World/Udon Bugs & Feature Requests

I tried this both with udon graph and udon sharp. Both times, when calling the Respawn function, the udon script throws an error and halts. It says that the reference is not set to an instance of an object, even though every time, I check, and there is an object with a VRCObjectSync attached to it that Respawn() is called from. And Respawn() is called from the VRCObjectSync, and not the GameObject. This is the error I get from udon graph: [UdonBehaviour] An exception occurred during Udon execution, this UdonBehaviour will be halted. VRC.Udon.VM.UdonVMException: The VM encountered an error!

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.

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.

Whenever I create an OnVariableChanged event through the Plus button in the events sidebar, it produces the error shown in the second image. This occurs regardless of the program asset I try it in, and also on SDK 3.7.1 Soon afterward, it fails to load the event node and removes it as shown in the first image. The node is never visible in the graph view.

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

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.

Maybe this has been the case since VRChat supported SteamVR Input 2.0. Regarding the OnInputMethodChanged(VRCInputMethod inputMethod) argument, on smartphones and desktop PCs, it has the expected values such as VRCInputMethod.Touch and VRCInputMethod.Keyboard. Touch and VRCInputMethod.Keyboard. On the other hand, many VR controllers seem to have unified to VRCInputMethod.SteamVR2. This means that there is no longer a way to distinguish mainstream Vive Wand/Quest/Pico/INDEX controllers, etc. from Udon. This means that automatic tuning according to the characteristics of each controller is impossible. Are there any plans to fix this?

It would be useful if we could get Terrain methods in Udon. Specifically, methods and properties in https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TerrainData.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/DetailPrototype.html .

It will be nice to be able to use embedded video clips with the new video player system for things like video textures. Currently (on the open beta build 986) we can only load videos from external servers.

If we're smart enough to write scripts for worlds, we're smart enough to drag a slider from 1 to 0.
