Adding player and Object Physics
I wish to add Player and object physics but I don’t know we’re to start?
Does setting a fresh realtime component upon entering a room model fire a didchange event?
It seems like it should, but the behavoir i'm getting at the moment seems like it is not. There was a bug fix in normcore for a didchange vent that was failing to fire but I believe that is fixed in my version 2.7
RequestOwnership() and a ball
I am working on a simple game that involves players applying forces to a shared ball. Documentation suggests that I should use RequestOwnership() to do this, but I am having trouble getting it to function as described. What am I missing? Thank you.
Solution:
also you only need ownership of the realtime transform
Cost Estimation and Usage Metrics
I'm trying to get a sense of cost as my game scales. I'm still on the base tier (no overages) so my bill of $49 is not giving me much insight. It also seems like the developer dashboard/billing overview is not updating. I know about the pricing, but it is hard to extrapolate and I'd rather user actual usage data from my application. Are there any examples of average cost per user? Voice chat (I assume this is usually the bulk of data) plus a few dozen realtime transforms? All of this is a bit of...
What is the point of having multiple rooms?
If it's not possible to transfer data from one room to another what is the point of having multiple rooms?
Solution:
These answers are correct fwiw. Typically folks have a RealtimeAvatarManager on each Realtime instance. You can enable/disable it to spawn the avatar for the local player. Which you can use to move a player between rooms.
How to pass avatar to another room?
How can we pass an avatar created in a room to another?

Why can't I sign up a normcore account on my pc.
I was on the normcore website trying to sign up because I was trying to get a appkey for my gorilla tag fangame, and when i try to sign up, the button that says signing up... . keeps going on forever and is there any fix to this?
meta Avatar configuration
Hey all, been working on this for ages and really cant figure out what the issue is. I need you!!
Been trying to use meta avatars with Normcore and
In the following script, i am trying to stream the data of my local avatar to the remote avatar. the local avatar's movements is mimicking my camera rig.
The issue is that when i connect 2 players, the "remote avatars" flicker between two states. the first being a mimicry of the local avatar and the second being the other player's avatar movements.
i have the two avatars attached to this script, and they are both in the scene hierarchy. Been at it for days and have no idea what the issue could be, anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?...
Solution:
Meta avatars now available with normcore!

Is Normcore having latency/connection issues right now ?
Hi, we are doing our daily Playtesting of our game right now, and we are having quite serious Latency problems it seems, it feels normcore related as this worked fine earlier and yesterday, and the same build is now feeling delayed.
We use a stopwatch system based on room.time to know when the game is 'running' so that we move the player trolley based on the calculated ElapsedGameTime, sometimes though, the game still runs, but the trolley stops for a while, as if room.time had not changed multiple frames in a row. We are also noticing that when the game starts, which enables movement of the singular trolley to all players, that it takes over 1 second to propagate the start which is done by adding a Stopwatch.StartEvent to a RealtimeSet with a TimeStamp, to know the current elapsed time.
We've tried and looked to debug anything local, but nothing seems out of the ordinary, so in hope to rule out any bugs coming from our game, we wanted to know if Normcore had been having connectivity issues ?...
How to clear RealtimeArray?
I am using RealtimeArrays to store RealtimeModels for scoring like kills/deaths etc. There is a use-case where I need to reset the scores and everything. How do I clear/remove all elements of RealtimeArray to start from scratch?
Solution:
you can store the realtime array inside a realtime set in order to clear your scores and create a new array
Text Chat System
Hiya! I was just wondering if there is any documentation at all about how to make a text chat system in NormCore using custom models?
Could I make a LAN based project for VR? (Quest 3)
Title. I want to make a VR Multiplayer project with ~16 people connected simultaneously on the same net. Should I be able to do that using Normcore?
Solution:
dang it really failed that one. LAN is not supported with Normcore unfortunately. We do have LAN options on Normcore Private for enterprise customers.
Turn off avatar voice in one room
is it possible to turn off avatar voice in one room and keep it on in other rooms?
Solution:
----------------------
Yes, it is possible to control the voice chat feature in Normcore's VR environment. The
RealtimeAvatarVoice component in Normcore includes a mute property. If RealtimeAvatarVoice represents a local player, this property will stop sending audio, effectively muting this player for everyone in the room. However, if RealtimeAvatarVoice represents a remote player, it will mute their audio stream only for the local client.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/xr/voicechat):
...Multiroom voice
If my player is connect in two rooms, how to turn off voice in only one room?
Solution:
This is correct. Or modify the RealtimeAvatarVoice component to close the audio stream altogether.

How is StopWatch Recipe updating other clients?
I dont see a didchange event in this model so how is this starting the stop watch on clients other than the one who started the stopwatch model?
using Normal.Realtime;
using Normal.Realtime.Serialization;
...
Solution:
you don't need an extra int, just add the udpate event parameter to this model
Transform not being followed
When I parent a realtime transform to a non-network transform, then the realtime transform doesn't parent and goes to vector 0 on all clients. Why would this happen?
Solution:
----------------------
This issue is likely due to how Normcore handles the synchronization of
RealtimeTransform components. RealtimeTransform does not track the parent of a RealtimeTransform and cannot synchronize it at runtime. If a RealtimeTransform is reparented under another game object, and that game object is destroyed, it will take the RealtimeTransform with it, leading to inconsistent state between clients. This could be why your RealtimeTransform is not following its parent and is resetting to a position of vector 0 on all clients.
Instead of reparenting, you can create an empty game object on your player character at the pick-up point. Then use a script that synchronizes the world position of the pick-up point object and the RealtimeTransform object that you would like to pick up. This will give you the same visual result and will avoid bugs related to reparenting.
...Make usernames face camera at runtime
Hello! I have a text gameobject attached to the Player object. How do I turn the other players text objects towards my camera at runtime? (So their names are always readable).
Solution:
I have figured it out and I am honestly a tiny bit ashamed. It was simply executing the code from the wrong game object (game manager). I had the transform.LookAt code together with the code that fills in the username at runtime. The only thing I had to do is attach the transform.LookAt code to the display name object and that obviously fixed the issue.. Thanks again for the help! I will just hide under a rock for a while 😂 Have a great weekend!
