[worldly cave]

thats why s&box has hotreload

[late harness]

i can't find it

[sacred sparrow]

wdym you can't

show the folders you see

[late harness]

i don't know where it is

[worldly cave]

your project folder

[sacred sparrow]

in your project folder

[worldly cave]

in your project folder....

the folder of your unity project

[sacred sparrow]

bruh, it literally tells you even on the error...

[worldly cave]

cmon man youre not even trying atp

You also just doxxed your own full legal name

[sacred sparrow]

tbh it's a somewhat common name here in Italy

[worldly cave]

i think it more so speaks to the carelessness of kids these days on the internet

the concept of online safety is somehow being undone in front of our own eyes

[violet thunder]

Open unity hub, click the ... next to a project -> Show in explorer

[worldly cave]

I think its a bit weird to read that much into it

[subtle mortar]

hi everyone, I'm having issues with editor performance, I get fps drops even after optimizing everything, I don't really understand why... My pc isn't crazy good but should handle a couple of animators and skinned meshes, I added caching to almost every script yet the fps still drops. I read it could be heating protection or throttling, gernerally hardware issues. Any suggestions? ty

[sacred sparrow]

nah, it's just the few files that i saw the first time

lol

anyway, back on topic

[violet thunder]

Use the Profiler to identify what is causing the frame drops

[copper gust]

editor will always have some amount of drops, look into profiling and see if it happens in build

[sacred sparrow]

if you read the error it tells you the path @late harness

[violet thunder]

That's the main tool for optimization

Sometimes just having a window open (like Animator) can make the editor chug like crazy

[worldly cave]

what are your pc specs?

a lot of people underestimate just how costly some things can get on weaker rigs

[sacred sparrow]

do you have your inspector open while playing?

[worldly cave]

like multiple animators for example

[subtle mortar]

yeah it's also in the build;
what should I do once I get the profiler key?

[subtle mortar]

yes.

[sacred sparrow]

and that's a problem XD

it def is

[copper gust]

they just said it happens in build

[sacred sparrow]

ah wait, i missed that

[copper gust]

you use the profiler to figure out what is doing stuff the most

and you look into how not to do that thing as much

[worldly cave]

Im still wondering exactly what the specs are

[sacred sparrow]

yeah, knowing specs will help a bit

[latent meadow]

also, ensure you have the Editor closed when running the build. as mentioned though, use the Profiler.

[subtle mortar]

CPU @ 2.50GHz
RAM 16,0 GB
GTX 1650 Ti

[sacred sparrow]

cpu what

[subtle mortar]

intel core i5

[sacred sparrow]

which one

[worldly cave]

well its an ok rig, a bit dated but it certainly points to some other issues then

like the others said

use the profiler

[sacred sparrow]

nah gtx 1650 is good XD

i still use my trusty 2070 super

lol

[copper gust]

a 7 year old entry gpu is dated

[subtle mortar]

yeah, the problem is that i can't really reproduce the error... I'll come back once i have more info, ty y'all :3

[sacred sparrow]

btw, it tells you the model here

for the cpu

[worldly cave]

well i dont understand is it an error or a persistent issue?

[subtle mortar]

wait why is it italian??

[sacred sparrow]

bc i am italian

lol

[subtle mortar]

no, it's not persistent

[worldly cave]

Then keep the profiler running

[subtle mortar]

fratello / sorella

[violet thunder]

Do you know what kind of game they are even making 🤔

[worldly cave]

also keep this place english only please

[subtle mortar]

sorry

[worldly cave]

they mentioned multiple animators and skinned meshes

[copper gust]

I wasn't judging or anything

[worldly cave]

so its almost entirely a 3d game of some kind

[tall hearth]

my gtx 1080 wouldn't like these words 🥀

[pine shell]

I think it is, i only have a small game and after 5 minutes, the bar still hasnt updated..

[violet thunder]

Nah not that, I just think people's standards are a bit too high for hardware, unless we are making some high end graphics stuff

[copper gust]

oh yeah it should be fine

[sly lake]

Good enough for Unity.

[subtle mortar]

it's a 3D prototype, but I kept everything minimal, no shaders, basic lit materials, 99% of the time I'm at 200 fps stable

that made me think of hardware protection

[worldly cave]

Well keep the profiler running until it happens again

[tall hearth]

i cant unity, nearly 40k batches with only 7k objects ~_~

[violet thunder]

I think that window just straight up lies to you

Unless you are using built in RP

Are you?

[latent meadow]

yeah, that's a real grass hole too

[copper gust]

check the rendering debugger or whatever

[tall hearth]

nope

[copper gust]

could be unordered materials breaking batches?

[sly lake]

7000 objects is too much to draw without batching / GPU resident drawer

[copper gust]

eg. if you have multiple types of shaders being used there try explicitly setting their render priority in the materials

[tall hearth]

yeah idk how to do this ~_~

[tall hearth]

sorry where's this, nvm found it

[copper gust]

i forgor

[violet thunder]

22k shadow casters sounds pretty nasty too

[tall hearth]

it doesnt have a batches count

[copper gust]

one sec

frame debugger sorry

yours should probably have a real reason but check why your batch gets split here

[copper gust]

yeah first one will be that

check next

[copper gust]

ok cool yeah, if you have a couple of predominant shaders (eg. a standard lit material and a standard transparent lit material), check if that list is doing them in an order like

Lit
Transparent
Lit
Transparent

etc.

[tall hearth]

used shader does cycle between the Grass Shader and the Universial Render Pipeline/Lit every SRP Batch here yes

[tall hearth]

though that and the light mode, pass are the only things i noticed that changed

[copper gust]

yeah so batcher iterates through all the requests and if it receives something with the shader the last thing had, it can re-use the work its done in order to process it (what a batch is). one partial issue you might have here is that your order is unideal because your going A > B > A > B > A when ideally you'd want A > A > A > A > B > B > B

at the bottom of materials theres a manual rendering order value you can set which can force the batching to process them in that order

try setting the grass explicitly higher or something and see if it helps at all

this wont be a magic bullet or anything but it's one of the ways you can get batches down

[tall hearth]

this unfortunately changed nothing

is there a way in code i can tell the gpu to draw every mesh at once instead of individually?

[copper gust]

yeeeee

[tall hearth]

as the ground isnt a single plane it's a bunch of cubes

[copper gust]

i can't run you through it 1:1 rn but i can find the script i'm using which might be an ok lead

im also doing grass stuff 😛

[tall hearth]

this is quite the lovely view

since you didn't ask, i'm making a isometric factory game. Got the idea after spending 100 hours playing Endfield

[copper gust]

oo nice

i haven't cleaned this up at all but the core thing this uses unity wise is Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced
https://gist.github.com/IAmBatby/79e40c644c22818507d8d2449bd63a9f

you give it a mesh, material, array of matrix4x4's (trans,rot,scales)

and it renders them in bulk

my games unlit so i skip the cost of shadows but it does a solid job spamming the hell out of grass meshes

40-50k in the scr

[tall hearth]

wow much better than just spawning the mesh down and hoping it isnt too much

[copper gust]

yessir

[tall hearth]

sorry just so i know where do i get a matrix from? or well how do i make one?

[copper gust]

In DetailManager, you can use Matrix4x4.TRS(pos, Quaternion.Euler(rot), sca)

[tall hearth]

oh ok i see

[copper gust]

you'll have to figure out what the pos rot and scale should be which i imagine you can obtain from however your currently spawning them

[tall hearth]

yeah not teh great of a way currently, since the world is meant to be procedural and dynamic i just tell it on every time the cell gets enabled to randomly pick a node of 3 grass meshes enable it and give it a random rotation

for (int i = 0; i < transform.childCount; i++)
{
  transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
var Random = new System.Random();
int Index = Random.Next(-1, transform.childCount);
if (Index == -1)
  return;
var Node = transform.GetChild(Index).gameObject;
Node.SetActive(true);
float RandomRot = Random.Next(0, 361);
Node.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, RandomRot, 0));

[gleaming basalt]

hello guys how to install polybrush cant find it in the package manager

[copper gust]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/rip-polybrush/1680225

[gleaming basalt]

🙁

[latent meadow]

not sure you can get it to work in Unity 6.3, but i thought i had it working in 6.0
Open your Unity 6 project.
Go to Window > Package Manager.
In the top-left corner of the Package Manager window, click the + (plus) icon.
Select Add package by name....
Enter com.unity.polybrush in the text field.
Click Add

[gleaming basalt]

what would be the best way to add a grass to this terrain i created with code I have a gress prefab but its a plane

[worldly cave]

Whats the scale here

[plush hound]

i checked now and im still confused- do you mind if i dm you please?

[copper gust]

is a vr avatar a vr chat thing

[gray frigate]

i mean, you can certainly create 3D avatars for other platforms

[forest otter]

What's with HDRP being back in the new project window? Did Unity backtrack on the Simplified Pipeline?

[copper gust]

don't think it ever left?

[latent meadow]

the whole pipeline change, whatever it may end up being, has not occurred yet.

[forest otter]

Oh I could have sworn HDRP left for a bit

[latent meadow]

Not that i am aware of. perhaps just shifted places on the list

[jagged sage]

Is it true that its better making your model cycle through the specific keyframe models instead of it being an actuall animation

[worldly cave]

its cheaper than having an animator sure

but also its not strictly better

or really useful in a majority of the situations where you have a lot of animations

besides ive only ever seen your example be used in a situation where you have hundreds of similar entities with very simple animations

[gray frigate]

this is useful if you need to draw a lot of models doing basic, non-blended animations

like, hundreds of little dudes running around

you're pre-computing every possible pose

[jagged sage]

I see

someone can recommend a grass for terrains in unity store

for hdrp

[dusky forum]

I don't think this server has a channel for this kind of question (suggestions/recommendations on assets etc). You could probably try the forums or other Unity discord servers.

[gleaming basalt]

thanks sorry if it doesnt fit the channel

You have access to the same store and search options as everyone else here, see what's available.

Read the reviews, watch a video on the asset, make an informed decision.

[chilly talon]

So i dont know where to put this and i have looked up on ways to fix it but its not showing add modules on my unity hub when i click on the editor on any of my editors on unity and im trying to add the android module so i can upload a quest avatar

[dusky forum]

Were you following some guide?

[chilly talon]

yes on the vrchat website

[tall hearth]

hmm something doesnt feel right (context, added mesh instances which dropped the batches from ~40k to the ~450 but the fps ended up getting worse, and the "saved" amount became a factor more than without it)

[copper gust]

use profiler to triple check whats actually happening

make sure however your processing your mesh instances isn't doing anything expensive either (since that process is going to be running a fuckton at that scale + per frame)

[tall hearth]

uh it's empty

[copper gust]

thats frame debugger

you gotta check profiler proper

[tall hearth]

which one ~_~

[small ginkgo]

Yall ever see a PR like this

[tall hearth]

oh i see, though last time i checked the frame debugger it wasnt empty any reason why this time it ended up like that?

[latent meadow]

https://unity.com/resources/ultimate-guide-to-profiling-unity-games

[copper gust]

empty results when we send them through meshinstanced

[tall hearth]

dw i know (for the most part) how to use it

for the most part seems to be a call unrelated to the instanced drawing

[copper gust]

yuuup

at this scale you really gotta care about what your doing

[tall hearth]

do have one with 2MB of gc

this is from me making a List from a dictionary

i assume it doesnt like that i just throw it away right after

[copper gust]

i mean yeah you shouldn't

[tall hearth]

well it wants it in a list and i have it stored in a dictionary so it's easy to remove matrices from it

[earnest edge]

anyone know how to fix this

unity hub is blakc screen

[copper gust]

nope

[tall hearth]

open task manager and force close it, maybe?

[copper gust]

whats the key in that

[tall hearth]

Vector3 Position of the Matrix

[copper gust]

why does that need to be a key

[tall hearth]

so i can remove the Matrix easily

the world is dynamic so if the player moves out of range of some grass i dont want it to draw

[earnest edge]

i tried it doesn't work

[tall hearth]

have you tried other things like reinstalling it or restarting your pc?

[earnest edge]

yes

[tall hearth]

no clue then, what os is this?

[earnest edge]

how my expose to know what

os it is

[tall hearth]

i'll assume windows then, yeah sorry no clue

[earnest edge]

alright well then thanks

[tall hearth]

sorry just to check but a try catch would be faster than an if checking if the Dictionary contains a key then fetching it right?

[copper gust]

i don't know

that seems like a very cooked option

[balmy kettle]

pretty sure try/catch will be faster, provided it always has the key and never throws an exception. in that case the if statement will absolutely be faster

[copper gust]

it sounds shit of me but for this kinda thing you just need to kinda make whatever you've got better

[balmy kettle]

throwing an exception at all is going to perform worse than a simple if statement

[tall hearth]

fair though the "simple if" seems to doubles the complexity

also forgive my ignorance but isnt the catch part mean to be what combats the exceptions?

[copper gust]

the getitem cost here isn't the problem to solve

[balmy kettle]

doubles the complexity how? like readability? it's certainly better than a try/catch for readability because it's explicit about why it is there

also TryGetValue exists too so you can get the value and check the key all in one line

[copper gust]

either this shouldn't be a dictionary like how it is, and/or this shouldn't be checked every frame

this is a complex thing your writing

[tall hearth]

it isnt even every frame 😭

[balmy kettle]

accessing the dictionary with an invalid key still throws an exception. you just also happen to be catching it to do whatever. it doesn't magically make no exception happen

[copper gust]

when is it

[tall hearth]

every 3

[copper gust]

even that is a lot

[tall hearth]

well it needs to happen often enough else the ground wont update

[copper gust]

sure

but it's still a lot

also, just a guess but what grass your checking could probably be refactored quite a few times to narrow down what actually matters

how much of this grass that your checking could have changed since last time?

[tall hearth]

not just grass that's instanced ~_~ also the ground terrain

[balmy kettle]

also unrelated to the current line of questioning, but if you're going to just allocate a new list each time anyway, then just call ToList() on the dictionary.Values instead of looping through the dictionary just to add the values to a new list.
or if you want to reduce allocations you should be reusing the same list and just clearing it or whatever each time you are done with it

[copper gust]

i dont see how this changes what i said

[tall hearth]

yeah i did find this from google and change this
MatricesList = Matrices.Values.ToList<Matrix4x4>();

[copper gust]

in general you can avoid recreating this if you smarten the data up and re-use arrays

meshinstanced can take an array + a max count

[tall hearth]

are arrays cheaper?

[copper gust]

they are cheaper in the sense that you wouldn't be constantly needing to make new ones

ideally you'd just be re-filling the contents of them

[half trench]

Im looking for someone that can make VFX in unity for my RNG type game. I wont go into detail, but if you are intrested, DM ME!

[copper gust]

you'd only be adding and removing arrays when your current instance count surpasses or drops below the 1024 count

[chrome scaffold]

Guys i am trying to make the beams left by lights in a disco party with cylinders but i want to make it so you can have the cylinder partially pass through other meshes to replicate how lights can be half on you and half on the ground if you understand what i mean. i am not good with shaders so i am doing this with copilot but its actually pissing me off. any ideas i can do here or maybe anyone know what i should search/ maybe say to copilot?

[dusky forum]

do have one with 2MB of gc
Not entirely certain but given your current shown code, I'd suggest constructing the list with an initial capacity (to avoid creating a new list with every addition)cs ... MatricesList = new List<...>(...Count);

[tall hearth]

did have it at this MatricesList = Matrices.Values.ToList<Matrix4x4>(); though IAmBatby had suggested i change it to an array that i just iterate over past data with instead of making a new one each time only problem i have is i dont have a fixed size to use as the count or even an esitimate for this size

[dusky forum]

A list and array would behave similar. You'd simply need to avoid creating new instances.

[copper gust]

if you don't have a count you need to construct your data and logic in a way to get a count

[winged jewel]

dont use AI, try and learn it yourself so you can bettet troubleshoot and make your own things.

do you have an image of the effect you are trying to replicate? wouldnt a additive shader work on a cylindrical mesh in this scenario?

[chrome scaffold]

i don t really have time to learn shaders i am still struggling with 3D models. i don t have an image no its in my head. just think of a light beam where half of the beam is hitting lets say a cube and the other half freely continues on its way to the ground.

[dusky forum]

Should probably consider not having to convert the Matrices. Why isn't it a list or array to begin with?

[tall hearth]

ah guess you did ask for the whole code sorry

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using UnityEngine;

public class MeshGroup
{
    public Mesh Mesh;
    public Material Material;
    Dictionary<Vector3, Matrix4x4> Matrices = new Dictionary<Vector3, Matrix4x4>();

    public MeshGroup(Mesh Mesh, Material Material)
    {
        this.Mesh = Mesh;
        this.Material = Material;
    }
    public void AddMeshData(Vector3 Pos, Vector3 Rot, Vector3 Scale)
    {
        var Matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(Pos, Quaternion.Euler(Rot), Scale);
        Matrices.Add(Pos, Matrix);
    }
    public void RemoveMeshData(Vector3 Pos)
    {
        if (Matrices.ContainsKey(Pos))
        {
            Matrices.Remove(Pos);
        }
    }
    public bool HasData()
    {
        if (Matrices != null && Matrices.Count > 0)
            return true;
        return false;
    }
    List<Matrix4x4> MatricesList;
    public void Draw()
    {
        if (!HasData())
            return;
        MatricesList = Matrices.Values.ToList<Matrix4x4>();
        Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced(Mesh, 0, Material, MatricesList);
    }
}

the why is i wish to be able to remove Matrices from the position

[copper gust]

then come back when you have time to learn shaders

[dusky forum]

Perhaps avoid the dictionary by using a multidimensional array wait.. that defeats the purpose. Have a single array and manage the data in a way that you would be able to use it like a multidimensional array

[chrome scaffold]

man my whole game literally needs 1 shader it can t be that deep

[copper gust]

i mean its not that deep

if you wanna learn something you need to learn it

[chrome scaffold]

i don t wanna say i don t wanna learn them but right now i just wanna get my game ready

[copper gust]

it sounds like getting your game ready involves learning them?

we can point you in the right direction but you will need to learn shaders to make a shader

[balmy kettle]

it sounds like you're trying to recreate volumetric lighting, that isn't really all that simple. you might want to consider just buying an asset that implements it for you if you can't be bothered to actually research and learn how to do it yourself

[tall hearth]

i mean the other way i was thinking was having the place that called AddMeshData get an int returned that's the index of the Data in the MatricesList to remove that one later, but how does Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced(Mesh, 0, Material, MatricesList); handle a null Matrix?

[copper gust]

probably poorly

[violet thunder]

One way to do this is to have a Dictionary<Vector3, int> instead and the int would be an index pointing to the item in a separate List or array of matrices, which you could directly use instead of converting from dictionary

[tall hearth]

this could also work yeah

[tall hearth]

nvm cant even be nulled (i assume cause it's a struct?)

what's the data of a new Matrix4x4? just all 0?

[violet thunder]

How often/when do you add or remove matrices?

[tall hearth]

quite often maybe a few hundred to a few thousand a frame it depends on how fast the user moves

or 0 if not moving (few thousand might be a way overstatement)

[violet thunder]

You add/remove them based on distance or something?

[tall hearth]

yeah

[chrome scaffold]

I see you are right. what i am making is a party scene for my main menu where there are spot lights moving from the wall. my question would i guess be do you think the gpu stretch would be really big for a main menu screen and i stick to my old aproach of raycasting and on hit just change the beam size and position to simulate it stopping?

for abilities system yall is scriptable object is the proper approuch?

[tall hearth]

so after spending awhile trying to figure out why i kept getting an ArgumentOutOfRangeException: error i finally realized my dumb mistake

i was using a list and using Remove when removing the Matrix but this readjusts the whole lists Indices so when the Ground pointed to one object it'll point to another after removing some other object

hello

how i fix

[tall hearth]

double click the "project" text

[broken quiver]

Has anyone used Player input to operate the camera? or you just use a script and assign it to the camera

[copper gust]

why is editorcoroutines a whole ass package man 😭

[fleet canopy]

? you'd get the player input from within a script that's assigned to a camera

[broken quiver]

I mean if you use this, or just create a script and assign it to the camera's gameobject.

[fleet canopy]

you have to access thar from a script

[gray frigate]

This just defines:

• An action called "Camera"
  • A binding for that action that uses mouse movement

It doesn't do anything by itself

[broken quiver]

I know, in both cases a script is used.
I am asking that because the way with Player Input that binds the action of moving the mouse did not seem to work for me.
In case someone did it that way, know what the problem could be (maybe it's a silly mistake)

[cursive mural]

Hi can someone help me. I can't create a Project in Unity 2019.4.4.0f1 on CachyOS

[fleet canopy]

maybe you did it wrong? try sharing your code here

also the method that did work is liekly the Old input system which isn't really recommended

[broken quiver]

Sure, I simply print a text via console to see if it runs, and it doesn't run

[fleet canopy]

your function there will overshadow the default Camera classname so will definitely not work i think

correct me if im wrong

[broken quiver]

Give me a minute I'll try it

[fleet canopy]

you can access the input action in another way as well enntirely in code

private InputAction lookAction;
private float mouseSens;

void Start() {
    lookAction = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("Look");
}

void Update() {
    Vector2 lookInput = lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();

    float inputY = lookInput.y * mouseSens;
    float inputX = lookInput.x * mouseSens;
}

[broken quiver]

No, it still doesn't work.

[fleet canopy]

try what i sent above

i'll be honest, i've never seen someone try use the input actions that way, but maybe it's completely valid

[broken quiver]

Give me a minute I'll try it

[broken quiver]

how strange, it's giving me back (0,0)

[sudden cliff]

why is making stylized grass so intimidating 💔 im a beginner

[broken quiver]

but it exist

[cursive mural]

Hi may I get some help

[dusky forum]

Is mouse sense 0?

[cursive mural]

I can create Projects in Unity Hub on Linux

Someone please give me some help

[copper gust]

have you tried newer unity versions

[cursive mural]

I'm trying to create maps for Derail Valley which require version 2019.4.4.0f1

[copper gust]

1. we can't really help with modding stuff because it's usually niche like this
2. it's very possible that version of unity just doesn't work on that os

[cursive mural]

I don't need help with modding, I just need you to help me with getting my Project created.
And yes, Unity does indeed work on CachyOS. The Linux distro I'm using

[copper gust]

Unity works, but Unity 2019.4.4.0f1 might not

[broken quiver]

sorry for being late, I went to do something.
And no, I defined it at 1 to the mouseSens. It's very strange that it doesn't work, could it be that I put something wrong in the Actions?

[dusky forum]

I think that was mentioned by Fen some time ago #💻┃unity-talk message

[broken quiver]

but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Actions, so I don't understand either

[broken quiver]

I know. That's what I did

[dusky forum]

Does any other input work?

[solemn torrent]

Sometimes when dealing with prefabs Unity tends to slowdown a loot I have the Editor logs but its 30 MB can I post the file here? maybe someone can see something I dont?

[broken quiver]

yes, the WASD of Move action

[broken quiver]

Here.
But the mouse does seem to work, because it returns the action, it's just always returning (0, 0), which is strange.

[dusky forum]

Not sure, I can't reproduce the issue given the below: ```cs
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private InputAction inputAction;
void Start()
{
inputAction = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("Player/Look");
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    Debug.Log($"{inputAction.ReadValue<Vector2>()}");
}

}```

I was moving the mouse in the scene view (and not the game view...) but the value changing does indicate that with the above setup, it did detect the mouse delta.

[broken quiver]

Did you add a Player Input component to the camera, or just the script? To try to replicate it in a new project from scratch to see if it works.

[dusky forum]

I simply created a MonoBehaviour script named Example and attached it to the camera object. The scene is the generic empty scene with a sole camera and directional light. The input action maps are the default with this project.

[broken quiver]

Ok, I replicate it in my project, and then in a new project, in my project it doesn't work, but in a new project it does work, maybe at some point I touch some configuration or thing. But I see that it does work, thanks for your time 👌

[broken quiver]

I still can't do what I want
I downloaded OBS to show it better.

Video explanation:
I have a ** Camera script**, the only thing it does is that when the mouse moves, it prints the test message through the console.
I assign the ** Camera script** to the ** Main Camera GameObject**, since it makes sense that the script is inside the GameObject that is going to be modified/controlled.

Then we have the GameObject Player , which has a ** Player Input component, with the Behavior set to Envoke Unity Events.
In Events -> Player -> Look (CallbackContext), we pass the GameObject reference Main Camera and tell it to associate the ** Camera.Look function with the ** Look (CallbackContext) event.**

Finally, I simply run the applications and move the mouse to see if Debug.Log("test") appears at the bottom left, but for some reason it does not appear.

I feel like what I did makes sense, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

[ocean pumice]

Is it correct, that your camera field is empty in your player script?

[ocean pumice]

Also your input debug log on your player script says Keyboard, nothing about mouse. Have not used playerinput yet, but not sure if that sounds right

thanks mods 😄

[broken quiver]

I had read on the internet that this has no effect unless it is local multiplayer, so for a single player it does not affect anything. I also tried putting the camera there just in case, and it didn't work

[broken quiver]

at what minute of the video that appear, maybe that could be the problem

[ocean pumice]

second 36

can you show your input asset? Are you sure, the look is actually enabled and triggered

[broken quiver]

can you give me a screenshot, I look blind haha

[ocean pumice]

Inspector of your player input, there is a readonly/greyed out text with headiner Events, below your events list 😄

[ocean pumice]

But I guess your mouse look input is inside of the keyboard scheme

[broken quiver]

Damn, I really had a hard time seeing that.
You're right, I had added a Keyboard to test, but I didn't put the Mouse on it, I thought that if I put "Any" in default map, it would take the any control, that is, all of them, not that it would take the Keyboard schema, and I didn't realize that it I took it because the text that Keyboard said (the one in the image you gave me) was too gray and I didn't notice it. I just renamed KeyBoardMouse, and added the Mouse device, and it works.

Thanks Joer, now it works the way I wanted without any problem.

the only reason i cant do shit about tree destroying is that issue

[fluid jay]

Im learning strategy pattern for my card game

[sacred sparrow]

guys, can i change the keybind to move around in the shadergraph or visual scripting?

[ebon sigil]

hello , i cant download the setup

[sacred sparrow]

huh?

[ebon sigil]

yeah ,so weird. can you try it?

[sacred sparrow]

i can

[ocean pumice]

what setup? Unity, Unity Hub?

[ebon sigil]

yep

[sacred sparrow]

also, that is way too vague, pls explain better

[sacred sparrow]

yep what...

[ocean pumice]

... that effort

[ebon sigil]

i open the unity website , i clicked on download for windows , it took me to the download page , download didn't start so i clicked on the manual download button , and then after a long while i got the "this page is inaccessible error"

[sacred sparrow]

well, try another browser

[ebon sigil]

i did this for brave and opera

same result

[ocean pumice]

so this is not working? https://public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com/hub/prod/UnityHubSetup-x64.exe?ampDeviceId=dacb9f9b-ddc8-41d9-8392-158c7d162ac8&ampSessionId=1772185045671&ampTimestamp=1772272301440

[ebon sigil]

yes i tried it again now and still nothing

[copper gust]

maybe try chrome or firefox

[sacred sparrow]

or try to connect via VPN

[ebon sigil]

i will try both methods okay

[ebon sigil]

vpn and firefox both failed , changed to another isp and the download started. now inside the hub , i tried downloading the latest lts version 6000.3.10f1 and the editor application validation failed along with the openjdk and the android build support

[sacred sparrow]

wdym changed to another isp?

[ocean pumice]

Sounds like a specific your setup issue rather something we could help here. If your isp, whoever that is, blocks specific cdn or similar, not much we can do.

[ebon sigil]

used another internet service provider

[ebon sigil]

it's okay thank you

[gleaming basalt]

fps goes brrrr

[sacred sparrow]

and that's where optimizationc comes in, lol

[gleaming basalt]

real hahha

[sacred sparrow]

rn i'm still trying to fix this thing

using custom shaders for it

and it doesn't render in the game view...

[gleaming basalt]

try google antigravity

if everything else fails

[sacred sparrow]

no thx

[gleaming basalt]

is it hdrp

shader

[sacred sparrow]

urp

with shader graphs

[gleaming basalt]

ah ok idk about that sry

[ocean pumice]

Its an UI element in a canvas?

[sacred sparrow]

yes

an Image

i tried with sprites too

but sprites didn't even render

[ocean pumice]

Your shader most likely is lit setup, right?

[sacred sparrow]

unlit

[ocean pumice]

You gotta use the textures information in your shader to get the correct alpha values if it differs from a default UI shader

[sacred sparrow]

but why it renders in the scene view then

[ocean pumice]

maybe you can show your entire shader

[sacred sparrow]

it's big XD

here the file if you want

[ocean pumice]

What do you tie your stuff in? You are missing the mapping from the main texture of you rimage component

[sacred sparrow]

i don't need that, i think

[ocean pumice]

Okay, if you think that

[sacred sparrow]

rn it should just show a color

as it does in the scene view

[ocean pumice]

But didnt you show an image with a sprite?

[sacred sparrow]

it works even without a sprite

[ocean pumice]

is it screenspace or world space?

[sacred sparrow]

like i am doing now

[sacred sparrow]

i think screen

[ocean pumice]

you think!? you set it up, read the inspector... also missing sprite is not the best way to set up an image comp. at least remove it setting to none

[sacred sparrow]

well, if screen space means the canvas transform then yes

[ocean pumice]

... canvas inspector, the canvas component of your root UI gameobject.

[sacred sparrow]

oh wait, yeah

screen space

[ocean pumice]

Do you get any errors when using the shader in your image? Anything in the console?

[sacred sparrow]

nope

[ocean pumice]

I still would try to add the MainTex property to your properties list and feed it combined with your current shader

[sacred sparrow]

well, it's there

just not using it

[ocean pumice]

I am quite sure, it still needs the information, even if there is no texture to correctly render the UI image

[sacred sparrow]

seems like the texture should be sent to Base Color

where i'm sending my own color anyway

[ocean pumice]

I also think you are tied to alpha clip on UI shaders

[sacred sparrow]

oh wait

enabling alpha clipping did something

tho it's not the right color

fixed

seems like it needed to be Sprite unlit + alpha clipping

[ocean pumice]

you might wanna check this out, as it describes the issue with vertex colors and shader graph not acutally supporting UI shaders. there are specific UI shader graphcs for the UIToolkit, but not legacy canvas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY3aHVDBAno

[sacred sparrow]

yeah i had to use sprite unlit

[weak robin]

Hi

[sacred sparrow]

hi

[open valley]

question: why when i press 'play' then 'stop' unity auto-selects me stuff from project window? and unfocus my current selections? is there a fix

[deft rock]

Are you on a version of 6.3 ?

[open valley]

yes

[deft rock]

Which on specifically

[deft rock]

Latest is 6.3.10 , try updating

[tall hearth]

this why my unity makes me select some other object then going back if i start runtime?

[deft rock]

Yes, I've only seen people reporting this issue in 6.3. Though I haven't noted which version of 6.3 each time.

[tall hearth]

yeah inspector gives me one of these every time quite annoying

[warped swallow]

may i ask is there a guide for UI responsive for Phone and Tablets? been looking one

[near wigeon]

https://unity.com/resources/user-interface-design-and-implementation-in-unity
not mobile specific but probably has good tips on that

[warped swallow]

thank you

[keen wraith]

what do i do if audiosource does not react to triggers colliding at all?

[near wigeon]

debug

[vivid cedar]

Your code or scene setup is the issue not the audio source

[near wigeon]

and off chance you muted the tab

[keen wraith]

the cube 1 for example has tag "axe", фnd the tree has that script and the collider

also console does not give any fuck if you excuse my language

[vivid cedar]

What does "console does not give any fuck" mean?

[keen wraith]

excuse me for my poor explanation

[near wigeon]

debugging something doesn't always mean using the console, its a process

[keen wraith]

it does not show ANY errors

[keen wraith]

oh, okay, ill note that thank you

[near wigeon]

are the colliders setup correct, rigidbodies present, etc..

[vivid cedar]

That would only happen if an exception is being thrown. You'd need to add Log statements for your code for it to print useful information here

[keen wraith]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Tree : MonoBehaviour
{
    int hp = 5;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Axe"))
        {
            hp = hp - 1;

            AudioSource destroySound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
            destroySound.Play();

            if (hp == 0)
            {
                Destroy(gameObject, destroySound.clip.length);
            }
        }
    }
}

[vivid cedar]

Is this a 2D or 3D game

[keen wraith]

3d

[vivid cedar]

Ok yeah you need to make sure all the components on all the objects involved are correct

[keen wraith]

VR with SteamVR based player, if being specific

[near wigeon]

like praetor said

You'd need to add Log statements for your code for it to print useful information here

[vivid cedar]

My guess is you probably don't have a Rigidbody on the axe

[keen wraith]

gonna check that thank you!

[vivid cedar]

But you need to double check everything

[near wigeon]

put some logs into the first line before if statement you would verify 100% the trigger is happening or not

[keen wraith]

it works now

thank you guys!

you are lifesavers

i though i gonna have more problem with that, my english could be poor at moments

heh

thanks anyways once more

[near wigeon]

its the simple things sometimes

[tall hearth]

what's this mean? trying to find what's calling it but my WorldGenerator class doesnt handle anything with enums

[sacred sparrow]

enumerator is a list in this case

i think

or array

[tall hearth]

hmm i still dont think im calling any list 60k times a frame at least not in this class but idk ~_~

[sacred sparrow]

it gets called every time you go to the next element

[vivid cedar]

Any foreach loop will do this

[tall hearth]

oh so like a dictionary GridManager.Cells.Add(GridManager.GetHashFromPos(X, Z, WorldSize), Cell);?

[sacred sparrow]

think so, yeah

but having the whole code would help

[near wigeon]

Coroutine as well btw

thats essentially what it always calls is MoveNext

[sacred sparrow]

yeah it was said and then the msg got nuked

lol

[tall hearth]

oh so this one

foreach(var Cell in GridManager.Cells.Values)
{
  Cell.DespawnDistantCell(PlayerX, PlayerZ, ViewDistance);
}

[vivid cedar]

Yes that's it

Foreach uses IEnumerator to enumerate the collection

[tall hearth]

ah

[tall hearth]

i dont like these ~_~

[tall hearth]

would reducing the size of the Dictionary help?

[sacred sparrow]

well, you should remove the non used cells in that dictionary

and yes, < size = < iterations

[tall hearth]

that's what i was planning to do

[near wigeon]

you probably need to start figuring things out into "chunks" instead of one big thing

[tall hearth]

wat but

i guess i could

[sacred sparrow]

also, this is prob where ECS will help you

[tall hearth]

does ECS work when it isnt game objects?

[sacred sparrow]

wdym

[tall hearth]

the cells arent game objects they are just a class (asking from someone that knows next to nothing about ECS)

[sacred sparrow]

why are they just a class btw

what are the cells

[tall hearth]

like cells of a voxel game but the game is flat (no verticality) so there is no gameobject and so i just render the cells with Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced(Mesh, 0, Material, UsedMatrices);

[sacred sparrow]

oh bruh

you should use game objects

[tall hearth]

why

i can handle it all through class instances

[sacred sparrow]

so you can have colliders and more per chunk

[tall hearth]

i dont need colliders

[sacred sparrow]

anyway, ECS has a sort of gameobject

tho it will be way faster than the normal gameobject logic

[near wigeon]

huh gameobject and ecs are two different concepts entirely

[sacred sparrow]

yeah well, entities are a thing that gets added in the world basically

so sorta like a gameobject

[tall hearth]

is it handled like Jobs cause those gave me trauma and had no effect on my last project (besides using every core to do what 1 did)

[sacred sparrow]

well, jobs can be a part of it

ECS is more focused on systems

[sonic sonnet]

guys i have a question

basically im running websocket server in nodejs on my pc and connect to this server with unity game client everything works fine

but when i host server on external network and connect the game fps lags a lot

what could be the reason behind this?

[sacred sparrow]

RTT

or well, ping

[near wigeon]

not likely

game fps lags

[sacred sparrow]

can you measure your ping?

also, are you sure it's fps and not desync?

[sonic sonnet]

well FPS because the game freezes a lot

[near wigeon]

you gotta debug, if you don't debug you will never know

[sacred sparrow]

that can also mean desync btw

[near wigeon]

is swear people miss the most basic steps..lol

[sacred sparrow]

if the server handles the physics

[sonic sonnet]

it's my first time developing multiplayer game

[sacred sparrow]

what are you using for it?

[sonic sonnet]

weird thing this doesn't happen on my local env

[sacred sparrow]

and why nodejs as a server...

[near wigeon]

debugging has nothing to do with what you're making, its the steps you need to take to debug (narrow the issue by tests / hence debugging)

[sonic sonnet]

why not

[sacred sparrow]

all unity multiplayer solutions should normally use the unity game as the server

[sonic sonnet]

here is profiler info if it helps

[sacred sparrow]

show that code

[near wigeon]

you need to switch the timeline mode into heirarchy mode and check but those are really high ms... what the hell is that code doing

but also profiling with overhead of editor may also not give you the most accurate numbers

[sonic sonnet]

networkmanager.cs
https://pastebin.com/WimQ8mk8

thirdpersoncontroller.cs
https://pastebin.com/GTPW8bzT

[near wigeon]

why reinvent the wheel anyway, just use the provided networking solutions already optimized.. like NGO, Photon etc..

[sacred sparrow]

yeah lol

[sonic sonnet]

but if i do on nodejs server i get more control, at least that's what ai told me

[keen wraith]

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class Tree : MonoBehaviour
{
    int hp = 5;
    public GameObject destroyedPrefab;
    private bool isDestroyed = false;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (isDestroyed) return;

        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Axe"))
        {
            hp--;

            AudioSource destroySound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
            destroySound.Play();

            if (hp == 0)
            {
                isDestroyed = true;

                if (destroyedPrefab != null)
                {
                    Instantiate(destroyedPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                }

                Destroy(gameObject, destroySound.clip.length);
            }
        }
    }
}

[sacred sparrow]

also, nodejs by default is slow AF (if you don't use bun or other stuff)

[near wigeon]

"i get more control" ah yes.. more vague crap AI spews..

[sacred sparrow]

LOL

ignore that AI slop

it's 100% wrong

[keen wraith]

quick question, can i change this script a little to make a sawing feature to get TWO other prefabs?

[near wigeon]

what is control? what type of control ?
NGO and such already provide you all the tools for you to control

[sonic sonnet]

so i should transition to photon?

[sacred sparrow]

no

NGO or mirror i would suggest

there are far more tutorials for those

[stuck flower]

Literally anything but trying to do it entirely from scratch

[sacred sparrow]

and the help community is more active

[near wigeon]

use any of the networking solutions provided already functioning out the box instead of trying to write your own

[stuck flower]

Just pick a framework and stick to it they'll all do what you want

[sonic sonnet]

shouldn't be that hard

[sacred sparrow]

it is

[stuck flower]

Roll a die if need be

[near wigeon]

experienced engineers with years of background on networking help write those

Try them all, stick to one you prefer.. more or less they all have the same functions / concepts

[keen wraith]

like.. change the tag to Saw, for example, and.. well i dont know how to make two prefabs at one time, so.

my code sucks most of the time, so can anybody please assist me in that?

[stuck flower]

If you want to try it, go for it. But no one here is likely to help you because everyone'll just say "use a framework"

So, if you think you can pull it off without asking here then by all means give it a shot

[sacred sparrow]

tho NGO, NFE, mirror are the ones i would suggest here

bc of the more active community

and more tutorials

[near wigeon]

uh this is why you send your code WITH contex in one message is hard to follow what you asked

[stuck flower]

Yes, just call instantiate twice

[keen wraith]

okayyy, im gonna reseng that

or no

lemme redo it

[near wigeon]

its fine , for next time

[keen wraith]

thanks, gonna try that now

[sonic sonnet]

okay perhaps maybe i will choose mirror

as someone suggested

but writing my code in nodejs is also good learning experience

[keen wraith]

like, instantiate for destroyedPrefab2?

[sacred sparrow]

you could also go with NGO, it has a bit more editor integration

[near wigeon]

truth.. I prefer NGO cause is started early with it and was already integrated nicely with Unity editor especially lately with PlayMode, not sure if that works with other frameworks

[sacred sparrow]

yeah

[stuck flower]

If you want to instantiate a prefab, you call instantiate on that prefab

[sacred sparrow]

mirror afaik you can choose if you want to be server side or client side

[sacred sparrow]

also, did you manage to get this working?

when i try to play with this, it just crashes the editor

[near wigeon]

Is that something new ?

I never seen that window b4

[sacred sparrow]

or well it did in 6000.3.6f1

[sacred sparrow]

it's a package from unity

[sonic sonnet]

it's Netcode for GameObjects?

[sacred sparrow]

it can launch some thin editors that will go into play mode on the role you choose

[sacred sparrow]

yes

[near wigeon]

ohh...I use PlayMode package but never used that "Scenarios" thing

[sonic sonnet]

but where is this hosted

ngo

[near wigeon]

You host it on a machine

[keen wraith]

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class Tree : MonoBehaviour
{
    int hp = 5;
    public GameObject destroyedPrefab;
    public GameObject destroyedPrefab2;
    private bool isDestroyed = false;

    {
        if (isDestroyed) return;

        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Axe"))
        {
            hp--;

            AudioSource destroySound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
            destroySound.Play();

            if (hp == 0)
            {
                isDestroyed = true;

                if (destroyedPrefab != null)
                {
                    Instantiate(destroyedPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                }

                if (destroyedPrefab2 != null)

[keen wraith]

i did not change the tag yet

[keen wraith]

gonna note that, sorry for inconvinience laddy

[silent mica]

MPPM is a bit of a mess. Just use https://github.com/VeriorPies/ParrelSync 😄

[sacred sparrow]

oh, thx

[near wigeon]

NGO is free.
Dedicated servers have free tier or. you can use any VPS

[sacred sparrow]

wait they have?

[sonic sonnet]

ah okay

[sacred sparrow]

what is the limit on the Unity dedicated servers for free tier

[sonic sonnet]

so i will choose ngo as it makes things easier

[silent mica]

I don't believe Unity provides dedicated server hosting anymore

[sonic sonnet]

woah im using this right now

[near wigeon]

huh been working fine on 6.0 for me..
but yeah parrelsync was the OG

[sacred sparrow]

MPPM is the one i was using

[near wigeon]

I just dont like that parrelsync makes an entire project clone per client makes the size grow quickly

[sacred sparrow]

(the one i said to you)

[sonic sonnet]

is it better?

[sacred sparrow]

well, considering it made my editor crash, nope XD

[near wigeon]

i think its just 6.3 being garbage

running it daily with 6.0 just fine

[sacred sparrow]

i mean, i could try with 6000.3.10

[sonic sonnet]

also i heard someone say using nodejs server for turn based games with unity is ok

[near wigeon]

6.3 was the most rushed release for LTS ever tbh..nothing but more problems than usual

[sacred sparrow]

yeah, nope

[near wigeon]

You can, doesnt mean you should.

maybe if you're making text based turn based game or something

[silent mica]

Pretty sure my issues with MPPM were on 6.0. Various random errors on clones made it annoying to use

[near wigeon]

gotta admit it wa quite buggy in the beginning, having to close the Secondary player to "reboot" it as fix was quite annoying at times

[sonic sonnet]

also there is a library called Colyseus

[sacred sparrow]

trying rn

[near wigeon]

yeah idk this is some diff shit lol never seen this b4

tbh much easier than having multiple unity editor sessionsopen instead of 1 editor + multiple windows

[sonic sonnet]

that looks nice

[sacred sparrow]

this was unusable XD

it made unity LAG a lot

[silent mica]

Pretty sure MPPM used separate editor instances back when I used it. Nice to see progress if this has changed.

[near wigeon]

oh yeah must be old then lol
all it does now is open an integrated new window as part of the current editor sessions

and you can choose if you want to just display Game view, or tickboxes for Inspector, Hierarchy etc. for the other windows

[near wigeon]

btw I use this not "Scenarios" never tried it

[sacred sparrow]

wait how did you start multiple of them then

[near wigeon]

when I click it , i just select how many I want

[sacred sparrow]

i always assumed this was from the scenarios XD

[near wigeon]

dunno, never used "Scenarios" but this worked out the box for me like this so i never bothered

"Multiplayer Role" thing is new to me

I just make UI buttons and let NetworkManager handle "StartClient" or StartHost/Server etc

[sacred sparrow]

bruh, my main camera gets duped when a player joins

well, time to fix it XD

[near wigeon]

if you have a camera as part of player prefab it will happen yes

you only need 1 camera in the scene, who controls it ofc depends on your game type

[sacred sparrow]

hmm, i don't tho

[near wigeon]

if each control their own camera then you need to make the owner of the player prefab, find it and control it

[sacred sparrow]

think i found why

[near wigeon]

oh well unless you messed up the client code itself, only time ngo spawns something on its own is the player prefab, otherwise you control spawning yourself

[sacred sparrow]

oof, it's hiding ViewEntity from me

[main venture]

Hello, can someone help me? i made an hdrp project, and installed the first person starter asset pack, and now im trying to make an player, so i grabbed the 3 prefabs (PlayerCapsule, PlayerFollowCamera, Main Camera, and put them in game, now i can controll the player, by W/A/S/D but it doesnt respond on mouse, and cant rotate the camera, why? Thanks

[stiff quest]

Have u tried reselect gameobject

[sacred sparrow]

i am now using GameObject and GetEntity

[near wigeon]

we'd need to see more , default should work out the box just fine

[sacred sparrow]

wtf

why i don't have any GhostOwnerIsLocal

[vivid cedar]

The only reason I don't use NGO is because there's no client prediction support.

[reef dome]

There is minimal prediction support with the new AnticipatedNetworkTransform/Variable

but its pretty bare bones

[vivid cedar]

The anticipation stuff is way too half baked to actually be useful

I tried it

[near wigeon]

yea thats true

[vivid cedar]

It doesn't handle the most basic cases

[reef dome]

yeah im currently fighting with it 😄

I am doing a fun project with a buddy thats new to unity so I couldn't really hit them with entities

[near wigeon]

for more comp games NGO is not really for that

[reef dome]

and we want a game we can play together in the end

[vivid cedar]

Networked games are like the pareto principle hell IMO. Instead of 80/20, with network edge cases it's like 95/5 in terms of time spent for me.

[reef dome]

😄

[near wigeon]

luckily rn I'm either doing turn based/card game, or very simple almost couch coop casual slow paced game.. (current project is basically old school Dino crisis but multiplayer)

[reef dome]

We are taking the fellowship (wow m+ experience without anything around it) approach to the ARPG genre, basically cutting all the story and world building from Path of exile and just provide the endgame experience
At first I was looking into server/client networking but with the client prediction being so barebones I think we stick to co-op through steam networking where each player has authority over their own character

[lapis gate]

DOTS network solution apparently more developed than NGO but I dont want to use entities

[reef dome]

Entities is fine and fun once you get into it

but I didnt want to spook my buddy who knows c# but doesnt know unity in week 1, so I opted for the gameobject approach 😄

[near wigeon]

I feel like pure c# and knowing less of GameObject might put you at advantage learning Dots/ECS no ?

GameObject spoils us (sometimes in a bad way)

[reef dome]

Well the whole ECS approach is new while the normal OO way of doing things in gameobjects is familiar to him

His day job is stuff with DevExpress, from watching him work with it, its works like unity in many ways, sometimes feels like Unity for the non-gaming world 😄

even parts of the UI referencing another is like dragging something into an inspector reference

[plain dagger]

UITK already breaks that for UI as you have to query and find elements in code

[keen wraith]

guys quickquestion

the trigger reacts on the other collider if the other collider also has rigidbody on it or what?

[stuck flower]

There's a very handy graphic on this page that shows what combinations of things send the collision messages:
https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-3d

"Static trigger" in this case being an object with a trigger but not a rigidbody

[keen wraith]

thanks

[tardy swallow]

What do you guys use to show ads? ironSource?

[plain dagger]

Yea iron source/level play is probably easiest for mobile ads. Other platforms like ad mob or applovin can be used standalone too if you wanted.

[tardy swallow]

ok great!!!

I was asking that because I’m currently developing an app that helps you manage all your ironsource metrics, like a hub where you are able to see the performance of your ads

ironSource had a mobile app, but they took it down.

[reef dome]

in my experience Applovin Max has a better return but is a bit more complex to integrate

but comes with easier integration into their analytics tool which is the hub you want and a nice mobile analytics tool in general

[tardy swallow]

Oh got it. But for those of us using ironSource, I don’t know about you guys, but sometimes I just want to check my analytics quickly on my phone without going into the ironSource website. It’s a tool I would use, but I wanted to ask if anyone else would also like to have a dedicated ironSource mobile app

If you had a tile based game and you were defending against hordes of zombies. How can u get the danger of monster stacking at one part of the wall if ur making the game without monster stacking

[sacred sparrow]

huh, wdym

[plucky aspen]

i'd say a stacking animation

if im reading that right

[plain iron]

Like in a tile based game u could have 1000 monsters behind a zombie just sitting there while 1 zombie does damage

This is solved by unit stacking

[sacred sparrow]

i would just "combine" the zombies into 1

and put a xNumber at the top, like x1000

[plain iron]

The problem is that's unit stacking and I forget why but I remember that unit stacking would break other parts of the game

[plain iron]

This is unit stacking

[violet thunder]

Do you need to visually/physically stack them or do you just want the other zombies to add to the damage of the first one?

[sacred sparrow]

maybe fix what's causing unit stacking to not work

[plucky aspen]

that would be a good fix

[plain iron]

I don't want zombies to be able to stack to kill heroes but I need them to be able to wreck walls fast by unit stacking behavior

[plucky aspen]

check if there's a wall in the cell and stack them

if no wall, don't stack

[plain iron]

does anyone know why my arm with IK (video second 13) goes like very fast sometimes or skips a degrees in rotation?

it just has a script that it rotates when moving the mouse (in a circle for example)

[gray frigate]

It would help to draw a gizmo where the arm is trying to reach

and to view that from an alternative perspective

i wonder if the target is abruplty changing

[gray frigate]

(in case it's moving forward/backward, which woudl be hard to notice from that POV)

[violet thunder]

I do notice an FPS drop in that video at the moment the fast movement happens

It's probably a larger peak, unity just averages the stats I think

Are you multiplying the mouse input with deltaTime? @left coyote

[raven spindle]

How did you get started with Unity? I’m currently doing the junior programmer course from Unity learn, mainly because I’m a sucker for training badges. But I actually started from YouTube tutorials.

[worldly cave]

theres no better answer than the pathways

so definitely stick to that

[frigid rampart]

I started youtube. I got a BS in game and simulation programming from devry. ive been out of the hobby a while now. just picking it back up

made some seriously excellent progress this week. just started. set up GPS integration with Android. set up server client relationship with server authoritative. got multiple clients working at once. and just a simple id based log in for returning player testing (not finalized by any means)

[raven spindle]

Nice, Unity learn seems really good and I’m reassured that I’m doing it the proper way, which I can never be sure from tutorials, but I have learned some cool things from tutorials

[glass raft]

has anybody created 3d tetris before? I'm trying to find a tutorial to follow so I can create the game.

[fleet canopy]

is it not just tetris but 3D?

you cna try building 2d tetris, but using the 3d components like Rigidbody instead of Rigidbody2D

if it's something more complex like rotating the parts then you should try making them yourself!

that's how all original games are made anyway

[rotund valve]

wheres the 3d view button?

[fleet canopy]

while you may not find a tutorial for the full game, you'll definitely find help on the parts

you can press "2" in the scene view, try to find the gimbal though

We don't have the same context as you do

[elder gull]

Yeah sorry I slept for 1 hour lol

[violet thunder]

Is it just a mesh?

Is it far from the scene origin 0, 0, 0?

In other words what is its world position

[elder gull]

good question
i'm super noob so this is all new to me

[violet thunder]

If it is far from the scene center then it will "squiggle" because the numbers lose precision when they get large

If we are in the thousands of units

[violet thunder]

Select the object and show the Transform component in the inspector

Or if it has parent object(s) then show those

[broken quiver]

Does anyone know if Unity V6 has anything for occlusion culling at runtime? I was looking into it, but it doesn't seem to have anything.

[violet thunder]

GPU occlusion culling

Was introduced in unity 6

[latent meadow]

CPU based before then, iirc

[violet thunder]

And it had to be baked beforehand

[latent meadow]

Ah, that's right

[broken quiver]

I was looking at the documentation, but I can't find anything called URP Assets anywhere. I also used the search function to look for an option called SRP Batcher, but it didn't find anything.

[sly lake]

Also quite slow and imprecise in larger scenes. GPU occlusion culling is a big win.

[sly lake]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/universalrp-asset.html

You probably already have one

[broken quiver]

is this?

[sly lake]

Yes

[broken quiver]

I didn't have it, but someone mentioned how to create it on Reddit, although I still can't find the option that the documentation says needs to be activated. I'll send a screenshot.

[sly lake]

It does assume you’re using URP

[broken quiver]

One question: would what's above be the same as what I created below? (i.e., the URP assets?), or is it something else? (So I can delete what I created below and keep the ones that were already there).

[sly lake]

Yes. Look in project settings for what you’re actually using

[broken quiver]

I see, it says it is.

Do you know how to use the search bar in the inspector? I can't visually find "SRP Batch" that it says I need to activate (knowing how to use a search bar in the inspector might also be useful for me in the future).

like these two

[sly lake]

That’s in project settings > graphics

There’s no search bar in the inspector

[latent meadow]

might be able to add one with free or paid assets. Github and Unity Store (Unity store has over 10000 free things), oh there is that Unity registry too.. i am not on that OS, so i do not have the name or link

[broken quiver]

It's strange, the documentation said "Go to the active URP Asset and enable SRP Batcher." Also, in "project settings > graphics" I don't see the option (I used the search bar and it doesn't seem to find it).

[tacit crypt]

Hello guys, is there anyone who know how to solve this problem? I got trolled in the middle of coding.

[latent meadow]

License support is something you'd have to talk directly to unity Support about. you are paying for a Pro license? i thought only Paid licenses allowed that @ kiv

[sly lake]

I'll create a new URP project real quick. See if I can find it

What platform are you targeting?

[broken quiver]

Are you asking me or the person with the key problem?

[sly lake]

You

[broken quiver]

3D, PC, just testing things btw

[tacit crypt]

No, i use the free one.

[sly lake]

First set this to keep all

[tacit crypt]

I tried to look at YTto search for solution

[latent meadow]

pretty sure you cannot do what you are trying to do with the free license.. if you login, it should just re-enable it. or is your goal offline activation?

[broken quiver]

ready

[tacit crypt]

I will try to login if it work

[latent meadow]

yeah, just login to hub and refresh license if needed

[sly lake]

Then, because the SRP batcher option doesn't seem to exist. Let's just enable this.

And in player settings, disable static batching, because it asks.

Now I'll check to see if it's working by importing a large scene that murders non-GPU driven renderers 😅

[tacit crypt]

Well, it did not work.

[sly lake]

Yeah, we can see it's rendering 1600 objects in just a handful of draw calls now

[latent meadow]

well, it should have, so check your logs

!logs

[vagrant root]

[sly lake]

So TL;DR the documentation is wrong. SRP batching is enabled by default, not an option.

[broken quiver]

Well, less steps, that is better

[sly lake]

The "batch count" property is way off in URP, holy shit

Probably best to ignore that entirely

[violet thunder]

The one in stats window?

[sly lake]

Yeah

It's more than 50 times the actual draw calls

[violet thunder]

Yeah its unreliable with the SRP batcher

[latent meadow]

well, sheet, said the ghost reports

[broken quiver]

Me too

[violet thunder]

I wonder where that number in the stats window comes from then 🤔

[sly lake]

Probably from the batching pass, which runs before the objects are sent to the renderer

So it’s sending that many, and it gets truncated afterwards

[broken quiver]

I hadn't seen your message. Is it possible to see what disappears from the camera when the game is running?

like this

[slow dirge]

If you use occlusion culling, sure. That's how it's debug view(I think having the occlusion culling window open is enough) works.

[sly lake]

Not like that, no. But there are debug views that can show you the culling stats

[broken quiver]

The one that changes the color of certain objects?

[sly lake]

Here, in the rendering debugger

[broken quiver]

I was looking for where to open that menu, I couldn't find it, but I found how to activate this, it might help.

[sly lake]

Window > analysis > rendering debugger

[sly lake]

I think this is for CPU culling

Which IMO you don't want to use in 2026 unless you're targeting phones or something

[broken quiver]

Also, there's something that left me wondering. Is step number 4 not done either? I noticed you never mentioned it. But anyway, this worked for you.

[broken quiver]

Ohh, maybe, that's the NO runtime occlusion culling right?

[sly lake]

I think it was set by default

[sly lake]

It works at runtime, you just need to bake it first. But it produces a lot of data, so real tradeoff between memory, precision and speed.

GPU occlusion culling is just a checkbox

It’s pretty foolproof

[broken quiver]

Okay, fewer extra steps, that's 👍. So points 2 and 4 are probably already set by default.
Although, another question: how did you know you had to disable "Static Batting"? Nothing like that was mentioned in the steps. (curiosity)

[sly lake]

It said it after I enabled GPU resident drawer

[broken quiver]

Ah, I didn't get the message because I did it first, that makes sense. 😅

[broken quiver]

My bad, I meant that occlusion culling doesn't work with the CPU when creating objects at runtime. It does work with the GPU, right?

[sly lake]

Yep. Just works.

So long as the object is in the depth buffer (not alpha blended) it’s an occluder

[violet thunder]

Damnit now I want to upgrade my unity 2021 project to unity 6 and test the GPU culling

Since it had arbitrary, procedural level geometry

Must resist urge... just started a 2D project

[latent meadow]

Nooo! Doo it, doo it

[sly lake]

Even without that, it’s free performance. These culling passes are so quick they save more than they use.

[broken quiver]

Good, I won't have to program the chunk meshes anymore to make it work properly 🙏😭 (Although batches do need to be scheduled xd)

[sly lake]

Whereas CPU culling is very expensive

I think it works by ray tracing into an AABB tree. GPU culling just reads the depth buffer instead.

AABB, finally a word I actually know.

Yeah, they were a nice band.

I was also thinking of an abba joke

Yeah I'll definitely use it for the next 3D project anyway.
That particular project just kinda hit a brick wall because of lack of proper occlusion

Love to see unity becoming more procedural-friendly!

This would eliminate the need to manually create batches with code when creating many objects at runtime simultaneously?

[broken quiver]

Like generate a chunk

[violet thunder]

Batching was always automatic but now most of the work is moved from CPU to GPU

I mean technically you can batch manually by using the various RenderMesh functions but that's different from the classic GameObject workflow

Actually I'm thinking of drawcall reduction, so nevermind

Not my expertise tbh :p

[violet thunder]

You mean like combining meshes?

With my logic, that would hurt the performance with GPU culling

Since it can't cull parts of the mesh but has to render the whole mesh

[broken quiver]

I was putting all the blocks together in one batch with a single mesh of only the outer edges (to save vertices, although there are still many), because if I created all the cubes without further ado, the batches went up too much, like more than 1000, and with the batch with a single mesh, it was only +1 batch in the stats.
