Sorry to be late to the party, I just saw that there were challenges today. This was actually my second time with the tutorial and it and went a little smoother this time. I haven't been able to read all of the posts but I saw that some other people had problems with the rifle aiming. It works great in VR though. Super excited for the opportunity to learn how to develop these worlds. I don't know if I was supposed to set the world to Visible to Public for you to view it @SeeingBlue but it is grayed out.

I'm sure its probably something simple I didn't set so if you need me to set that and can steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful., Look forward to talking to you in the next challenge!

You're not late, this challenge will go on indefinitely! Although I am not sure why the Visible to Public option is disabled, I was able to view your world. Nice work on completing the challenge! You might also find this post helpful, as it contains some bonus tips we learned during this challenge: https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Community-Resources/Weekly-Challenge-1-Wrap-Up-Your-First-Worl...

Regarding the aiming, I did notice that the projectiles were firing off-center. Are your weapon scripts Local?

[SeeingBlue]

@Shirkides, did you unpublish the world? I wanted to review it today, and it says This page isn't available right now. 🤔

[Dalthin001]

Awesome thank you so much!

[Dalthin001]

It is showing default, I'll dig into it a little more I probably missed something. Thank you for catching that!

Great play. Got a good laugh.

[Dalthin001]

One mystery solved (sort of). So by accident I found that toggling this from the headset enables the Visible to Public toggle:

I just republished it for you! I'm actively encouraging players to visit another world I'm a collaborator on and didn't want this to show up if they viewed my profile.
