you ask your question and wait for an answer

did you even the read the webpage

oh mb

[placid onyx]

Why is it when I use poiyomi toon everything that has it in unity goes bright of that texture

[worldly cave]

we cant really help you with third party assets

youre better off just finding their documentation and seeing if it mentions any common issues

[storm sierra]

sorry I couldn’t help solve it, I use fishnet so I am more than likely unfamiliar with the tool you used

does anyone know why i have to press ctrl+R to recompile? auto refresh is enabled

im using unity 6000.3.6f1 if that helps

[lapis grove]

check if this is the option in preferences

[craggy pollen]

that is for playmode tho

[somber spire]

i have stop playing and recompile does it make a difference?

[lapis grove]

shii then idk the issue

[plain dagger]

Recompile and keep playing is utter shit

Only works if basically everything is serialised and in monobehaviours

[somber spire]

i get like a million nullReferenceExceptions haha

[plain dagger]

Yea it basically just breaks everything it's useless

[somber spire]

fr

[plain dagger]

You want a real hot load plugin

[somber spire]

first of all i want it to reload when changing my code at all 😭

[plain dagger]

If on Linux you are out of luck but on windows and Mac it should just work

[somber spire]

now guess what im on :(

[plain dagger]

Then you need to use an ide that can tell unity to reload for you.
Vs code with the unity extension may do this

I have been wondering if its worth making a native plugin to fix this for Linux users...

[somber spire]

i use vscode and i have the unity extension but it doesn really seem to work tbh

[craggy pollen]

or just do code changes in non run time

as you would do usually

[plain dagger]

Reload after playing is the best setting for this

[somber spire]

thats not the problem it doesnt reload even in viewport

[lapis grove]

guys stop talking im trying to develop...

[jagged sage]

Can anyone explain to me the prefixed script when you make a new script in unity?

[somber spire]

nobodies talking 😭🙏

[jagged sage]

These stuff

[vivid cedar]

what about it

[craggy pollen]

just create a new MonoBehaviour script

[jagged sage]

What exactly is this used for and what does it do

[somber spire]

start gets called once when the game is started

[craggy pollen]

you dont have to type it manually

[lapis grove]

we are now brotatochips

[vivid cedar]

this is an empty script that does nothing right now. You would write code in here to make it actually do things

[somber spire]

update gets called once per frame

[jagged sage]

So this script HAS to be in every script?

[lapis grove]

yeah

[potent geyser]

Stop adding noise here please, thanks.

[vivid cedar]

no, almost none of this is mandatory

[lapis grove]

just right click in the editor and make a new script

[jagged sage]

Thats a fair explanation

Thanks all

[somber spire]

alright brotatochip👍

[jagged sage]

Then

Can i just delete it or

[potent geyser]

This is false. Start and Update are not mandatory for scripts to run. You can remove it if you're not using it.

[vivid cedar]

if oyu're not using it, you can delete it

[somber spire]

depends

[lapis grove]

im trying to help people unc 😢

[jagged sage]

Well i mean i do wanna paste a movement script into it

[potent geyser]

Go for it then.

[lapis grove]

then yeah, you need it

[jagged sage]

Where exactly do i paste it?

[somber spire]

cant even talk in #💻┃unity-talk anymore :(

[potent geyser]

So far I've seen two comments that haven't, and one that was false. If you keep the noise up, you will be muted.

[jagged sage]

Between the brackets under void start?

[lapis grove]

right 💔

[storm patio]

if it's a complete script, you would replace the entire existing script

[lapis grove]

alright mb unc

[storm patio]

correct, this isn't a social space

[upper silo]

where is

[storm patio]

not this server

[craggy pollen]

it seems like you are really new to programming, you need to learn some of the c# basics

[jagged sage]

Someone told me i should learn as i go 🤷‍♂️

[upper silo]

LMAOOOO are we only allowed to talk about unity

[upper silo]

id recommend learning unity c# basics atleast, it wouldve helped me when i started

[lapis grove]

i guess lol but they should add a general chat

[storm patio]

yes

[storm patio]

#1180178376028327936 message

[jagged sage]

Do i need to specifically watch unity C# tutorials or is C# entirelly same

[storm patio]

no, and no

[jagged sage]

Stupid question but not how i mean it lol

[potent geyser]

!learn is where you should start, since it's Unity specific.

750

[storm patio]

general c# tutorials will also help, but unity has its own conventions and built-ins that you'll need to learn specifically

[storm patio]

youtube has over 750 hours, you aren't expected to watch them all

[upper silo]

c# in unity is c#, but learning it specific to unity would help you if youre just trying to use it for unity, as the other guy said !learn would help majorly

[jagged sage]

Fair enough

Alr thanks alot yall

[somber spire]

even java tutorials would help probably as theres a lot of programming basics you should learn that arent language dependent

[storm patio]

(but focusing on the thing you're actually using would be a much better use of your time)

[somber spire]

very right yes im just saying

[storm patio]

time to pull out the ol' reliable

where did you get this from this fast

I've had the problem for a long time.

I get the error whenever I attempt to bake my lighting.

u funny lets be brotatochips

[lapis grove]

ok add me 🥹

[hasty zinc]

yeah i found it but theres a three option what should i choose:
"input manager (old)"
"input system package (new)" using rn
"both"

[craggy pollen]

for your code old or both

obviously

[hasty zinc]

lemme try it

[stuck flower]

Well, which one do you want

One of them was giving you an error before, so the one that it had before is probably wrong

You can probably guess which of the other two is most useful

[hasty zinc]

i will try both

what the

nvm

[craggy pollen]

your code doesnt really move anything btw

[hasty zinc]

ik it needs rigidbody ig

[craggy pollen]

well you are not doing anything else then just getting the input

[hasty zinc]

watching this guys tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5oxt-bjxHM&list=PLcRSafycjWFeHojgzbkNUXt9S6-Q7BGQE&index=6

[craggy pollen]

only a year old and he used the old input class, ok

[hasty zinc]

i used "both" and same fuckass error InvalidOperationException: You are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input handling to Input System package in Player Settings.

oh wait i changed it to "both" before but and restarted but it changes it to "new"

[stuck flower]

Did you clear the console

[hasty zinc]

no

[stuck flower]

So those errors are just still around from before

[hasty zinc]

k lemme try it

[worldly wind]

hi

[hasty zinc]

yeah it changed to both now

[hasty zinc]

hello

[storm patio]

did you get a popup from the input system prompting you to set it to new, and then you clicked yes?

[storm patio]

https://nohello.net

[worldly wind]

😭

I just wanted to say hello. I've been here for a while but haven't been active

[hasty zinc]

my error have been fixed btw

[somber spire]

bro has a whole database for very specific things to say 😭🙏

[hasty zinc]

thanks to all of you guys who helped me

[worldly wind]

Is the @unitygames user on X an official account? There is also an @unity account

[craggy pollen]

why did you ask

[potent geyser]

They're both owned officially by Unity

[storm patio]

it gets tiring to explain to every single person who doesn't read descriptions, yeah.

[fossil smelt]

Anyone know how to fix this bug?

[worldly wind]

Just out of curiosity, I wondered why there were two accounts

[fossil smelt]

I've had it for so long

it's when I generate lighting.

[somber spire]

it aint that deep bro 🙏

[potent geyser]

Because they have social accounts for different areas of Unity. Games being one of them.

[storm patio]

yeah, it isn't... i just explained the very brief reason for it...

do you want to continue spamming nonsense here or what

[worldly wind]

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for

[somber spire]

its ok i dont want to be muted like my brotatochip @lapis grove

#freeCadavers

[fossil smelt]

Do you know how to fix this error popping up whenever I bake lighting?

[storm patio]

was he even muted or did he just get bored

[potent geyser]

Your next off topic statement will be.

[storm patio]

eh whatever, good outcome either way

[worldly wind]

I just wrote 'Hi'. Is that a problem here? I just said hello.

[craggy pollen]

do you have the generate uv light map checkbox

[somber spire]

no he got muted by @potent geyser

[storm patio]

it's an issue if everyone does it. this is explicitly not a social space

[potent geyser]

This is a vague error. It could be anything down to just the mesh itself being bad topology.

[somber spire]

everything is

[storm patio]

just lead with your question next time, if you want to include a greeting include it with your question rather than a whole separate message

greetings aren't an issue, a greeting with no other meaningful content is

[hasty zinc]

why i think visual studio 2026 sucks

[charred fog]

@somber spire Stop spamming the channel. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct

[fossil smelt]

Let me check.

when i type FixedUpdate

please write out a full sentence

[near wigeon]

then use rider or vsc

[hasty zinc]

it doesnt shows me smth like private void FixedUpdate()
{

}

have you configured your ide?

[hasty zinc]

thanks

[fossil smelt]

-# (I get the error regardless if I bake through CPU or GPU by the way.)

[worldly wind]

No, at the bottom of the model import settings, there is Generate UV map.

here

[fossil smelt]

I can't find the object in scene.

Only in assets.

[astral stone]

vfx graph & skinned meshes bouta make me loopy

[worldly wind]

Yes, you need to config it from there

[worldly wind]

Did you generate the mesh? In runtime?

I think Unity uses UV1 as the lightmap UV, but I'm not sure. However, you may need to process the UV1 channel when generating it

[fossil smelt]

can I just delete it?

[craggy pollen]

can you show the asset are there some child objects on it?

[worldly wind]

yes?

[craggy pollen]

no i mean in the assets,if it has child elements expand them

[fossil smelt]

ohh

no it does not.

[worldly wind]

After clicking on this, you can generate Lightmap UVs

[fossil smelt]

this is all I see

[fossil smelt]

no dude, this is all that is

[stuck flower]

If you clicked the link you'd see that it explains why you shouldn't just say "Hi". This is a help forum, everyone here is expecting to answer questions, you can just jump right in to asking one, no need for formalities that just slow things down and fill up chat

[worldly wind]

Alright, yes, as I thought, there is no FBX file, and you need to be able to generate lightmaps with these, which is a bit of an edge case. If you can somehow import these as FBX, it will be easier for you. Otherwise, you need to open the UV1 channel for all of them.

[stuck flower]

It's not saying "You aren't allowed to say hi" it was just saying we could have skipped a bit of the preamble by going straight into the problem

[worldly wind]

I thought this was off topic, but I guess it isn't. Sorry

[fossil smelt]

I don't got the models anymore sadly

at least not all of em

only a few

[stuck flower]

Haven't had a chance to go through all of the stuff you've been suggested already but one thing that might help is toggling off objects until the error goes away to try to pinpoint which specific mesh is giving you trouble

Once you've found it, you might be able to remove specifically that submesh and it might not even affect much visually

[worldly wind]

To open the UV1 channel, you need to do this in the code and re-import it. Frankly, if you're not very advanced, this might be a bit complicated for you, so perhaps you could get an FBX output using the Unity FBX exporter.

[stuck flower]

Chances are if it's not able to generate lighting, it might just be completely malformed and you can't see it anyway

[fossil smelt]

uhh no thanks I got thousands of meshes Ig I'll js restart the game

thanks anyway

[gray frigate]

this appears to be an asset rip

unity produces mesh assets like this when it does static batching

[gray frigate]

recovering assets from a built copy of your game (which is what I'm guessing happened here) leads to problems like this

you lose a lot of choices you normally get to make during asset import

[hasty zinc]

btw how can i add configure to exsisting cs file

[storm patio]

configuration is for your ide, not for individual files

hmm how can i add it

[brisk anvil]

is it possible to install packages from package manager to a custom folder?

So instead of ⁨Assets/⁩ it would put the files in ⁨Assets/ThirdParty⁩ for example

[gray frigate]

I'm not aware of a way to "retarget" a .unitypackage

especially because a .unitypackage could also want to write assets into Packages/

[brisk anvil]

I only want packages from the package manager to target that folder,
So if it downloads a .unitypackage maybe there's a way to tunnel what goes to the "Assets" folder into the ⁨Assets/something⁩.

I'm asking this as I purchased packages which downloads to ⁨Assets⁩ and I usually move them to a ⁨thirdParty⁩ folder, which now I'm starting to upload projects to GitHub.
I don't want to upload the code and those packages for free online, and adding the ⁨thirdParty⁩ folder to gitignore means that if I Re-Clone the project, it will auto download all the packages to the Assets folder which is a bit of a mess

[gray frigate]

i've wanted to do the exact same thing before, yeah

note that unity won't automatically download and import anything that came from a .unitypackage

UPM packages – which don't go into your Assets folder at all – are different

[brisk anvil]

Unity Package Manager does download to the Assets folder, in my experience almost all the packages I've used from Asset Store Publishers are not ⁨Packages⁩

if there is a way to move those to the Packages/ folder it would solve this...

[gray frigate]

the asset store might require that

i don't think you can actually export a .unitypackage that dumps stuff into Packages/ without doing it through a script

[gray frigate]

the best thing I can think of is to make an empty project where you:

• import a .unitypackage
• move every asset into a new folder
• export a .unitypackage

you could script that pretty easily, but it's still annoying to have to do

I am surprised that Unity doesn't offer a way to do this

Some assets do depend on specific asset paths, I guess

but...maybe they just shouldn't do that 😉

[brisk anvil]

yea that kinda sucks, I will look into other solutions.

I also sometimes edit paid packages scripts / modify for my own needs so I can't just redownload on clone.

Oh well...

[gray frigate]

i do that a lot

at that point, you have to version-control them or it gets really gross really fast

[brisk anvil]

I think the best solution now would be to just make a submodule for the paid assets and keep that one private

[gray frigate]

I can't make old builds of my game because I had a bunch of gitignored dependencies that were modified slightly

[gray frigate]

oh yeah, you could actually make a submodule that's rooted in the Assets folder of a project

[brisk anvil]

Yea, I'm surprised I can't find any solution to this online.
I guess people just don't upload their projects to GitHub, or most of them upload with the paid assets...

[gray frigate]

Unity does not care about asset paths, so you could add this submodule at Assets/ThirdParty

[brisk anvil]

though then - even if you paid for the assets you can't use the project unless you have access to the submodule. which ruins the point of putting this project public on github in the first place

[gray frigate]

you'd just need to go to your "package project" to import new packages

[gray frigate]

yeah

and it's extra annoying to add those dependencies now

since other people would probably just dump them directly into Assets

[brisk anvil]

no way, that's too much of a mess

[gray frigate]

which might cause problems if they have name collisions with your first-party assets

[brisk anvil]

Assets gets bloated too fast.
I try to keep it minimal

I will try the forums as well

[ebon karma]

Hi, can someone help me with this flickering issue when using spriteshapes. Basically there are these 1 pixel wide flickering gaps appearing on the seams between the spriteshape segments when moving the camera. The sprites it uses are perfectly seamless and do not have gaps on the edge, i double checked it. Is this just spriteshape limits or does somebody know whats going on here maybe?
Thank you

[potent geyser]

This is the result of not using a pixel perfect camera. Unity's cinemachine has an extension for that.

[ebon karma]

hm i tried it and added it but it did not solve the issue apparently 🙁 thanks tho

[coarse tulip]

Hey ! Probably a question that has been asked every single day... As a beginner in gamedev how would you recommended to me to help me growing in the domain ? What are good projects or maybe exercices

[shadow heron]

Try making a simple game like flappy bird without watching any tutorials. Rely on using Google and unity documentation and this discord.

[coarse tulip]

It's true that I really a lot on tutorials

[shadow heron]

Watching tutorials isn't necessarily bad unless your just copying and pasting without learning anything.

[coarse tulip]

I mean I try to understand and sometimes I have no choice but to make it different but I always end up with an issue lmao... I guess it's normal

[slow dirge]

Actually, issues are good for you. It's the best opportunity to actually learn and improve.

[coarse tulip]

Fair enough

[slow dirge]

Just don't run away from them. Learn to debug them.

[astral stone]

tutorials are good for starters but the reason they are considered bad is you either dont remember what ur doing or how to use them later, take heavy notes like a class nd youll be good

[coarse tulip]

Ok thanks y'all !

[astral stone]

me getting gutted by unity for using visual effects graph (Im losing my mind rn)

[slow dirge]

How are you getting gutted? I don't have much experience with vfx graph, so can't help if it's something very specific to it, but you can try asking in #✨┃vfx-and-particles

Oh, I see you already did

[astral stone]

way ahead of ya lmao, idk i feel like this is such a dumb problem to be having lol

Connect thing, thing no work

sad~1

[slow dirge]

The only thing I can recommend is to use the frame debugger to see what happens on the draw call basis.

[astral stone]

what woud i be looking for specifically?

[slow dirge]

For the r starters the vfx draw that has the issue. Inspect it's details. Make sure there's nothing sus.

[astral stone]

its drawing particles but problem is the position is incorrect, for whatever reason it just does not want to use the skinned meshes info, ive tried a couple now. Even went to mixamo to get 2 of their fbx's to make sure I wasnt crazy lmfao

[slow dirge]

Is there more info on below?
Also, did you check your setup against the documentation? If so, can you share a link to it?

[green perch]

!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.

[astral stone]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.visualeffectgraph@16.0/manual/Block-SetPosition(SkinnedMesh).html
and I assumed this is where I had to look for the docs but i really dont know if theres more to the equation, using the set position(smr) with an smr & transform fed through the inspector shouldve been fine right?

[somber spire]

can i change the layout unity uses for shortcuts? cause its using a qwerty layout but im using a qwertz layout so a few sortcuts are different which is really annoying. i dont know why it doesnt use the layout i set in my system settings, prolly because im on linux but im not sure

[astral stone]

it cant get much simpler than this setup, i just want particles around a mesh

Bwaah_Snap~1

[slow dirge]

So, to clarify, the particles do spawn, but not on the surface of the mesh?

[astral stone]

yeee, sorry if that wasnt clear, they are spawning theyre just not setting their position properly for some reason

[somber spire]

how can i turn these off i knew there was a way to disable the messages but i dont remember (in vscode)

[slow dirge]

First thing I'd try is to add set position skinned in the update block.

anyone aware of a bug or reason why my editor keeps jumping down to the packages section? even if i collapse it and am focusing on something else, when i stop running my game in editor it jumps back down there. im on 6000.3.5f1, have seen it in a few other 6.3 versions too

[astral stone]

just produced particles up in the top right

like with init

[slow dirge]

Second, try "apply world root transform".

[astral stone]

shoves the group a little further up lol

[slow dirge]

Third, when the model animates, do the particles seem to move in sync with the animation?

[slow dirge]

Let's move this to the vfx channel.

[nocturne bolt]

Where is the help channel

I don't know how to code yet and I've got this error

https://paste.ofcode.org/um5eF522DmtbiDJXJv6r7Y can someone tell me why my directional 2d movement animation script isnt working

[nocturne bolt]

No

Someone else made it for me

[dusky forum]

Well, whatever's written in the script has some collection being accessed using invalid values. The value is either negative or beyond the count of the collection

[gray frigate]

this is a very vague question

what is the problem?

[robust schooner]

HELP! I desperatly need someones help on getting IntelliSense on VS Code to work with Unity! So I originally had the newest .NET SDK for the C# Dev Kit for coding in C# for Unity, and for some reason, I got errors from VS Code complaining on how I did not have a .NET SDK that was NOT complient with Unity or some shit like that. SO After a couple of ChatGPT prompts and google searches later, I discovered that Unity is most stable on .NET SDK 6.0.xxx not the newest 10.0.xxx (xxx as in the specific version numbers that I cannot recall). After I set up the global.json that had the correct version for the SDK and everythin,g I got a new error from VS Code, saying (Look at screenshot). So, then I double click on the eror and see this sigh (check other screenshot). SO now, I don't know what to do know, I could get the .NET SDK 8.0.xxx but i'm not sure if that will work, and on top of that, im not even sure if that's the root problem!

[gray frigate]

I don't remember if the C# Dev Kit add-on is recommended anymore (it's been a hot minute since I used VSC for Unity)

!vscode

[gray frigate]

ah, it is

[robust schooner]

Aw Hell nah there's a curriculum for this! I should have known better, this should walk me through it, thank you so so much!

[gray frigate]

I'm not sure if it'll help, though; I see that this deprecation just happened

I've never understood .NET versions very well

[robust schooner]

Me neither tbh

[gray frigate]

there's .NET Standard, .NET Framework, .NET...just that, with no other qualifiers

[slow dirge]

This depreciation shouldn't affect anything though.
I'd recommend going through the full guide, then restarting your PC and checking if the intellisense is fixed.

[gray frigate]

yeah, I'd do that first

this may just be a red herring

[robust schooner]

Hmph

[gray frigate]

.NET Standard is just a specification (which is satisfied by various .NET implementations)

that makes more sense now

[robust schooner]

The webpage doesn't seem to mention anything about the .NET setup or anything related

[slow dirge]

Because you don't need to do it normally.

The extension should install it for you.

[robust schooner]

I've tried unistalling it and reinstalling it multiple times, let me try to restart my computer, I'll update you when i'm done.

[slow dirge]

Yea, you usually need to restart the env for it to pick it up. It might be using PATH env variables that are picked at the start of the session. Usually restarting vs code is enough, but I've seen people that had to restart their pc for it to work.

[robust schooner]

No luck

No definitions on any of the Unity stuff

This is pissing me off

Why can't intellisense just work 😭

error that vs code sits out if of any use, and yes, the global.json matches it, I can provide ass of that if you would liek as well

[slow dirge]

Try running dotnet in the vs code terminal and then in a terminal opened separately.

[robust schooner]

Here you can see the original one and the one I installed later

[slow dirge]

Is that in VS code?

[storm patio]

@robust schooner have you tried installing .net via the .net install tool in vscode

[robust schooner]

Yes, that was how I installed the 10.0.102

[robust schooner]

No that was powershell

Oh sorry

[slow dirge]

And in vs code..?

[robust schooner]

I though I pasted the one in VS code

one sec

[storm patio]

🤔 ive only ever installed via .net install tool and i have v9

[robust schooner]

The latter however I dowloaded elsewhere

[robust schooner]

here's global.json:

[robust schooner]

I just got unity lol, and v10.0.xxx was released a couple of weeks ago so it makes sense

[storm patio]

ah.

[slow dirge]

Did you actually edit that global json manually? I don't think I ever need to do it. Can you check the C# devkit output in vs code?

[storm patio]

ah wait, slnx? i remember there being something different with that but i don't remember what...

[robust schooner]

I will send a ss

I actually don't know what slnx is, but it is mentioned in the C# error msg in VS code

[slow dirge]

What about the question that I asked?

Did you modify that json manually?

[robust schooner]

Sorry, yes I did edit it manually

[slow dirge]

Try deleting it then restarting vs code.

[robust schooner]

Will do, I will delete the file in file explorer, then restart VS Code by closing it in Task Manager, sound good?

Or is there a better way to "restart" VS Code

[slow dirge]

You can probably close it normally.

[robust schooner]

deleted

Now let me close VS code and reopen

Ok... so I think it might just be becuase I just reopned VS Code and didn't unistall and reinstall the extensions, but no error popped up, if you would like I could check the output. More importantly however, things native to Unity are not in a differnt text color and also, when I right click things like TextMeshProUGUI or Rigidbody and select go to Definition, nothing shows up, just like before

Switched to 10.0.102

[slow dirge]

What does the output show?

[robust schooner]

Here:

[slow dirge]

Try regenerating project files in unity preferences - external tools.
Then check if vs code even opening the solution) should be able to see in the tabs on the left.

[robust schooner]

I know how to do the first part, but I don't undertand the latter

Let me regenerate it first

I regenerated the files

[slow dirge]

In vs code there's the "explorer" tab. It should have a "solution Explorer" section.

[robust schooner]

Pardon?

Sorry for not understanding 😅

[slow dirge]

Yeah, you're missing it. 🤔

[robust schooner]

Is that... normal?

[slow dirge]

Nope.

[robust schooner]

More problems 😭

[slow dirge]

Can you restart vs code, wait a min, then copy the C# devkit, C# and unity output logs and share them as big code blocks:

[slow dirge]

I noticed that this is not the c# dev kit log...

[robust schooner]

I was about to ask about that

How do I check the output on the Devkit, C#, and Unity logs

[slow dirge]

It's in the same place, but you need to select the right output channel in the dropdown

[robust schooner]

Ah I see!

just the devkit?

[slow dirge]

Yes

[robust schooner]

Is it possible for me to just provide a ss? or do you need me to paste the exact output?

[slow dirge]

If everything fits in a screenshot and is readable, it's fine I guess.

[robust schooner]

Ok

[slow dirge]

That sort of explains it. And one big likely culprit is putting the project in a one drive managed folder.

First of all move it somewhere safe. And try reopening it again.

[robust schooner]

Somewhere safe as in a place outside the onedrive folder?

[slow dirge]

Yes. Closer to the disk root is better.

C:\unityProj or something

[robust schooner]

WIll
C:\Users[My user]\CodingProjects\UnityProjects work?

[slow dirge]

No. Users is bad as well

[robust schooner]

Oof

Ok

I'll create something outside Users

I personally don't like creating my projects outside of my User, considering my parents use this laptop as well, but if you say so!

I noticed when moving the folder I have it in right now to the New Folder I want to have it in, it says Copying instead of Moving

I don't think that is right

[slow dirge]

That's how working with big frameworks/engines works.
You could probably get it to work in users, but it might require more troubleshooting and configuring various access rights, etc..

[robust schooner]

Ok 👍

[slow dirge]

Copying is fine too. You can delete the old folder later if you want.

[robust schooner]

Ah ok

Holy shit! Didn't know there was so much!

[slow dirge]

A lot of it is probably from the library, that you don't really have to copy.

In fact you might need to regenerate it anyway at the new path.

[robust schooner]

Uh, it's 93% complete should I cancel now?

[slow dirge]

No

[robust schooner]

Ah hell nah 😭

Let me close unity and Vs Code and try again

Now it's saying this 🤔

Try again just makes it load back up

[slow dirge]

You can skip it

[robust schooner]

Ok

another one

Another one

[slow dirge]

Do skip for all

[robust schooner]

Ok

Right-E-O

All of it is copied

I will now proceed in dleteing the project in OneDrive

correct?

[slow dirge]

You can. It's not strictly required to run it in the new path.

[robust schooner]

Ok, I'll keep it for now in case anything goes wrong, but wil ldelete it later

Now what shall I do?

[slow dirge]

Open the moved/copied project in unity, then open a script in vs code.

[robust schooner]

Opened

[slow dirge]

First, does it seem to be fixed? If not, share the new logs.

[robust schooner]

Firstly, no it doesn't (same reasons as b4 -- no differnt txt color and no definitions) stay tuned for logs

[robust schooner]

Must I open a new Terminal and check output to see the logs? Or will that reset everything?

[slow dirge]

You need to open the output tab. It wouldn't reset anything.

Neither will opening a new terminal.

[robust schooner]

C# Dev Kit:

C#:

[slow dirge]

Hmm... Are signed in with Ms account in vs code?

[robust schooner]

Yes

[slow dirge]

Try "manage extension account preferences" and setting your account for the dev kit extension.

[robust schooner]

ok

I did

I selected my account

Nothing happned or appeared

just the popup went away

[slow dirge]

Now try restarting vs code and checking the devkit logs again. Do the errors still appear? If yes, try logging out/in into the ms account and repeat.

[robust schooner]

ok

C# devkit errors appeared:

Interesting

I'll press "Sign Out" again

Logging in

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah that looks like a VS code error / licensing, not a unity one.

[gusty abyss]

Unity Hub crashes when I try to open any file explorer from inside of it

[robust schooner]

@slow dirge interesting, found this when looking to sync back my profile

Anyways, I don't see a way to sing back in

Im stupid I know 😅

[slow dirge]

Should be in the profile accounts context menu. ProfileAccounts icon at the bottom left.

[robust schooner]

I don't see anything that allows me to sing back in with my microsoft account

This shit is so frustrating

[slow dirge]

Sign in to sync settings perhaps?

[robust schooner]

where is that?

[slow dirge]

Try manage extension account preferences and then add new account there.

[robust schooner]

Don't see an option to do so

[slow dirge]

Click the dev kit

[slow dirge]

Isn't there a "use new account" option?

[robust schooner]

No 😭

Oh yes

nvm

I see it

[slow dirge]

I mean when you click the extension in the manage extension account preferences...

[robust schooner]

You have to click the GithUb option

[robust schooner]

Sorry I pasted the worng ss

You are correct

[slow dirge]

Also, did you try restarting vs code after logging out?

[robust schooner]

Oh nooo

I mean ye

yes

[robust schooner]

Yes I did

[slow dirge]

OK, so are you able to use a new account there or not?

[robust schooner]

No as in when i try to log in, it tries to log me in through github

[slow dirge]

Not the github extension. The C# dev kit.

[robust schooner]

I fyou click that it says "This extension has not used any accounts"

[slow dirge]

Try opening the extension page in extensions tab, clicking the gears icon - account preferences

[robust schooner]

Same error

However I also do see a settings tab once hitting the gear icon, dunno if that is of any help

[slow dirge]

That's weird. Try restarting your PC.

[robust schooner]

ok

Im back

Lemme open VS Code once again

Same error

Woah

I see a new popup!

@slow dirge Woohoo!

1 step closer

Singing in

Signed in

I'll wait here for instructions

(Finished signing in btw)

[slow dirge]

Don't wait. Use your own head a little bit.
Check the output logs. Try restarting the program.

[robust schooner]

[slow dirge]

Basically, your pc/vs code is sending an invalid access key to MS and the server rejects verification.

[robust schooner]

Hmph

Let me try 1 last time

Signing out

Closing

Restarting

[slow dirge]

That's the same issue.
A few things to try:

• make sure vs code is updated.
• try signing our of all accounts in vs code, restart it, then sign in with Microsoft account first.

[robust schooner]

I am up to date

Let me try to sign out of all accounts including my Github

If this doesn't work, might as well contact microsoft help support 😭

Again, the same error

ugh

I'm contacting Microsoft, thanks for the support everyone!

Especially you, @slow dirge

Thanks again

[slow dirge]

Might be easier to use visual studio.

[robust schooner]

100% is

But i'm 1. to lazy to install it and 2. Am not that hardcore of a progammer to use it

[slow dirge]

If anything vs code is more for "hardcore" programmers. Not something I'd recommend a beginner.

[robust schooner]

Oh really, and why is that?

ANd btw im not a beginner lol

I've programmed in python for 4+ years

[slow dirge]

Because you need to be able to troubleshoot issues like these. And other kind of tinkering often required.

[robust schooner]

Ah I see

[slow dirge]

While VS should work out of the box. With minimum setup.

[robust schooner]

This is so infuriating

[soft cloak]

Hey, i'm using the latest unity 6.3 LTS, and the editor is creating a shitload of empty windows :
I have no fucking idea what's happening here 😐

[charred fog]

Make sure you are on the last minor version. Also could try restarting (rebooting) and maybe resetting layout or even regenerating Library.

[hasty zinc]

i heard that moving speed code or whatever this code : "transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);" gets changed to some codes like rb.velocity is this true?

[soft cloak]

It looks like some "empty" Unity process are opening, killing them resolve the issue but it keeps reopening after time :

[storm patio]

what exactly is your question? i can't comprehend your sentence

[charred fog]

Are you on the last minor version?

[soft cloak]

6000.3.6f1

the last one available in the hub

[charred fog]

Try doing the things I've described. I'm on the same version and it is working just fine for me.

[soft cloak]

I've just tried it, but I still get Unity processes opening :/

[upbeat prism]

Wow! - I updated to latest version of Collections package to see this. why this official package shows error? I am using Unity 6.3 by the way.

[ocean pumice]

Did you try to update the package?

[upbeat prism]

Yes

[ocean pumice]

Looks like you are having a lot of editors open, which might call the hub to reopen or some background services. did you fully restart your machine?

[storm patio]

this is a bug, update unity

[upbeat prism]

Yep i restarted unity first and then posted here when i did not have any solutions. I just downgraded to v2.6.2 and the error is gone. So, yeah looks like a unity bug as @storm patio said.

For anyone else who might face this problem.. I am using Unity 6.3 LTS (6000.3.2f1) and Collections only up to v2.6.2 is supported.

[charred fog]

It was fixed in latest version

Upgrade to latest minor version

[pearl oyster]

also the error doesn't stop you from using the package

[upbeat prism]

Hmm. that is good to know.

[safe garden]

Just wondering if anyone here would happen to know - I am a 3D generalist but I'd like to start getting into VFX and shader work, more of a tech art role - if you're looking into shader work and vfx specifically what would you be looking to learn, Shader graph and amplify material editor? Curious to know what is used for creating VFX for unity now? Thanks

[ocean pumice]

VFXGraph might one big topic depending on the target platform. But also shadergraph of course and probably also custom postprocessing effects

[ember verge]

Did anybody knows any free locomotion pack which include as much as animation that can be used in shooter games

[deft rock]

By "locomotion", I assume you mean a player movement solution..?

Unity does a FPS Start Assets pack, which is free.

animation.. search the store.

[visual pumice]

Every tutorial I watch about implementing some feature uses either Start or Awake to initialize, but it would be better to use OnEnable to init because that makes object pooling easier to implement.

I know this because I had to implement object pooling in a large project a few years back. I really wish that I had used OnEnable and OnDisable from the start

[deft rock]

They all have their use. It makes sense to use OnEnable and OnDisable when pooling, because you may have things that need to run every time the object becomes active/ inactive.

If the thing you're doing is getting a component, then you don't need that every time, just once is enough.

So, it just depends what the functionaly being ran is doing.

[visual pumice]

That's true. I just wish that I had known what a pain in the ass it would be to udpate that and how I might have saved hours of work just by using OnEnable and OnDisable and making sure to clean everything up. Then, pooling would have been trivial.

Pooling is one of those things that people complain about implementing and it can be error-prone if you're not careful, but I didn't have many issues with it. Mostly, it was just a long and tedious refactor. I hope someone sees my experience here and thinks, "hmm, maybe I should use OnEnable to initialize this instead" because it might save them time down the line

Also, I don't have any singletons in my project so I think that made pooling a little easier to implement as well. I don't have to de-register things from a singleton or static manager

---

I knew that when I implemented pooling, I'd see a performance boost, but I did not realize that it would be noticeable on desktop. Pooling is great!

[deft rock]

there's nothing wrong with singletons, when used correctly. Nor does their use make a real difference to pooling - there's where you would definitely want to use OnEnable/ OnDisable..

[ember verge]

sorry for the misunderstanding due to less info. locomotion does mean player movement but i want the animation for making one character controller. so i am searching for a pack or assest which have some free locomotion animations

[deft rock]

private void OnEnable() => RegisterActions(true);
private void OnDisable() => RegisterActions(false);

private void RegisterActions(bool enable)
{
    someManager.Instance.DoThing -= Foo;
    if (register == false) { return; }
    someManager.Instance.DoThing += Foo;
}```

[visual pumice]

Yeah if I had a global event register this would be the way to do it. Instead I have a decoupled sparse managed messaging system to avoid tight coupling. It's useful in Multiplayer especially, because I can reproduce the messages easily and references don't need to be very congruent. In most game engines, I do use a singleton GameManager to handle things like scene transitions and fail states but in Unity I have a framework that I use to develop with and it doesn't contain any singletons.

I was thinking about this because I saw a video from Sasquatch B Studios where he talks about singletons and implements one for scene transitions. I saw him using Start to initialize and it made me think about pooling so I wanted to share that experience

It's this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQEqJ4TJzUk

[deft rock]

Scrubbing through that, so I may have missed it, but I don't see a single use of Start() .. lots of Awake() and some OnEnable/OnDisable

[visual pumice]

oh sorry you're right, he used Awake

🤦‍♂️

[deft rock]

the awakes (that I saw) are for things you'd only want to happen once

[visual pumice]

Yeah I don't think his code is bad

[flat breach]

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

[flat breach]

can someone help me please, I really need help on this, it's been 4 days

[ocean pumice]

So what is nto working, your event being called or the prefab? Please try to rephrase it

[flat breach]

I don't see the prefab effect appear at all and this happens with all of the VFX prefabs so I don't think it's the script the issue

[ocean pumice]

You disabled them visually in scene view

[flat breach]

No I didn’t

Everything is enabled there including the particle systems and visual effect graphs

[ocean pumice]

On your screenshot the Button itself is disabled

[flat breach]

Bro, thank you so much

Not the first time you help me, thank you soooo much, it’s always small things like this causing issue

[ocean pumice]

You are very welcome and youll get use to those little things over time 🙂 We all been there at some point 😄

[weary vortex]

hey all, hope you're having a great week.

Quick "best practices" question, I'm building my first game, a fairly simple platformer game for mobile, see attached.
Should I use a new scene for each level?

[ocean pumice]

You can either go with scene per level or prefab per level. Depends how you want to handle stuff that is shared outside of those levels. When going with scene, you get a clean unload and reload of stuff. If you would go for prefabs, you would have to handle the level states yourself, but can keep all initial setup without the need to bring them over to the other scene or load scenes additive, but you would need to load the prefabs resource friendly and not as inspector prefabs for example.

[weary vortex]

thanks for the response, much appreciated!

[hybrid tangle]

I suggest dividing levels into different chunks which are actually just scenes (commonly called sectors, chapters, stories, etc). You could have around 5 levels in each chunk and add a neat little menu for each chunk.

[tidal raft]

guys is there a way to reput in a prefab... accidentally deleted it and all its instances got deleted too

i tried ctrl z but it didnt fix it

[hybrid tangle]

Go to the recycle bin on your computer

Trash bin

Should be there

[tidal raft]

thank u 🙏

[nova brook]

Is that true Unity now support C# CoreCLR??

[sly lake]

No, not yet.

[nova brook]

hmm i think they are integrating CoreCLR in 6.7

[copper gust]

which is far from now

[nova brook]

[copper gust]

And even that is partial iirc

[nova brook]

Yeah but in future we are able to do that

[sly lake]

Yeah, just a public test IIRC

[sly lake]

Frankly, I think if you started building your own engine in dotnet right now you'd probably be done with it by the time CoreCLR is stable and usable in Unity.

[nova brook]

i am also learning C#

[sly lake]

Right. Don't worry about CoreCLR just yet then 😉

[nova brook]

Yeah Also C# is cool my experience with other languages is not too good

but C# is interesting

What exactly it means when they say "HDRP is for more performant high end game systems"?

I mean, what graphics card minimum? Would 3050 8GB be considered high end?

[jovial ledge]

can someone help me with my unity lighting data? idk whats broken if its universal additional lighting data or somewhere in shaders?

[worldly cave]

3050 is not really high end no

its a budget card now and will stay one for a while with the current pricing crisis

as for the "hdrp is for more performant high end systems" well yeah thats pretty much what it is, it is the "high definition" render pipeline after all, but the general rule of thumb for development is, if you cant run your own game on your pc while developing it, then you really need to scale it down

[woeful spear]

Okay. Next relevant question: Games like RDR2 need 1060 6GB for good enough performance. It's not high end at all, even lower than 3050. Does it mean URP can make games like that?

[worldly cave]

red dead redemption 2 is an 8 year old game

built on a different engine in a different time

[sly lake]

The RTX 3050 is perfectly adequate for HDRP

[worldly cave]

also yes

i didnt mention this

but your 3050 is enough for hdrp

[sly lake]

By "more performant high-end systems" it just means, not a mobile phone or Nintendo Switch 1

[worldly cave]

the rule of "dont make a game you cant run" still stands though

also ask yourself, do you need hdrp for your project

and is there anything hdrp will do for your project that urp wont

[woeful spear]

I get it. I know URP and Rockstar are nowhere same things so no comparison. But I'm curious. Would one use URP or HDRP to make a game exactly like that again? (so that official specifications are still same like 1060).

[sly lake]

A game like that would almost certainly require a custom engine

[worldly cave]

yeah i dont think just using hdrp is enough in this case

theres also a lot more to getting a game to look like "that" then the renderer

sure its the first step here but ive seen some ugly ass hdrp games and a couple of really good looking urp games

[woeful spear]

So we really can't compare 🤔

[worldly cave]

i mean thats why i asked

is there a reason you would need hdrp over urp for your project

just using hdrp is no guarantee that your project is suddenly going to look better or more realistic

[sly lake]

If you want to target current-gen consoles, and equivalent gaming PC's, then HDRP is a good option.

The GTX 1060 would be somewhere around the minimum where you can just about run at playable framerates. Rather than the recommended

But it's also quite old and not used that much anymore

[woeful spear]

So, suppose I (realistically a team) want to make a game with similar graphics as RDR2 (lights, grass, sky etc.). I want to decide which pipeline would be better for me.

[worldly cave]

in all honesty

even with a team, youre probably not making a game even close to rdr2's fidelity and level of detail...

considering that game was in development for 8 years with over 400 employees working on it

[sly lake]

But HDRP does have nice sky and atmosphere systems that could get you somewhat close results

[stuck flower]

And especially not with a canned engine. RDR2 uses an in-house engine built from the ground up for that sort of fidelity

[worldly cave]

you can make a realistic game with unity using hdrp dont get me wrong, its going to take time and effort but rdr2 is just a completely different beast

[exotic relic]

A big chunk of good graphics is good models and the right lighting setup. URP can create amazing content. HDRP does not automatically make your game look good, it’s a lot of setup and mainly a atmospheric thing

[worldly cave]

also from a practical stand point, a stylized game with consistent and good art direction is going to always age far better than any realistic game would

[sly lake]

Yeah, in 2001.

[worldly cave]

even now

but ok

[sly lake]

People are still playing GTA V. Games haven't aged meaningfully in a while now

[worldly cave]

do you think gta 5 is not stylized?

in some capacity

[woeful spear]

GTA is my primary game, so I'm obsessed with realistic graphics.

[sly lake]

Anyway, just go play with HDRP. It'll get you closer to what you want.

[woeful spear]

I don't enjoy stylized graphics much.

[worldly cave]

its hard to notice

but gta 5 while realistic is not photo realistic

it doesnt try to be like rdr2, not even that its a product of its time

its just how its designed

its stylized realism, csgo or rather cs2 does something very similar, and its another reason why it looks so good for so long

[exotic relic]

Lighting can make something horrible look amazing

Really just play around and youll learn

[sly lake]

For now, if it runs on your machine that's good enough anyway

[sly eagle]

Hello there, im getting this error while trying to add project from repository.

this repository does not contain a valid Unity project. Unity projects must contain a valid Unity version file in the path "ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt".

can someone help?

(also there is a projectVersion.txt)

[woeful spear]

Yeah but they did best for that time.

[exotic relic]

They did do a good job. That’s a big consistency thing

[worldly cave]

i dont think youre understanding what im trying to tell you

but its fine

[exotic relic]

Besides atmosphere red redemption graphics can absolutely be made in URP with good performance

I see a lot of mega scans in that game

[sly lake]

Yeah but why would you want to use a render pipeline designed for mobile games when you're targeting gaming PC's?

[jovial ledge]

anyone knows whats wrong with my unity? every vfx, lighting, point light and anything else connected to lighting and shaders is broken...

[woeful spear]

The biggest change in RDR2 and GTA5 is lights and volumetric stuff.

[exotic relic]

Because not everyone has a good pc, you should target 120fps.

[sly lake]

Lol

[woeful spear]

That is one of my other concerns. I mean I don't want to make game for browser and mobile. Only PC.

[sly lake]

The Knightling runs on URP. Couldn't manage a stable 30fps on XSX

Now it looks outdated and runs poorly

[deft rock]

HDRP is overkill if you're making something liiiikkee.. Fortnite

[deft rock]

poor development

(I dunno how/ why I replied to a 'lol')

[exotic relic]

For sure. HDRP adds a lot of background stuff that costs

Even in a empty scene I tested HDRP and it reduced my FPS by 50

[sly lake]

These settings are locked to 60fps on the RTX 3060.

At eh, 1440p resolution

[exotic relic]

I needed URP for good performance to make up for my textures lol. I have a dev log with something I made (which I need to start posting more pics of)

#1453983653993648199 message

[safe garden]

what is typically used for AAA games? on a stylized indie game we're working on we're on URP, does any one use built in render pipeline?

[sly lake]

Yeah I think URP just doesn't make sense for a game like that. Your target audience will have modern-ish hardware

[worldly cave]

Most aaa games dont use unity

so its hard to say

typically in house engines

rarely stuff like unreal or unity

[deft rock]

GTFO (old now) was Unity when HDRP was still new

[sly lake]

Yeah, there are a few Asian MMO's and mobile games that fit that description

[jovial ledge]

you guys know how to fix this? ive been searching for hours and i really dont know whats wrong...

[sly lake]

But Unity really just doesn't scale to AAA sizes

[latent meadow]

Genshin Impact, Escape from Tarkov, Rust, Cities: Skylines, etc all use Unity

[worldly cave]

3* of those games i wouldnt call triple a

[latent meadow]

as with Unreal, if you are doing AAA you will re-write portions of the engine./

[sly lake]

Which is why you want an engine that lets you have the source code

[latent meadow]

Unity does, at the paid levels, of course

[sly lake]

From what I've heard they're difficult about this

[exotic relic]

Honestly I’ve had better luck developing good graphics in Unity than unreal. The only thing unreal does good is automatically give you awesome lighting and that makes anything stand out.

[latent meadow]

same

[latent meadow]

Wouldn't surprise me

[jovial ledge]

do you know how to fix universal additional lighting data?

[exotic relic]

No. But you can try baking your lighting

[latent meadow]

try talking to #1390346776804069396 perhaps

[deft rock]

'Inside' is indie and had source access

[worldly cave]

to be fair thats more about notoriety

[deft rock]

Were they that big before 'Inside' ?

And it's not like AAA devs won't have notoriety..

[sly lake]

Access, yes.

Getting to maintain your own copy though?

[deft rock]

They changed the source..

[worldly cave]

limbo

[exotic relic]

What do you define as AAA tho. Is Minecraft a AAA? It’s a billion dollar game

16px resolution

[deft rock]

that doesn't answer the question, Limbo was well known, but I wouldn't say they were as big before Inside

[worldly cave]

limbo was one of the defining "indie" games when it released

like i said, its about notoriety mostly

same reason why valve just gave garry newman the source 2 sdk

[safe garden]

I have seen nice cinematics and arch viz made in Unity though

[exotic relic]

Little bit of new POV. What is the argument about AAA? What is the requirement from a game to become that?
Minecraft is fun, still has millions of players, billion dollar revenue, doesn’t even have a story or good graphics. What do you want?

[sly lake]

Pretty sure these days it just means "I don't like it"

Whereas an indie game is whatever suits your narrative, even when it has 300 developers 🙂

[radiant pewter]

what is this thing that keeps appearing as a child of any text using this font? it wasn't happening in a different project

[latent meadow]

Unity is perfectly fine. this is why i do not invest more than a line or two arguing with those set against recognizing that. people always point to UE, without understanding its terrible flaws and caveats

[sly lake]

I'd say both engines are quite cursed with having to support a broad set of requirements these days

[latent meadow]

indeed

[sly lake]

As well as an ever expanding hardware scene where nobody ever drops old stuff anymore

[exotic relic]

UE took every possible unity asset store tool and added it to the engine by default 🤣 it’s a lot to mess with. The performance is really not that good. I’d consider it to be more of a render engine vs a game

[worldly cave]

the true definition of "indie" has died the second dave the diver won that award

what a disgrace to all the talented actually-indie devs

[sly lake]

The devs didn't agree with that label either

But yeah, I saw "Indie game ARC Raiders" as a headline at one point 😄

[safe garden]

UE doesn't have prefabs does it, afaik?

got used to using Unity nowadays so its kinda become my favourite

[latent meadow]

their version is Blueprints, essentially

[jovial ledge]

if its not ea or ubisoft its indie apparently

[jovial ledge]

light should have more data in there and unversal additional light data script should show data too.

vfx arent loading well and some are not showing anymore even if they are complete.

point lights are also broken.

all this happened after i removed an imported shader from unity assets store..

[latent meadow]

ok, as i mentioned .. maybe talk to #1390346776804069396

[deft rock]

Minecraft is an outlier. Would you not say it started off as Indie when it first launched?

[worldly cave]

minecraft was an indie all the way up until the microsoft acquisition

simply because they were completely independently published up until then

you could even say they were super indie

because they were also independently distributed

[deft rock]

There's the term "Triple Indie" I've seen floating about

[exotic relic]

So are you saying for me to make my game not indie but AAA I need to hire a bunch of people?

[latent meadow]

seems the biggest deciding factors in if it is 'indie' or not are, Massive budget and team, major publisher backing, extensive marketing, and usually 'high end production', i.e. professional voice acting, pushing the limits of hardware, etc

[worldly cave]

think that refers to games like expedition 33

its a play on AAA, but they are III

[worldly cave]

i really stand by that its entirely publishing

people really underestimate how much a good publisher does for a game

thats why "indie publishing" is such an oxymoron

[exotic relic]

Create a new project and copy the Assets folder over to it. Just to see if it might be an editor setting.
I haven’t seen the additional lighting script though, that’s always like that for me

[sacred imp]

I am unable to create new projects using unity hub. So whenever I click on a project, and try to change its location by clicking on "Location", it closes the unity hub. How can I fix it?

[latent meadow]

i remember back when, there were some cool games coming out of eastern Europe and surroundingn areas that i had never heard of until i bought them off the shelf. Witcher 1 as an example, but several, i think RUssian backed, looking back, perhaps Ukrainian.

[latent meadow]

a quick search came up with a random thing.. do you by chance have Aspera Connect installed?

[jovial ledge]

i tried, it didnt work, i even tried to delete library folder so that all the assets reload. and i also tried to use library from old version from github cuz thats working but ye i didnt push my new lot of progress (my fault). so yea

[sacred imp]

What is that

[latent meadow]

NM then. not your issue @ aayush

[exotic relic]

Is your shader on the right pipeline it’s made for

Also that point light doesn’t have anything to actually project onto, add a cube. You may also need to enable additional lights in the URP settings

[sacred imp]

Everything was working fine 2 days ago, then suddenly it stopped working yesterday

[latent meadow]

IDK if it updated on your system, or what may have changed. you can always try uninstalling and reinstalling the hub

[sacred imp]

I did

I even tried updating my GPU drivers

Windows too

[latent meadow]

perhaps time to read the log files then

[gusty abyss]

Hey guys im working on gamepad support and trying to implement my gamepad to work like a cursor. But, for some weird reason my virtual mouse doesn't point at ui (can't highlight) and clicking doesnt seem to work. This is the code im using:

    private void UpdateMotion()
    {
        if (virtualMouse == null || Gamepad.current == null) return;

        Vector2 stickValue = inputs[0].action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

        stickValue *= cursorSpeed * Time.unscaledDeltaTime;

        Vector2 currentPosition = virtualMouse.position.ReadValue();
        Vector2 newPosition = currentPosition + stickValue;

        newPosition.x = Mathf.Clamp(newPosition.x, 0F, Screen.width - padding);
        newPosition.y = Mathf.Clamp(newPosition.y, 0F, Screen.height - padding);

        InputState.Change(virtualMouse.position, newPosition);
        InputState.Change(virtualMouse.delta, stickValue);

        bool isPressed = inputs[1].action.triggered;

        if (previousMouseState != isPressed)
        {
            virtualMouse.CopyState(out MouseState state);
            state.WithButton(MouseButton.Left, isPressed);
            InputState.Change(virtualMouse, state);
            previousMouseState = isPressed;
        }

        AnchorCursor(newPosition);
    }

While in my inputactionasset i've tried to set point to the position of the virtual mouse and for clicks to be on the virtual mouse left button and also the gamepad button. Im really not sure why it wont work. The event system is also set up with my custom ui input module.

[latent meadow]

so you know, there are dedicated #🖱️┃input-system and #💻┃code-beginner rooms

[worldly cave]

[latent meadow]

not sure what is suggested is wrong with the way they sent the code

[worldly cave]

honestly im under the impression that its best to keep inline for very small chunks

and use paste sites for everything else

thats how ive been doing it personally and i thought it was the general rule of thumb here

[storm patio]

i think for something like this, it's fine in either solution

[latent meadow]

to a degree, it ends up a matter of personal preference. i seem to recall people on phones having issue seeing some attachments

[storm patio]

well attachments are always not ideal since they clip content even on pc

[latent meadow]

hmm. the hosters need to fix that, then. seems a glaring issue

[storm patio]

wdym? this is just a discord thing

[latent meadow]

oh, i thought you meant linking out to a hosting paste site

[storm patio]

ah, i guess this is a discord api thing - in the api files in a message are sometimes referred to as attachments, so i thought you meant that

[latent meadow]

by clipping, do you mean length or width?

[storm patio]

on pc file previews are clipped to like, 10 lines in the inline preview and 100 in the popup i think?

they're truncated and show ... (200 KB left) or whatever

[wraith pasture]

unity users who learned blender afterwards. how did you get used to the controls? it annoys me

[latent meadow]

Ah. yeah. that is supposed to be the issue the paste sites resolve, but i think they sometimes introduce their own issues

[worldly cave]

i was the opposite

blender first then unity

the truth is, you get used to it

[wraith pasture]

ok fine

[deft rock]

same way we got used to Unity controls... keep using

[storm patio]

the mobile issue with paste sites was, when you tap it turns into a blank editor
but last time i checked i didn't encounter that issue, so maybe they fixed that?

[wraith pasture]

well idk unity felt natural to me

[latent meadow]

cool deal. i hope they did

[storm patio]

yeah

[modest meteor]

which ones?

[wraith pasture]

definitely the moving around in the scene

[latent meadow]

i ended up getting a 'spacemouse' due to the annoying control differences

[wraith pasture]

wha-

[modest meteor]

i changed mine to be exactly the same as it is in unity

[worldly cave]

imo the unity ones are more intuitive for new users, but using blender for close to half a decade at this point its almost second nature to me

[wraith pasture]

you can do that?

[sacred imp]

Nothing fixed,it just closes whenever I try to choose location for folder

[latent meadow]

what, what? a spacemouse is a hardware device that you use to move around in 3D space in either blender or unity. i also use voice commands for many functions

[modest meteor]

yeah blender has a freelook camera mode

[latent meadow]

have you tried deleting the Hub cache?

[sacred imp]

Yes everything

[latent meadow]

i have no ideas then. good luck to you

[storm patio]

the truth is every tool has subtly different controls from every other tool in the same category and eventually you either override controls in one of them or you just live with it
examples include:

• programming language syntax
• ide keybinds
• mouse binds for moving in 3d space
• media controls for videos in the web
• media viewer apps
• drawing app keybinds
• touchscreen/trackpad gestures
• markup-style text editors
• os system keybinds/actions

[sacred imp]

Lol thanks for your help though

[wraith pasture]

first time i heard about this. wow

[worldly cave]

honestly i always thought of getting one but the learning curve really makes me rethink it each time

[wraith pasture]

ok great so basically the best way ahead is to just go with the defaults for now as most beginner courses use that

[latent meadow]

i found no learning curve.. you plug it in and start using it. the most difficult thing was deciding if you want to be the object or the camera, then you just set what is natural for you

[wraith pasture]

i have no clue about all the settings so that would take a lot time probs

[storm patio]

yeah, they'll be referring to specific keybinds a lot. once you're comfortable with the actions, you could then customize them

[wraith pasture]

now i want one after seeing it lol

[gusty abyss]

Wait is it possible some controllers dont support unity's virtual mouse?

[storm patio]

ive changed so many aseprite keybinds that i can't tell people what keybinds to use since i have no idea if what i use is the default lmao

[latent meadow]

i think everyone who really gets serious about their workflow ends up like that

[storm patio]

"yeah just press cmd+g to open the package manager"
"wdym it doesn't work"

"...oh, that's my own keybind"

i lot of times i try to do stuff in other ides or other people's devices and it just doesn't work because turns out, i'd customized that keybind lmao

[latent meadow]

indeed. i can only use my own computer. cannot even use blender on someone elses

well, blender is not terrible, thanks to the added context in the status bar. FreeCAD 1.1 is finally doing the same thing! it is rc2 now. full release should be pretty soon

[proven obsidian]

theres any way to fix this error

[latent meadow]

did you follow the notes in the image?

[proven obsidian]

yeah

and it didnt got fixed

[latent meadow]

and how exactly did you check to verify your firewall policies are not interfering?

I am having this problem

Whenever i click on locate, it just closes on its own

[latent meadow]

have you tried changing the Default location in the settings, instead of using the post location? maybe OneDrive or something silly is causing havoc

like, make a c:\ProjectsFolder then set that as default in Hub Settings

[sacred imp]

Problem is, it doesn't allow to manually type location, so whenever i click on default location thing form settings it still closes

[latent meadow]

that is not the default location.. does it do the same in the default location setting? .. let me make sure i am not mis-recalling something

@sacred imp

i am on linux, so slight differences

[sacred imp]

I am not able to change location from there too, so whenever i try to click on it to change lcoation it closes

[latent meadow]

oof. ok. i do not usually suggest this, but run hub as administrator

[sacred imp]

tried that, nothing happend

[latent meadow]

then you have much deeper system issues, i'd say. run sfc /scannow and the dism cleanup (you can find instructions online). also, what antivirus are you using?

[sacred imp]

did the scan it said no issues found and i am using windows only no 3rd party software

i am not even able to add my old projects into hub

[latent meadow]

did you also do the dism cleanup first? chkdsk (or whatever thay call it now) may be a good idea too. IDK, Windows is such baffling garbage at this point, it could be simply an AI written update they, MS, pushed that screwed it up

[sacred imp]

what's that

[latent meadow]

if you think it is truly only unity related, make sure you do a full cleanup of Hub. this means deleting 'hidden' folders too. again, instructions are online for both that cleanup, and how to run DISM cleanup

[sacred imp]

ok i will try

Because unity was runiing fine till monday

But started issues form tuesday

iirc correctly, MS patches on tuesdays

i have to run up to the store though, so logging off for now.

[flat breach]

hi, if I want to opt for a baked lighting, should I set everything to realtime till I'm fine with everything and then bake everything? or use baked immediately and rebake everytime? what do most of the people-pros do?

[worldly cave]

honestly it really depends, i bake it then if i change the scene drastically i bake again

if you have something like bakery its even faster

[exotic relic]

Baking can completely change the way the lighting looks. It will not simply replicate the realtime to a frozen state. But what I like to do is really set up the scene how I want, the choose which hierarchies should be static or affected by global illumination, then worry about lighting later. I often also clear baked data and work on the scene again. Be sure to add adaptive probe volumes and reflection probes

[flat breach]

is this an asset making everything faster?

[deft rock]

do lower quality bakes until you're ready to do the "final" bake - as it'll take longer and is pointless if you're still actively working on the scene

[worldly cave]

it makes baking marginally faster and fixes certain issues caused by unitys own lightmapper

[flat breach]

what I did in my older project but it's hard to see if you like it and you might bake something you don't like

[exotic relic]

Don’t worry too much about the lights because you can always add more baked lights to fake the way it reflects

[flat breach]

ohh okay, I'll do this then

[exotic relic]

For example in a dark room 1 light bulb can sometimes be made up of 3 baked lights

Hi, I updated to Unity 6000.3.6f1 and now the console writes things only if I move the cursor over Unity UI's buttons

is it normal? Is it a bug?

[plain dagger]

If this is UI then you need to use anchors or fill modes correctly for your background images
ask for more help in #📲┃ui-ux

[near wigeon]

You need to properly anchor things

Oh dc just updated didn't see it got replied to already

Not using anchors, a tale as old as unity

Hello! I am new here. I am thinking about learning to use unity. I come from RayLib (C++) and Ursina (Python) if you can even call those engines, lol. I would just like to know some more from people that actually use it. My main concerns are:

1. I never really used a engine with a editor and I am a bit scared that to let's say make a basic shape I would have to enter 10 menus and press 2 key combinations. (Unreal Engine refference lol)
2. The IDEs. Am I only limited to Visual Studio or can I let's say use VSCodium, Code - OSS, Nvim or Raider? Also isn't it annoying to change windows just to code?
   Aside of that I am kind of excited to learn how to use this engine. I would also like to know if anyone here had any issues on Linux with Nvidia graphics?

VS, VS code and rider are the main officially supported options. I suspect vs code forks work just fine too.
unity supports opengl and vulkan so dont worry about that but expect weird bugs because linux

the unity editor is well designed and easy to use so dont worry it takes like 2 clicks to spawn a default shape

I mean it's Pop!_os which is basically ubuntu so I am kind of hoping for usable experience lol...
