[gray frigate]

what part of my answer is unclear to you?

[deft creek]

all of it

[balmy palm]

You can watch a tutorial. Tutorials are actually pretty good at teaching you the inspector.

[kindred flume]

can someone suggest an idea for a 3D game, I'm learning how to make

[dense drift]

hi everyone

[plain dagger]

respectfully, no

The inspector window shows information and things about what you have selected currently (e.g. an object in a scene or an asset)
Go follow the unity essentials course to learn all about the editor interface: https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials?version=6.3

[dense drift]

omori

[jagged sage]

Theres a worse one

[dense drift]

guys is there anyone who has time to watch screenshare of mine a lil. Im beginner and i wanna show my game. So js let me know if theres something that can be fixed

🕊️

[jagged sage]

Why not just record your gameplay into a vid

Than screensharing

[dense drift]

its much easier

[jagged sage]

Fair enough

[balmy palm]

Why am i getting deja vu?

[dense drift]

i have huge issue rn

my camera is weird, i dont see in moving 3d way if u know what i mean

i cant do shi

someone please help me, i even reopened unity

[fleet canopy]

if you want feedback use #1180170818983051344 or #🏆┃daily-win
and if you have a problem with something ask your question here

[fleet canopy]

looks like you're in isometric/ortho view, click on hwere it says "Iso"

[dense drift]

wheres iso? Im so dumb srr

[dense drift]

THANK U BROTHER

[fleet canopy]

youre not dumb btw it's part of the learning

[dense drift]

am i allowed to send a screenshot of my game btw? Without asking for help

[fleet canopy]

refer to this

[dense drift]

im lowk doing everything basic for hours

[dense drift]

deal

ill go there now

i sent it there

i wish i had better grass texture that isnt 2D man

mine looks so ahh

damn why it takes 8 minutes to type in daily win agian 💔

[golden crane]

scammer in this server that sent me a friend request wawa
idk where im supposed to post this

[lean flame]

Guys I need some help with my fan game. So basically I've reinstalled photon so many times and my player model will just not show up at all

[worldly cave]

Theres thousands of these in any large server

just block and ignore

[golden crane]

oke

[pure igloo]

I have two colliders of which one has a script attached to it which has OnTriggerEnter2D. Whenever they are colliding, instead of the log showing that the event is only triggerred once, it says that the event is triggerred atleast 3 times.

i only want it to be triggerred once, i don't want ghost collisions happening

[near wigeon]

Log the exact object that's calling the log

Like gameObject.name for example

The log the hit trigger name too , both in one log and see what's going on

[pure igloo]

ehm...is this a problem?

the same thing is entering the collider 5 times, i don't even know what grammar is

Sadly, just installing Photon does not instantly make your game multiplayer, which means it wont instantly make your player "show up" on the network, im guessing by "fan game" your referring specifically to gtag? If so im pretty sure they have a very specific modified SDK which would be something to ask a gtag development server, if its just about Photon in general, maybe you can try asking the Photon server or asking in #1390346492019212368 with a lot more detail on what you have, what you tried, and what is not working

[broken folio]

Weird question, is there a way to set the resolution on a lower quality?
Cuz my internet sucks

[lean flame]

I put in everything the tut told me to do. And before the model showed up and it was multiplayer and it had voice chat. I even connected to a couple rooms with my computer system

[broken folio]

It is actually a big deal to me

[fair cove]

Sounds like you might be using some specific SDK that is using a template for Photon, maybe go back through the tutorial again, if it worked before and its not working now, chances are you may have missed a step somewhere

[lean flame]

It never told me to install an sdk it just said to download pun 2 free and the voice version of it and ofc some scripts and change will be settings and install some other stuff and it worked the first time

[fair cove]

What is the "it" that told you this information?

[lean flame]

B. Awesome

[fair cove]

Ah, not too sure specifically who that is, but looking online it looks like their content is focused on VR with Photon, which is usually using some kind of SDK for VR and Photon to be integrated, so its possible you missed a step in that integration process (I dont develop for VR though this is just based on what you explained so far)

[lean flame]

Hey I can't talk rn I'm playing SM and I'm not on my PC so I'll text you if I see a problem after I check

[polar basalt]

1. look in your console
2. check if u actually joined a room
3. check if your script actually does something, add debug logs when it tried instantiating your player

also dont dm people without them asking for you to do so

[lean flame]

Oh ok

I'll check later

[polar basalt]

if you have a question on some specific youtuber's tutorial just ask in their server

good luck

[latent meadow]

if it is not an option on a videos controls, probably not. many of them can be downloaded though, so even slow internet eventually gets them

[hard mantle]

Hey guys suddenly all versions of unity are stuttering pretty bad for a few seconds after first clicking into the scene view or hitting play, even in freshly made empty projects (or in the case of hitting play, with just a camera controlled by a cinemachine input component).

I tried using the profiler in edit mode.... but it doesn't show any stutters or anything, which is weird.

I haven't changed anything on my system besides updating my graphics driver AFTER it started happening. Anyone else ever seen something like this?

[potent geyser]

We don't allow links to download files.

[narrow canopy]

ok

then how do I post the unity project then its bigger than discords limit

[potent geyser]

You don't, you share a video, or screenshot or code with some explanation of the issue.

[narrow canopy]

it says it required direct3d even though I exported it 2d (5.6.7 unity)

[potent geyser]

Unity is a 3D game engine

The fact you made a "2D" game in it, doesn't change that fact.

[odd falcon]

what?

[woeful spear]

The sun looks a bit weird (it's like over saturated and not rendered properly) in Game view compared to scene view. In scene view, it looks better. Is there something wrong?

i have the normal map but dont know how to go about making it look as it should

Hello, I remember asking this earlier but are there any structured learning courses for Unity? Last time I think someone said Unity Learn but I don't think it's structured in the sense that I can learn something one after the next.

[storm patio]

the pathways are structured int hat way though? if that isn't working for you you can just search in google or youtube

[ancient moat]

pathways?

oh wait just checked what it is on the unity learn site, i think it might be what I'm looking for, thanks.

[woeful spear]

What's the use of Ground color? Isn't it supposed to affect the color of objects on ground? I see no effect.

[violet thunder]

IIRC that's the light coming from below

Nothing points downwards in that scene so you can't see it

If it even affects objects, that is

[sly lake]

The skybox is used as a fallback color for reflections and indirect lighting

So that things aren’t completely dark in the shadows

[woeful spear]

I'm using Lighting source as Gradient here. I guess ground color won't matter for me?

[sly lake]

I guess not

[shell harness]

hola guys
i am working on a racing game. I want to make some bot opponents to race against. How do people normally go about this?

[woeful spear]

These shadows are not rendering properly. It flickers when I look up and down. Shadow is related to the mountain (terrain). Any way to fix it?

[serene talon]

What are some games I can make to get better at developing? Or does anybody have any vision board ideas to get creative with on Unity?

[violet thunder]

Depends on what you need, they could be simply following some preset spline curves, with some physics and randomization or I guess ML Agents for more advanced AI.

Hello, I'm still a beginner in Unity and all my projects are constantly failing, even though they're basic packages for a typical project, and this is preventing me from testing my game.

[plain dagger]

update to a later unity version as this bug has been fixed

[modest warren]

unity hub proposed only this one as the latest

[pearl oyster]

That's what you have installed. Click the Install Editor button

[modest warren]

the higher version are the alpha and the beta version , but in the formation i follow they told me to don't use them

Install the latest 6.3

i just hope my project will not crash

I just read that you need "lightmap UVs" for models I import in Unity if I want to bake lights.

If you were to import a new mesh without a lightmap UV, you’d need to create one or get Unity to automatically generate one before baking a lightmap.

Question: The automatically generated lightmaps work good enough?

Also, are these lightmap UVs different from the normal UVs we use for materials?

[plain dagger]

The option exists because light map uvs cannot overlap and sometimes uv0 (for materials) overlap or have other oddities.
Its also useful if your model has no uvs in uv0

[woeful spear]

When I create and export model to Unity, the UV I generated in Blender works fine for materials inside Unity. Is it called UV0?

Also, I think there's no overlapping in the UVs I generate.

[plain dagger]

A model can contain many uv sets. the first one is uv0 and what is normally used by shaders

If present unity uses uv1 for lightmapping and is also where unity generates its lightmapping uvs for a model

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/uv/uv_texture_spaces.html#uv-maps

[woeful spear]

Yeah I can assign multiple in Blender. So the UV0 won't work for baking you need additional UV?

Is there any way to see in Unity itself how many UVs it has?

There's this generate option but it doesn't tell if i already has.

[plain dagger]

If you expand the model asset and inspect the meshes inside yes.
Uv0 is used if thats the only UV in the model

Look just try baking light without this. If stuff looks fucked or weird then enable this option and try again

[dense drift]

Wsp guys

[viscid egret]

Please move this tag button, every time I see it causing so much wasted space I twitch a little.

[fair cove]

You could try recreating retro/classic games like chess, pong, brickbreaker, space invaders, flappy bird, etc, or you can try creating a game around 1 mechanic from a game you like, or you could try making a game jam from previous themes (itch io always have plenty of game jams) or you can try taking one of the Unity Learn projects like "Roll A Ball" for example, and design more interesting gameplay for it - with each project, I would suggest to try and focus on one thing to practice, it could be how you handle source control, project and script organization, code patterns, art techniques, etc

[woeful spear]

It seems to work with default UV. However, the baked shadows were too soft and barely noticeable on these cubes. The cube on left is Unity Cube and the other cube and apples are made in Blender. Both had same issue. Then I increased these Lightmap resolution to 1000 and size to 4096 pixels. It seems to have made it much better.

But I guess those are too high numbers? Default Lightmap resolution is only 40.

Baking took around 5 minutes.

I don't think it's UV related issue at all. Because Unity Cube also had same issue. Only Terrain shadoes were dark enough by default.

Oh wait, is it because when baking Directional Light, there's just too much area to bake? Maybe that's why it needs way more data.

It seems to have baked entire Terrain tile in a texture.

[craggy oar]

Hi
I'm a total beginner and I have a problem with Unreal engine, I know this is Unity's server but in Unreal engine's community no one is helping me.
Do you guys know what the problem is? Idk but my viewport is just black, it wasn't like this, I closed it and opened it and now it's like this.

[slow dirge]

Just because no one answers in the right server, doesn't mean you should be asking in unrelated places...

[craggy oar]

Yep sorry

[craggy oar]

Do you know the problem though?

[slow dirge]

Nope.

[craggy oar]

Oh ok

[edgy mulch]

This is not the place to ask the question. This is the Unity Discord.

[craggy oar]

Yeah sorry

[balmy palm]

Am i seeing the unreal engine interface or am i tripping?

[craggy oar]

Nah you're not tripping, it is Unreal engine's interface

[flat breach]

hi, do you guys have a good documentation on properties? because I don't really understand them

[storm patio]

if the unreal folks haven't answered why would you expect us to be able to

[storm patio]

have you tried googling "c# properties"

[flat breach]

yea and the microsoft doc seems to be good but not easy though

[storm patio]

have you checked others

they're often paraphrased differently so different phrasing might help

[flat breach]

I've watched w3sschools section on it but it doesn't explain anything lol, I'll try to find another one better

[storm patio]

or if there's some specific aspect or example you don't understand, ask about that. generic questions will yield generic answers

w3s is not particularly known to be high-quality tbh

[craggy oar]

It's not like they can't, it's more like that they won't

[slow dirge]

You'll need to explain what about them you don't understand.

[flat breach]

fr

[storm patio]

that was rhetorical, it doesn't really matter. we won't either.

[flat breach]

well I'd say nothing, I mean okay I know it's like public but to access it you need to get it and then you can set it but w3sschools just doesn't explain anything$

[storm patio]

properties are not inherently public, they obey the same access levels as other kinds of members (fields, methods, constructors, types)

[slow dirge]

A property is like a combination of a variable and a method, and it has two methods: a get and a set method
https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_properties.php

is that not clear enough?

[storm patio]

getting/setting a property is identical to getting/setting a field, just referencing or assigning directly

[flat breach]

no it's not at all, it always shows the same example where they make an object of a class and basically change the property's value

[storm patio]

it's the callee/implementation/definition side that's different

[slow dirge]

Because that's all there is to it really. It's just a way to set or get a field value.

[storm patio]

i feel like your mental model is more complicated than it has to be

properties are syntactic sugar for 1-3 methods and 0-1 fields

[flat breach]

but in my case, some set are private etc, for whatever reason I'd like to understand it, and they aren't returning anything in the get but just use the property immediately like this : public Player LocalPlayer { get; private set; }

[flat breach]

then they do LocalPlayer = .....

[sly lake]

Let's not discuss this any further, but I just want you to know you can debug rendering issues with a tool like Renderdoc or Pix.
Also GDN has an Unreal channel 😉

[slow dirge]

This is just a property with public getter and a private setter. Do you understand the accessor modifiers? Because there's nothing really special in terms of property concept in this example.

[thorny charm]

why does my test subject follow me only if he is atleast 1 above the ground?

[flat breach]

yes I do understand them

but I don't understand them in the properties as I don't understand properties lol

when it's a public getter that means equaling it to something just gets the something value?

[slow dirge]

They're serving the same purpose in properties as everywhere else - determining where the specific thing can be accessed.

[rose flicker]

Hello, I am having a little problem, I tought of a game for days, I know all the mechanics and things the player can do, but I dont know what the player should do to win the game.Is there something I can learn for better game planning?

[slow dirge]

No. It only decides where it can be called/accessed from. That's it

[flat breach]

ohh okay

but to access it in the same class, I can just call the property name immediately?

[storm patio]

mate your mental model is way overcomplicating things

you're seen these modifiers before but you're assuming they mean something vastly different here

[storm patio]

same for any other kind of member

[flat breach]

no I don't think it means something different lol but I just don't understand the set and get, I'll try to find a good documentation on this

[plain dagger]

Properties are fancy ways to have a get and set function

[storm patio]

didn't i show the equivalent method already

it's just syntactic sugar

[flat breach]

but why'd I use it then? It seems to overcomplicate things for nothing?

[plain dagger]

public string Id => id;
Cool way to provide read only access to a field

[storm patio]

it's syntactic sugar

[plain dagger]

public string GetId() => id;
Does the same

Fuckin mobile

[flat breach]

oh okay

[flat breach]

bro, these aren't properties 😭

I understand what u talkin about here

[storm patio]

he didn't say they were

[plain dagger]

The FIRST example was

But both are technically the same

[storm patio]

it's not complicated man, you're definitely overcomplicating your mental model here

do you know what syntactic sugar is

[flat breach]

ohhh okayy so it's basically a readonly value which is equal to another variable which can change?

[flat breach]

in this case the get?

[storm patio]

in the case of a get-only property

it's like a readonly field except the value can change based on some other thing

[flat breach]

I didn't know lol, but it means like the same way to do something but more readable, isn't it that?

[storm patio]

yes, it seemed to me like you were just ignoring that

properties are just syntactic sugar

[slow dirge]

Because they're convenient. They make the code cleaner and the intent easier to understand. You could have getter/setter methods instead, like in Java, but they would overrun your whole file.

[flat breach]

ohh okay, yea I was just overcomplicating things

[tribal jacinth]

how can i move a game to another monitor?

i found online that unity doesn't have an api for that

[uncut sundial]

is it just me or does unity 6 feels sluggish?

[slow dirge]

If unity really doesn't support it, you would probably need to write a native plugin.

[uncut sundial]

i feellike the reactin time on unity 6 feels bit sluggish compared to the 2022

[balmy palm]

More like visual studio 2026 unity support feels sluggish.

[slow dirge]

Reacting to what? Are you talking about the editor or your game/play mode?

[copper gust]

You’d be looking at windows c# type googling, but generally applications don’t do what your asking(?)

[balmy palm]

Although it has gotten vasty better

[uncut sundial]

im talking about doing things like loading in stuff and the reacting time on opening stuff

[tribal jacinth]

i mean games have an option where u can select which monitor u want it on

[uncut sundial]

im not using visual studio tho

[tribal jacinth]

just found this tho
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Screen.MoveMainWindowTo.html

[uncut sundial]

i only have that problem opening a new project and then for like a couple minutes of sluggish behavior after that it runs normal but jus thought it was bit odd lol

[balmy palm]

Most people are. What are you using then?

[uncut sundial]

im using mostly bolt and Windsurf

[balmy palm]

Does that sustain good unity support in your personal experience?

[cunning mauve]

hello i have an issue about unity, is there any channel that i use for help ?

[storm patio]

most channels here are help channels

[uncut sundial]

u could say windsurf is kinda visual studio but im not using the official visual studio tat is very heavy i used it with unreal for c++ and it almost destroyed my pc lol

[cunning mauve]

Hello, even if the windows are open (like hierachy, inspector etc.) i cant see them, can someone help please? I cant even see the console error when i press the red button at left bottom corner

[balmy palm]

What's your computer specs like?

[uncut sundial]

yeah it is basically the same doing text code in windsurf kind of feels the same as in visual studio but i think windsurf is more lightweight

[deft rock]

What version of Unity are you using?

[cunning mauve]

6000.0.10f1 it was working on my main computer, but i cant open any project on this computer

[cunning mauve]

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and 1060ti as far as i remember

[uncut sundial]

i mean overal unity 6 functions very upp to date i have no complaints there it might be that the starting sluggish phase is because of compiling shaders at the start not sure if that would be the case but that would make the most sense to e

[deft rock]

that is very, very old.. update to the latest

[balmy palm]

Seems normal enough. Your ram would probably be reasonable too.

[uncut sundial]

we are currently at 6000 6.7.f1 so that version is quiet old

[cunning mauve]

If I update my Unity version to the latest Unity 6 release, will I be able to open my current project that I pulled from GitHub without breaking anything?

[uncut sundial]

i mean 3.7f1 sorry lol

[uncut sundial]

chances things gonna break is quiet common if u go from 6.0 to 3.7

[deft rock]

I mean.. probably, but there's always a chance something will need tweaking/ fixing. Just make sure you've got the latest changes pushed to github and you're fine aren't you.

[deft rock]

6.0 is still getting updates.

Update to the latest 6.0, don't go to 6.3

[uncut sundial]

i know but if u would upgrade from 6.0 to 3.7 that would be a quiet a leap things will break easier with big jumps like that

[deft rock]

things are more likely to requiring fixing, yes..

[uncut sundial]

hnestly if your game doesnt need the new features i would have stayed in 2022

[cunning mauve]

I was following a course and they were using this specific version, that's why I installed it :(

[deft rock]

that's usually a good idea, but this bug means you'll need to update - go with a newer version of 6.0 and you'll still be ok for the tutorial

[uncut sundial]

i know devs who still operate in the unity 2018 or if u really wanan go back i know people who even use unity 1.0 thats pretty ancient by now lol

[cunning mauve]

Okay thank you all

[uncut sundial]

aah oke yeah that make sense often good to follow the same version if its not too far from the recent updated ones but overal id say 2022 is the most doable when following tutorials

[flat breach]

hi is it normal? and how to fix it if it's not?

[uncut sundial]

sorry cant help there i have never encountered this

[storm patio]

you could just, not answer

[flat breach]

no problem

[storm patio]

do you expect to be a member? eg you made the project and such normally?

[uncut sundial]

is this a project a project that u share with others?

[flat breach]

not really, it's just a unitypackage that I downloaded online and I'd like to build it for webgl

[flat breach]

no

[storm patio]

then that message should be expected, no?

you aren't a member of the project...

[flat breach]

I don't really understand it tbh

[flat breach]

and how to make me a member?

I didn't even know this existed lol

[uncut sundial]

the project is not linked to a registered ID thats why it gives u that error

[storm patio]

the project isnt' in your account, in a way

[storm patio]

..do you need to?

[flat breach]

oh you think I can build without being a member?

[storm patio]

yeah? why wouldn't you be able to

it says you can't use unity services, building isn't a unity service

[flat breach]

idk lol

[storm patio]

this is about project management stuff, unity cloud and its services

[flat breach]

oh yea you're right

[uncut sundial]

u only missing the registered ID for the cloud build that is now not accessible since therer is no membership active for it

[flat breach]

I did put in the id

[uncut sundial]

u might have to fix some things when u open it not sure what kind of project that is but often if it contains files that were saved on the cloud then u woudnt have access to those cloud files so i assume there could be some fixes u need to tweak for the build but im not 100% sure

[storm patio]

i don't think you'd have to do anything tbh

[flat breach]

oh okay, I hope not lol, it's annoying

[flat breach]

yea I don't think either

[uncut sundial]

no could be that everything works correctly but sometiems when projects are saved through cloud and if u have no ID to access that cloud version u will miss some files that were saved in there

did u get the project from github or somewhere from patreon?

[flat breach]

no from photon documentation, I'm new to mulitplayer games so I'm trying to take their samples and adapt them to fit what I want

[bitter drum]

chat is it normal for unity to take 8 minutes to load in an empty project

[uncut sundial]

aah oke well lets hope u have no problems with it 🙂

[uncut sundial]

what system are u running?

[bitter drum]

os?

[vocal ice]

I finished a game for a jam, made it using unity.
where can i post this stuff?

[uncut sundial]

but liek what are your pc specs for example HDD works alot slower then SSD so that could affect the loading times

[bitter drum]

tbh i don't know much my laptop costed £800 but the specs are ass

all i know is 8gb ram 😭

[uncut sundial]

8 gb ram id say should be fine in general but i think it kinda depends what the other specs are from the pc

[spare cedar]

is there some unity article for enemies ai?

[near wigeon]

probably

researching, its part of the job

"enemy ai" is vague as hell. You won't get much from here just asking like that

[potent moss]

hi wat is the easiest way to save player data in unity?

[lapis gate]

playerprefs usually

but json if you want actual substance and persistence

opened a fresh project and the camera and directional light seem to not work as intended
they do not appear as icons in the scene view nor is there a wireframe for the camera box

[bleak sable]

Hello does anybody know why this is happening?

[near wigeon]

You have to turn on the gizmos to see them

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GizmosMenu.html

[near wigeon]

what is "this" are you talking about the bloom ?

better off asking in #1390346776804069396
there are several ways to deal with lighting

[bleak sable]

not bloom but lighting but okay ill try in rendering

thanks you

[ornate dock]

What software equipments need for game dev?

[near wigeon]

depends what part of gamedev you're doing...

[ornate dock]

I am solo gamedev. I want to make guilty gear 3d anime style fighting game. Also what software need for making ui /ux?

I am come from ue5 to unity

for 5 years

[near wigeon]

while its cool you have big ideas in mind, making a game like that takes literally several teams and workflows.. Start smaller.
if you have experience for 5 years in UE how you not know what software you need for the job

You can make UI/UX in anything , including unity engine itself (UI Toolkit, uGUI, IMGUI etc)
Code only, art programs, mix of both etc.

[ornate dock]

Because I thought moving from old engine to new engine feels weird to me. also upgrading ue5 make my computer terrible. I cant properly use it because of lagging. I tried to use c++ but the computer shutdown, I cant use it properly now. Now I am moving to unity.

[near wigeon]

I tried to use c++ but the computer shutdown
not sure how this even checks , a programming language itself should not be cause issue while developing. Sounds like your computer might be needing cleaning.
C++ is much more difficult to learn, so c# is a better option to start with

[ornate dock]

Also I cant speak very well . sometimes my voice cracked

I have a talking issue. If I wrong then fix me.

[potent geyser]

There are no voice channels here, so it's not going to be an issue.

[near wigeon]

Yea just like, clean your computer so its nice and fresh then Install Unity and whatever modules you need then do the Learn programs + the Microsoft courses on C# (some pinned in #💻┃code-beginner )

[nova brook]

Can anyone tell me why Unity learn not saving progress

[near wigeon]

not sure why you replied to me about this 🤷‍♂️

[nova brook]

Mistake my bad sir

[ornate dock]

My computer is fine but epic launcher and ue 5.7 not fine. My pc : ryzen 5700g 16gb ram , 512 gb nvme, 512gb sata. I use it ue5.3 without coding and no lag issues. but blueprint was boring so I tried to use c++. And my pc cant handle now:( (Look, I never chat before in this discord, If I wrong something fix me. BTW I am 18 years old and 10 years art experience :))

[nova brook]

Wait that's Unity server

Oh try to clear cache

[ornate dock]

Man I said my experience about after using ue5 and now why I am moving to unity. ( I am telling the truth)

[nova brook]

Hmm

[nova brook]

Nice move

[near wigeon]

I tried to use c++. And my pc cant handle now
still don't see how this can be an issue at all, a programming language should not be affecting how your computer functions. You must've done something else to mess. it up..

anyhow if you want to switch to Unity then you need to use C# and any IDE that can handle both C# and Unity.
Common ones are Visual Studio, VS Code or Rider

[ornate dock]

That's why I say I have talking issue. I said when I open both ue5 and visual studio , It gets slow and heat.

[ornate dock]

does visual studio 2026 work on unity 6.3

[near wigeon]

yes.

16GB nowdays is pretty basic but should be fine for a while. I'd consider at least 32GB for gamedev

[nova brook]

Yeah it's best I use visual studio 2026

[nova brook]

I also have 16 gigs

[near wigeon]

Unreal though is pretty hungry , I think things like RTX or sum like that is on by default

[near wigeon]

gone are the days where people used to use 512MB workstations and thats all they needed to create masterpieces like GTAVC etc.

[ornate dock]

I have been thinking for a while but I dont have money sadly :(. Maybe I would get money after Great result in final examination 😐

[nova brook]

Yeah also game performance

[ornate dock]

Thats what I am talking about

[nova brook]

Yeah I am thinking about purchasing a workstation

[ornate dock]

Thats why OG games runs well than current shitty ai flop, unoptimization ue5 games

[near wigeon]

Unity is not the lightest weight engine but You can def develop decently with limited hardware, don't expect high definition without lag.. Thats why 2D is much easier to start with cause it arguably more lightweight assets

(the engine is still 3d)

Rendering quads is much easier than entire geometry of 100+ K tris

[ornate dock]

I will accept high definition without lag. Because I dont get issue with unity 6.3 and ue4.27

[near wigeon]

Yes UE 4.x was def better, it still running on my potato laptop

[ornate dock]

But its old and visual studio 2019 kinda outdated and out of support

[near wigeon]

VSC and its pretty lightweight compared to a full IDE like VS

texteditor with extensions vs full suite of tools

[ornate dock]

I never like that VSC. I have 3.5 years experience with pycharm and visual studio IDE.

[nova brook]

Less functionality but all in one text editor

[ornate dock]

I tried VSC but Its not great

[near wigeon]

it was pretty basic but has gotten a lot better..With unity / .net apps works flawlessly for me nowdays so 🤷‍♂️

[hazy mesa]

Unity keeps using way too much memory according to task manager and I cannot find out why.

There is no memory leaks according to the console window, and according to the memory profiler, unity is only using 5GB while task manager is reporting 8GB.

[ornate dock]

I dont like it . One mistake confrige all gone.

[nova brook]

34

[near wigeon]

have you tried another project ?
..blank one for starters..

[ornate dock]

UE5 laughing at the corner:

[nova brook]

try expanding editor processes and see the ram usage of each

[hazy mesa]

yes and memory usage there is fine.

[near wigeon]

no clue.
could be "reserved" enough to whatever you got in there

You used the Unity Memory progiler package?

[ornate dock]

Did I say any bad ?

[plain dagger]

The editor can eat lots of memory but its either user error or just that your project has too many assets in it

Memory profiler is the way to debug such things (in editor and builds)

[ornate dock]

Is Fmod similar to audacity?

[plain dagger]

no

[ornate dock]

I have audacity, flstudio. Do I need fmod for UNITY?

[near wigeon]

fmod is already unitys audio engine..

audacity is a DAW

not even close to the same thing

[plain dagger]

a quick google would have answered this question

[ornate dock]

Oh, OK. So I dont have download separately"

[craggy oar]

thank you ;DD

[lucid harness]

what font should i use?

[fossil jacinth]

Who can help me post my Gtqg copy to itch.io

[tacit tundra]

they both bad, check google fonts

[nova brook]

Pixelated one is good but try some other varients bcz it squeezed letters

[storm patio]

what issues are you having

[fossil jacinth]

Idk how to get like a file of my game to post it in itch

[nova brook]

Mean you want to build and export your game from unity

[fossil jacinth]

Yeah

[storm patio]

you would build your game in unity and upload it to itch with the proper config

there would be tutorials for this online

[nova brook]

Which platform

[fossil jacinth]

The game is done idk how to uploads

[fossil jacinth]

Vr

[nova brook]

Hmm you have module installed

[fossil jacinth]

Wym

What’s that

I’m new to unity so I don’t know much

[nova brook]

The modules like windows build support android build support web build support

[fossil jacinth]

Oh Yarh I have those

[storm patio]

have you built your game

[fossil jacinth]

Yeqh

It’s done

[nova brook]

Press Ctrl + shift + B

[storm patio]

ok, so what are you stuck on

[fossil jacinth]

What dose that do

[fossil jacinth]

I need a file of my game to post it on itch.io

[storm patio]

that's what building does

[amber walrus]

I need help with optimization, where can I talk about my problem?

[storm patio]

have you built or not

[fossil jacinth]

Yes

I think

[storm patio]

depends on what you're trying to optimize, pick a channel that matches the topic
if you're unsure, just ask and you'll be redirected if necessary

[fossil jacinth]

Like it’s a copy of a vr game

[storm patio]

if you did, you'd have a file...

[nova brook]

Mean you have a folder for your project which is already exported

[lucid harness]

is this better

[fossil jacinth]

I don’t have that

[storm patio]

then you haven't built

[fossil jacinth]

Can I call you sab y

Sabby

[nova brook]

Looks better than before

[storm patio]

man just go google a tutorial for building projects at this point

[nova brook]

Not available rn for a call

[fossil jacinth]

Om

Ok

[storm patio]

this defeats the purpose of having a community server, it's highly discouraged.

[fossil jacinth]

Oh

[amber walrus]

It's my whole game, for some reason in the editor when I check profile it's nothing but a bunch of red bars, and it makes my laptop fans go crazy every time I try to run it, and in build it doesn't get the same red bars but what it does is keep the computer fans loud. I need serious help, my game isn't even that good looking graphics wise

[nova brook]

You have a folder 📁 for your project
If you exported your project

[storm patio]

well, check what those bars are i guess? i'm not super familiar with profiling stuff myself, but the profiler should give you info about what's taking up a lot of cpu time

[fossil jacinth]

How do i export my project

[storm patio]

mate, go google a tutorial instead of playing this game of 20 questions

[fossil jacinth]

Google did not help at all

[storm patio]

it'll save us all a lot of time. there's a reason those resources exist

we wouldn't be able to either, then

you sure you've actually tried, though?

[nova brook]

Ctrl+ shift+B
Then a build settings popup
Select your platform at bottom click on Build click on the button and save the path to desktop or anywhere you want just wait

Then upload that game to itch.io

[fossil jacinth]

Thx man

One last question does my game need to be on unity cloud or no

[storm patio]

it does not, no

[fossil jacinth]

Ok

[sly lake]

What calendar is that?

[amber walrus]

Yeah look, idk how to even begin to fix this

[storm patio]

Wikipedia: Buddhist calendar

[sly lake]

Thanks

[storm patio]

uhhh well that's not the profiler i remember seeing from other questions...

though even if it was i probably wouldn't be able to tell

what if you check those "view" buttons on the editor loop?

[sly lake]

Just build. Editor loop is stealing all your frames

The build will run faster

[fossil jacinth]

What do I do?

[sly lake]

Limmy waking up.jpeg

[near wigeon]

first learn how to screenshot

people prone to help less when you're lazy, why us put the effort if you won't

[fossil jacinth]

Fine I will do it

now what

[storm patio]

didn't you say this was for VR

[fossil jacinth]

it is

[lucid harness]

go to player setting and put in the keystore password

[storm patio]

is there not a separate build profile for that? does it just use the android build profile lol

[near wigeon]

@lucid harness thats for PlayStore

[fossil jacinth]

all the vids i seen use andriod for vr

[fossil jacinth]

I don’t see no project key

[lucid harness]

are you in publishing settings

[fossil jacinth]

im being so dead ahh rn i dont see that

[lucid harness]

player settings

[fossil jacinth]

What do I put in it

[lucid harness]

make a game folder make sure you follow these steps

[fossil jacinth]

ok ima try it

[fleet canopy]

there are seperate build profiles but android also works

[lucid harness]

did it work?

[main lava]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZoJBa6cQMo&t=17s

[fossil jacinth]

im doing a diff way i found ima see if it works if it dont ima use yours

[lucid harness]

ok!

[polar basalt]

are you asset ripping Gorilla Tag????? why is your scene called Gorilla Tag??? this is very sus

[fossil jacinth]

yeah its a copy

[polar basalt]

you know you arent allowed to asset rip games right

[fossil jacinth]

oh well im very new to like unity and stuff

soo idk

[polar basalt]

start learning how to actually make games and dont do that, you are going down a bad path is all i can say

[fossil jacinth]

wym

ik it can get taken down for copy right

[polar basalt]

1. asset ripping is not legal
2. you prob wont learn anything since no code there is made by you
3. i would not suggest working on multiplayer systems if you do not have atleast 2-3 years exp

[fossil jacinth]

my friend is helping me make a fangame of the game

[fleet canopy]

how much unity do you know

is this your first project?

[polar basalt]

no you are making a copy, which isnt legal

[fossil jacinth]

i only know how to build

[polar basalt]

well dont make multiplayer games thats first

[fossil jacinth]

dude the copy is like a side project

[polar basalt]

learn the basics

[little sapphire]

🍿

[fossil jacinth]

ok

[polar basalt]

why

[fleet canopy]

if it’s like one of your first projects you should consider the learn pathway and get very familiar with unity first

[fossil jacinth]

bc when it gets taken down for copyright stuff i dont wanna make a new copy for the game

[fleet canopy]

additionally discussing decompiled and ripped assets is against the server’s #📖┃code-of-conduct

consider not being like the other trillion gtag fan game makers and learn the engine

!learn

[subtle owl]

Absolute agree

✋ 😶 🤚

[little sapphire]

I cant type +1 to it 😭

[fleet canopy]

it’s not to put you off, but VR and or multiplayer as beginner projects is not going to go well since they’re advanced topics

it is possible but you might end up going nowhere

[little sapphire]

well and copy paste is probably not the move at all

like I'm brand new to unity and I'm still figuring out how to make a basic game and learning to write the scripts and stuff

[fossil jacinth]

No bc there is nothing in the file name which is not making it work

[grand nacelle]

Build in way in Untiy to call one Function and move a file to the recyling bin? That isnt OS dependent

[vivid cedar]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.delete?view=net-10.0

Btw "recycle bin" is a windows-only thing, so that's immediately OS dependent.

[grand nacelle]

Recycle bin/trash same thing. A folderr place where you can access/recove non perma deleted files.

I was wondering if there is one for all OS's funciton that does it. But there isnt a function like that. And I dont want to do a function for every OS i plant to build on or test

[radiant pewter]

why is the prefab picture the deepest child sprite? is there any way to change the preview?

oh nvm there is no sprite loaded in the parents, that makes sense

"ask a full question illustrating with screenshots if needed."

[fossil jacinth]

ok

can i call you to show what i need to help with bc idk how to expalin it

[worldly cave]

no because theres nothing that can be explained easier through a call than through text

theres also no voice channels in this server for a reason

[wooden pebble]

Should player settings be stored as a json, scriptable object or script? The things i am really gonna need are strings, floats, int and bools. They (obviously) are gonna need to be changed mid-game. And should each tab(Graphics, Bindings, etc.) be a separate file?

[fossil jacinth]

i can share my screen and i can add you to call

[worldly cave]

🤔

[balmy kettle]

Just ask your question here. Nobody is going to dedicate time to help you privately

[plain dagger]

scriptable objects are a no go because they cannot store things persistently (they can in editor but thats just due to how assets work in editor)

so just use json cus thats easy

[fossil jacinth]

ima make a clip of what i mean by problome'

[worldly cave]

i think you should read that bot message again

[balmy kettle]

"stored" implies persistence which means only one of the three options you gave is viable

[wooden pebble]

oh right 😭

I forgot SOs dont actually save lol

[plain dagger]

JsonUtility is in unity and is an easy way to get started
@wooden pebble

[wooden pebble]

Okay thanks!

[plain dagger]

Later you can consider upgrading to a better "json serializer" library like json.net

or even the newer json stuff in .net

[wooden pebble]

I mean i dont really need a json serializer do i?

If it is gonna be in the games folder

[worldly cave]

Anyone else notice scene templates causing the editor to lag? Specifically if you open a folder containing a scene template

im trying to think what could be causing this

[wooden pebble]

only for the first few mins for me

[plain dagger]

haha you do, we call it serialization to convert data to and from a format such as JSON

Sometimes its even shortened to "serde"

[wooden pebble]

ohhh, i didn't know that

[worldly cave]

I mean for me its pretty quick, like if i open the folder its like the template is rebuilding itself or something

im not sure

i guess its not the end of the world just wondering if its a known issue

[plain dagger]

if in doubt just google it for plenty of definitions of these terms

[wooden pebble]

Okay thanks!

[wooden pebble]

Maybe they are compressed in a way and are being de-compressed in real-time to be opened?

or it is also possible that they are being cached so it is quicker later that why it lags for the first bit?

[plain dagger]

scene templates have previews so it could be the preview generation

[wooden pebble]

ahhh that is also possible

[worldly cave]

Honestly im so over dealing with scene templates that i have no reverie to just duplicate an existing scene and going from there rather than using the templates 😭

[fossil jacinth]

if yall can help with that pls lmk

[plain dagger]

what is the issue? the scene camera being orthographic?

[wooden pebble]

You are in ISO view

[fossil jacinth]

how i change

[plain dagger]

click the box in the center

[wooden pebble]

Click ISO to change it

[fossil jacinth]

omg thank you

[wooden pebble]

np

[wooden pebble]

So from what i understand i can make settings a class then serialize it on save?

[plain dagger]

Yes you would serialize an instance of your settings class to json then write this json to a file on disk

[wooden pebble]

Ohh ok, thats quite simple actually

[plain dagger]

Then you can read the file text and de serialise back to a class instance with that data

this is such a common concept you will be able to find plenty of examples in c#

[wooden pebble]

Okay thanks alot!

[dawn thicket]

With shadow cascade mode, shadows are rendered normally, but in normal render mode, they are not displayed.

[wooden pebble]

Also are PlayerPrefs like settings?

As in they can be used to store them

[plain dagger]

lets not call it settings, its a way to store persistent data.
Player prefs works but its limited and uses the registery on windows which is kinda shit

[wooden pebble]

You can sweatr on this server?!

[plain dagger]

For a beginners first project? go ahead
otherwise avoid player prefs on win/mac/linux

[wooden pebble]

So it is best to use my own way?

[plain dagger]

yes custom serialisation to a file is better
hell some games even use sqlite for saving data as a db

not recommended for a beginner

[wooden pebble]

I have heard about that, i always find it really funny

[wooden pebble]

okay thanks!

anyone has a clue how import models from blender into unity ? it keeps fucking up my model

[dreamy hornet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8lvoUtGYg

Good video

[plain dagger]

are you exporting the model as something or adding the .blend file directly into the project?

[nocturne orchid]

exporting as fpx

listen

i have tried everything through blender

everything nothing works

only thing i noticed that made a change was nameing meshes differently

[dreamy hornet]

I can promise you from experience. 99.9% of the time the error sits infront of the computer

[nocturne orchid]

and from bad it went to worse

[plain dagger]

then stop, describe your issue properly with images in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[nocturne orchid]

i will send it rn

when exported to unity and then extracting textures it looks like this

but in blender its like this

[vivid cedar]

Probably inverted normals in your model

[nocturne orchid]

tried that didnt work

[vivid cedar]

tried what exactly

[nocturne orchid]

before it loaded with the hoodie correctly then i read online that changing the mesh names can fix it but that made it worse

[vivid cedar]

what did you try

[nocturne orchid]

to check if i have inverted normals

[vivid cedar]

How did you check that

[nocturne orchid]

marking the entire body in edit mode

and then doing the bind for it

[vivid cedar]

the bind for what? Recalculate normals? That's not a magic wand that works for all models

[nocturne orchid]

Yes

[vivid cedar]

you need to use the visualization that shows normal directions

and make sure they're correct

[nocturne orchid]

exactly

[plain dagger]

No FBX exports will include the materials on the object

[nocturne orchid]

its defo not that gang , if changing names blender makes the situation change its not that

[plain dagger]

Do your materials in blender all use the same UV (uv0)?

[nocturne orchid]

idk

to be honest

[plain dagger]

Are they just some textures on the principled bsdf node?

[nocturne orchid]

no

they dont

different UV

[barren oriole]

Not sure where else to put this but I accidently hide this and now I have no Idea where to get it back so I can fix my view

Ive been looking for 15minutes 😭

[plain dagger]

This is why then, basically all unity shaders use uv0 and you would need a custom shader to change this.
Shader graph can make this easy and works like blenders shader editor.

[vivid cedar]

Press the `/~ key on your keyboard

and check the "Orientation" box

(in scene view)

[barren oriole]

IM SAVED

[nocturne orchid]

shader graph ?

[barren oriole]

THANK YOU

[nocturne orchid]

is that an addon ?

[vivid cedar]

yes, a first-party addon made by Unity

in the package manager

[plain dagger]

node based system to create shaders https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@17.5/manual/index.html

Realtime rendering has different considerations which is why 95% of the time only uv0 gets used for surface shading

@nocturne orchid btw you can solve this easier by separating out mesh pieces that need their own uv into objects (so theirs can become uv0 and work)

[nocturne orchid]

wdym

[plain dagger]

exactly what i said

each object can have its own uv0 to suit its needs instead of cramming many uvs into 1 mesh

Hii, good eveniing I need help pleeeasseee im working on a vr model and when i take off her clothes to try and change them half of her body dissapearss

[spice iris]

nono its just unity

but i guess il try anyway ty

[plain dagger]

If its general unity then can you share a video of whats happening?

[plain dagger]

It may be that there was never anything modelled under this part

[spice iris]

This is the problem

[plain dagger]

thus meaning someone needs to modify the model to add this

[spice iris]

When i take off her original clothes half of her body is not there

Maybe its the model

[plain dagger]

Yea im pretty sure its just that

so either source a new model or make one

or you/someone modifies the model to correct this stuff

[graceful rover]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. My name is Ali and I am looking for some information... Does anyone know where we can sell a Google Play Developer account? I have an account that was created in 2023 and I have used it for almost three years. I would like to sell this Play Store account, so if anyone has information or recommendations, please let me know.

Thank you.

[slow dirge]

Definitely not here. I'm not even sure it's legal, so you probably shouldn't be asking here.

[graceful rover]

sure

[dusty zenith]

anyone ever had collisions with the rigidbody2d break seemingly out of nowhere?

[balmy palm]

Sure.

[dusty zenith]

have any idea what might've caused it?

[vivid cedar]

No. If something stopped working it's due to something you changed.

[dusty zenith]

I have literally no idea what that could've been though. I've skimmed through anything relating to collisions twice now and it all looks exactly the same.

Same layers, same matrix, same settings on the components. I haven't changed a thing but the collisions have broken out of nowhere

[vivid cedar]

You need to share some details of the problem, otherwise anyone would be guessing wildly

For example what does "broken" collision mean?

[slow dirge]

It's also possible that your setup was broken from the start and it just didn't manifest for some reason(luck/chance/framerate)

[dusty zenith]

it's a rather simple setup in theory.

top down objects that shouldn't be able to collide with each other. Both have an RB2D, and a box collider 2D.

I created a "player" and "enemy" label just to see if that might do anything, it didn't.

these are the settings on both objects.

For some reason though the objects don't collide with each other. "Is trigger" when it's on doesn't do anything other than a different kind of collision that's also broken but I'll get to that after I've done this. And when it's off it doesn't fix the issue either.

It's as if somehow the project has swapped the rigidbody and the box colliders around with no way for me to figure out how to turn it back.

[vivid cedar]

Sorry, can you be more clear here?

• What are you expecting to happen?
• What is actually happening?

I can't tell if you are expecting them to collide, or not collide, and in what way the collisions are "broken"?

[dusty zenith]

when the objects bump into each other, they should collide. Right now they're just hovering over each other

[vivid cedar]

well you have trigger colliders

so that makes sense

when you say "collide" you mean physically blocking each other right?

[dusty zenith]

yes

[vivid cedar]

triggers are not physical colliders, they're just there to trigger OnTriggerEnter2D etc

[dusty zenith]

If I disable the colliders it doesn't change the issue

[vivid cedar]

if you disable the colliders then of course they won't collide

[dusty zenith]

the rigidbody isn't doing anything

[vivid cedar]

you need enabled, non-trigger colliders to collide

Rigidbodies don't collide without Colliders

Rigidbodies are not responsible for collision

they are responsible for the momentum part

so - so far everything sounds like it's working as expected

[dusty zenith]

I have no idea why this exact setup was working before then. All I did was restart my pc and once I opened it back up it broke

[vivid cedar]

It definitely wasn't working before

you are mistaken

[dusty zenith]

It was

[vivid cedar]

Or you had an extra collider or something you didn't notice

I assure you, there is no collision without colliders

and no collision with triggers

[tall hearth]

that or you had changed some stuff to make it work never saved the scene restarted and it went to a stage where it didnt work

[golden helm]

Guys Hi, I have question. I learning in colleague but unity I don't know like so properly, If I would learn it in fine lvl + collegue knowledges more like general programming would be it enough to get junior job?

[potent geyser]

Not in 2026, no. Having a standard level of knowledge on how Unity works is not enough to compete with the many many other people out there that have strong portfolios.

[worldly cave]

Experience is what gets you work in the industry

Not diplomas

[stuck flower]

And considering basically every person in the industry has been laid off at least once in the past year, you aren't likely to compete on experience

[exotic relic]

TBH have to face it, by the time experience would be gained from this starting point, AI will one click generate games lol

Google did something like that, a tool to generate a world and be able to play it like a game

That sort of stuff is neat but also sucks for the gaming market, gradually going to be saturated with ai content

[fleet canopy]

google genie is not a game engine

thing to remember

[exotic relic]

Unity just added ai into the editor, not sure how extensive that will go

[exotic relic]

Sure but there used to be nothing. Theres plenty of tools now and its not like its going to stop here.

[fleet canopy]

yeah but the difference between a tool and “magic” is that a tool can be used by people with lots of skills and backgrounds to tell their story. The AI is just telling you the average story of its training data.

a game can tell you a lot about the creator if they have the capability to use the tools at their disposal to their fullest potential

sure you can get a “game” from using these ai tools but the experience that’s made won’t be memorable or unique

[copper gust]

they do that for shareholder value, not development value

[exotic relic]

I can definitely agree with you on that. Although its gradually getting better, fast. To where content out there is almost indistinguishable. I don't want to argue about it, I am not picking a side. There are pros and cons.

[copper gust]

Im gonna be so honest if you think any of that content is almost indistinguible you are ignorant or outright stupid

i get cope about what it would be like in the future but the stuff right now? its not even close

thats closer to a lie

[exotic relic]

Depends on the content type

[copper gust]

well we are talking about games

so games

it looks just close enough to make bullshit investment value

[exotic relic]

Alright for games, you would have a tough time pulling it off with graphics or logos. Without looking at the code someone can easily have copy/pasted code or used generated shaders.

[copper gust]

so yes they are not close to indistinguible

thank you

[exotic relic]

Hmm but unreal engine just added a integrated ai system to generate terrain and vegetation plus blueprints

[storm patio]

really hope it does, it's getting annoying - well, it got annoying a long while ago

[copper gust]

code has been doing both those things for decade

you are falling for marketing built for idiots with money

[exotic relic]

I havent run into that much in games yet but when it comes to websites and other content, im annoyed with the ai stuff. markets getting spammed with new stuff that ppl just copy pasted

[storm patio]

oh also, nvidia's ceo apparently is doing some major backpedaling lol. i haven't followed news much so i don't know how much weight that holds but it's so funny

why do you think games would be any different then

it'll just be all the same slop in a new medium

neither people who want to play games nor people would want to make games care for that

[exotic relic]

They are cutting gaming GPU manufacturing more than half, because they are making more money from companies that purchase GPUs for AI datacenters

[exotic relic]

For sure, I wouldnt want to play AI games either

[storm patio]

and that is economic, not utilitarian

[exotic relic]

Right, off topic lol

[copper gust]

no thats on topic

its all a waste of time and money

[storm patio]

the ai centers are buying up all the gpus in bulk. it's a good short-term business decision, probably. it's just not something that will yield utilitarian products/services

[slow dirge]

While I do think the current state is still far from it, in some areas, I think AI has already reached that point where it is as good as human made. For example music. The latest Suno model is producing some crazy quality stuff. I would totally think it's something from the top of the charts made by a human artist of I heard that on the street.
So I think the claim that AI generated stuff is never gonna be as good as human generated is a bit of wishful thinking...

At least when compared to an average human. Not talking about extreme cases.

[copper gust]

this was the original claim for context

[exotic relic]

im losing a lot of sales on some content elsewhere because the market is getting saturated with new users posting purely generated content, hiding my genuine content. And the thing is, yes I spend months hand creating stuff, but the ai was able to create it instantly and looks better to customers.

[slow dirge]

I mean, why not. Maybe in 10, 50, 100 years it would.

[storm patio]

what a disappointing world that would be

[copper gust]

Getting the experience to be a junior programmer is not 10 years

[fleet canopy]

if you like making games, make games. If you want to see more genuine games, support game devs

If you don’t care about making games or supporting artists use ai.

You’ll be happy with your result no matter where on the spectrum you are.

[exotic relic]

lol yea music, theres sooo many ai songs posted on youtube and too many ppl dont see that it is actually just ai using that singers voice

[slow dirge]

Well, to be honest I feel like if your content is losing to AI today, then perhaps there is a lot of room for improvement.

[copper gust]

Music is indeed unfortunately cooked

The Weeknd - Timeless (feat. Playboi Carti) is a massive song with an ai verse 😞

[stoic lake]

most people who buy indie games (which would be your target consumer) would probably never buy AI games anyway surely

unless you mean going professional

[exotic relic]

I mean yea I can improve it, but what takes me countless hours of debugging, someone else skipped by just asking ai

[copper gust]

Means you need to improve on your debugging

Ai usually is pretty shit at debugging a lot of things aswell tbh

[storm patio]

you found a clear goal to improve on, nice

[slow dirge]

Well, modernize your approach. Use AI to assist you in coding/debugging/growing as a dev.
I don't see how purely AI coded games can win against a dev with at least average skills.

[exotic relic]

I wouldnt say thats exactly it. Its more based on time. Typing out a a book of code when someone else had it instantly made

[copper gust]

Make reusable code 😄

Fully ai generated chunks of code fall apart in the long term

[storm patio]

you don't copy your own code from past projects?

[exotic relic]

I do have a decade of experience with programming and general content creation. I have started to spend some time with ai and at first it was really shit and annoying, but by the end of 2025 the updates have really solved that, it is a super useful assistant. I definitely wont just copy / paste, I enjoy writing my own code, but drag/dropping in some scripts into the chat and it telling me where a certain error happened is nice

[storm patio]

anyways, imo quality is a much better metric than speed to aim for

solving my own problems is half the fun for me as well ngl

[copper gust]

The dream is to paint, not have paintings 😄

[slow dirge]

I'd recommend trying agentic coding. Drag and dropping stuff into chat gpt is extremely inefficient both in terms of speed and quality. I don't mean that you should let it write all your code base, but if you DO use AI to some extent, it's better to use it smart.

[exotic relic]

I didnt fully mean it literally but that its a very easy capability. I am smart with it for sure and I double check stuff, having real knowledge is extremely useful to break down problems and work aside not depend on it

Your points are great. And thats kind of where I see the term "ask dumb questions receive dumb answers" you have to know how to use it.

[noble locust]

how would a script look like if its purpose is to display the name of a selected file in a specific directory, without the file extension

i keep looking on youtube but i cant find what it is im looking for

[storm patio]

well, what's the input?

[noble locust]

it's for an ingame radio, so there's a play/pause, skip back, and skip forward

and i want the names of the files being played to show up on the text format

[storm patio]

i mean the input for this functionality specifically

an AudioClip?

[noble locust]

an mp3 yeah

[storm patio]

have you tried .name

[spice locust]

Is there any way to customize color of text/labels of game objects in Prefab view?

The option with colors in second image doesn't work here

[noble locust]

what i meant is how do i get it to reference the directory?

i mean am i able to just reference a folder from a script??

especially if different people have their own folders

[storm patio]

you want the whole filepath, or what exactly?

[noble locust]

yeah because radio mp3 files are found in a specific folder in the game files

so ideally id get the names of those files and then display the name of whichever one is selected

i think they're in alphabetical order

but if there's a way to directly get the name of the one being used by the game's script for this function then even better

[storm patio]

that's what .name would do iirc

get it from the audioclip

[noble locust]

Alright thank you

[storm patio]

hi, this isn't a social space, if you'd like to introduce yourself you can do so in #🤝┃introductions

[buoyant ridge]

oh damn my bad

i saw the "general" category and assumed this was the general chat (because there isnt one)

[storm patio]

most of the channels here are help channels

[buoyant ridge]

oookay then

[latent meadow]

there are many free tools to help in the Asset Store, but i do not know, off the top of my head, the name of a specific one.

[spice locust]

Alright thanks, I wonder why it's not an option in Unity

[latent meadow]

i honestly think that sometimes Unity leaves UI things unfinished in an attempt to open a market for content creators.. bah, whom i kidding 😄

[lapis gate]

You can say that for the majority of tools

[glossy cairn]

how cvan i make image 1 to 16 a animation

[lapis gate]

unity's particle systems usually have a flipbook option

[glossy cairn]

how and where can i find it

[lapis gate]

you can also just use the animator too

Ah, flipbook requires it to be an atlas, so individual images wouldnt work. Use the timeline/animator

[glossy cairn]

how do i do that

ty gng because i came to the support part of the server to go to google

[lapis gate]

There's a point where you need to do your own research

if you have questions about the module, then feel free to ask then

Alternatively you can just make your own script that cycles the images

[storm patio]

select all > create > animation

[storm patio]

but also, this is definitely true

[lapis gate]

Problem with just making the animation you also need a controller for a single animation, so there's a bit more to it all.

Really Unity's timeline is a little convoluted for simple things

[tender thicket]

i couldve sworn build settings was under file

[tender thicket]

oh did the menu change for unity6?

[storm patio]

yeah

[undone monolith]

what does this error mean?

[copper gust]

what about it don't you understand

[undone monolith]

what does it mean?

[copper gust]

did you write the code related to the error

[undone monolith]

i didn't start writing any code. This is a new project

[copper gust]

no

[deft rock]

It's not a new project that.. it's got assets in already

[copper gust]

that screenshot is incompatible with that statement

[deft rock]

Is it the input system demo project?

or an asset from the store?

[undone monolith]

yeah

[copper gust]

then you inform the author of that asset

[undone monolith]

the heck?

[deft rock]

I wouldn't have thought that could get through review 🤔

Unless you edited the code

[undone monolith]

i just wanna get rid of the error. Any possible fixes?

[deft rock]

yes, of course

[undone monolith]

I haven't started coding yet

[deft rock]

the error tells you that something is not valid (cannot be done).
it tells you were it can be done.
the fix is to ... remove the thing that cannot be done.

Double click the error, wait for it to open the correct script and ... do what's required.

You don't need to have done any coding before to understand that, it's just logic and language comprehension.

[deft rock]

1- that's not how to share code
2- what do you expect to get from sharing it?

[undone monolith]

idc abt question 1
about question 2, what is the issue here?

[deft rock]

1- you won't get help then, respect the rules and other peoples time.
2- the issue is the same as explained in the error.

[copper gust]

camelcase properties is an interesting choice

[storm patio]

it's the unity choice

[frail rain]

what is the best DOTS/ECS tutorial for absolute beginner?

[storm patio]

not saying it's the correct choice, but it's not unfounded

[copper gust]

fair..

[frail rain]

not seeing any clear guide from officials overall

saw one here

[storm patio]

1 - i literally couldn't help you if i wanted to because of that choice lmao

[undone monolith]

are you referring to the #💻┃code-beginner channel?

Hey what does this error mean?

[silent mica]

The one you have selected or the input ones?

[undone monolith]

I fixed it dw

I had to set my input system to both instead of new

[storm patio]

no, i'm referring to you not posting code properly

[viscid raft]

Can't be bothered to help if you can't be bothered to share the code properly

If you have a code question then please do the bare minimum of sharing the relevant part of the code using the basic formatting Discord provides instead of a wall of white text

[gray bloom]

hello in what scenario should i enable these what drawback these bring if i disable all?

[nova brook]

these are checked by default.

[gray bloom]

what if i ddont?

[nova brook]

i dont know its drawbacks but i think keeping it to default is a good practice

[plain dagger]

The benefit of adding things like some packages is that you can better debug their code (as they are included in the project generation)

When not enabled the files are not included and thus treated as misc files

[gray bloom]

i dont get it, you mean i can see the source code if i tick them? i can still see the cs code files with them on and off idk

[nova brook]

wait whats the problem if you keep them default

[gray bloom]

i just open a repo any realize it flooded with those .csproj

dont like it, so im wondering waht if i dont have any of them

[nova brook]

but they are helpful i think

keep them default , Risk free way

[gray bloom]

oh misc files as in when open they appear as single file and wont show usage in other script ?

[plain dagger]

no and what?
It just means that the files are not included in the vs/rider project so are not analysed

if you open a random file not in the opened project vs will say "miscellaneous files"

[gray bloom]

im have all off rn and open a script in packages section, it still looks like normal script to me

no saying nothing

[plain dagger]

yes it can open the file and show the text

meh i give up

[gray bloom]

fr

[stuck flower]

Do you understand the difference between a configured and unconfigured IDE

Like how that actually affects the way it works

[gray bloom]

like this? it show as a single script not as a script in a project ?

[stuck flower]

It has no syntax highlighting, error checking, usage detection, codelens, or suggestions.

It turns your decked out IDE full of features that make coding less of a pain and turns it into Notepad with fonts

[gray bloom]

yea ik i said that right? but he said no so i assume opposite
anw i have those off but i can still see this script in the packages section referencing to other script, i can still click on method that lead to other scripts

[vivid cedar]

registering what?

[true cypress]

registering a new account

[stable owl]

Hi
How to make line span in rich text in Unity?
For some reason </br> didnt work 🙁

[vivid cedar]

what kind of account?

[vivid cedar]

You mean.. .a line break?

A regular line break / newline character will do the trick.

[true cypress]

free personal account; im migrating from a different dev platform due to it being limited and it didnt require my full name so im wondering just in case 😊

[worldly cave]

I cant think of a reason not to.

[gritty ravine]

Anyone else getting 'Error refreshing assets' on 'My Assets' in package manager atm?

[vivid cedar]

are you signed in properly?

[stable owl]

no it wont work too

[vivid cedar]

Works for me

possibly it's due to your other settings on the object

[gritty ravine]

Yeah. I even quit, signed out, reopened and signed back in. Still not refreshing today. Worked yesterday same project.

[vivid cedar]

Does it give any more info about the error if you look in the console windpow?

[stable owl]

no it's not text mesh pro
i just regular text
sad

[vivid cedar]

why not TMP

[gritty ravine]

No

[stable owl]

i actualy dont know i just make script so UI isnot my

[vivid cedar]

ok actually I'm getting an error too

mine just says "Refresh error"

[vivid cedar]

There is no good reason to use legacy Text

[gritty ravine]

Interesting. I get 'There are no assets' in the asset list area. Then at the bottom by the refresh button, it says 'Error refreshing assets'. Weird that the Unity status page is all green though

[gray frigate]

uh oh, is it happening again

I can refresh my assets in the Package Manager window

[willow barn]

Does anyone know if I can get the PC, Mac, Linux Standalone build on unity 6 or was that replaced by something else. I worked with unity 2022 a year ago and idk what changed

[gritty ravine]

Might be a version thing? Although I doubt services matter for Unity versions come to think of it

[gray frigate]

Sounds like you're missing the modules for macOS and Linux

I see that they've split those three platforms into their own entries in the new Build Profiles system

[vivid cedar]

You always had to pick a target platform when using that though anyway, no?

so it would now be identical to just having a Windows build, a Linux build, or a Mac build

[willow barn]

oh alr i thought there was a universal build or something

[vivid cedar]

nah

[gritty ravine]

So the assets refresh did eventually give a error log: "[Package Manager Window] Error while getting product update details: 502 Bad Gateway. Something went wrong. Please try again later" - 502. lol

[vivid cedar]

sounds like a server side issue

Unity has to fix it

[willow barn]

How would I know if the grahics will break on different platforms. I only have windows and I dont have a linux or mac

[willow barn]

cuz alot of my grahics are ray tracing

[vivid cedar]

Test it.

Get a friend to test it for you
Rent a virtual machine
etc

[vernal prawn]

Guessing I can get help here.

I'm making an enemy that moves constantly and throws a Cogwheel as a projectile. I've set up the avatars correctly (Generic. It worked before, so this should work as well) The blend tree works just fine.
The problem is that the arms don't move, and when they do they override the bottom and additive adds to the t-pose from the walk.
More can be seen in the video (sry for the low quality)

if there are any further questions please ask I really need this fixed

what's going on with the unity package management servers

i'm getting a 502

[deft rock]

Status page says everything is ok: https://status.unity.com/

Just wait and try later, could be something between you and the server

[agile path]

our whole publisher profile seems to be gone

but it's still up in the Asset Store

!status

:gear: Unity Services Status ↗

[gray dirge]

There seems to be some problems with the services regardless what those status sites say. Not much we can do other than wait

[dark star]

i don't understand why its' green across the board

it's definitely not green

a simple service heartbeat would prove that it's not green, so how is that status page set up?

if a backend server fails to respond, that service status page should update

[reef dome]

cause it usually takes some retries until a service page goes red, and for big services them going red is a manual thing, only the internal tools ring alarm bells automatically

[vivid cedar]

In my experience a company-wide status page like that is almost always updated manually based on internal incidents.
