[hasty moss]

In editor runtime?

[ripe flower]

yes

or in a normal built runtime

[hasty moss]

Do you have something like this?

[hasty moss]

In editor was option to do it

[foggy prism]

on the controllers?

or what

[hasty moss]

You need to press play and then somewere it will be

[hasty moss]

Yea

[foggy prism]

imma try it

[hasty moss]

If no, I can send you a prefab with this

[foggy prism]

it doesnt work, but the controllers are now facing forward and is above me, because then it wasnt like it

?

[hasty moss]

try this

[foggy prism]

these are cubes?

if yes i want these but alright

also whats this?

@hasty moss

[hasty moss]

Erase

[hasty moss]

Test on it

[foggy prism]

works!

uh one thing tho

can i grab with these?

[ripe flower]

I dont think it's working, I only have one camera, but I see both in the game view

any other ideas?

[hasty moss]

No

You have to write your own script

[tame bane]

its the primary button on the right controller when i press it nothing happens

@hasty moss

[tame bane]

@hasty moss

[hasty moss]

Where you press the button?

Because I don't see it

[tame bane]

the A button

[ripe flower]

pretty sure they mean the script where you press it

[hasty moss]

YES

[tame bane]

oh

that makes a ton of sense now

should i use an if statment

[hasty moss]

Yes

[tame bane]

whats the best way to write that

in the void

[hasty moss]

In update

You can use OVR

[tame bane]

what do you mean by ovr?

[hasty moss]

OpenVR

[tame bane]

ok

right now im using quest and then building it on to the headset

have i been doing that wrong

@hasty moss

[foggy prism]

@hasty moss is openvr like steamvr?

[hasty moss]

Yea

But easier

[hasty moss]

Probably

[tame bane]

how should i write the if statement sorry im new to this a bit

[ripe flower]

void Update()
{  
  if(input.IsPressed())
  {
    //the code to do when pressed
  }
}
```just a standard if statement

[tame bane]

ok

[tame bane]

i got an error

[ripe flower]

the "input" needs to be whatever your input action reference for the press would be

[tame bane]

so primarybutton

@ripe flower

[ripe flower]

I guess

you'll need the reference to it

and make sure it's enabled

on start

[tame bane]

ok

[foggy prism]

what is this in xr grab interactable?

[tame bane]

so what would this look like

[ripe flower]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputAction inputAction;
    void Start()
    {
        inputAction.Enable();
    }
    void Update()
    {
        if(inputAction.IsPressed())
        {
            //do the stuff you want to do
        }
    }
}

[tame bane]

i got this

error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'InputAction.IsPressed()'

[ripe flower]

because you have to set the action in the inspector

[tame bane]

like this

[ripe flower]

yup

[tame bane]

i had that before

[ripe flower]

send your code

[tame bane]

what code

[ripe flower]

the script

[tame bane]

ok

[ripe flower]

replace InputAction with jumpActionReference

[tame bane]

ok

thats what i thought

where do i replace it

@ripe flower

[ripe flower]

change InputAction.Enable(); to jumpActionReference.Enable(); and InputAction.IsPressed() to jumpActionReference.IsPressed()

and also switch InputActionReference jumpActionReference; to InputAction jumpActionReference;

[tame bane]

ok

@ripe flower error CS1061: 'InputAction' does not contain a definition for 'Action' and no accessible extension method 'Action' accepting a first argument of type 'InputAction' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[ripe flower]

remove .action, since now you have the action

[tame bane]

ok done

with no errors

[tame bane]

This came up

@ripe flower

[ripe flower]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class playerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private InputActionReference jumpAcitonReference;
    [SerializeField] private float jumpForce = 500;

    private Rigidbody _body;
    private bool IsGrounded => Physics.Raycast(new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 2f, transform.position.z),
        -transform.up, 2f);
    private void Start()
    {
        jumpAcitonReference.action.Enable();
        _body = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        jumpAcitonReference.action.performed += OnJump;
    }
    private void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (!IsGrounded) return;
        _body.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce);
    }
}

[tame bane]

?

[ripe flower]

the update function was not necessary because you are already subscribing to the performed callback

that is the script

but fingers crossed working

[wintry fiber]

okay, so i got this bit of code that tracks the position of my camera and applies it to the collider i'm using, how can i make it track the rotation too?

Vector3 temp = camera.transform.position - this.transform.position;
        temp.y = collider.transform.position.y;

        collider.center = temp;

[pastel swan]

Look for the Position Constraint and Rotation Constraint components

[mellow rain]

im trying to make a small fps and I'm doing the reload system, now I have done that but now Im trying to track the number of ammo left in teh mag the problem I have is that I cant really know if the first mag is the second so when I track the ammo all of the mags would be out of ammo after teh first one, is there any way to track ammo efficiently instead of creating a diff script for each mag?

[pine bison]

My approach to this would be to have a simple script on each magazine that stores how many bullets it has. Then when you load it in the gun you can check, and every time you shoot you can decrement the count

[mellow rain]

is the variable stored across multiple scripts or no?

[north path]

Ole's way is the most common one. Have seen that a lot

And it's only stored on the magazine script @mellow rain
You simply read that value in your gun script and your ammo count script

[mellow rain]

ill try thx

the problem is when theres another magazine it still uses the same variable and the same scruipt so it'll still be empty or half empty

if it matters im using static variables to do it cuz I couldn't find any other way to call a variable from a diff script

[pine bison]

Static means it's shared across all instances of the script. That won't work

It just needs to be a public int

[mellow rain]

well how do I call it then?

cuz every way I found didnt work

[pine bison]

You need a reference to your magazine

How are you loading the gun now, do you have a snapzone?

[mellow rain]

yea

well I can set a refrence but wont that be only for that one magazine?

[pine bison]

No. Whenever you load your gun with a magazine, you update your reference to that new magazine

So in your gun script, you have a variable called loadedMagazine or something

[mellow rain]

of type game object?

[pine bison]

No, of type MagazineScript or whatever you called it

[mellow rain]

ok

[pine bison]

And whenever you snap a magazine in place, you set loadedMagazine to the new magazine, by using GetComponent on the snapped object

That way, you now have access to loadedMagazine.bulletCount in your gun script

[mellow rain]

GetComponent<>() then whats inside the <>?

[pine bison]

Your magazine script

[mellow rain]

ooh ok thx ill see if it works!

[mellow rain]

its giving me a null refrence even tho I did get component

fixde it

I needed to do findObjectOfType

then it worked

nvm in both cases it just picks up only one mag

I managed to make getComponent work by also searching for a tag

[pine bison]

You don't wanna use the Find methods. They are very bad for performance

And it's not gonna give you the right reference

You should have a method that is called when you snap, that gives you the snapped object as a parameter

[mellow rain]

yea I figured that

I do

wait what?

it does

?

[pine bison]

What does your function look like

[mellow rain]

loadedMag = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("ammo").GetComponent<noAmmo>();

this is the getComponent one

[pine bison]

Nonono

Show the whole function

[mellow rain]

k

[pine bison]

FindGameObjectWithTag will always give you the same mag, not the one you're snapping

[mellow rain]

the whole script or only the one thats callede when it snaps?

[pine bison]

Just the function first

But you can upload the whole script on pastebin and share the link

[mellow rain]

    {

        loadedMag = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("ammo").GetComponent<noAmmo>();
        numberOfAmmoLeft = loadedMag.ammoLeft;
        print("MagIn!");
    }``` the numberOfAmmoLeft is so when you take the mag out it doesnt make the magazine 0

[pine bison]

Ok so there you don't have a reference to the actual mag you're snapping

Can you show how this function is called?

[mellow rain]

https://pastebin.com/aTdjHt2C also this is the whole script sry if its spaghetti code lol

[pine bison]

Ok, so in the screenshot you can see at the top that the function is called Select Entered, with a parameter of type SelectEnterEventArgs passed

[mellow rain]

yea

[pine bison]

This means that there is information about the snapped object in the method call

[mellow rain]

so I can put in the () something like GameObject Magazine and that'll be the snapped object?

[pine bison]

So change the declaration of the function to
public void MagIn(SelectEnterEventArgs snappedObject)

[mellow rain]

oh

[pine bison]

you need to match the type

[mellow rain]

ok

[pine bison]

And then inside the function you can now do Debug.Log(snappedObject.interactableObject.name)

To see what object you're snapping

[mellow rain]

it works when I use interactable other wise its an error

[pine bison]

What does it print then? And what's the error?

[mellow rain]

no its in the script puts an error so I cant run it and its

Error    CS1061    'IXRSelectInteractable' does not contain a definition for 'name' and no accessible extension method 'name' accepting a first argument of type 'IXRSelectInteractable'```

but it works fine with interactable

[pine bison]

Aha I see

[mellow rain]

?

[pine bison]

try snappedObject.interactableObject.transform.name

[mellow rain]

yea that works

welp I managed to make it work I did GetComponent and set it as the loadedMag variable tysm!

[pine bison]

👍

[vapid vortex]

Hey, does someone know how to check if an object with an "XR Grab Interactable script" has been grabbed?

[mellow rain]

I'm pretty sure you can call a function when it is grabbed so you can set a bool or something in it

[pine bison]

Indeed I think you need to keep track of it on your own. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.0/api/UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit.XRGrabInteractable.html

[wet jewel]

Does anybody knows why my XR Rig is in the air even when I set the "Tracking origin mode" to floor, I want it to be on the ground what should I do?

[crude frost]

Good morning. How can I go about launching any VR app on my device from inside my app (click button, opens new app, while closing current app). Basically an app launcher is what I'm building. I need it to work for Pico and for Quest.

[crude frost]

since they want it to work on Pico, I searched how to do it on pico. Don't fully understand the code, but I'm gonna try it and see if it works on quest too 😬 https://devanswers.pico-interactive.com/index.php?qa=1679&qa_1=start-launch-any-application-in-the-right-mode

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss so for the fix you thought of(checking for the button press, moving it to the hand, disabling colliders, then when pressed again it drops) that would be like I click I pickup then I click again and it drops. Is tehre any way for when I let go of the button it drops?

[proud umbra]

^ you do, you can't edit their scripts so you can't add variables

[crude frost]

Check your camera offset position.

[mellow rain]

is there a good way to make a jump? I have all the inputs setup but I cant find a jump that works

(I have a rb and collider)

[hasty moss]

Record that

[proud umbra]

?

Also my oculus is no longer being recognized...

[hasty moss]

Record your problem

[proud umbra]

not a problem just a question. Rn it would click then go to my hand, then click again and it drops. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so I hold the button to hold the item and when I let go it drops

[proud umbra]

also this lol^ was there something else I needed to do lol

[hasty moss]

Which collider do you disabled?

[proud umbra]

box collider on the item in grabbing so the raycast goes through it

[proud umbra]

also did I need to do anything else or did something mess up @hasty moss?

cuz I can't build to test anything

[hasty moss]

I would do it in other way

[proud umbra]

?

wdym

[hasty moss]

The easiest way is to when you realase the item from your hand

And it collide with belt slot

[proud umbra]

wdym

I dont get it

cuz how do I check if im still holding it if the box collider is off

do I just turn it off when I push the button down and then drop when I let go of the button?

[proud umbra]

so how do I fix this for testing @hasty moss?

cuz I can't test rn

do I need to do something else or did it just break

[hasty moss]

Restart PC

ANd connect Quest on Cabel

[proud umbra]

yea I have that

but ok I guess ill try to restart :(

@hasty moss still not being registed... last time I had to factory reset to fix this...

bruh

[hasty moss]

Did Oculus app see your quest?

[proud umbra]

no...

bruh

[proud umbra]

do I need wifi for unity building and stuff?

[hasty moss]

No

[proud umbra]

ok cool lemme try something then

[hasty moss]

You have to restart your oculus and your PC and app

And after some time

[proud umbra]

wdym

why

[hasty moss]

Oculus will generate you a new connection code

[proud umbra]

ah gotcha

[hasty moss]

trun off and turn on

[proud umbra]

kk

aight I got it

I switched cables, for some reason my other one wasnt working

Yep it works now :)

aight gonna go make some lunch lol, tysm for your help :D Ill do more in a bit

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss oh wait how do i check what item the raycast is on

[thorn mortar]

hey guys!

i have a question about which VR plugin to use for unity

should i go for VRTK or should i Use unity XR Interaction Toolkit

can someone help me on this

also if there is a documentation link that could help it would be really nice

[crude frost]

@thorn mortar the XR Interaction toolkit is amazing. Works great with new input system.

❓ Anyone know where I can find a free generic avatar? Something that is obviously a placeholder, but still looks humanoid? Not masculine or feminine.

[thorn mortar]

@crude frost thanks for the information, I am trying to convince my boss to use XR interaction instead of VRTK so to make him believe I need some demerits of VRTK over XR interaction

if you could tell would be really nice otherwise thanks 🤩

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss do the hands go under RightController or XRControllerRight ?

[hasty moss]

This first

[proud umbra]

?

The RightController?

[hasty moss]

Yes

[proud umbra]

ok

[proud umbra]

and now how do I check what item my raycast is on and then bring it to my hand when I click the grip button?

[wintry fiber]

if there's someone capable of solving this ... time-wasting problem, here i go.
i have a Portal game in VR, and finishing it up, i have come across a bug that players can easily replicate, it's just - if the player walks in the real world, the collider stays in place, which can result in walking through walls, if you think about it.. it's a pretty easy fix, but when i tried using
capsule.transform.position = camera.transform.position;
it makes me fly into the ceiling.. if you guys have any code idea i will be eternally grateful!

i've been wasting WAY too much time on this

[ripe flower]

@wintry fiber I have a solution, you will have to set the colliders height to the camera.transform.y, and the collider.center = new Vector3(camera.transform.x, camera.transform.y/2, camera.transform.z)

And I have a question for you as well, how do you make the portals work in VR? I've been trying for the last month or so... I can't seem to get the visuals of the portals to not be messed up

[ripe flower]

if you move the transform of the collider, you are moving the whole rig, including the camera (I assume that's how your rig is set up), so what you want to change is the collider itself, by using it's height, and center properties

[wintry fiber]

sorry for responding late, i took a long shower, i can show you the portal project and share it with you in dms, also can you show me an example with the code i need?

@ripe flower

[ripe flower]

sure

[wintry fiber]

void Update()
    {
        capsule.height = camera.transform.y;

        capsule.center = new Vector3(camera.transform.x, camera.transform.y / 2, camera.transform.z);
    }

did you forget to write .transform.position. ?

or am i missing something?

[ripe flower]

the capsule variable has to be the capsule itself, and not the trasform of the capsule

but where are those errors from?

[wintry fiber]

visual studio

[ripe flower]

right, .position

yes

sorry for the misunderstanding

[wintry fiber]

no worries 🙂

[grave sandal]

Can we use unity's old input system for oculus

[storm ether]

is SRP better then URP for VR ?

[charred ledge]

Hi anyone know why the ray doesn't attach to the controller? It is just spawning on the floor.

[mellow rain]

does someone has a good jump script? I can seem to make the input system work

[pine bison]

Yes

[pine bison]

Both work. SRP has support for a lot of legacy assets, URP has all the new features and a lot of nice optimizations

[pine bison]

have you followed this jump tutorial? https://youtu.be/Mfim9MlgYWY

[lone gate]

whenever i start my test

the vr sets it to a certain fov

is there a way i can do a custom fov

[pine bison]

No, the fov is determined by the headset itself

[lone gate]

wait so theres no way to like hack it?

[pine bison]

You could try setting it in LateUpdate

[mellow rain]

I did but the rigidbody really doesnt like the collision for some reason it just glitches through the ground

[vagrant yarrow]

Yo guys, anybody knows why my app is full in pink colour after compile it? using Oculus Link is all good, I'm using URP and already tried to reset Quality in project settings.. 🙏

[vagrant yarrow]

fixed! it was OVR Manager feature "skip unneeded shaders", I checked it time ago and though it was a good setting... 😩

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss can't figure out how to do the actual grabbing system

could I have some help?

First im not sure how to check which object my raycast is on

and then idk how to bring t hat 1 specific item to my hand

Only tutorials I can find is steamvr

[hasty moss]

If tiem A collide with item B and button A and B is presed then collider.transform.position = hand.transform.position

[hasty moss]

The logic is the same

[proud umbra]

Well no cuz before I was using a premade script and just changing settings in the inspector

so idk how to do this

[proud umbra]

so do I have an empty object at the end of my raycast?

I honestly have no clue how to do this

im sorry lol

[hasty moss]

Why do you want to use raycasting?

If you wanna grab

Then check colliderss

IF colliders colide with each oter

[proud umbra]

Cuz I wanna grab from a distance if you know what I mean

[hasty moss]

and buttons fro grabing are pressed

[proud umbra]

also do I get rid of the xr ones

[hasty moss]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RaycastHit-collider.html

With this you know what your Raycast hit

[proud umbra]

which raycast do I use? the xr one?

[hasty moss]

ANd with this you can move this item

[proud umbra]

cool :D ty

[hasty moss]

The unity one

[proud umbra]

what do I change Input.mousePosition to

[proud umbra]

wdym

I have one from xr

is that what you mean

[hasty moss]

IDK why you choose a things from SDK's if you don't know how to use it

[proud umbra]

or do I disable all the xr scripts^

so I disable the xr scripts and use physics raycaster?

so I have a physics raycaster

[hasty moss]

IDK know what do this scripts

[proud umbra]

and now I add a script?

[hasty moss]

Yea

[proud umbra]

how do I check if the grip button is pressed again?

[hasty moss]

with if statment?

[proud umbra]

yea but like

whats the button pressed called

I only know keyboard or mouse

[hasty moss]

Google It

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss I feel really dumb ;-; now my camera isnt rotating, its staying fixed to the rotation of my oculus. So when I move my oculus the whole world moves 😭

is it not compatible with oculus quest 2 or smthn?

[hasty moss]

A) Do you use VR template? B) Without script and other things **I CAN NOT HELP YOU **!

This is compatible if you know what are you doing

[proud umbra]

A) Yes
B) idk what to provide for this lmao

[hasty moss]

Copy code ( and past there )? Screen shot of unity? Steps of what you did to achive this

[proud umbra]

Which code do you need

I geniunely have no clue

im new to this

I can't find any tutorials on exactly what I need

[hasty moss]

IDK I don't know your code

[hasty moss]

Use a standard Unity tutorials

Search what do you need for PC

And then port it for VR

[proud umbra]

none of them help for me ngl

But ok

sure

[hasty moss]

Create the same project from begining

And download a Oculus SDK

And set up it

[proud umbra]

which component does the moving my head around and controllers for openvr?

ive never used openvr

idk anything about it

[hasty moss]

When you create new VR template

THEN YOU DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING

Because everything works

And then you can ( doing script for ) attach items to your hands e.t.c

[proud umbra]

Think I mightve fixed it

nope, now I just cant build and run lol

like the box is literally grayed out

ughghg

oh nvm I got it lol

im an idiot

[proud umbra]

bruh it still isnt working

istg

im just going to restart :/

@hasty moss would I want a controller action based or device based?

[hasty moss]

dont change anything

[proud umbra]

?

[proud umbra]

@hasty moss help

I built my game

and its like

in a window

type thing

pleas help

[brazen tundra]

I'm trying to build my game showing the right eye instead of the left one, and it seems I have to do a code

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.XRMirrorViewBlitMode.html

However I can't understand how to do it

[restive fox]

hi all! i have a few shaders that seem to only render in one eye when using multiview, when i switch to multipass it renders in both eyes but i would love to avoid taking the hefy hit on performance by figuring out how to modify a shader to render in multiview (singlepass)

using a simple toonshader, also running things through pun2

[north path]

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

All shader graph shaders should automatically support it

[restive fox]

right, so i didnt explain my issue well enough. it seems to be more of a network issue combined with the multiview/multipass selection

even though i use the same toon shader on all of my materials, some objects synced from one client to another (in VR) only show up in one eye if on singlepass

[north path]

What material/shader does that object have in runtime?

[restive fox]

so most objects show in both eyes on singlepass just fine, except some objects that are synced through pun2 only show in one eyes

they just have a simple toon shader and most uses a texture atlas so its literally all the same material

[north path]

And does the toon shader show properly on any other model?

[restive fox]

so its something about pun not rendering properly to singlepass?

yea it shows fine on non networked objects

[north path]

Do any material properties change?
PUN shouldnt change any visual data

Are you on the latest unity version of your LTS and latest pun version?

[restive fox]

yes i’m on 2020.3.37f1 LTS and latest pun2 free package. everything runs properly. pun does not seem to be changing material properties.

currently for prototyping i make two builds, one for nonVR windows and one for PCVR windows. the difference is enabling the OVRrig and disabling the player camera (has to be there for pun’s game manager to work) in the vr build and for the nonVR build i simply disable the OVRrig.

the nonVR build can see everything including other nonVR player models and the models of the VR player as well, but for some reason multiview only allows the networked objects to appear in the left eye for VR with the rest of the environment doing fine in the right eye. right eye even includes random bits like shadows, particle effects etc. it’s perfectly fine when i switch the project to multipass but i can already feel the performance hit

plus i’m building to quest too

[chilly helm]

Go watch Valem Tutorials on YouTube, watch it all. Watch it again after that and follow along too. Then watch it again to make sure you didn't miss ANYTHING.

[snow geyser]

Can someone help me I. My gtag fan game I used normcore multi-player and kelester gorrila locomotion on Github

[north path]

I'd say make a forum post about this for better support

[north path]

Seem to miss some collision and then networking puts the player back when synced.
How is the collision matrix and does everything have colliders and player with rigidbody?

Also good news!
https://forum.unity.com/threads/urp-on-quest-2-depth-texture-enable-destroys-the-framerate.1318887/#post-8351898

[proud umbra]

tried it lol

why isn't it showing up?

oh nvm got it, what happened was I added the script from the project tab, but it showed up when I dragged it from the inspector on the object

[north path]

Add the gameobject on which the script is

Ah there ya go

[proud umbra]

Now I just gotta hope it works xD

somewhat

xD

[proud umbra]

sorry for ping, is there a way to get a video on oculus other than sending it in messenger?

liks is there a way I can send a vid here

[north path]

Usb?

[proud umbra]

oh like casting it?

lemme try that

@north path

you know how to fix this?

[north path]

What do you wanna do exactly?

[proud umbra]

trying to make it go to my hand and follow exactly what my hand does

basically I want to grab the item lol

the xr grab interactables doesn't do exactly what I wan tthough

[north path]

I think hoegrabbed fires too much.
Always put down debug logs to see what code is running when

[proud umbra]

I cant play it in unity though

So I build it

would it only go once?

if not how do I do it

@north path got it, I commented out the setting position and rotation so I realized it had to do with the parenting, and it looked like it was just falling down no matter what so I turned off gravity and it worked perfectly!

[north path]

Maybe disable the rigidbody entirely when in hand and 3nable afterwards

[proud umbra]

Yea that works, I just disabled gravity though so not sure if it matters

Ill have to test a bit

[north path]

Behaviour might be the same for now, but rigidbodies patented to eachother can cause issues

[proud umbra]

wdym

also how do I disable a collider

[north path]

If you disable the gravity the rigidbody can still go away if a script calls addforce or whatever. So disabling it when grabned and enabling on release (or put it on and off kinematic) might save some headaches

[proud umbra]

ah ok

[north path]

Collider is something else.
Doesn't collider.enabled = false work?

[proud umbra]

yep I think that was it

the hoe is sideways now lol @north path

how do I fix

oh I think ik

its just cuz the hand is rotated to be the correct way

[north path]

Many guides should cover this

[north path]

Did you check unity learn already? The VR guide is really good

[proud umbra]

uh no

[north path]

It has a complete pathway which is very nice

[proud umbra]

ah I see it

thanks

[proud umbra]

so my hand's Z rotation is-90 how would I fix that

would I just add 90 to the z rotation for the hoe?

[north path]

Maybe set the item's rotation to 0?

Again, just look for a guide instead of asking every small bit of the basics here

[proud umbra]

yea ig that could work because it would still follow rotation changes since its a child

ok sorry xD

[proud umbra]

this woudl require the hand to be at a perfect rotation tho, so im just going to try to add 90 to the Z axis

[proud umbra]

@north path sorry to ping again but how would I check if the A button is being pressed? All the stuff on the web was a bit too complicated for me ngl, this is what I found but it doesn't seem to be working:

[north path]

I assume you're using the new input system? @proud umbra

https://youtu.be/5ZBkEYUyBWQ

Just follow this, faster for the both of us

[proud umbra]

wdym

[proud umbra]

ok thanks

[icy light]

so I'm running into this issue with SteamVR and vive trackers: the tracking origin shown in Unity and that from the vive tracker manual do not match. When using the rendermodel for either the 2.0 or 3.0 Vive tracker, it shows a wrong center point.
The manual clearly states that the tracking origin of the tracker is on the top of the ring surface around the camera screw. However, when loading the render model in Unity, it uses a different origin inside of the tracker body. I even checked the obj file in Blender and it seems the origin is also wrong for the mesh.

does anybody know what the problem is? is this a bug from steamvr?

[zenith pasture]

is anyone familiar with referencing OVRPlugin in a DLL?

[crude frost]

using Unity XR, when I do a build to Oculus Quest, how do I make it check for mic permissions? Pretty sure when I used to use Oculus Integrations, Their menu tools build the android manifest for me. Is there something like that for when using XR? Or do I need to edit the android manifest manually?

[north path]

I am guessing the same as with other android devices. Might give you something to google

[crude frost]

yeah. i have googled. I've added to the android manifest. I've called Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.Microphone); but i never get the permission popup

[lone gate]

im using this script and applying it to my vr camera to try and get rid of the custom fov that my vr sets upon running

it is not working

[shell kayak]

Maybe you've already granted the permission on the device you're testing on?

[lone gate]

is there any way to bypass the fov that the vr automatically sets

[compact lynx]

no idea what but

theres something strangely fun about watching these 2 dummies fight

[lone gate]

if i have 2 cameras in a scene how do i stop one from changing fov

[crude frost]

Any idea, why when I play scene with XR Origin setup, my camera is always slightly offcenter from the origin?
Its very obvious, because I spawn an Avatar, and the Avatar is 0,0,0 with my Origin, but my camera is off its right shoulder.
-Unity 2021.3
-I recenter before hitting play in Unity
-Oculus Quest over Link

[north path]

Are you maybe slightly off the middle in your Guardian/Oculus play area?

[crude frost]

I thought thats it. But, Nope. I'm using stationary boundary. Before I hit play, I recenter. I look down and can see the blue circle. I'm perfectly in center on it. I thought maybe my avatar was spawning off center, but its 0,0,0 in my xr origin. Just my camera is slightly off. It shouldn't be noticeable now, because for now, I'm deactivating my avatar except for the hands. But, my client may decide they want full body later and thats gonna take me back to the drawing board.

Also, if I recenter , it puts my camera center with the avatar, but for some reason puts me down by its knees.

[crude frost]

I've forgotten how to use Animation Rigging, but still be able to keep my animations. Whats killing me, is I have an old project where they are both working together, but I can't get them working in my new project.

Walking animation works if I have 'Rig Builder' disabled. But, if I enable it, I get this error InvalidOperationException: The TransformStreamHandle cannot be resolved.
I think the issue is related to the Avatar.
The animation requires having the Avatar property. But, Rig Builder won't work with the avatar property filled in.

[jagged mesa]

Heya!

Anyone has experience with the Oculus Integration and can help me out a little bit? I've mostly did VR Dev in another engine, but been using Unity for a while for non-vr stuff. Due to some unfixed bugs and issues in the other engine, I've decided to switch my VR development to Unity as well.

Since I have little to zero VR Experience in Unity, I've added the oculus integration, pulled in the "InteractionRigOVR-Synthetic" and a "SimpleGrabNoPose" prefab, and bam it works out of the box on my Quest 2.

I've set up some extra code for the app I want to create. Basically there's a trigger zone and if the user puts a grabbed object in that zone, the object should snap to the position and cannot be grabbed again. This is working perfectly fine so far.

HOWEVER I have no idea how to manually "Release" my grab on the hand, so the object has disabled grabber, no gravity anymore, but it is still stuck to my hand until I actually release it.

Can anyone tell me where/how to manually "release" this object despite what the hand is doing?

[tribal spire]

FYI finally figured out something that has been causing me greif.
To get XR controller angular velocity, I needed to map the input of the SPECIFIC OCULUS CONTROLLER.
Using XR Controller Right always returned 0,0,0

how do you change the script a XR ray interactor is using?

[north path]

What do you mean?

[north path]

Do you have both oculus and openxr packages in your project?
Search for lobOpenXR_loader.so and see if there are mutliple

[wintry fiber]

i fixed it by placing

Hey guys ! I’m developing a VR game with auto hand, I have some problem with hand collision, I checked in the demo scene and the hands are not going through any wall or object (like it should be), but when I’m loading my scene, my hands are going through all the wall and object (when Im forcing), do you have an idea how to fix this please ?

[autumn pewter]

Hi , any one implement haptic feedback, can anyone please share the link or the code. Thanks

I need a character with two arms and no legs, and i dont know how to do that

[ripe flower]

Are you asking about Inverse Kinematics?

I assume you are wondering how to make the arms naturally align/ pose to match the position ofthe hands right?

[unkempt lily]

no

nvm

[normal ingot]

can someone help please?? I'm trying to export my game but i keep getting this error and i cant figure it out

[cerulean gale]

mby im just dumb af but I cant seem to find out how to collect the position of the controllers in openxr even with the documentation. help?

[wintry fiber]

how can i make reflections in VR without HDRP or URP?

ping me if you answer

[crude frost]

they are game objects in the hierarchy. is 'getting position' of them not working?

[crude frost]

click 'build' and browse to a new path to build to. Looks like the path you have chosen doesn't exist.

[crude frost]

This is a tutorial I did with Oculus OVRController, but the concepts is literally identical when using an XR rig. This video is part 3 in my VR series. Eventually I'll do an XR tutorial as I've moved to that now myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDZden4B-CE&list=PLSq-rVcJ9fMZiItDPoCTlkpDux_XIq0_Z&index=3

[crude frost]

Pretty sure SRP still lets you bake reflections. It has reflection probes and what not. Maybe I'm wrong.

[normal ingot]

ok thx

[clear minnow]

Anyone know of a water shader for VR URP that doesn't cause the game to lag and drop 50 fps whenever looking at it 😅

[north path]

1. What features does it need
2. 50 fps on what? Pc (which pc)? Quest? In editor?
3. If there is none I might be able to make one and put it on the asset store

[north path]

As it says, change the color space (in case you didn't get it fixed)

[clear minnow]

Basically just need it to go down the waterfall and across the map. I said drop 50fps, just meaning the game tanks performance whenever I look at the water(So a lot when in this map)

[north path]

Owh so just an animated texture?

And again, what hardware?
PC? PC VR? Quest 1? 2? Oculus link?

[clear minnow]

Yup super simple, PCVR. It's a mod for Blade and Sorcery VR, but i have been looking for a water shader that doesn't tank performance anyways

[north path]

What is your PC hardware?
What performance are you getting not looking at it?

[clear minnow]

this will be a mod for a lot of different people to use but i7, 16 ram, 2070

[clear minnow]

mine are pretty standard

[north path]

I can't help if you don't give me exact numbers

Also check the profiler to make sure it's the shader

And then look into making a scrolling texture shader. Many guides on YT

[normal ingot]

can someone help me?? I've been trying to figure this out for hours and i cant 😦

[gilded wolf]

i told you what to do

you cant hide from me

also post the working video

[north path]

I already replied. As it says, it only supports linear color, so set the color mode to linear. Just google the error code and you qould have gotten there

[surreal knot]

how do i fix this every time i load into my game it just freezes like as if its in 2d when i look around al freezes u cant move anything

@gilded wolfi just started from scratch then this problem appeared

[dense roost]

probably some script or something that is using a lot of resources and so it just can't do anything, try using the profiler to check if something's off there

[surreal knot]

weird cause this is literally my project

[surreal knot]

what is the profiler

[dense roost]

well that's a lot of things tbh

[surreal knot]

alright well how do i solve

how do i open profiler

[dense roost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBpXiJ9G3OY

also try disabling everything except the player to see if the problem persists

[surreal knot]

can we call please im very confused

VERY

[dense roost]

I can't call sorry

but try what I said to check if the problem is in something that is not the player, just disable everything else and check if the problem is still there

[surreal knot]

ima see

gimme asec

alr

tried it it works

[surreal knot]

but now what

[dense roost]

then just keep enabling things until you find what if breaking everything

or use the profiler...

did you manage to find what the problem was then?

[surreal knot]

nope still trying

[dense roost]

well I still think it must be a script that is making the performance drop, but maybe is something else like a shader

[surreal knot]

alr ik what it is its called canva thanks for help

wait when i jump up i fall down so slow

anyone know how to fix this

[young peak]

Check linear drag, as much big is more slow fall.
If is it 0, you must increase gravity multiplier

[north path]

Holy shit HDRP with VR is a shitshow

Can barely do anything while in-game

[median cobalt]

my curved canvas is extremly blurry, any help?

[north path]

What curved canvas? CurvedUI asset? Oculus?
Is MSAA enabled and how high?
Is it just text or also the edges?
What headset?
Also in editor?

[median cobalt]

nvm got it

forgot to delete message

but i am facing another problem, i have a canvas with inputfield but when i click on input field my keyboard wont open

[north path]

Again, give more info

What device? Does it have a built in keyboard? (PC Just uses a physical keyboard) Did you make your own digital keyboard?\

[mystic depot]

my controllers arent being tracked
any idea what the issue is?
using oculus quest

[median cobalt]

oculus quest 2

[north path]

Give more info
What unity version, what xr plugins, how is your vr player made, whats ur headset, do the hands show stationary or not at all, etc

[north path]

Do you know for sure that the quest 2 digital keyboard works automatically with unity?
And what unity version? Latest Oculus interaction plugin? How did you make your VR player?

You gotta be specific to get proper support

[mystic depot]

2021.2, XR interaction toolkit, standard xr origin, oculus quest 1, the hands are just at 0 0 0 in scene

[north path]

1. Update to 2021.3 for bug fixes
2. OpenXR or Oculus plugin?
3. Is there any mesh on the hands?

[mystic depot]

no mesh on the hands but I selected it in scene view

[north path]

Just put a simple cube or sphere in there so you can actually see it. You can put it as child of the hand

[mystic depot]

yeah its just on the plane just tried it

[north path]

And the other questions?...

[mystic depot]

oculus

ill update to 2021.3 for now to see if it may help

also getting this error

im following valem's new tutorial series

[north path]

Send the full error

[mystic depot]

<RI.Hid> Failed to create device file:

thats it

[north path]

Then follow it more closely I guess

Or follow the VR pathway on unity learn: https://learn.unity.com/pathway/vr-development

[north path]

Nothing else if you click on it?

[mystic depot]

nope

[north path]

Weird

[median cobalt]

i am not sure if keyboard works on quest 2, unity version 2021.3.4f1 and i have latest oculus interaction plugin. I am using oculusInteractionSampleRig with controller ray interactor on my right controller

[north path]

If there is no keyboard input in the demo scene you probably need to make a digital keyboard?

[mystic depot]

UPDATING WORKED YAY

[north path]

Nice

[mystic depot]

ight imma continue have a nice day

[pine bison]

On quest you need this in your manifest to be able to use the built-in keyboard @median cobalt
<uses-feature android:name="oculus.software.overlay_keyboard" android:required="false"/>

[normal ingot]

I have a really simple question that i cant figure out, does anyone know y when i test my game through my vr its a flat screen???

i cant figure it out

[ripe flower]

are you on oculus?

[normal ingot]

ye

[ripe flower]

apperantly, there is a bug when you have it set to open xr, so jsut set it to oculus xr

there shouldn't be any problems

[normal ingot]

ok ill try

were do i switch it? sorry im new to unity kinda

[ripe flower]

project settings > XR Plug-inManegment

[normal ingot]

ok

done

I have oculus checked

already

[ripe flower]

do you also have open xr checked?

[normal ingot]

now i do, let me test

hmm it wont let me check open xr

[ripe flower]

strange, I might not be the right person to help you, since I use a vive and only have seen other people with oculus, sorry

[normal ingot]

oh ok, thank for your help tho 🙂

Hello guys,
I have an RTMP server (I can receive (vlc, FFmpeg, browser) the 4K 360 Livestream via HTTP-Flv, HLS, dash, and RTMP).
I would like to show it as a 360 Livestream in Unity (Quest 2) (e.g. skybox)
Is it possible, if yes, how? I could not find any information online about this topic.

[north path]

Everything is possible :p

• get 360 video working
• get video stream working
• try to combine the 2

[mystic depot]

Hi
Is there any way to make the force in unity VR the way that it is in Vadar Immortal?
I haven't found a tutorial on it

[cerulean flower]

In order to pick up an object, do the hands have to have colliders?

[fallow topaz]

at time stamp 2:04 this youtuber sets the controller node to right hand, https://youtu.be/fZXKGJYri1Y

this option doesnt show up for me

mine:

his:

how do i replicate what is done in the tutorial

im using unity 2019.4.40f1

dont worry

fixed it

[leaden plover]

I have a streaming server, I can watch the 360 stream on any device, I just need an idea how to play it in Quest 2 Unity

[north path]

Be specific, not everyone knows each gane

[north path]

Depends on how your grab code works. Just try it

[north path]

Then just google how to play 360 content in VR in unity

[pine bison]

The generic turn for this would be distance grab. VRTK4 has this, and probably other packages too.

[leaden plover]

I can play 360 video in unity, i can not play livestream in unity

[north path]

The google how to stream video in unity

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=unity+stream+360+video

[leaden plover]

Haha, there is no info how to play like hls streaming in unity

[median cobalt]

how can i transform curved canvas to flat canvas? or how can i fix curved canvas buggy interface

[pine bison]

The default video player in unity isn't very good @leaden plover. We use AVPro to play live video

[median cobalt]

any help? i need to have flat canvas not curved. (i am using cylinder to curve canvas)

[leaden plover]

Thank you, is it worth 200$?

[north path]

Just use world space canvas?

[pine bison]

It depends on your scope and budget of course. I know how complicated video is, so for us it has definitely been worth it

[median cobalt]

Anybody experienced a problem with VR canvas. It’s hard to explain but I am trying to fix this problem for a while. Like I have inputfields on my canvas. And when I click on inputfield nothing happens. I need to click next to inputfield to count it as a input( using quest 2, unity 2021.3.4f1 latest oculus integration)

[north path]

Did you see the response from ole?

[worthy zephyr]

Anyone that has experience with quest 2? using unity 2021.3.5, oculus 3.0.2

my framerate is super low in an almost empty scene

This is profiled on the quest 2 itself

[cerulean flower]

ugh, tried installing VRIF and getting a ton of errors..

[leaden plover]

Can I make a 3D object work as a canvas button? If I use the trigger on the 3D object it would call a func (XR Interaction toolkit)

[north path]

Update to the latest unity version and see if it also happens in that.
Also maybe try switching Graphics APIs

[north path]

Vr Interaction framework or xr Interaction toolkit?

If the first, put the errors on the VRIF discord (feel free to tag me so maybe I can help)

[north path]

Yes, google how to make a button for VR

[leaden plover]

XR interaction toolkit, I easily made a button in 2D canvas and make it interactable with raycast, so when I trigger the button it call a func, but the same with a 3D object does not work bc the 3D object is not a button

[north path]

As I said, google how to make a 3d button in VR.
It's a script you make yourself and when pressed you call a UnityEvent

[mystic depot]

How do I find an object that I'm trying to use the force on? I tried a distance grab script but that was buggy. I need the same way to select the object as for distance grab but not actually grab it (since I'm implementing the force lol).

[shadow valve]

I'm sure its something simple but I am having issue with the SteamVR plugin in unity. I am able to get it to work with my headset in a totally blank project but not in my current game at all. However, if I disable OpenVR Loader in the project settings and run then it connects to the headset but doesn't show the controllers.

[mystic depot]

do the controllers have the right script attached to it?

[shadow valve]

I just directly dragged and dropped the SteamVR [CameraRig]

[mystic depot]

hmm I don't have any expeirience with SteamVR

[shadow valve]

When you drag the rig in on a blank project it works 100%

[north path]

Shoot raycasts in the direction of the controllers

[mystic depot]

I thought of it but thats really hard to get right

[north path]

Why so?

[mystic depot]

you have to point in the EXACT direction

its meant to be more the general direction

[north path]

Use a capsuleCast or overlapCapsule then

[glad galleon]

I can't grab objects that have the XR Grab Interactable component on them, I don't know if it's an issue with my input settings or something else

I am on Unity 2019 lts and trying to build an Android VR app that is going to deploy to different headsets from different manufacturers.
I want to be able to exclude certain scripts and assamblies from building into the different target devices and make sure to only run the code that is required for that specific device. Is there an easy way to approach this problem? I was looking into SBP but I am not sure that I understand the implications of what excluding certain assemblies and scripts/prefabs actually entails. Could anyone give me a rundown of what I should look for to get me on the right track?

Example would be:
Want to build for Android
Target device Oculus Quest
Only include Oculus stuff

Want to build for Android
Target device Pico
Only include Pico stuff

Etc..

[pine bison]

Interested in an answer to this too

I did some tests to see if you could build an apk with both Pico and Oculus checked. Would have been nice, but no

[north path]

Hopefully OpenXR will be a single build when it's more mature.
Now it's 2 builds and maybe some C# defines

In vr

So basically i have stack of crates, and i need to wrap them in wrapping polythene

Any idea?

Much appreciated

[leaden plover]

Guys, what are you using for the backend? (e.g. auth like facebook because of the quest 2, then get data after login e.g. rest)

[north path]

Probably something like a partially transparent plane which snaps parts to the boxes.
Like a self made trail

Hello
I'm creating a quest 2 hand tracking prototype where one hand mirrors the other. I'm using the oculus integration package.
I managed to do it by doing simple math on some position / rotation axis, but the result is not consistent.
I think it has to do with the starting orientation / position of the tracking.
Can anyone point me to resources that describe how the rig tracking is set up to work when the scene starts?

[deep fox]

Hello, I am looking for a way to disable XR device mirroring to the main display since the main display is planned to show something different (currently the main display mirrors the XR view, it also displays for example the UI, however the XR gets mirrored which is what I don't want).

Therefore I am looking for the current counterpart of

VRSettings.showDeviceView = false;

https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/ScriptReference/VR.VRSettings-showDeviceView.html

Please 🙂

Please tag me with the replies, thank you!

[summer orchid]

im trying to make a vrchat world, but when trying to view certain parts im either 500 squares from where the are places or i see them up close but the floor ends up disapearing, is there a way to better view things?

[deep fox]

Answering my own question:

UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.showDeviceView = false;

Perhaps someone will find it useful 🙂

[versed quiver]

for openXR how hard is it to allow the VR player to use keyboard + mouse?
I want the vr player to use a computer in vr

the computer itself will be very simple

[pine bison]

That's unrelated to OpenXR @versed quiver. Unity still listens to regular inputs as long as you don't tell it to stop

The main UX obstacle would be interacting with real objects through the glasses

hi, i would need someones help. i want to do a teleportation on oculus quest 2 i am using interactionRigOVR-basic. I cant find a working tutorial and almost every tutorial is based on xr interaction toolkit.

[median cobalt]

or is there any way how i can transfer my projec t from interaction rig to xr interaction toolkit?

[median cobalt]

or can i use both oculus interaction and openxr interaction

[north path]

If it's in early stages just remake the player with XR IT

Otherwise you can open the oculus integration demo scene and see how they do it or look for guides for oculus integration specifically

(Know that OpenXR is a runtime. You can use the oculus plugin with XR IT as well)

[summer orchid]

How can I make this entire maze one texture, instead of making 2040 cubes a texture individually

[tight geode]

You have to Join it all into 1 object in a 3D Modelling Software like Blender

Wait

you might need Occlusion Culling on that tho

Since you dont need the whole maze to be loaded at the same time, Join parts of it together

Otherwise if its 1 object its always going to load the entire thing (which is unnecessary when your at the other side of the maze)

You basically want to select like a Box of it so its only loading 1-2 at a time

[worthy zephyr]

People developing for quest 2, what unity version and oculus plugin are you using? I'm having a lot of framerate issues with almost empty scenes. This is a scene with 2 default 3d boxes in it.
using 24 ms for frame rendering, just barely sticking under 60 fps and sometimes reaching 30 when doing absolutely nothing.
I'm using Unity 2021.3.8 and oculus 3.0.2, so latest released and LTS versions. I have tried Vulkan and OpenGLE3 , Vulkan is a bit better imo but this is still terrible for an empty scene
but this doesn't seem right

Any guesses or tips? I just can't get started developing like this because every build just has terrible frame rate even in an empty scene

When I run the game on my pc, I get around 1.5ms and over 200fps

[dense roost]

Maybe make sure you only have 1 camera in the whole scene, and of course on pc it will be a lot better performance, I mean, the quest 2 is more like developing for mobile, so you can't take the pc performance as a reference😅

[north path]

2020 lts usually has best performance.
The spikes are probably vsync.
Do you set the fps somewhere in the project? How to frametimes look in OVR Metrics?

[dreamy patrol]

Hi everyone, I was playing with the XR Interaction Toolkit and I wondered one thing: if I need a third event besides Select and Activate, what is the best way to implement it?
For example, I take a weapon with the Select, I fire with Activate but what if I need to eject the magazine or change the rate of fire with a button?
Should I write a modified version of the XRBaseController and the Interactables and Interactors?

[proud umbra]

why doesn't it get to 2?

also how do I fix this?

[worthy zephyr]

I'll try 2020 tomorrow

i don't set the fps anywhere, it was a completely new, blank project

i'll check frametimes tomorrow

[north path]

We have no idea what you're doing and what's the issue. I don't know why your code makes it 2

[north path]

If this refers to the error. That happens when there is no oculus hmd active on the system when oculus plugin is active

[proud umbra]

its just for testing

to see where its not working

idk why its not getting through the function call

[north path]

Debug it then

[rustic sedge]

Hey. I'm on unity 2020.3.30 and it seems I'm missing the option to "Lock Input To Game View". Current version of openxr installed. New input system enabled. anyone every have this happeen?

Should add I'm on Quest 2

And I know I

m just forgetting a step. A previous project that 100% worked in a different version of unity is also missing the lock input option

[urban cloak]

@gray oak Again, ask a proper question. Also, are you choosing to ignore the warning sent to your account?

[gray oak]

so can anyone help me with finding the environment package

[proud umbra]

…im asking for help because I cant figure it out

[north path]

Did you already put in debug logs? To see where the code stops

You didn't share the harvest code as well, so can't help much with that.

Also if it's really broken there will be an error as well

[north path]

Does this help?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.openxr@0.1/manual/input.html#:~:text=Locking input to the game window&text=To work around this issue,to the Game Window option.

[pine bison]

The only reason this wouldn't run is if there's an error in the Harvest line

Which could be a nullreference for example

[proud umbra]

not getting past 3

(ignore commenting)

[pine bison]

Are there any errors?

[proud umbra]

nope

[pine bison]

So it's printing 3 and then nothing more?

[proud umbra]

correct

[proud umbra]

even commented out its still not getting past 3?

oh my god

im an idiot

I was getting it form the gameobject

rather than my carrot lol

that game object doesn't even have that script

omg

[pine bison]

Then there should have been an error

But ok

[proud umbra]

oh you mean while actually playing the game?

[pine bison]

Yes

[proud umbra]

that doesnt work for me for some reason

so I have to build it each time

[pine bison]

That is.... not how it's meant to be

[proud umbra]

I know lol

idk why it doesnt work for me

another question, when I first click a button when I build my game, it like freezes and if I turn all the way around the world is like upside down for a second or so until it unfreezes

its so weird lol

not getting to 6 now...

[pine bison]

This is too deep in your own code for me to be able to help

However

[proud umbra]

for which part

[pine bison]

Please get editor mode working. The time you save on figuring that out is gonna pay itself back immediately

[proud umbra]

I know lol

idk why it doesnt work

[proud umbra]

when I call auto inventory on that script below it works perfectly fine

so idk why :/

[pine bison]

You haven't even said what doesn't work so I don't have anything to go on

[proud umbra]

it gets to 5 but not to 6

meaning something in autoinventory is failing but idk what

[pine bison]

I'm talking about running in editor

I'm not gonna help you until you can debug your own game

[proud umbra]

ok...

[pine bison]

So why is it not working when you press play?

[proud umbra]

do you know if I need the oficial link cable?

because if not then I think its just this cable

[pine bison]

You do not, but you do need a cable of a certain quality

[proud umbra]

yea

[pine bison]

Have you tried air link?

[proud umbra]

lemme see if I have any other ones

does that work for building stuff though?

or for testing?

[pine bison]

It's exactly the same just without cable

[proud umbra]

ah ok

ill try it now ty

[proud umbra]

yooo it works

tysm

that is so helpful lol

[pine bison]

Yes that's gonna save you a lot of time

[proud umbra]

now when I hit any button game completely freezes forever

lemme see if I can record a video of it

[pine bison]

Check the console first

[proud umbra]

wait no I can't send it from the ehadset

[pine bison]

See now it tells you exactly on what line the issue is

[proud umbra]

this is amazing lol

ayy there we go

it was just these text lines lol

never thought something like that could be that simple tbh

oh I think I figured out the autoinventory issue

nope not yet getting closer though

[proud umbra]

how do I tell what object this is reffering to?

[pine bison]

Can you show line 93?

[proud umbra]

how do I see the line numbers lol

do I just count

[pine bison]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/media/line-numbers-option.png?view=vs-2022

Also, if you click the blue text in the error message it will take you to the relevant line

[proud umbra]

ohh ok

[proud umbra]

that makes sense but idk which object this isnt working for

[proud umbra]

only object with this script and without a rigid body is my hand but the script is disabled

[pine bison]

In that last screenshot the rigidbody is indeed null

[proud umbra]

and adding a rigidbody messes it up

does that affect it even though its disabled?

[proud umbra]

and if so how do i do it because I can't add a rigid body or my hand floats into space

[pine bison]

What's the rigidbody for?

[proud umbra]

I disable it when that object goes into the inventory so it doesnt collide and float into space lol

well I make it isKinematic

can I just do that for the hand?

[pine bison]

I don't understand what the hands have to do with this

[proud umbra]

oh yea there we go

it works now

everything works :D

[pine bison]

Nice :)

[proud umbra]

tysm for the help!

[proud umbra]

actually I have one last question lol sorry my carrot is ending up like this and:

changing this line does nothing to fix it

idk why

[pine bison]

You want to set the parent first

And then you most likely want to set carrot.transform.localRotation

I'm heading out now so good luck with debugging

[proud umbra]

still nope

[proud umbra]

ah ok ty

[oblique ice]

Hey, this is a long shot but has anyone been able to run a Unity VR game on Linux?

Seems like none of the XR plug-ins support Linux, so I don’t really expect to get it to work, but I wanted to ask at least

[proud umbra]

Never tried but try this? https://devinwillis.com/2019/11/29/oculus-quest-development-with-linux-and-unity3d/

[oblique ice]

Looks like that's for developing content to run directly on the headset... Was looking to run it on the PC. Thanks though

[tranquil mauve]

Hi, I want to ask a question. If anyone can help, I would be very happy.
I’m a Unity game developer. I developed and published mobile game before. This is my first time in VR development.
I’m testing my VR game in Oculus Quest 1.
I’ve some aliasing issues. When I test my game in editor, graphics are perfectly fine and there is no aliasing (jagged edges). When build .apk file into Oculus device and run the game, there is too much aliasing in 3D models and UI panel edges. Anti aliasing is set to 2 x Multi Sampling in Quality settings.
I tried to 4 x Multi Sampling. I also tried “QualitySettings.antiAliasing = 2;” in a Start() function.
But couldn’t solved the aliasing problem.
Does anybody have solution for it?

[north path]

OpenXR should run on vulkan, at least on windows. So the APIs should work I guess

[north path]

If you use oculus integration maybe untick set MSAA to recommended on the OVRPlayer prefab.
Also know the quest 1 resolution is just low, ans your PC will probably output a higher resolution than the quest 1 natively outputs

[tight geode]

thicc carrot

[west mantle]

can someone help with this thread? https://forum.unity.com/threads/xr-interactor-line-visual-reticle-points-to-the-wrong-direction.1327236/

[tranquil mauve]

Thanks for your reply. I don't use oculus integration. I only use Open XR Plugin. Although Quest 1 resolution is low, aliasing is too much in my game. When I play other games in Quest 1, I don't see that much aliasing

[north path]

Try a blank project and try OpenGLES if you used vulkan. There is an openxr + vulkan + msaa issue I think

[proud umbra]

Indeed, isk how to fix it

Anyone able to help with that? Lol ^

I also have another question actually, so I set up all movement on my left controller(moving and turning) but when I go to the left or right it moves and turns at the same time. is there a way to disable moving left and right that way?

[tight geode]

Maybe it moves and turns at the same time because you put moving and turning on the left controller?

read what you just said lol

[proud umbra]

well yea ik that

but idk how to disable moving left and right

[tight geode]

Why not have Moving on the left controller and turning on the Right Controller (like every VR game)

[proud umbra]

im using the right controller for lots of other stuff(andd planning to use the joystick also) so id rather keep it on the left

[proud umbra]

this is my bigger issue though lol

so if anyone can help with tthatd be awesome

[proud umbra]

this didn't work sadly so idk what to do

[pine bison]

You need to more adequately explain what you expect and what happens instead. A video would help too

[proud umbra]

this is whats happening to my carrot and the 2nd picture is what it is supposed to look like

basically it needs to be flat(scale) and its sideways(rotate)

[proud umbra]

I can send a vid in a bit if you need, my headset just died xD

[pine bison]

Have you verified that those lines are being called at all?

[proud umbra]

how would I do that?

it either calls them or just skips past them

[pine bison]

Add debug logs

[proud umbra]

well it gets past it

so yea id assume its getting called

[proud umbra]

by this I mean it continues afterwards

[pine bison]

No, it can just skip past

[proud umbra]

oh so then how would I do that

what would debug logs do

considering it doesn't change anything

idk how to test if its being called

[pine bison]

That's what debug logs do. If you print inside the if, and it prints in console, you know it's called

[proud umbra]

gotcha

ill test it in a bit

[proud umbra]

@pine bison

the debug log printed

im getting this though, all of them have rigid bodies though

my carrot actually isnt showing up in the inventory at all now

[proud umbra]

fixed this

[proud umbra]

no errors now, still doesnt show up

[pine bison]

So it’s printing howdy but not transforming the object?

[proud umbra]

Correct

[unique venture]

I've never done any VR development before, but I have a game idea that I think would work really well in VR. I want to try out some prototyping before committing to buying a VR device for development, but having natural VR-like input is really critical for validating my idea. I don't think Unity's input simulator will cut it. I do have Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons that seem like they might make a decent substitute for prototyping.

Has anyone used Joy-Cons as VR input devices? Any tips/warnings/libraries/etc?

[old bear]

could someone help me make vr prop hunt

because im doing it rn and its to hard

[tight geode]

Trust me you wont know if your Game Idea is actually good without trying VR

i used to have a bunch of VR Game Ideas but they all changed after i bought a VR Headset

You cant predict what VR feels like (especially not with Joy-Cons lol)

[north path]

Google how to make a VR player using XR IT.
Then google how to make a prop hunt game and all aspects like switching meshes and multiplayer (the latter being the hardest)

[proud umbra]

Do you know how to fix it? Ive cant fix it :(

[pine bison]

No, you just need to think about what could be causing the issue. Is the scale being set again after those lines for example? Are you scaling the wrong transform? Things like that

[grave sandal]

Any guide for vr oculus with old input system?

[tawny swift]

how would i add force to controller and so to the whole player? Basicly i would have fire coming out of player's hands and that would give lift or force to the player, so if you point your palm forward it would push you back or where ever you face your palm you would be pushed in the opposite direction, final product would be flying

[proud umbra]

@pine bison sorry for the ping but could I have some help? I got the rotation to work originally but it does this now?

also it disappears when grabbing it, not even in the inspector anymore

and now it doesnt work at all

after changing

nothing

doe sthis matter?

[pine bison]

Like I’ve said before this is too much into your own code for me to know what can be wrong

[proud umbra]

sad ok

bro

im literally setting the position to 0,0,0

how does not even this work

like what

[lucid bridge]

As a budget user i never looked at higher end headsets, but my employer has given space for a higher end headset.
My only concern is that as far as I can see, unity's systems work best with the quest2, or is this a misconception?, is an HTC vive pro as easy to setup on unity as oculus quest ?

[north path]

For PC VR you probably want to use OpenXR. If you do all PCVR headsets should automatically work!
Then for android/native quest you can use the oculus plugin under android.

If you use a good VR frameworks/plugins they should be cross platform (like XR Interaction Toolkit, VR Interaction Framework, Hurricane VR, etc)

So of setup properly the hmd doesn't matter on PC :p

[pine bison]

SteamVR has been a mess for a while with the new XR management system, but with OpenXR things are finally looking better. I've used the Vive Pro and it's a good headset but the vive wands suck. Right now I'm running a Vive Cosmos at work and I'm enjoying it a lot actually. I've also used Reverb G2 quite a bit and the headset itself is great, it's just that WMR is more of a bother to deal with

[lucid bridge]

Ty for all the advice ❤️

[sonic crypt]

can someone help me make a VR enemy with the XR interaction toolkit

[heavy helm]

Hey hey, downloaded fire particle effect from unity assets store and threw it into a custom modded beat saber map

But appearently my vision get's all f'ed up when I start playing it and it hinders other assets around the fire to

I'm using the quest 2 and I think it has problems rendering the fire effect?

this is what it should look like in game

[north path]

It's exactly like how to do it in regular games unless you want something VR specific

[tardy flower]

Hello! Anyone know why, when calling some haptics using OpenXR, I have to precise the input action AND a controller, since in my input set up the hapticAction is set to a right controller binding?

[north path]

Because flexible systems are great. Not everyone will have this exact same setup and might want to vibrate the left controller when the right one grabs onto it or whatever you can think og

Or did I misunderstand your issue

[tardy flower]

That's super fair, didn't think about that! It felt a bit repetitive to have the Input action + the controller in the same method, but I was not think of all the options it opened, so thanks!

[shut crane]

does anybody know why the index controllers would be non functional in webxr

they move around, but thats it

cant find anything on youtube or google

[north path]

Maybe they are too new. There is no official webxr support and the unofficial plugin is quite old

On the unity roadmap you can give feedback on why webxr would be useful

Might get it prioritized faster

[crude frost]

I'm using XR. How can I have app quit and relaunch if headset is taken off and put back on?

[jagged mesa]

Hi All!

Anyone has good/usable resources of implementing Quest2 Hand Tracking FROM SCRATCH without using the OVR Integration? They introduce way too much clutter and due to that they are not as fun to customize as I'd like it to be

[crude frost]

I think you can do hand tracking, when using XR, but you still have to have the Oculus Integration in your project. I saw a tutorial on it a while back, i'll see if i can find it

[jagged mesa]

It works fine with the Oculus Integration. I've just finished 2 projects with that one, but even a simple thing as force releasing an object while the user is still holding, was a pain...

[round saffron]

Hello, I'm having trouble setting up my Oculus to Unity. I have the headset and controller rig hooked up just fine, but I can't see anything with the actual headset itself. It's just a black screen or a loading screen.

[north path]

Using link?
Do other vr games work?

[crude frost]

Do you have an Asus Laptop by chance with an AMD Onboard Graphics card? Go to Device Manager>Display Adapters and disable your onboard graphics card (for me its 'AMD Radeon Graphics'). Then try to connect Link. Once link is connected, you can re-enable your build in graphics card. It will break link most likely, but you can re-enable right away usually.

Any time you reboot headset or computer you may need to do these steps again.

❓ Anyway to access the Clipboard from VR headset? I know on Oculus Quest, in the web browser, you can hold down the trigger to copy something. But, is there a way in my unity app to then paste what I've copied into an input field?

[real vector]

Hey everyone, I'm having object disappear when I get too close. The near plane is already at 0.1. Is there anything I'm missing?

[round saffron]

I'm using Oculus link yes. I haven't tested other games with link but I have successfully made a connection between the two devices using Virtual Desktop and SteamVR.

[round saffron]

I'm using NVIDIA. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti to be specific

[north path]

Put it smaller probably

[mild igloo]

Anyone in the room work with verts in VR?

I am looking for help with manipulating a cube. I have the vert selection and mesh generation handled. I am just having trouble dragging the verts with the controller

[crisp pivot]

Yeah thats not a vr strong gpu
Might explain it, not sure though

For reference
Im using a 3060 ti and i still have lag issues sometime when connecting to pc

[round saffron]

I hope I can get around that. I know I can connect my headset to my computer with steamVR or virtual desktop, to the point where I can see with my headset.

[dense roost]

The problem is that you can't see Unity in your headset or that you can't even enter the oculus link thing?

[round saffron]

I can enter the oculus link and connect to my laptop (yes I'm working on a laptop, I hope it's not an issue). I can use my headset and controllers to move around in my unity game, but I can't see the game with my headset.

[round saffron]

^

[dense roost]

hmmm I think I've had that problem before, but just reopening the project solved it for me...Have you set it to multiview?

[round saffron]

Doesn't sound familiar... set what to multiview?

[dense roost]

project settings-xr plug-in managment-oculus-stereo rendering mode-multiview

[round saffron]

Multiview or Multi Pass?

[dense roost]

multiview I think you need

[round saffron]

Interesting, because I don't see a multiview option. Just a multi pass

[dense roost]

like, I have it like this

[dense roost]

in the android tab sorry

[round saffron]

Mmmmm... I don't have an android tab

[dense roost]

also, make sure you have oculus selected in the xr plug-in managment thing in both the PC tab and the android tab

[round saffron]

That might be a lead

[dense roost]

Do you have installed the android build thing? Like, to be able to build to android devices?

like, in here try to select android, at least that's what I have and it works for me

[round saffron]

I don't have the android build installed. Do I need that to see with oculus?

[dense roost]

I'm not sure, but try it if you want and see if it works, because I don't know what else could be😅

[round saffron]

It's a lead so I'll take it

[dense roost]

I have to go now, hope that solves the problem, I'll read more about this tomorrow because it's too late here😅

[round saffron]

I appreciate it, I'm not in any big VR projects atm so there's no rush

[dense roost]

also I don't think the laptop is the problem, because I've managed to make it work with a gtx 960m, so a 1660 Ti should work a lot better😅

[round saffron]

Yeah at least it's not like a surface pro xD

[severe saffron]

you ever get to the oculus dash?

in my case when I enter playmode the oculus software often crashes out. My controllers and headset movements are still mirrored in the editor, but oculus software will black screen/get stuck often because I keep running out of vram (1060 6gb)

I also run out of regular ram too which also blackscreens it

🤣

[round saffron]

I getcha

[crisp pivot]

So simply put, you need a hardware upgrade

[round saffron]

Maybe, I do have a desktop with the same graphics card as yours. I'll try it out there in due time

[autumn pewter]

Any one please share some free gym assets, Thank you

[mild igloo]

Can anyone share any tips on how I could go about raycasting to the face of a cube using my movement to rotate it on the y axis

[crude frost]

Greetings. I'm doing full body IK using Unity Animation Rigging. A current issue I'm trying to solve, is I don't want my in-game hands to go through my in-game body. I tried putting colliders on the bones, but that didn't work obviously. What can I do?

Probably nothing I can do, because the animator probably overrides all collisions, right?

[severe saffron]

I mean you could check to see if the IK target is in a valid spot right?

check if there's a collision at the IKtarget position before you apply it, and possibly offset it if there is a collision detected

[vestal field]

Hi all.. beginner here so sorry if I get the lingo wrong: I am using XR ray interactor and selecting my object just fine. I point at it, hit trigger and it snaps to my hand. Even better though would be to "spawn" in my scene holding it already, no pointing and trigger necessary. How can I do this in code? I've tried adding it as a child object underneath my hand in the hierarchy... but this doesn't allow me to use the object's full functionality like wacking it against a wall and having the wall respect the object's colliders (object just passes right through the wall).

[unreal violet]

I'm relatively new to VR development and need some help. I'm trying to make a feature where the camera that the user looks through zooms into an area when you click a button with the vr headset, could anyone help me?
