Hi @Inuninu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems you're encountering issues with
ModelDataReader
, ModelDataWriter
, and RealtimeModel
in NormalVR. Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have specific information about these exact classes or methods. However, I can provide some insights that might help:
1. The error suggests you might be using outdated or incorrect syntax. NormalVR's documentation doesn't mention ModelDataReader
or ModelDataWriter
.
2. For serialization in NormalVR, the correct interfaces appear to be IStreamWriter
and WriteStream
. According to the IStreamWriter documentation, the correct methods are WriteLength
and Write
.
3. RealtimeModel
is a core concept in NormalVR, but it doesn't directly implement WriteLength
. Instead, it uses the [RealtimeModel]
attribute and [RealtimeProperty]
attributes on fields.
4. If you're using an older version of NormalVR, you might need to upgrade. The Upgrading from Normcore 1 to Normcore 2 guide mentions significant changes between versions.
5. Make sure your model is defined correctly. Here's an example of how a RealtimeModel
should be structured:
6. After defining your model, you need to compile it. In Unity 2021+, this happens automatically. For older Unity versions, you need to manually compile the model in the Unity editor.
If you're still encountering issues, it might be helpful to review the RealtimeModel documentation and ensure you're following the correct steps for your Unity version.
If these suggestions don't resolve your issue, you might want to check if you have the latest version of NormalVR installed, or reach out to their support for more specific assistance.

@Normcore Assistant i am using normcore 2.12.0
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Thank you for providing that information. Since you're using Normcore 2.12.0, which is a recent version, the issues you're experiencing shouldn't be related to using an outdated version.
Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have specific information about version 2.12.0 or the exact errors you're encountering. However, I can offer some general advice based on how Normcore 2 works:
1. In Normcore 2, you shouldn't need to manually implement
ModelDataReader
, ModelDataWriter
, or WriteLength
. These might be remnants from an older version or a different system.
2. For Normcore 2, the correct way to create a model is to use the [RealtimeModel]
and [RealtimeProperty]
attributes. Here's an example of how your model should look:
3. Make sure your model is a partial
class, as shown in the example above. This is important for Normcore to generate the necessary code.
4. If you're using Unity 2021 or newer, Normcore should automatically generate the remaining code needed to use your model. You don't need to manually implement serialization methods like WriteLength
.
5. If you're still seeing references to ModelDataReader
and ModelDataWriter
in your code, you might want to remove them as they're not part of the current Normcore API.
If you're still encountering issues after checking these points, I recommend reaching out to the Normcore community on their Discord for further assistance. They might be able to provide more specific help based on your exact implementation and the full error messages you're seeing.

Thank you for sharing your code and the error messages. It appears you're encountering issues with implementing a
RealtimeModel
in Normcore 2.12.0. Let's address the problems based on the information provided in the knowledge sources:
1. The main issue is that you're trying to override methods that don't exist in the current version of Normcore. In Normcore 2, the serialization process is handled differently.
2. The RealtimeModel
class doesn't expect you to manually implement WriteLength
, Write
, or Read
methods. Instead, it uses attributes to generate the necessary serialization code.
Here's how you should structure your TreeChopperModel
class:
Key changes:
1. Add the [RealtimeModel]
attribute to the class.
2. Make the class partial
. This allows Normcore to generate additional code for your model.
3. Use the [RealtimeProperty]
attribute for the _targetID
field. The 1
is the property ID, and true
indicates it should sync reliably.
4. Remove the WriteLength
, Write
, and Read
methods. Normcore will generate these for you.
5. Remove the Dirty()
call in RequestSlice
. The setter generated by Normcore will handle this automatically.
After making these changes, you need to let Normcore generate the model code:
- If you're using Unity 2021 or newer, this should happen automatically.
- For older Unity versions, you need to manually compile the model in the Unity editor.
These changes should resolve the errors you're seeing. The RealtimeModel
base class doesn't have WriteLength
, Write
, or Read
methods for you to override in Normcore 2.
For more information on creating and using Realtime Models, you can refer to the RealtimeModel documentation.
If you're still encountering issues after making these changes, please let me know, and we can troubleshoot further.

Thank you for sharing your updated code and the new error messages. It seems you're still encountering some issues with your
TreeChopperModel
implementation in Normcore. Let's address these errors one by one:
1. The error about the partial method OnTargetIDChanged()
suggests that Normcore isn't generating the expected code for your model. This could be due to a few reasons:
- Make sure you've saved your script and allowed Unity to recompile after making changes.
- If you're using Unity 2021 or newer, Normcore should automatically generate the model code. For older Unity versions, you need to manually compile the model in the Unity editor.
2. The errors about not implementing abstract members Read()
, Write()
, and WriteLength()
indicate that your RealtimeModel
base class is not being recognized correctly. This could be because:
- The Normcore package might not be properly imported or referenced in your project.
- There might be a version mismatch or conflict in your project.
To resolve these issues, try the following steps:
1. Ensure that your Normcore package is up to date and properly imported. You can check this in the Unity Package Manager.
2. Remove the partial method OnTargetIDChanged()
for now. While Normcore does generate these methods, manually declaring them can sometimes cause issues if the code generation isn't working correctly.
3. Make sure your class definition looks exactly like this:
4. If you're using Unity 2021 or newer, try closing and reopening your project to trigger a full recompile.
5. If you're using an older version of Unity, manually compile the model by selecting the script in the Unity editor and clicking the "Compile Model" button (if available).
6. If the issues persist, try creating a new script with just this model definition and see if it compiles correctly. This can help isolate whether the problem is with this specific model or a broader issue with your Normcore setup.
If you're still encountering problems after trying these steps, it might be helpful to check your Normcore and Unity versions, and ensure they are compatible. You may also want to consider reaching out to the Normcore community on their Discord for more specific troubleshooting, as they might be aware of any recent issues or have more detailed debugging steps for your particular setup.

@Normcore Assistant i want to sync the slices of the mesh such that every one can see the same slices,how do i do that using normcode
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To synchronize mesh slices across all clients using Normcore, you'll need to create a custom RealtimeComponent that manages the state of your mesh slices. Here's a general approach to achieve this:
1. Create a RealtimeModel to store the slice data:
2. Create a RealtimeComponent to manage the synchronization:
3. Add the MeshSlicer component to your mesh object in the scene.
4. To add a new slice, call the AddSlice method:
This approach uses Normcore's RealtimeArray to synchronize an array of slice positions and rotations. When a new slice is added, it's synchronized across all clients, and each client applies the slice to their local mesh.
A few important points:
1. The actual mesh slicing logic isn't included here, as it depends on how you're implementing the slicing. You'll need to implement the ApplySlice method based on your specific slicing algorithm.
2. This example assumes that slices are only added, not removed or modified. If you need more complex operations, you might need to adjust the model and component accordingly.
3. Make sure your mesh object has a RealtimeView component in addition to the MeshSlicer component.
4. The synchronization of the actual modified mesh data isn't included here. If your slices significantly alter the mesh data, you might need to synchronize that as well, which would require a more complex approach.
For more detailed information on using RealtimeComponents and synchronizing custom data, you can refer to the Synchronizing Custom Data guide.
Remember to test thoroughly in a multiplayer setting to ensure that the slices are correctly synchronized across all clients.

Thank you for sharing your code and the error message. It seems you're encountering an issue with the
RealtimeArray<uint>
in your Normcore implementation. Let's address this based on the information from the knowledge sources:
The error suggests that uint
cannot be used directly as a type parameter for RealtimeArray
. This is because RealtimeArray
is designed to work with RealtimeModel
types, not primitive types like uint
.
To resolve this issue, you have a couple of options:
1. Use RealtimeArray<int>
instead of RealtimeArray<uint>
. Normcore supports int
as a primitive type for RealtimeArray
. Here's how you can modify your code:
2. If you absolutely need to use uint
, you can create a custom RealtimeModel
to wrap the uint
value:
Then use RealtimeArray<UIntWrapper>
instead:
The first option is simpler and likely sufficient for most use cases. The second option provides more flexibility but adds complexity.
Remember to update your model definition accordingly:
For more information on supported types and collections in Normcore, you can refer to the Supported Primitives and Collections documentation.
If you're still encountering issues after making these changes, please let me know, and we can troubleshoot further.

Thank you for sharing the error message. This issue is related to how Normcore handles certain types in
RealtimeArray
. Let's address this based on the information from the knowledge sources:
The error suggests that Vector3
cannot be used directly as a type parameter for RealtimeArray
. This is because RealtimeArray
is designed to work with RealtimeModel
types or specific supported primitives.
To resolve this issue, you have a couple of options:
1. Use a supported collection type for Vector3
. According to the Supported Primitives documentation, Vector3
is a supported Unity primitive, but it needs to be used with the correct collection type. Instead of RealtimeArray<Vector3>
, you should use RealtimeArray<Vector3Serializer>
. Here's how you can modify your model:
2. If you prefer to keep using Vector3
directly, you can create a custom RealtimeModel
to wrap the Vector3
value:
Then use RealtimeArray<Vector3Wrapper>
in your TreeChopperSyncModel
:
The first option is simpler and directly supported by Normcore. The second option provides more flexibility but adds complexity.
After making these changes, make sure to save your scripts and let Unity recompile. If you're using Unity 2021 or newer, Normcore should automatically regenerate the model code. For older Unity versions, you may need to manually compile the model in the Unity editor.
If you're still encountering issues after making these changes, please let me know, and we can troubleshoot further. Remember, when working with Normcore, it's important to use the supported types and collections as outlined in their documentation.

@NormalMark @Scott will you take a look at this one?
@Inuninu Hey, here's how your original code would look in current Normcore. Note that change events can now be automatically generated (it's now an argument inside the
RealtimeProperty
attribute).
This is for a single slice
Are you looking for a version for multiple targetIDs?yes,and thanks
