An important feature that I always thought was missing from VAM was a portal/doorway functionality.


HOW IT WORKS

You can add the plugin to an Empty Atom. It has two options:

  • Destination - this is a destination atom where you'll be moved towards. That atom can be an Empty Atom too that you use just to mark a position in the scene.

  • Distance  -  this is the distance (in meters) from the atom at which the player gets teleported to the destination

When you get within the given distance, you get teleported to the destination atom. The atoms should be placed on the floor. The forward direction of the atom (blue arrow) is where you'll be facing when teleported (Y rotation). The other rotations (X and Z) are better left to 0.

This might be the best way to date to handle multiple levels/floors in VAM. Initially I was planning this as a feature of Alive Home, where the elevator would have been a portal to going down to street level. It can also be used by people that love room scale vr (no moving around with thumbstick, moving around only IRL) to build very large environments that work at room scale by aligning these portals carefully.

I do not think I would use this myself, but another good one. Not sure if possible to have a plugin that we could select 4 or 5 poses, that could be randomly changed to over a random time that we could select a range. Not sure how the transition would work, would be nice if there was a slow transition, that does not look horrible. IDK. Maybe some one has done this and I missed it. (maybe its already part of Alive and I missed it LOL) Something simple to setup and use. I think I tried someone's posing plugin a while back and I could never get it to work right. Just another one of my suggestions I know you are working on a lot of stuff. Another one is your ticklish plugin is still one of my favorites, I would love to see that incorporated into Alive, with the reactions settings for touch and the ability to select multiple sound types for responses, not just laughing, but comments, ex. That feels really nice, etc. maybe select by mood, or multiple moods, bad, happy, sad, excited, etc. Anyway just my suggestions, keep up the good work!

Actually, there is a guy that does the pose changes randomly, I think the scene is tryonmaster. He uses a lot of your plugins, It just jumps to the next pose which works, but I would love to select poses, and have transition slower and stay in place. Even if they all needed to be just standing poses, etc. I look forward to try v58, all good stuff! You and a few other creators have made VAM into what it is capable today!!!
