Requirements​

You can learn how to set up your project beforehand at our project setup guide.


Installation Steps​

1. Download and Import the Prefab

  1. Download the ParGUI prefab from our website.
  2. Import the prefab into your Unity project:
    • In Unity, go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package...
    • Locate and select the downloaded prefab package.
    • Click Import to add the prefab to your project.

2. Set Up the Spawn Location

  1. Open the VRCSceneDescriptor in your world.
  2. Set the spawn location to the area where you want players to spawn.

3. Reference the Camera

  1. Find the camera in your world you want players to use (usually called Main Camera).
  2. Ensure it is referenced in your VRCSceneDescriptor as the camera that your players will use:
    • Select the VRCSceneDescriptor GameObject in the Hierarchy window.
    • In the Inspector window, assign the main camera to the Reference Camera field.

4. Set Up Post Processing

  1. Add a post processing layer component to your reference camera:
    • In the Hierarchy window, select your main camera.
    • In the Inspector window, click Add Component and search for Post-process Layer.
    • Set the layer to Default or Everything.

For detailed instructions on setting up post processing, refer to the Post Processing Guide.


5. Add ParGUI Prefab to Your World

  1. Drag the ParGUI prefab into your world from the Project window.
  2. Right-click on the prefab in the Hierarchy window and select Prefab > Unpack Prefab.
  3. Set the respawn location as your spawn transform in the VRC Scene Descriptor from earlier.
  4. Set a main world light as the world's directional light. If you don't want to use a directional light, set it as a directional light that is disabled in the hierarchy (it still needs a reference of some sort to function).

6. Configure Toggles and Lights

  1. Set up colliders you want to be able to toggle with the menu in the Colliders array.
  2. Set up lights in the Lighting array that you want to be able to toggle.

7. Customize Preset Visual Buttons

  1. In the script below the prefab, you can customize the visual buttons to anything you want.


By following these steps, you can successfully install ParGUI and provide an immersive, customizable experience for your virtual world.
