[oak meadow]

yeah i would rather use that but the fill image isn't an option with that i think maybe theres a work around

[worn schooner]

ty!

[molten acorn]

is there somewhere i can promote my game

[near wigeon]

check the sorting order on the canvas you might be able to match it to the player sprite?
(possibly might need to seperate UI to a different camera with custom sorting axis)

[storm patio]

there's #1180170818983051344 for dev logs but if you're just looking to advertise then this is not the place

[worn schooner]

thanks man this helped a lot ttyyy

[oak meadow]

ill try it

[charred fog]

If your health bar is without texture you can just scale the sprite, would work just as a fill.

[oak meadow]

Oh yeah that would work thanks

[charred fog]

anchor it to the point from which side you want it filled

[oak meadow]

to anchor it should i use a rect transform instead of a normal transform or would that make it ui i mean i added an image component to a game object then removed the component and the canvas renderer component and the rect transform stayed

Note where the pivot points are.

[oak meadow]

got it thanks

[oak meadow]

I have 3 objects border back ground and health and they are all on the same Order sort layer If i get them to layer like this in the editor can i trust that they will stay that way I don't want the background showing up above the health

[copper gust]

no reason why that would ever be inconsistent

[oak meadow]

cool im just used to blender where if somethings in the same spot it starts to flicker

[copper gust]

ah yeah that's called z-fighting

big difference here is the order is explicitly defined (i believe for sprite renderers thats order sort layer first then hiearchy order after)

[gusty abyss]

Tried godot and it did not go well I much prefer Unity thank you unity for being actually usable

[solar panther]

YES YES YES! MY SETTINGS PANEL IS WORKED!

[pastel echo]

During my tests in Unity, everything worked fine—the player doesn't fall endlessly when transitioning between scenes, and there are no such issues when running the built exe file either. However, after I shared the packaged file with my friends, they reported that the player keeps falling in their case. I'm not sure why this is happening. Could it be that I missed some settings during the packaging process, causing the player's spawn point in the new scene to shift? I'd really appreciate any help on this!

[exotic relic]

Computer speed can be a factor if you have scene transitions, the player character probably loaded before the map could load

Wait till the map loads before spawning the character

[pastel echo]

Thank you for your reply! I suspect the same: the model in target scene hasn't finished loading when player enters the scene, which is causing it to fall. I'm wondering if there is a good solution to this. What comes to my mind is to load the scene first and then load the player a bit later. I look forward to everyone's suggestions.

[exotic relic]

Test it. Put a 3d plane in the scene and the character above it, to guarantee loading time isn’t a factor anymore

See if they can walk off the plane onto your map/terrain

[pastel echo]

OK, I wil try!Thank you very much~😚

[swift oak]

When I import my psb file from Photopea, the part are there. But its invisible?
When I exported it as a psd instead. The parts is not there, but I can see it.

⬆️ This is the psd

[slow dirge]

Inspect the created objects. Do they have all the required components? Do they have the correct sprites assigned?

[swift oak]

Im not sure

I started yesterday

[slow dirge]

Then I'd recommend learning the basics first.

!learn

[vagrant root]

[swift oak]

Like im not new new

I have made games befoer in Unity

but now im back

[slow dirge]

OK, then you should be able to debug the issue..?

[swift oak]

i made a flappy bird game to refresh

[swift oak]

yes, but I dont know what the issue is

it has all the parts that i think it needs

[slow dirge]

Focus on this object in the scene view. Is it somewhere far away perhaps? If still not visible, check the sprite that is assigned. Does it seem to Co rain any data?

[swift oak]

@slow dirge

[slow dirge]

That doesn't explain much. Do these screenshots show different objects? The same? Provide some explanation...

And don't cut you screenshots like that. Take whole window screenshots.

[swift oak]

first one shows i scaled up the stickman to 1000 and it does not show, the second one shows that the lowerrightarm is there but invisible

[slow dirge]

Stickman is an empty gameobject/parent. It's not really related now.

[swift oak]

if i scale up the parent it scales all the childs too

[slow dirge]

Focus on the arm, change the camera to 3d, try rotating around that point. Maybe you're not looking from the right angle.

[slow dirge]

If still not visible inspect the sprite. See if it contains the data, what texture is it made of. Does it contain data?

[slow dirge]

That's not a sprite

[slow dirge]

That's not a sprite either... That's what I'm talking about when I say "learn the basics".

[slow dirge]

But anyways, you can see in your asset preview that it's empty.

[swift oak]

yeah

[slow dirge]

Which might imply that it's an issue with your asset.

[slow dirge]

Can't really help with validating your asset. Might want to ask in #🖼️┃2d-tools

I can only assume that your layers don't contain actual color data. Maybe something like modifiers..?

It could also be an issue with the website that you're using. Might not be saving the file the same way as real photoshop.

[tawny prawn]

I don't know if it's me or this info is really well hidden but... I just want to see what's new in Unity 6.4. Like a bullet point list of major new features? And could not find that anywhere ?!

It's at beta2 now, and I guess the feature set would be determined by now

[charred fog]

Did you find the Release Notes button in the Hub near the Install button?

[tawny prawn]

Is that different than e.g. this ? Which just contains nitty-gritty detailed fixes and some incremental improvements only. Don't have Hub installed on this machine but can check.

[charred fog]

You can go through archive and open first versions https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[tawny prawn]

I didn't find an alpha1 in the archive, just alpha2. Which is still very much an incremental but longer list...
I think what I'm after is something like https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/WhatsNewUnity63.html, but https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/WhatsNewUnity64.html doesn't exist.

Oh well.

[charred fog]

Use subcategories. You are looking for Tech stream versions perhaps

All initial betas are listing existing changes

[tawny prawn]

I did find the release notes page for it: https://unity.com/releases/editor/alpha/6000.4.0a2#notes. https://unity.com/releases/editor/alpha/6000.4.0a1 doesn't exist

[charred fog]

6000.4.0a2 has full feature notes, no references to previous versions

[shrewd zenith]

does anyone who has purchased the FEEL asset reccomend it, or can it be implemented easily

[fair cove]

I dont use it myself, though Godot fundamentally handles making games in a different way than Unity, so if you are used to how Unity does scenes and objects, then Godot will feel unfamiliar, but vice versa, if you are used to building objects with nodes, then using components in Unity will feel unfamiliar - though the more familiar you get with different ways of doing stuff the less of a barrier to entry youll have picking up something new, if your in any way interested in also learning Godot well enough to make games in it, you can apply a similar approach to learning Godot, that helped you learn Unity

[gusty abyss]

my issue was the Editor UI froze my system

[fair cove]

Oh, then I dont think thats a limitation of the engine, theres probably a very specific technical reason why that would happen, assuming you didnt make any infinite loops

[gusty abyss]

I clicked on a dropbox UI

I doubt I did anything too demanding

[fair cove]

Well there could be many reasons, for example could have been memory related, or some compatibility issue with some hardware you have, some issue with a anti-virus or something else, if its a engine you want to use, youll probably have to investigate the cause or they probably have similar "crash logs" as Unity does

[gusty abyss]

Intel i5-10400 and 1080 TI
No Anti Virus

[fair cove]

I wont be able to help you fix that issue, since I dont use Godot myself, I am just pointing out that there could be many causes and youll have to find what the cause is if you want to use that engine on your specific machine, many things influence how software performs on specific hardware (including how much load that hardware is under at the time) since not everyone has the same experience its likely not the fault of the actual editor itself

[raven isle]

I'm having a frustrating problem with the Unity editor. I'm using version 6000.3.2f1, and the same problem existed in version 6000.3.0f1. It seems that when I use custom layouts in Unity, it malfunctions for some reason. Every time I change code or exit playmod, my project screen goes to a random location, and a random code is selected in the inspector screen. It appears this randomly selected file is decided each time I open the project, because it constantly goes there until I reopen it. The problem is resolved when I revert to one of the default layouts. I can't quite figure out what's causing the problem because I can't intentionally repeat it. It happens spontaneously after I create a new layout from scratch and use it for a while, and then when I create a new project and use it there, the same thing continues.

[pseudo lark]

Hey everyone ! I'm new to unity and I have some question with component alignments, can't manage to align stuff to the left and other to the right on my screen in a scrollview, any idea in which channel should i ask ?

[worldly cave]

Is this in the context of ui?

[twilit ivy]

Well basically, I'm trying to make a conversation like this, but as you can see all of my chat bubbles appear on the same row, I can change the alignment of the content to the left but it puts all the bubble to the left, i would like to have my npcbubbleprefab on one side and the playerbubbleprefab on the other side if you know what i mean

[worldly cave]

Im just asking because if so you should ask in #📲┃ui-ux

Not here

[twilit ivy]

Alright thanks !

[reef dome]

make each message sort out its alignment by itself by wrapping it in a full width container, the root should only do the vertical alignment

[potent topaz]

Hi when you select an item in prefab editing mode it show a pale white outline which is not at all useful if you have a white background!! It seems this is hardcoded though and not a preference?

Only fix I found is to add a static editor script to render a coloured outline in OnSceneGUI

[chrome scaffold]

Try changing child outline in Preferences, Colors.

[potent topaz]

This seems to be related to just a few UGUI-type Rect Transform objects. I have realised one fix is switch to rectangle tool and then the selected thing is more obvious!

[shadow heron]

I have been stuck with this issue for a while now #💻┃unity-talk message should I just use the normal camera instead of cinemachine?

[glass depot]

I saw someone say here that lerping any movement is bad practice cus its frame dependant, so what should I use instead?

i want to lerp something important now so how do I do it without making it frame dependant

[hushed hamlet]

I think all of that depends a lot on the context tbh.

If they are talking projectiles, yeah, rigidbody apply force makes sense. Opening a drawer in a horror game, lerp is great.

[plain dagger]

If you use lerp correctly you can move something over X amount of time
That involves increasing the lerp value from 0-1 but scaling with delta time (lerp += Time.deltaTime / 2f)

Vector3.MoveTowards may be what you actually want to move something towards some position by some max amount each update

[potent topaz]

Don't use cinemachine for first person looking, it is for exterior cameras

[plain dagger]

<@&502884371011731486> No memes

[shadow heron]

Only reason why I was using it cause when I used the normal camera and when I did any movement while looking around it was stutter for no reason.

[balmy kettle]

cinemachine is not just for "exterior cameras" and is perfectly viable for first person perspective

[potent topaz]

well I would not bother as it seems a little heavy weight for an FPS, but if you say so

[potent topaz]

I have not had such an issue - it depends how you code the movement & 'looking'

[strange moon]

How to fix this?

Reinstalling didnt work, tried to remove antivirus as well

[plain dagger]

did diagnose do anything?

[strange moon]

Running it now

[plain dagger]

wha why did you not try that?

[strange moon]

thinking it would be same as windows error check thing xD

which never finds the issue

[plain dagger]

what about "Unity package manager diagnostics tool" makes you think that

anyway let it try and if the program is actually missing and cant be restored, re install the editor

[flat breach]

hi, I'm getting this error, do you know what this means ?

yes, the thing is I'm trying to make a simple state machine for an enemy character and I'm calling in the Update() the currentState update function which should be run each frame, the thing probably happening is my code is either wrong and calling every functions at the same time or when I change of state, it maybe runs 2 functions at the same time idk, it's weird

Check the stack of the exception to see how it happened. Also attach a debugger to investigate the faulty logic

so me and my friend started a new project together,he owns the project repo and i just pushed a scene that works on my end,its just some simple camera movement,everything works on my end but on his it wont work,sorry for the bad explanation i really cant figure out what is wrong,i even pushed the project settings

[young niche]

is there still a locking layer unity option? I can't find it

[flat breach]

he has to pull

[storm patio]

how exactly does it not work? you need to provide some details
make sure he's pulled the changes as well

[tranquil coral]

he did pull

[flat breach]

then I don't know, would be better if he tries to find the issue himself and provide probably more details

[tranquil coral]

yeah mb,so normally when you hit play you should be able to move the camera around even if the game isnt focused but on his end it wont move at all,it uses the old unity input handling and i made sure that he also has the old input active

[young niche]

does anyone know?

[flat breach]

when I'm using navmesh and using the SetDestination() function to a position, if the agent is too slow and takes like a too wide angle to rotate towards the position, is the angular speed the issue?

[reef dome]

what would locking them do?

right now there is no option for that, no

[young niche]

that you cant select them in the scene tab

this was an option even in 2022

[reef dome]

No i dont think thats a thing still

[young niche]

I would be quite surprised if they would remove a good option instead of adding something new

[storm patio]

then it's in the same place, just renamed

sorry i had a manual page open and got distracted

[young niche]

it should be here

but it isnt

[storm patio]

ah. i'm in 2022

[reef dome]

oh you want to click through them, now I understand

[storm patio]

i forgot i was a major version behind lmao

Hello guys, I'm making my own 3D horror game and I have a minor problem with the locker. I rewrote my locker script a bit and added something in Unity and it worked as it should, but then I changed the locker size and tried to see if it was okay and suddenly something went wrong, I didn't even understand what exactly, but when I went into the locker, it immediately kicked me out and automatically killed me and the game restarted even though my enemy didn't chase me. I would be very grateful if someone could help me here.

[vivid cedar]

This is all extremely vague and bespoke to your particular game and codebase. You need to debug your code.

[true flare]

I've been trying to do this for the last 3 hours, could someone send me a good tutorial to hiding in the locker or can I just copy the code from someone?

[vivid cedar]

Do you know C# and do you have basic debugging skills?

[tropic charm]

I want to ask a question related to setting up UI

How to make them match? Id google if I knew how to describe this

[potent geyser]

Setting your canvas scale correctly, give it a reference solution, proper UI anchoring and not running your game in Free Aspect (use the same resolution as your canvas reference once, such as 1920x1080)

[craggy pollen]

as Ostseel mentioned, probably forgot to use anchored positioning

[fossil smelt]

Does anyone know why my baking stops at 10%?

I've had this problem for quite a while now, but I can't seem to find the solution.

[tropic charm]

that probably worked, just set the aspect to full hd

[craggy pollen]

you can find out if the ui is correctly positioned by simply resizing the window

it should always stay where it is supposed to

[proud prairie]

Does anybody know how to properly set up a full-body VR rig
I’m currently using Final IK, but I’m a bit stuck on how to structure everything and get it working correctly 😅. I understand the basics, but I’m not confident that my setup is clean, efficient, or scalable.
What I’m aiming for is a solution that is: Optimized for multiplayer (good performance, minimal syncing issues), relatively simple and not overly complex to maintain, compatible with automatic height calibration, since I plan to add that later.

[tropic charm]

yeah it works. Will enable anchor positioning if any other issues occur

Hello everyone! I am trying to make a dream core type game and I am asking for an advice. I want infinitive generating world made with different tile presets. On each of these tiles should be 1000+ flower meshes(they are static and doesn't have any colliders or anything). If I place lots of these flowers manually or with Go Paint asset I get big fps drops and I am trying to make a VR game, so it will probably be even worse. So, how do I place thousands of flowers without loosing a lot of fps? Also, on different tiles there are some additional game objects like buildings.

[tall hearth]

First few questions are these meshes static or dynamic (ie use bones), and what are the triangle/vertice counts on these meshes?

Edit: wait you say they are static totally missed this :/ second question still stands

What do the materials for these plants look like (ie how are you handling the transparancy)

[runic dagger]

There is only one material with a texture. The flower is also just a one mesh

[tall hearth]

That flower is way too detailed sorry to say

Should realistically be no more than 70 vertices for the whole flower

The norm is making flat plans for things like grass and flower stems and just drawing a texture with white space for this instead of a tube

[runic dagger]

OK. I'll try to remake this model tomorrow. But imagine that it is 70 vertices. What should I do to place thousands of them?

[tall hearth]

And petals are just a basic very low poly circle with the texture on that too

[fleet canopy]

instancing

I think using ecs/unity dots

Also that isn’t too detailed if you used instancing because it has to be processed once iirc

[tall hearth]

Still really detailed for it's use

[fleet canopy]

true

[light thorn]

Hii

[runic dagger]

Will I be able to manually place flowers with GPU instacing?

[light thorn]

I saw that

[fleet canopy]

the servers rules allow no off topic

[fleet canopy]

yes

[tall hearth]

You're the one saying "hi" in a non social server :/

[craggy pollen]

do not use mesh for that use textures, you can place a ton of them without any problems

Flat out billboards look ugly, one can compromise with like a 5 intersecting plane meshes

[light thorn]

Are meshes heavy or not at all

[storm patio]

depends

[runic dagger]

I'm making a vr horror game. This will look very bad

[craggy pollen]

not if you use 2 faces (placed like a cross)

[storm patio]

meshes are such a generic thing
it's like you're asking if circles are big

which one, compared to what? etc

[runic dagger]

That doesn't make it any better. It will look like minecraft

[tall hearth]

Add an extra 6 sidded circle at the top for the petals and bam 6 times better it gives another layer of depths when looking right down on it

[craggy pollen]

yes , so there you have it no mesh only 6 faces

[tall hearth]

Is this not a mesh?

I might not know the game dev definition

I assumed you were reffering to a custom made model from something like blender

[craggy pollen]

call it what you want, i just suggested a trick the indutry uses

i used that for my grass and i had the whole screen full with decent amount of fps

[runic dagger]

It would work for PC or mobile game but it won't look realistic at all in VR

[craggy pollen]

you have not tested it out

[plain dagger]

gpus draw meshes so no idea what you are on about

[tall hearth]

Right but a full 3d mesh is far too much especially if you need thousands of them

[plain dagger]

gpu instancing can help but that only avoids the cost of duplicating a mesh in memory and using multiple draw calls to draw each copy

we were trying to reduce the polly count by using texture flowers instead

Alpha cutout/transparency is a good idea and is a better idea vs complex geometry for flowers

Are the players the size of the flower? Like such tactics (small planes that intersect) is what current vr games use and they look fine

[craggy pollen]

yep that is what i used for my grass

[tall hearth]

I'll be home in ~35 i can share an example of what they should look like then, if you'd like

[runic dagger]

Ok

Can we do smth simillar to the terrain system? So flowers that are close to you are displayed as a full 3d mesh and flowers that are far away display as 2D image

[tall hearth]

LOD, yes

[runic dagger]

How do i do it without using terrain?

[tall hearth]

Hmm not sure, haven't done any of that myself before

[craggy pollen]

you place them all manually without the use of terrain paint tool

[plain dagger]

Lod group component

but going from mesh to billboard requires extra steps to make the billboard follow the camera

I have already noticed grasses are very simple to make. Take genshin impact for example, a lot of grass and a plastic feeling, but they are prettu and light

[craggy pollen]

try a unity restart

if that doesnt fix it, post some code

[tall hearth]

here's the example i was talking about, where all it is is a few rectangles and circles that have a texture instead of a full 3d mesh (this example only uses 50 triangle instead of a 3d meshes 1k plus)

[runic dagger]

Also, is there any way to make a good looking fog that also affects the skybox? I've tried turning on fog in Lighting tab but it didn't look good because of the sky box. I've also tried doing it with a shader and the result was very good but fps drops from 180-200 to 47-70 on the empty scene with only a player and a cube

[runic dagger]

I'll try it tommorow

[plain dagger]

maybe something like this (may not work anymore!)
https://github.com/keijiro/KinoFog

Otherwise you just have to get the fog colour to mostly match the horizon

[runic dagger]

OK. Thanks!

[plain dagger]

Fog is done in lit shaders anyway so you can use shader graph to do your own fog quite cheaply

Or some post process that uses depth to add fog (which wont work for transparent objects)

[runic dagger]

I've done that and result was quite good but fps was very bad

But not with shader graph, with code

[plain dagger]

Yea thats not the same

In shader we can use the fragment position/depth to add in some fog colour to the result (post lighting which is hard to do with shader graph 🙁 )

the problem with this is I can't use an angle right? I already know about raycasts and they're small rays which doesn't suit what I want

[tall hearth]

you can have multiple raycasts coming from the same object at different angles calling the same function to give this effect, also pretty sure there's the shape cast types like the box cast and sphere cast that could help as well

For some reason the player slowly slides down when colliding with a wall. any fixes? All I have used are basic 2d collision boxes for the walls

[plain dagger]

Looks like rotation is not locked on the rigidbody 2d so its starting to gain velocity downwards

Btw how is the player moved, physics or translation?

[unreal spindle]

How would I fix that?

[plain dagger]

try freezing rotation on the rigidbody 2d component

its an option so go look

[unreal spindle]

I believe translation

[finite fox]

!q

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called q.

[unreal spindle]

That fixed it but there's still the weird jittering

[plain dagger]

Yea its a bad idea because you are bypassing physics so you want to move with physics forces instead/velocity changes OR use MovePositition
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.MovePosition.html

[finite fox]

The problem has recurred for no reason more than once. What's the problem with you, Unity?

[solar panther]

Hey, where can i send the pic?

[flat breach]

how are boxrays rendered? I just can't see the sizing I gave it

[solar panther]

How ya do FPS Controller?

[flat breach]

what?

[solar panther]

I mean how did you do FPS Controller. My one weren't movin but still worked with no errors.

[flat breach]

Character controller

[solar panther]

Yes.

That's what I've meant cuz I'm so struggled with the errors

Can ya teach me?

does anyone know where i can find the width x height of my viewport in unity?

[fleet canopy]

this?
if you're using free aspect/16:9/16:10 than make a script to print the Screen.(whatever)

[worn schooner]

when im in side of my build my "box" is invisible and from the outside its normal can anyone help me fix this? i thought to flip normals but i cant

[rancid whale]

Unity doesn’t do two-sided rendering by default. How does this look in Blender?

[worn schooner]

looks fine

[plain dagger]

you have to enable backface culling in blender

its not on by default

[worn schooner]

what is that?

[plain dagger]

Its when we only draw the "front" of a face

all game engines do this by default. 3d software does not

[worn schooner]

i see, how can i enable it?

[plain dagger]

then flip normals that are wrong

[worn schooner]

okay thank u!

[rancid whale]

Unity respects the setting and renders both sides?

Why do I remember having to turn on a “double sided” setting in Shader Graph

[plain dagger]

what? you can have a shader/material render both sides or only the backface but this is not stored in the model in any way

Yes its possible to change this but its not the solution here

[rancid whale]

Ohh you’re telling the person to disable 2-sided rendering in Blender so it matches Unity’s default. Got it

[worn schooner]

yoo thanks man, this worked!

[plain dagger]

Yes it lets us view the model as unity will render it by default

[harsh solar]

Does anyone know how to properly setup unity version control? I've setup an organization, devops, I had a really old game setup on devops in the same organization, but it doesn't seem to clear through devops itself.
It seems to create the new thing, but when I press "Start a free trial" under Unity devops it gives me an error.

[jaunty totem]

what does this mean

build basically refuses to open, also this is a new thing for this project

[harsh solar]

I just keep getting these notifications, but I dont have anything on devops. its super weird how can I delete everything on the devops?

[rancid whale]

None of your projects use Unity version control?

[slow dirge]

I have no projects at the moment, Im trying to collaborate with a friend on one (Its a very small project) When I delete it inside of projects, archive and then delete it does it get rid of it from devops

[jaunty totem]

Alr ty, thought crashes looked different

[slow dirge]

You can see the crash report window appear briefly. Also, even if it wasn't a crash, check the logs.

[slow dirge]

Check the version control tab in the dashboard.

[harsh solar]

ty

I will

[solar panther]

It ain’t moving

[harsh solar]

Im so confused

Like when I try to connect it to unity version control from the hub it just says this:

[slow dirge]

Likely due to the free tier usage issue you showed earlier

[harsh solar]

Does it never delete? Like that project was like 2 years ago lmao

and it doesn't show up in unity dashboard

[hidden widget]

Hello everybody , im new to this unity thing , i want to make games and share it here , but i got a little problem , whenever i try to follow a movement tutorial , the movement dosent work , any help is appreciated.. (sorry for my bad english)

[slow dirge]

Did you have a look at the version control page as suggested?

[harsh solar]

Like this stuff?

[fleet canopy]

why do you even want to use unity version control anyway? git (thru github or others) is generally better and cheaper/free

[harsh solar]

I got told unity version control was super easy to setup but I guess it isn't as easy as I thought it would be

[solid ibex]

Hi am trying to create oil liquid in different shapes of container but I don't know how to go about it, please any help or direction will be appreciated

[slow dirge]

Is this the version control page?

[fleet canopy]

are you trying to make liquids/physics or containers

[harsh solar]

My bad, I had to add a payment method and it fixed it all, I just gotta make sure it doesn't go over the limit

[patent coral]

Anybody know why this navmesh isn't baking onto the ground?

[slow dirge]

There's gonna be a small gap between the mesh and a surface.
What scale are you operating at? The smaller the scale/distances, the bigger the gap would look.

[patent coral]

Scale might do it, it's 50x1x50

[slow dirge]

Maybe. Hard to tell. It would be more likely if you were scaling down.

Try baking off renderers instead of colliders.

[patent coral]

Same with renders or colliders, still leaning on scale. I'll make a different floor in blender so it's all 1x1x1

[young niche]

is it possible to add folders for situations like this?

theres so much obstacles that I barely see different objects

cuz it takes so much of hierarchy size

[fleet canopy]

empty gameobjects

[young niche]

oh ok thanks

[sturdy imp]

Create empty gameobject and put them in there as a child objects

[jaunty totem]

finally found the logs that say what is causing my build to crash, but my project is pretty small right now and only has about 100 box colliders in the scene its trying to load - i went through all of them in the hierarchy and couldnt find any with negative scale, how can i find the problem box collider?

[copper gust]

thats not what's causing your build to crash

just a warning before the crash happened

[dusty tinsel]

kind of annoying that a part of the unity essentials tutorial tells u to use the old input system which doesnt work but hey i practically finish all of it and that was my first time seeing it be wrong so ig its not bad

[storm patio]

the old input system still works

if you're getting an error, read the actual error message

[dusty tinsel]

it wasnt letting me do anything until i switched to the new input system 🤷‍♂️ might have to google how to properly undertand errors tho bc i cant understand most

[storm patio]

then google or ask, instead of just assuming everything is inexplicably broken

!input

[vagrant root]

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

[jaunty totem]

Oh damn

How do I know what’s causing the crash

[dusty tinsel]

literally only works if you turn it on as an option which is not intuitive and should not have to be done in a tutorial and i also just dont want to turn on both bc it can cause issues

[modern flint]

i made it

[storm patio]

...which the error tells you to do

also to be clear it's unity 6.1 that changed the default setting

[copper gust]

I do think it's a fair complaint that the offical tutorial stuff doesn't reflect the current standard

[oak meadow]

Does anyone know if Navmesh's surface volume object collection is scene isolated if the physics in my scene is isolated??

[copper gust]

i dont think it would be?

[storm patio]

was it updated for 6.1 at all?

[copper gust]

i mean based on them doing it in a version with that error i just guessed no

[oak meadow]

i mean the physics is isolated maybe it grabs the objects using the same thing as a collider and then it would be?

[jaunty totem]

Found the box, removed it and works now 💀I’ve seen this as an error before and it didn’t cause a crash so idk why now
Oh well
Ty for the help regardless

[copper gust]

🤔

i've seen shipped games with that error

so yeah lol

[tawny quail]

I swear I remember it crashing Lethal Company, or some mods for it. Maybe not tho

[copper gust]

that is the shipped game i mentioned 😛

it cries about it but that's all it does

pretty sure it resolves itself too

[glacial holly]

quick question? where would u go to learn coding, cuz ive been doing 3d modelling for a while now but never gut into coding

[ocean pumice]

!learn if you are into unity coding specifically

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[glacial holly]

kk, would learning it help me understand java aswell?

[ocean pumice]

Java is different from C#. Learning coding all together can of course help in understanding principles and structures of coding in general, but if you want to learn java, google for java courses, tutorials, books, what not.

[glacial holly]

k ty, ill try out that unity coding course u sent

[potent geyser]

To be clear, Unity only uses C#

[storm patio]

(in general) there's 3 major parts to programming:

• Language - The syntax, structure, and paradigm of each language
• Library - The interfaces and utilities that each environment or toolset provides
• Logic - The algorithms to do work at runtime

Logic is almost completely transferrable between each language and environment, you just have to learn the specific Language and Library that you're using
Language is also shared quite a bit between languages

of course, learning 1 part at a time is easier than learning everything at once, which is why tools like scratch or code.org are popular as coding courses for beginners, especially kids, because it only focuses on the Logic aspect
ive written this before, maybe it can help explain

java and c# are structured similarly, so there's quite a bit of experience that's transferrable. but knowing c# won't make you able to code in java, it'll just make it easier to learn java

[glacial holly]

yup

[glacial holly]

oh wow thank you thats very helpful and simple to understand

ty for the explanation that makes things a lot easier

[ruby ridge]

hello I opened a new project on unity and am getting these errors , I havent even changed anything .

I fixed one of the error because it was posted on the unity subreddit

[charred fog]

Did you update all the packages?

[ruby ridge]

It auto updated when i opened the project

[charred fog]

remove packages you are not using or reinstall them

like a Collab one

[ruby ridge]

Oh ok 👍

[torpid wadi]

hey has anyone here figured out how to get TMPro <mark> tags to appear behind text rather than in front of it?

someone here suggested setting geometry sorting to reverse in TMP's extra settings, but it doesn't seem to work https://discussions.unity.com/t/background-behind-text-lines/837468/18

[ruby ridge]

I reinstalled the whole library it is still giving me the same error

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.collab-proxy@1ec4e416a4af\Editor\Views\PendingChanges\PendingChangesTab.cs(1240,9): error CS0122: 'SplitterState' is inaccessible due to its protection level

Should i change the unity version

[storm patio]

have you tried removing the collab package, as mentioned?

it's called version control in the package manager

[ruby ridge]

Oh i could not understand what he said about the collab , I deleted that package and it works fine now

Thanks : D

[charred fog]

If you do need it, you can downgrade the package in the Package manager. It seems they sometimes not working on older versions.

Also make sure you are running at least latest minor Unity version.

[storm patio]

if you don't understand something, research or ask, don't just ignore it

[ruby ridge]

[languid urchin]

Hi, does anyone know why the top of my screen has been crashing when I run Unity?

[still peak]

is there anyway to make tmp like this?

[ocean pumice]

I guess, using some conversion of the image size and using this https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0/manual/RichTextLineIndentation.html could give you the result you want

[still peak]

okay i will try it, thanks

[languid urchin]

Why does the loading screen stop responding when I open a game?

[ocean pumice]

Does not make it any clearer for anyone... we dont know your game/project, we dont know your specs. Did you check the logs? (google on where to find editor logs and read them)

[languid urchin]

ok

[languid urchin]

It's version 2022.3 that doesn't work

[slow dirge]

You'll need to provide some more info. What/when/how crashes? Look at the logs, share relevant messages, etc...

[potent geyser]

Also how does a "top of the screen" crash 🤔

Screens don't crash

[languid urchin]

It's strange, that section of the screen turns black, any clicks you make in that area don't respond at all, it only fixes itself when I close Unity from the task manager

[potent geyser]

Like this? But for the top?

Try resetting your layout in the layout dropdown at the top right of the editor.

[languid urchin]

Well, I don't know what it is, but it works now.

[gaunt siren]

is it possible to use a skybox/cubemap material to make a background for a 2D game ?

[languid urchin]

No, that was happening on the screen; it was visible in the desktop background, browser, games, and even Unity itself. In fact, if that strip was very large, none of the window buttons (minimize, maximize, etc.) would work.

[slow dirge]

Sounds like an issue with your GPU.

[languid urchin]

This computer is new, it's only a week old ._.

[slow dirge]

Doesn't really contradict what I said.

It could be drivers or maybe memory corruption. Hard to say, but likely not unity specific issue.

[lilac flume]

i have a problem that burst compiler just wait and doesnt finish. i closed and opened the editor few times and it still happening

it is been few mins but it is still 5 27

does it usually take this long?

[ocean pumice]

Depends on your project. if its big, it can take long

[lilac flume]

it is acctually a small project and it was still compiling for like 8 mins with no progress

[gusty abyss]

Why must Unity Editor Light mode look hideous

[tender thicket]

Why use light mode

[gusty abyss]

cause I much have everything consistant

if my pc is in lightmode everything has to be

discord is in light mode aswell

[wraith pasture]

Alt+Tabbing while baking lights or doing the MLP generate volume corrupts the editor until I restart it again. I'm on mac and using URP on Unity 6.3.2f1. Is this a known problem?

And no the pink texture is not from a wrong material shader. It looked fine before and will again as soon as I restart Unity

Terrain also just missing parts

Again, it will fix itself after a restart but kinda annoying so maybe any known fixes?

[flat breach]

You just said it was

[lilac flume]

light mode is bad for eyes in long term but it is ur choice

[gusty abyss]

impossible

whats wrong with blasting millions of light rays into my eyes every second

I tried to install unity editor 6-3, and was having troubles with it: each time I tried the validation of the install failed. I tried to run it as administrator but there were no different results. Then at an another attempt unity got me with the error message that’s on the screenshot. The refresh button doesn’t do anything nor does re - entering the hub. What do I do, and, I would also like for an answer: what’s the solution to validation errors?
Also I would like to know if the solution you offer applies to older unity versions.

[storm patio]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[vivid cedar]

Do you have any joysticks or controllers plugged into your computer?

[austere seal]

yes i have a wheel plugged in. So I fix it by unplugging it? Or theres a better fix?

Idk you tell me

If your wheel is providing the input then that's the issue

Check

Do not run people's questions through ChatGPT and pretend it helps. It's against the rules of the server

[errant jewel]

i used gemini lol

[balmy kettle]

still against server rules #📖┃code-of-conduct

and it's bad form to just drop revised code with no explanation, that's not conducive to learning

[errant jewel]

kk

[exotic relic]

even worse

[errant jewel]

Guys how long did it take to fully learn whatever language unity uses for coding

[fleet canopy]

you can’t

nobody “fully learns” a language

you can become really good at it but you’ll always learn some new method or new way of doing the same thing

[worldly cave]

It also varies massively person to person

Someone who started with c# is going to need a lot more time to learn it than someone who has experience with other languages

Better yet experience with c or c++

[vivid cedar]

They also evolve over time so there are new things to learn.

[worldly cave]

Like i said in #💻┃code-beginner this is an ultra specific and also very loaded question with no 1 correct answer

Also i promise you your idea is not as valuable as you imagine it to be

Ideas in general are actually worthless considering just how many there are lol

[charred fog]

Unless you are here to learn Unity, you are in the wrong place.

[worldly cave]

Imo if you want to start making games this is a bad way to approach it as well

If your first thought is money and success you are just setting yourself up for dissapointment lol

Especially if you havent even used unity for 2 weeks atp....

[woeful spear]

whens the next version of nudity 6 coming

[oak meadow]

The old navmesh surface had an option to collect objects in children do any of these do that too?

[balmy kettle]

consider looking at the docs to see what each of those options does

[oak meadow]

how do i find the new docs on it because the only one i found has that option

[balmy kettle]

google?

click the (?) button that should take you to the component's documentation?

[flat breach]

hi, do you guys would recommend me a good box size for a BoxCast() if I want to use it for a field of vision? Like a Vector3 for the halfExtents

[potent geyser]

Are you actually asking something that vague?

If so, then 11.

[strange moon]

I would say 17

[stuck flower]

I'm gonna go with 6

[flat breach]

well yes, I'm asking for something realistic for a vision but a little difference wouldn't change that much, it's just a little question

[flat breach]

can you give me the vector3 please? 11 is the x? that doesn't seem to be realistic

[stuck flower]

Number, number, number

[flat breach]

11, 11, 11 you mean? sorry if I lack of comprehension

[stuck flower]

Sure, if you want

Just pick whatever numbers

No one can give you a magic number that works in all cases

Pick the value you actually want

[flat breach]

man.... I'm just trying to learn, if my question looked stupid to you, you haven't got to answer it, I bet there are some people here who have already done this and probably have some numbers in head, sorry if my question was inapropriate.

[flat breach]

okay, that's what I'll do thank you.

[stuck flower]

No one can see your project. We cannot possibly pick numbers that make sense for you. With no information as to what you actually want to detect or what scale your game world even is, we can't really give anything more involved than"pick some numbers"

[fading bough]

Hello, has anyone here ever done manual cleanup of the MonoBehaviour base class? I want to clean it up as much as possible, but I'm scared. AI also doesn't recommend it and can't suggest anything, and it somehow doesn't get searched on Google

[flat breach]

you're absolutely right, I have probably have a brain issue, a trauma or something like that, I'm really asking stupid questions, sorry for wasting your time.

[stuck flower]

What do you mean by "manual cleanup"? I don't think you can even change the base MonoBehaviour class without Source access at the highest tiers of Unity Pro

[fading bough]

I'm on the Linux version of Unity. It seems possible here.

[stuck flower]

I don't think you can actually make any changes to this in any way that would stick.

And if you can, you definitely shouldn't

[fading bough]

Can

[tawny quail]

I don't know exactly what you are doing, but if you mean something like ai vision (to see the player, etc). You can do something like this which is quite common https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EL2MVgVrso aka fire some rays in a cone toward the target or along where the ai is looking, and check how many rays hit the target. Then you can simply check if at least 1 sees it, do something. Or can make it percentage based instead.

[balmy kettle]

this is decompiled code, you aren't making any actual changes to the code in the engine

like, you can clearly see that this is in a temporary path

[stuck flower]

You're changing a copy of the file and none of your changes will have any effect on anything

This file will cease to be when you restart

[fading bough]

Hmm... okay, I'll try to make Debug.Log work.

[fading bough]

A.. ok

[tender patio]

hey what are some good tutorials for the start and what should I stick to when I learn, I tried the unity tutorials but didnt go far, I want a plann to follow for what to learn, and for 3d

[balmy kettle]

!learn 👇 do the actual pathways on the unity learn site. start with Unity Essentials, then move into Junior Programmer

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[flat breach]

ohhh okay thanks, that's exactly what I want to do

[fading bough]

Once again. I'm on the Linux version. And yes, I just completely restarted the project and VSCode, and my comment in MonoBehaviour has been preserved.

[balmy kettle]

this is still not modifying the actual engine code, this is still just a temporary file

[tender patio]

I did it before

[balmy kettle]

you completed the pathways? if yes, then you need to start making stuff with the knowledge you've gained so you can get experience

[stuck flower]

How about you just go fucking ruin this file. Add random key strokes, delete random lines, just mangle it beyond recognition.

Then go hit run and see if the game works

[tender patio]

I mean only a part but I would like a tutorial that explains how to do things not just copypaste, like I kinda know what raycast is but dont know how to use

[balmy kettle]

that's literally what the pathways are for

they teach concepts in a structured manner so that you aren't just floundering and wondering what you need to look up next

and do note i am referring to the pathways on the site, which are comprised of many courses/tutorials, not just individual tutorials

[tender patio]

I did the car lesson some months ago but didnt really help

https://learn.unity.com/course/3d-stealth-game-haunted-house is this a good tutorial ?

[balmy kettle]

do you already have an understanding of the basics? if yes, then sure it's probably a good tutorial to go with now
if no, then you need to learn the basics first

[tender patio]

what do you mean bt basics ? as in the unity screen I know it and know functions,variabels,while,class

[balmy kettle]

at this point, if you don't want to take the advice to complete the pathways, what are you expecting from this conversation? are you expecting me to validate your attempt at skipping learning the fundamentals so that you can get to the "make a game and be super rich and famous" step?

[tender patio]

I tried to take the junior pathway but didnt helped me as in I want to know what should I learn for a basic game and where to learn, and I know that you cant make a game and be rich

[plain dagger]

At the start you have to do tutorials to learn the basics but at some point you need to leave "tutorial hell"

thats when you just try on your own (while using the unity docs and other resources)

[balmy kettle]

I want to know what should I learn for a basic game
so the pathways, which are structured to teach exactly that information aren't good enough?

[strange moon]

Make sure you dont stay in tutorial hell for long

[tender patio]

the thing is I dont want to make the next big game just some simple games like Rye and Banji do

[strange moon]

Are there good open source unity games that I should check out?

[tender patio]

yeah ik, I tried learning but I had school now I am in highschool so I have more time

[strange moon]

high school means more time?

[tender patio]

I mean 9th grade yeah for now

[strange moon]

9th grade was when I played a unity game non stop

I didnt even think about creating something my own

New generation is way more tech heavy

[fading bough]

Yes, you're right. It doesn't affect anything.

[tender patio]

only this cuz the rest are on youtube shorts :)))

[stuck flower]

Yeah, it's a decompiled copy so you can see what it's doing. It's not the one that's actually run

[fading bough]

But you can decompile their files! But they're probably encrypted and stuffed with garbage code...

[stuck flower]

You can't edit the MonoBehaviour and have it actually do anything

[strange moon]

Keep going man! Create your games. Learn it! It will be very helpful for your future

[stuck flower]

You have a decompiled copy. You'd need to recompile it after changing which is almost certainly impossible without having every file's source, including the ones that are part of the native C code

[fading bough]

Can I change their code? It's just going to be a pain in the ass and take a long time

[stuck flower]

You won't be editing the base MonoBehaviour class. You also shouldn't

[tender patio]

thanks I will try to look only on good tutorials cuz a cookie clicker might not help as much as a 3d

like the monkeycode with kitchen can help to learn about interaction,functions and game design

[balmy kettle]

you seem to be hung up on this "3d" vs "2d" thing when it comes to learning, but there's almost no difference when it comes to the code and the concepts you will learn

[strange moon]

Im having major issues making my unity project aot ready for IL2CPP. Any suggestions how to speed it up with tools?

[fading bough]

thx for help man

Really, thanks. I realized something.

is there a way to make tags not disappear that fast? im so close and it is almost invisible

[shut cipher]

I have a unity version control issue.Should I ask it on discord or on unity official website?

[azure grove]

play with these settings

i often just turn off 3d icons

so they stay visible at all times and do not fade

[frozen bridge]

I swear I read that in Unity 6 there was no more seperate URP/HDRP ect and it was all handled under one thing. Is that right and I just made the wrong type of project or is that not correct lol

[balmy kettle]

there is a plan to unify them, but it has not yet happened

[frozen bridge]

Ah ok will look for that in 2030 then haha, thanks for the reply.

[outer halo]

hi is there a channel here i can ask form some vrchat sdk unity help , ive asked mutiple times in the offical vrchat discord and there appears to be only one guy running tech support and he doesnt know what the error is or how to fix it

[fleet canopy]

no, the only place is the vrchat discord

[outer halo]

welp a dead end on both sides

[stuck flower]

then you'll need to figure it out on your own

[outer halo]

if i could i wouldnt be asking for help

[wind escarp]

HELP i just HATE that thing: ''(Anything) Repaint'' or ''(Anything) Paint'' like OH MY GOD, when i enter the scene, this starts to show in the screen AND IT DOESN'T STOPS I ALREADY GOT AN 1 HOUR MESSAGE OF THE SCENE VIEW PAINTING AND REPAINTING.

Hello, I'm having a problem with animation rigging.

I'm working on a procedural walk animation. I animate my character first, then I'm supposed to calculate the ground distance of each foot and the target's height. The problem is, my IK (Index of Distance) seems to be calculated before I change the target's position, so the leg stays in the position it was in before the calculation.

Do you have any suggestions? I can provide screenshots if needed. Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a problem i just reset my pc and i didn't make backup but i though it was on the cloud of unity, how can i get one of my project back ?

Do i need to go on another app?

[slow dirge]

Did you ever push the changes to the cloud/version control? It doesn't happen automatically.

[honest elk]

Uhhhh when i right click on my project it said remove to the cloud

Soooo i though it was auto

[slow dirge]

"Remove to the cloud "?

[honest elk]

Yes i think, before i reset my pc i verify and when i right click on the project it said something with cloud

[slow dirge]

And no, it doesn't happen automatically. The project is linked to the cloud, yes, but its contents are not automatically uploaded.
You need to use version control proactively for it to be uploaded.

[honest elk]

Okay thanksb

[slow dirge]

If you didn't do it, then it's probably lost.

Can you stop adding unnecessary noise to this server? Also, you couldn't use this for anything, anyway.

[sonic ferry]

anyone seen this error before? Ive tried putting the step offset in the char controller component of the vr player but doesnt change anything. When trying to change scenes, it lags a ton so im assuming it's because of this (100+ of the same error)

or perhaps a way to silence these errors? Sadly i dont get additional info

[stuck flower]

0 is not positive

You need to give it a positive step offset

[sonic ferry]

my bad, I meant to say ive put it at one and didnt change anything

🤔

[slow dirge]

Perhaps you have several objects with CC. Make sure it's positive on all of them.

Does it stay at one but give an error, or does it change back to 0

[sonic ferry]

it was the multiple CC 😅

just annoying sometimes the console just gives an error with no line, or specific component to point to

[stuck flower]

If you click on it, it should highlight the object

[sonic ferry]

it wasnt was the problem

it took some googling to find out it was the CC to begin with, which is when i tried changing it to 1

Hey folks could someone point me in a good direction to learn how to make a really basic multiplayer game? I googled unity multiplayer and I'm having a hard time discerning what's good, what's still up to date, what's an hidden ad for some networking service, etc lol

Something beginner friendly please 🙏 . I'm not trying to make something super competative. I want to make a repo-like

[copper gust]

Not to put you off making stuff but to be completely transparent any multiplayer stuff won't be beginner friendly, let alone lethal esque stuff

Multiplayer programming in terms of specifics and just general code composure is a whole subject layered ontop of standard programming knowledge

[fleet canopy]

beginner x multiplayer = not existent

i think unity's templates/learn might have a multiplayer template though

if you feel like you want to give it a go then you can have a look through the samples if you dont understand anything you migth have to come back to this later then

[buoyant citrus]

How do I fix these

[storm patio]

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

[buoyant citrus]

Its more errors but I cant send them through but alright

[buoyant citrus]

How would I do that again?

[storm patio]

which part?

[buoyant citrus]

ohh wait ykw

I think they are cause I did delete some of them and now those red errors arent there anymore

I deleted the red ones

Now I have all these to do

figure out

[rustic zenith]

why would you delete packaxes

packages ASTERIX (since the msg got blocked with an asterix symbol)

[charred fog]

Some packages might require latest minor version of Unity editor to work, check that you are up-to-date.

[sharp fog]

Hi everyone. I saw some recent posts on birp and possibly other render pipelines becoming less performant when going from 6.2 to 6.3. Is there any news on that? Bit hesitant to transition.

[exotic relic]

No one can answer that except you, how your tree looks is up to you. You can use a LOD system though which will allow for lower detail when the player is far away

[gusty abyss]

its more like background trees and i am going for realism

check the dev logs the project by the name Silent rows is the one you can see the trees in the background

[exotic relic]

Use it as a prefab, make your scene how you like it. If it’s running badly you can edit the prefab and that will apply those changes to all of the trees.

[gusty abyss]

okay

[exotic relic]

Those trees look nice. If you aren’t having any performance issues right now, don’t worry about it

[gusty abyss]

thanks i found a way to fix it now the new ploy count is 1k and it still looks the same

[exotic relic]

Awesome! For background trees I’m sure it could be lower, but 1k isn’t going to be trouble (can vary on how many trees)
In game view there is actually a button called Stats, there you can see how many total polygons is being rendered in the camera

[gusty abyss]

thanks for the tip

[pastel echo]

I made a demo in Unity where I placed an empty GameObject near a door, added a Box Collider to it, and set it as a trigger so that I can detect OnTriggerEnter. When the player moves into this collider, I use SceneManager to load a target scene and move the player to a predefined spawn point in that scene (the spawn point is an empty GameObject in the target scene, and the player is positioned at that object’s transform).

In the Unity Editor and in the built executable on my own computer, scene transitions work correctly. However, after I sent the built .exe to my friends, they reported that when the player approaches the door, the player does not appear at the correct spawn point. Instead, the player sometimes appears in a location without a floor and falls downward.

I have three questions and would appreciate any help:

Why does the player sometimes fail to land exactly at the spawn point?
This seems to be a probabilistic issue and happens very randomly. Sometimes the player spawns correctly, and sometimes an error occurs. (The exact behavior can be seen in the video.)

Why does everything work perfectly in the Unity Editor and in the built executable on my own computer, even after entering and exiting the room 20 times, but consistently fails on my friends’ computers?

Why does the player appear to be floating and not tightly attached to the ground, even though I apply gravity in my code?

The following script is attached to the empty GameObject near the door. As soon as the player enters this trigger, it loads the target scene using SceneManager. In the Unity Editor, the debug logs show that other.transform.position and spawnPoint.transform.position are identical:```using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using System.Collections;

public class DoorTrigger : MonoBehaviour
{
public string targetSceneName;
public string spawnPointName;

public PlayerMovement playerMovement;

public bool debugLog = true;

void Update()
{
    if (playerMovement == null)
    {
        GameObject player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
        if (player != null)
        {
            playerMovement = player.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
        }
    }
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (!other.CompareTag("Player")) return;

    playerMovement.canMove = false;

    GameObject player = other.gameObject;

    AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(targetSceneName);
    asyncLoad.completed += (operation) =>
    {
        GameObject spawnPoint = GameObject.Find(spawnPointName);
        if (spawnPoint == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        playerMovement.canMove = true;

        player.transform.position = spawnPoint.transform.position;
        player.transform.rotation = spawnPoint.transform.rotation;

        Debug.Log("player.position: " + other.transform.position);
        Debug.Log("spawnPoint.position: " + spawnPoint.transform.position);
    };
}

}

[sharp fog]

@pastel echo do you save anything to disk or something qhen moving to th3 n3xt scene? Also i 5hink this is the wring chann3l for that question

Sorry butterfingers

[copper gust]

The thread in code gen was right place

[pastel echo]

sorry,could you please tell me why is wrong channel.It is not a unity relate question?

[pastel echo]

I think so,maybe is not code's question

[exotic relic]

That’s because computer speed is playing a factor. Your computer is always testing the game at the same speed and you know it works. But your friends have different loading times.
The player is reaching the room faster than the floor scene could load.

This is common too when spawning in a player, sometimes the map loads too slow and the player starts falling down since it already spawned

[pearl oyster]

Either channel is ok, but pick one, don't post to both. Cross-posting is not allowed

And by either channel I mean either #💻┃code-beginner or #1390346827005431951 , didn't notice the channel

[sharp fog]

This may very well be it.

[pearl oyster]

it's not

[sharp fog]

Anyone have a note on this one?

[pastel echo]

Oh,I understand!I come to discord just 4days,don't know the rule.Sorry,I won't do that the next time~

[pastel echo]

I don't save anything to disk or something

[exotic relic]

I’ve seen this issue many times. And in my own experience, I have had to check for a additive scene to be finished loading before spawning the player

[pearl oyster]

The scene load here is not additive

[pastel echo]

OK,I will check if the scene load finish,and my computer is absolutely old.🥺

[exotic relic]

They described above their code that it is

[pearl oyster]

and even if it were, the callback runs after the scene has loaded

[exotic relic]

Doesn’t matter. I’ve had similar setup and on one of my computers I’d fall through the map whereas my new pc I don’t fall through. Same build different pc speed

[pearl oyster]

Well for one, they don't, and even if they did Unity uses the code to compile the game, not Discord comments

[copper gust]

Their code does this

[exotic relic]

They are falling through the floor yes… in their main scene they have no floor. Their character reaches below the intended floor Y level faster than the additive scene could load. By the time the additive scene spawns the house floor their character has already flown past the floor

[pearl oyster]

That is 100% not what's happening here

[copper gust]

That does not matter when the code is intended to set the player position to the spawn point after it loads

[exotic relic]

That part I misunderstood. Still, you would want to make sure the scene loads before the player spawns. So I’m glad to have mentioned the point anyways

[storm patio]

what is going on here...

[copper gust]

I don’t know it this is the issue but just a random shot in the dark @pastel echo

Dunno what the order of execution is on that async callback but could be worth calling this at the start of that anonymous function?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.SyncTransforms.html

[frigid plank]

Why are there no voice calls in this server? I feel like they would be extremely useful

[storm patio]

because it wouldn't actually be conducive to the goals of this server

[pearl oyster]

The completed callback of scene load doesn't just randomly trigger halfway through before the load is finished

[copper gust]

Can’t be moderated and means any information taught in them is not accessible after the fact

And can’t be corrected if it’s wrong

[frigid plank]

Right but wouldn't it make troubleshooting a lot easier

[copper gust]

Better for giving people fish, not for teaching them how to fish

[storm patio]

community help servers like this work publically and asynchronously
questions are public, anyone can answer. answers are public, anyone can read, correct, or invoke further discussion
questions here last, you don't need to be lucky to have someone active at the same time. and if someone tries helping but isn't able to, they can come back later, or someone else can try with the info that's already there. other people can search for similar discussions or issues to their own, or learn passively as they read through previous discussions.
ephemeral and private spaces (VCs and DMs, respectively) lost both of those benefits.
additionally, VCs are hard to moderate, and DMs are impossible to.

[exotic relic]

With over 100k users in this server I’m sure vc would just get interrupted constantly

[storm patio]

for the official stance, you can read here #1180178376028327936 message

[storm patio]

tl;dr a community help server works because of the community. a VC removes the community.

[gusty abyss]

how is this tree does it look good

[frigid plank]

I was working on a world to create I was so close but I can't find anyone that could help pinpoint the problem I fear I will have to start all over again

[storm patio]

well, what's the issue

[frigid plank]

Rendering distance for player I've tried for hours to fix it modifying adding removing the cameras in the scene but nothing worked

[pastel echo]

Thanks for your reply~

[pastel echo]

What do you think of how to fix this random bug?

[storm patio]

..what is the issue?

you haven't given any context to work with

[pastel echo]

I will try,thanks for your help~

[exotic relic]

You could move those sorts of things into your dev log. I think the tree is fine. You’ll know more when you actually put it in the game. You mentioned it being a horror game and a background tree, you may not see much details in the dark anyways

[frigid plank]

When you are in play mode models that are to far away are being cut off from vision

[gusty abyss]

i okay

[storm patio]

that would be clipping planes/culling doing their job, probably

[exotic relic]

This could either be a LOD system on your model. Or you need to increase your far distance in the camera settings

[frigid plank]

no lods far distance resets every time I enter play mode or update the world

This is depressing

[fallen dragon]

Is this a known bug?
Every time i recompile and there is no active selection or i open editor it just peeks selecting an absolutely random script from packages

sometimes it happens even if i have an gameobject selected and it just annoys me

[exotic relic]

Is there any errors in console? And is that Linux?

[fallen dragon]

Windows, No

[exotic relic]

What editor version

[fallen dragon]

6000.3.0f

it didnt happen when i was on 6000.2

[exotic relic]

.0? The LTS is .1 I think

You can try upgrading

[storm patio]

no offtopic here, mate. perhaps take some time to read #📖┃code-of-conduct

[fallen dragon]

0f1

[storm patio]

the latest lts version is 6.3.2f1

[fallen dragon]

i see

i dont see updating worth it, im working with other people

[storm patio]

technically the LTS is just 6.3 as a whole

[exotic relic]

Hmm really? My HUB doesn’t show it

[exotic relic]

Yea, my hub only has that LTS version as well. I don’t have that inspector issue.

[echo saddle]

im using bakery lightmapper from the asset store, when i bake using shadowmask with one light it works fine, but when i put a second one the lightmapps break

they're far away from each other with small range too

[feral smelt]

Understanding Interpolate and see the diffrence after 12 hours of figureing out is amazing af

[gusty abyss]

how hard is it make a simple multiplar system for a normal game

[pearl oyster]

Depends what is simple and what is normal, but somewhere between hard and very hard

[gusty abyss]

like for a normal horror game where its mostly basic mechnais and latencly is not a huge problem

[hard forge]

Where do ppl find investors for huge projects and where would I publish a game that contains a good amount of gore, psychological elements and just straight up horror.

[copper gust]

Honestly there is very little if any places for that kind of project

[sly lake]

Does Unity always reload scenes when exiting play mode or is this something I messed up?

[copper gust]

I’d imagine it must, no?

[hard forge]

U think steam would accept it?

[copper gust]

Unless it has stuff about minors generally yeah

[deft rock]

do market research to find out what your competition does and where they are.

[hard forge]

I’ll definitely be adjusting some core details of my game’s idea

[storm patio]

you're basically asking if disabling scene reload affects exiting playmode, right?

i did find this about domain reload when exiting playmode
https://discussions.unity.com/t/editor-domain-reload-and-or-scene-reload/743777/16

[sly lake]

Yes, that's disabled.

But it seems the reload is unavoidable and I should probably focus on making it faster.

[storm patio]

that line of questions didn't mention scene reload but i feel there's probably similar differences from entering

i mean it is part of "enter play mode" settings, so i guess it rightfully shouldn't affect exiting play mode

[copper gust]

Does the scene not have to reload in order to return back to editor state?

[sly lake]

That would make sense

I suspect it's the fact that I added music, and forgot to set it to stream.

[gusty abyss]

thinks need to stay under the limit only then steam allow it

[copper gust]

This guy xy problemed, get him !

[sly lake]

Nah

The reload was taking an insanely long time, so I was wondering if it was avoidable altogether.

See, I have my own scene management so I figured it was possible my code was triggering it. But from the profiler stack it doesn't look like it is.

[light thorn]

Is it possible to make a 3d game with a potato pc

Smth with the graphics of PS2 metal gear or below

[strange moon]

Yes I have a game that runs on potato pc

[slow dirge]

If you can run games of similar scale/quality, you can probably develop it, though it might require a bit more resources during development.

[light thorn]

I don't have a dedicated gpu, only an integrated one. My cpu is a Ryzen 5 5600gt

It can run games past 2019/2020 (not ark 😭)

I think it wouldn't have any problem running ps2 games so it should be fine to make them

[shadow heron]

I have been stuck on this problem for a while now and I am losing it. I made a head bob effect and it is rotating on the X axis and the issue is that its locked on that axis and I have no idea how I can make it relative to the direction I am looking. As I am using cinemachine for my camera / looking around I used GetFinalOrientation idk if I used it correctly but now when I move my mouse it spins the camera really fast. any ideas how I can fix this?

Script: https://paste.ofcode.org/s3z9XEysbsn5TRFg4Uin87

[ocean pumice]

is GetFinalOrientation returning a world or local pos? Because if its world, you are mixing up coordinate spaces

That would explain, why your camera rotates wildly around all axis

[shadow heron]

How would I check? I never used GetFinalOrientation before. I am assuming world space as the rotation is local space. I just want to to follow / relative to the tracking target so it looks normal in all directions.

[tropic oyster]

I feel like I’ve reached a point where initial inexperience and initial design decisions are biting me and I want to rewrite my entire codebase. Anyone have thoughts on that?

[ocean pumice]

your cameras orientation will be world rotation most likely. so if you need the local one, use your cameras local rotation instead. I am not that familiar with cinemachine, but maybe there is also an option to add effects to your camera?

#🎥┃cinemachine might be the right place to ask

[dusky forum]

Sure why not. But that's normally something a person would do when encroaching upon new challenges and often not very productive.

[tropic oyster]

Well for example, I have some god objects that I’ve shoehorned a ton of functionality. And these are running into a ton of race conditions on initialization and multiplayer. And the systems I have written are janky and written with a “get it working” mentality

Not to mention impossible to serialize

And tightly coupled

[dusky forum]

My suggestion would be to completely finish the current iteration then start anew with another project. Having properly designed the system using past experience before implementing it.

[shadow heron]

I did but no answers unfortunately. Should I just use the normal camera instead? As any issues that occur with cinemachine camera no one knows how to fix it.

[dusky forum]

If this is some long term project for 10+ years or if you're just experimenting and not concerned about productivity then any choice is acceptable.

[tropic oyster]

I mean this is my dream game, and the scope is fairly large. Which, I know, is a bit of a mistake.

I’ve worked on it for about a year

I want it to have a strong foundation so it is scalable

[sly lake]

You can absolutely do 3D rendering on that GPU, and the CPU is adequate. I'd be more concerned about RAM.

Not very fancy 3D rendering, it's quite antiquated and low power of course.

[light thorn]

I have 16gb

[sly lake]

Yeah, that'll be the struggle. Dev tools love RAM.

[storm patio]

super mario 64 is on the nintendo 64 and was made on similar grade hardware

[light thorn]

I was saving to buy more ram but the prices raised more than my mom's expectations on my cousin

Hiii

[light thorn]

Back then when game devs used to care even about the characters to save memory

[copper gust]

nowadays they can't care to that level

[sly lake]

Probably didn't by that point anymore either.

[storm patio]

something something half the game is just a cutscene

[copper gust]

nah mario had some fairly careful stuff i think, to the point that they made it worse

Kaze's videos are goated if your not familiar

[light thorn]

We didn't have much memory available back in N64, or did we

[copper gust]

we did not lol

[light thorn]

Right

[copper gust]

nice lil' 4mb

[storm patio]

that's a thousand times more than the memory on saturn V

[light thorn]

Less than a mobo's bios chip

[sly lake]

But now a single texture will take up more storage than all the code in your project so it doesn't really pay to care about it unless you really messed something up.

[light thorn]

About the code I'd care more about algorithm efficiency

[flat breach]

hello, I want my enemy to have an Alert state, basically setting its destination to a sound source position when a sound is emitted there, but I don't really know how I should proceed to make the Sound Detection system, I've thought about making a Sound script with a transform and a range and another simple script with Physics.OverlapSphere(); with the Sound script range and source and taking all the colliders in it and if there's a collider with a certain script < RespondToSound(); but in this case the issue is I'll have to give instructions into a certain function and this will be called out of my state machine, I'd like to manage everything into my state machine, do you guys know how I can do?

[subtle owl]

Make script with StateMachineBehaviour -> In OnStateUpdate() call your function?

Don't understand the issue then you can make a check-function and call it in animator.

[flat breach]

yes , but calling the RespondToSound() in the Alert state's Update() would just set the position to the source but I also need to be switching to this state first and note that in my current "System" this function gets called whenever a sound is played and outta the StateMachineBehaviour, I hope you understand, if not I can try to be more precise

[pseudo harbor]

I got my own project I've been working on for a few months already and I for sure ain't gonna pivot anytime soon, but I do have this one monster design that I really love and think would be a great fit for a horror game. I'm not really that much into the horror genre, but I do know that it sells like hotcakes when done well.
What are the current trends in the horror genre outside of mascot horror (which my monster wouldn't really fit in unless you're counting the alien from alien isolation as mascot horror as well)? What are some elements that are really stale, where is the genre heading in?

[crude robin]

Is the intel core i5 13420H good for unity?

[sly lake]

As long as it's paired with enough RAM then it's adequate.

[worn wind]

Any solution for this?

[noble sparrow]

how far i came

[gaunt grail]

what unity version do you guys recommend for windows 7?

[pseudo harbor]

...Why are you on Windows 7? And I guess it depends on what kind of hardware you're running. If it's powerful enough, the latest one that has Windows 7 support

[sly lake]

Whichever the latest version is that supports it.

Depends on the bitness as well

[gaunt grail]

its a intel core 2 quad with 8gb of ddr3 ram

64x

[gaunt grail]

I am not its just a lan pc

windows 10 lags

[worldly cave]

Do you need help with something?

[flat breach]

I do if you want lol

[worldly cave]

the alert system you mentioned earlier?

[flat breach]

no , for making a jumpscare, for the alert I'll figure out alone tonight

[worldly cave]

well if you want help you need to actually ask the question lol

[flat breach]

I want to make a jumpscare for an enemy character, and I'd like to play it when it enters the state Attack which will be played once only, but I'm not sure how to do this, I've watched a lot of tutorials and most of them cover simple jumpscare triggered by some trigger zones, really simple jumpscare types, I'm thinking about using timeline, having my character with a run initial animation or crawling, then a parent empty gameobject which I'd animate in timeline, just making it run or crawl forward a few meters and then having another parent on top which I'd set the position with a script to be relative to the player's camera so it will always be the same and also disable player's movement during it, do you think my idea is good? and if not, how should I do it?

[worldly cave]

I mean, i dont know lol, theres probably a million ways to approach something like this, if you already have a basic idea in your mind youre better off testing that out first and seeing if it works

[flat breach]

yea... you're right

[crude robin]

16gb ddr4

[noble sparrow]

nah just something wanted to show, but not here?

[dusky forum]

Probably better to show it in #1180170818983051344 , the forums, other Unofficial Unity Discord servers, game Dev servers or social media platforms.

[worldly cave]

this is a help channel

[storm patio]

could also post in #🏆┃daily-win if you don't want to open a whole devlog

[dusky forum]

They've already got one though
#1225882878831759430 message

[storm patio]

wasn't aware 👍

[flat breach]

sorry to disturb you again, but do you think you'd be able to help me regarding the sound detection thing too?

[storm patio]

https://dontasktoask.com

don't ask specific people for help, just ask to the channel in general

that's the point of a community server

[flat breach]

he already knows the question

[south lion]

Hello! could anyone pls tell me if this number of poligons and faces is good for unity. I dont wanna make very heavy stuff so it doesnt handle or smt like that...

[flat breach]

but okay I'll ask immediately next time

[vivid cedar]

really depends on your target hardware and how many of these (and other) things will be visible.

feels kinda high if you're targeting e.g. mobile platforms

[craggy pollen]

it depends, if you have hundreds of these objects the gpu might have some problems

[south lion]

what if they are in different scenes?

[south lion]

oh dw its for pc

[worldly cave]

if i understood what you asked, i would personally use some kind of singleton sound manager, so you can have your state machine pull the information from the sound manager

[craggy pollen]

it counts what the camera renders, if the obbjects are not rendered then of course no problem

[worldly cave]

what does the wireframe look like?

[south lion]

oh then its mostly fine yea

[storm patio]

we don't

[flat breach]

okay👍 , maybe I should add a bool and setting it to true and then back to false after some seconds, so while its true, I can set a destination using Navmesh

[young niche]

Hey guys Im trying to make my game into an installer using inno setup, do I need to slect all of these files too or just the _Data folder? The video I'm watching is old and it has only 2 files, the game and _Data

[copper pelican]

Hey folks, where would i go to put together a team of blender artists?
