So, I can just do it using regular ontrigger callbacks? But the thing is, does that only detect the local player? Are they separate? Do they use different layers...?

I need to go look at my old janky code for an automatic door...

it worked on all players and I forgot how I did it lol

[slim hound]

You could use one of the Physics.Overlap functions in that area and check for Player & PlayerLocal colliders

[sonic ermine]

oooh

[slim hound]

If the resulting collider count is 0 you will know there aren't players there

Alternatively you could also just run a distance check of all players from a point in that area

[sonic ermine]

That would be good... my idea is to set it up to set a flag "to be reset" for my city area when everyone is gone, and then it resets once at least one person is there.

And re-randomizes which objects are enabled. (Mostly I got variants of my NPCs appearing in different places, randomized. Makes the place feel more alive)

I think I also wanna use it to randomize which variation of a spooky sewer area....

Also, for PC, the 100 or so MB thing is just a polite suggestion, right? It's for a private world anyways. Lightmaps killing it at 350 mb lol.

[sonic ermine]

Thanks, I actually never used that function, is it in Unity's API itself, or Udon?

[slim hound]

It's a unity function

[sonic ermine]

wow and I never used it... X3

7 years of unity and i never knew about it

{
    bool playersPresent = false;

    public Vector3 size = Vector3.one;
    public LayerMask layers;
    public GameObject[] objects;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!checkForPlayers() && playersPresent)
        {
            playersPresent = false;

            foreach (GameObject g in objects)
                g.SetActive(false);
        }
        else if(checkForPlayers() && !playersPresent)
        {
            playersPresent = true;

            foreach (GameObject g in objects)
                g.SetActive(true);
        }
    }

    bool checkForPlayers()
    {
        Collider[] cols = Physics.OverlapBox(transform.position, size, transform.rotation, layers);

        if (cols.Length == 0)
            return false;

        return true;
    }
}```

Hope this works. X3

[indigo finch]

Seems like you have a working solution, but I'll post this anyways. Here's a script for keeping track of playerID's inside a trigger. You could just get the array's length, but this script is doing a bit more than it sounds like your after; but hey, it might be useful either way. Also, while the script does account for player's respawning and those leaving the world, it doesn't account for player's being teleported into a room

[sonic ermine]

oooh, thank you.

let's see if they fixed the local test feature yet >.>

[torn pendant]

Somebody help with this erroes

vrc team or whoever

[orchid stag]

Sounds like you've got two of the same script. Try searching the Asset folder for 'EditorCoroutine'

[jaunty schooner]

How do you make objects float instead of being affected by gravity now? Do I just remove the rigidbody after adding a collider and the empty udon script to make it sync?

Hm... It seems I forgot I also need the VRC Pickup script and setting a rigidbody to IsKinematic will disable gravity though I'm not sure if the rigidbody is needed.

[trail palm]

im trying to add a system that when players get close to a certain object, it plays a sound, but i want that sound to be heared by everyone and also want a different sound playing for certain people so it kinda needs to check the username of the player that activates that even. it also should only play once for a few seconds so that if 5 players come too close at once, it doesnt play 5 times.
i have no idea how i should approach this

anyone has a clue ?

[jaunty schooner]

Check these out. This is how I made the floppy drive in my Commodore 64 world detect when a player touches a floppy to a trigger collider on the floppy drive, then play a URL associated with it on the video player.

[jaunty schooner]

I haven't used Udon much, so I don't recall exactly how everything I did works. But basically you want the world owner, or the owner of the object which has the script on it to be the one to send a network event to the appropriate script, and in that script you'd have it check the player name when it receives the network event and decide what it should play based on that. I'm not sure exactly off the top of my head how you transmit a value to all the other players which would be simultaneous with the network event but I suspect the code there does so with the URL, so that would be what you'd want to look at to see how it was done.

You'd think you could just use a synced variable but if I remember correctly, those are synced at particular intervals and you can't count on them having been updated when a network event is received, which is instant.

[trail palm]

thx, will try to figure it out

[mossy cobalt]

Hello, so is there a way to make the Chooser Buttons local? currently im running into the issue where if a quest user pushes the buttons first then the PC user cant use it and vise versa. I have a feeling if i make it local it would fix it. does anyone know how to do so?

[mossy cobalt]

it seems to depend on who makes the instance. if a quest user does it, it works for them. if a PC user does it, it works for them.

Take that to #shameless-self-promotion .
This channel is for udon assistance.

[gentle rover]

Trying to upload a world as a test, but keep getting these errors or errors with udon sharp, how do I fix it?

[topaz jetty]

do you have other errors if you scroll up?

[gentle rover]

Yeah, let me screenshot them real quick

[topaz jetty]

did you put 2 projects in 1 or something? everything's duplicated

it says I think

maybe try making a new project, importing the sdk & udon sharp & other packages and just copying your scene & models over

also make sure you're using unity 2019.4.31f1

[gentle rover]

No i only put one is, but it could be that i did on accident or if the file has duplicates. I just downloaded a free world to try to see how the publishing would work and what other assests i would need like udon sharp.

oki

[wind wedge]

Can i ask about U# here?

[pallid roost]

Unchec the is kinematic box on the rigid body.

[pallid roost]

This is indeed the place

[wind wedge]

ALRIGTHY

[wind wedge]

thanks because ive got a whirl and its nearing two days of trouble shooting

[pallid roost]

No worries. I can't remember if it's on or off you want it to be. Opposite of whatever default is

[wind wedge]

Wrong person? 😮

[pallid roost]

Oh yes XD

[wind wedge]

😛

[pallid roost]

But ask away anyway

[wind wedge]

Im gathering the information and screen shots 😛

I've been Trying to use ProTV in my world along with other Assets like the Roomba, and Udon sharp keep sending compiling errors, Ive been to the ProTV Discord and we are looking for a solution also, at this time I am trying to Re-import U# as many times it takes for it to recognize the right information,

we thought the issue was that I imported the assets before sharp, but i deleted and reimported them in order and same messages, i even re imported the SDK

[pallid roost]

Do you get that error in a fresh project if you import them all in correct order?
Sdk, u#, tv?

[wind wedge]

yup

wait

let me confirm that

Work in a new project

[pseudo pelican]

Quick question. Can you get the user who sent the networked event?

[wind wedge]

I think there is something in the original project that's making U# Dookie

"If U# is not imported before anything else that uses U#, it'll likely cause this issue." - ProTv Creator

I think i need to delete everything that uses U# then re import U# first

[pallid roost]

I'd say try delete all the protv stuff, and make sure that u# is compiling at that point

Find a script in your assets and click the compile all button and check there are no errors

[wind wedge]

Caps sorrry

In Visual studio?

[pallid roost]

Na if you find a u# script in the file explorer in the project and select it, in the inspector is a compile button

Feel free to respond @ me so I know you've answered

Had anyone used the player tag feature?
I see it says get players with tag is broken, but does the normal get / set tag work ok?
I've not heard of many people using it before

[pallid roost]

Sounds like you have a compilation issue somewhere that is breaking things

[wind wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-side-eye-confused-gif-8776030

whut that mean?

[pallid roost]

What errors if you hit compile all?

Clear your errors, hit compile all, and ss the console

[indigo finch]

mind showing the whole udon component? (windows key + shift + s to screenshot only part of your screen). It seems like you renamed the c# file to something else, and so it can't find an udon behaviour to link it with

[indigo finch]

and what about on the object it's being used on?

[wind wedge]

thats was just a test script i created to try the compiling

no object

[indigo finch]

the image I circled was clearly on an object

o wait.
Mind showing the udon# object/ script

[wind wedge]

You mean this?

[indigo finch]

yea. that all checks out. weird. I would go through and reinstall the sdk + udon#, making sure they are all the latest.
Interesting how they mentioned that it might break ProTV, but for all my scripts, that hasn't been the case

but looking back, it looks like you've already reimported them...

[wind wedge]

They mentioned that importing them in the wrong order messes with it sometimes

[pallid roost]

It will indeed

I'd install just vrc sdk and u#

And then try compile and check it works first

[indigo finch]

making an audioSource play a sound is pretty easy, and I've even made some tutorials covering it. You just need to get it play a sound when someone enters a trigger using either onPlayerTriggerEnter node, or to make sure everyone hears it, onPlayerTriggerEnter (playerApi) ---> PlayerApi. is local ---> branch --(true)--> send custom event (Play Sound) nodes.
To make sure that it is only played once, have a private bool variable 'has played', and use a branch node to only play the sound if 'has played' = false. Then after playing the sound, make 'has played' = true, so it can't play again (or fire a delayed custom event to reset 'has played' to false).

As for making it so only certain players hear a particular type of sound, that would greatly depend on how your doing it. If you just want the person who triggered the sound to hear something different, then a simple playerApi. is local' will allow for that. If you just want it to randomise the sound being played, and simple random.range node should be all you need. If you want a particular 'team' to hear something different, then you need to store that team somewhere else, and then call that from your 'play sound' script, and then cycle through that team list, to see if the local player is on that team. If so, play sound 1, if not, play sound 2.

[indigo finch]

not easily, and it's usually better to work around it, but you can do it. If you get them to change a synced int to their playerID, and then get players to, when that int changes, to do something with that id (from memory, I think it's playerApi. get player from ID). Also need to make a networked event to be called, so that if the id is the same but you want it to run again, you can call the networked event instead.

[wind wedge]

It only goes bonkers when i install the new assets and its says it cant find some path thats literally already connected to it. It works Perfectly fine on a different project file so if i cant figure it out i think ill just re do the world in another project, its starting to become exhausting

Thank you so much for helping ❤️

[pallid roost]

That's fair. Id you haven't got too much to redo, do it in a new project.

You could try reimport all, might fix it

It's possible it somehow install a dependant unity package that's causing an issue

[wind wedge]

mhmm theres no doubt i did something silly and i dont know what it is, im fairly new to all this

TYSM

[pallid roost]

No worries

[rocky token]

ive seen a few worlds with a cornhole prefab before, does anyone know where i could find it

[spiral crest]

How can I make my vrc mirrors start off when joining my world?

[trail palm]

thanks, thats a big help already. what i meant with specific sounds for specific players was, that i have a patrolling npc walking through my world. once somebody gets to close, he should say "get out of the way, peasant". however, when i or one of my manually set up friends go too close, it should say a different thing. so it depends on the username/ account of the player who gets too close, but i dont know if that is possible

[pallid roost]

Either in the start event, turn them off.
Or just turn them off yourself in the editor

[spiral crest]

Ooh so just hide them and they will start disabled in game?

[pallid roost]

Yea if the checkbox next to their name is unchecked (in the inspector) they they are disabled when the game starts

[spiral crest]

Sweet!

[indigo finch]

hope that helps ^^

[scarlet lake]

Is there away to make it where you can’t see anyone name tag for a world

Like say I wanted to make you could see names is that possible for pc and quest

[autumn oriole]

Not sure what is your purpose, you want to make name tag invisible?

[dapper lion]

that would be against tos iirc

[spiral crest]

How could I make a list of songs that auto play in the world? I could make one big mp3 file but that feels wrong

[fickle blade]

Either that (which would probably be a lot of MBs) or use a prefab. There are some that use youtube playlists.

My latest issue is I want to use a Unity camera's output on a plane (or quad, whatever works).

If VRChat supports orthographic cameras that would be even better

[dapper lion]

it does

[fickle blade]

Great news! Any idea how I'd set this up? Udon flowcharts make no sense to me.

[fickle blade]

I've been searching but I still can't find any info on this.

Yo, finally found something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOrQQIG5ZIk

[fringe idol]

Hey I am new to UDON and I am trying to figure out how to make a randomizer. (get a new random number every time) I'm trying to make this work in a way that the player can have a different experience every time they start my game in my world. Does anyone have any tips or videos on how to do it? please @ me. Thank you

[autumn oriole]

on udon graph you can use Random.Range for int or float

[fringe idol]

@autumn oriole Thank you very much!

[burnt goblet]

So, I'm trying to make a music system to my world and I wanna be able to toggle looping, is there anyway I could change the looping state.(Sorry if this is something easy and obvious but I'm really new to udon and I'm kinda stupid)

[night viper]

There is a "Set loop" you can use on an AudioSource. If you are using graphs it looks like this.

[burnt goblet]

Thank you very much

[spark walrus]

does anyone know how i can map an animation to a float 0-1, so that a slider-value drives the animation from start to end? Animationstate.time seems to be deprecated

[indigo finch]

I've always done it with an animator, but perhaps that's overkill for what you need: https://youtu.be/r-3L2h0yDkc

[fickle blade]

I have multiple booths here using cameras, but I want to enable/disable all of them other than the one I'm using.
I think the best way is to add a large invisible box collider as a trigger, but I have no idea how to do the enabling/disabling bit.

[spark walrus]

you mean once a player enters box the camera-object gets disabled?

or enabled

[fickle blade]

When a player enters the booth, it would disable the cameras in the other booths and enable the one for the current booth

That way only the current booth would have an enabled camera

[spark walrus]

ok then best thing to do disable all on default and make a box for each box that should enable

add udon-script to box and write in the onplayerenter

the script needs a public variable for the camera that you want to enable

then in the onplayerenter function you can make the variable to variable.setActive(true)M

and onplayerexit variable.setActive(false)

[fickle blade]

Not getting an onplayerenter, but there's a collision one 🤔

[spark walrus]

thats the one

[fickle blade]

Can't find the second one now

My only experience with Udon is following tutorials step-by-step as the flowchart style makes no sense to me :P

[spark walrus]

oh is there a vc in here?

[fickle blade]

Voice Chat? Can't see one in this server, actually

[spark walrus]

damn ok, you also never tried udon_sharp before right? writing scripts in c# i mean

[fickle blade]

Never used it, I've only used a couple of simple languages

[spark walrus]

did you make a public variable?

so setActive can be found under GameObject

[fickle blade]

Do I use the plus on the variables box to make the variable or do I do that elsewhere?

[spark walrus]

the OnPlayerCollisionExit is right under OnPlayerCollisionEnter

[spark walrus]

plus then tippe the type you want in this case GameObject

[fickle blade]

With or without what appears to be square brackets?

[faint delta]

Hey folks! Can anyone offer a quick how to (or link to a tutorial) on pulling in and checking a variable from another entity when using the OnTriggerEnter function? In this case, I'd like to check a Branch against an int on the VRC_Pickup entering the trigger in the Udon graph on the OnEnterTrigger. I'm assuming there's some way to reference "object that entered" but Udon can be tricky in finding the right noodles.

[spark walrus]

without, the one with means multiple gameobjects in a bundle called "array"

[fickle blade]

Ah, gotcha

[trail palm]

a question regarding udon object sync. i have this guy patroling through my world. he follows a fixed path on a set speed. just puting in a normal object sync component doesnt really work, if i do that he becomes slower for everyone and it looks weird. how can i make him sync while not affecting his speed. i thought of two options, either somehow only make it sync on a 10 to 20 sec interval, or to have everyone sync it off the room master while it doesnt affect him

[indigo finch]

Slight correction here, but you want onPlayerTriggerEnter not onPlayerCollisionEnter. As you are entering a trigger, not impacting with a solid object

[fickle blade]

Resolved it with a private call and screen sharing, but thanks anyway :)

[trail palm]

î0 dont know what would be a good workaround. i made two short clips to demonstrate. one is without the object sync. it works well and looks normal. the other one is with the object sync. its much slower and the animation doesnt fit the speed anymore

[charred solstice]

Has vrchat applied any limitations on 5 or 7 point surround-sound? In the documentation it says it is supported in the reference player, however in testing it isn't.

[pearl tiger]

Currently trying to solve this issue as well in one of my maps and someone sent me this video maybe it'll help even though its an hour long presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXXS7HX7Og

[trail palm]

this is a good video, however i thjink some of the stufff in there might help me, but my character isnt exactly an ai so i need to think on how to do it. pasically, i just want the transform and rotation values synced, but not every frame, more like every 20 seconds

[viral fjord]

I'm trying to add downforce to a rigidbody based on its speed but it's not working. I've got it set to something ridiculous (x9999) and it doesn't have any effect. Am I applying the force/forcemode wrong?

[indigo finch]

depends on what your doing, but usually you would want to use rigidbody.AddRelativeForce instead of rigidbody.AddForce, as you want it to power downwards from the car, not in world space.

That being said, honestly, -9999 isn't that large of a number, depending on the mass of your object. For thrust for an example vehicle with a mass of 1, I normally would use a thrust of 500. that might help to keep things in scale

[vapid niche]

I have a simple script for an object to be invisible on pickup and become visible again on drop. But I need it to be synched. so I have this script, it works in unity and cyanemu... but when I upload to VR chat, it just acts like aregular pickup and doesn't go invisible

[indigo finch]

You can't have two custom events with the same name. cyanemu is probably just ignoring it, but vrchat isn't. As they do the same thing, you could just delete one of them and both scripts will call the same custom event.

That being said, if someone joins the game late while the object is in the opposite state (or misses a networked event call), they will always see it in the opposite state. To fix that, you really want to have them separate, and make it so that it is always on when one is called, and always off when the other is called

[viral fjord]

Maybe stupid question, but is there an easy way to see the current force on a rigidbody? This seems to work, but now my car gets smashed into the floor no matter what force I multiply by. Though, I'm using the package UdonSimpleCars which couples the rigidbody to four wheel colliders, so maybe its script just freaks out when it interacts with this.

[indigo finch]

I've never managed to get good results using wheel colliders for anything at any decent speeds.
As for your question, perhaps this will clear it up: https://forum.unity.com/threads/calculating-force-from-velocity-and-mass-some-common-misconceptions.328128/

[trail palm]

i dont get udon. this is what ive been fabricating and it still doesnt work.

[lapis owl]

noob question but is udon 100% needed or could you just use C#?

[indigo finch]

udon is needed, but you don't have to code in udon graph. There are 3rd party compilers, like Udon# from merlin, that allows you to code in a more traditional manner

[lapis owl]

ah ok thx

[indigo finch]

Dunno what your trying to do, but this code will run whenever a trigger enters this object's collider. it will then check to see if the object has an udon behaviour of any kind on it. If it does, it will see whether or not it's target audio Source is playing, and turn it on if it's off, and off if it's on

[pallid roost]

Is the object that is getting picked up the one that is turning invisible?
I'm not sure the behavior will even respond to an event if the object it is attached to is disabled

[indigo finch]

It's an object variable, so it's another object

[pallid roost]

I would assume as much, but it's possible they're passing the same object in so wanted to be sure.

[indigo finch]

they said it was working in cyanemu, so figures it was doing what they wanted in testing, just not in vrchat

[pallid roost]

True true

[slim jacinth]

Does anyone know if it's possible to hit a json endpoint with a payload via udon or udon sharp and read the response data?

Well, since im new to udon my original idea went right over my head. For starters, I just want to play a sound every time a player steps into the trigger area

[gaunt harbor]

hi there i could not open control panel,how to solve this question thank you

With a proper setup, 5.1 surround is supported. This includes both setting up the speakers correctly, but also making sure the media being played has properly setup multi-channel audio.

The vast majority of audio (including basically all of youtube) is just left/right stereo or mono.

[cunning cipher]

has anyone thought of the idea of re-creating Jackbox games into VRChat? some of the fun gesture ones like Fakin' It would be so fun in VR

I guess it might be difficult for that one because I think the it implies you know about the people in the room but it could be tweaked maybe

[viral fjord]

I'm finding that as well. Do you know of a good alternative to wheel colliders? And thanks for your help

[trail palm]

ok, i dont really understand the udon system yet, but this is what i have now. it works locally pretty well, now i want it synced with every player. how would i do that

[somber trellis]

anyone know how I can keep the lever in one place without me being able to pick it up?

[somber trellis]

I added hinge joints and vrc pickup. Not sure if that had something to do with it

[trail palm]

i dont get it, i am confused

[mossy cobalt]

Hello, So I am running into an issue where if for example "a quest user clicks the buttons and a PC user tries to use the buttons next, the buttons dont work" is there any way to make it so the buttons are local and any user can use the buttons? I feel making it local would allow for a better experience for the players. If someone can help me with this issue that would be so wonderful 🐵

The button system is the default example system used in the world SDK for VRC. I just removed the follow player script to keep them where they are.

[trail palm]

im not an expert at all, but you need to find a way to make it work without any nodes that have serialization or deserialization in them

[trail palm]

i dont know whats wrong. im trying to have the top group affect normal players and the bottom group affect players which names i manually set up in the "PlayerNames" string. but i have no idea how to make the system check that. both groups work on their own. the nodes that arent in the group have to be the problem. my idea was to get the name of player that is in the trigger and then compare it with the "PlayerNames" string and if the name matches with one of the string names, it should be true for the branch, and if the names dont match, it should be false. but what im doing clearly isnt working

and of course the event should trigger for everybody as soon as a player gets in the trigger area, which of the 2 branches get active however, should only be decided my the player in the trigger.

Does anyone know the discord or where I can get UdonSharp 1.0? I need for project am working on.

[trail palm]

you want to know how to get the udon sharp unity package? or specifically 1.0

[south compass]

specifically 1.0 that is not in the package it in some discord and need it for package file I was given.

UdonSharp 1.0 beta is in MerlinVR discord however there no link to it only a twitter post say it there

[trail palm]

i can dm you an invite to the udon sharp creators discord

its literally on the bottom of the github page

[south compass]

🤦

[south compass]

oh my lord am looking at the old github and twitter everywhere ells apart from the bottom of that post lamo

thank you

[trail palm]

i now have this system, it works perfectly fine if the string only has one instance. however, if it has more than one instance, the branch node at the end, activates both the true and false. im checking for names. so if i step in the trigger and also have my username set in the "PlayerNames" string it will activate the true branch, but if 2 different names are set in the "PlayerNames" string, the event will be true when my name is processed in the string, but false if the other name is instanced in the string. however, i want that if its true once in the string, false doesnt even start to play.

hey, so just a simple question, is there any way use physbones in a world? I am wanting to add a tire swing to my world and want to allow players to push each other while sitting on it using the physbones. is there any way this is possible?

[trail palm]

im not sure, but there is got to be a better way than physbones.

[pallid roost]

There isn't yet. It's planned though

[somber trellis]

Is there a way to make particles appear when two pickup objects touch? (Like sparks)

Couldn’t find much online about it and very little on the topic with udon

[mossy cobalt]

ok thank you for letting me know

[indigo finch]

Yea, there isn't a lot out there, but it's also kinda a niche thing compared to other glaringly missing tutorials.

See if you're any good at reading cryptic, as this is roughly how I would go about doing it:
onCollisionEnter/onTriggerEnter -->> collision. get gameobject --->> gameObject, get name -->> string, contains(string variable (part of name that all your pickups have)) -->> branch --(true)-->> animator.set trigger(animator variable) <<-- string, const (trigger name).
Then have an animation on your animator that fires a burst of particle by triggering the emission temporarily, before returning to off, and going back to the previous animation state.

[somber trellis]

Thanks! I’ll look into experimenting with this

[radiant ingot]

Hey! So I'm still somewhat new to Unity udon stuff. and In VRC SDK I tried launching Local Testing and for some reason Vr chat is not launching. Instead Microsoft is trying to find it in there store. if someone knows how to fix this please let me know. Im so confused.

[calm zephyr]

I'm desperate for some help with Udon graphe. I cant figure out how to update events for late joiners. I thought Is master worked but not anymore I guess. Could anyone please show me a photo of an example ?

[eternal canyon]

Hi, is there any UDON sample on how to add a looping playlist as the background music, without making different music into a single clip

[dawn forge]

I have a U# example, but not in the form of a graph. Would it still be helpful?

[topaz jetty]

There's probably some pre-made video players that have this feature

[topaz jetty]

Events don't update for late joiners, you need to use synced variables instead

[calm zephyr]

I'm not so sure how to do that. I used to have an udon graph that got info from master and shared it with on player join but that does not seem to work anymore.

[topaz jetty]

What are you trying to sync? Then I could explain it for that spesifically

[calm zephyr]

If I toggle a cube to inactive for example. I would like players who join to see it is inactive. Or if a flash light turns on I want them to see it is on when they join late

[eternal canyon]

Thanks for replying, could you please send it to me. Maybe it will work with the help of Udonsharp

[topaz jetty]

Ok so first in untiy set the udon behaviour sync mode to manual

Then in graph you want to make a variable with "synced" checked

So every object has an owner, and the owner of an object can change the synced variables. So the first thing you want to do when someone presses the button is Networking.SetOwner to set the owner of the object that pressed the button

Then you change the variable, so for a toggle you'd use a boolean

Then you use the RequestSerialization node to send the variable changes to everyone else

Then there's an event called "OnDeserialization", that event fires whenever a synced variable changes, in there enable/disable the cube whenever the variable is true or false

Whenever a late joiner joins it will automatically fire OnDeserialization for them with the current state of the synced variables

You will also need to manually do the changed outside of ondeserialization for the person that fires requestserialization because they don't receive the variables, they send them, so OnDeserialization isn't fired for them. You can either do set variable > request serialization > set cube state or you can just do the lazy way and call OnDeserialization yourself, which is what I always do. Not sure if you can do that in udon graph though because I always use U#, but you could try SendCustomEvent and the event name _OnDeserialization

[calm zephyr]

Your help is greatly appreciated. I dont know much about variables and how to use them but ill try to take this information you gave me and try my best. You wouldn't have a photo example by chance do ya ? There are like no tutorials online for this topic

[somber trellis]

What should I add to this to trigger a teleportation ?

[topaz jetty]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/wiki/vrchat-api#vrcplayerapi

Networking.LocalPlayer.TeleportTo(position, rotation)

[somber trellis]

Awesome, thanks! Would I have to create an udon graph to cope with the teleportation or is it just fine as is?

[topaz jetty]

No, everything that can be done in udon graph can be done in udonsharp (udon sharp can even do a little bit more like function arguments)

[somber trellis]

Nice.

[somber trellis]

As for position, could I just put in the game object/empty’s name?

(I’m fairly new to udongraph/sharp if you couldn’t tell 😳)

[topaz jetty]

gameObject.GetComponent<Transform>().position

or you can manually enter the x, y and z with new Vector3(x, y, z) if you want

unity objects have different components for different functionality and you can get the components by using GetComponent<type>()

the transform component is a component that every object has that handles things like position, scale and rotation

so if you have a GameObject variable called location you'd do something like cs Transform locationTransform = location.GetComponent<Transform>(); Networking.LocalPlayer.TeleportTo(locationTransform.position, locationTransform.rotation);

[somber trellis]

Imma test this out rq and see if it all works out. Might ask another question or two later

[topaz jetty]

You can also just use a public transform variable directly

public Transform location;

public void _teleportToLocation() 
{
Networking.LocalPlayer.TeleportTo(location.position, location.rotation);
}

[somber trellis]

And where what would I replace with the gameObject’s name?

[topaz jetty]

if you want the gameobject's name from a transform then it'd be (transform variable name).gameObject.name

[somber trellis]

Ok

[burnt goblet]

So I'm an idiot as usually and can't seem to figure this out. I'm trying to make a music player and I want to have a pause/play button. Is there anyway I can detect the currently playing file and then apply the toggle effect to that? I basically have the toggle pause/play thing but somehow applying it to currently playing file.

[past lance]

Hey, would anyone know how to make a camera toggle in udon? I can't seem to find a single video explaining how to do it

[eager olive]

Camera toggle? As in, switching to a different camera?

Something like this? https://streamable.com/jjh4ff (Ping me if that's the case)

[pallid roost]

Can we use coroutines in U#? I haven't tested it. But am curious and aren't at home ATM to try XD

I know we can do some things similar with call custom events it you structure your events right but its not the same.

[scarlet heron]

can someone help me with my Ui? i can get it to work with buttons but not toggles...

[proud skiff]

i like how absolutely no one acknowledged my question

[indigo finch]

I mean I saw it, but what was the question? (other than asking someone to dm you)

[proud skiff]

well, im trying to put a video player in here that requires U# but when i put it in there, i get script erros, but then i fix all them.. and then it still tells me there are script errors..

but.. theres nothing there in the console

[indigo finch]

if you click on a udon# code in the project window, you can tell it to recompile all udon# scripts. do that, and you might get the correct error messages

[proud skiff]

ohh okay

thanks, i'll try that

this world im doing is a commission

i have less than 2 weeks to finish it

[desert steppe]

Does anyone knows what's this ownership transfer thing in log?

[elder peak]

did someone leave the instance?

[desert steppe]

It spamming this whenever people join and leave the instance

[elder peak]

what i assume this is, the instance master leaves the instance, all their ownerships transfer to the new master (next oldest joiner in the instance)

[desert steppe]

Oh but inside the world there arent much global objects other than the doors

[fleet badge]

anyone know what is going on i cannot get into vr chat?

[indigo finch]

thats more of a question for #user-support-old

[indigo finch]

nope, currently the only way is with delayed custom event..

[pallid roost]

Aww, well thats unfortunate.

[indigo finch]

You weren't that far off. Just the gameObject,Get ActiveInHierarchy part was off. Also the toggle should be stored as a toggle/uiToggle (first is variable name, second is search name...) instead of as a gameObject

[indigo finch]

You sound like you've probably found a solution (and sorry for the ping if so), but if not, I actually covered doing both those with udon graph: https://youtu.be/19HMJaHGtqw, https://youtu.be/-p-QPxtWg3o

[topaz jetty]

If you don't set sync type to "None" it will still transfer ownership even though it doesn't have any synced variables

[desert steppe]

Okay will check! Thanks

[scarlet lake]

Hello! Not sure if this is the proper channel, but I'm trying to add Darts to my world. If anyone has any links to something I can download or buy, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[unreal grail]

Here's a weird one. I have a function that gets the player tracking data (head) and sets a transform...ya know, the normal stuff. But randomly, it throws a null reference error and the script stops functioning.

However, I can't do a normal null check because I am told that Operator '!=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'VRCPlayerApi.TrackingData' and '<null>'.

Error:

  An exception occurred during EXTERN to 'VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApi.__GetTrackingData__VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApiTrackingDataType__VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApiTrackingData'.
      Parameter Addresses: 0x00000026, 0x0000000F, 0x00000004
  
  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Code (the line throwing the above error is commented out):

    private void FixedUpdate() {
            VRCPlayerApi.TrackingData localHead = Networking.LocalPlayer.GetTrackingData(VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType.Head);
            // if (localHead != null)
                    transform.SetPositionAndRotation(localHead.position, localHead.rotation);
    }

[past lance]

Kinda like switching to different cameras through different button (Like in FNaF if ur familiar with that)

[eager olive]

I'm not, but the way I do it is by adding an extra camera!

With target display set to "Display 1". If the camera is enabled, it'll render over the VRChat window's normal view.

I also use cinemachine for fancy camera movement, but that's an advanced topic 😄

I'd recommend just toying around with an extra camera in your Unity scene, to get a feel for it.

[past lance]

@eager olive Ah thanks! Just one other thing, would u know how to make it so that the camera see's a certain light but the player can't?

If that makes sense

So when looking through the camera, u see a light but looking out of it shows nothing?

[mighty fjord]

Are you getting this error in the editor?

To me it sounds like Networking.LocalPlayer is returning null, which is normally will if you're in the editor, unless you've got CyanEmu

[pallid roost]

https://booth.pm/ja/items/2766178

[unreal grail]

It's both. Sometimes it happens when another player joins. I can nullcheck Networking.Localplayer though, right?

[mighty fjord]

Yeah, you can check if it's null

[swift nebula]

Looking for some help with a way to get audio to ONLY play locally on a button press. The attached image is my current trigger that sets the game object to active and I would like only the player who pushes the button to hear the audio. Any ideas?
https://i.imgur.com/J7YbIfi.png

[grand temple]

that should work if by press you mean touch

if you mean the blue outline that you click with your hand, that's called interact

[indigo finch]

OnPickupUseDown --->> audioSource.Play

[swift nebula]

Yes it works but the audio plays for everyone, not just the player who triggered it.

[grand temple]

that doesn't make sense.... you're checking islocal, that should be exactly what you need

[swift nebula]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[indigo finch]

Likely something else in your scene that your missing. This should work

[swift nebula]

Oh hi Bush! Someone just recommended me your video in another discord lol. Gonna just rebuild it using ur little tut and see if it fixes. I must've done something weird.

[indigo finch]

Hello ^^

[shut ermine]

Do you also know how to make stuff appear and disappear like a muzzle flash?
trying to remake the murder 4 gun btw

[indigo finch]

If your trying to do a bunch of visual stuff (including sound), I would instead do it all as an animations controlled by an animator, and then call it from udon with animator.set Trigger instead of the audioSource.Play node

[feral tartan]

Hello all, I have a question. If I have a gameObject with a script on it what holds also a OnDeserialization() in the script. That gameObject works true a gameObject toggle(Like a toggle button). For example when entering the world its on default turned off and with a push of a button that gameObject will turn on. How can I make the OnDeserialization() to work? Because it breaks after turning that gameObject on, the RequestSerialization() is done but the OnDeserialization() doesn't work. But when I turn it on on default, then it works just normally. Do I first need to set in the Start() the the gameObject is owned by the 'Instance Master' and if so how do I call that in C#, or do I need to do something else? I was trying to find an answer in the forums or here but couldn't find anything about this topic. Thank you in advanced.

[indigo finch]

This sounds like you have a scripting error more than anything else. Mind sharing the code?

[pallid roost]

If I'm understanding what your saying right is that it isn't syncing correctly if the object is turned off by default? Or just they the deserilization isn't working?

[feral tartan]

Just the OnDeserialization(). It is not triggered when I do a RequestSerialization(). And that only happens after I turn on the gameObject what holds that code. But if its on by default then it works normally and the OnDeserialization() gets then normally triggered.

[pallid roost]

Ah I see your issue here.

[feral tartan]

I kinda do mind to share yes.

[indigo finch]

okay, no worries

[pallid roost]

onDes isn't triggered for the person who called the request serialization

Only for the remote clients

You need to manually call whatever your onDes does for the person that calls it

That is called when the client receives data. And or course the sender doesn't need to receive it, they already have it

[feral tartan]

True, but the remote doesn't trigger the OnDeserialization() when the Owner calls it. 🥴

[pallid roost]

Is the person calling it the owner of the obejct the behavior is on?

And is the object active, the behavior on an inactive object won't run

[feral tartan]

    private void Start()
    {
        localPlayer = Networking.LocalPlayer;
    }

    public void somename()
    { 
        if (!Networking.IsOwner(this.gameObject))
        {
            Networking.SetOwner(localPlayer, this.gameObject);
        }
        if (Networking.IsOwner(this.gameObject))
        {
            RequestSerialization();
        }
    }

    {
      some code here
    }

Yes the gameObject what hold this code is at that moment active/on.

[pallid roost]

Yea that'll be the issue. If it's turned off by default it won't be able to turn on.

To solve that you need to put the behavior on a different object and give that a refrence to the one you want to toggle

[feral tartan]

Ok so If I understand correctly I cant toggle a gameObject what holds a script what holds something like this. So better to put it for example in the root so its always on.

[pallid roost]

Yup

[feral tartan]

clear

I didnt know that haha

[pallid roost]

If you really wanted to keep it on it you could toggle off the mesh renderer instead of the object, that way the behaviours can still run

But generally it's easier to just put the udon behavior on an empty object that toggles the ones you want from there

[feral tartan]

Yeah I will transfer it to a empty gameObject that would be a better practice and easier to toggle the object I want to toggle because of the complex system I'm building. Thanks for the help.

[pallid roost]

No worries! I had the same issue in the beginning too.

Didn't know that a script wouldn't run on a disabled object. But it makes total sense.

[feral tartan]

Well it is on default Disabled/Off. But after toggling it to Enabled/On even then it doesn't run. Only when its from default Enabled/On in the world. Soooo yeah. I will do the easy fix by transferring it to a empty gameObject and for me in the future an thing to remember haha.

[feral tartan]

yup this worked! thnx!

[marble helm]

Is their a way to sync animators between clients

[spark walrus]

maybe if you sync the animator parameter-variables that trigger the transition

[elder peak]

disabling a networked object is pretty much just asking for trouble

[warm mortar]

I rewrote some of the cat likes coding movement tutorials to work in udon sharp. Basically you can get on a station and move on the surface of little planets or jump between them. It work well except for what seems like a singularity when ever the rotation is fully upside down. And angles close to that seems to be bit whack. What's odd is if I copy the code back to c sharp the problem disappears. Anyone knows how udon deals with rotations?

[clever quail]

Buttons are not working for me.
There are no colliders covering them and the none behind wall

[spark walrus]

could i take a lock at it?

*look

[stoic yarrow]

Hi everybody, could you tell me if google drive is still whitelisted as a source for video links ( both pc and quest) ? i've been trying for a while by using direct share links, converting the shareable url in direct raw URL , tried putting the shortcut for the youtube-dl in front of the link etc but nothing seems to work. the file is an mp4 h 264 video file

[clever quail]

im using the canvas render mode as world space. could that be the cause?

[spark walrus]

oh you mean a UI-button not a physical one

[clever quail]

yea

[high osprey]

for canvas UIs you have to add a vrc ui shape component to the canvas and set its layes (with the childres too) to default

[spark walrus]

does your canvas has a vrc ui component on it?

[clever quail]

did all that

[high osprey]

and you set the events to the udon behaviour?

[clever quail]

yes i did that

btw it works when Im use cyanemu

when I use the vrchat client it doesnt work

[burnt goblet]

Hello, I’m still pretty new to udon and can’t figure this out. Is there anyway I can apply for example a toggle to play/pause the music to the currently playing file?

[high osprey]

the problem is that you can't click it? or is it that the udon behavior doesn't respond?

[gilded jungle]

how do you guys set up the cinemachine for quest2 in the world?

[indigo finch]

I covered this in a tutorial, but instead of using audioSource.Stop, you would instead want to use audioSource.Pause
https://youtu.be/4ENVC7cCiUU

[burnt goblet]

Thank you very much. The system is about done with this video, there is only one thing missing and if you don’t mind I’d like to ask how would I use the same logic you used in the video for changing the clip. How could I change it so that it picks a clip from lots of different sources for example picking a random song out of a big playlist

[spark walrus]

is there a way to progress an animation with a value but then also resume playback normally from the point-of-progression? I can progress a Animation with a Motion_time parameter but then i cant playback normal anymore

[wind atlas]

You could use Animator.Play. It takes a normalizedTime parameter (value between 0 and 1) to fast forward to a specific point in time.

[spark walrus]

nice thanks

[indigo finch]

sorry, for the late reply. You would do something like this, using a audioClip[] instead of a audioClip, and randomising the selected clip from the list

[burnt goblet]

Thank you sooo much, I can't thank you enough

[vast sparrow]

im having a really weird error that whenever i do a build test doesn't exist but if i try and do a published build suddenly just appears for no reason any ideas why this happens

after build test

after i attempt to publish a build

i cant publish because of this please help

[wind atlas]

You should be able to upload even with runtime exceptions. Can you describe when exactly it stops you from publishing?

Also, what are the rest of the errors.

[vast sparrow]

none of the buttons or text boxes are responding

even after i wait for a bit

so i cant add a world name or hit publish button

[wind atlas]

Are the buttons disabled or just can't click on them?

[vast sparrow]

just cant click them

they look enabled

[wind atlas]

Sounds like something is on top of the canvas or something?

[vast sparrow]

hmmm

how would i check that?

[wind atlas]

Type "Canvas" in the search bar. You could try disabling them one by one.

[vast sparrow]

alright ill try that real quick

[wind atlas]

But honestly that was just a quick guess. The main problem is that something is preventing your VRChat publishing canvas from receiving click events

[vast sparrow]

that was it thanks

[vestal mica]

hey how can i make this scipt fires for late joiners?

[cold raft]

i assume you want to have the object state toggled also for late joiners rights?

[vestal mica]

yes

[cold raft]

so is this about a single object or multiple?

if its a list of objects you all want to sync you could use a ObjectPool as it synchronises the objects active states

if its a single object, drive the active state with a public boolean variable, if you either have it set to continues sync or manual sync the boolean value will automagicly be send to late joiners

[vestal mica]

its just a collider

one gameobject with a collider

i never did something with udon graph

can you make me a example?

[cold raft]

not atm sorry

[vestal mica]

no problem

but thanks for your explaining.

[bleak magnet]

is there a node to combine all my game objects and then add to my toggle group without out having to do the group 4x?

[foggy quartz]

So, im creating a UI system in my world that works similarly to the UI system in Spirits of the Sea, as it looks cleaner and seems to flow better (IMO). I haven't come across any tutorial for toggling certain UI panels, except for the basic mirror toggles, which doesn't exactly translate well to UI elements (for me at least). I have U# installed but curious to know how closely related it is to C#, since i know basic C# scripting.

[indigo finch]

they're pretty similar, with a couple of things you can't do in udon. The most notable being public custom events can't have parameters/ variables, and you can't do lists (arrays are fine though)

[foggy quartz]

So the UI system i want to do certainly would work then since its simply only a boolean.

[indigo finch]

yup ^^

im not very good at software or what does what

[graceful warren]

How do I get magnitude from the GetVelocity?

I'm trying to an audiosource's volume based on player movement

[hidden tundra]

If there's no option for getting magnitude directly, you could do it manually with pythagoras, sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)

Easier to read

I'll get a project with udon open and check for myself

[graceful warren]

how would I get the Vector3 that GetVelocity returns into that sqrt?

[hidden tundra]

You can square each value separately, then add them together and finally square root that value

[grand temple]

vector3.magnitude is in udon, you don't need to do the math

[graceful warren]

wait

wut

I can barely code and barely math. This is probably useless.

[grand temple]

no that's exactly how it works

[grand temple]

oh sorry

[hidden tundra]

Pretty sure it's meant to be Vector3.magnitude(localPlayer.GetVelocity());

Capitalisation might be wrong

[grand temple]

also assign localplayer on start

you should make sure your code editor is connected to unity so you get syntax highlighting and autocomplete

[graceful warren]

It's meant to be but not working

[hidden tundra]

Did you assign localPlayer?

[graceful warren]

how?

I'm really new to all this.

[hidden tundra]

I'm not too sure as I usually use the graph to do Udon however I assume there's a tutorial which says somewhere on the internet

[graceful warren]

Apparently it's this

but now got this

[hidden tundra]

ah it's a capital M

[grand temple]

it might be getvelocity().magnitude

[graceful warren]

it works

captial M

[hidden tundra]

Dope

[graceful warren]

now just to find good in and max values

See that arrow on the OnPickupUseDown node? You want to plug that into the arrow slot of an audioSource.Play node.

Basically do what I did for the coding in this tutorial, but replace the interact node with a OnPickupUseDown node.

hey not sure if this is the right place to ask - i also have already asked on the server of the creator of the video player prefab - but nobody knew an answer, so im curious if anyone has encountered the same problem as me. i can not get sound from livestreams, but there is audio from normal videos being played. i already reimported the asset, as well as trying to tinker with the sound settings, but to no avail.. if anyone has experienced the same please let me know

im talking about the MerlinVR/USharpVideo prefab

[wind atlas]

I had a similar issue a long time ago and fixed it by changing to a different output device under window's audio settings.

Try setting it to the NVIDIA High Definition Audio, if you have that, or a similar one that also receives all the audio.

[pure copper]

thanks i will try it

[latent fjord]

hello sirs, which admin can I reach out to about commission a risk board game prefab, thank you ...

[graceful warren]

hmm. How can I make a particle system a child of the localplayer?

[graceful warren]

I'm trying to have a particle system that follows the player around in the world

last bit there is setting the parent. Error is that it can't convert VRCPlayerApi to UnityEngine.Transform. So how am I meant to set the parent of the object to the local player?

[indigo finch]

You can't. Instead, create an empty, with a script that on update --->>transform. set position = playerApi. Get position.

Also, make sure to store the local player as a variable, to avoid it running networking, get local player every frame

[graceful warren]

so that instead for the localplayer?

nope

[indigo finch]

Do that on start

[graceful warren]

oh then I already had that

I tried that

[mellow agate]

Any pointers on how to make a variable movement speed zone in U#, basically a gradient of sorts? Hopefully my sketch makes sense.

[wind atlas]

The player instance has some options to set movement speed you should check out if you haven't already.
Then you'd create bounds for the zone. While inside, you can use the distance from the player to the upper bound and divide it by the height.

[mellow agate]

The area is horizontal, but I get the idea, thanks

[wind atlas]

I forgot to write that you'd obviously use that factor to multiply with your maximum movement speed. But maybe you got that too.

[river musk]

does anyone know how player audio works? Im trying to add certain areas you can hear player's voices from further away from normal but Anything I do doesnt work. Can someone help on this please?

When a user entere that area you need to turn up their voice far and then you'll be able to hear them further away

[river musk]

I did that, doesnt work.

What value did you set it to?
It does work. I use it often.

And are you sure the trigger is setting the value on then correctly

[river musk]

I set it as far as 200 but no change

[pallid roost]

Got a screenshot of your code?

[river musk]

I erased it after hours of different attempts. I had too much stress

[pallid roost]

https://github.com/ModerateWinGuy/USharp-Scripts/blob/master/DJBooth.cs#L2

That's my script that I use to do it

[river musk]

I'll try it out

[pallid roost]

You just need to add a box ider over the area you want to be louder. Make sure to check the is trigger box on it, attach that script to it and set the volume to whatever you like

[river musk]

It Actually works, Thank you!

[pallid roost]

👍 glad to help

[stark crescent]

I have 3 sets of avatars I want to put in a world with buttons corresponding to them, how do I make buttons that toggle off when another is pushed but also turn off when they're pushed again? I'm new to udon and can't find a tutorial on this

[pallid roost]

There are lots of ways to do it. The simplest wojld be to just have one button turn the other two off when you click it, and vice versa for all the other ones

[stark crescent]

I'm aware, I just don't know how to but I'll try

[stark crescent]

could anyone teach me how to do this quickly if it isn't a hassle?

[indigo finch]

Close, but you still need to define what the local player is on start, otherwise the 'object won't be set to an instance of an object'

[mellow agate]

What's the equivalent of this set of blocks in U#?

Or basically, how to add an argument for the referenced UdonBehaviour?

Definitely missing something here

[grand temple]

nameof is for something different, you just want Counter.name

[mellow agate]

Still a bit confused, what is "name" supposed to be in this context?

As far as I understand, there are two parts to it:
The event name that I'm evoking
UdonBehaviour that I'm sending it to
Which goes where?

[grand temple]

.name is the name of the gameobject that this component is attached to

[mellow agate]

Kind of like this?

[grand temple]

I can't answer your question because I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish, but I can at least say that seems really weird

[mellow agate]

Alright, a high-level overview then
I got a bunch of objects with OnTriggerEnter events that are supposed to send a Custom Event to a different object (a door) that in turn counts the events and performs certain actions above a threshold

[grand temple]

ok then two things:

1. why are you just sending a custom event of some random object's name? What if there is no event with that object's name? Wouldn't it make sense to hard-code a specific event?
2. you probably don't want to react to all ontriggerenter events. You probably want to verify that the object you're detecting is the correct one. First you should always make sure that the object is valid with Utilities.IsValid, then you can check something like the name or the layer and make sure it's correct

[tall vault]

Give your Counter method a different name so it doesn't conflict with the member variable and use nameof(NewCounterMethodName)

[grand temple]

oh yeah, it's not uncommon to use nameof() in sendcustomevent, but that's not because it's getting the name of some object. That might be where the confusion is. It's getting the name of the function that you want to call. And if you plug the name of the function into sendcustomevent, it will call that function. There is functionally no difference between SendCustomEvent(nameof(NewCounterMethodName)) and SendCustomEvent("NewCounterMethodName"), the only reason why people would do nameof is so that it maintains a hard link and the code editor knows they're related. So that when you right click rename something, it renames all instances of them properly instead of losing that connection

but none of this should be relevant if this function is on the same udonbehaviour. You can just do NewCounterMethodName();, no need to get sendcustomevent involved at all. Sendcustomevent is only necessary if you're trying to send an event to a different udonbehaviour

[mellow agate]

>if you're trying to send an event to a different udonbehaviour
That is the case

[grand temple]

in the code examples you posted, you are sending to the same udonbehaviour. Is that not what you want?

perhaps that's why things aren't working

you need a reference to that other udonbehaviour

and then you would go OtherBehaviour.SendCustomEvent("etc etc")

[mellow agate]

And sorry, I've actually been transitioning from nodes to U#, and I don't have any formal C# knowledge, so definitely not going about it conventionally

Here is what I've been doing before when I wanted to send to a different UdonBehavior

Which worked just fine

[grand temple]

I mean it may have worked but that's so roundabout, like why are you storing the event as the name of a gameobject

you can just have... a string somewhere

[mellow agate]

Cool, finally I got it

Thank you for the help!

[grand temple]

sure, that works

[mellow agate]

Basically got confused over the dot notation

[grand temple]

that's totally valid, but if you want a more robust way to do it, you could instead do something like

let's say your counter's class is an udonsharp behaviour called CounterScript

define the reference with public CounterScript counter;

then instead of sendcustomevent, you can do counter.Count();

oh yeah, the dot notation pretty much always means you're accessing or calling something inside that object

[mellow agate]

Okay, interesting, I'll try reformatting it to your way tomorrow. Gotta go to bed though!

[hidden tundra]

Does anyone know if you can get autocompletion of procedures like this:

When typing onplayer only these two show up

If I write public override void OnPlayer.... It has the autocomplete, but not without override

[grand temple]

yeah you need the override to tell it what context you're looking for. That allows it to narrow down to what you need

[hidden tundra]

ah ok, cheers.

[hollow folio]

So I've tried to follow the "spinning cube" guide and it fails with "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I've followed two videos, both follow the same process, both error out in the same way for me. Has something changed in how this should be done now?

[vale seal]

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.visualscripting@1.7.6\Editor\VisualScripting.Core\Threading\BackgroundWorker.cs(33,33): error CS0433: The type 'ConcurrentQueue<T>' exists in both 'VRCCore-Editor, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' and 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

idk what this means

[hollow folio]

This is literally all they do in the tutorial videos so I'm not sure what I could be missing here.

[hidden tundra]

Not sure if the instance is set by default, could be not liking the fact it's empty

[hollow folio]

They don't seem to set anything in any of the tutorials and thus I'm not sure how I'd do that if it's needed.

[hidden tundra]

I think like this

[grand temple]

In the udon graph, it's not necessary to assign transforms, udonbehaviours, or gameobjects. Those will automatically reference their own object, so that's why those tutorials didn't bother. The reason why it's not working is because you're using the recttransform variant, which is for transforms inside of a canvas. Recttransforms don't do the automatic reference thing in graph and it's probably not what you're looking for anyway

[hidden tundra]

Ah good spot, somehow missed that one.

[hollow folio]

Every video just searches for "transform rotate" and finds something like this...

I can't even search for rotate after transform..

[grand temple]

Since then, the graph has been organized into categories which makes it search faster

So you search for transform first then rotate

However you can still access the old full search with tab

[hollow folio]

What do you mean "then rotate"? Do I need to click one of these before I can then search rotate?

Ah, I see it now

[grand temple]

You can go into transform, it's a whole category

You search for rotate inside the transform category

[slim hound]

Tab search isn't very useful a lot of the time though unfortunately

[hollow folio]

Yeah, the icon and name in no way imply it's a folder, it looks like a singular object. Bad UIX :/

[slim hound]

Ends up being slower if you don't guess correctly

[hollow folio]

Looks like the issue is when I blundered through it before, I ended up with a RectTransform rather than Transform.

[ruby tide]

Hey y'all, trying to change the animation applied to an avatar when they sit on a chair. I've got an animation controller using the example sittinglayer.controller where I replaced the proxy_sit animation with my own animation. Things were "working" till I figured out that sitting in the example "VRChair" prefab does.. something, and if you sit in my custom chair AFTER sitting on it, the animation of MY chair fails. It completely breaks an avatar. I've tested this with 3.0 avis and it breaks completely. Also cannot find any documentation on using animation controllers in station objects. Not on the docs or really on reddit or anywhere. Is there something I need to add to the prefab udon graph to play custom animations? Or is it something in the controller itself I need to change? If anyone has figured this out please DM me or tag me. -q

[slim hound]

Breaks in what way?

[ruby tide]

In the way that the animations just sort of.. hang? I guess?

Sit in the custom chair
animation works fine. Player is in the right spot, viewpoints are correct, get up and its fine.

Sit in the prefab chair THEN custom chair
Player is floating 3 feet above the chair, most if not all rotational values of the animation are ignored, and it loads maybe 3 quarters of the animation

[slim hound]

Do you have an uploaded world with this?

I just tried myself and there was a slight difference but not like that

[ruby tide]

I've yet to upload the world, no. I wanted to get this ironed out in the "Test" option before breaking a bunch of peoples avatars lol

[slim hound]

You could set the station to have seated disabled assuming you have it enabled on your custom chair

[ruby tide]

I thought "Seated ✅ " was part of the animation controller and how it checks whether or not to transition to the next animation?

lemme try without, sec

[slim hound]

What is your animation exactly?

[ruby tide]

So its like.. a floor couch.. thing, and having a player clip into the ground isn't exactly beuno. So the animation is basically just the player with their legs out and their arms crossed.

Ignore the fact that i'm clipping into the ground. thats just me not being great at the station transform placement. But here's an example.

So here's what it looks like when you sit in the CUSTOM chair.

And here's what happens if you sit in the chair prefab then sit BACK in my custom chair

It like.. ignores the animations position transform, and stops doing anything to the upper half of the body.

[slim hound]

Okay yeah using a sitting animation I can reproduce it

[ruby tide]

Same issue on your end too?

[slim hound]

Yeah

[ruby tide]

Oh thank gosh ok. So it isn't an issue on my end its a 3.0 bug.

Actually that kind of sucks but... yeah. alright.

[slim hound]

Yeah it's an issue with Avatar-3.0 not have the correct sitting parameter values after sitting in a default station.

[ruby tide]

Hm. I see. I guess in the case of specifically my map using a custom sitting animation on the other chairs might work till its fixed.

[slim hound]

Not in a station

After entering and exiting a default station

[ruby tide]

OH! Okay, so what borks my animation is the fact that you never actually stop sitting. Interesting.

I'm not super well versed with udon but is there a node for controlling those values?

If so, could we just use ExitStation and Get LocalPlayer to change those values?

[slim hound]

Don't think you can change those values with udon

[ruby tide]

Ah, drat. Alright. So my prior suggestion of using animation controllers on the other chairs might work then.

[slim hound]

Yeah if all your stations have custom controllers it seems this wouldn't be an issue

[ruby tide]

Well, thats a bit obnoxious but not too horrible of a band-aid fix

That totally works. Using the "vrc_avatarv3sitlayer" example prefab just on its own with "proxy_sit" as the animation works fine. Something about the default station with OUT an animation controller breaks 3.0 Avis. As long as you have an animator controller even of the default variety it SEEMS to work fine.

[ruby tide]

Thanks for your help figuring this out. You rock. -q

[orchid stag]

Hello. Is there a way to clear the data in whatever holds the information I can get from

VRCPlayerApi.GetPlayers(myPlayersArray);

?

I'm currently working on something where I want to use

myPlayersArray[i].playerId;

To assign people to buttons, but I am noticing, that if I open my world, and get my friend to join, leave, and then join back into the world, VRCPlayerApi.GetPlayers now has a lenght of three, even though we are only two players in my world.

So, is there any way to clear some data, so that even if he leaves and comes back, the data I can get will still show up as two, and his ID will still be 2?

[vagrant root]

Hey there, how I can make a gameobject to turn off instead of toggle?

[hidden tundra]

How are you controlling your object at the moment?

[vagrant root]

Just as a toggle

Lets say, i have 4 buttons that toggle a group of Avatar Pedestals. When I toggle one, everything is fine, but when I want to turn on the second one, I want the first one turns off automatically

Thats what I was doing before "Udon"

[brazen epoch]

supply SetActive with a const bool false instead of Unary negating the active state of the GameObject

[vagrant root]

ty ty

[vagrant root]

and how i do that?

first time with Udon

[unreal grail]

Anyone have a quick and easy way to assign a variable for multiple objects in editor?

[brazen epoch]

const bool in the node search. Set its value to false, then connect that node to the bool input to SetActive. Then you can delete the Get activeSelf and UnaryNegate nodes

[jade panther]

how to fix this

[elder wing]

my friend had that issue
change avatar and change back
i don't know why it happens
it always happened to her when she switched worlds

[jade panther]

i did that it didn’t work

[elder wing]

oh my bad i don't know how to help then

[jade panther]

it’s ok

[elder wing]

👌

[rocky mesa]

had this dumb idea, use midi CC to controle a cube pos/size. Currently im tryign to get from "int value" to somehow a vector3 ideas?

i think that might now be fixed but the cube doesnt move

[worldly tapir]

...are the white noodles connected?

Also, to make an object move along any axis controlled by an int, do the following:
let's define your midi cc value as "iValue"
the original position of the object will be a Vector3 called "vOriginalPos"
the direction you want your object to move in is Vector3 "vDelta".

Now, on MidiControlChange, do transform.setPosition(iValue * vDelta + vOriginalPos).

maybe add another multiplier (float) to the multiplication to define the distance.

To make it even simpler for later on, normalize the CC input to a float range of 0-1 by dividing it by 127f.
Now you can simply Lerp between the start and end position.

[unkempt seal]

To those who are fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender world, Any suggestions on the update? I'm thinking of remodeling it completely when transitioning to Udon, or just filling in the empty space

[viral fjord]

I want to play a sound and start a particle system when any player enters a driver's seat. How can I use OnStationEntered to trigger functions when a specific seat is entered?

[wind atlas]

Does the screenshot you posted not work?

[spark walrus]

do you mean to put the script on specific seats so the function-call is local to that specific seat?

how can i check if a player uses desktop or vr when picking up an object?

[wind atlas]

Since OnPickup is called locally, you can get the local player and check if they are in vr.

IsUserInVR or something like that

[rocky mesa]

Will check when home, the white arrows got connected after seei g they are required in another tutorial

[somber trellis]

If you’re referring to the avatar cam being so high, just move it down a bit in the avatar descriptor

[jade panther]

oh i didn't make that avatar

[somber trellis]

oh

[dim trellis]

If that happens a lot and with more then one avatar the way I fixed it was deleting vrc and downloading it again

[viral fjord]

Yeah. Right now it's on a random object, if I attach it to the seat object itself will OnStationEntered implicitly know that's the one I want?

[viral fjord]

No, because I need a way to specify driverSeat

[jade panther]

i will try that

[dim trellis]

Tell me If it works

[jade panther]

sometimes i can’t move the avatar hands
sometimes i can see inside it

these are the problems that i get mostly

[jade panther]

np

[wind atlas]

Just make driverSeat a public variable and drag that component into your script.

For the OnStation events to work, the udon script has to be attached to the same game object as the station.

[jade panther]

it did work

thanks

[dim trellis]

No problem

[trail palm]

i want to have a system that makes an icon appear above some users in my world. similar to how many premium worlds do it. how would i do that. i have no idea how to even start

[viral fjord]

That got it. Thanks

[trail palm]

i think prison escape has a similar system

[shut ermine]

is there a way to make a pickup make a sound once it swings

[hidden tundra]

You could check for the velocity of the tip of the object and if it's above a certain speed then you could consider it to have been swung and then play a sound.

[shut ermine]

not really a good udon coder, elaborate more into this

please,

[hidden tundra]

If the object is a pick up it will automatically have a Rigidbody component attached to it
You would attach your Udon graph/c# script to the component with pickup on it
Then you can get the rigidbody component and use Vector3.Magnitude(Rigidbody.velocity) to get the current speed of the pick up object, this would most likely be done in the Update event
Then if this velocity is ever above a set value then it will call a custom event which will use an audiosource to play a sound

If you're new to unity or udon I'd suggest you watch a few tutorials before trying to understand that, it can get quite complex for something which feels simple

[rocky mesa]

got some progress with my MIDI CC movemetn cube. it works in editor but not in VRC when building from editor, log sais Error - [Always] Error opening Default Device: Failed to open MIDI input device HostError with steam im passing the start parameter for a specific Midi device and that works. in the editor i have the same device selected and it works there aswell. ideas how to trackdown the loadign issue?

[trail palm]

im currently very confused. i get the u# error "all errors have to be fixed before you can enter play mode, but none of my few scripts are showing errors, compiling them also doesnt fix it

[trail palm]

now none of the scripts work. what is oging on? i didnt change a thing, just restarted my pc

i dont have a backup for that project and i really dont know whats going on

[thick iron]

Does anyone know how to fix this. I get it on pretty much all my avatars now and i sometimes have to rejoin the world to fix it but sometimes it doesnt even fix.

[pallid roost]

Doesn't sound like an udon question? Try #user-support-old

[pallid roost]

Try reimport all.
Go assets > reimport all

[trail palm]

i figured it out. my drive was corrupted and two meta files went missing. had to abandon the project so i simply exported my whole gameworld as a prefab into a new one. works now

[unreal grail]

Is there a way to make it so, when I have clicked on an InputField, it ignores keyboard inputs for movement?

[sinful tartan]

anyone got the time to show me how to set up a system wher i can have player clikc a butotn t oget faster or slower? edit the run and walk spee but i cant seem to figure it out

[indigo finch]

#udon-general message

not the most optimal, but it should be a good starting point ^^

[indigo finch]

perhaps you could play around with immobilize them while they are typing

[hidden tundra]

The vrchat api says there's a SetWalkSpeed procedure you can use https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/player-forces

[spark walrus]

hey, right now im controlling a animation with a slider using animator.play but this doesnt progress the animationstate, so if you change the state it plays again. How do i avoid this? I want to control the animations in the statemachine with sliders and be able to press play on them.

[torpid glen]

Lol why do you what to play with use

[spark walrus]

well play with use is not really the problem just advancing the statemaschine

[torpid glen]

I'm talking about us the animatronics

Lol

[spark walrus]

? i am confused, what do you mean?

[torpid glen]

Never mind

I was trying to be funny

Sorry

[spark walrus]

😅 well, right over my head, its fine

[torpid glen]

Lol

I am a joker animatronic I like to play pranks on people and stuff so sorry if it went over your head I should have been more specific with my joke LOL hashtag Lolbit for life

[spark walrus]

😂 when you make a joke in udon-questions and its taken as actual advice at face value

[torpid glen]

Yep

[hexed obsidian]

Is Udon program serialization machine-dependent in some way?

[cold raft]

how? not that i know off

[hexed obsidian]

Hm. Does the data contained within the serializedProgramBytesString entry contain a GUID reference to some other file, perchance?

[wind atlas]

You could try to do Immobilize(true) on the local player when you click inside the input field. I don't think input field has a on click event though, so you could try another one in the EventTrigger component.

[fiery yoke]

VRChat is terrible with inputs. Its a vr game afterall so keyboard input like that isnt really expected/supported fully.
Even if you immobilize players they can still jump. And even if you temporarily set jump strength to 0 and restore it afterwards, they can still crouch and prone...the only way I know how to avoid that is by forcing someone into a station

[wind atlas]

That's true, it will always be a bit clunky. The station is a very good idea, but I just wish we had more control over the character controller instead.

[sinful tartan]

I seen that but i cant seem ro figure how to turn those into toggles for the map.

[sinful tartan]

oh shit didnt see this. thanks fam

[strange vale]

I m making a admin panel for my world what is invisible for athere players but can my admins get banned by flying with a invisible game object what can make you fly

[dapper lion]

idk what you mean but as long as you follow tos, youll be good

[strange vale]

TOS?

And I mean you can get banned by flying but is it also with a game object idk

[dapper lion]

I don’t know what youre asking but just know that moeds are frowned opon

idk if youre actually asking anything here

[strange vale]

I m ask if you can get banned of a item what make you fly

Or do you not know what that means

[hidden tundra]

You get banned for flying?

First I've heard of that

[strange vale]

It's not the first for me

I need a admin to speak to

Or a mod or a helper

[cold raft]

you cant get banned for flying by natural ingame ways

its only a bannable offsense if you use client moddifications to do it

[strange vale]

That what I need to know thx

[trail palm]

just opened my world project like 30 minutes ago. didnt change a thing, went to build and test and now i cant jump anymore. it worked before, why is that?

i think it has something to do with udon because all udon graphs and scripts disconnected with their respective udon behaviour

i can re connect them but for that i would need to know what component makes that issue in the first place

[cold raft]

yes by default you cant jump, you need to explicity run an udon script on player join to allow a player to jump

[trail palm]

i mean it worked before, so it is in my scene somewhere. just need to find out where.

[hidden tundra]

vrcworld?

[trail palm]

probably, maybe im just dumb bc i realized the udon behaviour on the vrcworld missed a script so i added the script but forgot to actually turn on the behaviour

[rocky mesa]

is there a way to assing a default mididevice in the localbuild testworld?
if i hit play it works, cant walk aroudn
if i run it localy to test, the device selection falls back to a default device, what ever that is.
and if i build the world and upload it to VRC and open it there, the defined midi device gets loaded via start flags and the assignment works again

[leaden niche]

Hello. Question. I'm trying to add a mirror to my world and the tutorial is showing a 'trigger interact' button which my udon behavior doesn't have. It has 'send custom event' button. How does that work?

[trail palm]

i plan to add smaller rooms to my main world and want to add synced video players. im concerned about performance tho. if i follow standard syncing tutorials, will it still sync even tho the player isnt in the rooom/ the room hasnt loaded for the player? i want 8 rooms in total and dont wanna bombard players with having to recieve synced data and video data even tho they arent even watching those videos.

[pallid roost]

As long as the player is active for the user it will be syncing data.
Only way for it to not be syncing is to deactivate the object for them.

[trail palm]

how would i do that. i want them to be able to use it if they are close by, but not when they are hundreds of units away

[unborn hornet]

You can tell VRC which MIDI device to use
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/midi#device-selection---runtime

[pallid roost]

Put a trigger around the room that you want it to be active while they're inside and enable the player when they enter and disable it when they leave

[trail palm]

dam, thats a good idea and simple, im just a dum dum

[pallid roost]

No worries. I'm not sure if that'll run into issues if the owner of the object disables it though. @unborn hornet there would be the expert kn all things video player, so they might know.

[unborn hornet]

Ideally you'd leave the actual video player object and udon script(s) enabled the whole time and just disable/enable screens/meshes and mute/unmute audiosources.

[trail palm]

i mean if thats the case, arent they disabled anyway when the object isnt loaded? or do i need to manually do that

since these rooms are behind the far clipping of the cam, they shouldnt be loaded anyway for players in the main world

i just dont want that everyone has to load the video data even tho they arent close by

[unborn hornet]

That gets into the more complex situation of handling the VPs differently between the owner of the object and the other users.

Because if the owner leaves, what is the expected behaviour?

then again it is super dependent on how the syncing is done in the first place.

What is being synced, and how often is it being synced.

[trail palm]

im an udon super noob so im just following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2rnNiLeJiA&list=PLwEtUGCdQX7HMkFCVxiNvO4DS2CmHWbe6&index=17

[unborn hornet]

So that tutorial shows sync logic that enforces current time sync to the owner.

So if the owner disables the player object (thus the sync script) everyone else will have the same time being enforced to.

meaning it will play for X seconds, then jump back X seconds due to the time sync enforcement.

That'll repeat until a new owner is assigned to the game object that has the video player object enabled so they take over and become the source of truth for the time sync enforcement.

[trail palm]

but, if the next person interacts with it and becomes the new owner, wouldnt it fix itself?

if thats the only issue, im more happy with that than to crash quest players constantly

[unborn hornet]

Yes, they would become the "Source of Truth" for the video player sync data.

[trail palm]

damn, now my video player has an audio lag

[unborn hornet]

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is video players.

[trail palm]

does disableing a gameobject also kill the udon behaviour/udon script?

[unborn hornet]

It halts any Update loops and syncing.

[trail palm]

ok so if one player starts a video amd another has the gameobject disabled, it wont load anything for him and if someone that isnt the owner leaves pre maturely the video is still loaded till it ends but he wont get any updates about it right?

[scarlet lake]

I have a map I made quest compatible but when people on pc trigger events like toggles and animations, the people on quest don’t see it happen unless they toggle it themselves. How would I fix this? Same thing happens with prefabs like the pool table.

[trail palm]

is your quest version any different than the pc version? the optjects have to be in the exact same hierachy position. if not, the syncing breaks

and the names of the objects need to be identical too

[scarlet lake]

They are the exact thing minus me deleting point lights and replacing it with a directional light

[scarlet lake]

I also changed out shaders for water and deleted a food prefab that did not work on quest

[trail palm]

then it wont work. you need to have both point and directional lights in the same position in the hierachy and just disable them respectively, you cant delete objects or replace them

shaders and components dont matter

[scarlet lake]

Ahh

Gotcha

Thank you!

[trail palm]

maybe just changeing the names of the lights to match might fix it

just make sure they are in the same place on the left hierachy and have the same name. just rename the directional lights to "point lights and it might fix it

[scarlet lake]

Rock on. Didn’t realize I shouldn’t have deleted stuff and should have just disabled it lol

[trail palm]

the hierachy needs to be the same. everything else doesnt matter

[unborn hornet]

IIRC (devs can correct me if I'm wrong), the naming doesn't matter any more. Specifically the ordering of all the udon behaviours (or VRCObjectSync components) in the hierarchy is what matters.

So as I understand it, the networkID (what udon uses to coordinate networking between behaviours across clients) would be something like root/1/2/1 instead of root/My Game Object/Some other one/MyUdonBehaviourObject

NetworkID is not a path, it is a number. That number corresponds with the order in which the object was found when the network ID assigning process searched the scene for udonbehaviours. I believe that process uses something like getcomponentsinchildren on all the scene roots.

[unborn hornet]

🤔

Ok that makes sense I suppose. Slightly less deterministic unfortunately...

[trail palm]

just to reconfirm bc im a dum dum. i currently have this. the game object is inside the trigger area and the player should only have it enabled if he himself too is in the trigger area, as soon as he leaves it should be disabled. is this the corrent way? or would a "OnPlayerTriggerStay" node make more sense

[scarlet lake]

Hey there, everything works now except an animation toggle I have that makes a stage go up and down. People on quest don’t see it unless they click the button themselves, do you know the fix for that one?

[trail palm]

nope, in this case i have no idea

[tepid salmon]

@trail palm yor script not checking if the local player enter in the trigger so it not checking who enter and gona fire i think for all or radom nonidea on that i am not expert

I remeber wen i done that onmy teleport script my friend an i teleportet was funny

[trail palm]

like this then?

[tepid salmon]

Yes

For both its like toggle if it would not fire for the local it would mess thinks up

[trail palm]

is there a way to reload all behaviours in a game object hierachy on a trigger enter? right now it works, but as soon as the game object is disabled, no udon stuff works after it has been re enabled.

something like this

[indigo finch]

Sounds like your follow a sdk2 tutorial. I would recommend check out Sssami - サササミ's video on the topic for sdk3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUALbgztU5Y

[rocky mesa]

The startparameter is already in place for the normal startup of VRC. My problem is the build that the editor spits out when hitting the "build and test" button. Just using the "play" button in the top center works. I guess ill have to test that way and build/release it and then test

[gloomy fog]

how to make a private room like how b club has there vip room im a noob at coding i been asking about 16 people how to they just ignore me

i want to learn whitelising

[rocky mesa]

Button inside the room that disables the outer button?

[indigo finch]

lol. This video was set to come out an hour after you posted. Hope it helps ^^
https://youtu.be/ifJcPZV8T4U

[gloomy fog]

Thank you so much

[slate wing]

I'm having issues with rounding a float to the second decimal place in udon. Supposed to be able to do it with maths.format in C Sharp but udon doesn't seem to support it properly and just makes it a whole number. it doesn't even have a second option for a decimal rounding place

[slim hound]

Not sure if there is a better way to do it by now but I have used something like float.Parse(string.Format("{0}", FloatVariable.ToString("F2")));

[slate wing]

i'm sadly using nodes cuz idk where the correct csharp to udon plugin is

otherwise i'd use that

[slim hound]

Yeah hold on you can do this in graph too

So this would be the input on the left output on the right

Actually the format part is probably redundant

[slate wing]

ahhh ok, sadly googling IFormatProvider wasn't helpful but i understand this

i belive so

most things i saw just used F2

[slim hound]

Yeah just from memory I was using format when I needed to round floats

So yeah not actually needed here

[slate wing]

ok thanks!!

[smoky saffron]

Quick question

[slate wing]

i don't think i know the answer but you could make another collider that it doesn't hit and do "on enter trigger" so plays the sound when it enters the collider then make the disk collider "is trigger" active

oh and if that works make sure there's a time delay so it doesn't play it a million times in case unity is dumb for some reason

[smoky saffron]

One step forward and two steps back...

[wind atlas]

You could try setting the collision detection of the rigidbody to continuous, if you haven't done that already.

[smoky saffron]

Still no dice

So I found a solution... if I use a box collider vs the mesh collider they don't blip through... they don't role down the hill like they would rl but if you dont know that they did with the mesh collider you probably would not notice. any how, I have disk that stay above the terrain and make chain sounds.... progress is progress

[tall vault]

I had similar issues with cards in my card deck falling through the table until switching to a box collider, mesh colliders seem to struggle in general

[maiden sable]

How do I call a custom method with a value when pressing a ui button?

[indigo finch]

this is better asked in #user-support-old

[timid veldt]

Apologies

[indigo finch]

no worries

[lament valve]

Is it possible to get a player's join date through udon?

[ionic girder]

Is there a way to add a second delay to a gameobject being toggled?
All other objects can be toggled when the trigger is being pressed but I need something that adds a delay on another object.. anyone know?

[indigo finch]

the easiest way is to send a UdonBehaviour, sendCustomEventDelayedBySeconds, and have it call an event that toggles the other object

[ionic girder]

Thank you ill try

[ionic girder]

So uhm, this feels incorrect - need a bit of help there.
I dont understand the part you said "call an event"
On the left side on the graph you dont see are more toggles and the event, interact

[indigo finch]

I did a video on it a while ago... see if this helps clear some confusion: https://youtu.be/0yMwbl25k3c

[ionic girder]

I'll check it out.

[ionic girder]

I watched it like 10 times now, but am still not sure if I get it right.
I'm trying to make that a reflection probe will be active after 1-2 seconds, because of the day/night switch

[indigo finch]

you were close, but you want the delayed event to play all your logic, instead of the interact node doing so

[indigo finch]

you also don't need it to be on another script. That was just part of the video. you can call a delayed event on the same script, like was shown at the end of that video, with the networked event being called after 5 seconds

[dapper wolf]

I can't get the mirror to reflect the local player despite playerlocal being enabled

[ionic girder]

The other script was confusing me so much. Alright i'll try that too, didnt try the networked one. Thank you

[indigo finch]

the actual calling of the networked event was just the video topic, not what I was trying to get you to do. sorry for the confusion 😅

[prisma prism]

trying to do something when both grips are gripped, any ideas how to do this?

[grand temple]

when both grips are gripped, you receive two separate events. It is impossible to receive a single event where it is simultaneously equal to both right and left

what you need to do is set a couple bool variables indicating whether or not the left or right is gripped. Then when you receive the event for left, check if the right is gripped. When you receive the event for right, check if the left is gripped

[torn pendant]

anyone who is willing for an interview about udon?
I would need someone who has experience using it.

[ebon basin]

how do i make a scroll text for names from patreon like Jar does in their game worlds. Where ite scrolls down with a huge list of names

[agile harbor]

I’m getting desperate, for about a month ive been trying to get pens to work to no avail and no one with any answers… I have pens they dont draw, please how Do I make them leave trails and actually draw

[trail palm]

never done pens myself, but you could download some prefabs and either use them directly or try to see how they are made and figure it out yourself

[agile harbor]

Ive tried 3 different pen prefabs and only qt pens work on quest and I literally just drag the whole prefab and place it in the scene, my other world making friends have the same issue and know one knows how they work, the only tutorial is from 2 years ago on youtube and uses “basic assets” pack which doesnt even work on the newest sdk

[torpid river]

hey yall, im having issues with the OnPlayerTriggerEnter event. 1 issue im having is that if its a teleport command, whoever enters it will teleport along side everyone else in the world at the same time, the other issue is that it can only be used once. i am lost here

basically i just need help making a simple player enter trigger event that i can use and will work reliably

this is what i have, just trying to start an audio click and set a game object active, but its a one time use for anyone in the world which i just cant figure out why

[grand yarrow]

don't know if this is the right place to ask but, how could I make an object I attach to an avatar glow and light up its surroundings?

[trail palm]

i dont think thats possible at all

[grand yarrow]

but I've seen avatars with sparks that light up my avatar?

like particles

or is that a different thing

[trail palm]

hmm, that i dont know. are you sure they actuall illuminated you or was it just bloom? if its bloom it is a part of the world, not the avatar

[slim hound]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PartSysLightsModule.html

[grand yarrow]

Thanks!

[grand yarrow]

Yes they did

[scarlet lake]

Why did udon eat my noodles

Cuz it wanted to suck

Hahahaa

Sfw jokey

[indigo finch]

Perhaps try this tutorial I made 2 months ago: https://youtu.be/ioR7ymWRYag

Otherwise, iconoclass did a more general prefabs tutorial that might help

[agile harbor]

I used that tutorial lol

video was good!

[indigo finch]

^^

[indigo finch]

An udon script only working once usually means its crashing near the end (thus you don't notice what it's not doing). If I were to hazard a guess, one of your audio sources isn't set up in the inspector

[cosmic pike]

Hey guys I'm wondering, does this tutorial work at all anymore? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fqFmqBDSNU

Has anyone given it a go? I went through it and none of the buttons respond to my inputs. The Udon graph compiles just fine and the graph seems to make perfect sense, but I cannot even get the buttons to highlight when I aim at them and click them.

[trail palm]

it still works. probably an issue where button event names dont quite match up or something like that. but it definitley still works

[cosmic pike]

Weirdly, none of my buttons are working at all. Other commenters are chiming in with the same issues.

The graph is super simple. It should work. I don't see why absolutely none of the buttons would work.

You'd think that the button would at least highlight and there would at least be some blue line from my hand to the button

[trail palm]

i followed this exact tut a few days ago to get familiar with video players and everything worked fine

[cosmic pike]

zero interaction happening. I can't even slide the slider. I'm utterly dumbfounded. I've built countless canvas controllers in the past.

I would understand it if the buttons weren't controlling the video. But they're not even responding to any inputs

Another world I have where the slider components work just fine. I've back-to-back compared and I have absolutely no clue what's going on or why this is not working.

It must be a different SDK version. I have no other explanation for why a slider wouldn't slide when I put my mouse on it. I understand if it wasn't controlling the video player, but, in this case, it flat-out isn't even responding to any mouse input.

the canvas on which it rests has the VRC UI Shape component

[indigo finch]

Sanity check here, but is it on the right layer?

[cosmic pike]

That's exactly the kind of sanity check I was looking for. This sounds like exactly the kind of problem that would lead to the buttons not responding. It's supposed to be on the default layer, right?

[indigo finch]

Default or walk through

[cosmic pike]

That must be exactly what the problem was then. Let me verify. Thanks for that suggestion!

I knew it had to be some dumb thing like that, like "did you forget to plug it in" kind of thing

[indigo finch]

Glad I could help ^^

[cosmic pike]

Hoooly crap thank you. That's precisely what it was. That was the one thing I didn't think to check. I knew I was missing something

Now everything works, and the controllers properly control the video

[brisk onyx]

Ive got a question how do i import a character in vrchat, none of the yt vids are helpful

[ionic girder]

I guess i need your help again XD
I wouldn't know how to do it without another script. I got this now, but now i dont know whats wrong with it. I feel like the main script cant see the other script. Does the other script have to be on an game object cause I cant fill in the public variables, thats the only thing i can think of.

[indigo finch]

I feel like my video tutorial may have lead you astray...

It's much easier to do it on the same script.

First select everything on your second script, and copy and paste it into the first graph. Then delete these two nodes. You don't need anything plugged into the instance slot, and when you delete the string, it will show a dropdown of all the custom events on the script

[crystal widget]

whenever i get teleported, i just get stuck and cant even open launch pad

[ionic girder]

Probably.. 🥴 Udon still very new for me so I guess it did.
So i got this now.. when i test it the toggle works but still no delay in the reflection probe gameobject

[indigo finch]

Your udon code is right. Something else is causing the problem, or just the teleport location

[crystal widget]

Hmmm okie, I’ll mess around with the locations and see what the problem is
Very much appreciated ❤️

[ionic girder]

Thanks alot i'll try this out x)

[ionic girder]

It works finally xD Thank so much for your help i appreciate it

I see the logic now

[slim jacinth]

I'm currently using Udon# to make some new components.
I was wondering if it was possible to detect whether a game object has entered a trigger, I've currently got OnPlayerTriggerEnter, which works fine. But I'd like to also detect gameobjects of a certain layer or possibly certain tag? Then reference that object in the event and adjust it's velocity.

Is this possible?

[grand temple]

That would just be regular ontriggerenter. The gameobject you want to detect must have a Collier and rigidbody.

[slim jacinth]

how would I tell it apart from other game objects?
I've got this on the trigger that is already detected the player:

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("SOMETHING ENTERED");
    }

But it isn't logging when the object enters the trigger

And here is the game object I want to interact with the trigger

[wind atlas]

"that is already detected the player" <- Are you sure about that?
You can't detect the player with your line of code. You need to use Udon's special methods "OnPlayerTriggerEnter" for that.

[slim jacinth]

Sorry, I should have said
public override void OnPlayerTriggerStay(VRCPlayerApi player)
this is already detecting the player

that line before is me trying to detect this gameobject, they are both on the same script

[wind atlas]

Turn IsTrigger on

[slim jacinth]

That is already enabled on the trigger

[wind atlas]

Ah, the screenshot you posted didn't. Can you post the object that has the trigger and the script you are using?

[wind atlas]

Also, what layers are both objects on?

[slim jacinth]

I've check the physics tab with the collision matrix and they both match.
Here's the trigger and script:

using UdonSharp;
using UnityEngine;
using VRC.SDKBase;
using VRC.Udon;

public class WaterVolume : UdonSharpBehaviour
{

  public float waterLift = 0.15f;
    public float minLift = 0.1f;
    public float maximumLiftSpeed = 2.5f;
    private Vector3 playerVelocity = new Vector3();
    private BoxCollider boxCollider;

    public GameObject splash;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("SOMETHING ENTERED POOL");
    }
}

This is the gameobject I'd like to trigger the trigger

the trigger is on the "water" layer, but I've checked the collision matrix, and they match up

[wind atlas]

It seems fine from quickly looking at it. Make sure that you actually see both colliders entering each other in the scene. Maybe someone else might have more ideas.

[slim jacinth]

Strange right?? It's things like this that drive me mad hahaha

OH WOW, ok, I'm stupid, I had my debug messages hidden in the console log......

thankyou for the help... I'm going to sneak away now

[wind atlas]

Oof, yeah that would do it.

[slim jacinth]

physics are jank for now... BUT one step closer

[ionic girder]

Is there a way to trigger an animation when a gameobject hits a collider? (automatically)

[slim jacinth]

it's not a bug, it's a feature...

[restive hare]

I have this Udon graph and it is supposed to turn on and off a mirror but isn't working. What is going wrong?

[sweet minnow]

Hello everyone, I really need your help. I recently started playing vrchat again. The only problem is when I started playing again I couldn't get into my home map. I therefore had to delete steam as well as the game. I downloaded it again but now my game is blurry, I have 18fps and there is a blur effect that follows the contours of my character. You should know that I have downloaded the latest Pilots from Geforece experience and I have directx 12 to install, I hope you could help me I can't find a solution

[rough geyser]

Anyone know what could be causing this issue with the builder in a world? I don't have any errors in my logs, and I don't have any exterior scripts like Udon Sharp currently. I'm using Bakery as my lightmapper too. Tried reimporting the SDK without any luck.

[hollow folio]

Does Udon have no simple "toggle enabled" or "toggle bool state" node?

Every guy I try and follow appears to be too out of date to be usable anymore and none of the functionality exists or matches.

e.g. I'm trying to follow this...

But "Op unary" doesn't exist, "Game object get active self" doesn't exist.. etc.

[hidden tundra]

afaik it's just set active and unary negation. The parts before aren't in the search

[hollow folio]

No matches for "unary"

[slim hound]

You have to search for the type and then the function for that type

[hollow folio]

Ack, that's doing to make things fiddly until I become more familiar with it.

[scarlet lake]

I'm getting the following error when I try to upload my world:

  An exception occurred during EXTERN to 'VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApi.__GetTrackingData__VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApiTrackingDataType__VRCSDKBaseVRCPlayerApiTrackingData'.

And it links to this line in my code:

Vector3 playerHeadPos = LP.GetTrackingData(VRCPlayerApi.TrackingDataType.Head).position;

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've uploaded this world before with the exact same line of code without issue; reimporting the project's assets doesn't help.

[unborn hornet]

VRCPlayerAPI references don't exist during upload (it works fine in-game though). If it's preventing you from uploading, you likely have Error Pause on. Uncheck it to allow upload.

[shut ermine]

hi is there like a soft banning script, like i type in some names and then it just boots them back to their homeworld

[covert maple]

does anybody know why its not working im trying to make a teleport admin room button

[indigo finch]

seems you just forgot to connect the teleport node to the true of the branch node

[covert maple]

ohh

[indigo finch]

^^

[covert maple]

will i still be able to have certain peoples names that can enter the room

[indigo finch]

yup. the true from the branch node only plays for those on the list

[covert maple]

oh word🙏🏾

[scarlet lake]

Hey guys, iv been messing around with Toly's Combat System for awhile now (a couple months) and so far, what i'v figured out is: Getting custom weapon models to work with the scripts, modifying the settings of the weapons to be more unique to each weapon rather than a super fast spray, i'v figured how to make the bullets push objects. I have figured out how custom bullet models, trails and effects.

However there is some things I am struggling to figure out.

How to add a health system to an object, this is tricky because since I don't know much about what the script does, it makes it hard to properly set it up and work.

I have tried attaching the healthmanager script to an object and changing the setting multiple times to no avail.

2nd problem I have run into, bullets & their effects like a trail become completely invisible when I turn on raycast damage.
When raycast damage is toggled on, the objects do not get pushed anymore either which makes me wonder if it even does damage to objects. It only does damage to players when it is toggled on.

Has anyone here worked with Toly's Combat System before? I am trying my best to figure out a working combat system so I can bring more gun pvp worlds to VRChat

This is the link to the system if anyone wants to look as well https://github.com/Toly65/UdonCombatSystem/releases

[scarlet lake]

I should also mention the playerhit boxes dont work 95% of the time in local testing, not sure if that will be the same result when i do it against other people

[candid frigate]

Is there any way to check tags on an object in Udon? Is there more Udon-y way to do this?

if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy") { ... }

[slim jacinth]

I found checking layers seems to work

if (collision. collider. gameObject. layer == LayerMask. NameToLayer("LAYER_NAME"))

[candid frigate]

Thanks

[slim jacinth]

Np 😊

[candid frigate]

Custom layers will work once I've uploaded right?

Oh, shucks, I think I broke my project trying to import ClientSim...

The first one seems to be the SDK installed via the unitypackage, and the last two seems to be the ones from git using the instructions to install ClientSim. Which one is safe to delete?

[indigo finch]

ClientSim requires the unitypackage SDK. You can't also have a sdk version from the vrchat website in the same project afaik

[candid frigate]

I didn't realize that until it was too late.

[indigo finch]

I would recommend sticking with cyanemu until client sim is more integrated (coming soon)

[candid frigate]

I just removed all of them, and reimported the unitypackage version of the SDK, that seems to have fixed it.

[indigo finch]

yea, easier than troubleshooting what you may have missed

[restive hare]

How do I place a chair in a world?

[scarlet lake]

Hey @restive hare I recommend using this asset for chairs, the set up is very easy

https://kamishirolab.booth.pm/items/3052333

1. Grab the prefab chair from its folder in unity
2. line up the chair with your in game chair
3. turn off the mesh renderer on the chair prefab (the AA Chair)
4. test it in game to see if the outline and option to sit shows up
   if it does, then you should be set

it may be a little tricky at first to get used to setting up but you'll get used to it

now for a slightly more advanced thing, if you dont want a huge outline of a chair as your option to sit you can modify the AA Chair's box collider outside to what you want

here is an image guide

click the AA chair and drag into the scene

head on over to your higharchy

click the arrow next to AA Chair

click on station

on your inspector you will see this

click on the edit collider icon here

your collider outline will have boxes on it

click those little cubes to adjust where you want to collider to be

for example

once you have your desired outline you are set, just turn off the mesh renderer which is located on the chair model

thats all you need to do to setup the AA Chair prefab, just make sure you line up the AA Chair inside of a new chair like this

I hope this helps you out with getting chairs in your world @restive hare if you have any problems let me know

[fathom furnace]

Does anyone know a good Udon-compatible alternative to the GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag method?

[candid frigate]

@fathom furnace This

You're limited to the 10 open layers though

[fathom furnace]

Ahh, I would need a way then to find all GameObjects in the scene in a particular layer

Not just on-collision

[candid frigate]

You could loop through every game object (which might be what that function does)

But it'll be much slower in udon

But you could do it once and then just keep the list until it changes

Or even run FindGameObjectsWithTag() in an editor script bypassing udon entirely.

[fathom furnace]

Would that script actually execute?

Cause if that's the case I could do a bunch of useful stuff that way if it will be more performant

[candid frigate]

It would only run in the editor, so if the list of Marbles never changes during the game, you can just pre-generate the list in the editor.

[fathom furnace]

Ahhh, I see

It would change during execution so I'll have to try the layers thing

Is there no Udon way to access tags at all?

[candid frigate]

Doesn't seem like it

[fathom furnace]

Ahh, okay

Layers it is then

[candid frigate]

I'm new to Udon but not Unity, so hopefully I'm wrong though

[fathom furnace]

You said you're limited to the 10 open layers, do you mean these? Or a custom 10?
