[brave ridge]

it basically just defines the logic for a lot of those classes that may have issues. like this is for color
https://github.com/applejag/Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity.Converters/blob/master/Packages/Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity.Converters/UnityConverters/Math/ColorConverter.cs
nothing complex really and seems easy enough to make your own if ever needed in the future. I notice it says now this isnt maintained anymore

[copper gust]

could even setup a nice class wrapper like

public class SavedValue<T>
{
    public string Name { get; private set; }
    private T _value;
    public T Value
    {
      get => _value;
      set
      {
        JSON.Serialize(/*Name, value or whatever*/);
        _value = value;
      }
    }

    public SavedValue(string serializationName)
    {
      Name = serializationName;     
    }
}

or something rather

[fair cove]

Hmm thats actually a interesting idea, could probably pair well with a ScriptableObjects workflow for data

[copper gust]

yeee

thought about it after using networkvariables in NGO

[unreal spindle]

I'm trying to relearn the basics of C# and programming and I was told there was somewhere here I could go to that has those resources. Is it in the docs or learn command?

[rancid whale]

Didn’t know we had a docs command

[noble locust]

Is it possible to make a cracked glass shader in unity that plays into a damage model system

[slow dirge]

Sure. Everything is possible.

[noble locust]

do you have any tutorials? or know any cracked glass shaders?

[austere marten]

hello 👋🏻

[slow dirge]

Not really. You'll need to research that. It would also depend heavily on how you want it to work.

[noble locust]

it's for a fighter jet canopy

fighter jet takes damage > glass shader changes

[slow dirge]

Could probably be as simple as lerping between the main texture and a cracked texture.

[noble locust]

i think a shader would be better because of the kind of material the canopy uses

[slow dirge]

I was talking about a shader

[mystic oriole]

How would you go about using root motion with more advanced NPCs? And having the movement 100% driven by root motion?
Like say I have an NPC that wants to follow the player. Would I literally need a ton of leg/feet rotation animations with varying degrees of rotation?

This sounds like a nightmare especially when you get into climbing stairs, etc but root motion is so nice looking

[exotic relic]

Typically a NPC is the same as a character, a capsule moves and the animation is separate.

You can optionally make the capsule face the player and only ever use a walk animation forward

[mystic oriole]

I'm talking about driving the movement using 100% root motion

[exotic relic]

Wouldn’t be ideal. It’s going to have issues when it runs into bumps

[slow dirge]

IK and animation speed adjustment to movement speed is usually enough.

[exotic relic]

This is a zombie ai I made to track a player, it’s only 1 animation walk forward. Simple capsule sliding.
If you need to go up a ladder you would probably lock the capsule to the ladder location and make it go upward while the animation is playing the visuals

To me it doesn’t look bad when turning even though it’s not using turn animations

[mystic oriole]

ok nice

are you just getting the navmesh points and rotating the zombie towards them?

[exotic relic]

Yes it uses nav mesh. This is good because nav mesh is performant. You can add temporary 3d models on top of the nav mesh while it’s baking to force good and bad zones too

[hollow parrot]

guys is there a way to recover a prefab that loads infinitely?

[copper gust]

you'd have to elaborate

[river plinth]

How do I make a speed run best time mechanic so when you beat the game on speed run mode in the leader boards in the corner it shows you best time and when you beat your best time it changes and etc

[copper gust]

i say this to be productive, this is not a good question

no one can answer this well

[rancid whale]

Nice. At that movement speed foot sliding won’t be noticeable in-game
Couple more animation states and you pretty much have DayZ zombies 🤔

[river plinth]

Oh

[copper gust]

you have to figure out what you don't understand about what that question needs and learn each thing

[hollow parrot]

i have a huge scene setup inside a prefab. everytime i add a new object or another prefab inside the parent prefab i Update it. While updating it, it suddenly went busy. After 16 mins of waiting i had to force close unity. Now my unity scene with that prfab wont open/the prefab itself does not load into a new scene.

[rancid whale]

You’d need to store those times somewhere “on the cloud”, like a database probably
Load the latest updates “from the cloud”
Locally, store the player’s speedrun times…
Not much to it, no?

[copper gust]

Ideally you would use version control and roll back to a previous version

[hollow parrot]

what about a non ideal situation?

[copper gust]

there might be a way to identify the issue in the prefab via text editor but realistically it's probably remaking it

and then learning why you should use version control

[rancid whale]

Can’t you delete the prefab from the project folder files,
Re-make it after 🤷‍♂️

[copper gust]

You probably don't want huge setups in prefabs btw, that's not their strong suit

[hollow parrot]

i use git to push my changes at eod. but while saving to push. unity got stuck in a loop and now i cant edit the prefab

lost a days work of effort

[rancid whale]

And, a lot of types of things in Unity have plain text data that you can open in VS Code and just.. Edit

Maybe that’s worth a shot then you can delete the problematic part of it?

[hollow parrot]

i have setup a huge scene inside the prefab

[copper gust]

any reason that huge scene is not a scene

[hollow parrot]

my friend thought it would be a good idea to setup individual maps inside a prefba so that he can load said prefab instead of loading a scene.

i dont understand it, because i dont have much knowledge in that area.

but i guess we have found the problem

[storm patio]

using prefabs as ad-hoc additive scenes, damn

[copper gust]

fair, i'd recommend otherwise but im just a stranger on the internet so do whatever works for yall

i somewhat vaguely see the vision but it's just not great in the long haul

for issues like this and memory issues you'll run into if the game gets fairly big in size

[hollow parrot]

so i imagine individual maps should be their own scene?

[rancid whale]

As I understand doing it this way is against the “modular points of failure” principle

[hollow parrot]

so opening the prefab in a text editor, what should i be looking for?

[copper gust]

god knows

[hollow parrot]

lmao

[copper gust]

unless it really stands out from a brief scan i don't think it's worth the time

[rancid whale]

Yeah I’ve never done it. But with various other types of things it’s pretty clear when looking at it in text

[copper gust]

that might not be true at all

could very much be some subtle thing

[rancid whale]

Could be. I’ve never tried it with a prefab. Worth a shot

[hollow parrot]

if its not too much to ask, what should a prefab be used for?

only for assets that can be instantiated?

[copper gust]

dunno if this metaphor is cooked but scenes are your house and prefabs are what you would buy if you wanted to build and furnish the house

[hollow parrot]

yea like the assets themselves

[copper gust]

yes-ish but asset as a word is fairly broad while also being a very specific term in unity as well

[hollow parrot]

so i just built a lego house

[copper gust]

yeah

[rancid whale]

quick Google search for “should Unity prefabs be used to store an entire environment or scene”
perfect answers

[copper gust]

that was not their question

[rancid whale]

Maybe for the next time they will Google it before trying the next idea

[hollow parrot]

i guess

[rancid whale]

Just trying to help

[copper gust]

fuck ai

[copper gust]

the question was fine

[azure grove]

it depends on what you are building and how you are structuring it

[hollow parrot]

somethings you learn the hard way i guess

[rancid whale]

this was what came up for me

[azure grove]

sometimes they are just used for orgnization purposes to divide things up, but othertimes are part of the games logic since they are things that are instantiated at runtime

[copper gust]

who cares what ai spit out

[rancid whale]

It’s from a Reddit discussion

[azure grove]

thing is, unity can be used to make any sort of game

[copper gust]

then link the reddit discussion

[azure grove]

so what its tools are used for differ heavily based on the wanted outcome

[rancid whale]

If this topic was complex enough I would!
It’s pretty clear cut prefabs shouldn’t contain entire scenes

[copper gust]

absolutely

we talked about that

they asked something else

you misread it and starting posting ai

[hollow parrot]

guys thanks for your help.

[rancid whale]

Just wanted to share my practice of, “Google it first” ok? 🤷‍♂️

[hollow parrot]

someone is going to learn something new today.

[azure grove]

since you are describing it as huge how is it referecned

is it referenced in the scene, and is there more then 1

if so, yeah you are going to hit issues quickly since you would have the content of all them loaded at once all the time

[hollow parrot]

currently there are 2 such prefabs, but the second is just 1 terrain plane with assets spawning in them. but the "broken" prefab is a whole desert scene with hundreds of small props in them

[azure grove]

ok so why do you want it as a prefab instead of a scene

with a scene you get a lot of benefits around controlling what content is in memory but also stuff like environment settings are set for you etc

[copper gust]

oh yeah forgot about environment settings

fuck unity for the one thats done

[hollow parrot]

like i said my friend is the one who suggested to do this so it would be easier for him to work on the scene while i just work on the scene and update the prefab before pushing to git so it wouldnt conflict

[azure grove]

they can still be set via code at runtime too, though gets harder if you got lightmaps or prop data

[azure grove]

so a scene with a bunch of nested prefabs in it for parts of it

[copper gust]

until you start messing with additive scene loading and can only access one of them ❤️

[rancid whale]

The more we show others that a quick Google search or prompt to an AI can yield good answers,
The better off everyone will be!
It’s great at summarizing / digging up research (not necessarily writing code. Never that ok?)

[azure grove]

the usecase of having addative thigns that all effects fog and ambient etc is pretty low

[hollow parrot]

exactly.

[copper gust]

I think beginners prompting to learn is stupid and people suggesting it is extremely harmful

[copper gust]

skybox has come up for me a few times

[rancid whale]

Yet, this time a quick search could’ve saved the person “a day’s work”

[copper gust]

that isn't true at all?

they didn't even make the choice

[rancid whale]

Wasn’t a choice it was a “suggestion” if I recall the wording correctly
To make things easier with version control

[copper gust]

that is not the part of the sentence that matters

extremely weird energy

[rancid whale]

2 friends… Who both didn’t yet learn the power of,
Hey let’s Google that first before we try that route

[rancid whale]

It’s your perspective. For me your energy is weird and often combative

[copper gust]

they had no reason to google it

[storm patio]

googling sure, AI no

[rancid whale]

Oh so we are just out here doing stuff in Unity however we like without Googleing first. Okay

[copper gust]

they know how scenes work

they know how prefabs work

they made a choice

they assumed it was fine until proven otherwise

do you google everything you do every day?

[rancid whale]

One person “suggested” to the other,
And neither confirmed with a Google search if it was a viable route to take

[storm patio]

the "can" holds a lot of weight
a quick google search can be useful, if you can use the right search terms.
an AI prompt can be useful, if you already have sufficient experience to filter bullshit - which is not the case for beginners learning

[copper gust]

extremely normal and common behaviour

[rancid whale]

But go off, I’d rather “teach the person how to fish” so next time they don’t lose a day’s work

Or however the saying goes

[hollow parrot]

please dont get worked up. its of no use since ive aleady learnt the problem. All i can tell you is thank you for your time 🙂

[copper gust]

it feels like you've seen other people suggest people google things and are applying it to unrelated scenarios

[rancid whale]

No I just be googling first before I start doing things yea

[storm patio]

is someone going to seek out instructions to fish, if they already "know" how to fish, even if the way they know isn't optimal

[azure grove]

arguing about this is not constructive, move on

[rancid whale]

Same way I would Google oh, what’s the best way to store things i tuned at runtime that won’t reset when exit play mode

Or would I go about coming up with my own funky solution?

I rest my case

[storm patio]

ok, do you google that every time though

[azure grove]

are many things i have not looked up again in years, since its stuff i already know

[storm patio]

this is blatently a different situation

do you google every time you have a thought to confirm if it's correct lmao

[rancid whale]

Until I know everything I need to know to accomplish what I set out to, yeah ?

[copper gust]

also even in this specific scenario the two big problems are a issue with unity fucking stuff up and fairly niche memory issues that a majority of people dont know about

it was a pretty fine suggestion

[azure grove]

also often looking it up on google will not work since enough context was not provided

are a lot of cases where either approach would be perfectly fine, and that only changes as more context and information is added

[storm patio]

how do you know if you already know everything you need to know?
how do you know you aren't missing something?
generally if you've figured something out once and you still remember, you don't often seek out instructions to do it again - just how learning works

[rancid whale]

Idk I tried to “do things my own way” a bunch in Unity.
After having to rewrite code a few times I was like, you know what let me double check what the popular or accepted solution is first.

[storm patio]

this.. is one of the viable solutions

[rancid whale]

Just trying to help others not go down that path. Google first, try cool idea 2nd.

[storm patio]

have you considered that maybe that has already happened

(and this is part of the first step)

[rancid whale]

No because they didn’t Google it
But I’m sure next time they will before trying something new

Takes like 30 seconds or less, saves possibly having to lose “a day’s work”

[copper gust]

you don't learn without failure

[storm patio]

hypothetically, it's perfectly reasonable to see someone researching and getting results about using prefabs

it's not like scenes are the only way to do it

[copper gust]

alsoo, when they did google it and use trash ai the answer it gave them could absolutely be misled

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497872424281440267/1459035407885930506/image.png?ex=6961d01c&is=69607e9c&hm=a935318bd1b180c935974ecbc5296e78f16ffea5b7c706781f40beb4c76c02f4&

[rancid whale]

Hypothetically but. I’ve noticed like a 90% success rate at least with Google Gemini

[azure grove]

current game i am on a level is multiple layers of scenes, past game i worked on there was really only like 1 scene for the whole game, and a level was just a bag of data. both cases were the ideal approach

[storm patio]

yikes

[copper gust]

"use prefabs to manage individual components" could absolutely spiral into bad behaviour

[storm patio]

ok i'm just not engaging with this

[rancid whale]

And I’m not mentioning that ChatGPT understands motion matching step by step lol. Wanna see ?

[copper gust]

no one cares

[storm patio]

no, i don't want to read bullshit

[rancid whale]

I was always with that mentality
Until I saw it explain step by step
And it matched a video I saw where someone showed how they built it

But hey, maybe you will have a similar experience and realize too

[storm patio]

legitimately "opinion discarded" right now lmao

no, i genuinely do not give a shit

[copper gust]

sounds like they just stole the video lmao

[rancid whale]

I would be offended if I didn’t have the actual links to back what I’m saying up 🗿

[storm patio]

/dev/null

[copper gust]

no one thinks your lying

people do not value your truth

[rancid whale]

Sure yeah. Which is great, so. Instead of scouring the internet, we let the AI do it

[storm patio]

holy shit this has been discussed to death

what a dumb workflow

[copper gust]

if someone used ai to steal my video i would hope they get hit by a car

👍

[storm patio]

a car is too light

[copper gust]

i dont want to be banned on discord lmfao

[rancid whale]

Sure okay.
It’s just that 90% of questions I see in here,
Google Gemini summary literally spits out exactly the answers you guys give

[azure grove]

so few levels to this, AI often fucks shit up and b even concreat sources are not ideal for all use cases

[storm patio]

The Bus Factor is a metric measuring how many individuals need to be hit by a bus for a project to be doomed.

[copper gust]

i know the number is made up and i think it's inaccurate but like 10% is really high

[storm patio]

ok, and then the 10%? how does a beginner know they're getting the 10%

that's the crux of AI use. this mentality is dumb

[copper gust]

yup, or like the result that guy googled, while it's technically correct it was phrased in a way that could be harmful

[rancid whale]

Maybe I’ll keep track of it for a day on here,
And at the end of day send all the screenshots

[storm patio]

please don't

it's unnessary and frankly unwanted

make a thread for your echo chamber if you want

it's annoying, to be blunt.

[rancid whale]

I wasn’t going to just pushing the agenda

[storm patio]

...that's exactly what you're doing

[copper gust]

also like, you know ai only gets to that "90%" by real people answering real questions right

[rancid whale]

Well yeah, since we’re here getting into it. I want to state the reality

[storm patio]

god this is such a waste of time

[copper gust]

people don't reply to google ai results being like "hey, this one worked!"

[rancid whale]

I’m talking about Gemini specifically and yeah, it literally shows the web links it found the info from 🙂

[azure grove]

even with that it returns you are not putting much critical thinking into it, all sources have to be questioned

[storm patio]

...that it's actually still bad?

[copper gust]

you did not understand my message correctly

if people used ai instead of going to that web link

there would not be a web link

[rancid whale]

I’m just saying it summarizes the right web links a lot. Really useful

[storm patio]

treat yourself better

[rancid whale]

Not saying it “knows” anything. Just a great web scraper, time saver

[azure grove]

its only pulling from content that exists, it will not be able to do new things unless people make content for it to ingest

[rancid whale]

Yup

[azure grove]

since it cant just read the docs and make the leaps a person can about how to use it

[copper gust]

why is every ai person like this man 😭

[rancid whale]

That’s right. We’re fortunate that so much “how does one accomplish this in a game engine” stuff is already discussed, debated

[rancid whale]

I haven’t used a single line of code from AI relax bro

[copper gust]

You are suggesting people stop making this

[azure grove]

everyone is saying that will not always be the case and the using AI for everything will mean content it is not created anymore

[rancid whale]

Google Gemini is literally in our face every search, what’s the big deal to vouch for it

[storm patio]

you know what's also a good scraper that's a) actually ethical and b) not remixing words?

a search engine

[storm patio]

Google Gemini is literally in our face every search
we can change this reality, easily even

this is such a dumb reason to promote AI lmao

[copper gust]

The creepy guy at the bus station might be at my face every morning but that doesn’t mean unwanted presence is valuable

[storm patio]

"factories pumping wastewater into rivers are everywhere, why not support them"

[azure grove]

its problematic and designed to short circuit actual thinking

[rancid whale]

What’s unethical about scraping the most popular resources and summarizing what was said?
Isn’t that what you guys do here?
Isn’t that what “knowledge” is effectively?

(Not saying applying critical thinking to what you read isn’t valuable.)

[storm patio]

unethical

scraping
literally 2 words apart

[copper gust]

You just said this

[rancid whale]

So it summarizing what it scraped is so bad

[azure grove]

well its removing traffic from the primary sources, those sources will not see benefit in existing anymore and dry up over time

[rancid whale]

It’s like 80% the words pulled right from the links, 20% cute summary phrasing fluff. wtf guys

[rancid whale]

Oh shit. Okay that’s a good point

[copper gust]

Yes and it’s been mentioned 5 times

[rancid whale]

Removing traffic from the primary sources? Must have missed the part where that was said already

[copper gust]

Traffic being added to AI (you suggesting people use it) means traffic is being removed elsewhere

[storm patio]

i want to exit this "discussion" so bad but it's so harrowing seeing someone spew harmful advice into the world, damn

[rancid whale]

I would think there’s tracking of which Google search Gemini summaries stay on screen the most but, fair enough

[fleet canopy]

before you ask ai, ask yourself, is this question worth the whole water supply of a small isolated desert town?

[copper gust]

What the fuck does this mean or have to do with anything

[rancid whale]

To preserve the “this Reddit discussion has the best points made” traffic thing

[fleet canopy]

what do you gain from using AI? your point i saw was synthesising information, but that is actually a genuine skill

[rancid whale]

I am worried after what Passerby said. Most times I Google search I don’t click a link, the summary was correct already

[copper gust]

I’m not trying to be rude here but you seem to be fundamentally misunderstanding every like second message someone has sent here

[fleet canopy]

also ummmmm where's the unity in this guys!!!

[rancid whale]

Besides the time I asked ChatGPT to break down how motion matching works,
I’ve only ever “used” it by searching on Google

All I said was that it’s usually right and I don’t even have to click a link

[slow dirge]

Just curious how many of the "ethical" people here don't use adblock or similar extensions in their browser.😬

[rancid whale]

Not sure how that turned into… This

[storm patio]

so why not use the tool purpose built for that, called google

less steps, more direct info

[rancid whale]

Like, I get the AI hatred, I’ve always felt that same way,
But now we’re going to say, Oh I don’t want to get correct answers instantly from the Gemini summary and instead read 3-4 Reddit posts?
Value your time guys

[copper gust]

ima be so real no you dont know get the ai hatred

[rancid whale]

If you’re looking up rocket science I agree yeah.
I’m just saying, REALLY often Gemini spits out exactly what you guys say

[copper gust]

you do not understand why people dislike it

[rancid whale]

And you have not helped me to understand
Passerby did a bit, so thanks to that person

[copper gust]

Based on what they said and what you replied i don't think you understood their point either tbh

[copper gust]

i mean given (insert many ai topics) i'd say it's a lot easier to have a ethical stance on it vs. ad blockers and piracy

i mean twitter just this week

[storm patio]

if i valued my time that much, i wouldn't be creating. i value learning, expertise, skills, and the quality of my work.

[rancid whale]

Okay whatever.
We can keep talking about this, or I can actually go through days/weeks of questions posted on here and show you that Gemini summary said the same thing you guys did.
But hey, let’s keep answering people’s questions instead of asking them “what did a simple Google search yield?”

Value your time guys

[copper gust]

this would not matter

christ

[storm patio]

jesus christ

[copper gust]

even if it was accurate (which we know its not) the point is that if people used ai instead of getting help on the internet ai could not scrape people getting help on the internet

[storm patio]

you're just being intentionally stubborn here at this point i feel

[rancid whale]

So much heat just for stating some observations I made

[copper gust]

if people did what you said they wouldn't be able to do it

because no one would make the stuff it requires

[storm patio]

because they're harmful for the target audience, and not wholly truthful

[copper gust]

me when people dont want misinformation on a server dedicated to information

[storm patio]

the problem with AI was never the utility or lack thereof. the problem is the way overinflated sense of utility

[mighty helm]

Okay, well sorry. I just figured what’s with the lack of people just posting Google search results in here
My hands get tired of typing sometimes and I thought I can help you all.

[storm patio]

we are not a google replacement

if google can answer the question more adequately, we say so

[azure grove]

@rancid whale @storm patio @copper gust i heavily suggest if you keep talking about this to thread it, its just adding mud to the main chat

[storm patio]

i'm done, it's annoying. i'm going to touch grass

making donuts with how tight circles the convo is going in

[soft canopy]

Where can I go to get help with baked lighting?

[storm patio]

that would be #1390346776804069396

[soft canopy]

ok thank you

[rancid whale]

Sorry to continue,
But you guys literally don’t a lot of times.
And now people keep coming in here asking questions that Google OR the Gemini summary could have perfectly adequately answered.
When if you sent them a search result they would learn for themselves to just Google it next time instead of coming back in here asking shit like that. And wasting YOUR time.
I don’t see a reason to create this pattern. Who benefits from it?

[gusty abyss]

I tried learning the new input system today and using it in a tutorial project that uses the old input system. Worst day of the year

I’m gonna make it work tho. I hope

[fleet canopy]

make a thread if you want to continue (nobody's gonna join it) but you got warned by someone already

[sleek forum]

guys what are some good things to add to a 2d platformer game

[copper gust]

platforms !

[fleet canopy]

a player

[storm patio]

uhhhhh 2d

[sleek forum]

no i already got those

[copper gust]

how many

[sleek forum]

i have the following:

[copper gust]

not enough !

[fleet canopy]

obviously this question depends on your game

we dont know what you;re making

[sleek forum]

traps, activated doors, balancing beams, and moving beams

[rancid whale]

Idk play Cuphead or Dead Cells and do what they did.
Or remix it.
Maybe along the way you’ll come up with other cool ideas.

[sleek forum]

oh im just making one to test my skills

but im running out of ideas on what to add

[gusty abyss]

I got it to work but I mean getting it to rotate properly seems harder to do. Like car movements

[fleet canopy]

bouncy platforms maybe

see what's in your favourite platforming games and try to imitate them

[sleek forum]

oh i dont play platformer games

[rancid whale]

Dead Cells has those in one part

[copper gust]

a lot of the time a bulk of the creativity is in the dynamic mixture of different pieces to create a experience involving both

[azure grove]

give celeste a play for platformer ideas

[sleek forum]

does that cost money?

[fleet canopy]

yes

[sleek forum]

oh i dont have money

[copper gust]

eg. rotating beam + bouncy platform could result in some sick velocity transfer if the player could bounce into a specific angle

[fleet canopy]

watch someone play it maybe

[sleek forum]

bouncy just needs a physics 2d material right?

[azure grove]

each major area kinda adds its own mechanics via the envirements which helps with game flow alot

[copper gust]

try it !

[azure grove]

what you add also heavily depends on your controller as well and what it can do

[sleek forum]

Hi!

[copper gust]

if your broke i would absolutely not suggest pirating super mario brothers for the super nintendo

[sleek forum]

isnt that illegal?

[copper gust]

yes thats why im not suggesting it

[sleek forum]

i already knew.

oh wait bouncy platforms are easy to add

i just need to increase bounciness for my physics material

[exotic relic]

Thanks for the compliment. There is almost no foot sliding yet only using one walk loop because I use high quality animations and have foot ik enabled in the animation settings. Typically people find animations online and they often come with foot sliding already regardless of speed. I aim for motion capture anims.

My zombie script does have attacks and hit reactions, I made it just for fun, I doubt I’ll use it. My real project (in dev logs) is more on the tech side instead lol.

It is like the old input system was simple high level, the new is over complex, syntax heavy, lacking basic things the original had like gravity on digital inputs or touch to mouse conversion. Good luck!!!

How to setup visual studio 2026 with unity 6.3?

[storm patio]

go through the guides, to start. should be at least similar

[ornate dock]

I already downloaded visual studio 2026. But why unity 6.3 says 2022 version needed?

[ornate dock]

I already downloaded visual studio 2026. But why unity 6.3 says 2022 version needed?

Come on man tell me?

[ocean pumice]

Best attitude to get help 😄 Anyways, Unity installs a specific VS version with itself. Where does Unity say, it needs 2022?

Did you follow the (Installed manually) guide?

[slow dirge]

Because vs 2026 is relatively new and is not documented very well by Unity. It seems to be supported though according to the integration package changelogs:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ide.visualstudio@2.0/changelog/CHANGELOG.html

Hello guys, I have a question, is there anywhere where I can look for c# developers (unity developers) like working together on projects etc

like some programming servers have like some type of working-looking-coworking etc channels to look up for teams and people to grow and network

does this server offer any of that?

[modern lynx]

oh got it, thank you

[heady gorge]

question, when it comes to putting together areas (like say a large building, and thats the only place the player goes), do people usually have the entire structure modeled as one thing or create it in several parts to put together?

not really sure how to try building something with several floors

[worldly cave]

If we are talking strictly interior then yeah its typically made up of multiple parts

I guess a general shell/hull for the floor and then individiual assets

[deft rock]

Depends on the way you're going to optimise it so it's not all drawn at once.

Building it separetly so it's modular means you can edit in Unity easier and not have all levels loaded/ drawn

[heady gorge]

thank ye both. they're never actually going to leave the building since its the main setting for that level.

it shall be made in separate parts 🙏

[potent topaz]

They are a bit slow to pick up 2026 but could be assessing the stability. I use VS2026 fine with Unity, however I found a couple of annoying regression bugs from VS2022 which have been reported but I think still waiting a fix. So some reason to avoid, plus 2026 is not much different for Unity though lighter in theory on resources

[potent topaz]

The point is you do not want to draw what the player can not see. But you need to divide up things to do this so like one model per floor. See https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/OcclusionCulling.html

[deft rock]

~~VS2026 is still the "insiders" version, which is a "full" release.. still sorta beta, but not quite release candidate.

Unity won't add it as a download in the Hub until it's properly released~~

[potent topaz]

no it is in full release now

[deft rock]

"Microsoft Insiders" refers to various early-access programs (like Windows Insider, VS Code Insiders, Teams Insiders) where users test pre-release software, get new features daily/weekly, and provide feedback before stable public releases, allowing Microsoft to find bugs and shape products with community input. The "Stable" vs. "Insiders" is the core difference: Stable is the reliable, fully released version, while Insiders is the bleeding-edge, frequently updated, potentially less stable version for early adopters.

It's still called VS Insiders build 🤷‍♂️

[potent topaz]

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2026-is-here-faster-smarter-and-a-hit-with-early-adopters/ That was the end of initial Insiders

There is a separate insiders build - guessing that is just ongoing for early adopters of updates?

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

[deft rock]

heh, googling 'vs 2026' gives me the insiders download page, that ^ one is the 4th result, hidden off screen below the "people also ask"

[potent topaz]

lol I think Google is a mess - second post is Reddit announcing general availability (after Insiders). Stable release (I use) comes after Insider release is confirmed.

[fallen dragon]

So uh i found a way how to multi-edit components without multi edit support..

[deft rock]

debug mode?

[fallen dragon]

no

reordering components in inspector causes it to render properties

even if its not supported

[hidden panther]

what is GUI??

[storm patio]

that reminds me - is the companion ide fixed for each version of unity?
unity 6 offers to install vsc, as it should, but unity 2022 still wants to instal vs for mac (which has been sunsetted)

[storm patio]

https://google.com/search?q=what+is+GUI

[deft rock]

yeah, it's not dynamic installing the latest/ best version available. It's static to whatever IDE was the recommended one at the time of that editor version release

[hidden panther]

I've got an error regarding that where do I ask it?

[deft rock]

#📲┃ui-ux if using UGUI, #🧰┃ui-toolkit if using the newer UITK

[storm patio]

(i redirected)

does it happen after a restart?

[hidden panther]

I saved the project then turn off my pc, I return to reopen my project as usual and those error appear

btw it stopped when I turned off gizmo but now it only show this error
"InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

can anyone teach me?

[charred fog]

!learn See Essential Pathways courses

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[deft rock]

This is a low quality game - the mechanics of this are.. push a button? You barely get to see what the button does before the level ends.

You might get this on Android, but it'll never get on iOS.

[deft rock]

Design spam refers to apps submitted to platforms like the Apple App Store that are duplicates, repackaged versions, or conceptually too similar to existing apps, violating guidelines (like Apple's Guideline 4.3(a)) by cluttering the store with low-quality, non-unique content, often using similar code or templates, and potentially tricking users into downloading them instead of the original.

Possibly became a thing because of Flappy Bird..?

[violet thunder]

Well, does the app store have a bunch of similiar games already?

I don't think it would matter if the sprites were made by you or not, it's more of a game design (not visual design) question it seems

the engine crashes when i change the layout

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I have a problem. Is there a way to somehow pause a coroutine, because I have an animation that is playing and when I pause the game the coroutine doesn't pause

I want the simplest way to do it

I know there is StopCoroutine() and StopAllCoroutines() but there is not a pauseCoroutine method so I am not sure how to pause my coroutine

I was thinking about using a Bool

[near wigeon]

no such thing but you could probably use a while loop with bool inside

depends whats inside tbh you probably can just stop and start coroutine again

this is also an option https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/WaitWhile.html

[sly lake]

A while loop is probably the better idea. Clearer code.

[sly lake]

Or that ^

[graceful pagoda]

Yo everyone, so i am making a 2d racing game with 0 experience. I copied a code for a car off of a YT video, using the 2019 cause i heard it will be easier to learn, and can copy from this video alot.

I used the code, if looks fine, no error messages, but when i go into the game tab, or press play, the car is invisable, and spins uncontrolably. The one time i saw the car it did this:

[boreal river]

There is also another way to actually pause a coroutine just to note and it's a key difference. So, when you have WaitForSecondsRealtime() instead of WaitForSeconds() the coroutine wont be affected by time scale so have it in mind.

I think thats why my coroutine wasn't paused

I dont have to use wait until or wait while or anything

let me test it first

[deft rock]

The sprite renderer componet has an 'order in layer' field, set the car to be higher than the road.

If the car is not spinning in the tutorial, but it is for you.. you haven't done exactly the same as the tutorial.

Also, Unity 2019 isn't easier or harder.. there's not really much difference in difficulty between versions.

[graceful pagoda]

So should i redo the code?

this is what i dont get

It disapears in the game tab

[pearl oyster]

You didn't follow the tutorial properly. Your car Z position is at -10, probably the road's is as well. The tutorial tells you to set them both to 0

Also pick a channel, don't cross-post

[graceful pagoda]

mb didn't know where to put it

i'll try the layer thing now

woo]

thanks

its still spinning

but atleast it shows up

[pearl oyster]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[graceful pagoda]

Thanks @pearl oyster it works!

[near wigeon]

well yeah but you didn't provide that info so I assume you had another way to pause beside Timescale. That only works on timescale dependent things

[graceful pagoda]

That would be a good thing to remember I'm sure, i'll go searching

[near wigeon]

thats probably because you did not install the Tools

[balmy kettle]

make sure the relevant packages are installed then restart the unity editor, and provided you have no compile errors it should suddenly appear

[graceful pagoda]

I didn't instal it, i think it was already on my PC, maybe from a while back

[onyx yacht]

what this Never install anything from the internet if you haven't read the scripts inside, but this is updated unity-hub beta package.

The issue is that both versions of the unity-hub in arch repositories are outdated

[near wigeon]

yeah you most likely need the Unity workload if you installed it before unity

Unity workload, is that just a download off of Google and it shows up, or is there more too it?

its part of the instructions sent to you, its in VS installer

restart unity after you install those

[balmy kettle]

why are you using enterprise

[graceful pagoda]

Not a clue, it was what was on my PC

[worldly cave]

is there any particular way to refactor existing camera systems to now use cinemachine or should i just grab the documentation/api and go top to bottom?

🤔

[near wigeon]

depends what you need from cinemachine

[graceful pagoda]

Should i be using something else? When i tried to download a version it said something like "you already have installed version", so i checked and enterprice was on my PC already

This maybe?

[balmy kettle]

well unless you have some reason to purchase an enterprise license you should install the community version

[near wigeon]

unless you're making big money with your projects, do this ^

[graceful pagoda]

Community Version of Visual Studio

[worldly cave]

honestly dont know yet, i think ill definetely need the noise profiles and impulse stuff later on, i just want to get this done when its still manageable

[graceful pagoda]

Then do i need to redo the code and put it into Unity, or does it not do anything like that?

[near wigeon]

IME its pretty easy to integrate cinemachine, it doesnt replace camera component it simply "drives it"

[near wigeon]

code has nothing to do with which program you use

they are just text files

[worldly cave]

alright ill look up some tutorials on using it in general and start from there

thanks

[near wigeon]

unity has pretty good new series on CM on YT check it out

[onyx yacht]

what pinned message

@charred fog

[gray frigate]

If you already have a system to control your camera, you can just have it pose a CinemachineCamera instead of a real Camera

[gray frigate]

the cinemachine camera can be set to not try to move or rotate itself

[worldly cave]

yeah i got that and a whole lot more

[gray frigate]

so it's easy to swap in

[worldly cave]

i got recoil systems, procedural animation for the camera etc.

[onyx yacht]

ok in see it

[worldly cave]

thats why i was concerned initially

[gray frigate]

Those things can be adapted to a Cinemachine extension, if you want (either one you write by hand, or just a CinemachineRecomposer that you control via a script)

[near wigeon]

also if I were you I'd test other Unity versions / project type to isolate problem further

[onyx yacht]

ok

[near wigeon]

but its always a gamble when not using officially tested distros

[onyx yacht]

ok

[gray frigate]

This would be a good idea if you wanted to mix and match the camera behaviors

[onyx yacht]

should i try Unity 6

but it wouldn't be life-changing :p

why does the game have the tag 1990s

It's a reimagining of an old game from the era, called Zuma.

[fervent shadow]

10 bucks max (aud)

[fervent shadow]

oh i see

[sly lake]

Zuma is from the 90s?

[fervent shadow]

its nostagic though like the tag

for some

[potent geyser]

Probably not, or early 2000s, but the original concept likely was. We just wanted a nostalgic tag.

[fervent shadow]

i see. Are you SUGAMU?

[potent geyser]

Yep, but we're going to likely change the name.

[fervent shadow]

ok cool cool i will wishlist the game

[keen sundial]

Hello lovely people!!! What are you guys doing??

[fervent shadow]

wishlisting jollyroll

[fervent shadow]

@potent geyser what will you do if your game ever gets pirated? I was just thinking about this for my own game.

[worldly cave]

if your game gets pirated the best thing to do is nothing

[vivid river]

Its a sign that the game is good enough to be pirated

[worldly cave]

its also good marketing surprisingly

[sly lake]

If you make an online game, anti piracy measures are a must. Otherwise, it's only worth bothering with at AAA sales numbers.

And even then only for the first two months IIRC

[worldly cave]

i feel like if your game is an online game then piracy becomes inherently more difficult unless theres a way to host servers manually?

[sly lake]

It's not inherent. Still need to do verification.

[worldly cave]

yeah i mean of course

but its a different story compared to single player games

or rather "offline" games

the only way to reduce piracy is to add value pirates cant really get

[exotic relic]

Depends on the game. This isn’t a topic we should have here, but remember that Unity games can be edited quite easily. Even converted to a project after compilation.

Yes having multiplayer callbacks is helpful. But if you can edit the code then you can just change the return functions to say true that the auth is valid

[sly lake]

Doesn't really matter if the server code isn't in the client.

They could start private servers but at that point it's not your problem anymore.

[worldly cave]

a quick list of what im imagining here is:

-> Automatic updates & bug fixes
-> Cloud saves
-> Workshop/mod support
-> Online features (leaderboards, co-op, events)
-> Achievements & stat tracking

at that point a lot of people will choose to buy rather than pirate to simply avoid the friction here

[exotic relic]

Pretty much yes. Shouldn’t worry about it besides making sure sensitive data is hidden

[worldly cave]

if your game is fun and worth buying people will typically buy it, most piracy comes from people who simply would have never paid for your game regardless

[exotic relic]

For me since my games are multiplayer I forward the data to a server through Node.js to verify it with server code before uploading it to databases

Keeping your game updated is a simple method. Even if you are just organizing functions

[fervent shadow]

or for single player games you can have a sign in or verification process but non pirates wouldn't approve of it and piraters would probably easily crakc it

[worldly cave]

thats called drm

and its the most effective way to get people to never look at your game again

especially as an indie

drm only harms people who pay for your game

[fervent shadow]

? wdym

thats not good though

[worldly cave]

no shit lol

[fervent shadow]

but then the fee to upload your game to steam will be worth nothing if the majourity of your players are just getting it for free

lol i knew some games that had drm, no fun

[worldly cave]

heres the hard truth

for 80% of all games on steam, that fee was never earned back

[fervent shadow]

ouch

thats sad, i mean its even likely that its higher than 80% tho

[mild radish]

according to 2025 stats its more like "over 40%"

but the point still stands

[worldly cave]

i think thats on an annual basis no?

i think in total its closer to 80 but i cant remember where i saw that figure

[mild radish]

GamesRadar+

is the source

[mild radish]

ya like i said.. ur point is still valid

a good portion les say

[mild radish]

quote "Market Saturation" being a root cause

[worldly cave]

more like poop and butt saturation, half the games on steam are straight garbage that costs too much

shovelware is still alive and well

[fervent shadow]

thats why you gotta make good games

or just put it on another platform atp

[worldly cave]

its not really about being a good or bad game

its about effort

you can tell

[fervent shadow]

about games being successful do you think my game about escaping epstiens island as a victim be good?

[mild radish]

don't chase trends..

make something u feel passion about

[fervent shadow]

I do tho, escpaing an island story game is what im passsionate about but the epstien stuff is just for the trends and attraction

[mild radish]

lmao

alrighty then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fervent shadow]

and theres no game out there on steam thats like this

except the island rip off game called epstien but its not abt epstien

[mild radish]

if you do something like that you could capitalize on the entire genre..
"Island Escape" and then just have a "Map" or portion of it as ur Epstein crap 😄

that way it appeals to more than just that group of ppl

[fervent shadow]

oh ye i had to think about this to not get in legal trouble

what?...

i am marius

[worldly cave]

i know there is a way to host it manually.

wasnt the point though.

[near wigeon]

did you use onedrive?

[fervent shadow]

search up a cmd command that does it

[mild radish]

is it b/c u have the editor open?

[fervent shadow]

to transfer ownership it always work for me

[mild radish]

and actively using that folder

[polar basalt]

nope this is in assets folder

[polar basalt]

closed it beforehand

[storm sierra]

Sorry I thought you wanted help on fighting people who abuse issues in a game

[polar basalt]

ill do a pc restart ig

[worldly cave]

oo you just gave me a fantastic idea

[fervent shadow]

try opening cmd and transfering ownership with a command but just open cmd with admin this is what i use when i get this.

[worldly cave]

something related at least

[mild radish]

you can try manually deleting it w/ CMD

[mild radish]

niiice 👍 great movies, btw

[polar basalt]

nope, some process from unity or smth was just holding down to the folder even tho i closed

i just restarted and its all okay

[polar basalt]

too late haha

[mild radish]

ok i was gonna suggest a restart but who wants to do that all the time

[polar basalt]

i needed to restart anyways but its weird that i need admin when im admin

[polar basalt]

its been like 10 hours

oh wait actually only 5

but yeah

[fervent shadow]

if you ever need to find what program is stopping you from closing or deleting a program open resmon.exe in run and search for it in cpu handles i think it is, havent done this in a long time

[polar basalt]

oo okeoke

Hi guys,

I’m looking for some guidance about game development and how professional game developers usually work.

When I first started with Unity, I thought I could do everything by myself and that making a mobile game would be easy. But I quickly realized it’s not just about coding. My game needs a lot of 3D content, and I’m not an artist, so I can’t create all of that on my own.

Hiring artists is also difficult for me right now, since the total cost can easily reach around $3000 for all the assets, which I can’t afford before publishing the game.

So I wanted to ask: how do you guys handle this situation?
What do you usually do when you don’t have the budget for artists?
Any advice or experience would really help.

[worldly cave]

if you dont have the budget for artists you have 2 options:
learn to do the art yourself
buy assets.

[mild radish]

im a one-man show..

i learned the basics of every field necessary

[worldly cave]

also a lot of indie devs are artists turned programmers

[mild radish]

very true

if u want you can still build out the game as you learn or practice ur art/modelling

you don't need art at all in order to build.. you can use primitives.. cubes/spheres/etc

also that trains you to keep ur logic and art seperate.. making it simple to change it out when needed

[worldly cave]

the highest selling and arguably most popular game of all time was built using programmer art

and a shit ton of reused assets from past projects

[vivid river]

What is programmer art

[mild radish]

art made w/ code 😉

[merry iron]

I can't find asset like these but if I want to lrean 3d art how match time need to create some 3d building like that ???

[mild radish]

w/ the texturing and all you can probably do one of those dioramas in about a week

hard surface modelling is what that is...

[vivid river]

How? like Minecraft programmer art textures?

[mild radish]

i think Minecraft was what he's referring to ya..

[worldly cave]

No***

[merry iron]

Really ? sound easy

[worldly cave]

programmer art is just art made by a programmer and not a dedicated artist

[vivid river]

oh

[mild radish]

for something like that its just

• Extrude
• Scale
• Inset

[worldly cave]

its typically placeholder art but sometimes not

like in the case of minecraft

altough i think most of the original textures have long been replaced

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer_art oh wow look at that, it has its own wikipedia page

thats rare

[vivid river]

yeah, "programmer's art" its an optional texture pack along with base game, that's just the old textures made by Notch himself

[merry iron]

Thanks I really appreciate all your advice

[mild radish]

yup.. it really is..

[worldly cave]

bro made a do-dad

[mild radish]

lol.. hard-surface do-dad..

rinse and repeat = bigger building sized do-dad

[worldly cave]

add greebles for extra effect

[modest meteor]

first you have to spend a year or multiple learning blender, though

[worldly cave]

a year? lol you can get pretty good in like a months time

people sometimes greatly overestimate how hard it is to learn

[modest meteor]

for a single piece of the example scene he gave, yeah. but not the entire thing, if he's never done any 3d modelling before

[merry iron]

honestly I hate blender but I do see any other option

[modest meteor]

the hate probably comes from lack of understanding it. if you want to become a 3d artist, you are gonna need to learn it 😋

[merry iron]

*do not

[fervent shadow]

free 3d content or make it, making it is always better and more fun

you can always, if you wanna go down that path is to use ai

[merry iron]

Agree it least I can update the model any time I want

[fervent shadow]

yup so many more perks to it as well.

[flat breach]

hello, is using a .mov transparent video good if I want to synchronise a certain action in my game?

[near wigeon]

what does transparancy have to do with an action

[flat breach]

I'd make a video of a character killing the player(jumpscare) and instead of making a timeline that I'd move accordingly to the player, I'd play the video and the player could still see the game world at the same time

[worldly cave]

it would have to be pretty uncompressed otherwise it would look noticably bad

[near wigeon]

yeah a video playing over screen for a jumpscare sounds kinda awful

might need to look into timeline/signals unless you need to do it based on time since play

[flat breach]

oh ok

[worldly cave]

and then you run in the issue of size

uncompressed videos are massive

even a couple of seconds can be a couple of gigabytes

[gray frigate]

why would it?

[flat breach]

let's say I make a timeline for a character running some meters forward towards the player, how to make it play accordingly in multiple positions in my game? like let's say I'd want it to play not at a precise time and in 2 different rooms or basically when I call a function it should play accordingly to the player knowing the player moves?

[worldly cave]

because compressed videos are pretty noticable in comparison to a game which is entirely realtime

thats why you can always tell when a cutscene is a video file vs real time

because it has to be compressed if its a video file

[gray frigate]

it should look fine with a good enough bitrate, especially if it's a brief thing

[flat breach]

I thought about creating the timeline animating the character and a camera and just childing these under a gameobject that I'd be moving but it's kinda weird

[worldly cave]

you would think, and i actually tinkered around with something similliar but for my blender project and even at low compression and high bitrate its noticable

[flat breach]

is that like a really big issue?

[near wigeon]

so you want both effects in 2 rooms, not sure what you mean there

[worldly cave]

depends on how many videos you have but yes

heres a 12 minute video i made for youtube, i rendered it as almost entirely uncompressed for the highest possible quality when uploading

[flat breach]

I'll make a timeline animating 2 GameObjects, a camera and a character, let's say you play this timeline, you'll see the character running towards you, in my case my player(which has a child camera which should have the same position as the animated camera) will be moving and I'd like the timeline to play accordingly to him, so wherever the player is and I play the timeline you'll see the same timeline but at a different position in scene

an easier example: you make a timeline in a room of your game, how to make this same timeline getting played in another place?

[near wigeon]

when you say timeline you mean the actual timeline asset yes

[flat breach]

I'll have only one

[flat breach]

yes

[flat breach]

ohh yea lol 47gb is really big 🤣

[near wigeon]

yes you can also use Signals to trigger specific actions in code, you don't have to necessarily make everything a timeline animation

[flat breach]

I don't know what are signals in this case but I'll look Unity's yt tutorial on this thank you ❤️

[north apex]

Resources or StreamingAssets? Whic would be good for getting the value by code?

[balmy kettle]

well Resources is not great, and StreamingAssets is just a folder that dumps your raw assets into the build from.
is this going to be the whole json thing again where the correct solution is going to be suggested but you ignore it?

[north apex]

um... ok so what is the correct solution?

[balmy kettle]

that depends on what the actual goal here is

[north apex]

there should be basic items, which are hardcoded, and user generated objects which would be json files, and a link to a dropbox or something for the assets.

idk if they can be in the same spot or not

[balmy kettle]

well your "basic items" should really just be scriptable objects
then you can designate whatever path you want either in your build directory or persistentDataPath to load your mods from and deserialize the json from those mods to your scriptable object type

[flat breach]

what does this error mean?

[balmy kettle]

but of course i've already been over this with you so i'm not going to go over it again so i'm out

[north apex]

they are scriptable objects now

[balmy kettle]

then why would you need resources or streaming assets? resources is not accessible outside of the build, and streaming assets is meant for assets from the editor to be dumped directly into the build folder. so if this is purely about loading user generated content, then i will say one more time "you can designate whatever path you want either in your build directory or persistentDataPath to load your mods from"

the build directory is dataPath and persistentDataPath (at least on Windows) is in a persistent AppData folder. both of these locations are accessible to put data into by users

[north apex]

the build directory is Resources, right?

[near wigeon]

I use streamingassets mainly to keep raw shell scripts to run or other utils outside of unity I need.. Everything else I'd use the PersDataPath (like loading / saving files)
ofc you can obtain any folder path if you use something like a asset for File explorer / file selector

[balmy kettle]

no. did you not just read what i said?

[near wigeon]

Resources is just a giant file

thats another reason its slow if you have too much loading from it

[balmy kettle]

i literally just said "the build directory is dataPath" as in Application.dataPath.

[north apex]

oh

[balmy kettle]

and to read/write files from/to it from within your build you would use the normal System.IO stuff, just like you would with streaming assets

[north apex]

ok so i use dataPath for anything in my project. So my main question is where should I put the game's files? Like models, prefabs, textures, sounds, etc? Or does it matter?

[balmy kettle]

so i use dataPath for anything in my project
NO. what is not clear about this? I am purely referring to loading outside resources, as in user generated content.
Your own stuff does not need to be referenced this way because you have direct control over it already

[north apex]

oh yeah with the editor and setting game objects

i'm not talking about user generated content atm

well not anymore

[balmy kettle]

great then i'm done here because i don't plan to rehash a discussion you mostly ignored last time

[north apex]

i didn't ignore

im somewhat forgetful about some things

[gray frigate]

note that the game can't load a folder full of PNGs and FBXs at runtime

well, it can load some files

okay, that was a bad example, because both of those have runtime loaders

how complicated would this user-generated content be?

[north apex]

not too complicated, a json file with connected classes might be enough

[gray frigate]

the "proper" way to do this would be to give people an SDK that lets them build the content in Unity

they would export an AssetBundle, and your game would load the bundle

this makes user-generated content work identically to stuff that ships with your game

[north apex]

Alright, imma research AssetBundles

so major question: should I have anything in the "Resources" folder?

[gray frigate]

use the Resources directory if you need to be able to find an asset without assigning a reference in the inspector

This is useful in some situations

[balmy kettle]

ideally you wouldn't use resources at all. even unity recommends against it if you have the option to avoid it

[gray frigate]

for example, if you use [RuntimeInitializeOnLoad] to execute code when the game starts, you can't really reference anything

unity is just running a bit of C#; no Unity objects are involved at all

[near wigeon]

if its just a json with some stats why not just a file picker and convert the json into your predefined classes / struct stats to process

[gray frigate]

Resources has two problems:

• All assets in a Resources folder are included in the built game, because Unity has no way to know if they're needed or not
• If you rename an asset in the Resources folder, you have to make sure to fix the names in your code

[gray frigate]

This is reasonable if the items are simple enough

if you don't need to be able to configure things in the inspector in Unity, then it's perfectly fine

you'll just have to deal with bundling the config file with the images/etc.

JSON is nice because it's human-readable and easy to edit

AssetBundles let you do anything that you can do in the editor. Other formats require you to write code to turn that data into unity objects

[near wigeon]

if its simple enough like adding images n all the asset I used supported multiple files then you can just piece it together in code yourself by each file type

the benefit of this is someone could even do it on their phone or something

[north apex]

i'm ok with code making objects and stuff with code if it doesn't get to wild, i am kinda doing that already by loading a slot prefab and stuff.

the handbook adds items to a vertical layout group

[worldly cave]

Anybody ever have a bug where hovering over your editor with your mouse causes your entire screen to flicker lol?

I assumed it might have been a gpu issue but i think it might be something to do with unitys UI

because suprisingly it doesnt happen in the scene or game view, only the actual editor ui

[near wigeon]

nahh could be ur gpu tho

[worldly cave]

well i checked all contacts and reinstalled drivers and ran a benchmark.

so idk lol, its only happening with unity and only with the ui itself

[near wigeon]

maybe try another DX version ?

i think now it defaults to 12?

[balmy kettle]

what version of the editor are you using? i have experienced this in one of the 6.4 betas when working with vfx graph (at least it didn't start until i started using vfx graph and would persist until i restarted)

[north apex]

wait... if using resources is discouraged, why does this look so clean and perfect?
ItemSO[] itemSOs = Resources.LoadAll<ItemSO>("Objects/ScriptableObjects");

[worldly cave]

6000.2.6f2

[near wigeon]

this isn't as clean as having them directly in array / inspector

[balmy kettle]

just because something looks "clean and perfect" doesn't mean it's good. for example BinaryFormatter looks "clean and perfect" but opens you up to malicious code execution

[near wigeon]

and the more you start adding to Resources, the slower the lookup is, another reason its discouraged

[worldly cave]

ill try deleting my library

and see if that does anything

[balmy kettle]

consider updating if you're still on .6 as well
there were several UI related issues that were fixed in later patches

[near wigeon]

Addressables is alternative and is faster because uses addresses/ path instead of a giant DB file

[worldly cave]

ill try, honestly im just hoping to god its not my gpu lol

[near wigeon]

yikes those versions are trash

[worldly cave]

yeah i havent updated in a while

[near wigeon]

6.0 is still king

[worldly cave]

ill update the editor and reset the library folder

istg if its my gpu with the prices these days i might be fucked 💀

hilariously this would also be the 2nd time i would need to send this exact gpu back with warranty

when i first bought it 2 of the 3 fans didnt work, so i got a new one and now im seeing this after 3 months of no accidents 😔

[sly lake]

If you use a graphics API wrong enough you can even turn the taskbar magenta

[near wigeon]

I was saying earlier, test it with DX11 and see if issue persist

[sly lake]

So even if it’s the whole screen, it’s probably still Unity

[worldly cave]

ill try that too

[near wigeon]

gotta say its pretty flawless on Metal

[worldly cave]

yeah considering its the ui and not the scene/game view i think its certainly unity

like the scene/game view are the most gpu-intensive parts of the editor

[sly lake]

In my experience it’s the opposite of flawless on Metal

[gray frigate]

This can be a problem if each of those ItemSO assets cause other assets to load

[north apex]

an item array? Wouldnn't that get tedious as heck to manage?

[gray frigate]

imagine loading 1000 items that all have models and sounds and textures

[gray frigate]

it's exactly equivalent, assuming you don't forget to assign all of your assets

plus or minus some very tiny cost to use Resources.LoadAll

[north apex]

but yeah i'll look at addressables and asset bundles

[balmy kettle]

not necessarily, you can write some editor tools that make putting it all together at edit time incredibly easy

[gray frigate]

The correct approach for large amounts of assets is to only load the assets when they're actually needed

[near wigeon]

typo/change the names and everything breaks :\

[gray frigate]

only if you rename the directory

i consider directory names to be more stable than individual asset names

[near wigeon]

directory probably yes

but you never know.. why not be safe and you can move files without issue

[gray frigate]

most of my own Resources assets have names that match one of my classes

e.g.

_instance = Resources.Load<T>("SingletonSO" + "/" + typeof(T).Name);

[north apex]

someone in a post mentioned addressables was very buggy, is this still true?

am researching

[gray frigate]

people say that everything is an unusuably buggy mess 😉

[oak meadow]

I have a script that logs the location some objects but the location it logs is different than the position in the editor and im pretty sure its not the code thats the problem

The bottom log is the object thats selected

[balmy kettle]

keep in mind that the position you see in the inspector is its localPosition, not the world space position that transform.position returns

[gray frigate]

The position you see in the inspector is the local position of the Transform

that is, its position relative to its parent

[oak meadow]

oh

[gray frigate]

the parent's position, rotation, and scale all affect the meaning of your local position

[near wigeon]

"im this far from parent"

[oak meadow]

but the z axis is still weird because all my objects have different z axis

[sly lake]

Worked fine in my experience.

[oak meadow]

and my navmesh is just z = 0 is this the rotation causing it? my rotation on my parent object is -90

[near wigeon]

weird in what way

[oak meadow]

well some objects z is = 30 and others is -16

just random numbers

[gray frigate]

a 90 degree rotation will swap two of your axes

(well, some 90 degree rotations will, at least)

so even if all of your objects have the same world-space Z position, they might have different local-space Z positions

[oak meadow]

okay thanks

[gray frigate]

If the parent object has no meaningful presence in the world – that is, it's just a "container" – I'd reset its Transform

so, zero position, zero rotation, one scale

of cousre, if you have a bunch of objects attached to it, they'll now be in the wrong place :p

you can unparent them, fix the parent, and reparent them

[oak meadow]

all of its reset except the -90 on the x axis it doesn't work without it if i spawn an object in a certain position then parent it to that object will it move? do i have to account for that?

[gray frigate]

Parenting an object will, by default, preserve its world position/rotation/scale

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.SetParent.html

that is, if you do it with SetParent

setting the .parent property does not preserve anything

[oak meadow]

oh good to know yeah i'm using set parent my navmesh agents were getting set to a negative z so i couldn't see them i didn't know if this was a similar problem

[dense timber]

Are there any good tutorial series for top down pixel games??

[exotic relic]

Not specifically because it is just a camera angle, its no different from 3D

put the camera on top of the player and make it face down

[dense timber]

Okay I’ll do more research, thank you!

[exotic relic]

but facing down could depend on angles too.. whether your game is horizontal or vertical

[near wigeon]

learn the basics it doesn't matter what game type you make

[exotic relic]

if you know how to do one thing itll click in your brain how to do another

[near wigeon]

you'll be using the same systems / code

how you use them changes

[dense timber]

Any good recs for basics/foundations of game design. I am currently an architect looking to pick this up as a hobby.

just don’t know where to get started

[near wigeon]

[exotic relic]

You could look on youtube for tutorials on how to make little things such as cookie clicker, flappy bird, 2D character movement. You should be able to catch on to whats happening.

[dense timber]

Thanks again

[north apex]

would i add every asset to the addressables group?

[worldly cave]

@balmy kettle@near wigeon updating the editor fixed it, thanks

[near wigeon]

go through the tutorials / docs for it. &
https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/addressables-planning-and-best-practices

[north apex]

thanks ^^

[fair cove]

I would suggest "Extra Credits" and "Game Makers Toolkit", they are both more video essays on game design topics rather than a structured online course, but they may cover topics thatll give you a starting point to research further, theres also "Indie Game Clinic" which I think is pretty good at covering game design topics from a different educational angle

[north apex]

If i am understading this right, i can add a gameobject to an addressable and it auto fetches the default materials too? I'd only have to add things like skins (as non game objects)?

[plain dagger]

When you add an asset to an addressable group so it has an address its dependencies are automatically pulled into the same group

These dependencies can be explicitly added to other groups if you want and should be done if you want to prevent duplicates (because unity can duplicate implicit additions in many groups)

[dense timber]

Appreciate it will check it out

[plain dagger]

The addressable docs explain this concept and they provide tools in editor to help fix this. Ask for help later in #📦┃addressables @north apex

[north apex]

oh there's a channel for that, alright

[plain dagger]

I am often the one to help over there but yes there is a specific channel

[glass depot]

Is it worth going through the headache of getting cinemachine to work for my fps game

Theres alot of movement so i want the camera to actually feel nice but idk if its easier to raw code it or set up cinemachine

[worldly cave]

speaking as someone who litterally just refactored my code to work with cinemachine...

yes

but it also depends on what you are hoping to accomplish with it

[warped vector]

Is this URL down for anyone else?

I can't install Unity on Linux at the moment because the signature key site is apparently down

[spare bobcat]

hdrp lights not working i need HELP

[potent geyser]

Please don't bait people for help, just ask a question.

[spare bobcat]

ok so i made a brand new hdrp project and wanted to put light in it, noticed nothing was happening and i assume its because i need to bake the lighting first, but idk how to do that

[potent geyser]

Lights can be either real time, baked or both. You don't have to bake lights for them to work (unless in cases such as Area Lights for URP projects)

[spare bobcat]

ok but real time doesnt show me anything in the scene

maybe the warning in the inspector is already telling me whats causing this

[potent geyser]

Could be anything from too small a light, badly placed and why are you using an area light for this? A point light seems more appropriate if you want it to shine in all directions from that point.

[spare bobcat]

doesnt the circle represent how big the light will be ?

so it cant be because its too small

[potent geyser]

No

You're confusing that with a point light

[vagrant widget]

Could someone clear up a doubt I have about something I couldn't find on YouTube?

[worldly cave]

you can just ask

[spare bobcat]

ok but you really didnt provide me with anything i could work with, like i tested it now and its not because of the size, its literally the standard size and the position is on the ground, sry but im still confused

[warped vector]

Could someone check whether they are able to pull the public signing key from https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/keys/public.key ? I'd like to know if it's just my network.

[vagrant widget]

¿?

[potent geyser]

If you're area light is on the ground, you're not going to see lights. You're covering it.

[spare bobcat]

switched to point light, same thing,

[potent geyser]

https://learn.unity.com/course/snaps-prototypes-related-tutorials/tutorial/hdrp-area-lights

[worldly cave]

dont think its you, its down

[spare bobcat]

thx but i dont think you understand what my problem is, none of the lights in unity work for me no matter what i do, there is no light being emitted

[warped vector]

I just had to re-install my OS since I changed drives, guess no Unity for me today 🤷

[gusty abyss]

I’m going crazy trying to make a good car movement in the new input system as a beginner I think I’m just gonna follow what the tutorial does in the old method. All the other tutorials I watch are either for just moving side to side and forward no rotation or the one I thought was gonna teach me just went like: Ok so now that’s we’ve coded this for 20 minutes all you need is the hundreds of line of script I already had made and thought you how to use in other tutorials (that I obviously didn’t watch) and they also use other coding languages

[vagrant widget]

I think they're too busy to answer my question. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[potent geyser]

You never asked one

[spare bobcat]

bro is guilt tripping aint no way

[vagrant widget]

Does anyone know how animated cutscenes or intros or whatever they're called are made for game development?

[warped vector]

Big topic

[vagrant widget]

Since I'm making my first game, I'd at least like to know how to do that.

[potent geyser]

1. Pre rendered outside of unity and made a movie

2. Real time by using custom animations and tools such as cinemachine and timeline in Unity

[warped vector]

Look into Timeline system maybe?

Yeah

[lament adder]

Hey everyone. I have a unity repo from an instructor that i need to copy to my own repo in github. Anyone know what steps i should be following?

[near wigeon]

Timeline package is good

[near wigeon]

just fork it?

[vagrant widget]

I've seen everything I need to do in Unity, but they still haven't told me how to create the cutscenes to tell the game's story. That's what I want to know. Do you know how to make the animations or shorts? I'm asking because I'm making a 2D game.

[near wigeon]

or just download it locally and upload it to yourself 🤷‍♂️

[near wigeon]

learn the tools and make stuff move

[vagrant widget]

Hmm, and how do I do that?

[warped vector]

The world is your oyster

[near wigeon]

by learning the tools, look them up follow videos, docs etc. Practices makes good

just like learning anything else in life

[vagrant widget]

Hmm, I still have more doubts.

[rancid whale]

What does input have to do with it?
Once you are able to read some inputs, X Y mouse delta or GamePad whatever, there’s no difference

[plain dagger]

haha ive said the same thing many times on this server 😐

[rancid whale]

Anything decent will probably involve the Physics system, like Rigidbodies, which aren’t too tricky to get up & running.
Tuning and making something that’s actually enjoyable, well…

[gusty abyss]

Idk he just did a really complicated method using multiple languages and yeah I don’t know that stuff i didn’t know that you had to learn some of the basics of the old one for it

[rancid whale]

I get the first part. But the whole “old input system” thing .. it’s just a different way to get inputs, nothing is different about how you use them after

[gusty abyss]

I just tried learning it with no base maybe thats why im having such a hard time

[median roost]

i'm trying to use the renderTexture method to make my game apear pixelated, but i keep having this text on screen even tho it seems to be working anyone knows a fix?

[rancid whale]

If you want I can run you through the basics of input with the new system. It’s one of those “get set up once & re-use forever” kinda things
Of course that changes depending on project’s needs but

[near wigeon]

click 3 dots and uncheck "Warn if No Cameras bla bla.."

on gameview

[gusty abyss]

I mean I’m doing the unity pathways but it’s using the old input syste. (EDIT FOR A CAR)so I was like ok I’m gonna make the car system myself by looking up how to use the new input system but I don’t think that’s possible

[median roost]

thanks!

[rancid whale]

@gusty abyss here's a little chart about ForceMode, save it for later 🙂
I can guarantee you will need to familiarize yourself with the Physics system to build anything like that.

[rancid whale]

Well once you have input sorted, you can follow any tutorial.
Usually for PC you need like, key press / key held, mouse delta (how far the mouse moved in X and Y this frame)
For a GamePad is a little different

[lament adder]

I need to do this but dont really know how. Could you help a little further?
I clone the repo with github desktop
remove the repo from github desktop
try to create a new repo but it connects to the same repo i copied from instead of creating a new repo

[rancid whale]

I mean I'm here to help if you want the help. It's surprisingly chill but I know how u feel. I suffered to get the hang of it at first, and many tutorials online didn't explain it to a proper depth

[rancid whale]

What?

[near wigeon]

connect the same repo what do you mean, didn't you say you want a copy?

[gusty abyss]

Thank you but if you explain now I won’t get it. I need to go through the pathways maybe do other stuff too in a little tired and lost after trying to learn the input system not understanding anything

[plain dagger]
