[worldly cave]

it was about level design and grayboxing

[copper gust]

probuilder is meant for level design greyboxing and modeling is how that is done

[worldly cave]

i could easily use blender given my thousand something hours of experience but i dont think its a recommendable workflow compared to doing it in unity

still talking about level design*

[worldly cave]

anyways i guess im sticking with it for now, but thanks for letting me know about the other thing

[modest meteor]

you can put a blend file inside unity and then its pretty much the same workflow tbh, dont even need to export anything

[south summit]

T.H.A.N.K YOU

thats for what? the difference of Praetor?

[mild radish]

same concept.. different code

his matched more of what the official Move() documentation example has

so i ☝️ up in agreeance

[broken hatch]

Is anyone else new? i want to learn unity with someone!

[junior path]

Hey, does anyone know what the cost of Unity Enterprise is per seat? I tried emailing the sales team, but they are using a horrible AI generated tool that doesn't know it's own price (LOL).

[hushed hamlet]

It varies per company, but gets a 5% price hike in January, some features being cut.

Hi ... Unity Pro and Enterprise will see a 5% price increase, starting January 12th.

[deft rock]

a google search says: Custom Pricing: The Enterprise plan requires a direct sales discussion for a customized quote.

[deft rock]

another one? (same google search said it had 25% price increase 2025)

[junior path]

That's what I tried to do.

[deft rock]

ah, ninja-edit

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah they started sending emails out about it a few hours ago

[deft rock]

https://unity.com/products/pricing-updates

[deft rock]

I was replying to the original msg where I swear you put 25%

[hushed hamlet]

I did! My bad

We admittedly canceled our last license this month, so I didn't read it that carefully.

[junior path]

anyways, this is what they send instead of something like $300 a month per seat or something helpful

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah i dont think its that easy. They base it on your revenue. Looks like they finally pulled pricing for industry as well, which was about 2.5x whatever pro is.

[junior path]

I just wanted a price estimate, that was it.

After didn't work, I got angry lol

[deft rock]

very professional 👍

😄

[hushed hamlet]

In 2022, it was 3k/yr/person (minimum) for enterprise. But they upped it to 4k last year. And probably gone up since. But thats the minimum, you need to negotiate with their sales person to find the final number.

[junior path]

Thank you!!!!

That's what I wanted to hear instead of "read the page again"

[deft rock]

"read the page (that doesn't have the info you want on there) again!"

[junior path]

frick

[hushed hamlet]

Ah OK, looks like this year they may have been quoting 4k/user (+3-5% of your total company revenue). And requesting it as yearly upfront not monthly

[junior path]

makes sense

[hushed hamlet]

There are some good junior dev groups you can join, and work with others, like /r/INAT. Having peers is always good !

[charred plover]

Hey, I'm down to make a game with you!

I'm pretty comfortable making the main menu right now but, I currently have ZERO coding experience and have ChatGPT/ Claude helping me with that and learning as I go. 😅😂

[broken hatch]

Bet dm me

[strange moon]

Damn thats a rare occasion that someone is willing to write code with you

[broken hatch]

ik

[near wigeon]

blind helping the blind

[hushed hamlet]

To be fair, it can be a great way to come up with ideas that are quite different.

[near wigeon]

ZERO coding experience and have ChatGPT/ Claude helping me
a recipe for disaster lol

[hushed hamlet]

You are absolutely right to doubt that, and the mistake is on me. I can create a presentation outlining 150 steps to make this happen, including sample code, sample designs and 50 extra pages of jargon and broken code functionality that should keep you busy for months. Would you like me to do that now?

[versed tulip]

should I use the mass place trees function on terrain to generate a forest? What's the best way without placing hundreds of different tree's individually?

[lapis gate]

there's some plugins free from the asset store. I used one called vegetation er something, but otherwise you can sample the splatmap and spawn them randomly like that

[near wigeon]

are you talking about a mesh or unitys terrain?

[lapis gate]

I wrote something before that raycasted a bunch of random places, figured out the normal and the splatmap weight, then randomly selected a tree to put

[versed tulip]

I'm talking about unity's terrain

[near wigeon]

Up to you.. I usually use the Mass Place trees function it has, then carve all the paths, rivers and all after but yeah if you want a more custom solution maybe check assets or write it yourself

[versed tulip]

I'm going for a low poly ps1 vibe, the mass place was working fine until I wanted to add bushes that were two interesecting planes

[lapis gate]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/vegetation-spawner-177192

I've used that. Check if it's up to date but it works pretty good from my experience

It's got more options than what mass tree population does that's for sure

[versed tulip]

That's the one I just downloaded, I'm pretty new to unity though so I don't know how to unity assets work

[near wigeon]

rtfm 😉

[versed tulip]

what does that mean?

[near wigeon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

[versed tulip]

oh lol

the manual was hiding

[faint river]

every version of unity keeps getting better

[plain dagger]

is shader variant stripping disabled?? what did you do

[faint river]

I ran the competitive multiplayer template because I wanted an easy bake base for a stupid fps

then I ran build

no changes

this is what unity does out of the box now and it's just getting demoralizing
I don't want to learn GDScript but like
the alternative is wait 10 minutes

every time I want to build

I'm running 6 LTS, installed today.
went to the templates and selected 'competitive multiplayer template'
clicked 'build'
I just canceled it after that time and tried messing with some settings to lower the bar

and we're back here

is there a button to just say 'only use basic shaders, I don't need variants?'

[plain dagger]

You miss understand what its doing

its compiling the variants used and needed so its working as intended

Im not sure what you expected from a pre made template project

[faint river]

a build time under 2 hours is unreasonable?

[plain dagger]

How many models and materials does this have? I cant locate it.
If you have a complex project that has lots of materials and therefore lots of shader variants it would be expected for builds to take a while. But better hardware will speed this up.

How is your pc?

[faint river]

It's 5 years old, an hp prebuilt that only recently has started to have issues running latest games (oblivion/mgs3 delta, anything poorly optimized in latest blender)

[worldly cave]

a 5 year old hp prebuilt 🤔

doesnt tell us much of anything

[plain dagger]

Is it this?

[faint river]

that it is

[plain dagger]

Ill check it out myself then 🤔

[worldly cave]

what cpu do you have?

[faint river]

geforce gtx 1660 ti
16gb ram
intel i7-9700 @ 3ghz

running off an m2 hdd with great read speeds

[worldly cave]

m2 hdd?

[faint river]

the little ram stick solid states, can't remember what they're caleld

m.2?

[plain dagger]

nvme ssd?

[worldly cave]

m2 ssds or nvmes

[faint river]

ah I think it is an nvme

[worldly cave]

well your cpu wouldnt really be the problem then

the only thing really lacking in your set up is some more ram but it wouldnt cause compile times that long

are you using shader variant stripping?

is it enabled?

[faint river]

I'm up to date with win 11, latest visual studio, latest unity hub and fresh unity install, and latest drivers on the graphics card.

checking, is the stripping in the player settings?

[worldly cave]

under graphics i think?

im not sure

i dont think theres one single checkbox for it you most likely have to do it manually for some of the different things

[plain dagger]

I highly doubt it was off by default

[faint river]

What is the best config here to get the fastest load time?

I can set lightmap modes to auto, or uncheck everything?

Oh, I missed the rest of the page

I set it to strip all and include none on the shaders, it cut down the first shader run to about 300 FPs, waiting to see if it produces something

[plain dagger]

tbh 2000 is not that many to me

[faint river]

I didn't realize, but that's per shader, so the firsst one might always be that 288 or whatever
I don't know how fast it's truly going at this point

[faint river]

did the template just build for you at a reasonable pace?

[plain dagger]

trying it now I had some other unrelated issues

[faint river]

gotcha

[plain dagger]

My progress soo far

[south summit]

Unity does accepts smd files? No

[plain dagger]

No sorry its not 2006

[faint river]

After I unchecked everything I'm 20 mins in and 'running burst compiler', so maybe I'm there

[south summit]

Lmao

[faint river]

it's still on cpp for game assembly but this feels like forward motion

It built!
and it's yelling at me for missing variants

[plain dagger]

haha who would have guessed

the solution to this is probably start with a fresh project without lots of assets already included

[faint river]

yeah, I just wish there was a simple multiplayer FPS base that could get out of its own way so I can build off of that- best I can see is the fps microgame and then have to layer networking on myself, which is always a massive headache

[plain dagger]

Then perhaps you need to go through the project and extract what you want to keep

[plain dagger]

my build is done!
Build completed with a result of 'Succeeded' in 1447 seconds (1447306 ms) [10/11/2025 23:13:42 -> 10/11/2025 23:37:49, 24m 07s]

Anyway I have a 16 core processor (7950X3D) which is probably why it took only 25 mins cold.
Complex projects will need 10-30 mins

[faint river]

gotcha. No clue why mine was spinning after 2 hours but I guess I'll work through what I need to keep.
Thank you for the aid.

there's a 'small scale' template next to it that I'll give a go, see if I get any traction out of that.

2 minute initial build, I'm sold

[plain dagger]

Most decent sized mobile projects I have worked with have built in 15-25 mins on decent machines
some super big ones on older hardware took like 45m to 1h

Anyway if you have mid or old hardware its unrealistic to expect fast builds after a certain point

[tawny quail]

And then you get a small webgl project taking 20 minutes by default

[supple heron]

Random question, what is the resident role? The gradient is so beautiful :D

[sweet atlas]

very normal if your pc is not very powerful

[woeful pivot]

i cant seem to find a beta or general unity help related channel in this discord so ill ask here, 6.3 has introduced crazy UI flickering / turning black and its basically unuseable , anyone got any idea ?

this seems to only happen when using Direct3d12 pipeline , works fine with d3d11 , this has been a thing since Unity 6 was first released in a beta

[viral hill]

this has been an issue since 6.2 beta. this is not unique to 6.3. there is no solution yet.

also, this is the general help channel

[south summit]

Guys question why when i apply my model as a prefab after that it gets like this?

eg

again with it lol

[north snow]

hey everyone. i got a problem with unity hub. can someone help please?

[silk belfry]

☹️ got this issue where my gameobjects are missing but they still direct me to them in my heirarchy (tried renaming n stuff)

it also doesnt let me edit the animations at all, i can play them, but i cant make new properties

[copper gust]

is this vrchat stuff

[silk belfry]

yeahh, im messing with an avi for my friend, its a little out of my normal stuff, usually i do mechs and guns

[copper gust]

you'll have to hit up the vrchat server

[desert kernel]

hey uh, I can't get unity to load on mobile web

plays fine on desktop web, but every iOS browser unity player dies during startup. Safari/chrome can’t create the context and the gzipped .unityweb files throw GL.contexts[...] errors; even after matching index.html to the compressed build and serving with proper headers.

this must be a common noob mistake right?

[slow dirge]

Mobile browsers are not supported on webgl builds. This is more of a device limitation than engine.

Sometimes they work, but there's no guarantee that they would.

[desert kernel]

like, at all? I thought that unity6 web was supposed to work on mobile as one of its main selling points

my game is a very simple text based choose your own adventure with a few static pictures

[vivid cedar]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-browsercompatibility.html

These days it says:

Unity’s Web platform supports the following mobile browsers:
Mobile Browser Mobile Platform
iOS Safari 15 and newer iOS
Chrome 58 and newer

[desert kernel]

I'm using gzip compression and testing on an iphone 17

yeah I'm thinking web browser should definitely work and its skill issue on my part

[slow dirge]

Oh, I guess there is progress then.

[desert kernel]

the top of the error is:

Failed to load game: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'GL.contexts[contextHandle].GLctx') deleteContext@[gameaddresshere]

[slow dirge]

Might want to post in #📱┃mobile with the full error details. From that error alone it sound like a graphics api issue. 🤔

[desert kernel]

will do good sir. I'm hoping that im such a noob and my game is so light and early in alpha, that this question/bug is a dime a dozen

[viral hill]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[fierce swift]

Has anyone used the virtual mouse module in multiplayer before?

[north snow]

i have E: drive and it always worked. i even deleted versions that i used for university projects

[frank vigil]

Does anyone have this now deprecated unity asset?, if so please dm me https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/fantasy-monster-megapack-35522

or know anyone or any games with some

[copper gust]

What's responsible for this blending of tris / vertex colours?

[twilit plume]

texture resolution

i go around that by making multiple materials instead and use raw color materials with no texture

[copper gust]

im not using a texture

[slow dirge]

Interpolators. Usually vertex output attributes are all interpolate. Color is one of them.

You can specify no interpolate (or something like that) keyword to make it use the closes vert color.

[copper gust]

🤔 i see, this is new to me. CurrentlyI have vertex colours manually applied to all verts and just want it super hard. I'll look into that ty

[slow dirge]

The issue is that normally pixels in the triangles are somewhere between the vertices, so the natural behavior is to interpolate between the data of the vertices.
Here the hlsl docs mention the no interpolation param:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3dhlsl/dx-graphics-hlsl-variable-syntax

[copper gust]

i guess that makes sense but also i just figured it would prefer to be told to just draw triangles of a given colour

[slow dirge]

Yeah, triangles aren't really a thing on the gpu though. It works on vertices.

Or at least not really in the developers control.

[copper gust]

right ok yeah im dumb

my actual problem is in my head im giving each triangle 1 colour but like how meshes should be the verts are being re-used

so it's not actually 1 per tri

and the blending is a result of that

(awful image)

the easiest solution that i shall go with is just not re-using verts and just eat the performance cost

[slow dirge]

Were living in a wonderful time, when we can just throw verts at the gpu and tell it "just do it"

[copper gust]

also my game looks like this so i'm not tooo stressed aha

[copper gust]

yippee

ideally i think i'd want some kinda flood filling technique to fill stuff like this but happy with results

Ok

[noble locust]

any idea why my fbx is white when i import it to unity? i added its textures too but it seems like its lacking materials and idk why

only one object in the fbx is textured (an icosphere i added inside of it that i painted) but thats it

[nocturne remnant]

how do I rotate an object without changing the axes to move them around?

[storm patio]

the axis that you rotate around doesn't get rotated, that's kinda what it means

what exactly is the issue you're encountering?

what's moving around, exactly?

[nocturne remnant]

when you use the move tool in unity you have 3 arrows to drag them through the X,Y and Z axes right?

but when I rotate the object with the transform scale those axes arrows move with the object but I want them to stay locked so I can move the object 2 dimentionally

[pearl oyster]

Change "Local" to "Global"

[nocturne remnant]

Thank you very much🙏

[fair cove]

Have you extracted the materials and textures from the import settings (in the last "Materials" tab) on that fbx in Unity? And have you applied any missing materials to it in the same tab?

[noble locust]

It wouldn’t let me extract textures

And I applied a material under the name of the object I found in the list but it did nothing

[fair cove]

If it wont let you extract them its possible you either already have done that before so the textures may still be in your project, or the textures werent packed during the export process to be included with the FBX at all

[noble locust]

How would they be packed with the fbx?

I imported another fbx to unity and it worked fine but this one’s troublesome

[fair cove]

AFAIK, it depends on the software, for example Blender and 3DS Max are going to have different export settings or might not word as "packing" specifically

[narrow steeple]

https://edunora-home.vercel.app

[narrow steeple]

this is my Small Startup anyone interested?

[noble locust]

I used blender to export

I just don’t know what the difference is

That causes it to do that

sorry its my fault i am not here to promote anything — just wanted to get some feedback or suggestions if you guys don’t mind

[storm patio]

....that's advertisement

we do mind, that's why we have rules

[fair cove]

After you select "Export > FBX", when your choosing where to save/name the file, there should be some settings on the right panel to look out for - its been a bit since I exported in Blender, so maybe you can look up something like "blender export fbx with textures tutorial", but I believe there should be a "Embed Textures" and a "Copy Path Mode" you need to set, if the model that is working correctly is in a different Blender file, you should be able to see the export settings you used as well, assuming you didnt change anything-since

[fair cove]

If your looking for feedback with an AI tool, I would go to a place that uses AI tools, instead of a help server for a game engine, and I would provide way more detail than just dropping a sketchy link in a random channel

[worthy trail]

Is it possible to mirror the Unity simulator (mobile) directly to your phone, to test live? Like is there an extension/package that can help with that?

There was a Unity remote / Play to device thing, but not sure, what its current state is

[alpine void]

hey dlich remember me

Nope. Sorry.

[safe garden]

hi there, not sure if this is the place for asking beginner q's but is there a way to export an fbx or obj from a mesh already in the unity scene? Or do you have to do it from the project library

[slow dirge]

There is unity remote app for Android and for iPhone I think. Though I'm not sure if it's still supported.

[worthy trail]

Ohh

[deft rock]

Import the FBX Exporter package in the package manager, and then you can export an FBX from the scene

[safe garden]

thanks!

hey guys, quick question - I want to quickly edit the addressable fields for a whole bunch of voice line (about 200 atm)

[candid lark]

thanks

[wind kraken]

rn I'm manually putting these values in, which isnb't sustainable

[candid lark]

can anyone hand some help with this

[wind kraken]

is there a way to quickly edit?

[wind kraken]

you'll need to use the new input system in your scripts, right now they're using the old system

https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[candid lark]

What the issue is not updating?

[subtle owl]

Try this one

Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings -> Active Input Handling set "Both"

Mb this one can help you

Or yes, old version of input system

[candid lark]

Just applied it, i'll see if it works thank you sm

It worked thanks :D

[plain dagger]

You can automate it, its possible to change addressable entries in editor.
use these:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@2.7/api/UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.AddressableAssetSettingsDefaultObject.Settings.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@2.7/api/UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.Settings.AddressableAssetSettings.FindAssetEntry.html#UnityEditor_AddressableAssets_Settings_AddressableAssetSettings_FindAssetEntry_System_String_

Though if your file names were not shit it would have made it easier too.

ask further questions in a code channel or #📦┃addressables

• Both: Use both systems.

[candid lark]

why this aint working

[copper gust]

what are the errors

[candid lark]

the pink trees

you go throught them too

is it the assets issue or my unity's

[copper gust]

what are the errors

[plain dagger]

They are most likelly using custom shaders which is why the conversion failed

so time to manually change the materials to use a URP shader

[candid lark]

and i thought unity was getting easier

will it fix if i change the trees themselves

[copper gust]

if they are built for urp or dont use custom shaders yeah

[ocean pumice]

if the assets are not covering different pipelines, its not Unitys job to do so. Most likely you will go through some manual work to fix it but learn a lot from that work

[candid lark]

yeah i jsut imported a few other ones but there's pink and working ones inside i'll see what i do

[naive perch]

Hey everyone! I’m Aaryash, pretty new to Unity and currently working on developing educational games for the Meta Quest 3s. I’m here to learn, explore, and hopefully get some guidance or insights from you all to help me with my research and project development. Would really appreciate any tips, resources, or experiences you can share!

[hushed hamlet]

No, right now its a bit of a mess tbh. 3 render pipelines, 2 input systems, 2/3 ui systems, 2 particle systems, etc. Its got to be a heck of a challenge for new devs.

If those meshes stay pink after the conversion, you may need to try again and them manually recreate its materials.

[ocean pumice]

Its all about reading what each system is meant for. Its not like you need to cover all systems to make a game. Pick one pipeline, pick one input system, which shoudl always be the new one. Shuriken and VFX Graph are quite well described in what they can do and where they are supported.

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah but a new dev often doesnt really know what they are doing, let alone if URP or BRP even exists, let alone what they are doing or their longevity. They just follow along tutorials and wonder why things dont match.

They dont sit there assessing which input pipeline is good for them.

Its just not as user friendly as it was in the 4.x days. Imho of course.

[ocean pumice]

And them not carefully research on any topic, not just unity specific, will make them better devs by blindly following tutorials? We all fell into pitholes, thats where we get knowledge from imo

[supple heron]

Yeah, honestly I don't see the mess and complexity there. 3 render pipelines - one obsolete, one for high end graphics, one for performance and weaker devices. 2 input systems - one shouldn't be used, once you get used to the new one you don't need old one, and there is no reason to be using old one (other than legacy). The only point I kindo f agree with are the UI systems - however it's not like you need to learn UI Toolkit, you can leave it on the side and effectively you can use only one.

Unless you need to work with old projects/legacy code - there are things you don't need to learn.

[candid lark]

I'm tryna make a poly looking game

with bosses n stuff

i'm kind of stuck on the texture of the trees right now because they're either pink or gray

will i be able to make breaking trees system if i use terrain paint trees

[hushed hamlet]

Well, the guys here think this is a learning opportunity for you and not difficult to understand at all. So ill leave it to them to help 🙂

[supple heron]

Wait! I didn't say it's not difficult :D

[copper gust]

which should always be the new one.
except ui toolkit for a lot of people
and not hdrp 😛

[candid lark]

did this guy just call me dumb or

[ocean pumice]

I meant the input system, but keep searching

[hushed hamlet]

No, I'm bugging the other guys a bit. Your good. Your learning and making stuff, its a journey

[supple heron]

When somebody is starting out, the things are complex! They need time to be understood and learnt - but what I mean is you don't need to learn everything. You can really limit the things you need - all the legacy stuff can be learnt later, when you actually need it

[candid lark]

i'm trying to get into the unity system right now i know how to use blender it's just i havent created a game yet just a few models

[ocean pumice]

your material being pink is because your shader is not supported by the pipeline you are currently using. So some questions for you to research. Are you sure, you are already using a pipeline? Because of your converted, I guess so, but double check. where are your materials coming from? If they are from a third party package, you gotta ask them to either create pipeline versions of it or you gotta do it yourself, depending on the complexity of that shader.

[copper gust]

though realistically i dont think any author who isn't releasing on URP probably isn't going to off a request

[supple heron]

Hmmm, how did you create the project and how did you setup the material in blender?

[candid lark]

I used the asset store for the trees im gonna model the bosses

[supple heron]

Did you try to use the option to upgrade the materials?

[candid lark]

i did just change the prefab of tree's shader to Lit, was this the thing you guys were talking about

[cobalt walrus]

How to make VR build for web?, I am using de panther package from GitHub, but after build AR VR buttons disabled.

[supple heron]

Sometimes it works, but not for all use cases. Did it fix your issue?

If not try this:

(you have to have the material selected)

[ocean pumice]

It depends. If your previous shader (thats what you are selecting there "Lit") did have some complex stuff in it, a lit shader wont provide that. But if it was just a custom shader that was doing nothing than showing a texture and some values, you are good with using the lit shader or whatever fits your needs from URP

[plain dagger]

They already tried, these models were not using Standard

[keen swan]

does any1 have a problem with stuff not loading in a 2d space with unity version control? I just added a background and the file is there and in the scene but i for some reason cant see it on the other persons device

[ocean pumice]

There are so many things included in your question. 2D, version control, other persons device? So you have changed a scene, uploaded the changes to git or whatever and the other person pulled those changes?

[ocean pumice]

From the screenshot, it looks like you did not commit it yet

[supple heron]

@candid lark , do you have link to the assets somewhere? Are those free assets?

[ocean pumice]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/lowpoly-environment-nature-free-medieval-fantasy-series-187052?srsltid=AfmBOortf1nfEQyoNwLNW-d-O-LKFe_SQiCmwZUknaEYZf0ISvnzJ394

[keen swan]

yep exactly, this is a screenshot on the other persons device. The background is clearly in the hierarchy, but for some reason not showing up in the scene editor

[supple heron]

and the project you have is URP or HDRP?

[keen swan]

also, after testing i just found out that if i add a material to the bg it works

[keen swan]

ngl i have no clue what that means sob

[ocean pumice]

oh because its a spriterenderer, not UI. Guess those need a material like other renderers

[keen swan]

ahh alr

ty

[supple heron]

Which template did you use:

[keen swan]

Universal 2S

2D

[supple heron]

oh sorry! My answers are not to your question :D

[keen swan]

ah no worries :D

[candid lark]

Yeah they are

Thanks to joer for the link

the popular one

[supple heron]

@candid lark , did you use URP or HDRP? :)

[ocean pumice]

Its URP 🙂

[candid lark]

Man not gonna lie i don't really know what are those, i tried the guys told me to but none of them worked including the one that fixes all of them

can't i just manually add my own textures

[supple heron]

Thanks! Let me then import the assets and see if I can figure out the settings for you

[candid lark]

this one

[supple heron]

you can :)

[candid lark]

Thank you so much :D

[ocean pumice]

can you show the inspector of the pink material and shader?

Because from their asset website, they support URP, which you are using

[supple heron]

That's exactly why I want to try to import them myself, because I feel they should work by default

[ocean pumice]

alrighty, ill wait for your information, because nix seems to be a bit overwhelmed

[lapis gate]

May have bundled the materials in different directories for each pipeline

[ocean pumice]

@candid lark I advice you to go through the learning stuff from unity, to understand, what is happening in Unity setupwise

[sly lake]

A lot of the time, URP / HDRP support comes as a package you need to install manually.

[ocean pumice]

Just to point out, they do not support HDRP. I am hoping they included it this time

[sly lake]

Point being, it supports two render pipelines. One of them's going to be a package.

[candid lark]

The documents

Oh

[ocean pumice]

ahh, good call. Built-in, totally forgot about that

[supple heron]

When you import the package there is a folder: Polytope Studio > Lowpoly_Environments > URP

[lapis gate]

yeah seems to be a package. I usually find store assets to just have different directories for each pipeline if it's just for materials

[supple heron]

Go to that folder, there is a file called: PT_Nature_Free_URP_17

Double click it and import everything

Then everything will be working

@candid lark , sorry I forgot to tag you

[candid lark]

YOO it worked

[candid lark]

tysm man, i appreciate it

[supple heron]

Yay! No problem at all! It's all my pleasure :)

[glass kraken]

hi, how to make certain gameobjects glow? like in horror games for the gameobjects that are interactable, for now I only know about 2 ways, post processing and emission in the Material, but I don't know if that's how I should do it

[copper gust]

emission and maybe a some bloom yeah

[glass kraken]

do you think emission only is good enough? I've always thought emission would be good enough for this, but I've tried to find some tutorials and they are all using post processing

[copper gust]

i don’t know what’s good enough for you

[hollow quiver]

So I have 2 capsule colliders on my object, and I want another object to reference the second capsule collider, I can drag my object with the 2 colliders to my inspector and it will fill it in
how do I know if its the first capsule component or the second?

[tall hearth]

Test it and see if it aint add some bloom through post processing its not hard to do

[hollow quiver]

nvm I can copy and paste lol

[glass kraken]

the bloom local?

[tall hearth]

Wdym?

[glass kraken]

I've never used local volumes yet

[glass kraken]

how could I add a volume effect to a GameObject only?

[copper gust]

noo

[glass kraken]

I don't want my whole scene to be glowing

[tall hearth]

You dont

[stuck flower]

In general you should avoid putting multiple colliders on a single object for exactly this reason. You should make a child object with the second collider on it instead so you can tell them apart.

[glass kraken]

then why should I use bloom?

[copper gust]

It doesn’t make things glow it makes glowie things glowier

[tall hearth]

It'd only glow for white / emissive (white if in light) things, also then use a shader

[glass kraken]

ohh aight my bad, didn't know that

[copper gust]

post processing is from the context of the camera, it’s not per object. Local volumes are kinda like where movies will use different effects and lenses for certain shots to get the desired effect

It’s a layer ontop

[tall hearth]

Is there an option to limit the bloom :?

[copper gust]

i do not recall

[tall hearth]

Yeah fair used it awhile ago and noticed 10 lights on the same spot ended up making the sun and was curious if there was a way to limit that

[glass kraken]

ohhh okay

what I want to do is make a night vision in my game, that would allow him to see important GameObjects in the game(the ones that glow), I've already made the night vision volume that gets enabled/disabled based on if the player presses the MouseButton(1), but I'd like to make some kinda function that makes some list of gameobjects glow when the player is in night vision, should I simply add the bloom effect to my current volume or add anither one?

[safe garden]

Hello, not sure if this is the place for beginner q's - when setting up colliders for a mesh, can you export the mesh together with the collider and have it automatically set up? Or do you have to export both the mesh and collider separately and assign the collider in engine?

[tall hearth]

Sorry could you expand, wdym export colliders?

You dont take colliders from a modeling software like blender into unity

You make them in unity from primitives or the mesh of the exported model

[modest meteor]

yes you do

[tall hearth]

No.

[modest meteor]

to achieve a simplified mesh collider, for example

[tall hearth]

Right but thats just a mesh not a preset component from a different software

Just like you cant export a subdivision modifier from blender to unity you can export a collider modifier from blender to unity

[modest meteor]

i dont think he was talking about exporting a component. he said exporting a collider, and i understood that as in the mesh he wishes to use as a collider

[safe garden]

that's right yes, probably could have been worded better

[tall hearth]

Right but saying exporting a collider and exporting a less detailed mesh for the collider are 2 separate things

[safe garden]

as in for example you have a statue model that's quite complex, you then create a cylinder that encompases it in said modeling software like Blender, then export both of these meshes to Unity - the cylinder that envelopes the statue would be used in engine as a collider

[tall hearth]

You can do that but unity has primitive meshes as well as on their mesh collider component a convex bool that does just that

Reduces the vertice count to the minimum while keeping a semi acurate collider

[safe garden]

ah ok I will take a look, ty!

[dusky forum]

It would be a 3d mesh object etc
You'll have to incorporate the physics collider etc yourself

[balmy palm]

Of course. more and more vs 2026 glitches show up

[tall hearth]

[south summit]

Guys question is there any math component or property on the game objects scripts that can do this?

[near wigeon]

Do what?

[south summit]

If any of his pos X Y Z If the object's transform position value exceeds one thousand at his position, for example, the object is destroyed. However, this is relative; for example, if its relative X, Y, and Z values are less than -1000, then it is also deleted. What would be used for that?

[shadow heron]

Try to stick with one question buddy.

[candid lark]

I actually want to add procedural generated map instead of this same map is it hard

[south summit]

This

[candid lark]

do i just uh copy Sebastian Lague's github codes

[south summit]

I clearly asked what I wanna do

The transform of the object cannot excess any parameter of the value

[shadow heron]

no you didn't try reading what you said before

[south summit]

In negative and positive values, it's relative

[tall hearth]

Depending on what you want as far as i know sebastian used marching cubes (might be wrong havent watched one of his wideos in ages) marching cubes arent really the most productive if you dont plan for deformable terrain

[candid lark]

Either way i don't really know how to import all of them just to create randomly generated terrains

[south summit]

For example if object position.x is more than 1000 or object position.x is less than -1000 or position.y is more than 1000 or pos... Etc etc do this

But if there's a simpler way

And I'm deffo looking at my preferences and it isn't there and I have googled

[dusky forum]

So you're asking quite a few questions here but you're masking it as though it's a single question...
Relative to the questions asked:

Is there any math component or property that can do ...
No. There isn't anything to automate multiple tasks. You'll need to break down the problem.
If any of the values (x, y, and z) from position exceeds a thousand
A simple if-statement comparing each value of the position property with a thousand.
Do this for negative a thousand as well
Yes, you'll need to check with negative one thousand as well.
What would that be used for?
I'm not certain what this last question is about.

Basically, cs bool below = x < -1000 || y < -1000 || z < -1000; bool above = x > 1000 || y > 1000 || z > 1000; if (below || above) Destroy(...);You could probably check the absolute value or whatnot but that would probably be more expensive than just checking six values.

Absolute value more expensive than 6 values? I dont think so

thats sadly the only way i found that works with unity 🥲

unity doesn't support wayland, unfortunately, so the only way to get the dpi scale working properly is with x11, and xwayland doesn't help with it either

does anyone know how I could get a generic rig with animations from unity <2022 (animated skinned mesh) to unity 6? (no root bone, bones do not show in hierarchy.)

[fair cove]

The process shouldnt be any different between those 2 versions, if you want to use a rig, youll need bones that match the animations your using, or youll need each part of your model to be a different mesh, but then without a bone rig you wont be able to benefit from IK animations, which is typical for rigs - if your bones are not showing up in the hierarchy, its possible you didnt export your FBX with a bone rig or separate your mesh

Youll either want to find asset packs on somewhere like the Asset Store, or as digi suggested, you can create them with a program like Blender - that image you showed doesnt look too difficult to create yourself though, a lot can be made from a cube with loop cuts and modifiers to create smooth corners and ingrooves like the "tiles"

so basically relative distance maximum?

get the position of the obj in world space

then compare it with that vector3 and see if the value is bigger than the limit, if so then do what you need (destroying(go))

[abstract beacon]

Hey guys! I'm an experienced programmer but this is m my first time making a game in unity (I've made other games with no game engine in other languages), I created a single scene for a 2D top-down RPG. I want to start building upon it and creating more scenes with scene transitions, however I am unsure of the proper way to use prefabs to universalize things. If I understand correctly, prefabs are Unity's version of object inheritance? Would I create a prefab for a "basic scene" with everything set up how it should be for all the scenes in the game, or would I create individual prefabs for camera, player, etct? Sorry this is kind of a broad question, I just want to do this properly so everything is universalized and I don't have to (for example) go back into every individual scene when I want something changed.

[vivid cedar]

prefabs have lots of uses and whether you need a prefab for any given object really depends on how you plan to use that particular object throughout your game and if you plan to make many copies of it in the editor, instantiate it at runtime, etc

Would I create a prefab for a "basic scene" with everything set up how it should be for all the scenes in the game

This could potentially be valuable if there's some shared stuff you need all your scenes to have that you want to just be able to edit in one place

[viral hill]

a good rule-of-thumb is to make a prefab out of anything that you have a lot of and/or plan on changing frequently. if you ever want to change how fast an enemy is (or any other variable), you can simply modify the speed value on the prefab rather than manually sifting through your entire project and changing the speed of your enemies one by one

Anyone know how I would do something like this in shader graph? I made it using just code but I feel like shaders are the way to go here. I have a very limited understanding of shader graph and I can't find any resources showing how to manipulate individual tiles of a tiled shader. Any ideas?

Anyone else hate the new input system? Or is that just me?

[feral flare]

Anyone know how to stop Unity complaining about this? I basically implemented and finalized a join screen on a child branch of main (main/join-screen), and now I want to get rid of join-screen after merging to keep the repo clean

It makes no sense to delete changeset 6, because that's the merge, and I'd lose the merge if I did that

[fair cove]

Why do you hate the "new" input system?

[feral flare]

Also ^^ it's marginally better once you get the hang of it

I also used to hate it for a while

Though I use Rewired for any non-XR projects still, it's just better, so if you like the old input system give Rewired ago, it's basically a friendlier version of the new input system

[shadow heron]

Just you, the new input system is goated 🐐. Easy to use and you can easily add controller support 🎮

[fair cove]

I feel like once you get familiar with events and your need for input changes from pilling in Update every frame to conditional cases (or multiplayer), the "new" input system becomes very useful

[fair cove]

Thats also a good point, very helpful for multiple input devices, and rebinding input becomes easier too

[vivid cedar]

Even if you don't care for any of the new workflows in the new input system you can still just use it exactly like the old system and get all the benefits of its better binding and controller compatibility capabilities

if (InputSystem.actions["Jump"].WasPressedThisFrame())```

You could even simplify it to just Keyboard.current if you only care about a specific key exactly like the old system, though imo using it in either of those ways feels a bit... Cumbersome (outside of maybe quick prototyping)

[vivid cedar]

Well yeah GetKey -> Keyboard.current

but if you want an "Axis" or "Button" from the old system then you're looking at InputSystem.actions

[fair cove]

Thats true, many ways to use it which is nice - even the "how do I ..." docs page is super helpful with a few common ways (including the ones we mentioned) listed with examples, it helped me while I was learning it

[plain dagger]

people hate new things

new system is miles better, the old system is trash and old and bad
I remember the old unity launcher thing to let you rebind keys 😐

[fair cove]

Good times... I remember having to look up controller binds for that 1 Axis list in Project Settings cause the Input class for some reason had the same keys for different controllers mapped to different axis and buttons, that was "fun"

[supple heron]

Yeah, I am not up to date with what you are discussing but I just want to say that once I understood how the new input system works, there was literally no reason for using the old one. Everything about the new input system is better

By the way, sorry for off top but what is the Resident role?

[plain dagger]

Its for some people who spend to much time helping people here 😆

[fair cove]

There was a time, when you built your game, at least for Windows, launching the exe would first launch a smaller bootup window with a custom splash art that let you set the keybinds before the actual game launched, as opposed to traditional "Settings" in-game

[supple heron]

oh I see! Thanks! I love the beautiful gradient haha

[supple heron]

It was long before I started with Unity I feel. I did Unity first time around hmmm... 2014? I may be wrong +- 1-2 years

[plain dagger]

I started with unity 4.5 when that pre launch popup still existed and unity free let you have 1 light with realtime shadows

[fair cove]

Yeah, I think it was Unity 5 era - oh yeah and "Dark theme" was a paid feature in those days

[supple heron]

Wait it wasn't 2014 it was 2016 and I found my first Unity project... Gosh, that's embarassing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSJb5qGXCiI 🤣

Good that is on my private youtube not on my actual youtube channel haha

i am it in bro

but what dus it do??

no

whaer is it

umm typo

[stuck flower]

You literally replied to a link to the post

Did you try clicking on it

[alpine void]

well u and a couple other people helped me with a school project, and i just wanted to inform you that my final mark for it was 40/40 👍

so thank you

[ocean blaze]

good job c:

very late to respond, but still.

[strange moon]

You guys doing unity in school???

[ocean blaze]

I did it for a class when I was in highschool

Kinda wish I had that structure again not gonna lie

[strange moon]

What you mean structure? In my case I have the same structure, I learn almost entire day on job doing fun programming stuff while also after work keep programming so Im 24/7 programming

[ocean blaze]

The schedule, whatever it may be called. Not doing it on my own terms

[strange moon]

Oh thats interesting

You can force yourself into your own schedule

Make sure you talk with someone about your schedule, so you keep up to it

[ocean blaze]

I don't know if I worded it right. Just having a set time to do some learning

But I'm still kickin. Even if Im hardly started

[scarlet yacht]

So unity has a asset store ? Does that include like code assets? Because it seems all art based

[copper gust]

it does include code assets

but most are art

mostly because the asset store is somewhat shit for code shipping and in general honestly

[pulsar dome]

hey

i need help with unity lighting

baking

[scarlet yacht]

Ah great 😅 im completely new, I just make pixel and low poly 3d art

So i was hoping to find a minor assest to help set up

My Unity screen appears blurry for no apparent reason, while videos showcasing the app are much clearer. Does anyone know what the problem is?

the text, the UI, or like, everythign?

Can I send you a picture

[storm patio]

send it here

[high osprey]

Wait a moment

[pale coyote]

I am trying to make a car game and everything is fine except the UI, it looks so low quality and unprofessional. How do I make it look better?

[high osprey]

This is how my screen looks like

And this is how normal screen looks

My screen is blurry

Sorry my camera is bad

[green valve]

On a scriptable object if I do this to generate a unique ID will that carry over into a final production build?

public MySO : ScriptableObject
{
  private string _id;
  private void OnValidate()
  {
    #if UNITY_EDITOR
    _id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
    UnityEditor.EditorUtility.SetDirty(this);
    #endif
  }
}
```?

I'm using this as the save file name, so its important that its unique and exists...

[copper gust]

no because thats not serialized

if you serialize it yeah

but also onvalidate ones more than once

you probably want to check if you've already made an id

[high osprey]

Can someone help me with this

[pearl oyster]

I don't see anything blurry in your screen, but the "normal screen" is very blurry so no idea what you're talking about

Take screenshots, not photos

[high osprey]

I don't want to sound like a caveman, but how do I take a screenshot on my laptop?

I never used laptop before

[storm patio]

https://screenshot.help

[green valve]

public MySO : ScriptableObject
{
  [SerialzieField] private string _id;
  private void OnValidate()
  {
    #if UNITY_EDITOR
    if (_id != "") return;
    _id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    UnityEditor.EditorUtility.SetDirty(this);
    #endif
  }
}

I take it this would work?

Added the SerializeField + the blank ID check

[copper gust]

it's better practice to use string.IsNullOrEmpty() eg. (if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_id)

i don't think you need to setdirty explicitly there either but you can confirm this via trying and seeing if it pops up in version control

[high osprey]

So can someone help me

This is my screen

And this is the normal screen

[green valve]

Thanks! I forgot about that method! I'll keep SetDirty for now as a safety measure I think.

[high osprey]

What is the reason for this?

[pearl oyster]

I still don't see anything blurry in your screen

[high osprey]

Compare the two pictures

[high osprey]

This is my

[high osprey]

This is a YouTube screen

[pearl oyster]

Yes, I'm comparing them. The Youtube screen is very blurry but yours is not

[high osprey]

The blurry one is my

Do you now how to fix it

[copper gust]

the entire blurry screen is blurry

[pearl oyster]

So this is your screen?

[high osprey]

This is the YouTube

[pearl oyster]

Are you trolling?

[high osprey]

No, I'm serious.

My own is blurry

[pearl oyster]

No it's not

[high osprey]

this

[copper gust]

its a little compressed but it doesn't look like the kinda artifacting you'd get in actual use

[pearl oyster]

So you're saying that this is blurry:

And this is fine and crisp:

[high osprey]

do you now how to fix it

[copper gust]

i mean it does look rough

[high osprey]

The video is like 360

Or 480

[pearl oyster]

But you said the video isn't blurry

[high osprey]

Wait, I'll show you what I mean.

Blurry

Not blurry

[pearl oyster]

You mean the skybox? That's how it looks like

It's exactly the same in the video

[high osprey]

Look at the difference

[pearl oyster]

It's exactly the same

[copper gust]

they are both bad

what resolution are you running?

[pearl oyster]

Yours is scaled 2x

[high osprey]

Bro you can see the line in the floor

My can't

[pearl oyster]

Bro they're in the scene view and you're in the game view

The game view doesn't show the grid

I'm now so I don't now that thinks

[copper gust]

absolutely my man

how to bake lights

So all this time "blurry" = grid not visible 🤦

Thanks, man. I've had this problem for two days.

[hushed heron]

Hey guys
I have a Blender model that faces +X forward and +Y as left

What should my export settings be so that it faces correctly in Unity?

It's rigged and animated so it's not as simple as rotating it in Object Mode

[summer rose]

How could they switch to the Input System (assuming from the old one) as a patch? Seems like it would be a massive change in the codebase.

[sly lake]

I switched halfway through a project. This was because when I started, the input system was still in beta and I had anticipated the change, routing all input through one class.

[copper gust]

they we're also using a asset called InControl which was a similar kinda implementation iirc

[sly lake]

Obviously my abstraction layer didn't work and it turned into like two weeks of work 😄

[summer rose]

that's why I was surprised with that change, I could totally see that becoming a headache later on

[sly lake]

It is, but still doable.

[summer rose]

I guess that's a testament of how robust their codebase is

[copper gust]

its not that crazy i dont think

not bad by any means but like

at some point you just gotta do the work and they probably went and did that

i say they but it really do be just one guy

wait no two for silksong my b

[summer rose]

It took them 7 years to develop the whole game btw. To switch to the Input System as a patch is still a bit peculiar

[sly lake]

Wouldn't say it is

[copper gust]

7 years isn't that long considering how big the project is

[sly lake]

It's not like they were adding input code for seven years. The game has a total of 18 inputs.

And I don't think it really does much with analog

[copper gust]

i still hate the control mappings of that game

[sly lake]

So most of them would've been quite easy

[heavy hearth]

hi all, im not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i'm trying to make the leap to C# unity after trying out UE blueprints and Godot's gdscript. i'm currently going through the basics of C# using the beginner learn.microsoft C# course.

according to the roadmap i found online, i'll soon be finishing console apps in C#, so i would like to ask if there are any good structured courses/books to use to learn the rest of the 'Basic Concepts' branch. I have a current resource https://csharpplayersguide.com/, but was wondering how others think of it as a learning resource, and if there are any other resources online that I can use to further expand on my C# skills before i dive into learning unity as a game engine.

many thanks in advance!

[sly lake]

Seems fine. Although Unity uses C# 9 so a few of the concepts in this book won't work.

Nothing fundamental though. Unity doesn't support records, for instance.

[safe garden]

hi all, is there a hotkey to unhide all meshes in scene? I know hide is 'H', same for unhide if the mesh is selected

[heavy hearth]

thnaks for the reply! is the book still recommended in that case? or should i learn from somewhere else?

or maybe find an edition where it uses C# 9?

[sly lake]

No, it's fine

[candid lark]

Yo what if i buy with Turkey VPN from epic store

would i get banned

I'm not from Turkey but bro why is it so cheap in that region

i know the economy but

[summer rose]

hi all, im not sure if this is the right

[small sentinel]

ghghg qigd akj

alright

[gray dirge]

Doesn't sound much unity related does it? You should read their terms of services perhaps.

[candid lark]

like normal slime rancher 2 as example is 1.50$ in turkey region but IN MY REGION IT'S 15$

[candid lark]

Yeah we're just having a convo is it bad

[sly lake]

This is a Unity support server

[candid lark]

I know

and there's no off topic

[candid lark]

nobody is asking any questions

[deft rock]

irrelevant

somebodys old question will get overflown by off topic convos

[candid lark]

If they need it that badly they just ask it again the question will stay there obviously, it's not like we're spamming or been talking off topic for the past 30 minutes

stop being over dramatic

[deft rock]

no one is being dramatic or over dramatic, you're just being told the rules of the server and arguing against them.

[candid lark]

Rules? We can't talk about anything else other than the Unity app here?

[storm patio]

yes

[deft rock]

correct

[candid lark]

Where's the rule

[storm patio]

Non-programming Unity topics & questions not covered by specific channels.

[deft rock]

This is a support server for developing with Unity.

[sly lake]

The differences are among the lines of:

C# 9

namespace MyNameSpace

[storm patio]

there are beginner c# resources in #💻┃code-beginner as well

[small sentinel]

gng ive already made the scripts

[storm patio]

in luau or c#?

[candid lark]

Isn't that for basic help requests

[small sentinel]

C#

[sly lake]

This level of personal tutoring is very intense work and would cost a lot of money. The best you can do for free is learn Unity yourself.

[candid lark]

Yeah

[copper gust]

How did you make them

[candid lark]

Youtube tutorials

[storm patio]

aight, then again see above for navigating the editor #💻┃unity-talk message

[candid lark]

Some guy told me he learnt the C++ easily from Youtube

[storm patio]

sure, but im referring to the pinned resources.

[storm patio]

(@small sentinel this was meant to reply to you btw)

[small sentinel]

it looks kinda like this, i have the scripts, i just dont know where to put them

[storm patio]

oh god is this genAI shit

[copper gust]

Where are they from

[candid lark]

AI scripting is wrong

Script it yourself

or Copy from youtube

[deft rock]

doing the tutorials on !learn will teach you how to use Unity

[brave ridge]

It was quite obviously gonna be AI or ripped code if they said they coded it all but never used unity lol

[storm patio]

yeah.., shouldve put the dots together

[small sentinel]

how is this any better than ai brodie

[storm patio]

it isn't

[candid lark]

100x better

[storm patio]

you wouldn't copy, you would learn

[sly lake]

The Youtube video at least worked once 😄

[copper gust]

It will probably work

[small sentinel]

i said i HAD the scripts i never said i wrote them

[storm patio]

not if you're just blindly copying. that's called tutorial hell

[candid lark]

you can just copy too better than ai

[copper gust]

Respectfully rn you don’t have scripts

[candid lark]

yeah

[small sentinel]

cuz i only learned luau and i dont have that much free time to learn c# already

[candid lark]

LuaU and C# is way different

LuaU is easy af

[small sentinel]

yeah thats what i was tryna say

[copper gust]

c# is easy too

[small sentinel]

i learned lua cuz its easy

but im using ai for c#

cuz its too complicated

[candid lark]

Should i learn C++ or C#

[copper gust]

I doubt you will be

[deft rock]

when it doesn't work, you won't be able to fix it

[sly lake]

Both.

[storm patio]

@small sentinel first off, go through unity essentials on unity learn, as linked previously. this is basically the required first step

secondly, there are beginner c# resources pinned in #💻┃code-beginner. you will have to learn, unless you want to pay someone to do it all for you. genAI code won't be reliable in any sense for actual projects. the best thing you can do is just learn yourself.

[candid lark]

Do you know both

[sly lake]

Yes

[brave ridge]

It'll be a very fun lesson for you when you paste in all the code, and suddenly realize the 100 errors you have arent fixable with your knowledge.
Theres no way around it, you either learn or dont make a finished project

[storm patio]

if you already know a programming language, the second one will be much easier to pick up

[candid lark]

deadass

where did you learn

[storm patio]

it's not that hard

the first language is always the hardest

[candid lark]

Do we just have to keep practicing

[small sentinel]

gng trust me ik how hard it is to learn C# ive seen my friends studying for over 2 years and still make shitty games with multiple bugs and issues

[storm patio]

sure, yeah

[copper gust]

Until you die

[storm patio]

you haven't learnt it yourself, i have no reason to trust you lmao

[copper gust]

a shitty game is quite abit more than what you've got with those ai scripts

[storm patio]

it won't be as hard as learning luau for the first time, i can tell you that much

[small sentinel]

what r you even talking about

[brave ridge]

You can spend months prompting AI and end up with absolutely nothing if thats what you prefer

[storm patio]

ai is negative quality, basically. you can throw any hope of making a good game out the window if you want to keep relying on it

[copper gust]

if you want to make your game your gonna have to learn. if you don't have time to learn you won't be making your game

[small sentinel]

luau is like 100 times easier than c# its not even an argument its a fact

[storm patio]

definitely not lmao

luau looks easier

it isn't actually easier

[candid lark]

no luau is actually easier man

[storm patio]

buddy please

i know both

[small sentinel]

yes it is, luau was literally made to be easier than all other languages

[candid lark]

void and lua scripts

lmao

[brave ridge]

Someone who just said 3 times they dont know c# telling us about c# difficulty

[storm patio]

good lord

[storm patio]

easier to pick up does not mean easier as a whole. that's the entire thing about looking easier

[candid lark]

@brave ridge it's because i saw sebastian lague's scripting that shit ain't close to luau

[storm patio]

you still had to learn the core logic of programming

[candid lark]

that was

different tho i think

[small sentinel]

yeah cuz ive seen other ppl try for years and still not be good at it, obviously i would use the FREE tools available

[storm patio]

the free bullshit generator

im not fucking helping this trainwreck of AI bs

[deft rock]

shock horror - it takes time to become profficient at something 😮

[summer rose]

Lua: 1993
C#: 2000
so how could that make sense?

[candid lark]

i think his favorite word may be bullshit, i don't know though

[copper gust]

(thats not really the point)

[brave ridge]

This probably belongs in #1352599815770341479 then if its gonna end up being another one of these meaningless discussions.
Anyways one simple fact is people here arent going to help with AI code

[storm patio]

that's what genAI is, believe it or not

that's literally how LLMs are designed

[safe garden]

is there a way to enable wireframe on objects with a hotkey?

[small sentinel]

why are you SO pressed that im using ai? im not wasting years of my life to be "decent" in a coding language

[sly lake]

By doing, mainly. I've written tens of thousands of lines of C++ and far more C#.

Maybe you can start off with a tutorial. Then you start writing code. Terrible code. You try to make it better. Rinse and repeat until your hair starts turning grey.

Now you write bad code but it's bad in different ways 🙂

[storm patio]

because it will make you waste more time. period

[candid lark]

Bro what about procedural generation how do you guys script that, that looks hard as fuck

Procedural Terrain Generation

[copper gust]

then your not making your game

[small sentinel]

it took like 7 minutes to make everything

[summer rose]

yes, his point was that the language **was made to be **easier than other languages (including c# because he said it's easier than c# before), but if it was made before then it doesn't make sense

[small sentinel]

and i was scrolling in that time

[copper gust]

but it isn't anything

[storm patio]

and it'll take you 7 months to fix it all - and it still won't be good

[small sentinel]

theres literally nothing to lose

[copper gust]

like no one is going to be able to actually meaningfully use those results

[candid lark]

why did everybody go silent after i told them how to script procedural generation

[copper gust]

except your time, which is the one thing of value you've indicated you don't want to spend?

[storm patio]

you could spend 2 weeks of that actually learning c#

[small sentinel]

thats still less time that its gonna take watching tutorials and making 100 failed projects to practice

[storm patio]

because that's a very vague question that can be answered with a google search

[storm patio]

that's a very pessimistic expectation. it really does not take that much time

[candid lark]

just answer it yourself, can you guys script that if C++ and C# is so easy

[storm patio]

you can make a working unity project (not a game, just a cohesive project) in like, a few hours?

[deft rock]

go and learn how to use Unity, so you can put those ai scripts into the project and make your game ... prove everyone wrong

[storm patio]

you want me to explain 5000 lines of code?

[slow dirge]

In one sentence.

[copper gust]

its the same answer for lua too, it's not language specific

[storm patio]

why would i do that when i could just link to someone who's done it before and recorded it for your convenience

[small sentinel]

bro the ONLY reason i use ai is to save time what r u talking about? even if i was a major in writing C sharp code it would still take me hours to TYPE the stuff out, also ai that was trained on billions of lines of code is far better than what i could do, even if i started learning since kindergardem

[candid lark]

see you're reading my questions with a fucking binoculars, the question is, can you script that?

[storm patio]

genAI is an illusion of "good things", you don't actually get any quality from it

[copper gust]

also ai that was trained on billions of lines of code is far better than what i could do
the whole point is that no, it can't

[merry gust]

Then don't ask here, ask AI

[copper gust]

sure, what kind of proc gen

[storm patio]

i can if i wanted to. i don't want to right now, and i haven't before.

plenty of people youtube have though

[small sentinel]

i dont want to waste tokens cuz then i would have to pay or wait some time for it to reset tokens

[candid lark]

yeah it's hard that's what i'm saying how do you learn to do that with only youtube tutorials

[sly lake]

There is no one way to do this, or a single satisfying answer to the question.

You learn the basics of the field. A good amount of math. Then you apply your knowledge to problems like this.

[copper gust]

by watching the YouTube tutorials

[small sentinel]

i wanna find bugs first and list it, i dont like sending short prompts

[storm patio]

with focus and time

[candid lark]

so more. more and more youtube tutorials

[storm patio]

how do you think the people making the tutorials learned

[copper gust]

what is your actual question here

[small sentinel]

paid for courses

[storm patio]

i told you where to find resources on using the editor

[storm patio]

nope lmao

[copper gust]

ehhh usually not as much

[deft rock]

youtube, documentation, research (finding blogs/ tuts/ etc via google), asking specific questions on Discord.

Are we gonna be able to script our ideas inside the games easily if we learn it, y'all saying we need really good mathematics inside it too. that's the thing

[brave ridge]

You arent going to find bugs by refusing to learn absolute basics. Id be amazed if you get past all the compile errors first before even finding logic issues

[storm patio]

either they learned from other people, or they figured it out themselves with a functioning brain

[summer rose]

@small sentinel are you using AI to generate code then you try to understand it (that's also bad but the least evil)?
I doubt it because you just asked it lazily to generate like 20 script files lol

[storm patio]

yes. you need to have a functioning brain to create nice things

[copper gust]

i'm terrible at math and i would like to say im pretty competent at using Unity

[brave ridge]

You dont need to be good at math. Unity has all the hard math figured out and has built in functions. For anything else like specific algorithms, they all have tons of resources out there on how to exactly code it

[storm patio]

i don't think "understand" is on the table at all considering how much they don't want to put in work lmao

[brave ridge]

You just need to know how to learn

[small sentinel]

well i had to write like 1500 word prompt explaining the whole game, moving mechanics, hollow knight and other 2d games refrences, photos and endings and backstories to all villians

[slow dirge]

You don't need really good mathematics. Procedural generation does not really require any specialized knowledge. You just need to learn the specific algorithms. A monkey can do that given enough time and effort.

[candid lark]

yeah alr im gonna test the scripts in the project
