[violet thunder]

I'd imagine that you still want to chunk it (if this is a Minecraft-like world)

If you know that some faces will never be rendered, just don't create them at all

Less pressure on the machine

[sly lake]

It does that as well 🙂

[broken quiver]

Yes, I was doing it that way, dividing into chunks, but each chunk was a single batch with a single mesh, but with all the cubes inside.

[sly lake]

Not the culling, but GPU driven rendering and GPU occlusion culling go hand in hand.

[violet thunder]

What hardware have you used it with?

[broken quiver]

But with the current occlusion culling, it should do it on its own.

[sly lake]

Steam Deck on the low end

Though it should be a good choice on anything except Android, where OpenGL ES is still often used for compatibility.

Oh, and WebGL 🙂

[tacit crypt]

Bugged? I have a stable Internet connection.

[sly lake]

Working on my end

[broken quiver]

I think you're right, I was doing it that way before because I didn't know they added GPU culling in Unity 6. I was combining all the cubes into a batch and a mesh, and only showing the outer edges. But of course, if there are too many chunks, like "64x64" (the video), it's going to render too many verts because the corners have walls with too many verts. But I'm going to use GPU culling and see how it goes.

[native mica]

In the file system of an unity game i found the game-assets in a folder "StreamingAssets"->"AssetBundle" as files with the type ".ab", wich seam to mean "AssetBundle".
How can i extract models (able to open in blender) and textures (".png" or something) from such files?

[pearl oyster]

Discussing asset ripping isn't allowed here

[native mica]

where can i ask that?

[copper gust]

a different server

[tacit crypt]

Hello guys, for mobile gaming development, which template should I use? Universal 3D template or 3D (Built-In Render Pipeline) template in Unity 6.3.?

[craggy pollen]

urp

[tacit crypt]

Alright, thank you

[noble saffron]

Is there a channel that's for vfx bundle thing?

Good evening

[tacit crypt]

Plus, how do I find Canvas in the hierarchy? I only find UI Toolkit, but could not find UI Canvas.

[modest meteor]

dunno what bundle you are talking about but #✨┃vfx-and-particles sounds like the channel for vfx stuff

[lapis gate]

just make any ui element from the asset menu and it'll come with all the canvas components

[noble saffron]

Thanks, might gonna ask there

It's probably about a bundle consisting of vfx files, probably be used for Character's essential functions (attacks, status effects, etc)

[tacit crypt]

But i cant find Canvas scaler and graphic raycaster

I am very much concused

[lapis gate]

Usually it comes with the whole canvas setup

Just make like a UI panel object and it'll give you all of that on a single gameobject

[plain dagger]

Yea if you make a canvas from that menu it will add those too

If these do not exist in the add component menu then ugui may be disabled

the gameobject create menu options sometimes bug out

[tacit crypt]

Well, I just found the UI Canvas Section, the editor are wayyy too BUGGY. Even 3D built in rp template are not that buggy

[near wigeon]

when I say see more not just a cropped pic of the heirarchy... There are more moving parts to this, inspectors, what is assigned in Follow Cam etc...
have you tried also using the Prefab that comes with all the those prefabs together ?
make a video if its easier to show setup
particularly the cam part and inputs..

[tacit crypt]

Seems like the URP are the main problem. Even after I reset the library to solve MaterialReferenceChanger error, some of the assets Ive imported got corrupted.

[copper gust]

Assets have to support urp

[radiant pewter]

I'm super confused

how is it returning the child object when I'm using transform.root

[lapis gate]

is it being modified before you grab it

[radiant pewter]

I don't think so, but I'm going through someone else's code so I might be missing something

[lapis gate]

not a fan of transform navigation like this

just send some reference downwards / subscribe

[radiant pewter]

yeah I might just find by tag instead that should fix everything

probably the path of least resistance

[main venture]

I figures it out already , thanks

[fallen wolf]

hey, so I just started a brand new Unity 2D project with nothing but a square and a movement script to move the square about and for some reason I get like 15fps when moving around, is this a common issue?

nothing about this script should be causing these performance issues I don't think?

[pearl oyster]

The scirpt moves the player only during fixedupdate which happens much less often than the actual framerate. MovePosition shouldn't be used to move dynamic rigidbodies

[fallen wolf]

ah, so call the Move() method in update instead? And what would you use instead of MovePosition to move a dynamic rigidbody?

[pearl oyster]

No, a rigidbody should only be moved during fixedupdate but not with MovePosition which is essentially teleportation. The basic options are either using forces with AddForce or setting linearVelocity directly

[ruby thorn]

I have a question about copyright. If I add a ghost-catching mechanism to my game that is similar to Ghostbusters but not exactly the same, could I be sued for copyright infringement? Since the concept of a ghost is a general idea, I don't think the idea of putting it in a box would directly constitute a copyright issue. However, the game I want to make is still in the development phase, and when I mentioned this to my friends, they made it very clear that I could run into copyright issues.

[potent geyser]

You shouldn't get your legal advice off the Internet, and certainly not from discord where half the users are not even adults.

[ruby thorn]

[potent geyser]

"But Gtagfan2023 said it was okay, your honour!" Isn't going to work.

[fallen wolf]

This is like asking if you can get a copyright infringement for making a space battle game when star wars exists

do whatever you want, copyright applies to intellectual property and not ideas

[ruby thorn]

Yes, that's exactly what I argued, sometimes I think you should just do it, don't listen to your friends.

[fallen wolf]

Okay, I switched to the AddForce method instead, it did help with the absolute monster performance issue but it's still jittery as hell and I can't wrap my mind around why

[lapis gate]

MovePosition kinda weird. Like you can use it with non-kinematic but it overrides the majority of physics applications, so ultimately more of a kinematic method.

[fallen wolf]

but is the movement even related to the performance?

[lapis gate]

Probably specify what exactly you mean by performance issues. Are you having frame drops or is there some inconsistency with how the moving object is updating visually.

[fallen wolf]

I mean that my entire computer is freaking out and when looking at the profiler, it looks like the renderer is spiking but I'm not sure I'm reading it right

[lapis gate]

And this is with a new project with nothing else in the scene?

[fallen wolf]

yep

[lapis gate]

Try building and see if the problem persists

[fallen wolf]

No issues in the build

it runs smoothly

it's in the editor that it lags an insane amount

but I have another unity 2d project from a year ago which doesn't lag at all

super frustrating

[lapis gate]

Not much I can work on here if this is a new project, so I'd assume just a versioning issue if not hardware related.

[fallen wolf]

I'm gonna try and downgrade the editor version and see if it helps

but it should not be a hardware issue, my 5700X3D should have no issues processing a square moving in a 2D space

[lapis gate]

More that unity might be siphoning a few extra gigs of mem in the background

[summer ocean]

hi, i need help with shaders, how i can ask for help with that?

[inland river]

#1391720450752516147

[fallen wolf]

okay it turns out the editor version was the problem

Unity 6.3 just doesn't run well on my machine, I have to use 6.0 instead

[near wigeon]

what was issue ?

[main venture]

I have no clue, probably bad hierarchy

[cinder lily]

Hi all! New here and to Unity. Is there a best channel to get help with one of the official tutorials?

[balmy kettle]

depends on what specifically you need help with.
#🔎┃find-a-channel

[cinder lily]

I checked out find a channel. I'm still not certain which is why I asked. I'm getting a code error, but I don't know if it's actually that or something I messed up in the editor, because checking the code against what it is supposed to be, I cannot see anything wrong.

[modest meteor]

#💻┃code-beginner post the error and your code there

[balmy kettle]

well if it's code related then you should ask for help in a code channel, making sure to provide the relevant context including your code and error message(s)

[cinder lily]

Again, I'm not certain it's a code error or if it's pointing out something wrong in the engine, which is why I wasn't sure where to post. But I'll start there.

[balmy kettle]

until you actually describe your issue nobody else can possibly know what it is

[placid yew]

Is there a method to check what TMP_inputfield is currently focused without having a reference to said inputfield? It is my understanding that there can only be one input field active/edited at a given time(at least on mobile)

Im using the onfocus event for now, but I’d like to have the same behaviour on all of my inputfields without having to create a new class inheriting TMP_inputfield

[lapis gate]

I would think that the event system would have some property for it

[placid yew]

I’ll go check that out, Ive dug around with little success

[lapis gate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.html
Could also use some of those interfaces on ISelectHandler and IPointerClick

[rose flicker]

How could I add a little of color variation to the tiles?

[restive wolf]

Bruh how do you even begin to do this in Unity?

[worldly cave]

this is very technically impressive, so impressive that theres not really a straight answer here

its like showing a picture of rdr2 and asking "how do i get graphics like these", a lot of time and effort is the real answer

[sacred sparrow]

is this a video being played?

i suppose it is

they then just synced the buttons

[worldly cave]

i dont think so

at least not the latter parts

the beggining itself might be an uncompressed video file of some kind?

[sacred sparrow]

yeah well, they can easily just sync those

[worldly cave]

but its clear those are real UI elements

[sacred sparrow]

but the other animations is prob just a video

[worldly cave]

i dont think its as simple as your making it out to be

[sacred sparrow]

yeah ofc

[worldly cave]

handling it all through prebaked animations would be abysmal

[restive wolf]

Realistically I'm not looking for a true breakdown. Half showing off something really sweet looking.

Though I wouldn't mind some insight, if possible.

[worldly cave]

Start with learning tweening

that would be my recommendation

[plucky aspen]

why are all the recent unity versions having so much issues?

[sacred sparrow]

well, those are old

and kinda rushed

[plucky aspen]

ah

so 6.3 should be fine?

[sacred sparrow]

latest is 6000.3.10f1

for LTS

[plucky aspen]

as in 6000.3.10f1

yeah

tyty

[balmy thistle]

the security alert is active for all versions of unity from that version to 2017-ish, basically making nearly a decade of Unity releases unusable

[plain dagger]

Builds can be patched and many versions got fixed so nothing to cry over

[rose lichen]

Ive tried everything on !install and my installation still has failed. Anyone now how to fix, not validation failed just "install failed"

[modest meteor]

unusable? i'll happily ship a game with that alert tbh cause i still don't see what the big deal is

[plucky aspen]

is this contributing to the sloppiness of companies recently then?

[sacred sparrow]

nope

it's .9

the latest is .10

[rose lichen]

ok

[rose lichen]

ill disable it for now

[sacred sparrow]

what is your AV btw

[rose lichen]

windows security like the built in one

[sacred sparrow]

oh, no external one?

strange that it would interfere then

[rose lichen]

i dont even know how to disable it

[sacred sparrow]

it's a toggle

google it

[rose lichen]

its off

[craggy pollen]

it is called windows defender

[rose lichen]

windows security

[sacred sparrow]

nah, it's windows defender

[rose lichen]

just what the app says

same app i think

im installing it so we will see what happens

[cinder star]

Hey quick help, I'm using Unity 2022.3.62f3 and my scene view camera is a little twisted, does someone know what the problem is?

[rose lichen]

thank you guys for help

[sacred sparrow]

.10?

[worldly cave]

app?

[sacred sparrow]

rotate the camera?

[worldly cave]

nvm

[cinder star]

The game cam in 0,0,0 but the scene cam is twisted and my regular camera is twisted

[sacred sparrow]

can you show a sec

[plain dagger]

My work pc keeps saying its blocked lots of unity related dlls

its very odd i cant make it stop, my home pc never does it

[sacred sparrow]

try to add the folder to exclusions

[cinder star]

If you can see the difference between the right side and the left one, on the game camera It looks straight.

[sacred sparrow]

that's very strange

It's just changing the cam position

[rose lichen]

i was used to it

[worldly cave]

i dont think that much has changed since then...

[rose lichen]

well i have always used a 2022 version, ive tried to upgrade but then this whole issue started back up, so ive tried with different versions and it didnt work still

installation still failed im going stop for now.

You can always fall back to downloading the installer for a version from the unity download archive page

you can add installs to hub later

[worldly cave]

bro had the gtag discord badge too, cherry on top lol

[broken quiver]

what is gtag?

[worldly cave]

gorilla tag, very popular vr game made in unity

especially amongst children

we get about 10 kids a day here asking someone to help them make a "gtag copy" which is a whole subgenre of free games that also get really popular among children

[broken quiver]

oh, I think I got that a long time ago on YT

[broken quiver]

Kids underestimate the time and effort it would take to do something like this for free 😅

[torpid cave]

how do i use this texture to fade out my material from world position? i want my material to fade out past a certain distance

[worldly cave]

I dont think you need a texture to do this at all?

idk who told you you did but you could just use use a world position node and a smoothstep

[broken quiver]

How strange, the "Gpu Resident Drawer" option does not seem to be displayed in the Rendering Debugger. And I did all the steps 🤔

[sly lake]

Interesting. I made a brand new project on Unity 6.0

[broken quiver]

I'll get a little ahead of some questions, this is what I have activated/deactivated, what the documentation said and what you had told me yesterday too.

[worldly cave]

A bit of a design question, but do you guys think camera based weapon and ui sway should happen in the direction of the mouse movement or the opposite direction?

Like both options seem intuitively right

[broken quiver]

I would say the opposite

[broken quiver]

that's how games usually do it

[worldly cave]

you would think so right

but most games surprisingly dont

[broken quiver]

Mm, well, I have seen games that do both ways, another way would be to use the one you prefer and in settings add the option to change that.

[violet thunder]

Is it visual or does it affect where the bullets go?

[worldly cave]

both

since the game has height over bore and actual bullet dynamics

projectiles come out of the barrel

[violet thunder]

If it affects shot direction, my take is that it feels super weird when it "overshoots", compared to it just dragging behind

[worldly cave]

that was my initial logic as well, playing around with it

i think ill keep it or possibly add a simple option to switch depending on preference

because its as simple as changing one plus to a minus

[violet thunder]

Indeed

I remember tweaking sway animations for hours without ever deciding on it lol

The game 7 Days to Die had it different for X and Y look axes, it was gross

[worldly cave]

weird

like what higher y axis but lower x axis movement?

i cant think of a reason for it, or even the opposite

[violet thunder]

Inverted in X compared to Y

[worldly cave]

oh

weird

i mean if you already did that, would it not make sense to have inverted Y compared to x?

[violet thunder]

Moving the mouse/looking to the top right would make it sway bottom left and vice versa

Anyway, you can combine the angle sway with slight positional sway with a different timing also

And combine other rotations around other pivot points/axes

[worldly cave]

well its funny because the last changes i made was specifically simplifying it lol

I figured since it already affected aim, it shouldnt be too crazy

[violet thunder]

Yep, you probably want to keep the angular X and Y sway pretty low

While Z angle and positional sway doesn't really affect the aim direction much

[proper otter]

Guys, I’m making a 2D game and building my map using Unity’s Tilemap system. However, I got a bit carried away and my map ended up extremely large — my scene file is now around 120 MB. I thought about creating the map externally in Tiled instead, but I’d rather not redo all the work there. Do you have any ideas that could help me, either to export my map from Unity to Tiled or to make it lighter somehow?

[fleet canopy]

unlikely a tool like that exists, if you designed your spritemap well it should be fairly easy to re-map all the tiles

additionally, unity scene files are usually pretty large i think nvm they're not

[plain dagger]

I am surprised its 120MB but yea you may have to write something yourself to export the data

Tiled supports js extensions anyway so that may help to import some data

[copper gust]

what does your tilemap contain? is it like multiple rooms/areas/zones etc.?

[proper otter]

It's an open field with various areas, mostly forests, so I have many tiles like trees, plants, and terrain.

Maybe I can do something by exporting, I'll try, thank you so much everyone 🫶🏼

[plain dagger]

I once wrote an extension for tiled to export data to a custom format, the api is decent

[proper otter]

Is that so? If you could share it, I would be very grateful.

[plain dagger]

Ah no that was for my last job so i cant but their api documentation is decent
https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/

There are also pre made libraries for interacting with tiled maps in c#
https://doc.mapeditor.org/en/stable/reference/support-for-tmx-maps/#c-net

[proper otter]

Ah ok, no problem haha
At least it gave me hope that it's possible, thank you

hmm well i didnt touch it i was away both times

i always had issues with unity after my new windows install that i did months ago

[broken quiver]

I already fixed it, it turns out that in Unity 6 there is a separate option called "Resident Drawer GPU", but in Unity 6.3, it does not exist now, but is found in "Rendering"

[sacred sparrow]

it's the only error i see

srry

[copper gust]

its urp too

if you google it you can find it 😄

[sacred sparrow]

yeah i was just blind, f

[maiden escarp]

happy to provide mor information if necessary, im unsure what category this goes in. My player object interacts with the white object by walking near/over it to "pick it up" (opens UI canvas) but for some reason when i walk away (which is set to disable the canvas and does so successfully) the player gets stuck for some reason . been getting stuck between houses and in other spots too, with no obvious explanation, its been driving me mad. the colliders are slightly oversized but, has "slippery" physics so shuldnt be getting stuck to anything and there's not even a boundary where the letter is. theres a collider on it but its set to "is trigger"

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/urp/gpu-resident-drawer.html#enable-the-gpu-resident-drawer

[violet thunder]

I would ask in #⚛️┃physics and show the code too

[maiden escarp]

im ngl i use visual scripting so idrk what to copy for that, unless sharing the visual scripting itself works

[violet thunder]

I don't understand what the canvas has to do with it though 🤔

[maiden escarp]

its possible its just something to do with the envelope itself

i dont really know i could try turning off the script and walking over it again

yeah its something with the envelope

[violet thunder]

There's #1390346878394040320 but it's probably fine if you add a screenshot to the movement code here or in physics channel or something since we don't know if it's a script issue or not

What's an envelope

Oh the white object

[maiden escarp]

oh yeahsorry i forgot to clarify

yeah it gets stuck after walking over it

im brand new where do i find this code i should send?

(im doing this for a class and they literally only taught us visual scripting 😭)

[violet thunder]

Stuck how? Forever? Or for a moment? Or until you change direction?

[maiden escarp]

forever, nothing fixes

could a particle system cause it

[violet thunder]

Are you changing the time scale anywhere?

Sounds to me like you might be setting it to zero

Or your character script is throwing errors and can't execute (check the console)

[violet thunder]

No idea, most of us here use C#, the visual scripters are in #1390346878394040320

[maiden escarp]

maybe i messed up the time with the particle system or something idk im not getting any errors but

i can ask in visual scripting

[lusty turret]

hey guys weird thing going on , for some reason my camera is not working right , the weapons and hud appear on the camera but all the rest of the game wont , with is weird because the main camera should look at the layers that the game has , any idea of what is going on ?

[sacred sparrow]

well, how should the game look

and show the camera settings too

[lusty turret]

ok hang on a minute

[left coyote]

anyone know why the texture looks so different in unity compared to blender?

[sacred sparrow]

check the texture filter

set it to "point no filter" in your case

[lusty turret]

here is a image of the first level and some enemies

[sacred sparrow]

and the cam settings?

[lusty turret]

what exact cam settings should be useful here ?

[sacred sparrow]

this

[left coyote]

it is set to point no filter

[sacred sparrow]

hmm, then can you show the model import settings?

[left coyote]

where do i see that?

[sacred sparrow]

on the .fbx or whatever model file

[left coyote]

this?

[lusty turret]

never mind i was able to fix it

[sacred sparrow]

no

this

in the .fbx file

[sacred sparrow]

try to change normals from import to calculate

[left coyote]

didnt work

[sacred sparrow]

oof, idk then, srry

try #1390346776804069396 then

ik someone else had the same problem

so you might be able to find what you need there

[left coyote]

I will

thanks tho

[muted beacon]

by chance does anyone know what could be causing this?
generally my unity hub is shitting itself.

[sacred sparrow]

your graphics drivers maybe

[muted beacon]

Actually - could probably be, been like a month since i last updated, I'll try it out later, thanks

[sacred sparrow]

mine also behave strangely sometimes, lol

(for some reason it decided it wanted the font to become pixelated, XD)

[chrome scaffold]

guys i want an honest opinion. do you think its bad using AI for art on my game if i don t have the money to hire a graphic designer?

[worldly cave]

yes

its pretty bad

[chrome scaffold]

how would you go about creating assets then. i am at that point where i am done with code and i am making the ui nice and all that

[dusky forum]

Use free assets knowing that others will have the same assets as you

[worldly cave]

well, you have 4 options

A. use free assets
B. pay for assets
C. learn to make the assets yourself
D. stick to simpler visuals you can easily create yourself

[worldly cave]

i dont think thats much of a concern tbh

even major companies have stopped caring about that

just look at kitbash

[chrome scaffold]

I mean like you can t use free stuff for like a logo and stuff. you still want something unique. Like i am currently trying to make a logo but i really don t wanna invest my time on it that much since i just wanna code mostly.

[worldly cave]

then have a simple logo lol

people are far more likely to trust someone with a basic logo than an ai generated one

its a matter of optics

people will see ai generated art and dismiss your projects as slop garbage

and they would be right, if you choose to use ai art

[craggy swan]

Bro why is this so true

[worldly cave]

because its the morally correct take to have

[craggy swan]

Yeah I agree

[copper gust]

Then focus on the code since that's what you wanna do

[worldly cave]

Thomas was alone is getting eternally vindicated each passing day

[copper gust]

super hexagon... baba is you..

[worldly cave]

even minecraft used programmer art for quite some time

[craggy swan]

Honestly what I do to create good assets without using AI is to just create pixel art because it's easier for a beginner in my opinion and you can just work your way up in quality.

[worldly cave]

Imo every programmer needs to pick up some form of art

even as a hobby

artists that become programmers always have an "easier" time in the industry for obvious reasons

[craggy swan]

Yeah

There are lots of online art courses too

[copper gust]

im garbo at art stuff but i've gotten a lot of compliments on my games look which legit just uses free models online with no textures and no lighting

limitations lead to cool takes

[fallen wolf]

What??

[worldly cave]

hes telling you to show off your work there

this isnt the channel for that stuff

[worldly cave]

yes because this isnt the channel for that

[fallen wolf]

Ah

Isn’t it under the genera category though

And the name of the channel is Unity talk

[dusky forum]

The game will be fine if it's enjoyable. If you're an individual, it is sort of expected that your game will lack certain qualities. Hiding what you're lacking will only make those who are aware of what you're doing distain you more.

[copper gust]

this channel name and description is very poorly named, it's a whole thing

#daily-win for one offs #dev-log for long term projects

[fallen wolf]

Okay, thanks, it was obviously just a joke but I get it, structure

[fallen wolf]

Does your game use pixel art?

You don’t have to be Picasso if so, just draw something rough, have a decent sense of lighting and color scheme and throw whatever you drew in a pixel art converter

It will hide a lot of the imperfections

But as Kuzmo said, it’s good to have a solid foundation in art and music production on top of programming if you really insist on being a lone dev

[broken quiver]

In my opinion, it's not bad. And as you can see, there are different opinions, because morality is subjective, so in the end, do what feels most comfortable or gives you the best result.

[crisp phoenix]

does anyone in this entire server have any idea how to correctly use the configurable joint?

I've tried changing around the axises, changing the bodys the joints are on, changing the math, i cannot for the life of me get it to work correctly

its strange cause some joints work fine and some dont

i should mention its an issue with target rotation btw

[violet thunder]

It's a bit tricky but here's some helper code for setting the target rotations
https://gist.github.com/mstevenson/4958837

Make sure to read the comments about caching the start rotations

[crisp phoenix]

im already using it 🥹

[abstract bolt]

does anyone know if there is like a tutorial or something out there to help me learn how to make a camera lock on feature? im just lost as hell

[crisp phoenix]

do you mean rotate the camera towards a position?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.LookAt.html

Tansform.LookAt()

[abstract bolt]

ah ok and yeah like i want my character to still be in frame but when i middle click an entity that has the tag to be Lockable than its rotated towards a position and it holds the camera position on that entity

[crisp phoenix]

yeah Transform.LookAt() would do the trick

[rotund valve]

Hey does anyone know how to import an image with layers into unity?

If i add Ugs Cloud save to my game, in the editor will it start to save stats to the database and try to get stats from the database do i need to make sure that no stats are saved or fetched in the editor build?

Require them to verify their invoice to get support with you. Otherwise it’s free advertising don’t worry about it

It didn't work, but I already fixed it, I think the prefab was using a texture that didn't exist, and even if I did the convert and reimport thing, the direction of the prefab texture was not updated. Simply create a new prefab.

I'm trying to create a game, is it possible for the grid to be more transparent when you are looking at it from that side? (e.g. you look from the front and the front part of the grid is more transparent)

[near wigeon]

anything is possible

[glass raft]

do you know how to do it?

[near wigeon]

there are a few ways I'd do it, really depends.. Id probably make a shader then you some simple of cast since you got collider, other methods can be used too beside physic

[glass raft]

ok, ill try to figure it out

[near wigeon]

break down the problem into smaller easier to solve ones then put it together

there are multiple ways to solve a problem

Oh

[mystic rivet]

I'm having an error while saving, I can't do it, how can I do it?

[craggy pollen]

what kind of error

saving what

[mystic rivet]

I'm making a game and I haven't been able to save the shelf and the products inside for 5 days.

[craggy pollen]

sorry i dont get it

[mystic rivet]

You buy a shelf and put it on the market, but it doesn't record, when you exit the game, everything goes away.

[sacred sparrow]

well, modding is not really a good thing to discuss here

[frosty blade]

Oh, excuse me, my bad

[fluid shadow]

I am in absolute agony, why can't I build a game to android?
I have been trying for almost 3 days now, for the love if god's sake please help me I beg of you

[sacred sparrow]

maybe the NDK is missing?

[fluid shadow]

I am dumber than a rock and the knowledge of what an NDK isn't in my mind yet

pls elaborate

[sacred sparrow]

the android sdk

[raven spindle]

Try this from AI: That build is failing inside the Android SDK platform you’re compiling against:

...SDK\platforms\android-35\android.jar: D8: java.lang.NullPointerException

then Gradle build failed

So it’s not “your Unity scripts” — it’s D8 (the Android dexer) choking while processing android-35/android.jar. This usually happens when API 35 (Android 15) tooling is mismatched / buggy / partially installed / corrupted, especially with Unity 2022.3.x.

Fastest fix (most common)

Stop targeting API 35 for now. Use API 34.

In Unity:

Edit → Project Settings → Player → Android

Other Settings

Set:

Target API Level: Android 14 (API 34) (or “Highest installed” after uninstalling 35)

(Leave Minimum API wherever you need it)

Then rebuild.

[fluid shadow]

OMFG I LOVE YOU
I finally managed to get an actual build of my game. I set my phone as the run device, do I just open up my phone to try it?

[sacred sparrow]

you need ADB

afaik

also

google it

[plain dagger]

ADB can be used to install the app or you can on device if the file is copied over or downloaded

[fluid shadow]

yeah I just copied the build to my phone and it works fine

[wooden pebble]

Hey so what are the rigid body's mass in? Like tonnes, KGs, grams, stone. What unit is it in? Or is it not a unit from real life?

[storm patio]

unity assumes metric units, it's in kg and worldspace units are in meters

[wooden pebble]

Okay thanks!

[storm patio]

though it's totally possible to redefine them, you just have to change the gravitational constant afaik

[storm patio]

this is just with the default value of gravity

[wooden pebble]

What about force? A Newton?

[storm patio]

if your mass is in kg and your units are in meters, then yes

units.. aren't really real

if you pick a coherent system of units, it'll just work

[mystic rivet]

I'm making a game and I haven't been able to save the shelf and the products inside for 5 days.

[sacred sparrow]

just save it in json

[mystic rivet]

I couldn't do it, can you help me?

[sacred sparrow]

wdym

just google it

or on YT

you literally can find hundreds of tutorials

[mystic rivet]

I don't understand what to write

[sacred sparrow]

"how to create a save system in json"

or just: how to save in json unity

it's not that hard

[mystic rivet]

I couldn't register the shelf, just how do I do that?

[sacred sparrow]

wdym you couldn't register the shelf...

[near wigeon]

"save the shelf" what do you mean ?

what shelf

you cannot assume we know what type of game you're making if you don't explain it

[mystic rivet]

I'm making a market simulator

[sacred sparrow]

yeah, just save the shelf in json

[mystic rivet]

but I just can't do it

[sacred sparrow]

it's basic stuff tbh, just save the position rotation and contents

[near wigeon]

yes but thats still vague, where do you want to save? a file? inventory ?

[mystic rivet]

If there is a shelf in the market, when you put it in our own market, it will save it and when you exit the game, it will stay in the place where I last placed it.

[sacred sparrow]

you just have to do this

and literally hundreds of tutorials exist on YT

[mystic rivet]

I didn't see

[near wigeon]

ok.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD7y4T4PVk0

[mystic rivet]

I didn't understand, I'm sorry to save this on the shelf

[sacred sparrow]

huh?

[mystic rivet]

Do you know? If only you could help me directly.

[sacred sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVXEUtMy_Hc&t=592s

literally the videos explain what you have to do

pls at least try on your own

if we make the code for you, then you won't learn anything

and will keep coming back again and again

[mystic rivet]

This is the grudge of the players, I cannot make the products of the shelf and the content of the shelf.

[sacred sparrow]

i don't understand what you mean

[mystic rivet]

I want to make a shelf and the products but it doesn't work, there is no shelf where I put it, it goes in and out.

[sacred sparrow]

you want to make a shelf or save a shelf

i don't understand

[timber rock]

why is unity so tuff

[mystic rivet]

No, when I put the shelf somewhere, I want it to stay there, it disappears when I enter and exit the game.

[sacred sparrow]

yeah, you save it to json

as i said before

it's not hard

it's very basic stuff

[mystic rivet]

It was very difficult for me and I have not been able to do this for 5 days.

[sacred sparrow]

we linked you 2 tutorials already

pls at least watch those

and try to learn

we will NOT do the code for you

bc you have to learn

[mystic rivet]

My friend, you don't understand, my aim is not to make you do it, but to give you the good news of the meaning of solving mistakes.

[sacred sparrow]

yes, just pls watch the videos

and try to reason with your head

[grizzled scarab]

hii ppl im new to this server and umm i joined this cuz i wanna grow togther with someones help like some ppls help im ready to join any group if possible

[mystic rivet]

Dude, how do you understand? It's json, but you don't do it as a position. It shows the money. It's easy to distribute money anyway.

[worldly cave]

what does this even mean

[sacred sparrow]

you have to save the position of the shelf

and rotation

[mystic rivet]

OK, that's not what the video explains.

[sacred sparrow]

and then load it back in when you re-enter the game

[sacred sparrow]

it's an EXAMPLE

pls

reason with your head

it's the same logic

[mystic rivet]

My friend, can't you help me because your understanding capacity is quite low?

[sacred sparrow]

oooof

just change the stupid variables getting saved

it literally is not hard to understand

[mystic rivet]

Dude, aren't you looking at the video while you continue to save money, you blew my mind.

[near wigeon]

brother if this is hard for you why are you making a simulator games

those are easy

[storm patio]

what is going on...

[near wigeon]

making flappy bird of sum

[sacred sparrow]

they save money, good, change that stupid money variable to the one you need

[mystic rivet]

I did everything, I kept recording, I just found it difficult to record my friend.

[sacred sparrow]

wdym you kept recording...

[mystic rivet]

Dude, is saving position the same as saving money? Do you have a problem?

[near wigeon]

saving anything is the same thing

saving info is the most basic thing you can do

[sacred sparrow]

YES

it is

it is just a different variable type

[storm patio]

- int money;
+ int position;

[sacred sparrow]

nah

Vector3 position

[storm patio]

or whatever position is supposed to be here

[sacred sparrow]

i suppose either Vector2 or 3

[storm patio]

is this for saving stuff on the shelf, or for where the shelf is

[sacred sparrow]

both

[storm patio]

i mean the "position" in question here.

[sacred sparrow]

tho for now try to at least save the shelf position

[sacred sparrow]

the position where the shelf is

[near wigeon]

OP has a lot more to learn before making such a project

[storm patio]

wonderful.

[storm patio]

first off, configure your ide 👇

[sacred sparrow]

is inventory even Serializable?

[storm patio]

!ide

[vagrant root]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[sacred sparrow]

also, right there you are just saving the inventory

[mystic rivet]

That's what I'm telling you, you don't understand

[sacred sparrow]

you have to make a separate class that contains Inventory and Vector3 position

and is serializable

[sacred sparrow]

well, don't make this game yet

[storm patio]

@mystic rivet what's the issue you have right now?

[mystic rivet]

I've been telling you for a while now but you don't understand

[sacred sparrow]

start by making small games and actually LEARN stuff

[mystic rivet]

The shelf cannot be recorded in this way. The friend is talking nonsense and says that now you are recording the current inventory as if you are kidding from two places.

[sacred sparrow]

literally just this

[storm patio]

The shelf cannot be recorded in this way.
how so? why not, what's the issue?

[sacred sparrow]

it's NOT hard

[subtle owl]

Guys chill...

[sacred sparrow]

you literally are saving just the inventory rn

if it even works

[mystic rivet]

Now, I'm going to buy a shelf from the market and put it in my own market, but after putting the shelf, register it and it will stay in my hiding place, and it will stay there when you exit the game.

[subtle owl]

#💻┃code-beginner

[storm patio]

ok, and does the shelf contain the right info that was saved?

[mystic rivet]

I don't understand

[storm patio]

you want to save and load a shelf, containing items, at a certain position, correct?

[sacred sparrow]

he sent the "Save" class above

where he just saved the inventory rn

[storm patio]

cool, that's not what i asked though.

[mystic rivet]

yes

[sacred sparrow]

oh you meant the items inside

[mystic rivet]

My friend, can you shut up?

[storm patio]

and which part isn't working? is it not being saved to json, is it not being loaded correctly?

[mystic rivet]

The correct shape is not loaded, it disappears, I write the code but it does not work

gives errors in everything

[storm patio]

well, that's quite some crucial info

that error would mean that you wrote something incorrectly in code, so nothing really works as expected

[storm patio]

have you configured your ide as described above

[mystic rivet]

no

[subtle owl]

👇
#💻┃code-beginner

[storm patio]

then do so.

[sacred sparrow]

afaik he has no save system yet

and is trying to make one now

that's what he initially asked help for

[worldly cave]

honestly after that insult idk why youre even bothering to help anymore

[near wigeon]

a configured IDE is a basic requirement to get any help for here, if they haven't configured it that is priority

[sacred sparrow]

that too, yeah

[late harness]

[sacred sparrow]

follow the exact path

it's in other settings in player

[storm patio]

in other settings

bro help me

[mystic rivet]

It can't be watched, let me send you a video somewhere so you can understand it correctly.

[storm patio]

don't reply to random unrelated messages please

i have no idea what you're talking about tbh

have you configured your ide yet?

[mystic rivet]

I did it and it gives an error but I save it as a shelf.

[sacred sparrow]

the error it's giving it's a missing import

the ide should give you the automatic fix if you set it up correctly

(if the class even exists)

[storm patio]

you need to fix that error before anything can work

you helped a lot thank you

Hey all. I am a Senior C# Web Dev that is looking to start into making a playable, shippable game by the end of the year. I wanted to know if there are any videos or courses out there (or anyone in here that would be willing to help) about proper architecture for Unity projects, and maybe some best practices on certain things that I am trying to accomplish.

what is CSG

[lusty smelt]

It keeps throwing errors when I try to select something that isn't a csg object but I kind of want to move something

[lusty smelt]

It's a package for prototyping/modeling stuff in 3d

hi, my buttons aren't getting detected OnClick() but they are set as interactable, what could be the issue?

[vivid cedar]

Do you have an Event System in the scene?

It's either not having one or something is blocking it

[flat breach]

yes I do

[vivid cedar]

Any errors in console?
Any other UI elements in the scene lower in the hierarchy?

[flat breach]

no errors and no, they're the lowest ones

[vivid cedar]

Is there a Graphic Raycaster on the Canvas?

Also does the button graphically interact with the mouse when you mouse over it?

[flat breach]

yes

[worldly cave]

do you have a debug at the top of your OnClick()?

[flat breach]

I'm not using image with any colors on it so I can't see but I guess it doesn't

[flat breach]

yup

it isn't getting called$

[vivid cedar]

Can you show us some screenshots of everything?

as well as the code

[flat breach]

yes of course

[vivid cedar]

you can test this quickly by changing thses things to something that would be visible

[vivid cedar]

your button has no target graphic

[storm patio]

aren't buttons supposed to have image childs

[vivid cedar]

does it have an Image component at all?

It needs to have some kind of graphic on it

[flat breach]

I don't want to have one

[flat breach]

it doesn't

[vivid cedar]

Make an image and simply don't assign a sprite

[modest meteor]

make an invisible one then

[flat breach]

it's not needed, I've never used em

[vivid cedar]

it needs a graphic to work

[flat breach]

it's weird, I've never used any graphics and it has always worked

[storm patio]

do graphics raycasters not need graphics

[vivid cedar]

Did you have text?

text is a graphic

[flat breach]

ohh yea that's right...

I did have text

[vivid cedar]

this is the crucial point

it works off the GraphicRaycaster - which only works with Graphics

similar to how the PhysicsRaycaster only works with Colliders

[flat breach]

I didn't know this, thank you so much for helping me

[restive wolf]

For characters in general, where should the pivot be? At the feet or center?

[violet thunder]

There's no rule for that, I prefer having it at the feet though

Simplifies stuff like spawning on a ground position (no need for offsets)

Assuming you mean a game with gravity ofc

[restive wolf]

Ye, 90% of objects adhere to gravity.

[potent geyser]

Definitely at the feet, centered.

[restive wolf]

got it

[frank vigil]

does anyone know of a creature sound pack that has these sounds? There's a bunch more of different creatures.
Usually has 3 attacks, 2 roars, 2 deaths
I know this is something related to unity, as a showcase for a package used the sounds of the dragon.

[late harness]

how can i set the jump imput? i already did the code but it says Joystick left while im on keyboard

[solid coral]

Is anyone else experiencing the bug where, when you press the Play button and then Pause, an object is randomly selected in the scene? Even if you hadn't selected anything before, or had selected a different object.

Version: 6.3 LTS - 6000.3.6f1

[potent geyser]

Yeah, that's a known bug

[solid coral]

Any solution? PLEASE D:

update to 6000.3.10f1?

[rich sleet]

when I press ESC the cursor unlocks until I click on the game window again. This is absolutely disruptive for my game testing. How do I remapp from escape to another button?

[plain dagger]

Esc will always reveal and unlock the cursor in editor as otherwise you could get stuck in play mode

No idea if this can be disabled

[rich sleet]

I don't want to disable it though, I just want to use another key instead of escape

[plain dagger]

check the unity keybind configuration?

[copper gust]

use another key in your game maybe

[violet thunder]

Shortcuts window doesn't seem to accept esc as a shortcut

Or well, it unfocuses when you try to do that 😅

Which I do expect

[plain dagger]

Seems like you have to work around this then

[potent geyser]

You can't solve Unity editor bugs, the best bet is to upgrade and hope they did. I haven't had the issue myself, so I don't know when it was "fixed".

[ocean aurora]

yo why my text doin this when i zoom out

[sacred sparrow]

i don't understand the problem here?

[ocean aurora]

the white transparent boxes arund the text when i zoomm out

[sacred sparrow]

idk that

it's very strange

does it happen in the game view too?

[copper gust]

#📲┃ui-ux

[autumn mauve]

hey is there a specific channel for askin for help with stuff in unity?

I'm relatively new to it and I'm having some issues

[potent geyser]

This entire server #📑┃channel-directory

[autumn mauve]

oh right haha

ok so basically I'm making a top down 2D. I had all my walking animations working fine for the 4 directions, but now that I've added sword animations, when my character is facing down, it just keeps looping the sword animation for that direction with no way of stopping it, even though it works fine for the other directions.

tried using AI to fix things but no luck 🙁

[potent geyser]

If AI can't solve it, then you're at a dead end unfortunately.

But also make sure your animation isn't set to be looped in the import settings of that animation.

[autumn mauve]

ah

Thanks

I guess I'll backtrack and start the animations over using a tutorial or something

but thanks

[potent geyser]

It was sarcasm, of course

It's scary that that wouldn't have been obvious lol

[stuck flower]

You can't expect people who use AI to actually have reading comprehension

[worldly cave]

we all know youre being serious, AI is infallible

[worldly cave]

"chatgpt summarize this conversation for me"

[rich sleet]

where is that?

I found something but I don't think it's it

[plain dagger]

thats it

[rich sleet]

esc is completely untouchable

well, I guess im stuck with unlocking and locking my mouse constantly when im trying to test my game 🙏

[copper gust]

try this ?

[rich sleet]

it works, its just that it's annoying

[worldly cave]

set it to the tilde key

its close enough

[copper gust]

how so

[rich sleet]

because it is?

[worldly cave]

This feels like such a non issue

[copper gust]

but if you we're gonna rebind esc on unity's end thats also 2 keys

[rich sleet]

I came here to ask if it was possible, not to be lectured that its a "non issue" or not, its a subjective thing and we came to the conclusion it's not possible to rebind the escape button, so move along with your day

[copper gust]

ok homie

[latent meadow]

if on Windows, you can use the free version of VoiceAttack to override the bind before it ever hits Unity. If on Linux, there are several ways to do it, again, externally to Unity itself.

[balmy kettle]

the more reasonable alternative to all of that would just be to rebind the in-game key to something other than escape just for testing purposes

[latent meadow]

In a perfect world 🙂

[sacred sparrow]

you can literally use a define keyword to do that only in the editor btw

[copper gust]

or just have two keys do it

[sage basin]

Does the disable keyboard shortcuts button in the game view also disable the cursor thing

I would presume so

[latent meadow]

i honestly am not sure what the end goal was. i just saw the 'impossible to rebind' so tossed out ways i use to get around that in general

[copper gust]

oh actually im dumb as fuck
cant you just bind / check on esc and set the cursor back to locked?

or does editor catch it after code

[willow verge]

hello,
i wanted to ask if someone is experienced in decoding(or how its called) and making bundles readable.

im trying to safe the assets, sprites and other types of picture related datas of an game

[copper gust]

we don't do that here, sorry

[sacred sparrow]

yeah no modding stuff here

[willow verge]

is that counted under modding?

[worldly cave]

sure

[balmy kettle]

locking the cursor is only effective when the game view is focused. pressing escape causes the game view to lose focus

[copper gust]

it's tos breaking iirc which is one of the reasons modding is banned

[balmy kettle]

modding and asset ripping (which is what you are trying to do) are both not permitted here, the latter of which is absolutely off limits

[latent meadow]

decompiling, modding and ripping are not covered topics here. see #📖┃code-of-conduct
if this is about your own game and assets, that is a bit different (talking about Packing in this sense, not Unpacking. that is never allowed)

[copper gust]

i dont think it is different

[sacred sparrow]

well, you own the right in that game tho

[copper gust]

that's not the issue

[willow verge]

oh, ok.
am i allowed to ask for a server where its allowed to ask for something like that?

its mainly about an game which many players liked playing, but got bought just to be shut downed

[copper gust]

there isn't a general server for that kinda thing afaik

[balmy kettle]

asset ripping is a form of piracy, discussion of piracy and where to get help doing so is probably against discord's own ToS

[willow verge]

ok, thanks for pointing that out to me,
sry for bothering you.

is it also against when its only for memory reasons like looking back at the assets?

[copper gust]

intent is not relevant

reverse engineering the way the assets is stored is the problem afaik

[willow verge]

then my topic is closed here.

good luck on what your doing 👋 ✌️

thanks for your time

[copper gust]

best of luck

[willow verge]

thx,
its just a very nice game which also just gets closed again

and were a small group trying to archive stuff 😅

[copper gust]

most people here are pretty chill with that kinda stuff but it's just that this is offical unity server so gotta abide pretty strictly

[willow verge]

ok 👍

[latent meadow]

perhaps talk to #🏃┃animation

[real ivy]

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right channel to talk about this, and if it isn’t I apologize in advance.

I wanted to talk about a dilemma I’m facing right now, and maybe someone else has experienced something similar.

My passion and hobby are developing video games, playing them, and everything related to this world, so I feel very connected to making games and game development in general.

I would like to create my first Steam game to publish. I don’t consider myself an expert developer, but I believe and hope I have the skills to make something small. I just want to publish it and get started. I’m not interested in money or anything like that — I would just like to build a community and start something from zero.

I’ve already worked on a few projects in the past. I’m currently attending a university where I study game development, I’ve done some things here and there, and I have at least some experience.

My problem right now is that I have ideas, I start developing something, but then I get stuck. I reach a point where I don’t know whether I should keep going, whether I really like the idea, or not.

It already happened twice that I started developing a game which, even if I had finished it, I probably wouldn’t have played myself because it wasn’t a genre I actually enjoy.

What should I do? Have you ever had this kind of problem?

Of course, you might say that I should develop something I personally like, such as a management game, a simulator, or a survival game, but I feel like those genres are quite complicated, and I’m afraid of wasting an idea on a game that might not be good enough.

Do you have any advice? Feel free to message me privately as well if you want — I’ll reply as soon as I can. Thanks in advance.

[copper gust]

make smaller games

[balmy kettle]

it sounds like you need to keep the scope smaller so you can get to the playable prototype phase quicker. then you can determine if the game is worth continuing or not. that's really the only advice, because it's also really the only way to know if it is something you'd want to continue working on

[worldly cave]

"wasting an idea on a game that might not be good enough."

this is a very interesting way of thinking a lot of people have*

the truth is, ideas are worthless in the long run

youre not "wasting" an idea if the game doesnt turn out good, consider that maybe the game isnt good because the idea is conceptually not interesting enough

[real ivy]

Thank you. I’m well aware of the importance of starting with small games — I already made one for a university exam, and I’ve worked on a few unfinished projects here and there. All of this has given me a lot of experience with Unity and with game development in general.

[real ivy]

Absolutely. I’m not saying the idea was amazing or anything like that, but my fear is that if I had a bit more experience, that idea could have turned into something really good.

[worldly cave]

dont overvalue ideas conceptually

thats my wisdom for you

[real ivy]

Thank you, I really appreciate

[balmy kettle]

i'm not saying "only make small games" i'm saying keep the scope of your games small until you have determined it is something worth pursuing. prototyping to determine if an idea is even worth pursuing is an important part of indie development because you need people to be passionate about your game in order "make it" in the indie space. but to get people passionate about it you need to be passionate about it first, and the only way to determine if that is actually the case is to test it.
if you don't like an idea, it is perfectly normal to drop it and start on something else. you shouldn't try to force yourself to work on something you don't even like for a few reasons, for one how will you even be able to determine if it's a good representation of a specific genre if you don't even like that genre in the first place, and two, why would you force yourself to work on something you don't enjoy if you aren't working for someone else?

[copper gust]

i agree with that ^ but also just making a few small games and finishing them is really valuable in understanding scope and what a releasable game (even in a super small scope) takes\

[real ivy]

I understand. I recognize that the mistake was forcing myself to keep working on something just because it feels bad to take two or more months of work and archive it as if nothing happened. I know it’s still valuable because I gained experience from it and understood my mistakes, but it’s still disappointing.

The first time, I started with an idea I really loved, but it was far too complicated for me. I scaled it down a lot and eventually reached a point where I didn’t like the idea anymore, so I abandoned it.

The second time, more recently, I actually liked the idea a lot. In some ways, I even found some of its features quite original, but I was developing a genre of game that I don’t even play myself, so I decided to stop.

In any case, thank you all for the replies, guys. I really appreciate it.

[obtuse folio]

I need help it won’t let me install unity editor

[latent meadow]

!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.

[arctic axle]

Hi there, not sure which section of the discord this belongs to, but I'll ask it here. I have a question about Unity's Version Control System and if something is possible.

I tend to make games that share a lot of mechanics, tools, asset systems, and basic assets. I want to create a base project with everything added to it so that I don't have to start from scratch every time. However, I want to be able to improve this template projects in case there are any improvements or there are any bugs.

Making this template is own project is easy and I can do that just fine. I have the first version of it up and running. However, I want to be able to spin off a new project from the template when I make a new game. I'm not quite sure how Unity's Branch System works, but every time I tested it in the past I had issues. I'd like the spinoff to be counted as its own project separate from the template.

Is there a way to do this and how? Also, unlikely, is there a potential way to make it so if certain things are updated to the template that they are pushed to the new project or does that need to be done manually?

[balmy kettle]

i wouldn't use branches for that, i'd give each individual game its own repo. just fork it or whatever the equivalent is for uvcs

[copper gust]

This is kind of a sidestepped answer to your question as it's not what your asking and might not cover all your needs, but you can solve some of this by making your own package that you can add to projects, rather than starting from a template

[balmy kettle]

or that yeah, a package for it would be convenient as well and is fairly simple to set up

[copper gust]

eg. i have one that you can see here, that just lives in a unity project inside /Packages/
all it really needs is the package.json in the root of the folder + afaik the repo name to match the folder name(?)
https://github.com/IAmBatby/IAmBatby.IterationToolkit

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🏃┃animation room, so you know

[deft shoal]

Mb lol

[woven trellis]

When do the new size limits go ineffect?

for free plan

[near wigeon]

plan of what

[woven trellis]

the 25gb and unlimited seats and all that stuff

[raven spindle]

Why do you want to do that?

[latent meadow]

this was already discussed. feel free to read the conversation. it is not allowed here.

[willow verge]

i want to preserve memories that i can look back to.

because the game from voltray got bought from montoon with the goal of shutting down copetiton.

im not saying more to it because thats my point

[willow verge]

and im respecting that.

i just wrote whats important to understand,
but im not bringing anything back up here.

[raven spindle]

Was just curious, because there are so many way's to create or get assessts I wanted to know why someeone would want to try to extract them from someone elses game. Happy it's not one of my games :).

[willow verge]

i hope that your games, when someone buys them, will still be continued

[copper gust]

nothing wrong with ripping games you own, just depends on what you do with those rips

[raven spindle]

Aaaahhh thanks you, I hope they are good enough that they do.

[willow verge]

because thats how most of the games i loves to play, some with very uniwue mechanics, went down again

[raven spindle]

Are you going to try to create similar type games?

[willow verge]

im mainly safing the grafical stuff for my own satisfaction or being able to look back at them.

[willow verge]

no,
thats not the purpose i choose to seek

that will stay on my request list to the developers,
hoping for that they will listem and make an offline version of it.

but for now,
they ignore any other messages of me sadly

[raven spindle]

Sorry, I was trying to change the focus of the conversation. You are here and learnign or know Unity right? what kind of games you like to make?

[willow verge]

tbh,

i only joined onto this server(and similar ones) to seek help.

the last think when it comes to gsmedevelopement was like 7+years ago with gamemaker8😅

my current irl focus is learning an warehouse proficiency,
around half a year left until its done

[raven spindle]

I was thinking of all the apps I learned over the years to make animations, short cinematics and kicking myself as I could have just leanred a game engine to do all of that LOL

[willow verge]

i once was a week ina company,
first day was what seemed simple coding from scratch.
i think it was something with sensor and lamps.

but i got an headache after a hit and wasnt abke to do anything anymore.

thats when i said i dont want coding to be my work proficiency😅

trying to read finished stuff doesnt seem to give me that much of an headache i found out today.
shen i tried

when i tried*

but i rather make prompts for ai generated pictures, is more fun to me

[raven spindle]

Yeah I am the same, I don't want to code for companies. I do it for myself. Manage my own deadlines etc..

[raven spindle]

yeah that is cool

[willow verge]

i sadly had an headache after 30minutes coding😅
idk if its the same today

[raven spindle]

Well game development sure has changed a lot over the years.

[willow verge]

it wpuld make lesser pain when i use some sort of building tools whenever i find interest into it again

[craggy swan]

Does unity have tcp netcode built in? im going to try to create a basic multiplayer server for a game.

[latent meadow]

yes, netcode is built into Unity. #1390346492019212368

@craggy swan

[craggy swan]

oh alright

is it good?

have you used it?

[latent meadow]

only in a limited sense. follow the provided link.

[craggy swan]

okay

[gray bloom]

i have a editor scene that have some script need attach on gameobject in the scene but script inside editor folder cant be added on gameobject and make a assembly deffinition for editor only still have this restriction, how can i turn this off

[copper gust]

you can't

[sage basin]

Don't use an editor assembly and just define out the class using scripting defines

[autumn mauve]

nah I just names my idle and sword animation the wrong way round I'm genuinely so stupid I wasted over an hour tryna mess with transitions and stuff 😭

[pastel orchid]

Hey

Is this possible to make AAA quality games in unity

Un hdrp pipeline

[copper gust]

sure

[pastel orchid]

I am beginner in unity engine

I am wanting to migrate in unity

For making large games

In the quality like God of war

[copper gust]

a single person cannot make a game like god of war

[exotic relic]

Well only half of AAA games use good graphics. The graphics don’t make it AAA.
Unity CAN however achieve good graphics.

It’s based on having a good team, good budget, quality content, and a polished setup.

[pastel orchid]

😐

I am alone bro

[balmy kettle]

it took 300 people 5 years to make god of war. don't expect to ever do that yourself

[pastel orchid]

I know I cannot develop any AAA game but I will try to make games in AAA quality

[pastel orchid]

😐

I have 3 unique idea of AAA quality games

And my dream is to making a indie studio

[exotic relic]

Pick 1. Do it

[pastel orchid]

Yes brother I will Start 1

And after that I will work on other

Actually I am currently studying in my school life but I have knowledge of c++ and java

I can also develop games and Android apps

[worldly cave]

Thats very nice, but no person alone is ever making a game close to gow

Everyone has had very ambitious game ideas, heres a tip, dont waste your time on them

[raven spindle]

Yeah, we are talking years with multiple teams of people. Even if a single person could do it all, it would take so long that it would be dated before it is ever released

[next yew]

got a dumb question for anybody willing to answer because i am just moving to unity for the first time, any chance i could get advice on how i should structure my game? As in script placement and such.

[worldly cave]

You mean like the project hiearchy?

Unity has official guides

[next yew]

oh nice i will look those up, thanks

[worldly cave]

https://unity.com/how-to/organizing-your-project

At the end of the day, its what works best for you

[pastel orchid]

Hey brother I can develop whole game alone but I will strucked in animation and timeless because I have 0 understanding about animations and cutscene

[tall hearth]

so you cant then

[pastel orchid]

I will wait start making map of my game and then I will create gameplay after that I will move on animations and cutscene

[pastel orchid]

😐

[worldly cave]

Its very obvious you are new to not only game development but perhaps live as well

[pastel orchid]

My dream is becoming a game developer since childhood

[worldly cave]

Good luck, but it just isnt attainable

[worldly cave]

Youre taking all the wrong first steps then

[pastel orchid]

😐

[worldly cave]

The goal isnt crazy or impossible

Anyone with a few weeks of experience can be a "game developer"

All it takes is to actually develop a game

[next yew]

same, gl👍

[worldly cave]

What wont make you a game developer is wasting your own time and effort on a project you cannot possibly handle/finish

[pastel orchid]

Actually I have better understanding of games I can distribute logics and other I have worked in godot , it's magic engine (custom engine) and better understanding of java

[worldly cave]

Thats good, youre still not making a AAA solo

Its not a question of knowledge

Its a question of logistics

[raven spindle]

But there are many indie devs that have published some serious games…

[worldly cave]

And the answer is no

[next yew]

Depends, making a game you like even if you cant finish it can teach you much more than making a full game you dislike.

[worldly cave]

How about you make a full game you like

Why is that not an option lol

[next yew]

Fair point

Being ambitious isnt always bad though.

[worldly cave]

It can be

It can cloud judgement

[pastel orchid]

After 1 year I will be in college and then I will start making games and I will invest 6 years on single games
