Quick question, if i have only 5 guns in my game (for a rougelite), should i do it with scriptable objects or normal mono behavior code ?

there is a dedicated #1390346492019212368 room you can ask in, but it looks like maybe you have a crashed instance of unity/server still running (guess)? they would know better

Hi everyone, I'm working on an Android-based Unity game. I'm trying to pick up eggs using Physics.Raycast. It works perfectly in the Unity Editor, but on the Android device the hovering/selection doesn't work correctly — it only works in some areas. I'm using a Sphere Collider on the eggs. Has anyone experienced this or knows what might cause it?

You might be able to replace a single color by using that texture in the Mask slot, not the Base Map

Just do it properly

Redo the UV map, then re-texture it

I'm looking for a game development studio to work with. I have two years of experience developing games in Unity.

I'm currently working on a horror game project.

ive heard plenty of people warn about not using rigidbody for your character but i didnt think why now i see its dropping my fps by a huge amount 😅, what other ways is it recomended other than the character controller to make character movement?

as for performance issues, keep in mind that simply having the rigidbody inspector visible will likely impact performance more than a single ground check

the editor has a lot of overhead

#

the build version of youre game is typically something 30% faster than the editor one

main nacelle
#

oh

balmy kettle
#

well that and also the editor drawing the rigidbody inspector has been notoriously slow (not slow enough for anything super noticable but still can impact performance by simply having that visible)

worldly cave
#

basically, if testing for performance, use the maximized game view

main nacelle

also use the profiler for actual performance data rather than just going off of vibes

i have a question, how many raycasts per frame are possible before it starts to affect performance? it doesnt say much in the doc

main nacelle

#

the answer is the same to both questions

#

"it depends"

main nacelle
#

pretty short i guess

#

oh

worldly cave
#

raycasts are cheap though, you could go up to a 1000 per frame without it affecting anything

#

on pc at least

#

but it still depends

main nacelle
#

im implementing a for loop of raycasts that are going to constantly scan for height, distance and basically gain alot of knowledge of an osbtacle surface

well try it

#

use the profiler

see if it affects the performance

Hey I have a problem with adding clothes to my character so that they would follow animations. I exported a shirt from blender with the armature of the player and attached it to player prefab. Inside skin mesh renderer component i changed root bone to be the root bone of the player armature but it just doesn't follow the animations. Am I missing something?

Are you able to share this script or is there like a tutorial for it?

# copper gust optimisation type shit

I recall something in GDCor Unite I think? where if something changes often it should be in their own canvas so it doesn't have to redraw unrelated items in same canvas. Is this no longer the case?

copper gust
#

that is correct but stuff can't batch between canvases

#

so afaik its a super case by case basis situation where you need to weigh up canvas rebuilds vs. batching

plain dagger
#

That is true, sub canvases should be used to prevent dirtying all graphics too much

yea thats what I remember too
they were set as inherited canvases , like there is still a Main canvas and these canvases were child of this main canvas

Hi everyone

tiny silo
#

Hi, I'm using the frame debugger but I don't really get what's going on here. This is a bullet hell and each bullet is split into 3 smaller objects. The outlines (the black bullets you see) are batched just fine, but the other two objects alternate on the draw call list like this. The reason is "non-instanced properties set for instanced shader" but I don't really get what it's referring to. Each object of the bullet uses the same material. The outline object has no issues and don't really get what could be different about the other two to cause this to happen. My only idea is that one of them is the parent object of the other two

image.png
copper gust
tiny silo
#

Alright

copper gust
#

in the relevent materials set explicit values here

image.png
#

doesn't really matter what as long as they are different from eachother

#

then see how the frame debugger likes that

tiny silo
#

Well they're using the same material in this example

#

Is it because GPU Instancing is on?

copper gust
#

can you show a full frame debugger screenshot of that one and the oppisite one

#

that would be a reason yeah

tiny silo
#

Ok I'll try it with it off

latent meadow
#

although a totally different approach, this would probably be a good case for ECS/DOTS, unless they Really updated how the core handles things like this

copper gust
#

dots would be preferable yeah but as you alluded to quite a workflow change and potential knowledge cost

tiny silo
#

Oh it sorta worked but now there's a new issue preventing batching

image.png
copper gust
#

MaterialPropertyBlock's are another thing incompatible with srp batching

tiny silo
copper gust
#

yeah don't worry about dots for now

tiny silo
copper gust
#

either your using them or something your using is using them

tiny silo
#

I see

#

Well, the material each part is using is from Sprites/Default

#

Is it because they aren't on an atlas?

copper gust
#

Honestly not too sure

#

maybe googling materialpropertyblock and sprite stuff will find you a lead

tiny silo
#

I can't tell if I'm just not using Google well enough when it comes to these issues. I figure it's only worth looking at the first couple results

copper gust
#

not trying to dunk on you but 😭

image.png
#

The materialPropertyBlock message is a bit cryptic, but I think i figured it out. I’ve noticed, in my project, that if all my sprites are using the same spriteAtlas, then they get batched correctly, but not otherwise. If you think about it, it makes sense. Sprites use alpha blending and rely on draw order instead of depth test. Since they are using sprites from a different atlas, they cannot use the same material without at least using a different texture, set using a materialPropertyBlock. I’ve noticed that sprites that use the same atlas and stand close to each other get batched properly. Then the texture has to be swapped to new atlas.
You can try and use an opaque shader that is not sorted. I’ve observed that now all sprites are batched per atlas instead of per intended rendering order - which, since the sprites are not actually utilizing the z-test in any way (they all sit in the same 2D plane) leads to incorrect results.

So, you could:

Put all your sprites in a single texture of an atlas (test in play mode)
Use opaque shader, but make sure that the sprite’s overlapping depends on depth instead of render order

#

this seems like what you were looking for

#

never knew unity implicity did materialpropertyblocks anywhere so this is a learning moment for me too 😄

tiny silo
#

No it's fine, like I said I feel a bit weirdly out of my depth with this so it's hard to tell if the answer is just right in front of me and I'm not seeing it

#

But I'm rapidly losing hope in being able to support the laptop with my game. I don't think I can optimise to that level

copper gust
#

progress is progress

tiny silo
#

Thanks for this though, I think I can do this much. Only concern I have rn is that it'll break the shader I have for making the bullets pulse the way they do

copper gust
#

Not too sure on that without knowing specifics, I think it does get to a point where particles are preferable though

#

atlasing is cool tho

#

some of the atlases in silk song are insanely packed, was cool to see

tiny silo
#

Yeah what was it that was suggested before, GPU instancing with a particle system?

#

I guess again I'm out of my depth but I just wanna be sure that'd work for my game

copper gust
#

behold the power of silk song's asymmetric item sprite atlas

sactx-0-4096x2048-BC7-Inventory-585c37fa.png
tiny silo
#

Holy that is cool

#

Actually hang on that leads me to another question I had with atlases

copper gust
#

i assume some of these must be auto done because it's too unreasonable for humans

sactx-0-4096x4096-BC7-Hornet_Map-3c6e4b0a.png
tiny silo
#

Wouldn't that be bad, to have atlases be this big or am I just fundamentally misunderstanding?

copper gust
#

not neccasarily no

#

like that item one looks huge but it's 7mb

#

7mb is nothing

#

the value of having it all in one texture at a proper scalable resolution is worth it

tiny silo
#

I'm struggling to articulate what I mean but like if I put all of my bullets on one big atlas, would that actually be a detriment if only one bullet type was active in that scene?

#

Like does the spritesheet/atlas (I assume somewhat interchangeable?) get reloaded each time?

copper gust
#

Short answer is i'm not sure. I know there's some ways it only accesses like a portion of the texture when needed but im not sure if it does that

#

but generally in a lot of cases the cost of the unneccasary loading isn't too much of a big deal

tiny silo
#

Would that be more impact on the memory rather than the CPU/GPU then?

copper gust
#

Yes

#

in some cases the gpu memory

#

maybe all cases actually

tiny silo
#

Ah I see, so do you think it'd be worth putting all of my bullet types in an atlas?

copper gust
#

as you can see im like 65% informed on this stuff

#

yeah probably

#

In a proper ideal optimizing situation you would have access to the laptop your trying to optimize on and profile your game on it to know what running up against

tiny silo
#

I do have that data on hand if it would help?

#

Like I have saved some profiling data from when I used the profiler on my laptop

copper gust
#

I mean yeah, instead of asking me if it's worth putting bullet types on an atlas, you can just look and see how much memory your game is using / how much memory the laptop has

worldly cave
#

Is there any way to rotate colliders?

tiny silo
#

I asked more because I wasn't sure if that was going to improve the GPU/CPU situation

copper gust
#

in isolation, no. Why?

worldly cave
#

Setting up hitboxes

#

Would be nice

#

Guess i could add an empty parent

#

And rotate that

copper gust
#

so benefits: srp batching eligibility, cons: potential redundant memory usage

tiny silo
#

I was thinking of making this a separate mode that's only active if the player turns on performance mode, though. Since when I tried atlasing yesterday it broke that shader I talked about

#

And I can live with the bullets having no animation for the performance mode

copper gust
#

imo half measures like that will just stretch you thin

tiny silo
#

What do you mean?

copper gust
#

at that point your juggling two versions of the game/bullet system right

#

making sure they both work and all that

#

but thats just my opinion

tiny silo
#

I suppose that's true. Then I guess I would need to find a way to make sure my shader works with an atlas

#

Since my shader is taking the entire texture and slowly changing its scale on a sine wave

#

But I guess that's an entirely different problem to solve at that point which I can investigate myself

copper gust
tiny silo
#

Oh thank you!

#

You've been a huge help btw. I know I've sorta been bombarding you with questions so I seriously appreciate your patience 😄

Hey guys, I'm using unity 6.3.6 and even the version before I had a weird and annoying bug where the editor will spawn multiple windows whenever it started some process and they will get stuck in the middle of the editor, impossible to close or move them

#

have you had this issue?

latent meadow
#

first update to the latest version, then see if it persists

fossil aurora
#

the problem is that these windows will get in the way of the cursor, basically making a dead spot in the editor

#

oh I thought that was the lastest version

latent meadow
#

i think 6.3.11 is

#

also, what windows? i think there are some that are Meant to block anything else from happening while they run

Just did the upgrade and they are still there, here look

latent meadow
#

your screenshot is microscopic.

#

that's the taskbar, just wanted to show the other two windows besides the editor, this time they cant be seen through the editor at all but they are there, when you hover it with the mouse, the cursor is blocked

could be, I was using version 2022 I think before and this didn't happen, but I guess is to late to switch back now

hello, I'm not sure if it's light reflecting but how to remove the white weird effect which is onto the water?

flat breach
plain dagger
#

Dont put a point light right above the water surface

#

Baked only light will not produce a reflection like this btw

flat breach
plain dagger
#

It may make more sense to have lights inside the pool like real life

flat breach
#

there's no smoothness fields there, and yea... turning off affect specular just doesn't emit any lighting anymore lol

plain dagger
#

PBR rendering tries to emulate real life so if you also do that then it may make more sense

flat breach
#

you think it'll fix the reflection issue?

plain dagger
#

Logically id presume light that emits downwards under the "water surface" wont reflect on top

Yall I have this problem:
In my project are two cameras - MainCamera and MainUICamera. MainCamera renders all layers except the UI, and the MainUICamera renders only the UI. Both have post processing. MainCamera needs to have pixel perfect but the MainUICamera cannot. MainCamera is paired with a CinemachineCamera via Cinemachine Brain.
The issue is that I cannot find a way to display both the pixelated gameplay and the ui on a screen space - camera canvas at the same time.
Any idea how to do this? I can't proceed with my project since the UI either does not render or the gameplay doesn't.
-# Any AI so far was as much help as can be expected.
-# Using an Overlay camera breaks pixel perfect.

plain dagger
#

Though screen space overlay should not break pixel perfect if I remember correctly 🤔

untold breach
#

-# (that cross is on the canvas but I forgot to make it an Image, that's why it is black)

#

I refuse to believe this is impossible to do

untold breach
#

which I need on both the UI and the Gameplay

plain dagger
#

The most ideal UI mode is after post processing as that is usually desired

untold breach
untold breach
#

if it's an overlay

#

I think overlay UI might be the way to go

plain dagger
#

Sorry I was talking about the ugui canvas mode

#

Camera stacking should still work as a solution though unless pixel perfect is messing this up

untold breach
#

Still I do not understand why this would be impossible

#

or at least not straightforward to do

#

pixelated gameplay + unpixelated UI, both affected by post processing

plain dagger
#

I forget if we can change the pass when post processing happens but that would be an alternative solution

#

Like I said it's uncommon to want post processing to affect UI

Would you guys say to shoot for perfection on everything or just get it to a point where it works? like i feel like i get demotivated on every game i ever challenge myself to make and i have a feeling its because im trying to make it look perfect and/or feel perfect. Any tips?

#

im not sure. I get a game idea and then im working on it for maybe a week or two and it just gets like hard to want to work on it.

#

Maybe its the way i plan the game

im not sure

okay thank you sir i shall give that a shot

you can grab the scene camera and raycast from it

to actually run the code, you could create an EditorWindow or Overlay and then subscribe to EditorApplication.update to shoot the raycast

consider using screen recording software rather than filming your screen in a wind tunnel. or just use your words to describe what is happening that you don't expect

when i move my mouse around, it will be like your average 3rd person game camera

Hey I have a question. When I export meshes from blender to unity using -Z forward and Y up transform settings, the models in unity are facing down. When i drag them to scene, they automatically get upright and have -90 rotation on X axis. Is this something I should be concerned about?

also make sure to apply the changes in blender

gloomy raptor

gloomy raptor

Okay so apply transform seems to have fixed it actually

craggy pollen
#

if you allign everything correctly in blender there is no need to change any of the values in the fbx import settings. the only thing you have to check is the apply transform box

gloomy raptor
#

Okay thanks guys but I already have couple of meshes imported facing down. Do you perhaps know whether I should reimport them or will it be okay if I keep using them like that because so far it doesn't seem to cause trouble

craggy pollen
#

ideally when imported into unity all the transform values should be default

#

but if you say it is fine for now, go for it

or it is two material slots

or a material is assigned to the wrong slot

yeah

plain dagger
#

yea probably wrong material assignment for the 2 slots

digital sparrow
#

Na i already tested it out i jus put it in the same slot so it wouldn’t break

#

and vice versa

plain dagger
#

Oh the warning implies this mesh infact only can use 1 material

#

Did you export it in a format like fbx or glb?

digital sparrow
#

Obj only

worldly cave
#

ive only seen this happen with .obj

plain dagger
#

obj requires the .mtl file it also exports to be included for materials to work properly

worldly cave
#

dont do that

#

use fbx or glb

#

never obj

digital sparrow
#

I would use it if the asset came with it

#

I have the mtl file tho

plain dagger
#

Add that to the same folder

#

And then re import the model in unity via the r click menu

#

obj is a funny format and an outlier with how it does this 🤷‍♂️

digital sparrow
#

Import them both at the same time

plain dagger
#

or drag drop if your file management skills are iphone level

digital sparrow
#

Lol i alr tried that my guy

plain dagger
#

it just needs to be next to the obj (in same folder) in project when the model is imported by unity

digital sparrow
#

It is in the same folder

#

Waittt

#

Guess what

#

U the goat

plain dagger
#

cool problem solved. fbx, glb and gltf dont have this issue

#

I brought Unitys book Guys.

digital sparrow
#

Yea these are old assets from ps2 games

#

Well A Book On unity

#

worldly cave
#

regardless save yourself the trouble and stick to glb... or fbx

digital sparrow
#

In general

worldly cave
#

i prefer glb since its not proprietary like fbx is

digital sparrow
#

I mean i can probably convert it

lapis gate
#

glb is objectively superior

worldly cave
#

fuck autodesk so yes

lapis gate
#

converts units, axis, packs textures correctly

digital sparrow
#

But i been using obj since my webjs days its familiar

worldly cave
#

its archaic

#

and outdated

digital sparrow
#

Duh i usually use glb

#

Wait

worldly cave
#

glad to hear

digital sparrow
#

Can you convert a obj file

#

Am i slow

worldly cave
#

you can litterally toss it into something like blender

#

and just export it as fbx or glb

#

its as simple as that really

plain dagger
#

If it works now there is no need

worldly cave
#

yeah for this current situation

plain dagger
#

unity supports glb and gltf with a package (glfast)

digital sparrow
#

I might do tht w the rest of my assets

worldly cave
#

stick with obj since you got it working

plain dagger
#

It is a waste of time unless you need to modify the asset

digital sparrow
#

Yea nvm then i thought it was just a few steps

plain dagger
#

Import options for GLB/GLTF are worse however so thats a different story but ofc they offer other benefits

lapis gate
#

dont need import options if it exported correctly

#

fbx always an export problem

worldly cave
#

theres even an entire blender asset dedicated to improving the fbx exporter

#

Yall i havent been in blender since 2023

When Unity fails to install checklist
  • Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
  • Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
  • Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

  • Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
  • Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

I’ve been tryna get my project to work but it’s been giving me this error doubled 8 times, so then I tried to install unity 6 and that didn’t work. I may just use a different game engine ngl..

where is that error showing?

what os

dire timber

#

could also be firewall/antivirus blocking the new install

dire timber

It says compilation errors and I need to use safe mode

latent meadow
#

yes, so do that, and fix any errors you see, to start with

dire timber
#

Idk how to fix that error lmao

#

I ain’t smart enough for ts

copper gust
#

google points towards firewall/network restriction esque issues but theres not much on it

latent meadow
#

go into safe mode and look at the errors in the console. can you get into safe mode?

dire timber
#

Yes

copper gust
dire timber
#

It’s just the same error multiple times

latent meadow
#

make sure your firewall and AV are not blocking things

dire timber
#

uh idk how to do that

latent meadow
#

are you running stock windows, or do you have a third party antivirus/firewall?

ok. basic computer knowledge is a requirement before you even think about trying to make games.

perhaps google.

dire timber
#

Stock windows

#

But im pretty sure my windows defender isnt even enabled

latent meadow
#

then it is unlikely that the firewall is blocking it, but not impssible.

dire timber
#

I think my isp or smth has like restrictions on my network or smth tho bc ik discord is blocked only on my computer for some reason

then your probably screwed

So unity prob is too

I tried on a different network and still the same thing though so idk

gloomy hare
#

That's a niche use case

if u have any tutorial i can look into or websites i can read, can u share?

generally, speech recognition is done by a system level app , then the data is transferred to Unity

There are many existing speech recognition engines that can handle Tamil

gloomy hare

absolutely. i would check out the Unity Store first, as there are many free solutions to many problems, but i am not sure if exactly what they need is there

Basic info:

Each hexagon is its own "sector" of which will be their own 'worlds' in a sense. However I am looking for a way to generate these sector world visuals based on how it looks visually from space per sector. So if one is all water from space, it would essentially be that on ground in a 1:1 replica. Basically every sector be a 1:1 replica of its space view overlay.

the hexagon sphere is generated separately from the planet sphere gameobject. Being made at runtime, the sphere has its own class explained below that generates its visuals. sectors have no idea currently about how the land under them looks.

Question:

anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I was thinking by doing a raycast contact down to the sphere gameobject from each hexagon gameobject and essentially copying its visuals to store somehow and use in on ground sector generation. The reason this is needed is because planet looks are procedurally generated via a seed using stacked perlin noise functions. Just curious if there is a better route to this. Base sector data is generated during creation of the isoSphere (hexagon overlay). Each given basic names and values for quick initialization which is where I was also thinking of passing this information for generation in a different class.

I would like to create a roleplay game similar to ONESTATE.
To begin with, I am planning to develop it on a small scale and gradually expand it over time.

Do you think this would be feasible?

pearl oyster
#

There isn't really an answer to that. Yes, it is feasible for one person to develop a game at a scope that's reasonable for one person to do but that should be obvious

#

I don't know the game but it looks like a big studio project. A game made by one person is inevitably going to be different from a game made by a big team that works on it full time

copper merlin
#

Hey everyone!

pastel onyx
copper merlin
#

Does anyone have a working flow using AI agents to build/edit unity scenes/scene objects, not just code?
I feel like unity suffers from its workflow being very editor-first, and was wondering if someone figured out a way to effectively prompt agents to generate scene objects, and of course UI.

pastel onyx
#

It's kinda possible

#

You can make the open world part, the AI and Weapons and also cars

#

The multiplayer part is where all of this would go to hell

#

Systems would fail

#

A lot of the code won't work

#

You changed a setting in NPC's animations and congratulations because now one player doesn't see any NPC's one sees them normally and one sees them doing T Pose or some cursed pose

#

I suggest instead of making a Onestate like big RP game make a single player version

hard magnet
pastel onyx
#

Problems would be same

hard magnet
#

Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?

pastel onyx
#

If you wanna go on the path of multiplayer then make sure the game is multiplayer from the prototype stage itself.

And when you say make a small scale version then make sure it is LITERALLY SMALL SCALE.

just make a open world where you can just drive around without NPC's.

Just you and other players in a dead open world city.

That is how you start

craggy pollen

what would be your job as a game dev be if it was so easy to make a game and everything was automated

It’s almost impossible to do alone, isn’t it?
It’s nearly impossible to accomplish by yourself, right?

latent meadow
#

there is a limit to what one person can do, simply due to the amount of time things take. you will not be making 1,000,000 game models by hand, as it is simply not feasible. scope down to what one person can accomplish. thinking about making models? go ahead and make 10, see how long it takes. Music? can you compose? sure, you can kitbash/asset flip all day long, But, it still takes an absurd amount of time.

copper merlin
craggy pollen
#

and what would make your game different from other ai generated games?

#

with the same techniques

copper merlin
#

The result depends on the AI pilot, not the fact that AI was used

hard magnet
#

I can’t keep up with this.

dapper steppe
#

Do ai games actually make profit? I don't think I've even see a public one lol

copper merlin
#

What even is an AI game?
I use AI with strict rules and it basicly writes the same code that I'd write.
There is a giant difference between a non-coder vibe coding a game, and a developer using AI for isolated tasks

Is making a small multiplayer RP game possible?

Block and ignore

Theres hundreds of those bots randomly dming or sending friend requests

I see one at least once a day atwhatcost

hello, if I want to have a water sound when my player is into the water(HDRP built in water system), should I manage this in script with colliders? or is there a builtin way to do it?

I remember there was a 3D sound system

The issue is that I'm doing the Unity Pathway course, and when I download the project, you see the "junior dev starter files", it actually wants an earlier version than my current install (which is also a security risk), so I'm trying to figure out what I wanna do

just use whatever version you already have installed, for learning it won't matter that much anyways

drowsy hull
#

One of the reasons I gave up 6 months ago was that the pathway course got really boring. It became very "this is how you work as a group, this is how you use git, this is how you do career research", and less about actually making games. Did anyone else have this kind of problem when trying to learn?

hello; dumb question but how to teleport a GameObject to another position? I'm currently just changing its transform.position to the wanted position but it just doesn't change anything, I remember there was one more thing to do, I've added a debug to make sure the function runs and it indeed runs, but the position doesn't change however.

I remember someone doing it a while ago and he had the same issue, there was something to do in order to make it work but I forgot what

#

Make sure the playerSpawn is not the same as playerTransform

Like, I'm being asked to create a career research document before I've even learnt about scene flow. That's so backwards to me.

#

@flat breach does the object have anything else controlling the transform? eg a rigidbody, a charactercontroller, an animation/animator

flat breach
#

the issue was the charactercontroller for the other person

hazy thicket

#

he had to disable it while teleporting

#

and yea I've a character controller

My question was more like... did anyone else have trouble finding the fun when learning game dev? When you hear other people stories about learning, they always seem to be having a good time, voraciously consuming content to learn, and I'm just like "why is this so boring? Am I learning wrong? Are there more interesting learning resources that I'm just not aware of?"

-# personally just consuming knowledge is fun to me, but of course that's not everybody

#

but yeah everyone does learn differently. might take a bit to find a workflow that suits you

hazy thicket
#

Various aspects of game dev can be "boring" unfortunately. It's not all laser beams and JJ Abrams lens flares 😂 But I agree with Chris above, don't get too stuck in tutorials, go take what you know and mess around a bit, you'll learn a lot by doing/being forced to learn something, than just step by step guides

storm patio
#

some things just might not work for some people - not that they're unable, but just that they wouldn't enjoy it

drowsy hull
#

I wish I had that kind of mineset. I'm very fixated on structured learning, but I'm also a "learn by doing" person, which are very not synergistic learning styles typically.

#

It can be a vicious cycle for some with learning by doing, because you get into "I don't know what I don't know, and I don't know what I need to know until I learn what I need to know by learning what I need to know"

copper gust
#

Eventually you learn how to learn in that sense

drowsy hull
#

I can only hope so. But I guess before that you can't get in any kind of flow state because every 3 seconds you're realising you don't know how to do the next thing.

worldly cave
#

Honestly even to this very day, i still learn something new every day i work on any project... the learning never really stops, youre always looking for ways to improve what you do

lapis gate
#

the secret is structure learning is a lie and sticking to your scripting roots will produce a game quicker than refactorning every two seconds

you can make some really fun and pretty games if you just stick to the basics. Unity's shaders and modules can go pretty far without the need for any customization

drowsy hull
#

I know, but you still need to have a certain threshold of knowledge to feel like you're actually making a game rather than just making an exercise tutorial, you know? If all you can do is change transform.position, you're gonna be pretty limited in what you can accomplish. The simplest game in the world is pong, and even that requires the lines to interact with the ball.

lapis gate
#

True, but it's given that you do have some of this entry knowledge such as colliders and raycasting. But once you know how to develop pong that knowledge is easily transferable to any other of these arcade games that's for sure.

drowsy hull
#

Well that's the issue I guess. As many tutorials as I've done on the pathways course, I still don't know about raycasting, and Im only just getting to the point of learning how to change scenes

#

Like, I wouldn't say this is an insubstantial amount of tutorials to have gone through

Game dev is really hard. It would be weird if you weren’t struggling. It’s very normal

lapis gate
#

Most concepts I think people struggle on is not even game engine or game related. State for instance can be easily create a bunch of problems unless you properly figure out how to sequence everything correctly.

copper gust
#

That comment feels oddly aggressive

worldly cave

i think it feels pointless more than anything, and i think this entire conversation should have been a thread some 20 messages ago

copper gust

Facts don’t need to be aggressive

Ok have a nice day ben shapiro

#

"learn how computer games work" is not terribly useful

#

game dev is a daunting thing to break into, and there's a huge amount of "unknown unknowns"

#

You don't know what you don't know 😉

Are there any known issues with rendergraph? when i build the project the result is incorrect.
I am on Unity 6.3.10

gloomy hare
elder geyser
#

I feel like passes are being culled maybe?

image.png image.png
#

I have one custom effect here which is SSR i am trying to create but other than that it's the default URP deferred+

#

so the image with the yellowish color is what i get in my build, maybe i have turned something off but it looks like everything is ok

gloomy hare
elder geyser
#

yeah, i do have the skybox turned off but it does not look yellow in the game window like how it does in the build

image.png
#

my ssr also just fully doesn't show in the build

gloomy hare
#

I'm not particularly experienced in the render graph though

elder geyser
#

i think it is actually doing something else, it's inverting my colors.

image.png
#

Maybe it compiled my shaders and hasn't updated them

#

I need to check what's flipping my colors

#

Oh i am stupid

It's my keywords that are not working


    float4 Frag(Varyings input) : SV_Target
    {
        #if defined(SSR_TS_March_HiZ)
            return FragSSRRayMarchTSHiZ(input);

        #elif defined(SSR_TS_March_Linear)
            return FragSSRRayMarchTSLinear(input);

        #elif defined(SSR_VS_March)
            return FragSSRRayMarchVS(input);

        #else
            return _BlitTexture.Sample(sampler_PointClamp, input.texcoord).bgra;
        #endif
    }
#

i had this code, and did the bgra to check if any of the 3 keywords was on so i knew for sure my algorithm was working

#

so it's just my keywords not being set correctly

gloomy hare
#

pfft

elder geyser
#

Now i just need to figure out what is happening, i think they are being stripped when building the game or something

#

I am going to just use different Passes for each version, i am mostly going to use 1 of them only anyway but the other's are good references

when i press game camera opens from here. i tried to fix it with ctrl shift f but its not working. any ideas?

#

if you want to align the cam with the scene view you have to select the camera from the hierarchy first then use the shortcut you mentioned

#

you can also manually position the camera or rotate it

@worldly cave

# signal crow

Does the plane game object perhaps have a camera of its own?

#

do you have any script anywhere that would affect the camera position?

#

because i dont think thats your same camera, notice the cameras transform does not change at all when starting game view

signal crow

omg
