and an option to create a custom render texture in create -> rendering -> custom render texture

[hushed hamlet]

Animations can be exported separately from the mesh. The main problem you are likely seeing is Blender export doesnt line up well with Unity and can be inconsistent without using something like Better FBX Exporter

But yes its common to export a rigged character, and set it up as humanoid on unity.

Then export animations to a separate FBX, also set to humanoid. And let it match it for you.

So that messing with animations doesnt impact your base meshes

[glossy topaz]

so i overwrite this time and it was fine

last time was tragic

[gusty matrix]

@runic solar

Accept it

My request

@runic solar

[gray frigate]

I can think of two things that could've gone wrong:

• Your second export didn't include all of the objects, so Unity lost some meshes/objects
• Your second export used the wrong "Apply Scalings" option, which would cause everything's scale to change by a factor of 100. That could make it look like your model vanished

[glossy topaz]

thanks

at least know i the workflow

[gray frigate]

Also, a handy tip: if you accidentally export an FBX with missing objects, export it again correctly and reload the current scene without saving it

[runic solar]

Leave me alone man

[gray frigate]

i've accidentally exported my VRChat model without a body or skeleton, which causes everything you've attached to it in the scene to just...fall off

whoops

[gusty matrix]

Bruh don't slander me on the server dude

I just changed accouns

[potent geyser]

Keep whatever childish drama this is off our server, and don't bother people, thanks.

[potent moss]

[south burrow]

does anyone know?

[gray frigate]

I only have a little experience with this. A Custom Render Texture lets you draw a material directly into a texture

One application is for simulations. You store data in the CRT and update it every frame.

It's simpler than using a camera to write to a normal Render Texture

[red moat]

I'm sure a Google search would reveal what it does, or the Unity documents page. Sometimes you have to do a bit of work on your own rather than hoping for a quick handout

[south burrow]

Yeah, I did look in the docs, discord is my last resort usually. I did not quite understand how it works.

The example is not making sense to me

[hushed hamlet]

Personally I don't even know, from that crop, where you found that option tbh. (I don't really use Unity's graphing solutions)

is it VFX graph? Shader graph? etc.

[south burrow]

ah, sorry, shader graph, in the graph inspector menu, look for active targets

there's a plus button

The thing that's tripping me is you can create a custom render texture in a regular shader graph but the way docs is using it, is by creating a custom render texture shader graph (seperate from unlit and lit shader graph) and using that along with custom render textures from rendering

Hello. When importing a fbx from blender to unity, the last child bone is missing.
I've googled it and found few question about this, the answer says it's because of bone roll.
But I have no problem with my bone roll.... And all the other last child bones are missing together.
Is it because of settings in unity ? I don't remember changing any options in unity tho . .... .

[gritty path]

Is this(the toe bone) still considered as a bone even if there are no octahedral thing displayed??

[red moat]

I'd say no. You have the foot bone, but the toes are amputated. There are no toe bones

[gray frigate]

look at the list of humanoid bones; is anything assigned for the toes?

[gritty path]

yes the Ankle.L.002 is toe bone, and it exists in the bone hirachy. I dropped it in the toe bone slot in humanoid, it should be there but it doesnt appear

[gray frigate]

it's in the same spot as the foot bone, then

[gritty path]

No it's there where toe bone should be... I can rotate the toe normally, But just can't see that octahedral thing . So I was confused if its normal or my unity has an error

[gray frigate]

That wouldn't stop the toe bone from working

It just means that it has no length to it

which isn't wrong (it's just weird-looking here)

[worthy lagoon]

share your craziest editor tools in thread

[gritty path]

oooo....All my end bones looks like this... (last finger bone, head bone, toe bone) Does that mean they all have zero length? but in blender, they actually had a length... guess something went wrong during exporting... Thanks for replying

[gray frigate]

Oh, right, end bones.

I was about to bring those up

[gritty path]

Thanks!!!

[gray frigate]

Blender is unique in how its bones have both a head and a tail

Unity doesn't care about the tail.

(there is no "tail" in the exported FBX: each bone is a single point)

Unless you care about the actual position of the toe-bone tail, this doesn't matter

if you do care (maybe you want to put a collider on the end), you'll need to include leaf bones or add an extra bone in Blender

[gritty path]

So if theres no child after current bone, unity doesn't show that octa thing at all>> because theres no matter where the tail ends??

[gray frigate]

Yeah. Unity only knows that the toe bone is placed at that spot.

The bone has no children

If it had a child, you'd see the octahedral shape pointing towards the child

[gritty path]

I didn't know about that .... Thank you really much... I was almost going insane.

[radiant pewter]

if it is deprecated, why does it come with the Universal 2D template?

or is this just a me issue?

[balmy kettle]

you just need to update the package. or remove it if you don't use rider

as for why it is included in a template, that's likely because at the time that template was made that regression in that package version was unknown

[gray frigate]

The template will take a bit of time to get updated

[stuck flower]

Because templates aren't updated as frequently as packages

[gray frigate]

"Deprecated" is a bit misleading here

[radiant pewter]

ah okay, thanks guys

[gray frigate]

It doesn't mean that the entire package is deprecated and obsolete

That would have confused me

i didn't know unity could even display that kind of info, actually

[radiant pewter]

me neither until moving to Unity 6 lol

a lot of nasty surprises in this version but I'll get used to it

[gray frigate]

what's wrong?

[celest oar]

Unity not accepting .net dll lib compiled in Net 6 or higher?

[sly lake]

Depends on the target. You need a dll targeting .NET standard 2.1 for it to work with Unity.

[balmy kettle]

unity supports .net framework 4.8.1 or .net standard 2.1 (or 2.0 depending on the unity version), it does not support .net 6 or higher

[sly lake]

Nuget usually offers a few different dlls

[celest oar]

Umm, well, Microsoft discontinued everything related to Net 4, I had a lot of difficulties getting dotnet to recognize it even after installing it.

[celest oar]

I'm trying to compile from source code, I'm looking for libraries about AV1F

[sly lake]

You can set the target framework in the project settings

.NET Framework 4.8 is not discontinued but you probably want Standard.

[white dawn]

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask for help about this.

I just updated my project from 2020.3.33f1 to 6000.2.7f2. I am getting this error in the unity editor, and it seems to be something wrong with the Project tab. If I close the Project tab, the errors stop coming in. When the Project tab is open, it has some odd behaviors; sometimes it will open/close the folder foldouts, sometimes it will not. It seems to be having this error when trying to render past the final object in the Project hierarchy. Has anyone encountered this error before, and regardless, does anyone have any tips for fixing this?

[potent moss]

wtf is that link

[white dawn]

There are 2 results found by taking that link you sent, which yes, I did try looking it up. neither are particularly about Unity, but talking about having written the code oneself. I have not personally changed any code in Unity when it comes to its default tabs.

[stuck flower]

A google search

[viral hill]

this is a massive jump in editor versions so i dont doubt something is horribly broken/corrupted

this is not a simple nor easy to understand error. if you actually sifted through the links provided on the google page that you sent, you'd see that they are not of much help here. no need to be an asshole for no reason

[red moat]

wasn't being an asshole, i asked if he tried to understand the issue first. Sorry if me asking questions is considered being an asshole. Won't happen again

[viral hill]

then dont be condescending and word your question as if this is something trivial. you linked an unhelpful google page after stating that they should've just googled it instead of asking here.

im sure you see the problem with telling someone to "try to understand the issue first" when you yourself dont even understand it

[red moat]

Yee master, won't happen again master. Anything else master? And exactly what are you contributing vy running your mouth to me? Nothing, it's off topic AND offensive, so practice what you preach kid

[viral hill]

i will choose to believe that you are trolling and simply block you, because otherwise, this irony is palpable.

[potent moss]

why did you even start this argument in the first place

[viral hill]

being purposefully unhelpful and condescending is not of the nature of a server that is meant to help people

[white dawn]

I'll be honest, I'm glad someone said something. Having zombie's reply be the first I've ever gotten to a question I've had on this server was... disheartening

[viral hill]

and im sorry you had to experience that. there are a few bad apples but try not to let that dissuade you from asking questions

[white dawn]

Thank you, I appreciate it!
To give a belated reply to an earlier reply you sent me, I do worry about the possible broken/corruptedness coming from the update. Besides building custom editors, I don't do much when it comes to the Unity Editor itself. might you happen to know of anything I can reset or update that could help? I've already tried resetting the layout settings, but that didn't help

[viral hill]

unfortunately, im not sure if there's much you can do given the context. it's always recommended to make a backup of your project when upgrading specifically because of these errors. if you dont have one, im not sure what to do other than reimport everything into a fresh proj.

[white dawn]

Fortunately I did make a backup! However, this will be the first Time I'm going to be trying to use a backup, so wish me luck there. I assume you would recommend reverting back to using 2020.3.33f1 for now?

[viral hill]

wdym "this will be the first Time I'm going to be trying to use a backup, so wish me luck there."? do you expect it to not work?

[white dawn]

General anxiety worrying I suppose, I apologize

[potent moss]

aren't you doing the exact same thing though?

[viral hill]

no worries. it should work with no problems

Hello. I imported my 3d model to unity. And it says there is an eye highlight mesh imported in assets, but I can't find where it is in scene. I even checked inside of the head mesh but there was nothing. If the mesh is too small, does unity hide it from you? I checked the eye mark next to the hierarchy. The eye is opened. I have no idea why it is invisible. It's supposed to look like this.

[viral hill]

select it in your hierarchy and press f while hovering over the scene view with your cursor

[gritty path]

Found it! thanks. Don't know why but it was transparent.

[thorny cape]

Not sure where to ask this. Trying to research getting cutscenes into my pixel art game. Most of the cutscenes from game I played as a kid (SNES era), had some interaction and then animation. The trial scene from Chrono Trigger for example. How can I create cutscenes with some interactivity like here? You don’t have to watch the whole video to see what I mean

these are just normal sequences. what exactly is complex about this?

I’ve never done it before. Is it a series of short videos that you pause while waiting for the user to select an option and then play until the next interaction point, rinse repeat?

[worldly cave]

they arent videos

[thorny cape]

I hadn’t heard of Sequences in Unity before. Thanks, I’ll look that up

[worldly cave]

they are done in real time

rarely if ever do games use prerendered cutscenes

apart from the newer cod titles (?)

[viral hill]

sequence is a broad term

[viral hill]

not videos, animations

[jaunty pier]

Unity doesn't do frustum culling for objects outside the view right?

for none-static objects

[balmy kettle]

unity does do frustum culling by default. it's occlusion culling that isn't done automatically

[jaunty pier]

for not-static objects?

[viral hill]

it does, and you can easily test this

[balmy kettle]

yes, any renderers not within the camera's view frustum will be culled

[jaunty pier]

is it on CPU side or GPU side?

I am rendering things using command buffer and it seems like it is not being culled despite it being outside the frustum

I guess unity does its own CPU side thinging to cull things? (since I cannot benefit from culling with command buffer)

[balmy kettle]

pretty sure it's on the CPU side

[gray frigate]

yeah

[jaunty pier]

I guess I need to implement my own culling system then

should be straight forward I think... just box vs frustum

[gray frigate]

I presume that Unity just runs whatever you put in the CommandBuffer without question.

[jaunty pier]

yup that seems like the case

[gray frigate]

Frustrum culling is done to decide which Renderers should get drawn, but there are no Renderers here!

[jaunty pier]

was that a joke?

(genuinely confused)

[gray frigate]

no, i'm just describing why there is no culling being done

[jaunty pier]

ah ha!

yes I get it now

[proven saffron]

I checked and the Tar.exe is fine? it's in my system32 folder and windows 10 is up to date

I guess i'll post again just in case. Does anyone know why the Android SDK stuff and OpenJDK fails to install? Even documentation fails to install but that's not important to this. I patched Unity version 2022.3.62f2 after deleting all my old versions (and even totally uninstalling unity hub etc) and they just constantly fail. The hub log is above this message of my most recent attempt

[exotic relic]

did you read it?

[proven saffron]

yes i did but i'd like to fix Unity Hub not being able to download it

I did just do the external stuff for now and it's working but yeah the fact unity hub fails to install this stuff is really annoying. There's gotta be a way to fix that

[near wigeon]

check the Hub logs

[proven saffron]

i posted the hub logs above

im not very good with that kinda thing though so it's gibberish to me lol

[near wigeon]

its not difficult, its in plain english, look for any indications of error/points of failure.x

[proven saffron]

still lol it's over my head

[golden cliff]

Do anyone know what I can do? I reinstall the hub and everything but it's still happening, I tried to download it from the website, I can't find this version in unity, only 6000.3.6f2 but my project is using 6000.2.6f2

[slow dirge]

Well it's clear that the issue is with the tar exe. So, the issue is I compatability of that unity hub version with your OS version.

Did you use the same windows and unity hub versions in the past to build the game?

[balmy kettle]

!install 👇

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[slow dirge]

Is your hub up to date? Perhaps updating it might help.

[hard spear]

I cant find unity AI I'm on 6.2 6000.2.9f1 it's enabled on unity website and for my project but it still no work

[glossy topaz]

do they cut the first part of the sound

[plain dagger]

who is they? unity doesnt do anything to it like that

you need to trim it elsewhere

[proven saffron]

yes until it updated last night (both windows 10 and unity hub)

how would i go about fixing my tar thing? It isn't really a thing I can just download right? I assume i'll need to do something in command prompt?

[slow dirge]

It's not really the tar fault. It just is being strict about arguments that unity passes to it that are not entirely valid.
And it's using your system installed tar, so you can't really upgrade or downgrade it. What you can do is the hub version. Update it if there are updates available. Or maybe downgrade it.
Other than that, upgrading to win 11 I guess.

[proven saffron]

i'll try to downgrade the hub version or wait for an update i guess 🙁

PC isn't compatable with windows 11 yet

[slow dirge]

Actually, updating win is not gonna help. I tried the faulty command in my environment and it fails as well.

This must really be something wrong with your hub version.

What version is it BTW?

Nevermind what I said. It does work.

So yes, the tar installed with your windows is the issue.

[lusty river]

Hey, welcome back to game development! It’s great to see you reigniting your passion.

From my experience, both Windows and macOS have their own strengths, but it really depends on what type of development you’re planning to do.

For instance, if you’ll be using engines like Unreal or Unity, Windows tends to be more optimized, especially for testing and deployment. However, your M1 MacBook is a solid choice for performance and works great if you plan to build for iOS or cross-platform projects.

I’ve been actively working in this space and could help you get set up again with the latest tools, workflows, or optimization tips if you’d like. What kind of projects are you planning to start with?

[slow dirge]

But it could also be that this command is different between hub versions.

I think the game used Game Director. The script told the game where to move the character, what animations to perform, what sound to play, how to move the camera. It had to be modular so you could add behaviors based on the user's progress. The Game Director also had control over the entire character progression, such as which weapons or characters they possessed.

So you have to keep that in mind before just animating from the Timeline. In short, your game has to be modular enough to allow the Game Director to manipulate behaviors.

ok thank you, may someone please try to wonder throuhg my problem the link to my code is here: https://paste.mod.gg/eowoxughonaw/0

[unreal jewel]

that makes no sense

[keen bolt]

no im speed typing so i can reply fast

[alpine void]

problme ^

i do not want to cause any problem chris and other moderators thank you

[keen bolt]

im saying i cant start coding so if i learn anything i cant test it

[unreal jewel]

maybe take some time to read what you said before sending it

[polar basalt]

no one needs fast replies, calm down

[storm patio]

there are currently no moderators here, i'm not a moderator

[unreal jewel]

then learn to code, there are a lot of free resources

[alpine void]

sorry i mean you, intellicual, intelligent human begins 🙂

[storm patio]

what's the issue you're referring to exactly? the sinking into the ground?

[alpine void]

no my chraacter (enemy one) is just spawning and walking on the roof

when i want it to be on the ground

and even when i delete the roof its still wlaking on it some how

its like its ragebaiting me

[keen bolt]

if i learn something i want to test it not just have it in my head for months whiile i try to fix my problem and if u see alot of i its because my keyboard sucks

[storm patio]

make sure its collider is in the right place

[polar basalt]

then learn stuff by actually making stuff?

its not so hard

[alpine void]

it is

its on the ground and no touching the roof

[polar basalt]

agent offset?

[alpine void]

may i request what that means?

[polar basalt]

look on the agent component

[keen bolt]

i cant because i set my code thing to opera and i cant switch it to a actual coding tool so now i fysically cant

[polar basalt]

send a photo of that

[storm patio]

wayy up here #💻┃unity-talk message

[storm patio]

you were told already how to change it

[alpine void]

simple marius this is my agent component (i belive this is what you want)

[storm patio]

@keen bolt by "set my code thing to opera", do you mean you selected opera to open .cs files from the finder/file explorer?

[polar basalt]

try change base offset to 0

and see what happens

[alpine void]

ok i will try that

[keen bolt]

yes yes u understand

[storm patio]

just rightclick and change the app then

or open the file from unity's project window

[polar basalt]

ide is prob not set up

so he has to go in file explorer or smth

[keen bolt]

after i right click iit which do i press

[storm patio]

open with

this is a basic windows thing

[alpine void]

hi simple marius and chris, when i changed the base offest to 0 the cylinder thingi in the scene view disapeared as well as the model came down and now you can see it inthe game view

[keen bolt]

ok 1sec

[storm patio]

you can google this

"change default app windows" or whatever

[alpine void]

sorry or chris

[storm patio]

make sure your mesh is in the right place. make sure the tool is set to pivot mode

in scene view, there might be a box saying 'center' in the top left

change it to pivot

[alpine void]

the tool is now changed to pivot, and this is what it looks like

[keen bolt]

there is no open with option

[alpine void]

and appologies the cylinder hasnst gone it was just above and i didnt see

[alpine void]

my character is placed on the floor

[storm patio]

so seems like your mesh is what's offset, and it's not actually on the ground

your mesh is on the floor

your character is not

[alpine void]

oohhh

thats interesting

[storm patio]

offset the mesh upwards and pull the actual object back down

[balmy kettle]

just to confirm, your issue lies in trying to open the code files from within your operating system's file explorer and not within Unity, right?

[alpine void]

i thought the character was the mesh?

[alpine void]

ok

[storm patio]

no, the mesh is just the visuals of the character

[keen bolt]

i believe

[alpine void]

im a littl confused with what the mesh and character is, ? the mesh is the black character that i see in the scene view? should i move that up

[balmy kettle]

so you are looking at your OS file explorer right now, not the unity editor, right?

[storm patio]

what you see as the tool's position is the actual position of the character

[keen bolt]

no im in unity

[storm patio]

the mesh right now is under the character

[balmy kettle]

then congrats, you've completely ignored the answer to your issue for five days because it's still this: #💻┃code-beginner message

[keen bolt]

wiich link do i press

[alpine void]

chris, i am so sorry but i dont understand, i will try my hardest so please dont leave, when i look under my character there is nothing

[storm patio]

so first pull the actual object down, and then move the mesh upwards to match where the object is (if the mesh is a separate child object - if not, make it a child so you can position it correctly)

[alpine void]

so im confused when you say the mesh is under the character

[balmy kettle]

-# whoops forgot to hit reply

[alpine void]

ok

let me try

[balmy kettle]

man i feel like i already answered this somewhere . . .

-# #💻┃code-beginner message

[alpine void]

like this i understand what you mean by mesh now its the cube that has the skiined mesh renderer

[storm patio]

notice how your sphererenderer is offset by -0.83 Y
that means it's under the actual object

[alpine void]

OMG that is the best photo

that helps me ok thank you

let me try it

[keen bolt]

had to edit a whole ass image just to show but ii shouldnt be judging i sorta dumb

[storm patio]

buddy you can't even accurately describe your own issue

maybe stop spamming irrelevent stuff and focus on your own thing

[alpine void]

chris im sorry but when i press the mesh it shows the arrows (red green and blue) and then i move it down but the character doesnt come with it, and then when i move the cylinder the character moves

[storm patio]

is the mesh on the same object as the navagent

what's your hierarchy setup

[alpine void]

so i have the game enemy character, and then a cube and the cube when i click on it says that it has a skinned mesh renderer, and in the game enemy character i have all the components like the code, nav mesh agent and etc

[alpine void]

ill sen

[storm patio]

none of those are cubes btw. the cube icon just means gameobject

[alpine void]

[storm patio]

make sure that Cube.001 is selected when you move your mesh upwards

[alpine void]

ok, i am doing this right?

[storm patio]

yeah

[alpine void]

hi chris, i sent a video showing yourprocess, can you please check if im doing it correctly because it didnt work

also it seems that maybe its not going past that point so is there something like stopping it?

[storm patio]

ah shoot it's a mesh prefab thing

[alpine void]

yes my partner made it in blender andi add it

sorry for nto informing

[storm patio]

might have to make a separate parent object with the rigidbody and such and have the entire asset as a child

[balmy kettle]

seems like the pivot point for the mesh is way off (which is something that should ideally be fixed in blender)

[alpine void]

hmmm this is very hard and annoying becuase my friend has like fixed it sooooo many times in blender and we just have to keep on re doing it

but thats shouganai

[alpine void]

should i try this ?

or is the blender thing most likely the issue

[brazen kindle]

does anyone know how to stop this sort of flickering? I have tried mipmapping, AA, nothing I do really gets it working. I have to do really aggressive billboarding to deal with it, like 50 meters.

I am not sure if its something to do with sub pixel textures, but I would have imagined mipmapping sorts that. The same flickering happens when I rotate my camera on stationary meshes

[leaden tiger]

[alpine void]

hello sorry would the help still be avalible?

hi chris

[storm patio]

do you actually have a question or are you just mentioning people for the sake of it

https://dontasktoask.com

[alpine void]

no its the question i asked before

remember

[storm patio]

then say so

we are not psychic

[alpine void]

ok

[storm patio]

i do not remember, and likely few will

[alpine void]

it was about my enemy character and how to do this step

or if like box said its a blender problem?

[storm patio]

which part of that do you have trouble understanding

[alpine void]

you said make a separate parent object

but my parent is the prefab of the character

so r u saying to redo it all again in blender?

remake the mode

[storm patio]

make an object that's a parent of that

[alpine void]

oh, and i position it inside of the character, and move all the components on the character to that object? do i make it seeable

[storm patio]

and i position it inside of the character
no, it's a parent. you'd position the character inside it

move all the components on the character to that object
yes

do i make it seeable
no clue what you mean by that. that's not a thing you can do

[alpine void]

the eye icon

because if i place the character inside of the cube you cant see the character

[storm patio]

that just hides the object in scene view

[storm patio]

make sure to actually adjust the offset so it's not way below the actual pivot

[alpine void]

ok let me try

[alpine void]

when i move all the components to this empty parent object

does the movement still work

because i had movement codes on this character and a navmesh to like folow the player

[grizzled pendant]

dont know what to do

i need help please

[balmy kettle]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[grizzled pendant]

ty man

[storm patio]

do you have custom editor stuff?

[grizzled pendant]

again... im stuck

not sure?

[storm patio]

then probably not

it's probably an internal issue then

try restarting, if it comes back, perhaps try a library reset

also, what version of unity are you on?

[grizzled pendant]

im on marrow sdk so 2021.3.16f1

[storm patio]

oooo it may be an issue with that then

[grizzled pendant]

ill try restart

see what happens

[storm patio]

is this a modding thing?

[grizzled pendant]

yeah....

[alpine void]

how do i copy component

and paste

[grizzled pendant]

restart worked, seemed so simple

[storm patio]

unfortunately we can't really help with that here, for legal and practical reasons
the context of modding can sometimes bring issues that wouldn't happen in normal unity development

if it persists after a restart and a library reset (the basic steps), you'll have to ask in a community dedicated for that sdk

[alpine void]

lol nice

[alpine void]

i did

but i cant paste

[storm patio]

3 dots -> copy component
3 dots -> paste component as new

[alpine void]

i wanna add

[grizzled pendant]

gosh i hate myself.

[storm patio]

click the 3 dots on the transform

[brazen kindle]

im coping with TAA

[alpine void]

oh i did it thanks

[alpine void]

ok chris i did this step what do i do now it it the same

also im confused on what that means

[storm patio]

about what, exactly

you gotta adjust the mesh asset upwards

[alpine void]

oh like this acutal value?

[storm patio]

no, the transform

[alpine void]

but whne i do that

the character isnt moving

its just like the arrows are moving up

[storm patio]

of the asset, not of the mesh itself

i shouldve been more specific

[alpine void]

wdym asset

[storm patio]

the one you had as the parent before

[alpine void]

oh

yeah i did that

let me see if it work

ok it didnt work

but i have a proposal

could it be something to do with this

like it looks like theres a boundary that he cant go under

lik ehes scare of the floor or something

[storm patio]

it may be all that repositioning of the mesh you did

it's probably just on the floor

but the mesh is, again, offset

look at the scene view to actually see what's going on

[alpine void]

hmm shall i screen share to you so you see if im doing it correctly

i believe that i am not

thank you for staying with me for so long

ill send record

as you can see the gizmos (arrow) of the mest and asset are at the same place

[storm patio]

so your gameobject isn't actually on the floor

[alpine void]

its not a gameobject

its just empty on

one

[storm patio]

it's a gameobject.

[alpine void]

hw do i know if it sone the floor

if its an empty one

[storm patio]

look at the pivot

where the tool gizmos are

[alpine void]

like this

[storm patio]

still not on the ground, but closer

again, your rigidbody and asset are offset downwards

[alpine void]

im confused how its not on the ground

is it like this?

[alpine void]

offset downwards

[storm patio]

ah wait i was looking at the navmeshagent before

[storm patio]

seems like it was on the ground here, and your navmeshagent is also offset upwards

[alpine void]

ok

may you explain the terms offset upwards/downwards??

and does that affect it?

hmmm it didnt work

[copper gust]

offset refers to something being a different value relative to another of the same kind, in this case position.
in this screenshot im guessing your player centre is that bottom circle but the centre of your navmeshagent component is "offset upwards" as it's higher relative to the centre it's related to

[void flume]

can someone fix my pong game

im kinda new to unity

[twin kraken]

Which room can we showcase the prototypes and get suggestions in this dc?

[alpine void]

its not working

and now my nav mesh is not working

omfg im so angry

[woeful spear]

What to select here?

[storm patio]

#1180170818983051344

[storm patio]

the platform you want to build for

[woeful spear]

PC

[storm patio]

that would be windows then - or if you're currently on windows, then "current platform" would also be windows

[alpine void]

chris

[woeful spear]

OK I'll leave it as default

[upper sinew]

quite simple question.
I see -DWR in some places like: https://ask.vrchat.com/t/unity-error-2022-3-6f1-dwr-242dcc0db167/23837
Does this mean some kind of custom build of Unity or something?

why they cancel world building tools and behaviour graph

if you cancel why not open source since u not going to make it 😐

community can finish ur task

[latent meadow]

Annoying internal Unity error and the odd fix

[sly lake]

Depends how much it can be finished without modifying the closed source engine.

I know terrain would at least need more PhysX stuff to be exposed to work as a module.

Behaviour graph is out, no?

[ancient hull]

it's my first time using unity but I'm unable to start a project. each time i try and start one it doesn't open and shows me this, and then i cant access said project because it just disappears from my 'projects' and i don't know what to do ☹️

[strong adder]

is it possible to lock the cursor at a certain position on the screen and not just the middle

[ocean pumice]

Is there a specific reason to do so?

[strong adder]

im my level editor you can look around by holding rightclick but this still moves the cursor and i dont want it to move

and i also dont want it to snap to the middle (or change position at all)

[ocean pumice]

So you cant control the cursor of the system, if that is what you are trying to achieve.

Oh wait, you can with the new input system actually

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Mouse.html

[ocean pumice]

But if you lock the cursor to a position, does that not kill your "look around" mechanic?

[strong adder]

no because the mouse still moves it just gets reset to the original posiiton (same with setting the cursorlockstate to locked)

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, never used the lock cursor at all in all those years. Good to know, it still updated the position in the background. Well than for desktoip platforms, warping will be your method I guess

[ocean pumice]

Where did you Install the Hub? And did you try to start it as admin (been some time for me on windows, but that helped in certain situations)

[ancient hull]

i used the unity website, and i dont know how to start it as admin

[ocean pumice]

Right click on your unity hub exe or app icon and run as admin. But using unity website does not install the hub. But as you seem to not set any specific target, it might just have been installed into /Program Files/ or what its called

[ancient hull]

i ran it as admin and it did the same thing, also my app icon is named unity hub but idk if thats different, im very new to this

[ocean pumice]

Hm, never had that issue, sorry. Did you google the issue already?

[unreal jewel]

try reinstalling the template?

maybe it got corrupted somehow

[ancient hull]

not yet, i didnt know how to word it properly when the issue first happened

[ocean pumice]

"unity windows Failed to resolve project template" might already be enough

[ancient hull]

wait it was installed into program files does that do something

[ocean pumice]

Thats fine, program files is the default destination, but sometimes people drop simple software into downloads folder or similar which will break them or stop them from working correctly

[shrewd geyser]

Anybody had the same issue with Animator?

there's no link, no grid, you can't pan ... or zoom

Unity 6000.0.60f1

... ok resetting the layout works again 😅
I have the sensation that UMotion could be involved on the issue as I mention on his forum. 🙄

[strong fable]

if I want to work with vertices of a mesh I need read/write enabled. is there a way to have this only enabled in the editor? I can enable it, do some stuff and then disable but it would be nice if this could be achieved without the extra hassle.

[ocean pumice]

Why not just leave it on?

[ocean pumice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mesh.UploadMeshData.html

[strong fable]

if I understand correctly it will keep a copy of all the mesh data on the cpu when the object is loaded. I guess its not crazy amounts of data but I dont need it at runtime.

[plain dagger]

In editor you can get the ModelImporter for the asset to change these settings whenever you want
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/ModelImporter.html

[strong fable]

this is it I guess

[ocean pumice]

Ah, but thats just runtime. reread the docs

So robs answer is the most feasable. Set it by code when changing and reset to false when done changing the mesh.

[stiff quest]

you can just re-add animator window

[strong fable]

ah so basically when I have an editor script or smth I'd use this in Start to get access to the mesh data?

[plain dagger]

well you probably dont want to modify this during play mode but you can get an assets importer to modify its import settings in code.

Id question what you are doing to only need this during play mode in editor...

The docs state that mesh data can always be read in editor outside of play mode:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/ModelImporter-isReadable.html

[strong fable]

for a destruction system I'd like to write a script that breaks apart a full mesh into smaller meshes that correspond to the bones driving them. so basically arm bone -> arm mesh. once I have those meshes I dont need access anymore.

[plain dagger]

Then outside of play mode you can produce this data

but if you want to generate this at runtime always then you would have to load the mesh and destroy it when done (and have read/write on)

[strong fable]

oh damn thats good to know

ty very much🙏 problem solved

[copper gust]

but you could use it again in the future!

will you? no

but you could 😄

[slow dirge]

Write a new script that does the same thing with slight changes.

[copper gust]

if only iteration always meant improvements 😭

[slow dirge]

• a few new bugs.

[deep cradle]

I have a weird bug where the speed of everything is sometimes doubled and this only happens in the build

also if I tab out of the game and play the unity project it fixes

[slow dirge]

Sounds like frame rate dependency

[deep cradle]

It also sometimes fixes when reloading the game it’s 50/50

[deep cradle]

Okay I will see about that Ty

[shrewd geyser]

Nope wasn't enough

[sterile moon]

hey guys

does anyone know how to fix a problem with dragging sprites into the animator?

it says sprite renderer or movement

and not let me drag my sprite in

[deep cradle]

You need to make an animation clip first and then you can drag your sprites in

[plush oyster]

Unity 6.2 URP has the LevelPlay and InAppPurchasing packages allocating GC every frame in my editor... The funny part is, I don't have neither of these packages installed.

it keeps going until my Unity crashes, skyrocketing the memory constantly

[sly lake]

The menu item 🙂

But that can't be it, because it's managed memory. It wouldn't leak.

[plush oyster]

Why does a button on the menu creates 8kb and sometimes even 15kb of gc alloc per frame

the memory profile shows all the extra memory as "untracked", I have no clue what's causing this for real hm

[plain dagger]

Well clearly you do but perhaps there is a bug in "in app purchasing" or levelplay

Levelplay is the new name for ironsource

[plush oyster]

They don't show as part of the project at all, I also can't find any files related to it on the packages directory

[torpid moat]

I'm trying to create my own template script so I'm not stuck with Unity's annoying default script.
I have created the file 01-C# Script-NewMonoBehaviourScript.cs.txt in Assets/ScriptTemplates
It shows up in the create menu, but all the way at the bottom. What can I do to make it show at the top? I also tried starting the file with other numbers like 80 and 001, but those didn't work. Yes I'm restarting Unity between tries.

[deft rock]

If you want, you can edit the default ones in C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\<unity install>\Editor\Data\Resources\ScriptTemplates

That way it's there and ready for every project you create with that version of Unity, and the place in the create menu doesn't change

If what you've done is create a template specifically for that project, then, I dunno and you won't want to do the above

[azure grove]

if its just you want a different default i would go with Carwashes suggestion, if you need multiple types of script and templates for them i would be tempted to not have untiy make them but define my own MenuItem so i can take more control over ordering

[torpid moat]

It said I wasn't allowed to change that file

[bold yarrow]

Hey, anybody really familiar with foot ik and animation rigging?

[deft rock]

was Unity open at the time?

[deft rock]

Don't ask to ask, just ask the question you have - but ask in #🏃┃animation

[torpid moat]

I have closed Unity and Unity Hub and I still got this error.

[willow goblet]

I dont have disc on the laptop

[balmy kettle]

then it's a good thing that discord is also a website you can use to share screenshots with. nobody wants to try to read out of focus photographs of your screen

[mild radish]

what is this

[balmy kettle]

but, if you don't want to take a screenshot and would rather only share photographs of your screen then I have a solution for you

[willow goblet]

This is not my pc, but the person let me use it for unity cause my pc died

[storm patio]

guest windows exist

[balmy kettle]

and discord is still a website

[willow goblet]

Tried downloading it off of a site, didn't work, it keeps failing

[willow goblet]

And i still don't want to log in and remember my password and everything if i can just take a pic

[balmy kettle]

oh in that case, this is all you have to do. glad we got your problem solved 👍

[willow goblet]

Ty

[storm patio]

help us help you. photos of screens are just inherently bad ways to give information, unless you want to show cracks or damage or glitching of the screen itself, in which case, wouldn't really be related to unity anymore

there is an expectation of effort on your end to give usable information that's necessary for us to be able to help you

[willow goblet]

Ir says that there is no editor download available, and i need an editor to... Well edit. And it worked on my pc before it broke, so why doesn't it work here

I did everything the same and it changed for some reason

[storm patio]

is it connected to the internet, have you tried restarting

[willow goblet]

I'll try to login to discord, but idk if i can

[willow goblet]

The laptop or unity?

[storm patio]

the unity hub, and if that doesn't work, the laptop

Getting this warning in the console immediately after opening a fresh HDRP 3D Sample project: Missing types referenced from component HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings on game object HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings:
UnityEngine.Rendering.UnifiedRayTracing.RayTracingRenderPipelineResources, Unity.UnifiedRayTracing.Runtime (1 object)

Is this a big deal or no?

[willow goblet]

Ty it works now

[storm patio]

try restarting, if it persists, it might be something to worry about

[sacred jetty]

Restarted and its still there. Must say that doesn't instill confidence lol...

[mental gale]

Guys, how can I solve this error?

[gray frigate]

what are you trying to do that's causing this error?

[gray frigate]

This means that Unity can't find the UnityEngine.Rendering.UnifiedRayTracing.RayTracingRenderPipelineResources class. You don't have any compile errors, right?

[zinc crest]

Guys, what can i do with that? My project dont pixels, but in camera and in play all pixels? Pls help me i cant find info in Internet.....

[gray frigate]

make sure your Game View is not scaled up

it's a slider at the top of the game view

[mild radish]

try creating a clean/new global settings asset

• go to Edit > Project Settings > HDRP Global Settings
• in the Inspector look for the asset HDRenderPipelineGlobalSettings
• click Reset or New button at the top of that field

or

• Open Package Manager
• Enable Preview Packages (gear icon > Advanced)
• search and install com.unity.rendering.unifiedraytracing
• Restart Unity

[gray frigate]

i can't actually find a class by this name, though...

[mild radish]

i think its a preview package https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@17.3/manual/UnifiedRayTracing/unified-ray-tracing-api.html

[gray frigate]

it only comes up in this random page in the manual https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@17.4/manual/UnifiedRayTracing/create-ray-tracing-context.html

[zinc crest]

Scale is 1.5 but that Pixels

[gray frigate]

Anything other than 1x will look pixellated

This is an editor-only thing. It lets you zoom in on the game view

[zinc crest]

but there is no value in Unity that is less than 1.5

[mild radish]

change ur Aspect Ratio if need be

[gray frigate]

try changing it to Free Aspect

[mild radish]

there at the top of the Game-view window

[gray frigate]

i'm not sure what would stop you from changing the scale to 1x; i have seen that before

[zinc crest]

Its on free Aspect yet

but its dont help

[balmy kettle]

change it to a specific aspect ratio then. if it still persists then your windows display settings likely include being scaled higher

[mild radish]

ya, it may need to be higher than 1x to fill the window

[gray frigate]

If "Low Resolution Aspect Ratios" is not grayed out, make sure it is not checked

[mild radish]

try setting it to 16:9 or w/e oh and that too ^

[gray frigate]

If it's grayed out, it's not relevant

[crisp jasper]

I have cars in my scene in unity that drive around my roads with navmesh moving from waypoint to waypoint but I'm struggling to get them to stay in lanes and respect what side of the road they drive on.

Currently I use a raycast out of the left side of the car that detects the curb and then chooses one of three values i have set as an offset from the curb but as you can see it makes them a bit wobbly and makes cornering look super weird.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on getting them to stay in the lanes and on the correct side of the road while moving about the navmesh?

[gray frigate]

You can use NavMesh.Raycast to find an edge of the navigation mesh. You could use that to adjust the waypoints themselves

This would be easiest if you could ask "which way is forward?" for any point on the road

that way, you could raycast left and right to find the limits, then slide your destination along that line

[crisp jasper]

Is this going to cause issues if the waypoint is offset and multiple cars are heading towards it from multiple directions/lanes?

[gray frigate]

Are cars meant to drive to a specific spot, or are they just trying to drive a specific distance down the road?

here's what I'm envisioning

you ask the cars to reach that line

You could do this for many corners, too. You'd manually calculate a path. For each corner in the path, you would figure out the line that spans the road, then slide the corner along that line based on the lane you want to bein

[crisp jasper]

basically i have waypoints at junctions that have "follow on" waypoints assigned to them. For example car reaches Waypoint A and selects from Waypoint B, C and D to choose which way it turns. (I have a few other waypoints which just stop the cars following the shortest route and turning around in the middle of the road)
It's essentially to just make the world feel like there are cars driving around .

[crisp jasper]

I did consider making lane based waypoints but I already have about 140 waypoints and then there are 6 lanes and a lot of waypoints have 4 leading ones which would make it a lot of work for me to go through.

[plain dagger]

I did a road waypoint thing ages ago. I made sub nodes that could only be entered via a certain direction. It let me keep cars on the correct side of the road (2 lanes only)

[plain dagger]

This meant each main node had 8 sub nodes

[gray frigate]

a directed graph!

navigation meshes are often non-directed, but this is a great place to use directed edges

[plain dagger]

Ah I didn't know it had a name

I just kinda made it up at the time to solve the problem

[crisp jasper]

I should mention I am super beginner at this stuff. this is my first attempt at a game that isnt an endless runner or pong haha

[gray frigate]

You would not need multiple "sub-waypoints" here

Each waypoint would be defined by two things:

• A position
• A direction

You'd just need to rotate your existing waypoints, really!

You could also make this "lane" behavior optional. You'd have two kinds of waypoints

• "Point": a specific point that the car must drive exactly onto
• "Line": a line that the car must cross

When a car decides to go to a waypoint, it would calculate a position to go to

For a Point, it would just go to the waypoint with no extra thought

for a Line, it would use its lane number to decide where along the line to go to

[crisp jasper]

i feel like if my waypoints were lines that would solve a lot of my issue anyway because the cars wouldnt be trying to be pinpoint accurate in trying to drive over whats esentially a tiny spot haha.

Okay I'm going to go and have a fiddle around with all of this new knowledge. thank you guys.

[graceful wedge]

is there a way to disable this wird noise shadow?

[plain dagger]

Makes sense to me. My thing used the main nodes to find the path and then based on the direction of entry(or exit) picked the sub node for the actual position for the car use

[plain dagger]

It's the ambient occlusion post effect

Find your volume or default volume settings and tweak/remove

[graceful wedge]

don't have that

[balmy kettle]

SSAO being on be default strikes again

[lapis gate]

it's hidden in the rendering pipeline asset

no clue why they added override options in that honestly

[plain dagger]

How many people have complained about it now...

[frosty pilot]

It in redrer features

[graceful wedge]

wheres that?

[frosty pilot]

In renderer

[lapis gate]

actually it's not even part of native PP effects even in the rendering asset. It's a custom fullscreen shader

[graceful wedge]

in the camera?

[frosty pilot]

In pipeline settings asset

[graceful wedge]

idk where that is

[frosty pilot]

In project files

[lapis gate]

it's there but you need to open the PC_Renderer from the asset directory

[graceful wedge]

thanks

[mental gale]

I just open the Unity and the error shows already

Even new projects

[gray frigate]

Any chance your computer's clock is way off?

The error is happening when Unity tries to connect to a website

It's complaining that the site's TLS certificate is expired. That can happen if your clock is wrong

[gray frigate]

it's the extreme size combined with the blue-noise smoothing

it looks really bad when you get up close to it

[crisp jasper]

Ive noticed the issue but i aint about to complain about it. I'm trying to block out good gameplay before i try to make anything visually pleasing.

[sly lake]

Does URP not have a good ambient occlusion implementation?

[gray frigate]

You can adjust it to make it look a lot more reasonable

The defaults are pretty aggressive

The default settings make sense if you're looking at things from far away

(and everything is in motion, so that the blue noise pattern isn't so obvious)

[lapis gate]

most screen space stuff looks terrible IMO

I'll give pass to bloom cause it makes my particles pop ;)

[gray frigate]

we love bloom

some VRChat worlds have zero bloom and it makes my hot surfaces look so lame

[sly lake]

GTAO isn't so bad. Sure, it has the artifacts but it adds so much depth to a scene

Especially the tiny things like foliage

Amplify has a free implementation floating around, apparently:

Chat, are there any interesting and good Unity tutorials on youtube? For beginners

[storm patio]

probably

you can search for tutorials in youtube if that's what you prefer

[valid gale]

I really heard of it in a good way, thanks

wasnt sure tho

[sterile moon]

my game works fine in unity but once i build it, the sprites arent in the game

and neither is my background

[potent geyser]

Either:

1. You're loading the wrong scene as the default one (check your build settings)
2. Your sprites are all sitting at the same z-position as your camera and it just happens that in a build it's not rendering them (move them forward)

[sterile moon]

sorry, how do i check my build settings?

do you mean this?

i only have one scene..

also when i make my build my movement dosent work and my scripts for enemy isnt working like its supposed to either

[potent geyser]

Did you not think to also include that in your initial issue?

Make a developer build so you have access to the console and see if there are any runtime errors. There probably are, which is preventing the game from running entirely, hence the sprites not even loading.

[stable sky]

How can I give Stone_02 a collision?

[plain dagger]

You don't add it like this

[stable sky]

I mean

[lost flume]

if you have a prefab of stone_02. just add a collider to that?

[topaz talon]

The new unity hub update made it so that it shows the project name instead of the folder name. I am used to the folder name, so how do I switch it back. Lol, there was no reason for this change but ok.

[plain dagger]

terrain details arent meant to have collision

i think anyway 🤔
trees are different, they inherit the colliders from the prefab used

[lost flume]

but yea this is a good point lol

[lapis gate]

details are just prefabs

it's the grass/foliage that you don't have colliders

[copper gust]

this is not what the docs say

[lapis gate]

pretty sure I've had it working with collision

[copper gust]

pretty sure rob is right but also tree is just a loose term, anything can be a tree

[lapis gate]

or maybe I used trees instead and used rocks lel

[copper gust]

The Terrain collider only generates colliders for Prefabs that you add with the Tree Brush. It does not generate colliders for Prefabs that you add with the Details Brush, because the Details Brush only renders a Prefab’s Mesh, and not its colliders. If you want something on the Terrain GameObject
 to have a collider, use the Trees brush to add it.

Unity only generates Tree Prefab colliders at runtime, so they only appear in the Physics Debug collider Geometry view at runtime.

[lapis gate]

ah ok yeah. You'd use tree brush but using rocks instead. The details though I think you'd use over the foliage if you wanted a specific shader instead of using the terrain grass shader it applies

So the prefab has a collider, but it doesn't apply to Terrain

[copper gust]

as mentioned earlier, you'd have to place them via the tree brush

[south summit]

can someone help me with this? 🙁

[south summit]

ok ok solved

[shadow heron]

@south summit next time don't spam in the chat. If someone knows how to fix your issue they will help

[south summit]

The reason I'm hysterical is because I came from another engine asking the same question about a problem I was having and how to solve it. I spent a month trying to find a solution, and you know the worst part? No one answered me, or they did answer me but they weren't coherent

I hope you have compassion for me

[potent moss]

does anyone maybe know why my UI instantly implodes the second another player joins my multiplayer session? I assume it has something to do with my UI manager --> https://blazebin.io/tbzgyoxqmswl/0 but I don't rly know how to fix it

idk if I'm somehow supposed to grab and set each players UI elements individually or something but yeah

[balmy kettle]

that video that consists mostly of you typing in discord is really helpful at knowing wtf you are referring to

[potent moss]

sorry wait I'll get a better one rq

[potent moss]

here

idrk where to even start, the UI just doesn't show up for the second player and also random ghosts that mirror each players inputs appear randomly

[tardy hedge]

If you select the error message that pops up in the console at 0:20 what does the rest of it say?

It seems to fire right after the join action

[tardy hedge]

Unfortunate. I'm not knowledgeable enough to help with the trace through the Library. Sorry, I'm less familiar with Unity's new multiplayer setup.

[stuck flower]

Yeah, looks like there's a null reference exception in a function called SetButtonActive which might be why your button is not getting set to active.

[hexed path]

Anyone recommend a Unity Meetup (as in meetup.com) group that meets on Zoom?

[haughty pendant]

I'm having a problem with Unity's rigidbody, I'm not able to make the player interact with an object with physics.
can anyone help me pls?

[balmy kettle]

you should check out the docs for OnControllerColliderHit to see how it is recommended to use it for pushing rigidbodies
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.OnControllerColliderHit.html

[haughty pendant]

Thx

[formal cedar]

does anyone know how Can I create low poly maps in blender or unity?

like this

[tender patio]

for Blender there are a lot of tutorials on Youtube

the terrain yeah idk really but I am sure there are some tutorials

[formal cedar]

i found some but there are too low poly i need smthing like this but idk how to make

[inland river]

art school, technical skills are tutorialized on YouTube, then lots of practice

[stuck flower]

You go through the blender tutorials and apply the knowledge to creating your own thing instead of just making exactly what the tutorial does

[tender patio]

can someone give me a good tutorial for rigidbody movement ? I am going insane with what I see on Youtube, I tried the new Input but doesnt work for me

[formal cedar]

Ok thankyou guys

[haughty pendant]

I tried to wrap my head around the code and replicate it in my project in a bunch of different ways, but none of them worked. I even added a Debug.Log to see if it detects the player colliding with the object, but got nothing :(

[balmy kettle]

show the code (in a code channel)

[haughty pendant]

ok

[inland river]

Depending on what your goals are, this might be the tutorial/example you need. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131

[tender patio]

I want to make pick up and throwing

[haughty pendant]

i send on #💻┃code-beginner

[tender patio]

I have a character controller but doesnt have physics duhh so I am trying to see more things

[inland river]

Then that won’t help. Maybe ask something specific with code in #💻┃code-beginner

[tender patio]

I learnt some timer and health things with colliders so I want to make a simple game with an enemy this week

with the pick up and throwing system too

[shadow heron]

You mind sharing where you got this from?

How to Set Input

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

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

[potent moss]

does anybody know what could possibly cause this weirdass multiplayer behaviour?
(probably mute the video before playing sorry)

[potent moss]

fixed, something about me misplacing some UI stuff, doesn't rly seem to have done anything about this though ^^

no idea what I'm even supposed to be fixing here cuz the project isn't even throwing any errors

[bleak robin]

What do you guys think about the newer input system

Im still not sure about it

Seems fiddly everything just takes longer

[potent geyser]

It's not new anymore. And it works fine.

It makes multiple maps and support for different controller types infinitely easier.

[bleak robin]

Its not new but ive still not really got into it

I get its easier for controler support but it was nice just putting inputs into script and having it work there and then

[plain dagger]

you can still directly read and hard code specific inputs from devices like keyboard and mouse

But hopefully you understand thats shit for the end user and you as a developer

[lapis gate]

yeah, no time for the consumer. Legacy 4ever

[plain dagger]

input system provides a better system to define actions with multiple source device buttons/triggers

but well most beginners just want to do a simple check like if(SpacePressed()) and not think about it anymore

[lapis gate]

I mean what was hard with making your own input manager and just mapping keys in a dict previously

[plain dagger]

well yea you could do it yourself and waste all that time 😆

but unity thankfully decided to improve what the engine should already do

[lapis gate]

doesn't even eliminate polling stuff that requires continuous input which you still need to do in update

[plain dagger]

no the new system does provide events we can sub to

which i am glad to see

[lapis gate]

it has some utility for when pressed and when unpressed, but doesn't get around stuff like say dragging with touch/mouse controls

[unreal jewel]

tbh that's my favourite part about it, I hate having to poll inputs in update

[plain dagger]

cant you have an action that responds to mouse delta change/stick input?

[shadow heron]

It's amazing, especially adding controller support! Way easier

[bleak robin]

I think I need more time with it

[lapis gate]

May be some methods for it but I recall having to continuously check in update as those basic events don't do enough for that unless say you want to know when you press and release. You can probably be fine with IDragHandler and other features though

[bleak robin]

Ive been thinking about just switching back to the old one

[lapis gate]

If you're doing a small project then stick with legacy IMO

you want nice looking code and cross-platform/control support go 'new' input

[stuck flower]

If you've ever written a custom keybind menu in both systems you'll understand why the new input system exists

[bleak robin]

I only make small stuff I normally go on unity when im bored make one feature then never do anything with it

[lapis gate]

people been making games without these fancy events systems decades before

[leaden tiger]

im not sure what im doing wrong here
plus this is my first time with unity and making a model in blender

[stuck flower]

People were making games without engines for decades before. The whole reason Unity exists is to make the shit jobs easier so the fun stuff is what's left

[bleak robin]

Is that error in blender or unity

[leaden tiger]

unity

[bleak robin]

And the model poses fine in blender?

Nothing weird

[leaden tiger]

nope

other than the model which was an easy fix

[bleak robin]

Have you tried re exporting it

[leaden tiger]

yep, way too many times

[bleak robin]

Lets ask chat gpt

[leaden tiger]

that didnt help either to me

but sure

[bleak robin]

Theres not like a very small typo somewhere

[leaden tiger]

nope

[bleak robin]

Something about bone Hiararchy

[leaden tiger]

i checked

maybe...

[bleak robin]

Tried just getting the model banging the pre made human rig on it no need yo line it up and seeing if unity still freaks out?

[leaden tiger]

ill try

[bleak robin]

strange

I hate rigging

Ive only done it like twice

[leaden tiger]

didnt work

a completely new error

[west viper]

How would I make my game look low quality like in fears to fathom?

[stuck flower]

Post Processing

[west viper]

Ah ok thanks

[tough bronze]

can i make the project tab show these models as shaded and lit?

[surreal halo]

hey, for a weird reason when i want to call a function that changes the state of an object using an animation event, it works on a clip but not on other, why this occurs?

[south summit]

why it isnt complete? 🙁

the material does have to do with it?

[potent geyser]

Open the material list in on your Mesh Renderer, is it missing one?

[west viper]

Chat would people play a horror game about depression/mental health

[eternal cipher]

probably not...
if so, a very small market would

[viral hill]

games like that already exist and plenty of people have played them

[eternal cipher]

I don't doubt that
but I feel like depression is a heavy topic
it wouldn't appeal to a lot of people unless tagged with
"phycologial horror"

[west viper]

Ah, I’ll have to think about then

[west viper]

I’ve never seen 1 except That Dragon, Cancer but it’s not mental health

[cinder bone]

how do i make my grass more grass-like

[mighty wind]

Is this sentence still true in 2025 in unity 6?

[grand bison]

add 3d grass

guh

[cinder bone]

isnt 3d grass really expensive

[grand bison]

in performance
depends on how you do it

like you could set a view distance range for it to maximize performance and make it a setting that the player could change

and depends on how detailed the grass is

if unturned dev(s) managed to do it and the game runs on low end devices, so can you :3

[grand bison]

probably not

[grand bison]

@cinder bone also I highly recommend enabling occlusion culling for it

[slow dirge]

I don't think occlusion culling has anything to do with grass. Especially if you have big open scenes.

[grand bison]

maybe

[slow dirge]

You could add "regular" grass. It doesn't have to be a separate mesh. Could be just quads/billlboards. The way unity terrain does it by default.
