Do you have duplicates of these models overlapping eachother in the scene by accident?

If not, do your models have any UVs?

hey unity team can unity make a ai for unity which will like do the job of vibe making games?? just by promt > like genni 3 but most powerful

You are right models dont have uvs. Question does scale of objects effect bake results?

[storm patio]

please don't try to ping @here lmao

[balmy kettle]

take the AI proselytizing to the containment thread https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1352599815770341479

[plain dagger]

It will affect the light it gets (hopefully that's obvious) but the texel scale won't change so a very stretched model may yield poor results. There is a debug view for scene view to see the texel density and baked light only to help.

ah, camera is at Z:0, put that at -10 because 0 is less than 0.3 units from 0 which means it cannot see the bird

[left hull]

Whats the best way to go at 2d shadows

[potent geyser]

Use Unity's 2D lights + shadows

[left hull]

how tho i got a global light but no shadows

[plain dagger]

isnt there a component to add to make sprites cast shadows?

[potent geyser]

Use the 2D renderer + 2D lights and set up shadow casters appropriaately.

[plain dagger]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/urp/2DShadows.html

[left hull]

Thanks everyone

[spark siren]

i think that was part of the issue but still doesn't show bird object

[storm patio]

make sure the bird is actually in the viewport

perhaps disable gizmos there, it might be covering up the bird

the bird gameobject is certainly visible as indicated by the gizmo though

[spark siren]

ah. got it

thanks yall

also any detailed guide on inout system?

[balmy kettle]

if your bird is showing up that small when scaled to 8x on each axis then you need to adjust the pixels per unit setting on your texture because it's way too high

[storm patio]

there are several on google, and there is an official one on the package's manual as well

[spark siren]

okay

[glacial flax]

why is my canvas resizing like that ?

[mystic abyss]

Can I force unity to do a domain reload, besides altering code? I just want to set up a MenuItem to automatically do it

[pearl oyster]

The canvas is the same size as the game window. If you change the window aspect ratio the canvas changes to match

[glacial flax]

oh ok

[mystic abyss]

oh, nvm. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.RequestScriptReload.html seems to do it!

[glacial flax]

and how do I make it bigger? It's too small right now and I can't resize it I don't know why

[pearl oyster]

You don't make the canvas bigger. You make the squares smaller

[glacial flax]

oh ok

[brisk rivet]

Is there a way I can ensure the camera always displays the entirety of the canvas (Screen Game Object)?

This is my Canvas setting

[balmy kettle]

the canvas should be in screen space not world space for that behavior

[brisk rivet]

But then the canvas is awfully small.

I'm trying to get a 1100px * 1950px screen.

[balmy kettle]

you need to read the information pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how to correctly use the canvas

[brisk rivet]

That's just layout. I'm talking about resolution though. @balmy kettle

[balmy kettle]

you need to understand both. which the documentation covers.

[brisk rivet]

I'm not interested in that part yet though.

Can you address my question? Just sending me to some documentation without even hinting which part isn't much help.

If you can't, I can wait for someone who may be able to.

[balmy kettle]

i told you, you need to understand how the canvas works. have you considered actually looking at the information about the canvas in the linked documentation

[brisk rivet]

I know how to use UI. I'm just struggling to resize the canvas to the resolution I want with the screen-space mode.

[brisk rivet]

I did, it didn't help. It's why I'm asking here.

[balmy kettle]

congrats, you just outed yourself that you didn't

[brisk rivet]

I wouldn't ask if the documentation explained...

[balmy kettle]

If the screen is resized or changes resolution, the Canvas will automatically change size to match this.
stop lying and actually read the documentation

[glossy topaz]

if apply root motion is off, why does my gun move to the distance and become 100X bigger?

[brisk rivet]

Yes, and the camera has no way of being resized to the pixel ratio I told you 🤦‍♂️

Stop giving half-assed answers...

The camera matches hardware screen ratio.

Which will be different per device.

[balmy kettle]

now you get to learn about how to anchor and scale your UI

[brisk rivet]

Dude, just stop.

You're legit more useless than anyone I've ever met.

[balmy kettle]

it's also not the hardware ratio it follows, it's the resolution set in software that it follows

[gritty path]

Hello. I want the bone to be snapped to a vertex, In blender I did it with copy location constraint, but I heard unity doesn't support vertex groups.... So I want to ask how to do this in unity?

[balmy kettle]

considering you are ignoring everything about how the UI works, i'd consider looking in a mirror if i were you

[brisk rivet]

How about you just don't respond to my question & let someone else assist?

Move on with your life. Surely it's more entertaining than responding to someone over Discord, at least I'd hope so.

[balmy kettle]

go learn how UI works and stop trying to act all tough by insulting the people trying to provide information to you

[brisk rivet]

I don't need you to tell me what I need to learn. Move on man.

Get a life.

(and he can't move on...)

[lost jewel]

hey guys lets all calm down

[balmy kettle]

[brisk rivet]

How unhappy must someone's life be for you to consistently pester me when I've said I don't want your help?

Yikes.

[lost jewel]

also uhm i am kinda having buggy issues with my unity prototype im making

[brisk rivet]

The canvas wasn't able to be resized when in the Screen Space mode.

Resizing gets disabled.

[lost jewel]

may i ask what that does?

[brisk rivet]

Since it snaps to the camera resizing.

[balmy kettle]

what are you referring to?

[viral hill]

the canvas has a canvas scaler component

[brisk rivet]

Yet it has no easy way to scale it. @viral hill

At least to the resolution I want

Which is 1100x1950

[vivid imp]

Do you know if there will be a meet up of this discord?

[viral hill]

why are you using constant physical size...?

there is a scale with screen size mode

[brisk rivet]

Yes, but that'll differ if the device changes.

As in, it will make some items on the canvas get bigger

or smaller

depending on device screen

[lost jewel]

so earlier yesterday i was trying to do a camera switch with the fps camera to cinemachine however when i did that the whole prototype fell apart and now im having issues where the fps player just falls off under the map for some reason like in game

[viral hill]

which is why you learn how to properly anchor your ui elements

[brisk rivet]

I would rather it clip rather than scale.

[balmy kettle]

do the player and the ground both have colliders?

[stuck flower]

If you don't want them anchored to the screen size, don't do that then?

[lost jewel]

the player does the ground is just a plane floor

[stuck flower]

You're in total control of this

[brisk rivet]

Anchor will just hold the items to point. Not that it'll stop the scaling.

[stuck flower]

You can just not base their size on the canvas size

[lost jewel]

also im using the super character controller

[dapper topaz]

can someone help with a main menu glitch?

[brisk rivet]

How exactly do I do that?

[balmy kettle]

i have no idea what that is or how it works. i presume the ground still needs a collider for it to actually collide though

[jade orbit]

Hey i want to uses 2 cameras

[gritty path]

Is it impossible a bone to track a location of vertex.... Then how do i make badge like things to be attached on the fabric mesh

[stuck flower]

Don't anchor them to multiple sides of the canvas

[viral hill]

overlay camera using layer masks

youre on the right track

[brisk rivet]

For example, I've anchored the background to the bottom left.

[lost jewel]

it does it was working fine before i was trying to get copilot to do the camera switching something in one of the scripts messed something up

[brisk rivet]

I don't want this to scale with respect to the camera resolution changing.

[stuck flower]

So then that has a fixed size

[brisk rivet]

And if the camera resolution changes, so will it, that's my issue.

[balmy kettle]

if it's a code issue then you need to provide the code in a code channel. and make sure to mention you use AI as some people (like myself) do not want to help with AI generated code

[stuck flower]

no it won't

[brisk rivet]

I mean, it's doing that. I just tested.

With different aspect ratios.

[stuck flower]

Then it's a child object of something that is stretching

Actually, even then I don't think it would be

[brisk rivet]

Oh, so it needs to not be a child object of the Screen?

[stuck flower]

You'd need to be changing scale

[brisk rivet]

No, scale is constant.

[stuck flower]

which UI just doesn't do on its own

[stuck flower]

Can you show before and after screenshots of this? Keep the inspector of this object open and resize the game window?

Full screenshots, window, inspector, et al

[brisk rivet]

You can even see the size change in the Scene View

[stuck flower]

With this object's inspector visible

Also don't crop the hierarchy

[potent geyser]

What does the canvas scaler component look like for the screen canvas?

[stuck flower]

That looks like the same size, just on a smaller screen

Stuff that's off the edges of the canvas aren't gonna show

[tawdry nebula]

my background along with some traps keep deissappearing anyone know why i might be happening

[stuck flower]

and a canvas taller than its height is going to have extra blank space

[brisk rivet]

Is it? It looks like it's changed in the scene view.

[stuck flower]

The canvas is bigger

[balmy kettle]

you'll need to provide more information than that

[stuck flower]

that's to be expected

[brisk rivet]

Yeah but that's exactly what I don't want.

I want it to remain the same even with a bigger canvas.

And remain same even with smaller canvas

[potent geyser]

Match the match = the height on your canvas scalar

[brisk rivet]

Essentially, a fixed size.

[stuck flower]

Then set it to constant

[brisk rivet]

Yeah, that's what I'm asking.

How do I set it to constant?

[stuck flower]

UI Scale Mode

[brisk rivet]

But then that causes this weird width and height for the canvas..

[tawdry nebula]

im using tile map along with lights it only happens after going past a certain point

[brisk rivet]

which i can't change

[stuck flower]

Because you change those in the canvas

not the transform

[brisk rivet]

Yeah, but I can't change them in the canvas is my issue.

[stuck flower]

why not

[brisk rivet]

There's no option?

[stuck flower]

What's the canvas scaler look like

[brisk rivet]

I'm half tempted to just ignore this and force it via a C# script at this point. The whole editor is just so confusing regarding this. It makes development workflow a lot more annoying but whatever.

[jade orbit]

Okay thank you i hope i can figure it out from her

[stuck flower]

With that set, since the canvas is screen space, it's going to be set to whatever the size in pixels your screen is

the number will change as the screen size changes

[plain dagger]

The canvas scaler is doing its job hence why the scale is being changed and locked

[brisk rivet]

yeah, as I said, stuff changing because of screen size is what I'm wanting to avoid

I want a fixed constant size.

[plain dagger]

change it to "scale with screen size"

[stuck flower]

So, you don't want a screen space canvas

[brisk rivet]

Screen size changes? Just add black bars.

[brisk rivet]

No. Hence why I had it to the other one.

And was told to change it to this one.

I just want the camera to show the full canvas.

It can show more, just never less.

And the canvas I want to have a fixed resolution.

[potent geyser]

(They need to stretch their container, and then change the slider to height matching)

🏃‍♂️

[brisk rivet]

Tried that Osteel

[stuck flower]

...this sounds like you do want scaling with the screen size

You seem to be saying you don't, then describing things that screen-scaling canvases do?

[tawdry nebula]

anyone?

[brisk rivet]

Assume the black box is the screen

[balmy kettle]

i'm fairly sure they don't currently understand that a screen only has so many pixels so no matter what, if the screen is not actually large enough then the resolution of what they are trying to display will need to scale down

[brisk rivet]

and the red is the canvas

Both are acceptable.

But if the black box is smaller than the red one

that isn't acceptable

[tawdry nebula]

this

[stuck flower]

So, height matching scale with screen size

[brisk rivet]

And if that happens, I would rather the game crashes.

This is also acceptable

So no scaling whatsoever

Canvas is fixed size

Screen size >= Canvas size

or game crash

[plain dagger]

Using the correct canvas scaling mode as well as anchor placement will give you the results you want

because anchors also determine how the rect will be positioned and its size

[brisk rivet]

The Red thing is the canvas.

Not the background

[plain dagger]

No, your canvas will cover the screen, inside it you can have a container object that covers the red area

THEN inside this container you can put what you desire

[brisk rivet]

Will the scaling of things inside be relative to the canvas or the container?

If it's container, that's acceptable.

[plain dagger]

container, and the containers anchors will control its placement and sizing

[brisk rivet]

Okay, that works.

Thanks.

[plain dagger]

learning about anchors and how it controls layout and size will really really help you here

[brisk rivet]

I wasn't sure a container will cause relativity to change.

[plain dagger]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/UIBasicLayout.html#anchors

[brisk rivet]

I was under impression everything will be relative to the canvas

[polar basalt]

guys, is there any way i could mimic sound slowing down when time slows down? just changing pitch makes it sound super weird and annoying, tried audio filters but idk what i have to change to make this work

[viral hill]

the reason changing pitch makes it sound weird is because that's how soundwaves work. it is dependent on the frequency of soundwaves themselves. a differing pitch means that that the way sound is processed is inherently different

[polar basalt]

yes but pitch is not what i need

its something else for sure

[viral hill]

pitch is exactly what you need, you just dont seem to like the result

[gritty path]

Hello. I want to make a bone to follow a mesh's vertex. or mesh's skin... Locate a bone on the surface of a mesh.
So i can make a dangling badges on the fabric mesh. Parenting alone can't do this. The bone will position inside of a mesh.
How can I achieve this effect?

[granite sorrel]

yeah not really

that's the reason i was asking

[hushed hamlet]

Audio filters won't really do it. You'd need to mess with code and actually modify the audio waves. And even then, doing it without clipping is going to be really tough. You'd essentially need to wait for a 0 frame to start and 0 frame to end to prevent clipping. But you also would want to monitor high/low folds so the loop is right. The problem there of course is that the loop won't always match the frame goal... so you may need to cross fade them (lerp sample A and B).

You can access the raw data. You would need to duplicate / remove audio frames to keep the pitch consistent and slow down the sound. But where that loop snipping happens is not trivial.

It looks like you also may be able to do this via fmod (slow down the speed of of play but increase the pitch proportionally).
https://qa.fmod.com/t/how-to-adjust-the-speed-of-the-audio-without-changing-the-pitch/20831/2

Which is, honestly, the better answer than trying to diy it.

[viral hill]

"slow down the speed of of play but increase the pitch proportionally"

wouldn't that just put you back where you started?

[polar basalt]

i think i know what he means

pitch doesnt change but the speed of the audio changes

thats kinda what i would need ,but i think i found a better way to do it, but i need to test it rq

[viral hill]

if you slow down the audio by 50% then increase pitch by 50%, you effectively accomplished nothing

everything will be the same as before you made any changes to the audio

[hushed hamlet]

No, fmod has a unity compatible plugin to increase the pitch without affecting the timescale.

[polar basalt]

you can do that in audacity too

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah exactly its just on-demand

Its because they want the audio to slow but not the overall pitch to change.

[polar basalt]

basically stretch it on the x axis idk how else to explain

[hushed hamlet]

Itll sound watery but probably good for a slow mo type effect

[viral hill]

wouldnt this make it sound choppy? im a bit confused on how this works

[hushed hamlet]

It would be fun to play with tbh

[viral hill]

unless there is a built in smoothing factor of sorts that i am too inexperienced to understand

[violet thunder]

It doesn't sound too great though

[hushed hamlet]

It depends a lot on your source files. But usually itll sound a little unusual. What it does is repeat the last frames into the in-between with a smooth between them

So itll maintain the pitch by inventing or removing audio frames between them. Its why you are kind of stuck with a plugin for it.

[hushed hamlet]

Its probably better to go the other way. Everything is recorded at 50% of the pitch and speed, and sped up. That'll remove instead of add frames. But it is what it is

[viral hill]

ah so there is a smoothing factor. seems super hacky ngl

[hushed hamlet]

Yup, just a path forward :D. Everything in audio is hacky to some degree.

Its akin to trying to upscale a jpg (slowing audio down) versus downscaling one (speeding it up).

Unityll also add its own smoothing of sorts with the audio file compression when it goes to build. So youll wanna hear it on device too. But it just depends on why they want the audio slower.

I.e. if its a 5 second bullet time, itll probably sound awesome. If its 2 minutes of game play, probably want to think of the more advanced options. And if the speed is exact, you could even just render audio twice and probably get away with a cross fade.

Yatta yatta, play around with it, fmod is probably the quickest.

[hushed hamlet]

Sometimes thats the right answer. Unity UI tries really hard to be resolution agnostic. Your setting looks right to try and set pixel accuracy, and probably just needs anchoring / sub panels. But ive been on some massive UI heavy projects where you just need to do things manually (I had one client insisting on switching out 200+ icons in 4 different resolutions for iOS, because they were worried about blur).

But yeah I wouldnt do this personally, but you can set a fixed constant size. The canvas will do whatever to fit the screen. Then use custom or coded sizes on the elements. So the first panel could be specifically 1920 x 1080 and always the same size. You could add horizontal/ vertical layout groups to add black bars. Its just going to pop off screen on other resolutions.

[brisk rivet]

The folks in here mostly volunteer their time while working on their own games so one on one DMs and support isnt really a thing.

Its more of a question & answer discord.

You want to show a clean screen shot with the issue (is this a main Menu?), a very clear what isnt working, and be prepared to need to show the code, inspector and how things are setup

Not like a layer mask or culling.

I want my overlay camera to ONLY SEE whats in the circle and nothing else

[hushed hamlet]

That red error is gone now yes?

[dapper topaz]

yeah

but it stilldont work

[vivid cedar]

render it to a rendertexture and display that in a RawImage with a circular UI mask over it

[hushed hamlet]

You probably judt need to add the PlayGame(...) to your button. When you hit it, look at the console and see if it generates an error.

[dapper topaz]

this?

[hushed hamlet]

No, sorry, your code wasnt the problem

In the inspector, your Button has a UnityEvent you can add commands to. You need to make sure it is connected to the command you made. The same as you setup the Quit button.

[jade orbit]

So im having issues with what seems to me a simple post processing effect.
I want my game to display in black & white.
but objects that are moving reveal color in a circle around them.

I have 2 cameras
One displays color,
the other only displays black and white.

The main display is the B&W camera.
Im attempting to use circle sprites that are children of moving objects that have a sprite mask component to tell the Color camera where it should show color.
Aka only overlay the color camera over those circles.
I tried to use a render texure but it really just... didnt work.
Im not sure how to show masked sections in a UI element.
It ignores my masks completely.
What can i do?

You need to first add that OpenURL onto that canvas, or whatever you have in that buttons UnityEvent slot

Then, you should be able to select most public functions in the action beside it.

[plain dagger]

(or subscribe to onClick in code)

[keen swan]

my friend just pushed his changes to the version control thing and updated my workspace with it but now i cant see anything (its a 2d game, im supposed to see the background and stuff. I am centered on the background of the game so i should be seeing that) Also this was the first version that was pushed, before this i had absolutely nothing

[hushed hamlet]

Its really hard for me to contextualize what you are trying to do with it... I believe UI masking uses the transparency layer. I think normal textures can be set to black / white for transparency, but i haven't tried on a render texture

[jade orbit]

Using a render texture is the wrong approach i think
Maybe a shader that blends in color aroumd certain objects?

[spare meadow]

Tysm

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah id personally probably try snd create a post processing shader. But id do what you did, and try and do it with just raw cameras first

Im curious to see the final result now though 😄

[keen swan]

any1?

[wide thicket]

Have you tried using stencil buffers? render the mask to the stencil buffer, and then render the color through the stencil buffer.

(FWIW, I'm no expert -- I just know that it's the kind of thing that stencil buffers are good for 😉 )

[plain dagger]

Hmm so some mesh draws and that area then allows colour to show elsewhere?

If you render to a render texture that you never "clear" and use some unlit white material for example I can see this working.
You would need to then sample from this texture in a shader to decide if you can show colour or not.
You also need to make sure this is done in two separate passes or keep the two camera approach as you cannot read and write to a texture at the same time.

So it would be:

1. draw to "colour mask"
2. draw rest of scene which can sample from "colour mask"

Question, is animator transition trigger is intended to stay triggered until it get 'consumed' by the transition?

[URGENT HELP] Unity 3D / Blender - Invisible Inner Faces

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a frustrating issue that common solutions aren't fixing: I exported a corridor model (extruded prism) from Blender as an FBX into Unity.

When I place my camera inside the model, the walls are invisible (unwanted Backface Culling effect).

Has anyone experienced this specific bug and found a solution beyond checking normals and the camera's near clip plane?

What specific setting should I be looking for in:

1. The FBX Import Settings in Unity?
2. The URP/Standard Material to force double-sided rendering?

Any advanced insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

[sweet ruin]

hello all, having some trouble with my skybox in unity 6.2, anybody know why it might not be showing up?

[sweet ruin]

Have you checked the face normals in blender? the material renderer wont need to double sided rander if all the normals are correctly sorted

[vivid cedar]

backface culling isn't a bug

you would either need to use a material that renders backfaces

or you would need to model both sides of the geometry

[copper gust]

(Ie. Is it invisible faces or lack of faces)

[glossy topaz]

i think unity is secretly hiding keyframes old keyframes when u overwrite from blender

[sweet ruin]

so my skybox is not showing up in the editor window or in play mode. I have created a new URP asset and assigned it, I have deleted and created new a new camera, I checked that the editor window is set to show skybox. I set the skybox material to a custom skybox in the environment tab under lighting and it hasn't updated in either the camera or the editor window, the camera is showing the last solid color background. I have tried to add the skybox component to the same object as the camera and it had no effect. The console is not throwing any errors in play mode. I am unity 6.2.

hopefully this screenshow shows most things ive tried to do

I have tried to drag and drop the "Day1" skybox material asset onto the skybox in the editor window, and also manually assigned it in the environment tab of the lighting settings.

[glossy topaz]

does anyone know any possible reason for this gun's body bone to be moving at all when i definitely didnt animate it to

see when this animator is off the gun doesnt move away. which kind of problem causes this. I think unity secretly hides old keyframes if you overwrite animations

[orchid ferry]

Yo

[viral hill]

show the inspector of the skybox material

[viral hill]

best to ask #🏃┃animation

[sweet ruin]

I think i have narrowed down the issue but im not sure how to fix it still

[viral hill]

try assigning a skybox with the default skybox shader for urp. if that works, then you have a shader problem

[sweet ruin]

still nothing

I made a 6sided skybox with the builtin unity shader

nothing

still grey and yellow, test mat is pink

okay so my camera component says that its rendereing to the defult renderer which is renderer2D

That may be part of the issue

I have assigned a 3D renderer asset in the graphics tab of my project settings but that hasmt fixed it

[viral hill]

where does it say that

[sweet ruin]

"rendering"

[plain dagger]

If there is a version under "Universal Render Pipeline" use that sky box shader instead

[sweet ruin]

under camera component

[viral hill]

ok change it

[sweet ruin]

there is not, I double checked

[viral hill]

no there isnt?

[sweet ruin]

there is no 3D option, and the alterative 2D renderer doesnt give any hints

Im sure I could make a new renderer asset and assign it somewhere, but i cant seem to find where

[viral hill]

hm very weird. did you create this project yourself?

[sweet ruin]

yeah like, 2 hours ago

[viral hill]

rmb > create > rendering

[sweet ruin]

Yeah nothing in there

[plain dagger]

My bad, many built in shaders do not work when using a render pipeline

[sweet ruin]

not that I can see

[viral hill]

when you click on the referenced asset in your proj settings, where does it take you

[sweet ruin]

nowhere, it just brings up that dropdown menu

tried that first, it wouldve been nice

[viral hill]

which menu?

[sweet ruin]

the white dropdown to select a renderer

you can see in my most recent screenshot

[viral hill]

no i mean double clicking on the asset itself

[sweet ruin]

which asset

[sweet ruin]

Ohhh

[viral hill]

which version of URP is this? those assets shouldnt even be called that

[viral hill]

also send a screenshot of the inspector of the middle 2 assets

[sweet ruin]

it says at the top left, 6.2 i think

[viral hill]

that's the editor version, not the URP version

[sweet ruin]

oh in that case i wouldnt know how to check

[viral hill]

package manager > unity registry

[sweet ruin]

i did create new urp assets to try to fix this so thats why they might not have names you recognise

[plain dagger]

🤦‍♂️ ohh dear

[viral hill]

so how did you even create those in the first place?? i thought you said the menu wasnt there under create > rendering???

also you shouldve DEF started with this

[plain dagger]

What is the problem, a sky material not working?
Does a new scene with procedural sky work?

[sweet ruin]

I wrote it in my question at the start

I explained all of my current attempts to solve the issue

[sweet ruin]

Ill try this, good thinking

[viral hill]

my bad i missed that

[viral hill]

bruh you havent even tried this? it wouldve been nice to know that youre a beginner as well

[sweet ruin]

i could create another urp asset but the last one didnt fix it so thats what I meant

[viral hill]

that is completely different from what you said

[plain dagger]

also you can drag and drop a skybox material into the scene view to apply it to the scene so you can tell quickly if its going to work

[sweet ruin]

seems unneccesarily rude but thanks I guess

[viral hill]

they said they tried that already

[plain dagger]

🤷‍♂️ i didnt see that in the sea of messages

[sweet ruin]

Yes i did also try this, and i listed it as part of my attempts to solve the issue already

[plain dagger]

make a thread in #1390346776804069396

[viral hill]

im not saying that to be rude, im saying it because i assumed you knew this which you obv didnt

[sweet ruin]

no worries if you missed it

[viral hill]

wouldve saved us a ton of time

[plain dagger]

if you care about your own problem make a damn thread in the right place

[sweet ruin]

what is the right place

[plain dagger]

#1390346776804069396

[viral hill]

and for the love of God, do not say things different than what you specifically mean

[sweet ruin]

okay that makes sense, I didnt know this was a rendering problem

[sweet ruin]

Im not omniscient sorry, i didnt know if id just missed a checkbox somewhere

New scene did not end up fixing anything

[viral hill]

you dont need to be omniscient to know how to provide specific info. this is just common courtesy

[sweet ruin]

I gave a big preamble

[viral hill]

and then i asked follow up questions...

[sweet ruin]

this channel wasnt on my channel list, I guess its not there by default? thanks for the help

[plain dagger]

Hm not sure why, id:browse has them all though

[sweet ruin]

Yeah thats good to know for the future

Okay so for future reference, im pretty sure this happened because I started a blank 2D template and then tried to work in 2D. I cant be bothered to find the solution so im just going to star a new 3D project and drag everything over there

sorry for the lost time, I appreciate your help anyway

[dapper topaz]

Menu for my game

[pure igloo]

when i drag this onto my prefab folder, it ends up losing the spline

[plain dagger]

because its not also in the prefab

a prefab cannot reference anything in a scene

[pure igloo]

oh...

[plain dagger]

It would need to be either in the same prefab or a prefab itself

(or you correct the reference yourself with code)

[pure igloo]

it's working thx

btw, is there any reason as to why you would wanna use prefabs instead of gameobjects?

[copper gust]

prefabs are gameobjects

[pure igloo]

i saw a video regarding this which said, it makes things easier

[pure igloo]

i mean...yeah, but like it's a copy of those inside the folder right

[copper gust]

imagine an action figure toy, a prefab would be the one packaged at the store, ready to go

a gameobject (and/or instance of the prefab) in the scene is the toy sitting in some kids room

[pure igloo]

oh...so like prefabs are the skeleton and then you can create other gameobjects and change stuff inside it without effecting the prefab?

[copper gust]

you wanna build these prefabs so they are ready to kinda ship out into how they would actually be used

[copper gust]

not 1:1 but right line of thinking yeah

[pure igloo]

could you give me an example?

[copper gust]

so if you were making minecraft in unity there would probably be a prefab for each type of enemy

those prefabs are setup so whenever the game needs to spawn say, a zombie

it can just instansiate a zombie prefab and it's ready to go

[pure igloo]

wouldn't copy pasting on the heirarchy do the same thing though?

[copper gust]

yeah but thats you doing that manually

(im assuming you've played minecraft right)

[pure igloo]

no xD

[copper gust]

wild

imagine any game where enemies spawn automatically 😛

[pure igloo]

my mum never rly allowed me to play games which require payment...so....yeah....

[pure igloo]

aight

i think i kinda get what you are trying to say, a prefab can be used as a skeleton for diff types of gameobjects which more or less do the same spawning mechanism?

i would need a usecase to internalise this concept though, but thx for helping!

[full minnow]

hii does anybody know why my texture is reflecting this hard when i add the mask map? ;-; ( sorry im still new )

[slow dirge]

You'll need to provide a bit more details than that. As well as to explain what "reflecting this hard" means. From my perspective it doesn't seem all too bad.

Also, for future reference, there's #1390346776804069396 channel that is more suitable for such questions.

[full minnow]

oki :s

[full minnow]

welp idk its a rocky ground.. and its shining like crazy in the light ;-; when i add the Mask map without it looks okay even if i change smoothness or metallic it doesnt seem to change any amount of reflection

[viral hill]

looks like you are using terrain tools? show the channel remapping settings of the terrain layer

[full minnow]

i am using terrarin tools!!

[full minnow]

Where would i find that?

[viral hill]

i assume they mean the glossiness of the dirt

[full minnow]

yaa

[viral hill]

in the terrain layer settings

[slow dirge]

I thought it was a river(or some wet ground). Is it not?

[viral hill]

on the terrain component

[full minnow]

No its uhm

Rocks

[full minnow]

this? 🤔

[slow dirge]

OK, but this is not exactly what I'd call details.
We need settings, layers, materials.

[viral hill]

yes. looks like you havent even added a mask map

[full minnow]

i know

its not in rn

if i add it itll look weird again :/

[viral hill]

you need to readd it to fiddle with its settings

[slow dirge]

I think normal scale might be the culprit

Try resetting it to 1.

[full minnow]

it helped

but still a little bit too much

:/

;-;

[viral hill]

yeah because your smoothness is probably cranked too high

[full minnow]

Its not changing anything

if i put it on 0 or max :/

[viral hill]

what does your mask map look like?

and what settings are you changing?

[full minnow]

thats the mask map

[full minnow]

These ones?

[viral hill]

expand the dropdown

[inland river]

your smoothness is 100% everywhere, the mask needs an alpha channel

[full minnow]

Which dropdown?

[full minnow]

How would i do that?

[inland river]

ask whoever made the texture set

[viral hill]

"channel remapping"

[full minnow]

Its from polyhaven D;

[slow dirge]

Mask map seems to override the metallic, specular, smoothness setting in terrain:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/class-TerrainLayer.html

[inland river]

maybe change import settings to include alpha

[viral hill]

oh this is urp?

[full minnow]

Yes

[inland river]

in any case, that texture is not a proper mask map

[full minnow]

ow

[inland river]

it should be either red or green-ish

red/yellow-ish -> metal, green -> non-metal

[full minnow]

🤔 hm i had it working somehow yesterday tho

[inland river]

blue channel should typically be 0, alpha is smoothness

[full minnow]

like this one?

[latent lake]

does anyone know how to navigate the bloated unity starter assets? im just trying to find the 3d humanoid model and its animations

and i cant seem to find it

[near wigeon]

probably where it says Character, cropped photo isn' helpful

[spare meadow]

i dont understand what i'm missing

[near wigeon]

You have an empty Animation Event... or its probably not finding the script with that method name you put

[latent lake]

as far as i can see, there is no character

there is one in the preview however

[copper gust]

In guessing its in third person controller

And not environment

[vapid ore]

why is their menu opaque and looks so fancy but mine doesn't have it?

[copper gust]

thats dumb

what about prefabs folder

[chrome shadow]

I just had a 10/10 game idea but idk how to code 😭

[near wigeon]

idk just get it directly
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/starter-assets-thirdperson-updates-in-new-charactercontroller-pa-196526

that thing busted

[latent lake]

ok so i wasnt crazy

[latent lake]

cuz wasnt there either

[near wigeon]

unless they put it in Runtime but normally its not structured that way and its missing some folders

[copper gust]

it is in runtime

[near wigeon]

ahh boo

the seperate "older" ones were much neater

[copper gust]

Actually makes sense i suppose

sample is the test environment to showcase the actual package content

[near wigeon]

ThirdPersonController was put in Starter Assets though not in Sample yea? yet it contains scene & stuff like lightprobe data

[inland river]

yes, but that also appears to not have an alpha channel

[sleek forum]

sprite

[chrome shadow]

Should I learn to code to make it

[full minnow]

oki thanks maybe i just had the wrong jpg :3

[copper gust]

Samples contains the scene stuff, Runtime/ThirdPersonController contains the controller stuff

[sleek forum]

does anyone know any good ai to generate game sprites or anything like that

[near wigeon]

no one is stopping you..

[sleek forum]

no?

how do i draw my game sprites

i cant draw

[copper gust]

Everyone can draw

[sleek forum]

i cant

[near wigeon]

mouse , pencil

pick one

[copper gust]

everyone can

[latent lake]

okay jus tchecking, this is all i need, right? if i only want the model and its animations that is

[copper gust]

Probably, i’d take the materials too for good measure even if you swap them out later

[polar basalt]

i would suggest you just draw them, way better, even if it takes you hours or days

atleast you would learn

get some software to draw on:

for pc's : GIMP
for phones : IbisPaintX

both are free

or ig you can just make your own drawing software

[near wigeon]

pixel art Asprite is better

[latent lake]

i feel like making ai art and then spending time to correct its mistakes and polish it just takes equally as much time as just drawing it except you dont learn anything from doing it the ai way

[inland fox]

I can’t animate

So I spent hours fine tuning the physics for my active ragdoll…

Got the effects i wanted tho but have a violent memory leak… when i spawn a ton😔 👍

Might try pooling and other stuff

[broken seal]

does anyone know how to fix a unity issue

its hard to explain but apparently my unity gas been totally wrecked I guess because of an antivirus or a corrupted file

and I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it's like it's still in there no matter what I do to it

[inland river]

you can try to uninstall and remove all unity folders inside %AppData%

[slow dirge]

You'll need to actually explain what the issue is...

In what way is it "wrecked"

[broken seal]

well that's one of the problems, you see when I open the file location theres no appdata

I may either be doing it wrong or something, but lately I've been getting these errors

[viral hill]

appdata is hidden by default i believe

you have to use the top menu in file explorer to unhide it

[balmy kettle]

or navigate directly to it by entering in the path

[broken seal]

so these are the errors I'm getting when in opening a project or making a new one

and heres where I cant locate app data

and its hidden? I'm not sure how to unhide it

[viral hill]

navigate to the hub and go to the licenses tab. is there one activated there?

[broken seal]

to be fairly honest dude, this is the first incident that has happened to me

I know nothing, are you available to call around 10-11

its best if I show you directly

[viral hill]

no. if you need clarification, ask specific questions

[broken seal]

I'm being specific as I can be but I can try

whenever I open a project or create a new one this will pop up

but i just ignore it an go straight into unity

but time passed and when I try to open unity this pops up now

[viral hill]

you havent answered my previous question

[broken seal]

oh which one

[viral hill]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[broken seal]

oh I did answer

I said to be fair I know nothing about license

that's why I had the screenshot

[viral hill]

which is why i told you exactly where to go to find it

[broken seal]

oh I'm not home at the moment but I can remember when I get home to try

[viral hill]

then how have you been taking and sending these screenshots

[broken seal]

and I can check

oh this was sent previously when I was asking for help

but he knew some of the problems but apparently no matter what I did it kept coming back

[viral hill]

i see. we can always come back to this

[broken seal]

but now I'm hearing about clearing the appdata

but idk how to do that

[chrome shadow]

guys is 2D coding harder or easier than 3D coding

[near wigeon]

more or less its the same thing

[chrome shadow]

oh ok

I just wanna learn but I have 0 experience

it seems way to confusing

[near wigeon]

everything new / unfamiliar is confusing at first

as you gain experience you get less confused

[chrome shadow]

ok...

Because I have a very cool game idea but idk if its even possible

[potent geyser]

Nobody's dream game is possible at the start of learning how to make games

[chrome shadow]

Yeah...

I also have an issue with unity

I try to make a project just so I can get familart

it loads

but then is just gone

no error or anything its simply removed

[sleek forum]

how does this look

[chrome shadow]

Why does this happen anyone know?

[oak meadow]

for 2d if you have a gun should you have it face straight or tilted so the gun faces the middle of the character

[viral hill]

Go to that path then

[near wigeon]

what do you mean straight

2D has Up/Down (y) or Left/Right (x)

[oak meadow]

top down

like i could have it face straight towards the camera but it will be off so the player shoots a little left

[viral hill]

The player wouldn't even look like this in a top down scenario???

[oak meadow]

no

[viral hill]

Obviously

[near wigeon]

if you mean where the weapon would point , should be X straight

[oak meadow]

but then would the player shoot off center of the player like right of it

[near wigeon]

offcenter how ? are you not rotating the weapon with the mouse or whatever ? can you explain a bit more then.. that image doesn't convey what you're going for

[oak meadow]

like the weapon is draw in the sprite its not overlayed so for it to be straight it would be in the right arm facing straight so the bullet would go straight from the barrel which is left of the player and the bullet would shoot from where the arm is instead of the center or the body

[near wigeon]

not sure I understand , do you want to just rotate the shootpoint maybe to face the mousepos ?

[oak meadow]

No the 2 lines i drew From the gun in the right hand is one facing so that the bullet would go to the middle of the camera from the barrel then the straight line would be going straight but off center

[near wigeon]

are you able to show whats happening now?

[oak meadow]

eh don't worry about my problem its fine

[viral hill]

are your objects marked static

[naive estuary]

Yep

[meager bolt]

yeah that looks about right

[bitter dirge]

For a lot of my workflows I've always put all of a scene's art pass in its own prefab so my artists don't have to check out whole entire scenes when making art adjustments. I noticed today that the game gets a massive performance increase whenever I unpack the art assets into standard game objects instead of a prefab. Is this known behavior? It's the first time I've noticed it and I couldn't find anything about it on cursory google searches, but I assume I just wasn't looking in the right place.

I tried it on two different projects and both saw pretty big performance boosts (at least in editor, I haven't tested the difference on compiled builds yet)

[viral hill]

you're supposed to download the texture, not the material preview...

[viral hill]

what does "art pass" mean in this context?

[bitter dirge]

Everything that isn't the collisions

[meager bolt]

stunning texture if you ask me, whoever did this mustve been sombody like gordan ramsey

[bitter dirge]

If it isn't an interactable object and isn't collisions in the scene it's in that art prefab

[viral hill]

i see. it's best to profile your scenes for further info. i assume you're only looking at fps count, but other things such as batches are also helpful to take note of

[bitter dirge]

I just assumed that an object being a prefab vs. not in theory should have no impact on performance

[copper gust]

this if any, would only be an in-editor thing

in build they are unpacked

[bitter dirge]

Sure, but it would also explain the, at least what I thought was, massive discrepancy between editor and in game performance that I could never parse

Which made it hard to actually fix performance in games I've worked on

But also I have no idea why it's happening either

[copper gust]

Honestly not particular sure either aside from vaguely knowing stuff happens i guess

What kinda scale are we talking about here scene/prefab/etc. wise?

[proud lion]

hey yall im making my first ever vr game do yall have any tips!

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.

[solid yew]

anyone know a way to stop terrain from being selected when you click on smaller objects above the terrain? it's super annoying since it puts you into terrain edit mode automatically

I guess this applies to any large mesh behind smaller ones? idk

[static pulsar]

Make the terrain unpickable in the scene
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/ScenePickingControls.html

[solid yew]

dang, completely forgot that was a thing. thanks!

[sleek gazelle]

hullo, do u know why my player falls thru the platform despite there being box colliders on both objects?

im just starting out unity so i have no idea whats happening 😆

even when collision detection was continuous it still fell thru

[old sedge]

so i have a particle system in place but when i am playing the game i can not see that any fix for this I tried to bring it forward in layer but nothing works

[copper gust]

look at both your box colliders

a little closer

[sleek gazelle]

its these green boxes right?

[copper gust]

thats related yes but in the inspector screenshot you sent

🌈 one of these things is not like the other 🌈

[sleek gazelle]

oh

HAHAHHAHAHHA

THANK YOU BRO

sry

im like

really stupid

my bad

appreciate u bro

[copper gust]

everyone makes mistakes, that's not stupidity 😄

[sleek gazelle]

[old sedge]

can someone please tell me what is wrong here

[ivory moat]

I think #✨┃vfx-and-particles will be more likely able to help answer

[craggy pollen]

bring it forward on z axis instead

[old sedge]

did that the problem was with my script i had disabled it there got it fixed

[proud lion]

Hey can someone help me get started on unity?

[sleek gazelle]

yo does it matter that My Script (1st image) does not have the stuff like "using System.Collections;" in the tutorial video? the video is from 2021 so im wondering if new scripts just start differently now

my script is just a default unedited empty c# script

thank you 😄

[craggy pollen]

but you are also missing the MonoBehaviour this wont work

how are you creating your scripts?

[sleek gazelle]

like this

should i be selecting Monobehaviourscript instead?

[craggy pollen]

yep

[sleek gazelle]

gotcha, thanks a lot bro 😄

[craggy pollen]

you are welcome

[sleek gazelle]

is this how it shld look?

its still without stuff like using System.Collections;

[craggy pollen]

looks nice

[sleek gazelle]

ic

[craggy pollen]

thees will be added as soon as you use code that requires these namespaces

[storm patio]

you don't need those if you aren't using them, and they'll be autoimported if you use the suggestions if you do use them

[sleek gazelle]

i see

so i dont worry abt it for now ya?

what is system collections?

[craggy pollen]

i think you need to learn some c# basics

[sleek gazelle]

probably lol

ill go learn that

thank you 😄

[storm patio]

System is for built-in c# stuff
collections are for holding multiple values of the same type, like lists, sets, dictionaries, etc

System.Collections are the built-in collections

[sleek gazelle]

ahhh i see

[ruby cipher]

Click monobehaviorscript here it’s faster

[ivory moat]

Incredibly well drawn circle, managed to almost completely cover the thing you were referring to lol

[craggy pollen]

circles

[proud lion]

hey are yall good at unity?

[craggy pollen]

eh kind of

[proud lion]

i just started and im trying to make a vr game

[twilit breach]

I hate C# You can get one thing working then the moment you try to add another it gets messed up and throws up floods of red errors about null object mumbo jumbo

[craggy pollen]

#🥽┃virtual-reality if you any related questions @proud lion

[twilit breach]

At least 3D models are easy to work with in Unity ❤️

[proud lion]

thank you

[twilit breach]

I love the two-sided shaders, they're literal lifehacks

[ivory moat]

No, none of us have even used it before. We all just pretend.
(Yes, for almost any question there's bound to be someone who can answer, just make sure to ask in the right place)

[sleek gazelle]

ah ic, ill do that from now on

[craggy pollen]

C# is only doing what you are telling it to do, so it seems to be an issue on your side unfortunately

[sleek gazelle]

thanks

[proud lion]

alright

[sleek gazelle]

yo anyone knows what this means? im tryna do player movement

if this is impt

im guessing i didnt check some box or smth

[twilit breach]

Noooo it's doing what ChatGPT tells it to do At least it managed to do a plugin for player attributes, its 1 less mouth to feed

Sure it took me 12+ hours to get it working but after 19 interations we got there

[craggy pollen]

it means you are using code for the old input system

[sleek gazelle]

oh

fuck

[craggy pollen]

you can chnage it in the prefenrces tho, but i higly recommen using the new input system

[sleek gazelle]

how do i fix that

[sleek gazelle]

ic

[ivory moat]

It's possible to swap the input system in settings, but it would honestly be best to do a (very minor) amount of reading on the new system and start using that (since the legacy one will only become more outdated)

[craggy pollen]

i assume you are follwing some old tutorial there

[sleek gazelle]

where do i read about this?

[sleek gazelle]

yeah ahha its a 4 yr old tutorial

id love to learn more about the new system then learn to use that

[ivory moat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.15/index.html
There's a quick start guide too

[sleek gazelle]

thank you very much 😄

[ivory moat]

In general you can find docs on most unity systems by just googling "unity (name of system)"

[craggy pollen]

if you are a beginner and just want to do some prototyping and learn, change it to the old input and follow your tut

[sleek gazelle]

gotcha, ill keep this in mind from now on

[craggy pollen]

because the new input system can be overwhelming for beginners

[strange moon]

I like the new input system better than old one

[sleek gazelle]

since im just gonna be using standard inputs like WASD and mouse click, im guessing this means i can just switch to the old one right?

[ivory moat]

True, if you've already got a tutorial it might be best to use what they use simply because you'll be able to get an idea of the concept of making a move input system, even if the syntax will change

[sleek gazelle]

so the new input system means all the syntax in the c# script itself needs to be changed?

ic

ig ill switch back lol

to the old one

thanks for the advice yall

[storm patio]

no, syntax stays the same

[sleek gazelle]

oh

[storm patio]

the api is different

[sleek gazelle]

errr

[ivory moat]

The new input system changes the way inputs are handled and the way you write the code

[sleek gazelle]

is the way code is written called syntax

sry for all the simple questions lol this is the first time ive coded in like 6 years

[ivory moat]

You mean syntax in the sense of the standard syntax of C# stays the same, right? Because the actual code itself does change between the systems

[sleek gazelle]

and i was a beginner long ago still

[storm patio]

syntax is a specific part of "the way code is written"

[sleek gazelle]

ahhh i see

ok

[storm patio]

ah yeah, i can see how that'd be confusing to say to a beginner, mb

[ivory moat]

I believe the gist of the new input system is that you create specific input actions manually, then use your code to refer to them, instead of directly referring to the keys

So it can be harder to learn

[sleek gazelle]

gotcha

aight thank you for yall's time Chris and Frog

i rly appreciate it

i think i get it somewhat

ill swtich to the old one for now to just get familiar with C# while following these tutorials

[pure igloo]

i renamed the script from DamnDeseDucks to enemyAni and it started doing this weird thing. this is also thereason why the code is acting very weird right now and the game ain't working

[ivory moat]

Did you change the name inside the script as well? Are you 100% sure they line up?

[pure igloo]

oh sry, the class was named DamnDeseDucks

i will also need to change the prefab, hold on

[pliant crane]

guys im new to unity and i was wondering how do i create a new part or box in unity without haveing to right click in the hierarchy

[proud lion]

Hey guys im back how are yall!

[silent mica]

I tend to CTRL+D to duplicate. ProBuilder has a more streamlined way if you are planning to do this more than a dozen times.

[pliant crane]

so have multiple parts and shapes in the place and just duplicate when i need them?

[ivory moat]

If you don't already have one, you'll need to create them from the hierarchy

[proud lion]

Hey can I get a rating on my first boss my game?

[pliant crane]

ok good to know ty

[silent mica]

You could also drag and drop from Project tab if you have more complex objects.

[ivory moat]

It's possible to have a spare of each shape but it won't save you enough time to be worthwile

[main inlet]

is there any terrain assets that can make terrain like this https://github.com/Javier-Garzo/Marching-cubes-on-Unity-3D?tab=readme-ov-file i mainly need it to support set height

[hexed path]

Not sure if this is interesting: I've been a mac user since I became a developer. Been contemplating getting a Windows PC to run VRC, Horizon creator, and to be able to preview Unity games in a Quest3 without pushing an APK.

So... today Rider has been acting really funny. Locking up all over on me. On a mac, I'm calm, I restarted, and pulled a Rider update.

On Windows though, I think I would descend into paranoia, maybe I got hacked or something. Maybe I downloaded malware.

It's not rational with modern Windows (or not entirely rational), I know, but...

[plain dagger]

a program freezing is either the programs fault or shit hardware.

If you have a mac with arm and are emulating x86 then perf wont be the same

[hexed path]

hrm.. Rider is native for apple silicone. So is Unity I think? Could be wrong.

[sly lake]

Yep

[plain dagger]

Ohh i miss understood, i thought you meant it was locking up now in windows

[hexed path]

I should probably stop lying to myself and just admit I want a PC for VRC.

[sturdy totem]

Yo guys I'm new to this server

But I need help

I do not know how to publish this Mixed reality game to meta horizon store

[plain dagger]

VRChat is gold on protondb https://www.protondb.com/app/438100 if you wanted to go linux
But its just how it goes for gaming on desktop, windows first, linux via proton/wine/dxvk and mac very rarely

[plain dagger]

Checked their documentation on how to publish?

[sturdy totem]

Yes

It didn't work

So I got to YouTube and searched and still not

Working

[plain dagger]

yea youtube is not the place to check

tutorial brain rot

[sturdy totem]

I never searched that

[plain dagger]

https://developers.meta.com/horizon/resources/publish-submit

[sturdy totem]

Ahh

Ty

[plain dagger]

time to learn that you check documentation from the platform first

[formal cedar]

which tool should I use to create stylized low poly terrain in unity?

[plain dagger]

some 3d software (like blender) but you possibly can with unity terrain too
Though im not sure if you can disable smooth face rendering for that

[inland fox]

fuck interpolation, 120tick physics fixed update feels too good esp for spins and rotations.
Enabled 1the 20 tick because my active-ragdoll did mesh well with interpolation.

question is
can phones handle 120 physics tick update, that remains to be seen😪

[graceful hill]

To

Do y’all know how to make a game with a lot of people in unity?

[inland fox]

yes add bots and fake them

[keen swan]

my friend added me to his game and when i went to update my workspace to get his files it all worked. But when i did, the hierarchy showed that there was a scene with a background and everything, i dont see anything in scene and game view tho

[uncut ridge]

why unity updates the software everysecond😭

or

[keen swan]

(i never worked with tho)

[uncut ridge]

visual is easy bro but its your option

[keen swan]

they r both visual but ig u mean visual studio?

cuz like visual studio code is also visual

[formal lodge]

Guys, is there a lighter version of Unity?

[inland fox]

there's a web version, called studio

[formal lodge]

Is it good? Like on par with the installed version?

[inland fox]

don't think so

it just got announced it used to be called unity lite i remember

[formal lodge]

I just don't wanna go through the hassle of installing the whole thing hhhahahahah

[inland fox]

I think they have a simple shooter game example

didn't try it tho

[formal lodge]

Ooof

[storm patio]

doesn't look like you have a camera? unless that's on the player
try checking the texture to make sure it's there

[worthy yoke]

If we wanna talk about shaders, which channel do we use?

[potent geyser]

#1390346776804069396

And no, there's no "light" version of the editor. Unity Lite (which was just announced) is more for simple viewers, not for making complex games.

[worthy yoke]

I didn't even know that and Unity Lite exist. I just wanted to talk about water shaders. How to make a water shader in Unity 6.

[glossy topaz]

why can he chose a shader graph and i cant?

[lapis gate]

Need to turn on Experimenta VFX stuff in the preferences, otherwise just go download unity 6

[uncut ridge]

i turned this 💀 while waiting unity code response

[proper lion]

help pls with this

[radiant pewter]

any idea what this is? getting this when expanding a list of a custom type in the inspector

[lapis gate]

Oh, you do have the newer version. It's actually a new node specifically for it. I forget the name but look through all the quad nodes

Output Quad Custom/Material/Shadergraph

The Lit and Unlit are specifically for the VFX particle shader

[glossy topaz]

i dont even remember making this one lit or unlit

is it shis one?

mao where do i make a shader graph vfx asset i cannot find it in shader, shadergraph or visual effects

[uncut ridge]

skibidi toilet in unity before gta6😭

[storm patio]

@uncut ridge there isn't an off-topic channel here. if you'd like to show off what you've created, use #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344

hey, maybe it wasn't a scam

(just illegal)

[sturdy totem]

It doesn't work:(

I still can't publish the game to meta horizon store

Can you h e l p me

[spare meadow]

i've followed a tutorial for a fade in between scene but how can i make it stop to 1 scene and not continue after

[formal cedar]

hmm any tools can you tell me?

[plain dagger]

Just did

[formal cedar]

inbuilt terrain tool?

[plain dagger]

Yes, the terrain system in unity.
You can try making the terrain resolution low to make it more "blocky" but it will render smooth by default.
Otherwise try probuilder or poly brush

[storm patio]

configure your ide 👇

I actually don't like blocky low poly terrain.
a bit mid poly ig, but I'll try thanks

[plain dagger]

Blender or other 3d software will be the most powerful option but need extra effort to texture properly

[inland fox]

isn't better to use vertex colors and some nice shaders. rather texturing for most stuff at least

[formal cedar]

yea will try blender

[inland fox]

for low poly

[plain dagger]

Id recommend vertex colours for terrain anyway, either to colour or use in shader for texture selection (or use a splat map)

But as I said, more to learn for a beginner

[radiant pewter]

I'd love to be able to debug my project without needing to first sift through a flood of Unity 6 Editor spam

[balmy kettle]

it looks like you need to update your editor, you are experiencing errors that were already patched over a month ago

[radiant pewter]

I'm on 6000.0.58f2 - isn't that the LTS version?

[balmy kettle]

that is a LTS release. it is not the latest patch for that version, you are more than a month out of date

[radiant pewter]

roughly how long would it take to update and would I have to fix anything in my project?

just asking because I'm in the unity jam so I don't want it to take up too much time ideally

[balmy kettle]

it depends on your internet connection. and if you're only updating the patch then nothing will change, it just includes bug fixes. but as with every update, make sure you've got a backup (such as having version control set up and your changes pushed)

[radiant pewter]

I'm confused - so how do I update it? or is that just a separate install entirely?

[balmy kettle]

separate install, there are no in-place editor updates

[radiant pewter]

ah so current one is 6000.0.62f1?

[uncut ridge]

pp is good bro

its @radiant pewter

[radiant pewter]

I don't get it

[gray frigate]

You'll switch the project version after installing the newer editor.

[radiant pewter]

Yeah I think I've got it now

I'm guessing between patches nothing should affect my code right?

[balmy kettle]

right, it's generally pretty safe to update to a newer patch because there's typically no actual changes, just fixes

[radiant pewter]

I've got it on github just in case ofc

[gray frigate]

nominally, an update will only break your code if:

• you were using an obsolete part of the API that has been completely removed
• you were using an Experimental-namespace API (which can change at any time)

i bumped into that when upgrading to 6.2

some experimental graph-view class got some new abstract methods

[radiant pewter]

what is adb.exe? just got a pop up if I want to allow it to access my network or whatever after opening the project in the newer version

or maybe its unrelated idk

[plain dagger]

android debug bridge

[radiant pewter]

is that a unity thing?

[slender laurel]

Hi, I use HDRP lighting in my game, I set it correctly with Global Volume in my scene but when I build it doesnt apply (in test mode it does) how it works

[plain dagger]

used to install your built app to device and for android logcat to work

[plain dagger]

Its from the android sdk but used by unity

weird that it shows up as Unknown Author

Hey guys, wondering if anyone here can help with this Sprite Shape issue?
I'm seeing a weird issue where the top corners are extruding to the sides.

Here's my setup:
The corners are set to tanget mode linear with a height of 0.1. The extra point i've added to the top edge is set to tanget mode Continuous.

[neat finch]

hmm, I can try to take a look
