Lights are lights, they will light whatever is in range. Maybe there's a plugin that can override this, but natively you cannot.
Please write a better title next time that is more descriptive to what you're asking, this one is so broad it becomes meaningless.
So, if the thrust movement comes from a plugin you have to see what kind of triggers the plugin provides. Hopefully the trigger list is easy to understand and...
Are you sure you want a "come here" command? This would make the atom change location, which in case of light atoms is often NOT what you want. Check the plugins list for something that would do that.
If you do want to change the location of an atom to a new place without finding its location...
Did you test this in VR?
I tried it yesterday in VR and the images went crazy, as in seing copies of the screen. Removing the plugin made it go back to normal.
I can try later to test the plugin in VR and provide a screenshot if that's helpful.
I just realized that when playing an mp4 video in VAM, the imagepanel atom only shows colored bands like this:
Has anyone tried playing a video inside VAM? (in linux of course)
Test results
UMU-proton: color bands
ProtonCachyOS: works
GE-Proton: works
Proton-EM: works
Update:
Turns out...
Your options are:
the plugin linked that is probably quite easy to get it working
the old way of making morphs which involves Blender, Daz and following multiple guides
waiting for someone to do what you want
If you say you have issues outside of VAM it's best to fix that first or else it's just going to compound with VAM.
I'm on KDE with Wayland using the proprietary nvidia-open driver. I'm not using CachyOS, but that's Arch-based and I'm on Arch, so I think things will be very similar between...
When you want to add an atom there's 2 checkboxes you can tick: select atom and focus on atom. If that's not enough, they tend to spawn close to the origin (0,0,0).
Yes! Not having to use Windows with all the bloat and spyware 😄
Thanks, but I think that there's no need for a native linux package as it runs great with proton. Running VAM on linux needs some option of Proton anyway, so those few doing that already have it.
I've been using linux to run VAM on...
For the few playing VAM or making stuff for VAM on linux, this application does work with Proton launchers.
On my test, I have some issues when using a CachyOS or GE launcher, but with UMU it works perfectly. It's the same when running VAM, but on your end it may be different.
Excellent work...
Probably there are not so many in people's hands and VAM users would be a minority in that group.
From the specs, 16 GB of RAM is subpar for VAM, let alone VAM with VR. This is a "console" PC for the livingroom, not a powerful machine for VAM users.
