[storm patio]

gonna need more info/context to go off of

[elder isle]

basically

i imported characters

from an asset pack

[storm patio]

please type in full sentences

[elder isle]

i put 4 characters

ok

i imported characters from an asset pack (they all have animations), the 3 of them that i put as dungeon monsters have their animations working, but the one i put as a player character doesnt have its animation working

[storm patio]

what do you mean by "not working"
is it giving any errors or warnings, is it doing something unexpected, or is it not doing anything at all

[elder isle]

its not doing anything at all

it doesnt work at all

i checked if it has animations

and it does

[storm patio]

have you checked the animator pane at runtime to see which state it's in?

[elder isle]

ykw hat im js gonna go read unity essentials

cuz i didnt understand a single thing u just said

[torpid cave]

how do i make depth of field apply to the viewport camera and not just the cameras placed in the scene

[limpid bloom]

Hey guys i need help, i'm kinda new and everytime i create a project i keep getting this error:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@6ea13a8ff72f\Editor\Tools\Converters\ReadonlyMaterialConverter\ReadonlyMaterialConverter.cs(159,18): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MaterialReferenceChanger' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I created a "Universal 3d" project, and when i try with "3d (Universal Render Pipeline) i get even more errors

Should i reinstall anything? This happens even when i try to open some old projects, tysm.

[flat breach]

hi, for an Enemy in a game, should I go for a simple script manager or a state machine?

[storm patio]

depends on what you want

figure out what behavior you want and then figure out how to implement it

(also, those 2 things aren't mutually exclusive)

[flat breach]

I'd like the enemy to be either idle, running and other simple things, well not something complex

[flat breach]

what I meant by manager script is just a script managing everything

[storm patio]

managing the entire game? definitely not

what do you mean by "everything"

[potent moss]

is there some way to build a project online? or do you actually have to do it in the unity editor?

[storm patio]

you can set up builds in like, github actions using the command line iirc? not sure how though
is that what you're asking?

[strange moon]

Is there a mechanism to trigger upgrading all files of unity project? When I upgraded Unity version and then change a .unity file, it had 100k changed lines(due to unity upgrade). I would like to trigger all files to upgrade upfront so I dont have to face large diffs later

[plain dagger]

you can try re importing assets

[torpid cave]

how do i make depth of field apply to the viewport and not just cameras placed in the scene?

[rustic zenith]

idrk

btw do u guys prefer the new input system or the old one

idk I stan for the old input system

[craggy pollen]

are you planning to publish for different devices

[rustic zenith]

no just desktop

windows/linux/mac

[craggy pollen]

then i don´t see any reason why you shouldnt use the old one

[rustic zenith]

yay

[worldly cave]

its good for your game to have gamepad support even on pc

plus theres other benefits to the new system

and most importantly it really doesnt hurt to learn something new

[strange moon]

Looking forward to add gamepad support on my game as well

[torpid bone]

hey can someone plis help me why my character is laging like this ?

[worldly cave]

we cant possibly know without further info but i would suggest you look at your animator at runtime

because it looks like the character is constantly transitioning between 2 states

[spiral urchin]

Should I create the opening scene or the full game itself then the opening scene?

[storm sierra]

The opening scene is mostly a cool visual, so it depends on your skill sets

[torpid bone]

oki thanks bro

[strange moon]

Whatever you like. Game sounds more important to me

[craggy pollen]

whatever you like, you can change the order of the scenes anyways

[spiral urchin]

Ok thanks

[spiral urchin]

Oh okay

[storm sierra]

I think your character has no connection to time and is not lagging but is needing to be tied into delta time.

[craggy pollen]

na i dont think that has anything to do with deltaTime

looks like some animation problems as it was suggested

[storm sierra]

The animation and the movement look out of sync

[mortal gyro]

who can help why my character didnt walk and fall in ground

[storm patio]

how are you trying to move the character? what are the constraints on that rb?

thanks brother i fixed it 🙂

[mortal gyro]

i freeze all rotation and move for velocity

[mortal gyro]

i freeze all rotation and move with velocity

[storm patio]

share your code please

[mortal gyro]

https://pastebin.com/ckRTjdqM

[storm patio]

you made it private

[mortal gyro]

https://pastebin.com/ckRTjdqM

[storm patio]

have you tried debugging the move value you get in Movement?

[mortal gyro]

no, i will trying it now

[storm patio]

also a few things to note that aren't related to the current issue

• your transform is yawing left to right, but your rigidbody has locked Y rotation. you should rotate via the rigidbody instead, and not constrain its Y rotation
• your camera is just pitching up and down, whereas the current transform (with the rb) is rotating left to right. you probably want to get the direction of movement from that instead (Movement, line 52-53)
• a delta position is already per-frame, you should not use deltaTime on that (Rotation, line 77-78)
• your move vector isn't normalized, so you'll be moving faster when moving diagonally (Movement, line 56)

[limpid bloom]

Anyone?

[storm patio]

make sure the packages are up to date, try resetting the library

[ebon hare]

Sooo uhm

What did I press to make rotation just like. Infinite

Cause uh its never done THAT before, fairly certain rotation is supposed to go up to 360 and not 37+ thousand

[limpid bloom]

I'm sorry but how can i do that?

[storm patio]

which part?

[storm patio]

iirc this is an editor bug

[ebon hare]

Pfft okay

[storm patio]

not sure what you can do about it, i haven't really been following

[ebon hare]

I guess ill just try restarting

Was wondering if it was a button or something
Yeah that fixed it, I probably shoulda just restarted first tbh well anyone else that sees it will know

[limpid bloom]

Like how do i restart the library

[storm patio]

close the project, delete the library folder, reopen the project, wait for the library to rebuild

[mortal gyro]

all debbuging show good results
Debug.Log($"Move Vector: {move}"); - changing parametrs when i change direction
Debug.Log($"Length: {move.magnitude:F2} (1.0 = normal)"); - show always 1

[storm patio]

oh right the joystick is probably already normalizing it

or clamping the magnitude, rather

[mortal gyro]

i wrote normalizing too

[storm patio]

you might not want to do that, i forgot this was a joystick rather than keyboard input

if you normalize it then you can't move a little bit by moving the joystick a little bit

[vernal skiff]

I have a project I need help with but I'm not entirely sure where to ask questions about it. its unity related but more so 3d asset related. where do I talk about it so I dont get banned?

[exotic relic]

What is your question, here is fine if you arent sure what channel

[storm patio]

you won't get banned for a question, just redirected if you're in the wrong place

[vernal skiff]

oh ok. I just needed some opinion on a web based project. I've posted about it on reddit and the questions and responses I've gotten so far have been very helpful. if any of you could provide suggestions that'd be great. the whole idea is to help devs validate a ton of their assets so they are ready for unity

[storm patio]

soo what's your question there exactly?

like, opinions/suggestions on what aspect, or are you asking about the usefulness like in the reddit post

[vernal skiff]

I think how well this would fit into someones workflow and how useful it is

its aimed toward tech devs, tech artists, and possibly producers who use unity but need help make sure assets are game ready

[strange moon]

Didnt change anything. Hopefully all files are upgraded already and the diffs are small

[storm patio]

i don't think this is really the right place for that. this is more of a help server for unity projects, rather than discussing stuff with unity devs in general

maybe #1180170818983051344 could work? but the guidelines there state it's for unity projects. i'm not sure about the scope there

[vernal skiff]

yeah I figured, sorry guys thanks anyway

[devout mountain]

needlessly condescending

[stuck flower]

needlessly obtuse

[hushed hamlet]

Id also recommend getting a cheap udemy course, they are always on sale, and usually very we'll maintained and easy to follow. Id encourage working through one ASAP, that way you can maybe join Global Game Jam and join your first group

[devout mountain]

Thank you. I got one from gamedev.tv years ago when curious on unity but it seems to be a bit old, looking for others atm.

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah, i mean, its OK. Their stuff is always on mass sale with humble bundle and such, but i find udemy quality to be better (both as an ecosystem and with the material being kept up to date)

Learn and youtube is free, and learn has come a long way. But its a lot of clicking next still versus actual assignments and such

[balmy kettle]

even if the material taught is using an outdated version of the editor you can still use that same version and follow along. the concepts are what is most important, not the exact steps to take

[hushed hamlet]

True and Unity is quite thorough about maintaining old sdks and such. Its very rare for it to be completely removed, except for a few things like unet.

[sour shadow]

Uhh i need help
Whenever i try to import images to a tilemap this error appears

[fleet canopy]

was that necessary?

[sour shadow]

YesNo

[supple mica]

how can i stop my camera from looking through walls/objects when I go too close

[fleet canopy]

clipping planes on the camera

change the near

[sour shadow]

But uhh can anyone pls help here

[supple mica]

Thanks it's good now

[storm patio]

into the tilemap or the tile palette?

[sour shadow]

this thing
-# whatever its called

prob tile palette but idk

[charred fog]

select tilemap that wasn't destroyed as it says

[sour shadow]

what?

[strange moon]

Deleted user damn, someone reported them

[fleet canopy]

discord is quick on these things

[sour shadow]

what does that mean?

[strange moon]

He will come back as 25 year old though

[fleet canopy]

I think you have to choose a different palette

[sour shadow]

i did
it does literally nothing

[charred fog]

You need target for the palette

[sour shadow]

it is

idk whats the issue

[honest silo]

can anyone explain this?

[charred fog]

Read the details of the error and see what references destroyed one

[honest silo]

i did it for my 2d game but ı dont know will it work

[sour shadow]

it gives...
no info

[charred fog]

in the log window details

[sour shadow]

uhh
i dont have that window open

how do i open it?

[winged shale]

My reference point

I can’t even make it realistic

[charred fog]

@winged shale No need to repost the same thing, you already got an answer for it

[winged shale]

True but I want to see what will new people think of this idea

[charred fog]

Console window has two parts, when you select the message details are in the other part.

[charred fog]

If you want to ask game design questions create a thread as the channel description says.

[sour shadow]

thats allot that i dont understand

[winged shale]

Thanks bro do you know a way to start free coding

Like I don’t want these free trials

[fleet canopy]

It says Tilemaps.Tilemap and you are currently on Tilemap so maybe that’s your problem?

[sour shadow]

what

[fleet canopy]

The error

[sour shadow]

how do i change to Tilemaps.Tilemap then?

[charred fog]

make sure that this one is actually exists and you don't have any properties open pointing to the deleted one

[honest silo]

if ı scale my assets in unity (2d) will there be any quantity loss?

[fleet canopy]

maybe a scam?

have you done anything with unity support?

[sour shadow]

uhh
like which properties

[charred fog]

You have to actually examine your editor and see when you get that error.

[storm patio]

the namespace isn't going to be shown there

[fleet canopy]

I didn’t mean that

I was saying that both are named “Tilemap”

[storm patio]

there's no other Tilemap built-in

that one is the UnityEngine.Tilemaps.Tilemap

[fleet canopy]

yeah and it doesn’t exist so I thought that the screenshot they showed was referencing that

probably wrong

[orchid ledge]

i need ask quesstion

[storm patio]

the "Tilemap" you're referring to isn't even a type name, that's the name of the tilemap
so no clue what you're referring to lmao

[orchid ledge]

how add texture to my terrain

like how do i texture it

[sour shadow]

the second i try it gives the error

[balmy palm]

You can drag a image, onto the said mesh. If you want to be more advanced tho, then you gotta learn blender texture painting.

[charred fog]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[orchid ledge]

so i can only have 1 texture on terrain?

[balmy palm]

You mean like unity terrain?

[orchid ledge]

yes

[sour shadow]

and WHICH proprties do i have to check?

[balmy palm]

No clue on that, sorry.

[orchid ledge]

but this is unity discord

how u not know

[balmy palm]

How do i not know unity terrain? because i havn't touched unity terrain before?

[fleet canopy]

The people who hang around #⛰️┃terrain-3d would

try asking thrrr

[orchid ledge]

u so smart

[charred fog]

Follow any tutorial or a manual, make sure everything was setup correctly. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/tilemaps/work-with-tilemaps/create-tilemap.html

[worn schooner]

can't lie i need help with my game. I want to have a "drop in portal" to my first level of my game and i don't know how i can make that, i want it to be like a tornado if that makes sense i hope someone can help me

[vivid cedar]

which part are you actually asking for help with?

A visual effect?

or some functionality?

Or what

[worn schooner]

No more like something you walk into and it drops you into a new level

[fleet canopy]

scene loading?

there’s triggers for when the player touches the portal and you can use the SceneManager to move between scenes

[vivid cedar]

yeah so, the functionality?

Break it down into simple pieces:

• Detecting when the player enters some area (triggers)
• Loading a new scene
• The visuals

[worn schooner]

no, its a VR game. I want the person to be able to walk into a "hole" into the wall then slide into a drop and they fall into the new level

sorry if i dont make sense i have no idea what im doing

[storm patio]

there's a lot of parts to any given feature

[vivid cedar]

that's pretty vague but you'll want to look into trigger colliders and OnTriggerEnter probably

you need to break down the thing into smaller parts and do them one by one

[storm patio]

the graphics, the visual effects, the sound effects, lighting, functionality, interactivity, UI/UX, etc

[worn schooner]

oh

[storm patio]

praetor is asking which part you need help with

[worn schooner]

i need help with it all ngl

ill draw what im talking about

[storm patio]

these parts can be done somewhat separately. do one thing at a time. which part do you want help with right now

[worn schooner]

making the drop

[storm patio]

the graphics/geometry of the drop, or the functionality of the drop

[polar basalt]

is unity okay?

[worn schooner]

functionality

[storm patio]

probably start with these vague steps i guess

[worn schooner]

kinda like this, like a cave system

[storm patio]

make them more specific according to what you want, and then go from there

[worn schooner]

idk man, im sorry i have no idea what im doing

i have this hole in my wall rn

oh wait hold up i think i have a exact picture

Here

Like this

[potent moss]

do raycasts affect performance in any significant way?

[orchid ledge]

yes

they are raycast

they cast rays

from my knowledge

(1 day of game making experience so im pretty professional)

[potent moss]

[orchid ledge]

im so professional infact that i know how to resize a part in blender

[storm patio]

raycast (1)? no
raycasts (100)? no
raycasts (100000000)? yes

[orchid ledge]

hold on im figuring out how to add more triangles and verticies to a cube in blender

[storm patio]

don't worry about perf unless a) you start having perf issues, b) you are working in the millions of iterations, or c) you are working with extremely limited hardware, like an arduino or a NES

[worn schooner]

Chris do u think id be able to do this?

[potent moss]

[worn schooner]

this

[storm patio]

sure?

like, it's been done before, so obviously it's possible

it's more up to your motivation to learn and implement it, and i'm not in your head, i can't comment on that

[worn schooner]

can you help me with it?

[storm patio]

if you have specific questions, sure

if not, start with tutorials and such

generic questions are going to yield generic answers

[worn schooner]

i dont really know what questions to ask

[storm patio]

then start with tutorials and such

[worn schooner]

how am i able to put the tunnel into my game

[storm patio]

have you gone through at least unity essentials?

[strange moon]

People hate generic questions though

[worn schooner]

sorry

[worn schooner]

is it free?

[storm patio]

yes

[strange moon]

AI is good resource as well

[storm patio]

just avoid AI as a beginner. it's not going to actually help you learn.

[worn schooner]

okay so i see the unity learning thing, i dont even know where to start

[strange moon]

If you know the questions you wanna ask and are able to critically question it, then AI is good, for generic questions at least

[storm patio]

unity essentials, like i mentioned

[worn schooner]

Where do i start there? w

[orchid ledge]

I DID IT

[potent geyser]

Start from the beginning?

[orchid ledge]

i added a verticie to a cube

im so smart

[storm patio]

there's a search bar, or you can browse the pathways tab

[worn schooner]

i don't know what my problem is and how i can look it up

i think its too specific

[storm patio]

your problem is currently lacking knowledge/experience

experience you can only get with time spent using unity, well, getting experience

right now you can control getting knowledge

that's your first step

learn the fundamentals, build up from there

[orchid ledge]

is this enough verts for terrain? or do i have to make my pc get even hotter

[storm patio]

mate, this is a support channel

[worldly cave]

why is it not a quad

why are you doing it in blender

[orchid ledge]

whats that

[worldly cave]

your terrain mesh does not need to be 3d dimensional

also why are you doing it inside of blender?

[orchid ledge]

because i dont know how to make terrain in unity

because ive been developing for 1 day

[worldly cave]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/script-Terrain.html

[orchid ledge]

im so dumb..

[potent geyser]

Unity had a built in terrain tool you can look up.

[worldly cave]

quick question for the busier ones here, how many projects at once are you guys currently juggling 🤔

[strange moon]

3 projects

[orchid ledge]

i have 1 project

and it has a character and a baseplate

[storm patio]

like, 5?

but not actively

[worldly cave]

do you have like a main one you focus on?

[storm patio]

it switches depending on mood

[potent geyser]

I have work, my main project and one freelance.

[storm patio]

(i'm active in 2 and planning to revive one)

[strange moon]

I get some tasks done on one project, then switch

[vivid river]

3-4

[worldly cave]

makes sense, im like in the final stretch right now before a demo release for my project and i guess ever since that "creative exploration" phase has gone away and im stuck with the more technical challenges and polish, ive been losing momentum

So i dont know how smart it is to start another project, or 2

but i guess its not that unusual to juggle multiple

[storm patio]

i mean.. ngl, usually isn't, but sometimes it just happens

an interest or idea pops up

just do what you feel like doing

[worldly cave]

i think ill just explore it more conceptualy first and then reward myself when i finally release the demo for the main project by starting a new one

[storm patio]

you could also consider having projects that are just for fun developing rather than planning to publish

[strange moon]

It really gets interesting when the problems appear, also takes way more time then

[worldly cave]

dont get me wrong most of the work i do here is fun

i do actually enjoy developing

[storm patio]

you could pause or archive that work without any guilt if there's no expectation

[worldly cave]

i think ill persevere as of now and get this demo out

just so i have something to show

[cinder crater]

Hey, I just made a new 2D URP project in Unity 6000.3.0b5 and I tried to enable Temporal Anti-Aliasing in the Camera component, but I get a warning that Motion Vectors are not enabled. I tried to find the Motion Vectors setting in the UniversalRenderPipelineGlobalSettings.asset but it appears the Inspector for it has been removed and replaced with a project settings page. On the project settings page I can not find any Motion Vectors option. How do I enable Motion Vectors??

MSAA is off. PostProcessing is on and bloom works. I enabled Depth Texture and Opaque Texture in UniversalRP.asset but it did not fix the issue. Please help.

[storm patio]

@turbid token @orchid ledge please do not solicit DMs. this community server exists for a reason

@orchid ledge that's a pretty generic question, have you tried just googling that
seems like it'd yield plenty of answers

[strange moon]

„Thanks guys, he dmed me the solution“ never ever returns and solution went to void forever

and then one day "this thing isn't working" and it's the most horrible way to do it

probuilder is the worst thing to exist

"here why dont i fuck up all of your lightmaps and give you broken tools"

[worldly cave]

Probuilder should rebuild lightmap uvs itself but it's normal to expect a mesh changing to fuck baked light

[gusty abyss]

This is false

well, the boolean tool literally crashed my project, the cut tool is just snapping to the nearest vertice even though snapping is off, and it makes a certain face in my mesh dark when probuilderising albeit trying everything to fix it

Did you read that warning in the console?

[dusk palm]

yes but I honestly don't know what to do with that😭

[charred fog]

It instructs you what to do

Also there's a warning that scene view lightning is disabled in the inspector

how can I enable it?

oops I think I found it, I think I just had to put on Shaded Draw Mode................................... I can see the light and shading now

can you clarify a bit more? what is your speed value set to in the inspector

also "left and right" is entirely relative in this scenario

Hello does anybody know how to fix this (unity 6.3LTS) The game is HDRP and raytracing all performat quality

[worldly cave]

fix what specifically?

high gpu usage?

[bleak sable]

yes its 99% wwich shouldnt be

[worldly cave]

see what the profiler tells you

[slow dirge]

Well, one simple way would be to limit your framerate(with vsync for example).

[bleak sable]

i did setting it to 120fps

[slow dirge]

Then that's as fast as your game can run on the current gpu.
Actually, why does it show 139 fps then?

[bleak sable]

that was before i set it .after i set it it was 120fps

[slow dirge]

OK, then what's the new data and the new question based on it?

[bleak sable]

how can i bring down the gpu usage to not be 99%

[slow dirge]

Is it still 99% at 120 fps?

[bleak sable]

yep

for this scene

[worldly cave]

do you have real time raytracing?

like gi or reflections

[bleak sable]

umm i do have this

[worldly cave]

what kind of gpu do you have?

[bleak sable]

5070 RTX

[slow dirge]

Well, you'll need to profile your GPU, which might require dedicated GPU profiling tools, as unity's gpu profiler doesn't work great in SRPs.
You could do several simple checks/tests to understand the bottleneck better:

• check the amount of verts being rendered.
• try reducing the rendering resolution down to something like 64x64.

This would help understand if it's a vertex of pixel based bottleneck.

Maybe start with just looking at the profiling, as I'm not sure how reliable that gpu usage metric is. Is it from the task manager?

[bleak sable]

no thats from NVIDIA overlay

[slow dirge]

OK, then start by looking at the unity profiler.

My guess is that your settings are just too high. Raytracing is pretty expensive, you know? Maybe if you should be targeting 60 fps instead?

[river gale]

Hello guys im new to game dev it's nice to meet you all

[worldly cave]

that was my thought too, also a lot of people switch the game view resolution to something like 4k without realizing it also affects performance

[bleak sable]

umm the settings aall is one sample onlz all qualitz is performat i dont think i can optimize it more

[slow dirge]

Well, that's not what you shared earlier on the screenshots...

We can't help you if what you say is different from what you show...

I FIXED IT

[south lion]

Hello! I recently discovered that my texture that i made from blender is not possible to use on Unity because it uses shaders that unity doesnt support, so my question is, how does one make good detailed looking textures for UNITY? Cuz my model looked preety sick and ended up looking a bit goofy... and + i can't find any tutorial that explain that!
ty in advance! also pls ping me if u answer 🙂

also sorry i am quite new to unity xD

[worldly cave]

if by "uses shader that unity doesnt support" you mean its created with shader nodes in blender, youre going to have to either:
A. bake the materials in blender to textures and import that
B. Recreate it in unity using the shadergraph

also another important fact, its never going to look as good in unity as it does in blender because blender uses the disney burley diffuse while im pretty sure unity is still using lambert

[south lion]

That was an old project so i dont really have the model anymore, but i remember trying that with my peanut and it ended up not looking quite right...

this what you mean right?

Normal map, height map, etc?

or did it just not work because i did something stupid? Im sorry for bothering i really just wanna know before making a model so i know what to do and what i can't do

[worldly cave]

yeah i think something got messed up along the way

could be that the normals are inside out?

[worn schooner]

making somthing like this can someone help me

i have been trying for like 8 hours and i cant do it

nobody has helped me

[south lion]

it was one of my first models so i wouldn't doubt it 😅
but just to clarify, i can make those high detail textures that if i do everything correctly, unity will render them fine, right?

cuz i said it was the shader stuff because thats what someone told me but idk im new so

but thank you man. appreaciate it

[worldly cave]

sure

it typically should

[worn schooner]

@worldly cave are you able to help me ? your a 3d artist and i have NO clue what im doing

First time I've ever seen this, I started a unity project, installed probuilder, got this. Can't open the project again..

6000.1.5f1 URP Any ideas?

[slow dirge]

It's the version control package. Uninstall it and install the latest version(if you need it).

[tepid horizon]

Odd, I didn't even select to use version control

[slow dirge]

It's one of the default packages. And it seems to be causing an issue to some users lately.
Did you upgrade this project from an older unity version?

[tepid horizon]

No, I just tried creating another project and didnt put anything into it and I get the same error

And I need to uninstall that package

I've used this unity version many times before

[slow dirge]

Well, 6.1 is kind of a beta version, so perhaps the latest version control version is not compatible with it.

[slow dirge]

I'd advice to upgrade to 6.3 or downgrade to 6.0. Basically an LTS.

Sometimes, I wonder, what leads people to asking and waiting for a discord channel to answer?

[balmy kettle]

you can take the AI evangelism somewhere else

[azure grove]

things are harder in the long run when you do not build a understanding of what you are doing

[turbid token]

I used to ask AI everything about Unity coding, now I got everything,I can assume correctly and use Methods and functions I didn't know existed before being told of them.

I use AI as a personal Tutor

[dusky forum]

A concern with using AI would be the validation of the solution. Users are probably better off just searching for older messages that include certain keywords.

[charred fog]

@turbid token There's no off-topic on the server. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct

I am browsing SFX on envato and other sites right now. If you have any ideas please let me know.

If you plan to play these sounds at the same time, it may be worth considering harmonies so 2 or 3 sounds played together dont sound like noise but compliment eachother - if you are playing it one after the other this may not matter much, you may even possibly be able to get away with using the same sound and change its pitch, if the sound is mostly a tone or single note, and if thats the case you may have options of generating the sounds, otherwise I think finding specific sounds for those specific kinds of events might be challenging as you either need to find a audio pack that is themed to what you are doing or find something generic enough and modify it in Audacity or some other program to sound closer to what youd like (or record the audio yourself with everyday objects and edit it in the same way)

can someone help me I've got a problem with aspect ratio? I created a slideshow and when I start it my images become squashed for some reason.. Also, I tried to run my AR Image recognition app on my phone and the camera is also squashed and pixelated.. I don't know what's the cause, it used to work perfectly fine and then something got messed up and I still can't find what exactly

normal image should look like this

[storm patio]

it looks like you have the image stretched to fill the screen boundaries

there's a button on the image component to make it use the image's aspect ratio

[obsidian plank]

imma check it out! and what about the camera, it literally looks like this when i run the app on my phone.. i know the quality is ass but it's what i see

it used to be normal and it f'd up for some reason

[storm patio]

no clue about that tbh

[river pumice]

anyone know how to fix this

ion even know bruh

i tried using aspect ratio fitter but its the same stil

[storm patio]

i don't think aspect ratio fitter is really what you want
if you assign a source image in there, there should be a button "Set native size"

though, the root issue is there - your image is set to stretch to fill the entire screen

Alright, I think I am giving up using cinemachine noise profiles for head bobbing I literally cannot make it smooth enough. How do you actually make head bobbing via script? do you use mathf.sin for that? if so can you customise it like moving the rotation as well.

[fair cove]

There is a Quaternion.Slerp so I dont see why you couldnt also use the same sin/cos logic for rotation as well, you could maybe try a "impulse" not sure how well it would work for headbobbing but cos/sine approach is probably the most straight-forward approach I know of

[worldly cave]

I looked it up and "4unity" is apparently a community of Russian arma servers?

[storm patio]

huh, thought that was a typo

[shadow heron]

can you visual the sin and change it in the inspector like the animation curve?

[storm patio]

a sin wave is a pretty fixed thing, you can only change 4 parameters (amplitude, frequency, phase, offset)

[rancid helm]

is this okay? i have i5 2500 16gb ddr3 and gt 1030

[sly lake]

Windows task manager tells you nothing useful about performance

But if your game runs alright on something that old you likely won’t get complaints

[craggy pollen]

you only have 2GB vram but rest is ok

as Wolfos pointed out, run unity and see how it performs

[rancid helm]

4GB version

too much rigidbody i guess?

[sly lake]

Or physics update rate too high

[worldly cave]

honestly the fact youre even seeing 30fps in editor with a gt 1030 is impressive

[shadow heron]

I have a problem, basically I am moving the tracking target with mathf.sin to create a headbob effect. But in my player movement script I am also using the tracking target for crouching and that why it stutters while its moving and when I crouch the camera doesn't go down because of this. Any ideas how I can fix / make this better? I don't want it to interfere with each other / cause problems in the future cause I am going to add more headbob effects.

player movement: https://paste.ofcode.org/3btxneM6B2uW8tnL8hMahvn
HeadBob: https://paste.ofcode.org/VRCQGhxiVzyhGejtZmvMAd

[worldly cave]

i think your issue is caused by multiple different systems all affecting a singular transform

so they are conflicting and causing issues

what does your player hierarchy look like

[opaque night]

Anyone here already tried to publish a mobile game with Voodoo?

[shadow heron]

you can see it in the video

Player - player movement script in there
└── trackingtarget - Headbob script in there

[worldly cave]

is your camera not a child of the player?

i would do something like:

Player
└── CameraRoot      <- crouching
    └── HeadBob     <- headbob
        └── Camera

[shadow heron]

No I am using cinemachine doesn't need to be a child of the player thats why I have a tracking target in the player so the cinemachine camera follows the player

[worldly cave]

if youre use cm shouldnt you be using noise profiles for this?

[shadow heron]

I was before but I wanted to use my noise profile presets and I couldn't get them to look smooth so I am doing it with code instead.

Alright I fix the issue I just made the tracking target a child of another empty game object called camera root and used that for crouching thanks for that #💻┃unity-talk message but if I want to add another empty game object as a child of the camera root mainly for headbobbing it wouldn't work because I need to reference and move the tracking target to add the headbobbing but I don't want to do that as I don't want to cause more problems down the line. I can't move the camera itsef as I made it so you need a tracking target so it follows the player. nevermind I may have fix it 😛

[orchid ledge]

u r to smart how u did that

you know thos really sloppy premade looking unity games on app store where can i get thos models

they have like a polygon style

kinda like this https://poly.pizza/m/5EGWBMpuXq

[worldly cave]

look up synty assets

[orchid ledge]

ok

[worldly cave]

they have some good assets but the character models always give them away

do you think 2.8GB of assets is enough for a game

there all asset packs

[orchid ledge]

im his friend hes just rage baiting

[orchid ledge]

so did i go overboard

[copper gust]

no one knows

you can't tell off file size

[worldly cave]

theres no answer for this

unless youre typically aiming for mobile

which has some limitations

otherwise your game could 1gb or even 120gb

[orchid ledge]

im aiming for mobile

i want the cheeto crusted hand kids playing my game

[sweet charm]

U can adjust the models so they can achieve the same quality without taking too much space

But that’s just 1 step of optimization

U can also build the assets into separate bundles for individual updates by using Addressables

[sly lake]

Size is different after building anyway

And Unity doesn’t include unused assets

My 60GB project becomes ~1GB after building and compression

[strange moon]

Wow 60 gb

I want to ask this question because I'm getting extremely frustrated with unity RN. I wanted to make a game that has that pixel feel but I'm constantly running into issue with unity creating extra pixels between world grids and creating a lot of issues with text on such low resolution as 320x180 at 32 PPU. I had to create my own custom font that is pixel perfect to even be able to use text in my game and unity still crapping that up. I use pixel perfect camera and cinemachine with all of there settings to the pixel standards. I know that this is most likely issue of me but frustration is going hard that I cant just use canvas and TMP to add text to my game. Not even thinking if I want to have items that have descriptions and inventory system god forbid having any sort text there. So I want to ask is it better for me to try go for HD style instead of pixel or HD style and upscale my pixel art work to HD to still give that pixel style feel? I'm created few assets and spent about week+ working but constantly running into most frustrating issues with UI and just basic rendering is crazy.

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.

[frigid shale]

i swear if its a antivirus preventing it lol

[coral fog]

i have issues install SDK and NDK Tools and have logs saying:

"An unknown error occurred while installing"
"Can't restore time" many times" many times

[fleet canopy]

!install

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:

[fleet canopy]

literally the same issue as above

[coral fog]

already done it and didn't fix it

[fleet canopy]

antivirus?

[coral fog]

turned it off

[fleet canopy]

Are there any logs?

[coral fog]

"An unknown error occurred while installing"
"Can't restore time" many times" many times

[sly lake]

Can’t restore time?

[fleet canopy]

network issue?

or maybe permissions issue

Or maybe your computer’s time is wrong

[coral fog]

i tried on a different computer and different network and didn’t work

here is my logs:

wrong

and unity hub deleting all installed Editor versions after cancelling a failed download

[solar panther]

Am i allowed to make my own music with GarageBand for my game?

[copper gust]

..yes

[solar panther]

U sure?

[dark star]

? where is this questoin coming from lol

why wouldn't you be

[copper gust]

you own the music you make in garageband

[solar panther]

I just like always overthinking whatever is gonna happened to me.. Srry, about this guys.

[flat breach]

hello for run animations, walk, idle, animations that will be played multiple times, should I be using preferably bool parameters and just SetBool(); once? or there's a better way

[solar panther]

Idk, I've not done some of my animations and characters yet...

[subtle geyser]

How would I use GitHub for it?

[flat breach]

watch a tutorial for it, it's easy

[plain dagger]

The system is git, github are a company to host a repo online

[subtle geyser]

Can you send me a tutorial?

[flat breach]

brackeys github unity

[coral fog]

The problem was that a was installing on external ssd

[flat breach]

hello for run animations, walk, idle, animations that will be played multiple times, should I be using preferably bool parameters and just SetBool(); once? or there's a better way

[near wigeon]

Get it all done with a float and blend tree

If you're talking about animator

[south lion]

Hello! So, i made a texture and material in blender and i would like to export it to unity, how do i do it? Cuz when i try it only gives me the base color and no material or texture...

[flat breach]

yes I am and thank you so much that's what I'll do

[solar panther]

Bro, I'm so bad at blender... 😭

[copper gust]

(you don't need to respond to people if you don't know the answer)

[solar panther]

Nah, it's fine.

[south lion]

i believe this is what happened to it, i had this problem before...

[south lion]

@near wigeon Yea so obviously i have used google but since i couldnt find anything or anything that worked i came here looking for help, thank you

[azure grove]

well looks like you are not even showing the right material in blender, but answer is it depends

but you will have a easier time if you think about textures first and work within what unitys standard shader supports

[rancid whale]

Try experimenting with the export settings, like “copy” or “path” etc those ones (I assume you’re doing FBX)
There might be a button to “Pack external resources” too, I’ll look into it later.
There’s 100% a way, just requires some Google-ing as others said

[azure grove]

i think the issue is they are not only using textures in blender

but some inputs are things like noise and other generated things

[south lion]

Yes i am using shading or idk its called, procedural textures ig

[azure grove]

for that to work you need to bake everything out into the inputs unity wants

[rancid whale]

Unity does “Smoothness” map not Roughness, which is supposed to be baked into alpha of either metallic or albedo i think,
So either way you’ll be re-doing stuff to get it to work in Unity,
Or create your own URP/Lit Shader in Unity that supports Roughness texture, can be with shader graph. Decently easy to find on Google

[azure grove]

also would need proper uv's since i know some of the procedural stuff does not need it

[south lion]

so like normal map height map and those maps?

[azure grove]

unity will want, a albedo, and roughness map at the least

if something is a constant value and not a map in blender you can just set the constant value in a shader

the result will never look 1 to 1 as well since the shaders are different

[south lion]

isnt that smoothness map just adjusting the value "smoothness"?

[rancid whale]

You mean a Smoothness map?
Which must be in alpha channel of albedo or metallic map

[azure grove]

yeah i mean smoothness i work with too many engines

easy enough since smoothness is just 1 - roughness

[rancid whale]

in Krita or similar softwares, you must “add” the Roughness map into alpha channel of metallic map or albedo map,
Inverting it first so it now represents Smoothness instead

https://victorkarp.com/channel-packing-grayscale-textures-in-krita/

Nice, i found the tutorial for that

[azure grove]

either way i would not focus on the inputs unity wants not blender

[rancid whale]

Or make your own URP/Lit shader that does this within Unity,
As I understand constantly computing “1 - Roughness” while the game is running eats up a bit of FPS though. So I abandoned that after building it out in shader graph

[azure grove]

and accept the results will never be 1 to 1 since the shaders are different

and the result in blender was previewed with a hdr texture for lighting

[azure grove]

it does not eat enough to care about

would not even be able to measure the difference

[south lion]

Alright guys thank you very much! i think i kinda made it work

btw how does one unpack the prefabs in the hierarchy now? i am looking for that "Unpack prefab" for ages man 😭

[copper gust]

your not in the hierarchy in that screenshot

[south lion]

sorry i forgot what its called, this place

[copper gust]

no as in

you can't unpack an asset like that

unpacking a prefab is a hiercarchy based concept

[rancid whale]

Maybe for 1,000 instances of a bush / foliage or something.
I’m just saying that in general it’s better to prepare the Smoothness stuff properly, just simpler besides the FPS gain

[copper gust]

what your looking at isn't a prefab either

the mesh and both materials are Sub Assets of your fbx Asset

[azure grove]

you are vastly underestimating how fast a subtraction is

just do what works better workflow wise per case

[rancid whale]

You’ll wanna drag it into scene first, right click, Unpack Prefab Completely
Might not be very useful unless it has multiple meshes within
And lastly Extracting multiple materials / textures is in the Import settings

[south lion]

ohhh alr sorry, but then how can i edit the name of the sub assets and change some stuff from the original?

[copper gust]

That name is initially controlled by whatever you made that fbx in

so the ideal way would be to rename it there iirc

[mossy bramble]

is anyone open to helping me setup a vr game

What is a good way to learn unity? Does anyone recommend any tutorials? ( I know coding and making games, I'm just new to unity), I'm looking for somethign that won't take long but will say everything that I need, and I won't be just copying the code but actually practicing ( I dont like the unity tutorials, im looking for something else )

[inland river]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[young niche]

read the last sentence pls

[gusty abyss]

why must this be 50 bucks dawg

[inland river]

last sentence doesnt change the answer

[young niche]

how does "I dont like unity tutorials" not change the answer

[silver sorrel]

why does ur pfp look ai generated

[inland river]

you can dislike them all you want, if you want a good tutorial resource, thats the most consistent one.

[inland river]

because it is

[young niche]

its too slow paced for me, I will faster quit of boredom than learn anything new

[silver sorrel]

why won't you make it a bluemoji

[inland river]

you could try the non-tutorial way, research on your own, study fundamentals, do projects

[stuck flower]

Whether or not you like them is irrelevant to how useful they are.

[inland river]

tutorials are a waste of time anyway unless you use them to get a quick look at how a solution looks, but for 'learning' they do less than nothing. learning comes from trying stuff yourself, particularly from making mistakes and finding fixes yourself.

after a bit they generalize into principles. and a discovered principle sticks, where one heard in a tutorial gets overwritten by the next one a minute later.

[fleet canopy]

hello, how do i prevent unity from hiding names like this? restarting the editor did not fix it. im using unity 6.3.2f1 LTS
fixed by forcing unity to build a script (no idea how that works but ok)

[rancid whale]

YouTube with specific search queries. I know a couple good channels, that adhere to “best practices”
git-amend, Jason Weimann, TheKiwiCoder
Always take what you learn with a grain of salt. Do your own Google searches, probably anything you are debating “what is the correct/best way to achieve” is already discussed

[slow dirge]

You could read the manual. Skip stuff that you do know. That's probably the fastest and most direct method to learn. Will need to read a lot though.

[rancid whale]

You can always just ask here too. Not everyone is kind enough to send you a YouTube link or something but.

[young niche]

thanks but do you perhaps know any specific video instead of channels? I see they have some tutorials, but Im looking for something like an hour fast paced video, not exactly making a game but learning things like events, prefabs etc. idk what there is in unity

I just want to get started fast

or @rancid whale is there maybe a roadmap on the internet?

[tender thicket]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/index.html

[young niche]

sorry Im not sure what is there that I should look at, but do u maybe know the answer to this?

[young niche]

this

[stuck flower]

You seem to be wanting to get dozens of hours of information in less than one which just isn't going to happen

[rancid whale]

I’m not sure about a “learn everything in one hour” video,
It’s more like “how to advanced implement first person movement in one hour” and stuff like that.
You learn the details along the way 🤷‍♂️

[young niche]

maybe not that much, Im just not a beginner, Id rather to just start doing my own projects ASAP so I can learn by practicing, even if I had to google everything

[young niche]

what about a roadmap? like idk variables -> functions -> events smth like that

[rancid whale]

You’ll be exposed to most of the stuff you need “to build a first person shooter game” in the first person shooter game tutorial lol

Idk about the whole “learning in advance” thing. It’s really more common to learn as you try to build something specific

[azure grove]

figure out what you want to accomplish, break it down into small steps, learn what is needed for those steps, apply to project

[stuck flower]

What like a pathway kind of thing?

[rancid whale]

You’ll find out quickly what you need to learn when you have a specific game you want to build

[stuck flower]

Like, a series of videos that show general concepts starting from something small and building up slightly more complex things until you're familiar enough with the engine to do something more specific?

[rancid whale]

Or just ask here… “Oh i wanna build a Megabonk clone how do I spawn 1,000,000 bullets”
“Object pooling bro”

[young niche]

yeah just not the one on unity learn, I dont like how slow paced it is and in general that there are 10s tutorials and then reading a lot, id prefer to see like I need to learn functions and look for a yt video about functions, then some events and find it on yt

[stuck flower]

[drifting spruce]

Guys would it be possible as a single dev to make a realistic WW1 game like BF1

[stuck flower]

Not really

[azure grove]

how much time you got

[drifting spruce]

5+ years prob

[azure grove]

like think about BF1 being in dev for many years with hundreds of people working on it

[young niche]

@stuck flower what do u think of this? is this all I need

[drifting spruce]

Mid way through I’m gonna pick up some devs to help

[young niche]

this is the kind of thing I was looking for

[stuck flower]

It took over a hundred people four years and two hundred million dollars to make BF1

[drifting spruce]

True

But what if I had 10 years of time with like 10 other devs

[potent geyser]

Nobody knows what your future holds, these are impossible hypotheticals.

[stuck flower]

Then you probably still won't

[drifting spruce]

15 years

[stuck flower]

The fact that you're asking this means you are unlikely to ever make a game of AAA quality no matter how much time you take

[drifting spruce]

Yea ik 😔

I’ll stop asking questions

[young niche]

I dont know unity but tbh you shouldnt focus on that much things, you should focus on just 1 thing like programming or modelling, or some similiar things like UI and music idk

[azure grove]

work on ideas within scope of your abilities you will learn more then hitting your head against the wall trying to do AAA alone

[drifting spruce]

My friend just agreed to make some models for the game. He has like 5+ years of experience with modeling

[azure grove]

i don't think you realize the scale and scope of something like BF1 and how many people of different disciplines it requires

[drifting spruce]

I do realize

But yet I’m still dumb enough to try

I’ll prove all of you wrong when I make a AAA game and have a team of 200 devs

[copper gust]

Ok

[drifting spruce]

Who is you lol

[copper gust]

We get one of these once every couple days

[drifting spruce]

Wait and see

[copper gust]

you’ll figure it out

[drifting spruce]

You guys don’t know the skill that I have when it comes to making games

[copper gust]

Unless it’s more than anyone ever seen before it does not matter

Plenty of cool things you could and might make, just not that

[charred fog]

Keep it on topic, please

[drifting spruce]

What would topic be

[azure grove]

200 devs more or less means you need a publisher so you can afford the 20 million in salary that goes with that

[drifting spruce]

Ik that bruv

[charred fog]

Read the channel description and #📖┃code-of-conduct

[copper gust]

Plus all the work put into previous titles and engine stuff that they are iterating off

[drifting spruce]

I don’t see it

[raven delta]

just tried to get into unity. keeps telling me it can't find my editor license...just used two weeks ago. how do i fix this?

[drifting spruce]

Get other license

Idk

[azure grove]

make sure you are logged into hub, and check if your license activation is in there

[charred fog]

@drifting spruce Stop spamming the channel

[drifting spruce]

I’m not I’m chatting

[charred fog]

@drifting spruce For the last time. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct and don't post off-topic here.

[raven delta]

wont open the program at all

[opal echo]

anyone have any ideas on how to make a game like Gran Turismo 2 inside Unity?

Did you try refreshing your licence in the Hub?

no

how

sorry new to allot of this

[raven delta]

thank you ill try.

[charred fog]

Start with that. If that didn't fix it go to account settings on website and refresh seat assignment there.

[raven delta]

ok

is this a common problem?

[charred fog]

should ask in #🏃┃animation with more details

[short grove]

Hey had to downgrade unity versions
I got the project to work again except for this one error with regards to the URP. Im not understanding it well though can someone explaint his bit to me

[raven delta]

i have looked for the license since i left here. Im just going to uninstall and start again

[charred fog]

You should search the forums on how people reset their free licenses. This doesn't come up here often.

[azure grove]

yeah not even sure how a free one would be reset, like a pro one is easy is to just release the seats from the dashboard and re assign them

[short grove]

Like I figured its with regards to this global settings asset but I don't know exactly how to create a new one

[noble sparrow]

Have you tried putting it in rice

[slow dirge]

I think it should be created automatically. Try opening the graphics settings.
Also, do you have compile errors perhaps?

[gusty abyss]

may someone help me, my unity wont start up, it says

Shader compiler initialization error: Failed to launch UnityShaderCompiler.exe shader compiler! C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/6000.3.0f1/Editor/Data/Tools/UnityShaderCompiler.exe

[short grove]

ah it created one on its own in the root of the asset folder

[slow dirge]

Check if that exe exists and that path.

[gusty abyss]

where do i check it

the um

6000.3.2f1

foler

[slow dirge]

Read the error that you shared... It gives you the path.

[gusty abyss]

thanks

[short grove]

oh dear god

I have never had this happen on a fresh project install

[gusty abyss]

damm

[short grove]

I actually dont know what im supposed to even start to fix this

[teal blade]

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I've tried reinstalling unity 2022.3.22, unityhub, and VRCC. None of those worked. I keep trying to open packagemanager, but everytime it opens, it instantly closes. What should I do?

[gusty abyss]

download a new unity editor, easiest solution

[teal blade]

i've tried 6000.3.2f1, but thats a whole different version and wouldnt work with the project

[gusty abyss]

1 sec

im downloading a new one

[slow dirge]

This is related to the version control package. For some reason a lot of beginners get it recently.
Try removing the version control package and installing the latest version(if you plan on using it).

[gusty abyss]

MY PC IS SO DAM SLOW RN

[short grove]

Ohh shit I must have forgotten to turn it off

No its off by default hold on

[gusty abyss]

do u have LTS versiton?

[teal blade]

for 2022.3.22?

[slow dirge]

I'd start with checking the editor logs for more info.

[teal blade]

cant do that if the diagnostics wont even open either

im gonna try opening with 6000.3.2f1 again and see if that works

[short grove]

oh wow nvm it was in packages its fixed

thanks

[slow dirge]

Of course you can. The editor logs should have some info regardless of the diagnostics.

you really only need to be looking at the most recent logs around the time the issue happened. you can also just delete the log file, restart the editor and cause the issue so that your log file is smaller and it's easier to find what you are looking for

[charred cairn]

hi! i can't really find a straight answer online, so i was wondering how I can check and change the dimensions of my viewport?

[orchid ledge]

this is not meant to be a joke at all am i cooked or will my game still run

[near wigeon]

no you cannot run game with compile errors..

[orchid ledge]

wait so i have to fix these

[vague trail]

perfect for nice day

[near wigeon]

start from the top

[orchid ledge]

ok

[fleet canopy]

dude

[orchid ledge]

theres over 1000

[fleet canopy]

unlikely to be 1000 seperate issues

start from the top like nav said

[orchid ledge]

im making a game engine

[fleet canopy]

whar

[near wigeon]

this isn't unity related

[fleet canopy]

unity is the engine

[orchid ledge]

i make game engine inside unity

[fleet canopy]

i wont lie that doesnt look like c#

[near wigeon]

1. thats not possible, legal reasons aside..
2. you clearly have no idea how that works considering this is React code not c#

[orchid ledge]

wait i messed up that bad

but i spent 5 weeks on this

[near wigeon]

throwing shit at the wall doesn't mean you're painting mona lisa

[oak meadow]

if you have a world space health bar in a 2d game can I make it sort with the player object like using the y sort axis I don't want it above a tree if the player is behind it

[orchid ledge]

huh

i had a stroke reading that idk why

[near wigeon]

its clear what they asked, kiddo if you don't know just don't reply

[worn schooner]

why cant i import a blend file into unity

[orchid ledge]

why is bro so mad

[worn schooner]

just does not work

[orchid ledge]

idk

[charred fog]

@orchid ledge Stop spamming the channel

[charred fog]

You need Blender installed to support

[worn schooner]

ughh

okay

wait

i have blender

[charred fog]

But it basically unpacks it as FBX internally

Support for this feature has been spotty as well, so make sure it's featured in the version you are using

Just export as FBX

[near wigeon]

not with UI you might need to make it sprite renderer

[charred fog]

Well it's more fiddly with UI, you need to have world space canvas.

[near wigeon]

canvas I think has sorting order but you'd have to probably code in something
