[knotty estuary]

hello Guys

[storm patio]

hi, this is not a social space https://nohello.net
if you have a question feel free to ask

[odd nacelle]

Hello. Im new to unity. What do you say where i start? 2d or 3d?

[worldly cave]

whatever you want

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[odd nacelle]

im now doing that unity course thats on the site.

That offical one.

If i complete that, then i can really make my own game?

[craggy pollen]

you can make your own games when you are experienced enough

the tutorials are only for learning purpouses

[odd nacelle]

But with that course i could make simple games by myself, and if I want something + then i check after it. Or i could watch courses on yt too

[craggy pollen]

you can watch yt tutorials too yes

[worldly cave]

There is honestly no specific cut off point

where you can suddenly make a game on your own

you just get there by actually making a game

[frozen notch]

you'll start by following tutorials, then you will try to make your own script by taking inspiration from the tutorial's scripts and finally make your own game from scratch

[odd nacelle]

Okay guys, thanks. I try my best studying and mastering this while going to school. My dream is to make a good 3d game by end of the summer.

[craggy pollen]

i wish you success

[odd nacelle]

Thanks. If I will start that game project then I will put it in #1180170818983051344.

[craggy pollen]

sounds like a great plan

[grave siren]

Can someone help me with a silly thing, I'm trying to add a friend to my unity cloud project/repo, when I add him he is a "Project Guest", it says here to add him to the "Seats", but I can't see the seats button on my DevOps and my org doesn't have any subscriptions I am using unity free/personal

[near wigeon]

do yourself a favor and just use GIT its simpler and bulletproof
many hosts like githuub exists and works across other projects besides unity

[grave siren]

yeah, but git can't store large model files

[near wigeon]

You could with LFS anyway, but generally you don't want to store that model files on version control anyways nd eat up unnecessary space.. They don't change as often as the rest of the project files, and you can keep them in a separate storage place like GooleDrive and alike

[sly lake]

Things git users do to cope with git 😂

That’s not even how Unity works. It’s one project, assets, data and code. Version everything. It’s all connected.

[sly lake]

Need to add him to an organization I think

[near wigeon]

wa? the models don't need to be in version control .. In most cases they are already done or change very few times, they can done so separately.
We use own git server so storage isn't an issue but works fine with any host that give plenty of space for it

wasting version control space for models is just silly

[sly lake]

So what, you check out and then you drag the models in by hand or what?

I like to have my project complete, thanks.

[near wigeon]

You do you, we can agree to disagree.
plenty of people track the models separately if needed.

maybe you haven't worked with models that exceed 2GB each ?

[azure grove]

we version source art seperatly from exported art, but do version all the exported stuff just like other assets and use lfs for it

[sly lake]

Yeah, I don't see any other way working

[dire timber]

Ohh version control apparently requires a subscription I don’t think I have, that’s prob why it won’t let me into my project.

[sly lake]

Version control doesn't require a subscription

[dire timber]

It said it did

On package manager

[near wigeon]

Unity devops does

but its a free tier

[azure grove]

when people say version control they are talking a concept not just 1 solution

[dire timber]

The version control package

[near wigeon]

Unity Version Control *

[azure grove]

are many thigns to do version control with, unity has its own, but many people will use Git or Perforce instead

[sly lake]

I still call it PlasticSCM

That's what the app is called

[near wigeon]

its always busted through many different unity versions and packages 😂

[azure grove]

yeah i tested it like ages ago before untiy bought it as plastic scm, but still prefer Git and Perforce so never adopted it

[sly lake]

Git kept breaking for me. Tried self hosting, that kept breaking too

[near wigeon]

not sure how. . Git is bulletproof

[sly lake]

In game dev projects it's never been kind to me

[azure grove]

i have always been on Git for the project and Perforce for the source art for most of my career

[sly lake]

I've used it extensively for code-only but in game dev it's absolutely not bullet proof 😅

I definitely prefer Plastic over Perforce

[near wigeon]

man I miss Perforce, that was fun and SVN (forgot which)

[dire timber]

I may just have to make a new project and put the assets folder from this project into that new project

[azure grove]

before lfs git did suck pretty bad, unless you host was cool with huge files. Now its very stable with lfs for gamedev

[near wigeon]

yeah big reason I track those seperate tbh so mayb why I never had issues.
Git was def meant to be Code first

[near wigeon]

doing that works but it will not transfer anything else that may important like Layers, Tags, Packages etc.

[dire timber]

Yeah

I’ll have to reinstall probuilder and stuff

[near wigeon]

oldschool way, zip the project folder besides the Library Folder

[sly lake]

You can transfer most stuff with assets > create package

[near wigeon]

does .unitypackage does transfer layers? last time I did it didn't

[sly lake]

Not by default but you can select it

[worldly cave]

I personally do this with audio libraries

[flat breach]

hello, how to change a material's emission color in runtime using scripts?

[flat breach]

should I use AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<>(); or is there another way?

[near wigeon]

this is for editor only..

wats wrong with a serialized field?

[worldly cave]

i dont see why you would ever use that... you can just do something like

    Renderer rend;
    Material mat;

    void Start()
    {
        rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
        mat = rend.material;
        mat.EnableKeyword("_EMISSION");
        mat.SetColor("_EmissionColor", color);
    }

you can also use a custom shadergraph shader for your material and make this even easier with a lot more control

[flat breach]

yea exactly, the material I'm trying to modify is a editor only material because it's a material I use on decals

[flat breach]

I wanted to do this but there is no Renderer

it's for decals

I don't know if you get me but there is no Renderer, it's just a HDRP Decal Projector with a editor material, and I'd like to change this material's emission

[worldly cave]

i think this is almost certainly an #🔀┃art-asset-workflow conversation or even #1390346776804069396, but it sounds to me like you just need to use material property blocks for this

also when you said its an editor only material, is it located inside an "Editor" folder?

[flat breach]

yea ofcourse, otherwise I wouldn't be able to slide it into the material's field

[worldly cave]

Anything inside an Editor folder wont actually appear in your build

[near wigeon]

You can still use a field if you did a custom editor window

[flat breach]

we mean project files right?

[worldly cave]

I mean your games build, if you use an editor only material in your game, you build the game, that material wont appear

[flat breach]

but what is an editor only material? it's a material which is in the project files but not into the scene right?

[worldly cave]

no its just a regular material that happens to be in the editor only folder

[flat breach]

so /Library?

[worldly cave]

I asked if the material was in an "Editor" folder and you said yes

and Editor folder is a folder named "Editor"

[flat breach]

I didn't know what this meant, nav used it and told me that the AssetDatabase was for editor only, that's why I continued using this word

but my material is in the Assets folder

no /Editor or anything

[worldly cave]

Any folder doesnt matter where

could be under assets

if its named "Editor" will be editor only

and thats what i asked

[flat breach]

it's under Assets

[worldly cave]

is it named "Editor"

[flat breach]

no under another folder or anything

[flat breach]

no

[worldly cave]

then why would you say it was

[flat breach]

it starts getting late😐

idk

anyway, do you know what I should use ?

[worldly cave]

yes, like i said you can use material property blocks

so wait, what the hell did you mean by the material is "editor only" ?

[flat breach]

okay, I'll look into that, thank you

[flat breach]

IDK

@worldly cave there is no meshrenderer

how to assign the material block?

[warm leaf]

Yo guys I’m making a animal company fan game horror game sadly I don’t have a pc and I’m looking for people to help me develop dm me if. You would like
The game will include varieties of monsters and summoning
I have the models already I just need someone to do everything else because again I don’t have a pc. I’m willing to pay for this to be done but don’t expect a lot of money prob like 20 tbh. This is a vr game btw

[flat breach]

I think a material block wouldn't help me there tbh

[flat breach]

I've read the documentation and I think it only works with MeshRenderers

[worldly cave]

yeah i dont think you need a mesh renderer

[flat breach]

how to do it then? ``` private MaterialPropertyBlock materialBlock;
materialBlock = new MaterialPropertyBlock();
materialBlock.SetColor("_EmissionColor", color);

I need a way to SetPropertyBlock();

this is a primarily english server, sorry

Y’all I fixed my unity issueee

I disabled ipv6

And it started working again

[latent meadow]

i'll keep that in mind in case i see it again, thanks

[dire timber]

Yw

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🏃┃animation room you can ask in. make sure not to double post.

[neon bobcat]

I need some help

[lusty turret]

Dumb question, how do I make a window or door frame on probuilder ?

[neon bobcat]

like lets say u wanna have an animation to when the player throws smtn, how would I do that? do I do it in blender then use it in unity or what I suck at this part

[prime bane]

I have a question and I don’t know where to put it

I’m also trying to do doors I have the doors but the hinges aren’t moving correctly like a real door on the hinge

[slow dirge]

Yes. Blender or any other software for authoring animations. Or import existing animations from asset store, mixamo, etc... And apply them to your character.

[slow dirge]

Probably #⚛️┃physics

[neon bobcat]

Thank you so much

[chrome thicket]

Update the stockhom syndrome has kicked in, i love unity

[past gate]

i should download those right

[copper gust]

are you building for android and ios?

[past gate]

yes maybe

[copper gust]

then yes maybe

[knotty vale]

Heya ppl , if I had a query related to level design in unity which channel do I ask it on?

[latent meadow]

depends, but probably start here

[dusk trellis]

Hey so I'm going to make my first unity game I was thinking 3rd person zombie shooter, with heals, ammo, and 1 boss zombie maybe 2 and difficulty increases with more zombies doing more damage with a little health increase, I don't think I want to change heath too much with only 1 gun maybe 2

What do you guys think the difficulty will be for a newbie like me, I already found a player model that comes with 2 guns, she has some animations already

[latent meadow]

your best bet is to simply start on the learning site

!learn

[vagrant root]

[past gate]

so whats worng here?

[latent meadow]

you'd need to check the hub logs to be sure

u mean that ?

[latent meadow]

if that is the hub log in the location listed in the bot message, yes.

[past gate]

yes its so?

[latent meadow]

search for error

[past gate]

you can see it 🙂

i dont find something

or i find

[latent meadow]

i am honestly not here to read through your 15kb log..

perhaps try restarting the computer , just to eliminate the usual issues

[past gate]

{"timestamp":"2026-03-16T05:03:28.691Z","level":"debug","moduleName":"UnityIPCClient","pid":37112,"message":"connecting to IPC Server Unity-hubInstallServer-fad5ff82-b6c3-4267-88ef-b970f0302af7"}
i dont thing there is any curl bracket issues in it

[latent meadow]

that does not appear to be the issue.. I could be wrong

you were able to install the hub and an editor, so it is probably not a firewall issue., unless a very specific entry
again, back to the usual first step which is restarting the computer, just to make sure nothing is hung in the background

[balmy kettle]

this is irrelevant. you need to look through the actual logs to find error logs, not errors with the json schema

[knotty vale]

Anyone here know how they did this on a 2D map? I am trying to do the same with isometric tilemap but the asset for palette I have is 2D so is there a way to convert an 2D palette into a isometric tilemap?

Or are 2D isometric assets entirely different?

This is from a GBA game.

So pretty sure it's 2D

[past gate]

yeah i think its project issue

[latent meadow]

might want to talk to #🖼️┃2d-tools

[balmy kettle]

issues in a unity project would not cause issues with downloading a learning template in the unity hub.
but presumably you are missing files or package dependencies for whatever you've just imported into the project

[past gate]

im just click download

didnt import something so ?

i think its should download whole files with itself

whatever

[past gate]

its worked after restart device but got those now

and i cant find errors in vs :/

[knotty vale]

Cool thx huna

[latent meadow]

what version of the engine?

i honestly thought the Microgames were all legacy/out of date

[past gate]

6.0 as they told me

[latent meadow]

can you screenshot where you found the microgame to install?

[past gate]

there s no bugs in it

[copper gust]

who told you

[latent meadow]

i am pretty sure the microgames are 2022 Editor only.. IIRC they require some packages that are not included in the newer Unity versions. your best bet is probably to click the Learn tab in the Hub, and go from there. those are up to date.

[past gate]

here

[past gate]

⬆️

[past gate]

you mean?

[copper gust]

ah, 6.0 is generally kinda recomended but yeah that tutorial is not supported for it

[copper gust]

blame unity for this

actually stupid

[latent meadow]

can you show the whole screen.. something seems off here

[past gate]

so where is the issue now?

in code or engine or on me

[copper gust]

you can't do that tutorial on that version of unity

[past gate]

:/

[latent meadow]

Oh, son of a gun! i see it listed. i will download it and try here.

[steep dagger]

hi just quick question regarding meshes from a total noob. The mesh filter component is what actually determines what shape the object has right? and the mesh renderer is what interprets that? I.e. I can have multiple mesh filters that i swap between and they're all used by the mesh renderer to actually create hte appearance of that object

[past gate]

:/x2

[copper gust]

yup

[steep dagger]

awesome, thanks.

[copper gust]

or more specifically

you can just swap out the mesh referenced in the meshfilter

[steep dagger]

working on a manual object pool and want to make sure im being efficient where i can

[copper gust]

oh ok thats sick

[steep dagger]

oh that might be better

[copper gust]

did they just fire the people doing the microgame package or something

[latent meadow]

Ok, i was able to download it (through hub) and run it. seems they updated it. I am not gettng the same errors as you are..

i Am getting a couple minor errors, but not the mess you are seeing

@past gate make sure yourproject is not in a folder controlled by OneDrive or similar. just a guess.

[past gate]

so what now?

also how can i change vs to vs code to open auto?

[steep viper]

Alright how do you design or architect a game management system?

[past gate]

didnt do it

its do its self i think

[steep viper]

WHa

[past gate]

automatically

i think

🙂

[past gate]

now should i solve them or just close this project?

[latent meadow]

if the project is jsut the template, delete it and start over with the download. see if it works the second time.

[past gate]

Sorry i mean vs code to community

[sly lake]

But seriously, you probably want to find it on the Unity Learn site 😅

[brisk trail]

yeah, i remembered that was an option and went to look there

kinda funny tho

[granite sorrel]

can anyone explain to me why using a while loop in a normal script and not in a coroutine causes the game to freeze?

[sly lake]

It'll freeze in both cases. A coroutine can just yield to defer execution until later

If you don't do that then it's also going to freeze the thread

[stuck flower]

Code runs one line at a time, top to bottom. Until the while loop ends, literally nothing else in the entire program can happen

Putting it in a coroutine means other stuff can happen when the coroutine yields and then it can come back afterwards

It's not the fact that it's in a coroutine, it's the fact that there's a yield instruction which pauses the coroutine and lets the rest of the game execute until it comes back

[ionic night]

Hi, I have a question. I'm making a game in Unity 2D with Photon Pun, and when characters collide, different things happen on the two screens and players move then come back to old position. How can I fix this?

[primal flume]

Hi!
I haven't really used Unity for few months but after i got backed i updated installed version 6000.3.11f1, but after i opened my project i got an error of Packages\com.unity.render-pipelines.universal\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?)
I tried remove "package" and "library" as well as the cache folder in AppData, i also tried reinstall Universal RP package but none of them worked
How can i fix it?

[storm patio]

you should not have removed Packages

[primal flume]

Yah that's a bad idea i have to reinstall them

[storm patio]

you could probably just get the manifest files from your trash, assuming you didn't permanently delete them

[primal flume]

Will it break the project if it's deleted?

[storm patio]

probably

[fair cove]

Assuming these players have a rigidbody, then Unity would be applying physics locally, and PUN is sending position update at a different rate than physics are updated locally, so the server says the player is in one location and Unity says their physics are in another location, on the next PUN 2 the server repositions where it thinks the player should be, leading to a "jitter"

The common fix for this, is to disable physics locally on other players and have PUN strictly decide where other players should be, though maybe you can ask in #1390346492019212368 for other possible fixes - Photon also has their own discord for questions as well

[brisk trail]

any idea if this will take much longer? i have a class in like 20 minutes

[copper gust]

it could take that

it could be done soon

web builds are a kinda wild west

[brisk trail]

oop it finished

bruh -w-

[fair cove]

Was that your first build?

[brisk trail]

yes

it does say subsequent ones are faster

[fair cove]

Yeah, usually the first build will always take longer than subsequent builds, as Unity is also making a cache to "skip" some steps for future builds

[brisk trail]

so, question cause the tutorial is a bit unclear. the folder to zip ot then upload on the web is the folder i selected when going for build

it has this stuff in it

or is it just the "Build" one inside

[copper gust]

you want all of it

the .html file is your equivilent to a .exe

[cyan copper]

Heya guys

[flat breach]

hi, I have around 10 decal projectors in my scene, they all use the same material asset, I'd like to change their material's emission at runtime in code, how to do this? I've tried several ways and none of them worked.

[copper gust]

How are you trying to do it

[flat breach]

at first, I wanted to do it with Renderers but there are no Renderer, so of course it wouldn't work, then I got advised a material block but it didn't help at all, now I just tried to acceed the DecalProjector's material field, enable emission and then change its color but it just doesn't do anything

[copper gust]

Show code

This is probably you using .material instead of .sharedMaterial but we’ll see

[flat breach]

https://paste.ofcode.org/68sxeTTU6NWJTW3VaPJ2L8

[flat breach]

yea I'm using .material lol

what's the difference with sharedMaterial?

I want to change their seperate materials btw if sharedMaterial just do it to the source material

[copper gust]

Ah ok

[flat breach]

is that what it does?

[gray frigate]

.material creates a new instance of the material the first time you access it

this is appropriate if you do not want to affect anything else

[copper gust]

In that case my advice would be to make the material emissive with the values you want, set the inspector to debug mode (can google this) and carefully look at all the enabled Keywords and properties being set

[flat breach]

anything apart from the instance itself?

[copper gust]

There might be some stuff your missing

[gray frigate]

Right. You get a new Material object that only that Renderer uses

So modifying it won't affect the original Material

[flat breach]

alright, I'll look into setting the inspector to debug mode

[flat breach]

oh okay, do you know a way to achieve what I want?

[copper gust]

Might not work depending on what you want but it this is just like a bool type thing i’d just have two materials and you swap between them

[flat breach]

maybe I could duplicate the material for each different Decals and use .sharedMaterial?

[copper gust]

That would not help you

[flat breach]

sharedMaterial doesn't make a new instance right?

[flat breach]

why?

[copper gust]

Because your describing what your currently doing, which is 1 material per projector

[flat breach]

OH yea that could be an easy way to do it

[flat breach]

I'm currently having one material only for all the decals

[copper gust]

Not true

[flat breach]

so .sharedMode would modify all their emissions/materials right?

[copper gust]

because your touching .material at runtime your making 1 copy for each projector

[flat breach]

yes, but that's why I'm saying I could switch to .sharedMaterial and have different materials for each decals, now, I have a material for 5 decals, I could just duplicate this material 5 times and use .sharedMaterial

[copper gust]

Are these materials different

[flat breach]

no

[copper gust]

then no you wouldn’t want that

there is some misunderstanding here

[flat breach]

wait, what do you mean by "these materials"? there is only one for now lol

[copper gust]

As in your proposed 5 duplicates

[flat breach]

oh yea they would be the same material

[copper gust]

When you have touch .material, it makes a copy of the original material and assigns it to the projector, so when you modify it the only thing using that copy is that 1 projector.

When you touch .sharedMaterial, it directly touches the material assigned so when you modify it, anything else using that material would have the same changes

[spice matrix]

Im having issues loading a unity scene, I last opened it hours ago & then when I saved it & tried reopening it hours later, my whole scene is empty & I get this error: Unknown error occurred while loading 'Assets/Psycho.unity'.

[copper gust]

it’s potentially corrupted, are you using version control

[flat breach]

I thought the new instance wasn't used for anything... so this is the right way to do it, why doesn't it work in my example? and also I've understood what .sharedMaterial does and that's why I've suggested duplicating the original material multiple times, so I can change their emissions one by one

[spice matrix]

Yeah I am.

[copper gust]

The whole duplicating materials and using .sharedMaterial would be the same as just using .material

[flat breach]

yea

so I'm probably just doing it the wrong way ig

[copper gust]

Your problem is probably some missing keyword or property as mentioned earlier, you can either figure that out and keep modifying via .material or if you just have 2 states just use 2 materials (one normal and one emmisive) and set the .sharedMaterial when you change it

[flat breach]

why should I use .sharedMaterial if I use 2 different materials for each states? I don't want to modify all the decal's material assigned, you said " anything else using that material would have the same changes"

[copper gust]

right we have found the misunderstanding

changing what material is assigned to the projector is not the same as changing stuff on the material that is assigned to the projector

Like changing what shoes you’re wearing vs. changing the laces on the pair of shoes you’re wearing

[flat breach]

yes

I understand that

but, sharedMaterial touches the material assigned, you said, so the source itself

[vivid cedar]

Changing your shoes:

myRenderer.sharedMaterial = someDifferentMaterial;

Changing the laces on your shoes (which affects everyone else wearing the same shoes):

myRenderer.sharedMaterial.SetColor("SomeProperty", someColor);```

He's saying do the first one, not the second

which doesn't affect anyone else wearing the original shoes

[copper gust]

If you only have two states you don’t need to use .material as you don’t need a copy because you wouldn’t need to modify the material/“laces” anymore

[flat breach]

😭

[copper gust]

You just change what pair of shoes your wearing

[storm patio]

ah, reassignment vs mutation, classic

[flat breach]

I think I understood.... but that's too complex for nothing fr

[storm patio]

it isn't complex, but it may just be unfamiliar

[storm patio]

here's some terms for it if you want to google further

[flat breach]

bro advised me to use something which doesn't exist... .there is no sharedMaterial in Decal Projectors

[flat breach]

I understood in the case of .sharedMaterial but what's the difference with .material then? you can also change by reassigning another material

[copper gust]

I think i had that written out as a question then forgot to send it

🫠

[flat breach]

what??

[copper gust]

The idea being there would be no reason to make a new pair of shoes if you don’t need to

Anyway just .material is fine then

which i guess does make sense

it's just the getters that are different

[flat breach]

how do you get access to that by the way?

[storm patio]

cmd+click some definitions

[flat breach]

okay, thank you so much for helping me

[storm patio]

some stuff is also available here https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/59b03b8a0f179c0b7e038178c90b6c80b340aa9f/Runtime/Export/Graphics/GraphicsRenderers.bindings.cs#L164-L179

[flat breach]

Thank youuuu so much, that's so great to know, I didn't know this

[potent moss]

hey so like is it normal for an editor install to just be stuck like this for 15 min+?

[storm patio]

not super out of the ordinary

[remote needle]

just gotta let it do its thing for a bit

[potent moss]

okie

[cyan copper]

Heya guys

[storm patio]

@cyan copper this isn't a social server https://nohello.net
if you have a question, go ahead and ask. otherwise please stop spamming

[cyan copper]

Wth

Okay

[flat breach]

hello, I'd like my player to be able to capture an enemy(navmesh ai), the player basically instantiates a mini prison(4 side grate) with a mesh collider, unfortunaly the enemy just goes through it, I tried adding a Navmesh Obstacle to the prison but he just dodges it, so the player cannot capture him, I thought about disabling the Navmesh Ai component but it'd be hard to handle, what could I do?

[worldly cave]

cant you just set the agent speed to 0?

[celest fox]

whatsupp

[worldly cave]

stop them from moving at all inside of the prison?

[copper gust]

stop making the agent go somewhere

[celest fox]

making a game where you play as robot animals

[storm patio]

if you'd like to show off your model, please use #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344 for that

[celest fox]

shi mbb

[storm patio]

all good

[flat breach]

but how to detect it when he's into the prison?

I'm not sure anymore what the ai detects

would a trigger collider work?

[worldly cave]

i mean it would depend on how you handle the prison stuff to begin with

you havent given us much context

[echo drift]

who is the guy that wanted to text me

[flat breach]

pretty easy, just gets instantiated at a position, it has a mesh collider

Lol

[near wigeon]

what ?

[worldly cave]

im going to assume it was a collab post

someone responded with the bot command

and the post was eventually removed

thats my theory

[copper gust]

This sounds dumb but generally you should know everything about your game, like what things are in what prison

If your lacking that kinda info then yeah that should be your first step

Trigger collider seems like an alright way to find that info sure

[worldly cave]

then use a collider to detect when an enemy enters

simple as that

[echo drift]

there was a guy that friended me but i declined it by accident so im trying to look for him

[flat breach]

I've already added a trigger box collider into the prison, but I thought it wouldn't detect, I'll try and see

do you know what a navmesh ai detects?

[worldly cave]

huh?

in what way

[near wigeon]

ai navmesh just walks on meshes, what it detects is up to you

[mental harbor]

In Game Selections of mutiple Rigidbodies

[flat breach]

I mean, it clearly doesn't collide with colliders that aren't baked into the navmesh bake

[near wigeon]

well yeah navmesh has nothing to do with physics

[flat breach]

trigger colliders is physics....

[near wigeon]

exactly..

[flat breach]

so it wouldn't detect it?

[near wigeon]

not by itself no, you need at least 1 rigidbody on either

[copper gust]

Trigger collider to obtain the objects that have the navmeshagents

How the agents work is irrelevant

[near wigeon]

depends on situation, sometimes you can just do it on the trigger if that has a script + rb
but I usually put a rigidbody on the navmesh as kinematic or dynamic but with constraints.
Both have pros and cons

[echo drift]

could somebody help me im looking for somebody he has a obsidian pfp

[flat breach]

huh?

[flat breach]

tysm, I'll add a dynamic rb onto the enemy

[near wigeon]

if you do that

1. you need a collider on it as well, this means it will push other rigidbodies around (i suppose it can also be a trigger? lookup the chart for collisions)
2. put the constraints on otherwise it will try to fight the navmesh for control

[worldly cave]

what even is the context

[echo drift]

nvm

[worldly cave]

i mean, if there is something we can help you with, you can just ask here rather than trying to find the one person who responded you at some point.

[echo drift]

true but i rather just give up

[worldly cave]

ok

suit yourself

[brisk anvil]

New UnityHub startup screen Looks so good!

Unity cooked! 🔥

[fierce shuttle]

How can I reduce stutters when loading new scenes?

[stuck flower]

Have less stuff in Start in that scene

[fierce shuttle]

im using the async overload

[fierce shuttle]

interesting, is that the only way i can do that?

[stuck flower]

Probably worth checking the profiler to see what's taking up most of the resources and starting from there

[fierce shuttle]

i'll check this out, thanks! is there like a marker for a scene change that I can look at?

[flat breach]

it's weird but it doesn't work, I've added a rigidbody and a sphere collider onto the enemy, dynamic continous collision detection, full constraints, the prison has a mesh collider and the enemy still goes through it

[stuck flower]

You'd be able to start the timeline before the scene load, then load the scene, then pause the capture, and you'll have a breakdown of all the stuff that happened while it was capturing, including the scene load.
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/Profiler.html

[copper gust]

They suggested a rigidbody for a trigger collider…

[flat breach]

MY BAD, sorry

[flat breach]

well, it doesn't workeither

[gray frigate]

my internet went out as i tried to post

ow

[gray frigate]

The NavMeshAgent is going to control the position of the object

You cannot stop it from moving by any means whatsoever if you're letting it move the object

You need to tell it to stop moving

that could mean you set its speed to zero, or maybe you could just set the destination to be its current position

[flat breach]

yes but how can I know when to do that in my case? There are like 10 Transforms in scene, and there are the possible prison spawn positions, the enemy moves everywhere

if I can't use colliders to detect when to make him stop moving, that's hard

[gray frigate]

you can still use colliders to make decisions

[copper gust]

You can

Your doing it wrong

[near wigeon]

You can also skip rigidbody all together and do physics queries/casts

[gray frigate]

for example, you can have the trap look for nearby enemies and tell them to freeze

using a query, indeed

you can also just put a trigger collider on the trap and have the enemy react to overlapping it

you just can't use physics to stop the enemy from moving

(because NavMeshAgent does not care about physics whatsoever)

[copper gust]

I think that’s where we are at rn

[gray frigate]

This is what I thought of first, yeah

[flat breach]

that's what I'm already doing, but it doesn't work

[gray frigate]

then you'll need to show us what you actually did

[flat breach]

there's a lot to show, but I basically have an ai which has a sphere collider+ Navmesh Agent, then the player can spawn prisons which have a mesh collider for the grates, in the inside I've a big trigger box collider, in my case, I'm using OnTriggerStay(Collider other) {} because the trigger will spawn onto the enemy and here I'm just disabling its navmesh agent

if the Navmesh Agent is just there to move him onto a baked surface, why would I need all the extra physics stuff such as rigidbodies?

[copper gust]

You need rigidbody for ontrigger to work

as triggers are a physics interaction

[gray frigate]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

click through the links to find out what you need to do

[flat breach]

but I thought they were not needed, I need to watch the physics beginners tutorial back ig

aren't colliders alone the other type? there is discrete, dynamic and the other one and why would it even be a problem? I tried with rb and it didn't help

[short night]

Hi everyone

[gray frigate]

colliders can't be 'discrete' or 'dynamic'; those terms apply to rigidbodies

the Rigidbody component tells Unity that this object is a physical object that could bump into things in the physics world

it is required if you want to receive trigger messages

[sacred sand]

U guys got any idea to improve combat feel ?

Feel like something is lacking

[gray frigate]

it feels very slow

[wheat monolith]

Hey guys

[gray frigate]

Is that a parry?

If so, consider a bit of hitstop

[wheat monolith]

My name is Yuriy. I'm from Ukraine. I’m a game software engineer with solid commercial experience, and I’d like to help someone learn game development while also practicing my English.

During our sessions we will use Unity, and we’ll actually build a real game together step by step. We’ll start with a simple 2D platformer so you can clearly understand the basics of how games are built, and then turn it into a complete playable game in Unity.

I have good experience in game development and can work on many different types of games, so during the process I’ll also explain important concepts like gameplay programming, game architecture, mechanics, debugging, and how real development workflows work.

This is completely free. I’m not charging anything because my main goal is simply to practice speaking English while teaching.

My English level is around B1, so I’m looking for someone patient who is comfortable talking during the lessons 😊. We’ll just communicate normally while building the game - discussing ideas, solving problems

Ideally, I’m looking for someone from the USA who is 22+ years old, just so it’s easier to have natural conversations and similar interests.

We could start with 2- 3 sessions per week, but we can discuss the schedule and details together.

If you’re interested in learning how to make games and want to build something real together, feel free to message me on Discord and we can talk 😎

[gray frigate]

you briefly pause the game to highlight an impact

[gray frigate]

you'll want to post this on Unity's Discussions site!

[sacred sand]

Yes, parry and attack

[gray frigate]

the sweep effect on the enemy weapon should not appear if you parry them

it looks like they swung through you

the shake on the camera is a good idea, but I think it should be much snappier

so, faster shaking that doesn't last as long

you could also add a slight zoom that gets stronger with each hit

[sacred sand]

The sweep is present at all times when swinging, thought it makes the attack pop morr

[woeful loom]

hello,
i would like to ask for someone to come 1 on 1 call with me to help me fix a problem, i've been looking at forums and i can't find the solution, might be something dumb but i can't figure it out so please

[gray frigate]

explain your issue!

[gray frigate]

right, but it's causing visual confusion here

if I see a big sweep that goes through my character, I assume I've been hit

kill the sweep and show some sparks or something

actually, you do have some sparks

make them shoot out way faster

basically, make it all faster!

[woeful loom]

i can't manage to zero the object as needed, trying to get the parts of the wheel to all be at 0,0,0 while being in the correct location, that is the best i can explain it

[gray frigate]

first, make sure your scene view is set to "Pivot", not "Center"

or else the handles won't actually show you the origin of each object

To adjust the origin of something, you can either:

• edit the model so that its origin is in the right spot
• parent the model to an empty object, then adjust the model so that it aligns with its parent properly

[woeful loom]

(in prefab) I am currently doing the second option with the "empty object" its a wheel collider but as far as I understand if I move the parts now the same object will later keep the same coordinates in the normal scene mode ?

which would make it not 0,0,0

[gray frigate]

When you place a prefab in the scene (or in another prefab!), you get a prefab instance. If you make any changes to the instance, you'll get an override – this is shown with a blue bar and bold text in the inspector

So, if you mess with the offset on a specific prefab instance, changes to the original prefab will have no effect

(so, don't do that!)

[woeful loom]

like I said i'd love to get a call as im not too skilled and would probably understand it faster / easier

response please ?

[storm patio]

we don't have VCs here, it kinda negates the benefits of having a community server to begin with

[worldly cave]

theres nothing a call would make easier to explain/understand that text wont

[tiny silo]

Hi, sorry my saga with optimising the bullets continues. I'm making a bullet hell game and the bullets use a shader I made in shader graph which makes them slowly shrink and grow on a sine wave to give them a bouncy feel. It worked fine, but after putting my bullets in a sprite atlas, they come out looking like these balls of remnants of the atlas they came from.
What I think is happening is the scale going up and down is based on the centre of the atlas

So I'm wondering if there's a way to adjust the shader graph to focus specifically on the sprite in the atlas rather than the atlas as a whole

[hearty prairie]

Can someone help me with layers, cause im trying to put my tilemap behind the player but it just doesnt work.

[woeful loom]

as a beginer i beg to differ as sometimes its quite nice to get a direction as in "the green thing"

[storm patio]

imma be real, guiding someone via vc/stream is extremely frustrating

[woeful loom]

that i do know

[storm patio]

but yeah VCs are just overall not great in comparison to text channels

these have permanence and publicity

[storm patio]

how are they set up?

[near wigeon]

#1390346776804069396

[hearty prairie]

so i have my layer background on 6 and my player on 5 and i also set up a renderer sorting layer but it just doesnt work my player still goes behind the tilemap

[storm patio]

those layers aren't relevant, it's just the sorting layers

[woeful loom]

yea but the voice chat does allow for faster transfer of information and makes it easier to detect a miss match or realise someone has understood something in a wrong way

[hearty prairie]

wait let me send a picture

[storm patio]

in my experience, a lot more is said but less is actually communicated

[near wigeon]

& VC is too much of a commitment, ain't noone tryina do that

[storm patio]

there's a 4th thing now??

or is rendering layers a urp thing or something?

[hearty prairie]

no clue

omg that might be it

[near wigeon]

rendering layers for things like Decals etc.

[woeful loom]

fair enough, i gtg but i would still love to help on my problem, also i prefer the voice chat for the privacy reason, you know less of the feeling dumb thing

[hearty prairie]

so what do i use than?

rendering layer or sorting layer?

[storm patio]

so do your sprites/tilemap have the proper sorting layer set?

[near wigeon]

sorting layers is for things like sprites yes

[tiny silo]

Shouldn't entities be the bottom one?

[hearty prairie]

yes

[storm patio]

these are no more private than these channels and you can't go back to regain knowledge

[worldly cave]

How is vc more "private" than text chat 🧐

[hearty prairie]

player is on entities and tilemap is on background

[tiny silo]

Yeah shouldn't they be swapped?

[storm patio]

also, because of people not wanting to VC, you're more at risk of getting poor support lmao

[hearty prairie]

still goes like this

[woeful loom]

mostly because its in a dm so you don't have multiple people seeing it

[tiny silo]

Hmm how about their materials?

[storm patio]

oh, yikes. that's even worse

[worldly cave]

but the whole point is that multiple people can see it...

thats the entire point of this being a server to begin with

[hearty prairie]

i did check them but from what ive seen they are the right materials

ill screen it

its sprite-lit-default

[storm patio]

yeah pretty sure unovi's right, it renders top to bottom, so the background layer should be at the top, above default

[hearty prairie]

let me try

[tiny silo]

Admittedly idk much about tiling but yeah it renders top to bottom, I just checked mine to make sure

[hearty prairie]

THANK UUUUUUUUU

[storm patio]

so only 1 person can answer, and if they're wrong you have noone to clarify or correct, and if they can't help you you have to re-explain the entire thing to someone else, and it also requires you both to be free at the same time

[near wigeon]

its like UI, because bottom = drawn last therefore ontop

[hearty prairie]

love u bro

[tiny silo]

Lol I've forgotten at times which order is drawn first

[gritty dagger]

sorry where can i get help ?

[hearty prairie]

i mean i just started so im watching turtorials but i guess back than there wasnt aany sorting layers

why would you post the command

[hearty prairie]

ohh ok

[worldly cave]

that shadow looks like distance clipping on your camera

[storm patio]

i'm just tired of it tbh. seems to have turned into a pet peeve at this point

[gritty dagger]

and what can i do with it

[worldly cave]

pretty sure you adjust it here

[storm patio]

try selecting something and press F, or double click something in the hierarchy, to focus that object and reset zoom/clipping planes

[hearty prairie]

one more question how do u delete tiles when placing down tiles with the tilemap

[gritty dagger]

it doesn't solve the problem

[storm patio]

eraser tool from the tile palette

[gritty dagger]

or it isn't possible to remove that fog

[storm patio]

probably should be

i wouldn't know though

[gritty dagger]

also but what to do if i accidently launched a endless while loop and now i can't play scene or do something , what to do

[near wigeon]

nothing you can do but End Task

[gritty dagger]

🙁

how to avoid such situations then

[lapis gate]

dont use while loops

[near wigeon]

don't make infinite loops

[stuck flower]

Write code that can actually end

[craggy pollen]

i cant remember i ever used a while loop inside unity

[lapis gate]

surprisingly recursion can cause a stackoverflow giving you a way out

[hearty prairie]

does anyone know whats causing these lines. I already checked if i cut the tiles out of the png wrong but i didnt but there is still these lines for some reason. When i press play they disappear for a second than come back and when i move they move.

[storm patio]

are you using a pixel-perfect camera?

[hearty prairie]

how can i check?

[balmy kettle]

also make sure you aren't zooming the game view in as that causes weird issues like that

[storm patio]

check your camera object and see if it has a pixel-perfect camera component

chances are you aren't since you asked lmao

[hearty prairie]

i am indeed not

[craggy pollen]

do these lines only appear when you move?

[hearty prairie]

when i stand still they stand still

but only in certain spots they appear

[craggy pollen]

you can solve that by using a sprite atlas

[near wigeon]

IEnumerator Boo(float time, Action doIt){
        var t = 0f;
        while (t < time){
            t += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }
        doIt?.Invoke();
    }```

[hearty prairie]

i added the pixel perfect camera but to be honest idk how to use it

@storm patio how do i set it up if u dont mind explaining

[storm patio]

configure it with proper PPU and such

there's only a few boxes to fill

make sure your sprites are set up properly for pixelart as well

filter point, compression none, proper ppu

[hearty prairie]

ok i have some learning to do cause i have no clue what those things are

[storm patio]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.pixel-perfect@6.0/manual/index.html

[hearty prairie]

thank u'

[craggy pollen]

now that you poszed that i actually found a script i used something similar. i was using that in a couroutine for camshaking

[near wigeon]

yea I use something like this to do different actions using the same timer setup

[storm patio]

why not a WaitForSeconds there

[craggy pollen]

and to avoid abusing the update methode with too much spaghetti code

[near wigeon]

one less object to make each timer no?

this is also very good when in the loop i may have a Random.range or sum for timer

[balmy kettle]

yeah if this is being used frequently with different times then using the while loop reduces allocations

[storm patio]

ah, fair enough

[storm patio]

yeah i thought that was just omitted from the example but when you mentioned #💻┃unity-talk message i reinterpreted it to mean you were basically using this exact thing

[near wigeon]

so yea while loops! 🔥

[lapis gate]

You can cache yield events. Latest vs code unity update now warns you about new allocations too

[graceful wedge]

i have a very specific issue. i am trying to project an object with blendshapes onto a different curved object idk how i would do this. how do i do it?

[hearty prairie]

@storm patio i have a problem with setting up the snapping thing. Idk where it is. I cant find it

[storm patio]

please do not ping specific people for help

[hearty prairie]

my bad

[storm patio]

there's multiple "snapping things", what are you referring to

[hearty prairie]

i dont even know to be honest its the docs from the pixel perfect thing u sent in the chat

it says its in edit but i dont see it

[remote needle]

does it not guide you in the docs?

[hearty prairie]

it does but i dont see it

[remote needle]

perhaps you missed a step?

[storm patio]

there's multiple "snapping things" in those docs

be more specific please

[hearty prairie]

its where u put in the values devided by the ppu

move x/y/z

[storm patio]

so the scene snap settings

do you have the scene toolbar enabled

[hearty prairie]

yes

[storm patio]

it's the one that looks like a ruler with a magnet iirc

i don't have unity open right now

[hearty prairie]

aha i think i found it

this right?

[storm patio]

yes

[hearty prairie]

ok thanks

[polar basalt]

if i have classes that inherit for this class, but i only want to find the base, what can i do?

like i only want to find that class, not every one that inherits from it

[near wigeon]

pop out the other search and it will give you the parent only afaik

should see icon next to searchbar

Hi, just a little question, I am coding a game when I build it for web everything okey with my PC but when I buld it for Windows it seems that it takes a lot of resources

it's open source if you need to take a look at the code

[gloomy hare]

they're different architectures
I find web builds take way longer than windows builds, but is there an actual issue here other than it's intensive?

[fair terrace]

thank you for the quick answer, effectively the time it takes is a part of the question but it's about the build its self, when I launch the game on Windows it seems not optimized

[gloomy hare]

are your build profiles the same? web builds probably set quality way lower

[fair terrace]

I haven't dig in this sens

I've leaved everything by default in Windows

Also for the web

you can take a look on Unity Play, it's okey for web but as I said on Windows it's hard
here it is https://play.unity.com/en/games/f5a3f475-169b-4497-ad4f-fe607df8e105/wargame

sorry for the screens

of course you can see that I am new to Unity, btw, I am following the Unity Tanks Tutorial

[flat breach]

hello, I just don't understand but why isn't a navmesh agent getting detected by trigger colliders?

[balmy kettle]

#💻┃unity-talk message
#💻┃unity-talk message

[flat breach]

I've tried with rigidbodies and it doesn't work, the physics unity doc doesn't explain that neither

[balmy kettle]

You need to actually provide details about what you've tried

[flat breach]

I've tried without rigidbodies, so just a collider on the enemy and the trigger zone, with a rigidbody onto the enemy(continous dynamic) and the trigger zone with a trigger box collider

I think it's all I've tried

[balmy kettle]

Show it

[balmy kettle]

And where is the component with the OnTriggerEnter?

[flat breach]

onto the trigger box collider, I just removed it because it didn't work, lemme show u as it was before

[balmy kettle]

Someone else can help you then. For future reference, when trying to get help with something don't just completely tear down what isn't working, it's not helpful when someone has to ask for every little detail because you either aren't providing it or you've gone and deleted it

[flat breach]

like this

[flat breach]

what should I do then?

I don't know how to make it work, what else could I say apart from the things which haven't worked

[balmy kettle]

Provide all of the relevant details so someone who cares can actually attempt to help you rather than making them pull teeth to get any useful information

[cursive acorn]

alright, i got an issue where im using unity navmesh, and it has a capsule collider. now heres the thing, my code is using OnTriggerEnter(). How do i deal with this? convert everything into OnCollisionEnter? or is there a way to using a trigger collider?

[lapis gate]

Do you mean that you're using AI agents and it uses a navigation collider

If you want to use your own controller you don't use agents and just read the pathing heading and apply that to your direction/velocity

[cursive acorn]

im using navmesh agent, and the enemy has the capsule collider in its child object, using 'is trigger' is causing it to fall through the floor when dashing and then reappearing

[lapis gate]

Sounds odd, trigger colliders shouldn't affect pathfinding. They usually are glued to the navmesh when using agents

[cursive acorn]

oh hold up, i think i may had found the issue...

say... do navmesh agents need a rigidbody?

[lapis gate]

no, they dont work well together

Agents you can consider as another character controller

[cursive acorn]

ah

alright so heres what was happening

[lapis gate]

If you want physics with pathfinding then it's something custom you need to do

Usually kinematic rigidbody

[cursive acorn]

i couldnt figure out how to get the navmesh agent to dash, so i would disable navmesh, have it dash using physics rigidbody, update the navemesh position and then enable it. setting the collider to trigger was causing it to fall through the floor because it had a rigidbody on

[lapis gate]

You can kinda make it work if you do toggle agents and rigidbody on and off, but it's too crusty

Unity's agents are snappy for some reason and if they do linger off the navmesh they snap back onto it.

[cursive acorn]

i see

[lapis gate]

Yeah, better off just getting the values from the pathfinding and applying the directional values yourself in a custom controller

[cosmic igloo]

its weird how invasive nav agents are

in my mind it should just do pathfinding not also movement

[cursive acorn]

Ill have to see if i should figure out dash through navmesh or enable/disable rigidbody method.

[cosmic igloo]

I think i remember being able to leave it disabled and still getting it to output a path

[cursive acorn]

the issue with navmesh is that if you are close enough to the enemy, you can walk around them and they wont turn to face you

[cosmic igloo]

rly?

[lapis gate]

A* project by aarongberg has some better controllers for this stuff and an actual API you can dig into. It's pricey but the free version gives you access to most of what you usually want.

[cursive acorn]

yea, i had to use Quaternion.LookRotation to keep facing the player

[lapis gate]

If you want actual swarm logic though, that's what the price point on and Unity's AI are terrible at it

[cursive acorn]

multiple enemies, different behaviors from melee to ranged and certain movesets, etc...

could a* manage all that?

[digital sparrow]

can someone give feedback on atmosphere on this mini demo

[worldly cave]

#1180170818983051344 is for feedback

[digital sparrow]

oops

not really tryna make a devlog but shit why not

[sonic ferry]

hello

[worldly wind]

Is there a channel where people discuss off-topic or things unrelated to Unity in general?

[drowsy hull]

So, this is a project from the unity pathway, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why this scene has a black background. It's not any of the objects in the scene, as far as I can tell?

[near wigeon]

camera backgorund color?

[drowsy hull]

Ah, there we go. Hidden away in the collapsed enviroment tab.

Thank you

[noble saffron]

I think I gotta ask again since it's kinda bothering me

Is there anyway to put attack vfx (for attack timing), and status effect vfx (buff, debuff thing) when it comes to 2.5D Sprite Entity Stuff Ingame?

[bleak mantle]

so I'm trying to my model character to a game and for some reason its texture now is just this. can someone help me why this is happening

[wild cradle]

Hey Everyone
What's the best AI model you guys find that works best with Unity
Thanks

[wild cradle]

Try changing some settings from the top right menu of the scene view
Like changing wireframe etc
If that's happening for all the models

[bleak mantle]

nothing seems to work

[wild cradle]

Are all models showing like this?

[bleak mantle]

nope, just that

[wild cradle]

Have you tried reimporting this?

[latent lake]

help im using vs and idk what i clicked on but now it shows this selection thingy instead of a line and it behaves weirdly

[copper gust]

#1202574086115557446

[bleak mantle]

idk what i changed from blender but it just doesnt work anymore eith the textures

[copper gust]

Insert key

[crimson vigil]

i am working on a game that is to be controlled by a bluetooth controller. i want the menu to be navigable using the joystick and its buttons, it works fine with buttons in the menu, but for dropdown when i select them and press the submit button of the eventsystem, the dropdown opens briefly but then immedietly closes. how can i fix this?

[copper gust]

I think thats #📲┃ui-ux

[latent lake]

thanks

[bleak mantle]

older versions of the same model now just appear like one from the screenshot

heres a full screenshot of the issue if anyone can find it

[timid sparrow]

hello can i send here code for help ? i need help with CoyoteTime

[slow dirge]

#💻┃code-beginner or create a thread in #1390346827005431951

[timid sparrow]

thank you

[bitter tapir]

can someone please help me. i cant paint trees. also mass place is not working

few minutes ago i was able to paint. but still in that also i cant uncheck random tree rotation

[latent meadow]

have you tried closing and re-opening?

[bitter tapir]

yep

[latent meadow]

if it was literally working moments ago, with the same prefab, i'd try deleting the library and letting it rebuild, short of any console messages

[bitter tapir]

i cant uncheck rotation also.

so my trees aren't standing straight. it looks like a fell down trunk

[latent meadow]

if you do not want to try the suggestion, perhaps just talk to #⛰️┃terrain-3d

[cursive acorn]

is it possible to enable/disable the rigidbody in some way?

[primal thunder]

Can someone help me with this, my animations from blender are not correctly exported.

[cursive acorn]

what are your export settings

[primal thunder]

Here

[cursive acorn]

and the animations are also linked to fake users?

as in, all the animations have the shield icon active?

[night leaf]

Hi

Who know the good unity coureses

cources

[primal thunder]

Yeah

[primal thunder]

Yes

[cursive acorn]

what about the animations in the animation tab in unity?

after you export the model

are they playing just fine or is there an issue there too?

[latent meadow]

note, you do not need leaf bones for export to Unity.
There is are #🔀┃art-asset-workflow and #🏃┃animation rooms which will be helpful. also, Blender to Unity is sometimes a bit of an art form. perhaps find some good tutorial videos on the subject

[latent meadow]

you'll probably want to talk directly to #⚛️┃physics about that one

[latent meadow]

[primal thunder]

The animations work in the preview - the main issue seems to be that the animations work only in the instance of the model they were imported with i.e they dont work with the older version of the model, even though the rig is identical

[latent meadow]

best to talk to the mentioned room #🏃┃animation

[worn zephyr]

Hey guys quick question, anyone have any idea why I get this error everytime I try to enable Unity Version Control? 😭

[latent meadow]

are you in a country that allows it?
Maybe see if the logs say anything,, not sure Which log that would be though..

is that in the Hub?

[worn zephyr]

Im in the United States, so It should...

[latent meadow]

indeed

[worn zephyr]

Im confused what you mean by this

[storm patio]

the unity hub

[latent meadow]

Where are you clicking that? Where is that dialogue box?

[worn zephyr]

Right before I create the project

[latent meadow]

then, that would be in the Hub., so check the hub logs

[worn zephyr]

This path doesnt even exist in my files 😭 Im on Mac

[latent meadow]

so this is your first project?

[worn zephyr]

Yup!

On this Computer yeah

[sly lake]

Which Library folder is this?

/Library
or ~/Library?

Note the ~ symbol

[worn zephyr]

The one in Macintosh HD, I dont know how to navigate to a specific file path on Mac yet

[sly lake]

🙂

Yeah, that's the issue

[worn zephyr]

Ah I found it thank you

[storm patio]

there's a root Library and there's a separate user library

[sly lake]

~ is UNIX shorthand for "user home folder"

[storm patio]

~ means the home directory, so from root (macintosh hd), you'd go to Users then your user folder

[worn zephyr]

I found my info-log.json file

Ohhhh thanks guys

[storm patio]

if you have a direct path you could also open a terminal and do open "~/Library/Application Support/UnityHub/logs" (to open the folder in Finder, for example)

[worn zephyr]

Ooh I didnt know that, thats cool

[worn zephyr]

Hey! I found my logs file, what am I supposed to be looking for?

[storm patio]

newer logs are at the bottom, so look for errors near the bottom

[worn zephyr]

These are the four lines that popped up after I unchecked and checked the box again:

[woeful loom]

can someone explain to me whi the pivot is nowhere near my selected object and how can i fix it ?

[storm patio]

these are all level: info logs, so these aren't anything out of the ordinary

[worn zephyr]

Oh, every single line is of that type

The .json file somehow has an error 💀

[storm patio]

oh yeah that's because it's not json

it's jsonl

so something trying to read it as json would report errors

[latent meadow]

Pivot is initially defined by the original models placement of it (Origin). is this an asset, or a model you made? also, perhaps clicking on Pivot, visible in your screenshot, will allow you to select Center, which may be enough for your purposes

[worn zephyr]

oh, should I change the file type?

[storm patio]

nah it's fine

[worn zephyr]

okay

[storm patio]

you can just ignore the syntax errors

[worn zephyr]

alright

[storm patio]

(json is 1 object per file, jsonl is 1 object per line, hence the l - it's json lines)

[worn zephyr]

ohhhh

interesting

Already learned like 4 new things today lol

[storm patio]

try searching through the file for warn or error i guess?

[worn zephyr]

Okay!

Holy

I really dont think you will wanna read through this 😭, I think I found something though

[storm patio]

mmm, that has a token

[woeful loom]

the problem i have is that the pivot is where the object should be but the object itself doesn't "center" with the pivot

[storm patio]

delete this message, you've leaked a token

[worn zephyr]

Oops 😭 Didnt even know

[storm patio]

i mean that does say it's just a warning...

i also noticed similar logs in my own log file and i haven't had any issues (though, i don't use unity cloud)

[latent meadow]

that does not make much sense without futher details.

[worn zephyr]

I dont even know where to go from here

I was just kinda wanting to collab with a friend

[hasty venture]

hello everyone

[storm patio]

might i recommend git

[worn zephyr]

Yeah buttttttt

I thought it would just be easier

To do it through Unity you know

[hasty venture]

Sorry to interrupt is there anywhere here i can post a question?

[storm patio]

well the principles of version control don't really change between them.. though i haven't used uvc so i can't say how similar or different they are to use

I have tried blender and also making sure my unity version and UniVRM versions are compatible

[storm patio]

hm, vrm is like, "for" vrchat but not necessarily only used for vrchat, then? i'm not familiar with the ecosystem there

[hasty venture]

I got this vrm from vroid studio

new to most of it myself so i cant give u a accurate answer

[latent meadow]

.vrm is an open source 3d file format, i'd say Mostly used with vrchat and vroid

[storm patio]

ah, my mistake then

would it be appropriate to redirect vrm stuff to the vrchat server?

[latent meadow]

yeah, i think you did the right thing. we certainly do not support anything like that here, and those guys use it all day long. they might even end up on a Blender server. i was just pointing out what vrm was, since you mentioned you were not familiar with it (autopilot)

[sly lake]

It's an anime character maker. There's a dedicated Unity importer for it

[barren nacelle]

Having to manually put in the textures for the assets I get on the unity asset store is such a pain T_T

There should be a easier way to do it smh

[violet thunder]

Not a huge asset store user but why? Aren't the textures assigned in the materials already?

[latent meadow]

yeah, sounds like an outlier asset, or user error

[barren nacelle]

Well most of the assets made in unity store are for hdrp apparently
I’m on urp and everytime I get a asset from the store it’s usually displays in pink so I have to manually switch the shaders and put in the textures for each object

I can’t be the only one who has experienced this when getting stuff from unity asset store right?

[latent meadow]

i've never tried, but the URP converter does not go from hdrp to urp?

render pipeline converter

[copper gust]

most people on urp simply don't use hdrp assets

[barren nacelle]

Well not really, sometimes it does convert it to urp but that’s all it does it doesn’t transfer over the original textures from the objects so you’re left with a whiteish color from your object

[worldly cave]

Also i highly doubt "most" assets are hdrp assets

If anything i only ever see urp assets on the asset store

[latent meadow]

unfortunate

[worldly cave]

Yeah the converter only really does birp to urp and hdrp

Not hdrp to urp and vice versa

[barren nacelle]

Most of the assets I need are usually made using hdrp so

[violet thunder]

What shaders are you converting between? HDRP Lit -> URP Lit?

[worldly cave]

What kind of assets are those?

[barren nacelle]

Yes

[barren nacelle]

Basic assets, like maps characters etc

[violet thunder]

Does URP Lit even use a maskmap? 🤔

[worldly cave]

Honestly for like 99% of those i see on the asset store, they typically offer both hdrp and urp versions

It would be odd for an asset to release today and not do that

[latent meadow]

yeah,. a lot of times, they include a converter/replacer within them

[worldly cave]

Most assets that are locked to a single pipeline are typically more technical stuff

Like backporting hdrp stuff into urp

[violet thunder]

This alone makes it kinda complex, HDRP combines 3-4 textures into a mask map and URP uses separate textures

[copper gust]

nah this is just unity being lazy

urp prop names

hdrp prop names

converter doesn't handle going from _BaseMap and _BaseColorMap

[violet thunder]

Thats pretty sad

[latent meadow]

you can make a custom URP Lit that can do that.. might make the conversion slightly easier

[violet thunder]

^That's probably the best option. Make a URP shader that mimics HDRP lit

[copper gust]

@barren nacelle is it just the main texture your strugglign with?

[violet thunder]

With the exact same property names

[worldly cave]

Honestly if 'most' of your assets are hdrp, why not just switch to hdrp

[barren nacelle]

Kinda yea

[copper gust]

gimmie a sec lemme see if i can help

[worldly cave]

Is there any particular reason youre using urp over hdrp to begin with 🧐

[barren nacelle]

I heard urp was just better and I can use it to make game that can switch between mobile and pc

[worldly cave]

Its not nescessarily better but yes if youre planning a mobile release its almost certainly the more appropriate option

[copper gust]

@barren nacelle no idea if this will work but chuck this script in a folder named "Editor"

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

public static class MatConverter
{
    [MenuItem("Tools/Try Convert Materials")]
    private static void MatConvert()
    {
        IEnumerable<Material> allMats = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Material")
                .Select(x => AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(x))
                .Select(x => AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<Material>(x));

        foreach (Material mat in allMats)
        {
            if (!mat.shader.name.Contains("Universal Render Pipeline")) continue;

            if (mat.HasProperty("_BaseColorMap"))
                mat.SetTexture("_BaseMap", mat.GetTexture("_BaseColorMap"));
        }

        Debug.Log("Tried Converting: " + allMats.Count() + " Materials.");
    }
}

[barren nacelle]

This the exact same code that’s already in the editor folder

[copper gust]

what do you mean

[barren nacelle]

Uh like, so this code u want me to paste in the editor folder is already there

With this exact code you gave

[copper gust]

this feels like a creepypasta

i wrote that code i sent you

for you

if it is magically somehow already there.. run it?

[barren nacelle]

I already am

Btw is this code supposed to convert all the objects to urp from hdrp?

[copper gust]

no

[barren nacelle]

Then what’s it for

[copper gust]

its meant to find materials using urp lit, see if they had a hdrp texture and set it to the urp texture slot

[red zodiac]

Hi

Help me make game

[violet thunder]

Is it gtag fan game

[barren nacelle]

Hmm, well I checked the editor folder you said to paste the code you gave in but it already had the code in it
Maybe it’s cuz I already set most of the shader asset to urp lit

[red zodiac]

Nien no

[barren nacelle]

Idk tbh I’m kinda confused

[copper gust]

i mean im going to be real

you do not already have that code

i wrote it

that does not make sense

Struggled just yesterday to convert materials from Synty's custom shader to URP standard lit

So GLTFast picks it up

[copper gust]

it would be really nice if there was like a editor tool where it's paired values that are dropdowns between property names

if that makes sense

[sly lake]

Is there actually a tool for this?
Seems easy enough to select two shaders and map material properties to convert.

[copper gust]

probably

[sly lake]

Also you were just told this in #⛰️┃terrain-3d 😐

[gray frigate]

Correct

I wrote a script to get rid of orphaned objects from a gigantic animator controller asset

I could have parsed the YAML and actually walked the references to figure out what wasn't used

instead, i just found each YAML document and then checked if its fileID only appeared once in the file

i deleted those documents, then repeated until the file stopped changing

(this is a very bad idea if it's possible for these sub-assets to be referenced by anything outside of the animator controller)

[night vault]

Is visual scripting better for new coders or regular?

[charred fog]

Visual scripting is great for prototyping or simple projects, when you don't need to get into coding for the engine or as a support for artists. But if you are serious about learning programming you'll get much more from learning coding basics and go from there.

[sly lake]

There’s also way more resources for C#

[charred fog]

And it's a transferrable skill

[stuck flower]

Visual scripting is honestly a trap. It seems easier at first but there's literal decades of published works about how text based programming works, and most of that is going to be interchangeable between languages. The knowledge base of people who know one specific visual coding language is much smaller. If you get stuck on code, you've got a lot of help. If you get stuck on visual scripting, you're on your own.

Add on the fact that writing the code isn'r the hard part. Beginners get caught up on the syntax assuming it's complicated but it's really not, the hard part is understanding the logic and knowing what you actually want to happen, and you still have to do that in visual scripting.

So, it simplifies the easiest and most generalizable part, leaving you with only the most difficult tasks in an environment so specific no one will be able to help you.

[gray frigate]

i feel like visual scripting make the most sense when you have skilled developers that can create complex nodes

and when you have non-programmers who can string those together in very basic graphs

visual scripting makes no sense for directly recreating what you'd do in a C# script

[gray frigate]

you want to use it to configure things that would be awkward to make a custom editor for, but that you also don't want to write custom scripts for every time

it's a good idea for anything that isn't general-purpose programming, IMO

[sly lake]

It makes more sense in Unreal because their C++ "scripting" is horrible to use

[gray frigate]

just read the source code 😉

Does anyone have a issue where each level's lightmap is around 500mb to like 1gb when lightmap is 60texels? Is that bad? And what do you do to not make game be an additional GB just for one level?

Because I have 60 levels..

[sly lake]

Sixty texels is 500MB?

That’s 10MB per pixel. That’s definitely not what’s happening.

[night vault]

Oh alr thanks

[stuck flower]

Unlocked new "Mantis Shrimp" color depth.

[night vault]

Thanks

[gray frigate]

60 texels per unit, i'm guessing

That's a very high density

that means that each square meter needs 3600 pixels

That would make sense for a very small, highly detailed scene

e.g. a single room with lots of high quality models and textures in it

[sly lake]

Yeah I guess it's not that bad

[gray frigate]

it's a lot of pixels lol

[sly lake]

Unless the scene is big

[gray frigate]

consider that a 10 meter square map would need 360,000 pixels just for a flat plane

[sly lake]

That's just 600x600 though

[gray frigate]

true, yeah, I just did the math and realized it wasn't so bad

xd

It will still add up really fast for a bigger scene, of course
