[oak meadow]

when it should be like this

[slow dirge]

This does look a bit like compression artifacts.

[oak meadow]

i just want low file sizes without any compression artifacts or anything

[slow dirge]

Is that with the settings above?

[oak meadow]

No but earlier i saw it with the normal quality

[slow dirge]

What settings did you use here?

[oak meadow]

low because i didn't see it with normal this time

[slow dirge]

Ok, so of course on low quality you would see compression artifacts.

[oak meadow]

its just to show kind of what i was seeing

[oak meadow]

but its weird just a second ago i didn't see it on normal quality

now its like the same as the low

[exotic relic]

Set the sprite mode to single

[oak meadow]

it still looks the same

i mean i will use high quality im mainly worried that high quality will have some artifacts too

[exotic relic]

Are you in scene view or game? In game you could be zoomed in or the resolution might be on “free aspect”

[oak meadow]

i'm in scene view

[exotic relic]

Ah. Right you could see how it goes with the high quality assets. And add anti aliasing if needed

[oak meadow]

ill look into that thanks

I think i'm also gonna swap to 256x256 assets from 128 will that help with the compression artifacts

[slow dirge]

Generally, if you want pixel perfect/pixel art, you shouldn't be using compression at all

It's not clear what look you're going for here.

[oak meadow]

well its not pixel art exactly i was just doing 128 for mobile but its not too much if i do 256 max for the assets i was gonna have it be 128 but it will take up 200=300 mb as 256x with compression and that will be fine

i need compression or that would be over a gb and im planning on doubling that number sometime after launch

[storm patio]

a 256x256px image with no compression with 4 channels(RGBA), 1 byte per channel takes up 256 KiB
you could have 4096 of those images before reaching a GiB

a 1024px*1024px image with the same channels takes 4 MiB, you could fit 256 of them in a GiB

[storm patio]

you might want to rethink your math here

[patent zinc]

how i fix this? 😔

[vivid cedar]

You should ask the publisher of the EasyInputs package

Looks like possibly a version incompatibility with the Oculus plugin?

[patent zinc]

Aw shucks

[potent moss]

is there some limit on how many audio sources you can have playing at once?

or can you just use however many you want?

[storm patio]

the computer's capabilities

but within the system, i don't think there's anything preventing you from using as many as you need

[storm patio]

oh, also the player's tolerance to information overload

[gusty abyss]

I'm losing my mind. I brought in a whole bunch of assets from my 3D software, they imported with the materials but I CANT edit any of them and I CANT extract the materials. THEYRE RIGHT THERE. Unity PLEASE let me edit them. Any clues?

[tall hearth]

yeah not how that works you get one or the other

[craggy pollen]

create materials inside unity and assign the textures

additionally in the import settings there are a few options to assign imported materials and textures automatically

[cyan lion]

in unity i am using reflection probes. it is not capturing reflection of transparent glass the way it should

its showing them in reflection as if they have white material attached on it

[craggy pollen]

[mystic light]

am i dumb for trying to run unity on a hdd ?

[potent moss]

is there some way to run or test unity projects online?

I assume no but thought I'd ask anyway

[fleet canopy]

you can build for web

[fleet canopy]

No but it’s going to be painfully slow

[mystic light]

then im dumb

[potent moss]

no I don't mean like the finished built application but the actual unity editor itself

[mystic light]

compiling scripts TOOK AGES

[fleet canopy]

they have this thing called unity studio (I think) but that not what you’re looking for likely

[mystic light]

everytime i changed a line in vsc and then opened the project it took so long

[fleet canopy]

The full editor itself cannot be run on a browser

[potent moss]

[gusty abyss]

unfortunately I have like 350 materials so it takes way too long to do so

[craggy pollen]

use the import settings as i mentioned

[shrewd zenith]

if i have a game oriented towards public matchmaking, is it smarter to focus on custom lobbies with mates for an indie dev?

[mystic light]

you mean P2P?

[naive fjord]

Unity 6.3.2f1 exhibits several issues across projects:

1. The rotation tool in Global Mode sometimes behaves incorrectly, rotating in large increments instead of smoothly.

2. Selection can get stuck on hierarchy objects or project folders. Restarting does not resolve it; it only corrects itself after time.

3. References assigned to prefabs or objects are frequently lost after saving and reopening. For example, input references cannot be reliably assigned, as they reset to "None" every time the prefab is saved and reopened.

any idea how to at least fix the 3rd problem ?

[shrewd zenith]

no, all dedicated server because my network tool doesnt have host migration. i just mean private lobbies

[storm patio]

i believe these are known/common issues. chances are you'll just wait for it to be fixed in a later patch
if you don't have a ton of work yet, you could consider changing to a more mature minor version

[naive fjord]

I can wait for the rotation tool and selection bug to be fixed, but I cannot wait for the third issue because it is causing significant problems. I ran some tests: even if I create an empty object in the scene and attach a script that requires an input reference, when I save it as a prefab, the prefab loses the reference.

[silent mica]

Can you reproduce this immediately after restarting?

[proven gust]

Hey, i apologise for the low effort question, but im looking for a free fps game asset i can mess around with. I want to make a poc for a personal project. Could someone point me in the direction of where i can find my options?

[bitter glacier]

Guys, I need help with Unity cuz it's not working, where can I go? I'm lowkey gonna crash out

[silent mica]

Here is fine

[bitter glacier]

What is this error? I keep getting it even after changing projects. I checked package manager and there is nothing about collab proxy. Like I don't get it. It's saying smth about SplitterState and protection level, it's weird

[naive fjord]

Yes. I noticed that all my prefab metadata files are incorrect. For example, these two metadata files correspond to complex prefabs, but their metadata is almost empty. I believe the main problem occurred when I upgraded from Unity 6.0 to 6.3.

I will delete this project and reopen a copy from the backup to see if the metadata still has the same issue.

[foggy gate]

Not sure why it complains of 1 C# script having Windows requirement, albeit it's also IFDEF'd by platform

The app builds and runs though, it's just a hint

#if UNITY_STANDALONE_WIN using WinFileBrowser = AnotherFileBrowser.Windows; #endif

[storm patio]

it's called version control in package manager iirc

[bitter glacier]

What should I do with it

[silent mica]

Tried deleting Library folder?

[naive fjord]

I did that, but the issue persists. I also created an empty project and made a simple prefab with a script that has references, and the same problem occurs, the metadata does not seem to work.

Before, I thought it was my Windows 11 setup, because I had noticed similar issues on Linux. I now also have a clean Windows 10 setup, but the same issue occurs on both Windows 10 and 11.

i will download older unity version 6000.0.64f1
and see if same issue...

[storm patio]

if you aren't using it, you could remove it.
the issue stems from some desync in versions iirc? i don't remember exactly

you could also try resetting the library

[signal vigil]

Probably a dumb question but I couldn't find a solution online. The keyboard layout shows a qwerty-layout, but my keyboard is qwertz. All other applications understand this, as I set my linux OS to use a german layout. Unity thinks otherwise. I could just rebind a couple of shortscuts manually but am curious where I can switch Unitys interpretation of the keyboard. Any ideas?

[storm patio]

does it affect shortcuts? i think unity might use keycodes directly (like in the input system)

[signal vigil]

Yes it does, I have to press different buttons to undo for example, which is the main source of annoyance 😄

Because undo is still set to strg+z, but Unity thinks my z-button is in the bottom left

[naive fjord]

i got good news lol
the problem wasn't unity version

It was the input system. I downgraded the input system to version 1.15.0, and everything works fine. The newest input system is 1.17. I also tried the version before that, but the same issue occurred. However, version 1.15.0 works well.

[storm patio]

to be clear, you want undo to map to ctrl+ [key next to T], correct?

apparently this was reported and fixed on linux
https://discussions.unity.com/t/ctrl-z-shortcut-not-working-with-non-english-keyboard-layout/740202/4
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/linux-default-shortcuts-for-different-keyboard-locations-are-physical-location-based-not-letter-based

what OS and unity version are you on?

[silent mica]

Some impressive effects from the package 🤔

[static pulsar]

Seems others have the same issue https://discussions.unity.com/t/german-keyboard-layout-works-for-typing-but-shortcuts-use-us-layout/1697886
I don't think the shortcut window itself localizes, it shows qwerty for me as well but the shortcuts work correctly (I'm also on qwertz and can use ctrl+z for undo). Win10 though

[naive fjord]

Yeppp,
I’ll just stick with version 1.15.0 for now. If I notice that the package has been updated, I’ll test it first before upgrading. never thought the problem will be from it tbh

[storm patio]

this channel, as with most channels here, is mainly for discussion and support of unity topics
do you have a question related to those? if so, don't ask to ask

[cyan lion]

i assumed its because of ram filling up cause both chrome and unity use lot of ram

as i was saying

[foggy gate]

What's your hardware specs though, good enough GPU with dedicated VRAM?

Cards with low amount will take VRAM from actual physical RAM and that is not a good thing

[cyan lion]

a rtx 3050 laptop 4gb vram.

yes i am lacking there from modern standards

isnt 16 gb vram the norm these days

[foggy gate]

But also try the Chrome without hardware acceleration because it will reduce VRAM use

[cyan lion]

chrome uses vram?

[foggy gate]

I mean it creates a whole rendering context for its page for high performance, if user wants it, might be on by default

[bitter glacier]

Ok that fixed it

Finally finished this

Both work over my local computer cuz I don't wanna pay for a server rn

[rose flicker]

How would I make a character with limbs and things?Do I use joints?

[tribal socket]

can anyone help me my steam games and unity made games are all crashing and not responding

[foggy gate]

Reinstall your graphics driver?

[tribal socket]

@foggy gate already did

Newest Nvidia game ready

Still crashes

Except I noticed it was only steam games

[storm patio]

this is a server for developing unity games, not for support with existing unity games

[tribal socket]

You know a server for that?

[storm patio]

maybe try a steam server, or i guess searching the internet

i don't, sorry

[tribal socket]

Got it

[raw merlin]

Hi, I have a small problem: I'm using the latest version of Unity (600.3.2f1), I have an i5 14600k and an RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, and when I move the mouse, there is sometimes a slight flicker (I tried to record it, but it doesn't appear, so I think it's a problem with my graphics card).

[safe garden]

Are mesh colliders generally quite expensive, can they be optimized with a setting or is it generally better to use a custom mesh imported as a collider? if you have a ring for example

[storm patio]

Are mesh colliders generally quite expensive
they're more complex than colliders of simple shapes, they're much more expensive than not having anything at all
everything is relative to something - consider whether you need it (do you need physics? do you need physics specific to the exact shape?) and then make it work (a mesh with less vertices would probably be less expensive than a mesh with more)

as with anything perf, don't worry until a) it becomes an issue, or b) you're dealing with something in the millions.

[storm patio]

a custom mesh imported as a collider
is that not also just.. a mesh collider

also afaik convex colliders are less expensive than a similar concave collider

[safe garden]

if you enable convex though I'm guessing you can't have stuff like holes that can be passed through, that kinda thing? just to optimize the mesh

ah this makes sense - "Basically the convex check mark will make a collider around your mesh without any ‘indented’ areas. Say your mesh is a jail door made out of bars. With a mesh collider you could still shoot between the bars. But if you check convex, unity will make a more optimized collider around all if the bars, but your not gonna be able to anything between them"

[storm patio]

yes, that's what convex means

with a non-convex collider, it's possible for a ray to intersect a mesh's surface more than twice, i'm guessing taking that into consideration is what makes it harder to simulate (i don't do 3d)

[signal vigil]

Interesting, I am using Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, Unity 2022.3.62f2

[quasi urchin]

What does that mean

[storm patio]

which part are you confused about

if you get more specific with your request for clarification, it makes it easier for me to actually write a clarification

i don't know what you already know

[quasi urchin]

"With a non-convex collider, it's possible for a ray to intersect a mesh's surface more than twice,"

Ray to intersect a mesh

[storm patio]

do you know what "ray", "surface", and "intersect" mean, mathematically?

(which one do you not understand)

[quasi urchin]

I forgot. 😳

[storm patio]

a ray is a line that extends infinitely in one direction, though in games, it may not extend infinitely
a surface is the "skin" of some object, not including the volume of that object
an intersection point of 2 objects is a point that is shared between both objects

hm, i guess the thing about a line passing through [shape] only passing through 0, 1, or 2 times only applies to circles (or spheres)
you could have a line pass through an entire side of a square if it were tangent to that side

i guess in this case tangents aren't considered

[quasi urchin]

Thanks.

That clarifies. 👍🏼

[storm patio]

-# uh, you know what tangents are, but not rays?

[quasi urchin]

No. I don't remember what a tangent is.

It's been a while since I've taken a math class.

[storm patio]

a ray can pass into or out of a convex shape only 0, 1, or 2 times

that's not true for a non-convex shape

[shadow heron]

I have this head bobbing feature where I made different perlin noise profiles via cinemachine and different camera's so I am switching between them so if I am idle it will switch to idle cam if I move it will move to walk cam etc. My issue is that when I do any of the movements it works and switches camera's but the camera's are glitching like crazy and before switching I can't look around for a few seconds then stops glitching. Any idea's? here is the script I am using to switch but I am assuming it might not be the script: https://paste.ofcode.org/3aPAD5574nBqC8Yfzn2QrR5

[quasi urchin]

I believe that part of the issue is that you are switching cameras every frame.

Only switch when the state changes

This works but the point of me using different cameras were that it would smoothly blend when moving. The one you made just changes the noise profiles and its not smooth it snaps to a new position.

[storm patio]

(consider not spoonfeeding, btw)

[quasi urchin]

Oh, mb.

[quasi urchin]

I'm not even spoonfeeding.

Trying to help here. 😭

[storm patio]

posting code like that is spoonfeeding, ik it does seem like a good way to help

[quasi urchin]

Pasting code ≠ spoonfeeding.

I often paste code when I help. Not spoonfeeding.

I will no longer reply to this thread conversation (what we're discussing rn). Have a nice day!

[exotic relic]

I know this isn’t my convo but; in my opinion I’d rather give or receive the full function, I learn by reading what’s correct. Seeing something actually work is great material to look through. Rather than spending time with stuff that doesn’t work.

[storm patio]

explanations come first, that's the point of "don't spoonfeed"

why it's correct is more important than seeing an example of the correct thing

especially with full classes or methods, if it's a small tweak, sometimes it's hard to see what changed, and why

there's a reason this is a rule on stackoverflow and in some more active spaces like djs

[exotic relic]

I agree with that. I was just trying to say it’s ok to give people code

[storm patio]

they are helpful, yes - but they could be made much better, and honestly a lot of the time just explaining what you did wrong and what the right way would be is easier than rewriting stuff

[storm patio]

it is, yes. it's not ok to just give people code

[exotic relic]

That’s sort of how I learned to code, over years of experience. I play with something that works and research the pieces in it to be able to expand. Eventually creating from blank

[storm patio]

the code pasted was a rewrite of half the class, and all the operating logic, with a very, very brief explanation that does not justify all the changes - that's why i'm saying it's spoonfeeding

[storm patio]

and research the pieces in it
this is the crucial part. getting a piece of code custom made apparently to solve your exact issue makes it easy to forget this part - sometimes easy for someone who doesn't want to learn to avoid that part, making that person a repeat asker for similar questions

[exotic relic]

That definitely makes sense

That’s gonna be something tough for people since AI is pretty productive. At least chatgpt does explain in depth its reasoning. I will always advise people to truly learn and research

[storm patio]

chatgpt is really good at appearing thorough

part of that is being correct, but it's not 100% - that's not the objective of an LLM

genAIs made for chatting will never be fully reliable for learning

basically every technical community i'm in has concluded that genAI is a hindrance to learning lol

[exotic relic]

It can certainly depend on your question. Your prompt and key words matter. I know what you mean by it can’t learn, but it does simultaneously read API docs

[quasi urchin]

True, but there are often halluciations/gaps.

[storm patio]

i did not say it can't learn

that's.. how LLMs work, that's how ML works

but it's important to recognize what it's learning
chatgpt is learning speech patterns, not facts

some of the speech includes facts, so it can restate facts

but facts are not fundamental to the speech pattern

[exotic relic]

It has significantly improved over time. I definitely could see where a year ago it may hallucinate. But with the right question you can get what you want

Knowing how to code really helps

[storm patio]

its believability has improved, that is the core metric of an LLM

its factuality has improved to further that goal, but that's not the main objective of an LLM

with the right question you can convince the LLM to output something satisfactory, convincing - that isn't synonymous with correct

[exotic relic]

I both wish it didn’t exist, but at the same time to the right people it can really save time.

[storm patio]

heh, to middle managers...

(to be clear, that's a joke, not a contribution to the actual discussion)

[exotic relic]

I’ve made several games in the past before ai existed, and now a lot of those long hours of debugging is gone because it spots it fast

[near wigeon]

dam how many times has this horse been beaten

[storm patio]

yeah i was about to just leave ngl

[exotic relic]

Truly knowing how to code is important

I hate when people copy from ai and have no idea what it gave, even though it’s the right code… people use it wrong

[near wigeon]

people use it wrong
the trope of "AI" enthusiasts

[exotic relic]

I can’t stress how beneficial actually knowing how to code is, especially when explaining what you are looking for

[near wigeon]

with experience comes the realization of how little it offers beside maybe "basic clerical work " But Ima leave at that, we used to have a #1352599815770341479
but thats now a new channel so no dumping ground anymore :\

[storm patio]

aw, i can't redirect people into the echo chamber anymore

[near wigeon]

yeah now that mods have changed scope of it , its pretty dead 😂

[exotic relic]

Well off topic but it has also helped so much with real applications. For example one thing I took my car to a mechanic and they couldnt figure out the issue, but I facetimed chatgpt and after a little bit of looking around the answer was solved.

Im not gonna explain more situations cuz this is unity... lol.. but honestly ive been saved plenty of times by this thing

[charred fog]

It will help spotting obvious things and is completely useless at debugging anything more complicated that that. While you are stopping your own improvement/learning

[craggy pollen]

i miss the time when we used to spoon feed newbs

now that ai is around its rare

[exotic relic]

now they all just get it from ai 😭

[charred fog]

Creating a thread scoped to a more narrow discussion would be fine to redirect to. News channel was not a good place for it and was taken over by clanker adventures.

[exotic relic]

Hilariously tho, in two cases someone showed me code that was incorrect made by ai, but it was because they explained their questions wrong to ai.. i was able to get the right answer

[storm patio]

could we have a dumping ground for people trying to shill AI

just a /dev/null for everyone else, basically

[charred fog]

Thread here will be fine. (not to shill but for focused discussion)

[exotic relic]

well id hate a ai channel for dumping nonsense about it, but it would be cool to have it seperated [Cool things ai made] [Where ai went wrong]

Anyways tho, smart humans and real knowledge + research is always key

[charred fog]

It is counter productive to have it anywhere public, because bunch of brainwashed people would hammer it and waste anyone's time who would try to engage.

[exotic relic]

Thats certainly true

[near wigeon]

using sentis (now inference engine) at least has more interesting uses

[exotic relic]

ooh thats right unity did add a AI button now, honestly I am not gonna use that, I really prefer chatgpt.

[near wigeon]

also Sentis was a badass name, so disappointing they changed the name to such generic crap

[near wigeon]

Sentis is nothing related to the built in AI crap unity added in editor, its for using LLms and do cool shit in unity game with them or maybe applications if you want

[exotic relic]

My bad, I did a quick google search and unity came up and mentioned it

[near wigeon]

so think maybe using hand gestures to control a character or something

[exotic relic]

but... yes unitys new editor came with a AI button...

[charred fog]

fyi, you can use right click menu to hide it (services)

[near wigeon]

yeah big reason I'm still on 6.0

[exotic relic]

oo thnx

no offense but I mean... stuff like apple ai, google ai, copilot, i just dont trust that stuff yet. chatgpt is it if I need

[silent mica]

Barracuda was a pretty cool name too 😛

[exotic relic]

Very speedy

[near wigeon]

they just love killing what made unity cool in the first place don't they, must be to conform to "industry standard"

[near wigeon]

most of those are just layers ontop of gpt anyway..

[storm patio]

i mean, my intention is basically to have that echo chamber so those brainwashed people can waste their own time without affecting anyone else
but i guess that just wouldn't work in an official server

[exotic relic]

I know and the paramaters mess it up... its annoying

we dont need ai in absolutely everything we own.... keep it to one place..

more and more comes until it collapses I guess

[tawny quail]

Luckily the unity one is an opt-in install (except for the button itself); don't want that in my project

[exotic relic]

idk what you mean cuz in the new editor the button was automatically showing up and giving tips

[near wigeon]

ai has become the new buzzword, even soccer moms are using it for "normal day to day tasks" and misled

[exotic relic]

oh yea haha, i was like wait.. how did you know..

my mom sent me a screenshot of something from chatgpt to explain why shes right 😑

[tawny quail]

in a new 6.3 project. It's opt-in

[exotic relic]

i mustve accidentally clicked it then cuz i didnt see a X button

[tawny quail]

lol

[exotic relic]

i know i uninstalled it from package manager tho

[near wigeon]

its like now how every project new I make with Unity 6.0.33f VC is broken..who even asked it to be part of the template

[tawny quail]

Even if made as a local project? Or is the package itself exploding

[near wigeon]

yeah the project itself has broken Library errors, so I remove package they're gone

[tawny quail]

Amazing

[exotic relic]

Smart people have trouble working together though because each are very confident in their own methods

[near wigeon]

love it

[exotic relic]

Errors in a new project is just practice for new people to gain patience before they begin this journey

[near wigeon]

now I either need a custom URP template minus VC, or remove VC package Every new project

all because unity likes to pull weird shit like this

[tawny quail]

If only they let you select packages on project creation

[near wigeon]

if you didn't know you had to remove VC project this can throw off someone new

[exotic relic]

oo thats an awesome idea

[storm patio]

yknow, why can't you choose like, an empty template
without even the 2d/3d/etc "feature" and the packages that come with them

[near wigeon]

never understood why they never did that..its so easy to do in hub.. literally just a fucking checkbox

they do it for modules, why not packages.. just keep the core ones grayed out

[tawny quail]

Yeah, would be so helpful

[gusty abyss]

how can i make the pivot ori face the right way as the laser is ment to go up and down

[fiery sedge]

sup

[near wigeon]

cant you just make another gameobject as "pivot" / firepoint and point whoever you want. You need a modeling program to fix pivots otherwise

[gusty abyss]

Well I imported it after making it in blender I had empty game objects for the pivots but Unity did not like keep their orientation

[near wigeon]

are you actually using Local pivot mode or global, what do you mean did not keep their orientation

also make sure its not in "Center" mode that can throw you off in their location

[gusty abyss]

In blender I had the orientation set to default with normal I angled the pivot for it to be perfectly aligned with the model and I imported it into unity and it sort of made all the blender empty objects not have their orientation or something or is just maybe axis?

[near wigeon]

I meant in Unity. this thing

[gusty abyss]

I will try when I'm home

[flat breach]

hello I have a whole transparent png file with multiple message bubbles images, is there a tool in unity which would make me able to cut it to get the bubbles one per one?

[flat breach]

or another tool outside

[balmy kettle]

the sprite editor?

[near wigeon]

sprite editor

if you need external program, use gimp

[flat breach]

right bruh I forgot about this.... sorry but I really feel dumber everyday

[flat breach]

thank you bro

[cyan lion]

looks good, u made this in blender?

[cyan lion]

no smart people are nerds and cant socialize so they have trouble working with people who talk. (sarcasm)

[gusty abyss]

Ya

But pivots Ori didn't get transferd?

[cyan lion]

what is this exactly

it looks like a reactor

[gusty abyss]

Is it a known thing how Unity doesn't respect the theme of your OS

I have mine set to dark mode

[cyan lion]

unity's ui is kinda outdated too

they need to update it with something better

[gusty abyss]

so its not just me alr

[modern estuary]

this is why i use linux

[gusty abyss]

im on Linux

im facing this issue

[modern estuary]

ic

what desktop environment are u using

or wm

could be a problem with your gtk config

[gusty abyss]

Arch with GNOME

[modern estuary]

ic

i use hyprland

[gusty abyss]

maybe its just an arch gnome issue

[modern estuary]

i think i see the issue

adwaita is light mode by default i think

i believe adwaita has a dark version so try setting that

[gusty abyss]

I always have it on dark

[modern estuary]

what are all the optons

[gusty abyss]

thats it

this is the entire page

[modern estuary]

damn

try installing lxappearance and using that

[gusty abyss]

extension?

[modern estuary]

no

different application

[grizzled gust]

any idea, why the light passes partially through walls? its realtime lighting and nothing is baked (procedurally generated map).

hello, I want to make a dialogue system, should I make it on my own knowing it will work or should I watch an appropriate tutorial to make sure I do it "the best way"? this is a question I often ask myself

[storm patio]

depends on what you want to do tbh - do you want to get one working asap, or do you want to try your hand at designing and implementing one?

to be blunt, if you're making this yourself for the first time, it's probably not going to be great. but it can still be fun
(you should still consider looking at existing systems afterwards to try to see how you can improve it regardless though)

[flat breach]

I just want a good working system so this isn't like I need it asap, but yea I think I'll make it by myself first and then see on yt for existing systems

[storm patio]

(i tried making a beatmap interpreter for a rhythm game a few years ago when i was starting out game dev. i shudder to think what jank i put in there)

[west lake]

is there a channel for just organization tips for projects? or is general fine

[west lake]

from my experience, doing things on my own has always been superior. when i follow tutorials or other people’s methods i end up confused later down even if it works in the moment. whenever i do it myself i feel like i know the ins and outs, and where it fails the most

[flat breach]

frrrr bro, but the little "issue" I find in my case when I code is I always end up making a really simple script, I'm not sure if that's an issue though

[hard forge]

I’m gonna start on a psychological horror kind of indie game, I’m new to unity so what should I start with? I usually go models -> building -> lighting, vfx and stuff -> script -> sound. Idk tho

[shadow heron]

Why is it literally impossible to smoothly transition a noise profile to a different one? I am using movetowards and sometimes its smooth and sometimes its not. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
https://paste.ofcode.org/UaRxmXy5F9DvUrkpVaE2VX

[rancid whale]

MoveTowards isn’t smooth if i recall correctly. Third parameter is “maximum delta” (change in value this frame)
I’d recommend using Springs (Ryan Juckett implementation) or SmoothDamp

There’s a great video from Toyful Games about how they use Springs for smoothness / “game feel” in general

We should have a mega thread about smoothness. It’s a popular reoccurring topic

Wats stopping unity from giving 3d rigidbodies a gravity scale in the inspector

Is there a divine entity corrupting the minds of the ceo telling them to just not add small things that would make sense to have

[balmy kettle]

you do know that 2d physics and 3d physics use entirely separate implementations, right? 2d physics is Box2D and 3d is PhysX, it's entirely possible that physx doesn't do individual gravity and that it wouldn't be as simple as just adding a gravity scale property to the inspector

[gray frigate]

Changing the frequency is problematic.

here's sin(x*f) as I vary the value of f

notice how the value at, say, x=30 dramatically changes

additionally, you're switching noise profiles entirely when you change movement states – that's not going to be a smooth change

[flat breach]

hello guys, I'm making a note system but I can't find what else the system needs to have, this looks really small https://paste.ofcode.org/UsJXU7FHRW8J6dYVYbKmPp

[gray frigate]

To vary frequency over time, you'd want to manually sample the noise with a time variable that counts up each frame

so you'd do noiseTime += Time.deltaTime * currentFrequency;

Happy New Year!!!

[strange moon]

Im having problems with il2cpp and aot. How do I know if code is aot or not? Any options to check it?

[strange moon]

Its feature complete? Great! Thats something that is hard to achieve

[plain dagger]

when using il2cpp all code is "ahead of time compiled" and JIT compilation is no longer supported

[strange moon]

Does unity tell me if its not aot compatible or do I need to specifically compile il2cpp?

[plain dagger]

You cant know till it happens. You will get an exception if something that would be JIT compiled is not possible.
Usually its generic class usage for types that did not have the variant compiled

[strange moon]

I have the issue that I compile unity project including a plugin dll. I suspect the dll to not be aot compatible. At runtime I get nullptr

[plain dagger]

whats the actual exception?

the exception is very clear when this actually happens

It wont cause null ref and if you get an actual SIGSEG null deref then thats something else

[lethal mason]

when i click create hand copy for some reason i get an error. it let me do it before now its starting problems

[strange moon]

Exception: YoxaSecureVariable failed decrypting Data: YoxaSecureVariable failed decrypting Data becauase RealtimeSerialization.ToObject returned NULL

Id expect to see a better exception so its probably not this.
Does this work with mono?

[strange moon]

Yeah works with windows build. could be more issues underneath as well

[flat breach]

are you kidding?

😭

[north apex]

if i do Unity Personal, what are my limitations?

i googled it and 200k per year, which is 16.7k a month. I don't think I'll exceed that.

[potent geyser]

So then you don't need a license. You only need it if you exceed the thresholds.

[sleek forum]

how do i encrypt save data in unity

[potent geyser]

You can't. Store the data on a server if you truly don't want someone to see it.

[sleek forum]

ok

how long does it take to learn unity before mastering

[north apex]

this says i need a liscense or something

[potent geyser]

You need a personal one, that's just a formality to use the engine. It costs nothing.

[north apex]

ahh

[sleek forum]

do these ai apps actually help u witht unity coding

[plain dagger]

You must have had a license before so this is not new

It probably vanished because you did not update for years

[north apex]

my project isn't showing up and importing it doesn't make it show up either.

[plain dagger]

You can add any project from disk

[near wigeon]

no

[sleek forum]

so they are a scam?

[north apex]

importing it doesn't make it show up either

[plain dagger]

doing this?

[north apex]

hold on it worked

[near wigeon]

can't say specifically for that one but you wouldn't want something spoonfeeding you mostly incorrect answers, you also won't learn much

[plain dagger]

Now you can install a later 2019 version using the hub button on the download archive page
make sure you start using source control or make a backup before opening the project in the later version

[north apex]

should i just updated it to current?

[plain dagger]

Yes the latest 2019 version avaliable

upgrading major version will be riskier and may break things

2019 is pretty damn old so ideally you want to go to unity 6

[north apex]

should i redo the project from scratch?

in unity 6

or upgrade and see what errors I get?

[plain dagger]

No but you may notice some issues or have code that needs updating

but 98% of the project should work fine

or even 100%

[north apex]

ok

it's trying to do the 6.3 LTS

as default

[stuck flower]

yes

[gusty abyss]

Any way to fix the issue where my Preferences just aren't saving?

I set them and then exit and they just don't save

[slow dirge]

How are you debugging/confirming it?

[gusty abyss]

I only change 2 a color and the object placement and I set it to Scene Origin and Purple so I test by placing an object in or seeing if the color changes

[slow dirge]

Thta doesn't seem like a reliable way to debug. Add logs wherever you save and load the data and print the actual values. Make sure that save and load run where you expect and with the expected values. And that the values are applied to your scene setup.

[gusty abyss]

I mean editor preferences

This thing

[slow dirge]

Oh

Try ctrl + S before closing the editor maybe.

[slow dirge]

Seems like a common issue.
People mention ide packages being the culprit:
https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-preferences-not-saving-how-to-fix/713615/19

[gusty abyss]

I am on 6.3

and I don't use an IDE I use the build in GNOME text editor

[slow dirge]

Did you delete all the packages then?

[gusty abyss]

I never had a IDE

[slow dirge]

It doesn't matter. The packages are installed regardless.

Other than than I'd suggest looking for clues in the logs.

[gusty abyss]

so uninstall the Rider package and the VSC package?

[slow dirge]

There's another solution later in the thread. Specifically for Linux(and seemingly Mac too) users.

[slow dirge]

Yes.

[stiff heart]

HOW do you change the color of an object without changing the material color ive been trying for like 4 days 😭

[gusty abyss]

texture change

[near wigeon]

the material is what the shader is rendering

[gusty abyss]

im quite confused by this question

[slow dirge]

You don't. Why can't you change(modify) the material?

[stiff heart]

i can but when i do it changes all the materials which changes the color of all parts with it

do i gneuinely just have 35 different colored materials

of the same texture

😭

[rancid whale]

You mean the “tint” that can be applied by editing the abledo color wheel thingy?

[stiff heart]

yeah

[rancid whale]

You’d have to duplicate that material for each variation AFAIK

[slow dirge]

Basically, yes. You can do it via code.

[stiff heart]

sighs

okay time to figure THAT out

[slow dirge]

Or manually by duplicating the materials.

[near wigeon]

or just clone and change each instance 🦥

[gusty abyss]

sudo chown -R "$USER":"$USER" ~/.config/Unity ~/.config/unity3d ~/.local/share/unity3d

got this command ill try to see if it works

and removing those packages did not help

guess im finding out where the config files are at

[north apex]

updated to latest, let's see what happens

one major compile error, do i have to remake the input system?

how do i go to 2d view?

Current state of gta 6:

[fleet swift]

Hey folks, imagine diving into a mobile sandbox where YOU call the shots—no PC required, just your phone! We're building a UGC platform on Unity 6, like a mobile Helix or FiveM, but tailored for iOS/Android. Create custom RP/Life servers with factions, jobs, and economies; Anime worlds, roleplay, survival, freeroam chaos with car tuning and parkour. All via simple touch editors—drag primitives, slap on textures, script events visually, and upload to the cloud

[north apex]

how do i hide an item in view but not disable it in game?

i'm working on different UI systems and stuff now

[slow dirge]

If we're talking about the scene view, you can click the eye icon on the left side of the hierarchy next to the gameobject.

If we're talking about the game view, then the only way is to disable the renderer(or it's gameobject)

[north apex]

oh thanks i didn't even notice that

there's no eye icon by default

[gusty abyss]

when you mentioned anime I hated the concept

[slow dirge]

What unity version are you using?

[north apex]

latest one now

i just didn't notice since that area was normally blank unless you hover over it

[fair cove]

How do you plan to provide event scripting to players? And does that require players to have a deep understanding of whatever interpreting language youll use?

[fleet canopy]

script events visually
they seem to want to make visual scripting/block coding

[fair cove]

To my understanding, visual scripting with blocks still needs to be compiled and processed in some way, its just in the editor thats done "under the hood", in a build you dont have access to the compiler, so thats why I was curios how he plans to approach that feature, visual or not

[fleet canopy]

ah, that was more so to clarify if players need a deep uunderstanding of the language which is unlikely with the block coding

[fair cove]

Oh good point, they may still need to understand how to structure logic to make certain features, though that would be different than understanding the actual scripting language (although to some extent they may need to understand some technical concepts like what components are for example)

[gusty abyss]

is it just me or does Light mode in Unity look hideous

[thorn gust]

Sorry

[stuck flower]

[fair cove]

I would suggest looking at the minimum specs to run Unity, and at the minimum specs to run the games you want to play, and then find a laptop that meets or exceeds those specs from whatever retailers are in your country or online places like Amazon if they deliver in your country - and ofcourse price will vary depending on your budget and where your getting it from, and keep in mind, while it has the advantage of being mobile, a laptop has a much shorter lifespan than a PC and cannot be upgraded over time so that may be a factor in your budget, depending how often you plan to use it

[next fable]

can someone help me with unity versoin controll

i dont know how to see what my friend put in our game

[cyan lion]

[cyan lion]

Get a pc if you don't need to travel or take a laptop with you. Even then right now ram prices are higher than usual. I am not saying to wait if you want it buy it but just that you may be able to get a better deal once prices go back to normal. Also i own a gaming laptop and regret buying. I have used it for four years now and i will be switching to a pc as soon as i get a budget to get a good one.

[slow dirge]

Well, it's kinda hard to help you without any context. Did you read through the manual/learn how to use it?

[thorn gust]

Ye but I won't have a deck my mom is taking it out my room and won't I need to buy all the parts to make it

@cyan lion

[tiny silo]

I have a question but it's more of a general one that I want input on before I go ahead with what I want to do.
I'm looking to make a checklist of challenges for my game. For clarity on what that looks like, I attached an example from Smash Bros for Wii U. I have a rough idea of the kind of system I'll need in order to make it work and to have wildly different things able to contribute to the list of stats I may need to check for.
So my question is if having a static class that has DontDestroyOnLoad activated is the best approach? And if it's perhaps a bit excessive to have all of the variables that will be checked for various challenges also be static? Or if not, should I leave them public and have them be editable that way? I've set up the list and it's looking like around 60 different variables will be involved in the various challenges

I'm just trying to be extremelyu thorough in asking here because it's the kind of thing where if a challenge doesn't track, it can cause a lot of issues for players and be pretty difficult to detect without a strong enough design acting as the foundation

I hope that all made sense

[tiny silo]

Okay actually it seems to work fine, but I have a new issue. I'm using enemies defeated as an example, so each enemy defeat adds 1 to the total. But when this happens, I want it to check for if the threshold that clears the challenge has been hit. Like, if the threshold was 50 enemies for example. So my idea would be instead of directly incrementing, it would run a function that increments the value and then checks if it passes the threshold. But would I really have to make this kind of function for every single stat that needs to be checked? Which as I said is looking to be around 60. Surely there's an easier way?

Idk if I've explained all of this well so I can answer any questions

[solar panther]

Bruh, I'm getting suck for coding to get some stupid errors.

[storm patio]

(not a final answer, just some things i'd like to point out as a read through)

• you can't have a DDOL static class, DDOL would need to be on a component instance. perhaps you meant singleton?
• in general, there's no single "best" approach. there are several viable ways where some might work better in different situations, that depends on a lot of factors

my answer after reading through both messages is i guess, consider trying the observer pattern. i think it'd be easier to manage if each challenge handled itself

[storm patio]

you're gonna have to give some info if you'd like help, don't ask to ask

[tiny silo]

Yeah I've sorta gone for this approach in the end. I bundled challenges into smaller groups. It's not terribly clean but it should be easy for me to work with and understand, which is all I need

dose unity not have a dragger that lies up objects to like a meshes face

2. Editor PC, visual scripting, block coding - mobile

[fleet swift]

This is just an example: content (anime, RP, survival) depends on the players and creators, our platform is not mandatory like anime servers

But it won't be a competitor to ROBLOX.

Essentially, this project is "if Fivem and Helix, or even Garry's mod, were created on a smartphone," where popular RPG, survival, PvP, freeroam, anime-themed servers are often included.

We will also have our own asset marketplace

why dose unity not have this as a feature

No idea. we have vertex snapping and thats it

if you are trying to place lots of primitives like this then you should stop and make a model in 3d software instead

(which will be a better experience)

[gusty abyss]

its a pivot for the lasers

it aligns with the faces ori

You can use the filled type to make it move. You can put that inside a masked image that is rounded.

You gotta figure out your own asset importer without relying on the built in unity things, I think. That's a strong start

[twilit plume]

what submeshstartindex is used for?

[random wyvern]

Yea, I was hoping that I maybe might be able to use AssetBundles but sadly they can only be created in the editor from what I saw

and update the text after each keypress

I also type into a TMPro Text Element..
I update the text manually and also the carat..
every (X) seconds i add it and remove it to make it blinky

[pine eagle]

wait are you talking to me?

[mild radish]

@pine eagle ☝️ textField.text = buffer + (showCursor ? "|" : ""); <-- textField being the tmpro element..
and just updating the .text variable

[mild radish]

yea i was replying to this.. but maybe im confused..

u mean the text works correctly except the carat?

[charred fog]

Make sure you are testing the component at runtime as well.

[pine eagle]

the input is working but the text is not showing up

[mild radish]

💯 .. i was just curious b/c the text element in the inspector doesn't seem to show anything in it

[mild radish]

update it w/ the string ur inputting..

yourTextElement.text = theStringYouHaveInputted;

[charred fog]

You've made some changes as well. Drop a default component and see how it works. Then compare what you've changed.

[charred fog]

Does the text element contain the actual text in the inspector?
I see

[pine eagle]

I am just tired guys I have been trying to figure this out for ages I tried ai everything I just dont understand

[pine eagle]

no its empty

I just typed there so you can see that its not showing

[mild radish]

just a helpful tip.. relating to this.. sometimes u work against urself by trying to power through something..
sometimes a good nights sleep can reveal the issue.. u may be overlooking

[pine eagle]

I have slept already this is not first day I am trying to solve this

[mild radish]

try using a different TMPro element.. just to test real quick.. and see if it works w/ a different one

[mild radish]

im not sure i've ever seen this before.. the cursor has moved like the text is there..

but its not visible

[charred fog]

It looks like its misconfigured, it's either size of the text pushing it out or something else. Examin on the default component and compare what it is

[mild radish]

well ^ that may be not visible b/c its White text on White background(if it is indeed white font.. cant tell from the inspector)

[pine eagle]

the thing is the place holder

[mild radish]

i agree with fogsight ^.. the text may update.. but just be pushed off the side or down below or something

[mild radish]

click the rect tool and drag down that white line below Text to chat ^ down to the bottom of that yellow line

[silk owl]

any possibility because your text is out of the canvas range? If not just think i said some stupid words

[pine eagle]

its inside canvas

[charred fog]

@pine eagle Also next time, please use dedicated channel #📲┃ui-ux

[mild radish]

can u try dragging the white line to see if the text maybe there below Text to chat..

it may be possible that long string u typed w/o spaces dont fit and filled below it

[mild radish]

^ yes.. this.. same concept but in his "text element" range..

it could be cut off yes

maybe move to ui-ux tho.. as fogsight said..

you'll have better luck over there considering this is specific to ui

[rare holly]

Who is the owner of this server i need to talk to them about a admin on here

[pine eagle]

I just dont understand

[storm patio]

you can message @karmic maple

[rare holly]

Thank you

[pine eagle]

idk I feel like I have tried everything

[silk owl]

remove and create new one?

[mild radish]

that's what i do when "i've tried everything" lol

[pine eagle]

ok sec

[mild radish]

make the thing that u cant make by - it -self

if its the only thing in the scene.. theres nothing that can cause it to be broken...

once u get it working in the scene by itself.. u know 💯 that it works..
and you'll know the steps u took to make it work by itself..
if u go and then try to add it to a system or setup u already have you know
whats supposed to happen.. and whats supposed to work.. and if u run into a step that doesn't seem like it was
in the isolated version u can stop right there.. and u can contend with the issue

[charred fog]

@silk owl This is not the place for promotions

[silk owl]

ei, understand but it's not a business project, i wouldn't do this anymore

[little haven]

How far?

[pine eagle]

I deleted everything

and started again

and its still

not showing

[charred fog]

Since you are starting again, might as well move this to the correct channel #📲┃ui-ux . Also test the component before you make any changes to it.

[flat breach]

is an arm 2d texture the same as mask map?

[solar panther]

What kind of websites am i visiting right now?

[storm patio]

how should i know

[pine eagle]

I am so cooked even chatgpt is ignoring me

[solar panther]

I'm so pissed by the errors...

[pine eagle]

I am not even mad anymore I just want this to be over

[solar panther]

Oh...

[charred fog]

You didn't answer the question

[pine eagle]

omg

I fucking fixed it

accidently

this was

set to alpha 0

omg

I want to

kms

[charred fog]

This is why I asked you several times to compare to default component.

[flat breach]

is an arm, normal-base map, ambient occlusion enough to have a realistic material in HDRP? most of the videos on this seem to be outdated

[potent geyser]

That's an extremely vague question

[solar panther]

Btw, I ain't just familiar with Unreal Engine. Just familiar with Unity

[potent geyser]

Photo realistic would require a skin shader and whatever textures that would require. Also sub surface scattering.

[thin jay]

can i post asking questions for my vrc avatar?

its in unity

[potent geyser]

!vrchat is where those questions belong

[vagrant root]

Join the growing VRChat community as you explore, play, and create the future of social VR! https://discord.com/invite/vrchat

[potent geyser]

We're not a support server for their sdk

[flat breach]

why? when I'm taking textures from polyhaven, they are the only textures I'm getting

[potent geyser]

So try them out

[flat breach]

what's a skin shader?

[flat breach]

I've and it seems to be not enough

[potent geyser]

There is no one solution for making things "realistic" , otherwise every game would look the same.

[flat breach]

but if I want my materials to look as much photorealistic as possible, I mean there's probably an amount of textures that I'd need

[potent geyser]

There's no one solution. You need to use a skin shader, by either making it yourself with a strong understanding of technical art (which you lack) or find one on the asset store, and learn how to use it.

It's clear you're hoping there is a checklist of things you need, and there isn't. That is your lack of understanding how art works when it comes to games.

[flat breach]

exactly

[potent geyser]

Exactly

[flat breach]

do you recommend me a video to learn this?

like pbr materials and shaders

[potent geyser]

I recommend you don't try to make your own, no. Look on the asset store.

[flat breach]

and by a skin shader, you mean a shader with a lot of nodes for each possible textures?

[flat breach]

okay

[potent geyser]

You can also download the HDRP chess scene example and see how they've set up their human character, she's very lifelike.

[flat breach]

oh okay thank you I'll look at that, is that this

[potent geyser]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/enemies-hdrp-248975

[flat breach]

thank you so much

[potent geyser]

I believe this is all using native HDRP? I could be wrong. But it's free so have a look.

[late rover]

Anyone can confirm/deny this happening to them as well?

Unity hub shows the module as installed, but after opening a project it says it isn't installed

reproducable on 6.3.0 and 6.3.2

[exotic relic]

I remember the video of this, pretty cool and looks awesome. Besides skin… lighting is extremely important to making that look good.

[left minnow]

So guys I got important question in unity
How to add a save and load system to a game that’s already done
(This game was made for 48 hours game jam so I had ai help with the programming while I was focused in implementing it and testing and making all the 3d stuff and making the story and the game playable I edited some of the code later to make it better the game wasn’t submitted to that game jam any way due to some internet problems but Iam now working more on the game to make it longer and much better than a game jam game )
So any idea how to implement that save and load system without having to remake the whole mechanics
The game has +35 scripts and more than 7 scenes

[plain dagger]

You have to think, what data needs to be saved so you can correctly restore the state of the game? Then you work to make it so you can get and store this data somewhere and then reload the game state later from your saved data.

Id expect some transformation data will be needed but what else depends on your needs

If this was not thought of at the start then you may need to refactor some things quite heavily

[vivid cedar]

Not any different from making a save/load system for any other game

Also 35 scripts is really tiny

[plain dagger]

beginners have little understanding of what data needs to persist and how to even make systems that can be reloaded with other data later in time

[left minnow]

Ik it’s just my first time trying to do this and all the tutorials I found just talkin abt very basic stuff like health stamina or whatever what I need to save in this game is 3d objects that are generated in run time as example or 3d objects that are disabled or enabled to simulate certain stuff so idk how to do all of that

[vivid cedar]

"3d object" is really not that relevant to a save system

[left minnow]

Yeah unfortunately that wasn’t planned in the beginning at all

[vivid cedar]

typically you'd have some kind of object id and you'd save a pretty simple entry for whether it exists or not, or whatever other data you need, mapped to the id

Ultimately every save system boils down to the same thing:

• Figuring out exactly what data you need to save
• Making a class that captures all of that data in it
• serializing that class to and from a file

[plain dagger]

Indeed. Id first try to make unique ids to prefabs which lets you spawn the object again later

[vivid cedar]

Step one:

Figuring out exactly what data you need to save
Is the main one that most beginners can't seem to figure out, in my opinion

all the tutorials focus on step 3

[plain dagger]

Yea a save system is no good when you dont know what to even put in there

[left minnow]

But what if they aren’t prefabs like they are just generated in run time like
A player takes a pic so a 3d object having this pic is generated and then it’s generated again in other scene and that happens during the whole game

Also Iam really sorry if my questions began to get stupid smh I really don’t know anything abt how to do it

[vivid cedar]

What do you mean by " a pic" exactly

like a pokemon snap photo or something?

[left minnow]

Ok I will start now with planning what needs to be saved exactly

[plain dagger]

Then this data is hopefully what you store and use to perform this generation again later. You need to give more details though for us to help

[vivid cedar]

right so an actual image from the camera - yeah that's just image daya, you can store it as a byte array

[left minnow]

I don’t really understand that part

[vivid cedar]

Basically you use this:
https://docs.unity.cn/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ImageConversion.EncodeToPNG.html
Then you have a byte array and you store that like any other data

[plain dagger]

well your example above shows a polaroid with a texture that i presume is captured in game.
The texture can be saved and reloaded again to "restore" the photo.

Im sure you understand the concept of having an image file?

[left minnow]

Ohh so that is possible I thought I can only save and load like floats strings and int

[vivid cedar]

why did you think that?

[left minnow]

I already use that while moving those pics from scene to another actually

[plain dagger]

well thats not required but i guess good?

[vivid cedar]

you don't need to encode your Texture to a PNG to "move them to another scene", whatever that means

[plain dagger]

how do you think any software works then 😆

[vivid cedar]

you can just pass the texture around

[plain dagger]

im going to presume that was some bullshit AI made up

[left minnow]

All the tutorials says the same that I only can save the stuff that’s not unity based and I didn’t know that isn’t unity based

[vivid cedar]

"Unity Based" what they mean by this is anything that is derived from UnityEngine.Object

[left minnow]

That was the best thing I could think of to save multiple texture 2d and load them in other scene and it’s also good cause Iam saving those pics already in gallery folder

[vivid cedar]

the reality iws you need to pick a serialization framework and then follow the rules of that framework

each framework will ahve different rules

so it depends what you are using

[left minnow]

But can I pass multiple ones ?

[vivid cedar]

If you are saving the images on files then yes you need to encode them. But to just pass them to another scene all you need to pass is the Texture itself

[vivid cedar]

why not

you can do wahtever you like

maybe you are struggling with the basics of some coding concepts? In that case you need to practice and learn more about C#

[plain dagger]

manually created textures do not get unloaded unless we Destroy them so this is not needed and pointless.
You can keep using the Texture2D as long as you want regardless of scenes being loaded/unloaded

[left minnow]

Yeah Iam trying to do that atm by I find it more helpful to do that while working on actual project and try to solve the problems I face so it stick to my mind yk

[left minnow]

Yeah Iam doing both so ig it better this way

[left minnow]

Ok thank you for the new info

[vivid cedar]

you can encode it but to pass to the other scene it's still better to just pass the existing Texture. That way you don't need to allocate a whole new texture nor waste the resources on decoding

[plain dagger]

Understanding what scene loading/unloaded actually does and how are kept in memory and unloaded will help in future

[left minnow]

Thank you guys both of you for your help I will go now try figure out the exact stuff I need to save as a first step

[vivid cedar]

if you're already saving photos to a file, what you really want to be saving in your saved game file is a reference of some kind to those photos. For example the filename or some other unique identifier you come up with.

I'm imagining this is some kind of Phasmophobia-esque game?

[left minnow]

So a texture2d will be better than passing the bytes ?

[vivid cedar]

Aren't you starting with a Texture?

[plain dagger]

{
  "photos":
[
  {
    "id": "abc123",
    "image": "abc123.png",
    "desc": "cool photo of a bed"
  }
]
}

[vivid cedar]

if so yes, just continue to use that Texture as long as you need it

[left minnow]

Iam sure that’s covered in the course Iam enrolled in rn but I just love to stop watching the course for a while and try workin on a project and then go back to it

[plain dagger]

its quite easy in c# to serialize a class/struct into JSON and back so its a concept you will want to learn about.
Unity has a built in json serializer but JSON.net is a popular choice

[maiden hill]

im really new to unity im trying to render materials but i cant figure out how

[left minnow]

My mechanics now already loading the whole bytes arr of pics everytime I move between the scenes so that will be pretty easy to apply the same way to the save

[vivid cedar]

put them on a renderer in the scene

[left minnow]

No it’s a psychological story game
Not horror tho

[left minnow]

I will def look that up rn to learn more abt it ty

[maiden hill]

im watching a tutorial and i think im doing what he is and under the rendering button there isnt a materials option

but in the tutorial there is

[vivid cedar]

wdym by "under the rendering button"?

YOu need to share some context with us

screenshots would help

[vivid cedar]

ok sounds like you're maybe trying to upgrade some BiRP materials into URP?

[sour shadow]

how do i edit grid snapping

[maiden hill]

i really just started dev i have no clue what urp or birp is but yeah i picked a urp option

[vivid cedar]

Are you talking about the render pipeline converter @maiden hill ?

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/GridSnapping.html

[maiden hill]

no im looking for a materials lemme send a screenshot from tutorial

[maiden hill]

for me materials just isnt there

[vivid cedar]

I'm honestly not sure what that is. Can you share the tutorial?

Make sure you're on the same unity version and have all the same plugins and assets installed as the tutorial

[maiden hill]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMOl8r7UHeo&list=PLF6lFlLzb6CQbKcDLXBNYzCCLKkFV63c0

yea i installed the polygonstarter pack like he said im at 2:00 in the videp

[near wigeon]

You wanna make a multiplayer and don't know how to apply materials.. ruff

[vivid cedar]

he's talking about converting BiRP materials to URP

that'll be done from Window -> Rendering-> REnder Pipeline Converter

The issue is you're using a newer Unity version than the tutorial is, so the UI is a bit different

it'll also be a whole window with some settings and stuff instead of a single button

You're going to need to select the Material Upgrade thing here, initialize the converter, then run it

Wait also in the video what he might be doing is just selecting the materials he wants to convert

if you have them selected you might see the same edit -> rendering -> materials menu he has

[maiden hill]

honestly i have no idea what i wanna make im just tryna learn right now

[near wigeon]

learn with simpler games / projects like pong / flappy bird etc

[maiden hill]

i have them selected i dont see the materials menu also when i press window i dont see material

[vivid cedar]

then try the Render Pipeline Converter method I explained above

[maiden hill]

i do know i want to do 3d though should i still start with 2d?

[near wigeon]

You can do 3D sure but make it a simpler game / mechanics

[vivid cedar]

Sorry it's Window -> Rendering not Window -> Material @maiden hill

[maiden hill]

ohh ya i tried doing earlier i was confused but now im doing the material upgrade

its just saying initializing pending

[vivid cedar]

you have to press the "Initialize Converters" button

it will search your project for assets to convert. After that double check which ones it's converting then press Convert Assets

[maiden hill]

i think it worked

thank u

[late rover]

hi, can anyone tell me if they're experiencing this on their unity 6.3 on linux?

I'm using the AUR version

[west lake]

i fixed it, it’s completed now but thank you!

[sleek forum]

what should u do after u spent a year doing tutorials?

[near wigeon]

put the knowledge to use

only a year isn't much

[sleek forum]

i dont know a lot tho

i built a simple platformer game but i feel like its too basic

and i cant make any better

[near wigeon]

the only way to improve is practice

make different types of projects etc

[sleek forum]

like what

[near wigeon]

depends, something you will enjoy doing

learning is not making your "ultimate project"

make a bunch of them for the purpose of learning and practice things you learn

[sleek forum]

what kind of game would be weorth making then

[fallen pine]

hehe i'm gonna make a game im so excited

[near wigeon]

simple ones, make it at least do a full gameloop

[sleek forum]

i did.

i made a platformer game that has restart

[eager falcon]

Guyyyyyys, help me, pleaaaaseee, I’m begging you.

I have an issue with Unity Netcode for GameObjects.

I have players - host and client. Both are moved locally by the player controller script (it moves players using rigibody) and then syncs their positions using network transform component (set to be owner-authoritative)

Apart from players, I also have objects either Network Transform (server-authoritative), rigidbody and a box collider components.

When host walks into an object - it moves it. When client walks into an object - it jiggles and barely moves it.

How do I fix this?? I would praise a guy who’ll help me figure this out, I spent a lot of time on that.

[near wigeon]

riight but one thing isn't nearly enough, the learning never stops

[near wigeon]

#1390346492019212368

[eager falcon]

Ok thx

[sleek forum]

what kind of things can i ask then

i mean

make

not ask

[near wigeon]

do something you enjoy

[sleek forum]

will that help me in making a video game in the future?

[near wigeon]

ofcourse

its not something you do overnight, its a knowledge you build up

the learning never stops really

[sleek forum]

are tutorials still worth it after using it for 1 year

[near wigeon]

tutorials can be useful yes, but not soo much the "make minecraft in 24 hrs" or some shit

learn things individually, learn putting those together on your own to build small but functional "minigames" or mechanic

[sleek forum]

so like make a simple game u can use ur skills to do?

[solar panther]

FINALLY! My FPS Controller has worked with no errors. But, It's not moving somehow.

[potent geyser]

That's not what most consider to be working.

Is there some hotkey that lets you go back to your last folder selection?

If I am looking at a folder, and then I select a material or something, it goes to the material in the project.

But what if I want to quickly go back to the folder I was looking at?

[tawny quail]

If you didn't edit anything, you can undo and it'll go back. Otherwise, there still isn't an actual back button 😔

[rose trout]

I have 2 combat systems in mind for my online RPG game, but I can't decide on which one to go with. Is this the right place to ask for opinions?

[exotic relic]

No. your own opinion is because you know your game best. But whats the options?

[rose trout]

This will be kinda long.

[rose trout]

I am working on an online RPG game, and I can't decide on which one of the two combat systems to go with.

1. A class based system that is similar to WoW, with a main class that is split into sub classes based on how they fight. Players can spec into any of the sub class trees for their main class as long as they have enough points, and attribute points are automatically set based on the class as the player levels up.

2. An elemental combat system. Players pick their starting element when creating their character, and they buy skills from vendors and some skills can be obtained out in the game world, either by completing quests, exploring random places, interacting with NPCs, etc. As players level up, they gain attribute points to use on any attribute they want, and they can use any weapon they want. Weapons can be imbued with your element to be used in combat. New elements can be learned later on as the player level up

Which one do you think I should go with?

[gusty abyss]

so why does unity like doing this to me

[cosmic igloo]

ur gonna be annoyed but the only real answer is “whatever is best for the game”. We have no idea what type of game you want to make or what sort of experience you want to give. There is no “better” option. Just pick what appeals most to you, if you execute it well people will like it.

[rose trout]

Yea, you are right. I will think it over and pick the other one that looks the most fun

[cosmic igloo]

just a question… how many games have you released so far

[silver iron]

[rancid helm]

so, how to fix this?

nothing is wrong i guess

XDD

[silk fractal]

Whatever is least complicated

WOW has it's combat system for a reason, cause it's very lenient to high ping

At least as far as I know

[rich kernel]

no idea check again your code a guess?

[rancid helm]

i did restart the engine, and there was some unnecessary using .... thing, and there was many error xd

[rich kernel]

So is the code then?

[rancid helm]

yes

but i don't know why unnecessary code equals error

[rich kernel]

Maybe because the engine is trying to find or running something on the unnecessary code and error becomes problematic

[royal dune]

I procrasinated on my "dream" game for like 2 years, and just now I locked in and it took me a total of 3 hours to finish the main movement (its a movement based game lol)

[rich kernel]

Genre?

[royal dune]

Ngl i dont really know what genre to categorize it into, but it’s somewhat like pizza tower (I think I haven’t played it Ngl) but kinda a metroidvania in a way…

[rich kernel]

Well you will find the kind of genre you want to make eventually with the prototyping and testing

[slow dirge]

Because the editor code might be relevant to the building process. The compiler doesn't know if it is or not, but since it's a possibility, it prevents you from building if there's a compile error in an editor script.

[wraith pasture]

Is there a billboard renderer or do i have to get a custom shader?

[gusty abyss]

i got a issue with sound sources lagging the game. i got sound sources. on 7 places only those lag theres no audio playing when i remove the comp it fixes the lag how dose that lag the game

[jaunty wraith]

im trying to use a ruletile for my tilling tool but i cant find the what pattern to use for inverted corners.

[storm patio]

please don't crosspost

[jaunty wraith]

wdym? this is the only channel i posted in

[storm patio]

i may be stupid, i thought you'd already posted in #🖼️┃2d-tools for some reason. my bad

[gusty abyss]

hows audio doing that none of it is playing

[storm patio]

(you should post there though)

[storm patio]

do you have an audio listener? is your game view muted? is your computer muted?

[gusty abyss]

what

[jaunty wraith]

ok i will

[storm patio]

those are debugging steps, those are things you should check

[gusty abyss]

no no

i ment it lags

i run the game no audio is playing only footsteps

it lags

when you move

if i remove the audio sources it fixes it

[storm patio]

ah, i read it as a complaint that audio wasn't playing

[gusty abyss]

its audio sources lagging

if i remove one audio source any it fixes it

[gusty abyss]

its inspector

[stiff heart]

guys is there an autosave or folder somewhere

PLEASE i NEED to know

because i MAY or may not have saved for 2 hours

[gusty abyss]

if you crashed

it should make backup

else its all gone

i think

[slow dirge]

Use the profiler cpu module. There's no way a simple audio source would be lagging. And there's not much to gain by looking at the audio module.

[gusty abyss]

it was the inpector lagging it

too mutch scripts

attached in one place as handlers for this

[short umbra]

hello first time asking here! i started game dev a few months ago just trying to learn new stuffs and i was wondering how people design their sound systems in their horror games
if anyone has like good tutorials or like experience sharing would be appreciated

for example, fears to fathom homealone has great sound designing that everywhere i go i feel like the ambience changes and other new different small sounds play

[gusty abyss]

Which language pack should I choose

[storm patio]

you can also pick neither

[storm patio]

i don't know myself, but i do know scruffy on youtube has some good analysis on game sound design, including one video on fnaf, maybe check that one out

[storm patio]

iirc there might be in .../Temp, but yeah you should really be saving frequently

[short umbra]

oh thank you i cant find the channel can you dm me the link?

[storm patio]

it's the first result when you search "scruffy" on youtube

apparently there's 2 videos on fnaf, actually

hey anyone here knows how to create unity games?

[storm patio]

no, not at all

jokes aside, don't ask to ask if you have a question

[balmy palm]

Watched that video. It was pretty good.

Although scott cawthon does tend to use 1 audio channel on alot of his things. Alot of the games have sound cutoff bugs.

Hi all. Just wondering what's the news with unity sentis?

I've been kinda out of the loop this past 3 years and i reckon gotta jump on the AI hype, but since my computer skills are so tied to unity, i'll just get on whatever unity's also into

[storm patio]

if you aren't familiar with it to begin with, google would probably be the best start

start by researching

[echo rune]

I've read the unity forum thread about it, the one in 2024

But latest search in here is about, among others, how sentis is not called sentis anymore

And that there are different kinda AI related to unity

[storm patio]

do you have a specific question in mind? it kinda sounds like you do but it's not very clear

also note that AI used to develop in unity and AI used within unity projects are separate

I guess i'll continue in this thread

- Compatibility Mode is enabled in Project Settings, but this feature is deprecated from Unity 6.0, and the setting is hidden in Unity 6.3. To enable Compatibility Mode, go to Edit > Project Settings > Player and add URP_COMPATIBILITY_MODE to the Scripting Define Symbols.```
Hi all. I'm getting this error when building (to webgl, if that matters)
But i checked in my scripting define and this entry is not even there
And as what the error say, the toggle option for this is also not available anymore
So idk what's going on?

I'm on unity 6.3

thank you so much

It seems like it's enabled in the project settings(possibly persisted value from before the upgrade). Adding the define is probably a way to fix the issue. Or make sure it's disabled in the project settings.(if it's not in the ui, open the project settings file in a text editor).

Yea tried looking in ProjectSettings.asset (in the scripting define), and in the UniversalRendererData, in text, and they're not there

Also in GraphicSettings.asset. Not there either
