The only thing close to editor I used was Roblox Studio 🤣

I tried a bit of godot which had code editor built into the engine so I could just edit code in another tab. I am kind of dissapointed that Unity requires me to swap windows constantly especially that I have just 1 monitor but i'll see how it turns out.

[plain dagger]

Some things require the editor but you can also automate many things in editor and spawn/create/modify most things at runtime too

Unity used to include a shit code editor program. Lets leave that job to IDEs and not some cruddy thing in editor

[lapis escarp]

Yeah...

I mainly decided to try out Unity so I can make "homebrew" games for xbox. How's controllers support? Is it intuitive?

[plain dagger]

Unity has a legacy input manager and a newer better featured "input system" with very good controller support
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.18/manual/index.html

[lapis escarp]

Hm... I am gonna read that.

[plain dagger]

basically you define input actions and these can be assigned inputs from mouse/keyboard/gamepads/touch in many ways

direct device input reading is also supported if you so desire

[lapis escarp]

So I create 1 action and I can assign it to many keys right?
like...
Action main gets triggered by: LMB and LT and L2

[plain dagger]

Btw if you want to build for console you would need a paid license to even install support for the platform
https://unity.com/solutions/xbox

[lapis escarp]

HsbajaejehuHs sheet...

That sucks but I guess I can pay these 20€ or something to get dev mode...

WAIT WHAT-

Nevermind I don't want to make xbox games...

[tawny quail]

Unity Pro is already $2.3k per person + the cost of the xbox dev kit (no idea how much that is these days)

[plain dagger]

Yea that isnt really realistic with unreal/unity without considerable cost

[lapis escarp]

What do you mean 200€ monthly...

[plain dagger]

Blame sony/microsoft/nintendo i guess

pc rulez

[lapis escarp]

Yeah...

Common W for linux lol.

Another thing: How does exporting to diffrent platforms look like?

Is it really just a checkbox for Linux, Mac, Winbloats, etc?

[grizzled plover]

anyone want to help me wth my game #1468743582281371740

[gusty abyss]

Hello is there any staff on

[grizzled plover]

idk

[grizzled plover]

why

[plain dagger]

If using mono backend you should be able to export for all 3

[lapis escarp]

Sweet.

[gusty abyss]

Is there a channel or something to put a post about indie game devs on x

[plain dagger]

fyi unity games are well supported by proton so many just use that for steam games

I dont think unity builds against the steam common runtime on linux

[lapis escarp]

I want to make my games native on my own platform ya know.

[plain dagger]

fair but i just know that no distro can agree on how things work so shit breaky

local testing should be fine

[lapis escarp]

Oki doki.

Well, I am now deffinitively giving Unity a try tommorow when I get back home. Thanks.

[plain dagger]

plenty of people on here to help out

[grizzled plover]

can anyone help me with my game

trying to make it generate

um send me a friend request if ya are wanting to help!

[balmy kettle]

Rather than just reposting the same question with 0 info, consider providing actual info about what you need help with. Also don't expect to get private help, that defeats the entire purpose of a community server

[grizzled plover]

well

if you want me to tell what i need help with

well

i trying to make it generate when i touch the room

i just started working on it

today

[shut jacinth]

Use chat gpt instead!?

[grizzled plover]

and it generates a new room

[grizzled plover]

ok

[subtle owl]

Ok I guess?

[shut jacinth]

ChatGPT has Unity's interface mapped out in its mind!

[balmy kettle]

Lmao telling someone to use an LLM to figure out what they need to do is bad advice. What they really need to do is figure out precisely what they want to happen then research the individual steps that make up the want so they can then just do it

[ember plaza]

Hi

[grizzled plover]

Hi

[ember plaza]

I have no clue what this server about

[shut jacinth]

LOL

[ember plaza]

Wha-

[balmy kettle]

#🌱┃start-here

[ember plaza]

tbh it looks hard

how can I make a game with a laptop😭✌️

I’m just gonna ragequit 😭

Ima end up throwing my laptop across my room

[lapis escarp]

What kind of game? For very simple tiny games you don't need Unity or anything like that.

[ember plaza]

gtag copy

[lapis escarp]

Gorilla tag.

[ember plaza]

Or I will make a horror game

[lapis escarp]

Do you have any experience with coding?

[ember plaza]

no

I barley even know what unity is😭

[lapis escarp]

Do you have any experience with Unity?

[ember plaza]

no

I’m new to loads of stuff

[lapis escarp]

Don't expect to make a huge VR game with 0 experience...

No hate or anything.

[ember plaza]

oh

what should I make first then?

[lapis escarp]

Im just suggesting you to try something on a smaller scale? Like a simple 2d game. Ya know. Pong, Endless runner, Flappy bird.

[ember plaza]

Ye

[lapis escarp]

(Doesn't necessarily have to be in unity)

[shadow heron]

Been doing game dev on my laptop for 3+ years now no issues what so ever.

[lapis escarp]

You can try PyGame, RayLib, SDL2 or Ursina.

They are much simplier and teach you how engines work.

[ember plaza]

I rather just find a developer 😭✌️

[stuck flower]

How much money are you paying

[ember plaza]

none I’m broke 🥀

[stuck flower]

then you won't be finding people to make anything for you

[lapis escarp]

I don't want to be rude but refusing to learn anything is kind of lazy.

[ember plaza]

@stone haven is a dev for me

[stuck flower]

Game developers are not just sitting in their rooms ready to jump at the chance to spend hundreds of hours of their own life and skills to make a game for someone else while they just sit on their ass eating doritos

[ember plaza]

Ik but im trash at everything

When I try to do smth I get mad

bc I always mess up

[lapis escarp]

Have you tried anything related to game dev?

[ember plaza]

I tried to make a Roblox game

but I kinda Uhm

[lapis escarp]

Python, C#, JavaScript, blender models, libresprite? Anything?

[ember plaza]

broke my mouse

[lapis escarp]

Luau sucks.

[ember plaza]

no

Well

U tried blender but I gave up

It was too hard to use

[stuck flower]

If you don't want to learn how to do it, and you don't have anything to contribute to the development process, you won't be making a game

Simple as that.

[near wigeon]

Gtag pfp. Checks out

[stuck flower]

So either change your attitude or become independently wealthy

[ember plaza]

I’ll just probably give up on everything then

[slow dirge]

This is not the place to look for devs. Either use the unity forums or freelancer websites like upwork.

[stuck flower]

or give up

Realistically no one is gonna do the work for you . Maybe lil bro still young , one day you will grow and understand

[ember plaza]

I mean @stone haven made a gtag copy for me

[slow dirge]

Well then why not ask them for another game?

[lapis escarp]

If you didn't contribute to it in any way then it isn't your game.

No offense.

[stuck flower]

You mean they made a game

that you, I guess, put your name on despite doing absolutely nothing?

[ember plaza]

Even if I tried to make a game my laptop would probably crash

And I don’t have any money for a better one or a pc

[lapis escarp]

Bruh pygame.org is down. Cloudflare died.

[lapis escarp]

[oak meadow]

Is it a bad idea to change the cameras ppu to zoom out? then the ppu wont be the same as my assets

[near wigeon]

A 2d cam. Do you have pixel perfect? Should be np there

[oak meadow]

yeah its pixel perfect

[near wigeon]

Ya should be fine there

[ember plaza]

I give up on this sh- ima just break my laptop at this point

[stuck flower]

You should probably not be given unsupervised access to expensive equipment until you are old enough to handle it

[ember plaza]

It wasn’t expensive

it was for 100 pound

[lapis escarp]

Once again: specs

I need some context.

[ember plaza]

ima just leave the server

bye

[stuck flower]

It doesn't matter. They're clinging on to every possible excuse not to make a game

[lapis escarp]

Ya know what? I will try making a game on my 32 bit laptop with 1 gb ram just to piss you off.

[ember plaza]

Idgaf

[stuck flower]

Someone who really wants to make a game will find a way to make it work.

[lapis escarp]

I think this is what people his age consider "Tuff"

[stuck flower]

I've seen people coding in firefox on android directly in the github browser because their PCs broke

[lapis escarp]

True.

Man I remember copy pasting code from youtube tutorials just because I wanted to make a roblox game without coding.

Lol.

I kind of learned some small concepts of programming along the way.

K bye everyone.

gtg eep

[robust schooner]

@slow dirge Hey dude, I contacted Microsoft, they helped me a bit, but we ended on a low note as we couldn't fix it, but they said to contact them back to finish the case. However, it seems as though my problem is magically fixed. Any chance you can walk me through on making sure that the problem, is indeed, fixed? Really not sure if i'm getting hyped up for nothing.

[slow dirge]

Was it about vs code intellisense?

[robust schooner]

Yes, indeed

[robust schooner]

You can see here, the keywords native to Unity are in green, not blue anymore!

And when I press Go to Definition it actually does so!

I think it might be fixed!

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called !!.

[robust schooner]

100% working, i'm hyped!

Thanks again for you resilient help @slow dirge

[storm patio]

(those are identifiers, specifically namespaces and types, not keywords)

[robust schooner]

Thanks, never new the word lol

[swift rain]

im still trying to fix this error @worldly cave

[storm patio]

have you tried checking logs yet

[vital carbon]

Has anyone ever faced issues with black render textures on a Web GL build when they work fine in editor?

[onyx shale]

ello

[frail umbra]

Def finshed the essentials in its entirety. and have the course completion thingy. Any reason why these are saying 16% and 27% and 87%? and 33% complete?

[violet thunder]

Are you using a rendertexture format that is compatible with WebGL?

[vital carbon]

Figured it out my base map and emission map needed to both be white

Thanks though

[pure igloo]

did you pay for it?

i used to get the shit beaten out of me whenever i used to destroy something in the house because i was not the one paying for it

[lapis escarp]

O! I didn't know unity has these types of courses! That's cool.

[lapis escarp]

Same! If I broke something they would just take away all my stuff for 2 months.

[pure igloo]

good old days

[lapis escarp]

I remember reading them Diary of a Wimpy kid while having all pieces of my tech taken away from me. 🤣

[pure igloo]

I used to read it too!!

[lapis escarp]

I got all the books so far + the cheesy edition of the first book in english.

Anyway-

I saw someone's piece of code here and aside from the comments that syntax looks surprisingly sane. I like it.

I can't wait to get back home and install unity rahhhhhh...

Comparing that to some... other... libraries it's readable.

[pure igloo]

same here!

[lapis escarp]

SDL2DoThisByThatThingsWithDeviceSomethinWidth = 1920

🤣

[nova brook]

is that solved or not

[lapis escarp]

These are like interactive, right?

[nova brook]

i completed unity essential and right now i am also on Junior programmer 😅

[swift rain]

No

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub\Cache Go to this path and delete both folder in it

its UnityHub cache

Don't y'all windows users find it annoying to use backslash instead of normal slash for paths?

[nova brook]

its normal

[lapis escarp]

Yeah sure, lol.

MacOS and Linux and BSD therefore superior platforms use /. >:-)

[ancient moat]

Hello guys

Can someone recommend resources to learn Unity

[charred fog]

!learn Pathways courses.

[ancient moat]

Me and my friend Indi want to make games in Unity but we're both complete beginners, I have 6 months of experience with Unreal Engine and so I don't think it'd be that hard for me to learn but Indi is a complete beginner :P

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[ancient moat]

Let me check it

[lapis escarp]

Do I need Unity Pro to export to platforms such as VR/XR or only for consoles like Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo?

[sly lake]

Only for consoles.

Don't go buying Unity Pro just to publish on consoles, by the way. Instead, get in touch with the platform holder and see what options they offer.

[lapis escarp]

I mainly want to distribute for Linux, Mac and Android.

And maybe IOS.

Any options to create for Xbox 360?

Or any older consoles like Wii or WiiU or maybe PSP.

[sly lake]

No.

[copper gust]

Nothing older than current gen

[sly lake]

Last-gen

[lapis escarp]

Not even on older Unity?

[copper gust]

you need stuff people are no longer offering

[sly lake]

Yeah I- Nintendo ninjas abduct Wolfos

[lapis escarp]

Not even from archive.org?

[copper gust]

Though psp and wii unity stuff never existed i don’t think

[lapis escarp]

Aw...

[copper gust]

It’s not public

Well

[lapis escarp]

Rawr...

[copper gust]

mostly

Its non viable

[lapis escarp]

Explain XeXUnshackle.

[copper gust]

dunno ask them

[sly lake]

People who’ve worked with these platforms are under NDA and can’t really give specifics

However, I can broadly state that older consoles no longer allow new releases

[copper gust]

There are some illegal methods to doing some of what your asking in certain extents that requires pretty advanced development knowledge, we can’t elaborate on any of that here nor is anyone here likely familiar

It’s not really a productive path to go down if you intend for people to play your stuff regardless

[sly lake]

Yep. Narrow your target audience. Focus on that. Worry about ports later

Doing multiplatform releases at the same time sucks for solo dev

[radiant pewter]

is there a reason you don't need to add/remove listeners in code for inspector-assigned events?

[sly lake]

Engine does that for you

[radiant pewter]

but doesn't do it for the code-only ones?

[sly lake]

Nope

[lapis escarp]

Rawr. No gamez... No hombrew...

:-(

[copper gust]

🆗

[lapis escarp]

Well, that SUCKS. Also, can I export to 32bit platforms and/or ARM64?

[sly lake]

ARM64 builds supported on various platforms, yes

Still annoys me how, even months before they release an ARM-powered device, Steam still doesn't allow uploading ARM builds for Windows games.

[warm egret]

Hi, I have a problem but i cannot solve it, and i dont even know what's the problem about, could I get some really quick help?

[sly lake]

To peel a banana easily, hold it upside down and pinch the tip with your fingers to create an opening, then peel back the skin section by section.

Does that solve your problem?

[warm egret]

Nope

[sly lake]

Might want to explain it in more detail then 🙂

[warm egret]

6.3.5f2, no button works, no UI, it's neither the event system nor the canvas, nothing above any other component, just, nothing works in any project

I want to cry

[nova brook]

Same I am also learning...and Unity learn is one the best way to learn also the courses are interactive
And you already have experience with unreal unity is easy game for you

[ancient moat]

I know Unity will be easy for me, I'm just worried for Indi since you can say he has a "low attention span"

I'm gonna follow Unity Learn with him, but also, he sent me a link to a Unity course by "Brackeys" which is a name I've heard before

[sly lake]

I wouldn't recommend Brackeys' Unity course anymore. It's too old.

[warm egret]

well it's not exactly the input, it's only the canvas stuff, but even with a default scene, nothing works

[nova brook]

After learning unity essential a short introduction to programming audio and 3D 2D navigation it becomes easier for him
At first place I also think that unity is rocket science but it's Soo easy

[ancient moat]

Oh, I see.

[nova brook]

I don't recommend any video course except if you want brief introduction about a specific tool or workflow
Bcz docs are good to go

[sly lake]

I always recommend watching this first thing;
https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5C6QC36h5eApOyXtx98ehGi

[nova brook]

I just learn one thing from videos
Watch tutorial with focus and then fall asleep

[lapis escarp]

I am talking about RasberryPI and legacy 32 bit devices.

[sly lake]

Unity does not support Raspberry Pi

Just focus on making good games instead of supporting things nobody plays games on lol

[lapis escarp]

I don't want to, I preffer to make silly games for silly platforms...

I treat games more as a hobby project.

[sly lake]

Well, Unity isn't for that

[lapis escarp]

More like "Yeah, I can compile that for Atari Jaguar"

No but I will make some decent games I hope, it's just sad to be limited by some stuff.

[nova brook]

Use Scratch

[lapis escarp]

Most of the things I make are lightweigh arcade games clones.

[lapis escarp]

Cmon, I am a normie but not that normie...

[nova brook]

All build platforms are okay why Raspberry Pi

[lapis escarp]

I don't like code blocks at all.

I hated Scratch in primary school.

[warm egret]

well that's the last time I'm using this engine

[lapis escarp]

I feel like I would more easily learn x86 Assembly rather than getting good at Scratch.

[copper gust]

PICO-8 is sick for this

[nova brook]

I think you need to reinstall the editor or change a minor version

[sly lake]

Sane decision IMO. Quality is pretty toasty lately.

[lapis escarp]

RPI Pico? The mini board?

[copper gust]

no

https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

[lapis escarp]

Hm... Interesting.

[lapis escarp]

What is the programming language used by this?

[copper gust]

Lua

[lapis escarp]

Ew... No then.

[copper gust]

Fair lol

[lapis escarp]

I hate lua and python.

I only use them for tiny programs.

[sly lake]

Yeah that was the part that didn't really jive with me either heh

[nova brook]

Same not python but lua is

[lapis escarp]

I want to code in C or some BASIC dialect.

[copper gust]

I’m just waiting for godot to mature more personally

Unity iffy as fuck but it sure is comfy

[sly lake]

I started writing my own engine

[lapis escarp]

OpenGL?

[sly lake]

No, DX12 + Metal

[copper gust]

Respectable but i’d mostly rather die 😛

[lapis escarp]

Rawr... No linuk support...

[sly lake]

Will be arranged

[lapis escarp]

With DirectX?

[sly lake]

DXVK is pretty good

Yeah

[copper gust]

I just wanna make vidya games and maybe some assets/plugins so hard to not go with unity

[nova brook]

Game Engine takes year but your engine your control

[sly lake]

Currently rendering the Lumberyard Bistro scene at 120FPS but it's still missing a lot.

(Not my render)

[lapis escarp]

I found some cool mini engine on steam, it uses BASIC and has all the needed tools included. You can even export the games to GameBoy.

[copper gust]

Thats neat

[lapis escarp]

Hol on ima send link.

[copper gust]

my ambitions are a lil bigger than that tho aha

[sly lake]

We had to use some BASIC dialect back in college. That was fun.

[nova brook]

Is that your game engine

[sly lake]

No

Here's where I'm at

[nova brook]

Are you making engine in C#

[sly lake]

The above is what it's supposed to look like

Yep

[ancient moat]

I'm bakc

My phone died

[lapis escarp]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2308700/GB_BASIC/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/767240/BASIC8/

[sly lake]

Sure, it's much faster than Unity but it's also not rendering shadows so I wouldn't compare 😏

[lapis escarp]

That's pretty neat.

[nova brook]

Yeah building tools takes year

[copper gust]

This is my current project which looks basic but certainly needs a proper engine lol

[nova brook]

Is that assembly engine lol

[tribal aurora]

If the sole purpose of AI was to automate game localization, the number of hours saved would be incalculable. I am living that hell right now.

[naive cloud]

how to actually add light that works in unity?

Whenever I add light, it does nothing, and everything has almost equal light everywhere

I want as an example make an indoor area that is not hit by the sun, and has light based on torches

[sly lake]

Are you in lit mode? Using lit shaders?

[naive cloud]

I don't know tbh

ill check that

it's like that ingame too though

(not only in the inspector)

i disabled/enabled it now (the lightbulb) and a point light i've added doesnt really change anything

[sly lake]

Point light won't do much if it's lit by the sun

[naive cloud]

wait I just got it to work

maybe it doesnt show on the inspector

that's weird

eitherway thanks

[reef dome]

If you want localization that is pretty good and doesnt rely on AI trying to interpret stuff I can recommend the free plan of DeepL: https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021200939-DeepL-API-plans

We have been using it and apart from very edge cases it works like a charm

[tribal aurora]

The problem with not doing most of it manually is how common it is that words have multiple meanings. Even a professional translator won't know how to translate "mine" without context.

[reef dome]

Yeah in our production apps we give the translators a version that is switching the loca texts between loca key and loca value on button press and also highlight texts in red that have no translation yet

but thats a pretty custom setup 😄

[tribal aurora]

And even if evert word was translated perfectly for me, I still have to go into the text of evert button and associate it with a localization file. My game has MANY buttons.

[reef dome]

Yeah well thats why you create a base prefab for buttons and just attach a loca script on there... hard to do after the fact 😄

[tribal aurora]

The key rebinding section is going to be a nightmare

[reef dome]

introducing loca in an already done app is always a pain

[tribal aurora]

Did I mention this is essentially my first game? A passion project I have been working on for years.

[reef dome]

Yeah I 100% understand

Its always easy to say "why didnt I do it like this" after the fact, but nobody tells you, that you will even encounter that problem when you start

[tribal aurora]

I'm kind of surprised string localization isn't an automatic thing you would have to shut off if you didn't want it to do that.

[reef dome]

Well a lot of things could be on by default in unity (looking at you cinemachine) but at some point they have to decide what is bloat and what is usefull for the avg user

[tribal aurora]

Yeah, not a job i would want.

[sly lake]

I don't think Unity had a localization system until recently

In fact I only found out it had one when I'd already built one 😅

[reef dome]

Yeah I was surprised to see a loca package just about 2 weeks ago

[safe hamlet]

Hi, I'm looking for someone to do a 1-person shooter with, I'm a beginner, but I don't have the stamina to write code alone, I really need an ally of the same level as me, I have a team not related to the code, but which can make assets, there is a game design and ent to the game, there is even a plan for the implementation of the plan. But there is no money.

I need you, let's study together, and what happens in the end and when we release the game will be divided equally.

[sly lake]

Yeah, 1.0 in 2019.4. Definitely too late to be a core engine workflow.

[reef dome]

They should really start breaking things with major versions, they are so scared to break upgradability that it hinders progress in some places

[sly lake]

I think requiring UI text to be localized by default makes a lot of sense. Maybe a string textOverride for quick prototyping

[reef dome]

updating objects to entityId is the most careful introduction of a breaking change I have ever seen in any software 😄 but with a feature that deep ingrained i can understand

[tribal aurora]

When I first started out, updating my editor was a thing of nightmares.

[sly lake]

They definitely used to break more

[reef dome]

Yeah it still is a bit of a pain and for some versions it was worse, 2019 to 2020 was a pain, 2022 to 6000 was smooth

[sly lake]

I'm still on the fence about going 6.3 eventually

I hear the shader variant prewarm thing got much better

[reef dome]

We are on 6.3 in a production app with 50k monthly active (mobile) and it works fine, even solved some crashes for us

[sly lake]

It's a lot of effort for me

[tribal aurora]

I just did that today, on this game (from 6.0). The only issue I had was my own fault... tried to connect my player client to my headless server without rebuilding the server with the new version. It didn't go well.

[sly lake]

And it's currently not crashing on the latest Nvidia and AMD drivers, would like to keep it that way 🙂

[reef dome]

Yeah no idea about desktop here 😄

[sly lake]

It's a fairly late stage project

[tribal aurora]

I don't sweat it much anymore. I just do a full project backup (which I do pretty much any time I work on it for more than 2 hours), then if the update goes bad, i just scrap it and continue from the backup.

[reef dome]

Currently working on 6.3 at my job for mobile
And a private project with a buddy on 6.3 for desktop but that way too early stage, we didnt even come to the stage where you would make test builds so when we are even close to release 6.3 will be 100% stable i guess

[tribal aurora]

Project file is up to 35GB though, so it is starting to get annoying.

[reef dome]

Let me introduce you to local git repositories 😄

you dont need to use github or another provider to take advantage of versioning, locally is totally fine

[sterile dew]

Is anyone else unable to open a project rn ?

[sly lake]

Yeah, I have version control of course. It's still a risky move. Lots of custom graphics work, third party assets that tend to be fragile, etc.

[tribal aurora]

Yeah, thought about it. Haven't been motivated to learn how to use Git.

[sterile dew]

I'm trying to just open a project from unity hub and the editor isn't loading

[reef dome]

get a git interface, git kraken was pretty good I think
It will save you LOTS of time to learn that once instead of doing 35gb backups

[sly lake]

I'm still using HDRP 16 or something

So need to merge my changes into the new version

[tribal aurora]

Need more info... New editor version? Old project folder?

[sly lake]

Or update it to work with Unity 6.3. Might be easier.

[tribal aurora]

Wait, you don't have two 4Tb m.2 drives in RAID 1 that are half full of project folder backups? lol

[sly lake]

I've seen .git folders get that big 😅

[sterile dew]

Been working on it for the last few days in unity 2019.4

[reef dome]

No just 1TB of project folders of the same hobby project started in 15 different ways

[sly lake]

That's when you move to Perforce

Once the repo starts exceeding the size of commonly available SSD's you don't have much of a choice

[reef dome]

if your project exceeds 2TB you dont have a storage problem you have a WHY problem

[sly lake]

Nah, git stores the entire history

[reef dome]

yeah you can easily prune a history of large files you won't need anymore

[sly lake]

So if you have enough large asset updates it starts approaching 2TB

[reef dome]

also it stores deltas for most things

[sterile dew]

Ok nvmd

I just signed out and signed in again and it worked

Probably just a license issue or something

[tribal aurora]

I have the opposite problem with hobby projects. Variety! I have done PC, Android (GPS, sensors, AR), xSplit Broadcaster integration, YouTube live chat integration, Google Maps... All in Unity.

[open peak]

Hello guys, can you help me with a bug or what is it? I just created a terrain in empty project, used a brush and after Ctrl + Z brush won’t let me touch that area anymore, I don't understand what to do :/

[lapis escarp]

Ctrl + Y 😅

[tribal aurora]

Jesus, I just noticed it's 7am here. I have to get to bed so I can drag my ass through another 8 hours of localization tomorrow.

*today 🙁

[reef dome]

Yeah my problem is that I love learning a lot more than finishing projects, so I try new frameworks and code patterns 😄

Stuff I worked on just the last 2 months:

• Picking out an IoC container: Zenject, VContainer, Reflex
• Updating my UniRx knowledge to R3
• Updating my DoTween knowledge to PrimeTween
• Trying networking libraries (Unity NGO, Riptide)
• Getting back into ECS/Dots

So yeah, experimenting a lot, but that involves starting in 15 different ways xD

[sly lake]

I just do shit wrong instead

Have you tried it? It's good

[lapis escarp]

That's one of the thing I will be scared about when using Unity. Random things like that will happen...

[reef dome]

Oh I learn first and then do shit wrong anyways 😎

[open peak]

but it's a base... how to create with it

[lapis escarp]

I like to write a program with youtube tutorial and then rewrite it worser.

[tender thicket]

And then you fix it wrong 😎

[tribal aurora]

I'll be honest, I know almost nothing about the things you just listed.

[reef dome]

Mostly advanced things or related to a certain programming pattern, no harm in not knowing them

Though primetween is a thing that I can recommend to atleast take a look at

[lapis escarp]

Ye I know uh Java Script is called JavaScript in C++ 😋

[nova brook]

No JS is called javascript

[lapis escarp]

/j btw

[tribal aurora]

My favorite is to question the reasoning that someone way more talented than I gave in their tutorial for their system, just to agree with them a few months later and have to rewrite everything to how they suggested in the first place.

[reef dome]

Experience vs studied knowledge
Also called the reason nobody is hiring junior devs atm

[sly lake]

Yeah, I just speedrun experience. If the first version is going to be bad, better make it quick.

[lapis escarp]

I never finish my projects 100% but atleast I am superior to 3rd party thinkers. (AI coders)

[near wigeon]

"Thinkers"

[tribal aurora]

My first ignorant move was ignoring any type of naming convention because well, "I have a good memory". Now it's the first thing I recommend to beginners. lol

[lapis escarp]

3rd party thinkers. They use external tools for their thinking.

[reef dome]

You are implying there would be any kind of thinking involved, spoiler, there isnt

[tribal aurora]

AI is still a limit, not a flex. For another year or so anyway.

[lapis escarp]

I still sometimes write likeThat and sometimes LikeThat and sometimes just x y z depending on the moon's position.

[sly lake]

I just do what Rider says (re: name conventions)

[lapis escarp]

Cmon... they can write prompts... Hou kruel... 'Writing prompts is harder than coding manually' 🤣

[reef dome]

Well ok, sometimes copilot knows what I want to do before I do, that creeps me out sometimes but its a smart autocompletion at best 99% of the time 😄

[tribal aurora]

I picture a lunar calendar in your code comments. 🤣

[nova brook]

You use Jetbrains Rider

[tight solstice]

does unity 6.4 beta have ai?

[lapis escarp]

I wrote print statement "welcome to Ninecraft installer" and it automatically wrote a whole program that installed ninecraft projects as a suggestion-

[reef dome]

6.3 have it

[sly lake]

Yep, it's great

[tight solstice]

where is it located? i cant happen to find it

[reef dome]

Yeah now that rider is free for hobby devs I can only recommend it, before the pricepoint was to high of an entry
If you are used to VS keymap you can just apply that fully to rider

[lapis escarp]

JetBrains is good for big stuff. For my everyday tasks I choose neovim.

[nova brook]

I use Visual Studio but I also have Rider installed

[lapis escarp]

Refference image for Windows users:

[near wigeon]

There is only so many ways that certain code can be completed cause its predictable lol

[lapis escarp]

I don't excatly like Visual Studio...

[sly lake]

You're not allowed to use Vim until your beard reaches your knees

Look it up, it's in the terms of service

[lapis escarp]

My socks reach my thighs, does that count?

[nova brook]

Vs code is just perfect

[lapis escarp]

Nah, Code - OSS is my go to for web dev.

Best VSC fork.

[near wigeon]

Probably a package you have to enable or something , why would you even want that

[tight solstice]

cus i cant code for sht 🤣

[nova brook]

i dont want to try these things in my life Arch linux , Vim , G0dot , Opera browser

[reef dome]

the texture and animation generators are not too bad, aslong as they are free

[near wigeon]

Just learn it. There is no shortcut to making anything good

AI is a fad

[lapis escarp]

Neovim is actually really decent.

[tight solstice]

ai the future gang

[lapis escarp]

Have y'all seen LazyNvim?

[near wigeon]

When I tried them they were pretty lackluster tbh lol

[reef dome]

*for prototyping

[lapis escarp]

Lazy Nvim is actually decent.

Almost like a tiny IDE.

[reef dome]

at that point just get an IDE

[lapis escarp]

Nope! >:-)

[ocean pumice]

Those fonts being used, holy

Handwriting coding, why not use a pen 😄

[lapis escarp]

Nvim is my go-to for C++, Python and C# for a while now.

Also I don't have to leave the deep abyss of my terminal to write code.

[harsh solar]

My bad for interrupting,
How long did it take you guys to actually lock in? Did you guys ever go through a phase when you went from project to project every few months? Like I start something like a mobile app, unity game, website, etc.. then id feel about 80% done (it feels like) and I realize how much polish I need to put into it and just put it off for "another time" I know im not building anything useful but ive been refining my skills in different languages and frameworks just to find my niche I guess, I understand how LLMS work and I realize they're tools and arent a replacement for actual developers, just a tool, but I feel like it raised the bar quite abit. Ive been practicing coding before AI was actually popular and ruining schooling and economy etc.

[copper gust]

Ai hasn’t raised the bar, unfortunately its lowered it quite abit

[reef dome]

Did you guys ever go through a phase when you went from project to project every few months
Phase? That never stops.
Every few month? More like every few weeks 😄

[copper gust]

Just gotta make smaller projects and really push yourself

[harsh solar]

Honestly I feel like its raised the bar for people that dont vibe code or really use ai. I use it sometimes obviously but ive been trying to actually learn

[last basin]

like sidia said this never stops lol

[lapis escarp]

Same.

[last basin]

i try to make the game feel good so that i want to work on it more

if i put the feel of the game for later then im not gonna work on it much

so maybe find something you wanna do first in every game to keep you motivated

[harsh solar]

Wait am I allowed to show some pics of my most recent project here or is that another channel, it has no game name or anything

[reef dome]

No they don't raise the bar, AI is not outputting quality anywhere near what a semi skilled human can produce

they are fast but sloppy and you hear daily about apps that come down because the AI has no concept of cypersecurity or anything related to that

[harsh solar]

And they need people to train the AIs aswell i guess too right? Like it sends a prompt and you answer it and someone reviews it etc

[reef dome]

I can't fathom how many people installed Clawdbot and just gave them access to their credit card

and then researchers code reviewed that thing and it contained hard coded api keys and stuff

[harsh solar]

Lemme expand on that, I know training is on the internet, but I realize some companies hire people to write code snippets to modify training data to be better

[near wigeon]

#1180170818983051344

[lapis escarp]

Wait, AI folks get jobs with AI?

How low did we fall as human race?

[reef dome]

You got that wrong, the people able to write AI are getting jobs

not the ones using it

[lapis escarp]

Ah, oki.

Cuz I see more and more posts on r/vibecoding and offers to buy vibe coded ass stuff from some freelancing sites.

Which is obviously stupid to me.

[near grove]

I have a very simple and possibly silly question, uh... Idk if this is the right place to ask. Is there a native ability in unity to restrict rotations of an object or do I have to make a script for it? I just want to apply some restraints to make animations a bit less jank.

[reef dome]

rigidbody objects?

[near grove]

not yet

[reef dome]

or just normal objects you move via code?

[near grove]

just objects, specifically animation handles actually

[reef dome]

is your own code moving those objects?

[near grove]

it should be an animation clip

I mean it's only a few lines of code but just wondering if unity had a native way to do it so I don't waste time

[reef dome]

you can edit the animation clip in unity or reset the position every frame but that might mess with the animation

for rigidbodies that are moved through physics, yes there is a way, for animationclips there isnt a checkbox or something

[near grove]

I think I'll just make a script which is like 'maximum rotations, if > 180 rotate towards < 180 or smth

it's just to make my life easier down the line with animations is all

anyway thanks.

[harsh solar]

My favorite thing i coded in unity so far was working with chasing AIs, that or coding an office chair that you could push around 😀 it like rotates and the wheels move 🙃

[nova brook]

Whole chat is about Ai

[shadow bay]

Anyone know if unity has any plans to improve the client startup time or code recompile time?
I have seen some assets regarding the code recompiling though, but I'm just wondering...

[nova brook]

What do you mean by plan or you talking about pro or enterprise version

[shadow bay]

like their roadmap, although I don't see anything on it.

plans, like intentions

[nova brook]

Maybe you can read documentation

[sly lake]

Plans to move to CoreCLR were announced back in 2022

So yes, it will happen. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

[vivid cedar]

the CoreCLR stuff is that

[nova brook]

Oh they said the implement that stuff in 6.7

[vivid cedar]

yes

[sly lake]

That's when the first test version comes out, yes

[nova brook]

After GTA 6 maybe

[sly lake]

There's no timeline for it being production-ready

[nova brook]

Yeah For Stable release we need to wait a lot maybe GTA 7

[shadow bay]

That's still good in my books. It's not only on the radar but actively being worked

just hope things go smoothly lol

[sly lake]

They won't 🙂

[shadow bay]

Yeah... 😅

but I still acknowledge and value the intention

[nova brook]

Even though windows 11 is trash but compilation is much faster

In Unity

[shadow bay]

Any faster on linux i wonder

well it probably would be, but i wonder by how much

[nova brook]

If you see the unity requirement page for windows it's 4/8gb and for Linux they mentioned 16gb

[nova brook]

Unity is optimized for windows but on Linux it's actually faster
Like fedora KDE

[shadow bay]

Yeah I'd believe it. I've had many things compile faster on Linux. It's just way faster with file interactions

which adds up a ton

oddly I never thought to see if Unity even worked with linux before now 😅
might have to setup a dual boot again at home

[nova brook]

Linux is best for programming tasks but for game dev workflow it isn't suitable

[shadow bay]

oh... is it for the other tooling?

like art related stuff

[nova brook]

No Linux is perfect just for programming tasks but for game dev needs like Unity works better on Windows and also most of the other softs used for game dev

[tranquil coral]

quick performance question,is raycast faster than collision? i want to add a way for my enemies to see players and other enemies and have a more "realistic" line of sight and its kinda hard to do with collision so i wanted to do it with the physics raycaster component

[sly lake]

Don't worry about it

Just use what you need. Raycast is fast.

The only thing that is meaningfully slow, and worth optimizing, is meshcollider

Even convex

[tranquil coral]

good to know,tnx

[storm patio]

the physics raycaster is for clicking things afaik. you would just make physics queries via Physics.Raycast or Physics2D.Raycast

[tranquil coral]

oh and about trees,my scene has a lot of them and ive been using a tool i found some time ago to add nav mesh obstacles but the AI sometimes still bumps on them and starts sliding instead of following the path,i kinda fixed it by making the obstacles bigger but i feel that there is a better way

I've been hoping they'd fix terrain up since 2010

I wouldn't say it's just as bad as it was then, but it hasn't come very far.

Is there a good way to verfiy that a NavMeshLink is working as it should? I am running into problems with dynamically baked nav meshed and sometimes not working links.

[maiden oriole]

Hey,
I'm working on something for myself and looking for animations related to the black powder era e.g. musket aiming, locomotive with a musket and reloading... Any assets ppl know about that can be purchased? Not an animator myself so would greatly appreciate it.

[potent geyser]

Your best bet is to look on the Unity Asset store.

[broken rover]

Guys, generally for a FOSS game, is it more recommended to use the MIT or the GNU GPL v3 license?

I'm leaning more towards the latter but I'm not sure what's standard

[storm patio]

there's no standard really, you can use either

try reading through what they specify (or check out some comparisons by OSS initiative or similar) and see which one fits your intents better

[flat breach]

hi, how to make my player be able to slide a GameObject and position it in the actual world?

[stuck flower]

Get the position you want it to appear and spawn in a prefab at that position

[broken rover]

I lean more towards GNU GPL to avoid tacky proprietary derivatives with barely any credit but I also feel a bit icky about forcing people to open source projects that might use our code snippets

MPL sounds appealing too but I'm less informed with that legal stuff

[grand shuttle]

Hey, I just saw your message! I'm working with Fish-Net quite a lot – do you still need help with it?

[prisma nimbus]

Hello! I'm reading https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/hierarchy-reference.html where it says, "To open the Overrides dropdown directly from the Hierarchy window, select the override indicator. The override indicator appears as a blue line in the left side of the margin..."
I see the line, but selecting it does nothing. Right-clicking brings up the normal list of options for GameObjects in the Hierarchy. (Also, it's a tiny line that's difficult to select. :P)
Am I doing something wrong?

[flat breach]

this is easy to do, but I meant getting the position, because I want the object to spawn on the ground but the ground isn't at the same height everywhere

[stuck flower]

How is it that you want the player to select where the object should be?

[flat breach]

I just want him to press a keycode and then the object should instantiate like 2 unit forward on the ground

[stuck flower]

So get the position 2 units forward and raycast towards the ground, then spawn it at the place the ray hits

[flat breach]

okay , thank you

[flat breach]

wouldn't spawn it at the rayhit position just put the prefab center here?

[stuck flower]

Objects spawn at their origin point. If the origin point is at the center that's where it'll be

[flat breach]

ohh yea right, I'll just parent an empty gameobject to it and put it at the bottom

[maiden oriole]

been looking cant find anything maybe my searching is wrong will keep looking

[storm patio]

why not have the pivots be at the bottom of the objects

[potent geyser]

There is more likely a reality that what you're looking for isn't something that is available.

[storm patio]

that seems easier to standardize/conventionalize throughout your project

[potent geyser]

The time it takes to make animations and the market for it probably doesn't align.

[worldly cave]

look on fab as well

[flat breach]

can I move it in unity?

[storm patio]

you can't move gameobject pivots, you move other stuff relative to the pivot

eg offsetting colliders, setting pivots for sprites

the pivot/origin is where the object actually is

[flat breach]

yes, in my case the prefab's pivot is in the center, but I can't put it at the bottom right? I need another gameobject for this

[storm patio]

everything else in the prefab is centered on the pivot, not the other way around

you're being very vague here. is this a prefab with a mesh or what

[flat breach]

the prefab only contains a mesh and a mesh collider

and its pivot is centered

[storm patio]

it being an fbx?

[flat breach]

yes

[storm patio]

that would explain it

you can move the pivot in eg blender i think, for an in-engine solution you would have the meshrenderer be a child of the actual prefab and have that child be offset such that the mesh is above the pivot

[flat breach]

yeaa I'll do this, thank you.

[fossil smelt]

How do I fix these compiler errors?

Does anyone know?

[stuck flower]

There's nothing called Cosmetics in Photon.VR.

[floral spruce]

Hi

[nova brook]

For Learning it is super cool it far more better than any video tutorial

[floral spruce]

Am new but i wanna be a vfx artist like particles etc yk but should i spend money for textures?? I'll draw them but when i get better cuz am so bad at drawing

Like anyone knows some for free

[nova brook]

If you want to be vfx artist so why you purchasing ...learn them bcz you want to be a vfx artist

[floral spruce]

I mean textures

Just as a start

[nova brook]

Yeah then it is ok

[storm patio]

i mean you can always get free ones

[zealous plume]

Hey everyone, I’m relatively new to Unity and I'm starting to practice by trying out the flappy bird tutorial running and I ran into a UI issue. I have TextMeshPro objects on a Canvas that display correctly in the Scene view, but they don’t appear in the Game view or camera preview. The Canvas is in Screen Space – Overlay. I’ve double-checked that the objects are active and the Canvas Scaler is set. Any idea why the text isn’t showing in the Game view?

[nova brook]

try free resources

[floral spruce]

I mean any sources?

Like where I search

[serene nexus]

Thats fair, idk im new to all this, i did a tutorial on how to get the new input system to work but i think theres something lingering in my project i just cant find

[storm patio]

select the canvas and press F

or double click the canvas in the hierarchy

[floral spruce]

Guys ik i mean webs

[storm patio]

google will give you a list

[floral spruce]

Like unity free source?

[zealous plume]

here you go

[storm patio]

there's your answer

[nova brook]

Go to assets store and filter Result for free

[floral spruce]

Oh ok thx I'll try

[zealous plume]

do i increase the size of the sprites?

[storm patio]

there's your answer. that's where the canvas is, notice how it's the same shape as the view port
screenspace canvases use screenspace units, not world units. your textboxes will be rendering very small at the bottom left of the screen

[storm patio]

they'd be outside the viewport then

they're already the proper size

it's the canvas elements that are positioned wrong

[zealous plume]

ohhh ok I think I get it

[floral spruce]

I scrolled for a while and i couldn't see except pre made vfx

I just wanna textures

I searched and nothing comes out

[craggy pollen]

https://itch.io/game-assets/tag-particle

you need to include particles in your seaches

particle sprites gives a ton of results

[floral spruce]

Yea but i find nothing all are just like selling vfx

[floral spruce]

Is there's any plugin for unity or there's not

[runic swift]

anyone know why my camera is so small?

When I put my sprite inside it acts like the screen as shown below

[stuck flower]

Is it small or are you far away

[runic swift]

idkk

but when I add some text

its huge

idk why and when I size down the text to fit in the box it does not show

[stuck flower]

How big is the canvas?

[runic swift]

1,1,1

[stuck flower]

On screen

How big is the canvas

The canvas is your screen. UI elements are positioned on the canvas and that's where they end up on screen

[runic swift]

huge

[stuck flower]

So, you'd see your text in the bottom left corner of your screen in play mode

[storm patio]

it's in screenspace units, not worldspace units

[storm patio]

@runic swift just explained it to a previous question lol

[storm patio]

(that's the scale btw, not the size)

[runic swift]

wait so then why does my image need to go into a diffrent box?

[stuck flower]

Is your Image a UI object on a canvas?

[runic swift]

idk I js dragged and dropped

icl im new to this

[stuck flower]

I had to go dig through my past posts to find this visual example but here's how things on a canvas should be thought about:

The canvas is your screen

UI elements positioned on the canvas will be on the corresponding spots on the screen

If it's not a UI object, it'll be on screen when the camera can see it

[runic swift]

so this is my screen?

[pearl oyster]

For UI elements only, yes

[runic swift]

okay well im making a 2d game so everything will be ui'

[pearl oyster]

They shouldn't be

[runic swift]

wym

[pearl oyster]

Only UI elements should be UI regardless of the game type

[runic swift]

yeah but its a 2d game so everything is a ui

[pearl oyster]

Everything is not an UI in 2d games

[marble fiber]

Google sprite

[pearl oyster]

The cat sprite is not UI

[runic swift]

but its in the canvas

[pearl oyster]

Well yes, because you put it there. Don't put it there

[runic swift]

so where do i put it?

[pearl oyster]

Outside the canvas as a normal sprite, like you already had it before

[runic swift]

but then it does not show up

[pearl oyster]

Looks like it showed up just fine here

[runic swift]

thats in the canvas

[pearl oyster]

No it's not

[runic swift]

not anymore

but now I cant see it

[pearl oyster]

Put it where the camera is like you already had it here

[runic swift]

But why is that in the camera but the canvas/ui usn't?

[charred fog]

Canvas Overlay is a representation of the UI overlay projected on the camera, it scales with resolution and has relative units to that. It's only relevant to UI.
Everything else goes into world space, which has consistent dimensions, where you move your sprites etc.

[runic swift]

ohhhhh

ty

I understand it now

[charred fog]

To show world space items you need to point camera to them

[gusty abyss]

Can you run unity and blender on a Chromebook?

[slim narwhal]

is anyone else getting an invalid signature error on packages?

THANK YOU

lol

[gusty abyss]

@charred fog could you answer my question if you know please and thank you

[charred fog]

Please don't tag people into your questions. Also it seems like something that you should lookup with

[gusty abyss]

Ok

[tranquil coral]

how exactly are you supposed to use the physics raycaster component??? i see it adds a camera so i thought maybe i dont have to code the actual logic manually like i do usually with Physics.Raycast,i tried looking at the docs and online but i cant find anything about it all i can find is tutorials about Physics.Raycast i dont need Physics.Raycast i want to know about this component

[vivid cedar]

PhysicsRaycaster allows objects with Colliders to be used with the Event System

i.e. you can use these with them:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/SupportedEvents.html

You can find info about raycasters here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/Raycasters.html

[fair cove]

Every software is going to have "Minimum Specs" listed on their website, if you want to know if your computer can run certain software you need to make sure your specs are just as good or better than the minimum specs they list, if you want to know if it can run multiple software, ideally youll want specs that is better than both the minimum specs of both software, you might be able to run it but if you dont have good enough hardware it might be a slow/laggy experience and you might face occasional crashes if one maxes your memory (which might be greatly affected by what your doing in either software)

[tranquil coral]

oh ok i get it,ill use another approach for enemy fov then

[prisma nimbus]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/InspectorItems.html - " If the values are different across two or more selected GameObjects, the Inspector displays a dash (-). To apply a property value from one selected GameObject to all selected GameObjects, right-click the property name and select Set to Value of [Name of GameObject] from the context menu."

I don't seem to have the "Set to Value of [Name of GameObject]" option. Can somebody else try?

Nevermind, it seems to have worked on one Component property, but not "Scale".

[sly lake]

No. Maybe Blender, but not easily.

[gusty abyss]

Ok

[flat breach]

hello, with virtual effects what's the difference between Play() , SendEvent("onPlay") ? I've tried Play() in the start and sending event each 3 seconds but it doesn't play the visual effect

[vivid cedar]

Do you mean Visual Effects? Like VFX Graph?

[flat breach]

yes exactly

ohh yea my bad I said virtual sorry

[vivid cedar]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/ScriptReference/VFX.VisualEffect.Play.html

This call is equivalent to VisualEffect.SendEvent("OnPlay");

[flat breach]

ohh okay, do you know why my VFX doesn't appear in playmode? when I play it using the editor it works

[vivid cedar]

Not off the top of my head.

Try asking in #✨┃vfx-and-particles

[swift rain]

I deleted the cache and it’s still not opening @nova brook

[nova brook]

Try complete reinstallation of Unity Hub not editor just Unity Hub

It might work

[swift rain]

Alr

[trail sun]

i plan to make 2 cutscenes for a game me and some friends are making for a school project the cutscene would be for a spaceship clashing with a meteor shower. For the first cutscene it would switch from a calm view further from the ship to the panic of aproaching the meteors and clashing them. Would it be better to learn to do it in units cinemachine or blender?

[sudden ruin]

unity has a Timeline system that is best suited for making cutscenes

[vivid cedar]

Look into Unity Timeline

oops I was 🐢

[trail sun]

Alright thanks for the help

[swift rain]

It’s still not working idk what else to do @nova brook

[nova brook]

Last Steps to do
1.First uninstall Unity hub
2.Search %AppData% on search
3.when you open that folder you see a lot of folder Just Delete UnityHub and then reinstall it will work

After uninstalling and deleting UnityHub folder try to restart pc and then install hub again

[swift rain]

Appdata ain’t poping up in search

[worldly cave]

are you on windows?

[swift rain]

Yea

[worldly cave]

it might be hidden

[sudden ruin]

appdata is a hidden folder by default

at the top bar in file explorer, press view and then check hidden files

[swift rain]

Where would I find it tho cuz I got the hidden folders on

I got that on but it’s still not popping up in search

[sudden ruin]

try typing %appdata% in Run

[swift rain]

I just deleted the folders

[sudden ruin]

win + R

[swift rain]

I found it

Omg it opened thanks so much

How do I move a project file into a new unity project that’s in my folder

[worldly cave]

are you trying to load another project?

you really just need to drop the contents of the project folder in the other

[swift rain]

I’m trying to get my old projects back they are still In my files

But none of my projects saved

So they are in my files I just need to switch them over now

[craggy pollen]

you can also go into the Assets folder of your project there is the .unity file this will also open unity

[vapid smelt]

Wsp guys does anyone know why i dont have the climbing prefab in Xr interaction?

[craggy pollen]

#🥽┃virtual-reality

[swift rain]

Wym like drag the unity project folder into somthing

[craggy pollen]

double click it

[swift rain]

There we go I did it

[craggy pollen]

now the project should be in your hub , you can open it form there next time

[royal cargo]

Hey if I wanted to ask questions abt urp shaders which channel should I ask in again

[stuck flower]

Why are your only messages in this server pinging a random other user

[last wagon]

hes my friend

dont worry

and sorry to do so

but he actually knows me

[stuck flower]

Then you should DM them, what's the point in pinging them in a public server

[last wagon]

he blocked me for some reason

we were making a code website together

[stuck flower]

Then you should probably take that as a hint

[last wagon]

dw once he replies i wont repeat it

[stuck flower]

They blocked you. They're not replying.

[last wagon]

they will

can u pls stop

[stuck flower]

This isn't what this server is for

[last wagon]

i know

we both used to work using ts mods here

[stuck flower]

And they literally blocked you. They won't see your pings.

[last wagon]

ts is my new id

they will dude

can u just stop

[stuck flower]

That's not how discord works

[latent meadow]

go make a thread and ping him there if that is how you want to spend your time. next step is contacting a moderator. stop flooding the room

Is it normal that everytime i open a folder that has a scenetemplate inside for unity to freeze up?

seems to only happen with scene templates for some reason

[potent moss]

hi is there any way to check if a button is being held down rather than just being pressed once?

[half bone]

Is it possible to use unity on mobile?

[latent meadow]

a game, yes. the editor, no. not unless you run it on a PC and remote control it

[half bone]

Oh ok

[stuck flower]

Actual input button or UI button

[potent moss]

ui button

[plain dagger]

You have to do that yourself with the pointer events

using pointerdown to start a timer and pointerup/exit to end

[stuck flower]

Set a bool in OnPointerDown
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerDownHandler.html

And then whenever the button is released, un-set it. (Don't use onPointerUp because that fires when someone releases the button over this object)

So unconditionally un-set the bool on release. If it's already off, setting it off again won't do anything

[keen jetty]

damn, scriptablerenderingfeature are so poorly documented and barely anyone covers it effectively

[stuck flower]

Yeah I don't think anyone actually knows how scriptable renderers work they just occasionally ship-of-theseus the code into something that kinda works and everyone else is copying their homework

[keen jetty]

how do I even connect a material output to a pass, I really just want to do some simple compositing and I am ripping my hair out

[plain dagger]

There are some docs about render graph that do explain how to do it to some degree
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/Manual/urp/render-graph.html

I presume it mostly applies to hdrp too

[onyx shale]

heya

[charred fog]

@ember plaza Stop spamming "hi" in the channel. If you have a question ask it.

[ember plaza]

I only said it twice🫩✌️

[onyx shale]

chill

[keen jetty]

jesus it is fogsight again...

[keen jetty]

im working on URP, and the renderpass I dont think allow me to have a seperate output for seperate pass

[stuck flower]

This is a help server, if you have a question ask it. But if you're here again to ask someone to just make your entire game for you for free you can probably just skip the question too.

[charred fog]

If you have a moderation related question or a feedback, use #1161868835423526933 otherwise don't spam the channel.

[keen jetty]

basically I need 2 set of this for individual pass, is it possible?

[ember plaza]

Ok

[plain dagger]

Try checking this page on how render to some texture that is then used on another pass
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/Manual/urp/render-graph-add-texture-to-frame-data.html

You would want to use one pass to render to some texture to then utilize this "output" in another.
Ofc at some point you must blit/mix with the main frame buffer.

I think you are confused about how these scriptable passes even work 🤔

plz move this to #1391720450752516147

[strong fable]

is it possible to use root motion with an animation clip I create in unity? all tutorials always have imported clips where they match the avatar on the import settings which I cant do cuz I've made the animation itself in unity...

[charred fog]

You should ask in #🏃┃animation

[fossil smelt]

Does anyone know how I can track down this new-sphere?

nothing pops up when I search for it in project window.

nor is it in resources.

[stuck flower]

What does the stack trace show? What's looking for it?

[fossil smelt]

It happened when I baked lighting

It just duplicates every second

into more compiler errors of the same thing

[stuck flower]

and what does the stack trace show? What is actually throwing the error?

[fossil smelt]

Unity isn’t giving me a stack trace. The error is coming from the asset database refresh after baking lighting. It’s a resource‑loading error, not a script exception. There’s no script line to trace as far as I know.

[stuck flower]

Show a screenshot of your full console with one of those selected

It should at least say what internal script is giving the error

[stuck flower]

which might be useful in narrowing down the problem

[fossil smelt]

a bunch of objects also disappeared after baking

[stuck flower]

Okay, so I guess it isn't there, withdrawn. I figured it'd at least show one script name, something to go off of

Nothing comes up when searching for the error and it seems like some context is missing here. Is new-sphere.fbx a file in your project?

[fossil smelt]

No, it's not a file

[stuck flower]

Have you tried restarting the editor

Hi *

What is use for vfx

[potent geyser]

Particles and any pipeline

[near wigeon]

VFX graph as well, very powerful tool
https://www.youtube.com/@unity/search?query=vfx graph

[dreamy hornet]

Is there a way to toggle the status (on/off) of an object in the scene with the use of SO?
I can't link assets in thie hierarchy with SO since it's a type mismatch. Any suggestions?

The idea is that I have SO Quest Objects, that toggle the next quest giver/location/item to be turned on and the previous to be turned off

basicallly this

[near wigeon]

You'd need to inject that in someway or create an event it can be subscribed to
ScriptableObjects are "standalone" assets and can only reference other assets

[dreamy hornet]

I was thinking about creating a list of all needed interactions, but that sounds so whacky

[near wigeon]

I mean you can but that sounds like a different thing, In terms of telling an object you've completed a quest I'd use some type of event

the SO quest object can have an event that fires OnQuestCompleted then handle it from there whatever objects are interested into it, subscribe to it when you want to "track" that quest

more or less, quests systems can vary in complexities and scopes, just giving a small suggestion to make it easier

as long as you know SO are assets, like say a Soundclip or png, that you can reference from scene gameobjects but not other way around

(you can add it at runtime though in a field)

Hello idk where i should put this question but is this normal this is my first time baking

[pearl oyster]

#1390346776804069396 but yes, baking lights can take several hours

[mint gorge]

Im gonna start praying for my laptop 🙏

[trim osprey]

hey

uhm so im quite new here, i just joined. just wanting to know how can i start on unity, no tutorials seem to be up to date and i dont know where to start

[mystic kestrel]

Hi guys :) Question for those familiar with uploading WebGL buils to Itch- right now, i have it set to 1920x1080, but when most people click on the game, theyve been telling me it takes up so much of their screen they have to scroll, and im not sure why its so huge! Idk if its a Unity export thing or an Itch upload thing 😭 on my 4k monitor it shows up appropriately, but my normal size monitor its huge

Any help greatly appreciated!

https://onlyoz.itch.io/showstopper

[balmy palm]

If your screen is 1920x1080 then using a 1920x1080 web resolution will of course eat up the whole screen

On itch.io

[mystic kestrel]

it fills more than the screen though is the problem
as you can see here, there are large margins cut off (about 10-20% of the total game size)

[balmy palm]

That’s because the web resolution isn’t the whole screen.

This isn’t a unity problem. You just gotta set a smaller resolution for the not fullscreen game.

[mystic kestrel]

AH okay word, thx

[pearl oyster]

Your browser window is zoomed in

[mystic kestrel]

It had the problem regardless of when I zoomed in or out so I was toying with it, but ty for pointing that out! <3 I had to reduce the size from 1920x1080

[crisp phoenix]

lol why tf is my ramps lighting stupid

everything else is fine

just this

[pearl oyster]

Note that you can't rely on players all having that size monitor or what zoom level they use. Usually games have a fairly small embed size and a button to make the game fullscreen

[sly lake]

Looks like lightmapping without lightmapping UVs

[stiff niche]

Hi all 👋

Not sure if it is the best channel to post my question but I have some issue with HDR (to make color bright). I have been debugging this for 1h now and I don't understand.

Here is my issue.

"I have a shader graph with HDR to make a texture super bright, I see in the scene view that my object is indeed super bright but in the game view it is never bright. I checked lots of thing and even used AI to help me but still not working :/ "

Here are the screen shots:

If someone can help me it would save me ! 🙏

[ocean pumice]

is post processing activated on your MainCamera?

[stiff niche]

I am using Cinemachine camera and yeah I did try with and without post-processing. I will try this again

[deft rock]

What do you have 'HDR' set to on the camera component, and if it points to the pipeline settings, is HDR enabled on the active settings?

[stiff niche]

yeah it is on.

[stiff niche]

In the settings I am in High quality and HDR is enabled

(I don't know if there is a vocal chat here but if someone has a bit of time I ill gladly accept a debug call xD)

[deft rock]

there is no vc on here

[stiff niche]

would you be available for a quick call by any chance ? getting desparate on my issue xD

[copper gust]

No calls here

Text based

[deft rock]

no

There are lots of results on google for unity urp hdr not working in gameview .. search that and work through them.

[stiff niche]

yeah thats what I am doing, currently but for now not working and chatgpt is also out of ideas it seems

[deft rock]

AI is stupid anyway, stop using it

[stiff niche]

it can help for debugging

[deft rock]

ok.

[copper gust]

So can actual debugging 😄

[nova brook]

#🎥┃cinemachine or #💥┃post-processing post in these channels they are specific channels for that purpose

[deft rock]

HDR is neither of those things

[nova brook]

I know but they are related to that stuff

[copper gust]

Not related to Cinemachine whatsoever

[deft rock]

... no.

Remove CM and you still have HDR, it makes no difference.
Have no post processing, and you still have HDR, it makes no difference (to the availability).

[copper gust]

Post processing channel makes a bit of sense

here is fine enough tho
