Pie Throw - A big throwable pie with a cream splat on a hit, 3 flavors (VRChat / Modular Avatar)

A big pie you can throw, for parties and penalty games. It comes in 3 flavors: Strawberry, Chocolate and Cream.

Throw it and it flies straight ahead of your body. If it hits another character's head, body, hands or feet, the cream splats with a sound.

One button adds it to your avatar. Adjust the pie position and size with sliders.

Good for

• Birthday and celebration pie fights
• Penalty games
• Comedy skits and prank role-play
• Splat-moment photos at meetups

3 ways to throw

Each way, the pie flies in an arc straight ahead of your body (it reaches about 9 m on a 160 cm avatar at 1x size; the distance scales with the pie size).

1. Hand gesture: while the pie is out, make the gesture you picked with the throwing hand. No need to open the menu. You choose the gesture when adding the pie (Victory / peace sign by default; Point, Rock'n'Roll, Finger gun, Thumbs up, or Don't use). On desktop, hold the Shift key on the throwing-hand side and press an F key (right-hand peace sign = Right Shift+F5; Point F4, Rock'n'Roll F6, Finger gun F7, Thumbs up F8). To throw again, go back to a neutral hand first (on desktop: Shift+F1).

2. Grab and throw (VR): grab the pie beside your hip with the throwing hand (grip), then let go.

3. Menu: press "Pie Throw" > "Throw" in the menu.

Features

• Show / hide the pie with "Pie" in the menu. A new pie appears a moment after each throw (after a hit, once the cream is gone)
• Hitting another character's head, body, hands or feet makes a cream splat with a sound
• One-button setup; pick the throwing hand (right or left), the flavor and the throw gesture
• Pie size (0.5x to 2x) and the height and forward / back position at the hip can be adjusted by hand
• Remove it with one button (or Ctrl+Z). To change the flavor, hand or gesture, remove it and add it again

Notes

• The pie flies straight ahead of your body (hips), not where your head is looking. To hit someone beside you, turn your body
• If your avatar uses the chosen gesture for a facial expression, the face changes when you throw. Pick another gesture or "Don't use" if you do not want that
• The pie is about 49 cm across on a 160 cm avatar
• Hits use VRChat's contacts (head, torso, hands, feet, fingers). It does not react to your own body. On walls and floors it flies on and disappears
• Other people's avatars are not changed. Cream stays at the hit point for a moment. The hit effect and sound run in each person's own VRChat
• Only you can grab your pie. While you hold it, the throwing hand stays closed
• PC only. For Humanoid avatars with the index, middle and little finger bones assigned
• Uses 3 synced parameters (3 bits)
• Requires Unity 2022.3, VRChat SDK (Avatars; tested with 3.10.5), Modular Avatar (tested with 1.18.7) and lilToon (tested with 2.3.4)
• Tested in VRChat on desktop (showing the pie, throwing with a gesture, throwing with the menu, flying straight ahead; the video was recorded in VRChat) and passed the VRChat SDK Build & Test
