[sacred sparrow]

lol, how did you get marked as a spammer already

[ruby fulcrum]

I studied Unity manual during 2 days

I got some basic knowledge

[sacred sparrow]

also #🤝┃introductions

[ruby fulcrum]

I don't know well.

How can I fix that mark?

[sacred sparrow]

idk

[ruby fulcrum]

Got it

[latent meadow]

that is a discord thing, not a 'this server' thing. you'd need to talk to them'

[ruby fulcrum]

Yeah, you're right

I won't mention that here

[latent meadow]

as mentioned, check out #🤝┃introductions and also, #📖┃code-of-conduct for this servers information

[placid chasm]

I have a question about keeping a project up to date. Is it normal to update packages while you develop a project or is it generally avoided to avoid breaking stuff?

[worldly cave]

you always use version control specifically in case you break anything

[balmy kettle]

Depends on the project's needs. But usually you'd only grab patch updates as needed and avoid big updates if they aren't necessary.
As always though make sure you've got a backup through some sort of version control before any update

[boreal river]

Hello, guys! How are you? I just wanted to recommend something to staff. Why don't they create some voice channels, in order for devs to join call and get help by sharing screen etc wouldn't be great??

[placid chasm]

Ok thanks.

I have an asset from the store, they just released an update, it doesn't show up under "My project" or "Updates" in the package manager. Though I installed it via package manager like normal. When I go to "My assets" it is listed and it has an option to "Download update" but nothing really calling it out clearly as an updated needed. I would never have known if I didn't get the email notification.

Is this a bug I'm guessing

[latent meadow]

use #1161868835423526933 for that, but it has already been a big No

[worldly cave]

Impossible to moderate

[balmy kettle]

that's 100% normal, even for packages there's not typically any sort of obvious notification about them having an update available

[balmy kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1180178376028327936

[worldly cave]

Also pointless, if any problem or issue can be explained in a call, it can be explained through carefuly written sentences and any additional videos and screenshots

theres nothing that a call really makes easier, it makes it impossible to track the conversation and to review code as well

[molten lodge]

Just curious, what color do you guys have set when you click Play? I changed mine to red but it makes it feel like there is an error or something lol

[latent meadow]

Cyan

[molten lodge]

Solid. I might steal that lol

[copper gust]

voice calls also are harder for other people to proof read

[boreal river]

I have seen in Unreal Engine Server they do have Voice Channels and developers are getting help there. I mean why not?

It's just a feedback

[plain dagger]

that would need people to want to do that

[boreal river]

There always be people that are willing to help, even I

[balmy kettle]

this isn't the unreal server. we have different rules here. it is made very clear in that post i linked that voice channels will not happen. you're just adding noise unnecessarily by continuing to request it

[cunning magnet]

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Abbey — a 2D & 3D artist, animator, game artist, and voice actor
I work on game assets, animations, environments, VFX, promos, short videos, and Web3/memecoin visuals
Happy to connect with devs, founders, and other creatives here
Nice to meet you all

[stuck flower]

Did you consider clicking on the link you replied to

[latent meadow]

if you are not a bot, use #🤝┃introductions

[boreal river]

I have seen the rules

yes

it says if you want to join on call just take it to DMS

[balmy kettle]

also how do you expect the voice channels to be moderated so that people are using them correctly if you can't even bother reading the rules and relevant "read me" posts before you make a suggestion?

[boreal river]

Yes that wont ever happen

[stuck flower]

So I don't think you clicked on it because that's not the rules

[boreal river]

It would be really a good idea taking that idea in this server and apply it but yeah if you dont want, it would be great because some people are struggling in writing text all the time or maybe some of them aren't good in typing and it requires much more time to actually send all the information and get help.

[boreal river]

I am not a moderator not sure

[peak pebble]

Guys I have a problem with my Unity project. After a while, my character goes through walls. Can you give me some advice or tell me where to study Unity physics so I can learn? Thank you very much.

[ruby fulcrum]

I'm back

[copper gust]

if they aren't good at writing and typing they are not going to be good enough at programming

[ruby fulcrum]

Unity manual.

[worldly cave]

Also most people who want you to go into call with them for help are just there so you can backseat and do all the work for them

[boreal river]

Bro relax I am just throwing ideas because I am on Unrael Engine Server because I am using Unreal as well and have seen that they are applying it, they have both Voice Channels and Text Channels

[copper gust]

Asking people for free teaching and support does take a little effort

[peak pebble]

you can send the link?

[ruby fulcrum]

yeah. hold on

[ruby fulcrum]

This is the manual of Unity 6.3 Version.

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

[peak pebble]

thx bro

[boreal river]

but I do think there are other Unity Servers and Game Dev servers basically that allow Voice Channels, so I can try and get more detailed help on call there, so anyway.

[plain dagger]

i guess searching "unity docs" is too hard

[ruby fulcrum]

You're welcome.
I started it at first

[plain dagger]

id understand if it was some obscure lib but unity isnt

[peak pebble]

What do you recommend I see for my problem?

[plain dagger]

If you move your player with physics forces this shouldnt happen. If you directly change their position then this is probably the cause

Its a very very common mistake for beginners to make

[ruby fulcrum]

I recommend tutorial

[peak pebble]

bro i use transform.position()

[ruby fulcrum]

and examples

[plain dagger]

bro lol that be the issue HAHA wot

[stuck flower]

compile error

[plain dagger]

are those two bots or what

[ruby fulcrum]

I can fix this.
Please let me know that in details

[stuck flower]

position is not a function

[broken quiver]

Hello, a question, mostly out of curiosity, what is the maximum number of tags that can be created? According to a comment from 2014 it was 10,001, does anyone know if it's still like this? (I repeat, it's curiosity, I'm not going to create +10K tags haha)

[balmy kettle]

i can't imagine that number has changed recently, and really the only way to test it would be to actually make that many tags. so that's probably still the limit, but why anyone would need more than a dozen or so is beyond me

[copper gust]

Why do you want tags in the first place

[broken quiver]

Me for nothing. I said I was asking out of curiosity, as random information if you want to see it one way

[copper gust]

fair

most people wouldn't know as generally once your comfortable in unity a lot of people stop using them

[cloud frost]

so a wtf just happened'

idk how tio fix this annoyance

[ionic void]

which annoyance do you mean?

[cloud frost]

also i talked to a hoomaaann that made a card game for vrc, they said the main thing i would have to worry about is world size for quest, anything else is fair game

[latent meadow]

that's because your quijibo did a doesedo. aka, it is meaningless unless you explain

[cloud frost]

the camera....... its uhh

well uh idk how to explain it

i can only pivit around a point and i cany fly

cant

[balmy kettle]

you're in isometric mode, click where it says "Iso" to change back to perspective

[worldly cave]

wasnt it called orthographic and not isometric

[exotic relic]

There’s both

[worldly cave]

isnt an isometric camera just an orthographic one thats been tilted at 45 degrees?

[balmy kettle]

yes, which is why it is labeled "Iso" because it has that tilt

[exotic relic]

Pretty much. I never use it but I do use the XYZ cones, clicking on them to have a flat view for aligning colliders

[worldly cave]

hmmm weird, i always thought it was called orthographic in editor

i might be thinking of blender then lol

[exotic relic]

I like it, very helpful for aligning colliders and swapping weapon models

The compass looking thing is interactive on the cones and the flat faces of the box

[balmy kettle]

the game camera has a mode that is literally called orthographic. the scene view has both perspective and orthographic modes, but there are several ortho modes and this just happens to coincide with an isometric view, hence calling it isometric. it's just not labeled as orthographic for the scene view camera

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/overlay-orientation.html

[worldly cave]

Ah i see

thats actually neat i didnt know that

i knew you could switch to ortho and look at all the axis directly, but i didnt know it had an option for built in iso view

[cloud frost]

yeah i cant find it

[worldly cave]

its barely visible in the screenshot but its there

[cloud frost]

BROOOO THATS LIKE INVISIABLE

[hybrid oyster]

So i'm using structs for raw data for my Attribute/Stat system. The question I have is (since i'm very new to programming and especially game development), should I make enums that correlate to the information in the structs?

[latent meadow]

perhaps better suited for #💻┃code-beginner someone might just answer here though

[hybrid oyster]

Like if I have public struct Strength {} should I have an enum public enum PrimaryAttributes { Strength, Dexterity, Constitution } ?

that's better suited because i said i was new?

[stuck flower]

A dictionary or switch statement most likely

[latent meadow]

because it is code related.

[stuck flower]

Although if it's a dict you'll need a shared parent type for all the stat structs

[hybrid oyster]

ooh ooh yeah yeah i noticed that "non-programming unity ... etc etc"

[hybrid oyster]

in order to "look up the Stats within the structs / structs" or ?

howcome my blender models bone rotation is 0, 0, 0 but in unity its random?

[abstract umbra]

what do you choose for Transform->Up when exporting from blender?

[crisp phoenix]

Y Up

[next coyote]

does having a bunch of light probes tax render performance?

[polar laurel]

Is this visual oddity with what I know are supposed to be crisp looking circles from some setting I dont have on or a bug or is it something else?

[minor palm]

anyone know the specific date when unity will upgrade free version control?

[silent jasper]

what does this mean???

[slow dirge]

Version control failed to authenticate.

If you're not using unity version control, remove the package, otherwise, try logging out/in in the hub or the project dashboard. Maybe check the vcs/Services tabs in project settings.

[silent jasper]

i was planning too to work with my friend

[remote needle]

wouldnt it just be better to use git?

[slow dirge]

Then follow what's coming after "otherwise". 🤷‍♂️

But yeah, unity vcs is not the only way to collaborate.

[cloud frost]

due to how vr works, i need to attach text inside the file it self and not just a png bc it will become unreadable, is there a way i can do that cause "text" canus method is making it too damn difficult to do

like straight it, it becomes gigantic and scalling it down is another issue cause it will move all over the plac!!! and getting to the right position takes years and not only that but for some reason the actual TEXT is like 5000 light years away from the cancus and u cant move the text and canvus seprately and you cant speprate them cause other wise thy'll break

[storm patio]

what do you mean "the file"

what kind of file is this

[slow dirge]

What do you mean in general? None of that text makes sense to me, especially with all the grammar mistakes.

What's cancus? A cactus?

[late harness]

Hello. Can someone help me with this? What should I do?

[slow dirge]

Move your project out of the users dir.

[late harness]

How do I do that?

[slow dirge]

Copy paste. Or cut paste. Or drag and drop. Common pc usage knowledge.

[late harness]

No okay I have to copy and paste but what are the correct folders? Caus I have already one called assets and the code I made is already there but it says this

[sacred sparrow]

i keep it on a separate disk*

[late harness]

How?

[sacred sparrow]

well

copy and paste the project folder...

[acoustic anchor]

How do i resize the base terrain? every tutorial i see has a terrain toolbox for it but i don't have that anywhere

that might be a good place to start

[long grotto]

hi, i am having a dual platform game and i want to have a experimenter view, which experimenter will connect camera of the experimentee. and it will be like a watching stream. expermenter will see experimentee's camera

i was looking in the internet but didn't find any solution addressing this idea

[copper gust]

solution to what problem

[plain dagger]

Multiplayer game where the other person is a client that's just a camera?

That's what I understand anyway

[long grotto]

yes that's correct

i want to connect that camera thorugh another scene and watch from there

[copper gust]

have you looked up how to make a multiplayer game

[long grotto]

but it wont be multiplayer

experimenter will just see the stream

[plain dagger]

Then you can use unitys networking for gameobjects or a third party solution like mirror.
You would need to make the game work for multiplayer however which may be hard if things already exist

[copper gust]

it will be multiplayer

[plain dagger]

Then just live stream the game view

Haha who knows what they want

[copper gust]

you won't find many tutorials on how to make your own streaming service, it's a bit of a thing

[long grotto]

thats what i want

[long grotto]

oh no

[ocean pumice]

Or you can just use the streaming/sharing of your OS your game is running on

[copper gust]

or just make it multiplayer

[plain dagger]

Time to research OBS

[long grotto]

my supervisor wants it possible thorugh unity project not with like obs or discord screenshare

[plain dagger]

That's just harder for no good reason

[copper gust]

this is a big task for a supervisor to give to someone who is self admittedly a beginner in unity

[ocean pumice]

Okay, to clarify. You got a main scene somethign is happening with a camera. Then you got a second screen with a different camera (position can change?) or is it the same view as the mainscene?

[long grotto]

i agree

THIS

[copper gust]

like if this has to be self contained in unity

it's a multiplayer thing

[long grotto]

no i have a project, that player goes plays the game, meanwhile i want to create a new scene that another user connects to the player (who is playing the game) and watch their camera (like watching a game view stream)

[long grotto]

it seems like it is. but my player rig doesnt have a body, it is just flying camera literally

[ocean pumice]

So its basically multiplayer, because you have two separate instances of players (in your case running the same application two times on different machines)

[copper gust]

this means nothing

[long grotto]

i am going to run the same application two times on different machines. One as player one as watcher

[plain dagger]

Both possible solutions have been stated

Stream the game output as video or make it multiplayer

[ocean pumice]

So either direct stream, which is the right way in my opinion. Or you have to setup simple multiplayer and assign roles to the machines to be able to interact

[ocean pumice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@2.8/manual/index.html might be the simplest setup you could use as its simpler to use than creating a socket connection or whatever

[long grotto]

do you have any recommendation of a video or blog for how to stream the game output

oh thanks!!

[long grotto]

oh no! this seems only supports unity 6 and later

my project is on unity 5

[ocean pumice]

there are older versions of netcode for older unity

[copper gust]

unity 5?

[long grotto]

sorry i mean 2022

[ocean pumice]

For a second I felt young again 😄

[slow dirge]

The correct folder is the project folder. The one that contains your assets folder and everything else.

I was wondering how unity games can end up on fortnite? Does fortnite just behave like a launcher client like steam or EGL? Because Unreal engine can't digest unity games...

[slow dirge]

No. Iirc, you only author the game data(including logic) in unity and it gets read and executed in unreal.

[wise bloom]

Unreal Engine emulates itself as unity?

[slow dirge]

No. It doesn't emulate anything. The data is converted to a format that unreal can read and execute easily.

[sly lake]

Cross-engine interfacing isn't as hard anymore with Pixar USD and GLTF being a thing

Fairly easy to build a scene in one, then export to another now.

[wise bloom]

Has this been done before?

[wise bloom]

I guess for meshes with simple shaders, but what about those meshes with custom shaders

[slow dirge]

As a concept unrelated to unity and unreal? For sure.

[slow dirge]

Shaders are just compiled into graphics api specific binary code. This is not engine dependent.

[late harness]

How do I add the plug-in Playmaker to Unity?

[sly lake]

Simple- don't support that

[sly lake]

It's still going to need to work with the right inputs

[slow dirge]

Ah, fair point. I guess that's where unity and unreal have to come to some agreement.

[copper gust]

probably will come with a specific shader to use?

[wise bloom]

[sacred sparrow]

no need for that btw

Unity already has Visual Scripting by default

[late harness]

Ok but I'm currently trying to make a metroidvania game and I heard that is really useful to make the AI for enemies more detailed and stuff

[sacred sparrow]

hmm, did you buy PlayMaker from the unity asset store?

Visual Studio guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

[sacred sparrow]

i would suggest using Rider and not VS btw

[peak pebble]

what things?

[sacred sparrow]

Rider is an IDE from jetbrains

it's free for non commercial stuff

[copper gust]

vs is fine

[peak pebble]

if I may ask you why you think it's better

[storm patio]

vs is fine tbh.

even vscode is fine. a ton of ides are free for personal use anyways

[ocean pumice]

Its most likely personal preference which IDE you want to use. Feel free to try out the one you find more appealing.

[sacred sparrow]

i've always found VS really slow, a bit buggy and bloated tbh

[late harness]

Not yet. Do I have to pay money?

[sacred sparrow]

60 euros *

[late harness]

[copper gust]

just use visual scripting

[sacred sparrow]

yeah that's what i told him

lol

[sly lake]

Rider has a bunch of Unity-specific integrations, like performance and code-style tips. Telling you if values are assigned in the inspector, color pickers for the color types, and a lot more.

[sacred sparrow]

and also shows the DOTS generated code

• you can directly debug the engine itself

(idk if VS can do that too tho)

[pastel onyx]

How does it look?

[sly lake]

Tiny

[sacred sparrow]

pls learn how to use OBS

[pastel onyx]

Yeah well

I uhhh

Was feeling lazy

[sacred sparrow]

lol

[pastel onyx]

And the videos made in OBS are pretty big in size

So well I just don't use it much

[sly lake]

Winkey + G

[sacred sparrow]

that too, yeah

[sly lake]

You can also control this by setting the bitrate lower

[deft rock]

and there's a program called handbrake you can use to compress, lowering the file size significantly in some cases

[pastel onyx]

Well i just wanted to show the animations I set up?

Because it's my first time making TPS?

[deft rock]

no one wants to watch a poorly recorded phone video?

70% of the video is wasted on the surrounding environment

once you've got obs and sorted out the file size, use #🏆┃daily-win to show off your progress. #1180170818983051344 for on going updates

[reef dome]

just use win + shift + s and set it to video mode at the top 😄

[sly lake]

It doesn't have that, here

[reef dome]

its just a call to snipping tool

[sly lake]

Doesn't have a video option

[reef dome]

but the windows game bar is the first thing that gets thrown of any pc i touch 😄

[sly lake]

I like the frame rate graph

[reef dome]

but if you like frame rate you want game bar to disappear 😄

its one of the worst offenders of external performance problems

[sly lake]

I don't have performance problems

[reef dome]

if your pc is strong enough sure, still i dont want to have lower fps cause windows wants to push a gaming copilot in my face

anyways yeah, no big harm if you dont disable it, just one of those things that I see as shovelware 😄

but im curious why your snipping tool does not have a video option

[sly lake]

I can't really find another FPS overlay with a nice graph like that

[reef dome]

nvidia's overlay should have it aswell, not that its any better than game bar though

[sly lake]

Yeah I don't have that installed

I do the manual driver install every time

[reef dome]

yeah thats kinda recommended anyways, just got it cause I want shadowplay sometimes

i really gotta setup video buffers in obs instead

[tall hearth]

windows 10 snipping tool doesnt windows 11 does

[sly lake]

I'm using 11

Ah, I see. This machine is still on 24H2. Presumably on an LTS track (enterprise managed)

[past gate]

How big is this?

[storm patio]

like, 8 GB, last i recall

i don't have unity 6 installed currently

[past gate]

just that right?

[storm patio]

you don't need to download documentation fwiw, it's available offline

[sly lake]

I always like to have it, as a backup

Plus it's probably not that big

[past gate]

I was using the older version, around 2021 or 2022, I don't remember exactly. I don't know if I should go back to it or switch to the newer version.

[sly lake]

For what purpose? Starting a new project or continuing an old one?

[past gate]

thats my last version right?

[storm patio]

unity 2022 is 10 GB, unity 6 is probably a bit bigger

[past gate]

new

[sly lake]

Right. Just start on 6.3 LTS then

[past gate]

like? 11 gb?

[sly lake]

You have 6.0, why not check?

[tall hearth]

reading comprehension is hard, you know it says before you install right?

[past gate]

cant find the size:/

its just download it

[past gate]

nope

[tall hearth]

tf you mean "nope" it's right there in the photo ~_~

[past gate]

i just found that so

[storm patio]

i mean your question was "you know X, right?"

[tall hearth]

hmm fair point guess they didn't know

[past gate]

just can find this

[tall hearth]

cause it doesnt say there

[past gate]

doesnt appear any size

[tall hearth]

you'll have to find out after it's installed

[past gate]

its will dowwnload all of those right?

automatically

[storm patio]

just the ones you checked

[tall hearth]

the things you had checked off

[past gate]

i dont remember i was checked something 🙂

Also, is this version stable?

[storm patio]

for some definition of stable, yes

[tall hearth]

for others there's still quite a few annoying bugs

[past gate]

so is there better version ?

[storm patio]

depends on what you mean by "better"

it's fine though.

[tall hearth]

no clue most of the time it's a preference thing

[past gate]

Fewer problems

i dont like versions issues

[storm patio]

every one is going to come with some issues

that's just the nature of software tbh

[past gate]

i thougt the issues from me so

[storm patio]

we aren't clairvoyent, we don't know which issues you'd eventually encounter, or which you would hypothetically encounter if you used a different version

[past gate]

I mean the known or recurring problems in the releases

not from the person

i think i will try with myself:/

[storm patio]

literally every software ever has known and recurring issues that come with releases

[abstract umbra]

there isnt, never been and will never be a version without officially known bugs

[past gate]

[storm patio]

you're asking us to read the future and see how many times you'll trip over a certain chair vs another, slightly different chair

[abstract umbra]

6000.3.10f1 is the latest LTS version, its not alpha and its not beta, its fully released version, that should be enough to tell you if you should use it or not. People who are making decisions to release a version are probably smart

but they aren't infallible

[abstract umbra]

if youre new(i dont know that, just an assumption), the bigger concern is that you wont be able to do much on your own, meaning you will try to learn from video tutorials, and the majority of those are just old, or even ultra old, and trying to follow a tutorial that uses unity 2022 or even 2020 while having unity 6 installed will make it much harder

[storm patio]

eh, there's not too much that changed tbh. there's the input backend thing, but that just needs a little reading

[azure grove]

good learning content teaches concepts, you can apply those concepts to any version or engine

also huge parts of the core of unity have not changed much in a long long time

[deft pumice]

hey people, im new to unity and this place... came to ask, could anyone help? trying to make a first person camera in unity... with a tutorial, i have it setup almost exactly as the person in the tutorial has, but for some reason, the camera positions itself in a completely different position than it should be, i can send over the project files

okay, thanks

[reef dome]

or rather code in #💻┃code-beginner, if you think its code related

but general questions are fine in here

[deft pumice]

i mean... i have no idea whats causing it, it might be code related

[reef dome]

Yeah then it would be good to send screenshots/videos of everything relevant here, along with a description of how it should behave/what the error is

Generally nobody will just straight up open project files here, rarely a deep dive between users happens if somebody gets invested into a topic but its not the normal case

[deft pumice]

kay, basically, i have two code files https://paste.ofcode.org/32QDU33YXLPE4VnyeN7Zik3 and this https://paste.ofcode.org/LrBSumMW8zBtvHtkEbSVHF...

this is how it looks when i start the game, the intended effect is that... the camera is inside the playerobject, as in, first person camera should be...

[reef dome]

what did you reference in the cameraholders cameraposition field?

[deft pumice]

the camerapos object, which is placed inside of the player, i can send over a screenshot

[reef dome]

Hmm yeah your camera is offset from the camera holder

if you want the camera to snap into the player it needs to be on 0,0,0 local position on the camera holder

[deft pumice]

hmm... okay, ill try something

[reef dome]

also if you are learning cameras I can recommend directly learning Cinemachine 3

its a bit more complex but on the other hand brings a lot of components by default

[deft pumice]

i somehow fixed it, thank you... as for cinemachine, i am trying it out on a different project, i just need to learn more about unity, so im trying this out

[reef dome]

You are basically using what i would call the "old" version of camera handling, its still fine for smaller projects but cinemachine is better in 99% of the cases

[deft pumice]

good to know

[reef dome]

No harm in learning one thing after another though, you are right 😄

[cursive mural]

I can't create Projects on Unity on Linux

Can someone please help me here

[reef dome]

If you describe your error properly, we might be able to

[cursive mural]

I'm on CachyOS. It's an Arch based Distro. I've downloaded Unity 2019.4.40f1 to mess with 'Mapify Continue', a Derail Valley map editor mod. But I'm unable to create any projects

I click on the 'Create Project'.

[reef dome]

We are not able to help with modding on this server

[cursive mural]

Not with modding

I need help with getting Unity working. I click create Project, and it instead sends me back to the Projects screen on the Unity Hub

Oh I see what happened

Nevermind

[cursive mural]

I didn't put the install and download location with enough SPACE LOL

[cursive mural]

Actually no. Still not work9ing proerlu

I can't create Projects

[deft pumice]

i got another problem... i have the same camera system as before, i tried setting up movement for Player, but... the result would be that i can only move on one single plane? i guess... i dont actually understand whats happening, i can go forwards and backwards, when i turn my camera enough, it makes forward be backwards as its supposed to be... but... i dunno https://paste.ofcode.org/3aKzY9X6V2zcyK35TEcszKQ here is the code... also, there is definitely some sort of problem, because no matter which direction i go, the Z coordinate decreases by... a lot

[vivid cedar]

You would have to show more information here. Most likely it's a problem of how you set this up in the hierarchy and your rotation script. E.g. which object are you actually rotating, what is a parent and child of what, etc..

[cursive mural]

Can I please get some help

[sacred sparrow]

well, we need more info

[stuck flower]

Don't ping people you're not in a conversation with

!install

[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.

[sacred sparrow]

it's not an install thing

oh wait, you did it for the log paths?

[cursive mural]

There is no logs for Unity Hub

I'm stuck in the Unity Hub. Not in the main editor

[flat breach]

hello, how do most of you make your own decals? All I see is people find them in assets, but what if I want to make a personal one?

[flat breach]

do I just need a .png texture?

[modest meteor]

a transparent texture, and you might also want a normal map, maybe a roughness texture too

[flat breach]

okay so if I want a text decal, I'd just need the transparent texture of the text(as source) and then a material with an external tool?

[modest meteor]

you can just try to write out some text in photoshop or some other program and make that a decal texture and see how it looks, idk what style you're going for

[flat breach]

okay, do you know a tool to make complete materials? I've never made any by myself.

[craggy pollen]

you make the materials in unity

[flat breach]

textures bro

don't play with words lol

[worldly cave]

You said materials

[flat breach]

nah actually, sorry mb for expressing myself poorly

sorry

[modest meteor]

photoshop is one of them but it takes a lot of learning to be able to make realistic and good looking textures
there's also substance painter and substance designer but i'm not sure those are good for decals

[craggy pollen]

photoshop, gimp etc

[onyx yacht]

my nav mesh agent keeps turning off wan i press play

[lost garnet]

Is it ok to use a a free tweening library from assetstore for my personal project (for steam)?

[onyx yacht]

how do i fix it

[deft rock]

probably yes, read which license is has on the store page.

[pastel onyx]

I'm pretty sure it's fine

DOTween?

[lost garnet]

So, there ain't anything to worry about legal issues

[craggy pollen]

what do you mean with turning off

[lost garnet]

Do you also use it?

[abstract umbra]

Just check its license

[pastel onyx]

I don't think so, but do read the asset store page

[pastel onyx]

I used it in an open source project

[onyx yacht]

im making my game right know and my monsters nav mesh turns off wan i press play but wan im not in play mode its on

[deft pumice]

@vivid cedar you still there? sorry for the ping, i dont have any restraints on the rigidbody

[onyx yacht]

and i try to tick the box but nothing happens

[craggy pollen]

weird, why does the component gets disabled

[onyx yacht]

idk

[craggy pollen]

you sure you ar enot doing it via code somewhere

[pastel onyx]

Is there some script that controls the object with navmesh stuff?

[onyx yacht]

yes the horror ai it needs the nav mesh to work

[pastel onyx]

I'm curious if maybe the navmesh object is the child of an object it's not supposed to be and that object gets disabled the moment the game starts

[onyx yacht]

its the mosnter ai sript

[lost garnet]

Try remaking another object and just attach the navmeshagent component and see if it gets disabled too

[onyx yacht]

yup thats whats happening

[deft rock]

components get turned off for generally 2 reasons
1- you've got a script telling it to
2- there's a runtime error so Unity disables it.. -> check your console

[onyx yacht]

theres no run time error

[pastel onyx]

Do one thing

Delete the navmesh object

And make a new one

With a different set up

[onyx yacht]

MIT license. You should be fine. Just respect the copyright

[onyx yacht]

i know what it is its my playfab money

[lost garnet]

Wait, wdym by respect the copyright?

[storm patio]

the license says what you can do. anything it prohibits or doesn't explicitly allow, you can't do. and you're still subject to any terms imposed.

[broken rover]

the original copyright and license notice are included.

That's it lol

You can basically do anything otherwise

It's very common in many many assets and OSS projects

[lost garnet]

I hesitate to use any assets. Idk why

[broken rover]

It's not a bad idea to be weary anyway

But dw MIT is very permissive

[onyx yacht]

i turned off the monster ai and now the nav mesh agent turns on but idk why this is happening

[woeful violet]

guys i am making a first person 3d game and i got this error when i tried testing my first person thing what do i do?

im using unity for the first time and idk what does it mean

[storm patio]

+รืยีะ

whoops

!input

[vagrant root]

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

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

[storm patio]

make sure to give the error an actual read

it's not all foreign

[woeful violet]

so i just have to set an input

[storm patio]

the input settings

[woeful violet]

ok 👍

but where do i find project settings

[storm patio]

in Edit, i think

either that or File

[woeful violet]

thx

i turned on "both" maybe it will work

[lost garnet]

I still use old input system, it gives a warning that it is deprecated but works fine.

I don't like why unity made this deprecated

[broken rover]

Thou Input system is old

[lost garnet]

I can remake the input system in new input system any time I want

[storm patio]

the new input system is well worth learning imo, much more flexible. but that comes with complexity

[woeful violet]

!variable

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called variable.

[lost garnet]

But the thing is that the old input system is simple and easy to setup.

[woeful violet]

damn

no variables

how do i get variables

[broken rover]

Basically unity made a new input system but still allows compatibility with the old one if you toggle it

Issue is of course if you don't toggle it then code that uses the old input system wont work

[woeful violet]

oh

also guys

[storm patio]

there are beginner c# tutorials pinned in #💻┃code-beginner, also check out unity learn

[lost garnet]

Ik, but in the beginning, I prefer focusing on the actual game.

[woeful violet]

what do i choose here

[storm patio]

tbf the new one is several years old now. it's just that the default was relatively recently changed

[broken rover]

Depends on your needs

[storm patio]

the one you want to use

[lapis gate]

Eh, new input does have globals for all keys even if you don't want to use any event bindings.

[woeful violet]

for what

[broken rover]

Do you understand what the code is asking for?

[lapis gate]

Only complaint is those globals are a little verbose vs keycodes

[modest meteor]

it's your script, you should know

[storm patio]

Ground Check
it's.. telling you right there...

[woeful violet]

lemme check

[broken rover]

WHat are immediate advantages with the new system anyway?

[lost garnet]

Ik, new input system is more flexible and customizable.
We can work with multiple device types very easily. We can even change the button button delay time.

[broken rover]

I found that setting it up is a bit complicated

[broken rover]

Ah

That answers my question lol

[storm patio]

flexibility comes with complexity, and the input system has a lot of flexibility

[lost garnet]

But as I said. In the beginning I don't need to think much about that

[broken rover]

Yes, of course, but most my games don't have cross compatibility anyway

[woeful violet]

okay my cylinder now walks but how do i attach main camera to it?

[broken rover]

Guessing it has other features too but I'm more attuned to the old one

[charred fog]

It can also take input in the same exact way too

[broken rover]

Many ways to do so

[woeful violet]

but what can i use

[charred fog]

Just less hassle to convert later.

[broken rover]

Again, depends on your needs

[lapis gate]

It removes polling keys every frame, which isn't that bad honestly, but event driven input does make code look clean

[storm patio]

can i plug in a controller and start rebinding stuff

[woeful violet]

well i need to make a first person game

[tall hearth]

Would recommend just looking into cinemachine gets the job done better than soem newbie would for the moest part

[woeful violet]

what

[modest meteor]

it still polls keys every frame though from what i've heard, even if you make it event driven

[tall hearth]

Cinemachine, as i said

[broken rover]

Bold of you to assume i ever published a polished game lmao

[broken rover]

!cinemachine

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called cinemachine.

[broken rover]

:((

[charred fog]

#🎥┃cinemachine

[woeful violet]

how do i get that cinemacine

[lapis gate]

Oh? I wouldn't doubt that honestly considering how I learnt animation controllers do poll states like crazy

[charred fog]

Check the pinned messages in that channel

[tall hearth]

Google

[woeful violet]

ok 👍

[storm patio]

this is.. a weird argument to make
"i don't need these fancy features because i don't make anything good"?

[broken rover]

Code doesnt handle that tho from what I guess

[tall hearth]

Surely discord isnt your only acess to everything online

[broken rover]

Not really an argument

I've made games but I have never really entirely finished one

Plus most games are intended to be on the pc exclusively. I can add controller compatibility, but why would I when I don't want people to play on the contorller?

[storm patio]

ok, can you rebind keys then

[broken rover]

(Most games I make)*

[broken rover]

Yes, true

[storm patio]

those were 2 separate points, i shouldve made that clearer initially

[broken rover]

Which if I publish one game one day and want people to use controller, I will

Fair enough

Most passion projects I've had died out midway which sucks

[woeful violet]

i dont understand

[abstract umbra]

damn, they added cool official tutorials for the cinemachine v3 half year after i was done making my cinemachine controller :\

[broken rover]

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

[woeful violet]

wait

but cant i just merge them

[broken rover]

Idk if cinemachine is needed here but it is considered the best solution imo

[broken rover]

Not considered good practice most of the time

[lost garnet]

And yeah, rebinding is also one of it's features

[broken rover]

Either way you need a script to handle camera rotation, movement, etc.

[lost garnet]

I don't use Cinemachine cuz I don't feel any need to but it is very good thing tho.

I all the cam rotation, movement and screenshake etc from scratch

[broken rover]

It's the most flexible and it's really easy to set up for stuff like FPS controllers

No code even required for the most basic of cases

Legit just a head gameobject, drag and drop, drag and drop

[woeful violet]

WHY CANT I MERGE THINGS

[broken rover]

I do that at times too

Just depends

I think cm is the most flexible

[broken rover]

Wdym?

[woeful violet]

i just want to merge things so they work normally

[storm patio]

"merge" is very vague

[broken rover]

What do you mean by "merge"

[abstract umbra]

which things?

[storm patio]

give some more info about what you're trying to do and what issue you're encountering please

[woeful violet]

like i want to connect them so they would be like one whole figure

[woeful violet]

cylinder and maincamera

[sacred sparrow]

put the main camera under the cylinder

[woeful violet]

i did it

[broken rover]

And?

[woeful violet]

but it didnt work

[sacred sparrow]

well, what didn't work

[abstract umbra]

what didnt work?

[broken rover]

What is "didn't work"

Did you get an error?

[woeful violet]

like nothing happened

camera was still

[sacred sparrow]

what should happen

[lost garnet]

I mean it is very easy and doesn't take much of lines to write the FPS/TPS move and rotate

[sacred sparrow]

and how are you even controlling the player

[woeful violet]

i mean i want it to be like a first person game so camera would be like eyes and cylinder is the body

[sacred sparrow]

do you have a controller at least?

[woeful violet]

yes cylinder works just fine

[sacred sparrow]

show the structure

[woeful violet]

here

[sacred sparrow]

i don't see any controller there

[broken rover]

Is... the movement script referencing the cylinder?

[abstract umbra]

your camera is not under cylinder

[woeful violet]

i mean i control it using wasd

[woeful violet]

lemme try

[sacred sparrow]

are you referencing the Player object

or the Cylinder object

[woeful violet]

yes

[sacred sparrow]

in this case you should reference the Player object

[broken rover]

😭😭

Make the movement script ref the player GameObject, not the cylinder

[sacred sparrow]

not the cylinder object

[broken rover]

We meant it's not a child of the cylinder :)

[sacred sparrow]

show us the cylinder object

[hazy lagoon]

hola

[sacred sparrow]

the inspector i mean...

[abstract umbra]

look into the hierarchy, you have a player game object which is empty, it has only transform, and then both cylinder and the camera are under the player, drag the camera under cylinder, not the player

[stuck flower]

merge what

[broken rover]

This tells us nothing lol

[woeful violet]

YEEEES

[stuck flower]

Oh, scroll locked

dangit

[woeful violet]

IT WORKS

YEEES

[sacred sparrow]

well, now fix it

[broken rover]

Congrats man 🙏🙏

[woeful violet]

its fixes

fixed

[sacred sparrow]

show us the inspector of the cylinder

[woeful violet]

thx

[sacred sparrow]

the Player object moves?

or only the Cylinder + the children

[woeful violet]

also guys i made a box that has gravity(boxcollider and rigidbody) and how do i make that it can be pushed

mass 0,1 doesnt work

[sacred sparrow]

make it kinematic

[woeful violet]

ok 👍

!kinematic

[vagrant root]

<:error:1413114584763596884> Command not found

There's no command called kinematic.

[woeful violet]

damn

[sacred sparrow]

huuh what

[woeful violet]

i cant find kinematic

[sacred sparrow]

it's literally a toggle

[woeful violet]

where

rigid body or box collider

[sacred sparrow]

in the rigidbody...

[woeful violet]

i cant find it

[stuck flower]

Why do you keep trying to use random bot commands that don't exist

If you want to search for something, that's why google exists

[woeful violet]

OH

[stuck flower]

The bot is not a search function

[woeful violet]

i turned on kinematic now it doesnt move

damn

its stuck in the air

[sacred sparrow]

btw @woeful violet

[woeful violet]

maybe i should change mass

[lost garnet]

And yeah, move the camera up again if you don't want the eyes to be under your feet

[woeful violet]

yes?

[modest meteor]

yeah that's what kinematic does

[stuck flower]

Do you know what Kinematic does

[sacred sparrow]

i’m not near my pc right now but i will as soon as i can

[cloud frost]

the scene like ..... an text node in godot but unlike godot!!!! unity gives u a huge canvus that is desynced with the text box ,its so dumb

[storm patio]

not sure what you mean by text node/text box there

the canvas is really big because it's in different units, specifically screenspace rather than worldspace

[stuck flower]

...what?

[cloud frost]

i set it to world space and still the actual text appears miles infront of the canvus

[stuck flower]

Did you position the text miles in front of the canvas

[cloud frost]

i was only moving the canvus apparent

i made the canvus smell

smaller

[stuck flower]

...what?

[abstract umbra]

are you talking about scene or canvas ?

[cloud frost]

......... bruh

like the canvas

[storm patio]

you're really not being very clear here tbh

what's the issue here exactly

[stuck flower]

If you want people to understand what you are saying, you could consider actually making sense when you type

[storm patio]

are you using the world or UI text components?

[abstract umbra]

also referring to another game engine is not very helpful, people dont know all game engines by default

[cloud frost]

ui

[cloud frost]

that isnt importent to the question.......i was literally comparing godot to unity

[storm patio]

what's the issue here exactly?

[cloud frost]

holy shit

[abstract umbra]

where'd you put a question mark here?

[cloud frost]

your slow

[stuck flower]

Their slow what? You need to finish your sentences. There's no verb here.

[cloud frost]

canvas too big, sized it down, text now appears miles infront of canvas

cant fix'

[stuck flower]

Is it a world space or a screen space canvas

[cloud frost]

ret4rded bitch

[potent geyser]

What's crazy is, I was literally just about to take a screenshot of what their issue was and how to fix it.

Oh, they got off lucky with me lol. Sorry Fog.

[stuck flower]

Honestly I'm tired of someone typing like that and implying it's somehow our fault they make no sense

So, when they're communicating so poorly I'm going to split hairs.

[storm patio]

making no sense, i agree. ive honestly seen you complain more about typos that are still readable though

it doesn't give you much credibility to complain about the obvious thing instead of commenting on the actual vague part, tbh

[sage basin]

I'd have gone with 7 days lol, what are we doing with ableist and gendered slurs in one post, truly

[storm patio]

i don't have authority over you of course, but just commenting what i feel

[abstract umbra]

people are supposed to ask for help, not demand it with insults

[stuck flower]

Sometimes when I ask about typos, it's mostly just to draw people's attention to them. Like "Where have you defined the class riggidbody" type stuff is meant to draw attention to the typo and give someone the "a-ha!" moment to fix their own problem. They're more likely to remember the solution that way.

In this case, though, it was pedantry.

[storm patio]

in those cases, sure i can get that, i just think it comes off as unnecessarily aggravating for those random typos, specifically when it's still readable

i make that kind of typo all the time. sometimes i don't notice it until i come back to the thread a day later.

pedantry over topics in discussion sure, but pedantry over grammar doesn't add anything to the attempted discussion

[sage basin]

Should have asked for a screenshot pretty much immediately

[storm patio]

i bring this up in the hopes of potentially less severe/rapid conflicts, since each time i see it, it just reads as you don't care about the actual question since you're focusing on that instead, and i think a new join/non-regular with less context would think that even more

[sage basin]

I agree generally that just replying with "what" is aggravating and unnecessary. Ask clarifying statements with info next time and maybe we can avoid the whole thing

[storm patio]

(not the point i was trying to make btw, im not sure i really have an opinion on that part)

[stuck flower]

I honestly could not make heads or tails of the word soup they were bringing up.

[storm patio]

so comment on that instead of a random typo, is what i'm trying to say

[stuck flower]

And when I could finally coalesce the thoughts into a question enough to ask a follow up I got called slurs

At which point my patience hit zero

[storm patio]

you got called slurs in response to a message where you acted oblivious to an obvious insult (which, i don't think are super related tbh. they were already at the stage of weird insults)

[sage basin]

Just slow down and think of a proper clarifying question instead of jumping on shit and reducing your patience

[abstract umbra]

the only thing i understood was "I did something to canvas and now its not working. Why its not like godot, i like godot"

[stuck flower]

If someone doesn't want to put in the effort to make their questions readable, I don't think we should spend the effort trying to guess what they mean

[storm patio]

does it really take effort to understand what "sworldspace" means

[stuck flower]

At that point I was just tired of trying to interpret messages like this which you also could not make sense of

[abstract umbra]

have anyone here ever reported a unity bug(whos currently here, reading the chat)? im not talking about complaining it here in discord but actually properly reporting it via unity website. Im curious if they usually ask a lot of questions, try to get mor explanation out of you because i reported it and nobody ever asked me anything and the bug got fixed

[tall hearth]

from what i gathered "the file" was the Assets folder of the project but it certainly was hard to understand just that

[storm patio]

why not just disengage then, instead of those pointless jabs at typos? that just makes the job harder for anyone else that's trying.

[stuck flower]

All I know is that they're very slow to respond to things. It's common to take months for even the slightest follow-up

[stuck flower]

Hopefully to convince someone to put in an iota of effort to type coherently even if out of spite

[abstract umbra]

in my case, they never responded, just accepted it and fixed it

[storm patio]

being a grammar nazi, for lack of a better term, doesn't convince anyone to put in more effort

[storm patio]

ive only done 2 bug reports and yeah there's not much followup. just a few status updates via email

[stuck flower]

Probably someone saw it and thought it was more effort to get someone on the support team to reach out than it would take to just fix the problem

[tall hearth]

-# not to but in but
neither would insulting someone make them want to help you with your problem

[abstract umbra]

how much is a few? i got probably like 20 emails if not more, my bug was changing statuses back and forth for like 3-6 months 😄

[storm patio]

i obviously don't agree with that. but de-escalation has to come from someone

both parties can be wrong in a conflict.

[storm patio]

i only got like, 2 each
one saying it got put on the bug tracker, another for the resolution

[fleet canopy]

they email pretty fast (1-2 days) when they need more clarification or resource

[storm patio]

the first was marked as duplicate for another report that was submitted after mine, idk what happened there
the second was marked as works as intended 4 months after it was confirmed

[abstract umbra]

well then probably it wasnt a bug if its marked works as intended? was the bug fixed for you personally ?

[storm patio]

it was weird behavior that apparently was not a bug

i suggest you read #📖┃code-of-conduct. it's a common courtesy

[abstract umbra]

I might not be a native english speaker but this Embrace the diversity of our community and refrain from alienating non-native English speakers. doesnt sound like english is the only language allowed in this server. Or am i wrong?

[modest meteor]

it says English speakers though

[fleet canopy]

English only but don’t make fun of people who aren’t I guess?

[craggy pollen]

but it also doesnt say you are allowed to speak in any other language

[pearl oyster]

It means don't make fun of people whose English skills aren't perfect

[balmy kettle]

#📖┃code-of-conduct does specifically say to provide an english translation if you post in another language which they didn't do

[fleet canopy]

but if they can’t read english then they wouldn’t have been able to read that part

[storm patio]

the channel is marked as a rule channel, it's put in your face when you join. it's kinda expected to actually read rules, no?
and if they don't know english, they could put that through machine translation so they actually read rules

[abstract umbra]

found it, thanks

[stuck flower]

Mostly because the moderators speak English and can't moderate the server if they can't read it.

[fleet canopy]

true, but you’ve probably seen that a lot of people break all sorts of rules, and a lot of people mostly assume the rules are “be nice” because every server usually is like that

[balmy kettle]

being ignorant of the rules doesn't magically mean they are allowed to break them. which is why the rules were pointed out to them

[frozen shore]

does anyone know why when i import my fbx into unity the textures are blue

[abstract umbra]

not sure what kind of blue, but maybe just wait a bit, it might be loading, happens to me too

[violet thunder]

Yeah cyan blue means the shader is still compiling in unity

If its not that then show a screenshot

Normal maps are supposed to be blue-ish in the preview

[frozen shore]

its not loading my texture just isnt showing up

[stuck flower]

Does the object actually have a texture assigned to it? Maybe something went wrong during import and the texture isn't associated with the material

[tall hearth]

blender materials (this includes textures) aren't imported into unity well (hardly at all) so the best bet (common practice) is to import the textures along side it and make the materials inside unity

[proper lantern]

Hi

I have mobile device and can you guys add a unity version please I always wanted to be a game developer 😫

[copper gust]

no

[potent geyser]

You can't use Unity on a mobile device (and no, it won't be possible to actually make that so)

[flat breach]

to make a normal mesh a probuilder mesh, does it just require probuilder meshfilter? or it works along with the probuilder shape component

[copper gust]

it requires you press the button in probuilder to convert it to a probuilder mesh

[hot topaz]

✔ It must have ProBuilderMesh
❌ It does NOT need ProBuilder Shape

[flat breach]

okay thankk you

[flat breach]

where is the button please?

ohh Probuilderize you mean?

[hot topaz]

Select your mesh
Go to Tools → ProBuilder → ProBuilderize
This will automatically add the ProBuilderMesh component.

[flat breach]

alright, thank you!

[hot topaz]

Welcome 🤗

is there any CRMP DEVELOPER?

[stuck flower]

CRMP?

[craggy pollen]

cant remember my password

[craggy pollen]

i want to know that now

[hot topaz]

CRMP BASED ON GTA CRIMINAL RUSSIA MULTIPLAYER

[stuck flower]

...what?

[potent geyser]

This is the Unity development server, you're in the wrong place.

[storm patio]

some commas would do that sentence wonders

[hot topaz]

I know about unity too I just ask that is there anyone who know

[potent geyser]

That is off topic for this server, so no, this isn't the place to ask.

[hot topaz]

Okk I will not

[proper rivet]

guys what term covers both players and npcs im having a moment

[potent geyser]

Characters?

[sacred sparrow]

entities?

[potent geyser]

Actors?

[proper rivet]

i feel like thats gonna cause me some issues naming a file that while using ecs lmao

[potent geyser]

If something at large scale, then probably a generic term like Unit then

[proper rivet]

yeah that works

[storm patio]

pcs and npcs have a word in common

[lament swift]

I recently upgraded my pc and for some reason my project just refuses to open now?

[proper rivet]

true

p l a y e r

im so smart

[potent geyser]

@candid dome If you're not a bot, then please keep whatever you first attempted to post, off this server. It was auto removed for a reason.

?ban 1226564717510918164 They were, in fact, a bot.

[novel scarab]

mandy_010426 was banned.

[sacred sparrow]

lol was it?

[lament swift]

i was reading it and it seemed like they were saying they were the one that got scammed

[sacred sparrow]

yeah

[lament swift]

but does anyone know what to do if your project doesn't open?

i upgraded my pc and now it just wont work

[proper rivet]

yeah that just reads like a moron

[lament swift]

tbh yeah

the account just looks sus alone

[sacred sparrow]

also, that varanus has no messages on this server

[stuck flower]

Yes

Definitely a bot

[sacred sparrow]

so it might be a bot too

[storm patio]

even if it's not a bot, it wouldn't be appropriate for this server

mmm the media mentioned there is nsfw. might want to remove that.

[abstract umbra]

and no error displayed as to why it wont open? nothing at all? logs are empty too? cant help with 0 info

[lament swift]

nothing

[sacred sparrow]

well, i think the pinged user (Varanus) should be checked too, no messages on this server

[lament swift]

i press on the project on unity hub, the bar does the loading thing and then nothing happens

[sacred sparrow]

check log

[lament swift]

wheres that

[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.

[sacred sparrow]

Hey, im stuck on this and im afraid to delete what the forums says. Do you have any ideas/confirmation on how to deal with reloading domain issue ? Thanks !

[storm patio]

checked for what

[sacred sparrow]

might be a bot too

[storm patio]

i'm telling you to remove the screenshot, because it's referring to nsfw media

[sacred sparrow]

kill the editor

it happens sometimes

[balmy kettle]

what does the forums say to delete? if it's the Library folder from within your project that's perfectly safe. but also reload domain time is affected by a number of things

[sacred sparrow]

i did btw

[abstract umbra]

is there a channel where can can freely test some commands?

[lament swift]

ahhh its the machine binding thing

how do i fix that

[storm patio]

there's no difference between a lurker, a bot, an abandoned account, a dead owner, that we can see. it won't really matter unless that user becomes disruptive

[sacred sparrow]

what?

[charred fog]

There's nothing to test, this is the list of commands. You can also use search feature to find them

[lament swift]

cause its a new pc

[sacred sparrow]

ah well, it tells you then

delete the old license file

and get a new one

[lament swift]

where would i find it?

[sacred sparrow]

idk about that, srry

google it

[storm patio]

found it in ~/Library/Unity/licenses/UnityEntitlementLicense.xml on mac, but i'm not quite sure what the equivalent for windows would be

might be able to google for it actually

[lament swift]

I renamed it and tried opening the project again and it just generated a new one

[storm patio]

close unity and the hub, remove the file, then reopen the hub

[lament swift]

same issue again

[abstract umbra]

maybe try this
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039435032-I-receive-a-Machine-Identification-Is-Invalid-For-Current-License-when-attempting-to-activate-my-license

[lament swift]

i got it nvm

[pine shell]

That's the thing it say's to do ! I will do it then, i hope it will be alright because singe this morning i dont stop getting this error 🙏

[pine shell]

Hey, so, i deleted the library folder and after playtesting my game, i got the "Reloading domain" issue again. That's very new and i dont know what causes it

[balmy kettle]

is it actually an issue? because domain reloading is a normal part of the import and compile process. it also normally happens on entering play mode. the length of time it takes depends on a number of factors, including the number of static variables that need to be reset

[gray frigate]

If it's jamming for two minutes, then that's a problem

That suggests that either:

• you have a wild amount of code in your game (unlikely)
• something is slowing the domain reload down more than it ought to

[late harness]

can someone help me? im currently trying to use Unity but not only i can't use core 2D but it also tells me this

[sacred sparrow]

we told you to move your project out of there

[late harness]

how? how do i do that? good job telling me this but where the heck do i put it? from where i take it? just telling me use copy and paste is useless if i don't even know where

[sacred sparrow]

well, it tells you where it is

[gray frigate]

i don't see why you couldn't put a project in your home directory

was there some more context to this?

[sacred sparrow]

ad just create a new folder on that drive or another

[sacred sparrow]

onedrive stuff prob

[gray frigate]

oh, that's possible, assuming the entire user directory is controlled by it

[late harness]

i did. i made a new folder nothing changed

[vivid cedar]

is your home folder in OneDrive?

[violet thunder]

Honestly I've had wild amounts of code on a bad machine and the compile time was always 5-15 seconds. Does it really go higher than that for people?
Every time the reload has taken long it was actually caused by all the other stuff unity has to do on domain reload

[sacred sparrow]

an you try to close unity, and nuke the Library folder?

[violet thunder]

Like calling OnEnable on some scriptableobjects in a resource folder or whatever

Which ended up calling more code

[worldly cave]

i cant remember where i read it, but the facepunch guys said they have to wait several minutes at a time for rust to compile

[late harness]

uh? i don't understand

[copper gust]

doesn't onenable pop regardless of resources? or am i thinking of awake

[sacred sparrow]

go in the project folder

and delete the Library folder

[violet thunder]

I dont remember exactly but something like that

[violet thunder]

I believe that but it could be a lot of other things happening than just compilation

[worldly cave]

Well Rust is also just gigantic
