Teach me how to use unity pretty please? :c

[jovial python]

This explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqtSg6_W07Y

[manic panther]

The unity version would be almost the same look and feel, Seeing the 2019 and 2020 ones or above might look different but its really more like a texture pack more than anything so you would be able to see how you could follow the steps in the video

The video listed above tells everything, If you're asking for someone physically helping you with it then i will wish you luck

@copper granite :3

[copper granite]

thank you am just trying to understand it.

[manic panther]

no need to be afraid of different versions~ l3

[copper granite]

i'm not afraid of the program i'm more afraid to break the model xD

[jovial python]

Create backups before attempting something new, that way if you bugger up, you can always start again.

[manic panther]

do not fret! always try to have a backup first, and then work on it

it is good to note that you need to read the comments in the video too

[copper granite]

I did a copy of my model file the original is saved somewhere else

[manic panther]

Then dont worry about breaking the model! once theres eomething not working or just dont know how to fix, use and copy the backup again to start over fresh

just know where the original file is kept

whether its a pkg file or something unity uses, its always like a zip file so yee

hope that helps!

[copper granite]

Alright but small problem... in the video shade say to go into the animation folder but there is no folder named that

[manic panther]

you remind me to make my 3.0 soon lel, lemme hop on my pc to check where

[copper granite]

Well actually yhis is my 3.0 beta model

that's why am asking help to you all

[jovial python]

You can put your animation where ever you like, it does not have to be in the animation folder.

[copper granite]

so when the offical one comes out i wanna put all the things i desire and maybe even retexutre it.

[manic panther]

I was just about to say

you can make your own

[copper granite]

oh okay

I'm sorry i never used this program in my life.

[manic panther]

the animations folder is just whwre shade organized all the animations in to find them easily

You're good, everyone has to start somewhere

[thick glen]

just for a toggle, VRCFury might be the best option for such simple thing, also you are editing the quest version/scene, be sure to also make the PC version if you want both (they will need to have both the same avatar descriptor ID thing)

[copper granite]

Yeah i know that's why am asking help

if we would be in a voice chat would be far better

so you can see what am doing

[manic panther]

well here we are trying our best~ it comes down to logic. you dont need to know every square inch of the program to use it

i barely know it and just used the steps in a video

no unity 2019 expertise needed

just the right order of doing things

[copper granite]

I'm trying but am failing :c

[manic panther]

well it wont work the first try

anything like this is like coding logic

if it doesnt work on the first try theres soemthing wrong

if it seemingly works at the first time there might be something still wrong so best to check and retrace your stepts to see. retracing steps from the video and to the steps you've done can help a lot

i havent watched the video yet but in a sense it works like you put this asset on your avatar in the project, you make an animation/command that it appears connected to somewhere on your avatar like a sword in your hand when you toggle it, then it will not play the animation/ command anymore if you untoggle it

[copper granite]

okay

[manic panther]

try doing each step in the video up above to every single step being followed with precision, lots of rechecking and a couple of opens and closes of vrchat

[copper granite]

But would be still okay if while adding this object and toggle that the object itself doesn't touch the avatar? like the other object that are floating in that picutre

[manic panther]

mmhm, theres ways to do that. the objects that are connected or touching the avatar is usually connected to a component or part of the body, if its not connected to any part of the body then you good.

[copper granite]

So if am following this steps by steps even if the object is not touching the avatar can work?

[manic panther]

mmhm, just needs a lil common sense. and maybe some reading in the assets.

it just depends on what asset do you actually want

What do you wanna add

a Minecraft sword or some kind of aura thing or something around your avatar

[copper granite]

Can we just get into a voice call please?

if you want

[manic panther]

it is late, am on phone and beb

Just trying my best to explain in a text format

[copper granite]

yeah but even with text am getting very confused for all this informations

XD

[manic panther]

well it would be better to know what you need to do if you tell what asset do you really wanna add hint hint

would help a whole lot

[copper granite]

this

[manic panther]

[manic panther]

mmm

welll do you see the spray and the fish?

[copper granite]

yes

there is also the brush between it

[manic panther]

The spray and the fish and brush are all assets added that have their own animators and stuff even if they're shown floating in the scene, it only says thst they're in the project instead of actually physically being in with you. It all has the same steps of being sble to toggle it to be on your hand, so you could use them as a reference to how you could see them working

also

[manic panther]

the Video up above clearly shows how you should add one, no need to feel afraid, just test things out.

watchin a video would be a clear equivalent to someone helping you in a video call, but just without too much stalls

[copper granite]

I'm following that video but there is one little problem i create this animation controller and the vidoe tells to drag it in the fx but it only shows me this.

[manic panther]

look in your avatar's inspector

Instead of the inspector for the fx layer

[manic panther]

now look in playable layers under vrc avatar Descriptor

you can see the FX bit in there

[copper granite]

it's already busy in the go go loco setting

[manic panther]

well try putting out that FX thing thats already there, if you arent so sure, prolly follow the video instructions using that fx layer and just add in the rest of the steps

[thick glen]

you have to open (and edit) the provided fx layer, so just open the "QUEST_FX 3.0" one

double click on it should do it iirc

[manic panther]

next since i assume it already has it, you have to locate your expressions menu and parameters

[copper granite]

angel.exe stop working x-x

so many info XD

my brain is smoking XD

[manic panther]

See quest fx? edit that thing instead

[thick glen]

just for a toggle and probably default state off I would say just go with VRCFury.. it's just one component to add to the avatar and all the animation, menu and stuff are handled automatically

[manic panther]

VRCFury is a good way for people who have a hard time understanding stuff like this

[thick glen]

even if you do understand it, just for such simple thing I personally don't want to deal with all the animation stuff 🙂

[manic panther]

mhm

[copper granite]

okay one at the time you two talking is making my head spinning XD

okay i press on the thing you told me

this menu poped up under

now i am guessing i must create a new animation?

[manic panther]

dont worry, its a very linear convo, me and dashie are both on the same page so tou dont have to think both of us are telling different things

[manic panther]

in the next step on the video

open the expressions parameters, which is one of the 2 cube icons

with the orange {}

[copper granite]

the one that already in it or create a new one like the videos says?

[manic panther]

the one thats already in. the video says create one if it doesnt have one yet

[thick glen]

you only have to create two animations: on and off, everything else already exists, you will just add your new thing into them

[manic panther]

yup

[copper granite]

Hold on

hold on

[manic panther]

hm?

[copper granite]

to much info to process am trying okay?

[manic panther]

relax~ l3

One thats already in

click

[copper granite]

this are the one i created in base of the video

[manic panther]

well... you dont need them

the 3 files you made, dump em

[copper granite]

okay

i did it

wich cube i have to open?

the parameters or menu?

wait maybe i found it

is the parameters right?

yep it is

i guess i have to add a new toggle

[copper granite]

okay am in this menu i clic add right?

[manic panther]

mmhn

[thick glen]

also check saved and synced. the "default" is what you want by default, checked (enabled) or not

and note the name you use, you will need it on some other place with the same exact name

[manic panther]

Name it MinecraftPickaxe

[copper granite]

uhm i create 4 i think by mistake

[manic panther]

✨ ctrl+z ✨

or if you cant

delete them

[copper granite]

uhh i did cltr plus z but am not sure now

[manic panther]

did they go away

[copper granite]

yes

now i add a new one

[manic panther]

just add one

ye

[manic panther]

then change the type to Bool

[copper granite]

like this right?

[manic panther]

there we go

[copper granite]

it's done now?

[thick glen]

for the parameters yes

[manic panther]

like the video says, open up the Quest FX controller

[copper granite]

uhm how and where?

[copper granite]

okay

i did it

[manic panther]

literally how the video says it

add a bool parameter with the plus eith and triangle arrow pointing down

[copper granite]

i did it

[manic panther]

then rename that the same way you did with the parameter you added earlier, "Minecraftpickaxe", make sure its the same spelling

[copper granite]

ok i did it

[manic panther]

you have the pickaxe in the scene right

[copper granite]

yes in the left

[manic panther]

once you have it there, under the hierarchy, you find the place where you want it to be, click armature

[copper granite]

it's says this.

[manic panther]

look for Hand_R if you wanna put it on his right hand

[copper granite]

uhm it dosen't show up hold on

[manic panther]

spine

then neck

then shoulder R

then upper arm R

then Lower arm R

[copper granite]

uhm the piackaxe is on the left not right.

[thick glen]

same for the L then

[manic panther]

well... are you a leftie or a righty

left handed or right handed

[copper granite]

i'm right handed i write and draw with my right

[manic panther]

and you wanna hold your pickaxe at the right?

then drag your Diamond pickaxe asset under Hand R

Click on diamond pickaxe and drop it under Hand R

Just like in the video but Instead if "Prop" its "Minecraftpickaxe"

[copper granite]

left or right dosen't make any difference in all hoensty

[manic panther]

I think i need some sleepies now, just listen to the video and every single word the man says, cause im only writing it out on text. watch carefully of what he does. cause im literally just narrating it

[manic panther]

wah?

[copper granite]

where is the pickaxe

XD

alright go to sleep then

[manic panther]

its currently floating. cause you havent placed it on which hand you want it

[manic panther]

welp once you put it there, better get used to using the pickaxe with your left hand

[copper granite]

okay

[manic panther]

where do you wanna put it

[copper granite]

fluff go to sleep XD

you can text me later

[manic panther]

Heccin nopers, now im determined to make you succeed even if im game ending myself with this headache >:3

and i wil-

https://tenor.com/view/seokyungz-lois-loisgriffin-shedied-gif-24091596

[copper granite]

nope!

go to sleep!

listen this thing can wait.

[manic panther]

set the handle to the right hand of the awtter which is left on our sight, and put the asset under Hand_R

[copper granite]

sleep is more important

[manic panther]

i should tell that to myself more often lol

[copper granite]

Go to sleep right now before i bonk you

xD

[manic panther]

I just wanna see you finish it, i dunno why but my mind refuses untill i see you do it now. but if you insist, the video is a great help cause ive literally been narrating the same thing

[copper granite]

I can wait now you go to sleep

[manic panther]

so just follow the dude's every move, imagine prop = Minecraftpickaxe

oki?

now ill sleepies, ill bonk you if you havebt advanced from this point

[copper granite]

XD

Im trying okay

[manic panther]

if its too fast you can mske the video playback slower snd eatch every single move he mskes

[copper granite]

I know that

but he say to put the propt int he scene but

nothing happends

listen you sleep ill keep trying

urgh am trying but keep saying to save it in the project folder asset.

[manic panther]

because its already there

[copper granite]

i did it

[manic panther]

you put it there already

look in the hierarchy and see if there's a "Diamond Pickaxe" file

drag it under the Hand_R armature

then you should rearrange where you want the pickaxe would be

[manic panther]

if you wanna use it on the right hand, put it to the hand the arrow that goes <- R

[copper granite]

well as i press record like the video says the pickaxe moced beahind his back and i position it back in his right hand

[manic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-kitty-sleepy-head-cat-cute-gif-14555207

maybe next time, i gib

[copper granite]

go to sleep!

XD

[thick glen]

the change of the pose when recording is "normal"

just record the on, and the off

then you have to remove something, idk if the video tells you to (it should)

IIRC when you create the animation it adds a new "Controller" (under your avatar "Animator" in the inspector), just delete the Controller listed

(then the avatar should get back to normal)

[copper granite]

i missing some steps..

i did the animation thing but now is telling me to drag the propt into the layer thing to toggle on and off but it dosen't let me

I'm so dam confused

[copper granite]

Okay let's redo everything again.

[copper granite]

Maybe i'm doing something wrong with the pickaxe file? am not sure...

[jaunty pecan]

Duplicating rhe model in the hiarcy in unity and hiding the original is the way I do it

[copper granite]

I did already a copy of the original avatar and past it in my desktop

and open it with the creator copanion app

Right now am trying to realize how in hell to put a pickaxe and his toggles animation in my avatar

[jaunty pecan]

Can I ask is this for quest

[copper granite]

yes

it's both version

[jaunty pecan]

okm well whhy are u using the quest scene for the pcvr one?

[copper granite]

uhh

[jaunty pecan]

ik its not the pcvr one cus the background and the interface thingy isnt there

[copper granite]

well it was given to me like this

the file

[jaunty pecan]

?

[copper granite]

When i made this avatar i commissioned the retexture and add the go go loco and longer hair

[jaunty pecan]

Create a new one open it as PC scene transfer the Texture Png

[copper granite]

uhh

[jaunty pecan]

the longer hair is a Toggle

[copper granite]

Well let's go in a voice call if you want

if you want

because with text in all honesty is very hard to explain what am trying to do.

fluffboi and dashie where helping me but i got more lost then ever...

even following the videos

[manic panther]

an error i noticed you have done is that we're just starting the first steps last night but the pickaxe file is already in the scene as well as the model duplicated already

[copper granite]

Actually I give up on this project already

[manic panther]

aw we were so close

[copper granite]

I know am so sorry :c but I kept messing up and missing some steps that even after following the video i was failing.

But anyway Bunneh told me something concerning about my avatar. He review it and told me that this avar is poorly set up and was uploaded the quest version only

When I specifically requested both versions to be uploaded together In one but he didn't anyway

Anyway now I'll just wait the full on release of the 3.0 and make the model form the start

[jaunty pecan]

Well technically I think u can do both scenes tho I usually just make a separate quest project from the PC one

Then link the blueprints
