mb im trying to get this working something like this but for all other brands

[near wigeon]

Oh you're talking about a Steering wheel..

Doesnt the new Input system support this (generic ones?)

[balmy kettle]

probably

[near wigeon]

Putting Force back in the wheel I thought you meant the wheel controller (physics)

this is why context is important 😛

[balmy kettle]

although if they mean like force feedback (which i assume works differently than a controller's rumble) then it's less likely it would be supported out of the box with unity and likely requires a some asset to implement

looks like logitech does have its own sdk for this, it will likely require quite a bit of work to use it in unity though

-# no idea why that's a malaysia link, nor why there doesn't seem to be a US equivalent but it should work regardless of country

[distant nimbus]

how do I apply two layermasks at once? I need to apply ~interactionboxes, but that also means they start hitting the IgnoresRaycasts layer

to raycasts, specificaly, I should have clarified

[balmy kettle]

https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks#combining-masks

[flat shale]

Is there a way to pin what I have selected into the Inspector pane so if I click something else accidentally it doesn't switch to its properties in the Inspector

[balmy kettle]

the inspector has a lock button that does exactly that

most windows have the same feature

[flat shale]

No way I thought that was just for preventing changes or something

[balmy kettle]

nope, it prevents the window itself from swapping to another context. you can still make changes to the object it's inspecting

[flat shale]

My issue was a lock and you were the key, thank you

[elder vessel]

yea the problem looks to be that each wheel maker does something different(input, force feedback, etc...) so that means I need to add everything one by one and for the wheels I don't have it means I need to eye ball the values and it still may not work!

[near wigeon]

little tip: you can also right click a component or gameobject and hit properties this will make it pop out a separate window without needing to lock the inspector.

[distant nimbus]

thank you I did not correctly internalize that layers and layerMASKS are different things

[upper tide]

oh. is it ok if I used the server as a replacement to google instead? Because yes I do try google first and I always find wasting time looking in the wrong place whereas someone in a help discord server would get it fixed pretty fast.

even for small things

[near wigeon]

what will you learn if people fix things for you every time instead of you learning how to properly research and fix problems yourself ?

researching and filtering out things to make a informed decisions is like most of the job

[upper tide]

I'd learn what they do and how they do it

[near wigeon]

You're not gonna learn because every little problem you will run here by your own admittance "its quicker"
quicker doesnt always mean good

[balmy kettle]

#🌱┃start-here
this server should not be a replacement for google. you are expected to google things yourself before asking here

[upper tide]

no, I learn quicker

currently I am learning stuff

I am not going to just jump into game dev

looking for information in the wrong place just wastes time

I forgot chatgpt exists

although I know how dirty that thing did me when trying winforms😭

[near wigeon]

information in the wrong place just wastes time
yet you're willing to trust a spambot that just feeds you wrong information with certainty its accurate

then you're wasting more time fixing broken code 🤔

[upper tide]

I am doing this rn

[near wigeon]

reading the manual, researching old post from unity.. those are not looking in the wrong place

[upper tide]

true

[near wigeon]

how do you think most of the people who learened without discord did it 🤔

[stable perch]

i def would not use AI. The general process is running into a problem, spend some time trying to google or think of a solution, then ask here if you dont find anything

[upper tide]

I just chuck everything into google

the search engine

[upper tide]

I am not someone who blind follows everything

[stable perch]

many problems you run into will be specific to your own project and require thinking from your end

[upper tide]

logic problems yea definitely

[stable perch]

what do you mean?

[upper tide]

I ddont have a problem with fixing those

[stable perch]

well waht are you having a problem with then

[near wigeon]

just fyi tagging someone randomly not in active conversation with you is against server rules #📖┃code-of-conduct

[upper tide]

yk how people just chuck a bunch of instructions and their code into chatgpt and expect it to solve it flawlessly so they can just copy back the code

[near wigeon]

oh they deleted it..

[stable perch]

yes, please dont do that

[upper tide]

yea I dont

I would never

I genuinely want to learn

[stable perch]

alr sweet

than what issues r u having

[near wigeon]

which is why its most important you learn how to research things yourself first and trying by debugging fixing issues, instead of running here and "its broke, fix it"

[upper tide]

problem with me waas I would just chuck some information into google and like go through a rabbit hole in the wrong place. So when I come to the server and ask the same thing I get it solved instantly

[upper tide]

I dont do that tho

[stable perch]

except you asked if you could come here with super menial issues that could be solved with google

which can be a bit frustrating for helpers

[near wigeon]

hence why I never directed it at you ?
i made that statement earlier as general thing and most people who come here with the wrong impression

[stable perch]

learning how to research problems is all part of the process, all we ask is you try that first before asking here

helps to filter out some of the super simple issues yk?

[upper tide]

yea I only come here after getting lost. I know that some website somewhere has the answer. I just dunno where. Or sometimes the answer is there and I just dont understand it

[stable perch]

yeah thats a perfectly valid reason to ask for help. I will say though that usually the unity docs have the answer

[near wigeon]

if you properly break down your problem in more general terms or smaller questions, for the most part pretty much most people already encountered what you have

[upper tide]

Some things are still beyond my english comp lol

[upper tide]

"quick question" is good for asking here first right?

because I know that that quick question in google would take a while

[near wigeon]

igt this is trolling at this point

[stable perch]

depends on the question. again just google it first

[near wigeon]

I dont got time for that..

[stable perch]

break it down into the most general terms possible

also do some debugging on your end

Use Debug.Log, debugging practices, etc

[upper tide]

does pictures count?

[stable perch]

what do you mean by that?

like displaying images in unity? thats a pretty googleable question

[near wigeon]

nothing they are just playing word games

[upper tide]

no no

[upper tide]

like if I wanted to ask something with a picture here

that I cant put into words

[mystic abyss]

a diagram

[stable perch]

thats what im saying, break it down into simple, generic terms and google those

if you say "my player wont collide with enemies" in the search bar you wont get anywhere. If you say "collision detection not working" that will give you more useful results

[near wigeon]

learning how to fish yourself , including which bait to use
vs
feeding yourself by asking for others to fish for you

[upper tide]

yea these I could just fix myself

[stable perch]

can you just give me the issue that you are currently having? if you dont have any problems right now then theres really no use talking about this

[near wigeon]

any problem no matter how complex can be broken down into smaller and easier to solve ones you can then put together

[upper tide]

but I get the theory

[upper tide]

yea none rn, doing the tutorial still

[stable perch]

ok cool just keep doing the tutorial until you run into a problem, then use some of your own debugging and googling skills to try and fix it before coming here

its that simple

[final geode]

So I imported an object made by a friend in blender but for some reason the colors aren't right, any ideas why?

[vivid cedar]

Check the materials

You'd have to be more specific than "the colors aren't right" though

[azure grove]

shaders and materials in blender vs unity do not carry over 1 for 1

i always find i am better just making new mateirals and mapping them in the import settings

[final geode]

How does that work as I'm importing an object made by my friend

[azure grove]

you setup the materials and texture in unity how you want them, and in the import settings you can tell it to map to materials based on the material or texture name

[final geode]

Oh do they need to also export the martial?

[azure grove]

like i said materials do not carry over 1 to 1, this will let you assign a material you make in unity to every material slot on the model

[final geode]

Don't think I can when it has a drawing like this

[azure grove]

you really need to give more information

i am just saying materials do not map over 1 to 1 that is just not a thing so will need to be created and edited on the unity side

if thats using vertex color or something else will need to make sure you are using a shader that displays it

[final geode]

Well this is our main character model here a cute little ghost, I'm not sure how they made it in blender material or otherwise, it's just that the face doesn't show when it's in unity

[azure grove]

so you will need to dig into how its done

how many materials is it exposing, if its 2 then its obvious it just has a black and a white one

if its 1 then its either using a texture or vertex color

[torpid totem]

guys I think I'm gonna

I'm gonna

convert religion

( godot )

[slow dirge]

In order to understand why it's not working, you need to understand why(how) it's working(in blender). As simple as that...

[stable perch]

how come

[torpid totem]

tried it once and I really liked it and I feel like if I become used to it I'll like it more than unity at the same skill level

if that makes sense

[stable perch]

alr cool

good luck!

[torpid totem]

thanks twin

rn though I have a project I'm gonna try to finish

it's a chess game
chess games are harder than they seem

[final geode]

I can tell it's basically due to bledner materials and renders being incompatible with Unity but unfortunately I can't do anything as I only have the object file, my friend is the one who did it and sent it to me as I can't model for the life of me

[azure grove]

just dig more i proposed some questions to ask above find the answers

[slow dirge]

Wdym by "materials and renders". That's very vague.
Is it a missing texture? Is it a custom material in blender? You need to understand this in order to find a fix. Ask your friend if you don't know yourself.

[final geode]

They aren't online now

[slow dirge]

Then ask them when they are.🤷‍♂️

[azure grove]

following common conventions for this its doing 1 of 3 things and there is enough evnidence in unity to figure out which one

first question, how many material slots does it have

[green hare]

any unity animation people here i can ask some questions?

[old schooner]

how do i add my visual script to my object?

[latent meadow]

seems most people do not use visual scripting, so if you do not get an answer, perhaps ask the #1390346878394040320 room

[latent meadow]

https://learn.unity.com/course/introduction-to-visual-scripting/tutorial/getting-started-with-visual-scripting?version=2021.1

[old schooner]

thx

[green hare]

were substate machines broken in unity 6?

[azure grove]

talking animator sub state machines?

[green hare]

yeah

[azure grove]

if so not noticed anything and i use them heavily

[green hare]

i cant seem to transition between a SSM and another without using finicky any state -> exit gimmicks

do you connect SSM's together directly?

[azure grove]

current character controller

some of them also contain other sub state machines

[green hare]

can i see what you get in the inspector when clicking on one of the grey arrows connecting two SSM's? Mine is very blank and has almost zero information

[azure grove]

connecting to the sub state machine its self

[green hare]

okay mine is definitely broken then
Lemme show you

[azure grove]

your transition into it if its from any state and its not a trigger you will likly run into issues

[green hare]

the blank file is already weird enough

But this is from an SSM to another

[azure grove]

ok and what does Air look like

[latent meadow]

reminder that there is an #🏃┃animation room @ Tarek

[wanton olive]

yo

[green hare]

not sure if this helps

[azure grove]

you need to exit

you will not get out of the Air sub state machine till you connect something to its exit

[green hare]

so i gotta do it manually from every node which could leave

[azure grove]

also looks like you are not using its entry either but are direclty going to states in it

yes'

like my jump one is doing this

[green hare]

dang. thought SSM's were treated as one animation node which one transition to/from was enough to exit/enter out of any of their children

[green hare]

does this handle transitions smoothly as well from a SSM to another? Last time I used the exit node it just snapped without smoothing though I can look more into it.

[azure grove]

it will transition fine

[latent meadow]

Please move to the proper room. #🏃┃animation

[azure grove]

settle down its slow and the context is here

[green hare]

Alright thank you! this was super helpful and the documentation is really poor with it. You're a lifesaver

how do i give thank points on the server?

[azure grove]

the transtion will be based on the part going to exit, not the one that leaves the ssm a layer up. the UI should show this as well

[green hare]

messages there are 2:30 hours apart and it's pretty much a questions channel without any answers or attention. Sorry bruz

[latent meadow]

really does not matter. the proper room is the proper room.

i do not have the patience for this right now, so you all have fun.

[green hare]

thanks. enjoy your unity talk

[drowsy sierra]

well i still cant open any projects in the unity hub, thats fun

[green hare]

Sorry for asking too many questions but I noticed you have transitions leave through exit and others through (Up) Base Layer. What's the difference? Is one auto generated while the other is manual? If there's good documentation or source for this I'd be grateful so I don't hound you much

[green hare]

Is it spamming you with the administrator message?

[drowsy sierra]

nope, just doesnt do anything

if i click on a project the little loading bar appears below it

and thats it

never does anything else

[azure grove]

in my case its handling a few edge case where i need a early out to a certain state, for the most part i am using exit so i can control externally where it goes next

[stable perch]

Are you certain you have the right editor version installed? If you look to the right the project was created in unity 2019.4.28f1, which is pretty old.

[azure grove]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-hub/logs
see if the logs have anything intersting

[drowsy sierra]

yeah thats the right version, the thing im doing requires that specific unity version

[stable perch]

There’s a red warning sign next to the version number

[drowsy sierra]

thats because of the recent vulnerability

[azure grove]

also maybe its because i am old, but a path on the A or B drive is really weird

[drowsy sierra]

thats just the drive letter for my ssd lol

[azure grove]

it is somehting you mapped on a network?

ok cool just double checking

[drowsy sierra]

figure im not plugging a floppy drive in any time soon, so i dont need to reserve A for that

[stable perch]

Oh ok, sorry I don’t have any ideas other than the obvious (uninstall and reinstall, reimport project, etc)

[green hare]

Do other projects open up fine?

[drowsy sierra]

nope, none work

reinstalled the hub and the editor

[green hare]

Lovely

[stable perch]

What happens if you make a project on the latest unity version

[azure grove]

are you on mac?

[green hare]

Despite the version?

[drowsy sierra]

nah, pc

[drowsy sierra]

ill try

[drowsy sierra]

i think i only have ones in that version

[azure grove]

#💻┃unity-talk message
would give the logs a check

[drowsy sierra]

i dont actually have the latest editor version installed, and yeah i looked at the logs but didnt see anything weird

"openProject projectPath: A:\\BSManager\\BSInstances\\1.39.1\\Beat Saber_Data\\My Wips\\Hold My Hand\\Hold My Hand_unity_2019, current editor: undefined"}

[azure grove]

current editor undefined seems odd

[drowsy sierra]

"Spawning editor instance with command:  C:\\Program Files\\Unity\\Hub\\Editor\\2019.4.28f1\\Editor\\Unity.exe , and arguments:  [ '-projectpath', 'A:\\\\BSManager\\\\BSInstances\\\\1.39.1\\\\Beat Saber_Data\\\\My Wips\\\\Hold My Hand\\\\Hold My Hand_unity_2019', '-acceptSoftwareTermsForThisRunOnly', '-useHub', '-hubIPC', '-cloudEnvironment', 'production', '-licensingIpc', 'LicenseClient-Nugget',

thats the only mentions of the project im trying to open

and it repeats those 2 things like 10 times

[azure grove]

can you naviagate to where that editor is installed and try to launch it via cli args with your project

[drowsy sierra]

how do i do that

[azure grove]

should be able to drag it into a terminal then add -projectPath followed by the path to your project

[drowsy sierra]

appears to have done absolutely nothing

[azure grove]

strange, the only time i seen something similar was on macOS when using older versions and that is due to rosetta no longer shipping by defualt

[drowsy sierra]

interesting, i deleted all the stuff in the appdata/roaming/unityhub folder and then relaunched, signed in, and added the project

then i clicked on it, and the loading bar appears, went for a bit, then disappeared

but it still didnt open lol

[green hare]

its teasing you

do you need 2019.4.28f1 exactly?

[drowsy sierra]

yes, thats the version requires for what im doing

it worked before, everyone else i know who does this stuff havent had any issues

[green hare]

im thinking you could bump the project up to 2019.4.29f1 so the project upgrade process fixes whatever's broken

[azure grove]

try fully closing hub even from sys tray

and open in adminstrator mode

[drowsy sierra]

i fully reinstalled it even

[green hare]

done that before and it worked somehow

[drowsy sierra]

dont think its an issue with the project tho

bcz i cant open any project

[green hare]

but u said you dont have any other editor version installed?

[drowsy sierra]

i also fully reinstalled the editor version

i have unity 2022 installed, ill try that

[green hare]

yeah im thinking the version itself messed up somehow maybe with a unity hub auto update. thats why i suggested another V

[green hare]

yup lemme know

[drowsy sierra]

well it opened

ill try creating a new project on 2019 and see if that opens

[green hare]

unity planned obsolescence lmao

[drowsy sierra]

and the 2019 project isnt opening

[still stone]

Copy the files from your project make them into a backup, make a new project that opens, import your files

[drowsy sierra]

created new on 2019, it did the loading bar, then the bar disappeared

[drowsy sierra]

cant make a new project

didnt work

[green hare]

yeah try bumping up to one release later. 2019.4.29f1 in ur case and upgrade one of your non working projects to see what works

[drowsy sierra]

idk the thing im doing said that it specifically requires 2019.4.28f1

so idk if it would work on .29f1

[still stone]

Make the backup anyway just in case. At this moment you're risking data corruption

[azure grove]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html
anything in other logs locations

mainly editor

[drowsy sierra]

aha

i figured out the issue i think

"Machine identification is invalid for current license."

[green hare]

spiders

[drowsy sierra]

"Reason might be there is a hardware change on this machine after the license was activated."

i got a new motherboard and cpu

[azure grove]

should be able to login in id.unity.com

[drowsy sierra]

i need to delete the license file

[azure grove]

release all licnses and use hub to activate it again

[green hare]

Well this is going on my troubleshooting list

Congrats on the new parts tho

[drowsy sierra]

yeah lol, thanks for the help

will see if this fixes it

ok im struggling to figure out how to delete my license

oh wait i remember we had license issues before and had a fix

ok nvm i deleted the license file and it didnt work

[green hare]

same error in the log?

[drowsy sierra]

it just didnt remove the license

still here

[green hare]

where did u delete it from?

[drowsy sierra]

C:\ProgramData\Unity

where the Unity_lic.ulf file is

[green hare]

i think licenses are connected to your unity account. not sure though
maybe it should be removed from there

[drowsy sierra]

previously i could delete that file and restart the hub and it would let me get a new license

[green hare]

did you try adding a new license for personal?

[drowsy sierra]

trying to add a new license does nothing

[azure grove]

https://id.unity.com/en/subscriptions

do they show up in there

can remove all activations in there to start anew

[drowsy sierra]

yep its there

and theres no way to remove it

[azure grove]

strange guess its works differnet for the free license

my i can control my pro licnese via that page

[green hare]

It's a symbiote

I'd assume free licenses aren't given any extra options. It's free so why would anyone remove it manually

[drowsy sierra]

yeah theres nothing

[viral hill]

I've been using 6.0.58f2 for a while and I havent had any problems, but the inspector has started glitching out so much all of a sudden, even between projects. I'm also getting tons of editor errors. Has anyone found a minimally buggy version of 6.x yet?

[vivid cedar]

Can you elaborate on "the inspector has started glitching out"?

[viral hill]

windows just turn completely black every now and then for a few secs. all of my windows flashed black rapidly a few times just now which is something that I havent seen before now

[vivid cedar]

That sounds like a different thing than an issue with the inspector

All of your windows, or just Unity?

[viral hill]

i've seen lots of others complain about the same thing happening with 6.2, and i've experienced this same thing with 6.2

[viral hill]

i meant the unity tabs

inspector, hierarchy, etc.

[vivid cedar]

Are you using G-Sync?

Are your graphics drivers up to date?

[viral hill]

yeah i think so, but i doubt that's the root

[viral hill]

yes

[vivid cedar]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/g-sync-causes-editor-to-flicker/916582

[viral hill]

"utm_source=chatgpt.com" ?

[vivid cedar]

yes it's a useful research tool

[viral hill]

also this is a new issue with 6.2 that a lot of people are facing, the discussions post that you linked is old and not the same thing

[vivid cedar]

you're not using 6.2 though

[viral hill]

i didnt know that chatgpt added it's own tag to url's when linking them, that's why i was confused

[viral hill]

6.2 as well as the new security patch for 6.0 which is what im using

[vivid cedar]

I would try disabling g-sync, since there's a known issue with it

[viral hill]

even then, that doesnt solve the constant flurry of editor bugs

[vivid cedar]

I mean if you're just going to vaguely say "there's a flurry of bugs" it's really hard for anyone to concretely help you. If you have specific issues you can look and see if they've been reported and what their bug tracker statuses are

and if anyone has workaround

[viral hill]

i'm not looking for help with something specific. i've seen these problems plenty of times before and i know that there's nothing that can be done to fix it until unity themselves fix it. i was simply asking if anyone knows of a 6.x version that is more stable than the version that im using

[viral hill]

6.2 is notoriously buggy, if you arent already aware

[slow dirge]

Well, the only other candidate is 6.0. 6.1 should definitely be behind both of these.

So it's not like you have a huge amount of options.

If you think that 6.2 is definitely not it, try 6.0.

[viral hill]

that's what im doing now, but it's not much better than 6.2. i was wondering if there were any other 6.0 or 6.1 minor vers that were better than what im using

[potent geyser]

We've been experiencing the inspector blackout issue after upgrading to 6000.2.6f2 as well.

[slow dirge]

We can't say anything about it because "better than what I'm using" is an extremely subjective statement.

As praetor said, if you're concerned about specific bugs, investigate what versions have them and what don't.

[viral hill]

"not buggy" seems like a reasonable assumption for anyone to make on their own

[slow dirge]

No, it's not, especially considering that there are a lot of people that don't experience such bugs at all.

[viral hill]

exactly, which is why i want to know what version those people are using...

[slow dirge]

I mean on the same versions that you were using.

Bugs are bugs, because they're not 100% reproducible. Otherwise they wouldn't go past the QA stage and get fixed before release.

[viral hill]

i know that im playing a game of trial and error here, but it's all that i can do

[slow dirge]

Well, then do it as much as you like, but just understand that there's not much we can help you with in this endeavor.

[viral hill]

yes, im well aware

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! Rider is now free for use right? It's very interesting because I remember it was commercial what happened?

[inland river]

Only for personal/non-commercial use. Gets more people to use it, more familiarity, more sales. Free version also doesn’t include the extended toolset.

I have been having the least issues with 6000.0.58f1 (to clarify, f1 is working for me, Not f2), but as stated, this is entirely an individual experience. 6.2 has been unusable for me. also 6.58f2 was not working for me either.

[deft rock]

What issues have you had with 6.0.58f2 ? It's been no different for me, so far

[latent meadow]

'fake errors', iirc. that might have also had the flickering issue. i fired it up, it went south, i walked away pretty quickly, so i do not recall the exact specifics clearly

[latent meadow]

interesting.. i just installed 6000.0.60f1, no security warning, release date of October 16th, AFAIK, so after the seemingly faulty f2 series releases

[mild radish]

60 is decent so far

[pure igloo]

how to add these as an animation?

[storm patio]

set its sprite mode to multiple and slice it, and then turn it into an animation clip

[pure igloo]

which option?

[latent meadow]

You should very much check this out
https://learn.unity.com/search?k=["q%3A2d "]

[storm patio]

on the texture2d, not on the spriterenderer

[pure igloo]

is there a shortcut to select pngs by hovering the mouse over the ones i need?

don't want this one, want the rest for the animation

[latent meadow]

ctrl

or select that one, and Invert Selection ctrl i

[pure igloo]

more like i wanna select the rest

[latent meadow]

Invert Selection...

[pure igloo]

ctrl i not working

oh wait i get it now

[latent meadow]

i usually have to use the menu

[pure igloo]

isn't there a better way to select by hovering over the ones you wanna select or smth? having to select every one of them is a pain...

[latent meadow]

not that i am aware of, and i think you are still not getting it.. you select the Single one, you do Not want, then Invert the Selection

also, holding down Shift can allow you to click on the first in a line and the last in a line to select them and everything in between.

[pure igloo]

i do understand that

[pure igloo]

this i don't get

[latent meadow]

then how is that 'selecting every one'

hold shift, click on one near the top. keep holding shift, click on one further down in the list

[pure igloo]

explain this a bit more pls?

got it

thx

also

now what

[latent meadow]

.. have you taken any of the courses to teach you 2D?

pretty sure i linked them to you

[pure igloo]

ya, but the problem is that most of the videos and tutorials don't deal with the same verion of unity so i am having problems finding the right options and menus

[latent meadow]

that is ok. it causes you to look around a bit more and learn it better, in the end. if you cannot find a particular thing, ask that specifically.

[deft rock]

you only need to hold shift before the second click

[latent meadow]

Cool deal, thanks 🙂

[pure igloo]

i want to upload these list of images as an animation. What i have been able to figure out until now is that i select all of these and then the inspector shows up. I then choose sprite mode to be multiple. Question is, what nexxt?

how do i save it?

[latent meadow]

i have no idea., i do not work with 2D

in that Inspector you have a screenshot of, pressing Apply 'saves' what you were doing.

[north bane]

Guys, do you know how to decompile apk files into Unity?

[storm patio]

sorry, decompilation discussion isn't allowed here for legal and practical reasons

see #📖┃code-of-conduct

[latent meadow]

not what i meant. I do not know what the sentence means. you are not going to accomplish much until you take the courses that have been linked to you.
You are just flailing around right now.

[pure igloo]

aight, i will try completing it.

[latent meadow]

also, check this out, right in the Hub

[pure igloo]

won't be doing 3d

[latent meadow]

you are Not paying attention at this point.

[pure igloo]

oh i am colourblind did not see the arrow

will try completing the tutorial for the 2d thingy you provided thx for helping

[latent meadow]

those should be more useful than an out of date brackeys tutorial

[north bane]

ok

[earnest pivot]

is there a way to make a 2D tileset go on curve and become a cylinder on 3D like on this image? or are there any alternatives that i can try?

[copper gust]

Shader stuff probably

Nothing out of the box

[earnest pivot]

how to do it in shader?

[storm patio]

...you want to show the entire tileset as a cylinder?

or like, a specific tile as the cylinder

i feel like that'd basically just be turning the sprite into a material

[copper gust]

Oh actually

Camera -> Render Texture -> Material (?)

Little cursed

[earnest pivot]

i want a tileset to become a cylinder form
the tileset may be edited at anytime and the radius/height of the cylinder can be changed at anytime
but tbh i dont know how to start doing it

don't wanna just turn everything into a sprite because i want to play with the 2d colliders

[storm patio]

i don't see how those 2 things relate

by "any time", does that include runtime

[earnest pivot]

i think runtime

what i want to do is to turn this 2D tileset into a cylinder in 3D space

[earnest pivot]

like this

[storm patio]

that's a tilemap, not a tileset

[earnest pivot]

oh my bad

[storm patio]

that definitely changes it lmao

i have a screenshot of my scene view on the landscape, I want to see if anyones got feedback cause I cant tell what makes it look "bad" but I dont know which channel to post in. Any help?

i have a screenshot of my scene view on

[viral hill]

Thanks for the input

[latent meadow]

Sure thing. I just noticed that they have released a 6000.0.60f1 that does not have a security warning. since it is f1 and not f2, maybe it will be as stable as 58f1.

[sudden zephyr]

hey i don't see anything before like this 🤣😂

[latent meadow]

ok.. if you are talking about the Animator screen, perhaps review the basics on the learning site

can I just use the new package and do the same stuff shown in the tutorial or like what's going on

[viral hill]

no one is stopping you from using it, but it would be best to use the other SDK mentioned

[pure igloo]

whot

[viral hill]

read the error

Do you guys think someone would accept being paid like, 10 dollars to convert a GLSL shader to whatever the hell Unity uses? I'm kinda getting desperate lol

[viral hill]

and... it's pretty self explanatory

[sweet charm]

The 2 error messages in your console

[analog crane]

Do you actually have any C# experience?

[pure igloo]

so the script i wrote is wrong

[sweet charm]

[viral hill]

no, reading those wont help since they are a result of the main issue

[latent meadow]

google that. it should explain how to ensure your script derives from monobehavior

[pure igloo]

i did have an inkling when it said i needed to find an object from a class and use it that i was doing smth wrong

[viral hill]

do you even know what any of that means

[latent meadow]

as always, crawl, then walk, then run. you seem to be trying to sprint right now, without knowing the rules of the racetrack

[pure igloo]

i didn't really try understanding the technicalities of diff stuff, only rly did neetcode. it's only when i try talking to others that i understand that to explain to them what i am thinking i need to learn the terminologies

[stuck flower]

Fix your compile errors

[viral hill]

neetcode? do you mean leetcode or netcode?

[pure igloo]

neetcode

[viral hill]

wtf is that

[pure igloo]

basically leetcode

[viral hill]

did you do one problem and think it was ok to stop lmao

[pure igloo]

nah

did like 80-90 already

in cpp

[viral hill]

yeah you're just lying now. im out

[stuck flower]

You have it backwards. The compile errors are the main issue. The popup is a symptom of that.

[viral hill]

why would the popup occur based off of those errors?

[stuck flower]

Because if a script can't compile then Unity doesn't know if it's a mono behaviour

[latent meadow]

Really? i assumed they are just missing the boilerplate about mono

[viral hill]

yeah, now we know they are

[stuck flower]

In this case it appears to be so

[viral hill]

this has never happened to me before

[stuck flower]

But that popup just means it failed to compile at all

[stuck flower]

If the code can't compile any new scripts don't get recognized as MonoBehaviours

[stuck flower]

Your code needs to extend MonoBehaviour

Also you need to configure your !ide

[vagrant root]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

[pure igloo]

when it says find the update function, does it mean that the update function is already present somewhere or that i need to create it in the class?

[latent meadow]

problem is, they seem to think they are going to hack their way through this whole thing instead of spending the time to learn the basics.
I hope i am wrong, but this is the appearance

[stuck flower]

If you had actually created it from the mono behaviour template instead of the empty script it would be there

[latent meadow]

that's what i mean. i do not think they have taken the basics to even know what you mean there

[viral hill]

i just tested it and i only get an error in the console regarding the missing reference

[latent meadow]

on the learning site, Junior Programmer Pathway

[pure igloo]

u r right, most of what you guys are saying is going over my head

[viral hill]

have you ever actually seen this popup happen as a result of simple in-class errors?

this is first im hearing of this

[latent meadow]

Hit that pathway. invest the time, and it will all make more sense

[stuck flower]

Yes, many times for many years

Also would come up if the class name mismatched the file name until Unity 6

[pure igloo]

damn this is what ppl mean when they say dsa ain't enough

[lime silo]

hi

[viral hill]

actually that requirement was no longer needed after one of the 2022 minor vers came out

i forget which one exactly

[latent meadow]

Howdy. not a 'social' server, so hi and by generally go unanswered. if you have a Unity question, feel free to ask

[sweet charm]

I vaguely remember this because even if it was MB, I still could not attach it. Thanks for the clarification

[pure igloo]

is there a similar pathway but in 2d? i don't think my pc can handle 3d

[stuck flower]

It's the same engine

[pure igloo]

but my pc won't be able to render 3d

as good as it does 2d

[sweet charm]

You will have to learn OOP too

[latent meadow]

is it really lagging on that exact simple project?

[pure igloo]

no

[latent meadow]

ok, because it does not get more resource intensive than that. you should be able to run that Junior Programmer project on just about any potato

[smoky harness]

basically monobehavior is the thing that lets you include functions like Update, Start, etc. if you don't create a monobehavior template script, you can include it like this:

[sweet charm]

They just need to understand what a class is

[dreamy snow]

so yeah did recalcualte normals . and nothing changed the distorted mesh is still there.. : 🙁

[azure pond]

i think that's in scope for a chatbot no?

you're trying to grab something from shadertoy or whatever

[analog crane]

Nope

Wanted to try to use Paper in Unity https://github.com/ProwlEngine/Prowl.Paper/blob/main/Samples/RaylibSample/RaylibCanvasRenderer.cs

[pure igloo]

so...my net ain't afst enough to watch the videos at that resolution. In the previous course you told me to take, there is this course which it tells me to go through before i proceed. I think this will help me in the scripting process, might be wrong though. thing is, it's showing an error msg whenever i am clicking on this url. could you go to it and check out whether this url works or not? this is the link
https://learn.unity.com/course/2d-beginner-adventure-game/unit/player-character-and-movement/tutorial/set-up-a-2d-player-character?version=2022.3

[azure pond]

the shader in that file was written by a chatbot lol

[analog crane]

How can you be sure

Actually did wulferis write that or was that another contributor

need to check

[azure pond]

in fact 90% of that file was written by chatbot

[azure pond]

i just know.

i mean it's usually the style

the comments are a dead giveaway

[latent meadow]

it works, but it appears to be laggy

[pure igloo]

can you give me the link then?

or just tell me which course it points to

[latent meadow]

oh.. you want the link to unity Essentials Pathway?

[pure igloo]

is it this one?

[latent meadow]

yes

[pure igloo]

will this work as a substitute course?

[latent meadow]

no, but it is generally what you take before taking the Junior Programmer. you will learn some things from it

[pure igloo]

oh....demn

[latent meadow]

if lag is your problem, you can always download the videos and watch them locally

[pure igloo]

i can...i do that....but then i would have to manually download all of em and that's gonna be a pain

[azure pond]

imo just use uitoolkit or an embedded browser

[latent meadow]

buddy, IDK what to tell you at this point. either do what you have to, to learn this to make what you want, or find something else to work on.

[pure igloo]

it's not a pain because i don't wanna do the extra work, more like taking all that time to download stuff is basically gonna be wasted time for me

i would rather read than watch then

[sweet charm]

What the heck

[pure igloo]

if there's a guide which i can read from

i will

[latent meadow]

yeah, that makes sense. maybe try the 2d courses i linked earlier. maybe they are more reading? IDK if they are video or text

[pure igloo]

they do have more text

Hi not really sure where to drop this question, so ill just ask this here. Can anyone recommend unity environment tutorials paid or free, either is fine. If it is for games then its even better. Thanks in advance.

[lime silo]

Unity has free sources

[polar basalt]

hey guys, if i want to make a power that makes the player be able to go trough objects, but not all of them, like walls, floor, what would be the best way to do that?

use collider layer overrides?

[vivid cedar]

layer based collisions - using the layer collision matrices or the overrides on the Rigidbody

[polar basalt]

would that be the only way?

[vivid cedar]

Those are two different ways

and they're the best ways

you could theoretically also change how the player moves entirely, or mess around with enabling/disabling colliders

Or yse Physics.IgnoreCollision for specific collider pairs

but the layer based workflows will be the simplest

your code could be as simple as moving the player to a preconfigured layer that is set up to ignore the things you want in the matrix

[polar basalt]

yeah thats true

thanks a lot

who's stopping you

but, idk if i am allow to if do it

obviously if you aquired the assets from them, usually they are in mind for purposes of being used

most assets just require you not to sell the assets themselves..

I know I'm barking at the moon ...

[pearl egret]

Any Ideas?

[balmy estuary]

hi

[shadow heron]

https://nohello.net/en/

[storm patio]

how did you install the editor to begin with, and how are you trying to install the module (what apps/tools/sources?)

[balmy estuary]

i was kinda joking but sure

[shadow heron]

explain the joke...

[pearl egret]

I Went To Unity Website And Grabbed The Editor And Downloaded It, After Installing It And Then Making Sure Its In My Install It Shows Android, And Windows

[shadow heron]

This isn't a social server where you can talk about life, and how nice it feels to touch grass. If you want help with something just say what your problem is

[storm patio]

so do you have android installed or not..?

generally you should install the editor via the hub and then you can install modules from there too

[pearl egret]

I Do, But My Project Doesnt Show Its Installed Whatsoever

[storm patio]

in build settings, is android shown

[pearl egret]

No, I Tried Downloading That Too

[storm patio]

have you restarted since you installed android

[pearl egret]

My Project Or PC Or Something Else?

[storm patio]

the editor

[pearl egret]

I Had To Close My Project For The Install, And Ill Restart My PC Rn If You Think That Might Be It

[balmy estuary]

i was joking man i actually use this server for help

[storm patio]

we don't need to prolong this.

[balmy estuary]

i guess

[pearl egret]

No? Im Not Sure How To Do That

[storm patio]

it's basically closing your project and reopening it. you open your project with the editor

so sounds like you've already done that

[pearl egret]

Then Yes I Have

[storm patio]

not sure what else you could do. one thing you could try is this #💻┃unity-talk message

or perhaps ask the folks in the vrchat discord, if you're following a vrc tutorial or something like that

[near wigeon]

why not try it properly through the hub

[pearl egret]

I Tried The Download First That Didn't Work Then Tried Though The Hub* I Had Totally Forgot That I Just Downloaded It Through The Hub

[near wigeon]

if you did it through the hub you shhould see an "Add Modules" button there no?

[pearl egret]

Yes, And It Shows That Its On There

Ill Grabs A SS

[gentle vine]

Sorry to interrupt, I've been having a problem, I've done box and capsule colliders before for a 3d game but I'm making a 2d game and can't quite think how to create a collider which is a non standard geometry (curved and follows a pizza slice shape)

My player is this circle with a shield in front, and the width of this curved shield can grow or shrink

[pearl egret]

It Shows Android, Windows, IOS

[storm patio]

what modules does it show installed when you try to manage it

[near wigeon]

create it with a for loop then use use a polygon collider

[pearl egret]

Im Not Sure What You Mean?

[near wigeon]

also another place to double check is inside the editor under Preference make sure all the path are correct

[pearl egret]

This?

[storm patio]

click manage > add modules
what does it show

yes

[near wigeon]

Preferences page in unity, make sure its linking to the correct sdks

[pearl egret]

Are You Saying That To Me? If So How Do I Check? Im In Pref Right Now

[near wigeon]

External tools ?

its a long shot but worh checking

[near wigeon]

ok yeah thats bad

should be something like this ^

[pearl egret]

But Could I Just Be The Different Versions We Are On?

[stiff quest]

nah its same

[near wigeon]

doubt it .. it should still be in that location afaik

[pearl egret]

Or Does That Not Make Sense?

[pearl egret]

So Then How Do I Go About Fixing That?

[near wigeon]

depends whats causing it, hard to tell without further debugging

[pearl egret]

Wouldn't The Android Addon Install Have Fixed That?

[stiff quest]

maybe try to reinstall module

[tulip sequoia]

Hi everyone !

I was wondering if any one has a fix for these memory leaks or what version of unity i should be using it seems like anything above 6000 .0.41f1v gives these errors and cant ignore because it later crashes the final build .

these warning even start on a fresh clean build if you touch a particle system it gives errors .

[pearl egret]

How Do I Do That?

[near wigeon]

nah normally you dont have to install these separate cause unity already takes care of linking it and correct versions

reinstall editor, remove the modules.. add again

etc.

[stiff quest]

Idk never had to reinstall module

[stuck flower]

That warning doesn't actually affect anything. If a crash is happening, I don't think it's related to this

[pearl egret]

Okay

Should I Delete The 2022.3.22f1 Off My Installed Apps Too?

[near wigeon]

clean everything, start fresh

including AppData that holds unity, and all that crap

[tawny hearth]

I’m confused because I just read the unity jam rules

[near wigeon]

what i the question , I don't get it

[tawny hearth]

why is Quebec and Italy on the unity jam list for u.s export regulations under the jam rules

[tulip sequoia]

Thank you digiholic for the reply I've also read that on a few forums , i dont know i feel i have the opposite experience all builds when the Editor gives me these warnings game crashes after few min then if i create same project in a different version of unity which doesnt have these warnings the final build never crashes XD this is so strange 🙁 and now with all the Security problesm on older versions tough to find a version of unity 6 that works without any errors XD

[near wigeon]

something like this I think
been a while since I done circles n shit via unity

        Vector2[] points = new Vector2[segments + 2];

        // 0 - 90 degreez
        float angleStep = Mathf.PI / 2f / segments; 

        points[0] = Vector2.zero; //center 
        for (int i = 0; i <= segments; i++)
        {
            float angle = i * angleStep;
            float x = Mathf.Cos(angle) * radius;
            float y = Mathf.Sin(angle) * radius;
            if (flipX) x = -x;
            if (flipY) y = -y;
            points[i + 1] = new Vector2(x, y);
        }```
`polygoncollider.points = points`

[potent geyser]

Quebec (probably Italty too) has strict rules when it comes to contests and winnings that companies just avoid dealing with entirely.

[tawny hearth]

Oh ok

I've heard if you win a McDonald's Monopoly in Canada, to get the prize you have to answer a simple maths question as it classes your winnings as part of a game of skill, not chance

[potent geyser]

That's correct

hello, I just recently started working in unity and there is a problem when the animation of the character running is played, the camera remains in place of the head

[worldly cave]

could you clarify? are you saying the camera doesnt move with the player when the animations are playing?

[near wigeon]

you have to move the camera target as your positions change

[wicked siren]

Hi there. I hope this is the right place to ask for help regarding Unity.

I'm having a problem with a new Augment Reality I'm making. Attached below is only a sample scene from the from the AR.

The console says that there are no errors so it should be good to go. Right?

But when I tested it in game mode, I can't move the camera, or click the button to continue. I don't know what's wrong.

Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

[stable sky]

The camera moves, but like this from behind, it stays in the place where I attached it to the character.

[near wigeon]

why would it magically know to move with the mesh

[stable sky]

in sense

[worldly cave]

this might be a bit of an obvious question but you pressed play right?

you didnt just enter the game view

[wicked siren]

Yes I did.

[worldly cave]

well yeah thats how that works

youre gonna either have to stabilize the head in a way that it doesnt move from its current position or have the camera move with it

[stable sky]

but I don't understand how to make the camera move with It at all, I've already done everything.

[worldly cave]

but thats basically a full body true fps system which might be a bit too ambitious, is this a game where you will constantly be seeing your player from other perspectives? if not i say for now you can ditch the world model

or just make the world model invisible to the cameras view, so it still looks decent from other perspectives but nothing changes in the first person view

[stable sky]

I probably will, but of course I would like to see the character in full

[worldly cave]

well yeah but being able to see your entire body from the first person view and having all the animations and stuff match is not a light challenge lol

thats why most fps games opt for the whole no legs thing, seperating the viewmodels from the worldmodels

[shadow heron]

I have made a full body fps controller before, the way I did it was I used cinemachine and added a empty game object in the player as a tracking target. Next I basically made a list via vector3 and added 8 different direction movement as I had 8 animations that move in all directions. then I did some testing and when the player moved in any of the directions I would change the value to that so the camera would move to that spot.

This is what I mean ↓

[stable sky]

I tried to figure out cinemachine today and didn't really understand anything, I didn't even understand how to make the character turn when the camera is turned.

[shadow heron]

Watch some tutorials about cinemachine.

[stable sky]

basically, all the tutorials are on the old versions and for some reason everything is done from the 3rd person

as I understand it, it's better for me to make the character invisible. so that only the hands are visible.

[worldly cave]

not nescessarily "better" but it is easier especially as a beginner

[stable sky]

Thank you very much, otherwise I probably would have continued to suffer with cinemachine.

[shadow heron]

If you think making a full body fps controller is hard trust me it aint hard. It was very easy to setup and in my opinion it makes your game feel more professional like.

[worldly cave]

you should still try and learn how to use cinemachine and probably eventually learn to do full body fps

but considering you said you are very new to unity

you have a lot of other learning priorities

[stable sky]

Well, can you describe how to do it? I'll try, maybe it will work.

[shadow heron]

Since you are new to unity I would advise you to first build your knowledge. Learn how to use cinemachine , animator etc, cause if you want to make a FBFPSC your going to need to know how to use the animator and how to set it up.

[wicked siren]

Pray tell, what do you mean I "didn't just enter the game view?"

[worldly cave]

nah its nothing related to your issue, i have no clue why it wouldnt be working

try sending a bug report or something

[stable sky]

how do I understand now that they don't make cameras without cinemachine?

[storm patio]

is it not a separate package still

cinemachine builds on top of cameras rather than replacing cameras, no?

[strange moon]

As a newbie, find a goal that you want to achieve and go for it. Dont go with bla bla learn basics. Learn Everything thats enough to reach your goal

[shadow heron]

cinemachine is a separate package and yes it builds on top of camera's / adds the components you need to the camera

[near wigeon]

cineamchine cameras never touch the main Camera component

thats all controlled by Cinemachine brain on the camera component to which Cinemachine camera to display

[near wigeon]

we dont nee shit posting / offtopic here .

[naive tide]

I want an idea for a game for this character

[near wigeon]

#📖┃code-of-conduct

[near wigeon]

this isn't the place for that

make a thread at minimum

[naive tide]

I just want an idea, no more, why are you so strict?

[somber spire]

i really want t hear someones personal opinion on this

[viral hill]

15k batches 😐

[near wigeon]

because there are rules in place, I'm just parroting them
keeps the server clean and not veering into unrelated offtopic

there are more dedicated servers for general game design / topic discussions

[tardy pollen]

In URP, Is material Variant == material instance? I mean really down to the rendering pipeline if two material variants of the same material do batch the same as two material instances of the same material

[near wigeon]

probably better asked in #1390346776804069396

[viral hill]

no, these are two different things

[somber spire]

kinda made a little mistake instantiating trees. its a forest in a way but as you can imagine a bit dense

866304 trees to be exact

[naive tide]

But I don't do anything that is irrelevant to talk about game development, and I did that, an idea to develop

[near wigeon]

where does it say anything about general game development ?

Non-programming Unity topics & questions not covered by specific channels.
at most..
and that is discussion unity specific questions like the editor, game design discussions go in a thread

[tardy pollen]

What are the variants for then? With instance I have a problem that I can't set it in editor mode (even via code). I need different instances of the same light emiting material for baking (each instance has different colour) but in the editor it's not possible to set it, only in play mode 🤔

[naive tide]

If there was something wrong with the topic, the server was the first to talk, not you.

[near wigeon]

not sure why you're being combative, just letting you know how things work around here.
if you have a problem with it chalk it up to the mods and see what they say..

guaranteed they will tell you the same exact thing, better me telling you about it 🤷‍♂️

[tardy pollen]

I tried to google, it says nothing about what/how they are implemented. Why I'm asking here

[naive tide]

Whatever it is with your experience give me the right place for what I said before

[meager fractal]

new here

[near wigeon]

I'm gona repeat it once more since you seem to have a comprehension issue.
If you're just talking about general game developement there are other servers for that.
if you are discussing something related to unity editor then sure you can use the appropriate channels here
if its a GameDesign topic you wish to discuss then you can make a thread as said in the description of this channel

Any prolonged discussions and **game design **questions should be threaded.

Is enabling post processing for overlay cams supposed to make everything desaturated for some reason

even though im not actually using any volumes on the post process cam itself.

and i have a seperate layer for the volumes on my main cam

[short badge]

Any idea how to remove this thing ? everytime i do a changement on my scene it always do this, and this keep taking soo long for nothing

[near wigeon]

have you tried refreshing your Library

worth a shot

[short badge]

delete the library folder ?

[near wigeon]

yes

close unity first

(its gonna open with an empty scene btw, just open your old one)

[tawny hearth]

What is the maths question. Please tell me it isn’t what’s the meaning of life and the answer is 42

[meager fractal]

ok

[green hare]

unity randomly messes with my sprite skin components and makes this out-of-sync error happen. it fixes only when i restart the project and it happens every 10-15 minutes. any ideas? What are some quick resets instead of restarting?

[pliant brook]

does anybody have a fix for my lighting not looking the same on the camera? i use post processing and urp, the renderer is correct, and post processing is ticked on the camera.

[worldly cave]

wdym not looking the same?

[green hare]

compared to the viewport you mean?

[worldly cave]

screenshot your pp volume

[pliant brook]

just less contrasted

[worldly cave]

do you have an overlay camera?

[pliant brook]

no

[worldly cave]

how does it look in viewport vs cam

screenshot

[pliant brook]

it may be because i dont have a post processing layer, but when i try to use it, it doesnt work

[viral hill]

looks like post processing isnt toggled on in the scene view

or the other way around

[tender patio]

hey, I want to make short horror games that are PS1 style but idk how to make and on youtube you have tutorials for other type of horror, the one I mean is that you are a worker or its like a story

[worldly cave]

screenshot your full camera component

[worldly cave]

the more specific your needs are the less there is to learn from

[near wigeon]

start simple. You're never going to find a video that does the exact thing you want

[worldly cave]

youre going to need to develop a lot of different skills to get your end result

[tender patio]

hey glad to meet you, so can you explain what a short 20 minute horror story game needs

cuz its not open world to throw the player but is a strict story

[near wigeon]

I dont know, I don't do Game Design that much.. I just code stuff in and general workflow

this isn't a unity specific question

[tender patio]

oh yeah

[worldly cave]

its also a very loaded question lol

you should start simple as nav said

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[worldly cave]

find some general tutorials for unity, get familiar with how game engines in general work because it seems to me you are new to this whole thing

put your horror idea on the backburner until you get some experience developing

hitting the ground running with your dream game when you dont actually have a lot of experience is a sure fire way to never complete that dream game

unless the dream game in question is pong or something

[tender patio]

lol nope but I want to do "simple things" like dialoge, a following story, letters with text

[near wigeon]

those are not simple things

[tender patio]

I know I am new so it wont be good but atleast learn how to setup a game scene

I know I said ""

[worldly cave]

something simple is getting a circle follow your mouse movement or something

[near wigeon]

thats fine , which is why starting from the basics and work up is the way

[worldly cave]

yeah dialogue trees is far from the basics

its pretty complex

a lot of things that seem simple from a gamers perspective are pretty darn complex when you actually start developing

[tender patio]

this is a horror game ... so here you give candies, so maybe I take the system for people come to a point and after you throw the candy to their collison they walk away

[worldly cave]

come again?

[tender patio]

so not a full game and not too simple

[near wigeon]

if you want to make a game design discussion you need a thread

[worldly cave]

have you ever made anything in unity or any game engine before?

[tender patio]

yeah

[tender patio]

starting systems

I made one

[worldly cave]

proud of you

[worldly cave]

yeah i got no clue

[tender patio]

I meant thread but a game too

[worldly cave]

if youre going to talk about your game and or games do it in the thread you just created

[pliant brook]

its alr ive asked so many other people they cant get it either 🙁

[tender patio]

I know Scratch is simple but I made games there too that involve more then move, so I know how to pick up things at start

[worldly cave]

last ditch effort

go into your urp settings

and check if hdr is enabled

[pliant brook]

ok

[short badge]

It appear to solve my issue thanks :)

[tender patio]

guys so I explained in the thread what I kinda want to learn

[worldly cave]

keep thread discussions inside the actual thread.

[tender patio]

maybe I wont be able to make it perfect but if I can break a system I am happy

[polar basalt]

is there any way to make my IDE smarter? ive never used Microsoft.Unity.VisualStudio.Editor, why does it keep recommending that library everytime i want to put an UI.Image

btw this is VS Code

[near wigeon]

Alphabetical order

[polar basalt]

so there is no way to change that so its more of "whats used more"?

[near wigeon]

maybe, I dunno how

I think VSC can do it . Im sure if you google it

[glacial flax]

Why the map got less details when imported into Unity ? (with the settings too)

[near wigeon]

compression / filtering

[glacial flax]

how do I change that ?

[near wigeon]

where it says Compression and Filter Mode

also making sure MaxSize is big enough for your size

[shadow heron]

Change the filtermode to point to make it not blurry

[glacial flax]

it's not blurry anymore but still looks weird

[glacial flax]

I don't see compression

[glacial flax]

yea I used both it's still weird

[near wigeon]

wdym both ?

did you set it to None ?

also is the Image size small enough to fit the MaxSize

[glacial flax]

Compression and Filtering

[glacial flax]

should the image match the image in the painting software ?

ok I fixed it

thx

[tawny hearth]

why did @eager radish send me a friend request earlier today btw

[potent geyser]

We're not your caregivers. But if you're not expecting friend invites, you can turn them off for the server.

[stable perch]

Maybe they wanted to help you in DMs or something

[stuck flower]

Or it's a spam bot which there are about a billion of

But it doesn't have anything to do with this server

[silk briar]

is there anywhere to ask about plugins/extensions/assets

[potent geyser]

On how to use them/troubleshoot them? No, usually you would contact the asset developer or if it's a popular asset they'll have their own method of communication or a discord server listed on their page.

[silk briar]

fuckkk, its about the kinematiccharactercontroller and theres no support for it lmao

ive been trying for so long to get in touch with someone but i think its broken in newer unity versions

when importing and unity says to update the files due to api changes could that break it

[near wigeon]

probably just deprecated functions

[potent geyser]

I think KCC is generally not supported as the developer now works on the Dots version.

[near wigeon]

the person who made it now works / worked for unity making the ECS controller

[potent geyser]

I mean, supported as in, the developer is not available for it. The asset itself is still useable.

[silk briar]

damn man that sucks so bad.

not sure if i should just buy another on the asset store

[near wigeon]

up to you.
what are the errors anyway

[silk briar]

when i just implement the base interface for Icharactercontroller and set nothing other than return true for the validcolissions method the capsule just flies into infinity

which shouldnt happen

[slow dirge]

Well, you can try debugging it, or look for a different asset. 🤷‍♂️

[silk briar]

theres no documentation to debug it lmao

[near wigeon]

you dont need documentation to debug something 🤔

[slow dirge]

Source code

[silk briar]

its quite a complex asset though

[slow dirge]

Unless it's a dll or something and no source code available

[slow dirge]

A lot in this world is complex. Doesn't mean that it's not debuggable.

[near wigeon]

most premade systems are

[silk briar]

yeah it may take hours tho

[near wigeon]

welcome to development

[silk briar]

idk if anyone can recreate this or figure out why this happens lmk

[forest otter]

Can anyone give me any advice? I'm trying to code and debug but it all feels so scary and like "I don't know what I'm doing". Please ping me if anyone responds

[silk briar]

implement base interface with kcc and return true for is validcollisions

leave all methods blank

[slow dirge]

You'll need to look at the source code, find what applies forces/velocity or moves the rb and track back to why it happens.

[near wigeon]

jesus mother of brainless slop

[slow dirge]

Learning the basics can help.

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[forest otter]

Yeah but tutorials only get you so far right? That's what people say

[near wigeon]

well you need to build a base knowledge you can work off of

[slow dirge]

Depends. If you learn how and why they do it in the tutorial, it would help you to do similar stuff yourself. Generalize, use your brain, prove that you're better than AI.
But if you're just copy pasting code, you're not gonna learn anything from it.

And by basics I mean more like theory, rather than tutorials.

[forest otter]

So I shouldn't feel like I have to resort to AI becase when I do that I feel stupid

[ashen lily]

Unity is being strange and is not letting me download the newest editor, could this be a unity issue or an issue on my end. I already completely uninstalled unity hub and reinstalled then ran as administrator. However i am still seeing this Editor unavailible message?

[worldly cave]

ideally you wouldnt use ai while actively learning

the less you use it the better and easier time you will have later on

[forest otter]

Okay thanks

[slow dirge]

It's fine to use it to rephrase and explain concepts so that they're easier to understand for you. It's not ideal to use it to do your job for you.

[forest otter]

I don't do it for that. I mean I guess I do but I MEAN to use it when I'm stuck on some code

But I suppose that is still doing the work for you

[slow dirge]

Instead of asking it to fix the issue, ask it how to debug the issue, or how to understand the error better, where to learn about it. Stuff like that.

[forest otter]

Okay

[native mirage]

Does anyone know what causes the blur after a certain distance?

[near wigeon]

anti aliasing

[native mirage]

But anti aliasing is disabled

[vivid cedar]

Isn't it mipmapping

[viral hill]

some sort of compression

[viral hill]

this isnt an anti aliasing issue

[near wigeon]

try increasing Aniso setting

[native mirage]

Maybe its a texture thing?

[native mirage]

Where

[near wigeon]

on the texture

[native mirage]

alright

Oh it worked

But I can't have it on point

[near wigeon]

wdym

[native mirage]

The filter mode needs to be bilinear or trilinear

[slow dirge]

Try disabling mipmaps

[native mirage]

Thankfully this is only noticeable on the roads

Oh it worked

Oh my god I've been working with unity for years and never noticed this

Thanks guys

[mild radish]

mipmaps.

ohh dlich already said it 👍

its b/c the texture is stretched across such a large surface (your ground plane).. if you notice the other models and tree's way farther out weren't affected.. just that stretched one

[slow dirge]

Praetor was first.

[mild radish]

found this issue pretty quickly when using grid textures on a plane

[native mirage]

Yeah I never did long distance rendering like this

[mild radish]

yea i believe praetor may be the one that told me about mipmaps

it was sooo long ago i cant be sure

[viral hill]

i was first. i thought it but didnt type it out /s

[mild radish]

Trilinear filtering and a value like 16 or so on the anisotropic* helps

i usually play a game where i answer the question to myself.. and i wait for one of code wizards to answer.. and secretly giving myself a high-five if im close

[native mirage]

I hope it doesn't tank performance because this is made for mobile

[mild radish]

and immediately trying to store that information as long term memory

[native mirage]

Oh yeah also anyone know any optmizations I can make for android?

[mild radish]

ya, use low poly models, small textures, and minor post processing 😉

[native mirage]

Ya we're working with that

[mild radish]

for code its just better to keep at it and get ur code base working completely.. and then going back and refactoring.. (just syntax and structure-wise)... once you do that it often happens that the optimizations are alot easier to spot and implement

other than that don't worry about optimizations until the time being

[native mirage]

Nono

I have to worry about optmizations

[mild radish]

you can keep it in mind that ur building for mobile..

[native mirage]

This is a paid job I'm doing
