🔺 Requires Basis

User, Creator, Developer​

The interface has three sections: User, Creator, and Developer.

  • The User section is intended for users who will wear the avatar: They can change the menu name, icon, and default state if applicable.
  • The Creator section is intended for setting up the control: Define how this control is wired to scene objects, the type of menu, and networking options.
  • The Developer section is intended for debugging the control: It shows how the control has translated the inputs of both the User and Creator sections into internal objects.

User settings​

Creator settings​

Choice​

First, you need to choose the number of choices that this control will have.

  • Two choices: Most of the time, controls have a minimum of two choices: OFF and ON. You may then configure this control to interpolate between OFF and ON, like a slider.
  • Three or more:

Toggles​

In the Toggle section, you can choose which GameObjects or Components will be turned on and off.

Properties​

Networked​

When the Networked option is checked, the state of this object will be made visible to other users. This is the default.

Advanced Networking​

  • Automatic: This is the best setting for almost all cases. This is the default.
  • Continuous Automated Data Stream: This should only be used for anything controlled by an external program which outputs a continuous stream of data: heart rate that updates rapidly, face tracking, toe tracking, tracker position, etc.
    • This should NOT be used for anything controlled by an external program which is not continuous: Do not use this with a doorbell, light switch, shock collar, heart rate that updates slowly, etc.

Remember​

Remember controls how the state of your avatar is saved and restored when loading avatars.

  • Do Not Remember: The state of this object is not saved.
  • Remember In This Avatar: The state of this object is restored when an avatar with this same name loads.
    • Recommended to save things within a costume.
    • This is similar to how other social VR apps do it.
    • Examples: The color of your shirt, whether your sleeves are pulled back.
  • Remember In This Tag: The state of this object is restored when an avatar with the same tag and address loads. You can choose the tag.
    • Recommended to save the settings of an avatar base which may be shared across multiple costumes of the same avatar.
    • Examples: Whether your head uses a ponytail, wearing glasses, the visibility of ears.
  • Remember Across Avatars: The state of this object is restored when an avatar loads, even on completely different avatars, as long as the address remains the same. This is the default.
    • Recommended to save settings which may be shared across most of your avatars.
    • Examples: Light limit, how shiny your skin is, the emission strength.
