World/Udon Bugs & Feature Requests

It'd be helpful for world creators to know how many people are entering their world as well as how often users are coming back.

Allow world creators the ability to moderate their OWN worlds and issue their OWN bans. I'm tired of seeing crashers and exploiters in my worlds and kicking them is nothing. I want the ability to ban certain individuals from my worlds. There is absolutely no harm in doing this. Who is it going to hurt? The exploiters and cheaters. What if world creators abuse it and ban people from THEIR OWN worlds? Well it's their fault their world fails to gather a population. What else will this do? Allow world creators to suit the needs of their wanted audience. it will also help take the stress off of the actually game moderators. Thank you, Lucifer MStar - Creator of 30+ worlds including church of marriages. P.S. Communicate more with your community on what you are doing about these crashers and exploiters and maybe the heat and stress will die down. Honestly this is the most annoying thing communication.

Issue: Currently it's not possible to react to a players voice at all. We don't know when someone is talking or how loud they are for example. This limits us from making games where someone needs to be quiet to hide from an enemy for example. For security reasons it makes sense that we can't just listen to a player voice, which is why I think only giving limited access to it would be fine. Suggestion: Add an isTalking bool to the VRC Player API which is true when voice is detected and false when not. Add a loudness float to the VRC Player API which is a value between 0 and 1 depending on how loud a player is. (Basically how the current Voice parameter works on Avatars) Add a viseme integer to the VRC Player API which would indicate what viseme is currently used. (Basically how the current Viseme parameter works on Avatars) These would allow world creators to integrate player voice into game play while also not just directly giving them access to player voices for security.

Environment: Unity version: 2022.3.22f1 VRChat SDK Worlds: 3.10.3 VRChat SDK Base: 3.10.3 UdonSharp included with SDK Project uses Prefab Mode / PrefabStage with UdonSharpBehaviour components YamaPlayer package present: net.kwxxx.yama-stream 1.5.18 Observed: When opening or editing prefabs containing UdonSharpBehaviour components in Prefab Mode, Unity logs repeated ArgumentNullException errors from OdinSerializer UnitySerializationUtility. Error: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: unityObject VRC.Udon.Serialization.OdinSerializer.UnitySerializationUtility.SerializeUnityObject(...) UdonSharp.UdonSharpBehaviour.UnityEngine.ISerializationCallbackReceiver.OnBeforeSerialize() and similarly: UnitySerializationUtility.DeserializeUnityObject(...) UdonSharp.UdonSharpBehaviour.UnityEngine.ISerializationCallbackReceiver.OnAfterDeserialize() Trigger: Open a prefab containing UdonSharpBehaviour in Prefab Mode Move a child object or let PrefabStage autosave run Errors repeat, sometimes dozens/hundreds per save Expected: PrefabStage autosave should not throw if a Unity pseudo-null UdonSharpBehaviour or serialized target is encountered. It should skip invalid objects or handle UnityEngine.Object pseudo-null safely. Additional finding: For diagnosis only, I temporarily tested a local guard around the SDK serialization path. The test indicated that the affected object was not a normal C# null reference, but behaved as null through Unity's overloaded UnityEngine.Object null comparison. With that guard in place, the exception stopped. I am not using this as a permanent workaround and do not intend to publish content with a modified SDK. This observation is included only to help identify the likely failure path. Additional observation: I have encountered this issue twice. In both cases, once the issue started occurring in the project, checking out older repository commits did not reliably make the issue disappear. This suggests that the trigger may involve Unity Library/cache/generated SDK state or some project-local serialized state, not only the currently checked out asset files.

It should be possible to set a variable on an animator controller that is assigned to a station. This way, a character could for example procedurally change the pose on a vehicle using blend trees or we could switch between different poses on demand while the player is in the station. This would also be very useful to circumvent a lot of restrictions that make the use of stations very limited right now, like rotating an avatar on a station without rotating the viewpoint to deliver a motionsickness-free experience. Those are the functions that should be available on a VRCStation: VRCStation.SetAnimatorFloat("floatVariableName",floatValue); VRCStation.SetBool("boolVariableName",boolValue); VRCStation.SetTrigger("triggerName");

When calling SetLoops on a VRCTweenHandle created from VRCTween.DelayedCall, it is expected that the tween periodically invokes its callback according to the specified duration and loop count. In actuality however the tween invokes its callback once then terminates, as if SetLoops wasn't called at all.

Get what instance type you are in. Public, Friends, Friends+, Invite+, Invite Single node can return string Multiple nodes for each type can return bool

These are needed to make use of Texture2D.Compress (which is exposed) to network-sync textures, and in general to sync textures in an efficient manner. In the case of GetRawTextureData, only the byte[]-returning variant is needed.

Checking the equality/inequality of a system-defined enum with equality/inequality operators ( == / != ) will fail. As a result, this example codes in the document don't work as expected: https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/android-best-practices/#2-detect-mobile-players-in-your-world-automatically public override void OnInputMethodChanged(VRCInputMethod inputMethod) { if (inputMethod == VRCInputMethod.Touch) { // Run code for touch input } else { // Run code for non-touch input } } (The UdonGraph version (attached image) also has an identical issue.) Workaround Cast to underlying values and compare them. if ((int)inputMethod == (int)VRCInputMethod.Touch) Analysis UdonSharp compiles the expression inputMethod == VRCInputMethod.Touch into EXTERN, "SystemObject.__Equals__SystemObject__SystemBoolean" Although Object.Equals(Object) is overridden by Enum.Equals(Object) , which the inputMethod may have, with comparing underlying value, this EXTERN seems to call the Object.Equals directly (maybe via reflection API), and it returns the unexpected result (by only comparing the referencing instances). The EXTERN, "SystemObject.__Equals__ comes from here https://github.com/vrchat-community/UdonSharp/blob/22307065bd408dfd163fe46b0b8b701a4efcbc00/Packages/com.vrchat.UdonSharp/Editor/Compiler/Binder/BoundNodes/BoundInvocationExpression.cs#L420 And replacing the System_Object of this line with System_Enum doesn't work because the Enum.Equals is not exposed. Suggestions Temporary, rewrite the example codes using cast operator Expose System.Enum.Equals And replace the EXTERN with System.Enum.Equals

Please let us access the position of the name plate, to let us add world-specific UI icons to it. Currently, we can estimate the position of the name plate from the player's position. @bobystar discovered that: > it may have something to do with the avatar's main bounding box (all bone sizes are 1m): I've attached bobystar's screenshot. So a workaround might be to access the player's avatar bounding box - if we have access to that 🤔
