[karmic basalt]

not easy being a influencer

[worldly cave]

not specific to your game lol

just consider your odds here

[flat breach]

he answers to everyone

[karmic basalt]

its the nice thing to do

[flat breach]

fr

[karmic basalt]

everyone wants to be included

[ancient moat]

I found him only like 2 days ago when I was learning C# with my friend Indi and at night I was scrolling YouTube and I found Code Monkey's Unity course and C# playlist

[worldly cave]

I think randomly soliciting random people to play your game isnt really nice

[karmic basalt]

if he asked nicely its fine i think

[worldly cave]

Unless code monkey specifically asked people to send him their games for him to play, hijacking an AMA to try and get him to notice your game is not good optics

[flat breach]

why though?

[worldly cave]

I feel as if i dont have to explain this to another adult

[flat breach]

oh you think he'll stole my game?

[worldly cave]

that is not what i said.

[flat breach]

not sure I correctly understood

[karmic basalt]

bold assumption

[worldly cave]

apparently so

[karmic basalt]

well i'd love to get started with unity as soon as i get ts error fixed

speaking of which

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 i'd love a response ❤️

[deft rock]

It's irritating.

There was a time a few years ago where you couldn't post anything on Twitter without some audio person replying or DMing "HEY WANT SOME SOUND?!"

It's the same thing "Hey, I <just started> and made a game, will you play it? (and give me exposure, I'll get mega rich)"

[worldly cave]

Youre also assuming that code monkey's feedback is somehow going to be of greater signifance than it actually is

[karmic basalt]

yep

anybody can give you feedback on your game it doesnt have to be a youtuber

[worldly cave]

at most you might get a courtesy "its nice"

without him even playing your game

[deft rock]

We haven't seen your game, but you're a beginner and from the questisons you do ask.. it's not worth his time to look at, at this level

[flat breach]

I've never asked him to give exposure actually, I just want him to test my game personally and give me advices with his experience

[karmic basalt]

harsh

[flat breach]

well, I ain't gon lie, if I asked him, even if I don't know him, it's just that I trust him more than someone random on discord, if my game ends up on Steam, I'll easily find him lol

[balmy kettle]

it's reality

[deft rock]

Honest. Not mean though.

[flat breach]

how am I a beginner lol? my questions aren't dumb at all, give me an example

I like honesty explain me what makes u think so

[worldly cave]

i dont think you should put him on the spot like that.

and i do agree with him

theres no 1 specific instance, but its pretty clear to anyone even semi active here

[karmic basalt]

i mean if you're asking someone on reddit for feedback on your game i'd assume you're a beginner

[flat breach]

pretty clear that I'm a beginner?

🤦‍♂️

[worldly cave]

maybe clear isnt the right word

"obvious"

your mentality in this conversation is also very telling

and the way you are talking right now

[flat breach]

man, no lol, everyone needs advices or playtest before uploading a game

[deft rock]

you couldn't work out if a class was built-in or "custom" for a start

[karmic basalt]

cant blame him really, most of this critiscism isnt very constructive

[flat breach]

english is my fourth language, that has nothing to do with it

[stuck flower]

I have a stream with about seven active viewers in an incredibly narrow niche and it's already exhausting dealing with the people who keep trying to get me to play their mods that I've just started ignoring them and pretending I don't see them. I can't imagine what that is like with nearly 600,000 subscribers

[deft rock]

you ask questions poorly "why does this happen?"

[worldly cave]

the irony here is sort of hilarious because i wasnt talking about the way you litterally spoke

and english is not my first or second language either

[karmic basalt]

awesome

[worldly cave]

some people just feel entitled to other peoples attention ig

[flat breach]

it was a question of english, language, no unity or anything dev related lol, and you didn't get my question, what I meant to ask was whether this was a component given with the asset or just a script written, and second of all, I'm a beginner with multiplayer games which was the case here.

[vapid dock]

what unity version is better to use, 6.3 or 2022? i get a bunch of errors when trying to make 6.3 projects, input manager has to be set to both because it doesnt recognize old inputs, cinemachine is not recoged and many more

[flat breach]

aight man

[deft rock]

this still doesn't make any sense

anyway, I'm not here to get at you, we can stop this now.

[karmic basalt]

soo you're saying hes right and you are a beginner?

[dusky forum]

Should probably make a thread for the ongoing discussion (likely off-topic and unnecessary though)

[stuck flower]

Everybody thinks "It'll just take 20 minutes bro" but consider that it will only take twenty four people asking for "just 20 minutes" before your entire free time for the day is gone

[flat breach]

I just don't care man.... I'm here to get better whatever my level is lol, ain't gotta prove nothing

[stuck flower]

So, fix those errors.

Use both if you need both

[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 🤷‍♂️

[stuck flower]

and use the proper namespace for Cinemachine 3

[vapid dock]

i cant, cinemachine for examlple is installed but cant be found for a reason

[deft rock]

recoged?

CM works in 6.3, maybe v2 doesn't and you need to update the package to v3?

[stuck flower]

Are you using the correct namespace for the version you have installed

[vapid dock]

i guess, i dont mess with settings much when creating projects so should be right

[stuck flower]

What namespace are you using

[vapid dock]

unity 6.3 LTS

[deft rock]

that's not a namespace

[stuck flower]

That is not a valid answer to the question I asked

[dusky forum]

Are you updating an older project? Following/using a tutorial or project that uses an older version of Unity? You may want to stick with the version that's compatible if you are.

[stuck flower]

I didn't ask what version of unity you're using

I asked what namespace you're trying to use that it's saying doesn't exist

[deft rock]

⁨using UnityEngine;⁩ <- ⁨UnityEngine⁩ is a namespace

[vapid dock]

i use only UnityEngine

[deft rock]

... CM has it's own namespace, which must be inlucded to use it's api's

[stuck flower]

So, you aren't using Cinemachine

Which is why it's not working

If you do things correctly, they tend to work.

[vapid dock]

But cinemachine should be installed, how am I not using it?

[stuck flower]

Because you literally are not

[deft rock]

because you have to type it in the code

[karmic basalt]

try to do it manually mate

[stuck flower]

you have to add a using statement

to use things in another namespace

[dusky forum]

Are you referring to scripting errors?

You should learn basic terminology so you can at least understand the answers you're given

[karmic basalt]

Anyone know how to fix "failed to resolve project template, failed to decompress" error upon trying to open a project? using unity engine btw

[stuck flower]

You might need to reinstall that version of Unity

[vapid dock]

namespaces are just lables or groups for code. Im not talking about sripts. Im talking about packages that are installed not being found even tho they are installed properly and that problem i have with more than one project

[stuck flower]

Yes, and in order to use things in that group, you have to add a using statement for it

[lone maple]

How would I get everything to level on the unity engine

[stuck flower]

Did you include those in the code that says it can't find them

[vapid dock]

im talking about this error when opening any project. that has nothing to do with reffering namespaxces in scripts

[dusky forum]

I don't think they're referring to code but rather the package manager and components etc

[lone maple]

Open project manager

[stuck flower]

Okay, this is a different problem than when you stated it "couldn't find" Cinemachine

So, go in, remove the package, then re-download it

Whatever packages have errors

[vapid dock]

burst, timeline, version controll and VS editor but burst can not be removed

[deft rock]

can it be updated?

[stuck flower]

If it's part of a collection you have to uninstall the full collection

[lone maple]

Make sure you delete the error

[vapid dock]

nope, tried

[stuck flower]

So find whichever Feature has those included and remove the feature

[vapid dock]

you mean the folder in assets? what is burst good for? can I delete and forget it?

[stuck flower]

I mean the feature

in the package manager

under the header

that says features

[vapid dock]

doesnt say feature nowhere

[stuck flower]

Maybe look in the place where the packages are installed from

[vapid dock]

doesnt realy help, will switching to version 2022 fix all that cräp?

[worldly wind]

In Unity 6.3, even though 'Always Refresh' is disabled in the Scene View, shaders and such continue to update. How do I turn this off? Is this a bug, or is there some other situation I'm unaware of?

[worldly wind]

6000.3.5f2

[stuck flower]

You've uninstalled the feature and re-installed the relevant packages that quickly?

[dusky forum]

Probably not unless it's the version your project was built for

[vapid dock]

yes ,they were only 3 and 2 of them i dont need at all

[stuck flower]

So what is still showing as having an error

[vapid dock]

its a new, blank project

[vapid dock]

that burst has no valid signature

[dusky forum]

That's fairly interesting
Which template is this with?

[stuck flower]

So you didn't remove it

[vapid dock]

this one can not be removed

[vapid dock]

3D build in render pipeline

[stuck flower]

So then you didn't remove the feature it's part of

[vapid dock]

there is no "part of" its a thing that comes with unity an can not be removed

[dusky forum]

I think Digi is saying that there's some dependency that prohibits is removal

[stuck flower]

It's part of a Feature you have installed and cannot be removed individually

So you have to remove the Feature it is part of

[vapid dock]

but i dont know what feature it is, it came when i created the project

[stuck flower]

So look at them

and see

which one it is

[vapid dock]

what exactly should I be looking at, its one error, burst can not be updated or removed

[stuck flower]

So you didn't do what I asked at all

[dusky forum]

If this all fails, you can try creating a new project again and see if this occurs again (same template, different template, different LTS etc)
This shouldn't be part of the normal behavior

[stuck flower]

Why did you say you removed the feature

when you didn't

[vapid dock]

i removed the other 2 features: version controll and VS editor

[stuck flower]

Okay, now remove the one that contains Burst

[vapid dock]

remove is greyed out

[stuck flower]

Again

It's part of a feature

and cannot be removed individually

so go to the list

under the heading

that says features

and find the one

that contains this package

and remove the feature

[dusky forum]

Go into the unity registry group on the left side

[vapid dock]

if it were, it would say what feature its part of dont you think? should i guess and remove one after an other?

[stuck flower]

Or look at the list of packages included in the feature

and see which ones contain Burst

[vapid dock]

i cant follow you, i dont find anything you describe

[stuck flower]

it's literally labeled

please look at your screen for a second

[vapid dock]

i have no features label

there is none

in my screen

[stuck flower]

What screen are you looking at

[vapid dock]

in the package manager, under errors and warnings, there is only ONE label named Packages - Unity. No features

Unity Registry: also only packages, no feature

[stuck flower]

Show your unity registry screen

[stuck flower]

If you're searching for "cine" it's only going to show results containing "cine"

[vapid dock]

didnt notice that, now features is there

but what now?

[stuck flower]

Find the one containing the package you want to remove

and remove it

[limpid pivot]

My friend has the inspector window in unity in a very odd way that looks like tthe degug mode but it is not

mine is the front one, his is the right one

[worldly cave]

is your friend selecting a game object in the scene?

[limpid pivot]

yes

[stuck flower]

Try setting it to debug and then back. Also check the console to see if any custom inspectors have errored out

[vapid dock]

i clicked trough every "features" thingy and none of them include burst as a package

[limpid pivot]

we did, few layers showed up but then back in normal mode it went how it is shown in the image

BTW: 2022.3.22 version

[vapid dock]

could it be that unity has to be re-installed in general? could there be a bug?

[stuck flower]

If you're going to reinstall, you should get the latest version of 6.3 so the package manifest bug isn't there any more, if it can Identify the version it can probably tell you what feature it's part of

[vapid dock]

i tought about downgrading. because 6.3 seems to be buggy and old inputs for example for player movement and camera gives me an error which needs me to switch player input to both insdead of thats new

[stuck flower]

That's not a bug

[vapid dock]

Project settings > Player > Active Input Handling > Input System Package (new)

[stuck flower]

It's telling you to change the input handling, which you would need to do if you want to use the old input manager

[wanton ibex]

thanks unity that really helps

(don't mind me i just think this looks funny in the errors)

[vapid dock]

i dont even know the difference. all tutorials use the old one

[stuck flower]

so switch to the old one

[plain dagger]

you mean thanks shit library

[wanton ibex]

yes basically

[plain dagger]

anyway if using unity web request you can check the response code

[stuck flower]

Seems like a Discord problem, Unity's just reporting it

[wanton ibex]

i know it was a joke, i know what the problem is

[vapid dock]

then I have the yellow message saying it is recomendet to use the new one insdead

[wanton ibex]

it just looks funny the fact that it literally just says

"failed to connect for SOME reason"

[plain dagger]

discord error: are you an adult?

[stuck flower]

Because it is

The new input system is better

[worldly cave]

Youre either going to have to use the old one, or learn to use the new one

[stuck flower]

But if you don't want to use it, switch it

[worldly cave]

most tutorials use the old one because its well... old

[vapid dock]

i dont know the difference between the old and the new one. Im happy to get my character even moving regardles how. Most of the time chatGPT helps me out

[vapid dock]

its not that i dont want to, I cant

[stuck flower]

So if the tutorials are using the old one, and you want to use that one

then use it

[worldly cave]

why cant you?

[vapid dock]

because I can not code. Im bareley able to read and understand code but writing it from scratch is not for me

[worldly cave]

i think this is echoing the start of our conversation, where i recommend you start following the unity pathways in order to actually learn properly

doesnt help you lack understanding of the basic fundamentals and are already relying on ai to help you make progress

that isnt a good sign.

[limpid pivot]

Well we restarted the project, i found a forum that had the same issue but no solution. Weird since this post was from unity 5 version

[vapid dock]

already did two tutorials from unity and they do not teach the right stuff

[limpid pivot]

but thanks still fo r listening and attempting solutions 👍 🙂

[stuck flower]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[worldly cave]

which tutorials?

[stuck flower]

Did you check to see if any custom inspectors in the console had errors? Even for unrelated scripts, which could disrupt the render thread and break other scripts' inspectors

[vapid dock]

i think it was getting started with unity and Unity Essentials. they are tutorial projects within unity

I also went trough w3schools C# learning tutorial

[worldly cave]

start with these

[limpid pivot]

the 3 errors there were hard to see and even copy paste wasnt clear.

[vapid dock]

yes the green one I already finnished

[limpid pivot]

But maybe it was one of them and i couldnt have the brain to fix thorugh a discord call

I am still dumb in unity

[worldly cave]

and you say that one didnt teach you the right stuff?

[vapid dock]

well it didnt teach how to code from scratch or how to get rid of package manager errors or how to animate an character

[worldly cave]

Maybe because its the "unity essentials"

consider that in the image i sent you, theres another set of pathways litterally titled "Junior Programmer"

Also the "Creative Core" pathways teach you about animation.

anyways it doesnt sound like they dont "teach you the right stuff" sounds to me like you just didnt bother learning everything they offer to teach.

[vapid dock]

im starting that after i get comfortable with C# without all the unity vocabularies. understanding what methods, for loops and stuff like that are is already over my head

[worldly cave]

there are some pins in #💻┃code-beginner

for good c# tutorials and guides

take a look at those

[vapid dock]

i dont know about you but my day only has 24 hours. learning using unity, coding, modelling, animation ... all in one go is a bit much

[worldly cave]

nobody is expecting you to learn it all in one go?

this shit takes time lol

heres the simple truth, you litterally never stop learning

no matter how many days, months or years of experience you have, you will always be learning something

But taking your time is step number one, rome wasnt built in a day or whatever

[vapid dock]

I dont want to create a AAA game or be a game developer, i just do it for fun and because I want to make a fun game just for having it done once. So i wont dive too deep to learn all and i definitley dont want to learn all about coding because thats the most frustrating part

[worldly cave]

I think you fundamentally missunderstand whats happening here

[vapid dock]

i do what i can, I can only invest like 5-10 hours a week

[worldly cave]

nobody is expecting you to "learn all about coding" because guess what, you litterally cant learn everything, nobody can

but also understand that you are a victim of your own mentality

maybe coding is "frusturating" because you know so little, not the other way around

[slim narwhal]

why is there no good tutorial on adding mod support to a game?

[worldly cave]

like adding modding support to your own project?

[slim narwhal]

yeah

[vapid dock]

i can code websites with html and css and i still dont find it fun. I try to avoud coding where I can because its the exact opposite of creative work

[slim narwhal]

like, not just assets, but custom mechanics too

[worldly cave]

coding is the opposite of creative work?

what

[vapid dock]

creating a systematically working code has no spark of creativity

[worldly cave]

what the fuck are you talking about

sorry for being crass

but that doesnt make any sense lol

[vapid dock]

creativity is where you decide how soemthing should look, feel and behave. code is trying to give the computer instructions how to do it. its like trying to tell someone else what to paint

[worldly cave]

Sounds to me like your describing AI not coding in general

which wouldnt be surprising given you had no issue relying on chatgpt to help you when you ignored learning basics

and also html and css are not programming languages, they are declarative by nature

[vapid dock]

I know what you mean bit no. imagine I want to make a cool mario style tripple jump. the idea, the design, animation is all the creative part and now you have to explain it to a computer only understanding code

[worldly cave]

the issue is that you are assuming that coding is somehow agnostic from the other elements of design here

simply put theres no opinion here, youre making an objective claim about something largely subjective which is art itself

Deciding how something should work is not the same as making it work

thinking about a painting is not the same as grabbing a brush and painting it

[vapid dock]

so you say coding is creative work will mean that you can code however you like but you have to follow a strict system

[worldly cave]

Do you think painters are not limited by the size of their canvas?

the passion of their work and the pallete of colours at their disposal

limitation is what drives creativity

[vapid dock]

clearly you can code no problem because you have the passion for it maybe. bur for me the cool thing about games is the design, environment, shading and textures. code is something that has to be done

[worldly cave]

Everything has to be done.

eventually

[vapid dock]

so is there a fast and easy way to get just enough knowledge to make a game? without having to learn for 6 months ore so

[worldly cave]

no

like i said previously

"this shit takes time"

there is a shortcut though

if you want to just create ideas, concepts design and all of that, its actually really simple

its called being wealthy and paying for others to do the busy work for you

[vapid dock]

not realy a shortcut, tried my luck on fiverr and asked some indian guy to give me drag and drop code. just wasted $20 for nothing

[worldly cave]

i specified 'wealthy'

somebody who could pay people to work full time for them, to actually deliver something useful

[vapid dock]

i know what you meant 😄 i gotta ask, do you have fun coding?

[worldly cave]

been doing it for over a decade and a half, would be a masochist if i didnt enjoy it somewhat

[vapid dock]

you must be an old fossil. how long would you say does it take to learn enough to get even started with making games? i dont mean recreating AAA games but small projects

[worldly cave]

few weeks

give or take

[dusky forum]

Depends what you're coding. It isn't uniformed. The language is easy in itself. Design and implementation is the puzzle of life-experiences/knowledge.

[vapid dock]

you find it easy? Im still confused with for and foreach and all the classes st!t

and those should be the basics

[dusky forum]

Reminder that easy doesn't mean likeable

[worldly cave]

thats why taking your time matters

[vapid dock]

i find it neither easy nor likable

[potent moss]

why is there a philosophical debate being held here

[plain dagger]

wa the thing i started learning is hard

I was shit when i started too

[worldly cave]

such is the nature of debates regarding art I suppose

[dusky forum]

That's like learning to walk/run. You can probably eventually do it, climb a hill, run a marathon if asked but it doesn't mean you like doing it. And it would have probably taken you years to train for not to mention having to retrain yourself if you aren't doing it often enough. It's a part of life. Your choice. An extension of yourself in capability.

You can use visual scripting if you aren't wanting to learn the C# language. You'll still need to know programming concepts though @vapid dock

[polar basalt]

what would be the best way to fake shadows for this type of object? i have over 250 of them with each having a light inside, and unity doesnt want to render all shadows and spams my console

[plain dagger]

is baking an option?

[slow dirge]

First, what does it spam? Is it about forward rendering pixel light limit? If so you could try deferred rendering path.
Other than that, unity baked lights is an option.
Lastly, you could bake the shadows into a texture in blender and use it with a decal in unity.

[polar basalt]

im using deffered

Too many additional punctual lights shadows to look good, URP removed 68 shadow maps to make the others fit in the shadow atlas. To avoid this, increase shadow atlas size, remove some shadowed lights, replace soft shadows by hard shadows ; or replace point lights by spot lights
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

and the shadow map is at max

i put a culling mask on almost everything and it still shows this

[plain dagger]

point lights are the worst for shadow projection

[polar basalt]

yeah but i need it to be point..

to have 2 spot lights i get the same warning but now saying 200 shadows maps

[plain dagger]

hdrp has some more control over shadows, im not surprised that URP is more conservative
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@17.5/manual/Shadows-in-HDRP.html#control-the-maximum-number-of-shadows-on-screen

If possible try to bake these lights + shadows

[polar basalt]

the shadows are supposed to move though..

give me a moment i will see what i can do right now, will come back later

also, how can i make unity not spam my console

it makes fps drop by a lot

[slow dirge]

Are all 250 objects entering the camera frustum at the same time???

[polar basalt]

yes

sadly

[plain dagger]

can we see an example of the scene? also may be better to move the conversation to #1390346776804069396 or #1391720450752516147

[slow dirge]

They should be pretty small then. Do all of them need to have shadows? Maybe farther away ones can be rendered without shadows?

Does it make any significant visual difference?

[polar basalt]

yes sadly

one moment

[high heart]

Hey, not sure where to put this, but:

Every Game (.app) I export to MacOS requires the user to either adjust their security settings or fidget with terminal to run it. I'm trying to find a resource ensure that this isn't necessary for the user to do. Does anybody know where to look? Been searching up "certified apple" on google and finding stuff for iOS but not MacOS

[vivid cedar]

Are you a member of the apple developer program?

Also https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/macos-building-notarization.html

[high heart]

Does that require the yearly subscription or no? I wasn't sure if being merely an apple developer was free until you developed for ios

[vivid cedar]

yes it's $99 per year

welcome to Apple's hell

[high heart]

Aaaaa... maybe I should just tell Apple users to use Itch.io and Steam's app launchers then lol

[vivid cedar]

You also need a mac to do this process, IIRC. Or to rent one in the cloud

[high heart]

I have a mac

[vivid cedar]

Then yeah, you need to be an apple developer program member (paying)

[high heart]

So really? No way to make an .app file that doesn't immediately call itself corrupted or incompatible without somebody in the know using terminal / security settings unless I pay the enrollment fee?

If that's the case, I'll just tell Apple users to use the itch.io / Steam launchers, because I think it bypasses all that.

[vivid cedar]

Why do you think that company is worth $4 Trillion? They know how to suck money out of people

[high heart]

Can't really justify $100 a year making free itch.io games. Maybe one day I become a big boy game developer and sell something lol

[stuck flower]

Correct. This is why I mostly tell apple users to buy a real computer instead.

[high heart]

I was under the impression the $100 a year was just for iOS, I stand corrected.

[vivid cedar]

Hey think of it this way, you get OSX and iOS for just one low price!

[high heart]

I do find it funny that instead of telling the user "Hey, this is made by an uncertified developer, if you think you trust the app, you can adjust it in settings"

It just goes "Oh, this app's corrupted. Sorry. Can't work at all."

[copper gust]

Hello

Please in unity how do I disable physics between character controller and rigid body

I don’t want my controller just passing through I want it to not be able to push the rb

[lime laurel]

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I have a question. I started using the Localization asset at the beginning of this week, but for the past two days, whenever I reopen the project, half of the things I had done in the Tables are not saved. Do you have any idea why? Just to clarify, I’m not in Play Mode while working and I save continuously.

Hello, i have an issue when making maps.. i'm trying to develop a game for college with a small team, and currently i am working on making the maps themselves, however the trees that i want in the background either work when looking at them from far but disappear completely or turn pink when getting close, or vice versa.. anyone know how to fix this? any help appreciated!

My unity breaks when i try edit code while running the game AND the code uses a flat c# classes (not inheriting from monobehavior) ---------- at least thats what i think triggered it, it worked before

So is the runtime code reload not compatible with plain c# objs?

Like this

[dusky forum]

Can you show the full error?

And normally we'd create new instances in Unity with Instantiate

[dapper current]

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
PlayerController.Update () (at Assets/PlayerController.cs:16)

[dapper current]

It's a plain c# obj

[dusky forum]

Knowing what a Rotation and Movement is might help. You've mentioned that they aren't MBs.

How to post code btw:

!code

[vagrant root]

Posting code

📃 Large Code Blocks

Use links to services like:
https://paste.mod.gg/, https://hastebin.skyra.pw/, https://paste.ofcode.org/, https://paste.myst.rs/

📃 Inline Code

Surround code with three backquotes. Not quotation marks.
To format as C#, add cs to the first line:
```cs
// Your code here
```
Add a comment with a line number if there is an error message.

[dapper current]

Oh nvm

Changing Start to OnEnable helped

[copper gust]

It shouldn’t

[dapper current]

It litearlly should

[copper gust]

Start absolutely runs before first update 🤔

Oh runtime code reload

is that a particular third party asset?

[dapper current]

Check the LOD component. When its pink it means one of its LOD versions has broken shader. And when it dissapears it either means the last LOD is fully culled or the LOD is missing a mesh

[dapper current]

My code works

What i meant before is

Updating the code while RUNNING the game wouldnt work correctly

Thats cause Start() wasnt called again

And it lost references to c# objs

So i just remake them in OnEnable

[copper gust]

In general this isn’t standard intended behaviour in unity

[dapper current]

it is, it breaks references to your custom c# classes

If it doesnt then youre not using them

[dusky forum]

Well, normally you wouldn't be expecting to edit scripts while the game is running

[copper gust]

No as in updating code while actively in play mode isn’t supported by unity

I know it can work in some scenarios, especially with third party plugins

But intention wise it’s not supported

Most devs are not doing that

[dapper current]

Yeah it works on a new project but as you expand the project it stops working eventually

[copper gust]

ye

[dapper current]

Just trying to keep that functionality as long as possible 🤣

[dusky forum]

If it's an editor script.. it would differ but that wouldn't be dependent on the regular game loop.

[dapper current]

It's faster

[copper gust]

Tru dat

[dusky forum]

If you're trying to run a method from the inspector, you could try using https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ContextMenu.html instead of toggling the component. I'm assuming you're doing so to fire off certain statements.

    [ContextMenu("Do Something")]
    void DoSomething()
    {
        Debug.Log("Perform operation");
    }```

This implies you're still using Start for initially setting the data (assuming you're wanting to do so by default once)

[radiant pewter]

Does anyone know why "LiberationSans SDF - Fallback.asset" keeps changing in version control before any changes are made? It caused Editor crashing when pushed recently, so I'd like to prevent it from happening again

[vivid cedar]

It might be your git settings. Possibly git interpreting the file as a text file instead of binary and adding byte order marks or trying to normalize line endings inappropriately

I ran into something like that recently - some .asset files are text and some are binary, so got can be stupid about it

The solution for me was explicitly telling git which specific.asset files were binary in .gitattributes

[minor gull]

Does anyone know when I can use unity on an iPad? I heard plans were in effect for that

[dusky forum]

Is the iPad operating with ios 15 or above?

iOS version support

Unity supports iOS 15 and above.

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/ios-requirements-and-compatibility.html

[vivid cedar]

The editor? Or games?

[minor gull]

Editor

[vivid cedar]

Afaik there are no plans to bring the editor to iOS

I'd be happy to be corrected but I doubt that will happen anytime soon

[minor gull]

The model is a 10th gen if that helps

[vivid cedar]

Those requirements linked are for building games for the platform. Not running the editor

[minor gull]

:(

[balmy palm]

Hey. If you want a portable device. Why not get a laptop then?

[copper gust]

A full game editor and touch exclusive controls is just incompatible tbh

[ebon bramble]

HI guys can someone PLEASE help me with importing this character i got at the store to unity? I m new i just want help please

[balmy palm]

Please don't suddenly beg in my dm. It's rude.

[copper gust]

(And will get you banned)

[vernal notch]

help me with this

[dapper current]

Where the heck is the option "convert materials to URP" gone?

[silent mica]

Window -> Rendering -> Converter. Seems like other upgrading workflows are doing a similar thing

[ember fossil]

i dont need job i will be labirinth game burglar elf hiring assasins and adventurers to find treasures and kill greedy kings and will escape from labyrinth with lots of treasures on my huge traausre magical train and drink coctail on crab islands join my kingdom inside Chaos Labirinth someone please stop me!

[shadow heron]

There's no off topic here.

[ember fossil]

i am making game iot s game description (game for unity)

[ebon bramble]

Ok but can u help pls

[worldly cave]

Still off topic

[ember fossil]

nope

i can shere screenshots and development plan

if anyone is interested

[worldly cave]

This is a help channel

If you want to talk about your project you should do it in #1180170818983051344

Not here

[ember fossil]

OK

how do im make procedural labirinth look coool?

[worldly cave]

[ember fossil]

i am usiong hex prisms as building blocks

any suggestions from game designers any shader ideas

[worldly cave]

You should make a thread

And ask there

[ember fossil]

where?

devs log?

or help thread?

[hollow parrot]

guys is there a way to bring in the water shader from Unity's Boat attack scene to my own project?

[worldly cave]

Yes

[worldly cave]

If its the same render pipeline then yeah you can litterally drag it over

[ember fossil]

OK

[ionic crystal]

btw is unity support usually awful? i emailed an opened a ticket like 4 days ago and NOTHING

[hollow parrot]

i'm a little dumb. Please expand on "literally drag it over" I am using URP unity V6.

[near wigeon]

Who knows...to give benefit of doubt there are probably thousands of ppl also needing help, not enough employees to answer quickly and prioritizing

[near wigeon]

Like put the files from one project to another , drag and drop files

[worldly cave]

If the unity project is also urp you can just find the shader file, litterally drag the file from one project to another from the file explorer

[near wigeon]

could be more to It , especially if there is a screen space effect in PP or the scriptable renderer .
There a couple of ready to go free ones on the asset store too, or github

[worldly cave]

To be honest i have no clue how advanced it is, but given it comes from a sample project it cant be that bad

Dont crosspost

[ember fossil]

OK]

need suggestions for my small indie game

[near wigeon]

I think I tried using it once a while ago and had issue but it's been a while I don't recall the details , doesn't hurt try try tho lol

[near wigeon]

No need to pester people about it...

[worldly cave]

Why are you like this

You asked here, i told you go to #1180170818983051344 for game feedback

[worldly cave]

Now youre back here

[near wigeon]

You have better luck posting in a gamers discord.

[tender oasis]

guys this character is swimming...

[ember fossil]

why are you ignorig me just hepl me a bit pls even small idea is great help

[worldly cave]

You were told where to find feedback and you keep asking here

[ember fossil]

ah

[worldly cave]

And also your #1180170818983051344 post is a blatant scam

[ember fossil]

ouch

[tender oasis]

help me fix this :((

[worldly cave]

So that isnt helping your case either

[ember fossil]

its not scam how tio fix it

how to fix post i reeved any colab sfrom it]

[worldly cave]

We need a lot more info before we can even tell whats happening, ask in #🏃┃animation

[ember fossil]

just ideas submitting

[worldly cave]

Provied as much detail as you can

[ember fossil]

for game dev enthusiasts

OK

[worldly cave]

That wasnt directed at you

[ember fossil]

i will provide them anyway

🙂

[worldly cave]

And no game dev enthusiast here will give you ideas and suggestions for a game that doesnt exist

[ember fossil]

it exusts i made engiune already

[worldly cave]

Let alone one that seems like a blatant crypto scam of some kind

[ember fossil]

i am not making any crypto games exept Atom Adventure 🤣

[worldly cave]

Your entire post is written by ai, offering revenue share and "diamonds"

[ember fossil]

i wnat to earnb SOL pwize iam low on money

[worldly cave]

You also use the pronoun we when its just you

[ember fossil]

its game items

ok i will delete revenu share

[worldly cave]

Youre offering money and looking for portfolios but you arent "job posting"

I think you should delete the entire post

Also "on-chain metadata" just confirms its a blatant crypto scam

[ember fossil]

fixed post

[ionic crystal]

fair fair

[hollow parrot]

If the unity project is also urp you can

[pure igloo]

been having troubles descerning with collision triggers. anyone got an idea as to how i can find out which colliders colliding is giving such triggers?

[copper gust]

Why would you even try to ping everyone

Theres thousands of people in this server

[arctic copper]

What is the best unity version for low end pc I got 5.6.2f1 is it a good version

[vivid cedar]

The latest version

that version is wildly outdated

[storm patio]

nearly a decade old, damn

[arctic copper]

See I have a really low end pc that's why I know some good tutorials for that version like brakeys old playlist

[storm patio]

i don't think that particularly matters

older does not mean more performant

[vivid cedar]

Windows 10 ran so much better than windows 8

later version does not mean harder to run

[arctic copper]

Yea see the latest version is just too heavy for my pc

[reef dome]

its not heavier than the version you are using

[storm patio]

have you actually tried or are you guessing

[arctic copper]

I tired I can't even cuz my pc is and hardware is just old 😖

Ram is low and cpu is decent but not enough for physics it can crash

[potent geyser]

The physics hasn't changed

[arctic copper]

Wait see the reason iam using old cuz the ram is just lower than even minimum requirements

If the latest can run normal at very low end pcs I will try it again if I can

[potent geyser]

Okay so I'm confused what the question is. If you're insisting that you can't run the latest version of Unity, then your answer is to continue using the old version you know works.

If you want to find the highest version you can run? Start downloading versions off the archive and find out.

[arctic copper]

Ok btw I got a pentium it's new and got 3 ghz and two cores and 2-4 threads and some people said it's not enough for higher than 2017 version

[potent geyser]

Then download a 2017 version.

There's really no conversation here, just download a version and see if you can run it.

[plucky aspen]

hiya. quick question;
how do i stop the camera from rotating like this when im trying to put a straight wall up?

scene flythrough cam*

[arctic copper]

Can you guys provide help in older unity versions

[reef dome]

I would say on 90% of the stuff, you are on a 10 year old version so some stuff might work differently

[jagged sage]

Gyus is 16gb enough for gamw dev or ahould i get 24gb

[plucky aspen]

as in ram or storage?

assuming ram: 16 is enough in my books depending on the project

[reef dome]

you can click on top right on the axis you want to lock on and then just dont use rotation controls, if you click the middle of that little thing there you can also switch to orthographic view

[plucky aspen]

thank you o7

[plucky aspen]

i think it also had smth to do with almost everything in my scene is rotated 🫠

forgot i made uneven terrain 😭

[plucky aspen]

example: im running unity off a laptop with 16GB RAM atm and its working fine

[jagged sage]

Have you ever seen a person with 16gb of storage

[plucky aspen]

yes

[reef dome]

yes

[jagged sage]

When

Unless it was some 20 years ago

[plucky aspen]

10 years ago, last week, etc

[jagged sage]

Last week?

[plucky aspen]

usb sticks are commonly 16GB

[plucky aspen]

yes

[jagged sage]

Oh

Forgot abt that option

[plucky aspen]

lmao

[reef dome]

me about 20 years ago, i had to uninstall fifa 2003 to install a racing game that i dont remember and vice versa

[plucky aspen]

w racing game experience

[reef dome]

I had 450mb main disk space

my first pc 😄

[plucky aspen]

W pc

im not old enough to remember those days :(

2007 hits hard

[jagged sage]

Would 24gb me more convinient or is it unecessary

[arctic copper]

Bro I am tweaking and running my pc on windows 7

[reef dome]

when I read 2007 my mind went to "wow he starts unity so young" and then it dawned on me that means 19yo
ready to pick up my crutches...

[plucky aspen]

they make 24? i thought the defaults were 8, 16, 32. 16 is fine, 24 idk, 32 its good for more detailed projects i believe. it's more personal preference but 32 is always recommended

[plucky aspen]

19 this year haha. tbf i did start unity on and off around 5 years ago

[jagged sage]

I have 8rn and i add 16

[reef dome]

you shouldnt do that

[jagged sage]

Why?

Compatibility?

[reef dome]

both 3 sticks of 8 and 1x8 + 1x16 is not recommended

always either 2 or 4 of the same stick

[plucky aspen]

it should be fine but 1x8GB and 1x16GB doesn't work good together. rather use 2x8 or 2x16 or 1x16

motherboards don't like it when you mix and match

[jagged sage]

Owh

[plucky aspen]

especially if they're different speeds

[jagged sage]

Welp im too poor for 32 gigs

[reef dome]

with 16 you are fine

[plucky aspen]

pov ai shot up ram prices

[jagged sage]

Ok then

[plucky aspen]

yeah. again, im using 16 on the laptop atm and its running perfectly

[arctic copper]

That's true

[jagged sage]

Yeah my laptop is running on 8 rn and

[plucky aspen]

i mean look at unity's minimum requirements

[jagged sage]

Its beggining to be wuite laggy on random times

My youtube just started tweaking for whatever reasons despite wifi not being the issue

[plucky aspen]

@jagged sage

[jagged sage]

After closing 3 tabs it was fine

[reef dome]

im currently running unity on a massive production application project and i use 6gb, so you should be fine

[plucky aspen]

and also unity works better when you have a dedicated gpu

[plucky aspen]

dayum

[arctic copper]

I am running unity but old on 2 gb ram and still getting alright performance

[jagged sage]

I have a 1650gtx

And i doubt i can change laptop gpu

[plucky aspen]

mines running 3GB

[plucky aspen]

that should be fine???

i believe so

tbf i started on a 1660 super

it was mid

[arctic copper]

Intel hd graphics 4000 💀

[plucky aspen]

integrated graphics is poor for unity

[reef dome]

Yeah my personal stuff usually runs below 5 too, this project is a bit bigger and eats 10GB + 3GB rider at times, but we have a team of 25 working on this, so nothing you will reach solo 😄

[plucky aspen]

hence i bought a gaming laptop with a 4060 for college work 😭

[jagged sage]

I havent really had issues so far
But thats because all i did was add a bean and movement so far

But i guess a 1650 should be fine

[plucky aspen]

dayummm! 25 is a lot. tbf this is only a small college project and should only take a small amount of time. my models are horrible so its optimised 🤣
(i cant model for anything. im decent at the coding bit tho)

[sly lake]

It's pretty fine. HD 4000 just means it's super old

Which also means the CPU is super old

[plucky aspen]

£5 and i'll make it mp 🤣

god no i hated multiplayer

[sly lake]

Unity isn't, in itself, heavy on the GPU.

[arctic copper]

Nah cpu is fine it can handle the unity physics and other stuff fine

[plucky aspen]

its mainly what you're doing with unity tbh

[jagged sage]

Also is combining 2 different brands of ram together fine?

[sly lake]

No.

[plucky aspen]

not usually

[jagged sage]

Man fuck me

[sly lake]

Get same make and model

[jagged sage]

[reef dome]

if they have the same speed it CAN be fine, but not optimal

[plucky aspen]

3 tiers of response

[reef dome]

i mean its better than not having enough ram 😄

but worse than having 2 of the same stick

[jagged sage]

Ram is getting screwed with prices rn so id be glad if i didnt have to buy the 16gb 1 stick

But ig not

[reef dome]

ddr5 is mainly getting screwed

buy second hand ddr4

[arctic copper]

I got ddr3

[jagged sage]

This is ddr4 and its 117€

[plucky aspen]

dayum

[jagged sage]

Yup

[reef dome]

you should see the high speed ddr5 prices, back when it was still the current one i bought 64gb of ddr4 with good speed for like 300€, the same quality and amount would now clock in at 950€

[plucky aspen]

i got my ddr4 2x16gb for like 60 quid

this was years ago now

[jagged sage]

Its a laptop so i cant really change the supportability

[plucky aspen]

changing laptop ram is a whole new world of problems

[jagged sage]

Im so done

[plucky aspen]

if you want new laptop ram badly, go to a repair shop. it'll be cheaper than pc ram by far because the ai companies can't buy out all the laptop ram and store it 🤣

[jagged sage]

Man i just need more ram why is it so complicated

[plucky aspen]

laptop ram is where its at

[jagged sage]

A REPAIR shop?

[plucky aspen]

idk a pc shop or sum

[jagged sage]

This is a pc shop
Or atleast a part of it

Where im at rn

[plucky aspen]

ohhh

if you have a laptop, and want more ram, ask them for laptop ram and for them to fit it. if they have the resources, time, team, etc. they'll do it

we're off topic aren't we...

[jagged sage]

They dont really do services for fitting them

[charred fog]

Keep it on topic, please. If you want to discuss PC configuration for Unity use https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1249155543264657408

[jagged sage]

Oh yeah

[plucky aspen]

sorry. thats on me

[arctic copper]

I am running the unity 5.6.x on 2 gb ram and a decent processor and a old os it's getting some smooth is that good or if I just try to make a game while developing ram crashes

[tough musk]

Hello. So unity AI packages have broken my project (endless loadings), I havent even been using them. I tried removing them, but even after editing them out of manifest, deleting package lock and removing Library folder, they are still there and cant be removed in the editor. How can I get rid of them?

I also get 2 console logs related to them, but they are really long, so ill just paste the headers:

UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)```

```Error: Unknown -  -- Result type: SettingsResult -- Url: https://generators-beta.ai.unity.com
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)

[reef dome]

check what it is a dependency for

[tough musk]

Can I delete these safely? Or not really?

yeah okay the only thing dependent on it is 2D enchancers which is prolly not relevant to my 3D game

finally they are removed, I'll see if the endless editor freeze is gone

[deft rock]

if you're not using them, you can remove them - if it allows

I dunno what that generators is, never seen that before. To do with AI?

[tough musk]

it seems so. In the manifest it was also under unity.ai

also it dependso on the Ai toolkit

anyway I managed to remove them and so far the freeze is gone

[deft rock]

were those in a new project template? 😮

[tough musk]

I dont remember adding AI packages. So yes, probably

but maybe I have dementia, project's around 4 months old

[deft rock]

heh, that's shit. Pre-release packages too

[tough musk]

yeah im pretty sure the AI assistant tab was there right after I created the project

im so glad I started learning coding 11 years ago when AI was not there yet, it would be too tempting

yet I know I couldnt do shit even with the best AIs if not for my knowledge

at least, for now, the way it designes architecture is terrible

[supple mica]

should i use visual studio 2022 or 2026 for learning C#

alot of sources recommend 2022

[marble fiber]

That’s like asking which hammer should I hit the nail with, the IDE doesn’t matter

[supple mica]

ok thanks for the answer

[storm patio]

a lot of sources don't know about vs 2026 by virtue of being written before 2026

(it doesn't matter)

[woeful spear]

I'm trying Camera stacking to exclude this one World Space UI canvas from post processing, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what's missing.

[deft rock]

Have you removed 'UI' from the culling mask on the main cam?
Can you share a screenshot of the post processing volume?

[woeful spear]

Yeah, removed UI from main.

Actually, it may be working I think. I noticed that my UI has become too tiny and dislocated from their positions, don't know why. Hard to see (see second screenshot).

Too tiny lol

I don't know why it dislocated and resized them.

[deft rock]

need more pixels! 😄

[woeful spear]

I'm using a constrait component to make those UIs keep looking at main camera. Maybe it's because of that. I'll need to check it.

[deft rock]

that's a simple script to code, ⁨transform.LookAt()⁩

[woeful spear]

Do I need to change location of UI camera? I just checked main camera and UI camera are far apart from each other. Shouldn't they be looking at same angle?

[deft rock]

You have the UI camera as a child of the main, it's pos/ rot values so should 0,0,0

otherwise you won't be seeing the UI things in front of the main cam

[woeful spear]

I tried to change location and it make UI at least bigger now. Orientation issues persist.

Let me try 000

I'll try on a simple test project. It's still floating in the air weirdly.

[deft rock]

"it" ?

[woeful spear]

The World Space UI canvas. I even removed constraint. That didn't seem to cause issue.

[deft rock]

I'm lost at what the issue is now

[woeful spear]

So I've placed this Canvas UI here on a particular location (1st photo). It's fixed just like a gameobject. Doesn't move. Which is as expected. But when I do the camera stacking, the UI floats in the air like this (2nd photo):

It floats here and there when I look here and there.

It's fixed now, I think. I just duplicated main camera and used that for UI now. Maybe I just needed exact same settings for both cameras.

But it's hit and trial.

I tried that but it didn't fix the issue. Duplicating and then making it child seemed to fix it. I don't know how though.

If I reset position and rotations to 0, it will still be not looking in same direction as main camera even if I make it child. I guess that's why it didn't work as intended.

Maybe. I downloaded that 1st person character from Unity tutorial. They said if you're beginner, just download it for now and use lol.

[undone monolith]

Hey all of a sudden in my game, SFX don't work at all and events don't occur. I'm confused since I didn't change any code and it was working before. Is this a Unity bug?

[vivid cedar]

A bit too vague and without detail for anyone to help

Start with basic debugging techniques like always

[undone monolith]

Few mins ago, everything was fine. I tried adding a new feature to the game and that's where I noticed the strange result. So i tried to redo everything and it's still like this

I'm fucking pissed off man. I gotta publish this tmrw 😭

[vivid cedar]

It doesn't really matter what led to this. The way to inverstigate is the same always

Use basic debugging - add Debug.Log or attach a debugger

you will quickly find your answer.

[gray frigate]

you might think that nothing has changed, but the computer clearly does!

[undone monolith]

This can't be a code issue. This worked few mins ago. I feel like smth got messed up in Unity itself

[gray frigate]

Telling us that you're certain it can't be a problem with your code isn't going to help you fix the problem.

You said that "events don't occur"

what does this mean, exactly?

[vivid cedar]

You know how many time people say stuff like this and after some basic debugging it's just like "oh I changd this or that, thanks"

[undone monolith]

So basically when i'm making a fighting game similar to Street Fighter. Before this issue, my code was working fine. SFX, VFX, Animations, and hits actually dealt damage etc. But when I tried to add a new feature, SFX and damage doesn't work anymore, and my old code doesn't work either

[vivid cedar]

There's no magic in software

debug it and you will see what's going wrong

[gray frigate]

you should make sure you aren't getting errors in your console

if not, then start figuring out what is happening

[potent geyser]

"tried to add a new feature"

[undone monolith]

That's the issue. I'm not getting any

[potent geyser]

Can't be paired with "nothing changed"

[vivid cedar]

time to debug then

[gray frigate]

Okay, so start figuring out what's actually happening

Do not make assumptions.

e.g. do not assume that exisitng code is running at all

prove that it is!

[undone monolith]

Bruh it was working few mins ago. How is reusing it magically broken?

[gray frigate]

I have no idea what your code does

It could be literally anything right now

[vivid cedar]

It was working -> something changed -> now it's not working

Time to debug to find out what changed

[gray frigate]

you could have accidentally thrown a return; at the top of SuperImportantUpdateLoop()

Stop arguing with us and start debugging.

If you have version control, use that to check exactly what has changed

[vivid cedar]

you could have checked a box in an inspector somewhere, or changed any variable, unassigned or assigned a reference

literally anything could have happened

[gray frigate]

if not...consider using version control!

it's extremely helpful for tracking down stuff like this

I'll accidentally change something and then realize that things are broken later

[undone monolith]

How can I try this?

[gray frigate]

If you aren't using vesrion control (e.g. Git or Unity Version Control), it's not going to help you now

You'd be comparing a previous commit (before the breakage happened) to the current code

for example, here's my current set of changes on a VRChat avatar I'm working on

(I'm working on a footstep system that kicks up dust)

no code has changed here, but I can see what assets have been modified

(and even inspect the changes, if I really want)

[gray salmon]

is it normal that my unity world looks blurry?

[gray frigate]

ah, the default SSAO

this is a URP project, right?

[gray salmon]

yeah

[gray frigate]

the default screen-space ambient occlusion looks uh

Like That™

[gray salmon]

so how do i change it?

[gray frigate]

You can either modify the default volume profile (it'll be in a folder with other URP assets) or create a new one that overrides the SSAO settings

let me grab a URP project

look for a 'Settings' folder in your assets

it will contain a DefaultVolumeProfile asset

adjust the SSAO settings or turn it off entirely

(I'm just looking at the files right now; if you don't see settings for SSAO, you'll need to add them to the volume profile)

[gray salmon]

i cant see "SSAO"

[gray frigate]

lemme open the project

will take a few minutes

[gray salmon]

and how do i do that?
i only know like a couple things in unity, and thats it. i know how to model/making 3d models. if i knew how to code, i would have the best superpowers

[gray salmon]

dw, ill wait

[gray frigate]

ah, right!

It lives somewhere else

[violet thunder]

It's a Renderer Feature in URP

[gray frigate]

Select the PC_Renderer asset

there it is

I don't use URP much so i forgor

Swapping to Interleaved Gradient and then messing with intensity + radius should help

e.g.

[gray salmon]

thank you so much, it helped

[gray frigate]

it gets wonkier up close

Ideally, you'll bake your lighting so that you don't need the realtime AO in the first place

[undone monolith]

Nah I can't understand shit

Debug done nothing

Bro my fucking code is fine

[gray frigate]

what does "done nothing" mean?

what did you actually do?

[undone monolith]

i legit swear this is a Unity bug

[fleet canopy]

so like

what’s your problem

with the code

or unity

[gray frigate]

scroll up a bit

[fleet canopy]

Oh

[gray salmon]

i dont even know what that is, but i think it can stay as it is. bc the difference is already big
(thanks again )

before - after

[undone monolith]

Unity

[gray salmon]

mostly the front part changed

[fleet canopy]

ummm I can’t see any code you shared on the problem you had, you could’ve also accidentally typed or deleted something in your code file without realising

[gray salmon]

@gray frigate nvm, smth is wrong again

[gray frigate]

yeah, Interleaved Gradient can cause that kind of hatched pattern

You can also just disable SSAO entirely if it's causing issues

[undone monolith]

Buddy, I've backed up this script if the project breaks. Well it broke so I tried reusing it, and that doesn't work either

[gray salmon]

if i disable it, what else will change if i may ask

[worldly cave]

you wont have real time ao

[gray frigate]

Nothing else, really. SSAO simulates how crevices don't get lit up by ambient light

that's called "ambient occlusion"

[fleet canopy]

maybe your computer audio is down or unity specifically is muted?

[gray salmon]

oh, alright then. so i only need to disable it like this, right?:

[gray frigate]

and this specific effect is calculated entirely based on where things are on the screen, hence "screen space"

[gray frigate]

Yeah

That'll turn off the renderer feature

[undone monolith]

the opponent is fine. This only happened for the player

[fleet canopy]

is the opponent a seperate set of sounds or something else?

[potent geyser]

If you're not going to show code, or anyhing useful beyond shouting into the void about how "nothing changed", then there's nothing to be done.

We can all just say "then it magically broke", good luck.

[gray frigate]

correct

[undone monolith]

Yeah

[gray frigate]

if you are going to ignore all of our input, we cannot help you

[fleet canopy]

yes to what???

and also some code would help because it’s highly likely your script

[undone monolith]

Last time I showed code, nobody even wanted to look at it

what do you expect me to do man

[fleet canopy]

are you sure nobody wanted to look at it or the people online didn’t know what to do

[potent geyser]

Okay, then stop posting please, you'remaking noise.

Or, make a thread and regurgitate that "nothing changed" in there.

[undone monolith]

I always get replies like this

So there's really no point either way

[potent geyser]

Okay then 🫴 #💻┃unity-talk message

[gray salmon]

I wanted to show u a pic of it after disabling it, but my PC crashed. I'll just describe it real quick:

The stripes on the back are still there, only the darkness got away

[gray frigate]

Oh, that could be "shadow acne"

[gray salmon]

Is it a blender issue or unity issue?

[gray frigate]

It's a rendering problem in Unity. You might need to fuss with your sun light's shadow settings

https://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/Manual/ShadowOverview.html

super old docs page, but it shows some problems shadows can have

[gray salmon]

Okay, thank you

[undone monolith]

Fucking hell

It WAS a Unity issue

Finally solved it. I knew that there was nothing wrong with my code

[potent geyser]

What was the Unity issue?

[karmic basalt]

im trying to but every time i reinstall the unity hub it doesnt allow me to install the editor once again

[storm patio]

how so? what's the issue you're encountering?

[undone monolith]

I created a public array wayy before and never needed to use it until this new feature, so it was acting weird

[potent geyser]

So not a Unity issue, but a code issue.

[karmic basalt]

well i kept getting the "failed to resolve project template, failed to decompress" error whenever i tried starting a project and digiholic told me i should reinstall it, upon reinstalling the unity hub i tried opening a project again and it showed the same error, soo i wanna reinstall the unity editor to see if maybe that'd fix it

[undone monolith]

Not a code issue

It could hold multiple game objects

I only assigned one

But i needed to assign more than that

[storm patio]

ok, so just a configuration mistake on your end then, not an issue in code nor from unity

[undone monolith]

Yeah I was looking at my code so many times. I legit thought I made a coding error 😭

[storm patio]

and why can't you install the editor

[potent geyser]

So in otherwords, it didn't magically happen.

[karmic basalt]

its not giving me the prompt to

[storm patio]

the prompt to what

[karmic basalt]

just jumping to the 2nd step

[karmic basalt]

to downloading the editor

[storm patio]

it's a button you have to press yourself

what "2nd step" are you referring to

[karmic basalt]

can i send a screenshot or?

[storm patio]

sure

[karmic basalt]

gimme a sec

[undone monolith]

My dumbahh thought I've filled the array before 🤦‍♂️

[potent geyser]

One day I hope to have the confidence you have when you can argue for over 30 minutes how something isn't your fault.

[storm patio]

sounds like you need to work on your debugging skills

[undone monolith]

I was overreacting since it was all good before and I have to release a test build tmrw 💀
The fact that it broke last minute was scary

[storm patio]

this is a guide, you don't have to use it

[karmic basalt]

ah

[storm patio]

just install an editor normally

[karmic basalt]

and how would i go about doing that

[storm patio]

pretty sure there's a button in the hub that says "install"

[karmic basalt]

well would you look at that

well thanks that was dumb of me

[solemn quest]

hi guys just an information I've opened a closed beta on play console and i need 12 people so far I've 9 between family and friends, where could i find people easily?

[karmic basalt]

discord and reddit

[solemn quest]

yeah can you recommend any channel?

[worldly cave]

here you can only really make a post in #1180170818983051344

for that

thats about it

[solemn quest]

tha k you

[brave gust]

i managed to make epilepsy ui lmao

screen space camera canvas thats right on the point where the camera's clipping plane is

[karmic basalt]

absolute cinema

[naive cloud]

How would one adjust difficulty (0..1) based on how the player performed in a level, and the previous difficulty that was on?

[storm patio]

in terms of design or in terms of just changing variables?

[naive cloud]

the variables

basically what formula would people use for this?

[storm patio]

you just assign them to the new value, kept in some persistent location

[storm patio]

ok, so the design then...

this heavily depends on your specific game, the various features, the various metrics you want to use

perhaps check out some resources like "invisible difficulty" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkvyYTSKTQY

[gray salmon]

is this a good setting for a unity project?

for the shadow acne

[gray frigate]

I'm not sure, really – I mostly do BiRP stuff for VRChat, and the rest of my experience is with the HDRP

You should ask about this in #1390346776804069396 – I bet someone else will know more

[gray salmon]

okay, thanks

[limpid pivot]

I have a very specific question but I understand if I can not provide more information
We are developing a software in URP for a windows 10/11 build
But if we were to make a game that runs in the cloud, (run on azure servers), what are the steps I would need to worry about?

[pearl oyster]

You'd have to explain what it means for the game to run in the cloud. Is it for multiplayer? What does the game do in the server?

[karmic basalt]

what should i install for game development

visual studio thing

[potent geyser]

Unity for starters.

You can install Visual Studio along with Unity automatically, if you do everything through Unity Hub (which you should).

[karmic basalt]

i am but its giving me options like the

node.js and stuff

unity game making with c++

soo i wanna know what to choose

Has anyone ever figured out how to copy to clipboard on a webGL build in Safari? I'm having so much trouble with this right now; I've check dozens of stackOverflow posts and forums but none of the options they provide seem to be working rn; the clipboard writeText api is not working with Unity OnClick in safari specifically

[spare cedar]

how do you set up ui buttons from ui toolkit to do actions?

like teleporting a player to scenes etc

[deft rock]

#🧰┃ui-toolkit

[spare cedar]

ty

[placid yew]

Where's the best place to ask this? Or should I post on forum as well

[shadow heron]

Sorry for the late reply :p, How would I get the intended trajectory? I have been searching online and it confused the hell out of me.

[deft rock]

#🌐┃web seems the place - but I'd wager the forum is the best place

[worldly cave]

with physics

like actual physics lol, you can find the exact parabola of a thrown object through a few equations

oh wait youre asking about the intended trajectory?

thats just how you want the ball to fly out when thrown, thats entirely up to you to decide and tweak

what i was refering to was the trajectory preview

[old thunder]

hi all, i'm doing the roll-a-ball unity tutorial and confused by something. When adding a tilted ramp obstacle (a rotated cube) to the game area, the tutorial says to add it as a child of the ground object. But i think because the ground has scaling of 2/1/2 whenever i rotate the ramp object it skews its angles and also its collision box doesnt match its visual box. this isnt mentioned in the tutorial so i'm wondering how to handle this and make the collision box match things visually

[shadow heron]

Basically I have a line renderer and when I press the shoot button I want the ball to follow this with physics so it feels / looks realistic (where ever the line is the ball follows).

[worldly cave]

I think i already replied to you

and told you the same thing Chris did

youre doing it backwards.

you start off with the ball being thrown, you figure out how you want it to fly out, then you create the trajectory prediction dynamically from that

the line follows the ball, not the other way around.

[shadow heron]

ahh I see thanks 👍

[potent geyser]

You cannot just "make a line renderer" and then have actual physics follow it, as mentioned before when you brought this up.

[deft rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VUmhuhkELk

I've had this video for 5 years and not gotten round to watching it, but it should help

[potent geyser]

You need to simulate the physics and then draw the trajectory. The line has absolutely nothing to do with the ball itself.

[limpid pivot]

My biggest concern would be shader limitations. Would it still be limited to webgl shaders? Would it need to be run on Linux since it is a server?

Battery phone died sorry

[deft rock]

Azure won't be linux..

[limpid pivot]

So it is a windows server with most likely dx11?

[deft rock]

We have google, so .. why guess.. or speculate.

Yes, a significant portion of Azure is Linux-based. Over 60% of Azure customer compute cores run on Linux, and Microsoft has developed its own open-source Linux distribution, Azure Linux (formerly CBL-Mariner), which serves as the container host for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and other cloud services

Just to be clear, are you wanting to stream the game like Amazon's Luna?

[plain dagger]

If this all a miss understanding about how web hosting works I will laugh

[deft rock]

Sounds like it

[pearl oyster]

You're confusing completely unrelated things (WebGL, Linux, Azure)

What are you trying to accomplish with this, in one sentence? Something like "I want to make a game that can be played on a browser" or "I want to make a multiplayer game"

[limpid pivot]

My boss wants to:
“make a software in Unity that runs in the cloud like those games people play in the Xbox, probably will hire azure or aws”

[potent geyser]

Lol what does that even mean ...

So ... multiplayer?

[worldly cave]

I think you should ask your Boss to clarify whatever he actually asked you to do

[potent geyser]

Did your boss give you an example game at least?

[limpid pivot]

Do you all remember stadia?

[deft rock]

Yes

Xbox Cloud Gaming and Amazon Luna do that now

[limpid pivot]

He wants that so no one is required to have minimum hardware to run it

[limpid pivot]

That is the only thing I need to worry since multiplayer coding is not made by me. Just the shaders

[potent geyser]

That doesn't seem like anything to do with Unity then, if it's just being streamed to the playe.r

[worldly cave]

Also isnt this already geforce experience

which still exists

geforce now*

my bad

[potent geyser]

Also not sure why shaders is a factor here, if the player isn't the one running it.

[limpid pivot]

But the game is compiled in unity. I don’t understand what you mean

[plain dagger]

Unity can build for linux

as long as you have a working gpu under linux it will work
anyway any game would work with such a system

[pearl oyster]

Note that streaming a game from a server is an extremely difficult engineering problem. Shaders are the least of your issues

[limpid pivot]

So unity is mostly likely going compiled for Linux instead of windows then?

[deft rock]

it's compiled for whatever server platform you host it on

[pearl oyster]

and it sounds like you really don't have the skillset to tackle this

[limpid pivot]

It is not my job that part. I am aware it sounds hard

[deft rock]

How come attempt to recreate your own streaming service like this though? And not just use one that already exists..

[pearl oyster]

What is your job then?

[limpid pivot]

Technical artist

Writing shaders, making textures and 3D objects

Scene building

[pearl oyster]

You have to ask the guy who does the actual server part then
