how do i turn this pink sticky stuff

nvm

[clear hearth]

Hello everyone

I need your help

[hexed path]

How do purchased assets relate to organizations? I have two organizations registered with Unity, but when I toggle the org on the asset store the "My Assets" list doesn't seem to change...

[clear hearth]

I want to download Meta XR All-in-One SDK at Universal 3D template in Unity 6.2 editor.

[strong raft]

hello

[strong raft]

hi

[clear hearth]

However, the download did not occur and the Unity Bug Reporter opened.

How can I solve the problem?

I'm new the Unity

[shy nymph]

Heyyyy,
I m new here, i m looking 4 help (sorry i m french)
i made rig arms to a FPS game (school project i m the 3D artist in Maya) and i rlly dont know how to import my hads moving animation (the very basic animation of hands slowly up and down)
Thx 4 ur help (u can come private if u want :)

[maiden flax]

Export as fbx and import in unity?

[storm patio]

(please don't solicit DMs)
have you tried researching about importing it at all? are you stuck on specific issues? perhaps try #🔀┃art-asset-workflow or #🏃┃animation depending on the specific issue

[storm patio]

and please don't crosspost. choose one channel to ask in, don't spam in all of them

[shy nymph]

indeed sorry

[shy nymph]

i saw videos but it s all about animations of characters like in the world, and mine is just hands moving attached to the camera

[storm patio]

perhaps add some keywords to your search - "first person", etc

[shy nymph]

i tryed

there is nothing with Maya

most of videos r blender export

i was looking 4 someone who did it and can explain it to me in stream call lmao but it’s surely too much to ask ^^'

i will try somethings, i ll be back if it s not working

[ember gate]

whoa really?

[glass kraken]

hi, do you guys know when the unity asset store sales end?

[lapis gate]

flash deals go on for another 5-6 days so I would base it on that

learn.unity.com/pathways

[wraith coral]

Thank you very much

[wraith coral]

From here shd i start with unity essentials?

[near wigeon]

would be good to start yes because it will familiarize you with the basics of the editor and such

[wraith coral]

Ohkk

After tht
Shd I go with c# and then ??

[near wigeon]

if you want to do coding then sure, do a bit of the junior programmer and some traditional c# courses on the microsoft site like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/csharp-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners

Unity has visual scripting too but its generally messier / slower to put together something but can help those who like to visualize things more

[wraith coral]

Okkk

If i ask u roadmap
Wht would u suggest me ?

[near wigeon]

up to you how you you wantt to learn and what goal you want to achieve.

do a bit of the junior programmer and some traditional c# courses on the microsoft site

[wraith coral]

Kk

[near wigeon]

you will need scripting regardless to do most functionalities

[frosty sparrow]

I have an npc prefab with an animator and some behaviours. I use them all over my game project, but at some spots I'd like them to be "posed" I can pose them "manually" if I assign them an empty animation controller and just have some animation rigging and programmed ik. And a related problem, even my animated npc which have an initial state of "idle", don't look idle in my scenes, in the scenes all my characters are t-posed, is there a way to have all characters at the first frame of their initial animator state in the scene view? (then I could "pose" sitting npc's bu giving them an initial sitting idle animation)

[wraith coral]

Ya
I wanna learn scripting and ui ux
And i also want to learn how to change sdk's
If there r some sdk's I am using I want to add some things to tht
I want to learn tht also
Will I be able to do it once I learn scripting?

[near wigeon]

ya sure if the SDK allows you to do that, they generally are created to interact with specific software / hardware . You will at least be able to understand the inner workings

[wraith coral]

Okk

Its not anymore a good place , u cant really find job there , its just gigs or scams

[twin umbra]

i have quick question that been bothering me, is there a specific turn on splashscreen right after unity logo show up
it should be developher logo or publisher logo first to show up?

[opaque turtle]

has anyone found a fix for unity running as administrator? ive already tried the uac fix, it didnt work, i checked the properties and it isnt set to run as administrator, the only fix was to make a new user account for windows and make it standard but i want it to work on my main account

this error just keeps popping up

and the restart unity as standard user doesnt work

[untold heron]

Hello, does anyone know a resource for in-depth explanations about everything configurable for URP 2D quality settings? Or should I just go setting by setting and look up individual keywords etc. 🙂

[violet gazelle]

Can I bug someone for their opinion on designing a follow cam that mimics something like Wipeout or even FZero GX? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48I7rv7qaxU

I'm trying to think of how I would approach a follow camera that "stay to the left or right" - moreso with Cinemachine; but I guess I'm not familiar enough with Cinemachine to understand the best approach

Or if anyone just has some reading materials / videos that go over more advanced cinemachine use cases, that'd be nice too

[worldly cave]

to me it looks like the camera isnt directly parented to the racer but rather some point that follows the racer but is locked from moving horizontally?

[violet gazelle]

Thats what my initial thought was, that its purely following their progress along the racetrack as oppose to the car itself

I wasnt sure if that was looking at it the wrong way or not

[hard parcel]

Man the ui toolkit is such an awesome system shame they are not pushing it farther strong - i mean its small stuff that bother's me like missing z-index, - key frame animations, etc etc

[opaque turtle]

anyone know a fix for this?

im desperate

[copper gust]

If it makes you feel better compared to a majority of the engine it’s getting quite a bit of special attention

[hard parcel]

yea i also saw the 6.3 road map - they are fixing bigger issues - the smaller things i believe will stay the same

[lapis gate]

Positional Composer has some specific settings where you can specify a deadzone in which the camera tries to stay fixated before adjusting. I believe the newer cinemachine has broken it down into Orbital Follower

I'd try fooling around with that and a Rotational Composer

[gray frigate]

if your normal account has administrator privileges, you're always going to see this

[opaque turtle]

hey do you know by any chance how to fix that instead of having to make another pc profile and make it standard

[opaque turtle]

any way to make it work on admin profile?

[gray frigate]

no, because the entire point is that you're running with elevated privileges

unity will complain because that's a bad idea

this is a bad idea in general

[opaque turtle]

damn

[woeful spear]

I'm trying to create a 2D object to show some text/image. I used a Quad and used Unlit/Texture material for it. It works but it only renders from one side. Back side doesn't render when viewed from behind.

[pearl oyster]

If you enable double-sided rendering the text will be rendered as a mirror image on the other side which I assume isn't what you want

The easiest way is to just duplicate the quad and rotate the copy 180 degrees

[woeful spear]

Oh that's also a concern

[woeful spear]

Where is this option BTW?

There is this Double Sided Global Illumination option but it doesn't seem to do anything

[pearl oyster]

Material -> Surface Options -> Render Face

[woeful spear]

I'm using this shader actually. It doesn't have any custom options. What if I use the standard Unlit shader? It has more options including the Render Face. I'm just not sure which shader is better for this purpose.

[honest saddle]

I made a prototype for a game idea that I had, and I want feedback on the core game loop. Does this server provide a feedback on prototypes? A thread or chat.

[pearl oyster]

So you want it to be mirrored on the other side?

[balmy kettle]

you can post your build and request feedback in #1180170818983051344

[woeful spear]

No. When you mentioned this thing earlier, I decided the other approach would be better. That is, it should be readable on both sides. So I guess this is not possible with normal Unlit shader?

I guess I'd have to use the two lables approach. And flip and combine them.

[pearl oyster]

Right, if you set the same quad to render on both faces then the other face will be mirrored

[woeful spear]

Yeah I tried, it's mirror from other side:

So I think I'll duplicate and flip it.

Wouldn't that create some artifacts?

Oh it shouldn't as it only renders on one side.

Just tried it and it works good.

[misty bear]

any performance tips in doing something like that? (look at the bullet rain) (the game is called touhou, is something like space shooter)

i know i can use pooling manager. but looking at that amount i don't think that will be enough no?

[violet gazelle]

Cheers, I'll look more into that

[exotic relic]

Shouldnt be a problem since its 2D. about as good as its going to get, if you notice the bottom it is barely on the 60fps mark.

[lapis gate]

Can alway implement pooling later but I'd just forgo it until you run into problems

[exotic relic]

Even if I placed 1000 3D objects, it would still do better than 60fps. That 2D scene on unity today is unlikely to be a problem.

[misty bear]

i see... thx everyone

[exotic relic]

Just make sure they delete once they get off screen - you can add backup 3d colliders with a simple script that destroys any object that enters. Avoid scripts on the projectiles that use Update functions

[misty bear]

if not update function then what should i use? subscription?

no, i don't think that will work tooo

how do you check if the bullet hit the player then?

[exotic relic]

Using trigger colliders. But depending on how fast the projectiles are shooting. If its fast then you will need to use Update and continue without worry unless you notice the FPS going below 60

[misty bear]

also the bullet moving on itself is update function too

i don't think i can do that without update function

[exotic relic]

Alright no problem. Dont worry about it unless you notice an actual problem with FPS. Idk if you heard of a game called BTD6, its similar to what you showed, made in unity. Good performance until you place a ton of those in your pic and it will drop down to 5 FPS. There isnt too much you can do at that point. You could limit the amount of towers a player can place

[misty bear]

yeah... but the problem is i want to make game like this. lots of bullets

[exotic relic]

Are there any issues right now or did you not start yet?

[misty bear]

not yet

[exotic relic]

Alrighty. Go for it 🙂 Should work fine as is.

[misty bear]

ok 🙂

[little beacon]

can somebody explain why my characters i created have no shadow

[vivid cedar]

Where's your light? What is its rotation?

[stiff quest]

Check your directional light

and what the hell is that

[violet mountain]

Hey devs

[little beacon]

no bro i adjusted it to point to the ground

[violet mountain]

What do you think about Unity 7

I heard it will have GenAi

[stiff quest]

Show inspector

Of directional light

[little beacon]

nah i just removed old project

beginner learning make game solo is so hard

[opaque vale]

Small question, when searching in the project with the project searchbar its starting to get messy i.e one Something folder from Scripts/ another from Resources etc etc. How do you avoid this issue?

[wide python]

i have a problem. why i see the red dot is red but around it black filled? i want it transparent. help me guys please?

[little beacon]

what is this problem

[tawny quail]

1. Make sure your directional light is pointing toward the ground
2. Make sure it also has shadows enabled (in inspector)

[little beacon]

i try to make my zombie come to me

but why my code not run

overall view

[craggy pollen]

line 17 followplayer

can you show that line

[craggy pollen]

well you did not assing anything to player

[balmy kettle]

also null is being explicitly assigned to player every single frame

[tawny quail]

== not =

[storm patio]

you also probably don't want that silent exit

just let it fail fast

so you get an error message to fix

[little beacon]

I adjusted it but it's still the same

!= null bro

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called =.

[dreamy yarrow]

hi guys

[little beacon]

i dont understand

[storm patio]

so you were checking, "if i have a player, don't do anything"?

[craggy pollen]

instead of assigning the player we use a return, very smart

by any chance did you find that code in some tutorial?

[little beacon]

yeah

first time make 3d in unity

im beginner

[craggy pollen]

so is the tutor

[little beacon]

just learn unity for 4 days

I have a basic platform about Python, C++, and C#, so I think I can make a game right now

[craggy pollen]

so to make it short just get rid of these 2 lines, #💻┃unity-talk message

[dreamy yarrow]

my game keep showing this weird line, any help?

[craggy pollen]

and you better use [SerializeField] GameObject player and assing the player via inspector then remove the line in the Start method

[dreamy yarrow]

these do not appear on the scene tab

[little beacon]

yes sir

it works

thanks

[storm patio]

are you using a pixel perfect camera

[dreamy yarrow]

i dont know, how i do that?

i just started with unity

[storm patio]

oh wait, the camera is visible there

you aren't

you add a pixel perfect camera component to the camera gameobject and configure it

[charred fog]

Make sure tiles have point filter and no compression, spritesheet can bleed in. Also exact pixel per unit settings corresponding Tilemap

[gray frigate]

the Pixel Perfect Camera component makes sure that each pixel in the art corresponds to a whole number of pixels on the screen

this will prevent the pixel art from getting distorted

[charred fog]

Right, also camera is not in orthographic perspective so it would peek under weird angles

[gray frigate]

make it orthographic first, for sure (:

[atomic folio]

Can someone please tell me the steps of how I can make a AI simulated stick figure fight in unity 6 with a sword character go through every step like a game developer so I don't lose steps add components to and everything please also I am using visual studio code/c# for code also put the scripts on the steps so i know when to code them and there are no animator transitions and make this simulation like smash bros and your only move is hustle a turn based fighting and prediction game made by ivysly in to 2023

here are the sprites

the names ones of the left are idle, dash, move, crouch, slide ,jump, block left, block right, aerial slash which is 3 frames , large aerial slash which is also 3 frames , stagger, stagger air, die win, ones on the right which are all 3 frames Basic Slash, Large Slash, Up Slash, Pierce, Backslash

[gray frigate]

you're not going to get someone to write an entire game for you

perhaps you should start by figuring out how to move the character around and make the appropriate animations play

[atomic folio]

yes i know that i meant like teach me some steps

so i can do them

lemme rephrase my text

[night jasper]

pls someone help me to add animition to my 2d game i dont know how

[atomic folio]

by itself?

[exotic relic]

What do you usually do when you don’t know something?

[night jasper]

i googled it and its old stuff that didnt help/work i tried to add this like 3 hours went on youtube and stuff and nothing worked

[exotic relic]

There’s a chance that you need to learn piece by piece, no tutorial will explain it all. Try to learn how to play an animation from code. It is only one line.

[night jasper]

what line?

[exotic relic]

animator.Play(“walk”); you just need to build the conditions

[night jasper]

oh i think i got it thx ill try

[exotic relic]

Whatever you want to create, break it down into pieces. Learn how to do tiny things and you’ll be able to put it together

[glass cipher]

I’m trying to create a similar. top bar like in the picture, but it’s not really working.

Here’s what I’m doing:
• Creating a Canvas
• Adding a Background as a child
• Adding a SafeAreaRoot as a child (with the Safe Area script)
• Inside the Safe Area, I put my Top Bar
• LeftGroup → UI Panel with a Horizontal Layout Group (for the hearts)
• RightGroup → UI Panel with a Horizontal Layout Group (for the coins)
• Both groups have “Control Child Size” enabled

But it’s still not working correctly.
The hearts and coins don’t display or position properly, and on some phones the top has too much space while on others it looks normal.

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

[gray frigate]

make sure that the "Force Expand" boxes are unchecked

[craggy pollen]

#📲┃ui-ux

[gray frigate]

then go there, yeah

i can show you a few things to look at

[cobalt sequoia]

hey my game runs smoothly on my laptop but terrible on my android phone, its quite a simple game and my phone is pretty good

[plain dagger]

Use the profiler with a dev android build to see what the cause is

[cobalt sequoia]

uuh whats that? do you mean like that i can build and run and then see the console on my laptop?

[exotic relic]

What if you disable the map and run the game, check the FPS. If it’s not that it’ll be your scripts. If it is that, you may need to reduce post processing, reduce texture resolution, etc.

[plain dagger]

When you make an android build, tick the "Development build" option
Then start reading about the profiler: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/profiler-introduction.html

[cobalt sequoia]

ok thx gonna try that

[plain dagger]

You want to use that to see if its code thats taking to long or if its rendering. You can share some screenshots of the profiler if you need help figuring it out later.

[cobalt sequoia]

ok

[craggy pollen]

it could also be that you forgot to use deltatime when required. it can have huge inpact which makes you think it has to do with the performance

[night jasper]

i used this code using UnityEngine;

public class walking : MonoBehaviour
{
public Animator animator;

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    {
        animator.Play("Run");
    }
    else
    {
        animator.Play("idle");
    }
}

}
and it didnt worked

[storm patio]

explain how it didn't work exactly

[cobalt sequoia]

did you use the excact same name cuz idle is with small letter and Run is capital

[night jasper]

oh let me check

yes i did

[exotic relic]

Its probably continuously playing the animation causing it to start from the beginning.

public class walking : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Animator animator;

    private string currentState;

    void Update()
    {
        bool isRunning = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D);

        if (isRunning)
        {
            ChangeAnimationState("Run");
        }
        else
        {
            ChangeAnimationState("Idle");
        }
    }

    void ChangeAnimationState(string newState)
    {
        if (currentState == newState) return;

        animator.Play(newState);
        currentState = newState;
    }
}

[night jasper]

tried adding animition and it did nothing

[exotic relic]

Add the script to your character, and make sure you drag/drop the character with the animator into the script fields

[night jasper]

no its just not adding any stuff

[night jasper]

ohh

just a sec

oh wait i did

[exotic relic]

if there are any errors, it may be since I accidentally put a capitol W on the script lol

Anyways, you may need to share more pics and how you setup the animator

[night jasper]

Animator.GotoState: State could not be found
UnityEngine.Animator:Play (string)
walking:ChangeAnimationState (string) (at Assets/walking.cs:29)
walking:Update () (at Assets/walking.cs:16)

what that means?

[storm patio]

you mistyped the state name

[storm patio]

please don't spoonfeed, for future reference

[night jasper]

its an error i fixed the error on the original

[night jasper]

how i fix?

[storm patio]

make the state name correct

though tbh if you use animator parameters, the code is much simpler

[exotic relic]

the controller would look like this

[night jasper]

i know but i dont know how to do it

[exotic relic]

Dang. Well, theres always other hobbies, winter is here you can learn ice skating instead of research skills.

[night jasper]

alr so helpfull. i just started its my first game you know that evreyone start somewhere right? you know you can help or not but dont act like this you know this right?

[exotic relic]

lol. im just saying, a quick youtube video can teach how to play a animation from code which will also teach you how to create the animator controller and animation

[summer crypt]

i cant install unity through setup huh

[night jasper]

you can just say that but thx anyway ig

[summer crypt]

can someone help me with installing unity ive been looking for a solution for a while now

[night jasper]

you tried click yes?

maybe it will work idk

[summer crypt]

it jst deletes everything and goes back to square one

[night jasper]

and no?

[summer crypt]

it closes and doesnt download

bothsame same

it gives me this which doesnt even open

when i click on it

[balmy kettle]

have you tried opening it from the start menu instead of a shortcut?

[summer crypt]

yup

same

runned as adminstrator

[night jasper]

try a youtube video that explain

[summer crypt]

cant find a single one

theyre all about validating which isnt the problem im looking for

[night jasper]

thats weird

[glossy topaz]

why do my characters now take this pose from muscles & settings menu

[exotic relic]

The exorcism was left behind in the last scene

[cobalt sequoia]

i deleted the map in my scene view and ctrl z isnt working what do i do?

[night jasper]

you saved it?

[glossy topaz]

problem solved, for very strange reason, because there was no animation occupying the hand bones it decided to curl up

[cobalt sequoia]

Wait after you save smth ctrl z doesn't work anymore????

[glossy topaz]

if u saved with the map then cant u relaod that save

[cobalt sequoia]

Oh my days and can't I find that in the trash bin?

[night jasper]

yeah

[cobalt sequoia]

Am I cooked?

[pearl oyster]

You've learnt the hard way a valuable lesson to always use version control

[cobalt sequoia]

No I have a backup

And version control too

And I didn't change too much

So its fine

[pearl oyster]

Ok so the problem was...?

[forest otter]

Got a question. Is Git useful for a solo dev or should I just not bother?

[craggy pollen]

sure, it is nice for version control and so much more

[cobalt sequoia]

It's just not that quick as just ctrl z

[forest otter]

Okay I thought it was only beneficial for teams, but I guess it's so that you can just pull it from a repo any time you delete the project folder

[sly lake]

Also make mistakes and revert them

[craggy pollen]

also to recover and go back to a certain point in your project if needed

[opaque acorn]

yo is unity worth using

as in

i read something bad happened regarding it a year or so back and everyone who made something with it was in panic

[night jasper]

yeah ig

[sly lake]

It was resolved.

[opaque acorn]

oh okay ty 🙏

[woeful quarry]

hello

guys, I need help with SuperTiled2Unity.

[night jasper]

i wanted to make animtions and they all work but crouching i mean i can crouch just fine but when i stand up is doing the crouch animation here is the movement code https://paste.mod.gg/qzyfrncsvmgq/0

[worldly cave]

how does your crouch to idle/run transition look like?

what parameter is driving it

[night jasper]

ill show just a sec

[woeful quarry]

@worldly cave you can help me??

[night jasper]

wait in line lol

[worldly cave]

have you debuged and ensured that "iscrouching" is getting changed when you uncrouch

[woeful quarry]

ok bro

[worldly cave]

it might be getting stuck on "true"

thats why you are always crouched after crouching once

[night jasper]

im not sure can you check on my code?

https://paste.mod.gg/qzyfrncsvmgq/0

[worldly cave]

what do you mean you arent sure?

start up the game and look at it lol

[night jasper]

oh its not stuck on true mb its just the animation

[carmine smelt]

do yall know where i can sell my blender models?

[night jasper]

you know how to help?

[night jasper]

assest store i think

[carmine smelt]

i mean like on discord bc idk asset store looks too complicated to me

[night jasper]

oh maybe it have a discord server or somthing idk

but you know maybe how to help me?

[carmine smelt]

wsp

[night jasper]

i wanted to make animtions and they all work but crouching i mean i can crouch just fine but when i stand up is doing the crouch animation here is the movement code https://paste.mod.gg/qzyfrncsvmgq/0

[worldly cave]

it might be your transition settings between crouch -> idle

[night jasper]

ill show you what it says

[worldly cave]

oh also

all of this should go into #🏃┃animation

not here

[carmine smelt]

sorry bro ur on ur own

[night jasper]

oh ok ill send it there

[amber patrol]

Every time I import a png it becomes a video in unity for some reason so I can’t drag them around how do I fix it

[worldly cave]

thats not a video.

[livid aurora]

guys is it worth learning C Sharp to get into unity for making games?

just a quick question

[worldly cave]

your image is located within that "package"

[worldly cave]

well if you plan to get inot unity for making games, you have to learn c#

theres no viable alternative

[livid aurora]

no i mean is all the learning
or should i just focus on some other engine.
im doing it solely because i like to learn things, not for a job or something

would you recommend it or no?

[worldly cave]

youre going to have to learn every engine

are you asking me if i would recommend unity?

sure

[livid aurora]

alright thanks alot man

[gusty fossil]

Unity changed the default sprite import to multiple for some unknown reason. Need to go to sprite settings and change to single if that’s what you want that arrow is meant for expanding the sprites within that asset

[amber patrol]

In projects? I done that many times nothing changed

[worldly cave]

click on the arrow

you should see an individual image pop up

thats your "image" you want to drag around

[gusty fossil]

If you are dragging multiple sprites into the scene view or project hierarchy it will auto try to create an animation clip out of the sprites. Those play symbols are not videos. It’s an arrow that allows you to expand the asset which shows the sprites detected on that asset.

[amber patrol]

So how do I remove it it’s making it so I can’t drag it it just shows this

[worldly cave]

press the arrows...

they will expand and reveal the ones you can

like previously stated... twice.

[gusty fossil]

Rule of thumb is to pack all your animation sprites into one file to reduce draw calls. Or else select all those individual assets and set to single on their sprite settings.

[amber patrol]

Sorry thought you were talking to someone else

[amber patrol]

My stuff is gonna all over the place this is mainly just a test project once I learn at least all the basics I’ll be more organised in my other works this is like day 2-3

Really confusing for beginners but I’ll try to push through

[plain dagger]

Unity has great documentation and learning resources so dont be afraid to go check it

[amber patrol]

Thx will do

[spiral wasp]

Guys i'm having trouble to create apk for my AR project

It just dont create the apk, anyone knows how to fix?

[plain dagger]

Im going to presume the build errors out, you need to check the long gradle output message to find what actually went wrong

[spiral wasp]

no error 😭

[plain dagger]

close and re open the editor to see if that message preventing you from starting a build goes away

hopefully you can read that and realise "Build" is disabled due to this

[spiral wasp]

that is screen is io took when when trying to build the apk

is disable because of this

[plain dagger]

hardly understand what you just said

[spiral wasp]

sorry i'm practincing my english too

you see is not disabled

[plain dagger]

thats good, press "Build" now and see if it starts and completes

[sudden ruin]

why is unity called this in my task manager even though the project has been open for a while now?

it's been open for about 5 mins now after just having crashed

[pearl oyster]

Well it's not going to be functioning normally after it has crashed

[sacred sand]

Does anyone have some alternatives to decal projector (or a tweak that will work with decals) ?

Im trying to project a decal on a moving game object 🙂

I was using decals for blood splatter, but I'm doing some cinematics, and the character moves while a wall is behind him, so I cant attach the projectors to the character either

[sudden ruin]

look into texture painting

[sudden ruin]

you could just make the depth be a small enough value so that this isnt an issue, no?

[sacred sand]

The character is squirming around the floor

The decals are just too big for depth to work, and making them smaller would look bad

[sudden ruin]

i see. you could make use of rendering layer masks in this scenario

[sacred sand]

I didn't thought of that, I'm gonna give it a try right away. Thanks

[junior path]

turns out that I spent so much $$$ on black friday unity assets that I overdrawed

not by much though ($10)

[lapis gate]

Anyone messed around with 6.3 beta and have experienced any major bugs? I really want to start making some terrain shaders

[fierce axle]

What's the current state of AI code assistants for Unity? I hear some people use Github Copilot, not sure how good it is and what other options exist.

[slow dirge]

For coding, you definitely want to use one of the solid services, like github copilot, codex, Claude code, etc... Something with ide integration is ideal.
Unity's AI assistant is supposedly trained on up to date unity relevant data and docs, so there's less chance of it failing with api changes between versions(but in practice this is rarely an issue anyway), as well as having access to your project context though. It can read assets and other files in your project and perhaps the scene too. As a relatively experienced dev with unity I don't find it that much useful currently though.
From trying it a little bit in unity 6.3, it feels like a very lacking solution in terms of coding(like not being able to review it's diffs, drag and drop files into it), and the model itself seems to be lagging behind the SOTA models(maybe on level of gpt 4.1).
Also, might want to move any further questions to #1202574086115557446

[fierce axle]

Thanks. So real quick, you would say Unity's AI Assistant is weak, but the AI coding assistants are very recommended?

[slow dirge]

Yes, but only if you are not a beginner. It would hurt your growth as a developer and might hurt your project in the long run too.

Unless you don't have plans to pursue a gamedev carrier beyond this one task.

[fierce axle]

I would primarily want it to ask simple questions or help solve specific math/physics issues. Or to trouble shoot any issues I might have - if it can understand the context of my project

I have coding experience, and what I am working on is just for fun

[slow dirge]

I see. Well try and see for yourself. Most of the mentioned tools have free tiers.

[fierce axle]

Any particular one you recommend?

It's hard to find thorough answers online it seems

Something that can integrate right into Visual Studio, preferably 2022 if possible

[slow dirge]

I've been switching between github copilot with premium models and open AI codex. Github copilot has a robust integration with the ide and good tool set for the models. And they have all the sota models available. Codex is tailored for open Ai models(gpt 5.1 codex max is crazy good), so they perform better with it(though, they are trained on Linux commands, so Linux or WSL is recommended). It's less integrated with the ide, but they're improving it often.

[slow dirge]

For integration, I said IDEs, but I really meant VS code. Other ides have way less support. I'm not sure of the state of VS 2026(i heard there's a lot of improvement), but generally, I think you're limited to github copilot with VS. And in vs 2022 it was a pretty poor integration.

[fierce axle]

ahh

[slow dirge]

Yeah, but it's pretty amazing how far we got in a few years. Yesterday I had github copilot with gemini 3 recover videos from a corrupted SD card. It's an area I have totally no experience with. But it actually managed to recovers fragments of videos. I'm sure a human specializing in the field would do better and faster(maybe not faster), but the fact that someone without knowledge in that area can get such results is pretty amazing.

is there a way to disable this pop-up / always ignore automatically?

[sweet tartan]

yes, by following the instructions in the docs it mentions

[sudden ruin]

a lot of the code isnt mine, so id rather not tamper with it.

no one here knows how the broken pieces are being created. once you know how to do that, destroying them is trivial. reach out to the asset author

[upbeat glen]

thanks

[vapid ore]

do i need to learn 2d when i specialize in 3d

[slow dirge]

You don't have to. But it can be nice to know. You never know when you might need that knowledge. Besides, it's probably not gonna take that long to complete.

[vapid ore]

maybe i will need it later, right now i don't have much idea about it, besides by the end of next year i want to launch my first game product so i am in a bit of a hurry

[vapid ore]

I downloaded the web version but unity still doesn't recognize it?

[copper gust]

have you restarted the project

[vapid ore]

Maybe not yet

[devout tundra]

hey

guys can i get help?

[polar pilot]

what's up?

[polar pilot]

what do you need help with?

[devout tundra]

i have a error in my project

can i call you to help me fix it?

@polar pilot

[polar pilot]

I'd rather not hop on vc

[devout tundra]

ok

[polar pilot]

can you screenshot it?

[devout tundra]

yea

one sec i have to bulid it so i can show you cause my thing does not bulid

[polar pilot]

it's not a syntax error right?

[devout tundra]

idk

@polar pilot

[polar pilot]

i don't know what that means but google probably does, if I had to guess it's some enum error

[devout tundra]

ok ty bro

[polar pilot]

generally speaking if there's an error in the console there you can just copy-paste it into a search engine and there is probably a stack overflow post with the same issue and the solution

yeah somehow Unity is trying to build to an invalid platform

which is giving the error

\Library\Bee was the culprit for somebody

[oak meadow]

If your game uses cloud save and has servers how do you set this up when you're working on the game do you just pay for the usage but also like if youre like testing a gamemode like how would your editor authenticate like my editor never made an account doesn't have a playerid or whatever that you can retrieve data from cloud save from

[azure pond]

how do you figure your editor isn’t authenticated?

in some important sense it must be, if unity cloud save is working

[oak meadow]

yeah that was kind of just an example but like i need to get the players stats and like how would i test certain data like if the player has level 5 selected maybe i could make an object that would set it in the inspector im not sure how that would work but then idk if it would work if im testing multiple players

[astral peak]

Hello everyone. I'm new in unity, literally downloaded 2 days ago. And I need some help and guidance.

I got some strange bug with terrain tool

[azure pond]

the reason you are paying for Unity Game Services is to be able to rely on its functionality without that kind of testing

is one POV. obviously if you want to test it you can, there are a bajillion ways to do that

[oak meadow]

i can test it without using like cloud save then just replace it with cloudsave that should work

[astral peak]

When I try painting a texture, it appears far from the brush and randomly far. Who can help to solve it?

[balmy kettle]

https://screenshot.help

[astral peak]

I looked up videos and AI and couldn't fix

[astral peak]

Sorry im using my phone right now

[astral peak]

So who knows what to do for brush to paint texture normally?

[buoyant citrus]

Can somebody help me resolve this issue?

[astral peak]

@polar pilot

[vivid cedar]

Update all packages to their latest versions and delete your Library folder

[astral peak]

Can you look into my problem also?

[whole gyro]

Hi

[astral peak]

Hi

[storm patio]

please do not pester random people for help

get a proper screenshot and ask in the proper channel, #⛰️┃terrain-3d

[buoyant citrus]

How do I do allat? I'm sorry i'm quite new

[vivid cedar]

In the package manager and your OS's file explorer, respectively

[buoyant citrus]

Done! now its showing me the red errors still in the pic

[vivid cedar]

Look up clearing the package cache too

[clever flume]

does unity have plans for making a new cloth/clothing system?

[buoyant citrus]

Ahh k

[rain furnace]

Where can I ask about TTS?

[storm patio]

in unity?

[rain furnace]

Yes

[storm patio]

have you tried researching that at all

[rain furnace]

Well, more or less

How I can use TTS offline for free in Unity and with a more or less normal female voice with a customizable tone?

[storm patio]

you'd probably want to find some library for that

[rain furnace]

Well, something like that

[storm patio]

google would be the place to start for that

[rain furnace]

Do you mean Google TTS?

[storm patio]

no, google search

[rain furnace]

Oh, well, okay, thanks for the help.

[arctic portal]

i have a unity terrain attached to a road in my project for infinite road generation. but when the road is rotate the terrain doesnt. how do i fix this issue? the road is the terrain's parent but the terrain doesnt rotate along with it

[copper gust]

im sorry to break the news but terrain doesn't rotate

you'd need to find some third party tool that could convert the terrain to a mesh

[stable sky]

how can terrain be made transparent?

[sly lake]

Custom shader

Though this sounds like a bad idea

If you want to fade it out, I’d consider dithering instead

[latent oasis]

Hey does anyone know how i can apply this shader to my terrain here? also maybe why it appears so dark in the bottem right view, it should look that same too that ground texture in my assets folder

[livid helm]

Hey have anyone worked with XR Origin + Cesium? I need help with an issue where i am rendering a polygon on a map but when using my AR phone it renders on my location when its supporet to be the other side of the country. Can someone help? need it for my school assignment

[craggy pollen]

you have it already on your terrain

[latent oasis]

I have that ground texture on the terrain but the shader is meant to break up the repetitive texture into something a bit more natural at a large scale just to use stochastic shaders for that

[gray salmon]

why is unity lagging so much? i dont have many things in the game, and this lagging issue never happened to me, i have 48gb of ram, and my whole pc only uses 37% of it. this is happening for 1-3 days, and idk how to fix it, maybe someone can help me?

[edgy oracle]

yo

[hearty grove]

what's your cpu?

[cyan lion]

unity does not need a lot of ram, specially the kind of scene you are working on

the lagging might be caused by something else

[earnest sluice]

Does anyone know what causes this sort of artefact in HDRP for sprites with a standard lit material?

[cyan lion]

also very W I D E

[earnest sluice]

Is my gfx card going to explode or something?

[cyan lion]

in hdrp is there no need to bake lights?

i heard someone in a video say lighting is realtime

but my hdrp scenes look bad regardless of whether i bake lighting or use real time...

[dark finch]

can someone help with finding right manual for creating a clickable UI image ?

[craggy pollen]

check the profiler, start trimming down things step by step

[gray salmon]

idk, but everything worked. but in the last 2-3 days it started to lag, and idk why

and i got a new ssd yesterday, but it cant be bc of it, right?

[craggy pollen]

What did you do 2-3 days ago, what have you changed?

you need to go step by step , use the unity profiler and debugging tools that unity provide

[gray salmon]

tbh, nothing. im doing the same thing for months. i always have spotify, blender, chrome and 2-3 other programs on, thats it

[craggy pollen]

well if you want to find out what´s wrong wiht your game you would have to exclude everything that doesnt have to do with unity. generally speaking close all the other apps.

[gray salmon]

mhh.., okay, ill test it

thank you

[craggy pollen]

this is how things work when you want to find out a problem

and after that #💻┃unity-talk message

[gray salmon]

👍

[near wigeon]

put button component or use the Ipointer interface

[main pagoda]

A way to bake your unity terrain trees into the nav mesh. Make sure your tree prefab has a collider, go to your tool bar and click the obstacle baker, This will spawn a capsule game object at every tree under a parent game object. Bake your nav mesh surface. Delete the Obstacle object. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t54KxhAJBqhRR2uepQDLlf-fLZ2FEry2ETttMv2oJb8/edit?usp=sharing

[near wigeon]

[undone monolith]

Which editor is recommended to download?

The LTS editor or the latest editor builds?

Normally I wouldn't ask this, but it's annoying seeing new versions everytime

[near wigeon]

LTS . for Long Term / Production projects
you can use the "latest" for testing new features

[tardy python]

can anyone tell why the keyboard keys keep getting aligned like this? i'm pretty sure everything is set to top left in the inspector... maybe there's something wrong with my code?

[near wigeon]

how should we know if all we see is this image...

[tardy python]

i'm getting there

[undone monolith]

Oh then definitely LTS

[near wigeon]

also I would check how it will look in your target aspect ratios, Free Aspect doesnt usually give a good feel to how it will look on users screen

[tardy python]

oh didnt even think of that. but yeah i switched it to 16:9 and its the same

[copper gust]

Worth noting it is aligned on the right side which feels like some accidental intentional choice

[near wigeon]

honestly Id use horizontal stack group and just put in the black keys relative to specific nots

working Unity UI is a pain tbh

[tardy python]

yeah i hate it lol

[copper gust]

Especially when messing with prefabs my lord

[near wigeon]

but yeah that initial offset looks like whats giving the right side the "spilling over"

did you set the anchor pivot point for the notes to be at top left?

[tardy python]

yes

[near wigeon]

looks like they still using the middlepoint

pivot not anchor

[plain dagger]

1. Those many Find() and GetComponents could be improved
2. Use layout groups to handle this work instead

Looks like you fight yourself by doing GetComponent everywhere for the same thing

[near wigeon]

yeah just serialize those

[plain dagger]

Or, get the main component once and use that reference instead of GameObject

[cyan lion]

Is your project stored in that SSD?

[near wigeon]

but would also go with a horizontal stack layoutgroup* like mentioned earlier, just need to a way to create the black notes as specific child of specific notes

[cyan lion]

How are we supposed to light an interior scene in HDRP

[near wigeon]

with..lights...

[cyan lion]

Should i bake lightmaps

Or keep it to realtime lights

How do i get realtime lights to do indirect lighting

[plain dagger]

You get better results with baked/mixed lights but less flexability at runtime

[cyan lion]

I tried ssgi but it looked like 💩

[woeful quarry]

Guys, I need help with supertiled2Unity

Could you help me?

[cyan lion]

I saw a video showing realtime lights being realistic

[plain dagger]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.4/manual/Override-Indirect-Lighting-Controller.html

[near wigeon]

maybe ?
sounds super specific to an asset
for most questions its gonna be did you RTFM?

[cyan lion]

I never get that result

[cyan lion]

I tried it too

[plain dagger]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.4/manual/Ray-Traced-Global-Illumination.html

[cyan lion]

Adam project i think. The one with bald guy.

[woeful quarry]

Can I talk to you on a DM?

[near wigeon]

no just ask your question , with specific details on the problem

[woeful quarry]

ok

[cyan lion]

I need ray tracing just to get decent lighting? I have rtx 3050 laptop it can't do ray tracing at playable frame rate. It can run ps4 era gamed well and cyberpunk too. I want to get decent lighting in unity using techniques used before ray tracing for games was introduced

[woeful quarry]

I'm getting these two errors and I don't know how to fix them. These are the errors: SuperTiled2Unity version: 1.10.7, Unity version: 2021.3.4f1
Could not generate asset path for '../../../../plataformas/Archivos Videojuego/mosaico.tsx'
Missing tileset asset: ../../../../plataformas/Archivos Videojuego/mosaico.tsx
and:
SuperTiled2Unity version: 1.10.7, Unity version: 2021.3.4f1
Could not generate asset path for '../../../../plataformas/Archivos Videojuego/mosaico.tsx'
Missing tileset asset: ../../../../plataformas/Archivos Videojuego/mosaico.tsx

[cyan lion]

Do i need to bake lightmaps for that?

[plain dagger]

To get realtime indirect GI/lighting then special post processing techniques like ray traced GI need to be used
If your hardware doesnt support this then start with baked light and look at adaptive probe volumes

[cyan lion]

I always have this problem where i make a good looking scene in blender and it looks like crap in hdrp. Even eevee looks better

[cyan lion]

Baking takes sooo long

[plain dagger]

🤷‍♂️

[cyan lion]

Baking lightmaps

And i still end up with ugly scenes

[near wigeon]

this sounds super specific to the asset itself, could be a path issue or maybe not..
you could try asking https://github.com/Seanba/SuperTiled2Unity/issues
is there a reason to not just use Unity Tilemap system ? a lot has improved since 2014 when this asset was made.
what is your path project ? are you using special characters in it ?
maybe it doesn't like whitespace in the path.. or perhaps permission issue somehow ? its hard to tell

[plain dagger]

You can also try with non ray traced SSGI: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.4/manual/Override-Screen-Space-GI.html
If you took some time to read the documentation you would discover the many options

[cyan lion]

It looks bad bro. Like weird.

[plain dagger]

omfg

cant please you can we 😆

[cyan lion]

I tried many things

But ended up with bad results

[woeful quarry]

Bro, to be honest, I don't really like tilemaps in Unity, but I'll give it a try.

[cyan lion]

But unity is the only engine i know to code in somewhat

So I can't even switch

[cyan lion]

Have you tried creating a photorealistic scene (interior) in unity HDRP?

[near wigeon]

have you looked at the HDRP demo scene ? the interior looks pretty nice..

[cyan lion]

Yeah but when i start with an empty project its hard to get that look.

[near wigeon]

no shit..

[cyan lion]

Or a new scene

[near wigeon]

..this comes down to skill issue, you probably need to better learn how HDRP works and how important the setup is

its not gonna look fantastic out the box

[copper gust]

Making photo realistic games is a very difficult task

[near wigeon]

certain materials need to be setup a certain way and so on

unity has tons of resources on HDRP workflows
they explain how they get that "look"

[karmic saddle]

is there way in unity to check what takes the most CPU / GPU ?

[near wigeon]

ofc. Profiler

[cyan lion]

I am not making a game but a interactive demo to showcase my 3d scenes

[craggy pollen]

are you sure you really need Hdrp?

[karmic saddle]

Profiler?
where do I find that

[near wigeon]

in Unity editor lol

[cyan lion]

Making any game is difficult to be real

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/Profiler.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjsqv8nj0cw @karmic saddle

[cyan lion]

What else do i use

[craggy pollen]

urp

[cyan lion]

I want photoreal graphics

[craggy pollen]

well you can achive that with urp too

[near wigeon]

start with this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqCHiZrgKzs

and such

they have many topics like this you just gotta look and understand the pipeline better

[cyan lion]

I haven't tried urp just the demo scene that comes i played that

It was cool

[near wigeon]

its not a magic "make my shit realistic " flow out-the-box

[cyan lion]

What does out of the box good graphics even mean. People say unreal gives out of the box real graphics but unity requires hdrp setup

I have heard this a lot

[near wigeon]

urp or hdrp both require setup to get a certain look

[karmic saddle]

tbh is it too many verts that drop my FPS or idk

I am trying to achive at least clean 144FPS

[near wigeon]

ok but this primitive stats window wont get you anywhere

[cyan lion]

Is there something better in unity?

[near wigeon]

uh the built in profilers ?

[cyan lion]

Never used

[near wigeon]

like the Frame Debugger etc

[karmic saddle]

lets not talk about this

[surreal echo]

Guys, my friend called Blender a game engine

what do y'all think

[karmic saddle]

1251 MS FROM PHYSICS???

[near wigeon]

this isn't a unity editor topic, therefore not important for this server

[cyan lion]

It used to have a game engine but it was removed. Its a 3d software not a game engine

[near wigeon]

also no off-topic so whocares what your friend thinks

[cyan lion]

Remember when blender had a game engine lmao

[craggy pollen]

i hate blender (more offtopic sry nav)

[cyan lion]

Skill issue

[sly lake]

In the editor? Impossible

[rancid talon]

The blender game engine is actually still being maintained as a community fork "UPBGE"

[sly lake]

Profile builds, not the editor. Editor performance is worse.

[cyan lion]

Is there any reason to use it? Over unity

[rancid talon]

No

[cyan lion]

Or even godot

[sly lake]

Blender recommends Godot

[rancid talon]

It's just an option.

Blender themselves recommend Godot lol

[sly lake]

I think that says it all

[rancid talon]

Or even Unity

[near wigeon]

🥱

[cyan lion]

I dont know godot

[cyan lion]

Nav mesh

[rancid talon]

Godot is an okay engine... Not common in the industry so would be tough to find jobs with it

[cyan lion]

Do you speak hindi rational rama? Your name sounds a bit indian.

[rancid talon]

Yes I do

Hindi, English, Punjabi, I took some french in uni years ago but I have forgotten most of that

[karmic saddle]

this is maximum number of layers or can I somehow have more?

[copper gust]

Nope

[sly lake]

It's the maximum

The entire thing is a single int32 per object

[storm patio]

man, why isn't a uint32. that bothers me for some reason

just noticed that too

[sly lake]

Doesn't matter for bitwise. They're not treating it as an int, just a block of 32 bits

[storm patio]

yeah, ik... 😮‍💨

[storm patio]

i.. don't think that really makes sense given the question?

for each object, it's a layer index, not a layermask

[storm patio]

(not saying it's wrong, just not relevant to what was asked)

[karmic saddle]

so I have to be carefull creating layers

WELL FUCK

[storm patio]

well, you never really create them, you just assign the existing indices

[sly lake]

Pretty rare to run into this.

[karmic saddle]

oh yea

how do I unlock FPS in editor since rn I am stuck at 144FPS no matter what I do

[near wigeon]

if you're going over the layer amount, you might have a design issue

[sly lake]

Disable vsync

[karmic saddle]

yea and where do I find that

[sly lake]

Project settings > quality

[copper gust]

And where you select resolution in the game view

[karmic saddle]

;-;

[sly lake]

Nvidia control panel has something to say about it too

Might be forced on

[karmic saddle]

but if I play on multiplayer Play Mode
the player 2 doesnt have locked FPS

it goes over 500FPS without issues

[copper gust]

Check here too

[sly lake]

Ok but why are we caring about playmode FPS again? 😅

[karmic saddle]

since they directly impact the build no?
the more FPS in editor = optimised game no?

[sly lake]

Not necessarily. Bottlenecks in editor may not exist in the build at all

[karmic saddle]

I mean yea

its hard to optimise when editor is trolling

[sly lake]

Not just that.

[karmic saddle]

@sly lake can I somehow link profiler to build?

[sly lake]

Yeah, it's a checkbox in the build menu

Debug builds can connect to the profiler automatically

[sly lake]

Some things might show up as a big deal in editor profiler because they do extra work in the editor, but then in the build they don't do that extra work so they're suddenly 0.01ms or something

[karmic saddle]

I guess this would be setup correctly?

[sly lake]

Yep, should work

[karmic saddle]

now lets wait 5mins for the build to get built

[gray salmon]

Yeah, I transferred the whole project to a portable Samsung SSD, then I brought back the project to the new SSD in my pc

[novel kelp]

how do i set up UDIM textures in unity?

[sly lake]

Maybe try #🔀┃art-asset-workflow. UDIM is a bit obscure for this fast-moving channel.

[south summit]

THE GOLDEN QUESTION: Is it possible to create a selective object randomizer that will accept any random object except the one it previously received, in order to avoid spamming it visually?

[daring mulch]

Hello can anybody help me why i cant start a new project?

[storm patio]

you described it successfully, so yes

[storm patio]

don't put your projects in onedrive

no clue if that's the issue, but you shouldn't do it

[sly lake]

Oh, yeah. That'll break your builds

[daring mulch]

where do i need to put my project then?

[sly lake]

Anywhere else

Create C:/Projects, for example

[daring mulch]

oke thank you (:

[weary radish]

Hi guys

I want to edit one mod but idk how to do it

idk If this is good server to ask this question

but can someone help me how can I edit mod that is in .dll

format

[sly lake]

No, we don't really deal with modding questions here. They tend to be fairly game-specific.

[weary radish]

Sadly there is no tutorial for modding this specific game

Most of the people were propably using some tool or tutorial for modding unity games

[modest meteor]

ask the mod's creator or the game's community

[weary radish]

modding scenes is dead and discord server

I only find tutorials to modding models and music

[karmic saddle]

I didnt know that build hates debug logs until Now

Yea for some reason everytime debug log gets called the cpu usage skyrockets

For no reason

[violet thunder]

It writes the log to a file on your disk

[karmic saddle]

Well now I Gotta make logs editor only

[craggy pollen]

yeah you won´t have that in your built, but we already told you

[violet thunder]

Filip mentioned it happening in a build

It does write to a player log file in a built game too, right?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/log-files.html

[daring mulch]

it still doesnt work

[sly lake]

Do you have enough disk space?

If so, try a different template maybe

Also

!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.

[daring mulch]

stil 8,5 gigabite

[daring mulch]

i did

[daring mulch]

wdym?

[gray salmon]

thats not much. you need more space

[daring mulch]

wdym how much u have?

what should i need

[gray salmon]

pc storage?

[storm patio]

a project takes <2GB

[daring mulch]

yeah left

[storm patio]

well, a small one

a starting one would probably be much smaller

like, 1GB

[gray salmon]

yeah, but if u add things, then you need more storage, i created a unity project, i only added a few things, and its already 7-8gb

[storm patio]

that isn't the problem at hand

[gray salmon]

1.5tb..
but thats not necessary, i think 5-10gb is good

[daring mulch]

but i cant even start a project

[gray salmon]

did u try this? https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497872424281440267/1444751272396853341

[forest otter]

So I saw in the 6.4 alpha they took out the built in render pipeline

My guess is that they are starting to simplify the pipelines

[daring mulch]

what is that?

[modest meteor]

they did state at some point that they're planning to merge everything into a single pipeline again

[forest otter]

Yeah but I thought that would come with like 6.5 LTS or something like that

Or 6.7

So what will the simplified pipeline do? Will we still get features for high fidelity?

[daring mulch]

do i heard 677777?

[gray salmon]

nvm, when creating a project, there is an extra line which says "location". i put my projects here:

1. C:\Users\yourUser\Documents\unity-games\GameName
   or
2. C:\Users\yourUser\Documents\GameName

[storm patio]

that shouldn't really matter much, just shouldn't be in a synced location

and should have perms, at least.

[storm sierra]

I just heard about the whole unity and epic deal, how does that affect me as a indie dev?

[gray salmon]

i only said where i put mine, so its an example 🙃

[stuck flower]

You can now make fortnite games in unity

[forest otter]

So does anyone know how the Simplified RP will work? Will we get features from URP and HDRP in one pipeline?

[storm sierra]

Couldn't I sort of always do this?

[stuck flower]

I have only just found out that you can make content for fortnite at all.

I thought it was just a Battle Royale with a lot of skins

[modest meteor]

most likely yeah. the unified pipeline will be customizable or something

[forest otter]

I'm just imagining it working like it did before Unity 5 but better

[exotic relic]

When selecting a gamemode, they are covered with peoples games, that no are not exactly fortnite. it just uses the character controller similar to unitys standard assets, but you can entirely create the game how you want.

Unreal engine is neat, comes with tons of tools, and multiplayer is already built with a couple of clicks. The thing I have against it is the blueprints & c++. I honestly enjoy C# so much more, and I believe that unity is way more organized. Creating a game in unity is significantly easier regardless of what tools unreal offers. Besides the fact that they now have AI to generate blueprints for you lol.

[fiery stone]

in which # do i ask a question?

[balmy kettle]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[fiery stone]

find a channel says unity-talk

so i guess here

[balmy kettle]

if you cannot find another appropriate channel that covers the topic of your question, then yes. here is the last resort.

[fiery stone]

installed unity today, first image shows how it looks like in tutorial, second how looks at my locally, how to make it look like that i cant find an option

[balmy kettle]

zoom slider in bottom right

[near wigeon]

just scroll wheel it (hold ctrl ?)

or zoom slider

[fiery stone]

ah jesus

thx

[vivid cedar]

ah sorry I was slow

[tardy python]

hey guys, i am trying to create a piano roll interface for my piano game and i'm wondering what the best way to do it would be. i've got the keys at the top working but now i need to create a grid below it so the user can place notes under each key. but i need to be able to do it in a way that the number of columns is dynamic according to the number of octaves selected and how many keys there are per octave. i was thinking about tiling buttons and giving each of them an onclick event, but that would be a ton of objects if we're making a song that's a few minutes long. what are your guys thoughts?

[vivid cedar]

you'd use prefab ui elements basically. As for the performance concerns you can try to make a recycler view style system

[tropic oyster]

what is the best way to dynamically reference assets and data/scriptable objects? ie procedural generation, item drops, serialization/deserialization? According to google it's recommended to use either addressables or a scriptable objects "database". as opposed to my registry method

[inland river]

what specifically do you mean by "dynamically referencing"? if you procedurally generate the stuff, you can inject the references during that process.

[tropic oyster]

I mean like creating a "chunk" (16x16 grid of tiles in a tilemap)
i want the chunk to have 50% "grass" tiles and 50% "rock" tiles
so I need to reference grass tiles or rock tiles

[inland river]

you reference them in the script that does the chunking

[tropic oyster]

like inspector references?

[inland river]

i would assume thats what you've been talking about

[tropic oyster]

I want something a little less manual

Right now I have several dictionarys with references to object instances etc. And I'm hitting that to get the info

[inland river]

and whats the problem with that?

[tropic oyster]

I wasn't sure if it was an anti-pattern

Because my registry object will get progressively massive

[inland river]

in itself that doesnt give much information to judge what you have, but dependency injection is certainly not an antipattern

[tropic oyster]

tileRegistry.Add("ground_stones", Resources.Load<TileData>("Tiles/ground_stones"));

and then like

TileBase dereferenced = registry.tileRegistry["ground_stones"].tile

[inland river]

if the data in that collection isn't redundant, then the size of it is natural, the data has to be somewhere

[inland river]

that looks like youre doing something very wrong

[tropic oyster]

this has been what i suspected lol

[inland river]

i think you're missing or misunderdstanding something fundamental about unity here

but i can't pinpoint yet what that is

there is practically never a reason to use Resources.Load()

you could say Resources.Load() is something you would expect to use if your mental model of an engine has no proper editor tooling

in unity you generally can avoid path-references entirely, you reference the asset as a serialized pointer

[loud tartan]

@inland void

[tropic oyster]

everything after the comma is foreign to me lol

Ik about SerializeField

That's about it

[inland river]

thats a serialized pointer when it references an asset

[tropic oyster]

ok

But I guess I don't want to have to manually add the asset to the inspector for every class I make

registry.tileRegistry["tilename"] and poof. I have it

But idk if that's an anti-pattern and if it will hurt performance

[inland river]

you can automate the referecing by writing little scripts to run in the editor

but referencing stuff this way in unity is fundamental to its editor workflow

if you prefer to work mostly with code, you can make some global dictionaries of your assets and use these at runtime to address your assets. it would be easiest for those to be built from serialized references

[tropic oyster]

That is basically what I am doing
edit: I guess without serialized references

[inland river]

if you use resource.load, you're largely ignoring the editor as a platform for custom tooling and authoring

[ruby pawn]

Could ANYBODY help with this, I have been ripping my hair out over it for the past 5 hours

[tropic oyster]

I mean for certain things I rely heavily on serialized references. I guess I'm just not understanding the unity way of doing what I want to be doing, and if I'm thinking about the problem incorrectly

[inland river]

maybe its just your distaste for manually referencing stuff that pushes you into a certain solution that might be improved

but tbh, its not wrong what you are doing on any absolute scale, its just not whats commonly done in unity

[tropic oyster]

that sounds about right. I kind of don't like the serializeField flow. I don't understand how things are sewn together under the hood and it feels like black magic and hard to reason around lol

[tropic oyster]

my model is based on minecraft which uses a registry for classes etc

i guess I'm more concerned about whether my way hurts performance. Ultimately it does load all the assets into memory I believe, which depending on how many I have may be a problem

[inland river]

unity is an engine that is very mature, this means it aims to give you tools to make your game fully data driven, as such the serialized fields (references and values) are supposed to be configuration for semi-generic/reusable/composable systems that operate on that configuration.

[blissful otter]

Quick question out of curiosity because I wanna put keyboard controls into my game as an option

What are typical keyboard controls for a fighting game?

[tropic oyster]

like a street fighter?

or like souls

[blissful otter]

I have left, right, jump, crouch, block, high kick, low kick, high punch, low punch, and a projectile move

[blissful otter]

No like a Street Fighter

[elder haven]

Does anyone know where I can buy realistic hair assets for Unity? The Unity store seems to only have stylized ones

[inland river]

JKLUIO + WASD

[blissful otter]

I have my game due on the 9th for my class and I have a laundry list of stuff I want and have to do

But I wanted to start with that because it's arguably the easiest thing to add

[tropic oyster]

I think like
a,d left right
x crouch
cz low attacks
w jump
qe high attacks
f projectile
r block

[inland river]

JKL for punches UIO for kicks, WASD for movement, the rest are combinations

that is a 1:1 mapping with a dedidcated controller

[blissful otter]

Although after that I want to try and add actual controller prompts and switching and stuff, then make a menu, then fix animation and try to add to the combat system and everything

In order of easiest to hardest imo

[blissful otter]

Ok the WASD was a big thing because I knew some games also incorporate space for the jump

[inland river]

it depends on the subgenre you are copying, street fighter does use only 4+6 keys, that doesn't mean that you can't rebind some of them

WASD is not comfortable for a fighting game like SF

[blissful otter]

It's kinda weird, I'm trying to take from a bunch of different games

It's a rap-based fighting game

[inland river]

there are a lot of fighting game subgenres

[blissful otter]

Like maybe Def Jam but 2.5D

[inland river]

so not streetfighter then, more like tekken?

[blissful otter]

Nah def Street Fighter, they're not able to turn

[inland river]

whats the 2.5D about? just graphics?

[blissful otter]

Like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat type is what I'm going for cause those are the fighting games I primarily play

[blissful otter]

Yeah

[worldly cave]

i still think the shield popup billboarding is being caused by that custom shader you are using

if this is the same game im thinking off

[blissful otter]

The one thing that makes it actually have some form of music to it and not just be a straight up fighting game is the projectile is chargable and when released, it comes out as a music note

[blissful otter]

Yes it is

The hardest part is trying to fix the combat issues and add to it

[night jasper]

using UnityEngine;

public class playermovement2d : MonoBehaviour
{
public CharacterController2D controller;
float horizontalMove = 0f;
public float runSpeed = 40f;
bool jump = false;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
   horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
{
    
     jump = true;
}

}
void FixedUpdate()
{
    controller.Move(horizontalMove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, false, jump);

jump = false;



}

}

i used that code for jump why cant i jump?

also #💻┃code-beginner

[blissful otter]

What I was working on before was just the tutorial but there's not much I have to add to it for the actual game

[worldly cave]

probably because you are setting jump to false in fixedupdate

[near wigeon]

also horrid way to make a jump

[blissful otter]

Besides like a health system fs and some other things

[worldly cave]

also you are using bools where you should be using states/enums

also the better practice is to have a "grounded" bool rather than a jump one

in general

[night jasper]

i tried to remove it but it didnt work

[blissful otter]

Rebinding's something I might wanna add later

I gotta try and make settings when I get to making the menu

[worldly cave]

add some debugs lines and see whats being called

add something like

Debug.Log("Jump pressed!");

under your input for the jump

[night jasper]

i did alrady it worked

[blissful otter]

I'm hoping I can get to do everything on the list I want to and have a nice finished product before the due date since I don't have a crazy ton of time

Because I also have finals I gotta study for and stuff like that

[worldly cave]

kinda unrelated but trust me, use trello for to do lists like this

way more manageable

[blissful otter]

Yeah I usually use ToDoist for my assignments but for just this one thing I don't mind just making a doc for it atm

I mean it's the first game I'm ever making and it's for one of my classes so it's not gonna be anything professional but I want it to come out at least decent

Decent enough that it would look cool to put on my LinkedIn and resume

Actually scratch the 9th I have till the 12th now thank God I just got an email from my professor 😭 🙏

After I finish the keyboard stuff tho, first thing I wanna do is fix some issues I'm having with my projectile

[clever flume]

does unity have plans for making a new cloth/clothing system?

[near wigeon]

https://unity.com/roadmap

[clever flume]

I guess a followup is are there any widely used Unity Clothing Assets or is it more niche / DIY

[glass kraken]

Hi, I have an issue with my transitions, it gets stuck on Turn right and doesnt transition to the next state

[clear hearth]

Hello everyone

I need your help

[pearl oyster]

You can just ask without declaring that every time

[clear hearth]

Yeah

I want to create and develop for Meta Quest 2 or 3.

How can I do that

[glass kraken]

watch tutorials on the unity learn website

they have a VR pathway if I remember correctly

[clear hearth]

But I don't have any time

I need to know;

How do I add a ready room?

How do I arrange the room?

How do I connect to the player?

[glass kraken]

then how could you develop a game?

[clear hearth]

1 or 2 days

[near wigeon]

bro make pong or something

clearly you aint ready

[worldly cave]

what is with the monkey tag players or whatever coming here wanting to make the next big vr game without wanting to actually put in the effort towards making a game 🤔

[near wigeon]

its simple really

the player base tells you everything you need to know

[clear hearth]

Hey mate. Please calm down. I'm getting support from you here. Please don't misunderstand.

[glass kraken]

watch a tutorial on a simple VR game and maybe you could make it within a short amount of time

[worldly cave]

bruh why are you telling me to calm down it was just a question 💀

[clear hearth]

I thought he got angry when he saw the message I sent.

[clear hearth]

Colud you please share with me?

The link

[nocturne relic]

I'm having issues with light baking but I'm not sure where to post those now since the lighting channel has been removed

[worldly cave]

what kind of issues.

also i think the question would go into #1390346776804069396

[nocturne relic]

I will head there, thank youu

[fair cove]

Personally, I have not yet seen any game made to completion in under a week, let alone 1 or 2 days, there is a lot that goes into games that simply cannot be covered in just 2 days (and thats assuming you run into zero issues with debugging, programming and art and zero technical issues with Unity itself, the device your testing with and external software and source control), even game jams usually go longer than 2 days for that reason

[elder jolt]

Hello Guys, at a distance everything keeps disappearing, how can i fix this? Thank You

[sudden ruin]

increase your far clipping planes value on the scene camera

[hard relic]

How could I open multiple editor windows on linux? I want to test my multiplayer game.

[sudden ruin]

you run multiple builds to do this, not multiple versions of the editor

[hard relic]

Okay, thanks. I wanted to see it in the editor but builds will also work.

[near wigeon]

use ParrelSync

Unity Multiplayer Play Mode but don't think it works in linux
yea..nohttps://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.multiplayer.playmode@2.0/manual/index.html#compatibility

ParrelSync should work fine though
https://github.com/VeriorPies/ParrelSync?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-platform

each copy does have a decent size, but works similar to Git, saved changes are automatically detected in other editors but sure as hell beats waiting a build each time / change

[gray frigate]

ParrelSync has worked great on macOS, at least

[near wigeon]

Yea its a good asset for sure, I do use multiplayer playmode now cause it doesnt require multiple unity editors to run or have a copy folder each instance , still a solid choice esp if still using unity pre-6

[hardy rose]

Not really a programming question, and im not sure if it falls under anything, but when trying to make a game that is extremely openly moddable, but you want it to be accessible, and not endanger clients w/ mods (a scripting language) whats the best way to actually load assets multiplayer cause i feel like its hard

[near wigeon]

thats up to developer to control and possibly sanitize the code that tries to reach the client

[dense reef]

@hardy rose You can allow player use only available in game assets it will save you from add people to much freedom and create bad content

[hardy rose]

I am the developer

[near wigeon]

so then step2.

[dense reef]

You can create in game editor mode and save system

Like in Warcraft for example it has editor that allow players create and script the maps

If you wanna allow players upload any asset you will need to moderate every upload from players

[elder jolt]

i fixed it

i clicked on an object and clicked f and it worked

[hardy rose]

Steam workshop?

Cause im tryna to make a sandboxy game

[dense reef]

If it is already moderated you integrate it in your game

[hardy rose]

Fair enough

[dusky folio]

Hey I have an issue on unity when I am using easyroads or similar assets and I do shift click to place roads nods it just doesn’t work

Is this because I don’t have the good device, version,…?

[spiral steppe]

Wow. Just realized that you can have material height and such in URP xD

After 5+ years of unity no less

[slow dirge]

I don't think the device has anything to do with it.
For a specific asset, you'll need to contact the author or report a bug. After making sure you've read the asset documentation and not making any mistakes on your end.
Or you could try debugging the asset yourself. Read it's code, learn how it works, use the debugger or logs to investigate the issue.

[warm verge]

hey guys

i need some hel´p

cant log in in unity hub

anyone knows how to help?

[near wigeon]

not likely

cant log in in unity hub
you outta be more specifc

[warm verge]

here, when i click sign in this screen pops up, when i check it again nothing happens

[near wigeon]

so did you click link to login page

[warm verge]

yes

[warm verge]

nothing happens

[near wigeon]

try assigning a different browser as default

or try google "magnet links not working on [insert your browser]"

unless thats in hub then could be something else blocking app from opening links, you can check the hub logs
