Test it

Section titled “Test it”

With Gesture Manager, a free tool you can add to your project from VCC:

  1. In Unity's menu bar, select Tools > Gesture Manager Emulator.
  2. Press Play. AvatarDoc builds the menu, the same way it does for an upload.
  3. In the Hierarchy, select GestureManager. Its inspector shows your avatar's menu as a wheel.
  4. Open Expressions and press your hat's toggle.

The hat starts hidden, because a new toggle starts off. Each press shows or hides it. To start with the hat shown, tick Default on in the toggle's panel.

Without Gesture Manager, upload the avatar and press the toggle in VRChat's Expressions menu.
