recorded this last week in class, how can i achieve this appearing effect in unity?

[near wigeon]

emission map most likely

[dense sentinel]

no for the ice part

[near wigeon]

shaders probably

[fleet canopy]

hello, i am working on a minimap for my game, but noticed that it lacks any form of depth or something to show elevation. I was wondering how i could achieve a convincing enough effect where the player can discern heights of stuff on the map?

Currently my minimap is an ortho camera facing down upon the player. (and the player is the big grey box lmao)

[near wigeon]

https://youtu.be/inht8WYX-A4

[dense sentinel]

that is not what i am looking for

it's like a noise texture is being used to drive the opacity

[hybrid stirrup]

My guess is that there is a ramp (from black to white) that is used on a shader to determine how much of the material to show.

The texture probably has an alpha channel that references the current ramp's value to control the effect.

The ramp's value would be controlled programmatically.

[dense sentinel]

I know how I can achieve it but I don’t know how in unity

[blissful otter]

Alright, so I'm not sure why, but my controls are working for Xbox and keyboard, but not my PS5 controller

Do I need to make separate maps for Dualshock and Dualsense or is the general Playstation controller one supposed to work?

Ok nvm I just tried it and it seems to be a problem with Playstation in general

Which is weird cause it was working before even when I added the Xbox controls

But as soon as I added keyboard it screwed with it

@inland river any ideas?

[regal flax]

why is it not letting me drag materials on my avatar when i press the red record button on the animation window?

[brisk rivet]

That's a lot of Tris

[copper gust]

Hi

I’m in need of assistance

I need to learn how to make a model copy the movements of my player

[copper gust]

tyvm, im coming for that lethal money 😛

[cedar cobalt]

Would anyone know how to do that

[blissful otter]

I tried restarting Unity, same issue

It's so weird, I even unplugged my Dualsense and plugged my Xbox and it worked but switched back to Dualsense, nothing

I have all of the PS controller types in my scheme

How do I implement encryption in Addressables?

[pearl oyster]

Ask #📦┃addressables . But if you want to prevent people from ripping assets it's not going to work

[orchid latch]

Guys anyone knows how flatout 2 graphics would be called? Its retro but its more of a radical retro style, i want to see if there are tutorials to making games with that cool old look

I've seen other games that look like that so i know it was a trend, like how ultra street fighter looked

[wintry flame]

Are there any tutorials on how to make roblox type vfx inside of unity

[sudden ruin]

looks like ps2/ps3 era graphics

[dreamy snow]

anyone has seen an issue wher preview window shows animations in one look but when u actualy play game that same mesh same animatin is different ?

i have this runing animation.. ii got from mixamo.. in mixamo preview it plays oke,, in unity preview it works okay but when its actualy in the scene the legs of character are way to close to eathc other .. and it looks like character has shit his pants or what not

[orchid latch]

Yea they gave me that too, but i wanted to know a label that is a little more specific, because ps2/ps3 will also get other styles like the old god of wars or shadow of the collosus that give a completely different vibe

[exotic relic]

Are you using it on a new character? Maybe the bones don’t line up.

If it’s the same character, you could try opening the controller and clicking on one of the animations and enabling IK Pass.

There’s some good clothing assets on the store if you need to change the pants

[dreamy snow]

well yeah its same character, rig is from mixamo . i havnt seen this thing before..

and in mixamo preview the mesh defors okay and i npreview within unity as well but in actual gameplay mode it does not..

its not about the pants.. or clothes its about bones 😄

and i believe IK pas is enabled by default ?

here are 2 images one is from preview otheri s from play mode

ik pass does not do anything at this point

[exotic relic]

Figured it’s worth a try as it increases the accuracy. Without it the animation will skip lots of frames to save performance

[exotic relic]

Is the animation set to humanoid? Maybe some configuration is off

You can check under the Rig tab I believe

[dreamy snow]

everything is as always i hanvt touched these things

its jsut strange as in preview its okay but in play mode its like that

yeah they are humanoid

[random bramble]

Can I publish a mobile game on itch.io with unity ads

[sly lake]

Yes, should work

[elder jolt]

Can somebody help me with this?

How can i rotate the material on the building

it's upwards?

changing the tiling doesn't work and changing the offset has no impact aswell

[slow dirge]

You can't. It's the mesh uvs that are the problem. You could do a triplanar sampling shader if you want it to work in world space regardless of the mesh uvs. Otherwise, you'll need to modify the mesh uvs in blender or something.

[elder jolt]

ah

[mighty osprey]

Kind of had a funny story from work today. Just sent the test build of a work project to one of our higher-ups the other day, and got a message saying "the build wasn't working".

I was like oh god because while back I ended up getting a critical error that messed up my Unity VR builds so badly, I had to completely remove unity and reinstall it from scratch. I was worried it somehow happened again (despite the build working on my end).

But no, as it turns out, the build worked fine, they just didn't like the placement of one of the characters and wanted me to move around a few other environmental objects 😅 Like thanks boss, almost had a heart attack lol. But thankfully it's all good now

[storm patio]

-# that's a funny story but just fyi this isn't a place for offtopic

[mighty osprey]

Oops, sorry! I thought it was Unity-related, I can can delete my post or move elsewhere if you would like

[storm patio]

well, im not a mod, but considering it's not breaking any other rules, you can probably leave it (just that further discussion might be shut down)

[night jasper]

bro i dont know why but every day after i work on my project its getting deleted i saved it every time and it happend a lot i dont know why pls help its not its deleted just theres nothing there

[tall hearth]

Are you sure its deleting or is the folder being lost by the unity hub? Like if you went and clicked the add existing project and looked at where your projects are stored in explorer is it there?

If so i would assume it's just unity removing it due to a sudden crash

[night jasper]

i opend my project and there is no game

oh never mind i opend the worng project my bad

[tall hearth]

Oh well then are you opening the correct project? Do you save before you close it?

[short grove]

Yo sorry here but how do you actyually update an editor here?

[storm patio]

you don't, you install a new version

[short grove]

Like new version of itself or do all these have the alert

cause I tried a re-install earlier to no luck

[storm patio]

the security alert is tied to the version, the build of the editor, not your specific install

you would install a newer patch version that doesn't have the security alert

[proper blade]

Any idea why objects/props with LODs don't appear in build and are invisible? The collisions are there, but the models are invisible. If I disable the LOD group, they show, but the LOD Group breaks it in build, what's going on?

I'm using Unity 6000.2.7f2.

[undone monolith]

does anyone know what this error means?

[mild radish]

is there a way to cull a model (like using layers and setting the culling on the camera).. without getting rid of the shadow it casts?

[mild radish]

it means the script its referring too is trying to use some "Type" that can't be found.. (doesn't exist).. its asking you if you are missing a using statement..

like for example i couldn't use Image
like: public Image myReferenceImage;
without using the using UnityEngine.UI

if thats not your script (could be an editor bug or corrupted or incomplete Library)
you can shut down Unity and go into the project folder and find the Library folder...
delete it.. and then restart the project in Unity
[It'll automatically rebuild the Library with everything it needs in reference to the project]

-# its something to do with the 2D Package / and/or Aesprite stuff i guess.. no clue tbh

[undone monolith]

should i restart the hub too?

@mild radish even after deleting the library, i'm still getting that error

[tawny quail]

iirc mesh renderers have a setting for rendering mode, and one should be "shadow only" (isn't layers but is an option)

[undone monolith]

can anyone help me with this?

[mild radish]

cool ill check that out 👍

[mild radish]

yup thats the ticket

[mild radish]

ya thats the only "fix" i know for those issues

u could try updating or reimporting that package

[undone monolith]

when i'm using 6.2, i don't have those issues

but when i'm trying the 6.0 LTS, i have that

[mild radish]

do you even use the Aesprite importer thingy?

i think thats what the issue is coming from

[undone monolith]

i want to use 6.0 LTS since i don't want to update whenever there's a new version

[undone monolith]

what's that again 😅

[mild radish]

its originating from the 2D package... possibly that last package

try updating it and/or reimporting it

[undone monolith]

ok i have that in 6.2

lemme check 6.0 lts rq

[mild radish]

it might just be out of date.. or corrupted somehow

[undone monolith]

corrupted could be a possibility

since i moved the project files to the windows laptop i'm using rn from a macOS desktop

[mild radish]

ohh yea.. i'd just remove the 2d package and then re-install it via the package manager

should fix it up 🤞

[undone monolith]

I'll try that

@mild radish OH YED

YESS

IT WORKED

Is there anyone having issues regarding fetching Subscriptions using Unity IAP 5? Or can give me a quick explanation how to do that when we have a subscription with different active plans (like 1 month and 6 months)?
Please 🙏🏻

[safe garden]

quick q - is there an easy way to make a mesh play a sound when you step on it? I'm thinking like giant piano keys

would it need scripting I guess?

[copper gust]

scripting yes

[short grove]

Question did unity 6 have some sort of multiplayer stuff to allow multiple clients?

[void surge]

so i have a question i made a little game its not finished yet but it runs in unity everything is fine no errors im trying to build and run it cuz i need to check it from the client side and it literally just says failed and NOTHING else any suggestions?

[copper gust]

should have errors in the console?

[void surge]

this is the WHOLE consol

it literally just says failed

ive had some problems before but it always told me what the heck it was😭

[balmy kettle]

if that's really the only thing there, then try restarting the editor then attempt to build again

[old ember]

Today I was creating a simple 2D game in Unity 6.2 with the latest updates. Three times Unity froze dead at the start of an action, and other applications on the computer stopped responding. I had to kill the process in the Task Manager. I'm outraged! I can't remember the last time I had to kill an application process in the Task Manager using Windows 10, and I had to do this in the best game engine! It's good that the projects were empty. But what if the projects had a lot of content, with a lot of work going on? Tell me, does this happen in Unreal Engine or Godot? I can send you the error messages if I find the Unity logs.

[vivid river]

use any other editor version if its too heavy?

[copper gust]

i have not used unity 6 much but i have had great personal experience with 2022 LTS and i have heard very rough stuff about 6.2

[vivid river]

I had 2021.3.45f1 and unity 6.000 beacause 2021.2 had Security issue so i cam migrate to 6

[lone flower]

Is unity more stable/better on linux or windows? Which version is most stable on ubuntu 24.04?
I am using 2022.6f21 on windows, but I think about installing ubuntu 24.04 on new machine.

Which game dev programs do I lose (or have unstable) on ubuntu 24.04 conparing to windows?

[vivid river]

I've used unity 2022-(1).x on my other pc that had Debian running, i didn't had any problems, and since Linux is more resource friendly so it won't cause any performance issues

[stiff quest]

From my experience on both i had no any issues on both

In linux i sometimes get inspector bug that some fields dont show up if you dont re select object i dont get bothered

[mild radish]

my pleasure 🫡

[hushed hamlet]

For console support, we had to juggle license files a bunch. You could launch the editor with a specific license by command line too... Not sure if they ever did anything to improve it - their licensing has always felt like a mess once you start getting into consoles and contracting tbh.

[safe garden]

This is very specific regarding blender export to unity with animations, so not sure anyone here will know - but I am using the ACT plugin to texport a mesh with an animation attached, however in unity on every export it will add another action and another everytime the mesh is exported, is there a reason for this? I just want it to have one animation applied

[swift dragon]

Is there anyone here that has worked with cesium inside unity? I am trying to make a drivable rover on top a cesium moon terrain but im facing multiple problems. I am a beginner and was hoping for some assistance.

[gritty brook]

Hey folks. Not sure if this is the right channel. Im making a city builder game. So I took character (remy) from mixamo to test, then i copy paste around 1.5k of it to test. Each of em has animator controller for walk animations. However, suring play mode, i get around 15fps. Is it because the model has high poly or my animator is causing issue?

[sudden ruin]

Tons of animators in the scene will eat away at your performance. There are custom assets out there that solve this issue.

But first, look at your tris and batches count to make sure that isn't also a massive problem.

[gritty brook]

Sorry, im new and trying to make basic city builder with 1k population..

With 1 model only, no trees, just terrain, its around 47k tris count more or less

[sudden ruin]

47k tris isn't an issue. It's definitely the animators

[lapis gate]

I'd make sure it's the animator first off and not you calculating a path per character every frame

[worldly cave]

Am i reading it right? 1.5k game objects all with unique animators?

[gritty brook]

Yes, each game object of remy has its own animator controller

[gritty brook]

Though my animators, only have walking animation

[worldly cave]

15fps with over 1.5k animators is actually pretty good all things considered

[gritty brook]

I have like animator.SetBool("walk", true) on update. Not sure if you referring go this

[gritty brook]

But, that does not include my buildings yet 😅

Only villager models

[lapis gate]

https://stoyan3d.wordpress.com/2021/07/23/vertex-animation-texture-vat/
Consider looking into this idea. It's somewhat of an intermediate implementation but this would be the idea if you plan on using thousands of similar meshes/materials

VFX graph may offer some similar support

[worldly cave]

Anyways i have a video that might be useful to you

https://youtu.be/gnxnmw5ryhg?si=_WjVSek0JySEL519

Starting at 5:40

He had a similliar issue

Too many animators impacting performance

[gritty brook]

Ohh

Is this a common issue tho?

[lapis gate]

skinmeshrenders are hard to batch, yeah

[worldly cave]

Yeah i mean too many of one thing is gonna be a problem eventually for your scene

[lapis gate]

Could even expand on this idea by baking that mesh data at runtime by having a single skinmeshrender record frames then snapshotting it as mesh data

it works well in their game because they do have that low-fps animation style going on

[gritty brook]

Ohh my i will try baking animations. Haven tried before

Thanksss all

[sudden ruin]

Doesn't matter what the animation is

The component itself is intensive

[gritty brook]

I see. Alright will try animation bakin

[lone flower]

tnx!

[young breach]

Hi, good afternoon. Can anyone help me with a movement issue my character is having? When i press Play , my character starts moving on its own backwards, but when i move my camera around the player moves with the camera. I checked and the camera is not the pone causing the problem, but i'm having second thoughts. Can anyone help me, or am I not making sense? Thanks.

[gusty abyss]

[tropic oyster]

Slight offtopic, is partner.steamgames.com legit? And the taxidentity thing it uses? Seems super phishingy

[mild radish]

50% clear

its most likely code problem #💻┃code-beginner

but it could be the set-up in the hierarchy

[young breach]

i just posted my problem in #1390346827005431951

is okey there?

[dusky forum]

You should probably provide further detail rather than wait for someone to first be interested.

[tropic oyster]

@balmy kettle so yes, it’s legit?

I legit thought I was halfway through an incredibly orchestrated phishing scam

[sly lake]

That’s the official site, yes.

[tropic oyster]

I thought everything was steampowered.com not steamgames.com But some of the steampowered.com stuff links to the steamgames.com stuff

[karmic saddle]

man thank you soo much
you helped me optimise the game soo much 😄

[fair cove]

Valve owns both links

[mild radish]

i was waiting for this comment

just look up the whois info for the domains 😉

[plain dagger]

Dont forget https://steamcommunity.com/ too

[tropic oyster]

Steampowered.com and steamcommunity.com is registered to valve, but steamgames.com is registered to a like holding/privacy company

Name: MarkMonitor Inc.

Oh nvm I see it in whois

Thanks again yall

Glad to see I wasn’t actually phished

[cerulean bronze]

Can somebody help me with my scripts I have created a post for it

[balmy kettle]

don't crosspost (yes, directing people to another channel where your question actually is counts as crossposting)

oh and collab requests aren't welcome here 😉

[cerulean bronze]

my bad

[hushed hamlet]

Always good to double check. A lot of it is just from the "old days" steam. Like stitched together services back before itch or anything else was a thing

They maintain it reasonably well but it means sometimes it shows its age compared to everything being all in one today

[tropic oyster]

Yeah. Like they ask for a lot of information that could be used for fraud lol. Like i understand there are tax requirements etc so they actually need it, but giving my tax info is scary lol. That taxidentity site seems like a phishing site

[hushed hamlet]

I did get some good out of it, im in Canada, so we are tax exempt from US (for now). So the W8BEN they get you to sign, I have tk reuse with like 7 other distributors. And having steam as a reference really helped

[tropic oyster]

Makes sense

[real shoal]

hey guys, I need help finding some good tutorials or videos on learning about lighting and shaders on unity, if you have any send them my way. thanks

[balmy kettle]

[vagrant root]

Should also add that lighting and shaders are huge topics that would require you to learn beyond unity as well.

[thorn sphinx]

hi so im having an issue with unity version control saying that there's a missing file

i installed unity version control but theere isn't anything that pops up like file to make or anything

this error

[vivid cedar]

Can you share more context about where you're seeing this and how you got here?

[thorn sphinx]

nvm figured it out basically i created a cloud project and there were missing files all i did is basically make a project in that folder and then there are no more errors about missing files

[gusty abyss]

Looks like a scam

How do we know this is trustworthy

[woeful spear]

It says there's are 2 event systems in the scene. I added only one (the one in hierarchy):

It automatically added when I added Canvas. I don't know where's the 2nd one.

[vivid cedar]

Well this is going to only be printing at runtime

So you'll need to look while the game is running

I assume it's probably either from:

• an additively loaded scene
• a prefab you instantiate

You can also check if there's another EventSystem component elsewhere in the scene by using that search bar in the hierarchy window - with t: EventSystem

[woeful spear]

Oh there is. It only shows on Runtime. I'm using a prebuilt script maybe that uses it. So I can just disable the one I created manually?

[vivid cedar]

it looks like you're instantiating that UI prefab somewhere

[woeful spear]

Yeah

[vivid cedar]

You can either remove the EventSystem from that prefab, or you can remove the one in the scene

[woeful spear]

For cursor

[vivid cedar]

or you can have your code handle the conflict somehow more intelligently

[woeful spear]

I'd disable it for now

[lapis galleon]

hey so i was wondering how should i go about creating rollback net code

[lapis gate]

by using a network library that supports it

[lapis galleon]

im kinda new to this any resource that i can use to help

[lapis gate]

Photon has support for it, but if you're asking how to develop it then I'd be googling it for you

[lapis galleon]

yk wut chat gpt to the rescue

[lapis gate]

Fishnet may have support. I know Unity's Netcode for Gameobject is still working on some of those modules

Netcode for Entities is a little ahead so they may provide some implementations

[lapis galleon]

im gonna look into Unity GGPO

[lapis gate]

Also Fishnet is on sale right now in the asset store ;p

!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.

[still bane]

It is not fails to install but download

[balmy kettle]

and yet the troubleshooting steps remain the same

[exotic relic]

Actually, i think some of unitys network is down

my editor is logged out, took quite a while to load the website and now that im logged in its unable to update the list of assets I own.

when i go to view someones asset on the store it throws an error

dang, now i cant view the assets on the webpage either. rip

boxfriend, you can attempt. but i dont think he is alone with that issue...

[balmy kettle]

i never said that wasn't the issue, i clearly wan't aware of it. and the logs would have told them there was an issue with the connection, hence the steps for failing to download being identical for failing to install

[exotic relic]

For sure! im not blaming you at all, you did the right thing. I was just now being the one to update you

they may have fixed it - its taking a bit long to load some things to do with 'my assets' but it eventually loads now

[calm sage]

Hello fine folks, I am getting this error message when I try to open my assets through the package manager:

[Package Manager Window] Error while getting product update details: 502 Bad Gateway. Something went wrong. Please try again later. [Error 502

Any clues how to fix it ?

[still bane]

there is some errors from logs. Third screenshot is errors after retrying to download. It's downloads only unity documentation, but other fails

[balmy kettle]

as was established, unity is having network related issues at the moment

Hi, im getting this error when trying to submit an android build on the meta quest dev hub for my VR app. The log just keeps repeating this error with my ip address and a file path but im not sure if this is a me error or maybe meta uploads are just down right now?? I wouldnt think meta would have issues, but ive also been building the same project the same way, I had just modified a few project settings for input bugs I was having, and it doesnt make sense to me how that would result in this issue.

Are these Scale units in meters?

I want to make this cube 1km^2

[potent geyser]

Yep

[lapis gate]

cube is 1x1x1 meters

quad is 1x1

plane I think is 5 or 10 meters?

scale is just a multiplier

[junior path]

I think I have an idea of what I want to do next; it's a fairly unique idea:

[woeful spear]

Is there any option to solo an object? I could hide others with eye icon but that's tedious

Chat GPT says Alt + Click on eye icon but that doesn't work as intended

[potent geyser]

Make it a prefab, then you can go into the prefab and set it to only show its contents

[woeful spear]

OK. But would it be ideal? I mean I'd have to do that for every object I want to work as solo? Furhter, there would be objects inside prefab too.

[potent geyser]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/EditingInPrefabMode.html

You can edit prefabs in isolation

If you're doing it for a lot of things, then maybe not, unless they're reuseable props.

It seems what I was looking for

It hides everything else

Is there anyone who i facing issue in accessing their unity publisher portal as when I am trying to access, it says that no account is connected to this email use another

[atomic storm]

unity servers are having some issues rn, cant access my assets

[mild grove]

Is unity asset store down or something

[mild grove]

Yeah same lol

Sadge

[exotic relic]

Yes it is

Down for a while today actually, sadly

[slate jolt]

When will it be restored

[mild radish]

most likely isn't a scheduled thing..

just have to wait n see

[broken grove]

looks fine here. a little bit lot slower than usual, but still load
nevermind, same here too now

[exotic relic]

exactly. it gives you just enough hope... and then nope

[mild grove]

It worked long enough for me to download the package I wanted 😭

[atomic storm]

lucky ive been trying on and off for the last hour

[mild grove]

🥲

[brisk rivet]

So I have some TextMeshPro text rendering over some images in the canvas. These images may change. I am wanting the text to automatically adjust between black/white colors (depending on the background image and text position relative to that) for adaptive readability. What would be the best way to do this?

Like the top area being black is fine, but for this background, the alternative icon texts should maybe be white instead

But the background can change, so I'm wanting to make this adaptive rather than hardcoded colors.

[ocean pumice]

Read the pixels of your texture on that coordinates and adjust the color for example complementary. or you could try using a shader

[primal osprey]

same with me still cant acces my asset, no items to display

[still bane]

The problem was my ISP. I have two ISPs at home and I just switch to another and it's started downloading

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! When trying to build and run my game, I am getting this error.

[night sphinx]

i wish unity hub didn't have constant issues with installing android tools, and sometimes even just editors

like, at this point, just let me run the commands myself and automatically detect if it's set up correctly or not

I don't want to have to wait x months to hopefully get a hub version where it's fixed it

[vivid river]

What problems?

[night sphinx]

well, earlier it was trying to use the tar I have installed from git instead of the one in windows... for some reason? And because of that it failed to understand the paths correctly
so I replaced it with the windows version temporarily, and it started complaining the file already exists for whatever reason
so I made a custom wrapper that just ignored it so it would just let me install it, but that still doesn't work, and at that point I realize that it's seemingly trying to install the same files multiple times, and is failing because it can't delete the files that are currently in the process of being installed

So I'm just gonna give up and hope that all the files are there by now

[safe garden]

is there a good way to find a mesh on the level that might have mesh renderer turned off but not necessarily hidden in hierachy? i.e. a sign post that has mesh renderer off but collision applied so you keep wondering into it, just tricky to find

usually for stuff with collision I would type t:collider in hierachy search, is there anything like that for hidden items?

[vivid river]

GetComponent<>?

[versed tulip]

Trying to paint my terrain but nothing is happening, no matter what I do it just says the brush is read only. Anyone know how to fix this?

[vivid river]

Try to create a new layer

[versed tulip]

it works on that one, how annoying

[storm patio]

why not just deactivate the gameobject for those situations to avoid the ghost collider

i think you could use the search syntax to find them though

something like Renderer.enabled=false t:Collider? (untested though)

[safe garden]

ah thanks guys!

[graceful wedge]

can anyone help. whenever i build my android game i get this error. i never had it before so idk how to fix it

[tacit bridge]

Thanks :D

[zinc maple]

Hey, does anyone know a decent autocompletion extension for vscode for shaderlab files?

[south salmon]

can someone help me how to build 2d open world game

[zinc maple]

ShaderView2 doesn't give autocompletion and its formatting has lots of bugs

[south salmon]

i mean i did the unity tutorial but i am not getting idea how to make world generation and all

any help will be great

[zinc maple]

it's an advanced topic. You might have to follow a longer tutorial that specifically targets world generation and covers the basics.

If you don't mind learning on your own, you can also fix one problem at a time and move forward this way

[south salmon]

Do you have any recommendations where I can check and watch?

[south salmon]

I am trying but am just confused how to make world so I can move forward I can make trees and other things just world generation

I mean idk how to randomly add tree everywhere tho

[zinc maple]

unfortunately not :( but does this sound good?

[zinc maple]

yeah this article I sent should cover them. You can skip past the parts you know or don't need to learn right away.

[south salmon]

I will try this

Thank you

what does the suggestion say

[shut nymph]

im trying to add hdrp to vr/android with a special package and i have this wierd big now on the skybox

i do know that hdrp is not supported on android

[copper gust]

sounds like you need to ask whoever is the author of that special package

[shut nymph]

oh alr then because i heard that u can js change something in the hdrp rendering settings

i just dont fully remember

[tall hearth]

So you are making a game for a specific os with a render pipeline that doesnt support that os? Why?

[fallen dragon]

I recently switched to linux, is there any way to make color picker appear NOT on top left part of my screen

[vivid river]

drag it to some where and then close it, then the new window will appear at that location

[fallen dragon]

no it does not work

it resets it back

on Windows it was appearing under my mouse when changing image's color

here even if i drag or resize them, they reset, all of the windows

I want to ask for some history lesson
Why does unity use smoothness instead of roughness?
I tried looking in chat history and just found the already known fact it is one minus the other

I would still like to yap about c# though haha

although I'm still learning

I've created a prefab for some UI. I did so because I have to use same UI at multiple places in same scene. Now, the problem is, when I want to use it in function of any script (as shown in inspector), it works only for one prefab object only. Others don't work. I guess it's because it's the same prefab no matter how many times I use it in my scene, so it counts it as only one thing? Is there any way to fix it or is it wrong approach for this purpose?

For example, I want to show/hide the prefab under "Food2", but it works only for "Food1"

[storm patio]

are you assigning the instance of the prefab there or the prefab itself

(make sure you're assigning the instance)

what do you mean by "others don't work" anyways?

[woeful spear]

I basically drag it from hierarchy to that input field in inspector. I did it only for the instance under "Food2" but it doesn't seem to work.

[storm patio]

I guess it's because it's the same prefab no matter how many times I use it in my scene, so it counts it as only one thing?
this isn't the case.

[woeful spear]

I thought it would automatically detect which one I dragged lol

[storm patio]

how so?

[storm patio]

it doesn't "detect" it, you assign the thing you drag as you expect.

[woeful spear]

It works for "Food1"

[storm patio]

what is "working" in this context

i can't read your mind

[woeful spear]

Let me show you

[safe garden]

can someone please advise real quick, when working within a prefab is it possible to disable white flickering shading here? Almost use it like its in scene view but disable the white fade - I can't save in scene right now as someone is working in the scene so I have to make changes within the prefab, but the flickering makes my eyes bleed

[woeful spear]

The dark grey box you see is Food1 and similarly there is Food2 (2nd half of GIF). When I go close to Food1, you see a UI label pops up and goes away based on Trigger I've setup.

I've set up same logic for Food2 as well, but as you see, nothing happens.

[storm patio]

why a gif...

you've made it impossible to pause or seek

[vivid cedar]

So - it's not clear to me what kind of work you're trying to do but if the actual changes you're trying to make are within the prefab itself it's completely fine to work on in from the scene. As long as you apply all your overrides to the prefab all the changes will be only in the prefab asset file not the scene file.

[forest otter]

Hey so with the new animation system that is coming in Unity 7, does anyone know if we will be getting animation notifies like in UE4/5?

[vivid river]

Unity 7?

[vivid cedar]

these are different objects, even if they have the same name

[forest otter]

Yeah.... Unity 7? The version that comes after 6?

[vivid cedar]

not sure what animation notifies are but the existing animation system already have animation events, and I'm sure any new system will have something similar

[storm patio]

have you tried debugging at all? see if the trigger event is happening

see if the callbacks are present, i guess

[forest otter]

Notifies in UE4/5 are just tags you can at certain points i.e when the humanoid has their foot on the ground and then in BP you can use that notify to play a footstep sound

[storm patio]

that's what animation events are for in unity

[forest otter]

Oh okay

[vivid cedar]

yeah we already have this in Mecanim

[woeful spear]

@vivid cedar Oh it's working now actually. I think it was mandatory to drag instead of pick up the prefab in inspector. I dragged only for Food1 but picked from dropdown for Food2. So like Chris said, I think when picked up from dropdown, it selected the Prefab, not the instance.

So the only way to use them individually is to drag them?

[vivid cedar]

they both have the same name so if you picked it from the dropdown it's hard to know which one you picked, or if you picked the prefabasset, or what

[storm patio]

or pick them from the "scene" section if they show up there

[woeful spear]

Also, is there any way to differentiate each of them? It will become confusing for me with more instances. What if I rename them?

[storm patio]

but yes, drag & drop is usually easier to work with

[storm patio]

then rename them

[vivid river]

When was it announced

[storm patio]

the name of the prefab and the name of the gameobject based on that prefab are separate

[woeful spear]

OK. But they'd still be part of same prefab right?

[vivid cedar]

To be honest this sort of referencing deep into a child object of a prefab is kind of an antipattern in my opinion. I would probably restructure all of this to avoid the need for such a reference

[storm patio]

no, they'd be instances of the same prefab

[woeful spear]

I get it now.

[vivid cedar]

Wait sorry actually looking at this now I'm confused why the Food object itself isn't a prefab?

Then you would only need to do this dragging one time, in the Food prefab.

[woeful spear]

Yeah, only the blue text ones are prefabs

[vivid cedar]

I would make Food a prefab too

and then have two copies of that here

then you don't have to keep repeating this process

[woeful spear]

Actually, I'd change food items there, so both will be different foods.

[vivid cedar]

(yes prefabs can contain other prefabs in their hiearchies)

[vivid cedar]

That's fine. You can do that as a prefab override

or as prefab variants

you'd still benefit from making Food a prefab

[storm patio]

so you could make prefab variants of those or just change the text/mesh or even set an SO

[woeful spear]

I haven't read about override thing yet.

I guess I'd read it at some point.

[vivid cedar]

overrides are any changes you make in the scene to a prefab instance

and prefab variants are basically just prefabs derived from base prefabs with overrides.

[woeful spear]

The triggers would work individually? For both food items?

[storm patio]

prefabs (the assets), like many things, represent blueprints or templates.

when you instantiate them, aka when you put them in a scene, you are using that blueprint to create a gameobject.

you can change aspects of the gameobject without changing the blueprint.

[woeful spear]

Right now there are two different triggers for each food as you can see in hierarchy

[storm patio]

and they're separate gameobjects

[woeful spear]

But both have same logic

[storm patio]

being prefabs doesn't matter

just makes it easier to work with, to tweak both

[woeful spear]

I'll try it

[storm patio]

imagine you want to change the range of the detection, you'd have to change it for all of them individually

[woeful spear]

Yes that's a problem

[storm patio]

if they're prefabs, you can just change the blueprint and the rest will follow, unless one specifically has a different value

[woeful spear]

I'm going to try this approach

[woeful spear]

It worked! Now I'd change the food item to see what happens

[vivid cedar]

I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Each trigger is independent yes.

[woeful spear]

So you were right. I can change the items and the trigger logic still works!

But I still don't fully understand the "override" part here. So basically it's "overriding" the instance with custom objects I added. And if I press Apply, it would actually save it in the Prefab for both Food1 and Food2?

[vivid cedar]

It means you have made changes to this instance of the prefab in the scene. So this instance differs from the original prefab in those ways.

Pressing Apply will save that difference to the actual prefab, yes. So it would make that change to all instances of the prefab everywhere (unless those instances have their own overrides for that field)

[woeful spear]

I get it. That dropdown naming is a bit confusing. I thought it's a list of multiple behaviors, including "Overrides". But it's actually a dropdown of instances that may have been overriden.

[storm patio]

it's a dropdown of properties that have been overridden

[vivid cedar]

it's a dropdown of properties, fields, components, and objects ON this instance that have been overridden

[storm patio]

it's a dropdown of overrides, as the dropdown says

[woeful spear]

Thank you guys. I got the solution to an unknown problem.

Yeah

If I hadn't today, I guess sooner or later I'd have to dig into this as it would be tedious to update trigger functions manually for each trigger.

[storm sierra]

Is there any good books on unity alone? I have a few on c# and basic unity projects, but I am working with DOTS and would like a book on this

[woeful spear]

Did you start to learn standard C# or the tutorials from Unity on C#? I also have to learn C#. I'm not good in coding.

[gusty aspen]

Hey, why does unity not have an internal editor like Godot or gamemaker and you need to use an external one like VScode ?
If the unity editor had one it would make compiling time a lot faster

[vivid river]

it is what it is

[craggy pollen]

how do you know it would be faster?

[vivid river]

Compilation speed is dependent on code complexity even the inbuilt editor would just have edited the code files

[storm sierra]

I did both of them, I have books on standard c# up to advanced but nothing regarding the advanced unity specific language coding rules

[mild radish]

meh, i prefer and assume im not alone having my ide as a seperate window / workspace..
working on a script within unity and having to dedicate more screen realestate seems wasteful/unnecessary
already have enough windows to manage 😄 (just my 2cents tho)

theres assets and plugins to be found to code inside unity.. they all look less than polished tho

[vivid river]

then you should use the offline Documentation that comes with the editor or you can view online, it has everything you need to know about Unity specific classes , definitions namespaces methods etc

[storm sierra]

The editor has offline documentation to read?

[vivid river]

yes

[mild radish]

it was in the modules of the install

[storm sierra]

I didn't see that, thank you

atleast got my editors on it

Unity coding something to code . ME STRUGGLING TO CREATE A VR GAME PROJECT AND REALIZING TWO DAYS AFTER THAT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE. it was 3 months ago but i still dumb

[gusty aspen]

Have you tried Godot
Compiling code in unity and Godot is night and day difference

[craggy pollen]

i have not but i dont think that this is the reason why it compiles faster

[sly lake]

It’s not, no 🙂

[vivid river]

IT uses GDscript rather than C# .net

[sly lake]

You can try with Riderflow

[stuck crypt]

After Unity crashed, I had to force quit the software via the Task Manager. Now, I can't open a project because my license has suddenly been deactivated and I can't reactivate it. I should mention that I'm using the free version of Unity.

[vivid river]

Just sign in again

Its the personal License

[gusty aspen]

If I'm not wrong, it's because it had to rebuild the project, while in Godot it will automatically compile just what you need to change

[storm patio]

does windows really need that

that's insane

[gusty aspen]

What's that ?

[sly lake]

A Unity editor plugin that does various things. Including an integrated code editor.

[sly lake]

Not that much, no

[balmy kettle]

it's not necessarily 20+ gigs, but it's typically suggested to keep at least 15% free on your Windows drive

[sly lake]

Though it might need some temp storage for updates

[gusty aspen]

Are there any inconveniences?

[stuck crypt]

I just logged out and back into the Unity Hub, but nothing has changed. I don't understand; even adding the license is impossible.

[sly lake]

Well the whole Unity editor is non-interactive while it’s compiling so… Yeah, I’d rather not have it integrated.

[storm patio]

ah, of course.

[vivid river]

Add new license > Get a free Personal License

[gusty aspen]

Makes sense

Btw is is it free?

[vivid river]

Yeah, like you were doing some code cahgnes and did ctr+s and it got freeze

[balmy kettle]

each of the three IDEs that unity supports have some sort of free tier, yes

[stuck crypt]

I tried adding a new license, but it still refuses.

[balmy kettle]

visual studio and vs code have the same license and are really the most "open"
and rider has a free license if you use it for non-commercial purposes

[vivid river]

Theres also a get help option, try it and troubleshoot

[sly lake]

VS can get properly expensive for a company 😅

[vivid river]

I can't even run the Full IDE

[tall hearth]

Restart your computer

Had the same thing happen the other day after my student license ended tried restarting the hub multiple times it did nothing and only until after i restarted my computer shortly after did it give me the free license again

[stuck crypt]

Thank you, that solved my problem, thank you.

[mild radish]

not sure its mandatory.. but I'll crash out way too often when it gets that low..
photoshop, video editors and stuff could allocate / need much more than that solely on boot-up.. (scratch-disks) i would sometime need to lower the amounts just to do something right quick.. to play it safe I would do anything possible to keep mine atleast at 25.. it would be much more stable and i could multitask all that I needed..

[reef dome]

I could never survive on a single 500gb, I only have this much space this time cause I just re-setup windows a week ago 😄

[mild radish]

ive been doing very good about it since my 17tb HDD failed on me

knocked it off the table. and the universe stood still for a moment

[reef dome]

I was thinking about building a small storage rack next to my router, those 4-8tb hdds come cheap these days, raspi to serve some media platforms and services next to it, guess that will be a new years project 😄

[mild radish]

i'll probably replace my 17tb hdd with one of those

that K: drive is an SSD.. and personally i don't have too much faith at all in SSDs anymore

After the last OVH datacenter burned down I doubled up on the security 😄 luckily only lost a not-so-important database in that fire

[rigid zodiac]

Hey guys, is it safe to open a project that was made with unity 6000.2.62f1 with unity 6000.2.63f1? I get a messege that this might break my game, but the versions looks the same to me

[reef dome]

Yes its safe

1. make a backup though

A version jump that small should not break anything, larger version jumps can break things but almost never into an unfixable statue

[vivid cedar]

Are you using version control?

[rigid zodiac]

okay, should i rebuild librabry?

[rigid zodiac]

Yes

[reef dome]

Usually it does that automatically on upgrade

But yeah as Praetor asked, do you use version control?
If so make sure everything is checked in

[vivid cedar]

then you have nothing to worry about. Make a commit. Then upgrade, and make a new commit

if anything is broken, you can roll back

in general minor version upgrades are painless.

[worldly cave]

are those both ssds?

2gb free on an ssd is atrocious

[sly lake]

So little

[reef dome]

enough for day to day stuff 😄

[sly lake]

I have a dedicated 2TB SSD for Unreal Engine projects 😅

[sly lake]

Which is about two projects

[worldly cave]

i bought a 1tb nvme just for blender and unity stuff

and its already like 80% full

[exotic relic]

I know! its a struggle, hope to grab a new pc soon with more storage lol. Not much you can really do when you need the backups and projects.. which are constantly increasing in size.

[reef dome]

usually motherboards have free SATA slots, you can just stick a cheap SSD in for now

even 500gb more from amazon would go a long way i guess

[storm sierra]

What kind of data is filling most of that?

Character animations?

[worldly cave]

mostly blend files

8k materials

huge models

[reef dome]

are you doing hyper-realistic blender renders?

no way you need 8k for unity

[worldly cave]

nor did i say i need it for unity

[reef dome]

blender and unity stuff

so i was guessing for which the 8k textures is 😄

[worldly cave]

lol i assumed it might have been obvious but yeah

the 8k texture materials are in blender

[reef dome]

ive seen things over the years... 😄

[worldly cave]

8k materials in unity 👀

[reef dome]

and with megascans going full free for some time its been easier than ever

im just 3D blender artist

and am have problem with exporting fron blender to unity , the normal object like map and items

[modest meteor]

explain what the problem is in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[exotic relic]

For larger models though, up to 16k could be needed. Rare case of course. I typically blend 2k and 4k

[fiery stone]

the guy in the tutorial pulls the sprite into the scene, it doesnt let me do it, why? i get disabled icon when pulling it in...

[worldly cave]

make sure you are grabbing the sprite itself and not the "asset" unity combines it into

if it has the little arrow on the right you have to expand it first

[fiery stone]

ah fkk, works now, thx

[storm patio]

that isn't a sprite, that is a tile

make sure you are grabbing the actual tile

if you grab the sprite (or a single type texture2d, which delegates to the sprite or something) you'll get a disconnected spriterenderer that isn't part of the tilemap

[fiery stone]

first image is my unity, second one is tutorial, why dont i have color picker like he has? its not that im using unity4 so that its outdated, its literally maybe 2 versions, both are unity 6, dont get it how can it be so different, its becoming annoying

[balmy kettle]

your component is folded

[fiery stone]

lol, they couldve changed it a bit, looks like its open

thx...

[worldly cave]

does it

[balmy kettle]

that's the material you are seeing there which is separate from the actual SpriteRenderer component

[dusk walrus]

i haven't done any more than the tutorial in Unity and i was wondering if 3d modelling is viable in unity or if i should use blender or smthing

[balmy kettle]

unity is not a 3d modeling software, you need to use 3d modeling software like blender if you want to do 3d modeling

[dusk walrus]

ohh ok, ty

[worldly cave]

if you want to do some basic like

block outs and stuff

you can use pro builder

but anything more advanced yeah you need a dedicated 3d modeling software

[dusk walrus]

it's just that i saw something about probuilder but i asssume thats an addon

[worldly cave]

its an official addon

[dusk walrus]

would it be good for prototyping and such?

[worldly cave]

it adds some basic 3d modeling in blender but its almost exclusively used to block out levels

[dusk walrus]

sry but what is a block out?

[balmy kettle]

probuilder is not really something you can use to do actual 3d modeling, you can quickly block out scenes with it but if want anything even mildly good looking you'd need actual 3d models

[worldly cave]

i also use it to quickly set up some models for testing purposes without having to use seperate software

[worldly cave]

think of it as like sketching out your level first

through simple squares and shapes to build up its geometry

like in the screenshot above, you can see just a very basic level that i built using pro builder for testing

[dusk walrus]

thank you! that is exactly what i was looking for

[worldly cave]

Actually just found something really good on itch, thanks.

[lapis gate]

do a dev build and enable logging

are you sure this only appears on itchio? Make sure you test local host

[stray oxide]

other platforms is fine, I've only done web on itchio, idk if it's something to do with the player profile settings

I mean I just have everything on default, though gotta admit. When I was building my web build, I did get js execution pop up and I acidently pressed no cuz it popped right where my mouse was when I clicked

idk if it had anything to do with that to break anything

[storm patio]

when building?

[stray oxide]

exporting/building

[storm patio]

if it was a question prompt, that sounds like something that would show up when running, after the build finishes

where did it show up, and what did the prompt say exactly? if you managed to catch that

[stray oxide]

yeah that's what I would think

uhh, I think it was when the build was complete then it popped up, I just saw the js logo that's all

in a split second

[storm patio]

if it was a permissions prompt from the browser, you could just enable the permission yourself after the fact

but most if not all modern webpages use js so afaik most modern browsers just won't ask

[stray oxide]

yeah no it wasn't when I was loading anything on browser either

it just randomly popped lol

no idea

[storm patio]

where? was it a prompt from unity?

[stray oxide]

I don't know, like I said... it just finished building and then it came up

[lapis gate]

it probably is running in your browser if you pressed build and run

considering that blob tells us very little, I'd try the dev build idea and see if any errors pop up in the consoles, and you can also f12 at the start of loading to get more infromation in the dev console of the browser

Usually I try to figure out if it's either a logical problem, asset problem, or rendering

[stray oxide]

yeah I have read about but never actually used it so not sure what I am looking for, unless it's something pretty obvious

[long rivet]

yo does anyone know how to save values inbetween scenes. In my game I want to save a couple variables, switch to another scene, switch back and save the variables.

[lapis gate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html
Can you that to prevent a gameobject from destroying between scenes

Alternatively you can write to SOs which do persist between scenes, but little funky when doing that with an editor build

[long rivet]

alright thank you 🙂

[elder jolt]

why does my object keep falling through the terrain?

the terrain has a collider and so does the object

[balmy kettle]

is it falling completely through the terrain, or does it stop almost halfway through it?

[elder jolt]

completely

[balmy kettle]

make sure the terrain's collider isn't set to be a trigger

you're also going to want to increase the size of your sphere collider on that object unless you want it to go partway through the terrain (the green wireframe sphere you see in that screenshot is the sphere collider)

[elder jolt]

theres no trigger

[elder jolt]

let me check

[elder jolt]

yeah the sphere collider goes all around it

[balmy kettle]

i'm assuming you mean you have now changed it so that it does

[elder jolt]

yep

still falls completely through

[balmy kettle]

then make sure that neither collider is being destroyed/disabled at runtime, the rigidbody remains dynamic, and that both objects are on layers that can collide with each other

this is not a showcase channel. use #1180170818983051344 to show off your work

[elder jolt]

nothing works

[elder jolt]

yeah i've made sure of all of these

[tepid oyster]

sorry, my bad

[elder jolt]

time to turn to chatgpt ig

last resort cause i've got no clue what the hell is going on

[mild radish]

disable ur tumbleweed script.. and test

[elder jolt]

i have already

it made no difference

[mild radish]

if it stays above the terrain then its that script thats causing it to fall thru.. (if all the things boxfriend has mentioned have been checked)

[mild radish]

oh ok

[elder jolt]

well it doesn't lol

i am really clueless

[silent mica]

Tried creating a new rb sphere and seeing if that works with terrain?

[mild radish]

i got nothing that boxfriend didnt mention

i was gonna suggest making the col radius bigger to test that.. but danny's mention is equivilent

[elder jolt]

it does

[mild radish]

now add the tumbleweed script to it.. and watch it fall thru the terrain 😉 \nah, j/k but really.. i wonder 🤔 lol \

[elder jolt]

i am watching it not falling

now im really confused

[mild radish]

well then just add the graphics and ur finished 🤣

[elder jolt]

atleast i know the tumbleweed script works lol

[elder jolt]

its a sphere

[elder jolt]

there's another script that manages the tumbleweeds

it is onlyattached to tumbleweeds that spawn not a brand new sphere

its probably due to that

[mild radish]

check it out n see.. atleast u know its not the terrain lol

[shrewd pulsar]

Hello everyone, Can I ask a question about Unity here? Or where else could I ask it?

[vivid cedar]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[elder jolt]

oh wait im so fucking dumb

holy shit

i didn't set the terrain

😭

yes i stole the script btw

[mild radish]

dont chek ur console?

[elder jolt]

nothing there

nvm it doesnt work still

[silent mica]

Is it falling through or spawning below terrain?

[shrewd pulsar]

Please excuse my English, I'm not very good at it. I have a question in Unity, when I place a prefab in the scene, it sticks to the ground, but when I place the paint trees, they float above the ground, as you can see in the image. Why is that?

[elder jolt]

falling through

[silent mica]

Are you testing it with the new sphere you created?

[elder jolt]

the script works properly with the sphere

but not the tumbleweed?

must be the prefab then?

i should try using a different tumbleweed model maybe??

[stuck flower]

When the tumbleweed falls through the terrain does it keep falling forever or does it eventually stop

[vivid cedar]

where's the actual collider for the tumbleweed?

[elder jolt]

i fixed it

[balmy kettle]

what ended up being the issue

i changed the mesh of the sphere to the tumbleweed

and it fixed it

the tumbleweed prefab is cursed

[bitter willow]

hi guys i was wondering to make my game multiplayer because i want to make a game with the same visual style as baldi and I think it would be funner with friends but I think that is a pain in the ass so yeah what should i do?

[lapis gate]

how many games have you made

[bitter willow]

i have made like 1 game on unity before and that was like a year ago but my memory is still fresh

it was also a multiplayer game lmao

[lapis gate]

ok so what exactly is the question

[bitter willow]

if i should make my game multiplayer or not

[lapis gate]

only limitation is your time and capabilities

[bitter willow]

okay

[stuck flower]

how should we know?

That's a you question

[elder jolt]

if you think you want it do it

simple

[normal stag]

what's the game idea

[craggy jolt]

Anyone else having game performance issues on your build since Microsoft pushed that bad security update a couple weeks ago?

[surreal arch]

Yo

[gusty abyss]

Unity be actin weird

[exotic relic]

is that linux?

[gusty abyss]

noooo

[exotic relic]

it wouldnt do that on windows/mac

unless your gpu is failing or so

[gusty abyss]

got it only a few years ago

and yes im on Ubuntu this happens a bunch

[exotic relic]

its just linux then, which does not have a consistant os for a program to stay stable on

[gusty abyss]

yea I get it

[noble locust]

how do i pack this prefab? the usual drag into the project method isnt working for some reason

[normal stag]

you have 3 windows open in a window open in a window open in linux

wut

[gusty abyss]

😭 what

[normal stag]

thats what i'm tryna figure out

tf is going on with YOUR unity bro

[gusty abyss]

one word

Linux

[wanton wing]

hello

[vivid river]

Hi, What do you want to get help in?

[wanton wing]

nope , i am good :))

thanks for asking

[near wigeon]

https://nohello.net

[near wigeon]

are you getting an error or something? what happens when you drag it in

[noble locust]

i figured it out, it's because i was missing scripts in my parent object

[wanton wing]

you got a point

[vivid river]

excellent argument

[left palm]

I'm looking for another place to ask this question, as I don't think it fits this channel. I'm currently developing a game, but I'd like some advice on the planning stages. Where should I ask my question?

[tacit bridge]

What do you need?

[left palm]

I'm working on game development with Unity and testing various technical implementations. While the technical implementation is well-prepared,
I have some concerns about the game's logic and planning stages. I'd like to hear your feedback on whether the game's design is sound and what needs to be improved.
However, I'm not sure if I can post this question on the Unity channel. If not, where should I post it?

[tacit bridge]

This channel is fine. You can make the question a thread

[little beacon]

can you give me name of some free design and art software?

[fleet canopy]

oogle maybe

[little beacon]

no bro google just advice me some trash app

[ocean pumice]

GIMP is free and used by some people. Depends on what you need to do. If you expect Adobe level, there is no free alternative. Closest, that is cheaper is Affinity for example

[tacit bridge]

I recommend Krita

There is no trash app. It's either you expected too much or you just "google" not good enough

[ocean pumice]

While agreeing with the second, there are still "trash apps" for sure 😉

[fleet canopy]

Well yeah if you don’t research and just use the top result of course it’s bad

Figma is also good

[ocean pumice]

But again, it depends on what you need. Figma is vector based, Krita is for rasterized graphics, and so on.

[sly lake]

Affinity

I'm not a huge fan of their bitmap editing (compared to Photoshop that is), but for vectors it's fantastic.

[cyan lion]

I wanted to ask like unity has its own stuff like vfx graph to make cool mograph stuff but how can we use and import cinema 4d animations to it?

By cinema 4d animations i mean motion graphics animation not character or other usual 3d animations

[gusty abyss]

can I use unity to feed my eternal craving of human flesh

[sly lake]

Like VFX? I'd look into Houdini workflows and see if you can do something similar to export from Cinema4D. But generally authoring in VFX Graph or Shuriken will be easiest and most optimized.

[zealous grail]

hello does anyone know why my animaton resets back into its starting position instead of running continiously

i've heard its something with root motion maybe?

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🏃┃animation room you can ask in

[zealous grail]

thanks

[gusty abyss]

I assume adaptive light probes don't work in linux

[dusky forum]

Try restarting Unity?

[slow dirge]

Feels more like a corrupt installation/missing files

[zealous grail]

werid

[zealous grail]

anyone know why

[cyan lion]

Not exactly vfx. More of Interactive motion graphics. Also Houdini is a bit too complicated

[storm patio]

might be looking at the wrong instance, etc

[zealous grail]

what other instance could it be looking at

[storm patio]

if this is a prefab variant, you might targetting the prefab instead of an instance, for example

[storm patio]

this is your project, mate. i wouldn't know.

i'm not psychic.

[zealous grail]

lol

[zealous grail]

i have it privated

tho

doesnt that mean it can only look at the one instance

[storm patio]

no

that's unrelated

you might have multiple instances of HostileAI

[zealous grail]

oh i do

[zealous grail]

if i have many different enemies

and i want them to use the same ai

i need to change each name

[storm patio]

so check if one of them doesn't have an animator set

[zealous grail]

like HostileAI1, HostileAI3?

[storm patio]

no, that's unrelated

[zealous grail]

aha

[zealous grail]

hey it works thanks

i get it

[storm patio]

you might have multiple instances of HostileAI.
you're looking at one of them, which has the animator set
the error says one of them doesn't have the animator set
these may not be the same instance

[zealous grail]

yep

thanks

[molten kernel]

Does anyone know why the Vertical Layout Group component introduces an X offset in children and how to prevent it (other than just offsetting the parent)?

[vivid river]

page doesnt exists

[turbid vapor]

!!!

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called !!.

[storm patio]

check the padding, perhaps?
if they're 0, i think they shouldn't be offset. perhaps ask #📲┃ui-ux

[molten kernel]

All 0, but thanks, I will ask

[royal sable]

i put the same script on 4 guns, it works on 2 and it doesnt work on 2, how does that make any sense

[storm patio]

then there's something different between them

[royal sable]

i mean i came to the same conclusion but i checked their pivot point and its bout the same, way to small for the issue thats happening

[deft rock]

then it's either not that, or it's that And something else

[royal sable]

how do i figure out what the problem is, if the code is the same, models have the same pivot and their parents are the same

i have no clue on how to figure out what the issue is

[deft rock]

you compare everything, over and over .. next to each other

difficult to help because you haven't shown the issue, just said there is one

[royal sable]

i have been doing that for 2 hours and im too dumb to find a difference

[royal sable]

i made a grappling hook, and it rotates towards to what it is grappling

now 2 of the guns rotate

2 just fly around

(i followed danis tutorial btw if that helps)

[deft rock]

it doesn't

[royal sable]

well then ignore that info

[deft rock]

If the grappling hook rotation isn't needed on the other weapons, it shouldn't be part of the script that is on them

[royal sable]

it is needed on all of them, they are just different skins of the grappling hook

[deft rock]

but it sounds like perhaps you've assigned something incorrectly, perhaps

[royal sable]

thats what i tought of first but i went over it a hundret times and i cant find the issue

[deft rock]

have a break, come back later and try it again

[royal sable]

oki

[deft rock]

If it works with one, then it's not a code issue. It's a setup issue.

[clear hearth]

Hello everyone

I need your help

I want to add a time screen and for the player follow the time at the game.

[gritty brook]

im making a city builder game. I cant figure out how cities skylines able to have 1million objects (as villagers)

[clear hearth]

How can I do it?

[twilit crystal]

question, how do i fix this

cuz i legit just made a new script and this comes up

[vivid river]

THe filename and classname doesnt match

it also should be derived of Monobehaviour

[twilit crystal]

BUT LIKE

its a new script

ive done nothing to it yet

even when i use an empty script

[vivid river]

try recompiling the scripts

[twilit crystal]

actually i may know why

the unity i use at college has a bunch of stuff i dont have at home soo probs thats why

[deft rock]

being new isn't relevant if you haven't met the requirements of creating the script

[twilit crystal]

i even changed the class name to fit the script name, nothing

idk what ive done wrong

[sly lake]

Has the code compiled?

[twilit crystal]

its a new script, what is there to compile

[sly lake]

The code 🙂

It can't find a class if it doesn't exist in the assembly

[twilit crystal]

its there i think

[sly lake]

It should not be in Resources.

You should almost never use Resources.

[twilit crystal]

that was a custom folder

not the one thats there

but makes sense

[vivid river]

My entire Project is in resources [Resources/Scripts]😂

[sly lake]

Nice of you to open source your code

[twilit crystal]

there is 1 issue that keeps appearing tho and its bugging mee cuz idk how to fix

should i take it to the coding channeel since its a coding problem

[sly lake]

thx bro

[strong fable]

is it possible to change the capacity of a vfx system at runtime? suppose I have a bullet trail which I use for a slow gun and a very fast one. I'd have to crank the capacity up to make it work for the fast guns and but the slow ones wont even need a fraction of that.

[tall hearth]

Havent used vfx graphs in awhile but iirc they have variables that can be changed through code yeah

[edgy fox]

hallo

[vivid river]

What idea

[balmy badge]

i don't wanna say

but it is a game

[vivid river]

ok

[signal herald]

I have waaay too many folders in my assets folder. Many of which I don’t use in the build. Is there a way to find all the folders that are not used at all in the build? There might be objects referencing a texture or materials for many of them, I would be too much work to check everything by hand

[vivid river]

On asset store i think there is something

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/asset-usage-detector-112837?srsltid=AfmBOorM_cK_xR5asTomeXg2N9lH8H--Qtj8bq2cnwKTPQFwI8D76cWh

[vivid river]

there it is

[signal herald]

I’ll take a look! Thank you

[turbid vapor]

👋
Do I need another game override?

I have one in total. What happens if this one ends?

[versed tulip]

anyone else's asset store not loading any products? None of the images seem to be loading

[vivid river]

network issue maybe

[primal osprey]

network issue, still fine in my editor

[exotic relic]

Unity has been having some trouble with their system, it’s probably not you.

[primal heart]

Here we go again... Unity is beginning a phased exit from the Multiplay Game Server Hosting service. What a let down.

[vivid river]

What happened

[thick rock]

hello everyone, I have a question. I have a picture of an character and Villain , I want to make a sprites sheet for them to make animations, does anyone know a tool to make it?

[gentle moss]

I was reading about this and I'm very confused about it. I just finished integrating Multiplay into my first multiplayer development project.

[primal heart]

same haven't shipped yet but the entire framework is ready

[gentle moss]

I'm really hoping API and pricing models don't change.

if they do, that'd be a lot of work down the drain for me.

[primal heart]

Rocket Science are AAA aiming at big studios, not indie friendly as I understand. They don't even publish their pricing

[gentle moss]

Wow.

I guess it's time to look at alternatives.

[primal heart]

yep, looking at Playfab and Edgegap

[gentle moss]

I had everything hooked into Multiplay. Matchmaker, Lobbies, etc

I've heard good things about playfab.

Player Economy, Friends, CloudSave, Authentication....

I wonder if I'll have to redo all of that.

[polar basalt]

how can i remove the [DisallowMultipleComponent] from Selectable?

i know its bad to do this, but i need it removed a short time..

or will unity break

[storm patio]

unity probably won't break, but your changes will be... in a weird state.

they won't be saved into your project, if you ever update or reset your library for any reason then they'll be reset

[primal heart]

It's only the hosting that moves, the rest can stay the same

[left palm]

I have a very simple question about UI text size. Is it okay if I post the related question and images here?

[storm patio]

but for temporary.. shenanigans, you could probably just remove it from the file in packagecache

though, you'll have to be careful to not break anything else along the way. chances are there's a good reason that attribute is there

once you're done with shenanigans you'll also have to make sure your project isn't in a weird invalid state that was allowed because the attribute wasn't there

[vivid river]

#📲┃ui-ux maybe

[storm patio]

so, unless you really know what you're doing, you shouldn't do it.

[left palm]

thx

[polar basalt]

ive done that by first having my script be a non selectable, adding it and then making it selectable

but now if i make it non selectable the script will lose data

[storm patio]

why would you do that

[polar basalt]

to be able to add the script

without it saying that selectable is there

[storm patio]

this sounds very much like a x/y problem

why are you trying to bypass this restriction to begin with

[thick rock]

Guys please someone help me

[vivid river]

any image manipulation software would do that, if you have each keyframe you can use sprite editor

[snow lava]

Anyone know how I can get the end of this bone chain to stick to the top of this metal cylinder? Trying to make a backpack + cannon setup and I want the hose to move dynamically. But I can't have a constraint on the last bone because vrchat physbones disables it, and dynamic bones just stops working on that bone entirely when a constraint is active

The right shiny cylinder would be the cannon the player picks up

[sonic ferry]

Im having a bit of a stretching issue with my hands in a VR project, and at first I thought it was an issue with the XRpluginmanager or project settings, etc, but it could also be performance from some of the research ive been looking up. I was curious though if this could possibly also be an issue with the skinned mesh renderer, and if anyone has experienced this as a "common" issue with skinned meshes or if it could possibly be some handtracking scripts. The stretching is prevalent when waving the hands very fast back and forth, but also just randomly (again, possible performance or xrplugin stuff)

[mild radish]

ive only ever seen stretching like that when the camera's clear flags are messed up.. and its redrawing part of the screen over and over

but in this context its very much probably stretching due to the skinned mesh..
