I was working on a design for a pair of avatar shorts.  In the recent update to the avatar Bottoms templates, the template I was using is no longer listed as a bottom.  Can you add it back, please? The template is of some athletic shorts. Please see the attached images and files. Video of missing shorts 

the horizon/npc script API doesnt work in Australia due to legal restrictions. This isnt just limited to AI voices, but all of NPC functionality. Will NPCs ever be available in Australia? Its a very big hindrance to anyone making worlds outside US to go without it. Is there a list somewhere of countries where NPC api will and will not be available or any docs about it? 

Hi everyone. When i try to get Avatar Clothing page, it bring me in a not available page. I'm from Italy. By any chance it isn't available for Italy?

I would love Meta to offer an option and incentive to take monetization income as a credit towards advertising rather than as a payout. I see no reason to accept taxable income to send it straight back to the same account to boost content and place ads.

HiI lost access to bonus tab, but I still can access reward tab as usual, is this a bug?

Hi, I used the app studio tool to create a short instruction board.  I deleted it, re-downloaded the tool and the text showed up but it's not lined up like it looked in the app studio tool.Also what is that brown background behind my image? that background was not there initially.this is a snipit of how it looks in the studio tool and the following show how it looks inside the world editor.when I made this bigger the text did show but it's not in the right place.  Also I increased this to 2048 x 2048 and the documentation does not recommend making it that big.  And like I was saying I'm not sure where that brown background is coming from.Thank you

Hi! I’ve run into an issue with passing an image to Noesis UI — I can’t figure out what format it expects. I tried ImageSource.fromTextureAsset(new Asset(item.iconAssetId)), but it still can’t display the image. Has anyone managed to load images from Horizon into Noesis UI?

I'm using Meta horizon worlds desktop editor for my VR Game World:My main goal: A platform that moves up and down based on the player’s voice loudness. Louder voice = higher platform. Silence = platform stays low. And my other goal: when user uses microphone and sings/talks, the game detects that and it triggers something like e.g platform stops moving. How would I do this with Meta horizon worlds desktop editor right now? Does a Voice input API exist or could I use Custom input APIs? Could I use a NPC as a middleman to detect the user talking and use that to trigger something? THANK YOU! 

I have reach out to support and keep getting the same repeated messages from different people saying sorry for any inconvenience we are still working on the problem. My account has been like this since May 23 and it's very hard and is taking away the experience to want to continue to be on this headset. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS TODAY!!!

I'm having an issue where my world player list and my welcome to world pop-up message does not work unless I reset my world multiple times. I did receive the sync error on desktop editor so I'm unsure if this is the issue or if it's something else. Has anyone else had this issue? 

What is going on with Horizon Worlds right now? Build Mode keeps kicking me out of my world after just a few object movements. Even selecting or touching an item can cause an instant crash, and it’s been happening constantly on my Meta Quest 3. This doesn’t happen on PC with the bot or in the desktop editor — it’s only the headset version. Issue Summary:Horizon Worlds keeps kicking me out of Build Mode on my Meta Quest 3 any time I try to interact with anything — selecting items, moving objects, or opening scripts. What’s Happening: Selecting any item (wall, object, asset, etc.)Moving an object even slightlyOpening or editing any script→ Causes Horizon to freeze and immediately kick me back to the Horizon menu, with no warning or error message.  Repro Steps: Enter my world on a Meta Quest 3Go into Build ModeSelect any object, open any script, or try to move anythingHorizon crashes and exits Build Mode instantly  Frequency: Happens every sing

Hi everyone. Someone can help me to solve the issue of pre-release features that denied me to update my world? Some Creator friend of mine told me that is a question of mixed type of models created with both headset editor and desktop editor. And in fact is like that. Told me that i must check the extension file models. But i don't know how to check it because Gen AI say me that is not possible to have an info of file extensions. In final i'm do not able to find the models that cause the issue. 

Hello! Quick question: if our world ports to another world (e.g, "level 2"), will that still count as one submission per the rules of the Mobile Innovation Competition?

Any prompt results in the response, "It seems like I can't do generations right now, please try again later." I have probably asked about 20 requests, however documentation says 1000 requests a day. It has been over 24 hours and but still will not generate anything. Thank you.

Anyone else having an issue with the full body suit making the the uploaded texture darker ? Just as an example the photo below. It looks like a shadow is being cast which makes the texture dull and not what is being uploaded. Any fix for this? 

Hi,I’m building a world with a side-scrolling camera perspective, but I’m running into an issue with player input reorienting the camera. When testing on desktop, any mouse movement or drag rotates the camera away from the fixed side view. On mobile, dragging a finger across the screen similarly changes the camera’s yaw/orientation, instead of maintaining the intended locked profile. I’ve already tried: Using a Local camera attach script (setCameraModeAttach with a lateral offset and fixed rotation) Reapplying the attach on an interval to fight drift Adjusting input settings like Pan, Follow, and Third Person, but the camera still responds to user input  What’s the best way to disable or remap mouse/touch rotation so the player’s perspective remains strictly locked in side view?Would this require modifying PlayerControls input mapping, or is there a supported method for locking orientation or redirecting input (e.g. binding mouse drag to jump) within

Hello all, Is there anyone from meta in here where I can report a delicate matter that needs investigating and action taking? I don't want to provide names publicly and need the relevant authority to investigate. Thank you. 

Is there a reason bouns hours are not updating at ?and have been stuck at the same thing for days.

(Also posted on Noesis forum)Meta's documentation for using a Noesis Gizmo and driving UI changes via typescript are pretty sparse. I managed to get the basics set up, and I can make and see the UI in the World, but that's about it, no interaction. I got to that point by following this video: https://youtu.be/cu-u8cTYomg?si=Zr-JKNH5hJAt3WD5Meta's documentation only has snippets of code here and there and I'm not able to follow it. I have got my player interacting with the Gizmo, which brings up the focused interaction mode and I can click buttons on the Noesis UI panel, but I'm stuck where I don't know how to drive UI data from the typescript nor respond in the typescript from UI events. I'm trying to get tab navigation going and buttons that affect game state/various meters, and I want buttons that need to be held down for a specified duration before their command is executed, so I'll need to intercept button click/down/up events.I learn better from videos but this documentation here

I started looking into the Noesis UI Tutorial World, and noticed off the back the project files is missing. When I go to download the Tutorial Project File, it only downloads the .fbx file. 

Hello everyone, I have a question about the last competition that Horizon Worlds held,  Meta Horizon “Creator Competition: Mobile Genre Showdown - Reloaded.”I’ve been looking through people’s projects to decide which one to vote for, and I noticed that some of them were created before the competition even started.I’ve even seen some partners who have submitted games that they had already made or started beforehand, which I don’t quite understand,  especially considering they’re partners.I’d like to know if it was allowed to submit games that we had already started before the competition was launched? I assume that shouldn’t be allowed, but since I’ve seen Partners and Members submit games that were created months earlier, I need to know if those games are still eligible to win prizes.If not, I hope the Meta team takes a look into it. 

Hello, since switching to the new dashboard, I can no longer see my assets or create new ones.What do I need to do to fix this?

Hidear developers, I have a question on how I can make my NPC have conversation with players, I mean listen and answer questions. If you can help me with scripting, I'd be pleased. Best regards, thanks for your kind supports. 

Hey Guys,Seasoned TS engineer here, but a n00b when it comes to game development,Well with models and animations in particular,Right now, we have some UABs in the public assets which are NPCs that come with baked in animations, am i right to assume.Meta does not support allowing users to import custom models with their own animations, and if I wanted to do this,I would need to import different meshes and then script them together.If I am incorrect, please point me in the right direction,Or if the above assumption is correct - does anyone know any streamlined workflows for a solo dev? I don't want to make crazy custom animated characters, just to have some unique models, so i am not stock with stock assets.Thanks

Hey everyone,
I have a question regarding the payout in the Creator / Developer Program.Since September, my payout status has been showing “Not Set,” even though it was mentioned that payments would go out by the end of October.
Every time I try to update or verify my payment or tax information, I only get the message “Please try again later.”I’ve read in the forum that we’re supposed to update our details every month, but right now it’s not even possible for me to do so. Also the Tax Document?Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or knows how to fix this, so the payout can finally go through?Thanks so much for any help! Vanessa
