How To Create A Unity VR Multiplayer Game in JUST 8 Minutes!

Love to see a followup video on getting the new Meta Avatars working with locomotion and Interactions using XR Origin Rig and XR Interactions. The Unity Netcode and Fusion Meta Building blocks shown here are only for OVR Rigs and interactions. Near as I can tell, no dev have got this combo working with Meta Avatars 2.0 and many need it. I got close, but the non host could not see the host avatar yet as the LOD did not enable, yet the transforms were being received. The host can see the non host avatar moving around no problem. Maybe you can crack it?

Thanks for sharing this great video! I'm developing with Photon and Meta Avatar and ReadyPlaerMe. For the Meta developer dashboard for getting App ID, can an individual get verification? or does it have to be corporate?

[@dilmerv]

Hey thank you for your question. If you are planning to upload an app then yes that is required. You can find more info here about the verification process: developers.meta.com/horizon/resources/publish-organization-verification/

Failed to poll initial positon, no head position found UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object) Oculus.Avatar2.MecanimLegsAnimationController:PollInitialPosition () (at Assets/Samples/Meta Avatars SDK/35.0.0-pre.1/Sample Scenes/Scripts/LegsNetworkLoopback/MecanimLegsAnimationController.cs:626)

I came across this, I ended using the previous version, Meta Avatars SDK version 31.0.0

[@cfactorygames]

​@@AnthonyReyes-b1e I'm using also now! But when I use HandSkeletonVerison as OpenXR the Avatars Hand Animation tracking no working, but if I use OVRHandSkeleton instead the poke and interactions stopping to work in this case

Does the Colocation features work for PCVR builds? I read on Meta's Github that there is some level of support.

[@dilmerv]

As far as I understand, Mixed Reality & Colocation only works with Quest standalone builds. PCVR will need to run natively and I don't believe the info needed is available from the PC running the app.

Hi Dilmer, would you recommend the quest 3S for XR development. I am currently trying to decide in between Q3 and 3S and wonder if there is any disadvantage in Passthrough Quality or in the Mixed Reality depth sensors that would make the Q3 the better choice?

[@dilmerv]

I love my Quest 3 personally, Quest 3s is very good as well and the price is so great, but I feel like the image is so much better with the Quest 3 pancake lenses.

[@tobi6758]

@@dilmerv Got it ,than I probably opt for Quest 3. Thank you :)

[@jameswilliams7725]

Not sure why this doesn't work completely for me. The avatars are spawned but they do not move. They are just locked in place.

this the error message I get: [ovrAvatar2] OvrAvatarBodyTrackingMode.Standalone is deprecated, please use OvrAvatarBodyTrackingMode.None instead and set the InputTrackingProvider, InputControlProvider, and HandTrackingProvider properties of the OvrAvatarInputManagerBehavior MonoBehavior on the OvrAvatarEntity prefab/instance. UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object,UnityEngine.Object)

[@endgamedevs]

Nice tutorial! Thanks for putting this out. I had some issues with Unity 6 and meta building blocks. It kept giving some errors. But will look at it again using this video. Thanks

[@dilmerv]

Glad it helped and let me know how it goes, thank you!

Avatar rotation using ovr controller prefab gets funny , so I rotate my head ( camera rig) the local avatar goes away from the controller I tried couple of things but the minute I add ovr controller prefab and try to move using controllers the avatar goes away

[@dilmerv]

I don't believe I have tried adding the OVR Controller Prefab, just curious why you added a controller when using the Avatar if the system automatically adds the controller for you as well as avatar hands?

[@irtazaarshad3997]

@ I am trying to add movement by quest controller functionality and for that if I am not wrong we need the controller prefab so I just used the ovr controller prefab but if you could create another movement updated video with networked avatar that would be super helpful

[@irtazaarshad3997]

@ for now I have figured out how to keep the avatar in place when moving in VR with controllers

[@user-bggxdfrzaxdfsfs]

Hey, does it also supports web ?? If we export using Web build in unity??

[@dilmerv]

Hey thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! Currently, this is specific for native Meta development tools, but Netcode or Photon support other devices, so I recommend looking more into those if you like to integrate networking with a XR application.

[@sharadpoudel7116]

Hi Dilmer, Just watched your latest upload-amazing stuff as always! 🎉 Here’s the first comment from a long-time subscriber 🙌 I have a request for your next video! Lately, I've noticed that many tutorials focus on no-code solutions, especially with Meta's updated workflow and the seamless integration with building blocks, Unity Netcode,UGS, and similar tools. Here’s what I’d love to learn: Let’s say you’re setting up a competitive 1v1 minigame (like a dart game) inside the multiplayer setup as mentioned in this video. How would you handle recording player ID/ player performance and scores in the backend? In deeper level wanted to be able to distinguish between players who join the networked room in code. I’m currently using Photon for networking but suspect it could also be done with Unity Networking Package. Could you dive into how to set up such a system? I strongly believe this would allow your viewers to build more than just quick interactions in multiplayer setup. Looking forward to hearing your insights! 🚀

[@dilmerv]

Thanks a lot for your feedback and you're correct! I've been changing the content a bit and focusing more on non-coding solution, but that will change very soon. I think going forward I'll go back into coding, however this video was one of the last ones I needed to make to cover most building blocks available. Also, I like your question very much and handling of backend data vs networking data is a great topic. I'd say try to keep those two separate, try to think on how you can leverage web services for your player information rather than having to rely on your internal network stack to do so. I'll put something together to help the community, again thanks a lot for your feedback.

i see the tittle on homepage in my language (PT-BR) and i come in to check how is and is surprasingly good., a little robotic yet, but now have a little more expressions... maybe i will continue to watch on english to learn more the language and pronunciation, but it´s helpful for underrestand everithing easily

[@dilmerv]

I am glad you were able to listen to the video in your native language 😉! Hopefully it gets better and better with time. Thanks for your comment!

[@jakoblacour]

Love this but lost it at 4:37

[@dilmerv]

Hey thanks for your feedback. That part is mainly using “Test Users” which you can create by going to the Horizon Portal. Then to set each instance in Unity to login with your test users set the Oculus platform login to use your test user info.

[@dilmerv]

The file is under Assets > Resources > OculusPlatformSettings

We want to see what's on tap for using an AI interface to put it all together. I know these building blocks make it lightning simple, but, would be really nice just to talk to an AI interface...

[@dilmerv]

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I will look into doing videos about AI as well since I had such a great time doing so before.
