[thick heron]

is there a range to shoot for where im not being too greedy? I'm worried im going to have too large of textures and have performance problems down the road.

and what I mean by that would be like 64-100 is ok, 400+ is probably too high etc.

[storm patio]

worry about perf when you have issues about perf

[thick heron]

Already do, it's why im trying to check this out early.

[balmy kettle]

if you have performance issues then you should be using the profiler to determine where the actual source of those issues is

[thick heron]

I have been. I think a lot of my problem was false positives from running the game in editor mode and not a standalone build.

I'm just looking to be happy with my choice in ppu before i do too much more art. I just felt like my textures are too large anyways.

[balmy kettle]

the choice of the PPU setting for your textures is unlikely to impact performance. it would be the actual size of those textures that might have any impact. the PPU setting just determines how many pixels of that texture is equivalent to 1 unit of world space

[thick heron]

I think i just started out wrong, I made a 2048x2048 texture that I ended up scaling down a ton in my material (for walls). Maybe i should set my main character to 1 unit or something and figure out how to scale down some of my textures before importing them into unity.

This music is listed as CC0

But in description it also asks for credit?

[pearl oyster]

It's not uncommon that people apply licenses to their stuff without understanding what they mean. It's also not uncommon to ask for credit as a courtesy even if the license doesn't strictly require it

[ocean pumice]

you can also set the import settings for each texture if you want in Unity on a platform basis. Having bigger textures that you dont need is more a matter of project size and how well you can handle that big amount of data. If you set your textures to be lower size on mobile for example, the build result is a compressed version of your source texture. So you should decide, what looks good for the target platform and probably account the highest one and use those settings to lower textures on specific platforms.

[slender robin]

can unity run javascript too? if so how to?

[sly lake]

It cannot.

[autumn aurora]

Hi, I want to ask whether this grid floor comes from Blender or Unity. I already asked an AI, but the answer wasn’t certain. I want to learn animation and I’m currently looking for which software would be good to start with

[slow dirge]

Unity is not an animation software. It's a game engine.

As for your question, it's impossible to answer.

[gray dirge]

Could be any of the hundreds of modeling tools and game engines really

[autumn aurora]

eh really?

But ive seen some of their video descriptions mention using Unity 3D

this one https://youtu.be/ZM-ujwGIso8?si=rdzhJjJYDBJrOKtF

[gray dirge]

One can animate things in unity yes. The animation system just isn't great compared to many other tools available. Most games likely do the animations outside unity and import them into unity

[slow dirge]

You can do it in unity. It's just not ideal tool for that. Professional animators use dedicated software.

[gray dirge]

You shouldn't be looking for an answer to the question "which software was this made in" to which neither we nor AI have an answer to. You should be looking for suitable software to learn animations in. I don't have an answer to that but unity wouldn't be it if you are looking to make complicated animations like characters

People have made 3D games inside Geometry Dash, that doesn't mean you should use Geometry Dash to start learning 3D game making

[dreamy snow]

so Hello here again >D im using unity for about 5 years now and it newer stops surprising me 😄 so now im creating a build of my URP project. and in build everything is pink ,, well mostly everytihng , terain sahder is not inclued its invisible some assets have color 😄 why is that happening ? suggestions ? is there any specific button i need to check to include the shaders so game is actualy vissable ?

im using default URP setttings havnt changed anything

[ocean pumice]

your quality settings are setup correctly? Like the URP asset? Also do you use addressables probably and have your assets in there but not built yet?

[dreamy snow]

no addresables. and yeah as i said its all default .. nothing has ben changed.

its a simple scene with few trees a aterrain and additional 10 assets like character and partycle systems (which do have a matterial) rest does not

[ocean pumice]

Do you have different quality levels in your quality tab? Are they all provided with an URP asset?

[ocean pumice]

Could imagine, that for mobile or build, its taking another quality preset and missing the asset. But without any screenshots or whatsoever, I am just guessing game here 😄

[dreamy snow]

yes defautl all use same asset that was there by default

[ocean pumice]

Just for testing purpose, you could try to replace it with a new created one by you. See, if it "resets" something on build.

[dreamy snow]

hm i think i tried it but will do again

its just ridicolous how such simple thing is not working 😄

[keen siren]

have ure tried?

[dreamy snow]

what for ?

all teh asset here are for URP i dont need to convert anything

[deft rock]

What platform are you building for ?

[dreamy snow]

PC

Windows

[deft rock]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/pink-materials-appear-on-the-windows-build-platform-but-there-s-no-issue-on-the-mac-platform/1521989/3 ?

[dreamy snow]

well i disabled shader striping which did not help , deleting library was my last resort

whihc gona take some time to import ..

[rich charm]

hi guys. can someone tell me why my environment is looking dark? i dont know how to fix it someone pleasee help me

[ocean pumice]

Does your game window look the same? Any special shader on that platform?

[dreamy snow]

even librabry delete did not work lol

wtf

[ocean pumice]

Would be interesting to know, what happens if you just make a simple project without template and just add a terrain and see if it happens there too

[deft rock]

You've focussed on something really big, so the near plane of the scene camera has changed. Select something smaller (eg a cube) -> press F -> carry on

[deft rock]

The skybox hasn't been touched

he's zoomed out far enough, maybe

[ocean pumice]

If its not the clipping, it still might be a shader thing

[deft rock]

the shader/ lighting is also processing (hence that teal-y blue)

[tawdry yacht]

Just hit F and zoom out

[deft rock]

I wouldn't say it's related to shadows, there's nothing to cast a shadow that big

[ocean pumice]

I think more of a viewport bound shader rendering that line on view of the camera

[dreamy snow]

changed unity version getting this garbage

[deft rock]

That's HDRP, you said you were using URP

[dreamy snow]

well yeah i am

[ocean pumice]

Looks like you installed someHDRP stuff too

[deft rock]

so.. do you think you need anything relating to HDRP? -> no -> remove

[dreamy snow]

well im not even sure why its there cause its a URP templete

and now i cant even build anything cause im on outdated urp setting 😄

[deft rock]

I'm 90% sure that has an auto update

I've never had to manually update renderer settings after updating the project to a new version

[dreamy snow]

well naither did i right so

[ocean pumice]

The errors might just stop your unity from updating/compiling evverything else right now. So I would start removing the HDRP first and see, what happens from there

[inner canyon]

[hardy tulip]

Hello I tried to do a web build for a test project I have that is using Photon Voice 2 but the build fails with undefined symbols "egpv_opus" (a bunch). Is Photon Voice 2 not supported on web builds? I've searched online but can't find a solution.

[dusty wren]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right channel to talk about this, but I'm trying to create a 2D white outline. I've managed to get it working in all four directions (up, down, left, right) but not on the diagonals, and the result is unfortunately not great. I've tried looking for video guides but haven't found anything. Does anyone have a solution ?😄

[slow dirge]

This is not a cybersecurity community.

[slow dirge]

Maybe open a thread in #1390346776804069396 and share more info.

[slow dirge]

They do say that webgl is supported on their asset store page:

Windows, UWP/Hololens, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, WebGL and other platforms are supported.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/audio/photon-voice-2-130518?srsltid=AfmBOoqHJSmnL5Qogm64s2JVQrdEAkX2A50TMgMxLC9C0ely3tOuGGwG

[strong fable]

how do I create a texture2d with a specific format like RGBAFloat?

[hardy tulip]

They do have a WebGL subfolder with some opus files but I could not get it to work. The difference being the WebGL is something like libopus and the others are libopus_egpv. I have no idea if that is the problem.

[inner canyon]

Alr

[slow dirge]

You mean in code? Via the constructor. It takes a format arg:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Texture2D-ctor.html

[slow dirge]

I have no idea either. If you need any real help, you'll need to share more info/context.
Aside from that:

• read their documentation, installation usage guides.
• contact the developers.

[warped oxide]

How do a gameobject that have font material get a glow?

[dreamy snow]

no effect.. tho .. i just gona create new project nad see if that helps

[ocean pumice]

you might wanna reread #📖┃code-of-conduct message about collab and advertising

[strong fable]

I do this:
new(_texSize, _texSize, TextureFormat.RGBAFloat, false)

then:
byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
File.WriteAllBytes(path, bytes);

and it comes out with Automatic as the format which is rgba8. does setting it to rgbafloat "upgrade" the texture?

[tender oasis]

Help.
How do I know my GPU stats (to know if its performing well)
I have 3060ti palit powered with 600 Cougar 80+ bronze

[short wind]

real time or....

[tender oasis]

Anything

[potent geyser]

Performing well in ... what? Unity?

[short wind]

in unity itself there's the profiler

[potent geyser]

If your game is having performance issues, you use the profiler.

[tender oasis]

In general. To avoid damaging the gpu

[potent geyser]

This isn't a PC support server.

[short wind]

this is unlikely

if the machine is well-cooled, windows will manage the hardware load

[tender oasis]

Hm ok

[storm patio]

what "comes out" as automatic?

[strong fable]

if u wanna look at some numbers check out the nvidia app. there are stats like gpu heat. if thats consistently very high u got a problem

[tender oasis]

How to check my gpu heat tho

[potent geyser]

Again, not a PC support server.

[strong fable]

I save the texture2d as a png but that just sets the format in the inspector to automatic. it also ignores stuff like filtering, clamping and all that.

[potent geyser]

Make a thread if you're going to continue this

[strong fable]

google

[drifting jacinth]

Hi Guys?

[gray frigate]

so you're saving a PNG and then having the editor import it as a new texture asset?

that would, indeed, be a completely new asset with no relation to the texture you generated the image file from

[gray frigate]

I presume Unity is writing out an 8-bit PNG here

[tiny silo]

Hey, I just wanted to ask here to be sure but is Unlit the best material for performance? I'm using URP.

At some point I changed the bullets of my 2D shoot-em-up game to no longer use animation components and instead use a shader to make the bullets pulse a little. I've found that the performance was better, but my old laptop and a friend's computer actually had worse performance since then. So I wanted to make some sort of alternate option so those people don't suffer performance issues. Anyone have any insight on this? I figured changing the material to something lighter might be a good workaround for lower end computers which is why I wanted to know what the best material for performance is.

TL;DR Want to know what material to use for bullets to improve performance on lower end machines

[strong fable]

is there any way to change this? EncodeToPNG doesnt take any arguments.

[gray frigate]

what are you trying to accomplish here?

[strong fable]

get a texture with more bits per channel. like rgbafloat instead of rgba8

[gray frigate]

I'm guessing the performance drop came from something else

unless you created a very expensive shader

[gray frigate]

are you trying to import an image and get a texture with more bits per pixel?

[tiny silo]

Could I post what the shader looks like to see if it's heavyweight?

[gray frigate]

you were talking about using EncodeToPNG() earlier

[gray frigate]

did you use a shader graph? if so, you can screenshot it if it's not too large

[tiny silo]

Yeah I did

[strong fable]

I guess EncodeToPNG and WriteAllBytes is importing a new image, so yes.

[gray frigate]

I don't understand why you're doing that, though. Do you have a 16-bit-per-pixel PNG that you want to import into Unity?

[strong fable]

I'm doing vertex animation textures and 8 bits seem to cause some funky precision errors.

[tiny silo]

Is this screenshot sufficient?

[gray frigate]

okay, so you'll need to produce 16-bit textures and import those into Unity

I did something similar recently

I was making a night-sky shader. I encode each star as two pixels in a lookup texture

I imported it as RGBA 64-bit. Notably, this had to be done specifically for desktop platforms – that format isn't available for all platforms

[strong fable]

I create a texture2d with rgbafloat format, write the data to it using setpixel, then encode. so I guess I am producing a 32 bit texture here, no?

[gray frigate]

Only if Unity's PNG encoder actually produces a PNG with more than 8 bits per channel

I don't know what it actually does

[gray frigate]

I created this texture in a Python script using a package that could produce 16-bit PNGs (with integer values)

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/ImageConversion.EncodeToPNG.html

the docs say that you'll get 8 bits per channel

The encoded PNG data will be either 8bit grayscale, RGB or RGBA (depending on the passed in format).

If you want to write out PNGs with more bits per channel, you'll need to look for a third party library

[strong fable]

hmm I guess I could also convert the texture2d into a rendertexture and save that as a rendertexture asset.

[gray frigate]

render texture assets do not serialize the actual texture data

You could, however, just save the texture asset to disk directly

you don't need a PNG

you should be able to do:

AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(tex, "Assets/PathGoesHere/tex.asset");

i do this when constructing texture arrays

So you're creating the vertex animation texture inside of Unity, right?

[strong fable]

[safe garden]

has anyone noticed when you try to swap a prefab for another in inspector sometimes it won't update at all? bit hit or miss for me sometimes

[gray frigate]

what are you generating it from?

[feral smelt]

The thing is i am trying to solve that for 12h+ and its acually really simple. I have a multislot tetris inventory with diffrent pages and overall 120 slots. when i have items on the first and second page and log out and then bag in again, the first page is shown everything fine. When i open the second page the items are there because the slots are blocked but the sprites are missing. After clicking on diffrent page and going back, they are back, but then one sprite is freezing to the screen

[gray frigate]

depending on how this works, a scripted importer might be the way to go

[strong fable]

custom script I wrote

[gray frigate]

you can import a file that tells you how to generate the textures and then add sub-assets to it

[charred fog]

Make sure you are not doing it at runtime on a scene script

[gray frigate]

how are you doing this?

[gray frigate]

I've done this several times, and it can be really nice

no more manually running the script every time the inputs change

the asset import system handles it for you

Notably, I have a VRChat avatar that includes a TV that can display a bunch of messages

some of the messages include audio

i have a scripted importer that reads a .json file and generates animators, textures, VRC menus, etc.

(the names of the menus are mildly broken, whoops)

You can also assign references to existing assets in the importer's inspector

If you went this way, you'd wind up doing something like this

var tex = new Texture2D(...);
// do some stuff to the texture
ctx.AddObjectToAsset(tex, "Animation");

now you have a sub-asset named "Animation"

This will be a bit of a leap from what you have right now, though

[gray frigate]

this is all you really need

[strong fable]

yea going with this for now but what u did is very interesting. I'll probably come back to this at some point tho cuz I love building custom solutions to save time on tedious tasks. thanks for sharing :)

[gray frigate]

importers feel very slick

[strong fable]

works perfectly and the animation is smooth as butter now. thank you very much🙏

[gray frigate]

nice (:

you may be able to get away with 16-bit color, btw

give that a try; it'll cut your VRAM in half if it looks fine

and I believe you can do half-precision floats, so it doesn't need to be 16-bit integers

oh, and make sure the data actually..saved

so, restart the editor

it's possible to have a texture whose data never actually made it back to the CPU

[solar glade]

Hi everyone, I'm facing a weird global physics/sync issue in my Mirror-based football game. Everything was working perfectly last night, but today all Rigidbodies (Players, AI, Ball) are floating and frozen in the air.
The Symptoms:
Gravity seems ignored; objects are stuck mid-air.
Players can still rotate in Update, but rb.linearVelocity does absolutely nothing to their position.
The scene layout has shifted by itself. Spawn points are higher than they should be, and the ball is clipped into the floor, even though the Transform coordinates haven't changed.
This issue persists across different scenes (original map and its copies).
What I've Checked:
Time.timeScale = 1, Physics Gravity = -15, Simulation Mode = Fixed Update.
Layer Collision Matrix is correctly set.
Physics Debugger shows FixedUpdate is running.
It feels like a conflict between Mirror's NetworkTransform and local physics, or a corrupted project setting. Any ideas why positions shifted and physics froze after a simple project restart?

[strong fable]

AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();?

[gray frigate]

Creating the asset should be sufficient

But it's possible to create an asset whose contents aren't actually persisted correctly

it'll look fine until unity has to reload it from the serialized data on disk

notably, I've had problems reading back from the GPU after blitting into a texture

i'm a little fuzzy on how that actually works

[strong fable]

16 bit looks fine and the assets are still there after restarting. 🎉

[gray frigate]

hooray

[strong fable]

I love it when things work

[solar glade]

Why was I ignored? 🤔

[feral smelt]

get behind me buddy

[strong fable]

ignoring you specifically😈

nah there isnt anybody with an answer to ur problem present rn :P

[stuck flower]

I missed the part where any currency was exchanged in order to have some expectations of an answer

This isn't anyone's job, no one is obligated to answer anything

[feral smelt]

so me either even when i wait brave?

[gray frigate]

it's hard to say much given just this information

i see that all of the inactive slots have the "BlueDagger" ID, and the rogue sprite looks like a blue dagger to me

so my first wild guess is that you're not correctly initializing the slots

thus leaving them in whatever position they started in (floating away from the actual grid, in this case)

I'd also guess that's not just one dagger sprite, but actually a big stack of them

fkn hell dude 13h debugging and in the end it was the Slotui called the UpdatedSlot but the set item to slotrect call was to fast it was all about switching 2 lines of code i wanna die fr i refactord it and didnt noticed fuck

slotUIElements[i].gameObject.SetActive(true); 


slotUIElements[i].UpdateSlot();
  → SetItem() liest slotRect.anchoredPosition 
  → Position = (0,0) oder alte Position
  → Alle Icons landen bei (0,0) = Top-Left! 

and the solution was

for (int i = 0; i < slotUIElements.Length; i++)
{
    slotUIElements[i].gameObject.SetActive(shouldShow);
}


Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases();  


for (int i = startSlot; i < endSlot; i++)

if your code depends on the exact position of UI elements, then you will need to ask for a canvas update before continuing, yeah

automatic layout normally only happens once per frame (right before rendering, iirc)

[rich charm]

hi guys. how can i fix this object , when i zoom out it turns pink D:

[gray frigate]

That means that one of its LODs has a broken material

[rich charm]

what do i do

is there any way to fix it ?

[gray frigate]

inspect each of the child objects

each one will have a Mesh Renderer

which has a list of materials

[gray frigate]

I'm guessing that one of the materials is using a shader that either doesn't exist or doesn't work in your render pipeline

(you're probably using the universal render pipeline, or URP)

[rich charm]

should i delete the ones that look pink ?

[gray frigate]

no, you should try to fix their materials

[rich charm]

cos one of them doesnt look p,nk

[gray frigate]

show the entire inspector for the broken object

and unfold the 'Materials' list

[rich charm]

how do i do that im kinda new

[gray frigate]

you already have the object selected

just screenshot the inspector on the right

the window that displays the Transform, Skinned Mesh Renderer, etc.

[rich charm]

did i ss the correct thing ?,

[gray frigate]

I want to see the inspector for "MRock_LOD1". You had it selected here.

[feral smelt]

dude i think thats what a good dev makes stand out knowing the small things always helps

[ocean pumice]

you screenshot the parent object. you need to seleect the LOD version thats pink and then look at the meshrenderers material list. Click on that material, it will show you the "wrong" material

[gray frigate]

I'm guessing the material is missing entirely

[ocean pumice]

Or that 😄

[gray frigate]

In that case, you would drag in the same material used on the LOD0 object

Otherwise, if there is a material, we'll need to look a little closer

[feral smelt]

would you agrre with that?
❌ NEVER read RectTransform positions immediately after layout changes!
✅ ALWAYS call Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases() BEFORE reading positions!
Unity UI is NOT immediate! Layout changes take effect NEXT FRAME unless you force it with Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases()!

[rich charm]

did i ss the correct thing

i ssd lod2

[gray frigate]

Unflod the 'materials' list

[rich charm]

it doesnt unfold

[gray frigate]

click on the small arrow on the left

[gray frigate]

Yes, that's accurate. Ideally, you'd avoid using the absolute position of the UI element entirely, though

(e.g. by positioning things in local space)

[gray frigate]

I said to unfold the Materials list.

[feral smelt]

what happend then?

[gray frigate]

I need to see what materials your renderer is using

[gray frigate]

(you got here by editing a prefab)

[rich charm]

can i call u

[gray frigate]

no, I just need you to follow instructions so I can help you

select MRock_LOD1, unfold the Materials list, and screenshot that

[ocean pumice]

Is that Canvas method the replacement for ForceRebuildLayoutImmediate ?

[gray frigate]

The Canvas method updates all canvases.

ForceRebuildLayoutImmediate would actually be the smarter play here:

LayoutRebuilder.ForceRebuildLayoutImmediate(target);

It only recalculates the layout for the target RectTransform and its children

this assumes that none of your parents need to be laid out, though

[ocean pumice]

Just was wondering as I did not find the docs for it anymore on unity 6

[rich charm]

but it doesnt unfold 😭

[gray frigate]

The documentation moved into a package doc page

[gray frigate]

Screenshot exactly what you are clicking on

[rich charm]

should i screen shot the material on the bottom the asset

paert

when i click it nothing unfold

unfolds

[gray frigate]

Of course, because you aren't clicking on the Materials list.

[gray frigate]

I want you to unfold this list in the inspector.

[rich charm]

the material is not on the left lmao

[gray frigate]

yes, because that's not the inspector

the hierarchy is on the left, and it shows you the objects in your scene

the inspector is on the right, and it shows you things that are attached to the object you've selected

[rich charm]

OHHH LMAOO

[gray frigate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.LayoutRebuilder.html

[gray frigate]

It's very hard to find on google

[gray frigate]

ok, yep, the material is missing

[rich charm]

im sorry it took me so long to figure it out ahahaha🥲

[gray frigate]

well, now you know (:

In this case, you can probably just use the same material that LOD0 uses

[rich charm]

thank you for your patience

[gray frigate]

no problem

[rich charm]

okay thank you soooooo much

[gray frigate]

The other possibility was that LOD1/etc. used a different material with a simpler shader

in that case, you might have had to switch which shader the material used

[ocean pumice]

Yeh thanks, just found it too, but the canvas method is not covered in that package 😄 lil confusing

[gray frigate]

The Canvas method is part of Unity's core.

so it still lives in the main docs https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases.html

it's like how some navmesh stuff is core and some of it is in the AI Navigation package

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, just seen that. so they separated those parts (or maybe they always were)

omg i just fixed it and it looks great . THANK YOU SOOO MUCH

[cloud nebula]

Hello

can i get some help applying these textures to my model

[gray frigate]

You'll want to create a material asset (right click in the project window, then Create > Material)

you can then assign the appropriate textures

You'll need at least the "albedo" texture: that's the base color of the material

[cloud nebula]

can u vc?

[gray frigate]

I see you also have normal maps and some other textures I can't identify

no, I cannot

[craggy pollen]

additionally if those belong to your model,try the import settings it could attach them

[gray frigate]

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

this explains how materials work

[stuck flower]

There aren't any on this channel

[cloud nebula]

the thing is i have a hard time learning cuz i have a learning disability

[stuck flower]

The chances of finding some random person on the internet who has the experience and training necessary to deal with that is nearly zero

[cloud nebula]

oof

[craggy pollen]

do you leanr faster from watching videos, then i´d recommend that at least

[cloud nebula]

sometimes but it really helps to be in aa call and getting help

[craggy pollen]

i ´m sorry but we dont have a vc and there are not many people who would do that volutarely even if there was a vc

[feral smelt]

Hey Fen any suggestions on this bug? So tetris system noticed, i can place but it dosnt it just buggs in the highlite and also it dosnt know that it can be dropped on teh occurted slot and take the bottem slot u know what i mean? (happens while dragging onto the owner slot)

[cloud nebula]

ok then ill try a vid but idk if anyone can find me thee right vid tutorial

[solar glade]

Okay you don’t need to answer this isn’t your job. My problem is already solved, I was just joking since no one replied.

[undone monolith]

Hey where can I find
Create → Localization → String Table Collection

[gray frigate]

that's going to be in the Assets menu

which you get by either:

• right clicking inside the Project window
• opening the Assets menu in the menubar

[undone monolith]

hey you're new I see. Just a warning that people can be a bit rude here, sorry about that 🙂

[stuck flower]

You literally just got an answer in a clear, concise, and comprehensive way. Maybe you should consider your attitude

[undone monolith]

up to Localization yes, but couldn't find anything related to string table

[gray frigate]

they were replying to someone else

[gray frigate]

what version of the Localization package do you have installed?

[stuck flower]

Yeah but it's still a wild thing to say while someone is actively helping you

[gray frigate]

make sure you don't have any compile errors in the console right now

true (:

[undone monolith]

1.5.9

[undone monolith]

there's a nicer way of approaching it. Just saying that you don't need to act rude about 🙂

[undone monolith]

rn the console is clear since I kinda just installed the package

[stuck flower]

I didn't barge into a room and insult everyone while asking for their help

[gray frigate]

ah, I'm on 1.5.8 and that menu path doesn't exist for me, too

I've been creating new table collections through the LocalizedString interface

[undone monolith]

oh where can i find that?

[gray frigate]

e.g., "Label" is a LocalizedString

there must be a new place to create table collections from, though

ah, it looks like you do it through Window > Asset Management > Localization Tables

that window includes a "New Table Collection" button

i suspect that the Localization package wants more control over the creation of the tables

(more than it'd get from letting you create the assets yourself)

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.5/manual/QuickStartGuideWithVariants.html#create-the-asset-table-collection

[amber walrus]

Wassup, how everyone's day so far?

[fierce axle]

Polybrush is no longer supported in Unity 6.3, so what do people use for vertex painting now?

[vivid cedar]

Presumably they keep using the deprecated version or they start using out-of-editor options like Blender

[fierce axle]

I'll need to adjust vertex colors in-engine, I am working on an N64-style project that heavily uses vertex coloring for lighting

[amber walrus]

Can't you use just the material and change that?

[vivid cedar]

then you keep using polybrush or you build your own editor tool (or find one)

[fierce axle]

Nope

[amber walrus]

Dang

[fierce axle]

It threw errors when I updated my project to 6.3, I removed it thinking there would be a more updated version

and then I found out after the fact that it's just deprecated

but I no longer see a way to re-add it into my project

[vivid cedar]

Just hit the + button and do "add by name" and use com.unity.polybrush

[fierce axle]

Oh wow thank you

I don't mind paying for an asset if it's good, is polybrush the best option for in-engine vertex painting?

[vivid cedar]

no idea

[fierce axle]

This worked

thank you

[undone monolith]

Hey I'm trying to use localized text in UI textmesh pro so I added the localize string event component and set the table collection to the string table I created. Where can I find an entry key?

[open reef]

I have 0 idea why my Big boss isnt like animated he is just sliding

oops thats not a MP4

[craggy pollen]

what

[gray frigate]

you set the table collection and table entry in the same place

[austere mason]

Check the String Table Asset you created earlier. The Entry Key is just the 'Key' column name in that table. If it doesn't show up, try hitting 'Refresh' or make sure the table is actually added to the localization settings. It's a bit finicky sometimes

[gray frigate]

it'll look like this if you've got a collection picked, but no entry from that table has been selected

aside: I really wish this menu would filter to the collection you've already got picked

most of the time, component X can only ever meaningfully use strings from table X

so I pre-fill the collection reference

[open reef]

here we go so I am making my friend a Gift and its due in 2 days I just need to just make one enemy and punching animations. I have no idea what to do to fix this

if someone is willing to sit with me and help out or just do It ill pay you for either ^v^

[undone monolith]

Yoo no way. My game is also for a birthday gift for my friend

[open reef]

AAAAYYYY

mine is going to be a Fight with The Dirt Man

[undone monolith]

I have like until April to finish so it's good

[open reef]

i got until THursday

[gusty abyss]

hello guys i need help making my character move i cant solve this thing

[vital basalt]

TLS Allocator ALLOC_TEMP_TLS, underlying allocator ALLOC_TEMP_MAIN has unfreed allocations, size 13793
Anyone got the solution for this? I reverted the project to a state that worked before, but looks like this happens regardless.

[gray frigate]

this is probably not your fault, and also not really fatal

unity is complaining that something didn't correctly dispose of memory after allocating it

I'm always confused by this one, because the entire point of the temp allocator is that you don't need to dispose of the allocations

it's a scratchpad that gets reset each frame

[solar glade]

No problem I wasn’t taking it seriously anyway I replied after fixing my issue people like that don’t matter to me 😎 I’m here to add value to the Unity community.

[steel anchor]

Hey folks. not really sure where to post this:

[rustic pond]

i have a small question so i have small project to do and it's a short serie with 4 episode each having 3 to 5 min and i wanted to know if unity is good for film making this project will mix between real people with green screen and 3d environement instead of using blender and davinci i thought about using unity and davinci has anyone ever made a short film in unity before

[deft rock]

loads of people have used Unity for films, I can't think of any that included live action though

[short wind]

The Lion King

live action motion capture (camera positions, not people pretending to be lions :D) - unity wasn't the final render but it was used to integrate the motion capture with the venv

[keen field]

woah im so good at making games

[keen field]

awesome

[spring jolt]

does any one know how to fix this

i cant see when i get close

[deft rock]

select something that isn't giant, and press F - you've just focussed on something too big

[stuck flower]

Select an object then press F

[spring jolt]

ok ill try

thank you it worked

[austere blaze]

So uh.... my Editor has performance issues and not sure what exactly is causing it 😅

[main pagoda]

This is a blender to unity question. When I export to unity, the quality really drops. The image is blender with Evee rendering. Essentially, the textures seem blurry especially if you walk right up to the building in unity. I've increased all the way 8k in the texture quality, but it still seems pretty bad.

[royal dune]

should I have my snowflakes be pixel art or more realistic, there are going to be a lot of shaders anyway so idk if it matters to much

just want input 🙂

[plain dagger]

If you were using principled BSDF in blender with these high res textures they should work the same unity.
However unity by default enables mip mapping so that + aniso filtering settings may adjust quality at a distance.

[pseudo valley]

[cursive blaze]

Hi guys I’m completely fresh to the server and would like some help sign posting to somewhere where someone could help me learn how to use nvidia ar sdk on unity for a face filter on a obs stream 🙂

[fleet canopy]

you'll need to navigate to their own documentations and things

[cursive blaze]

sorry, what do you mean?

[fleet canopy]

this server isn't so much for external SDKs and tools

if you need help with nvidia or obs then you'll find little to no help here

[cursive blaze]

i really appreciate you spending time to answer this for me

chatgpt is my best hope

[fleet canopy]

chatgpt is not your best hope

[royal dune]

why arent my post processing effects overlaying 🙁

[cursive blaze]

its crazy how deep all this stuff is to learn from stratch on your own

[plain dagger]

Quite a complex thing to try first but the general idea would be linking up face tracking to a rigged model so it would translate and move bones.

[near wigeon]

every big problem gets broken down into smaller easier to solve issus

[cursive blaze]

basically i think i can be the next burnt peanut on arc radiers

i wana use the pro face tracking stuff for my stream and unity seems like the most accurate and flexible

[cursive blaze]

i see i got ya

[plain dagger]

if those words mean nothing you need to find a fully pre made solution (for unity or other)

[royal dune]

Am I supposed to add my post processing effects to the URP global settings or on the other renderers

and how do I make the effects stack

do I just do them in one thingy

[near wigeon]

youre supposed to activate it for the current renderer you're using

default its on

[royal dune]

yeah but they arent stacking

[near wigeon]

whats not stacking

[royal dune]

my effects

its only one or the other

[near wigeon]

you need to use a global volume with a profile that has all the effects you want

[royal dune]

but you cant put shader graphs into a global volume

[cursive blaze]

i dont want a pre made solution, where should i start on this quest as a beginner?

[near wigeon]

what does shader graphs have to do with this now lol

if you want a fullscreen effect with shader graph you need to create a scriptable renderer effect

[plain dagger]

use the full screen pass where you can apply any shader inc a shader graph full screen shader

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/Manual/urp/renderer-features/renderer-feature-full-screen-pass.html

[royal dune]

thats what im doing

I think

so idk why they arent overlaying

[plain dagger]

Is this materials shader a full screen shader? What is it actually doing?
ask for more help in #1391720450752516147

[plain dagger]

Unity learn is a good start https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

[royal dune]

Ok I put it in the rendering general thread

I think it may just be a conflict in the shaders themselves

[cursive blaze]

which version should i learn for optimum face tracking ?

[cursive blaze]

i cant express enough how nice it feels to talk to a human about something like this for a change

[plain dagger]

Use what that essentials course tells you do (6.3). Essentials goes over many parts as you can see. You want to at least do the editor essentials part.

[cursive blaze]

cheers rob ill come back and let you know how i get on

also is there any creators that would charge for programming my setup?

[plain dagger]

Im sure some exist but you cannot persue that more here per #📖┃code-of-conduct

[royal dune]

have any of you guys made a dynamic snow system before bc I cannot find a good tutorial for it

Or on the other hand, would it be a better idea to just make a footprint texture be left in the snow

or just... no

[royal dune]

Is there a way to make terrain smaller

you right mb

[austere mason]

@royal dune
For the snow, use a Render Texture; it's better than pasting on footprint textures. And you can shrink the terrain from the Terrain Settings (the gear icon); don't scale it manually because it will break. Good luck!

[royal dune]

thank you!

[royal dune]

real quick, do I want the cam for the render texture above the whole map, or above the player

[austere mason]

Always track the player. If you put it over the entire map, you'll kill performance due to the required resolution. Just have it follow the player and you're good to go

[royal dune]

ok thank you

[austere mason]

It's the filtering. Change the Filter Mode from Bilinear to Point in the texture settings. If that doesn't fix it, you'll have to add one pixel of padding to each tile in the sprite editor so the background doesn't blend in.

[still quiver]

Could you clarify what adding a pixel of padding means?

[austere mason]

Good question

[austere mason]

It's basically leaving a one-pixel empty border around each tile. That way, when Unity tries to smooth the image, it doesn't "bite" the magenta background color, and you save yourself those lines. In the Sprite Editor, look for "Padding" and set it to 1 or 2

[storm patio]

is this from chatgpt or something

point filter doesn't do smoothing

[royal dune]

im trying to make a dynamic snow thingy and for some reason the trail has an offset to where the particles that are seen by the second camera spawn

it seems like a rotation bc it goes in the opposite direction

but then after I rotate it there is still an offset of sorts

its really weird

[still quiver]

Thanks

[still quiver]

Uhh I don’t see a padding option

[royal dune]

when you are making the texture you just actually leave a gap

[storm patio]

i don't think that's right tbh

[royal dune]

it works sometimes but I dont know if its the issue in this situation

[storm patio]

if you open the png directly in some other application, does it have those artifacts?

[austere mason]

There's a huge difference between knowing how to use Unity and understanding how Unity works

[royal dune]

bro it took you like two years to say "leave a one pixel gap around the edge" I think thats what they meant

[still quiver]

Not sure what you meant but this is the original image

Also I’m using isometric cut

[storm patio]

zoom into the original image, does it have the same artifacts

i can't tell from the photo of the screen

https://screenshot.help

[austere mason]

I'm not very good with English, so I have to write and translate

[storm patio]

look at the edges of the tile, does the background bleed in in that original file

[still quiver]

here you go

idk what artifacts are so you can check it yourself if you want

[storm patio]

the artifacts are the streaks of magenta bleeding into the image, the ones you asked about

[still quiver]

i see

[storm patio]

(google "image artifacts" for more info)

[royal dune]

Oh ok mb man

[still quiver]

uhh so what am i supposed to do now

i dont see artifacts

in the original image

[storm patio]

so that's a no, then - then the artifacts come from importing into unity

could you show the import settings for this texture

[still quiver]

here it is

do you guys have a way to shorten those nasty compile and domain reload times?

its not crazy but 20s after every change in my code sums up after a while

[copper gust]

Not really tbh

[short wind]

yes

but not in Unity

[somber spire]

wdym?

[short wind]

well actually not anywhere atm - just conceptual for now

workin on proof of concept 🙂

[balmy kettle]

so then your answer should have been "no" or just not responded, that was completely pointless

[short wind]

howso? it opens the conversation and i AM intersted in whether my solution holds up under real world constraints such as within unified environments a la Unity

[balmy kettle]

"does anyone have a solution to X?"
"yes, but it doesn't exist yet"
that is not an answer to their issue, that is just you attempting to promote whatever the fuck it is you're doing

[short wind]

but as an architectural shift, it's not exactly the thing can be 'try this setting' no

then i did not understand the question - i am very literal person

[copper gust]

Well the question is “how can i shorten those code recompile times in unity”

you can tell it’s about unity as we are in unity-talk in the unity server

[short wind]

in which case you cannot natively, because the compiler is not accesible to modification in that way directly

[copper gust]

Not true !

Stuff like proper assembly definitions setup in certain environments and contexts can reduce the time

[short wind]

oh? you can restructure the archtectural order of the compiling cycle?

[short wind]

ah that's optimisation of the existing linear pathway

[copper gust]

ok

You can but everyone at Unity cannot

Is that correct?

[short wind]

it's not about ability, it's about recognising a different pattern

fourier did all his math on transforms DECADES before anyone thought to put that with graphical rending and give us AA technology

im not claiming a miracle nor trying to sell myself - i am aware of how substantial this approach is and therefore i want to make sure i am taking steps to validate it thoroughly by considering as many angles as i can in advance

[copper gust]

I mean this with no disrespect but this sounds a bit unwell

i understand that

[drifting jacinth]

Guys... Do I Count This As A Bug Or Features?

[short wind]

yes 😄

[viscid egret]

HotReload a good asset for this, couple other approaches make it suck less like...

I think normally the recompile wont happen after you save in your code editor and then click on unity window, I had a way where saving in VSCode would trigger the recompile in the background immediately which definitely helped.

[frank thicket]

hi fellow unity users

[woeful spear]

This is a prefab (1st image) with 3 actions already added to it in On Interact Event (). I created an instance of the prefab (2nd image), and added another action to the instance (did not Apply overrides because objects are only available in main scene). So far it works as expected. Now, I want to add one more action, but inside the prefab itself. I did so (3rd image), but it does not reflect in the instance (4th image).

It seems weird.

[undone monolith]

I tried adding arabic language option using the Unity localisation package but i keep getting these errors and these boxes. Any fix for this?

[copper gust]

Could be wrong but i think it overrides that unity event as a whole, not on a case by case basis

[ocean pumice]

Its not an error but a warning, that your current font asset is not supporting those characters. You gotta set a fallback font for your default language that supports those letters

[undone monolith]

Any fix for this issue?

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, its in my answer... did you read it at all?

[undone monolith]

i did but idk how to fix it

i thought maybe downloading an arabic font would work but it doesn't

[ocean pumice]

as you answered that fast, I assume you didnt google a term of my answer to find out. "Font asset", "Fallback", "Text Mesh Pro". Get yourself into the docs and learn about how to handle fonts. you will thank yourself for pushing through later

[undone monolith]

I've done this for 3 hours btw. Asking here was my last option

[ocean pumice]

So what was your insight when reading the docs. did you setup the fallback font?

[undone monolith]

it only tells me what the fallback does, but it doesn't tell me how to actually do it

[ocean pumice]

Interesting https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.2/manual/FontAssetsFallback.html

[undone monolith]

I'm using 6.3 LTS, not 2022

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, use the dropdown top left and read the same text for the new version... seriously

[undone monolith]

where's 6.3 LTS mann

I only see 2022

[gusty abyss]

Whats a good workflow for purging unused assets after importing a whole lot of assets for prototyping / environment building?

[sage basin]

TMP is a part of UGUI now so the docs are in the UGUI package

[solar panther]

My man. Don't think I had the time developing my games. But i will still make my own games. However, just need to focus up my main channel for now.

[undone monolith]

The fallback system does not appear in the inspector when i click a font

[ocean pumice]

Have them in a folder structure you know you can get rid of. For example having a prototype folder with subfolders for asset types and then cherry pick when done prototyping.

[ocean pumice]

show a screenshot of your inspector of the tmpro asset file of your font

[gusty abyss]

I have sooo many assets it would take forever, is there no automated way to find assets that arent in use in scenes?

[ocean pumice]

from my experience, if you did not build everything to work with that automated tool that might be out there, you gonna have a bad time repairing your assets, because the tool might took some subreferences the wrong way or what not. If you failed to have a clean setup upfront, it will be your time of learning to do better next time. yes, there are assets and tools, even within Unity build in, but I have seen them fail several times on specific assets or references

[undone quarry]

How yall get the unity badge?

[fair cove]

Not sure if theres a way to see what is NOT being used, but you can see what IS being used from the context menu of those assets in your scenes/prefabs, then you can move those to their own folder, theres search filters you can use in the Project window as well to do these checks (although I dont remember what they are and im not sure if you can do more than one at a time), alternatively the other way I know of, is to build a custom editor to do this kind of searching for you, you could even have to do the actual moving/deleting step for you as well, this requires working with Unitys Editor API though which is... A mess on a good day in my experience

[undone monolith]

Anyone??

[undone monolith]

what badge?

[undone quarry]

Oh UNTY badge

[gusty abyss]

alright ill see if I can dig into some filters, thank you for the response!

[gusty abyss]

alright thank you for the information, doesnt seem to be a directly automated way to do it, at least from what ive seen

Those badges are based on the servers your in, I think that server needs to have a certain number of (paid) "boosts" (this server is at lvl 3, so they have access to it), you should be able to apply it from your settings somewhere... Dont remember exactly where but probably under "Appearance" somewhere

[undone monolith]

Why is everyone ignoring me?

[undone monolith]

@ocean pumice did you not see this i sent you?

[fair cove]

I dont think everyone is ignoring you, its more likely not everyone knows the answer to your problem, and so responding "no idea dude" wouldnt be helpful either

[copper gust]

If people don’t have time to help you or don’t know how to help they aren’t going to respond

[undone monolith]

Ohh i see

man localization really is that hard?

[copper gust]

This isn’t even necessarily a localisation issue, just a font one you stumbled on while localising

But yes font stuff can get a bit complicated depending on how deep you go

[ocean pumice]

Do not tag me directly please. I am going to answer when I got time to who I want to. This server is driven by people who offer their free time to support others. Please respect that and be patient or try to solve things on your own with the information given and come back explaining where you are stuck exactly. Someone else might find time to look into it

[ocean pumice]

There are packages like https://github.com/AlexeyPerov/Unity-Dependencies-Hunter but again, use at your own risk and before using it, backup your project!

[gusty abyss]

will check it out thank u!

[radiant pewter]

anyone know whats up with my editor font?

I am using System Font + Bitmap settings, because SDF is insanely blurry, and Inter (Default) font setting causes inspector serialisation to break constantly + lots of visual issues with the font as well

also getting this warning, despite it being set to system scaling which is 100%

Unity 6.0 6000.0.62f

[ocean pumice]

Did you try to use sdf and increase text-sharpness?

[radiant pewter]

yes, it still looks pretty bad (like shimmery?) and blurry in other places, althought not as bad with the system font setting

the weird box thing doesnt appear on it though

[ocean pumice]

Hm, I know there was a windows setting back in the days where you also could change the rendering of fonts, but I am not sure, its affecting Unity at all and if its even there. Have not touched windows workwise for years.

[ocean pumice]

Did you test upgrading to the latest version to see, if that helps?

[radiant pewter]

I'll try that

[ocean pumice]

Also, if your DPI resolution is just too low, there are simply not enough pixels to smooth it out I am afraid. You could test how it looks with 200%, just to be sure, its not a rendering issue but maybe a resolution issue

[radiant pewter]

looks a lot better on 125% scale on windows tbf

all my desktop icons got yeeted to my other monitor but I'm planning to wipe my pc soon anyway lol

thanks for the help

[ocean pumice]

glad you found a workaround for your issue.:)

[latent meadow]

I found the bluriness to be gone on Linux. Windows was horrid. specifically Fedora, KDE, Wayland and multiple monitors with multiple resolutions

but i just got here, so i may have missed a bunch

[ocean pumice]

yeh, also never had the issue on macos too. But I know, there have been some font rendering issues on windows for many situations within the last windows versions I have experienced

[latent meadow]

indeed

[radiant pewter]

yeah honestly even the windows taskbar/icons look a bit blurry on 125% scale, so it really might be a windows thing

[latent meadow]

it definitely is., a known issue with the rendering pipeline of Windows itself

[radiant pewter]

I've been having some issues with my eyes the past half a year so I'm questioning myself 😭

[latent meadow]

nope. do not trick yourself. i did the same. a bit of research will prove it is a Windows specific render issue

[radiant pewter]

restarting reset the editor UI rip

I guess I'll just settle for the boxes visual bug lol

[flat breach]

hi, why does my y rotation(mouse x ) not work there? https://paste.ofcode.org/35CSPU8mSu2ETK8xcVjhQW8

I can't find what I forgot

[short wind]

OK, I had a little play around this morning and i decided that I would showcase my current architectural idea shift in something tangible. So, feel free to explore. https://github.com/lankymon/teaser.git

@balmy kettle @copper gust

[ocean pumice]

First of all, add some debug.logs and see, if your movement is actually passed in. Also log your rotation if it gets clamped the wrong way or similar

[flat breach]

it just doesn't rotate, only the x rotating and for the debugs, what kinda debugs should I add? just looking at the y rotation tells us this is what doesn't work and as the x moves, the rotation is actually passed in

[ocean pumice]

so the verticalRotation is always 0?

[flat breach]

yes the mouse x one

[ocean pumice]

what now, Input.GetAxis(MouseYInput) or verticalRotation?

oh, mouse x one, sorry, so its not the verticalRotation

[flat breach]

mouseXRotation, the one using MouseXInput and using transform.Rotate();

[flat breach]

well it's horizontal rotation but around y axis

[north chasm]

Hello everyone

[ocean pumice]

yeh, but the important part is

        transform.Rotate(0, mouseXRotation, 0);

So getaxis() is returning 0?

[flat breach]

ohh yea I'll debug this float ty

but It's surely 0

I don't know what else would be wrong

[ocean pumice]

So did you setup the MouseXInput correctly in your input settings?

[ocean pumice]

if that is already 0 when logging only that method, its either setup wrong or something is bugged

[flat breach]

looks good

[ocean pumice]

so where does MouseXInput come from if its called Mouse X?

[flat breach]

[SerializeField] private string MouseXInput = "Mouse X";

this is a variable in the script

that I didn't show sorry

[ocean pumice]

ah, yeh you did not share the entire one.

[ocean pumice]

Mousemovement is set to y axis?

[flat breach]

https://paste.ofcode.org/35y4fZNFu2RYMphrAUHFsSk

[woeful spear]

Any better workflow? Without writing/editing code. I just need to apply many fucntions to the instance, but there are many instances, so I can't do it for all the instances. It would be tedious. I could create one and duplicate but, if I need to update some functions, I'd have to do for all copies.

[flat breach]

X axis

[storm patio]

is it set to that value in the inspector?

also, why not use Input.mousePositionDelta

[ocean pumice]

haha yeh, i meant x. 😄

[ocean pumice]

are the instances just identical copies with the same functions?

[woeful spear]

Yes, exact copies of same prefab

[flat breach]

yes it is the same name, and to be honest I don't know a lot about the "new" input system never really needed it yet, is is the same as what I'm currently using?

[copper gust]

If it’s 100% no code then maybe one event for prefab asset and another event used for instance specific overrides

[ocean pumice]

but I guess the methods you assign are in the scene, so you cant make it in prefab mode

You could hold a list of methods in your instancing class and just pass those events over to the instances created by that script

[storm patio]

Input.mousePositionDelta is not part of the new input system

[copper gust]

(If it was code modifying too I’d suggest events used on all of them should be done via code based events and instance only exceptions would be for unity events)

[woeful spear]

That is the issue, many gameobjects that i use in methods are in main scene, so prefab can't 'access' them. Otherwise I would put all methods inside prefab.

[ocean pumice]

Than maybe the list workaround could help you out in that case.

[ocean pumice]

what he means by this is, that it is part of the old system, so you can use it now 😄 @flat breach

[copper gust]

I get why you might not want to but this kinda stuff is why most people more comfortable with programming end up listening to events via code at runtime

since you don’t need to hook them up in advance

[flat breach]

yes but I didn't know about this... I need to learn exactly how to use this, is just like a vector2 returning the mouse position change?

[ocean pumice]

read the docs, it will tell you 😉

[storm patio]

or just read the name, it tells you exactly what it is

but yes, docs will have more info

[woeful spear]

Using coding?

[ocean pumice]

@woeful spear no, this one ⬆️

[woeful spear]

I'm not good at coding currently, but I'd learn some day after getting comfortable with basic game design.

Using GUI.

[flat breach]

is it the main doc?

[copper gust]

Ya forsure, just mentioning so you know why you/people might go down that route

[flat breach]

if yes, it's not really complete and explaining

[ocean pumice]

What are you missing?

[storm patio]

it's not gonna tell you how to use it, if that's what you're looking for. it's just a value given, how you use it is up to your usecase

there are examples though

the best answer one could give for "how to use [field]" is just, access the field.

[flat breach]

examples and clear explanation on what that does

[storm patio]

examples are a bonus in docs, the main content you should pay attention to is the description.

it's a readonly property, it doesn't do anything. it's just there for you to use

[ocean pumice]

"The current mouse position delta in pixel coordinates." to extend this sentence, the change of your position in the last frame.

[flat breach]

OH

[ocean pumice]

So if frame 1 mouse was at 50,20 and frame 2 its on 100,50, it will return 50, 30

[storm patio]

did you really miss the fact it was a readonly property

[flat breach]

oh okay, so I should just its x and y and just pass them in my rotations

[flat breach]

no I didn't, but when I answered to your message I thought it was something I missed and then realized I didn't, nvm

[storm patio]

maybe you did notice but didn't process it, try paying specific attention to that next time you go through docs. with enough experience it'll be second nature

it's kinda like you're going through a dictionary - first thing you check is what that word is, a noun, a verb, an adjective, etc. same here

[ocean pumice]

I agree tho, it could be more descriptive, but they wont change it, as you should be using the new system anyways with new projects.

[flat breach]

okay thank you

[flat breach]

should I really? I feel like the old one is really easy and faster to use, the only thing better with the new system would be for multiple device types

[storm patio]

the new one is far more flexible, and with that comes more complexity

[ocean pumice]

Its just easier to use in my opinion. you setup your action asset, you let it generate a c# script out of it and have a class to use in your script. from there its just one line to hook into the state and get back the value you need. and one day or the other, the old one will be deprecated and you are stuck with older unity versions. But thats just for long living projects, dont know about yours

[flat breach]

alright, I'll switch to it then

[flat breach]

oh yea, it will be deprecated you're right... I should really get used to the new while I can

[ocean pumice]

https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity will cover your first steps I assume

[storm patio]

ive seen a lot of people mention the old one being better for quick prototyping, but tbh afaik the new input system can do everything 1:1 with the old system, except GetAxis with smoothing.

you can do like, Keyboard.current.aKey.isPressed (iirc, might be a method) as a direct analogue to Input.GetKey("A")

and then beyond prototyping, it's a lot more structured with its main system of inputactions, really nice to work with imo

[copper gust]

Very easy to make an extension method that literally does that old convention too

[storm patio]

it's a lot more out of the box, which makes that daunting, but once you realize that they're all separate features and not all required for simple stuff, it falls into place pretty easily

[flat breach]

https://paste.ofcode.org/32zV4fiWaJUmAuLeenniG4P hi, what am I doing wrong? it just is worse than before

[flat breach]

nvm, that code is garbage

[spare cedar]

can someone help? i basically just created a unity project 2 years ago, when i tried to open the project now it s not loading at all , i just click it loads for sometime and nothing happens

also whenever i try to create a new project same thing happens

[arctic portal]

how do i reference the circled object in a script in a prefab

[hasty glade]

you can do that via some script that automatically find that object on scene and set your NPC.managerScript

[hasty glade]

if that was manager you can try Singleton pattern.

[deft rock]

prefabs cannot have references to scene objects, you need to assign the reference when you instantiate it

[arctic portal]

i used gameobject.find. thanks a lot!

[deft rock]

don't use that, it's slow and easily broken

[sly lake]

FindObjectOfType<> is okay, as long as it's infrequent.

Can take a few ms in large scenes

[arctic portal]

but its only once in start()... i should still use something else?

[deft rock]

The best thing to do would be to get whatever spawns the object to pass in the reference

[hasty glade]

for a prototype thats okay

[arctic portal]

what should be the the type though? managerscript?

[sly lake]

Is that the object you want? Then yes. The class name.

[hasty glade]

Your script class. Like... EnemyManager

[deft rock]

Not really. There's little point in getting in the habbit of doing things poorly, prototype or not, when there are better alternatives (like FindObjectOfType<T>())

[sly lake]

This is fastest but can lead to spaghetti code

[arctic portal]

how exactly?

[arctic portal]

thanks let me try that

[deft rock]

can't say I've ever had that problem

[hasty glade]

Oh sorry yea, i misunderstand Gameobject.Find. I think he used FindType like

Than i agreed

[spare cedar]

can someone please tell me what to do in this situation?

[hasty glade]

But for manager, on my opinion, the best is Singleton with ExecutionOrder

but it all depends on the project

[sly lake]

Honestly, I think the FindObjectByType<> pattern is cleanest. It's close to dependency injection

Unity just kinda sucks in that this is so freaking slow

[hasty glade]

GetComponent also too slow, for sure

[sly lake]

GetComponent is fast.

It's an O(n) loop over a set that is almost always tiny

[spare cedar]

okay ig

[sly lake]

FindObjectByType just does that for every object in the scene.

[deft rock]

The NPC component will need to be on the parent object of the prefab.

[SerializeField] private ManagerScript managerScript; //assign in inspector
[SerializeField] private NPC npcPrefab;

private void Spawn()
{
  NPC newNPC = Instantiate(npcPrefab);
  newNPC.ManagerScript = managerScript;
}

[sly lake]

Takes like 2ms for 20,000 live objects.

[hasty glade]

maybe UnityHub bugs?

You changed unity version?

[arctic portal]

ohh got it thanks

[hasty glade]

whats unity version you have?

[undone monolith]

I tried adding arabic language option using the Unity localisation package but i keep getting these errors and these boxes. Any fix for this? I've even tried using Fallbacks

[hasty glade]

This means that the font does not support the characters

you need to check if your font support arabic characters

[undone monolith]

I've downloaded like 4 font assets

None of them work

[hasty glade]

Check on Google Font characters support

[undone monolith]

That's the first site i went to actually

Filtered English and Arabic

[hasty glade]

ok, than try in your TMP_Font file make Atlas size bigger

like 4096 or bigger

[undone monolith]

Those options are locked for me

Like grayed out

[hasty glade]

your TMP Font was static?

[hasty glade]

ohhh that make sens

try Atlas Population for testing chage on Dynamic

[undone monolith]

Do you understand...

How much of hours...

YOU HAVE SAVED ME

😭

[hasty glade]

But!!!

Static more optimized

[undone monolith]

Listen...

You're a fucking genius

I've been at this for hours, starting this morning

😭

[hasty glade]

always happy to help

[jagged yarrow]

in my horror game the enemy can only move when the player is not looking at it. how should i approach writing a script that allows the enemy to only move when the player is not looking at it and path find round different obstacles like trees to get to the player?

im a game development student so i dont have any crazy skills btw

[hasty glade]

Raycast from Player Camera, maybe?

it's FP game?

[primal creek]

you could divide that into 2 parts. first, check if the monster is visible to the player - that could be achieved by a linecast (to check if there's a clear line between two) and frustum check/angle check. then you can use this info to let the monster move or stay in place.

the second part might be a bit more complicated. this could be achieved by navmesh costs, but navmesh doesn't allow you to dynamically change costs without rebaking so you'll need to come up with something different, e.g. creating your own path calculating method where you can apply custom costs (each navmesh triangle could have its own own, e.g. Dictionary<int, int> where the first int is the triangle index and the second one is the triangle cost). but that would require you to code A* and Funnel Algorithm yourself which may be complicated.

[stuck flower]

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

And a navmesh.

On become visible, set navmesh position to your current location (or just disable the agent entirely). On become invisible, set the destination to the player

[jagged yarrow]

yep

[stuck flower]

Fair. It's decent for prototyping but I wouldn't really use it for a finished product

[primal creek]

the problem with angle check is that it might not detect the monster as visible if its center is not on the screen, which can cause it to move if its very close to be off screen but you still see it. GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes() would be more accurate

[fierce shuttle]

does unity have a system for displaying button icons that change based on the active input device (keyboard / controller) or is that something I have to make myself?

[storm patio]

there's no built-in system, but there are probably packages/libraries for that

[vivid cedar]

The Warriors example project has an example of how to do this with the new input system:

https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/InputSystem_Warriors/tree/master/InputSystem_Warriors_Project

[fierce shuttle]

oh cool, thank you! I'll have a read, I wonder if I can somehow adapt this for multiple player input controllers for local multiplayer games

if like one guys on the keyboard and others on controllers for exMple

[flat breach]

hello, even without the player interacting, it calls GG(); , https://paste.ofcode.org/37x4NFTe8E6mP9itLgZP7MP , (for the second script, I could have used a for loop but didn't, same anyway)

[flat breach]

the positions aren't the same by the way

[vivid cedar]

            if (plate.transform.position == plate.realPosition.position)
            {
                brain.GG();
            }```
If brain.GG() is running either those positions are equal or something else is calling it

This is a simple matter of adding a few Debug.Logs to find out what's going on @flat breach

[flat breach]

yes exactly, nothing else is calling it so this condition probably is true, but when I look at the transforms in the editor, they're not the same

[flat breach]

I'll add them now

[vivid cedar]

are you confusing local position and global position

the position in the inspector is the local position.
transform.position is the world space position

[gray dirge]

Maybe worth noting that the equality check between Vector3s doesn't do floating point comparison but rather whether they are within some small margin. No idea whether that makes a difference here

[flat breach]

but world space position is the same as local if the gameobject doesn't have a parent right?

[vivid cedar]

yes

[gray dirge]

two vectors are considered equal if the magnitude of their difference is less than 1e-5

[flat breach]

so this is not the issue..... they're alone

[vivid cedar]

also are you looking at the tool gizmo, or the numbers in the inspector

rewgardless - start using Debug.Log

[flat breach]

I'm not using vector3s here but thanks for teaching me this lol

[flat breach]

numbers in inspector

[vivid cedar]

transform.position is a Vector3

[flat breach]

it's a Vector3 because it has 3 coordinates but it is a Transform and not a Vector3 type no?

[vivid cedar]

transform is a Transform.
transform.position is a Vector3.

[gray dirge]

Without seeing what is going on, I have no idea whether that makes a difference but especially if you are working with very small scene for some reason, the magnitude difference of 1e-5 may become significant

[flat breach]

the transforms I used in the array should be the exact same position as the other plates gameobjects, so I don't think this should be a issue

[vivid cedar]

Have you added logs yet?

[flat breach]

I've just added a debug in the if statement and it's indeed true and calling GG(); but the transforms in editor aren't the same...

[flat breach]

yes one only, wanted to add for transforms but just looking at them in the inspector should be enough ig

[gray dirge]

Try printing both positions in the case they are same. Are you sure you are looking at the correct transform in the array?

[flat breach]

okay I'll do this and I'll look once again to be sure, thank you for helping me

[vivid cedar]

it's not. You should add Debug.Log

[flat breach]

I'm indeed looking at the correct transform in the array and I just printed the transforms in the foreach loop, this printed one position only and this position is the only one correct...

[vivid cedar]

so what's going wrong exactly

[flat breach]

just did and it's a logic issue I guess, the if statement in the foreach is true because only one is true

and all the conditions should be true

[vivid cedar]

yeah that's how it's written

it's going to run GG for EACH ONE that is true

what was the intent?

[flat breach]

yea... I forgot it

[vivid cedar]

Did you want to only do it if they're all correct?

[flat breach]

run GG() when all the conditions are true

[flat breach]

yes

[vivid cedar]

ok yeah you just wrote the logic wrong

[flat breach]

yea....

should I just use a for loop? or there's another better way?

[storm patio]

depends on what you mean by "better"

for would be efficient, might be easier to read than others depending on your preferences

[vivid cedar]

yes you should use a for loop

[flat breach]

easier

but for loop already is easy

[storm patio]

that is entirely up to your preferences and experiences

[vivid cedar]

the logic is pretty simple:

bool allTrue = true;
foreach (thing in thing) {
  if (!someCondition(thing)) {
    allTrue = false;
    break;
  }
}

if (allTrue) DoSomething();```

[flat breach]

my intent by asking this was more just to learn another way..

[storm patio]

other ways are alternatives, not strict improvements

[vivid cedar]

YOu could also use Linq, but it may be less efficient.

[flat breach]

OH yea I can just use 2 foreach.... lol

[vivid cedar]

two?

[storm patio]

why would you do that

[vivid cedar]

You just need one

[flat breach]

I'll use for loop then

[flat breach]

oh yea nvm

[storm patio]

Linq: All https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.linq.enumerable.all?view=net-10.0#system-linq-enumerable-all-1(system-collections-generic-ienumerable((-0))-system-func((-0-system-boolean))))

[flat breach]

I just need one, and then another if (trueVar) {} in the Update();

[storm patio]

mmm markdown does not like that

[flat breach]

yea, thank you so much for helping me

[gray dirge]

If you made that logic into a function/method, you could simplify that by not having to make a variable by returning early if one of the conditions was false and true only if none of the iterations returned: return type was wrong initially

private bool AllTrue(...)
{
    foreach (thing in thing)
    {
        if (!someCondition(thing))
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Still not any better or worse but some prefer this way

[flat breach]

thank you so muchh

hello

Hi i try to learn unity , I’m having an issue with Unity Hub where every time I click Create New Project, the project appears in the Hub list but the actual project folder is not created in the location I selected. I already tried running Unity Hub as administrator, choosing a different folder on my internal drive, and removing and recreating the project, but the result is always the same and Unity keeps showing “Project not found.” Has anyone experienced this before or knows what might be causing this? Thanks.

does linq not just do this? would there be extra garbage given that there aren't any intermediate enumerables

[glad crow]

yeah my next game will be better,i hope so

because when i am getting into finishing the game to about 50% i just don't know how to make the code

[craggy pollen]

because you let the ai do the job and then you come to a point where it gets messy

hi, a question I've asked myself for a year, what do you guys do when you've got so many GameObjects that you have no space anymore in the hierarchy? I've had this multiple times and this leads to me not being able to create a new GameObject and other issues

[proud burrow]

Put them under a parent

[flat breach]

I've already a lot of parents lol but now I'm like stuck and can't put them under parents because they're animated and it just break everything

[proud burrow]

Put the parent under a parent. I dont think thered be problem

Put the animated gameobject under a parent

[flat breach]

there is because depending on the parent position, the animation will be telegraphed

[storm patio]

do you mean translated

shouldn't be an issue if the parent is at the origin

[flat breach]

yes 🤦‍♂️

[flat breach]

but I got a lot of them... making a different parent for each of them would be the same as keeping them alone

[proud burrow]

Put them in one parent.

Why would u separate them

[flat breach]

and then the parent won't be at origin... just one will work

[storm patio]

why would the parent not be at the origin

[proud burrow]

Shove it in chatgpt bro

[flat breach]

I didn't animate them with the parent, I think it would have worked if they originally had a parent

[flat breach]

because how would one parent be at 100 gameobject's origin?

[storm patio]

a parent at position 0,0,0, rotation 0,0,0, scale 1,1,1 effectively mimics the origin.

[storm patio]

gameobjects don't have an origin. i'm talking about the world origin
