I think we have to rework throwing altogether too tbh.

[mild igloo]

anyone have any tips for getting this line to work with the Quest Pro in Unity?

if (CurrentInputDevice.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.eyesData, out Eyes data))

I am using the Meta XR core and eye tracking is working but I want to get info from the data but can't because it treats the Quest Pro as if eye tracking is disabled. Event though I have verified if works via the manifest in the project and the build settings and config. I also decompiled the APK and verified there as well .

[gritty heart]

Metas eye tracking doesn’t get fed into the input system in openxr. You can make your own input device to do it if you like. We used to have an adapter for this but it had issues so we removed it.

[glossy tundra]

guys, i get a really weird bug crash in unity 6, and my project doesnt open anymore, always crash instantly when openned, i'm downloading the project again to test if solves the issue

[glossy tundra]

someone knows if DrawGizmos can be releated, i discover that the scene was the problem and i revert scene file to an older version and work

[mild igloo]

damn. make my own input device? Do you have a point of reference for this?

[gritty heart]

Well the nice thing is that now you can also do it with input readers, or just setting the transform of the gaze interactor.

Theres an example of a custom input device in the xr hands package, with the meta aim features being lit up through a custom input device

[glossy tundra]

Yes, the problem is the drawing gizmos 😅 , watch out for that guys, because if you made a mistake on that, it doesnt get any errors, and the current scene that you are working on have the script that use draw and crashes, when you try to open the project again unity will open the current scene, and you can`t do anything because it crashs on load, so you will need to use UVCS to revert the file at the point that you removed the script of the scene.

[weary trellis]

You guys recon this is a good way to get around coding in vr? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-scripting/vr-builder-open-source-toolkit-for-vr-creation-201913

[limpid narwhal]

On the component XR General Grab Transformer....
What does "Allow One Handed Scaling" even do? 🤔

Two handed makes sense and works fine, but one hand?
How do you scale something with one hand? 🤷
I can't figure it out.

[hexed bluff]

If you "click in" on the left hand thumbstick it will change between position mode and scale mode, letting you control the local scale of the with forward/backward on the joystick. I don't think this works with XRI 3.x

[limpid narwhal]

Holy smokes -- you're right.
Dang, thanks!! 👍

[uncut plank]

For some reason when i click start to enter playmode the game doesnt start on my headset i have the headset on any everything but it doesnt start the game in the headset? litterly 2 days ago it was working and i didnt change anything but add 3d models???

[mighty mantle]

how do you add listeners to xr interactables/interactors?
primaryInteractable.selectEntered.AddListener(???);
replacing the "???" with any function in the script shows this error and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to be happy with me
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'method group' to 'UnityEngine.Events.UnityAction<UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit.SelectEnterEventArgs>'

basically just want it to do this

but during runtime

[mighty mantle]

if quest link works normally (assuming you're using a quest device) then id assume restarting unity (or maybe your whole pc) should do the trick. if that doesn't work, make sure you didn't change any of your openxr settings on accident

[hexed bluff]

void Start()
{
  m_Interactable.hoverEntered.AddListener(OnHoverEnter);
}

void OnHoverEnter(BaseInteractionEventArgs args)
{
  // Hover Here
}

That should get you started. You can extrapolate that for Select, and Activate. Don't forget to add a RemoveListener as well!

[gritty heart]

Take a look at the interactor affordance provider. It has bindings to all the events

Same for interectable affordance provider

[uncut plank]

quick question do u know how echo vr managed to pull off decently detailed stuff... when ever i port my game to quest 2 its abomadably horrible fps

peaks at 11

it all started when i first imported my 3d models from blender

[mighty mantle]

i never played echo vr, definitely didn't work on it myself so i have no idea how they did anything. i'm also only developing for pcvr so frame issues on quest standalone is not anything ive gotten into yet. if i had to guess you have things that are too high poly or are using a lot of procedural materials instead of texture-based mats

[feral gazelle]

Hello everyone.

Need an advice on something. Is there a tracker that works with quest 3 in standalone mode without PC connection or external base stations? Looking for a solution to implement full body tracking.

[vivid condor]

Does anyone know why The "Menu" interaction works for the Meta Quest 2 but not on the Meta Quest 3 / Pro?

Note: I don't have a Quest 3 to test it, this is knowledge from one of my testers.

[coarse escarp]

hi having a bit of trouble getting a reading from a trigger, I have setup a mapping for trigger and its a value of type axis but not working out how to read it now

[wise warren]

I have a scene with the VR rig at a specific location. When I play this build on the MQ3, I am always out of position and I think it's because the room scale setup always messes with it, so I don't actually spawn into where the rig is in the scene in Unity. Anyone know the best way to try and fix this? I tried a script that teleports me when the scene loads but it still doesn't spawn me where I want to

the script works fine in the editor though, takes me to the right position

[wise warren]

maybe something to do with this?

[undone lance]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of glb files in VR.
I'm downloading avatars at runtime, in a VR app, Oculus Quest 2. When it is downloaded, it makes the screen go black for a few seconds. The logcat doesn't produce any errors, it just seems to refresh itself when it does the download. Someone else enters the room, their avatar starts downloading - I get black screen for 2-3 seconds too of course. Everyone gets it, it's not a random occurrence.
I've worked previously with fbx files only and never had this issue, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact its a glb file and/or the textures?
The Gltf Asset component on the avatar prefab (which accepts the downloaded glb file with the avatar model in it) looks like this.
The URL is empty, because that comes in from a database after you enter the room.

[undone lance]

Also, during the download I get this warning. Could this be related?

[chrome tusk]

Is there a trick or setting somewhere to getting a Post-process volume to work on an OVRCameraRig? I've got the layer set up on my CenterEyeAnchor camera, everything looks great in the scene view. Just testing Ambient Occlusion and Vignette right now. But when I hit play I'm not seeing the effects applied on the headset. Checked quality settings and not seeing anything in there.

[chrome tusk]

disregard, everything I'm reading says post processing = bad for vr

[glossy tundra]

Hello guys, someone knows if its possible to override the movement type of grabinteractable if he was on a socket ?

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, it's totally doable, but comes at a cost. So you just have to be smart with it. A lot of the Pre-modern-post-processing shaders are more performant than their new system but only work with BiRP and some need modifications for VR

[gritty heart]

The built in stuff with urp should work with vr, but our default urp profiles disable them.

Post processing does not work in conjunction with passthrough, presumably not compositor layers however.

[chrome tusk]

Ahh thanks for the info. I'm using built in, ended up doing some pretty cool things with the lighting and shader to get close to the effect I wanted.

[errant spear]

'-' Following this first video, and my controllers dont seem to be tracking but my headset is. Does anyone have any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtTtvBF5bI&list=PLpEoiloH-4eP-OKItF8XNJ8y8e1asOJud

[gritty heart]

Try downloading the vr template from the Unity hub on 2022.3 or Unity 6

[errant spear]

I had to enable and disable my oculus link, my controllers weren't working at all lmao.

[errant spear]

Alright so next issue (if anyone knows) I've got a basic blendtree setup with some hand animations, and I'm trying to create a "thumbs up". Using the current script, I'm only getting the "Grip" and "Trigger" values. Does anyone know how I could obtain whether or not someone's finger is pressing or on the "A" or "X" buttons?

From what I see there is no support for checking buttons being pressed / held down in the xri default actionproperty

Unless I'm just blind

And is there even a way I can add a 3rd parameter?

[errant spear]

Even making my own input action as Oculus Touch Controller "primaryTouched" does not work

Omg I finally managed to get the primary touched value working for Oculus controllers only, but I dont know how to incorporate it with my blend tree as it only allows me 2 parameters

[quasi drum]

I am attempting to change a child TMP_Pro component over the network of an object that I am instantiating and the spawning over the network.

[wild patio]

why do i not have the continous move provider

and i dont have xr interaction manager

what do i do

[gritty heart]

Close your project, delete your package cache in your library folder, or the whole library folder. Reopen Unity, and if it’s not there reimport your xri package and samples

[wild patio]

how do i remove cache

[gritty heart]

Open the folder on your pc, and delete it when Unity is closed

Does any one have a sample project for eye gaze / eye tracking for XR Interaction Toolkit?

The sample provided by XR doesn't have a working sample for eye tracking. I have tried to create a demo myself, but I cannot get the gaze interactor to center to the main camera and the documentation is not much help.

[chrome badge]

i creating a vr game right now and i want to add a player model i can play with how do i do that

[buoyant jolt]

Find model -> drag into project -> drag into scene

If you want it moving to your movements you probably want existing VR avatars or finalik. If you want it other characters, add the animation system. If you want it multiplayer, it depends on the framework, but normcore is an easy way to do a simple start (until you need to sync a variable mind you)

[ebon palm]

Hi, im working with the XR interaction toolkits hand tracking, and for some reason i can only interact with objects using a pinch pose, and i cant figure out how to make that a grab pose instead

[buoyant jolt]

There is an XR simulator with the XRTK, I've never used it though

[gritty heart]

If you’re using quest pro, it’s gonna be tricky because our built in samples use the Microsoft ext eye tracking extension which the quest runtime doesn’t implement. Meta has a different extension but it’s not exposed by our openxr tools

[warm verge]

I am using the htc vive, I was able to get the eye tracking to be accurate, but when hovering the gaze objects given by the prefab it throws an error. I think it was something like gameobject cannot be converted into material.

[gritty heart]

Hmm it’s possible there’s a bug with rig setup for eye gaze, especially moving to xri 3

[warm verge]

The gaze ray and the stableizer needed to be put under the main camera for that to work, not sure how to fix the objects giving an error. I am going to try to work on it tomorrow and I'll let you know if I am able to fix it.

[chrome badge]

thats kinda hard for me to understand

[near radish]

I recently started using XR Interaction Toolkit instead of Meta SDK, but I found that when I grab my controller while using hand tracking, my hands are disabled.
Is there any ways to show my hands & controllers at the same time?

[thin wedge]

Hello Everyone! Im currently going through a build error that says "A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade". Im not sure what to do, as i went through unity forums i did not find a solution. Please help when avaliable .

[warm verge]

Can you send a screenshot of your setup? Here is what mine looks like, I got it through the XR Interaction Toolkit sample.

[warm verge]

My issues have flipped lol. I was able to get the gaze to work by changing the prefab to have its material be a child of the XR Simple Interactable, rather than on the simple interactable.

I am using ignore tracking state and whenever it is not tracking it works perfectly fine.
Whenever it is tracking the beam seems to be flipping to the opposite angle.

I have attacked a video showing this, the first half is with no eye tracking only headset tracking, the second is with eye tracking.

[warm verge]

I should probably say the changes I have made to the prefab:

I put the gaze interactor and the gaze stabilized under the main camera, before it was just in xr origin and the beam always originated from ~~ 0, 0, 0

[warm verge]

Eye Tracking Fixed!

[agile eagle]

Hi! So I'm working on a university project where I am making a VR game in Unity. The game runs fine through the editor and play mode connects everything correctly, but when I make a pc build and run the .exe it just opens in a window on the headset and doesnt actually play in VR. I have tried both OpenXR and Oculus in XR Plug-in Management and I have tried different cables. (Also restarted Meta Quest Link, Unity, PC, Headset, etc.) Any help would be appreciated!

[kind niche]

Try using a android build instead, and then using sidequest to export it to headset.

[agile eagle]

I would like to run the game on the PC and play it on the hmd because it runs better and allows us to have more assets. (also avoids android build limitations)

Never mind solved it i downgraded the xr interaction toolkit to 2.5 from 3.0 and it worked it showed up

[mild igloo]

Anyone know if it is possible to launch a vr app in the background?

[pine bison]

No. it would need to be ported

[eager ledge]

how can i do this the best? i got an Bow from SteamVR so i somehow have to get the SteamVR Hands to the Oculus Player Rig

[pine bison]

You would have to move all the logic across. It's probably easier to just make it from scratch

[eager ledge]

oh hell noo😭

[pine bison]

SteamVR is just incompatible with native quest. You can move across both ways on PC via workarounds, but there's no such option natively

[eager ledge]

is it not possible to map the controller inputs from the oculus controller tracking to the steam VR actions?

[eager ledge]

anyone?😭

[mellow vigil]

It is possible but SteamVR would need to be running/controlling the input for that map to be applied. I dont believe there is a way to override the standard oculus input system in standalone mode other than what people have mentioned above.

[eager ledge]

Ah ok, makes sense

Then i have to get my Laptop with me everytime😭

[rich ridge]

Does anyone know of a good template for multi-user VR?

• specifically one that could be modified to be a persistent space for multi-user interaction with 3D models (.fbx for instance). Maybe with Photon or some other multi-user backend.

[gritty heart]

We're about to release the VR multiplayer template

ITs discussed extensively in the later part of the video here
https://www.youtube.com/live/ZcXnoKTNsIg?si=-oaSC1R2UteMDd6W

[buoyant jolt]

I dont recommend unity game services (sorry to the Unity team) for many reasons. But photon has plenty of multiplayer VR samples on github. Normcore is another one you can get up and running in minutes.

[gritty heart]

Curious why you feel that way. The services have been improving a lot in the past few months.

[buoyant jolt]

Tl;dr: just not personally interested on it. It's expensive compared to our self hosted, it's slower to develop with, not as well documented, not used enough in the industry, not enough regional control, distrust of unty licensing, and locked to a single engine and cloud service.

Having a working template is going to help though. And having it built into the engine will too. But I think it's just a lot easier to get going, especially for new devs, with photon and normcore. And photon does have a decade of support. More experienced devs are likely to roll their own, or use something like fishnet where they have more control. So it kind of is missing an audience imo.

[buoyant jolt]

Original unet was decent until it was killed off though. But I think unity should spend its time helping make things like photon better instead of competing with them

[buoyant jolt]

Although I think unity is shutting those down soon

[gritty heart]

There’s a few things worth noting

• a lot of the services are being streamlined. It’s complex now because it takes a lot of glue code but that’s being made a lot easier
• the template has a 1 click setup that includes all the services
• it’s possible to replace individual parts of the stack with self hosted stuff. In particular the transport layer is modular and replaceable, while still using ngo for the actually building your netcode
• netcode for entities is pretty sweet has client side prediction with rollback out of the box.

[buoyant jolt]

To be fair, a lot of that can be countered or counter claimed though. Normcore offers object persistence out of the box, most claim client side prediction built in, and almost all of them are better suited for custom server integration.

Benchmarks seem kind of all over, so it's hard to say for sure which is best. I'm expecting UGS to win out in the long run though just because it's baked into the engine. I just hope they keep in mind it needs to be usable by new users.

I think my responses are predictable though 😄 love the engine, lots of awesome staff, just not the company. And I always encourage people to explore the options available

Anyway, I don't want to drag out UGS and netcode in the VR channel. I recognize a lot of hard work is going into it

No worries, thank you so much! At least now I know it's not something I'm missing or doing wrong. I will try to explore your suggestion using base interactable or I might give it a try with some sort of IK Solution.

[gritty heart]

Base interactable handles the interaction events but doesnt do any of the motion calculation, so you can integrate it with an ik solution.

You use it to start a grab, then use the tracking input to feed into your ik

Unfortunately it's a limitation of the terrain system, it really doesn't work with scaling changes. You can scale everything else down. Your parenting works in most cases as long as the scale is uniform. For terrain, I had to make a tool for it. But you may find something googling around

That project looks a bit old. You could just try using the vr template that comes with the Unity hub for 2022.3

[uncut plank]

That works?

The thing is less than a month ago it was working fine

[gritty heart]

Hmm well I cant say why it suddenly stopped working. This project is built for 2021.3 though, and you are definitely much better off starting with a newer base.

The packages built in are also super outdated, like openxr and XRI.

[uncut plank]

Alright

Does the vr option have all settings done and have xr interaction toolkit

[gritty heart]

Yes

the mixed reality option too if you prefer that

the mixed reality one also adds hand tracking

[chilly stirrup]

is there a way of setting the offset of the tracked pose driver itself?
looking to do some puppeteering and I have the OpenXR part working with vive trackers and index controllers (using the null driver so no headset as a reference)
I can't think of a good way to "calibrate" my IRL space to my virtual one
the idea I had was to set an offset to the IK rig so they would line up but I don't know how to do that

[gritty heart]

I think you can do this with the input system. You can add a processor on input poses

[chilly stirrup]

I was looking at that earlier, seems to be a candidate
I'm assuming I'd have to write it as I don't see one (there's Invert, Scale and Normalize)
if I can find a way to change the offset value in runtime I'll commit to it

[tidal spire]

I am having problems using scripts to increase the velocity of the player, in this situation I am trying to allow the play to jump in the air on a button press as well as forward velocity. In the script I also use multiple debug.log to see if all is correct, the console brings all appropriate responses from the script however nothing happens. I do not have kinematic set on the rigidbody for the player and gravity applied has been set low for testing, any help would be appreciated.

Script was too large for discord, so had to use a website.
https://gdl.space/raw/izaruxokak

[pine bison]

Overlay mode will not work in VR. Screen space camera works

[pine bison]

Do you have separate scripts for moving and jumping? That's probably not a good idea. In this case, when you set velocity drectly, you overwrite whatever is happening in the other script. You should shoudl use the Rigidbody.AddForce method instead

[tidal spire]

I use the character controller on the XR origin to control moving, I also tried using rb.AddForce before and it still came back the same

***cs
Vector3 jumpDirection = controller.transform.forward * forwardForce + Vector3.up * jumpForce;
rb.AddForce(jumpDirection, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
Debug.Log("Jumping with force: " + jumpDirection);

im about to just uninstall unity and reinstall it... i dont want to do that cause i have a ton of work done on my project

[supple roost]

Go into project settings

[uncut plank]

ok

[supple roost]

one second

[supple roost]

here

show me all the settings

[uncut plank]

ok

@supple roost

[supple roost]

All of the settings in that dropdown...

[uncut plank]

this?

[supple roost]

I can't see what you're showing

[uncut plank]

when i build the game and port it to quest 2 it works

but on oculus link it doesnt open

even if i build the game

[supple roost]

shit i dunno

[uncut plank]

😭

should i reinstall unity

and restart everything

[supple roost]

That might work, but I vaguely remember an issue like this but I solved it by switching some stuff there

[supple roost]

Try unchecking openxr and go oculus

[uncut plank]

ok

[supple roost]

Oh and try a few options here

I think what's happening is that it doesn't want to initialize anything

When it was doing it for me I just said fuck it and used steamVR to test

[uncut plank]

i alr tried that

steam vr didnt launch it either

[supple roost]

Did steamVR open?

[uncut plank]

yea\

but not the application

[supple roost]

and it just didn't say Now Playing somebullshit?

[uncut plank]

oh wait

u ment switching the openxr thing

mb i though u ment before switching that

[supple roost]

this

[supple roost]

I don't think this is relevant

using steamVR worked for me

[uncut plank]

lemme try it

[supple roost]

what do you have Play Mode OpenXR Runtime set to?

[uncut plank]

idk

this?

[supple roost]

No no

[supple roost]

here

[supple roost]

Your shit is so long god damn

Yeah try steamvr there

[uncut plank]

ok

steamvr dont work

[supple roost]

I have a feeling it has to do with quest link being terrible

[uncut plank]

yea

[supple roost]

have you tried doing a total reset for the quest and PC?

(pc just in case)

[uncut plank]

i tried reinstalling quest link

i use rift s

[supple roost]

Headset restart

[uncut plank]

i dont think u can reset headset

ive tried with my other headset

[supple roost]

Oh shit that was before they added all the useless stuff

[uncut plank]

and it didnt work either

[supple roost]

Okay so not a headset issue

Yeah unity reinstall time

[uncut plank]

oof

ill do that tmrw

[supple roost]

rough. Good luck man

[uncut plank]

i wanted to restart anyway

all good cya man ima go sleep before i get yelled at for being up

I am having problems using scripts to increase the velocity of the player, in this situation I am trying to allow the play to jump in the air on a button press as well as forward velocity. In the script I also use multiple debug.log to see if all is correct, the console brings all appropriate responses from the script however nothing happens. I do not have kinematic set on the rigidbody for the player and gravity applied has been set low for testing, any help would be appreciated.
Script was too large for discord, so had to use a website.
https://gdl.space/raw/izaruxokak

[supple roost]

Why is my resolution so visibly low? It's a quest 3

Also my FPS is locked to 60

[gritty heart]

Check the editor settings. You can change the scene view framerate cap

For res there’s a drop down by the game view to adjust that’s if you’re on a laptop it my default to low res mode

[supple roost]

But it's free aspect

shouldn't it conform to my headset

[gritty heart]

Well the res in your gameview is probably for 1 eye buffer, not both. It also shouldnt affect what you see in the headset indeed. Check your quest link settings to affect your res there maybe?

[supple roost]

No no, the headset resolution is low

let me see

[gritty heart]

Sorry I don’t know what’s up

I recommend trying the vr template in the hub with 2022.3 or Unity 6 and seeing if you can repro the issue there

[hybrid adder]

Hey all! im currently trying to adapt the XRJoystick script from the interaction Toolkit v2.3 demo into a better joystick, and ive ran into a weird problem where the rotation goes past the max angle and locks out the value for that axis to the extreme in the distance that it is in.

for context, this is the joystick (to help yall remember)

ideally id like to just apply a fix to it but i dont understand the math behind it all that, so if needed ill swap to a joint based one, but id like some help attempting to solve the problem first!

the code was directly ripped from the interaction toolkit demo, and you can take a look at it here

[uncut plank]

reinstalled unity and its still broke

im gonna go crazy

I get this rendering issue when using a camera that doesn't render XR (a spectator camera). I'm using URP, this only happens in build

it's the colors btw, they are not supposed to be there and don't show up in VR

im working on a unity 3d game to run on google cardboard. when I run the game on my pc it works fine, but when i build and run on my phone the camera/player are in a different position. how can i fix this

Hi all, I'm working on VR app that will work later on pc-vr on vive focus 3. I have an issue in the controllers buttons (ex. primary btn & secondry btn) not working when clicked, but the trigger & grab buttons are working. Any one knows why this happening? I'm already using OpenXR and Vive openxr plugin

Hi, whats the best way to create a throwable ball ? For game like a basketball?
The default xr grab interactable and general grab transformer react either non or too violently to controller/hand movement/force when throwing at a steep angle

[magic slate]

Hey I can’t seem to find documentation on this, i am trying to make a room scale vr game where the player does not use the control but instead walks around a large room that I have. How do I make sure the player is affected by gravity when they move around? If they go over a hill, I need the character to move up with the curve of the hill.

[chrome tusk]

Sounds like you might need to play around with the mass/drag on the rigidbody of the ball, rather than try to change the xr.

[chrome tusk]

See rigidbody also, make your player object non-kinematic and tick on use gravity.

[mighty mantle]

any way to render a camera on one eye only? as far as I can see camera xr target eye only has options for neither or both.

[uncut plank]

can someone help me with my vr unity project. its not opening in the headset. i have tried building the game then running it and i think all my settings are fine. im using the default freshly booted vr game core.

when building the game in android then booting it to quest it works fine but when i use playmode or build it in windows mode it doesnt work

[wanton stag]

i want to build n run

[tardy lynx]

hey, i am using OpenXR, the first pic shows the position of cam in editor, but as soon as i play the game it adds offset which u can see in second pic. Tried to rotate and position the rig but it seems like the offset is added with respect to camera rig.

there is an y offset serialized field on main camera in Open XR Rig prefab. Try changing that

thx

good

I need vr game with agents

understand?

[buoyant jolt]

not really, no.

[uncut plank]

HOW COME i build and run my game and it doesnt boot up in my headset. BUT WHEN I SEND IT TO SOMEONE (The same build... IT LOADS ON THEIR HEADSET dhjgndrghdrn
i have legit been trying to fix this for 2 weeks

[gritty heart]

Try deleting the app manually using adb on your headset

[buoyant jolt]

I'll need a lot more spefics, is it a quest and are you trying to install it as an APK? Does it install? How are you launching it? Can you use adb or logcat to see if there are any error messages? And yeah, as @gritty heart said, definitely try removing it first, in case there is some kind of odd or bad configuration somewhere.

[uncut plank]

im trying to run it on quest link i have tried with 2 different quest 2s and a rift s ALL with no success... i have also had a friend try the exported game and it works on their pc.. but noy mine

and we have the same meta quest settings

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, see thats a very different issue.

[uncut plank]

This is the exported game and its not working on my pc but it works on others pcs

[buoyant jolt]

Running it over Link requires you to have a VR capable PC and treats it as an Oculus Rift. What you need to do, is make sure you are running Oculus Desktop, link is connected and working. Do any other games work? And if they do, and it still doesn't run, you may need to check your player.log and see what the error is

[uncut plank]

all other apps work

[buoyant jolt]

Thats good

That helps

[uncut plank]

its only my unity projects that dont work

ive downloaded other vr unity games from itch

and they work

[buoyant jolt]

Perfect, so the next step, is just to check the player.log and see what errors are happening:

Hey, I've just created a new VR project on Unity 6.0.2 with Meta SDK 66 and there is no tracking on hmd or hands

I see that people are already reporting this on forums

anyone found a fix?

there is nothing inside of here

[uncut plank]

@buoyant jolt i ended up finding it i think

[Subsystems] Failed to initialize subsystem OpenXR Display [error: 1]

To me, this error seems to be the cause:

xrCreateInstance: XR_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR

[uncut plank]

yea

isnt that smtin to do with xr runtime?

[buoyant jolt]

Is this happening in the editor or when you run the exe or both

[uncut plank]

both

btw the project was working less than a month ago perfectly fine

ive tried creating new projects and stuff both with the same outcomes

im going to go eat instructions would be appreciated ur the first one to actually take time and help me @buoyant jolt

[buoyant jolt]

I've never seen this particular error before, so it's definitely a mystery to me

[uncut plank]

ooooooooof ok

should i contact meta?

[sand parrot]

I'm using the Hexabody plugin's Spinning Elevator script, does anybody know how to change the axis it spins on?

[wise warren]

has anyone experienced the quest 3 messing with the skin weights for meshes on models?

like, almost forcing the weights down to 4 bones rather than unlimited

[buoyant jolt]

That's a project setting for android, not just quest specific

[wise warren]

where?

I have it set to unlimited in Quality. When I stream through the editor it looks perfectly fine as well

[buoyant jolt]

It may actually be limited to 4

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mesh-boneWeights.html

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/BoneWeight.html

Like it looks hard coded to 4 to me.

[wise warren]

right, so building to android just ignores what you set in the build settings?

[buoyant jolt]

Rigging says up to 32 though https://docs.unity3d.com/ru/2019.4/Manual/FBXImporter-Rig.html

Which can be set under skin weights with a default of 4.

[wise warren]

okay, so on the rig tab for the model I did set it to 32

even tried 255 which is the max

[buoyant jolt]

Ah, in that case I have no other suggestions, those are the two spots I know of.

[wise warren]

no worries, thanks for having a look

maybe my model is just too intensive

[severe hinge]

Hi. Just got here and figuring stuff out. Working with unity VR and Oculus 2. How do I find the way to increase run acceleration with the hand increase of speed and vise versa to slow a character down?

[tired ferry]

Wait, you want to overall manage speed of locomotion system that is already implemented in package?

I kinda don't get it

[severe hinge]

How do I implement a sprint speed from the normal speed. So doing X makes the toon sprint and stoping X makes him walk again.

[tired ferry]

what movement component are you using? ActionBasedContinuousMoveProvider?

    public bool sprintNow; // This is a field, move this before your class

    void Update()
    {

        ActionBasedContinuousMoveProvider actionBasedContinuousMoveProvider = new ActionBasedContinuousMoveProvider(); // A variable to assign ActionBasedContinuousMoveProvider, for my code I added it, if that component does exist for you, just assign it into this variable
        //actionBasedContinuousMoveProvider.moveSpeed = 1; This is how you can set movement speed
        // Now let's set sprint mechanic
        if (sprintNow)
        {
            actionBasedContinuousMoveProvider.moveSpeed = 3; //Example
        }
        else
        {
            actionBasedContinuousMoveProvider.moveSpeed = 5; //Example
        }
    }```

This code I have written changes the movement speed, you can set the bool to true if player wants to sprint, this code is quite not optimized because it does run with Update method, you can use events which does not overload CPU with useless calls and jobs

[severe hinge]

Some back ground. My 13 year old wants to make a game. I just downloaded unity yesterday per his request and we have it linked to the oculus 2. So we are leaning as we go. He’s planing on getting movements down, then a map, then multiplayer.

So where would I load the code above?

[hexed bluff]

Unity just released tutorial video 2 days ago on building in VR. I'd definitely check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhqCLamOIQk

[severe hinge]

Awesome. Thanks so much for the help all.

[inland burrow]

Hey, building a table top VR game here.
We need to spawn the whole map in front of player and somehow not get reduced Frame Rate.

When we spawn the map FPS goes down to 40-50 but we have to render whole map at once.

Any hints for optimization? We are using URP and Bakery to bake lights on prefab level.

[pine bison]

There's no magic to it, it's optimizing like in any Unity application. Here are two links from the oculus developer pages on optimization.

Hey. Anyone developing for Quest 3 and having problems with hard z-fighting?
In Editor it looks good but in build on quest 3 the z-fighting of sprites in front of geometry is horrible 😄

[mellow pier]

Hello i have a small but anoying error. I have set up a simple scene using the guide on the website and in the editor can see my Hands. Gave them a new Material so they dont have the "ghost hands" anymore. Like i did in another projekt. But in this case i cant see my hands while runing the projekt.
Everything else works fine, i can grab objekts and interact with other stuff, so i know the tracking works and the hands are on the right position but i cant see them and idk why.
I guess its a super simple solution and a classic case of "too obvious". But maybe another pair of eyes can find it and help me.
Thanks!

[buoyant jolt]

It just has a more narrow range (for whatever reason) for geometry compared to a PC. So yeah, you'll need more distance than you might expect to avoid z fighting.

It also does some forced texture compressions by object distance. In case you wonder why a gridline scene doesn't grid very nicely later on

[buoyant jolt]

First, use proper syntax, I'm not reading this anymore until you do. That section of code is for NewBehaviourScript but the error says it is in WalkInPlaceLocomotion on line 18. Double click on it. Go to line 18.

[mighty mantle]

aside from that, if i had to guess then you probably never set the move provider
you can make blocks of code more readable in discord like this if you use three graves (`) before and after the code

[severe hinge]

Thanks. I’ll check that out when I have time.

[tired ferry]

update momento

[crude frost]

Are you talking about bolt the visual scripting tool or bolt the networking tool?

[ivory lodge]

Visual scripting tool

[crude frost]

So Bolt was purchased by Unity, right? And its now called 'Unity Visual Scripting'. I think i tried it once...and it may be helpful to some folks, but I'd never recommend it to anyone. Unless you just really really need to see things visually, and you don't want to take the leap to a more intuitive visual scripting tool like Playmaker or something.

If you're just getting started, and you really want to do coding, Visual Studio with intellisense has come a LONG way, and makes it super easy to get started with coding, because Intellisense can help auto fill your lines of code. ChatGPT is also super helpful to get you started. It can tell you whats wrong with your code, suggest optimization steps, and even teach you what different things mean.

Another thing to consider is what you plan to do with your VR project. There are a LOT of things you can accomplish without a single line of code.

[gloomy bloom]

How can I restrict two-handed rotation (using XRI Toolkit v3) to one axis only (Y-axis)?
I want to be able to rotate placed objects using both hands but only vertically

I've just started the VR Template and I played around with v3 a bit but couldn't figure it out. I'm using the XR Origin prefab from the template with near-far interactors

[mighty mantle]

restricting interaction axis is something ive done, but i didn't do it in the way you might expect
i use a grab interactable that acts entirely normal, except it teleports back to the starting location when it is released
then use a custom script to change the transform of the object you really want to interact with accordingly. that lets you limit translation and rotation along any axis you like, by just telling it to go to the transform with constraints

.
anyways, does anyone know a fair bit about how unity cameras display to the headset? I'm trying to do something fairly specific to achieve a certain effect. I want to render a secondary camera (with the same transform as the HMD-displaying camera) to a render texture on a plane or other object which covers the entire view of the main camera. this is to achieve the effect of an opaque helmet with external cameras that let the player "see" through it. it is only for a transition from helmet display to real eyes, and will not be rendering in that way the entire time. it just needs to look believable enough to make the transition not too jarring.
My only issue is I have no idea how to get this working for vr. It's simple enough for first person games on desktop, but due to vr having realistic perspective I have no idea how to get it to work correctly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

^ for context the point of this is to have a realistic way to have a minimalized hud in vr, plus game balance reasons

Start with high quality and turn it down untill it is gone I guess

nah

turn on after opaques if u want but it makes it look lower quality if its off

will these affect performance? please ping me if you have an answer

[meager falcon]

every post processing effect is affecting performance

[white flicker]

how expensive are these tho?

are they worth keeping?

[meager falcon]

On which device are you working?

or which is your target and lowend device you want to support?

in the end, you could check how it affects the performance on your device if you turn it on and off. 🙂

[white flicker]

quest 2 and 3

[white flicker]

i was wondering if anyone knew how bad it affects performance, if not then ill check myself. thank you :D

[meager falcon]

in this case, try a build on quest 2.
It always depends on your project/scene etc.
I recommend to download the OVR Metrics Tool from the quest store and check how many milliseconds a frame renders with and without postprocessing.

if you are on a stable 72fps you are fine ^^

[white flicker]

alr, ty!

[gritty heart]

The problem with post processing is not the individual effects, it’s the blit you have to do at the end to blend the output of the post process into your frame.

On quest 2 you’re going to struggle with any post processing at all. It’s recommended that if you do color adjustments, you add some global shader variables and modify all the materials in your level, rather than doing post processing

On quest 3 you might be able to get away with it, but the resolution is higher and you pay a cost per pixel with post processing

You’re sacrificing a lot of headroom that could be spent on higher resolution or refresh rate, or even scene complexity and dynamic shadows, in an effort to modify the colors

[white flicker]

ill look into modifying the materials

[cursive sphinx]

Hey, on Quest, I can't save my preferences.json anymore to UnityEngine.Application.persistentDataPath; I get "Access to the path /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ is denied". Used to work fine, but apparently Android changed write permissions. Is there any other place where I can write to on my Quest, and also access the file via the file system? Or another strategy to save and access data?

[buoyant leaf]

In my Unity VR scene, there is a red line that does not go away. This does not appear to be part of my controller setup, as I can move the interactor rays (which are set to white colour). Does anyone know what this red line is? I have played around with the settings, and looked at documentation, but just cannot figure this one out

[wary flame]

It wasn't after 30 minutes, I was trying for about 3 hours at that point, that was my last hope

[buoyant jolt]

That looks like a stray line caster. There is some very questionable code in some of the XR Rigs in earlier unity versions, especially when you have both hand tracking and controllers enabled as it kind of randomly will turn one or the other off in a weird state.

That said, do a search for:
t:LineRenderer in your inspector at play time and see if you have one in your scene that's at 0,0,0. Alternatively do a search in your code for Debug.DrawRay if it's only in the Inspector view.

[buoyant leaf]

Thank you. I will take a look tomorrow

[buoyant jolt]

It's probably just a Ray Interactor on the floor for some reason

Controllers not tracked

[limber granite]

Hello everyone. I have a question. I'm currently using Meta Quest all-in-one SDK in Unity. What I'm trying to do is too make piano keys intractable with the hand-tracking. I put the sounds and box colliders on the keys. The problem that I'm facing is when I press on them using hand tracking, it does not work. Is there a way to put on the default hand a collider to make it collide with the other object?

[slow bison]

Hi I had an error building a project it said I was missing a ndk for Android but I downloaded the ndk while downloading the original editor

Please assist me

[north path]

Did you install both android submodules from the hub?
In preferences - external tools, is 'installed with Unity' checked everywhere?
Did you update Unity already?

@slow bison

[buoyant leaf]

Has anyone here created a Unity VR app/game for the Meta Quest, for free public download? If so, then I was wondering how easy was this for you? Does meta only accept games from major brands? or can anyone upload an app/game if it is made to a certain standard? Also, I would assume side quest is a much easier route.

[frank oasis]

do you mean applab or meta quest store

and yes sidequest is much much easier to get into

[buoyant leaf]

meta quest store, or whatever you guys recommend for a starter like me. I am very new to game development and unity. It is just a hobby, but would love to eventually upload content to meta for free public use. But I also want to be realstic as I know i'm not a major game developer. So was wondering if it may be possible for me to upload my own app one day to meta, and what might be the best route for someone like me.

[frank oasis]

from my understanding the meta quest store is very difficult to get onto, and i think (i may be wrong) is invite-exclusive

however, recently meta sent an announcement that applab apps/games are being moved onto the public store so they are discoverable

[orchid jolt]

Meta is actually pretty chill about getting your game on AppLab (this would be the best route for you) you just have to make sure your apps pass metas VRC (virtual reality checks) then your game is on AppLab

[frank oasis]

^ applab is the most realistic goal

[orchid jolt]

But AppLab is getting removed in a month but it will still be easy to get your game on the horizon store. It’s just a few more VRCs

[buoyant leaf]

Oh really. Ok, I am pleased to hear it may be possible to get it on horizon store. It gives me a reason to continue learning and developing, as that would be fun.

[slow bison]

I’ve never updated unity I should probably did that

[buoyant leaf]

Thank you

[buoyant leaf]

I will check out your game on applab sometime

[slow bison]

Wait why are they removing app lab

[buoyant leaf]

I just read about it. Apparently meta want to merge applab with meta store. and call it meta horizon store

[slow bison]

Got it that’s still pretty dumb

I liked how they had it before

[frank oasis]

"this change will help developers find and grow an audience by providing apps that are new to the Store with greater discovery and visibility" is what the email says

[orchid jolt]

I love working on VR games so I would 100 keep learning!

[buoyant leaf]

I never used applab. But seems like it is a positive change. Becuase everything will appear on the main store, giving all developers visability

[orchid jolt]

I think the horizon store is a great change, you can also mark your game for early access so players kinda know it’s unfinished

[buoyant leaf]

Yeh I love it. Actually I just completed my first scene. My mission was to recreate my garden bar, but in VR. Trying to make it look realistic as possible. And I also added a menu screen. Been such a learning curve and been incredibly time consuming. And I could not have done it without the help from people on this Discord. Its also forced me to be better at Blender, as unity requires perfect models.

[buoyant leaf]

this is good to know. so i could just add main menu and the first few levels. then just add more

[orchid jolt]

You can also get your game on AppLab but not release it then invite people to the beat channel so you can have people beta test without having to side load the APK every time or release the game. I use this and it’s so nice, would recommend if you want people to beta test without releasing the game

[orchid jolt]

Ya VRs hard at first but like everything you’ll get better at it with time.

[buoyant jolt]

As mentioned above - applabs also just about to merge with the Quest store for discovery 🙂 but they may change the process once that happens...

But yeah we've put tons of apps and games in there. It's free, pretty painless compared to epic/steam amd a whole world easier than xbox/sony

[buoyant leaf]

that is handy to know. thanks

[buoyant leaf]

Thanks Lloyd. I actualyl assumed VR would be harder to upload content. So its nice to know its acutally eaiser then releasing on steam. Probably because VR is still relatively new, and they want to encourage developers.

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, there is a process, but it's one of the more painless storefronts for sure.

[slow bison]

The thing I liked about app lab was if you were testing on it(I used to because I couldn’t hook my computer up to my oculus and didn’t know what mobile vr station was) you could still test your game without everyone knowing about it and playing it

I know testing it on app lab wassnt the best idea but still

[buoyant jolt]

Yeha app lab has some big benefits. We have a lot of client stuff that's now going to magically appear in the store because of it

I do like that everyone gets an equal chance of selling games in the store this way though

[slow bison]

Really sorry for the ping but are you available for a vc? It’s not showing me where to do what I need to do and I don’t understand I can’t move on until this is done in my game

[north path]

No, I only do live support for paid jobs

If you didn't understand something I said, just ask

[slow bison]

It says my unity is fully updated and the editor is too but my game still says I’m missing a android ndk file but when I check the editor it says I have it, is it as simple as finding it in my files? If so where would it be? I’m using 2022.3 if that helps

[north path]

In unity hub, installs, then press the gear icon @slow bison

[slow bison]

I did

Sorry u took the photo on a phone but it shows I have it

[north path]

Then check preferences - external tools as I said before @slow bison

Btw that version is very old, maybe update it to get all the big fixes and improvements (including for android!)

[slow bison]

Um sorry I tried manually downloading it but I can’t find the right version can someone give me a link for downloading version NDK r23b (64-bit) (23.1.7779620)?

[north path]

Why not just use the hub with a recent version?

[slow bison]

I guess that is a good idea but what will happen to the rest of the projects I make with that version

@buoyant jolt @orchid jolt I was wondering how you improve the performance of your VR models.

i wanted to make a vr game with my friend we figured out the colaborating system but we don't know where to get the project from any help?

Download the Unity hub and pick a template

[ruby flicker]

yeah i already have a project im searching how to work with my friend live

[gritty heart]

Unity doesnt have multiplayer editing of projects

[ruby flicker]

oh.

[gritty heart]

You can use git or unity's version control system
https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/collaborate-with-plastic-scm#

https://unity.com/solutions/version-control

Youre not gonna get a google docs or figma experience though

[ruby flicker]

im not gonna make a game with my friend considuring we don't know anything about unity.

[buoyant jolt]

You can use something like Scene Fusion for that. It is free for 2 people too.

Although if you are new to programming and not wanting to jump all the way into Unity, there are lots of non-coding platforms these days to make VR games.

[hexed bluff]

Scene Fusion looks really cool. Too bad it's only for LAN environments, would be great for a small in house studio though.

[buoyant jolt]

They have a non LAN version on their website, that's also free for 2 folks I believe. I was chatting with them earlier, for some reason unity made them make it LAN only? But maybe @soft karma can correct me if I'm wrong (in case there is pricing for the cloud one for 2 folks)

[soft karma]

Yeah we have a version that uses a cloud-based session server too for distributed teams to use. It's pretty much the same as the LAN version except it launches remote session instances on dedicated servers.

Also, the LAN versions should work over VPN too, and they should work if you use something like Hamachi. You just might need to use the IP/port connection option because session autodetect might not work over VPNs.

[soft karma]

To answer @buoyant jolt 's question, Unity does not allow online services and external account in their assets, unless you join UVS. Cloud pricing for 2 people is free if the scenes are 20,000 objects or less, otherwise $25/month per person.

[buoyant jolt]

I'm sorry you are facing that... meanwhile they are allowing AI subscription based solutions in by the hundreds 😛

[soft karma]

I think it makes sense what they are doing to a degree. I would like them offer more options in terms of extra services though. The Unreal Marketplace has no restrictions, and are pretty much happy to let you do as you want - it seems to be working for them.

Is there a rigidbody? Is it continues detection? Are the layers set up to collide? Do you move the collider with physics or by setting the position? (Use physics!)
Do you shoot via code or with physics?

[livid dirge]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a document, an e-book or a feedback concerning the best artistic practices for VR.

Thank you,

[wise warren]

has anyone experienced different behaviour with the default XR rig from the toolkit streaming vs built to headset.

I am using a MQ3 and when streaming my app, all is fine where another character in the scene reacts to me based on the distance between my headset or either controller, but when I run the build it is very inconsistent and seems to struggle to react to them.

all the code is doing is runnign some function based on the Vector3 value between this other character and the XR rig I am controlling. It works perfectly fine streaming from the PC but the build or the quest itself is doing something weird

[gritty heart]

Would have to see what you're doing exactly.
There is a difference in the xr origin initial positionning that might be related. It comes down to the headset not yet supporting local floor origin with openxr

[wise warren]

yeah sorry I was trying not to say too much as I don't actually know what I'm allowed to say (Since it's work).

let's just say as I get closer to this other character, it keeps backing away from me (based on the distance between its head and mine with a raycast), then at a certain point it stops backing away and slaps my hands away if I get too close

so yeah maybe it's to d with the local floor tracking - I am using device as you suggested that a while ago to help with spawning in the right place regardless of room boundary

[gritty heart]

if its device based and theres no offset, there really shouldnt be a difference

[wise warren]

it's weird because this character will look at my hands like its supposed to (whicherver one is closest) but it just doesnt slap them away like it dose when streaming

[gritty heart]

Sounds like youll need to do some debugging lol

[wise warren]

doesnt seem like it becuase it basically goes through 90% of the same behaviour. and I am printing out the distances on the canvas between my components and this characters head and the range of values is the same as streaming

[gritty heart]

yeah that sounds right

[wise warren]

weirdly though if I put the controllers behind my back at the start, it jumps from 5m (spawn point, so the difference between me and the character), to like 0.5m or whatever. Almost like when the headset can't see them anymore something weird happens?

[wise warren]

I may try using an empty gameobject as a child on the controller as the reference, rather than the whole gameobject

[gritty heart]

Yeah there might be something funky in your setup outside of the xr origin

[wise warren]

hope there isn't, haven't touched it as its just from the samples folder

and the only differences between streaming and the build is the device or floor tracking

I'm using Vector3.Distance between the two objects - is there a way I should specifically define local space?

could just try [name].transform.LocalPosition instead of [name].transform.position

[gritty heart]

You can transform a position to local space relative to another transform. it'll effectively do the same, but if you use the xr origin's parent for it, then the xr origin is the origin, and the other object's position is a direction vector

local positions need to be under the same reference to be comparable

Also, if you do this every frame, you can use vector3 square magnitude instead of distance

sqmagnitude doesnt change linearly tho, so you might not be able to use it exactly, but its useful for comparing relative distances between two objects, to see which is closer

[buoyant jolt]

I can't help with documentation, but normal maps are used in all our projects.

These may help
https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/native/pc/dg-performance-guidelines/
https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-perf/

[wise warren]

thanks I'll try and play around with this stuff.

Im finding the local space thing a tad confusing

[gritty heart]

Local position is just a position relative to another position.

Think of it like this:

Rig
-- Origin
---- Head
---- Controllers

scene object

If you call inverse transform on any of the objects under rig, you'll get a position relative to rig.

If you call inverse transform on scene object with rig, then you'll get a local position that you can compare against rig

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.InverseTransformPoint.html

[wise warren]

isnt that what Vector3.Distance does then. just gets the local transform between the two objects

[gritty heart]

Distance gets you the magnitude of the direction vector formed between two points. It doesnt know about world, local, or anything

If you have two world vectors, itll be a world distance

A transform also has a rotation and scale btw

Inverse transform point accounts for everything, not just position

[wise warren]

I'm just doing Vector3.Distance (object1.transform.position, object2.transform.position);

oh I get local space now I was being stupid. It's the position relative to its parent if it has one. So if you move the parent worldspace the child's local space willl not change

so presumbaly then i should not care about local space? I should be comparing the world space of the controllers to the worldspace of the other character?

I thought .position would be world space then, since localPosition is obviously local

[gritty heart]

It is world space

Local space can matter depending on your usecase, but it seems like it doesn’t matter to you

[livid dirge]

Lovin dude, many thanks

Hello! Im trying to make a model in Unity for VRC, I'm just trying to make the glasses on my avatar transparent, but also keep the color they have, dose anyone know how to do this for the quest version?

[buoyant jolt]

I dunno what glass shaders VRC supports, but you could add a transparent material with a colour and low alpha (i.e. RGB: 255,0,0,0.25) would put a slight red tint

For figuring out how to include shaders and all that other stuff, you'll need to ask in !vrchat I'm afraid

[ornate quest]

Join the growing VRChat community as you explore, play, and create the future of social VR! https://discord.com/invite/vrchat

[willow remnant]

Right but that would only show up on PC, quest only uses 1 shader, which is the mobile shader

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah you'll need to ask in VR Chat. We have no idea what VRC uses and restricts for Shaders. This is for Unity general, and we can use any shader we want on the Quest.

[willow remnant]

Wait wdym u can use any shader u want on quest?

[buoyant jolt]

Well, within reason. If it isn't setup for VR, you'll need to add a few lines. But for normal Unity use, you aren't restricted to only one shader for Quest

I use custom shaders for it all the time 🙂

[willow remnant]

Oh yea I can put any shader on it, I just meant that vrc restricts what's visible to one shader lol mb

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding Quit Application and Unity in multiuser apps. When quitting a VR app in HTC Vive, the application is suspended in background but Fishnet keeps my user connected a time greater than the Timeout value I have in ClientManager and ServerManager. This time vary depending on how many users are connected and sending information through network. Do you struggle with this error and know a possible solution? OnApplicationQuit, OnApplicationPause and OnApplicationFocus are not called when closing the app through HTC menu. Any suggestion? 🙂

[gritty heart]

Im thinking and the best way I can imagine is, if youre using xri 3.0, create a custom input reader that does an overlap check on the object, and require the select input to have that overlap check for it to be valid. That way, it'll release the select input in the situation you're describing.

[mighty mantle]

i thought of this as well, but how would i do an overlap check when interactors could use a number of methods to check initial selection?
right now, my interactors are just sphere casting, but an interactor could also be a socket that has a normal collider

[gritty heart]

Its tricky because once selection is active, the nearfar interactor stops tracking valid targets. If it kept tracking them, Id recommend just using a target filter, but because it doesnt use that after selection it wont be much help.

You could reuse the interaction casters the nearfar interactor uses, but it won't solve all your issues.

It sounds like its worth you reporting some feedback though, to outline that you'd want a check on interactables that say - require overlap, for selection to persist.

[mighty mantle]

i guess for now ill use an old method i had that deslected based on transform distance, it works ok but on abnormally long colliders that would give unusual results

[gritty heart]

Its not exactly a bug, but you might still be able to report it as one via Help -> report a bug

[mighty mantle]

i could also probably make it slightly better using collider's closestpoint function

is there a way to fix the climbing system in the XRI toolkit so it actually has collision while you're climbing?

[jolly sentinel]

Hi All,
is shared anchors possible for quest3 without using meta spatial anchors? Just by using ARFoundation and XRInteraction?

[stray vapor]

What is XR.Display.PopulateNextFrameDesc? I'm using Unity 2022.3.32f1, XR Interaction Toolkit 3.0.3, Oculus XR Plugin 4.2.0 with Meta Quest 2

it uses a lot of time of every frames

[buoyant jolt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/xrsdk-display.html

This may help explain it and it's purpose

It's likely the same thing more or less as xr.waitforgpu, and likely means the gpu is busy still drawing the last request.

I'd check your batches, poly count, etc.

[silver pewter]

Why Meta Quest 2 link with SteamVR takes so much VRAM? A VR game in that setup have maybe 2/3 GB of VRAM it can use at most in an 8GB VRAM GPU?

[subtle onyx]

Hello, wondering if anyone can help with a very weird crash.

Error CRASH signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr --------

Using Oculus Integration and the built in VR splashscreen there, I get this crash in certain scenes only. The crash is completely repeatable, and only happens if the hands are tracked at the splashscreen. Hands behind my back boots the apk, hands in front of device (Quest 2 / 3) causes an immediate crash after the splashscreen.

This only happens in certain scenes, others are completely fine. Also happens in an empty scene with just the VR rig. Any help is appreciated.

Bumping down max Android SDK level to 12L has made the crash stacktracable, pointing to (void QSortMultiThreaded<int*, std::__ndk1::less<int> >(int*, int*, std::__ndk1::less<int>, JobFence const&, profiling::Marker*) at ??:0) .

Disabling multithreaded rendering has made no difference though...

Hi all! I'm making a VR game, and the Unity editor freezes and requires a restart every time I try to exit play mode. Latest version of Unity (6000.0.11f1), using a Valve Index, OpenVR Loader selected in XR Plug-in Management settings. Pausing execution via IDE, it seems that it's getting stuck on XRLoaderHelper.StopSubsystem<XRInputSubsystem>(). Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any ideas? I haven't tried making a fresh project to see if I can reproduce it with less going on, but that's probably my next step.

[bright ice]

Hello~ I'm thinking about getting the HTC Vive Ultimate tracker (just 1) to play around. Would this work with just single one, and can I develop it in Unity 3D? Appreciate any info

[unique crown]

Hello! I'm getting weird stutter only in VR everytime in a empty scene. The stutter is only in the VR screen, not in the "Game" window of Unity. I started new projects 3 times without success and I try to use OpenXR Plugin in version 1.12.0-exp.1 for see if that help, without success. Do someone already got this problem?

[bright ice]

been a while for me deving, but if your computer spec is not good enough you might get stutter. (I was using a laptop before and had that problem).

[north path]

Did you check the profiler?
What are your PC specs?
Any PC part at 100%?
Is Unity updated?

[north path]

Update Unity
Swap OpenGLES3/Vulkan if possible
Disable Graphics Jobs

For the android sdk version use the recommended versions from the quest quickstart guide

[north path]

Check the latest Unity meta shared spaces demo. It at least uses Unity's networking stack

[subtle onyx]

Thanks for this, going to try the OenGLES3 swap if possible. Disabling graphics jobs didn't seem to resolve it either.

I did some additional digging last night and the issue doesn't occur when using provided OVR Sample rigs, so that's leading me to think its something with the structure of our custom rig. Though that doesn't explain why its happening only for some scenes / builds

[unique crown]

Hi, I'm back from sleeping, I had an RX 7800 XT with an Ryzen 5 5600X so the config is not the problem I think, I use Unity 2022.3.26. I forgot to post my profiler, I come back in 10min the time I wake up and the project start

[unique crown]

Here my profiler

[north path]

That is usually GPU or rendering.
You can check deep profiling to see more, and maybe check the frame debugger

[north path]

That seems to be the same. The timeline just shows it differently

[unique crown]

Yes but I just see PlayerEndOfFrame/XR.Display.SubmitCurrentFrame when I put Rendering in the profiler

And this is the profiler with GPU :p

Now for the frame debugger, Idk how to use it ^^'

[north path]

Wonder what the plugin stuff is, but in general I dont see too much special

Could you try deep profiling in the profiler?

[unique crown]

Deep profiler here

[north path]

Yep, definitely seems like the GPU is being loaded too much. What's the utilization (task manager) when running? @unique crown

You could check the latest Unity 2022 version as well

[unique crown]

Not at home so I gonna check until I'm back to home ^^'

[unique crown]

I'm back

[hollow mural]

Not sure where I should best ask this, but I want to use the meta xr sdk for quest but it always breaks my pc version.
I tried to disable the meta xr feature group on the pc version but it still breaks inputs and steam vr skeletal input.
The inputs I could fix by enabling a combability setting in the SteamVR settings but I wouldn't want my users to change such a setting.
The finger tracking I couldn't fix though, so I'm not sure how I'm meant to do this.
Please ping me if you know a solution
Edit: The broken hand skeleton seams to have been an unrelatd issue.

[unique crown]

I switched from OpenXR to OpenVR and the stutter just doesn't occur now :p

[north path]

Were you using single pass instanced for both?
If so, could you make a bug report so it can be fixed

[unique crown]

I was using single pass

I forgot the result of multiple pass

[floral star]

Im making a vr game and I cant find any tutorials on how to make a working shovel. Can someone help me im lost.

[mellow vigil]

You need to give us some more info. What toolkit you are using, what components are on your shovel object, do you have a hole in the ground object to interact with, etc...

[floral star]

i havent started im newish to the code part

i might want it to deform the terrain or dig up like sail vr kinda

i can probbaly do the rest once i know how I would do it

[mellow vigil]

You should start with some basic tutorials for whichever toolkit you choose. XR Interaction Toolkit is a popular choice.

[floral star]

i think i used that one

[mellow vigil]

I have digging in my game but i just use a particle effect to simulate the ground piling up around the hole

[floral star]

i cant find tutorials to deform the terrain like your digging

thats a good idea

have you used terrain deformation before?

[mellow vigil]

Not personally, check out "Digger" in the unity asset store. You might be able to adjust the code to work for small holes only.

[floral star]

okay thanks

[buoyant jolt]

We have a shovel in our cultivate game. We used mmm voxeland for it

[floral star]

how does it work

[buoyant jolt]

We eventually moved it to a laser gun to dig or undig to make it easier on them

[floral star]

cool

[buoyant jolt]

But there are a lot more free ones these days. It basically just let's you programmatically remove terrain

[floral star]

do u know any free ones i coulnt find any

under terrain deformation anyway

[buoyant jolt]

In case it helps, this is how it worked. It was for a CMF POC. .https://youtu.be/Dvk5YolgO-Q?si=-IW0eb9yGAwiZkbo

You'll want to jump in to 01:35

[floral star]

yes thats the idea i was going for

small areas tho

did you use any tutorials im kinda new

[buoyant jolt]

But basically when the shovel collider hits the floor collider, you just use whatever method the terrain system let's you use for removal.

Most voxel systems will have a size, so you can set it pretty small. And probably fake animate sand on it.

[floral star]

cool

thank you thats saved me alot of time

[buoyant jolt]

I'm not sure to be honest 😦 I built this one on the VRTK I believe but I'd use XR Interaction Toolkit, it's pretty solid these days

... at least for getting started, itll save a ton of time. It can be difficult to extend comparatively.

[floral star]

where do you find the xr interaction toolkit?

is it on the store

[buoyant jolt]

That oens built into Unity (free, headset agnostic and includes hand tracking) 🙂 they have some good tutorials on !learn just filter for the XRTK

[ornate quest]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[floral star]

so if i use the xr kit that pops up when making a project it will be instaled?

[buoyant jolt]

That's the one!

It has a script to make it easy to lift up anything with the controllers. So then it's just a matter of detecting when it hits things, then doing something to remove dirt when it does

[fathom cairn]

im making a vr game but im in my vr and when i click play my screen and the vr just turns gray. what do i do

nvm i fixed it

how do i fix. no normcoreAppSettings object set. make sure your realtime instance has a valid normcoreAppSettings object in order to connect. that happens every time i try to play y game in vr

[hazy mist]

when i try to export my game i get a error

what do i do

[buoyant jolt]

Probably best to Google the build errors and fix the root cause.

[buoyant jolt]

I'd ask either in #archived-networking but be more clear in the error, or maybe post on the Normcore discord

[fathom cairn]

ok

[buoyant jolt]

Best guess you are missing the object in the scene it says is missing though

[hybrid herald]

I'm using Unity version 2022.3.39f1, using the VR Core template with XRI Toolkit v3.0. I'm having trouble figuring out why changing the physics layer makes the Interactor just, not interact with the interactables. All I wanted to do was change the physics layer of a magazine for a gun so it doesn't collide with the gun, but changing the physics layer also affects the interactables somehow :X.
I placed two similar spheres to test it out. They both have the default interactable layers. But one does not work (The one without default physics layer). Everything I've searched doesn't seem to work with this version and I'm kind of stumped 🥲

[undone osprey]

Hey guys, in xr interaction toolkit 3.0, how to take input and put logic on top of it in script - is there any documentation or video please share i googled but everything I find is a basic setup.

I want to add a function when trigger button hits on right hand controller, is there any event section of right hand trigger button where I can add this function

[gritty heart]

You can just follow the general input system for that. Just grab the action and bind to it in a script. You can also click on the sample action map and click generate c# bindings and then you’ll be able to easily read the code there.

[hybrid herald]

Am I just misunderstanding how interactable layers work? They have to do with the physics layers?

But the interactors are set to check every physics layer so idk

[gritty heart]

Interaction layers are separate from physics layers

[long fern]

Hello, what is the best practice to prevent player from going and peeking through walls?

[crude frost]

I think the MR Template has components on the player prefab for this. Might look into the demo scene.

[storm ether]

What's the most popular and used vr framework for unity? Does anyone have any suggestions to take a look at? (besides XR toolkit)
Paid, free, either.

[buoyant jolt]

If you physics block them they can give them motion sickness. If you let them wall through walls you need an anticheat or way of handling it. If you fade to black without an indicator they may not be able to find their way back.

So every games a bit different.

We have games like muffin fight where we have hidden exploratory areas if you wall walk. Horror games that fade to black. Some action games where we block scene items popping through the wall. And some sports titles that bounce you against it (in our case because you are on a flying bird).

[buoyant jolt]

Xrtk, vrtk, autohands, hurricane, vrif, ultimate - or direct via Pico sdk, meta, steamvr. There are many. No idea what has the biggest user base next to XRTK, it changes every so often.

Personally I find the VRTK to be the most reliable and easiest to extend, with the most samples and features.

But we use our own framework, as we've been pushing away from unity for a long time now.

[tiny niche]

best way of handling it is to simply do nothing. I'd try to see if the gameplay could be designed around that first

[long fern]

Can you elaborate? I don't think I understand

[tiny niche]

simply handle it by not handling it. Basically let the players poke their head through walls and that's that

if you can design your game around it, its going to be a better experience for the players

there are some things you can do though, like rendering the backside of your walls, so they don't end up peeking through half the level if they tilt their head into a wall in a hallway

[long fern]

Yea, but that takes preciouse memory on VR standalone. Also if I do nothing then every door, wall etc. lose meaning

[tiny niche]

turning off backface culling has 0 impact on memory usage

[lusty coral]

is there a place i can show off my VR work?

How do yáll tackle gradle errors?

any help please? so i am building a vr project and recently changed laptop now i can't build project and keep getting gradle errors in all existing projects that i used to build.

[buoyant jolt]

You need to go through those individual errors and read the body for details. One will tell you specifically why it failed

It'll probably be the one that says 6 errors. If you click on it and read the body you should see what they are

[crystal dagger]

im having problem with my vr game and its model any way to fix this?

the model isnt where it should be and isnt on my hands/camera

[crude frost]

You haven't provided enough information.
What model?
Where should it be?
How does it get there?

[crystal dagger]

this is what it looks like

the hand should be on that little circle

and when moving my controller it rotates the entire model

ive used photon vr and fast IK fabric for the model

[crystal dagger]

do you have any ideas of any fixes with some of the new things i said?

[crude frost]

sounds like your hierarchy is messed up. I'm unfamiliar with IK Fabric or how it moves the models.
Based on your current model though, using an IK tool is probably overkill.
For now I'd make the head and chest a child of your camera. And make the hands children of the appropriate controller.

If its being networked, at network transforms to those objects.
Make your XR rig not part of your networked player. Just make it part of the scene.

When you spawn your Avatar, have logic that makes them children of the correct objects as mentioned above.

[crystal dagger]

problem is that i joined them since when it wasnt merged it would send a error and i couldnt move it out of the model

so i cant only put the head and chest under my camera and hands under the controller

[tribal viper]

Hello I am new and would like to create a VR app with hands that are detect through the camera for a project. Can you tell me how I could do and/or the steps to follow.Thanks who can't help me !

[crude frost]

Which headset are you targeting? and mobile or stand alone?

[tribal viper]

We can't on pc with a camera

[crude frost]

oh. thats not really VR then, right? Thats a flatscreen hand tracking app?

[tribal viper]

Not really in fact we want to do like VR but with hands detect by the camera of a pc with the same 3D interface

[crude frost]

Most of the tools VR devs use are specific to VR HMDs. The app you're trying to build would be defined as "gesture recognition" or "hand tracking" applications. Similar to what the Xbox 360 Kinect did back in the day. I would google Implementations people have done with the Xbox 360 Kinect. I think there are even Unity Assets on the Asset store to utilize the Kinect.

[tribal viper]

We want to make smart glasses with AR with the same interface as the meta Quest but instead of the controllers it works thanks to the hands with all the interactions

[tribal viper]

Ok, you'll keep me informed

[tribal viper]

How can i do it?

[fathom cairn]

anyone know how to fix this error?

[crude frost]

its not an error. just a deprecation warning. the way to fix it, is to not have visual studio code set as your IDE.

[gray radish]

trying to diagnose the strangest problem right now. Using XR Interaciton Toolkit's XR rig, someone on my team is having their rig break on Quest 3 specifically when scenes transition. This does not happen for Quest 2. The other user's project is identical (linked in source control)

any speculation as to what could possibly be causing differences? I don't have a quest 3 to replicate testing with. Their rig spawns in the floor, head movement stops working, and controllers are undetected. This doesn't happen prior to a scene swap

[fathom cairn]

@crude frost do u know how to fix this? cause it pops up when i try to play my game.

[crude frost]

Are they able to test in editor? Is it possible duplicate XR Managers are appearing during scene change?

usually I only have once scene with my XR stuff, and it just never gets destroyed on scene change

[crude frost]

It appears related to Normcore. I'm not sure what that is. Is it a multiplayer solution? Looks like you haven't set your app API Ids in its settings. Probably a scriptable object.

[gray radish]

It works fine in editor/via Link Cable, but not on build (on the Quest 3. Works fine on the 2). We currently have 2 XR rigs, one in each scene, and fully unload the old scene before transitioning

[slow bison]

I deleted unity but if anyone wants to have a challenge I have one and if possible where you actually make it I would enjoy the ndk file anyway if you’ve ever watched Naruto you know that there are hand signs for all the Justus, well though it’s not good for fast gameplay currently in later headsets it would be awesome, basically you use hand tracking and have different players use different combinations for their justu using ai to make sure that their hands are in the right position I hope someone can make this

[tribal viper]

So you know how I can do for my AR or you would have documentation

[tribal viper]

So ?

[torpid ginkgo]

@tribal viper There's no point to bump discord channels, it's just spam and annoying people who already seen the post.

[tribal viper]

No

[torpid ginkgo]

@tribal viper So what r means there?

[tribal viper]

Nothing

R = rien = nothing

It's a French abbreviation

[torpid ginkgo]

You should stick to English here to prevent any misunderstandings.

Especially after being confrontational about moderation.

[tribal viper]

I know since I'm bilingual I just forgot that I had to speak English

You are a moderator ?

[torpid ginkgo]

You can inspect community members roles.

[tribal viper]

Oh ok

I have a question, is the AR for VR headsets or is it for everything like PCs

Hello,
We're experiencing a Microphone bug when starting the Microphone the usual way, with Microphone.Start().
What happens on the Quest 2 is that when we put the headset to sleep mode, by pressing the button on the side, the Microphone stops. BUT this bug is inconsistent, at least from our tests, it looks like the Microphone only stops if when coming back from sleep mode on the Quest 2, we get a popup window (like enter passcode, choose user account, etc.). If we don't get a popup, from our tests, the microphone doesn't stop.

We don't like that when starting the microphone on the quest there is always a black frame. Would it be best practice to always start the Microphone when coming back from an OnApplicationPause event?

Do other people have that bug?

I'll take a look at this. Thanks for sharing

[gritty heart]

Just out of curiosity, have you played with the project settings -> Interaction mode? By default the editor does frame throttling. Setting to no throttling might resolve your issue. I think that default changed between 2021 and 2022.

Hi all! One of the projects i'm trying to work on is targeting the quest 3 VR headset using OpenXR with Meta XR compatibility(because of the Oculus Meta SDK that i'd rather use also has bugs in it for Unity 6). However, in order to do that I need to build with il2cpp and that means i have to build for the arm64 architecture which i guess is just a no go?

I've tried these versions:
6000.0.13f1, 6000.0.12f1, 2022.3.40f1

And I get the same error (crashes when trying to build)
https://pastecode.dev/s/eelhfm2e

anyone know how to make it so when i hit a button (there will be 10 buttons) an object will swap out with another specific object (there are 10 objects in total) i want it so it just swaps out with whatever specific object is in that place if that makes sense if someone could help me or give me a video that'd be great (btw im not 100% sure but do i need to add any extensions like XR Interaction Toolkit?)

[wise warren]

I'm having a slight problem with the OpenXR default rig from the XR interation toolkit:
when I build my project to the meta quest 3, I seem to be spawning slightly in the air, and the capsule collider component (Techically the character controller) is therefore also sliughtly above the ground. How can I prevent this? I need to be on the ground.

I am using floor based tracking now as I need to account for player height. maybe that is causing a problem?

[wise warren]

is there a way I can access the height calculated by the XR Origin script and then apply that to my own capsule colllider

[wispy willow]

just add a script to each button that deactivates the one object on click and activates the other, using SetActive(true/false). Yes you need the xr interaction toolkit to handle input and interactions

[waxen parrot]

I'll try thx man

Hey everyone. Im trying to build an apk for the Quest 2 using Unity 6 URP. When I run the apk, I only get the left eye working, the right eye doesn't show anything. Even when the splash screen starts the right eye is blank. OpenXR is set to Single Passed Instanced \ Multi-view. Multipass works, but from my understanding that's not recommended. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys saket here
I am having an issue running my VR app on Quest 2. I have basically made a VR game in which I have added a terrain on which I have mass-placed trees & some objects, & have 4 flocking/schooling simulations & a second scene where the player can draw on a canvas in VR. The total polycount is around 700k to 1M.
When I build the app in my Quest 2 the app doesn't open it only shows 3 loading dots indefinitely. But when I installed the app on my Android phone the app works (but I can't navigate obviously)
I have also uploaded the apk file on the itch.io website ( https://digitekas.itch.io/mindful-oasis-vr )could someone try to run it on their own headset preferably quest 2 or 3 ( I have heard quest 3 has more computing power compared to quest 2)

hey I'm using the meta sdk now and it seems like the keyboard controls are not working at all, you think is because of unity 6? Should i use 2022 stable one?

actually i tested out. This was the problem. Fuck off i lost an entire day just because of the version.

[buoyant jolt]

Just a faulty android manifest or graphics setting. 90% of the time removing Vulcan from the graphics pipeline will fix it. 10% is just a manifest tweak.

[rocky thicket]

anyone knows how can I get the passthrough image (the headset cam view) so i can process it in Unity afterwards? Comparing to the simulator, in Unity i cannot see the passthrough.

[minor storm]

I am using that, I just can't figure out how to get the input from controllers, When I open my project in a few I can show you my code.

[ember trail]

hi lloyd thank you for the reply, can you tell me where I can remove vulcan from the graphics pipeline, I am not able to find it ( I am using Built in render pipeline)

These are my player settings

[frank oasis]

You’d need to reference an action in the inspector

[frank oasis]

there should be some videos online abt it tho

[minor storm]

I've looked online but couldn't really find anything

[minor storm]

I'm trying something like this, however I don't know what to use in "inputDevices" to get controller data, like the grip and such

[buoyant jolt]

I'm sure you got it by now, but you need to uncheck auto graphics, that'll show Vulcan in the build list. Remove that.

The second possibility is a faulty manifest file.

[hexed bluff]

Any luck with the voice on the VR

[wise warren]

Hey, yeah I see people reporting the last stable version was 2022.3 LTS

Did you try 2023 LTS?

I really don't want to downgrade all the way to 2022

This doesn't wokr properly for you?

[long fern]

Idk what are you truing to achive by this, but I think you should track action, not devices itself. Since with XR you can have it on different platforms/controllers etc.

If you want to know when controller is gripping something you are interested in Select action

I recommend reading this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@3.0/manual/architecture.html

[wise warren]

no, it's not properly compatible yet with Unity 6:

Oh crap, I am building with XRI Toolkit, and using Meta SDK to setup project settings and making builds for ease of use. That's for sharing links I won't be moving to meta SDK any time soon then.

[wise warren]

yeah, I've wasted so much time before actually finding it out

Meta is so needlessly difficult to develop with

and trying to use OpenXR instead causes other problems because really, you should be using the Meta SDK for meta quests (openxr still works but it's very difficult to get stuff working)

[long fern]

I am not using any stuff from Meta that I would need their SDK for. I didn't have any problems with OpenXR so far.

[wise warren]

I'm honestly thinking sticking with OpenXR now because I already hate trying to navigate the meta SDK and get stuff working

I think my main needs from meta sdk is hand tracking, and passthrough

they seem to work better on meta sdk

[long fern]

Idk about passthrough tbh, but when last time you were trying XR Hands?

[wise warren]

not actively tried it yet but I'll need to easily switch between using controllers and hands in my project

but man even these building blocks are not helpful. the components of the camera rig are needlessly confusing

[ember trail]

I removed the vulcan from the build list & built the game again in my Quest 2 but it still shows the 3 loading dots ( I can still hear the bg music from the game)

[long fern]

I agree, when I started learning naming and architecture was quite... interesting

[buoyant jolt]

Next is checking that you have the xr plugin for android enabled in the build settings

Final is adding your own android manifest

[ember trail]

I think I have enabled the xr plugin for android
Also there are some warnings too, could these be the reason the app's not working?
And wdym by adding my own android manifest?
(Sorry I am new to Unity that's why I am asking so many questions)
