One Player Trigger Vote to Kick

Inspiration

We were inspired by the need for fair, democratic moderation in virtual spaces. Many VR experiences struggle with disruptive behavior in shared areas, so we wanted to create a community-driven solution that empowers users to self-moderate through collective decision-making.

What it does

Our One Player Trigger Vote to Kick system creates a single-occupancy booth with democratic ejection mechanics.

When one player enters the booth, others can vote to remove them if they're being disruptive or monopolizing the space.
The system requires a minimum threshold of votes (1/3 of total players) to eject someone, ensuring fair and balanced moderation.

How we built it

We built this using Horizon Worlds' TypeScript framework with two main components:

VoteToKickUI: A responsive UI component with real-time vote tracking, visual feedback, and state management
SinglePlayerTrigger: The core logic handling player detection, vote counting, teleportation, and world events

The system features dynamic vote thresholds, prevents self-voting, tracks voter history, and provides clear visual feedback throughout the voting process.

Challenges we ran into

Implementing real-time synchronization across multiple players
Preventing vote manipulation and ensuring one-vote-per-player integrity
Creating intuitive UI feedback that clearly communicates voting status
Handling edge cases like players leaving mid-vote or the target player exiting voluntarily
Balancing the vote threshold to be fair but not too permissive

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Created a fully functional democratic governance system for virtual spaces
Implemented robust state management that handles complex multiplayer scenarios
Designed an intuitive UI with smooth animations and clear visual feedback
Built a scalable vote threshold system that adapts to varying player counts
Successfully integrated trigger volumes, UI components, and teleportation systems
