[gray frigate]

you want to know if it's hitting anything in the first place

[glass kraken]

With a debug.Log

[copper gust]

(we'd also need code)

[glass kraken]

I’ll show you

this is the door itself, his parent is a pivot empty gameobject that only has an animator with open and close state

[gray frigate]

There is no mesh!

The Mesh Collider should be attached to the object that has the Mesh Renderer (and thus, the Mesh Filter) on it

You can put it on another object and then manually assign a mesh, but then the position/rotation/scale may be wrong

[glass kraken]

how can I make a total mesh?

like this is the whole door, I don't want to be moving pieces by pieces

or maybe I should make a box collider instead to make it simpler

[copper gust]

a box collider ignores the problem, it doesn't simplify it

where is your meshrenderer and meshfilter for this door

[glass kraken]

ohh yea fuck

[gray frigate]

A box collider is appropriate if you just want to hit the door itself

[glass kraken]

I've animated the whole door frame + door

[gray frigate]

and don't care about separately hitting, say, the handle

[glass kraken]

I'm so dumb today man, I'm sick$

[gray frigate]

That's reasonable. In that case, I would put a Box Collider on the part that moves

You can still use a mesh collider for the doorframe

(or just use mesh colliders everywhere; it doesn't matter that much)

[glass kraken]

to be honest,I'll make new animation clips and restart from zero, moving the whole thing would be weird no?

[gray frigate]

I see nothing wrong with putting the animator on the entire door + frame

you'll just be animating the door's rotation

[shrewd geyser]

Sometimes I would like to jump back to unity 5... things was so simple at time 😅

[gray frigate]

nothing we're talking about has changed since then :p

[copper gust]

I tend to put animators one parent above stuff, makes it slightly nicer to swap stuff out sometimes

[gray frigate]

yeah, put it on the top-level object

• Doorway <-- animator
  • Frame <-- collider
  • Door <-- collider you raycast onto

[copper gust]

TopLogicController
Animation
AnimationControlledStuff

just me tho

[shrewd geyser]

I can't light up the scene and I can't understand why.... I will have to start a new scene and try to understand what is going on

[gray frigate]

ah, you're talking about your lighting issue

[shrewd geyser]

yes I do

[gray frigate]

Show the inspector for one of your lights.

[shrewd geyser]

The light gets "eated" by some parameters... so the spot is working just if it is very very close the objects

Ahhh NEAR PLANE!!!! 😂

[gray frigate]

The spotlight is getting blocked by the street light

Pushing the near plane out will prevent that

The near plane is how close you can get to the light before you no longer appear in its shadow map

Note that this won't help at all with baked lighting

so you may want to just move the spotlight down

[shrewd geyser]

Nope is not, but I had to increase the intensity do 170 to see some changes..
I think that I'll try the same scene in a new project ... if it's not a shader issue

damn... what a mess 😕

[rigid jetty]

hi guys, i imported a mesh in unity with the material but for some reason i can't edit it, im missing something?

[vivid cedar]

What kind of editing are you trying to do?

[shrewd geyser]

You have to "extract it", because catually it's packed in the fbx and so it's readonly

you can clone (copy) it to be "quick" 🙂

[vivid cedar]

You won't be able to edit the asset itself because that's part fo the imported file, you can make a new object and set a different material using the same mesh.

You can do this easily by putting it in a scene and then right click -> prefab -> Unpack completely

[rigid jetty]

i need to change the texture linear interpolation and add the alpha map

[copper gust]

iirc theres remapping options in the fbx import settings too?

[vivid cedar]

right so you want to change the material, or use a different material

YOu can do it as mentioned

and yeah you can change the fbx settings to make copies of the materials on import which you can then edit if you wish

[rigid jetty]

so wait if i understood correctly i have make a new version for each material/texture for each object?

in order to change the settings

[copper gust]

nah you dont even need copies i dont think, eg.

i could be wrong

[elder haven]

When creating animations for a game (eg, reloading a gun), are they typically created in the modelling program (eg, Blender) or in Unity?

[copper gust]

almost never in unity

outside of prototyping, game-jams etc.

[vivid cedar]

If you want different materials you must make different materials

[hybrid oyster]

Yo so i have the PlayerInput with a public void OnMove and a public void OnJump

My Player has PlayerInput and PlayerInputRouter (which has a CameraTransform (set to ThirdPersonCamera (Cinemeachine Camera, not MainCamera w/ Cinemachine Brain)) and Controller (set to PlayerCharacter (CharacterController)) and basically I keep getting PlayerInputRouter..OnMove and PlayerInputRouter.OnJump not found

my PlayerControls action maps are correct; i have asked around and even asked AI about where the issue is sourced from and it does not know and keeps telling me to make sure everything is correct and ive done that several times

[rigid jetty]

understood thank you, but there is a way to make everything already set when i export the assets from blender or i have to do always this process?

[balmy kettle]

what is the actual, full, error message?

[hybrid oyster]

MissingMethodException: Method 'PlayerInputRouter.OnMove' not found.

[balmy kettle]

and does the PlayerInputRouter component have a method called OnMove?

[hybrid oyster]

yes

[balmy kettle]

you're using the SendMessage option on the PlayerInput component, right? because your method's parameter type is wrong for that

[hybrid oyster]

ahhh okay okay and yes, following some tutorials i actually like edited the original PlayerInputRouter and stuff so it's rough stuff

[elder haven]

Why is that?

[hybrid oyster]

alright ill find some other tutorials later and mess around appreciate that, you're right it's for Invoke Unity Events, but even after the person doesn't move... It's probably because I'm doing all these things differently than normal

[stuck flower]

Because Unity isn't a 3D modeling program

[copper gust]

It’s not good at it

[hybrid oyster]

i got it to work thank you for pointing that out, thank you very much... also i think a larger issue is that i have a Layer between the Player and the Character (for reasons) but yeah and i think this tutorial was like keeping things from me a little bit

[uncut ridge]

Fen can u help me

i created spot light in URP and i rotated a normal cube the light can see but i rotate the textured cube (the material shader is Texture) i cant see the light

[gray frigate]

this shader?

as the name implies, it's an unlit shader! it doesn't care about light at all

you should be using URP/Lit by default

[dire spindle]

im making an bullet hell game i made the enemies follow by navmesh agent but enemies run around the player even if angular speed is 1500 and accelleration is 50 and stopping distance is 0

[gray frigate]

does the player also have a NavMeshAgent?

if so, they're trying to avoid overlapping with the player

[dire spindle]

no it doesnt

wait let me check something

[elder haven]

I have a model in Blender, I have created many animations with it and have since deleted the animations. But now I've imported the animations into Unity, and all the old animations have imported with it. Do you know how I can remove them?

There are no animations present in the Blender file (in the dope sheet) and I've also tried the clean up function in Blender

[dire spindle]

no it isnt i thought if it is touching the capsule player and thats the cause of running around it but when i check it from scene it is 0.3+ studs far

[frail bane]

Why doesnt it work

There are quite a few ways for these to be still be referenced. It can be a bit confusing...

Do you have anything in the Nonlinear Animation editor?

Note that if you can't figure this out on the Blender side, you can just tell Unity to not import animations

either by completely disabling animation importing, or by just deleting individual items from that list

[gray frigate]

Blender keeps track of exactly how many times each data-block is being referenced, but I'm not aware of a way to get a list of these references

idk what you mean where its trying to create it, so I give you the location I set it to create the solution

[balmy kettle]

i mean, in the logs where the hub actually fails to create the project. that is what you need to look at, you don't need to look at it attempting to open the project that it failed to create because we already know the project doesn't exist for it to open.

it seems very weird to be creating the project inside of AppData

okay, what do I do?

[balmy kettle]

try creating a folder at the root of C: and then try creating the project inside of that folder. So like create the folder C:\Projects
then in the hub instead of trying to create the project at C:\MathCore, create it at C:\Projects\MathCore

Follow this file path: 'C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.16f1\Editor\Unity.exe'

Have you got a Unity.exe ?

[frail bane]

no, furthest I can go is C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.16f1\Editor\Unity.exe

[jaunty tangle]

👋 hey all! Im thinking about making the switch away from Godot, and thought Id ask here if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I want to be able to load external scenes created from community at runtime, then instantiate that into some subview port. The kicker here I want the scene to run in isolation with its own scene tree and such.

The gist is these should be like mini-games playable in a viewport that run async. Can anyone point me to the concept that best fits this use case? Im hoping the SceneManager allows for this but I have yet to get a full grasp of it yet, trying to avoid deep diving another engine without getting community thoughts first 😅

[elder haven]

That's the same file path

Does it work to open Unity.exe ?

[frail bane]

C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.16f1*

[balmy kettle]

there is no Editor folder there?

[elder haven]

Ah, that's probs the problem then. You seem to have a half installed Unity

[frail bane]

and inside I have only a

[frail bane]

no

[copper gust]

You’ll wanna look at Addressables and AssetBundles

[elder haven]

You have to install unity using the Unity hub

[frail bane]

wait, isnt it installed along the hub?

[elder haven]

I don't think so

[balmy kettle]

it looks like it is supposed to have been installed, but probably failed to properly install. remove it from the hub and install it again

but also it does not install automatically when you install the hub

[frail bane]

... bro

wtf

(no offense, thx guys!)

[copper gust]

Can you imagine it steam installed all your games when you installed it 😛

[frail bane]

uh... yeah, it did

like, I bought a game, then downloaded steam, and it automatically started the download

[copper gust]

i do not believe that is the case

[frail bane]

btw, do I have to install Visual Studio 2022 again?

or can i use my alkready downloaded one?

[gray frigate]

You can definitely have multiple scenes loaded at once, but you'll need to do some extra work to give them separate physics scenes

(otherwise, they'll all be interacting with each other)

you can also render a specific scene with a camera

[balmy kettle]

not if it is already installed, but you can leave that checked and it won't install a second instance if one is detected

[jaunty tangle]

Thanks, it was a limitation I hit in godot where I could not contain a sub scene from making changes to my root.

[gray frigate]

I haven't actually made a game that uses this before, but I've poked at it a little

The big thing is that you cannot load new assemblies (so, entirely new code) through Addressables/AssetBundles

I presume there's some way to load custom code at runtime (basically the same as loading mods), but that sounds frightening

[glossy topaz]

everytime i try to press anything on this specific transition unity does errors

[balmy kettle]

tried restarting the editor?

[glossy topaz]

yes

[gray frigate]

can you expand the bottom half of the console a bit? i want to see more of the stack trace

[gray frigate]

kinda smells like corruption of the imported asset to me

[glossy topaz]

so i need to reimport my character

[gray frigate]

you can try selecting the animation clips (or the entire model, if they're imported from a model) in the Project window, right clicking, and hitting "Reimport"

this makes Unity throw out the imported data and do it again

(this will not break references)

[glossy topaz]

i reimported him and he still cannot change the transition

[gray frigate]

If you make a new transition between the same states, does the same problem happen?

[glossy topaz]

i am idiot for not trying that

it fixed it

[glass kraken]

hi,i have 2 problems, 1: my player can never enter doorways but he's small and his collider too should easily get through the entrance, 2: when my player interact with a door for the first time, the door opens and closes itself, then it works well

[gray frigate]

weeeeird

I'm not sure the transition itself could even be "broken"

[copper gust]

Via Assembly Injection yeah, my Custom content api for lethal company uses harmony to inject my code then dynamically finds and loads assetbundles to import people’s content

[glass kraken]

https://paste.ofcode.org/psG53awizPxGSqHdFskPWu here's the door script, I call OpenDoor() function when the player interacts with the door

[copper gust]

Generally easier to handcraft many generic kinda nodes (as monobehaviours) that exist in the basegame but custom stuff can use

hi, could someone help me with this please

[fickle gulch]

where can i get help about unity ai assistant

whenever i download the unity assistant i get these errors and it ruins the whole project i dont understand

[vivid cedar]

What version of Unity and the AI assistant are you using?

I'd recommend starting with upgrading to the latest versions of all Unity packages in the package manager and deleting your library folder

[fickle gulch]

i tried deleting library didnt workout im using 6000.2.10f1 and the pre release assistant i guess

[vivid cedar]

I'd recommend starting with upgrading to the latest versions of all Unity packages in the package manager

[fickle gulch]

my version control is not up to date could that be the reason

i updated should i delete the library again?

[vivid cedar]

What is the EnumToLowerCase thing?

Is that a plugin or asset you imported

[fickle gulch]

ive no idea

[vivid cedar]

ok probably part of Unity then

[fickle gulch]

about the ui

[stiff quest]

@wanton sky dude this game is hard what is your highest score as the dev

[wanton sky]

yeah i did

is the music ai made or did you make it

[plain dagger]

whats the program name in player settings? I forget if desktop platforms have that option

[west wren]

For some reason, I can't add anything from my file-explorer into the Unity editor, they're just simple PNGs so I'm not sure why this is happening, could I get some advice?

[wind escarp]

I just got my youtube channel deleted for the type of game that i was making im gonna cry

i already appealed

i hope that they accept it

[fickle gulch]

what was it

[potent moss]

is unity good at all for 2d horror stuff (think: fnaf)? or would it be better to use some other software?

[copper gust]

(fnaf is 3d)

[potent moss]

is it actually

[plain dagger]

Its 3d rendered as 2d with weird tricks so no its a 2d game

[heady gorge]

this might be a really strange question but is it possible to get an object to go the middle of a range where it can send out a raycast to its target?

to explain the usage, i want the camera to rotate to another location if the player potentially goes behind something

i want it to try to find the mid point between two closest two obstacles that would be blocking line of sight, so the player is always in the center

[fickle gulch]

is there a way to fix these errors

[stuck flower]

Actually, it's 2D, using a smilar technique to the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy. 3D models that are snapshotted and played back as a sprite sheet sequence

[copper gust]

You learn something new every day

[west wren]

Okay followup, I also can't add any new components, like at all 😬

[fickle gulch]

any compiler errors?

[heady gorge]

im not even sure what it is i want to do

i just know the result i need

to the camera rotate left and right around a game object, but i dont even know what it is i would have to try to do

maybe i'll just have things fade out of their line of sight so the player can still tell where they are

[dark apex]

hey guys i have this sample scene from blender and when i tried to import it into unity none of the brushstroke textures showed up or just simply it doesnt look anything like the one in blender lol would really appreciate your help on this!! :>>

[slow dirge]

Brushstrokes is not a thing in unity(or anywhere outside blender really). You'll need to bake them into meshes and textures if you want to use them outside blender.

[dark apex]

oohhh i see how do i bake them into meshes and textures??

[slow dirge]

No clue. That's a question for blender discord.

[dark apex]

ohh i see thank you!!

[shadow heron]

This is a unity server not a social space.

[slow dirge]

Maybe also look in the beldner documentation

[cosmic igloo]

hello, so i want to implement a very basic savestate functionality for testing in the most lazy way possible lol. My first thought was to just brute force and have a savestate scene an copy all the objects there, then disable them, to copy back into the main scene. However this immediately broke cuz that calls the awake and disable logic and can often lead to side effects. Any other ideas to make this method work or do I need to get more sophisticated? I’d like to just copy the entire scene data somehow but unity does not seem to want me doing that

[slow dirge]

Are we talking about saving during runtime? Because i don't see how you would save a whole scene outside editor/editing time.

[cosmic igloo]

yeah during runtime

i mean the scene is in memory you would just have to copy it

in theory

[slow dirge]

That's not how it works. In memory you have a lot of references that point to addresses in memory. The next session every address is gonna be different and you're gonna nuke your pc(not really, but it's not gonna work).

That's why serialization is a thing.

[cosmic igloo]

it doesnt need to save between sessions

i mean i get its complicated

i just thought it was worth a shot lol

[slow dirge]

Even if it's not between sessions, you're not gonna get exactly the same slice of memory for your blob of scene data and you definitely wouldn't be able to tell other parts of the game/engine what, where and how to reference in that memory blob

[cosmic igloo]

yeah

i still feel like it might work some of the time if it didn’t call the disable methods

cuz the instantiate method is a pretty decent gameobject copier

I just want it to copy into like nowhere lol like not any active scene no functionailty

theres probably lots of data that it misses tho

i know animators get reset when you enable them so maybe it doesn’t copy that data at all

[slow dirge]

But what are you gonna do with that scene after that? I thought you wanted to save it..?

[slow dirge]

Instantiate would always call awake on the new object.

[cosmic igloo]

no as I said it just needs to be saved as a state to load back up in the same session

[slow dirge]

So something like a snapshot of the scene..?

[cosmic igloo]

yes

maybe not useful enough to be worth making now that I think about it but would be very helpful for making our trailer

[slow dirge]

Well, instantiate would probably be too unreliable... Like, the main issue is how are you gonna restore that state later? You're gonna have one actual object and a clone of it. Replacing the original is gonna take a lot of manual work in every script.

[cosmic igloo]

it would be just deleting every object and instantiating a new copy

but now I see that instantiation probably doesnt do all I need it to

No you are looking for a collaborator

[quaint torrent]

I’m literally not. I’m looking for someone to help support me not someone to work with me

That’s like a business partner and teacher

[junior karma]

unity hub is not opening my projects

it loads then just stops

[hushed hamlet]

Is it an older unity editor? Try manually launching the editor and see if its their licensing thing.

But i mostly see that in 2018 and earlier

[hushed hamlet]

Both aren't really allowed (in this discord) though. There are other places, but this one is more of a public question and public response kind of group.

It is a good idea go join a group where you can share and exchange progress with folks though. Itll help keep you on track.

[grave patrol]

damn, chill

he did help me with my mood

lmao

just a squor

[junior karma]

it wont even create the folder when i restart unity it says project not found 2021.16.3f1

nvm

went on my old unity acc and it worked

[hazy musk]

Hey guys, I have been working on unity VR development for the past 1 year. I want to learn the skills are on demand from the gaming studio or some organisation perspective as I am looking for a roadmap for professional game developers. Can anyone guide me on this?

[south summit]

you all know if unity has a configuration that is doing this to my barrel? i think not its the material type, idk if is the mesh :/

whats the difference between the both inputs handlers of unity? can explain?

[vivid cedar]

It's explained here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.15/manual/index.html

the actual concrete differences are too detailed and too many to list quickly in discord

I recommend trying both systems out to see how they function

[hushed hamlet]

It really varies from studio to studio tbh. Unusually its smaller teams. Its not uncommon to be the only developer on a VR project. General knowledge is ideal. Understanding animation systems, input systems all the obvious stuff.

Learning android build pipelines, how manifest files work, and the "General rules" of a good VR experience is helpful.

[hazy musk]

Are there some specific skill sets which studios and companies demanding right now

[hushed hamlet]

Not so much around the studios I know. Its more generalists in demand in XR

[hazy musk]

As a fresher I have knowledge of creating apps but if I want to learn how senior level architects develop apps

[hazy musk]

I am also in XR development

[hushed hamlet]

I imagine most companies are like us. We have core templates / repos that speed things up. Handles all the multiplayer, hand tracking, 360, AR demos etc. Team plucks the closest samples to the project and just run with it. The most important thing (to me) is avoiding vendor lock and keeping up to date on unity, unreal and webxr

For unity we have our own thing (compatible with XRTK), unreal we are based on GDXR, and webxr our own thing based on a modified aframe + other's. But these days the XR toolkit and AR Foundation is probably good enough for 90% of stuff.

But youll need to check. Some studios are still building for SteamVR only - its hit or miss

[inland river]

studios want people who can make stuff happen following the established conventions of the studio and the ability to fill in gaps in specs and to ask questions where unsure. Specific skills are irrelevant, key is to be able to acquire new skills quickly, which usually means there is a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge.

[hushed hamlet]

More eloquently said 😄

[hazy musk]

If I ask you to suggest the tech which is in demand right now if you are in my place to start with

[inland river]

also understand that for every applicant that "can make stuff happen", there are at least 10 who are just wasting your time.

[hushed hamlet]

Id start with the things I mentioned... Unity and XR Toolkit. Get familiar with the latest XRTK but older ones as well. Android build pipelines. Animation pipelines. Spatial audio plugins (the best one ive found is a discontinued google one but damn its handy). But dont be surprised if the studios using Unity 2019 and the VRTK or SteamVR still for some reason.

[inland river]

for a junior there is no tech they can reasonably have mastered to matter, just be able to "make stuff happen with unity", nobody expects you to be an expert in obscure features. XR is a bit of a special case cause it has some quirks, but really, XR is not anything too special.

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah, like id just pull 20 job listings in your area and see what they are using.

Where i am there was a lot of Unity drama, so 8 of the 10 studios (in the city) went to pure unreal for VR, in a nearby city its still Unity strong. Location matters a lot.

[inland river]

on thing thats usually very different is working on a game and working on a industry project, totally different mindsets.

and within games there is live-service vs premium

a skill would be to understand both dynamics and being able to be effective in both, for games you need 10x more "curiosity" and "initiative" from all team members than in industry projects.

industry projects also often have smaller teams and way shorter lifecycles. ymmv.

[hexed path]

getting my feet wet with asmdefs - trying to configure Editor unit tests to use something from Assembly-CSharp... should Assembly-CSharp be an option here?

[vivid cedar]

no

you need to make an asmdef for your game code too

Unfortunately there's no "getting your feet wet" with asmdefs, you kind of have to dive all the way in

[oblique yew]

I'm having trouble with optimizing mesh generation in a voxel game (My code is in the code-general). Can someone help? I know it might be a big ask but I can't figure out my problems.

Anyone ever realize how much better you could've coded something so you restart entirely
In the midst of that right now. This is my first official build code.

I made a post in code-general with more info but the general gist is that startup takes legit 2 min and my framerate drops to 20-40 with the full terrain in view. Also there's a weird spherical thing below my generated terrain of which I do not know the source.

I think I messed up using burst compiler

[sacred forge]

i have a game idea, and i want opinions on it

Minesweeper x Dungeon Crawler x Balatro (kinda)

Procedural Generation
Tile Multipliers
Items, Shields, Armour, Weaponry etc
Random Items under tiles
points-based shop (like from tile multipliers)
enemies
3 or 4 floors, maybe more, not sure

the shields and armour would protect you from mines and stuff if you accidentally blow one up etc

i dont check servers that often so just ping me if u have a response lol

Ive tried adjusting the pivot point but it hasnt helped

[charred fog]

@glad bloom Don't cross-post please, and use appropriate channels.

If your question is not being answered, then perhaps you've not provided enough information, or people are just unavalible right now.

Also make sure you've looked up the problem as well first, this comes up often.

Layers

[glad bloom]

I am painting the tiles on the same tile palette so they should be in the same layer

[charred fog]

Something you should be explaining in #🖼️┃2d-tools

[glad bloom]

I was just responding to @noble harness 😭 I posted in 2d-tools 2 days ago and havent got a response

[charred fog]

So add proper details to your question there

Pictures say or explain nothing about your setup.

[rustic echo]

Alright guys I need some help here, Unity crashes the moment I click any UI Element and spikes in RAM Usage the moment I click If I click again it will just spike higher and higher and higher and Say waiting for mouse movement and Unity to finish executing code

I hit some type of Brick wall and its getting on my Nerves, Just updated Unity as well thinking it may solve my problem

Is this a known issue for Unity 6.2 at the moment?

[charred fog]

Did you update to latest minor version?

[rustic echo]

I was on 6000.2.5f1, and updated my project to 6000.2.10f1

[charred fog]

You've also ignored the questions that were asked of you there and just reposted the picture later.

Maybe start with answering those in the channel.

[charred fog]

You should try deconstructing your setup to figure out what exactly causing it. Is it just the simple element causing it or something else getting executed?

[glad bloom]

nobody asked me any questions in 2D-tools but thanks for the excellent chat moderation good sir, ill look elsewhere and stay away from the radioactive unity-talk chat! keep up the good work 🫡

[charred fog]

They pinged you with it as well #🖼️┃2d-tools message

[rustic echo]

Let me screen record the issue for you

[charred fog]

You should post it in #🧰┃ui-toolkit with the full problem description.

[rustic echo]

Will do

[fair cove]

Its pretty common to refactor your code often, as you continue to learn new things and organize code for various reasons (performance, readability, maintenance, etc), especially if you dont have a deadline or publisher/investors

Personally for me, it depends on the point of the prototype, if I know im writing bad code just to get the thing working and see if the idea is fun, then yeah ill be nuking that project and starting over with a proper framework and documented plan, otherwise ill plan to make the prototype modular, so I can optimize or remove sections that dont work before committing assets to it - ive also started building frameworks for prototyping to help with that goal, a lot of devs might call that approach "fail fast" or "rapid development"

[proud lake]

hi everyone

i need urgent help for my unity exam

i added a character but wasd is not working for character moving

is anyone wanna help?

god bless you if anyone wanna help

[unreal jewel]

just ask your question, odds are someone will reply

[proud lake]

i need to screen share

i added character to my terrein it didnt orked it gave me laways tps error

[unreal jewel]

you can send screenshots or use text, screenshare is usually more trouble than it's worth

[proud lake]

then i deleted created 3d object but it falling of from the ground not landing

[unreal jewel]

what error?

[proud lake]

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

StarterAssets.ThirdPersonController.Move () (at Assets/Textures/StarterAssets TPS/ThirdPersonController/Scripts/ThirdPersonController.cs:209)

StarterAssets.ThirdPersonController.Update () (at Assets/Textures/StarterAssets TPS/ThirdPersonController/Scripts/ThirdPersonController.cs:122)

[proud lake]

i tried every solution and explaining one by one again will take so much time

[unreal jewel]

well a null reference exception means you're trying to reference an object that is null (aka not assigned/destroyed), show your script (around the line 209)

[proud lake]

i didnt created any scripts

[unreal jewel]

then check you've assigned everything in the inspector correctly

[proud lake]

the problem was about i have player capsule

at isnpector i did everything correctly but wasd didnt worked

w,a,s,d, move i mean

[unreal jewel]

"didn't work" isn't specific enough to troubleshoot

[proud lake]

and then i changed handling to new

[proud lake]

do you have a time for screenshare?

[unreal jewel]

i guess if it has to be screenshare, sure

i'm not sure if this server has any voice channels though?

[proud lake]

ill take a look real wuick

[storm patio]

screensharing is heavily discouraged, it is comparatively an objectively poor way to give info

[hexed path]

I finally got asmdefs under control and have functioning nunit editor tests now. It was a journey. Not sure what I went through is really that relevant b/c some of the problems were unique to the fact that I'm pinned to Unity 2020.3. Thanks to the folks that set me off on the right direction over the last few days.

[gusty abyss]

Why is my mesh either all black or all white? Could the UVs be broken somehow?

[sly lake]

Looks like there's no UV information on that mesh

[gusty abyss]

I generated it myself

[sly lake]

Could have the shader work with world space coordinates instead. Might be better if you want all the objects to line up.

[gusty abyss]

I'll just lookup how to add the uvs to the mesh

[gusty abyss]

Actually that sounds like a good idea

Thanks

[gritty path]

Hello. Is it possible to either change the image's color(hue) or edit an image that is already imported in unity?

[potent geyser]

In the editor? No, it's not an image program

[storm patio]

you can apply colors multiplicatively on SpriteRenderers/Images though

[sly lake]

Yep, but not the hue.

[storm patio]

would this be possible with shaders?

[sly lake]

Yes

I've done this before. Convert the RGB color to HSV, adjust the hue, then back.

[potent geyser]

Creating a pallette shader is a common way to add colour customization to a sprite yeah

[sly lake]

But that's not a sensible way to do image editing. Only sensible if you want that functionality at runtime.

[gritty path]

I want the image to be less saturated but not darker... But don't have photoshop so I want to do it in unity, How can I do this?

[sly lake]

Obtain any other image editor

[gritty path]

How to convert the RGB to HSV in unity?

[sly lake]

Just get Krita lol

Edit the image. I don't think shaders are what you want.

Photopea if you can't install anything.

[gritty path]

ok Ill try but I want to know if I do it with shader, the original image doesnt change?

Imean it wont save the change?

[storm patio]

it doesn't make changes, it basically makes a new image on the screen

[sly lake]

The shader will apply at runtime. It will run on the user's computer.

[gritty path]

Thanks for replying!

[viscid warren]

cna someone help me whit this problem in work mode

btw this is the work camera that doesnt appear in hatchery

[near wigeon]

[sly lake]

Nah, you can fix this permanently

[near wigeon]

this will focus the object and reset the Clipping plane

[viscid warren]

OMG thank you so much

[sly lake]

Click this icon and set the clipping plane manually

Then it'll never happen again

[viscid warren]

i already tried this but it didnt work for some reason

[sly lake]

0.01 / 10000 is usually good

[viscid warren]

ok thank you guys appreciate it

[sly lake]

Never understood why they implemented this absolute anti-feature 😅

[viscid warren]

lol

i dont even know how does it change

i never touch camera settings

[sly lake]

Clipping distance is basically the distance within which the camera can show things

So 0.01 - 10,000 means it can show everything between 1cm from the camera, and 10km

When you scroll it changes for some reason, so your minimum distance is set to something like 5 meters and everything is cutting off.

Hi. Im using custom shader Poiyomi.
And in Flat shading mod, I have to check 'Receive Casted Shadow' to get a shadow like other shaders. Or else the material just glows itself in the dark.
In other shading modes like Texturemap, wrapped, skin... There is also the same option, but I can still get shadow without checking it. Checking it just makes the existing shadow even darker.
I want to know is this because I checked some wrong options or it is how it is
If I turn off the directional light, everything goes black.... But if I turn the light on and make the scene darker, flat material glows. It's on its Max brightness. No emission checked...

❗ Hiya, I'm new to unity and I couldn't find anything about this question online. I am trying to import a unity project file into my project and I can only see the basic scene. I'm not sure if the file is supposed to be this way (I don't think it is, but if there is no fix then I must be wrong) or if I'm doing something obvious wrong. When in game mode the character cannot move although I'm sure it was scripted in the original file - same with audio and assets.

what is the file type that you are trying to import, and how are you importing it

[floral vector]

A unity project file and I imported it in assets -> import package -> custom package

[viral hill]

there is no such thing as a unity project file. what is the actual file type

[floral vector]

Unity package file (.unitypackage)

Sorry my mistake

[viral hill]

after you imported it, were any new files created? did you check that all files were imported?

[grand matrix]

tyy

[floral vector]

All the files were ticked and they are in the asset section in the project files, they are just not placed in the scene and none of the script seems to have imported with it. I don't know if this is stanard or if I did something wrong (thank you for helping me btw)

[viral hill]

did a scene come with the package itself? if not, then you will have to setup everything manually yourself

[floral vector]

The unity package file includes a scene and assets, if what i've said sounds like they should be manually set up then I guess I missinterpretted what I should do

[viral hill]

does the scene that came with the package not include what you want?

[floral vector]

it does its ok I think I just misunderstood what I was supposed to do with the file, thank you for your help!

[junior karma]

I need some assistance

my whole city is multiple meshes so I cant put one mesh collider on the whole city

is there anyway to put it on the city?

[modest meteor]

select all the meshes and then add a mesh collider

[junior karma]

ill try that rq

lagging my pc 1 sec

alright ill check if it works its a vr game 1 sec

[rigid jetty]

why my material is missing when i set it to standard?

[mild radish]

b/c standard materials work for BiRP but not URP

[viral hill]

are you using the birp pipeline?

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error. Shader error usually means you're using a shader incompatible with your current render pipeline

[shadow heron]

When moving in one direction and then moving to another direction how can I make it a bit faster? and when I jump I can't really move anywhere. any ideas?
Script: https://paste.ofcode.org/AzZQR6skZScnvEmEQbnKm3

[viral hill]

cancel out sideways velocity if you press an input that is opposite of the dir that you are already moving in

[mild radish]

i do see movement while ur in the air.. you can just use a multiplier in ur equation to pair with the movement that increases when airborne

[viral hill]

also increase your airSpeed value

[mild radish]

movementDir * airSpeed * multiplier

• if u use 1 as a multiplier nothing changes
• if u use 2 as a multiplier it'll move twice as fast

i like using multipliers in my code when developing.. it makes it quick and easy to adjust a single value to affect an entire system

[viral hill]

wdym by 1 and 2?

[mild radish]

movementDir * airSpeed * 1 = movementDir * airSpeed

[viral hill]

oh you mean hardcoded numbers

[rigid jetty]

oh i see im using universal 3d pipeline, but i was wondering then for some reason when i use this pipeline, it doesn't work with my material and texture alpha clip don't work always

[mild radish]

just for testing ya.. but it'll make it nice and quick to iterate to see what types of values you're hunting for

(over-all)

[rigid jetty]

its just black

[mild radish]

u want the black transparent?

[rigid jetty]

yes

[mild radish]

change Surface Type to transparent? im not 💯 sure on the URP workflow

[rigid jetty]

it just makes everything trasparent

[stuck flower]

You would need to use a material that is compatible with your chosen render pipeline, in this case, URP

[stuck flower]

Lower your threshold

[rigid jetty]

and which i should chose and even if i want to change pipeline because that's is for a assetpack

[rigid jetty]

did but no results

[stuck flower]

Anything in the Universal Render Pipeline folder should work

[stuck flower]

Then your texture does not seem to have any alpha below 1

[viral hill]

check the texture settings

[rigid jetty]

i used this one

[rigid jetty]

i mean i tried rn

[viral hill]

what does the actual texture look like in your assets

send a screenshot

[mild radish]

its not exact.. but i think thats on the right path..

[viral hill]

the problem with this is that your texture has no transparency

the black parts of the texture itself should be transparent

like this

[mild radish]

ayo ☝️ ther ya go.. take the black out of ur image if u can @rigid jetty and you'll have nice and clean transparency
I just grabbed the first "sparks" image i found

[viral hill]

also uncheck alpha is transparency if you are using a png for the texture

[rigid jetty]

infact i tried that rn but for somereason it changed the color

[rigid jetty]

yes is png

this happens

[viral hill]

if it's not supposed to look like that, your mesh is incorrectly setup

[mild radish]

not sure if Unlit would be better for that (not sure how that affects the transparency and stuff)
it'd make the orange pop... it'd be just as bright and vivid as ur texture

[viral hill]

it's not, it doesn't. unlit only affects lighting

[mild radish]

ya, im aware.. but an unlit material will be just as vibrant as the source texture

[viral hill]

oh you mean the colors themselves

[mild radish]

yea

especially if those are like particles may be desired but then again.. idk.. just spitballing

[rigid jetty]

wdym? before i removed the black, the color was correct

[viral hill]

i was talking about the weird shape, i didnt realize there was a problem with the colors at first

[rigid jetty]

like here

[rigid jetty]

oh i see

[mild radish]

ya im not sure why the colors got washed out

[viral hill]

try messing around with the settings. like mentioned, try and use the unlit shader and see if that fixes the color problem

[mild radish]

try changing the workflow.. just a suggestion (no clue if it'll make a difference)

and ya use an unlit shader just to see as well

<unlit - lit>

[viral hill]

i dont think it'll change anything since metallic is already set to 0. i could be wrong tho

[mild radish]

im honestly not sure why the colors arent the same.. (especially in the preview)

i'd be fiddling w/ every little setting possible 😄 lol

[rigid jetty]

i fixed it it was a bug and idk why it happed xD

[mild radish]

ahh hah.. i knew it

darn 🕷️ bugs

[rigid jetty]

ahaha btw thank you guys i appriciate your help ❤️

[viral hill]

i just realized something... the metallic and smoothness sliders dont start at the same spot... smoothness starts a bit farther out...

[mild radish]

no problem 👍

Smoothness: 0.001

[viral hill]

just tried setting it to 0 manually and it's still not the same 😔

[mild radish]

for reference.. where does material issues go now-a-days?
#🔀┃art-asset-workflow ?

[mild radish]

unuseable! 😅 (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[viral hill]

yeah i believe so

[viral hill]

literally unplayable

[sly lake]

That's it, I'm switching to Torque3D

[mild radish]

@viral hill thanks for that.. i'll never unnotice

[stuck flower]

It's a sub-parameter of the Metallic Map, so it's indented slightly

[viral hill]

hey, i cant suffer alone

[stuck flower]

To indicate a hierarchical structure

[mild radish]

ohhhh...

i can live with that

[viral hill]

i doubt it is purposefully indented like 3 pixels

the letters at the start of metallic and smoothness start at the same spots

[stuck flower]

Not purposfully that exact ammount, but the indentation at the front gives it slightly less space to fill out the same slider

[mild radish]

2* but i get the idea 😈 (or is that 3...) meh doesn't matter.. (im not going to fire up my older versions and see if its the same)
curiousity and 🐈 s and what-not

[stuck flower]

Metallic also has a texture field, which is slightly smaller than the amount of indentation

The little bubble thingy is your missing offset

[mild radish]

it actually does check out it seems

identical offset on the Baked dropdown from the color above it

[shadow heron]

would it be something like this?

if ((currentInput.x > 0 && rb.linearVelocity.x < 0) ||
    (currentInput.x < 0 && rb.linearVelocity.x > 0))
{
    Vector3 vel = rb.linearVelocity;
    vel.x = 0;
    rb.linearVelocity = vel;
}

[mild radish]

they know what they're doing

[viral hill]

holy moly digi is right. these are the same

[mild radish]

ur ball can move in 3 dimensions tho right?

[mild radish]

you learn something new everyday

[viral hill]

@stuck flower i apologize for doubting your eminence

[viral hill]

i wouldnt set it to 0 like that

i feel like that would be too harsh of a stop

[shadow heron]

My ball can move in any direction so in all directions if I move in another direction I don't want moving to another direction to be slow

[mild radish]

ya, so you'll need more than just an X conditional you can probably use magnitudes?

[viral hill]

i would make it so that the relation between slow down speed is correlated to current movement speed in a certain direction

high forward movement speed = slow down quickly
low forward movment speed = slow down slowly
(etc. for all other dirs)
probably have a logarithmic growth for how fast the slowdown is

[mild radish]

^ sounds solid to me

[uncut ridge]

yea i used this

but i solve already i changed shader lit URP and dragged texture to albedo normal map and its worked but thank to reply

Whos Hate Shadow Error?

some one sees Update?

hmmm do you change range?

the spot light

[fleet warren]

Yeah, and intensity, and multiplier

I’m on realtime,

And whenever I try to global illuminate it stalls at 45%

[little smelt]

Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie unity question but, I have a two frame idle animation and was wondering how I would increase the time after the second frame because I want it to stay on that frame for a bit before it loops again and I don't know how to increase it. Anyway to fix this or do I just have to add another frame after it?

[uncut ridge]

in 3 D project or 2 d?

ahh okay.. just checking... (thats the general comment I see)

[uncut ridge]

i tell this RoseEelgood change this to Lit And drag your grass texture too albedo map

GUYS question how can I fix the un crouch in a ceiling problem? Though code like you get stuck on the object ceiling when you try (I wanna replicate it like source engine)

[uncut ridge]

here

[mild radish]

you use something like a groundCheck but inverted...

[fleet warren]

Teeny bit confused what that has to do with spot light? My grass textures are working okay

[viral hill]

Cast a ray cast upwards to see if there is a ceiling close by

[mild radish]

when already crouched -> raycast upwards.... if it hits (in the threshold) -> don't allow standing up

if it's clear -> allow standing..

-# #noclipping

[uncut ridge]

Can u help @fleet warren

had problem with Spot light

[fleet warren]

So sorry, usually I deal in blender, I’m hitting the unity learning curve rn

[torn galleon]

Hi. Does anyone know a fix to the floating point error please (other than moving everything closer to the origin, because I don't know how to move the clouds in HDRP the same amount so it doesn't break the illusion every time everything moves back to origin)? Like for example when I get further than 10000 units, stuff start to jitter

[hushed hamlet]

Its kind of like asking how to make 10 + 10 equal 30...

Your choices are quite limited with Unity in that regard. Floating point origin. Maybe using something like DOTS to replace transform floats with doubles.

But youll need to do a lot of experimenting

[torn galleon]

oh okay. Thanks

[sly lake]

Pretty sure the clouds just have an offset parameter somewhere

[torn galleon]

yeah but they like have some kind of "ghosting" when they move. I think is because of how unity renders clouds, like they don't calculate every pixel every frame, they like accumulate the calculations of the pixels

[sly lake]

Oh does that work in world space?

[torn galleon]

I think so

At least last time I checked lol

[torn galleon]

Well I am not using a cloud map offset but I think this is the same when using the Simple Cloud Control mode, but there it can be seen the ghosting effect I mentioned😅

[south summit]

ok and to you @mild radish i will send the code 👀

i did it before and more pretty easier :/

[balmy kettle]

pretty sure that first one was resolved in a later patch, not sure about the second

[dreamy snow]

well attleast somethings fixed so why its not released i dont see any update options within hub ...

[balmy kettle]

have you restarted the hub at any point in the last several weeks? because there have been several patches since that version

[dreamy snow]

ofcs

[balmy kettle]

the most recent being today

[dreamy snow]

multyple times

[balmy kettle]

then show what version you do see

[balmy kettle]

these are the versions you have already installed. you need to select Install Editor to install a different version

[dreamy snow]

oke lol i thoguht it would show thath thers an aupdate or what not .. wasnt that a thing ?

[balmy kettle]

nope

[dreamy snow]

strange.. well anyways so everytiem a new vrsion coems out i need to reimport all my huge proejct all over again in new version

[prisma jackal]

is there a way to make a project 2 or more people can work on at the same time?

[dreamy snow]

seems kinda ridicolous ..

[balmy kettle]

you aren't required to update every patch, you just really need to do it when something that affects you is fixed. like this issue that is affecting you.

Btw if anyone else has this problem, I figured it out, the texture was custom and I hadn’t made it so it could receive light
erm, no because its the materials that determine if it can receive light or not.. not exactly sure what this means by the texture not being able to receive lighting 🤔

unless im just misunderstanding

[fleet warren]

Yes material- I’m sorry I’ve always mixed them up with blender and unity. It’s embarrassing

[mild radish]

which may very well be.. just got finished fighting an alternator and tensioner pully for 3 hours

bit delusional

[tall hearth]

Blender calls them materials too.

[mild radish]

nah thats fine.. gotta get used to the terminology some way or another

texture -> material -> shader

Yes I realize that’s why I said that I mix them up on both platforms

So sorry yall, I’ve tried a buncha stuff to troubleshoot this and came up with zip. I want a volumetric cone on my spotlight but my script isn’t working? Could I have some help please?

[latent lake]

can someone tell me why i cant edit the 3rd axis of this cube? is it cuz the parent is 2d?

[mild radish]

lol, sounds like something that'd make sense..

[mental gale]

Hello

[mild radish]

if you want 3D objects you'd typically use a regular 3D Transform (empty gameobject) and have it sitting in front of the camera..

if theres issues with clipping and things inside existing geometry you'd want to camera stack... have (1) camera rendering the cube ontop of the other camera rendering the world

[copper gust]

iirc the rect tool picks the two axis most predominant in your view since its a 2d tool in nature, you might need to adjust your viewport camera or use the scale tool

[mental gale]

Is possible to navigate only inside my content prefab objects?

[stuck flower]

Because you're using the 2D rect tool

[stuck flower]

What does the Volumetric Spotlight script do

[copper gust]

This question would have to be more specific

what does navigation mean

[mental gale]

As example
My ArrowKeys only Select the objects inside
Actually are navigate between the menus too :/

[copper gust]

This sounds like a dumb answer but yes you can do that

by programming it to do that

[mental gale]

I'm dumb
Don't worry xD

[mental gale]

I'm thinking about how to do this, but I cannot reach at an answer :/

[stuck flower]

Using the UI Selectable navigation? You'll need to set the associations as you spawn them.
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Selectable-navigation.html

Note that the Navigation value there is a struct property, similar to Vector3, so you can't just do .navigation.selectOnUp = you need to do .navigation = with your values set

[fleet warren]

Adds a volumetric cone to my spotlight using its cone parameters, then it reflects the light using the volume

[stuck flower]

Okay, but, how. You should probably share the !code

[formal fulcrum]

Heyo! Sorry, but I'm sooo desperate.
I want to edit the model for VR chat. But I keep running into this problem.
Some models, when exported to Blender as an FBX file and back to Unity, become either 100 times larger or 100 times smaller. Although visually they are the same size, things like contacts and outline become completely incorrect in size, which is what they were originally. Where am I making a mistake and how can I fix it?
Please help me. 😫

[lapis gate]

Do you just mean the scaling values don't represent the model in unity space? Be sure you're applying the transform values before exporting your model from blender

When you import the model, you've also a few more options to modify the unit size

[formal fulcrum]

For Example here the same model after Importing and exporting from unity

This my setting for importing

[lapis gate]

What are these outlines? Inverted hull?

[formal fulcrum]

And expotring

They just 100 times smaller

[lapis gate]

Click Apply Transform there on the export, or otherwise make sure you ctrl-A your model in object mode

I just assume it's a unit issue. Not entirely sure why outlines would extrude different depending on the scaling though

Depends on the shader you're using I guess

[formal fulcrum]

It's not just shaders. For example, contacts senders and recivers also.

[lapis gate]

Well, I'd make sure the model you've placed in your Unity scene conforms to a scaling base size of 1 for its full length

[formal fulcrum]

they fully same sizes. Just dk why but meshes receive diffrent scaling. Or something like this

[lapis gate]

Right, but the question is, are the values on this mesh on the transform data '1' in the scene. If not then the units are not being normalized inside of blender via Apply Transform

[formal fulcrum]

I checked it now witch Apply Transform but sadly the same

[lapis gate]

that's the only thing I can think of is a scaling issue. Even though it's odd this shader wouldn't extrude outlines with normalized values yet instead it seems to behaving such that larger units of scaling act more as a multiplier

[formal fulcrum]

Same stuff witch contact Recivers and senders. For example

In 100 times smaller

I don't understand what to do anymore. 🗿

[lapis gate]

Make a cube in blender -> (S)cale down your model and use the cube (1 meter) as a reference, and center you model at the origin -> in object mode, ctrl + A, Apply Transform (Rotation/Position/Scale)

If issue still persists, try posting your problem in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[formal fulcrum]

Found something more. After exporting back to unity. Covert units change to 1m

[lapis gate]

You want 1m (file) to 1m (unity) if possible

[formal fulcrum]

Need like 1 cm to 0.01 cm BC most models use same units

[lapis gate]

so if you're saying before exporting the scaling was whack, then modifying the scaling furthermore in blender and importing it probably jumbled a lot of it out

but applying the fbx scale in blender and exporting it again will set it to 1:1

so if you don't want that you probably need to omit any of the transform options on the exporting

not sure, haven't really ran into this type of issue before

[formal fulcrum]

And exactly during export and not import?

[lapis gate]

importing to unity doesn't bake those values. It just modifies whatever values that were applied by exporting it from your model software

with that being said, you probably fix your issue by just screwing with the scaling factor there

but ideally when you do create your models you do want to normalized all the values

[hexed path]

I'm working on the Unity Courseware for the Certified Programmer test. It's been a roller coaster of ecstasy and frustration. Making some videos, and trying to go through it slowly.

I'll post something I originally saw attributed to Banksy, "When you are tired, rest, don't quit."

[formal fulcrum]

Pheww thank you found right combination.
In apply Scalings place "All Local"
Looks like Apply unit check box also influences something in the future, but apparently I'll find out later. ))

[balmy glen]

Me gonna soon drop here, using Roblox Studio due to low laptop specs 😭

Still, blender is nice!!

[sly lake]

Sir, this is the Unity server

[main inlet]

is there any assets that fix the jagged terrain or any way to edit the mesh, i either want all sides to be smooth or all sides to be jagged, ideally smooth. For rederencehttps://discussions.unity.com/t/fixing-unitys-jagged-terrain-symmetric-grid/1642319

[sly lake]

Hmm, tessellation maybe? Personally I just use the smooth brush but if you want edges that sharp I think a shader is the only way.

Since terrain doesn't expose any method for overriding mesh generation

[main inlet]

I currently have it set to be low resolution witch gives me the exact look i want aside from the jagged appearance on some edges

I tried smoothing but it smooth the entire edge and rounds it

[broken grove]

cover them with meshes?

most some game usually do that

[main inlet]

thats what im doing but its still shows

I might need to just design the mesh to hide it, im using 1 meter modular objects

[broken grove]

Oh right, the problem is how unity triangulate the terrain, the quads are split in the same way

I honestly cant find solution for that aside swicthing to regular mesh

[lyric spade]

Hi

So I have been assigned a game development project where I have to build a laser puzzle game.
The game idea:
A laser beam is fired from a fixed point, we have to rotate and reposition various mirrors so that the fired laser hits a particular target. Obstacles like walls, blockers and teleporters will be present to make the game a bit more interesting
I am not quite sure on how to go about this project and the tutorials/ csharp that I need to learn for this. It would be great If any experienced person guides me through this, like how do I go about learning this, and avoid the tutorial hell.

(I dont have any prior game development experience)

Is there a specefic help channel

[ivory moat]

The unity documentation also has a lot of useful information, the part that helped me get started with C# in particular are some of the example scripts.

If you're going to be working with lasers, one idea to start with is looking at Physics.Raycast, which is a tool for sending a ray from a start point in a certain direction and telling you where it hit something. Documentation is here, for once you have learnt the basics of c#: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[lyric spade]

This is helpful, so i might need more tools like raycast for making the game, will I get to learn about them in the roadmap of uniytlearn (Asking this because this is not like platformer where tutorials are easily available)

[ivory moat]

Most channels in the server are for help, there's a lot of different channels for different types of help. For example #💻┃code-beginner for help with basic code, but you can have a look through and decide which one is most relevant (e.g. if a raycast isn't doing what you want it to probably ask in #⚛️┃physics). Most people will be most able to help with more specific questions.

[ivory moat]

I haven't really looked at unitylearn's roadmap, but there's a few quick guides like setting up the editor that might help you to get started with the editor. But if you want to make a specific type of thing, often there's a page on unity documentation that will tell you how to start. Like if you wanted to make a 2d tilemap you could google unity 2d tilemap and there's a page that shows you how to make one and explains what you can do with it

The hardest part is learning c# basics in my opinion

[lyric spade]

Yep Im on it

If you haven't got a good way to learn the basics, personally I think that https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php is maybe a good place to start, since it's a free site that will get you through the basic syntax etc, and I've used some of their stuff to help learn C

Just skip over some of the bits that are more related to console input/output as unity has its own systems

[light loom]

hey, just looking for advice
I want to pursue gamedev as a career not just a hobby, it was a hobby for I while
I have knowledge in coding in general and made some really simple non-finished prototypes and a HUGE multiplayer cartoonish physics based FPS game
the problem here is that I have always been learning through random youtube tutorials which never teach good practices in coding or organizing a project
and I just hopped into a HUGE project skipping some base essentials
it didn't matter because it was just a hobby but now it matters

advice on how to continue gamedev properly ?

Do I need to click "Save Project" every time I make any change in for example: Create new material, add new animation keyframes etc.? Or add/remove any gameobject in Hierarchy.

I do click it often but I'm not sure when it's needed.

I press Ctrl + S more often.

[deft rock]

no. I almost never use 'save project' .. the only saving you definitely need to do is saving the scene

[woeful spear]

OK. So I wonder when should I use it.

[deft rock]

Closing Unity saves the project (it will prompt to save a scene with unsaved changes).

The only time I"ll use 'save project' is when some data has been changed in a scriptable object and I want to comit it to git while Unity is open

[slow dirge]

From my experience the change would be saved without saving the project or closing the editor. 🤔

[deft rock]

I'll expand on that and say sometimes i'll need to do that

Already said about closing

[woeful spear]

I'll probably find about in documentation. I'd read there.

[sly lake]

Only for asset changes, not scene changes.

I do it a lot since I rarely close Unity without crashing 😅

[fair cove]

I would suggest learning about code patterns and project organization, if you dont already use tools like git and Trello it might be good to look into how they work - some channels I really like for good programming habits are "Infallible Code", "Jason Storey", "Jason Weimann" and "git-amend", I also personally like watching "Terodev" since he has a more comedic approach but still some good habits, and "Code Monkey" also has some really good tips in general

I think practicing code architecture and project organization both in Unity and with github, will be a big help for any sized project, especially if you can get used to using Assembly Definitions and namespaces, and I personally prefer to split my code into generic "Systems" that act as base logic for "Features" to build specific gameplay (this way most of my game is reusable across projects and easy to change later), and I like to use ScriptableObjects as data containers so I dont have to hunt references across prefabs to make balance/design changes, but there are many ways to handle different parts of a project, the most important thing is to have some kind of structure that you can maintain throughout development

Hello friend, I just uploaded my game to the App Store, but it got flagged for “design spam.” My game’s UI and gameplay are completely different from other games, and I even changed all the UI elements — but the App Store still marks it as design spam. Do you have any solution for this?

[mint lake]

well, i have published a game to the mac app store(just for testing), maybe if you could provide there detailed response?,

[wide venture]

Thanks! I published it to the Mac App Store just for testing. I think the “design spam” issue usually happens when an app looks too similar to others. I’ve already tried changing the app’s name, icon, and description to make it unique, but it still gets flagged as design spam

[mint lake]

no i want to know what the apple guys said to you, like what reason?, design spam is just the title?

[naive estuary]

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong with this character controller? It's getting stuck on diagonal movement by a wall about the size of step distance while going up.

[arctic portal]

i have a working truck. when i drive it on a 3d plane mesh, its drives just like how i want it to. however when i drive it on a terrain (fully flat), it skids a lot for some reason. i assigned the same physics material to both the terrain and the plane but i can still notice a big difference while driving on both. can someone please help?

[lapis gate]

Seems odd, if I were to guess it has something to do with step height which is failing so instead of continuing hugging the wall it's just stopping you dead in your tracks.

I'd try just increasing the step height parameter and see how that goes

[naive estuary]

it stops slightly earlier this time.

[lapis gate]

This the unity character controller right?

[naive estuary]

Yep

my settings

[lapis gate]

I could run you through the hundreds of issues it may be, but I suggest that you just grab KCC off the asset store and just read into that API

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131
That specifically

[naive estuary]

I have used this package before. I don't need anything fancy for the current project.

[lapis gate]

It's less about it being fancy and more that its sloping just works

[sour salmon]

just asking but how do you fix this

it's basically just rendering only when you get close to it

[deft rock]

Probably just need increase the draw distance on the camera - the field is 'far plane' iirc

[potent geyser]

If it's clipping at that range, untouched, then make sure your objects are not massive.

[golden patrol]

Hey guys. Is it normal that UnityHub.exe process is trying to access a folder in the project called ./plastic All the time ? I have no Plastic package installed. Also, since Unity is inside UnityHub, not sure if it's Unity or the Hub who's trying to access it. Any ideas about this?

[deft rock]

plastic is the original name version control system that Unity bought a couple/ few years ago

[ocean pumice]

plastic is the SCM from Unity, also called dev ops nowadays

[deft rock]

The package name in the PM is 'Unity Version Control' these days - which is included, by default, in every new project, annoyingly

[golden patrol]

I know what Plastic is. But why is UnityHub trying to access it all the time? (It happens while my project hangs during a Domain Reload, btw)

[sly lake]

Should be normal that they try to access it

[golden patrol]

I know what it is. I have nothing like that installed. I have no version control package

[sly lake]

Since it has UVCS integration

[deft rock]

when you create a new project it's auto selected as a cloud project .. I assume that means UVCS

[ocean pumice]

Because its checking against plastic if there are updates from cloud sync or similar. Its just build within UnityHub

[golden patrol]

Ok. I'm trying to debug what's causing the hangs every minute

Aha . My project is connected to cloud, yep. But I don't use it

[deft rock]

make sure to change that to non-cloud when you create a project

[sly lake]

No, needs to be setup separately

Cloud projects don't automatically get a VCS repo

[golden patrol]

Yeah. I can't change it now. But I need to solve the problem

[ocean pumice]

But they are in the cloud, which is I guess still somehow hooked into plastic

[golden patrol]

I tried every single fix I found . Nothing worked. I just can't get a hint of what is causing a hang when I enter or exit play mode. (and sometimes when I compile)

Could this be affecting the Domain Reload? I don't think so.

[deft rock]

a hang that requires you to kill the task and relaunch ?

[golden patrol]

But it's funny it's the only thing that shows up in Process Monitor , Trying to find the .plastic folder without success, and accessing Registry keys. all the time...

[golden patrol]

Yep. For hours.

I've tried all methods I found.

[deft rock]

is the VCS package still imported in the project ?

[golden patrol]

Also funny that when I disable Burst Compilation, I still get threads doing Burst compilation during the hang (when I stop using Visual Studio)

[deft rock]

listing them would be useful so we don't repeat..

[golden patrol]

• Upgrading to latest LTS Unity (2022.3.62f3) doesn't work.

• Remove all version control related packages

• No antivirus. Native one ignores unity also
• Enabling Burst Logs on start to get additional info, nothing there
• Enabling Diagnostics -> Core -> Debug logs. Nothing added that looks important

[tall hearth]

Does it do anything when showing? Is it using the network?

[deft rock]

doing it as 1 msg would be best 😄

[golden patrol]

Ah. yeah 🤷‍♀️ sorry

To be honest wasn't expecting to get any answer here. XD thank you

I added all in the same place

[golden patrol]

?.. not sure what you mean

Why is Burst compiling (has threads doing something) when Burst is disabled? that's weird

Also nobody else working with me has the same problem. It's just me (apparently)

[deft rock]

I'm all out of ideas tbh .. if by the end of discussion here there's no solution, I'd suggest posting on the forums would be a better idea. In the hub section -- assuming you haven't already

Hub devs may reply there, they definitely won't here

[golden patrol]

I have a forum thread, I hope somebody helps me there. There's somebody from Unity answering at least.

https://discussions.unity.com/t/editor-stuck-on-domain-reload-or-complete-domain-burst-threads/1692576/8

It's not in the hub, the process monitor assumes it's the hub, but it's unity.

It's the parent process.

Maybe I should start the project without the hub 🤷‍♀️

oh... so there's no way to open Unity but using the hub?

It's been a while since I don't try this

Ehm. Is it a problem that unity projects are stored on a different SSD drive than the Unity installation (and C:) ? In terms of speed and all that

[elder ember]

Can i use unity effect to unreal engine

[tall hearth]

Unless the projects are on a hdd i would say no

[tall hearth]

Sorry wdym

[sly lake]

You can install Unity without the hub. Don't really recommend, since it makes a lot of things harder, but you still can.

[broken grove]

But iirc you still need hub to activate unity

[sly lake]

You can generate an offline license file

[golden patrol]

yes but If I already have it installed, how can I open Unity without the connection to the hub? Because Unity.exe opens UnityHub anyway

[sly lake]

Might be a pro only feature

[elder ember]

i like to use https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/stylized-vfx-bundle-340466 for unreal engine
can i do that

[balmy kettle]

as with everything. check the license

[sly lake]

Legally, yes. The license allows it.

Though the particle effects themselves are Unity-specific

But you can use the textures if you want.

[tall hearth]

I highly doubt .unity files will easily import over to unreal

[elder ember]

i could use meshs

[sly lake]

Yeah, there's bound to be useable stuff in there but you'll have to recreate the effects in Niagara.

[tall hearth]

You really plan to spend 165 cad on an asset you wont even get the full use of?

[strong fable]

how do I spawn a camera and write the world normals of everything that camera sees to a rendertexture? I've read about RenderWithShader and it apparently isnt supported in urp and I have no idea how else to achieve this.

[pure igloo]

i created a spline, but the problem is that the enemy sometimes, appears to be out of the path (like in the picture). i wanna know how i can see both the object and the spline at the same time, so that i can resolve the spline positions

[potent geyser]

If it's just for debugging purposes, use a Debug.DrawLine and iterate through the spline connecting lines along the way. Or if it's something you want to see as an object, the spline component has a SplineExtrude component you can add just to quickly visualize where it is.

[pure igloo]

it shows an error while i try to add extrude onto the game object

[dire spindle]

i cant understand and write a code about objectpooling for my game no matter what i try should i just give up on this game

[pure igloo]

can't add component MeshFilterto duck because it conflicts with the existing SpriteRenderer derived component

[potent geyser]

Why would you put the spline extrude component on the duck? Put it on the spline

[sly lake]

Object pooling is just creating objects in advance, so that you can retrieve them later without having to re-create them every time.

[dire spindle]

ik but i need it in some complicated way. I'm making a bullet hell game, and for example, if 1500 enemies are coming in wave 40, I need to send them in 10 groups of up to 150 enemies each, and when they're all gone, the wave will advance. But I've watched a bunch of tutorials and looked at the documentation, and I still don't understand anything. I wanted the AI to do it, but even that couldn't manage it.

[sly lake]

Maybe pick up a simpler project then

[strong fable]

instead of calling Instantiate every time an enemy appears you just create all 1500 enemies or more if needed at the start and disable them. then u can enable 150 of them for a wave and when they die u disable them again, reset their health and whatever to use them again.

[potent geyser]

The fact you have to send 10 groups of 150 enemies each has nothing to do with preventing you from doing object pooling in a basic way
