Hello anytime myself or one of my team members tries to open a prefab in unity in crashes, I'm assuming its a memory leak but Im not sure what the cause is.

[tidal raft]

does anyone know why my project wont create

[craggy pollen]

you must be kidding

[craggy pollen]

what do you mean with open a prefab

[plain dagger]

is this at school? go ask your teacher?

[craggy pollen]

must be a very rich school then with that setup

[tidal raft]

im at a science center right now, and im trying to teach some kids how to make a game on unity here

none of the adult supervisors know unity unfortunately

[plain dagger]

Oh ha, does the computer have restrictions?
Could be that it did not have permission to write anything

[tidal raft]

what do u mean by writing anything

is there a way to check?

[solemn torrent]

like open a prefab to modify the object

[lusty turret]

hey guys i really need help , i updated my project to unity 6 and now all my materials are pink , i tried everything , most tutorials are not updated to unity 6 , the render pipeline converter wont work , i cant fix all of them one by one because they are too many, im using URP , can anyone help ?

[worldly cave]

What version was your project originally? Are you positive the project was URP to begin with?

[lusty turret]

no the project was not URP from the beggining , i was using 3.19

[plain dagger]

either you used an old ass unity version or are mistaken

2023 was the version before unity 6

[lusty turret]

i was using 2022

[plain dagger]

As in unity trying to make files on disk for the project. You can try checking the unity hub logs ⬇️

[plain dagger]

You can either stick to BIRP, try the urp material upgrader again or do it all manually

but you are not forced to use URP in unity 6

[worldly cave]

Birp still exists

and if your project originally used it, you could stick with it

[lusty turret]

are there any benefits to using URP , like it just makes the game better looking or it helps performance ? sorry im a noob

[plain dagger]

URP is better as the old built in renderer is outdated and has not been updated in years

but shaders made for BIRP do not function elsewhere

[lusty turret]

alright but what do i do to make my materials not pink anymore ?

[plain dagger]

Change shaders to URP ones

materials using "Standard" can be auto updated

anything else has to be done by hand

[marble crescent]

hey anyone knows how to add models from blender to unity with textures while using blenderkit materials ?

[worldly cave]

You would need to pack/save the blenderkit material textures and set up the materials in unity

also note that a lot of blender kit materials utilize custom node set ups and are far more than just simple pbr materials

so for those youre either going to have to recreate them in the shadergraph, or bake them in blender to textures and export that

[marble crescent]

yeah i need help in baking i am thinking to baking it

because i have more 2 3 materials in one model

[worldly cave]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGl9GczcgBvJPh7D_ITafvmTW7ZzQTEr&si=cuACWrHi4AZlTWYy

[marble crescent]

my assets are not really that much detailed i have submission by tommorow so like need a really quick help as i am making a multisensory project

[worldly cave]

Then the very first video should be enough

if your assets are not very detailed

[marble crescent]

ohh okie

[lusty turret]

how do i fix my materials they are all pink

[storm patio]

probably a mismatch between your render pipeline and the intended pipeline for the materials

there's a button to convert them somewhere iirc

[lusty turret]

it wont work

[glacial wagon]

Hey! i'm super new to Unity and i was wondering if i can download a tutorial/template of the most basic ''rpg/hacknslash'' game that exist to get familiar with the program

[worldly cave]

Rob explained it to you

[storm patio]

that would likely be much too advanced to use as onboarding for the engine
it'll get overwhelming
try unity learn instead, build up from smaller chunks, give yourself some time to digest

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[worldly cave]

Not really a thing im afraid, people dont make "templates" for Unity, and when they do they are typically not worth it and overpriced on the asset store

[lapis gate]

On the asset store unity does provide some basic templates but mostly controller related

[wind plank]

source 2 vs unity 6

[worldly cave]

what

you cant really pick between Source 2 and Unity 6 because Source 2 isnt publicly available

[wind plank]

shut up penis

[storm patio]

how old are you

[worldly cave]

Why am i being called a penis

[plain dagger]

sounds like you came here just to say that

[worldly cave]

what did i do

[weary portal]

its all yo fault

[inland umbra]

Definitely source 2

[marble fiber]

They should really release source 2 already, they announced that it will be released for the public a decade ago

[worldly cave]

When did they announce this?

Are you thinking of s&box?

[plain dagger]

Source 2 is not the answer because the only decent version is s&box which has a fuck ton of modifications

[worldly cave]

Or are you thinking of the game specific SDKs for Source 2 games

which is something else entirely

[plain dagger]

that would require more than 2s of thought

[worldly cave]

Its crazy how facepunch are the only ones to ever get a s2 license

Even Respawn didnt get one

[marble fiber]

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_2

[worldly cave]

and they practically turnd Source inside and out for Apex and Titan Fall 2

[plain dagger]

S2 is not really finished and facepunch had to do a lot to make it usable

[plain dagger]

oh wow who knew valve had a wiki page about their own engine!!

[worldly cave]

Yeah, and turns out making it usable is as simple as making it more Unity

[marble fiber]

https://store.steampowered.com/oldnews/16000

[plain dagger]

you can stop now

[marble fiber]

It links to the announcement lol

[worldly cave]

Ok, where in the announcement does it say Source 2 is going to be made public?

[plain dagger]

it was years ago and looky fuck all happened

[worldly cave]

"free to content developers." means whoever gets a license wont have to pay for it

not that its going to be given to everyone

currently only fp have that priviledge

[worldly cave]

What does this screenshot prove?

[plain dagger]

gib engine now as proof

[marble fiber]

This segment, so probably will still release eventually

[worldly cave]

Source 2 is released. Just not for public use

Source 2 has been used since 2013

[plain dagger]

I have touched source and source 2 a lot and i still prefer unity

[worldly cave]

People hype up Source and Source 2 simply for the Vanity and what it represents

If anything the Source engine proves that you can make 10/10 masterpieces with litterally whatever, many times over, over the course of a few years

[plain dagger]

Source was good but now its dated and lacks the polish, documentation and functionality needed for a general game engine

[worldly cave]

Source 1 doesnt even support PBR natively

thats crazy to me

[plain dagger]

well the csgo branch got that i think

[worldly cave]

Yeah it got it

I know this from making models for map creators

[plain dagger]

There are much better versions for those with access and I have been told of the many great things

[worldly cave]

but for stuff like tf2, sfm, or any half life conversion mod, no pbr...

[sly lake]

S&Box has some neat ideas, like using C# razor pages for the UI

[worldly cave]

its actually so good and was my favourite part of it when i used it for the game jam

[plain dagger]

Yea the ui is cool and ofc the hot reload is amazing

[worldly cave]

I think that was born out of pure hatred for how Unity did it

[plain dagger]

haha well we got UITK now so its not as bad

[worldly cave]

im fine with UITK, it was quite the learning curve imo, but i would still prefer Razor

[sly lake]

Probably just easiest to implement, since Razor compiles down to C#

[worldly cave]

UITK has some limits in the markup department

[worldly cave]

I was thinking about the hotreload

[sly lake]

Oh

That’s just free with CoreCLR

[worldly cave]

i think they said that it took them like 10 minutes at a time for the scripts to recompile for stuff like rust

[sly lake]

Every .net application has that

[worldly cave]

or something ridicilous really

[plain dagger]

good lord ive worked with big projects and ive not had that
perhaps they did not use asm defs properly?

Tbh i remember old rust not being set to run when minimised so fuck knows what they used to do

[worldly cave]

Rust is kind of a mess i think on a technical level

they talked about it somewhere

[plain dagger]

If things are not designed well from the start then adding asm defs after is a pain or near impossible

[sly lake]

I don’t think those were a thing when Rust first launched

[plain dagger]

Seems it was added in 2017.3? maybe

[worldly cave]

I think it was the transition from legacy to modern rust

[sly lake]

Yeah, Rust was Unity 4 initially

Quite an old codebase then

[plain dagger]

Right so it was shit to begin with

not that i did anything great back then 😆

[craggy swan]

Do you guys think I should make a design bibl, character sketches, and a storyboard even for my very first game. It a simple game keep in mind.

[sly lake]

Depends. Do you think that would be fun?

[worldly cave]

https://garry.net/posts/unity-2020 It wasnt the exact blogpost i was thinking off

but you can really tell this was when he decided to revive S&box and switch to Source 2

[craggy swan]

Maybe. I kinda just wanna get started tho

[worldly cave]

Then start!

Dont overthink this early on, if its a simple game, start with a prototype

see that its fun first before you decide to dedicate time on concepts and character bibles

[craggy swan]

Ahh thats true

I can always add stuff after the fact

[sly lake]

I’ve never made a “design bible” in my entire career

[worldly cave]

It depends on how well thought out your project is

its really just a different way of saying design document i suppose

But it doesnt really work for indie games, they are quite volatile idea wise and change constantly

[craggy swan]

yeah

[sly lake]

I still write down things but not before starting development

[worldly cave]

same here

i use Trello to manage things i plan to do

[wind plank]

source 2 vs ue 5

[worldly cave]

Once again...

[craggy swan]

I mainly just think about things I want to do in the game then try to add them

[worldly cave]

Source 2 is not publically available

so its not much of a discussion

[wind plank]

shut UP penis

[worldly cave]

Can you not be a child please

enough of them in this server already

[craggy swan]

bro what

[wind plank]

mb

[craggy swan]

this is for unity discussions

[sly lake]

Same here. But I also write about bigger features in a wiki before implementing them

Think things through a bit

Never update them later though

[worldly cave]

Honestly ive been meaning to set up a dedicated html/css page for my games own Documentation and API

[craggy swan]

Thats a good idea

I would make one of those

[worldly cave]

Because in the last month ive sort of snowballed development so much theres a shit ton of things to track

[craggy swan]

but I need more games that are actually playable lol

[worldly cave]

Even simplest changes could have cascading results so i have to basically walk on eggshells with every change i make

[craggy swan]

Also is it better to have placeholder sprites for a game or do the art begore you develop the gameplay? Im only asking because it would take longer to do the art because im kinda bad at art...

[worldly cave]

My friend i think youre focusing on the wrong things here

this early on, you should just start

make something anything, however its built, get something playable

then start thinking about the boring stuff

[craggy swan]

oh

ok

[craggy swan]

Im just trying to be efficient and not take a long time on a 2d platformer

[worldly cave]

The Irony is that youre not being very efficient now

[craggy swan]

yeah

[worldly cave]

because youre not doing the most important thing... starting

[craggy swan]

thats true

I should just try something

and as i go forward plan more

Thanks

Thank you lots

I feel like its really hard to get unity help other places because people dont know what they are doing

but here I feel like I can actually get help

[marble crescent]

anyone knows an free addon who would able to add simple textured object and animation to unity directly by importing and exporting through that addon ? from blender to unity

[worldly cave]

People dont typically create addons for something that can be done natively in both programs

Youre better off actually learning the blender to unity workflow, rather than looking for shortcuts

[left coyote]

anyone know why my IK bugs like that?

[warm bramble]

i have a very VERY weird thing happening to unity
when i run a game it's a little choppy but when i record with nvidia it becomes butter smooth ?!

i'm going insane tbh, i wanted to record the choppiness but once i hit record everything goes good

[shadow heron]

Did you try restarting your pc?

[warm bramble]

yup

[worldly cave]

are you perhaps fullscreening your game view when recording ?

[warm bramble]

you mean focused and maximized ?

[worldly cave]

sure

[bronze shale]

Hello!

[warm bramble]

both of them have same results

[hard relic]

I need help, I was making a map using the tileset, and when I added the wood sprite as a tile, this showed up and I can't even select it.

[balmy kettle]

restart the editor

[crystal jolt]

I'm not super sure what to call this and struggling to find an answer online via google, but does anyone know what is going on here with these objects? All of a sudden this weekend the camera started clipping into them from a far distance making it really difficult to work on some things. And what's this even called

[balmy kettle]

double click an object in the hierarchy (or select an object and press F) to make the scene view camera focus on it and readjust its clipping planes

[near wigeon]

And what's this even called
https://unity.huh.how/scene-view/clipping-planes.html

[oak meadow]

using Ugs Cloud save do you have to read a stat to write to it and add to it like could you write +1 to wins without reading wins first

[near wigeon]

no as long as you have the key you don't have to keep reading the value

[oak meadow]

so if i have a cosmetic wins stat i wouldn't have to read it at all?

[near wigeon]

nope

if a key exists it overwrites, otherwise it just creates a new one

#1180170818983051344 For feedback

[stoic heart]

yes

I am learning scale and proportion for Game.

[lethal plume]

Any idea why my material is not reflecting surrounding stuff? I am using Bakery for light baking, I have reflection probes and light probes. The material preview shows a reflection of my skybox but it doesnt in reality https://i.imgur.com/3uvA1hT.png

[worldly cave]

How does it look like in the scene?

[lethal plume]

https://i.imgur.com/HfznyBW.png pure black

[worldly cave]

Really its only going to show what the reflection probe does

[worldly cave]

In game view?

Also it needs something to reflect as well

You cant have an entire room of the same dark material and expect it to reflect itself

[lethal plume]

https://i.imgur.com/qH4iyRP.png

there are floors, a couch...

plenty of other things

game view looks the same

I am using AutoProbe for my light probes.

[worldly cave]

Light probes are irrelevant

[lethal plume]

I thought light probes were required for reflections?

[worldly cave]

You should also ideally be using the apv anyways

[worldly cave]

Reflection probes

[lethal plume]

APV?

[worldly cave]

You need reflection probes

[worldly cave]

Adaptive probe volume

[lethal plume]

reflection probe

[worldly cave]

Did you bake them?

[lethal plume]

yes

[worldly cave]

You sure? Typically in the scene view when you get close to them, they litterally show you their cubemap

[lethal plume]

I am extremely confused now because I am suddenly getting this error when trying to bake my light probes, literally RIGHT AFTER doing a full render
https://i.imgur.com/6LyizuT.png

Ok so if I disable "contribute to GI" for all my meshes it fixes that error at least.

[fast lily]

what ~the best~ way to do 2D sprite outlines? i feel like i look online and everyone has a slightly different solution, and theres no default built in unity function for what id consider one of the most common effects for sprites??? ive tried a couple and they dont seem to work "perfect" in every case

i feel like im going crazy. how is this not just a super standardarized technique 😭

[strange prism]

hi

[storm patio]

there's just generally not a "best" way to do any given task. there's multiple solutions each with different behaviors and caveats

[celest sparrow]

u mean outline?

outline or just shape with black color, if u mean the second one, i think u can just drag it as a sprite object then set it to black, did i missunderstand the question?

[fast lily]

just outline around the sprite

[night leaf]

hi

who knows the most popular games in unity where i can shoot and i can modding

im searching game to mod

just without tarkov

like him

[copper gust]

no modding here

[night leaf]

where

[copper gust]

dunno

[night leaf]

what

[copper gust]

i dont know where you should go, i know this is where you cant go

[night leaf]

just its official unity channel and only here i can ask the quwstions about unity

its about unity explorer

who know which games allow him

[copper gust]

modding is against unity tos and is specifically banned in the server rules

im sorry

[night leaf]

ooh sorry

i didnt know

[celest sparrow]

outline has a lot of way to do it

right now, i just use a plugin to make it, cuz its ez and has a lot of features

u can also find a plugin to do it

or a more ez way: just copy sprite 4 times and move a little to 4 directions lol

the normal way is shade graph

the plugin i use, it used shade graphs

but just let u know, people use unity around me also just use plugin to make it, not do it by themself

[fast lily]

ok thank u ill look for one

[floral flame]

Is there anyone who can help me with this part? I've been stuck on it for two days, and every time I try to apply the lesson, I find that the commands don't work in the same way.

[celest sparrow]

wuts this

make a rigidbody object and play its physics effect in unity scene?

[floral flame]

yes

Would you allow me to share the screen with you to help me get through this part?

[celest sparrow]

which part ur confused right now? u dont know how to use rigidbody component or wut?

this server doesnt support vc and screen share btw

[floral flame]

These parts don't work for me

[violet thunder]

Are you sure it doesn't need a convex MeshCollider with a cylinder mesh instead?

[celest sparrow]

oh u want a correct shape collider for it

[floral flame]

I tried to do it, but no effect appears.

[celest sparrow]

maybe take a vid to show why it doesnt work?

[floral flame]

Can I share my screen with you so you can see what's happening with me?

[violet thunder]

Video works fine

[celest sparrow]

there is no screen share in this server lol

[violet thunder]

@floral flame no friend requests/DMs. Just ask here, why make it so complicated?

[celest sparrow]

i mean i agree with @violet thunder , he already said how to fix it, just use MeshCollider, it might fix ur problem

[floral flame]

Okay, what should I do here to make it work for me?

[violet thunder]

Remove CapsuleCollider

Any issue after that?

[still vortex]

Anyone knows how to activate the ugc kit?

[floral flame]

Look, the green lines haven't changed.

[storm patio]

you didn't remove it

[still vortex]

Does anyone know how to activate the UGC kit?

[floral flame]

Is this how it should be?

[storm patio]

seems about right

[violet thunder]

Yeah mesh collider does not show green lines if it uses the same mesh as MeshFilter

So that is ok

[placid parrot]

Everyone

[violet thunder]

Great message. Keep it up

[still vortex]

Shows error its not ugc created

[storm patio]

what error

there's only a warning there

and a normal log

[storm patio]

that is a log

[still vortex]

But I want to know how to fix this

I want to export this UGC file

and I cant

[violet thunder]

(Really sounds like it should be an error or warning though)

[storm patio]

check the console to actually see more details if it has any

[still vortex]

There is in the console

[storm patio]

there ya go

[still vortex]

how I can activate

[storm patio]

probably opened unity with the wrong perms or something, idk windows perms sorry

could probably google that though

[still vortex]

So I have to check the permissions of unity or something like that

[celest sparrow]

wuts this version

looks like oooold version lmao

[still vortex]

unity 2018 its the only way to create a ugc file to emuvr

if u can help me

with emuvr ugc creation

[celest sparrow]

sry never heard EmuVR

[still vortex]

ok

dont worry

[tall hearth]

if you still cant get this to work have you tried saving the file to the Resources folder on the unity project? should be able to save there without authorization (though this is just an assumption)

[dreamy ledge]

so what version am i supposed to choose for a new project? just looking for the latest lts

[pearl oyster]

You have to install it first before you can choose it for a project

[dreamy ledge]

ah just found 6.3 lts, is that the one?

[pearl oyster]

If you want to use 6.3

[dreamy ledge]

what did you meant im supposed to install then?

[pearl oyster]

Well what do you want to use? If you want an LTS then your options are either 6.0 or 6.3

[grave wedge]

Guys so I'm new on unity

Like I didn't even download it yet but I might get it soon

I wanted to know tho

How does unity really work like is it a platform where you both make and release apps or do you just make and release somewhere else

And also what specs do you usually need or are recommended

[copper gust]

release somewhere else

[celest sparrow]

Unity is an editor software that allows you to open it, create something, and export it as an exe file using the export function. You can then publish it on other gaming platforms such as Steam

[celest sparrow]

Unity6, Unity2022, and Unity2023 are all good recommendations. Please note that some older plugins or projects may not support Unity6, so it basically depends on whether you want to use older feature plugins or projects or other older things

[sacred sparrow]

6.3 too if you want the newer LTS

[near wigeon]

no such thing as unity Unity2023 .

[near wigeon]

you can still use those versions just fine, its the Binary of exported game that needs to be patched. (they released a patcher)

[celest sparrow]

yeah i mean 2021 and 2022

[dreamy ledge]

i should already have 6.0 lts installed and from what i found i should search for a specific patch to fix the security issues. i took that as motivation to finally swap over to godot lol

im gonna try my next project in there

[pearl oyster]

Why would you need to search anything? The latest patches are literally the first thing it suggests when you click the install editor button

[dreamy ledge]

no it didnt? it just suggested some forums were people were talking about the same issues

[pearl oyster]

When you clicked the "Install Editor" button it suggested forums?

[dreamy ledge]

but i think its fine, i didnt interact much with the built in features of unity at all and just made everything procedurally from scripts anyway and just got c# working on godot and am gonna try my next project there this time

[celest sparrow]

i didnt actually get the point u want us to help u lol, just install wutever the version u want

[floral flame]

thank u guys I did it

[gusty abyss]

Hi I have watched dozens of tutorials but I can't understand diff btwn hdrp and urp help 😭

[celest sparrow]

For beginners, it is only necessary to know that URP can be used to be compatible with both mobile and computer devices, with good performance and medium image quality. HDRP is only used on the computer side, with moderate performance and good image quality

[gusty abyss]

Okay finally someone who talks like a human thanks

[celest sparrow]

nice

[deft rock]

Just install the latest version of 6.0 .. which is around 6.0.68

You don't patch or update the editor, each version is a separate install.
The patch you've seen people talking about is for the build of a game from the effected versions. Install 6.0.68 and you won't have to ever bother with that patch.

[manic gorge]

hello, I'm trying to download the built in unity shaders, but almost every posts I found leads to "https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive", but I can't find any obvious download to any shader in there

Also guys I have a question. I was just seeing here some courses in Unity Learn just was wondering something more intermediate to watch or to learn something new maybe and I came into UmodelerX and UI Toolkit. What are these tools?

UModelerX is like pro builder

#🥽┃virtual-reality

[lament cedar]

Hey guys. So I am using Unity 6.3 LTS and trying to make a 3D VTuber setup with a puppet to control. i got most setup but i need to know if there are any Dynamic Bone style setups that is possibly made. I couldnt find anything that says made in Unity 6.

[worldly cave]

https://learn.unity.com/course/dynamic-bone-related-tutorials
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/dynamic-bone-16743?srsltid=AfmBOoquNtetX57fKZnRZtfiTHj8uEpTwTqLyxCGhoKt1OM7CMpaz6CB

[lament cedar]

ah so its still being used in 6? thought it only worked in older versions..

[worldly cave]

Why wouldnt it? It works perfectly fine

[lament cedar]

i was told by a dev i used to work for that it didnt.. unless he had an issue that he never brought up

thanks Kuzmo

[worldly cave]

theres also magica cloth

[lament cedar]

I looked that up, looks more fitting for clothes. the system i want is the puppet has long arms and i need them to be like noodle type

[latent meadow]

if they are always noodle, it will work fine. if you intend to switch between animation control, and noodle physics, perhaps other options

[lament cedar]

Well the idea is that maybe i want to use constraints for when it holds something

[latent meadow]

best to start talking to #🏃┃animation

[lament cedar]

copy that

but i got a start so ill go there if i need anything

[fossil smelt]

I've experienced quite a bit of troubles lately using Unity 6, whenever I go into playmode my Unity Editor crashes, and same thing happens whenever I try animating an object using the animator in Unity.

Does anyone think they might know the reason behind this bug?

[worldly cave]

Do you see any errors?

[fossil smelt]

Nope

not at all.

[worldly cave]

Try updating the editor

[fossil smelt]

I've tried that, I also tried a different version of Unity 6, but I still experience the same error.

[worldly cave]

What are your pc specs?

Specifically your ram

[worldly cave]

Does this happen on other projects?

[fossil smelt]

It happens on other projects, but not versions that are not Unity 6.

[jagged sage]

Is developing dependant on cpu or gpu

[vivid cedar]

depends, can be both or neither.

generally developing a game requires a computer that can run the game you're developing and then some.

if you're making a very lightweight mobile game then you don't need much

[jagged sage]

Well im going for a 2d platformer

Still not sure how big it will be th

Tho

[vivid cedar]

unless you do something really crazy CPU will most likely be your main concern

[sharp wolf]

So I’m trying to download 2021.3.33.62f3 but every time I do it downloads some and then all of it says queue and I don’t know how to fix it

[balmy kettle]

if something is queued that means it is waiting to download/install until whatever is currently downloading/installing is done

!install 👇 but if you are certain something is going wrong then follow the checklist below

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[boreal river]

I wont do it because I am working right now on two projects and I dont want to cause any errors

[worldly cave]

that is why vc exists

[boreal river]

doesn't matter if I have version

I have verison control yhes and I am using it on all of my projects

but still I am scared of doing such changes

especiallyh when working on a specific version of Unity

[worldly cave]

version control is there to let you make drastic changes like that...

thats the point

[boreal river]

but I trhink as long as its minor update it wont hurt right

if its major update then probably it will

[worldly cave]

if you have version control

it wont hurt

at all

[boreal river]

I know bro

[worldly cave]

because that is the point

[boreal river]

it wont

I just dont wont to risk anything

lets say I am changing the version

what if something wrong will happen later on in development

[worldly cave]

what if

[boreal river]

btw is there something wrong that can happen?

[worldly cave]

what if your pc catches on fire, or github servers explode

[boreal river]

XD

Ok do you think I have to change my version right now 1--%?

100%

i have unity 6 51.f1

Which one do you think I have to use?

[balmy kettle]

just get the latest patch for the version you are currently using. if you're on 6.0.51 then use 6.0.68

[boreal river]

how

[balmy kettle]

wdym how? download that version and open your project with it

[sharp wolf]

Btw I tried and it still is stuck it’s been stuck on queue since yesterday

[balmy kettle]

okay so have you gone through the checklist that was provided

[sharp wolf]

Yes

can someone help me with something?

its about animation

[worldly cave]

the bot message tells you what to do and where to go

[weary portal]

Once in a while i ask ai to scan the codebase for specific stuff like race conditions or runtime nre crashes. Mostly in case it finds smth i overlooked and ofc it does and panics me for when i go into production. Ive noticed though that these models are strict into theory and dont always align with practical scenarios. Also if i apply the recommended patches the code becomes much bigger and harder to manage

[worldly cave]

Is there a question in all of this 🧐

If question is "should you use AI for this", the answer is no

[weary portal]

Use ai for what?

[worldly cave]

To do something you should be learning and "practicing" doing on your own

Self evaluating your own code

[weary portal]

Yea the current path is manual testing

[worldly cave]

Im confused as to what you were asking then

[plain dagger]

asking an ai to "fix all bugs" is not something id do

and there are many ways to fix a potential null ref exception and i would not trust it to do it well

[weary portal]

The question is more like how much what ai considers a bug aligns with what will happen in reality

But its too vague so nevermind

[worldly cave]

and its not really a unity question

tbh

[weary portal]

Its a talk channel about code that will run in unity chill

[balmy palm]

He is chill. I don’t see a problem.

because its not a talk channel or a channel about code

Can someone help me make a gtag fan game I'm new to unity I have no clue to what I'm doing

[deft rock]

The server isn't for this sort of thing. You can get help when stuck on smaller specific tasks.

To start off you need to learn unity, and you should start here 👇

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[tall hearth]

we should make a bot that just increments every time gtag is brought up by someone new

[worldly cave]

Im also surprised people even tolerate helping anyone with gtag fan games when 90% of them come from a decompiled version of the original game

which would be against the tos and server rules

[tall hearth]

i thought the gtag movement was made public by the devs :?

[worldly cave]

the movement scripts are yes, but a surprising amount of people here are straight up using the decompiled project itself

[tall hearth]

curious why people would even want that, had a online "buddy" (met him in a game server) that had been making a gtag game and man was the code horrendous to understand though i am not sure if this is cause of the way i learnt coding or cause of the way the devs had learnt it

[worldly cave]

Because a lot of these people are children, who play some of these gtag clones or see them get successful, and its a thing they like and they want to be a part of it

They think its simple or easy because a youtube video shows how to open the decompiled project

[tall hearth]

you know what fair point

hadnt thought that far (have never played / looked at anything gtag related besides the code those few times)

Hello everyone, I'm new here I need a little help. I'm doing my final year project in Interior design using augmented reality and the thing that is left right now is the wall paint, I did wall paint using a plane but it doesn't look natural, so anyone can help me with it please, which approach will be better to do wall paint in augmented reality and I'm making for Android. Kindly help me anyone.
Thank you.

[vivid cedar]

Sounds like just a matter of materials and lighting

[past atlas]

I have a Pong like game for mobile. Rn I have the problem that I positioned the paddles while working in a 18:9 ratio screen. But now when switching to a ratio of 16:9 for example, the paddles have to get closer in order to not overlap with the controls. I am currently debating if to compensate that, I should make the ball proportionally slower or the paddles proportionally faster based on the new distance.

What do you guys think? I know it's a very general question, but I want opinions in a vacuum

[swift granite]

I’m making a game inspired by metro exodus but rn the textures are all mobile esc. I purchesed this asset from fab and am not experienced in game design.

[noble nimbus]

How can it done only by material like rn how I place furniture etc in real environment using augmented reality exactly the same way I want to do wall paint on real walls through augmented reality

[latent meadow]

do you want the player to paint the whole wall with a tap, or to 'draw' paint on the wall?

[noble nimbus]

Yeah I want the user to paint the wall with a tap.

[latent meadow]

then just change the material color, or whole material when they tap it,,

[worldly cave]

What do you need help with in particular?

[noble nimbus]

But how can you place a material using augmented reality that's the issue, right now my app is only working for furniture placement, you know I used ar foundation so first we have to detect the surface which it do at default but I don't know now after I I detect the surface like vertically for the wall how can I place material there.

[copper gust]

do you have experience in programming in unity

[latent meadow]

i don't know what might be fundamentally different about AR/VR, but if i wanted a player to click on a wall to paint it, i would probably just have a trigger collider which triggers whatever command in a script to change that walls material color, as one way

i am thinking that you are kind of using assets and other peoples scripts instead of learning from the groud up. perhaps check out the learning site

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[pine bane]

can someone give me a game idea for a very new beginner to unity

[latent meadow]

if you understand how to change materials, if you had detection working, it is probably best to talk to #🥽┃virtual-reality . if you are unsure how to change materials even if you Could have the detection working, it is best to use the learning site above @ Saad

[noble nimbus]

So will it work, you're telling me this that it will work for ar right. Cuz simply wall paint for a game is easy there you can easily use a script to change the color of the wall but through camera using ar and see the changes appears on real wall inside your app

[noble nimbus]

Alr

Thanks

[latent meadow]

to the best of my general understanding, you can change a material/color during runtime in a VR game.

[noble nimbus]

But it is vr where you have 3d models and you can change there color my work is different the changes I'll do will appear on real wall like a wall in my room but can only be seen through the camera

[copper gust]

you will need someone very comfortable with programming in c# to solve what yo uwant to do

maybe shaders too depending

[noble nimbus]

Right

[latent meadow]

Oh, that is called AR, Augmented Reality. it is similar but different from VR. you might be best off purchasing an asset from the asset store to do that. otherwise, ask in the #🤯┃augmented-reality reality room, perhaps

[noble nimbus]

Yeah I asked there too now I'm waiting for someone to reply

[latent meadow]

ok, be careful not to cross post. good luck

[noble nimbus]

Okay,Thanks

Guys Im planning on installing unity soon and wanted to know would my 16GB RAM and my integrated graphics card laptop be able to run unity efficiently

A question rq, it's been a while since I last used Unity. Why I can see the camera in the Editor? For me it's a invisible object in the Editor so I don't know where it's pointing at

Same with the light and etc

I can't see they shapes in the Editor

[copper gust]

Check if gizmos are enabled

Top right of the scene view

[versed phoenix]

Thanks

[latent meadow]

nearly impossible to answer. you can make pong, sure, but probably not ESO.
find a game like you want to make and check the system specs. add about 33%, if your computer meets or exceeds those, you should be ok, assuming your onboard video meets Unity min specs to begin with

[boreal dagger]

Whats going on? it looks good in baked lightmap shader mode but shaded looks unlit

theres no shadows either

but shadows show up in shadowmask shader mode

I have no idea why its doing this

other scenes bake just fine

[mental cobalt]

Who wants to hear about the project I plan on making?

Hi there,
I'm making a new game in Unity 6 after previously using older versions of Unity. I'm trying to do some basic stuff and want to use a standard FPS controller to test an environment. However, I can't find the old Standard Assets with the player contoller prfab from previous versions of Unity and the Standard Asset Package in the Package Manager seems to be old and fully depreciated. Where do I find the new Standard Asset prefabs for Unity 6?

[vivid cedar]

It makes all the packages in your project available for convenience.

[vivid cedar]

Standard assets are indeed gone. They have new ones e.g.

Does using Wheel Collider make it more realistic, or is it better to build your own raycast system?

[reef dome]

If you want ultra realistic you are always better of writing your own, unity's standard asset are for the standard usage of the avg user, it sounds like you need more detail

[gentle arrow]

yeah

Actually, my goal is to develop a realistic mobile car game.

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! Is it expected to get these errors when converting?

I mean the conversion has been completed but I got these errors

[reef dome]

The errors should appear in the console

[lapis gate]

there's only very little you can do when converting built-in to urp shaders

[reef dome]

also not all assets can be converted by default

[lapis gate]

really the converter is mostly for converting unity's standard shaders to their URP counterpart

[arctic axle]

Hi,
I'm currently working with a few shaders I bought on the asset store for testing. So far, I've created materials that seem to have good settings depending on if they are used for a certain purpose (Eg. Characrers, environments, certain scenes, etc). The problem is that this is complex web of custom settings based on these asset shaders that I can't seem to copy over to anything easily. Copying Material Properties or creating a material preset also includes copying textures and a few other unwanted things onto another object. While every model will most likely need some material adjustment, I'd like to not have to start from scratch on every single material.

I was wondering if perhaps it was possible to take my settings as a base and wrap it up into a custom shader I can call from the shader menu like this. Anyone know how to do that?

[copper gust]

i think you want a material variant?

[arctic axle]

I tried that but it still didn't show up on the menu?

Mind walking me through that? I may have done something wrong.

[vivid robin]

Isnt there a settings that we could custom which would make the duplicates numbering with an underscore instead of the brackets

Cube (1) -> Cube_1

Like this

[lapis gate]

yes somewhere

Hello
Is the behavior graph package is still decapracted ? I seen months ago that a staff dev says the development has been abandonned but see in the docs of unity that are still updated.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.behavior@1.0/changelog/CHANGELOG.html#1015---2026-02-02

[ocean pumice]

Couldnt find any source for saying, it has been deprecated

[copper gust]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/an-update-on-behavior/1598451

[grave wedge]

Do you think it should be capable of running something that's 3d and somewhat simple

[pearl oyster]

Install a simple 3D game and see for yourself

[grave wedge]

Ok imma download unity in a while

It uses C# only right?

[long moss]

I think so

[ocean pumice]

Did you read through the thread? https://discussions.unity.com/t/an-update-on-behavior/1598451/154 looks like it has been "revived" or at least continued with another team.

yes unity API only uses c# to interact with engine

I think Coding consists of C# absolutely.

I hope we collaborate with many aspects

I've been running into an issue lately where changing a bool value in a class that is a field on an SO does not update the asset in version control - meaning a bool I want toggled on is always toggled off on a fresh pull/on main. Is there any fix for that?

[grave wedge]

Is C# hard to learn(like is there a lot of free learning resource availability)

[storm patio]

very subjective question

[copper gust]

show code in code-beginner

[radiant pewter]

Actually not quite - I forgot I tried taking it out of the class and putting it on the actual SO, and that didn't fix it either.

[plain dagger]

lots of resources yes

easy? dunno

[storm patio]

there are a lot of free resources though, see pins in #💻┃code-beginner

[ruby fulcrum]

I think C# is not so hard.
It is (C++) + (Interface)

[grave wedge]

Oh ok thanks

[plain dagger]

you sometimes need to manually do "save project" in unity so it writes all file changes to disk

If automating changes then you can manually save an asset or save asset database changes

[grave wedge]

Should I instantly try learning it as a complete beginner to programming or should I learn something else

[storm patio]

"it" as in c#?

there's no real stepping stones up to c#

if c# is the goal, then just learn it

you'll have to learn it eventually

[grave wedge]

Oh ok

[radiant pewter]

how do you manually save it?

[plain dagger]

In code via AssetDatabase
otherwise the File > Save Project menu option is the way

[storm patio]

@grave wedge try giving this a read #💻┃code-beginner message

[ruby fulcrum]

Make sure the bool is a serialized field and not a property with { get, set } since Unity does not serialize properties

[ruby fulcrum]

You're welcome

[storm patio]

if it were a property you can still serialize the backing field

[plain dagger]

and they said it was a field so ❌ nice try

[storm patio]

-# tbf some languages treat "field" and "prop" as interchangeable

[radiant pewter]

save project seems to do it

so weird tho

[plain dagger]

its normal as unity doesnt always write changes to disk strait away
get into the habit of CTRL + S after changing some assets

[radiant pewter]

super annoying with like 4 assets changing their line endings every time tho

but maybe that's just a downside of group projects

[radiant pewter]

oh yeah just for like .prefab/.asset it seems

[acoustic pollen]

[radiant pewter]

it depends on what you're doing really, but yes

for the most part mint works fine since its ubuntu based and one of the main tested distros

How can I connect the Unity Gameobjects and C# public variables?

[near wigeon]

"connect " what do you mean "connect"

also you are tagged as "likely spammer" btw

[ruby fulcrum]

It is not at all

[acoustic pollen]

I guess he meant using C# on Gameobjects like put them on code

[near wigeon]

what are you trying to connect to what? You declare a public variable , put the script on gameobject and it shows up
eg public GameObject myThing

[ruby fulcrum]

I was a website developer 1 month ago, but I am going to be a best Unity developer...
So it is possible for such the message

I wanna use this variable in the visual studio 2022

The c# object should inherit something relative to Unity such as Mono Behaviour. Add the script as a component to an object in the scene. Have a field with a component type that is present on the other game object. If the field is serialized, you'll be able to see the available field in the inspector and drag the other object with an associated component into that field via inspector.

[plain dagger]

thats gonna confuse them even more

its working great, but any idea why its happening? I noticed its happening for animator components too

I recently installed fresh windows 11 and apps (including unity, git etc.) on a new SSD, so I'm assuming it has to be something to do with settings?

It just does this. I am always doing ctrl + s after editing stuff so its not soo bad for me

Any ideas how to fix this issue? I already switched to IMGUI Default Inspector, and it kinda worked, but some textures are still gliched. It is happening randomly, sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes when I move to another monitor it fixes itself. I dont really understand the issue

PS. Im sorry if that is wrong channel, Im still figuring that discord out so feel free to guide me ^^'

[long moss]

Its not the first time. I dealt with that problem like 6 years ago, but Im giving unity second try and have to deal with it one more time. I dont remember what I did to fix it

[deft rock]

There were issues with the editor UI not displaying correctly, but for 6.2 mostly (IIRC).. thought they'd all been sorted

[near wigeon]

try anther newer version of unity? update graphics drivers? switch from dx12 to dx11

[deft rock]

6.3.9 is the latest 6.3

[cursive acorn]

so you were using another game engine before this?

It said recoomended Also its a LTS version

[deft rock]

6.0 is also an LTS version, and has nearly 2 years of patches to be a lot more stable 🙂

But the quoted msg was a reply to nav, showing you're on the latest and can't update

[long moss]

No, I meant that I was using unity before.

[cursive acorn]

ah, gotcha. Personally, I feel like its sometimes better to pick the previous lts version of unity cuz its usually more stable than the new ones

[long moss]

So true

[cursive acorn]

well, not just for unity, more like a general rule when installing other apps

[long moss]

But I gotta say, that I am super confused with that new version I was working on 2k19 and I dont recognise the program anymore xD

I have to learn it from scratch again, or I just feel so

[cursive acorn]

hopefully not, im sure that a good chunk of old stuff is still there

its just layered over new features and options

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I want someone to help me fix this bug with my outline. Please guys this issue bothers me 2-3 days now. I am not sure what I have to do. What is happening is that my outline on the objects work fine in editor but in the build mode it doesn't. Can somebody join call with me maybe, so that I can share my screen or if not try to help me figure it out? Also in build mode I have those issues.

[long moss]

Yeah, and the most confusing one for me is new input system package It scares me xD

Hopefully I will understand it

[deft rock]

There has been UI changes, and updates.. over the 6 years since 2019 was first released..

[cursive acorn]

its not too bad, its easy to implement, although there are one or two quirks. I use for keyboard controls and mouse buttons but its causing my mouse movement to not work as expected

so button work is done by the new input system, the mouse movement with the old

[long moss]

I didnt know it was possible

[cursive acorn]

best way to explain it is use input system to assign buttons, what kind of values they give (bool, vector2 for wasd, etc) through the game engine and just pull the input values from code and use as needed

[long moss]

Im almost done with instaling older version. I'll let you know if that fixed the issue

[hasty kindle]

Hey there, i was wondering whether anyone could help me with unity
I was changing the resolution or whatvere in top right corner and my editor dissapeared and i dont know how to get it back
Im new to Unity and only today tried getting into it

I hope this is the right channel to sk in

[reef dome]

how is it looking now?

[hasty kindle]

well the editor dissapread entirely, it says its open on the hub but i cant seem to find it

its not on the bottom left of task bar either

[reef dome]

oh so the whole window 😄

[hasty kindle]

ye, im a bit lost

[reef dome]

can you kill it with task manager?

[hasty kindle]

ill try

[vivid cedar]

restart your computer worst case

[deft rock]

select it on the task bar -> hold shift + windows key + left/ right to try and bring it onto the monitor

maybe it's moved off screen

[vivid cedar]

but also yeah this^

[deft rock]

I wouldn't have thought it possible on a single monitor, but who know's

[hasty kindle]

welp, i just lost all the stuff i was workin on but i at least learned smth xdd
thank god i wasnt too deep into the whole thing yet

did the task manager approach

[hasty kindle]

will do next time

[reef dome]

usually you can recover scenes like that

[hasty kindle]

how do i

[reef dome]

under Temp/__Backupscenes

[deft rock]

If you've already relaunched Unity, it's too late

[reef dome]

oh yeah then it might be too late

[cursive acorn]

could you explain this a bit more?

[long moss]

I think its working

[cursive acorn]

ayee, nice

[reef dome]

editor does autosaves in that folder, if you just pick that file, move it to the asset folder and rename it x.unity you have a scene again

will most likely still break things but its nice to atleast get some stuff back

[hasty kindle]

where do you find it?? i might be blind xd

[cursive acorn]

that'll def help me in the future next time unity crashes, thanks a lot

[reef dome]

if you have already restarted unity and didnt do any changes it might be gone

its in the base of the project, not in assets

[hasty kindle]

well, at least i know it exists now xd

will use for future

btw I found the issue with the help of AI it was because I had on my game objects outline effect static batching enabled so that it was combining other static objects in one or more combined meshes. So, I think its a rule when working with shaders and quick outline etc I never have to enable static batching.

[crystal dome]

Please help me guys, android build installation as been stuck forever now

[cursive acorn]

maybe try reinstalling?

[crystal dome]

I have tried it

[cursive acorn]

then how about installing everything else other than the android from the hub, and then installing the android from the engine?

[crystal dome]

Yup I will try it

[near wigeon]

how much space you got on C drive

[cursive acorn]

open a project, go to File->Build settings. Then select Android in the platform and you should see the option to "install with unity hub"

[crystal dome]

Oh that's what I did before

[crystal dome]

that's the issue 23

[worldly cave]

23gb of space?

is your c drive also your boot drive?

[crystal dome]

what is a boot drive? my laptop only has 500 gb and I have installed gta v yesterday xD

[worldly cave]

i dont think 23gb of space would be enough for you to install all the dependencies youre missing

you also should not fill up your boot drive this much*

even just having 23gb free of 500 is a seperate problem in and of itself

[crystal dome]

I'm cleaning space atm, I dont know what boot drive is

[cursive acorn]

"A boot drive is a storage device that contains the necessary files to start a computer's operating system."

[crystal dome]

correct me if I am wrong, it is not the C drive?

[worldly cave]

yes, on pcs the boot drive is typically a seperate drive physically

[worldly cave]

in your case yes

[crystal dome]

ok ok

[worldly cave]

since laptops typically have 1 physical drive, and its your everything drive

[crystal dome]

oh so it is in my c

[worldly cave]

Your C drive is your boot drive and it also doesnt have enough space for what you are trying to do

[crystal dome]

I have a feeling that pinokio ai have corrupted my drive

They closed this issue as a duplicate. Here's the original issue, they say it's fixed, but it isn't. https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/values-in-rect-transform-component-are-only-partially-updated-when-changing-values-in-prefab-mode

[deft rock]

I would even say that your issue is possibly not a duplicate. 310 -> 30 isn't the same as removing the last two digits !

oh, you had 305 originally .. so maybe

[violet thunder]

Yep, I can reproduce it on 6000.3.3f1

However, I noticed that it does not happen if auto-save is off and you save it manually

Though, sometimes it seems to work even with auto-save on so maybe they didn't just test it thoroughly.

[tranquil dust]

Hello Everyone,
I'm going to make a funny game, I need assets include characters, vehicles, and etc...
Of course, assets must be modern and fantastic.
Where can I find them?
I'd appreciate if you help me.
Thank you.

[potent geyser]

The Unity Asset store is where you can look.

[tranquil dust]

In this server?

[worldly cave]

its a website

[potent geyser]

On the internet

[worldly cave]

also tbh only about 1% of the assets on the asset store are "modern and fantastic"

[stuck flower]

• Good
• Fast
• Cheap

Pick two.

[steady moon]

My editor went suddenly to 100% gpu usage while idling, idk what happened. Any advice?

[violet thunder]

Do you see any progress bar in the bottom? Maybe its baking lights or something...?

[long moss]

Update: Its still broken xD

[steady moon]

its completely idle

[round grove]

How to get this effect on unity? or is there any asset?

[steady moon]

I restarted the pc, the editor, no difference

[boreal otter]

Hi guys I’m new to the server and I have a game the game is really to get published but I have a problem with the AppStore (iOS) publishing

I don’t have a Mac can I publish my game on something else like Mac cloud services or something like that?

[long moss]

Any other ideas? AI also have no idea what is happening

[exotic relic]

No, you must use a Mac. Even with programs that allow you to publish without a Mac you still need to access one at some point.

[long moss]

Oh, nevermind. I got it for another moment I think xD

[boreal otter]

Thx my brother have one but it’s suuuuuuper laggy and it needs a lot of maintenance and updates

[exotic relic]

I totally understand! Apple is quick picky though. There is a lot of sensitive data involved, it’s easiest and best to just set up your project on Mac and be able to compile there, then you can seamlessly sign and test your app.

I personally picked a cheap M1 Mac off Facebook marketplace and use TeamViewer connected to it from my Main desktop to work on both projects lol.

Oh and Mac App Store has some tools you can use to take screenshots of your mobile game to publish on the store (they request a lot)

Another thing is Apple expects your Mac and Xcode to be on the very latest software now to support any of the new phones

[boreal otter]

I can just download my game on cloud service and drop it in a Mac and go from there right ?

[exotic relic]

That I don’t know. But what I did was upload a zip of my game project to Google Drive and downloaded it on Mac then imported it into Unity through the Hub

[boreal otter]

Yes I will be doing that

This is my second game I’ve made and it took me around 9-12 months to complete

The first one I couldn’t publish it because of android requires to be 18 to publish your game/app

[exotic relic]

Makes sense! That’s great you are getting things done early!
It is quite rewarding to get your app on those platforms, especially Apple!
Expect a lot of pain but you’ll get there

[boreal otter]

Don’t get me started with the ads management

I don’t like ads in my games so I just make it there is 25% chance that an ad pops up so I get revenue and the players don’t get bothered by ads 24/7

[exotic relic]

Rather than it randomly pop up (because that is annoying) you could offer lots of rewards for optionally clicking it

When people are forced into something they want to exit. Have to let them down before they watch the ad by having them choose to do it

[plain dagger]

Interstitials suck but offering the option to watch a rewarded video for some bonus is better for both parties

[boreal otter]

I’ve thought about it and I like that idea more than mine but I’m new to the gaming development and I don’t know how to make it

I don’t know if the ads even work from what I’m getting from debugging it looks like it’s working 😂

[exotic relic]

Then watch a YouTube video, or a couple to understand the concept

Well, if you can’t get the ads to work don’t stress over that. You need decent traffic or a popular gave first before it is going to make money

[deft rock]

not that long ago you didn't know how to make a game .. so "not knowing how to do it" isn't a good excuse.

[boreal otter]

I’ve thought about it and I will be doing that for my next project

[exotic relic]

Don’t even add ads at first, make your game exciting and have players first

If there’s no players then ads don’t make a difference

[fossil smelt]

Does anyone know why I get a message that says "There was a problem parsing the package" when trying to install my APK to a Meta Quest headset? I can't figure out any solutions, no matter how much I tried and how many threads I went through.

[boreal otter]

Not I don’t know how to I’ve made my game from scratch

I don’t know how to implement this idea into my game

[boreal otter]

Good point

[deft rock]

I understood what you said. You didn't understand what I said.

[boreal otter]

This is my game it’s an endless stream game that the long you last the more point your make

[deft rock]

There was a point in time where you could say "i do not know how to make a game".. but now you do.

If you had used "i dunno how" as an excuse not to do it, then you wouldn't have a game rn.

So using "I dunno how" as an excuse to not add this feature with ads ..

I dunno why you're showing me your editor game?

[molten escarp]

Jesus Loves you

[boreal otter]

So I was thinking should I make so when the player die he can continue playing if he watched an ad or something else

Or should I just remove the ads

I’m asking for an advice

[deft rock]

keep the ads, give an incentive to watch them

[boreal otter]

Will thx man 🫡

[worldly cave]

How is that relevant to their issue

[stuck flower]

is this a Unity question

[deft rock]

Jesus is Unity

[copper gust]

we can probably teach him about cross product

[fossil smelt]

Jesus loves you too man.

[molten escarp]

What was it you needed help with?

[plain dagger]

the fuck is going on

Weird Discord proselytizing

[worldly cave]

There is no god in Unity, the entire editor is one of the many rings of hell

[deft rock]

Hell is magenta

[stuck flower]

[fossil smelt]

No it's fine, I fixed it.

[molten escarp]

Are you making gtag fangame or smth else

[storm patio]

hi, this is not a social space

no off-topic here please #📖┃code-of-conduct

[fossil smelt]

I am.

[molten escarp]

nice

[molten escarp]

Can you like not minimod

[molten escarp]

Im not even discouraging son

[worldly cave]

what

[storm patio]

i am

i'm discouraging the off-topic

you can keep going and wait for a real mod to get involved if you want, i don't mind

[molten escarp]

It’s literally unity talk so stop mini modding

[copper gust]

they do really have to change the channel name

[molten escarp]

I literally asked if someone was making a gtag fangame

Thats unity talk

[storm patio]

no, that's just talk

[worldly cave]

its a help channel

not genchat

[molten escarp]

But it’s unity talk

Not help

[copper gust]

its in the general category, called unity talk and the description is "non programming unity topics"

its meant to be a help channel

but right now its hard to say it is

[worldly cave]

i know this is probably a big topic for you, but different words can typically mean different things

if you read the channel description it tells you exactly what the channel is for

[storm patio]

i think being active here for several years would give a good impression of how the channels are used.

you're free to keep chatting off-topic stuff and wait for a mod to intervene if you want, i can't stop you. i'm only here to warn you.

[copper gust]

what they asked is in line with the description

cmon now

if the server really wants this to be a help channel the stuff needs to reflect that

[worldly cave]

But it is and it does?

why is this a debate now all of a sudden

[storm patio]

is it? the description says "unity topics & questions"
this is a help and discussion channel. it's still not a social space

it's a little ambiguous with overlap with #1157336089242112090, maybe. but it's not so broad as to allow this.

[copper gust]

i feel like most people absolutely assume "what unity game are you making" is a unity topic, espicially when its a channel called unity-talk and in a category called general

[worldly cave]

the name is ambigious but the mods have been pretty clear on their stance

when it comes to the channel

[copper gust]

then the stuff should change

otherwise they are being a little silly

[remote summit]

do someone know where is the asset store to get a image for a button?

[storm patio]

without knowing the server beforehand, yeah fair enough.

[worldly cave]

they gave pretty good reasons as to why they wont

[molten escarp]

It is unity topic. Gtag is unity game development, making it unity talk. And the question was , “are you making a gtag fangame?” Sooooo

[worldly cave]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1466471691914973427

[storm patio]

just google for images. it's not that hard

[deft rock]

gtag does not have to be made with Unity.

[molten escarp]

Gtag is made with unity

And fangames too

[remote summit]

if i ask for this is bcs i preffer a safe place instead?

[storm patio]

alright, and i'm saying with my experience of living here that it is absolutely not an appropriate conversation for this channel.

[worldly cave]

most gtag fan games are also made with decompiled versions of said game

so they are also out of the window when it comes to discourse here

[molten escarp]

Bull hockey

[storm patio]

you're downloading pngs.. you can't embed executables in pngs.. that's not part of the format

[copper gust]

Respectfully no i think this is really stupid. you can't "rules" away language comprehension

[charred iris]

Oh boy I went to do laundry and came back to unity having crashed _._ Is this a normal experience? (crashes on a nearly empty project while it's just sitting idle?)

[storm patio]

well i tried to warn you nicely

typically no

[worldly cave]

then make another thread in #1161868835423526933 but i guarantee you will get the same answer

[storm patio]

ive had unity open for days without it having crashes

[copper gust]

ok

[worldly cave]

also #📖┃code-of-conduct and id:browse explains it pretty well

[remote summit]

u can do weird things with this. rather not take the risk

[copper gust]

mods are consistently silly on the issue

this happens every day

they can keep blaming people for not reading the rules

[potent geyser]

Keep this off the server, thanks.

[worldly cave]

well it is typically the fault of the people who dont read the rules

why is expecting people to read the rules of a server suddenly controversial

[copper gust]

the fault of the people talking generally in the general talk named channel

channels have names for a reason
categories have names for a reason
descriptions have names for a reason

[worldly cave]

this server is very explicit that its a help only space with no off topic

thats the umbrella rule for every channel here p much

[copper gust]

i just pointed out that it is not

[worldly cave]

[copper gust]

if it was explicit we wouldn't be in a channel called unity-talk, a channel for non programming topics and questions

like these words have meaning lol

[worldly cave]

do you think if it was named anything else

that it would stop people from using it as gen chat

[copper gust]

i mean yeah

[storm patio]

it's both not explicit and it's not a help-only space, tbh

there are some channels here that are for discussion, not counting the readonly channels

[worldly cave]

there are exceptions

but they are the exception and not the norm

the majority of the channels are help channels, including this one

[storm patio]

though, i don't think changing the channel name will do much. i think it's the description that's ambiguous could probably have a separate thread for that

[copper gust]

the way this server operates is an exception

discord servers typically do not operate like this

[worldly cave]

i just dont see the point of even using this as a social space, if anyone knows anything about large discord servers is that offtopic channels typically devolve into a nonsensical shitstorm

[copper gust]

this server clearly does not do a good job communicating this

[storm patio]

and that isn't clear. i don't think there's anything that explicitly says that.

[jagged sage]

does anyone know the fix

[storm patio]

add a frictionless material to one or both of the objects

you may have to reduce speed or add drag on the player to compensate for the reduced friction on the floor

[jagged sage]

the physics material on the box collider?

or

[worldly cave]

then its just another thing to air out in a #1161868835423526933 thread i suppose

[storm patio]

either the rigidbody or boxcollider will work

setting a material on the rb applies it to all the attached colliders iirc

[jagged sage]

i dont really have anything in those

[storm patio]

yes, you need to create a frictionless material

[jagged sage]

as a code?

or some editor stuff

[storm patio]

no, you just right click > create > physics2d > physicsmaterial2d, iirc

[jagged sage]

ight thanks

[gray frigate]

correct, it's an asset

like a material or a prefab

[jagged sage]

theres static and dynamic friction

do i set both to 0

[storm patio]

uhh that sounds like a 3d physicsmaterial
i may be misremembering though

[jagged sage]

i dont really see physicsmaterial2D

just physicsmaterial

[storm patio]

it'd be in the physics2d submenu

[jagged sage]

oh

nvm

its in the 2d section

[storm patio]

ah.

[jagged sage]

being an idiot like always

[latent meadow]

ye olde Id 10 T error

[gray frigate]

3D and 2D physics have a lot of overlap, so it's easy to get mixed up

(fun fact: 3D has PhysicMaterial, not PhysicsMaterial!)

[remote summit]

can i talk in thsi channel about help to fix a problem i have with unity? i get it freeze like super usually it will goe on hold on busy... and just stay there infinitely. might be while im running it and also happens while im not running the proyect is just can be random at all and i have to close it wiht task manager

[jagged sage]

is capsule and boxcollider just difference in shape

[storm patio]

yeah

[storm patio]

perhaps check logs in case there's some info about what it was doing
