Is there any way to add hats

Canyons · 2024-06-24T15:40:41.491Z

I'm making a fan game of a VR game called Gorilla Tag and if you played it or not, you might know it has hats, glasses, badges and holdable accessories! Is there any way to add them to my game? They need an enable and disable button, and they must sync between clients, i know how to make them synced (just add a RealtimeView and RealtimeTransform) but i need some help implementing them.

Yes, you can add hats, glasses, badges, and holdable accessories to your game using NormalVR's RealtimeComponents. Here's a general approach based on the information provided in the knowledge sources:

Create Prefabs: Create prefabs for each of your accessories (hats, glasses, badges, etc.). Each prefab should have a
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
and
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component attached to it. The
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
is used to identify a game object and its
```
RealtimeComponents
```
RealtimeComponents
```
RealtimeComponents
```
RealtimeComponents
across multiple clients. When a prefab is instantiated,
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
creates a model for each
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
on the prefab and puts it into the datastore. Then, when the prefab is instantiated on other clients,
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
will connect the model in the datastore with its respective
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
on the prefab (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/realtimeview)).
Sync Position, Rotation, and Scale: The
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component can be used to synchronize the transform or rigidbody of a GameObject. You can determine whether
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
should synchronize the position, rotation, and scale of the game object (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/realtimetransform)).
Ownership: To move an object with a
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component, your client needs to be the owner of the
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component. You can request ownership of a
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component by calling
```
RequestOwnership()
```
RequestOwnership()
```
RequestOwnership()
```
RequestOwnership()
or by using the Request Ownership button in the editor inspector (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/realtimetransform#how-it-works)).

Enable/Disable Accessories: You cannot disable
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
directly. Instead, you can use a custom
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
```
RealtimeComponent
to enable/disable child game objects, scripts, or renderers directly (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#can-i-disable-realtimeview)).

Remember, you cannot add

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents at runtime as Normcore uses metadata on the prefab to connect

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents

RealtimeComponents on all clients (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#can-i-add-realtimecomponents-at-runtime)).

Please note that this is a general approach and you might need to adjust it according to your specific game requirements.

----------------------
Yes, you can add the accessories directly to the player's rig and check if the rig is owned by the local client. If the rig is owned by the local client and the cosmetic is enabled, it should appear on your rig.

However, you need to ensure that the

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView and

RealtimeTransform

RealtimeTransform

RealtimeTransform

RealtimeTransform components are attached to each accessory for them to be synchronized across all clients.

Here's a general approach:

Attach the
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
```
RealtimeView
and
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
components to each accessory prefab.
Add the accessory as a child to the player's rig in the Unity editor.
In your script, check if the rig is owned by the local client. If it is, enable the accessory.

Remember, the ownership settings of a parent are enforced on all children. If a model is owned by one client, all other clients are blocked from making changes to the model or any of its child models (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/room/ownership-and-lifetime-flags#how-ownership-is-enforced)).

Also, keep in mind that you cannot disable

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView directly. Instead, you can use a custom

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent to enable/disable child game objects, scripts, or renderers directly (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#can-i-disable-realtimeview)).

Please note that this is a general approach and you might need to adjust it according to your specific game requirements.

Sure, here's a simple example of how you might create a script to enable and disable a game object in Unity. This script assumes that you have a

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView component attached to the game object you want to enable or disable.

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessory; // Assign your accessory in the inspector
    private RealtimeView _realtimeView;

    private void Awake()
    {
        _realtimeView = GetComponent<RealtimeView>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (_realtimeView.isOwnedLocallyInHierarchy)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) // Replace with your condition to enable the accessory
            {
                EnableAccessory();
            }

            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) // Replace with your condition to disable the accessory
            {
                DisableAccessory();
            }
        }
    }

    private void EnableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(true);
    }

    private void DisableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(false);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessory; // Assign your accessory in the inspector

            {
                EnableAccessory();
            }

            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) // Replace with your condition to disable the accessory
            {
                DisableAccessory();
            }
        }
    }

    private void EnableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(true);
    }

    private void DisableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(false);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessory; // Assign your accessory in the inspector
    private RealtimeView _realtimeView;

    private void Awake()
    {
        _realtimeView = GetComponent<RealtimeView>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (_realtimeView.isOwnedLocallyInHierarchy)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) // Replace with your condition to enable the accessory
            {
                EnableAccessory();
            }

            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) // Replace with your condition to disable the accessory
            {
                DisableAccessory();
            }
        }
    }

    private void EnableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(true);
    }

    private void DisableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(false);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessory; // Assign your accessory in the inspector
    private RealtimeView _realtimeView;

    private void Awake()
    {
        _realtimeView = GetComponent<RealtimeView>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (_realtimeView.isOwnedLocallyInHierarchy)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) // Replace with your condition to enable the accessory
            {
                EnableAccessory();
            }

            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) // Replace with your condition to disable the accessory
            {
                DisableAccessory();
            }
        }
    }

    private void EnableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(true);
    }

    private void DisableAccessory()
    {
        accessory.SetActive(false);
    }
}

In this script, we first get a reference to the

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView component in the

Awake

Awake

Awake

Awake method. Then, in the

Update

Update

Update

Update method, we check if the

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView is owned locally. If it is, we listen for the E and D keys to enable and disable the accessory, respectively. You should replace these conditions with your own logic to enable and disable the accessory.

Attach this script to the player's rig and assign the accessory game object in the inspector.

kapa.ai•6/24/24, 8:51 PM

Please note that this is a simple example and you might need to adjust it according to your specific game requirements. For example, you might want to synchronize the state of the accessory across all clients, in which case you would need to use a

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent

RealtimeComponent to sync the enabled/disabled state (source (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#can-i-disable-realtimeview)).

In Unity, you can search for a child object within your rig (or any GameObject) using the

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find method. This method searches for a child GameObject by name and returns it.

Here's an example:

using UnityEngine;

public class SearchExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        // Search for a child GameObject called "Hat" within the rig
        Transform hat = transform.Find("Hat");

        if (hat != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat found!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat not found.");
        }
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class SearchExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        // Search for a child GameObject called "Hat" within the rig
        Transform hat = transform.Find("Hat");

        if (hat != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat found!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat not found.");
        }
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class SearchExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        // Search for a child GameObject called "Hat" within the rig
        Transform hat = transform.Find("Hat");

        if (hat != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat found!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat not found.");
        }
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class SearchExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        // Search for a child GameObject called "Hat" within the rig
        Transform hat = transform.Find("Hat");

        if (hat != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat found!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Hat not found.");
        }
    }
}

In this script,

transform.Find("Hat")

transform.Find("Hat")

transform.Find("Hat")

transform.Find("Hat") searches for a child GameObject called "Hat" within the GameObject that this script is attached to. If it finds the "Hat", it logs "Hat found!" to the console. If it doesn't find the "Hat", it logs "Hat not found." to the console.

Attach this script to your rig and replace "Hat" with the name of the GameObject you're searching for.

Please note that

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find only searches for direct children of the GameObject. If the GameObject you're searching for is nested deeper in the hierarchy, you'll need to provide the full path to it. For example, if you have a GameObject called "Glasses" that is a child of "Hat", you would search for it using

transform.Find("Hat/Glasses")

transform.Find("Hat/Glasses")

transform.Find("Hat/Glasses")

transform.Find("Hat/Glasses").

Also, keep in mind that

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find

Transform.Find is case-sensitive and must match the name of the GameObject exactly.

To get a reference to your player prefab in Unity, you can use the

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find or

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag methods. However, these methods should generally be used sparingly as they can be slow if used frequently.

Here's an example of how you might get a reference to your player prefab:

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerReference : MonoBehaviour
{
    private GameObject player;

    private void Start()
    {
        // Find the player GameObject by name
        player = GameObject.Find("Player");

        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Player not found.");
        }
    }
}

In this script,

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player") searches for a GameObject called "Player" in the scene. If it finds the player, it logs "Player found!" to the console. If it doesn't find the player, it logs "Player not found." to the console.

Attach this script to any GameObject in your scene and replace "Player" with the name of your player prefab.

Please note that

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find only finds active GameObjects. If your player prefab is not active,

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find will not be able to find it.

If your player prefab has a unique tag, you can use

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag to find it. This method is generally more efficient than

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find if you're searching for a GameObject with a specific tag.

In this script,

GameObject.FindWithTag("Player")

GameObject.FindWithTag("Player")

GameObject.FindWithTag("Player")

GameObject.FindWithTag("Player") searches for a GameObject with the tag "Player" in the scene. If it finds the player, it logs "Player found!" to the console. If it doesn't find the player, it logs "Player not found." to the console.

Attach this script to any GameObject in your scene and replace "Player" with the tag of your player prefab.

Please note that

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag only finds active GameObjects. If your player prefab is not active,

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag will not be able to find it.

If you want to get a reference to the player's prefab, you can use the

Realtime.Instantiate()

Realtime.Instantiate()

Realtime.Instantiate()

Realtime.Instantiate() method provided by Normcore. This method is used to instantiate a prefab and synchronize it across all clients.

Here's an example of how you might instantiate a player prefab and get a reference to it:

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;

public class PlayerManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Realtime _realtime;

    private void Awake()
    {
        // Get the Realtime component on this game object
        _realtime = GetComponent<Realtime>();

        // Notify us when Realtime successfully connects to the room
        _realtime.didConnectToRoom += DidConnectToRoom;
    }

    private void DidConnectToRoom(Realtime realtime)
    {

If the player prefab is already spawned and you want to get a reference to it, you can use the

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find or

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag

GameObject.FindWithTag methods as mentioned earlier. However, these methods should be used sparingly as they can be slow if used frequently.

If you want to find a specific player prefab that is owned by the local client, you can use the

RealtimeView.isOwnedLocally

RealtimeView.isOwnedLocally

RealtimeView.isOwnedLocally

RealtimeView.isOwnedLocally property. This property returns

true

true

if the

In this script,

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player")

GameObject.Find("Player") searches for a GameObject called "Player" in the scene. If it finds the player, it gets the

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

RealtimeView component on the player GameObject and checks if it is owned by the local client. If it is, it sets

playerPrefab

playerPrefab

playerPrefab

playerPrefab to the player GameObject and logs "Player prefab found!" to the console. If it isn't, it logs "Player prefab not found." to the console. If it doesn't find the player, it logs "Player not found." to the console.

Attach this script to any GameObject in your scene and replace "Player" with the name of your player prefab.

Please note that

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find

GameObject.Find only finds active GameObjects. If your player prefab is not active,

@kapa.ai How do i make an accessory that was instantiated on the Avatar not jitter when the player moves, such as a 'Hat'

K

kapa.ai•8/25/24, 5:08 AM

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment!

K

kapa.ai•8/25/24, 5:08 AM

----------------------
To prevent an accessory like a 'Hat' from jittering when the player moves, you need to ensure that the accessory is properly parented to the player's avatar and that its position and rotation are correctly set relative to the parent.

Here's a general approach:

Parent the Accessory: Make the accessory a child of the avatar's head (or whichever part of the avatar it should be attached to). You can do this in the Unity editor by dragging the accessory onto the avatar's head in the hierarchy. This will make the accessory's position and rotation relative to the parent.
Set the Position and Rotation: In the Unity editor, adjust the accessory's position and rotation so that it appears correctly on the avatar's head. You can do this using the inspector or the transform tools in the scene view.
Synchronize the Accessory: Attach a
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component to the accessory to synchronize its position and rotation across all clients. Make sure the
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
is set to synchronize both position and rotation.

Here's an example of how you might set up the accessory in code:

using UnityEngine;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessoryPrefab; // Assign your accessory prefab in the inspector

    private void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate the accessory
        GameObject accessory = Instantiate(accessoryPrefab);

        // Parent the accessory to the avatar's head
        accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false);

        // Set the accessory's local position and rotation
        accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessoryPrefab; // Assign your accessory prefab in the inspector

    private void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate the accessory
        GameObject accessory = Instantiate(accessoryPrefab);

        // Parent the accessory to the avatar's head
        accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false);

        // Set the accessory's local position and rotation
        accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessoryPrefab; // Assign your accessory prefab in the inspector

    private void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate the accessory
        GameObject accessory = Instantiate(accessoryPrefab);

        // Parent the accessory to the avatar's head
        accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false);

        // Set the accessory's local position and rotation
        accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
    }
}

using UnityEngine;

public class AccessoryManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject accessoryPrefab; // Assign your accessory prefab in the inspector

    private void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate the accessory
        GameObject accessory = Instantiate(accessoryPrefab);

        // Parent the accessory to the avatar's head
        accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false);

        // Set the accessory's local position and rotation
        accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
    }
}

K

kapa.ai•8/25/24, 5:08 AM

In this script,

Instantiate(accessoryPrefab)

Instantiate(accessoryPrefab)

Instantiate(accessoryPrefab)

Instantiate(accessoryPrefab) creates an instance of the accessory.

accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false)

accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false)

accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false)

accessory.transform.SetParent(transform, false) parents the accessory to the avatar's head.

accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero

accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero

accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero

accessory.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero and

accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity

accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity

accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity

accessory.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity set the accessory's position and rotation relative to the parent.

Attach this script to the avatar's head and assign the accessory prefab in the inspector.

Please note that this is a general approach and you might need to adjust it according to your specific game requirements. For example, you might need to adjust the accessory's local position and rotation to make it appear correctly on the avatar's head.

I'm sorry, but I can't provide the help you're looking for because you didn't provide the script you're working on. If you provide the script, I'd be glad to help you troubleshoot the issue.

However, based on your description, it sounds like the issue might be related to the synchronization of the accessories. If the accessories are jittering and moving all over the place, it could be because their position and rotation are not being correctly synchronized across all clients.

Here are a few things you could check:

RealtimeTransform: Make sure each accessory has a
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
```
RealtimeTransform
component attached to it. This component is used to synchronize the position and rotation of a GameObject across all clients.
Parenting: Ensure that each accessory is correctly parented to the avatar. The accessory's position and rotation should be relative to the parent. If the accessory is not correctly parented, its position and rotation might not be correctly updated when the avatar moves.
Local Position and Rotation: Check the local position and rotation of each accessory. If the local position and rotation are not correctly set, the accessory might not appear in the correct location on the avatar.

If you're still having trouble, please provide the script you're working on and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Your script seems to be correctly instantiating the wearable items and setting their parent to the target transform. However, the jittering issue might be due to the way the position and rotation of the wearable items are being updated.

When you instantiate the wearable item, you're setting its position and rotation to the target transform's position and rotation. However, since you're then parenting the wearable item to the target transform, its position and rotation become relative to the parent. This means that if the target transform's position or rotation changes, the wearable item's position and rotation will also change, which could cause the jittering effect.

To fix this issue, you could try setting the wearable item's local position and rotation to zero after parenting it to the target transform. This will position the wearable item at the same location as the target transform and align it with the target transform's orientation.

Here's how you could modify your script:

```csharp
private void EquipWearable(AvatarWearableItem wearable)
{
if (wearable == null transformHandler == null) return;

Transform targetTransform = GetTargetTransform(wearable.slot);
if (targetTransform != null)
{
// Use Normcore's Realtime.Instantiate to ensure proper ownership and networked instantiation
instantiatedWearable = Realtime.Instantiate(
wearable.prefab.name,
targetTransform.position,
targetTransform.rotation,
new Realtime.InstantiateOptions
{
ownedByClient = true, // Ensure the item is owned by the client who instantiated it
preventOwnershipTakeover = true, // Allow other clients to take ownership if needed
useInstance = realtime // Use the assigned Realtime instance
});
