Common issues and settings

Check compatability

Vrchat has 3 SDKs they release: Link Make sure you update both VRC's SDK and your copy of the marker.

• SDK2
  • For 2.0 avatars.
  • Use an SDK2 release
• SDK3 - Avatars
  • For 3.0 avatars.
  • Use an SDK3 release
• SDK3 - Worlds
  • The marker is only for avatars. For worlds this is a common solution.

Fixing errors

If something goes wrong, you can clean things up.

If you did not use your own FX controller (or you clicked a "setup 3.0 defaults" button):

• You can just delete the stuff generated in /Snail/Marker3.0/Generated and try again.

If you are using your own FX controller

1. Open your FX controller and delete the layers GestureMaker and ToggleMarker
2. Delete from your params list "ToggleMarker"
3. Delete from your menu "Toggle Marker"

Upload checklist

1. Always make sure you avatar DOES NOT have a Animator Controller assigned in the default Animator component.
   • This has a random chance of breaking things
2. Always check your layers and make sure the weight is 1.0
3. On the trail renderer:
   • Make sure Emitting is off
     • People forget to turn it back off after testing
     • Your marker will start out drawing by itself if you forgot
   • Make sure the time is set to 120 by default
     • Changing this incorrectly may make the pen not work

Common configs

• If the speed for your marker is too slow

  • You can adjust this in the animation controller
  • Change the transition state exit time to something very low.

• If you want the color to match the Trail Renderer components Gradient Color

  • Set the materials shader to UI/Default

• If you want to control the marker with the opposite hand

  • When running the setup script select opposite hand

• There are other Materials available with color choices in /Assets/Snail/ExampleMaterials
