[subtle geyser]

Can someone help me? I’m trying to add a script to one of the empties in my game and it says can’t add script because so-and-so.

[worldly cave]

but it really isnt any more difficult than doing anything else once you practice

[gusty abyss]

it isnt hard, but the time and patience you need is insane

[worldly cave]

so-and-so tells us nothing

whats the error message

[gusty abyss]

is it missing a component?

or is it named differently from its monobehaviour class name

[subtle geyser]

It just said can’t add scripts because it has to be matching names or whatever

[vivid cedar]

show the actual error message

[plain dagger]

Hmm then perhaps you should have read it properly first

Correct the filename OR class name to be the same

[subtle geyser]

It all of a sudden just worked now…..

[worldly cave]

this is the most unhelpful way to ask for help

but whatever glad you fixed it

[ocean locust]

this is making me reconsider having co op in my game 😭 though as long as i do it now it'll be fiiiine in the long run, I hope

[worldly cave]

knowing networking takes time and effort to understand well is making you reconsider multiplayer?

Im sorry but almost everything in game dev takes time and effort to get good at

whats new here

[ocean locust]

I did a course on networking so I'll be fiiiine riiiiight

[gusty abyss]

give or take 2-3 months based off how much stuff you want, you need to learn a few things and you're all good

[vivid cedar]

networking is very difficult. But if you're dedicated and understand the concepts deeply, you'll be ok.

[ocean locust]

it's moreso just that im not very smart and I fear I'm biting off more than I can chew

[worldly cave]

well scope creep is a very real thing

if you are afraid your game is going to get out of your hands with complexity you should dial back the concept itself

but always start with an mvp and go from there

dont do too much as your building it up initially

[ocean locust]

I'm trying to be quite tight with the scope, and break down each major mechanic into a question of "how I do this one thing independently of the other things". with the hope that, at worst I've learned something, and at best I've got a mechanic for my game complete

and at the very least, I'm trying to file things into "this is what i want for mvp" "this is what i want once i'm more confident" "this is pipe dream stuff". i hope that's a good approach?

[storm patio]

you could also consider making it singleplayer (to focus on core systems) and then remake it as multiplayer as a separate project later

[flat breach]

hello, I'd like to add a phone in a game with like 2-3 conversations that the player will be able to read, is it better to use an image for the phone or a real 3d model?

[storm patio]

depends on what you want the player to see

[flat breach]

I want the player to see a phone with 2-3 conversations, I'll use images for the conversations

[azure grove]

either way i would likly make the screen a render texture, so you can use the UI system to make and animate the texts on it

[worldly cave]

this feels like an entirely artistic choice to me

and therefor the only answer is: whatever you want

[dusk walrus]

how do i do anything

[tropic halo]

both would work, it just depends on you're art style, if you want the easier option use an image (ui)

[flat breach]

yes exactly what I planned to do but I'm talking about the phone exterior you know

[worldly cave]

can you be more specific

[tropic halo]

[ocean locust]

mm that's not a bad idea. though i do worry how much would be transferrable between a singleplayer and multiplayer version of the same project

[dusk walrus]

in unity

[storm patio]

get more specific, figure out your constraints, then work on which solution satisfies those constraints

[tropic halo]

use a hash set

[storm patio]

can you be more specific

[azure grove]

the exterior us a artistc choise and depends on how you wnat to use it in game

up to you mate

[dusk walrus]

a hash set

[storm patio]

mate, do you actually have a question or are you just here to spam

[tropic halo]

it's called small talk

[worldly cave]

This is a help channel

there is no off topic or general here

[storm patio]

this isn't a place for small talk

[tropic halo]

it's unity-talk not unity-help

ty

[vivid forge]

does anyone have any idea about unity lighting?

I have a mesh imported from maya (fully uv unwrapped with substance paint textures), now I have the object and point light in the scene, when I bake lighting, the mesh turns black, IDK why, does anyone know why this is happening?

[azure grove]

make sure you have a 2nd uv set for lightmapping or in the model import settings told unity to generate one for you

[vivid forge]

that's turned on, even after that I get the black mesh

[azure grove]

is it set static in the scene, and you sure its normals are facing the correct way

[worldly cave]

yeah i think the normals are messed up

because whats happening here

[azure grove]

might be inside out, would make the material only show front faces to confirm

[gusty abyss]

ts is pissing me off how do I fix it

[azure grove]

6.3?

[gusty abyss]

yes

[azure grove]

toggle from local to world space and back

[vivid forge]

it is set to static, and the mesh in maya which ig the normals are fine

[gusty abyss]

why does this fix it

thank you

[azure grove]

its a bug it happens if you recompile with the tool active only in 6.3

its just straight up a bug that will get fixed in a patch

[gusty abyss]

love unity 🙂

[dusk walrus]

could you animate an object by changing its mesh for each frame?

[flat breach]

in this game, they just added the conversations without any models, and that looks good, do you know how to make this slider please?

[gusty abyss]

guess we know who Mason Oliver is

[azure grove]

possible sure, a good approach no

[gusty abyss]

but its a simple scroll bar

[flat breach]

who is it lol

[gusty abyss]

the guy behind Mom

[storm patio]

there is a builtin scroll rect component

[gusty abyss]

yea that

[dusk walrus]

would it be better than just cycling through a bunch of objects?

[gusty abyss]

ui > scrollview

[flat breach]

ye, but like did he just make multiple canvas and limited its size? then added an image that's bigger and just made the scroll bar to change the images y?

[flat breach]

oh okayy thank you

[gusty abyss]

ive never worked with scrolling before so I cannot help

[gusty abyss]

how

[flat breach]

same lol

[flat breach]

thank you bro

[gusty abyss]

never needed too anything I add already fits on the page

or I make it fit

[gusty abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAqyi85IAJ0 this tutorial helped me understand, id recommend it

goes over horizontal and vertical scrolling

[flat breach]

I'll watch it right away tyy

[gusty abyss]

gonna need that if im making a custom OS in unity

[gusty abyss]

fairs ig, i have a tendency to make large ui

its stupid simple, you just need a few components

[gusty abyss]

few too many for me

[stoic cypress]

I added an input but it's not working, am I doing something wrong?

[vivid cedar]

How do you know it's not working? How are you trying to use it?

You almost certainly want "Key or Mouse Button" as the Type for this, no?

[stoic cypress]

I added a debug its not showing

[vivid cedar]

you have other variables involved in that condition

simplify your test

(also a separate variable for off and on seems like a poor design)

[storm patio]

also are you getting any errors

[flat breach]

I've just seen the video and it's great but in his case, he just does it with builtin unity text which is also much easier than what I want to achieve, do you think I should like try to take multiple screenshots of a conversation and always at like the same point and use these as the text? not sure if U get me,

[vivid cedar]

why not just a single bool

[worldly cave]

yeah what the hell is the point of 2 bools

a single bool already represents 2 states

[flat breach]

why are you using 2 bools in this case?

[stoic cypress]

no errors it's something wrong with input

[worldly cave]

you can just do "bool FlashlightStatus" and then switch from false to true

[storm patio]

i think i've mentioned this to you before - if you can do something in engine, prefer that over some image or external pre-compiled asset

having the text made in unity would allow you to easily change the contents, change fonts, change colors, add localization, enable/disable certain slots, etc

[flat breach]

are you using 2 audiosources? 😭

[vivid forge]

@stoic cypress you can use on = !on which can be used to turn on or off according to your idea

[worldly cave]

theres only a few things in terms of "text" you would want to do outside of unity and import as images

most of the time you should be doing it inside of Unity

[vivid cedar]

1. did you take the advice about the "Type" field
2. Did you try testing with simpler code
3. Are you sure this code is even running at all
4. Can you show your console window while running the game?

[stoic cypress]

its not just this, I added e and its not working either it's clearly not the script

[flat breach]

yes you did mention it to me, and you're right I'll just try to find like some images for the message containers and a background and I'll do it in Unity

[vivid cedar]

So have you or have you not done any of those steps?

[storm patio]

look for a sliced/slicable image so you can expand the container dynamically

[flat breach]

what I meant is in the video he scrolled multiple texts only

[storm patio]

kuzmo's referring to text in general (i think)

[worldly cave]

yes

[flat breach]

oh, then yes I'll do it in unity

[ebon rivet]

Use new input system better

[supple mica]

For a game like gorilla tag
Was the whole map likely made in blender then imported to Unity, or assembled in Unity from many blender parts

[worldly cave]

how are we supposed to know

but the general workflow for most games would be building out the level using primitives in unity and replacing certain assets with ones created in blender

[supple mica]

Yeah I was basically asking what works best
thx for the answer

[plain dagger]

If you export with a model format that will keep instances then you can export the whole level as a model

Instancing is important to not duplicate models multiple times

[supple mica]

Ok thanks for the info

[storm patio]

i spent way too long making that svg version...

[plain dagger]

how much of this would translate to uitk i wonder 🤔 (no idea how good the css is there yet tbh)

[flat breach]

this is css?

[storm patio]

that is svg with some css embedded

[flat breach]

I'm trying to search for an image such as the blue one for the message but I can't find one...

[flat breach]

that looks great

[plain dagger]

I guess a 9 slice sprite of that message bubble would work for ugui

[storm patio]

it was way too much work for so little content lmao, definitely not sustainable to be writing by hand

please do not use that message bubble i made, the tail could be so much better (but would take so much more time)

[flat breach]

lool, can I actually use svg within unity?

[storm patio]

i don't think so, but that mightve changed

[flat breach]

bro it really looks good

[worldly cave]

there is an experimental package

that lets you import and use vector graphics

[flat breach]

I'm gonna use his bubble then lol 🤣

[plain dagger]

this isnt going to go well

🍿

[flat breach]

do you remember its name?

[storm patio]

is the experimental package usable?

i remember wanting to use vector graphics and not being able to

but that was a long time ago

[worldly cave]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.vectorgraphics@2.0/manual/index.html i just saw it here

last updated in 2018...

surely it works without a flaw

[plain dagger]

It seems UITK supports them https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/ui-systems/work-with-vector-graphics.html

the other solution would probably just rasterise them anyway making it barely useful

[storm patio]

i have no idea how to make that message bubble 9-sliceable

[plain dagger]

the pointy bit is seperate

ive actually done a message box thing before in UGUI and I think thats what I did

[torpid cave]

how do i make a blur fullscreen shader

[worldly cave]

what pipeline?

[torpid cave]

URP

[worldly cave]

it might be a bit too archaic but you couldnt you do this with a depth of field post processing effect?

unless you explicitly want a shader

[torpid cave]

i want it to be visible outside of the player camera, DOF only works on player camera

[worldly cave]

so what do you mean by "fullscreen"

i just assumed you meant across the players entire screen

[torpid cave]

idk, i just thought it was a fullscreen shader

[worldly cave]

what

[storm patio]

huh, i imagined it'd be easier to have the tail as part of the 9-sliced sprite.. but i guess this does make it easier to make it for the other side, or for messages to not have tails like what instagram does?

[torpid cave]

so can you answer the question?

[storm patio]

reduced it to just the message bubble, made it white for tinting purposes. this is absolutely not prod-ready, but i guess it'd work as a placeholder.```svg
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200">
<rect x="50" y="75" width="100" height="50" rx="24" fill="white"/>
<path fill="white" d="
M 140 115
a 25 25 0 0 0 10 20
a 25 25 0 0 1 -24 -20
Z
"/>
</svg>

[torpid cave]

i feel like a blur shouldnt be too hard to make

[plain dagger]

I just remember the artist did the tail bit seperate as then the BG can be sliced easily without much effort and we can place the tail anywhere.

[warm patrol]

yo can someone help me? I want a unity script that makes a first person shooter but I’m new to unity and I don’t have time to watch a beginner tut

[rancid whale]

The latest Unity comes with a template for an FPS shooter.
I highly recommend you do actually learn step by step though.

[warm patrol]

but I have a flight and the flight doesn’t have Wi-Fi or service or anything so I want to do FAST

[rancid whale]

Do you have Unity 6.3 installed? The template shows up when you create a New Project

[warm patrol]

I Still didn’t install it if you can link the template that would be appreciated

bcuz I don’t have any time rn

bcuz I have to work and I have 2 hours until my flight

[rancid whale]

Well, right after you install Unity 6.3 click on “+ New Project”
It’s under HDRP, URP, etc called “FPS Microgame”

Might not even require 6.3, whatever Unity you do have installed may be able to run it too.

Not 100% sure. Wish you luck

[warm patrol]

but it has everything like weapons and working everything and sound effects and everything that a shooter game has?

or I should add my own things

[flat breach]

thank you soo much bro❤️ , I'll try to use it tommorow in my game.I really appreciate your kindness.

[warm patrol]

@rancid whale

[storm patio]

it's not going to be like, fully complete. it's a template, not a game

[rancid whale]

It has sounds if I recall correctly. And some CPU controlled moving robots to shoot at.

[worldly cave]

but whats the rush here lol

youre clearly just getting started with unity

you should take your time learning it

unless of course this is situation number 82# where someone had a month long project deadline for school or something and chose to do it last second 🤔

[rancid whale]

He wants to make the next CoD Black Ops game before the flight lands

[warm patrol]

facts

[worldly cave]

but no seriously

whats the rush

[warm patrol]

yk where? I’m going

[worldly cave]

if its related, enlighten us

[warm patrol]

I’m going to 🇺🇸 FINALLY

[storm patio]

oh you need gun practice, right

[worldly cave]

ok cool

how is this related to your unity question

[warm patrol]

AFTER 5 MONTHS IN EGYPT BROO

[storm patio]

how is this related

[worldly cave]

and im still wondering why youre in such a rush to create this project

[mild radish]

you know its not 😏

[warm patrol]

idk

[storm patio]

making a game is not a 2 hour thing

[rancid whale]

At least, any game worth playing.

[worldly cave]

yeah if you tell us why you need to make this game this quickly we can maybe help you in some other way

at least in a suggestions sort of way

[warm patrol]

but I have a flight and the flight doesn’t have Wi-Fi or service or anything so I want to do FAST

[storm patio]

or, i guess, what, 20 hour thing, accounting for the flight duration? idk i'm guessing here
you'd only get that kind of restriction in a game jam

[mild radish]

suure... it can be
you can build a high-score "game" in that time period

[rancid whale]

He chatted up the girl waiting in US that he’s pro game dev

[storm patio]

you will inevitably get stuck because you'll have to do something you don't know how to do

[rancid whale]

😉

[worldly cave]

but why do you need to do it FAST

whats the connection here between you not having in flight wifi and needing to create this project quickly

[warm patrol]

bcuz flight is after 2 hours

[worldly cave]

  did me a really solid..

[stiff sedge]

im pretty much starting from 0 but I am deticated to learning it, i spent 4 months learning bledner i just dont know where to start w unity

[warm patrol]

no it’s only my friends and my siblings

[worldly cave]

i was being sarcastic.

anyways what you are asking for simply doesnt exist

if you want the things you said youre simply going to have to learn how to do them on your own

[warm patrol]

NOooOoOoOoOo

[worldly cave]

through various tutorials and guides

as well as practice

[warm patrol]

can I ask deepseek to do it?

[rancid whale]

I see. Well some basics of C# may be good to start with then
Like variables, arrays, lists, for loops, other types of loops, etc
Unity has its own specifics to deal with after you have a basic knowledge of programming

[storm patio]

you can learn c# and unity together, but learning one at a time would make it easier

[warm patrol]

lol

[mild radish]

🤢 🤮

[worldly cave]

you can ask it to shit in your hand but i doubt it would lead to good results

[storm patio]

if you want to.. not actually make anything, sure

[mild radish]

it'd have a better chance at that than creating a functioning game in 2 hours

[storm patio]

@warm patrol gamejams usually last at minimum 3 days and more often 1 or 2 weeks.
those yield very basic games, comparatively.

you are not going to make a multiplayer fps in 1 day, nor are you going to learn enough to do so within 2 hours.

[stiff sedge]

for c# are there any must see video tutorials or books?

[rancid whale]

The good news is that many beloved and praised video games do the same typical stuff
Try to grasp fundamental knowledge like, how to move a 3D or 2D object, how to handle collisions between those objects or the static (non-movable) environment, what is the “state” of an object, how things occur over time in a game engine.

[torn mulch]

do you think that making a multiplayer game like fall guys is difficult if i never made a game before?

[worldly cave]

if you have no experience then yes its difficult

[mild radish]

yes

[worldly cave]

in fact its nigh impossible

[torn mulch]

lol wha why

[worldly cave]

you said it yourself

you never made a game before

[mild radish]

mutliplayer is "difficult" for those more advanced than beginner even..

its alot of legwork

[worldly cave]

plus fall guys isnt even that simple, not as simple as it looks at least lol

mechanically its a pretty complex game

[torn mulch]

yeah but considering i’ll watch tutorials, do a little vibe coding etc

[rancid whale]

IMO not really, past the basics I mentioned you’ll want to start watching Unity specific stuff because it’s beyond C#
If you feel confident in your understanding of how games work just jump into some Unity basics videos now.
The answers are out there for basically any kind of functionality

[mild radish]

💯 all those ragdoll games must be a nightmare to fine-tune

[worldly cave]

"little vibe coding"

then yes im doubling down, this will be impossible.

good luck

[storm patio]

do a little vibe coding
cool, that's gonna make it even harder

@torn mulch "i have no engineering experience, how hard would it be to build a skyscraper"

[torn mulch]

nahh gta is skyscraper

[rancid whale]

It’s not rocket science but it has a lot of knowledge required.

[worldly cave]

actually gta is probably the gates of heaven in your context

[storm patio]

do you think fall guys is way easier than gta or something

[torn mulch]

yes

[storm patio]

your skill level (0) makes the difference meaningless

they are both way out of your reach

[rancid whale]

Fall Guys is very physics intensive and doesn’t it use actual ragdolls? Not simple.
Just make a Cuphead clone you’ll learn more and it’s simpler.

[storm patio]

you need to build knowledge and experience before you can make them in a reasonable timeframe

[worldly cave]

if you cant even make pong (which at 0 experience you probably cant) then you are no closer to fall guys than you are to gta

[rancid whale]

Or a flappy bird clone to start. Or vampire survivors clone that’s a bit more technical

[torn mulch]

but considering i will learn and focus only on that game, how many years would it take to finish it?

[worldly cave]

maybe a good 3-4

[mild radish]

this series from [Sebastian Lague](#💻┃unity-talk message) really helped me out in the beginning.. the first couple of videos is like a crash-course into c# (relative to unity)
its not a "must-watch" but in my honest opinion and someone that has been there.. I wish i woulda took it more to heart when i first started learning.. i went back to it over and over until it finally clicked...
not a "must-watch" but its super close! 🍀 good luck

[storm patio]

if you go straight for making multiplayer fall guys, you will lose motivation far before you gain enough experience to actually complete it

[worldly cave]

also that

scope creep will hit you fast

but get this, you could probably create a very basic clone of fall guys, if you start by actually learning now

[storm patio]

(do not underestimate the sheer force that burnout has)

[worldly cave]

by focusing on the fundamentals first

[rancid whale]

Just start with … “almost” Fall Guys
What i mean is, a 3D character moving around and bumping into objects.
That’s a good starting point.

[worldly cave]

everyone has a dream game Mr. Period, nobody can make it as their first (unless very simplistic)

you need to learn the concept of "scopes" first and see how much it affects production

a game even 50% like fall guys including multiplayer is a large scope

way too large of a scope even for 1 person i would say

[torn mulch]

do you guys mean only coding stuff? cus im already good at sound design (i produce music and sfx) and i can get some assets when it comes to 3d stuff

[rancid whale]

Yeah I could’ve built 2-3 small games in the time I’ve been learning how to make my own DayZ clone.

[worldly cave]

we mean in terms of everything*****

also the music is probably the least important factor here

[rancid whale]

Let’s hear some beats. Got any UAD plugins? iZotope? Waves?

[worldly cave]

especially with what you are trying to do

[storm patio]

i had very overambitious plans to make a metroidvania in 2020, i thought it'd take like 4 years (and i did already have some programming experience)
the more experience i get with other games, the more i see my game idea would take n+1 years.

[rancid whale]

What you cooking with? Serum? Omnisphere? Spitfire LABS?

[worldly cave]

its like trying to lacquer a piece of broken balsa wood

[worldly cave]

lets not go off topic

[torn mulch]

omnisphere

aight I guess I’ll make some very small game first

[rancid whale]

You can download some free Rigidbody character controllers off the Unity Asset Store,
Maybe that’ll accelerate your Fall Guys goal.

[mild radish]

💯 agree. - I compare making a game like making a movie..
when you watch a movie you don't think about the countless hours/cast/and the super large crew that get it done.. ooo.. & 💰
spending millions of dollars and taking years to complete..

a single person could do it.. but it would take years and years to complete.. a one-man team.. doing it all themselves..
same thing applies to building a game.. even the most simple of games have tons of work and sweat put into them..
and good games go even more in depth.. Re-iterating and tuning hours to get that perfect/bug-free gaming experience..

if you think to yourself.. (that will take a few hours) turn it to days
(that will take a few days) turn it to weeks
(that will take a few months) years
(that will take a few years) dream game that never gets finished.. 😅

[worldly cave]

you should start with the learning the fundamentals

[storm patio]

navigating the unity editor, using the hierarchy, managing assets, using vcs, designing mechanics, designing flow, designing architecture, writing logic, configuring input, configuring physics, designing levels, creating visual art, creating audio, designing enemy/level/obstacle logic, writing animators, making state machines, managing a build, and so much more i'm probably not even thinking of

and that isn't even including anything regarding networkign or multiplayer

[rancid whale]

80% thinking “how tf is this gonna work”
10% YouTube & Google-ing
10% actually in Unity coding lol

[worldly cave]

a good 5% is just stealing code from the unity forums 🫣

[worldly cave]

also heres a good and very important tip. Dont use AI at all. Youre only going to be hurting your progress and learning by using it even sparingly

[rancid whale]

+1 to that. Make your own diagrams bro, pen & paper if ya like

[torn mulch]

is AI bad at coding and navigating in Unity?

[worldly cave]

it creates bad habits

especially when learning stuff

[rancid whale]

AI is great at summarizing / re-gurgitating

[worldly cave]

you need to do stuff manually otherwise if you rely on ai you will get stuck when it starts to hallucinate

and you wont be able to write its wrongs and fix whatever is broken with your code

[rancid whale]

At the end of the day it’s you that has to actually know what’s going on in the computer. The AI can’t do that for you

[worldly cave]

basically youre risking screwing yourself and your entire project over

[torn mulch]

ehhh Unity should train their own AI

[worldly cave]

they do, it sucks

[exotic relic]

It’s a assistant, not the answer. It can be super helpful, but you are going to want to know what it’s producing. It will give you exactly what you want and that’s a problem if you aren’t able to explain what you want

[rancid whale]

Ask AI how to make Fall Guys in Unity 6… it will give a great game plan probably

It won’t write out a banger game though. Maybe in 2030 it’ll be able to 😢

[worldly cave]

"Now youre thinking like a Game Developer! This isnt just a question, this is a drive, a passion! Would you like me to sketch out-...."

[rancid whale]

Might even spit out some good code snippets. It’s scraped the entire internet, prob take a human 10+ lifetimes to do that

[mild radish]

i'll be building matrix sims by then

[worldly cave]

i forgot the em dashes guys 😔

[torn mulch]

I was thinking about Fall Guys, Chicken Horse and other type of chill games that people at parties or couples at home can play together cus there’s not much good games like these.

[worldly cave]

okay so youre looking to create a local party game? like jackbox type thing or?

[torn mulch]

yeah

[worldly cave]

because if so this is already a lot more doable and smaller in scope

but you still need to start learning first

[mild radish]

couch multiplayer is much more obtainable

[rancid whale]

Download some Kenney assets bro and the Quaternius stuff too

Good aesthetic to start from in that case

[mild radish]

crap! i forgot to check out the free Unity Asset they gave-away yesterday

[rancid whale]

Honestly you can spend 2-3 days finding free assets on Fab and Unity Asset Store. And there’s more sites too

[worldly cave]

cant you still get all of them?

[exotic relic]

No

[mild radish]

not sure if u could click back

[exotic relic]

It shows up but the code is expired

It only lasts 24 hours

[worldly cave]

honestly looking at them, apart from the nice enviroment none of these seem worth getting

[exotic relic]

Agreed

[mild radish]

yea, I snatched up the Forest Lake Environment on the 26th

i think that was the best of the best imo.. i'll also grab that UIFX Glow shader

[rancid whale]

Ohh yeah the Forest environment. Damn that would’ve been nice to have

[mild radish]

that'll save me tons of work.. having to manually clone and blur every UI element i want bloomed out

[mild radish]

i haven't launched it yet.. bet it takes forever to load in 🤣

[worldly cave]

i already made a free one myself 😎 (its kinda subtle but its there)

[mild radish]

theres a little trick.. where you can use a world-space canvas and mount it to the camera
and then it'll bloom w/ the post processing

but i like to keep my UI screenspace if i can

[worldly cave]

omg you just reminded me

i switched to a world space ui so now this script is actually useless

buh

[mild radish]

life of a dev

[atomic urchin]

What channel here would be best for handling problems with Plastic source control in Unity?

[exotic relic]

as in purchase it? because I attempted the codes and they are all expired for me.

[mild radish]

I've never used the RectMask2D before.. and if its the exact size of my resolution it leaves slivers of skybox/nothingness around the edges.. *see video

thinking to myself i could scale the viewport bigger than the resolution but i discoved the Padding that was folded up..
❓ my question: is this the proper way to contend with this? will changing the padding have any unexpected outcomes w/ the mask or anything

[mild radish]

nah, the UIFX Glowshader is free tomorrow

thats what i meant.. i'll make sure to use the code for it tomorrow.. the rest i can stand to miss out

[exotic relic]

I used a material shader on my text but i want to see how that uifx asset did it lol

[mild radish]

mmhmm same... 🧪 🥼 gotta take a Peek inside 😆

I would usually only be able to put bloom on text that didn't change.. I would duplicate it and blur it and put it behind the regular text (or use the world-space canvas)

[plain dagger]

why bother masking something that fills the whole screen

but id double check anchor offsets and if pixel perfect is on

[mild radish]

well i was testing w/ a fullscreen..
haven't thought out its use-cases just yet.. but i really needed to make a scrollable UI script

[mild radish]

ahh that may help

[rancid whale]

Guys, do you think implementing Motion Matching is worthwhile?
Or are just the more basic systems involved useful enough - like analyzing animation clips, calculating pose differences, etc.

[worldly cave]

i think its worth it

[rancid whale]

Sometimes I wonder if I should be just spending more time in Blender animating from scratch,
Or at least making my own edits of the animations I do have.

[worldly cave]

the real challenge with motion matching is getting the actual motion

a good motion matching database needs to have close to 100+ individual clips

to actually look good

but when it works it works and it looks great

[rancid whale]

MxM on Unity Asset Store comes with a bunch.

[worldly cave]

i thought that one was abandoned?

wasnt that the one that used to cost like a 100 bucks and is now free?

[rancid whale]

Yes. But the clips are there. Surely they're free to use as well, the entire asset is free now.

[worldly cave]

i guess so

[rancid whale]

There's not a huge amount of animations but basics like walking, running, turning & plants, stops starts etc.

[worldly cave]

yeah but for motion matching

that still is going to be like a lot of clips lol

but yeah in general motion matching is almost always worth it when done right

it just gives third person movement that oomph that sort of elevates it

[rancid whale]

Many of my favorite games seemed to have some motion matching or at least definitely some procedural animation happening

It just seems to me sometimes that
with runtime trajectory prediction and the pre-runtime analysis of clips pose differences, velocity and rotation differences etc
That's already enough data to easily build a state-based controller that would be comparable to full Motion Matching

[robust sentinel]

Hey everyone, I'm interested in game development for beginners. What engine is better to start with?

[exotic relic]

Unity

It has tons of learning resources, easy layout, straight forward to getting started.

[rancid whale]

Godot is pretty cool too. But has its own issues and shortcomings that will lead you to have to "reinvent the wheel" a bunch. Very DIY
Unreal i think is more "plug & play" than Unity but, we have a whole thread about why we don't like it so.
https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1202155978372423690

Make sure to hit the Unity Asset Store daily, there's free gifts. A few left still.

Fab has tons of amazing free assets too, not just UE-only,
And every couple weeks they rotate the "Limited Time Free" 3 assets.
There are other sites like Sketchfab, CGTrader, PolyHaven.

[dusky forum]

I have to do a whole lot to undo most of what is done for us in unreal...

[robust sentinel]

Okey thank you @rancid whale @exotic relic

[atomic urchin]

It doesn't seem to be pixel perfect for me either, no matter what settings I use. That might be a side effect of its softness feature, in that it's always got a tiny bit of blurring at the edges

[rancid whale]

I can't even get above 55 FPS on the starter third person controller in UE, even on lowest settings 🥺
I want my games to run well on mobile phones Nintendo Switch etc 🤷‍♂️

[subtle geyser]

Why does it keep doing this

[copper gust]

are there details in the console

[subtle geyser]

That

There’s no errors in the console, though whenever I click clear it all clears

I’m so confused

[copper gust]

that seems like a lie lol

[subtle geyser]

See..

[copper gust]

you clicked clear

[subtle geyser]

But I’m still confused. Why does it keep saying that I’ve done this like three times it keeps saying that.

[copper gust]

i assume because there is an error..

trying again doesn't just solve the error

you need to solve the error

[subtle geyser]

I’m trying again to see if I get the error and I’ll show what the error is

I am facing a persistent issue when building for Android in Unity.
The error appears as:

Failed to update Android SDK package list. See the Console for details.

Actions Already Taken:

Completely uninstalled Unity Hub and all Unity Editor versions.

Manually deleted all Unity-related folders from:

Program Files

ProgramData

AppData (Local / Roaming / LocalLow)

Completely removed Android SDK, NDK, and OpenJDK folders.

Cleaned all Environment Variables (JAVA_HOME, ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT) and removed related paths.

Restarted the system multiple times.

Reinstalled Unity Hub from the official website.

Installed Android Build Support (SDK, NDK, OpenJDK) only through Unity Hub (no manual installation).

Tried different Unity versions (including LTS), same issue persists.

The issue occurs even on a new empty project.

Additional Notes:

Running Windows with Administrator privileges.

Android builds fail, while Windows builds work correctly.

I would appreciate guidance on advanced troubleshooting steps or confirmation if this is a known issue with the current Unity/Android SDK setup.

Thank you.

I have an object in blender with 1,1,1 scale, but when I import it to unity its 100,100,100 scale. how do I fix this

nvm I fixed it

[sonic ferry]

how do u build structures ?

like a snapping feature?? Basically connecting prefabs together snuggly

[copper gust]

what about it don't you understand

[rancid whale]

Unity has it. Google “Unity vertex snap move”

It’s easier & faster to just use the Snap to Grid, but then all your stuff needs to be multiples of some unit.
Like 0.10 of a meter or 0.05 etc

[dawn moth]

Ok i have no idea where i can ask this but How do you use the projector from the built in pipeline

cause pretty much all documentation i saw was either outdated or just told me yeah you just use it...

[near wigeon]

outdated in what way?

[dawn moth]

like the curent documentation tell me nothing on how it work but the old one tell me to use a shader that just doesn't exist

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/prepare-materials-projection.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/class-Projector.html
looks fine to me

https://github.com/jamschutz/Unity-Standard-Assets/tree/master/Standard Assets

[dawn moth]

Oh so i need that

i was wondering why i didn't see the shaders

[near wigeon]

standard assets was taken out recently so yeah, birp is going to be probably phased out

[dawn moth]

honestly that's pretty stupid to have a component that doesn't work unless you download a "third party" material since they decided to remove the old one

[near wigeon]

its not third party it used to be built in the editor

or at least the menu was

[dawn moth]

no i know but like you get it through a third party source

you don't get it through unity anymore

it's cause i wanted to do a decal for a vrchat map that i'm working on with a friend but since it's on the standard render pipeline well the only way i found was with projector

[near wigeon]

most people are converting to urp

[dawn moth]

sadly i can't TwT

i don't know why they don't just archive this instead of full delete

[near wigeon]

new to Unity?

[dawn moth]

not really been making small project since i'm 12 (like 7 years i'm there)

am i missing something?

[near wigeon]

like the meme "first time?"

[dawn moth]

OOOH XD

[copper gust]

i liked when unity made the netcode docs infinitely worse for the sake of making it consistent with the other docs

[dawn moth]

dude i'm sorry i'm just running on like 2h of sleep and 5 cup of coffee

They sure do love ruining things

[near wigeon]

and a bunch of my links in docs is 404 and can only waybackmachne some

[dawn moth]

one tool i loved before it just became useless was speedtree, it was such an amazing tool but now it just doesn't even work

[dawn moth]

Well it doesn't work at all anymore i guess. it just do weird things. guess i will have to resort to permanent decal for the map on blender

I hate when they do that, i know it can be hard making everything still work with every update but like F**k that suck

was pretty much one of the only way i could do that without resorting to some other weird way that doesn't just make everything lag or have to actually code shader, something i might never be able to do

WAIT I FOUND OUT HOW

Okay so for some reason when the texture doesn't have any alpha even tho it had the Exact same parameter than the one with the shadow texture which have alpha it wouldn't work and it would just extend on the entire surface of the texture

so all i have to do is not have a texture that doesn't have transparency and it works fine

[strange oak]

@near wigeon holy necro post batman, sorry - hope you're still around. i was planning on doing this master script for all my streetlights in my game.

1. is it stupid bad practice to just use tags to group them all, then use the gametime component to activate and deactivate them by tag/objects in array?

2. if i had 5 zones in my city would this actually be firing off lights in 4 zones that aren't even being used, or will them being outside draw distance mean there is very very very little cost at the moment all the lights fire / deactivate?

sadly because they are streetlights they need to have realtime GI and i fear this will blow the game up every 7pm (or season-dictated time)

[near wigeon]

idk changed my mind on a lot of it
ultimately you have to try different things and see how its performs, analyze it profiler

you can probably activate some based on distance and figure out that way

if the zones are big maybe subgroup them or somethin

[strange oak]

Yeah true i can just add a check to the subgroup. but the tag system works? it feels straightforward to me because I'm still new and that's one of the tools I know how to use, but I have a feeling, as always, that smarter people than me have done it in more performant ways

in general that's a bit of the fear and what holds my progress back, i fear that if i do things at my current skill level, i'll find out later that it was a dumb way to do it, then have to spend time retooling it. so i spend a lot of time googling and checking (which, to be fair, has turned out good results)

[near wigeon]

like tags to do what with ?

[strange oak]

Like all my point lights that are my streetlights, i use tags for them, then deactivate by these tags eventually D:

[near wigeon]

spend time retooling it. so i spend a lot of time googling and checking (which, to be fair, has turned out good results)
this isn't a bad thing lol

[near wigeon]

they should already be in array or split into smaller arrays

are you runtime searching by tag?

[strange oak]

Haha okay, good to know! I need to come to terms with some decision paralysis and work out ways to deal with it i guess

[strange oak]

Yeah xD

Search by tag, create array, then toggle using the array

[near wigeon]

why do that at runtime, keep them in serialized array in the inspector

you can split into multiple components that have their own array

[strange oak]

Okay, crap. Uh, let me look that up. Sounds like I'm missing knowledge on how to put stuff into arrays without using runtime scripts

[near wigeon]

drag n drop

[sharp swan]

Yo

[strange oak]

So my lighting master script has a serialised field and then.. i drag and drop a prefab.. and use that prefab to create the lights?

[near wigeon]

huh? are the lights not in the scene already?

[strange oak]

Ack, you know what, you've given me the right keywords, I'll just go do my own research now haha don't want to bother you

[strange oak]

They are! For a small area. Now I'm planning to scale it up big time, say hundreds of them across 5-6 zones

Just drop them all? 😮 no issues there?

[near wigeon]

yes

[strange oak]

Holy, okay, let me try that. Thanks!

[tawny geyser]

has anybody worked on a game with someone else?

i need help on how to collaborate with someone else

[slow dirge]

Use github or unity version control(other options include perforce, subversion, etc...). That's basically it.

[tawny geyser]

how do i use unity version control?

[slow dirge]

Google for tutorials or read the manual basically.

[tawny geyser]

Thanks

[slow dirge]

Might want to learn about version control in general(not unity specifically) to understand what it is and how it works overall. All of the mentioned solutions mostly work the same way.

[charred fog]

General rule for using version control is to separate work files. And to start learning how to use vc, learning desktop client with large tutorial knowledge base like SourceTree very helpful.

[strange oak]

I tried Anchorpoint and must have missed a step, it just chokes my project every 15 second now. D:

I'll dive back into it when i get out of tinkering phase, I promise. (totally not procrastinating xD)

[slow dirge]

Might want to disable auto refresh in whatever tool you are using.

Yeah that's probably it, i need to ferret around a bit for the culprit probably

Hello guys, can you give some advise on the best approach for a 3D game using WebGL. I am having some difficulty understanding the implementation of the 3D field. My game appears in 2D, but the playing field is 3D (like a board game). How can I make the field cells use cubes (tiles) with text on them, using Text Mesh Pro 3D? Or is it better to use a cube with text engraved on it?

[craggy pollen]

you´d have to post a screenshot or a vid of your game, so we can understand better

[tropic halo]

Update: managed to fix it, if anyone has the same problem go to https://discussions.unity.com/t/error-failed-to-add-editor-bundled-package-enoent-no-such-file-or-directory-mkdir/892409/3

anyway thanks for the help

[slow dirge]

So it was env variables after all..?

[tropic halo]

yeah...

but i couldn't find the one i used in the forms so i dont know where he got the one i used

[charred zealot]

anyone know how to handle this?
im trying to studying how game work, and imported some project file from github but all the prefab are missing went i open the file

[tropic halo]

are there prefab files in the assets files?

[charred zealot]

yeah there a prefab files

[tropic halo]

when entering the prefab files is there stuff visibily wrong? like missing scripts and stuff

[charred zealot]

i think no, i dont see any

[cyan lion]

my collider is acting weird. let me show you

[tropic halo]

it could be that the project is for another unity version

[cyan lion]

why is this happening. is the video working

[tropic halo]

try right-clicking in the project then press re-import all

[cyan lion]

can someone tell me

[charred zealot]

when i open it for first time it do tell me to get another unity version to open it and i just follow the guide

[charred zealot]

alr lemme try

[cyan lion]

i try changing clipping planes it just reverts back to default

[charred zealot]

still not working

[cyan lion]

i thought adjusting clipping planes would be the possible solution

[tropic halo]

check the github version it should tell you which version the project is in

[cyan lion]

ahh hello

i am also here 🥲

[tropic halo]

dont use a mesh collider for a shape like that use a box collider instead

[cyan lion]

wouldnt it make things harder? all walls are one mesh

[charred zealot]

its using unity 6, the same version im using rn

[strange oak]

Thanks, I got it working - and added a script that would let all items it's attached to "self-register" to the array (so that when I put in more and more streetlights via prefab, they populate the array by themselves

[tropic halo]

why would you make the walls one mesh?

it would be alot more stable and clean if each wall is it's own mesh

[cyan lion]

will box collider work when all walls are one mesh. also when is mesh collider used

[cyan lion]

because i made it that way in blender

is mesh collider useless here?

[tropic halo]

no a box collider would not work for one mesh, since you're using blender try spliting the mesh there

[cyan lion]

and are you sure this is a mesh collider issue or a clipping issue instead

[cyan lion]

ok

what is mesh collider's use case

[tropic halo]

mesh colliders are used for complex shapes but you should try to use them as less as possible since they're unstable and slow compared to other colliders

[tropic halo]

even if it doesn't fix it its still an important thing to do, it will save you from alot of headache later

[cyan lion]

also i cant change my clipping planes

i am using cinemachine camera

[rotund orbit]

Hello

[gusty abyss]

You dont need to, you can just modify that unity ui. Its made in a way where each thing can be modified, learn how to add rounded corners for background and for the scroll view then just use a color picker tool to get the same colors and you can make it

[maiden laurel]

I have a weird UI bug, in editor my panels stack correctly as expected, but in runtime android or within unity the panels order aren't correct

This is in editor but during runtime the panel is behind the other one

there is only one canvas, the panels are just images

anybody knows what's up ? I'm on 6000.0.58f2

I found the culprit !

[craggy pollen]

looks like a classic positioning problem

[maiden laurel]

it's just I'm stupid (usually the main problem)

[craggy pollen]

so what was it exactly

[maiden laurel]

I call a method openXXX (the panel is named XXX) but in reality it opens YYY

Hi guys. Im creating the first game drag&drop and i have code here
https://pastebin.com/vDssWguv
and I want the cube not to go beyond the camera and for it to have a distance from the mouse to see where you want to put it but the ratio changes I don't understand why I want it to be the same so that the cube has a small distance from the mouse and as you can see the code doesn't really help so that the cube doesn't go beyond the camera How can I improve my code?

[empty canyon]

Hi! Is there a built-in way to make a game object only visible in the editor? I use Houdini and build things out of primitive like cubes to use as input. These cubes ideally wouldn't exist when the game is played. I currently manually enable/disable the gameobjects when I need to see or adjust them, is there another way?

Wanna take a look at no DM rule cannot find in #🌱┃start-here

[storm wedge]

Is anyone else having problems with external API calls with Unity Play's game? I first thought it was UGS leaderboards so I tried a custom API that I made to test and I'm still getting the same error. on CSP. The exact same build works on itch.io no problem though but I don't know if other people are still able to do external api call on unity play but I even tried another game that had a leaderboard and it's broken. Can anyone help on what would be the best way to have someone help with this? https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-play-csp-errors-when-fetching-from-external-api/1702019 Not sure if here is the best place to post it either but I'm out of ideas

[shut cipher]

I see, maybe here, but DM may also not avoided

[potent geyser]

What's your obsession with DMs? This is a community server, there's no reason why you can't just do what everyone else here is doing and help in channel.

ssuperr101 was banned.

[opaque night]

I'll integrate llama in but it's not that i'm Lazy, it will just make the base of the game. Not the full game

[ocean locust]

hi everyone

im rapidly realising that one of the USPs of my game is going to be very hard to develop 😭 can someone wish me luck

[craggy pollen]

i wish you success

[high moon]

i bought an asset from asset store, but when i click open in unity on the asset, nothing happens

[ocean locust]

thank you!

who'd have thought a system where almost every item in the game has to have its own effects and interactions would be hard...

[craggy pollen]

no, you could use scriptable objects for that

[high moon]

can anyone help? do i have to create a project first and then click open?

[craggy pollen]

you need to import the asset into your project

[high moon]

its a full game file i believe

but ill try creating a project first

[ocean locust]

was this a reply to me or to ajrr

[craggy pollen]

to you

[high moon]

that was to you

[ocean locust]

right . should i explain what the system actually is and not be so vague

[craggy pollen]

i guess you could

[ocean locust]

the briefest way I can explain it is: almost every item in the game is an alchemical ingredient with its own properties, and many can also be crushed/dried/infused/extracted to make other ingredients

as it turns out, this leads to an insanely high amount of possible combinations and it's starting to scare me!

[craggy pollen]

sounds scary but nothing to worry about. just create a class put seriazeable on it and then you can edit all of the fields in the inspector for each item

or as mentioned use Scriptable objects in that case

[gleaming creek]

hey guys what channel do I go to ask for help(with images)

[ocean locust]

writing this down thank you
i'm honestly considering just working on the alchemy component for a while until it could almost be its own game, as it seems like the most unique thing about my project so far 😭

[craggy pollen]

id:browse

and if you are not sure after that, just ask here, you will be redirected

[gleaming creek]

oh so there's no general help channel, just a bunch of different types

[violet thunder]

There's this channel if it doesn't fit anywhere else

[gleaming creek]

ohh, idk, I'll ask here if that's okay

[craggy pollen]

go ahead

What the hell is unty bro

[gusty abyss]

no I know

You can claim a badge that says UNTY

i think its because its 4 letters max so they just put unty

I love unty 🔥

[cursive marsh]

Hi

[cursive marsh]

Can i ask you something ?

[slim frost]

Sure

[cursive marsh]

For 2d, you use a specific app or just unity

[slim frost]

2d game creation?

Unity

Unity can do 2d&3d

[cursive marsh]

For create something

[slim frost]

Create what?

A game? Or do you mean textures

[cursive marsh]

Character, object

[slim frost]

so the textures

you have to use a different program because u can't create/design textures in unity

[cursive marsh]

You create in pixel art?

[slim frost]

you can use photoshop or pixilart.com for example

[cursive marsh]

Ooh ty

[modest meteor]

aseprite is better than those tho

[cursive marsh]

Why is better

[modest meteor]

its got good ratings and used by a lot of people. you can look it up and see what makes it good i guess but its like the go-to tool for pixel art

[cursive marsh]

Ok

[modest meteor]

and it costs money but they also let you get it for free if you follow a tutorial to compile the source code yourself or something

[tall hearth]

ehh it really depends it doesnt have any support for anti aliasing so things like shading arent done too well with it versus other art software even for pixel art

[lethal mason]

why when im trying to start a new project in 6.3 unity it says that it failed to decompress

[mild radish]

possibilities:

• long file path (too long)
• insufficient disk space
• antivirus interference
• permission issues
• corrupt install

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[mild radish]

you can peep the log files for a better explaination of why it failed.. (probably)

[shadow heron]

I had no idea you could make your own preset and fiddle around with the noise settings 😱

[opaque night]

anyone here is interested in making a game with me?

[mild radish]

💯

as much as you've used curves in the past.. its suprising u havent

[shadow heron]

This is amazing, I always saw the "New noise settings" located in the noise profile but I never looked into it. I would always procrastinate and convince myself to look at it another time then I would completely forget about it lol. Now I regret it.

[opaque night]

what kind of game are you making?

[shadow heron]

Horror game, Right now I'm just working on the character controller. no where near completion lol

[opaque night]

oh that's cool. what kind of horror game? i wanted to make one too

[shadow heron]

Have no clue yet haven't gone that far. Lets not go off topic now 😅

[still yoke]

did something fundamentally change about how prefabs work in 6000.3 LTS?
Because im unable to assign default values to a prefab with a script on it... LIke in InputActionReference values... they are just not getting saved to my prefab-script when i drag them in the inspector...
Its really weird and not like every other version of unity i've used so far....

[mild radish]

are u modifying the prefab while its in the scene?

[still yoke]

no, its the prefab in the folder

[mild radish]

you'd need to Apply the Overloads at the top of the prefab

ohh nvm then

[still yoke]

or when i double click it and go into the prefab itself...

[thorny willow]

u experienced?

[still yoke]

and im trying to change the default values

[mild radish]

ya input references aren't scene-objects persay.. so not sure why u couldnt assign them as defaults in the prefab

[still yoke]

and i've used unity for like.. many years now --im not trying to flex by saying this, im just pointing out that this version seems to be acting 'strange' compared to every previous version.

[opaque night]

a little. i can make script and maybe assets

[thorny willow]

hmm ok dm me

[opaque night]

oh ok sorry

[opaque night]

i did

[mild radish]

ya, works fine in older versions.. this is 6000.0.6

i can test in 6.3 here after lunch

[still yoke]

please thank you, im wondering if its something to do with file write permissions on the newly created project folder/subfolders or something... i was getting another weird error about file permissions whilst trying to save a scene too...
again strange considering no previous version has given me any of these issues.

[mild radish]

are u using a list of inputactionreferences? or just individual fields?

could u try the opposite of w/e ur trying? if its a list try a single field..

[shadow heron]

Do you think I should have multiple camera's for the headbobbing like idle, walking, running and crouching? If I change pre-sets via script won't it look weird and snap to a different position?

[mild radish]

try Re-Importing the InputActions

[still yoke]

its a single field for each input action reference, i have tried both serialized private fields and public fields... i can drag them in an instance of the prefab in the scene...

..but again, i am trying to 'set' the default values for the prefab asset residing in the project folder

[mild radish]

you may have stumbled across a bug..

[mild radish]

ya i get you.. ^ that image i sent above is what i did too..
i assigned them via hte prefab view.. and then dragged hte prefab into the scene..

reference stays.. (in my case)

[still yoke]

and whether i do it via dragging and dropping or opening the window that allows me to select a specific one (i dont know what the proper name for that popup window is called tbh) -- it just doesnt 'set' the value...

ive restarted the computer it'll probably work now... im gonna try making a new project too, to see if that fixes it

[sour shadow]

Hello
I need help
whenever i try to sign into unity hub, it just wont
video:

[mild radish]

i'll test once i boot into it 👍 i shall ping you w/ results

[mild radish]

• try a different browser
• try clearing cookies/ browser cache
• try restarting pc/connection

[still yoke]

just to check im not insane.

[mild radish]

remove it from teh scene when ur adding to the prefab

i mean.. its a longshot.. but maybe the scene version is messing with it

[still yoke]

no difference

and again that shouldnt affect the prefab right.. because that would be an 'override' issue then... this is not assigning values to the prefab asset as it exists in the project folder.

[lethal mason]

is there anyway to like make the volumetric clouds less laggy on vr

[sour shadow]

thanks!

[mild radish]

yup, i don't think its just you

[still yoke]

oh thank christ.. because i thought it was my computer now.. because ive made a new project and it still doesnt work...

..but again, this behaviour is different to every version of unity so far.
--thank you so much for testing this out, at least i know its not me or my computer and its an issue with this version. i really cant overstate how helpful you have been.. i will just go back to a 'working version'

[mild radish]

works in older version but not 6.3

[sour shadow]

How long does it usually take for Unity Engine to install?

[mild radish]

half an hour tops

[sour shadow]

ok

[mild radish]

yea, i typically just avoid the newest versions for a while..

[sour shadow]

because it has been sittin like this for 5-7 mins

[mild radish]

im working w/ most of my projects on 6000.0.6 just b/c its the most stable ive experimented with so far

[still yoke]

yea but this is the version they are pushing as the latest stable version.. and prefabs dont even work as they should thats actually shocking lol

i mean how did nobody notice that

[mild radish]

ya, i personally don't believe the hype.. i see for myself.. and what i saw on my own was enough to downgrade

and now what you've seen confirms i made the right choice 😄

[still yoke]

yea as you can tell from the amount of progress ive made in that project... ive not really invested much time, i also went against my own rule and thought 'hmm maybe ill use LTS because thats the 'right' thing to do...
..but no we'll stick with the things we know work 😄

[mild radish]

just a helpful tip.. if for some reason it doesn't finish installing
you should just chose the editor

don't select the documentation (its all online and always available)
don't select any of the modules at first Just teh editor

[sour shadow]

it finished nvm

[mild radish]

you have a better chance of it working... and you can always go back and add the modules whenever u want

I just realized theres a prompt that pops up asking you to confirm a deletion from the Project window 👀

how have I completely missed that all these years? lol

[wraith pasture]

When did they switch to the new input system to be the default?

Oh nvm it's set to "both" by default

at least in 6.0 where I had created the project

[cyan lion]

Does screen resolution while using unity impact performance? Cpu gpu and ram?

My unity is crashing and i am using a laptop connected to a 4k monitor

[gleaming creek]

anyone who uses Visual Studio Code here for Unity, i have questions regarding intellisense

[vivid cedar]

of course - drawing more pixels requires more work

[cyan lion]

Will going to 1080p remove crashing

[wraith pasture]

you can also directly set the game window resolution

[vivid cedar]

Crashing is a totally different concern than performance

if you have crashes it most likely is not related to the resolution

[cyan lion]

My unity project crashes a lot. It is crashing when i open chrome. Its crashing after sometime

[wraith pasture]

Find out the reason by checking the logs

after baking.. is this a macos specific bug

Scene reload does not fix it all and the stop button looks ... uhh interesting

Restarting unity seems to work

[shadow heron]

The way I am making head bobbing is I have multiple noise profiles for cinemachine. Should I just use multiple camera's and switch between them for idle, walking, running, crouch idle and crouch walking. If I just switch between noise profiles it will instantly cause the camera to snap to a new position.

[mild radish]

[vast granite]

Hi everyone, quick question

I'm doing a project in Unity for one uni course and we've been instructed that we're allowed to use any assets we want (that we're allowed to use). Are we legally allowed to use FREE assets from the Unity Store that are labeled as 'Extension assets' if the project will be public on GitHub?

[pearl oyster]

No, but you typically wouldn't put them in Github even if the project uses them. People who clone the project can download the assets from the asset store themselves

[vast granite]

Ok, so we can't use the free assets even if we .gitignore them and list them that they are used in the project?

[pearl oyster]

No that is specifically what you can do. You can't upload the assets to Github

[vast granite]

Oh ok, thank you very much for the answer!

[flat breach]

hello, on a Canvas scaler,If I set the ui scale mode to scale with screen size, the reference resolution should be the one in my editor? the one I'm actually looking at when I'm placing uis?

[mild radish]

the desired resolution..

if u were to play it on whatever device.. at fullscreen

for ex. I use 1920x1080 b/c i dev for a desktop, a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor

[drowsy nest]

I’m working on a Unity project where I procedurally generate rooms and corridors (using TriangleNet for triangulation and A* for corridors).
I’m facing an issue: some walls aren’t being disabled when they should be (both room and corridor walls), and some walls are being disabled when they shouldn’t.
This happens even when the object positions are exact.

Each room and corridor has multiple walls (child GameObjects).
I check the proximity between walls and corridors to decide which walls to disable and where to instantiate doors.
I can share the full script if needed.

[flat breach]

yea but why would it be needed? the mode is set to scale

"scale with screen size"

[mild radish]

its a reference

[tidal ore]

i have 2 scenes, let's call it Scene1 and Scene2 and i have some systems in Scene1 but I want to have the exact same systems in Scene2, what's the best and most efficient way to do this?

[normal lark]

Add them to the "dont destroy on load"

Overall I recommend looking up the term "Singleton" you can find lots of good tutorials explaining how to do that sort od thing

[opaque night]

Hi, anyone here have advices to make a 3d infinite runner?

[tidal ore]

thank you, i'll look into that

[mild radish]

make those systems actually systems..
make them exist from the beginning.. and last thru the entire game..
they would be DDOL gameobjects (singleton / static gamemanagers for example)
only (1) instance of each would exist.. this also makes them easy to access via any other scene.
GameManager.myInstance.DoSomething(). they basically sit ontop/alongside any other scene you have loaded

[lavish lava]

what do any of these mean

i assume theyre important bc they wont go away when i clear

[near kraken]

Why is it that when my player collides with an object on the ground that is sticking out, the player starts to spin and keeps spinning even if i try to stop it

[mild radish]

b/c of forces..
its like if u stubbed ur toe in zero-gravity you'd start spinning until something else stopped you..

if its ur Rigidbody you can lock down those axis' and keep them from spinning using its Constraints

[craggy pollen]

yes what is the question

[river pumice]

anyone know how to fix players not showing up on playfab when u play test in unity

[lavish lava]

help! i cant find anything online bc it assumes its for code i wrote

[gleaming creek]

fixed it alr, thanks for replying tho

[craggy pollen]

glad you could fix it

[flat breach]

so it doesn't care what I give it?

[mild radish]

it should be the resolution ur designing the UI for..

[flat breach]

and if I want to design for multiple pcs? 😭

[mild radish]

the specifics on how it works im not 💯 sure.. i think it uses those numbers to help run the editor.. (like the game/scene windows)

and that scale slider it uses

[mild radish]

two options..

you design for both.. at the same time.. make the UI work w/ any size screen u think will be used.. you can do this with the correct anchors/pivots/ and the ui components like vertical and horizontal layout group etc..

or..

you design different UI's (prefabs for exampple) and then when the game boots up u find out the users specs and load the appropriate UI that works for them

multiple PC's dont really mean much tho.. most monitors all have the same aspect ratio.. 16:9

except for niche monitors, like an Ultrawide for example

[flat breach]

I don't understand anything about these layout components, could you possibly have a documentation on this please?

[lavish lava]

update: found a lot of things online saying to delete the library folder and reopen the project, ive done this, then again but also restarting unity hub, and again but restarting computer, and the issue still endlessly persists

[mild radish]

sometimes its difficult.. i just noticed my UI doesn't work for an UltraWide
it really helps when ur developing your UI to undock the window, set it to Free Aspect.. and just drag it around
Squish and stretch and see how the UI reacts..

you can get most UI to work w/ all kinds of aspect ratios

i could change it to use the Height over the Width on the scaler i suppose and that would fix that..

but it'd probably move the UI too.. (meh).. good thing im only developing for 16:9 and possibly 4:3

[craggy pollen]

when did this occur, what did you do

try to undo the steps

[lavish lava]

nothing

it just

happened

and its just like this now

[mild radish]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3sMD-3OJro this guy decent explaining the basics of anchoring

[craggy pollen]

does that happen when you opene a new project

[flat breach]

ohh okay didnt know this thank you so much man

[mild radish]

for the other components you'd probably wanna look them up as u need them

[lavish lava]

yeah, brand new project

hold on ill see what happens if i open an existing project

[mild radish]

like if u had a scroll rect, and needed a list of objects to fit no matter what you might could use the vertical layout group

[flat breach]

but I'm so bad at uis, how could I know what I need if I don't know what they do lol

[craggy pollen]

go to the packages and uninstall all packages that you dont need, seems like a version control error

under package manager

[lavish lava]

odd, i diddnt enable version control

[craggy pollen]

<@&502884371011731486>

mods, crush this guys reproductive future

[fierce urchin]

hey guys quick question im having an issue when i build my 2d platformer game where in the editor its working fine but when i build the player cant seem to touch the ground or even touch he just falls through

[mild radish]

lol.. unfortunately i dont know what to tell ya about that...
i discovered what the components do after many years of attempting to build things and figuring out later there was a component that did the same thing
im sure you can find you a tutorial or a page that explains most components and what they do

[flat breach]

I'll try to find ty bro

[mild radish]

content size fitter -> fits stuff inside other stuff
Vertical Layout group -> makes lists, images (the child objects), etc fit evenly within a container (it does the positioning automatically)
horizontal layout group -> same thing but horizontal (like Tabs)

thats about all i know bout em.. i've made most things using just those 3

[flat breach]

do you guys know why my panel doesn't scale properly?

[exotic relic]

in the transform area theres a box looking thing that has measurements in it.. can alt click one of the options inside of it to auto scale the panel to the canvas size

[exotic relic]

also right here where it says Free aspect, select your screen size

[flat breach]

you mean stretch stretch?

[flat breach]

ohh yea thanks it's scaled now, I'm so bad with uis lol..

[lavish lava]

i deleted plenty of things, even the entire package cache, and the errors still keep coming back

im gonna crash out

[craggy pollen]

update to the latest lts

no clue

[lavish lava]

using 6.1 btw

but yeah guess im goin to an earlier version 😭

[craggy pollen]

just to clarify, you did check the package manager right

[lavish lava]

yeah but tbh i diddnt really know what i was looking for, its a fresh project so not much was installed to uninstall

[craggy pollen]

there must be a package installed causing this.

it should be some package that has to do with collab or version control

[lavish lava]

might aswell just kill all collab / version control packages then since i dont plan to use collab or the built in version control

[craggy pollen]

yeah you can use git for that too

[lavish lava]

okay i Old Yeller'd version control and now it works

[craggy pollen]

well done

[lavish lava]

thanks :3, but also wtf Unity

[flat breach]

sorry to disturb you but when I set it to 1920x1080, there's still the issue

my issue was the background source image mb

I didn't know this was this causing that but its edges are curved

[gusty abyss]

should we be concerned with the white outline

[torpid cave]

i made a toon shader but now its causing blur and smear all over, how do i fix?

[flat breach]

that was the background causing this

[azure pond]

is the shader applied to the lcouds?

[stoic cypress]

I added an animation to a box but I don't want it to play on start, how do I do that I don't see any options

I have an idle animation how do I make that default because open is the default

[flat breach]

Right click set as initial state

[flat breach]

Don’t make it default

[stoic cypress]

sorry I was wrong idle is default but it plays open on start

never mind I messed with settings I fixed it

[flat breach]

Do you have any scripts accessing this animator?

[flat breach]

What was the issue ?

[stoic cypress]

I had a transition back to idle which I dont need so i removed it and then on transition i unclicked has exit time

[flat breach]

I don’t see any transition to idle ? And has exit time shouldn’t be the main issue

[stoic cypress]

yea I screenshoted that between troubleshooting I didn't unclick has exit time I think it was a combo of those 2 problems

Sorry to bother you sometimes I think of solutions before I get help

There are a bunch that follow “best practices”
git-amend, Jason Weimann, TheKiwiCoder
to name a few

But take anything you ever read or watch with a grain of salt.
& do your own research - usually within a couple Google search results you’ll see fellow Unity devs discussing “what the best way” to achieve some result is

I had no idea Unity has a Discord Server.

I have a question. Im making a side scrolling "Beat em Up" game. Im using 3d characters/animation. What's the best way to do the backgrounds?

I bought a template. And the backgrounds look like sets. But I haven't seen those type assets to buy anywhere.

And is there an asset that makes putting the backgrounds together easier? Or any tutorials you guys recommend? Im really lost.

[loud isle]

sorry that wasnt helpful

[fleet canopy]

what part of itdo you need help with?

to get rid of the warning you have to follow those instructions and upodate your code accordingly

[loud isle]

ok

[loud isle]

to get rid og the input manager notification

[fleet canopy]

yeah

update all code that uses the old input sytem

if you disable it outright (like the instructions) then it will error at runtime and that might help you find all usages easier if you dont know where to look

[torpid cave]

idk, the clouds and sky are just a fog shader, i just the skybox as fog

[loud isle]

ok i think i understand

[fleet canopy]

alright

there's generally not a best. just pick one that makes the workflow easy, usually png makes life easiest
make sure it's not something on unity's end, if it needs to be exact (for example in pixelart) set filter: point and compression: none in import settings (and also set ppu in the case of pixelart or anything that needs to conform to unity units)

The compression should basically be lossless, unless you're doing crunch compression.

It's more likely the issue is elsewhere.

Well in the scene the border for some reason is weird around the asset and this is high quality setting this here is fine but normal quality some of the pixels were messed up and im worried how it will be on ios and android i might be wrong but i tried an ios build yesterday and the art looked bad on a normal camera where it doesn't on my windows build i tried another camera a pixel perfect camera and it was better but maybe theres differences in how they look

if i do no compression the border is clean

Ayo

is the border really important?

the errant border would probably be for non-fully-transparent pixels, which i guess could crop up as compression artifacts, but it's not visible

[slow dirge]

Is it a sprite? Sprite renderer?

[oak meadow]

its not maybe i'm overthinking it it was just concerning seeing the normal quality compresion version

[oak meadow]

yes

Can you share the current settings?

[storm patio]

you should worry about the actual content that the player will see - you mentioned some of the pixels were messed up, is that significant?

[oak meadow]

these ones?

[slow dirge]

Mostly the texture import settings.

[oak meadow]

i mean it was pretty noticeable but its gonna be pretty small in the game so

[slow dirge]

It would also help if you show us how you expect it to look like(you said it's different without compression).

i was seeing stuff like this
