[solid bay]

what would be the best way to do that check

[violet thunder]

@split egret You can always swap the capsule to a meshcollider and assign the unity default cylinder mesh to it though

[plain dagger]

check above

[split egret]

a cylinder is just a radius and a height so I thought that might be easier mathematically than a capsule, tho idk what the calculation is for a capsule

[storm patio]

yes, you don't need to have it in some other scene to begin with
with DDOL - you need to have singletons in every scene if you want to test starting from that scene, this creates complications when changing scenes
with an additive scene, you can just add that scene to any other in the editor

[solid bay]

would i have to make a script with that and put it on every single parent item within the scene?

[violet thunder]

A cylinder also has hard edges unlike a capsule. Solving collisions/normals is a lot more complex

[plain dagger]

learn more here: https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons
What i wrote is an example of the logic needed.

[violet thunder]

A capsule is basically a line with an evenly distributed radius

[gray frigate]

yeah, this kind of thing is very annoying

[solid bay]

so would it be better to additive load the gameplay scene but normal load the title scene?

[split egret]

oh... I didn't think about that xD

[storm patio]

if you're working with additive scenes, you load everything additively and unload stuff manually

[violet thunder]

@split egret For example, to check if a point is inside a capsule, you'd jsut check the distance from the point to the closest point between the capsule's start and end points. Very simple math

Under the hood i mean

[storm patio]

you would have singletons scene loaded always, and load/unload specific scenes as needed (title scene, level scenes, etc)

[solid bay]

singletons scene as in the scene that has my current ddol objects?

[storm patio]

by "between", you mean like physically between rather than "between the choice of X or Y", right?

[violet thunder]

Physically between

[storm patio]

no, you would create a new scene basically replacing DDOL

[split egret]

that's so smart

I loves capsules now

[storm patio]

the stuff that's DDOL would be separated into their own scene

[gray frigate]

you'd additively load this scene as the game starts up

[violet thunder]

Long boi spheres

[solid bay]

so basically the same thing with the benefit of being able to reference the scene via the built in stuff in unity?

[storm patio]

no, that was never the goal

you get to manage the lifetime of singletons easily, and from there, accessing singletons is more reliable/easier for testing individual scenes in the editor

[plain dagger]

The point is to avoid needing to handle the issue of the same object + script being made again when a scene is loaded again in future

DDOL just moves that copy to that other scene
if you unload and reload the scene then everything is re made thus producing a duplicate

[worldly cave]

capsules always have at least 1 point touching the ground rather than a whole face like a cylinder

so that helps with something

[solid bay]

ok so what youre saying is put all the objects that i have as DDOL rn into a separate scene, and have both that and the title loaded in at the same time, while changing the overall mode to additive?

[violet thunder]

Also a good point

That's a lot of triangles

[worldly cave]

oh yeah idk why i assumed unity would do ngons lol

not even just 1 face

[plain dagger]

let me tell you a secret, its all triangles!

[storm patio]

that's my suggestion, yes

[solid bay]

how do i handle going back to my title screen then

since i need to unload the gameplay

[worldly cave]

i know 😔

sometimes i hate creating perfect quad topology in blender knowing its pretty pointless when imported into unity

its only ever useful when youre actually modeling

[violet thunder]

I wonder why Unity went with fan-triangulation instead of some other form (which would save 1 vertex and have less pinching triangles)

[plain dagger]

3d software is kind and lets you use faces of varing sizes but its still rendered with triangles

[violet thunder]

Maybe for better symmetry

[worldly cave]

yeah its easier to work with quads

[worldly cave]

honestly ive only ever seen the left one

[split egret]

[worldly cave]

"poked face" or something

[storm patio]

thinking about this mathematically - isn't it easier to check whether a point is in a cylinder? maybe i'm missing some shortcut.
for a capsule:

• project point onto axis
• clamp to capsule bounds
• get distance from point to projected point, check against radius
  for a cylinder:
• project point onto axis
• if outside axis bounds, discard
• get distance from point to projected point, check against radius
  seems like that clamping step would be significantly more work to me. or is it not significant enough to outweigh other benefits?

[storm patio]

yes, you unload the gameplay and load the title screen

[worldly cave]

anyhow this could be a #🔀┃art-asset-workflow question but im not too sure, is that like fake depth trick very heavy on performance? the one where you use a scene depth node and subtract it with a screen position node 🤔

im trying to create this volume effect i made in blender through the shader graph, so i gotta know

[worldly cave]

ive only ever seen it used to simulate like water depth or something so im not too sure how it would work multiplied 30x

[violet thunder]

Yeah I realized that point-in-shape check isn't a great example, it was just easiest to explain 😅
A better example would be anything that would need normals

[storm patio]

oh with dealing with the faces of the cylinder?

[violet thunder]

Yeah, not sure how efficient that can be made mathematically

[storm patio]

makes sense

i guess since a capsule can be thought of as an extended sphere, it comes with a few benefits of spheres

[plucky gull]

hi everyone i am new to coding and design i have recently started to use unity to atempt my 1st project for a mobile game however i am not sure if i am able to use the assets in unity freely or if there are copyrights that i need to be aware of if anyone could me just assist me please

[violet thunder]

Indeed

[solid bay]

what do i do with the camera situation

[violet thunder]

Apparently Havok and Bullet both have some sort of Cylinder collider

[storm patio]

i have no clue what you mean by the camera situation

[storm patio]

assets come with licenses that specify what you can and cannot do with them

[solid bay]

i have a camera in both the intro and gameplay scenes and if im loading additively that makes multiple cameras

or should i put a camera in the third scene

[storm patio]

well you can deal with that or put the camera in the singletons scene, depends on how you're controlling the camera, depends on what the cameras might not have in common, etc

[plucky gull]

@storm patio ok il go back into unity and just double check them thank you

[solid bay]

the camera in the title scene is just for viewing the UI but the other one does reference the player object

[worldly cave]

i highly doubt you can see them inside of unity?

assets typically let you know their license when you download/purchase them

[plucky gull]

i dont know where to check thats why i am asking for a lil help

[worldly cave]

where did you get the assets from?

[plucky gull]

oh

i didnt notice it

i got some assets from unity free and purchased 2 others

[storm patio]

if you bought them from the asset store, licensing info will be available on the asset store page

[worldly cave]

well if you bought assets on the asset store theres a 99% chance you have a commercial license for them but you should still check

and as for the free assets if they are unity's own then yeah you should be able to use them

but just because an asset is free does not mean it has a free commercial license

[plucky gull]

can i ask where i can also find assets if possible to use freely that wont have any copyrights etc id like to avoid any issues once i finnish up my project

[worldly cave]

can you clarify what you mean by "assets"

because "asset" is a very vague umbrella term

[storm patio]

that wont have any copyrights
this is not how copyright works

everything you create has copyright, unless you died a long time ago, or it's so simple as to not really be your creation

you need to check the licensing to see if you can legally use stuff

[balmy palm]

Is there a way to reduce near clipping for the camera in the inspector? mine is quite wide and it's hard to get a close look on objects

[storm patio]

the most open licensing is CC0, dedicating a work to the public domain. you can use something licensed CC0 as if it were your own work
the most restrictive license is no license - you have no permission to use that work at all

every other license is somewhere in between, having different restrictions (eg personal use, commercial use, etc) and requirements (eg requiring credits, no modification, etc)

[plucky gull]

so this is what ive taken free and used and some i purchased Animations
Characters Environments Props
Vegetation
Vehicles

[plucky gull]

oh okay now i get it

well explained thanks chris

[worldly cave]

well for stuff like characters, enviroments and props you can use sites like sketchfab to find free assets with a commercial license

you can use the sites filters

by vehicles if you mean models of cars then same thing

just note that does not mean your game can contain trademarked brands of cars

[plucky gull]

yea no ive used no trade mark stuff at all im doing like the most basic bad graphics game just to get use to unity etc and understand it better no crazy advanced type of stuff

so its like just a practice project

[storm patio]

i mean, if you aren't going to publish it, you can just use any assets you find, tbh. most will allow personal use, and the ones that don't, well.. no-one's going to come after you if you don't publish it

you have to start worrying about the law when you publish stuff, especially in a commercial capacity

i used minecraft assets in a gamejam and i had to replace them all because the gamejam has monetary prizes, and being conservative, that probably falls under commercial use

[plucky gull]

is there maybe a info site i can go read up on these things if you might know of 1

[worldly cave]

https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/an-introduction-to-creative-commons-licenses/

[storm patio]

but if i was just making a project to practice, i could use all the minecraft assets i wanted, since

• i wouldn't be gaining anything from the inclusion of microsoft's property
• people wouldn't be seeing it, especially microsoft
• i wouldn't have any money to give microsoft even if they sued me

[worldly cave]

also even if you decided to publish it so long as you replace all "incompatible" assets youre in the clear

[violet thunder]

In the scene view*, not inspector
Look for a camera button, it opens a popup with scene view camera settings

[safe garden]

is there a reason why normals on a mesh become corrupted in unity? This was working before but seems in engine they have been softened now giving a weird gradient. Is there a way to fix this on a mesh in engine?

I can export it fix it in Blender and bring it back into engine but just wondering why it happened while working, if something was enabled in engine, etc

[violet thunder]

@balmy palm You can also select an object and click F (with your cursor on scene view) to focus on it, it should adjust the clipping planes accordingly

[plucky gull]

thanks you appreciate the info both of you have been a big help for now il focus on my skill and do some research as time passes on the stuff to avoid

[balmy palm]

Thanks alot!

[plain dagger]

If you change the model import settings for unity to calculate normals instead, does the issue go away?
If yes then its the exported normals

[balmy palm]

It changes zoom. I’m guessing this is a quick way of fixing it.

[violet thunder]

It changes a couple of things yeah. It's a toggle too so you can press F again

[solid bay]

how do i wait until a scene is loaded to set it as active?

my code is giving me an error that a scene isn't loaded but i have a setactive statement after a statement to load that specific scene

[plain dagger]

if you load it async you need to await the load (async/coroutine/callback)

the docs should have examples

[storm patio]

if you use the synchronous method, it blocks, you can set it immediately
if you use the asynchronous method, check if it's done via its AsyncOperation, then set it

[storm patio]

if you have existing code and an error, it would help to show them

[balmy kettle]

have you read the docs for the LoadScene method?

[storm patio]

ooh, i'm wrong

[solid bay]

not really, it was working before but i switched to the singleton + additive scenes to fix some issues and that broke this

[storm patio]

you should read docs

[balmy kettle]

hint: read the docs for the LoadScene method 😉

[solid bay]

i tried to do a fix and i think i broke unity

[storm patio]

right, that's not how you do it

that is an infinite loop

if you want to wait between parts of a method, you need a coroutine or similar

[plain dagger]

📖 the unity docs have great examples, please do actually go read them for these scene load functions

[solid bay]

i tried the one in loadsceneasync which said that it would fix potential lag but im getting the same error

[storm patio]

you have to use them correctly for them to work correctly

[solid bay]

ive never used this type of thing before

how DO i use it correctly

[storm patio]

your scoping is wrong there

[storm patio]

the unity docs give examples, don't they?

[plain dagger]

reading hard i guess

[solid bay]

all this one gives is this

[storm patio]

setting the active scene here does not wait for the coroutine. as mentioned before, you have to use coroutines for stuff to wait

[storm patio]

and this shows the fix for one of the issues (though there's an issue before that, so it's not manifesting - and it's an issue that won't always manifest)

[solid bay]

this is the first time im using coroutines in ANY coding project so i have no idea how they work

[storm patio]

alright, take a break from the current task at hand to go learn coroutines

[solid bay]

not sure thats much of an option as this is a project due today

this is among the last issues i need to fix

[storm patio]

you changed a core system on a project with a tight deadline?

[plain dagger]

i smell uni assignment

[strange moon]

Due today? Is this a school project?

[solid bay]

yeah

[solid bay]

it was one of those things where one problem that should have been easy to fix spawned another one

and it was like a chain

[strange moon]

Answer is 42 though

[storm patio]

refactoring does take time, which is why i mentioned this lmao #💻┃unity-talk message

[storm patio]

easy to bandaid fix sure, but my suggestion was refactoring an entire system

[solid bay]

main point is, is there some kind of statement that i can use to wait in the method while that completes

[strange moon]

Interested in what school would make you do unity projects

[solid bay]

otherwise a different object spawns stuff in the wrong scene

[solid bay]

game dev class

[storm patio]

you need to use coroutines (or similar) to wait in the middle of a method, as ive said before. yield statements mark where to wait, and the value yielded specify how long to wait

[worldly cave]

i think ive seen like 30 people here in the past week all with "unity assignments"

and like 29 of them started doing them a day or 2 before the deadline

[solid bay]

how do i determine what yield value will work

is it literally just trial and error

[strange moon]

The question is if this is a hello world unity app or using existing app to build upon?

[storm patio]

you generally read docs to see what's available

LoadSceneAsync gives an AsyncOperation that you can yield

other common options include: null (waits one frame), WaitForSeconds, WaitForSecondsRealtime, WaitUntil, WaitWhile

[solid bay]

so do i do like yield return waituntil(sceneloader.isdone)?

instead of the while loop

[storm patio]

just yield the asyncoperation

[solid bay]

isnt that what was already happening tho?

[storm patio]

you aren't waiting for the loading to complete before you set the scene as the active scene

you're waiting already, yes

you aren't doing anything after you wait

the stuff after StartCoroutine does not wait

[solid bay]

so i should set the active thing in the coroutine

[storm patio]

and everything else

[solid bay]

there we go now stuffs working

thanks so much for the help

[steel sun]

I just started with unity, my canvas disappeared after I moved around the scene, does someone know why and how to fix it? like the canvas is still there but I cant see it on the scene

[worldly cave]

What happens if you press f inside the sceen view with the canvas selected?

[steel sun]

it zooms in but I dont see anything

I only slightly panned around too so I don't know how I could've moved it away from the view

[worldly cave]

i mean its an empty canvas no? what are you supposed to be seeing?

what happens if you add like a text child or something to it

[steel sun]

I saw something that looked like a hollow rectangle before

[worldly cave]

👆

[steel sun]

how do I do that 😭 sry I just started unity so I'm not really sure how a lot of it works

[worldly cave]

right click your canvas and add a ui element

such as text

and see if it shows up

[steel sun]

so I see the text but no rectangle around it

[storm patio]

are gizmos enabled

this button in the top right of the scene view

oh wait it's laid out differently

[steel sun]

I opened up the game img and it looks like the whole scene is the canvas? is that how it's supposed to be

[storm patio]

mmmm some icons seem to be different in unity 6 as well. im not sure which button it is, i only have 2022 installed

[storm patio]

it's because you focused it before

(that's what pressing F does)

[steel sun]

I see...

I should probably look up a tutorial for unity then and learn it properly

[elder patrol]

can some one help me pls i am making a unity project a gorilla tag fan game for vr an i tried to buid it but it didnt work the first time when i tried it worked with this error You are making an Android IL2CPP build, but it does not have native 64-bit support.
It is recommended to enable ARM64 in Player Settings: Target Architecture in to natively support 64-bit devices.

and now when i ty to build it it says this Build completed with a result of 'Failed' in 1 seconds (1200 ms)

have you tried doing the thing that the error recommends

[storm patio]

check out unity essentials in unity learn for that

[solid bay]

im trying to build my project but i keep getting this error, what does it mean

google isnt much help

[stuck flower]

You cannot use anything in the UnityEditor namespace in any file included in your build

[storm patio]

why are you using shadergraph in a camera script anyways

[solid bay]

idk why it was there

i dont think i had anything referencing it

mightve been from an old version where something else was going on in there

[storm patio]

if you need to use it for some editor stuff, you need to add some directives to make the code only exist in the editor

[solid bay]

ok for some reason the built version is broken

everything works fine in the editor but the build version just cannot load the scenes properly

[storm patio]

perhaps check what your initial scene is

and that all your scenes are added to the build, not sure if you can load scenes by name if they aren't

[solid bay]

thats just the ones that are loaded in the editor right?

[storm patio]

no, it's the one with build index 0 in your build settings

[solid bay]

how do i check and/or change that

[storm patio]

open your build settings and see which scene is at the top of the list

it's the menu you pressed "build" from

[solid bay]

ok yeah for some reason not a single scene was added to that

[serene atlas]

anyoine think they can help me out with this issue? my faces look like they got good normals in blender, but in unity some dont render? I did merge by distanace too and that didnt work

[worldly cave]

that straight up looks like you are missing those faces

try going to edit mode

and then select all by trait

and select non manifold, lose geometry and see if any of those faces pop up

also always apply all transforms before exporting

[lapis gate]

where's the comparison to unity normals

the left is unity?

Both look similar to me

[serene atlas]

ill try that out rq

[serene atlas]

left is unity right is blender

[serene atlas]

is the select non manifold thing an addon because i cant find it

[worldly cave]

No

Go into edit more, deselect all faces

Go to select > select by trait

[glacial meadow]

can anyone help, im trying to follow a tutorial to add an animation but it looks really jittery for some reason
ive tested it outside unity and it shouldnt look like that, and its moving parts of the animation it shouldnt be (like the blue glow at the bottom)

[serene atlas]

when i select by non manifold the faces dont show up

[worldly cave]

Thats a good sign

Try the other traits

Loose geometry and all that

[serene atlas]

it dont select them

does Unity 6000.2.14f1 support word space rendering ?

[slow dirge]

Depends on what you mean by that. Sounds just like regular rendering to me..?

[robust spire]

all i wanted to do is set Label Text above dragon which is questionText and four options buttons above player

[slow dirge]

So rendering UI in world space? Sure, that was possible even before 6.2.

Just use a world space canvas

[robust spire]

so UI Toolkit is not necessary for certain task ?

[slow dirge]

No. Canvas UI is still supported(and is gonna be supported for a long time). And I think you can mix the two as well.

That being said, UI toolkit seems to have world space rendering as well now:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/ui-systems/create-world-space-ui.html

[robust spire]

i heard it is experimental

[slow dirge]

Doesn't seem so.

well i'm gonna try UI toolkit and then word space canvas

[molten kernel]

Anyone used Antigravity with Unity? I gave it a try but without the C# and Unity extensions it was pretty bad, I tried to manually install them from teh VSC marketplace but they won't run

[slow dirge]

Yeah. Many extensions wouldn't work with vs code forks, which antigravity is.
And to be honest I didn't find that much better than open Ai codex.

If at all

[molten kernel]

Yep, MS blocks forks which sucks

Antigravity is really good at non-coding tasks at least!

[slow dirge]

I don't know. I found its planning features being a bit naive in gamedev context.

[molten kernel]

Without being able to test any agent is limited. Definitely more geared towards web dev since it has chrome integration

[trim verge]

Hey folks, how’s everything going?
i m a programmer coming from the otserver community, and i d like to know what you all think about whether it s worth investing time in Unity if i m aiming for job opportunities

[lapis gate]

Any game engine, do your research on where you want to sell

[sweet charm]

There are definitely Unity-related jobs. But depends on what u want to do

[molten kernel]

I've worked with Unity professionally and know a dozen companies nearby me who use it. None in game dev by the way. If you are just looking for job obs then react or angular will probably open more doors

[lapis gate]

Whatcha been using it for? I've seen a bunch of military contractors taking a liking to it lately

[molten kernel]

Industrial simulation, some overlap with military contracts, I know a few military contractors using it - eg the new nuclear submarines in Australia.

[lapis gate]

Sounds interesting

Real life factorio

[molten kernel]

Unity is really popular in industrial simulation, some people use Unreal eg the US army corp of engineers, but I think Unity dominates industrial simulation

In my experience they are all small teams though, so for jobs the volume of jobs is probably insiginfiicant compared to games dev companies that might have dozens or hundreds of devs

[lapis gate]

Same could be said for Unity game dev. Lot of studios are made up of very few people, but there's a few that do have some sizable teams. Still, I'd try my luck with Unreal for that AA/AAA experience

But with the current climate I estimate AAA studios to die out soon considering how a few ex-ubisoft devs kinda annihilated this years game awards and sales.

[molten kernel]

Well, if I was purely looking for dev jobs and didn't care, then game devs are 20% of jobs while web dev is 60%. Just by odds learning JS will get you further.

[lapis gate]

Oh yeah totally. But web dev is bore ;p

[molten kernel]

Trying to figure out why it looks fine in 3 browsers but not on 4 others is hell 😅

[copper gust]

hook me up with a australian submarine job surely

[molten kernel]

I'm not involved but ASC has been recruiting for Unity devs for their simulators at HMAS Stirling

They are the prime and they are handling the simulation inhouse unlike the landing craft program

[copper gust]

neat

[sweet charm]

So they are building their own dev team? Most I've seen are outsources

[molten kernel]

Yep, they have already hired a bunch, might still be looking for more. Usually most primes outsource simulation as far as I know, since it's kind of specialist, but perhaps because it's so long term they don't want to split their profit with a sub prime

[stoic cypress]

the top of the texture is transparent but on unity it comes out black how do i gix that

[lapis gate]

Import options -> Black is Alpha

[stoic cypress]

wheres that

[lapis gate]

Click the texture

[stoic cypress]

i dont see that option

[lapis gate]

Actually change Gray Scale to the input texture

[stoic cypress]

that didn't do anything

[lapis gate]

Ok wait, you're probably using some opaque texture but you're wanting to use a transparent texture. But, ideally you do want alpha cut instead I would expect

On the material click alpha clip

try that, assuming you've actually have those alpha values

[long marsh]

very beneficial if you do but it can still process, run and do everything you need perfectly

if you can you should

[crude robin]

Alr thank you bro

[craggy pollen]

600w with that gpu could be too less

SSD with a minimum of 500 GB and PSU with a minimum of 700 Watt would be my recommendation

[sweet charm]

500GB is a luxury these days

Reporting bugs

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

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

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

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

Alr thanks bro

[sly lake]

600 watt is plenty for that GPU

Nvidia recommends 550, and that already includes quite a bit of overhead.

[plain dagger]

id get a later generation gpu if possible (nvidia or amd)

[sly lake]

It's not the fastest but the Ampère featureset will remain relevant for quite some time. You get ray tracing, bindless, etc. Only thing you really miss for development is the VRAM. 6 gigs isn't great.

[potent geyser]

What's the actual error in Unity?

[crude robin]

Yes

And blender

[teal oasis]

uhh something ilike this i think, didn't screenshotted and over wrote it since
"Could not open filepath: There was an error loading the scene"

[teal oasis]

should be fins in specs imo, i got 16gb of ram too, got 1tb of disk, but should be fine

[teal oasis]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/unknown-error-occured-while-loading-scene/891779 this topics is the type of error i got

[potent geyser]

If it's what they're saying, then it seems that without VC, you're going to be remaking it.

[polar basalt]

not enough storage imo, i had a bad time with having 256GB storage

idk about the cpu but thats a important thing so remember that

[teal oasis]

i didn't make much, but still pain, wonder how it happend

[polar basalt]

i see this thing normally if you try to move something from a hidden folder like AppData/LocalLow/Company/Game or open something from there, maybe you made the build there or smth?

[potent geyser]

Closing or crashing while it was saving I suppose

[idle current]

I made the build on the other disc but even when I move folder with build into a folder that is in the same folder as build than it also appears

also like a week ago there wasnt any warning

[polar basalt]

where is the build folder?

like, the location

is it just an empty drive

[idle current]

yes

[polar basalt]

or is it like a system drive

[idle current]

empty drive

[polar basalt]

shouldnt have any issues thats weird

[idle current]

ikr

[polar basalt]

if you put smth there like any other game do you see that warning?

[topaz crown]

Does anyone know why my editor is blurry but the game rendering isn't, and how I could remove the blur?

[idle current]

wait let me check

[idle current]

other game also does that

[polar basalt]

yeah its not a unity issue then thats weird

what OS do you have?

[idle current]

it feels like there was some update with windows defender and it just flags unity games

[idle current]

windows 10

but extended version

[polar basalt]

nono im saying try put a real game there not unity made

[idle current]

oh ok

give me a sec

Im playing cs2 rn xD

[crude robin]

Im upgrading it to 500gb

[idle current]

I pasted btd6 and there is no warning

so its only unity problem

but I guess it shoudn't be a big deal if the warning is only for me

[brisk anvil]

trying to build a water cave,
so far it comes out really ugly, I would really love suggestions on how to make this look better

looks better without all the details too

[idle current]

I would add stalagmites and some rocks

it would make the cave feel less empty

[brisk anvil]

nice good idea

[teal oasis]

any idea to what can cause this wierd line (my file is fine)

[brisk anvil]

what are we looking at

this looks like a 6 faces skybox where only half of the faces has a texture

[teal oasis]

its an HDRI panorame file i got

[gusty abyss]

Oh boy my whole project disappeared is this safe mode’s fault?

[teal oasis]

you sure you openned the right project ?

[balmy kettle]

you just don't have a scene open

[mint lake]

yes, your scene is just a temporary scene, you need to Open SampleScene

[gusty abyss]

I made a bunch of a objects

[mint lake]

open sample scene

[balmy kettle]

congrats. open your scene. you have literally no scene open right now, hence why you see nothing in the scene

[mint lake]

lol

[gusty abyss]

Oh I’m new lol

Sorry

[mint lake]

np

[sly lake]

Hi new

[mint lake]

i was upset at unity 6.3, now i have something to smile at XD

[balmy kettle]

!learn 👇 start by learning how to use the editor then. the unity essentials pathway covers incredibly basic stuff like that

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[gusty abyss]

I just panicked bc I had to change to both input system bc there’s no tutorials on the new one

[mint lake]

6.3 is really being stupid

it's performance issues are dumb,

[mint lake]

lol

there are many tutorials bro

but you prolly need a sample

[gusty abyss]

The one I found on YouTube just told me to change it to the old one lol

[mint lake]

get the starter assets package from the asset store, it uses new input system and is pretty well done

[mint lake]

lol

unity did a series on the input system

[gusty abyss]

I’ll read that when I get tired of these tutorials then

[mint lake]

lol

in case, https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX2vGYjWbI0RpLvO3B7aH-ObfcOifMD20&si=kEgJeQ0OifNcMNpa

this is the input system series, and i think it's pretty neat

[gusty abyss]

Oh it was from 8 months ago so I thought it might not be up to date

Thanks

[mint lake]

no it should be up to date, nothing much has changed really,

i mean the basics will be the same, and once you know that you prolly won't need tutorials, you will need the doc

although i am saying basics, 90% should be the same, and the playlist covers almost about everything needed, not sure if it covers local multiplayer

[frosty tapir]

i can move this to #💻┃code-beginner if its better suited there

[plain dagger]

do that or open a thread in #1390346827005431951

[frosty tapir]

okay

[thin holly]

Hellooooooo. For some reason my Player Input component for my main player character keeps disabling itself in the editor. I have no idea why, but this only started recently. Anyone have any suggestions or reasons why this might be happening?

[storm patio]

presumably something is disabling it

[thin holly]

Yeah, I just don't know how it could disable it in the editor

I have to reenable it manually to fix the issue

code can run in the editor, yes

[brave moth]

i have learned it but not understood

do you have any game to start in unity?

[storm patio]

flappy bird, snake, doodle jump, pong, breakout, minesweeper, etc

[plain dagger]

huh? you open unity hub and select/make a project to open

[ripe sphinx]

i'm having a bit of issue trying to optimize my unity app.

[severe cloak]

Hello guys. I’m new to Unity. Look forward to being part of the community. 😊

[ripe sphinx]

the machine reads in data it gets via bluetooth and then serializes it

the app seems to slow down during this section

working with the profiler it looks like there's a lot of gc allocations in this function

[pearl oyster]

You'll have to show the function and preferably the profiler results if you want someone to help with it. #1390346827005431951

[ripe sphinx]

i have a forum thread!

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1451661104433332284

[proven obsidian]

how i can fix the table collision, so items could be under it

[mild radish]

use multiple colliders

[proven obsidian]

it is fine if theres multiple tables in the same place?

[mild radish]

make it a prefab..

and reuse it

[proven obsidian]

i will make it as prefab

[mild radish]

colliders can overlap.. as long as they each dont have a rigidbody..

if its a rigidbody.. u can put it on the root object (the main object) and have each box collider or w/e u chose to use as children

they'll act as a composite collider and all be connected basically

[proven obsidian]

oh ok

thanks

it worked

thanks again

[proper rain]

hey guys

[ripe sphinx]

is there a standard practice around taking the output of a unity build and bundling the folder into a single exe?

[halcyon shale]

i made a 2d player locomotion and put it on itch, where i can i promote it?

[storm patio]

this server isn't really for advertisements, you can use #1180170818983051344 for dev logs or #🏆┃daily-win to share the achievement though

[halcyon shale]

do you know any servers i can?

[storm patio]

do you not get an exe when building for windows?

[storm patio]

most servers don't allow advertisements, it usually ends up being a writeonly space

[gusty abyss]

Guys Im making some random movement system and I only want fishes to move in water so I made something like this.

Vector3 position = transform.position + transform.forward * RandomNum.RandomFloat(-1F, 1F) + transform.right * RandomNum.RandomFloat(-1F, 1F);

  bool withinWater = Physics.CheckSphere(
      position,
      obstacleCheckRadius,
      waterMask
  );

It works for the most part but randomly it breaks and infinitely checks, never being able to find water even if some of the positions are valid.

I dont know if its due to checksphere or something

[storm patio]

perhaps do some debugging to see if the positions are where you expect

[ripe sphinx]

i do but the exe is in a folder with a bunch of dlls and subfolders

[gusty abyss]

I have like a visual debug thing and they are, that's why i'm very confused.

It may happen that it is one of those what i'd say are valid positions but keeps returning false on withinWater

[storm patio]

make sure your waterMask is correct and the objects in question do have the right layer, i guess

(also just as a sanity check - make sure you're debugging the right positions/radii as well)

[gusty abyss]

It sometimes does return true tho, sometimes false but when it returns false sometimes this stuff happens where it breaks.

[gusty abyss]

what do you mean by radii?

[storm patio]

radii is the plural of radius

[gusty abyss]

ohh

[storm patio]

kinda my bad on using that, it's.. not really commonly used lol

[gusty abyss]

its alr but I just draw this and it should be a 1:1 replica of where the checksphere is
Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(pos, obstacleCheckRadius);

[gusty abyss]

pos being the position set here

[gusty abyss]

here's a semi decent screenshot, it is literally touching the green collider outline (small red circle) and it returns false that frame.

[astral solar]

[flat breach]

hello, what's the difference between the levels of Project settings<Quality and the default render pipeline in the Project settings<Graphics

[balmy palm]

Could someone help me? i was trying to mess around with my shaders in unity until suddently my shader became bright cyan and now i cant fix it. i've checked every shading setting and it's not doing anything

[storm patio]

iirc that's basically highlighting with some menu option. not sure which though

oh actually, going through some message history, seems like it's compiling?

[gray frigate]

cyan means that it's currently compiling, yes

what does "mess around with my shaders" mean?

[violet thunder]

Do you see a "Shader Compilation" or similiar progress bar in the bottom right?

[balmy palm]

Basically the graphics setting and environmental lighting setting are those

that i have touched

[violet thunder]

Or anywhere

[gray frigate]

show us what you actually changed

[balmy palm]

nah it's a form of tint

[flat breach]

you guys are five to help someone but can't help me with a simpler question ...

[storm patio]

what was your question

after a while it just kinda gets lost

[flat breach]

hello, what's the difference between the levels of Project settings<Quality and the default render pipeline in the Project settings<Graphics

[balmy palm]

oh my god it fixed itself, but only went i clicked "Reset"

[flat breach]

you're right...

[gray frigate]

oh, so you changed your post-processing settings

[storm patio]

i didn't answer that because i don't know and i don't have the background knowledge to be confident in any answer i find online

[flat breach]

I'm trying to learn all the graphics settings within HDRP and I'm kinda lost because there is the default render pipeline asset, the level quality asset and also the same fields in the Camera component

[balmy palm]

Ah, is that what it is called.

[storm patio]

now that i mention it, it does sound like something that mightve been asked before, have you tried googling?

[flat breach]

ohh okay my bad man, sorry

[flat breach]

I Did but couldn't find an appropriate answer, I'll try again on reddit

[gray frigate]

Every Quality level can have an SRP asset

If you don't specify one, Unity checks if you provided a default SRP asset

[flat breach]

ohhh so if I assign one in the levels, then everything done in the default won't change anything? Okay thank you so much it makes sense now

[gray frigate]

Yeah, if every quality level has an asset assigned, the default asset should never matter

[flat breach]

and do you know with the Camera component too please, if I assign let's say a Quality level asset and I set the lit shader mode to forward and then enable anti aliasing, do I need to do it with the Camera too?

[flat breach]

my thought was it initially takes the quality level asset references and overrides it and I can change it if I want different effects on diffferent cameras but my fields were different

so I don't know whether I should change the references on the Camera component too or just let it like this and do everything in the quality asset, if I have to change, why would be the SRP Asset be needed?

[gray frigate]

I'm not aware of a way to assign a quality asset to a specific camera. Are you takling about the Frame Settings Overrides section?

[flat breach]

I'm talking about the rendering section on the Camera component

not assigning but there's the anti aliasing and such things that are also present in the quality asset

[gray frigate]

I don't believe you can select an anti-aliasing mode in the quality asset.

Frame Settings are also included in the quality asset.

If the camera has a frame setting override, it will ignore whatever the quality asset asks for

[flat breach]

you can enable or disable it

ohhh okayy I get it, the SRP just is for the modes and ways to render it

and I can decide whether to use it or not with the Camera

[gray frigate]

The SRP asset (which each quality level uses) decides which features exist at all

check out the Rendering Debugger (Window > Analysis > Rendering Debugger)

notably, in the Camera section, it can show you which frame settings are actually supported by the current HDPR asset

for example, I have enabled Water support in my HDRP assets, but I don't currently use it on this camera

(I should probably just disable that – I stopped using it!)

no need to possibly include a bunch of extra shaders

[flat breach]

ohhh okay, thank you so much man for your help, I didn't know about all of these

[gray frigate]

I found it really confusing at first

i'd just turn things on in the default asset as well

[flat breach]

fr lol

[gray frigate]

I'm unsure why there is even a default asset, really

If you can't read that, nobody will make the effort to help of you won't be able to even read their messages.

That doesn't help me

It just says restart my pc and check a dif websire

[lusty dome]

Sorry to break the flow here, but I had a question of my own. The Input channel is pretty dead so figured I would try here.

For some reason I'm not able to assign an Input Action Reference to a ScriptableObject asset. Any idea what the reason could be?
It shows the available options, but when I select one the field remains empty

[potent geyser]

Ok so you didn't read it. I'll summarize it for you:

Ask an actual question people can answer.

[unique light]

Like rn?

Ion wana get banned

My unity editor application is just stuck on 99 and we build support is. Too

Do u know what to do

And yes I've read logs.

And yes. I've deleted and re installer

D'

I even factory reseted my pc

Anyone know what to do?

Hello

Anyone please

Uh oh

Kuzmo I'm sorry

[worldly cave]

what

who are you

[lusty dome]

I feel like you are just trolling at this point man

[unique light]

Everytime I gotta question u pack me up

[worldly cave]

huh?

i have never seen you before in my life

[unique light]

I swear to god I'm not I'm just tying to get a degree in programing

But I can't start when unity doesn't woek

Work

[worldly cave]

oh nvm i remember you

[unique light]

I really wana start like u guys

[worldly cave]

you were the person with the logs

[unique light]

Yea I'm sorry

For being stupid

I'm really tying here man

I even factory reset my pc

[worldly cave]

if people had to apologize for being stupid this whole server would be a non stop spam of apologies.

Anyways we cant really help you any more than we actually did

[unique light]

Oh ok

[worldly cave]

and you really didnt have to factory reset your pc

[unique light]

I know

[worldly cave]

i feel like that is a step way too drastic

[unique light]

I was just stuck

But it still didn't work

Like why is it me

Like rn I'm just staring at unity editor 99 we support 99

For like 20 mins

Web support

[quaint delta]

i hate semicolon :/

[tawny quail]

Try double-clicking the option, or pressing enter when selected to see if that changes anything. I've noticed that sometimes when clicking something, it randomly doesn't "assign" it, or if you double click it too fast after opening the popup it doesn't realize what you did.

[lusty dome]

thanks for the suggestion. Just tried, but got the same result

I am beginning to question if you simply arent allowed to assign input action reference to scriptable objects

[unique light]

So no one know what to do?

[lusty dome]

I can assign just fine on a monobehavior on a gameobject in the scene view

[tawny quail]

Does dragging it from the asset assign it? (foldout of the action map asset in the project window, or just from the gui of the input actions itself iirc)

[dusky forum]

You need to ask your question.

[lusty dome]

yeah tried that along with everything else I can think of and it still refuses

Unity 6.3 btw

idk if this is a bug or simply weird intended behavior

[unique light]

My unity stuck on 99% I asked if u scroll. Up mb

Just full stuck

I tried using. !ask

I even factory reset my pc

[tawny quail]

I think it is a bug actually. I know this worked in 2022

Just tested in 6.3 and yeah it doesn't assign it

[mild radish]

when u get around to re-trying the install.. try doing just the editor... u can add all the modules and stuff later.. and Documentation is always avail online.. unless u need it for offline reading

[dusky forum]

So.. it seems to be stuck at after downloading. You would likely need to go through the install process with some windows prompt that should have popped up

[unique light]

So what should I do cancel this download

[mild radish]

i would personally

[unique light]

OK then just the editor

[mild radish]

yup..

isolate the problem..

imo it works for some people just 1 download. and 1 install to contend w/

better chances to go thu.. and watch out for any firewall or windows UAC window that pops up asking permission..

like dalphat mentiond

[unique light]

Yea one did when I was downloading unity hub

And I pressed yes

[mild radish]

👍

[unique light]

To make changes

[mild radish]

it mighta just hung up

[lusty dome]

lol well great to know. I went ahead and made a custom editor to handle it which seems to work for now

glad to have confirmation though

[unique light]

It just got to 99 percwntn

So far hasn't moved

[mild radish]

i always would give it a little longer than 5 min and then i'd just re-attempt

• its better to know if it consistently happens

[unique light]

OK I'll lyk what happens thanks for trying to help me

[mild radish]

goodluck

[unique light]

Yea this is my 4th time trying

[mild radish]

!install in case u havent seen this embed yet

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.

[mild radish]

oh in that case you probably have seen this

[unique light]

Yes sir

Yea it's still stuck and taskmamger shows no intall

Install

Idk what to do know

Now

[worldly cave]

what kind of pc do you have

what are your specs

ram, cpu and what kind of storage are you using

[unique light]

8gb of ram and ssd

With 100 gb left on it

[worldly cave]

cpu?

[unique light]

Ryzen 3

When I installed editor on browser everything ran fine but when I went to install vr

That wouldn't work either

So nothing installs on my hub

[polar basalt]

did unity ever add this?

https://discussions.unity.com/t/mobile-notifications-custom-sound/763340/8

i dont see any Sound option anywhere

but damn its been 6 years??

[worldly cave]

maybe your av is blocking it?

[unique light]

I disabled real-time and all the others

[worldly cave]

try making the hub an exception

[unique light]

So admim?

[worldly cave]

whats your os?

[unique light]

Windows

[worldly cave]

which one

[unique light]

10

What should I do?

[worldly cave]

honestly i got nothing

if you truly tried everything like you said

[unique light]

Yea

Oh ok

[worldly cave]

try posting your logs here through a paste service

[unique light]

OK sure

[worldly cave]

because the last time we asked you to this you decided you would rather do it in dms with some other random individual.

so we couldnt help you there at all

[unique light]

Yea sorry ab that

[worldly cave]

you dont have to apologize, you only affected yourself lol

something is interrupting your downloads

it might be your network

[unique light]

shouod i unplug ethjernet

[worldly cave]

how do you plan on downloading something without your internet?

[unique light]

bro idk how im so stupid

[lusty dome]

maybe some of those services are blocked in your country?

[worldly cave]

if anything you should be using ethernet and not wifi as its less prone to network drops

[unique light]

im in the uk

[worldly cave]

also im seeing here that the installer is only using about 3gb of your 8gb ram

so some other processes might be running at the same time as the install and throttling your ram

[unique light]

nothing elses was

[worldly cave]

ok. close unity hub completely, delete any folders in "C:\Users\vikto\AppData\Local\Temp" that start with "unityhub-"
same thing for "C:\Users\vikto\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub"

Run the unity hub as an admin and try to install a slightly older LTS version like the "2022.3 LTS"

Ensure no other program or process is active in the background

use a weird connection and disable sleep/hibernation on your pc

ensure there is no network interruptions even for a second it could completely stop the download

if then and only then it doesnt work, then i simply dont know what to tell you

actually i do know what to tell you, use s&box or godot at that point lol

[unique light]

wheres sleep i cant fiund it in setts

nvm

im gonna install uniuty hub again can anyone send a link just to be safe than sorry

/download

/unity

[worldly cave]

what

just go on the unity website

[unique light]

ok

and when i download asnd it gives me a prompt to make changes i press yes?

do i?

[mild radish]

yes, the install needs permissions to setup everything

[proper rain]

anyone wanna play this vr space game my friend is developing?

[unique light]

u dont have to download but have i done evrything right? if u do see it

imhere rn

shoukld i close discord?

What should I do now

Use godot

What's that

[copper gust]

[unique light]

Oh

Can u make vr games there

anyone know why this happens? when i'm in pro builder and try to select an object's face, it purposely picks the face on the object behind the one i am clicking

i can only click the faces of the object im looking at if there's no pro builder object behind it

regular selection, vertices and edges work. its just specifically when i try to select faces

[unique light]

Yea I did that last time it worked but I'm making a vr game

So I can't download vr from the hub

[safe finch]

👋

[polar basalt]

same issue its soo bad

[worthy cove]

whenever i use a scene template, the saved scene makes its own folder with all the prefabs used and stuff, but that kinda defeats the purpose of prefabs, where i just want to change one setting and all of the objects get changed. how can i fix this?

[copper gust]

seems like its this?

[worthy cove]

hmm lemme check

to be clear, this will result in using the original one and WONT give me big fleshy meat chunks??

[tardy python]

hey guys, i'm trying to make a grid system for my game. i want it to be adaptive to screen size and each cell should be clickable so users can add notes. it will basically be a song editor like you'd see in apps like FL studio. i tried using a couple of for loops to create a bunch of image objects, but a couple minute song will end up being like thousands of objects and will really hurt performance. what do you guys think would be the best way to do this in 2d?

[copper gust]

you might wanna look into ui toolkit

ui solution that isn't gameobject based

[tardy python]

how would i do that with UI toolkit? i dont see any controls for a grid component

[uncut axle]

What module is missing on the website that stops you?

[copper gust]

Unfortunately can’t speak on specifics as I haven’t messed with it yet, but sounds like what your looking for in general

Anything directly drawing to screen (ui toolkit, classic unity ui, shaders) is probably what you need vs. anything gameobject based

[unique light]

Dont i have ti download vr on unity to make a vr game?

[potent geyser]

There is no module for "VR". You would need the android build support module depending on if you're using a headset that requires APK builds.

You can follow:
https://learn.unity.com/pathway/vr-development

[unique light]

So if i got unity editor but not in the hub It can function like if it was installed on the hub

[potent geyser]

Unity doesn't need the hub to run, no. So if you installed a version manually, it will "function" normally. You can even add it to the hub after the fact.

[unique light]

Did u make jolly roll?

Are u the dev

[unique light]

Why did NOBODY tell me ts

[potent geyser]

If you don't ask the right questions, nobody will know what to tell you.

[unique light]

Oh but did u make jollyroll

[potent geyser]

Yep

[copper gust]

Extremely offtopic and with no hate but man Jollyroll is an awful name SEO wise

Google refuses to show me anything but Jelly Roll

[potent geyser]

Lol, it's been on Steam for like 2 months with no marketing. I wouldn't expect it to show up anywhere.

[exotic relic]

What would you have called it? Maybe he could take inspiration… although it is late

Looks like a cool game. I haven’t seen those around in a while

[wooden cove]

I have these following objects in a level scene, which i want to keep consistent for every other level scene.
Would it be a good idea to just group all of these as a prefab?

I tried looking online, which gave the following answer

• Instantiating/Destroying huge prefabs is not good performance-wise - Does this still hold if I don't do any of that at runtime, and only use the prefabs for its consistency (so any changes i make in one scene will be applied to the other)?

[gray frigate]

it doesn't matter if you have 10 objects or 10 objects parented to another object

I have a "Scene Globals" object that all of my gameplay scenes contain, which is exactly what you're talking about here

[wooden cove]

alright, thanks!

[copper gust]

You might prefer to have these move to the DontDestroyOnLoad scene or have a specific “management” scene that is always loaded

[wooden cove]

(other than game manager and screen manager which are already in DontDestroyOnLoad,) i don't think the rest should be always loaded though?

[copper gust]

What makes you say that?

[wooden cove]

for example, in menu scenes or dialogue scenes, i don't think i need them present

[copper gust]

Fair, though in those situations you could spawn and despawn prefabs that control those different parts of the game, or just have them chilling now doing anything until they are told to

No particular right way to do this thing but just proposing other ways

[wooden cove]

hmm fair

although, some of those objects have lots of scripts that already use Start() and Awake() so that might be a pain

[copper gust]

Generally I myself try to keep anything the level designers (even if thats you) shouldn’t be touching outside of the scenes they should be touching

[shrewd pulsar]

Hello, how is everyone? Does anyone have a video tutorial or something similar that shows how to make a functional inventory where I can select the object and hold it in my hand?

[fair cove]

Im not sure if they fixed the UI in later versions, though I remember having a lot of issues with Unitys template system before, even when no dependencies were selected it would include a generated folder with assets not even used in the project - my workaround was just to make my own "template" with a blank scene I manually copied and edited, I went an extra step of making a custom editor window for it since I knew it was something id be doing somewhat often but it is time-consuming to do that, if you just want to change some specific things of a prefab, you might need to create a prefab variant (which if you choose the custom editor approach, there is some API to do that)

[fair cove]

Is there a certain step your struggling with? Is it making an inventory or having an object spawn in your players hand or something else?

[shrewd pulsar]

I've already made an inventory where I can store items and everything correctly, but when I try to select the item from the inventory, it won't let me, and I don't know why.

[fair cove]

What do you mean by "it wont let you"? If you add some Debug.Logs at the point of selection, do you get anything printed to the console?

[shrewd pulsar]

It's not that there's an error or anything, it just doesn't work when I try to select the object in the inventory. I can grab objects, and that object would be stored in the inventory, but I can't select it directly. I don't know if I'm missing some code or something that would allow me to select it and put it in my hand.

[fair cove]

I dont see it in your screenshot, but from what you described, it sounds like you might not have a EventSystem in your scene, or your inventory slots are not buttons or some other kind of interactable Selectable

[safe finch]

👋

[shrewd pulsar]

Maybe! Because I'm watching a video tutorial and he has it. Also, the Slot script I have uses UnityEngine.EventSystems;. I understand that this is created automatically when you create a project, so why don't I have it? How could I create one?

[fair cove]

One is created when you add a Canvas to your scene, but you can also manually add just a EventSystem from the "GameObject" dropdown (or right-click a blank spot in your Hierarchy), under GameObject > UI you should see EventSystem there

[shrewd pulsar]

Yeeeeees, I had that problem for days, and it turns out it was because there was no EventSystems. Whenever I did it, it was created, so I completely forgot about it. Thank you very much, you really helped me a lot .

[sturdy jacinth]

i just unitied

[tropic sorrel]

is there a help channel or is this it?

[uncut axle]

Because. Like so many of us. You come with a problem we try to fix that. But yes. You can then add the manually installed unity to the hub. But im also guessing the hub actually had installed it. You were looking for something that wasnt there.

[uncut axle]

Depends on the help. There's something like 77 channels so chances are there is a relevant place for help

[uncut axle]

It depends how you placed the canvas in. The screen shot didnt cover enough to determine but if for example you have made it a prefab and you drop that in. It wont add one automatically. If however you create a blank canvas. Then it will. Its just something to keep an eye out for.

[shrewd pulsar]

Ohh understand, I will keep that in mind for next time. Thank you very much.

help i get error when i create a brand new project. i tried the reimport all functons but it doesnt fix it

[uncut axle]

do you use the colab package?

[covert shell]

this LITERALLY just happened to me, i went to package manager > Unity registry > Version Control and removed it. Worked after that

anyway can someone help me? how does this TMP InputField event thing work

[uncut axle]

this is what i was going to say, OR, you change the version being used if you need it

[covert shell]

i wanted to make a test scene with cinemachine amplitude and frequency where i put in values in the input field and upon clicking, it would perform the shake with that amp and freq

unfortunately i couldnt get the script to inherit the data from the input field upon its value update

[flat breach]

hi, what would be the best way to achieve an echo effect on an AudioClip, would it be to have the original the Audio with the desired effect or would an Audio Reverb Filter work too? I've just heard about this component now

[uncut axle]

@covert shell https://medium.com/@pkillman2000/saving-data-using-input-fields-in-unity-a5b6414dc076 as an example

[covert shell]

nvm found it, turns out i was using the wrong function in the dropdown

[covert shell]

wonderful, thankyou!

[flat breach]

#🔊┃audio

[covert shell]

also any clue why this is happening?

I put amplitude as 1 and frequency as 1, it shakes a lot
I change the frequency to 100000, it shakes a lot
now i change the frequency back to 1, shakes only in one direction as a sudden jerk. No "Shakes a lot" feel, no contant shake like the first time

is cinemachine being bugged out after i put in a huge number in? if so how do i prevent that?

[thorny willow]

is this normal? i use unity 6.3

[slow dirge]

Depends on your project. But 6GB is very little, so I'd say yes.

[covert shell]

not sure, mine only takes 2

[uncut axle]

depends a bit on what you have, what you're doing, what editor assets youve added etc

[flat breach]

hi, what would be the best way to achieve an echo effect on an AudioClip, would it be to have the original the Audio with the desired effect or would an Audio Reverb Filter work too? I've just heard about this component now

and also why cannot I enable anti aliasing?

[storm patio]

generally, if you do stuff in unity, you can more easily tweak them

with the first option, if you wanted to remove the echo in the future, you'd have to go track down the original audio, you can't really modify the audio with reverb to not have reverb as easily

[flat breach]

but would reverb really work to give the echo feeling? I've just tried with a music and I can't really hear the differences

[storm patio]

im not an audio person, sorry. if reverb isn't in then there would probably be some other processing you can do. just a general tip to do processing in unity

perhaps ask in #🔊┃audio for specifics

[flat breach]

ohh okay no problem, thank you for helping

[flat breach]

do you know about that please?

[storm patio]

[wheat grotto]

Hello

I am looking for the best house for an horror game with the best lightning and has a big space for free can you help me?

[craggy pollen]

take a look around the assetstore

there are many websites, that offer free 3d models, a quick google research will help

[wheat grotto]

thank you

[flat breach]

why can't I enable anti aliasing? I've been trying to figure this out for 3 hours but I can't find the issue,I've read the documentation too by the way

[plain dagger]

That appears to be MSAA which i dont think is an option. the actual AA method is selected elsewhere

[craggy pollen]

are you using a post proccesing volume?

[flat breach]

no

[craggy pollen]

do that you will have aa and many more effects

[plain dagger]

The AA method should be selectable on your camera: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@12.0/manual/HDRP-Camera.html#rendering

[flat breach]

MSAA is an option in the multisample field if that's what you meant and do you know where the AA method could be selected? In the documentation, it says I've to choose forward rendering and just choose a multisample anti aliasing quality

[plain dagger]

I was mistaken but this option probably only becomes usable if MSAA is in use (i am guessing)

usually TAA or SMAA is used instead of MSAA

[flat breach]

I already have a global volume for the sky and yes I planned to add more effects but don't I need to enable them in my SRP asset first to use them in the post processing? Or that's just another effect just applied on the camera which doesn't need the fields selected in the SRP asset?

[craggy pollen]

you can do that all on your volume

[flat breach]

I see what you're saying but from what I've understood in the documentation, to use MSAA you need to select it there and I'm unable to do so... and I've checked the Graphics section and Quality in the project settings, It seems like I'm not using TAA or SMAA

and I think SMAA and TAA are post anti aliasing effects too if I'm not mistaken

[flat breach]

then what's the difference between what I'm currently doing and doing everything in the volume?

[wheat grotto]

how can i remove all the lightning in unity?

[plain dagger]

Then perhaps you are using deferred rendering and not forward? Anyway use these instructions: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.5/manual/Anti-Aliasing.html#multi-sample-antialiasing-msaa

[flat breach]

I'm using forward as you can see in this screenshot

[plain dagger]

Use Unlit shaders instead of Lit ones. These will not use lighting

[plain dagger]

dunno then 🤷‍♂️

[flat breach]

the documentation says screen space reflection needs to be disabled, that's maybe the issue

[plain dagger]

Ill be honest, id expect most use cases of hdrp to want to use deferred rendering and TAA

and you most likely want screen space and/or ray traced reflections so id say MSAA is a no go

[flat breach]

you're probably right but I'm kinda new to HDRP and I don't know anything about those yet,I'll try to see and look into that

[flat breach]

when you say TAA that's on the Camera component right?

[silent mica]

Ray tracing doesn't support MSAA. If you use ray tracing in your project, you are unable to use MSAA.
Did you try unticking that raytracing feature?

[flat breach]

yes, that doesn't help

I've just disabled the screen space reflection too and it didn't help either

oh yea, the documentation says I can't use raytracing and MSAA, maybe I should opt for deferred and TAA

[sly lake]

You don't necessarily need deferred, but TAA is probably a better option for HDRP

Though I'd probably stick with deferred opaque if you don't have any particular reason to use forward.

[flat breach]

okay, TAA is the post anti aliasing on the Camera component right?

[coarse parcel]

Hey Guys, i've changed my pixel art from 20 PPU to everywhere 16 PPU to have everything consistant with my game, but now my character sinks inside the tiles and when i try to change his box colider he starts floating on the tile in fall animation, anyone has an idea on what to do ? thx ❤️

[sly lake]

Yeah, it's on the camera.

[plain dagger]

TAA introduces shimmer and is used alot in games to blur things (including dithering)
I personally dont like this but it seems to be popular

[wise yacht]

OK so my guess (can't do much more than guess atm) is that

• the first issue (sinking) was because the sprite gets bigger at 16ppu
• After you changed the box collider size, the 'ground check' (however u do it) isn't in the right place now

[flat breach]

yea, someone advised me to use dithering, I just found the exposure option in volumes, that's fantastic to change the environment color, intensity, do you know why adding lights to a scene would be important? Is that to make different lighting zones or something similar? and also I don't understand why there's everything in the volume profile, like all the options that are in the SRP asset are also there, is the SRP asset just to enable things in the project and then I need to use them with a profile component or?

[plain dagger]

dithering is a technique that is applied to many things such as an alternative to transparent rendering
Lights let us see things so why do you need to ask why they are important?
The docs should explain what volumes do. they let us define post processing settings for a whole scene and/or a specific 3d area in a scene.

[flat breach]

the docs indeed explains what volumes do, but they don't explain what's the difference between their overrides and the SRP asset's

[plain dagger]

The assets let you enable/disable the features in project and also define the default settings for the effects

[flat breach]

for the SRP asset, they just explain the words such as what anti aliasing does etc but not what I've asked you

[flat breach]

exactly what I wanted to know thank you

[gray frigate]

MSAA is enabled on the camera itself.

[flat breach]

it doesn't appear there..

[gray frigate]

it is part of the Frame Settings

MSAA is not a form of post-processing anti-aliasing

look for "MSAA Within Forward"

this can be enabled either:

• in the HDRP asset
• in your camera's custom frame settings

[flat breach]

ohh yes well see, lol I didn't know that

[thorny willow]

I got an issue, where my scene lags alot. whyy

[ionic ermine]

yo

guys whats the best layout

for unity

for laptop u sers

i have a 15.6 unity layout

laptop

mb

[mild radish]

really up to you i use this

[deft rock]

The one that helps you be the most productive for the task you're doing, it's subjective of the work and the person.

See Spawns above, he likes, but I wouldn't get on with - the project window is too far away from the inspector, increasing the time to drag from PW -> inspector. And if you're doing lots of repeated ragging, that adds up in time and RSI

[mild radish]

and note.. u can expand/dock and undock and resize/maximize any window u want

its just dependant on what ur doing...

make the space work for you

[mild radish]

thats a fair observation 👍

i have seen the double stack on one side or the other.. w/ both project and heirarchy sitting next to each other.. but i browse my files alot.. and much organizational reworks.. not enough space for me to navigate the project like that

[ionic ermine]

u dont really know i cant find the right one for me

[mild radish]

make one...

you can open and close all windows via the menu 👇

ohhh 4split is nasty 🤣

[ionic ermine]

do yall kknow a website where there is layouts

[deft rock]

My "main" layout is across two screens, project winow on the right of one monitor, inspector on the left of the next monitor.

or when I'm working on a single screen, I have the project window where you do, but the hierarchy and inspector on the left, above it

[deft rock]

no, it's not a thing anyone would want... just drag things around and put them how you want

[mild radish]

same.. thats y its not too much of big deal what my layout is..

it always get split and moved around on two monitors..

[mild radish]

you can do the default layout.. and just crack ur game/scene windows apart next to each other..

but with a small monitor u may want to keep one or the other minimized until testing

[mild radish]

hardware issues is my guess..

[deft rock]

The best thing to do is probaly just ignore the layout for now and start working.. as you work notice the painpoints and adjust the layout

[mild radish]

💯 percent ^ you'll figure out what works best for you.. and you'll also discover which windows you work out of more than others.... and as you do you can imagine a "heatmap" of ur cursor.. where do you go from.. which window to which window..
put those closer to each other... work some more.. and just adapt to what u need

the reason for layouts and all the windows being dockable makes the workspace truely custom..

it is whatever you need it to be

[sudden ruin]

im experiencing a bit of a weird issue where my console doesnt instantly update if the window isnt docked. there seems to be arbitrary delays of how often it actually updates. i dont recall ever encountering this issue in the past with versions before 6.3. any ideas on what this is and how to fix it?

[strong fable]

how do I get normal and depth before drawing opaques in rendergraph? SSAO clearly does this but I cannot figure out how to do this for my own features

[sly lake]

Why do you think SSAO does this?

SSAO runs after the g-buffer pass. Right before deferred. If the g-buffer hasn’t rendered there is no normal or depth.

[strong fable]

SSAO uses normals and there is an option "after opaque" which implies that is has access to normals before opaques are drawn if this option isnt ticked. I want these normals too but dont know how to get em. I'm just using SSAO as an example that its clearly possible to get them this early.

[sly lake]

How would it obtain normals for something that hasn’t rendered yet?

[strong fable]

all the docs talk about some DepthNormal prepass which apparently is used for this.

[sly lake]

Guess you need to get access to whatever UAV the depth pre-pass writes to and make sure it’s passed into your shader.

[plain dagger]

When using forward rendering this is an additional pass
If deferred it should be information already included in the normal deferred passes

I think the docs mention the texture name for the depth normal texture so you can use it

[mild radish]

what the is going on here? those seem to be terrain buttons for the scene view. (updated from 6 to 6.3)

Latest 6.3? G/card drivers up to date?

Some versions of 6.2 had UI issues like that.. don't think there was a user side fix though
