[young niche]

do you know answer to my question too?

[copper pelican]

Thank you!

[craggy pollen]

i would probably say something if i knew

what is the reaosn you are not going the recommended way and simply let unity built for you

[young niche]

no, it is already built

but then its an .exe file

im trying to put in into a compressed installer

so the file before is smaller

I'm just following a guide tbh

[vivid cedar]

this is a question for whatever "inno setup" is

[young niche]

just some programm which turns .exe into an installer

idk Im following a tutorial from youtube

[vivid cedar]

I would check the documentation/instructions for that program

[chrome scaffold]

But also, folder named "DoNotShip" you'd think would speak for itself. The rest of the files and folders you probably want to include.

[flat breach]

https://paste.ofcode.org/hthZrKG6eS9JWQYtJ4dERJ do you think this script for a faked sound detection system would work? I'll just call the EmitSound(); whenever I want something to emit a sound and I'll reference the emitting gameobject's position, in my statemachinebehaviour, I'll check if soundEmitted == true in the update and if it's I'll switch the state to alert and set the position to the posToAlert?

[potent geyser]

Why think? Just try it?

[light thorn]

Harsh

[eternal sphinx]

can someone help me with my avatar im editing on unity

[light thorn]

But true, for everything in life u can just try it

But some tries can be the last ones

[worldly cave]

huh?

what kind of logic is this lmao

[worldly cave]

avatar?

[eternal sphinx]

yeah a pennywise avi for vrc and thought yall might help

[worldly cave]

we cant

this is a unity help discord****

not for games made in unity

go to the vrc discord

Or if u wanna test gravity mechanics irl, depending on where or how u do it, it can also be ur last try

yeah except in your fictional scenario the stakes are much higher than they are here

Hi everyone

[glad crow]

Hello, I'm new to c# coding and i barely know how to use it Do you guys know how do i learn it efficiently?

i learned how to use the unity's interface already,it was pretty easy to get used to

[craggy pollen]

check the channel pinned messages

[glad crow]

sure

i see the user manual

[balmy kettle]

read past the first link in that message

[glad crow]

okay

oh right,the unity's learning projects,i only finished 2 of them and it went pretty smooth

there are lots of them

[spare bobcat]

yo which channel do i use to ask about shaders in this discord

[storm patio]

#1390346776804069396

[storm patio]

there are some pinned resources in #💻┃code-beginner

[spare bobcat]

do you know some stuff about shaders i could ask you quickly about ?

[storm patio]

no

go ask the people that know in #1390346776804069396

[glad crow]

thanks for the info guys

[rancid whale]

git-amend YouTube channel tends to be pretty advanced
Jason Weimann has some good stuff too, TheKiwiCoder.
“Collide & Slide actually decent physics” video cool too

[glad crow]

thanks,will check them out

my main goal is just to actually make my own logic for the game because doing a step by step tutorial on how to do for example movement isn't gonna teach me anything

[vast sedge]

hi there , i'm looking for tri planar node or technics for procedural shade like sdf pattern ...

[umbral bane]

HEY SUP IM NEW

[gray frigate]

The shader graph comes with a triplanar node that can handle both color and normals

(although, it can only do triplanar sampling of a texture; you can't plug in some arbitrary function)

[vast sedge]

yes i know ... but founded my solution

i hope btw ! 😄

i think i just need to split it out ! ♪♪ ヽ(ˇ∀ˇ )ゞ

[gray frigate]

i have no idea what's being shown here :p

[glad crow]

[flat breach]

hi, I'm really stuck on making an attack animation or timeline for a character, I'd just like the rigged character to use a certain animation such as running and then make it move using an animation towards the player, I know how to make this at a certain position in my game, but in this case I want it to be played all the time the character enters the attack state which means this will be played at multiple positions,rotations, he should also be facing the player all the time.

[young niche]

Is it possible to remove this version from showing up? so I only have the newer one

[sudden ruin]

delete it

[young niche]

how/

[potent geyser]

You can uninstall any version from Unity Hub

[sudden ruin]

in the installs section

[glad crow]

kaputt

[young niche]

oh thanks

[gaunt grail]

Can i somehow get unity hub 2.4.5

[exotic relic]

Yes, but what do you want that one for?

[gaunt grail]

Windows 7

nvm got it

[still aurora]

hello sorry, unity launched into safe mode annoyingly and it wasnt even anything that was breaking it was just scripts from an asset i was trying to uninstall so i was just trying to cancel out but i let it import everything again which took a while, i loaded into my project and now everything is purple and im starting to get really worried because this took me awhile to create, how do i fix this?

[fleet canopy]

close it and reopen it

if you have version control/backups nothing bad will happen because you can undo anything that goes wrong

[fleet canopy]

windows 7 is already a bad practise for general security but unity doesn't even support windows 7 and hasnt in a long while

[still aurora]

im not sure about version control but i do have .scenes saved if that will work? this never really happened ever so i didn't think too much of it but i did have packages exported and scenes saved just yesterday

[plain dagger]

You will want to correct the compile errors to correct the problem.
having some assets backed up helps but its not great

using source control like git, unity vc means full backups with history

also means very easy to revert changes and go back in time

[fleet canopy]

.scenes will save just your scenes but that wont help with anything else like scripts, models, etc..

materials

[gaunt grail]

its not connected to the internet

[plain dagger]

just get the old unity version installers as those are on the download archive page

[gaunt grail]

yeah i did but it wants a license

[fleet canopy]

use a personal license?

[plain dagger]

there should be a way to get a license online from unity for older versions still 🤔
anyway win 7 old and unsupported

[fleet canopy]

you cant use unity 6 with windows 7 but i doubt they want to

[gaunt grail]

you cant activate those anymore manualy

[fleet canopy]

if it's not connected to the internet how are you using the hub to install it

[still aurora]

im hoping it'll come back considering i dont need the asset as much wanted, ill delete it from the project and hope from the best but im not sure what im going to do if everything is messed up like this

[gaunt grail]

i got hub installed and editor installed separately using old installers

[still aurora]

if i can get all of this fixed ill definitely look into version control now i just never expected something this damaging to happen

[fleet canopy]

okay and how will the hub activate it? it needs to connect to the internet at least every 30 days unless this is some new thing

[gaunt grail]

what does it connect for? why every 30 days

didnt know about that

[plain dagger]

It may be that the asset is using shaders that are incompatible with the current render pipeline you have active in project
e.g "Standard" does not work with URP + HDRP

tis a very common issue

[still aurora]

i deleted it, im hoping that'll fix the issue or use the proper shaders then if that was the right move, it's currently stuck on compiling scripts running backend, not sure if it is loading scripts or if i completely messed it up this time

[barren nacelle]

Can someone help been struggling with this for 3days now

tried switching the shader to urp>lit but now its just that

Havent been able to use assets cuz of this any for of will be appreciated

[plain dagger]

expand the mesh renderers to check if they actually have materials assigned
If the old materials use "Standard" you can use the auto upgrader to change them to urp lit

[barren nacelle]

Tried that, the original shader was standard so i switched to urp>lit but thats how i got the white balls in the first image

the second image is the shader in standard

[plain dagger]

If you just swap shader it looses the data. the upgrader will try to copy over the material data

how to: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@16.0/manual/upgrading-your-shaders.html

converter: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@16.0/manual/features/rp-converter.html

[copper gust]

Is that true? I thought it tried to retain matching shader properties in general

[plain dagger]

it may but it just doesnt happen when changing standard to urp lit hence the converter existing 😐

I dont make the rules

[copper gust]

I assumed maybe the shader names we’re different between those two but yeah

[barren nacelle]

Thanks it worked. but now i think the objects lost their colors

[fleet canopy]

license

[plain dagger]

must mean they never had any diffuse/colour data set in the old materials 🤷‍♂️

[late viper]

What the actual hell do i do about this

[plain dagger]

you can check the old and new versions

[plain dagger]

press "Diagnose" and pray it fixes it

[fleet canopy]

(this was for above sorry)

[late viper]

I try and nothing happens beo

Something pops up then disappeareds

[gaunt grail]

does the old hub have that?

[fleet canopy]

maybe

[late viper]

Someone please

I rested my PC and it still doesn't work

Someone help me with this please dm me on what to do

[copper gust]

If people knew they would tell you here

[plain dagger]

i fuckin replied earlier 😐

[stuck flower]

https://screenshot.help/

[late viper]

Well it didn't help

Ngl

[strange moon]

I have same issuee

[worldly cave]

Yes

[late viper]

You fix it?

[plain dagger]

"ill just post the same shit phone pic then"

[late viper]

Just saying

[strange moon]

No, diagnose did not fix it

[late viper]

I know bro

[fleet canopy]

can you take a proper screenshot

And nobody's gonna dm you

that's not allowed

[strange moon]

Here you go

[fleet canopy]

you probably just have to reinstall unity editor btw

[stuck flower]

Missing files could be the result of an antirvirus action, or a corrupt unity installation

[late viper]

Let me do that

[fleet canopy]

antivirus... the greatest malware known to man

[copper gust]

Google says mac and low file size can cause it too

[fleet canopy]

that's clearly not a mac

and what do you mean low file size?

no storage?

[late viper]

Already looked

Not anti

[strange moon]

No storage could be it. I will ask him to check that

[late viper]

It's not storage for me either

[strange moon]

Reinstall windows

[fleet canopy]

that's a bit overkill i think

wait for them to reinstall unity

[late viper]

Btw didn't work

Same dumbass message

[worldly cave]

You reinstalled the editor in 3 minutes?

[copper gust]

Go fix it yourself then 😭

[late viper]

Yeah my PC good

[stuck flower]

Yeah, no you didn't

[worldly cave]

We are talking about the editor here

Not the hub

[stuck flower]

Actually reinstall it and then see

[strange moon]

Bro hacked and uses NASA servers

[late viper]

Btw it doesn't let me delete too

[worldly cave]

[copper gust]

If you can’t delete it how did you reinstall it babygirl

[worldly cave]

He didnt

[late viper]

I did the hub

Not the editor

[worldly cave]

Thats not what we said

[strange moon]

I had my colleague reinstall unity and he still had same problem

[worldly cave]

Editor

[stuck flower]

Why

[late viper]

Lowkey idk

[fleet canopy]

yea thats what i said

[fleet canopy]

uninstall and reinstall the editor

[worldly cave]

I was clarifying it for the guy

Because he decided to reinstall the hub

[fleet canopy]

if you cant findit here

example

[late viper]

I try that

It just doesn't work

[strange moon]

Reinstall windows is next

[late viper]

I did that

[stuck flower]

[late viper]

That's why i came here to ask after i did that

[strange moon]

hack nasa server next

[worldly cave]

Ok so you did everything

And youre positive its not your av?

[fleet canopy]

bro reinstalled windows in 5 minutes

[copper gust]

Perhaps get into gardening

[worldly cave]

I guess your shit out of luck then

Maybe it was not meant to be

[fleet canopy]

have you considered actually following our advice and like actually doing the things

[strange moon]

Which windows you got @wild radish

[worldly cave]

But duh its way faster to lie

[fleet canopy]

truee trueee

[fleet canopy]

you pinged the wrong person

and from their image that's windows 11

[late viper]

I did it yesterday not today

[strange moon]

Olay you guys dont need to act strange with him as well. I believe he did all that before reinstalling and so on

[late viper]

Not to mention i can't delete shit

[worldly cave]

It would be easier if you told us everything you did

[late viper]

It doesn't let me delete it

[fleet canopy]

do you have administrator access?

try running the hub as admin

[late viper]

I tried that bro

[copper gust]

Figure that out, that’s no longer a unity problem

[fleet canopy]

you havent told us what you tried

[strange moon]

Its often interesting to see what people suggest instead of writing many lines about what you already did which forces you into box thinking

[copper gust]

Nah this message is dumb as hell respectfully

Just a waste of everyones time

[fleet canopy]

what does this mean?

[late viper]

Uninstalled reset my PC deleted editor when it lets me

[stuck flower]

Please never ask other human beings for help ever again.

[fleet canopy]

what does it say when you tryuninstall the editor?

[late viper]

Nothing. It just stays their

[late viper]

It refused

[fleet canopy]

try restarting your computer after you press the uninstall button

[late viper]

At this point

[strange moon]

Then you didnt uninstall it man

You failed at uninstalling it

[fleet canopy]

it tells you where the files are, delete it manually

[late viper]

Ok

Restarting

[copper gust]

Then you need to figure that out in a server that isn’t here, that’s not a unity problem

[fleet canopy]

@strange moon you're not helping anybody can you like not comment

[late viper]

It still doesn't delete how do you do it manually

[fleet canopy]

it shows you the file path

navigate there

move the files to the recycle bin

including the folder with the files in them

[late viper]

Like select all then delete?

[fleet canopy]

yes

[late viper]

Got it

Done

And still their

Doesn't delete

[strange moon]

Might be antivirus issue?

[late viper]

Nope checked it

[barren nacelle]

Bro it worked, I had to manually assign the texture for each base map so it took a while but its all good now

[copper gust]

Then your not experienced enough with computers to currently use Unity, or have been lying

[late viper]

Your not helping bro

@fleet canopy it deleted thanks

[copper gust]

No one can help you if you reinstalled windows yesterday and do not have privileges to delete files

[fleet canopy]

alright now reinstall it

[late viper]

Ok

I will ping you later when it's done

Might take a bit

[strange moon]

You can ping me, not sure about others

[fleet canopy]

sure

but remember not to single out some one person for help

this is a community server

[late viper]

I am thinking about and the other editor i had installed said the same thing

It might just be something with unity

[fleet canopy]

unlikely

do you have any antivirus installed?

[late viper]

No

[fleet canopy]

are you sure?

[late viper]

Yeah just got my pc

[fleet canopy]

alright

[late viper]

For Christmas

[fleet canopy]

nice but not really sure

just see what happens when this one installs

[late viper]

I checked history and nothing was their

Ok

Lowkey my PC pretty mid so might take a few hours but not likely

[fleet canopy]

ok

[storm sierra]

Is there a unity discord area for indie devs

[strange moon]

Is roblox based on unity?

[fleet canopy]

#1180170818983051344 if you want to post stuff

[fleet canopy]

no it's a custom engine (it's also older than unity)

-# makes sense you're a roblox kid considering your attitude

[storm sierra]

I am mostly referring to issues with working with steam or other things

I was hoping to learn from their experiences

[fleet canopy]

the mods here recommend the game dev network

discord server

[tidal osprey]

Hello, how are y'all doing tonight?
I have a small little question, but I am not fully sure how to ask it.
Basically, I am having some hard times understanding coding for Unity (I am a noob, never really coded nothing in my life before, but I am very inspired to make my 2.5D game idea become true [3D world, 2D characters])
My problem as of now, is understanding what my C# script should look like? I already have downloaded the Unity assets of 2D sprites, and the other one about better Character control, but my script should be MonoBehavior? Do I need to type something on the lines of "Void Update, Rigidbody, KeyCode.A = rb.Vector2.left"? And I think that that is all my questions as for now since I hope the billboard camera rotation already works lol.

[sage basin]

You should go through some of the beginner programming resources pinned to #💻┃code-beginner

[tidal osprey]

Ah nice. Thank you so much.

[frosty bay]

anyone can help me with some animation stuff ?

[fleet canopy]

what's your question?

also

[quasi urchin]

No, probably the other way around.

Btw, Roblox uses Lua, while Unity uses C#.

[fleet canopy]

#🏃┃animation might have people better suited for the question

[frosty bay]

maybe i can screenshare sins i dont know how to explane this 😄

[stuck flower]

There's no voice channels here

[fleet canopy]

it's neither way around, both are seperate game engines made by seperate people

[stuck flower]

You'll need to actually put effort into your question

[fleet canopy]

screenshots sure + a question

@frosty bay please dont randomly send ppl friend reqs

[quasi urchin]

Yea, IK they're seperate engines made by seperate people.

But, I thought Roblox was prob based on Unity, considering how similar the design of the two apps look.

[fading iron]

What is the best software to use for higher res sprites and animation but have built in tools like curves and lines? It can be paid, thats fine. Using piskel right now, and need an upgrade

[fleet canopy]

roblox is odler than unity actually!
this is not unity talk anynmore tho so probably not continue

[frosty bay]

i dont know how i will show this in a screenshot

[fleet canopy]

screen recordings?

ask a qquestion dude

what's your problem? what do you see? what do you want to see?

[frosty bay]

yea let me screenrecorde

[quasi urchin]

Ok?

[quasi urchin]

Blender.

[fading iron]

Okay, cool. I know blender 3d but not 2d

[frosty bay]

so i want the arm models of the character to do the same as the floating arms and i want the carmea to also follow the other character

[quasi urchin]

You can learn to use Blender in 2D.

[fading iron]

Will do. Thanks

[quasi urchin]

Other good software would be Krita and Adobe Animate.

[fading iron]

For spritesheets and anim?

[quasi urchin]

Yes.

[fading iron]

👌

[gusty abyss]

Is using both input systems a good idea in the long term?

[copper gust]

Not really

You can do anything in the old one in the new one

[gusty abyss]

I’m just wondering because the unity beginner coding pattern is telling me to switch to both instead of just giving me the new input system which is kind of

Bad? I mean they’re worth millions. Can’t they make a few edits

[copper gust]

If your starting out do whatever gets you doing stuff faster

Not a long term decision

[copper gust]

Oh yeah it’s absolutely pathetic that the official guides still don’t reflect the new default standards

[gusty abyss]

I knew I wasn’t crazy. Still better than just trying to follow guides on YouTube I just feel like I’m doing something wrong by learning it

Maybe I’ll ask chat gpt to change the codes they give me to the new input system

[copper gust]

Your probably always gonna be doing something wrong. It’s insanely conmon for beginners to overthink on how best they are/can independently learn, it’s a hard habit to break

[rancid helm]

Hi! so i have a really big issue with the engine, i lost my save randomly after build, but it comes back randomly, and after that, the new game scene is coming back, and i dont really know what is happening, i even restarted the whole engine

[copper gust]

Just following guides as best you can, spending time and effort trying to understand what your doing and googling terms and concepts you don’t recognise is how you’ll get comfortable

Best way to learn programming in my opinion is less about actually learning programming and more about learning how to learn, which is about identifying what you want to do, breaking that down into as minimal pieces as possible, figuring out which pieces you don’t understand and then researching those specific things online

[gusty abyss]

Yeah I might need to start doing sticky notes or something tho because yesterday I tried learning something and couldn’t remember it like 10 minutes later. Ik I might learn a bit slower but it’s also about getting practice right? Sorry I really should just give it my all stop questioning it but I’m just afraid I’m not smart enough to learn it.

[copper gust]

Practice is a massive thing yeah

is that a question or sarcasm?

[storm patio]

hi, this is not a social space. https://nohello.net

[foggy mantle]

Hi sorry my english is bad, can someone please dumb it down for me? like how much unity has to take if i make money out of their game engine?

like unreal will take 5% if i make 1 mil

what about unity? i cant seem to understand when i read their site

[pearl oyster]

$200 / month if you make more than $200k per year

[foggy mantle]

oh... that's not bad actually.

[river gale]

I just made my very first build of a game

[solar panther]

Hey, guys is there could be an update of Unity Hub for 2026?

Kinda, curious btw.

[storm patio]

if unity doesn't go under, yes

[gray dirge]

What kind of update are we talking about and why? All of the updates to the Hub itself usually don't bring much to be exited about for me at least

[potent geyser]

Templates

[worldly cave]

That if doing a lot of heavy work

[eternal sphinx]

im making a map for my game does anybody have a town with storm drains similar to the one where pennywise meets georgie

[potent geyser]

Nobody is just going to "have a town". You can search the Unity Asset store for something.

[snow geyser]

how the fuck do I download an assets I bought on the store?

[potent geyser]

Open the package manager in Unity

[snow geyser]

I have no idea what that is. i thas some dumb button "open in unity" that all it does is spawn JS errors

[deft rock]

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+i+download+unity+assets&oq=how+do+i+download+unity+assets

[mild radish]

go into the package manager manually and download/install it 👀

[snow geyser]

can I do that in thus hub thing?

[potent geyser]

No, you do it in Unity editor

[mild radish]

from the engine itself..

[snow geyser]

is there a way to download it without that stuff?

like wheres the download button

[mild radish]

once u confirm/purchase it in the asset store it'll appear in the PackageManager

[potent geyser]

No, it's meant to be used in Unity, so it's downloaded in Unity.

The download button is in the package manager.

[snow geyser]

taht's dumb af thanks tho I dont use unity yo I need to download all that crap just to download the assets? thanks for the info.

[potent geyser]

Yes

[snow geyser]

whata consumer hating software

[potent geyser]

Your tantrum about it doesn't make it a true statement.

[mild radish]

they are Unity assets..

so yes.. you do it via Unity

[snow geyser]

they are assets

[mild radish]

🤦‍♂️ lol

[deft rock]

they're unity assets, and I'm half sure the EULA says they're not for use in any other engine

[snow geyser]

nope

at leaast not when I checked it

[deft rock]

yeah, that's wrong.. dunno what I'm thinking about instead

[snow geyser]

I've heard it before, maybe there are different licenses?

anyway I didnt find any such statement when I checked

[deft rock]

The general license allows it, each asset can have a different one which could specify there

[snow geyser]

where can I see the progress of this?

[potent geyser]

At the top of the Hub there's a download button

[snow geyser]

Unity Asset Store purchases can only be downloaded via the Unity Editor. However, once you've downloaded and imported your asset, you can use the raw files outside of Unity, although we can't guarantee compatibility.

[snow geyser]

no I mean I wanna see some progress so I know if it takes 1min or 10h or whatever ^^

ah I see what you mean

thanks

[warped rivet]

Unity is going to make me lose it

I'm working on something in unity for a class and I've spent the last 2 times I had the class trying to connect it to unity version control and it won't work

😭

[glad crow]

guys my skybox isn't working ,why i don't see the clear flags on my main camera?

oh nevermind,i just added a large sprite instead of the skybox,for some reason it just didn't work

[ocean pumice]

If you are not working with large assets, you could use github to be able to work.

[near wigeon]

Because UVC sucks and is full of issues. Use GIT

[ocean pumice]

Has its pros and cons 😄

[woeful vector]

Hey guys, need help please. I'm looking to use Playworks to create some ads. On the website the price shows $15K. What if I only want to export for 2 platforms like Google Ads and Meta?

[ocean pumice]

There is a free tier https://docs.lunalabs.io/docs/playable/pricing

[woeful vector]

Thanks for the quick reply. It shows that its free for Iron source and Unity ads. Is there a free tier for Google ads?

[simple eagle]

Can someone help me figure out whats going on? I'm working through the beginning of the Junior Programmer pathway and I'm running into an issue where I enter Play mode and then when I exit play mode, the project window is randomly selecting a file to inspect inside of the Packages folder. It's not breaking anything, its just annoying.

[shadow heron]

I am trying to rotate the player with the camera and it works but when I move my mouse just a little bit it spins really fast. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Is it because the tracking target is in the player and because of the script its rotating the player and it just loops?

[balmy kettle]

if your camera is set to follow the player's rotation and you rotate the player based on the camera's rotation, then yes it's just going to spin fast when either are supposed to rotate

you should rotate the player using your mouse input, and have the camera track the player

[austere narwhal]

anyone in here have an QCY H3 Pro?

[storm patio]

do you have an actual unity question related to that

[safe garden]

hi guys, is there a way to replace an already existing prefab with another newly one you created, just so it updates in all instances?

[storm patio]

edit the prefab you already have

could like, copy everything from the new one and paste it into the old one or something, probably

[safe garden]

will try ty

[potent geyser]

If you right click the object in your hierarchy, you can link it to a prefab under the prefab flyout.

If it's already a prefab, at the top o fht e inspector, you can drag another reference in I think? I forget where that is.

[flat breach]

hi, do you guys think disabling some scripts or gameobject that I don't need anymore would be a good thing during gameplay to do for performances or I shouldn't care about this with my game scale(around 80 scripts, don't know how many of them run in update thouugh)?

[near wigeon]

wouldn't hurt

[craggy pollen]

you can answer that on your own

[flat breach]

by?

[craggy pollen]

is running 100 processes the same as running 5 processes on your computer

[near wigeon]

thats also relevant if they are running operations Update otherwise they are still loaded in memory anyway

[flat breach]

no

[near wigeon]

disabling only gets rid of Update/Physics update calls

[flat breach]

ye

is memory like loading everything the game consists of/has?

[storm patio]

less work is less work, for the cpu.

disable stuff if it makes sense. worry about perf if it's an issue

[modest meteor]

it's best to disable any update methods when you dont need them

[near wigeon]

pretty much everything you create lives there in memory

[flat breach]

oh okay didn't know that, thank you

[near wigeon]

and you should profile (unity profiler, frame debugger, etc.) more important to see where You actually need improvement

[flat breach]

I'm already lagging most of the time on my computer with a rtx4070, ryzen7 and 16go ram, arduino is really limited lool

[near wigeon]

most times its the graphics and heavy gpu stuff than code

lighting, post processing etc

[flat breach]

ohh okay ye, thank you so much for helping ❤️

[near wigeon]

if you got a mesh with thousands of tris, you probably wanna look into cleaning up

[storm patio]

making something go from 2ns to 1ns per frame isn't going to make the other 40ms task faster

[near wigeon]

are you even using the AI Navigation package ?

[shadow heron]

is this how I rotate the player in my mouse input? I don't want to control the sensitivity how would I just rotate the player with my mouse input? cause right now when I rotate I have to adjust the value which will rotate the player and increase the sensitivity. I can't make it rotate with the camera cause I would have to then change the reference frame in cinemachine settings and the headbob rotating effect will no longer work.

[warped rivet]

The UVC thing is connected to a github repository

But I can't directly use GitHub because my school has it blocked

[warped rivet]

Idk how to use GIT

[storm patio]

github hosts.. git repos, not uvc repos

or do you have the entire uvc repo inside a git repo

[ocean pumice]

Lets hope not… uvc is its own repo system based on git I think.

[near wigeon]

its dead simple. Plenty of online instructions, many GUI clients as well

[near wigeon]

uvc is based on plastic some other technology

[ocean pumice]

Ah, Plastic scm supports the git network protocol, its not based on it

[near wigeon]

it has some interoperability afaik, but also with preforce

[ocean pumice]

And uvc = plastic, just renamed

[near wigeon]

pretty much

[warped rivet]

I haven't made any commits yet because when I try and do the login to UVC thing in the editor it gives me the error

My friend knows how to use GIT so I'll just ask him tommorow probably

[ocean pumice]

If your university is blocking git and your uvc uses a git repo to push, thats why it might not work

[near wigeon]

schools block version control these days? odd..

[warped rivet]

Unity isn't blocked

GitHub's site is blocked

Also it's not a university it's an elective at my HS

I can get around the schools proxy but my internet is really spotty in that classroom and I don't want to use too much data while updating the repository

[near wigeon]

Github isn't the only host for GIT repos

the two are different things

[warped rivet]

Ok but you were talking about GIT in general when I had said that GitHub was blocked

My friend knows how to get it work with GIT

[storm patio]

ok, so why not use git (without using github)

[warped rivet]

I'll ask him tommorow I can't do anything about it rn anyway cus I'm not in that class

[warped rivet]

I already said I was going to

Anyways I gtg to clas

[storm patio]

oh, mb

the major competitors i know of are gitlab and bitbucket, try checking if those are also blocked

[shadow heron]

I removed that part but now when I look left or right it spins really fast.

[warped rivet]

My friend knows one that works I just don't remember

I'm just going to ask him to help me with it tommorow in class

[elder prairie]

could somebody perhaps help me, I'm kind of giving up hope here
my enemy's shooting animation isn't playing and the animation itsself isn't either, it was working fine before I tried putting an animation on him

[near wigeon]

so turn down the sensitivity

[gray frigate]

you were previously multiplying your look input by a tiny number

e.g. 0.01 at 100 FPS

[shadow heron]

I did but the headbob rotation no longer works

[gray frigate]

so you need to compensate for that

[near wigeon]

we need more context here, and show setup

[fleet fiber]

Hola

[shadow heron]

If I keep it at 0.1 it works but if I bring it lower the headbob effect rotation is no longer relative in the direction I am looking.

[near wigeon]

probably bad code somewhere then

[gray frigate]

are you mixing the head-bob effect into the player's actual input?

lemme look at your code

[shadow heron]

well the only code that is rotating the player is this > https://paste.ofcode.org/NriXw8ib3RLz2ZLCfyiZZB

[gray frigate]

nothing in here would cause head-bobbing

[shadow heron]

this is the headbob script: https://paste.ofcode.org/vUcM2yHsaBLgZdVfKeASyr

[gray frigate]

are you trying to rotate the cinemachine camera's object yourself?

[shadow heron]

No I'm not rotating the cinemachine tracking target in the code, the only thing thats rotating is the gameobject called headbob and the tracking target is a child of that and follows the rotation.

[balmy kettle]

any particular reason you are implementing headbob manually instead of using noise on the vcam?

[gray frigate]

(you can also use a Recomposer extension to adjust the final rotation)

i'm doing that right now, actually

[elder prairie]

using UnityEngine;

public class RobotShooter : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform HandSpawn;
    public GameObject ProjectileLightBall;
    public float shootCooldown = 2f;
    public float shootRange = 10f;

    private Transform player;
    private float timer;
    private EnemyHealth enemyHealth;
    private Animator animator;

    void Start()
    {
        GameObject p = GameObject.Find("Player");
        if (p != null)
            player = p.transform;
        else
            Debug.LogError("Player not found!");

        enemyHealth = GetComponent<EnemyHealth>();
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (enemyHealth != null && enemyHealth.IsDead)
            return;

        if (player == null) return;

        timer += Time.deltaTime;

        if (timer >= shootCooldown)
        {
            float distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.position);

            if (distance <= shootRange)
            {
                Debug.Log("Trigger Shoot");
                animator.SetTrigger("Shoot");
                timer = 0f;
            }
        }
    }

    public void FireProjectile()
    {
        Vector3 targetPos = player.position + Vector3.up * 1.5f;
        Vector3 dir = (targetPos - HandSpawn.position).normalized;

        Instantiate(
            ProjectileLightBall,
            HandSpawn.position,
            Quaternion.LookRotation(dir)
        );
    }
}

this is my code, it should work

the shoot animation has an event on it (fireProjectile function)
the animator is set up like this

Entry -> EnemyIdle <=> Shoot
Shoot has the Shoot Parameter condition on it (a trigger)
I'm not sure if I'm missing anything or what's going on

[shadow heron]

Just didn't like it and I was using multiple noise profiles and I couldn't get them to smoothly transition together so I am doing it by code and its more fun ig..

[near wigeon]

is the log TriggerShoot printing in console ?

[elder prairie]

yes

[near wigeon]

select the Animator on the gameobject in question, while in playmode with Animato tab open / docked aside you should see what the transition / params are doing Live

[elder prairie]

oh bruh

I'm seriously

gonna

kms

atp

[near wigeon]

dont spam msgs plz

[shadow heron]

How would I do that with the extension?

[elder prairie]

seems like I accidentally disabled the Animator inside of the enemy object 💀

ty for the help tho

still gonna kms tho

[gray frigate]

reference the CinemachineRecomposer component and then set its Tilt/Pan/Dutch values

[boreal thicket]

[shadow heron]

How is that going to stop this → #💻┃unity-talk message issue? Isn't that meant for the timeline?

[boreal thicket]

Yall when i gave my friend edit it didnt work?

[gray frigate]

oh, I see why your existing code doesn't work right

[near wigeon]

what edit

[boreal thicket]

I gave him the project

I put in his email n stuff but he cant go in it

[gray frigate]

actually, no, that should be working

I suggested the recomposer because you don't have to mess with the rotation of your look target at all – you just tell the camera to rotate

[stuck flower]

"Go in" what? What did you give them? Where did you put in email?

[silent mica]

currently when switching away from unity with alt-tab the focus will automatically be forced back to unity, is there any fix for it?

clicking away works just fine

[gray frigate]

I'm just suspicious of adjusting the local rotation of the look target like this. The changes will add up over time, and they might start drifting away.

[boreal thicket]

I clicked the three dots,then i clicked on the thing that helps with partners to go on the project,i gave him the ranks bit it didnt work

[gray frigate]

you're going to have to show us exactly what you did

I'm guessing that you don't have version control set up for your project

and that you've just added your friend to an organization

[boreal thicket]

Oh thats what i clicked

The version control

[balmy kettle]

you need to be specific about the steps you took, because we have no idea if you've done anything correctly if you're incredibly vague about what you did

[echo rune]

Hi. Not sure where to report this but i think this page has missing images or parts
https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/custom-lighting-in-shader-graph-expanding-your-graphs-in-2019
Is it possible for it to be fixed?

[balmy kettle]

that article is 5 and a half years old, many more things have changed in shader graph since then

consider looking at recent documentation for shader graph if you want to learn how to use recent versions

[shadow heron]

Holy shit I think you gave me an idea, I can change the reference frame to parent object to stop the spinning issue but the headbob rotation going up and down will no longer work but I could use the tilt in the composer but would that be a pain in the ass to setup? I would have to apply it to all the headbobs later on.

[echo rune]

Ya but doesn't mean the content should be half broken

[balmy kettle]

that is specifically about what has changed at that point in time, not what has changed since then. so if you are using a more modern version of shader graph, then naturally that article is out of date and you need to find recent documentation

[shadow heron]

Never mind that might be a bad idea when I think about it.

[gray frigate]

what's missing right now?

[gray frigate]

I'm not clear on how your character works right now, so it's hard to say much.

I know that you have:

• a character object, that rotates around the world Y axis
• a look target, which rotates around the local X axis to do headbob

[balmy kettle]

it's also not a comprehensive tutorial for shader graph. it's literally what has changed in that version

[echo rune]

This article is not entirely out of date. GetMainLight is still valid even in 6.3

[echo rune]

I said "i think" it has broken parts. There are several parts where it says "something something like this:" and then blank then skips to the next part

[gray frigate]

ah, I see

[echo rune]

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be image (bcoz other images in the article works). It may be a code snippets

[gray frigate]

seems like all of the code snippets are missing

[echo rune]

Anyways i'm more asking about where/who to report about this, and also posting here in case anyone have a backup article or something

Or... i guess i can also find a different "beginner to custom lighting" tut

[gray frigate]

The github repo is still available, so you can check that out

ha, this was back when they called it the LWRP

I'd suggest checking out this page, actually

[balmy kettle]

considering you are using a version of urp/shader graph that is very different from the 2019 version that is something you should absolutely do

[gray frigate]

I was just asking about how to access lights in the URP

#1391720450752516147 message

[echo rune]

I'm looking into this article bcoz this is what's referenced by another newer (but still pretty old) more advanced tutorial

[stray rain]

Hello, could someone help me? The button doesn't appear when I'm testing the game. What should I do?

[balmy kettle]

start by being more specific about what it is you need help with

[stray rain]

I'm creating a game, but there's one problem: when I launch it, the exit button disappears and you can't even press it, but on the stage it's there, the text and the button

[tawdry stag]

hi everyone

why when i rotate this half a circle, it says im rotating it 35,000 degrees?

[stray rain]

@balmy kettle

[balmy kettle]

if you look really close at the bottom left of the game view you'll see your button kind of appears because that's how you have it positioned on the canvas.

[flat breach]

hello, why isn't Random getting detected there(missing) https://paste.ofcode.org/fF7ThbGZYgupADB8wJ29y9 , I'm using UnityEngine and also Mathematics

[balmy kettle]

enable gizmos for the scene, then select your canvas and you'll see its outline. that represents the entire screen and you need to position/scale/anchor your UI correctly within that. see the docs pinned in #📲┃ui-ux for how the canvas works

[storm patio]

code pastes are not the same as your ide

are you having an issue in your ide?

[flat breach]

no I don't think I do, I'm using VS code since a year with unity and everything was setup properly

[stuck flower]

What is Random

[storm patio]

ok, what do you mean by "Random isn't getting detected" then?

[stuck flower]

also you are missing a semicolon

[flat breach]

Radom.Range();

[storm patio]

intellisense isn't showing up?

[stuck flower]

So, you should probably include that in your code instead of just cutting off the line early

[flat breach]

no I haven't called the function yet lol I'm not a complete beginner chill

[storm patio]

what is the issue here

[flat breach]

I'm not cutting the line early, Random isn't detected like a missing reference as if I wasn't using the namespace and I can't access the Range() function

[stuck flower]

If you are having trouble with a line of code you should actually share that line of code. We can't see your screen. Whatever you share is what we have to work with.

[flat breach]

I can't get access to it

[storm patio]

show the actual error

[tall hearth]

Could be using (not sure it's term but eg using UnityEngine;) that just also uses the class Random

[storm patio]

let me guess, you also have using System

[flat breach]

the line of code is in the paste?

[stuck flower]

Okay, in that case, Random doesn't exist and you're missing a semicolon.

Problem solved

[stray rain]

@balmy kettle accepted pleas to friend, because i m stupid and i don't undurstand

[flat breach]

nice semicolon

[storm patio]

@flat breach you aren't giving much info to work with here at all. what is the actual issue? an error? no intellisense?

[storm patio]

ok, what's the error

[balmy kettle]

what does the actual error message say?

[flat breach]

I'm not

[stuck flower]

Hey cool that's not the line of code you originally shared

[tall hearth]

Could you share what you are using at the top

[stuck flower]

Now that you've posted the whole thing you can mention what the error is

[flat breach]

there are no errors, I haven't saved and run in unity yet as I've not access to the class I want

[stuck flower]

There is literally an error in your screenshot

[balmy kettle]

there is very clearly an error right there, you can hover your mouse over it to read it

[storm patio]

no errors? ok, no issue then.

i wonder what the red underline is though, if not an error

[flat breach]

because you asked me to add a semicolon???? What are you on? why would I add a semicolon after a class without calling the function or field ?

[storm patio]

errors are not a unity concept, man

[storm patio]

exactly, the code you shared just.. doesn't make sense to ask any questions about.

[flat breach]

wait I didn't understand

[balmy kettle]

i'm just gonna go ahead and post this link since it's probably what the error is
https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs0104

[tall hearth]

Yeah was gonna say i can guarentee the fix is just going UnityEngine.Random.Range();

[stuck flower]

Yes, the line you've shared now is correct. The one you shared originally was nonsense. I answered the problem with the nonsense code you originally shared.

[flat breach]

the thing is I bet he thought Random was a variable but no it's the Unity class

[storm patio]

or using Random = UnityEngine.Random

[storm patio]

no, noone thought that.

[tall hearth]

Yeah no

[flat breach]

it was nonsense because I didn't finish it???? I had no acccess to the function, are you reading what I say

[stuck flower]

I was pointing out that your line made no sense, because it didn't. Because you didn't share the whole thing.

[storm patio]

right, so why are you asking about unfinished code. that doesn't make sense. finish it, then ask.
-# (unless the issue is with like, intellisense, in which case, say so)

[balmy kettle]

point to where you actually said that though

[stuck flower]

Remember: We cannot see your screen

The only code we know about is what you show. If you show code that you are not using then how are we supposed to know what you actually want

[rancid igloo]

Bro, really can you help us. She need to finished project in one hour. And we trying to fix it 3 hours, i worked with godot and trying to help her. But i can't cause i didn't work with unity

[storm patio]

anyways, @flat breach read/share the actual error

[flat breach]

"I'm not cutting the line early, Random isn't detected like a missing reference as if I wasn't using the namespace and I can't access the Range() function"

[storm patio]

read/share the actual error

no point arguing

[flat breach]

but anyway, I poorly explained the issue mb let's get over it

[stuck flower]

What is the error

Christ

[storm patio]

you are making an assumption about the error, without having checked it

if you do not read/share the error, we cannot make any progress here.

[storm patio]

what's the issue

[balmy kettle]

i have no idea who you are referring to

[storm patio]

oh wow, look at that. it's not "can't find reference"

[tall hearth]

If you are refering to abdullah, the answer has been given a few times now

[storm patio]

@flat breach go read this

[balmy kettle]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[stuck flower]

Finally. Exactly what we expected:
#💻┃unity-talk message

[rancid igloo]

@stray rain I'm talking about her

[balmy kettle]

i gave an answer and told them where to look for more information about what they are doing. they need to actually pay attention to that information

[subtle owl]

What the hell is going on in the chat?

[storm patio]

@stray rain do this. then reposition your button so it makes sense within the canvas, rather than being in the world.

[flat breach]

I should probably add UnityEngine.Random.Range(); then but it's weird, I'm not even using Mathematics anymore

[storm patio]

stop pestering specific people

[storm patio]

then remove the using namespace directive

[flat breach]

for Mathematics? I did but unity still doesn't know which one I'm using

[storm patio]

unity has no part in this, this is from the c# compiler.

but yes, that's what i'm referring to

[balmy kettle]

share all of the code in that file as it currently exists

[storm patio]

@stray rain stop sending random friend requests, stop pestering specific people. you've been given instructions. if you need clarification, ask here.

[flat breach]

https://paste.ofcode.org/36B9DcA338vFursGAhS624Q

[balmy kettle]

and do you still see the red underline in vs code?

[flat breach]

yes but now that I added UnityEngine before it's okay

[balmy kettle]

what?

[flat breach]

ints[i] = UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 5);

[stuck flower]

So is that a yes or a no

[flat breach]

now it works when I'm specifying the namespace and class

[flat breach]

no* BRUh mb

[storm patio]

if you don't have UnityEngine. and get a similar error, then one of the other namespaces also has a type called Random. read the error to find out which

[flat breach]

my brain is gone

[storm patio]

make sure to actually read errors in the future

they give info, so you don't have to make assumptions and then be wrong

[flat breach]

yes sorry, I'll

[storm patio]

incomplete code isn't going to give meaningful semantic errors, it'll get syntax errors first. make the syntax correct before even considering semantic errors.

[storm patio]

also, holy fields. dont you wanna space them out a bit and put in some headers to make it easier to read lol (both in code and in the inspector)

[flat breach]

I didn't finish the line because usually I'm just like selecting the function immediately from the propositions.

[flat breach]

yee lol fr, I'll do this now this is too hard to read it

[storm patio]

don't rely on intellisense results to see if what you're doing has issues.
if intellisense has issues, that's a separate concern.

[tall hearth]

Not 95% of them also being public -_-

[near wigeon]

Just reset it to 0 and input your desired angle. Unity just gives you human readable Euler value but underlying value is a normalized quaternion

[flat breach]

because I wanted to use them in the editor but I'll set them to Serializedfield and private

I just wanted to take care of the organization later yk

[storm patio]

if it's also spinning really damn fast, that's an editor bug in 6.3

[storm patio]

don't forget, nothing's more permanent than a temporary solution

[tall hearth]

wanted to use them in the editor
This shouldn't be the reason for making them public

[storm patio]

if you put it off for "later" there's a significant chance that it'll end up being "when it shoots me in the foot" lol

[tawdry stag]

yeah its spinning insanely fast

[tawdry stag]

ahh ok i see, thank you

[storm patio]

yeah, editor bug

[near wigeon]

If it goes over 360 it means you rotated it more than onnce

[flat breach]

lol, thank you so much for your advices bro

[flat breach]

ok

[storm patio]

does that get reset back to [-180, 180] normally, eg when you release your mouse cursor?
-# i don't have unity open right now

[stuck flower]

Yeah the rotate tool is a bit wonky at the moment. Like the sensitivity is dialed stupidly high. You should probably just type in values for now until it's fixed

[near wigeon]

I don't remember but don't think it does , I don't have unity open either lol

It only cares that internally is a normalized quaternion afaik

I have been struggling w/ making a mirror for over 2 months. Everything i try is slightly broken every time.

What do i do

[near wigeon]

In the inspector

[naive cloud]

wait just found it

[near wigeon]

Depends. The most accurate could bee a second camera with RT texture/ material on the mesh but rendering part of world twice has performance implications

[paper sleet]

I want a mirror that has a mirrored camera for every player

[near wigeon]

what now?

[paper sleet]

What?

wdym?

[fleet canopy]

elaborate what you mean by this

this makes no sense

[paper sleet]

I want a mirror that is accurate to a real mirror. The camera moving with the player's movement

to give it depth

I just want a mirror that can point the opposite direction of the player's perspective but from the mirror to actually "reflect" like a mirror does instead of looking completely flat

[copper gust]

most games just don't do that ngl

getting into raytracing territory

[paper sleet]

I won't rlly have many.

[copper gust]

older games that did have mirrors in some places would literally have it as a window into a identical room with a fake player moving in a reflected version of the player

[paper sleet]

I just want to try it. if it doesn't work right, then i'll scrap it

render textures w/ static cameras just dont do mirrors justice

I haven't even made any levels bc i have been creating the core mechanics since like october. intentional Box jump glitches (Inspired by Sam Hogan, mostly the actual box jump. idk how he did it 1st try), mirrors, box spawners and voicelines. There are SO many more

mostly mirrors tho

Would i need to just use a transform reflect function?

[worn juniper]

Hello! How can i make my enemy hear my via modifying steamaudio raycast system. I traveled through 7000 lines and yet no solution. Yes i know how its done in other games: graph or just radius check. But realistic sound is very, very needed in my game. pls help

[dusky siren]

what logging service do you use for your games?

[flat breach]

hi, this is the error I'm getting when I enter playmode : and this is the code at 75th line, I'm just accessing UnityEngine class and its function which shouldn't give a null reference right?

[copper gust]

whats ints

[elder prairie]

please help... my last save was quite a while ago and my deadline is in 2 hours

[copper gust]

can't tell what the issue is

if unity is locked up you might have to restart it

[elder prairie]

T~T

I'm gonna cry

[elder prairie]

every click

is

giving that one errory sound

[copper gust]

probably a restart then

[worldly cave]

Sounds like an entirely preventable issue

Why are you not saving often?

This is like using any software 101

2 hours without saving and im assuming 0 version control is just irresponsible on your part

[elder prairie]

I'm not sure how much I'm losing rn

I'll have to see

[stuck flower]

https://medium.com/@rogermoore06/recovering-from-a-unity-crash-safeguard-your-progress-3d6a10c0f7f

Ah, no embed that would have provided context

[elder prairie]

okay okay

not toooo awful

[stuck flower]

You can restore your scene after force-quitting Unity as long as you do it before starting it back up again

[elder prairie]

maybe 20 minutes of work

[elder prairie]

good to know

[worldly cave]

Still dont disregard the valuable lesson here

Not even unity specific just in general

[elder prairie]

yeah I know but usually you don't save every 5 minutes yk

[flat breach]

ints is an int array variable

[copper gust]

show where it's declared

[worldly cave]

I save every minute.

A good habit to have

[copper gust]

its null

[stuck flower]

Where do you assign it to a value?

Where do you create a new array?

[flat breach]

... right

[paper sleet]

could someone vc w/ me who is good with accurate mirrors? I am struggling

[copper gust]

nope

[flat breach]

I should take more importance regarding organization, it's so hard to keep up with a badly organized code...

[paper sleet]

Is that to me?

[copper gust]

yup

no vc's here

[paper sleet]

could someone help me in my server? Is "self-promotion" against the rules even if it's not for promotional reasons

[worldly cave]

For discord servers yes

[copper gust]

no vc's here because help via text in here is prefered

for many reasons

just two cents from a stranger on the internet but i would seriously consider if you actually need these mirrors

[paper sleet]

I have a secret that would humiliate me in front of the unity discord.

[worldly cave]

Ok

[paper sleet]

I don't know how to code in c#. I use.... CHATGPT!!! ;-;

[copper gust]

ok

well go learn c#

mirrors are the least of your problems

[worldly cave]

Its embarassing but not really humiliating

Not that you cant code no

But you not knowing how to code and using ai

Thats the rough part

[paper sleet]

I rlly have been trying to learn by the things that work that chatgpt gives me. I can code in so many languages but not c#. I took a beginners class for c++ but that is basically it

[worldly cave]

Also why do people who choose to use ai always pick the dumbest one for programming in general

[copper gust]

makes about as much sense as the stuff chatgpt vomits out

[paper sleet]

I think i should do that... That's a good idea.

[paper sleet]

Wdym?

Like a very very beginner level class

[worldly cave]

You know many languages

But dont know C?

[paper sleet]

i know a lot of the easy ones. Python, html, css (a decent amount), javascript (enough to make basic sites), php (only the html part XD), bash/zsh (basically the same with just tiny differences but i know a decent amount), swift (not anymore tho), and a few more

[worldly cave]

So not that many

Got it

[paper sleet]

For a teen, yes, kinda

[worldly cave]

If you want to get started with c# theres plenty of pins in #💻┃code-beginner

Wtf happened to the pins

I gotta get off discord now. I'm at school and they don't want me on it

[near wigeon]

calling html a real programming language is like saying crayons are the same as welding torch

[copper gust]

they are a teenager at school

[tall hearth]

Html is not a programming language -_-

[exotic relic]

Even if it isn’t a programming language, it is helpful for learning formatting(spaces), open & closings, and consistency

[tall hearth]

Oh didn't even see this lol, but as it's name says its a markup language not a programming

[molten lodge]

Quick question, if I use rider for unity and decide that one of the games is going very well and I decide to publish it, can I buy the commercial rider JUST before publishing it? Or do I have to actively have the commercial license while developing the game

[fleet canopy]

that's not really something we can answer that's more on jetbrains' terms

probably yes though

[sly lake]

They're very clear about this.

"If you plan to release the product and get commercial benefits from it, either now or in the future, you should use a commercial license. If your project is for non-commercial purposes, then a non-commercial license is valid. However, if your intentions change over time, you’ll need to reassess whether you still qualify for non-commercial use. If you’re unsure after considering your intentions, it’s safer to choose a commercial license."

[simple eagle]

What is everyone's opinion about the Junior Programmer pathway on Unity Learn, is it worth the time if I'm a beginner?

[molten lodge]

Ahhh gotcha. I've honestly never used rider before but I keep hearing thats the best for unity. I've always been a vscode guy

[fleet canopy]

jetbrains makes pretty good IDEs but it's up to what you prefer

im sure there's people here who use notepad

[short grove]

First time I bought models off the unity store
forgot to accouint on if they supported URP or not

[gray frigate]

Rider is really nice.

I bought a license before they had the non-commercial version (although I do use it for commercial purposes now)

[fleet canopy]

can agree, have been using jetbrains IDEs under a student license for quite a while now

i dont suppoort their AI art splash screen though

[gray frigate]

the slop must flow!

[fleet canopy]

they're not even a public company where the investors are paying them to do that

they just did

[molten lodge]

I think I'll mess with the non commercial right now so I can just play around with it but when I decide to go in on a big project I'll get the license. I'm excited to use it. The UI looks SLICK

[fleet canopy]

the UI looks even better when yous et it to comic sans

but yes you should try all the options

i've told you twice now

[plush sigil]

what channel would i go to here for help with the skinned mesh renderer component?

[deft rock]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[near wigeon]

dont ask to ask just ask the question on your problem with details, if is wrong channel someone will say

[worldly cave]

all of the pathways are pretty good

its worth it imo

[safe garden]

having a weird thing happen, there's a moving object set up by the level designer. I've dropped in a custom mesh I have made just under the mover on hierachy (the object that moves the object left to right)

However whenever I add the custom mesh to its hierachy, the object stops moving on play. For some reason though using a 3D gameobject > cube, or any other shape made in Unity and doing the same process, the object moves fine 🤔

[copper gust]

does your custom mesh have a collider component

[safe garden]

no, no collision

[copper gust]

might be worth adding one and seeing if that changes anything (im mentioning because they unity default shapes do have one so thats a point of difference)

[safe garden]

just trying now!

hmmm tried adding box collider and mesh collider both on separate tries, but doesn't work

the moving object also works with a 3D game object (cube, etc.) made within unity, but if its a custom mesh made in something like Blender, it breaks

[copper gust]

best answer would be to ask whoever wrote the code

another random shot in the dark is seeing if enabling read access on the mesh is enabled (in the fbx settings)

[safe garden]

they're all in bed now, I'll do it in the morning 😄 ty will try tomorrow

@copper gust I think you were right, I tested removing all the colliders on those meshes and now its moving fine, it seems to be a collision issue - have to look into it

[copper gust]

handling characters going on and off moving stuff is a whole pain in the ass to deal with and most solutions require somewhat specific setups on the moving stuff to have it working all nice

it might be looking through all the children and making assumptions on what they need

[safe garden]

will take a look at it thanks!!

[smoky harness]

Hello. If I have a question about the editor. where should I ask?

[vocal niche]

hi

what is the best way to store and interact with game setting ?

like
I thought doing a SO to store this in the game manager then give the game manager to the UI setting and in the UI setting update all

[glad crow]

guys any idea why doesn't my textmeshpro change from blank to "you lose" when i die?
it succesfully destroys my game object but it doesn't display the text lol,here is the code:

im a beginner

[vocal niche]

is it a 2d game ?

[glad crow]

yes

when i type something i can see the text in the game view

but not with my script lol

[vocal niche]

did your collision work ?

[glad crow]

yes

[vocal niche]

have you bind the text in the inspector ?

[glad crow]

i have this

[vocal niche]

or give the player tag to the current player ?

[glad crow]

yes i gave the player the tag

[vocal niche]

did your TextMesh Pro is in a canvas?

[glad crow]

but it confuses me when i try to drag a prefab from the hierarchy and project files,it's 2 completely different things

[stuck flower]

Is EndGame an object in the scene or a prefab

[glad crow]

yes

it's a prefab

[vocal niche]

oh

your EndGame textmesh should be in scene to work

[glad crow]

idk if it is now lol

[stuck flower]

So you're changing the text of a prefab that exists in the file system and is never seen

[glad crow]

so i have to drag it from the hierarchy?

[stuck flower]

You'll need to reference the one that exists somehow

[glad crow]

i'll experiment lol

ima try make a new textmesh

[stuck flower]

If this is also a prefab, you'll need to get the reference after spawning it in

[glad crow]

i tried without a prefab and it works,but now i cannot get my textmesh inside of my prefab

so i have the floor and the pipes

floor isnt a prefab and the pipes are prefabs

missing textmesh

[copper gust]

you can't reference things outside of a prefab asset in the prefab asset

[glad crow]

oh

what if i make the whole canvas a prefab

[copper gust]

if it's something in another prefab that still wouldn't work because it's outside of the prefab

it's like microwaves sold at a store still boxed, they are designed with a power plug but it's not like the microwave at the store in the box can be plugged into the wall in your house

it's designed to plug into something but it fundamentally can't know what that something is when it's in the box

[vocal niche]

what a nice exemple

btw, my question got skipped xd

what is the best way to store all setting like resolution, full screen , Volume and more?

and make the interaction with the UI ?

[potent geyser]

PlayerPrefs

[stuck flower]

Those sort of things seem like the actual correct use case for PlayerPrefs:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html

[vocal niche]

damn, i completly forget this thing (the first thing I use when learned Unity)

thanks

[potent geyser]

The thing every video tutorial polluting the Internet convinces beginners to use for the wrong reason, finally has a use.

[copper gust]

Would be nice if there was a better super basic solution for people to use instead

[fleet canopy]

doesnt unity 6.(3?) have something built in for save data

not specifically prefs but game data

[potent geyser]

That would be news to me

[fleet canopy]

oh

maybe im misremembering from the unity unite

[copper gust]

yeah for their multi platform stuff

not sure if that fits the boot im thinking of tho

[fleet canopy]

it was 33 minutes into the engine roadmap but it's part of platform toolkit

[exotic relic]

Thats fair, for settings. But at the same time, PlayerPrefs are universal, very nice for all sorts of settings and its as little as 1-3 lines of code to save & load

[copper gust]

i agree

except they are saved where that stuff shouldnt be saved

which is shit

hence why it would be nice if another similar but intended solution existed

[exotic relic]

Thats true, I agree that the registry shouldnt get filled up by prefs.

[fleet canopy]

is platform toolkit only designed to be used with console platforms?

datastore this is what i was referring to earlier

[exotic relic]

Actually now that I think about it, some things saved could be nice to have if they decide to reinstall the game. Playerprefs dont get deleted if you delete the game, yet it can be read again. Compared to storing stuff in the local directory.

[gray frigate]

anything you write to the persistent data path should be fine

[tall hearth]

It would, making json classes and wrappers is such a pain for me and takes like 2 hours. Though mainly cause i dont do it often so im not all too experienced in the "art" of making them

[exotic relic]

It is for any platform. I personally dont understand it though, it stores stuff locally but youd still need some sort of networking setup for another device to read it...

[fleet canopy]

another device?

like a dev kit?

[exotic relic]

Its basically like saving stuff to a json file, except its unitys api

you no longer need to create a system file reader

[fleet canopy]

i guess that's more convenient though? if it's easy to use

[exotic relic]

unity has its own new built in method for saving/reading/writing to files

[tall hearth]

Not sure about with how uninstalling from settings does it but programs like steam dont delete the programs appdata folder (where most games store save data) after you install the game so most save methods would keep data over different installs

[tall hearth]

does the c# System.IO not work for non windows applications?

[exotic relic]

No. But unity has its own api for that now, which works on ANY platform with the same code

kind of like using playerprefs except it stores it in a binary format

Whatever you can do in a json file, you can do with the DataStore basically, yet you do not need to code your own parsing system. Unity already safely parses, hides the save, and has callbacks for waiting to properly save

[tall hearth]

curious now does it support saving dictionaries?

[exotic relic]

Yes

Not directly, but.. in a way

[tall hearth]

:o nice i know that was something annoying with json since you'd need to manually handle the wrapper so it'd be like storing it as 2 lists

[tall hearth]

oh damn nvm then 😔

[exotic relic]

it works similar to List, so it basically stores List

[copper gust]

unity does have a serializedictionary tho

just not serialization of the c# type

which is dumb but whatever

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@14.0/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.SerializedDictionary-2.html

[tall hearth]

there's a non c# dictionary that people use? didn't know this

[copper gust]

i always use this free implementation if you need nice inspector too
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/serialized-dictionary-243052

[exotic relic]

MyItems:
  - sword:1
  - stone:20
```it would save it in those sort of format. idk what you fully intended to save as a dictionary but for example, yes it could save a whole players inventory in one line of code, using other lines of code to feed it the data you want to store in such dictionary

[vocal niche]

Wow

[tall hearth]

i've just used odin inspector for inspector stuff but this looks like a nice free alternative

[vocal niche]

maybe I will take it later

[bleak chasm]

oh my bad, will share there

[fair cove]

Do you use Newtonsoft or something else to handle your JSON data?

[tall hearth]

Nope just basic old written code, tbh though i've only gotten a year and like 4 months of work in any programming so i dont know how to use many api's or assets of the sort

I've only used whatever microsoft gave us in their namespace libraries (so things like using system.io; ) for data saving

[brave ridge]

look into using newtonsoft. it can save the dictionary automatically. You should almost never be parsing file formats yourself

[tall hearth]

Hmm i think i may have to, writting the dictionary wrapper just the one time took me the majority of the day

[fair cove]

Ah, next time your working with serialized data, maybe you could give Newtonsoft JSON a try, its not too difficult to work with since you only need to deal with 2 functions (Serialize and Deserialize), and your saving and reading from a file so you would still use System.IO for that part, and choose where youd want to save to (such as PersistentDataPath), but it handles things like Dictionaries fine, as long as you dont try to save anything that is self-referencing like Unitys "Color" class there shouldnt be any extra steps involved with it

Although I will say, it does help having a wrapper you write once, I made a "SaveService" that basically just wraps the Serialize/Deserialize with System IO in some functions that take in a file name and use System.IO.Path.Combine to always access the same location, I also infer the extention, so scripts only need to do something like SaveService.Save("inventory"); inventoryInstance = SaveService.Load<InventoryData>("inventory");

[brave ridge]

newtonsoft doesn't have an issue with those unity classes either if you also grab their converter package

think its this one
https://github.com/applejag/Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity.Converters?tab=readme-ov-file

[fair cove]

Oh? Interesting, I didnt know that it can automatically handle that
