i want the object to physically move from its position towards the palm

like a strong electromagnet would pull

[storm patio]

so you'd want a kind of force pulling towards that position then

a single Move call would move within a fixedupdate

[cyan lion]

thats what i did

[storm patio]

you're still making it move to the position within a single fixed update

[cyan lion]

but it is called multiple times right?

with physics frames or whatever

[storm patio]

do you want it to teleport to your hand every physics tick?

[cyan lion]

I want it to teleport to my hand when i press E. i would prefer it to physically move instead of just teleporting to make it believable. it is an electromagnet to a telekenetic machine. also wdym by single fixed update where else should i call the function from? what wrong with calling it in fixed update.

[storm patio]

what wrong with calling it in fixed update.
that's the not the issue, the issue is how you're moving it, with Move, directly to the desired position

if you want it to physically move, you need to have it move to intermediate positions first, which you can calculate yourself, or you could use AddForce for (for example)

[cyan lion]

also i am getting like >10 fps

[dusky forum]

That's a lot of fps. 99999 > 10

[glass depot]

im not an expert like at all but have you tried addforce? ive never had issues with addforce on rbs

[brisk anvil]

Hey, I am rotating an object which on the parent object I have an animator.
The animator root motion is disabled and all clips don't have root motion as well.
the object doesn't get rotated unless I move the animator a child down to that object I'm trying to rotate, then it does work.

Why is that? I got root motion off, the object should get animated and rotate at the same time.

[cyan lion]

15-10

[cyan lion]

funny

[cyan lion]

ok let me try

didnt work either.

plus i am getting lighting issues out of nowhere

[gusty abyss]

What is Unity Ai and how it works in the editor or on the web can anyone explain

[thorn imp]

wdym, AI Navigation?

cuz there is something called the AI package in the Unity Registry

[arctic portal]

how do i change the target spline in a splineanimate component through code?

[deft rock]

Unity AI is (or was?) called 'Muse' .. it's their generative AI

[deft rock]

#📢┃announcements message

[cobalt sequoia]

Is the position of the camera its center cuz I made a ray cast from the camera pos in the transform.forward direction but it was not aligning with the crossbar which I put in the middle

[gusty abyss]

see #📢┃announcements about AI its not muse i think its a new AI for unity related tasks

[deft rock]

Yes, that is why I did the strikeout.. and if you go read the site it links to, you'll see that Muse has been sunset and AI is a new thing to replace it.

[deft rock]

Select the camera object and look at it in the scene view, you can see the pivot and the frustrum. The pivot is in the middle of the frustrum near plane

[cobalt sequoia]

Thx gonna try

[delicate sandal]

Does any of you guys know how to solve this issue for Unity 4.6.5 ? I simply can´t get past it, as I click ok, it just closes
I downloaded it from this official link : https://discussions.unity.com/t/early-unity-versions-downloads/927331

[tropic oyster]

If I'm using tilemaps for my terrain model, does it make sense to have like 4 of them or am I doing something wrong. Like I have an impassable layer with collision, passible and background without collision, and crops. Each has an underlying "GridManager" class I wrote and there is a higher level orchestrating TerrainManager class. Wondering if this seems like a reasonable pattern.

[hazy wraith]

In the Build Profiles how can I copy the scene list from one Build Profile to another? Need to create a profile for Linux, otherwise I'd just have duplicated the profile.

• Nvm, did it with text editor...

[orchid cipher]

where is ban appeal server ??

[signal vigil]

Our game features this banana ball. Since the ball has to roll, the pivot remains in the middle so it's easy to rotate. This causes issues down the line though, as sprite sorting order for all other objects is set to their feet. This causes sprite occluding to behave weird when it comes to the ball (or other ball shapes sprites).

The sprite sort modes are center or pivot, but I probably neither can nor want to change the sprites pivot itself during runtime, rigth? I assume this is a common problem, but don't see what Unitys intended approach is. Any ideas?

[plain dagger]

You probably want to use sorting layers to ensure layering is consistent instead.
E.g foreground, player, background

[signal vigil]

But inside one layer I want the objects to be sorted along Y, so this does not change much of the problem unfortunately.

[deft rock]

Put the ball under an empty parent. Put the pivot of the parent at the "feet", keep the pivot off the ball in the middle. Move the parent, rotate the ball.

[tropic oyster]

If I want to spawn an ItemBase prefab and populate it with data from an ItemData scriptableObject should I use the factory pattern?

And what would be the best way to retreive an arbitrary ItemData? I'm currently using a registry that does a one-time Resources.Load on things but that seems too coupled

[cyan lion]

idk how will i code the electromagnet mechanic

i will need help

[cyan lion]

how do i code it properly

[tropic oyster]

An invisible cylinder collider surrounding the base object. Use that cylinder for collisions and calculate force by distance to central line of cylinder

[worldly cave]

the what

[cyan lion]

i want the interactable object to move approximately in front of the arm

[tropic oyster]

wut

[worldly cave]

to me this sounds like an x and y problem

[cyan lion]

ok that cylinder would be parented to the arm? how is it any different?

[tropic oyster]

I have no idea what the end goal of any of this is. I was offering suggestions but the problem has been poorly defined

[worldly cave]

i think you should just tell us what you are trying to acomplish

this is almost certainly a xy issue and we have no clear context as to what is being done here

[tropic oyster]

oh wait its here

[cyan lion]

something like gravity gun

[worldly cave]

okay so you want to recreate something that works like the gravity gun from half life 2?

thats the starting point here?

[signal vigil]

Thank you. I didn't think of the Sorting Group component. I think thats what you meant 😄

[cyan lion]

yes but its a robot arm and using electromagnets to pull. and instead of object staying in front of the gun it should stay in front of the robotic fist

[worldly cave]

right

so the gravity gun

ok

[deft rock]

No, it's not what I meant 🙂

[worldly cave]

so break your problem down into sizeable chunks...
a. you need some kind of target acquisition system
b. a pull system that would let you attract objects to players control
c. a hold, that lets you keep the object suspended in front of the player.

[signal vigil]

Adding an empty sprite renderer did nothing. Not sure what you meant then haha. But it seems works so I won't complain haha

[worldly cave]

what part here are you stuck on

[tropic oyster]

Not sure how you are doing it. But I would have a point that is the endpoint. Calculate the distance from the object to the endpoint. Apply a force as a function of the distance. And as it gets closer it just approaches a force that counteracts gravity

[cyan lion]

i have an acquisition system ready it sends a ray cast on pressing e in the direction of camera's transform.forward. i am stuck in trying to make the pull.

[worldly cave]

you could do something like

force = normalize(anchorPoint - objectPosition)  * gravityGunStrength

you would then apply this force on the target object

maybe with an optional strength variable as well

[deft rock]

This isn't clear on what you actually did..

Anyway,
I didn't say add an empty sprite renderer.. I said give the ball an empty parent. This is a commonly used term for Unity.

Any empty parent is just a gameobject+transform and nothing else.
You then drag another gameobject to it (ie: your ball) and thus making this a child.

When the parent moves, the child moves. You can then have 2 pivots to work with.

I don't dev 2d, so there may be more needed that's missing, but this should be something to look into

[worldly cave]

the anchor point being whatever point you want the object to go to i.e the end of the gun

[cyan lion]

i already tried it

[tropic oyster]

couldn't you do like new Vector3(x * gunStrength, y * gunStrength + 9.8, z * gunStrength) where x and z correspond to the vector between center of object to endpoint

[worldly cave]

and what happened

[tropic oyster]

what's the actual bad behavior occuring

[worldly cave]

where is it breaking

also either that code or those comments are very obviously ai generated 🧐

[tropic oyster]

Anyone have any ideas on this

[cyan lion]

this is happening

[cyan lion]

good observation.

[worldly cave]

yeah well good luck, im here to help people not clean up broken ai generated code for them:)

[tropic oyster]

magnet seems not strong enough to lift it

[cyan lion]

people can write broken code too

[worldly cave]

yeah and im very happy to help people who try their hardest but fall short of getting it done

like i said, im here to help people, not clean up code made by a hallucination machine

[cyan lion]

i just needed help i thought ai would help me but it did not

[tropic oyster]

ai just glazes me on this lol, that's why I came here. To get real feedback lol

[naive cloud]

do singletons survive scene changes?

[cyan lion]

so increasing the force is the next option?

[deft rock]

Depends how you've coded it

If you've added the DDOL, yes, if you haven't, no.

[worldly cave]

if they are marked with "dontdestroyonload" then yes

[tropic oyster]

yeah

[worldly cave]

also this is an obvious one but they have to exist in the scene as well they cant be like static only

[naive cloud]

yeah just trying to figure out why my hud doesn't find my playerobject after a scene change

    {
        activeOther=false;
        playerObj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
        scriptsToDisable = new MonoBehaviour[]{
            playerObj.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>(),
            playerObj.GetComponent<ViewmodelScript>()};
    }```

Even though I've done this in it's Start method

Sorry for the code here

[tropic oyster]

does the gameobject have that tag

[naive cloud]

yeah

It does find it on the first scene, but doesn't on an exact copy of the same scene

No clue why

[deft rock]

Is that object active in the scene when this code runs?

[naive cloud]

yep

[tropic oyster]

my guess is race condition

[naive cloud]

Yeah I think so too, I could try this with Awake

[tropic oyster]

non-deterministic/asynchronous initialization is kinda a pain lol

[cyan lion]

i lack knowledge in physics and mathematics for serious game dev. i tried to fill that gap with ai. but now i have realized its all useless. i feel like giving up what i do.

[deft rock]

are you doing multi-scene loading?
Or are the hud and player object in each scene?

[cyan lion]

unity is stuck after i made a code change while playing the game

[tropic oyster]

with exception to quaternions, the physics required for game dev is very learnable

I've taken several college level physics classes and still don't understand quaternions

[naive cloud]

Each scene has a hud and player object

not sure if this is the best practice but

[deft rock]

Not the best no, but it's one way.

But, why do the find then? If two objects are in the scene together, then it's best to expose a field and assign it in the inspector

[worldly cave]

yeah unless you initialize either one later

[naive cloud]

Yeah I could do that, just thought it was the same thing except a bit safer

[worldly cave]

i mean i would still keep this as a back up

[cyan lion]

i remember reading about gimbal lock

[worldly cave]

assign it manually but in case you dont have it try and find it on its own

[naive cloud]

Would it be better if I made the HUDs (basically anything UI) and the Player survive a scene change/reload?

Kind of making them all singletons

[deft rock]

There's no right answer here. I know absolutely nothing about your game and would what be best for it.

My first thing I'd do with UI (if warranted) is give it it's own scene, I'd probably still have a UI manager as a singleton, but not DDOL, and use multiscene loading... just loading/ unloading the game environment.

[deft rock]

assigning in the inspector is safer and "better", yes

[naive cloud]

Alright thank you all for the help

[deft rock]

I've been calling it multiscene loading, but the correct term is 'additive' - if you're not aware of it and need to google

[lapis gate]

alternatively just make a load scene and tag your objects that you want to move to other scenes with
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

[silent mica]

I wouldn't rush to add this sort of complexity until you have a reason for it.

[deft rock]

the additive loading is alternative to the DDOL..

[lapis gate]

I feel like additive is more proper than DDOL ;p

[deft rock]

DDOL was already spoken of earlier

[lapis gate]

oh I missed that my bad

[sly lake]

Interestingly it says they'll announce pricing when Unity 6.2 is out...

Isn't 6.3 the latest version already?

[prisma needle]

ye

[naive cloud]

Can someone explain this to me?

I'm trying to make it so that each level gets loaded in the first scene.

For some reason it loads the lighting wrong (I use lighting from some youtube video, I don't remember the details)

MainScene doesn't have a light object

(When I select each scene it changes the lighting)

And now it changed behavior and it would stay as the right image even if i clicked on the first scene

It simply happens when I try to load the scene additively

[deft rock]

Lighting is taken from the active scene only, the first scene loaded is automatically the active scene.

You can set the active scene to the one you want, so after loading you'll need to do that in code.

[naive cloud]

Is there a way to copy the way light shows up from one scene to another? (I am planning to make all levels load on the first scene, with the lighting of the image on the left)

Sorry for too many questions

Might have just found how to do that

yeah sorry abt that

[opal glacier]

anyone using unity on cachyos/arch linux? I can't make children or prefabs.

[inner patio]

Thanks

[deft rock]

#🐧┃linux

[tropic oyster]

What is the proper way to instantiate assets?
I have an ItemBase prefab that gets populated from ItemData scriptableObject.
I'm thinking I need an ItemFactory. But even then, how do I load the ItemData objects?
Is a central registry bad practice?

[late viper]

Yo how do i get the Android thing on openxr

[stuck flower]

A factory object seems like a decent enough pattern. It's going to come down to what makes sense - what kind of scripts would most likely want to deal with these prefabs? For example, if it makes sense for your "Shop" script to just pop the items into being when you buy them, it could handle spawning them.

As for loading the SOs, putting them in Resources so you can load them through code is a decent enough pattern. They're a lot less heavy than most assets so the issues of them always being included in a load aren't as big of a deal, so the downsides of Resources are lower for SOs than other kinds of assets.

[formal valve]

A couple questions about lighting. We're using URP and Rendering Layers, and want to prevent a player's own light from hitting them or casting shadows from them.

• Is there a way to exclude a rendering layer from a certain light? Our player is on the Default and Player layers, and ideally we want to tell the light "affect the Default layer, but don't affect anything with the Player layer." Ideally, we'd like to avoid setting the player to only the Player layer, because that'd require changing every other light in the game to affect both the Default and Player layers. Alternatively, if there's a way to exclude a specific mesh from a specific light.
• This same question applies for the URP Decal Projector. Right now, we're planning on applying a "Receive Decals" layer to every piece of environment, but it'd be much easier if we were able to say "apply decal to the Default layer, but don't affect anything with the Player layer"

(I'm pretty sure the answer to both of the above is just "nope", but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask)

• A different fix for the first issue, we may just increase the Shadows Near Plane for the player's light. This mostly works, but does sometimes cut off shadows for nearby objects too. Is there any way to "fade in" a light's shadows starting at the near plane, so it at least isn't an abrupt cutoff?

[deft rock]

#1390346776804069396 for lighting questions

[tropic oyster]

My current system does a one-time load of ScriptableObjects into a dictionary in a Singleton that allows them to be referenced by string id. I'm using it for example in a WorldTile class that represents a data layer of a tile on a tilemap. When the user calls Tile.Break() for example it will spawn Items based on a LootTable.

[worldly cave]

also yes your only option here would be to change the layers and adjust all the lights

unitys rendering layer system is inclusion only

[stuck flower]

That's definitely a good way to go about it. Better than Resources but a bit more complicated so I wasn't quite wanting to suggest it, but if that's what you're already doing, keep doing that.

In this specific example, it could see whatever script holds the loot tables be responsible for instantiating the prefab, but having that script call out to some other singleton prefab manager is just as valid. If there's multiple ways to spawn the same item, a "Factory" singleton is a good use case

[tropic oyster]

Yeah, I think ultimately centralizing where possible makes things a bit easier for multiplayer purposes as well.

[formal valve]

Ah, thanks, I didn't realize I didn't have all the channels in my channel list

[naive cloud]

If I use a gameinitiator and load singletons one by one, is this a good idea?

*Objects from which some are singletons

[deft rock]

The answer to "good idea" for many of the questions youve asked today are pretty - it depends.

Is it solving a problem you have? -> yes good idea

[copper gust]

Though in some situations it’s not strictly better as it requires a live singleton vs. resources stuff could potentially be done in any scene/ regardless of scene

[stuck flower]

Everything has tradeoffs

The most important part is to pick a system that makes sense to you

[flat breach]

hi, how can I prevent the upper ceiling to reflect the light this way? it's an area light which means it should only lighten its direction(down) no?

[copper gust]

#1202574086115557446

[prisma needle]

shi sry

[worldly cave]

thats not how an area light works

youre thinking of a spot light

[flat breach]

OHHH right I forgot

[worldly cave]

Spot Light, a Light that’s located at a point in the Scene and emits light in a cone shape
Directional Light, a Light that’s located infinitely far away and emits light in one direction only
Area Light, a Light that’s defined by a rectangle or disc in the Scene, and emits light in all directions uniformly across its surface area but only from one side of the rectangle or disc```

from the unity api

[flat breach]

I'll try adding a light 3d model, it might kinda hide it

spot lights don't look well here..

[copper gust]

Why

[rancid lake]

Heya guys, my Unity freezes for a sec when loading/playing a new Song

Is this normal? Should I be preloading it somehow?

I assume it's from loading the song into memory and not specifically playing it

I already have it linked to a GO in the scene so I imagined it was already preloaded when the scene started

[worldly cave]

what does your profiler say

[rancid lake]

SoundManager.LoadFMODSound = 274 ms

Just not sure the right way to get around that. Thought having the asset in the scene did it

[worldly cave]

are you using fmod banks?

for stuff like music or any "long" sounds ideally you would be streaming them rather than loading them all at once

[rancid lake]

I mean I just did clip = source, and Play() lol

Is that a compression format or a diff audio component?

How do you guys handle ui? because i think i've been doing it wrong. I'm trying to set my ui elements pivot points to corners, but since they only listen to their parents i'm having issues.

[rancid lake]

use three backticks: ` the symbol on your ~ key

[pearl oyster]

#📲┃ui-ux but looks like you should split the UI into separate canvases. So BattleUI should be a canvas instead of a UI element

[balmy palm]

Will do.

[deft rock]

Not sure what you mean by "only listen to their parents".

UI parents only control their children when there's some layout component on the gameobject, otherwise the children control their own position.

What you want to do to get something to stick to a corner of it's parent is, open the anchor dropdown like you did, hold shift when you click the corner, this will move the pivot to that corner and anchor to the corner of the parent. Then set the pos x/ y to 0,0

[candid anvil]

I would like to explore what game dev world can offer, which tutorials would you recommend that can explain basics and are worth watching. I see there are a lot of tutorials on unity hub, but are they all worth investing time to watch? I have no specific idea right now which genre I would develop. First small solo project would be simple games after I finish those tutorials. Tnx in advanced 😄

Weird request but does anyone know of any YouTube videos/channels that are actually building real games from the very beginning? Not tutorials but just raw footage of someone putting something together from the very beginning?

Looking for long form content to put on my 2nd monitor while at my day job to help keep my exposure to Unity/C# up while doing my boring day job

[balmy palm]

Yeah, my whole structure just didn't have that in mind.

i should've created canvas's not just empty rect transforms

luckily i named everything properly so it shouldn't be a big deal to reinarrange everything.

[deft rock]

It can be ok to use empty rect transforms (just depends on various things). But you need to make the size of it correct for the area you want it to be, ie: stretch to full screen

[balmy palm]

Yeah. I can also guess it would be less performance heavy giving it a niche purpose if for example you wanted a constant screensize for your game. And a small performance boost

Which i didn't so i should've known this would be a problem. I just had the wrong structure for the wrong idea.

[plush horizon]

Hey everyone,

I'm new here, and I'd like to introduce myself.
I'm a versatile game developer with experience and skills.
I'd like to make good connections and be useful for various projects.

Can I share my website link here? Or is that not allowed?

[worldly cave]

theres no collab postings here, you can share any current projects in progress in #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344

Oh, okay, of course, thanks. I'll try. I'm open to conversations. Are there any interesting projects going on right now?

[ripe sphinx]

is it at all practical to actually resolve merge conflicts in unity files?

[plain dagger]

Unity has a YAML merge tool but i never got it to work well
Usually I try to use lots of prefabs in scenes (and large prefabs) to reduce the chances of merge conflicts you cant resolve with loosing data

[ripe sphinx]

is it open source?

or is it part of their unity source control stuff that oyu need a license for?

[plain dagger]

its an executable already included with the editor install
I think they have a doc page that somewhat talks about it

[ripe sphinx]

i found it

i'm still a bit confused about how to use it though

and rather how it may work

whelp im trying to abort the rebase again and it's failing

[frosty sparrow]

I have a MainCamera (culling mask: everything except "UI") and a child stacked UICamera (culling mask: "UI") and a canvas set to screenspace overlay - camera, rendering UICamera. All of this is in DontDestroyOnLoad. When I load a new scene, this setup gets mangled, MainCamera suddenly renders everything, and the canvas switches to render to maincamera. (so all of my ui suddenly gets postprocessing distorted) . anyone know why this might be happening? My newly loaded scene has no cameras in it (no unity cameras, it has cinemachine (virtual) cameras)

[rancid helm]

anyone uses websockets for multiplayer? i guess it is way easier to use for a small game

[plain dagger]

you can but for unity - unity much better solutions exist

[cobalt sequoia]

there was nothing abiut how to apply the effect

[frosty sparrow]

I'm dumb, it was my own code.

[ripe sphinx]

ok so i'm using the merge tool

but then it's giving me some other conflicts and then it opens my merge editor

and idk what to do

because there's 3 temp files

[rocky arrow]

I have some procedurally generated meshes. I converted them to FBXes, and tried to bake my scene, but that results in some artifacts after baking. How would I tackle this? These meshes don't have UVs.

I saw this, https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/troubleshooting-lightmapping-artifacts.html
on which I tried auto generating lightmap UVs from model import settings, but Unity seems to just...crash after that

[plain dagger]

If using something like source tree it produces a backup copy I think i forget, the names should kinda tell you what they are.

[plain dagger]

Could be the mesh data is invalid somewhere meaning it causes the crash during uv generation. I forget if there is an import option to remove invalid data.
You can also try importing and re exporting the model in 3d software to fix the file (e.g blender)

also fyi unity has glb/gltf support via the glfast package

[rocky arrow]

The fbx was opened and cleaned in blender. I don't htink there's an option to clean invalid data, it just does that automatically

[rocky arrow]

I know, but not sure how that would help?

[plain dagger]

said incase you bothered to convert from it to fbx

[plain dagger]

nah i dont mean blender does, we can expect 3d software to be more robust in importing bad data and once in it should then export fine

[rocky arrow]

Got it. well...its exported from blender, and still fails 🥲
Even tried via Unwrapping.GenerateSecondaryUVSet(mesh);

[plain dagger]

you can also just make lightmapping uvs in blender in uv1 (second uv channel) and export the model

Ive had some fbx models crash unity when using this option too but i forget what we ended up doing

[rocky arrow]

I guess ill try that

[livid oxide]

i have a questions i have png images andi have them in my projects buti cant drag them to hieharchy jpg works burt not png ?

how to enable this thing when you already selected the 2D template? I always had to delete the project and create a new 3D project just because I dont have this

[reef patrol]

Should bullet sprites be designed as full cartridge and bullet? (2d game) I see people doing this often and im assuming its for visual clarity and easier to see, but it does feel odd

[slow dirge]

It seems like it's disabled in 2d mode, but you can switch to 3d mode without creating a new project:

how do I full screen that is actually imitates a built game full screen, not just engine full screen ?

it occurs to me that i might've build the UI too big as Im out of space with just few elements

[balmy kettle]

you wouldn't need true full screen to test that. just make sure your game view is set to the desired resolution/aspect ratio you plan to target and you can see how the UI will appear

[pastel sequoia]

there is ~15% border space that i'd like to feel/test, so its not possible ?

[slow dirge]

I don't think it's possible. Would need to make a build.

[dense pivot]

Hi guys, can you help me? why my unity **always **back to its original state?
On the video i open dummy character, after stop playing, unity back to sprite editor that shows tileset. This bug driving me crazy.

im using unity 6.3.0f1 LTS

[storm patio]

huh, didn't realize you could do that with the sprite editor. what if you close it and reopen it from the player sprite?

[dense pivot]

not working, whenever i reopen or stop playing unity, it always open the same project window and selecting random tileset sprite >:

[storm patio]

have you tried restarting unity?

[dense pivot]

okay i fixed it: reopen the tile palette tab

[vapid cypress]

Hey, I have this textmeshpro. when I click play, it's no longer visible. Does anyone know what's up?

Editor version is unity 6.2.14f1

[balmy kettle]

is it within the bounds of your canvas

[vapid cypress]

yes

I think?

[balmy kettle]

if you are unsure, then show the hierarchy and scene view with the canvas selected and gizmos enabled

[vapid cypress]

Okay

[balmy kettle]

well from this too-cropped screenshot, it looks like it's in the very bottom left of the canvas

[vapid cypress]

that would seem to be the case

[balmy kettle]

you should check the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how the canvas works

[vapid cypress]

the canvas appears to be really large and fixed in place

[balmy kettle]

yes, because that is how a screen space overlay canvas works. again, documentation in #📲┃ui-ux

[vapid cypress]

thank you

Okay, I understand now. I was able to get my message onto the screen. Thank you!

[sleek forum]

if you have a gameobject set inactive and you have a script attached to it, when you run the game will that script not run too?

[balmy kettle]

right, the component will act as if it is disabled until the gameobject is set active

[sleek forum]

oh thanks!

[turbid finch]

why newtonsoft json not working with webGL build it is giving me this error

[gusty abyss]

Should I use the New input system if I plan to port to Consoles and only use the Old input system if im pc only?

[tawny prawn]

I think both have the same target platform coverage. The difference is more in flexibility you get when mapping / configuring input during development VS the more boilerplate / less direct workflow you get as the developer with the input system

[sly lake]

You should not use the old input system.

Casual reminder that the Azerty keyboard layout exists, is popular, and your WASD is now all over the place.

You need support for remapping, especially on PC.

[gusty abyss]

Nobody uses Azerty keyboards

You might want the level scene as the active one for reasons im forgetting

hi,

I am making a game where you need to extinguish burning buildings.
every time a building gets burned down, the player loses a heart.
for the loss of hearts, there is a short animation where it ascends.
I succed on that, but it happens a lot that a building gets destroyed while one of the hearts is still being removed.
I added a boolean, IsRemovingHeart, for preventing another building from dying until the heart is completely removed.
It works, but now the last heart will not be removed.

can someone help me?

Probuilder and external modeling tools

I post semi frequently in #🏆┃daily-win

Does probuilder accept external meshes? I thought it was just a fixed cube that you could reshape

[worldly cave]

You can just place the meshes normally in the scene...

Along side the probuilder stuff

Probuilder is just there for you to block out your level

I mean guess that's fair, i've never used probuilder (since i do 2d) but assume you meant from there

what is that for? I tried reading up on it but it doesn't make much sense to me

no

not all

[lapis gate]

there's a few different variations

[radiant pewter]

oh...

[lapis gate]

I recall the ui toolkit having some decent options for text modifications like outlining, but otherwise there's always assets on the store

usually I just rasterize any heavy modified text and use that instead of tmp

Every time i try to assign a cinemachine brain component to my main camera, it stops my camera zoom code from working. I need cinemachine attatched to the main camera because i'm trying to make it so that the camera can't go out of bounds.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class CameraZOOM : MonoBehaviour

private Camera _camera;
private float zoomtarget;

    zoomtarget = _camera.orthographicSize;

#🎥┃cinemachine

[stuck flower]

If you're using Cinemachine you're not going to be modifying values of the actual Camera.

That's the whole point of Cinemachine

You modify fields on the virtual cameras and they handle messing with the actual camera

[soft forge]

the player needs to be able to control the camera with the scroll wheel

[stuck flower]

I don't know how that changes anything I've just said

I can see that's what the code's doing

[soft forge]

i'm quite new to coding by the way i'm not trying to be awkward

[stuck flower]

Cinemachine modifies the camera values.

Not your code

Your code should be modifying the virtual camera

[soft forge]

also when i type using Cinemachine; it doesn't recognise the command for some reason

idk if it changed it's name

[balmy kettle]

you can look at the documentation to see what namespace the types you are using are in

If so, you will need to add the Cinemachine asmdef to whichever one this script belongs to

[soft forge]

i don't know, is that in project management?

could i search for it?

[balmy kettle]

it's important to note that the namespace has changed in cm 3.0

[worldly cave]

you typically google it

for most things

sometimes theres a pdf in the project files

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/index.html

[stuck flower]

Ah, has it? I guess my project's still on 2.x

[balmy kettle]

yeah, it's now more uniform with other unity packages by starting with Unity.

[soft forge]

AH!!! This helped

I typed using Unity.Cinemachine; and it worked

also brb

[balmy kettle]

instead of just guessing based on comments not directed towards you, try reading the documentation

[worldly cave]

rtfm

[stuck flower]

To be fair, I went looking for it myself and they really make you jump through hoops to actually find the latest version of the documentation. The old one has too much SEO

[worldly cave]

read the friendly manual

[stuck flower]

Links all kept going back to 2.x

[cosmic igloo]

i don’t usually like saying this but when you can literally put “cinemachine namespace” into a search engine and get the answer u rly dont have to guess

[stuck flower]

Yeah, that's also fair. I was going off of the path of "I know I need a Cinemachine Virtual Camera, what namespace is that in?" and tried to find it from a Virtual Camera documentation page

[cosmic igloo]

Most of what Ive learned from unity was from google search

[balmy kettle]

to be fair, searching for Virtual Camera is pretty much bound to take you to cm 2.0 docs because that has also been renamed in 3.0, it's just CinemachineCamera now

[cosmic igloo]

which tends to return quicker than people on a discord

[stuck flower]

[balmy kettle]

3.0 had a lot of breaking changes, the kind of changes I wish they'd bring to the engine because it's more inline with other packages and c# standards

[pale coyote]

need help guys. so i was working on a school project. i used emission materials in blender to light up the room however it wasnt working out in unity so i tried using global illumination but i cant figure it out. im using version 6.2 HDRP. pls help

[midnight raven]

Hi

[sly lake]

I think that's the SSGI screwing you 😅

You should bake the probe volumes

Or go with ray tracing

Basically SSGI only uses information that's on-screen, so once the emissive materials are off-screen, the lighting is gone.

[midnight raven]

I dont know but i to trust you

You can do it bro

[cold folio]

Guys.. How did this hapen...

holdup

[midnight raven]

What

[cold folio]

The problem is that the scene did not boot like the intended scene

but rather it's just a bunch of blocks

[cosmic igloo]

doesnt look like a bunch of blocks to me

[cold folio]

Never mind it fixed

[boreal river]

I was wondering what this lock icon does in unity just notice that?

[worldly cave]

Locks the inspector

[boreal river]

what that means?

[worldly cave]

means if you click on another asset in your scene or project it wont change the inspector

[boreal river]

I can't understand XD

If I lock what it does?

[worldly cave]

"if you click on another asset in your scene or project it wont change the inspector"

[boreal river]

asset which asset?

[worldly cave]

lets say you click on asset number 1

[boreal river]

in project?

[worldly cave]

it opens the inspector for that asset

[boreal river]

in project window

[worldly cave]

then you lock it

and click on asset 2

wow wow asset 1 is still in the inspector

[gray frigate]

scene objects or assets, yes

the inspector displays the properties of whatever is currently selected

[boreal river]

I have tried to experiment nothing happens

I lock and unlock

[gray frigate]

well, yes, because you didn't do anything after locking it

you just unlocked it immediately

[rancid lake]

Hey guys, why are my tilemap tiles so small? If I adjust their scale (x is 2) it fits but then the collider stays small

[gray frigate]

lock it and select another object

[rancid lake]

What's the proper way to size them?

[gray frigate]

Your PPU -- pixels-per-unit -- value is probably incorect

this is a property of the texture importer

[soft forge]

okay so when i replace my "Camera" keyword with "CinemachineCamera" the script no longer recognizes orthographicSize... what wound i replace this with??

[gray frigate]

it tells Unity how many pixels from the image are meant to take up one unit of space in the world

Suppose your tiles are 2 units wide and your textures have a resolution of 32x32

In this case, your PPU value should be 16

16 pixels per unit means that a 32 pixel image takes up 2 units of space

[gray frigate]

you'll want to configure this on the individual texture assets that the sprites are being imported from

[radiant pewter]

anyone else having issues with LiberationSans font randomly deciding it doesn't have ellipsis, so your TMP overflow mode changes to Truncate automatically?

[rancid lake]

Perfect, thankyou

[gray frigate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.0/api/Unity.Cinemachine.CinemachineCamera.html#fields

you'll want the Lens field

this contains the relevant properties

[pale coyote]

Ray tracing it is I guess

[gray frigate]

is there a reason you can't bake your global illumination here?

if you're not sure what that means, check this part of the manual out:

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/LightingOverview.html

Lighting is a very large topic and there's a lot to learn about

Baked GI simulates how light bounces around your scene and records it into:

• light maps, for static surfaces
• light probes, for moving objects

(light probes may be replaced by the new Adaptive Probe Volume system; they have the same general purpose)

What you have here is realtime GI -- screen-space realtime GI, in particular

[marsh viper]

When importing a map into a unity some of the walls become transparent. Can you help me?

[gray frigate]

how are you doing this?

are you importing a model file (e.g. an FBX)?

[marsh viper]

by doing open scane

[gray frigate]

that just opens an existing scene asset; you aren't really "importing" anything at that point

regardless: if some walls are completely missing, check if they're visible from the other side

[marsh viper]

how should i do

[gray frigate]

if so, the model has the faces pointing the wrong way

[marsh viper]

I have a good map, in fact.

[marsh viper]

Do I need to receive it as a JSON file?

[gray frigate]

i don't know what you're actually doing right now, so I can't really say anything

explain where you're getting this "map" from

[marsh viper]

I'm creating an SCP sly map,btw.

From my friend who makes SCP Sly maps

[gray frigate]

secret laboratory, you mean?

[marsh viper]

yep

this server doesn't support game modding; you're going to want to find a community that knows how SCP:SL modding works

[marsh viper]

thanks

Alright

[violet inlet]

could anyone help me im brand new to unity and i got a 2d sprite a rigid body to D and a box collider set up as well as a ground it's a 2-D platformer game I'm trying to create and the gravity works perfectly fine but then the moment I put a script on the player to move it and make it jump and stuff the gravity stops workingand then the game just freezes or something

[craggy pollen]

you would have to show the code inside the script

[swift dragon]

hello! so i had this game idea and i just wanted some thoughts on it bcs idk if its a good idea. Im still doing a beginner course so im defenitly not finishing anywhere soon but my idea is to have like a illegal delivery game where you get deliveries from the dark web that you need to collect at a dead drop, and you cant be too early cause the police will get suspicious and if youre too late the police will find the dead drop. After youve collected your drop you gotte unpackage the items in it like illegal drgs or wpns. Then you need to sort them and you have to label them with another product name so that the police wont get suspicious and if they do they can weigh your product and see if it matches the weight. You also need to plan your routes to avoid the most cops so that your packages will be delivered on time, in one piece. So yeah thats kinda my idea and i want like schedule 1 typah graphics and fun like mini-game mechanics like you need to tape a box shut and those like little things. But yeah, what are your guys's thoughts on this. Does it sound too repetetive or does it sound fun?

[worldly cave]

try it and see

[swift dragon]

@worldly cave yeah i would love to try it but im still on a beginners course and the only thing i did untill now was make a car go vroom and a plane fly up and down.

[boreal river]

I would recommend to start simple when starting Game Dev & Programming. I can now say that I want to create the next GTA game for example that isn't realistic. Not sure how you think of it but yes I would recommend starting simple

For example, if you are a beginner and want to create procedural generation at the beginning of your carrier you wont be able to do it

[deft rock]

It sounds interesting, but you'll find it will get repetative quickly. But it's an elevator pitch.. you'll come up with more mechanics as when you start thinking about it more and (eventually) working on it

[swift dragon]

no i get that but like im trying to complete the course and then i just slowly want to work on things so i want to start with a box that you can open and close, and with a cam that moves when you walk

[worldly cave]

you should not start off with your current idea

even after you finish the intro courses

[swift dragon]

alright so just work on it and ideas will come in the process.

[swift dragon]

with what should i start?

[worldly cave]

something a lot smaller

[boreal river]

Always start simple and then move to harder concepts that's what I recommend. Also, a programmer must not only create but he has to plan he has to be a planner. Try to use diagrams, pseudocode to create system/technical designs at the beginning, logic flow etc

that helps a lot

[swift dragon]

alright

thanks alot! i will def use all your advice

[boreal river]

By the way, I have never created PCG but I have heard it's really hard concept. Have you ever tried guys?

[azure pond]

has anyone received emails from unity regarding licensing?

[deft rock]

nope, that's why we don't have, #🥽┃virtual-reality

Yes

In vr

[unreal pivot]

I textured my model in Blender, but in Unity the textures show up as gray circles. What do I do?

[gray frigate]

you're probably referring to the materials here

[unreal pivot]

how do I make my textures show on unity

[gray frigate]

I believe Unity can find the textures if you put them in a folder next to the .fbx file

e.g.

• Assets
  • Car.fbx
  • Textures
    • Body.png

[unreal pivot]

I had the textures + model in the fbx file

[gray frigate]

are the textures actually embedded into the FBX?

[unreal pivot]

I exported the entire thing in blender as whole

[gray frigate]

you'd have to have turned this on when exporting the FBX from Blender (and I haven't actually tried to this with Unity before)

[unreal pivot]

im not sure I followed a 11 year old tutorial to even get to this point

[gray frigate]

using the Copy Path Mode will cause Blender to copy all of the textures into the same place that it exports the model

I believe Unity will be able to find them

(I almost always set up the materials manually in Unity, so I don't know much about this)

[toxic tundra]

thx, it was in vscode settings called parameter hints

[unreal pivot]

somone had said to drag the images but I cant get the textures onto them

[toxic tundra]

spanish noticed

[gray frigate]

select one of the materials (the assets that are previewed as spheres)

you can then drag the texture into its "Albedo"/"Base Color" slot

(i don't recall what it's called..)

you can then either drag the materials onto the model in the scene

or you can select it and plug them into the list of materials in the SkinnedMeshRenderer

[unreal pivot]

got it thanks man

[crystal wind]

hey i got a problem with my game while building it, can someone help?

[gray frigate]

explain your problem

[crystal wind]

the game in the editor (inside unity) works well but when i build it so i can test it the game screen turns into brown screen

maybe becuase of the shader am using or i dont know

[gray frigate]

make a Development build and see if any errors appear in the in-game console

you should be able to turn that on in the build settings menu

[crystal wind]

here is it i guess

[gray frigate]

turn this on and then make a build

check "Development Build"

ah, you're using the haunted PSX render pipeline?

I've used that before

I don't think I've actually built a game with it before, though

This makes it a lot more likely for something to go wrong when building the game, since it's a custom render pipeline

[crystal wind]

yeah

[gray frigate]

my first guess is that a shader is not getting included in the build

i'm not sure if that would appear in the console by default

[plain dagger]

Having a material in Resources or used in a scene is the easiest way to correct missing shader variants

[gray frigate]

The HauntedPSX docs might have some suggestions here

been a hot minute since I used it

[crystal wind]

game works fine without shaders

yeah the problem is from the shaders thing but i have no idea how am gonna fix that

best solutions is to see the github again and review the tutorial

[plain dagger]

Unity should log in builds when shaders are missing so you can confirm this

[crystal wind]

i used development build thing and it didnt log anything related to shaders

[gusty abyss]

Would the game rise of kingdoms count as a 2d game or 3d

Also how hard would it be to make a game like rise of kingdoms

[potent geyser]

This is the second person who asked about this kind of game.

It's 3D probably, and hard.

[crystal wind]

never heard of 2.5D?

[inland river]

3D rendering, 2D gameplay

[gusty abyss]

Awe ok I see alot of people talk about how they hate the game is P2W so I was thinking about making a game similar but F2P

[tawny prawn]

is there a way to get the editor to compile/reload the scripts when I save them in VSCode, instead of when I switch back into the editor? This was the case with Visual Studio + Windows (yikes) but now I'm on MacOS.
that way I need to stare at the progress bar when I switch back to the editor a lot less often.

[potent geyser]

These games can't be free to play, because you would be burning money running them.

[inland river]

well, it is a free to play game

[gusty abyss]

Well could there be a way to make it so other players don't get so strong right away but still be able to buy stuff?

[potent geyser]

I assume they mean no mtx

[inland river]

thats up to your design, ofc its possible

[potent geyser]

Sure, make the things you buy have nothing to do with how "good" you are at the game.

[inland river]

see every game that sells cosmetics

but, you sould probably not get your hopes up

[gusty abyss]

Rise of kingdoms is free yes but if you don't spend money then you won't get far as the ones who spend get all the rewards and such F2P players hate the game so I was thinking about making something like it but more fair

[inland river]

nobody will care

[gusty abyss]

Alot of People care actually

[inland river]

these games are played because the money they make can be spent on ads that will drown your free'ish game

[gusty abyss]

I been playing ROK for 7 years now and most of there community hates that it's such a P2W game now

[inland river]

yes, people hate it, but they still play

its not rational

[gusty abyss]

Ok

[inland river]

these games are addictive

[gusty abyss]

Back to the drawing board then

[inland river]

if you look at console/pc games you'll have more opportunity to actually make something that gets seen

but thats also very difficult ofc

a good game is not enough anymore.

[gusty abyss]

We're working on a PC game now actually

[ocean tusk]

Hello

guys should I use 6.2 with ML Agents? or should I get 6.3 (which I supose is the LTS)

[marsh cedar]

my box collider keeps getting pushed down when i press play

[storm patio]

is it that or is your sprite getting pushed up

[marsh cedar]

how do i check?

[storm patio]

make sure your tool is set to pivot mode, so you can see where the transforms actually are.
chekc the collider's offset, make sure it's what you expect

if it is, then it's probably the sprite getting moved up. make sure the pivot of the sprite is set correctly

[marsh cedar]

yeah i'm on pivot mode, when i press play the spite is getting moved up, do you want a sc?

[storm patio]

sure

[storm patio]

why's the offset ever-so-slightly off lmao

[marsh cedar]

it's just to fit it to the sprite

[storm patio]

you should move the sprite to fit the collider, not the other way around

since the sprites might all be slightly different, but the collider will be consistent

anyways, make sure the pivot is set correctly for all the sprites

[marsh cedar]

yeah thanks, it was set to bottom not center

[granite lava]

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a problem
I've been working on a project I started using with a 6000.1 version that had that security oversight a few months ago, I've downloaded the newest LTS version of Unity and I created a new project with the Asset + ProjectSettings folder of the old project (that's how I backup my project too)
When I open the project I got a few errors, most were small stuff like importing the Input System again but it seems that my project lacks the UnityEngine.UI DLL as it cannont reconize the UnityEngine.UI and UnityEngine.SystemEvents namespaces

I have noticed that my old project has the UnityEngine.UI.dll on the Library/ScriptAssemblies folder while the new project doesn't
There's also a missing reference to the DLL on the "Assembly-CSharp.csproj" file
I tried moving the file from the old project and into the new one and adding a reference as pointed out in this thread, but it did not work
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57071884/the-type-or-namespace-name-ui-does-not-exist-in-the-namespace-unityengine

How can I reimport the UnityEngine.UI package? On the package manager I can't even disable it cause the manager says it has dependencies and I don't see any option to reimport it. I've also uninstalled old VSCommunity 2022 and got the new 2026 one, regenerated the project files, still nothing

[storm patio]

try a library reset

[granite lava]

By deleting the folder? Did that, still not working

[slow dirge]

Can you share the actual errors with details?

[granite lava]

Im getting several, this is one example:
Assets\A_Scripts\A_UI\Spell Creation\VisualCardInvocation.cs(4,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'UI' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
using UnityEngine.UI;
This is the line of code in question

[sweet tartan]

you are likely missing assemblies as it says if you didn't also include the packages dir

[slow dirge]

Are you using assembly definitions in your project? This error is clearly from your project scripts, so it's unlikely to be an engine issue.

[granite lava]

yes

[slow dirge]

So you need to set up your assembly definitions correctly.

[granite lava]

The UnityEngine.UI assembly?

True, apparently it broke?

I can't find it

[balmy kettle]

your asmdef needs to reference the UnityEngine.UI assembly
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/assembly-definitions-referencing.html

[granite lava]

Hmm, I just opened my project backup on 6000.1 and there's no reference to the UnityEngine.UI on the assembly reference

[granite lava]

There's no UnityEngine.UI folder on my packages folder, on the new project that is
There is a folder on the old project

[balmy kettle]

and you didn't uninstall the UI package?

please verify that it is installed

but if it is installed, then you need to reference the UI assembly from your asmdef

[granite lava]

I tried disabling it to install again but the button in the package manager got greyed out and it says I can't disable it, so I guess it's still installed

[balmy kettle]

then you have your answer

[granite lava]

wdym? I take it it's still installed

[granite lava]

I'm not referencing it on my old project though and it's still working

[balmy kettle]

then don't do it and make no progress because you have an error that you can easily solve right now if you'd stop arguing about the answer

[granite lava]

But I can't find it

[balmy kettle]

show what you see when you try to add the reference

[balmy kettle]

then reset the library to rebuild the entire package cache. close unity, delete the entire Library folder from within the project folder, then open the project again so that everything gets reimported

[slow dirge]

Can you take a screenshot of the whole inspector?

[balmy kettle]

if you're trying to verify that something else doesn't need to be checked or whatever, then i can verify it wouldn't. the assembly should be there

[slow dirge]

Or maybe even the whole editor so that we see what file it is.

[violet inlet]

would anyone be willing to help me im haveing problems with this 2d platformer im trying to make idk if its the script or what this error pops up and some thing on the hierarchy pops up saying "dontdestroyonload" im brand new this is the first game im trying to make please help🙏

[granite lava]

Reset the Libraby again, still nothing

[balmy kettle]

you can disregard the DontDestroyOnLoad scene, that's normal. the error is pretty self explanatory though

[balmy kettle]

are you sure you actually reset the entire library? because that was incredibly fast if you did, it should take a while, longer than if you were creating a brand new project because it should be reimporting everything. all packages and assets.

[violet inlet]

the gravity on the rigidbody2d stops working when i put in the player script

[balmy kettle]

you need to fix the error

[granite lava]

Just deleting the folder and opening the project again? Yes

[balmy kettle]

check your package manifest file to make sure it's actually listed in there

and the packages lock file too

[granite lava]

It's not there

It is on the old project though

[balmy kettle]

then you'll need to add it

then reset library again

[violet inlet]

i dont understand the error. it says the tag "ground" is not defined

[balmy kettle]

you're showing me the tag ground. show me where you've defined the tag Ground

[violet inlet]

is this not it or am i an idiot

im so confusefd

[slow dirge]

Ground... ground

[balmy kettle]

that's where you try using the tag Ground. now show me where you've defined it. you've shown ground, but that's not the same thing

[violet inlet]

how do i defined it bro im abt to punch a hole in my pc

[balmy kettle]

holy hell, how have you not figured out that the capitalization is wrong yet

[violet inlet]

no way im this stupid

[violet inlet]

i love you

no homo

[granite lava]

It's still not working

[balmy kettle]

you've manually added the relevant UI package(s) to both the manifest and packages-lock files, saved them, then reset the library?

[granite lava]

Yes, in the "manifest.json" I added one line and on the lock file I added this

"com.unity.modules.ui": { "version": "1.0.0", "depth": 0, "source": "builtin", "dependencies": {} },

But it already contained this I think
"com.unity.modules.ui": { "version": "1.0.0", "depth": 1, "source": "builtin", "dependencies": {} },

I tried both, none worked

[balmy kettle]

the ugui package?

[granite lava]

That one? I'll try it

[balmy kettle]

that's the actual ui package. the ui module contains things like the Canvas class that's directly in the UnityEngine namespace

[granite lava]

Well, it worked, I found it, now I'm getting 201 extra errors, but I DID find the UnityEngine.UI dll

They're all TMP related though, lol

[balmy kettle]

you probably need to reference that assembly too

[granite lava]

The errors are from the TMP scripts
I think I installed it wrong, I don't even remember how I installed TMP on the previous project, on this one I got the deprecated package from the manager

[balmy kettle]

TMP is now part of the UI package, and has been for a while.
are you sure the "old project" or whatever was on unity 6.1? it's sounding more like a project even older than unity 6

[granite lava]

Yes, I created it in August last year lol

Ah it's fixed

I yeeted the TMP package from the Packag manager

[balmy kettle]

like i said, TMP is part of the ugui package and has been since before the unity 6 release near the end of 2024

[granite lava]

Ah yes I vaguely remember Unity acquiring TMP or something
Though it seems that the new project didn't even have the 2D Sprite package
Granted I created it in an unusual way

These problems are a little bit weird, I don't know if I trust this project to not have cancer from now on, maybe I should just create a new one and just recreate everything, or mybe try copying the old project and just opening it with the new version, maybe Unity would not get cancer then

I had prefabs with Unlit materials, they're missing now

Ofc it's not a big deal, but feels kinda weird, what else got messed up in the proccess?

[rotund valve]

hey can anyone help me with my install of unity

there's some bug going on after I moved my install to the D drive

[dusky forum]

Normally you'd just provide info about the issue and random volunteers would provide suggestions.

[rotund valve]

I think its because I changed the install locations

so it doesnt work now

[dusky forum]

What do you mean by it doesn't work?
Are you getting some console error?
Unable to install Editors?
Editors not launching?
Or something else?

What happens when you try to download the Editor?

You need to explain and provide more information to get better help

[rotund valve]

give me a second I'll try and reinstall for a ss

[dusky forum]

Have you tried Googling the error?
Google gave me this but you should look at multiple sources just in case: https://discussions.unity.com/t/i-have-a-problem-download-failed-eperm-error/297263/3

Has anyone managed to get unity to scale right on KDE plasma (wayland)

I've been messing around for like 3 days

And can't find anything that helps everything either makes it blurry too big or makes it unresponsive

Does anyone know how I can add sprites on top of the player?

for example, whenever the player collects an object, it moves on top of his head, and if he collects more items, they stack up on top of each other etc

idk what this concept is called or how it could work, any ideas?

like this

[charred fog]

Sorting layers on the renderer, also order in the same sorting layer and sorting groups.

[leaden dragon]

so the concept is known as sorting layers?

[storm patio]

no, but they'd help

i don't think there's really a specific term for what you're describing

[leaden dragon]

thing is when i try to make something i usually have like a reference, I have 0 ideas on how i could repliacate this unless id manually draw the sprite which is not ideal in the slightest

[leaden dragon]

yeah exactly

[storm patio]

but yes you'd use layering to achieve the desired.. layering, with sorting layers and sorting orders and sorting axes

[storm patio]

what, the aspect of having multiple sprites stacked on the player? you'd achieve that by just having multiple sprites

[leaden dragon]

what if i tracked the items i collect, then set a spawnpoint ontop of the players head for the items, the more items id collect the higher the objects i collect would spawn so it looks like theyre stacked on top of eachother

wouldnt that also work

[storm patio]

sure? that would be having multiple sprites

ah, i shouldve been more specific

[storm patio]

replace "sprite" with "object" here

[leaden dragon]

ah alright

but lets say i have an array of items, how do i track down which is which so I know which ones stack on top of eachother in the order i collected them in?

thats the first problem

[storm patio]

arrays are inherently ordered

though you probably wouldn't want to use an array for that, more likely a list or a stack

[leaden dragon]

fair enough

this is all kinda playing with my head lmao, i havent done unity in so long

[storm patio]

gotta break it down into smaller steps/tasks, and write down or draw or diagram your thoughts instead of trying to keep it all in your head

[leaden dragon]

very true

[crude sluice]

Does anyone know when will publish to unity play option be available?

[storm patio]

gotta also consider physical movement, if you want that, like the hot dogs in undertale. not sure if deltarune has that, so not sure if you're going for that
