sorry for ping btw

[sage basin]

Don't ping staff or moderators for non-server related issues.

[hidden wagon]

ok mb

but do u know

[sage basin]

Your question contains no details and no, even if I did you have pinged me for no good reason and I would rather do literally anything else

[fair cove]

Your question also assumes that the mods and Rex specifically have multiple "gtag copy servers", would probably make sense to ask a gtag community a question like that

[leaden tiger]

im not sure whats the issue, those bones are named that

[glad bloom]

anyone know what makes tiles overlap randomly like this

[hearty magnet]

Hello, I have a few questions in regards of the recent cve

Sooooo, I found that one of my favorite game has that vulnerability, Ori and the will of the wisp. Buuut I know for certain the devs are not gonna patch it

I tried patching it myself using the unity patch tool 1.3.3 but it said theres no patch available for it

So now I don't know what to do, is it safe to ignore or do I have to say good bye to Ori

[potent geyser]

You can ignore it

[hearty magnet]

Soo the whole cve is a thing of the past now?

[clever flume]

do you guys use interface extensions often?

i use them whenever i want an interface with predefined implementations as well, but i dont know if that's bad design

[copper gust]

I also do and also get a weird vibe, gonna use them a lot more once we get c# 14 tho

[clever flume]

why is that

[copper gust]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-14

Has additions like extension properties

And c# 10 adds static virtuals and static abstracts in intefaces too

[unreal jewel]

-# if*

[lapis gate]

I kinda gave up on doing fancy stuff with unity lately

the'll never update their serialization

I'm hoping the addition to those unified gameobjects with ECS we'll get some more component tools such as gameobjects without transform values so I can actually do some true gameobject composition

[crisp phoenix]

bruh i just wanna make a 3D Built in render pipeline project

nm i fixed it

[robust spire]

what are this warnings while testing game on editor

[viral hill]

editor bug relating to a memory leak. you shouldnt worry about it unless you notice that inexplicable problems are happening

[robust spire]

not having any problem in game and performance still worried!

[viral hill]

like i said, it's an editor bug. not much you can do other than run the debugger to be certain that it isnt something else

[merry wren]

Hi

[mystic abyss]

no hi

[ivory moat]

Very very minor grammar issue with a warning popup, specifically the one for a canvas component with "Additional Shader Channels" set to include Normal and Tangent, might have been fixed in a later version, does anyone know where I can check if it's been fixed/report it?

Reporting bugs

🪲 To make bug reporting as quickly as possible, we made a bug reporting application for you. When running Unity choose Help->Report a Bug in the menu, or you can access it directly through the executable in the directory where Unity is installed. It will also launch automatically if you experience a crash.

📝 If your bug report is to do with Documentation, either an error, typo, or omission, you can report it by scrolling to the bottom of the page where you found the issue and click ‘Report a problem on this page’!

💡If your report is to do with a new feature idea, you can check the Unity Product Roadmaps page to see if your idea has already been planned.

For more complete instructions on how to report bugs, access: https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

[misty radish]

I think I have a scam bot texting me, anywhere I can report this?

[misty radish]

Thanks lad/lass

[nimble vigil]

Can i downgrade/switch my project from latest beta to stable?

[storm patio]

well you physically can do that

whether or not it comes with issues would kinda depend on a lot of things

[silent mica]

It's not supported, but it can be quite painless depending on a lot of things™.

You should use some sort of version control solution if you care about the project.

[long sparrow]

hi everyone

i need ask some question can someone point out what is this issue ?

the 1st picture that i can saw the sprite image but 2nd picutre where i apply meterial on it, the sprite become white color

can i get some help ?

[light fiber]

Yea of course, can you screenshot your ShaderGraph and make sure the material was using that ShaderGraph?

[long sparrow]

ok a while

actually i follow tutorial on youtube but i check every step i cannot found up the issue

[light fiber]

Try put your image to MainTex property.
if it works... i think you need to rename MainTex to _MainTex <<< because SpriteRenderer will send the sprite to _MainTex property (if im not wrong)

[long sparrow]

ok i get it a try

tq very much

[fierce swallow]

my unity editor goes black when i run my project.

[ocean pumice]

Does it crash or just go black?

[fierce swallow]

just when i click run btn it keep loading

[ocean pumice]

What exactly is black. give some information or screenshot...

[woeful spear]

I remember before starting Unity some people said one drawback with Unity is mixed features (new + deprecated/outdated). This seems one of those things. I wonder how can I find/avoid them.

[fierce swallow]

now it gives me the unity bug reporter window

[ocean pumice]

So you gotta check the logs

this screen shows up when i run the project

[sly lake]

Just keep up with new releases I guess. I think for the most part the default templates are okay now?
The big ones that you really have to lock in at the start are the render pipeline (use URP or HDRP) and the input system (don't use the Input.GetAxis / Input.GetKey one) because they can take a lot of time to replace.

[mild radish]

step 1. restart unity
step 2. restart pc

step 3. troubleshoot

[sly lake]

Might be worth it at this point to learn UI Toolkit and just never bother with UGUI.

[fierce swallow]

i do but still not running, while other projects running perfectly

[sly lake]

They were having some thoughts about deprecating / removing UGUI in Unity 7 but I somewhat doubt it'll be an outright removal any time soon.

[stable mica]

whats a easy thing i can do in unity that needs some help

[pearl oyster]

What do you mean needs help?

[stable mica]

like asking the unity discord for help on 1 of the steps you dont know

or a code that failed

[pearl oyster]

You can stick around and wait for questions to come up that you can answer

or browse https://discussions.unity.com

[stable mica]

thats horrible i barely know any code

[pearl oyster]

If you can't help then why did you ask

[stable mica]

to do some practice on unity

[pearl oyster]

Start making a game, there's a lot of practice in that

[stable mica]

already did with some toturials

fixed some of the code if it didnt work

and just in case so i dont end up in toturial hell i actually try to understand the code

[tall hearth]

Make one without a tutorial

[stable mica]

already did

implemented basic movements

[tall hearth]

Make a larger game then

[stable mica]

i mean thats scary

but duoable

[unreal jewel]

is there any reason that renderers don't clear the materials created by accessing Renderer.material when they're destroyed?
like isn't this just asking for a memory leak to happen in a game that, say, doesn't load other scenes often/at all?
it feels kind of weird to me that it just leaves them in the ram for seemingly no good reason

[woeful spear]

I'm using Emissive debug mode. The Emissive object is shown complete white. But in the tutorial, it says it should be yellow (like 2nd image). Is there something wrong?

[ocean pumice]

I guess your emission value is too high

[woeful spear]

Oh, I think yellow is just an example, not standard.

[ocean pumice]

Or that 😄

[woeful spear]

So it won't match my colors.

[mild radish]

change the variables of the material to get w/e ur going for

you'll have to have bloom enabled (in your post processing volume) to see any glow from emissive materials

[woeful spear]

Actually, it's still white after changing colors/intensity. So I think there's something off.

[ocean pumice]

can you show your emission color popup?

[woeful spear]

I think material is working fine in shaded view: @ocean pumice

It's baked.

[ocean pumice]

ah alright, so you fixed it 🙂

[woeful spear]

No I mean "issue" is this object is pure white in Emissive debug mode.

I wonder if that's normal. Because tutorial shows it bright yellow.

Oh wait fixed it 😄

[ocean pumice]

😄

[woeful spear]

Changing colors actually worked because I forgot to bake again.

[ocean pumice]

There we go 🙂

[mystic abyss]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a chunked map system/library?
I'm doing some work on my own map system (create tile map->instance tiles as a triangulated mesh), but it has a lot to be desired with how I've written things.

I figure that if there was even just a simple implementation for something similar to this, it might potentially save me a bit of time as the approach would have already been "solved"

I'm thinking more along the lines like this Tilemap, something like that isnt exactly hard to write myself, but its such a simple class its quite easy to "drop in" to my own system

[tall hearth]

Why would a full chunked terrain system be "simple"

[mystic abyss]

Not to the fullest extent of it generating the final form, but for a generic system youd have the array of tiles, and from tiles you generate the actual chunk instances. Then have some states like if the map exists, or only instance chunks when visible.

I'm more interested in the kind of architecture I should try and aim for

[gentle vine]

I've done 3d games before and weirdly am now going back and trying some 2d stuff (to try a simple networking game)
I had initially built the game in a "GameSpace" canvas, so as gameobject spawn they are placed as children into this "GameSpace" gameobject.
New gameobjects such as player have image components for their visual.

The problem I am having with this is layer priority of objects, I can't easily make sure a nested part of one gameobject is shown on top of another gameobject

Now looking online people seem to go about it in a different way, using a bunch of non-nested gameobjects with sprite renderers where you can set the Order In Layer. Is this just fundamentally a better way of handling it or is there a way that I could control my layering with my nested solution?

[tall hearth]

I think this depends on the type of system you want

[mystic abyss]

This is what I was hoping I could get an idea of by looking at an existing approach

[tall hearth]

Well i mean what do you to be able to do with the terrain is it deformable? Yes, look for a marching cube implementation not really simple but does the job. No, why the need for chunks then? Can you get away with it being a full single mesh?

[mystic abyss]

Mine already functions, but its quite basic and needs to be restructured as it has some poor design choices

Its basically a triangulated mesh grid that is displaced vertically using a heightmap texture

[unreal jewel]

image components and canvases are made for UI, sprite renderers are made for normal 2d world space rendering

you'd probably run into a lot of issues trying to do it that way, you should really just use the intended way

[gentle vine]

I feared this was the case, but it makes complete sense haha, I have basically made a UI based minigame

Only a small week long project so easy to change

[half plank]

If you are familiar with Visual Studio Code, please check the issue I am experiencing. Thank you.
#💻┃code-beginner message

[mystic abyss]

why the need for chunks then?
Are chunks not a good way to handle the terrain being broken into pieces? For culling they seem useful

[tall hearth]

I mean they are but that'd depend on how big the world is

[gentle vine]

Is there a similar way of doing masking / fill amount of a <Sprite Renderer> to how I was doing it with <Image> ?

[unreal jewel]

if anything has a rect transform its meant for ui

[unreal jewel]

you'll probably need a custom shader, shouldn't be that hard tho

[mystic abyss]

Its finite for now, but my end goal later will be a procedural map

[tall hearth]

Right so you'll want it chunked

[tall hearth]

Do you have any plans for the terrain to have caves or just a surface level thing?

[vivid cedar]

You'd have to use a custom shader

[mystic abyss]

I think I have caves in a "possible roadmap ideas", but its surface level for now. I cba to deal with marching cubes yet

[tall hearth]

Cba?

[mystic abyss]

cant be assed 😅

[vivid cedar]

Pretty simple to write this one as far as shaders go

[tall hearth]

Ahh, just asking all this cause i have a working marching cube system myself and was curious if you'd want me to send it over. I could also write a simple surface level non marching cube system. Since i have no clue of any publicly avalible ones

[gentle vine]

I've never done any shader writing before, any good guides or tutorials to look at for basics? I wouldn't even know where to begin, is it a script you attach to the gameobject with shader code?

[unreal jewel]

shaders are part of a material you attach to it

you can write them using shaderlab and hlsl or the visual shader graph

[mystic abyss]

I wouldnt worry about it, thanks though ^^
I think until more of the underlying terrain system is fleshed out, because its just a displaced grid, MC or not, the resulting mesh will be the same both ways

[gentle vine]

I'll give that a go, thanks for all the help

[unreal jewel]

you're welcome!

[mystic abyss]

actually, digging more into Monofoxe, it seems its got a pretty fleshed out tile system. Even though this TiledObject is part of a very complicated system. Poking around in other places shows types that could be applicable to my own

I really just want to see how they handle the creation of and management of the map, assuming I havent misunderstood what they use their Tile for

[lucid orbit]

hi so i want to open a project for modding tools that are in unity 5.6.2f1, but when i try to open it, it just gets stuck on this screen

i tried closing it through task manager and opening it up again, restarting my computer and reinstalling the editor but none of that works unfortunately

it sometimes says compiling scripts and loading stuff but gets stuck at the end anyways

im not sure what to do

i have also tried to upgrade it to 5.6.2p4 but that doesnt help either

[plain dagger]

We do not help with modding here

But if you just need help getting an old editor version to work thats probably fine

How did you download and install it?

[lucid orbit]

well i mean im not looking for modding help, i just need help to open the editor

[lucid orbit]

through the unity website where it has all the older versions and whatnot

[plain dagger]

Is this trying to open some project or make a new one?

[lucid orbit]

it is trying to open one

i also just tried to make a new project to see if it would do the same thing and it looks like it :/

[lucid orbit]

i tried deleting the library and temp folder to see if that help and it pops up with this stuff now

[lucid orbit]

but then gets stuck again at this screen

[plain dagger]

I wonder if enabling compatibility mode on the editor executable would help

[sacred pelican]

Hey guys Im wondering how to best approach this. Im making an Inventory, the logic is working completely, all I need is some UI to display it. Now I have 2 approaches in my mind:
a) Generate a new inventory prefab every time a new inventory is opened. Any inventory can have any amount of slots so just using a finished prefab is out of the question as it needs to generate at the correct size. Meaning I will Instantiate the base structure, then Instantiate each possible slot, then fill them by Instantiateing each item that is already stored. After everything is done save a reference between the InventoryObject and the UI (e.g. as a Dictionary). When closing/reopening just enable/disable the base object.
This would have the advantage that each inventory only needs to be generated once, and only needs regenerating its content (It can change without player interaction), but the obvious disadvantage of cluttering the scene with a bunch of inventories if the player decides to own 43289743754213471263129 chests.
b) Have a single base Inventory, generate it when an inventory opens, delete it and generate it new when a new Inventory opens, if the same opens ofc re use it.
This has the advantage that we limit available inventories to 1 (2 with local player inventory, which needs to always be loaded at least partially because of the hotbar, which no other inventory has), but the disadvantage that a player who looks betweeen many inventories, e.g. searching for items (Hi, thats me, Im that player xd) will do this pretty taxing generation every time he looks into a new inventory

Does anyone have any better ideas/improvements for my ideas on what to do?

[lucid orbit]

Do you mind if you could tell me how to do that :?

Also i'm not sure if it's worth mentioning but it seems like a editor issue since a newer version of unity seems to work just fine

[viral hill]

Any inventory can have any amount of slots so just using a finished prefab is out of the question as it needs to generate at the correct size.

not true

[sacred pelican]

how so?

[viral hill]

you could make a system that dynamically adds slots depending on how many you need, which is the approach that i would go for

[plain dagger]

I would presume with most layouts you can make use of a horizontal/vertical/grid auto layout and thus not worry about the problem

Inventory has 12 slots? spawn 12 and it gets auto layed out happy days

[sacred pelican]

that sounds like approach b to me? How is it different?

[viral hill]

approach b doesnt make use of prefabs at all it seems, you are still instantiating it at runtime and then storing the reference

[sacred pelican]

Sorry if I wasnt clear my question was not how to technically achieve this but which makes the most sense.

[plain dagger]

dont you want to know how to do this?

Isnt that the point 😆

[sacred pelican]

No Id know exactly how I wanna know what makes more sense

[plain dagger]

I dont understand but what you should be doing is using automatic layout for your list/grid of items/item slots

[viral hill]

what makes most sense to me is giving each object that is capable of storing items it's own inventory UI right off the bat

[plain dagger]

You dont manually place down some amount of elements when you know the amount required is varied

[sacred pelican]

well, but thats how, and I am using a grid layout for how I do it right now

[plain dagger]

If you are able to re use this same "inventory UI" then id just spawn elements as needed and hide them when not needed

[cosmic grail]

with unity 6.4 we can run our own local models like qwen deepseek etc that would be amazing 😉

[viral hill]

you can already do that with existing plugins

[cosmic grail]

oh where?

i can hook up mymodel?

[plain dagger]

If this UI is made correctly you can reveal it and tell it to show some items and it will refresh itself.

[sacred pelican]

public void OpenInventory(Inventory _inventory)
{
    inventory = _inventory;
    InventorySlotsArea.SetActive(true);
    _inventory.OnInventoryChanged += Inventory_OnInventoryChanged;

    for (int i = 0; i < inventory.slots.Length; i++)
    {
        SlotToGO.Add(inventory.slots[i], Instantiate(InventorySlotPrefab, i < 10 ? InventoryHotbarArea.transform : InventorySlotsArea.transform));
        GOToSlot.Add(SlotToGO[inventory.slots[i]], inventory.slots[i]);
        if (inventory.slots[i].Item != null)
            Inventory_OnInventoryChanged(inventory.slots[i]);
    }
}

this is what I do right now, currently there is only one static inventory, the player inventory. It always regenerates over itself, I know thats the worst approach but Im still working on it. But thats the gist of how I would create any new inventory

[viral hill]

ive used Undream AI in the past and it's great

it's on the asset store

[cosmic grail]

oh you mean the asset store stuff

i was asking unity supporting natively

[plain dagger]

Can you clarify, do you mean there is one static player inventory UI or the actual inv data?

[sacred pelican]

No the actual inv data is not one big static one

[cosmic grail]

oh they have a git hub too nice i will check it ouit thanks mate

[plain dagger]

okay so you have 1 inventory UI instance you re use? that sounds fine to me

[sacred pelican]

Here is a mock I made for testing:

public class PlayerController: MonoBehaviour
{
    public Inventory PlayerInventory;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Awake()
    {
        Inventory.SetItemsPath("Examples/");
        PlayerInventory = InventoryBuilder.Create()
            .SetOwner(this.gameObject)
            .SetCapacity(20)
            .SetLocalPlayer()
            .Build();
    }

    private bool inventoryOpen = false;
    public void ToggleInventory(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.phase != InputActionPhase.Started) return;

        if (inventoryOpen)
        {
            InventoryControllerUI.Instance.CloseInventory();
        }
        else
        {
            InventoryControllerUI.Instance.OpenInventory(PlayerInventory);
        }

        inventoryOpen = !inventoryOpen;
    }
}```

[sacred pelican]

Thats only for the player inventory right now. This one will always exist due to the permanent need of a hotbar. If you say I should reuse my one main instance that would be precisely approach b

[plain dagger]

A hotbar to me different to some general UI that can show all items in some inventory

[glass pasture]

i had a question for y'all, i have some skills in programming and the basicsc in c# and i fpund a website to learn multiple programming languages, c# being one of them. do yall think its useful to learn c# on it without unity? bc my goal is to use unity after that

[sacred pelican]

sorry? A hotbar is just another area for the inventory as you cans ee in the spawn logic its the first 10 slots

[viral hill]

yes

[plain dagger]

My experience with games tells me a hotbar provides specialized functionality and uses only some parts of an inventory object

[sacred pelican]

I mean I could go over how I made it work but I dont think thats the point?

[glass pasture]

bc the course isnt unity oriented and i remembered all the quaternion shit and functions from unity, that will obviously not be mentioned innit

[plain dagger]

No but I am trying to understand what you can support and do when implementing this other inventory ui

[viral hill]

that's ok. learning the basics of the language comes first

[plain dagger]

so trying to say a hotbar is an inventory UI is misleading to outsiders

[sacred pelican]

Basically my Inventory holds a selectedSlot slot reference and then on change it calls an event that every slot is subscirbed to. The slots then check "Is this me" and then select itself if it is, if not deselect itself. If there is no hotbar simply dont subscribe that event. Also the hotbar slot knows its item so if I need the item anywhere (for actually using it) it would be accessed over slot.item

[sacred pelican]

The hotbar is part of the inventory

but only if it is needed

[glass pasture]

yeah ok thanks

[viral hill]

"Any inventory can have any amount of slots" so does the hotbar have 10 slots and the rest of the inv can have as many as it needs?

[sacred pelican]

private InventorySlot _selectedSlot;
private InventorySlot selectedSlot
{
    get => _selectedSlot;
    set
    {
        _selectedSlot = value;

        OnSelectedItemChanged?.Invoke(selectedSlot);
    }
}

public InventorySlot HotbarChangeSelect(int value)
{
    int newValue = hotbarSelectedIndex - value;
    while (newValue < 0) newValue = 10 + newValue;
    while (newValue > 9) newValue = newValue % 10;
    hotbarSelectedIndex = newValue;
    selectedSlot = slots[hotbarSelectedIndex];
    return selectedSlot;
}```

[sacred pelican]

The hotbar currently has the first 10 slots of an inventory

It would break if the inventory had less than 10 slots total rn but thats a bridge I will cross when I come to it

but again, this isnt about the hotbar, for any other inventory Id just not make one

[viral hill]

just manually make it so that it cant have less than 10 slots

[sacred pelican]

Would be a bandaid but I want the possibility in the long term

[viral hill]

you can separate player inventory ui and all other inv UI if need be

[sacred pelican]

That is the plan

but Im still unsure wether I wanna generate an inventory for each chest (or object that just has one) or generate over a single instance every time one is opened

[viral hill]

does it really matter? both approaches seem fine in their own rights

[sacred pelican]

Well I wanna do it right and I just dont know which one is better

I can articulate up and down sides for each but dont know which to prefer

[viral hill]

better how? performance? ease of use?

[sacred pelican]

performance definitely

option A would be a potential memory leak I think, and b just needs to recalcualate every time you open an inventory

[viral hill]

unless you have 100k loaded at any given moment, i dont see a problem with each chest having it's own UI.

[viral hill]

memory leak how?>

[sacred pelican]

Well you open a chest, generate a new inventory

not quite the right word

Its just completely unlimited how many you can have

[viral hill]

what part of that could cause a leak

[sacred pelican]

As I said not quite the right word

Say one inventory uses 100kb then you open 100 inventories and already use 10GB

[viral hill]

why would they all be open at the same time?

[sacred pelican]

Didnt measure exact sizes so idk what the real numbers are

[sacred pelican]

Isnt it still in memory if I just disable the parent?

because thats what we are talkign about no?

You open an inventory -> generate -> close by disabling the GO -> re open same already generated one next time

If we dont regenerate we need to keep it

keeping things in my mind always uses memory

[viral hill]

this has nothing to do with the UI though, you already said that the inv logic and the inv ui are sperate

[sacred pelican]

Well yes but doesnt the UI use more memory if it has more elements?

this is how an inventory looks like

Each InventorySlotBase is repeated for ewach slot in the data

[viral hill]

not to the extent that you're thinking. you can try this by having 100 objs in an empty scene and then disabling them. the memory usage is minimal

[sacred pelican]

well thats disabling thats option a. Option b doesnt even spawn a 3rd, 4th or 5th inventory object

so its always capped to the size of a single inventory

[modest meteor]

you only need as many ui elements as the max number of items is in an inventory

[sacred pelican]

In option b, yes

In option a no

[modest meteor]

what is option a? spawning in thousands of unneccessary objects?

[viral hill]

i see. then i guess you should have 1 ui for all chests that reads the data from the chest itself

[sacred pelican]

#💻┃unity-talk message

thats what rob and x5 seem to prefer

well preferred until now

[modest meteor]

if your chest has 30 slots then you only spawn 30 ui elements. and you just enable and disable them

[sacred pelican]

x5 seems to just have changed his mind xd

[viral hill]

eh im still on the fence. both option seem ok in theory. if you really are worried about having 100 different UI's that each have their own collection of elements, then it's ok to go for option b

[sacred pelican]

No if you only have 1 you dont enable/disable them. What ifI open 30 slot inventory first, then 20 slot, then 40 slot

[sacred pelican]

Im planning on reusing it in future projects so some games may only need 2 or 3 outside inventories, others may cycle through hundreds in minutes

[modest meteor]

if 40 slots is the max then you spawn 40 slots in Awake or something and then show the player only the number of slots he needs to see. if he opens a 30 slot inventory, you just hide 10 slots and show him the 30 🤷

[viral hill]

option b seems super quick to setup. why not just try it?

[sacred pelican]

There is no max

[viral hill]

no max size

[sacred pelican]

uint.Max is max

[modest meteor]

but surely there is a max number of slots visible on the player's screen at once though?

[deft rock]

pooling systems spawn the amount of items needed, then reuse those items ... spawning more if they're ever needed.

[sacred pelican]

option b is technically how the player works right now as it destroys its inventory on close right now

[sacred pelican]

that yet again is option a

so we have 2 points for a 2 points for b xd

I guess at least you can see why I am having a hard time deciding xd

[modest meteor]

can you answer this? #💻┃unity-talk message

No if you have more than have space I will simply generate them into a scrollView

but purely technically you can have uint.Max amount of slots

after that some stuff would break

[modest meteor]

so the player only sees x number of slots. which means you only spawn in x number of slots once, and then use object pooling for the scrollview and enable/disable stuff as the player is scrolling
you should not be instantiating and destroying objects at runtime when you can just use object pooling instead

that's the absolute best way to do this, unless i missed something

[sacred pelican]

So option b but on steroids

but thats not even the point my question isnt any individual inventory but the system as a whole

that would be its separate, own, question

Well if we cant decide Ill just do both and make a boolean toggle :)

[modest meteor]

what i said is how you would handle the ui side only. for the system itself just have each chest store a list of items. ids and their amounts probably

[sacred pelican]

way too much uneccessary work ngl

[sacred pelican]

Right now my Inventory is set up that you have the Inventory class, which has a Slot array, and a Slot contains the Item ScriptableObject (nullable)

And a chest knows its Inventory object

So if I say right click it it tells me that object and I can either generate the inventory (option b), or have it generated and look it up in a Dictionary and then just enable it (option a)

[plain dagger]

Item data and item instances should be kept seperate. Then we can use scriptable objects for item data configuration

as you know, we cannot save scriptable objects at runtime so its unwise to use them for mutable stuff

[sacred pelican]

They are?

The only thing changing about an item is how many you own but thats not item data, thats actually in the slot precisely because of that. Slot knows which item it owns. Slot knows how many of that item it owns

[polar basalt]

wait ill move my question

[sacred pelican]

using System.ComponentModel;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Maffin.InvetorySystem.Items
{
    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Item", menuName = "Scriptable Objects/Item")]
    public class Item : ScriptableObject
    {
        public string itemName;
        [TextArea] public string description;
        [DefaultValue(10)]
        public uint StackSize;
        public Sprite Icon;
    }
}

[plain dagger]

How do you save this inventory data to disk then?

[sacred pelican]

this is my full item

[sacred pelican]

I dont I let the specific game handle it

I have some games I want editable files, so I use JSON, and some I dont, so I use unity cloud

[plain dagger]

what does that mean?

is this not your project or your system?

[sacred pelican]

wdym?

[plain dagger]

you dont know how this inventory data is stored and reloaded later?

[sacred pelican]

Does this answer your questions?

[plain dagger]

e.g. player saves their game

No that tells me nothing 😆

[sacred pelican]

I make the inventory standalone

so it can be used in any game in the future

[plain dagger]

thats nice but how can this be saved to disk

how can a player save their progress?

[sacred pelican]

I serialize the object?

[plain dagger]

yay we got there

[sacred pelican]

I reference the Item So by name rn

probably gonna change it to something more unique but that is future me's problem

But thus I only need to store one field of the SO to reference it back later

using Maffin.InvetorySystem.Items;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Maffin.InvetorySystem.Slots
{
    public class InventorySlot
    {
        private Item
            item;
        private uint
            ownedAmount;

        public Item Item 
        {
            get => item; 
            set
            {
                item = value;
                if(item == null)
                    ownedAmount = 0;
            }
        }
        public uint OwnedAmount
        {
            get => ownedAmount;
            set
            {
                if (item != null && value > item.StackSize)
                    ownedAmount = item.StackSize;
                else
                    ownedAmount = value;
            }
        }
        public uint MaxAmount => item.StackSize;
        public GameObject placeholder;

        private bool keepItem = false;
        public bool KeepItem
        {
            get => keepItem;
            set
            {
                keepItem = value;
            }
        }

        public InventorySlot(Item item, uint ownedAmount)
        {
            this.item = item;
            this.ownedAmount = ownedAmount;
        }
    }
}

this is what a slot is rn

[modest meteor]

ideally you'd generate a unique id for each item and save that. but strings work too
IDs take less space

[sacred pelican]

As I said Ill get to it when I get to it xd

not a priority in the slightest rn

[plain dagger]

99% of the time I use string ids as it is a lot easier to configure and handle later

though sometimes it has made sense to have an alternate int id

[sacred pelican]

no matter if json or unity cloud it will be serialized to string anyways

but thats just me

[modest meteor]

until you want to rename an item and now your players' saves are invalidated 😄

[plain dagger]

yea thats why you just dont or you have a version number in your save file so you can handle upgrading later

[pale coyote]

Guys can someone help me with unity version control

[potent topaz]

Any one else seen these rectangles in the editor UI like some debug code left in?!

[pale coyote]

I turned it on so my friend could also work on the project but this is what he sees

[lean ridge]

Hey all. Curious - anybody managing Unity in a school lab environment?

[pale coyote]

I tried on out school iMac but it got blocked by the firewall

[lean ridge]

ooof. 😄

I'm talking from the angle of packaging it and installing it on a lab of systems for students to use. 😄

so kind of the opposite - lol

[pale coyote]

Dang nice

[lean ridge]

I have it running now in a lab, I'm just questioning if the way I did it is the "best" way cause Unity, to put it lightly, is a real pain in the backside in this kind of space.

[pale coyote]

What are the specifications of the devices

That you put unity on

[lean ridge]

they appear to be i7, 16gb ram AIO desktops

[sacred pelican]

I dont think an i7 880 can run unity

[sly lake]

How did you do it?

[lean ridge]

I had to run a script that calls unity-hub via command line and put in a ton of parameters after it for all of the SDK/NDK/JDK/WebGL stuff.

The thing that makes me rage is unity-hub only supports certain versions for a limited time, so if I have a system blow up that needs fixed months later, when I set it up again, I can't get that system in line with the rest of the lab without also upgrading the entire lab in the process (which isn't always approachable with half completed projects). Needless to say, Unity makes me want to flip tables at times with this kind of goofiness.

[sly lake]

Yeah, I don't think using the Hub is the way.

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation//Manual/InstallingUnity.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/ManualActivationCmdWin.html

[lean ridge]

Problem I remember running into is accepting the EULA for the different components individually. Some, if I recall, didn't have command line parameters to bypass that.

The only way I could make it work is via hub command line. Which I hate for the other reasons listed above, but it was the only way I could make Unity + the extras behave.

[sly lake]

Hub can also install older versions. For instance, this link to install the current LTS:
unityhub://6000.0.61f1/74a0adb02c31

I imagine there's a command line flag for the same

[lean ridge]

yeah I know it can do some older ones - but it's limited

unfortunately it's kind of useless when trying to match up the rest of the lab in the event of a system failure or some sort of RMA that comes up

so far it's happened twice, and both times unity hub no longer had the version we needed posted

It's to the point that going forward I'm going to buy an extra system or two for the lab and keep as a hot spare with the exact versions, but that's just an asinine thing to have to do to work around this.

[sly lake]

Not really. Specific versions all the way down to 5.0.4

IIRC there's a JSON file somewhere to download even older versions

[lean ridge]

when I check for what versions are available via unity hub command line, I have six options. I don't have the full run of all historical versions.

e.g. unity hub.exe -- --headless editors

my understanding is they must be listed there to be available for command-line-based install

[gilded thistle]

How good is unity 6.2 compared to the LTS version

I'd like to transfer my project from 6 lts to 6.2 but first I'm wondering if it's actually worth it or a waste of disk space and time (basically are the new changes actually extremly valuable)

[viral hill]

read the patch notes and decide that for yourself

[stable sky]

I downloaded Point Grass Renderer and now I can see all the grass on the terrain, even from a distance. Does anyone know how to remove this?

[sly lake]

I figured it out

"unity hub.exe" --headless install --version 6000.0.58f2 --changeset 92dee566b325

[lean ridge]

I don't have the --changeset portion in my command. I assume that's a catch point here?

[sly lake]

Yeah, you have to specify that to download editors not on the currently offered list

[lean ridge]

no freakin kidding?

where did you source the 92de? I assume that's listed on their archive installers page?

getting me a little excited over here homie

[sly lake]

Yep

In the release notes

[lean ridge]

I wonder if it'll place nice with all the extra jazz in my command

like here's the command from my older unity notes when I was working through this a year or so ago.

-- --headless install --version 6000.0.26f1 --module android-sdk-ndk-tools android-sdk-platforms-34 android-sdk-build-tools-34.0.0 android-ndk-r23b android-open-jdk-17.0.9+9 webgl

[sly lake]

Should work

[lean ridge]

I'll have to spin up a VM and see if I can get this older (and not listed in hub CLI) version with all that NDK SDK JDK business in there barring I add the --changeset parameter

lol. sitting here wondering why this aint running on my vanilla VM. I didn't install hub. 😄 It's fine it's fine everything is fine over here.

[sly lake]

My advice - wait for the next LTS with 6.3, which should eventually stabilize

6.2 really seems like a mess from all the bugs I see posted here 😅

[gilded thistle]

Yeah it's fair LTS versions have the least amount of errors thanks for the advice

I usually only use LTS unity versions but I heard they implemented AI to facilitate sprite generation so I was considering it

After seeing all these new game trailers on Halloween I think it's time I get into game development seriously. I may be solo but hell I'll make everything myself down to models and whatnot

[silk oar]

can someone help me with a problem i have i imported my character model fbx into unity and also extracted the materials but somehow the whole character is black only the hair is white

[crimson bluff]

Oh I might be able to help

[silk oar]

that would be cool

[crimson bluff]

You need to put the materials with the model, cuz right now, they're not in the right place

But the problem is.....I dont know how to do that, BUT atleast you know the problem

[silk oar]

but i dont know which material should fit what

hmm unfortunate

[crimson bluff]

You did it in blender yes?

[silk oar]

i downloaded it

somewhere

[stuck flower]

Did you assign textures to the materials you extracted

[crimson bluff]

Ohh, you have to do it from blender then unity then

Unless doing in unity is also fine, but I do for a fact, you should do it in blender

[silk oar]

the material came with the folder and i just took that as source

[silk oar]

how u do that

[stuck flower]

Do those materials have textures assigned

[silk oar]

i only got a textures folder with it

the materials are with a blue dot right?

these

and no they dont have textture assigned

i tried to tho but i dont know which ohne to place where

[crimson bluff]

Sorry, im just learning textures and how to assigned them, but I do know you have to go to your shading tad, the other guy seems more reliable then me tbh, hope it goes well

[silk oar]

i hope so too...

thank u

[stuck flower]

Then you'll need to do that

[silk oar]

yea but i dont know what to put to where

[stuck flower]

So look at where the material is used, look at the textures, and see what would make sense

Repeat until sorted

[silk oar]

it doesnt change it stays black hm

[stuck flower]

Did you actually assign the materials to the mesh

And do you have any lights in the scene

[silk oar]

yea i think it was because of the color

base color was a paint color

idk why

and some of the materials doesnt even have this component so i can add the textures

[lean ridge]

@sly lake just like you said, that --changeset was the ticket. Tried with and without. Without it, it yells at me that it can't find the version. With it, it does it's thing, and a while later I end up on the older (but specifically targeted) Unity version referenced in the command. ❤️

Well the issue I am having is with a terrain in my augmented reality project. Im struggling to keep it loading consitently where it should go. And it tends to mess up the rest of the assets. At times the assets load correctly, flat and where they should be but the terrain is somewhere else, or tilted. And then there are times it loads exactly how I want it. Its so inconsistent. And I dont know what the issue might be. Ive tried google, youtube and AI.

[torn mulch]

Hi, I’m totally new. I want to make mobile game like Clash Royale but more strategic and rpg styled. Is it going to be hard? I can afford to buy some 3d assets, but what about coding?

[pearl oyster]

yes

[torn mulch]

how much

1 - 10

1 is laughable easy and 10 is AAA type shit

[balmy kettle]

game dev is hard, especially if you are totally new. expect to put in a lot of work both learning and building your game after you've learned the basics

[viral hill]

it's not about difficulty as much as it is about time. it will take at least a year or so if you are diligent. including multiplayer features will increase the difficulty tenfold

[balmy kettle]

!learn 👇 start by going through the pathways on the unity learn site that will teach you what you need to know about the editor and how to use c# with the engine

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[pearl oyster]

Clash Royale is made by a team of about 70 people so that should give some indication

[viral hill]

not to mention that Supercell had already published multiple titles by that point

[pearl oyster]

You can of course make a similar game but with smaller scope

[viral hill]

#🤯┃augmented-reality and dont ask AI for help as a beginner

[torn mulch]

was it 70 when it came out?

or currently

[pearl oyster]

70 people are credited for making it so who knows. But it's a major title by a big company, there was a big team from the start

probably even more involved in minor roles that aren't credited

[torn mulch]

I wonder how many of people coded it. Because graphics or audio wise I don’t worry much. I can buy assets and my friend who’s into audio told me he can make some music and sfx for me.

[sacred pelican]

More people doesnt have to mean higher quality/more content it can also just mean lower development cycle

[pearl oyster]

Start by making Flappy Bird and Pong, then you'll get a better sense of how much effort is involved

[viral hill]

it will take years to learn the level of programming required to make something similar

[torn mulch]

what do you think is the hardest part to code?

[viral hill]

anything networking related

so pretty much all of it

[torn mulch]

ohh noo

[sacred pelican]

Ive been working with netcode a lot lately I feel like it takes care of most of it and makes it rather easy

[brave ridge]

If youre asking how hard it is to code, then you arent gonna be able to do it. Take a step back and do an actual simple learning project as others said like pong or flappy bird

[torn mulch]

I just want to make simple clash royale game, without stupid evolutions and other p2w stuff

cus i feel like there’s a loophole in the market

[brave ridge]

You can add the word simple to anything you want, that doesnt make it simple

[torn mulch]

probably right

ehh I suck at coding so much, wish there was some automatic tools for it

[craggy pollen]

what stops you from learning programming

[torn mulch]

adhd

[viral hill]

i have adhd too, it's difficult but definitely possible

[craggy pollen]

you could use visual scrpting

[torn mulch]

one thing that I can do is creating a level because I used to do it on Valve’s SDK since I was a kid for many years.

I could build levels all day, I love it.

[jade dirge]

hey folks. wasn't sure if this question fits the code channel so im asking here. I've set up the basic environment of my game (after a bit of struggling... i wanted the ground to be infinite. that's finally achieved) and now i want to add the core mechanic. it revolves around powerups that take you from triangle to square to pentagon and so on. the way the player moves is based on "rolling", so getting to a higher polygon is essential for going faster and thus getting further in a "run". How would you guys swap out the player's sprite for a higher polygon? two things need to be accomplished, the sprite needs to change and the points in the polygon collider needs to change. I'm thinking the cap will be a decagon, so perhaps have 7 separate player objects (triangle to decagon) that get turned off and on as you hit powerups?

[viral hill]

just change the mesh/sprite

[jade dirge]

that was my first thought. will i experience any troubles with setting the "area" of the polygon collider or is it easy to have the collider pre-set to each sprite?

[viral hill]

im not too familiar with 2d so im not sure if it works the way i think it does. if it doesnt resize dynamically, just also change the collider whenever you change the sprite respectively

[jade dirge]

alright i'll try that. I've only used the triangle sprite that already exists, and the polygon collider detected the points flawlessly, i just wasn't sure if it will detect the points the same way once i draw my own in paint

[tranquil swallow]

any news on the animator editor changes?

[sly lake]

Nope

Unite is next month though, so we’ll see what hasn’t been canceled

[copper gust]

what comes out first batman II or core clr

[deft rock]

what hasn't been canceled ... so far

[gusty abyss]

what's the best way to make sunrays?

[astral bough]

every time i try to run a 3d project, this happens, even upon creating a completely new 3d. This issue does not occur with 2d projects.

[tall hearth]

if i was trying to do pooling for a bullet hell how would i handle knowing the number of gameobjects i need to make as there could be thousands of the experience orbs on the ground at a time

[astral bough]

Usually I just eyeball it but if we're talking thousands, it could be useful to have a couple thousand to start, and if there exists more than the first amount, instantiate a couple more.

[vivid cedar]

If there can be thousands I wouldn't use GameObjects for them

[astral bough]

oh yeah that too

[tall hearth]

how would it be handled then? gpu instancing? but would that have colliders?

[vivid cedar]

you wouldn't use the normal physics engine, no.

You could use ECS/DOTS or you could hack something together with a compute shader

e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/unity/comments/1npxvvq/using_compute_shaders_to_simulate_thousands_of/

I'm not ssure how with a compute shader they handle actually awarding the exp though

[tall hearth]

probably keep positions of each exp then if the player is close enough to one "collect it" or so i would assume

[vivid cedar]

You could probably get away with a GPU -> CPU readback for just a simple datapoint like how many orbs were eaten

it's also ok if that readback has a little latency for this use case

[astral bough]

would anyone happen to know what to do about this?

[vivid cedar]

update all the packages in your projects' package manager and delete the library folder

[copper gust]

Yeah like Magic said, Feels more likely that the exp awarding code is probably handling the visual dying

[zinc crest]

hi guys i'm meting a problem where when i run an animation in unity (that was created in blender), when it plays and ends and starts again, it twitching a little. (Im trying to hide a null frame in Unity)

[astral bough]

where is the library folder? i've been trying to find it, i googled it, i seem to just not be seeing it

[plain dagger]

Its in your project but not visible in the Unity editor

[astral bough]

found it, thanks

[potent geyser]

So like you do the same thing you did for your players.

[restive wolf]

Hey I've got a default Unity 6 project and there are these odds bands appearing on any model with curvature. Any idea what this is?

It's not AO.

[tall hearth]

out of curiosity wanna show the same image but with wiremesh / wireframe (dont remember the unity term) on

[restive wolf]

this is Unity's default sphere.

[tall hearth]

yeah yeah, wasnt what i thought it was. does it have it's basic material on it?

also today i learned that unity's default sphere isn't a UV sphere like blender's

[restive wolf]

yep

[barren light]

hi guys

im a beginner dev

any1 got any ideas for a small project?

[plain dagger]

how about one of unitys game tutorials? https://learn.unity.com/course/2d-beginner-game-sprite-flight

[torn mulch]

hi

im a newbie

would you say Unity is easier than UE5 for beginners?

UE5 has blueprints and I heard they make things easier.

I want to make horror-survival 3D game.

[balmy kettle]

unity has its own visual scripting as well. neither is really "easier", game dev is hard. pick the engine that suits your needs and get to learning

[torn mulch]

what’s the hardest part in game dev?

[balmy kettle]

apparently getting over the hesitation to start learning

[gray dirge]

Very recently I was made aware of the new low level 2d physics api which is based on a new version of the underlying physics engine (Box2D). That might be worth taking a look too https://discussions.unity.com/t/low-level-2d-physics-in-unity-6-3-beta/1683247

[tall hearth]

will do thanks

[prisma needle]

quick question, if I want to upload my game to play.unity or whatever it is, can I choose the publicity there? like set it to private, maybe only people with the link can play or something? Or is it public for everyone?

[gray dirge]

In short it allows handling physics without involving gameobject with good support for multithreading and ECS

[lapis gate]

vfx graph did get a large update on collision and callbacks

but a few thousands of gameobjecs I wouldn't fret honestly

The only problem really is garbage collection, but like you mentioned you can pool it to get around that issue

[potent moss]

is there like a chart or smth of how performance heavy certain operations are in unity?

[slow dirge]

The profiler.
Other than that, no. Because it depends.

You might find some notes in the various docs pages saying stuff like "don't use often" or "avoid using every frame" and stuff like that.

Bro you are fr testing my patience

Omg my foon is 4%

Its stuck on 6%

[mild radish]

🔍 Look into Shadow Acne..

• Brainstorming possible solutions / points of interest
  🔲 Light Bias/Normal Bias ->Too high values on your directional light can cause subtle striping or gradient steps on smooth surfaces. Try reducing the Bias values.. there should be two. One and then One for Normals
  🔲 Try toggling HDR off (Project Settings > Quality > HDR) [not sure you'd want to do that or start with that]
  🔲 Ambient Intensity could be reduced.. or increase indirect samples
  🔲 ~~Could be bad normals.. or interpolation/missing smooth normals ~~ this couldn't be true b/c its the default Unity Sphere.. but -> (maybe try a smooth-shaded sphere from Blender)
  🔲 Following off of the above recommendation if you use an imported mesh in the import settings try setting Normals -> Calculate, Smoothing Angle 180* in shader use smooth shading not flat (altho i don't think thats flat shaded in the example)
  🔲 Low-light gradients can cause Banding you can use the Tonemapper if in URP/HDRP to adjust settings that can reduce those [also dithering]
  🔲 Use a higher resolution mesh or a higher resolution lighting setup

[reef halo]

I'm kind of new here and wanted to ask if there's a place, I can ask to hire people to work on a Unity project?

why are you using chat gpt

[restive wolf]

Did you just post a chat gpt response at me?

[mild radish]

@mystic abyss i typed all that by hand.. using my own documentations...
I did use chat-gpt to ask it if there was anything else i could be missing.. and it suggested the disabling
HDR and that's why i said "[not sure you'd want to do that or start with that]" directly afterwards 😅

The issue is that I’m getting this on a total empty Unity 6 project. Is this typical?

[mild radish]

i can also help you out with some primitives if u need

[mystic abyss]

mb

[mild radish]

like a few different spheres from blender with different mesh's and topology

if ur interested just let me know

[reef halo]

anyone willing to answer?

[mystic abyss]

but the —

[mild radish]

copied my .md stuff from my devlog

im bit of an emoji freak lol

my Documentation pages end up way more polished and fancy than they need to be 😅

@restive wolf do you want some different sphere meshes?

i can make a few w/ normals set up

or is it the sphere thats the problem?? or was that just a test object?

[mystic abyss]

fair, though tbh every time I see text thats using emojis for the start of sentences, and use of the em-dash, my brain goes into red alert mode 😆

[mild radish]

ya, sorry bout that.. i was already in my dev-log.. and thought i'd be cute

[mystic abyss]

yeah dont worry about it

[mild radish]

anywho... look into Unity Shadow Acne

you should get plenty of resources and different options

[mild radish]

yea, its b/c of how simple the topo is..

you need a higher resolution model..

or some better shade smoothing

[restive wolf]

Previous projects didn’t have this issue.

[mild radish]

oh u sure/

lets move to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow Lazy

is this camera clipping?

it seems odd to me that the edge.. the vertical line of the edge of the cube isnt clipped out

like the other part of it 🤔

like... why wouldn't this also be clipped lol

[mild radish]

no.. its not allowed on this server..

[vapid ore]

When I zoom in, the map disappears strangely. Only when I use the mouse wheel does this phenomenon not happen. Before, I used to use the right mouse button + WASD keys.

I need your help

[potent geyser]

1. You're in ISO mode (at the top right below your transform gizmo, click the button to return to perspective0

2. Click on an object in your scene, and press F to focus the scene camera on it to reset its distance.

[mild radish]

☝️ Edit >

it'll reset the focus on ur object.. what your seeing in the window is called clipping.
the game-camera can do the same thing and its why the camera has clipping planes settings

[vapid ore]

thank you very much, my problem is solved, now i can study with peace of mind

[vestal patrol]

is 6000.2.10f1 busted on linux? cant seem to open any projects with it after i just installed it

seems like my 6000.2.2f1 install still works but i cant use that for obvious reasons

its claiming that the project is open despite no window opening, and the project files havent even been created despite creating the project in unity hub

ill move this to the proper bug reporting channels, but first i want to see if this is a global issue or if this is specific to my system and i need to do some experimenting

[dusky forum]

Restart your computer

[vestal patrol]

seemingly did not work, editor still not opening

ok my install may have borked at the very end, reinstalling

[vestal patrol]

Ok reinstalled, the editor is still not opening. Also it seems to have borked ubuntu entirely? Windows not rendering, applications not closing, the whole nine yards. As soon as the install for the editor finished everything went to shit. This happened the first time I installed as well, but I chalked it up to normal unbuntu bugginess. Guess not

Powering off my PC and back on again, it's taking longer to boot than normal????? Don't know how the hell we've managed that

And the error persists

I'll download the lts version just to make sure

[vestal patrol]

Ok the lts version has borked ubuntu as well. Gonna wipe unity hub and all of the installations to see if I can get this fixed

[small glen]

can I use visual effect graph using URP? I see the description says it's still in development

Hello, I’m somewhat new to unity, I seem to be lost with where my textures are for a model I exported from blender

Is this the place to seek help?

[leaden tiger]

yeah, there isnt much help unless you could learn everything about unity i guess

[serene mica]

I’m still somewhat new so I haven’t learned all of unity

[leaden tiger]

same, im just trying to make my oc do the griddy

[serene mica]

Pfffff

I’ve found a spice 3D model for blender

[leaden tiger]

interesting

[serene mica]

ive got her exported into unity but as you can see, shes not textured

[leaden tiger]

there should be an easy search and fix

[serene mica]

Mhm currently doing that

[leaden tiger]

good luck

[serene mica]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[serene mica]

did someone just ping me?

[nimble vigil]

Does anyone else have a problem with the timeline and playback mode not being synced

[cobalt sequoia]

gooner

anyways is there a built in way in unity to get the highest/lowest point of an object in the editor and not in script?

[elder geyser]

I am in Unity 6000.0.60f1
I just noticed i can't find the options to hide/show gizmos and adjust their size in the scene.
Usually it's somewhere on the top, I am not sure but did it get moved or have i hidden it somehow?

I think i found it, apparently it can be hidden with an option under the 3 dot menu in the right top corner, the overlay menu

[serene mica]

I think I’ve fixed the textures, now I’m just doing the phys bones

[tall hearth]

using ugs authentication and want to access the ugs player list, but cant figure out how to link the project to the cmd anyone know?

nvm fixed it

[nocturne remnant]

Added Rb2d, hingeJoint 2d and connected them and boxCollider2d. why does this chain break when player pushes into it?

when i remove player, it goes back to normal pendulum motion

all connected.

I need chains to not break and like apply force to others if they try to push it,

[nocturne remnant]

export textures and material in settings.

[nocturne remnant]

confused where I am wrong with this as I am doing same as tutorials

[serene mica]

from blender?

or unity?

[nocturne remnant]

Unity

go to the fbx settings

there will be option for extract texture

[serene mica]

im somewhat new, where is the setting for them?

[plain dagger]

Isnt it a button on the fbx importer?

if you select the model in unity and check the materials tab is it there?

Yep should be there: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/FBXImporter-Materials.html

[serene mica]

this is all i see

[plain dagger]

It must not have any embedded materials or textures then

It would have fields where you can assign materials if the model had any as well

[serene mica]

it was fully textured ect on blender

[plain dagger]

but doesnt mean it exported with those in the model file...
You can make sure materials get exported and put your textures in your project and then setup the materials there.

It will try to auto assign materials with the same name (or you can assign them in that tab)

GLB/GLTF is the only format with a consistent, standardised material + texture embed and export support but requires a package for unity to support it

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cloud.gltfast@6.14/manual/installation.html (glb/gltf support)

[steel hinge]

Hey everyone i want ur opinion on ts. i am making a rage game where you basically Carry a bucket of water complete a level you know the usual rage stuff and your goal is not to spill or drop water bucket otherwise you restart player character will be active ragdoll. with third person camera. You gonna be controlling the bucket with your mouse you know left right and up down and wasd for movement any suggestions or does the idea seem okay in the first place?

[serene mica]

i mean i had to go back into unity and get the textures and copy/paste them across to blender

[craggy pollen]

sounds like a cool game idea

[plain dagger]

how did we go from blender -> unity to unity -> blender???

[serene mica]

I downloaded the 3d model for blender from itch from there I got the fbx file, put it through unity but it never pulled the textures with it, just the materials

[nocturne remnant]

sweet, try to prototype it first and see if u enjoy it

[serene mica]

And I couldn’t find a way to find the textures so I pulled them from blender, copy and pasted the textures into a textures folder I made myself in assists for unity

[nocturne remnant]

material need textures to display so thats why it didnt show.

[serene mica]

I followed a step by step and it never brought the textures over

[nocturne remnant]

Anyone has any idea how to make a chain that doesnt break? hinge collider chain is breaking when i push an object through it.

[plain dagger]

I think blender may not support this for FBX

anyway you got it working in unity so whats the problem? FBX is always troublesome thanks to autodesk

[serene mica]

Nothing now, I just thought there would of been a solution to bring all of the textures over

[plain dagger]

I told you a solution above

[serene mica]

I only grabbed the main textures

[serene mica]

Yes I know but it’s a little hard for me when it’s reading, I’m a visual learner

[plain dagger]

haha well im not drawing a picture

[serene mica]

And I’m not expecting you to lol

[plain dagger]

gltf export info: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.80/addons/io_scene_gltf2.html
unity gltf support: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cloud.gltfast@6.14/manual/installation.html

✨ gltf

[serene mica]

Maybe only visually circle what to do? Idk coming up with ideas of the rip XD

[plain dagger]

In this world you need to be able to look up pages and read documentation

I know a video tutorial feels nicer but those can be old, incorrect or shit
documentation for the software is always the most reliable source

[serene mica]

Fair enough

[plain dagger]

Im sure there are videos talking about blender GLTF exporting but you can look for those if you want

Otherwise you can stick with making the materials in unity manually

[serene mica]

Ok

[nocturne remnant]

Never mind guys, I was moving the square by changing its transform. tried to move it using rigidbody and its working fine.

I will now take a break and cry, this took me 2 hours to figure out.

[naive fjord]

hello, what is the most stable unity6 version?
I've tried multiples and now i am using 6.0.58f2

and still have some bugs like this as example

[lyric pumice]

hello

[balmy kettle]

that should have been fixed in literally the next patch

[tall hearth]

how can i save data as public in cloud save? cause unity cloud says it's writable by that player but the only function i see in code to write data is
await CloudSaveService.Instance.Data.ForceSaveAsync(data); which is both deprecated and only writes to default as far as i know

[near wigeon]

Game clients can only read custom items. They cannot create, modify or delete Custom items. Custom Items can be written to using Cloud Code, a game server, using the HTTP API or from the Unity Dashboard.
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/cloud-save/manual/tutorials/unity-sdk#game-data

[tall hearth]

i'll take a look thank you

it worked

wait, i totally missed the quote. Is this saying that although i can write data to unity cloud in the editor i wont be able once i build it? Nope nvm i dont need custom items just basic dictionaries for now

[pure igloo]

how do i make it such that i can't change the position of the background around, because i always end up having to ctrl z everytime i accidentally end up moving it

[balmy kettle]

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

[woeful spear]

I am unable to find this "More" option. Not sure what they're saying.

I installed ProBuilder successfully.

I don't see any More option yet

[balmy kettle]

If your window is in Icon Mode
this is likely instructions for an older version of probuilder that used a dedicated window for probuilder options rather than the new "probuilder tool context"

[nocturne remnant]

Anyone that can help me understand this. I am trying to attach 2 players to each other using a rope.
I made a chain using hingeJoint2d, 1st chain has rb of Player1 and Player2 is connected to last chain hingejoint.
Only P2 is moving but stuck stuck and P1 is just rotating on its position when i try to move it.

[sacred pelican]

Is it normal for this to just straight up come broken?

[potent geyser]

What do you think the answer to that is?

[sacred pelican]

I guess yes

wouldnt be the first time unity ships with broken stuff

[nocturne remnant]

Anyone here with experience in rope/chains in 2d?

[stable perch]

Someone here definitely is

Not me tho lol

So ask away

[potent moss]

does someone mind explaining what visual scripting actually is?

is it just another term for vfx or something?

[nocturne remnant]

asked twice earlier got no response

sucks to be a noob 🙁

[balmy kettle]

try asking in #⚛️┃physics or #🖼️┃2d-tools (whichever is most appropriate for your actual issue) and be sure to provide full context

[stable perch]

You might get more luck in #⚛️┃physics you also asked an hour ago so give it some time

[nocturne remnant]

oh, These channels were not visible in the channel list

thank you

[balmy kettle]

it's scripting using nodes and building it out visually instead of using code. if you know what blueprints are in unreal, it's that

[deft rock]

visual scripting is coding with blocks/ nodes. Like Scratch, Blue Prints.. if you google 'visual scripting' you get the info you want.

[stable perch]

Huh that’s weird, that’s just the base unity lerp node, not a custom node?

[sacred pelican]

Custom nodes behave super weird for me too

Effectively the same, one works, one doesnt

different types used IG

[balmy kettle]

got all packages up to date?

[sly lake]

Is this 6.2?

[sacred pelican]

Does it need visual scripting? That and VS Editor arent updated

6.2.8f1

[sly lake]

Yeah, they're basically treating 6.2 as a beta. Shader graph and terrain are actively being worked on and break in new ways with every release.

[sacred pelican]

then why is it the recommended install in hub lol

So should it work in 6.0?

[sly lake]

If I've learned one thing during nearly two decades of game development, it's that engine developers should never be trusted on their word.

[sly lake]

Probably. Definitely less broken.

[sacred pelican]

Well Ill report back in a) 15 minutes if nothing breaks downgrading b) 3 business days if downgrading breaks my whole project lmao

[potent geyser]

Check the release notes?

[balmy kettle]

it also helps to mention what specific issue you are referring to when asking something like that

No, looks like an animation issue.

[charred fog]

likely as well yeah

[sly lake]

This is what happens if you assign the wrong avatar.

[wraith panther]

Could it be the player mesh thing is too big? Like it fits in the capsule and the collider

Got it from mixamo

[sly lake]

You should have either a CharacterController, or a rigidbody + collider

[wraith panther]

Oh aha, thanks! Im gonna try that

[sly lake]

And you need to use the avatar that was generated for the model.

[sacred pelican]

looks better, idk if this is intended but now there is no color matrix anymore on my custom script (there was this red green yellow one before) but I dont seem to be getting these weird errors anymore

I spoke too soon as soon as I connect it it breaks lol

[wraith panther]

Yeah i have those options for the imported model

[near wigeon]

or empty animator controller / controller without a default animation

[sacred pelican]

I dont think it even recompiles when I make changes I can completely change the output name, type, or amount, and the error will stay the same and nothing in the editor reloads

[stable sky]

help I made Lens Flare and gave it Allow offScreen, and because of this, if I lower the camera where the sun is no longer visible, the glare still remains. How can I make sure that there are no glare when the sun is not visible?

[torn mulch]

hi, I already made one beginner project - Pong. I was thinking if should I start a new, slightly bigger project or polish the current one, like adding ui, sounds, making it “modern” detailed Pong game.

[marble turret]

Add more elements to the Pong game, but add a unique twist. Then publish that game on Itch.io, and then make a bigger more professional game, like a shooter, a simulator or even an RPG.

[torn mulch]

I was thinking about Clash Royale-like game, but I heard the netcode part is very difficult.

[deft rock]

clash royale isn't a "slightly bigger" game..

[nocturne remnant]

Look into 10 games challenge website

[torn mulch]

I thought its just simple defense tower

[nocturne remnant]

hey chris, any experience in 2d hinges? chains/ropes

[torn mulch]

I wasnt thinking about doing evolutions, emotes, clan wars etc

[storm patio]

see the message right below the one you replied to

don't ping random people for help #📖┃code-of-conduct

[dusky forum]

Just ask the question rather than looking for someone who's experienced to answer your question. If you're looking for collaborators, you'll need to go to the forums.

[nocturne remnant]

Okay.

[gray frigate]

isn't that the point of the Allow Offscreen option?

[stable sky]

Without it, you can see that the sun is disappearing from the frame, even though it hasn't completely left the frame.

[stable sky]

there's still some sun, but when I lower the camera, there's no sun, even though it hasn't even covered half of it yet

[gray frigate]

in this case, it seems appropriate for the glare to still appear, even if the sun isn't on the screen

the light is still hitting the camera and bouncing around

It doesn't look like you can tell it to fade out as it gets further off-screen

[stable sky]

well, it looks really strange when there's no sun but there are glare spots

[gray frigate]

I bet you could write a script to turn down the lens flare intensity as the sun goes off-screen

actually, that's a bit annoying: you have to figure out the right screen position for the light

i'd have to think about that for a minute

You could do something angle-based:

float angle = Vector3.Angle(Camera.main.transform.forward, sunLight.transform.forward);
float intensity = Mathf.InverseLerp(100, 140, angle); // 100 degrees -> 0% ; 140 degrees -> 100%

but this would not line up with the sun going off-screen

[wraith panther]

how do u make it look so clean bro?

[stable sky]

in what sense?

[wraith panther]

wait

[wraith panther]

for me the environment looks like this

ur environment is way cleaner

[gray frigate]

notably, GameUp's scene has very simple textures

[stable sky]

I have low poly textures

[gray frigate]

it's also got trees with some pleasasnt distance fog going on

[wraith panther]

ah I see

[wraith panther]

okay so now I added a pivot as parent to the player model, and pivot is right under the feet. but still it goes half in the map

can someone help me setup light baking? I can't seem to figure out how to do it, looking through discussion.unity.com I did find some input and I am able to generate a lightmap but its only affected by the ambient light and not the spot light I am trying to make work.

[rancid whale]

hey y'all, is there an issue with Blender imports in Unity 6.2?

Like if the .blend files are already in the project files, not drag & drop while a Scene is already open.
Or am i misunderstanding how it works? Idk i read somewhere that it's not similar to FBX importing.

[mild radish]

what version of blender do u have installed?

[rancid whale]

The earliest version that still works with my MacOS was 2.9.3 i think

It used to work fine with like, Blender 3.1 though 😢

Never seen this error before

[mild radish]

i figured once it compiles / refreshes it wouldn't matter if u just dragged and dropped it.. or it was in the project already..
when it booted up it'd also compile.. not sure i see a difference in how it gets there

[rancid whale]

word yeah i'd assume so

[mild radish]

i could be wrong tho.. but

[rancid whale]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/blender4-0-blender-could-not-convert-the-blend-file-to-fbx-file/936126/9

apparently some have figured out how it works under the hood. might be a little complicated

oh well, better to go export everything as FBXs anyway

[mild radish]

could be something about the actual .blend file and not unity also

you'd want to test different .blend files possibly different versions to be sure one way or the other

but yea, a classic FBX export/import is the solution i prefer.. (i hate having a blend file, and fbx files in the project) just a single fbx is cleaner imo

[stable sky]

what's the problem? why is the terrain behaving like this?

[mild radish]

cuz theres a big wall/ledge thingy there?

and its painting half the brush on top.. and half the brush on the bottom?

if thats all supposed to be flat.. thats weird

[stable sky]

I fixed everything.

These settings did not match

[dense ferry]

Yo I’m having issues installing the editor, and the tutorial template, anyone got some solutions, Reddit tells me nothing 😵‍💫

[gray frigate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LightingOverview.html

This covers all of the basics.

For troubleshooting, see https://discussions.unity.com/t/lightmapping-troubleshooting-guide/895352

The extreme tl;dr is:

• check "Static" on the objects that should receive baked light
• set the lights to the "Baked "mode
• generate lighting

[somber agate]

did those already

[dense ferry]

Anyone… please 🥺

[charred fog]

[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.

[torpid drift]

Does anyone know how to disable the green check marks in the Project window when using Unity Version Control? I used to only have icons appear for changes but after using the newest version of Unity, I've started having these at all times.

[charred fog]

You should follow the Pathways course as well, it guides through the install process https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

[real patrol]

hi guys, with this poor specs, getting 60-70 FPS in a open world using terrain tools with grass, trees and mountains, is it good?

my first steps into 3D worlds

[rancid whale]

speaking in terms of In-Editor performance, I'd have to say yeah! Do you run any popular games on that same system?

I assume VSync (Game view) is off so the computer is using max resource for max possible FPS.

[plain dagger]

another important question, what resolution is this at?

[real patrol]

i play lol, it runs just fine, mm low resolution within the editor, at full screen i thinks its around 30-40 fps

[rancid whale]

fair. LoL is really cheap to run on low quality settings

[plain dagger]

change it to be 1080p or higher otherwise its worthless to judge

asking if 75 fps is good for some weird low resolution no one will use is not useful

[gray frigate]

that'll also help you to understand how resolution affects performance

I can run URP games on my macbook at native resolution no problem, but HDRP games cause it to explode if I do that

[gusty abyss]

yo rob im kind of new in this should i start learning modeling in blender or unity?

to yk later on use them both to make my own game

[modest meteor]

its best to learn blender, unity has probuilder though but its way more limited but lets you do it directly inside unity. recommended for quick blockouts or when your game's geometry is not super complex

[gusty abyss]

im planning to like make guns and vehicles like gta what do u think?

[rancid whale]

find as much free stuff as you can ... game dev eats up time bro
UnityAssetStore, Fab, Sketchfab, CGTrader, PolyHaven - to name a few

guns and vehicles, there's lots of that available for free

[modest meteor]

blender. if you do want to make them yourself

[gusty abyss]

i mean i wanna make my own visions yk

[gusty abyss]

bet!

ill do that brodie

[rancid whale]

same just warning you

[gusty abyss]

i got u homie

[real patrol]

got 30-35 FPS at 1080 full screen, wondering if i can get more FPS or it's just my poor PC that cant handle any more

[plain dagger]

how about when you have nothing in the scene?

[real patrol]

90+

[rancid whale]

ngl that's pretty brutal
"nothing in scene" like, a plane & some boxes, character controller
a base model MacBook Air can get 180+ FPS

[dense ferry]

Ok, how do I check if it’s being blocked by my anti virus?

[real patrol]

hahaha yeah very limited, gonna use the preview on full HD from now on

[somber agate]

Got the Light baking working. Any idea what is causing these weird rectangle cutouts seen on the Floor and in the the Lightmap?

[dense ferry]

Oh, it’s downloading again!

can be caused by uvs that have overlapping areas. you can fix it by having unity generate uvs for lightmapping

Man this place is so cool, so many cool projects happening at once

[halcyon kettle]

I just landed in this server, where can I find some WIP art being made for unity?

is there an art corner?

[plain dagger]

#1180170818983051344 probably

[halcyon kettle]

nice, thanks

[modest meteor]

there's also some stuff in #🏆┃daily-win

Hi guys. Im making my Texture in Blender and bake its Roughness, Metallic, Color and Normal but when im going to Unity my bird started to look like this.... Pls help me i dont know how fixed then

[plain dagger]

do you have more than 1 texture slot?

*material slot sorry

[zinc crest]

i have 7 slots in Blender now

[plain dagger]

yea so that is actually using 7 materials and you are trying to use 1 only

if you used vertex colours instead that would be easy to then use in 1 material

[sleek forum]

guys is it possible to solo develop a game like cod mobile

[zinc crest]

and how i can fixed them? Im make animation for this bird and im dont know can im divide (selection) it into 7 parts

[vivid cedar]

Is it possible to solo build a house?

Anything is possible with the right know-how and tooling and importantly - time.

Do you have all of the above? Will the quality or completion time be as good as a well funded AAA experienced dev team? Almost certainly not.

[sleek forum]

am i learning too slow?

[vivid cedar]

how should I know

[sleek forum]

i started learning unity 9 months ago

and so far i only know the basics

how to make a balancing game

i know how everything works on the unity window

[vivid cedar]

No, after 9 months you should not expect to be able to make a AAA game on your own

[sleek forum]

but i dont know much about scripting yet

i know how to script a basic balancing game

[vivid cedar]

You should focus on learning to code then

[sleek forum]

oh i am

but i understand everything a code says

but i dont know how to write it from scatch

[plain dagger]

colouring a model by using multiple different materials just to assign a single colour is bad. You can ask further questions on the blender server as this is too off topic

you need more experience

[polar basalt]

why does unity hub try to download vs every time i want to add module

its literally already downloaded

[zinc crest]

okey thank you

[sleek forum]

how long did it take for u to learn c#

or to master it

[plain dagger]

It wont actually do that as it says "installed"

[polar basalt]

it actually does that..

[vivid cedar]

hard to say. I knew a lot of Java before I ever touched C# so that helped. But I would say I've been learning it for 15 years at this point.

[plain dagger]

Ive not had it do that

[polar basalt]

it actually opens the visual studio installer

with button to instal

xdd

[vivid cedar]

to get to a level of "mastery" maybe 4-5 years of programming experience

[plain dagger]

well sucks for you

[sleek forum]

whatt

im in grade 10

is it too late for me to learn?

[plain dagger]

I also started with Java back in the day, went to JS then C# then C++, Python, Rust

[vivid cedar]

no it's not too late. That's about when I started learning to code

[polar basalt]

i started in grade 8

its not late

[balmy kettle]

yes, nobody has ever learned anything after grade 9 that's why grade 10 doesn't actually exist

[plain dagger]

I think i also started around 14/15 years old

[sleek forum]

interesting

[plain dagger]

not an american so i translated to be decent

[sleek forum]

how much hours did u guys spend everyday learning c#

or unity

[plain dagger]

between 0 and ♾️

just do some when you have free time and you will build your skills

At some point though you want to leave tutorial hell

[sleek forum]

how much huors did u spend each day learning c#

[sleek forum]

oh im on my final tutorial

i did like 6-8 tutorials by now

[lapis gate]

you can never escape tutorial hell 😢

[plain dagger]

Then try to make something yourself. You can still research how to do specific things and use docs and videos but the point would be to think more for yourself when creating and programming.

[silver bridge]

Dont spend time learning C#, learn time programing your game

[somber agate]

true

[vivid cedar]

I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday ¯_(ツ)_/¯

it's not about a number of hours

[silver bridge]

that will eventually extrapolate to learning how to code

[vivid cedar]

I also wasn't just learning C# for Unity. I was a CS major and working on non-Unity business stuff

[sleek forum]

im still wondering if i should do cs at university

im just too aware of ai

[solid gyro]

is there a place to debug?

[sleek forum]

explain what u mean

[balmy kettle]

you're putting way too much faith into AI if you think it will make learning cs obsolete in some way

[balmy kettle]

please finish a thought before pressing send

[sleek forum]

click on project setting

[balmy kettle]

this also isn't what render pipeline issues typically look like

[solid gyro]

yeah

[balmy kettle]

screenshot your entire editor window with one of your objects selected so that we can see that it has a sprite renderer

[sleek forum]

check this

[sleek forum]

oh

i had an issue in the past where i used a corrupted render pipline and nothing showed

or smth like that

i forgot

it just didnt show

[solid gyro]
