Z-Fighting

Do not stack entities on the same Z axis. Stacking entities on the same plane will result in z-fighting. Instead, provide a slight offset on the Z-axis when overlapping entities.

Easy Debugging

If you would like to inspect the HTML or JavaScript data of the selected entity: - Open the inspector with Ctrl + Shift + i

  • On headsets, a limited console can be opened with Ctrl+i. This console does not take inputs but will display errors.

  • Enter “selectedEntity” into the command prompt, this will bring up all associated HTML code

  • Enter “selectedEntity.getAttribute(“<desired component>”) to see the associated JavaScript data for the desired component

    • Ex: selectedEntity.getAttribute(“position”) to view position or selectedEntity.getAttribute(“material”) to view texture and color

  • Enter “selectedEntity.setAttribute(“<desired component>”,<desired value>) to set the associated JavaScript data for the desired component

    • Ex: selectedEntity.setAttribute(“position”,{x: 0, y: 0, z: -125}) to set position to 0,0 on the cylindrical plane

    • Ex: selectedEntity.setAttribute(“material”,{color: “#0000FF”, shader: “flat”, src: “”}) to set the color to red and remove the texture

    • Make sure to include shader: “flat” to remove unnecessary lighting effects
