[nova pelican]

if this works chris i owe you bigtime

[storm patio]

or if there's a BiRP version of the playground asset you could also try that with your existing project

[nova pelican]

BiRP from the Asset page ?

BiRP dont know what it means but i assume it has to do with the playround

[storm patio]

doesn't seem so, so never mind on that

BiRP = built-in render pipeline

[nova pelican]

made project , importing assets

[storm patio]

changing to urp should solve the warnings i think, but i'm not sure if it will solve the errors.
if it doesn't, my best guess would just be that it's an issue with the editor itself

like i mentioned before, 6.2.8f1 seems to be kinda unstable

[nova pelican]

Whats the most stable version and how to use it ?

[storm patio]

if the errors aren't resolved, i guess the next step would be downgrading to 6.0, the current LTS version

[storm patio]

there isn't a "most stable" version, but there are several known stable versions

[nova pelican]

Understandable

okay check this out

rigidbody is back

[storm patio]

oh nice

[nova pelican]

now lets just do the simple movement

those unity premade scripts

[storm patio]

you don't have to keep updating us on your work btw

[nova pelican]

i added a cabsule 2d collider on the alien

[storm patio]

just come back if you have questions or issues

[craggy pollen]

move it to #💻┃code-beginner for coding questions

[nova pelican]

this is the issue

when i add movement

the rigid body

properties

disappear

[storm patio]

please finish your thought before hitting enter

mm, that's odd.

could you share the script you added

!code

[nova pelican]

nothing seems to work using the actual script in the asset library

If i use my own script im sure rigid will go off again

[storm patio]

well you don't seem to be getting any errors there

[nova pelican]

Yeah thats whats been buzzling me for a full day

no matter what i cant get the character to move

if i mess around with code rigid goes off

[storm patio]

share the code of the Move component

so that's using the old input system, not the new one

!input

[vagrant root]

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

[nova pelican]

oh

Project Settings ? from the first UI before we enter the project ?

where can i find it

[storm patio]

it's under the edit menu in the menu bar

[nova pelican]

Thanks

i selected new

restarting project

[storm patio]

no, you have to set it to old

you are using the old system

[nova pelican]

it was already on old mmm,

how about just both

[storm patio]

that makes sense, given that you didn't get errors

[storm patio]

are you actually using the new input system

[nova pelican]

think we find the issue

its the new one and im using the old

[storm patio]

definitely not

[nova pelican]

i selected both

lets test

[storm patio]

@nova pelican answer this

[nova pelican]

The default was old , it was fresh install

[nova pelican]

I dont know what that is

[storm patio]

that's not what i asked, no

then you are not.

set it to "Old"

restart if necessary

[nova pelican]

i set it to both

and it worked

magically

[storm patio]

yeah definitely not because you were actually using the old system

jesus christ

[nova pelican]

Dude ) i dont know what you talking about but it was old i set it to both and it worked

end of story ))

Man i dont know what to say

Thank you alot !! i really appreieate this

if you need any help with code , like actual coding not game engines and stuff let me know ))

you can test using the same lib i used

to see if you will get the same error or not

oh

speeaking of which

my rigid option disabeard again

at this point

i will just contact trainer

but at least i can move the character

less embarssing

[storm patio]

it was probably not refreshed, given that you just hit yes on setting the input system to new

so by setting it to both, you solved it by enabling the old system

man i do not understand why people come here and ignore clear instructions and jump to their own conclusions

[nova pelican]

i just set it to old it works

It's okay bro you just gotta be patient sometimes people don't understand as much as you do

i still keep getting the errors but the character moves

the old errors

thanks for the help )

[glass kraken]

hi,I'm trying to build a game that has an animated enemy chasing the player,I simply added a light layer 1 light layer to the skinned mesh renderer component of the enemy and then excluded it from the rendering layers in the light component of the flashlight of the player and now all the enemy's logic doesn't work anymore, he simply keeps chasing the player without stopping while it shouldn't do that, what did I do wrong and how to fix this?

[glass kraken]

nvm,an asset I had imported simply changed all my layers and broke everything

[sacred pelican]

ok cool but what does it want me to do?

[storm patio]

then it's probably the editor issue. try lts

[jaunty nova]

Yo Wsp

[tepid shoal]

hi, there is an automatic way to make this tile map configure with the rule tile map? Or I need to do it manually ?

[storm patio]

perhaps ask #🖼️┃2d-tools

[tepid shoal]

ok

[nova pelican]

As soon as I uninstalled the 6.2 and installed the 6.0 everything was fixed

Lesson dont install 6.2

[glass kraken]

hi,I really need jumpscares for my game but I can't find good tutorials on it, or documentations, how should I do it?

[shadow heron]

Look at other games to see how the did it.

[gentle brook]

Someone makin baldi mods here

Sad

Its eazy AF to make one

[charred fog]

@gentle brook There are no modding discussions here

[gentle brook]

Oj

Oh i mean

[charred fog]

Or off-topic. Do you have a Unity related question?

[polar basalt]

what???

i just restarted unity and i still have that error???

OHH

could be? not sure

[novel scarab]

busy_capybara_76963 was banned.

[versed magnet]

Hmmm idk then. There aren't really any errors

It's default shutdown behaivor btw

[shadow heron]

I'm using a configurable joint to make the cylinder go down but how can I make it go fully down and not half way? does my player mass need to be a higher value? is there another way around this?

[grand bison]

can someone help? in the editor I set the players speed to something fast but after exporting webgl the players speed is slower

[viral hill]

does setting the y motion to free instead of limited help?

[viral hill]

lookup time.deltatime. it's likely your speed is based off of framerate

[shadow heron]

no there's no difference

[grand bison]

time.deltatime is only used for moving the player not the speed

[marble rose]

this is what other scene view tool

[viral hill]

hmm not sure then. this is a better question for #⚛️┃physics

@shadow heron tagged the wrong person, this is for u ^

[shadow heron]

these are the settings I changed (the ones marked with red)

[dusky forum]

Others have had similar issues due to anti virus
https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity2022-2-21f1-why-editor-is-totally-black/1683186/5

[viral hill]

i'm not sure what you mean by this

[marble rose]

while my scene view like this, tried load default layout nothing change

[viral hill]

is your speed not responsible for how fast the player moves?

[grand bison]

it is

[viral hill]

the difference is that your tools settings arent docked, that's it

[grand bison]

it's like
rb add force (vector.forward * speed* time.deltatime, forcemode impulse)

[storm patio]

you should not use time.deltatime there

[grand bison]

use wut

[mild radish]

nothing.. just speed

[storm patio]

nothing, and use a continuous force instead - forcemode force

[mild radish]

its not really a speed but a force

[grand bison]

ah nah here we go again 30min to export project 😭

[mild radish]

speed would be if u were using Update() or something applying a portion of the variable per deltaTime

[grand bison]

my not native to English ass says speed

[grand bison]

I am using update

[mild radish]

all good.. u can name it w/e u want

[storm patio]

rb.AddForce(Vector3.forward * speed, ForceMode.Force); or just rb.AddForce(Vector3.forward * speed);

though, shouldn't it be transform.forward, not Vector3.forward

[storm patio]

you should use FixedUpdate for AddForce

[mild radish]

ur not applying it in Update tho.. b/c addforce runs on teh physics (FixedUpdate()) step

[grand bison]

I don't use translate so player doesn't go through walls due to too many speed upgrades

[dusky forum]

I don't think anything about translate was mentioned

[grand bison]

wha

sry it's js my 2nd game and I made with no outside help
I could send the link, it's ready to play through itch.io html5 but I think it's a bannable offense

[dusky forum]

Just rather, the direction being relative to the transform and not simply up

[storm patio]

no clue what you're trying to say there

[storm patio]

well.. they might.....
even if they shouldn't

[marble rose]

just found it, so i need toggle it on overlay menu

[mild radish]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/can-someone-please-explain-rb-addforce-to-me/808068

You shouldn’t use AddForce in Update, because the forces applied will be significantly affected by FPS. Use FixedUpdate instead (but keep input checks in Update).

[unreal jewel]

set your compression to gzip instead of brotli in the player settings, speeds it up a lot

[mild radish]

or "no compression" 😈

[storm patio]

also, dev builds

[mild radish]

are dev builds naturally faster?

[grand bison]

some ahh said brotli for compression or idk
my build is 15mb last time I exported it

[viral hill]

yes

[storm patio]

yeah, that's kinda the point of dev builds. they do less optimization and stuff

[mild radish]

ahh i thought it was mainly for the logging capabilities and stuff

[unreal jewel]

brotli is the default iirc and it is a better compression scheme, but it slows down build times by a lot

[grand bison]

took me 40 minutes to export a game about cubes 😭✌️

[mild radish]

but after that it should be quicker 😉

[unreal jewel]

webgl builds take a while yeah

native platform builds are usually faster

[grand bison]

made a game in 3 days
releases it publicly
no player can move cuz of time.deltatime
can't fix it until tmr
@grand bison quit unity

[storm patio]

or like... don't release it publically?

[grand bison]

on itch

guh

[storm patio]

yeah you don't have to

you could make a separate page to test builds privately

[grand bison]

"optional"

[storm patio]

you are creating nonexistant constraints for yourself

[grand bison]

whatever

[unreal jewel]

not right away at least, you can test the build first before making it public

[mild radish]

why didnt u test it privately before dropping a release 🤔

[unreal jewel]

also you can test framerate dependency in the editor

[grand bison]

cuz I'm a fucking idiot

[mild radish]

nah dont say that 😄

[grand bison]

how

[grand bison]

I spent 50min figuring out lerp

[mild radish]

u can ste ur target frame-rate in code..

a simple way to do it (the way i do it) is just by testing the game with the screen really small.. and then fullsized

there will be different frame-rates b/c when ur drawing the editor along-side the game.. the frames dip..

and when its fullscreen the frames grow..

soo u can tell if any of ur movement code is incosistent

[grand bison]

one of my scripts lock the aspect ratio to 16:9 will it still work

[mild radish]

it can be 16:9 and really small 😄

[grand bison]

ok

[grand bison]

dayum

[mild radish]

these would run way differently ^ the fullsized screen runs much faster than a smaller undocked sreen

[grand bison]

wait how do you make the play test thingy a different window

[mild radish]

click the Game tab and drag it away from the window

[grand bison]

[mild radish]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html heres that other method

u can make a script ^ and add a variable and test it w/ dfferent frame-rates

[ionic epoch]

you can use chat gpt

[unreal jewel]

or you can actually learn how to do the thing

[ionic epoch]

this may also be the case

[molten gust]

Hey how do i make Volumetric fog or light idk how to explain but like when a light is on its showing the outline of the light through the air

[mild radish]

its called GodRays / Volumetric lighting

[molten gust]

Ok Yeah How Do I Do That

[deft rock]

In URP there is no built in solution.
There is in HDRP.

[molten gust]

ok so i can only do it in hdrp?

[mild radish]

for URP you can check out githubs

theres a few URP volumetric assets

[deft rock]

No, you either have to make your own or buy one or find a free one

[molten gust]

oh

ok well that you guys

[molten gust]

prob will try it out

[mild radish]

https://github.com/CristianQiu/Unity-URP-Volumetric-Light

first result.. but u can get the idea

[molten gust]

wow that looks sick

Thanks Man

[pseudo flare]

This is also a great tool, even better if you can get it half price

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/ethereal-urp-2024-volumetric-lighting-fog-274279

[mild radish]

https://github.com/CristianQiu/Unity-Packages-Gifs/raw/main/URP-Volumetric-Light/Sponza.gif yea this looks 🔥

[molten gust]

ima just quickly save these linksbrb

[rough forge]

Hey is there any channel where i can ask questions related to Unity UI? I am very new

[pseudo flare]

to unity as whole really

Oh thanks!

#📲┃ui-ux for UGUI, #🧰┃ui-toolkit for the new UI toolkit

[rough forge]

Thanks a lot

[molten gust]

ok Thnaks Guys wish me luck doing my first game jam in a week Cya!

[glass kraken]

how can I see how they did it? I've never made any jumpscares,I just know how it should look like

[shadow heron]

You would have a ontrigger box collider, when the player enters this the jump scare would play.

[shadow heron]

Example ↓

[shadow heron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-cSaUGTLEY

[mild radish]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/help-with-a-jumpscare/858599

[glass kraken]

yesss I know how to do that

[mild radish]

its just abunch of steps..
reveal a model
flicker some lights
make sound effect play
quickly lerp the model towards the player
.. so on

all gets kicked off by the trigger

or a timer, or w/e u wanna use

[tepid horizon]

my unity deadass just crashed by creating a plane on a fresh project

[mild radish]

rekt

[tepid horizon]

unity didnt even get the change to add it to my projects list

i had to manually add it

[glass kraken]

but what I want is a jumpscare that'd kill the player, it's not logic to simply kill the player on trigger, how can the player win then? it'd be 100% luck,I want the enemy to run towards the player and then kill him

[tepid horizon]

are we serious rn

[glass kraken]

a bit like granny or smth like that

[mild radish]

well use a different box collider for when the enemy gets near the player? 🤔

or check its distance to the player..

[rancid whale]

what Unity version you on

[tepid horizon]

6000.1.5f1

[mild radish]

if enemy.position - player.position < smallValue = ded

[tepid horizon]

not sure what happened. pressed ignore and its fine.

no clue how making a plane caused it to crash though 😭

[mild radish]

should really be using an LTS version of Unity if you want stable..

[mild radish]

check the logs.. and it'll tell you (possibly)

[split crescent]

Hello, does anybody know why I do not have access to the unity AI settings? I am the owner.

[rough gate]

guys i'm sorry but how am I supposed to be helped if your post gets deleted because in this server also breathing is spamming?How am I supposed to be helped if I'm not counted when I post something (a post where I asked for suggestions, without anyone's attention) and when I post something in other channels to ask for more help and be counted, there's someone who already tells me he doesn't want to see my post (hypocritical act considering he also asked for help) and another who reports me for spam? I ended up here to expand a team that rn contains only me for a MF video game, to get help and support, how can you help me in this way?

[forest otter]

It's okay, bud. Boxfriend ignored me too

[storm patio]

yall what

@forest otter On your commands comment. It's for people too lazy to read #📖┃code-of-conduct . Also don't post off topic here.

[rough gate]

Yeah, someone said me the same. How tf am I even supposed to post🤦🏼

[charred fog]

If you don't want your questions ignored provide information so they can be answered.

[forest otter]

That's what I did with Boxfriend and he STILL ignored me

[storm patio]

im so confused right now

this isn't a hivemind yknow

[storm patio]

ok? no-one here owes you time. this is all volunteer work

if someone is unable to answer for whatever reason, they will not

[viral hill]

if you want feedback, go to #1180170818983051344 . if you want help with bugs, find the appropriate channel and ask there. what is the problem with this

[forest otter]

Well, fogsight just said "If you want something answered, provide information"

that's what I did

[storm patio]

and that's a requirement, not a guarantee

[forest otter]

Okay 👌

[viral hill]

why do you think you're in a position to deserve the opposite?

[forest otter]

Uhm idk because I provided information

[viral hill]

that means literally nothing

[forest otter]

I bet you bet you're deserving, huh?

[viral hill]

lmao what are you on about

[rough gate]

Nothing, just it's quite confusing that a person who are there more time than me says the opposite of another person

[storm patio]

riiight this isn't a hivemind, we aren't all the same person

[charred fog]

@forest otter If you are unsure about the question ask a question about it, don't start bickering or attacking people.

[forest otter]

I'm not attacking, I just think people like to say "stop acting entitled" but then they want answers too

[viral hill]

it seems like a small misunderstanding, nothing more

[forest otter]

But might just be my learning disability

[storm patio]

of course we want them. but we do realize that we are not entitled to them

[forest otter]

It's kinda hard to read people

[storm patio]

desire and expectation are not the same thing

[forest otter]

OH okay then. I apologize

[storm patio]

ideally - one would want answers, but be content not getting them

but it is hard to be content when the unanswered question blocks you from getting work done, that's understandable

[viral hill]

i also have a learning disability. stop using this as an excuse for jumping to conclusions

[forest otter]

Not doing that but okay. Let's stay on topic

[storm patio]

when you get conflicting advice, if you want to figure out the truth, then you gotta ask for clarification rather than vague complaints

[rough gate]

ok

anyways I realized that after all this, I've still not figured out a name for my game😅

I'd better hurry...

Is unity better than CryEngine

[storm patio]

no, nothing is objectively "better" than anything else

if you want to use unity, use unity
if you want to use CryEngine, use CryEngine

[mild radish]

is it better for you? you'd have to go out and test and let us know

then does it really matter to anyone but you? being the impacted user?

[mild radish]

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/e9qela/unity_or_cryengine/
TLDR: same replies as you get here...

It's your game, so you get to pick the engine,
Everyone goes through this but the answer is that it’s a waste of time to think too hard about it.

i'll add one thing thats also prevalent :
Unity Documentation/Tutorials/Support > CryEngine Documentation/Tutorials/Support

[plain dagger]

Unreal documentation last because its half complete or missing

[mild radish]

lol.. i've never seen Unreal documentation.. 🫠 like the ellusive bigfoot

[plain dagger]

Its not great but its improving. it used to be worse as it would mix bp/cpp. Though there are many things that still have no description for cpp

[rancid whale]

i had to upgrade my OS just to try Unreal 5.6
never again 🥲
the included "500 animation motion matching" is ... really not that good 🤷‍♂️

[mild radish]

lol.. I recreated a prototype of mine in Unreal..
the graphics were pretty incredible
the work-flow... garbage lol

[rancid whale]

how about FPS?
i struggled to even get 50, on a starter project of theirs Lol

[mild radish]

i dont think i ever checked the frame-rate tbh

that'd had been another half a day looking at how

[plain dagger]

default projects have soo many processing effects already enabled and baked in its weird
I don't agree with how those features are so baked into the engine

[mild radish]

but before we diverge too far.. #1202155978372423690 lets remember this is still here 😉

[mild radish]

||ya, the location of these things were the most confusing.. submenus and whatnot||

[mild radish]

we could set up an Unity or CryEngine thread...
but that ☝️ is the first and only time i've ever seen someone ask between the two

didn't know CryEngine was still even relevant if im honest

[deft rock]

probably isn't much, beyond CryTek

[split crescent]

Does anyone had the same issue and knows how to fix it?

[sly lake]

No, they took down the public repo ages ago. Last thing we heard was Crysis 4 being shelved so I doubt it’ll make a comeback.

[mild radish]

makes sense

[young gazelle]

Hi, im trying to download unity but it keeps loading, not showing me how much space is available, and keeping me from downloading

so i dont really know what to do

[sly lake]

Have you tried a reboot?

[young gazelle]

I'll try real quick

[young gazelle]

Nop, stil doesnt work

[near wigeon]

what does the repo have to do with anything?

They still use Hunt as their "tech demo" of what the engine can do its a very good and capable engine, Imo a better look than Unreal

[sly lake]

They took the engine private and stopped updating it

Years ago

[near wigeon]

idk I used it last month and all seemed well..not sure what you mean

[rocky nebula]

i made the mistake of putting my project on micrsoft onedrive... suddenly I could no longer drag and drop files in my asset folders in the Project window... I have moved the files out of the one drive folders, but they are still locked.

if I add a new folder, I can drag and drop stuff in it. I have check permissions on the files, and tried a bunch of recommendations from searching, but ya, file project folders are all locked!

help! please

[sly lake]

The last update was three years ago

[young gazelle]

(also still need help lol)

[stiff quest]

Have you checked install location in settings > installs

[young gazelle]

thanks a lot !

that was the problem !

[rocky nebula]

I can't drag and drop in the project window, if I create a new folder I can. but everything got locked up... any suggestions?

[near wigeon]

try a different project

if it works, something is wrong in your assets.. maybe an editor script

[rocky nebula]

it happened after trying to put it on onedrive, I moved it back out, but still locked, new folders are fine

[near wigeon]

rip

you ruined your folder permissions

as OneDrive usually does

you should've uninstlled that spyware long ago

[rocky nebula]

I have a back up from a couple of days ago

[near wigeon]

maybe they are fixable outside in the os, but if you can revert just do that

[rocky nebula]

ya, I've been messing with os permissions, but nothing

I can add a new folder from within Unity and drag to it. when I look at the permissions, they look the same

[near wigeon]

whatever onedrive did to the folder , probably not just permissions..

or maybe its somewhere else you're not seeing it

[shadow heron]

Basically I am going to add a feature where when the player jumps and presses X I want the player to immediately go back to the ground performing a "Ground Slam". This should damage some objects that will have a health system later on. How would you guys do it?

[near wigeon]

if(keypress X )
Slam()

OverlapSphere for the Damage

[shadow heron]

ye but how would I bring the player down for the slam? just add a downforce? / addforce?

[near wigeon]

depends how you move it

addofrce could work
or velocity for a quicker / snappier feel?

[shadow heron]

well I am moving the player will addforce force

[near wigeon]

you could probably just do an Forcemode. Impulse down then ?

[shadow heron]

alr I will give it a try thx

[near wigeon]

on a similiar note, whats going to sell the effect a lot is putting a bit of a screenshake when slamming and maybe particle effects / decal on the hit

[acoustic terrace]

So I use Unity, cause it's easier and also becuase I don't have a NASA PC, and a cooling system in my buildin that puts the vaccume of Space to shame b
But I still like Unreal 5's Asset library. It's insane. Can I like make a map in Unreal and transfer it over to Unity?

[near wigeon]

no one is stopping you

[shadow heron]

This is what I have got so far and it works perfectly but one issue is that you can slam whenever you want. how can I make it so you need to jump to slam? you will probably say check if the player isn't grounded this wouldn't work either as I can roll off somewhere high and I wouldn't be grounded then I would be able to slam when I never jumped in the first place.

[near wigeon]

a bool like
hasJumped (on jump pressed / reset it on land)
or you can also check y Velocity is going up meaning you jumped unless you want it on the way down and not up the bool should suffice

[spark granite]

has the bug with UI been fixed yet where your inspector refuses to render the text?

[near wigeon]

should be

[spark granite]

i was on this patch for a while because of it so i'm kinda curious since there was also a security issue

[near wigeon]

iirc anything above 58f or 59f

[spark granite]

ah i can just go with LTS (60f) then

[near wigeon]

yes unless you need something specific to 6.2 then i'd stick with LTS

[spark granite]

ah right

[near wigeon]

6.2 is at 8 though so maybe its fixed

[spark granite]

i remember somebody mentioning UITK shaders in 6.2 🤔

[near wigeon]

no idea. I just know they're pushing 6.1 / 6.2 a lot because of the AI crap

[spark granite]

what AI crap?

man i cant stand more AI 😭

yeah bubble is about to burst

[near wigeon]

[spark granite]

so like. the illusion of people abusing AI is about to pop?

yeah i hope

[spark granite]

i just checked that 6.2 is not beta anymore so should be fine, i'll just go with 6.2 then.

[storm patio]

even outside of beta, it seems to have a few editor issues still

[near wigeon]

at your own risk. I wouldnt use anything non-lts in prod

also when 6.3 comes out, 6.2 is no longer "supported"

[spark granite]

i'm not a professional developer (crying) so

[spark granite]

6.2 doesnt get LTS or what do you mean

[near wigeon]

no i believe 6.3 might be

[spark granite]

mgiht be what

[near wigeon]

going to be LTS

[spark granite]

ah

thought every major version gets LTS

[storm patio]

well yes

but 6.2 isn't a major version

[sly lake]

There’s an LTS roughly once a year and feature updates in between. 6.1 and 6.2 were feature updates, 6.3 will be an LTS release.

[spark granite]

ah

[naive tide]

I really need someone to promise me in admob ads please

Please

I am in a financial crisis and I want to add admob ads to make some money but I don't know how to add ads

[plain dagger]

looked at their documentation?

[near wigeon]

first you need to make a game worth putting ads on..

considering you need to even ask how to implement them, doesnt strike hope the game is very good, let alone playable enough to make the ads money.. maybe 20 cents ? even thats probably high

if you plan on doing this as a way to make quick cash look for something else

[marble fiber]

Game dev is an art form, making money is not real, I’ve spent over 3000 hours making games and I haven’t made a single penny yet 😂

[near wigeon]

if you sell a game for 5$ even if 5 people buy it and play it a bit and call it trash after, you still made 25$.

thats way more than the few cents you will make with ads if the same amount download and play it free

[storm patio]

and then they refund 🙃

[near wigeon]

true esp if you're cheapo , some people do just say eh its a few bucks and move on

i wouldnt put on steam for that though, also it will cost you 100 so you lose money

[inland river]

once you approach 20k hours you can start getting paid 😛

[naive tide]

I have the game there just want how to place ads correctly

[inland river]

you place ads correctly by putting them in a dark, damp place and locking the door

[naive tide]

I'm serious

[inland river]

me too

[near wigeon]

you mede an entire game yet dont know how to implement the ads sdk ?

[inland river]

you cant make money from ads in your game

[near wigeon]

needs to be on some like Clash status or something

[storm patio]

hi, this is not a social space
https://nohello.net

[inland river]

if you want to make money, place ads for your game all over the world and do microtransactions for ingame currencies

[naive tide]

@near wigeon yes

[marble fiber]

Micro transactions might be more profitable than ads

[naive tide]

If there is anyone who can help me send me a private message

[near wigeon]

yes at least there is more incentive to buy some shiny skins or props custom , but the game still needs to not be a dumpster fire

[inland river]

but to get people to do microtransactions, you need to have an actually fun game

[storm patio]

please do not solicit DMs

[naive tide]

@inland river Why

[near wigeon]

realistically no one is gonna DM you

[storm patio]

i mean.. can't force people not to DM you, but it's generally frowned upon

[inland river]

all the info you need is here btw: https://docs.unity.com/en-us/grow/ads

[near wigeon]

AI generated logo, no idea how to read docs / basic sdk . doesnt inspire confidence in the product, why should someone waste their own time

[inland river]

nobody here will encourage you to do anything that furthers the enshittification of gaming

[naive tide]

I want admob ads not unity ads

[inland river]

go ask the admob discord

[naive tide]

Where can I find it?

[near wigeon]

here ya go
https://developers.google.com/admob/unity/quick-start

[naive tide]

I mean a community or server in the Discord application that talks about admob ads, mainly mobile game development.

[near wigeon]

did you read the top part in yellow ?

it tells you their discord

[naive tide]

Yes I'll tell you in detail what I want.

[near wigeon]

No you don't tell me. Tell it there

I could care less

[storm patio]

-# could you though

[near wigeon]

with proper motivation 💰

[storm patio]

-# that would be caring more

[naive tide]

I developed a game that I downloaded in the Play Store and I had ads in my game, but when I downloaded it in the Play Store, the ads don't work when you press a button that gives you something in exchange for the game ad, it hangs and you don't want to work (stops).

[near wigeon]

I developed a game that I downloaded in the Play Store
what?

[naive tide]

And I didn't find the reason why unity makes the ads not work so I want someone to review the game with me in the engine

[near wigeon]

unless you provided some code to be debugged and you are showing you can at least try to debug it , maybe there is hope

[storm patio]

-# in the interest of not going super off topic im just gonna link you this https://www.grammarly.com/blog/commonly-confused-words/couldnt-care-less/
-# sorry if that comes off as condescending, just wanted to share

[naive tide]

Yes, why

[near wigeon]

oh okay Ill give it a read I'm always up to learning. Eng is actually not my main so some stuff still confuses me 😅

[storm patio]

i think they're saying they made a game, published it, and then downloaded it to test?

[naive tide]

Does anyone know a server for mobile developers in Discord

[near wigeon]

no matter where you go if you don't properly debug your issue not many will bother

use logs and other means to find out whats happening behind the scenes, Logcat etc. You can find out why its failing, if you want someone to hold your hand this aint the place

[naive tide]

Whatever it is, I'll see how to deal with this problem.

[drowsy sierra]

so my unity hub wont open any projects

just sits on the loading bar forever

reinstalled the hub and the editor, restarted pc, idk whats causing it

[somber sky]

I’m kidding

[silver estuary]

Guys I need help. I am making a car and I added a box collider. When it is on the plane it just falls through the plane

[heady gorge]

Is there a way to know when fixes to the editor are up other than just checking?

Kind of too deep in the project to go to an older version

[near wigeon]

show the setup, including plane inspector

[meager oriole]

Anyone know of any discords that have some discussion on making low res. sprites? Trying to learn. Stuck with what to do next in Unity without my own assets. I want to make them myself. Just want to get better at it.

[latent meadow]

not sure why you need a discord. use google, learn, produce, prosper.

[meager oriole]

Could say that about Unity too

[fair cove]

I would try to find a structured tutorial series that goes over the basics to the advanced and walks you through the steps of creating sprites (maybe with a practical example so the concepts might make more sense) - im not much of an artist myself, so maybe there are blog-like tutorials on art sites like DeviantArt, ArtStation, etc, but if you think a server specifically for low res sprites is better, maybe you can search the Discord directory for game art servers or pixel art servers

[azure pond]

did you ever start unity hub as administrator?

or do you ever use Run as Administrator to solve problems on your computer?

[azure pond]

a lot of things could have gone wrong. are you following any official guides on setting up ads? there are a lot of rules and surprises

[naive tide]

You have a solution

[azure pond]

yeah in my experience, there is a detailed guide to follow

for example you have to configure roles for your google account(s) for this sort of thing

[latent meadow]

Running the hub as admin is not advisable.

[azure pond]

and there's a lot of differences between unity native ads (i.e. ironsource) versus other networks

it sounds like you are using an offerwall product, you have to read the guide specific to it

[naive tide]

Do you have the experience

Do you have a mobile game with admob ads

[plain dagger]

you keep asking the same thing, try to help yourself

[naive tide]

I have tried many times and I have not fixed anything and if there is no answer about you it is wrong not to answer something outside the topic

[plain dagger]

Look to get help here you have to ask a specific question, such as "I get x error how can i fix it? Here is the error msg y"
Anyway do this first to begin trying to get more information to solve it: #📱┃mobile message

[naive tide]

I sent a message about an hour ago and no one answered me they don't talk much I think

Thanks anyway

[potent geyser]

Have you actually used logcat yet?

[shadow heron]

Things I would check ~

• Does the box collider on the car have ontrigger checked? If so turn it off

• Does the plane have a collider? If not add a collider so objects with a rigidbody don't fall through

There should be a section where you can offer feedback on their site.

[gusty abyss]

Hey everyone! Need some advice, I’m teaching game engines currently, and one of my students wants to make a a game with Unreal. How should I convince him to use unity?

[still stone]

Ask if he likes his pc... That unity requires a less powerful pc than unreal engine

[gusty abyss]

That would be kind of inadequate, but I’ll still use that idea, thanks!

[still stone]

Realistically speaking
Unity is better for lightweight projects that require less rendering, unreal engine can handle up to 8k graphics and raytracing easier... But it comes with a steeper cost (both financially for assets and pc components)
Unity engine provides far better education materials than Unreal engine too. I have been a user of both for a while and love both engines for what they do. But I'm having to spend 3k to fix my pc because of what I did in unreal engine

[gusty abyss]

He is in a meeting with me, and he is saying he might use Roblox studios 😭

I’m telling him right now Robux is worth nothing.

[turbid lantern]

Why is this internal in Unity? 🙁

[still stone]

I have no harm forwarding you some of my in project images for both Unity and Unreal and you can show him some stuff you can do, plus I know a website quite well for assets that are fully useable in Unity and look Unreal engine worthy too

[still stone]

So it's built in?

[turbid lantern]

I can't use it because it's internal

[latent meadow]

please make a thread

[nimble stone]

You can view the code, just clone it

😛

[turbid lantern]

Oh

Right

lmao

Actually, I can't. I assume Unity doesn't support the method I want. Oh, well.

Unity's C# version, I mean

[nimble stone]

https://source.dot.net/#System.Private.CoreLib/src/libraries/System.Private.CoreLib/src/System/Numerics/BitOperations.cs,af96b203ee2f79f7
You can also find them in there

But yeah, Unity only supports some features of C# 9.0

However, there are tools that allows you to upgrade the version but can have risks.

[chrome oracle]

Hey my computer doesn't have space in my C drive so I can't get blender is there any addons for unity that lets me do somewhat the samething

[still stone]

If you haven't got space to get blender on your main drive and (assuming) unity is on that too.. you may have issues moving forwards, look at externals

[chrome oracle]

No i use a D drive but all of the storge in my C drive is basicly taken up and unity is on my D drive

[still stone]

Okay, just checking
There may well be an asset in the asset store but blender is usually the better option, can you not just install blender onto your other drive too? I have most of my apps on multiple drives

[latent meadow]

yes, they could.

[chrome oracle]

No blender needs at lest 500mg on your C drive at lest that is the issue I ran into while trying to download it

[still stone]

If you haven't got 500mb on your drive... You need to clean it up... Regardless

[latent meadow]

this is quickly going far off topic. Make your d: be the drive Temp files use. Make sure you download to a place on d: then install from there. google for how to do these things.
You could try using Probuilder in Unity. other options tend to be paid.

[chrome oracle]

The only thing I have on it is windows

[chrome oracle]

I'll try that thanks

Is there any option to permanently close Unity Hub when I press close button? Right now it's still in system tray:

[latent meadow]

i usually just right click and close it, if i want it really closed. i am not aware of an option to auto close it

[woeful spear]

Usually apps have option to close it permanently. E.g., Discord has this option. It doesn't seem it's in Hub.

[plain dagger]

hub is needed for license checks which is probably why it doesn't exit when closed

[pulsar spruce]

I'm learning the roll-a-ball tutorial. I feel very stupid. I'm trying to read the instructions but my mind just won't process the information for some reason. I will read it but it won't make any sense in my head. I don't know if this is a dyslexia thing or an adhd thing or just me not understanding it.

[woeful spear]

I did it recently. Where are you stuck?

There's also video for the same in the tutorial.

[pulsar spruce]

I'm on part 4 creae a new script. Idk its more of a personal thing

That is something you will have to deal with, yourself, then. if you have a specific Unity question, feel free to ask. Note, this is not a social chatroom.

ok

[hardy halo]

Hey general question is UGUI or UIToolkit the recommended way to create UI in Unity?

[balmy kettle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/UI-system-compare.html

[hardy halo]

basically i can use uitoolkit if dont need shader on the UI?

[balmy kettle]

that's not the only limitation, but essentially yes

[hardy halo]

its the biggest one i saw so far asides the recommend per coding level (but thats not an issue for me being a web dev)

[sacred pelican]

How can I copy the curve? I made this in play mode and wanna apply it to my prefab

[sly lake]

Hmm, you can right click > copy on AnimationCurve properties but not sure about this one.

[unreal shore]

How should I undle the "known securty issue"?

[balmy kettle]

you can just update to the patch that has the fix in it

[sly lake]

If you don't make Windows, MacOS or Android builds, you need to do nothing. Otherwise, either download the patch tool and make it part of your build pipeline, or update your project to a newer editor such as 2022.3.62f2.

[unreal shore]

Thanks! Actually in my Unity Hub I don't have any update option that's weird.

[sly lake]

There's no update option. You need to install the new editor then select it for your project

[balmy kettle]

there isn't an "update option" in the hub, you simply need to download the editor version you want to use and open the project with that version

[unreal shore]

On the Unity website I guess? How do I "import" the new version?

[balmy kettle]

use the unity hub

[unreal shore]

Oh yeah thanks

Now that I'm here I have an other less important question: I saw people having their assets displayed in an other way, more compact. Do you know how to change that?

[balmy kettle]

there's a zoom slider in the upper right of the project window

[unreal shore]

thanks!

[peak mountain]

how would someone generate LODS for terrain? my terrain is split up into several small terrains and I dont need full detail on distant terrains, is there a way I can generate LODS but still keep the edges matching up so people cant see gaps in the terrain?

[royal wing]

My best advice is don't follow tutorials to a tee. Maybe adjust it in a way that's somewhat different to what they're showing in order to get a better understanding of the material

[peak mountain]

could also have hit the three dots and changed it from two column layout to one column layout

[peak mountain]

if you're still relying on tutorials after 4 years something is wrong and you failed to learn fundamentals and I would focus there first.

[mild radish]

i still check out tutorials after 4 years.. theres entire systems i haven't touched yet 🤔

not saying i 💯 rely on them.. but use em as i've always used em.. exposure to ideas and concepts

[wraith pasture]

same for new stuff and if it's not tutorials then at least sample projects

[hushed hamlet]

Me too (at 14yrs full time). There are lots of amazing creators out there and lots of opportunities to keep improving yourself and processes.

Plus, 4 years "here and there" is very different from "everyday".

[mild radish]

didnt u move over to Unreal tho? 🤪

[hushed hamlet]

Its complicated (I have 4 companies atm) 😄 but yeah our biggest co. moved to unreal. That's a whole other beast as they add new features constantly with little documentation and no tutorials. So it often requires a lot of R&D to understand why these 3 mystery nodes were added and if they solve some problem

[mild radish]

ahh but ur still a unity hobbyist/ enthusiast tho right?

it'd be a shame to not use all that raw talent u have 🫠

[hushed hamlet]

Awww hah yeah, one of the new companies is purely indie games, and lots of focus on Unity. I've been mostly working on that one. We have a really cool unity one in production there right now. I love the engine

The game we are doing right now, i have no idea how we would've done it with unreal

[mild radish]

I love the engine
ya, i feel ya lol. my car and my game-engine are my two favorite big boy toys 😈

for whatever reason i have urges to recreate IRL things in teh game-engine..
for what reason? who knows

it fun tho lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

in the process of making a robotic / programmable arm atm

[hushed hamlet]

Oh man, I love(d) my car. Someone drove into it and destroyed it like last week. I got it on my cameras, so now im stuck with a dumb rental, waiting on insurance, so we can go car shopping

[mild radish]

ohh dang, thats unfortunate.. glad u got it on film

no insurance run-around for this guy

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah it was bad, she jumped two lanes, hit us speeding almost head on - bounced through the air and totalled the car behind us. I had judt parked, and stepped out to put the dogs in the house. So like 30 seconds away from it all.

Miraculously no one hurt and that's what insurance is for.

But yeah the big reveal game we are doing for the new studio, im super excited, but grossly behind :D. Right now working on the deformable and replacable limbs. Like, I have no idea how we would programmatically generate bones for avatars outside of unity.

[polar basalt]

this is something really weird tbh

also in game view its dissapearance happens too

i restarted unity and its fixed but this is really strange tbh, it didnt even throw an error or smth to let me know that something's not right..

unity version 6000.0.58f2

[storm patio]

that's.. not a rare thing

[polar basalt]

is this your project?

[storm patio]

nuisance/known warnings can be suppressed to let active warnings be more visible, etc

so not having active warnings is not uncommon

[polar basalt]

can i surpress the warnings that say that there are too many shadows?

[storm patio]

i mean.. you can
you maybe shouldn't though, if you have to ask

[polar basalt]

what ??

[errant schooner]

how do I fix this bug. I updated to the new version and all my text keeps dissapearing

[polar basalt]

how do i do that?

[mild radish]

reset the layout top right corner

[balmy kettle]

what specific version are you using?

[errant schooner]

6000.2.6f2

will try resetting layout

[mild radish]

it'll work but its just a work-around i believe

[balmy kettle]

that's not the latest version and should have been fixed in .7

[errant schooner]

ok I'll update later this week when I'm a bit more free to do the unity version shuffle (deleting the old version then reinstalling cause of low storage)

[mild radish]

u can just disable the Warnings and keep the Errors

[balmy kettle]

also don't spam your nonsense across multiple channels

[polar basalt]

yeah but my code does Debug.LogWarning()

[stiff quest]

have u tried reselect the object

[errant schooner]

yep

[stiff quest]

Sometimes it happened to me i just reselect or restart editor fixes it for me

[errant schooner]

yea same I playing the game also sometimes fixes it

[unreal shore]

Do you guys know why are my movements blurry when I use a cinemachine? (Virtual Camera)

[molten gust]

How Do I fix The Trees And Bushes? i tried To Change Material Surface Type But I Can Its Greyed out And idk what to do

[plain dagger]

you cant modify the material thats inside the imported asset. select it and do CTRL+D to duplicate it into an asset. You can modify that to enable alpha cutout or transparency draw mode.

[molten gust]

can i just do it in blender if thats possible?

[plain dagger]

Then you can assign the new material on the model import settings to make it use that instead easier

Depends on the model format used

[molten gust]

Ok

[molten gust]

Fxt or fmt i forgot what its called

[plain dagger]

but theres not much point as you should learn how to setup materials in unity

[molten gust]

okk

ill do that

thanks man

[robust hare]

Hey guys quick question. How do most games deal with enemy projectile variety. I currently have a fixed rate for which the enemy instantiates a bullet like every 4 seconds. But that’s just too predictable and boring. I’m wondering how do most games do it, is it like random times or phases on each enemy? My game relies on bullet deflecting so I’d want it to be challenging + fun variety. Ty!

[frail gulch]

Well it sorta depends on what the game actually entails but usually if I want some variety in my attack patterns I just throw some random number generators down for slight variation

[rough gate]

guys where can I post about my game plans, my intenctions ecc.?

[frail gulch]

Like let’s say your have a base of 4 seconds between strikes, you could add some randomness to it and make the strikes somewhere between every 3.5 and 4.5 seconds

[robust hare]

mm Okay so just randomizing fire rate then

[rough gate]

bc yesterday I was warned about writing things on an inappropiate channel so I don't want to risk another time

[worldly cave]

are you talking about like game design?

[frail gulch]

I mean that COULD be all you need, maybe you gotta add something extra idk

[balmy kettle]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[robust hare]

Ok cool ill try it out and see. Ty!!

[frail gulch]

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my unity? Every time I try loading up a project it just never actually loads and I stay here forever unless I cancel it.
The project gets made but I can’t actually turn it on or delete it

[worldly cave]

right but why

whats the end goal are you looking for assistance or something?

or do you just feel like sharing

[frail gulch]

Ok so I’ve found the error in the logs, lemme send it real quick

[rough gate]

Also sharing but I'll talk about having a team in the time and assistance, also bc it's a game i'm developing. If you're not interested or it's just inappropiate that's okay too

[worldly cave]

looks like youre missing module for the editor

try reinstalling the editor

[frail gulch]

This is after reinstalling

[worldly cave]

yeah im sorry but with what you are saying it doesnt really feel like the server for that lol

this is more of a place to get technical assistance

i guess #1180170818983051344 isnt too far off from what you want

[frail gulch]

Make a YouTube video about it and make a fuckton of ad money

[frail gulch]

Oh that

Thanks

[frail gulch]

Ok yeah I thought that would happen

[worldly cave]

i think you need to reinstall again

but this time fully delete any leftover files from this version

as well as the cache for that version

and then do a fresh install

[frail gulch]

Where do I find everything? I thought I deleted it all last time

[worldly cave]

something like

"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\6000.x.x"

if you find that folder or any files inside of it remove it

obviously find your version

and for the cache just look in the appdata files

[frail gulch]

It’s saying that unity is open even though it very much is not open

I’m just gonna restart my computer

[rough gate]

oh that works too actually

[frail gulch]

Ok all unity folders appear to be gone

[azure pond]

did you ever start hub as administrator?

[frail gulch]

It’s a tad late for that but if it fails to work when I reinstall I’ll try

[azure pond]

or the editor as administrator?

[azure pond]

no

you shouldn't do it

you should never start those things as administrator

i'm asking if you have in the past

[frail gulch]

No

I don’t think so

[azure pond]

how much free disk space do you have?

just 1 drive right?

[frail gulch]

I have 2 local disks, 1 extra drive, and one usb

[woeful copper]

how do you do that

[frail gulch]

I pasted text that was wayyyyyyy too big for discord so it just automatically made it into a txt file

[woeful copper]

how do you make a file line script code here in discord

[dusk rose]

does anyone know if theres any scripts out there free or in the unity asset store, that automaticaly generates NavMeshLinks? like floor-wall wall-ceilling

[mild radish]

inline for short code.. external services for big blocks

[woeful copper]

uh

[storm patio]

i hate that it's not actually inline as mentioned there...

i should bring that up as a suggestion maybe

[mild radish]

https://assetstore.unity.com/search#q=nav links

it may actually be better to find sources on github for that

inline go brrrr

[dusk rose]

i made one myself too, tuned out pretty good and modular tbh

[mild radish]

if u made one why u hunting for one? lol

[woeful copper]

this is different

[woeful copper]

like this download txt message thing

[dusk rose]

just wanted to know if theres one out there, i was thinking of adding it to unity asset store

[mild radish]

yea ones actually inline and the other isn't

sending text files is not the way to do it.. (even if its possible)
kinda fkn over anyone on mobile platforms trying to read that crap

[mild radish]

fix the padding on those buttons 🤪

[woeful copper]

ok soo, maybe it is hard to post one of those script files

[mild radish]

use external paste-bins for full scripts 👍

[dusk rose]

yeah and change the language to english only, made it half english half portuguese lol

[mild radish]

lol

[mild radish]

better yet.. add localization 😉

[mild radish]

as an asset publisher i'll give you a tip.. make your asset unique..
even if its nice and simple it can be rejected if there are already other assets out there that do the same thing..

especially if ur trying to undercut a paid asset.. i've done it on accident providing an asset for free when there were paid alternatives... got rejected pretty quickly..

[rancid whale]

Rejected? Like Unity themselves don't allow it?

[mild radish]

they didn't have any free variants.. only paid ones.. and they said Nope

i kinda understand tho.. (don't wanna alienate their paid asset contributors)

[hushed hamlet]

They want that 30% 😄

[rancid whale]

Might be time to switch to Godot

[mild radish]

nah, i just started making paid assets instead 😈

[hushed hamlet]

Meanwhile however, Unity has no issue rolling out their own paid service to compete with people in the market 😉

[worldly cave]

switch to s&box

[hushed hamlet]

But I digreeeeesss

[worldly cave]

honestly in like 5 years time im definetely hoping on s&box

i just need it to be a bit more "complete"

[mild radish]

s&box?

enlighten me plz

[copper gust]

tbh i dont think s&box is in the running like that

if you enjoy it tho by all means

[worldly cave]

its a spiritual successor to gmod, but instead of it being a game its a game engine which is basically what if we turned source 2 into unity

its almost identical to unity but it uses source 2 as its base

[mild radish]

ohhh okay i gotcha 👍

[worldly cave]

i worked on it and even participated in one of their contests

[mild radish]

you sure?
the reason i love Unity is its a power-house sandbox

[worldly cave]

yeah

i mean

[mild radish]

if u can think it up u can make it in unity

[worldly cave]

take a look at some pics of it

wait

[mild radish]

in-game, in-engine, doesnt matter

[rancid whale]

Whoa that seems kinda cool.

[worldly cave]

it uses the prefab/scene system exactly like unity

the component system as well

its pretty much a shameless copy of unity's core "mechanics" just running on source 2

[rancid whale]

Any advantages you've noticed so far?

[mild radish]

ohh its loving garry's mod 😅

[worldly cave]

right now theres no advantages because its still early in its life cycle

the main advantage is that the facepunch guys arent greedy and the entire thing will be fully free to use with no royalties

[rancid whale]

Kinda seems like, this whole thing could be a Unity Store asset

[mild radish]

ya, i believe thats just the defacto workspace now-a-days

[copper gust]

source 2 so far better level design capabilities

[worldly cave]

yeah also that

[mild radish]

if u notice all creative programs are starting to look the same

[worldly cave]

hammer editor is dope

[copper gust]

its using a whole different engine

[rancid whale]

Would you educate me on how?

[worldly cave]

source 2 uses the hammer editor

its a literal built in level editor

[copper gust]

hammer is really sick and unity's level design tooling solutions are garbage

[worldly cave]

its like those blockout assets for unity

but built in

[rancid whale]

Valve's source engines aren't public available though

[copper gust]

unity's isnt either

[rancid whale]

I guess, this s&box is the first publicly available one

Wdym? Unity is free

[copper gust]

oh misread, apologies

[worldly cave]

s&box is a fork of source 2

that has been made available to the facepunch devs

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1418679429202313369/1418679429713887242/Jtzz4go3vf.mov?ex=68f5e3ed&is=68f4926d&hm=8ff24726e6ae1c534dd1735423910046867ef2e343f8dde9c7176d0854a44f6f&

another cool thing is that every implementation every change is publically announced in these nice blog posts on their website

[mild radish]

ngl.. that UI is smexy

[worldly cave]

where the team or garry himself explain exactly what they changed and why

[rancid whale]

Do you think a whole game could be made in it, in current state?

[worldly cave]

right now? probably not

in like 2-3 years

sure

[marble fiber]

that looks really good, thats the s%box?

[worldly cave]

yes

[rancid whale]

the off topic is crazy right now 😌

[worldly cave]

well i guess the convo did start

from unity vs s&box

[mild radish]

Unity is not at all compareable

[rancid whale]

ngl i think most engines can do that ... looks like volumetric fog & dust particles, some light bouncing / reflection,etc basics

[worldly cave]

well s&box is the closest thing we get to unity but not unity, in fact i started off using unreal, switched to s&box and seamlessly without any hitches i came to unity

[marble fiber]

I was thinking you can replicatre that in unity easily

[mild radish]

Gadot / Redot / and other Forks are closing the gap pretty quickly

[rancid whale]

I just tried UE 5.6, again ... It's so bad
My computer was sweating like crazy just from having the editor open lol

[worldly cave]

s&box is so close to unity that stuff like github co pilot regularly autocompletes unity code for you lol while using s&BOX

[safe heron]

whats a good channel to ask for help on unity installation issues

[rancid whale]

Insane bloat, and the worst built-in Third Person Controller ever

[mild radish]

maybe not graphically... but who knows where the next couple of years will take us

[rancid whale]

#💻┃unity-talk surely?

[viral hill]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[mild radish]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1202155978372423690

[worldly cave]

alright guys offtopic is over 😔

lets talk about unity exclusively again

[rancid whale]

Unity ... it scares me

[mild radish]

howso? 🤣

does anyone have some clever way to make ScriptTemplates be globally accessible?

[safe heron]

so does installation only work in the C drive? i dont have enough space in my c drive but i've been trying with my E: drive, my external harddrive

[mild radish]

instead of per editor? (without just dropping them into the project folder)

[rancid whale]

I can't seem to find a version that runs reliably ...

at least in the Editor

[worldly cave]

you can use other drives but i dont recommend using an external one.

[safe heron]

What about my D: drive? its internal

i just have no space on C:

[worldly cave]

you can use any drive so long as you have space for it

you CAN use external ones too but i wouldnt recommend it.

[balmy kettle]

even if you install to another drive like D: you do still need available storage space on C: as a lot of stuff is downloaded to it in the installation and launch process

[shadow heron]

I want to add a better jump for my player. Like when you press the space bar once the jump height is low but when you hold it the jump height is high. would I just do →

if(jumpbuttonwasperformed) → rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * normalJumpHeight, ForceMode.Impulse);
if(jumpbuttonwaspressed) → rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * smallJumpHeight, ForceMode.Impulse);

[mild radish]

besides the inspector/graphical glitches i find 6000 runs the best

[glass kraken]

hi,I'm trying to addd realistic textures to my game, and I see a lot of compônents, albedo, roughness, height, normal, ambient occlusion, do I need all them for the texture to look better? or the albedo is enough

[mild radish]

or the older 2022/21

[viral hill]

more is better, albedo on it's own is not enough

[mild radish]

not too bad on this one so far 👇

none of the graphical glitches ive seen on 58

[rancid whale]

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Like, the first time you Play in Editor, is always so laggy. Then subsequent times, at least double the FPS
And sometimes even then, it has to warm up for awhile and then it seems to run really stable.

Maybe it's a MacOS thing, idk. Every time I install a new version it seems to be worse. Slower. More funky

[mild radish]

it really does need to warm-up... tbh

first play (slower)
sequential play (faster)

same applies to the builds

it caches things that make it quicker

[rancid whale]

Yeah like. I noticed OnTriggerEnter especially seems to lag until the play mode "warms up"

[mild radish]

lol.. press play -> go make some coffee -> return and test

[rancid whale]

It's just driving me crazy. I can't remember any of this kind of stuff in Godot

Ran clean and no funk 🤷‍♂️

[mild radish]

😉 ezpz 🍋 squeezy

but can it do volumetric light-rays

[rancid whale]

Might switch to 2022 today and see. And 6.2

[frail gulch]

Update on this problem I’ve been having. I just did the reinstall and the same thing happened

[mild radish]

6.2 i heard really bad things about.. (but not recently)

i think they may have fixed alot of their securityflaw editors they pushed out soo quickly

[rancid whale]

Even going from 6000.58 to 6000.60 gave me issues

[mild radish]

that last editor after the securityflaw was bad.. (all of em)

[viral hill]

6.2 is a trash version. use a different version and try it again

[mild radish]

but i kinda get why.. they had to rush it out the door

[frail gulch]

I’m using 6.0

[mild radish]

6.000 is the best imo..

better than the older versions.. not jank as the new ones

[viral hill]

it says 6.2 in the ss

[frail gulch]

Oh

Well I’m using 6.0 now

[mild radish]

lies and slander!

[mild radish]

hell ya, thats the version i been using since it dropped

not too bad tbh..

havent noticed any of the Editor bugs that fill the console on first load

[viral hill]

try creating a new project. i assume it's already corrupted since you tried to open it with 6.2 originally

[frail gulch]

This is a new project

As was the one I opened in 6.2, they’ve all been new projects

[viral hill]

you only have 1 project, did you get rid of the other one?

[frail gulch]

Yee

[viral hill]

what template are you using?

[frail gulch]

Universal 2D

[viral hill]

i think i remember someone else having the same problem with that template as well. try creating a new proj with a different template

[frail gulch]

Alrighty one second

Trying out a universal3d…

Same issue

[viral hill]

you havent even given it time yet

it takes a few mins upon creation

[frail gulch]

The bar hasn’t even appeared yet

[viral hill]

that's normal

[frail gulch]

How long does it usually take you for the bar to appear in the first place because for me it’s like… seconds

I mean before all this

[viral hill]

i believe it depends on the template a lot. using a sample template is gonna take 30+ mins total as opposed to 2d. base 2d is also just requires more setup in general

i cant recall exactly how long it takes for me

[frail gulch]

To complete loading sure I could imagine that taking a while especially with a slower pc

[viral hill]

if 10 mins have passed and it hasnt worked, then you can just close it

[cyan geode]

hello

[frail gulch]

I mean for literally any green whatsoever to show up on that loading bar

[cyan geode]

i just installed unity

and idk what to do

[frail gulch]

Well what are your plans? Like do you wanna make a game or is something broken?

[viral hill]

just to make sure, you used this template, right?

[frail gulch]

Yee

[cyan geode]

watched 8 tutorials

and didnt understand a thing

[frail gulch]

You may need to call up a friend who knows about it to see if you can learn from them

[rancid whale]

Okay. Which tutorials? What are you looking to build?

it takes time. you have to learn how to use the engine first
