I'd assume creators would add any tag that applies to their prop. (You can have to 16!) The universally generic ones having the highest importance while the more niche ones end up for bespoke setups. I've been doing senders on my props like this for a loooong time.

A handful of the combat stuff I've seen in the wild (Weapon, Melee, Fire) but a lot of this comes from my personal avatars and ones I've done for comms. Gotta start somewhere!

What if your liquid is gasoline? Thatโ€™s flammable! But I see your point lol.

I have to figure out a defining line for niche vs universal generics. Armor would definitely be niche as heck.

Does a standardized naming convention/list for VRChat contact Collision Tags exist? Would love if creators got together and assembled one so prop interactions across different avatars were more likely.

So is this more of a manually/purposefully scheduled file history? I've been using the built in Windows one for a few years now. Has saved my butt occasionally.

The tracking offset happens with the flash ~ before the sound & vibrations arrive. It's sometimes a good few countable seconds. So it's something moving light speed.

Isopropyl alcohol?

When lightning strikes nearby (without a power outage) while Iโ€™m in VR, all of my tracking drifts for a moment in the direction AWAY from the sound that follows. (Or grey screens)

My assumption has been that the EMP from the lightning messes with infrared. Nature so cool aaaaA.

I saw a cursed avatar a bit ago that baked frames of a blender cloth sim to shapekeys just to have a realistic wacky inflatable tube man.

The stars weren't aligned correctly when you were in VR. Rookie mistake.
