Can’t believe it’s been a week since I started messing with this. Today was a
bit.. interesting (and one time it got a bit scary), and then we had a bit of a “this is
why 3.0 is so much better than 2.0. Benie you don’t know what you’re talking about”. But I am SO CLOSE to getting this project done!! I can taste the completion.
This day, I went back asking why (and how) the Parent Constraint OFF animation isn’t actually.. well, doing its fucking JOB. I also installed this thing that I once heard about literally in this chat, that you can use to solve most “works fine in Unity but not
in VRChat” issues. In my case, this issue was happening both in Unity and in VRChat.
It’s a tad bit clunky (especially when I had to self-learn certain things), but it does its job. I can’t exactly say “I want to see if (Gesture Here) is working” (don’t really see how to go about doing that). The closest thing I can use to test, is this;
This showed me ‘Parent Constraint OFF’ is trying to fire, but it’s not actually disabling the constraint. Like.. what?!
And when I went to ask why and also said “Av3 Emulator showed me this was going
on”, the person’s like “wait, you use that? I heard it messes up your toggles. I stopped using it. …I hope you made a backup.” Feeling a bit fearful I may had just fucked up a week’s worth of work, I tried uninstalling the program hoping by getting rid of it, it would get rid of any fuckups. The person said “no, they’ll still happen even without. You’re screwed now.”
…I didn’t want to believe it. Then the realization of “no, YOU hold up there! This issue was happening even before I installed this! There’s NO WAY this program would had caused the problem” came over me. The person stopped talking after that.
I continued to wait for help, occasionally having the fear if I did actually fuck up this thing as I made changes using it. I kept trying to suppress it, but everytime I asked I kept feeling it.

Around midnight (during a total lunar eclipse), the person who helped me before showed up. I decided to DM them, hoping they’ll be able to help me. Thankfully they did, and now I will reveal the ‘hilarious’ point of the title.
“Err. That layer doesn’t have its weight set” they said. I looked and… oh. my. god. Are
you SERIOUS?! I set the Weight to 1, did some testing.. and it works. After all of that, I forgot to set the damn weight to 1 in that Layer. Also they said Av3 Emulator isn’t dangerous to use, and the one that told me this “doesn’t know how software works”.
Now I have 100% proof that program didn’t do anything to the toggles.

…So, there is one last thing I want, that will tie this project with a neat little bow.
I want to have a toggle (a Bool) that I can turn off this thing, where I won’t accidentally grab the object. After I bit I got.. well, half-ass (probably tired) help.
I was told to try something like this (that I don’t know if I did it right)..
But how to link it is where the half-ass comes in. The person said to “link Disable to ‘Grab enable’ and ‘Grabbed'”.. WHAT?! There is no ‘Grab Disable’ or ‘Grabbed’ state listed anywhere! And when I asked him “so like this?”, no response. No help afterward. All of the helpers are asleep or doing whatever.
This sucks.
It was getting close to bedtime when a helper finally showed up. And holy fuck did they get swarmed by askers (like me). They tried their best to help me, suggesting I try this instead.
What’s better than one Object Grab Disable? Two Object Grab Disables! ..Even though I wasn’t really getting the point of this. Infact I felt this ‘help’ was giving me a splitting headache.. not something I need when it’s bedtime.
It became 5:30am. I could feel my body and head feeling..
Ugh.. fuck this. I’ve waited all day. It isn’t worth losing sleep. Told him I appreciate them trying to help me but I really need to get to bed, and that’s the only thing I said. My body was about to collapse.
I’ll deal with this mess tomorrow… right now, must sleep.
