Access the Slot Menu

  1. Once connected, open the VNyanNet Panel.

  2. You’ll see a list of all connected participants and their assigned slots. Each slot corresponds to a specific world position (like stage left, center, or props near seats).

You can also manually adjust your avatar’s position or others:

  1. Open Position Settings in VNyan.

  2. Use the move/rotate gizmo to place the avatar.

  3. Select a slot number and click Save Current to store the position.

  4. Later, you can Load Position to automatically move to that saved slot.

    • Slots = World Positions: Each slot has a predefined position, so moving an avatar means reassigning slots or saving a new slot position.

    • Host Powers: Hosts can override positions and force avatars into slots.

    • Custom Positions: Use props or empty objects in the scene to define exact positions for slots.

    • Consistency: Save positions if you want avatars to return to the same spots every time.

    Troubleshooting

    • Avatar won’t move when slot is changed Check if you have host permissions or if the slot is already locked by another user.

    • Slots don’t match the scene Make sure your saved slot positions match your scene layout. Use props or guides to define positions.

    • Avatar disappears Disconnect and reconnect to VNyanNet; ensure the slot number exists in your scene.

    Conclusion

    Assigning slots and managing avatar positions in VNyanNet is essential for smooth multiplayer collaboration. By understanding how slots work, using the VNyanNet dialog to reassign positions, and saving custom locations, you can ensure that every participant appears exactly where they should in your scene!
