[mild radish]

the finger tips.. are <---- way over there.. but the rest of the hand is way over there ->

[sonic ferry]

clear flags? 😓

[mild radish]

ignore that.. thats not what this is..

makes a similar effect tho.. (like the old solitaire win screen)

[sonic ferry]

so basically the handtracking script could possible be not updating the finger bones correctly ?

[mild radish]

whatever it is.. its b/c part of the bone is <------ and part of it -------->

could be ur hand-tracking yes

[stuck flower]

MS Paint

[buoyant igloo]

Literally unity does that with the multiple texture feature, google that or look for any 2d animation tutorial

[mild radish]

its basically doing this..

u can use wire-frame mode.. and probably see that part of the mesh is stretched away from teh hands

[sonic ferry]

oooooh, good debugging tip

[mild radish]

not sure tbh.. thats all the advice i can give.. i dont do VR / hand tracking

just trying to steer u on course

[sonic ferry]

all good, been helpful, thanks!

[mild radish]

good luck

[sonic ferry]

means a lot

[mild radish]

also can pause the game and go thru the hiearchy of the hand.. and see what parts of it arent supposed to be where they should be.. (not sure where to go from there) looks like all the finger tips tho getting stretched

[buoyant igloo]

could somebody help me pls 🙏

Hello, I just wanted to ask if there is anywhere I can hire some people for a game I'm creating, I'm working on a FNAF AR Remake and I want to hire some developers for the project (I can't pay sadly but I just wanted to ask if any developers can help me)

[tardy python]

how can i make the scrollview contents scroll underneath everything else?

[vivid cedar]

Can you explain what that means? Maybe show a video or something?

[tardy python]

this is what it looks like before i scroll down

[storm patio]

you want the scrolled contents to be under the piano keys?

[tardy python]

yes and everything else above it

[storm patio]

is your scrollview's viewport not limited to the space under the keys?

the content should be masked to the viewport

[tardy python]

i'm not sure what that means. how would i do that?

[storm patio]

it should already be done

does the viewport extend above the piano keys

[tardy python]

nope

[storm patio]

hm, then it should be masked. the mask component is there too

[tardy python]

yeah that's what i thought

[storm patio]

make sure the viewport isn't moving up when you scroll at runtime too i guess?

[tardy python]

looks like it is

[storm patio]

it's moving up?

it shouldn't be, it should be just the content, iirc...

[tardy python]

that's weird. could it be something to do with the layout package i'm using?

i'm using this flexible layout package called Flexalon

[storm patio]

i would hope it doesn't change the core behavior of built-in stuff

but i guess it can't be ruled out

[sly agate]

hi

[storm patio]

yeah just confirmed, in my project, when scrolling, the content moves, the viewport does not

[tardy python]

hmm is your scrollview inside the main canvas or it's own obect in the hierarcy? chatGPT said it could be because the scrollview is inside the main canvas and the rendering order is affecting it

but idk how i would put it outside of the main canvas without messing up the layout

[tall hearth]

Using ai to help is crazy work

[tardy python]

i use it as a last resort

it helps me troubleshoot lol

[storm patio]

that is how it is supposed to be.

it is a UI element. it has to be in a canvas.

[tall hearth]

This would just need you to mess with the order in hierarchy no?

[storm patio]

yes, rendering order is part of the symptoms here. rendering order should not be affecting masking or behavior of the scroll rect

[storm patio]

you really shouldn't

[tall hearth]

Is it?

[storm patio]

it's just gonna waste your time and waste learning oppurtunities

[storm patio]

note my wording - it's part of how the symptoms present, it's not part of the issue

the piano keys are showing under the content because it's overlapping and because the content is rendered over the piano keys, due to hierarchy rendering order.

the issue is that the viewport is moving at all - it shouldn't be moving, and it should mask the content so it wouldn't be rendering outside the viewport at all

[storm patio]

do any of the parents of the scrollview have anything (like layout groups) that could affect its positioning? viewport shouldn't be moving.

[tall hearth]

Could they have messed with the scroll view component? And changed what the content reference is without mentioning

[storm patio]

well, they did show it, and the references seem to be correct

(you're on the right path in terms of debugging though)

[tall hearth]

Yeah im on my phone hard to read the low res text

[tardy python]

nope. i also just tried changing the Z Pos of everything else to 1 and the scrollview to 0

[tall hearth]

Is the rect transform of the content the correct size? Same with the one with the mask component (that one should be the size of where you want it to show not the size of the canvas)

[storm patio]

that doesn't affect canvas rendering order afaik.

[tall hearth]

It doesn't

[tardy python]

okay i'm starting to think it's this flexible layout thing i'm using

[tall hearth]

What does content have in it?

Components wise

[tardy python]

it uses a package called flexalon to create a flexible grid layout

so i'm starting to think it's flexalon messing with the rendering

[tall hearth]

Is this flexible grid layout maskable?

[storm patio]

the rendering isn't the issue

the issue is the viewport moving

[tall hearth]

Can you share a video of this

[novel kelp]

Is the visual scripting limited?

Like compared to normal scripting

[vivid cedar]

technically no, but practically yes

and in performance, definitely

[storm patio]

doesn't look like the viewport moved up. nothing you showed really confirms that

look in the scene view with the rect tool, and see if the viewport has moved

[tardy python]

oh i forgot to switch to scene view one sec

[storm patio]

that shows the viewport did not move

[tardy python]

oh crap i guess i was focused on the yellow outlines. so that means the issue IS flexalon

[storm patio]

it is not

your viewport is missing an Image, it seems?

your mask is also disabled

you've removed the 2 things making it work lmao

this is how the viewport is supposed to be set up

the image type is probably not important - you could just create a new scroll layout group and copy over the image in the viewport from there

[tardy python]

oh shit okay it wasn't working before i removed the image. i wanted to be able to see the background gradient through the spacing of the grid i didn't realize you needed the image

Anyone know how to fix a shadow issue in 2d unity.

• I setup a 2d spotlight (with shadow strength 1) and box (with shadow Caster 2D with properties sprite renderer;cast shadow)
  o this setup works well

but i want to mask only the things inside the light area. and when i setup a mask using sprite mask (a triangular area) and then change the boxes "sprite renderer"s mask interaction property to inside the area.

issue: the shadows draw over the boxes.

tried sorting layer, didn't give a satisfactory result

[thick rock]

thank you

[violet thunder]

What do you mean by this?
Practically, Materials are "shader instances" with different properties so maybe you mean that

[dry pier]

editable in inspector

sorry im using unreal terms

[thick rock]

thank you

[violet thunder]

Edit what about it?

[dry pier]

properties/variables

i found out how tho

[thick rock]

thank you

[dry pier]

make it a material variant

[violet thunder]

Are you looking at a read only material? Do you have a material at all?

You should be able to duplicate a readonly mat to make an editable copy

yes i do have a material and no its not a read only

i fixed it tho

[fervent hearth]

I imported the assets in blender but the materials wont appear. what did I do wrong

[undone monolith]

It doesn't work. But nvm I figured it out

The actual way to cancel it is by stopping the action in task manager

[vivid cedar]

Huh?

Modules are things that are installed in the editor installation, like Android Build Support.
That's not something you can stop in the task manager. You must be thinking of something else

[undone monolith]

yeah i'm talking abt the modules

[vivid cedar]

Then what you said doesn't make sense. Task Manager?

[undone monolith]

some of them were taking a while to install so i wanted to stop it, but didn't find any option in the hub

[vivid cedar]

Ok you're talking about cancelling the installation that is currently happening

to remove existing modules you use the hub

[undone monolith]

stopping the action in task manager has stopped installing the modules for the editor

[vivid cedar]

soubnds like your install got stuck

[undone monolith]

yes

[vivid cedar]

Well you didn't say that in your original question, hence the confusion 🙏

PLEASE HELP THERE ARE NO MATERIALS WHEN I EXPORT THE SCENE IN BLENDER.

[reef dome]

Hey, just want to hear some opinions about this, I understand its a very loose question and I'm not looking for a one for all solution, just wanna hear some thoughts:

Im playing around a bit with architecture of the base of a game and I want to look into these 2 options:

1. Having a RootScene that additively loads scenes for whatever the phase the game is in (MainMenu, Level1, Level2)
2. Having a RootScene that loads and unloads prefabs containing the phase of the game (MainMenu, Level1, Level2)

What are your thoughts about it or are there other approaches I could think about? Would appreciate any input 😄

[potent geyser]

Option 1

[near zealot]

I am currently making a game where the player would move on the x axis constantly and I would want the cinemachine camera to only follow the x axis, but I couldn't figure out how. Please can I have some help on this?

[potent geyser]

You can hybrid it to have a LevelScene which itself just spawns in prefabs of levels. Depends on your game.

But for our game, we do Option 1 entirely

[reef dome]

Well what im currently planing the levels will be generated in runtime anyways, so it might just be one level scene after all

Is there any benefits of it that stand out over option 2? Apart from automatically unloading anything that belongs to a scene when i unload it 😄

[potent geyser]

Not really. It's just cleaner in my opinion.

[reef dome]

An idea would be to have an empty transform that follows your player on the X axis via script and you follow that instead

If its possible directly in cinemachine the folks in #🎥┃cinemachine should be better suited to answer

[near zealot]

ah yes thank you

[reef dome]

Alright, thanks for the input then!

Oh as you have practical experience with this, how do you handle Camera / Eventsystem? Just place them on the root or does every "phase" scene bring their own?

[storm patio]

i do this too and i put that stuff in the root scene
i think spawn mightve also used this pattern? i don't remember

mostly just, anything that needs to be a singleton, it's in root

[potent geyser]

For our game the Root holds the camera and the levels have virtual cameras.

[reef dome]

Virtual camera as in cinemachine camera?

[potent geyser]

If a scene (level or otherwise) needs additinK cameras for stacking, they'll have it in theirs.

Yep

[reef dome]

Alright thanks, then my initial approach doesnt seem to have been that bad, I just hate that cinemachine cries for a brain all the time 😄

And UI autogenerates eventsystems all the time

[potent geyser]

Well your Root scene is always loaded?

So the brain should exist

[reef dome]

yeah while I am in play mode it is

so not as bad, the UI thing is more annoying when i try to prototype some UI and it adds another event system cause it doesnt know the root has one

[potent geyser]

We have a custom window that we load our scenes for editing from, which loads the Root and other necessary scenes.

[reef dome]

Oh through your comment I just remembered that you can actually additively load scenes in editor... yeah that solves that problem, thanks!

[plain dagger]

editor scene manager is the goat

[potent geyser]

Make it fancy and it's great.

[deft rock]

I have an asset on the store for this too -

though not all pretty and custom to your game like that ;p

[reef dome]

I like it simple, and unity 6.3 gave me just the tool for that 😄

[potent geyser]

Haha I should have looked first.

[reef dome]

finally extendable toolbars

[plain dagger]

I'm also one to make some level editor gui and add easy play buttons but i cannot share any unfortunately

[deft rock]

this is alright, but how do we load multiple scenes with it, at the same time at edit time?

[reef dome]

its a custom function that runs when i select one of those, so you can do anything

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Toolbars.MainToolbarDropdown.html

at work we also have some nice toolbar tools and similar to the switcher im building now, though that is done via more of a hack that a library implements cause we are not on 6.3

[exotic relic]

That would actually be cool if unity had that built in

[cursive abyss]

Hey i need help i have 2 Questions

1. How can i make a text see trough a wall like X-ray
2. What is an good way for making realisitc objects?

[random barn]

I am making a unity VR game and I see a lot of them seem to do alright. Does anyone have any tips on how to grow the game. In terms of getting more players etc

[fair cove]

Your first question requires a shader, if your using TextMeshPro, there should be a "Distance" shader provided that does this (I believe its called Distance, havnt changed the shader in a while)

Your second question might need more context, what do you mean with "making realistic objects"? Do you mean in Blender? The poly count? PBR shaders for how light bounces off objects? Im guessing your making a hyper-realistic game?

[random barn]

1. Idk
2. Blender

[cursive abyss]

I mean like idk GTA watchdogs and all the big games i tryed low poly but idk it looks so dead

[random barn]

So like yhis level of realism? https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1180330435151147028

[cursive abyss]

oh yes i looks great but a bit to hard to do i guess xD

[random barn]

Its all about blender. Work on making the model look realistic. Then work on textures. The higher resolution the better.

[cursive abyss]

Okay i understand but as i import stuff from blender with nodes it dosent work in unity

[random barn]

You need to bake it all

[cursive abyss]

urm i know the word but not the meaning

[stuck flower]

You will need to rewrite your shaders in Unity

[cursive abyss]

Ohh okay

[stuck flower]

You can bake textures, but not shaders

[cold veldt]

Hey guys unity localization change fonts

I need to make it so that when I change the game language, the font also changes to match that language.

[vivid cedar]

probably with https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.5/api/UnityEngine.Localization.LocalizedFont.html?q=font ? I'm not sure how it works though

[cold veldt]

didn't understand anything

Is there a video showing how to do this?

[vivid cedar]

I'm not sure how it works though

[reef dome]

Perfect, if I load anything other than the root scene it just loads it additively to root and the extra play button loads root and then starts play mode 😄

[glad mantle]

where do i ask questions regarding materials, i dont see a channel for it

anyways how do i get the material to stop doing this

material used to be unlit but i needed lit for the light reflections and now idk why its like segmenting into this

[vivid cedar]

#1390346776804069396

This looks like shadow acne to me

[hard relic]

How could I convert inches to "Unity Units"

[vivid cedar]

Unity units are meters

so look up "inches to meters conversion rate"

(the conversion factor is ~0.0254)

[glad mantle]

k ty

[hard relic]

Okay, thanks. I was trying to recreate a room for a game.

[glad mantle]

turned up depth bias and its pretty small but i cant do anything more because i can't have holes in my shadows with the normal bias up

[fierce shuttle]

is there a way to automate having a debug build which has certain gameobjects enabled that the release build doesn't? like certain UI objects in the scene

[balmy kettle]

You'd have to write some code for it, but you can preprocess scenes during the build process to strip out objects you don't want included in specific kinds of builds. You'll have to check the docs for the specific interface or attribute

[copper gust]

Though generally Unity prefers you do whatever debugging related stuff your doing in an editor exclusive scope that isn’t tied directly to the scene/build

[pliant needle]

does anyone else get a issue where unity doesn't import textures correctly?

cuz its like making my materials weird idk

i made a seperate project where its fine so i have to assume its like a texture missing

[tawny prawn]

Ugh, is rotation snapping broken on 6.3b10? I hold control when rotating an object using the gizmo and it doesn't snap, instead it rotates like crazk like -136 degrees after a small mouse move

[little beacon]

I have a problem when attaching animation to the character, I adjust the character size to make it bigger but when I add this avatar, it has a model error and becomes smaller, so how can I make this avatar bigger?

And 1 more problem is the location of the image. When I added it to the 3D capsule, it was not in the middle but on the left side, so it makes my model look ridiculous. How to change the image location?

[storm patio]

you gotta give some actual info about your problem

[fiery sparrow]

oh yeah sorry

so i moved my project because i was setting up a new folder structure. somewhere along the way something broke (i still can’t figure out what) and now every time i launch the project, even after deleting logs, the library folder and everything else, unity generates around 80 package files in the root of the project. that is the same directory where the library, assets and so on usually sit.

i tried deleting several cache folders, duplicating the project and letting unity regenerate the project solution file. but no matter what i do, unity keeps creating those package files and their .csproj files always end up in the root folder. when i open the project solution, it also always includes these roughly 80 .csproj package files. i will grab some screenshots in a second to show what i mean.

[storm patio]

what files is it generating exactly?

[fiery sparrow]

the .csproj files of for example unity.2d.*

or unity.mathematics

but only csproj files

[vivid river]

These shouldn't be in the root? Mine are

[storm patio]

you sure you're looking at files and not solution?

[fiery sparrow]

but the next issue is that when i open a script it says none of these packages could befound

[storm patio]

(no, they shouldn't be there)

[vivid river]

These?

[storm patio]

yeah, those shouldn't be there afaik

there should only be the ones you're using in your own project

[storm patio]

not any of the internal ones

are you using vs?

[fiery sparrow]

yea

but it used to work every time until i moved the project or renamed a solution file or something but that also used to work before

[storm patio]

i'd guess this could be a new vs bug/feature given that akgamerz also has that

actually, is it unity or vs that's generating those?

[fiery sparrow]

i assume its unity because theres an option to regenerate those files

yet if i do, it still does that in my root dir

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, be sure to set the correct editor in external tools and than regenerate files. Close VS before doing so and also restart Unity and try again

[fiery sparrow]

yea it is set to vs 2022

[vivid river]

This is the project, and when creating a new project it does the same, generating all these projects next to the main sln

[storm patio]

what does "wird geladen" mean?

[ocean pumice]

Being loaded

[fiery sparrow]

loading something

ye

[storm patio]

wait, this is in vscode?

why are the csprojs using the vs icon lmao

[ocean pumice]

Its the default software you choose to open it

[fiery sparrow]

the fun thing is moving used to work before lol it mustve been the change of the solution file name or something? idek haha

my problem isnt even that its creating the files in the root (i dont really care about that) but the solution cant find the unity packages

[storm patio]

my csprojs use this icon

[ocean pumice]

RSS Feed? 😉

[vivid river]

either of these extension is doing that

[storm patio]

probably, yeah

those are some haphazard lines

[fiery sparrow]

im going crazy with this 😂

[storm patio]

if you delete them, and then restart unity or use "regenerate project file" (with vs closed) do they come back?

[fiery sparrow]

yep! but in the root folder. and ONLY the csproj files

[ocean pumice]

So are you on code or studio?

[fiery sparrow]

im in vs2022

studio

[fiery sparrow]

i also get this namespace / assembly warning

[ocean pumice]

Did you rename the sln to cardriftsim?

[storm patio]

(there's 2 different people showing the same symptoms here)

[fiery sparrow]

lmaoo

[ocean pumice]

Ah god damn, thanks 😄

[storm patio]

why do you have that namespace included to begin with

[fiery sparrow]

idek

[ocean pumice]

I know why. Thats VS Studio/Code doing it, because it thinks, you wanted to use visual scripting. Are you using visual scripting? If not, you can remove it anyways from your packages

[storm patio]

you don't need that

you don't need anything from VisualScripting

[copper gust]

visualscripting loves to constantly automatically be added as a namespace

[fiery sparrow]

okay? i have no clue abt this haha

[ocean pumice]

In VSCode you can turn off the autocomplete on file header. There should be an equivalent to studio

[storm patio]

even if you were using visualscripting, you probably wouldn't be working in scripts anyways, so no reason to ever use VisualScripting unless you're making nodes or interfacing with visualscripting

it's probably just because Unity comes before UnityEngine tbh...

[fiery sparrow]

so uninstall this?

[storm patio]

i mean, you could? you don't have to though, really

you can just ignore visualscripting exists

[ocean pumice]

yeh, but thats the issue. Spacebar auto adds namespaces and always runs into visualscripting. Happened to me a lot of times before I turned it off. Its intellisense going crazy on namespaces random suggestions 😄

[storm patio]

oh, ive forgotten space to accept suggestion was a default thing

[ocean pumice]

Sadly yes 😄

[storm patio]

i disabled that years ago lmao

[fiery sparrow]

wait wait so apparently deleting visualscripting made Light2D reappear...?

idk ill check lol

[vivid river]

my vs code only use 110mb, Have you been using it for too long?

[vivid river]

Fresh project

ive used Unity and The vs Studio IDE on my 4GB ram pc but on my laptop with 16gb it lags alot and crashes often

[minor swift]

hi

[mystic abyss]

vscode is a chromium app, which isnt exactly known for efficient memory usage

[minor swift]

I'm using old unity, does anyone know how to fix these errors?

[vivid river]

That's not old, that's ancient, there are some compilation errors, can you send code

[minor swift]

do you know how to fix this?

I'm trying to make a decomp so I can port it to Linux

do you want me to send you the whole project?

[vivid river]

jsut code

[minor swift]

which code

[mystic abyss]

Of what exactly?

[minor swift]

slendrina the cellar

[vivid river]

There is a variable is used in somewhere before its even declared

[minor swift]

which code do you need?

[vivid river]

the error scripts

[minor swift]

how do I exactly open them?

it's my 1st time using unity

[vivid river]

using any code editor

[minor swift]

so... what is the issue?

[pearl oyster]

Discussing decompiled projects isn't allowed in this server, sorry

[minor swift]

alright, I will stop immediately

sorry about that

[turbid rose]

I just got an email saying 6.3 was out as LTS but its not. oof

[vivid river]

wdym its not?

[sly lake]

The download has been up for weeks

[ocean pumice]

not through hub on my side:

[vivid river]

same

[ocean pumice]

its in beta still

[sly lake]

f1 isn't listed but it's up if you have the link

I'd still wait though 😅

[turbid rose]

it was an email not long ago this morning

[vivid river]

Yes

[turbid rose]

saying it is now out on LTS

How do i add someone to my unity project

[vivid river]

unity version control and add members

[little beacon]

Can someone explain for me why i can't adjust functions of each body part model

[tawdry tulip]

Hey guys I am new to unity, I need help making a dialogue system for my project. Its super simple but I have no clue how to do ANYTHING if someone can reach out to help me I will greatly appreciate it.
fyi I've been using AI for my scripts and im failing miserably. Im suppose to be done in 9 hours

[storm patio]

hi, not really how this server works.

have you tried googling for tutorials about those? or if you have and you've encountered an issue, ask about that

though, not many people will be willing to help with AI-generated code

it's.. not fun to work with

[tawdry tulip]

i am rn

[tawdry tulip]

trust me i know

[wise yacht]

Surely you won't learn if you use AI

[limpid hollow]

is there a help channel?

[storm patio]

most of the channels here are help channels #🔎┃find-a-channel

[safe garden]

is there a way to parent an object or prefab to a parent prefab with a hotkey? I usually would use shift P but don't want to change the original Prefab structure, just have the function like dragging a mesh into the prefab so I can override later

[storm patio]

parent an object to its own parent?

[limpid hollow]

anyone knows how do i make it so i move with wasd on unity?

[storm patio]

that's a pretty basic thing, you can google that

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[storm patio]

there are also resources there ^

[limpid hollow]

i mean like the launcher

not ingame

[vivid river]

launcher?

[storm patio]

the editor?

[limpid hollow]

yes im sorry im not that good with wording

[storm patio]

in scene view you can hold right click to use flythrough mode

(this is also something you can google.)

[safe garden]

a hotkey for bringing an asset into the parent prefab like this ( can be seen with the "K_Pipe_12x6" asset

right now I'm having to scroll endlessly to find the right asset, just to drag it in to the prefab

If I try to use 'shift P' for parenting, I will get a cannot restructure prefab instance error

[storm patio]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/SceneViewNavigation.html scroll down to "flythrough mode"

[storm patio]

so just.. normal parenting? im confused why you're calling it the "parent prefab"

[vivid river]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/set-up-the-unity-editor or this

[safe garden]

normal parenting yea, but again if I use Shift P it will come up with the restructure prefab error

[limpid hollow]

flythrough mode is using the arrow keys while im trying to have it change it wasd instead

[storm patio]

that doesn't mention flythrough mode

[storm patio]

flythrough mode uses WASD

maybe you've accidentally rebound them? doesn't seem like they're configurable, nvm

i can't even use arrow keys with flythrough mode, so not sure how you're doing that

[limpid hollow]

im talking about this btw

where i can just fly to anything using wasd thats flightmode right?

[vivid river]

in the scene view

[storm patio]

if you mean in the scene view, that's flythrough, yes.

[storm patio]

maybe it's just because i'm on an old version, but Shift+P doesn't seem to be bound to anything related to that by default for me

what's it bound to for you

[tawdry tulip]

OH MY GOD IM So stupid.... THE PROBEM was the OnClick() thingy!! GUYS I figured it out

[storm patio]

those objects are siblings anyways. how would the keybind know what object you want it to parent to

[limpid hollow]

maybe i should reset unity to default settings

[vivid river]

I think they** are** configurable

[storm patio]

ah. i searched flythrough so i missed them lmao

[limpid hollow]

didn't work

[limpid hollow]

how do i do this?

[vivid river]

[vapid ore]

I can't find any courses that teach 3d modeling.

[vivid river]

Its an game engine

You will find all the resources for making and using Unity for making games not specifically 3d modelling

[vapid ore]

but i cant find tutorial on 3d modeling

[vivid river]

There are plenty of Yotube that teach blender and maya

[vapid ore]

I used blender but it didn't work

what i need is 3d modeling course on unity

[vivid river]

Probuilder?

[potent geyser]

You don't model in Unity beyond basic things with Probuilder.

It's a game engine, not an advanced modelling program.

I'm trying to animate a door opening, old school resident evil style, but it seems to drag the mesh and distort it. This doesn't happen when rotating the door in the editor, just when I press play. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[shut rampart]

Fun fact, just checked license for claimed Megascans assets before they changed license approach for UE, they shifted from UE only to Standard license, so it can be used across multiple softwares including Blender and Unity.

If anyone has claimed all Megascans assets you can use it for production freely.

Before recent changes for licensing

[pearl oyster]

You'll have to show how you're animating it. Preferably in #🏃┃animation (or in #💻┃code-beginner if it's done by code)

[sly lake]

Megascans have always been allowed to use in any engine, it just required a subscription before.

[shut rampart]

Yes but im talking about those free with UE5.

If you claimed all assets available with UE5 before UE5 licence changes it shifted to standard license.

So essentially you can have most of Megascans library for free on standard license free to use anywhere

[stable sky]

Hi! My adjacent terrains sometimes separate and create a gap between them, even though all settings and resolutions match, and their positions are aligned.
It looks like one terrain changes its border height by itself over time.
Why does this happen, and how can I prevent terrain seams from breaking apart?

[plain dagger]

The terrain neighbour thing should prevent this 🤔

[stable sky]

I changed the Grouping ID to 1 and everything fixed itself

[safe garden]

hi gents, quick question - we are building level blocks within a prefab. So dungeon.prefab, etc. the level itself is a prefab. When I go in and even do incremental transforms on a single mesh within that, I get a dialog for a split second or so coming up like this ^

Its fine for the most part but even when you want to do small changes it will update like that. Is there a way to disable that dialog while doing updates? Its not a massive hassle as its so quick but would be nice not to have it appear at all while working

[copper gust]

in prefab context at the top of the scene theres a auto save toggle

[safe garden]

sounds obvious but I'm guessing if you disable autosave you have to manually apply overrides after changes

[copper gust]

you'd just have to save manually while in the prefavb

[safe garden]

thanks!

[fickle rapids]

do you know any solution for this. when i switched from 3d to urp the materials became pink

[potent geyser]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/urp/features/rp-converter.html

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error which usually means you are using shaders not compatible with your current render pipeline

[vivid river]

Window > Rendering > Render Pipeline Converter

[jagged yarrow]

im not sure whats happening but can someone please help

[fickle rapids]

i did that but still pink

[stuck flower]

So you'll probably need to change the shaders manually

[jagged yarrow]

i have an assignment due in today😭

[fickle rapids]

like shadergraph or shader programming?

[stuck flower]

Like, with the drop-down on the material

[radiant niche]

Hello can anyone help with extracting mobile game files

[stuck flower]

You'll need to pick one that is compatible with your pipeline

[radiant niche]

i wanted to see if i could extract files from old games

[stuck flower]

No. #📖┃code-of-conduct

[storm patio]

we don't support modding or decompilation here, sorry

[radiant niche]

Oh

Aww

[fickle rapids]

ok

[radiant niche]

I wonder where to find decomps

Anyone know a server

That could help

[storm patio]

would probably be specific to the game

[radiant niche]

call of mini zombies

Does that count

[storm patio]

google that with "decompilation" or whatever

we can't help you further

[radiant niche]

Oka 👍🏻 you the goat

Also sorry for not following the rules

[jagged yarrow]

am i mutted

[vivid river]

your sent message does;nt seems like you are

[jagged yarrow]

can i get some help please then broski

[stuck flower]

If someone knows they will answer. Do you want 25,000 people to all individually reply "I dunno"?

[jagged yarrow]

wouldnt mind

my projects saved to an external harddrive if that helps

[gusty abyss]

Probably not a super big accomplishment but I got Unity working in Arch

[ocean needle]

https://gemini.google.com/share/2e1e05238933 i asked a technial question to ai . is that correct?

[vivid cedar]

Yes looks correct

Your question was a bit odd

But I think it's kinda missing some context here.

You're probably wondering about coroutines, which are a feature of Unity that depends on IEnumerator

Without the unity context it just told you about their role in foreach

[ocean needle]

yeah

sorry i didnt know coroutine belongs to unity's libary

[vivid cedar]

Coroutines are a feature of unity ythat depends on a feature in C# called iterator methods, which itself depends on IEnumerator.

Ask gemini about "iterator methods" in C# and how they work to make Unity coroutines work

it will give you a nice detailed answer

[ocean needle]

thank you

gemini has something no other ai has . there is a tool searchs everything ai said in the google and provides you a source

[vivid cedar]

Yeah it's pretty good. I subscribed to the pro plan myself.

[ocean needle]

i am universty student i got it for free :D

[vivid cedar]

nice!

[ocean needle]

but only for a year.... :(

[vivid cedar]

Ah yeah I have a free trial for a year too, got it from buying my Google phone

[ocean needle]

google have phone?

[vivid cedar]

Anyway I find it super helpful. I've started using Antigravity (their IDE) for Unity development as well

[fathom schooner]

Arch btw

[stuck flower]

You know what else is capable of searching everything in google? google.

[gusty abyss]

Don’t check my bio

[ocean needle]

it is possible for small text but i am not going to search every sentence 1 by 1 if ai gave me 5 page long essay

[fathom schooner]

I already did lol And got scared by your profile pic 👍

I use Mint btw 🗿

[gusty abyss]

I was gonna change it eventually

[gusty abyss]

Your not gonna believe what I use

[ocean needle]

what is it Arch

[vivid river]

I use Debian

[gusty abyss]

Gulp

[radiant niche]

H e l p

[radiant niche]

Also hello again

Question

did you figure it out

[vivid river]

Whats wrong in debian

[radiant niche]

Like converted it to fbx

🤔

[gusty abyss]

Yall should switch to arch

It’s the easiest Linux install ever

[radiant niche]

no no im putting it in blender

Since im gonna animate it

[vivid river]

no i had driver issues

[radiant niche]

Akgamerz

[gusty abyss]

Not my fault

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🐧┃linux room.

[gusty abyss]

Arch comes preinstalled with nvidia drivers if you have it

[gusty abyss]

Oh yeah

[fathom schooner]

Sorry

[radiant niche]

Is anyone here familiar with

[gusty abyss]

Arch

Yes

We should move to the Linux channel

[radiant niche]

Oh i see

[fathom schooner]

I started Unity yesterday, by the way

[gusty abyss]

Atleast you aren’t weird and choose godot

You chose a goat engine

[storm patio]

please stop asking about decompilation

[radiant niche]

Wrong server

[fathom schooner]

I've been playing around with a bunch of engines recently, that one included. Now it's time for Unity. Which I'm really liking so far

[normal stag]

i dont tolerate godot slander

[gusty abyss]

I tolerate poodot slander

[normal stag]

glazing unity after their greedy attempt at getting more money is crazy

[stuck flower]

Is school out early

[vivid river]

70% market share of mobile games

[stuck flower]

It's a bit early in the month for the year to be over, isn't it?

[gusty abyss]

Desktop does exist Yknow

[normal stag]

so if i priced my game 80 bucks on mobile but 20 bucks on steam it's fine cuz "desktop does exist yknow"

this gotta be ragebait

[vivid river]

Genshin is made with unity, desktop games does exists

[normal stag]

i like unity as a engine but i dont like the people behind it bro 💔

[gusty abyss]

Make UnUnitied Unity

Like how someone made UnGoogled Chrome

[normal stag]

no

[gusty abyss]

You get to control it

[normal stag]

ungoogled chrome is just chromium bro

[gusty abyss]

Never used it so I wouldn’t know

[normal stag]

i've never used it but it's litterally in the name

[gusty abyss]

Then is Google Chrome just chromium

[normal stag]

no

google chrome is built on chromium

[gusty abyss]

It’s in the name

[normal stag]

it's just like how arch isnt linux

arch is built on linux

[gusty abyss]

Yes

But arch doesn’t have Linux in the name

Google Chrome does

[vivid river]

Arch Linux is the full name

[normal stag]

yes it does

[gusty abyss]

Guess I’m stupid then

[normal stag]

professional dumbass suits you 🥹 🙏

[gusty abyss]

That’s why I put it there

[normal stag]

good job ❤️

[ocean needle]

is chromium like roblox studio and chrome , yandex , opera all the products made by that?

[normal stag]

i do not understand the question

[brave ridge]

you can google this very easily, just the overview on google tells you this

[storm sierra]

Godot doesn't let you do multi threaded code, micromanage data, or switch the type of data types into persistent or temp

Your so limited on options I am surpised you can making anything but a phone game

[normal stag]

i don't know what any of this means so i don't think it's really an issue

[storm sierra]

Your essentially playing with a bike stuck with 1 gear, while I can just add more gears to my bike

Or a car stuck in stick shift with no way to shift gears

[normal stag]

i like unity and godot

unity for bigger projects and godot for prototypes to see if game idea is fun

[storm sierra]

Honestly I am only using unity because it uses c# and has support for multi threaded burst with a pipeline into compiled c++

90% of unity users I have spoken to rarely use the features I only use lmao.

[undone monolith]

Oh cmon

I just got 6.0 LTS

Now I have to get 6.3 😭

[vivid river]

im still at 2021 🥀

[reef dome]

Ehh finally LTS

I cant wait to get my hands on the multiplayer templates, I finally want to see how they unified gameobjects with the entities netcode 😄

[storm sierra]

Same

[mint gull]

why dont you upgrade

[vivid river]

First of all there is 9mb left on my ssd, and my projects are on that 2021-22 version, ill first complete or do something about them then upgrade the full project to latest ones

[reef dome]

The earlier you upgrade, the less stuff you have to update 😄

[copper gust]

9mb left on your ssd is fucked

[final canopy]

can it be possible to allow us to change the cover picture of our post in #1180170818983051344 please?

[stuck flower]

If you edit the post to have a different embed it might work

[undone monolith]

This 6.3 will remain for two years?

[stuck flower]

if not, that's a discord thing

[reef dome]

Yes, until then they want to have 6.6/6.7 out as the next LTS

[mossy parrot]

Hi! 👋
I have a question related to Unity WebGL, Next.js, and Auth.js, but I’m not sure which channel is the right one to post it in.

I’m trying to figure out how to link an anonymous token generated in Next.js with a Google account (Auth.js) for a Unity WebGL game. I’ve already opened a topic here:
https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-link-an-anonymous-token-generated-in-next-js-with-a-google-account-auth-js-for-a-unity-webgl-game/1698530

Could someone please tell me where I should post this question on the Discord to get the best help?
Thank you so much 🙏

[reef dome]

#🌐┃web

[undone monolith]

So LTS versions don't update often as the other editors yeah?

[mild radish]

you just edit the first post.. (it'll use the image that post uses)

[reef dome]

They get stability updates, but new features usually go in 6.4 6.5 etc

[noble laurel]

hey guys i have a question how can we make our own game engine in 3d

[mild radish]

how is that Unity-talk?

[noble laurel]

idk coz unity is game engine

[reef dome]

But your own engine is not unity

[mild radish]

lol

[undone monolith]

This is not even related to Unity

[noble laurel]

i dont have engine

[undone monolith]

Get Unity

[noble laurel]

can we use unity

[undone monolith]

Obviously

[mild radish]

im soo lost

[noble laurel]

oh

[final canopy]

Ok I tried but it only managed to delete the image I had and im not able to add a new one for the first message post anymore so now I end up with nothing 🙁

[noble laurel]

is unity easy

[vivid river]

yes

[sudden ruin]

i believe you had to edit the first post rather than delete it. you might need to make a new one

[noble laurel]

you made 3d multiplayer fps in it

[mild radish]

you can upload ur image somewhere like one of ur github repo's or pages

edit: (may be just more worth-while to copy out the information and create a new one deleting the old one)
using w/e image you want.. (to be permanent)

and use a link to embed the image

like digi had mentioned

[balmy palm]

When unity updates does vs studio’s interactions with unity also get updated?

[final canopy]

Ok I managed to simply insert my youtube video and now it use this as the picture, great!

[mild radish]

cool, good stuff 👍

[balmy palm]

You can make anything with programming. Engines like unity just hand over all the tools you need typically for making games. But you can also do alot of other stuff in it.

[vivid river]

Its an workshop with all the tools given

[balmy palm]

Yup.

[noble laurel]

i am new to this stuff i tried it 4 years ago gave up and now im back and im even more clueless

[mild radish]

oof.. those aren't very good metrics 🤣

best way to learn is to do in all honesty

[balmy palm]

Yeah.. but think of it this way. The more of your time you spend on trying to learn it even if it seems like you’re not making any progress, as long as you do it repeatedly, you’ill only end up learning.

[noble laurel]

i didn't really understood the software that much

maybe im dumb

[vivid river]

i also took a little break but when i came back everything was familiar

[balmy palm]

Yeah same. I felt alot more comfortable as well.

[mild radish]

theres a phase where sometimes ur just following the motions..
they'll be a eureka or a "click" moment.. where it makes sense..

then u build off of what u learned...

rinse repeat

[balmy palm]

Watch a tutorial and try to follow it. Even learning the interface is a huge progress. At first you’ill only understand the most basic of things which is normal. You need to learn them

[noble laurel]

i see at that time i copied some tutorial made some 3d board game with mlapi i think and connected it to photon i might still have the exe for it and the android build but i kinda lost the files idk that was sketchy project later on i realised im js following it

[fringe mortar]

!bug

[vagrant root]

Reporting bugs

🪲 To make bug reporting as quickly as possible, we made a bug reporting application for you. When running Unity choose Help->Report a Bug in the menu, or you can access it directly through the executable in the directory where Unity is installed. It will also launch automatically if you experience a crash.

📝 If your bug report is to do with Documentation, either an error, typo, or omission, you can report it by scrolling to the bottom of the page where you found the issue and click ‘Report a problem on this page’!

💡If your report is to do with a new feature idea, you can check the Unity Product Roadmaps page to see if your idea has already been planned.

For more complete instructions on how to report bugs, access: https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

[mild radish]

you probably shouldn't start w/ multiplayer unless u like pain

[noble laurel]

the thing is it still works idk how and people could connect using the relay service of photon in it

[mild radish]

best to learn the workflows.. the engine.. etc.. w/ very small and simple prototypes..

get the hang of the engine before even considering multiplayer

[balmy palm]

You’ill be following as long as you don’t understand the interface and the basics.

But tutorials help you learn the interface and the basica of programming. If you try, you can only gain, not lose

[noble laurel]

thanks for ur motivation i will now try to understand its fundamentals more

i would try to find a video or two of the game im talking about and send it in showcase too

tho its 4 year old but yea wtver

[balmy palm]

Goodluck. And remember, losing is never bad. It’s frustrating but that’s a part of programming for beginners. It feels like you can’t do anything.

[noble laurel]

the harder the thing the softer the result

idk what i said

but yea i gotchya

[balmy palm]

But you are already learning it. That’s the progress along the way or whatever metaphorical thing

People say

[balmy palm]

Yeah. Definitely. It’s so time consuming if you wanna make something remotely robust.

[noble laurel]

i saw there is some llm thing also now that uses claude opus or gemini idk to create prototypes

[noble laurel]

game dev is one of the most time consuming things, i have tried learning video editing, music production and a lot of things but game dev definitely frustrated me the most

[storm patio]

do you want to make something yourself and learn or do you want to have some machine make a half-baked soulless version for you

[vivid river]

ialso the heard some chatgpt plugin in unity a while ago

does it exists

[balmy palm]

Music creating and video editing can be just as time consuming but i suppose if you want to make a full on game, it would take the longest

But that’s if you include assets and such

[balmy palm]

Honestly somebody has probably made that.

[noble laurel]

in case of unity llm for now isn't that useful

i agree with that

[balmy palm]

Although i would never use it myself. I even turned off suggestions

[stuck flower]

If you want to create a dreamlike inconsistent mess that's not worth ever actually playing you can just close your eyes and pretend instead of using the power output of a small nation to churn out more slop onto the internet

[noble laurel]

a lot of fooking crazy stuff scripts shaders models systems that wont break a lot of testing and mechanics basically everything is totally a new skill set inside game dev

[storm patio]

llm isn't really useful for much. definitely not as much as the marketing people want you to believe

[balmy palm]

It’s like combining pieces of code you asked chatgpt and combining them like a franken steins

It doesn’t teach you code structure and especially doesn’t do you good in learning and memory

That’s for sure

[noble laurel]

well i think you are right cause i tried it and it was trash for now

[tawdry tulip]

hey guys.. I made a gmae and when I published it. I saw THIS. LIKE... how do I fix this :(((

[balmy palm]

It’s not that it’s trash. It just does it for you.

And at that point you’re not programming. You’re just asking.

[stuck flower]

You're going to have to explain what "this" means.

[vivid river]

whats the problem

[noble laurel]

i mean thats the most unproductive way of using ai because it can't handle files folders and doesn't have access to command line in the browser.

[tawdry tulip]

the first picture is OLD like I saw that when I published. but that is VERY VERY old...

I want it so when I push I see my MainMenu scene 🙁 NOT THIS OUTDATED BABY

[noble laurel]

i wonder that experienced developers could utilise ai in a more productive way than we all can ever imagine

[stuck flower]

What scenes are included in your build index

[stuck flower]

Okay, and when you load MainMenu and hit play, what do you see

[tawdry tulip]

dis

[balmy palm]

You could definitely use it for something you’re not learning like perhaps creating a plugin for a software that you’re using to save time. But never ever use it on a language you’re learning. Because you’ll start to delearn if that’s even a word, really quick.

[stuck flower]

So then your build settings are correct. Did you actually do the build and did it complete

[tawdry tulip]

Yup

I pressed publish 😄

[noble laurel]

the thing is that it is not even that good to rely on completely so i could nvr be dependent on it for this time atleast lol

[tawdry tulip]

i CANT build :<

[balmy palm]

I would personally never use it. It would be like asking a ai to draw the trace lines for me. And suddenly i can’t draw lines

[noble laurel]

thats unique

[tawdry tulip]

:> IK IT IS

[noble laurel]

agree with you totally, you are right

[normal stag]

honestly bro

just tell the build button to work

[stuck flower]

This isn't your active platform. You need to switch to it first

Then you can build it

[tawdry tulip]

... IM SORRY BUT HOW....

I JUST Started using unity

[stuck flower]

Well, there's only three buttons

one of them you've tried

one of them is disabled

so what do you think is the next step

[vivid river]

Switch platform

[tawdry tulip]

uhm... switch platform..?

[noble laurel]

i would have probably close the project at this point thinking its glitched

[tawdry tulip]

YIPIEEEEEEEEEE

[stuck flower]

That would probably be the button to click on if someone told you to switch to a platform

[tawdry tulip]

IM SORRY IM JST SICK AND I HAVE TOO MANY HEADACHES 🙁

BUT TRST I WIILLL LEARN FR

[sly lake]

Sounds like a good time to pull out the sign

Just replace “Unreal” with “Unity”

[normal stag]

uninstall unreal entirely

[noble laurel]

that thing would probably blow my pc if i try to open it

[balmy palm]

Start using unity’s particle system today!

[tawdry tulip]

NUH UH DEADLINE IS TODAY plus im using UNITY 🤓 Not unreal 🤡

LIKE TWIN CMONNN

[balmy palm]

Dude you’re using unreal engine. You literally cook your files and fry em up.

[noble laurel]

i got the game i made 4 yrs ago

[tawdry tulip]

No me using UNITY BOY

[balmy palm]

Great! You can download the unity particle system from the unity assets store today!

[noble laurel]

bruh fk i didn't know i said words in it

[tawdry tulip]

twin how much you getting paid..?

the bills cant be that high 😭

[balmy palm]

Nah dude. I’m like the average unity helper.

NOOO

YOU DIDN’’T

[tawdry tulip]

67

67

67

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

[stuck flower]

I coulda sworn school wasn't out for another few weeks what is up with today

[tawdry tulip]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY TAKE SO LONG!??!???!?!??

WHY SO QUEERIOUS MAN

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

😭 🙏

[charred fog]

Chill with the spam.

[tawdry tulip]

okie papa 🙁

[balmy palm]

Different timezones or perhaps different regions?

[charred fog]

If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't spam the channel. With emotes or otherwise.

@tawdry tulip

[tawdry tulip]

YES SIR 🫡

[vivid river]

average build size: >1GB

[tawdry tulip]

GUYS IT WORKED 😄 THANK YALLL SMMMM

[balmy palm]

It lags on a good computer as well lol

[tawdry tulip]

SO GUYS... Can yall like YK Lmk HOW THE FLUCK yall are so good at unity 😭

[vivid cedar]

practice

[vivid river]

true dat

[tawdry tulip]

wat abt coding

[storm patio]

practice

these are skills

you improve them like you would any other skill

with practice, experience, exposure, and research

[tawdry tulip]

yeah how did yall learn it?

[storm patio]

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

[vivid cedar]

School, then as a job, and also practice

[vivid river]

Yotube & docs

[vivid cedar]

Turns out schools teach stuff

[tawdry tulip]

OK WAIT Is it similar to python :3

[vivid cedar]

Is what similar to python?

[tawdry tulip]

c#

[vivid cedar]

Only in that they are both imperative programming languages

[vivid river]

mainly documentation beacuse i was confortable in untiy and .net so the api was like easy

[stuck flower]

practice.

[storm patio]

[stuck flower]

I almost added a triple kill to the pile

[tawdry tulip]

guys is c# similar to python 😭

[stuck flower]

but I was just barely slow enough that the others rolled in before I typed it

[vivid river]

no

[stuck flower]

[undone monolith]

Wait I thought it was

It's easier to hop onto python if we learn C# yeah?

[storm patio]

every language is easier if you learn another language first

your first language is always the hardest

[noble laurel]

nah

[undone monolith]

Oh that's a fair point 🤔

[storm patio]

and i mean.. c# can be similar to python if you're comparing c#, python, and html. it's all relative

[noble laurel]

gdscript is more like python c# is a lot diff from that

probably lua scripting is also similar to python

[lapis gate]

c# similar to java

[vivid river]

is it?

[lapis gate]

python is more of a scripting language

[storm patio]

it's probably the closest pair of non-derivative languages

[lapis gate]

c#/java more the OOP - let's make everything a reference type of languages

[sudden ruin]

have any of the existing editor bugs been fixed in 6.3?

[light ivy]

yes, many bug fixes in 6.3

https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/6000.3.0f1#notes

[fathom schooner]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/coast-dunes-environment-dynamic-nature-beach-sea-islands-dry-des-309456 When you get assets like these, do you get all the individual pieces like the little rocks and the materials to build scenes from them yourself?

[sudden ruin]

usually yes, but you can check the package content on the asset store page or reach out to the asset creator to make sure

[fathom schooner]

And whatever you need to do the little mountains and stuff

[fathom schooner]

Ohh I see. Because I would love to build scenes like these without having to make everything myself

[blazing depot]

Is it possible to. Make actual apps instead of just games in unity??

[sudden ruin]

games are actual apps, but yes

[fathom schooner]

Is there a word or a simpler way of describing what I'm talking about?

[sudden ruin]

modular pieces/separate models

[terse marten]

Hello 👋

[balmy kettle]

usually there are better tools to make non-game applications than unity
but yes, it is technically possible, though, again, there are better tools to do so

[vivid river]

Android studio

[fathom schooner]

Thank you 😁

[vivid river]

Cinematics and movies are also made

[river wigeon]

Hello, I’m translating games so I can play them in my own language. I’ve now decided to start working inside this engine. Could someone help me with one thing? How can I extract files into a single file without breaking their format? If I do them one by one, it ends up being thousands. Is there a shortcut or method to do this? Anyone who knows could help?

[balmy kettle]

modding third party games, asset ripping, and decompilation are topics that are off limits in this server #📖┃code-of-conduct

[river wigeon]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I was just asking for a little help. Almost no game has our language.

[sly lake]

Thanks for linking that! I’ve been looking for a European beachgrass model for months!

[noble laurel]

you probably gotta select a 2d template project, tho unity just fixes axis and removes skybox in it but its still better for app purposes since u will be using and creating mostly UI and backend so you won't require those additional 3d resources that unity provide. I would still suggest sticking to making games with unity, for app development stick to anything that provide you cross platform access such as flutter maybe with google dart. You can still try making apps in unity if you feel other things will be way more intense for you.

[drowsy sierra]

anyone know anything about VRM exporting? im using UniVRM and trying to export, everything works except it wipes my spring bones when i export, cant find any solution to this online

[ocean needle]

help i pressed something wrong . objects spanps and i can move them mostly anywhere instead of pivot point

[vivid river]

maybe you set them to local/global

[vivid cedar]

Not clear exactly what you mean, but the grid/snap settings and the pivot location settings are all here

[ocean needle]

i dont know what i have done it happened suddenly . probably missclick

[vivid cedar]

Center/Pivot should almost always be on Pivot

[ocean needle]

i still can drag them from corners why that happened

[vivid cedar]

Shouldn't be. If it's on pivot and the sprite renderer is using the default Square sprite it should be in the center I believe

Does the Platforms object have a weird scale or rotation or something?

[ocean needle]

i cant use rect tool because of this 😭

[vivid cedar]

try rebooting unity?

[craggy pollen]

probably because you parented them to the Platforms gameObject

[ocean needle]

impossbile 5 min ago it was fine

[ocean needle]

worked

thank you

💟

[craggy pollen]

hmm ok

[fathom schooner]

[gray frigate]

yooo

[fathom schooner]

@sly lake do you do environment design?

[craggy pollen]

it is actually called level design

[sly lake]

Yes.

My style isn’t realistic but I can convert the plants to my style

[fathom schooner]

How can I get into doing stuff like that? I love realistic nature environments like the ones from the Horizon games or Shadow of The Tomb Raider

[fathom schooner]

🤯

That looks great

[fathom schooner]

(I'm brand new. I started yesterday lol)

[sly lake]

Study art and photography. Color theory, composition, etc. Very important.

Most of it’s just learning to see like an artist, I guess.

[fathom schooner]

I wanted to put emphasis on the visual part. Because level design to me is more about gameplay 😅

[sly lake]

Yes, they’re separate

[fathom schooner]

That makes sense

I was asking more from the software side of things

[fathom schooner]

But yes, this is probably the most important part lol

[lapis gate]

I've been eyeing a bunch of stylized terrains and I noticed that they seem to do a very heavy mesh workflow for cliffs and using the terrain as a guideline

[sly lake]

Yeah, that’s what I do.

[lapis gate]

I wanted to try something similar. I guess it's time I go eye some rocks for a few hours

May just go grab some asset packs I guess

[normal stag]

unity is already pushing it tbh

[noble laurel]

it does but unreal does it even more rn these are some complex engine bois

[lapis gate]

doesn't help that unreal enables all post-proccessing effects by default

sure love editing my scene with motion blur

[noble laurel]

lmao i can just imagine that stuff like that can really fk up ur pc coz in after effects turning on the motion blur quickly makes the software laggy and unreal is doing something similar but with 3 d elements and much more complex stuff lol by default

[ocean needle]

did you simplifed your objective and seperated into phases?

i guess this server focused on game devoplers rather than other type of users

i am a regular user like you brother

i dont know

i just made a suggestion

[mild radish]

niche category... but you can get help/learn in generals// and apply that to robotics

i dabble with embed work and cross-platform unity IoT stuff

but theres no dedicated channels for such stuff however

plus Unity is Unity stuff.. for the actual hardware and sensors and whatever ur using on the robotics side.. thats actually not related to Unity...

you'd have better luck using the approprate resources for those things.. but u can learn enough of Unity to understand how to connect, read/write, with those accessories

[fathom schooner]

Why do you guys prefer Unity over the competition? Just curious. I'm still in the process of choosing my tools

[balmy kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1202155978372423690

[mild radish]

you can make a thread here..

[fathom schooner]

Should I ask there? :O

[balmy kettle]

yes, that conversation should take place in that thread and not here

you may also want to consider reading the information in the thread before just dumping your question there considering the entire point of it is to answer that specific question

[mild radish]

and explain urself a bit better Dhruvi.. be specific when refering to robot's head.. receiving camera feed.. and so on.. if ur working with robotics and real-world systems try to be descriptive ~~explainative ~~enough to know what in Unity could we help with in regards

[fathom schooner]

Oh ok. Thank you

[ocean needle]

The Godot community is so small. Unreal is like using a Tsar bomb for coal mining if you’re not making a large-scale game; even if you are making a large-scale game, they don't support 2D.

So, when you eliminate other engines and compare them to Unity in categories like community size, complexity, ease of use, and tools that make your life easier, your only real option becomes Unity

[fleet canopy]

oh this is like physical hardware feeding into unity

interesting

[mental pulsar]

Hey, just saw this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amTgA77p53Q

I'm interested in Platform Toolkit, but in the video she mentions that you'll need Unity Pro for platforms not in the core of the toolkit, so for platforms like Epic and GOG i would need to pay a Pro subscription for it, even tho it's not necessary at all to develop on those platforms and their docs/sdks are open?

[ocean needle]

he making unity robotics

[balmy kettle]

presumably they are referring to platforms that do require having a pro subscription, and not just platforms that aren't currently supported by the package

[fleet canopy]

console as an example you need pro for it (for some reason)

[mental pulsar]

Hope so

Cuz i have a game to port to epic/gog/xbox game pass and this would help a hell lot

[balmy kettle]

pretty sure you'll need the pro sub for xbox game pass anyway

[sly lake]

Game Pass has PC-only games too

Including some low-profile stuff, so not at rare exception or anything

[ocean needle]

make sense actully . imagine millions playing your game but technicly no one is bought it but you earning money

[mental pulsar]

Now this will get pretty annoying, it would be nice to have a way of disabling those warnings

[ocean needle]

did you tried to make Public

instead of public

capitals are important

[unique cedar]

common guys. be serious

[ocean needle]

@balmy kettle i tried my best 😭

[balmy kettle]

correct capitalization is important, which is why you shouldn't be suggesting incorrect capitalization as a guess

[unique cedar]

public is C# keyword

[ocean needle]

tbh i never checked the way unity wrting the monobehaviours

@balmy kettle first time i saw JetBrains Rider do you know why its not popular?

[balmy kettle]

i don't know why you are pinging me for that question. but it is popular. it's just not the default that unity installs for you, nor was it always Free*
-# *only for non-commercial use

[celest oar]

Is there a way to change the thread icon in dev-logs?

[ocean needle]

i choosed you as my mega ultra mentor of information this is why i pinged you for that question

[mental pulsar]

Does anyone know the docs to Platform toolkit? Cannot find it anywhere and there's just this custom windows to it, like, where do i define the platforms i wan't, specify the configs and so on?

Ty

[carmine hemlock]

Oh hey, that's my team's new feature, I hope you like it!

[mental pulsar]

Man if it works as expected this will save me few weeks/months, thanks for this

Also, is there already support for GOG/EGS or it's planned? If not, can we implement custom stores?

[ocean needle]

what it do exactly?

[carmine hemlock]

There's no support for those stores yet, but you're not the only one to ask for them, so I hear you loud and clear, we will investigate. Custom implementations are not supported or recommended at this time I'm afriad.

[storm patio]

you mean this thing?

[carmine hemlock]

A single async API that lets you manage users, make save files, unlock achievements etc across multiple platforms without writing custom code.

[mental pulsar]

And trust me, it will save you A LOT of pain, look at this *** piece of junk i had to write

Just to get achievements working on one platform is already a pain in the ***

In Epic for example you have to authenticate the user, create a separate dev auth, make a request to get achievement definitions, make another request to get achievements progress, get the achievements interface, and just then you can start checking/unlocking achievements

(and every step can fail in lots of different ways, some stores need custom callbacks/initialization steps and so on and so forth)

And after you think you got everything right you'll probably fail in their validation process couple times and have to fix things again

My fear became true, Unity Pro subscription needed not only for closed platforms but also for Steam and so on

[unique cedar]

VSCode is working out of the box. Even with debugger. One more inconvenience with Visual Studio 2026(
For future readers. Visual Studio 2026 support is clanky at this moment. Use VS2022 or VSCode with Unity + C# plugins.

[mental pulsar]

It works just fine

[unique cedar]

What did u do? Which components did you install?

[mental pulsar]

Just installed it with default options for Unity (Desktop development with .NET and Desktop Development with Unity)

[celest oar]

yes, preview image can change?

[unique cedar]

heh. same

[mental pulsar]

The only issue i have with it is that some times it takes a while to initialize properly (specially the first time of the day), but still it's only some seconds

[unique cedar]

territory (

[storm patio]

the preview image is not an icon lol, but yeah it's just pulling whatever's embedded from the first message.
you can edit your message to have a link with an embed if you want, but the cover image isn't directly modifiable

[mental pulsar]

Try installing Visual C++ all in one, it's usually missing something in there that a newer version may use

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

[unique cedar]

Nah. It's unclever move for my perfect C++ dev environment.

[storm patio]

i mean, vscode is also perfectly fine

[mental pulsar]

I always had problems with it, their plugins that are necessary for autocompletion are not constantly updated and new features always have completion problems

(i use it all the time with non-compiled things and its great, just not with Unity)
