[exotic relic]

well if we want to get technical... i used that term in the search but the site results were describing it as no royalty

[vivid cedar]

No, only code stuff

[spiral steppe]

Anybody know why the water looks so grainy?

[storm patio]

so why not search "no royalties" for more relevant results

[vivid cedar]

Looks like image compression artifacts to me

[spiral steppe]

You mean my SS or a unity problem

Cuz it looks like that in unity too

[vivid cedar]

then either a texture filtering or antialiasing thing

[spiral steppe]

How do I do antialisaing

[vivid cedar]

depends on which render pipeline you're using

[spiral steppe]

URP

@vivid cedar

[vivid cedar]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/urp/anti-aliasing.html

[exotic relic]

in here, if you toggle off the post processing and set the anti-aliasing to none, does the pixelated error go away?

[spiral steppe]

No

[polar basalt]

yes, just the token itself, put it into a bot or smth and thats all

[spiral steppe]

Also anybody know what the weird glowinb pixels are on the brick?

[polar basalt]

Normal map

check the intensity

[worldly cave]

you also need to tone down that bloom man

[exotic relic]

if i saw that in my game, it would be time for bed I know the angels are coming. thats some tinkerbell dust

[spiral steppe]

Kk

[polar basalt]

"You can notice that it is daytime by this small glare effect"

[exotic relic]

its kinda pretty tbh. i mean blinding.. but.. i like it

[worldly cave]

also your water being grainy might also be caused by a high intensity normal map if your water material uses one

[plain dagger]

Crazy shiny bricks that fully reflect the light will cause bloom if bloom is not well configured

[spiral steppe]

I set the normal map a lot higher but made the material super rough instead

[exotic relic]

your water is good but in the scene there should be something to do with "GlobalVolume" which has post processing effects

[spiral steppe]

What specifically?

Also I think imma switch up the skybox

[plain dagger]

If the surface is fully reflective (0 roughness and 1 metallic) then you cannot avoid this

[exotic relic]

i assumed hes talking about the sun being too bright

[plain dagger]

if this is not the case, your bloom is too sensitive

If its just the sun in general then its still their bloom settings

[worldly cave]

also you added tonemapping but kept it in neutral

honestly ive only ever seen people use ACES

[sly lake]

Neutral messes up the display on HDR screens

[spiral steppe]

This lighting doesn't feel right for some reason. A bit too dark

[fallow coyote]

Do yall know some good Unity tutorials? I tried to explore by myself but not really helped

[spiral steppe]

Brackeys

What specifically do you need help with?

[worldly cave]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

👆

[fallow coyote]

Just basic engine guide and some scripting

then just follow unitys learning pathways

more than enough to get you started

any channel but this one really

[flint rock]

Yall i need a game engine suited for my dream game. Its supposed to be an extremely story driven game and visuals have to be good but not in the sense of AAA graphics. I need it to have fun mechsnics and it is a 3D game so uhh yessums and that. I dont like godot but maybe some of you can direct me to a different engine!

[storm patio]

most engines can achieve this

[worldly cave]

yeah "fun mechanics" is entirely dependant on what you can create lol

[storm patio]

because the content is up to you, not the engine

[worldly cave]

same goes for "good visuals"

also by the time you get to making your "dream game" you will probably be a lot more informed on what you need and what certain engines offer

[exotic relic]

Unity is likely going to be the best to learn on and is universal for creating this stuff

[flint rock]

Ok one sec ima say it again. So like i can move around the engine more freely and uhh i acruallt do NOT know

[storm patio]

that is entirely up to your skill

[exotic relic]

watch a quick youtube video on movement

[storm patio]

all engines are capable of this

[flint rock]

Thats what i mean

All engines are capable

But sticking to one is actually my problem

[storm patio]

right, no-one can solve that for you

[worldly cave]

i dont want to be rude but the way you are talking about the engines and your dream game leads me to believe you dont really have much in terms of experience yes?

because you are focusing on the wrong problem way too early on

[storm patio]

you just have to choose one and stick with it - if it's not working out, could consider switching

[flint rock]

Ive been switching engines for a year dawg

[exotic relic]

just use unity, its the easiest lol

[storm patio]

but the motivation to "stick with one" is entirely up to you

no-one can force you to stick with one

[storm patio]

which one is easiest is entirely personal and depends on preference and experience

[exotic relic]

true, then ill add into my conditions... to begin with

[storm patio]

still no

just not how these things work

[worldly cave]

have you considered that theres nothing your game has thats particularly difficult for any one game engine to handle though?

like if there was some ultra specific thing you really needed to have for your game that something like unity couldnt do then yeah there might be better choices

but nothing you said about your "dream game" sounds that specific

[flint rock]

Not really. I need tips to stick out witb an engine

[worldly cave]

are you listening to anything we just said

[flint rock]

Is my real problem

[worldly cave]

in the past 10 minutes

[flint rock]

Tbf i am tired as shit

Not realy

[worldly cave]

i think your problem is that you are completely missunderstanding how game development works on a fundmanetal level

[storm patio]

no-one can help you with that, man

that's a mental block you have to clear

pick one and stick with it

[worldly cave]

the way you talk doesnt really put a lot of confidence that even if you picked an engine that you would be initially successful in making your "dream game" no offense, especially if its something as ambitious and vague as you previously described

[flint rock]

I am like switching between five conversations like tony stark in that one scene

[storm patio]

choice of game engine is not as important as you seem to think

[flint rock]

That i do know. To stick with one my brain doesnt let me

[storm patio]

ok, then maybe don't
come back to this when you have the mental capacity to focus on this

take a break

[flint rock]

Okiky dokily

[storm patio]

rest is important

[worldly cave]

or hey if you really cant decide create your own engine

dont actually do this

[storm patio]

could shelve this entirely and come back when you can find the motivation and dedication to put time into learning an engine, any engine

[tough oar]

So I’m trying to set up my walls to snap together but they are all misaligned when snapping what’s the best way to fix this? My first thought would be to change the size of my wall in blender to fit the grid in unity better

[plain dagger]

you can customise the snap grid steps or use vertex snapping instead (with the translate gizmo active, hold V, move to the vert you want and click and drag to stap to another vert)

[fiery stone]

duplicating game scene and renaming the duplicate to Level2 literally deleted everything i had in my GameScene, how? how can i bring it back?

[vivid cedar]

Well for one... are you not using version control?

This is a simple git checkout HEAD Assets/GameScene.unity

[fiery stone]

i just started using unity few days ago and following tutorial, still think its too early to do that considering its tutorials

[vivid cedar]

for two - if you actually overwrote the file with something, no you can'[t get it back unless you have another copy somewhere or you are using version control

but the procedure you described would not have deleted anything in your scene

[fiery stone]

so im fuked, great, but how the fk does duplicating and saving deletes the gamescene?

[vivid cedar]

My gues is you made a new scene, and saved the new scene as GameScene

[vivid cedar]

it doesn't

But didn't you say you duplicated it? Level2 should have all your stuff in it

[fiery stone]

i didnt press any delete buttons on my gamescene so im wondering how this ahppened

meh

[vivid cedar]

Again my guess is you created a new scene and overwrote GameScene with the new/empty scene

It's hard to say without seeing exactly what you did

[fiery stone]

i did control + d on gamescene it then asked me to save i pressed yes and it was gone, then i restarted unity to see if its bugged and still same

[vivid cedar]

So does Level2 have your stuff or not

[fiery stone]

it doesnt

because i went again to duplicate game scene 1 and then i noticed both are empty

anyways will try to solve the problem somehow, nobody can help me here

[vivid cedar]

Well again if you overwrote it, it's gone

I highly recommmend the use of version control if you're doing anything you care about not losing

[fiery stone]

guess its too late now

[vivid cedar]

Too late for this project, not too late for your next

[tall hearth]

doesn't unity change the name to something like GameScene(1) if there's another with the same name?

[spiral steppe]

This almost reminds me of a childhood memory... simply beautiful

[tall hearth]

my guess is they copied GameScene renamed it to Level2 all without saving the scene once and then opened Level2 and never saved leading to it deleting the cache of the GameScene

[tall hearth]

ah yes my favourite biome on earth Bricked Dunes

[vivid cedar]

if you do ctrl+d on an asset it will add a number

[spiral steppe]

Give me a ground material to use

I'll do it rn

Maybe some kind of grass

[tall hearth]

same with renaming it to the same name no?

Edit: yeah it gives a warning say it cannot rename as there's an asset with the same name and file type

[spiral steppe]

@tall hearth

It sorta reminds me of that material in some jungle gyms that's like a hard plastic but also shiny/reflective

[steel sun]

Hey guys, new to unity. Just installed the hub and it's been on the installation page for 20 mins, is that normal?

[chilly blade]

Because im curious. For those who have made their own rigidbody controller. When performing jumping on stairs. Do you stop all linervelocity and only apply it to the .y or do you do like im trying to get to work right everytime and apply it to the ground.normal using Mathf2 to get a proper trajectory?

[storm patio]

depends on your specs i guess, but 20mins doesn't seem unusual

if it's been like, an hour and nothing's changed, perhaps check out below

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[storm patio]

(though iirc, if these issues are present, it'll show "Install failed" in red)

[drifting berry]

what do you guys do for version control?

ive only used Git on purely script based games nothing with unity or unreal

[vivid cedar]

git

[tall hearth]

this though i think i do it oddly, where instead of using git ignore i just git the asset folder and if i want to get that project on another device i make a new project and replace the asset folder with the git one

[balmy kettle]

but what about the other important parts of your projects? namely the Packages and Project Settings folders?

[drifting berry]

icl i did just mess up half of what i was working on and started from scratch

but it is what it is

i shouldve maybe backed up my work

[tall hearth]

uh idk let em be lost i guess i haven't made a project that's used packages so i didn't know they were stored elsewhere

and i assume since i didn't know that project settings were saved in the assets folder

[plain dagger]

Commit EVERYTHING

and use this git ignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

dont guess what you need and dont need

[fair cove]

Having a gitignore file is helpful for Unity, but the bigger art files like textures, audio, models, they can eat up a lot of your storage fast, even with LFS, so maybe my workflow is also a little odd, using another cloud service like Box to upload just the relevant big files, then replace/delete them from Box once they are imported, but it can run into the problem where things get dereferenced if you open the project before importing all the big files (kinda wish Unity would just keep the path or GUID of the assets to relink them later)

[plain dagger]

if that becomes an issue then change to something different like SVN or p4

id never think such a jank system was acceptable

[dull geyser]

I haven even used unity before

[steel sun]

yeah it looks like something in the installation failed

[tall hearth]

you see i would but i've got no clue how to install these "addons" (not sure if thats the right term) to git have tried in the past and failed so i gave up

[plain dagger]

Then you need to go over the basics of git then. Git repos support a .gitignore file that states rules for ignoring files

[balmy kettle]

you don't "install" anything, a gitignore is just a file in your repository

[plain dagger]

we use it to exclude things that should not be comitted
If things are already comitted (technically its files that are already tracked) then changing gitignore wont help

[fair cove]

P4 looks like its subscription-only, though out of curiosity, how does SVN differ from LFS/git? Does it just offer more storage for those bigger files or somehow compresses those bigger files or something?

[tall hearth]

im not sure i understand this correctly are you saying i just add a folder with the git ignore inside the folder that i commit and it'll just tell github to not commit somethings?

[balmy kettle]

i'm saying you download that file that was linked directly to the root of your project. remove the "Unity" from its name (so that the entirety of its name is .gitignore) and that's it. creating a repository at the root of your project will then JustWork™ (assuming you didn't already have a repo there with files being tracked that shouldn't be)

[tall hearth]

ah yeah alright i see now thank you

[neat spear]

guys, someone know how can i do better destructive props in my game?

[plain dagger]

SVN should handle large binary files better but I haven't looked into it for many years so don't believe me without research

[slow dirge]

P4 is server based, but you can host your own server yourself for free. Even on the same machine.
Not sure about svn, but it likely allows self hosting as well.
As for free Cloud services, github is probably the most convenient one.

[fair cove]

Ah, I see, interesting

[shadow heron]

Can you not spam the same thing? You did it once in someone's Dev log and your also doing it here as well. I'm also assuming you've probably done it on other channels as well.

[small lichen]

How do I prevent this from happening?

[stark schooner]

OHH you need to be on the play store by going through the screenings so they can find and show your not some virus

[undone monolith]

How are some people sending files without this prompt?

[stark schooner]

by being on the playstore if your on the play store as long as your apk has the proper id it wont show

try this https://developers.google.com/android/play-protect

the solution is helping me, and im not spamming, go take a look

[tall hearth]

i would consider this "spamming" as you pasted the same thing in 2 places within minutes and the first time was in someone else's Devlog

[ivory moat]

I have a question about upgrading between versions of unity - I had a project that was made in version 6000.1.13f1 (which for the life of me I can't figure out why), and I'm intending to upgrade it to 6000.3.0f1 for the LTS version.
To upgrade it, is it safe to just open the project in the new version?

[potent geyser]

Generally speaking, yes. Always back up with version control beforehand.

[shadow surge]

?Guys, can I make Unity load faster
For example, opening the project,
importing assets, and everything that
.loads while working

[ivory moat]

Thanks! I have the project stored on Github (for ease of switching between two devices) so that should be sorted.

[potent geyser]

No, you can't make it go faster, otherwise it would be going fast. Unity is working on upgrading everything to coreCLR and some other things to speed up the editor as a whole.

[ivory moat]

Is there much impact from computer specs on how fast Unity will load/run?

[potent geyser]

Sure, any software "runs better" with better specs.

[ivory moat]

Then presumably if unity is running terribly or you're desparate for more speed, your only option is to look into pc upgrades if at all possible

[lunar cloak]

installing the app by USB debugging(build and run) might let you skip this prompt but yea #📱┃mobile should be able to help you better

[vivid river]

You can use Unity Remote 5 for quick mobile testing and debug

[slow dirge]

Unity remote is only helpful for testing screen aspect ratio and ui layout and maybe input.
It streams the game from your PC, so you can't really test anything platform related, grapgics/rendering, performance, etc...

[gentle shale]

Finally, I was able to fixed it

If anything, that was the problem

[ivory moat]

Nice work, but you don't need to send the same message twice
Nvm, gone now

[gentle shale]

oops, my bad

i thought video is deleted

so I send it again

sry

[ivory moat]

What method did you use in the end to get it working?

[gentle shale]

Offset + Edge detection

[gentle shale]

offset is optional setting btw

[gentle shale]

Rays are emitted from the center of the object in 8 directions in a circle, and if ray hits an edge closer than minEdgeDistance
the object is moved away from that edge toward the interior of the surface

It's not the best solution, but I did the best I could

[fair urchin]

i dont Understand what went wrong here?

[arctic portal]

i want to make a drift car. when i reduce the stiffness of the back wheels of my car the car kinda drifts but they spins out if i add countersteer. how do i make a fun drifting car? as in what other values should i play with?

[sweet charm]

U need to specify the game object that u are calling GetComponent from, because the script is not a Mono script. Do it once somewhere and cache the component in a field. Also, ur IDE is not configured

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

np

[mighty moth]

for the old unity auto geometry, if i go to unity 2021 would that allow me to have the old geometry

since the old auto geometry fits my needs

Not sure what u mean by that

unity has older versions, if i got to the 2021 unity version, would that corupt my project

[latent oasis]

Hey im following a tutorial on how to make an fps and trying to add a gunfire sound when i click, following this vid - HOW TO MAKE AN FPS IN UNITY 6 - GAME TUTORIAL 04 HOW TO FIRE A GUN IN UNITY - can anyone see if ive done something wrong?

[vivid river]

Have you assign any AudioClip to play on that AudioSource?

[latent oasis]

I believe so, in that Gunfire object on the left i have the audio - i dragged it over to the right side in that image above. In the handgun Fire (script)you can see the audio source that i have added

[vivid river]

it must have a an sound file ie AudioClip assigned for Play(), alternatively can make a public AudioClip and assign a audiofile to it and then use playOneShot(_audioclip); method

[latent oasis]

thats strange, the tutorial Im following doesnt mention that. is it becuase im using a different version of unity?

[vivid river]

the image is from old version the component is not changed

Im saying that there must be an reference of what .mp3 you are palying

[latent oasis]

yeah right, isnt my reference - [SerializeField] AudioSource Gunfire;

[vivid river]

Thats source from where the sound will be played

[latent oasis]

right, so its telling it to look there not to play the actual audio?

[plain dagger]

Btw you can play any clip on an audio source in code

There is an overload for this

[latent oasis]

what would i write out for it to do that? all i have rn is this - using UnityEngine;

public class HandgunFire : MonoBehaviour
{

[SerializeField] AudioSource Gunfire;
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
    {
        Gunfire.Play();
    }
}

}

[vivid river]

Dont send plaintext codes 😭

[plain dagger]

If you want to keep playing the same clip then assign it in the inspector or change the clip variable in code.

If this confuses you then ignore what I said before 😄

[latent oasis]

yeah man ive never coded before, and im very new to unity would anyone be able to vc so i can share screen and maybe point me in the right direction?

[plain dagger]

Nope. Ask further code questions in the correct channels such as #💻┃code-beginner

is there a chat to get help with animations?

[potent moss]

does physics.overlapSphere() take the collider of the object it's on into accout too? or only the colliders of other objects?

[storm patio]

how would the method know what the current collider is

there is no "current collider" for physics calls unless it's passed as an argument

[sweet charm]

So by default, ‘layerMask’ includes all colliders, that also means the collider of the object u call the method from. But u can specify another layer if u want to exclude that
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.OverlapSphere.html

[storm patio]

uhh not really how layers work

by default all layers are considered, if you don't want to consider all layers you can pass a different layermask

but that is not the same as ignoring just the current collider

if the colliders you want to detect are on the same layer, layermasks won't help filtering out one of the colliders

to be clear - yes, that might be a good solution for the situation. but that's a bad explanation

[silent cargo]

hi. has anyone made an interaction system with playmaker add-on?

[spare frigate]

bro unity is taking up all 16gb of my ram then crashing

[dim goblet]

Do you have a friend among your friends who is interested in Unity mobile games in the field of game development? I have an email and password login system on my mobile device, either using the Firebase realtime database or Firebase. What I want to do is use the Google Play login system with the information in my game. However, as soon as I install the Google Play package, I start getting errors. Sometimes it doesn't recognize the packages, sometimes the problem doesn't occur at all. This time, it crashes during the build process or the email pass login system is disabled. Can someone who has developed a project on this issue contact me?

[cyan lion]

you cant do that without inheriting from monobehaviour

[vivid river]

same

[potent geyser]

When you press play?

[cyan lion]

hdrp?

[potent geyser]

What are you actually asking? You open sounding like an ad, and end with requesting 1:1 help. If you're hiring someone to work for you this isn't the server.

[dim goblet]

No, I currently have a login system with Unity, and I control it through Firebase. Unfortunately, I can't install the Google Play package in Unity. I get an error when I install it. The error message doesn't work, or I can't get the build. Can someone with knowledge on this issue help me? Google packages always fail. I couldn't install the Google Ads package in the past either. I've started using Unity Ads Legacy. Can anyone with knowledge guide me or help me?

[silent cargo]

I use playmaker for studying unity, but I have a question about programming side.
Is it important to make a small delay when you go from one state to another, even if the delay is 0.01 seconds?

[potent geyser]

I don't use playmaker, but using manual delays to solve issues is usually a sign of bad architecture.

[dim goblet]

I just want to implement this system, the email and password part is very troublesome

Guys why is this grass has holy light? Didnt done anything by the way

[potent geyser]

Try a fresh project to rule out the editor.

what does "holy light" mean? the light looks very bright so whats not as expected?

[thick maple]

No I did a fence model and nothing happened but i did a grass model and this light came out

[sweet charm]

At least don't hide the Inspector of the object in question

[noble locust]

is there a way to select multiple components at once and copy paste them to another object?

[opal rock]

hey, new to unity. How do i turn off backface culling for leaves, since in my case i'm seeing them from below, i don't see them actually.

[noble locust]

isnt that your normals being inverted

check if your normals are fine in blender

[opal rock]

i mean, yea, but no. It's a simple plane for the leaf texture. Since it's not a double sided object, i'm only seeing one side. If i were to add thickness to the leaves, it would double my vertex count

i could invert them yes, but then i wouldn't see them from above

[noble locust]

would it look weird to duplicate the object and invert it?

also since it's only visible from one side, depending on the side you're looking from duplicating the object itself shouldn't have any performance loss

since the other side isn't rendered from the player's viewpoint

[opal rock]

that's a fair point. I just thought there would be a simple option to turn it off for specific objects.

[noble locust]

i wouldnt know about it since i rely on having differing normals if there was, but i believe unity purposefully hides those normals since the engine decides they aren't being "used"

maybe a plugin exists if you search up the question regarding the normals

[opal rock]

fair enough. Does make sense. So i guess i'll have to duplicate the leaves

[noble locust]

or that

hopefully it works for your intended purpose

Hey guys, I tried to install any new unity version but it failed by unknown error (unity hub 3.15.2, C: 16,2 gb free, D: 67,5 gb free) what I can do?

[fair cove]

The only way I know of is with an editor script, or locking a second inspector window and doing it by each component

[noble locust]

that's a decent alternative i guess

thanks

[quick thorn]

Hi, I'm really new to unity and am currently attempting to at least start making a 3d PVE arena game with my friend, but we're already stuck on how to work on the same project together. I know he has access to the project and is on the project as well, but I cannot see any changes he makes (such as just adding a plain cube into the world) even after pressing the "update workspace" button. wondering if anyone could help or has a common sense solution I'm just missing?

[turbid valve]

Have he checked in the changes?
did you go to the right branch?

[quick thorn]

yeah tried all that already, just found out he was on the wrong scene lol

next 5 hours are gonna be rough😭

[neat spear]

2 times, but nobody help me, so i will stop

is there somewhere i can post my game? I want another dev to work with me on it

[honest arrow]

you can what

[forest otter]

Read the reply 🙄

It

It's okay, I just said that to challenge the people that go !collab

[honest arrow]

ohhh

ok

[storm patio]

there's a reason that command exists #📖┃code-of-conduct

[dusky forum]

You aren't challenging the people. You're challenging the server rules. They were informing the individual that collaboration posts aren't accepted on this discord server.

[storm patio]

it's even stated in the bot message

We don’t accept job or collab posts on Discord.

the posts are not allowed here

[forest otter]

Oh I thought the commands were done because people are too lazy to repost them

[storm patio]

it's a lot easier and more convincing for the server bot to tell them about the rules than to have to retype an explanation every time

because surprisingly a lot of people don't read the rules

which seems to include you?

[forest otter]

Nope, I didn't offer any collaboration myself, didn't ask for help, I just said "I can" to someone else

but I was just joking

[undone widget]

guys is their a help channel to get help with unity

[astral bough]

so, i made a unity project and its super small. it's just a little guy and you collect a coin. basic test stuff. anyway, i turned it into a folder for a web build and for some reason it's 3GB (1.2GB zipped) that is not normal, what do i do? I already tried deleting the library folder

[astral bough]

i think this is it

[undone widget]

oh ok thanks :), anyone know why when im selecting a splash screen in project settings on the sprite selector thing i cant find my photo?

[vivid river]

it might not be converted to sprite-2d UI

[undone widget]

oh okay thank you

[native flicker]

Guys, I have a problem with Netcode specifically regarding player movement synchronization between the client and host. I need help.

[undone widget]

is this right?

[vivid river]

yes

[undone widget]

okay its still not showing up is their anything else that could be wrong

[storm patio]

you should probably set it as sprite mode single, not multiple

[undone widget]

okay thank you ill try

it worked thanks so much

[storm patio]

i don't think that solved your issue tbh. you probably just had to refresh the selection window

[tall hearth]

no no it probably did, as a sprite thats set to multiple but not sliced isnt set up properly and wont show in the available sprites on this window

[storm patio]

oh yeah i didn't consider that, i saw the inspector and thought it was sliced for some reason 😅

(to be pedantic, the file is a texture2d, and sprites can be generated from that)

[astral bough]

would anybody be able to assist with this issue?

[tall hearth]

wdym turned it into a folder for a web build?

[storm patio]

what do you mean you "turned it into a folder"

[astral bough]

i put it in a folder, sorry

[near wigeon]

why would a build need library folder ?

[storm patio]

why?

[astral bough]

isnt that what you do? like the web build?

[near wigeon]

No

[storm patio]

what exactly is "it"

[astral bough]

idk i just did the same thing i always do to make a build of a game

[storm patio]

what did you put in a folder

[astral bough]

the build?

[tall hearth]

did you go to File > Build Profiles > Web or not cause if not then you did it wrong

[storm patio]

it's sounding like you put the project in a folder

[near wigeon]

It makes a folder with index.html in root you mean?

[storm patio]

so you just, selected a folder to build into?

[astral bough]

yeah i did that

[astral bough]

yeah

[near wigeon]

what compression mode did you select in player settings ?

try something like gzip

[astral bough]

i didnt know that was a thing, lemme attempt that

even still, the game should NOT take up this much space, there's nothing there so i feel like there's something else wrong

[tall hearth]

where did you build to or more specifically whats in the build / zipped folder?

[near wigeon]

Probably. We dont know until you share further info

[astral bough]

so i built it and it turned into this (ignore the other two files, they are unrelated)

[near wigeon]

did you make the build separate from your project folder

[near wigeon]

That looks like your project folder not the bundled files with web assembly

[astral bough]

oh

[storm patio]

building creates new files, it doesn't turn your project into the build

[astral bough]

ii couldnt tell the difference but in hindsight that makes a lot of sense

[near wigeon]

Yes do the build screen they showed you for Web and build to desktop or something

[storm patio]

or even a folder inside your project folder

[astral bough]

alright one sec

[storm patio]

i believe it chooses .../Builds by default? and that's ignored by the Unity .gitignore too

[astral bough]

oh i have it set to a folder called "CS255" because its for a class

and i just keep it all together

anyway i got this

i misunderstood your instructions im sorry

[storm patio]

your build should be there then

[tall hearth]

as it says make a new folder on your desktop and select that to build or place it somewhere else like your documents folder (and ideally a new folder in that) or your previously mentioned "CA255" folder)

[astral bough]

well thats also where the project folder is so maybe there's something up with that?

anyway now that i know what the issue is i can work on it, thanks fellas :3

[still aurora]

Hey! Hopefully I'm not bothering anybody. I'm working on a project and I might wanna work on it at home rather than only school since I need to do other things. This project was transferred from my school PC so it has all the assets and everything. I'm just wondering if there's a quick way to transfer the changes to the scene like if I added any assets from the ones already installed or added a script, just things like that if possible?

[tall hearth]

using any form of version control like github yeah

though it's not automatic, you'd need to commit (upload) and download the changes each time you make any

[still aurora]

Okay, I'll look into that and try that, thank you!

[balmy kettle]

<@&502884371011731486>

[polar basalt]

hey, i made a new project, and now every time i press play this pop up shows, is there any default setting that might make this pop up?

[storm patio]

that's just the normal domain reload, no?

[polar basalt]

every time u press play?

[vivid river]

Yes

[polar basalt]

that doesnt happen on my old game

i may have memory issues tbh haha

[storm patio]

it's a normal thing to occur

you can disable it, but you then have to implement stuff to handle that situation correctly

the domain reload serves to basically reset the state of everything to their initial states using serialized values

[polar basalt]

yes

[storm patio]

if you disable it, you will have to write your scripts in a way that can deal with stuff not getting reset

that includes a lot of things, like managing event subscriptions, singleton initialization, static variables persisting, etc

[vivid river]

Importing assets > compiling scripts> reloading domain > Editor.PlayMode

[storm patio]

could also be that it was fast enough to not really notice and/or remember

[polar basalt]

yeah but here it is like 5 seconds

even tho its a new project

weird

[storm patio]

could be any number of things, really

could be editor or package stuff changing, could be your hardware being different or degrading over time, could be what other stuff you have open, could be the ambient temperature of your room

[tall hearth]

honestly could be anything between having a fuller drive so read write is slower, a slower drive in general , a newer editor version just making it slower due to optimization

[polar basalt]

oof

im opening both projects right now and the old one which is 40GB takes less than a new project which has nothing inside

could prob be just library not having every baked in or smth

also its same editor version

[storm patio]

could be some different project settings, i don't remember what would affect it

[tall hearth]

it could also even be that the new one has nothing and it's trying to find stuff so it's going through things that it wouldn't need to if there were stuff

not sure why a 5 second play time load is that big of a concern though

[storm patio]

that's generally not how most stuff is designed

[storm patio]

it adds up.

[polar basalt]

hmmm, i dont really know, i will work with it a for a little then see how things go

[tall hearth]

i didn't say it doesnt but at the same time it isnt going to be the largest time loss when testing

[slim narwhal]

how would i make the cursor change design when you hover over an object with a specific component
would that have to be a separate script?

[storm patio]

when i changed devices my domain reload time went from about 2 seconds to like, 0.5
it made it a lot easier cognitively to test and iterate stuff, and to stay focused

[tall hearth]

yeah guess that's fair if you are trying to stay on track of what you are doing having these 5 second pauses can be a huge distraction

[polar basalt]

they are tbh

[tall hearth]

guess i've just gotten too used to them since my game practically forces me to reset after any sort of change

[mental pulsar]

Hi, does anyone has any idea on how to free up memory usage after unloading a scene? Unity just keeps the memory reserved forever and this is causing troubles with Microsoft's validation process (they are considering this as a memory leak, even tho it's not our fault, it happens on a empty project too, Unity just keeps the memory there forever)
I tried collecting GC, doing Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets, manually destroying objects, object pooling, using addressables and everything i can think of.

Lets say my game starts using 200MB at the main menu, then the game spawns lots of objects and it goes up to 2000MB memory usage, when i go back to the main menu it never decreases back....

Here is a example of this issue in a empty project:

[exotic relic]

Try a different editor?

[mental pulsar]

Tried 3 different versions, same issue across all of them

In everywhere i researched they said that this is done on purpose, Unity pre-allocates memory that has been used and never free's them so it's faster to reuse in the future, but i REALLY need it to go back down.
When using frameworks like MonoGame this is not a issue, i can easily change scene and get memory clean, but Unity does not provide any way of doing it as far as i can tell.

Also, this is more visible when using building as IL2CPP, when using Mono it decreases (never gets close to the original but decreases a lot more)

[exotic relic]

I dont think unity has a way to clean that, in my experience its always taken up a lot of memory/storage. Rather than addressable you could use asset bundles. Although you said its a case in a blank project...

[mental pulsar]

It's not about storage, it's about RAM memory usage

The same exact project built in Mono: (lot less memory used, still never gets back to the original usage)

[sudden ruin]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application.Unload.html this might be what you want depending on your use case. you haven't given much description on why exactly you want to do this, so i cant say for sure if this will help

[mental pulsar]

This is for closing the game, i wan't to free up the memory usage while still on game... This game has a endless mode in which the player can go up to waves with lots of spawned enemies and troops, but when returning to the Main Menu the expected output is that it would free up memory usage from the unloaded scene and get close to the original (in this example MainMenu usage is 200MB and game usage goes up to 2000MB)

[slow dirge]

Reserved memory is just that - reserved memory. Unity would reuse it when it needs. You can't reduce it. And it shouldn't cause the Microsoft validation to fail.
Now, if it keeps on growing, that means that you have a memory leak, and that will fail the validation process.

But you're not gonna solve it by just looking at the reserved memory. You need to make captures at memory peaks(where reserved memory is reused entirely) several times to see if the peak grows and what contributes to it.

[mental pulsar]

It's not a memory leak, it's a endless mode, depending on how far the player goes the more likely it is to increase the usage as there will be more enemies, that's the default computing behaviour. More objects alive = more memory used, but the memory should be released whenever those objects are not alive anymore, in this case the whole scene had been unloaded and the memory never goes back

If i do the same thing on MonoGame the memory usage will go back to the starting 200MB in this example, so it's not a C# issue

[slow dirge]

It is released. Or rather unused. That's how most game engines do it. Allocating memory from the system is expensive, so you keep it tracked in the app side allocator, because you'll likely need to use it again anyway.

On a game console this shouldn't be an issue. Many games/engines just reserve ALL available memory at the very start and that does not fail any validations.

[storm patio]

if you go through the same sequence again, does the memory usage increase?

• if yes, that's a memory leak
• if no, then that's just the allocated memory being reused

[slow dirge]

Mono might be different as it's tapping into the dotnet ecosystem. I can't say anything about it.

[slow dirge]

And if an infinite increase in memory usage is "by design", then of course it would fail validations.
Its like saying well my app crashes due to OOM, but that's by design.

You need to have some limiters. Then test and confirm you actually have a max memory usage peak conforming to the target platform requirements and that you never go above it.

[mental pulsar]

No, it stays the same

[storm patio]

then that's just the allocated memory being reused

the memory is freed to the runtime, but not the OS

[tawny prawn]

When writing .shader code in Visual Studio or VS Code (with Unity ext. installed), I get no proper code completion even for things like semantics (e.g. SV_TARGET), no info on hover, no nothing. Is it supposed to be like this or do I need to do a bit of configuration or install an extension (already tried a couple for vscode)?

[storm patio]

<@&502884371011731486>
1442484994457997454 scam

[storm patio]

i don't do shaders so might be off, but iirc it's HLSL and it needs separate extensions to support that

[tawny prawn]

It's not purely HLSL; the .shader files you write (and get templated when creating it via the menu in the editor), called ShaderLab that wrap the HLSL along with some other things like property declarations and some configuration.

Writing this made me realise that I should probably try HLSL specific extensions or any IDE-like things as the .shader file can #include them

[sage basin]

?ban 1442484994457997454 bot spam

[novel scarab]

tenacious_pony_60649 was banned.

[slow dirge]

Shader lab and hlsl are 2 separate things. You can get intellisense/autocompletion for each of them separately but not both at the same time sadly.

Unless you want to develop and extension that does it.

If you just need hlsl intellisense, a properly configured hlsl tools extension in vs code works great.

[tawny prawn]

If you have personal recommendations for a specific one for vscode, I'm keen to try. Even a snippet of your configuration if you want to share.

[slow dirge]

You can create a config file for the extension manually, or use this unity plugin to do it for you:
https://github.com/hecomi/HLSLToolsForVisualStudioConfigGenerator

You basically need to remap the includes search path to that in your library folder.

[tawny prawn]

thanks heaps

[slow dirge]

Just in case it's not clear. The extension name is "hlsl tools".

[proper seal]

Im using the starterassets and my game has a yellow sky

I think I might be dumb

[slow dirge]

Does that imply that the issue is solved?

[proper seal]

nah

but I feel like it has a simple fix

[slow dirge]

Then please don't add comments that can confuse like that.

[slow dirge]

Check the camera clear flags. Are they set to solid color?

[proper seal]

my bad

[proper seal]

its set to skybox

it took me a bit to find

[slow dirge]

Okay. Can you show the skybox settings in the lighting tab?

[proper seal]

yea

[slow dirge]

OK, and the day3 material?

Also, you're not using a 2d template or renderer, do you?

[proper seal]

no

its universal 3d template

[slow dirge]

OK, I'd assume that it's something with the sky shader.
Does the default sky(box) shader work?

[proper seal]

nah the same thing happened with that one too

[slow dirge]

OK, then the next thing to do is check the frame debugger.

Find the draw call where the yellow color is drawn and inspect it in details(share a screenshot too).

[proper seal]

like this?

[slow dirge]

Hmm... So it's the clear color..?
That would imply that no skybox is rendered at all. At least not in this camera. Why do you have several cameras?

[sonic ferry]

is something in unity down? Got a similar error when trying to upload a build to the meta quest dev hub a few days ago, and that was the case. Also, where would I go to confirm for myself instead of asking here, like an outage channel ?

[proper seal]

im using a cinemachine prefab

from a starterassets asset

[slow dirge]

Can you check the other top level items(cameras) in the frame debugger hierarchy? Do any of them render the skybox?

[slow dirge]

Seems to be 3 cameras here.

Do all of them have background type set to skybox?

[proper seal]

that fixed it! one was set to uninitialized

thanks for the help

i appreciate it

[slow dirge]

What "similar error"?

[sonic ferry]

A network error occurred (exception). The request will be retried.
{"cliErrorType":"NETWORK_ERROR","cliErrorMessage":"connect EACCES 
A network error occurred (exception). The request will be retried.
{"cliErrorType":"NETWORK_ERROR","cliErrorMessage":"connect EACCES 

its on the meta quest dev hub upload log thing

it just keeps looping this over and over, and the only other time ive encountered this issue was a few days ago when I was trying to test a build, turns out after asking here, someone responded with unity being down. Just wondering if Unity has some outage channel somewhere on their website or here or wherever so I can confirm this. Last time I spent like 45 minutes trying to figure out the upload issue but turned out it was on unity's end

it shows some temp log file path and ip address

[slow dirge]

Upload where? From where? If it's just uploading to a device I really doubt it has anything to do with unity services.

Does it not sya what kind of request that is?

[sonic ferry]

nope, it just repeats that above ^ with the path and ip address I mentioend over and over

[slow dirge]

What path?

[mellow dagger]

Long time ago I saw an asset something about organizing easier inside Unity does anyone know the name for something similar? I think you could color folders

[slow dirge]

You can Google "unity services status", but everything seems to be up right now.

[slow dirge]

And what do the logs say?

[sonic ferry]

big chunk of gibberish, clicked a link tho, says error code 190 and an invalid token. Again, this same error popped up last time and apparently unity was down at the same time, so i figured there was some correlation there but with this it looks like some sort of account authentification error. Still looking into it

thanks for the outage link though

[slow dirge]

Yeah, this is likely unrelated to unity. Might want to figure out what that request is for and whether you handle credentials correctly.

Hello I'm looking for help with proc gen on 3d objects. I watched a few videos and while they discuss the high level stuff, I'm not sure how to implement them as code. Mainly how to use code to place assets into the world. I'm looking to create a proc gen dungeon and as I'm just starting out, I am fine with just getting to use any algorithm to place even the basic plane and wall to create something to look at. Any tutorial or resources would be appreciated, thank you.

On the learn platform, if you are totally new to Unity, just start from the beginners course and go through there. It will cover the basics on how to handle things in Unity

[frail vapor]

Hello I am new to unity...
I mean I just started about it...

I saw a video on youtube a guy was showing sample of tps ( Third person scene ) but I downloaded unity 6.3
How I start...?

Tysm brother I will learn that but in unity 6.3 there is no tps sample available so which sample I use to build third person open world

[ocean pumice]

You dont, thats the solution. You dont even know a thing about Unity itself yet, right? So you gotta learn the basics before you talk about a full game, especially with open world. Learn to do a simple game, fail at it, try again. Learn to research and read documentation, to help yourself and get good at problem solving by learning this. If you run into a way to complex game for a beginner, you will get frustrated quite easily and eventually stop making a game at all. So, go through the learn beginner tutorials and proceed from there. Imagine trying to become a race driver but dont know how to drive. You wont learn it faster driving a F1 car but most likely crash into a wall 😉

[frail vapor]

Now I got the way first I will learn to design small 2d easy games then after understanding problem solving I will try 3d

Thankyou so much 💓

[ocean pumice]

you are very welcome and have fun making your own first little game in Unity. You will have fun testing around and getting new ideas while on the go 🙂

[frail vapor]

Yes yes this one I was looking
Ty

But I will now try easy games first

[river steeple]

help, I'm making a game that has heavy use of the UI naviation since it uses game controller, I figured most of it out but now I'm running into a problem where:

UI navigation will randomly not work anymore for the whole project but will work fine in builds and also when I reopen the project.
Wasnt a big deal but now its happening constantly, making it really inconvinient to test the game as I develop it

[ocean pumice]

So it is only happening in editor? Could it be, that you dont focus the UI and therefore it does not recognize the UI events but the rest is based on inputsystem and works with or without focus of gameview?

[river steeple]

oh I havent tried focusing the game window, now it works even after unfocusing it and hitting play again, I'll assume that fixes it, thx!

[ocean pumice]

You can set Play Focused in your Gameview to automatically focus that view when entering playmode, so that might fix it also for the future

[river steeple]

i prefer keeping it windowed since I often check other windows as I check for stuff while testing, but I'll just remember to focus when it happens again

[ocean pumice]

I guess you mean not using "Maximized" here, right? Focus is just, it will focus your gameview for inputs when playing. Its not maximizing it or whatever. Just to clarify we are talking about the same thing 😄

[river steeple]

oh!

[ocean pumice]

Not sure if you are on windows and if there is a difference, thats just macOS for me

Nah, should be the same 😄 https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/GameView.html

[river steeple]

where does those options show up?

[ocean pumice]

in the game window top bar

[river steeple]

ic ic, mine is already set to play focused, but I was talking about maximized this whole time

maximizing fixed the issue (i think)

[ocean pumice]

At least it will force that window to be the active one, as there is no other active besides. But anyways, if the issue persists (maybe a bug) you know how to handle it now 🙂

3d box collider has a center property and 2d box collider has offset

[plucky bobcat]

quick question - how does Unity Tilemapping differ from using individual GameObjects?

[plain dagger]

tilemap offers additional features such as tile map layer composite colliders, tile painting tools and automatic layout

[plucky bobcat]

is it less memory intensive?

rn I'm using GameObjects as a temporary solution for tiles

because I can store them in arrays since I have a struct for Tiles

(i need data on them)

[plain dagger]

tilemap also uses gameobjects for each tile so there is no difference

[plucky bobcat]

for real?

[plain dagger]

entities would be the most optimal solution but still not great combining it with gameobjects

[plucky bobcat]

entities?

[plain dagger]

Anyway tile data can be separate from the visual tile so you can keep it separate

[plucky bobcat]

how can it be separate?

[plain dagger]

easy

[plucky bobcat]

(also, why entities? I thought placing tiles by themselves was the only solution)

[plain dagger]

keep your Tile data array and then have an additional array for the "tile view"

[plain dagger]

ECS entities yields the best performance for many objects but is an alternate workflow to gameobjects + monobehaviours

[plucky bobcat]

I can show you the code I have so far; I'm using an array and having each element in the array be an individual value, then rendering them accordingly

[plain dagger]

I imagined something more like TileData[,]

[plucky bobcat]

actually wait

I think I already did what you suggested

[plain dagger]

as you said struct

[plucky bobcat]

public GameObject[] worldChunks;
public TileData[][] worldTiles;
public TileData[] rowTiles;

since this is what I have

[plucky bobcat]

yeah, it's something like that

[plain dagger]

You should use multi dimensional arrays [,] instead of an array of arrays

or [] and calculate the index from the vec2int

[plucky bobcat]

what's the difference anyways?

I'm using array[x][y]

instead of [,]

[plain dagger]

read more here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/arrays#multidimensional-arrays

[plucky bobcat]

(also I thought they were the same)

[plucky bobcat]

alternate workflow?

[plucky bobcat]

isn't this just what I'm doing?

as in, 2D arrays

I just didn't go with the [,]

let me try and find my script

[plain dagger]

An array of arrays is not as efficient as one big array/ 2d array

[plucky bobcat]

for (int x = 0; x < worldSize; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < worldSize; y++)
            {
                TileData t = worldTiles[x][y];
...

[plain dagger]

anyway read the page

[reef dome]

How good is unity's version control?

I've only been using git but it has obvious downsides with large game assets and now that problems have become to big to ignore I am looking at alternatives

[latent meadow]

are people getting this on windows too? on linux, 6.3 no matter how many times i click accept, this will pop up again on next launch of a 6.3 project

[ocean pumice]

imho, it might be easier with unity specific parts, but I still use git and vscode merge editor for scripts rather than let unity devops decide, what to merge. But I have been using both and there were not really many differences in the usage. Probably the branch view of devops is quite handy, but thats just compared to github cli or default desktop app. Id say, what you prefer and what you feel more comfortable with. Are you referring to having to use Git LFS for bigger assets > 100MB ?

[latent meadow]

this appears to be a licensing client mismatch issue. i suppose i simply have to wait for unity to realize windows lost and start putting linux first.

[ocean pumice]

You might logout and login in Hub to see, if that helps.

[final canopy]

is it me or people are always finding games where everything is super dark with some light to be more attractive?

[latent meadow]

not a bad idea, but no change

[ocean pumice]

High contrast can up the immersion sometimes. Its just dramatic lighting that has been working well everywhere in media, movies and what not. Just imagine using a flashlight while shooting a photo vs. well lid images. Flashlight images always look flat and boring. Thats why there are principles like 3 light setups, to lighten up objects perfectly. But it really depends on the genre you gonna target. I cant think of super mario brothers being super dark all the time and being appealing to the target group 😉

[ocean pumice]

Another idea would be to run hub and editor as admin and see, if that changes the behaviour.

[balmy palm]

I'm coding my own unity camera zoom system with the mouse wheel but i keep getting this popup everytime i stop running the game and it's pretty annoying.

[latent meadow]

that is most likely a bad idea. playing with permission like that on Linux is not generally useful or a good idea

i already own the folders and files it needs to change anyways

[vivid river]

sudo will either fix or brick the entire system

[ocean pumice]

Its Unity you are running, not a custom downloaded software from an unknown source. Just run as admin for the time of agreeing to the terms. After that, run is default user again

[latent meadow]

you are not a linux user i take it

[storm patio]

i don't think admin in windows and superuser in *nix are exactly the same thing

[ocean pumice]

wait, did I misunderstand you there? I thought, you are having the issue on windows. Sorry, if I got that wrong

[ocean pumice]

this says clearly "are people getting this on windows too?" ...

[storm patio]

yes, because hunanbean isn't getting it on windows
the following sentence also clearly says "on linux"

[ocean pumice]

guess that confused me 😄

[latent meadow]

all good

[ocean pumice]

In that case, forget the admin workaround 😄 It was just a specific windows suggestion. Last suggestion I got is to check, if Hub has a newer version. as the "protocol unsupported" error might just being the Hub using an older version?

[latent meadow]

as far as what they are offering for Linux, it is updated. good thought though

[storm patio]

also iirc you aren't supposed to run the hub as admin on windows either

[latent meadow]

^ in general, yep. not a good idea

[ocean pumice]

i agree, that was just for the confirmation to probably work, if the windows platform was the case.

[ocean pumice]

Did you try to revoke your license and receive again?

[latent meadow]

the license itself is fine, it is the connection to the versioning check that is being blocked. my money says that Unity simply needs to update their check, then it will work. it is really just a number mismatch on their end, not an actual technical limitation

also, on Linux, once the license is in place, you don't really want to mess with it 😅 things can get messy with KeyRing

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, just thought the same. I guess nothing locally you could do right now, as you just send an "outdated" version. I guess they just forgot to update the Hub on Linux yet 😄

[safe garden]

a quick q - we are currently trying out a water shader that creates a foam appearance on any mesh that embeds itself in the water mesh. The problem is very thin meshes like flora and plants will also get this and you'll get a weird white effect where they intersect. Is there a way to stop flora meshes like this receiving any contribution from the water material?

[ocean pumice]

Did you write the shader yourself, so you know, whats going on?

[safe garden]

no its a downloaded water shader

from the unity store

[ocean pumice]

Then maybe there are docs about it that tell, if the shader supports something like a layer/tag exclusion etc.

[reef dome]

If you tell us which assets you are using I could maybe take a quick look

we have this active on a 120k member server and rarely have one go through

and not a single false positive yet

[storm patio]

thereve been instances of the same images being posted directly rather than as links so it's not gonna be foolproof 😔

[reef dome]

yeah those sadly go through, but 99% are image links instead of direct images

[vivid river]

Btw are these for real scams or just annoying spams, because these are many, every now and then i get messages from compromised acocunt these and the mr beast scams? aren't these so common that some will eventually get phished into it?

[storm patio]

eh, what's the difference

[reef dome]

And our server gets bombarded a lot 😄

[storm patio]

though, this specific one probably isn't phishing

[reef dome]

yeah that one is just send your bitcoin to double

but gets posted from accounts that get compromised through other scams

[storm patio]

ohhh that's what it is

that's such a dumb premise lmao

[vivid river]

i didn't even read it before it got removed w moderation

[storm patio]

nigerian prince vibes

[exotic relic]

Be careful tho because you can get your discord token stolen just by clicking on a image (data hidden in it)

[vivid river]

middle click directly opens the url💀

[storm patio]

for images?

[reef dome]

not if you click the preview on discord, no, thats a much-believed rumour

[storm patio]

most image formats don't support arbitrary code

you might be thinking of pdfs?

[reef dome]

Its one of those "street legends" that goes around discord

there was once a bug where people hid injected script behind image links, that actually worked but was patched faster than you could blink 😄

[storm patio]

just renaming a file to .png?

and then discord served the mimetype according to the file signature?

[reef dome]

no it wasnt renaming stuff, it was manipulated message content

[exotic relic]

Well I didn’t get mine stolen from a image on discord, just saying be careful. Mine was stolen from opening a spam email, clicked on a image and next day a bot sent those messages with my acct

[reef dome]

no way your token got grabbed without downloading something or entering your data

if you could token grab stuff from browser or even other apps just by clicking images in emails we would be in a LOT of trouble

[storm patio]

it couldve just been the email itself

[exotic relic]

It did steal my browser stuff yea

[reef dome]

No chance, that would be something the security community calls level 10 vulnurability 😄
And you would hear about it on every tech news outlet out there

[exotic relic]

Took a deep research on the virus that did it and it’s very much capable

Just by opening the email…

[vivid river]

There was a whatsapp vulnerability, in which whatsapp ran python & php files without asking

[reef dome]

I can guarantee you that is not possible, I'd bet my bank account on that

[storm patio]

something like [https://media.discord.com/snowflake/image.png](javascript:...)? im confused

[reef dome]

yeah something along that, idk how it worked internally

[storm patio]

html emails can run arbitrary code, no?

[storm patio]

ah well that seems pretty straightforward as to how it works then

[reef dome]

what? no, unless you run shitty email provider 9000

[storm patio]

the masked link generates an anchor element, and with a javascript scheme that runs arbitrary code

[reef dome]

There was a short bug in the TLS encryption in emails that had a code injection issue but that was also fixed faster than you could blink

Fun fact: the university I went to found that vuln and reported it earning the prof behind it some prices

Just in general:

If it was as easy as sending an image via email to token grab somebody, people would be doing that with bank accounts / email accounts that can be used far more destructive than discord accounts and in no time the internet would be burning, even if it required you to click on said image

[exotic relic]

Well i did click in the email. That was a lot to clean up. took money instantly from fiverr, amazon, paypal etc

Im just saying... dont click on stuff... it happened to me and is that easy to get your stuff stolen...

[safe garden]

ah I see - one sec its a bespoke asset from the team

[safe garden]

I'll come back to you about the material, thanks for asking! for now I had one other q - is it possible to add a low poly collision mesh for all of these (not including the trampoline_collision mesh)

I figured there's a way to add one for the object as a whole, rather than one mesh collider each

[sudden ruin]

sounds like you want a convex mesh collider? mesh colliders work by reading the data from the referenced model in the mesh filter component. if your model is split up into lots of smaller pieces, you'll have to add a mesh collider to each of them

(or since you said you wanted a low poly collider, you could just add a box collider or something to the root parent)

[short grove]

CaUsin an older version of unity here
Is 6000.0.53f1 is this fixabble cause alot of the results im getting are just saying to find another version

[safe garden]

yep I did originally just make a really low poly mesh but I wanted it to encompass all of the elements of the group as opposed to be applied to only one element- I'll mess with it though thanks

[reef dome]

Some list of questions:
Did you upgrade unity version?
Did you try upgrading the VR package?
Are you out of storage space?

[sudden ruin]

im not sure what you mean by element in this context

[safe garden]

the separate meshes that make up the whole group

[short grove]

have to use this version cause of an assignment?
im using XR recommendeds
no

[sudden ruin]

ah, the children. yeah you'll need to apply a collider to each part of the object that has a mesh filter

[reef dome]

In that case if you can (as you have the blender tag) I would create a low poly mesh in blender that is a composite of all meshes you got there
Otherwise you will have a headache with it and the physics simulation performance will also not like you

[short grove]

wait interaction toolkit didnt have a recommended version hold on

[sudden ruin]

i thought about recommending this but it's just more work than giving each object it's own collider

[short grove]

nvm it just wasnt showing up not sure why recommended is 0.2 older than latest

[safe garden]

yep that's what I was trying, but the only thing is that when applied as a mesh collider to the group in unity, it still allows me to pass through it, the collision doesn't seem to be working

I didn't want to apply the collider to every child in the group as that seems like it would be expensive

I guess I could just join them up so its one mesh and then apply the collider, I just wanted to see if there was efficient way to do it if they were split

[sudden ruin]

show the inspector of what you tried

[safe garden]

(trampoline collision is the block mesh you saw)

[reef dome]

try making it convex

[sudden ruin]

also try giving it a mesh filter

[reef dome]

mesh filter shouldnt help there

[safe garden]

nope still happening, hmmm

I'm applying it to the parent though, that should work right?

[reef dome]

did you change the collision matrix in your project?

[safe garden]

nope 🤔

[reef dome]

and show us the object it should collide with 😄

[sudden ruin]

parent or not, it should work no matter what

[safe garden]

collision mesh on the right, it covers the trampoline mesh completely

[reef dome]

No i mean the thing that should collide with it ingame 😄 and would be good to see the inspector of that

[worldly aspen]

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

I've been getting this strange warning upon starting up my project, does anyone know what it means? it doesn't seem to be doing anything evil but it does make me a bit nervous

[vivid cedar]

did you try doing what it says?

[stuck flower]

There's an extra component that goes on URP cameras to work properly with the render pipeline. You can just add it to your camera, it doesn't have any settings to change.

It just needs to exist

[silent bloom]

guys how do I FULLY reset it so my lighting looks like a project that just been made because I ruined the lighting I made like a minute ago

[craggy pollen]

clear the baked map

[silent bloom]

question where do I clear it

[astral bough]

that seems to already be on it

[stuck flower]

Then you've probably got another camera that doesn't

Try searching t:Camera in the hierarchy

[astral bough]

i think im getting this warning from a scene that was improperly deleted. i cant access the scene but it still seems to exist somewhere
because there is no other camera in this scene, there are like 8 objects total

Hello guys

[worldly cave]

can you clarify what you mean by building?

if you mean level design then yeah absouletely there's always a dedicated level designer in larger projects

[cyan geode]

Yes i want to like design projects

Houses

Nature

Mainly designs

For like properties and stuff

[worldly cave]

if youre talking about visual stuff primarily then yeah but theres a distinction between level design and environment art

[cyan geode]

Well more of designing yes

[worldly cave]

a level designer typically plans gameplay, pacing, and player interaction within a game space, while an environment artist creates the visual assets and aesthetics that populate and bring that space to life.

they are 2 very different things, but do overlap

[cyan geode]

Ohh

So basically onr builds the structure

And the other designs it

Right?

[worldly cave]

sure that works

you need someone to make the levels feel good and fun to play, and another person to make them good look

[worldly cave]

but youre sort of missusing the word design here

[cyan geode]

Whats the right word for it?

[worldly cave]

i guess uh visualizing?

[silent bloom]

Because you've created a variable in a script, then changed it in the inspector to 0

[storm patio]

why is currentHp serialized

(max health and maybe initial hp should be serialized, but current hp, as a state, shouldn't)

[fiery stone]

actually i didnt even touch it

[fiery stone]

im learning and following tutorial

[stuck flower]

Changing it in the script after the fact does not update the inspector.

The inspector exists to override the script values, otherwise it wouldn't do anything at all.

The point is to use the value you've dialed in for this specific script, instead of whatever is in the code, so you can make different copies of this component do different things.

Hmm I've been researching the camera topic for a bit now and everything I've been seeing, everybody is using the free look camera instead of 3rd person camera for... 3rd person?!

Any reason for that? 😄

[stuck flower]

It might not have existed yet

Are those tutorials for Cinemachine 2 or 3?

[reef dome]

even videos from 2 months ago 😄

cinemachine 3

whats the difference between : rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(xInput, rb.linear Velocity.y); and this rb.linearVelocity = net Vector2(xInput, rb.linear VelocitY);

i asked chat gpt and it said i will get errors, but i didnt get any errors and it works the same in both ways? so which one is correct? does it depend which unity version im using? is linearVelocity.y more suitable for unity 6.2? thx

[balmy kettle]

don't listen to the spam bot. but they are effectively the exact same thing

[fiery stone]

thought so, its just i wanna ask copilot first before asking here, the problem is ists chat gpt model, not claude opus so yes, stupid answers

[worldly cave]

i think you should not ask ai at all

[stuck flower]

Perfect summation of why you don't consult the bullshit oracle

[worldly cave]

actually

[storm patio]

consider reducing your AI intake altogether

use actual sources

[worldly cave]

its far easier to learn when you put in the effort to research why things are the way they are

[stuck flower]

Like I did. You can just check what properties Rigidbody2D has in the documentation

You don't have to ask the hallucination machine

[worldly cave]

Ai is right sometimes but will litterally hallucinate and lie to you so its not reliable

[storm patio]

LLMs are only right by coincidence

[worldly cave]

use it in very limited amounts almost always after youve exhausted every other venue, and by exhausted i mean like page 4 of google search results and this discord lol

[storm patio]

AIs can be right if they're designed to be right. like WolframAlpha

LLMs are not that kind of AI

[worldly cave]

i think thats just a matter of semantics

[storm patio]

actually thinking about it, i don't know if wolframalpha actually uses AI in any part of generating output, or if it's just NLP for understanding the input

[lapis gate]

WolframAlpha can only be as right as the computational algorithms it uses

[storm patio]

🤔 has that happened? ive never seen it be wrong based on the input
ive only ever seen it fail to parse input or fail to give an answer entirely

[lapis gate]

I'm saying you're less likely to be lied to your face using WolframAlpha than an LLM as it has distinct algorithms it will use

If you get bad output then it's mostly user error of bad input

[storm patio]

im not seeing how your previous message relates to that tbh (not that i disagree)

but yeah, at least wolframalpha tells you how it's interpreting your input and gives options to change the interpretation sometimes too

[stuck flower]

It can be wrong, if the person programming WolframAlpha has made a mistake. In which case, since it's deterministic algorithms, someone can go fix it.

As opposed to an LLM which is frequently wrong and cannot be patched since it doesn't actually have an algorithm

[noble laurel]

bro ai currently dont have that good of a memory, atleast the ones i worked with doesn’t

Any layout group pros in the chat?

Working on building a stream overlay in unity, have two items in a Horizontal Layout group, both set to flexible width, which allows them to each grow to fill the space of the row. However, when I start adding children to one of its children, it grows, even though there's so much free space.

I thought I had a pretty good handle on Layout Groups but this just baffles me

Oh, I suppose this belongs in #📲┃ui-ux , my mistake

[sonic ferry]

anyone wanna help me understand whats going on here in the profiler? Is UI stuff generally that expensive??
