nothing else

😭

[frail gulch]

That’s kinda important

[cyan geode]

i know how to put terrain

now how do i make terrain

[safe heron]

is 70gb enough space for unity

[cyan geode]

i think so

[frail gulch]

Possibly depending on what you’re making but personally I’d just grab a 1TB drive on the internet for like 20$ or so and you’ll definitely have enough space for whatever you do

[safe heron]

is it okay if i download 6.0 instead of .2

[frail gulch]

It’s better

oh i have like half a TB on my other internal harddrive and another TB on my external

[copper gust]

Preferable actually

[frail gulch]

Am I allowed to say it’s not working yet?

[cyan geode]

i checked that terrian

[rancid whale]

@cyan geode Besides Unity Learn, which is considered to be a trustworthy source of knowledge, there are many creators online who make valuable guides
Always take info with a grain of salt. Could be wrong.
Like CodeMonkey who just, writes whatever code that appears to get the job done

[viral hill]

check the windows event viewer, maybe it's printing something notable

[cyan geode]

i checked that tut

but holy the plugin alone is 1.7 gbs

😭

[rancid whale]

Okay cool... Check another one

Well yeah. It's an excellent plugin

[cyan geode]

i mean unity is so interesting

[frail gulch]

I haven’t heard of that one before, sorry

[cyan geode]

i like it but idk where to start

[viral hill]

havent heard of what

[cyan geode]

i want to make 99 days in the forest but in unity

😭

would be so cool

[frail gulch]

The issue is that you think starting is having a finished product. You gotta start at the start, make small steps, do small things, and eventually you’ll have something good

[cyan geode]

i understand

[worldly cave]

quick question, if an fps game has melee mechanic which ones would you prefer

a. dedicated melee weapon
b. quick melee with the gun itself
c. quick melee that hides gun temporarily

🤔

[frail gulch]

Windows event viewer

[cyan geode]

read that!

[cyan geode]

dedicated melee

[mild radish]

b and c would be the same fundamentally

[frail gulch]

B or C. Usually having to switch to a dedicated melee weapon can be tedious and a lot of the time fps games are balanced with those melee weapons either being useless or one shots and that’s just… awkward sometimes

[worldly cave]

well no, by b i mean pistol whipping something and by c i mean having a seperate animation where you use a dedicated melee weapon kinda like the old cod ones

[rancid whale]

It's pretty interesting but it's also not rocket science.
Basically, the Unity Scene has GameObjects in it, and then in scripts you can manipulate them. That's it.
Activate them, deactivate them, change their position, change their rotation, etc.
Typically this is done by Update-ing things every frame. Update runs every frame.

Ask yourself what happens in video games. Stuff moves, stuff rotates, stuff animates. Stuff "shoots" stuff at other stuff. Sometimes you can pick up stuff and do things with it.

[frail gulch]

But gameplay wise they’re the same

[worldly cave]

yeah sure but

one is gonna be technically a lot faster

c. is going to have some kind of delay

for obvious reasons

[frail gulch]

That’s really up to you

[worldly cave]

yeah and thats where im stuck lol

i dont know what i want

[frail gulch]

Try both?

[worldly cave]

right now i have c implemented but i feel as if the weapon unequip + melee + weapon equip sequence is a bit too slow

[frail gulch]

You can always just artificially make it faster

[worldly cave]

yeah i can but theres some limitations

specifically with the animation

the melee animation needs dedicated wind up and wind down stages so the weapon unequip and equip animations can transition properly

[cyan geode]

thats very hard to process for the start xd

[worldly cave]

let me show you what i have so far.

[cyan geode]

but rly helpful thank u alott

[frail gulch]

I feel like you agree that B is better than C at this point but you’re nervous about switching so you’re asking for other people to validate the idea

Which is completely reasonable but… I’d say pick B because of that

[worldly cave]

well im not really nervous about switching, its a few minutes of work at most the general melee mechanics will be unchanged

but i was just asking to see what people in general prefer

i know games like siege for example do both

depending on what you are meleeing

[frail gulch]

Oh yeah you can always go for both

[frail gulch]

Btw does anyone have info on the windows event viewer? I don’t know what it is or how to access it

[stable spire]

i need help the prefab i got from booth.pw has missing monoscripts

[frail gulch]

I tried google, dick

[worldly cave]

we are going to need a lot more context

but it sounds to me like your prefab has some required components its missing

heres how i have it set up so far

[viral hill]

it's literally right there, stop being so dense

[stable spire]

yeah i want to use it for vtubing

[viral hill]

you dont need win 11. idk where you got that from

[frail gulch]

It says windows 11 on my end

[viral hill]

what does

[mild radish]

well try changing the search terms to Windows 10 🤪

[frail gulch]

I searched for it on the bottom bar, it sent me to edge instead of google

[worldly cave]

so do i stay with this or do i do the other one as well 🤔

i can do both but i have to leverage my time

[viral hill]

if you want feedback, use #1180170818983051344

[worldly cave]

fair but this was in context for a previous conversation we had here

[frail gulch]

Whatever I can find it now, idk why yall gotta go through so much trouble to make fun of people for asking questions ffs

[mild radish]

he sent an emoji reaction...

[viral hill]

you're being purposefully ignorant and stupid. that's different from just asking a question

[mild radish]

you reading way too hard into it mate

[frail gulch]

I searched it and couldn’t find it so I asked here

How does that make me ignorant and stupid???

[mild radish]

sounds like its resolved then.. move on

[viral hill]

if you had actually read the page after you searched it, you wouldnt have needed to ask a followup here, and then proceed to act entitled about it

[frail gulch]

I did read it omg

[viral hill]

clearly

[frail gulch]

Fuck you bro I’ve been trying to fix my shit for a week, took a small break and come back to the same problem I am so fucking tired

I do not need this crap

[rancid whale]

[frail gulch]

I don’t believe that i can fix the problem on my own so god forbid i ask more questions to make sure i don’t go the wrong way

[viral hill]

and i've been trying to help you this whole time. why do you think it's ok to waste my time with these stupid questions??

[frail gulch]

Because I don’t want to fuck up and waste more time

[mild radish]

ur the one escalating.. arguing w/ strangers on the internet 👀

[viral hill]

yeah, googling something is clearly a waste of time. have fun. im done here

[frail gulch]

That’s not what I said

I found this error on windows event viewer along with a couple more of the same type also from “application hang”

Everything in security says audit success so nothing bad there, but this thing I just found in System seems useful

[frail gulch]

Ok so I removed the user imposed limit and unity is still not running right. Could someone please tell me anything???

[full flint]

Only people who were reading the conversation over an hour ago actually know what the issue is

[frail gulch]

That’s reasonable I’ll reply to the main issue hold on

Nah I’ll just send the screenshot again.
Basically, every time I try to load up a unity project, it just refuses to load. I’ve reinstalled unity twice already and it hasn’t changed

[full flint]

I didn't recognize the problem, but my hunch is that you should reinstall the the hub, the editor and then create the project on a non-system directory
Meaning not to desktop or to any windows controlled users folder

But first you'd search on google for that exact "freeze on project creation" issue

[frail gulch]

So on one of my external drives or a usb?

I did but it’s one of those situations where everyone has a unique answer so idk which one exactly works for me and I just prefer to get assistance from people

I’m not confident at all that I can fix the problem alone without potentially making it worse

[full flint]

Non-system internal drive tends to be the best place for projects
But it can be a non-system directory on the system drive, so a folder you created
It can also be an external drive, but those can create a separate issue that also fails project creation the drive is not formatted the right way so it can be confusing

[full flint]

Unfortunately the best we can do is also provide random unique answers, as the issue doesn't present any specific clues

[frail gulch]

I dont think I have a non system internal drive but I did just realize that I’ve been trying to put the project on a USB

I have tried putting it on a local disk too tho and that similarly did not function properly

And admittedly I’d kinda prefer it on the USB, I like it there

[worldly cave]

i dont think its advisable to keep projects on external drives

other than backups

[frail gulch]

My reasoning is that I have a laptop and pc and I’d like to transfer my projects between them but admittedly it hasn’t worked a single time so I see your point

[potent geyser]

It's not advised even for backups.

Use version control

[frail gulch]

Should I just make a unity folder or something in local disk C or is there a place people usually put stuff?

[potent geyser]

You can put your projects wherever, they're just files.

[frail gulch]

I assumed so I just wanted to be sure

[potent moss]

do you people just use netcode for multiplayer stuffs or do you actually use an external plugin for it?

[near wigeon]

depends on the requirements of the project... netcode has everything you need to make multiplayer

[worldly cave]

i do both 🤫

just incase i never know when my pc can explode

[glass kraken]

hi, where did the "import new asset" go?

[potent geyser]

Using version control with gitlab or something means your computer can explode whenever it wants and you don't have to worry. There's no need to keep a local backup aside from the local working version of the repo.

[worldly cave]

i mean i do do version control

i have a github repo

but i also like having local back ups every now and then

specifically on external drives

[potent geyser]

Right

[worldly cave]

im not saying its nescessary but im also not going to justify my ocd to anyone

[turbid lantern]

I like when Copilot helps me with some "manual labor" code, but it annoys me to no end when it tries to code the whole fricking function for me.
Is there a way to tune down the suggestions instead of completely disable it?

[near wigeon]

probably ask somewhere where they care about AI coding

[turbid lantern]

I'll just disable it. The intelisense is more than enough.

[near wigeon]

intellicode you mean?

[worldly cave]

i tried using it once for more than 5 minutes but them choosing to have "tab" be the auto complete shortcut is actually insane lol it completely messes up with basic muscle memory that i stopped right after and never looked back

[near wigeon]

intellisense is wat shows the variables and functions in a box.
intellicode is "smart " autocomplete

[turbid lantern]

Yeah, intellicode.

[near wigeon]

yea intellicode aint as bad..or opinionated

[turbid lantern]

Like, I really like it when it automatically creates a 2D for loop for me. Intellicode can't do that I believe.

Wait, wasn't there a way to create custom code generation?

[near wigeon]

just create your own snippets.. it aint hard..

[turbid lantern]

Yes, that.

I had forgot the name of it. Thank you.

[marble fiber]

Intellicode is really good for Unity, it helps a lot

I recommend it

it saves so much time, and it helps you with syntaxing

[jade orbit]

Do i have to make animation clips for each direction when using a blend tree if im tryin to use a sprite for 360 directions? Is there anyway i could just plug in the sprite?

[tender thicket]

wdym by 360 directions? also #🏃┃animation <- reply here

[jade orbit]

Thank you ill ask in there

[fallen bolt]

what should i do? Im brand new to unity btw

[near wigeon]

purple means shader error

[safe heron]

i feel like these unity tutorials are a bit too specific for their game but i wanna just do the simple stuff without having to make a whole game i dont wanna make

like getting my character to move

[still stone]

Then only do that part of the tutorial

[fallen bolt]

How can I fix it?

[hollow marten]

Hello does anyone know how to fix this error?

[fallen bolt]

Is that your music?

[hollow marten]

It's my teammates

[fallen bolt]

he needs to give you permission from the settings i think

[hollow marten]

The project settings?

[fallen bolt]

idk

[hollow marten]

Right now he is the one trying to check in the changes, and I have assigned him a seat in the repository

[viral hill]

Ohh, okay

I know its exploits but what can people/hackers do without these fixes?

[edgy silo]

Sorry, quick question (newbie, doing one of the intro to unity courses)
I can't get the Scene Gizmo to appear. Everything on the internet says there should be an option to enable it in the top right of the scene view. Anyone kow what's up?

[viral hill]

press ` and enable the overlay required

[edgy silo]

That did it, thank you :D

[fair cove]

This link should give you a good idea on what the exploit is: https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01 - then the links in the announcements should help you prevent that exploit, though AFAIK, many popular platforms have already taken security measures on their end to detect games that have not patched

[hard relic]

Okay, thanks

[plush sigil]

wheres the helpchannel if there is one for some reason collab enabled and i cant see shit in the inspector and its driving me insane.

my unity versions corrupted after trying to install

2019

and now i feel insane.

[slow dirge]

What throws that error?
What does the inspector and collab has to do with that error?? Also, unity 2019 is long out of support.

[plush sigil]

i got it, found out how to disable collaborater mode and also just decided to obliterate it from the meta deta in the editor.

[tepid narwhal]

open the package manager and get rid of the deprecated packages, or ignore it (dismiss). it is most likely the rider package

@near wigeon my question was about if it's was "shrink wrapped" in a way (see images)

uhh no clue what that means (in the context of what i said). is it impossible to have all that on drive C or smth?

i have 6 physical hard drives in the computer. c: is only one of them. lettering does not have to be linear, if you manually assign a letter. P is for Production

[storm patio]

ahhh

[latent meadow]

restarting the project cleared the error, and rider package is uninstalled

[sand kraken]

Hi all, not sure where to send this here so I apologize if this is the wrong place. I've recently picked up Unity 6 for the first time and I have a very small project at the moment with just a few asset packs imported. After making a code change, it takes roughly 50 seconds before my Unity editor is responsive again. Does anyone know how to reduce that?

[latent meadow]

might want to talk to #💻┃code-beginner , maybe something about assembly definitions? (i am not a programmer)

[sand kraken]

I didn't think it would be related to my actual code, is that a possibility? I only have a few files so I didn't think it would be haha.

[latent meadow]

you said asset packs.. perhaps they have included code?

[sand kraken]

They're just models

[latent meadow]

Then i do not know. this is all assuming you have a moderate computer

[sand kraken]

Yeah I have a 24 thread processor lol

The only intense code assets I have installed are PurrNet and ParallelSync, but I don't assume either of those would slow it down to this insane degree

[slow dirge]

You could start by looking at the editor logs around domain reload. They should contain timings of different steps during the reload.

i can easily imagine parrelsync causing significant delays, as it duplicates everything, iirc

ummmm hello guys, can somebody explain to me why, how, and why again?

[near wigeon]

ohh i got the image from google.. normally it looks like the right side on mesh collider -> convex

[fading shadow]

no but really how do i fix this

[near wigeon]

if people have an answer they do it, no reason to bump a question from 2 min ago

[slow dirge]

Start by looking at the frame debugger to see where the issue appears.

[fading shadow]

alr

[slow dirge]

Also, probably better to create a thread in #1390346776804069396

[fading shadow]

oh i didn't find it thanks

[sand kraken]

Deleted my clones on parallelsync and it still took about 50 seconds, doesn't seem to be that

[latent meadow]

i Really have no idea then. you can try deleting the Library and letting it rebuild, but i am just throwing things at the wall at this point

[near wigeon]

not even a need for parallelsync these days with the new network play mode

[sand kraken]

network play mode?

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.multiplayer.playmode@2.0/manual/index.html

oh "multiplayer game mode"

it stays all in 1 unity and just makes multiple windows for each player

[sand kraken]

does this only work with unity netcode?

or other network libs too?

[near wigeon]

oh not sure, probably

[sand kraken]

Also update on my situation, I restarted Unity and now it takes 5 seconds to reload..

My editor.log file was nearly a gigabyte lol

I deleted that as well, not sure how Unity interacts with that but maybe that could have contributed

[near wigeon]

if your project becomes sluggish sometimes is best to delete library and rebuild it

[sand kraken]

Why would deleting the cache help?

Does old stuff get stuck in there?

[near wigeon]

it can build up yes

[sand kraken]

Good to know

[upper tide]

quick question; what exactly is a prefab? I used google and didn't understand it. Is it a file type or something because I was told that when moving stuff from the hierarchy to the project window, it gets converted into a prefab

[sand kraken]

WOW this works amazing, much better than parallelsync

[near wigeon]

it works with other networking ?

[sand kraken]

You just tick another player on and it pops up just a game window, no heavy editor

Yeah works with PurrNet at least

[near wigeon]

oh yeah thats what I liked about it

not clones taking up unecessary spaces and folders

[latent meadow]

it is best to start at the start. do the Essentials Pathway on the learning site, then the other Pathways

[near wigeon]

wdym lol

[upper tide]

I am not blind following any of this like I used to do years ago btw

[latent meadow]

Ok.. so you are using Prefabs.. what is the particular point you have a question about?

[upper tide]

the part where they say that moving the object from hierarchy to the project window converts it to a prefab, I dont get what prefab is supposed to be? A file type?

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/Prefabs.html

[storm patio]

is "hull" a specific thing that's not the same as a convex mesh?

[sand kraken]

I'm fairly novice to Unity as well, so this won't be the best explanation, but should get you started. Think of a prefab like a configured collection of assets / scripts. For instance, if I drag out a model into my scene, then I add a script to it, I've created a unique entity with a unique set of scripts and configurations. Creating a prefab from that item is like saving all those settings into a single item you can duplicate, being the prefab. This is why its really useful for Players. You configure one player, make a prefab of it, then you can spawn identical players with the same configuration multiple times easily with that prefab.

[storm patio]

like what's the difference between the bottom left and bottom right in the original image

[upper tide]

ohhh so I think I get it; it is a single file that stores everything I need to know about the object

rite?

[sand kraken]

Not necessarily everything you need to know, more like everything you've created / configured

[upper tide]

well like components and size etc

[storm patio]

it's basically a gameobject saved as an asset

[sand kraken]

Yeah exactly

[near wigeon]

i guess its showing that convex mesh collider use hull collision type

[upper tide]

ah i c thanks👍

[latent meadow]

well, it is a file type, but basically, it is a container. it holds a specific configuration of multiple components that you can use and reuse, and make variants of.
Dragging it to the Project from Hierarchy is just a shortcut to make one from the active collection/object

Ah, i got beat to the answer 😄

@upper tide also, it is one of the more difficult things to wrap your brain around at first in Unity. Almost just best to say 'it is what it is' at first

[near wigeon]

I don't think the thumbnail was specific to unity , Idk the bottom part does in that image, but in unity how you drew the second image though would look like the bottom , is just the convex part that gets that "hull" thing @storm patio

[tepid narwhal]

are we good?

my connection is very laggy

[upper tide]

dawg I know man😭 I have been trying to learn this for like 9 years now I think

[still stone]

I have a perfect tutorial for that

[upper tide]

I am rn doing the normal unity tutorial

[still stone]

If you can, Packt has some amazing tutorials on Unity and one on them teaches you how to make your own prefab file from scratch eliminating unity version

[latent meadow]

as long as it is not something you have monetized, or using for self promotion, you could link it here or in #1179447338188673034 as long as it is free

bah.

[still stone]

I don't monetize any tutorials, education should be free

[upper tide]

a third party prefab maker sounds nice

ig more customization

[near wigeon]

teaches you how to make your own prefab file from scratch eliminating unity version
why would one do that

[still stone]

I can rewrite what they do and put it into other terms that may help you

[still stone]

To understand how it works etc understanding the principle behind something can help you better use it in the future

[latent meadow]

a prefab is a yaml file at the end of the day. knowing this does not help me understand prefabs too much better.

[near wigeon]

there isn't anything mysterious about a prefab

the principles are simple : a template to what an instance of an object will be

[copper gust]

It’s like making the original version of a barbie doll that will be mass produced and sold in stores

the difficult thing, imo, is understanding why changing this prefab affects that(a) prefab, while not that(b) prefab even though they are the same base.
the propagation of the changes is the more difficult aspect, after you understand that it is just a collection of organized/structured components. Oh, and then retro changes.. applying the changes you made in a variant prefab back to the original

unless i have missed a magic tutorial, Unity themselves could be Much clearer on Prefabs.

[near wigeon]

your own prefab file from scratch
sounds like too much potential to go wrong without any real benefit

[upper tide]

yo how do I increase the speed of my panning?

[near wigeon]

make number go up

[upper tide]

which one

there are a lotta numbers

[near wigeon]

well maybe show what you are seeing cause we're not mind readers?

[upper tide]

wdym? Yk the camera panning? I just want to increase the sensitivity kinda

[near wigeon]

the scene camera?

couldve been more specific.. you see cause I thought you were talking about cinemachine

[upper tide]

like that was a lotta work just to pan it

[upper tide]

ow idk what that is lol

[still stone]

Just checked the prefab creation stuff I have. Its 3 videos each less than 20min

[upper tide]

ima look at that when I am done with this starter tutorial 👍

[near wigeon]

try holding shift

or try focusing on another object by selecting it and press F

iirc its relative to that

[upper tide]

makes it a lot better but how do I just toggle levels of sensitivity?

[latent meadow]

how are you panning? mine turns into a hand when i hold middle mouse button to pan

[near wigeon]

you cant really change that but if you focus far out enough it should be no issue

[upper tide]

I could use q or just middle mouse click but they pan the same

[near wigeon]

you can also hold shift and use arrow keys

or maybe not, i forget rn its late lol

[upper tide]

yea arrow keys are kind of a pain because they pan hella slow

[latent meadow]

as mentioned, focus on something, then try again. pick an object in the scene and press F. then try panning after that

[upper tide]

focus fixedd it btw

now it does pan normally

[upper tide]

I don't get why this is not changing the mass of the rest of these (duplicates of the same prefab) to 0.1

is it just supposed to mean that each gameobject gets 1x the mass OF the prefab and the prefab itself has 0.1x the mass of the cube in unity?

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #⚛️┃physics room, so you know

[heady gorge]

i need... helps

i think someone said there was a fix by changing preference fonts or something to system font but i cant remember where i saw that so uh

i also unfortunately cannot go to another version im a bit too far in this one

oh wait i think i found it we shall see

for some inexplicable reason it worked
going to edit > preferences > general > editor font > system font, fixed the error

[latent meadow]

what version of Unity?

[heady gorge]

6000.2.6f2

[latent meadow]

ok, thanks

[heady gorge]

FINALLY
i can now see that my script was actually just not doing its job at all whatsoever

it was just adding nothing to a list but it seems that was an editor issue with not properly assigning things

we are now 50% through an inventory system and now i can only pray i dont break it further

[jovial ingot]

Alright, thanks for the info

[ancient flume]

Unsure if this is the right channel to ask but-
Do y'all know any games with this kind of graphics? This kind of pixelated, low poly retro look but with a touch of modern, as if the style is intentional, not a product of hardware limitation like in the case with actually old games

[latent meadow]

this is not the right sever for these kinds of questions. this is a Unity dev server. question must relate directly to Unity.

[ancient flume]

I'm sorry, I thought Unity is a piece of software that you can make games with.. so, you know.. you can ask for game related stuff..?
I'm not asking because I'm looking for games to play, I'm asking because I need more inspiration of this art style

[latent meadow]

"How can i make this effect in Unity" is a Unity related question. "anyone know games that look like this" is not. this effect can be done with post processing, to a degree.

they are both initially using lower poly models

[ancient flume]

That's.. quite vague

[latent meadow]

do you know how to use Unity?

[ancient flume]

Are you intentionally trying to be a pain?

[regal wren]

megabonk most popular one rn

[latent meadow]

as much as you are.
WHICH part is vague.. do you not know what post processing is, or do you not know what low poly means?

there are assets that can help you in the Unity Asset Store

[ancient flume]

It's clearly way more to it than just 'uhh just a bit of post processing and some low poly models and you're set'
There's a reason why most low poly games look bad, hence why I asked if anyone knows games that do it right, so I can look at what they do right

[latent meadow]

there is also a dedicated #1390346776804069396 room

[ancient flume]

Solid suggestion, though I think their style is a bit.. too simple?

Make this guy a moderator 🙏

[slow dirge]

Kinda looks like simulating PSX style graphics. I think there's an open source PSX render pipeline for unity. Might want to Google that.
Assets play a big part of it as well, intentionally low res textures and such.

[ancient flume]

Now that's finally some good stuff
I just wish there were more examples with non-twitchy renders, but at least I've got a starting point now
Thank you!

[slow dirge]

Twitchy renderers are exactly what that custom render pipeline is adding, since it's meant to simulate the Playstation one era graphics.

If you don't need that, then just assets and post processing would do, as you've been suggested earlier.

[ancient flume]

Unfortunately the images I shared don't quite show the.. my vision
I want to bring a modern touch to these old graphics. Good lighting, reflections, smoothness, etc etc
Not just classic old graphics
And I think I'd like some twitchiness, but maybe only on moving elements instead of everything, if it makes sense

I'll have to keep looking

well, that makes a bit more sense, but the lack of people in this room that have any interest in Unity stock prices make it almost off-topic. i highly doubt you will find anyone engaging you about it, and i even think that it has been mentioned to you before by a moderator, that this is probably not worth posting here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/s/UPtoYE2ROc

Found this today. Tl;dr someone found a way to reset n amount of 3d rotations in less than n steps instead of n steps. I wonder if this will significantly impact some shaders or other game performance related stuff.

[narrow mortar]

where should i ask about fog effects? because im toying around with the lighting settings, and while it looks nice for the game camera, seeing it in the scene editor just gaslit me into thinking i lost all my assignments progress

[mild radish]

eh what u mean by that last sentence?

[pearl oyster]

No, because I can't think of a situation where you would need to reverse all individual rotations done to an object to reset its rotation. If you need to do that you can just store the original rotation and go back to that instantly. That's exactly 1 step to reset it every time regardless of how many rotations have been applied to it

[latent meadow]

#1390346776804069396

[abstract ocean]

Yeah figured as much, altho I had faith there are some niche cases where this would be useful

[lunar drift]

Android or apple?

[mild radish]

the only rotational issue's ive ever had is a rotation snapping back via its closest rotation..
but theres various methods u can use to make it rotate back the way it came

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but- I uploaded a unity windows build to itch.io. At first it seemed that others were able to play it normally. However, one person said that it gave an error stopping them from playing. I tried to download it myself, but I also received the same error:
"The code execution cannot proceed because UnityPlayer.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

[latent meadow]

Did you use the latest patched version of Unity, or did you at least use the patcher to fix the security issue with your built game? if not, there is a chance that itch removed UnityPlayer.dll due to the security issue

[vivid cedar]

That sounds like you didn't upload the entire build folder

Oh that's also possible

[royal wing]

I updated my unity version, opened it in the updated version, and then built a new build. And then I uploaded it to itch.io! My biggest confusion is that I did not touch the itch.io file in any way afterwards and some people were still able to play while others weren't!

If it helps, microsoft seems to be flagging my game as a possible security risk. ("PLACEHOLDER.exe isn't commonly downloaded make sure you trust PLACEHOLDER.exe before you open it.")

[abstract ocean]

Microsoft flags everything as a security risk

[latent meadow]

MS flagging it is normal. your game is not signed, i'd wager, and it certainly does not have millions of downloads

[royal wing]

Yeah, but I'm not sure what to do since the uploads have already been locked as it was part of a game jam...

[storm patio]

you'll probably have to contact the organizers

also consider the patch tool to avoid making a whole new build (in the context of the game jam)

[balmy kettle]

this sounds like it's just smart screen blocking it, which means anyone who wants to run it should select the Run Anyway option

[royal wing]

I think I just didn't upload a proper zip file. But I don't know how someone played the game before, if that's the case... I'll just contact the organizers. Thanks for your help guys!

in which part of the forum would i want to seek people who are tutoring/teaching unity one on one? or is there another discord any one recommends i join? i would appreciate any dm's.

IDK the proper term to search for, but generally, i just go to the google free fonts database and one by one look at them. I am sure a typographer would have better advice 😄

[stable perch]

Yes

[lusty bone]

for rendering game sir like i made game like silksong

[mild radish]

https://fontspy.com/ oh i found this website too if anyone interesting in hunting fonts..

they have quite the selection of 100percent free fonts

[storm patio]

i believe that's a different property.. i guess it could affect the thing you're going for though

[mild radish]

ya, thats what i thought too.. but its the best term i have for now 😭

[storm patio]

i googled for "anatomy of font", and none of the images i found described this property

so probably it isn't a formalized or common thing

hey

I am not sure what's the right place to ask this but I've been going through the unity pathway tutorials and I am stuck at the 'User Interface' section because a lot of the videos don't seem to buffer for me, I can't tell if it's a problem on my end as they seem to work at times randomly but rarely https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer/unit/user-interface/tutorial/lesson-5-1-clicky-mouse-1?version=6.0

screw it. its about time i figure out how to make my own fonts lol

anyone know of any ~~ good~~ free font creation programs?
or any recommendations?

[latent meadow]

FontForge (free, open source, local). i mostly used it for editing fonts, but AFAIK, you can do full creation of new fonts in it

are you using EventSystem? you can use it for 3D. then you can do OnPointerEnter and OnPointerExit implementations, and everything becomes easier. there is also a "hover stack" you can query for each pointer

oh ok

thanks for clarification

[viral hill]

why would i mean that

[primal wraith]

also, i am determined of this project, but for you guys which are advanced developers, how hard is it to do

[primal wraith]

looks like ++ fused together

the hashtag

[viral hill]

also, wdym by " make a switch port of dark souls 2"?

[proud burrow]

Oh

[viral hill]

are you trying get ds2 onto the switch?

or make a mod?

[gusty abyss]

Why does my gpu keep running out of memory randomly and crashing my editor? What could it be due to?

[primal wraith]

yes this one

[viral hill]

why would you need unity for that

[potent geyser]

That game isn't made in Unity, and this topic is not appropriate for this server.

[viral hill]

idk if unity would even help you do that

[primal wraith]

what should i use then?

[viral hill]

what editor version are you on? also check the logs

[viral hill]

6.2 is trash, dont use it

[gusty abyss]

you think its due to the version?

[viral hill]

yes

[gusty abyss]

So what do i do then

do i just update to a newer one or

[viral hill]

no, downgrade

[rancid whale]

No we're suggesting to go back to 6.0

[gusty abyss]

can it break my project?

[rancid whale]

Yeah

[viral hill]

yeah, make a backup

[rancid whale]

Backup, for sure

[gusty abyss]

wait i already have like a github repository, is it necessary if I have that?

[rancid whale]

Then, that is a backup copy

[gusty abyss]

kk

[charred fog]

You might want to upgrade first, there were two minor versions since then. Upgrading is easier.

And do have an updated repository to roll back

[gusty abyss]

Hold on do I upgrade or downgrade? I'm confused

[charred fog]

if you do go backwards.

[gusty abyss]

what do i do backwards

[rancid whale]

yes, there is 6000.2.8f1
Simply, install a different editor version, and open it with that

[smoky delta]

meh, upgraded my main project when was very first news about leaking. Not good expirience

[charred fog]

@smoky delta No memes, please

[gusty abyss]

is the leaking fixed in newest version?

[rancid whale]

personally i keep everything in the Assets folder, so when i wanna try a different Unity version i just drag & drop ...

Scenes, configurations, everything. In one shot, perfectly replicated

[rancid whale]

You can look into the patch notes, maybe it's fixed there. I haven't had any issue with 6.2, seems to stutter less than 6.0

[stiff quest]

doesnt exporting project do the same thing

[gusty abyss]

Idk for me it crashes sometimes, like in some play tests its fine but sometimes after about 30 seconds it happens. I have no clue if it's due to my code or the version

[charred fog]

immediate f2 versions after vulnerability discovery might have been rushed, try the latest first

[gusty abyss]

alr

[rancid whale]

Sure yeah. But.. i can just drag & drop the folder too lol. And I don't depend on that feature not being bugged.

[stiff quest]

oh

[potent moss]

👍

[nocturne remnant]

Hey, any experienced dev on? I wanted to dm and ask about a thing.
Its about game dev as a career.

I am kind of feeling down and unsure.

[charred fog]

@nocturne remnant You can start a thread in #1157336089242112090, this would be off-topic here.

[marble quarry]

I’m having troubling downloading a new unity version today from the archive through the hub

Is AWS effecting this or is it probably just something on my end?

[stuck flower]

Nothing. You won't be doing this. Give up on wanting it to happen.

[dapper topaz]

Yo

[primal wraith]

i wont

[cobalt sequoia]

guys i have a non looping animation how do i restart it on command?

[dapper topaz]

[cobalt sequoia]

i used animator.Play and it didnt work

is that your cat?

[dapper topaz]

No

[cobalt sequoia]

looks goofy

[stuck flower]

Re-enter the Animator State

[cobalt sequoia]

uuuuuh and how do i do that?

[stuck flower]

What's the condition you've set to enter it?

[cobalt sequoia]

whats a condition, in all my previous projects i just used animator.Play and its in 2d with sprite animation

[stuck flower]

You should actually use the Animator Controller.
https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/animator-controllers

[cobalt sequoia]

seems scary

[potent moss]

why are we posting cats here

[cobalt sequoia]

why you have a heinz lava lamp?

[potent geyser]

There's no off topic here, thanks.

[potent moss]

wow

[cobalt sequoia]

mr fun hater over here

deleting funny cat pics

ok im gonna ask catgpt

[stuck flower]

This isn't a social server. If you want to look at cat pictures go to literally any other website

[cobalt sequoia]

this person has cat picture no one in the world has ever seen

[potent geyser]

Again, keep this server on topic, thanks.

[cobalt sequoia]

ok

[near wigeon]

hmm there's a new channel huh ?
#🆘┃troubleshooting

[balmy kettle]

part of the anniversary-jam category (which is also all new channels)

[near wigeon]

oh nice, any ideas when it will start ?

oh nvm I found the channel

[distant nimbus]

Working on a click and drag object interaction system somewhat similar to tabletop simulator's

working out the exact functionality

When I have a held object, I need the hold point to hover over the table, in line with the raycast from the camera

How do I "walk back" along the ray? I think to get it to feel right, I need to get the point where the cursor ray cast hits the table, then walk it backward until the dice hovers the correct number of units above the table

[gentle heron]

i have an "issue" with my 3d animations. i have a book that opens when im interacting with it and when i stop, it closes again. i made it by just make a close animation in the animator and reverse the opening anim. now the issue is that everytime i close the book while it is still in the opening animation, the keyframes jump to the end and close from there. is it possible to set up the animation transition to close from wherever i am currently in the opening anim?

[rancid otter]

arrows have disappeared for animator transitions. any way to enable them?

[distant nimbus]

I know very little about animation so take this with a grain of salt;

instead of making a close animation, could you not use the same animation as the open and just start playing it in reverse?

I believe playback direction, or progress through the animation, something like that can be set in code

failing that, get the progress through the opening animation, and start the close animation at the inverse number of percent complete

So if the open stops at 10%, start the close at 90%

[stiff quest]

Close animator tab and add animator tab again

[dreamy snow]

why unity triangulates my models faces ?

[worldly cave]

pretty sure you just have to make the opening animation interuptable

[modest meteor]

because game engines must have triangulated models

[worldly cave]

and also set its transition duration from opening to closing very short

[worldly cave]

game engines use tris for everything

hell even blender uses tris for everything it just shows it to you as quads so its easier to work with

[violet thunder]

Is that an issue?

[worldly cave]

its just the nature of computer graphics.

the polygon is the simplest 2d shape

[dreamy snow]

well yeah it kinda is .. it looks like this

[worldly cave]

dont think thats anything to do with triangulation

[dreamy snow]

instead of this

it is

[worldly cave]

to me that just looks like an issue with shading

[distant nimbus]

in that case, it's a topology issue that unity is exposing, not a problem with unity

[worldly cave]

it doesnt even look good in your blender (?) screenshot lol

[worldly cave]

triangulation wont really affect it.

[dreamy snow]

well in blender there is no lights nothing

[worldly cave]

yeah because its 2 different engines

it cant look 1:1 in the blender viewport and a scene view in unity

[violet thunder]

You can always use a triangulation modifier on blender's side, if that's what youre using

[worldly cave]

check that your normals arent flipped to start

[dreamy snow]

theyr not

[modest meteor]

do you have a normal map on this?

[violet thunder]

But yeah doesn't seem like a triangulation issue. Do you have this checked?

[dreamy snow]

nop

[worldly cave]

yeah it does look like a smoothing issue as well

even in blender

that crease in the arm shouldnt be happening

it should be a smoother transition, check to see if your using auto smooth shading

[distant nimbus]

check to see if any of your edges are unconnected, I've had issues like that

it looks smooth and fine but technically one edge is actually two connected edges, each one connected to two overlapping vertices

[worldly cave]

and also make sure your faces are flat, if you manually adjusted vertices you can sometimes make certain faces convex/concave

theres a lot of possible issues here but i assure you about 0 of them have to do with triangulation

[dreamy snow]

thx will see

[gentle heron]

what do i have to set as interruption source?

[worldly cave]

@gentle herondo you have a direct transition between your close and open animation?

[dreamy snow]

which blender is that ?

[worldly cave]

and vice versa

[worldly cave]

looks like standard 4.x

[gentle heron]

i have idle -> open -> close (reverse open) -> idle

[worldly cave]

and you have no transition between close and open?

[violet thunder]

Oh that was 2.93, lemme see where it is in 4.5

[worldly cave]

just open and close

take a pic of your animator

it will make it easier

[worldly cave]

2.9? 🤔

[dreamy snow]

thers no sutch option on 4.3.2

[worldly cave]

add a transition from close to open as well

[dreamy snow]

and my modle uses SmoothShading

is that an issue ? i figured a lot of models do that

[worldly cave]

its not, you want to use smooth shading or auto smooth if need be

[gentle heron]

done

[violet thunder]

Yeah, I didn't feel a need to update, altho i recently moved to most recent LTS

[gentle heron]

but what do i set as interruption source now?

[worldly cave]

next state i think?

wait your issue is that when the book is in the middle of the open animation, when you close it it doesnt actually transition smoothly into closing but rather closes it instantly?

[dreamy snow]

well im no expert modeler whats hte difference betwean auto smooth and smooth ? 😄

[violet thunder]

Seems like It's a modifier now:

[dreamy snow]

in that case im not using it thers no modifiers on the model

[worldly cave]

auto smooth simply smooths or doesnt smooth faces based on the angle between them

the angle you choose

[violet thunder]

Select all verts and merge by distance

Maybe it has overlapping verts

[dreamy snow]

i think i did that allready once , i thoguth the same

myeah merged 0

[worldly cave]

try manually adjusting the edges in blender until the crease dissappears

[dreamy snow]

which crease are u talking about ?

[gentle heron]

no my "issue" (not really an issue its just a setup problem and idk how to do it) is that, imagine u are moving a cube from a to b. if u revert the movement by playing the animation in negative speed, it starts from the finished position. but i want the animation to revert from current state

idk if u understand now haha

[violet thunder]

This one i presume

[worldly cave]

well if its just one animation thats flipped for close and open you can just use that one animation and control its speed with a parameter

[dreamy snow]

problem was these things which as per me seems that are coming form the triangulated faces "D

[worldly cave]

negative speed will just reverse it

[worldly cave]

the model as far as we can see does also have a lot of other problems which may or may not be related to these ones

its nothing to do with triangulation

i think you need to adjust the angle of the smooth shading

do you have any modifiers on the mesh in blender?

[dreamy snow]

did not evne know you can adjust it when you click auto smooth 😄

no there are 0 modifiers

[worldly cave]

you can also use a blend tree for this

[gentle heron]

how do i set that up. it confuses me a bit 💀

[worldly cave]

In the animator:

use a single state with the open animation
set the speed parameter to your float parameter
the animation will smoothly reverse from wherever it currently is

then you can do something like
animator.SetFloat("BookSpeed", BookisOpening ? 1f : -1f);

or you can use a blend tree

[gentle heron]

i will also need an idle anim state right?

thats what confuses me

[dreamy snow]

and that is a sharp edge tho to bring out sholderl ine 😄

[violet thunder]

Ah so that one's intentional

[gentle heron]

i have the book straight closed when nobody is interacting. when somebody uses it i have to set it to open

and vice versa

[worldly cave]

i understand you perfectly fine

thats why i gave you 2 solutions

[dreamy snow]

yeah

[violet thunder]

You can try changing your normals import settings on the unity side

[worldly cave]

use the speed control approach or use blend trees

[dreamy snow]

did that allready nothing changes its basicaly the same whatever u click there

i guess i need to check different unity version .. 😄

thx for help tho

tho i also see the same problem with other assets that are imported from asset store.. like decent quality ones

[gentle heron]

aight ty. idk how blend trees work yet. will look into it 👌

[hushed hamlet]

I'd check that the normals are reset/recalculated and make sure that polgygon with the odd face lighting doesn't have overlapping vertices on that corner

[dreamy snow]

and in theyr scrrenshots from unity they dont look like that ..

[azure grove]

why not just manually set your sharp edges and start with it all smooth

[dreamy snow]

am i merged all vertices by distance there ware 0

[dreamy snow]

i allready did set them manualy

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah if you've double checked there are no mystery faces, I'd suggest resetting / recalculating the normals

[dreamy snow]

oke will try that

[azure grove]

ah if thats the case i would assume either overlapping verts or face or extra smoothing data is in blender

[hushed hamlet]

yeah thats what I was thinking too

[azure grove]

the Geometry Data dropdown has a spot for custom split normal data

[dreamy snow]

how cna there be extra smoothing data ?

[hushed hamlet]

The only spot it seems off to me is here

[azure grove]

you can clear it

[upper tide]

yo what is this for? because I am using the normal view controls (left click + alt, rightclick) and nothing happens

[dreamy snow]

wel yeah its where the quad got triangulated by engine i guess

[violet thunder]

If you want to rule that out, add a Triangulate modifier in blender

[azure grove]

what modifers are on it during export, and is export setup to apply modifers

[dreamy snow]

so whats the default smootihng angle ?

[dreamy snow]

0 modifiers

[hushed hamlet]

You can also (in blender) turn on face-normals. It'll show you a little arrow of where it calculated the faces forward, and you can see in Blender if its misbehaving. As a precation you can also set it to triangulate mesh before exporting and not let Unity handle the quad to tri

[azure grove]

could try adding a edge split modifer

turn off edge angle and make it use only sharp edges

[dreamy snow]

damn so muthc info 😄 i cant even grasp it all .. im to noob in blender

thanks boysz

will try to see to it tomorrow

[azure grove]

things should just work, but this modifer was the old way ot bring split normals over to engine

and can still be useful at times to get more control

[hushed hamlet]

And this is how you can quickly (in blender) verify if the normals are being weird. Can happen after merging verts and stuff.

If it's pointing anywhere BUT away from the face, it's probably an accident 😄

[azure grove]

would want to show the middle one actually

which will show both all normals for split ones

face will mostly just confirm if your mesh is inside out or not

[dreamy snow]

thank you will try tomorrow :)(

face orentation doe the same no ?

if its red its looking inside

[azure grove]

no its just showing which way the various types of normals are facing

case see here because i marked the edge sharp, each of those verts gets too normals

[broken seal]

does anyone have a mb lowering tool?

[stuck flower]

The delete key

[broken seal]

no a tool not a key

[balmy kettle]

what is a "mb" in this context?

[broken seal]

oh, I recall you guys arent aware of vrchat avatar creations?

mb is megabytes

I'm just trying to find a tool for it but it seems no one knows what it is

[broken seal]

ah okay thank you

[viral hill]

but yeah you'll have to ask their server

[balmy kettle]

but yes, if you want to "lower" the "mb" then you need to delete things or use better compression

ok thanks

[near wigeon]

#🏆┃daily-win

[tardy pollen]

Ahaha, thank you! Don't know the channels here yet :))

[worldly cave]

no better feeling than that trello list getting emptied out

too bad for every one thing i complete i add 20 more to do

[distant nimbus]

so if I have a class, for simplicity going to call it Base : Monobehavior, that I give a custom onClick function

how do I structure it so that Base has code that applies to all objects, and VariantA : Base and VariantB : Base can both have unique code in that same function?

[worldly cave]

i guess your base class function would need to be virtual

[distant nimbus]

like, for example, if all objects with Base need to make a click sound when OnClick() runs, but VariantA needs to change a material and VariantB needs to apply a rotation

[worldly cave]

so keep the base class onclick a virtual one and add override functions to the variant classes

[worldly cave]

mark the function as virtual in base then use override in variant A and variant B and call base OnClick() wherever you want the shared base code to run

i think

[near wigeon]

You can use virtual and override yes

you can also use a Interface if you dont need to be locked in inheritance

[worldly cave]

but interfaces cant have shared code so youd still need a base class with the common logic no? 🤔

[near wigeon]

interfaces themselves dont have code yeah, depends what you're doing in the base class besides common method.
if you only need objects with a common method with different implementation, interface can work too

[distant nimbus]

{
    public void virtual OnClick()
    {
        //the thing all Base objects need to do
        Thing1();
    } 
}

public class VariantA : Base
{
    public void override OnClick()
    {
        //the thing only variant A needs to do
        Thing2();
    } 
}


//result, both Thing1() and Thing2() run when a VariantA object's OnClick() is called```

[near wigeon]

you need to call .base if you want both to run

[worldly cave]

no only thing2 runs because you didnt call base onclick so it completely replaces the base version instead of adding to it, try it

it wont work

[distant nimbus]

so call VariantA.Base.OnClick();?

[near wigeon]

just base.OnClick();

[distant nimbus]

ah, yeah that's what I meant, I was typing that assuming I was referencing it from another script as a reference to VariantA

Thank you! That should work great for what I need

[gloomy oriole]

[fresh magnet]

Ah ok

Thanks for telling me

[worldly cave]

im not arguing with that but theres situations where using them is pointles

[elder vessel]

I was wondering if anyone has a way of setting up a Wheel controller and force feedback or have any assets that I can use to get it to work with different types of wheels

[near wigeon]

they are meant to be tools to promote a bit of self-reliance.. something many lack..

[worldly cave]

i think you might be overestimating the effect it would have on people with not so much self reliance

[near wigeon]

spoon feeding someone isn't gonna do them any good 🤷‍♂️

[worldly cave]

i mean someone asking where they can ask about cameras is not a question that warrants calling the bot message for especially after they got an answer

consider that someone who is a newcomer to the server or unity might not truly know the nescessary context for some channels

[near wigeon]

yes because the bot tells you where you can look at the directory of channels to find the one that fits a question.. also tells you to be clear and show details in your question (including screenshots as it says)

[balmy kettle]

depending on the actual question here is probably not even the most appropriate place for the question. and providing them information on how/where to ask a question instead of just babying them is the best course of action

[worldly cave]

yeah so imagine new server member and unity user looks for channels to ask questions about cameras and goes into #🎥┃cinemachine asking what a camera component is or something....

if you think answering a question is babying someone then what the fuck is the point of this server lol

99% of the questions asked here can be solved with outside resources

[near wigeon]

force feedback ?

[elder vessel]

yea

[near wigeon]

this is where you elaborate..

[near wigeon]

when you're stuck after attempting to solve the issue yourself with googling, debugging , consulting manual etc.

most people come here as replacement to google

[worldly cave]

yeah exactly, so i dont think its really the end of the world is someone asks a question such as "whats the channel where i can ask about cameras"

[elder vessel]

as in the force put back into the wheel controller

[worldly cave]

especially when such a channel doesnt exist or could be confused for #🎥┃cinemachine

lets not pretend like this place is a perfectly optimized oracle of knowledge of all things unity, it is a discord server at the end of the day so a bit of "social work" goes a long way with some people

[near wigeon]

right cinemachine, not camera..
so in any other cases at least it might force them read channel descriptions and have their answer

[balmy kettle]

why are you so butthurt that this isn't a social place to hang out with your friends

[worldly cave]

i think thats a bad faith argument

and a bit of a straw man

but ok

[worldly cave]

yeah thats exactly why i told them this was the channel, they might not have been sure

and people are allowed to not be sure about something, asking about it is a perfectly normal thing to do

[near wigeon]

hence why the bot also says..Dont Ask to Ask ? Just ask ?

anyway , they exists for a reason. Just because you dont agree with it doesn't mean it should not be used
if you have a problem with it chalk it up to #1161868835423526933

[worldly cave]

but they did ask, they just asked which channel they can ask their probably more specific question in

[polar basalt]

why is there such a big argument over just someone using bot command

[worldly cave]

its not really an argument nor the point nescessarily

but this is too off topic now so whatever

[polar basalt]

yes, im pretty sure this is not a socializing server lol

[near wigeon]

that pretty vague, from where ? what are you trying to do exactly ?

[worldly cave]

all servers are "socializing" servers to some degree but ok

otherwise this would be a read only server

[polar basalt]

no this is one is for asking for help mostly

and sharing resources

[worldly cave]

yeah... socializing

[polar basalt]

[balmy kettle]

jesus, just give it a rest already

[worldly cave]

notice we stopped talking about it and you felt the need to chime in again 🤨

[balmy kettle]

you know damn well that is not what happened

[worldly cave]

it litterally is lmao

[stable perch]

Can yall just stop talking about it

Like everyone stop

Move on

[polar basalt]

what is the "resident" role?

i cant find anywhere where it says about that honestly

[worldly cave]

someone pull out the bot message, jk i wanna know too

[balmy kettle]

it means i live here

[worldly cave]

is it just active user?

[polar basalt]

is it something you get by leveling up by a bot or does a mod need to give it manually?

[stable perch]

The godot server has a collab channel, obviously not unity but you might find some others that don’t particularly care about what game engine you use, esp if you’re going to be the like main programmer

[balmy kettle]

there are no levels here

[polar basalt]

i honestly never knew so yeah, some mod gave it then ig
