[raven spindle]

You get bored and tired of not making real progress if you are not disciplined

[pastel orchid]

But my main question " Can we develop AAA quality games in unity" because unreal engine system requirements is high

[worldly cave]

Youre best of investng 6 years building and finishing games rather than wasting 6 years on a game you will never finish

[worldly cave]

What do you think AAA means

Because i promise you it doesnt mean what you think it does

[pastel orchid]

I don't know Bro 🤔

[worldly cave]

You dont know a lot of things, but you speak with such confidence

[pastel orchid]

I am asking about the graphic like God of war , black myth wokang

[pastel orchid]

Yes brother I don't know about unity too much because I have never started unity

[next yew]

I am wondering what I am doing in this chat still, I should probably get back to learning unity lol

Cya guys

[pastel orchid]

I have not any pc or laptop I works in my phone in custom engines

[worldly cave]

Your plan is to make a god of war like game, on your phone?

[pastel orchid]

No brother

[next yew]

Thanks for the help earlier btw @worldly cave

[balmy kettle]

then you are absolutely not making any game "like god of war"

[pastel orchid]

I will start on pc or laptop

[worldly cave]

And you will never finish it

Because its not possible

[raven spindle]

There is no way you ran Unreal on your phone

[worldly cave]

Not for any solo developer

[pastel orchid]

I have learnt all the things about games logic how games work and what is actually logic behind games in my phone using custom engines like godot

[worldly cave]

Good job, that puts you 0.0001% of the way there

[slow dirge]

Graphics != AAA level game.
And yes, you can get similar levels of graphical fidelity both in unity and unreal.

[pastel orchid]

Yes bro so I have asked you about AAA quality games not AAA games

[tall hearth]

what do you mean my crap inventory i made in 6 hours isnt enough proof i can i alone can make a triple A quality game on my own :O

[slow dirge]

*Graphics quality

Game quality is not just about graphics.

[balmy kettle]

you are conflating graphical fidelity with "AAA" (which refers to the budget/studio, not the graphics)

[pastel orchid]

I can develop whole battle royal offline games with full optimized

[worldly cave]

Have you?

"I can" means nothing. "I have" does

[tall hearth]

• on a phone btw

[pastel orchid]

Not in phone brother

[worldly cave]

Yeah this guy is either trolling or way too young to be on discord

[pastel orchid]

But using some custom engine I can make

Bro I can bet you I can develop

[tall hearth]

then do it and stop talking to us

[pastel orchid]

Even I can develop a low end game engine

[slow dirge]

Show us some of your released projects.

[tall hearth]

you know prove your claims

[pastel orchid]

8j my phone

I develops Android app in my phone

[raven spindle]

Godot may run on your phone but Unity won’t

[pastel orchid]

Using Android ide and I have learnt about games in godot and in its magic engine

[pastel orchid]

Yaa so I will migrate on unity for my long term project

[worldly cave]

Which is a triple A god of war inspired game

Yes

What a subtle shift

Not taking any risks i see

[pastel orchid]

No brother my game is not inspired by god of war I am asking for the graphic of god of war

[worldly cave]

Ah of course

How foolhardy of me

[next coyote]

good luck trying to get unity to shit out anything that looks and runs anywhere nearly as good as modern GoW

[pastel orchid]

My game idea is unique and I am not alone some unity developers supports me

[worldly cave]

Oh im sure they do

[tall hearth]

onto a separate topic the game arknights endfield released recently and i heard they used unity but modified it to use ECS for everything as the building blocks instead of unity's normal monobehaviour system. I was curious what they meant by modifing it though like did they actually change the source code or just implement their own assets to use?

[worldly cave]

Probably just packages

I highly doubt they got the source code

[pastel orchid]

Brother I have developed some games in my learning ways I can show them to you after learning about games engine i develops libraries of custom game engines

[balmy kettle]

it is possible to buy a license that grants access to source code to actually modify the engine

[raven spindle]

If I make small quick games, mini games, something publishable within a few days to weeks. Where do I publish those?

[worldly cave]

Is it?

For a price really?

[worldly cave]

Probably itchio

[raven spindle]

Oh right I forgot about itchy.io

Thanks

[worldly cave]

Itchy 😭

Bro its not a rash

[raven spindle]

Oops typo lol

[tall hearth]

careful with releasing games it makes you sad 🥀

[balmy kettle]

yeah, it's enterprise license only and requires contacting a unity sales rep directly to negotiate the terms/pricing/etc

it's not something that just anybody could get access to, but it is possible

[worldly cave]

Yeah of course

[raven spindle]

Want to release just for the bragging rights, money and traffic will be a later focus

[worldly cave]

But the fact they were even selling it to begin with

Kinda crazy

[pastel orchid]

And brothers I have a last word for you , you are those guys who cannot develop a single games 🙂 , and bro telent more than scale

[balmy kettle]

read-only access is easier to get, but still requires enterprise or industry license
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/10033669359124-How-do-I-purchase-read-only-source-code

[raven spindle]

Is that with any marketing ?

[tall hearth]

cant guarantee how good an idea this is not certain how itch handles recommending games im sure actual marketing is better than nothing so make sure you're atleast slightly ready before releasing

[tall hearth]

nope none at all as idk how to none of that

[raven spindle]

Same, but I will worry about that later too lol

[slow dirge]

Why? Unreal source code is very easy to access, so why would it be crazy to access unity source code?

[worldly cave]

Idk i always assumed Unity was very protective of it for some reason

Assumed as in for no real reason

[tall hearth]

i kinda assumed the same (for the same reason, of no reason)

[worldly cave]

I guess theres not a single major engine that hasnt lisenced the source code to someone else

Even a lot of in-house engines

[tall hearth]

only ones i guess i could think of are the ones that arent publicly available like roit game's and rockstars in house ones

[worldly cave]

That could change

[minor gull]

Can someone convert a file to a more universal file type? I’m on iPad and can’t download blender

[copper gust]

you can ask in a more relevant server

[fair cove]

Its unlikely someone will do work for you, and im sure there are lots of free apps and online tools for that if your unable to use certain software, or as Batby mentioned, theres probably servers more specific to that, but if its a 3D model, theres a good chance the app you built it in probably has export options

[stoic steeple]

Hello 👋. forgive me if this is not the right channel for this. I just joined. But unityhub logged me out and I can no longer log in. Like I get redirected to my browser and log in but it never logs me into unityhub.

For reference im on linux. I was able to install and log into unityhub perfectly fine earlier today. then it randomly broke.

[slow dirge]

Maybe look for clues in the editor logs.

*hub logs.

[latent meadow]

probably best to talk to the #🐧┃linux room. of course, check the logs as mentioned

Figured it out. My OS's keyring system somehow turned off. And it prevented my browser from sending over the login credentials to unityhub

[tacit crypt]

Hello guys, how do I solve this problem? The class name are the same, yet I keep getting this error notif.

[balmy kettle]

https://unity.huh.how/script-loading-issues

[maiden escarp]

Im new to this and very confused, Im looking for help with this... basically if the light is that color I want the game to end. the player turns the light that color in another interaction

ik im doing something probably obvious wrong i just dont evne know

ive tried plugging color equals into if and it doesnt work ofc

[balmy kettle]

why do you need to check a light color rather than just flipping a bool to true when the light's color actually changes in the first place?

[maiden escarp]

because i actually need a bunch of lights to turn green and its not in a particular order, but I need to figure out how it works before i can add in the other ifs

[balmy kettle]

that still doesn't mean you can't just use a bool instead of checking the actual color

[maiden escarp]

the lights are originally a different color so they will have had to change color? I guess im not sure what you mean of how else i could check if everythings done

[balmy kettle]

something changes those colors. why can it not also just flip a bool? that would be much easier than checking equality between colors. and more accurate.

[maiden escarp]

i guess idk how bc all the colors are changed in different ways

[balmy kettle]

whatever changes the color can also flip a bool. it's literally that simple

[maiden escarp]

all 10 lights are flipped by different scripts

i have no idea how to merge all of that into one

[balmy kettle]

i never said "merge all of that into one" but whatever

[maiden escarp]

im sorry i appreciate your advice im just new and struggling to understand what you mean

[balmy kettle]

what i mean is exactly what i said. you can make each individual light have a bool that is flipped when it's color is changed to the correct color. have whatever is changing that color also flip the bool. then you just check the bool on that component for each light instead of checking the light's color. that's it.

[noble saffron]

Idk what should I ask in vfx channel because I wanted to put a attack vfx for character sprite's attack animation

[daring needle]

hello

I'm using HDRP > Realtime GI lighting of unity
But the indirect light leaks through walls

how can i fix- any solution?

[dusky forum]

https://youtu.be/K3-wPnhmDi4?t=3027
The video gives a demonstration

"Light leaking

[daring needle]

Thanks, but this solves Light Leaking, and the problem im facing is with Indirect Light Leaking

and im not even using Probes, just relying on Realtime Enlighten GI

[noble saffron]

Like I want to put some vfx to character's bundles and then time it to trigger when during skill attack animation

[reef dome]

For such a basic task you should look around in

[livid wagon]

Hey, I don't know where else to put this question, sorry if it's wrong here.

I'm pretty new to unity and wanted to setup version control. Now I'm getting an error that the repository can't be created in unity hub. And when i got to the VCS repositories page the "new repository" button is greyed out and not clickable.

I'm owner of the organization. Is there something I need to do first?

[reef dome]

Does the error say anything more than "cant be created"?

[livid wagon]

"There was an issue creating the organization or repository. Please try again later"

That's all I get

[reef dome]

can you maybe create it through the web interface and then just connect to it?

Otherwise I would encourage to learn git, its nice for learning development in general and only runs into trouble if you have big files later

[livid wagon]

No I can't do it using the web interface. Button is greyed out for whatever reason. And it's telling me only organization owners or members with devops seat can create repository. >> I'm organization owner so no clue why that doesn't work

I guess I could setup git with git-lfs but I specifically wanted to try out VCS 😅

thanks for the help, i guess i'll just go with git

[ocean pumice]

you sure, you are in a) the right dashboard and logged in as the right user?

[ionic crystal]

unity support has ignored me for like 3 weeks now and i am lost

it randomly took away my free personal licence and won't let me add a new one

i unistalled it and reinstalled it twice but it still refuses to let me have one

[livid wagon]

Pretty sure, I only have one organization and only one User (which is displayed as Owner in that organization)

[ocean pumice]

And you are trying to create that repo where?

[livid wagon]

https://cloud.unity.com/home/organizations/<orgid>/projects/<projectid>/plastic-scm/repositories

[ocean pumice]

And the +new button top right is greyed out? Do you see yourself under administration => Members with the right role?

[livid wagon]

yep it's greyed out.

this is on the members page

I don't have any roles though

[ocean pumice]

What do you see under devops?

[ionic crystal]

btw what do i GENUINELY do here?

[livid wagon]

yea that's what's weird. On the project overview in the Code Reviews and Storage used per repository Widgets it's telling me to start a free trial or subscribe to unity devops. Then i click on that and it's telling me "This organization already has this product"

[ocean pumice]

Did you clear the cache for the dashboard just to be sure, nothing is weirdly messed up in the UI

[livid wagon]

Just tried that, doesn't change anything. Also logged out and logged in again for good measure

FWIW

Also seeing these errors on the organization overview

[ocean pumice]

Aynthing weird under User Permissions?

[ocean pumice]

Did you check the websites account info, if there is something written there?

[ionic crystal]

just said contact support

[livid wagon]

where do i find the user permissions?

[ocean pumice]

Thats what the website said? Like in your unity ID website?

[livid wagon]

Don't have that

[ocean pumice]

hm, so you are somehow missing a seat. thats wird. What does repositories website say under VC?

[livid wagon]

That's how it stays forever

[ionic crystal]

oh the ID site

it says i still have a seat for my licence but the program refuses to acknowledge that nor let me add a new one

it is genuinely necessary for my college education to use Unity

i haven't had access to it since the 9th of last month and the course only has 3 and a half weeks left

[ocean pumice]

The program, you mean unity hub? What happens when you open hub licenses and just hit refresh?

[ionic crystal]

deadass nothing

[ocean pumice]

You got the latest hub installed? There was a recent update

[ionic crystal]

i hit agree to the conditions for the licence and it just brings me back to a licence screen where i do not have one

[ocean pumice]

Are you logged in as your organization top right?

[ionic crystal]

reinstalled it twice and one of those times was today so i assume so

but like if i fail college because unity refuses to work i will be so pissed

[ocean pumice]

raging wont help the situation. I can understand it, but try to stay focused on solving the problem the best way you can. You are just using a free license, right? no special edu thing

[ionic crystal]

just a free licence

[ocean pumice]

do you have the license key somewhere on the UnityID website?

[livid wagon]

yea, looks like it at least

[ionic crystal]

is this not it?

[ocean pumice]

and under administration - subscription, there is somethign showing up? I can only try to figure out, as I am not on a free license, so things might look a lil different on your side

[livid wagon]

yea, Unity DevOps subscription

[ocean pumice]

Hm, interesting. For me its my Unity industry license.

[ocean pumice]

can you try to open this link? does it show your serial (do not share it)? https://id.unity.com/en/serials

[ionic crystal]

it's asking me to give it one so nah

[ocean pumice]

I am not sure if its allowed, but I would create a new account until your issue is resolved.

If a new account is also not working, you might have some issue with your college network/vpn or whatever infrastructure is happening on your side

[boreal river]

Why?

I am trying to build my project files

[ocean pumice]

Unity bug. Reopen hub and the project usually fixes this for me, if it happens randomly

[boreal river]

Thank you!

[ionic crystal]

i'll try that but i do know that i

don't have a VPN
tried on 3 seperate networks

i'll get back to you

[livid wagon]

I just created a new organization and have the exact same problem there. I'll just use git, thanks for your patience

[ocean pumice]

Ah dang, that is super weird. Last resort, did you try another browser? But besides that, yeh, too sad I could not help. Best of luck that it fixes itself.

[livid wagon]

Yea tried edge, chrome, brave and firefox 😄

[ocean pumice]

last idea I got is downloading devops/plastic scm and try to create something from there. But if its an unity API issue, that wont help

https://www.plasticscm.com/download

[indigo sierra]

Is this new in Unity 6.x?

[ocean pumice]

are you in debug mode?

[indigo sierra]

no

[ocean pumice]

Sure? 😄 that looks exactly like debug mode

[indigo sierra]

haha yes I am sure 🙂

[storm patio]

what version are you on?

[ocean pumice]

Interesting, did that just happen after install? Might be more recent unity 6.x than I am using. I would actually like it, but looks to me like a hickup

[indigo sierra]

I started the project in Unity 6.2 (HDRP17). Suddenly the transform switched to this layout.
I had to make an upgrade to 6.3 because of crashes (insufficent RAM).
The layout however still look the same

[ocean pumice]

I am on 6.3 too, not showing it to me. Reopen the Editor, does it persist?

[indigo sierra]

yes, a few days already. PC already shut down, etc.

Sry, if my topic hijacks this talk thread. I'll better open a help thread for this

[ocean pumice]

Nah, nothing hijacked here 😄 the license issue might continue later or not

[ocean pumice]

Did you also reset the layout just to test? No errors in your console when opening the project?

And what exact version of unity is it? 6.3.10?

[indigo sierra]

did not solve the issue

[reef dome]

Does look a lot like a custom inspector that you have installed through some package

[ocean pumice]

true, that could also be

[indigo sierra]

it is 6000.3.10f1
but the original version was unity 6.2 - the issue occured in the former version

[reef dome]

does that also happen if you create a fresh project?

[indigo sierra]

Thought about that too. But I am not aware of custom editors/assets which lead to this...
However I better tripple check it

[reef dome]

Otherwise check your code for [CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(Transform))]

or something along that line

[cursive ermine]

Hello, anyone here has some experience or is learning how to do grid turn based games? I'm looking for some guidance 🙏

[reef dome]

Please ask your question directly, instead of asking for someone who could answer questions

[cursive ermine]

I want to learn how to do 2d grid maps on unity and general stuff about their logic. But the first problem Im having is finding a source that teaches how to do it without a procedural generation. I want to learn how to use the grid and tile system within unity. Any recomendations?

[reef dome]

!learn

[vagrant root]

There should be some content for it in that link, otherwise youtube is always a good source

[cursive ermine]

I've been looking for it in youtube, and havent been lucky with my search. Ill check what you send me, thanks

[indigo sierra]

so I created a new project and.... it is like usual. Weird.

It should be a custom layout by an asset. (Now the question how to finde this asset -.-)
However thanks for your suggestion

[reef dome]

I cant imagine there is nothing about the tile system on youtube, you cant search for everything at once, break your task down

• Learn tile system
• Learn procedual generation
• Learn how to combine the two

[reef dome]

Look for Any [CustomPropertyDrawer...

can just do a global search

[cursive ermine]

Got it, and I meant without procedual generation 😅 , with, there is plenty.

[indigo sierra]

...found it. ScaleReferenceTool 😄

Thanks for your help 🙂

[reef dome]

so it had a custom inspector? 😄

[cursive ermine]

hello, is there a way to make so the tile looks in accordance with the grid of unity? right now is in position of 0, 0 but it doesnt look as such (unity grid itself)

[storm patio]

that's at 0,0

the gridlines are at integer intervals, so the line in the middle of the tile is 0, the line to the right/top is 1, etc

seems like the pivot for the tile is at the center, so the center of the tile would be at 0,0 when the transform is at 0,0

you could change the pivot so the tile fits in between gridlines if you want, but the "center" of the tile would then not be at 0,0
that's not bad, just a different thing
which one you want is up to you

[cursive ermine]

I kinda understand what you are trying to say, but i have to give it more thought, thanks fellow pekora enjoyer. I think like this is ok, just gotta change my mentality of 0,0 tiles != 0,0 array and unity transform (?)

[storm patio]

yeah just keep in mind that the grid lines there are like a graph grid, not a tile grid

[lofty barn]

i want help for these errors in my game

[storm patio]

there's definitely a case to be made for having all the tile pivots at the bottom left for coordinate management purposes, or you could also use a proper Grid/Tilemap component, fyi

[lofty barn]

sorry if they are alot but its been 8-7 months i cant do anything

asking everybody i hope u are my only choice chris

[worldly cave]

Is this code you wrote?

[storm patio]

sounds like a missing package

[worldly cave]

This looks like decompiled code from a game that used a package you dont have

[lofty barn]

thank u for telling me but what is the package i need

[worldly cave]

"GorillaNetworking"

[stuck flower]

Start at the top. The first one is missing the steam works package. Go get it, then see if any errors are left

[lofty barn]

ok wait a sec

less errors now

good right???

what next now

[potent geyser]

The next top error, which is still saying you're missing Steamworks.

The real question is, what is this project, and what are you even trying to do?

Because clearly this isn't of your own making.

[lofty barn]

i am making gtag copy which is Gorrila tag copy

[worldly cave]

Nothing but net

[potent geyser]

I figured that much. How did you get this code?

[lofty barn]

it was ready from the template i used its self

[potent geyser]

You and every other person is making a "gtag" copy. There must be tutorials out there you can follow.

[lofty barn]

i did follow them

[worldly cave]

There is no official gtag source code, its all decompiled

There is for the movement at least

But not the entire game like this

[lofty barn]

but before these errors came i was doing well

when i went to fix servers

getting codes from other people and ai and discords

it got like that

[worldly cave]

[lofty barn]

yeah i know i am dumb

[worldly cave]

We cant actually help you

Because its both a waste of time for us and because the rules of the server dont permit us to assist with modding and decompiled games

[lofty barn]

can i atleast dm u the codes and u try fixing them or something

[worldly cave]

No

[lofty barn]

ok

i am quitting i dont understand anything bye thank u for trying

i hate evrything

[flat breach]

hi, I'm getting this error as what the scene isn't in build profile but it is in it

[storm patio]

and is there a trailing space in that scene's name?

[stuck flower]

Sanity check: try restarting unity.

[storm patio]

(just use scenereferences to save yourself the headache tbh)

[flat breach]

there was indeed one lol

tysm

[flat breach]

I already did and it didn't change anything

[storm patio]

@flat breach check this package out

[stuck flower]

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't stuck compiling. If there was a space at the end, that would definitely be the problem

Mine was just a "let's do this now in case it turns out to be the problem and save some time"

[flat breach]

ty, I'll use em now, it's much easier

[flat breach]

yeaa of course bro, ty for helping me

[pseudo harbor]

Just out of interest, is there a way to compare two different Unity versions and what has changed between the two without digging up every single changelog between the two versions?

thank you!

[errant edge]

help me in recovering in my unity projects data

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! Is there a way to copy paste a copmponent or component values from my other unity project and just paste it on the new one

Its a particle system basically

[sacred sparrow]

make a prefab

and copy the prefab file

[boreal river]

oh because if I copy my game object it wont right I have tried and it didn't work

right?

[sacred sparrow]

you might have to copy the scripts and all files required

• maybe the meta files too

[vivid cedar]

export the object

[sacred sparrow]

or that

[vivid cedar]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetPackagesCreate.html

[flat breach]

hi, not an issue at all but what is a stamina/breathing system in a game? Is it something that makes the player slower and plays breathing sounds when he’s low on stamina(which lowers when the player runs or sprint)?

[sacred sparrow]

it is what you decide it is

[boreal river]

Yeah thats possible

[flat breach]

but what is generally?

[sacred sparrow]

well, it changes game by game

[flat breach]

this seems to be a common used system

[sacred sparrow]

every game does things differently

[flat breach]

do you have a game in mind which implements this?

[sacred sparrow]

well, all the ones i know, lol

[flat breach]

could you give me one that I could check out please?

[sacred sparrow]

the most basic stuff i saw nearly every game do is consuming stamina while running

and maybe use a burst of it when dashing

[flat breach]

yea I feel like that's what I'm gonna do too

[storm patio]

they emulate what happens in real life when you run out of stamina or breath

[flat breach]

got it! ty.

[wild geyser]

Is it possible to have a doorway that when opened shows the inside of a building in but that interior is its own scene entirely

[sacred sparrow]

just copy the scene content from the other scene in a random place of your scene

and then use a render texture

or

just make a screenshot from the other scene

and put it as an image

there are videos on how to do "portals" too

[wild geyser]

Portals?

[sacred sparrow]

i mean that the render texture changes the angle based on how you look at it

so it gives an illusion of a 3d environment behind it

where it really is somewhere else entirely

[lofty barn]

can anyone help me with my gtag copy errors

[modest meteor]

why is everyone making gtag copies

[lofty barn]

i dunno

[storm patio]

if it's based on a decompiled version, we can't help you

[deft rock]

Lack of imagination and originality, coupled with a young attitude (they're all kids) wanting to replicate something they love and possibly a naive hope to replicate the success and get some dollar bills, mixed in there too

[tall hearth]

Cause the children play the game, go "wait if i made a game like this i could make a bunch of money" then go to google and search "how to make gtag" and get results which include the game assets then come here as they never learnt how to code expecting the perfect answers

[undone nova]

how do yall feel ab 3d clones of getting over it or other rage games

[sacred sparrow]

waste of time

[undone nova]

3d versions look kinda wack

[sacred sparrow]

unless you change it in a significant way, it's basically the same thing

[undone nova]

true I'm just wondering if any new mechanics would work better in faux 3d with a fixed perspective or true 3d

[storm patio]

3d rage games already exist

if you just clone them then there's not much novelty?

[undone nova]

yea i guess i worded my question wrong, I have a concept for a game similar to getting over it/ a difficult game ab climbing, I just don't visualize the core mechanic working well in that fixed perspective

[stuck flower]

Examples: Curiosity, Get To Work, Chained Together, Only Up, arguably PEAK

Like, it's not a rarity. There's tons of 3D "Getting Over It"-likes

[undone nova]

nice nice, yea this is a defined genre

Im playing the demo for flipping is hard, it has good mechanics that take time to master

[fluid shadow]

guuuuys I am loosing brain cells by the second
I am trying to get the cardboard VR thing in unity following this article : https://developers.google.com/cardboard/develop/unity/quickstart
and after almost a week of working on it I had a grand total of 0 successes
I keep trying to build the scene to try it on my phone but it just refuses to work

please help me with this problem

[woven trellis]

Has storage-gb-hours increased at all with these new tier changes?

Could you find what's wrong in this picture ?

[stuck flower]

Ah, found it, there should be context, but you haven't provided any!

[potent geyser]

Personally, I think what's wrong in this picture is your choice of layout.

[topaz crown]

not really, that's just how i like it

[topaz crown]

it's something you use all the time

[stuck flower]

If you have a question, you should ask it.

[remote needle]

that couldnt be any less helpful

[topaz crown]

no it's not just look at my screen

[modest meteor]

0.59x game screen scale

[topaz crown]

seriously

no body noticed it. Where is the play button

[remote needle]

if only we had context of what the actual issue was 😱

[stuck flower]

Hidden. Which, since you never mentioned it, no one had any way of knowing whether that was intentional, because the rest of your layout apparently was.

So, maybe don't try to play 20 questions and just ask your question

[topaz crown]

that wasn't a question

I know how to solve the problem

You're just mean

[remote needle]

i dont think you know how to ask for help correctly

[worldly cave]

I told you we cant help with decompiled games

[dense coral]

Anyone have any ideas for a PS3 style game?

[steel thicket]

hi guys! im quite new at unity, im trying to make a prototype for a 2d shooter, nothing too fancy, and now that i have tackled some stuff i want to ask, how do you make a map? i have read a bit about tile maps, but in reality i dont know what stuff i can try, any tips?

[storm patio]

gotta start with what kind of map you want to make, and go from there

tilemaps would work if you want to use tilemaps

[storm patio]

-# that was sarcasm, mate

[frozen notch]

dang it

[frozen notch]

Have you tried essential pathway?

it explains how to make 2d games, scripts and a lot of things

[steel thicket]

nope, didnt know it existed, thanks mate

[topaz crown]

no it's literally unity talk

[woven trellis]

What does this mean:
100 GB free Egress/month,

Im a bit confused.
Is that the storage-gb-hours?

[storm patio]

what's the context for this

[woven trellis]

The new pricing changes that went into effect today/yesterday

What’s changed starting 3/1:

    No more per-seat charges for Unity Version Control seats in our public cloud
    Lower Standard Storage pricing and the introduction of Egress as a standalone meter
    100% Egress discount for all customers during the March and April 2026 billing periods (the first two months this pricing change goes live). Charging for Egress will start in May 2026.
    Bigger free tiers: 25 GB Standard Storage per org/month (up from 5 GB, retroactive), 100 GB free Egress/month, Unity Editor Concurrency increased from 1 to 2
    Included monthly compute minutes: 200 Windows Minutes (Micro), 100 Mac Minutes (Standard), 100 Linux Minutes (Micro)
    Clearer billing and names: Storage and Egress measured in GB (monthly-average storage), flat-rate Unity Editor Concurrency, and standardized Minutes tiers

[vivid cedar]

"egress" means "data leaving storage" basically

so - anything you do to retrieve the data

[woven trellis]

Hmm..
Last month I got a warning that i hit 75% of my unity devops storage due to my storage-gb-hours
Im just hoping i dont get nailed with fees for my little indie project

[hard parcel]

what IDE people use more for unity c# scripts ? is it vs code, visual studio? rider ?

[craggy pollen]

all of them

[balmy thistle]

mostly personal preference. Find what's comfortable; they are all free for non-commercial use (although vs code is free for any purpose)

[radiant pewter]

any tips on stopping navmeshagents from twitching rapidly when they walk into eachother?

[vivid cedar]

I use a combination of Rider and Antigravity these days

[balmy thistle]

I personally use VS 2022 because I am used to it and I have no issues

[hard parcel]

well i want to write an extension for for my reactiveuitoolkit framework, that parses the code and color it correctly as i added a new roslyn layer. either way for visual studio this proves very problematic, while for vsCode it took few hours.

so i am trying to figure out if its absolutely require to waste more time to write the extension for visual studio and rider..

[craggy pollen]

you could reduce the collider on the navmeshagent to prevent them from colliding with each other

[radiant pewter]

I tried that already, and they just straight up walk into each other, get stuck for a while until they are told to go to another path

[gray frigate]

Agents should have collision avoidance enabled by default

[radiant pewter]

they do, but that mainly works for static obstacles

randomising avoidance priority seems to have helped a little bit

If you want to save data you can prefab it at runtime

yeah you have to copy the values

Assets keep data outside of the scene, so prefabbed items will keep it.

[analog pebble]

Hi all, I’m a relatively fresh game dev, looking to work on my skills in level design/environmental design and put a portfolio together. I’m curious if using a pre-made/store bought asset pack was a frowned upon thing when it comes to beginner portfolio projects?

From my understanding, with portfolios it’s typically about the working process just as much as the end result, but if my focus is more so on developing the logistics of the levels I design, would using assets made by others be a bad look?

[copper gust]

it's not a bad look no, though for level design specific pieces a lot of your stuff is probably going to be greyboxing

[analog pebble]

Ahh okay, I figured as much, most of my experience up til this point is primarily design sketches and greyboxing, but i figured it would be a nice touch to use assets to make a more complete piece, but I wanted to ask around and make sure I wasn’t shooting myself in the foot in doing so, thank you!

So I had some NLA strip animations imported with an FBX, but the clips generated from it are apparently marked for deprecation now. It doesn't let me mark it as "Legacy" even in debug mode which I assume has to do with it being embedded, but that's its own issue. I wanted to ask, if that's deprecated now, what's the recommended workflow for importing animations?

[runic parrot]

i want to build a 2d game in netcode for gameobjects but i dont want to bother with lobby building and networking is there a prebuilt template

[naive cloud]

How do I send my unity project to my teacher with it working properly?

[runic parrot]

you can make a build such as .exe

another alternative is to make a webgl and upload to itch.io or unity cloud

does your teacher want source files

[naive cloud]

not sure, im sending both the build and the project file for testing

tried once on another computer and got like 30 errors

[runic parrot]

what you can do is delete the library file and use github desktop and push it to a repository, it's what i usually do

[runic parrot]

kinda like this https://github.com/Syrdr/Tag-Platformers-Unity

[worldly cave]

use github

[uncut parcel]

I don't think it liked me forcing the animation type in the meta file.

[stuck flower]

This looks like your GPU is dying

[uncut parcel]

Idk wtf is up with it. My GPU is fine but the editor has become pockmarked ever since I did this

[copper gust]

its snowing ❤️

[onyx shale]

yikes

[golden crane]

you can take screenshots of gpu dying ? isnt that only on the monitor ?

[stuck flower]

If it were the monitor dying, you wouldn't screenshot it

but the GPU is the thing that renders graphics

Meaning it also renders the screenshot

[worldly cave]

what do you think your monitor is connected to

[golden crane]

i just didnt know if a gpu dying would show up as a screenshot, it could be just its output to the monitor thats broken

i guess not-
idk how gpus die exactly

[storm patio]

and what content is put into a screenshot

[golden crane]

okay okay i get it ;_;

[uncut parcel]

I'm wondering if it's because I need to update my drivers or something

it's doing those artifacts on both monitors as well

not when Unity's closed though

why mark the traditional animationclip workflow as deprecated anyways 🤔

[worldly cave]

it could just be the editor

its notoriously stupid sometimes

have you updated it recently?

[uncut parcel]

yeah just a few days ago

it's version 6000.3.9f1

should be the LTS version

I think editing this one meta file corrupted the editor somehow

[deft rock]

LTS is just long term support .. you would hope that's stable, but, it's not really until many patches later.

and certainly doesn't mean bug free

[polar basalt]

are you on windows 11 by any chance?

i mean it could just be unity

but if your gpu is dying, it may not be your gpu

i had some issues like that, and since i upgraded from 11 to 10 i have no issues

[uncut parcel]

well my computer just locked up and had to be hard restarted so it might be GPU or driver-related after all

[polar basalt]

what OS are you running tho?

[uncut parcel]

Win10 pro

[polar basalt]

hmm okay

[uncut parcel]

looks like NVIDIA rolled out forcing people to use the NVIDIA App instead of Geforce experience so that could have been the cause

[rich valve]

its probably not the right channel but guys i have a github project for my unity game but i delete .git file by mistake and then i create new one THE QUESTION IS i am not able to compare and merge with main anymore because different history these files have any idea?

[vivid cedar]

and then i create new one
How did you do that?

You ran git init again?

[rich valve]

yep

[vivid cedar]

Well.. you created a mess certainly

[rich valve]

:(

[vivid cedar]

Have you made commits since doing it?

If not, you should be able to do this:

git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main   # or origin/master, or whatever your branch is```

If yes, then you need this:

git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
git fetch origin
git merge origin/main --allow-unrelated-histories```

[rich valve]

i made atleast 2 commit on 2 different branch

but maybe more than 2 because i am tried to fix it with AI and i just copy paste what it said but not work

while doing it i might create bigger mess aswell i have no idea rn

[uncut parcel]

All due respect but fair point of advice, don't rely on AI to write code for you

[rich valve]

i never use AI to write code only for github because i am new at it and dont know how to use it

[stuck flower]

Here's my idea:

1. Move the folder somewhere else
2. Delete the .git directory of the new one
3. Re-clone your actual one
4. Paste all your changes over the new clone
5. Commit it again

[vivid cedar]

That's an option too

you will lose a little commit history though

if you don't care, that's a pretty simple approach

This assumes your local version of the project is what you want to become the canonical version

In any case copying the folder somewhere else as a backup is a good first step to make sure you can always go back if you mess something up

the git merge origin/main --allow-unrelated-histories is really the only canonical and git-ish way to do it, it will fully preserve all your commit history from both repos (technically they're separate repos because you did git init again)

[rich valve]

[gray frigate]

I've seen that kind of problem on my Mac

some scene gizmos cause really funny artifacting

[granite lava]

Can't ScriptableObjects Serialize C# classes? Say I have this

[Serializable] public class AI { }
[Serializable] public class DogAI : AI { }
[Serializable] public class CatAI : AI { }

public class Animal : ScriptableObject
{
  [field: SerializeField] public string Name { get; private set; }
  [field: SerializeField] public AI Behaviour { get; private set; }
}

I want to create Animals and then give them C# classes through the Inspector, is that possible? I couldn't get it to work, the Inspector is not serializing the class field.

[copper gust]

No that should work, might not show because there's no fields in AI?

[gray frigate]

You'll need to use SerializeReference to get what you want here

This behaviour isn't specific to ScriptableObjects

[copper gust]

I can't do a good job explaining it but just as a sidenote at some point you might want to/need to look into the difference between using SerializeField and SerializeReference in relation to base classes

[gray frigate]

Unity will only serialize the fields of AI, no matter what kind of object you actually assign to the field

SerializeReference has a few consequences:

• Instead of directly storing the serialized data, it stores a reference to a separate blob of serialized data
• Unity remembers the type name of the object that was stored in the field, which allows it to remember that you had a CatAI or a DogAI
• Unity no longer provides a default property drawer, so you need to provide your own

(there are several packages that provide a decent default property drawer, allowing you to pick a type and then displaying its fields)

[copper gust]

Unity no longer provides a default property drawer, so you need to provide your own

what do you mean by this

[gray frigate]

If you add [SerializeReference] to a field, it will no longer show up in the inspector

[copper gust]

not true

[sage basin]

(unless a value is already assigned)

[gray frigate]

oh right

that's what it does

(which is basically the same thing for most use cases)

It'll display the property drawer for the currently-assigned type, but it won't let you change the type

(and if the value is currently null, you get nothing)

[copper gust]

Depends tbh, i've had about equal amount of usecases

[granite lava]

Hmm, is this why it's showing the name of the field but not a space for me to actually drag and drop the reference?

[gray frigate]

You cannot drag a reference in here

References are made to unity objects

[copper gust]

you cannot drag and drop base classes

[gray frigate]

AI is not a unity object

[granite lava]

[gray frigate]

what do you want to actually do?

are you trying to refer to components here?

if so, then AI should derive from MonoBehaviour

if not, then there is no object to reference in the first place

notably: SerializeReference only permits references within the same Unity object

[granite lava]

Let's say I'm creating items, they have names, rarities, and a BehaviourScript that's unique to each item
I want to create these scripts and then just throw them in there
I know it can be done cause I've seen KiwiCoder do it on his BehaviourTree tutorial but it wa through code that he would create the ScriptableObjects and give them the classes
Or were the classes also ScriptableObjects? That could have been the case

[gray frigate]

I'm guessing they were also ScriptableObjects

[copper gust]

ah right, this is kinda a thing unity sucks at

[gray frigate]

which is a kind of Unity object

and thus you can assign a reference to it

See https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/SerializeReference.html for more information on how the attribute works

Notably...

The managed references are not shared between other UnityEngine.Object instances. If you assign the same custom serializable class object to fields on two different host objects, the serialized references will become separate instances. In addition, if you clone a host object with managed references, this also creates separate copies of all the managed reference objects.

[copper gust]

There's ways you can do this via base classes but yeah i've prefered a workflow in which you make a class deriving from scriptableobject per unique script and then make 1 scriptableobject asset per script

[gray frigate]

So, you could have a MonoBehaviour or a ScriptableObject (both of which are kinds of Unity Objects) that contain many serialized-by-reference C# objects

These objects could refer to one another by reference

[granite lava]

So, can I just create a ScriptableObject class and throw Behaviour inside of it, like a Finite State Machine, have one script like that unique for each item and it's all good?

[gray frigate]

However, these references could not cross over into another Unity Object

[gray frigate]

indeed (or just make the Behaviour a kind of ScriptableObject directly)

You have two options:

• A single "Behaviour" ScriptableObject. It uses [SerializeReference] to store a C# object that implements your game logic
• Many "Behaviour" ScriptableObjects that derive from a single abstract base class, which direectly implement your game logic

[gray frigate]

Both of these cases assume that you will frequently want to re-use the same object in many places.

If you do not anticipate this, then it makes more sense to directly store the C# object in a [SerializeReference] field

[gray frigate]

it's important to understand the distinction between "Unity Object" and "C# object"

• A "Unity Object" is something that derives from UnityEngine.Object. Its lifecycle is handled by the Unity engine. You can assign references to these in the editor, and they can be stored as assets.
• A "C# object" is any type (everything derives from System.Object). Unity doesn't necessarily care about this type at all. You can't store this as an asset or assign a reference to it in the inspector.

[granite lava]

I actually don't, it should be unique behaviour for each item
Btw it seems I can't drag the actual ScriptableObject Script, so I have to actually create the ScriptableObject as a ScriptableObject to make the reference I guess? That's not really what I wanted lol

[copper gust]

If you do use scriptableobjects a really nice workflow is using a Script Template which is a .txt file in /Assets/ScriptTemplates/ that lets you define a template, like how unity's scripts start with awake and start. I had one setup like this

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

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "#SCRIPTNAME#", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/Moves/#SCRIPTNAME#", order = 1)]
public class #SCRIPTNAME# : MoveData
{
    public override IEnumerator OnActivate(MoveInfo moveInfo)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        EndMove(moveInfo);
    }
}

[gray frigate]

assigning a reference to a MonoScript asset does not make sense, yes

Each class you define will be a certain kind of behavior

[onyx stratus]

please someone help me with my netcode issue in #1390346492019212368

[gray frigate]

You can then create instances of that

For example

[copper gust]

Yeah you'd have to make 1 asset per script. It's a weak point of Unity but imo still the ideal route

[copper gust]

they know

[gray frigate]

[CreateAssetMenu]
public class LogBehavior : Behavior {
  public string message;

  public override void StartBehavior() {
    Debug.Log(message);
  }
}

where Behavior is an abstract class that inherits from ScriptableObject and has an abstract StartBehavior method

[gray frigate]

You usually want some kind of configuration for the behavior, so you'll wind up with multiple assetes for each type anyway

(e.g. the message in the above example)

[copper gust]

Depends on the usecase

Mine did not

[gray frigate]

If you genuinely have no need for configuration in any situation, then you should probably just use non-Unity Objects in a [SerializeReference] field

because that means the assets are pointless

it's a meaningless layer of abstraction

[gray frigate]

and, really, even if you do need configuration, you still might use [SerializeReference] and non-Unity Objects

[copper gust]

the assets are a nice way of drag and drop type selecting, and in the event you want to reference other unity objects

[gray frigate]

it depends on whether you expect to share anything

[gray frigate]

and in the event you want to reference other unity objects

What does this mean?

[granite lava]

I don't really want some kind of configuration for the Behaviour, each item should have one unique behaviour, that's it. Maybe there's a better solution to my problem. I'd have several items and having to throw all of them on the menu and then create them manually one by one so I can have one instance of each sounds kinda weird

[copper gust]

eg. sprites

[copper gust]

it is weird, but still potentially ideal

[gray frigate]

I don't see how this is relevant. A plain old C# object can have fields that point to Unity Objects.

[copper gust]

there's ways of automating it but that's a whole other thing

[gray frigate]

It sounds like you're suggesting a situation where you could store either:

• one of your "Behavior" ScriptableObjects
• some other Unity Object

[copper gust]

yes but this is also being shared between different things

[gray frigate]

but this means the field's type must be UnityEngine.Object...

[gray frigate]

if you require sharing, then ScriptableObject is the way to go, 100%

[granite lava]

What are you talking about, didn't you say I couldn't serialize non unity objects?

[gray frigate]

I said that the [SerializeReference] field itself cannot be used to store a reference to a Unity Object.

public class Foo {
  public Sprite sprite;
}

this is perfectly legal

(actually, did I even say that previously? it is true)

[copper gust]

feels like this might have been a bit overcomplicated

[granite lava]

I want to create multiple of these items and then link a Behaviour File through the inspector
I was just thinking maybe ScriptableObjects would be a good fit to store these items as

[gray frigate]

that will work fine, then

Batby, please stop giving me random negative reactions instead of actually addressing me

it's kind of frustrating

if you want to refute something, then refute it

[copper gust]

i was waiting in case you we're continuing to type

docs say serializereference can store a reference to a unity object?

[gray frigate]

It cannot.

Must not derive from UnityEngine.Object. For example it cannot be a GameObject, MonoBehaviour, ScriptableObject or Transform.

The point of [SerializeReference] is to be able to:

• use polymorphism
• ...on non-Unity Objects

(that's one major point, at least)

[granite lava]

Yeah, but the current solution still doesn't look ideal, having to create a BehaviourScript : ScriptableObject and then an Asset for said Script just so that I can asign it to the Item Asset

[gray frigate]

Here's an example from a proc-gen system I built

[copper gust]

there is not a fantastic solution to the problem your dealing with

[gray frigate]

the system revolves around "sources" of values

e.g. a source of a float

I can pick a LiteralFloatSource or a UniformRandomFloatSource or a DistanceFloatSource

FloatSource is an abstract class, and those types all inherit from it

I can pick a type and then configure it in the inspector

Notably, since these are not assets, they can include scene references!

That's a huge weakness for ScriptableObjects – they're assets, so they cannot point at Unity Objects in the scene

I use ScriptableObjects for things that need to be shared, and I use SerializeReference for things that only make sense in a specific in-scene (or in-prefab) context

(e.g. , entry 1 in that list points to a specific Transform in the scene)

[coarse horizon]

hi, does anybody know how to fix this problem when trying to install the editor? thanks

[ripe walrus]

Just received this email: 😮
Anyone has more info ? I have not seen any news about this anywhere

Important Notice: China-based assets being removed from the Asset Store on March 31st

Hmm, I'm not currently implementing it right now, more so doing research before doing it, maybe it's not really what I want, I'll see if I can just use plain C# classes for the items then, thanks for the info, I'll check this SerializeReference thing later to better understand what it does, thanks guys

It would be nice if Unity had an offical solution for a kinda scriptableobject where 1 asset is made per deriving type

I got only this. That explains a bit. but it still quite sad news.

[latent meadow]

It is impossible to comply with Chinese Communist government Cybersecurity Law and overreach, and at the same time, U.S. laws (and overreach). they are contradictory. China will get the Tuanjie Engine, and Unity is trying to sell their Chinese division off, from what i have seen.

[sonic sparrow]

Clicking the link to see which assets of mine are affected lists thousands of assets instead of just the ones I own. There's no easy way for me to search through the literally hundreds of assets I own to determine which are on that list.

[latent meadow]

that is unfortunate. i own over 10000 assets, and am about to go see. they are going to Have to streamline that. (Vast majority are just the freebies, but still)

[sonic sparrow]

I'm hoping a bad db query

[latent meadow]

honestly, not a damn thing i can do about it, so for sanity's sake, i may just wait and see.

link comes up 'not secure' (not https) so i won't follow it anyways. personal preference.

[vivid cedar]

Yeah I was trying to check which of mine were in the list but gave up. Someone should write a script 😛

[jagged needle]

anyone know how to fix compiling scripts running backend? its on that screen for like 2 hours

[gray frigate]

at that point the editor has to be deadlocked; i'd just kill it and reopen the project

[jagged needle]

ive tryed that

im on 2022.3

[gray frigate]

so, after killing the editor and reopening the project, it's gotten stuck again?

[jagged needle]

yes

it does not open the project it just stays on that

and it happened when i installed the xr plugin

[gray frigate]

i'm not aware of anything like that caused by the XR plugin, but I could believe it

i'd kill unity again, then delete the Library folder from the root of the project (it'll be in the same folder as "Assets" and "Packages")

this will force unity to reimport everything and reinstall your packages

this won't remove any actual project data

(it will forget which scene you had open, though)

[jagged needle]

ok i will try it

[tall hearth]

had my dyslexic self thinking you made and published 10k + assets

[latent meadow]

i wish!

[tall hearth]

me too, yet im not sure how to even create one ~_~

[latent meadow]

not much different than making things for yourself. then you just have to 'package' it. I would not try to explain, but a few videos should help

[gray frigate]

the asset store distributes .unitypackages, which are pretty much just a fancy zip

[latent meadow]

lots of rules go into the layout though

[gray frigate]

for the asset store in particular, i imagine

yeet EVERY single asset directly into Assets/

good luck

[latent meadow]

lol

[gray frigate]

name them all !!!!!!!!!!!!Foo so that show up at the top of the list

[latent meadow]

so wise, it's scary!

[tall hearth]

alright another thing i was wondering recently is big games like the gachas have their data in packages instead of just all in the asset folder when building to make it easier to update (only needing to reinstall the set packages and not the whole game) what is this called in unity or how would i do this myself?

[last mantle]

assetbundles, probably?

[tall hearth]

i think so from what i had googled before but i couldn't find a nice way to create them

[nimble furnace]

hey guys currently trying to work on a game here. was wondering if anyone cann give advice on where to start like do i start with making the gameplay or menu etc im very new to this

[tall hearth]

thank you it seems helpful

[gray frigate]

you generally want to start with the core gameplay idea

If you're brand new, then use that Learn site to figure out how to use Unity

[gray frigate]

if you have experience but aren't sure where to start on a whole game, then this is applicable

[nimble furnace]

im trying to create a silent hill resident evil type game kinda mixing gameplay between them

[jagged needle]

it worked! thank you

[gray frigate]

nice (:

the Library stores imported assets, compiled shaders, etc.

it not-infrequently winds up corrupted

My game has soulslike-ish combat as well, and I ended up having to hack a hybrid root motion system in, because I didn't use it from the start.
This causes all sorts of trouble.

[boreal river]

32 bro

[violet thunder]

Profile it

[boreal river]

I think I figure out the issue

when I disable the collision module it doesn't reload all the time but when I have it enabled it does

Isn't it weird?

[worldly wind]

The hierarchy isn't working properly. When I select an object on stage, the hierarchy doesn't select it. Actually, it does select it, but if it's a child object, I can't see this selection; it doesn't open automatically.

I didn't know how to explain it

[ocean pumice]

Looks to me, like your 3rd party package is overriding the selection and directly going into that IK script mode?

[worldly wind]

This applies to all objects, not just the IK package.

[ocean pumice]

Are you using any package for the hierarchy to hook into?

[worldly wind]

Yes, vhierarchy 2. I haven't tried disabling it. I will try

Unfortunately, has not been resolved.

[ocean pumice]

Try to disable the new hierarchy layout and test again

Also be sure to restart unity when doing changes to test

[worldly wind]

The new hierarchy is already disabled, I restarted the editor now.

[ocean pumice]

Ah okay, so the lines background color came from your package, got it

[ocean pumice]

Id try a fresh project without any packages just to be sure, the interface works. Also try close and reopen the hierarchy and see, if that triggers something in Unity to reinit

[latent meadow]

you can always try deleting the Library folder before a new project.

[ocean pumice]

Not a new project for the current one. Just an empty barebone one to test the unity UI

[normal tide]

update
False texture match fix — the "base name contains texture name" path in both FindTextureByType and FindTextureByDirectName now requires the candidate texture name to be at least 80% the length of the material base name before it's considered a match. e.g. "water" (5 chars) is only 50% of "watermelon" (10 chars), so water_albedo is rejected. "watermelon" itself (exact) or "watermelon_old" (prefix) still match correctly.

Shader graph materials in Material Finder — ShouldIncludeMaterial previously classified any shader named "Shader Graphs/*" as a URP shader. Now a shader graph is only considered URP-native if its .shadergraph file lives inside Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines. Everything else — S_Foliage, S_Assets, S_Props, etc. — falls into the custom shader bucket, so "Find Custom Shaders" in the Material Finder will now pick them all up.

[worldly wind]

The issue is caused by vhierarchy 2. I'm now certain of this. Disabled vhierarchy 2 and restarting the editor fixes it.

[latent meadow]

deleting the library is generally tried before a fresh project. both are valid, in the end.

[ocean pumice]

Maybe check if there is an update for the package or disable meanwhile until they catchup with whatever unity changed

[worldly wind]

Yes, I will do that, thank you.

[normal tide]

the script itself is in #1179447338188673034

[ocean pumice]

But deleting a library for a big project can result in a big time loss reimporting everything while creating a new empty project takes like 1 minute.

[crisp phoenix]

what exactly is happening to my rendering here

why is it deepfried

[gray dirge]

What render pipeline? Any special effects? Custom shaders? Which post processing effects are active? Definitely not supposed to look like that. If you make a simple example scene with only some basic models, does the same happen?

[crisp phoenix]

URP, just started happening randomly, yeah every new material or object created has it, even the preview.

its only in shaded mode though

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I can't really understand when we use the planes type and world type in collision module. I mean what is a plane its a 3D object right that I know from Unity the primitive one right or its something else because I am reading the documentation and I cant really figure out when we use the planes type because it has to be an empty object and where exactly it must be placed or whatever I cant understand at all. I know that world type let the particles to collide with all world game objects that they are collding with right but what is the plane type.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Plane.html

thats what I was reading but still cant figure out why and how you know very confusing.

It requires a transform but what

Its very confusing

[crisp phoenix]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/particle-collisions.html

[boreal river]

Yes I read this bro

I cant understand how its possible for it to be empty

What is the plane?

with what exactly my particles will be collided with when using planes

not here bro

[crisp phoenix]

@plain shadow

[boreal river]

Therea er million other servers for work

[grizzled trellis]

ok

[ocean pumice]

It say, GPU is dying

[crisp phoenix]

no cause games work, unshaded works, other projects work, its just this project

[ocean pumice]

Back from the times of overclocking 20 years ago, this happened when the GPU ran into its limits. So maybe your project pushes your GPU to its limits?

Like overheating for example

[crisp phoenix]

its just simply lit materials lol

[ocean pumice]

what is your GPU temp and usage in windows when your project is open?

[crisp phoenix]

well.. i use intergrated gpu

im on a laptop

[ocean pumice]

an editor can be more demanding than runtime games. Id check the GPU values or CPU if its builtin your chip. Maybe also update your gpu driver and restart, see what happens

[gray dirge]

That indeed looks like something that could happen due to GPU issues, but of course there are other possibilities. Especially if very similar projects work without issues, it could just be some sort of weird bug. You could file a bug report and see if it results to anything. Driver update would be good thing to start with, it could be some very specific bug in some specific graphics API that only happened in some edge case.

Could in theory be a unity issue, but definitely looks more like something wrong with the GPU/driver

[ocean pumice]

yeh, those artifacts happening I never saw in different scenarios than the GPU failing for whatever reason, most of the time overheating or power delivery issues.

[crisp phoenix]

its never happened before

and it works in other more demanding projects

[ocean pumice]

You got obvious issues on your gpu. for whatever reason. As said, try to check on temperature, update drivers. There is nothing we can do from here til you made sure, your hardware is running correectly on that specific project

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! Why I see my rain particles inside the house? I mean I set mesh collider and box collider on the roof but I still see some particles passing through my roof.

[crisp phoenix]

i cant check temp its integrated into my cpu

this on another project using urp too

[ocean pumice]

I am sure you can check the temp of your cpu then. And probably the load on the GPU with some tool

[ocean pumice]

you really compare two dummy characters with a full game world scene?

[crisp phoenix]

yeah but the full world scene is a model from the wii console from 2008, it barely has any triangles

its not even the project its the scene, another scene from the project

[boreal river]

Why guys?

[ocean pumice]

ah, now we are getting closer to relevant details. So it is only one scene?

Do the artifacts change when disabling enabling meshes?

[crisp phoenix]

yes

let me check

nope

[ocean pumice]

Why not. You might have your origin shape of particles spawn particles missing the collider because they spawn inside

[ocean pumice]

do the artifacts change when you disable the maincamera?

[crisp phoenix]

i dont have a camera lol

[ocean pumice]

oh, its just scene view?

[boreal river]

No I dont think I have

[crisp phoenix]

yes

[ocean pumice]

and game view? What does it look like?

when adding a camera

[boreal river]

maybe its because my rain is too fast

the speed

[crisp phoenix]

looks the same

[ocean pumice]

If you isolate the particle system, are you sure ALL particles are spawning inside your shape? If yes, than yeh, your rain might be too fast and the calculation of positions might skip a frame.

[lofty barn]

can anybidy help me with these errors dont worry they are not decompile

[boreal river]

So do you think I have to reduce simulation speed or which property ?

[lofty barn]

but i cant create key in the keystore manager why

[gray dirge]

@crisp phoenix Do you have any post processing effects active? If it only happens in one scene, I would start by disabling everything until you find what's actually causing the issue. The material preview being broken is quite suspicious though

[lofty barn]

anyone plz

anyone

[storm patio]

you have not provided any useful info

[crisp phoenix]

ill check

[lofty barn]

i cant create keys in my game in unity it just doesnt work

create keys from the keystore manager

[ocean pumice]

and how are you trying to achieve this?

[lofty barn]

I’m using unity keystore manager to generate a new keystore file for signing my Android build. Im creating a new keystore generating a key alias inside it and configuring it in player Settings so I can sign the APK AAB for release like how

[crisp phoenix]

nope

[ocean pumice]

#📱┃mobile should be the channel to get the right answer

[lofty barn]

but i wanna upload on xr so vr

[remote summit]

hello i need a little help with smth i have many Toggles that im using as checkbox but i can only have one selected at a time. i saw in internet the problem is they in the same toogle group and that i should put them in none? but they are alreayd in none it seems

they are specifically in None (Toogle group) by default

[ocean pumice]

you can ask in vr or xr too, but that android signing will most likely be answered from mobile devs, I assume.

[lofty barn]

ok thank us so so so so so much

[boreal river]

@ocean pumice I think that was because I had medium collision quality because when I change it to high it works. I think thats the reason.

The only difference between Medium and Low is how many times per frame the system is allowed to query the physics system. Low makes fewer queries per frame than Medium. Once the per-frame budget has been exceeded, only the cache is used for any remaining particles. This can lead to an increase in missed collisions, until the cache has been more comprehensively populated.

[ocean pumice]

Ah yeh, been some time since i worked with shuriken. Glad you found it! 🙂

[boreal river]

and on low and medium for one reason it says static colliders

what does it mean?

[ocean pumice]

that your colliders are not allowed to move

[gray dirge]

I think static collider refers to object that has no rigidbody in it. Not sure if kinematic rigidbody fall in that category

[boreal river]

No I mean in high collision quality my particles doesn't pass through my roof mesh collider but with med and low they are passing.

[ocean pumice]

is your roof mesh gameobject static?

from the docs "Note that this setting is only suitable for static colliders that never move."

As the docs also state, setting it to high will always use the physics system to reiterate over collisions, why the medium and low system will take all static colliders, cache the information and always reuse that information. so no need to reask the physics system if they collide or not at those positions.

[boreal river]

yes my roof is static

So I can just fix via code

right?

[gray dirge]

Even when everything is set, the cache is just an approximation for the collision surface so mistakes can happen

[boreal river]

so in this case what I have to do

lets say I want to use med and low

not high

[ocean pumice]

What are your current collision module values? https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PartSysCollisionModule.html

[gray dirge]

Tbh I would be bit cautious in relying on the particle collisions for rain, also the amount of particles you need could eat quite bit of performance. If using VFX graph was an option, I would consider that. If you need many buildings that need to be clear of the rain particles, it could get complicated, but with only one house, you could just use single Collision Shape Block (with Oriented Box or SDF for more complicated building shapes)

[ocean pumice]

what type of collider is your roof? You could increase it technically to give it some padding to check on, if possible.

[hybrid oyster]

What's an acceptable Minimal Viable Product for an RPG that'll eventually become an MMORPG (hopefully) to try to get some funding in order to potentially hire a couple people?

Like obviously having your Stats, maybe a ghetto looking UI and the overall alpha combat or something right? Or is there an earlier stage that i can garner some support for because I am brand new here and I'm going ham with this Data at the moment

[ocean pumice]

Not really a Unity question and also absolutely out of scope for a simple community chat room id say.

[boreal river]

Its a mesh collider and check what it says

On documentation I found it

[hybrid oyster]

well it's about Unity, I'm on Unity, i'm making it in Unity lol yah know?

[vivid cedar]

Don Draper could get funding for a game with just a slogan and a single still concept image.

[ocean pumice]

your question could be adapted to any game engine or even haptic games... If you got a good idea and profound layout of what your player loop will cover, you could get funds without a single line of code. But most likely, you got to have a vertical slice of your mechanics to show to someone so they understand what is happening and why they should play your game.

[hybrid oyster]

fair but they also might have credentials... my credentials is "some guy" doing this thing that he doesn't know how to do hahaha

[hybrid oyster]

ahhh okay okay i understand what you're getting at... i mean i'd just try a kickstarter but i think for that you gatta show a bit of something

[ocean pumice]

you would not convince me with saying, you dont know what you are doing. Id start developing some skills before even thinking about getting funded by whoever

[hybrid oyster]

but i see what you guys are saying... I think i'd probably have to have at least an "Arena" where you could fight mobs and be able to have like a DevAlpha multiplayer where you can fight each other tbh

[hybrid oyster]

Yeah i mean i'm not talking about funded funded funded... I meant more like enough to get a couple people who know what's up and guide me through this

[ocean pumice]

a couple people are funded funded funded, even one is already.

[hybrid oyster]

because i've been asking AIs like endless amounts of questions... endless endless questions, have them give me example

and I'd rather ask the AI about the next steps of where to go and then have a dude who is like alright i see what you're saying...

Cuz right now i'm just doing all the Data but it's set up that i could have hundreds of Attributes/Stats or w/e and it's getting to the point where i'm going to need to start like having the things do the things or w/e

at the moment im making Scriptable Objects to start having the structs pseudo-constructed or w/e so i can mess around with them but i feel like i absolutely to some Fireballs and Fireblasts like asap but it's so much it's alot

[ocean pumice]

and eventually you learn, that AI is not going to replace your lack of skills and knowledge. It can help you, but not guide you without any knowledge at all. You should start developing your own knowledge and if its not about developing, you should get into the game design/concept world and read about it, make yourself simple cardboard games to test out and learn how games are actually being created. Learn about iterations, learn about the costs of "just one guy". If you have a solid mechanic sheet / layout, you could check on collaboration websites/communities to get other people in and work together. But before you dont have a good game design doc or anything to present that stands out without visual support, noone will fund your project.

[gray dirge]

That is to be expected with cached collisions (medium and low). If the frame budget of queries is exceeded, it uses the data from earlier collisions, if there is not enough information, particle will go through where collider should actually be

[hybrid oyster]

okay okay, i feel it.. Well i've primarily been asking it about the generalized structure and stuff, ive ended up rewriting alot of my stuff because it went from like generic entries into each struct to now im using NativeArrays and enums as IDs and the current Buffer i have for my DerivedAttributes i can make so many of them like endless combinations basically... So i was just curious like at one point could try to get some help LOLOL

I think when my taxes come in ill see about getting some of the Unity peeps on the site to help me and maybe they can guide me into learning directives as well

[ocean pumice]

you are throwing words together without a plan. For a game idea it is not relevant in the first place, how you create it technically. If you never tested your mechanics in the most simple version and found it fun, you can stop there and reiterate, because having millions of attributes and combinations is not gonna make your game fun in the first place. all those idle games have massive amounts of repetitive combinations that just keep adding up. So my suggestion and last word is, before even starting to pay people by expecting funds, learn about game design and test your game with friends in a simple environment, does not have to be digital in most cases.

[hybrid oyster]

alright, im still gunna see about getting a guy to help me with that stepping stone but yeah that playing with my friends and forcing them into my RPG to test it with me was already a plan hahaha

Well i do have a design plan, Path of Exile/WoW/Invictus/BDO

[ocean pumice]

Ill give up

[hybrid oyster]

if that's how you feel, i appreciate your time though. Thank you very much for your insights, don't worry im taking the courses and stuff as well alongside it and watching some C# stuff off and on ive just been doing this in between

[ocean pumice]

I feel like you are running into the big dream trap without having the needed capabilities for it. But I hope for you, I am wrong and you just gonna achieve the next big MMORPG which stands out

[hybrid oyster]

Me too bro me too... but yes i need to start small but i also need to build towards the fundamental structure for it... but yes i do know i am overhead in general even before leaping into that large swimming pool

My whole thing tho is idc if i have to run the server at my house and only 100 people play a month... I just have to do it. I want to create something and play something I want to play yah know? There's a bunch of niche MMOs out there

[gray dirge]

Particle collisions likely if not directly based on, work similarly to raycasts, thousands of them a frame would become quite heavy to process. How many particles are you expecting to be alive at any moment? With high quality collisions, you may need to start worrying about performance. There probably isn't much you can do if sticking with Shuriken and collisions. VFX graph is the other option but also has it's limitations

[full ingot]

Hey,
Is the behviour tree / Blackboard tool a finished tool to create AIs or did Unity abandon it please ?

[sly lake]

Alright, I'll be that guy then;

You sound like you're in way over your head. You do not want to start a multi-year software project at this point. Focus on learning how to make and ship games, using projects you can comprehend.
Development is not the only hard part, project management will also hurt you.

[dry ruin]

does anybody know where i could find a group of beginner game developers where we can collaborate on a game together

[sly lake]

Abandoned

[sly lake]

Not here. GDN has a channel for it. See my badge.

[full ingot]

Thanks 👍 Is there another tool to replace it or do we have to write our AIs all in code ?

I'd recommend just doing it in code. You can use the blackbox / behaviour tree pattern without the visual tool.

based on your console it looks like it probably has to do with whatever this "saved" and "loaded" system you have is

[sly lake]

That looks like it's purely a bug in your code, rather than Unity.

can someone help me with Toggles? the Is On attribute works well but i dont know how to make it change from green to red and from red to green depending on if its On or not

I have this rn but the Toggles are always green

[vivid cedar]

but yeah, you fix it by fixing your code

[mystic rivet]

It doesn't work exactly where I saved it, how do I fix this?

[vivid cedar]

by fixing your code

[mystic rivet]

Red is wrong, never mind, I'm not saying that

[silent mica]

Debug your saving/loading code to see what it is doing with that object.

Could've sworn they were deprecating the whole AI tools thing at one point

I save something but it is loaded somewhere else, not where I saved it.

You use the "Toggle transition" settings at the bottom

I believe it was part of a bigger set of GenAI tools at some point, but it has been separate for a while.

As part of the Muse product sunset, the generative AI features have been disabled.

is there a help channel?

sry but how i use transition i can only put Fade or none. Do i have to write a script for On Value changed field?

cant do it in inspector?

[white stream]

Not sure where to post this, but would love some feedback on the UI for my build mode, trying to avoid big tooltips while keeping it readable and simple to use

[vivid cedar]

Fade and then put the sprite you want to fade to

[latent meadow]

you can make a #1180170818983051344 and ask there..

is there a spot for modelling help?

I have it on fade and what i have to change is Graphic?

[latent meadow]

Unity is not modelling software, per se, so not really. in the #🔎┃find-a-channel there should be #🔀┃art-asset-workflow , but the above link is the best if you are asking actual modelling questions

[limpid hollow]

i meant to ask if blender is good for map making

does it cause lag

[sly lake]

No. It has no prefab system

[vivid cedar]

the checkmark for example is what will fade in and out when it's selected. So you can basically put a red Image on top of the background image

and it will fade it in and out

[latent meadow]

in general, maps are collections of smaller assets/models. make those smaller models in blender and the 'map/landscape' in either terrain making software or in Unity itself, and populate it with the smaller props/trees/etc @limpid hollow

i suppose that yes, blender could make the landscape, technically, too

[sly lake]

As for performance issues, copy/pasting a rock 200 times in Blender will give you 200 unique rocks as far as the engine is concerned

So yes that’s less performant

[vivid cedar]

this is sort of like asking if a paintbrush creates complicated paintings. It can create anything. Simple. Complex. Large. Small

It's a tool

what you do with it is up to you

[limpid hollow]

i wanted to recreate some maps i made on roblox as a kid on unity but i never truly done anything fancy in unity
a friend told me i could port my roblox map into unity via blender but i don't wanna tank the performance of my project

[sly lake]

Try it and see

[vivid cedar]

Are you using version control?

Start using version control

then stop being afraid of experimenting

[limpid hollow]

what is version control if i may ask

[latent meadow]

source control, GitHub, Unity Version Control, etc

[sly lake]

It allows you to save different versions of your project as you work, so you can always roll back later

It's standard practice in software development

[limpid hollow]

oh can anyone link me the unity help page for that

also doesn't github have a file size limit?

[latent meadow]

personally, i got fed up with deltas, so i have some scripts that make copies of things when i run it, but only things that have changed. source control in delta form it 'better' but i prefer this route. i work alone, so it does not matter as much

[latent meadow]

that is asking too much. do use google.

[sly lake]

It does, yes. You can use Unity version control instead

They just made it free up to 25GB

Which is after heavy compression so that's a lot

[limpid hollow]

i apologize

[sly lake]

Easily a 50GB asset folder

[fleet tiger]

Can caching be turned off?

[tulip panther]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my 3D project and my model with the "character controller," and I think it's something really stupid. Would anyone mind joining a call to help me?

[latent meadow]

also, you'd generally not be sending your large art assets, unless you need to, just the scripts and such

And, if you are so inclined, you can run a Git Repo locally, on your own HDD

[sly lake]

Nah, assets should be versioned too

[latent meadow]

as with many thing, it dependsm i suppose. i was about to edit it to say 'unless you need to' 🙂
