decal is easy to find, usually you will find it easier if its an SVG and convert it to png w transparency

[blazing depot]

not that hard

[pale remnant]

Hi here am new here

[pale remnant]

My name is feg from Nigeria a game programmer

Ooh,then wat this space for

[main chasm]

i dont know

[near wigeon]

see..

no its still a decal

just need to give a good looking shader

[near wigeon]

any water shader will do

[blazing depot]

do u have one in mind?

[main chasm]

hi he is saing for asking but they needed to start yelling at me for question beacous it had more than 6 words so they are calling this guy idiot like straigth hour so i cant help you

[near wigeon]

if only used the one build in HDRP

[blazing depot]

oh im using built in

[near wigeon]

reading comprehension is your responsibility. No one was "yelling" at you .

[main chasm]

Hi so i have my game and for the third time my game crashed and wanted me to go to safe mode and i couldnt do anything there, so i needed to exit and i lost everithing, but this time i just lost and hade red all my blender models and i dont know how to prevent this, the game is going to more important in this phase.

okay so i am not sure if i debuged it rigthly so if somone could help me

[near wigeon]

I mean yeah if you grab a shit one with barely any reflectivity or transparency its gonna look off

[blazing depot]

i found one

im setting it up

[near wigeon]

pretty much this ^

[blazing depot]

can you guide me like baby in vc pls

[alpine comet]

Is there a showcase channel

[storm patio]

those under #502171491438428181

post in one of those channels, not multiple

[storm patio]

we don't have VCs here, sorry.

[blazing depot]

ooh i found this

[storm patio]

it would kinda negate the benefits of having a community server

[alpine comet]

There isnt a channel like that tho

[near wigeon]

yes...#🏆┃daily-win | #1180170818983051344

[alpine comet]

Sory they weren't on my channel list

[worldly cave]

project showcase is a category

[timber hearth]

added

[worldly cave]

ok

[fleet canopy]

other than the fact you should post this in #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344 , be careful when using IP that isnt yours.

if you dont plan on doing anything more with this other than a silly project then it's fine tho

[timber hearth]

it aint being public

its just a personal thing im working on to test my skills

[vivid walrus]

Does anyone make gorilla tag fan games bc my dev he needs help with a loading screen if anyone can help u can just dm me!

It’s hard to make a loading screen

[violet thunder]

Your dev? 🤔

[vivid walrus]

Yea me and him work tg

[near wigeon]

modding isn't really something we help with

[vivid walrus]

No it’s for a game

Not mods

[near wigeon]

lay off the brain rot and make your own creation

[vivid walrus]

Ur not listening

I don’t mod

[near wigeon]

so google any "unity loading screen" you get plenty of resources

[violet thunder]

Also how is the loading screen specific to gorilla tag

Wouldn't any loading screen tutorial work?

[blazing depot]

can u send me the unity_package of that puddle?

[blazing depot]

black screen with loading text in the corner 👍

[worldly cave]

Is it a fan game based on the gorilla tag code?

or is it built from scratch

[blazing depot]

im going to make the layout first thank you tho

[thorny raptor]

Hello, I have a problem. I’m making a 2D game with a moving camera, but when the camera moves, the pixels at the edges of my sprites are flickering.

[storm patio]

are you using a pixel-perfect camera?

[blazing depot]

damn you active ragdolls

[worldly cave]

do you need help with something?

[blazing depot]

yeah i guess

[worldly cave]

ask away

[timber hearth]

how do i add a skybox instead of solid colour

[worldly cave]

whats the question

[blazing depot]

the hip doesnt follow the player

[gusty abyss]

making my first unity game with barely any experience..trying to get my mouse cursor to lock in the middle and be hidden but getting this error:

[timber hearth]

@worldly cave dude i have been also you dont need to be rude

[worldly cave]

did i say anything that was rude...

[timber hearth]

when i showed the video earlier u just went ok

thats rude

[worldly cave]

because this is a help channel

[timber hearth]

yes and im asking help and all u did was say google

[worldly cave]

can you share the script?

#💻┃code-beginner

[blazing depot]

here

[worldly cave]

step one of asking help here is googling first

and when you google "unity custom skybox" you get a million results telling you how to add your own

[gusty abyss]

you shouldnt need the whole thing i dont think but heres the cursor bit anyways

void Start()
{
    Cursor.visible = false;
    Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
}

[timber hearth]

and I DID THAT

thats what am saying

[blazing depot]

nope

[worldly cave]

well our answers wont be any different than the ones you find online lol

[blazing depot]

not necessary

[gusty abyss]

is that a downloadable or just a library like using UnityEngine

[worldly cave]

its a library

youre better off sharing the entire thing imo, in #💻┃code-beginner

[storm patio]

do you have using UnityEngine

that is an assembly, not a namespace

[worldly cave]

youre right

im looking at it rn

[gusty abyss]

yeah i do

[storm patio]

let's continue in #💻┃code-beginner

[thorny raptor]

yeah

[storm patio]

how is it set up?

[brisk anvil]

Is there a way to edit the create / right click menus?
I want to remove items

[thorny raptor]

@storm patio

result

I'm doing everything as told, but I can't get rid of this jittering; I'm about to go crazy.

As someone new to game development, is this a common problem?

I would be very grateful if you could help. @storm patio

[storm patio]

disable upscaling render texture

also that's a very odd reference resolution

[thorny raptor]

I chose a resolution that divides exactly into 128 parts.

I'm trying every way.

[storm patio]

but it does not multiply cleanly into common monitor resolutions

[timber hearth]

ive tried to change to skybox from soild color to change it but when i play and move the camera around it goes all weird

[thorny raptor]

Pixel art game is really tough, man.

[storm patio]

are the objects moving here, or the camera?
also is it using Update or LateUpdate?

[thorny raptor]

Camera, Late update

[upbeat vault]

Guys, I want to make a game because I need a ready mold, is it possible?

[near wigeon]

I need a ready mold ?

[upbeat vault]

Two

[worldly cave]

what

what is a ready mold

and why do you need 2

[upbeat vault]

Template

[worldly cave]

you want a template for a game?

go to the asset store, theres plenty of those there

[thorny raptor]

Or are slight pixel flickers normal?

[upbeat vault]

Yes

[near wigeon]

if you have no experience is going to be very difficult using those

[worldly cave]

yeah even those require some intermediate knowledge of unity

[upbeat vault]

Free ?

[worldly cave]

sometimes

most of the time they are close to 100+ dollars

[worldly rain]

Does apple seriously gatekeep their App Store publishing to only Mac’s?

At this rate I’m not even gonna bother with mobile anymore

[plain dagger]

Yep, you either rely on tools that may work to compile ios apps on windows, buy a mac or use a cloud build service to do it

[worldly rain]

Sad world

[exotic relic]

Maybe, but can't blame them. You would need a console for console games, pc for pc games. Apple keeps their platform safe with their own OS and signing system.

[plain dagger]

Apple dont want to make xcode for other platforms because money/control

[exotic relic]

You could see it that way, but it is also safer this way, there is a lot less ransome apps on their store

[near wigeon]

run OpenCore. Problem solved

[plain dagger]

Right I guess scammers cant buy macs or rent one to build apps?

Oh wait i forgot you cant write naughty code on a mac /s

[exotic relic]

Apple puts you through a strict process to sign the app and then they manually test your app. Android uses a bot to test the app and the bot approves it too

[plain dagger]

so whats that got to do with me using a mac to build the app and upload it?

the signing process is done by a program that just happens to only exist and work in mac os

[exotic relic]

Them having that control is good

[plain dagger]

you can think that. I dont like it myself

[exotic relic]

It would be nice if xcode worked on windows, yes. I can just understand why they would keep all of their software in their circle

Getting a macbook is cheap though, if you plan on doing lots of apple development its a good move to grab one.

[plain dagger]

me and my collegues all work on windows pcs and we have a mac mini just to build the app

[near wigeon]

dualboot into hackintosh. its not rocket science 🤷‍♂️

[plain dagger]

well its certainly closer to it than normal

[near wigeon]

worked for me b4 i got a mac. these days its even easier

the only thing you need to pay is the 100 yearly fee

[exotic relic]

I honestly went through great lengths trying all of that before buying a mac myself and they've found their ways to make it troublesome that way. It is well worth upgrading to actual mac

[near wigeon]

eventually yes native is always better..
because you're not locked in the same hardware with pc build mixed components can give you weird bugs. I got lucky at the time.

[plain dagger]

Maybe as an individual it works but when you rely on builds working for business its a no go

[near wigeon]

might be a bit harder once they restrict it to arm chips only

but yeah used apple hardware is dirt cheap these days.. minis are good choice

[plain dagger]

yea very soon id say

[exotic relic]

I think thats actually part of why I wasnt able to download the latest xcode to mess with my app on there. I genuinly ended up needing to get a mac. Got one off FB for cheap

[near wigeon]

admittedly I haven't tried this since 2020 , I'm guessing once arm got released they are saying more and more fu to x64

[exotic relic]

That would make sense. I also noticed in 2023 they require me to keep xcode on the very latest version for me to update my game

But that issue is the very latest xcode now only works on the latest OS

[near wigeon]

Yeah bg thing I dislike with their practices, they are quick to leave app versions in the dust when OS version changes

[exotic relic]

I agree that it is annoying this way. I wont completely argue since it partially makes sense on their side tho

[mystic shoal]

I always have an idea for a game but I never do it because I imagine what the combat should look like but I know I don't have the animations for them, and so I usually don't do it at all. I'm wondering if anyone has felt the same and if someone could help me find a way I can focus on building the core combat experience first without worrying about animations if that makes sense.

[near wigeon]

yes big reason 64bit exploded and then arm tbh.
"get on with it or you lose our big market share"

I still remember how they innovated firewire the same way
( did lots of video editing in my day )

[exotic relic]

It is correct that in game development there are many angles required to build one. Not everyone has those skills so they either have a team, hire someone, or grab from the asset store. Have you checked out the Unity Asset Store? Note; Before buying stuff do use template graphics

[copper gust]

Good for the evil money making people, shit and annoying for anyone worth caring about

[copper gust]

Absolutely not depending on where you live and your background

[exotic relic]

You can do a mac mini then, ranges from $100-300 for some

[copper gust]

$300 can be a lot for some people and that depends on if it’s even available where they live

[worldly cave]

300 is rent for me lol

[exotic relic]

Then apple just might not be the platform for them yet

[worldly cave]

on what merit

[near wigeon]

"you too poor"

[worldly cave]

that they cant afford a pricey overhead on a piece of equipment they technically shouldnt need

[near wigeon]

I mean if you want their market share then you gotta play ball..its their platform after all

[exotic relic]

Theres free hobbies and there is expensive hobbies

[worldly cave]

this is not that kind of situation

[copper gust]

are you intending to sound like an ass

[exotic relic]

I dont see it that way. I see it that some hobbies require certain tools, if you arent ready then you just arent ready

Alternatively you can still develop a game completely free and publish it on pc

[copper gust]

Ok so your just like that then sick

Easy block

[mystic shoal]

Thanks for the reply! I have checked it and the assets can be quite expensive. I'm trying to find a way to work on programming the core idea before finding animations or paying an artist for them. Trying to find a good way to do something like this so prototyping isn't blocked by animations etc

[plain dagger]

Lets not forget android can be built on all 3 major platforms

[bright ferry]

does anyone know how to make horror fangame maps?

[worldly cave]

very specific question

[heady gorge]

does anyone know whats up with these errors? they've been appearing but they dont seem to actually cause any problems.

it runs as if the errors arent there, and the only list it could be possibly associated with doesnt have any problem

[near wigeon]

editor / layout shitting bricks

[heady gorge]

ahhh

[near wigeon]

if keeps hapenning after restarts maybe try clearing cache
or reset layout?

[heady gorge]

im gonna need it to not do that
or at least not do it enough to where it screws anything elsd

[heady gorge]

will try, thank ye

[worldly rain]

Valid point there. My comment was more so directed at the emptiness of my wallet and the unrealized desire to publish my game on mobile

🤣

[exotic relic]

It is rewarding to publish it on mobile, but if you don’t have a strong reason or want to, I wouldn’t suggest starting there. You’ll have a lot less stress building for pc first

[atomic folio]

how do yall feel about the new unity announcement updates

[ripe nexus]

I've got 5 screenshots from some UI stuff that I cannot understand for the life of me. Its super basic (beginner here). I've spent hours trying to understand what is happening with no luck. Is this the place I could post those screenshots?

[near wigeon]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[ripe nexus]

So I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my health bar to properly stay in the top left corner. As you'll see, my settings have it look correct in 1920x1080 (what I want the game to be), but if I switch to free aspect or other resolutions, it changes? What is going on with this?

[near wigeon]

#📲┃ui-ux
has pins

"Layout"

[blazing depot]

Whenever i read or hear the words volumetric i instantly go to the counter strike 2 smoke grenade

[ripe nexus]

I looked at the post you linked, I have not changed the scale to anything besides 1,1,1. Now the settings in the Canvas itself are greyed out and unchangable, but they show not 1,1,1 values

[near wigeon]

scale? who said anything about scale

[blazing depot]

nav any idea on how to implement an active ragdoll like human fall flat in unity?

[near wigeon]

don't randomly ping people into your questions

[blazing depot]

is it an issue

[ripe nexus]

1- You've postitioned the TMP off the canvas.. That white thin line is the canvas, anything outside of it is off the screen.

2- Do not scale UI elements using the scale fields, they should pretty much always be 1,1,1. Use the height/ width fields to change the size.

This was what that post said

[blazing depot]

i asked for your opinion

[near wigeon]

did you click Layout ?

[near wigeon]

regardless , you post it and if someone has or wants to answer they will

[worldly cave]

its against the rules yes

[blazing depot]

I asked for opinion tho

Ok ig ill brainstorm

[atomic folio]

I mean how do you guys feel about the unity updates

[ripe nexus]

I'm sorry, i do not know what you are referring to when you say click layout. Are you talking about the layouts button under windows at the top?

[near wigeon]

in the pins of that channel there is "Layout"

click it

its important info, find anchors section especially

[atomic folio]

I mean the announcements they made

[worldly cave]

make a thread if you want to discuss it

[ripe nexus]

Hey, I appreciate it, I read through the layouts page and this is all information I know and I have reviewed all of my settings countless times. That's why I came to discord because I cannot for the life of me get it to work properly.

[near wigeon]

the anchors?

[ripe nexus]

Yes, I believe I understand anchors, one of the pictures I posted showed the setting for my "playerhealthbar" and you can see the anchor settings there

[near wigeon]

select it and press F on it then screenshot it again

[near wigeon]

huh.. where even is your rect transform
try switching pivot from Center mode to Pivot
screenshot it again

[near wigeon]

is the width/height matching the size of the bar

whatd did you set your canvas resolution at

[ripe nexus]

1920x1080

[ripe nexus]

I'm not sure how to confirm but yes, I believe the width/height matches the bar and it changes when I adjsut

[near wigeon]

when you resize height and width you see them around the bar right ?

[ripe nexus]

Correct

[near wigeon]

try smaller Pos offset

[ripe nexus]

so I can do that, but then the player cannot see the health bar when at 1x scale at 1920x1080 resolution

[ripe nexus]

If I test the position, it moves around all over the place when changing resolutiosn

[near wigeon]

just did a sanity check and yeah it shouldnt

[near wigeon]

can you show your canvas scaler settings rq

[ripe nexus]

Okay when you hop through resolutions, i notice the scale at the top is changing to (deviating from 1). If this is acceptable, then my system may be working properly. Should I just design the UI for 1920x1080 and if it looks wierd from other resolutions.. thats okay?

In my initial pictures, i set all of the scales to be 1x

they look off though

[near wigeon]

thats only because my gameview is very tiny so it adapts, if I put 1X it stays in the same spot it doesn't affect it

scale never changes the position

[ripe nexus]

from your perspective, is the health bar behaving predictably in my initial screenshots?

[near wigeon]

the distance does seem a bit drastic on other rez besides 1080p

[near wigeon]

actually could be correct.
when you put 1x on 1080 did you middle mouse click to the move the view up a bit ?

[ripe nexus]

I zoomed all the way when in 1920x1080. Sooooo i think this is correct?

[wary sphinx]

fuck

fuck

fuck

fuck

[ripe nexus]

Should I just design the UI to look correct at scale 1x in 1920x1080 and forget about how it looks with other resolutions?

[near wigeon]

yes they all look the same size in terms of offset

[near wigeon]

depends what resolutions you are targetting

i find it better to just pick a aspect ratio

what you pick in the editor has no effect on the final build, thats up to your users resolutions

[ripe nexus]

So if this game would be on a standard display, I should design for 16:9?

[near wigeon]

yea I'd do it mainly on 16:9

[ripe nexus]

16:9 wont let me set it to 1x scale

[near wigeon]

try uncheck Low Resolution Aspect Ratios

[ripe nexus]

I'm never going to finish my project if I'm this anal about everything lol.....

[ripe nexus]

Perfect!!!

[near wigeon]

UI is a pain to deal with in general tbh

[ripe nexus]

I'm basically going to just accept it won't look perfect, continue with the design and build out. I can always make adjustments if needed at the end

[near wigeon]

yea as long as you can see info you need keep it moving and refine it later

[ripe nexus]

Thank you so much though, this has been really helpful

[worldly cave]

you ok?

[balmy kettle]

pretty sure the bot already got them for spamming, they were just throwing a random tantrum

[mystic shoal]

Going through the starter third person controller, and in the animation controller, they have a blend tree and the "Multiplier" field has two options under the drop down. However, when I make mine, it only gives me one option in the drop down and it doesn't seem to let me add more. How do you add more?

[worldly cave]

do you have 2 parameteres in your animator?

[mystic shoal]

How can I check the params?

[worldly cave]

should be visible in your animator tab

[mystic shoal]

Oh my god! I'm such a loser 😂 Thanks for the help

Spent 2 hours on that haha

[elder turret]

Making graphics you actually want to look at is so, so hard.

[stoic lake]

i usually start by removing the skybox and changing shadow settings

makes everything look much better

[ebon rivet]

is there is a way to import vrm model directly to unity ??

[austere mason]

You need to install the package UniVRM. Not native to unity

[sacred forge]

https://streamable.com/qg2og9

Very early footage, but curious what you guys think?

[dusk gorge]

Can anyone help me with this stupid pink stuff. I have been trying to fix it for so long but nothing worked

[craggy pollen]

use the right shaders for your materials

[dusk gorge]

Idk how to im new to this stuff

[craggy pollen]

try converting them manually

window>rendering>pipeline converter

[dusk gorge]

I dont see pipeline converter

[lunar cloak]

In the list of gameobjects, type meshrenderer exactly. Click on one of the objects in the list that are purple. There may be an error message displayed there.

There's a few reasons why your stuff is purple(your material is not working), like the material's shaders being for a different pipeline or your package is outdated. We'll need more information to be able to help you.

[craggy pollen]

can you show a screenshot of the context menu Window > Rendering

[violet thunder]

The errror in the console seems to be related to the converter itself

[lunar cloak]

Could you copy the error in the console here?

[dusk gorge]

Ok

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@37e0d4fc2503\Editor\Tools\Converters\ReadonlyMaterialConverter\ReadonlyMaterialConverter.cs(159,18): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MaterialReferenceChanger' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[violet thunder]

Close unity, delete Library folder inside the project folder and then reopen the project

Unity will rebuild the library (it's just auto generated files)

See if that helps

[dusk gorge]

alright

[dusk gorge]

noo my map is gone

[craggy pollen]

doesnt have anything to do with the Library recreating

is the model also gone form the hierarchy? if not double click on it

[storm patio]

the library folder stores what scene you had open last. so now it's a new empty scene. go open the scene you were working on

[storm patio]

(they'll be met with an empty scene after a library reset)

[dusk gorge]

how tho

[storm patio]

find the scene file in your project and double-click it

[dusk gorge]

did it

thanks i got it back

but my map is still pink and i still have the compilation error

oh sorry

I am trying to add a high contrast grayscale filter over my game for an asscesibility requirement for my group project

and I used the Global Volume + Color Adjustments approach

using a post processing layer applying it to the main camera and then making an global object and changing the colors but nothing is showing ?

or changing

[latent jay]

Anyone know when Unity might have modern .net support? Haven't been keeping track of news with unity these past couple years.

[craggy pollen]

are you using urp and did you use the built in pp or did you install it manually fomr the package manager

[copper gust]

late this year

iirc

[latent jay]

awesome, might consider finally getting into gamedev with unity then (held off for a few years)

what happened regarding that payments drama and new ceo stuff a couple years ago

[copper gust]

feel free but also it's not like a major thing to prevent people from getting into game dev, still plenty viable now

[copper gust]

it's not really a practical issue atp

[whole wasp]

Naw I am using the standard Unity and I downloaded the pp from project manager

Or standard unity pline the built in one not URP

[latent jay]

things have been going in a good direction with trust being restored?

[copper gust]

no not really lol

[violet thunder]

Just looks like URP is broken somehow, try reinstalling URP and maybe creating a new URP renderpipelineasset 🤔
Make sure you have backups/version control tho

[copper gust]

but there's really not many options when it comes to game engines that do what unity do

and it's mostly not worse-ish

[craggy pollen]

can you see the pp effects in the scene view?

[latent jay]

Question:
Is it possible (and viable) to use github through visual studio for the entire project or do I have to use the github desktop app or something completely different?

[craggy pollen]

you can

you do the essential things from github then connect it with your project, no need for the terminal or github dekstop

[storm patio]

you just need a git interface.
the cli, github desktop, and ide integration are all separate, standalone interfaces. you can use one or multiple

[shrewd zenith]

anyone know why my animation is playing on start? in the animator ive completly removed the animation to ensure its not that

ive unticked loop time too

[craggy pollen]

with animator you mean the state machine?

[shrewd zenith]

no

the animator tab

oh wiat

yeah

[shrewd zenith]

do u know what else it could be

[craggy pollen]

you could have added a 2. animator

check your other gameobjects in the hierarchy

[shrewd zenith]

a 2nd animator? what for

[craggy pollen]

accidentaly

[shrewd zenith]

oh no

when i disable the animator the animation doesnt play

so i have the right animator

[violet thunder]

Have you checked all layers in the animator

If there's a state playing that anim

[shrewd zenith]

thank you🙏

that was it

genius

[violet thunder]

It was the only logical reason here 😄

[whole wasp]

I think i figured it out I am using URP I decided to use a Volume component with color adjustments. I think that worked

[craggy pollen]

if you are using urp, you dont have to install it manually you need ot use the built in global volume

i see many people watching old tutorials and install it from the package manager

[timber hearth]

how do i make it stop doing this while trying to add a skybox im looking everywhere but its not telling me what i need to do to fix this

if its possible to fix that is cuz google aint helping with this issue

[copper gust]

Whats the problem

[timber hearth]

when ever i test play it the skybox makes it do that when theres no soild colour and im trying to add a skybox from the asset store

[copper gust]

Do what

You need to explain what should be happening and what is happening

[timber hearth]

makes the screen go all weird like that

[copper gust]

Your camera isn’t rendering a skybox

Should be a setting on the camera

[timber hearth]

right so where do i go for that

@copper gust

[copper gust]

Ok so it is using a skybox, what skybox are you using

[craggy pollen]

go to the lighting tab and select a skybox, it seems liek you have selected a solid color instead

[timber hearth]

i had to otherwise the camera messes with the skybox for some reason

[copper gust]

Well the problem is you turned off the thing you want

the solution is not doing that

[timber hearth]

turned it off?

[copper gust]

If your using a solid colour instead of a skybox, your not using a skybox

[timber hearth]

if i do a skybox the error happens with the camera making it go all weird

this is the skybox

[copper gust]

That is not a skybox

that is a lack of anything

Show your environment settings

[timber hearth]

@copper gust here

[craggy pollen]

could it be that you have a mesh that blocks the skybox?

[timber hearth]

i dont have anything blocking it

the mesh that i only have is the player

@copper gust whats the issue then if i may ask

[worldly cave]

What is this renderer?

[timber hearth]

yeah

[worldly cave]

What pipeline are you using?

[timber hearth]

hold on how do i check that aha

[worldly cave]

You created the project, its either urp, hdrp or birp, pretty sure you can check in the project settings window

[timber hearth]

ok im in the window now where sorry if im a bit slow @worldly cave

found it

i assume i picked the right one

@worldly cave

Well i think i did anyway

[worldly cave]

It is urp, then why is your camera renderer renderer2d

Can you switch it to anything else?

[timber hearth]

lemme see if i can

do i go on the main camera or something

[worldly cave]

Yes

[worldly cave]

Find the urp asset, go under renderers and add a forward renderer

You somehow deleted it

Or you created your game using a 2d template

[timber hearth]

i think i did for the menu

by mistake

i'lll do universal 3D then move the scenes from the current so i dont loose everything

[worldly cave]

Wont fix your current issue however

But wont hurt to do it still

[elder turret]

I also mean 3D modeling

[heady gorge]

im confused on what to do for this error

to clarify, AddInventory is a script that just tells it to add an item to a list, and then destroy the item, but this error happens as soon as the game starts

And when i forcefully make it resume, it just plays as if the error was never an issue at all, and functions completely fine

so i thought, hey maybe something is wrong with the component, so i remove the component, and even the item, and suddenly the error is gone

but the error is complaining about a lack of the item when its very much present and functional, and then fine when the component is no longer even present on the scene im so confused

and then i recreated the item, and then manually put all the references and the script back on, and its bugged again

i dont even know what the plan is anymore

it doesnt even reference any of the scripts, i dont know what it wants from me

[last plaza]

does it destroy the item or itself ?

[heady gorge]

it destroys the item entirely, but only after the player has interacted with it. this error comes as soon as i press play.

[last plaza]

is there an instance of Addinventory at the beginning of the game ?

[heady gorge]

no this is the only item that has this script, and there is only one other script that references it if it gets player input

im going to drink some water and clear my head. i dont get why it gets the error when the item is actually not destroyed or missing, but doesnt give it when it very much is.

it just

fixed itself

[last plaza]

LMAO

classic

[storm patio]

i feel like that's just some stale loading or something from the editor yeah

[last plaza]

yeah it happens

[heady gorge]

its been like 30 minutes of trying to figure this out 😭

[storm patio]

never underestimate the power of "turn it off and back on again"

[solid yew]

I work in IT support, this is very very true. Also the power of "log in through an incognito window" but that's not quite as relevant here

[timber hearth]

Is there away to make the skybox work in the 2DRender as i dont want to start again

[latent meadow]

perhaps ask #1390346776804069396

[worldly cave]

You also cant use a 2drenderer for your 3d urp project

Switch to a urp forward renderer as instructed previously

[timber hearth]

how do i do that cuz theres only 2DRender on it

[worldly cave]

I already told you

[timber hearth]

and where exactly is the renderes

[worldly cave]

In your pipeline asset

Theres a list where you can add the 3d urp renderer

[timber hearth]

where is that im looking everywhere for it

[worldly cave]

It should be inside your project folders

I cant remember the exact location

Possibly under "settings"

[gray frigate]

this is the ProjectSettings folder

it would be in your Assets folder, viewable in Unity

[gray frigate]

these are your URP assets

[timber hearth]

do i go on the one with the gear

@gray frigate

[gray frigate]

one of them will be the main URP asset, including a list of renderers

look at each one in the inspector

[timber hearth]

@gray frigate i assume this one

[gray frigate]

This is the actual Renderer asset.

now look at the others: one of them will have a list of Renderer objects in it.

You wil want to replace the 2D renderer with this asset.

[timber hearth]

what asset aha?

@gray frigate

im confused lol

[plain dagger]

double click the item in "Default Render Pipeline" and check THAT asset

Also there is documentation on how to set this up: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/urp/InstallURPIntoAProject.html

[timber hearth]

Im confused lol idk what to do even when im following it

im here

[plain dagger]

damn that was fast

[timber hearth]

but im just confused looking at that

oop hacked acc right there lol

[plain dagger]

The point was to check that for how you would assign the render pipeline asset in settings. Whatever you just did in the package manager was not needed

So this

[timber hearth]

i didnt mean to click that tbh

[timber hearth]

Sorry im slow where would that be

[plain dagger]

thats from the project settings > graphics screenshot YOU SENT HERE

I sure hope you remember that

[timber hearth]

ok here

found it again

[craggy pollen]

you could have recreated your whole project with the right rp in the meantime

[plain dagger]

Probably easier

Looks like you dont understand this enough to change this or even verify what its currently set to...

[timber hearth]

im not this experienced in unity

i only know the basics

like making menus

give me a break lol

[timber hearth]

i would but uh the files are a bit messed up if i did that unless i moved the scene and files and recreate the menu if it works like that

[plain dagger]

I get that which is why i sent the unity doc page on how you would swap to URP

[heady gorge]

trying to figure out a save system and damn bro every video is like 30 minutes i need like a book or something instead 😭

[craggy pollen]

save system, what do you want to save?

[timber hearth]

ok im doing the easier route if i put the scenes and put the scripts and shit an Universal 3D would that work

[worldly cave]

the thing is, they are already on urp

but they used a 2d template for their very three-dimensional project

so its using the default 2DRenderer

[heady gorge]

ig for my game it wouldnt need to save a lot
it'd need to save player progress, which is just how many of like 3 items a player has gotten (so if the scene reloads, it doesnt just respawn the 3 items again, even though the player has already collected)

and honestly... thats about it tbh

i guess it would also need to track which levels they've completed but tbh i intend for them to be able to go back and try previous levels they've already finished so im not even sure about that

i'd need it to persist even if they close teh game so i dont even know how i'd go about it.

[craggy pollen]

you could do that with playerprefs or a simple json file

[heady gorge]

i... dont really know how to handle json files, which means it is something i now have to learn anyways so uh

we will learn

[craggy pollen]

but first look into playerprefs, should be able to solve it for you

[heady gorge]

thank you

[near wigeon]

public void Save(PlayerData data){
        string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(data, true);
        File.WriteAllText(path, json);
    }```
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/json-serialization.html
Done.

[gray frigate]

it does take some extra work to guard against things like "What if the game crashes while writing the save file?"

[craggy pollen]

where is your spoon nav?

[near wigeon]

huh ? if I were to write the entire class sure.. it was just an example showing how easy its to save to file.. basically 2 lines

[craggy pollen]

just kidding, yeah that is why people like to work with json files inside unity

fast and easy implemented

[near wigeon]

yeah seem intimidating at first but savefiles are ezpeez.

[timber hearth]

ok so im starting again and i made a rig since i made it in 2D Now im confused why the model isnt making one of these now

[near wigeon]

what exactly do you expect us to know just on this one cropped photo alone what you did and didn't do..

[timber hearth]

the rig didnt generate with one of these when i replaced the asset rig with the model i wanted

[near wigeon]

that doesn't magically generate by itself, its the same exact step done in the model import settings. I sent the link to it yesterday

[timber hearth]

ive done what u said but that didnt come with it for some reason

is what im trying to say

[near wigeon]

wdym "come with it"
show the Rig section of the Model Importer window

[near wigeon]

thats not what I was talking about.

In Unity

[timber hearth]

OH NO IM MISSING STEPS THATS WHY IGNORE ME

[near wigeon]

Mixamo has no play about avatars.. thats something you create in unity under the Rig section of the model window

[timber hearth]

uh idk why its phasing through the floor now

is it the model i chose or something to do with the size

[lament oriole]

bounding box for ur little guy is what

[near wigeon]

if you dnt show how you set it up its pretty much moot point

[worldly cave]

we also cant really keep helping you step by step here....

[near wigeon]

most likely its playing the default animator with no animation

[lament oriole]

^ paradoxically trying to get too much help will hurt some learners

i learned the hard way

[timber hearth]

ik once this is sorted i can do everything myself im just wondering how to fix that phasing

[near wigeon]

my pet peeve with helping is having to play the 20 question bs instead of OP just showing what they setup or how they did something, but they assume we got crystal balls and can see what they did / saw

just a picture or saying " welp dis no work" is not helpful

[lament oriole]

what does the thingy that is broken depend on

[timber hearth]

not good at explaining but the Armature am pretty sure

@lament oriole

[lament oriole]

ok what does the thing u added depend on

[near wigeon]

did you leave the default Animator on the model still ? also you should not be using "Center" mode for the pivot when adjusting child objects

[lament oriole]

you added the animation right

[timber hearth]

lemme check

[worldly cave]

also your model has horribly deformed scaling

idk if you noticed...

[timber hearth]

huh?

wdym

[worldly cave]

do you not see how deformed he is?

he is stretched

look at the transform

[austere dawn]

looking like a stetch Armstrong bro

[worldly cave]

you can even see it here

[timber hearth]

thats not streched

thats normal

[worldly cave]

there is no way that or this is normal

[timber hearth]

again im not as experienced to unity as u lot so please give me a break

[worldly cave]

i am just pointing it out...

so you can fix it

but your first instinct was to say "thats how its supposed to be" which isnt a good mentality to have

put all those values at, 1.5 to even it out.

[timber hearth]

done that

[worldly cave]

alright, that was unrelated to your other issue, but its good you nipped it

[sand holly]

Hello

[exotic turret]

Guys I have a question. I have 2 scenes:
The first one has a button gui, just this
The second one has the game.
If we consider that the game will start once i press play button on editor (so no conditions need for the game to start), if I press the button in the first scene and throught a script i link thr button to the second scene, when the second scene will be visible does the game already start?

Basically does the game in the second scene start if the game scene isnt the main one?

[near wigeon]

unity unloads scene1 and loads scene2

unless you're doing additive scenes and unloading/loading them yourself

[exotic turret]

So the scene needs to be visible in order to run?

[near wigeon]

what do you mean "visible"

[exotic turret]

Visible means the main one on the screen during the test

[worldly cave]

also what do you mean by this " when the second scene will be visible does the game already start? "

the "game" starting is entirely arbitrary

[near wigeon]

what exactly are you tryng to accomplish here, this seems like some sort of xy question

[worldly cave]

what is the game, what does it mean for it to start, this is entirely specific and unique to your project

[exotic turret]

When i click play to test, the 2 scenes run at the same time?

[plain dagger]

In editor we can load many scenes at once and play

in a build you would need to load another scene additively with code to re create this

Your code could check if X scene is already loaded, if not load it

[exotic turret]

Im confused

Nvm ty for the answers i'll go check videos to learn

[digital sparrow]

[timber hearth]

ok why is the model messing up now but on the previous one i did it was fine

[digital sparrow]

nr how many people do you think join game jams just for fun

[storm patio]

across all gamejams? a lot, sure

[near wigeon]

the scope of a jam is entirely different

statistically a majority of game jam teams just fail

[timber hearth]

i assume im doing something wrong here

if its messing up here

[last plaza]

statistically a lot of game jam teams have a lot of fun

[timber hearth]

@near wigeon stop being rude

im trying to ask for help

[near wigeon]

do it properly maybe people who even put the effort to help before wont be so bothered

[austere dawn]

have u tried disabling root motion on the animation component?

not gonna help more than that 😂

[near wigeon]

they want us to play 20 Questions

[digital sparrow]

yall be so negative lmaoo

[digital sparrow]

yt

[timber hearth]

i have been

but not getting results im wanting

[worldly cave]

i thought it was "one more thing" and then youre on your own?

youre missing some important essential knowledge with unity here

we cant be guiding you through every hurdle or step

you wont learn

[digital sparrow]

what are you trying to do

[digital sparrow]

he cant learn it by himself bro be frl

[worldly cave]

nobody said he had to.

but this isnt the way to do it

nav has a point, you cant come here saying "this dont work" and expecting us to ask you an additional 30 questions to figure out what your own issue is

[timber hearth]

just put the texture on correctly then i can be on my way and leave u guys alone

[timber hearth]

fuck off

[worldly cave]

thats not very nice

[timber hearth]

ur being rude to me when ive said multiple times im not as experienced as u

[digital sparrow]

am i the only one that doesent see a problem with the texture

[worldly cave]

the very fact you said this same thing multiple times is enough proof you arent learning anything by doing this

[storm patio]

so as an outside observer, what's going on here is that the people here are trying to
a) teach you how to do this thing properly, so you won't encounter this issue in the future
b) teach you how to ask for help properly, so you will have an easier time getting help with various other issues in the future

[worldly cave]

am i being rude, or are you just uncomfortable with hearing the truth...

[austere dawn]

i didnt even notice it was a texture issue, i thought they were still on about the animation issue

they didnt specify it at all

[worldly cave]

we did nothing BUT help you for the past 24 hours

[timber hearth]

you know what im done

[digital sparrow]

dm me bruh

maybe i can help u out

[worldly cave]

they left the server

[storm patio]

please do not defer to dms

[digital sparrow]

😂

[worldly cave]

and dont waste your own time

trust me you will be all the better for it

[digital sparrow]

i was just gonna send bro sum tutorials

[worldly cave]

we did as well

they didnt care

[digital sparrow]

yall was talking about helping him for 24 hours oh hell no

[worldly cave]

they just wanted us to fix their issues for them

[worldly cave]

he was here yesterday, same time, same issues

[near wigeon]

people like that don't care to help themselves and want everything spoon fed.
its pointless and exhausting

[worldly cave]

yeah dont waste your energy on those people, if they dont want to learn and just want you to do it for them, they can leave

[digital sparrow]

if im creating a bottle pickup + throw mechnic, how would you go about it

[near wigeon]

physics casts and rigidbody

[digital sparrow]

i was using triggers and destroyobject but i realized its a missing reference

[near wigeon]

triggers works too but they have less options

[pale remnant]

Need help here guys

Pls anyone here i need an intern.
A game programmer actually. Did dis last year but was unable to finish it cause my system spoil

[worldly cave]

huh? 🧐

[lament oriole]

they may be young, or something they learned to cope with a traumatic situation is now maladaptive. hurting their learning w a particular habit of their thoughts

[near wigeon]

"an intern"
aka I have no plans on paying you xD

[digital sparrow]

why is the hitbox so big

[lament oriole]

not an excuse but interesting to think abt. and maybe to apply for it happening again

[pale remnant]

It's has 7 levels.

That's the actual size

[near wigeon]

at very least people should make a conscious effort to describing what they did, maybe even record a video.
a simple "here is what I tried " etc etc.
it doesn't take much..

[pale remnant]

It can scale if the window size changes

Anyone reading my message here

[lament oriole]

no

[worldly cave]

They arent showing up no

[pale remnant]

What do you mean

[digital sparrow]

yea ngl nobody boutta help u with that

not here

[worldly cave]

not anywhere if we are being honest

not without money

[digital sparrow]

pretty much

[pale remnant]

U mean people pay for internship role

[worldly cave]

dawg you wont find anybody for an internship role

[balmy kettle]

intern != free labor

[worldly cave]

i know this can be surprising, but labour comes at a cost

[digital sparrow]

unless u want a hobbyist

[pale remnant]

Okay

[worldly cave]

even then

people wont work for free

[digital sparrow]

shit i would

if its actually a well planned out game w documentation

[worldly cave]

highly doubt those kind of projects are looking for random free labor from discord users

they are partially mutually exclusive

[digital sparrow]

im not talking ab AAA

anyone can make a doc in thier basement

[worldly cave]

neither was I

[lament oriole]

Im not sure they would be called an intern if they know much more about it than you

[proper rivet]

does anyone know what would be causing me to get "Building Builds\ProjectName_Data\Plugins\x86_64\lib_burst_generated.dll failed with output:

alr so its here, im trying to do a 2.5D project and my sprites in world space after shading have this area around them. Does anyone know i get rid of it?

[near wigeon]

is there a specific reason you're using a worldspace canvas instead of just a regular world sprite

[trim crane]

It's not a world space canvas, its a sprite renderer on a gameobject

but i am using a world space canvas somewhere completely differnt in the project if that matters

[near wigeon]

oh you said world space I thought you meant canvas.

[trim crane]

oh my bad on the lingo

[near wigeon]

which settings you have for the image / sprite in the import

[trim crane]

I have this, its a sprite sheet for the animation

[near wigeon]

the sprite renderer doesn't have it there yea?
show the sprite renderer inspector rq

[trim crane]

Here's that. I think it could also be something with material because I am trying to get these 2D sprites to cast shadow as well
'

[near wigeon]

did you make a custom material or something ?

default material is like Sprite-Unlit iirc

[latent meadow]

it looks like specularity enabled on transparency.. perhaps what nav is pointing to

you can if you think its worth it

you have to set up an account with them

and if you're monitizing it, then you have to get a licence for 100usd

if its free and you just want to publish it, then its free to do it

but ive never personally done it so i cant advise you on whether its good or not

i would consider itch.io if you havent already put your game on there

You have to turn it from a gameObject to a prefab so that you can create multiple instances of them in your EnemySpawning.cs script

You can do that by dragging the parent object into the assets folder @steady dome

[worldly rain]

I would go to steam except for the wishlisting issue. I heard your application gets rejected without enough wishlists and I just want a quick platform to test it out. If I can directly build hype and market my game that would resolve this issue but I’d imagine that would need a chance for players to test it out

[worldly cave]

" If I can directly build hype and market my game that would resolve this issue"

if you want your game to be successful at all, you kinda have to do these things

also ive never heard of that whishlisting issue

[worldly rain]

Yeah but I reckon Itd be most effective to let players test them out

[worldly cave]

what players

you just said you havent marketed your game

[worldly rain]

I have marketed a little already on social media. If you have any marketing tips I’m all ears

[digital sparrow]

u need a budget first

[worldly rain]

Have like 80 players who tested out my concept on webgl

[worldly rain]

As in to buy ads?

[digital sparrow]

pretty much

[copper gust]

not neccasarily

[digital sparrow]

its hard to advertise games organically

[copper gust]

this server won't be an ideal place for marketing support though tbh, not one of it's strengths

[worldly cave]

guerilla marketing can be done for free

[worldly rain]

How effective has that been for you

[copper gust]

ads are more of a mobile thing

[worldly rain]

True

[worldly cave]

i think they are talking about ads as in advertising their game

not ads within their game

[copper gust]

yes im aware

[worldly cave]

what does that have to do with mobile in particular then?

i see ads for pc games all the time

[digital sparrow]

havent ran ads for a game but ive worked for a marketing agency and ican tell u rn its pretty complicated to market a game

[copper gust]

for major releases? sure but for smaller indie games it's less of a thing afaik

[worldly cave]

not really

on reddit especially i constantly see ads for indie games

[digital sparrow]

reddit, journalists

[worldly rain]

Im fine with running ads but just the economics has to be in my favour. If I end up with a horrible conversion rate I’d have wasted my money

[copper gust]

indie stuff is a lot more through social media videos, streamers etc.

[worldly cave]

those are still ads

and some still cost money

[copper gust]

im not saying they don't exist

[worldly cave]

but my original point was that money is not nescessary

and you can still market without it

[digital sparrow]

thats another side of marketing they usually dont make videos unless u sponsor

[copper gust]

also not necessarily true

[digital sparrow]

yea its more effective to have a budget if u want to turn profit

[digital sparrow]

id do some research outside of a unity discord tbh

if your serious consult w professionals lmao

[worldly rain]

I’ve tried a YouTube channel and plan to continue with it. Just not sure if it’s gonna be effective

[worldly cave]

i can tell you right now, choosing to not release on steam could be a death sentence for most indie games

if its not a browser based game that is

[digital sparrow]

mind if i can playtest

[worldly cave]

you can make a thread in #1180170818983051344 if you want to share the game here

[worldly rain]

How is steams algorithm? If I do zero marketing can I expect organic exposure? - just as a comparison baseline

[worldly cave]

" If I do zero marketing can I expect organic exposure"

no

the advantage you get with steam, is that its steam

its familiar to people, almost everyone has it

[worldly rain]

So the algorithm won’t even push it randomly to a select few?

[digital sparrow]

not unless they looking for it

[worldly cave]

it could but your game needs to actually be attractive for people not to pass it up

[worldly rain]

The thing is no one can play test right now since I can’t put it on webgl with the .json saving I have in he project rn

[worldly cave]

70% of all games on steam last year

did not make more than 100 bucks

and this isnt exactly a fault with steam, but more so with the sheer volume of indie games we get these days

[digital sparrow]

mmm ok

[worldly cave]

steam is still your safest bet in my opinion for a full time release

its the only real bet

[worldly rain]

I have an older version however

It’s pretty far off but I can still send it if you’d like

[worldly rain]

Alright

[lapis gate]

mobile is a fine bet too

[worldly rain]

Appreciate your help

[lapis gate]

steam still requires 100 a pop to post a game

[digital sparrow]

yea im intrested now

[lapis gate]

android market cheaper to post but more shovelware to shift through, but marketing applies to everything anyway

[worldly rain]

Yeah

Mobile aspect ratios are gonna be a pain to rework ui for though 😭

[lapis gate]

• the benefit of ads with mobile but reading up blogs that they are unlikely to return value if you yourself do target advertising

[worldly rain]

Keep in mind this is a pretty old version.

But any feedback would be good nonetheless

[worldly rain]

Ah

[lament oriole]

Ayy now u know more about making portable code

Or kinda like abusing 'magic numbers' but that doesn't necessarily mean thats what u did

[worldly rain]

Yeah!

Know more about what I don’t know for sure

[worldly rain]

this is why i need a tutorial 😂

you need to get into a third gear to break the wall

151 km/h

lmao

yeah thanks for bringing that up though!

feel free to ruthlessly critique that version

[potent geyser]

Please make a #1180170818983051344 if you want feedback for your game, thanks.

[worldly rain]

It's added in devlogs now

If you guys would like, check out some footage of my newer unpublisized version

[steady dome]

Thank you so much, it works now 🙏

[devout trellis]

Don't download windows 11 bruh 😭

[shell epoch]

wdym?}

🦞

[tiny silo]

The Unity Bot has a link to where you can go to find collaborations

[worldly cave]

look at the bot messages

[tight obsidian]

Why not?

[shell epoch]

i know

[devout trellis]

It's not well optimized and has a lot of bloatware

Nvidia put out a statement that says that windows 11 reduces the performance of their GPUs too

[copper gust]

you probably wanna look elsewhere

[latent meadow]

you can make a #1180170818983051344 and ask there.

[copper gust]

#1080140002849214464 *

[tight obsidian]

simply uninstall update KB5074109

[latent meadow]

i simply uninstalled windwoes and went to linux (well, it wasn't actually so simple, but worked out in the end)

[devout trellis]

It's up to preference, but my low-end PC faces serious performance issues in Windows 11

[devout trellis]

Me too

Which distro?

[latent meadow]

fedora kde. there is a dedicated #🐧┃linux room, so you know

[shell epoch]

why unity is so hard?

[copper gust]

its just hard

pls

[latent meadow]

... literally Read the message that the bot command printed for you.

[vestal mason]

yeah uhh it not what i need

[latent meadow]

buddy, i am not here to play 20 questions or hold your hand. you have the information you need in that message. if that does not suit you, there are other servers. you have not even ASKED a question yet, let alone bothered to find the correct room to ask in.

[worldly cave]

it might be exactly what you need

Hi

[wraith spade]

unity just undid 3 hours of work

it took me 3 hours to fully design my UI and i dragged it to be a prefab and now everything got reset to zero

[worldly cave]

reset how?

what was reset

[wraith spade]

the rect transforms

[worldly cave]

every single one was reset?

thats odd

[copper gust]

ui stuff in prefabs gets abit weird

did you save?

[worldly cave]

or commit to a repo

[wraith spade]

i havent saved to the unity version control repo for the past 5 hours

ive been at it nonstop

[worldly cave]

welp

you should not do that

commit often

[wraith spade]

thankfully everythings still there. im just mad i have to do it all again

[copper gust]

fair

[worldly cave]

well at least its a lesson learned

[digital sparrow]

bruh who knows they way around the particle system and tryna do me a favor

[worldly cave]

if anything lol

[wraith spade]

this time ill do it in the prefab editor

[worldly cave]

#✨┃vfx-and-particles

[copper gust]

i have not had good experiences with ui and prefabs

[worldly cave]

thats why i switched to the uitoolkit for my project

[copper gust]

yeah im learning uitoolkit for the same reasons

hard to get used to when avoiding the css type stuff though

[worldly cave]

took unity 15 years to figure out a markup language is probably the best way to visualize ui in your projects

[wraith spade]

thanks to claude ive been learning way faster

this new model really knows how to teach

[frozen shore]

how do i fix my animations not playing?

[worldly cave]

#🏃┃animation

[copper gust]

you wouldn't know if it was doing a bad job lol

[worldly cave]

also share more

[wraith spade]

i used to use chatgpt. claude is my savior

instead of watching 5 hour youtube videos for one little piece of syntax idk, i just ask claude

[worldly cave]

does that really answer the question?

[copper gust]

hopefully you grow out of that habit ❤️

best of luck

[wraith spade]

unless the professors at my college stop being bad at their job, ill never stop using claude and no other AI.

every other AI keeps making up fake sources for bad info

[copper gust]

im not telling you to stop using claude, im telling you to stop using ai lmfao

[worldly cave]

iirc Claude has some pretty abysmal usage rates, so even at 20 bucks a month you can only really use for like 5 hours total per week

[copper gust]

if you get lied to by AI thats your fault

[worldly cave]

how the hell does that not get annoying

like imagine being only able to work on your project 5 hours a week because you are relying on claude so much

brutal

[copper gust]

imagine being reliant on a lying machine to learn

brutal

[wraith spade]

they updated that whole thing. they just have a daily limit on messages for free and the 20$ one

[worldly cave]

your paying 20 bucks a month for a daily limit

but im looking it up right now and they still have a weekly limit

[wraith spade]

i usually never hit it

[worldly cave]

which is 5 daily limits

[wraith spade]

im paying the 20

[copper gust]

pay to get lied to i'd rather die ❤️

[wraith spade]

claudes not lying tho

[copper gust]

how would you know

[wraith spade]

its info on programming syntax is pretty on point

[worldly cave]

once again, you cant really know, especially as someone who is learning

you dont know if its lying to you

thats the whole issue

[latent meadow]

please move to your thread.

[wraith spade]

i do check the responses obviously

[copper gust]

if you check why not just research independently in the first place

[wraith spade]

cuz it takes too long

imma be 55 by the time i make my first game with how slow i learn the traditional way
