World/Udon Bugs & Feature Requests

Having only 5 tags to a world makes it fairly hard to properly tag a world, especially if you have certain prefab systems like audiolink and such that you would like to be searchable. I dont really see the reason tags have to be limited to such a small ammount, so seeing this changed would be fantastic for world searchability

World persistency would increase usability since old in-world settings could load automatically when the user re-visits the same world later. As worlds get more and more complex, this is no longer a "nice to have" feature - it is now absolutely needed to make a more complex world playable (such as playing a long story through like "The Devouring" for people who don't stay 4+ hours in a single world in VR or in case VRChat crashes while playing it). But it is also needed for grinding mechanics and worlds where you can build something and farm resources - something we are currently working on. Tl;dr, either VRChat gives us a [StoreToDisk] string datatype (without a weird character limit) that saves to disk when it changes and loads again when the user joins the same world or we'll have to implement our own open-source solution reading debug log files and a third-party application running on people's PCs to send Ctrl+V to the window handle (as other world creators have already done it). But either way, we definitely can't go on without a solution here and the current "ask a VR user to copy+paste a string" is not a good way to do it - especially since it's not crash-safe, so users lose all progress when VRChat disconnects the user randomly. But also since we still don't have a "Copy to clipboard"/"Paste from clipboard" function next to a TextInput field for whatever reason, something that would be extremely useful for VR users in general anyway. Ideally, an instance could also specify to only load the progress from whoever created it, since it's not possible right now to know who's the instance creator in Udon, but that's only a minor follow-up issue.

Udon Input events such as InputMoveX and InputLookX are usually paused when the user is interacting with VRChat menus or features. However, when using the drone camera to fly around, the input events are still passed to Udon, and this can cause weird behaviours when the world is using these input events. Repro: Create an udon program that use InputMoveHorizontal for example. Add some logic to inform the user or log when the InputMoveHorizontal event is called. Begin using the drone camera and fly using the horizontal move input.

Currently, when a user enters the interaction range an interactive game object in a world, VRChat displays a blue halo around it. Udon can control this highlight with InputManager.EnableObjectHighlight , though it's unreliable and undocumented. It turns the highlight on and off, but the game object loses or regains its highlight if the user enters the interaction range. Worlds can work around this by calling EnableObjectHighlight every Update. Udon should be able to control an object's highlight state to a greater extent.

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.

In addition to the inventory post that already exist, I want to be able to give players items to consume/spawn only usable in my world. For example, if I make a Minecraft-esque world every player would find a starter kit in their inventory with a shovel, axe, torch and pickaxe. When leaving the world the items would disappear. Or a flare gun players can use to find each other on super large worlds. Assuming persistence exists, a tick box would exist on the imaginary item component to either make it disappear on switching world or you keep it forever (Or until consumed?)

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.

After a random period of time, some users send and receive times become exactly the same, with the total network travel time seemingly being 0. In the attached screenshot, all relevant data is on right side. Serialization Time is result.receiveTime - result.sendTime, Send Time directly reads result.sendTime, Receive Time directly reads result.receiveTime, and Time since startup reads Time.realtimeSinceStartup Here is the world where the issue was discovered: https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_7fd1ba0f-4d07-4a6f-b984-e48a6d6cc7ad When entering the world, enable debug panel and hit start, and over time keep track of other players serialization data.

Right now OnInputMethodChanged only get called if well input method changed, but I think I would make sense to have it called once to let the world figure out the user input and switch any logic without having to manually do it with GetLastUsedInputMethod()

Supporting OnRectTransformDimensionsChange will make it easier to manage changes in resizable UI layouts.
