[mystic kestrel]

does anyone know how I can mask out something like a curved line png in the UI? Like the line being masked-out from one point to the other as a slider is dragged left or right? I just need a jumping off point bc im drawing a blank about how id go about this

[storm patio]

sounds like it'd be related to splines

[unique cedar]

anyway @mental pulsar thx for feedback. At least someone succeed in this migration 🥲

[polar basalt]

i think i found a very weird bug in unity

setting Time.timescale in Awake works in editor

but doesnt work in build IL2CPP

[vivid cedar]

make a development build and put a Debug.Log right before it, and see if it shows up in the logs

[polar basalt]

yep as you can see

Time Scale = 0 does get set in awake

[sage pewter]

anyone else getting issue with the 6.3 upgrade from 6.2 LTS project?

it is mostly on the rendering package

6.2 has URP 17.3 which is the standard for 6.3 however, it is giving issues

previous upgraded grom 6.x were flawless

[sweet tartan]

You might have an execution order issue. The order that awakes happen isn't deterministic

[polar basalt]

I can just do it on start IG

but its weird

[sweet tartan]

why is it weird? I assume you have other scripts setting timeScale which is why this appears, so I would consider this to be a code failure on your part

[polar basalt]

nope i removed other scripts to test it

oh...

ahahahahhaha

i made a script that would reset timescale on scene load

i forgot about that, and it was a donotdestroy instantiated

oops

😭

but why does it not change on editor tho thats weird

prob just code execution

[normal stag]

light mode 💀

[polar basalt]

that is the notepad..

[storm sierra]

So I was wondering, how common is it among other devs to write docs on their code

I do it often

[mild grove]

Hey, any idea on when the Cyberweek sale ends?

[normal stag]

you don't have notepad++ ????

it's free you should get it

[polar basalt]

maybe later but i dont use notepad anyways

[normal stag]

ok

[fair cove]

Depends on the code, if its generic/reusable or for a framework/API or asset or for a project where a designer needs to understand some code or its for a specific client by request ill usually document, otherwise I usually try to document as little as possible (outside of functions that might be genuinely confusing like math formulas), I like the idea that code "comments itself" when it is written clear enough that a comment would just repeat the obvious in a way, but this assumes that either im the only one looking at my code, or I know the people who will be looking at it, all understand the syntax well enough that a comment wont help add context for them

[dim wind]

I have a multiplayer fps game literally so close to completion, I know it’ll probably get no players since I won’t release it on steam but how can I be motivated to release it and finally complete it

[forest otter]

Hey guys I got a question. I am looking to make a relatively small horror game. At least 4 levels, 15-30 minutes of gameplay, and was wondering, would my game benefit from abstract systems, asset managers, static game manager, ui system, etc, or should I keep everything scene based with dontdestroyonload?

[hushed hamlet]

Probably both (early on). You want some reusable peices for input, dialogs, etc. But the scenes can be laid out individually.

I find environment, props, and the story is unique per scene, data loading, input, character, etc is often reusable

For a quick project

Its not uncommon to also have those props prefabs that are reused

[forest otter]

So when you say reusable, do you just mean dontdestroyonload gameobjects that have scripts attached with singleton instances?

[hushed hamlet]

Not necessarily... I usually do one singleton (game manager) which may have children (i.e. audio controller) that it carries. But thats more for convenience. Another example is my persistent data loader.

I mean more like using inheritance if you are say doing something more than once. So if you want objects you csn carry, like a box, wood or a rock - having them inherit themselves from a base Interactable (or as a more abstract core script for all objects) means you can write it once and use it many times.

At the same time, I wouldnt make the entire scene something abstract, just the reusable parts

[forest otter]

Yeah I just didn't know if I should add like... static factories and stuff that makes a new gameobject, but since the method is static, I can just call something like "AudioManager.Create()" in a initializer

And that would make a new GameObject with the AudioManager script that I could tie to a Game Manager static class

[hushed hamlet]

I think it just depends on the context. Like if its a space shooter with a lot of proc gen spaces and spawning enemies - having a factory makes sense. If its like a 2D platformer with specific enemies, its probably better to just use prefabs. Whatever is quickest for the workflow for the game you are making.

[forest otter]

Well it's going to be a 3D first person horror game with about 4 levels, and each level is going to have a "section" that controls game flow. Subscribes to events, etc

The only thing I don't know how to do though is tie it in with a save/load system, because then I would have to coordinate a specific section with the player's load location and initialize everything for that specific section

[hushed hamlet]

That makes sense. Its kind of hard for me tk explain, but I made the templates for the team to use. One of the most used is the Step Manager, which essentially does (unityevents), waits for (genericevents) then does more (unityevents) before going to the next step.

So it could wait for a light switch or dialog to finish before continuing. Etc.

An example is:

• pre: turn on the light
• wait: for a Light Off event
• post: show dialog
• post: turn light back on

But you won't find your flow for that until you go through a few projects

But I built that for a project about 8yrs back and we've reused it in like 70 projects since. So was worth the time to make it i suppose

[forest otter]

Yeah, I mean, and I know this isn't a code channel so I'm not asking for help, but let's say one scene loads, and I want a controller for that level that subscribes to events such as if a door opens, what should the game do, stuff like that. Maybe objectives the player should do in a sequential/random order to progress, etc

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah exactly, thats what I made our step manager to do. It basically controls the business logic or story.

It basically makes it really easy to wire up the entire scene without writing code.

I've been meaning to opensource it in case it helps others, but just been busy. A dialog controller is also a good one to make reusable, so you can easily kick off a dialog (i.e. DialogController.instance.ShowMessage("hello?...");)

But those are all also super helpful for your next game

[forest otter]

Yeah that's what Mike Desjardins did for Bendy and the Ink Machine. And he reused the same for Dark Revival. If I recall correctly, he made a dictionary of a string constant (whatever dialogue line) and an audio clip, and then whatever line he gives it, play the corresponding dialogue

No wait, he did it where he fed it a certain audioclip with Resources.Load and then fed it a line from his book of string constants

[hushed hamlet]

Im not sure on their process, but yeah having a common caller is wise. The one thing I do recommend is running it through a translation as well. So it swaps text and audio clips on the fly from a dictionary, and defaults to English if it doesnt find it.

[forest otter]

Yeah, they did that. They used I2Localization

I don't think they did audio dubs for other languages, just did subtitle dubs

playing over the english audio

[hushed hamlet]

One difference is ours loads from a google doc, which is just handy. As we have projects with 8/9 languages. But that could be done with a CSV super easy

[junior path]

Man, I love 95% flash sales.

I can't wait until the $2 sitewide sale starts again, I probably would go bankrupt just paying almost everything I can lol

[exotic relic]

agreed. but then stuff will randomly go to 50% and its a massive price difference.. rip someone who bought it a couple minutes too late

[rancid lake]

Guys my favorite thing to do in unity

Is to create my entire UI system

then notice the game is running

and lose all of it after instinctively hitting stop

[sudden ruin]

<@&502884371011731486> can i dm one of you regarding a discord scam?

[potent geyser]

You can use the modmail and send a screenshot and user ID and we'll ban.

[sudden ruin]

they arent a memebr of this server, but this is the only server that i am joined to

[potent geyser]

If they're not in this server, then there's nothing for us to do about it.

If you mean just to inform of a general scam, we're aware of most of them. But feel free to share via modmail.

[celest oar]

Will there be any new features regarding terrain modeling in the new versions of Unity?

[exotic relic]

not in 6.3, its primarily a performance update

[drifting berry]

Im making my first game ever in unity and i need a pixel art floor plan ideally 16 32 bit any good links for a free itch . Io or similar?

[normal stag]

pretty sure in itch io you can choose pixels and if it's going to be top down

it's easy to search from there

[exotic relic]

if you mean 2D go to unity asset store and search "platformer" or "platform"

[drifting berry]

Oh fr???

Thx guys

[normal stag]

this also

[drifting berry]

I wont lie

I think i know more powershell then c#😭 😭

[tall hearth]

Just report the account as spam to discord

[drifting berry]

I keep trying to declare stuff with $💔

[normal stag]

my first language was lua, python, and now c#

[normal stag]

you really think DISCORD is gonna do sum about it

[drifting berry]

I went js / html basic then powershell to learning python and c#

I really love c# and powershell

[tall hearth]

Maybe not but it also gives you the option to block them, as they said this is the only server they are in and the spammer isnt in here so the mods of this server cant even do anything so pinging them was a waste of time

[normal stag]

yea im building a new pc so i can speed up the damn compiling time for scripts

my cpu fan is getting here tomorrow

[drifting berry]

Dayum man

What are the specs?

[normal stag]

yea ik it was mainly a joke playing off of discords ass moderation

[tall hearth]

You made sure to budget for a good ssd yeah?

[drifting berry]

Too much of a wuss myself to acctually make it myself so i paid like 900 bucks for a 3050 prebuilt

[tall hearth]

So no... (oh nvm different person)

[normal stag]

i5 2500
1tb hdd
4gb ram
256gb ssd

next big upgrade is getting 12 more gb of ram

[proud lion]

Yo how do I enable the unity version controll so I can collab with people?

[normal stag]

i'm kinda broke so no big games for me

[tall hearth]

Also no then

[drifting berry]

Good budget pc id say

[tall hearth]

What how?

[normal stag]

yea im upgrading from ddr2

[drifting berry]

Maybe focus on upgrading ssd over others

[normal stag]

maybe

my hdd is actually pretty fast though

[tall hearth]

An i5 2500 is over a decade old and 4GB of ram cant do crap anymore

[normal stag]

i'm getting 12gb more before or on christmas

[tall hearth]

You are gaslighting yourself even the fastest hdd cant compare to the slowest ssd

[normal stag]

it's just to make sure that my pc works cuz it's my first build

[normal stag]

nah i just have low expectations because i know my budget ( 0 btw)

[drifting berry]

Honestly, id just buy a laptop at that rate

[normal stag]

hell no

i left from a laptop im never going back

[drifting berry]

I get what you mean lol

[normal stag]

my next big upgrades are prob gonna be a gpu after ram

750 ti or sum

[tall hearth]

Bros living in the ages of 2010 wtf

[drifting berry]

Yeah lmao

[normal stag]

2010 was peak

[tall hearth]

Stop buying such old stuff even if it is cheap it'll never be worth it (unless you live somewhere that this is considered good then alright)

[drifting berry]

Might be time to save up another little bit before you splash a few hundreds on a pc

[normal stag]

trust me it's worth it

[tall hearth]

No no its not

[normal stag]

i'm on a phenom rn from like 2006 💀

plus the i5 was like 20 bucks

[tall hearth]

And a i5 2500 from 2011 isnt any better

[drifting berry]

I basically know nothing about pc's but yeah im with magic on this one

[normal stag]

i mean i understand ur point but kinda hard to do anything if i don't have a job

[drifting berry]

See if you can get a cheap office pc that was thrown out

[normal stag]

slowly but surely getting there

[drifting berry]

Cus if the w11 bug some companies throw stuff out

Better yet get a Steal from facebook market

I dont think right nows a good place for budget pc's cus of the ram price explosion

[normal stag]

yea

1.5k for 128gb ddr5

[drifting berry]

Genuinly 😭 😭 😭

Surely somethings gotta be done soon though

[normal stag]

building pcs are easy asl especially if ur already tech knowledgeable

[normal stag]

yea more price increases 💀

[drifting berry]

I think its more of an issue with prices tbh

[normal stag]

prices were always ass but this is just horrible

[drifting berry]

Id say i could probably build one myself but yeah the prices have stopped it

[normal stag]

yea just wait 1 or 2 years

[drifting berry]

In future ill try a pc with linux or smn aswell

[normal stag]

i already built the pc it's just ny cooler doesn't work and it's at 98c 💀

[normal stag]

linux is fun

unity on linux is worse than getting all ur limbs ripped off

[drifting berry]

Ive dualbooted fedora before but i think a whole new pc with linux would be cool

Whats the differnce?

[normal stag]

compatibility mainly

but linux is good especially if you have a super low end pc it boosts performance for unity and stuff in general

[drifting berry]

Id hope theres like some wine integration maybe

[normal stag]

i just optimize my win 10 though cuz now i have only 1 gb ram usage on idle

[drifting berry]

Holy

[normal stag]

it's run through a emulator idk which though

[drifting berry]

Dawg if you brang your pc to a church id reckon itd combust atp

Whats leaving you with 1gb?

[normal stag]

wdym

[drifting berry]

Why do u only have 1gb?

[normal stag]

i optimized the pc a lot

chris titus

mem reduct

and low background proccesses

no witch spells i promise

[drifting berry]

Haha

How ram works and witchcraft same ballpark lol

[normal stag]

ram is just an ssd thats built for speed instead of space

you can use ur ssd as ram but it's super slow

[drifting berry]

I know how a computer works i promise✅

[normal stag]

mhm

[drifting berry]

At least i would hope so

[normal stag]

i'm just excited to have sse 4.2

thats the main reason for my upgrade

so i can play cs2 and warframe (and better unity compile times)

[drifting berry]

I been messing with the cs2 christmas maps

Gotta love those russian servers

[normal stag]

yea im learning map building by making my own doom maps

once i get good enough im gonna build my own models and textures for my game

[drifting berry]

I was in the powershell server and i think there was an ex map maker there lol

[potent geyser]

Can you take this to DMs, this is off topic. Thanks.

[normal stag]

😔

i gtg play with my bro anyways

nice talking with you though

[drifting berry]

Alright man

See ya

[tepid horizon]

Has anyone heard of components bugging out and becoming invisible on an object?

[woeful spear]

If I add script component to any prefab items, isn't that script (and functions I choose in inspector) supposed to work for each of its instances too?

[balmy kettle]

the ones that are showing "No Function" are likely ones you applied from a scene object, yes? And if that is the case it likely referenced other objects from the scene but assets cannot reference scene objects so those references are broken when trying to apply them to the prefab asset

[woeful spear]

Oh actually I think I misunderstood the behavior. Actually the script component is showing in instance too. I thought I need to remove that as it's already added in prefab.

But if I add any additional functions to the instance for same script component in inspector, it won't affect the prefab functions right?

[balmy kettle]

you should see this component attached to the prefab and the instances.
also yes, anything added to instances is not automatically transferred to the prefab (and then to other instances), you'd need to apply any changes to the prefab via the context menu

[woeful spear]

So it's basically like override.

Which happens with gameobjects

BTW, the additional functions I'm adding to instances need gameobjects that are only in the main scene and these can't be accessed in prefab. So it would be tedious to add them for each instance. Isn't there any workaround or better approach for it?

[balmy kettle]

best way would be to do it in code, whatever spawns the prefabs can pass the object references to the prefab and it can subscribe to the events

[knotty igloo]

Hey there! me and a friend are working on a unity project together (with him as the creator) and I cant check in my work

it just doesnt show up on his side

issue is very like that its calling my changes private but im not sure how to unprivate em

[slow dirge]

You're likely just looking at different repositories. 🤔
It's really hard to say anything without seeing more details.

[knotty igloo]

heres what I cant check in

ive tried checking in a few times and it just keeps saying "no pending changes" his side

we figured it out:D

[slow dirge]

What was the issue?

[knotty igloo]

i had an unresolved clash on importing one of his recent changes

[ocean needle]

you wrote entire script just for running the game on epic games?

You can see the new GI system at 53:38

[sly lake]

Looks quite noisy and unstable still. Hope it scales beyond this potato quality. Designing an engine for the (already unsupported) GTX 1050 today is... one hell of a decision.

[ember harness]

Hello

[ocean pumice]

Wondering, if the performance on build is the same as in editor and how it might look on a higher end gpu

[sly lake]

The performance in builds is much better than in the editor.

Though the GPU isn't affected very much

I go from 30 to 90fps in a CPU-bound scenario.

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, most of the time, I am working on VR headsets, so I can really compare builds and editor on the same system. Gonna test, how it runs on different devices and if Metal is supporting it/supported

[sly lake]

I don't think VR is really supported on Mac anymore, is it?

[ocean pumice]

Nah, standalone VR, not desktop driven 🙂

[sly lake]

Oh I forgot that Vision Pro thing existed 😅

[ocean pumice]

But I doubt, quest will run it and AVP would only allow metal to use it, as I bet, there is no equivalent on RealityKit

Haha, yes, AVP is basically kept alive by industry cases, no consumer level at all 😄

[sly lake]

Yeah, that makes sense

There should be tutorials on building interiors in Blender, which part are you struggling with in the process?

[worthy lagoon]

Hi

[formal cedar]

like I can model the house but idk how to set up an interior that the player can actually enter and exit

[formal cedar]

ok I'll try that

[vivid river]

For that probuilder is the best

[formal cedar]

yeah I found a tutorial
this will work i hope so

https://youtu.be/QhGLmAXS0C4

[formal cedar]

thankyou

[knotty igloo]

ok really quick question: is there a unity glitch where headings and feilds dont appear in the unity inspector mode that youve coded for?

[pearl oyster]

Yes. It has been fixed in latest patches.

[knotty igloo]

huh

[pearl oyster]

Option #2: you've made a mistake in the code

[vivid river]

Sometimes when it doesn't shows/reloads to show the fields or headers try to set it to debug mode

[knotty igloo]

oh hey

reopening the project and all 3 scripts on the object are now bugged out

[ocean pumice]

you are sure, there are no errors in your console?

[knotty igloo]

only error I had was that something wasnt defined but that was becuase I didnt have it assigned in inspector becuase It wasnt coming up

[ocean pumice]

So no errors now, when you open Unity? Maybe go over to #💻┃code-beginner and show your scripts

[knotty igloo]

now that ive readded it works, luckily it was the glitch ❤️

thanks guys:)))

[inland umbra]

The sample count in the video was just at 2. So one can presume the system already looks better on more powerful hardware

[knotty igloo]

yall saved me like an hour of tryung to brute force this

[ocean pumice]

Maybe think about updating the editor, if it was fixed 🙂

[knotty igloo]

yee i thought I was in latest version, guess im not

sweet

ah man, I might check out the error on code beginers becuase that didnt fix it

[ocean pumice]

close Unity, reopen, check the console, if there are any warnings or errors and also paste your code in the code channel 🙂

[storm patio]

you can reselect the object and it'll refresh the inspector to show those fields

might have to select some other object first

might not work if the inspector is locked, i don't remember

it's just a graphical bug (if you aren't getting any errors)

[ocean pumice]

Seems that he had an error in code channel, that was stopping compilation

[safe garden]

hey guys, I am trying to playtest a level with a custom stylized water material, but getting this error. Since I am a unity n00b not entirely sure how to fix. Is there a way for me to do this as I've never really coded

[mystic charm]

right, looks like the slider max for sample count is 32 or 16

[main inlet]

why does the screen turn black when i enter playmode, i can only fix it by reloading the scene

[sly lake]

It's just that every time they release a demo I'm left with the question "okay but how does this run on hardware people are actually using?" 😅

This isn't a common PC target. Performance level is somewhat close to handhelds but those are vastly more modern. So it raises questions.

[inland umbra]

We just have to trust

If it is the same technique as ea’s then it is a pretty good one so I trust it can scale

[elder jolt]

How can i add a user to my project? Like give it access and everything?

Version control

[elder jolt]

i have it added in my packages

what now?

Add user in your organization

[hollow gorge]

(Sorry if it's not the appropiate channel)
I have just updated to 6.3 and Unity is giving me this error:

pipelines.universal@d9aadd996b24\Editor\2D\Converter\Base2DMaterialUpgrader.cs(9,31): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Messaging' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Runtime.Remoting' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

It gets fixed if I change to .Net Framework, but I have always had .Net Standard, what do you recommend doing for now?

[elder jolt]

from..?

[hollow gorge]

I can delete the using System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging; safely from the package, without changing the .Net Standard tho

[vivid river]

i have an organisation

omg i will try asap, i wish no lag in my laptop

[mystic charm]

I'm wondering if its available in the latest alpha out of the box

[vivid river]

now add members, and give manager permission

[storm patio]

try resetting your library

[hollow gorge]

Already did that, I have removed the using line from the package and It has fixed the error, I have also filled a bug report

[storm patio]

i'd guess it's just not up-to-date then

[hollow gorge]

Quite strange tho

[primal osprey]

I don't know, but version 6.3 is already LTS and will have two years of dedicated support, consistent updates, a growing ecosystem of verified tools, and stable platform support.

[gusty abyss]

better question why are you tilted

[main inlet]

please dont add more problems onto my already long list

[gusty abyss]

Jesse

Why are you blue

[late rover]

I've switched to unity 6.3, and it seems like android module (which I've installed) isn't detected. Anyone had this issue? I've already recreated the library folder, but haven't reinstalled yet

I can't switch platforms to android in editor, even though I CAN select android platform from within the unity hub on this project

I'm stuck on the linux platform

[vivid river]

It says restart try that

[late rover]

I did, multiple times, even deleted library folder as I said before

besides it says restart to detect new modules, but I installed them together with the engine from the start

[rancid sentinel]

Anyone else noticing a large drop in fps when upgrading to unity 6.3?

[native glade]

Hello everyone, I just started GameDev and I bought some assets on the internet. With the packs, I got some files with the Aseprite extension and I don't know how to use them. I already searched on the internet but nothing I tried works. Can someone help me ?

[vivid cedar]

They're for the application "aseprite" which is an image editing app

[dense stirrup]

hi

[native glade]

Ohh ok 😭 Thanks, but i got some problems, my texture is blurred. I tried a lot of things but i hoped this extension can give me directly the good result, but no 😐 The creator tell that we have to put 48x48 so i tried but this give me that blurred result. (sorry i'm frech)

[native glade]

Hi !

[inland umbra]

Im not really familiar with pixel art but I think setting filtering to point should give it that crisp pixel feel

[native glade]

Ok ok i will continue ma rescherch thanks you !

[mental pulsar]

Yeah, i made a abstraction and a factory depending on the platform (epic/steam/gog/microsoft), the factory works based on scripting definition symbols and there is a automatic github action that builds the game for windows/mac on each platform

[cyan lion]

my volumetrics stopped working once i baked lightmaps

anyone have any idea on how to fix it and why did so happen

[ocean needle]

you checked that right?

[reef dome]

set PixelsPerUnit to 1 and scale the gameobject the image is on instead

[late rover]

anyone had similar issues? With existing unity 6.0 lts projects

[native glade]

Yes and I try the other option but it's blurred to.

[native glade]

I just tried but that do nothing the assets stay blurred

[native glade]

i'm on unity 6.2.14f1

[late rover]

I was responding to my own issue from earlier

idk about your issue

[native glade]

oh ok sorry 😂

[late rover]

np np

[storm patio]

you should not do this

(cc @native glade ^)

for pixelart, set:

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

[reef dome]

Oh sorry, should have clarified, as an experiment if it changes anything

[safe garden]

is there a way to find a mesh that has collision in hierachy, but not necessarily mesh renderer is on? so you can't see if its hidden in hierachy

[storm patio]

didn't you already ask this

[hollow gorge]

If you select any parent object from that collider you will see it

[storm patio]

i answered you the last time

[hollow gorge]

Simply go down your root objects in the scene until you find it

[safe garden]

I don't think so, was regarding something else 🤔 sorry if already answered

[hollow gorge]

Btw guuys, having another problem with Unity 6.3, all my shadergraphs are pink 😅

The current fix which seems strange is to simply toggle "Use as template" on and off, but yeah very strange

[tawdry void]

Hi guys, do you have any name idea for a psychologically tense, PSX style game series?

[reef dome]

a full reimport might be helpful

[hollow gorge]

Got it!

[reef dome]

or just reimport selected materials, if its just a few (rightclick -> reimport)

[hollow gorge]

Ill do all just in case, seems like a good idea

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[safe garden]

ah mb sorry!

[hollow gorge]

This helped!

Thanks for the idea of full reimport

[reef dome]

If something fixes itself because you toggle something on and off without actually changing settings it suggests that the engine simply reloading it helped, so reload/reimport usually fixes it

[gray frigate]

Unity's asset system is supposed to avoid this kind of situation

but sometimes it either:

• Is not aware of a dependency
• Is aware of a dependency, but uhhhhh forgor

[storm patio]

just in general, don't reask
check your previous post for suggestions, clarification requests, etc, and if unanswered, check how you can improve the question

[fair cove]

Most game names are based on something about the game mechanics, the world/story or characters usually, you could also look at other game names in the same genre or with similar gameplay as yours or use a name generator, hopefully that can help your brainstorming

[reef dome]

Yes Unity is supposed to do a lot of things, that certainly doesnt mean it does what it is supposed to do 😄

Currently my unity is bullying me
I change something in code, go into unity, ok no domain reload, press ctrl + r, no domain reload....
Ok so it must have finished in the background right?
Press play... Suprise domain reload!

[safe garden]

will do

[sly lake]

Probably just need to re-save the shader graphs so they recompile

[hollow gorge]

My laptop (Fedora Linux 43 / Ryzen 5 5500) compiles the exact same project about twice as quickly than my desktop (Ubuntu 24.04.3 / Ryzen 7 9700X).

Just noticed this issue, what could cause my desktop to be so slow?

[tall hearth]

Is the project installed on a hdd or slower ssd on your desktop?

[warped vector]

Should be 560/530 Mb/s (Samsung 870 EVO SSD) on my desktop

I should get a PCIE SSD yes

[tall hearth]

Thats quite slow in comparision to ssds nowadays

[warped vector]

But there's no way it's slower than my midrange laptop

[tall hearth]

Well most midrange laptops are like 2500MB/s no?

At least that what my 700 cad laptop was

[warped vector]

Maybe it's that then huh

[warped vector]

I knew it was slow but I've been postponing this for a while

[tall hearth]

Does your motherboard not have any nvme slots?

[warped vector]

Yes it does, I actually built this machine like 2 months ago

Fortunately right before the RAM disaster

But I just took the SSD from my old one

[tall hearth]

Yeah... 600 for 32GB of ddr4 is absurd

[ocean needle]

there is no option , you have to chose no filter for pixel art

Unity wanted to verify my free version ;-;

[vivid river]

it's needed to confirm your Personal License

[turbid vapor]

Unity Analytics doesn't send anything in production, even though I tested it in the Editor.
Game Performance - empty (production environment)
AdMob - barely.

People on mobile, with DNS/no internet? That project must have about 30 players.
However, you have to agree to analytics collection before the game starts.
What should I do?

The code is fine; there were events (Event Browser; testing environment).

    public static void MissionComplete(int missionId, MissionType missionType, GameMode gameMode, float timeTaken, float reward, int vehicleId)
    {
        if (!_isInitialized) return;

        CustomEvent missionCompleteEvent = new CustomEvent("mission_complete")
        {
            { "mission_Id", missionId },
            { "mission_type", (int)missionType },
            { "game_mode", (int)gameMode },
            { "time_taken", Math.Round(timeTaken, 3) },
            { "reward", reward },
            { "vehicle_Id", vehicleId }
        };
        AnalyticsService.Instance.RecordEvent(missionCompleteEvent);
        // AnalyticsService.Instance.Flush(); // dev only = arrives in a couple of minutes, drains the battery :skull:
    }

Testing is used only in the Editor level (screenshot).

Use the Services Core initialization options to initialize your Unity Gaming Services in the development environment you want the player to experience. If unspecified, Unity Gaming Services will initialize in the default “production” environment.

not the time taken to build the entire player

I haven't closely profiled this before. I wonder how important disk speed (particularly random-access read speed) is

[ocean needle]

[craggy pollen]

you broke unity

could it be that something in your code is cuasing this, when did this happen?

[ocean needle]

there is no code i was testing prodcedual chain from a totourial

[vivid river]

Any script is generating that procedural chain?

[glass cipher]

I want the Middle to automatically fill the space between the Top and Bottom sections.
But when I change the anchors or positions, the Middle section never looks the way I want.
On some devices (like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold), the Middle area becomes stretched or either too big or too small.

What I want is a responsive layout that looks good on both tablets and mobile phones, with the correct proportions.
The picture in the Middle should always look the same on every device — just scaled a bit smaller or larger, both horizontally and vertically, so the visual proportions stay consistent everywhere.

[dreamy snow]

can anyone here help me with a animation sampler in unity 6 ? i think its broken and it does not sample anything

[dark axle]

I would prefer not to use unity 6 right away. It still contains a lot of bugs& glitches.

[gusty abyss]

is unity 2022.1 good to make a psx style game on?

[pearl oyster]

Unity version doesn't really have any effect on the game style

[dreamy snow]

what ?:D its a stable version with latest security patch what do you mean not use it

[gusty abyss]

for shaders and such

[stuck flower]

The security patch was provided for all supported versions

[dreamy snow]

so u want to tell me that that thing is not working

if o swith to older version and it does not work what than ?

[stuck flower]

...what? I can't quite follow what you're saying

[dark axle]

Personally, I'm creating a psx style game rn, it's working fine with no glitches. I think unity 2022 is more stable. Personally I love it.

[tall hearth]

Right away its been out for over a year now :/

[tall hearth]

You sure you've even used unity 6

[dark axle]

Woah woah easy.

I'm only giving my opinion

[gusty abyss]

im new to unity

[tall hearth]

Nah just saying i've used unity 6 since lts came out in october and haven't experienced any bug that wasnt already commonplace in unity 2022

[gusty abyss]

im coming from unreal

[dark axle]

I think 2022 would be more friendly for you.

[tall hearth]

Doesnt answer the question though you cant give an opinion when you havent used it or you used a non lts version

[dark axle]

Could be. I feel comfortable with older versions

[dark axle]

I've never said I haven't used it.

[tall hearth]

You dodged the question -_-

[gusty abyss]

what is your opinion my friend?

[dark axle]

Because I don't want to argue with you.

And I didn't appreciate your tone.

[tall hearth]

Unity 6 has more features and if you install an LTS version you shouldn't come across many bugs that dont just require a close the project and reopen

[gusty abyss]

i have a question why when i import stuff dose it turn pink?

i have both 6 and 2022

[stiff quest]

It doesnt have material

[dark axle]

Converting assets is an easy fix.

[tall hearth]

This or the material is of a different render pipeline

[gusty abyss]

but it works in 2022

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error which usually means the chosen shader is incompatible with your chosen render pipeline

[stiff quest]

you can show screenshot or screen record so people here can see the exact reason for it

[stuck flower]

In your 2022 project you are probably using a shader pipeline that the asset was made for

And then not doing that in other versions

[stuck flower]

What render pipeline is the project using, and what shader are those using

Also for the errors, you haven't installed TextMeshPro

[gusty abyss]

ok its my render pipeline

i think i got it fixed

i will come back if any other errors happen

thanks!!!

[dreamy snow]

neyther can i to what you are saying .. to actualky ask and maybe help you instantly blame Unity 😄

[stuck flower]

...when did I blame unity?

[dreamy snow]

u just told not to use uni 6 😄

[stuck flower]

I think you have me confused for someone else

[dreamy snow]

yeah oke i did

sorry

[harsh cosmos]

I opened up Unity Hub for the first time in quite a while & noticed that several of my engine installs now have a security alert. How do I fix these? I haven't been able to find out how to fix the engines themselves by googling because everything tells me to patch the game that was built with it. But I want to actually patch the engine. Please tell me how & thanks in advance.

[stuck flower]

Update

[harsh cosmos]

How do I update them? That's what google kept saying, but with no explanation as to how.

[stuck flower]

Install a newer version

Then open the project in that version

[harsh cosmos]

I've got several versions. So do I just delete the engines with the security alerts & reinstall them?

[stuck flower]

Install the patched versions. The same version will have the same vulnerability

[harsh cosmos]

That's what others said but no explanation as to how to do that

[solar panther]

Question, does anybody knew what does ModMail does even do?

[stuck flower]

I... just said how to do that. You install the latest patch for the version you're using

then use that

[craggy pollen]

mate just read

[solar panther]

Where?

[craggy pollen]

what does it say under the botname

[harsh cosmos]

How do I find the patched version? When I go to Unity Archive it wants to open them in Unity Hub, but the Hub never opens.

[solar panther]

Uhm, ok thx ig?

[stuck flower]

Do you actually have the hub installed

[harsh cosmos]

And here I thought that I could actually get help with this issue, but I guess not.
And yes, I have the Hub installed.

[stuck flower]

So, open the hub. Go into the installs tab. Install the version you want.

It's the same way you'd install any other version.

If you have unity installed at all you already know how to update it

[harsh cosmos]

Do you see a way to patch it? I don't

[stuck flower]

It's the part you cropped out

Where you install a new version

The thing you have demonstrably done at least twice based off of this screenshot

[harsh cosmos]

Not cropped

This is all there is in Install Editor

[tall hearth]

It was cropped from the first photo.

[tall hearth]

Go to archive and download from there

[harsh cosmos]

The versions that I have that have the security alert do NOT show up here.

[stuck flower]

Correct. Because they have the security alert.

[harsh cosmos]

And when I goto Archive & I select the version I want it tells me to open in Unity Hub, but never opens. I've gone around & arond on this for hours now.

[stuck flower]

Download the newer versions of them

The ones that don't have the vulnerability

The latest versions of 6.0 and 6.1

[static pulsar]

Have you possibly blocked opening links in applications? Maybe try a different browser

[storm patio]

@harsh cosmos fyi, security alerts are tied to specific versions, not your specific install. you can't fix the security alert on that version, you just get a new version that doesn't have the security alert

[static pulsar]

Otherwise, it's possible to download editors directly through the website and add them to the hub afterwards

[harsh cosmos]

That's why I asked you earlier if I should uninstall them & reinstall them

[storm patio]

you don't need to use the archive really

ah wait

didn't realize 6.0 is out of active LTS...

[stuck flower]

And I told you not to because "reinstall them" would mean reinstalling the versions that have the exploit

[balmy kettle]

is it? i thought it still had one more year left of being LTS

[storm patio]

🤷 it isn't in the hub's install window anymore

granted, 2021 isn't either

[static pulsar]

It's honestly weird that they're still showing the 2022 LTS in the Hub and 6 is gone haha. Yes, 6 still has a year of LTS support

[storm patio]

also i'm probably analogizing terms that don't make sense in unity 😅
(node.js has separate "active" and "maintenance" lts)

[balmy kettle]

I think it's really just a matter of them only showing one LTS and one Supported version for the unity 6 group in the hub. 6.0 is still LTS, but 6.3 is the latest LTS so they're showing that. they really should update the hub to show all current LTS and Supported releases there tbh

[storm patio]

didn't they use to do that

when 6.1 was out, 6.0, 2022, and 2021 were grouped together, weren't they?

(also, is 2021 out of lts now?)

[balmy kettle]

even 2022 is out of LTS

[storm patio]

isn't 2022 still in enterprise LTS

[balmy kettle]

yeah but does that really count though because the hub probably won't show those enterprise only versions

[storm patio]

holy shit 2022 got a backport fixing the serialized fields not showing up

[balmy kettle]

but yeah 2021 is out of enterprise lts now afaik, it's last update was october

[storm patio]

yeah, i shouldve been clearer - im including enterprise LTS (in this question specifically)

huh, why wasn't that blocked

does anyone know how to fix an image/material looking so low quality? i have point (no filter)

[vivid cedar]

1. Is this game view or scene view?
2. If game view, is your game view scale at 1x?
3. Does the image have compression?

[sudden ruin]

set the filter to bilinear and set compression to none

[unkempt oasis]

1. Scene view 2. i am not in game view, im gonna try looking into it soon. 3. yes it does.

[celest oar]

why

[storm patio]

why what

[light delta]

i got these errors, how do i fix them?

[vivid cedar]

In scene view it's not gonna look great especially if it's at some random angle and zoom level and if the original image isn't super high quality to begin with

[vivid cedar]

Update all your package versions and delete your Library folder

is this just a unity issue or should i worry about it?

Probably just unity.
If you're not using pro builder, remove it. If you do, check if there are updates available.

[polar basalt]

Ah btw i didnt mention the 28 other warnings are the same error but for other packages like internal packages and tmp and so on, def just a unity bug

I upgraded unity to get away from a bug to go to another bug, yay

Il2cpp builds fail from time to time randomly, if i dont make any change, and press build again it finishes

[spiral steppe]

Yay :)
Finally figured out how to make really nice environment and materials with default renderer. No URP or HDRP at all!

What do you guys think? Perhaps anything could be improved

[slow dirge]

That ambient occlusion feels like darkness is seeping from your tank.

It would probably look horrible in an environment with more props.

[spiral steppe]

K lemme adjust that

Is that better?

[slow dirge]

I'd recommend getting an actual realistic environment that you plan to use in your game and tweak the visuals there.
You might be missing a lot of stuff when judging an isolated asset.

[fair cove]

If you have a specific idea you want to turn into a game, I would suggest going through the Unity Learn pathways and game design channels on YouTube, make a GDD (Game Design Document) or something similar to one that detail exactly how your game works from technical to gameplay, then you can figure out exactly how many people you need for your idea and what skills you need them to have - you can either practice those skills yourself or use free assets on the Asset Store to build a prototype, or you can try to pitch that idea to others and hope someone has the free time and interest in your project to stick around for the whole development (even if you find who your looking for, this introduces other skills that determine if such a project will get completed) - personally, I would suggest the former though as imo, learning is more fun when you have the time and can do it for free

why is my camera blank

[silent mica]

Can't really tell where the camera is in 3D space from a single image. Are you sure it's not somewhere far in the distance?

[vapid ore]

I'm pinning the camera here, but it seems like there's some error that's preventing it from loading the data.

[silent mica]

Those position values seem a bit extreme for the scene, but I don't know how the scene is set up

Could copy position of the car or some other object in the scene to make sure your camera is not somewhere unexpected

Camera in the scene and the scene view camera exist in the same world, so it shouldn't have issues loading data to render unless the camera is specifically configured from defaults to not render something

yes

[silent mica]

Unity version control?

[tawny geyser]

yes

i have tried many things

[silent mica]

Not too familiar with Unity's version control solution, but did the project appear to your friend as something they can open in Unity Hub?

it appeared in the unity hub under repository but the assets wont load for him

[silent mica]

Unity can sometimes default to opening an empty scene

[tawny geyser]

ill try

[spiral steppe]

Does one of your models still have a camera on it

@silent mica Github could be an option for @tawny geyser

I've used that plenty

[silent mica]

I prefer Git, but Unity's solution should also work here

[balmy kettle]

for some reason that UI Scaling category is only on Windows

[torn ravine]

So then how do I increase editor font size on macos?

[balmy kettle]

probably something you can do within the OS, but whatever it is it's not something that's technically supported 🤷‍♂️

[torn ravine]

thats actually crazy lol

I feel this does not bode well for the unity macos experience lmao

[silent mica]

Presumably other software is handling text fine for you? I imagine Unity is relying on some part of the UI framework/OS to handle this

[torn ravine]

Yeah maybe. Idk I've never used an application that made me mess with OS settings to change text size. Whatever it is they're doing its certainly not common practice

[silent mica]

I would expect a bit more considering Unity's Apple roots, but I suppose that doesn't determine much at this point 😄

Hey there! ive tried coding this in two seperate ways so i think its a unity thing, when I try make my npc move backwards it keeps sinking into the ground, even though ive frozen the y position. is this a common thing when trying to code a flee script? tyy

[near wigeon]

If you don't show the exact setup you have , everything is just guess work

[low hill]

everyone help me

i can't fix this to end purple and white

how can i fix it

[knotty igloo]

oh yeah sorry I always forget

[knotty igloo]

I think the purple ones are somehow missing the texture but I could be wronh

can you show me the materials?

[mild radish]

either that or the wrong shader.. built-in vs urp

[knotty igloo]

but yeah whats really weird about my thing is I cant think of anything that would affect the y position of the player when it moves back

[mild radish]

select one of them and check it's shader

[mild radish]

and ur using URP i assume?

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@12.0/manual/features/rp-converter.html

you'd chose a material from whichever pipeline ur using.. or use the [material convertor](#💻┃unity-talk message)

[low hill]

choose what line

[mild radish]

Lit (or whatever one that works for you and the project)

but if u use the convertor again.. it'll fix all those materials at once

[near wigeon]

using translate / transform movement will override anything you do with the rigidbody

[low hill]

and i choose LIt

this is white now

[knotty igloo]

oooh thats good to know, what would you suggest I use instead? tyy:))

[low hill]

@mild radish

[knotty igloo]

that probably means you gotta go through and manually change em all

[mild radish]

theres no base map / texture in that material

[knotty igloo]

good catch

[near wigeon]

if you're doing enemy movement why not just use navmesh

it just works ™

[knotty igloo]

doesnt nav mesh involve a ton of weird stuff with the ground planes?

[near wigeon]

what do you mean "weird stuff"

[knotty igloo]

(its been awhile since ive used nav mesh but i remember it taking a full day to figure out 😭 )

[near wigeon]

you just put a navmesh surface on an empty gameobject, choose bake mode and bake.

then navmesh agent does the rest

[knotty igloo]

oh daymn ok

then what would I change with the code so that the npc still moves backwards?

[near wigeon]

I suggest you go through these
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMWxCpLvrcc

[knotty igloo]

ok thanks:))

[near wigeon]

its probably going in the ground cause you're using the Y positions in the direction you're giving it, there is probably a slight difference in that regard

you would need to set direction.y to the same y as the enemys

[knotty igloo]

its moving diagonally so mabe i mixed up the x/z and y

[rustic relic]

hi there I need help with scripting Im having a project and im just now working on coding and making a small game but when ever im ready to do script or code the C# Script doesn't show only create empty and when i click on that one it takes me to visual studios but it doesn't show me the pre set up if this makes sense

[harsh parcel]

Is anyone else having massive problems with Unity 6.3? As soon as Unity is open, it spams my taskbar with zombie windows that can't be closed, and there's even a strange overlay on the screen with a Unity6 icon that remains permanently visible even when I'm in other applications. This has never happened with other Unity versions.

[tall hearth]

hmm havent seen this one yet either, what happens if you open a new project?

[tender thicket]

Did you update this project from an old version?

[sage pewter]

Unity 6.3 Upgrade from 6.2 is giving URP errors

anoyone else having these issues???

[vivid river]

Does reconverting them help

[sage pewter]

nope

i also tried to remove and re-install the URP and related packages ... no luck so far

no fancy shader either by the way, just standard URP

upgrading from 6->6.1->6.2 and small increaments never gave any issue

i was hoping this would be the same

it seems to be the IJobParallelForBatch

[harsh parcel]

@tall hearth @tender thicket yeah its indeed an converted project from Unity 6.2, in a new project it seams to 🤔 have tested now in a new project and there it looks fine.

[tender thicket]

Yea converting things have always been wonk

[harsh parcel]

Looks like I'll have to transfer all the assets manually now, but it's not that much. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 🎅🏻

[undone monolith]

what does this popup mean?

my code is fine, but whenever i click yes, i get a million errors

[craggy pollen]

ususally happens if you copy paste code.

what kind of errors do you get when you press Yes

[undone monolith]

how can i avoid this? whenever i make new scenes, i reuse my previous code and make slight changes to suit the new scene

[craggy pollen]

but that has nothing to do with the line endings.

[undone monolith]

ikr

i'm confused too

i'm just gonna ignore the popup

[craggy pollen]

show the whoe script Scene05Event.cs as code

[undone monolith]

i'm never clicking that

[craggy pollen]

i think i see the error, your script is called Scene05Event but you forgot to rename the class

[undone monolith]

i did that dw

yeah whenever i ignore the popup, it is working fine

whenever i click yes, i get blasted with errors

[craggy pollen]

yeah look you need to rename your class it is called Scene04Events

[undone monolith]

i've done that. wait i'll send code

[grim hemlock]

yo
How do i add someone to my unity project

ive tried the

version control

and the other person im sharing it with

can join it

but they see nothing

no assets or anything

[storm patio]

did you push your changes yet

[grim hemlock]

i think?

How would i do that

im new btw

[brisk anvil]

is there a way to remove / hide / group existing items in these menus that are integrated to the unity editor?
I would like to remove around 70% of this stuff

[storm patio]

are you using uvc or git

[grim hemlock]

I don't know

im using

version control

and add person

[storm patio]

please use complete sentences

[grim hemlock]

okay

[storm patio]

probably uvc then, git doesn't have that concept

[grim hemlock]

alright

[storm patio]

(uvc is just unity version control, the one built into and hosted by unity)

[grim hemlock]

yes i'm using that then

[storm patio]

well, i wouldn't know how to use uvc, you can probably google tutorials on how to commit and push changes

[grim hemlock]

okay whats the other option?

[storm patio]

git?

[grim hemlock]

yes

[storm patio]

you have to figure out how to commit and push anyways

they have the same workflow, just different providers

[grim hemlock]

okay thanks

[storm patio]

though, git is industry standard, so it'll probably be easier to find tutorials.
but if you have uvc already set up, you could go with that

[grim hemlock]

okay ill go with uvc, but if that doesnt work ill go with git

[silent mica]

https://docs.unity.com/en-us/unity-version-control might help

[grim hemlock]

Thank you

[signal herald]

Hey guys, how do you debug your multiplayer steam games? I'm currently working with 2 Steam accounts on 2 computers, running the game in unity once and once just through steam. This is a rather big overhead to upload it everytime I want to test something. Is there a better way?

[hallow flicker]

Cinemachine is so ahh rn

Cant wven change sensitivity

Why are they changing it when it was working well

[silent mica]

Are you testing Steam specifics? Having an alternative path to Steam functionality speeds things up for general testing

[wise yacht]

It's a bit of a hassle. I tried making automatic runtime tests but I couldn't manage to get 2 clients running on the same unity version.

For manual testing I use ParrelSync which is free and it lets you make "clones" and open them in new unity editors and then run 2 versions at once.

If you're looking to test steam-sepcific features though, idk

[near bane]

“Hey, I’m a beginner. Can you help me with something?”

i can't see why it wouldn't work. Have you assigned animator in the inspector?

Also why do you have walkSpeed and runSpeed in your PlayerAnimation class

[signal herald]

how long did it take you to set up ParrelSync? I have never heard of it but sounds interesting

[wise yacht]

it didn't take too long tbh. I think the longest bit was (probably) it makes a new folder with a clone of the project in it (it uses some special file reference thingy so the files in the clone auto-update when you change the main project ones)

Definitely worth it, I used to have to make a build every time i wanted to test multiplayer

it runs a little slowly for me, but I have like a 8GB RAM laptop so even 1 instance of unity is too much for mine

[signal herald]

oh so I need twice the projects size on the drive for this? my project is almost 300 GB ... thatll be a bummer.
Did you look into Multiplayer Play Mode that came with Unity 6?

[silent mica]

Multiplayer Play Mode largely works the same way. I found it to be buggier than ParrelSync.
Note that neither of these solve any dependencies in your code when it comes to services.

[signal herald]

"dependencies in your code when it comes to services"

what would an example of this be?

[silent mica]

Having to auth and communicate with services you rely on

If you needed 2 accounts to test something, you would still need 2 accounts

[signal herald]

ah ok yeah Ill have to figure that one out, im running the game through steam now and use the steam lobbies for matchmaking. guess that wont be possible if i do it like that

#💻┃code-beginner also we need some more context here

[tardy python]

where is the black border on the left side of the "noteGrid" scrollview coming from and how would i get rid of it? it's slightly affecting the alignment of the grid

not sure why the noteGrid scrollview has it but the keyGrid scrollview doesn't

[storm patio]

use scene view and find the element that includes it where none of the children include it

(use the rect transform tool)

[next fable]

me and my friend are making a game and we cant see each other changes

[exotic relic]

You could send your game build to a friend who has steam and it’ll download spacewar(480) on their account.

[sweet charm]

That’s where git comes in

[torpid aspen]

Hi

[undone monolith]

Is it possible for me to make a template that i can reuse for new scenes that I create?

Or do I always have to manually copy and paste my work?

[balmy kettle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/scene-templates.html

[tardy python]

yeah i did do that but none of the objects have anything black on them

[storm patio]

well it's obviously coming from something

[stuck flower]

What form of version control are you using

[storm patio]

did you even narrow down to see which object it's from

[tardy python]

yes

[storm patio]

and did you find it

[tardy python]

nope

[storm patio]

so you're saying all of your objects don't include that region

that's.. clearly not the case

[tardy python]

no they dont include that color

[storm patio]

not sure what you mean by that

what does your scroll view look like, in scene view, when selected with the rect transform tool

[stark schooner]

it all shows as yellow idk what to do the camera has the biggest z axis

[storm patio]

is yellow the color of the background as set in your camera?

[tardy python]

okay so it's coming from the scrollview object but there's no padding or margin on it so would there be a way to get rid of that extra space on the left?

[storm patio]

the camera has the biggest z axis
what do you mean by this

[storm patio]

from the scrollview itself? not from a child?

[storm patio]

that's horrifying

it should be -10

[stark schooner]

what?

[storm patio]

positive Z is the "forwards" direction

the camera needs to have stuff in front of it to see it

[sudden coyote]

💀

[stark schooner]

i am stupid

HOW DID I NOT TRY THAT

[sudden coyote]

the thought was there

[storm patio]

it should be -10 by default when you create a new camera

or i guess when you make a new scene

[stark schooner]

ohhh ok

[tardy python]

if i change the color under the image component, it changes the color of that gap on the left

[storm patio]

gotcha

what should that region be?

the tiled background, right?

[tardy python]

yes i dont want that "frame" at all. it's also on the bottom

[storm patio]

huh, it's also on the right

is the area covered by the viewport / content objects?

[tardy python]

it is when stopped but not in play mode

[storm patio]

does that black region not show up outside of playmode?

[tardy python]

it is there outside of playmode but the noteGrid object overlaps it

in play mode the noteGrid object does not overlap it

[storm patio]

is it just noteGrid that gets moved when entering playmode, or do viewport and content also get moved 🤨

[tardy python]

looks like Content gets moved but Viewport does not

[storm patio]

alright, so noteGrid is probably just following Content, and the culprit is with Content

could you show what components it has and the transform before and after entering playmode?

[gentle shale]

Hey guys, do you know how to fix this problem? The problem is that if I create an object too low (closer to the floor), the object goes down, almost the same as the floor (closer to the wall), only it goes into the wall

I need to do what they did in Portal, so that when you shoot at the edge of a wall or floor, the object moves away from it a little, along the X-axis or Y-axis, so that it doesn't go inside or outside the boundaries of the ground

[potent geyser]

That's not an easy solve. You scenarios example is the most simple, what happens if there's three corners.

What you might do is use a sphere collider to detect the collision contact points and then construct an vector that is in the opposite direction. The magnitude of that vector might be calculated by how deep into the wall the portal is.

[modest meteor]

you want to use this
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.ComputePenetration.html

[plain dagger]

I think valve uses a different approach to clamp the potential portal placement onto the surface and then check if its valid.

hey hey, how do you approach benchmarking burst / microoptimizations?

The profiler should be able to profile code that is burst compiled as well as burst jobs. Make sure its the timeline view to see jobs though.

[light delta]

is there a reason why when i add a river to my canyon, the river is like stuttering in preview, can i change it so i still get good quality but my game preview doesnt stutter?

[storm patio]

that's not much info to go off of

[light delta]

it essentially looks like my water is running at 2-3 fps

this is the river so far, but when its rippling and moving, its like it stop starts at a low fps

[worldly cave]

have you considered that your scene/game view might be lagging? 🤔 when you expand the stats tab what does it show when its running

[lapis cosmos]

Fixed, I think

[light delta]

not sure how to open that

still tryna figure out unity settings xD

theres a lot

[sudden ruin]

the scene view doesnt update at normal fps rates, so it'll look choppy

[exotic relic]

^^^ itll look fine in the game

press play and the water will look good

[light delta]

but when i watch a video that im following, in his scene view, the rivers constantly flowing and not looking choppy 🤨

[light delta]

howd you get your unit looking like that?

[worldly cave]

this is a screenshot from google.

[worldly cave]

wait is this an issue only in the scene view?

it looks normal in game view?

[light delta]

yeah so when i click play the waters perfect, but in scene view its really choppy

and i cba always clickly play when i adjust something to see if it makes it look better or not, that'll add hrs of extra work that i believe isnt needed

[worldly cave]

"and i cba always clickly play when i adjust something to see if it makes it look better or not"

oh boy

well eventually you are going to have to be "assed" to do that

[storm patio]

that's an old version of unity

[worldly cave]

because that might be the only way to verify certain things are working properly in your game

[light delta]

yeah i get that when i get to a stage that itll do that, but this is what ive got so far

so my scene view being choppy with just a bit of terrain, layers and an incomplete river is odd to me

for example, this is the video im following and his water is flowing perfectly in scene view, unless theres some project settings for graphics i havent sorted to get it right https://youtu.be/g1e-fftV1gE?t=197

[sudden ruin]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/always-refresh-scene-view-option-only-works-if-cursor-is-moving/945547

[polar basalt]

people download "hacks" for games -> steals stuff silently like discord token, passwords, and so on -> those logins get sold to bad people -> they can activate the bot that has the login to start sending those messages at any time they need it

[worldly cave]

to be fair an easy remedy is to a. periodically check your "active devices" and b. semi periodically update your passwords.

[polar basalt]

active devices has nothing to do with this tbh (it could be if they already have a bot dormant) but like, once they steal, they do not login or anything like that, they just have that log in info, and they will just sell it

[exotic relic]

they dont even need ot login to your discord acct to send the msg

[worldly cave]

i dont think thats quite right

they almost certainly need some way to actually access* your account

Hello everyone,
I’m new to Unity game development and I have a question.

I need sound effects for my games, but I want to make sure I can download and use them legally without running into copyright issues.
Does anyone know where I can find a good bundle of royalty-free sounds?

[worldly cave]

theres a lot of "sound packs" on the asset store that are free for commercial use

[junior path]

this

[storm patio]

the discord account thing should probably be put in a thread, it's pretty off-topic

[worldly cave]

no point, its pretty much over

[exotic relic]

correct, theyve stolen a auth token which means it is automatically logged in without using the email/pass. just to send the msg, which is a bot sending it

[storm patio]

you could probably google for them, you'd just have to read the licensing details

[exotic relic]

what he just said ^ google "no copyright game sounds" or "explosion sound no copyright" and similar stuff to that, youll find plenty of sites to download sound fx.

[storm patio]

"no copyright" isn't going to be a thing with those kinds of resources

consider "public domain" or "no royalties"
