Depend on the concept (gameplay/fun) and polishing.

[sly lake]

What's it supposed to look like? What isn't showing?

[odd wind]

this is what its supposed to show

[desert kindle]

is it looks good on editor playmode?

[sly lake]

Is the background a UGUI / Canvas element as well?

[lapis gate]

Two ways about, increase the window size inside of itchio, or set your anchors on the canvas to scale with resolution

[desert kindle]

Try this in Player Settings

[odd wind]

omg, the default resolution was apparently 960 600

is the pwa needed as well or is default fine?

[desert kindle]

naah its on you,its not related to resolution

[odd wind]

i mean, i guess its better, but now its too big for the page/screen XD

[desert kindle]

set the resolution accordingly, go with 1280x1024

[odd wind]

now its more of a square

[desert kindle]

show me your canvas properties

[desert kindle]

Here is the problem

use it

after this set all the UI elements back to there size manually

[odd wind]

and im guessing i should set the resolution in player settings back to 1920 1080 as well?

[desert kindle]

thats was not a proper solution, but okay if you feel good with that

[odd wind]

its back to being too big for the screen again

[desert kindle]

set the canvas scaler and then set the each UI element to the proper size.

[keen spindle]

Ho guys

Hi guys

[deft rock]

Your buttons will still probably be off screen, it's most likely that you have them anchored to the middle. The middle doesn't move for different screen sizes. You need to change the anhors to be at the sides/ corners

[keen spindle]

Im new to this unity server

[deft rock]

we can see, the little leaf icon tells us

[keen spindle]

Wdym

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called hi.

[keen spindle]

But I can't see it though

[deft rock]

!nohi

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called nohi.

[inland river]

you're also supposed to say meaningful stuff, not just "hi", this aint a social server

[keen spindle]

Ok sorry

[charred fog]

@keen spindle Let's not spam images or go into off-topic. Do you have a Unity related question?

[keen spindle]

Okay I'm sorry

[keen spindle]

I wanted to know how to make good videos and edit it on phone I'm new to youtube

[deft rock]

this is a Unity server

[inland river]

this ain't a youtube server

[keen spindle]

Ok I'll leave

Bye bye

[hushed wigeon]

yo

[odd wind]

do i just need to do it for the MainMenuStart? because i cant do it for the ones that are in that parent

[deft rock]

You do it for everything that needs aligning. I assume you can't do it for the children because there's a layout group on MainMenuStar? In which case the children will auto move with it, because the parent is controlling their alignment

[odd wind]

this is what i have on it

[deft rock]

I wouldn't stretch that, it's not needed

[odd wind]

well if i set it all to 0 this happens

[deft rock]

I'd say it's probably a good idea if you did some UI lessons on !learn 👇

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[desert kindle]

best practices is to set each UI element properly (size, anchors)

[odd wind]

im stupid, i can just resize the image 🤦

[desert kindle]

there is no voice channels to fix it faster.

[deft rock]

The image should be set to stretch, with the fields set to 0,0,0,0 so it auto resizes depending on screenshize.

The MainMenuStar should be anchored to (probably) top left corner, and not stretched.

[desert kindle]

Let me help you step by step

set the elements screen placements anchors as per your design.

[odd wind]

i still need to zoom out to get it all on the screen

[deft rock]

that's just the scale for the view area in the game view, it doesn't matter for what's rendered

[desert kindle]

is there anyone who can help me with Netcode for gameobjects multiplayer, i am making multiplayer game almost done stuck in the last section.😭 , the enemy devil have to pick the survivor on knockout, i dont know how to set the bones placements while the devil is picking and holding the knocked survivor. i can do the multiplayer part i just need help to set the bones placement for picking the player

Thanks @deft rock

[south pawn]

Anyone here encountered this error before,my project wants to boot up into safe mode after updating my networking libraries version but the devs confirmed on their end that the problem is on my end

[radiant pewter]

any idea what the issue is? this used to be so simple in previous versions 😭

nvm I'm dumb

I hate string lookups

the scene name doesn't have the underscore lol

[cyan lion]

i want to make a pickup system which picks items by showing an animation of the hand picking up the item and then looking the way a hand holding items look in a first person game

it should be able to pick multiple items and each item should fit in his palm else he wont pick it

i have seen pickup animations in pubg and that is not what i want i want the hand to actually grab the items

How do i do it?

[worldly cave]

Start of by breaking it down into multiple smaller problems first

Actually first abstract the concept as much as you can down to its mvp

Then break that down into smaller individual problems

[shadow heron]

If I am going to have multiple playable characters should I have prefab variants of the parent prefab?

[worldly cave]

Can you clarify a bit more?

[cyan lion]

I can do that but what about the bone of players hand moving towards an item and then getting back holding the item

I think it would involve animation systems

[shadow heron]

In my game you play as a ball and I want to add different balls you can play as that have different abilities.

[worldly cave]

That comes later, think of the basics first

[worldly cave]

Right?

[cyan lion]

Can you give an example of what constitutes basics

[worldly cave]

I mean you came up with the concept, you should be able to derive its mvp

[worldly cave]

So are your abilities going to be seperate scripts?

[shadow heron]

Yes

[worldly cave]

Right so im confused what you are asking because it seems pretty straight forward no?

Each prefab would have your base controller/player script and then additional "ability" scripts no?

[storm sierra]

At what point can a person say they understand unity at a higher level?

[latent edge]

is there any was to sort of drag an object in scene view like how you would if you drag an object from the assets into the scene

[tall hearth]

I think this depends on what you mean by "higher level" since the difference between a noob that's never opened the game and one that has 5 hours making a game exactly from a tutorial is that of a "higher level"

What im saying is the term higher level needs a reference like i have a higher level of skill than half the people in this server that ask for help but if i look at someone specific i may not as i only have a year and 4 months of experience

[opal glacier]

Good day. I come from unreal and Godot, could anyone tell me anything about visual scripting in unity? Has it improved? Do people still use it, and if so, how is it used? I'm not comfortable with c sharp, as I'm still super new. I'm used to visual scripting from unreal and a little bit of Godot coding, but nothing to say that I'm a pro. I'm really wanting to make a game, and I think unity is the engine I'm gonna use. Please ping on response 🙂

[astral vale]

Hey, I have a quick question. I'm working on a 3D VR game and want to implement a blurry vision effect to simulate cataracts. I tried using post-processing to achieve this, but I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone help me with this?

[tall hearth]

I'm sure you can take a large texture image that's just a varried blur and overlay it on the camera

Though im not sure how your game works so this may not be the exact effect you'd want

[astral vale]

Thanks I will try it

[tall hearth]

As far as i know it really isnt the best and is never really recommended to invest time into learning visual scripting over programmjng though unity does support it. Here's the channel forum for it if you wish to get an idea of it https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1390346878394040320

[latent edge]

anyone? 💔

[opal glacier]

I don't think you drag it into the view port scene, I think you drag it in the hierarchy or at least that's what I do

[deft rock]

Use the axis gizmo to drag things around

[opal glacier]

Oh that kind of dragging xD

[deft rock]

I think anyway, question isn't clear

[latent edge]

i used that as an example, like if you drag it on a plane with the move tool but in all directions, so if you drag it ontop of like a box it goes on the box instead of just staying on 1 plane

[deft rock]

there's nothing exactly like that, but you can hold V to get vertex snapping

[latent edge]

ive tried vertex snapping and it didnt really fit my needs, is there not a plugin for something like that

[deft rock]

maybe, look on the store

I know there's scene gravity assets, which may do what you want as well

[latent edge]

cause when i drag an asset from the explorer on the bottom into the scene view, its exactly like how i want it so i assumed unity had it already

its just to speed up my workflow

[latent edge]

got an example here, i moved from roblox studio to unity so im kinda new anyway

its a simple feature so i assumed unity had it

[tawny quail]

Are you talking about this? ctrl+shift then drag the object onto a surface that has a collider

[latent edge]

yes EXACTLY bro 😭

thanks ✌️

also what is that keybind called?

[worldly cave]

ctrl + shift?

[latent edge]

yeah

[worldly cave]

thats what its called what

[tawny quail]

surface snapping maybe?

[worldly cave]

oh

you mean the name for the thing itself?

[latent edge]

yeah the keybind for the thing itself cause i cant search for key inputs

im tryingto change the keybind

[exotic relic]

You can also hold the V key to snap vertices

Good for building modular roads and builds etc

[shadow heron]

How can I move in a different direction a bit faster? I am using AddForce to move the player for better physics.

[worldly cave]

you need some counter force

so instead of just pushing it in the other direction you need to cancel out the velocity thats opposing it

allowing you to switch directions faster

[tall hearth]

Never used this (mainly cause i've never needed it) but does this only function off the origin of the object?

[tidal drift]

Okay thank you both

[storm patio]

you don't need paid courses, there are plenty of free resources

[jagged yarrow]

im not sure what channel to put this in but id be greatful if anyone can help. the best way i can explain it is the transparent part of my pngs texture isnt fully transparent

[storm patio]

would be a #🔀┃art-asset-workflow question

[jagged yarrow]

okay, thank you

[gusty abyss]

hello i want to start learning unity but i know there are a lot of video tutorials available ..but they are to basic mean for a little project they take hours of tutorial so how i start learning is unity learn is best source or i follow any youtube course can anyone help me about that

[fleet canopy]

unity learn is the most recommended

also what do you mean “too basic” and “little project” because those are what you need to start off learning

[worldly cave]

if youre starting to learn then theres nothing as too basic

[gusty abyss]

no i am already worked in many things like 2d animation and 3d also other engines so mostly i understand any topic instantly but tutorials make it too long for a tiny simple topic

[worldly cave]

well you still need to learn the basics of unity itself

[fleet canopy]

if you do have other knowledge I don’t see the benefit of doing something bigger then, you’ll just need the basics to familiarise yourself with the engine

[worldly cave]

including its editor

but for other stuff you could do with intermediate level tutorials

[fleet canopy]

and you don’t have to do everything

you can always skip parts

or just do like a few things on the learn page

[tall hearth]

Dont use a transparent surface type instead turn on alpha clipping and turn up the value

[gusty abyss]

Can you recommend any tuotials which are prefect choices according to you brother

[worldly cave]

I would still recommend unity learn

[deft owl]

Hello. I'd like to talk to a Unity developer for my project.

[worldly cave]

theres plenty of those here

just ask

[fleet canopy]

yeah that’s the whole server

[shadow heron]

How would I do that? would I do something like if (moveDirection.sqrMagnitude > 0.01f) and in there cancel out the velocity i.e. Vector3.zero?

[storm patio]

apply a force in the opposite direction you're moving in

[shadow heron]

would it be something like rb.AddForce(oppositeDirection * forceMagnitude, ForceMode.Impulse); oppositeDirection being -currentVelocity,normalized

[craggy pollen]

test it out and see

[shadow heron]

Doesn't work. I can't move and my player stutters a lot

[storm patio]

what is forceMagnitude there

and why is it applied as an impulse if it's a force

and why is it exclusive from the normal movement force? this is intended to stop the existing momentum when you try to change direction, it's not meant to replace the movement

[craggy pollen]

#🏃┃animation

[worldly cave]

ok

[craggy pollen]

then do it

[worldly cave]

yeah i dont get why are you telling us here... in a help channel of all places

[fleet canopy]

because there’s people who specifically are good at animations who hang around that channel

that’s why these specific channels exist

[storm patio]

there was someone else who presumably deleted their message, that's who kuzmo and murado's second message were replying to

[fleet canopy]

oh

[worldly cave]

yes yes i know what happened

its just funny to pretend you were being silly

[glass iron]

[torpid cave]

i have a parent grid object, it has a ton of children gameobjects, i wanna select a random one of them to be assigned a special tile if a certain word is not in that objects name, how do i do this? and is this the correct way to do it?

[plain dagger]

You would need to collect all of the objects that meet this criteria and then generate a random index to pick one

[tall hearth]

This is what you'd be looking for https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.GetChild.html, pair it with a https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform-childCount.html and you have your bounds for the min and max index value

[tall hearth]

note idk how performant this is i just know it'd work, assuming all children in the grid object are fine with being selected

though you could also do like rob suggested and just collect the children objects that fit what you want when they are created, or if they are built out of runtime you could have it collect in a form of array once and continue to reference it

[torpid cave]

this looks kinda complicated, idk how im supposed to learn when i cant understand anything but i know im also not supposed to be in tutorials constantly, what should i do?

[tall hearth]

if a certain word is not in that objects name
ahh totally misinterpreted this part, my suggestion wont work to well then so ignore it. Though if you considered Transform.GetChild(int index); too complicated any functional solution would be far too much for your current skill.

[tall hearth]

though as i mentioned here (^) you can store a dictionary, array, list of these objects that "dont have a certain word" from when they are created or when the scene first runs and randomly pick one.

[torpid cave]

i need to do a list right? i was able to understand C# with normal simple data types but didnt understand anything with lists, the entire thing was confusing

It never is. Yet we get it daily.

[warm brook]

explain?

[worldly cave]

cant believe just a few years ago we had half life alyx, now every vr game is borderline mobile game slop

i blame the quest

[stuck flower]

"It's not like Gorilla Tag. It's exactly the same in all forms of gameplay and mechanics and graphics but in my game the gorillas have hats." except with worse spelling and grammar.

[worldly cave]

once a week someone comes to this server because they dream of making a gtag derivative game

they are typically active for a day or 2 as they try and then give up pretty quickly because either a. they have no game dev experience and are biting off way more than they can chew, or b. they never had plans to actually bother making anything on their own and are just trying to find people to make a game for them.

[stuck flower]

Once a week? That's generous. Try multiple a day.

[warm brook]

it’s not fully gorilla tag it’s mix with big scary, breach, Primal Fear, and gorilla tag. Mixed

[worldly cave]

"gtag but mixed with other games i also like" is also a common sight here

[stuck flower]

So what kind of hats will your gorillas be wearing then?

[warm brook]

I got a few of my friends to help

There's no off topic here.

[brazen hill]

cube

[dire timber]

so i made a new URP project and when the editor opened it gave me a pop up saying my personal and asset store license were revoked. They weren't last night when i was messing with HDRP, has this happened to anyone else?

oh nvm, it readded it once the project finished compiling or whatever

[plain dagger]

Either a mistake or unity think you should not be using personal.
Unless you work with some company/org projects its probably a fluke and you can just get a new license

[dire timber]

I don’t work with a company or org, js me

[plain dagger]

should be able to just get a new license via unity hub then (unless you are using some ancient version)

[polar basalt]

can i hide a scene? like load a scene additevely, but hide the current one? so that we dont lose anything from there?

[midnight fractal]

idk where to put this but how do i fix the blur?

[polar basalt]

in texture there is different settings, play around with them

there is filtering

[tall hearth]

probably the import settings of the texture

[polar basalt]

and there is max texture size

[midnight fractal]

well what is the best website for darawing 2d art for stuff such as bricks clay bricks woord grass

anyone know?

[tall hearth]

how is this relevant from the last question? also is there any need for it to be a website

[midnight fractal]

mainly that

and idk

i just want a better webstie

[plain dagger]

here is a website https://krita.org/en/

ops its a website for a program ohh noes

[tall hearth]

lol giving a website download for an app 🤣

[midnight fractal]

thats cool but not pixel art

[plain dagger]

oh boy wait till you hear about this

[tall hearth]

you know pixel art can be made in krita

[midnight fractal]

yea but i aint risking a virus

[tall hearth]

tf are you on about

[jagged yarrow]

https://amzn.eu/d/acr3t0m does anyone think this sounds like a good harddrive for transferring unity files quickly to different pcs for the price point? Help would be greatly appreciated as I need to get one asap for college

[plain dagger]

unless i knew what drive was in there id not buy this because i have never heard of fanxiang

[jagged yarrow]

What do you mean what drive was in there

I’m not seeing any negative reviews just wanted to make sure before I bought it.

[plain dagger]

the actual ssd/m.2 thats inside this enclosure (usually what these things do)

price sounds about right to me. If you want better choice you can buy a usb c m.2 enclosure and put any drive in it

[tall hearth]

could be a fake drive that's just a crappy ~64GB sd card sold as an portable ssd with a cover on it

[jagged yarrow]

But surely the reviews would reflect it’s performance

[plain dagger]

reviews can be faked

[tall hearth]

also i wouldn't trust a product just from reviews there's a more than likely chances they are fake

[jagged yarrow]

So what hardrive would you suggest I buy for under £100

[tall hearth]

thing claims up to 2GB/s sequential speeds only goes 400MB/s -_-

[jagged yarrow]

Is ssk a more reliable brand as I’ve found this one, https://amzn.eu/d/fzwmxRo

[tall hearth]

also no never heard of a disco ssd (nor ssk)

[jagged yarrow]

So is there any that you can recommend for the price point?

[tall hearth]

no, i dont research external drives but i'd recommend what the other guy said about buying an nvme m.2 to usb c enclosure & then also just an nvme ssd

[plain dagger]

Wont be as cheap. Id otherwise go with a sandisk/micron/wd external drive

[jagged yarrow]

Do you by any chance have any ideas on what portable ssd from these brands I should buy for under £100

[plain dagger]

This may be the best bet but its £106 https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-Portable-1050MB-Dust-Resistant/dp/B08GTYFC37?th=1
The better ones seem to be over this threshold and i expect prices to keep going up 🙁

[jagged yarrow]

It doesn’t have to be 1 tb. Can easily survive on 500gb if that helps

[plain dagger]

I'll leave the rest to you but sticking to trusted brands helps as they will use better quality nand flash and have cache on the SSD.

[jagged yarrow]

Okay, thank you for your help

[onyx gorge]

Yall should I make a Dragon Ball Z game or a Binding of Isaac game, the movement system is based off Gorrila Tag, so its going to be vr

why?

[glass depot]

oh my god you guys werent joking

[stuck flower]

Because you're probably twelve and do not know how hard it is to make a video game

[onyx gorge]

fine i wont bro

[jagged yarrow]

Is it even a good idea to use an external harddrive to transfer unity files or would I be better off using a different method. I’ve heard about repositories but I’ve never been able to get it to work. I’m not sure if it will work on my college computers as there certain things the computers can’t do such as download new programs without admin approval.

[worldly cave]

you should absolutely use git

this isnt even a question imo its a must have when working on projects

[jagged yarrow]

It will be okay for transferring files over multiple computers with the same unity account?

[worldly cave]

the unity account is irrelevant here

[onyx gorge]

im moving back into unreal

[worldly cave]

bye

[jagged yarrow]

My main problem I’m thinking of with GitHub is I won’t be able to download the GitHub software to apply the changes on the college pc. Is there a workaround where the actual program isn’t required, e.g website

[glass depot]

8k gorillas

[worldly cave]

you can use the site to download the repo of your project

but to commit and push you will need either github desktop or git cli

[jagged yarrow]

What is git cli sorry

Is it a program

Alr so basically I can’t make new saves on a pc with GitHub without having the GitHub desktop software downloaded

[slow dirge]

Git cli is Git command line interface. Git is the version control system. Github is just hosting servers for it.

[jagged yarrow]

Is it simple enough or does it require some time to learn and understand

[worldly cave]

everything takes time to learn and understand

but its not complex

[slow dirge]

You can get started pretty fast. You only need to know like ~5 commands to create a repo/push and pull stuff.

[jagged yarrow]

I understand that but I need to use it for a project I’m working on right now I have a 4 week deadline to get it done and I currently can’t do anything in class because my save is at home. Forgive me for trying to find a solution as quick as possible

Is there a way I can use unitys repository without GitHub or is GitHub required

[slow dirge]

You can use unity version control. It's a different version control system. Not git. But it would take a bit of learning as well. You can use it entirely in unity, though there are limits for the free tier and you still need to register a payment method/credit card(I think).

[jagged yarrow]

Do you know the extent that the free version works at

[slow dirge]

I think 3GB or something.

[jagged yarrow]

Damn

That’s cheeks

[slow dirge]

3GB is a lot. Totally enough for a huge project source code and small project assets.

[jagged yarrow]

I think I’m just gunna have to buy an ssd

I’m 99% sure I won’t be able to use GitHub with the college pcs

[slow dirge]

If you have access to the website, you can download the project from it directly.

[jagged yarrow]

Did you say I won’t be able to make saves though?

[slow dirge]

Ah, yeah. That you wouldn't be able to.

Is your project really bigger than 3GB though??

[jagged yarrow]

Yeah so in think my only option is external ssd unless there’s another way to transfer unity giles like the cloud, I don’t need all the fancy branches just a simple save and transfer system

[jagged yarrow]

I’m not sure

[worldly cave]

"another way to transfer unity giles like the cloud"
🧐 but thats exactly what github is

its a cloud based platform for hosting code repositories

also what is preventing you from downloading github on your college pc?

admin permissions?

[jagged yarrow]

Yeah

Really annoying

[jagged yarrow]

You know what I mean, without having to download anything

[worldly cave]

i mean im thinking about it but i dont see why you couldnt just commit directly on the github site?

[jagged yarrow]

Apart from the file ofcourse

[jagged yarrow]

Again I thought you said I couldn’t make any saves with the website

[worldly cave]

does your college pc have vscode?

[worldly cave]

i mean its not the same thing in principle

but you could do it

[jagged yarrow]

Yeah of course lol

[worldly cave]

i think but im not 100% sure

[jagged yarrow]

I’m listening

[worldly cave]

vs code might have git built in

[slow dirge]

It does.

[worldly cave]

yeah it does

just checked

[slow dirge]

Unless it's a very old version.

[jagged yarrow]

My college uses the 2022 version of vscode

Same with unity

Don’t know why

But they do

[slow dirge]

Though, git lfs might need to be installed separately, if you have files with big size.

[slow dirge]

Are you sure it's vs code and not VS? How do you know it's a 2022 version?

[jagged yarrow]

I’m gunna be honest, I’m not experienced with this stuff as you can obviously tell so you might need to dumb it down for me a bit

[jagged yarrow]

What’s the difference between vs code and vs? I know it’s the 2022 version because it says it when I load the software up

[slow dirge]

Basically, if you have files above 50(I think) mb, there might be difficulties.

[jagged yarrow]

I don’t know what to do and I’m stressing

Every option is being taken away

I’m cooked😔 ✌️

[slow dirge]

Then it's VS. Visual studio is a full ide from Microsoft. VS code is sort of open source text/code editor by Microsoft with a lot of plugins for various features. They're different programs.

[slow dirge]

What do you mean?

[worldly cave]

vs purple vs code blue

[jagged yarrow]

No I do have the blue one

Pretty sure I have both

[slow dirge]

The simplest official one, and probably what your school expects is that you use unity version control.

[worldly cave]

bruh i just doxxed my name

why the fuck is that even visible there

oh it was git goddamnit

[jagged yarrow]

No, I talked to my lecturer and he said he only knows of one student that tried version control. We are expected to use hard drives so everyone does, however my harddrive is a hdd so it uploads the unity files at 7kb per second

Also yeah it did look like that @worldly cave lol

[worldly cave]

your lecturer sounds like an idiot lmao

why is he forcing you guys to use external drives when version control is a far better option

[jagged yarrow]

I don’t know 😭

Easier for students to bring a hard drive in ig

So we’ve basically established that version control isn’t an option. I know that you guys would rather me use version control but would it be the end of the world/ even possible to buy a portable ssd and transfer my files that way?

@worldly cave

[slow dirge]

Are you perhaps transferring the whole project folder with the Library folder?

Because a simple project shouldn't take long to transfer properly even with an hdd.

[jagged yarrow]

What do you mean sorry

[slow dirge]

And then you can just get a USB flash card with 30GB and that would be more than enough.

[jagged yarrow]

And also whenever I try to transfer the file it always isn’t able to copy/ transfer a couple random files

[slow dirge]

You don't need to transfer all the project files. 90% of them are regenerated by unity/temp files.

I suggest learning Unity file formats and project structure.

[jagged yarrow]

Is there any chance you could show me an example of what you mean, I’m having a hard time visualising which files you mesn

[slow dirge]

You only need the contents of the Assets folder basically. Maybe the project settings and packages manifest as well.

I can't show anything right now, as I'm typing from mobile and don't have access to a pc with unity.

But you should get into a habit of researching stuff on your own.

[jagged yarrow]

I think I’m cooked

I going to try and delete the temp files from the project and the library then zip it and put it on my harddrive. Then grab it and put it onto my laptop and see if it opens

Hi all, I’m making a rhythm game but my math is quite abysmal.

I have my beat system mostly working, but calculating how early I must spawn beats from my serialised data in order for it to reach the visual reticle point is a mystery to me.

Assuming the beats spawn beyond the screen, and that I have a fixed velocity for the beats, how do I calculate and account for the time it takes to travel and reach a specific point so that it matches the song beat? Rather than just having it spawn the exact time the beat hits?

[glossy thunder]

At what point do you get worried you got scammed when commishioning an artist? I hired for a steam capsule. Sent the initial payment on friday. I think things look correct but haven't heard back yet. When do I start getting concerned and try to refund? We used a site called "Wise" for the contract. Everything seemed very professional. Am I just being paranoid? Thanks!

[jagged yarrow]

How come you didn’t use Fiverr, a lot safer for the commissioner

[glossy thunder]

never done this b4

[jagged yarrow]

If you have a proper contract and the website is trusted enough there shouldn’t be an issue. I would start worrying if there is no contact after the deadline

[slow dirge]

I heated fiver isn't very reliable either. Upwork for the win.

[jagged yarrow]

Every experience I’ve had with Fiverr has been positive both selling and buying, I can’t see a way for either party to lose money

If anything, Fiverr heavily favours the buyer in deals, only making the buyer pay after the work has been finalised last I checked

[worldly cave]

What fiverr are you using lol

I used fiverr twicr and both times i had to pay right off the bat

[jagged yarrow]

Really?

Nevermind, I might be mistaken. I know from a selling point of view that the funds don’t begin to get transferred until the buyer is happy with the purchase, if this doesn’t happen then the buyer is automatically refunded by Fiverr

feels like I’m sponsored lol

[slow dirge]

It's the same in upwork. The funds are being held until the work is submitted and confirmed by the client. Upwork just always felt more professional than fiverr to me. But I haven't used fiverr that much, so I can't say much. Truth be told, all of these websites have potential to land on a bad client/freelancer.

[arctic thistle]

hey guys nice to talk u. I'm new here 🙂 i want to ask if you have any path to learn unity from 0. Right now i'm doing the unity learn path, idk if you think its good or you have a better option

[slow dirge]

It's good. Keep it up.

[arctic thistle]

any idea after i'm done with it?

[slow dirge]

Start working on simple projects.

Take them from 0 to release(can release on itch io for free).

[arctic thistle]

i'll give it a try, thanks!

[midnight fractal]

is this good topogoli?

its for my game

[marble fiber]

[midnight fractal]

thx

[slow dirge]

Is that a joke?

[midnight fractal]

no

totally

[slow dirge]

Are you gonna use it as is in your project?

[midnight fractal]

it was a joke

its too much triangle

[slow dirge]

It's not obvious that you're not a beginner that doesn't know about vert count.

[midnight fractal]

no.

[gusty abyss]

Ok, it glitched my brain

[oak meadow]

My hold on busy has been going on for 15 minutes and i didn't do anything like save a script i just clicked something in the hierarchy is there anyway to make it stop so i can save my scene

[slow dirge]

This is likely an infinite loop somewhere.
You could try breaking out of it with a debugger if it's reachable and in managed code.

[oak meadow]

Well my scene is empty i dont have any scripts in it i'm just editing the canvas

[slow dirge]

Well, there's a lot more code running than just your scripts.

Most likely some package.

[oak meadow]

I can't click anything so i'm not sure what to do

[river reef]

Is there a way in unity multiplayer where users can watch a video together and only the host can control the video pause/play logic?

[hushed hamlet]

Yes, thats pretty standard call request in multiplayer

Keeping in mind they may not be 100% in sync (latency)

[slow dirge]

If you don't know how to connect the debugger, track down the loop and break out of it, there's probably not much you can do, aside from killing the editor in the task manager.

[river reef]

A little delay is understandable, but I can't find any examples on how to do this. I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to multiplayer stuff.

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah I cant help with unitys multiplayer, I used their old unet, fishnet, photon, and now our own internal thing but not their new unity services thing...

But there is some system im sure to do a global RPC Call from the host to the clients. Its usually pretty easy to add compared to everything else youll do later

Like, its usually just a one liner assuming all the other multiplayers in place. Im sure they cover some of it on unity learn too

[desert kindle]

is there an easy way to make arms animation for FPP characters, i never touch animation making part😭 . anyone can help me

[storm patio]

please don't lead with hello, just ask

[fair cove]

Usually the 2 typical ways I know of is with a full body animation, where you would need to position the camera further back to see more of the arms, and probably have the camera not render the head - or you could separate the arms but then you might need a "generic" rig instead of a "humanoid" rig (or use IK and control the arms mostly through code), and in both cases you may have to modify the animations in a unrealistic way so they are shown on camera correctly, you could try asking #🏃┃animation about whichever technique you want to get working in your project, they both have pros and cons

[quick aurora]

sorry, just haven't touched unity in a while and now i have to remember things but i cliant asked me to use specific bases, that i already had but i've forgotten how to swap thingd out when its attached to the body base

Like how use it, i bought 2 murder drone assets and I'm trying to swap the disassembly drone tail out for a different one but the tail is attached to the body base

[storm patio]

probably gonna give some more context, what is "base" in this case

[quick aurora]

can i send photo's ?

[storm patio]

yes

it's sounding maybe like an #🔀┃art-asset-workflow question. if so, try asking there

[quick aurora]

So the disassembly drone tail is attached to the body base and i need to put a shark tail on it in its place

[desert kindle]

you need to use blender for this, Select the tail only in edit mode and press P to seperate the selection from body base, then save it and import again in unity you will get it seperated

[quick aurora]

so i need to download blender

[desert kindle]

yeah try use older version like 4.1

[quick aurora]

ok thank you

[tribal pike]

How do I fix shader/material Issues with updating projects from 2023 to 6+?

I've had to manually select each material and change the shader path every time I boot the project lmao

[safe python]

I have an idea to make a 2D topdown online extraction shooter game. How many years do you think it would take us to complete it?

[storm patio]

anywhere from 1 to 15

that's way too little info to give any meaningful advice, and it's impossible to give a definite answer anyways

[desert kindle]

Yup, time based on your idea, how much hours spend on it in a day and development knowledge level as well

[slow dirge]

Path? You mean picking a compatible shader? Why would you need to do it every time though?

[desert kindle]

are you switching project's rendering pipeline too ?

[glossy cairn]

just started making it wont let me press play

[subtle owl]

Click "Clear" and show the remain errors.

[desert kindle]

there must be some errors first you need to fix them only then you can enter play mode, after hit clear if you dont see any just restart unity

[river reef]

I am trying to use the vr multiplayer template, I have a parent gameobject which has a video player gameobject inside it. I want the video to be synced for all users when the host clicks play.

[glossy cairn]

here is a full picture

still wont work

[subtle owl]

Did you download anything? Or was it so when you opened it?

[glossy cairn]

nnope its litterally just started using unity

[subtle owl]

Okey, have you tried restart Unity?

[glossy cairn]

doing that rn

[subtle owl]

Mb you can delete folder "Library" in the project. Unity will restore it, in theory...

[safe python]

Similar to zero sievert.. Zero Sievert was made in 5 years with GameMaker also the guy was inexperienced i think we can make singleplayer in few years and maybe 4-5 years for multiplayer

[gusty abyss]

So im having this issue where I can't boot up the hub?

it freezes there

maybe ill try flatpak instead of the AUR

[safe python]

Using vpn or something?

[naive cloud]

How would someone organize their scripts?

I have about 70 of them, and some have mixed purposes

(As an example, I have one that manages my Inventory HUD menu, and another that manages my Inventory. I have a category for Inventory (items, inventory, the classes of items) and another for HUD managers.)

[tribal pike]

Every time I open the project, I have to pick "standard" on every material for it to go from missing purple, to the actual texture (on every single material) because it's just "blank"

No missing texture files, png, etc. nothing is corrupted either.

Also @desert kindle I haven't switched pipelines, i just opened the project with 6+ and let it do its thing. Original project is using good ol "built-in"

My guess it's because 6+ no longer has that as the default and switches to universal?

[cyan lion]

there was a level in dmc reboot where the boss is a broadcast graphic. it was very creative. it makes me wonder how can we put broadcast graphics in cinema 4d to unity hdrp

[gusty abyss]

nope I got it working by using flatpak though

[slow dirge]

That sounds like your material data(metadata?) doesn't save or gets reset.

I'd check with version control to make sure the material data on disk actually changes when you modify the materials.

[naive cloud]

I am using URP, how do I convert an asset that I found into urp?

All of the prefabs are just pink

[slow dirge]

Select a urp compatible shader on the material.

Hello ! I have a question about an editor bug, I'd like to know which channel to post my problem on. ty !

[storm patio]

an appropriate channel according to what systems are relevant

if you aren't sure or can't find one, just post here. you'll be redirected if necessary

[cold sky]

I got a gameobject with a layer raycasts ignore, and it got children with a layer raycasts don't ignore
Turns out, raycasts with a mask only suitable to hit children also hitting the parent
What would be a reasonable fix? I want them to ignore parent collider

[past jetty]

Ty 🙂

[cold sky]

is that a physics question btw?

[storm patio]

it is, yes

[slow dirge]

I don't think they would be hitting the parent normally. You likely have a compound collider case.
The solution is to isolate the colliders you want to be hit from those that you don't, by giving them separate RBs.

[cold sky]

yeah I see I meant to add rigidbodies

[foggy breach]

My editor blocks its loading regularly, and freezing. I have recently deleted some files in project/library to fix a problem, maybe it's the cause.
And i can't remove or update the AI ​​package.

Ty for your helps. 🙂

[ocean pumice]

You could edit the json file of the package list to get the latest version and see, if that also fixes the problem you probably introduced with deleting library stuff manually.

[storm patio]

have you tried resetting the library

[past jetty]

I found the option to reset all packages on the net, but not found the option on my Unity : ///

[storm patio]

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

[past jetty]

Done ! Change nothing, I have recurring freeze wiith Ai.Toolkit.EditorTasks 😔

[subtle hornet]

uhhhh idk can we hop on vc? so that i could show you am new to this

[deft rock]

no

[subtle hornet]

my ground

[deft rock]

remove that mesh collider (just to tidy up, it's disabled and not needed)

[subtle hornet]

alr but i tried it still dont work tho

[deft rock]

tried what?

[subtle hornet]

i removed the mesh collider but still dont work

[deft rock]

yes, of course it wont make a difference.. which is what I said in brackets..

[subtle hornet]

yeah alr so what do i do noe?

[deft rock]

how do you move your vehicle

https://unity.huh.how/physics/transform-manipulation

[subtle hornet]

well i js added it and the tutorial i watched didnt said anything about it

[deft rock]

go back and follow the tutorial again, you've missed something or done something wrong

[sly lake]

What kind of collider does the car have?

[subtle hornet]

idk how to code i just took someone's design

[subtle hornet]

it dont have anything just rigidbody

[sly lake]

Add a box collider. It'll stop falling through the terrain.

[deft rock]

you literally said in your first msg it has a mesh collider..

[sly lake]

No, the terrain does 🙂

[deft rock]

how do you expect things to collider if there's no colliders..

[sly lake]

Which is unnecessary because it has a terrain collider

[subtle hornet]

for the ground it has not the car😁

[deft rock]

this reads as the car does, but could also read as the terrain does 🙂

[subtle hornet]

yeah ur right

[deft rock]

Be clear and specific with your messages, stop saying "it" for everything.

[subtle hornet]

alr

[subtle hornet]

added box collider and still the car is falling

[sly lake]

To the car, right?

Oh

The car shouldn't have an animator

I think that may be overriding PhysX? Not sure

[subtle hornet]

alr so i uncheck the animator?

[deft rock]

if it shouldn't be there... you do.. what?

[subtle hornet]

stil not working

[subtle hornet]

i dont get it

yo?

[wanton ibex]

does anyone else also just randomly get those messages? they pop up, then take 10 minutes ish to finish executing, then unity freezes

and i have to force quit unity

[storm patio]

if it shouldn't be there, you'd remove it, presumably

[subtle hornet]

thx

[violet thunder]

Did removing animator fix it?

[violet thunder]

Someone asked a similiar thing related to AI package here #💻┃code-beginner message

[slow dirge]

Damn... Unity fucked up... I think it's due to the end of the previous AI features beta...

[slow dirge]

Assuming it's stuck in the same place, you can break here and assign null to settings.
This should be in the frontmost thread callstack if you break with a debugger.

Then remove the ai packages to prevent it from happening again

[storm patio]

the overall solve is to remove the ai package? could that be done from editing package.json+library reset

[slow dirge]

I think so. But you should be able to do it from the package manager. The issue seems to happen on some asset refresh sometimes. I think.

[storm patio]

hm, seems like the issue causes editor issues, making the package manager unusable though

(to be clear, just trying to formulate a repeatable solution to resolve the issue, since it's come up quite a few times)

[slow dirge]

Hmm... Donno. I just removed the packages via the package manager. What do you mean by unstable?

[wanton ibex]

it seems like only removing the ai package fixed it (for now atleast)

[wanton ibex]

thanks!

[violet thunder]

Is the AI package default in unity now or why do yall have it?

[slow dirge]

I was trying it out a bit

I don't think it's default. Or gonna be any time soon.

[storm patio]

a few reports of the issue mentioned the editor freezing/crashing, so the package manager would presumably be un-usable in those cases

ah, though they haven't mentioned it happening immediately on startup, so i suppose you could just open unity and remove them before it happened.

[slow dirge]

Yeah, it did on refresh or some other timing. After killing the thread with a null reference, it returned control to the editor.

[subtle hornet]

yeah still has the problem

[storm patio]

so yes or no

[subtle hornet]

NO

[zealous grail]

hello people. how do i measure the actual size of a gameobject. not the scale but the size. is there anything i can use straight in the menu or do i have to write code for it

i have code that checks minimum size and it has to be 1.25f, and well i don't know how to check if the gameobject is the min size myself

[storm patio]

well, how do you define the size? gameobjects don't inherently have a size
you could use a collider's size, a mesh's bounding box, a sprite's size, etc

[zealous grail]

i would want to figure out the size of this object. public float MinObstacleHeight = 1.25f; this code over here is used to figure out if the object im focused on is too tall

[storm patio]

again - how you do define the size? figure that out, and then you can measure that directly

[zealous grail]

i define it how tall it is starting from the floor

[storm patio]

if you define it based on the mesh's/collider's height, then you can retreive that value

i'm trying to lead you here

if you can define in precise terms what you're trying to measure, you can easily figure out how to get it

[zealous grail]

i don't know

[storm patio]

for example, the bounds (AABB) of a collider or mesh
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider-bounds.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mesh-bounds.html

[zealous grail]

so i have to code to figure this out

[storm patio]

gameobjects don't have a size, but some components do. what component are you seeing there, that you're trying to measure?

are you trying to measure in scene view?

[zealous grail]

buddy i'm not the brightest

[zealous grail]

yeah i don't wanna code

[storm patio]

this isn't a hard or a trick question

yeah doesn't seem like there's a built-in feature for this

you could probably make editor tools to make this easier, or maybe there's an existing package somewhere that does that

[zealous grail]

with everything unity has it doesn't have this

i'll just eyeball it ig

[storm patio]

you could also make a cube (which you'd know the size of) and compare it to that

[near wigeon]

Just use ProBuilder it also comes with a dimensions overlay, you just don't use scale

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.0/manual/menu-dimover.html

[zealous grail]

probuilder works thank you

[dusty stream]

Hi all, working on a rhythm game here. Could anyone help me out on how I can implement hold beats? I have gotten tap beats to work.

Currently my system reads from a file that tells it what kind of beat it is, tap or hold. I plan to either add a member defining the number of beats the beat spans, or simply check for continuous hold beats to construct a hold beat.

The player runs beatmaps by the index of beat sets. Does anyone have an idea of how I could implement hold beats? I am quite puzzled and maybe a bit sleep deprived over how it can be implemented.

private void RunBeatMap(MapData mapData)
{
    if (!m_Playing) return;

    m_BeatSetIdx = (int)((m_AudioSource.time + m_BeatOffset) / m_Crochet);
    if (mapData.Beat_Sets.Count > m_BeatSetIdx && !mapData.Beat_Sets[m_BeatSetIdx].Played)
    {
        var beats = _BeatFactory.SpawnBeat(
                        mapData.Beat_Sets[m_BeatSetIdx].Beats,
                        m_Crochet * m_BeatSetIdx,
                        mapData.Velocity);
        beats.ForEach(b => RegisterBeat(b));
        mapData.Beat_Sets[m_BeatSetIdx].Played = true;
    }
}

    public List<Beat> SpawnBeat(List<BeatData> beatData, float beatTiming, float velocity)
    {
        List<Beat> beats = new();
        foreach (var data in beatData)
        {
            Vector3 spawn = data.Beat_Position == BeatData.BEAT_POSITION.Left ?
                                                    m_LeftSpawnPosition.position :
                                                    m_RightSpawnPosition.position;
            BeatParent parentBeat = null;
            List<Beat> childBeats = new();
            switch (data.Beat_Type)
            {
                case BeatData.BEAT_TYPE.Tap:
                    {
                        parentBeat = m_TapBeatParentObjectPool.Get().GetComponent<TapBeatParent>();
                        Beat childBeat = m_BeatObjectPool.Get().GetComponent<Beat>();
                        childBeat.transform.position = spawn;
                        childBeat.Init(velocity, beatTiming, data.Score_Value, data.Beat_Position);
                        childBeats.Add(childBeat);
                    }
                    break;
                case BeatData.BEAT_TYPE.Hold:

[indigo umbra]

But does anyone know how to

[silent tinsel]

guys how can i fix these?

[stuck flower]

Update or remove the Unity Collab package

[silent tinsel]

i don't see it anywhere in the package manager

[storm patio]

it's named version control in there

[silent tinsel]

is it important?

okay everything works. i was like "everything i did was add 2 objects and i get 26 errors?"

[storm patio]

if you're using uvc, yes

if not, then no

[silent tinsel]

if i want it to do something when i press a key do i connect the arrows or the circles?

[storm patio]

the arrows, they represent flow. the circles are values

[silent tinsel]

and how do i make a player move right? (2d) i wanted to try without watching tutorials but i am to stupid

[gusty abyss]

50% pathways completed today i know that is basic thing but still building blocks

of learning Unity Engine

[deft rock]

Lack of knowledge doesn't make you stupid.

It is silly to not watch/read tutorials to gain that knowledge, if you're stuck working it out on your own.

[silent tinsel]

okay. btw will it make the player move?

[deft rock]

No idea, never used visual scripting. Instead of asking... just try it?

[silent tinsel]

okay

[deft rock]

And for help with #1390346878394040320 ask in the correct chan 😉

[silent tinsel]

thanks

[storm patio]

you're gonna need some base knowledge either way. you can spend time doing trial and error yourself with no outside help, or you can utilize available resources to get knowledge effectively (like you're doing here, by asking)

a tutorial will help immensely as a starting point.

[silent tinsel]

okay if i don't get the player moving in 5 minutes i will watch a tutorial

[rancid whale]

Hello all,
So I’ve written some code that uses Playables API, basically switching between animation clips from an array with some blending, SetInputWeight, etc
But I noticed during some switches the character jumps up about 0.1m, just for a frame seemingly.
This even happens even if I disable Root Motion, either in Animator or doing nothing in OnAnimatorMove, etc.

Here’s the interesting part, turning off VSync (game view) completely fixes it.
Any ideas?

[plain dagger]

Id presume only on high frame rates some certain blending causes this

[rancid whale]

Well with VSync I am at 120 FPS,
Without, like 350-400. But you meant the VSync rate specifically right

[gray frigate]

one notable thing is that a framerate of 120 FPS neatly aligns with the 60 FPS rate that many animations have their keyframes snapped to

[plain dagger]

I didn't but different frame times means different ways the blending happens

[paper sleet]

Does unity 3d have cardinal directions (y=north,x=east,-y=south,-x=west)? I need a base for the directions.

[potent geyser]

It uses Foward, Back, Right, Left

Any object/point in space has a world facing direction (which would be cardinal in your case) and local facing direction (based on the rotation).

[sly lake]

Y is up.

For 3D I maintain that Z+ is north, but this is really up to you

[paper sleet]

i realized that. thank you

[paper sleet]

I will use that. thank you

[tall hearth]

Also up, and down
With Vector3.up being the "cardinal" direction for up, and Transform being based off rotations up, same with down.

Though less important for cardinal than it is for local use

[rancid whale]

But the issue is only present at VSync’d 120 FPS.
At 350-400 FPS variable, no random vertical popping 0.1m during blends.

[rancid whale]

So… Variable frame time = better blending without the whole character model jumping 0.1m into the air?

[gray frigate]

my thought is that the exact alignment is triggering the bug

I'd try making it so that you don't blend out the old animation

see if you still get popping

[rancid whale]

The whole system works on the previous animation hitting 0 on the SetInputWeight and the next one hitting 1.0

[gray frigate]

I have very little experience with Playables, but this makes me wonder if you're getting one frame with a bad combination of weights

[rancid whale]

Maybe some float precision related stuff is happening. But it’s just strange that disabling VSync solves it.
Bouta switch to Unreal Engine if I can’t sort this out today 🤣

[gray frigate]

That could be relevant if you're waiting for a weight to hit zero before you start changing another weight

i'd have to see the code to say more

[rancid whale]

Well no it’s more like
animPrevious.SetInputWeight(1.0f - weight)
animCurrent.SetInputWeight(weight)

Although I do instantly set the weight to 0 when switching, but that shouldn’t matter since the animations cascade at that moment too, hence the currently playing one still has a weight of 1, it’s just (1.0f - 0) instead of (weight)

[thick heron]

I've been trying to decide if i should make walls and floors of out quads, planes, or cubes. I've read a lot of pros and cons for each. Does anyone have any advice on how you would personally decide?

[worldly cave]

whats the difference between a quad and a plane?

arent they both just fully flat rectangles?

[thick heron]

I was trying to use as many quads as possible to simplify geometry and only use meshes when i needed a shape or more verts for shader effects, but I also read using cubes for floors helps with physics.

[thick heron]

throw both in a scene and look at the wireframe, its a ton of verts different

[worldly cave]

my bad my brain was in blender mode for a second

imo i would use cubes for the enviroment

[thick heron]

even for walls and such? I guess I'd just set an arbitrary thickness to them like .1 or .01 etc

[worldly cave]

i mean what wall is infinitely thin like a plane lol

also i think but im not 100% sure it can affect lighting if its all planes

[thick heron]

That's actually pretty interesting. I'll have to look at that and maybe prefab some modules and try both.

[tall hearth]

odd reason to stop using a game engine.
have you tried what happens in a build with and without vsync?

@worldly cave yeah no clue had a message selected and was replaying to it but then it didn't reply :/

[worldly cave]

what msg lol

[tall hearth]

this one (Vengeful for context read my last message)

[jagged sage]

Are the unity tutorials good

[latent meadow]

they are as good as the knowledge you can gain from them..

so, for some, yes, for others, no

example, person 1 did not know what a prefab even was, so the tutorial was very helpful for them.
person 2 already had three different shortcuts to make and manipulate prefabs, so the same tutorial was too primitive to be useful.
person 3 is an expert programmer, so basically none of them are any good as he already has an arsenal of better ways to do things

[stuck flower]

There's never really a reason to not do a tutorial. Even if it's trivial or way over your head it's not like time spent trying to learn is ever wasted.

You don't need to optimize every second of learning for maximum efficiency. Diminishing returns are still returns.

[latent meadow]

indeed

[rancid whale]

No, but I’m disappointed enough with the Playables API overall that VSync (Game View) affecting the character model Y position could totally be the last straw

[stuck flower]

[rancid whale]

digiholic, have you no insights into my Playables API animation blending Y-jump with VSync issue 😢 ,
Good sir?

[exotic relic]

i recently had to get a refund cuz ai wrote the description and it didnt match what the model actually was

[tall hearth]

unfortunately, though i dont use (store bought) assets so i dont have any reason to complain

[tall hearth]

have you tried what i suggested?

have you tried what happens in a build with and without vsync?

[deft rock]

I know it does, I'm on there... but it's a competing store to Unity's own, which is the reason fab links may not be allowed

[exotic relic]

I usually dont but some are pretty nice

[worldly cave]

i mostly buy animations and particle effects

[rancid whale]

At this point it’s feeling like Unity is just getting too much in the way of the things I’m looking to do.
The Playables API is abandoned after all. But it’s the only way to start playing an animation at a certain time without the freaking “Cycle Offset” Animator float param BS???

[worldly cave]

s&box calls on you

[stuck flower]

I do architectural simulations. I have only the vaguest idea of what the "Playables API" even is. This is why you don't ask specific people about a problem

[exotic relic]

I would definitely agree. Theres only so much we can do in a time frame. There is a ton of pieces to a game, so I wouldnt say its bad to grab some quality parts from someone who has a profession in another area

[worldly cave]

particles are seriously my biggest weakness and i should get that "sorted" but im fine with relying on third party assets for now because almost everything i need exists on the asset store

its also a whole nother art form in itself

[rancid whale]

If anyone can help then that would be great so what I need help with is my game because when I’m in the editor in unity and run the game then it works just fine but when I Launch it in my vr and then wait for a few seconds then kr crashes?

[safe garden]

is there a way to have a collider applied to a moving mesh, say if its a platform moving? For some reason when I am adding a box or mesh collider it just stays static in place and doesn't move with the platform

[rancid whale]

that it’s proprietary? or that GMod and subsequently s&box are built on the source engine?
just guessing here

[worldly cave]

s&box is a fork of the source 2 engine

its also now open source

[rancid whale]

of course yeah

[worldly cave]

so you would be switching to the source engine regardless 😉

[stuck flower]

How are you moving the object? Is the object you're moving the one that has the collider component on it or a parent/child of it?

[safe garden]

I tried both the object and the parent itself but both of them have a static collider and won't move with the mesh during animation. The mesh itself has been animated and then imported to unity

[stuck flower]

So how are you moving the object?

[safe garden]

I'm not moving it per say, just dropping it into the scene and using an animation controller to have it animate on running the build

[charred cairn]

hi, i'm trying to import a title card, but unity is automatically splicing it into individual letters? how do i stop it from doing this?

[stuck flower]

So, if it's not moving, then the collider won't move.

[balmy kettle]

sprite mode to single

[safe garden]

ah that makes sense actually 😄 so would it be better to set up a mover/target setup instead for something like that

[stuck flower]

You would want the movement to actually move the object, not the faces of the mesh

[safe garden]

will try now ty!

[charred cairn]

ur a wizard, tysm

[inner patio]

Anybody willing to help me with rigging in unity I havent watched so many videos and can't seem to get this character rightm I need help

[plain dagger]

you can change the sprite mode from "multiple" to "single"

oh derp twas already said

[gray salmon]

why does my blender model look like this in unity?:

[plain dagger]

Improper material setup

[gray dirge]

Look like what? looks like car to me

[gray salmon]

looks like this in blender:

[gray dirge]

Looks like a car there too

[gray salmon]

the hood, it has many lines

[plain dagger]

If they go away when you change your scene to unlit then its relating to shadows/ao texture/something else

[gray salmon]

how can i change it to "unlit"?

[plain dagger]

Check this: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/overlays-reference-draw-modes.html

[gray salmon]

and one more question, i read your profile description, and im impressed about your knowledge
can you maybe give some tips how to learn C#? because i only know how to model

[gray salmon]

alr, thank you

[gray dirge]

Could have also something to do with the normals too if unlit does look fine

[worldly cave]

you need to mark them as sharp in blender as well

[gray dirge]

I assume they want the hood to look smooth without horizontal edges

[gray salmon]

they are

[worldly cave]

are your face normals correct?

[gray salmon]

yeah

[gray dirge]

SSAO would be my first guess, something going wrong with the normals (triangulation potentially messing up something) the second one

[worldly cave]

what happens when you switch to unlit?

[gray salmon]

looks right

[gray salmon]

you sure?

[worldly cave]

so rob was correct, it almost certainly is some kind of shadow or ao issue

[gray salmon]

so i need to add light? or what is the solution

[gray dirge]

I'm not sure at all. Try disabling SSAO (if enabled in the URP settings) and then shadows. Disabling features until the problem goes away is often a good way to find an issue with lighting

[river steeple]

help, where can I learn about subclass script inherenting values from main class in a prefab?

I have a prefab enemy with a enemyScript, and I want its prefab variant's to have the subclass of that script while inheriting the values of that enemyScript, so changes to the main prefab still affects it while having the new/changed functions.

couldnt quite find info on it online

[stuck flower]

I don't think that's possible. Even though the child class is an instance of the parent, they're still different assets, and the prefab system won't know to go update those files since it only deals in GUIDs. The serializer doesn't have any concept of inheritance, just "Go through all these objects and change the values on the script with a GUID of X to the new value"

[gray salmon]

idk how, i looked up in chrome, even asked chatgpt, but i dont know how to do or what you mean

[gray dirge]

What render pipeline are you using? URP?

[gray salmon]

URP

[river steeple]

rip, is there any alternative or solution? this enemyScript has many many important variables and would be a paint to keep them updated manually throughout variants, ig the next best option is to divide this script's behavious in different scripts r and make sub classes out of just on of them r?

[stuck flower]

Yeah, I think that'd be the best bet. You could even split these values off into a ScriptableObject, and make all the different child classes have a reference to one, then you can make a single SO file and drag that file into each of them individually

so they're not only just using the prefab system, they're literally using the same data from the same file

[gray dirge]

First locate the Universal Renderer Data asset that you are using (in Assets/Settings by default) and untick this box (shown in picture). Note that there might be multiple such assets, you should pick the one you are currently using (bit hard to check but if absolutely nothing chances visually, you are probably modifying the wrong asset)

[river steeple]

thats a great idea ty! I already do that partially but just with difficulty variation related stuff, but now that I'm familiar with SOs I could use them for most things now

[gray salmon]

this tab?:

[river steeple]

tho I wish unity's copy paste component values would work on subclasses at least so I can make this work on the short term more easily

[gray dirge]

Only if you are using the Mobile_Renderer. There should be the PC_Renderer too if you haven't removed it

[gray salmon]

found it, and it is enabled

[gray dirge]

Try to disable it (untick the toggle before the name). If something changes in the scene view, you are modifying the correct asset. See if disabling that fixes the weird lines. I'm not suggesting that you should leave it disabled. Just a way to find whether SSAO causes the lines

[gray salmon]

this is before:

and this is after:

[worldly cave]

screenshot your model import settings

in unity

[gray dirge]

Did you see even a small change in the view when you toggled it (you should even though it wouldn't affect the lines)?

[worldly cave]

model.

[gray salmon]

yeah, a small lighting change

[gray dirge]

not a SSAO issue then

[worldly cave]

see if that smoothing angle value changes anything

[gray salmon]

nothing changes

[gray dirge]

@gray salmon I would try to disable shadows next. I'm also seeing some smaller lines in the hood that could be due to shadow acne. Open Assets/Settings/PC_RPAsset.asset and disable these two checkboxes to see whether shadows might be the issue

[plain dagger]

If you change normals from import to be calculated by unity does it go away?

[gray salmon]

nothing, again

[plain dagger]

Lets presume its shadows. can be confirmed by toggling shadow casting on the mesh renderer

[gray salmon]

if i disable "cast shadows", it works

[gray salmon]

cast shadows was the issue ig

[worldly cave]

thats not a solution

[gray dirge]

It is shadows then. Try to play a little with the Bias values. They are often the cause of such acne

[worldly cave]

but you did identify the problem

[gray salmon]

oh, mb

[plain dagger]

ya jumped the gun

Shadow issues can be fixed by adjusting shadow resolution, cascades and other settings

[worldly cave]

yeah

[gray salmon]

so i enable "cast shadows", and then change the bias value?

[worldly cave]

thats why i said that just disabling cast shadows is not a solution

but it does identify the issue being with shadows

[gray dirge]

Yes, these two especially can be useful. Try not change them to some extreme values though since they can then cause some other issues

[plain dagger]

Yea we presume you want the car to cast shadows but it just means shadow settings need improving.
If you want to do some high def rendering then HDRP would be better than URP

[worldly cave]

4 cascades... in this economy?

[gray dirge]

Was the default on the PC renderer. I'm not even using main camera shadows in my game actually

[gray salmon]

looks better

[gray salmon]

how can i change HDRP to URP? and what is the difference, just the shadows or are there more pros?

[south lion]

Hello! I was trying to export some texture and model i made in blender to unity, but the textures are not correct in the model in unity...
Could anyone help me figure out whats wrong? I mean i baked the textures into emission and normal and applied but what about the center lock thingy with the SCP logo? why is that not aligned?
Please ping me, thank you!

[plain dagger]

Requires installing the package, changing the render pipeline asset configured for the project and then updating/changing all materials from old invalid shaders to HDRP ones.
May be easier to make a new HDRP project from a template instead if you are just starting.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.5/manual/index.html

[plain dagger]

make sure your materials are setup correctly and are assigned in the right order if the mesh has more than 1 material

[gray dirge]

HDRP also has downsides too, mainly the worse performance, no support on low end devices (like mobile), and more complex to learn. Choosing a render pipeline isn't a trivial choice

[south lion]

What do you mean setup correctly? I mean i thought they were, and yes it does have more than 1 material

[gray salmon]

mmh.. alr, thank you, @gray dirge and @worldly cave

[gray salmon]

@gray dirge so this is the solution?: #💻┃unity-talk message

[worldly cave]

is it acceptable to you? if so then yes thats the solution

[plain dagger]

Then you probably have them assigned in the wrong order. Check the mesh renderer component material list and compare to the model in blender.

[gray salmon]

but does this setting change smth on my other models, or not?

[south lion]

im sorry i am quite new to Unity and Blender, idk what you mean by order since i didnt really use an order..? Like i just baked the textures, assigned them to the materials, and dropped them in the different parts of the mesh.
Sorry for being a pain but i've been struggling with this for quite some time 😅

[gray dirge]

Applies to all models but you probably would need that change on other models too. It will be tradeoff. I think it at least can cause the shadows to not appear in the very base of the model but probably not a big deal. The smallest possible bias values that don't cause too much visible shadow acne (those lines) are the ones you should choose.

[plain dagger]

Ah then these should be right presuming you assigned the correct textures. What uv are you using in blender, uv0?

[gray salmon]

okay, thank you. and one last thing: every 3d model i imported to unity, had no issue with the shadows, why does it happen now? or specificly on this model?

[worldly cave]

its due to the nature of the hood design

[gray salmon]

lol

[south lion]

Maybe this coulldd be the problem but basically for me to add the Decal Logo on the locks i basically made a different UV but then mixed both textures in the Shading panel so it would give the logo and the background texture...
Also i dont really know what type of UV i used, it was the default one. also its not just the locker that is struggling with textures but the other parts too (like the bars and stuff) 😭

[worldly cave]

sounds to me like one of your materials relies on blenders nodes to work properly

you would have to bake the material into textures in order to export it into unity

[plain dagger]

A model can contain multiple UVs but uv0 (the first) is always used unless a custom shader/ shader graph is used.

[south lion]

Thats what i tried to do but it is not working

[plain dagger]

ideally you would just have this in the base texture to not need any funky business

[gray dirge]

Shadows have quite a bit of complexity to them. A lot of things like the angle relative to the light angle can affect how they appear and what kind of visual bugs might become visible. I remember seeing the same kind of acne even on the default unity cube with default shadow settings (was some time ago)

[plain dagger]

or you re create the logic in a shader graph like i stated just now

[south lion]

alright, maybe the logo having 2 different UVs wasnt the best idea, but what about the rest of the stuff? they arent working properly either.? Why tho?

[plain dagger]

using base shaders all you will get is PBR rendering with textures using the base uv

[worldly cave]

stuff like this makes me think that the correct textures arent being assigned to the materials

[gray salmon]

oh, okay. good to know, and thanks yall.
and just so u know, i changed the value to 2, hopefully its gonna stay right

[worldly cave]

or that the uvs are wrong

[plain dagger]

If you baked them out correctly for the correct uv it should work

Already said both

[worldly cave]

how many materials do you have here in total for this one mesh

[gray dirge]

Probably will be fine. More on shadow problems and how to deal with them here: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/ShadowPerformance.html

[south lion]

4 materials

the door right and left use the same one, the lock bottom and top are 2 different ones and the iron bars right and left also use the same one

[gray salmon]

thanks

[plain dagger]

You could just split the mesh up by material and then have a different uv on each
they get rendered separately anyway so no real difference perf wise

Or re think how this is done like i said above blah blah

[gray dirge]

The linked site also seems to have some example images of what kind of problems the Bias and Normal Bias values being too high could cause if you are worried. You can always play with them more later on to find a good balance.

[gray salmon]

okay, and i didnt know that the unity docs have this many solutions to everything. im going to use it for everything now

[south lion]

Uhh that sounds complicated 😭 like sorry but i still dont really understand why this is not working or what do i have to do to fix it properly ):

[plain dagger]

blender shader use uv0 AND uv1. Unity shaders use uv0 only. Need shader IN UNITY to replicate this

[worldly cave]

Okay since #🔊┃audio is completely dead, ill ask here:

Does anyone have some sort of guide for good spatial audio settings in unity? Because right now the default ones for audio sources dont sound too good and I think its because the default values are mimicking real world attenuation.

[gray frigate]

what is bad about the audio right now?

is it falling off too fast?

[plain dagger]

shader graph make shader with nodes like blender. shader graph can do same if go learn

understand?

[worldly cave]

yeah, a lot, and then if you are too close its deafeningly loud

its like 2 extremes with no good middle ground

[gray frigate]

the funny part is that this is, indeed, how audio works in real life

it just often doesn't feel good in games

[worldly cave]

yeah thats the problem lol

[south lion]

so me delete shader that i made in blender? or keep it?

[worldly cave]

and thats what i already pointed out...

"the default values are mimicking real world attenuation"

[gray frigate]

I've given my audio sources an in-between curve before

linear rolloff is too loud at a distance

[plain dagger]

shader in blender must be "re created" as shader in unity if you want to re create the use of multiple uvs + combining textures

[gray frigate]

it's easy enough to write an editor tool to calculated the curve points

[south lion]

ah damn it, is there a way i can fix it directly in Blender?

[worldly cave]

is it

[gray frigate]

No. There is no way to "export" the Blender material into Unity

[worldly cave]

you can bake it to textures

otherwise you have to recreate it in unity

dont worry though if its simple enough it should be simple enough to recreate

the shadergrap is like 80% similliar to unitys material nodes

[south lion]

i tried doing that but thats what i am saying they arent really working out

[south lion]

do you think something like this would be simple in unity?

[gray frigate]

It'd be very similar, yes

[worldly cave]

very yes

thats pretty simple

[plain dagger]

The problem is the use of uv0 and uv1 but yes in shader graph you can use the uvs you want + sample textures + combine their output

[worldly cave]

I had to recreate the one the right which was made in blender to the left which is in unity, and it helped that most of the nodes are very similar in functionality

but theres some things you have to watch out for

[plain dagger]

WAIT UP just fuckin make "decal uv" uv0 😐 @south lion

[south lion]

oh, how do i change it then? Im sorry its my first time discovering that uv0 and uv1 exist 😭

[plain dagger]

the uv list in blender is the place. we count from 0. The first one in the list is 0, second is 1.
So the solution is delete the first and see how it looks

to be extra clear, that would move the uv you are using to be uv0 meaning what shaders use to sample textures

[charred cairn]

appreciate it anyways

[south lion]

alr just did that in blender, the textures indeed look the same, ill try the emission texture bake and see how it looks in unity

[worldly cave]

tell me more

[gray frigate]

you'd just use AudioSource.SetCustomCurve to assign a new curve

use Undo.RecordObject before doing anything

the logarithmic curve is exponential

iirc it just halves the intensity every time you double the range

you could try a quadratic falloff instead

[worldly cave]

well shit

this wont work with "AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint"

[gray frigate]

oh, right

[worldly cave]

i need an actual audio source on everything first

this is what i get

[gray frigate]

because that creates an ephemeral audio source

[worldly cave]

my laziness got me here

now i have to fucking refactor everything to include an actual audio source 😔

[gray frigate]

there is no convenient way to access the created audio source

[worldly cave]

yeah i just checked

theres no way at all

[gray frigate]

at least, no sensible method

beyond iterating over all audio sources

[plain dagger]

time to have your own pool!

[gray frigate]

yeah, that should be pretty trivial to pool

[worldly cave]

yeah i figured that a pool would work well and save me some trouble

[gray frigate]

unity already has an object pool class

[worldly cave]

whats another singleton to my 30 singletons

[gray frigate]

the unity engine is the ultimate singleton 😉

[south lion]

dude alright, this is def some progress, but still the same problem i talked before.. like seriously what is happening my head hurts 😭

[plain dagger]

Im going to presume you used the other uv on the other materials. Undo to get the old uv back and split the mesh in to seperate pieces so each only has ONE uv in it.
use the separate op: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/editing/mesh/separate.html

Im sure you can check and work out what materials use what UV

[south lion]

btw im guessing this could be a problem...
the way i did it was i had a texture with all those uvs, and then i used another UV with a different texture and mixed them both using the mix color node in the shaders...

when u say split you mean like, the left door and right door and stuff like that? cuz some of them are already separated

[plain dagger]

I dont have the model so I have no idea. I dont want to see it anyway, you hopefully can sort this yourself

solutions are the same:

• change mesh + textures to work with 1 uv only
• use shader graph in unity to re create the blender shaders in unity

So, where do i go ask for help with something?

How should i spawn Ui canvas objects in at certain points should i have empty objects and spawn it at the location of those empty objects?

[potent geyser]

If you have no other reference object, sure.

[mighty helm]

I m not getting that "input" in the drop down list

Is there something i m missing?

[oak meadow]

So if i want to add the player being able to set where their joystick and stuff is would i have a reference object and then set the location based off the location of that object I made a canvas object a prefab and when i put it in the scene the location was not where it was saved as a prefab

[slow dirge]

What "that input"? What do you expect to see?

[mighty helm]

nvm i solved the problem

Actually when i type "input" there was no autofill option

[slow dirge]

Why would there be..?

[mighty helm]

i can't even explain why would be there coz I m new to this thing I m just following this tuto

[slow dirge]

What tutorial? And if it's related to a tutorial, then you should share it along your question.

[mighty helm]

nvm 😄

my problem got solved

[slow dirge]

I mean, just telling you for future reference, so that you ask for help correctly next time.

[mighty helm]

it's okay I will do

[cyan lion]

is it okay to use ai for coding? i like to make assets in 3d and am strictly against ai generated content and mesh generation in that regard. same for music. but for coding i ended up using LLMs to generate code for specific things. i dont have a cs degree (yet). i didnt study maths or physics on a level required for gameplay programing. i know few languages but c# is the only one which i know how to make things other than console applications. i feel i deeply benifit from ai as it does exactly what i tell it to and generates the code, but i also love the craft of game making and it includes manual programing and problem solving. so i ask again is it okay to use ai for coding in unity?

there is no university study required for coding. you can learn anything online!

using AI for generating anything is looked down upon even coding

it does exactly what i tell it to and generates the code
once you start doing anything more complicated it will very much not be behaving

if you cant understand what it outputs then that's already a very very bad start and definitely should not be using ai

[keen spindle]

Hii guys

[acoustic forum]

hey :))

[keen spindle]

Hi

[acoustic forum]

hruu

[keen spindle]

Im new to this server

[acoustic forum]

same here lol

[keen spindle]

Oh wow

Do you know rblx play it?

[acoustic forum]

i do know it but cant play rnn

tryna get my code to work

[keen spindle]

Why though?

Ok

[cyan lion]

i heard these days tech companies allow there employees to use ai during interview i s it true

[cyan lion]

welcome

[fleet canopy]

yes the same companies that don’t care about what they produce, like microsoft

[cyan lion]

what is wrong with this function

[storm patio]

you tell us, what's the issue

[cyan lion]

it is not pulling objects

[storm patio]

do some debugging - which point does the code reach? is the Move code being reached at all?

is the rigidbody in question dynamic or kinematic?

[cyan lion]

wait a sec i am in a different scene doing some lighting tests

i will check it once i am done

but as i remember the gameobject acts weird and just moves at weird places outside colliders

this is whats happening when i press grab (e)

[storm patio]

right so Move is for kinematic rigidbodies iirc

also, what exactly is the issue? what's it supposed to do?

[cyan lion]

Move the rigid body game objects with tag "interactable" towards arm of player floating. Kinda like gravity gun from half life 2

[cyan lion]

Will ticking is kinematic fix the issue?

Let me check

NO IT DIDNT

i knew it cant be that easy
