Hi, can anyone help me with a CustomUnityAsset so that it collides with other objects in a scene?

If this...

...doesn't work, then the CustomUnityAsset (CUA) might not have collision build in. Here's a workaround (only works for very simple CUAs) and a more general solution for all CUAs:
  • for very simple CUAs: add some basic "Shapes" (like a cube, sphere etc.), place them inside your CUA so their surface matches the CUA's surface you want other objects to collide with, and "parent" them with your CUA so they stick in place when you move the CUA. Then enable "Collision" for that shape and make it invisible.
  • if that doesn't suffice, or if you have a more complex CUA, you have to edit the actual mesh of the object, meaning:
    • you'll need to extract the mesh from the actual *.assetbundle file (or try to find the original, already extracted mesh)
    • open the mesh in a tool like Blender to edit it, then add collision to it
    • export the mesh again into VAM
The extract-edit-and-export steps are complicated, but I'd bet there are a couple of tutorials either on the Hub or on YT which might explain at least some of the steps.

// EDIT: Only just realized, I had a wrong screenshot attached. Fixed!

First make sure all your files are correct and complete. Go to your VAM directory and run VaM_Updater.exe, and click on "Options":

Then run "Sync/Repair All":

This will check all your local files, and will download missing/damaged files in case there are any. This can take a few minutes, wait until it's complete.

When it's complete, close the VaM_Updater.exe, and run VaM (Desktop Mode).bat if you want to run VaM in Desktop mode. For VR mode you need to start SteamVR first, and then run VaM (OpenVR).bat (I'm only familiar how to do this with SteamVR and a HTC Vive or Valve Index, I don't know anything about any other VR headsets like the Oculus).

If this still doesn't work, post your computer specs (what CPU, GPU and how much memory you have).

Are you talking about the clipping with the long hair? That's something you probably can't fix, as I explained here already. It seems like the cloth you're using and the hair are just not working together.

Hey, thank you very much for helping out! Appreciate it. Yeah, unfortunately I've tried that setting and it doesn't work. "Luckily" for me I might be able to fix it with the first workaround you've shared here since the object is an earring in the shape of a cross.

Thanks again

I'm really getting frustated with vam loading speed. If I load the first scene, the game goes as expected and loads fast. But if I try to load a second one, he takes more than 5x times to load. Im literally closing the game after first scene and opening again to load another. Its more faster.

Does anyone knows a solution for this? X.x

At first I think we all thought the same (it's better to download a pack of stuff that you don't know what's inside than assets separately)
I would recommend you to have a clean install and look for free stuff in the same HUB inside the game, then go to the assets section (mostly paid) and download what you really need (mainly plugins and clothes)
assets

Kinda wish OP would bookmark this link to the 1st page .. it's not easy to find.

What do you mean with "not easy to find"?
Just click on "LATEST UPDATES" at the very top, and then change 2 settings:
  • set "Category" to "Assets"
  • set "Prefix: Assets" to "VAM"

Boom! Done!
This is the very basics on how to navigate this forum :ROFLMAO:
