Description

SDK DOCUMENTATION: https://docs.vrchat.com/v2022.1.2/docs/avatar-dynamics

There was A LOT to cover in this video, so please use the timestamps as needed! I probably missed something, but I tried to cover everything that I could for the essentials to make the lightsaber. Please be aware, this video assumes you have a basic understanding of how to navigate through unity and make animations and such, if you don't, there are other videos explaining how to make toggles, use motion time, convert floats into bools and other things that are important for making this lightsaber work!

Sorry for the lightsaber sound being loud while I was talking, I'll make sure that Unity's sound is lower for future recordings!

If you have any questions or want more of an explanation about something in particular just ask!
You can also message me on discord (Wolfy#2727) but please let me know why you are messaging me when you add me/message me so that I know it's not just a random friend request!
