Options for VRC World Portals to Inherit Current Instance Type
DarkSwordsman
When making worlds that use Portal pedestals, allow an option to "Inherit Instance Type".
Personally, I don't like going through portal pedestals because they're Public. However, if I was able to go into whatever type I want, I would be much more open to doing so.
So for example: If I join an instance I created, the portals in that world would inherit that type. So if it was Invite+, the portal would be Invite+ and the instance creator would (probably?) be me.
Also, in the case of Group+ or GroupPublic, world portals could
possibly
create a group instance as well. Though, this would probably want to be configurable per-group, incase they don't want new instances to be made due to moderation.This has some benefits:
- The World creator doesn't have to arbitrarily decide what instance type the portal should be (assuming we were given the option, like this feature request).
- The user can define the portal type by whatever instance they're in, which means it's likely an instance type they are more comfortable with.
- Because of 2, worlds that may actually be a series of portals (like the PS Home reuploads) could leverage portals even more to improve performance/separation of concerns.
- This feature could also include the client option to pre-load those portal worlds when they join. This would allow experiences that cross multiple worlds to be more seamless (especially with the recent loading improvements that were done).
