[balmy kettle]

you can't modify built in materials, but you can copy the material and edit the copy and assign the copy to the object

[noble locust]

is there a way to make it so that it's not built in?

i have multiple objects to replace materials for

[balmy kettle]

read beyond the comma

[noble locust]

i did but it doesnt make sense

why would copying the material allow me to suddenly change it

and where do i even change that material to begin with

[warm locust]

unity has its own base copy of the material that you cannot edit

you have to make your own

[noble locust]

it's like some of the objects in my fbx have materials and others don't for some reason

[balmy kettle]

because the copy is not the built in one, it is simply a material with the exact same properties as the built in one.

[noble locust]

and is this how i change that?

[balmy kettle]

ohhhhhhh

thank you

Hello just switched to a new laptop but got a model that has to exported with a tool could anyone help it will be too late if I wait for unity assets download to finish

[stable sky]

Does anyone know how to remove this line between Terrain?

[fair cove]

Its not really a "backwards compatibility" thing, but different versions of the editor may have changed features or API that your project may depend on, so that warning is a fail-safe that "the chances of SOMETHING going wrong is non-zero", a caution that you should at least back up your project before trying to launch it in another version, the same is true if you want to change rendering pipelines in your project, this would be considered "upgrading" or "downgrading" your project - so unless theres a specific reason you need/want to change, I would suggest sticking to the version you made the project in

And each version that has the warning you saw, also has a "patch" version that should be completely safe to upgrade to (although I have heard some people report various strange issues with the editor itself breaking in strange ways, might be mostly Unity 6+ related or skill issue related)

[sly lake]

It’s never completely safe

Unity makes breaking changes to the shader API even in minor versions

[fair cove]

Oh, fun - sounds like another good reason to stick to a few specific versions during development just to avoid any potential problems (unless ofc, you actually need something in a minor or patch)

[charred fog]

You've been told already, there's no promotion in here or off-topic.

[hard aspen]

I plan on creating a new game. my second game ever for that fact. does anyone have any good planning/idea development template/scaffold they follow to make every game. this is just gonna be a short game that i can fully finish and just publish. doesnt have to be super developed, just a fully finished game that functions and i can publish to itch or smth. I wanna start brainstorming ideas and creating a strong backstory and ideas, so i dont veer off course and over commit to this project.

[sly lake]

1. Market research - figure out whether a game in this genre, with your skills, is likely to make enough money to make it worthwhile. Don't count on it being a hit, look at how the middle class does in that genre. Games made with a production quality you can match.
2. Prototyping - does this concept even work? Try to answer as many questions as possible, as cheaply as possible. Have other people playtest it. Do not reuse prototype code.
3. Planning - try and figure out roughly how long production will take. You can also write a general outline for your story here. Now that you know how much your game can potentially earn, and how long it'll take, you'll know whether it's worth the time.

[hard aspen]

Alright, thanks for the advice! I terms of money and all, I don't realy care too much since this is simply just exploration into game dev and I am only in highschool. I mean it would be nice to make money, but its not my main goal. ill be sure to prototype and plan. THanks again!

[gusty abyss]

I like normal maps

[pale escarp]

hey guys, can anybody help me with this issue? I'm trying to paint on the terrain with a default brush selected, but everytime I try to paint it gives me a marquee selection instead of a brush preview on hover and I can't figure out what setting this is. It worked before 😢

[fair cove]

In addition to what Wolfos mentioned, if you do plan to release I think publishing will give you lots of experience, if you plan to publish to Steam there is an initial upfront cost (and lots of contracts and bank stuff to fill out), if you publish to itch io its free and less "paperwork"

I would also suggest looking to a GDD (Game Design Document) - you dont have to plan a traditional one it can be just a few pages but whats important is detailing all your game mechanics, how you want them to work and what assets you need for them (this can also be a "spec list" or "features list"), then maybe look into UML diagrams or some way you can visualize the code youll need to make each feature of your game, I personally like to look at what code patterns can help guide me through a specific feature - and make sure you have source control setup (and use it often) so you dont lose too much work if the worst happens (or you simply want to revert)

[olive shard]

Hello everyone! I'm doing research on usage of AI in game development and as a part of that I made a survey that I would like to get as much people to fill out as possible. Is there anywhere in here I could post it?

[copper gust]

Not really no

[olive shard]

Awh bummer

Well cya then 🫡

[lost rock]

hi everyone, I am stuck on something weird, I dont normally work in URP so I have not experienced this before, but I have some weird film grain I cant get rid of, I tried to turn it off from from the graphics settings, camera settings, post processing, render settings, I cant get of this film grain to turn off:

its like I have a dirty lense

its much more visible on dark areas, because i am guessing the texture is white

also this effects both Editor camera and Game camera

[gusty abyss]

I really hate this too

luckily I found a fix lemme grab it rq

[lost rock]

thank you! I honestly spent 10 hours+ on it

Is this a feature? lol

[gusty abyss]

In the renderer set it to this

thats what fixed it for me

[lost rock]

thanks let me try that

[lost rock]

love you man, there is still noise but its different, but much much better

[gusty abyss]

I just found it by exploring honestly

I almost never use the documentation

[lost rock]

that might be the only option I did not change for some reason haha

[lost rock]

Let me get you a code for an asset 1 sec, as a thank you

I will DM you

[undone grove]

hi! i made this model, each limb is a .obj file, and i have a small problem with that
like when i want to rotate the hand, its rotating from the middle, and i really dont know how to fix this. i tried to put the hand in an empty, but its still rotating from the middle

[vivid river]

Create a empty gameobject at the shoulder and set it as pivot

[lapis gate]

lol yeah it's SSAO

er whoops forgot to scroll down

Funny thing is that SSAO is part of the rendering asset with URP, yet it's on the volume in HDRP

[chilly light]

is mesh lod system able to cull an object compelety?

[pallid rampart]

how do i make characters talk? (text to speech)

[lapis gate]

that's the idea

oh you mean like a final LOD that culls

pretty sure that's standard, no?

[chilly light]

i didnt see any generated mesh lod culled itself compelety after max level

and it wasnt mentioned in unity 6 mesh lod docs

[lapis gate]

ah, I'm thinking of the Terrain tool. It does provide a distance for trees/grass

on top of the local LODs it may have

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/class-LODGroup.html
The docs does have a cull group

[chilly light]

i know this but mesh lod works diffirently

it can be combined with lod groups for culling

[naive cloud]

So, after changing to URP, my game takes like 1 second to change from scene to scene

Is there a way to fix this?

[sly lake]

You can use the profiler to check what precisely is taking so long

Certainly isn't normal

[naive cloud]

(it's an editor only thing, so I'm not sure if it actually happens in the real thing)

[near wigeon]

then profile the build?

[novel flower]

Good morning, would anyone like to help me with my project? I have an error that I can't solve and I can't find the answer on the Internet, the situation is like this

I'm creating a racing game

• you have two cars to choose from in the menu
• when you select a car, it is moved to the track but the camera or the motion script do not work, which means there is nothing more you can do

[sly lake]

In play mode or edit mode?

Edit mode scene load does have a bit of overhead but it's not a second

Course that depends on what's in the scene

In play mode, but now that I figured out how to build the game into an exe too I noticed that the delay there is not noticeable at all when reloading the same scene, and slightly when changing scenes

(In the .exe)

[near wigeon]

when you load a scene tons of things can be created / initialized, especially if you have lots of GetComponents in Start / Awake

[naive cloud]

(If I am confusing), play mode in editor has some delay, .exe has none when reloading the same scene, and little when changing scenes

[near wigeon]

probably editor overhead
you can also try refreshing the Library . Cache

[novel flower]

And I don’t know what I do wrong

[naive cloud]

Alright I'll try

[near wigeon]

how can anyone possible know a cause by just seeing this video ?

if we don't know the setup, everything else just a waste of time guesswork

properly show everything in the setup, you might get useful help
screenshots, code etc.

[gray frigate]

Parenting an object to another empty object does nothing on its own

You'd need to move the object so that its pivot point aligns with the parent object's position

(Also, make sure that you're using the "Pivot" mode, not "Center" mode, in the scene view

[near wigeon]

has agent?

hey, so i have a script doing an action when it sees Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame... but now i want to add buttons that when clicked don't also perform that action, and i'm not sure on how to change that check? i tried setting a flag in the On Click function, but the mouse check in an Update seems to execute before that

[ionic gate]

hello

i have just started a new project in unity and i don't know which is the best way to add the 8-directional movement for the character

it's 2d

[near wigeon]

there is no "best way" . everything is tailored to specific project / game

[ionic gate]

okay also i am having hard time with animations 😬 in a previous project

[near wigeon]

add buttons that when clicked don't also perform that action
can you elaborate more

what kinda buttons? thats pretty vague in terms of unity

[red stream]

UI buttons on the screen

inside a canvas

[near wigeon]

you can use raycaster check or helper functions with event system, I believe there is also IsOverUI thing in event system but not sure how reliable it is

[red stream]

[ionic ermine]

Yo guys do y'all know how I can add a horse riding thing

[proven obsidian]

but that thing wasnt happening till i upgraded the editor version to last, because the used one got unsafe

and now i have to wait 40 minutes to get the build finished

[warm locust]

my bad i forgot wha tserver this is

[worldly cave]

a horse riding thing?

[ionic ermine]

Ye

[worldly cave]

like just general horse mounting and riding?

[ionic ermine]

I've been trying but I'm new to unity so it's a bit hard for me

[worldly cave]

step 1

[ionic ermine]

Yep

[worldly cave]

look it up

theres probably a few dozen youtube videos

[ionic ermine]

I did but most of them are using HAP

[worldly cave]

that can get you started

hap?

[ionic ermine]

yea horse anim thing

That one pack that's like 60 bucks

Malbers

[fair cove]

I would start with breaking down exactly how you want your "horse riding thing" to work, then you can look up each part of that

[ionic ermine]

Uh wait I'll show u I saw a video about a dude

Wair

Wait

[proven obsidian]

and also for some reason editor crashes every time when i open lighting settings

[ionic ermine]

https://youtu.be/d8YoAsDNGrI?si=nTTt7FqOh0bjpQOA

See like this

I already have a horse model with all the animations and also I have a player system that can move and all

[worldly cave]

thats a good start

now comes the game design portion of figuring out how to start off with what you want

[ionic ermine]

I used the unity 3rd person movement system model

[worldly cave]

if i was you step one would be to create a system where you can use some kind of interact key in the proximity of the horse

for starters simply have print out a debug line of code

[ionic ermine]

How can I do that

Sorry I'm relitivly new to unity

[proven obsidian]

how much???????

[ionic ermine]

The thing was I was a dev in Roblox so I used to code with lua and not c#

[worldly cave]

well i mean the syntax difference is the least important part here lol, if you had a lot of dev experience in roblox it should translate to unity

but i cant really help you how to "do that" because i cant get a good read on what your individual skill is

[ionic ermine]

Ok

[worldly cave]

you said you created a 3rd person* player system that can move? yet your questioning how to add a simple proximity check and intercation key?

if i was you i would start with the unity pathway tutorials

to brush up your knowledge on programming and design

i was a roblox developer too, but i got tired of limited stuff and bad moderation, so ive decided to move to unity

and i was amazed of the possibilities in unity

and also i felt unchained

[ionic ermine]

Yea

[proven obsidian]

roblox is making the developers too lazy

they add the game ready features, and almost every game is succeed

even if you dont put much effort to it

[ionic ermine]

Kuzmo can U help me to add a system where kinda like a Roblox proximity where if U press E U can get on the horses back. Forget about the movement for now

[proven obsidian]

you can use ready assets

theres must be some in asset store

[ionic ermine]

Yea there is one called hap

But it's 60 bucks

I'm not trying to spend any money for now

[proven obsidian]

you can also ask ai

but dont use it too much

[ionic ermine]

yea thats the thing

ill most likly start using too much

im trynna ignore it for now

!learn

[proven obsidian]

well thats a good decision too

👆

its not that i dont want to help you, but you wont learn how to problem solve issues like this if i solve this for you, you have the entire internet as your resource, start by figuring out how to check for proximity, theres a couple of ways, once you do you will have a better idea on how to approach this challenge

good luck

and yes its a very smart decision to ignore AI, do not use it!

[proven obsidian]

for some reason, i get the idea to solve the problem after asking for help

[violet thunder]

Because asking for help usually requires you to actually think through the problem so you can properly formalize it

[fair cove]

A good start would be to learn how to use the Input System: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/HowDoI.html - I would also suggest "samyam" on YouTube if you prefer video tutorials, this will help you figure out the "press E to do event" part, once you can get an event happening on input, you can decide what that event should do - the Unity Learn tutorials linked here should help you with the "get on back" part since that involves positioning and parenting the object, 2 concepts youll have to get familiar with how Unity does things

[proven obsidian]

i can give you the best tip

if you cant solve something, get rest for a while

[balmy kettle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

[worldly cave]

niche software engineering wikipedia pages

my favourite

[fair cove]

I have solved so many problems with the "rubber duck" effect sometimes without even sending a message just typing it out helps a lot

[proven obsidian]

you get the idea in random time

[worldly cave]

i personally take a walk and come back with a solution

like 99% of the time

just requires a change of environment imo and its a eureka moment every time

[fair cove]

Thats a good approach too, any kind of fresh air or exercise can help the brain

[proven obsidian]

and also write all the ideas to somewhere

so you can lighten the weight on your head

[fleet canopy]

you can do a sphere cast and while player object is in the sphere cast when they press key perform an action

You can also make it show a ui when the player is in the sphere with setactive

Or you could do if the distance between the prompt object and the player is a certain distance then it also does it

there’s a lot of solutions

@worldly cave

look i added this

i detects wether the player is near the horse or nah

also if u are near the horse and u press e a debug.log happens that says u are now riding the horse

whats next

[worldly cave]

i feel as if I and 2 other people made it pretty clear that you wont get anywhere if we just lead you through the problem every step of the way...

deconstruct your problem further

into multiple challenges

[ionic ermine]

but the thing is i dont know what to do next

[worldly cave]

solve those individually

youre going to have to figure it out otherwise you wont get anywhere as a developer, as harsh as it is

this is basic problem solving

[ionic ermine]

alr bruh

[worldly cave]

im gonna say it again

deconstruct your problem

you already solved 1 part of it, figure out what the next parts are and go from there

[mild radish]

u made the character, w/ the camera, n the movement
u walk up to horse and interact
u now need horse character, w/ camera, n the movement (if im thinking ur wanting him to ride the horse next)
that means theres (2) different states.. 2 different views, code etc

soo.. when u interact u just swap it all out..
basically the connecting part would just be the transition..
animation of the guy getting on the horse, moving the camera, switching controls
all that being ^ between ur two different character states (walking -> transition/mounting -> riding)

[red stream]

is the input system icon supposed to be visible in-game if the camera happens to be looking at it? i feel like i accidentally enabled some setting because the person i'm working with doesn't see it, along with the outline of some canvas

or is that a linux vs windows bug

[balmy kettle]

[red stream]

ah ty

hard to search for without knowing what it is

[strange moon]

I am upgrading a unity project from Unity 3.5.5 to 6. fixed some compile errors. When I enter a scene, it simply shows the 3d map. No menu, no nothing. How to fix this?

[balmy kettle]

can you be more specific about what precisely you are referring to?

also, why go straight from a 13 year old version directly to 6 instead of upgrading incrementally? also why were you even using 3.5.5

[strange moon]

So you tell me that upgrading in many steps is better?

[balmy kettle]

for incredibly old versions, yeah it's definitely safer because you get fewer breaking changes per step than if you did it all in one step

[strange moon]

The issue is that the menu that I am expecting simply does not show up and it shows the 3d map from home menu instead.

[sly lake]

Gotta debug it

It’s gonna be game specific

[balmy kettle]

considering nobody here can read your mind, we can't possibly know what "the menu that i am expecting" actually means so nobody can really provide anything other than general advice and guessing

provide actual details and screenshots if necessary

[strange moon]

Let me screenshot the cute 3d map

there you go

I have no idea how the camera stuff works. I just hope it works until it doesnt and I am lost

[sly lake]

Just gotta get in there with a debugger

[strange moon]

I would need to know what and how the menu gui is activated which I have no clue about

I would need to debug 3.5.5 in order to understand the working case. I dont even know how to attach debugger with that old version. The Editor throws git errors

[balmy kettle]

we still don't even have any information about what "menu gui" you are referring to. but surely you know the specifics of your own project, no?

[near wigeon]

how you not know your own code / project 🤔

sounds sus

[strange moon]

It is not my project. Do you guys only maintain your own project? As a software developer you spend 90% of the time debugging and working on other people‘s code

[balmy kettle]

so, what, you were hired to work on something you don't even have any familiarity with?
or is this some third party project you downloaded from somewhere, or even asset ripped? because one of those things is definitely not allowed here, and the answer to the other would be "ask the original developer"

[strange moon]

Not hired to work on it as well.

[near wigeon]

also a good developer would know how to debug and work their way back first

basic debugging go a long way

[strange moon]

So then I am not a good developer, cool

[near wigeon]

take the steps to self-improve instead of "this no work why?"

[strange moon]

Tbh I am not good with Unity so that is why I am asking

[near wigeon]

by some random project you ripped

how else would you not know the setups, fairly sure the original devs probably kept some sort log internally

[strange moon]

I see its hard to answer if the question is vague. Usually I get good answers out of it anyways that helps me

[near wigeon]

debugging is a good answer?

[worldly cave]

"i have problem"
"debug"
"no"

[plain dagger]

If you can open a menu, do that, go check the components it has and go investigate references and users

[strange moon]

Surely not. Of course I am debugging it

[strange moon]

Thanks

[near wigeon]

Ide search, breakpoints, find references , theres even assets for this

[strange moon]

Assets for debugging?

[worldly cave]

yes

[plain dagger]

it should be easier now to find all users of an asset in unity

should be a context menu option

[near wigeon]

Other programs but I mean also assets to find references and whats connected to what, some even in graph mode
but nothing you can't do yourself anyway

[worldly cave]

does anyone know what happened to that 2019 editor UI redesign concept?

was it scrapped?

[sly lake]

Some of the terrain stuff made it in

[worldly cave]

yeah but i mean look at that inspector

its beautiful

Other than that, they probably laid off whoever was pushing it

[near wigeon]

unity plz add icons to the hierachy natively

[worldly cave]

unity dont do that i already wasted money on vhiearchy2 😔

[plain dagger]

yes unity please do it better and also buy odin and integrate that too

[strange moon]

You could have left the „but“ out

[worldly cave]

odin as an extension would be really nice but i kinda doubt the sirenix guys would ever get bought by unity

theres a lot of "disgustingly" priced assets on the asset store its almost criminal

not just in terms ofthe amount of money it costs but the way they charge for seats commercial lisences and different "content packs" for their assets behaviour designer

[strange moon]

The best tip I can give a Junior is work with other people‘s code. If you only write your own hello world app, you will never ever be useful for any software developer team

[worldly cave]

how often are you giving tips to juniors

Quite a lot

i wonder what their inspiration is hmmm (its unity)

[worldly cave]

yeah pretty shameless too

[strange moon]

It is time for you to actually give back to the world and work on the Linux Kernel. Guess what you will read a lot of code that is not yours

[worldly cave]

but i mean the scene system works

godot does it too

so why not 🤷‍♀️

[plain dagger]

what sbox does is good but im not sure if there was a point working of source 2 anymore

[worldly cave]

i still dont know how their individual distribution plan is going to work when you account for source 2

[plain dagger]

I got to use sbox a lot back at the start (tfs2)

[worldly cave]

like if a developer wants to use s&box to develop a standalone game what are they expected get a lisence for source 2 from valve?

[worldly cave]

i used it during a game jam and its really good

imo its still leagues behind unity and godot but it does a couple of important things unity lacks

[junior path]

I really want to learn sandbox if and only if it gets ported to consoles

[worldly cave]

[plain dagger]

well i mostly stopped when tf s2 got taken down because well I had nothing to work on anymore 🤷‍♂️

anyway unity great

[worldly cave]

yeah

i just hope we get hotloading

like in s&box

[junior path]

that's the reason i stick with unity. I treat it as a shortcut to not learning graphics apis. that would make me insane, especially if it's something like vulkan

[sly lake]

Yeah

Valve decides whether you get to publish

And where

[woeful glacier]

joo i need some help with the animator which channel do i turn to? (yes i read the directory)

[worldly cave]

yeah after hdtf i dont think thats ever happening

apart from like free to play non commercial titles

[junior path]

OH YEAH, don't get me started with AGC (the PS5 graphics api)

[worldly cave]

#🏃┃animation ...

[woeful glacier]

mustve missed that, but thanks

Hey guys,
i updated my unity hub on macos and since then i am unable to open unityHub, even after uninstalling it and deleting the files from applications support folder.
can anyone help me with this or experiencing the same issue?

[charred fog]

Did you reboot?

[near wigeon]

would also check the hub logs

[hushed obsidian]

I can't believe this worked. 👀
Thank you so much.

[undone widget]

hey can someone help me here i wrote this C# script attached it to a cube so when i click on it it deletes but nothing happens can someone help me - using UnityEngine;

public class clicktodel : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}

private void OnMouseDown()
{
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

}

[violet thunder]

Did you read the doc?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[undone widget]

what do u mean, im not sure what you mean by doc

[violet thunder]

The documentation page

It says that the object needs a Collider, does it have one?

[undone widget]

yes it has a box collider

[worldly cave]

so you click on the cube and it gets destroyed?

[undone widget]

thats whats ment to happen but nothing happens

[violet thunder]

This depends on the old input system btw.

[worldly cave]

are you using the new input system or the old one?

[undone widget]

sorry im not sure what you mean and how to check im new to unity

[worldly cave]

also put a debug before the destroy to see if youre even actually clicking on the cube

[worldly cave]

youre probably on the new one

[violet thunder]

The documentation page i linked tells you how to check

[worldly cave]

you have to enable both in the settings if you want to do it like this

[violet thunder]

Docs are written by humans for humans

You should get used to reading it if you want to code

[undone widget]

okay ill read it

[violet thunder]

Btw #💻┃code-beginner next time

[undone widget]

oh okay thanks, quickly i read through it but still not rlly sure what it means and what to do to make it work

[plain dagger]

This new project is probably using the new input system

[violet thunder]

To support this callback in your project, change the Active Input Handling setting in Player settings to either Both or Input Manager (Old).

[plain dagger]

2 solutions exist:

• Change input handling to both or old
• Add event system to scene + physics raycaster to camera and use IPointerClickHandler interface

[violet thunder]

The settings window has a search bar

[worldly cave]

this isnt a rust support subreddit

and we cant help you

just because the game runs on unity does not mean we can solve issues regarding the game itself

contact facepunch support or look for help on their discord

[dim quiver]

ok i apologize chat gpt just told me to go here so mb

[worldly cave]

also pretty sure offering money as a reward for solving problems is very much against the rules

also you never mentioned you tried reinstalling rust, so unless you have done that you probably should.

oh nvm he gone

[hexed arrow]

Hello!

I need some help, im trying to achieve this look for the atmosphere in my game, a green fog that isn't limited to game objects, and just shows everywhere, i tried to do this but im stuck, and I tried adding a cube and turning it huge, to then slap a skybox texture on it, not a single bit of the sky shows, just green fog covering the entire sky, so im stuck, does anyone know how this can be done?

[worldly cave]

this looks like simple depth mist

im positive you can just enable this inside of the enviroment tab in the lighting settings

[violet thunder]

The cube might not be visible because of the camera's far clip distance (max render distance).

I wouldn't crank it up just for that though

[worldly cave]

Window>Rendering>Lighting>Environment

it lets you just enable distance based fog you can tweak and adjust

as well as change its color to green

its way cheaper than volumetric fog and was used in older games for optimization purposes since it helped hide distant geometry you needed to occlude

[wraith mesa]

hello, how are you guys doing?

[hexed arrow]

Good idea 💡

[worldly cave]

did the enviromental fog do anything for you

[hexed arrow]

i did it before

[hexed arrow]

however, i do have a probleme now, i dont know how i can add a 6 sided skybox onto one cube, and thats more of a skybox thing,

and i mean more of a skybox thing as in the skybox shader

[worldly cave]

is there any reason you have to do the skybox on a cube and not use the enviroment?

if you also needed a physical object for the skybox in the scene wouldnt a dome make more sense?

[hexed arrow]

im using the fog too

[hexed arrow]

also yea that does make sense

[warm locust]

has anyone seen this bug before?

the lighting seems to be split at a 45 degree angle

it follows my camera around in the editor and in game

[polar basalt]

how can i make a free text mode for like questions

so that i have options which is string[]

and in each string there format is like this "obj1|obj2|obj3|obj4..." and that means obj1 OR obj2 OR obj3....

and i have to atleast have n number of tokens that match into the option

example:
["1", "2|3|4", "5", "6|7|8"]
needed n = 3
input = "1 2 3 4" - not pass
input = "1 2 5" - pass
input = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8" - pass

i tried making it but it doesnt work so i scrapped it and i wanna remake that system as it was getting too big :p

[plain dagger]

Are you thinking of regular expressions?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expression-language-quick-reference

[polar basalt]

could use yeah but idk how exactly for this

[plain dagger]

quite easily

Or you can split the string yourself and perform many Contains() checks

[polar basalt]

ah not exactly

[plain dagger]

yea i am reading your example and it is a bit confusing, are these meant to be pools of characters and only 1 should exist of each?

anyway regex is quite powerful and can probably do this but id not recommend if you didnt know what regex was before now

[polar basalt]

wait, i think it was just one mistake in my code, give me a minute

also yes i do know what regex is and ive used it

this looks really bad

but if it will work then im fine 😭

i can optimise it later

it works...

ah also forgot to normalize input for that too

[verbal valve]

How can I animate a part of a weapon an animate the other side without making a seperate aniamtion

[worldly cave]

can you clarify?

you want 2 different animations on the same weapon to play at the same time?

you can do this using layers and generic avatars ig

[verbal valve]

ill send a video

[verbal valve]

So I have a Fortnite Sideways minigun model and it has several part on it in game and Im trying to get one piece on the right side and one piece on the left side to move away from each other at the same time

without making 10 different animations

[worldly cave]

first

head to #🏃┃animation

then share your video and what you want to do

Hey guys, anyone have experience in editing figma assets for their unity editor projects or have resources/tutorials on it?

[brisk anvil]

is it smart to load scriptable objects via resources.load?
I am only loading around 20.

it's for a shop, I am saving each shop item as a scriptable object.
should I instead drag it as reference?

[slow dirge]

Should probably use a reference, unless there's a specific reason you need to load it manually.

[brisk anvil]

awesome

Just saw this sorry. Yes I have made a really small game design document on a sticky note( Anything bigger and I will start wandering off). I plan on publishing on Itch, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the Itch page look good like others. I'll do the other stuff too, thanks!!

[vague trail]

but character very cool

[hard aspen]

I am just starting a new project in unity 6. how do i get a good character controller/fps controller. i don't wanna make one

[ionic ermine]

unity first person controller asset. ONLY use this if u dont have much time or sum urgent reason

[hard aspen]

Say I do have time/it is NOT urgent. What should I use then?

[ionic ermine]

make one ur self

[hard aspen]

TT

[ionic ermine]

:D'

[hard aspen]

is it really worth it? this is like my second game ever

lmao

i was trynna make a small game i can publish quickly for experience

[ionic ermine]

then id recomend a simple 2d game like flappy bird or a plat former

ur ram and gpu is what matters most

i think 8 gigs will be fine too

and my gpu is really bad so

guys do u know where i can get a riding animation

like a basic riding idle animation for my player

when he is sitting on the horse

[hard aspen]

Try mixamo but m not sure u will find it there

[strange moon]

Can anyone provide a good game design document?

[ionic ermine]

guys im geting this error Assets\ShowPrompt.cs(8,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Cinemachine' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

even tho i have cinemachine installed and i used it in the thirdperson controller

[strange moon]

add using to the file where you use it

[ocean pumice]

There are ton of examples. Even game design docs for bigger games. Just google it, first 5 results cover that. Game design documents use to change over the course of creating them. So you gotta look at some tutorials about the entire process of creating a game to know, where things change and what affect the game design doc.

[strange moon]

Could you provide me one good link?

[ocean pumice]

Nope, just google and research. its not rocket science to find them...

[strange moon]

I cannot judge if the game design document is good or bad

[ocean pumice]

If its from a AAA game like bioshock or gta, i guess it could be good

[strange moon]

Thanks for the two names!

[copper gust]

gross profile pic

its really dependent on who and where but generally nowadays a game design document is getting somewhat outdated as a concept

a lot of smaller projects just go straight into project iteration trying to figure out what they are looking for directly and a lot of bigger projects plan in ways that aren't confined to a single document

[urban void]

Hii 👋

[strange moon]

I think people judge me a lot with that profile picture

[copper gust]

considering it's an edit of someone accused of being a rapist and pedophile among many other things, yeah probably

it's not a great look

[strange moon]

Thats insightful information. How do people document nowadays?

[strange moon]

You are talking about the president of the United States. People voted for him.

[copper gust]

Yes I am. It's not a good look for the people that voted for him either.

[ocean pumice]

No political discussions allowed on this server, afaik.

[ionic ermine]

sorry i dint get u

[copper gust]

Not neccasarily trying to make it a political thing, just calling it out purely based on the explicit accusations

[strange moon]

use the „using“ statement

[copper gust]

Heavily dependent on the studio but places have drifted more towards wiki-style documenting which is abit more modular, expandable and easier to keep track of. There's not many (if any) public ones you could take a look at though

[ionic ermine]

i am using

[strange moon]

Thanks, I wanted to do it wiki like.

[ocean pumice]

Also heavily dependent on the game itself I guess. If its just full of mechanics, it will differ a lot from a game like The Last of Us, which is more based on narrative game design, even if basic mechanics for a 3rd person game still apply.

and from my experience, game design docs/wikis will never be finished. They change on every iteration you make in prototyping for example.

But also, my experience is a bit outdated probably, as I am more into company visualisations right now and less in game dev

[strange moon]

I wanted to use it to document high level features of the game, so people know in which direction the game goes and everyone is on the same page. I dont wanna go to deep in details with it

[ionic ermine]

someone help me out bro

[ocean pumice]

The depth of detail is up to you, so the game mechanics and loop and what not is clear to everyone who needs that information. But if you are talking about a smaller game, as IAmBatby said, its not necessary to cover as much information as a AAA game would.

[strange moon]

Thanks for the information guys. I think I know what I am going to do about it

[ocean pumice]

Are you sure, you installed it correctly?

[ionic ermine]

uhm so i went to the package mangaer

and

installed cinemachinie

i used cionemachine before too in the third person unity asset it uses cinemachine

[reef dome]

!ide

[vagrant root]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[reef dome]

Your ide should show your unity errors

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, maybe it installed it as a dependency. But if you did not install the package, the scripts with the namespace wont be available.

[ionic ermine]

i thioud that but i went to package manager remoed cinemachine and then installed again

[ocean pumice]

Oh, so it was installed? But yeh, at first install your IDE correctly

[reef dome]

Also are you using the internal unity package or the outdated asset store one?

[strange moon]

Does the ide work with Unity 2022 for example?

Oh yes Visual Studio 2022 is same year.

[orchid kraken]

Hi, so I having some problems with the assets manager.

It doesn't work to import / remove assets from my project.

I started the conversation in the wrong discord channel: #💻┃code-beginner message

[sterile sedge]

Hi, I have an end-of-year project for my school where I have to create the beginning of a video game, so I decided it would be an open world in third person set in Japan during the Edo period. The style is similar to Genshin Impact. Would anyone have any advice for me?

[ocean pumice]

In your project folder, not in editor. There should be a packages cache folder inside your Library Folder. Check that for the identifier you are trying to import the package from

[orchid kraken]

when you saying not in the editor, do you mean not in the code editor or not in the i unity editor

lmao

[ocean pumice]

In your Windows Explorer / Mac Finder

[orchid kraken]

Hmm, where should I look for it in the project?

nvm found it

should I just try to remove all files in PackageCache

Also could I try to remove all files in PackageManager?

[orchid kraken]

I dont really want to remove anything that I shouldnt...

[ocean pumice]

as I said, search for the bundle identifier of your package. In your packagemanager, there is something like this "com.unity.2d.sprites" thing. In PackageCache folder, there could be a folder fitting your packages identifier.

[orchid kraken]

i can find any, but I mean, isnt it just all cache anyway, so shouldnt be bad to remove really?

[ocean pumice]

no need to if its not in there tho. You could also remove the entirey library folder, which could reset stuff like editor layouts. But yeh, can be the last resort to reset Unity to the latest state. What asset are you trying to import? Maybe its not supported anymore?

[orchid kraken]

My projects uses unity 6000.2.13f1, I want to install this:

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/wood/yughues-free-wooden-floor-materials-13213

[ocean pumice]

And you are sure in console, you also did not untick "warnings" and "errors"?

[copper gust]

making a much smaller game

[orchid kraken]

nope, I havent, I have 2 warnings only:

Camera Main Camera does not contain an additional camera data component. Open the Game Object in the inspector to add additional camera data.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

Camera Main Camera does not contain an additional camera data component. Open the Game Object in the inspector to add additional camera data.

0 logs, 2 warnings, 0 erros

[ocean pumice]

Hm, weird. Just for testing and after backing up your project, did you try to update the unity version?

[orchid kraken]

I havent tried to update the unity version

should I do that?

maybe just creating a new unity game an transfering everyting

I think I will do that

[ocean pumice]

I would try to update first

[orchid kraken]

okey I will try with unity 6.3 then

[wooden chasm]

yo

I'm having issues with AI in unity

anyone else?

[copper gust]

[orchid kraken]

I updated the project, but the thing is that this is actually a problem on ALL my other projects to, can I reinstall unity in somehow?

[ocean pumice]

Is it happening with every package or just that one?

[orchid kraken]

its happning with every project, for every package

[ocean pumice]

Where are you storing your projects?

[orchid kraken]

C:\Users\wilme\Orimaies

Orimaies is my current project

[ocean pumice]

Just for testing, try to place a new project inside your Documents folder inside your userfolder.

[orchid kraken]

yeah, same problem with the new project

[gray bloom]

yooo why do they have this and the IPointerDrag? which is better use context for each

[storm patio]

OnMouseDrag is used with the old input system (input manager). it's not triggered if you use the new input system
IPointerDrag is used with the UI system and is more flexible

[ocean pumice]

Maybe remove Unity entirely and reinstall. Not sure, what could have happened there.

[gray bloom]

like a deprecated thing?

[storm patio]

not exactly deprecated, no. that's a specific term

[orchid kraken]

Okey, just use windows uninstall then?

[gray bloom]

aight the ipointer should excels every part then

[storm patio]

@orchid kraken your project folder isn't synced to a drive, right?

[orchid kraken]

bro you are SAYING this now

when I uninstalled everythbing...

😭

[gray bloom]

oh it can be a coroutine, dont know how this will help tho

[storm patio]

i just got here...

[plain dagger]

we need a huh how page on the mouse messages vs event system pointer events

too many people to go to use the old ones in new projects

[ionic ermine]

guys is it possible to customize unity

to make it look good

like themes and all

kinda like in vs code

[shell citrus]

Yeah you can change the color of different part of unity. I don't exacly know but i believe it is in edit->preferences. But if you want themes like a picture for tabs, no it doesn't have the option.

[fair cove]

When it comes to making your itch page (or any storefront page) look good, for a second project I wouldnt worry about this until your pretty much done your game, but aside from looking at other pages that is similar to your kind of game, you could look into how Steam pages are marketed and apply the same advice, but marketing gets a bit involved and might require some art and editing in the process

[wooden chasm]

how long until they look into my bug report

I need this fixed

[storm patio]

i mean, you didn't say what the issue was

[wooden chasm]

I did in the bug report

[copper gust]

can take days

weeks

months

years

just depends

[wooden chasm]

holy shmoly

[storm patio]

yeah we don't have access to the bug report so we can't give any extra info

but if you say what the issue was, we could

• give alternatives
• say what you did wrong (if it wasn't a bug)
• point to an existing bug report (if it's a known bug)
• point to a known working version
  etc

[wooden chasm]

ok then

[wooden chasm]

Using the /run command in Unity AI assistant is not working. When using /run and then typing (in this case "as") the cursor goes behind /run and types a random color code, which is the wrong input.

cant type anything at all without it auto color code input

and cursor moving

but only for /run

[storm patio]

well that'd be the color tag for the rich text

that sounds like it'd be a known issue by now, though maybe not published yet if it's a new version

couldn't you like, just remove the color tag and go from there

[wooden chasm]

no

I start typing it reoccurs

[storm patio]

please do not pester random people for help

they can't even do anything about the bug, they aren't a dev

and no, that is not a signal to seek out specific devs for help

[wooden chasm]

ok then

[open locust]

What should I use for 2D game?

[storm patio]

one that has 2d in the name

[cedar cobalt]

What’s the best way to learn c#?

[open locust]

I mean what that Render pipeline is

What should I use

[storm patio]

there's no "best", it varies for each person
there are beginner resources available in #💻┃code-beginner

[open locust]

Okay ty

[storm patio]

either one will work

if you're starting out it won't really matter anyways

though if you're using some specific asset, consider which pipelines it's compatible with

[open locust]

Aah okay

[storm patio]

this is not a space for off-topic

[charred fog]

@little beacon You've been already pointed out #📖┃code-of-conduct you really should read it.

[molten kernel]

Is there a good way to have shared libraries between games? I have some standard libraries such as UI which I want to have in multiple games. I know I can make a package, but the kicker is I want it to be editable in any of the games but shared. In .net development you can put multiple projects in one solution to achieve this - that way any project can be run and you can instantly edit the shared lib. Is there anything like that in Unity?

The best idea I had was using git sub repos or symlinks. Neither is all that good IMO

[copper gust]

Not the answer your looking for but so far I’ve just found the path of least resistance was just biting the bullet and having my package project solution open anytime i wanna edit it and pushing & updating whenever

[molten kernel]

Fair enough, I think that's not a bad solution but my machine is a little low spec. Is it fast to update the package across if you need to tweak something? I've never worked with my own packages before.

I think I will just make a monorepo and accept that git will be a little messy

[copper gust]

I mean it’s never fast enough for me to be happy and my package commit names are horrific but at the end of the day it’s fine ish

Having it as a actual package is nice

[molten kernel]

What advantages have you found using a package? Versioning?

[copper gust]

For me it’s probably reasons not as enticing but one is accessibility, just having all my handy stuff in a clean public repo i can plug into whatever whenever right into Unity. Also might be a bit of copium but the full separation of the package also puts me into a better mindset of making better concise decisions about my code design choices

[molten kernel]

Yep I think the mindset of designing a lib is quite different, less temptation to make spaghetti if you have a hard barrier..

Thanks for sharing your experience, I will look into it more 🙂

[copper gust]

It is a pain in the ass when troubleshooting though 😭

[molten kernel]

Yeah I worked a lot as a .net dev with both mono repos and packages and found mono repos are so much easier if you can get away with it

[drowsy salmon]

is there a way to open files in unity from vs code? it would save me so much time reviewing pr's

[vivid river]

You can just double click the scripts

[reef dome]

other way around 😄

[reef dome]

not fully sure, rider lets you show usages even inside of unity and you can open them from there, no idea if vs code supports that aswell

[tall hearth]

Not sure of vs code but i would assume its got a similar tool to vs, but look around for something along the lines of solution explorer (vs has it named that)

[drowsy salmon]

ok thank u
maybe I'll try rider

[gusty abyss]

everything worked but these 2

[polar basalt]

try again only for the android it may work

i had that happen and just tried again

also try restart pc before doing that

[gusty abyss]

I clicked retry like 7 times

[polar basalt]

no no like click exit

[gusty abyss]

shouldn't matter too much but I am using Linux

[polar basalt]

i think that matters a lot

[gusty abyss]

eh probably not

[polar basalt]

im pretty sure there was some bug with linux installing

check your unity hub version

[gusty abyss]

I just reinstalled the editor alltogether without Android and then try to add it after

[gusty abyss]

I see

[gusty abyss]

I am on Debian

see if your hub is 3.15.3

if not update it

[gusty abyss]

I just got the hub today

[polar basalt]

do you know how to check version?

[gusty abyss]

I needed to reinstall it cause I recently updated my distro

isn't it like

unityhub --version

or something like that

[polar basalt]

dont know exactly for linux

but yeah see if its the newest

[gusty abyss]

I havent really needed to check versions before

I am on Ubuntu though

[polar basalt]

im only saying this because u might be on the version that has that issue

so u need to update to latest, maybe package manager still has the old one

[gusty abyss]

I got the hub just a few hours ago

[polar basalt]

i know i know

[polar basalt]

idk try asking in #🐧┃linux

[polar basalt]

nice, just try installing without android

then add android

[polar basalt]

if it doesnt work adding android try restarting pc it might help, if that doesnt help then i dont really know, ive faced this issue on my old laptop but i didnt really fix it tbh

and i also faced it here but just a restart made it work

[agile arch]

where can i send notice for collaboration

Yo, need some advice on blender workflow stuff
Is it better to export an entire grayboxxed level as one FBX or is it better to split everything in their own objects
not sure if theres an easy way to swap out models if its just one model when I have a non grayboxxed version

[worldly cave]

well

the ideal scenario is you greybox directly inside of unity using probuilder...

but since you already did in blender you should probably divide it into sizable chunks and export it like that

seperate the chunks logically

the reason you should greybox with probuilder is because it means you arent dealing with what are basically meshes and instead you can always make adjustments to individual pieces of your level as you go on, it also means when its time to actually do some enviroment art its very easy to iterate on

[short grove]

Ah
Aight then

[copper gust]

Really depends, some people might prefer blender route to probuilder

especially if it involves more modular stuff and/or prefab related stuff

[worldly cave]

i mean theres like only a few things blender explicitly does better than probuilder for greyboxing

but the point is you can always adjust in unity directly

thats the main advantage

you can always quickly tweek the greyboxed level without having to seperate boot up blender and reimport a new mesh each time

[short grove]

I think my issue rn is I grayboxxed everything in blender, I exported everything as a single fbx in unity and now that I've finished one item I can't really update it easily without basically re-doing the whole level import

[worldly cave]

exactly!

thats why probuilder is da goat

[copper gust]

That isn’t a blender problem

That’s a making it a single thing problem

Which you shouldn’t do either probuilder either

[short grove]

Yeah twas my original question

[worldly cave]

even if he divided into multiple meshes he still needs to update each (changed) mesh manually when making changes in blender

which is the reason why probuilder is simply faster to use for greyboxing

[copper gust]

Sometimes it is not simple nor faster, again really depends on the context of the game and the greyboxing

[short grove]

My issue isn't grayboxing. My issue is swappoing out finished assets one by one when I've built my stuff as one fbx export

I just messed up my substitution really

[worldly cave]

i mean do you have an example where blender would for any reason be more beneficial to use over probuilder in terms of grayboxing?

[copper gust]

Personally I’ve had way too many instability issues with probuilder things that the iteration time it’s meant to save ends up getting lost

[short grove]

Man

[copper gust]

Weird floating point corruption issues when dealing with rotations and occasions where probuilder meshes in prefab instances just kinda explode and die

[worldly cave]

I mean fair

its not perfect

but i meant more utility wise

anything probuilder cant accomplish for simple greyboxing that blender can 🤔

[copper gust]

Depending on the context fairly considerable probuilder mesh initialisation at startup when using at scale

[worldly cave]

i havent seen any problems myself when using probuilder even with an almost fully blocked out level but i am not surprised that it would have issues, and I would be lying if the actual creation portion of meshes isnt faster in Blender

[short grove]

I just wanted to know the best way of going about replacing grayboxed objects with their proper models

[worldly cave]

but i think it just being built into unity and allowing me to make changes directly in Unity is what seals the deal for me (in terms of grayboxing)

[worldly cave]

start off slow, handle larger chunks of your level first

do it in multiple "passes"

i always personally start with the ground first because thats going to be the most impactful for gameplay itself so i like to get it out of the way

but basically start by replacing all your larger primitives with models first and then start dealing with more fine details

[short grove]

My original issue was that I exported the grayboxxed level from blender as a single FBX
I just wanted to know if it would have been better to have exported everything model by model to substitute the mesh easier later or if theres an easy way to just replace a single fbx model while keeping existing components/scripts on pre-existing parts

Im assuming with the whole chunk thing it woulda been better to do things bit by bit tho

[worldly cave]

i mean you could just place your models over your "level chunk" and go from there

but also ideally even when replacing a greybox with models you still want to use some of the graybox geometry for certain things

and that is going to get tricky when all of your level is 1 mesh

[copper gust]

Ideally each different part would be separate yes

What should be separate is kinda a case by case basis but usually if you imagine what could be reasonably detatched and carried by a human or like a forklift it’s probably seperate

You could look at asset packs for reference on what that might look like in your case

Then since they are all seperate Unity just looks at that specific fbx file to find the right model per thing

So if you update eg. Barrel.fbx all the barrel prefabs are now looking at the new one

[proven obsidian]

dude damn

this goes in loops how do i fix it

[sudden ruin]

18 thousand million?? this cant be normal

[proven obsidian]

thats million?????????

gosh

[proven obsidian]

it stuck again

its one hour already

[worldly cave]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/motion-matching-for-unity-145624 anyone know what happened to this asset?

[proven obsidian]

i gonna crash out if it returns the error

[worldly cave]

it was like the most popular motion matching solution and now suddenly all of the youtube videos have their comments disabled

the documentation links dont work

have the reviews are saying its abandoned

it was also like 80 bucks at one point and now its free?

🧐

[ionic ermine]

does the asset work

are u able to use it?

[proven obsidian]

dude

my project is corrupted

[ionic ermine]

lmao

mb

[proven obsidian]

i cant open the lighting settings

it crashes every time i do

[worldly cave]

i havent personally tried it but i need to find a solution for motion matching

yet most reviews are saying its not functional

so im asking in case anyone knows if theres some spiritual successor or if i should just stick with some other asset for motion matching

[proven obsidian]

just end it with error dude 😔

[tardy python]

i need some tips of how i can speed up my game. i'm generating possibly thousands of tiles within this grid system. they are all UI objects. whenever i click on one in the hierarchy unity freezes up

[worldly cave]

so its only freezing up your editor?

or does it lag inside of the game view as well

because if you are "creating" a thousand something tiles at runtime then yeah its probably going to be very expensive

creating and destroying gameobjects is very expensive in general

[charred fog]

Updating one UI element refreshes entire subcanvas. UI is not great for this. I'm guessing you're not pooling even those that are not on screen. and all elements are active.

Using actual Tilemap would be more performant. And you can split it on strips as well.

Hello

Is there somewhere I can go to get help with the Creative Core Pathway? I am on the "Post Processing" section, and the file it is asking me to download is for 6.3. I have downloaded and installed 6.3, but when I open this file, it is for a slightly different version of 6.3 and I am getting all kinds of errors. Previously, I was working through this pathway in 6.0 with no problems whatsoever. I cannot find a 6.0 version of the file needed for this tutorial anywhere. Can someone direct me for some help please?

it is pages and pages of this

[slow dirge]

I don't think it's a version problem.
The issue is that you're missing files, and I bet it's because you install it in the users folder.

[hexed bluff]

So I should reinstall Unity 6.3

[slow dirge]

No, it's the path of the project that is the issue.

[hexed bluff]

they are installed here, and really almsot the same folder

[slow dirge]

You shouldn't put your projects in the desktop or anywhere else in the users folder.

The editor is not the issue.

[hexed bluff]

ok so I should move the project itself.

[slow dirge]

Yes

[hexed bluff]

Sorry, I am a very beginning user.

I will try that, thank you. I was not having this issue with any other files for these tutorials.

[pearl oyster]

"Could not find part of the path" usually means that the path is too long. There's a 260 character limit in Windows

[hexed bluff]

ok

[lament barn]

Hi, where do I go to ask HDRP lighting related questions

[pearl oyster]

so put the project somewhere earlier in the file tree and change the name to something shorter

[hexed bluff]

so I made a new folder and will try here.

Thank you.

Is there a better place to ask these sorts of questions in the future?

[proven obsidian]

for some reason, shader compiler stops at certain amount and its for hours. how do i fix it

[safe garden]

is there a reason why when you select a different prefab in the inspector, the prefab updates but the mesh itself doesn't? 🤔 its hit or miss for me

sometimes works sometimes doesn't

referring to this - sometimes will change prefab via button to something else and looks like its updated in inspector, but mesh stays the same

[solid bay]

does anyone know why the camera isn't rotating here?

the delta value works fine

and the script is indeed attached to the camera

[storm patio]

have you tried checking the sens value

[solid bay]

it sets to 1 if theres no default value

which in this case there isnt

[storm patio]

cool, verify that

[solid bay]

i did

this was working perfectly on a different computer

and when i transferred it to this pc it stopped

i havent changed anything in the code

[storm patio]

is it just the camera that isn't rotating?

[solid bay]

yeah

theres also a different issue with ui buttons but thats unrelated

[storm patio]

have you checked that that if is passing

[solid bay]

it is

[native crown]

hwlloq

hello

[storm patio]

and yRotChange seems correct?

[storm patio]

https://nohello.net

[solid bay]

neither of the rotations are working, not just y axis

[native crown]

im new to unity. can someone tell me why the fonts are not generate corectly?

[storm patio]

neither of the rotations of the camera? or is the player rotation also not working

[solid bay]

player rotation also not working

[storm patio]

could you be more specific? what's the issue

[solid bay]

wait a sec

there is one thing that i changed

[storm patio]

bruh #💻┃unity-talk message

[solid bay]

and thats putting the part where it changes the position in lateupdate

but changing transform.position shouldnt have anything to do with rotation right?

[storm patio]

you're using the player's position in this code

so it could be

[solid bay]

the movement is working tho

and the camera is following properly

[storm patio]

that doesn't mean this would work

is it the same code between this device and the other device, both with position in LateUpdate?

[solid bay]

thats the only thing thats different

but im pretty sure it didnt work when it was in update either

the only reason its in lateupdate is to fix jittery camera movement

[storm patio]

check if the final values you're using for the rotation (PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("sens") * mouseDX and yRotChange) are as expected

[solid bay]

ok yeah it seems that sens wasnt set correctly for whatever reason

ok got that fixed

now its a different issue where UI buttons dont work when timescale is set to 0

[storm patio]

that was the first thing i told you to check

[storm patio]

if they animate using scaled time, then yeah the animations won't work with timeScale 0

[solid bay]

it hadn't been defined yet in any code so i assumed it would default to 1

which is what i have written down in the settings manager

[storm patio]

and i told you to verify it...

[solid bay]

.-.

[storm patio]

try to make 0 assumptions when debugging, bugs come up because of those assumptions

you'll get better with time and experience, don't worry

[native crown]

so after I generating a font atlas and saving it, it comes with this block and {} bracket icon. I need it to come with blue F icon.btw Im not good at English do not mind it. i do not know how to explain if farther

[solid bay]

i have an animator on each button set to unscaled time tho

does it necessarily need a controller to work

[storm patio]

make sure you're creating with the tmp font asset creator, not the normal/legacy font asset creator

[storm patio]

the button can have animations within itself, but those use scaled time i think

[native crown]

yep that was the problem. thank you

[solid bay]

the problem is i cant even click the buttons at all

[storm patio]

not sure about that then

try asking #📲┃ui-ux

does URP have built in volumetric clouds like HDRP?

no

urp is lacking in terms of volumetrics in general compared to hdrp

mind you that doesnt mean you cant have volumetric fog and clouds in urp theres just no built in solution iirc

[tame flower]

any1 think when they drop the CoreCLR stuff in unity (Microsoft.Extensions.* stuff mostly) we'll be able to use nuget packages or am I living in a dream
so we could use the DependencyInjection Microsoft provide mayhaps

[unique leaf]

My apologies

[sly lake]

The reason DI doesn’t really function in Unity is that MonoBehaviour and ScriptableObject can’t have constructors.

[tame flower]

makes sense thanks

[sly lake]

Maybe with ECS?

Nope

[tall hearth]

MonoBehaviour and ScriptableObject can’t have constructors.
Til, never knew this but i've also never tried to give them any

[tame flower]

maybe we get mystical sourcegen and attributes with CoreCLR

unless u can do that with mono already

[gusty abyss]

When making a game playable for all platforms how can I test if the game is playable on MacOS if I have a mac build ready but have no one else to test it and I don't have a Mac

[tame flower]

you're gonna have to find a mac

[gusty abyss]

L for me then

[sly lake]

Can’t launch a game on a platform you don’t have

[vivid river]

Virtual Machine, just boot up a MacOS iso

[gusty abyss]

I didn't think apple shipped those

[vivid river]

You can find them online

[hard aspen]

Okay, thank you so much!

[hard aspen]

Cant you use one of those virtual machines that let you use a mac or something on a windows

Or is that for windows only

[gusty abyss]

I don't use Windows

so I wouldn't know

[hard aspen]

What do u use

[gusty abyss]

Linux

[hard aspen]

Im pretty aure virtual machine is available for linux too. Just download it and search up how to use mac on virtual machine

Then just load up ur mac buuld

[vivid river]

You can install VirtualBox host for linux distributions

[gusty abyss]

yes but im on linux

so I won't need it for linux

[vivid river]

Yes, why would you require Windows on linux😆

[gusty abyss]

to broaden the people who can play

if I let the 3 types of major OS's play thats a good thing

[vivid river]

I don't play games that much, but Minecraft and all the stuff I use (games, Unity, etc) is Linux compatible, so I'm good.

[sly lake]

I wouldn’t bother. The odds of this setup emulating an Apple GPU correctly is pretty much 0

Most likely your game will just crash because you don’t have MacOS graphics drivers

[livid lagoon]

Does Unity have a quick duplicate option like in Unreal? In Unreal, you could press Alt + Drag and it would make a duplicated copy automatically.

Basically one step instead of two.

[sly lake]

Ctrl + D

[vivid river]

Ctrl + D

[livid lagoon]

That's two steps still.

[gusty abyss]

Ctrl+D

You can change shortcuts

When I upload a game to Multiplay Hosting in Unity, I get this error:
"Unable to create builds. Multiplay hosting is winding down. Please see the announcements for more information."

Is this because they are going to end the service and hand it over to Rocket Science Group on March 31, 2026?

Also, when they hand it over to Rocket Science Group, according to this message:
"Warning: We are winding down our direct support for the Unity Multiplay Game Server Hosting Service. Unity will support the Multiplay Game Server Hosting Service through March 31, 2026. To ensure continuity for live titles, we are licensing our Multiplay Game Server Hosting software to Rocket Science Group"

After March 31, 2026, how will we run the Game Server Hosting? Will it be through Rocket Science Group, or will we have to go to AWS?

[cyan geode]

Is there another learning tutorials than texts?

im looking for something that offers visiual learning not just with texts or 8 seconds video because it takes forever to load

[hot tundra]

I was curious, are there any guides for implementing a PID, or any other controller in Unity, maybe on a car or drone?

[slow dirge]

Would probably be the same as outside unity.

Hello , i want to create a game who support community server with modding like fivem and gmod : Main language for mod : Lua , Intern networking ( in unity : fish networking ) , with This means the ability to create custom mods on both the server and client sides.

Just suggest some APIs to use for the client and the server, because I'm bound to forget some otherwise, like OnPlayerLeft, OnPlayerJoined

[worldly cave]

pretty sure theres a ton of unity tutorials on their website that are videos (more than 8 seconds)

altough for some reason they all force play at 4k and theres no way to buffer them so if you have bad internet its kinda annoying to watch for some people

[cyan geode]

all what i found so far is text and short vids

[worldly cave]

well the short videos are most likely part of a longer tutorial

[cyan geode]

Yeah no wonder it takes 2 mins to load

[worldly cave]

ig its just how they decided to do it

you can also just use youtube

[cyan geode]

do you recommend smth in youtube?

there are lots of people

[worldly cave]

i couldnt tell you i didnt use youtube i used unitys website

but uh ig whatever has the most views is probably the safest bet?

altough i would avoid stuff like brackeys

oh sebastian lague is really good i know that

he has a lot of great tutorials for getting started with unity

[drowsy salmon]

can anyone help me understand this?

the physics gets called hundreds of times in some frames. Even though there were no stutters before. Why is this? is the profiler bugged?

[cyan geode]

alr will o

[cyan geode]

oo

will chekc him

thx

[vivid cedar]

how many objects with FixedUpdate do you have in your scene?
What is your Fixed Delta Time set to?

[drowsy salmon]

not many
but the fixed update itself is running hundreds of times. not things inside it. which makes no sense.

fixed timestep is 0.02secs

[vivid cedar]

What I'm seeing is 139 FixedUpdate calls

you will get one for each script instance in the scene with FixedUpdate

That doesn't imply 139 physics updates to me

[drowsy salmon]

it does
if u go inside u see the individual hook calls

which are now thousands

in other frames that gets called 1 time as it should

[slow dirge]

Actually, the way it is, I think it does.

[slow dirge]

What do you have your physics/fixed timestep set to?
