and you couldve put those into a GDD and picked up some new skills instead

[small sentinel]

i still have to do more stuff, the ai just did the scripting part

[merry gust]

Why help a fool who won't understand no matter what you tell him? I think it's time to turn a blind eye.

[copper gust]

If you put other peoples work into genAI your an asshole btw

[storm patio]

nahh, that's putting it way too lightly

[copper gust]

don't feed peoples work into a slop machine just because you can't be fucked learning

[storm patio]

that's not at all what i said

[candid lark]

yeah no the last line ain't it man, watching 21 episodes of Sebastian Lague's Procedural generation scripts, it looked difficult it could be because i don't know C# tho

[copper gust]

this shit has no value 😭

[small sentinel]

nobody is doing ts btw

[small sentinel]

lmao you didnt even read it

[storm patio]

many assholes are, actually...

[candid lark]

I understood the black and white parts being the height of the mountain and water level

[storm patio]

@small sentinel you still have not gone through unity essentials, like ive said for like, 5 times now

[small sentinel]

yeah i explained the theme obviously i cant recreate it are you ok

[storm patio]

you aren't

[summer rose]

buddy writing prompts ain't shit. no matter how many words...

hollow knight and other 2d games refrences, photos and endings and backstories to all villians
eww. you're literally making the WHOLE game not just a POC? buddy you need to save that money you'll spend on tokens and get a good education on game dev in general. Because there's no way you're getting anything (decent) done this way

[small sentinel]

thats what i came here for

[copper gust]

this is not theme this is work

[storm patio]

yeah im blocking this. i don't want to help AI shit, especially when it's harmful

[storm patio]

then why didn't you go when i told you the first time

[small sentinel]

i asked for help in navigation through the app and yall atarted this class action lecture

[copper gust]

I think if you put work from other Unity games into LLM's without explicit consent you should be banned here tbh

[storm patio]

....are you blind

[slow dirge]

Yes. It's all very much learnable if you have the programming basics.

[small sentinel]

cuz you thought i was here to hire people

[copper gust]

who the fuck would help you for free 😭

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message this was the second or third time i mentioned it

[summer rose]

it's glorified plagiarism, plain and simple

[candid lark]

you can hire people with money i don't think anyone would script for free

[brave ridge]

I'm just more interested in seeing the future struggle. "Why are there 200 errors?" and then a picture of their monitor showing the unity console

[small sentinel]

literally anyone with 5 minutes to spare 🤦‍♂️

[storm patio]

nope

[small sentinel]

legit crying over nothing

[storm patio]

i would not want to help you with AI bs if i had all the time in the world

[copper gust]

not with that attitude and behaviour

[merry gust]

Don't feed the fool

[small sentinel]

pretty sure i asked for help respectfully yet ur the one losing ur shit cuz u cant adapt with ai

[copper gust]

you started crying because your too lazy to try and learn

[small sentinel]

like oh no it can replace what you studied your whole life for

[storm patio]

ugh it's this shit again

go to your echo chamber

[summer rose]

no pity from my side...

[copper gust]

if it can replace what i studied why can't you do anything with the results

[storm patio]

we don't want to hear it for the 100000th time

literally noone cares

[storm patio]

ok, where's your game then?

[sly lake]

It won't work. The code it gave you will not function and you will not be able to fix it because you need the knowledge to write it before you can fix it.

AI cannot hold the context to reliably program an entire game. It is too many tokens. A good model would've told you this. These fast-mode bullshitters on the other hand don't even do that but will give you code that doesn't do what you ask and will likely not even compile.

[storm patio]

respectfully, you don't know shit about what you're talking about

[small sentinel]

i got the scripts like 10 mins ago and i was arguing here the whole time so i couldnt do anything

[storm patio]

then go

[copper gust]

it's fascinating that people keep coming in here saying that like the 1000 word hollow knight fan fic won't be the first thing llm's will replace

[storm patio]

we don't want to discuss anyways

nobody's holding you captive

[small sentinel]

theres nothing to lose, if it doesnt work it doesnt work, took me maybe 5 mins to get the scripts anyway

[copper gust]

ok well hurry up and lose

[merry gust]

Even if I tell him, him won't understand anyway

[copper gust]

in this time you could have learnt the lesson already

[storm patio]

or gone through the entirety of unity essentials and then some

[small sentinel]

its been just 5 minutes chill out

[copper gust]

its been 30min

[small sentinel]

yeah thats still not that much time

[storm patio]

you couldve learnt c# basics in that time

[small sentinel]

i cant get nothing fully done in 30 minutes

[sly lake]

Eat more fibers

[candid lark]

My friend is saying unity is kicking him out, giving him a black screen and closing it with a Reporter i think something

Why

[storm patio]

that's a crash

[candid lark]

Yeah but what's the error

about

[storm patio]

would need to check logs for more info

idk, you didn't give us any info

you should have your friend come ask instead, so the proper info can be provided

so we don't have to play a game of telephone

I just realized genAI is the best solution for "idea guys". Instead of posting a thread asking for people to work for free they'll just spam AI with their ideas, and it will fail which will filter them out naturally

[slow dirge]

This is not very useful. It doesn't really reveal any info on the actual cause.

[candid lark]

what is he supposed to send

[slow dirge]

You need to read the crash report or logs.

[small sentinel]

when was the last time youve used ai? why are yall assuming it to be super buggy this isnt 2023 anymore

[slow dirge]

He is supposed to read logs. Not send them.

[small sentinel]

also i dont use chatgpt its horrible i alr know that

all of them are

it's by design of LLMs

@small sentinel here, a personal echo chamber https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1352599815770341479

YOU couldnt navigate the app when you first started why do u expect me to do so

[storm patio]

keep the shilling out of here, we've heard it a ton of times

[storm patio]

i could because i followed the instructions provided by unity essentials

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

From where, give more context bro he's saying the project is deleted too , could it be because of texture

[storm patio]

holy shit, would you look at that. learning

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[small sentinel]

750 hours 😂 im good

[candid lark]

Thanks

Editor Log right

[brave ridge]

Maybe ask AI what unity learn is for if you cant get past the first 3 words of the description lmao

[copper gust]

It’s not meant to be done in a single session or in full 😭

[storm patio]

it's.. just saying the amount of content available

you don't need 750 hours to learn unity basics

you need like... 1

eh no

more like 0.5

[small sentinel]

im pointing out that you need 750 hours or more to be good at it when companies paid millions for their ai to do that and now its free for me to use

[storm patio]

you don't

check your reading comprehension

[small sentinel]

literally no valid reason not to use a free super effective tool

[brave ridge]

Hes just not reading at this point.

[storm patio]

good lord

[brave ridge]

Anyways yea #1352599815770341479 for your shilling

[storm patio]

what a waste

[small sentinel]

thats like saying using a calculator makes you an asswhole, you have to write all the calculations down

[summer rose]

there's like a gazzilion

[storm patio]

wow, much strawman

that's fun

are you done?

are you gonna go learn unity now?

[sly lake]

The only way these bug reports (sometimes) work, is if you can make a minimal reproduction (usually in another project) and give exact steps on how to reproduce the problem.

It's a ton of effort to make these so usually not worth it.

[summer rose]

anything that sounds too good to be true is ~~probably ~~not worth your time

[sly lake]

its not too god to be true

its literally just normal logic

you feed a machine billions of lines of code to learn from

it will generate high quality code

[sly lake]

And then it poops out bullshit anyway. Funny how that works 🙂

[small sentinel]

not even that complicated

[slow dirge]

Editor logs. From the end up to normal logs. There should be a crash reason, callstack, and hopefully meaningful errors.

[small sentinel]

im convinced none of yall used ai other than chatgpt back in 2023

[summer rose]

holy shit you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about

[sly lake]

Actually I use it on a daily basis.

[candid lark]

@slow dirge

[small sentinel]

what ai do u use?

[storm patio]

<@&502884371011731486> the above AI conversation is.. dragging on quite a bit
it hasn't been productive since it started, and doesn't look like it's going to be

[summer rose]

"you" don't feed it shit, it just scraps the code (and art) from everywhere without permission

[sly lake]

I do not recommend using AI at all at your skill level.

It's not a replacement for knowing what you're doing.

[small sentinel]

thats not what i asked brodie

[sly lake]

Go ask ChatGPT then 🙂

[deft rock]

no, don't repeat the question. Read the bot msg directly under where I said !ask - your question is too generic/ vague and won't result in anything useful. State what your problem is with backing information and then someone can help you whether they've made a watergun before or not

[candid lark]

yo can anyone check if what's the issue of crash

[sly lake]

The crashlogs will be near the bottom of the file because it's the last thing the editor did

This is describing its startup process.

Please don't take a picture of that 😅

[summer rose]

is that the whole log? no errors there

maybe post the actual text if that's allowed

[candid lark]

there's way more down there

way way more

[summer rose]

yeah so just post the whole log as a text file

[slow dirge]

Did you even read what I said? And if you're gonna share something, at least make it a screenshot.

[candid lark]

yeah i did

i told him to resend it

bottom this time

[sly lake]

The very bottom is loaded libraries. We're really going to need the file.

[small sentinel]

how would chatgpt know what ai YOU use 🤦‍♂️ people just typing shit nowadays

[sly lake]

Well, I gave the answer I think you should have. ChatGPT will give you the answers you want to hear.

Which is less helpful but more satisfying.

[small sentinel]

you said that you use ai on a daily basis, i said which ai and you didnt answer me

[summer rose]

I think @small sentinel should be banned. I saw what you just posted... (right before it was auto deleted)

<@&502884371011731486>

[small sentinel]

what was it

it was just a gif 😂

[slow dirge]

Still not even a screenshot.

They should try changing graphics api to dx11

[small sentinel]

just lying for no reason 😭 this guy cant be an actual functioning human

[sage basin]

Drop this stupid conversation and move on, this is far from relevant to this channel any more

[summer rose]

I think Chat will tell him what he's doing is plain dumb

[shrewd island]

I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, but I can't find one that would fit better:

I have a question, me and my friend are trying to do unity together in one project, but we can't seem to get it to work, we're made the unity organization and we're done the version control stuff and we are both very confused, we have looked for tutorials on the subject and can't find anything to help us past this point, does anyone know how to do this?

[sly lake]

What doesn't work?

[small sentinel]

fr i literally asked for app navigation and they started teaming up on me like some type of anti ai protest group

[candid lark]

they dont use discord

[slow dirge]

You don't need discord to take screenshots

[sly lake]

And this crash was related to lightmapping?

[merry gust]

I use various AIs such as gemini, local llm, grok, etc. but I don't act like an idiot like you.
Just be quiet and go out self.

[sage basin]

It sounds like you've just been rambling instead of doing some basic learning, which is the correct place to start learning basic navigation of the app.

[small sentinel]

well they started talking about the ai stuff and i just kept replying, not even my fault im tryna defend myself 🤦‍♂️

[candid lark]

Can you stop making excuses for everything this is the photo of the issue g

[small sentinel]

i didnt come in here telling everyone to use ai

[candid lark]

Yeah how to do that gng we're not experts we're beginners just guide

How do we change the graphics from api to dx11

[storm patio]

(it's "graphics api" to dx11 from whatever it was before)

[candid lark]

what

[storm patio]

the setting is "graphics api"

idk where it is though, probably not too hard to look up

i googled "graphics api unity"
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/configure-graphicsAPIs.html

[slow dirge]

No. It's you making excuses.
If you really need help, you should make it convenient for people to help you.

[sly lake]

DirectX12 provides programmers with many opportunities to crash their applications 🙂

[candid lark]

it's not my issue, it's my friend's

I'm trying to help

[sly lake]

Just try the thing ^

[storm patio]

and a screenshot would help a lot

the better thing to do though, would be to have your friend communicate directly

instead of relaying everything through another step

[potent topaz]

so well Visual Studio 2026 is out - not tried it to see if Unity is ready for it! https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

[sly lake]

Unity is now five C# versions behind

[storm patio]

8 vs 13?

[sly lake]

Wasn't Unity on C# 9?

Yeah, it is. 9 vs 14

[storm patio]

hm, i vaguely recall the mono page saying only some parts of c# 9 were supported, maybe im misremembering

[shadow heron]

Do the Devs like not care about the bugs? Like I've encountered many and they are just fucking annoying. Like with probuilder if I just add a loop cut by right clicking nothing happens BUT when I press the shortcut to loop cut which is ctrl u it literally crashes unity.

[storm patio]

has it been reported?

[shadow heron]

Also for the input system the main script they misspelled something and the listen function doesn't work either sometimes.

[shadow heron]

I think so I remember ages ago I think it was either nav or box friend it was reported but hasn't been fixed

Devs are a Bunch of monkeys

[storm patio]

might want to check up on the bug report to see potential updates

[shadow heron]

How is it not fixed yet

[viral hill]

The whole editor has been broken for like 3 main versions now... I doubt they care much about probuilder

[storm patio]

(3 patch versions, right? ...right?)

[viral hill]

Blackout bug has been present ever since 2021 or 2022, it's just more common now

[sly lake]

I remember when Unity was stable

The year was 2014...

[viral hill]

Devs are people too, no need to speak this way. Problems like this in prod are usually the fault of team managers/leaders in the company, not the devs themselves

[sly lake]

It was after John Ricitiello became CEO that things started getting rushed. It was noticeable straight away with Unity 5.0 being released prematurely.

I don't think they ever got over the "move fast and break things" mentality.

[inland river]

the core incident was the decison to go public, which comes with a legal obligation to maximise shareholder value, the CEO can hardly do anything to avoid the consequences of that.

[summer rose]

yes I have to fix that every time, it's annoying

[inland river]

and "going public" only makes strategic sense if you believe that you can dominate the industry you operate in. Most of the unity strategy and reality we have experienced is derived from that mindset.

[shadow heron]

I know I probably shouldn’t say this, but come on — Unity is a multi-billion-dollar company. You’d think they’d have enough resources and staff to dedicate a team specifically to tracking down and fixing these bugs. Some of these issues have been around for ages and still haven’t been resolved.

[inland river]

unity is loosing money every year (-755 mil last year) and the engine operation is a net loss with no way to ever get profitable.

whatever resources they have is derived from investors underwriting promises

[ocean pumice]

Just take a second and think about what Unity actually is in terms of systems covered. Its not a small dev team job to keep track of that. Have they been overintegrating too many packages in a uncontrolled manner, yes. But its not like they are sitting around and watching the money come in. Devs are trying to constantly include features while fixing the most important bugs. In the end its a matter of priority.

[ocean pumice]

and industry/enterprise licenses as well as income from sold games/assets

[inland river]

doesn't change the fact that they are alive because of investors adding money, not because of actual income.

[ocean pumice]

so we just count that out, cool. Good conversation 😄

[inland river]

suppose the lesson is, if you care about product quality, don't buy stuff from a public company unless you are their primary source of income.

[candid lark]

my friend's unity is crashing either on start or middle of editing his project could it be because of the new version

he got the 6000.2.11f1

[frail goblet]

hey guys quick question, how do I make it so a rigid body is easily moved by an object it's connected to (using a joint) like it's nothing?

tried setting its mass to 0 but it isn't possible sadly

[candid lark]

Collision maybe so it doesnt go through

I'm kind of new too but

[frail goblet]

the object I'm talking about isn't supposed to be collidable though, didn't add a collider component for it

[candid lark]

@sly lake

are you on

[storm patio]

don't ping specific people for help please

have you actually checked logs as mentioned before

[candid lark]

who am i supposed to ping then

[storm patio]

no-one

[candid lark]

you said specific

so uh could you answer instead then

my friend's unity is crashing either on start or middle of editing his project could it be because of the new version

is it the same issue

have you done the things you were told to do before

yeah he tried the nvidia panel fix too

it worked for a few mins

it crashed again

probably same

issue

Please stop typing one or two word sentences!

[storm patio]

perhaps ask in #⚛️┃physics

[ocean pumice]

Think before typing and than please consolidate your question and insights in as few messages as you can

[shadow heron]

If you want a rigidbody easily moved by an object then you don't need to be using a joint to do this. Any object that has a rigidbody and a collider will collide with each other. If you want it to easily be moved then reduce the mass by a lot maybe around 0.5 or lower

[candid lark]

joer answer and i will

[storm patio]

not how support spaces work

it is your job to make it easy for us to help

[candid lark]

cant you understand that

[ocean pumice]

Wow, people these days. welcome to my list

[candid lark]

sentence

[frail goblet]

problem is, the object it's connected to will move weirdly

like it's moving with low gravity or something

[candid lark]

Explain your sentence like what do you mean by "make it easy for us to help" I don't know what's the issue so how am i supposed to ask it explaining it briefly if i did i wouldn't ask it in the first place

[shadow heron]

when you collide with an object does it slide around?

[storm patio]

perhaps describe the behavior you want

[viral hill]

all they're saying is to not hit enter after every few words. just fully type out what you mean and then send

[storm patio]

if the rb is just supposed to follow another rb rigidly, perhaps just make the second one kinematic?

[candid lark]

That was a different person, but alright i'm gonna type it all in one. What's the issue?

I sent the logs aswell

Is 6.2 Unity in alpha could that be the problem of crashes

[storm patio]

it's not in alpha, no

[deft rock]

6.2 is a full release.

[storm patio]

the f at the end of the version means a full release

we are not omniscient, where did you send the logs and have you done the steps (graphics api) as prescribed

[viral hill]

where?

[sly lake]

Well, no. But it's still buggy.

[candid lark]

want me to send the file inside crashes as it's described at the bottom, too?

This is the bottom of Editor Logs

[viral hill]

well actually read the logs first to see what it's saying

[sly lake]

That's still DX12. Did you try switching to DX11 like someone suggested?

[candid lark]

Carwash i'm gonna make you wash something else

with your mouth

[storm patio]

that's still not a screenshot, but sure buddy

so much for wanting help, huh

[candid lark]

It's a photo

[storm patio]

i asked this twice and you still haven't answered, btw

[storm patio]

yes, that's the issue im referring to. it's horrible to read in comparison

[ocean pumice]

one more time and we let some mods know. Stop that rude attitude

[candid lark]

How to switch it to dx11 it's my friend's issue, i can tell him too

[deft rock]

which shows the end, why not send logs as text on a paste site? So that they can be viewed in entirety?

A photo is fucking stupid.
A screenshot of logs is better but still, stupid.

[frail goblet]

I have a living ragdoll character, I have an invisible hand object connected to a lower arm (forearm) using a hinge joint 2D, what I want to happen is that the Forearm should be able to pull/push/move Hand effortlessly (like it's nothing) without making the Hand seem heavy

someone egotistical wouldnt try and help you

when i'm not a fucking unity expert
ok, then maybe listen when we tell you stuff to do

what "rude shit" are you seeing

it's all instructions to get info out of you

[candid lark]

Yeah, no one did they just kept told me to send logs, when i sent something they just kept contiuning to talk to their own convo

[storm patio]

youve sent an image of a screen of text

that is objectionable

you want help? give us the info appropriately

[viral hill]

bruh you've already been told what to do multiple times

[candid lark]

yeah it was @supple heron sorry for pinging, but he was actually so helpful towards me

[viral hill]

this is more than just "logs"

[candid lark]

Dude i don't know how to read LOGS, The guy told me to check if changing that dx thing works i told him to check right now other than that, nobody told me how

what was the command for that

[storm patio]

you've been told to change the graphics api to dx11 2 hours ago

[candid lark]

W + R commands thingy for logs

[charred fog]

what could be stopping me from saving changes made in my shader graph? after i press crtl + s, the asterisk is still there next to the file name and i notice that my changes dont take effect

no compiler errors btw

[deft rock]

If you press the lil save icon - does that save it?

[viral hill]

what save icon? save as?

or save asset?

[deft rock]

I thought there was a little floppy disc icon for saving .. I must be thinking of something else

[viral hill]

maybe on newer versions

when i press save asset or close the shadergraph tab and click save on the menu that pops up, i get this warning

Shader Graph at Assets/Shaders/SG_BlackHole.shadergraph has 1 warning(s), the first is: Validation: Node behavior was changed. See inspector for details

but my changes dont actually save

[shadow heron]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/shader-graph-properties-panel-missing/700312

that might help

someone said "so i had the same issue, solved via clicking Layout dropdown (top right corner) → Revert factory settings"

this isnt the same thing at all...

As always, did ya try reseting unity

Cache can be all fugged up

[viral hill]

makes no difference unfortunately

i think the issue is that i have a sneaky warning in the inspector of my shader grpah that i didnt see before

[lapis gate]

oh yeah that warning but usually can ignore it

[viral hill]

so this shouldnt be the cause?

[lapis gate]

I recall this was a problem with older versions, but haven't seen it with 6

[viral hill]

im on 2021 😅

Help, I made a model in blender, combined it, and painted it using Vertex Painting, exported it to FBX, and imported it into unity. In unity, I created a material for the model, placed the model on the scene, and assigned the material, but the color I added in blender for the material is not visible. How can I make the vertex color visible on my model?

[near wigeon]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[viral hill]

did you export the material from blender?

if you created a new material in unity, it wont pull any data from the model

[lapis gate]

Make sure the vertex color group was imported, make sure the material you're using supports vertex colors and is enabled

[stable sky]

and how to do it?

Has anyone done/got info on Runtime tests using NGO? I'm trying to figure out if its possible to do a runtime test with multiple clients & a server

[supple heron]

Hey, what's the problem? :) Sorry the conversation is long and I can't find the actual question

[storm patio]

(they were muted #💻┃unity-talk message)

[stable sky]

I seem to have exported the material from Blender, but I still can't see the colors in Unity

[supple heron]

Let's move to the #🔀┃art-asset-workflow , I will try to help there :)

[tall hearth]

Too much to explain in a discord message but basically you cant 1 to 1 export materials so what you do is you bake the material into an image then you bring that over into unity and make a basic lit or unlit material for the model then just apply the images that were baked to it

[balmy palm]

Heya. I'm new to inventory management and i was looking for a way to remove each item in my inventory although appearently, you're not allowed to remove items while looping through a dictionary?

foreach (var item in playerInventory.oreInventory)
{
       
    //calls the function
    playerInventory.RemoveItem(item.Key, item.Value);

}

//---------------------------------------------------------------

//Remove item from inventory
public void RemoveItem(string item, int amount)
{
   

    //Check if it contains the item
    if (oreInventory.ContainsKey(item))
    {
        //Decrease item
        oreInventory[item] -= amount;

        /*
        //If item quantity is 0 or below remove item from list
        if (oreInventory[item] <= 0)
        {
            oreInventory.Remove(item);
        }
        */
        /*
        print(item + "Amount: " + oreInventory[item]);
        */

    }


}

-InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.
-System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2+Enumerator[TKey,TValue].MoveNext () (at <59bd7c40c082431db25e1e728ab62789>:0)

[tall hearth]

You cant modify a list, dictionary while looping through each varible in it

[brave ridge]

Either iterate backwards through it using a regular for loop or store the elements to be removed, then remove it after the foreach

[tall hearth]

Ie dont use a foreach and instead use a normal for loop

[balmy palm]

ah. so starting from dictionary.Count with a for loop might be the easiest solution counting backwards

[tall hearth]

Well count minus one but yeah

[balmy palm]

It's very interesting. i suppose you gotta be more careful. xD

Oh right, Does this happen because the foreach data is still the same?

and never modified compared to the actual list/dictionary/array

which was?

[storm patio]

no, it's because iterators sometimes can't tolerate modifications and still be valid

just due to how some stuff is structured

so for consistency, modification isn't allowed in general

[balmy palm]

Alright

But i'm guessing you have alot more control on a regular for loop

when handling problems like these

[plain dagger]

for loops are a core language feature for many programming languages and they basically all work the same, execute some block X amount of times

foreach is special and uses the IEnumerable interface to enumerate over an objects elements/children/whatever

[balmy palm]

The error did say something about a enumeration operation. Is that related?

[sly lake]

There's a trick to this, iterate through the collection backwards to ensure safe removal.

[plain dagger]

yes its very related

[balmy palm]

Not to worry, i wrote a comment about that in my script for my next session. although i will definitely try to loop it normally and see what happens

[sly lake]

What happens is that you skip over elements when one is deleted

Because your iterator still increments even though the collection got smaller

[plain dagger]

For loops are cool:

[sly lake]

If you do:

for(int i = myList.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)

You can safely remove elements

[plain dagger]

for(int i = 0; i <= 6; i+= 3)
{
  array[i] = array[i + 1] + array[i + 2];
}

look cool bullshit you can do with a for loop

[balmy palm]

Is that so? i'll check out the output of that to understand it even better, but this makes it alot more clear

thank you

[sly lake]

When you delete element [3], now another object takes place [3]. But your loop already tackled that number so it will skip the object that just moved into its place

[balmy palm]

Yeah, I definitely havn't learned core keywords as much as i'd like to admit it seems. This really helps, tho. Giving context about how to handle loops specifically for changing array's

[plain dagger]

If you look at C and C++ for loops, they work almost the same

[brave ridge]

Since it is a dictionary, and you're just removing the elements in oreInventory, you could also just loop over the oreInventory.Keys and actually remove them all from the dictionary without any issues

[balmy palm]

Wouldn't all the standard keywords be? although does it also have foreach alongside for?

[plain dagger]

c and cpp do not have foreach but cpp has its own "itterator" feature that can be used with a differently formatted for()

the point is a for loop is a fundamental mechanism to many languages

[balmy palm]

Definitely is. Unless if you want to make a game that literally has 1 of each element

and no more then that.

which is silly

well even so you definitely wanna use it whenever you can, if it makes your code more readable

[plain dagger]

Example of a for loop in cpp

int main()
{
    const char* myString = "Hello World!";
    for(size_t i = 0; i < std::strlen(myString); i++)
    {
        std::println("{}", myString[i]);
    }
}

the interesting thing about [] in c/cpp is that it compiles to "pointer myString + i"

[winter storm]

Hey guys! Is the Visual Studio 2026 version currently recommended for use with Unity?

[deft rock]

the recommended version can be installed with the editor via the hub

If you want to use VS2026, just download it and try it out.. you can always switch back if there are issues

[winter storm]

Oh thanks, I'm just worried that some of my code will break if I switch to vs2026

[deft rock]

no, that's not how IDE's work

[plain dagger]

Yea unity handles code compilation so the IDE you use doesn't matter

[winter storm]

👍

[sly lake]

You can do the same in C#

unsafe static void Main()
{
    string myString = "Hello World!";
    fixed (char* s = myString)
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < myString.Length; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(s[i]);
        }
    }
}

[balmy palm]

Wait. I just realized. Do you have experience with c++?

[plain dagger]

haha yes

[balmy palm]

And you also work on c#

Ayy that's pretty dope

[plain dagger]

hmm unsafe

[plain dagger]

when you do this stuff long enough you learn many languages

[storm patio]

(it's not particularly hard - the first language is the hardest to learn)

[sly lake]

Most devs learn far more than two. Hard to get around that, honestly.

[plain dagger]

c and cpp are certainly harder than c# or other managed languages

[sly lake]

A nicety of C# here is that it indexes the pointer array properly by the size of its type

[balmy palm]

memory management right? seems hard for someone that hasn't coded to for long tho.

[storm patio]

i mean there's not a lot of it

c++ stl stuff basically does it for you

[sly lake]

Memory management isn't the annoying part of C++

[balmy palm]

This is just a personal opinion but i actually made a reddit post about this very topic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/unity/comments/1oueifb/is_visual_studio_2026_pretty_buggy_on_unity_for/

[plain dagger]

Knowing properly how to handle some situations in cpp can be quite tricky

Especially with older code bases with older std versions

[sly lake]

It's the debugger not working as well as C#'s. The sheer amount of pitfalls. Obtuse error messages. The language wanting things in a specific order or specific way...

[dense flicker]

Discord's broken, can't check the channel & roles menu. If there's a more appropriate channel I therefore can't get to it.
My mouse input works in editor but standalone builds are not reacting to any mouse input, neither UI nor my own scripts

using the new input system

[hushed hamlet]

Id start with the log, something else could be breaking as well and the UI is just a symptom

[balmy palm]

i see. That's pretty cool actually. i might tryout unreal engine one day. one day

[hushed hamlet]

Do it, i love UE. Its a unique experience but worth it.

[dense flicker]

well yeah i have stuff tied to scrolling, a cam zoom and it isn't working either. i'll try logs

[plain dagger]

tis a lie. unreal has its own way of doing many things and even with the standard lib things arent always easy

[sly lake]

Unreal C++ has the fun caveat that your pointers may get garbage collected without your knowledge 🙂

[fleet slate]

Here someone could teach a friend of me?

[plain dagger]

no

[fleet slate]

Ok

[balmy palm]

I'm confused. I guess it's easy when you've learned it so it's technically not easy? he's downplaying how good he is on c++ lol, i take it?

[dense flicker]

where would I find it? my debug build does have that log menu but there's nothing in there

[plain dagger]

Doing general beginner programming things isn't that hard to learn but when you start getting complex or need to use and interact with libraries (c or cpp) then new problems arrise

[sly lake]

Including external code is way easier in C# yeah

[plain dagger]

e.g. std::string is not the same in debug and release (in msvc atleast) so thats fun when you work with a cpp lib 😐

[balmy palm]

And when there are too many problems combined with the fact that you're trying to learn, it just doesn't workout

you can't do multiple things at the same time.

[plain dagger]

I think for c and cpp there are many new things you do need to learn to be able tackle complex problems

and without that you will read the error and be stumped 😐

so its inaccurate to state that its the same as c# (learning difficulty wise)

[woeful spear]

I created a simple unlit material with emission. It seems to work in Scene view but Emission doesn't work in Game view. It just appears like a solid cube in game view:

[winter storm]

oh

[supple heron]

Does your camera have post processing enabled?

[sly lake]

Emission works fine. It's just the glow that's missing.

[woeful spear]

Yeah, so is there something off?

[supple heron]

You need to check "post processing" for camera. The emission is there, the effect you see is the 'bloom' post processing effect

[hushed hamlet]

No worries, its usually in like
%appdata%\local\company\game iirc.

[woeful spear]

Works. Thanks

[supple heron]

No problem at all! :)

Honeslty if you have no clue I would avoid ui toolkit. It is great but much less intuitive than uGUI, also there are many more tutorials available if you decide to go with uGUI

[tight vale]

i have a genuine question

[lapis gate]

UIToolkit domination when

[balmy kettle]

Eventually™

[lapis gate]

does world space UIs now too btw

[tight vale]

why is the tag unty and not something like unit

[balmy kettle]

we are getting closer with the newer shader support too

[tight vale]

i feel like it looks better

[balmy kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1387880385437761596

[tight vale]

i see

[supple heron]

Honestly I feel it is still not there? I mean it is great and in theory it kind of works for most use cases. Reusable elements and styles are really great, but... When you can do everything with uGUI and are comfortable with it, there is really no reason to learn and invest time into it, especially knowing you'll eventually run into limitations

Though to be honest, I havent tried UI toolkit for a year now, so maybe it improved enough to be worth it

[balmy kettle]

there is really no reason to learn and invest time into it
except the related skills are transferrable to other technologies because it's basically the same as regular web dev ui unlike ugui which is entirely gameobject based so there really isn't any "skills" to transfer

[lapis gate]

It's way more intuitive that's for sure. The only problem I have with it is the boilerplate you need to write to link it all to your scripts

includes actual flex containers that work

why is unity not async?

[brave ridge]

there is the awaitable api, and people have been using async for a long time already. it's just not needed in many cases

you dont just throw async at something just because

[burnt coral]

cs
private IEnumerator FlashWarning()
{
    //enable the visual gameobject
    MeshRenderer  mr = _gameOverLimit.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
    mr.enabled = true;

    Color initialColor = new Color(255f, 0f, 0f, 0f);
    Color targetColor = new Color(255f, 0f, 0f, 128f);

    //do the flashing here
    float elapsedTime = 0f;

    while (elapsedTime < _warningArea_FlashDuration)
    {
        elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        float t = elapsedTime / _warningArea_FlashDuration;
        mr.material.color = Color.Lerp(initialColor, targetColor, t);

        yield return null;
    }
}

Can someone tell me whats up with this material

[lapis gate]

first, you tell us

[burnt coral]

thats what im tryna know

im just lerping the material from red with 0 alpha to red with 128 alpha and this is what im getting

the logic is ok cuz ive tested it with lerping between red and white and the material is just fine

[brave ridge]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Color.html

Each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1.

these kind of questions belong in the coding channels #💻┃code-beginner

[burnt coral]

oh ok mb

but thanks for the help tho im p sure that will solve this

[dense reef]

what is value of _warningArea_FlashDuration?

@burnt coral your lerping code looks okay what is wrong with its execution?

@burnt coral nvm there is a problem you should use new Color(255f/255f,0,0,128f/255f)

the color value is form 0 to 1 instead of from 0 to 255

[storm patio]

why wouldn't you just... use 1 or 0.5f

[dense reef]

because 128f/255f allow you to type concrate hex color

[brave ridge]

#💻┃unity-talk message
its already been answered, pretty worth it to read the messages between as to not spam the person with the same things already

[storm patio]

that usually doesn't matter, no

[brave ridge]

usually itd be best to just serialize the color and assign it in inspector anyways.

[dense reef]

in internet you can find color you need in hex format get exact same color you can just use divide

[storm patio]

or you could paste it directly into a serialized color field

or if you want to specifically hardcode it for some reason, you can use the parsing utilities

[dense reef]

it personal preference

[storm patio]

i don't see any reason to use the decimal form at all tbh

[dense reef]

sorry I really missed the answer already been posted

[rancid ice]

hey guys i have a problem for nubs... when im creating the script for the model the box is grey (meaning unity can't read him?) do u know how to fix that???

[stuck flower]

What box? Maybe show a screenshot of what you're talking about

[rancid ice]

yes.. wait a second

if u look bottom right u will see the box for the script is grey

is an error right?

[stuck flower]

which box?

[viral hill]

No that's normal

[rancid ice]

ah

[viral hill]

I think he means script reference

[rancid ice]

yes

but i cant touch him and i cant overwrite with another script if i would

[viral hill]

It's grey because you can't change it (for obvious reasons)

[rancid ice]

so when i create the script this cant be changed with another one but only editing?

[viral hill]

You haven't really explained what the actual problem is. I can't understand what you are trying to do

[rancid ice]

bcs i was asking the ai to help me and he said that if this box is grey is a problem

[viral hill]

You can remove this component entirely and replace it with another script if you want.

[rancid ice]

oh

[viral hill]

Don't ask AI anything as a beginner

[rancid ice]

ok

[viral hill]

Again, what is the actual problem

[rancid ice]

but idk where to start, i tried to search for some youtube tutorial but the newest is 5 years old

[crimson bluff]

Cuz it's hardly accurate

[stuck flower]

The AI doesn't know dick about shit, stop asking it questions. It doesn't provide answers, it placates the user by telling them what it thinks they want to hear

[rancid ice]

ok understood

[viral hill]

In my experience, it's not wrong too often, but only because I know how to ask correct questions. A beginner doesn't know how to do that.

[storm patio]

you also know how to verify when it's wrong

a beginner wouldn't

[rancid ice]

for now with the ai i was able to make the movement he wrote me the script

[viral hill]

Yeah true

[rancid ice]

but he worked

[viral hill]

You haven't actually learned anything, even if it is right

another question: it is possible create animations with unity without blender?

[undone monolith]

yes

[potent geyser]

At a basic level, yes.

[rancid ice]

basic level means like walking?

[undone monolith]

yeah advanced and complex anims can't be done on unity

[potent geyser]

Meaning, basic keyframing something.

[rancid ice]

ok

[undone monolith]

there's an animation window

[rancid ice]

but is all in code right?

[potent geyser]

No, it has keyframing

[rancid ice]

ok

[viral hill]

You could. It would be super tough though

[rancid ice]

soo its more faster with blender

[viral hill]

I wouldn't consider walking to be basic

[undone monolith]

blender is harder, but more control

[viral hill]

For really easy stuff, it's better to use Unity imo

It just saves a lot of time

[rancid ice]

unity imo ok

bcs i already use blender and able to do animations like walking

[undone monolith]

oh then that's great

you'll find it easy then

Well true

It's a lighthouse and some houses, I might use it in my unity essentials starting game

[stuck flower]

Game Development can't even take over game development. Even the lack of personality in your average AAA game can't sustain a business but a game made by three australians over a decade can crash every single game platform on release.

[steady ferry]

All I did is install the application 😭

[foggy void]

i know nothing about any kind of code other than a little csharp that i code my mods in

[proud lion]

What do you think i did? Ask the owner for the application?!?!

[foggy void]

the code is the least of my worries honestly

right now im trying to figure out why my rig is so messed up in game

[steady ferry]

I know 0% about game development, how can I collab?

[foggy void]

i got the rig from the developers of the game im modding for

and it doesnt take properly to the model

its quite annoying

guys, quick question for the unity pros here (which I imagine is almost everyone 😄 )

say I have a geometry blockout of a cylinder in unity engine, I export this out using FBX exporter package to Blender to model a massive platform, steps etc. is there a way to ensure that when you reimport it to Unity after its modified, that it will return to the exact location you exported it at? location in the scene I mean

[stuck flower]

If you can't figure out how to post to a forum you can save yourself the trouble because you aren't going to get very far in game development

[blissful vortex]

what is with the verification code process to get access to this channel.
dumb.

anyway hello everyone, hope all is well.

[proud lion]

Awwwwwww maan ok 😢

[foggy void]

hit him with the “if youre nothing without this suit then you shouldnt have it”

[stuck flower]

If you export your FBX over the one in your Unity Assets folder it'll change things you've already put in the scene that reference it

[safe garden]

ah ty

[charred fog]

The model should retain the same anchor point if you don't change it

can anyone give me a breakdown on the New input system?
i switched my PC from Windows to Linux and updated my project from v 2021(had it working, no problems) to unity 6. I Cant seem to get around this one error,
Actions asset and Player Input Component dont work well because of a singleton, The documentation however states to have both for multiplayer.

am i missing something?

[charred fog]

#🖱️┃input-system Package has tutorial examples that can be installed and check the pinned resources as well.

is there a more efficient workflow to import a mesh with its paired collision mesh, rather than importing both as separate meshes and assigning the collision in mesh collider? just wondered if there was an addon or something

[foggy void]

i have all relevant info there

If you're getting an error you should actually mention what it is

It might be an obscure problem as well. If people didn't have first hand experience with it they would not be inclined to jump in into debugging session.

[maiden tapir]

I have a pretty simple scene and I keep getting these lockups when I try to do some pretty basic stuff like enable/disable GameObjects or modify component properties

Does anyone know what could be causing these stalls?

[near wigeon]

Not really

[rose ore]

I see.

[near wigeon]

No but you can try refreshing your Library / cache and see if there are improvements

[rose ore]

It is lovely how game dev is not took over by AI like web dev is

[maiden tapir]

Already wiped it

[rose ore]

The barrier is still too high.

[near wigeon]

What unity version are you on ?

[maiden tapir]

6.2.11f1 (latest as of last night)

[rose ore]

I thought unity might have a break through but it seems it is same.

[near wigeon]

And it's a brand new project, no editor script or anything? Try an earlier version maybe

Go for LTS of possible is usually better

[maiden tapir]

Our project is pretty long in the tooth, and this has been happening for a while. At least since 6.0

[near wigeon]

I would double check if it's an asset that might be cause

[maiden tapir]

Do you happen to know if this is saying the Unity Editor is trying to refresh UI built on UITK, or if it's processing the UIDOC I have setup in my scene

[blazing tundra]

I have menu scene, wich a player can create a room and players can join, and then the host can START GAME, witch it changes scene. I have my player prefab with movement code, but how do I instantiate a Player prefab for each player in the new scene

[maiden tapir]

It appears to be a leak of some sort, it gets worse over time as I interact with the scene heirarchy

[blazing tundra]

Sorry guys for my bad english, I'm coming also fron Photon, first approach to NWG

[maiden tapir]

yeah I'm trying remove stuff and do experiments to try and whittle down what might be causing this

[near wigeon]

Check here
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@2.5/manual/components/core/playerobjects.html

[pure igloo]

i am trying to create a system which checks whether my mouse is within a certain object or not and if it is clicked, it temporarily makes a copy of the sprite present inside the foreground. i tried searching and found out about raycasts. if i am not wrong, it's supposed to be able to detect whether my mouse hits a collider by making a ray and then returns its transform. thing is, what do i do with the transform? how do i know which collider it hit...

this is so that i can deploy different towers for a tower defense game

[tranquil swallow]

I'm so tired of waiting 5 years for unity to open

unity 6 slowed things down noticeably.

[maiden tapir]

It actually looks like having my UIDocument enabled is causing this slowdown

[charred fog]

Collision events have information about objects they hit.

[pure igloo]

alright, will look into it

I need help with my project I want to import a template with fps setup into my multiplayer template from unity can someone help me?

[charred fog]

Follow a tutorial, ask specific questions here if you hit problems.

[fringe imp]

There isnt really a tutorial for this @charred fog

I need to replace the preset character controlls and animations, prefabs character and weapons with my other template

[charred fog]

Multiplayer tutorial would explain how to work with a character and how to sync everything else.

[fringe imp]

Well If you mean the one in unity I followed it and it didnt give me a clue on how to do this..

[foggy void]

you said there was a solution online? what did you search? i couldnt find anything with my wording

[safe garden]

quick q - my friend showed me meshes in Unity and he's got the collision mesh as a child of the main mesh (here its swamp tree as the parent,) yet the child collision mesh isn't rendering in the scene? Any idea how this works?

[charred fog]

https://www.google.com/search?q=unity+animation+plays+backwards&oq=unity+animation+plays+backwards

[fringe imp]

could you link me to a proper tutorial?

[foggy void]

thats not my issue

[charred fog]

You often would not find the exact thing you are looking for. Find tutorials that describe some things you need to do. Multiplayer tutorials in particular have examples and templates you can study, deconstruct and apply to your situation.

[fringe imp]

That's why I asking in the discord in someone could help me, beacuse I've already looked at several and tried to implement it, and I cant get it to work.

[charred fog]

This is your entire question

but no matter what i do the animation always plays backwards
i dont understand why it doesnt just play forward```

Again, if it doesn't describe your issue, ask a better and descriptive question

[foggy void]

its an issue with the rig, but when i mirror the rig it still plays the animation on it backwards

i went in and tried to even manually reverse every bone in the rig and it still played backwards

[sharp oracle]

Can anyone help me out, I'm having trouble importing assets from the Asset Store?

[charred fog]

"Can't get it to work" is not a question. This is not a place to find people do stuff for you. For that there's collab forum on Discussions, you can post a job there.
I've already linked you how to ask questions in the channel. Start solving your problem and ask relevant question to the problem.

[charred fog]

You need to actually describe the issue for that.

[sharp oracle]

ok...

When prompted to choose an app I can't find one to open the assets in asset manager.

[balmy kettle]

just use the package manager to download the assets to your project

Rather, I get the store to open the UnityHub only

I have been trying this route all morning after googling and clicking a bunch of YouTube vids 🙁

[balmy kettle]

use the package manager in the unity editor, not whatever it is you are attempting to do there
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/upm-ui.html

[sharp oracle]

Just finished reading the entire page. Nothing new here

[balmy kettle]

and what happens when you actually try using the package manager to download an asset

[tranquil swallow]

so tired of clicking on a unity project to close it just to have to wait a minute for it to compile....

[charred fog]

This is not place for pointless venting.

[sharp oracle]

The 'My Assets' tab is empty since I can't find the unity app for the site to import them in the first place.....

[balmy kettle]

if "My Assets" is empty then you are signed into the wrong account

[charred fog]

@sharp oracle You add asset from the Store page on the website to the project, then open Package Manager and find and download it there

[balmy kettle]

you don't need to "find the unity app for the site to import them", you use the package manager to download and import them into your project

[tranquil swallow]

not really pointless if there are solutions

[charred fog]

Not seeing any questions asked from you.

[pure igloo]

i won't be reading this now, i will after i rest. just clarifying, aren't these supposed to be collisions between different colliders? i asked whether it would be possible to me to manage stuff like placing units from the tower tray into the game scene, delete units on the game scene and other stuff like that...that wouldn't need colliders, instead, it would be the mouse interacting with the various colliders...

[sharp oracle]

I used to import all of the time so I am familiar with how it should work but now when I'm at he unity store and I hit the 'Open in Unity' button I get prompted with choosing an app. I tried selecting my newest vesrion of Unity.exe(which is the version I'm trying to import into,) but instead the webpage opens Unity Hub and doesn't import anything.

[balmy kettle]

again, just use the package manager. that's how you're meant to import store assets into your projects

[charred fog]

Right, in case of the raycasting you get similar hit object that has all info.

[tranquil swallow]

how about we make a smarter compilation system that doesn't just recompile at every possible moment the window is set as the active one

[charred fog]

There's a suggestion thread for that on Discussions forums.

[balmy kettle]

Refresh error
well that's probably related

[tranquil swallow]

Sounds good I'll go post there. Thank you for the direction.

[mint frigate]

Hi. Can you use unity in SteamOS?

[balmy kettle]

SteamOS is linux, and unity only technically supports like one or two distros so it's technically unsupported. but probably possible if you look up how to install unity on unsupported linux distros

[mint frigate]

I see. Is there a thread or link for giving suggestions? I would like to suggest to support steamos as development platform.

[balmy kettle]

it's incredibly unlikely unity would start supporting another linux distro. but like i said, it's probably possible to get it working. you'd just have to google how because I don't have the instructions

[charred fog]

[mint frigate]

I mean with the announcement of new steam hardwares, i believe that the steam ecosystem will eventually get big. So dunno if "incredibly unlikely" is a wise choice. Or am I just the one thinking like this?

[mint frigate]

Thanks! I'll try there tho i feel like it's a ghost town over there.

[balmy kettle]

linux has an incredibly small market share. steamos is also a really small percent of that already small share, don't expect official support for the unity editor on it

[faint river]

I finally got a multiplayer FPS template working with plug-and-play, and no longer have to wait 5-20 minutes for shaders to compile. Most importantly, I don't have to wait ~5-10 seconds for the scripts to recompile every time I change a script.

Thank you all for the information and help, it's feeling like freedom

[sonic stratus]

Hi everyone !! I'm a beginner developer in Unity in my first project and i've a problem with input system that i cant found the solution. Already have the Both option marked !!!
Bassicaly Input System Unity In the Editor everything works, in the Windows build only the mouse click responds ( the keyboard doesn't work ).

• Has anyone seen the Input System detect the mouse but not the keyboard in the Windows build, while it works in the Editor?
  Is it possible that Active Input Handling (Project Settings → Player) set to “Input Manager (Old)” or “Both” is causing this problem? Should I force “Input System Package (New)”?

[faint river]

I can't speak to the first half, but I remember it giving me warnings that builds might have issues if you use 'both', so I always set mine to new.

check your console for additional warnings on build, perhaps it holds more information

[sonic stratus]

Okay i will activate the console for see the warnings

[sonic stratus]

Thank you man ,bassicaly the build doesnt choose the correct input system i updated my code and now its working done. blessed the console xD

[proud lion]

Hey does anyone have a script for eggs hatching?

[stuck flower]

That's not really something you're likely to find a canned script for. Whatever that means is likely highly related to your specific use case.

[proud lion]

Ok

[safe garden]

is it possible to group multiple meshes and then have them hidden without hiding them manually in the hierachy? i.e. having a group of meshes and enabling mesh renderer to turn it off, so the meshes are in the scene but not rendering

[stuck flower]

You could make a list of MeshRenderers in a script and then loop through them and disable them whenever you need to

[fair cove]

This server isnt really a "help" as in "can someone write a script for me?" but more a "help" as in "I am struggling to figure out how to do x can anyone provide some insight?" So if you have a specific question, its best to ask it with as much relevant details (assume no one knows your project or understands what your trying to do in it), we wont be able to provide you with a script you can copy-paste, but maybe someone can help answer some things thatll help you write your own or guide you to some research online

[safe garden]

are Decals in unity considered optimal at all? it seems handy for adding stickers, etc. but just wondered if its better to do it through textures

[fair cove]

Kind of depends on how many, they end up creating additional draw calls, but ive used them in a FPS having around 300 or so active in a object pool with little hit to performance (or rather, they were not the bottleneck in performance), with HDRP

Though there was 1 glitch in HDRP that we had with them and honestly im not even sure if they were actually related to decals, but we found having more than 100 decals within the camera frustum at once, would sometimes cause the camera to stop rendering until you look at an angle that has less than 100 decals in-frame, not really sure why reducing the pool to 99 fixed it most of the time, but I feel it was more of a false-flag issue (we could still have more than 99 active in the scene, just not "on screen")

[safe garden]

thank you @fair cove for the informative reply

I am using URP with my team in this case

one other thing if anyone knows animation wise - have brought an animation in to the scene just to test with a simple mesh, it plays fine in preview but setup and animation controller, hit play and stays static? 🤔

[near wigeon]

any news / info if Unity is going to support Steam Frame SDK out the box ?

[near wigeon]

enable GPU Instancing, should be pretty good

[plain dagger]

well depending on how the decal works that wont work

(there are various modes for urp decals)

[safe garden]

I think I saw one demo where the dude was wearing a wireframe cube to press decals on walls

but still very new to it

[near wigeon]

I meant specifically the Decal Projector one

[plain dagger]

If its not mesh deform then yea gpu instancing will help a tad

the main cost would be the projection stuffs

[near wigeon]

ya more details here @safe garden
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/urp/renderer-feature-decal.html#decal-projector:~:text="Performance"

[fallen goblet]

I am unable to build my game outa nowhere, anyone knows what "Shader error in 'Universal Render Pipeline/Particles/Simple Lit': multiple variables found with the same user-specified location" is

i removed URP and imported it again, didnt work

try refreshing library / cache maybe?

[fallen goblet]

i recloned the project from github, and removed the library folder many times, imma try cache now, everytime i delete the library folder its hours to complile again so pain

clearing cache did not help ;-;

[near wigeon]

by cache I did mean library but yeah..hmm..
i found this maybe you can try it
https://discussions.unity.com/t/urp-lit-shader-error/849567/8

though might be different.

try also putting this into a different unity version or something. since you already have a repo commit should be easy to revert / use a copy

does anyone have any experience in creating a pipeline for unity projects

i'm looking into it nwo for my project

Historically managing pipelines has been a pulling teeth level of frustration

[near wigeon]

Github Desktop is just a client
Github is a host, you can use any client like CLI

[ripe sphinx]

I'm hoping that it's nto that way for this lol

ah didn't know

GitHub desktop has weird differences and lacks some features

That's why I don't like the program

not sure what you mean by the distinction between those 2

[near wigeon]

oh so builds yea, I've used github actions but no idea about azure

unity also has something in cloud but never used it

[ripe sphinx]

my repo is in azuredevops

otherwise i'd use github actions too

[near wigeon]

I'm sure there is similarities in setup, and making your yaml file

[ripe sphinx]

what kind of pipeline template do you use?

[near wigeon]

I was using linux with UGS so its probably different, I think it was this https://services.docs.unity.com/guides/ugs-cli/latest/general/samples/ci-cd-pipeline-usage/github-actions/

Im sure if you search around you will find yours with azure

others have recommended game.ci as well, but haven't personally tried it (for github)

https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-DevOps-YAML-for-Unity this is old ? (archived) but might be a good starting point

[tight vale]

Does anyone have any tips for starting to make simple games? Basically, I wanna make games and I don't care if they're not super advanced at first, but the thing is that whenever I come up with an idea it ends up being too overambitious. So like, I wanna come up with an idea that is simple but also not trash. I wanna start off somewhere.

Or like, just let me know if it's a stupid problem lol

[lapis gate]

flabby birb

[tight vale]

Hmm... Interesting... Yeah, I like that idea

[lapis gate]

Something like checkers is probably the best intro to making something or anything turn based like that, but if you do want to make some character controller I'd do something like mario or flabby birb ye

[copper gust]

setting some really hard limits can be nice. input limitations are a big one

try making a game with 2 buttons

or even 1 (with tap, hold and release being considered)

[tight vale]

Omg I could make a platformer or something like that :0

[copper gust]

platformers are big 😛

[shrewd island]

does anyone have an answer to this? sorry to be impatient but we're both still trying to figure it out and still nothing

[lapis gate]

never used unity version control but if you've questions using git/hub

[tight vale]

however checkers does sound fun too

[lapis gate]

should always do at least one grid-type game

[shrewd island]

wdym using git/hub? is there an alternate way to do this?

[lapis gate]

you've multiple options for version control. You don't necessarily need to use unity's solution.

but I think unity does give a bit more space for your projects

[tight vale]

what if i make tower defense or like a pvz type game

[copper gust]

smaller

checkers sounds good

[lapis gate]

chess is fine too but requires a bit more thinking with arrays as you'll be doing a lot of 2D array math for that

[tight vale]

What if I make an online RPG with procedural generation and a story that branches out and progresses over time with stats that can branch out with like buffs and then I add shaders and hd textures and make everything by myself in 48 hours

I don't even think what I said makes sense

[lapis gate]

remove the online portion and perhaps

im looking for help with making the pathing for my own turn based game

plays exactly like checkers tbh

sounds like normal grid-based movement but instead of being able to move north/south/east/west you can move to the diagonals

What specifically are you struggling with?

[broken grove]

I dont think its even simple or can be done in 48 hours
Even making the procedural generation to work right might takes more than 48 hours

Yes I know I was joking :D

Hello everyone, I’m building an app using Unity and I’m trying to form a team to allow for quicker development. I already put a collaboration post on the Unity forums. However, I am aware that not many of the unpaid projects end up attracting people. I’m going to wait to see how my post does, as it’s very unique compared to the usual game offers. But I still want to get as many people as possible. Does anyone know any other good resources for forming a Unity team? I may be able to provide compensation down the road from revenue but I find that not many people these days are willing to wait which makes it very hard to recruit. Does anyone have any ideas? Any advice/help is appreciated! Thanks in advance

[broken grove]

well, start learning how to make your own game? At least until you have a proof of concept, prototype, or anything you can show to other people, or even investors/publishers. I mean, as harsh as it sounds, but it has better chance compared to assembling random people on internet to work on your game.
Also, you might try reddit r/INAT (I need a team)

[noble locust]

just saw your message, what's source control?

[copper gust]

sleepy, i mean version control

[fallen goblet]

it basically works when it wants to, my whole project is behaving so weird, im now stuck into the endless compiling shader part, gotta wait till it finishes before i can try anything, thx for the support will try and update u once its done

[near wigeon]

depends what you update, but you should not use PlayerPrefs for anything that isn't short term / temporary

[oak meadow]

like if you update the game

[near wigeon]

"update the game" you said that.. its vague.
if its the same name / company name, it should

[tulip jolt]

I 100% agree. However, I have been working on it a lot myself. I know how to do it, but it takes a while to do alone. It is not a game, it is an app to visualize data I am gathering from custom PCB's for a sport analytics device. Creating the UI is not hard, just very time consuming so I am trying to find some help. If I can't, I'm not going to stress it. But I am focused primarily on the physical prototype of the product so it would be nice having a small team doing the UI in the meantime.

[oak meadow]

i mean like you have a game published then push a new build

[near wigeon]

probably. But why not just to make sure?

[oak meadow]

i dont have a game published

[near wigeon]

you should be using Application.persistentDataPath anyway, and do your own versioning check there if you need consistency

[exotic relic]

As long as it’s the same pc and same company name it will save

It stores that data in your pcs registry using a path based on your games company name

[oak meadow]

okay thanks

[copper gust]

people need a reason to work on a project, which is usually either passion or profit. i think you'll be pressed to find someone else passioniate about that specific project

[exotic relic]

The Unity editor is separate, that player prefs won’t be the same as the build. Yes you can update the build

[tulip jolt]

That's so true. The only problem is that it's tough finding people with my motivation. I think that's the hardest part about making a startup, finding a team who are just as passionate as me. I have a lot of friends who have the knowledge to do it, but I know they don't have the same vision as me for this project. They don't have the connection to the sport like I do. I might try offering revenue shares for the app on my unity forum post and hope it attracts some people.

[copper gust]

I mean this with absolutely full respect but honestly pretty much no one gives a fuck about rev share

[tulip jolt]

lmaooo

i figured

[near wigeon]

at least not someone who values their time

[copper gust]

Unless you come from a background that allows it anyone out of highschool is gonna need to think about money and the promise of money isn't something that pays rent

You'd need proof of your value to the project at the very least

Otherwise why wouldn't they just commit to their own stuff

[tulip jolt]

Someone quote that😭 Okay so I'll continue to work on the project solo. Once I can prove it works and there is demand for it, I should be able to receive funding and file my provisional patent. Then maybe from there I can look into forming a team because I have something to display

[near wigeon]

a. lets buy pickaxe, help me dig this spot there might be gold here, we'll split profits
or
b. lets buy pickaxe, I can prove this spot has gold, we dig. We'll split profits

[tulip jolt]

beautiful metaphor

Hey everyone! I’m Teslim – I’m really into indie games and helping devs get their projects in front of the right players. I’m not here to sell anything, just excited to learn, share, and see what creative projects people are building. If you’re working on something story-driven or indie, I’d love to check it out sometime!

[copper gust]

especially when with the former, if there is no gold you the collaborator also would not own the hole

its so much investment for something that isn't yours

[near wigeon]

& then you have kickstarters... 😆
lots of fluff, you end up not owning what was promised

just very good marketing

[copper gust]

kickstarters i dont mind because i feel like that's more like structured donations

it has to be presented like it's selling a product for it to do it's best job but

[tulip jolt]

But what about the founder? The person who spent the money to buy the pickaxe, plan where to dig, and offer an oppertunity to the others. You're saying that they must show the gold for people to help dig it? So they must do all the work for collaborators to start right when they're about to finish.

[copper gust]

yes

because they are the founder

they own it

they are offering an opportunity, you need to make that actually valuable

[near wigeon]

You'd at least need to prove that your method will work, or that you have things lined up to make it successful

in terms of games maybe you have a publisher interested so if you can get a team, you could potentially get published and so on but you'd need contracts too

big reason Vertical Slice exist , you can proove it works

[tulip jolt]

So in the case of my project, obviously I would have to show demand for the product, but would I need to show a functioning prototype or a final product? Putting it back in terms of the gold, how deep does the hole have to be for other to want to help dig?

[copper gust]

you'd have to figure that out for your project unfortunately

its why most of the time money is the solution

[tulip jolt]

Unfortunately as a highschooler, money is the one thing I don't have much of😔 I'll just keep spending my time instead👍

Thank you so much guys. I have my pickaxe. Now I'll just be digging for gold🫡

[near wigeon]

goodluck

[tulip jolt]

thank you

"source control" is also valid btw, that's what the "sc" in "git scm" is

[copper gust]

and here i thought it meant git scam

[storm patio]

apparently wikipedia cites it as both "source-control management" and "source code management" and i didn't find anything on the gitscm website...

[sharp oracle]

Is anyone on? I have a question about coding in an audio source

[undone monolith]

I'm quite new myself, but I might help you out

[sharp oracle]

when the SFX is supposed to trigger I get an error message instead

[vivid cedar]

Sharing the error message might help those of us who are not mind readers

[vivid cedar]

Well - from your screenshot that field isn't even showing up in the inspector, and you seem to maybe have a compile error as well

So - you need to of course assign the field

It's telling you pretty clearly the field is not assigned

(says what to do in the error message)

[sharp oracle]

right...

I'm hoping to run into somebody smart enough to break down what is being said on the screen

[vivid cedar]

See how you assigned these other variables here?

you need to do that for your audiosource as well

[vivid cedar]

no

[sharp oracle]

see how it is already done?

[vivid cedar]

no

what you showed is irrelevant

we are talking about these fields
