[dark star]

it was a rhetorical question, this status page is clearly updated manually. it has been down for an hour now

[vivid cedar]

Yeah it's bad, they should have updated it.

If they were our client they would have 😛

[dark star]

thankfully it does look like they heard my pleas and it did just resolve and start downloading a package

dreadful speed, but at least there's progress

[pulsar mirage]

Package manager is not able to see any of my assets. Tried with 2 versions of Unity.

[craggy pollen]

did you try a resinging in

from the hub

[pulsar mirage]

Closed Unity, signed out of the hub, signed back in, reopened my project in Unity and still can't load any assets.

[stuck flower]

Multiple people reporting issues with the package manager, it might be an intermittent outage

[pulsar mirage]

working now

spoke too soon. The projects show up but I can't download any

and loading the list of assets is no longer working.

[broken viper]

Same, not a local issue

This has been happening on and off now the past few weeks

[gray frigate]

It was working a little while ago, but now it's borked for me

it's spinning forever for me

[broken viper]

Would assume its top priority since keeping servers up to download purchases (taking a nice % cut for) is kind of a minimum

[turbid finch]

hi

how are you all going ?

[placid osprey]

Turning up with the same issue as this, at least im not the only one so I'll leave it to you guys

[stuck flower]

Yeah, nothing any of us can do but wait

[turbid finch]

uhh hi

how are you all ?

[agile path]

woops

[deft rock]

the asset store is having issues, this section of the PM will be affected

[compact spindle]

probably a dumb question, but how would I go about getting x years available dates? since things vary depending on the year I'd like to have some sort of system that automatically gets the dates that exist for a birthdate dropdown

gonna have 3 dropdowns for year month and day that would get autofilled

[gray frigate]

There's gotta' be a C# library for this

you could install it using NuGet For Unity, or by just throwing it into your Assets folder manually

(it wouldn't be designed specifically for Unity)

[pearl oyster]

Maybe I didn't understand the question but what exactly varies? Every year has the same dates, except leap years that have one extra day in February. The only thing that varies are the weekdays but you wouldn't need those when asking for a birth date

[compact spindle]

the available days in the month would (I'm p sure lmao), also for other date related things it'd be nice to be able to refer to what day of the week corresponds to the actual number of the day

[pearl oyster]

Days in the month vary by month, not year

[compact spindle]

true true, still though, having the weekday to date info would be good to have lol

[storm patio]

i mean, they do vary by year too

anyways does this even need a library

these are usually baked into the language's standard lib

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.dayofweek?view=net-10.0

get the value for the first day and extrapolate

[compact spindle]

oh sick

honestly

no idea why just using the date functions didn't come to mind, was definitely overcomplicating it I think, like I knew they existed, but couldn't piece together how to actually make use of it

thank you

[boreal river]

@turbid finch Hey! Dοn't get these guys wrong here ok, it's just they way the server works and the mindset more specifically ok because there is no General or Off-topic channel its Game Dev related specifically.

[weary portal]

maybe #🤝┃introductions works for that

🐢

[gray frigate]

The server lacks a general chat deliberately! see #1180178376028327936 message

[weary portal]

yea makes sense

[balmy palm]

right. Just maybe.

[raven cloud]

Guys I need help. is it really impossible to zoom out in game with cinemachine? ;-;

[deft rock]

no

[raven cloud]

no matter what I do the orthographic size changes but nothing happens

I'm doing it with a coroutine throught code

[plain dagger]

the gizmo changed proving it worked but something else is up to cause the game view to not change visually

[stuck flower]

Are you using sprites or a canvas

[plain dagger]

looks like some sprite is there?

[alpine flare]

is anyone else having issues getting into asset store?

getting a msg "try signing in with a diff account"

[balmy palm]

Personally. I wrote my own zoom function for the camera using smoothdamp to make it smooth and natural.

You can do that too, if you really need it to do that.

[plain dagger]

cool but doesnt matter in this case does it?

[balmy palm]

What i’m saying is that it’s not that hard to write at all.

[stuck flower]

Presumably, you'd be using smoothdamp to change the orthographic size

[balmy palm]

Yeah. You can also change the sphere’s sizes if you don’t want the fov to change. But i used the orthographic values as well.

[stuck flower]

Right, which isn't much help if changing the orthographic size isn't doing what they want it to do

Most likely because it's in a canvas as isn't actually being rendered by a camera at all

[balmy palm]

Thanks for explaining. Yeah i see that now. I’m sorry for not checking.

[gray frigate]

at least, a "Screen Space - Overlay" canvas isn't

and a "Screen Space - Camera" canvas is automatically positioned in front of the camera

(i don't think the orthographic size would matter in that case, either)

[plain dagger]

guess we will never know but seems strange to do all that in UGUI and use a sprite of some kind too

Though I have worked on games where it was all in UGUI but thats not always great

[raven cloud]

Sorry for the late response! Yes everything in the scene is a sprite game object, not in a canvas

[plain dagger]

make sure you are changing the correct cinemachine camera and not one thats not even active.
Also are you using camera stacking and perhaps forgot to change those too?

[raven cloud]

not at all, just a very simple setup. I'm only using 1 camera

[plain dagger]

if you are changing the ortho size on the correct cinemachine camera then there is no reason for things to not work if just using plain old sprite renderers

remember that the highest priority one will be active and used by the brain

[raven cloud]

Huh! I tried it on a different scene and It works so I'd have to look into what's stopping it

[stuck flower]

Try searching t: CinemachineVirtualCamera while the game is running

[raven cloud]

like this?

[plain dagger]

in the hierachy search box but that should work too

[stuck flower]

In the hierarchy

[plain dagger]

new search is prone to taking fucking years

time to re index the whole project again! 😐

[raven cloud]

welp, It's there lol

I'll just delete the camera and cm and create them again, see how that goes

omg...

it was the pixel perfect component all along 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[plain dagger]

aha makes sense!

[raven cloud]

guess I'll just get rid of it but now my pixels are wavy when the camera moves lol

[crisp harbor]

HI I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find people to work together on a game? Current experience is beginner.

[torn mulch]

feeling a bit lazy today, so I made this quick and easy main menu theme for my friend’s tactical fps game. He told me he wanted it to be “stealth but atmospheric”

[crisp harbor]

I really like this!

[lucid harness]

should i remake my map. i think it looks pretty bad\

[little sapphire]

uhm I don't even know what Im looking at 🤔

[bold wolf]

>Custom materials work in editor 100% fine
>Only one works in build
>Have already added the materials to the 'Always Included Shaders' list in the Graphics settings, which had no effect.

I am going insane trying to fix this, using the built-in pipeline btw

[slow dirge]

How does it "not work"? Is the object with the material not rendered at all? Is it rendered in pink? Did you try investigating with a frame debugger?

Does the build use the same quality settings as the editor?

[bold wolf]

It was rendered pink, I JUST managed to fix it by editing the shader, changed a line from shader_feature to multi_compile

[elfin iris]

I want the server to make a job post to my rev shared profit to my team

[gray frigate]

multi_compile forces unity to compile variants for all keywords; shader_feature only compiles variants that are used in your materials

if you change keywords at runtime, multi_compile is the safer bet

[smoky estuary]

hi anyone here worked with articulation bodies before? My lil robot keeps flying off into space anytime i hit play and I can't figure out why, there isn't any collider interference at least that I can see

[exotic relic]

Does it run by code? Have you made sure it’s properly checking being grounded

Some ppl have characters that continuously go up since it never set the grounded to false

[smoky estuary]

it's behaving like it starts intersecting something and flies off into the distance, I think i had my anchors wacky so i'm redoing them right now

but in general, it's very jumpy and even when it does land on the ground, small movements cause the whole obejct to bounce around

i'll record an example in a second

[smoky estuary]

@exotic relic

[exotic relic]

Cool stuff!! Can you show a pic of the inspector showing the parent features

[exotic relic]

Click on Base v2, what’s on it

[smoky estuary]

each part is hierarchical to the one it's attached to

[exotic relic]

No I mean what scripts and animations

[smoky estuary]

oh here

[exotic relic]

If you disable the script and press play does it still fly away

[smoky estuary]

I don't modify any of the transform properties in the script, it just sets target angles for child elements

[exotic relic]

There’s a checkbox on the script

[smoky estuary]

yeah it still does

[exotic relic]

Still flies? Ok on the body settings above disable gravity checkbox and see if it flies away. If it doesn’t fly away enable gravity and increase the mass from 1 to 100 to test

[smoky estuary]

mass of only the base or mass of every part?

still flies w/ no gravity

[exotic relic]

Ok keep gravity checkbox enabled and that Mass setting above, just to actually test increase that to 100 and see if it flies as much

[smoky estuary]

it flies less

[exotic relic]

Ok great. So it seems that it’s walking on Mars, needs more weight

You can try increasing the Mass more. But not too much, there may be a second cause

[smoky estuary]

i'm just wondering why it spins as well

[exotic relic]

I’m not seeing the gizmos, is the collider huge? I saw the ball move too

[smoky estuary]

only collider is 4 capsule colliders on the legs:

otherwise it flies thru the floor

[exotic relic]

Sorry for so many questions it’s tough to guess.
I see.

[smoky estuary]

yeah no worries

i think it's something with resolving contraints at the start? since if i let it go down afterwards it's just fine

but I don't see anything moving

[exotic relic]

Wonder two things, if the script is forcing new settings on the body component, and if it still goes crazy if you play with the body module disabled

[smoky estuary]

script has been off the whole time

[exotic relic]

Ah. And with the body module disabled how does it behave

[smoky estuary]

hm i think i found the issue

if i disable the body module on these 4 components it doesn't fly away

[exotic relic]

And does it walk fine? You could try a different method of handling it

[smoky estuary]

ok more developments, only the far right one seems to make it spin

if i enable the other 3 it's fine

[exotic relic]

Honestly just keep testing settings!

Watch those behavior changes

[smoky estuary]

ok we're saved

ty

for some reason

the target was set to 360 instead of 0

which i guess caused the crazy movement

[robust spire]

Hi

[thorny loom]

Good morning.

I'm looking to make a 3D model appear inside another 3D model, such as a taking a spaceship and making the cockpit visual while inside it.

I believe I have to use a custom URP Shader Graph, but I'm not sure what method to use exactly, and the instructions I've found online so far haven't been helpful.

Could you please let me know if the #1390346776804069396 channel is the correct place to ask for assistance, or is there something else I should be doing?

[latent meadow]

so you mean, for example, they see the ship from the outside, click the ship, then they are in the cockpit and can see, say, the bow of the ship?

spolier, the answer is generally, 'Fake it;

[thorny loom]

I don't want to change the camera position or view. The Camera is looking at the outside of a spaceship, and if they select the spaceship, they can see inside it, such as the 3D cockpit model, engines, etc...

[ocean pumice]

So you want some kind of xray shader?

[latent meadow]

you can either just make the spaceship and the cockpit one big ol model (or a couple models) and have the 'windshield' be transparent/lucent, or you could use a series of images layed out in a parallax configuration.. i can imagine Many ways to do it..

[ocean pumice]

Some reference image would be good to know. Do you want a mask to be on the spot of your mouse, do you want your hull to be xray transparent or the insides to be xray. What exactly do you want to achieve?

[thorny loom]

Hmm. Let me see if I can make a example image, although I'm not sure how to make the spaceship model transparent enough to show another model inside it.

[latent meadow]

still confused as to if you mean x-ray or 'window'

[ocean pumice]

Thats not really a technical question tho. Its more of a visual decision of what YOU want to show actually.

[latent meadow]

but yes, transparency would be defined in the shader based on the mask/texture info. or the whole material, for the entire thing being 'faded'

[thorny loom]

Per say I have these 2 3d models, and I want it so that any model I move inside the spaceship model is still visible. Such as a part of the spaceship becoming transparent, so you can see the cockpit model inside it?

[latent meadow]

and you want this for gameplay, or in the editor to help you place things?

[ocean pumice]

Than you gotta draw it on top of the spaceship shell mesh. Either by shader, or by a second camera to still keep depth working inbetween the meshes inside of your ship. If I get you right there

[thorny loom]

I've been trying to use the URP shader method, but I can't figure it out.

[thorny loom]

In-game

[latent meadow]

i'd suggest taking your now clarified question (the screenshots and all), and heading to your initial thought #1390346776804069396

[ionic crystal]

sorry if this is the wrong place but for some reason my free licence was revoked and when i go into add licence and click free personal licence, nothing happens

i emailed support but yet to get a response and this is for a class so i need to fix it as fast as i can

[ocean pumice]

Try removing hub entirely and reinstall, maybe get a previous version of it.

[ionic crystal]

ah, i'll try that then come back

wait wont my project files dissapear too?

[latent meadow]

from being listed in hub, yes. you re-add them. from your system, no, unless you make a BIG mistake.

i suggest googling for step by step instructions. it will show you how to clear the cache too

[ionic crystal]

got it

[fluid jay]

Hello
Why can't i play/preview the sound when im browsing.

[ocean pumice]

You can only do so in the inspector when selecting the sound directly afaik

[fluid jay]

yes i can autoplay the sound in inspector, but its not previewing when im browsing to select.

[ocean pumice]

As I said, it is not possible... it will not load every sound in the preview. same as it does not show a 3d preview for every mesh you can rotate and look at.

[fluid jay]

ok

[ocean pumice]

I guess its just a thing of performance over convenience

[fluid jay]

i think what can i do is a make a Test-PlaySound button in scriptable object,

[ocean pumice]

Why not just use the project folder view to test sounds?

[fluid jay]

Done its working now,
I need this cause i have to lock in soundManager in inspector to replace sound and if i dont like the sound i have to unlock and find the sound againa, go back to soundmanager and find the sound

Like this,
This makes it so easier now

Thanks anyway 💟

i can play test the sound in inspector dont even have to play 🤓

[polar basalt]

what would be the best way to make particles in UI?

make something like confetti throwing out as if its a particle emision system, but have it have gravity too

There are libraries that convert regular particle systems to UI space like this one: https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI

thx brother

[polar basalt]

also one more question, does anyone know how to make particle system's particles not be influenced by their parent that moves?

i kind of forgot how to do this

[deft rock]

change to world space instead of local

oh you have it on local 🤔

[polar basalt]

it is, look at the video

[polar basalt]

scaling mode?

well that should do anything anyways to my problem, it is world space

[deft rock]

I did mean simulation mode, that should leave the fx where it spawned

[polar basalt]

well, as you can see it moves it

if you know what my issue is pls help, but i will respond later, gotta go for 5 hours brb

[deft rock]

These are the settings I have, but it's for a gameobject not RectTransform... if that makes a difference

[latent meadow]

#1180170818983051344 or #🏆┃daily-win is the place to post that

[sly lake]

I can find no tells that it might be AI art

[misty wadi]

Has anyone had issues in the Unity6.3 editor like this?
When ending play mode, a specific object in my assets is automatically selected, for example the Readme file. This is very annoying, as the Inspector switches to that new object. When tweaking a specific go, I always have to manually reselect it...

[slow dirge]

Yeah. Has been happening to me lately as well. On 6.3.

[misty wadi]

Yep, 6.3

[thorny charm]

why doesnt my button button

[gray frigate]

You may have another UI object blocking it

[thorny charm]

help please anyone

[gray frigate]

looks can be deceptive

If you're using the old input manager, then you can look at your Event System object while the game is running

you'll see information about the currently-pointed-at thing in its preview pane

[gray frigate]

hm, that should be okay

Canvas objects render top to bottom

I forget if the text could be eating the click or not

You can find out by deactivatign the button's child

[thorny charm]

probably not

[thorny charm]

do i miss something maybe?

[gray frigate]

annoyingly, the new input system doesn't provide the same information

Oh, is there an Event System in your scene at all?

[thorny charm]

no

i forgot about it

[gray frigate]

Create one from GameObject > UI > Event System

Unity creates one for you when you add new UI objects, but you might've removed it

The Event System handles all uGUI events

[thorny charm]

it works

i copied the UI into the new scene cuz i found out you can do in in another cnese so

i forgot to get the event manager

[gray frigate]

Ah, that'll do it!

[thorny charm]

whyd you type it like that

[gray frigate]

If you have many different UIs that you load and unload, it's handy to put an EventSystem in the DontDestroyOnLoad scene

[gray frigate]

you mean the EventSystem? That's the name of the actual component

[thorny charm]

no i mean "Ah, that'll do it!"

like an AI or osmething

🧐

[gray frigate]

I like my exclamations :p

[thorny charm]

oh alright

ill keep an I on you

#1180170818983051344

[thorny charm]

i had this problem for a while and i tried alot, how do i fix this someone please explain

[unique venture]

Im having a weird issue. I like to keep all my assets organized in folders. I had to delete an asset from the folder so I could replace it with an updated version. Now im unable to drag that same asset back into its folder.

The new version that is

Anyone know what the problem is?

[vivid cedar]

Looks like your code is telling him to look in that direction

[storm patio]

what happens when you try?

[unique venture]

i get that red symbol. ya know the red circle with a line through it. like ill drag it to the folder, and then that symbol shows and nothing happens.

[hazy mesa]

why the fuck does unity keep using 10GB of RAM?

• Memory profiler says it's only using 4-6GB, with 90% of that 4-6GB of memory being from the editors various native objects (i.e. not from me).
• Task manager shows it using 10GB (as-well as 5 editor processes? I have no idea if that's normal. There's only 1 window. Ending any them causes the entire editor to close)
• No complaints of memory leaking from native objects in the console
• The open scene has no effect on the amount of memory usage. Changing to an empty scene doesn't change the memory usage at all

It's becoming almost impossible to work on my project because Unity will eventually crash due to no memory (as-well as taking almost any other open program with it because it took up the majority of my 32GB of RAM). I have no idea why it's using this much memory. This isn't an intensive project and the entire assets folder comes in at around 150MB.

[storm patio]

what kind of file are you trying to drag in?

oh wait i think ive heard about this before

what OS are you on?

[unique venture]

im trying to drag in everything pertaining to the asset. the FBX, some PNG textures, a prefab of the fbx that has all the components on it that are needed for the game. and some icons of the asset that show in-game. its never a problem if its a new asset. this only happens if i need to update an asset. ill delete everything from the folder to replace it with the updated versions. although, everything has the same name of course. im using windows 11.

[storm patio]

don't you usually get those as a unitypackage?

or imported via the package manager

[unique venture]

nah, i made these assets myself from scratch.

[storm patio]

in a separate project?

[thorny charm]

Alright so I just disable it in the Y direction I think then?

[unique venture]

i model it in substance modeler, texture it in substance painter and then export it from there. then i just import everything into my unity project. then i put everything pertaining to that asset into a folder. @storm patio

[storm patio]

i see, so no .meta files?

[unique venture]

correct

[vivid cedar]

you need to fix your code to make him look the direction you actually want him to look in

[storm patio]

i don't think you'd want to import them then. assuming you have all the same file layout/structure, you would probably want to replace the assets directly and keep the existing meta files, otherwise the existing usage of those assets would break

[inner bluff]

I can't find the proper channel.
I'm working with some folks making a game for their thesis
They aren't game developers, never touched Unity
When I build the game it runs completely fine on my end. On theirs it breaks
So I'm trying to build a development build to see where it's going wrong.
Where is the .exe on dev builds? It's not in the main folder and I can't find it anywhere.

[radiant pewter]

we've got an issue with the editor crashing on launch on our group project on a branch, any idea what could be the cause?

it crashes instantly, seemingly before any of our code could even run

[unique venture]

the assets work just fine after i update them. unity just wont let me place them into the same folder anymore. even if i make a new folder, i still cant place them in the new one. the really weird thing is that unity will let me place those things into an old folder that i already have a different asset in.

[storm patio]

have you tried restarting unity or a library reset?

[storm patio]

ime dev builds have the same structure as normal builds, but that's for webgl.. builds go to the folder you specify, have you checked there?

[inner bluff]

the .exe's supposed to be right there, right?

maybe a “constraint” could be processing power? you could amend this by deleting parts the user won’t be able to see and regenerating them when they go back

[meager ravine]

Yeah, that makes sense — performance and memory pressure are definitely real constraints, especially if generation happens at runtime. Streaming / regenerating unseen chunks seems to be where a lot of systems end up.

In your experience, did that approach introduce more issues around state consistency (e.g. re-entering areas, AI/navmesh rebuilding), or was the overhead mostly manageable once chunk boundaries were well defined?

[worldly cave]

i think the "AI" portion is going to be your biggest overhead here

[fleet canopy]

there were certainly consistency problems but those could be stored by having information related to states of objects in that space (like collected or broken) stored somewhere to be accessed (if data doesn’t exist it generates like new)

[meager ravine]

That’s fair — I don’t see the AI as the “heavy” part doing everything, more as a decision layer on top of fairly traditional constraints.

From your experience, was the overhead more about runtime cost, tooling complexity, or just debugging behavior when things went wrong?

[lucid saddle]

Chat, wish me lucckkkk im coming to unity with a 4 gb ram laptop

[meager ravine]

Yeah, that makes sense — persisting state outside the generated space seems unavoidable once streaming/regeneration is involved.

Did you find that state management itself stayed manageable, or did things start getting messy once AI/navmesh/state all had to re-sync on re-entry?

[fleet canopy]

server doesn’t allow off topic… but good luck lol

#1249155543264657408 might help in future though

[fleet canopy]

I didn’t have ai or navmesh sorry so I can’t answer on that

[worldly cave]

i think by ai they litterally mean like an llm of some kind

and not pathfinding™

[fleet canopy]

they did include navmesh

[radiant pewter]

super weird, but I think something that was referenced in an animation was removed, and that was causing all of Unity to break

[fleet canopy]

was it a render texture?

those seem to break unity quite a bit

oh wait I’m stupid nvm it was animation ignore

[radiant pewter]

it was some custom class

but turns out it wasn't it 😢

I just tried to open one of our scenes and it crashed again lol

[plain dagger]

Hopefully you can go back to earlier commits till it stops and undo the change?

If no backups, i guess delete the file and learn a lesson (then report the bug)

[radiant pewter]

we can yeah, I'm just curious to figure it out

that error gets spammed though but I know new users just dont read and understand errors

"shits fucked"
hmm what could it mean

[shadow heron]

I finally got my trajectory line setup and the question is how can I get the ball to follow this line while still having physics? I am going to be throwing the ball it should follow the line while still having physics.

[worldly cave]

youre sort of doing it backwards no?

the trajectory line should follow the balls expected movement, not the other way around

seems like much less of a headache at least

[radiant pewter]

why is this script field accessible in the inspector? I've never seen this before

[worldly cave]

iirc thats always there but hidden

[radiant pewter]

that's what I mean

[worldly cave]

did you update the editor?

[radiant pewter]

I've never seen it editable

[worldly cave]

oh

are you using some kind of property drawers?

or custom editor scripts?

[radiant pewter]

I don't think so - seems to be just a regular monobehaviour with 1 interface

[stiff quest]

I would say u are in debug mode of inspector but top component looks like normal

[radiant pewter]

• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

[jagged sage]

im literally not using input in my code wth

[radiant pewter]

ok 2 questions: why is this changing every commit*, and why did it cause the entire editor to crash lol

[jagged sage]

oh nvm

found it

[fading ravine]

Stupid question. I have single object prefab, all set and ready, now I need to have it positioned slightly up, eg change Y position. So I need to create a parent object and then I can change the Y position. But how do I create a parent object in the prefab? I can create child object, but cannot rearrange.

[ornate dock]

Who likes biscuits 🤚?

[storm patio]

this is not a social space

[shadow heron]

wdym? if the trajectory line follows the ball expected movement then how would the ball move in the same path as the line? kinda confused.

[worldly cave]

The ball moves how it moves

You then draw the trajectory based on that

[storm patio]

couldn't you move the pivot of whatever content you have inside the prefab instead

[worldly cave]

You dont draw the trajectory first and make the ball follow it

Thats inefficient

[ornate dock]

Sorry.

[storm patio]

you figure out the intended trajectory, and then you make both the ball and the preview line follow that

[fading ravine]

How do I do that? With "pivot" you mean creating separate object?

[storm patio]

no

ok let me ask this - why do you need to move the prefab up?

[ornate dock]

Any course out there for making fighting game on youtube?🤔

[fading ravine]

I have explosion effect, like a animated sprite sheet, its gameobject position is in the center, I want to spawn it on the ground and not clip it, so I need to move it up, so I can spawn directly on the ground position it without adjusting the position in the world

[ornate dock]

....................?

[fading ravine]

I just need to create parent object for the Explosion object in the prefab on the left

Alternative is that I need to redo the whole prefab, which is kind of annoying, have had this issue before

[ornate dock]

Fine I will do it myself.😑

[stuck flower]

Did you consider looking for one

Youtube has a search button, you know

[ornate dock]

I didn't get any good course for making fighting game on unity. I only find ue4.27.

[stuck flower]

Did you try including the word "unity"

[storm patio]

have you tried searching

oh whoops you were already told

[storm patio]

huh why's this a mesh and why does it have a collider

if it were a sprite you could just move the pivot of the sprite quite easily

i'm not sure how you would do so with a mesh

[jagged sage]

can anyone help? despite no errors it doesnt work

[storm patio]

is the code being run?

add some logs to make sure it's being reached

[stuck flower]

In what way is it not working

[jagged sage]

lemme try

it doesnt run at all after pressing C

[jagged sage]

doesnt register the input

[stuck flower]

What function is this in

[fading ravine]

Good question, this is what happens when you let claude instruct how to create sprite sheet animation. I'll fix that. BTW, claude was more than happy to create a copy of the prefab with the root node added.

[storm patio]

pretty sure that breaks references

maybe don't use AI lmao

[fading ravine]

it can fix the refs

done it many times

[storm patio]

sure man, whatever

insane diff churn

[fading ravine]

😄 I know what you mean, I have been able to prototype within couple of weeks more than with 2 months without AI

[storm patio]

i don't think you do

[jagged sage]

i just relized i accidentally put it under other function

thanks

[polar basalt]

even if transform it does move

does anyone not know how to fix this?

sorry for reposting but its been like 10 hours already

[fading ravine]

You want the particle system run in world coords not in local?

[polar basalt]

i want moving the parent to not move the particles, i think its because i have UI Particle, i might need to research into it more, its def because of that

[jagged sage]

Did some research
Turns out CharacterController doesnt scale like that

[radiant pewter]

how do you access the clips from audio random container via code?

[hazy mesa]

Anyone able to answer this? Would love to continue working on my project without the risk of Unity crashing my computer.

[hazy mesa]

In classic fashion, I immediately found a solution after posting this. Turns out the extra editor subprocesses I could see in task manager were workers for the parallel import feature inside project settings. Disabling it made my memory usage drop to normal (2-3GB). Not entirely sure why the workers for the parallel importer need 700MB of memory per worker.

[tropic pecan]

Hello can someone teach me or dm me how the classes work in unity in c# im confused

[storm patio]

we don't do DMs here
classes in unity aren't much different from classes in c# in general, have you tried looking for guides or explanations online?

there are some courses pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[vivid cedar]

that's a pretty vague question. Is there a specific thing about classes you don't understand?

[tropic pecan]

yeah, why a class Player, dont have to be public or whatever and i can see it in another scripts

[vivid cedar]

what do you mean by "don't have to be public or whatever"?

[storm patio]

something being public means everything can access it
for members (fields, methods, etc), the other access levels (eg private, protected, internal) dictate what other types (classes, etc) can access it
but for entire (top-level) types, the other access level specifies what namespace can access it. it can't be private, it defaults to internal
so a non-public top-level class can still be accessed by everything in the same namespace (which is the anonymous namespace if you don't declare one yourself)

[tropic pecan]

i think i understand now

thxx guys

[vivid cedar]

Yeah the default access level for classes is internal
The default access level for fields inside a class is private

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/access-modifiers

You can read about what they all do here and why that difference matters

[magic nymph]

i am trying to make a dropper type thing to drop stone on a conveyor to move it in the stone collector but it does not move why is this?

[vivid cedar]

transform.forward in a 2D game?

that's most likely something like (0,0,1)

which gets cut off to (0,0) in 2D

so you're adding 0 force

transform.forward is the object's local z axis

[magic nymph]

so i put the z to 0?

[vivid cedar]

You shouldn't be doing anything with the Z axis

you want transform.right or transform.up

for the x or y axis

[gray frigate]

the red and green arrows are the right and up directions

e.g.

[magic nymph]

i did not think i did anything

with the z

[vivid cedar]

well you're not

because 2D physics only uses Vector2s

so your (0,0,1) Vector3 becomes a (0,0) Vector2

and nothing happens

[gray frigate]

Your object is probably rotated so that the blue arrow points into the screen. Applying a force in this direction does not make any sense in 2D.

[magic nymph]

btw i just got unity like yesterday so idk what you are saying

[vivid cedar]

I explained above what you should be doing instead of transform.forward in your code: #💻┃unity-talk message

[magic nymph]

idk how to code i asked a ai to do the coding for me

[vivid cedar]

You're aldo using OnCollisoonStay instead of OnCollisionStay2D

[vivid cedar]

Tell it "oops can you redo everything in 2D? MY game is 2d"

it will fix it

[gray frigate]

If you have no understanding of what your code actually does, then you're not going to learn anything by asking for people to fix it

[magic nymph]

it is copilot and it knows it is 2d i told it

[vivid cedar]

Well all the code it wrote was for 3D

so either it didn't take, or copilot is bad

[gray frigate]

i would strongly suggest stopping whatever it is you're doing and using !learn to figure out how this stuff works

oh right, it has to be on its own, doesn't it

!learn

Anthropic Claude or Gemini are better, use those

Or actually try to learn yourself 😛

[magic nymph]

i mean next school year i am taking a game development class that uses unity and a coding class that uses C# so i think i have to wait 1 year

[vivid cedar]

There is absolutely no reason you need to or should wait

You can start learning right now, and you'll have a better time in that class if you do

[magic nymph]

where do i start to learn

[vivid cedar]

here

[magic nymph]

what does this mean

why is it blocking a learning app and how is that for my safety

[vivid cedar]

It means whoever is running your internet connection blocked the website

And yeah I ahve no idea that's crazy

[magic nymph]

no look up qustodio it is the worst

[vivid cedar]

Yeah your parents

[magic nymph]

ik

[vivid cedar]

I would tell them you're trying to learn programming and it blocked your access to learning resources can you please unblock?

that's crazy it would be in any parental control list

They probably just lumped it under "gaming"

[magic nymph]

they say i have to learn how to do my fruture job on my own gaming time and i only get 4h of game time per week : (

i think i do have to wait until next year

if anyone knows anything about animating i would love some help!

People in #🏃┃animation might

additionally you should ask your question outright

[half sand]

Somebody help me fix receipt Validation using Tangle files in IAP v5. I have already generated the Tangle files via the Services window, but it seems like v5 handles the validation logic slightly differently than previous versions. Has anyone successfully implemented local validation in v5 or encountered similar issues? In iOS, Unity said there's no need to local validate because StoreKit2 now can handle it for developer so I can remove validation logic from iOS build but in Android, I have no idea how to fix this.

[sturdy solstice]

StoreKit2 automatically handles it so you don't need manual validation for IOS but for android regenerate tangle files for v5, and send if debug GooglePlayTangle.Data actually returns correct data

i would recommend making separate server-side validation for Pending orders

[half sand]

hmmmm, if i still want to use local valication, what would i have to do? What solution are u using in your working project?

[sturdy solstice]

I don't really have an example, but I am using separate microservice for in-app transactions

If you want to go with local validation I would recommend you use chain validation instead of OR

Easier to read and debug for different platforms

[worn crown]

hey, Im having a problem with a mesh collider, but confused on where to put it. Where should I put it?

[odd falcon]

as a component to a prefab i believe]

[near wigeon]

put it on the mesh filter

[worn crown]

Oh - sorry, refraising. I wanted to ask a question regarding mesh colliders on a specific discord channel here 😅 Can I just ask it here rq?
all good

[half sand]

can u explain me what chain validation is?

[sturdy solstice]

Smth like
#if UNITY_EDITOR
...
#endif
#if UNITY_ANDROID
...
#endif
#if UNITY_IOS
//skip validation, go straight to checkout or smth
#endif
Etc..

Not all in one if

Might be a platform specific issue and that would be much harder to debug with your current version of code

[odd falcon]

wtf

[near wigeon]

ok ?

here in your line
117 | transform.LookAt(player);
your player origin looks to be higher than the skele origin so it will cause rotation like that

if you dont want it to rotate on the x/z then use a Vector3 instead of just passing in the player

[odd falcon]

i see

[near wigeon]

Vector3 lookTarget = player.position
lookTarget.y = agent.transform.y

Then that’s a blender problem. The animation itself doesn’t work.

Not unity.

i imported animation from mixamo

This is the ss of the video i am watching

and this is mine

in that video he automatically had Ch09..... in the controller i tried to do it manually but not working

why do you have both an Animation and and Animator component

perhaps check the import settings

[remote summit]

hello im pretty new to unity. im creating an app more than a game and i want to know if is possible which i suppose it is to have several output texts and that only 1 can be seen at a time. like a square where i have 1 output text and if i click a next button i go to the next output text and so. idk how is this called but where can i find a tutorial for this ?

[pearl oyster]

There's not going to be a tutorial for every specific feature. Break it down to parts and look up what you don't know how to do. Here's one way to do it:

1. put all output texts into a string array
2. store the index of the current text in a variable
3. when the next button is clicked, increment the index by 1, use it to get the text from the array, and change the text field to show it

[dusky forum]

Yes. Sounds like a menu system or dialogue system.

hello is FusionBootstrap an included script in photon? or just a custom script provided in some game samples? the script contains 700 lines and is in a beginner game sample which is why I was wondering this

[deft rock]

why would the length of a class make a difference?

[vivid cedar]

700 lines is a small script

and it's just an example

you can probably use it if you want but most games will want to customize it or write their own

[flat breach]

never said it's big, but it's not for beginners when I look at the code's complexity

[flat breach]

not only the length but the code itself too

it doesn't look like a beginner script

[deft rock]

1- Networking isn't for beginners
2- It's for beginners to networking and/ or Photon
3- The functionality of it will be required for whatever is being demonstrated

[flat breach]

I'm not new to coding and when I say it's not for beginners, I mean networking beginners

and yea I understand it's required but I just wondered whether it's a script completely custom or just like a builtin component

[deft rock]

It's not a built-in Unity component, which makes it custom.

You can find that sort of thing out for yourself by finding it in the project window

[tawny tusk]

can anyone help with this please

[tall breach]

Is it just me or is the current lts version (6000.3.6f1) really bugged? For example after stopping the play mode, the editor selects and shows a random package file on the inspector. Serialized fields showing incorrect values on prefabs (without scene overrides) and scenes themselves getting marked with changes even though you only make changes to prefabs.

[fair cove]

Check its references, if your using Visual Studio, you can "Find all References" and see all the scripts thats using it, and the folders those scripts exist in - if they are in "Sample" folders only, then its probably only for demo purposes, if they are a part of any of the actual package folders, then its probably also used as a core script - though if your concern is weather or not a specific script should be considered (networking)beginner-friendly, I dont think that should matter as its probably written in a way that a beginner should eventually understand anyway, and unless the script is heavily commented or mentioned in their official tutorials, theres a good chance it wasnt written for beginners to learn from but as part of Photons functionality/architecture

have you tried debugging
is that code being reached, before the if?

also, what message is this in?

But yeah definitely add more logs here

one befoere the if and one in the else

if its an error it certainly cant be mild

unless its a warning

its just some BoxCollider stuff

i think that's the vs color scheme (but i could be wrong)

[craggy pollen]

are you sure you did not disable the console messages

[worldly cave]

you never know

[jagged sage]

this is the entire console

[stuck flower]

Show the entire console

including the buttons that would hide errors

[jagged sage]

this is the entire console no?

[storm patio]

it is not

[craggy pollen]

the ui buttons too

[storm patio]

it's the inside of the console

[stuck flower]

You have literally cropped off the important part

Do you have errors enabled at all

[jagged sage]

oh

[stuck flower]

or are they hidden

[jagged sage]

i had plenty of errors before

on other stuff not this

[storm patio]

and are they enabled right now?

logs as well

[jagged sage]

yup

log for jumping shows up

[stuck flower]

Did you actually save the file

[jagged sage]

it autosaves after making changes

[stuck flower]

No, it doesn't

[jagged sage]

idk for me it does kinda

[stuck flower]

It never has

[storm patio]

(most can, some do by default)

[worldly cave]

vs code doesnt, at least not by default

for me

[storm patio]

yeah, but it does have the capability

[stuck flower]

I haven't seen an IDE that does, saving a file is usually something you want to deliberately happen in a program

[jagged sage]

ok

i swear

when i put that movement script

[storm patio]

jetbrains ides autosave by default don't they

[jagged sage]

i didnt save it with ctrl S

and

it

worked

[storm patio]

there it is

[worldly cave]

this is why you never assume anything

[jagged sage]

why do i suddenly have to save this now

[stuck flower]

That's the one C# IDE I haven't used

[stuck flower]

You always did

[worldly cave]

better get used to it

[storm patio]

i haven't used rider before but ive been forced to use intellij before 😔

[worldly cave]

like i always say, save and commit often

[jagged sage]

stupid mistake learnt ig

thanks all

[worldly cave]

youre all the smarter for it now

[craggy pollen]

you are welcome, now fix you ide problem

[worldly cave]

we use idea in college and i dont think it autosaves

[craggy pollen]

you are not working with auto code complete which is a pain for beginners

[jagged sage]

i allready have it

or atleast i think so?

[storm patio]

do you have autocomplete (for types and members) and error highlighting in your ide?

[jagged sage]

it did complete the crouching script for me so

and it does highlight errors

[storm patio]

...that sounds like intellicode, not intellisense, but ok

[jagged sage]

i think its the AI in it

[craggy pollen]

as Chris said it is called intellicode, intellisense is something else, read the bot message on how to fix it. it was posted above

[jagged sage]

why would i want to remove it tho?

[craggy pollen]

remove what?

you can keep intellicode, but you also need intellisense

intellicode is for whole code blocks and intellisense for auto complete

[jagged sage]

oh ight

[stark wharf]

anyone got a 2D top down spritesheet ? 8 direction zelda like with rolling and ememies and stuff

cant really find any on google

[worldly cave]

i litterally copy pasted your message verbatim into google and got pretty good results

[stark wharf]

asking for help im not mentally defficient

[worldly cave]

mostly from opengameart

[storm patio]

could also try sites specifically for sharing assets like itch

[stark wharf]

no they are not what i need

[worldly cave]

also most spritesheets are rarely as exhaustive as you described

[storm patio]

do you expect us to magically read your mind then

[stark wharf]

please show with 8 directional and rolling

i was asking if anyone had one you can say no just dont say stuff thats stupid

its not like i havent been looking for hours so ik i need help

if u dont want to help dw

[storm patio]

https://pixel-salvaje.itch.io/isometric-character-template-64-pixel-art

[worldly cave]

https://gizmo199.itch.io/hooded-drifter-8-directional-sprite i actually bought this one myself

[storm patio]

this was from https://itch.io/game-assets/tag-8-direction, which i got to from a google search

[stark wharf]

kind if need it to be pixelated cos ive already made my map but thats good thankyiu

any free tho?

[storm patio]

that's pixelated

[worldly cave]

its also 7 bucks

and the drifter is even less at 3

[storm patio]

good, free, easy, pick 2

[stark wharf]

true

[worldly cave]

also you said "8 directional zelda" but im not sure if any 2d zelda game was 8 directional

[stuck flower]

...what do you think "pixelated" means

That's very much "pixelated"

[stark wharf]

i just mean 32x32 or near enough

[storm patio]

ok, then specify that then lmao

64x64 is definitely in the realm of "pixelated" lol

[stuck flower]

I would like to again bring up the trifecta:

• Good
• Fast
• Cheap

Pick two.

[storm patio]

add some more keywords to your search, i'm sure something will pop up

[worldly cave]

also 8 directional spritesheets are less common than 4 directional ones

for obvious reasons

[solemn thunder]

can someone help me save some time here, I have been using unity since about 2011 / 2012, I took a long break of a few years on godot engine between 2020'ish to now, anyway the last license I had I think it was a full student license, and before that a pro license, but I have two confusing things I wanted to clarify before contacting support, my personal license is all good and working but its weirdly confusing:

• Unity Hub = Personal: Activation date: Sat, Jul 2, 2016

• Unity ID hub on website = Unity Personal: Activation date: April 16, 2022

Overall is it worth me wasting time contacting unity support about, its strange the dates are not in sync? I am now just using the personal license as it suits my needs.

btw really impressed with how well unity runs on mac m1 chip now lol

[worldly cave]

I think the mismatch might be caused by the license change

i dont think it should affect anything

[solemn thunder]

yeah because in the about of the editor it states: Unity Personal, iOS, Android, Windows Store

[vivid cedar]

This might be one of the last things on my list of concerns lol

[solemn thunder]

under license type

[solemn thunder]

I always check my licenses lol

in the future I could get sued

but my unity account is that old, I have a license key on it as well, I can't remember what its for, I think Unity 4 possibly lol

[vivid cedar]

If I were using anything above a personal license yes

[solemn thunder]

ok

[wanton ibex]

has unity been slow for anyone else recently? it takes SO long to go in and out of play mode

[craggy pollen]

i dont think that has to do with unity

[wanton ibex]

it was working fine a week ago ish, and now it's just hella slow idk why, i have no idea what the hell it could be honestly

[craggy pollen]

what did you change and what did you add, maybe it has somethign to do with that

[wanton ibex]

i've just been adding new scripts/shaders/prefabs etc, you get it, nothing special

[flat breach]

hi, do you guys know why this happens? this my first time seeing this:

[storm patio]

why what happens

[flat breach]

the left side is black

[storm patio]

you gotta be more specific man

probably ask #1390346776804069396

tbh, you should probably know this by now...

[craggy pollen]

it could be your light maps

[vivid cedar]

Literally any one of those things could easily be responsible

[flat breach]

yea I've just baked the scene but why though? and how to fix it

[wanton ibex]

yeah i suppose i'll check them

[remote summit]

btw does someone know whats this about

i get this a lot and my unity crashes often with this or when i let it running for long and makes me have to close it from the task manager

[craggy pollen]

check the log files

might indicate what is going on

[remote summit]

where are thosse

the message changed but is still busy for 3 mins

[craggy pollen]

yeah still you should take a look, quick google research will tell you where they are located for your os

[remote summit]

oh i found some logs but which one should i see exactly?

there is cache

editor

[craggy pollen]

editor

[remote summit]

ok editor.log

i have to go to the botton?

or is the top part

which has the latest

[deft rock]

they're time stamped... no..?

25 mins late 😬

[hazy mesa]

this is a completely normal amount of memory for a completely new project to use, very good job unity 👍

any benefit of parallel asset importing is completely negated by the fact it needs hundreds of megabytes of memory per worker. utterly ridiculous.

[last wagon]

wsg guys

[charred fog]

Do you have a Unity related question?

[reef dome]

What did you expect, asset importing is always memory intensive and when you are doing it on multiple cores it burns through memory, but its a temp effect, once the import is done unity will go back to normal levels, you cant use it during import anyways so whats the holdup ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[last wagon]

nah im just making smth

[hazy mesa]

The project had finished importing for about 5 minutes when I took the screenshot. I have never seen these workers go away despite the timeout for them being set to 60 seconds.

[charred fog]

If you don't have an on-topic question, don't spam the channel then. You already have a warning for that.

[last wagon]

alr bro it aint that deep 🥀✌️

[dense sigil]

Given so many people are now contracting part time it's been difficult trying to figure out licensing for seats. Companies don't want to purchase a year of licenses for someone to be on the project for a few weeks, and contractors don't want to buy a year of license to do a bit of work. How is anyone doing work? Why doesn't Unity have a pricing solution for this?

It seems Unity's pricing model only considers full time employment in their pricing.

[potent geyser]

A contractor doing Unity for a living isn't doing "a bit of work". $2000 annually (for their own license) would factor into their invoicing.

[reef dome]

I usually buy monthly and communicate upfront that this will be licensing costs the company has to carry, or they provide me with a license

[crimson grove]

no way you guys finally added this 😭

🥀✌️

[dense sigil]

That's right. That's how people are doing it. But I've been in the situation now where companies just say no thanks. They only need a limited amount of work done and don't want to carry a $2000 add on for $2000 worth of work.

I wish Unity offered a one month license for these situations.

[reef dome]

it is 179€ per month

[dense sigil]

For a year commitment.

[reef dome]

they do

no

[potent geyser]

They wouldn't cover your annual cost, they would cover the costs of how much time you spent using the license.

[reef dome]

oh wait, did they switch it? I am 100% sure I had a monthly plan last time i did contract work

[potent geyser]

That's if you need them to. It's a competitive market. If you're lining up jobs, then you can decide where you can lower your costs to stay competitive, and the jobs themselves would naturally cover those license fees.

[dense sigil]

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but these are the only two options to buy a pro seat.

Both annual commitments.

[potent geyser]

It is annual, yeah

[glass saddle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1iosxzm/unity_6_input_box_not_showing_above_keyboard_on/

There's this problem with android input fields. The first comment's solution works but Im wondering what I lost by switching application entry point from GameActivity to Activity. Anyone know?

[dense sigil]

They did, but they've changed to annual only

[reef dome]

ah damn, yeah then you buy it and ask them for the costs for the time you used on them, which is less than 10€ per day

[dense sigil]

On a say 4 week contract that leaves the contractor on the hook for 11 more months.

[potent geyser]

🤔

[dense sigil]

So can't do side work.

[potent geyser]

Assuming they literally do no work those 11 more months?

[reef dome]

Hmm its a bit harsh for me aswell, I do both Unity and Webdev contract work so sometimes I use Unity for 2-4 months a year, rest is webdev

[potent geyser]

Realistically, if any company is using Unity and reaching thresholds, they need to own the licenses anyway. Unity will eventually come calling.

[reef dome]

Apart from my day job which provides the license I use there ofcourse

Yeah but they would need to buy a new seat for you

[glass saddle]

at that point, doesnt they have enough $$ for ya?

[potent geyser]

Or assign an existing ones. They can own them and reassign them as needed.

[dense sigil]

Let's say the company's main focus is not games, but they just want some visualization prototype. They can't prototype without commit to a full year as they already cross the threshold.

[reef dome]

yeah if they have one on hand 😄 thats not used by their dev rn

[dense sigil]

It's pretty easy to come up with holes in the pricing model.

This feels like it's going back to Unity doesn't eat their own dogfood.

[potent geyser]

If the company is doing visualization, then they need an industry license anyway

[dense sigil]

Okay, well these are all good reasons to use another engine.

Okay, here's another question about licensing. Their license says one seat is for one person. But you can have one active seat for development and one for a build machine that has no person attached?

Since we can have two activations on two different machines

[potent geyser]

You can definitely go to another engine, but it's going to be the same thing, licensing fees. UE is $2500 for non-gaming seats for $1m + revenue companies.

(Which is essentially the same as Unity)

[dense sigil]

Godot has none of that. I have almost 15 years on Unity and I'm really struggling to justify staying with the platform considering their changes to licensing.

[sweet tartan]

in theory, GameActivity has better performance. In practice, it increased our ANR rate by 200% so I steer clear personally

[glass saddle]

so how did you deal with inputfields without the visual textbox?

I'm all into the bonus performance, if not only for this one problem

[sweet tartan]

modified the UI to account for it. It was extremely frustrating to try and make it work for the exact reason you came across

[worldly cave]

as time goes on the most* unity esque alternative seems to be s&box

but only if facepunch commits to it fully as an engine

and not as a creation and sharing platform like roblox

[glass saddle]

I spent 6 hours making a mirror inputfield (that acts like a textbox) for it, then I found the solution online and I was like "ugh I wasted time for this", hence me asking the original question

[vapid dock]

Any idea why that happens? I followed the instruction on https://gist.github.com/zak-grumbles/2d832936f70bf4eaf5a0afe59bded68a#file-playercontroller-cs

[worldly cave]

what is supposed to be happening that isnt?

[glass saddle]

there should be an object that's should be tracked and moved rotated my the camera, but he is rotating the player instead

[worldly cave]

im going to assume that maybe your camera is a child of the player here

and it probably shouldnt be the case

[lone maple]

Hi

[vapid dock]

there is no object that should rotate the camera why should there be one? the camera should just track the player

[worldly cave]

is the camera a child of the player

[vapid dock]

yes, thats normal isnt it

[worldly cave]

i dont think it should be the child in this situation

see that its not under the player and see if that fixes the problem

keep the player as the target object

[vapid dock]

how do i do that?

[worldly cave]

just keep it as the target object in the Target field in the camera script...

but dont make the camera a child of the player

[vapid dock]

i do that my renaming target to the players name? sorry Im a complete beginner with unity as well as C#

[worldly cave]

no...

you do that by litterally dragging the player into the public field on your camera script

the one looking for a "Target"

i get the red "no" sign. cant drag the player there :/

[flat breach]

hi guys, why are my walls full dark like this? I've baked my lighting and they are all static

[vapid dock]

im already leaning but im currently trying to lean C# in general

[stuck flower]

Are both the player and the camera in the scene

[vapid dock]

yes

[stuck flower]

Show a screenshot of where you're trying to drag the player into and what you're trying to drag into it

[worldly cave]

#1390346776804069396 .... again

[flat breach]

well it didn't help lol

[worldly cave]

i dont think you understand the purpose of this channel.

[flat breach]

and I'm sure it's not something really specific to rendering, it's kinda general knowledge

[worldly cave]

its almost entirely a lighting issue

[stuck flower]

So you're dragging it into empty space?

[worldly cave]

youre trying to drag your camera game object into itself as a component

look at the player camera component

there is an empty field called "Target"

[flat breach]

bro, I've lights set to baked mode, the walls static and contribute gl, lights have intensity, what kinda problem would you except lighting related?

[worldly cave]

drag your player there

[stuck flower]

If you want to assign target you should drag it into target

[stuck flower]

No idea, but the people in #1390346776804069396 might

[vapid dock]

ahh, found it 😄

any tipps on how to make the movement less "wonky"? it feels like a sack of potatoes when moving (:

[reef dome]

more speed, more turn speed 😄

[deft rock]

it'll look better when the model is walking too

[vapid dock]

didnt figure out how to add animations yet. not only am I extremley bad at rigging and animating in blender. even using mixamo doesnt solve the case. I just have 3 different player characters each with one animation

read the topic for this channel

[ancient moat]

Hello!

[vapid dock]

you guys have plenty of experience i guess. how realistic is it to make a 3rd person game where you can walk, jump, and shoot enemies (balls) in one weekend? Im a beginner and just want to know the scale of possibility

[ancient moat]

I'm new to Unity, what IDEs are recommended for it? (Free ones)

[worldly cave]

gonna be pretty difficult unless you specifically follow some tutorial

[karmic basalt]

i just downloaded unity and wanted to open the begginers project thing and everytime i do it says failed to resolve project template, failure to decompress soo if anyone knows how to fix it 🤷‍♂️

[worldly cave]

i think you should prioritize the learning pathways first

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[worldly cave]

a lot of people will tell you vs code

me included

[deft rock]

VS > VS Code

[worldly cave]

blue > purple

[deft rock]

It's all personal preference

[worldly cave]

it really is

[compact spindle]

shoutouts to the notepad++ troopers

[ancient moat]

I have some experience with Unreal Engine and VS Code is literally traumatic to use I can't lie. I used Rider mostly and I also used Visual Studio 2022

[compact spindle]

(jk lol)

[deft rock]

as long as it works

[gray frigate]

Visual Studio (or Rider) will generally have more advanced tooling

I happily used VSCode for quite a while though

[worldly cave]

if you have rider use rider

imo

[karmic basalt]

just use those then

[ancient moat]

I see, okay.

[gray frigate]

I use Rider on my Mac because I can't use Visual Studio, and it has a bunch of really nice unity-specific features

[worldly cave]

rider in general is i think ever so slightly above vs and vs code

[ancient moat]

I'll just use Rider my beloved.

[ancient moat]

Rider vs VS is day and light

day and night*

I can't lie bro

I do UE C++ stuff
