It's odd that the dingSFX field itself is not showing up in the inspector though

So you need to fix that first

[sharp oracle]

Ok I think I see what you're saying then. brb

[vivid cedar]

make sure:

1. You saved your code
2. You don't have any compile errors

[sharp oracle]

go it 🙂

thank you

I had created this field but hadn't dragged the audio source into the field. Thanks again

[copper gust]

btw if your ever adding to something you can use += so instead of thing = thing + otherThing you can do thing += otherThing

doesnt do anything different just nice lil' thing

[vivid cedar]

yes that's what I was saying

[sharp oracle]

I'm working on my first Unity project. I'm attempting to remake flappy bird btw

I'm nearly done but can't find a way to code in a function that will make my game stop tracking points when the bird dies. Any tips?

I'm trying to work into one of these 3 scripts but I'm lacking creativity

[vivid cedar]

there are tons of ways to do it

LogicScript already has a gameover function right? So make it set a bool variable to true and then in addScore you can just do:
if (gameIsOver) return;

or just stop spawning pipes

[sharp oracle]

Pardon my ignorance but how can I use the former method?

I'd like to know how return works

[vivid cedar]

return just ends the function right there

• 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.

[feral flare]

Buummp, still struggling with this

I have literally no need for this branch but cant get rid of it because of some weird merge link

[pure igloo]

guys i don't understand how to layer stuff. it's so damn hard.

is the second box a different colour than the other boxes or am i tripping?

it was like this yesterday and when i opened unity, it turned into this

[storm patio]

it's a different color. what's your actual question?

[pure igloo]

i somehow reverted it to what it was previously but i am afraid if i were to reopen unity, it would change all over again.

[storm patio]

still no clue what you're asking

[potent topaz]

Have all the channels been abandoned in favour of unity-talk? 🤣 This place is dead these days

[pure igloo]

so....you see how they are different colours in the 3 different pictures? yesterday, i set colours similar to my first picture and i saved it. then today, when i opened unity again, the colour of the boxes and stuff changed. i had to reset it all over again. i don't know how i did it, but it did happen. i have no clue how this happens

how do you set them permanently is my question

[summer rose]

is this the same sprite in 4 different game objects? are you doing something in the game objects that changes their color?

[storm patio]

are you sure it wasn't just like, tinted or something

you aren't giving any kind of useful info that would be needed to debug the issue

are these in UI or sprite renderers?

[pure igloo]

i don't even know what could possibly make this happen...

[pure igloo]

sprite renderers

[storm patio]

sure, but that doesn't excuse you from providing context

[pure igloo]

ya..but like...what do i give, i don't know

[storm patio]

are the colors of the spriterenderers all set to pure white

[storm patio]

what the images actually are for example (images / spriterenderers / etc, are they buttons? that kind of thing)

[pure igloo]

no, only the droplet, the boxes and stuff i used the default rectangle sprite which unity came with and i just colour them

[storm patio]

so it's multiple sprite renderers?

what is the setup here exactly?

[pure igloo]

holy crap, it's doing the dodgy thing again

why did it turn into this abomination

[feral flare]

Just skimmed over it and I haven't used Unity2D much but I'm assuming you have set the boxes and droplets to a layer above the background?

Because this shouldn't happen if so

[summer rose]

yeah but your sprite is in the Default layer behind Background

[pure igloo]

i could just make like 10 diff layers or smth to do it

[pure igloo]

wait no...?

[pure igloo]

am i getting something wrong?

[storm patio]

those should probably all be in UI and just with different orders

[pure igloo]

aight try that out then

[summer rose]

ok I was looking at the layer, not sorting layer, excuse me @pure igloo

[pure igloo]

bro thx a lot, it worked out

[storm patio]

the issue above wasn't that the color changed, most likely - it was just being rendered behind

since your deployBackground is partially transparent

[pure igloo]

ya no shot i was getting that, i don't know how colour mixing works so i thought it was prolly due to colour mixing

[storm patio]

well.. yeah it was

[pure igloo]

damn dese colours

[summer rose]

but if you just want the blue guys on the dark green background, why did you leave the yellow background there?

you can make it transparent in your editing tool

[pure igloo]

i want it like this, dunno if that answers ur qs or not

[summer rose]

ok got it

whats the best way to make a grass bg for a top down game? that is affected by lightning in 2d

thats tilled as well

[plain dagger]

Like how to make the art?

[gaunt grail]

no how to set it up i got a seamless texture

[plain dagger]

a sprite renderer has a tiled mode so you can make the sprite larger and have it tile

or if you use a tilemap you can just paint the sprite over the area you want

im so dumb i actually didnt see this

[quick sage]

Hello here 👋

Is there a unity developer here ?

[plain dagger]

Hmm on the unity server? I hope so

[kind orchid]

Can someone help me I opened up my project file into a new pc with unity and this is what I got. Can i fix this and get all my materials and assets back to normal?

[viral hill]

there are like 3 different problems here

[kind orchid]

Are they fixable?

[viral hill]

pink materials means shader mismatch. some of the objects in your hierarchy being red means you are missing prefabs in your assets folder so they cant be linked. and the errors mean you're missing certain libraries

[viral hill]

if you know what to do, yeah

[kind orchid]

Not entirely but I can try

Okay it should have coped all my assets from the old file and all the materials

[viral hill]

it definitely didnt

[kind orchid]

The original project folder isn’t there anymore. This is a copy of it

[copper gust]

It doesn’t seem like it’s a full copy

[kind orchid]

Okay then what can I do?

[storm patio]

you might have some mismatching versions of stuff

reset the library perhaps

[kind orchid]

How do I do that?

[storm patio]

close the project, delete the library folder, reopen the project

it'll take longer than normal as it rebuilds the library

[kind orchid]

What now?

[storm patio]

• are you getting the same errors about the test package?
• do you have vcs set up?

(also, you don't have a scene open there - you can try reopening the scene you had open previously to see how it looks)

[kind orchid]

I don’t think I have vcs set up.

Where would I see the error?

[storm patio]

in the console window, like before

[kind orchid]

Okay it worked opening the scenes thank god

[kind orchid]

The only issue is the furniture isn’t there now

Is there a way to fix those?

[kind orchid]

Like the chairs, shelves, etc. I can see they are prefabs so can I recover them?

[storm patio]

seems like some links were lost

how did you transfer the project?

[kind orchid]

I just copied the project file itself

I didn’t know any other way to do it

[storm patio]

the project folder, right?

[kind orchid]

Correct

I’m not sure why my prefabs aren’t showing

[copper gust]

If the original project is gone that stuff might be gone

[kind orchid]

Is there anyway to recover the furniture? I mean if not i can add it again even if it takes a bit

[wise jay]

can someone help me, i wanna delete faces for a door but the surrounding edges are empty and leaves a gap im using probuilder

[hidden dock]

Im trying to make my player colide with a cube and stop but the cube starts flying and then the floor starts falling, can someone help me

[viral hill]

if the models arent in your assets, you need to re import them. you dont have another choice

[kind orchid]

Okay thanks for the help still. It’s not the biggest set back. The house structure is what I really cared about because that shit took forever to build right

[viral hill]

does your floor have a rigidbody?

[hidden dock]

yes

[viral hill]

why

[hidden dock]

my bad

let me remove it real quick

[wise jay]

is there any vc where i can stream n get help

[stuck flower]

No. Ask the question using words and provide screenshots if necessary

[viral hill]

you should follow some tutorials rather than doing random stuff and hoping it works

[hidden dock]

ok, now i need to make the player stop when hiting a cube

i saw some but it got me confuse

[wise jay]

imma get an answer in like a week this way

[viral hill]

does the cube have a rigidbody?

[hidden dock]

yes

[potent geyser]

Longer, if you don't ask an actual question. 🤷‍♂️

[viral hill]

anyone that's willing to help you in the appropriate channel is gonna be less willing to join a call

[viral hill]

why

[wise jay]

based on what

i really dont need one

let me remove it real quick

[viral hill]

based on the nature of man

it takes less effort

[wise jay]

who are you to say what nature of all man are

[potent geyser]

[wise jay]

speaking is less effort than typing

[stuck flower]

Well yes if you take a week to actually ask a question it's gonna be a while

[viral hill]

bruh stop adding random stuff if you dont know what they do

[wise jay]

i've asked it

[stuck flower]

Where

[wise jay]

#🛠️┃probuilder

[hidden dock]

my bad

[viral hill]

never said all. just my experience with this server especially

[hidden dock]

but now my player is going crazy and getting repeled after hitting the wall

[wise jay]

does your player have a rigid body

[hidden dock]

yes

[stuck flower]

Okay that was less than five minutes ago

[wise jay]

why

[stuck flower]

You're being a bit dramatic

[viral hill]

so it can move

you dont need a why on this one

[hidden dock]

oh ok

i was gonna start tweaking

[viral hill]

is it tilting? or being launched?

[wise jay]

not dramatic enough

[hidden dock]

it tilts, then it starts forcefully moving towards the direction it tilts

i think it might be reacting to the colision with the cube

[stuck flower]

So, player has Rigidbody, wall has collider but no Rigidbody, correct?

How are you moving the player? Setting velocity or adding force?

[viral hill]

sounds like you need to restrict the axes of rotation on your player

you can do so via the rb component

[hidden dock]

setting velocity

like the tutorial told me to

[stuck flower]

Also that 👆 , that might be the whole of the issue actually

[hidden dock]

ok

thx

[stuck flower]

Yeah, that's fine, both are valid, it just lets us know what the problem might be.

You're setting the velocity which is likely based on the objects rotation, so when it tilts, your velocity is now pointing in a different direction and causing it to move erratically

[hidden dock]

it was the whole issue

[hidden dock]

that i can understand

thx

but it worked

Hi, how do you share your project with others? I shared my game project in GitHub and they opened it in their unity, it loaded all scripts and sprites etc. but whole Hierarchy is empty and there is basically no scene or game at all. What am I missing with sharing?

[plain dagger]

What files were comitted into the repo?

[vagrant root]

Using version control in Unity

Unity Version Control

Git

Get the latest .gitignore file from here. It should be placed at the root of your Unity project directory.

[plain dagger]

^ Make sure you have the gitignore file linked above

[solid quiver]

I put unity in .gitignore, otherwise it said it's too large and and can't pull it

[plain dagger]

you mean push

[solid quiver]

oh yes

[plain dagger]

Github has a limit of 100mb per file (unless using git lfs)
Did the other person clone the repo and checkout the correct branch?

Btw if you did commit files too large for github to accept you need to correct the branch in some way to actually push your new commits

[solid quiver]

yes they have like all data that my project has, it just doesn't make the structure like I have. This is completely empty for them

[hidden dock]

hi, i have been having some trouble with the input system and i wanted to know what properties do i choose and bindings to make a sprint input

[plain dagger]

You need to check properly, check online, is the latest commit online the same as your local copy?
What commit is your friend on?

[solid quiver]

We are on same commit

[plain dagger]

Then either you are mistaken, did not commit these changes yet or are on different branches

[solid quiver]

I think I havent placed gitignore correctly. I just chose to filter Unity when I created repo on website

[plain dagger]

there should be a file called .gitignore in the root of the repository

[potent geyser]

Have you verified they actually opened the correct scene? And it's not just the built in blank sample scene?

[solid quiver]

Yes we had screen share on and opened the scene but nothing happened

[plain dagger]

If you save a new scene, does it show as a new change you can commit?

[solid quiver]

Didn't know that I can save the scene as file, I try again 😂

[plain dagger]

erm how was that new info

[balmy kettle]

then how were the others opening it? 🤔

[plain dagger]

you should already have Level1 saved as a scene file

[solid quiver]

I though it's saved on project not like separate file

[balmy kettle]

it's a file in the project

[plain dagger]

a project is a bunch of files

pebcak moment

[solid quiver]

Yeaa it's my first year in school and still learning all this and we decided to choose unity for our project

[plain dagger]

I dont want to be rude but was it not clear when you opened a scene and saved it first that its a file in the project?

your git client/gui should show the changes as files too

the project window in editor is showing the files in the Assets/ folder

[balmy kettle]

I'm also curious what they actually did with regards to this ☝️ if they didn't know the scene was a file they needed to open

[solid quiver]

I mean there was scene this one and it did nothing, but now i saved the actual scene, scene1 (probably saved it in bad place because it was a test)

[balmy kettle]

what happened to the Level1 scene that was already saved?

[plain dagger]

well the first picture shows a scene file with a different name thats not "Level1"

[solid quiver]

i dont think so that i never saved level1 scene until now

[balmy kettle]

that's obviously untrue considering it wouldn't even be named Level1 if it hadn't been saved

we can also see from the screenshot of the Level1 scene that is doesn't even have unsaved changes

[plain dagger]

Do young people now not get taught about computer files anymore???

I know now with phones and apps we dont need to know but I learnt that stuff on windows xp 😐

[solid quiver]

well now it's saved

[balmy kettle]

but it already was too, you just need to search your project for the existing file

[solid quiver]

I do know files, I just dont understand unity yet, that's why im asking

[balmy kettle]

presumably it's saved in the Levels folder

[solid quiver]

yup it's there

maybe we then never opened the level scene

[plain dagger]

Everything in the project window under "Assets" is a file in the Assets/ folder

[balmy kettle]

yes, that's the point that everyone was making. you needed to actually open the scene. the last opened scene is stored somewhere in the Library folder which you shouldn't be committing to version control in the first place, so when the others opened the project there was no scene open and they just needed to open that existing scene.

[solid quiver]

Thanks for help, I know it's frustrating to help in super basic things but some ppl are just dumber 😵‍💫 (it worked 😇)

[exotic relic]

You need to understand that there are plenty of people here who are kids, never touched a computer before, and don’t have experience. Be nice about it. It may look stupid to you but to others they don’t know any better.

How are people supposed to automatically know how to save something.

[plain dagger]

I dont think its unreasonable to expect someone to know these basic skills before using unity

we are here to help with unity specific issues. Understanding computer files is different

[solid quiver]

We have lot of ambition to try unity, our teachers already told us that they dont know anything about it that we are on our own 😝

[storm patio]

do people not have computer literacy classes anymore

it's such crucial information

[plain dagger]

Honestly I have no idea. Like i already said earlier, i was taught this stuff in school

[copper gust]

It’s a culture thing, anyone before the newest generation just has a strong understanding of file systems ingrained into them. Apple stuff that hides it away has caused a gap in infomation

[viral hill]

Idk where you guys live but the US doesn't have stuff like this lmao. Half of the kids here can't even read at their proper grade level

[plain dagger]

thankfully other countries do have computers

[solid quiver]

we havent taught anything about files or anything, I know what they are and how they are supposed to like behave but i couldnt say that i really understand them like i understand why 2+2 is 4

[tawny quail]

back in highschool it was "do this typing race before class" and "get certified in all the Microsoft apps" I guess the one in college taught binary and some basic computer stuff, but not much past surface level that I already knew lmao.

[viral hill]

Think of computer files like a tree trunk with branches

[plain dagger]

pff

[storm patio]

i had computer literacy classes in late elementary and middle school

actually i did have computer classes at like, 1st grade in the US too

public schooling

so it definitely used to exist

[plain dagger]

They are named files and folders for a reason

[copper gust]

I had computer lessons as early as my second year period but im right before this kinda info gap happened i think

[exotic relic]

We still can’t expect people to know every bit of it. Much of this requires experience

[storm patio]

there is a base level of literacy that's.. maybe not expected per se, but assumed

[copper gust]

No we can

[storm patio]

if we assume every person that comes here has never touched a computer in their life, that would waste a ton of time

[plain dagger]

Its usually git thats confusing, not files on a computer

[copper gust]

This should be pre-requisite knowledge for game development

[storm patio]

it's ultimately up to the person asking to say that they don't understand something that was stated

[exotic relic]

I absolutely agree with that. But not everyone can get that. And not everyone knows what they need to know.
I’ve seen plenty of people here ages
8-13, I’m guessing you are a bit older than that. Simply be respectful & help them catch up

#🏃┃animation message help please

[exotic relic]

I know, but there’s still plenty who ignore that

[plain dagger]

ohh no too bad for them

[exotic relic]

You’ve been shaming people for not knowing information

[copper gust]

No one is being disrespectful.

At a certain point, not to come off gatekeepy but people might just be too inexperienced to use Unity period. There’s plenty people are happy to teach but fundamentally unity is built with certain required understandings of things that cannot be taught on discord

[solid quiver]

everyone was clueless at one point until they did enough research to become expert

[plain dagger]

I was offering my time to help them with a git problem but it turned out to be something else unrelated due to lacking core skills needed to use unity

[solid quiver]

i dont think so you were disrepectful at all, that just happens every time when you understand too much you forget how super basic things can be hard for someone who is new

[solid quiver]

isnt this unity discord?

[plain dagger]

yes, what are you implying?

[solid quiver]

i didnt understand the unity layout

i know how regular files on pc work like i have played with them with python

[storm patio]

i mean, unity files aren't really special?

they're just... regular files

[exotic relic]

How are they supposed to know that in a new editor

[solid quiver]

yeaa? but i didnt know that i have to open scene file and it's not automatically open in unity when you open your project

because that is how it has done so far until i shared the project

[exotic relic]

Correct, tons of people here have been scared when they open the editor and see a scene that says unknown. You are not alone

[balmy kettle]

sure, but when you were specifically asked if you had opened the scene file you said yes

[solid quiver]

yeaa I thought that I opened it, because it was in scenes, because I didnt know the unity structure until you told me that it's not the correct one

[storm patio]

files are all normal

it was in scenes
that would mean it exists. opening is an action

[plain dagger]

but unity shows you the name of the scene currently open and you showed us a screenshot with that too

[storm patio]

i feel like this is a case of assuming a new system is completely foreign and unfamiliar

unity files are normal files. you can open them the same way you would normal files, by double-clicking (inside unity's project window)

[solid quiver]

that wasnt the issue

[storm patio]

it was though. you didn't see anything because you didn't have the scene open

"unity structure" just isn't really a thing - it's all normal files

[stuck flower]

The files don't automatically get put somewhere, they go where you saved them to. It's not "Unity file structure" is "You file structure"

[solid quiver]

yea whatever have a nice day

[storm patio]

seriously, you're assuming it's harder / more complicated / more unfamiliar than it is

[exotic relic]

They aren’t going to know something until someone nicely explains

[storm patio]

this is something they already know, but aren't applying

they said themselves that they do know files - and that's what unity uses, it's not a different thing with different rules

[exotic relic]

Files are the reason you open the editor and the scene is empty after hard work?

Just be nice to people

[deft rock]

You see this sort of thing with beginners a lot.
They know a certain thing, but don't know that knowledge can be applied for the situation they're in.. and (possibly) if they're young, don't have the experience to think beyond that so seak help

[storm patio]

no, that's not what i said at all

they said they know files. they aren't applying that knowledge to the files in unity, because they wrongly assume that there are different rules.

[exotic relic]

Especially when many people have an overwhelmed brain from all of this. To us it only looks dumb because we already know better.

I am trying to attach mixamo animation on VR hands in unity but it is not working. What am I doing wrong?

[wide crescent]

hey guys, why does my unity doesn't work? it stuck this screen, also the editor window did appeared but it's just white
here's the Editor.log

[terse fog]

Why unity is best place to develop XR web apps, 3 or 5 reasons, for beginner to pro developer?

[stuck flower]

Is this homework

[sweet charm]

Idk, I just started with flappy bird

[tall hearth]

How long did you wait? And are you using a ssd or hdd?

[wide crescent]

about an hour and unity is on ssd, project on hdd

[tall hearth]

An hour is quite awhile, was reading the log (didnt see anything but just skimmed through) what happens if you move the project to ssd?

Hard drives are quite slow especially when building a project as it needs to create between 1-3GB of data and well that can take quite awhile for them

[wide crescent]

when i bought that ssd it worked for e few days then it gave error when booting pc so i had to take it back to the store and they fixed it but wiped all data, thats why i dont keep important stuff on ssd

[sweet charm]

I guess the game did stop time

[wide crescent]

ahahahha

[tall hearth]

Right the ssd breaking once doesnt mean every ssd on the planet is bad, also you could just keep a version control of it

[wide crescent]

yes, but im using the same ssd that was broken

and even tho i use git hub i still dont want to keep it on ssd

anyway what should i do now

it was working fine yesterday

[tall hearth]

Use the ssd or suffer with impossibly slow loading times

[tall hearth]

Ah well that adds some

[sweet charm]

If u work with the project on hdd, the chances are the total build time gonna be very long

[tall hearth]

Have you tried the simple restarting your pc?

[wide crescent]

yes

and deleting library folder

[tall hearth]

When was this? Library folders themselves can range from one to dozens of GBs in size

[wide crescent]

today, after i tried to run unity and saw what i just told

[tall hearth]

And how long have you waited for the editor to open after doing this?

Are you certain its built all the libraries that were deleted

[wide crescent]

no, i don't know how to find out did it or not

[wide crescent]

thats when i let it be loading for an hour

and right now it's opened for like 20 minutes

you can see in my profile

even that plugin managed to load

(that shows what am i doing in unity in discord)

when i asked chatgpt about that it said that project was loaded and it's just ui doesn't show up and there's indeed these lines
[Project] Loading completed in 234.780 seconds Scene opening time: 4.292 seconds

[tall hearth]

Right so what i mentioned from the beginning you are using a hdd it'll take hours to load especially if you delete GB of files and expect it to not need to rebuild them

[wide crescent]

so you mean it's lying that it loaded my project (and doesn't show ui for some reason)

[tall hearth]

No

[wide crescent]

wait it now shows different message on loading screen

what does that mean

[tall hearth]

Its loading

[small sentinel]

if you lowk add c sharp and the server tag ur gonna get sum interesting word

C#UNTY 💔

[wanton ibex]

idk if this is the right chat to ask this in

but is it worth joining indie.io? if anyone has experience with them

[wide crescent]

what

[safe garden]

hi, if you build primitives with probuilder do they typically have UVs? Guessing you can't just slap a tiling texture on

[rigid jetty]

hi guys any tutorial suggestion for doing locomotion movement?

[tawny quail]

Things like Probuilder and UModeler tend to have automatic world-based UVs. I haven't used Probuilder in a while but I remember there being a default tile material it used, or came with.

[wide crescent]

@tall hearthi made a new project on ssd and it doesn't load as well

[wise jay]

why is my trees pink on unity

[safe garden]

missing textures I think

[tall hearth]

You get
[Licensing::Client] Error: Code 10 while verifying Licensing Client signature (process Id: 2264, path: "C:/Program Files/Unity Hub/UnityLicensingClient_V1/Unity.Licensing.Client.exe")
[Licensing::Module] Error: LicensingClient has failed validation; ignoring
Are you logged in and connected to the inernet?

[wise jay]

how do i fix it

[tall hearth]

Pretty sure its wrong shader type

[tall hearth]

Could you share a photo of the material

Also you using hdrp, urp, or the basic?

[small sentinel]

C# and UNTY, its pretty self-explanatory

[wise jay]

urp

and im tryna add a tree

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error. Most likely cause is using a shader that is not compatible with your render pipeline

[wide crescent]

yes i am logged in and i'm using discord on this pc

so i am connected to the internet

[waxen nacelle]

Yo

[mighty osprey]

You might have to run the render pipeline converter if you were in standard rp before

Saves time from doing it manually

[gritty path]

Hi Is it possible to dilute animation keyframes in unity? I want the keyframes to .... -> . _ _ ..._

I mean ABC_D -> A_B_C_ _ D

No I mean 1101 -> 10100010

0 is empty frame

[inland river]

you can play the animation at a slower speed if thats what you mean

the keyframes are always interpolated, thats why they are keyframes, consequently you can "compress" similar keyframes on import. Or make a custom asset processor to reduce them in some specific way.

[gritty path]

Thanks!!!!!

[green seal]

hello guys anyone used unityhub with linux? i have big problem with making a new project, bc i cant and have these errors

[fallow sky]

I'm getting errors on my Unity Hub since updating this morning on Windows... not sure if there's an ongoing issue...

[balmy kettle]

presumably this backup didn't include the Library folder (which is normal, you shouldn't be backing that up because it's gigantic and also generated automatically), this means that Unity will need to reimport all packages and assets which can take a long time depending on the size of the assets/packages. basically you just need to be patient

[raw cloud]

Hey guys

What is the different between Fishnet pro and the free version?

[potent geyser]

Check the website/asset page?

There's no doubt a way to compare plans somewhere, go look.

[raw cloud]

ok

sorry for asking and wasting your time by reading my stupid question

[safe garden]

Hey guys maybe bit of a silly question but where would you guys start learning the fundamentals of unity, I'm talking barebones snapping objects, camera etc. The beginner stuff, I guess YouTube would be best

Haven't checked unity learn yet, just didn't want to go straight to tutorials as some can get a little advanced

[balmy kettle]

start with the pathways on the learn site rather than just searching for specific tutorials. the pathways cover things like how to use the editor and how to code in a structured way to help build your knowledge. start with unity essentials then junior programmer

[safe garden]

Thanks!!

[wise yacht]

is it possible to simuate a server and multiple clients on the same device for a unity automatic runtime test with NGO?

I know I can use stuff like ParrelSync for testing on multiple unity instances, but i mean the automatic tests. I've tried doing things like making multiple NetworkManagers and the issue is I need them to be treated separately and it just doesn't seem to work... but I also feel like Unity seems to lack on testing a bit here

One thing I could do supposedly is just test the server and client methods separately and break them down a bit more, but also that would mean having to make a bunch of my methods public for testing etc.

[lapis gate]

I'm still mad it's called ParrelSync

[muted wave]

would anyone like to help me with my unity im trying to make it fresh ?

[tawny quail]

Could spray some air freshener on it. What do you mean by "fresh"?

[dense reef]

@muted wave if it is stale you won't make it fresh you need to buy fresh one:)

[muted wave]

Im just having issue uploading avater
Models ?

[dense reef]

what kind of issue? probably you need to export bones correctly

[muted wave]

It’s always say blue ID print I’m sorry if I’m not giving out full detail

[dense reef]

do you have some kind of error? Can you copy full error message?

[wise yacht]

Lol

[stuck flower]

Is that English

[tough lantern]

I might be misunderstanding but I use Unity’s multiplayer play mode package to test, would that work for you?

[wise yacht]

I'll have a look - does it let me run the unity runtime tests for 2 instances?

[tough lantern]

Well idk what a runtime test is :3 but I have two instances running on the same devices, and the code runs fine if you connect them over the network

[dense reef]

you can build for your platform and use play mode so you will be able to run 2 instances

[tough lantern]

Yes that

[wise yacht]

I get that, but I want to do automatic tests (like unit tests) but at runtime. Unity provides a way to run its own "Unity runtime tests" but I can't get it working for testing networks reliably

As for manual testing i use parrelsync which i think is like the multiplayer play mode - it just runs 2 versions of unity on different windows

[tough lantern]

Oh… yeah I doubt it would fix the issue then

I assume you’re connecting the two instances before running the tests?

[dense reef]

@wise yacht if you build for windows for example you can run multiple windows on you PC

you can open as many windows as you want

[wise yacht]

Yes but that doesn't support automatic tests. Tests can't really run on multiple instances (cause how would you know the result of an action from one instance to another), but also unity doesn't compile any tests into a build anyways

[dense reef]

you can track what you want on your server

[wise yacht]

well I connect them before running manual tests, the issue with automatic ones is there is no way to run a test on more than 1 instance of unity

[wise yacht]

i suppose that could work, but i think that might end up having to extend out of the unity testing framework and into something customised specially for the game

[tough lantern]

Can’t you just send the test to the client with Rpc?

[dense reef]

for example in my game I use login system so I know what happens on concreate instance if I loggined in different account

[balmy kettle]

i think you guys are misunderstanding the point of unit tests. this isn't playtesting
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.test-framework@1.1/manual/index.html

[balmy kettle]

i'd recommend asking in #1390346492019212368 since that's where the folks who would be knowledgeable about networking related workflows are

[tough lantern]

I am assuming this is without hitting the play button, but I might be overestimating what can be done with automatic testing…

[wise yacht]

Thank you

[tough lantern]

Ok I’m not much help here I’ll let you figure it out ^^"

[dense reef]

I think there is no networking chenel anymore

[balmy kettle]

i literally just linked it

[dense reef]

try to go through the link in my discort it is in ARchive

[balmy kettle]

no it isn't

[dense reef]

discord bugs

[balmy kettle]

the channel i linked has never been in the archive. there is an old networking channel that has been archived, but it's name has also been changed to reflect that

[dense reef]

my bad I clicked on the link inside Answer on your post instead of link in original post and it wasn't working

[stoic cypress]

I made a grid from a tutorial but unlike his the grid is bigger than the game window. Is there a way to fix it? the grid doesn't move or scale. Can I make the game window bigger?

[near wigeon]

You can change the preview size of game window, sure

that has no effect on the final build though

[tough lantern]

Just check the camera settings are the same as the tutorial. maybe your camera size is smaller.

[mild radish]

or adjust ur camera settings so it'll work w/ your size grid..

[small glen]

does anyone know why the rigid body cubes aren't falling in this new scene ?

[tough lantern]

my only idea is maybe constraints

[small glen]

all unticked

I just made this new scene to test because I was having issues in my main scene

no clue what's happening

[tough lantern]

maybe gravity is set to 0?...

[small glen]

have the timescale set too

o wait

it was cause my simulation was set to script

[tough lantern]

ah ok good

[small glen]

yea that was a headache lmao

it should be in fixed update or update?

[tough lantern]

this is the physics section right? fixed update

[small glen]

thanks

[oak meadow]

For top down close range attacks is it a good idea to have the attack collider rotate around the player

I don't know if it takes too much "computational power" because I have a lot of ai's that will also use it but im not sure how others do it

[humble plinth]

Am looking for som,eone who can work with unity

[hushed hamlet]

It varies a lot between games, if its very large entities I would fake the physics

What template do i use for this game

Concept: A laser beam is fired from the source and we have to position the mirrors so that it meets the target.

[fleet canopy]

Universal 3D if you want an empty 3d game, (HD3D if you want to use higher quality and more specialised rendering stuff i think)

[exotic relic]

Built in RP or URP

It won’t matter, just be aware that using URP you will need to upgrade your materials

[lyric spade]

Its a 2d game

So do i go ahead with 2d built in render pipeline?

[exotic relic]

Yes

Note, 2D is the same thing as 3D in this engine, it’s simply the camera angle.

[tall hearth]

well that and what asset is installed on start-up

[lyric spade]

👍

[gray dirge]

• the 2d physics engine. Technically it’s all the same game engine though. You can mix elements from 2d and 3d all you want

[grim mason]

Hello, does anyone have a fix for the game window not playing focused? Play focused is selected, I have tried switching not focused and focused and playing maximized. I have reset the Unity window layout and even re installed Unity, nothing is fixing it.

[fleet canopy]

I think you have to click into the game panel

Where the game is being shown

[grim mason]

Yes normally, but it is not working at all in 2022 LTS for me, pretty frustrating

[fleet canopy]

not sure then, do you have any code that’s overriding the behaviour?

like a rogue menu checker

[gusty abyss]

Hey, I reinstalled my OS and wiped everything But now after installing UnityHub it is not able to open or create projects. Is it just me or are any other facing the same problem ?

[storm patio]

are you getting error messages or anything

kinda need more info

[gusty abyss]

I am not currently at my home 😅
I will send it in some time

[storm patio]

you should ask when you have access to more info lol

[gusty abyss]

Sorry 🙂

This was the error tho

[storm patio]

what was the operation

[gusty abyss]

Opening the project

[storm patio]

did you install an editor

[gusty abyss]

Yes I chose LTS

[sly lake]

Looks like there's a lock file present

[gusty abyss]

I tried to use ChatGPT to fix it but it didnt work

[gusty abyss]

Oh

I am on Ubuntu 25. … btw

[sly lake]

Delete library and temp folders

[gusty abyss]

Okay, I will try it out and let you know

Thank you 🙂

[surreal lion]

hey guys! anyone willing to check how noodle my code is and guide me in making it cleaner? im still new and learning so its not much ..

[safe garden]

Hey guys, I just want to get upto speed with terrain tools, just a few questions

• are there any good resources for learning these like a quick bootcamp?

• anything about blending textures between each other, i.e. Grass to sand, etc. Even with modern workflows would you use vertex color texture blending?

[stiff quest]

i kill unity in system monitor thats also work

[proper lion]

Help pls with LOD group

lod0 is still visible when lod1 appears.

[safe garden]

with terrain tools, set height, raise or lower, increase or decrease brush size, are there hotkeys for these? or a drop down so you can edit on the fly

[sly lake]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.terrain-tools@3.0/manual/brush-controls-shortcut-keys.html

[hushed hamlet]

Unity creates a small file called LOCKFILE when it has a project open. If that file is there itll stop an editor from opening.

Id start by rebooting (to make sure an editor isnt running in the background), then just checking if that file exists and deleting it.

If that same error happens creating new projects, that would be a first for me. And might need to post on Linux support on Discussions. Because maybe its where the files are being saved or some symlink thing

[safe garden]

thanks! one other q I'm curious about, efficiency - with unity terrain does it typically work optimally? I feel like being able to create sprawling amounts of terrain on the fly is awesome, but is it optimized, if there's tons of geo in the background?

[sly lake]

Is it optimized? No. Far from it. Geometry isn’t too bad. Out of the box there’s no foliage instancing so trees and grass use more draw calls than they should. Asset store can fix this

[safe garden]

ok so its probably better to keep terrain objects just to the maximum amount needed, don't be wasteful with it

[sly lake]

Other than that, it doesn’t stream its underlying textures and it uses a lot of high res textures. So with bigger terrains memory becomes an issue

[visual bane]

Yo! I have a project from school where we have to make a game using one input. So I was thinking about replicating inflating from little slime blows up. I analysed the video and some more videos about soft body and I got my player to inflate! But I got some problems:
1: When I inflate, sometimes the player just spins.
2: Inflating while moving the character also spins the player.
3: I'm not sure about whether using rb.AddForce(f, ForceMode2D.Impulse) or rb.AddForce(f, ForceMode2D.Force).
4. Should I calculate Vector2 dir = (rb.position - center).normalized or do something with the radius?

[storm patio]

for number 1 and 2, can't really help without more info. perhaps show code (and ask in one of the code channels.
for number 3, depends - is it a continuous force or a one-time force? Force is continuous, Impulse is one-time (and make sure they're in FixedUpdate)
for number 4, needs more context. what would you be using it for?

[visual bane]

here is my cpde that I did:
if (bJumpButtonPressed)
{
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
Rigidbody2D rb = circles[i].GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

            Vector2 dir = (rb.position - center).normalized;
            Vector2 f = dir * inflateForce;
            rb.AddForce(f, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
        }
    }

is there anything wrong?

[storm patio]

• what's the issue
• what's the context

[plain dagger]

Needing to get components each jump? Not great

[summer rose]

you could just restrain rotations if the physics causes spinning

[visual bane]

This is my script for the inflating. When you press space, bJumpButtonPressed is set to true and then this runs in fixed update. I do a for loop on all the circles and I get the position of the rigidbody on that circle - the center point of the player itself. Then I normalize it. That's my direction vector. It points outward from the center point. Then I multiply by a scalar and add it as a force.

[visual bane]

I can only restrain my Z axis (which I do)

[storm patio]

When you press space, bJumpButtonPressed
when held down?

if it's a one-time thing, it should be reset in that fixedupdate

[visual bane]

when held down

When you release space bJumpButtonPressed is set to false

[visual bane]

I'm doing this to all the circles, that's why I need to get component for each ricle to add force to them no?

[safe garden]

not sure if someone answered this already but is there a toggle wireframe on shaded mode? as in having everything fully visible but with wireframe showing?

[summer rose]

hmm, so it's spinning in y axis?

[visual bane]

not sure but maybe

Hold up. I'll freeze the Y axis

[summer rose]

it's a rigidbody2d right?

[visual bane]

YA

freezing the Y rotation messes up the inflation

[summer rose]

you have to screenshot the object hierarchy + components

[storm patio]

then it should be ForceMode2D.Force

[visual bane]

ok.

[storm patio]

there.. isn't a Y axis rotation for 2d rigidbodies

they can't rotate on Y

that doesn't exist in 2d

[visual bane]

right

But I tested that regardless

[storm patio]

what exactly did you test

[visual bane]

When you hold space bar, you should stay inflated. But the action of inflating is quick

[storm patio]

the thing you're claiming to test simply does not exist

[visual bane]

right.

But I did that anyways. Someone suggested it and you can allways revert back

[storm patio]

it is not physically possible to do so

what are you talking about

did you freeze the Y position?

[visual bane]

The Y rotation

but now I don't

and my player still spins

for some odd reason

[storm patio]

there isn't a Y rotation that you can freeze lmao

spinning in 2d is around Z

[visual bane]

Essantialy, when the game starts I spwn 10 circles in a circle patter. Each circle has a sprite renderer, rigid body 2d and spring joints.

Then I connect the spring joints

so we have a circle with springs

Then we need it to grow

[storm patio]

right, so you're applying forces from the center, that's pretty typical

[visual bane]

So When the player hits the space bar, I get the vector that faces outward from the center

then multiplying it with a number

That's the vector for the force

[wispy sentinel]

Where is this center / pivot option in newer unity versions?

I cannot find it for the life of me

[visual bane]

the red line is the vector * 10

[storm patio]

it's at the top left of the scene view

[storm patio]

ok so that would mean it's hidden

[wispy sentinel]

why :(

[storm patio]

i think it's grave (`) to show/hide stuff?

i don't remember

[storm patio]

just UI things about showing/hiding different menus

[wispy sentinel]

found it, you can right click the scene tab to open overlay menu

[visual bane]

@storm patio I'll open a form in #1390346827005431951

hi everybody
help please, my unity doesn't open, the loading screen just stuck this message (see the screenshot) and then i get a white window
i tried deleting library folder, opening an empty project, deleting packages cache
also here's editor log

[sly lake]

Try reinstalling the Unity Hub.

[wide crescent]

only unity hub or the editor too

[sly lake]

Only the hub.

[wide crescent]

ok, thanks

[gusty abyss]

I reinstalled Ubuntu 24.04.03 and then installed unityhub like how it said in the Unity's web page but the unity always spits out an error.

[tall hearth]

Have you reinstalled unity hub like they suggested? As it seems from the logs you cant sign in due to an incorrect authentication token

[gusty abyss]

Yeah, Bcoz of it I even reinstalled my OS and even created a new unity account but this still happens

[wide crescent]

it didn't help :(

[gusty abyss]

Could anyone possible help me 🙂

[wide crescent]

@sly lake can it not open because of this Security Alert?

[sly lake]

Nope

[tall hearth]

That wouldn't stop it no

[wide crescent]

anyway can reinstalling editor help?

[balmy kettle]

the non-patched security vulnerable editor versions can still be opened and used as normal. reinstalling won't change the fact that it's not been patched, you'd need to update to a version that has been patched (like the latest patch for that version)

[wide crescent]

so you're saying i have to update it?

to get rid of that alert

[balmy kettle]

if you want to use a version that doesn't have a security alert, then yes you need to download the latest patch version for 2022.3

[wide crescent]

can it break my project?

[balmy kettle]

it's unlikely to, but you should be using some sort of version control anyway so anything that does get "broken" can be reverted

[wide crescent]

i do

[balmy kettle]

then so long as you've made sure all of your changes have been committed you have nothing to fear because you can revert at any time

[gusty abyss]

Hey could anyone possible help me out please. I would really appreciate it

[wide crescent]

ok so ill try to reinstall it (but install a patched version) because i still don't know what else can i do

[woeful spear]

I can't figure out what "Move to View" option does in GameObject menu.

[lapis gate]

I assume it aligns your scene camera to the main

[wide crescent]

exactly what it says - moves object to the view

[lapis gate]

as it is

[woeful spear]

When I click it, the Cameras window (the one in bottom right corner of scene view) shows only skybox)

I see this after clicking it.

[wide crescent]

you click it for the camera?

[woeful spear]

Yes

Not sure I can or can't for cameras.

[wide crescent]

so its normal, the camera went to the center of scene view

as the object

you moved the camera

[strong fable]

who implemented these arrows? like literally why are they so skewed and random. how is that even possible?

[woeful spear]

I think I got it now. I tested with other objects. So it basically used to quickly move the objects to where you're currently viewing.

Maybe not needed for cameras much.

[wide crescent]

yes

[wide crescent]

try to click Align with View on your camera, maybe this will make the camera to look where you are looking in scene view (if you were trying to do this)

[woeful spear]

Yes I understand that option.

[torn mulch]

whats the easiest tool/software for making map to my game?

[vivid cedar]

How could anyone possibly answer this without knowing anything about your game?

[torn mulch]

small 3D top down

[vivid cedar]

Unity terrain? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wide crescent]

or ProBuilder

or Blender

i use second

[woeful spear]

I wonder if ProBuilder and Terrain tools are really needed to learn or one can entirely use Blender to make stuff like maps (hills, trees, rocks etc.). I'm about to start Unity's Prototyping tutorial soon. I already have some experience with Blender.

[plain dagger]

Unity Terrain is better for height based terrain due to dynamic detail adjustment, pre made splat tex painting and efficient grass rendering

If you did your own terrain meshes you would want many segments and some lods

[woeful spear]

For optimzation right? I guess it's called or related to "content streaming".

[plain dagger]

Yes, rendering optimisation

[woeful spear]

OK I'll learn Terrain tools also.

[plain dagger]

We dont want to render very detailed meshes that are far in the distance
Grass/plant details can be costly to render unless using gpu instancing

[woeful spear]

Yeah

[lapis gate]

Like most Unity tools, a lot of decent for prototyping, but usually if you do want to release an actual game you'll be digging through the asset store

The terrain does a lot for you, but it's not hard to set up something decent in blender and then chop it all up if you wanted to do it that way

[sly lake]

Meshes are probably a lot more performant

You could setup LODs and add mip streaming

Question is just how you're going to author seamless terrain like that.

[lapis gate]

I've been actually exporting Unity's terrain meshes into blender to clean it all up just because I do like the brushes, but you can actually get some decent terrain modules in blender's store too

or just use the sculpting tool ;p

[sly lake]

Probably want to do some kind of splatmapping though

[lapis gate]

Which is just texture painting and part of the terrain shader you need to make in unity

[storm sierra]

I am recently confused if I should go with the approach of using a UI for a constantly updating set of information or a gameobject. The idea is a book that you turn pages on with each page being unique

[vivid cedar]

This is really vague. Also usually UI is made of GameObjects.

[storm sierra]

The idea I am having is making the system for players to log in, and other basic things being a literal book. Meaning, you select each mode and the system opens the book, then a chapter etc. I want a cool visual effect

It is a bit vague because I am still deciding the details of this

[vivid cedar]

I think I would probably use UI components, render the UI to a RenderTexture, and use that texture on the animated book mesh renderer to make it look like a natural part of the page

[wide crescent]

what is happening

this line even goes on the second monitor

[slow dirge]

Your GPU is dying

Or just a driver issue.

[wide crescent]

how to know exactly

and what to do in both cases

[vivid cedar]

update your drivers

[slow dirge]

In the first case, buy a new gpu.

[wide crescent]

oh and also the second monitor is connected to motherboard, not to the gpu

[slow dirge]

I'd start with running unity without any games in the background.

[wide crescent]

but it shows that line too

[wide crescent]

i dont have any games opened

[slow dirge]

OK, then I guess it's just an animated wallpaper.

• update your drivers.
• update windows.
• try switching graphics api to dx11.
• try checking if you have gsync or something enabled.
• try with 1 monitor.
• try all kinds of thinks.

There's not much specific we can suggest just from that video.

[wide crescent]

i turned off wallpaper engine and now the line is more static, but stll it blinks when i type this

[slow dirge]

Could be something with hardware. Maybe not enough voltage, or poorly connected plug.
Anyways, it's all just guesses. You need to start trying stuff.

[wide crescent]

it started when i opened unity (now it works but now this problem appeared)

[mild radish]

def sounds like a hardware issue

[slow dirge]

It could be because unity is demanding in terms of resources. Or because of the graphics api.
Again, it's all just guesses.

[gritty path]

Hello. How do I convert a generic animation made in unity to a humanoid animation??

[storm patio]

perhaps ask #🏃┃animation

[bold yarrow]

So who wants to argue with me?
How would you shorten the name 😛

[storm patio]

what's static there for

is it actually like.. a non-moving camera?

that sounds wrong given that there's rotation in the name too

[bold yarrow]

There is an audioclip which is called cameraRotationSfx

This value is the general value when the sfx's volume is not 0

[storm patio]

so the volume can either be 0.3f or muted, is what you're saying?

[bold yarrow]

No the volume can be 0-1 but there is a shortcut for .3f which is the general value and I don't want a magic number for that

I kinda made this name up for humorous reasons

[storm patio]

it's kinda currently a magic number

consider making it a serialized field

(remove the static and maybe also the = 0.3f and then set it in the inspector)

[bold yarrow]

No because GameManager doesn't modify the volume itself

It's 5 more scripts that do, with the use of gamemanager

[storm patio]

i don't see how that invalidates what i said

yeah, but it's a singleton?

[wide crescent]

@slow dirgeok, fortunatelly driver update helped

[bold yarrow]

Well if I make it a serialized field, I must make it private as well, hence no permission for the other scripts to access it

[wide crescent]

thx for help

[bold yarrow]

I see what you mean though, and I should remove static

[storm patio]

I must make it private
no, not at all

serialized fields do not need to be private

[bold yarrow]

But then there is no point making it serializable

[storm patio]

being private was never the point of being serialized

the point of being serialized is so that it's modifyable in the editor and saved by unity

so you don't have to recompile every time you make a change

[bold yarrow]

Yeah thats true, but it was never my intention to change this variable thats why I made it static.

[storm patio]

that's not what static is for either

if it doesn't change, that's what readonly or a property with no public setter is for

unity serialized fields can't be readonly, so you could use the latter

[bold yarrow]

Sorry it was my bad. I made it static to be able to access it without getting a component

But there is a singleton so static was useless

[storm patio]

yeah that's part of my point

[storm patio]

so you might have something like this

[field: SerializeField] public float cameraRotationSfxVolume { get; private set; }

[bold yarrow]

Why the 'field' keyword?

[storm patio]

this makes it

• serialized, so you can edit it in unity
• public, so other scripts can access it
• have a private setter, so other scripts can't change it

[tall hearth]

Was about to say the same

[bold yarrow]

I think it makes a difference in the inspector but I'm not sure what

[storm patio]

unity serializes fields, but what i wrote above is a property, not a field.
the { get; set; } syntax is called an "auto-implemented property", which means it automatically makes a backing field (to actually store the value - the property itself is more like a pair of methods)

using field: in the attribute makes the attribute target the backing field instead of the property itself

[bold yarrow]

Yeah thanks, came here for a joke, left with some great advice

[bold yarrow]

So you're basically specifying that that 'this is a property but serialize it as a field and show it in the inspector so I can change it'

Sort of double functionality

[storm patio]

serialize it as a field
not quite, it's more like "serialize its field"

unity doesn't know/doesn't care about the property itself

[bold yarrow]

Yeah sure that clicks

[burnt onyx]

i've got a bunch of letters that disappear when the aspect ratio is too wide (but only in the game window)
i don't know why they do this

hlep

[lapis gate]

welcome to gridlayout

java solved this back in 95'

[bold yarrow]

Please stay away from the grid layout component. That was made by satan himself

Probably..

But there is a great video on how to use (or not to use) these components by gamedev guide

[lapis gate]

good alternative is mixing horizontal and vert containers

[bold yarrow]

Could be a bit old, but I'm sure there are a bunch of resources on this

[burnt onyx]

probably, unity ui scares me a bit

i'll have a look round ^^

[prisma marlin]

Hey

[storm patio]

hi, this isn't a social space https://nohello.net

if you have a question, feel free to ask

[viscid ether]

hey i tried to download assest but this error keep showing
[Package Manager Window] Error: Receiving data failed with unitytls error code 7
UnityEditor.PackageManager.UI.Internal.AssetStoreDownloadManager/DownloadDelegateHandler:OnDownloadProgress (string,string,ulong,ulong,int)

is any way to fix it or find other way to download assest as file like third party

[uncut ridge]

guys why the code dont accept instance

[vivid cedar]

looks like you defined instance twice.

Either that or just VS is bugging out

do you see this error in Unity too, or just in VS?

[uncut ridge]

its c++

unity c sharp

[vivid cedar]

This is not C++

[vivid cedar]

I mean, yes I assume it's unity code, that doesn't answer the question though

Do you see this error in the Unity console too, or just in VS?

[uncut ridge]

console too

[vivid cedar]

Ok then you defined instance twice

possibly you have a duplicate SoundManager script

[vivid cedar]

Yeah you have a duplicate script

notice that file is SoundManager1.cs

do you have a SoundManager.cs too?

[uncut ridge]

yea my fault

thnk

[pliant adder]

hello everyone im trying to collaborate on a game using version control with a collegue, but he is getting this error, i've given him owner of the project, invited him to the org and game him a seat, still the same error

[vivid cedar]

what did he do before seeing this error?

[pliant adder]

basically anything he does interacting with the version controls gives him this error, meaning check in creating a branch, but was able to download the project without issue from the cloud

[viscid ether]

[Package Manager Window] Error: Receiving data failed with unitytls error code 7

any help ? @here

[potent geyser]

First of all, don't ping user groups it's obnoxious.

Secondly, a quick google search seems to suggest that this is a connection issue which could be from any number of things such as using a VPN, or a router setting.

[viscid ether]

sorry

[tall hearth]

You guys have them enabled?

[potent geyser]

No, but it's still just a point to make since if they do it here, they do it elsewhere most likely.

[tall hearth]

Fair it is quite annoying to get pinged from random people for little to no reason

[glass kraken]

hi, do you guys know how I could make a simple image UI similar to this one :?

[storm patio]

you would have an image of paper as the background and then text laid out on top of it

the text would be constrained to the edges of the paper, probably with a vertical layout component, and maybe even a scroll rect component if you think you'll have a lot of text

[glass kraken]

yes, do you know what format size I'd need for that? and also if it'd be better to make it outside of unity with an appropriate tool such as paint or photoshop or unity with a paper image and text over? Sorry if the questions are dumb but I'm not a 2d artist

[storm patio]

what do you mean by "format size"

[glass kraken]

1920x1080

[storm patio]

you wouldn't make the entire letter as an image, just the background

[glass kraken]

yes, so it's better to make it in unity?

[storm patio]

that way you can easily edit the text, its font and size, the layout, and change languages

[glass kraken]

tyy

[tawny quail]

Fellow Outlast enjoyer 🥂

[tall hearth]

You may have the creases in the paper be an alpha sprite rendered on top so that the text doesnt look slapped on but yeah would recommend just doing it in unity

Whoops wrong reply

[knotty summit]

whats up

[uncut ridge]

guys i have a game the player have rb 2d but the player turns this when i walk forward and the player falls and turns this

want code?

[vivid cedar]

the falling is because you are allowing it to rotate freely

you need to constrain the rotation in the RIgidbody inspector

I'm not sure exactly what your second screenshot is showing

[uncut ridge]

where i need to change&

[uncut ridge]

freeze xy?

[vivid cedar]

no...

[uncut ridge]

or y

[vivid cedar]

the rotation

not the position

[uncut ridge]

ok changed

im testing

yea its fixed thnk u so much

[clear hearth]

Thanks for everything

[glass kraken]

🤣🤣 yes

[strong fable]

is there a way of adding motion on top of animations the way animation rigging constraints do it but while the constrained bones can still do their own thing? like multi-parent constraint overtakes the entire transform and doesnt allow any keyframed motion. I'd like this behavior to be additive not override

[shut cipher]

Me too I don't know where to create this kind of asset**(shader graph vfx asset)**.It seems not normal shader graph and also it not fit this slot.

[potent geyser]

You could look into using animation layers to layer animations on top of a base one.

[drowsy lintel]

Hi. I need some help. Is there anyone here who can take an apk that has been decrypted (I will provide it), and recreate the game in Unity, while fixing all errors (there’s a few 😔)?

[tall hearth]

we dont help with modding

[drowsy lintel]

It’s not really modding

I don’t wanna touch any file in the game, I just wanna fix all errors, and then I can let the game run in different platforms by making different builds

[balmy kettle]

it is against server rules to discuss topics related to decompilation and modding of projects that aren't your own.

learn how to use modding tools from the game's community

[drowsy lintel]

Oh… my bad 😭

Sry

[drowsy lintel]

I don’t wanna learn modding, just decompilation

[tall hearth]

yeah but we dont support that here

[storm patio]

external modding involves decompilation

that's a path you can take to get the skills you're after

[drowsy lintel]

I don’t want to modify anything. I just want to take the project and fix all errors

[drowsy lintel]

Ok mb

[storm patio]

and a modding community would be able to help with that. we can't

go find the modding community/tools for that game

[strong fable]

and for procedural stuff? I was fiddling around with some hit reactions by having a "2nd spine" for my character with fixed joints and bringing that motion to the real spine via multi-parent constraints. now this kills all keyframed motion on the spine. the only way I can think of on how to fix this would be to have an entire 2nd skeleton that is animated via keyframes which then applies all motion to the real skeleton via multi parent constraints so that I can add more source objects to each bones constraint. sounds very hacky tho...

[drowsy lintel]

Ok, thanks.

How do I find that community 😭

👍

[shut cipher]

It is the normal one and toggle the ''Support vfx graph''

Hi guys

[nocturne monolith]

Hi all!
Does anyone know if it possible to convert a 2D scene into a 3D one?
I am creating a 2D game and wish to use a 3D Model inside, however whenever I import, it seems to have no lighting and is just a solid grey.

[vivid cedar]

There is no such thing as a 2d or 3d scene

[plain dagger]

you can toggle 2d view in the scene view at any time
then just modify the skybox, camera and lighting to make it "3d"

[vivid cedar]

it seems to have no lighting and is just a solid grey.
Sounds like you don't have a material and also you probably don't have a 3d light in the scene

[plain dagger]

(secret : its always 3d!)

[nocturne monolith]

what material do I need to use for it?
how do I need to setup the 3d light?

(sorry if these are beginner questions I haven't really used 3D stuff before)

[vivid cedar]

what material do I need to use for it?
Whatever material you want
how do I need to setup the 3d light?
However you want to set it up.

These are art design choices

[plain dagger]

You can start with a unity 3d cube and a directional light to see a 3d object with lighting

all in the hierachy create menu

[nocturne monolith]

I've imported both but my cube doesn't seem to be affected by lighting
Am I still missing / forgetting something?

[viral hill]

what shader is on the material

[plain dagger]

click the cube, what material does it have?

[nocturne monolith]

Universal Render Pipeline/Lit

[plain dagger]

are you using the 2d renderer?

[nocturne monolith]

how can I tell?

[viral hill]

what template did you use to make the project

[nocturne monolith]

iirc it was 2d project

[plain dagger]

player settings > graphics > render pipeline asset

[viral hill]

then yeah

[nocturne monolith]

yeah it says I'm using 2d URP

do I need to import a 3d one?

[exotic relic]

Give it a try

[nocturne monolith]

alright thank ya

[plain dagger]

You need to make a "URP Universal Renderer" asset, assign it in your main urp asset and set this as the default

then lighting will work

[nocturne monolith]

yeah that was it

Thanks y'all for the support !

[opaque tree]

Can anyone explain to me how i can edit an animation in a prefab?

[sleek forum]

open the prefab find the gameobject with animator and open animation screen and edit through there

[opaque tree]

its not letting me edit it once i get in there. the bits wont highlight

[sleek forum]

drag the prefab into the scene unpack it

[glacial shuttle]

FINALLY

[sleek forum]

edit it through there and then make it a prefab again

yw

[supple heron]

Congratulations!

[glacial shuttle]

Thanks!!

I'll probably make a wishlist page in a month or so

For my game

[sleek forum]

someone help me #💻┃code-beginner

[supple heron]

Just a small note - remember your page has to be live at least for 2 weeks before your release date. I recently learnt that the hard way. :D

[glacial shuttle]

Haha thanks a lot

Will keep in mind

[serene basin]

guys does visual studio 2026 work well with unity 6.1

[tall hearth]

Curious why youd want to release your game so soon after making the page

Aint that a bad idea as youd have a smaller amount of wishlists?

[supple heron]

I didn't plan to release the game commercially, (so no marketing, no page etc.) but when it was almost ready I realized I like it enough to put it on steam. While it will not beat Steam algorithm and definitely it won't be a massive success in terms of finances, I wanted to go through the process to see how it looks like. Next time I will definitely do it differently and create the page much earlier :)

[tall hearth]

Ah valid answer

[junior path]

this is a nice render I made recently. This is however probably not going to lead anywhere

[thin rose]

hi, is there any unity courses to make game like Schedule I on steam

[lapis gate]

what's that

[inland river]

no

You only learn making an actual game by making actual games.

author of schedule 1 has done a lot of Roblox games and transferred that understanding of what works in design to make a better, more opulent version with unity, incrementally and iteratively

The template of S1 is to fix all the mistakes that other games with similar themes have made. That stuff is not discussed in courses/tutorials

[thin rose]

yeah, but i want to learn the simulation concept like crafting something, user avatar, and multiplayer system. is there any courses that provided that

[inland river]

Courses can teach you some basics in all these areas. They are easily found via Google/yt

[dense reef]

If you know nothing about Unity you will spend years to create something similar to Schedule

[lapis gate]

multiplayer stuff is especially challenging. Do some single player crafting game first and get some save/load system going

[inland river]

It’s also a 1 in 10000-100000 success.

[chilly blade]

I mean this in the nicest way but schedule 1 wouldnt take that long. maybe a year for someone complete new

[lapis gate]

doesnt seem anything crazy from the looks at it. Only the multiplayer aspect

[inland river]

You have almost zero chance of finding a shortcut to a ‚similar‘ game. You can however make an irrelevant copy of it quite easily once you know unity well.

[inland river]

Making a copy is not the same as making the original

[viral hill]

how is this possible

[lapis gate]

im actually trying to find the appeal to this game if someone can point me to it

[chilly blade]

Just a unnamed object?

[thin rose]

okay, thanks for the insight guys

[viral hill]

yeah how

[chilly blade]

unity Ui bugged

[tough lantern]

Just spend time making smaller games, trying new things, and you’ll naturally learn Unity as you go (but start with lessons and stuff ofc) and then later look at your skill set and resources and figure out what you actually wanna make from there.

[inland river]

Really fun (coop) gameplay, well made, one guy against society

[dense reef]

@chilly blade I watched its trailer and it looks like RPG with good levels design, if it also have multiplayer 2 years is very optimistic requirement for one man to create something similar

[viral hill]

1 year???

no way in hell

[chilly blade]

I have seen people start messing with unity, 6 months in they had a basic uderstanding of the lay out and within 3 months with photon had a fictional multiplayer game, mind you not everyone can but it CAN be done

[inland river]

Absolutely not possible.

[dense reef]

Looks like you never create a game @chilly blade

[viral hill]

maybe if you have extensive prior programming capabilities and game design experience

[chilly blade]

Only 8 years on so far. Mainly working on physics and editor exstensions.

[inland river]

way too much goes into making a game . Getting some random feature up is not the same as integration of 20 features into a fun & appealing experience without bugs

[lapis gate]

really game just looks all mechanics. You can skip the whole shading part that will save you a year ;p

[dense reef]

did you create fully functional game and published it on any platform in solo?

[viral hill]

yeah you're just talking out of your ass at this point

[chilly blade]

Hahaha. Okay bud, i dont need to prove anything to you. Im 30 and could care less what someone ina discord thinks

[lapis gate]

I think the hardest part would be a GDD and sticking to it

[inland river]

It is a systems based game alright

[dense reef]

don't give advice about estimation if you never solo developed a game from start to release

[chilly blade]

Something tells me your profiler is screaming from loops and miss used code.

[lapis gate]

It's always easier to develop when you've a clear idea on what needs to be done from the start, but as you start adding features as you go along is the problem

[viral hill]

something tells me you're projecting hard 😆

[pliant crane]

guys does anybody here have quad remesher on blender?

[chilly blade]

Ope he got me!

[lapis gate]

Quadriflow? It's standardnow with blender

[pliant crane]

is it free?

[lapis gate]

It was awlays free, but it was a plugin. Now it's included with each version

unless we're talking about another plugin, but what's there does magic as is

[mystic abyss]

GameObjects can be unnamed

[viral hill]

no they cant

you have a name be composed of empty spaces, but it cant be nothing

this case is a bug

[chilly blade]

You have come a long way in 3 years.
