anyways, version control and save often.

[proud lion]

How do I save

[storm patio]

ctrl+s, like you do in every other computer program ever

[proud lion]

Ok

[storm patio]

or even right click -> save, or menu bar -> file -> save

these are universal things

hi I want to ask if anyone has experienced a bug about this INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_D3D12Core.dll!CLayeredObject_CBackingCommandAllocator_::CContainedObject::QueryInterface

[storm patio]

did you get an error message

[primal osprey]

no error message in console

[storm patio]

where'd you get this, exactly?

[primal osprey]

crash dmp file

[storm patio]

unity editor crashing, or a build crashing?

[primal osprey]

editor sir

[mild grove]

Hey! Unity 6 doesn't support Visual Studio 2026 for PC Builds yet?

[storm patio]

perhaps check logs

what the heck does this mean??

is it just a feedback thing ?

[viral hill]

Just a feedback thing

Not sure why they send the data to Meta though

[sonic ferry]

well its for a meta vr game so probs that

[viral hill]

Ah ok

[sonic ferry]

ill share, prob doesnt matter but just in case 😅

[brazen oasis]

i thought i found the channel but wheres the collab channel????

my dumbass got warned because i thought i was in the right channel 😔

[storm patio]

there is no collab channel. it's a separate website

you can find it in #📖┃code-of-conduct

[safe garden]

n00b q - is there a way to reset transforms so you if you scaled an object it will reset the axis to world origin, rather than scaling at angle?

EDIT: If I set transformation from center to global, it will work for move/rotate, but scale remains based on an angle if I have rotated the object, I just want to reset the scale axes to default

[pearl oyster]

Scaling is always local so global scaling wouldn't really work

[safe garden]

one other q - is there a reliable way to find meshes that might be under or hidden by other meshes, i.e. if you have grass duplicates that might be under a rock, anyway to find objects hidden under others?

[lapis gate]

search for it in the scene search bar

well, to highlight stuff under other objects, but figuring out meshes that are on top of each other (exactly duplicated) I don't believe there's any utility for that

[robust spire]

trying to create Ragdoll in Unity 6.0 version and my character humanoid mesh is from mixamo and i have no idea how do i setup.

[supple heron]

Hey, I have a very unspecific quesiton. I created a game (you can see it in dev lgos HWTC) and it crashes for some players. It crashes in completely random moments - from pressing a button in the menu up to some minutes after playing in the main scene. None of my friends and play testers have experienced it, however when I installed the game on my father's computer it happened.

The crash not only closed his game but completely restarted his computer. The logs do not show anything that could cause it. What should I check? Any ideas?

The game is pretty simple - from extra assets it uses DOTween and Text Animator. It also uses Navmesh and Splines.

Could that be related to me building the game on Windows 11 and them using Windows 10? Or may it be Directx version incompatibility?

[alpine hearth]

I'm using a piskel to create 2d character but when I create the sprite sheet the character becomes really blurry. Any suggestions?

[primal osprey]

i change render setting to directx11 no crash, i think unity 6.2 still have crash issue with directx12

[supple heron]

Amazing, thank you so much! I will check that out!

[storm patio]

for pixelart, always use:

• filter: point
• compression: none
  and an appropriate ppu

[storm patio]

completely restarted his computer.
with a bluescreen, or how exactly?

[supple heron]

Nope, no blue screen - just a restart

[storm patio]

does the game crash first and then restart, or does it just restart directly

[supple heron]

It restarts directly.

[storm patio]

terrifying
-# i wouldn't be able to answer, just thought this would be useful info to someone who can

[supple heron]

I have this log, but I don't see there anything that could cause crash.

The DOTween issue is already fixed and it's not what caused it unfortuantely

FYI: I just went through some posts in different places and it in deed looks like problem with DirectX12! Thank you for help! :)

[safe garden]

can you link a mesh's material to a duplicate of it with no material apply? i.e. one rock with material applied, grab 8 of its duplicates that have no material, just select them, select original rock and 'copy to selected', kinda like Blender

[strong fable]

is it valid to call destroy on an object and then still use it during the same frame?

[storm patio]

yes, Destroy will actually do the destruction at the end of the frame

Actual object destruction is always delayed until after the current Update loop, but always happens before rendering.

[slow dirge]

I'd still avoid using it after calling destroy. Sounds like a good way to get yourself a memory leak of the managed shell.

[tight walrus]

can someone tell me what is a good assests for road if they know.

[summer rose]

you mean in the asset store?

[tight walrus]

yes

[summer rose]

why not search there? look at the reviews

[potent bay]

Hey guys, have you tried playing immortal Conquer?

[tight walrus]

I only found Easy3D Roads

[vivid imp]

I just found something weird: When I changed Shaders of a Material, Unitys VCS does not pick it up as changes?

[limpid pivot]

I wanted to ask something more like guidance
I found a neat asset that took me 2 weeks to understand the basics of how it is done but not enough to modify something I found really cool

I tried to learn more about the codes this project has

Part of the code includes two things I found curious to learn better

A .shader file that extracts the top view with a black and white texture(like a height map, mountain top white and base being black)

The other is a bunch of

CommandBuffer cmd
cmd.SetviewProjectionMatrices
cmd.SetRenderTarget
cmd.ClearRenderTarget
cmd.Clear()

//repeat

context.ExecuteCommandBuffer(cmd)

then calling A computer shader to handle GPU Math.
Would anyone know of an easy project that uses command buffers that I can try creating to learn how it feels using them?

[fierce shuttle]

which channel can I discuss crash logs in?

[sly lake]

Here is fine

[fierce shuttle]

I'm struggling to determine the cause of this crash. Doesn't seem to be anything code related

looks like something on the graphical side

the guy playing did say their laptop was on the weaker side

[sly lake]

The crash reason is not in the logs, because Unity doesn't notice the DXGI device is removed until the next call (which is creating a buffer in this case, but it's already crashed).

Ask the user to update their graphics drivers, they're quite outdated.

[fierce shuttle]

can you update graphics drivers for intel integrated graphics like that? I didn't know lol

[sly lake]

Yep, and seems like they never did. That driver is as old as the GPU is

[fierce shuttle]

yikes 😭 I'll let them know, thank you for your analysis!

[sly lake]

Side note, Unity 6.2 might not be entirely stable.

[fierce shuttle]

you think so? I'm trying to keep on the recommended version

[sly lake]

6.3 LTS should be out soon, it'll get fixed over time.

Would advice sticking to the LTS when shipping

[fierce shuttle]

I see, thank yoy

6.1 is LTS rn right?

[sly lake]

6.0 is the current LTS, but 6.3 is out any moment now

[fierce shuttle]

I'll just wait for that then

what's the main new feature set for 6.3? if any

[sly lake]

I like the new platform toolkit.

What they say:

Platform Toolkit - simplifies multi-platform deployment with a single workflow that integrates SDKs, automates certification checks, and reduces time-to-launch across devices.

The cert checks are mostly useful for console, but they also provide a common API for things like achievements

[fierce shuttle]

oh nice

[radiant bolt]

The Unity Hub is stuck on this screen all of a sudden, and none of the buttons actually do anything.

Checking the log, it's unable to establish a connection to the licensing client.

[safe garden]

to the more experienced environment artists here, quick q - if you have 2 material transitions, say grass going into a ramp for a harbour or stone bridge for example, what is the best way to break these up so you don't have such a harsh transition? i.e. grass straight into stone, can be a bit jarring

[restive badge]

I have Visual Studio selected as my external script editor and it mostly works but the Photon class/namespace does not load automatically. I have to press "Load all Projects" to stop it from erroring and give me the syntax. Does anyone know how to solve this? I have tried re-generating the project files and it works on a buddy's computer that has the same project.

[sly lake]

Can you show?

[safe garden]

stuff like this where you can see a distinctive line between the ground and asset, I can always try cover up some of the line with assets like rocks etc. but you're supposed to be able to walk up it as well

[sly lake]

I just don't deal with this at all
Some people use shaders like this, when working with terrain:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-terrain-blending-97364

[safe garden]

yea I may have to look at a custom shader, ideally one that is blending terrain with toon aesthetic - unfortunately I'm a complete n00b when it comes to shader work so I would have to try learn as I go, but I will take a look on store ty

[dense crescent]

hi guys, my friend and I have decided to give unity a go to make a mobile game as a challenge, we are trying to set up version control but having problems with getting it set up does anyone know the best place to find help on this i seem to be going around in circles! I greatly appreciate any help

[safe garden]

what repo software are you using, sourcetree, fork etc?

[dense crescent]

we're just using the unity version control on the editor in the unity cloud dev ops it shows* the repo but im honestly not sure, sorry im a complete noob haha!

[lapis gate]

you want to use world uvs then, or the more expanded shader called triplanar

[dense crescent]

we can both check in and update workspace but its not including changes to the ui(possibly other stuff) in the hierarchy

[safe garden]

I can't fully advise on this as someone else on our team handles it, but I heard diversion is good

[dense crescent]

ahh i see, ill look into that thanks

[safe garden]

Diversion or Fork is what I've used recently

[ocean pumice]

Did you check, if you have like local scene overrides to your UI? With UI you mean the canvas system of unity?

[dense crescent]

how do i check that? yes sorry i mean the canvas

[ocean pumice]

Is your canvas a prefab?

[dense crescent]

its not, should it be?

[ocean pumice]

No no, but that could have been an indicator. So if you make changes and commit your scene file, its not updating the canvas in the scene?

[alpine hearth]

where is the best place to make 2d characters

[ocean pumice]

A cosy office can help

[willow ermine]

The speedtree10 discussions section could benefit from attention... this year preferably, its a wall of zero responses and unresolved. Some offical clarity on this would be appreciated, especially since its a paid for product with currently no customer support it seems.

[dense crescent]

yeah so if i make a change inside the canvas then check in my friend then updates workspace but it doesnt show the ui changes

[ocean pumice]

And you are sure, you are both in the same .scene file and updating it correctly?

[dense crescent]

we only just started it there is only one scene currently about updating it correctly im not 100% sure to be honest

[ruby coyote]

Hello guys, I have a question in regards to creating an in game VOD review for a battle royale I am trying to make. I am speaking as to similar functionality as the Marvel Rivals history logs where you are able to review past footage of games that way I can create a good enough foundation to implement this later with other people I can have help with my game.

[viral hill]

ok ask a question

[rancid lake]

Hey guys, I come from unreal where all blueprints (prefabs) open in their own windows, so you can easily edit multiple things at once

How do you get around having to jump back and fourth into different prefabs?

Especially in UI that tends to have TONS of nested prefab windows/buttons/etc?

[storm patio]

aren't blueprints in unreal just scripts in unity

[rancid lake]

No they're essentially prefabs

but when you open it, it opens in it's own dedicated editor

Kind of like the unity shader graph

while prefabs all just replace each other in the editor 😐

[storm patio]

you can edit prefabs in context iirc, to not quite replace, more like focus

another option is just to edit it in the context and then apply the relevant changes to the prefab afterwards

[rancid lake]

Right but then you're working in a giant hierarchy, and not just in that prefab right?

[storm patio]

well, if you have nested prefabs, you could open one of the inner ones to not have a massive hierarchy, no?

but yeah the second option doesn't work directly in the prefab

[rancid lake]

Yeah, problem is if I open this UpgradeButton0 in it's prefab

then poof the menu is gone lol

gotta go back and open it all, then back into the button, etc

lots of back and fourth

[storm patio]

right, you'd be working inside UpgradeButton0

[storm patio]

wdym by this?

when you exit prefab mode?

i don't recall having this issue. have you tried locking the hierarchy?

[rancid lake]

Yeah like you're constantly going into and out of prefabs

instead of just opening them in new windows

In that case, is there any optimal way to handle large UI?

Should each window be it's own prefab that's loaded at runtime?

[storm patio]

i mean, that is what i do too

[rancid lake]

Or all put in the same menu and just enabled/disabled

[storm patio]

composing smaller elements into cohesive menus

[rancid lake]

Do you load them at runtime or have them all sitting in the bigger menu?

[storm patio]

yeah i don't seem to have this issue

[ocean pumice]

You know, that you have prefab modes, that still show the context of your prefab inside another nested prefab/scene?

[rancid lake]

Yeah I know, to me it feels like a web browser that can only have 1 tab, so you're constantly going back and fourth between all your websites

[storm patio]

exiting out of the prefab returns to the hierarchy as it was, with the same object selected

[rancid lake]

instead of having them open on different tabs

just trying to get into the right mindset on how to use that properly

So just wondering if it's smarter to keep menu items seperate and load them in at runtime for simplicity

or have em all in 1 giant menu prefab

[ocean pumice]

If you have to create a prefab for every button right now, you might wanna think about not doing prefabs but assigning the values via code. I usually separate the prefabs for UI by their function. So in game language PauseMenu, MainManu and so on. And inside those prefabs, you could handle sub context like Settings or what not. Form there I am usually using button prefabs for different types of buttons but the context and their usage is being directed by a script, where I extended the UI.Button from Unity to achieve this

[rancid lake]

Yup I'm doing all this

Specifically just wondering about the editor itself

I find my eyes glazing over when looking at this massive UI hierarchy of nested objects lol

[ocean pumice]

Just imagine you want to change stuff on the settings menu, while someone else would work on the main menu. having only one prefab would kill the collaboration. So I am usually having one UIManager loading and unloading all menu prefabs.

[rancid lake]

Ah okay, so you load em at runtime right?

Don't have them sitting in your UI manager inactive?

[ocean pumice]

yes, 100%, otherwise it will just get too cluttered up for more complex things.

[rancid lake]

Perfect that's what I was looking for

[ocean pumice]

Nope, they get loaded once and then they are referenced. But not having them in my core prefab just from the start cleans up things a lot

[storm patio]

i have them all in the scene, just not active

[rancid lake]

Yeah for sure

I still think it's a shame they all share the same stage

[storm patio]

im still not sure what you were referring to with this. this isn't a thing that happens as far as i know

[ocean pumice]

My setup is a bit too complex to keep everything in, that I might not need. But thats jsut my projects which are not game based most of the time

[rancid lake]

Yeah I made a game in unity and then moved to unreal engine, vowing to never return to unity again, specifically because of that lol

[storm patio]

i don't see how it's an issue tbh

[rancid lake]

I'll pop open unreal and show ya what I mean

Just one of those really nice quality of life things

That you come to miss when it's gone

[ocean pumice]

One potential issue I would see here is the settings prefab, that does not have the menu applied to it. So if I were to get into your project and wanna use the settings prefab, id had at least one extra setp/question to understand the setup of your scene.

[storm patio]

settings isn't a prefab, it's a prefab instance

[ocean pumice]

How does that relate to my issue I pointed out?

[rancid lake]

Every 'prefab' opens in it's own editor window

So you can tab em together, put em on your other screen, keep all relevant prefabs open and edit/save em all really quick

[ocean pumice]

Well, it is what it is.

[rancid lake]

you never need to exit any to change another

Yeah, just something to get used to 😄

[storm patio]

i don't see what issue you're trying to point out

[uncut light]

[storm patio]

i don't have a settings prefab. it's just an instance of the overlay menu prefab

that's why it has overrides

there's only one settings menu, it's in a scene that is never unloaded

[ocean pumice]

alrighty, I am not here to prove anything. If you dont see the issue of collaboration, thats cool. Was just my 5 cents about prefabs can be an issue

[storm patio]

there's no settings prefab to reuse, it's just the settings gameobject, is what im saying

@rancid lake please do also note that we'd prefer to provide help here if it's related to unity. community servers exist for a reason

[rancid lake]

I thought my question was related to unity?

[storm patio]

im referring to whatever riishiiikaaa was talking about

[rancid lake]

Ooh I see 🙂

Btw any useful unity usability plugins you use?

[ocean pumice]

In short, there is no other way yet for you to open a second editor for that project. Opening multiple scene views does also not help, as they share teh same prefab scope.

[rancid lake]

Yeah for sure

[storm patio]

i don't use any, personally, though i have seen some that seem useful (i just haven't gotten around to looking into installing them lol)

[rancid lake]

I found vHierarchy, vInspector, etc lets you bookmark prefabs

which is nice to swap between em quickly

[ocean pumice]

Not using any either. If I need something specific, Ill code it most of the time, to avoid 3rd party reliance and missing updates from those 😄

[rancid lake]

bro
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/hot-reload-edit-code-without-compiling-254358

This is on sale

imo it should be standard in the editor

[storm patio]

doesn't it have some.. issues

[rancid lake]

If you dont have any, get this -- reloading in-game is a life changer lol

[storm patio]

mightve been a different one

[rancid lake]

Yeah there's a cheaper one that's a total mess lol

[storm patio]

under the same/similar name?

[rancid lake]

This one is pretty tight, though sometimes is
does still need a full script reload, can't get around it

[rancid lake]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/package/239351
Yeah this one is pretty messy/broken

[storm patio]

that would explain it

[ocean pumice]

That sounds promising. Will look into it.

[rancid lake]

Yeah, I think it needs a full reload for changing public vars (anything inspector related), but gameplay logic you can code an entire boss fight or something while the game is running, pretty nutty.

[ocean pumice]

I can see the benefit in stuff, that is being loaded dynamically fetched by external services for multiplayer positioning and what not. Ill look into it when i get time 🙂

[mellow hill]

Yo I have no clue how to code🔥🔥

[tall hearth]

Compiling aint that bad, unless you are mid testing and your game is filled with stuff like dictionaries

[ocean pumice]

and it forces you to think about your code more while waiting 😄

[storm patio]

there are beginner resources pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[tall hearth]

I love saving waiting then right when it finishes i go wait no i gotta change this and then wait another ~20 seconds

[rancid lake]

The killer is stopping the entire play session to fix/change something and then having to get back to that same spot, like mid-boss fight

eventually all those seconds add up 😛

[ocean pumice]

exactly 😄

[rancid lake]

but to be fair compiling is a good way to catch up on youtubes hehe

[ocean pumice]

I usually try to build test scenarios for specific features instead of playing the entire game/app loop again.

[tall hearth]

How long of a compile time you got?

[rancid lake]

lol, the dreaded "changed one thing while it was compiling so now it has to compile again right after"

[rancid lake]

I'm talking about something like the second stage of a boss fight, having to add a bunch of debug stuff to trigger it, wait for the correct attack to test it, close the playmode to compile, start, run your debugs to get to stage 2, wait for the boss to use that attack to see how it looks now

now if you're making 50 1-line changes, that really adds up

[ocean pumice]

Why not create a method that runs that attack directly?

[rancid lake]

Just a lot of overhead, I'm not trying to argue anything, it's just nice to have mid-game editing. 🙂

Can easily do without if not needed 🙂

[ocean pumice]

true true, if you could just change everything on the go, that would be awesome. I am just scared of the states that might get messed up by those scripts. But not gonna argue against it before I tested it 🙂

[nova saddle]

what game are you creating?

[hexed path]

any thoughts on why calling Move on a CharacterController would zoom up a ramp or a hill? I'm zero-ing the y-component that I'm passing into Move.

[dusky forum]

What do you mean by zoom up?

[hexed path]

the movement just accelerates a lot faster than on a flat plane.

[rancid lake]

prob just looks that way

horizontal movement is constant, but should slow down up a ramp

[hexed path]

Classic Pareto principle killing me here... I'm 80% there and it feels so close, but the last 20% is going to take a loooong time.

[unborn gazelle]

I have a jump animation that consists of 4 frames for different jump positions. What should I use in the animator to hook 4 of them together to make it work ?

[storm patio]

depends on what exactly you mean by "different jump positions" i guess, but blend trees or just separate states could work

[unborn gazelle]

Actually the entire jump is divided into 4 frames ( 4 different animation clips ), each frame is a loop of one single jump pose ( like jumping up , then in mid air , and last is falling down)

[storm patio]

i think you have the wrong idea of what "frame" means

or, i might be misunderstanding you

could you just show what the 4 animation clips are

I think I need to quit trying this and driving myself insane, this way is not working

[worldly cave]

what are you getting stuck at

[woeful torrent]

I just get really nerve rattled and too distressed from my past failed attempts to make a game that I think trying again is gonna end up the same

I'm trying the junior programmer pathway learning

[worldly cave]

question

do you have any previous programming experience?

any at all?

[stuck flower]

Instead of coming here to post your minute-by-minute progress, you could just go through the tutorials again

You don't have to do it in one go

[woeful torrent]

Yes

[woeful torrent]

I was doing tutorials and its exhausting

[storm patio]

perhaps try different ones

[stuck flower]

then come back later

[storm patio]

don't the beginner paths kind of assume absolute beginner?

part of the exhaustion might be going through stuff you already know

you can just skip those parts

there's no need to go through the entire thing if it's not going to give you more understanding

[brave ridge]

then take a break. learning takes time and there isn't an alternative. If this is what you want to do, find a way to do it without burning out

[woeful torrent]

I haven't learned in so long, that's what's killing me. Makes me think I can't learn anymore, well maybe after a certain age

[storm patio]

well, that's definitely not true

Taking notes, doing projects, watching tutorials...

Sometimes u have to learn how to learn

[tall hearth]

Can agree, i've learnt that i cant learn from reading i just cant focus but if im explained it (ie a teacher), or i write it down i will hardly forget it

[woeful torrent]

Idk how it's not true I feel like I havent learned to do anything news since pre covid

[brave ridge]

if it's something you enjoy and have the time to learn, then nothings stopping you. If you just aren't enjoying it, or nothings sticking after weeks of real effort, then maybe you'd need a reality check and reconsider this hobby.
I'm all for "you can do anything!" but thats often not reality

[woeful torrent]

I keep dropping Unity but something keeps dragging me back in idk why

It's the allure of doing it ig

[brave ridge]

making a game is not easy to jump into. there's a reason people spend years learning to code and still suck ass at it

[woeful torrent]

In school I remember almost never having to study, it just all came to me

[storm patio]

you might be pressuring yourself to understand everything the first time as you mightve done previously

but that won't always happen

Half of it's me traumatizing myself just using the program lol

There's other aspects of designing a game I know. But without the code all you gots assets and design documents no?

[brave ridge]

without the code, you basically just have an idea

[woeful torrent]

I figured long ago nobody's gonna want to read design docs and look at pictures, they wanna see a moving game

[storm patio]

yeah, you'll have to learn it eventually if you want to make something

[woeful torrent]

I don't think I can learn this on my own after all this time, I just need to drop it and pick up something else

[brave ridge]

i suggest starting with c# alone if the code is the big bad scary thing stopping you. there's tons of resources out there and websites with problems you can solve to at least get some dopamine back. Flailing around not understanding the unity api while not knowing how to write c# is like a double whammy

c# outside unity could be your indicator if you should jump into programming for a game at all. it'll be a much quicker learning cycle too

[blissful hemlock]

good morning!

[storm patio]

hi, this isn't a social space https://nohello.net
if you have a question, please just lead with that

[blissful hemlock]

so i have an question about making interactive grass?.. how does it work? does it uses vertex to detect?

and whats the best way to do so?

[storm patio]

hm, sounds like something you could google, to start

[blissful hemlock]

i see then ima turn to google , thx

[viral hill]

there are lots of different methods. the "best" method is based off of your implementation of grass in the first place

[blissful hemlock]

so the implementation would be to make it move , can be burned ,cut , ok ok thx again!

[storm patio]

that would be the behaviors

[blissful hemlock]

i see so i make an script which consists of three enums? normal , cut and burn?

[storm patio]

the implementation would be as in - triggers? distance checks? etc

not saying those are good impls, just the examples i could think of off the top of my head

[storm patio]

if that's what you want, sure

(pedantically, those would be enum members within the same enum)

[blissful hemlock]

Thx chris!

nowadays im tryong to not use ai as much but more of my brain

[woeful torrent]

tbh my goal isn't even a full game, i just wanted to build a prototype of a game design concept i had to see if the gameplay would work

[blissful hemlock]

thats sounds interesting, whats the concept?

[maiden laurel]

hey everyone, Numeric field expressions don't work on overlay canvas ?

for instance L(-10,10) when I select multiple game object doesn't seem to work

[woeful torrent]

Maybe i should focus more on that, playing with asset shop stuff, making it clear its not my work, but a proof of concept

[woeful spear]

I chose the parent folder of my unity project for github repository, but it seems like it created a new folder by same name inside that folder:

So I guess it's not supposed to be like this?

[storm patio]

im not aware of anything that would make them not work

[storm patio]

did you actually choose the parent folder or the root folder

here, the parent folder is Unity3D, the root of project is the one that contains Assets/Library/etc

[stuck geyser]

General question, why can't I find 2023.2 in Unity Hub? No matter where I look I only find 2022 and 6+
I can find it on the website and install it from there, I was wondering why its not in Hub though

[woeful spear]

If I repeat same steps again, I think I did this:

[storm patio]

2023.2 doesn't exist. unity dropped the yearly naming convention in unity 6.
2023 was only for the alpha/beta versions, it was released as unity 6

[storm patio]

that's wrong, yeah

that creates a new repo inside that folder

[woeful spear]

Oh

[stuck geyser]

Ahh okay, so 6 IS 2023, I see
I was looking for it to get Canvas shader graphs

[maiden laurel]

im not aware of anything that would make

[woeful spear]

But how did it get its name?

[storm patio]

you should Add existing repo, choose your project root, github desktop will say it's not a repo, you can create a repo at that location

[woeful spear]

Oh

[storm patio]

iirc if you choose the actual parent (Unity3D) it'll say the folder already exists

[storm patio]

presumably you told it

[woeful spear]

But looks like that's not intended like you said

So I delete that nested folder now?

It's empty:

[storm patio]

it isn't empty, but if you haven't done anything in it then you can delete it, sure

[brave ridge]

pretty sure it just wasn't LTS and thats why. It is on the website archive

[woeful spear]

Couple of files

[storm patio]

woah wtf, im misinformed then

i thought there weren't any 2023.x.xf versions, mb

[storm patio]

yeah those are metadata for the repo

if you create the repo in the right place, they will be siblings of Assets/Library/etc

[woeful spear]

I was wondering ever since morning why it's showing no update even when I was working lol

[storm patio]

the .git folder marks the root of the repo, you didn't have any changes inside the actual repo lol

[sweet charm]

Generally u want to keep all those files in your root project folder (Stones Greybox)

[woeful spear]

I get it now, I indeed gave that name manually. And yeah it looks like it only asks for parent folder name, not main project folder.

[woeful spear]

Yes fixing now

[storm patio]

@woeful spear also don't forget to set the unity gitignore

[woeful spear]

Yeah

[woeful torrent]

What's a good template asset for a 3D third person combat game?

[woeful spear]

This is right way now?

[storm patio]

yes

[woeful spear]

Also, regarding gitignore, I used the previous files. It seems to have accepted them.

guys who know how to imitate slope handling like in roblox engine

like you cant run up but also cant slide down

only jump up

and stand on a slope

[viral hill]

use a box collider for your player

i think that should achieve the same effect

[hot acorn]

actually you right thanks

but im using sphere cast to check

if i grounded

is it okay or should i use box cast

[viral hill]

im not sure if any type of cast would work as intended without making the cast radius itself too large

maybe handle that in OnColliderEnter/Stay/Exit instead

[hot acorn]

no i didnt say correctly

im using sphere cast

to get normal

normals

[viral hill]

why

[hot acorn]

when im standing on a slope

to get angle

[viral hill]

yeah why do you need the angle

[hot acorn]

hmm wait

well idk cuz i did this

for sliding

now i wanna getrid of sliding

so idk

😭

okay thanks

i'll try change collider

Thanks for inform me

[pure igloo]

i am currently experiencing an issue which i can't really solve, I have made certain animator states, but i can't seem to be able to save them. whenever i save them, they revert back

after pressing ctrl + s, it turns from this

to this

i have absolutely no idea as to why this is happening. i faced this same problem last day, where i thought if i were to shut unity down and then open later on, it would fix itself up, but it's not happening

[craggy pollen]

that is indeed really weird

and the PlasmaBla also disappears

[pure igloo]

exactly

[stuck flower]

Try restarting Unity, then making the changes again

[pure igloo]

just saying this before i do it, i started unity after two days or smth, it was happening the previous day too...

[stuck flower]

If it's still doing it after restarting you could also try deleting the Library folder while it's closed and see if that helps

[pure igloo]

although, i see this popping up, is this an issue i need to be worried about or smth?

[vivid cedar]

Unity is trying to import an aseprite project file

not sure if you're intending for that to happen or not

[pure igloo]

said file is what i am currently using in the animator

[vivid cedar]

Are you using the aseprite importer package?

If not, then it's not what you're using in the animator, you probably exported the images separately

[pure igloo]

i imported these ones...i just saved them directly into this folder

and these ones are the only things i am currently using...

[pure igloo]

will it delete any stuff?

[stuck flower]

No, it'll be re-generated on start up. But if you're getting an error message about the exact file you're trying to use that's probably more likely and should probably have been mentioned from the start

[pure igloo]

i saw this after the restart...

[storm patio]

the path at the bottom of the animator pane seems to indicate you're trying to modify the auto-generated animator from the aseprite file?

[pure igloo]

also, said file is working perfectly in the asesprite

[storm patio]

i don't think you can do that

[pure igloo]

oh rly

[storm patio]

you should be getting animation clips that you can use in your own animator

[pure igloo]

this here is the clip

[storm patio]

yeah, that's autogenreated

don't modify that

[storm patio]

there's the looper animation clip there that you can use in your own animator

https://screenshot.help

[pure igloo]

that's what i am using though...

[storm patio]

are those all just stills

[storm patio]

you aren't using your own animator

or rather animator controller, mb

[pure igloo]

wait...so i don't use the one which was autogenerated in the folder

[storm patio]

you can use them, but you can't modify them

[pure igloo]

ofc it's read only

[storm patio]

if you don't want what the generated animator controller gives, you have to create a separate one that you can modify

the path at the bottom of the animator pane indicates you're trying to modify the generated one

[pure igloo]

i mean...it's what i want, it does not loop, but i thought i could just play that animation clip over and over again when i need it to

[storm patio]

you would not do that, no

you would have the animation clip itself loop

i don't remember if that's an import setting you can configure, or if it pulls from the tag data in the aseprite file

[pure igloo]

you can configure it to loop or not while exporting by changing between 0 and 1

[storm patio]

you aren't exporting anything here

not sure what you're talking about

[pure igloo]

like when you first make the animation and then save it, while exporting, you can set the animation to loop or not to loop

[storm patio]

there's a difference between saving and exporting

you haven't exported anything

(and you don't need to)

or if you have exported, you aren't using the exported file

you are currently using the source file. nothing about export options will affect it

[pure igloo]

i was saving a .webp previously, had to change the formats and stuff

[storm patio]

cool, that doesn't affect the aseprite file at all.

to be blunt - that simply just doesn't matter

[storm patio]

it's going to be one of these.

[unborn gazelle]

there u go , these are the clips. There is one more , the 4th one. But how to use them actually ?

[storm patio]

you would have several animation states that transition into each other upon certain conditions

[cinder sinew]

Hey guys, how do I move my camera in unity? For some reason its not working

[storm patio]

you might have "jumping" -> "hovering" -> "falling"
where the first transition is upon "yvel < 0.5" and the second one is upon "yvel < -0.5" for example

[storm patio]

gonna need more info to go off of than that

[cinder sinew]

I'm literally just trying to move my camera up and down 🙁

as in my camera to look at the project

[storm patio]

the scene camera?

are you trying to use flythrough?

[cinder sinew]

I'm trying to make a cylinder to put my scene camera on, but with the way my camera is currently, I can't actually see where the cylinder is

[storm patio]

or just the normal movement

[pure igloo]

got it fixed. you were right, it is a read only file which i can't change thx

[cinder sinew]

Normal movement

[storm patio]

pretty sure it's hold rightclick to rotate

[pale coyote]

How do I get more game ideas?

[storm patio]

or if you select the cylinder from the hierarchy, you can press F to focus it

[pure igloo]

think

[pale coyote]

Not working

[stuck flower]

Think more

[unborn gazelle]

i created a sub state machine and added the 4 animations into it and used a trigger for it to happen , but the entire thing was too slow , like each animation (among those 4) is getting played for too long

[storm patio]

explore (the internet, other games, irl, etc) and let your mind wander

find inspiration

[pure igloo]

or just think up stupid stuff like i am doing

[storm patio]

might be the exit time on the transitions being too long, or the triggers not triggering fast enough

[pale coyote]

Fnaf fanmade game it is

Might try unreal later when I get more time and boredom

[craggy pollen]

it is called scene camera, hold right mouse button and WASD

you can control the speed too you got the scene view settings for that

[cinder sinew]

I really really really want to make a horse game, however I am so stuck on where to start

[vivid cedar]

I would start with the horse

[craggy pollen]

first you´d learn some of the basics of c#

[cinder sinew]

I know basics of coding but I've done more websites and javascript

[craggy pollen]

that is cool than you already have some programming experience

a good starting point would be the movement of the horse, first without any animations. i´d highly recommend you do it right and use physics based movement for proper collision detection and stuff

[cinder sinew]

i have a MSc in Equitation Science so I have knowledge of biomechanics

What would be the best platform to make it on?

[craggy pollen]

what do you mean with What would be the best platform to make it on?

[cinder sinew]

as in Blender or an alternative?

[craggy pollen]

that is your own choice and taste, use whatever 3d modeling you want. Blender is fine.

and if you want you can get tons of free or paid 3d models online, even horses

and what softwares should i use for that

[turbid zephyr]

yo is c# a hard language to learn?

[hushed hamlet]

Id suggest starting with blender and youtube videos or a udemy class

[hushed hamlet]

I would mark it 5/10. Assuming like assembly and scratch are on the far ends. Easier for most than C++, but some aspects take time to understand. There is a difference though between learning C# and learning Unitys deep integrations and such.

[turbid zephyr]

alr so not that hard got it

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah, I mean id plan a good 10 or 15mins at least.

20 if you're planning an MMO 😉

[turbid zephyr]

oh nice lmao

ik html, css, python, and a bit of js

honestly shouldnt be hard

[storm patio]

html and css aren't programming languages btw, they won't help much

the js and python will

[turbid zephyr]

yea honestly they are so easy i dont really consider them languages lol

a what

how is this not working

it looks bad as hell

celling is even worse

hi is there any way to mirror a sprites direction (ie from facing left to facing right) in unity or is it better to just make 2 sprites for each direction

[gusty abyss]

'bru

weres the celling light ay

i dont get unitys lights

Sprite renderer has a flipX and flipY

[deft rock]

the spriterenderer component has a tick box on it to flip it IIRC

Im getting an error regarding not finding the Android SDK path, and google''s telling me to find the "Android Section" in the path that the unity warning window gives me (Edit > Preferences > External Tools), but there is none. It seems its supposed to be there automatically, or am I supposed to manually add it? Im not sure how it works entirely. Using Unity 6.0.34f

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah when you install the editor, it has checkmarks to enable for those. Not everyone installs them - I have ~40 or so editor versions installed. And half the time they managed the android runtimes miserably (not wntirely their fault as the SDKs have changed a lot). And if you, say, use Android Studio day to day, then you dont need 40 installs of their same SDK etc.

That being all said, yes, normally that is installed with the editor.

Also, that isnt the path to the SDKs. That looks like its for git merging

Down lower that's what you should be looking for. (Same window just scrolled down)

[deft rock]

is that section present if you've not got Android as the selected platform?

[sonic ferry]

Oh ur right. Its currently on windows, and Android is grayed out... I did reset my PC, which is where im getting all these new issues. Also, dont know how much of an affect not having Microsoft Visual Studio downloaded first might have affected things, when I installed Unity it did have a checkbox of Android SDK stuff tho (and automatically downloading VS so not sure on that)... Ill look into this new info stuff, clarified a little bit. Thanks!

not having VS downloaded or installed makes no difference to anything

Same for when I release the button.

I'm trying to figure out 2d platformer movement and most platformers I see have it so holding the button doesn't buffer, only pressing.

its a rendering NaN (not a number) situation..

just make it 0.001 or something

you can set custom icons for monobehaviours and scriptableobjects though which is the like 1 thing

pretty hidden, on the monoscript you can pick one here

i dont suppose anyone knows how to hook up a* pathfinding to a steering behaviour? currently doing uni work and ive hit a huge roadblock trying to convert the path made by A* to the seek steering behaviour to have an agent move along it.

[wise yacht]

I have an interesting problem - need to store an upgrade tree (ideally in scriptable objects). Ignoring the issue of like "actuvating upgrades" as thats a future issue, how can I store it? I want to be able to have

• Split paths
• Nodes
• Only being able to upgrade 1 path, or upgrade N paths to a nth degree

and ideally I want to serialize it all

[sly lake]

Could have something like:

public class SkillTreeBranch: ScriptableObject
{
  public Skill[] Skills;
  public SkillTreeBranch[] Branches;
  public SkillTreeBranch[] ExclusiveWith;
}

And go recursively

[wise yacht]

Yeah was considering that

I would like it all to be editable in 1 SO though

But i suppose I can serialize SOs inside other ones

[sly lake]

[Serializable]
public struct SkillTreeBranch
{
  public int id;
  public Skill[] Skills;
  public SkillTreeBranch[] Branches;
  public int[] ExclusiveWith;

}
public class SkillTree: ScriptableObject
{
  public SkillTreeBranch[] Branches;
}

This would be recursive in the editor, but no safety on references

You could also use sub-assets to store everything in one place

Then maybe with some custom inspector (UI toolkit or Odin) to edit all the data

well, I'm making this minesweeper right now, and I'm not sure if it's a big project, but it's my first project.

[sly lake]

In terms of production size, I worked on a certain AAA shooter I won't name.

In terms of actual downloads, I made a mobile game for pre-schoolers that was probably more popular 😄

[tall hearth]

Curious now what made you more money

And which was more enjoyable to work on

[sly lake]

In my opinion, working remotely in a team spread across the world isn't an ideal working situation. I prefer to know my coworkers.

[worldly cave]

Won 17th place in a game jam once

If by big you mean sucessful

And not literally big

[sinful salmon]

i just mean popular games

[sinful salmon]

Unity just spitted a random error at me and one inspector doesn't work, any channel where I can get a quick tip?

[sly lake]

Unity 6.2?

[balmy palm]

If it’s code related you can definitely post that in #💻┃code-beginner

[cold sky]

6 LTS, at least one of them

not sure if it's code related

[sly lake]

Can you post the error?

[cold sky]

wa

[tall hearth]

we both know thats too much work

[cold sky]

re-launching unity didn't help me but

once you asked me to post the error I went to the inspector and it works normally now

[sly lake]

Yeah I'm just that good

Anyway, if you run into it again, post the error.

[balmy palm]

The errors are scared of wolfos.

And ran away.

[cold sky]

anyway it was that

[sly lake]

Would need the whole stacktrace to draw a conclusion

[balmy palm]

It’s nothing related to your projects assets. I think that’s just the unity inbuilt render system

[tall hearth]

Nah ui elements so just a normal unity bug not their fault

[cold sky]

"normal" "bug"

[sly lake]

It's a game engine after all

If they're working fine you should be suspicious

[storm patio]

if there aren't any issues then there isn't any work done, obvs

[tall hearth]

Lets be honest if it's working fine it aint working

[balmy palm]

That’s me when my vs suddenly decided to stop showing errors.

But yeah if it works then something is not right, too good.

[cold sky]

It doesn't bother me much (so I ll skip the fixing part) because it occasionally works normally but it's kinda cursed

[untold gale]

guys is unity 6 stable at all now? it used to crash every 5 minutes 2 months ago

[dreamy dome]

I can't dump audio

anyone know this reason

[storm patio]

what are you trying to do exactly?

this is a unity discord

[dreamy dome]

this is unity Tool

[storm patio]

are you trying to extract assets from an existing game or something

[dreamy dome]

I try to change game sound but I can't

[storm patio]

so you're trying to mod a game?

[dreamy dome]

yes

[storm patio]

[tall hearth]

What unity 6 version

Been using it for the last year with little crashes

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! Why?

I cannot build my project files

[high osprey]

Hello how to jump in unity

[boreal river]

@high osprey Easy all you have to do is this

playerRb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpSpeed * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode.Impulse) ```thats rigidbody based jumping

[vivid cedar]

Do not multiply deltaTime

[boreal river]

Yes right

[vivid cedar]

That would make your jump stronger or weaker depending on your framerate

[sly lake]

Would be an interesting mechanic in an esports game

Instead of people lowering the resolution for max framerates everyone's running the crappiest PC's they can find to gain an advantage

[boreal river]

@storm patio I said something wrong? I mean there is a way to creating rigidbody based movement, jumping etc and there is also a way to create it via transform no like transform based movement and jumping and all of these stuff no?

[sly lake]

I don't think it's helpful to do this kind of spoon feeding. Doesn't really teach anything

[storm patio]

the deltatime

you did acknowledge that it was wrong, yes - but sometimes that followup message can be missed, so since you didn't edit it, i reacted as somewhat of an indicator that it wasn't correct (at least, that was the intent)

(i do agree that spoonfeeding isn't great, but that wasn't the point of the 👎)

[boreal river]

But guys what do you think is the problem here??

[willow goblet]

missing parent... hmm... probably an orphan

[sly lake]

Material variant but parent material was deleted

[boreal river]

I mean I have tried to build the project files only and it works but when I build and run it didn't maybe thats because I haven't built the project files previously

Its my first build on this project I am making

With build and run there was a problem but now I have to build the files only and it works

Check

But for one reason it takes so much

to do the compiling

[sly lake]

It does, yes

[boreal river]

I mean at first

on subsequent builds it works fine

[sly lake]

Yes, shader compilation only runs once (until you update Unity or change the shaders)

More CPU cores speeds it up

[boreal river]

My CPU has 6 cores old one

[sly lake]

Even on my 16 core machine it takes a while

[boreal river]

Bro that requirements with Content Creation really stress me out

[copper gust]

(Even in triple a games shader compilation can take 5-15min)

[sly lake]

That's different

[boreal river]

Bro its all about productivity

To have as a programmer a second monitor for example

like having high end PC

it has many requirements to have the best possible equipment

[sly lake]

This is HLSL > DXIL, the in-game compilation is DXIL > your GPU's specific ISA

[boreal river]

same with Film Industry

They have to buy drones, cameras etc

[copper gust]

Make smaller games 😛

[boreal river]

Bro on my college they wants us to build a game on Unreal Engine as well we have many projects right now + my personal project that I am building in Unity and its really complicated how my PC is going to Run Unreal Engine project that we will have to create with blueprints?

[pale kraken]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know for the avatar definision (Where you set up skeleton) can you increase the amount of bones it selects? Its refusing to select my hair bones on the the head which is weird as I never had this issue before?

[sly lake]

No, the "humanoid" rig is standardized and doesn't have a hair bone

[copper gust]

Personally I would not be in Unreal for free but it is a pretty major engine in the industry

[boreal river]

For free?

wdym?

[sly lake]

I charge 3x more for Unreal jobs than Unity.

I still do them but I will complain

[copper gust]

I assume your college is not paying you

[pale kraken]

No I mean (Recognize) the bones (IE) you select the (head) bone in it and it highlights all the child that will be affected by animation.

[boreal river]

Unreal Engine jobs are the highest paying ones

right now I think

But really Unity is used more from devs

I have see statistics

[copper gust]

No diss but that’s an objectively meaningless statement as it entirely depends on where you live / have access to

[boreal river]

My college not paying me? No it doesn't I pay the college

In Greece we have this thing we pay colleges they arent free

Universities here are free

[copper gust]

Hence your having to work in unreal for free, I agree that sucks

I would only be in unreal if i was paid good money 😛

[boreal river]

Bro its college they wont pay us we are building portfolio and skills haha

I have heard that many people are using Roblox Studio as well right now

One of my friends is crazy with Roblox Studio haha

Double check that "Strip Unused Variants" is enabled under Graphics -> URP Global Settings. If you've upgraded from an older Unity version or Built-In Render Pipeline, it could be that it's not ticked.

[hard parcel]

Are there any plans on improving ui toolkit? More styles better rendering, shader.. ?

Shadows, animations .. etc.

It'll be fun trying to figure out where it is. Like an easter egg hunt

probably on the rp asset

There’s a free HBAO implementation on the asset store if you want something that doesn’t look like a failed outline shader

i mean they have not even asked a question just random quote and ping

[junior path]

Is there an asset available that culls individual triangles when it's not in the viewport of the camera?

[brazen oasis]

step 1. download unity
step 2. tear your hair out because nothing works right 🫠

[stuck flower]

I believe this happens right out of the box. It might only be able to cull entire meshes though

[stuck flower]

step 3. realize what you were doing wrong instead of blaming your tools

[brazen oasis]

dude

[junior path]

That's what I want to avoid. On my platform, every triangle counts.

[stuck flower]

Yeah, looks like by default it will only cull an entire mesh or sub-mesh if the whole thing is off screen. While looking though, I found this blog post that looks like exactly what you need, but it does seem fairly complicated to implement:
https://www.alexisbacot.com/blog/per-triangle-occlusion-on-the-gpu-in-1ms-with-unity

[exotic relic]

Is the scene very detailed? Theres plenty of other ways to improve performance

[modest meteor]

depending on your scene you might also want occlusion culling

[exotic relic]

I'm curious about the model. Some models could have 100k tris, while some 10. LOD might be something to suggest depending on the model

[glass kraken]

hi, I've always used regular cameras and would want to use cinemachine cameras now especially to add a hiding system in my game with blending with a first person controller, I've watched some tutorials but very a few of them show what I'm looking for, most of the FP person controllers setup I have are simple Character Controller and a child camera, how could I achieve what I want simply?

[viral hill]

best to ask #🎥┃cinemachine

[brazen oasis]

if I cut pre made animations from unity will it break the animation and cause it to freeze in it's last frame because that's the only thing I could think of that I did wrong man 🫠

like is it too short of something I don't think it's even that short

[exotic relic]

Any animation will stop at the last frame unless you toggle "loop"

[brazen oasis]

it's an attack animation that has an exit time so it's supposed to stop and return to idle do I just turn on the looping then?

the video I watch didn't tell me to

I'll try that when I get home but I don't think it'll help I've been stuck on this for 3 days and I can't find anything on Google 😭

[exotic relic]

if the attack is only supposed to play once, then no you dont make it loop. You can either use code to blend the attack to idle, blend trees, or transitions in the animator controller

[brazen oasis]

#🏃┃animation look here I have a video I'm pretty sure everything is correct but idk maybe I missed something I'm not noticing

[exotic relic]

Do you have code playing that animation?

[glass kraken]

seems to be inactive

[mild radish]

maybe at the moment.. but its still the better place to ask
patience is a virtue

[brazen oasis]

I should I copied the guys code from the YT video I linked

[glass kraken]

ye

[sour dove]

not sure where this should go but can I make buttons and stuff that can be used inside the inspector like @tool scripts in godot (also hello I'm new to this server I am fine at C# coding but I come from python and godot so keep that in mind!)

[exotic relic]

Can you show the code in a paste link

[brazen oasis]

not home currently so not rn no

[viral hill]

what you are referring to is called "editor extensions". there are lots of tutorials on this concept and there is an #↕️┃editor-extensions channel

[sour dove]

ok 😄 thanks!

[tall hearth]

Me when im told to stop being a dev cause i dont like game jams due to them being too time restrictive for my taste -_-

[unborn gazelle]

my character is standing on the mesh collider of this ground object and it looks it running in the air. Turning off the mush collider makes it pass through it. Is there a way to fix this ?

[exotic relic]

create a 3D plane object from your hierarchy. stretch it to the size you need. disable the mesh renderer on it. now you have a perfectly soft floor

if the terrain is super uneven, you can try removing that mesh collider component then adding one again

[unborn gazelle]

i see, do u mean i disable the mesh collider on this object and place one plane just below it and disable the mesh renderer on that plane. So that the character can stand on that plane instead of this object ?

[exotic relic]

What i meant with the plane is it has a collider on it which will act as a floor. Disabling the mesh renderer will hide the material (white) so its invisible and you end up with a invisible floor that you can walk on

if a smooth/flat floor works for you then you can remove the mesh colliders off of the other terrain pieces

[unborn gazelle]

That might actually work , thanks for the idea 👍

[mild radish]

i usually use a big box collider w/ a height of like .25 and move to so the top matches to the plane

[exotic relic]

either works. i do use boxes in some places, it makes it easy to see where you are placing a collider

[keen locust]

does anyone else have issues with Cinemachine? HDRP? Or is there a better way to do cinematics than use that

[hushed hamlet]

There is always a better way, but it works for most things

[normal stag]

yall download unity???

ive been using it wrong this entire time

[hushed hamlet]

Well, to be fair, it is one of the toughest industries to break into. And as a gamejam is only as long as you make it and scope it, I would say approaching it cautiously may be wise.

Also, not everyones into jams, which is AOK. I havent liked the last few ive done (ggj etc) just because I havent enjoyed the theme.

[sly lake]

Yeah me too

[hushed hamlet]

The one thing ill add is you usually keep your cinematics in the same render pipeline as your game, you usually use them with active characters in the 3D space. So if you use HDRP you probably want to keep the game in HDRP (assuming you arent rendering out or something)

[tall hearth]

I mean yeah and dont get me wrong, I've made/make games but my problem is i am slow with asset creating but I mainly do programming but since I work alone I have to do everything and 7 days isnt enough time when you add on things like school to it

also to clarify he said the words "Then quit now" when i said i didn't like game jams

[sly lake]

You’ll learn to work better with time constraints later

[keen locust]

thx so much for your reply! yeah i dont know i keep getting this weird cinemachine error whenever i import it into project. not sure what it is

[hushed hamlet]

No worries I went back to change my wording because I didn't want to feel unsupportive. Everyone's lives are unique :).

[junior path]

This game is going to run on Switch 1

It's open world

[sly lake]

Considering how Breath of the Wild barely hit 30fps most of the time, I think doing such a thing in Unity is a bit ambitious

[junior path]

Honestly 30fps is fine by me

[sly lake]

Yeah but this was a specialized engine

[junior path]

I consider that a challenge

Also Genshin exists

[sly lake]

Not on Switch

[junior path]

I like challenges

Even if it only runs at 30fps, I consider that a success

[sly lake]

Yes, I would consider that quite hard

I don’t know what kind of occlusion culling techniques were used there. Probably something cheap and baked

Not an expensive thing trying to cull every triangle. That sounds very unlikely to work

[junior path]

If I were to get a Unity genie, one of my wishes would be to port a Nanite like system.
Triangle culling is a decent alternative though

Okay okay didnt know

[forest jay]

hello

[safe garden]

hey all, when loading this custom shader in amplify for some reason it makes the texture pink - is there a way to fix this? I was advised to switch shader type to Universal/Lit but it only gives option for surface

[worldly cave]

What pipeline are you using?

[safe garden]

its amplify material editor

and URP

[worldly cave]

i mean if the shader itself isnt made for urp

its gonna be pink

so you need to use the urp template

if thats a thing that you can choose with amplify

[safe garden]

just checked project settings, apparently our default project settings is set to none, dafuq

[tawny quail]

switch Shader Type to URP->Lit (in the image)

[worldly cave]

"I was advised to switch shader type to Universal/Lit but it only gives option for surface"

[tawny quail]

Oh just saw that, my bad. Are you sure you're on URP? I booted up a project using amplify + urp (which took a while) and I didn't need to set anything up for it (latest amplify version). Kind of weird if there is only Surface though, since there should also be stuff for UI, BuiltIn, render textures, etc.

[safe garden]

just checked our team project settings but apparently our default project settings are set to none rather than any pipeline, will have to check with the team tomorrow

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[shadow heron]

Can you not spam and cross post?

[exotic relic]

is the equation dynamic or is it always that same question 7+6?

[lime furnace]

@exotic relic it is dynamic, it will change everytime you open a crate

[exotic relic]

how did you generate the equation?

because if you generated each number, why dont you just add the numbers together in code and check if their input is that number

[lime furnace]

this way i just added random equations so that whenever the player opens a crates different equations will appear

[potent geyser]

@lime furnace Please stop cross posting.

[exotic relic]

That code is the concept you need, whats the exact issue you are having - besides needing to call those functions

[lime furnace]

I just need to place the cursor in the answer field and then enter my answer for that equation, i just need to figure it how to enter the answer in that field

[exotic relic]

The picture of the game above, does that not let you type text into the box?

[lime furnace]

Yes exactly, it does not let me type into the box

[exotic relic]

is the cursor / mouse visible so you can click into the box?

[lime furnace]

yes cursor is visible

[exotic relic]

does the button let you click it?

[lime furnace]

i am trying to click in that white box, but that cursor is not being place in it

[exotic relic]

i know. im just asking if the button lets you click it in case something invisible is covering the ui

[lime furnace]

yes it does let me click it the white box, Since i am not able to enter the answer when i click on submite it shows TRY AGAIN

[exotic relic]

if you create a new input field next to it as a test, play and see if it lets you click that one. maybe you accidentally changed a setting disabling the current one
