[indigo forge]

I don't think so, at least, not that I can see

My main question is how do I get specific inputs like left and right?

[storm patio]

well if you need to do different actions you would have them be different actions

but as the axis/composite you have now, the value of the vector will indicate the input

[indigo forge]

huh?

Also, how can I make it so that holding down a button works

Sorry, I haven't really worked with C# in years, and even then I didn't work on it much

[storm patio]

sounds like the velocity is decaying from drag/friction? save the input value and apply it continuously rather than just once when the input is received

[storm patio]

which part of that do you need clarification on

[indigo forge]

all of it, how do I split a vector into 2 different velocities, I am making something that means I need to be able to switch only the x and y velocities. Also, what do I type to have different actions, do I make it OnLeft or something?

[storm patio]

not sure what you mean by that first part

[indigo forge]

Just how can I split it as an x velocity and y velocity

[storm patio]

how you have it now means you get (1, 0) if you press D, (-1, 0) if you press A, etc

[storm patio]

.x and .y?

it's a normal vector2

[indigo forge]

Yeah, I know, I am just forgetting how a vector2 works

[sacred sparrow]

ehm, why is it throwing this error?

[storm patio]

if you needed them as different actions you would have separate input actions in the input actions asset, and receive separate messages for each input action

but if it's just for moving you would have that as a composite to make the logic easy

[storm patio]

have you added it to your asmdef

[sacred sparrow]

i can't find it

[indigo forge]

So this would not work, I would need to break it up, right?

[storm patio]

i don't know what you want

[sacred sparrow]

oh wait

it's just Unity. now

[indigo forge]

I am trying to make something where I need to swap player inputs for only left and right, but not up and down, depending on the moment

[storm patio]

i do not know what you mean by "swap inputs"

what is the end goal here

is this a confusion mechanic where controls are reversed horizontally?

[near wigeon]

just * -1 the float?

[storm patio]

as a Vector2 it'd be * new Vector2(-1, 1) or .Scale(-1, 1) or .x *= -1

[polar basalt]

how do you change from read only so you can edit it?

[reef dome]

copy it out of the fbx file

[shadow heron]

iirc you just duplicate the animation.

[polar basalt]

oke thank you

[lapis gate]

yeah you can never edit the import stuff directly when it comes to formats like fbx so you need to dupe it or if like the mesh you make a prefab variant of it

[shy dock]

Hi, Im working on a tool for unity and I would like to find people who are interested in trying it out. Is it allowed to advertise my stuff here in dc? If so, on which channel?

[summer minnow]

You will find the answer in #🔎┃find-a-channel .

[elfin hazel]

So basically I am making a gorilla tag Horror game. And I need help. For whenever I get close to a monster I know when I'm not near a monster. Because every time I press play and I add the audio to the monster I can hear it from all the way from stump. Can anybody please help me out with this?

[royal crescent]

Is there anyone in here that would like to help me?And my friends worked on this game if so please d m me

[stuck flower]

Not how this works. Ask a question first, if so eone knows the answer they'll answer it

[royal crescent]

I just need like coders, builders and like pretty much everything I have some friends that know how to do it.They're just not that good at

[stuck flower]

If you are looking for people to make the game for you, you'll have better luck on the collaboration forum

!collab

[royal crescent]

That doesn't help

[elfin hazel]

What number do you think I should change the radius to

[stuck flower]

Considering you are allowed to make such a request there, and not allowed to do so here, then it should

[stuck flower]

What radius do you want it to be heard in

[royal crescent]

It doesn't even show me where I can type stuff out at

[stuck flower]

Then you'll have to look harder. Navigating a webpage is significantly easier than making a video game and if it's too hard you might want to put in some more time in learning how to use a computer before diving in to game development

[royal crescent]

My friends know the basics of making a game. They don't know much and i'm good at thinking of different things.And adding different things.And how the game should work?And all that i'm good at thinking of it

[fleet canopy]

maybe

[royal crescent]

I'm gonna learn it and then forge

My whole thing is like I learned something new.And then I just forget it

[fleet canopy]

yeah you have to keep applying what you learn

if you learn a concept and don’t touch it you’ll forget it

keep making stuff

[royal crescent]

I'm mostly good at thinking. And then explaining stuff to other people like how this should probably do that.And how this should probably do that or we should add this to a game or add that to a game.I'm not really good at coding or making the games

[fleet canopy]

you can always learn

if you do want to hire people you’ll need to follow the link digi sent

[stuck flower]

Then you should probably pick up some more skills because "idea guy" is not actually a position on a development team

[fleet canopy]

eh, big companies usually allow people who don’t know how to do anything to be project managers so that they can annoy the devs

[stuck flower]

Those are the people providing money

If you can't provide skills, you can always provide capital

[slow dirge]

Not to be rude, but if you "learn and forget" something, you're probably not as good at "thinking" as you claim.
And yeah. Everyone has great ideas for a game. It's not about great ideas, but about being able to materialize them in into a great game.

[gusty abyss]

can someone help me??? i keep building but my apk file isnt there and it is deleted

[vivid cedar]

Check your console and editor logs for errors

[gusty abyss]

ok i deleted my library and my map isnt even there

i thought unity cloud saves it>???

[vivid cedar]

your map?

Wdym by that

[gusty abyss]

yes and the chracter

only the scripts and stuff

[vivid cedar]

YOu're being very vague

are you talking about your scene?

Why did you delete your library

[gusty abyss]

uhm i deleted the library folder cant restore it and now i dont see my map

[vivid cedar]

again you're being very vague Unity has:

• The Assets folder, which contains your project assets
• Scenes (which are themselves assets and live in the project folder)

WHen you open a scene that's when you see all the stuff in the hierarchy etc

sounds like you probably just closed your scene

and/or opened a new/blank one

[vivid cedar]

Unity cloud doesn't save anything by default, no

[gusty abyss]

i SMH fiuxed it the map is back

[vivid cedar]

As for the build issue, you need to do this

[gusty abyss]

ok

[vivid cedar]

THere's at least one error in there

scroll and find it

[gusty abyss]

i remmeber seeing android sadk is missing

[vivid cedar]

If you want help you have to stop being vague

[gusty abyss]

OHHH THERE THEY ARE THE ERRORS ARE THERE WHEN I TRIED TO BUILD

yea ok im sorry my spelling is ass

the android sdk thing is there and it says "Android SDK Build-tools component is not found. Make sure all tools are installed in the SDK manager.
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_InvokeTickEvents ()"

also im making a vr game if that helps

@vivid cedar ^^

hello?

[vivid cedar]

start googling those errors. But it sounds like you haven't fully installed the android build stuff, or something happened when you deleted the library folder

[gusty abyss]

alright

[gusty abyss]

i heard to download android studio

[stable sky]

Is it possible to run the nature renderer on the unity 6.3 version, or are there any other alternatives?

[sly lake]

Yeah, this is why Nature Renderer isn’t recommended. You get no support. Only expensive upgrades to the next version which may or may not have bugs that will never get fixed.

There’s GPU Instancer Pro for the instancing part, and The Visual Engine for the vegetation shaders. These two work together.

Plus in my experience they don’t break with every version.

[rose flicker]

Does every script have to be attached to a game object?
Like if I am making a stats script for each monster and some of them haven't spawned, do I still have to attach their stats scripts to something?

[stable sky]

Aren't there any free ones?

[dusky forum]

If it isn't a component, you wont not need to attach it.

[sly lake]

Thanks, I'll try.

[hybrid dock]

I can’t open my projects help pls

[orchid crane]

I just started unity and i have a bunch of packages that are causing errors that I cant delete, what should I do

[gray dirge]

Please provide screenshots or descriptions of what is preventing you from doing so. We can't read minds

[hybrid dock]

Idk when I try too open it. It just doesn’t work

[gray dirge]

Open from where (unity hub? somewhere else?), how (clicking the project name? adding project from disk?)? Be specific, what "doesn't work" means? Do you get error messages? does nothing happen (and if so, do you get any indications of something happening like a loading cursor or the load bar under the project name)?

[hybrid dock]

Unity hub

Here is a video

[gray dirge]

I would start by checking the hub logs: https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/manual/Help.html. Since it's clearly not doing what it is supposed to do, there might be some error messages in there

[hybrid dock]

Ok

Thx

[gray dirge]

[safe garden]

2 questions if anyone knows:

1. Is there a hotkey for play scene, stop, etc? Rather than having to click the play button
2. Can you lock the mouse cursor to Unity so the mouse doesn't fly off and accidentally click your other monitor?

[dusky forum]

Try looking through these for the keyboard shortcuts
https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.2/Documentation/Manual/UnityHotkeys.html

[celest sparrow]

yes

[dusky forum]

With a script, you could optionally lock and hide the mouse if needed to display your own fake cursor. I don't believe you can manipulate the mouse without working with the OS API

[celest sparrow]

for mouse, code it like:......i forgot lmao

anyway u can find it cuz IDE will tell u

something like State.Lock

Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;

yeah i just asked my dear IDE

[celest sparrow]

and hot keys are: ctrl + P, pause is Ctrl + Shift + P

[gray dirge]

That would only lock the mouse to not allow any movement and it would also only work when playing. If they want to only be able to move on one monitor in editor, what dalphat said holds, sounds OS level stuff not controlled by unity

[celest sparrow]

maybe not, cuz i only use Ctrl + P, and puase it by code, like: Debug.Break();

[celest sparrow]

oh okay

I misunderstood.

for

limiting

[gray dirge]

I mean the question wasn't very specific, I'm not sure either what they meant

[celest sparrow]

u can just use CursorLockMode.Confined

just remember Cursor.lockState

other things...ask IDE

[dusky forum]

Note that confined cursor lock mode is only supported on the standalone player platform on Windows and Linux.

So it'll not be applicable in the Editor if that's something that's necessary.

[rose flicker]

Thanks for thy answer on perhaps my nonintelligent question about the scripts

[celest sparrow]

if u dont wanna add component for all the enemies

u can make a "EnemyManager" to control them in one place

[rose flicker]

thanks I understood components

[celest sparrow]

struction will be like : for enemy in enemy_list: enemy.Attack(someone)

just a loop

[celest sparrow]

lmao why we need it work in editor, that will be a little annoying

cuz u always need to move ur mouse to other places, maybe assets folder, inspector, so it doenst work will sounds more makes sense

[dusky forum]

A play session in the Editor will not exhibit the behavior - they'll need to create a build every time if they're simply wanting a cursor within the game window. As is, we're uncertain of what's needed.

[celest sparrow]

well, for that one, can try to Clmap "Input.mousePosition"

i think it will slove it

for game system, it always get a mouse position that already been clmaped

if ur mouse is in inside, no change, if is in outside, then clamp it, still same position in the end

[hybrid dock]

Help I cant open my projects on unity hub

[reef dome]

What error are you getting?

Idk

I click twice and nothing happens

ah okay thank you for the help

And one more thing, if you are just starting out try not to rely on AI, especially for netcode, most models are severely outdated on info, hallucinate solutions or will put bugs in your code which you cannot identify without knowing Unity yourself

it does seem that way

Guys can I store functions in a scriptable object?

[deft rock]

A scriptable object can have methods , yes

[rose flicker]

thanks for answering my scriptable object question

If I want every magic type to have stats I would use scriptable objects, but do I have to make a scriptable object for each magic or can I like store them all in the same scriptable object?

[deft rock]

The point of the SO is to store data, you would have multiple SO assets, 1 for each magic

[rose flicker]

That was all, thanks for helping me with scripting

[celest sparrow]

and dont fotget that u shouldn't change the data of so instance while playing, it will be actually changed even u stop to play in editor

[rose flicker]

Yeah a video of that just popped out

Ok guys so I got like another question

Each magic in my game will have a status effect that will happen when a thing is hit

So like effects are functions with a target

How would I make it so that I can also store the effects on my scriptable objects?

Like it hits, it checks the scriptable object then it checks if it has a status effect and then applies it

[celest sparrow]

i just said dont change any datas of so instance😭

[rose flicker]

No not in game

For example Fire Magic inflicts burning

and I need to attach a function to the scriptable object so the script that does the hit detects the status

Do I use a string for each status

or can I put functions?

[rose flicker]

I WONT CHANGE ANY DATA

I want to just know if I can put a function in a variable

of an instance

[celest sparrow]

if its a common effect

[rose flicker]

like public function MyFunction

[celest sparrow]

u can just set a enum

[deft rock]

You can change the data as much as you want, if you need to. Just don't do it expecting the data to save between sessions (in a build)

[celest sparrow]

a script check wut value it is then it find the method itself

[celest sparrow]

yes, Function or Action

Action<T,..> valueName

[rose flicker]

then I drag a monobehaviour in there?

[deft rock]

Your method will say effect.Play and you'll have a field that you assign that affect to (assuming particle system)

[celest sparrow]

nope, i think u cant drag something to a Action

[rose flicker]

Status effects like burning , poison

[rose flicker]

So I use a string

[deft rock]

I'm not talking about an action.

[rose flicker]

and then the hit script checks for that status effect?

[celest sparrow]

well if u mean monobehaviour, u can do it actually, monobehaviour valueName, then drag it

[rose flicker]

I know how to do the particle stuff

[celest sparrow]

but u need to find the method then

like "value.GetMethod("abc").Invoke()"

[deft rock]

use nameof not strings

[rose flicker]

and using an instance wont allow me to do that, so I guess I use strings for each status effect?

[celest sparrow]

sure u can

i mean there are a lot of way to make it

[rose flicker]

Whats the difference?

[celest sparrow]

just do wut u want

[copper gust]

This is not the route

[celest sparrow]

wut u mean route

[rose flicker]

I dont get the option to write that

[copper gust]

People do not need to be doing that

[rose flicker]

its not in my unity

[celest sparrow]

sure

just do wut u want

[rose flicker]

Time to code the magics

[celest sparrow]

u can just make it

then when found the problem, ask here

cuz there are a lot of way u can make it

[rose flicker]

Ok Maxy I understood...

[celest sparrow]

idk wut code u will write like, u can just use enum or string or action to mean diff effect, they are actually same, just make a way to tag diff effect, then execute the effect, thats the core part

[rose flicker]

I opened 2 unity project and my pc crashed is that normal?

[storm patio]

no

ok

[flat breach]

hello, it's been a week since I'm trying to learn photon fusion 2 to make multiplayer games and I feel like it's hard to get help from their community and no one helps, don't you guys think I should immediately try to learn unity netcode or another option like this?

[sacred sparrow]

i'm switching from Mirror to Unity Netcode

bc i'm going with ECS

[umbral urchin]

ok sorry

[sacred sparrow]

if you are still using GameObjects, go with Mirror

else if you are trying DOTS and ECS, use NetCode

[flat breach]

what's ECS lol? I'm new sorry if I don't understand

[sacred sparrow]

EntityComponentSystem

[umbral urchin]

@flat breach türkmüsün sen

[sacred sparrow]

if your game is planning to use a lot of objects that do logic, ECS is def the way

it will improve performance by A LOT

[flat breach]

yok

[umbral urchin]

değilsin

anladım

ok

i understand

[sacred sparrow]

can you talk english pls

[umbral urchin]

sorry @sacred sparrow

we from turkey

[flat breach]

oh okay, as I'm new, I'm not looking for the best tool for performances or whatever but just something which would get me onto the multiplayer path and allow me to learn and build good games on the way

[sacred sparrow]

then prob Mirror is the easiest to start with

[umbral urchin]

i leave

bye

[viscid raft]

lol bye

[umbral urchin]

(:

[flat breach]

okay, thanks

when beginning with mirror, did you actually watch tutorials? try to understand some premade projects or another thing?

[sacred sparrow]

there are tutorials, and very good docs

• a somewhat active discord community

tho seems like #1390346492019212368 also accepts Mirror questions

[flat breach]

okayy, thank you so much, is the doc this one?

Ive gotten this issue with my editor how do I fix it do I need to redownload a new one

[viscid raft]

Please update for latest fixes

[urban delta]

update how or what

do I unistall this editor and install 6000.3.8f1

or is it also bugged

[viscid raft]

I feel like the memo is clear that this editor version has an issue, so you should uninstall it

As for if the newer ones do work, I would assume so yes.

Clearly it warrants a notification and as such you should update to a newer versionr egardless

Anyone know about this error?

[dull prawn]

hiya, i'm a complete beginner to unity trying to make something for a game jam at the moment. i created my own spritesheet for a 2d player sprite to add into my game, but for some reason, when i try to drag in my sprite into the scene as shown, it won't let me at all. this happens when my file is in both a png and aseprite file format. does anyone know why this might be happening?

[zealous cliff]

happens whenever I import any blender FBX model, I even tried the default cube and imported that still get this error

tried removing the library folder and having unity rebuild it

[flat wraith]

your in the animation tab

try switching back to the scene

[dull prawn]

okay that got it working! thank you so much!

[flat wraith]

dont worry I've also been there before

and no problem

[celest sparrow]

game window is diff from scene window

just notice that in case

☝️

[dull prawn]

alright, thanks for telling me :)

[plain dagger]

Scene view is for looking around and modifying your scene. Game view shows the camera outputs and is where you look during play mode.
Though scene view still works in play mode so is useful to inspect things then too.

[fathom siren]

how do i fix this

[celest sparrow]

wut version ur using

[fathom siren]

2022

[celest sparrow]

as i know, unity already do this job automaticlly after unity 2022

[fathom siren]

awh shoot

[celest sparrow]

well, then it should be already done by unity

lol

[fathom siren]

welp it is definitely not

[celest sparrow]

if not, u have to do it by urself

but i dont do it by myself for a long time

[fathom siren]

well i went to the exact path

still not working

yikes i gotta back up from my monitor

@celest sparrow what would you say i do in this situation

dang bro left me

[celest sparrow]

im opening my unity

[fathom siren]

ohh ok

[reef laurel]

im looking for devs

[fathom siren]

look somewhere else for now twin

my unity tweaking

[reef laurel]

whoever is my 1st dev gets owner

[celest sparrow]

@fathom siren did u download Android pack and select all u need when u download unity?

[fathom siren]

yesyes

[celest sparrow]

i tried to find my setting

but i just found, unity doesnt show it for me

unity just auto did it then hide it

so yeah, idk why ur unity didnt do it

[fathom siren]

why didn’t mine do that 🤔

[celest sparrow]

[fathom siren]

can we call and figure this out :c

[celest sparrow]

wut version u using

[plain dagger]

Did you untick the "blah blah installed with unity" options here?

[celest sparrow]

nah there is no vc in this server

[fathom siren]

they were ticked at first and i still has the same problem

[celest sparrow]

just download a new unity version in 2022

mine is this

u did this before?

make sure this

[fathom siren]

thats mine yoo

[fathom siren]

yep

[celest sparrow]

then weird lol

[celest sparrow]

this version should be auto done by itself

[plain dagger]

Are you using the external dependency manager in this project? @fathom siren

lets stop with the flood of information

[fathom siren]

uhhh the what

[plain dagger]

If you are using unity ads/level play then it is already in your project
(It allows ios and android plugins to function)

[fathom siren]

uhhh how do i check if i am

[plain dagger]

If so I recommend installing the JDK on your pc anyway: https://www.oracle.com/uk/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk25-windows

I think it has a menu under Assets?

[fathom siren]

i do not think i am

[celest sparrow]

just found my setting of JDK

[plain dagger]

Then try re enabling the "use recommended" options then restart the editor

[plain dagger]

not helpful

[sacred sparrow]

yeah you did not select the toggles

[plain dagger]

They said they tried already with them on but lets see if re enabling and restarting helps

[sacred sparrow]

oh ok

[fathom siren]

restarted earlier

still doing it

[sacred sparrow]

why not update your Unity?

[fathom siren]

I heard 2022 is best for vr games

[sacred sparrow]

well, it's very old

[celest sparrow]

u tried redownloading the android pack?

[celest sparrow]

just 4 years ago

😭

[fathom siren]

nope

how does one do that :)

[celest sparrow]

i guess......................uninstall it and then install it

to do it

lol

[plain dagger]

Open unity hub, find the version and "add modules"

[fathom siren]

okkkk

[celest sparrow]

its for "add"

[fathom siren]

oh yeah i cant remove nun

[plain dagger]

If its already added then it may be worth installing the latest 2022 and trying that (with android stuff)

Though be warned that soon 2022 will be too old for mobile dev without a pro license

[plain dagger]

okay i wont look at phone pics anymore

learn how to screenshot

[fathom siren]

mb twin

[celest sparrow]

yep, download 2022 again to see if the android pack fixed already

[plain dagger]

use the "unity download archive" website to install any unity version

[fathom siren]

won’t i lose my project tho?

[plain dagger]

Do you have backups or use source control?

If so its safe to "upgrade" the project

If not then once opened in a later version you cannot downgrade easily

[celest sparrow]

nope

[fathom siren]

connecting it now

[celest sparrow]

unity engine and unity project

[fathom siren]

to the version controll thing

[celest sparrow]

they are two things

[plain dagger]

well duh

[fathom siren]

ok what version do yall recommend for vr games

[worldly cave]

Probably the one that says "recommended" right next to it

[celest sparrow]

never make VR game cuz i dont have VR

[plain dagger]

If you have no reason to be on 2022 use unity 6

[fathom siren]

im in the archive einstein

[plain dagger]

BUT too late now so follow previous instructions to backup/sourc control first

[worldly cave]

damn whats with the attitude

[plain dagger]

then you can upgrade to unity 6

who?

[stuck flower]

Why

[fathom siren]

i think imma use 6.1

[worldly cave]

the person who called me einstein lol

[plain dagger]

Cool but my final warning to have a backup/commit pre opening this project in Unity 6

[celest sparrow]

that means ur a smart guy~

Einstein, not Epstein

🤓

[worldly cave]

what

[fathom siren]

ok so i have the version control whatever thing, so my shi won’t discombobulate when i launch right?

[fathom siren]

Epstien 😭

[worldly cave]

Well you need to actually make a commit for your project

just "having it" doesnt really protect your project unless youre regularly making commits and pushing to a branch

[plain dagger]

If starting to use VC now then as long as you commited everything then yes its safe (as you will be able to discard all the changes made to go back)

I have no idea tbh if you understand this or not so im playing it safe 😆

[fathom siren]

partially 😭

imma just risk it for a chocolate biscuit

[worldly cave]

You can also make a rudimentary local backup if you want to be sure

firstly, put ur hands on the keyboard

then think about wut u gonna type

then type each letter

[mild flame]

bro can't i just tell a guy who can or want to help?

[worldly cave]

If you ask your question, on whatever youre stuck on

someone who might have a solution will come along

no you cannot just randomly solicit people to help you specifically

[celest sparrow]

just ask

someone pick it up maybe

[worldly cave]

Litterally just ask lol

[celest sparrow]

yep

[worldly cave]

its as simple as that idk why youre overcomplicating it so much

[celest sparrow]

just dont ask by chinese

cuz nobody understand it

[mild flame]

like there's a professor who gave me a job and i got just some days for it, i never used unity and he want me to make a videoplayer 360 with a menu for 3 specific videos, can someone tell me how? not saying slide me if someone already did just show me how to

and im forced to accept it

[worldly cave]

Okay so this is something else...

this is a place to ask questions about issues you have while working in unity

[mild flame]

i just want to underwstand how to do maybe with someoen who can explain

youtube aint working

[worldly cave]

what youre asking is for someone to do your assigned project for you

[mild flame]

no for me 💀

i want truly do that but i need someone wh ocan explain

[worldly cave]

Sounds to me like you underestimated just how much effort and time this is going to take, and now youre trying to do it last minute and having no luck....

Let me be honest, nobody will do this for you

At most people will help you if you get stuck on something specific doing it yourself

but nobody will sit down and walk you through how to implement everything your professor asked of you

[mild flame]

kuzmo i think you're just getting conclusion fast.. you know nothing and im not trying to use nobody

why you making an entire film on something who you just came up with?

i said the whole thing.

i have been on youtube for 1 day but none of the videos work or did the thing as i expected

i am trying

[celest sparrow]

lmao

[mild flame]

i just want to understand, not to get the job done

wtf is wrong with you

im sorry

ok?

[worldly cave]

bruh its not that serious lol

[mild flame]

it is if you just accuse me of something

[worldly cave]

im just telling you nobody here will walk you through your assignment

[mild flame]

and pretend to talk shit about me

[worldly cave]

😭 dude what the hell are you talking about

[mild flame]

then don't see it as an assignment but a person who want to understan how to make that assignment

no?

nah

you gotta think i want to use people

you're in burn out

you aint normal bro

i'd rather leave the server, thanks for not helping i just feel lower now

[worldly cave]

im so fucking confused right now

[primal creek]

that was weird.

[celest sparrow]

All i said was that people wont help him with the entire project directly, but would answer and help if they get stuck on any specific part

[celest sparrow]

[shadow heron]

He's probably trolling, he didn't get what he wanted so he left lol

[worldly cave]

I think i read him like a book, and he got mad

[celest sparrow]

sadly, i cant read the tone from english, or maybe i can get why hes mad just now

[reef laurel]

whos mad?

[worldly cave]

I think he understood that nobody here was going to give him a 1:1 walkthrough for his project and figured he tries his luck elsewhere

Well whatever, its over whatever the hell that was

[rose flicker]

I can't drag the particle system(water particles) to the variable

[normal tiger]

does anyone know how I can move the input system up when I tried to select the component which it seems like it is but it moves the whole player not seeing any options here to move positions or anything,

[vivid cedar]

move the input system up?

WHat does that even mean

what would be the point of that.

The playerinput gizmo will be drawn at the object's position

[normal tiger]

I'm in. Sorry. I found it.

[vivid cedar]

that's the CharacterController

nothing to do with "the input system"

[normal tiger]

basically the issue was this was not covering my whole player and for some reason when I was moving around my character, my character was going above that. But it's fixed now

[vivid cedar]

You are very likely getting confused by having this set to "Center"

[normal tiger]

thank you. I've got it to work. That was the problem

[rose flicker]

Guys I messed up again, why are the magics the same?

[gusty abyss]

why can i not see my download percent for my unity version anymore???

nvm. sorry im REALLY dumb

[sacred sparrow]

ehm guys

in which assembly is this?

[vivid cedar]

are you seeing this error in the unity console or only in your IDE?

[sacred sparrow]

found it

it was in Unity.NetCode.Physics

i hate that they use the base package for a subpackage in another assembly

[gusty abyss]

the incremental player build is taking too long

[toxic tundra]

would anyone be able to hop in vc to show me why my camera isnt showing what i need it to show? im pretty new at this stuff

[sacred sparrow]

well, just explain here

[toxic tundra]

well, ill try. ig ill do this:

this is my inspector, hierarchy and scene, for some reason my camera isnt showing on the game mode

[sacred sparrow]

wdym showing the gamemode?

the UI you mean?

[toxic tundra]

like its not rendering anything

[sacred sparrow]

go on the game tab

[toxic tundra]

wait....

[gusty abyss]

is it normal for my building to take 2+ minutes and for my pc to freeze up

[sacred sparrow]

pc specs?

[gusty abyss]

NOTHING IT WORKED I FINALLY BUILT A APK WITHOUT IT FAILING

[sacred sparrow]

and yes, it's normal for it to take a long time

especially if your pc has bad specs

[toxic tundra]

i fixed it... i didnt realize if i had a canvas, then everything else had to be under that canvas too.

[sacred sparrow]

wdym

oh you put the logo and images ouside

[toxic tundra]

yeah

[sacred sparrow]

btw, are you doing that game just as a practice?

or do you want to release it later?

[toxic tundra]

lol no its just practice

[sacred sparrow]

oh ok, lol

else you would have encountered mr. copyright XD

[toxic tundra]

but now im wondering is it possible to show my scene through the camera window without runtime (idk if i said that correct)? like usually it is, so im wondering why its not showing

like this: why is not showing on the camera wiundow?

[sacred sparrow]

you cannot see the canvas via the cam view

only via the game view

[toxic tundra]

its not possible at all with canvas?

[sacred sparrow]

No

And i don't even know why you would want to

[toxic tundra]

its just nice for me to see what everything looks like visually without having to switch windows every time

[sacred sparrow]

Well, you already are

[toxic tundra]

but ig at this point in developement it doesnt matter, i was just wondering for a future project

[sacred sparrow]

In the scene view

[toxic tundra]

yeah

also do u know why i have to scale everything to the canvas window? or did i do something wrong?

[pearl oyster]

You can open the game tab next to the scene tab

[balmy kettle]

you should read the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how the canvas works. because your camera should not be large enough to encompass the screen space overlay canvas, because that just gets overlayed on the screen and is not rendered by the camera's view

[slim bramble]

Hey everyone!
Can someone help me? I'm having trouble with the enemy animator (Unity 6) in my 2D game. I've checked all the sprints, I've validated it to see if it's correct within the Blend Tree animator, it's reaching the animation, the blue bar appears in the animator box, I've checked the motions, I've checked the controller, but nothing... it doesn't work... what do I do? I've already made another clip for testing, please someone message me privately to help me? (I'm Brazilian)

[vivid cedar]

#🏃┃animation show the details of your problem

[toxic tundra]

i should and ill look at that, but ngl im unsure what you mean by this:

because your camera should not be large enough to encompass the screen space overlay canvas,

[balmy kettle]

i mean your camera is scaled up way too large. for the reason i stated in that same message you are only quoting part of

[worldly cave]

Are you scaling the camera to fit the entire canvas in the scene view?

[slim bramble]

Hello i send message in #🏃┃animation

[toxic tundra]

to reference, i was only really trying to show my canvas and those objects in the game view. im really unsure whats actually going on with my camera lol. but right now the game view is showing/doing what i need it show/do

this is why i need ot talk to real people more lol

but ig now i know that the canvas is an overlay and wont show the same things that the camera renders?

[balmy kettle]

the canvas, when set to screen space overlay, is entirely unrelated to the camera's view, yes.

the camera is meant to render world space objects, while the canvas is rendering UI objects in screen space

[lone maple]

How I add a city on my project

[balmy kettle]

didn't you already get an answer to that question

[lone maple]

No

[balmy kettle]

don't lie

#💻┃unity-talk message

[toxic tundra]

i was doing some research, if i set the canvas to render mode "screen space camera" and assign the camera to it then i should be able to look at the canvas through the camera, no? or im probably not understanding

[sacred sparrow]

but why tho

[balmy kettle]

why do you need to do that at all?

[sacred sparrow]

it is entirely useless to see it from the camera view

if you really want you can extract the game view and put it on a separate window

[toxic tundra]

im entirely just curious.

[stuck flower]

like, is the city a model or what

[sacred sparrow]

he already got his reply

i already said how

[lone maple]

Man I been having a hard time

[stuck flower]

(I know, I was literally copy pasting your answers from before)

(now shh you're ruining the bit)

[toxic tundra]

i mean i understand its not the best thing to do but im just wondering...

[toxic tundra]

anyways, im still wondering why is my camera not rendering?

[boreal dagger]

How can I optimise my game that uses urp for mobile? currently getting only 40fps

[vivid cedar]

Use the profiler on your target hardware

[boreal dagger]

How do I do this?

[vivid cedar]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/Profiler.html

[craggy pollen]

what kind of game is that , we need some infos

[stuck flower]

Is your camera pointed at anything that it can render?

[toxic tundra]

yes, (at least i think it is) i just made a new camera but im not sure why its not showing anything... it should at least show the green

[stuck flower]

Rotate your viewpoint, is the green actually in the camera's view?

[balmy kettle]

why is your camera Perspective rather than Orthographic for a 2d scene?

also the objects you want to see are very likely behind the camera considering the camera is at 700+ on the Z axis

[toxic tundra]

i just made a completely new camera, so i dont have an asnwer for that

[toxic tundra]

and yeah this was the answer... i didnt realize since im in a universal 2d project, that it would do that. thx

and that also answered my other question. thank you

is there a problem or u wanna set them up

[broken rover]

Guys is it good practice to use enum for player movement states (say, for a platformer)

[worldly cave]

Yes

[broken rover]

I'm getting mixed answers because other devs told me that bool flasg alone should be enough

[worldly cave]

Guess it depends on how complex your movement system is

If you just have jumping and walking then you probably dont need enums

[balmy kettle]

use whichever makes the most sense to you. don't worry so much about "good practice" unless it's something egregious like calling GameObject.Find frequently

[broken rover]

Sliding, jumping, walking, (planning to add wall movement later on), dashing and that's about it

[balmy kettle]

if you get hung up on good/best practice then you'll never finish anything because you'll always be searching for the best

[broken rover]

Also "locked movement" for certain attacks I plan to add later on

Basically where the character moves from the effect of the weapon attack and you can't control your character during it

Pretty complex I suppose

[worldly cave]

If youre already figuring to use enums you probably should

but also consider what boxfriend said because its pretty important

[broken rover]

Sounds good

[fierce dock]

Anyone know how to fix this? Me and my friend uses unity version control he ownes he games but the game won't pop up anymore for him. He goes in and everything is there but the game and stuff etc

[sacred sparrow]

just use github

[balmy kettle]

they need to be sure they are signed into the correct account in the unity hub. then they can use the "Add from repository" option in the "Add" dropdown to download the project

[fierce dock]

They have

It's the owner. I have the project and everything, it works

But all of a sudden everything for him dissapears

Like in the project nothing is there anymore for him

Guys how do you prevent spamming slide to maintain your velocity or is that an actual mechanic that devs keep

[vivid cedar]

This question is extremely vague and highly dependent on the details of your particular movement code.

It's also half a game design question. You should answer the game design question before worrying about the code question

[twilit plover]

hey can someone help with this texture issue? im a vrc avatar creator and when i tried importing my texter from ibspaint x into unity and for some reason the textures on my avatars arm has these weird pixelated spots... I tried changing the texture settings and yet nothing changed on the avatar’s mesh the actual texture within the project DID change, but when I put it inside of a material and place it on my avatar, those strange dots are still there. I originally used IBS paint next to import it, but when I saw the strange lines, I decided to re-import it from gimp still didn’t work…..

[twilit plover]

suree! one sec!

[twilit plover]

I'm already in this sever, no one helped me yet sadly...

[twilit plover]

heres the texture

[plain dagger]

Yea its probably poor uvs or skinning. Check in 3d software like blender if you can

you can also try reducing compression or change the texture to use a non compressed format

[twilit plover]

nvm i fixed it! i turned the compression quality to high and some how that worked lolz...

[crimson vigil]

does OnPointerEnter and exit not work on Androind?

I am creating an XR project using the google cardboard api, and using the events to trigger when the center dot goes over the object

it works fine in the editor but when i build and install in my phone, it only triggers when the object is on the far left of my screen

[plain dagger]

Android does not support "both" input systems but both work with event system pointer events

if you have it set to both you have to pick one

[crimson vigil]

wdym by both input system?

Are you using IPointerEnterHandler or a EventTrigger?

[remote shard]

hello. my tilemap randomly creates small gaps, which quickly go away. Any ideas on what to do here? I put the tilemap in a sprite atleast and have a little negative cell margin

[near wigeon]

its probably the camera

most likely you need something like Pixel Perfect

[remote shard]

i dont like the aliasing effect it creates

[polar basalt]

hey guys, i updated a model, but the small guy doesnt have model reference anymore, so it doesnt have the new object that you see that is selected, if i try copy it and give the correct root bone it is still positioned on the wrong object, what can i do?

im trying to just add the new game objects that i added from the new model, but the smaller one was unpacked

alright i just redid it manually..

[sly drum]

potentially insanely dumb question, but does anyone know why my projectiles dont delete when i hit a wall? idk if im allowed to send pics/if this is the right place to ask so

[near wigeon]

how you expect anyone to answer this..

[sly drum]

i didnt know if anyone would respond or tell me this is the wrong spot to ask so i didnt send any info on it yet

[near wigeon]

read the channels description , its not difficult

[sly drum]

no need to be an ass man, just a simple question

[worldly cave]

Do you have some kind of code implemented that would delete your projectile when it collides with a wall?

[sly drum]

im like brand brand new to this, so this is my projectile code

dont ask about it saying destroy twice, was just trying different things

[near wigeon]

yes putting destroy on start doesn't make sense

[sly drum]

thats actually the only thing i did that made the lifetime destroy it, when i had it anywhere else it would just go forever

which is the only reason its there

[near wigeon]

if projectile is a rigidbody it shouldn't be moved via transform it won't provide accurate collisions

[sly drum]

how should i move it? i also just couldnt get it to move earlier

[near wigeon]

rigidbody has its own methods like Velocity or Force

[scenic apex]

rigidbody.linearVelocity

[sly drum]

Rigidbody.linearVelocity = Vector2.zero; like this?

nvm

ignore that

lmfao

[near wigeon]

you should not be guessing things

lookup any example of how to move something via rigidbody, there are plenty of examples

[dusky forum]

Instead of destroying in Start: when you spawn the projectile object, have whoever spawned it destroy it after some time.cs var instance = Instantiate(...); Destroy(instance, duration);

[polar basalt]

isnt the whole point to destroy when it starts with a lifetime xd

im reading this and im confused why that is the problem

he calls destroy delayed on start with a lifetime var

[sly drum]

the problem im having is destroying it over time and if it his an object before the lifetime is over then it also destorys

[near wigeon]

if at some point one uses pooling or reuse the projectile suddenly lifetime is broken

[polar basalt]

just redesign it then

[dusky forum]

It's mainly about the explicitness relative to who should be in charge of the lifespan of the object.

[near wigeon]

its why you plan it better ahead of time so you don't have to do that.

[polar basalt]

i mean he is brand new so i dont think he will start off with pooling any time soon

[sly drum]

exactly, im just trying to figure out the basics right now

[polar basalt]

i mean based on the code it should work, its def something with the collision or smth, is this a 3d or 2d game?

[sly drum]

this confused me though, would this be on my player character or? talk to me like im 7 atp

[near wigeon]

nothing wrong with starting good habits early

[sly drum]

its a 2d game, all i have right now is a block moving around shootinf red balls

[polar basalt]

i mean yeah thats true too

[polar basalt]

projectile has rigidbody yes?

[near wigeon]

without seeing the rest of the setup the code alone can only shows its being moved with transforms and thats not good for collisions

[polar basalt]

and it has a collider

and the one it colides with, needs a colider

[sly drum]

it has both but im not sure if theyre configured correctly or anything

[near wigeon]

3D rigidbody + collider but using CollisionEnter2D 🤔

[polar basalt]

you are not using 2d colliders

you are using 3d

try search for 2d when you need anything colider related

browse the components list and see that there are different components for 2d games

[sly drum]

yeah im an idiot LOL

[dusky forum]

Going back to the original question: as suggested, you need to move the object using force or velocity. If you're absolutely wanting it to move with Transform-position (teleporting) you'll need to sync the transform with the physics simulation https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.SyncTransforms.html

[polar basalt]

no thats understandable

good luck

i would suggest he just changes linear velocity or does AddForce but idk if that works on 2d, never made 2d games

[polar basalt]

also

you need rigidbody2D

not rigidbody

[sly drum]

dw i saw that, so how do i make it move with linearvelocity? it says rb doesnt exist or smth

my discord just bugged out sorry for the delayed response

[scenic apex]

can you show us your code?

[sly drum]

this is what i have rn

speed isnt supposed to be there right? should i just delete it?

[balmy kettle]

where have you declared a variable called rb

[scenic apex]

you need to do something like: rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

[slow dirge]

You need to learn.

[near wigeon]

stop what you're doing, and do some basics

[sly drum]

exactly what im trying to do? whats the point of sending msgs like this lmao

[errant bane]

Can I ignore this or is this actually super important to update

[near wigeon]

you're throwing random putty at the wall hoping something sticks, that's not how you learn

[slow dirge]

No, it's not. You're writing random words in your ide without understanding them at all and hoping it would work.

you should update, also 6.2 is not a proper version anyway

[slow dirge]

You can ignore it of course, but I wouldn't recommend staying on 6.2 as it was a beta version.

[fast lily]

does anyone know why my sprites on my spritesheet obtain these semi-transparent and shades lines after importing? on the left is how my sprite sheet looks in windows image viewer, middle is the unity import, and right is my import settings.

[errant bane]

What's a higher version that still supports Relay, I really don't wanna change much of the Networking code I have

[slow dirge]

I swear, I'm not trying to copy nav😅

[near wigeon]

xD great minds think alike

[near wigeon]

relay has been supported since like 2022..

LTS are always the safe bet

[errant bane]

I swear when I updated last time it kept giving me errors, but I'll try again

Ty

[slow dirge]

Mabe some api changes, but you can probably fix it quickly.

[near wigeon]

I think relay has been moved/named to " Multiplayer Services package"

https://docs.unity.com/en-us/mps-sdk

The Multiplayer Services (MPS) SDK unifies Lobby, Matchmaker, and Relay under a single, cohesive API, replacing their individual SDKs.

[slow dirge]

On the left screenshot you don't see the transparent(alpha) values. They're likely smoothed out on the sprite borders. Might want to use gimp or photoshop.

[near wigeon]

you gotta turn on gizmos for gameview

[balmy kettle]

gizmos have been available to enable in the game view for years. you just need to actually enable them

[near wigeon]

the only place they don't work is builds

idk I use 6.0 and has been working fine

[balmy kettle]

ah yes, the ever descriptive "bugged"

[fast lily]

in gimp it looks clean (no transparency). hmmm

[near wigeon]

works for Metal and DX11 for me 🤷‍♂️

[slow dirge]

Try a single sprite mode.

[balmy kettle]

you've conveniently cropped out the proof that gizmos are actually enabled in game view

[fast lily]

that wasnt it--but you made me start clicking aroound more and i found the solution! the "max size" parameter needed to be increased. thanks xD

[balmy kettle]

what version are you actually using

[near wigeon]

you're way behind..

[balmy kettle]

any particular reason you're using a version from January if you just installed unity?

[near wigeon]

6.0 is king anyway

[balmy kettle]

well if it did, then it was probably one of the two patches after your version

but you also claimed there was a bug report for it, so presumably the issue tracker for said bug report will detail whether it has been fixed or not

[near wigeon]

can you send the issuetracker link

[balmy kettle]

seems like you should be submitting a new bug report if it has previously been fixed

although, have you tried not zooming your game view in to see if that makes any difference?

[near wigeon]

anything above 6.0 have been sketchy releases

[sacred sparrow]

6.3 works fine

[inner osprey]

Im making a VR game, and need some help. If anybody can assist me please dm me. Thank you.

[near wigeon]

ehh the first thing 6.3 had was broken signed package.. but whatevs, if works for you then ok

[near wigeon]

not how that works, make a post in #🥽┃virtual-reality with actual descriptive post on the issue, If someone knows and is willing to help they will

[sand radish]

Hey I’m a beginner 3D artist, wonder if anyone has info on where I could meet someone possibly another beginner that does coding to make a small prototype collaboration to increase both of our skills and experience?

[bleak quartz]

Hello, Im making a game for several months and I realized Im in built in render pipeline. Is it worth it to convert to URP? what will be the benefits and will it be annoying?

[summer minnow]

Worth it? - Depends on your project.
Benefits? - Probably some benefits. Performance / Enhanced graphical fidelity.
Will it be annoying? - Depends on your project (But probably not).

[bleak quartz]

It's a party game with minigames

[summer minnow]

2d without lights?

[bleak quartz]

its 3d with lights

example

I thought, urp was ultra realistic or something thats why I chose built in when I started to unity ...

[summer minnow]

I would make a backup and try upgrading. GL.

[copper gust]

(ideally via version control)

[bleak quartz]

It's better in long term right

I guess ill just do that, its better doing it right now than later

[copper gust]

Honestly doing it and not doing it are both valid ways to go

maybe push to version control and give yourself a day or so to upgrade

if it takes too long just revert and continue

[bleak quartz]

well you people call it "upgrade" so

yeah Im getting a backup now even I have ver control

[copper gust]

it is an upgrade forsure but also plenty of games released before urp was a thing

and as you can see your game certainly looks like a game

[bleak quartz]

will I need extra effort for URP than built in?

[copper gust]

potentially in the initial upgrade and obviously using the new features urp offers takes an amount of effort

the big thing is shaders need to be built for urp rather than built in

basic ones can be converted but custom ones need to be remade / find alternatives

[jolly hill]

yo guys i need help

when i build my game and i tried to send it to my friend it said file cannot be found and when i put it in gofile it says error

@void wing \

can someone help with this?

@copper gust I upgraded to urp, thank you

[summer minnow]

I'm curious, did you run into any problems while upgrading?

[safe garden]

There have been a few people who come in with grand ideas asking stuff like this and while the ambition is admirable, it's always better to start off with something achievable to learn the ropes, if you've never developed before. Instead of going for such a lofty goal I would strongly encourage you to just do a base starter level with very basic greybox assets and materials, shapes as simple as primitives and get them moving in the level to achieve a particular goal, for example. Doing a fleshed out 2d game when you're new is a huge undertaking and can quickly burnout

[hollow thorn]

hey guys i need help in my 2d game

when play and go downwards my blocks go down aswell i put the static if anyone can help pls do

My bad sorry man

[stoic lake]

does having a lot of empty game objects with 1-3 components each have any performance effect?

or is it free

[copper gust]

how much is a lot

[stoic lake]

10000

not really that much

is it just memory usage atp

[copper gust]

its not free but not potentially a major issue either.

stuff takes performance when it does things, in the context of objects just existing the two big things that pop up are

-using functions like findobjectoftype and findobjectoftag etc. since these scale with objects to look at
-if any of these objects are involved in any notably involved parent relationships, moving them does have a performance cost when re-calculating all those children movements that can scale up

outside of those two things it just comes down to what those components are doing afaik

[stoic lake]

alr ty

[copper gust]

also i think in some scenarios it can take some amount of toll on some editor stuff?

i can't think of specifics but im sure you can probably imagine how that could matter in ways

[stoic lake]

yeah it can lag the editor with how much text is rendered

same with if you Debug.Log enough times

at least i think thats it but i know it can lag

[rose flicker]

Guys how do I make each loop of a For loop wait 1 second before starting the next?

[vapid dagger]

anyone using Codex ?

created a super powerful skill for game creation along with some documentation

specifically geared towards 2D games

[copper gust]

nope

[rose flicker]

What does powerful skill mean?

Like magic?

[copper gust]

ai garbo

[rose flicker]

So its ai coding?

[vapid dagger]

how is Ai garbage ? lol

Ai hate is hive mind mentality

grow up and think for yourself lol

[rose flicker]

Bro AI tried to destroy a human person

It deserves hate

[copper gust]

i am thats why im not using codex 😄

[slow dirge]

Whatever your opinion is, you shouldn't try pushing it in an established community.

[rose flicker]

And + the performance of it in coding is garbage

[vapid dagger]

Unity itself is promoting the use of AI

[stoic lake]

the irony of saying to someone that thinking for yourself is hivemind mentality 😭

[rose flicker]

I tried once AI for coding in Lua(the easiest coding system) and it failed

[slow dirge]

Yeah, didn't you see Terminator?

[rose flicker]

It is promoting it, not forcing it through our mouths

tho that sounds a bit weird

[copper gust]

Most people here are not happy with that 😛

[balmy palm]

I don't need to think for myself when i have ai. ☝️ 😄

[rose flicker]

Did AI make you post this?

[vapid dagger]

i havent forced anything i was meet with immediate slander from a bunch of bees lol

becasue i asked a question

[stoic lake]

blink twice if the AI is threatening you

[copper gust]

i answered with no

[rose flicker]

We answered it bruh

[copper gust]

and dunked on ai answering the other persons question

🙂

[rose flicker]

No one here uses codex I think

[vapid dagger]

i see , its an awsome tool thats being utilized by companies creating amazing games

[copper gust]

What companies and what games?

[rose flicker]

Give us an example bruh

[stoic lake]

why dont you go and do that and we'll see how it ends up

[rose flicker]

DONT SEARCH ON GOOGLE
