udon-general

[pallid roost]

Oh you could use bool too, if your animator only has two states. You'd just need a float if you hoave more than 2 states

[civic birch]

Oh lol I just have 2

[snow arrow]

Shouldn't be bad if the materials are instanced

aka shared

[high mural]

ok cool. i'll just test it out and see how it goes then. hopefully i won't have to use the alternative method...

[snow arrow]

If you're using standard shaders on dynamic objects, i'd set gpu instancing as well.

[high mural]

they are poiyomi

[snow arrow]

oh well you'll have to test.

[wind atlas]

Exactly, make the child position something like 0.5 on the y axis, or however thick the arm is supposed to be, and it will rotate with the arm

Honestly, not sure how to explain it with words. Just try it out yourself, make the watch a child of the transform that follows the arm.

[snow arrow]

so put an udon script on it

and have it just run on update locally

[civic birch]

Do you use OnDeserialization on just late joiners or for syncing continuously?

[snow arrow]

then in my master script parent the game object to it

[wind atlas]

Can be done all in one script too. But yeah, have the arm transform position and rotation set from the player arm position and rotation. Then attach the watch to the arm transform.

[snow arrow]

ok. for context, I'm actually attaching something like a yugioh duel disc to the wrist. but its just for dealing regular cards

[burnt pivot]

Rate me

[clever flare]

0/10 not udon

[civic birch]

Wrong chat mate

[clever flare]

Rate this code instead:

while (true){
  debug.Log("Yes");
}

this makes my Unity go "yes"

[pallid roost]

OnDeserialization will run every time the synced variable is updated from the owner (not nessicarily changed) if its on continuious thats a few times every second. if on manual sync mode itll run whenever someone joins, and whenever RequestSerialization is called. Which you'd do in your interact.
Interact would be like:
Swap your bool value, call RequestSerialization, then call setsate for the local user since OnDeserialization wont trigger for the person who called RequestSerialization

[grand temple]

I'm pretty sure if you lock up the main thread it'll never be able to actually print to the log 🤣

[clever flare]

I still have no idea how this works lol, I did what I could it's quite an outlandish subject to me

[clever flare]

Oh it will, until the main thread inevitably completely shits on unity and crashes

[pallid roost]

To be really simple:
RequestSerialization is saying : Send out a message with the current state of all the variables to everyone else so they can update what they have.
OnDeserialization: I have received an update message with new synced variable values, lets do something with those.

[civic birch]

Mine are continuous, so add RequestSerialization to the Interact line?

[clever flare]

But my question is "who" is sending out the message

And how do we get the newly synced values into the variables?

[pallid roost]

Only the owner of the object should be sending out state updates

i dont think people who arent the owner of the object that the behavior is on can even change them

[clever flare]

And what if the object is an empty with a udonscript

[pallid roost]

Then the current instance owner will be the owner

[clever flare]

Sorry for asking some stupid questions but Networking is not my strong suit

[pallid roost]

everything defaults to the instance owner unless transferd

No worries

[snow arrow]

Can you getprogramvariable in udon graph from a U#

[civic birch]

@pallid roost So I separated a bit of the script as one of the things done will happen to the person that activates it

[clever flare]

Okay so if I read this right, this means that when I call requestserialization() It syncs up the values, or do I have to call it and then change the values inside OnPreSerialization()?

[pallid roost]

You'd want to requestserialization after you've swapped the bool value, not before

[pallid roost]

Correct. It will sync the values at their current state when you call the request.

[civic birch]

Oh that makes more sense, fixing that
If I did it correctly, the person that activates the machine should change the person the person's avatar (after running the check to see if they wanted that) and run the animation for everybody

[civic birch]

Wait, I have some objects and interactabilities toggled here too. Should I put the serialization after that?

[snow arrow]

I get what you're saying. I've done this before. Thanks for the tip.

with the parenting

[pallid roost]

It should come after any synced variables that you want updated have changed.

[civic birch]

Okay thank goodness I can do that

[pallid roost]

im not very good at reading graph though so i cant say where.

[civic birch]

I can at least explain what each part of the graph does

[high mural]

i guess udon doesn't like BroadcastMessage, right?

[clever flare]

So when requestserialization() is called, to update some text with the value, the code should look something like this: right?

    public override void OnDeserialization()
    {
        //text is my textmeshpro component, Playernames is my synced array
        text.text = playerNames[0];
    }```

[pallid roost]

Yea pretty much. But i'd reccomend you make a UpdateText function that has that logic in it, and call that from OnDeserialization.
That way you can call RequestSerialization and call UpdateText for owner as well, since they wont get it trigger from inside the OnDeserialization

[clever flare]

Alright, I'll keep playing around with it hehe

[scarlet lake]

I imported the ProTV 2.2 media player and it broke my entire project, now the control panel won't show up.

I've already tried reimporting the SDK and UdonSharp but I keep getting the same results

[civic birch]

Okay, so another thing I'm trying to do is make the player that triggers a script to change avatars, and then run the animation for everyone else. I can only seem to make the animation work if Interact causes the variable and object changes

[pallid roost]

How are you making a player change avatar? I didn't know there was a way to do that besides an avatar pedestal

[clever flare]

This is pretty odd, the code runs for the player interacting with the cube (It has textupdate function running locally before the request) but the networked player doesn't get the text to be updated, could this be because I'm running 2 clients from the editor or is this just a bug I made?

[civic birch]

Yep, it's under VRCAvatarPedestal

The normal pedestals use Udon so I bet I can use the same command

[vestal mist]

would this work if i want to make my voice louder in a Collison area ?

[pallid roost]

Make them quieter when they enter it? yea

[vestal mist]

wym?

no like voice amp it

so the music in the area is louder

[pallid roost]

It will do the oppsite. You are turning down the distance when they enter

[vestal mist]

ahh

how do i fix it

switch it to the near?

[pallid roost]

set it to a bigger number when they enter

the SetVoiceDistanceFar is how far away a person can be heard

so if you want everyone in your world to hear them set it to like 1000

or more if your world is even bigger

[vestal mist]

on the bottom on or the top

is that correct

also i want it to be in a Collider im not sure what to add to this

[pallid roost]

You want to leave the exit number the be wahtever the default voice volume is, otherwise everyone that leaves is going to have the voice volume messed up

[vestal mist]

so turn it down to about 25

its only for the dj and the host

[pallid roost]

Yea default voice far is 25

[vestal mist]

okay thanks

so would this work if i only want in this

area

im using that box to amp the voice

[scarlet lake]

I figured it out, just had to delete the audio link dlc

[civic birch]

It's the command SetAvatarUse, I checked the pedestal script

[pallid roost]

Ah ok

[civic birch]

@pallid roost So how would I go about making the avatar change only for the player that activates the object, and still run the anim for everyone?

[pallid roost]

If its based off an interact event, the interact even only fires for the person clicking it so you can safely change the avatar inside of that logic

[civic birch]

But the animation doesn't wanna work unless Interact is at the start

I've tried

[pallid roost]

What does the animation part actually do?

[civic birch]

Flips and rotates some bones and "dispenses" another object, which when clicked, removes the object and reverts the animated part of the world back to its original state.

Like this, you can go between these two states as much as you like

[vestal mist]

im trying to find the script name for giving vips access to more shit in the world having the vip role

[civic birch]

It looks better in game than I made it sound LOL

But yeah, locally changes avatar and globally runs anim/trigger change script

That's my end goal

[civic birch]

(Of course, as long as the player is on PC and has toggled the easter egg that is checked in the avatar change part of the graph)

[pallid roost]

Theres a car prefab in the VRC Prefabs database

[snow arrow]

Can we move the variables up and down in the list for udon graph?

[civic birch]

@pallid roost So, does SetAvatarUse not serialize for everyone or could I possibly separate the commands, ex. put Interact at the start of the avatar change commands, then have it immediately call the serialized animation commands?

[worthy beacon]

Running into a weird issue when doing GetBonePosition, i have an error that occurs when a player is first loading into the world, and breaking a udon behavior because it tries to get a bone position that doesn't exist. There's a number of things it could be but i wanted to ask has anything changed or effected GetBonePosition returning Vector.Zero when attempting to get a bone position that isn't in the players humanoid skeleton?

[pallid roost]

SetAvatarUse would just set it for that person but taht should make them load in the new one for everyone if it works like the pedestal id think.

[civic birch]

So even if I ran the setavataruse command with the serialized anim commands, only the activating player should change avatars?

[pallid roost]

No i mean the current avatar is a thing that the game syncs by default, hence why when you change avatar everyone sees the new one. So everyone should see that be default?

[civic birch]

So I should separate the commands so not everyone unwillingly has their avatar changed

[pallid roost]

Yea you dont want it changing everyones avi when one person clicks. Ha

[civic birch]

So is there a way I can tell the anim event to start remotely

Or should I just make a separate graph for the avatar?

[pallid roost]

It should just by updating that synced bool and deseralizaing it

and just do the avatar chagne inside the interact

[earnest vessel]

Changing ownership worked one time; I tried voting off Player 2, and assigned Player 2 the vote manager script by the time they are chosen as the targeted player, and Player 2 teleported out

But I tested again and still the same results like last time; player 2 didn't teleport if they were the most voted, even if I changed ownership to them before teleportation

[safe bobcat]

anyone got a working video player ever time i import one i get alot errors and i followed what i need and still get heaps so yep

[civic birch]

but will that change the objects and their interactability? If not, could I possibly make a separate UdonBehavior component/graph for the object?

[pallid roost]

You could seprate them out, yea

[civic birch]

Yeah, I feel like two graphs may be the easiest, lol

[high mural]

which video player are you trying?

[safe bobcat]

well i tryed wolfi video playe then i tryed usharpvideo player

[high mural]

it worked once, but not twice? what changed between the first and second time?

[high mural]

you can try protv
https://architechvr.gumroad.com/l/protv

but if you're getting errors when trying to import packages like that, could be something in your project that's causing the problem. i had a similar issue

[wide pendant]

does anyone have a timer for a racing map?

[safe bobcat]

i give it ago and get back to u thanks

less errors at less

so how do i fix them xD

[earnest vessel]

I did change the ownership code a bit, yet still had the same results as last time; reverted it back to what I had last time for ownership; still didn't change on either end when testing locally after that

I checked the debug logs from Player 1's POV; it says it transferred ownership of the vote manager script from the master to the target player (player 2), but player 2 did not get teleported

It did not satisfy the if condition that it is local player; threw a log warning I put in saying that it failed to teleport

Checked from Player 2's POV, and Player 2 did not teleport automatically, it just stood there

But in the debug logs it says player 2 received ownership of the object containing the vote manager script

I don't know what else is preventing it; is it something else with ownership? networking? I have tested it only locally with 2-3 clients; I haven't tested it with another user in a private world

[storm moss]

yo, what is this name thing in setTexture for? tryin to change a material texture with a button and not having this filled in is the only part I can find that might be making it not work

I figured out the name thing and it's still not working. nuggets. this is right, yeah? when it gets the custom event change the _MainTex in the material to the other texture? (I tried taking out the quotes and that didn't work either)

[high mural]

how can i get a variable from another script?

[pallid roost]

Sounds like your vrc world sdk is old

or your U# version is out of date

[rich jacinth]

New to Udon, I keep trying to find the on variable change event, but can't find it. What is the node called?

[undone radish]

@slim hound Apologize for the sudden ping, is there any way to make chairs work on a platform hook?

[earnest vessel]

Wondering how could I get the targeted player to teleport themselves out (especially if they are not the master or owner of the vote manager that decides which player to teleport)?

[placid stratus]

I'm needing help amplifying sound on a stage. Could anyone help?

[earnest vessel]

I have been struggling with this for days; not sure if it is with ownership of the object containing the vote manager script or with other networking stuff; most of the times I tested this locally the master can be teleported if they have the most votes, but if anyone else has the most votes, the game does not teleport them (it doesn't satisfy the condition of targeted player == local player according to the logs)

[shrewd burrow]

what is UDON

[pallid roost]

Udon is the language that the world SDK 3 uses

[shrewd burrow]

ah

[indigo finch]

Drag and drop the variable into the graph while holding alt. Also make sure to checkmark 'send change' on any set variable nodes. If you don't, it wont play the on variable change node

[indigo finch]

Have your installed udon#?

[indigo finch]

https://youtu.be/HERcbs636Xo

[safe bobcat]

yer i got it now my adk and udon sharp was outdated lol

[slim hound]

If the chair is rotated slightly on the x or z axis players should no longer be teleported out

[undone radish]

got it

thank you

[shut arch]

I'm trying to build a toggle for a bunch of pickups to reset their local positions. it works in local testing, but in a networked instance it's pretty unreliable... some pieces will move but many others will not. what do you have to do in udon, once you've reset the positions of a bunch of pickups, to get the new positions to sync with everyone?

[flint dust]

Can I write a save file/xml doc to peoples computers who play the game I’m working on so when they join back later, I can have their save? Could I have udon read the file from the local system??

Do I gain more functionality with udonsharp?

[scarlet lake]

Hiya, super new to udon development here. Just wanted to check if I'm able to write in C# code for worlds which have udon implemented. Can I mix them?

[shut arch]

you need to use udonsharp if you want to write anything c#-like

[scarlet lake]

I see thank you, will look into it :)

[pallid roost]

No you cannot.

Filesystem access would pose too many security issues

Although the VRC team have said their working on persistent data for worlds at some point

[clever flare]

They could make it "server side", as the data could be stored to the users and not the world

that way you could transfer data between worlds too

[pallid roost]

I believe that was what they described. But it was a while ago on a dev stream I believe so I can't remember exactly.

Already plan to have some connections between a few of me and my friends worlds when it's released

[mossy kettle]

Hey I was wondering maybe in the future vrchat devs can add banning people from your world, my friend uploaded a world a while ago and had to take it down because there were people keep crashing her world. I know kicking someone is a thing but thats only for an hour. Maybe banning people could have a time to be picked like you can pick how long you want the person to be banned for.

just an idea I had

[clever flare]

Well I do remember that a world used to have a system

but it had to be removed because those systems are not allowed on worlds

though my memory isn't super good so I might be wrong here

[mild ledge]

Hey! Is it normal, that the UdonSyncPlayer (AVPro) ignores audio effects? Everything works with the "(unity)" version but as soon as I set up the "(AVPro)" version the effects wont apply :/

[clever flare]

Going to be honest, most audio sources ignore audio effects

especially reverb zones

[mild ledge]

Thanks, well thats sad!
I have to find a work around then!

[shut arch]

I'm having an issue with the radius around VRC_Pickups. I have a bunch of pickups (a chessboard) that all work fine, but the radius around which you can grab them is fairly large. There's a "reset" button next to the board that's supposed to set all the pieces back to their original locations. But it's very hard to actually get the cursor to point at the button when any pieces are nearby... the pickups always get priority. Can this be adjusted?

[flint dust]

Ahh. Not even using udonsharp.

[pallid roost]

Nope. You can't do anything on U# that you couldn't do in udon graph.

[pallid roost]

Isn't there a pickup range setting on pickups you can change how far away you can interact?

I can't remember the exact name of it in the component though

[shut arch]

ahhh, it's hidden all the way at the bottom. "Proximity" i'm guessing is the parameter?

[pallid roost]

Yup I believe that's it

[loud bridge]

Anyone seen "Object has not been locked by this thread." errors? I'm not doing anything with threading, so it must be something external... No idea where to even start with that one.

[loud bridge]

Also getting this one:
An exception occurred during EXTERN to 'VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApi.__GetPickupInHand__VRCSDKBaseVRC_PickupPickupHand__VRCSDKBaseVRC_Pickup'. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
But the only place I reference that function, I've already checked that the VRCPlayerApi object is not null, so it must be something internal to that function?

[scarlet lake]

May I ask what the progress is on bone dynamics

[cold raft]

Yes but not here, this is udon world scripting

[scarlet lake]

Ohh

Where would that be

[cold raft]

I would recommend the avatar-3 info or general channels

[cinder storm]

sorry if this question has been answered before, but does OnPlayerJoined fire for every player or just the master?

[grand temple]

all players receive an onplayerjoined event that contains all other players

even late joiners get a burst of messages containing all the players that were in the instance before they got there

[cinder storm]

contains all other players? so if I instantiated an object on player join and used that playerApi with SetOwner, would it be trying to set every player as the owner of the object or just the one that joined?

[scarlet lake]

Can all questions be asked here I need to ask about link cable

[cinder storm]

try #user-support-old or #quest-general

[scarlet lake]

Thank you

[fair pulsar]

So... would it be possible to create a shop system in VRchat? Kinda like Udon Chips, but you can save it and it is used for things other than gambling

[pallid roost]

pretty sure udon chips does support using the chips for other things in your worlds other than gambling

but atm there is no way to save things between instances

[fair pulsar]

Oh, ok. Thank you. I swear I found a prefab related to saving and loading data...

[high mural]

is Udon ok with using UnityEngine.UI? just want to make sure

[topaz jetty]

yes

[pallid roost]

Not until VRC Releases the persistence update, I have no idea how they would
https://medium.com/vrchat/vrchat-april-2021-dev-stream-recap-8502bb8c9163

But im open to be being proved wrong, there are some programming wizards out there.

[high mural]

can i convert an udon graph into udonsharp?

[pallid roost]

I believe i saw a graph to U#parser at some point

[high mural]

maybe an easier question then, how can i get the left trigger input in udonsharp?

[pallid roost]

https://gitlab.com/lox9973/UdonFlat/

found it

[high mural]

thanks

[pallid roost]

I havent tried it

will be interesting to see how tidy the code it makes is

[high mural]

the bots never let me paste code... so annoying

[high mural]

that was super helpful, thanks again

[pallid roost]

Glad it worked!

[high mural]

is there a way to check if a player is on VR or desktop in udonsharp?

[snow arrow]

VRCPlayerApi _localPlayer;
    bool isUserInVR;

[high mural]

doesn't seem to be working for me, have I done something wrong here?

[snow arrow]

bool isUserInVR;

    void Start()
    {
        _localPlayer = Networking.LocalPlayer;
        isUserInVR   = (_localPlayer != null && _localPlayer.IsUserInVR());

im just pulling this from some other code I saw

guess you gotta do some more work

[high mural]

yes, that makes it make sense, now it works. thank you

[snow arrow]

sorry about that

[scarlet lake]

how i fix this so whats happening when i go into the world i have to click like the mirror button more than ones

[high mural]

InputUse() seems to be triggering when both press and release the trigger button. is this supposed to happen and is there a way to only make it trigger when pressed?

[grand temple]

yes, that's supposed to happen. the value it provides (true/false) indicates whether it's a press or a release

[high mural]

is there an easy way to only get the press?

[grand temple]

only do stuff if the value is true

[high mural]

that won't work for my situation. guess i'll have to devise something

[grand temple]

no you're not understanding

make a branch, plug the value in

only do stuff on the true aide, that's press

[high mural]

i'm not using the graph, i'm writing udon sharp

[grand temple]

then do if (!value) return;

[high mural]

not really sure what you mean, but i made it work i just had to create a boolean to keep track of if the button was pressed or released. really lame work around.

i just need it to work like a light switch; you press the trigger, thing turns on; press it again and thing turns off.

like i said i got it working, but in a semi-ridiculous way.

[brazen epoch]

You should be tracking the state of something like that anyways

[high mural]

it would be nice if udon had that built in, like Unity does

[grand temple]

wha

that's literally what value is

[brazen epoch]

I got mixed up. My bad. There are props to check the state.
UdonSharp makes Udon very similarly to Unity C#, so just try it and if it compiles, then it probably will work

If you wanted to sync the state of something over the network, you would need to have fields for remote value and local value

[grand temple]

you can track the state of the switch, that's entirely up to you and shouldn't be tracked by vrc because vrc doesn't know what you wang to do with the button. but vrc is giving you the state of the button and you're ignoring it... sure, whatever, do what you want.... but it's a bit silly to turn around and say vrc should handle it because it already is

[high mural]

do you see how unity's input has getbutton, getbuttondown, and getbuttonup? this is what I'm talking about. InputUse() should have that too

[grand temple]

yes, that's what value is

[high mural]

... ok

[grand temple]

value indicates whether the input you are receiving is a press or a release

[high mural]

k

[loud bridge]

Not trying to spam, but re-upping this: Anyone have any thoughts as to how I can debug these issues?

[versed hazel]

i'm following a tutorial to make an object play an animation upon interacting with it but i'm having issues. my main thing is the object i have is a pickup item upon pickup i want the animation to play and upon drop i want it to go back to its original animation state. for instance if i want to make the object disappear on pickup but reappear on drop it would return back. i know i can do this without the animation using a toggle system however this object is also required to have others interact with it while invisible and be able to be moved with someone else attached. So i'm going the animation route instead of the first toggle route. any ideas on making an animation go back to it's previous state upon drop. using udon graph.

idk if i'm explaining it right.

[versed hazel]

i'm using @indigo finch 's tutorial for animation if that helps

[topaz jetty]

I saw a world one time that changes your avatar and then writes/reads data from the avatar parameters which automatically save. Only downside is that every time you save/load you have to change back to your normal avatar when it's done yourself

[versed hazel]

i think the sao world does that if i'm not mistaken writes your save data to the avatar.

[topaz jetty]

yeah

[versed hazel]

that was genius but i agree would be nice if it switched back to the avatar you were using automatically. but i understand why too since there is height restrictions on the avatars in the world once you leave the city

@topaz jetty i know some worlds use a code based system to save states too like the udon rollercoaster world. might be an option

[topaz jetty]

yeah, the benefit there is that you're not limited by the only 16 bytes of data that avatar parameters allow, but then you'd have to copy a string of text every time you want to save, and quest users pretty much gotta write it all down manually

[versed hazel]

true true. say out of curiosity you wouldn't happen to know how to solve my issue with animations would you?

[topaz jetty]

you need to put those animations in an animation controller and set the controller's parameters through udon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeZkctmoBPw

then you can use animator.SetBool(), SetInt(), SetFloat(), ect...

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.html

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AnimatorController.html

[indigo finch]

I made a followup video (one-take) for someone that's was struggling, that use set int() instead that might help for reference
https://youtu.be/RVOtnG_8XD0

[versed hazel]

oh awesome thanks i'll take a look at these

[wide pendant]

Does anyone know of a asset for vrchat worlds that are timers for lap times?

[pallid roost]

Huh. That's pretty smart. I wouldn't have assumed you could even access the players animator from the world side.

[wind atlas]

VRChat made something like that themselves, maybe that's already enough: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/obstacle-course

[earnest vessel]

Still looking for a way to have someone teleport themselves out if they have the most votes in the vote manager; the master can be teleported out just fine, but other players are unable to teleport if they have the most votes (at least when I test it locally through multiple clients); might need help troubleshooting the problem and figuring out what I am missing

[wind atlas]

You can only teleport the local players. You cannot do externalPlayer.TeleportTo

I'd guess that's probably the issue.

So what you have to do, is tell the specific player to teleport themselves. For example, send a custom networking event and in that event, check if the local player was voted out, if they were, then you execute the actual teleport.

[earnest vessel]

Send a custom networking event for the teleport method?

[wind atlas]

Does every client know who was voted out? Then yes, that's all you have to do.

[earnest vessel]

The vote manager calculates the votes from every player's vote counters and determines who is the most voted player; how should I let every client know who was voted out for the custom network event to work?

Right now, the teleportation event is within the vote manager script

[wind atlas]

Are the votes stored only in the master client? Or does ever client know the actual vote results.

[earnest vessel]

Each person has a vote counter that has a synced int representing the number of votes they received; at the end of the round, the votes go to the vote counter to be calculated; their votes are reset when someone leaves the arena

[wind atlas]

Sounds like this is what you could do:
Send a custom networking event for the vote calculation to everyone.
Then in that event, calculate the local votes in those synced ints, find out who has the most.
Execute the teleport if it's the local player.

[earnest vessel]

I will send a custom networking event for vote calculation to everyone at the end of the round

Another script manages the round timer, when time runs out; I will send a network event calling the calculate script from the vote manager

[wind atlas]

Yeah, basically. Explaining networking is difficult for me. Here is a very crude diagram, maybe that explains it better:

[earnest vessel]

I understand the diagram; I'll double check my code and test it out;

If there is still a problem, I would have to go through how it works it step by step, and figure out what I am missing

[versed hazel]

this was a big help thank you so much. got it to do what i wanted

[earnest vessel]

Testing it in game; when the timer gets to zero, in the timer script, I sent a custom network event to everyone telling that the round is over;

then I sent another custom network event in the timer script, SendCustomNetworkEvent(NetworkEventTarget.All, nameof(game.CalculateVotes));

with game representing the vote manager script (script for the main game)

CalculateVotes did not run for some reason; now trying to figure out how to have it run over the network

[wind atlas]

You have to do game.SendCustomNetworkEvent

[earnest vessel]

That's what I am missing, thank you

currently testing that right now

[earnest vessel]

worked so far in CyanEmu in Unity, now testing in VRC with other clients;

[scarlet lake]

Can anyone clue me in on how to make things spawn after a player enters a collider? Im making a horror map. I also need help on how touching something like grabbing a key plays a sound and then unlocks a door AKA makes the udon door active and making the fake door inactive

I know exactly what I wanna do but I dont know how to work those things in udon

If anyone can help me please Dm me or @ me. Im in dire need of help.

[earnest vessel]

@wind atlas Thank you, it works now

Tested it locally in multiple clients, and P2 can teleport itself out when having the most votes (when P1 votes for them)

[worldly tapir]

Hey, I've been absent from VRChat for a bit, has any cross-session networking been added yet?
Or some sort of access to any kind of database ?
Or do I still have to resort to illegal black magic to e.g. create a permanent global scoreboard for games worlds?

[wind atlas]

If you don't have that much experience with udon, I'd recommend looking into tutorials for setting animations with udon.
Animations can be used to hide and show objects, play sound and all sorts of other things that are mostly visual.

Check this one out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuWbH5c9CBI

[scarlet lake]

Is it hard to just spawn an object by walking into a collider? I want a short answer how to put it together.

[wind atlas]

Well, there is a video for spawning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45zIB9sCZyw

It doesn't use colliders though.

[scarlet lake]

Im seeing buttons. I need help with players entering colliders

[wind atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-YSWkJtutI

Try youtube yourself, maybe you'll find other tutorials.

[wind atlas]

Persistence was announced a while back, but it's still not out.

[worldly tapir]

Aw damn.
But it being announced gives me hope, this will open up a whole new world of opportunities!
Thanks for the heads up!

[wind atlas]

This is also helpful https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/player-collisions

There are also examples in the VRChat sdk

[vague osprey]

I have a bit of an issue that I need help with. I'm trying to make so a door can be opened and closed. The tutorials I've seen mention putting the game object you want to be animated into the node graph. I do that, but I get an error that says, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." And I go to try and connect the node for the door to the setbool node, and it brings up an "Input search" Window. Am I missing something important that I need to do to get the door set up properly?

[vestal mist]

i wanna make this globle do do i switch the local networking

to what?

[snow arrow]

do player id's keep incrementing throughout an instance's life or do they shift down if a player leaves?

[shrewd lion]

Is it possible to manipulate strings with udon?

[snow arrow]

@shrewd lion u can do a lot of with strings

[shrewd lion]

Im looking to combine smth a user enters into a box with other text.

[snow arrow]

yes i use the string concat node a lot for debug nodes

just one example

u can ofc use two string variables and those can be synced

[empty rain]

Heyo smart people! I have a question. I'm trying to create my own world and I want to be able to have movies played on a screen like some of these movie worlds already created. How do I go about doing this in Unity? Thanks for the help!

[shrewd lion]

How do you convert a string to VRCUrl

[shrewd lion]

Seems like there isn't a way to combine urls to make youtube work on quest automatically?

[pallid roost]

if you have a link barsing site that takes a URL as a optional parameter it wouldnt be hard to just append that to the string before you send it to the player

if thats what your implying

[shrewd lion]

Oh I see. I'll try that.

[shrewd lion]

Yeah you can't touch text thats referenced by a video player vrc url thing

[pallid roost]

But you can grab it before it gets to the player, while its in the textbox

depending on what player you're using that is

Im sure you could do it with the USharp player

In here you'd just append your url infront of the urlField

[shrewd lion]

Im tryna find that in Syn's player rn

[pallid roost]

👍 I havent used that player but it should be possible.

I considered doing it myself but i dont know a good consistent service to redirect urls, without maybe just setting up my own

[shrewd lion]

Ah, its never seen in the U# as string, ill try to do my own thing on enter pressed see if that works

[pallid roost]

you can covert it there and back like that

[shrewd lion]

oh ok

I searched for that on github and got nothin

wack

[pallid roost]

although addmittidly i havent tested the .tostring, but it should output the url

for that page? its here https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo/blob/master/Assets/USharpVideo/Scripts/VideoControlHandler.cs

[shrewd lion]

Im not using U#

[pallid roost]

Ah ok.

[shrewd lion]

https://github.com/synergiance/SynMediaPlayer

ye

[pallid roost]

Ah yup. here. https://github.com/synergiance/SynMediaPlayer/blob/Testing/Assets/SynMediaPlayer/Logic/ControlPanel.cs

[shrewd lion]

but i might have an idea

[pallid roost]

Line 272

[shrewd lion]

didnt realize you could just new VRCUrl things

[pallid roost]

Indeed, can make a new whatever you like

[shrewd lion]

that was where i got lost at originally haha

lemme test that

[shrewd lion]

"Method is not exposed to Udon" (new VRCUrl)

didnt like that at all

so I need to update the text

[pallid roost]

Oh it doesnt let you new one?

Hm

[shrewd lion]

no thats the issue ive been having

vrchat restricted it for security

[pallid roost]

Yea that'd make sense

[shrewd lion]

ima try appending the text text that is referenced

[shrewd lion]

this doesn't work either. I try passing in the reference text

[pallid roost]

can you cast it instead of making a new one

change the last line to

VRCUrl newUrl = (VRCIrl)stringUrl;

i assume you cant slight chance you can?

if you can thats's probably a security issue actually XD

[shrewd lion]

ill try for the meme

I know ProTV has a plugin to do it somehow

but I like Syn's audio

[shrewd lion]

Conversion not allowed

[pallid roost]

Aw dam

[shrewd lion]

Im gonna ask the guy who made protv plugin if he can explain how he did it

[maiden sundial]

Hey. I have a quick question. How can we tell when a player has fully loaded in the scene? Or at least it can start seeing things? I have an animation that plays on start but it plays too soon for the player to see. I assume Start() is executed at first regardless if the player has loaded or not.

[autumn oriole]

maybe onplayerjoin?

use OnPlayerJoined with checking player.islocal will be fine. In my experience it was quite reliable. It fires just after screen turns on

[scarlet lake]

So I have question so how do people make these realistic worlds quest and pc because I’ve been trying to do post processing and it only ones on pc any ideas on it

[scarlet lake]

All the quest+pc supported worlds I've been to have post-processing disabled for quest.

So post processing does work quest but I wasn’t for sure on it you know

[scarlet lake]

What's the better alternative for OnPickupUseUp? I was planning on using it but the documentation says it's deprecated.
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/onpickupuseup

[elder peak]

post processing does not work on quest

[elder peak]

that refers to sdk 2, you can use it in udon just fine

[scarlet lake]

I see, thanks!

[scarlet lake]

Trying to assign a string value to a text object's text field but I'm having a hard time finding the right nodes for it. Would appreciate some help!!

[indigo finch]

first, instead of using a gameobject variable, you will want a text variable instead. Then you want to plug that text variable into a UIText.set text node

[supple root]

Could somebody please check out my post on VRChat forums about NavMeshAgent problem im having:
https://ask.vrchat.com/t/wander-ai-in-udon-graph-need-help/8860

[scarlet lake]

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try :)

[maiden sundial]

Thank you so much 💙

[wind atlas]

The error screenshot is cut off and you can't see the actual error message. Most common one is missing references, so check if you have the agent set in the inspector.

[wheat dirge]

any ideas as to why i am getting this error when trying to build my scene, i am not using any udonsharp in the scene but do have the package installed

[loud bridge]

Check Unity's output log window. Every time I've seen that popup, the log has more details.

[wheat dirge]

USharpVideoPlayer' does not contain a definition for 'RegisterCallbackReceiver'

could this be to do with an outdated package, it was working fine for me until a few days ago

[loud bridge]

That is a bit outside my area, unfortunately, but updating your packages to latest stable is rarely a bad idea.

[shut arch]

I'm still having a bit of difficulty with VRCpickup radius vs simple interactables. Even after reducing the Proximity parameter on the pickups, the nearby button always seems to have a lower priority than the pickups... there can't be any pickups near the button or else you simply can't highlight the button in VR.

[scarlet lake]

iv got a simple little question here

iv got this wine glass, it has pick up on it, it works fine, except for the fact that the liquid stays floating in the air

i applied the scripts to the parent

but it doesn't effect the children

how can i fix this?

[unborn hornet]

waiting
Also there is no way to dynamically construct a VRCUrl during runtime. The only way to get a vrcurl is from the VRCUrlInputField by calling GetUrl (explicitly input by user), or by having a public variable in the inspector (explicitly input by world creator).

[mild ledge]

Hey, any ideas on how to add audio filters on the AVPro Video Player? I need low-pass in some regions

[indigo finch]

You wouldn't happen to have made them static would you?

[scarlet lake]

Most likely

And hello @indigo finch didn't think I'd see you xD usually our talks are on your YouTube comment section

[indigo finch]

Hello! ^^

[scarlet lake]

@indigo finch may i send a friend request?

[indigo finch]

Sure, though I prefer udon questions to be asked here

[scarlet lake]

I understand

mainly just want some form of contact

[snow arrow]

I keep seeing this pop up and I'm curious as to what is going on. Things are still working

Seems to be an editor issue.

Is there a way to stop url fields from clearing text on desktop when you click into them?

I made an autofill feature for like a clickable list, but when you click in on desktop it clears. Works fine on vr

[crude grove]

am I dumb or is anyone else having issues with udon sharp not wanting to work with unity?

[shrewd lion]

nah im compiling just fine

[scarlet lake]

that fixed it btw

[twin hedge]

How do I make fade in/out while teleporting a player?

Like, when a player clicks on an object that teleports them to another place. The screen would fade in, then fade out and they are at a different place.

[snow arrow]

Nevermind. That crash is from shutting down the game. My fault

[velvet star]

You could try adding a full screen black image on a UI canvas (Screen Space) and animate it fading in & out. Then trigger the animation through Udon Noodles/Code.
If using UdonSharp:
Animator.ResetTrigger("FadeInOut"); Animator.SetTrigger("FadeInOut");
or
Animator.SetBool("FadeInOut", false); Animator.SetBool("FadeInOut", true);

Just make sure to delay the teleport to happen midway through the animation (when it's completely black)

[wind atlas]

Screen space won't work in VR though. Instead, you need some kind of mesh in front of the face, but you'd do it pretty much the same as you described, except with a transparent material.

[wind atlas]

I'd recommend downloading this: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/obstacle-course

It has a mesh with some code for vignette that can be use as transition. This way, you don't even need to figure out the correct distances yourself.

[twin hedge]

Ok thank you

[twin hedge]

Thank you. I’ll check it out

[versed hazel]

so i have two event statuses onpickup and on drop and it plays a different animation depending on that event. its sent as a custom network event so everyone can see it. but now i want to make it so late comers see the current event active via the master however i can't find how to call current status of an event or what i need to call in order to use on player joined get master and make a bool to run the event if it is active. I hope i'm explaining this right. I know how to do it with an object but not with an animation.

here is the base outline of my custom event if that helps

both drop and pickup have the same setup

it is to note there will be multiples of this object as well

[indigo finch]

1. you can make the int a synced variable and then use an on int changed node, and set it so that whenever the int changes, it updates the animator int value
   2)whenever the event 'onplayerjoined' is called, check if we are the owner of the object, and if you are the owner, tell everyone the current state of the int

first one is more reliable, as it accounts for other scenarios (like a quest user taking off their headset and it going to sleep while events are being called), but you also don't want too many synced variables

[shut flower]

how i can instantiate object with udon sharp scripts and access for example Text reference in that? seems like its null while instantiated object dont have even null objects

[scarlet lake]

I am so done with unity. I set up a bunch of teleports right. the graph is gucci everything is gucci.. the code worked perfectly fine... i decide to retest my map..and all of a sudden the teleports dont work.

i dont see anything wrong with the script
there is a set target to teleport the player to.. so why the *** does it not teleport the player
a trigger is set everything is set
like i said it worked perfectly fine.. and then it just stopped working after a build or two

[hollow barn]

And the trigger must be enabled on the collider

[scarlet lake]

will try

[hollow barn]

Or even that's how it should work.

[scarlet lake]

but then why does it work the first couple times and then suddenly poof

[indigo finch]

This should work. Given that this happened after a build, I would double check that it is still set inside the inspector. Unity sometimes 'forgets' when things change

[indigo finch]

wait... where is the networking.get local player node? this should be plug into the instance slot

otherwise the code doesn't know who to teleport

[scarlet lake]

right

thanks i plugged them all

life saviors

thanks guys

[scarlet lake]

I need ur urgent help

So i made an Audio Area trigger.. that plays everytime someone walks into it.. but the moment more players walk into it it plays from scratch

script is like this

@indigo finch??

anyway i can make it only play for the player who is in the trigger area and not play for the others

[wheat dirge]

i am... 'UdonSharpBuildCompile' something with this stops me from building my scene

[stark adder]

So this is more of a question for somone from VRC Dev team.. SwitchAvatar seems to according to SDK send RPC to everyone. That Refreshes Avatar ? Does Refresh mean just load a new avi if there is any in blueprintId ? Or does everyone in instance get the same id as the RPC sender ?

[loud bridge]

You need to check whether it's already playing and then only call Play when it's not.

[scarlet lake]

The issue is that it starts playing for everyone

[loud bridge]

Oh, it should only be local? Then you need to check that the player parameter of your events is the local player. Those fire for all players.

[scarlet lake]

How do i make it local

<- udon noob

[loud bridge]

The trigger functions pass you a VRCPlayerApi object. You need to check whether it's the same one as Networking.getLocalPlayer()

[scarlet lake]

uhhhh

[loud bridge]

You need a Branch node to branch the execution depending on the result, and you need a VRCPlayerApi.equality operator to get the result of the equality check. I recommend reading up here (https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon) to pick up the basics.

[celest egret]

hello, any idea in how can i test midi inputs in udon?

[scarlet lake]

real helpful ... felt like a middle finger to go do it myself..

[mighty fjord]

They mean that you need to add the VRCPlayerApi.equality node to your graph, so that you can compare the local player against the player entering or exiting the trigger. So if it is the local player, then the output is true, which means you can use the branch node to do something once it is, otherwise the check will be false, and thus you'd just not hook anything up from the false output from the branch node.

[versed hazel]

does the first one account for late joiners? i'm reviewing the coin animation one you had my setup is a bit different so no sure 100% if it'll work the same. Also you had stated at that time you were accounting for a few not if there are many and i'm putting multiple of these objects in so just looking to cover my bases.

[mighty fjord]

However, I do believe there already is a VRCPlayerApi.isLocal node which also gives you a true or false, depending on if it is you or not, but either method works.
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/players

[scarlet lake]

i cant find the node

[mighty fjord]

Are you looking under the VRCPlayerApi category?

[scarlet lake]

nothing shows up

when i type that in

all i get is playerAPI

shouldnt this work

[versed hazel]

if you drag a noodle from the vrcplayer.api it'll bring up a list to select

[scarlet lake]

yeah now its showing

[versed hazel]

Everyone here I just want to thank you so much for volunteering your time and your knowledge to help us beginners out. I know you've all spent time learning this and we appreciate you so much for helping us find the information and guiding us in the right direction. ❤️

[left topaz]

Does anyone know what is wrong I have 2019.4.31f1 I have a unity and I am trying to install the SDK but it’s giving me an error

[scarlet lake]

i give up

making my map singleplayer im done

[mighty fjord]

Did you get it working?

[scarlet lake]

no

it stopped playing sound all together

the script i used is above

[mighty fjord]

You should use the OnPlayerTriggerEnter and Exit instead though

[indigo finch]

The first one 100% accounts for latecomers, it just that its also a synced variable.
As for my video, I didn't really word it quite right. If you were looking at over 500 collectable coins for a points system, it starts to get problematic. I was working on a pillow Fort Building world, and found that 1000 synced variables (even on manual sync not doing anything) cause massive problems with lag and players ability to jump. If your less than 200 with what your doing, you'll be fine

[versed hazel]

ok awesome and i think i get what you're getting at with that to and how i might put it in. i'll test and see if it works how i'm thinking it needs to be set thanks for the help. i did find when placing the network to owner and not all it didn't send to everyone only local so i'll see if it still does that with these changes. it may have been a fluke too.

[indigo finch]

If you need an example of how to do it via a synced variable, check out some of my other tutorials. I've done it a few times.. on my skybox changer to name one

[versed hazel]

ok awesome i was meaning to check that one out anyway so good to know i can use some of the info from it now.

[versed hazel]

ok that was interesting so I set it to on int change as shown in the coin video and upon first pickup it will play the animation however if i drop it and pick it back up it wont play the animation again. it does if its a direct event from on pickup event and will do it over and over but wont sync with late joiners. this way seems it might but hard to tell since i have to let go to test with two clients should sync but wont play the animation if picked up again. which is what i want it to do is play the animation on every pickup but sync with late joiners so it shows current status of whoever is holding it the animation is playing. might have to go the on player join route the second one but not sure how to go about that exactly. unless you have another idea with the 1st option.

[indigo finch]

From the sounds of it, I don't think you've made your int synced.
Go to the variables tab, hit the little dropdown menu on your int and make it a synced variable

[versed hazel]

it says synced smooth none default 0

synced is checked

[indigo finch]

Hmmm... Mind sharing your code? (Windows key + shift + s to screenshot only part of screen)

[versed hazel]

just want the graph or the code from the ok drop?

[indigo finch]

okay, so this will only work once, as you are seeing. you only want one bool, and make that bool true to turn on, and false to turn off. then from the one bool change event, do a branch node, so if it's true, change int to one value, and if it's false, change it to another value

[vestal mist]

Who knows how to use Anim-Mesh GPU Particle Shader and VRC Animation GPU Instancing

im trying to figure this out but im hitting a road block

[versed hazel]

will both drop and pickup need this or just the pickup part

[indigo finch]

this kinda thing:

[versed hazel]

ok awesome i was thinking the same thing but was second guessing myself. lol. hate when that happens.

ok here goes something

[south compass]

Am try to do news show for world however I'd love to know is it possible to have tablet in game that shows a website? Like Google doc.

[loud bridge]

How do I do an IsValid check in UdonSharp? I tried Utilities.IsValid(), but that just gave me "System.Exception: Unknown type/field/parameter/method 'IsValid'". Is there another one somewhere that I'm missing?

[twin hedge]

How do I add captions/subtitles? When a player enters the room, I want an objective to show up on the screen. How do I do that?

[pallid roost]

Not directly, you could stream a desktop to it through something like twitch or VRCDN and display that as a video, or just have an image on there.

[loud bridge]

You'd need to put it on a Text component on a world-space Canvas that's attached to the user's head.

[versed hazel]

ok well getting closer. so this setup does the same thing as my first setup just with i guess extra nodes lol. it still doesn't sync when player joins. if i'm holding it and the player joins the object only shows the default animation not the pickup animation. it will however start showing it again if i drop it and pick it back up just not what the current state is upon entry. so at square one again.

i've already attempted to so sync variables and keep it to owner not all but didnt' change anything. i'll keep playing with it. might be able to do an on player join from this bool though so we'll see. i'll test it out see if it works let ya know

[red gazelle]

Is it possible to set the Interaction Text of an Udon controlled interactable with editor code?

[red gazelle]

Apparently it was made possible in VRChat 2021.4.2 but I'm failing to figure it out still

UdonBehaviour Interact text has been exposed to Udon via Set InteractionText and other methods

Specifically in U#, is this not possible?

[red gazelle]

ah, figured it out

                    obj.AddUdonSharpComponent<Tanuki.TanukiTeleporter>();
                    UdonBehaviour objBeh = obj.GetComponent<UdonBehaviour>();
                    objBeh.InteractionText = " p nus";
``` in case anyone else cares

Hi @drifting sage
As a world creator, if we created an area that could only be accessed via an automated secure validation process where someone is verified as being 18+, would this violate terms of service?

What does udon stand for

[grand temple]

?whatisudon

[hidden marten]

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

[scarlet lake]

I'm trying to make an udon graph which allows someone to zoom in/out a camera using the right joystick, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone able to point out what the problem is with my graph?

[scarlet lake]

Can udon graph call methods from udon# scripts?

[topaz jetty]

yes, but they can't pass arguments

if you have to pass arguments you could do a workaround like making a udon# script with a single method that calls the udon# script and pass the correct arguments, then you call your own udon# script from your udon graph

[scarlet lake]

Gotcha, how should I go about doing it if I don't need to pass arguments?

[topaz jetty]

just use the SendCusomEvent node with the method name

on that udon behaviour

[loud bridge]

The "focalLength" field of the Camera component only works if you have it set up in physical mode (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PhysicalCameras.html). Instead, you probably want to adjust the Field Of View field.

[placid stratus]

How would I make coding for a door keypad?

[loud bridge]

At a high level: You'd store a predefined string for the target code and an empty string for the current code. When a user presses one of the buttons, it appends that button's character to the current code string.
If the strings end up matching, the door opens. If the current code is as long as the target code but doesn't match, it'd deny. Either way, it should clear the current code to reset itself.

[placid stratus]

[hollow smelt]

so i was a bit lazy and i created a head using avatarSDK but now that its all imported into unity the hair looks so bad (in blender it looks good)

how do i fix this?

[loud bridge]

Could be a lot of things, but the most likely is just that the material is set to opaque instead of transparent.

[hollow smelt]

yeh i did set it to opaque cuz when i set it to transparent the whole thing is gone

[loud bridge]

Well, you don't want all of it set to transparent, just the hair material.

Otherwise you end up with depth issues as you see.

[hollow smelt]

yeh i can tell haha

[scarlet lake]

My camera is physical. Is that not recommended in Vrchat?

[scarlet lake]

[mossy crane]

Random question on some optimization for a world that uses many duplicated skinned mesh renderers, anyone find a good way(even if difficult) to try and batch or reduce the impact?

[loud bridge]

I honestly have no idea. I'd think the cameras would be driven by the avatars, though. My expertise is more Unity than VRChat/Udon.

[loud bridge]

Yes, there are many videos and tutorials online about how to do that for unity, but most of them are done in the vertex shader, so you need to know shader programming to implement.

This one looks decent: https://medium.com/chenjd-xyz/how-to-render-10-000-animated-characters-with-20-draw-calls-in-unity-e30a3036349a

[scarlet lake]

I’m making a world and I has audio buttons how do you make them public so everyone can hear them

[shut arch]

look up tutorials on network synced custom events. basically you need a custom networked event that tells the local client to play the audio clip, and pressing the button will fire that custom event

[shut flower]

I created a blendtree with thresholds corresponding to the maximum velocity I've set for the agent

then I inserted the animator into the udon graph and created this setup (the animation parameter's name is move)

However, it seems to not work in-game, as the animation stays on the idle and never blends into the walk

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what exactly is going wrong here

any ideas?

[indigo finch]

when does this node get called? There's nothing going into the arrow slot, so it will never run

[faint fiber]

oh my god I can't believe I forgot that LMAO

[random gorge]

Can you get the open beta on quest 2?

[faint fiber]

Upon adding and connecting the update node, it still doesn't seem to work

Wait wait I reloaded the project accidentally and it randomly started working

funny how that works

[rich jacinth]

Anyone got any tips on how to get the mesh renderer of a newly spawned object? I can't seem to find a node that can get a mesh renderer from an object instance

[lost dragon]

Is this sorta like trying to figure out source spaghetti?

[snow creek]

Does anyone have a prefab for footstep sounds or does anyone know how to make it in Udon?

[scarlet lake]

I plan to use the SendCustomEvent to run a function on a separate udon behaviour. What should the eventName input be? I tried making a string variable with the function name "PlayRandom" and "PlayRandom()" but they don't work.

[mighty quiver]

Networking.LocalPlayer

[indigo finch]

the event is a private event, so other scripts cant see it. instead of void PlayRandom() you want public void PlayRandom() instead

[hoary gyro]

how can i make it so when a pickup collides with sufficient velocity, it produces particles and plays an audio clip

to be exact, i want a sword that would spark and make a clanking sound when i hit it against another sword or the environment

preferably id want it to be like "if it collides with an object that is on this specific layer, do the effects, otherwise dont"

but im very new to udon and i have no idea where to begin

[loud bridge]

Could it be a framerate thing? VR usually runs at a much higher rate.

[mighty quiver]

my index runs at 120fps

i could try capping desktop mode at 120

[mighty quiver]

jesus it actually is framerate depending lmao

now finding a way to cap framerate via udon would be nice

or finding the ratio between FPS and boost

[loud bridge]

Are your velocity changes in Update? If so, try moving them to FixedUpdate and see if that makes a difference.

[mighty quiver]

no, the SetVelocity is in a sub method of OnPickupUseDown()

maybe its because i calculate the velocity with
float fSpeed = varSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
with varSpeed being the power?

[loud bridge]

Yeah, if you're using it in a single-fire event instead of every-frame update, get rid of the Time.deltaTime.

[mighty quiver]

gonna try without the deltaTime real quick

[loud bridge]

You're probably gonna want to multiply by like 0.05f or something or else your velocity will be extremely fast.

[mighty quiver]

i just noticed lmao

[loud bridge]

lol

[mighty quiver]

gonna try 1500f --> 1f now

[loud bridge]

You should be able to use GameObject.GetComponent(Type)

[mighty quiver]

wait, i just noticed Time.fixedTimeDelta is a thing too ._.

[loud bridge]

You still don't need it when you're changing velocity as an impulse in reaction to an event.

Only use those when you're applying incremental change in Update/FixedUpdate

[mighty quiver]

even with 1f it was waaaay too much

[loud bridge]

Really? Average human walking speed should be around 1.2-1.5

[mighty quiver]

gonna experiment with fixedDeltaTime around a bit. if it still does not fix it, imma try your idea a bit more

yep, fixedDeltaTime fixed my issue

thanks for your help ^^

[wind atlas]

If you are truly new, I'd recommend building it step by step. I know I'm a hypocrite and regularly start out with the full thing, but doing it incrementally would make it way easier and probably faster to learn long term.
First, you could make a pickup in general. Just a sword that can be grabbed and swung around in VR.
Then, find out how the OnCollisionEnter method works. Find out how to play VFX and SFX in code and do so in that method.
Lastly, you'd probably cache the previous positions and the do some math to calculate the velocity based on them (other option is to use the rigidbody, but I don't think you can use that while the pickup is held). Once you have the velocity, simply test it against a specific value and only play the effects if it's true.

[hoary gyro]

i mean, i have been building worlds since like 2018 (back then i used the trigger system(?) i think it was called) and i know how to make pickups and stuff, i already have a sword with physics and trails and whatnot, i just really dont know udon

"OnCollisionEnter"? so youre telling me it works the exact same way as it does in c#?

[wind atlas]

Great, the next step then is to read this: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/player-collisions

[hoary gyro]

ah thank you

[wind atlas]

Yep, udon pretty much has most of the API for regular unity.

[hoary gyro]

im just confused because its nodes instead of code and i never really used nodes before (except for shaders and stuff but thats different)

i know that there is a code based version of udon too but i wanna learn the nodes, it seems more convenient long term

but yeah, thank you a lot

[wind atlas]

If you want to make bigger systems, especially if you want to have a lot of reuse, then U# is way more convenient imo.

[hoary gyro]

ill see

[wind atlas]

But if you are comfortable with C#, then both the graph and U# will make sense for you. There are some small things that you just have to know, so try asking people here if you get stuck with weird behavior.

[hoary gyro]

alright, nice to know

[loud bridge]

Yeah, coming from experience with C# and Unity, UdonSharp is definitely the way to go. There are a few quirks, but it mostly just works.

[scarlet lake]

why do world heats rest

[scarlet lake]

It rest when there was a lot people in it

It had like 6 heats or 5

[tacit folio]

Hey all!
I was hoping to use Human Pose Handler to mirror avatar poses

This setup doesn't seem to be working and Unity documentation is not really helping. Does anyone have any advice on how to use HumanPoses? I just want to mirror a players pose onto a NPC humanoid skeleton

[vestal mist]

Anyone have a Permission Script?

[leaden bloom]

Hey
Does someone know how to setup an Avatar pedestral without the floating image? Putting an object into the "Placement" breaks it

[slim hound]

#world-development message

[mighty fjord]

Could just scale it to 0,0,0

[leaden bloom]

Thanks for the script, it works 🙂

[slim hound]

Wouldn't you then need to create a separate game object/udon behavior just to use the pedestal?

The one I referenced is a replacement for the default pedestal script

[mighty fjord]

Yeah, if you want to be able to interact directly, but I had another udon script doing the interaction and I was just lazy, so I did just that x)

[leaden bloom]

But scaling it to 0,0,0 would make the pedestral disappear right? So how can you still see the pedestral without the image?

[mighty fjord]

You won't

That's what superstingray just mentioned

You need some way to interact with it

[leaden bloom]

Yeah i also came to the idea for a remote trigger thing, but i am new to udon and have barely an idea how to set it up

[empty mantle]

How do i make a material toggle?

[high mural]

How can I attach a gameObject or Canvas to a player's hand?

[scarlet lake]

im trying to upload one of my avatars my friend made for me, and it is showing me this, how do i fix it?

[mossy crane]

https://vrchat.com/home/download need to log in and get the official VRChat Avatars package for Unity and load it into your project, then you should be able to login in Unity and Upload. You also need to make sure you have the exact Unity version of "Unity 2019.4.31f1"

[scarlet lake]

yeah i did all of that, and i have that exact version, its still not working

my trust rank on vrchat is highest so i can upload avatars, it just wont let me

[mossy crane]

this is all good as well?

[scarlet lake]

yeah

lets text in discord message so we dont annoy people

[hot latch]

Hello, I am trying to define the camera depth of two different cameras in Udon at the start, but it doesn't seem to be doing what it should... could somebody explain me what I am doing wrong?

[shut ermine]

are there any gun prefabs for roleplay?

[scarlet lake]

is there any reason to why interact on object is visible/working only when it has mesh collider too?

[vernal sapphire]

Is there anything in udon to define a user by avi performance?

[indigo finch]

interact requires there to be a collider, of any kind (box, sphere, mesh, etc), in order for it to work. This is because the hand fires a raycast outwards, and it needs to hit something to detect an object. If you want the interact to work, but don't want players to be able to collide with it, either change it's layer to be walkthrough, or checkmark the is trigger on the collider itself.

[ember owl]

Anyone know who to take a body (base) and a head and making it into one model?

[indigo finch]

This is probably better to ask in one of the avatar channels

[ember owl]

Ahh sorry

[indigo finch]

np

[scarlet lake]

where do i can find walkthrough? ps. i started today (worlds)

and thanks in advance (is trigger worked)

[heavy pawn]

What is udon

[indigo finch]

?whatisudon

[hidden marten]

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

[indigo finch]

With an object selected, go to the top right of the inspector and you will see a dropdown for layers. There you can change what layer an object is on. walkthrough is one of those layers

[scarlet lake]

oh thanks a lot

[scarlet lake]

is there a way to have a sharing variable between 2 udon graph? (or even more graphs)

[pastel yew]

Super quick question;
How would you display the contents of a variable or string in a text UI component in Udon graph?
Is there a node for that?

[scarlet lake]

if i understand correctly you want the variable to write to object which has text right?
then you have to make a variable text type or something pubblic and assign to it the object which contains text
then drag&drop text variable and link to set text and the string you want with probably Format something

[indigo finch]

no, but you can reference a variable from another script, and you can change your variable on your own script to be the same
https://youtu.be/n7Y4Bn1UZ2w

[scarlet lake]

i think i got it thanks anyway ❤️

[indigo finch]

You can create a UiText variable, and then change it's text to equal a string value. Most variables have a to string node to convert it to a string

[scarlet lake]

i think this graph summarize everything

how do i remove groups?

[indigo finch]

select it. hit delete.

[scarlet lake]

it deletes everything inside too

[indigo finch]

you will want to select everything in it and right-click, remove from group though

[scarlet lake]

oh yes thanks

is it possible that the same graph that worked before, now it doesn't work, the interact stopped work for some reason?

[indigo finch]

you'll have to post the current script. though it's most likely that the values aren't filled in in the inspector

[indigo finch]

you don't have a collider...

[scarlet lake]

where?

because it worked before without collider

as you said by putting walkthrough layer

now it stopped for some reason

[indigo finch]

nope. you still need a collider, but you can stop players from colliding with it by changing its layer to the walkthough layer

[scarlet lake]

ah okay

i thought i was able to remove it completely. now i got it

then when i removed collider and it worked it was pure luck?

[indigo finch]

luck isn't really a thing here. you probably miss-remembered, or the settings weren't saved

[scarlet lake]

sorry if i ask a lot but i'm new

do know what convex mean in collider?

it change a bit the mesh or it looks like that

[indigo finch]

concave means that there is a part that goes inwards. if the object isn't set to static, its mesh collider cant be concave

[scarlet lake]

mm ok it doesn't change much after lot right?

convex not set

convex set

on line desappear

on mesh collider

[indigo finch]

It's not really relavant to your use case here and doesn't really change anything. if you had a more complicated model, then it would actually do something

[scarlet lake]

ah okay thanks

what's the difference between OnPlayerTriggerEnter and OnPlayerCollisionEnter?

[pastel yew]

So I have this kinda thing going on, so it receives an custom event from other scripts, and should display the appropriate thing. Is that right?

[pastel yew]

What's the Format node used for?

[scarlet lake]

to combine variable or data to text

[pastel yew]

Is it needed for a string? The Set text node has a string input.

[scarlet lake]

Hello {}! (where {} replaced by variable)

[indigo finch]

OnPlayerTriggerEnter is if the collider with 'is trigger' is set to true

[scarlet lake]

format need only when you want to combine variable and text or multiple variable/text, you can also put just text or converted variable toString i think

[indigo finch]

or you can also use string.addition, though format is cleaner

[pastel yew]

So I just have 2 cubes as buttons, each with a IsTrigger collider, and this on them:

That should send "SendHello" to "ScriptToReceive" which is currently on a UiCanvas...

"ScriptToReceive" has this on it, but it doesn't seem to wanna do anything. 🤔

[indigo finch]

There's too many things that could be wrong. Nothing here jumps out to me as being wrong, so double check that all the variables are filled out on the objects themselves.
Once you've confirmed that, I would start adding some debug.log nodes around, to see where exactly it is failing. you can view console messages in-game, but opening up debug mode with:

[pastel yew]

Hmm. How does "Set text" know which ui text object to update if there were multiple?

I need to reference it somewhere...

[indigo finch]

do you have multiple UiText components on the one gameobject, or are your trying to change the text of multiple UiTexts?

[pastel yew]

Currently just the one... but I'm wondering if it's not updating because there's nothing telling it to update that one.

[indigo finch]

You need to make the the uiText Variable a public variable, so you can say what text you want it to update

[scarlet lake]

to enable log in vrchat is right shift + ' + 3?

because i have problem to make it work xd

[indigo finch]

not ' but instead that weird key below the esc that I can never remember the name of

the one that does this on discord

[scarlet lake]

oh yes it worked

thanks

[pastel yew]

Ahah, I got it! I hadn't referenced the canvas in the buttons - they were referencing themselves~ XD
Learning has occurred - Thank you~ ¦D

[indigo finch]

^^

[pastel yew]

Got so focused on the udon that I forgot about the objects themselves. ¦B

[scarlet lake]

how to log?

it says message but i can't write it in

[pastel yew]

One of these, I think?

[indigo finch]

you need to put something into the value slot. simply go create node string.const

yea that

[scarlet lake]

oh i see

another thing i didn't understand is how i get Get ActiveSelf to ask if it active in node search

[indigo finch]

gameobject. activeself

[scarlet lake]

ohh

thanks a lot

[pastel yew]

How do you actually scroll the debug window? It has scrollbars~ XD

[indigo finch]

open up your menu

[pastel yew]

Ahhhh~ ¦D

[scarlet lake]

for some reason i don't see my logs in game

for confirmation is this the correct window right?

[pastel yew]

Yus.

[scarlet lake]

oh i have to insert it at the end

otherwise it doesn't show

[scarlet lake]

when variable has to be synced?

[pastel yew]

What's the event node used for sliders? Is there like, an OnChanged event?

... or is it an Interact event?
Presuming it isn't an Update event, it doesn't need to be sending its value ALL the time.

[mighty fjord]

Interactable UI can send custom events to Udon Behaviours once their values change

[pastel yew]

Ah, so just an Interact Event then?

[mighty fjord]

I would suggest doing a custom event node instead

[pastel yew]

So nothing into that at all?

VoiceSettings will do a get value when it receives the custom event... I just thought that the slider itself would need to send it when it was changed.

[wind atlas]

I'm a bit confused about what you are trying to do. Do you just want to detect when a user fiddles with your slider? Then you need to open the slider component and register a callback to a custom event on your udon there.

[pastel yew]

I'd like a slider to send it's new value when it changes to another script. In this case, to change the voice falloff.

[wind atlas]

Well yeah, that's what meant. When a user changes the value on the slider component, the callback will be called.

[mighty fjord]

No I meant a custom event reciever, so that you can send the custom event from the UI

[wind atlas]

Or maybe you meant sending the value directly. That's not really possible. You just take the value from the slider once the callback was called.

[pastel yew]

So, currently I have this (sitting on VRCWorld as a convenient place)...

VoiceFallOffSlider will be the slider itself...

And on the slider itself;

VoiceSettings being VRCWorld.

So does changing the slider fire that custom event to make VRCWorld grab the slider value then?

[mighty fjord]

You need to go to the slider, add an event to the event list and slide in the reference to the game object with the Udon Behaviour on it, once you've done that you can tell the UI to call the SendCustomEvent method on the Udon Behaviour, and there you can enter the string for the event name

[pastel yew]

I suppose I could just set the falloff on the slider itself, rather than sending it to another script actually... 🤔

[wind atlas]

Pretty sure the only other way to do it is in an update loop, which isn't great. So you pretty much have to use the slider callback.

[pastel yew]

So now I just have this on the slider. But now I'm back to my original question; I assume I need to put an event in there to make it update?

[wind atlas]

We are talking about this:

[pastel yew]

Like... with a button, you use Event Interact, right? When it's clicked, it then kicks it off and does the thing...

[pastel yew]

I've dropped the Custom Event thing now... there's no need to send it... the slider itself can just set it.

[scarlet lake]

Ppcffft

[mighty fjord]

Just make sure that the UI event is actually whitelisted, otherwise it'll be removed when you play the scene

[pastel yew]

How would I do that?

[mighty fjord]

Just play the scene, there'll be a warning in your log if it was removed

[pastel yew]

I'm more confused than before now... but I'll keep playing with it. XD

[pastel yew]

I'm guessing that's a no... 🤔

[loud bridge]

Got an odd one here. Trying to figure out which hand the player is holding something in, but I keep getting NullReferenceExceptions thrown on objects that I've checked are valid...

[slow rock]

any idea what this is?? =,= The type or namespace name 'IsValid' does not exist in the namespace 'Utilities' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

compatibility issues with another script?

[scarlet lake]

anyone know where i can get a avatar that looks like this or anyone has plz ?

[indigo finch]

would recommend asking in the 'avatar-search' channel instead

[scarlet lake]

Alright

[pearl tiger]

Am I understanding this right, so it's telling you that your player variable is null when you try and call .GetPickupInHand ?

[loud bridge]

After I've already called IsValid on that player object (which does a null check)

[loud bridge]

Just ran into that the other day. Check if you have "using System.Linq;" at the top of your code file and remove it if so. Alternately, you can fully-qualify the Utilities class whenever you invoke it and that seems to resolve it too.

[river plover]

Hi, I am trying to toggle the active state of several udonBehaviors, so I go to my variable window and insert "UdonBehavior[]", and when I selected it, the green button on the top right corner turned into a red exclamation mark, and Udon assembly said "Type referenced by VRCUdonBehaviorArray could not be resolved", why this is happening ? and how to solve it ?

[scarlet lake]

where do i get transparent mirrors

Is anyone in here familiar with Kurotori’s udon karts?

[scarlet lake]

nvm i found it

[mellow agate]

Hello there!
I've been messing with around with Udon for my WIP world, and I'm currently researching possibility of swapping previously baked lightmaps on Interact simultaneously with emission color.
This function seems to do the trick, however I wasn't able to look up how the indices are defined. Could someone enlighten?

[fierce verge]

I have this udon graph, using 2 buttons I can change 2 different animator values, but the objects of Lamps[] are the children of Trusses[], for some reason when I change the Anim value of the Trusses[] my Mode value of the Lamps[] go to 0???

[fierce verge]

so when I change the Anim value in the animator while testing it works

but something in the udon messes it up, making it reset the Mode and only changing the Anim

[scarlet lake]

is it true PVP worlds are going to disappear

[grand temple]

???

[fierce verge]

this not an udon question

[primal mantle]

what is

[primal mantle]

idk sorry tho

[fierce verge]

yeah the 8yo bother me asswell but yeh

ehrmm

probably in like #vrchat-general-1 or 2

[primal mantle]

ok

[vague osprey]

Can someone please explain to me why I'm getting the error that says, "object is not set to an instance of an object" in the Udongraph whenever I try to set up a door opening script?

[shut arch]

it means you have a (likely) public variable that's looking for a reference to something that you haven't filled out in the inspector.

so if your script is looking for a GameObject called "door", chances are you haven't chosen a door in the inspector

[vague osprey]

The error happens when I add the specific gameobject to the graph. To try and explain it. I have a script called, "RepairDoor" There is a gameobject in the project named that exactly, I go to add that exact gameobject to the graph though, and it throws out that error.

[indigo finch]

When you add a gameobject to the graph by dragging and dropping it in, it creates a public gameobject variable with the exact name of your object. It doesn't add that object to the graph. You still need to go to where the script is being used, and tell it what object you want to use.
Find where the script is being use, and once there, you should see a 'gameobject' slot for you to drag and drop your object into

[vague osprey]

I don't see a gameobject slot where the script is.

[shut arch]

you probably need to make your gameobject variable public in the udon graph

[vague osprey]

It's already public in the graph.

When I check to see if it's public, I see a message there that says, "Gameobject cannot be synced"

[shut arch]

if it's public in the graph, then show us the inspector. if you don't see the public variable there, then your script isn't compiling.

[vague osprey]

Here's the graph, and the inspector

[shut arch]

see that ! in the upper right? that means your script isn't compiling. likely because there's no event to trigger any sort of behavior.

[vague osprey]

Last time I tried connecting it to a trigger in the graph, it brought up the quick search menu whenever I tried to connect the door object in the graph to animator.

[shut arch]

yeah sorry i don't really get what you're saying

this script currently isn't doing anything at all, you could click on that red ! or check the console to see what udon's problem is but either way it's doing nothing other than proclaiming public GameObject RepairDoor;

[vague osprey]

I recreated the other issue related to that which I'm talking about. I set up an interact node, followed by a setbool node, I can connect the interact node to the setbool node easily. However whenever I try to connect the door node to setbool, this automatically pops up.

[shut arch]

Okay. The problem is that your RepairDoor is a GameObject. You're trying to run Animator.SetBool, which is a function of the Animator class, not the GameObject class.

You have two options: you can either create a public Animator class variable and wire that up in the inspector instead, or you can use GameObject.GetComponent<Animator>() to fetch that component from the connected GameObject

[broken bear]

The button presser has the Owner Interact log run, but the remote player the OnDeserialization log doesnt run, I have no idea why as it works for so many other things I have..

[mossy crane]

You need to set some synced variable for requesting, I often make a “dummyint” and set that to like 4 before request

[broken bear]

ah I see

[vague osprey]

I think I figured out what my issue is. I closed the project, opened it back up, and did this set up. Is this the correct way for me to do the animation trigger?

[mossy crane]

And just make sure dummy int is synced

Really not sure if that’s even intended but it usually works lol

[shut arch]

yeah, that looks correct from here

[vague osprey]

What happened was the tutorial I was following had dragged the animator into the scene, and the slightly grainy look for the video made me think that was the gameobject that you drag into the graph.

Will that sync the door's position for all players though, even for that join after the door was already opened?

[shut arch]

no. you'd have to sync that manually. there's videos on youtube that describe how to handle late joiner sync

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3VeBzV9HgI

[vague osprey]

Just tried to do that, but the box where you put the event name is greyed out to where you can't put any text there.

[nova yew]

Hey all! I'm trying to learn udonsharp and I'm getting this odd namespace issue in visual studio 2019 (16.11.10). Any ideas how I can sort it out? I'm definitely using the correct version of unity, as well as the lastest world sdk & udonsharp v0.20.3

Interestingly, script compiles and runs fine in the local build and test.

[nova yew]

I think I found the solution? I needed to save the .cs file in the same directory as the UdonSharpBehaviour.cs file.

[wind atlas]

Did you try Edit>Preferences>External Tools>Regenerate project ?

[wind atlas]

The combat system does kinda work. You can definitely make the ragdoll and respawn part of it work. The visual indicator seems a bit buggy for me though.

[nova yew]

Hi Puppet! I tried that, unfortunately didn't seem to do much.

[brazen epoch]

thank you for this info!

[hoary gyro]

how do i create a branching thing like this?

is there some sort of split node?

oh i an just

connect them in a line

nvm then

ok well uhh

now, how do i make it choose randomly between 3 sound effects

[shut arch]

you can ignore the delayed event stuff, that's just because i have sounds firing on a random timer

this is the important bit for you:

you need a public AudioClip[] variable, you'll put all your clips there in the Inspector. then you'll also need a public AudioSource to play from

[hoary gyro]

yeah yeah i got those

thanks

[brazen epoch]

How did you get your combat setup to work?

[hoary gyro]

it works, thank you

[brazen epoch]

Nvm. Seems like I have to call CombatSetup() before setting other properties

[mighty quiver]

is there ANY way to disallow Drop of an pickup once held?

[mighty quiver]

(if anyone knows, feel free to ping or even better DM me)

[brazen epoch]

I'm dealing with issues where my pickup udon scripts will just randomly crash effectively making my game world unplayable. Should I be wrapping expressions in try catch blocks? Or is there a logical explanation that I'd receive this error?

Edit: I read more of the output log and now see that actual Udon VM Exceptions are thrown and traced back my issue

[scarlet lake]

How do you teleport an entire room to a different area like murder mystery 4

[indigo finch]

https://youtu.be/ZcwdAgZywDQ

[scarlet lake]

Thanks

Small issue, I want there to be an outside area that doesn't get affected by the teleport

[indigo finch]

Have a another object with a trigger (big box/ sphere collider with 'is trigger' set to true), and have a script on it. on that script, do the event 'on player trigger enter', check if it's the local player, and if so, turn on a public bool (call it something like 'isPlaying'). Then you can also have 'on player trigger exit' to turn the bool off. Now you will know if the player is meant to be teleported or not.
Then when you go to teleport the player, get the teleport script to check if your bool on your trigger script is true or false, and only teleport them if it is.
Reference for doing the trigger: https://youtu.be/qpCWzGmfXKI
Reference for looking at another script's variable: https://youtu.be/HERcbs636Xo

[scarlet lake]

Thanks a bunch again!

[nova yew]

Just to close this - I re-created a whole new project in Unity, imported the vrcsdk+udon package and it just works now? I can drop in a new u# script anywhere in the asset tree and visual studio properly recognizes the namespace.

[river plover]

Question : This is what I have now, problem is the master can toggle it, but late joiners can't toggle it, how to fix it ?

[slow rock]

Having a teleport issue where it would teleport you to the Destination but not at the Exact point of entry.....its like it either spawn you right on the spot where your suppose to be on and then at random times.....teleports you around the transform .... so sometimes end up under the map

and this is what i got

on Entry ..... teleport and enable the next area ......and disable the previous location gameobject

[indigo finch]

How much velocity have you got when you teleport? It might just be that you need to reset your velocity on teleport

[zealous cedar]

Did you ever get a fix for this?

im having the same issue with a sword

[slow rock]

if so where do i put in from?

[indigo finch]

You can put a pkayerapi. Set velocity node either just before, or just after the teleport to node

[pallid roost]

What actually is networking.GetServerTimeInSeconds ?
I tried to use it, expecting a nice unix like timestamp

but its a negative number?

counting towards zero???

[fiery yoke]

Thats because it wraps around

Generally these methods are very opaque

and not generally recommended for use

[thorn folio]

Does anyone know how to adjust the hit force in the vrcbce prefab (billiards table)?

[shrewd kernel]

I made a world for pc and quest but it seems that there are problems now with the quest version, its not more in sync with the pc version. Yesterday when I uploaded the world everything was allright. Anyone else has also these problems?

[empty rain]

What’s up smart people! Can anyone help me figure out how to put a packaged animation on a game object? Do I have to use a controller or what? I’m so lost lol

[pallid roost]

That is .. strange ..

well, guess im just using a classic Datetime timestamp

[empty mantle]

Is there a prefab out there or a way to setup a speedline effect when reaching a high speed?

[brazen epoch]

I have a killbox set up on a gun. It's a child of a vrc pickup and has a rigidbody and collider on it so that collision with a normalized size capsule can be detected. While the killbox is active, the rigidbody drifts away from its original position. Is there a way to prevent such a thing from happening? Or should I instantiate new killboxes on each shot?

[maiden sundial]

How does one make sure the avatar has a specific bone? Like... to avoid any exceptions with null bones or a player disconnecting and an object was being tracked on your end to their head?

[empty rain]

Beep

[fading cipher]

IF a player is missing a bone and you try to get its position, it returns vector3.zero

So for all our "missing bone" checks, we just check to see if the bone's pos is Vector3.zero

[restive niche]

any1 knows how to fix this, i cant click any of it..

[grand temple]

are you in play mode?

[restive niche]

oh

OOHH

im stupid

[restive niche]

thank you

[scarlet lake]

ah wha is this?

[cold raft]

a mirror

#udon-showoff message

[scarlet lake]

I am newbie to vrchat and udon ... Is there a way to save inworld player session (like level, earnings etc.,) using udon or any other method ?

[scarlet lake]

Can someone tell me why my controllers are being weird? I just started using pc vr and it works pretty well but my controllers only go up so high and low, it kinda makes gameplay annoying because I can’t reach for a lot of things because my controllers are stuck at the middle position

[mint peak]

How long have you had your controllers

[high mural]

how can i attach a gameobject (or canvas) to a player? like to their hand

[indigo finch]

You cant 'attach' an object to a players hand, but you can set the objects transform. Set position and rotation to be the same as 'player api. Get tracking point (hand)` (it's written something like that... ), and give the position an offset from that

[high mural]

that's what i meant but i can't seem to find the correct syntax to get the hand position/rotation

[shut arch]

i don't have a code sample in front of me but i think VRCPlayerAPI.GetTrackingData()is looking for an enum as the argument, either LeftHand or RightHand (or Head)

i believe the enum is defined in VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType

[high mural]

close, but not quite...

perhaps this?

nope that doesn't seem to work

[wind atlas]

You have an underscore in the method, that's the wrong one.

[wind atlas]

Also, use an actual player instance of whom you want the tracking data of.

[high mural]

there isn't one without the underscore

[wind atlas]

You need a player instance

[wind atlas]

To be more specific, you need to call the right method on a player instance.

[high mural]

i think i got it now, thanks

[limpid umbra]

Does anyone know how to search for Udon behavior parts? I was given settings for the udon karts for both the wheels and the car itself. The settings for the wheels showed up in the inspector when I clicked on the wheels in the hierarchy but I can't get the settings for the car to show up in the inspector. I was told to search for udon behavior parts, whatever that means.

[manic yarrow]

@slim hound I'm using your moving platform hook in a world, but it doesn't seem to be working. The objects I'm trying to make rideable have non-convex mesh colliders on them and they're set to the environment layer, so I've followed the readme.

[slim hound]

How complex is the mesh?

and can you confirm that it works with a cube with a non-convex mesh collider to see if it's functioning at all

[manic yarrow]

I should point out that I'm using a U# script I wrote that uses movetowards

[slim hound]

In what update are you moving it

[manic yarrow]

Just Update(), and the cube doesn't work either by the way

[slim hound]

Then the system itself likely isn't functioning at all

[manic yarrow]

Hmm, not sure what would be interfering

[slim hound]

If you don't mind showing your setup or DMing me for this I'd be interested to resolve this

[limpid umbra]

Does anyone know coding that could help me with increasing acceleration in the udon kart script?

If so, dm me

[sterile lion]

I cannot find VRCworld spwan location. even though i click 'VRCworld' in hierarchy, nothing shows up. i want to change location! what is wrong!?

[past sapphire]

whats udon

[mint sandal]

Anyone aware of a statement/discussion on why dynamic content from the web can't be used with the exception of videos? Been looking around for something official and probably just missed it

[topaz jetty]

is there a way to detect when a udon script ran into an exception?

[limpid umbra]

Click on it in your hierarchy and then click on the move tool. You'll see it's arrows. The spawn is invisible

[high mural]

how can you tell when a player touches an object? like for push buttons?

[scarlet lake]

Does anyone know where to get a night time city skybox

[odd glade]

You can take a look at the unity asset store, there are plenty of free skyboxes available

[indigo finch]

thanx!!👍 👍

[near relic]

how could i make an object be able to be clicked multiple times and switch from int 0 to 2 and back to 0 again depending on each click?

[indigo finch]

If you want an int to add 1 each time its called, but reset to 0 it's beyond a certain value, do this:
myInt + 1 --> int.remainder (Max Value + 1) --> set myInt

[near relic]

oh wait, is this in udon sharp or graph?

[indigo finch]

udon graph, though kinda shown as udon# due to text. the dots represent the next menu

[near relic]

ohhh, do you know what specific nodes i'm looking for? sorry if this is repetitive. i'm still learning graph

thank you for your patience btw

[indigo finch]

you want your int variable to go into a int.addition node, with the bottom value set to 1.
Then below that you want your max value int variable to into an int.addition node also, with the bottom set to 1.
You then want to put both of those nodes into a int.remainder node
then put the resulting int into a set variable node

[near relic]

my int is coming from a parameter of another object

would it work if i set an int in the graph?

[indigo finch]

you will want to use udonbehaviour. get program variable to start with, and at the end you will want to use udonbehaviour. set program variable

though you may run into ownership problems if it's a synced variable

[near relic]

am i on the right track here?

[indigo finch]

not quite... I'm currently reinstalling windows so I can't give an exact example, but here is one from the vrchat example script 'ChangeMaterialOnEvent' that does it

though not from another script

[near relic]

hmmm. thank you

let me have al ook

hmm. do you mind if i DM you about this

[indigo finch]

oh, and the material[].get length node should be replaced with your 'max value' int variable

sure

[near relic]

thank you

[limpid umbra]

Would anyone know how to make a fueling system for udon karts where they will slowly run out of fuel until they don't move anymore or until they refuel?

[shut ermine]

quick thing, i have an udon prefab for climbing

do i just put it in the hierarchy and it works?

[limpid umbra]

Anyone know how I can get the steering wheel for udon karts to turn more than just 90 degrees to either side?

[hoary gyro]

how can i check for the force of a collision

alternatively, how can i check for the velocity of a rigidbody when the collision occurs OR the velocity of the thing the rigidbody collides with when the collision occurs
