I am working on a game in horizon world where players throw rocks to hit NPCs (from unity asset bundles). I am encountering an issue with collision detection where a single rock hit is triggering multiple events.Here's the setup:NPC has a trigger zone Player throw rocks at the NPC NPC should register a hit when a rock enters the trigger  and die after 2 hitsWhen NPC dies, it should trigger a single  event to move a bridge to the sceneCurrent behavior:Using CodeBlockEntityTrigger to detect rock collisionsWhen a rock hits the NPC'c trigger zone, the hit event fires multiple timesAfter 2 hits, the bridge move event gets triggered twiceWhat I've triedUsing state flags to prevent multiple hit from firingTracking hit processing state with boolean flagsUsing a set to track rocks that have already hit an NPCWould really appreciate it if you could provide suggestions on how to fix this issue. Thank you

Hello!I'm currently using the Worlds Desktop Editor to create an NPC in my world. When I click the “Edit Avatar” button, it correctly redirects me to the web page where I should be able to edit the NPC — however, instead of loading the editor, it only shows the message:“This page isn't available right now.”I've tried multiple browsers including Firefox, Chrome, and Brave, but the same issue occurs every time.Interestingly, when I share the edit link with my friend, they can open it and edit the NPC without any problem.Has anyone else experienced this issue or know what might cause it?Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!Web Console:ErrorUtils caught an error:GraphQL operation responded with error 1675030: An error occurred while querying.

I'm having issues with the Media Board Gizmo in my worlds. "It will" blue/yellow box in the worlds, but it won't appear like in older worlds. How can I resolve this issue? I'm working in Tri mesh.

I have an ambitious space-themed treasure hunt game, Galactic Treasure Hunt, that was somewhat popular in June and July (around 10 players per day). I had ideas for how to improve it but then within the space of a week in August, visitors dropped to about 2 a week in mid-August and this has not recovered since. The most probable theory I have is that some algorithm changed somewhere in Horizon Worlds and the game is no longer being promoted.As can be imagined, this was hugely discouraging for me and I abandoned my plans to further develop the world.What do people think? Is there some other explanation for the drastic decline? It is not a perfect game, of course, which is why I had plans to improve it. But I think that it should be doing better than it is. And in July it was.Link: https://horizon.meta.com/world/652276037540703 

Since the change over to the new dashboard I'm having trouble updating some of my pay out  information. Can anyone help with this.

Am I missing something? I've tried all I can think of, it just won't snow....

Hi, new developer here,I’m trying to implement a simple rock-throwing mechanic, but the collision event for when the rock hits an NPC isn’t registering.I’ve tried using trigger zones as a workaround, but that doesn’t work either, since trigger zones in Horizon Worlds cannot move with the rock when it is thrown.Can anyone offer advice or a workaround for it?

Hello everyone, I've been noticing that the hats and shoe textures are having a problem. Seems as if they are being assigned the wrong height or depth map when rendering. 

Not sure if I’m in the right place for this or not, for some reason I am unable to post on the creator forum... Anyone else from UK had issues with receiving payouts from MHCP. I’m being told that I am not the “financial account administrator” despite the fact it is my own account… Support is poor, to say the least. I have spent the last 18 hours trying to work this out and no one has given me even a glimmer of hope…

Will we get this fixed soon? If you put on newer avatar items made within the last week you remain dots/purple to fix this for now you just need to swap into some older clothing 1-2 weeks old and in most cases, it will make you visible again. Hopefully meta handles that soon. Then we also still have worlds crashing every 30 minutes or so still (been well over a month now) and everything has been extremely glitched out. With the new engine being worked on and meta pushing mobile gaming heavily right now I feel we will be suffering on the VR side for months to come until this new system is running! 

I can't seem to get my newest created avatar items to work when going to a world. I load in as a generic purple avatar. But my custom avatar items have published successfully and show up in my avatar preview when equipping with these items. Just fails when I go to a world. HELP 

Has no one yet pointed out how totally confusing it is that theres a Meta Horizon Creator Program and a Meta Horizon Creator Partners program, and they both get referred to as MHCP in different places, where one has a Discord server and one doesnt; and you apply to join one or the other seperately. I've only just begun to figure out, but a clearer distinction between the two would definitely be helpful.  The Creator Program would hugely benefit from a discord server imo

Hello!New to worlds development, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious in the docs.. We have a vision for a world that offers a main hub of activity, which has some central things to do, but then also provides pathways to a (developer time) dynamically set of sub-games / worlds that groups of players can engage in, with the goal of playing the sub game, updating some player state, then returning to the main hub after engaging in the sub-game.     This architecture is envisioned to offer flexibility and separation of concerns for creating and maintaining the sub-games.  Its also meant to allow more socialization in the main hub, but then more focused game play happening in the sub-game. The TLDR is.. how can / should we set this up? If I am understanding World Streaming correctly, this is not quite what we are looking for, as when you load in a sub-world its not player independent.  Its more akin to dynamically loading an experience for ev

AI already responds with text that gets put into the speech bubble but devs do not have a way to access this text.I would love to be able to do so.It would let me persist NPCs responses to a player or save the chat history so that it can later be added to the context when the player returns.It would also let me parse for keywords and maybe have NPCs attitudes to players change depending on what was said.I could also use the responses to start quests, unlock doors, or give rewards.I'm not sure why NPCs text response isn't given to us but please do so or let me know how because I can't figure it out.

Hey fam, I’m a monetized creator here and trying to get access to the Clothing Studio / Avatar Fashion Tools so I can start designing and selling fits in Horizon Worlds.I’m on PC and don’t see the option in my Create tab.Can someone check if my account is eligible or let me know how to request access?Appreciate y’all!

Hello, I was recently accepted as a Horizon Creator. I've since created 62 pieces of clothing to wear/sell, I discovered that I can no longer wear 14 specific items when I went to wear a particular piece of clothing. I've tried clearing App cache/uninstalling & reinstalling the App/factory resetting my headset/changing the clothing on the Meta Mobile App(none of which have fixed it). I've deleted them from my Item Inventory(to find out that I can't wear them again when remaking them, I can't manually erase them Worlds Desktop Editor either). I still see the items I've deleted in my Avatar's Closet, Is there a way to permanently erase them from my account? Or have a Meta Staff Member manually take them off my account? So I can't view/select those specific 14 items that are corrupted.

Hi, I am trying to do the sim tycoon tutorial, accompanied with the world that Meta has set up for it (Sim Tycoon Template). However, there seem to be fundamental discrepancies between the content that the tutorial wants to guide through and the actual content in the world. For example (see screenshot showing both a section from the tutorial and the actual script), the tutorial talks about changing variables in the pickaxe "entity" (likely meaning script?) such as miningPower or durability. No such variables exist in the script, the screenshot shows other ones. Similar discrepancies are with the backpack section, maybe more. Am I missing something, or perhaps the tutorial was written for a (now outdated) different template version? I'd be happy for any sanity check on whether I am missing something or the tutorial is bunk. Thank you so much!  

What a **bleep**show. I've now got a world that was working PERFECTLY but, since the latest update, lots of stuff isn't working and I've done nothing. Mostly the problems relate to triggers that move items. Now the items either don't move at all or they move in a really broken/glitchy manner. Totally sick of this ecosystem and the lack of listening from the so called "developers". Nothing changes, it just gets worse. I can't wait until the Steam Frame drops. Horizon worlds is just a broken joke at this point.  So many bugs are now completely baked into the editor/worlds and no attempt whatsoever has been made to fix them, despite umpteen people making multiple reports about them.  If you're going to push through stuff that actually BREAKS PREVIOUSLY WORKING WORLD FUNCTIONALITY then you can just forget about having an ecosystem where people spend time on their worlds to add interesting stuff. What's the point. The people behind the development of this crippled app are abs

in the clothing creation I am getting blocked from uploading my own texture file that I created, saying it goes against the rules.  It is very kid friendly and no ip or anything.  Meanwhile, the AI generator gave me something that looked like it said “bit**” on it. is there an approval process we could submit textures to bypass the system?

It seems like Noone at Meta is aware that their AI generation tool is broken since the last update. It will not create 3d models. I noticed the sample images for choosing the model is way different and doesnt look like a model image. And then when you generate, it just creates a flat mesh with the texture image placed on top.  

I'm wondering when Meta are going to really go all out to make an update that stops us from turning our headsets on AT ALL.They're spooked that they're losing so much money on Horizons, and that everyone thinks it's rubbish, YET WITH EVERY UPDATE THEY BREAK MORE STUFF.Now we have people unable to sit properly on chairs, people unable to change into recently created clothing, the MONTHS OLD VOICE BUG WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO MUTE AND UNMUTE ON ENTERING A WORLD TO BE ABLE TO BE HEARD, the "Oh, you want to join your friends in an instance where there are only 3 people? NO PROBLEM, we'll put you in a brand new, isolated instance of your own" bug, and a plethora of others. Seriously, who's doing this, retards? Is this an actual joke? Is Mark just sitting at home pissing himself laughing at what a hilarious mess he's presiding over?This is absolutely disastrous. Furthermore, as a developer myself I understand that, if an issue is spotted, ANY TEAM OR INDIVIDUAL CAN FIX IT VERY QUICKLY or at

Is this possible - would be so convenient for assignment.. 

none of my pre-existing items are appearing in the Commerce menu for any of my worlds.If I try to make a new item, I see it listed for a split second then the list is empty again. This seemed to be working fine yesterday morning.When I look up all my items for my account at https://horizon.meta.com/creator/avatars I see all my IWP items are present. But for some reason are not registering in the editor for me.Any ideas? I've done a quick search and can't find any prior reports of a similar issue.
