[tall hearth]

this looks like unity bugging just restart the editor

[flat breach]

I've already restarted it two times lol

and I googled these errors and I didn't find anything

[tall hearth]

have you tried what it suggested at the top of the error?

[lone maple]

so im on this screen but when i hit install it says failed

[balmy kettle]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[flat breach]

I've not really understood this part, where it says to use a texture with a depth format right?

[gray frigate]

look for the first error in the console

[flat breach]

how to change a texture format?

I'm not familiar with these words

[gray frigate]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/in-66726-enabling-apv-in-urp-with-render-graph-throws-errors-when-ctrl-is-pressed-in-scene-view/938324/8

this may be a bug that's fixed in a later version of the editor

[lone maple]

this what it do

[balmy kettle]

there is nothing here that indicates that it has failed. in fact it appears to be starting the download process

though you should consider updating the hub if it fails again, then go through that checklist the bot sent

[flat breach]

they just say to add an ambient occlusion screen on the URP asset which is something I did but I still have errors

[lone maple]

see

[balmy kettle]

then follow the instructions you were provided

[flat breach]

these errors are different right?

[restive wolf]

Which cinemachine extension do you use for a simple focus on target + rotate freely around this target at a specified distance?

I just want to be able to say.

• Camera distance = 10
• Rotation = (0, 45, 0)

[gray frigate]

If you want direct control over the orientation and position, you can really just remove the camera behaviors and move it yourself

it sounds like you basically just want the orbit behavior, though

[restive wolf]

I know, its just that cinemachine changed its set up recently and I'm trying to figure it out.

[gray frigate]

you're using CM3 now, right?

The special "orbital follow" camera was removed; you can create that with position + aim behaviors now

the "Cinemachine Orbital Follow" behavior is meant to be used with player input (so that you can orbit the camera around), but you can manually set its axis values

[cloud flower]

() whats this called

[gray frigate]

this will sit at a 45 degree angle above the horizon

[gray frigate]

the actual characters are called parentheses

They're used in many contexts in C#

[cloud flower]

so its not any one thing ok

[gray frigate]

such as when invoking a function...

Foo.Bar(123);

or when constructing a tuple:

var items = ("one", 2, 3.0);

[cloud flower]

would I ever put stuff inside the par of that

[gray frigate]

Not for that exact method

Unity is looking for a zero-parameter method named "Update"

[cloud flower]

just doing my first bit of rotation code

[restive wolf]

For some reason as I reduce the radius to 0, the camera seems to curl and look upward?

[cloud flower]

its certainly not hello world Im trying to remember stuff from a class I took

[restive wolf]

I guess that's due to the Cinemachine hard Look at

[stuck flower]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_methods.php

[hexed rivet]

Hi bros, I have a problem in the development process and I can't find the cause. I'm working on a pixel mobile game simulation, but my game has a slight issue with the Input System. I'm using both the old Input System and the new Input System. I have a pan operation, or other click operations using the code above. However, these operations only work when using the game window, and don't work when switching to the Simulator window. I used Android before, and it worked in the iOS Simulator window before switching to Android. I hope someone can help me.

[gray frigate]

that'll happen if you have a separate look-at target

If you just want the camera to sit at a specific angle + range, you should use the same Transform for both tracking and look-at

this'll also happen if your Hard Look At component has an offset

same premise

[restive wolf]

Where did they put the follow target field?

[vivid cedar]

I'm not sure exactyly what the issue is but it does kinda seem like you're manually recreating the EventSystem's drag and drop system and you might be better off using the built in one

[gray frigate]

Click the gear. However, the look-at target is currently the same as your tracking target

(You can switch it to use separate transforms)

[restive wolf]

I want the camera to be able to orbit a specific target. The camera must always be looking directly at that target. If I zoom in, we do a straight line path right into the target.

[gray frigate]

As long as you don’t have an offset on the Hard Look At component, it should do what you want

[restive wolf]

What combo of things do I need for that? Orbital Position seems to work, but not aim correctly. Which rotation to do need?

[restive wolf]

Well, what if I want an offset? Like here's the target, but zoom and look at that offset?

[gray frigate]

As your radius goes down, the camera will have to rotate to respect the offset you asked for

Maybe you need to offset the orbital follow component

(Just walked away from my computer, so i can’t check)

back: and yeah, you can apply a Target Offset to the Orbital Follow component

this'll let you slide the camera around

[latent meadow]

that often means a firewall is blocking things, or other permissions on your system

[lone maple]

Ok

[latent meadow]

could also mean bad internet (trying to download over a 4g connection, etc)

[worldly cave]

considering one of their previous screenshots showed a failed firefox download of the hub🧐

[latent meadow]

AH, did not see that 🙂

[modern sky]

Hi there, is it true that in the next Unity update we'll get unification of URP and HDRP

[latent meadow]

last i heard, the unification was canceled for version 7. it has transitioned to a more stepped upgrade/merger

so, i would not expect it any time soon

[modern sky]

I got it, thx

[lone maple]

So how I make a blanket Candice

[potent geyser]

Stop taking photos of your screen, this isn't instagram. And secondly, you need to actually ask a proper question.

[lone maple]

Ok

I got a screenshot

[stuck flower]

https://screenshot.help/

[lone maple]

About something

[stuck flower]

Also, what?

[lone maple]

Like it keeps shutting down

[stuck flower]

If you don't speak English it's going to be difficult to get help here, most of us only know English. You might want to find some resources in whatever your native language is.

[lone maple]

I’m saying unity keep shutting down and I don’t know why

When I try to do a project

[modern sky]

Send the message with error

[lone maple]

Ohk

[nocturne bolt]

"error couldn't decompress package"

I'm trying to add a script package

[shadow heron]

https://screenshot.help/

[nocturne bolt]

It shows you all you need to know btw

I'm new to unity I just wanna know how to fix this error

If anyone needs more info I'll give

[potent geyser]

How can you say that it "shows you all you need to know" and then immediately follow it up with a "if anyone needs more info".

First off, there are two errors in that photo, which is it you're asking about?

And please use screenshots, and show the entire thing.

[nocturne bolt]

Ok I do agree that sounded stupid. But I also said "error couldn't decompress package above it" I'm not on my PC rn I'll send screenshot soon

[potent geyser]

Could be any number of things such as lack of space on your drive.

Or it could be that the error above it is causing some conflict

[onyx stratus]

Hey peeps does anyone know how to get the vector 2 of on-screen ui sticks directly? Or like a way to check if I’m currently pressing them

[near wigeon]

unity Input System comes with samples including touch, I suggest you look over

[onyx stratus]

My laptop isn’t touchscreen how do I test

[near wigeon]

you can probably use Simulator mode but doubt you will get anything with multitouch

you need a device to test proper

[polar basalt]

are you doing this while in prefab mode?

maybe try to get out of that first and then try import

also i would suggest just restart your pc and unity, just to see if that might help, could just be a temporary unity bug

[onyx stratus]

I’ll find an android somewhere

I would’ve used my phone but I don’t have a Mac for Xcode

Apple 🤗

[near wigeon]

yes they have their own ecosystem.
Hackintosh is an option but at your own discretion, and not all hardware is supported but it how I did it before I had a mac

[tropic lake]

Hi, can anyone tell me how I can fix this error?

[cloud flower]

spell it direction maybe?

[tropic lake]

What do you mean? I don't understand.

[hushed hamlet]

You gotta start taking proper screenshots my man

But:
new Vector3...
isnt correct. You probably want:
var direcction = new Vector3(moverHorizontal, 0f, moverVertical);

[cloud flower]

yea I realized that after towards top I initially thought it was a typo

[hushed hamlet]

Sorry that comes across different than intended

[cloud flower]

thats why I just shut up lol

[hushed hamlet]

I was trying to say I think hes ESL 😄

[tropic lake]

But can you help me with how to do it from the correct camera angle, please? I'm new here and I know it's noticeable.

[cloud flower]

you on windows?

or linux

[tropic lake]

windows

[cloud flower]

win shift s brings up sniping tools allows you to draw box then ctrl v here

[tropic lake]

And will that help me progress on my own?

[cloud flower]

no you asked about camera angle I thought you meant for taking screenshots

cause ur SS was bad lol

camera angles in unity is a process but mostly just moving it till you get what you want then lighting

I havent messed with that stuff only 3rd person orbit cameras

but what everyone like sto say

Btw, English is very important for software dev, so maybe consider it a good opportunity to improve it. Though it might be a bit harder to both learn English and programming/gamedev at the same time. 🤔

[celest matrix]

im having problems with wheel collider

[cloud flower]

when importing stuff like jpegs to be used as materials where do you put them for housekeeping purposes?

would it be considered textures?

[charred fog]

Everything you add into assets folder is treated as an asset. If you select it you can see how it chooses to treat it by default.

[lethal mason]

why does this happen when i activate my mesh collider i feel like it should have more of a collision than just 3 polygons

[charred fog]

You have low resolution mesh version attached to it. And it seems malformed. You can see the name of the mesh in properties of the collider.

[lethal mason]

is there any fix

[charred fog]

Yes, edit the model's low resolution mesh so it has a proper shape

[cloud flower]

when looking at game view it looks worse why?

[ocean pumice]

Ill guess, that you are looking from an angle, where the light is in line with your view, so it looks like there are no shadows at all

[vivid halo]

this is what happens

when i try to open visual studio code

anyone know why

[ocean pumice]

are you sure, this is visual studio code and not visual studio?

[vivid halo]

wait ye this is visual studio

which one do i use?

[ocean pumice]

You decide? 😄

[vivid halo]

i can use both?

[ocean pumice]

For the same project? Not a good idea. For different ones, why not

[vivid halo]

its this one

[vivid halo]

its for 1 project wdym

[ocean pumice]

than its not visual studio code. Follow these instructions on the IDE you wanna use

!ide

[vagrant root]

💡 IDE Configuration

[vivid halo]

ty i just switched to vs cod

someone teach me how cinemachine works pls

or give me resources for begineers ofc 🤭

[frosty pilot]

Google

[cloud flower]

shit I just did a bunch of stuff while in play mode 🙁 rip

[frosty pilot]

Create prefab

And just unpack later

[cloud flower]

im super stoked yo

unity is cool

[ocean pumice]

Just from looking at your planet, are you using PBR materials and probably ramped up the metallic value which makes the planet light up in the back?

[cloud flower]

Hmmm Ive been messign with this for a second now and I cant figure it out but what would cause my sun to not appear in game view but be totally visible in scene view and yes its checked

[cloud flower]

no metallic is off

and its a 2k texture I pulled from the web

wrapped around a sphere

[ocean pumice]

yeh, that does not change the rendering of it. But okay, than maybe your skybox is emitting something you dont want to.

also smoothness on that planet should be 0, unless you add some reflective surface to it

[cloud flower]

I had .5 0 is too flat imo

0 lefty .5 right

it bounces just a lil light off the surface off planet

.25 looks a lil better

[ocean pumice]

You rather think about what is actually reflecting that light or not. If I think of the moon, there is nothing reflecting light at all. At least not like in your image that looks like ice/water. And your planet looking flat might not be an issue of the lighting bouncing off or not, its about having shadows not being present. You might want to create a normal map from your texture with some tool and also be sure to use shadows at all. Especially in space, there are usually very hard shadows, because there is only one source of light (in our point of view at least ;))

[cloud flower]

yeah im dealing with the issue of my sun not even showing in game view atm

but I totally get what your saying about the one light source and shadows it defintly makes me rethink a lil

this is literally my first iteration lol

[flat breach]

hi, I'd like to make my first multiplayer game, I have watched some tutorials but I feel like I'm not actually learning how to make multiplayer games from watching them, I'm learning how to make their exact same game, do you guys have advices or an asset on the unity asset store which would help me actually learning?

[cloud flower]

Ok well I have my sun visible in my game scene now but its not emitting light

its always something lol

[sly lake]

Creating a networked multiplayer game is hard, and I think you'd need to be beyond the level where you need tutorials to start such a project.

[flat breach]

so I should watch a lot of tutorials and get experience before starting my project? note that my project is just a simple 1v1 car fight game

[sly lake]

Maybe do it in splitscreen first

Learn how to read the documentation and figure things out without tutorials

[flat breach]

should I go for netcode or photon is better? and also do you have a good documentation please?

[sly lake]

I think Photon is probably easier

The best documentation is the one for what you're using 😉

https://doc.photonengine.com/fusion/current/fusion-2-intro

[flat breach]

okay, thank you so much for helping me

[cloud flower]

I cant figure out why smh

its not emitting the light in game

[sly lake]

That's not really "light". It's a bloom effect.

[cloud flower]

so it wont show like that in game?

[sly lake]

I think Fog mentioned something like this the other week, where it's showing post processing in scene view but not game view.

The problem, I think, was using the legacy post processing package with URP. You need to use URP post processing.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/post-processing-bloom.html

[cloud flower]

Post processing was off

[sly lake]

That'll do it

[cloud flower]

Crazy

planet rotates now I wanna see if I can make the sun orbit lol

rather the planet orbit the sun

[ocean pumice]

Best case would be to let your directional light be the sunlight direction in lighting settings and attach your visual object to the directional light to always point at your planet. Hence you only have one in your game. Otherwise directional light is not gonna work in a universe 😉

[forest python]

Anybody have any idea on how to create advanced medical simulations…like tissue tearing and stuff in unity

[inland umbra]

I would say that tissue tearing would be on the cutting edge of realtime graphics. Depends on how “real” you want your simulation to be

[modern sky]

I don't know how to do this correctly but i am using bones in blender for this

[ocean pumice]

Also depends on presimulated animations, which can be as fancy as you are able to achieve on your hardware or if its actual realtime interaction, which is a whole nother story

[nova brook]

i am getting this Alert i think that issue with my project then i created a new project ...again same thing happened ...

[ocean pumice]

The issue is most likely one package giving issues and blocking other packages from being loaded. What happens if you dismiss it. Do you have access to the console and its errors?

[nova brook]

Is that can happen if we uninstalled our previous IDE which is used by unity

bcz i uninstalled jetbrains Rider bcz i am using Visual Studio

[ocean pumice]

I never worked with jetbrains rider. Cant tell if they are touching any unity assets, but I guess not, as unity would revert that. But you still did not answer my questions

[nova brook]

i donT understand your question hahah

[ocean pumice]

you dont understand this?
What happens if you dismiss it. Do you have access to the console and its errors?

[nova brook]

i cant dismiss

[deft rock]

it's a known bug, ignore it

Actually, the fix is available now. It requires you to install a newer version of Unity
https://discussions.unity.com/t/package-manager-invalid-signatures-issue/1705385

[nova brook]

my version is 6000.3.5f1 so what is latest version

[deft rock]

click the link, it takes you to the versions with the fix...

[nova brook]

Thank you

[granite lava]

I'm currently trying to use the animator/animation tools which I've never used too much, it seems I'm only allowed to create animations on the Animation(Ctrl+6) window if I spawn the said Prefab in the cene and then select it, why this arbitrary requirement? Why can't I just open the Animator or Animation window and create it without the need of a present instance in the scene?

[safe garden]

is there a way to load in a level quicker and translate or make modifications to without slowdown? working with a particularly busy prefab and wondered if there's a way to speed up general editing of it, as right now its getting a little laggy

[potent geyser]

In Editor?

You can try turning off Post Processing, and "Always Refresh" (this is off by default though) in the scene view. Also close your game view so you're not rendering that at the same time.

Otherwise, group your objects into containers and H key to hide them.

[glass depot]

why does it say my projects at risk when I downloaded the behavior asset from unity? its from the unity registry by unity so I imagine its obviously safe but im curious

what does this mean?

[deft rock]

it's a bug, update

[deft rock]

see this ☝️

[glass depot]

got it

[nova brook]

Same happen to me just download new version of editor e.g. 6000.3.6f1

then its works fine

if you are using LTS 6.0 download this version

Hi everyone....I'm from Taiwan and this is my first time posting here. I'm trying to improve my game's visual quality by adding SSAO, but I’ve encountered a persistent issue where it shows "Missing RendererFeature" in the Inspector. Clicking "Attempt Fix" does nothing.

this is what I've tried :

Created a brand new Universal Renderer Data asset, but the "Add" menu remains empty/broken.

Reinstalled the Universal RP package (v14.0.11) via Package Manager.

Updated Visual Studio to the latest compatible version to ensure no compilation issues.

Enabled Post Processing on the Main Camera, but the Renderer Feature itself is still missing.

Environment:

Unity Version: 2022.3.52f1

URP Version: 14.0.11

Error Log:

New_URP_Render is missing RendererFeatures
This could be due to missing scripts or compile error.
UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.ScriptableRendererData:ValidateRendererFeatures ()
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

Any advice on how to fix this "Missing Reference" issue so I can finally add SSAO? Thank you.

That looks to me that it's whatever should be rendering in that view, just not rendering?

Unless that canvas has a full grey background filling the screen too

[zinc hill]

It does have a grey background

[potent geyser]

Right. The thing that's supposed to be there, is it a render texture?

[zinc hill]

Like the canvas?

What do you mean by thing that's supposed to be there

This is the canvas where the weird stuff is happening in

Canvas Renderer?

[potent geyser]

The viewport to your game, with the character standing there on the grid. That's what's supposed to be in the upper left, right?

But your canvas is sitting on top it?

[zinc hill]

Yeah that's correct

It's still there

If I leave it going, the game plays as if everything is normal

[potent geyser]

Is it a render texture that you're putting there rendering from the game's camera? I'm trying to see if it's just a canvas sorting thing.

Otherwise, if it's truly an issue with turning off that previous canvas, put a Debug.Log where you call it to turn off and then make the build with development mode on so you can see the console and if it fires that line.

[deft rock]

The 'fighting in...n' isn't clearing when it changes, like clear flags is off or no camera

[zinc hill]

I'll play it a little longer for more info sec

[zinc hill]

I'm not really sure what you mean by this tbh

[deft rock]

How does your game view get displayed in the area that it is supposed to be displayed in

[zinc hill]

https://gyazo.com/1b01449ef47ae24f3cb7fd21fb20f9ed Not sure if this helps but hopefully

[deft rock]

that just shows more of the issue and doesn't answer any questions

[zinc hill]

Yeah, was hoping you guys could see something I couldn't idk

[deft rock]

You need to show the setup and answer questions

[zinc hill]

Sorry just read this, waht do you mean by game view?

[deft rock]

can you not infer that from context?

The part of the game that is not showing where it should be showing ..

[zinc hill]

No I get that, but what do you mean by " how does your game view get displayed in the area."?

https://gyazo.com/d1f78932d5c6d426663625284775a238

Is this what you're meaning?

[potent geyser]

So it's just a hole in the UI that the camera view peeks from behind. In which case, I would do the debug log to see if, where you're calling the UI to close, is actually happening.

[zinc hill]

Oop I clipped the inspector out mb, so the UI and MainMenu Canvas are ScreenSpace, and the World Canvas is world space

[deft rock]

When sharing screenshots/ videos.. do not crop out anything, you inevitably end up hiding useful information

[zinc hill]

Yeah my bad, okay I'll give that a try

[deft rock]

and show the camera(s)

[deft rock]

I think the UI is closing, but the camera isn't clearing (see the countdown text top left)

[zinc hill]

https://gyazo.com/327830bc617ffad5c76f1fe3d7daeab0 Full screen with camera etc

So CountdownScreen and AllMenus are the only 2 that seem to be messing up

[deft rock]

haha - do you think having all the components collapsed is useful? 😄

[cloud flower]

I acidentally went full screen and cant get it back

[plain dagger]

Shift space is the shortcut for the window your mouse is in

Otherwise the ... Menu has the option

[cloud flower]

I dunno how I hit that combo

I really dislike my new ten keyless keys are too close togther

[worldly cave]

i dislike that too about your new ten keyless

[zinc hill]

You want me to expand all the childen under the canvas's?

Or anything specific?

[deft rock]

Do you not know what components are? They are the scripts you put on gameobjects.

I also wanna the scene view with your camera selected

[zinc hill]

Ohh my bad misread, thought you said gameobjects

Kk one sec

https://gyazo.com/40f5442ae9ad46d1acf7f99327cf36f6

Hmm just saw this 'cm' thing, could that be it maybe...

[zinc hill]

Okay, turning off Cinamachine fixes it

[cloud flower]

google says change the wrap mode to repeat from clamp on texture maps and I did this and a few other settings and cant get this seam to go away.... are some images just gonna have seams? or am I doing something wrong still

[zinc hill]

I'll reimport/update cinamachine I guess and take it from there

Ty sir ❤️ @deft rock sorry for brainlessness, Friday night 6am things

[feral smelt]

somone wanna hang out talka bout games and ideas?

[deft rock]

6am is the morning ;p

A good rule to follow, if you're too tired and keep making lots of mistakes, maybe don't ask for help until you're wide awake and can pay attention properly 😛

[cloud flower]

im slowly gonna build a space sim

[zinc hill]

Will do

Regardless though, fr thank you ❤️

[cloud flower]

what kind of game you thinking

[worldly cave]

this is not a social server

[cloud flower]

says who?

[deft rock]

the admins, the mods

[worldly cave]

the rules of the server

theres no offtopic or general chat here

[jagged sage]

Is 8 gb ram enough to make games

[cloud flower]

theres no rule that specifically says that but EVEN THEN what that guy was asking is TECHNICALLY on topic unity is a game engine and people are going to discuss game design etc and want to link with like minded people

[jagged sage]

Ram is too expensive rn

[sly lake]

Yeah but not with Unity

[jagged sage]

Mane

[cosmic igloo]

rly?

is 8gb really too little now?

how times have changed

[cloud flower]

Like If this is how this community is I want zero part in it

[cosmic igloo]

ok :)

[sly lake]

It keeps running out of RAM for me and I have 32 gigs

64 is so freaking expensive

[jagged sage]

[cosmic igloo]

thats gotta be something ur doing wrong

[sly lake]

Just a big project

But yeah, 8GB is basically a toaster now

Good for single-tasking

[worldly cave]

this is a help channel, so unless they needed help with something specific, it was offtopic

[storm patio]

ive gotten along fine with 16 and 24 but that's with 2d. it really depends on what you're going for

[cloud flower]

its actually unity talk.......

[cosmic igloo]

its not

[worldly cave]

its a help channel.

[cosmic igloo]

its general game dev socializing

[worldly cave]

its not

this server is not a social space

there is no off topic or gen chat here

[potent geyser]

You've literally been occupying these channels for days, I think you do lol. But that said, there is no social hangout spots here, there are plenty of sister-servers that have it if you haven't joined. If you want to talk about game ideas, use a #1180170818983051344 or make a thread.

[cosmic igloo]

im agreeing with you

[worldly cave]

my bad

guess i missunderstood what you said but i wouldnt use the word "socializing" ig

[storm patio]

if they wanted to discuss something specific related to unity, they'd be free to.
"anyone wanna hang out" is not what this channel is for

[cosmic igloo]

I was saying that what they were wanting to do was general socializing

[potent geyser]

GDN, Work with Indies, GDL are some servers you can join for general chats.

Lots of people are in multiple of them.

[storm patio]

i think you 2 are referring to different things by "it"
you're referring to the channel being for help
sgt grim/buttered coffee are referring to the topic being "unity talk" vs "socialization"

[cosmic igloo]

im not a stickler for the rules but theres plenty of discord servers in the sea

you might as well just find one more welcoming to what you want

instead of arguing here

[storm patio]

-# you missed an opportunity to say there's plenty in the cloud... but now that i say it, that doesn't quite work 😆

[cosmic igloo]

you dont have to like it, but you also arent trapped here

[remote echo]

Hey there. I am very new to unity and i need some help. I am about to slice a sprite sheet but the sprites are not centered to the individual cells. Is there a good way to go on and slice it? Will it be problematic if they are not centered? I will add a picture :)

Please @ me for your answer because i probably wont see it if not.

[vivid cedar]

looks to me like you already sliced it?

anyway the fact that your sprite sheet has so much dead space in it is a bit odd

[remote echo]

its just the preview so far.

Yes the empty space it what is odd to me too. Is this a problem?

[vivid cedar]

how did you create the spritesheet in the first place

or where did you get it

but the little boxes look fine to me

you can always go back and edit any individual sprite later if you need

[remote echo]

i downloaded it from craftpix.net

it is good to know that i can edit it later. thank you!

[craggy pollen]

if you only have a few of these sprites you can also manually edit them in your photo editor if nothing works out

but i guess you know that already

[remote echo]

I encountered another issue. The guy in the video i am following has several single sprites in his folder after applying the trim. I still have only one. What exactly did I miss?

[balmy kettle]

click the arrow to expand it

[remote echo]

Thank you very much!

[cosmic igloo]

as long as the pivot is where you want it, and stays consistent with each sprite, its fine

post processing?

[worldly cave]

#🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344 to showcase your project, this is a help channel

[boreal dagger]

Yeah, global volume, simple color adjustments

[cosmic igloo]

i feel like this place is quieter than it used to be

we've been replaced by chatgpt

[craggy pollen]

well you noticed

[fickle sonnet]

Can someone help i am trying to make a ps1 style horror game but i cant get the Model with textures from here:https://elbolilloduro.itch.io/diner
to work in unity i tried everything pls help i am a begginer

[cosmic igloo]

what have you tried and why hasnt it worked

[worldly cave]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

also please provide more detailed info as to what exactly isnt working

[near wigeon]

It's quite active, it has a purpose . doesn't mean there needs to be mindless or off topic convos going to be considered active..

[fickle sonnet]

okay

[cosmic igloo]

no i mean i feel like there used to be more people asking for help here

[worldly cave]

if the people here knew how to google search this channel would get like 2 messages a day

and one of them would be a recruitment post for a gtag fan game

[cosmic igloo]

i kinda remember this channel feeling a bit like crabs in a bucket everyone trying to help their problems fixed

[near wigeon]

Hmm maybe they're learning to Google more

[cosmic igloo]

I think instead google has made it easier

you dont need to work as hard when theres AI overview

or u can just ask chatgpt

the problem is what happens when they have issues chatgpt cant solve

and now they got no clue how to do research

[near wigeon]

Sure then they come here to try to fix some ass code gpt wrote they understand nothing of

[cosmic igloo]

its not a good thing no

[near wigeon]

No

[worldly cave]

i feel insulted when someone unironically copy pastes their ai generated code here asking for help

[cosmic igloo]

But i do enjoy helping people with unity its nice to feel smart and knowledgable

[worldly cave]

like yes im here because i want to fix chatgpts bullshit

not because i want to actually help people doy

[cosmic igloo]

i imagine thats why the regulars are here in the first place lol

[wet wren]

yo i imported an fbx file and did a ton of work on it in-scene, then realised i forgot to set the rig type to humanoid and changing the asset's rig type doesnt affect the in-scene version, any way to fix it without redoing all my work?

[near wigeon]

You unpacked it ?

[wet wren]

no

still packed

[near wigeon]

In what way it's not working as humanoid

[worldly cave]

like if you change the rig type to humanoid the in scene version stays with the generic one?

theres no humanoid avatar on it?

[wet wren]

first is for the asset second is for the object

[near wigeon]

What is that. Cropping screenshot like this kills a lot of context

[near wigeon]

Oh this some custom vrchat thing

[wet wren]

mhm

[worldly cave]

yeah for vrchat stuff you need to go to their server for help

[wet wren]

ok

[worldly cave]

we arent qualified

[vagrant root]

Join the growing VRChat community as you explore, play, and create the future of social VR! https://discord.com/invite/vrchat

well to be fair that screenshot you sent doesnt mean much to us since we have no clue how vrchat tools work

and maybe thats the deciding factor to your issue

[fluid shadow]

GUYS I NEED ADVICE
I need feedback for my video game and I wanna know the best way to do that, where can I get as much feedback as possible
https://dripped-out-v1.itch.io/roguelike-playtest

[stuck flower]

#1180170818983051344 or #🏆┃daily-win

[fluid shadow]

Do I just post my plea for advice on those channels or?

[worldly cave]

you got nowhere else to on this server really

[fluid shadow]

I guess, I already put a devlog so thats cool

I REALLY want feedback as quickly as humanly possible, got any advice for websites or something to do that?

[plucky aspen]

yo is it just me or is package manager down rn?

[worldly cave]

i dont think so

[plucky aspen]

the standard 502 error

[worldly cave]

unless someone responds to you here youre just going to have to be patient

[plucky aspen]

im good at feedback

[fluid shadow]

ok thanks anyway

[plucky aspen]

gotta redownload my vm but i can try

[fluid shadow]

really? go ALL OUT, give me all the feedback you can, thanks

[plucky aspen]

alright. dm me the itch link or something and i'll see what i can do

[fluid shadow]

https://dripped-out-v1.itch.io/roguelike-playtest

[plucky aspen]

no viruses right?

imma trust you cus my vm doesn't work on this pc

[fluid shadow]

no no, don't worry, I have footage if you want

[honest stirrup]

Guys, is just me or package manager is down? 😢😢 Just bought a couple of cars model and I can't try

[plucky aspen]

i trust you

[plucky aspen]

i think so. 502 error

[honest stirrup]

Ufffff 😢😢😢😢😢

[plucky aspen]

give it a couple hours should be back up

i just wanted to make my combat :(

[honest stirrup]

Thx dude

[plucky aspen]

@fluid shadow the volume slider no work

[fluid shadow]

ok, noted

[worldly cave]

you 2 should make a thread

[potent geyser]

Can you please make a devlog

[worldly cave]

or just use the devlog that already exists

for this exact game

[fluid shadow]

I did make one just now

[potent geyser]

This isn't the channel for feedback, as you've already been directed.

[fluid shadow]

sorry, I am new here and I not too familiar with this server

[fallen surge]

it is for me.. if you downloaded pack before you can find .unitypackage in unity's cache thou

[plucky aspen]

@fluid shadow
love the gameplay, its fun with a good loop.
love the powerups but they come really often.
menu screen still allows for camera movement
title screen fade to black doesn't work on 1440p properly.
health bar seems unclear to me
reloading seemed a bit unclear
feels like fast paced cod zombies.
overall rating: 6/10. some improvements can be made, however it's great

oh sorry this channel isn't for feedback

didn't read that until i sent the message my bad

[fluid shadow]

ok thanks you guy, really very really really very cool

[uneven gyro]

Anyone else getting gateway 502 error with package manager?

[plucky aspen]

yeah its currently down. give it 2 ish hours it should be fixed

[fallen surge]

yup.. but if you downloaded packs before you can find those in cache

[stone lagoon]

Modding a Unity Game

[gray frigate]

uh oh

[remote echo]

i am trying to import an asset via the unity asset store and i get the following pop up.

1st question: what would i normally do with this?

2nd question: do we know how to get rid of this error?

[gray frigate]

that's two people having the sisue

I'm able to pull up the "Unity Registry" list in my package manager in 2022.3.22f1

ah, the "My Assets" list breaks

[uneven gyro]

ye its the store assets that doesnt work

[remote echo]

how can i fix it?

[gray frigate]

You may still be able to import an asset from the Unity Asset Store page

lemme try that

when I hit "Open in Unity", it winds up showing the Unity Hub

that's not very helpful...

ah, it winds up trying to show the asset in the My Assets tab

which, of course, does not work!

[remote echo]

i have the same thing so far

[gray frigate]

if these were Unity Registry packages, it'd be pretty easy to find the URL that you download the package from

but I dunno how Asset Store products are delivered

i imagine it's more complicated

[remote echo]

i am very inexperienced hence those words sound like magic to me lol

[uneven gyro]

502 is server error so it's on unity

[polar kayak]

Assets Store API is down during the GGJ ! 👏

[polar kayak]

yep. Asset Store is down

xD

[honest stirrup]

Bruh... 2 years since my last update of my android game. Today I've finally decided to update it with a couple of new cars and boom, package manager down 🙃
And ofc i didn't download them before

[remote echo]

what is better for unity? obj, fbx...?

[gray frigate]

FBX feels like the default

[remote echo]

thats good. thanks

[gray frigate]

I don't believe OBJ supports skinned meshes

[cloud flower]

is there a way to update the inspector properties of all these at once or do I have to manually do each one?

[gray frigate]

you can select all of the textures at once

just don't select the material asset

if you have a lot of stuff to select, you could search for t:texture

and then switch the filter to the current directory

it'll look like this

note how 'Shaders' is highlighted, not 'In Assets'

[cloud flower]

ok cool ty

[languid mica]

can someone help unity assests are not showing for me in my assets

ive downloaded them

hello?

[gray frigate]

the asset store is having problems #💻┃unity-talk message

[hollow fiber]

can anyone check for me if my assets loads

im getting [Package Manager Window] Error while getting product update details: 502 Bad Gateway. Something went wrong. Please try again later. [Error 502
UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient:Done (UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient/State,int)

want to see if its me or no

[languid mica]

mine dont say an error it just says refresh error and nothings showing?

[gray frigate]

That error message appears in the Console window

[hollow fiber]

oh for gods sake

must be ggj jam dates causing it

which is really the one time it needs to work asap

[mortal apex]

For a scene I want to have a video set a videoplayer play immediately but currently it take a few frames to load before it plays
How can I reduce the delay?

[languid mica]

so is that why nothings showing in assets manager?

[gray frigate]

Yes; Unity's servers are having some kind of problem right now

[gray frigate]

I wonder if you can make Unity load that video ahead of time

e.g. by trying to play it in a video player before you do the scene swap

[uneven gyro]

I find it weird that their status page says nothing is wrong

[gray frigate]

the Status page is for their cloud services

i also thought to look there

but it doesn't really cover the Asset Store

[uneven gyro]

It has package manager though

[gray frigate]

oh, there it is

[tepid horizon]

Anyone perhaps know why the light is not covering some of the faces on the roof?
This is a unity terrain, ive heard that lighting can be weird on it.. (Baked)

[uneven gyro]

Nothing in their incident history either

[gray frigate]

are you using a double-sided material to render a ceiling with terrain?

[tepid horizon]

No, should I?

[gray frigate]

terrain normally only renders the top side

i'm unsure how you'd use it to make a ceiling!

[tepid horizon]

Ah, I'm using "Digger"

[gray frigate]

ah, okay, that adds overhang support

my first thought is that the ceiling just doesn't face the light there

what does a realtime light with shadows look like?

[tepid horizon]

I tried removing the shadow from it and re-baking but it still doesn't color those faces

[tepid horizon]

ill c

its like some faces refuse to be lit

[gray frigate]

Lower the light

The surfaces are facing completely away from the light

[wicked roost]

hey guys, having a problem, got a new computer, installed hub, installed 6.3lts, tried making a new project, asset store says refresh error, installed unity 6.0lts, same, closed editors, and hub, checked task manager no unity things running, started back up, signed out and in, opened each project 6.3 and 6.0 one at a time, same problem, restarted computer, same problem, turned off firewall same problem. Any ideas please i have thousands of dollars in assets

[gray frigate]

the asset store is down right now

(in the unity client, at least)

[tepid horizon]

Oh yeah I guess after I move it it does light it..

[wicked roost]

oh thank god fen i was losing my mind, thank you for that information

[gray frigate]

smoothing out the ceiling will help

[tepid horizon]

Should I add more bounces or something then? What would be the best way to get it pretty well lit in a cave without getting those dark spots

[gray frigate]

Having at least one indirect bounce will cause the floor to reflect some light onto the ceiling

[tepid horizon]

I guess I could add some more lower intensity lights around the light

[gray frigate]

However, the light will still be much darker than the direct light

Smooth shading will look really weird if there are sharp corners like this

it's the same reason this cube looks wrong

it's trying to smoothly blend between two very different face directions

well, vertex directions

[wicked roost]

ugh wish they would hurry up and fix the assets i was excited to get to work old computer kept trying to cook lol

dont make me install ue

[tepid horizon]

im not having any issues unless it JUST fixed

[wicked roost]

its not just me i checked forums after fen said it was down in the editor

could be regional

its cloud issues from my understanding so regional would make sense

[hollow gorge]

[wicked roost]

ive done what the manual says though, including added step of signing out and reauthorizing, also restarted computer, made a new project, tried multiple versions, deleted the library folder, turned off firewall, gaming works fine even with hairpinning, so theres nothing else i can think of to try, and i am not the only one with the problem.

3 threads on the forum about it

if you have a suggestion beyond that, manual just says to close editor, hub and check task manager all unity things are closed, i did that and the above. if you have anything else that may be useful i am all ears thank you, I most certainly followed the guidelines of attempting to debug myself.

[tepid horizon]

one of the most irrelevant !asks ever unless you were just testing the command

[hollow gorge]

i was just testing to see what happened

[wicked roost]

i think he was suggesting i use the command, and i appreciate that, no need to be agro

[hollow gorge]

I just joined I was just testing to see what it said

[tepid horizon]

if he was the command is irrelevant, it wasnt really a question and you already stated you checked places. you were just complaining

as said he was just testing it

[hollow gorge]

My testing framework package isnt importing correctly I absolutely HATE when this happens

[wicked roost]

just found this too, which is funny because theres more people posting just now its failing for them

[tepid horizon]

does it pull dependencies from the package manager?

[hollow gorge]

No it for some reason is corrupting itself and then isn't letting me remove it cause it is a dependency

[wicked roost]

i think its the same things, some people are getting the refresh error, some people are getting 502 gateway some are just getting corrupted imports

[hollow gorge]

So I have to close my project delete the library folder to reset the packages and see if it happens again

[wicked roost]

are you US?

[hollow gorge]

I am yes

[cloud flower]

I think I have mastered unity space skyboxes it looks beautiful

[wicked roost]

yeah me too, might want to wait till this issue is resolved

[tepid horizon]

what region are you xype?

[wicked roost]

east coast us

[tepid horizon]

huh

same

weird

[hollow gorge]

That looks really good

[wicked roost]

nc specifically

[tepid horizon]

dumb idea but maybe flush your dns cache and restart unity editor

[hollow gorge]

Wait listen to this

command = new EnumerableTestMethodCommand(test);

My EnumerableTestMethodCommand is defined here Yes?

[tepid horizon]

and unity editor cache if that's a thing / where it is idk
perhaps it'll see you're connecting to a bogus server and reroute you

[wicked roost]

its a brand new computer, the old one is getting the same

[tepid horizon]

well no

[hollow gorge]

Thats not the full code but its being defined as something

[tepid horizon]

no its not

[hollow gorge]

so how would I fix it, This is unity's code not mine

[wicked roost]

but i know what you are talking about the asset storage in the roaming folder, but on this pc there is nothing there because its never connected to the asset store, thank you.

[tepid horizon]

wdym, do you get an error?

I suggest #💻┃code-beginner

[gray frigate]

show the error over there, yeah

[narrow nexus]

anyone else having 502 bad gateway errors for the asset store?

[gray frigate]

yep, there's an outage

[tepid horizon]

many people

[narrow nexus]

lovely

[tepid horizon]

try a vpn

[gray frigate]

awful timing for the GGJ

[tepid horizon]

if you have one

[narrow nexus]

yea?

that's supposed to help/

[wicked roost]

see, no adach im having the refresh error, but its a related issue

[tepid horizon]

some people are having issues some arent, if you use a vpn it'll choose a different unity server by nature

[wicked roost]

oh shit yeah let me crank up protonvpn doh lemme try that

[tepid horizon]

im assuming it's a backend problem

and not a unity editor problem that spiked up out of nowhere, i dont recall an update

[narrow nexus]

damn dude good think I used a one time use Privacy card for nord last time

they tried billing me like $200 bucks for the renew

[gray frigate]

another great option would be NASA's Deep Star Maps

https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4851/

You can import these as a Cube texture and use them with the Cubemap shader

I know, it's confusing, because the shader you're currently using is literally a cube...

the "6-sided" shader uses six 2D textures

the "cubemap" shader uses one texture that represents a 360 degree view

[narrow nexus]

no luck with the vpn

[wicked roost]

yep vpn didn't work with texas or singapore

[tepid horizon]

oof

gotta ride the wave then ig

[wicked roost]

yeah i was hoping it was regional just noticed it was all us people reporting it

guess ill go play a game lol

i got colony survival the other day, any good?

[gray frigate]

if you're working on the global game jam right now, this is a great time for the ol' reliable: Programmer Art

i started developing a survival horror game by having a capsule chase the player around..

(now that's some extreme programmer art)

i implemented an elaborate line-of-sight system before I added a model for the main enemy

[wicked roost]

lol, thankfully no im just excited to get to work, i was on an i7 7700k and it was frying with the project im wanting to work on.

only had 16 gigs of ram too, was a terrible time to buy but i needed it

[runic sapphire]

same problem and from germany 😔

[vast geyser]

Anyone know why I cant access my assets from the package manager it just says error

nevermind I read the chat its happening to alot of people

[spiral pelican]

Hey guys, how do i make a pixel art game (it is 32x32 btw) cinemachine camera be smooth? It jitters a lot when i make it smooth, and when i make it instant it just makes the game look less polished

any ideas?

[plucky aspen]

gang is the package manager still down?

or have they finally fixed it

[plucky aspen]

must be still down

[plucky aspen]

you using 2d or 3d?

if 2d: you'd make all of the assets to 32x32. the cinemachine camera you can use the preset to follow the player smoothly, or you can create it yourself using quaternion euler (i believe)
if 3d: similar concept but in a 3d space

[spiral pelican]

2d

[plucky aspen]

so wdym by jittery?

[safe arrow]

is there a way to make a button run a function with multiple parameters or am i going to have to simplify it to run with less? that would be possible, i'd just prefer to use the multiple parameters

[spiral pelican]

like it makes the pixels all fuzzy and stuff

[potent geyser]

Cinemachine has a pixel perfect extension you can look into.

[spiral pelican]

i have it

also here's a 60 fps version

[remote echo]

is unitylearn a good resource to learn unity? Or can someone recommend another good material?

[spiral pelican]

for some reason it's not rly doing it as much in the recording

[spiral pelican]

any ideas?

[spark niche]

where do people get help for stuff with textures?

[potent geyser]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/camera-follow-pixel-perfect/821624/5

According to this person, they haven't found a way. 🤷‍♂️

Also from the documentation:

When a virtual camera with the Pixel Perfect extension is set to follow a Target Group, there may be visible choppiness when the virtual camera is positioned with the Framing Transposer component.```

[spiral pelican]

Nah that's crazy

So it will be stuck like this?

Is there any other ways that yall know of to make the camera better than just static following?

[potent geyser]

What happens if you don't use the framing transposer and just hard lock it to follow the player

[inner jay]

does anyone know whats going on? its not loading any assets for me in the package manager. my friend has the same issue too. unity 6.3

[gray frigate]

there's an outage

[spark niche]

how can i fix the streched textures i don't want to use tilling because it affects all surfaces

[gray frigate]

you'll need to edit the UVs of the model

otherwise, make a material variant with a different tiling setting

[spark niche]

no like how do i make it auto repeat like a checkerboard

[gray frigate]

You do that by editing the UVs.

[spark niche]

of the texture?

[gray frigate]

You could switch to a shader that can do triplanar sampling

[gray frigate]

no, of the model

[gray frigate]

I don't believe Unity comes with one that does this.

[spark niche]

Dude that destoryes the point

[gray frigate]

Triplanar sampling computes a UV coordinate from the world position

[spark niche]

triplanar sampling didnt work

[stoic lake]

then you didnt do it right

[gray frigate]

what did you actually do?

[potent geyser]

Triplanar is the solution (or simply put: world projected textures)

[spark niche]

i think i used a outdated shader graph

[potent geyser]

Triplanar would be "overkill" for a floor like this.

[gray frigate]

it is convenient, though, especially if you want to stick many floor pieces together

it ensures that the textures will match

[potent geyser]

On the horizontal plane?

[stoic lake]

if it is just a plane then just fix the UVs

no reason not to

[gray frigate]

sure

(heck, you could just use the XZ position as the UV coordinate at that point)

[spark niche]

do you guys even know any triplanar shaders

for unity 6 LTS

[potent geyser]

There's a triplanar node for shadergraph

[spiral pelican]

it doesn't jitter, but i like it to be smooth drift

[potent geyser]

Well, it seems like you only have the two options here.

Or you write your own camera controller which doesn't snap to pixels while moving, but "stops" at pixel perfect positions so you don't get the pixel tearing that a pixel perfect camera fixes.

[gray frigate]

#💻┃unity-talk message

this one works with the URP

i'd imagine it would work fine in the HDRP too; you'd just need to add HDRP to the target list

[potent geyser]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/camera/perfect-pixel-camera-by-gg-ez-100000#description

Try this? This claims to fix the jittering.

[gray frigate]

the pixel perfect camera has to align every renderer to the pixel grid, so I wouldn't be surprised if trying to follow multiple objects causes issues

[potent geyser]

The issue seems to be even just one object, as long as it's using the framing transposer since it's a smoothed out camera, I suppose.

[crisp heart]

Hello, I have a bug with the Unity Asset Store on different PCs and different Unity versions.
When I open the Package Manager and go to the “My Assets” tab, it’s completely broken — nothing appears.
Does anyone else have this issue?

[potent geyser]

This is a currently ongoing/known(?) issue yeah

[crisp heart]

Seriously ?

Like no issue possible ?

To fix it

[crisp heart]

Like any other solution to dl different way an asset ?

[potent geyser]

I'm not sure how to answer that question

This is Unity's issue to fix, not yours.

[stuck flower]

You'll just have to wait

[crisp heart]

I cant

i do game jam

so i have 48h to make an game

[potent geyser]

You can work around it for now, there's plenty of other things to do.

[crisp heart]

an i just wana download assets

[stuck flower]

Well, there might be things you can do in the meantime

Work on some of your other things

[crisp heart]

Ok thanks lot !

[shy ferry]

Hey I need help with something

For some reason I cannot load My Assets in package manager

[normal flax]

Glad I'm not the only one having issues, guess I'll just go to bed instead lol, tried checking the status page but there were no issues.

[shy ferry]

holy fuck other people are having the same issue???

[normal flax]

yep its just happening.

[stuck flower]

Package manager is down. You'll just have to wait.

[gray frigate]

your enemies can be cubes for the time being

[normal flax]

haha

my rain will be a particle system cranked to the max

[shy ferry]

Yes

I need Meta XR Sim

Unity XR sim kinda sucks

[shy ferry]

server outage https://assetstore.unity.com/my-assets

this doesnt load

Also this on their website

https://status.unity.com/

[shy ferry]

this doesnt change anything

[ripe sphinx]

my project is using a kinda old version of unity. like 2022.3.10 something

what do i need to consider before i upgrade?

[shy ferry]

atleast I know I didnt fuck up and instead unity did 😂

[shy ferry]

Back up the project

[ripe sphinx]

yeha it's all in a git repo ofc

so like i'm just going to try the upgrade in a feature branch

the feature branch should be neough yeah?

[shy ferry]

and just watch for pipeline changes

[shy ferry]

probably

[ripe sphinx]

i don't have a pipeline

i wanna create oen

but like not one so far

is the upgrade a matter of opening the project in a newer version of the editor?

[shy ferry]

idk

[gray frigate]

Yep

upgrading is pretty painless if you don't depend on experimental features (which can have breaking changes out of nowhere) and don't depend on very specific package versions (e.g. you've embedded and customized a Unity package)

i've taken a project from 2021 to 6.2 and i've barely ever had to think about it

i had one problem where a third party tool depended on an experimental type that changed a bit

i had to fix a few lines of code

[ripe sphinx]

How do you mean embedded and customized?

Like go in and change the code of a library?

That makes sense if thats what you mean

[autumn pagoda]

I’m having some trouble accessing my package manager today, I got 502 bad gateway errors. I updated the Unity Hub also refreshed my licenses. I’m not using VPN and unity is seems to be enabled by the fire wall.
I don’t know what else to do, anyone else having issues with that or it’s only me ?

[autumn pagoda]

Oh ok thanks I should read up I’m dumb

[shy ferry]

no worries

idk when it will be back up

but somethings down

[cloud flower]

how can I lock an oject so it doesnt move.... google says there should be a check mark next to transform but there isnt

[shy ferry]

during run time?

[cloud flower]

no in scene view lock it so it cant be modified

I wanna lock my suns coordinates

[shy ferry]

just use an editor script

[fading cypress]

so annoyed right now, i passed in a reference to an mesh asset rather than the instance and edited the vertices destroying the asset 🙁

[shy ferry]

I am trying to test my project with an emulator asset and I cant, very frustrating...

[fading cypress]

emulator?

wdym

[gray frigate]

yeah -- if you look in Library/PackageCache, you'll see all of the packages installed through the UPM

[shy ferry]

I play test my game with an emulator asset in other projects so I dont have to build it

a simulator

better yet, how do I transfer packages from one project to another?

[woeful spear]

I see this checkbox is used to fix rotation of the imported models. But does it actually fixes it or it's some "fake" effect? I'm confused because it uses the word "Bake".

[grand nacelle]

is the package manager backend down?

[shy ferry]

yes

[grand nacelle]

any info on when would it be back up? kinda need it ina 6h

[shy ferry]

idk

all I know is I could rly use it rn

[naive canyon]

this errors been happening for past hour and ive tried signing out of everything and such, how to fix?

its the my assets portion of the package manager

[shy ferry]

its down

read up

[naive canyon]

huh?

[potent geyser]

Unity is aware

[naive canyon]

ok

[shy ferry]

my assets arent working for anyone

[naive canyon]

ok thanks

[shy ferry]

is there a fix estimate time?

[potent geyser]

They haven't said

[solid yew]

the import settings decide how a model is used in your project. baking axis conversion is 100% fine

[shy ferry]

aw man

[molten acorn]

i need help i cant access my assets for some reason i get this refresh error and any assets i had downloaded i get a 504 error with them and it doesn't matter what unity version im using or account it just started doing this today

oh its down

now dont i feel stupid ive been trying to fix it for the past 6 hours

[near wigeon]

when in doubt anything network / unity related, always check here first
https://status.unity.com/

[molten acorn]

I checked earlier but they didn’t update at that time so I thought it was on my end until I checked it again

[sage basin]

It should be recovered now

[sweet fable]

Hello, how is everyone doing?

was wondering if anyone has an Idea on how to speed down Vuforia APK builds, it takes me like 50 minutes everytime.

[fleet canopy]

you wnana slow it down?

you can try adding unnecessary junk to your scenes and stuff like that

as for speeding it up, you'd probably want to remove unnecessary junk, or it's a limitation of your computer

also since vuforia is an external package/plugin it's unlikely people here will know how to fix problems with it

[final marten]

Hi everyone, I'm getting a 502 Bad Gateway error in the Package Manager. It happens specifically when refreshing the asset list or trying to download an asset.

What I've tried:

• Signed out & signed back in.
• Reinstalled Unity Hub.

Still stuck. Has anyone faced this? Thanks.

[fervent plover]

god, somehow i started a bender 48 hours ago and ended up with an entire backend built + a inspector uitk lmao

[autumn pagoda]

Looks like there is a server outage issue

On Unity side

[cloud flower]

the camera shoudl be just behind

NVM lol my sun was literally too bright I turned it off lol

[fading sable]

Guys do you know any cool unity/unreal discord marketplace servers?

[ripe sphinx]

so i dno't quite understand how asset versioning works

(assets are libraries right?)

i upgraded my project to the latest LTS unity and some asset called assethunterpro is throwing compilation errors

and unity is being opened in safe mode

but i can't find the asset in the package manager

[woeful spear]

Does this copy "World Transform" include Position, Scale and Rotation? Or does it include something else too?

I just want to copy Position Rotation and Scale at once.

There's this "Component" option also. Not sure if that's more appropriate.

[violet thunder]

Do you need to copy the local or world space transform?

Use Copy Component for local space

The values you see in the transform inspector are local space

[violet thunder]

The transform doesnt really have anything else than those 3 values

Although note that world space scale is lossy/not always accurate

[woeful spear]

I basically have two gameobjects, A and B. I've manually done position, scale and rotation adjustment for A using Transform panel in inspector. Now I want same things for B also. So I could do it by copying them (position, scale, rotation values) manually one by one but I'm looking faster way.

I guess I need local values only.

[cloud flower]

does anyone know anyone ui toolkits or assets similiar to eve onlines UI

[celest matrix]

Fixed now i think

[gusty abyss]

does anyone have idea why this issue happening

[fast moss]

are unity's servers breaking lol
i'm stuck in the unity hub with an "activation of your license failed" error

[gusty abyss]

are u refresh the licence

[fast moss]

yep, i've tried that many times.
I've also tried adding a new personal license, running as administrator, temporarily disconnecting my web antivirus, and restarting my PC.

[gusty abyss]

🥲 then it may be the mail that login, i guess

[fast moss]

I was guessing this was a server issue with unity, but I would of seen other people with the issue by now.

Unity has worked perfectly without issue for months before this 🙃

Oh yeah, this is probably after updating unity hub last night.

[fast moss]

"No connection to the Licensing Client has been established. Skip waiting for the connection."

fun

[final marten]

Yes, It fixed now. Thanks.

[pulsar oracle]

Hello Folks, I just started with my first 3d unity project. After making some capsules move I decided to add joystick controls for an android build. In the meantime I got that somewhat working by adding two images (parent-child relation on a canvas) and attaching the on screen stick.

I noticed that if I press the joy stick controls on my android phone the images disappear.

Can someone guide me on how to keep them active? It would also be cool if maybe only the knob moves when I use the joystick and the background image staying in a fixed position.

This is my current setup

[onyx stratus]

Put the onscreen stick component on the knob not the joystick

[pulsar oracle]

I was thinking about that too

[onyx stratus]

Also consider renaming the joystick to joystick bg for clarity

Reduce the opacity by a ton

Then you’re golden

Also really important

[pulsar oracle]

Do I have to inherit the on screen stick script so I can configure if it disappears on click or not?

[onyx stratus]

Untick the raycast target option in the one background one

Do you want it to disappear at all

[pulsar oracle]

No that's the point. Currently the background and knob both disappear and I would want them to not disappear

And couldn't find out how to configure that

[onyx stratus]

It means you might be doing something wrong it doesn’t usually disappear

[pulsar oracle]

On my PC it doesn't disappear thought. It's just an effect on my phone

[onyx stratus]

Strange

Let me go check something

[wanton shuttle]

Hello, yesterday I started to have random package errors, with official unity packages. Is it for me only?

[sour salmon]

Just found a bug with unity 2020.3 lts

If you save something twice very quickly, editor crashes

too bad that it's a dead version so it's never getting fixed

[sage basin]

There was an issue earlier today that should be resolved

If you're still having issues then it's an earlier problem and you should update to the latest patch release

[wanton shuttle]

thanks

[latent meadow]

i point you to the #📖┃code-of-conduct

[cloud flower]

how do I know an assets good from 3 years ago?

[vivid river]

What?

[cloud flower]

on asset store if its listed for sale and last update was 2019 its still for sell has 5 star ratings how do I know its still good?

[fair cove]

What exactly are the similarities your looking for? Are you looking for an asset pack of UI prefabs like buttons, sliders, text etc with a sci-fi theme? Prefabs with very specific functionality like a quest log for example? Third party UI frameworks like NeosisGUI for example? Specific UXML templates or controls? Or something else? AFAIK, Eve Online has a custom UI solution in a proprietary engine and are probably using custom tools

[primal creek]

by checking its compatibility with your current unity version, the reviews etc.

[cloud flower]

well if the last one was 2019 and im using 6.3 odds are it wont work

[primal creek]

it depends on how version specific the asset is. if it uses the features from 2019 that aren't in 6.3 then of course it won't work

[latent meadow]

generally, you can also contact the author directly @ grim

[radiant pewter]

so I'm making a new project for uni - ideally I'd like to use 3.0f1, but uni uses 0.52f1 - am I likely to encounter issues if I keep changing between the two depending on which machine I'm on?

[plain dagger]

If its a model/material/shader then check the render pipeline compatibility. Otherwise old assets probably still work fine

[latent meadow]

safe answer is, 'yes'

[plain dagger]

haha a big fat yes

[radiant pewter]

oof

[plain dagger]

Use their version and suck it up

[radiant pewter]

what about 62 and 58?

[plain dagger]

no

[grave rose]

Helo

[plain dagger]

Its not worth it. The versions are soo similar that things will work but you will encounter odd issues like package versions being auto updated to versions that .52 cant use

[radiant pewter]

I'm kinda worried about the security alert on the older one because this one is going to be multiplayer

and I don't trust myself to remember to change back 😭

[plain dagger]

You can install many versions at once

just use the version your uni uses and once the project is over then you can upgrade it if you want to continue

The actual security issue wont affect you unless you go releasing to the public

[radiant pewter]

yeah that's probably the most sensible way

thanks!

[grave rose]

oh nah, it's alright

[wicked roost]

if you are really worried because your uni is using a security breach version, you could sandbox it in a virtual machine lol

[plain dagger]

If you read what the actual issue is you will know thats not needed

it only affects builds and they can be patched with an official tool

[fair cove]

Generally, you want to stick to the same version as whatever project/team or school your working with, but if you have the storage for it, you could just get both, and use the uni version for your school projects, and a different version for your personal projects - the security alert version really only becomes a concern if you plan to actually make a build and publish that build, for a school assignment, that likely just sits on your unis servers for a bit, is graded and then either archived if they have weird policies or deleted after some time - also when you switch between versions youll have to wait for project upgrades/downgrades each time you open it

[wicked roost]

or just call the university tech department and report the teacher for infecting university computers
