[inland river]

but nobody has copied that really yet. neither UE nor Unity... i would expect its way complicated

however UE is making an effort to give motion matching and reactive animations to everybody

[rancid whale]

"corrected my ambitions" is a bar 🗿 good one. Might be just what I need to hear lol

[rancid whale]

Yes I actually downloaded UE again. But the GASP sample project is so terrible. It just worries me that I'd be wasting time switching

[inland river]

for personal projects elden ring is still way off 😄

the promise of UE is even more a lie than the promise in Unity that making a game is as easy as the demos make it appear

[rancid whale]

If I were to chase that RDR, GTA Euphoria, Assassin's Creed type of motion. What would you recommend me to learn?

Or would you recommend me to buy a MoCap suit. Lol

[inland river]

idk, i haven't looked deeper into that stuff, but if i had to guess, the future is some form of machine-learning

[rancid whale]

I know a lot of games just have great math behind the motion, and the animations "try their best" to match what's happening.

Maybe that's a more effective approach. I don't know.

[inland river]

well, the "handcrafted" approach is pretty much dead for anything beyond basics

just because the effort is too great vs the funding available

[rancid whale]

The whole "fully driven by the animation's root motion" thing is a little strange. But it just, has that feel to it

[inland river]

you mean in elden ring style games?

[rancid whale]

Oh is that how it is there? I just meant in my project here. I'm just using the animations that come with MxM lol

[inland river]

elden ring is not root motion, it just looks that way because the procedural motion uses the animation as one of many data sources to plot the actual character movement.

[rancid whale]

Even using Springs, Curves, etc I couldn't achieve that Root Motion kind of feeling

Yes, actually I tried reading animator.deltaPosition and like, smoothening that out but blending with raw stick input too

[inland river]

imo the root motion toggle in unity makes the concept look more like a binary choice than it really is in practice

[rancid whale]

Yeah of course. I quickly realized OnAnimatorMove is the only way to go, that checkbox is practically worthless 😅

[inland river]

btw, if i had to make a complex character controller for a commercial project on a deadline, i'd go for animancer next time around. All other options are too risky.

for a normal complexity controller, i'd go with builtin unity tools as much as possible until they become a risk. But the 'standard' they provide is quite valuable.

[rancid whale]

I couldn't find a video where anything impressive was shown. Is it really all that?

[inland river]

it doesn't do anything impressive

it just plays and blends regular animations

[rancid whale]

Yeah for sure. Do you know of any way to get around the whole "float param to Cycle Offset" thing there?

I felt that everything I did in an Animator Controller was super reliable,
but that whole bloated process to simply "play an animation starting at a certain time" really irks me

[inland river]

that at least can be simplified with animancer

but the whole armature setup need doesn't go away

you still drive an animator with it

but you at least don't have to do it visually in a state machine, you can apply any model, and even build something thats more like motion matching

[rancid whale]

I wonder if it's possible to set up all that "float parameter Cycle Offset" thing in code 🤔

[inland river]

animancer makes everything code-first, so its likely your cycle offset problem can be solved there.

[carmine rose]

does anyone know why it always takes so long to reload domain after it compiles my scripts

[inland river]

lots of possible reasons

• restart your editor
• avoid doing work in OnValidate()
• avoid inefficient init on custom inspectors
• avoid heavy automated processing of assets on reload
• avoid memory leaks
• avoid proliferation of static fields, especially on generic types
• disable domain reload

[rancid whale]

Fair enough. It does advertise right in the UnityAssetStore photos "Just get an animation and play it"

[inland river]

tbh, that promise is the main reason i have it installed per default in most projects

[copper gust]

Disable Domain Reload won’t do anything here right? As they are talking about script editing not play mode?

[inland river]

it also has a much better UX for animation events btw.

[inland river]

true, but i suppose the same reload will happen when they enter playmode and that could also do with a faster loading bar 😉

[rancid whale]

I don't know if the Animator Controller is that much of a headache for me to consider this option. But I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I need to correct my ambitions firstly anyway 🫡

Thank you so much, this was invaluable, truly 🙏
I've been struggling for like a year trying to achieve realistic character motion

Well I learned a lot of other things too, but. This seems to be the most difficult challenge

[inland river]

well, you're probably an expert on the path you took so far, at least as far as this server is concerned.

[carmine rose]

• restarting my editor doesn't work (in fact it takes less time to restart my editor than to wait for domain reload)
• I didn't use OnValidate() anywhere in my project
• I already have domain reload disabled
  but I'll look into the other points u mentioned thanks

[slender robin]

how can i change the project window view to different layout that shows preview too?

[copper gust]

Slider bottom right

[slender robin]

ty

[rancid whale]

An expert on how to create a super unresponsive character controller 🤣
(that uses MoCap data but without motion matching 🤡 )

Dude you were right.
I kept thinking about what you said, and realized,
In my code I was sometimes putting values above 1.0f or below 0.0f into SetInputWeight

[sour olive]

does anyone know how to use realtime csg

[tall hearth]

csg?

[granite lava]

Resource.Load<T>() works on built projects, right?

[lethal plume]

Welp I just realized that the $55 I spent on Bakery years ago wont work with my new gpu (AMD). is there an alternative??? or way to make bakery work with amd gpus?

[slow dirge]

Is that official info from the developer?

[lethal plume]

unfortunately.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/level-design/bakery-gpu-lightmapper-122218

[copper gust]

Pray for a refund

If you could get it to work I’d imagine they would support it

[sly lake]

Maybe with Zluda, but no idea how.

[plain dagger]

I also learnt about this recent but thankfully have not purchased Bakery

In current year we probably dont want to rely on nvidia only

Then what is?

[storm patio]

if you want to find a social space, you can seek that out yourself

there's no social space in this server, it's focused on support/help

[copper gust]

Not many options available for that kinda thing tho

[worldly cave]

A place to find help and assistance when working in unity

This channel isnt a general chat either

[charred fog]

Do you have a question?

@lunar moat #1180170818983051344 or #🏆┃daily-win if you want to showcase something. Don't post random things here, please.

[plain dagger]

What thing? Open CL exists and we have AMD and intel GPUs

[copper gust]

Decent baking solutions for Unity

[sly lake]

OpenCL is terrible and basically abandoned

ROCm is the AMD counterpart to CUDA. Though nowadays you could probably just use DXR through Unity directly.

[flat breach]

hi, why do all the timelines I make don't work? Everytime I add an initial position and a second position at 1seconds, it immediately gets to the 1 seconds and all the positions are also messed up, when I move a gameobject and then check back its position, he's disappeared and is far away from its previous position, it's kinda hard to explain but I could make a video

[plain dagger]

Hmm so its double effort to support AMD? That sucks 😞

[near adder]

Does it usally take long for apk files to complie in Unity?

and how do you change the hand in defualt vr template?

[pastel bough]

Can someone tell me why suddenly unity editor freezes when loading dae model file?

[sly lake]

How big is the file?

[pastel bough]

4mb

It happened yesterday unexpectedly

[sly lake]

Could toss it in Blender to convert to FBX

[near adder]

How do you changer the hands in the defualt vr template?

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! You know when I build my project files entering my game I see at the top of the screen some red lines displaying not big ones but ye I cannot understand

and not always at dark places when I move my camera

[pastel bough]

problem is the tool i used for modding mgsv is heavily incompatible with fbx

[sly lake]

Can you take a screenshot?

[boreal river]

No I cant you wont see it but its let me check maybe there are some examples

Probably it has to do with my monitor bro

[pastel bough]

any way i can get unity editor to not have issue with loading dae?

[boreal river]

I see it not only inside but outside as well

[near wigeon]

we can't help with modding issues here
#📖┃code-of-conduct

[near wigeon]

is it only Unity Engine game you built, or other Unity games? You tried WebGL build too ?

[pastel bough]

rn is about dae model file not loading

modding is set aside

[near wigeon]

but you said it yourself you cannot use the Common format FBX because of modding

[pastel bough]

yeah

[near wigeon]

the easy solution minus the modding part is just using the common FBX

if you're unable to, that goes into modding talk because you cannot use a common solution due to modding

[near wigeon]

OnMouseDown will not work if you're on the new input system

Note: New projects created with this version of Unity are pre-configured to use a version of the Input System that doesn't support this callback. To support this callback in your project, change the Active Input Handling setting in Player settings to either Both or Input Manager (Old). Using the old Input Manager alone is not recommended for new projects. For more information, refer to Input.

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[elfin field]

What exactly does this mean..

[near wigeon]

it means exactly what I sent

[near wigeon]

sure https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/terrain-PaintHoles.html

[elfin field]

okey thanks

[rancid helm]

[slender robin]

hey so i wanna do testing with unity on my android phone and after enabling dev options and installed unity remote, it doesnt show on the phone and it has this on log. im on mac, does anyone knows the fix? if so how can i fix, thanks.

Unauthorized device detected, Id: ..., please add debug authorization and reconnect.
System.Threading._ThreadPoolWaitCallback:PerformWaitCallback ()

[vivid cedar]

Unity remote would be unrelated to debugging on android

[slender robin]

testing the game i meant

[vivid cedar]

there should be some popup on the phone or something when you first connect ADP asking to give permissions

[vivid cedar]

yeah but ADB and debugging etc doesn't use unity remote

you mentioned dev options

which implies you're trying to set up an actual adb connection

that would be different from Unity remote which is a totally different way of doing things

[slender robin]

well i turned on usb debugging thing

[vivid cedar]

so I think you may have some confusion going

what are you actually trying to do

run the game with unity remote, or run it with an android dev build?

[slender robin]

im tryna make the game run remotely on my android

[vivid cedar]

yeah but which way

[slender robin]

run with unity remote

via unity remote app

[vivid cedar]

then you don't need any of the dev options stuff afaik

[plain dagger]

Unity remote is just "stream the game output to the phone and stream back touch"
Its not really running on the phone

You need to actually build and install the APK on the device

[vivid cedar]

oh wait I;'m wrong

[slender robin]

well its not wokring so its what the tutorial says

[vivid cedar]

you do need usb debugging enabled

[slender robin]

yeah im wanting to stream the thing

i dont wanna build yet

[slender robin]

even with this on it still doesnt work

[vivid cedar]

have you done this part?

3. Connect the Unity Editor to Unity Remote

Once the target device is connected to your computer, the Unity Editor should be able to detect it. To connect Unity Remote on the target device to the Unity Editor:

Open Editor settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Editor).
In the Unity Remote section, set Device to the target device you want to use.

[slender robin]

and console gave me this.

[slender robin]

yep

[vivid cedar]

and the device showed up in the list?

[slender robin]

nope

[plain dagger]

Unplug and plug the phone back in and pray the "Allow usb debugging" popup appears

[slender robin]

i am

[vivid cedar]

are you using a USB cable or wireless

[plain dagger]

Then go to developer options on your phone and revoke all allowed connections and try again

[slender robin]

usb

[plain dagger]

Its "Revoke USB debugging authorisations"

[slender robin]

yep i pressed it

multiple times now

[plain dagger]

If your unity install does not have the included android sdk this may never work

(unless you installed android studio and assigned this)

[slender robin]

do i need to swicth the platform to andrioid?

lemme try though

[slender robin]

yea i got andrioid studio on

[plain dagger]

If you told unity to use this make sure the android dev tools are installed, then open adb and do adb devices when your phone is plugged in

[slender robin]

how can i "tell" it

[plain dagger]

unity preferences

If its using the included android sdk you can go locate the adb executable in there and use that

[slender robin]

alr will give it a shot

[worldly cave]

no

Hey, guys! I have a question about Git. So, I know this doesn't have to do with Unity but its related somehow. When I am working on my projects solo I am not creating branches and I am commiting and pushing everything in main branch. My teacher told me that its often good for a small project to have at least a feature branch and an alternative branch called staging for example. Is it bad practice what I am doing and commiting and pushing everything in main branch?

[vivid cedar]

to be honest if you're working solo you don't necessarily need to use feature branches

it will make things somewhat more complex to use them. but it might be a good idea to use them to get into the habit of it

they are going to be pretty essential if you work with other people

[boreal river]

Yes I am just saying he said that I have to use at least feature branch for example but its not good practice to work on main because if something will happen to your project you will lose progress

[vivid cedar]

you won't lose progress either way

as long as you're regularly making commits and pushing them

[boreal river]

Ok because I am working on a project personal project for almost 1 and half year right now and I wasn't creating branches I was just using the main branch for the daily workflow until now

Can I start right now doing it?

[plain dagger]

Ofcourse

When you have released builds its a good idea to have main/master for release only and to work on a dev branch.
Then you merge dev -> main when you want to release a new version (good to tag this too with the version)

Its common to setup CI to perform a build on such a merge too

[boreal river]

So how it works I mean I am working on dev branch daily alright and when I want to commit I do commit and then merge to main?

I have to have 2 branches?

Like the main and a feature branch for example?

what if I have bugs to fix and they are not features

do I have to create a new bug fix branch?

I have never worked with someone on git to tell you

I was working all this time solo so I dont know how it works when collaborating

like I know the basics push, pull, merge, commit you know

but never worked with branches

I mean

and yes all of that I do in Git Bash

[plain dagger]

If working with main and dev then you may:

• branch from dev for working on features to merge into dev
• branch from dev to perform a fix for dev
• branch from main to perform a hotfix that you need a new release to include now

[bold elm]

branch you work on, then when you want to push to main you create a pull request, then approve it on the main branch "pull requests" (github)

[boreal river]

Yes I cannot understand this cycle

[plain dagger]

Perhaps first you need to understand what it means to "branch off" a commit

[boreal river]

I know how to create branches but I am not sure how it works in collaboration with others

I have knowledge of Git and Github but never use it for collaboration purposes

[plain dagger]

This website explains the "git flow" method which is similar to what I proposed:
https://danielkummer.github.io/git-flow-cheatsheet/

[boreal river]

Yes ok

[plain dagger]

The reason why you would make a branch to develop a new feature is to not keep commiting in progress stuff to dev.
This way means you can merge it in when its fully complete

"I just finished adding this enemy i will now merge this into dev"
using branches also allows for use of pull requests

[rugged blaze]

probably just me being dumb, but does anyone have any idea why I can't move the camera anymore in the unity editor?
I can still look around, just not use the zoom or move function

[plain dagger]

try selecting some other gameobject and press F to focus on it and see then

[rugged blaze]

tried that already, although found something else that worked now, resetting all layouts

now just don't know what the problem even was

[plain dagger]

sometimes things bug out 🤷‍♂️

[rugged blaze]

yeah, probably it

still thanks for the awnser though

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah inspector input and rendering is pretty issue prone when using 6+, or earlier and URP.

Might not be anything you did

[void egret]

Getting a weird inspector bug, anyone else seen this? Added a new public InputActionReference to a component, opened the prefab and set the reference to something, but it doesn't save, even after deleting Library and updating to latest 6.3

[rugged blaze]

well, found out what the actuall problem is, unity thinks I'm zooming in to far so it is minimizing the effect my controls have.
is there any way I can stop that from happening?

[rugged blaze]

does restarting work? I tried to recreate the bug but didn't get it

[void egret]

I tried it in a new project and had the same issue, so I've sent a bug report

[storm patio]

generally you fix that by focusing something, what rob suggested - that resets the camera zoom and instead moves the camera to an "appropriate" distance from the object

if you end up needing to zoom anyways after that, if you're in 3d, you could consider using flythrough mode to move the camera closer instead of zooming

[rugged blaze]

okay thanks

[opal glacier]

if anyone is new to unity, I uploaded a list of good-to-know things that are commonly used in code on my github here. Please understand that I am also new, so if something doesn't make sense, make a pull request to change it. Also I am constantly updating this, so if something is missing, I probably haven't learned about it yet.

this is all mixed up

[opal glacier]

i dunno what i'm doing

i'm so new i started yesterday

void FixedUpdate() OnEnable()
Void fixedupdate doesn't = OnEnable i think the markdown is just not correct on that

I wanted to make a cute Robot, that is standing on Top of the enemys Robot scarps and the more it upscales, the more it looks like it stands on a pile of rock/metal with blood on it, lol

[storm patio]

yeah you need an extra line break to end the list (basically for a <br>)

eh, let's continue in your thread

[storm patio]

i mean, why's there red in there

[faint moth]

because of the red eyes vs. blue eyes robots

Im not a good artist

[storm patio]

if that's the only red, i imagine they'd just show up as 1 or 2 singular red, maybe dark red, dots

[faint moth]

Im doing art up to 64 (I think), so Im gonna replace it anways, but still funny

[faint moth]

there were just 4 dots and I made them to three already

just wanted to share, because I found it funny

[storm patio]

there's a lot more red there than just 3 dots

the area around it being tinted red in lines makes it look like there's a liquid in there

[faint moth]

nope. thats the original

Hi, I have a question regarding unity and supabase (or any db hosted services). Basically I need to make a game that makes use of a database, So i created a supabase account and created the db and setup the authetification system. Now to communicate with my service, what do i need to do exactly? Do i need to setup an api, download an sdk or dlls, etc. I am very new to all of this and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Basically what i want to do is retriever a plyer state, which would store player data and scene number

[storm patio]

...ok, you didn't show me the original though, there's certainly quite a bit of red in the icons there.

maybe they're compression artifacts

[storm patio]

please do not crosspost.

Hey, guys! I have made a new repo for my project and now I have an issue it says for all of my scripts misc files

I have created the new repo everything on the right place

I have tried to remove library and open again unity let me see

Miscaleneous file

It must be assembly

[near wigeon]

misc files where? where are you talking about ? Unity, the repo?

[balmy kettle]

if your IDE is configured then you need to regenerate project files

[boreal river]

I have created a new repo on GitHub for my unity project because I didn't setup git lfs and I wanted to track large files

Now I have installed packages etc from scratch no errors but i have misc files

Intellisence doesn't work

Oh right regenerate and I forgot to change the ide to visual studio maybe you are right

[storm patio]

do you mean your visual studio is showing "miscellaneous files" instead of the workspace/project/solution name

[near wigeon]

..literally should've led in with that, threw in all the misc files and git. I thought they meant something else

[boreal river]

Yes guys I have a problem

[near wigeon]

it should not be saying (internal)

[boreal river]

Yes what's happening

[near wigeon]

you manually linked it to the exe?

[boreal river]

What I can right now?

[near wigeon]

huh ? I asked if thats what you did or it chose it for you ? You should see one with the exact version number of VS

and did you check you have Visual Studio package installed / updated to latest in package manager

getting these errors from the Unity AI

causes an infinite popup

I added a button but it's not clickable like the tutorial. The problem is not the script because it's empty I haven't written yet just the button isn't working

[near wigeon]

then how do you know its not working

[glacial meadow]

can someone tell me how to make an object (enemy) travel in the direction of the player? i have a collider which the enemy can use to detect the player and i js want it to move towards the player in a straight line if it can see it
i feel like it should be pretty simple but online all i can find is rlly complex path finding tutorials

2d btw

[tiny sonnet]

From a quick Google, this looks like a good solution?
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.MoveTowards.html

Takes the players position, the enemy's, and outputs a little "nudged X units towards" vector, and add modifiers to the distance like an adjustable speed variable and Time.deltaTime?

[glacial meadow]

tysm i think i can use this! idk how i didnt find it its literally called movetowards

[near wigeon]

btw if you apply this directly to transform / translation you will phase through walls/colliders

[stoic cypress]

because when I start the game it's not clickable like it is in the tutorial

[stoic lake]

whats supposed to happen

[near wigeon]

you linked it to nothing, how is anything supposed to happen

you even turned off the Transition visual

[austere mason]

Don't worry about the script yet; first, make sure the EventSystem is in your hierarchy, otherwise the button will never detect your click

[stoic lake]

if there is no click event then yeah nothing will happen

[near wigeon]

event system is already there from first screenshot they shared

[spring bronze]

How can i have my unity smaller like the seconde pics with the orange scnene ?

[polar basalt]

you can rescale the windows

by just dragging them from sides

[worldly cave]

im also pretty sure the one on the left is a far higher screen resolution as well so everything looks smaller in general

[polar basalt]

like this

just click, hold and then drag

[polar basalt]

oh yeah

that looks so small

[vivid cedar]

yeah it's mostly a screen resolution thing

[worldly cave]

looks like a synty video

[polar basalt]

oh guys

[worldly cave]

those guys are filthy rich so they are all probably rocking 4k monitors

[polar basalt]

i have a question, where can i make flowcharts if anyone knows?

if i try search anywhere its just AI websites that have the performance of AAA games

i need microsoft 365 for it??

hey guys. im originally a roblox game programmer. what is the rate payment per hour if someone is a beginner programmer in unity?
is it worth shifting to unity

[vivid cedar]

That's an impossible question to answer. Depends on your locality, your skill level, and the particular company/job you get.

[slow dirge]

"in unity"?
You mean using unity engine?
It depends on your country and company. Can be anywhere from nothing to well paid.

[tender oasis]

Companies? I thought its mainly based on remote jobs

[slow dirge]

If you want to get paid well, you might need to deal with more than unity. Several game engines and programming languages. Maybe even custom engine development.

[tender oasis]

and "locality" makes it sound like an on-sight job

[slow dirge]

Well if that's what you're asking you can look at upwork job listings.

[potent geyser]

It depends on the cost of living from where the job is posted, hence the "locality".

You can't just charge your fees if it doesn't align that, just because you're "remote" 🤔

[worldly cave]

remote programming jobs is a pipe dream

[potent geyser]

You're not worth the premium, if that was the case.

And that too

[worldly cave]

it existed for a brief window during the pandemic

[slow dirge]

I don't know about other countries but in Japan, you're very much expected to live in the same city you're working. Definitely not outside Japan.

[worldly cave]

and everyone assumed "Oh all IT sector jobs will now be done remote"

also as a "beginner programmer in unity" your average "rate payment per hour" is effectively 0

considering how rare it is for talented people with tons of experience to find work, let alone someone who just started

ive been telling people this, if you need money, go into a different profession, keep whatever this is as a hobby

[tender oasis]

looks like unity devs dont enjoy enough remote jobs

[worldly cave]

i would kill for a remote job

[tender oasis]

unlike roblox where almost 100% of jobs are remote

[worldly cave]

if youre refering to freelancing

thats a completely different thing

[slow dirge]

I was talking about gamedev industry in general. My company has only like 20% of projects done in unity.

[marble fiber]

My future CS degree screaming rn with this one

[tender oasis]

how long does it take to make a good 3dgame? not too complex,not too simple

[worldly cave]

how long is a piece of string

[tender oasis]

nah be realistic

[worldly cave]

i am.

thats why i asked you

how long is a piece of string

[slow dirge]

How long does it take to make a successful company?

[tender oasis]

6 months? roblox averages 3 months

[marble fiber]

5 to 10 years if you really locked in

[worldly cave]

the answer i was hoping you would get to on your own was

"it depends"

[tender oasis]

im talking about the dev phase beforee the launch

[slow dirge]

Are you sure? I see a lot of cases where they never actually become a successful company.

[worldly cave]

and the answer is still the same

how about that

[marble fiber]

I mean, if your company can survive 5 years, that’s when you succeed

[worldly cave]

not nescessarily

[tender oasis]

it cant be the same after that precise goal definition "launch"

[worldly cave]

a company can only really survive if their financial runway lets them

[slow dirge]

It depends on the scale, genre, your ambitions, etc, etc... It's impossible to answer without a detailed game plan and context.

[worldly cave]

its still the same.

it depends

[tiny sonnet]

I'm starting my program in April should I turn around

[worldly cave]

no

but dont expect much in this climate

people have way too high expectations for cs degrees and programming jobs

[marble fiber]

Yeah, I’m in my 3rd year, I haven’t written a single line of code since the first year, every class is just truth tables

[slow dirge]

If you drop the "good", "not too simple" and assuming you have experience then maybe a few month-half an year of full work.

[worldly cave]

4th year MSc we are too busy doing everything but programming atp

[tiny sonnet]

My bar is not high, I just want to work in programming or IT or anything that pays comfortably and isn't ENTIRELY mindless

[marble fiber]

Depends on the uni I guess

[tiny sonnet]

Okay but that doesn't sound like a bad thing

[tender oasis]

hmm.. sounds fair.
is the average unity dev knowledgeable of programming and 3d modeling?

[worldly cave]

is the average unity dev knowledgeable of programming?

yes?

what

if they werent would they even be considered an "average unity dev"

[tender oasis]

on the parallel dev world, roblox, the average dev there has 1 skill only.

[gray frigate]

it is extremely useful to have an understanding of other fields

even if you aren't highly skilled in them

larger projects will absolutely have people who only really do one thing

[clever kindle]

It's pretty hard to develop if you can't program. Then you're just an artist etc

or an unreal developer

[slow dirge]

"Game developer" implies many different professions involved in the process of creating a game, including artists/designers, planners and such. It's not just programmers. In indie dev you would often see one person filling several roles, but it's not the standard.

[copper gust]

Btw nowadays that is unfortunately a somewhat high bar

[tiny sonnet]

I'll take mindless

[tall hearth]

kind of ironic cause it's like the job that would fit best for being remote as it's all done on an electronic device

[noble locust]

how can i go about closing the nozzle with a lot less choppiness?

i know it's a blender sc but im wondering if unity has a tool to scale down just the edges in the animator

[slow dirge]

There's no such tool. Unity is not a modeling software.
Your best bet is to write some code that modifies the mesh. That or make it a skinned mesh and animate as desired in blender.

[noble locust]

alrighty ill see if i can just work around it then

[vivid cedar]

JW if you've taken a close look at how these actually look/work? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PW4ETQ8ReTU

It's not done by scaling down the edge

[noble locust]

i understand the mechanism, the game im modding this for uses engines that have individual nozzle pieces, but as you can see from my image, the closed version looks a bit strange

maybe im closing them too much for their length or something

[vivid cedar]

I mean it just doesn't look like it's constructed properly. The real thing has sort of multiple layers? I honestly am not totally sure how it's made.

[tall hearth]

yeah as far as i can tell from the short the variable nozzle isnt angled from the edge to center like you have it in the model, instead it's 2 layers of thin straight plates that can expand outward becoming one layer and having a cone that is tighter at the base then the end

[floral mica]

im looking into creating a 3D terrain for my game but is it better to make it using unity's terrain tool, or make it from scratch using blender?

im inspired by webfishing's low poly terrain and i want to try recreate something like this but im not sure which option is better than the other

[tall hearth]

if your are doing something low poly i doubt unity's terrain tool would be any good

[floral mica]

okay thank u ❤️

oh and what about adding water? im not rly sure how to approach that aspect yet

[tall hearth]

i'd just use something like a cube with a stylized water shader as it's material there are quite a few youtube tutorials on how to do just that

[floral mica]

so for water i can just use unity? :D

[tall hearth]

yeah* blender materials dont carry over to unity so you should use unitys shader graph which is what i meant by "stylized water shader"

[floral mica]

okay thank you so much for the help

i should be sleeping but i just saw a video so my brain is only working 10%

[tall hearth]

lol i get that quite a bit

[sonic ferry]

when loading scenes or switching back and forth between scenes, does reloading re-trigger all the start/awake methods or will these only run once the first time the scene is loaded and not reloaded ?

aside from ones that are "dont destroy"

[near wigeon]

you can always test this

short answer is all the awakes run again

unload you destroy everything, on load you create new ones

[copper gust]

A Short Hike uses terrain very nicely iirc

[tall hearth]

honestly if they do i gotta give them credits never seen "good" looking near vertical mountains with the height map types like unity's terrain system

[potent geyser]

It did use the terrain system yeah

[wind escarp]

Does someone know what happend?? 😭

Oh no i don't know what to do, i'm gonna cry.

[mild grove]

Hello! I am using Unity Netcode for Game Objects along with Facepunch Transport (For Steamworks) in my 3D First person game. My characters use Character Controller for movement. Sooo, NGO instantiates the Player Prefabs when you start the game right, I want to choose the position at which each player spawns in. How can I do that? I tried to move the players by changing their transform values after disabling Character Controller and Re-enabling it after they move but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea?

[tender oasis]

Help, can’t import a .obj with textures!
Textures not loading… the .obj file originally consisted of multiple blocks with their unique textures but the .obj goes to unity without any textures.
As a new unity dev, do I need a specific add-on or do I need to export and import each model separately and assign each texture separately? That’ll take tons of time

Quick note: the obj comes from roblox and should go to unity

[slow dirge]

Obj files don't embed the texture data. They contain a relative path to the texture, so you need to copy the textures along with it.

If the files exist at the correct path, unity should import and assign them automatically.

[finite igloo]

I had a similar problem, I just loaded the model into blender and downloaded the textures separately but it was .glb

[tender oasis]

Which file extension does unity support that automatically fills textures?

[tender oasis]

Does that mean you attached the textures manually? Since you downloaded them separately

[finite igloo]

Yep

[slow dirge]

Obj does. If you provide all the files it needs.

glb and fbx can embed textures in one file, yes.

[tender oasis]

I selected the models with their textures and exported as an obj file but unity didnt see the textures tho

[slow dirge]

You mean imported? How did you import them? Is the relative path preserved?

[tender oasis]

No. I mean exported.
I selected models with their textures and exported from roblox as obj

I also tried importing that obj to blender, blender also didnt load the textures visually, but I could see the textures in the Hierarchy window of blender

[slow dirge]

Well, do you actually have the texture files next to the obj??

[tender oasis]

Is it something like .mlt ?

[slow dirge]

Not sure what image format roblox uses. I've never heard of mlt. Usually it's png or something.

[tender oasis]

When exporting obj, there is an auto generated file with extension .mtl (I realized its not called mlt)

[slow dirge]

Do you mean mtl??

[tender oasis]

Yep

[slow dirge]

That just contains the material data, and references to textures. It doesn't contain actual textures.

So it seems like an issue with your export.

[tender oasis]

What would be the extension of the textures file?

[slow dirge]

Depends on the implementation. Something like png.

[tender oasis]

When we export from blender, does blender give obj and mtl only?

[slow dirge]

I'm not sure. It probably has options that control that.

[tender oasis]

So there is no way to let unity automatically assign textures

[slow dirge]

You can open the mtl file in a text editor and see what textures it references.

[slow dirge]

This is not a unity problem, as I said. It's a problem with how you export.

[tender oasis]

Exporting isnt that hard.
Select the models with their textures and then export, done

[slow dirge]

Well, then where are the textures?? 😅

According to what you're saying it's only obj and mtl, no?

[tender oasis]

Yea. Are there other files supposed to come out?

[slow dirge]

Yes. Textures. I said it multiple times, but these 2 files don't contain them.

I mean I don't know if they're supposed to come out or not. Maybe roblox or whatever tool you're using does not allow that. 🤷‍♂️

Hi

[shy python]

anyone able to help me with Unity not wanting to open at all despite deleting the license file entirely multiple times, trying multiple accounts and still getting the same error telling me the license's MAC address and my PC's mac address don't match?

as the log says: "Machine binding 5 mismatch"

I'll also add I'm trying to use Unity 2021.3.16 for modding purposes on Beat Saber

[wooden pebble]

If you can try a new computer

[shy python]

I can't at all unfortunately

[wooden pebble]

Maybe even a VM(idk if unity can use VMs)

[shy python]

afaik a VM can't run Unity (low graphical power)

[wooden pebble]

But like see if it can even run on a VM

That’s what I would do in your position

[copper gust]

We can’t help with modding here, sorry

[shy python]

The issue isn't with modding (if you read)

It's with actually even opening Unity

[copper gust]

That’s one of the reasons we can’t help with modding

Most people do not have experience getting very old versions to work correctly

[shy python]

a link to a place that could help me with it would've been more helpful..

[copper gust]

Which we can’t really link here either as modding is tos breaking, can’t link other servers and most people here aren’t familar with beat saber modding

I don’t mean this in a rude way or anything, most people here are pro modding in spirit

[shy python]

modding beat saber isn't tos breaking though?

sorry I'm really confused rn

[copper gust]

Most modding breaks unity tos if it requires doing stuff in editor afaik, even if the games devs are ok with it

With this being the official unity server it’s abit more strict

[shy python]

modding the game itself doesn't require unity, but making custom avatars does

dunno if that changes anything

[sly lake]

Modern VMs have very good GPU support

It’s still not as fast as native, and might have issues, but it’d surprise me if it outright didn’t run in Parallels.

[shy python]

got it to run (finally)

thank god for Unity 2018

[civic ridge]

Hey, can someone help me? I don't know why the pixels rendered by my camera aren't fixed properly. Is this normal ?

[ocean pumice]

Sounds to me, like your license is tied to the mac address and revoking the license file from your pc does not chagne that. You need to revoke it online in your unity dashboard and then reload it to your pc

[shy python]

I have Personal though

[ocean pumice]

look at your scaling of your game view

[ocean pumice]

Ah got it. Thats weird. Sometimes reinstalling hub also helps.

[shy python]

did this about 8 times

what did fix it was clearing all Unity license files, running Unity 2018 and opening a new project, closing it and opening Unity 2019 afterwards

[ocean pumice]

sounds like a only for you solution 😄 Great it helped tho 👍

[shy python]

it wasn't only for me though

the solution was sitting there on the unity forums and a few people actually said it fixed it for them

[civic ridge]

thank you

Sorry in advance, I may be annoying, but this is my first time using Unity and developing games in general, so I will often ask for clarification.

But that's okay, I found it, thank you.

[hidden panther]

these 3 are identical object, if I create a prefab out of one of them how do I make the other two become the instances of the prefab

[ocean pumice]

Nothing annoying been seen here, happy coding

[civic ridge]

thank

[copper gust]

Delete them and replace with the prefab version

[hidden panther]

ouh so I have to do it manually ;(_ _

[civic ridge]

I've been trying to create a friction system for my character for two hours now, but I can't find a video that explains how to do it properly. I know it's my first project, but even if it's harder to manage, my character works with an AddForce system.

[copper gust]

Ye

[civic ridge]

If anything, my project is still very basic. I have a basic movement system with two dashes, but the jump isn't finished yet. A camera and a collision system.

sorry i just tried something else again

i am trying to move a boundary for my reflection orb. basically that cube thing

and i used to just move each wall individually but for some reason now the opposite boundary moves too

its so dumb but i dont know what to do...

[plain dagger]

Using the gizmo or are you changing the size in the inspector?

[fervent salmon]

im not holding alt or shift or anything just mouse click and drag

[plain dagger]

I forget if it's always worked this way but you can just move the center after I guess.

[fervent salmon]

i done it many times... unless there was some update in the new editor i got

[fervent salmon]

okay so i switched the editors in another project and yep the issue is clear

somebody doesnt like me at all 😄

hello

i thought mine will be the dumbest

but i think its just a bug lol

Photon is another network SDK for cross paltform multiplayer, that you can use. Thats all

[primal creek]

Technical side of Assassin's Creed movement system implementation.

[fervent salmon]

ur using plastic?

sounds like permission issue to me

[ember verge]

nope

i even not aware about that

[fervent salmon]

welp no idea then xd

i just use google and hope for prayers

for these issues

now i found my biggest issue of them all.. seams

[ember verge]

🥲 thought to start a new idea , and beggining start with errors

Before even i get motivate , depression takes the place

[slow dirge]

Remove the version control package if you're not planning on using it.

[ember verge]

whats that? and whats the effect i get when i removed it

[slow dirge]

It's verion control system. You lose the ability to use it if you remove it

Well, not really. You lose the unity in-editor integration.

Can still use it via the standalone client

[fervent salmon]

guys actually how do u solve the issue with seams in modular models?

[tender oasis]

Hey all. How long did it take you to get your first commission since your first time opening unity?

[fallen dragon]

There is an issue with gradient editor, if you press backspace while editing alpha or position procentage, it deletes key instead of editing the value
Is it know issue?

[undone quarry]

is it just me or anyone also cant paint grass texture on Terrain

[violet thunder]

I have seen a bunch of people complain about terrain painting lately

Maybe something broke in the latest versions

[undone quarry]

i cant paint grass on my backrooms level

[worldly cave]

A comission? Like freelance work? Its an insanely competetive market so i doubt many people are even freelancing here, and if they are i doubt they see frequent work.

[austere mason]

This is a known focus issue. Unity's Inspector sometimes fails to register the keyboard event when you're in a floating window like the Gradient Editor. When you press backspace, the editor thinks you want to delete the selected node (key) instead of the numerical value. Try forcing focus by clicking outside the text field before editing, or simply use the arrow keys to navigate within the percentage. It's a rather annoying UI bug in the engine

Hi guys, I am working on creating a virtual tour in unity using 360 degree panoramic images (target platform webGL). I want to create a photo gallery in the inside the tour which the user can click on and see multiple photos in a grid and after opening a photo use an image slider (something like the one in the attached screenshot). Are there any assets that can help implement something like this?

[potent geyser]

Look on the asset store for something?
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/vour-virtual-tour-creation-tool-188053

[ember verge]

Thanks but i wanna showcase whole area , and want a perfect review so if I make a video , so it will get around 500mbs and we can't share that much videos in dc

[potent geyser]

Upload the video to Youtube or some other service and use a link.

[worldly dirge]

I checked it out but this is for creating the complete tour which I already have in place with navigation and hotspots, I am just trying to add a photo gallery for which I could not find a good enough asset so far (all are either too old or not exactly what I want).

[potent geyser]

Then you're on your own if you want to make something specific to your usecase, or find a image gallery asset and adapt it to your needs.

You can also try using the keyword "carousel" in the store for something specific to that kind of navigation/UI

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/character-select-carousel-ugui-51233?srsltid=AfmBOoqiiOoX35jLtWP-tnrM7-U1Se5LP0OIwre_gNxsjFbtWPJovFhp

[worldly dirge]

Got it. This might be helpful. I wanted to see if something like this has been done before on which I can build so I don't waste time in reinventíng the wheel.

Thank you! 😄

[potent geyser]

There was this git that I know included some components that extend the UGUI components:
https://github.com/Unity-UI-Extensions/com.unity.uiextensions

It had a carousel I believe, with layering/scaling.

[worldly dirge]

This one is pretty good! I had a doubt about using older assets which applies here as well since I see the last update was around 3 years ago for this one, is it safe to use older assets that have no support anymore? I am relatively new to Unity development so I don't know much about these things.

[potent geyser]

UGUI hasn't changed at all in years, so it's safe to use, yeah.

Hey guys, I don't know how to stretch the white box and how to shrink the text :( I am struggling with UI

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/manual/UIBasicLayout.html

[near adder]

How do I dissable collision for something?

[primal creek]

make a reference to the collider and change the .enabled flag

[wind escarp]

I'll try, ty!

[shadow heron]

When doing a ground slam how would I do damage to the surrounding objects? Would I add a sphere collider at runtime depending on if I did a normal slam / weak or higher slam / stronger.

[craggy pollen]

do you mean temporarily

[near adder]

Like so that in game I can walk into a GameObject/cube

[craggy pollen]

you can mark the collider as isTrigger, one of the many ways to go for

[naive stratus]

Trying out unity and scrolling through courses

[near wigeon]

Overlap perhaps

chck distance from emitter

[naive stratus]

Is 6.3 compatible with 6.0 courses

[vivid cedar]

OverlapSphere

[craggy pollen]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddExplosionForce.html this is a professional way

[near wigeon]

this will move them if they are rigidbody yes but not necessarily "Damage" them

[craggy pollen]

assuming you ment like applying a force to the surrounding objects

yeah damaging objects can mean many things i agree

[shadow heron]

So overlap sphere is the way? I am going to be damaging / pushing away any near by objects.

[craggy pollen]

explain what you mean with damaging

[shadow heron]

For example a random box if the player either ground slams near or on top of the box the box is damaged and breaks , and using force to move the broken pieces away from the player.

[near wigeon]

what about objects behind walls?

[shadow heron]

If behind the walls it shouldn't be affected as its behind a wall.

[gray frigate]

there are several different problems being solved here

[near adder]

I alredy tried that cause it had to trigger smth but I couldn't walk into it

[near wigeon]

if you dont want those damaged, you would combine overlap with raycasts

[gray frigate]

• how do I decide if an object is affected?
• how do I affect those objects?

don't mix them up (:

to find things to slam, I think a sphere query (so, Physics.OverlapSphere) combined with a raycast is a great idea

I would calculate an "impact" score based on the distance to the target and whether there's a wall in the way

You can then use that score to do things like apply force, reduce hitpoints, whatever

[gray frigate]

Note that raycasting can be kind of finnicky.

[craggy pollen]

if you mark a collider as isTrigger then you wont collide with it but the ontrigger will still be called

[gray frigate]

If you want really detailed results, you can use multiple sphere casts with different radius values

I use this for a vision system. It decides how clearly an entity can see another

If you can shoot a big sphere and not hit a wall, the target must be out in the open

if only a tiny sphere fits, you might be seeing the target through a small hole in a wall

Correctly doing this is still annoying, though. You have to decide what to raycast towards, and the exact choice can matter a lot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip4ay-rUGQs

[near wigeon]

indeed this can get quite complex, should it cast/hit the middle of object ? the top? multiple points etc.

[gray frigate]

This should give you an intuition for the probelm

[near adder]

I did it originaly but didn't work

[shadow heron]

Alright thanks for the help! time to get cracking 🙌😊

When I go for a ground slam should the overlapsphere appear straight away? or when I slam on the ground should it appear then with the radius already setup.

[near wigeon]

only you can answer this , more of a design question

[vivid cedar]

Note it's not something that "appears". It's something you do in your code

[buoyant path]

Can anyone help me with unity? I dont know why it doesnt want to download

[gray frigate]

is the Unity Hub giving you an error?

[buoyant path]

no like when im trying to launch it

[buoyant path]

it says i need unity hub

but i have it

[gray frigate]

show me the error

[buoyant path]

theres just one problem now, it doesnt even want to launch anymore

im gonna try to dwonload it again

[gray frigate]

Restart your computer first

Then, instead of downloading Unity directly, I'd suggest downloading the Unity Hub

[buoyant path]

theres just one problem

my teacher told me i had to do it on the version: 6000.3.3f1 LTS

[gray frigate]

You can install any version of Unity you want through the Unity Hub.

(you do have to go the website to install older versions, but they still get installed by the Unity Hub)

[safe garden]

quick q for prefab menu - what is the difference between unpack prefab and unpack completely? if you're going to unpack it wouldn't you just want it to be completely unpacked so you can edit it and move stuff as you please?

[midnight saffron]

i just got a new computer how do i get all my unity projects back

[shadow heron]

@gray frigate @near wigeon @craggy pollen Thanks for the help guys, Got everything working now only thing missing are some effects 😀❤️

[gray frigate]

if you didn't use Unity Version Control or some other version control (e.g. Git + GitHub), there isn't a copy of your projects anywhere but on your old computer

[gray frigate]

The "Completely" option will recursively unpack nested prefabs too

You might not want to do this

the regular unpack option does one layer

[midnight saffron]

i have the old computer still and can get the files but i have no idea where they are all saved

[gray frigate]

ah, good

In the Unity Hub, you can open the project folder in your file browser

it's Finder for me on my macbook, but you should see "Explorer" here

You can just copy the entire project folder over

I would leave out the Library folder

that's full of files generated by Unity, like imported assets and compiled shader variants

it's usually much larger than your actual Assets folder

[safe garden]

thanks!

[midnight saffron]

im confuzed

[craggy pollen]

you can go to the folder and manually open the unity files if you dont know hwo to do it via hub

[naive atlas]

Hey can someone help me i am trying to upload this avi but I cant upload it for somereason I bought it off gumroad and I have read the readme that it came with 8 have everything but for some reason the avi will not upload

[craggy pollen]

usually in the Scenes folder you will find the .unity files

[craggy pollen]

go to Assets then Scene

or Import Projects in the hub

[midnight saffron]

ya click impot projects dose nothing

[craggy pollen]

in the unity hub press Installs tab it will show you all the version you installed

[midnight saffron]

ya i got that working now its just the projects

[craggy pollen]

you see the blue button at top

left from it ADD

then add form disc

[noble locust]

how do i get rid of this plugin? it doesn't show in the "In Project" tab but it's messing with my scripts

[craggy pollen]

you have not imported it yet , it shouldn´t be in your project actually

[noble locust]

i did

how do i get rid of it😭

[urban sorrel]

whoever is free can you please join the voice channel and help me figure out what is my problem, why grass eat a lot of RAM?

[craggy pollen]

go to that location and delete the folder maybe

AssetUsageDetector folder

[worldly cave]

there is no vc here

[urban sorrel]

fine

[noble locust]

done, it fixed it\

lowkey gave me a heart attack

[naive atlas]

Hey can someone help me i am trying to upload this avi but I cant upload it for somereason I bought it off gumroad and I have read the readme that it came with 8 have everything but for some reason the avi will not upload

[noble locust]

thanks murado

[craggy pollen]

you are using mesh grass with too many polly probably @urban sorrel

[urban sorrel]

so, i got the issue with my grass, surely its grass problem cuz it firstly i placed it as a tree, and at second it has animation

[craggy pollen]

no both points you mentioned ar enot the problem

[urban sorrel]

join the audithorium

62 triangle for 1 grass it is a lot?

[mental pulsar]

if you have 3 million grass yes

[craggy pollen]

yes way too much , use texture grass you will only have like 4 faces instead 62 in best case

[stuck flower]

Honestly grass that has more than two triangles is probably overkill

[mental pulsar]

yep

[worldly cave]

yes, too much

grass is mostly a flat plane with a transparent texture

theres no reason it should have any other geometry

[urban sorrel]

i understood, ill just change for my own

[midnight saffron]

so i reimported all my old projects and the instals of unity now unity is just not opning thoes projects

hey does anyone have a Rust-like Option class for C#?

[worldly cave]

this is a discord for unity developers to get help with their projects

this isnt a support server for games made in unity

if you need help with vr chat or gorilla tag or whatever, you are going to have to go to their own servers for that.

[sterile island]

It didn’t come up for me my bad

[primal creek]

Nullable<T>

[plain dagger]

Yea its nullable to do this with value types but we usually do int? instead of Nullable<int>

[primal creek]

Yeah, though if you really want a Option<T> vibe then Nullable is probably the only way. Then instead of ‘if let Some(x) = …’ u gotta use .HasValue and .Value

[balmy kettle]

int? and Nullable<int> are the same thing

but yes, that's basically the closest you can get for Option<T>

[primal creek]

Yes, just another way of writing the same thing

[plain dagger]

I wonder about Box<> 🤔

[primal creek]

Wdym? Its representation in C#? well box<> in rust just stores a value on the heap so it would probably have to do something with manually allocating memory, idk though

[plain dagger]

The best I can think of without cheating is casting to object which will box value types

It was just a hypothetical question in the same area

[primal creek]

i know

c# isn't really so clear in these aspects :P at least for me. it's easier for me to e.g. read if something is a reference in rust

[amber thistle]

thanks!

will check it out

[plain dagger]

Really only temp scope value types have the chance at being stack allocated but even then there are exceptions.
We have to resort to Span to have stack allocated arrays too

newer c# may be better but I do not trust mono

[gray frigate]

classes are reference types; structs are value types

there's also the notion of something being a ref

this is closer to a C++ reference, where you're sharing a storage location

you'll see the ref keyword in that case

(or in/out for read/write only refs)

[primal creek]

yeah i know. i mean that i understand these concepts, but they just look more clear to me in Rust, maybe because i can choose if i can pass a value as a reference & or not

[gray frigate]

Yes, that's a distinction from C#: most types are inhernetly referred-to

You can't directly contain a Transform, for example

[primal creek]

i know

well, thanks for a quick c# lesson :P

[plain dagger]

The joys of managed languages. Easier to use but more restrictive

[primal creek]

true 💔

[gray frigate]

I do wish C# had something like Haskell's algebraic datatypes

[sly lake]

In C#, boxing is automatic. I use an IDE plugin to highlight it.

[gray frigate]

it'd be nice for expressing things like option types

[gray frigate]

surprise allocation!

[primal creek]

oh, right

[sly lake]

Yeah and it doesn’t even catch everything smh

[gray frigate]

C# does have pattern matching in switch statements and expressions

but you can't assert, for example, that there are only two types derived from some common abstract class

so you can't prove your code will always work

[inland river]

if you start proving that kind of stuff from a type system you end up with a language that can be excellent to reason about but painful to develop in while you don't have your solution fully specified yet.

[gray frigate]

these aren't very elaborate guarantees; i'm just talking about being able to do this without the compiler throwing a fit

whoops, Parent should be abstract

[plain dagger]

Some days i wish we had constant expressions 🙁

[gray frigate]

It's plausible for someone to later invent a new class that derives from Parent, so I get yelled at

I have similar problems with enums. You get a warning if you don't explicitly add an arm for an invalid enum value

This winds up hiding problems later, since any new enum values will be silently eaten up by that arm

(i have that warning disabled most of the time)

[inland river]

i mean, whatever keeps bugs out of the house is good stuff.

[gray frigate]

yeah

[inland river]

well, unless you need to carry them out individually or your more efficient methods destroy the ecosystem.

tbh, i suppose if it were possible within the language design we would almost have an algebraic type system or some form of traits in c# already

[gray frigate]

i don't think "i wish I had ADTs" that often, but it comes up often enough to be annoying

[inland river]

the current direction pushes hard towards that stuff

i think some form of 'traits' would be a nice thing.

[gray frigate]

Traits are also something I wish I had

[inland river]

but these things are only useful to people who have steeped in actual functional programming

one aspect of that stuff is that to the average OOP minded person it looks like "pad practices"

[dense otter]

Not sure Where to ask this but how would yall, move these projects from one device to another? Im trynna zip compress em rn to move em but i feel dumb rn and missing a better method

[slow dirge]

Version control.

[vivid cedar]

git

[dense otter]

Version control, what?

[slow dirge]

You upload your project to version control. Download in another place.

[stuck flower]

You'd connect both projects to the same remote version control repository. Push from the one that has the files, pull on the one that doesn't

[dense otter]

Ah right, is that thru unity hub by chance or its own thing?

[vivid cedar]

"version control" refers to a whole class of software. There are many version control softwares available.

Git is the most popular

it is not "through unity hub"

[dense otter]

Damnit, always get Confused on how to navigate git or github

[vivid cedar]

learn it once, use it forever

[dense otter]

Welp best time to learn it yeah

Is it all free or do i need to pay for smth?

[fleet canopy]

it is free

you should also be using version control in general while making your project so you can safely make changes

[dense otter]

Ok noice, well ty then, would i jus reinstall git on my other device, login or smth and redownload em?

[vivid cedar]

git itself is free.

There are many cloud providers for git repo hosting (the most popular is GitHub). Most are free up to a point. You can also self host for free (more complicated)

[slow dirge]

Just to point out that unity version control is one other alternative.

[dense otter]

Alr tysm

Is it this, git gui?

[fleet canopy]

github is the cloud provider

github desktop is their client for using git

[slow dirge]

Git is by default a cli program

There are many gui clients/wrappers though.

[dense otter]

So, git gui is like the main source, and i gotta use Another program to actually store em? Sry im jus a bit lost

[slow dirge]

No. Never heard of git gui. It's probably one of the many gui clients.

Git is just git. You can only use it via the command line by default.

[dense otter]

I searched up git, it downloaded smth and now i have git gui

[slow dirge]

https://git-scm.com/

[dense otter]

Ye, downloaded git for windowsx64 setup

[slow dirge]

Yep. I guess they might be including some default gui these days.

Or not. Can you show where you see that git gui?

[dense otter]

Gimme 2 secs then the laptop is having its 3rd stroke

Thats the new stuff i got, bash and cmd bein command stuff

[slow dirge]

Hmm... I think hat might just open a command line.

[dense otter]

Gui opens a whole thing im jus trynna take a pic of it and blur out my name since its there

[slow dirge]

But generally, that should install the git itself as well.

[dense otter]

I got That

[balmy kettle]

https://screenshot.help

[dense otter]

Im takin em from my phone since my laptop would break if i opened discord rn

Altho could try snippin tool tbf

Ok i made a rep on github, theres a Size limit on the files u can drag and drop?

[finite rain]

is there a help channel ?

[near wigeon]

you should not be dragging and dropping files

start with a simple tool like Github Desktop in the beginning and let gui do the work proper. Add your current projects root as exisiting repo it will create repo file, choose Unity gitignore and its done

[slow dirge]

You should make sure to use a unity git ignore file too to avoid upload the Library and many other temp files.

[dense otter]

Wa- ok lets see

[dense otter]

Where would i find that?

[slow dirge]

On the internet 🪄

[dense otter]

Jesus gotta find and fownload like 5 dif things so far jus for one process

Ok, github desktop open, lets see

[near wigeon]

do Add Existing instead of new, choose unity gitginore in the wizard and ur done

the root of project is where you select, where Assets , Project Settings etc. lives

[dense otter]

I added an existing repository i made, it made a folder in my documents

[near wigeon]

I mean you probably wanna track your projects not just empty folder / repo

[dense otter]

I only wanna move em from one device to another, the Only process i wanna do since i can keep track of em myself without programs

But theyre all 300gbs total

I mean i have a 256gb thumbstick, maybe i jus zip em and move em onto there i swear it'll be easier

Then download 5 dif things and trynna navigate em all for one process

[slow dirge]

300gb??how are you measuring the project?

[fleet canopy]

you should be making 1 repo per project

they're not using version control for version controlling, only for file transfer

which is odd, but certainly a method

[slow dirge]

How do you keep track of them? Are you making a full project backup for every little change you make?

[dense otter]

No All projects total equate to 300gbs, i have like 20 maybe?

[fleet canopy]

make 20 repos then? version control is very much not ideal for a one and done file transfer i'd imagine

[dense otter]

I, dont need to, most are in cold storage for now and i dont tend to need to rely on backups

[fleet canopy]

until you lose evrything but ok

[dense otter]

Its a new desktop system, and any changes i lose i can very easily recreate

[slow dirge]

If you're not working on these, it might really be better to just zip them. Just remove the library folders and other unnecessary files.

[dense otter]

Library and, wat would be unnecessary? Like objs maybe?

[fleet canopy]

im pretty sure these are the 3 folders you need to make a project work

[slow dirge]

It depends. You need to look whta you have. Generally assets folder, packages and project settings is enough I think.

[fleet canopy]

if you were using a gitignore with your version control those are the only 3 folders that would get uploaded as well

[dense otter]

I mean mine are all vrchat style projects so, unfortunetly this is what they look like
Maybe i should go over to their discord server and ask whats needed

I never touched it btw this is jus how it "organises" itself

[slow dirge]

Most of it is probably regeneratable automatically, but we don't know for sure. This is not a vr chat server.

[fleet canopy]

most of those are probably generated by packages

[dense otter]

Yeah ill ask over there, but i mean library, logs and obj dont Seem needed so if they're big

Ill start with library for em all for now

[slow dirge]

Yes. Library is often bigger than assets.

[dense otter]

Ty anyhow for the help and sry if i seemed agitated, its late and im dead tired and jus wanna finally set up my new desktop so

[sudden peak]

Hello. I am trying to zoom into objects because I accidentally deleted all the textures, and a weird issue is happening with the camera.

[vivid cedar]

the pink means a broken material of some kind

the other thing looks like a clipping plane issue

[sudden peak]

I know its pink, just how do I fix the camera? Why is everything dissapearing when I get close?

[vivid cedar]

your near clipping plane distance is too big

[sudden peak]

?? how i fix it then?

[vivid cedar]

decrease the near clipping plane distance

also don't allow your camera to go inside things

is your camera like... attached in front of yourplayer's collider or something

[sudden peak]

no im just flying around in the scene trying to fix stuff, this isn't in game

[tawny quail]

Select an object and press F. It should reset your clipping planes iirc

[vivid cedar]

also press F on some object

yeah

[sudden peak]

thxs

[sudden peak]

idk how it even got like that tho lol

[ocean tusk]

Hello there

I am having serious issues with ml agents

[woeful spear]

How can I view a child object in 2D view, independent of its parent object transformation? The Quad here looks tilted in 2D because its parent "EntryLabel" is rotated 25 degrees.

[near wigeon]

instead of 2D view you could probably focus on it and use orthographic mode should be similiar

[woeful spear]

It should look like this from this angle with blue arrow pointing towards me, but I have done it manually. I don't know how to use gizmo for this. It doesn't seem working.

Gizmo is probably considering global coordinates.

[near wigeon]

the one on the right is showing world coordinates yes

[woeful spear]

Yeah so I can't view it in local coordinates?

There must be some way

[near wigeon]

what exactly do you need to do?

are you building UI using meshes?

[woeful spear]

It's basically a rectangle. I want to view it from top.

[woeful spear]

No it's not UI, it's just a quad.

[gusty abyss]

How would someone do reliable VR inside of Linux using a quest

The only way I know is with sidequest

[near wigeon]

yes understand what a quad is lol but Im asking what do you need to do with it, since i Saw text I thought you were trying to make UI

[woeful spear]

Instead of quad, think of this cube. I want to view it from top.

Which I can't, because its parent is rotated.

[near wigeon]

idk maybe Im not understanding, but thats what clicking the gizmo on the right does . Green in this case

[woeful spear]

It only works for green because that's not affected by parent rotation. Doesn't work for red and blue.

If I click red I get this

[near wigeon]

yea don't think you can change that to local

[woeful spear]

Okay. The whole point of me wanting this is, I want to put some text based textures on some shapes like that quad. Without viewing it from top, I can't get a good review of it. Of course I can manually align it to almost perfect but it's still not perfect. Other way is of course reset rotation of parent.

[sweet tartan]

you could write a quick editor script that manipulates the scene view camera rotation if you have to do this a lot

[woeful spear]

I have just reset rotation for now.

But I think this option could be helpful. Blender has this option.

[thick heron]

How can i dial in my art canvas size and ppu? I had my PPU set at 400 which i think is likely too high. I've also heard others talk about drawing at 2x the size you need then resize it before import into unity.

I'd like to target 1080p

[storm patio]

figure out how big you want that object to be in units, decide on how many pixels to use for objects of that size, keep that number consistent
