[vivid condor]

can only think of the Serial number, but not sure how to get it in C#,
i tried AndroidID, deviceID and MacAddress - all of which didn't persist a factory reset.

[north path]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-deviceName.html

Doesnt this stay the same?

[vivid condor]

isn't that the name you give to your device?
pretty sure it's not unique.

the default would probably be "Pico g2 4k s" on all of them.

[north path]

Not sure, and never seen the option to change the name on my pico 4 and quest 2.
Maybe device model instead?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-deviceModel.html

[lofty tangle]

Could you not use the players account info? Meta ID etc?

[vivid condor]

Not that i'm aware, i tried to contact support as thst specific model is an enterprice edition.

They want a device to be connected to the server and run the app in kiosk mode.
Any type of id i tried was changed by factory reseting.
Device name/model isnt unique from what i understand.

[north path]

I think deviceModel is the same after a factory reset, but not unique per device. That's a requirement you did not mention before (;

I think pico has enterprise solutions to do this properly. Contact them

[vivid condor]

Weird, pretty sure i wrote unique identifier, i mailed them earlier today, hopefully they have a solution.

[north path]

I thought you meant unique per device as detect which headset is used

[south remnant]

Hello. I just wanted to clarify a doubt. I want to animate / create UI based helper texts, which would help users identify / know what to do next, and understand what state of the lifecycle of the application they're currently in at the moment. I'm working on a VR based project, and am not sure what I should be doing, with regards to this.
Should I just be making use of animations ?

Hi, is anyone developing using MRTK Unity?
Does anyone have a reference for using the A, B, Y, and X buttons?

I've tried several ways since yesterday but somehow nothing worked. what I want to know is the script to use the oculus buttons (A,B,Y, and X) in MRTK

[tiny niche]

you're going to want to combine the timeline with some type of state management for that

[vivid condor]

the support gave me an option through the enterprise edition sdk - UPVr_GetDeviceSN.
Method of calling: Pvr_UnitySDKAPI.System.UPvr_GetDeviceSN()

[north path]

Oh cool!

[fiery night]

I have two questions. Context: I want to create something where you can build your own vehicles. For this I thought of using sockets that allows you to rotate an interactable in fixed rotations before snapping. By this I basically mean you can snap things together in (for example) 90 degree increments instead of a fixed rotation. This would allow you to, for example, add a wheel that is vertically aligned or if your design requires it horizontally.

1. How can I accomplish this?
2. I want "socketed" interactables to become joints on connect. Any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated.
3. Not really a question, but if my approach seems stupid feel free to call me out as well. My questions are based on how I think it should work and it could very well be wrong.

[scarlet lynx]

For standalone vr like quest2/3 do you guys pick the lowest rendering engine for performance?

[raw scroll]

Can someone help me make a backpack system like Ghosts of Tabor or Into the Radius

Image of kinda what im tryna do

[tiny niche]

that's just a socket system, its in the escape room sample

[raw scroll]

Thats it?

Also how do I get to the escape room sample?

[tiny niche]

yea, they may have used it in a non-standard way. But at its core, its still just a socket system

[raw scroll]

ok

[tiny niche]

Thanks! now time to figure out how to use it for the backpack part and then work on my wood chopping system

[south remnant]

Ok, can you suggest me some resources you're maybe familiar with, to get started working on it? I'm pretty new to this.

My objective is to make an application similar to this one :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PEeU4eZTqg

My application would ideally be having these kinds of animations / helper texts to help the user with their tasks in the application. This is my use-case, and I'm not sure how I go about this..

Can someone help me? :<

[raw scroll]

Can someone Test a wood chopping script that ChatGPT made?

My headset died

[north path]

What do you mean lowest rendering engine?
Lowest quality tier? I use low or medium as a base and change it for better VR support/performance per project

[scarlet lynx]

yes, lowest quality tier. Also, that doesn't affect the physics system right?

[north path]

No, it's just visuals.
But the lowest tier isn't the best for VR (since MSAA is recommended and there are some tweaks to make performance better)

[tiny niche]

i'd look at the live demos on youtube where they demonstrate the timeline and how to use it

[rough plaza]

How do I make a full player avatar instead of just hands?

[tiny niche]

that's kinda like asking how you make a game. It's not something you just turn on and it works, but inverse kinematics plays a huge part

before going down that rabbit hole, i would try really hard to find a way to avoid doing it

Guys, any tutorial how to put my Sketchup house into Unity and into VR, I also need character to add to be able to see around house

[north path]

Export SketchUp model to fbx (make sure it's not too high poly and that it has few materials)
Put it in Unity
Follow a VR character controller guide or use an example online
Enjoy

I've been doing this a lot for designers👌

I've been trying to change the rotation of an attachTransform for an interactor (socket) during hover. The rotation happens (the attachTransform rotates), but the blue mesh preview thing you see doesn't rotate along with it. I also don't see it in the editor, I only see it in the headset. This makes it hard to debug. Any tips, suggestions or hints?

do anyone know how to get inputs of controller like right now im getting a refrence of a input action property and then reading a floatvalue and if float value is above something so do the code but its like contsant and i wanna excute this once i have to add bools and stuff is thier any way like we do getkeydown or something for this

[lofty tangle]

Just make a reference for the value of the input last frame, bool inputPreviousValue;
Then check if the input is true but was false last frame: if(input && !inputPreviousValue) //do thing.
Then, at the end, update inputPreviousValue to equal input
That is the equivalent of getkeydown

anyone know how to detect when the player pulls a controller towards them?

[zenith jasper]

do anyone know what is the maximum number of polycount for pcvr in a scene

[zenith jasper]

maybe try checking the distance between the player and the controller

[fast frigate]

yeah i tried that but its really inconsistent

[zenith jasper]

you can do when you want to pull u have to press the certain button like primary button or secondary one and check the length if it goes at a certain value then it registers as a pull

[fast frigate]

yeah ill try that thanks

[rare tiger]

i need some help

@everyone

[lofty tangle]

Track the controllers velocity and acceleration. If the velocity is moving towards the player, you can also use the velocity magnitude and the acceleration for when you want to do whatever it is you want to do

thats gonna be way better than just pressing a button

that the trigger though use the same for the primary and secondary buttons. also use a var to set the xrnode for each hand.

Going to be starting a new project in the next few weeks to do over university brake. For VR using URP I have been using 2021 lts up to now for some small things I've built. Does it make sense to go with 2022 lts yet?

[surreal jolt]

Can you use a world space canvas with mouse input if the XR Interaction is enabled?

According to the docs you can't. But, maybe someone found a way around?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.3/manual/index.html

[north path]

There might be a performance difference (2021lts is better), but 2022 has more features.
I will be doing in depth performance testing in july

When setup properly both should be fine however

[north path]

Seeing the issue is still open, it probably doesn't work.
But to fully make sure is to try it out

[lofty tangle]

You can convert the mouse point to world space and cast a ray from the camera to that point and use it to click worldspace ui elements somehow.

[south remnant]

Hey people. I have an issue, maybe someone can help.

I've created scripts for Destroying objects OnCollisionEnter() and also OnTriggerEnter(). I've attached them to a cylinder in my scene. Now, I'm checking to see if the object the cylinder collides with, has a tag of CubeToCut and if it does, I plan to destroy the cube, and instantiate another random object (a sphere) in it's same transform position. Now, I've used an XR Grab Interactable on the Cylinder, and also on the Cube [I want to be able to pick-up both the cube, and the cylinder in two different hands, and after cutting, I want to spawn the sphere in my hand (where the cube was)]. But, the script just doesn't seem to work. Now, I did something like, on the XR Grab Interactable component, I added the interactable event of calling the OnTriggerEnter(), upon activation, and it does work; but there's an issue. Since, this function is called everytime the trigger is pressed, doesn't matter if the object is colliding or not, they always end up getting destroyed even without colliding. How do I over-come this issue? What's the proper way to go about doing what I intend to do (cut cube, to instantiate sphere in it's place, only when colliding, and trigger pressed!) ?

Sorry for the looong text, but someone please help me. I have been stuck on this same issue for a while now.

Hello guys, any idea why i get this error?

[tribal nest]

Hey! I was wondering if I could get some help with figuring out how to get multiplayer with Meta's hand tracking working in my game? I'm using Valem's PUN2 tutorial and it's been smooth sailing so far, but when I use XRNode for hand tracking, it only works with the controllers.

I see that there is documentation around XRHands https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.hands@1.1/manual/index.html but I can't find it in the package manager or asset store and I'm not sure how to integrate it correctly if I did. Thank you!

[autumn pewter]

Hi everyone. I am trying to grab an object with certain speed or force. If the speed or force is higher than the thresh hold, it will automatically released. I need suggestion for this please.

[short nova]

Hey @winter hedge, you will see this error show up when a specific Interactor is part of 2 Interaction Groups. If you click on the error in the console, it should take you to the object in the hierarchy that has the Interaction Group that is triggering the error. One of the interactors in the list has been added to another group. You can find all the groups in the scene be using the search field and typing t:XRInteractionGroup. This should help narrow down the search for the offending cross-over.

[winter hedge]

hey dave

fixed btw

on the right hand group i was referencing left hand's ray interactor

[worthy mortar]

anyone got a problem where you load into a vr game and its stuck on the loading screen with white dots? i can hear audio but i cant see anything or move

[winter hedge]

what device are you testing on?

@short nova thank you btw 🫶🏼

[worthy mortar]

oculus quest 2, i think i found the bug

[short nova]

Hey @tribal nest, what version of the Unity Editor are you on? The XR Hands package is only available on Unity 2020.3 and newer. If you on a newer Editor and still do not see it, try upgrading to a newer patch version. I also highly recommend pulling in the XR Interaction Toolkit, as there is a nifty Hands Interaction Demo sample package to show how it all comes together.

[tribal nest]

@short nova Thank you for the tips! I'm using 2021.3.8f1 right now, but I don't think I see the XR Interaction Toolkit in my package manager either. I have the Oculus XR and OpenXR plugins, as well as the XR Plugin Manager!

I've have hand tracking working with both hands, but from what I understand, I'm trying to get the Oculus hand tracking nodes' positions and mapping them to essentially "Player 2's hands" to see them overlaid over mine, which is where I'm having issues 😮

[short nova]

Ahh... is there a reason not to update to the latest version of 2021.3? I think we are currently on .27f. XRI was available starting in .9f and XR Hands was available starting in .23f.

[tribal nest]

This is the guide I'm following: https://youtu.be/KHWuTBmT1oI?t=1623 at ~27 minutes, they assign the XRNode positions of the hands and head to the avatar's, which works for controllers, but it's not working for the hands. Idk if I would e.g. just grab one joint at a time or something?

[short nova]

Alternatively you can modify your manifest or manually install the package by typing in the package name in package manager. The package name for XRI is com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit (version 2.4.0) and XR Hands is com.unity.xr.hands (version 1.2.1).

[tribal nest]

Ahh I see-- I can try to update if you think it will solve things, I'm just a little scared of some of my methods becoming obsolete if I change versions 🥲

[short nova]

during a patch update, no methods should be obsolete due to our push to obey semantic versioning. You would only have to worry about deprecated APIs when going to a new major version (2022, 2023, etc).

[tribal nest]

This is what I saw online, and I was just about to dig into learning how to edit the manifest 😂

[tribal nest]

Oo I see! That's good to know 🙂 I'll make a new branch and update just in case but I think that would be a better solution to attempt first

[short nova]

Here is some install instructions for both package manager as well as a quick-n-dirty way to update the manifest file directly: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.4/manual/installation.html#manual-installation

[tribal nest]

Thank you! You're the man 🎉 Will report back shortly hopefully haha

[short nova]

No problem! Happy to help.

[pine bison]

There are several layers to your question, you should verify each step one by one. So the first question then is to check whether the collision triggers at all with the right objects, and secondly if the tag match works. What's happening right now? It doesn't even delete the collided object?

[severe saffron]

rad!!

[south remnant]

Thanks for the response.

Currently, the OnCollisionEnter()'s Destroy() function works..

But, the OnTriggerEnter() doesn't work the way intended. The objects just collide with each other.

[south remnant]

What I'm aiming to do, is to be able to destroy the object I collide with, once I press the trigger.

Is this sufficient? If I uncomment Destroy(other.gameObject) is this bound to work?

[pine bison]

I don't understand why you're using both trigger and collision, can you show the objects and their colliders?

[south remnant]

Okay, just a min.

Updated the script to be very minimal now.

[pine bison]

So you have your cube with a collider, and the wand with a collider set to trigger? And when the wand enters into the cube, you want to trigger a function?

[south remnant]

Yep.

The cube ideally should contain a sphere inside it. When the cylinder and the cube collide, the cube will be destroyed, and the sphere inside it should be instantiated / present there at the place of the sphere.

[south remnant]

I tried to do that, but destroying an object, I'm not entirely sure about the concept. If I add the sphere as a child object to the cube, then destroying the cube is also bound to destory it's child objects. So, I scaled it down, and then scaled it back up, during collision in the earlier script.

[pine bison]

Well first off, does this code run?

[south remnant]

no.

When I use OnCollisionEnter() during collision, the code is executed. But, for OnTriggerEnter() nothing happens, the cube and cylinder keep colliding with each other.

[pine bison]

Do you have a rigidbody on your wand?

[south remnant]

yes I do.

I'm not sure where to enble the IsTrigger property.

[pine bison]

its collider is not set to trigger

[south remnant]

I tried enabling IsTrigger on Knife, but doesn't work. The knife has disappeared from the scene once the application loads.

I'm not sure what exactly has happened here.

[pine bison]

Right... Cause you want the sword to be a physics object with gravity, but you also want it to intersect with the yellow cube?

[south remnant]

yes

Is that not possible? 😢

Can I only destroy / detect Trigger On Collision if the object is kinematic?

[pine bison]

Alright, then OnCollisionEnter is what you want, rather than set up something more complicated

[south remnant]

Oh. I actually also tried to call this OnTriggerEnter() function (as I had it be a public function) in the OnActivated() event listened by the XR Grab Interactable script, but that just calls the function and destroys the cube, even when I press the trigger while being far away from the Cube.

[pine bison]

That's ok, can you get it up and running again with OnCollisionEnter?

[south remnant]

Yeah, that works.

[pine bison]

you don't want to do this

[south remnant]

But, thing is, If I could destroy only after trigger press, that would be much better.

[south remnant]

Got it.

[pine bison]

You want to create a new public function in your script called Activate or something like that

And then on your XR Interactor, you invoke this function instead of oncollisionenter

The logic in the script would be:

private Collision collidedObject;

public void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
  if(other.gamObject.CompareTag("cube")
    collidedObject = other;
}

public void OnCollisionExit(Collision other)
{
  if(other.gamObject.CompareTag("cube")
    collidedObject = null;
}

public void Activate() 
{
  if(collidedObject != null)
  {
    // destroy, and other logic here
  }
}

[south remnant]

Oh, okay. should I add this Activate() function somewhere else? Sorry, I don't understand.

[pine bison]

Yes, like you're doing here

In the last image

[south remnant]

Oh. Okay.

And, that function will only be triggered when the Trigger is pressed. Got it.

Will try this now, then.

[south remnant]

Woww... 😀 Thank you. This works.

Can you please explain it to me?

Activate() is just a user defined function, and it's getting called when Activated. The OnCollisionEnter and OnCollisionExit functions will help us keep track of if we're actively colliding with the cube or not. Only when we do, and also press the trigger will the cube, destroy.

[pine bison]

The collision now just changes a state, to say whether there's something do delete or not. The Activate function is called every time you press the trigger, but it doesn't do anything unless there's an object currently active

You got it

[south remnant]

What was the issue with using OnTriggerEnter?

[south remnant]

Oh, wow.. okay. Got it.

[pine bison]

It's similar, but that's only available if your collider is set to trigger, which conflicts with regular physics

[astral knot]

Im trying to implement a height reset for a seated VR game when using the XR Interaction Toolkit. What I would like is for the player to sit comfortably, put on the headset, and click a button to reset the camera height to the avatars eye level.

Currently I have it set to Floor Level so that should zero out the camera height. When the player put on the Quest 2, I'm assuming the camera height is based off the players real life floor if they configured their boundary correctly. What I'm "trying" to do is get the current Y position of the camera on button press, then subtract that from the avatars eye level of 1.5 on the Y. Then use that difference to offset the camera in the XR Origin rig. Seems simple enough.

Unfortunately when I try to get the current camera height it's always at zero. The only way I can figure out the height is to unparent the Main Camera and place it above the Camera Offset, so parent it directly to XR Origin. Is there another way or better way to do this without having the break apart the XR Origin?

Thanks.

[pine bison]

Unfortunately when I try to get the current camera height it's always at zero.
How are you getting this?

[astral knot]

Well when I Play the scene and select my camera and move the Quest2 around, the XYZ are 0 in the inspector.

I'm only able to see the came position if I unparent it from the Camera Offset

[pine bison]

If your camera is moving around in the air then it's not at 0

The calculation is simply float height = headsetTransform.position.y - playArea.position.y

[astral knot]

I agree that its not 0. lol For whatever reason I cant seem to get the position. Im not sure if its because of the Camera Offset

[pine bison]

It's local position might be 0, because it's the parent that moves

But my code is still right since it takes world space

[lofty tangle]

If you’re doing seated mode you should use device not floor for the offset. Then you just set the height, floor doesn’t use the offset height

[astral knot]

ok, let me play around with that. Im actually using playmaker since I'm not a coder.

[astral knot]

So does floor use the real life floor if the boundary is set up correctly?

[lofty tangle]

Yes if it’s set to floor it uses the camera tracked height from the set floor level of the guardian.

You can’t set the cameras height directly as it is set by tracking data.

You either have to use device not floor and set the offset height to what you want.
Or you have to move the playspace aka the xr rig/xr origin

[astral knot]

So what does setting it to device do then? I just need the camera to be at 1.5 along the Y

[lofty tangle]

Setting it to device uses the height value and sets the cameras origin position to that height. You can still move around in tracked space, but the height is set using that number instead of the distance from the headset to your irl floor level.

[astral knot]

I'll play around with that then since it seems to be the best solution. I thought I tried that by maybe not

[lofty tangle]

That way even if the player is sitting on the floor, they can be at standing height in-game

If the height is set to that

[astral knot]

Thats exactly what I need. Thanks for the tip

[lofty tangle]

But. You also have to handle if the player then decides to stand up they would be a lot higher. So you would need to reset their height if they move too far from the origin height.

[astral knot]

Exactly. Thats why I wanted to use a height reset button in case they change positions in real life

[lofty tangle]

What I did for my seated mode was… actully I’ll have to check cause I don’t remember what I did, but I did it so if they move too far it snaps them back to the height.

[astral knot]

Thats a good idea

[lofty tangle]

This is what I did. in the video i describe whats going on but its quite.

[zenith jasper]

i wanna ask something if we use unity xrkit and grab some object and move our hand really fast it kinda jitters how to get smooth movement

[astral knot]

Thats pretty slick, nice job

[lofty tangle]

thanks i was my first test with doing seated mode.

[lofty tangle]

but yeah in that im just setting the cameraOffset.cameraYOffset to the hight that i want for standing or crouching.
the way i do the resetting the y position is if the player moves past a certain threshold up or down i move the xr rig in the opposite direction the amount of difference of the cameras y and the height they should be, to bring the camera back to where it should be.
if you ever want to move the camera you move the xr rig.

[astral knot]

Nice idea

[lofty tangle]

you could also not have a threshold and move the rig in the oposite direction of the head up and down. if you want to keep the height at a specific place. but then the player wouldnt be able to move up and down at all, which can be uncomfortable for the player.

[iron dew]

How would I assign a function to the opposite hand to the hand im holding an object with for example (Holding lightsaber in right hand pulls left trigger to pull objects towards them)

[hardy root]

I did it but I cant find a way to fix it

@north path

[north path]

What does it say

[hardy root]

Can u vc

There I sent a pic

Why is it a file

There

[north path]

Well, debug and try to fix that error.
If your player is disabled it might freeze if that what it's doing

I usually only help in vc for paid jobs btw, so text it is

[hardy root]

I put a script that i was gonna use but I did not use it after all

Is it on

[north path]

Yes if it gives errors it's running

[hardy root]

So do I disable it or remove it

Also I think I already deleted it

Before

So where do I find the error

[north path]

Remove it from the prefab and check in other scenes etx

[hardy root]

K

Didn't I already remove it from the prefab

It's on my armature for some reason do I remove it

There is also these errors

Have any idea how to fix it

There is more 😦

@north path should I just delete the disable player script

[north path]

Yes, remove it if iy doesn't do anything

[hardy root]

What about the other errors u see in the picture

[north path]

Might be related, fix errors one at a time

And maybe use vulkan as it seems you enabled vulkan features in your xr plugin for android

[hardy root]

Where do I enable Vulkan

Also what does it do

[north path]

Change the graphics api (google how to)

It's another graphics api and you try to use depth submission and symmetric projection, which is vulkan only

Oh and update unity and the xr plugins (and oculus integration if used) ofc

[hardy root]

Does my game become better

[north path]

Maybe

Stuff like late latching could be used to reduce latency etc

And systemic projection can increase performance

[hardy root]

I cant find a video on how to change it to vulkan

@north path

Please help

Wait nvm

[charred rose]

Anyone know if there are any assets/packages for coding and or modeling within the vr headset inside of unity via some sort of ui?

[rich cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vOyAkZFGRs

[rapid pumice]

I'm trying to build an apk for VR, and building it and running on a headset untethered has terrible performance. It's all choppy, certain shaders don't render, etc. Currently, I'm using a Quest 2 but it'll be built for different headsets later on. Can anyone point me to a good video for build and player settings for VR? Or if y'all have any suggestions of your own. Thank you! 😄

[hardy root]

How do I fix these errors? I went to build and this happend @north path if u can help since you helped last time

🙂

Also there is this

[hardy root]

If you guys can help please do

Start in a blank project and go from there. You got too many different factors to easily fix

[fast frigate]

is this an accurate way to pull the player towards an object when they pull on the controller?

[glacial epoch]

Hey, I am using the simple Teleportation Area component (on a mat set on floor) in my XRI screen using the Unity Learn Create with VR pathway but when I teleport, my player is going to the position of the mat at the floor as shown in the ss. How do I fix this?

PS: the pos of the XR Origin and the mat is not the same.

[north path]

Maybe just use . velocity?
This does look fine

[fast frigate]

the controllers have no rigidbody, so im calculating it

[north path]

Make sure you teleport the right gameobject. Could you share the code you use?

[north path]

I meant using .velocity instead of . Addforce (and maybe cache the component instead of getting it again and again)

[fast frigate]

the webbed object changes though?

[fast frigate]

oh right i tried that but i didnt get the feeling i was looking for

[glacial epoch]

I'm just using the XRI provides scripts.

[north path]

Fair, then it's fine for now. You could change it only when you switch webbed object for better performance

[north path]

Then you have to be more specific in your needs. That moves the player into the direction of the object (if your direction calculation is right)

[north path]

Maybe change the tracking mode to floor if it's not already?

You never said what you did, so explain what you did if you need more help

[fast frigate]

@north path i have a problem with the players body, in game view the arms are clipping through eachother but in scene view there completely normal

[north path]

Could you make some screens of that?

And maybe show calculate zip direction

[fast frigate]

wait no i found out why

the players vr body is being spun 180 apart from the camera and the hands

this is the script im using for animating the vr character

nvm i fixed it

[glacial epoch]

yeah i was thinking of that. Let me see.

[glacial epoch]

This is my XR Origin

I tried providing a camera offset GO with Y = 1.117 but that doesn't work either.

This is my mat

[rough plaza]

On deferred rendering, the left eye renders incorrectly; it has a white overlay for some reason.

[onyx blaze]

Anyone here know the unity version best optimized for standalone performance? iv'e heard that some version actually decrease performance, so I'm trying to avoid that

[north path]

Which unity version?
Which render pipeline?
Does it also happen in a blank project?

[north path]

The latest 2021LTS is the best right now. 2022.2 had some performance issues, I will be benchmarking 2022.3 in depth next month

2022.3 isnt too bad tho. but probably measurably worse.
2020.3 might have a slight edge over 2021, but doesnt have support soon so not recommended

[onyx blaze]

gotcha. thanks mate

[rough plaza]

2022.2.14
Built in
Yes

[north path]

Try 2022.3LTS and try URP
If both dont work make a bug report

[tiny niche]

does it matter? you're gonna have to move beyond the older versions eventually as things get deprecated anyways

but for the most part you can get comparable performance if you match configurations instead of leaving things at their defaults

[glacial epoch]

Is there a way I can manually set the value of Starting Selected Interactable in XR Socket ? I want to wear a hat when I press a certain key (say H) and then drop the hat if i press it again. I got this script from chatGPT (cuz just like ARF, can't find proper docs for scripting with XRI) that lets me wear the hat but not drop it. I also tired another script where i tried directly accessing the starting selected interactable property but that is not public so got errors.

[sage gyro]

Hi everyone, this is a bit more of an Oculus specific question but I'm unsure on the best place to ask it. I'm using Meta Quests Add-On's backend to have IAP's in my game. Right now we have this working however previously we sold bundles of content that users could buy, and quite a few users have brought them. However now we are looking to split the bundles up and sell the individual parts for cheaper. While still having the bundles as a way of getting the original grouped items for a discounted price overall.

My question is, given that a use has brought an item in a bundle, we would like to make the bundle then cheaper. Kind of like how Steam does it with buying collection of games, (like if you where to buy the elder scrolls collection for £50, but already owned Skyrim, having paid £30 for it, the collection would decrease to £20 or something simular). How feasable is this? I've noticed that the Meta backend is quite hard to change once its been set and that for obvious reasons we can't control the price locally within the game, however to me something like a discounted price seems kind of like an obvious featute I'm missing.

[forest roost]

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my Scripts & Player.
(VIDEO: https://youtu.be/KwriajikV90) As you can see, the gravity kind of works fine, until a certain point where the player's movement is way slower and they randomly start bunny hopping. Also, The entire time, the only thing I'm holding is forwards on my controller. So I'm not jumping, nor am I moving to the side near the end of the video. This is all happening automatically.

https://gdl.space/rafanedago.cpp - Player movement Code (Straight from Valem's tutorial; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0EBIe6ZN8)

https://gdl.space/hararagini.cpp - Artificial Gravity, made by me. Sphere type is a Fibonacci Sphere (Image) so the poles can't be what's affecting it.

Any help would be very much appreciated 🙂

[neon raven]

hey guys im using the xr interactiontool kit with a UI & ui buttons

im having a lot of issues clicking said buttons unless you come in at a specific angle

its very annoying specifically usin the poke interactor that comes with the XRI toolkit

has anyone encountered this issue and has any ideas how i may alleviate this? it does not make for a very enjoyable user experience

ive played around with the settings on the Poke Interaction but have not found any that i found to be working particularity well so i am really at a loss

[severe saffron]

Id imagine you'd have to make alternative versions of each IAP combination on the meta backend in that case

it sounds like a nightmare lmao

[severe saffron]

pretty sure the hopping is just you walking off the face of this planet object. The bouncing is just physics and you falling off. I looked at the movement code, and the axis is completely flat, X Z movement. I don't see any code that tells the player to walk in a curved fashion, so thats whats happening

you're walking straight off the planet

also it looks like your gravity is weaker the further you are from the center point

also you're using moveposition instead of forces to move, which is its own issue

[forest roost]

I have no idea how to do this, I attempted it a few times over the past few hours but absolutely failed.

[forest roost]

That is correct, but the center point is in the literal center of the planet

So no matter where you are on the surface, the gravity should be the same

[forest roost]

No idea why Valem does that in his tutorial, but the code works flawlessly, other than the movement being based around the world axis instead of my local rotation

[severe saffron]

I mean perhaps because you havent interacted with anything yet; but using moveposition instead of forces means your object will move with impossible force. As soon as you add some physics props to a scene you'll understand why thats a problem.

Anyway you can probably still use this code if you switch to local coordinates. Currently all of the operations are in worldspace, but if you were to use local vectors and rotate the XR origin's Up vector, you could probably get the movement working.

I would search youtube for a sphereical world tutorial. You can then simply port the XR input to it.

[forest roost]

Okay, thanks!

[forest roost]

Hey, so Something I've noticed with spherical world games & videos is that they use this line of code, however I'm having issues translating this over to vr.

And another thing is that the thing you described, with the movement being in world space/rotation instead of local, my Direction Source is set to my camera, so where that looks at is the direction my player is moving, correct? Maybe this is causing the issues? I don't know and I have no idea

[forest roost]

And I'm pretty sure that this whole fiasco is the equivelent of that one line of code

        Quaternion yaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, directionSource.eulerAngles.y, 0);
        Vector3 direction = yaw * new Vector3(inputMoveAxis.x, 0, inputMoveAxis.y);
        Vector3 targetMovePosition = rb.position + direction * Time.deltaTime * speed;
        Vector3 axis = Vector3.up;
        float angle = turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime * inputTurnAxis;
        Quaternion q = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, axis);
```so why is there so much code in mine but so little in his?

[severe saffron]

I think you're gonna have to hit up more tutorials on stuff like vector math. I can see you rotate the input based on an objects yaw (assuming camera or controller), but this only works in a flat game.

[cerulean gale]

Does anybody have a script that can get my controller placeholders (which are just cubes that follow the controller pos) to work similar to the hand from half-life Alyx?

[severe saffron]

whats the difference?

[cerulean gale]

don't the ones from half life get stopped by walls and get stopped when trying to push one object inside of another instead of just pushing them through eachother?

[severe saffron]

ah yeah; in that case I would look up valem's tutorials. The magic is in the configjoint

[cerulean gale]

okay, tysm!

[severe saffron]

you can also get decent output from a fixedjoint but its not as flexible

[tiny niche]

that means you need physics simulation on the hands, which is a whole lot more involved that just adding a script

[severe saffron]

^ quick tutorial: you've already got the controller position on your cubes. Add a kinematic rigidbody to the cubes, and then joint your handRB to this controllerRB. Config joint or fixed. Or spring if you're a psycho.
???
profit

[tiny niche]

a kinematic body does not react to the environment, it's to make the environment react to something that's not simulated itself

[severe saffron]

yeah the controllerRB is kinematic. The jointed hand object is not

[tiny niche]

joints don't need to attach to a body though

[severe saffron]

oh thats true; I just figured it would be easier considering they already have a dummy object

no need to write code to update anchors...

[forest roost]

I would, but the problem is that I am in the middle of a game jam and I simply don't have the time

[tiny niche]

well the problem is you end up with 2 collision meshes that respond entirely differently to outside interaction

[severe saffron]

well the controller RB is just an RB without collider

[tiny niche]

then skip the feature

[severe saffron]

yeah you probably need to ditch sphere worlds if its a VR gamejam entry

[tiny niche]

physics hands is something you spend weeks perfecting

[forest roost]

It's pretty much the main feature of the entire game, and the rest is already made. I only just noticed he issue

[forest roost]

This has nothing to do with the hands

[tiny niche]

oh i got you mixed up

[forest roost]

well, nnot just now, yesterday

[severe saffron]

Sphere world is the most important feature?

[tiny niche]

but yea, don't even try a sphere world unless you're comfortable with linear algebra

[forest roost]

Well ye

The problem is that I got this to work fine on flatscreen

[severe saffron]

typically when I gamejam I am writing the most basic stuff. I wouldnt use gamejams for learning a new complex thing unless I had weeks to do it

[forest roost]

And I understand the physics behind it, I just don't know how to translate that over to VR

[tiny niche]

then ditch vr on the jam?

[forest roost]

It's the VR Game Jam 😭

[tiny niche]

well you're in a jam, so you can't just spend time solving things and instead have to use your imagination to avoid issues

[forest roost]

This issue is unavoidable though

since it's quite literally the main gimmick of the game

[tiny niche]

so pick a different gimmick

[forest roost]

I can't. There's no time.

I've already spent days working on the other parts

[tiny niche]

well now you learned the most important lesson, eliminate unknowns by testing early and doing the things that seems hard first

[forest roost]

I didn't know this was hard, and the solution also isn't hard, I just don't know how to apply it. Why can't y'all just help me instead of lecture me about things I already know?

Sorry if that came over rude but like I came for help and what I got is a lecture about why I should already know these things

[severe saffron]

nah I gave you pointers on what to research

not our fault you have no time

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tiny niche]

we did help, its just not the help you wanted

[forest roost]

It's not that I dont have time, it's simply that I've tried tons of things and nothing works. THAT'S why I came here looking for help

[severe saffron]

short of writing the code for you; Im not sure what better answer we could have given?

I told you your input vectors need to be rotated to match the gravity direction
beyond that I think I said you rotate the XR origin by changing its .up = your gravity direction again

[tiny niche]

by trying tons of things, you mean you've designed solutions validated them "on paper" and implemented them correctly but found the results unsatisfying?

cause i wouldn't count it as an attempt unless the implementation did what you designed it to do

[forest roost]

Right, and one of the things I tried was replace the general use of Vector3.up to the XR Origin's Transform.up, which resulted in the exact same issue

[severe saffron]

that only works when you actually rotate the transform though. I didnt see that in the video/code above

[forest roost]

All the solutions led to either one of 2 things:

1. The exact same result, because this is how I've already made it and thus my mind is going to make things similar to that
2. A similar result with some other weird issue like inverted controls

[severe saffron]

is your moveposition still based entirely off X and Z input and nothing else?

[forest roost]

I tried adding an Invisible capsule as the object that would be the reference, which, as a child, did rotate with the gravity. However, the issue remained

[severe saffron]

if its that code from earlier only yaw reference is supported

it doesnt rotate all axis.

[forest roost]

My code remains the exact same other than the change of Vector3.up to Capsule.transform.up

[severe saffron]

so yeah...the vectors are flat. Its written for a flat plane.

[tiny niche]

inverted controls is not a weird issue, it just means you're not thinking about coordinate spaces correctly. probably just means the inverted parts are in a flipped space

[forest roost]

Yep, I've fixed those inverted control issues, but they just led to the same issue, which I know is due to the code being written for a flat plane

[tiny niche]

so translate the math to a curved plane

[forest roost]

I've also tried this Quaternion yaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y, 0);, which I thought would get rid of the issue with the flat plane thing, but found the results to literally teleport me thousands away

[forest roost]

Which I lack the knowledge of how to do.

Another similar issue I face is that when the player does eventually get over the halfway point, they just start floating underneath it. Which also doesn't make any sense since there's no default -y gravity applied

[tiny niche]

well that's where linear algebra enters the picture. Think of every transform as its own coordinate space and you should be able to transform between them until you end up with something where you can input the x/y/z coordinates directly into a vector and get it in the correct place in world space

[tiny niche]

why not? the gravity vector on a sphere world should always point towards the center

[forest roost]

I meant just the general Unity physics engine's Gravity

You know, the one when you enable useGravity on a RigidBody

I think this is the issue?

[tiny niche]

well i assumed you turned it off, since it's not the correct solution for a sphere world

[forest roost]

I did

That's why I'm confused

[tiny niche]

well if gravity is turned off, you can rule that out as the cause

[forest roost]

wait now it is like that

I have my Movement on a parent game object of the actual player, could this be the issue?

[tiny niche]

not if you rotated it

[forest roost]

No, because the movement is applied to the rigidBody, and not this

hmm

I'm so confused

[tiny niche]

you have to remember that the surface is bent though, so some shortcuts that we normally use in the tracking space is not going to work

[forest roost]

    private void Update()
    {
        inputMoveAxis = moveInputSource.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        inputTurnAxis = turnInputSource.action.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Quaternion yaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y, 0);
        Vector3 direction = yaw * new Vector3(inputMoveAxis.x, 0, inputMoveAxis.y);
        Vector3 targetMovePosition = rb.position + direction * Time.deltaTime * speed;
        Vector3 axis = rb.gameObject.transform.up;
        float angle = turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime * inputTurnAxis;
        Quaternion q = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, axis);

        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * q);

        Vector3 newPosition = q * (targetMovePosition - turnSource.position) + turnSource.position;

        rb.MovePosition(newPosition);
    }
```I genuinely can't tell which part of this would be "flat"

[tiny niche]

since the tracking space assumes the floor is flat

[tiny niche]

wait, why are you doing euler math there? that's very easy to get wrong and break

[forest roost]

Because that's what Valem did in his tutorial, I honestly didn't think too much about it...

[tiny niche]

that said, you need to calculate the rotation based on the head position and not the tracking space origin

[forest roost]

In my basic movement script that I had before adapting Valem's, the same issue was present though. And that didn't use Euler math att all

[tiny niche]

yea he got to do the simple version because he had an up vector aligned with the y-axis

[forest roost]

Ah, I see

[severe saffron]

the yaw is flat. Affects Y rotation only, and doesnt affect pitch or roll.
the input vector is flat. X and Z movement only.

The flat input is rotated by a flat rotation and then you ask the RB to move to this new position with no Y change

[tiny niche]

well that's what you'd expect, but it should be applied in sphere space and not world space

[forest roost]

could the issue be in this line?
Quaternion yaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y, 0);

transform in this case is the parent gameobject which is just flat lmao

I'm trying rn with the gameObject which has the RigidBody Attached to it

[tiny niche]

a better solution is to do the movement in long/lat/alt though, that way you can easily transform from flat to sphere space and the resulting position vector can be normalized to the y axis

[forest roost]

Nope. Now I have messed up controls and still the same issues 🙂

[forest roost]

I'm not even going to lie and say I know what this means

[tiny niche]

its the same as gps coordinates, longitude, latitude and altitude

longitude and latitude is essentially distance in an axis around a sphere

[forest roost]

I know the terms, but I don't know how you'd translate coordinates to a float (y position), heck, even how you'd get coordinates in the first place

[tiny niche]

thing is you don't "get" them, you set them

and the position is just a unit circle equation done twice

multiplied by altitude that is

[forest roost]

Why do I have to do all this work to make it work in VR though? It all seems to work fine on flat screen. It's not like physics in VR are different from flatscreen physics

[tiny niche]

no but the way you interact with the physics engine is

[forest roost]

But the player is still a Rigidbody

[tiny niche]

with an offset

put an arbitrary offset on the flat screen version to match and you'll get the same issue

[forest roost]

What?

[tiny niche]

you're forgetting to account for the tracking space origin

that's the missing link

[forest roost]

You mean because the player isn't literally in the middle of their room? and Always the same length? I thought I had solved that issue by changing their collider's height & location based on the location of the camera

[tiny niche]

that doesn't work unless you account for the curvature of the sphere while doing it

[forest roost]

But look, it works fine. The height just isn't changing because I don't have my headset on, but that shouldnn't be an issue

[tiny niche]

the only reason it normally works is because the up vector is the same at the tracking space origin and the head position

[forest roost]

• The gravity script makes sure the player's camera is translated based on their rotation from the center

(Player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(localUp, gravityUp) * Player.transform.rotation;)

[tiny niche]

the sphere is so big that its hard to tell, but the up vector looks off there

[forest roost]

they look fine to me

[tiny niche]

try shrink the sphere to 3m

should be obvious if its off then

[forest roost]

still looks fine to me

[tiny niche]

and the camera is not aligned to the tracking center there?

[forest roost]

Pretty sure it is

1s my unity just randomly crashed

Good thing I saved it

[tiny niche]

cause if you don't have the camera off center, then its a self-validating test

[forest roost]

wdym "not off center"?

Don't I want it to be centered?

or what

I'm confsued now

[tiny niche]

if the head position is aligned with the tracking origin, then you're not properly testing for issues you'll have in vr

the head should be off to the side somewhere

[forest roost]

At this size I'm actually able to go to the bottom

you know, If I ignore the controls being fucked

I have to kinda wiggle my way through spamming random directions in the process

and the bunny hopping of course

and ye, I put the capsule their to show the center, seems like the head isn't in the exact same location

[tiny niche]

i bet you didn't translate the controls to match the head in sphere space

[forest roost]

this is if I tuck, so the size does change

[forest roost]

I guess I didn't...?

[tiny niche]

yea this is why you really need to understand the math when you take something like this on

[forest roost]

I think I understand the math, but I don't know how to translate it to Unity

[tiny niche]

well you can do the math in unity the same way you would on paper, so that shouldn't be an issue

but unity does have helper methods for doing common operations that can really speed things up

[forest roost]

Well ye, I didn't mean "I understand the math", I meant that I understand the theory if someone were to write it down for me

{

    private Vector2 inputMoveAxis;


    private void Update()
    {
        inputMoveAxis = moveInputSource.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

```This is what is controlling my input at the core

https://gdl.space/pexilajanu.cpp - Movement
https://gdl.space/imowesixed.cpp - Physics Rig, changes player size & allat
https://gdl.space/zixonumula.cpp - Gravity

[tiny niche]

inputMoveAxis is in rotational sphere space there, you need to account for the curved surface or the velocities you send to the physics engine is going to end up wrong

[forest roost]

And that's the part I don't understand

[tiny niche]

that said, the physics engine works in discrete increments, so its going to have trouble with high velocities and small radiuses

[tiny niche]

well the physics engine wants to move in a straight line, but its a sphere world and thus it has to move in an arc instead

[forest roost]

Ye that's math I don't know how to start with.

I simly lack the basic knowledge of archs

I know about parabolas that's it

which I guess are sorta half Arcs but that's not the point

[tiny niche]

that's where the unit circle equation comes into play, you can write that in a way where you calculate positions from distance along the circumference

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

the unit circle can then be used to translate a flat space into a spherical one. you just have to run it once for longitude and once for latitude

[forest roost]

I recognize it, but don't think I've ever actually applied it. Most I've done with trigonometry is calculating corners using SOH CAH TOA

[tiny niche]

yea the unit circle is the more complete description behind those shorthands you learn early on

[forest roost]

So what do I do? I don't really have the time to practice a whole new branch of maths in 2 days...

[tiny niche]

you do it anyways or find something productive to do during those 2 days

[forest roost]

Right so this whole discussion was pointless

oh well

[tiny niche]

you learned how to solve your problem, now you just have to do it. We're not going to give you the implementation, only tell you how to find it

[forest roost]

No no I totally understand you can't just provide me with the code, but it's just a huge setback

[tiny niche]

its just a gamejam, its there to give you a chance to try things. Now you've tried this and found out where your knowledge gaps are, so mission success

next gamejam you'll know which problems to avoid

[forest roost]

True, but I've been waiting for this jam for over a year, I had stuff prepared but just on flatscreen. Guess I'll just have to do something else then

I'm sure I'll find an alternative

what a bummer

[tiny niche]

why wait? you could've just made the game and figured things out

[forest roost]

I haven't had access to VR since ~2 weeks ago

[tiny niche]

don't think of a gamejam as a place where you make your dream project though, think of it as a learning opportunity where you get to find out just what you can do in a limited timespan

and you still have 2 days left where you can iterate, find and try to avoid new roadblocks

cause at the end of the day its all about avoiding issues, not solving them. If you where to solve them, there'd be no point in the time limitation

[snow bolt]

Hey has anyone here had issues getting microphone to work for pico or oculus?

I've added permissions, I've checked if the permissions are accepted, I'm et the frequency range, I've checked the mics are in the devices list.

[acoustic knoll]

I think I had to force permissions on app initialisation, but it was a long time ago. That was for the Quest 2

[quasi smelt]

hello everyone! im having an issue with calibrating my vr avatar.

im using the xr origin along with UMA and VRIK and for some reason the head ik target that i made child of my origin camera will change position after i hit play.

ive been looking about what component might be causing the head IK to change position but with no luck. i tried disabling the xr origin, VRIK and UMAdynamic character avatar components, all seperately and even all together but the problem persists and i cant locate the source! i even tried setting it up from the start

has anyone had a similar issue?

thanks!

[tiny niche]

should work fine as long as its in the manifest. no need for a runtime check

[snow bolt]

What do you mean by "force" I've added it to the manifest and I've also checked if permissions are accepted and it is

[snow bolt]

Also when I log the microphones it shows they are there

[acoustic knoll]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Android.Permission.RequestUserPermission.html

Our app wasn’t asking the user for permission when they launched so we had to request permission on initialisation

[honest nacelle]

How do i make my XR Origin tp between scenes/places in the same scene without bugging out and bringing the thing im grabbing?

[forest roost]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.0/manual/snap-turn-provider-action-based.html
I'm trying to make a roll like Echo's where you can go forwards and backwards along the X axis, I've tried the following:
https://gdl.space/kuwopujaya.cpp
However, it didn't work. Nothing happens at all.

Then I decided to take a look at the Continuous Turn Provider that already exists for VR, however looking at the script, there doesn't seem to be anything that actually handles the turning in here...
https://gdl.space/ezovoburoy.cs

Any ideas ?

[north path]

Yep, just change the packages manifest file

Any errors that pop up after the change?
Any typos?
Do you have the package as a folder in the packages folder (if so, this overrides the manifest)

[orchid jolt]

Hey so I need some help. So im using open xr to make a vr game and I need to acess the Continous Move Provider (Action Based) to change the speed of the player through script. The problem is I don't know how to acess it through script. Im pretty sure you need to have a using UntiyEngine.Something but I don't know what. So If someone could help me on how to acess openXR scripts through scripts that would be wonderfull. I hope that makes sense if not just let me know. ThankYou!

[orchid jolt]

Figured it out!

[compact gazelle]

https://youtu.be/C56pvnVILmY Hello everybody,i am ready to launch my game for VR but i have 1 last problem to solve,like you can see from the video when i move my head it is like the UI follows me and it shouldn't do like it,i have this error just in the PC build while with Android everything works fine. The game is also rendered just on right eye and not on the left. Can you help me?

These are the setting i am using,what should i give you to help me to solve the problem?

this is also the thread in the unity forum https://forum.unity.com/threads/ui-follows-the-headset-and-the-game-render-just-in-1-eye.1455466/

[compact gazelle]

Somebody?

[pine bison]

Never seen this before. But your canvas proportions are really tiny. I usually have my world canvas scale at like 0.005 which means you can leave the dimensions at 1080/720 for example. I don’t know if that would cause this though

[compact gazelle]

I don’t think,it is strange cause it is just the UI,the rest works perfect

[pine bison]

I’m referring to your canvas settings

I’d set up some tests in a different scene

Also what unity version and XR Management version are you on?

[compact gazelle]

I don’t know cause I am on my pc,unity was like the 2022 but I don’t know the exact version

But it worked some time ago,I am quite sure I touched something but I have no idea what

[honest nacelle]

i have this, using a script how do i check if the button is pressed?

[gray turret]

Hello everyone, I have a question regards Unity and VR Development. Is it possible to display two different images, one in the monitor and another one on my VR headset? Something like HL Alyx where in the monitor people can see an HUD while the player cannot inside the HMD. Or like VR Giants where a player controls a tiny human with a regular controller while another player controls the Giant in VR.

[sick moat]

hey i need help fast im trying to build my game to my oculus headset but i have an error that says unityeditor.buildplayerwindow + buildmethodexeption: 2 errors

hello

[sick moat]

is no one gonna help me

Patience @sick moat
And send the full error, as the line you copied says nothing about the issue

Yes, definitely!
On the PC camera make sure it's set to output to monitor 1

[shrewd sentinel]

Anyone know how I can get better frame rates in the unity editor when play testing? I get horrible stuttering on my valve index even in the most basic of empty scenes, unless I build and run it (I know build and run has better performance generally, but is there any way to make it a bit better in the editor since the performance gap is dramatic)

[tiny niche]

close as many parts of the unity editor as possible and/or switch to a better cpu

oh and make sure you're not running out of ram

[shrewd sentinel]

I have a 3070ti and 5800x with 32GB of ram, the reason I ask is because I feel like it might be a Vsync or framerate mismatch related bug but I don't know

I should be able to run multiple instances of this game just fine, does the unity editor really take up that much preformance?

[tiny niche]

you should not have any perf issues with that, you've got something going wrong on your machine then

unless its a laptop?

[shrewd sentinel]

nope it's a desktop

It's really weird

[tiny niche]

unless you have overheating issues or really old and slow ram, then i'd go for a complete windows reinstall

[shrewd sentinel]

It's a newer system and my cooling is sufficient. This only happens in the unity editor by the way, if I build and run the game it runs flawlessly and I run other games just fine too

[tiny niche]

yea but there's significantly more cpu traffic, with more cores being used when you run in the editor

[shrewd sentinel]

hmm...

[tiny niche]

and when you say empty scene i assume you mean the default scene in the vr template?

[shrewd sentinel]

just a plane on the ground and XR origin using URP

I get crazy stuttering

[tiny niche]

yea but did you start with the vr template? otherwise we have no standardized working point of origin to go by

first step is to eliminate the possible mistakes you might've made, then you check your machine and if neither is the cause, then you missed something while doing the other 2

[shrewd sentinel]

the option in unity hub? No. I'm using XR toolkit and started with a 3D URP scene. I also play tested in the XR toolkit starter assets scene and still stuttered a lot so I don't think I could've made any mistakes that would cause this

[tiny niche]

that means you configured the vr settings by hand. use the vr template so you can eliminate that cause

[shrewd sentinel]

alright creating one now

[tiny niche]

and if the issue persists, you have to assume your machine is the issue. Hopefully its just something being broken on disk, but you could have something you've actively configured incorrectly or broken hardware

[shrewd sentinel]

Can't be my hardware, I run VR games just fine even on the same disk. It has to do with unity, I just don't know what

[tiny niche]

vr template should not have that issue, since it doesn't even use urp

[shrewd sentinel]

🤷

[tiny niche]

that's like saying there's nothing wrong with your hybrid car because it handles city traffic just fine, but as soon as you go on a highway it breaks down

[shrewd sentinel]

Can you give me specifics on what could be wrong with my hardware that would cause any issue to only happen in the unity editor? It's obviously unity, and if the issue is that unity has insane necessities when in the editor on a VR scene then I'll take that for an answer. Though I feel like this would be a more known topic if that were the case

[tiny niche]

since you have that issue, you either used the wrong template or there's something broken with your unity install

[tiny niche]

if it really only happens in unity then unity is the issue, but if you eliminate unity as the issue then it has to be something else and that would mean you think it only happens in unity, but in reality you just missed the other places it happens when you tested

hence why you eliminate unity first

you also have to remember that you're currently in the one in a million scenario with these issues

[shrewd sentinel]

the package manager error is odd. I'll try looking into that first

[tiny niche]

and the most common cause of that is you're describing something you did wrong, or you did something wrong ages ago that is causing issues now

[shrewd sentinel]

I installed unity like 2 weeks ago and haven't tweaked any settings. Maybe steam vr? The valve index does have frame rate options and mine is high so maybe unity isn't as optimized with high frame rates in VR or something

I'll try lowering it I guess or mess with vsync on my monitor idk. Not really getting anywhere here unless someone has encountered a similar issue

[tiny niche]

yea everything has to be up to spec, unity, steam, gpu settings, windows settings

not to mention any index specific drivers

but its more likely something wrong on the unity end and the most likely cause is you picking the wrong template or picking a template version that doesn't match the unity version you're then using

and if that's not the case, then you might've bricked the unity install or template cache by doing something weird at some point

unfortunately there's no vr readiness check in unity that you can run to make sure everything is as it should be

[topaz creek]

Hello! I'm trying to install Windows Build Support (IL2CPP) in the Unity Hub and it pops up with an error saying: "Install failed: Validation Failed". I looked at the Unity Logs and this caught my eye:

Guys I'm trying to force drop from my xr grabbables, can't find anything that works, any ideas please?

[tiny niche]

the framework is not set up to allow that

Any suggested work arounds?

[tiny niche]

modify the grabber/interaction manager

i'd just roll my own at that point though

[random hamlet]

Hmm ok I'll have to give it a go cheers

[south remnant]

Hey people, I had a question. If I add an animator to a gameobject, and then record the animations on one of its child components, does this mean that when the parent component moves, the child component (+ it's animation) moves along with it as well? Let's say I have a controller animated, to moving towards a cube up and down, when the cube was originally placed on a table. Now, the animation on controller moving up and down the cube is playing. But, when the cube is picked, will the animation also move along with it?

Hierarchy of Objects :

EmptyParent-CubeWithPickAnimation (Has XR Grab Interactable attached as it's component)
=> Controller Prefab (Is the object, that's animated, from the Empty Parent's animator)
=> Cube Object

Hi all! I am new to C#/Unity and new to this channel. I am learning so that I can create psychological experiments in VR. Anyone in this channel doing anything similar or have some good resources for data collection?

[tiny niche]

how you want to store the data depends on what type of data you want to collect. But you should also check your local laws to make sure your human experiments are done in a way that's legal. It's quite common to have a list of things you can/can't do along with needing to go before a review board to get it sanctioned, which may or may not need a uni affiliation

but generally speaking, you want to keep your pii separated from the actual research data and everything should be stored with "strong encryption" applied

oh and make sure its all encrypted in transit as well

Air Hockey in VR sounds like allot of fun, good luck!

Oculus Toolkit API question
When dealing with InputActions in code, what the point of the "ignore" variable after CallbackContext?

void Action (InputAction.CallbackContext ignore)```

[tiny niche]

its a parameter and probably a janky version of telling you not to use it

[cinder acorn]

but exactly, if its not meant to be used then why even add it in API? 🗿 must be a reason

[tiny niche]

well its probably used internally and they just didn't bother figuring out a way to properly encapsulate it

[tranquil stirrup]

Of course. We’re doing it at a university so all the IRB boxes will be checked!

[tiny niche]

yea the most important part then is secure storage and logging access

hey can anyone help me? im making a gorilla tag fan game and im wondering how to make a one handed mode like gorilla tag does anyone know how

Look for a guide and only use the physics on 1 hand

[strong bobcat]

Hi I am currently starting with the development of a vr game in Unity. Now i've followed multiple tutorials on how to make hands by using the controllers. (I am using the Quest 2) I can't get it to work, does anybody know why?
(My controllers do work in normal games and everything)

[tiny niche]

well we don't know why it wasn't working for you, only that you made multiple attempts

[strong bobcat]

I reallly don't know as well. I followed the steps from the Oculus package sample scene but it doesn't show any hands neither does it show any movement except for the headset itself

[tiny niche]

well start by checking the project settings to make sure everything is configured for quest2

[strong bobcat]

It's supposed to look like this right?

[tiny niche]

never seen foveation before, but i would expect quest support to be ticked

and then you need controller profiles deeper in the settings

[strong bobcat]

Like this?

Or are these the wrong controller profiles

Also this is the style i went for if that helps:

[tiny niche]

and you're looking at android settings now, not pcvr

[strong bobcat]

In that case this one?

[tiny niche]

yea

[strong bobcat]

Is it good like this?

[tiny niche]

maybe, you're not showing the rest of the settings

[strong bobcat]

What do you want to see?

[tiny niche]

i also wouldn't use multi pass

[strong bobcat]

Single pass instanced instead?

[tiny niche]

the settings behind the button i pasted an image of

[tiny niche]

yea, you always use that

[tiny niche]

then it should be fine

[strong bobcat]

Still dead, does this look ok?

[strong bobcat]

OH WAIT WAIT

Does this have anything to do with it?

[tiny niche]

maybe, but you shouldn't be using steamvr if your machine is set up correctly

either way, you should be doing the vr check on the project

[strong bobcat]

So I should remove steamvr support?

[strong bobcat]

How do i do that? Sorry I'm new to this but it's for an exam

[tiny niche]

not the runtime, but definitely the sdk

[tiny niche]

it should be in the settings, a button that does a checklist on your project and report errors

[strong bobcat]

This?

[tiny niche]

yea

second error is likely your issue

but it should be all green when you proceed

[strong bobcat]

I pressed fix all and apply all, but now when I start it up

This is what it's supposed to look like but it teleports me into the wall

[strong bobcat]

This is the only error I'm left with

[tiny niche]

yea that one you can ignore

[strong bobcat]

OK so i found someting

If I run it and then click back to scene while running it and then click on one of the hands, I see that it does register the hands

You can see that it registered my hand movement

But then somehow still no hands show up or actually move in x/y/z direction, they only look around

This explains it better

[shrewd sentinel]

@strong bobcat Have you tried following the tutorial from valem? He explains it very simply and goes over all the settings and packages you need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtTtvBF5bI

part 2 of the tutorial teaches how to set up hands.

Additionally if you import the starter assets from the package you can import already made and functional controllers into your scene into your project (shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xln6TvPtHI8)

[prisma sinew]

does anybody have an idea why i am being laucned off into a different position and cant work out why i am

[tiny niche]

self-penetration, you've got 2 rigid bodies trying to be part of the same rig, while detecting collisions with each other

[astral knot]

Hey everyone. I'm working on physics hands that collide with objects, both rigidbody and static like tables using the XR Interaction Toolkit. I don't want them to go through surfaces like walls and tables. Currently I'm using a Configurable Joint, but has anyone used the xr grab interactable velocity tracking script? I know you can pick up an object using the script with a ray and move it around, preventing them from going through static objects. Is it possible to parent a "hand" to the Right Controller, and have the xr grab interactable velocity tracking script attach to the hand always follow? I wasn't sure if there was a setting I need to configure. Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks.

[tiny niche]

if you're getting crashes, you can be pretty sure its a package and not the editor at fault

[tiny niche]

yea but blame the packages, not the editor

that said, things aren't going to be more stable because its LTS. It's just going to stick around longer

[tiny niche]

that's a common misconception, LTS is just recommended to new people because its more likely people know about the issues it had

and if you're making documentation or tutorials then its less work to only update them every 4 years instead of every 2

[autumn pewter]

Hi Everyone, Why it happening, when I want to grab some object, it goes away from the hands/controllers? Why I can not grab them properly?

[tribal nest]

Hey! I'm having some trouble with multiplayer. I'm using Legacy LibOVR+VRAPI so that hand tracking works with the link cable/ in general, but when I try to build, I get an error saying:
"OpenXR backend for Oculus Plugin is disabled, which is required to support Unity OpenXR Plugin", and it tells me to enable it. In the project settings, I'm building for Windows desktop right now, and only the Oculus box is ticked, not OpenXR. The same is true with the android settings, although I'm not building with it so it shouldn't matter. Any thoughts on how to make this work?

[lean radish]

do anchor overrides for reflection probes work for anyone in forward+?

[prisma sinew]

hiya does anybody know whats going wrong as you can see the character is bobbing alot in the server but the object they are holding is staying still in their hand any ideas

[lean radish]

looks like its colliding with your hand causing it to push back

[final basin]

Is anyone using the new dynamic resolution feature in the latest Oculus plugin? I've implemented an equivalent thing (because im not using OVRManager), but it's not working as intended with URP. I'm setting the renderScale in the URP asset to the max value and then using XRSettings.renderViewportScale to only render to part of the eye texture. Visually I can see that its working, but when i change the renderViewportScale i get a lot of lag, and after a minute of scaling up and down I run out of memory and the app crashes. It seems like it's reallocating the eye texture and not releasing old eye textures, but it should only reallocate if you change XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale, not when you change renderViewportScale.
Config: Vulkan, Graphics Jobs enabled, OculusXR Plugin, Multiview, URP 12.1.9 (Oculus 2021.3 branch with Motion Vectors support), AppSW enabled

I've also tried other systems like enabling Dynamic Resolution on the camera and using the ScalableBufferManager, or getting all XRDisplaySubsystem instances and setting displaySubsystem.scaleOfAllViewports instead, but everything i try either doesn't work or lags even worse and crashes even sooner. I've been pouring over the the URP source code for days and haven't found a solution, so i'm worried it might be a bug inside the oculus XR plugin or an incompatibility with my specific project config

[gray tangle]

does anyone wanna make a vr game with me dm if your you want to i have 5 months of unity experice and i am 13

[vivid condor]

In the xr interaction toolkit - does it matter which behavior I use (Device based / action based) if i plan on using Oculus + hand tracking (with linked cable)?

[north path]

Pretty much always use action based with the new input system

Device based is outdated

[vivid condor]

does it mean i need the steamvr basestation?

[north path]

No?
The difference is that action based uses the new input system

The supported devices is the same

[vivid condor]

when i last tested through cable, it didn't work on action based for some reason

[north path]

Then you probably ran the old input system or set something up wrong

[vivid condor]

it had the default settings from the samples

[north path]

Probably best to follow a startup guide or something. The samples don't change the settings afaik

[vivid condor]

i'll need to double check in that case, thanks.

[autumn pewter]

how can I resolve it?

[north path]

Use physics layers and ignore the collision between hands and objects?

[north path]

Maybe an issue with server side physics and the sync of them?

[prisma sinew]

thats what im thinking tbh

[old robin]

Im making a mod for Blade and Sorcery - but I cant seem to get the camera that is used for this scope to capture anything that is actually in game. In the Unity Editor, the camera has no problem capturing the item that I put in front of it but in game the camera just shows the skybox. Any ideas?

[leaden mist]

What does the attach transform on the XR Grab Interactable actually do? I figured it would be where the player would pick the object up by when they grab it, but it seems that grabbing any object with an attach transform assigned causes it to float several meters away from the player, and upon dropping it the object stretches in a strange way.

Here is the attach transform of the shell object. There are no other scripts attached to the object other than a default grab interactable with attach transform assigned

[leaden mist]

Figured it out, didn't know it had struggles with being velocity tracked in some cases

[pine bison]

I would guess this is due to the game using layers, and the mask on th ecamera needs to match those

[random hamlet]

guys ive made a VR build using XR Toolkit framework, works fine in unity, but in the build on quest 2 cant i grab anything..... any ideas??

nvm sorry may have fixed my own issue, in player settings i was using Occulus instead of OpenXR on Android.... hopefully this fixes the issue

[random hamlet]

now i get a manifest error when trying to upload to developer hub :(:(

[old robin]

the camera is set to everything so i think that this isnt the problem

[north path]

Gotta share the error
You do need a custom manifest on applab

And possibly need to use the oculus xr plugin (but input should be cross compatible with openxr)

[random hamlet]

Is there a generic manifest? I keep getting errors when trying to upload the build to applab

[north path]

If you import oculus integration from the asset store in a seperate project you can generate the manifest there and copy it over :p

[random hamlet]

Sweet Ty for the tip will give it a go

[random spruce]

gesture

[random hamlet]

so when i build with OpenXR selected on the android tab, game loads in a window not in VR, so back to square one where i can grab and test in unity but cant grab (but poke works) in the build

[tiny niche]

check for exceptions in the build. when you have issues that are not rendering or tracking related, you most likely have something throwing exceptions due to an assumption you made that is only valid for pcvr

the script then throws an exception, which unfortunately doesn't crash the app but instead silently stops executing the rest of the logic and keeps going

[random hamlet]

thanks will rebuild and see if any exceptions throw

im making the game for quest 2 only at the moment

[random hamlet]

No errors/warnings thrown in the build

[solar dew]

HI GUYS i need help in webXR ,i need to pick an object using handtracking in webvr how to do?

[tiny niche]

how do you want the picking to work from a ux standpoint?

[random hamlet]

Still having trouble, so I made a UI debug in game and made a build to check any errors being thrown when playing stand alone, and no errors are being flagged, literally can't figure out why it's only the build I can't grab objects

[tiny niche]

use the adb and step through it

[random hamlet]

not sure how i would do that in build? cuz in unity editor everything works fine, im just confused that movement and turning works using XR rig, but grabbing dont

[tiny niche]

that's what adb is for, lets you hook up the vs debugger over tcp to an android app

[random hamlet]

could i use the developer hub?

[tiny niche]

for what? you need the adb to be running in order to have something to connect the remote debugger to

[random hamlet]

really not sure how to do that will have to look into it

[random hamlet]

(feels silly) ive fixed it, seems at some point i manually selected the xr input manager, i removed the references and now it works fine... how frustrating lol

[solar dew]

Bro 1st i need to get hand tracking then using that hand i need to pick an object from table whb i pinch thats it and i need this in webxr how to do share me any tutorials or samples that will be help

On GitHub there is an up to date webxr exporter, which has hand tracking for quest I think.
Look at that and the documentation.

There won't be a lot of guides for it

OpenXR (Hand Tracking Subsystem & meta hand Tracking aim)
Com.Unity.XR.Hands

[lofty tangle]

Would anyone be interested in a tutorial series for basic vr stuff not using the xr toolkit? Just trying to gauge interest as most tuts I see are xr interaction toolkit based.

[tiny niche]

i think a lot of people would, since the toolkit has significant drawbacks and learning how to architect an alternate solution that scales well with complexity is not easy

but the architecture is the key part there. You can do a classic toybox example in the tutorial, but you'd also need to cover a bit about how it fits into the bigger picture

[vivid condor]

does anyone have a good idea on how to simulate walking while in hands mode only?
would rather the person not physically walk yet have control of movement.

[tiny niche]

you want to pinch on the object? the oculus sdk has pinch detection and finger positions, so all you then need is a containment check against the object

[high bison]

Hello, im newbie on doing app for VR and i have a question. I hope my english will not betray me 😅 I want to build a app, which will run on windows (as normal built windows app) and simultaneously on VR (oculus 2). Something like when you test on Unity editor with connected VR... Dont you know how to create/built this? Mainly i want to create 2 inputs (computer user and VR user) who use same app and control it together

[severe saffron]

sounds like you'll need some kind of socket communication / networking

not exactly the most newbie friendly choice of projects lmao

Hy guys,I would implement the body in my Vr game like eleven table tennis,is there a package that I have to implement or something like that to add this feature?

[pine bison]

If you search for VR avatars in unity, you will get several results. You have different options

[compact gazelle]

ok thanks

[north path]

Are Unity, XRIT, Input System, XR Management and your xr plugins updated?

[compact gazelle]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/meta-sdk-not-working.1459489/

Can somebody help me?

[livid pier]

Just started playing with XRHands, nice to have an abstraction to make building for different headsets easier. I'm sure that pose/gesture recognition is on the roadmap, but is that a calendar 2023 feature or "some day, who knows" feature?

[lofty tangle]

Does what tracks you’re headset?

[rapid drift]

Hello all, Does anyone have any idea about the pink shader issue only with the left eye in VR?

Unity version : 2022 LTS
VR device : HP reverb G2

[tender pawn]

does anyone know how to pour water in a glass and the glass is filled with water?

[mild igloo]

Hey, maybe I am overlooking but does anyone have any resources related to swapping out the hand models in Oculus Interaction SDK. Can't seem to find information

[dusk linden]

So I'm following the tutorial series by Valem Tutorials and I made an interaction ray just like he did in the tutorial but both moving around and manipulating a grabbed object uses the thumbsticks. I want to make it so movement is disabled when I'm holding an object using the ray but I don't know how and the tutorial doesn't show how.

[livid pier]

Does the object show at all in the right eye? I saw this on Quest (pink left, nothing right) and it was just a missing/invalid shader.

[noble totem]

Hi people. I am confused about some packages. We are developing for Quest 2/Pro specifically at the moment, but we used OpenXR because it allowed us to track the position of the headset. This is probably also possible with Oculus XR. Is there a good reason to use OpenXR, other then 'You can port to other devices easily' ?

[north path]

At this moment not really. It's mostly about the ease of developing for different platforms.
If you exclusively use quest, you can use both (oculus xr even gives some extra features like phase sync, late latching, FFR, etc)

[north path]

By using particles (or changing mesh) for the pouring, and a rising flat circle with vertex and fragment shaders to fake the ripples/gravity/etc

[north path]

The shader used probably does not support single pass instanced. Try to use a default material or shader graph material, add the support into the shader yourself, or if that's not possible use multi pass instead of single pass instanced (this does decrease performance)

We don't know what 'this' means

[noble totem]

Thank you! Do you know what the current status of getting boundaries in both OculusXR and OpenXR are?

[north path]

You can get the boundaries in oculusxr I think, but not OpenXR from what I remember

But not fully sure on this one, never had the need to use it

[noble totem]

We are using XR rig for camera and movement, but would like to get the boundary data from oculus because it's more precise

I just tried to get it with OpenXR, and although I got a rect, it seemed off. This was updated in 1.5 I think, so I had to update Unity for that, Wich caused all kinds of other errors.

So one more question. Is it possible to run OculusXR and OpenXR simultaneously?

I seemed to get null reference errors on OVRManager.boundary

[north path]

Nope, if you want to use the oculus integration you have to use oculusxr

[tawdry sable]

How do I implement Photon into my VR Game, because when I tried I got a bunch of errors.

[tender pawn]

how to fix this?

i have original egg that can play particle when touch the collider. but when i duplicate that egg and then put that duplicate egg to collider. partcile from duplicate egg didnt play, instead particle from original egg play

here the code in collider

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

public class triggergameobject : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ParticleSystem particles;
    //public ParticleSystem particles2;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Food"))
        {
            Debug.Log("entered trigger");
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Food"))
        {
            Debug.Log("stay trigger");
            Destroy(other.gameObject, 3);
            particles.Play();
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Food"))
        {
            Debug.Log("exit trigger");
        }
    }
}

[noble totem]

In my unity project, i use TryGetBoundaryPoints() to receive a list of 4 Vector3's. These should represent a rectangle that is the safe play zone, configured trough the boundary. How would one render these in the correct world space position in game?

[pine bison]

That's totally up to you, you could make a quad mesh, you could use the points in a line renderer, whatever you like

[noble totem]

Yes, thank you. But what about how they are located. Wouldn't i need to do some voodoo math to put then in the correct position?

[pine bison]

That would depend on what space they're in

Presumably they're relative to your play area, so maybe just add your play area world position to the vectors

[noble totem]

What is the 'play area' ?

[pine bison]

That would be the XR Origin

[noble totem]

not the camera?

[pine bison]

No, the camera moves within the play area, and you don't want the bounds to move with the player

[noble totem]

agreed. So it would be based on the rotation of the XR Origin then?

[pine bison]

Position and rotation yes

[noble totem]

have you ever used this system?

[pine bison]

Nope

[noble totem]

ok

[real vector]

I tried my game (URP) for a native quest 2 build and performance is horrible. I made an empty scene with a cube and its giving me the same problem. Any one has any idea what could cause this? I tried both Oculus and OpenXR option

As you can see I lowered the quality pretty as low as you can get for testing purposes

[compact gazelle]

Hi guys,is there someone that could help me to integrate meta avatars sdk into my project?

[rapid pumice]

I'm facing the same problem. I've been running through some YouTube videos that are like "best Unity optimizations for building in VR", but it's taking a shitload of time.

[real vector]

Dang, that's not very hopeful. I thought the performance would be a little more forgiving

[lofty tangle]

that shouldn't be an issue, especially if there is just a couple cubes in your scene. though when i was working on my vr game jam entry the other week i have an issue like that with an empty scene being really jittery like it was getting really low frame rate. i fixed it but i dont remember if i did anything or if i just rebuilt it and it worked.

[rapid pumice]

I have a similar scene with a plane, sphere and an audio source on the sphere, the standard XR Origin for movement. And it just wouldn't load or just have negative FPS lol.

[rapid pumice]

right. I'm sure it's just a small setting or the other that we've overlooked. Not really sure what though.

[rapid pumice]

I do have tomorrow which I have dedicated towards solving this issue. I will keep this thread and you updated.

[real vector]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I also worked on it the whole day today and whatever graphics change I did, nothing seemed to have any effect. With ADB I notice that singlepass (multiview) completely breaks it. Tomorrow I will try to create a new project in URP, check again, then build-in pipeline, and compare
2023/07/13 14:49:57.042 26677 26788 Error Unity OPENGL NATIVE PLUG-IN ERROR: GL_INVALID_OPERATION: Operation illegal in current state

[compact gazelle]

I will also pay if somebody helps me

[rapid pumice]

Yeah. Single pass for some reason, just "echoes" out the right eye output. It's like the visual's getting repeated and lagged out but it's fine in the left eye frame. Multi pass works fine and renders to both eye frames correctly. What is weird to me is that all these youtube videos recommend using Single view because it's "less performance heavy". And it also makes sense, but my project seems to be having none of it.

[real vector]

wait so you are getting the same errors on single-pass? I thought its related to a shader that im using or somerthing

[rapid pumice]

Well, kind of.

You could say it does "break" it, since one of the eye frames won't render properly so it's unplayable. So, yeah.

Changing to multi pass does fix it, but I have no idea how that will affect performance.

[real vector]

I see, well for me it does render normally, just spits out erros left-and-right like a madman

[real vector]

You cant use multipass for the Quest

The device will have to render more than its supposed to

[rapid pumice]

Well

That does make sense as I said, unfortunately single pass goes batshit crazy when I play the build on my PC so I have no idea how it would play on the Quest. Not that I haven't tried, but I wasn't able to actually understand because the performance was horrible anyway so I couldn't point out what might be wrong.

[kindred venture]

Hello, sorry if this is a silly question but its something I have been stuck on for a bit and cant seem to google the answer. Does anybody know how to call the OnActivated method for an XRSimpleInteractable without having the object be currently selected (grabbed). I need the player to be able to walk up to an object and press trigger to turn it off. I can only seem to get the OnActivated to fire when the object is being held onto. Essentially I need to turn a light off with a lightswitch by pressing trigger.

[kindred venture]

For anybody who might happen to search this. The solution was to enable Allow Hovered Activate on the XR Direct Interactor on the VR hand.

[potent junco]

hey so im trying to modify a computeshader I use for rendering to render for single pass VR, but the screen is only grey?
if I look in the frame debugger, the compute shader and everything seems to work fine and outputs a texture that looks correct, but between the compute shader rendering and the image being displayed, its all grey, why?
I use a OnRenderImage function to render, and then blit it to the destination rendertexture argument of OnRenderImage
in built-in 2021 btw

[reef hatch]

Anyone knows if HDRP will be supported for Apple Vision pro?

[north path]

No info has been released on it, but I'm quite certain it won't be supported (as ios etc also aren't supported)
And it wouldn't be worth it since performance would be terrible

@potent junco maybe change to multi pass rendering?
It depends on what exactly you are doing

[potent junco]

i did that but then the gbuffer is all funky

[muted laurel]

What would I need for VR physic interactions with NPCs, like Open Viva or boneworks?

So you can grab a NPC on his head or shoulders but he is still standing by him self, he is inly also get influenced by your touch/ vr controller.
(I also try to find a VR solution, that works on eny VR device, like OpenXR... but sadly, openXR is only co compatible with Windows x64, while I am also support windows arm64 and linux x64

[north path]

Look into procedural animation and maybe FinalIK?

[muted laurel]

I need to know, hoe can I make a animated NPC, overwrite his animations, if I grab for example on his shoulders to shake them. Whuke he is still standing and the parts of the body that I did not grabed are still animated.
Its a bit like ragdoll, but its still animated. I am not sure if there is asset or a build-in mechanic for?

[north path]

Probably a smart IK setup

[muted laurel]

It should works close like the one, what boneworks have, to interact with NPCs.

[severe saffron]

boneworks uses puppetmaster

same author as finalIK, rootmotion

its an expensive combo but it gives to easy to knock down puppets out of the box

puppetmaster+finalIK integrate together and gives you even fancier behaviors like aimIK and stagger/balancing and falling / getting up n stuff

[torpid socket]

I'm sorry to bother someone but I'm stuck on this very simple qualm of resizing the teleportation anchor - I want to make the outline of the blue box smaller, so that when I teleport, I don't land on top of the blue box (which keeps happening)

I have a collider that is smaller in scale, so ideally I want to land within it. (ie set the blue box to be smaller than the collider)

[winter hedge]

Hi everyone, i'm trying to make a vr multiplayer game. I'm using netcode for game objects v. 1.5.1 on unity 2022.3.4 LTS and XR Interaction Toolkit v 2.4.0.
I've made a vr player prefab but when i try 2 instances of the game, one in host mode and one in client mode, disconnecting the client makes my host loose control on every input. Camera gets dropped down to the floor and i can't move my controllers. Any idea on how to solve this? OnNetworkDespawn on the vr player prefab surely make some calls to OnDisable or OnDestroy on some XR components but debugging seems impossible. Any help? Thanks

[dull kite]

Hey guys, I am trying to use the OVRPlayerController from the Oculus integration package however when I stand up the player floats in air in the VR headset. Is there a way to automatically make the headset stick to the ground?

[pine bison]

You should only ever have one XR origin in your scene. When you spawn another user, you just want to sync their transforms

[rapid pumice]

I'm trying to build an apk for the Quest 2, but I get his gradle error: a failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.workers$actionfacade

I looked up on the internet and I've found a stack overflow solution that tells me to edit the gradle properties file, but I don't find it on my computer. Anyone had this issue before?

[rapid pumice]

oop never mind, I fixed it.

[rapid pumice]

I've fixed it, I ran a scene with a plane, a sphere, XR Origin and locomotion, and the controllers as cubes.

here are the build settings

and an important thing if you get a "gradle" error that goes like: a failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.workers$actionfacade

You go to Project settings > Player > Publishing settings > Keystore manager > click on keystore on the top left, create a new key > go back to the publishing settings, use a custom keystore and select the key you just made and use that, make sure to enter the password correctly.

[rapid pumice]

All of this if you don't have your keystore password, that is.

@real vector I hope this works for you as well! I'll try this out on my bigger project, and keep you updated if it works.

[astral ravine]

Hello Unity VR devs... I am having trouble with pausing my Oculus projects which have Unity XRI 2.3.2. I capture OnApplicationPause and when that happens I set Time.timescale=0 ... but that stops the Unity XRI headset tracking. The world basically sticks to your head. I get the same thing from just adding my script to the demo scenes (so, it's not my game architecture). What's the right way to do this with Unity XRI 2.3.2 ??

[lofty tangle]

Don’t use timescale = 0 to pause your game. If you want other things using time to still function, like device tracking

[lofty tangle]

Here’s a good example of how.
https://youtu.be/KPaEnLpu57s

[spring radish]

After exporting the vr game from Unity as an APK file and installing it on my phone, the game shows the Unity logo but then immediately crashes. How can I solve this issue?

[tepid birch]

does anyone know if there is a way to have the xr direct interactor grab some items with trigger and some items with grip?

[astral ravine]

Thanks @lofty tangle and thanks for the link - this might be the best approach if you take it from day zero and add support to everything in your project. Weird thing is that timescale=0 works fine with BNG's VRIF asset; guessing they coded specially for that. I can do the event-based approach but have to add it all over the place in my game now.
One thing I like about timescale=0 approach is that it also pauses all coroutines and (I think) InvokeRepeating loops. Maybe the solution for me is to use Unscaled Time for the head tracking - I'm surprised they (Unity) are not doing that already - I will look into that as well.

[lofty tangle]

idk if it can. looks as though each controller has one input option for selecting and one for activating.

[tepid birch]

yea i searched for it for a while but it seems like the only options is to add listener and such rather then actually having the option to grab it differently for each item, thanks tho.

[lofty tangle]

That’s one of the main reasons I went the route of not using a toolkit and making my own interactor method

[cobalt hollow]

does the quest SDK come with some premade handtracking inputs?

like "key" poses

[wet sluice]

Has anyone noticed the Controllers in the VR template seem to be offset inward slightly? I'm using the Rift S, so could be specific to that, but I've not noticed anything like this in other engines.

It's a meaningful amount and I'm not quite sure the best way to fix it

[winged minnow]

Hello. I use playfab for my games backend. I have tried giveing myself a test ban, and when I join the ban scene doesent show. Anyone know how to fix? (I use photon for multiplayer if this helps.)

[vivid flume]

guys I tried to open some Unity XR scene, files was imported
but console reporting errors as usual,
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'XRBaseController' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

does it require one of this ?

[north path]

You gotta give more info than this. We have no idea how the code is setup

[north path]

Which XR scene?
If it's a Unity demo you need to install XR Interaction Toolkit

(But adding OpenXR seems good)

[vivid flume]

hi Dev
I tried to install the Open XR, but it tried to switch to the New Unity Input System, that actually scares me,
so I cancelled it atm, at the very last occasion my whole keyboard system is disabled when I switch to new input system

but let me try this time

[north path]

You can set input to both and use the old and the new one (at the cost of cpu usage).
Most VR systems require the new input system, so if you're starting a VR project, use it

[vivid flume]

now my hands shaking T_T

[north path]

Just set it to both for now

[vivid flume]

I think I'm going to move on, and make new project from Unity official

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVAYB2jkEY @north path

do I need an oculus to run on the editor ?

coz it won't work by mouse and keyboard whatsoever

[north path]

You can use or make a vr simulator to use keyboard controlls

Never used one in XRIT tho (I use VR Interaction Framework)

[vivid flume]

why you never try XRIT ?
and what Unity version is best for VRIF

[north path]

2021.3 is the best for quest and pcvr atm, because of performance
2022.3 is the best if you want to work for psvr2 and vision pro.

I tried XRIT but preferred VRIF since I could make more quick prototypes with it. This was while XRIT was in preview, so not sure how it compares now

[vivid flume]

I'm at 2 platform, PC for indoor playing
and Oculus for outdoor
i'll assume 2021.3 for my PC / windows
and 2022.3 for Oculus

[north path]

Quest has better performance on 2021.3
I don't recommend using 2 different unity versions at all

Both both are fine, just pick 1. For the latest features and new hardware support use 2022.3

@vivid flume

[real vector]

Hm, I checked and this error is not present in Android Logcat

[muted laurel]

Does SteamVR also do the same like OpenXR? Do I even need OpenXR, if I am also using SteamVR?

[nimble bluff]

is it OpenXR reffering to Oculus Quest ?

[real vector]

Except when its bugged like I have right now. 36FPS with an empty sceen and one gameobject

[nimble bluff]

you sounds like playing it on smartphone

[real vector]

What do you mean?

[north path]

36 means vsync.
Make sure you tune the settings.
If you use URP disable SSAO for starters

[north path]

Quest devices and many standalone VR use android, thus can use logcat

[real vector]

Indeed

[real vector]

The first thing that I checked are the URP settings, everything is disabled. Including shadows

[north path]

OpenXR support oculus runtime and windows MR as well, but if you integrate all the platforms you want to support you don't need OpenXR.
OpenXR is usually just quicker to get it running

[north path]

Can you send screenshots of the urp asset which is used for android?

[north path]

And can you send the quality settings in project settings?

[north path]

And the matrix you cut off?

[real vector]

I'm sorry. What is that?

[north path]

The boxes at the top of quality settings

[real vector]

Oh, of course

[north path]

Android uses the balanced tier, and pc uses high fidelity. The green boxes are the default presets

Use the arrow at the bottom to change the default, or just remove the unneeded presets

[real vector]

I see. I will try that

Jesus

that fixed it

So it was not taking my checkbox in mind?

[muted laurel]

Nope? Atleast not to its standalone mode.
But for Windows mixed reality, HTC Vive and PC Oculus.

Even I am always switching the current VR plattforms, so it would be a nightmare to only support one.
I also would like to wish, to also support Linux, but sadly I always get a console error that tells me that OpenXR is windows x64 only...

I am going to publish it on only steam, so I wonder if I even need OpenXR to support all common VR plattforms, like: "vive, oculus ans windows mixed reality"...

Does not SteamVR also have its own OpenXR included? Do i even need the Unity OpenXR if I am also using the SteamVR asset?

[vivid flume]

I mean why it using Q & E to adjust the vertical control ?
also it can't vertically rotated T_T

[north path]

The checkbox is what to include in the build next to the default

[north path]

Quest and pico also have standalone openxr runtimes.
Linux is wanted for sure yes.
SteamVR is the only way to natively run Linux for now

But SteamVR is partially based on OpenXR. At least on windows OpenXR is fully supported for SteamVR

If you use openVR loader/steamVR integration, you don't need OpenXR

[muted laurel]

Why is steamvr "partially" based on openXR?
Whats the difference to OpenXR and SteamVR?

[muted laurel]

What is the "Open VR Loader" and what can it do compared to the "Open XR"?

I installied SteamVR now, and it seems it auto enabled this setting by default.
But what is the truelly difference of OpenVR Loader and OpenXR?

[rapid pumice]

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318110-confusion-steamvr-vs-openxr-opencomposite-8/

[muted laurel]

So I have to find this DCS plugin instead of OpenXR and connect it with the steamvr asset, in case if I want to mix different controllers like valve index knuckles with HP reverb g2?

[muted laurel]

@rapid pumice

Where can I get this DCS plugin now?

Or do I even need anything for VR, besides the SteamVR plugin itself?

To have support for Vive, Oculus and windows mixed reality?

On windows x64 and Linux x64?

[buoyant jolt]

I can't speak to Linux support however there are a half dozen ways to approach this. And it depends a lot on the version of Unity and what you aim to do.

We use our own VR framework built on top of Unity OpenXR. But you can just use the XR Interaction toolkit to get started.

Enable:

• Unity XR management
• Unity XR Interaction toolkit
• Unity XR hands (optional)
• Associated sample packages (optional)

Then install:

• Oculus XR (so we can get Android / Quest support and hand tracking support)
• Kronos OpenXR (or SteamVR controllers won't work for some Unity versions)
• Pico for OpenXR

We then use a shared custom AndroidManifest.xml combing the Oculus and Pico requirements.

That will get you running on:

• Oculus Rift / S
• Oculus Quest 1/2/3
• Pico 3/4
• Vive, Index, etc
• WMR
• Hand tracking support

You are best off creating your own template for it though. Get WMR tested and working. Layer in Oculus. Then do SteamVR last. And then just save that template for future use.

As was mentioned above though it sounds like SteamVR plugin is the only way to add Linux support. And I've found that to destabilize OpenXR and be tricky to get working right (controllers specifically). So you may need to make a pot of coffee and work through it one plugin set at a time - testing builds on windows and Linux as you go.

As for why the plugin Ecosystem is like this, it is mostly from company egos and slow XR unified development by unity.

And there are other options (I.e. VRTK and Ultimate VR) worth looking at too - specifically the VRTK should work with SteamVR directly quite well and likely would be a good Linux alternative to OpenXR for PCVR. Not sure if WMR or Oculus even run on Linux. But they might be usable through SteamVR.

As for DCS, it's a flight Sim- not a plugin. So I think its just a dev in that thread talking about the challenges in the process.

[muted laurel]

your own VR framework built?
Did you just made a collection of plugins and asset? Or did you scripted all thatg stuff by yourself?

Cause I try to find a ready-to-use solution.
For my case, the game will be to performance-heavy for standalone devices.

I am happy if I even get the most common PC-VR-Headsets to work with SteamVR, so that I have Linux-VR support for atleast the Valve Index while Windows is supporting of corse all the PC-VR plattforms "HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality, Oculus and the Index.

Atleast I know is, that SteamVR can mix your Controller with a different Headset, like HP Reverb G2 + Valve Index Controller.

I tried it once with the OpenXR Unity plugin and it did not worked, it just allowed me the original controllers. Now I am starting a entire new Game Project and I want to make the best dessision now instead of invesigating in a VR-System, that is not capable of mixing differen Controllers with VR Headset and having atleast Linux-VR support for the Valve Index.

[muted laurel]

"Kronos OpenXR"
Do you mean this? cause it have "Kronos" in the description, but not in his name...
And where do I get this "pico for OpenXR"?

[buoyant jolt]

That's the one 🙂 Pico is only if you want to support the Pico stand-alone headsets:
https://developer-global.pico-interactive.com/sdk

But yeah, we have our internal SDK. But we have a dozen or so folks and handle about 10-15 projects a month - so we need it to be reliable and predictable for a large volume of headsets

[tender pawn]

how to fix this? i dont know why my hand model become long like scale when it points up to y axis?

[storm ether]

I need help. I have a gtag like game so when I build the game on sidequest or my headset i go into the void and my map is in a older version and the player model is in the current if you know how to fix this please help!!

[muted laurel]

I can't find any Pico plugin, also, the windows mixed reality plugin is causing some weird yellow waring in the OpenXR setting:

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, you just need to click on the XR Plugin Management and make sure the profiles are selected. Then click on the Oculus, OpenVR, etc and check which controllers you want to support.

Pico is installed manually

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you setup the right map in the build setting?

dm me

[buoyant jolt]

No that's not going to happen

[storm ether]

Why?

[storm ether]

I set it up right

should I make a new game then import my map and settings

Perfect now just click on OpenXR and make sure that controllers are enabled there too. It's looking good to me. The only thing is I had a lot of issues with OpenVR and it didn't play well in all Unity versions
