ok but it sounds like shader graps will be easier

am i right?

[flat breach]

hi, I added a virtual effect prefab in my scene and when I play it, I don't see anything, what's the issue?

[craggy pollen]

probably because it only plays once

[flat breach]

oh and so I can't see it because it's too short?

[craggy pollen]

maybe

[flat breach]

hi, how to loop a visual effect? I can't find the looping field anymore

[flat breach]

the sfx doesn't work, I looped it like this https://paste.ofcode.org/qNPWBaY8ZT7nvZ6P76Tnfb

[frail prism]

can i get some help

my organization don't let me make my project

hi why do the unity builtin visual effects not work?

[tulip linden]

I have a 3d world element implementing ⁨IPointerEnterHandler⁩ and visually above it, there's an UI element that also implements ⁨IPointerEnterHandler⁩
I'm only getting callbacks from the 3d elements, but I want the exact opposite as the UI is visually on top
any quick workarounds for this?

[stuck flower]

You need to be at least 13 to use Discord

[storm patio]

i'm not sure, but i would guess that that should happen already. i guess make sure your camera has a graphics raycaster and that your ui elements have "block raycasts" (or similar) enabled

[tulip linden]

they both work independently, but for some reason the physics raycaster is having priority over the graphics raycaster

[storm patio]

ah, not sure then

[plain dagger]

That shouldnt be possible

[frosty pilot]

For 3d world elements i think you need use OnMouseEnter

[storm patio]

that is a separate thing

[plain dagger]

no that no longer works with input system

[storm patio]

and it's for the old system

[frosty pilot]

Interesting

[tulip linden]

I've managed to disable the physics raycaster whenever a UI is open, but it's pretty ugly

[plain dagger]

Its explicitly mentioned in the documentation for these functions

[plain dagger]

is this UI screen space overlay/uitk?

[tulip linden]

screen space - camera, ugui

[frosty pilot]

To be honest, I've never used it since I preferred Physics.CastRay for world objects

[plain dagger]

OnMouseX is okay but a tad shit compared to event system pointer events

[tulip linden]

I have two cameras, one for UI, one for the rest, if it's relevant

[worldly cave]

what render pipeline are you using?

[plain dagger]

Im going to presume that world canvases do their graphic raycasting after physics ones.
The raycasters do have a priority but im not sure if changing this will help you
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.BaseRaycaster.html#UnityEngine_EventSystems_BaseRaycaster_renderOrderPriority

[tulip linden]

URP

[worldly cave]

interesting, so why the 2 cameras

[plain dagger]

that has no effect on this

[worldly cave]

oh yeah no this is just my curiosity lol

[plain dagger]

self plug to my event system example project if that helps anyone: https://github.com/rob5300/Unity-EventSystem-Events-Example

[tulip linden]

sincerely at this point I'm not exactly sure anymore 😂 not sure if it was because of post processing, different rendering settings or whatever

[plain dagger]

I know for a fact that overlay canvases will do their raycasting first, then physics

Did you set the event camera to the main rendering camera on these world canvases? @tulip linden

[tulip linden]

it's targeting the UI camera

[plain dagger]

Why is the ui camera different? Does this canvas need to be using this render mode?

Unless you need some perspective stuff there is no benefit

[tulip linden]

with overlay it works indeed, but there's already a bunch stuff depending on it being screen space 🫠

[plain dagger]

are you using mesh renderers in this ui or rotating things to have perspective?

[tulip linden]

it also works without camera stacking, but then the post processing starts affecting the UI

[plain dagger]

I dont know if you can cheat and have your physics raycaster on this ui camera instead

but the fact that UI renders seperate on a new camera is probably why its not working properly

[tulip linden]

looks like the raycasting only works if the camera can see the elements

[plain dagger]

damn i hoped the raycasters having their own layer filter would make it work

[tulip linden]

the original idea was to have some world particles and maybe some stuff in front of the UI, but we never really did it

[plain dagger]

as it is only using the camera to know where the raycast starts and goes

[tulip linden]

at this point I'm happy with just disabling the physics raycaster whenever a UI opens

[plain dagger]

There are packages to render particles as graphics in UI properly

Thats probably best if you dont really need UI and 3d/2d interactions at the same time

[tulip linden]

I hope that stays the case 😂
thanks a lot for your help

[buoyant monolith]

would making a minecraft type map builder be a good way to make a map? like id make the block models but it would place and break like the game?

[pearl oyster]

Only you can know if that kind of map would be good for the game you're making

[flat breach]

hi guys, I'm trying to figure this out since 5hours, in the assets, I downloaded the visual effect package addons which contains a lightning VFX prefab, but unfortunately this SFX doesn't work and I can't make it appear in my game, thanks.

[worldly cave]

i mean if your game is made up of large voxels like minecraft you would ideally have some sort of tool to make level and map creation easier

you could combine procedural generation or some "voxelization" basically design your levels with larger primitives and have an algorithm automatically place your individual voxels to roughly match the shapes of what you have

it really depends on what kind of game you have and how detailed individual voxels are

[pearl oyster]

They already left ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worldly cave]

maybe he found an answer lol

[flat breach]

time to find another server too 😭

[craggy pollen]

for me it worked perfectly

make sure that it doesnt only play once

[flat breach]

I made a script which calls it each a certain interval of time and I just can't see it, are you sure it works with HDRP?

[craggy pollen]

i tested on urp not sure about hdrp but i dont see any reason why it shouldnt work with that too

[flat breach]

yea fr, I'm using the VisualEffect.SentEvent(); function to play it each intervals, maybe it's the issue but I don't think so, it's probably poorly configured but I can't find the issue though..

[craggy pollen]

is there a reason why you are using code to play that

[flat breach]

yes, I can't find any loop fields

I think the looping option only is on URP

[craggy pollen]

you know that you have the graph settings right. have you found that window

[flat breach]

this right?

[craggy pollen]

no i mean all of the inspector settings where you can change the particle values

[flat breach]

yea there are not loop options here neither

[shadow heron]

There's no offtopic here.

[craggy pollen]

@flat breach

you have to open the graph editor window, you can do that buy pressing edit.

[flat breach]

OH yea, the lifetime is 1.5

[flat breach]

yes I'm in

[craggy pollen]

it is the spawn settings if i am right

[flat breach]

there is a loop duration and a loop count which is equal to 0.5, should I higher this?

[craggy pollen]

not sure how you want it, just try around until you are happy with the results

[flat breach]

thank you so much for helping me, I hope it will work

[craggy pollen]

you can compare it with the burst effect and see what values they used

[remote echo]

i am following unity learn at the moment. in one exercise the standard skybox should be swapped with another one. I did as i was told and it swapped in scene view but it is still the same in cameras mode and in play mode. why is that and how can i fix it?

[flat breach]

oh yea none of the visual effects work, maybe I need to enable something in the project settings

[craggy pollen]

when you select your camera, on the inspector what does it show as clear flag

[remote echo]

i am not sure if i have this checkbox or selection

[craggy pollen]

under envoirement

[plain dagger]

Skybox is changed in lighting settings

And this is saved per scene

@remote echo

[boreal dagger]

In editor, leaving works fine, but in builds, it's broken to fuck???? If I join a server on the build, it's broken. But on editor, It's perfectly fine????? fuck this projecct

[safe garden]

ey guys flying around viewport on a team level but its a bit laggy, is there a way to disable vfx or any post processes that might be slowing down viewport performance, without disabling it in game?

[craggy pollen]

in scene view vfx can be turned off same for the pp

in the scene tab there is this icon that looks like layers on the right from the speaker icon, click on it and you can uncheck the things you dont want

[worldly island]

whats better for 2d game making , Unity or Godot for beginners?

[craggy pollen]

both

[safe garden]

thanks that sped everything up!

[prisma coral]

sup unity pepol

🫃

[safe garden]

thanks its sped up the scene performance nicely but when it saves still takes ages, guess that can't be helped as its quite a chunky prefab

nope…

im mostly an art guy xd

[craggy pollen]

then start with the c# basics first

[prisma coral]

and i wanna make a 2d game someday

dont we all ig

[prisma coral]

yesyes, unity uses C#

im aware but i havent look up the tutorial

[craggy pollen]

but i ment c# outside unity

[prisma coral]

ahhh

why not either way

[craggy pollen]

learnign unity + c# is really overwehlming in the beginning

[prisma coral]

do I use visual studio code right?

[craggy pollen]

game dev is not an easy task, you would have to start small, most peopel will recommend going this way

[prisma coral]

i have it downloaded

[craggy pollen]

visual studio code is fine, visual studio community is even better for unity

[prisma coral]

yes it def is not easy (already by the sound of it)

stuff like animation, music and sfx, and art direction is needed

[craggy pollen]

where there is a will there is a way

start small and easy

thank you so much

[plain dagger]

Audio mixer track volume works or the audio source volume should work too

[strong raft]

anyone can help me with this rq

why does it appear lower quality in the game view

[frosty pilot]

Change free space to full hd

[strong raft]

(im applying post processing btw)

[strong raft]

ok

[plain dagger]

game view is zoomed 2.5x

[frozen schooner]

Hey can i ask in this channel if i could get someone to be a judge in our game jam?

[strong raft]

its on purpose to show that its pixelated in the screenshot

[plain dagger]

wut that will cause it to be worse quality

[strong raft]

no u dont understand

nvm

[worldly cave]

[plain dagger]

Un zoom it then send a screenshot at the real resolution then

how can we help with an issue on top of the issue

[strong raft]

twin the zoom isnt the issue

if it was the issue then the zoom would effect it on the scene view too

the post processing isnt applying properly

thats the issue

[plain dagger]

Is this a sprite renderer?

[strong raft]

yes

[plain dagger]

What post processing is active?

[strong raft]

bloom and vignete

[worldly cave]

what happens when you switch the resolution from free aspect to something like full hd or 4k

nvm i see we moved onto a seperate problem

[worldly cave]

do you have a camera stack?

[strong raft]

wdym

[worldly cave]

ill take that as a no

[strong raft]

im using cinemachine for the camera

[worldly cave]

which pipeline?

[worldly cave]

doesnt tell me much this screenshot.

but it is urp and you have a volume so thats something

does your game view show the post processing before you press play?

[strong raft]

yes

[worldly cave]

and when you click play it disappears?

[strong raft]

no

[worldly cave]

[strong raft]

on the platform u mean?

on the platform in never shows

[worldly cave]

you said your post processing isnt applying properly?

oh

i mean the only thing that would show is the bloom

[frosty pilot]

It feels like there's anti-aliasing on the camera

[worldly cave]

im so confused here

as to what actually is the issue here

[strong raft]

the platform is appearing to be lower quality and not glowing which is why i assumed the issue was being caused by the post processing

even tho in the scene view its high quality but thats bcus i have the pp turned off

[frosty pilot]

Can you show camera settings?

[strong raft]

the cinemachine camera or the normal camera

[plain dagger]

The sprite may just be the wrong resolution for your desired game resolution

[frosty pilot]

Normal

[plain dagger]

Did you mean for it to use point filtering?

[strong raft]

whats point filtering

lemme google it rq

[plain dagger]

go to the sprite asset and change the filtering mode

by default it will be bilinear

[strong raft]

ye it is

do i make it trilinear?

[plain dagger]

No try point

trilinear is only for textures using mip maps

[strong raft]

oh hey it appears crisper now

thanks random stranger with a mustache

[frosty pilot]

It's strange that it looks normal in the scene view

[strong raft]

ikr

[strong raft]

i think the texture is supposed to be using a mipmap its just that it might be bugged out

[frosty pilot]

Usually, when filtering, it is also blurred there

[plain dagger]

Usually for sprites you don't

[strong raft]

im following a tut and in the tut his appears to be using mipmap

[plain dagger]

dont get confused with "spritesheets"

[strong raft]

it sais mipmap filtering and mipmap limit

[plain dagger]

oh well for sprites in a 2d game we want mip map creation OFF

[strong raft]

thats his thingy not mine so i have no idea

[plain dagger]

Why? because they are basically useless with orthogrphic cameras

[strong raft]

also treat me as an idiot cus it helps me learn better and saves u alot of trouble

[strong raft]

how come

[plain dagger]

mip maps make textures look nicer in distance
2d game not have perspective
means mip map useless and wasteful
means we turn off
happy times

[brisk anvil]

anyone know how to get emojies working with text mesh pro?
They seem to require a color font - but that also does not work and return a blank.
I also get the warning:
⁨The character with Unicode value \U0001F37F was not found in the [ArchivoBlack-Regular SDF] font asset or any potential fallbacks. It was replaced by Unicode character \u25A1 in text object [Text (TMP)].⁩

But that's expected.

[plain dagger]

It may be possible with am emoji font as fallback.
Otherwise tmp has functionality for a special emoji fallback texture

[unkempt loom]

Ummmm what's happening here? I'm on 6000.3.3f1, and a big majority of the Unity built-in packages I have installed just have invalid signatures apparently.
Upgrading to 6000.3.6f1 fixed it.

[spare cedar]

honestly making a unity game is very long but im honestly starting to have fun experiencing and learning things

😁

[brisk anvil]

That's what I did, apperently the version on google fonts is not windows compatible.
But the noto color emoji font from their github repository is! so I used that one instead.

[brisk anvil]

to anyone seeing this in the future, get the global, multidevice one from github:
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/blob/main/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

And inside unity: right click on the font, create -> textmeshpro -> color. this is the one you assign in project settings to emoji fallback font.

[plain dagger]

Great! I forget what font I used in the past but this is a better option

Any idea what it is or how I can get rid of it?

need help with smth on the editor. i have downloaded about 5 different editor versions and each one does this.

[bitter sparrow]

I'm not sure what I'm missing to be honest. Why is my material pink?

[warm quest]

this is what it shows

[near wigeon]

!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.

[slow dirge]

You likely have universal render pipeline active, but that material is using a built-in render pipeline shader.

[bitter sparrow]

oh yeah, I forgot about that...

rookie mistake, thanks

[granite lava]

Ah, I reseted it and it went away, thank you

I mean I hope it doesn't come back

[flint kelp]

What options does a group of folks have that are simple hobbyists (more than 3 of us) to collaborate on a project? Is a cloud repo like GitHub our best option if we didn't want the very high prices of UVCS?

[slow dirge]

Unity version control has a free tier if you manage your project smartly(avoid uploading assets and limit it to code). Otherwise yes, github would do, though it has file size limits by default. If you want to upload the assets as well, you'll probably need to use git lfs, which also costs money(not sure how the price compares to unity though, might be cheaper).

[flint kelp]

Thank you. I'm on the git-lfs page and it looks like it is free?

[slow dirge]

Git lfs is just the technology that allows large files workflow in git.
Github is a cloud service that hosts git servers. Git doesn't charge you for anything. Github - does.

You can of course host a git server yourself on your own server. Then you wouldn't need to pay anything for version control.

[polar basalt]

what

[storm patio]

could be some formatted text that's not handled properly, try checking the source

[polar basalt]

nope

[storm patio]

wonderful

well, docs do have a link there, and that summary looks.. generated from some other source, it's not even using triple-slash?
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Profiling.Profiler.html

so i guess it is indeed formatted text that wasn't handled properly, but upstream lol

[latent meadow]

There is a #1390346776804069396 room which would have more information, but perhaps something do with Light Probes, or lack of? not sure, i use realtime

[flint kelp]

I know the diff of git and GitHub. I was talking about git-lfs since you said it had a cost.

[latent meadow]

it is free, to start, but can begin costing money quickly as the bandwidth and storage are both set at 1GB free, then it costs, iirc

not sure if it was mentioned, but one of you guys can local host a git repo, and allow access to the other team members. that would be free

[flint kelp]

ok... thanks for that. Nothing a little research won't hurt us to solve.

[slow dirge]

Git lfs itself does not cost. However github does charge for using it in your repo according to the storage consumed(beyond the free allowance).

Which is basically the same as unity vcs. Though github seems to be a bit more generous.

[latent meadow]

oh wow.. i just realized you had already said all of that (what i repeated) previously. i missed it when i scrolled back the first time

anyone have a tutorial on how to create a tower that a player character slowly captures when they interact with it? like holding down a button on a tower would make it capturable, honestly im not sure where to start on some something like this. (im heading to sleep, so i'll be back in awhile sorry and thank you if someone replies!)

[fair cove]

I would suggest starting with just having input log to the console, then have it log a number calculated over time, based on how long your input is held for, reset the input each time you press it down (unless you want progress to continue after an interruption), and then fire an event when the hold time reaches a number you consider as "complete", you can then apply that logic to your specific tower with a condition - maybe while you are considered "in range" of the tower (which could be with a collider or a raycast or another approach like position distance, frustum view, etc), that is your condition that allows having input held down and increase your number over time, you can have your tower or player subscribe to your "complete" event to decide what to do after

Hi, I'm trying to optimize the build of a navmesh (with navmeshcomponents). From the docs there's written that "When UpdateNavMeshDataAsync() is called, first the hashes are compared and only changed portions are rebuilt. For this reason, the list of sources should always contain all the input geometry, even if they haven't moved or changed. If the list of sources is modified between calls to UpdateNavMeshDataAsync the missing/added sources are considered changes. Try to provide the sources that have not changed since the last update in the same relative order as before because their sequence can affect the values of the hashes."
My game is a survival and has thousands of objects. Since I can't just update a local portion of the navmesh (localbounds seems to cut out everything that was outside of its bound, so it's not an "incremental" update), how can I optimize it? If I, for example, cut down a tree and the tree had index 1 in the source list, would it rebuild every single object in the navmesh?

if you need as much space for your game as possible and you want it free, i couldnt find anything better than ⁨Gitlab⁩ which offers up to 10 Gb free space

[clear reef]

hardest part of your game, finding there right assets.

[spare cedar]

or you can make your own assets

[clear reef]

takes some time to learn

[spare cedar]

true but it scales with the quality of the game

as example making assets for a 3d game would take a bit longer than making ones for 2d

and depends on how much quality they would have etc

but personally i find making my own assets way better for long term

as diff design make the game look not connected

Hello, i've some issues with the action maps, i don't know if it's a bug related to me or of the version.
When i create input actions => actions map, and i relaunch the engine, it disappear from the list
And i can't see it in my inspector choice.
I'm on unity 6000.3.5f2

[flint kelp]

Thank you for that! I did some more reading and it looks like LFS is recommended to use even if you feel your game doesn’t need it immediately? For a basic beginner project that’s 2D this is probably sufficient?

I never developed a 2d, only a few in the pathways, so i dont really know. I did use LFS immediately for myself because i knew im gonna go greedy and i relatively quickly ran out of space so i purchased a mini-pc and configured local git service for myself where i have basically unlimited space for my repositories and besides first investment of purchasing the hardware, im not paying anything while having ... i think 1Tb space atm, i dont really remember

[spare cedar]

try asking in #🖱️┃input-system ig

maybe later when the game will get closer to the release i'll get rid of unused files but for now im happy as i dont need to worry about holding back

[slow dirge]

According to the description you provided, only changed portions are rebuilt, and adding/removing objects to/from list is considered the modified portion, so theoretically, removing one tree from the list should not rebuild the whole thing. Only the part where the tree was.

Hey guys i need help

So i wanna make an 2D UI button glow like with an material or something like that but i watched many tutorials but i am having an 3D based game any Ideas?

[storm patio]

does your game being 3d really matter? you're going for 2d ui

[ashen mica]

where i can report bug ?

[cursive abyss]

Nooo xD

Like Canvas items and stuff it is for an Display ingame but without the glow on the 2D object does it look wierd and not good

I mean the 3D Object Display does have glow but i dont find any ways for the 2D Button

[indigo lake]

simulate the glow by using shaders graphs, i already did that

[cursive abyss]

is there any good tutorial for that on Youtube?

[indigo lake]

ig no

Well, if I understand correctly, the order also matters, so if I remove the first element of the list (e.g. the one at index 1) every other element changed its index and is rebuilt. If I remove an element in the middle of the list, only half of them are rebuilt etc.
Am I misunderstanding that? Hash should be linked to the position in the list, no?

There's literally written:
Try to provide the sources that have not changed since the last update in the same relative order as before because their sequence can affect the values of the hashes

[sturdy mountain]

um, theres a problem , i want to install Screen Space Ambient Occlusion at my URP Render Data to enhance visual quality of my game, but after i click it , it always told me it's missing RenderFeatures and cant install it.

i have tried to creat a new URP Renderer Data to see if it can work , but failed.

did somebody know how to fix this error?

[potent geyser]

Do you have any other compilation errors in your console?

[slow steeple]

im trying to run a project, is my 1st start and it says me that

[sturdy mountain]

NO? i use attempt fix before, but it always report the same things.

[desert swan]

(disregard, setting the emission shape rotation instead of rotating the gameobject it's attached to got me the results i was looking for!)

[potent geyser]

And what does the attempted fix option do?

[sturdy mountain]

I’m not entirely sure what it changes internally.
I clicked it to see if Unity could automatically resolve the issue, but the error still remains.

when i first encountered this problem , i go to ask gemini, and it told me to try the attempted fix buttom

[vivid cedar]

what version of Unity are you on and what version of the URP package?

make sure all your packages are up to date

[sturdy mountain]

My unity version is 2022.3.52f

and the version of URP is 14.0.11, it didn,t told me to update the package

[vivid cedar]

looks like your editor is a bit out of date. The latest version is 2022.3.62f3

I would try upgrading

and then make sure URP is up to date after that

[sturdy mountain]

ok i will try it

thanks

Why are the profiler frames so squished in latest unity versions? I'm suing 6.3, I remember that 2022 and previous ones spread the profiling in the whole space

so that you could clearly see individual frames

I can't even zoom in

anyone else getting unverified from burst?
Reinstalling does not fix it.
this is in 6.3, maybe burst name was changed or something?

[safe garden]

is there a reason why some objects on a hierachy wouldn't group into a gameobject with ctrl shift g? 🤔 works on a solo item but not several

[vivid cedar]

Does it work if you right click -> create empty parent

tbh I didn't even know that keyboard shortcut existed

[safe garden]

I think its because some of the meshes are already in a gameobject, its a big list. Is there a hotkey to unparent them do you know?

[vivid cedar]

I'm not sure what you mean by "some of the meshes are already in a gameobject"

Everything in the hierarchy is a GameObject by definition

meshes are assets, not GameObjects

you can select them all, click and drag to unparent

[strange moon]

So if everything is a gameobject, meshes must be a gameobject as well @vivid cedar

[storm patio]

meshes are assets

[vivid cedar]

No, everything in the hierarchy window is a GameObject. Meshes don't live in the hierarchy window, they live in the project window

[strange moon]

Thanks

[stuck flower]

Meshes are used by the MeshFilter component on a GameObject

The mesh files themselves are not game objects, and the game objects that reference them are not themselves meshes.

[viral obsidian]

does anyone know why my sprite is super low quality? I downloaded this sprite but the quality is noticeably lower and I have no idea how to fix it (sorry if I don't respond super quickly, I'm really busy)

[stoic lake]

what are the settings on the asset

[vivid cedar]

lkooks like it's using bilinear filtering instead of point filtering.

[viral obsidian]

How do I fix/change this

[vivid cedar]

by changingt hte filering settings on it

click on the asset

change the setting in the inspector

[viral obsidian]

okay it worked

thank you so much

[craggy pollen]

try to fix things on your own too

all you had to do is to select the asset and look for filter or quality settings

[viral obsidian]

I have no idea what bilinear filtering means though...

I assumed it was a scaling issue

like my project is too big or something

but I wouldn't have known how to fix that

[main nacelle]

hello!

[sharp plank]

i need some help. I am making a gma and i want an in game screen that is still visible even if i am not focused into the screen but i cant find any tutorials

[vivid cedar]

wdym by "still visible even if i am not focused into the screen"

specifically wdym by "focus"?

Because there's nothing I'm aware of in Unity that becomes invisible when you are not "focused" on it

[sharp plank]

i mean go around the scene and then idk press E to focus on the screen (make the coputer screen in fullscreen)

[vivid cedar]

that part would just be a camera movement

to make an in game screen you generally use a RenderTexture and render it on a quad, or use a world space canvas

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I really need help. If you remember, some of you probably I have in college a project to translate my unity project in unreal engine and I have started working on it but there is a problem I have. I have imported my unity models (.fbx) in unreal engine but I see them all grey they dont have textures, neither materials on them. Is there someone with experience in Unreal Engine, as well as in Unity to help me fix the issue?

I have imported everything like all my textures png, tga into my UE project and not sure how to fix this.

I didn't move my .mat files from Unity because they wont work in UE

it has its own material system

[wraith spade]

now why is unity flagging their own stuff as malicious lmao

wdymmm its been a month singe i used unity ai

[visual pumice]

I keep getting metadata corruption and it's very annoying 🙁

[onyx juniper]

hey guys I am a newbie and I have a problem. where do I ask it? is this the right channel?

About once per day I have to reimport part or all of my project

[visual pumice]

There are categories for the types of problems that can happen. Best to ask in the matching category

[onyx juniper]

it is about a package related to grids and tilemaps. I'm not sure which channel I should use

[gray frigate]

The update method checks for changes and then recomputes the navmesh based on those changes

You need to give it all of the relevant geometry

It should not be as expensive as computing a navmesh from scratch

hi people, i'm a new person in unity and i started the progam of programer jr in unity learn, i've a question, i can use a recent version of Unity like 2022 or i really need the version 2020 as the course says?

[stuck flower]

There might be differences but most basic courses are going to have mostly the same concepts

Unity 6 would have a fairly decent departure in that the new input system is now the default, but the old one still works fine you just have to change some options

[deft rock]

It's best to use the same version as the tutorial you're following, so that you don't need to spend time not on the course when there has been UI/ feature changes

[safe garden]

hey guys, I'm looking to find out which mesh this collider belongs to using physics debugger, but how are you supposed to know which mesh it is? I've got like 200 wall pieces in hierachy

[deft rock]

After selecting it in the scene view, put your cursor over the hierarchy and press F

[safe garden]

I can't select it though, I think it might be a hidden mesh but the collider of said mesh is still appearing

[tame minnow]

oh, okay got it, thank you! i hope the difference between unity 2022 and new versions will be not big

[safe garden]

just trying to breakdown which mesh it could be, I think it may be hidden which is why I can't select, but the collider is still appearing

[deft rock]

you can click and drag to make a selection box, this will select things within it (i can't remember the criteria for the selection, maybe going over the transform pivot..?) .. might help select it

other than that, you're gonna have to systematically disable gameobjects in the heirarhcy and work it out through process of elemination

[deft rock]

2022 -> 6 was quite a big change

[buoyant igloo]

Yes, I'm doing that as I said, that was not my question. It's written that the order and position in the list modify the hash. So, if I remove, for example, the first element in the list, every other element after that is recomputed since its hash changes. Is that correct? Is there a way to not do that?
I'm already giving the full source list every single update

[tame minnow]

I'm really trying to add text to a dark scene which will later get illuminated by lights. SRP/Unlit (errors) or Tmp/DistanceField(Surface) (Magenta of death) don't work. Ive been scouring niche Unity Forums for the past hour. I made it through UI- TMP, It is on scene. Im trying to make a diegetic interface.

EDIT: Figured it out. If anyone is having the same problem:

Reimport TMP (Window -> TextMeshPro -> Import TMP Essentials)
On your text use the following shader: TMP_SDF_URP-LIT

[craggy pollen]

if you are not facing any problems, no need to downgrade

[gray frigate]

Ah, I didn't see your later reply

I am not sure about that. It'd be worth profiling.

I wonder how this compares to using NavMeshObstacle components that are set to carve the mesh

it may be an identical code path

[buoyant igloo]

It doesn't work, the profiler shows nothing in any thread (with deep profiling)

You can also use an aspect ratio fitter to help

hey everyone, you are my last hope, i imported an asset package to my project and my entire scene disappeared, only a few assets remain visible, everything else is an outline and all my prefabs are gone

[plain dagger]

[fervent tusk]

no, it was my main scene

i can send you a link to my stream cause i was streaming it so you can see what imtalking about

[plain dagger]

Ill pass on that but you either opened another scene and got confused, you imported and override your scene or you just have your scene view camera in a weird position or setting

If you overrode the scene and you have no backups /do not use source control you are fucked

[fervent tusk]

yeah... thats what im afraid of, my assets are only showing up as outlines and i reimported all my assets and all that

[fossil smelt]

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've been trying for quite a while.

I can't seem to find a solution for it.

[nocturne bolt]

Y'all I imported a fbx tree model and it has no colliders. I added mesh collider and I still phase through it

[fossil smelt]

customize the collider size

oh wait

is the log and leaves a different model?

[nocturne bolt]

No leaves it a dead tree

[vivid cedar]

Definitely don't use a mesh collider for a tree model

start with a capsule

[nocturne bolt]

Do I have to size the entire thing?

[vivid cedar]

a tree is going to be way too complex for a MeshCollider

[nocturne bolt]

Cuz I've got a lot of trees

[vivid cedar]

wdym by that? YOu should size the collider to fit the general shape of the object, sure

[vivid cedar]

prefabs

[nocturne bolt]

They are all positioned differently

[fossil smelt]

anyone got a fix for this?

[nocturne bolt]

Will it still work

[vivid cedar]

wdym

will what work

[nocturne bolt]

When I resize the capsule

Will it go up all the branches

Even if they are rotated differently

[vivid cedar]

The collider will be whatever size and position you make it

the branches are irrelevant

[nocturne bolt]

They are

It's a gtag horror fan game you can climb up trees

[vivid cedar]

it really depends on the tree mesh etc, but if you need the individual branches to collide then you can use a mesh collider but depending on how intricate the mesh is, a mesh collider is not going to work well and you will need to fall back to primitives

if this mesh has like tens of thousands of triangels, it's really just not going to work

you would need to make a decimated/simpler version of the mesh to use foir the colliderf

[nocturne bolt]

I'm very new to unity so a mesh collider basically does it all for you? Like All the collider?

[fossil smelt]

Like Gorilla Tag?

Howdy yall. I had a question about 2D game UI in Unity. It's my first time using the Unity Canvas system and I am attempting to create a 2D game with a player inventory, and inventory containers around the world. I have the inventory system as a canvas, but should all future UI boxes also be canvas elements attached to the inventory UI? Right now I have two seperate canvases, one for inventory and one for a world container. What's the best approach to creating a scalable canvas where I can transfer items from the container to the inventory? Any guidance helps, thank you.

Hi fellow devs,
Is anyone willing give me some tips regarding learning advanced unity programming? I’ll dm if it’s no problem. Any help appreciated!

[plain dagger]

Learning advanced c#, algorithms and design patterns are the things you want to look at.
ask more in #1390355039272439868

[surreal lion]

Oh alright. Thanks!

[near wigeon]

multiple canvases is fine.. just don't mix any logic with UI.
Logic should always be independently working without any UI involved..
UI should only be displaying the data , and possible interactions with UX that transmit to the logic side of things

I would do
Inventory Data (ScriptableObjects / classes)
UI Views (slots, icons, panels)
Interaction Controller (drag/drop, clicks)

So also a canvas per thing is perfectly fine, and probably recommended to do so.
like container canvas, drag canvas etc.

[slow dirge]

I don't think they're using such a naive approach as to just check the list hash. That would break regardless even if you removed the very last element in the list. It's more likely a combo of checking several hashes(including mesh or bounding boxes) at several places to determine what exactly needs to be updated.

Anyways, the only way to tell for sure is "test and see for yourself". I don't think we have the source code behind it, do we?

[stone bane]

Anyone got tips on learning c++

[plain dagger]

Probably not a great place to ask but you want to find resources online like those from microsoft or code academy
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/?view=msvc-170

cppreference is great for looking up details about the language spec and standard lib https://en.cppreference.com/index.html

[sudden siren]

That's a bit annoying, thank you

[indigo lake]

yeah, i understand

its annoying

to me too

np

[slow dirge]

Just in case you really got confused - unity doesn't use c++. It uses c#.

[indigo lake]

he prob confuded c++ with c# (bc the names are similar)

[stone bane]

Which coding language do you recommend for a complete beginner?

[slow dirge]

Depends on what you plan to do in the future. If it's using unity, then definitely C#.

[potent geyser]

(as your only option for Unity is C#)

[stone bane]

I’m planning on making games and I wanna go to college for software engineering but I’m not really stuck with unity im open to more

[slow dirge]

Well, you need to decide what you're gonna do in the near future. If it's just for general computer science skills, C++ might be better, though more difficult. Anyways, once you have a good grasp of one language, learning additional is gonna be easier.

[stone bane]

Ok

[stone bane]

How did you originally learn c++ did you use a program or something?

[slow dirge]

I had to learn it for my work as we're working with different engines, including in-house ones. I started with unity and C# before that.

The way I learned it was mostly reading the docs, watching YouTube videos and reading project code at work.

[stone bane]

Ok

[late bobcat]

👍

[queen raven]

I’m taking my 7th or 8th stab at game development. It’s sticking a lot more this go around. Any tips? I don’t want to get stuck and quit out of lack of progress. The motivation is here to stay. I’m currently going through the unity learning tutorials, is that enough to get good?

[latent meadow]

no, basic tutorials are not going to magically make you 'good'. they are there to teach the very basics. the rule with most skills is 10,000 hours of quality time invested will make you 'good', perhaps very good.
if game dev is what you want to do, you must invest the time and effort. it is a long journey. Motivation is generally not something that will remain constant. perhaps consider motivation a momentary force to kick discipline into gear.

just about every room here has pinned links to on topic tutorials or resources that should go a bit beyond the basics.

[hazy cedar]

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student in Software Engineering specializing in Games, and I'm researching how to make generating automated tests easier in games 🎮

I would be very grateful if you could answer this questionnaire. If you know other developers in the field, you can share it as well.

It only takes a few minutes, and you can pause and continue from where you left off (just accept the terms again).

https://esdrascaleb.github.io/gamesofengquiz/

[worthy socket]

if you find yourself failing repeatedly to learn game dev you should ask yourself question whether or not going to school in coding would be worth it or try easier stuff to learn programming like for example the scratch language for beginner

[queen raven]

It’s not that I’m failing. It’s that life gets busy and I take breaks to take care of responsibilities. I want a path that helps me learn faster. I can learn anything, I just want the learning to be substantial

[worthy socket]

i could not learn unity without first doing scratch personally. and i only use unity for it's visual scripting. if you find yourself failing repeatedly like i have then i would suggest you try coding with the Scratch Language or something like that. personally i have a hard time learning text coding. but that is something i think i will do in the futur.

[worthy socket]

i never felt like i learned anything substantial before i got into scratch and got Code Monkey Unity Visual Scripting course pretty much. but i had some experience with Game Mod Development Tools

[worthy socket]

it is very possible that what i'm telling you is not the right thing for you. i am just saying this in case you fail again. you should be able to develop a game with a full loop within a month

[worthy socket]

if you are willing to spend a decent amount of money there is also gamedev.tv c# programming course that could really help you.

[copper gust]

You don’t need money

There’s an overwhelming amount of great free resources

[hasty zinc]

tho

[hasty zinc]

is theres good tutorials for unity

[worthy socket]

what type of tutorial are you looking for

[hasty zinc]

for begginers im trying to learn unity from 0 to 100 yk

[worthy socket]

are you good at doing text? or do you prefer visual scripting?

i would suggest Code Monkey or Gamedev.Tv

[hasty zinc]

what is the diffrence?

[worthy socket]

text scripting is using text, like you did, in c# thats how most people do it

visual scripting is using UVS or another Visual scripting tool. essentially you right click and choose node to put on the graph, and then link those graph together to make logic

[hasty zinc]

text scripting ig

Thats cause it doesnt, you've got Time.deltatime where the actual float variable is Time.deltaTime

[hasty zinc]

thanks fam

[tall hearth]

This should be something that your ide would've informed you of though

[soft cobalt]

you could try to learn programming before game dev

it's a simple way to start and makes everything onwards easier

[tender thicket]

make simple games to start

[safe garden]

sorry for the n00b question, any idea why these appear? pink arrows as well, think I accidentally clicked something xD

[ocean pumice]

"these"?

[radiant pewter]

Any idea what this error means? "[Package Manager Window] Error while getting access token: Server response is "The requested URL returned error: 400" [Code 400]
UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient:Done (UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient/State,int)
"

[safe garden]

black arrows I mean, seems like part of the UI but not sure what

[ocean pumice]

Looks to me like some gizmos for translating or whatever.

[ocean pumice]

When does this happen? looks like your package manager has a problem connecting to something. Did you restart Unity and Hub?

[radiant pewter]

I'm not sure - it happened on build, but I have a few assets that seem to ping the asset store to check if they're updated - it might be that

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, sounds legit

[radiant pewter]

unless it happens again I'll just assume it was some random error because of build error

[ocean pumice]

You could try turning off gizmos in scene mode and see, if they disappear

[hasty zinc]

can someone tell me a diffrent between the unity 6 and another versions like unity 6.1 , 6.2 , 6.3 , 6.4

[ocean pumice]

Well, they are updates of 6.0... changelogs tell you, what have changed

[hasty zinc]

oh ok thx

do i need to learn basics of the C# for unity or learn full

[deft rock]

6.0 and 6.30 are both LTS versions -> supported for 2 years from release.
6.1, 6.2, and 6.4 are 'supported' versions -> they lose support as soon as the next one comes out.

To start learning Unity it's good to have knowledge of the basics of C# .. "need" is subjective.

[safe garden]

another n00b q sorry - for some reason on a prefab my camera is rotated where you can see this slant in the grid even though I am facing it head on, is there a reason why the camera is rotated? It doesn't happen on other prefabs

[ocean pumice]

Is that scene view?

[safe garden]

yes scene view

[ocean pumice]

And the prefab, where do you open it from? Hierarchy or Project view?

[safe garden]

opening from project view

[deft rock]

You can get in this pos when you're moving around, just select something in the hierarchy and press F with cursor over the scene view

[safe garden]

when I do it from hierachy it looks fine

[deft rock]

it'll reset

[ocean pumice]

As Carwash said, you most likely just "flew" there 😄

[safe garden]

just realized had this turned off, orientation - reset cam and works now!

[copper gust]

No memes here sorry

[cyan lion]

how do i make ui text follow a gameobject?

[ocean pumice]

I assume, you mean 2D UI screenspace?

Hey yall I’m brand new to game dev and my goal is to learn both unity and unreal in the coming year. I’ve been trying to find an answer online but can’t. Is there a unity equivalent to unreal’s “motion matching”?

theres no built in solution but you can make motion matching work in unity

motion matching as a concept is entirely engine agnostic

there are some third party assets on the asset store that help make it easier

[sturdy topaz]

Thank you

[hasty zinc]

hi to everybody i have seen so much people that imported unity games to unity and they can add so much things to the game and how can i do it? (sorry if my english is bad)

[worldly cave]

theres no modding discussion here of any kind

[hasty zinc]

oh ok

[flat breach]

hi, I'm trying to solve this issue since 2 days, I want to use a VFX addon from the Visual Effect package in HDRP but none of them work, what I do is I just play them but nothing appears, thank you.

[deft rock]

We can't do anything with this information. Try showing a video of the problem, maybe that'll give people something to go off

[loud storm]

Hello y'all, I'm trying to make a plugin for unity. Need yall opinion, What kind of plugins you need that help and make things easier for you in your Unity Project?

[hasty zinc]

does universal2d or universal 3d is good for making games?

[storm patio]

sure, yeah

[hasty zinc]

mane learning unity and c# basics is so fun

[flat breach]

you're absolutely right

Hello, I downloaded The VisualEffectGraph additions from the unity registry in the package manager and there is a Lightning prefab in it that I want to use, I just slid it into the hierarchy and it doesn't work(doesn't appear). I'm looping it using this script: https://paste.ofcode.org/mgMsTcNqpCtcNHz8TuKUCj

[lilac flume]

hi running scene then stopiing it locates a random file in project menu. and it gets annoying

[worldly cave]

Having an idea for a "plugin" usually comes first, or rather before the idea to make an asset of any kind

[hard relic]

How do I get notified when theres a new editor release?

[latent meadow]

i think you can go here id:customize and select News as something you want notifications about. they Should be broadcasting updates in that

[hard relic]

Okay

[exotic relic]

He means, he wants to use ai to generate a plugin and take credit for it 😆

Sadly I noticed not just code but now 3d models for sale generated by ai

[deft rock]

Any 'major' new releases are in #📢┃announcements - there aren't any posts for patch releases, there's no need for notifications on every single release.

[hard relic]

Okay, I was just wanting to be notified for 6.X and stuff like that.

[deft rock]

Yeah, they get a post in #📢┃announcements - the next one (6.4) won't be for another 3 or 4 months (going off last year)

[hard relic]

Okay, I just wanted to keep my projects on the newest stable release. Other than patches.

[lilac flume]

No solution about that?

[stuck flower]

It might be clicking "through" the play window to the assets tab below it? If you move your play window to another part of the UI do you still have the problem?

[lilac flume]

i dont think i can click through a random gif from textmeshpro. and i just clicked 1 time

[flat breach]

hello, I still help need on this if anyone can help, thank you.

[lilac flume]

maybe they should start fixing their engine instead of focusing on ai slop

[deft rock]

Once in "full production" there's only really two reasons to update:
1- you need a feature in a newer version
2- you need a bug fix that's in a newer version

Additionally, there's no rush because the x.x.0 release are never as stable as the previous LTS that's had months of patches. Wait until around x.x.8 if you want stable

[hard relic]

Usually I update the project if Ive been activly been working on it. The projects that I update later I wait because of possible API changes.

[near wigeon]

"newest and stable" a stretch

[hard relic]

maybe if 6.4 is stable

but it might not be yet

[near wigeon]

it takes a bunch of patches before it gets "stable"

[deft rock]

6.4.0 probably won't be ... just like every other .0 release. ~6.4.8 will be around when it does start becoming stable

[hard relic]

Yea, I meant like once it gets out of beta

[deft rock]

We are not talking about beta

[near wigeon]

but also yes your best bet is always going with LTS a bunch of patches in

the "supported" versions are always wonky

[reef dome]

everything rn is just a 6.7 waiting room anyways

[storm patio]

i hope the 67 meme dies before then

[reef dome]

oh it better does

[stuck flower]

Unless there is a specific feature you are intentionally wanting for your project, you should just stick to whatever version you started the project on.

[reef dome]

6.7 actually has my hopes up, coreCLR and unified gameobject/entity are two things I am waiting for so much

[near wigeon]

still on 6.0.33f cause has been very stable for all my projects

[storm patio]

still on 2022.3.61f1 😆

[reef dome]

We just updated our two production apps to 6000.3.5f2

[near wigeon]

they are introducing it in 6.7 but wont be full yet

[reef dome]

yeah i know, but editor is the first to get it and I really hope it brings the performance improvements they have been teasing

[near wigeon]

yeah most likely though.
mono is hella old

[reef dome]

yeah and the csc workaround to get some new c# features is wonky at best too

[near wigeon]

at least full CLR should be 6.x not 7. 🤞

[reef dome]

I mean it should be their 100% top priority of dev facing topics

i know their publishing platform has taken their prime spot now but for things regarding the actual editor that should be prio

[near wigeon]

you would think but apparently AI slop took precedence

Oh I mean "AI Tools"

gotta keep dem investors happy with the latest fads

[stuck flower]

But it's the future! If we don't put a bunch of worthless shit in our product we'll be left behind!

[reef dome]

I mean i've been enjoying them for prototyping so far but as soon as it costs money the tools can fuck right off again 😄

[worldly cave]

i wouldnt give a shit about the ai inclusions if they were just some experimental bullshit someone is messing around with

but theres so many things that need fixing rn or should have a higher priority that are actively ignored

[near wigeon]

ignore / laying off the teams

[worldly cave]

especially that

[reef dome]

I am still sad about the world building / terrain stuff

[worldly cave]

i cant wait for this bubble to pop

[near wigeon]

QA def has gone down a lot more too

[worldly cave]

its long time coming

butlerian jihad 0.1 / fall of the farcasters

[reef dome]

wdym? we are the QA as is tradition in the software industry

[worldly cave]

but unironically

[worldly cave]

probably also delegated to ai

[reef dome]

delegated to the user

[near wigeon]

releasing a LTS version with a clear bug like they did with UPM lately, its a bit embarrassing

[reef dome]

Though i gotta say i haven't noticed anything too bad since working on 6000

I mean the beta version i tested was buggy as hell but thats my fault for downloading a beta 😄

what happened with upm?

[near wigeon]

signing issue

[stuck flower]

Every package was marked as insecure

[near wigeon]

took a couple days to fix it

[stuck flower]

Even Unity internal ones

[near wigeon]

for an LTS thats pretty sloppy..

[reef dome]

A bug like that is forgivable if it didnt take a few days, atleast they didnt brick it 😄

And I mean we all like to complain and we just looked at our own stats some days ago... not looking good 😄

[deft rock]

and requires the installation of a newer version

[unreal plinth]

hi, teachers!

just curious

i wanna know how to get a unity job

who can help me?

[worldly cave]

like a job at unity™ or a job where you work in unity the editor?

[unreal plinth]

company

remote

i'm web dev

[deft rock]

look at their job openings, find one that you fit, apply

same as any company..

[unreal plinth]

what about salary?

vs. web

[deft rock]

what..

[unreal plinth]

salary range

[deft rock]

🤷‍♂️

[unreal plinth]

[stuck flower]

Check the website I guess?

[unreal plinth]

which

[stuck flower]

Wherever you're applying for a job?

[deft rock]

... the Unity site that lists the available jobs..

gotta say, if a hiring manager saw this exchange they wouldn't be calling you for an interview ;p

[worldly cave]

highly doubtful

i dont think unity is hiring remote workers

at least not industry veterans

[unreal plinth]

tbo, i'm pretty interesting at unity

than web

[worldly cave]

[unreal plinth]

but how can i get a job

[stuck flower]

Usually by sending resumes and portfolios to hundreds of places until one of them writes you back

[unreal plinth]

true

man

exactly

but i think

[thorny vortex]

looking to create a studio, gaming wise. e.g mob entertainment

would be up to creating games on steam/app store too!

Approximately every game developer has been laid off in the past year and are looking for work.

just curious

[stuck flower]

I don't know what a "jost" is

[night pine]

Why does light leak through things I am not looking at?

[unreal plinth]

who is working at company using unity now?

[worldly cave]

a lot of studios use unity, highly doubt anyone here active right now does though.

but you asked to work for unity itself, this is a different sort of thing all together

youre a lot likely to find work as a game dev for a studio that uses unity than you are to find work in unity the company

[unreal plinth]

there u go

[worldly cave]

what

[deft rock]

With tens of thousands of redundancies in the games industry over the past 2 or 3 years, even veterans with lots of experience are struggling to find work.

[worldly cave]

when i said "likely" i meant as in your chances are slightly further from 0

[deft rock]

0.001 😄

[unreal plinth]

yeah, that makes sense.

I wasn’t specifically aiming for Unity the compani

more studios or products that use unity

i know the market’s pretty rough right now,,

[worldly cave]

🤔

[worldly cave]

well if you have a really good portfolio and a lot of experience you might stand a chance against the competition

[unreal plinth]

that's true

but i don't have strong portfolio for unity

[worldly cave]

then start working on one

takes a couple of years but with enough patience and determination you might get something good out there

[unreal plinth]

a couple of years?

[worldly cave]

if youre lucky

i mean making games isnt fast

making good games is even slower

when i said build a portfolio i didnt mean pick out a nice ms word template, i meant create something worth showing off

[deft rock]

Juniors aren't likely to be getting remote jobs either

[worldly cave]

oh yeah "remote" work is a pipedream

[hasty zinc]

is it possible to learn unity in 1 month or 1 week

[deft rock]

lol, no

[worldly cave]

no

its impossible to learn all of unity in a year

[unreal plinth]

what about Edtech?

if i am good at unity already

not game

[worldly cave]

still unlikely

especially for unity

[hasty zinc]

i dont mean like fully learn its like "junior game dev"

[unreal plinth]

i make sure your thought might be valuable for me

[worldly cave]

even a junior game dev has years of experience

or a year at least

[hasty zinc]

oh ok

[worldly cave]

you can only really learn through experience itself, you have to build something to get somewhere

like i said a few minutes before, making games takes time

[worldly cave]

imo if you want to get into game development, focus on a more indie centric path

[unreal plinth]

i focus on fast money

not web, using unity

[deft rock]

No such thing

[worldly cave]

you want fast money?

you chose the wrong career

this shit is anything but fast and in recent times its anything but "money" as well

70% of all games released on steam in 2025 did not make back its 100 dollar deposit

[modest meteor]

just make a hit indie game and get rich

[worldly cave]

duh

[deft rock]

~40 mins has been wasted going round and round about something that isn't useful right now.. because you are not at a hireable level of experience.

[unreal plinth]

Yeah i get your point.

appreciate ur honestly

[sour shadow]

so i set the grid on a higher level than the bg and it still is behind
how do i fixy

[storm patio]

you've set the sorting layers, correct?

could you show the config you have there

[sour shadow]

where

im new

[sour shadow]

where

[storm sierra]

Does anyone know about locally running LLM's in unity for npc interactions?

I am trying to learn how to best achieve realistic npcs and thought LLM's could be useful.

[exotic relic]

Because 70% of them didn’t actually make the game its ai 😭

[near wigeon]

" realistic npcs "

what does that even mean

[sly lake]

The LLM you can run with whatever RAM your game can spare will be pretty dumb

[worldly cave]

i cant think of anything i would want less as a player than an llm npc

[storm sierra]

Ideally they are able to respond to players and interact with them with strict parameters on the behavior. Ideally they can communicate in a human fashion is the critical point.

[worldly cave]

but why

is this some sort of experiment?

[sour shadow]

what config??

[storm sierra]

No it is just a feature in the game, certain key npcs that are critical for the story/plot. Should be able to speak to the players

[sly lake]

Oh man

[exotic relic]

I’m on neither side but if you use a LLM for NPC responses you would get a much wider variety instead of relying on regex

[worldly cave]

if they are key npcs that are critical for the plot then you do not want to give them the ability to make up and hallucinate whatever they want

i can assure you this is far more likely to turn away players from your game

[near wigeon]

they are critical to the game but want drooned out paragraph written by "ai"

[sly lake]

I think it's a neat thing to experiment with

[storm sierra]

Well I didn't want them to be fixed routines, the idea was a LLM could make sense

[sly lake]

But I think you're going to find that good writing is preferable to "realism"

[near wigeon]

look into Sentis maybe, this is what unity was trying to push its use for at some point

use a premade model

[storm sierra]

Is sentis an ai system?

[near wigeon]

its a "inference engine"

[sour shadow]

anyone pls?

[sly lake]

Try #🖼️┃2d-tools

[storm sierra]

Real writing will always be limited by the sheer amount I can realistically write. The key reason I wanted a LLM was the fact it can continue a conversation post the most important point.

Think of it like this. Npc written script by me finished----> LLM for bonus dialogue

[sly lake]

Okay, but think about it as a player

Is chatting with a really dumb chatbot going to be worth my time?

[worldly cave]

If im hearing bonus dialogue as a player

i want it to be something worth hearing

nobody is going to stick around talking to an llm inside of your game just because it has an answer to "how many times do you shower"

[stuck flower]

If the conversation wasn't important enough to write it's not important enough to read

[worldly cave]

also how do you ensure it doesnt get jailbroken? and your npcs start spouting nonsense

thats a bad image for your game

[storm sierra]

I can see the issues with this

[worldly cave]

a lot of issues

0 benefits.

[stuck flower]

For nigh on 40 years we've had "Welcome to Corneria!" levels of dialogue from NPCs and no one has cared. Major AAA billion dollar budget games have NPCs repeating the same canned dialogue when you talk to them over and over again. This is not a problem.

[storm sierra]

I really wanted my npcs to be seen as human in behavior. That is the true goal at the end of the day.

They need to respond to stimuli in situ, not in fallout fashion of dull npc walks into gunfight unaware.

[deft rock]

How much would an LLM bloat the installation of your game?!

I'm assuming the data required to run a local LLM is... a lot

[storm sierra]

I really don't know, that was also something I wanted to learn.

[worldly cave]

you can do this without llms

[stark sorrel]

Hello everyone,could someone with me an idea to how create system like if server player is gone so every other player is out, i did some codes but for some reason they kicked in random moments

i mean share ideas

[storm sierra]

Are you using a server as authority system or a p2p?

[worldly cave]

sounds like a question for #1390346492019212368 honestly

[stark sorrel]

i dont know actually. but my system is like server is the main guy and its deliver every fail to clients and they just sync it on their client

[storm sierra]

This is something important to have laid out from the start. It sounds like to me your using a system with mixed responsiblities and that is confusing the way data is meant to flow.

[near wigeon]

if has any real benefit or improvement with an LLM to do this there would be tons of games using such a system...realistically is not possible

[ashen mica]

I've report bug in forum and form the editor, it is normal i don't had access to the reporting portal ?

[stuck flower]

You won't fool anyone and attempting to do so is going to make your game seem even cheaper and less lived-in than just writing some good dialogue

[worldly cave]

i would rather have simpleton npcs in a well written game

then ones who use ai

[deft rock]

Gamers don't want gen-ai in their games either

[worldly cave]

this

its a novelty

[storm sierra]

Fair enough, I was just hoping to use the latest tech to improve the quality of npc

[worldly cave]

you can still do this without llms

and youre game is going to be all the better for it

[stuck flower]

"The latest tech" has done nothing but make everything it touches worse

[near wigeon]

this just translates to "make game good ez "

slapp an LLM and now game is good rite?

[worldly cave]

i mean it worked for the unity editor

it must be true

[stark sorrel]

I have implemented a strictly server-authoritative architecture where all game logic, physics, and state changes are processed exclusively on the server. Clients only send input commands and receive synchronized data updates

[worldly cave]

make a thread in#1390346492019212368

[storm sierra]

So the goal is to kick inactive or is this focused on out of sight players between one another?

[lilac flume]

why the hell every company just thrives to satisfy the investors instead of making better products

i hope AI bubble pops asap

[stark sorrel]

goal is checking system which cheks if server is still there or not, if player who is server is gone -> everyone else is thrown in lobby

[near wigeon]

because they chasing the quick bucks based on trends

[worldly cave]

because thats how public companies work

they value investors

however from a consumer perspective private companies are far better

[deft rock]

and "can't get left behind"

[storm sierra]

This is fairly easy to implement, depending on the tool used on server side. I use fishnet and would create a broadcast to all players that would in essence remove them from the target area.

Your main issue it seems is sending out wide broadcasts to the players from the sounds of it right?

[worldly cave]

look at valve, prime example

private company, extremely efficient, nobody thinks ill of them

because they have no investors to appease

[lilac flume]

Valve is the GOAT

[worldly cave]

that is not to say they arent without flaws

[lilac flume]

does nothing and wins

[near wigeon]

idk valve does pretty corpo shit for money..

[deft rock]

Lots of people think ill of Valve, just a lot less than other companies

[near wigeon]

You don't own your purchased games.. GoG you do

[stark sorrel]

seems like that, i dont sure what is issue with my system , i just wonder how to implement it since i have no clue how to do it

[wind cape]

Hi im new can you tell me whats this server used for?

[worldly cave]

its more of a choose your poison type of thing

but i would rather pick valve over epic

for games distribution

[near wigeon]

unity editor help

[deft rock]

help when you are stuck with something specific

[worldly cave]

also gog arent angels either

they are very pro ai

[wind cape]

Okay thanks

[lilac flume]

talking with people finding solutions for your problems about unity etc

[storm sierra]

I would recommend finding the exact name of the network system that you have chosen to run. Then find the documents related to it

[stark sorrel]

ok thanks, now its time for investigations...

[near wigeon]

not saying they are better or worse, but just pointing saying valve is just as corpo n do funny shit.. less but still..

[worldly cave]

sure, but it could be worse

and i would rather settle with what we have
