's the first one, which is less complex

The part with the networking is what needs fixing

Oh wait

[pallid roost]

How do you tag a variable as synced on graph?

[high mural]

tried changing materials in script, didn't work; am i doing it wrong?

[wind atlas]

You are not doing the same thing that's been done in the video. Is that on purpose?

[earnest vessel]

Having issues with networking and teleporting players

In my world, when someone has the most votes, they are teleported out of the arena

I did put in the condition that the teleported player is the local player

And during local testing; this condition only worked for player 1

Player 1 can teleport themselves out of the arena if they are the most voted

[civic birch]

The video syncs toggling an object on and off, I'm setting variables and using an animator

[earnest vessel]

But if I vote out player 2, player 2 doesn't teleport for some reason

[wind atlas]

Might be the case that the material instance on the cube is different than the material asset you drag and drop into the array.

[civic birch]

Like this. Apparently doesn't work on Animators

[high mural]

i think that if you're teleporting the local player, then the player that gets teleported will be dependent upon who is the owner of the object that the script is on

[high mural]

yes, that is the case. do you know a solution?

[earnest vessel]

That's what I believed; the vote manager script is currently owned by the master

[high mural]

then whoever the owner is will be teleported

[wind atlas]

@high mural Cache it in code (like on Start).

[earnest vessel]

The master was the only one that can be teleported, but not everyone else if they are the most voted

[high mural]

ouch... ok

[earnest vessel]

Do I have to change ownership to the targeted player for teleportation to work?

[high mural]

or identify which player should be teleported

[civic birch]

@pallid roost What I'm trying to do is tell all players to have an animator do its thing once one player clicks on that object

[wind atlas]

Are you trying to sync variables? The code for that would look very different. You are only syncing via events in your screenshots.

[pallid roost]

I'm pretty sure i;ve done something like that before

hm

[earnest vessel]

The targeted player was identified through calculation of most votes based on all the vote counters for each player; do I have to change ownership of the vote managing script to the targeted player for teleportation to work?

[high mural]

i can't say for sure; that might work. i'd have to know more. just experiment and see if it works

[wind atlas]

I think what you are missing is this here:

[civic birch]

The tutorial I watched didn't put anything there so I got confused

[wind atlas]

Ok, maybe I'm wrong then.

[pallid roost]

I did this, all you'd have to do is swap the bool for a float, and sync that float. every time the OnDeserialization event occurs, porvide the new float to the animator

[wind atlas]

The thing is, syncing state is easier with variable sync.

I'd recommend recreating the tutorial video first, ensure that it works and you understand it, then modify it to work for your use case.

As the other said, unfortunately I'm not that great at reading udon graph myself.

[snow arrow]

Anybody have experience following bones of an avatar. I'm trying to figure out an easy way to get my object to orient correctly when following the hand bone position and wrist rotation.

[pallid roost]

something like this

[wind atlas]

Make a transform follow the hand, then parent the object to it.

This way you don't have to think about rotations.

[snow arrow]

ahh yeah thats an easy way

but wait i want it to rotate if people rotate their arm

kind of like a wrist watch

[civic birch]

Okay, I've changed the animator to use a float instead of bool. So, change the graph to match and sync that float with what command?

[high mural]

alright i got the materials to swap via script; next question. how much of a performance impact will it have to change materials on a few hundred objects at once?
