[magic flume]

Hey, i have encountered an issue when developing my 2D game. I have made a function that checks what side my character is facing and where im going, and whenever i move right or left, my character flips accordingly. It works fine - byt whenever i switch moving directions my character teleports slightley to the side im moving to, does someone have a fix?

[craggy pollen]

looks like your sprite is not centered correctly

if you only flip and this happens that means there could be some kind of ofset on your sprite and it is not centered

[magic flume]

Well how do i fix it?

[craggy pollen]

fix your imported sprite

[storm patio]

set the pivot correctly in the sprite editor

[magic flume]

it is set to center

[storm patio]

and is that correct for the given sprite?

[magic flume]

how do i know whether its correct or not?

[storm patio]

if you flip it based on the pivot, does it visually stay in the same spot

[magic flume]

Then no, it's not correct

[storm patio]

find the visual center of the sprite and put the pivot there

[magic flume]

i will try it.

the pivot is set exactly at the center of the sprite, it still teleports

[balmy kettle]

is the sprite a child of the object being rotated? if it is, then it's likely not centered on the parent correctly

[magic flume]

Yes you are right it is the issue my my parent pivot is not centered correctly, how do i fix it?

[balmy kettle]

put the child object at 0,0

[magic flume]

oh wow it is that simple

[magic flume]

thanks for the help!!

[fathom path]

hi

I've got a problem with the tutorial loading could someone pls help

all the scripts says this and idk what to do im so confused

I cant continue the tutorial bc idk how to fix this

[flat spear]

hi

[fathom path]

hi

[flat spear]

seems like the scripts don't exist in your project under your Assets folder

tell me about what tutorial and what did you do to get here so i might help

[fathom path]

I downloaded this project

for tutorial

[violet thunder]

Any errors in the console window in unity?

[fathom path]

in the unity hub it was saying something deprecated

[violet thunder]

That's not very helpful

[fathom path]

one sec

[violet thunder]

Okay so that's the console, not hub

(That warning is ok for now)

Show the full console, do you have errors hidden?

[fathom path]

not but it was saying the warning in the hub while the project was loading

is that the full console?

[violet thunder]

Yeah that looks fine

Not really sure how tutorial projects work but are you using the correct unity version for that tutorial/project?

[fathom path]

hmm let me check

so how do I check which version does the tutorial need

[flat spear]

it needs to be Unity 6 or later

are you on Unity 6?

[flat spear]

ok you are using the right version

i'm downloading the learning project for you to see if i face the same error

[fathom path]

Tysm!

[violet thunder]

Looks like the pathway is for these versions

If it is this https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

[fathom path]

oh

[violet thunder]

So there's a chance that 6.4 breaks something

[fathom path]

thx

[violet thunder]

(It's very new too)

[fathom path]

I will try to download the 6.3

although

do I just download the pathway version 6.3 or is there a way to downdate my hub to 6.3

[violet thunder]

Hub and unity are separate programs and versions

Go to hub -> Installs and you can install unity versions

[fathom path]

OO ok I found it

I install this one?

[violet thunder]

Yeah

[fathom path]

tysm @violet thunder and @flat spear !!!

(sorry for the useless ping)

[flat spear]

no problem !

[violet thunder]

Works now?

[fathom path]

im still downloading the 6.3 version But Im hoping it will work

[outer barn]

Hello does anybody know why i cant open any of my projects and keep getting this error (Access is denied.) (unity 6.3LTS)

[craggy pollen]

where did you locate the projects

[bleak sable]

on my desktop in a folder

[craggy pollen]

ok go gointo the project folder and remove the library folder

[bleak sable]

tried that nope did not fix it

[craggy pollen]

library folder , temp folder and .csproj file ,
remove alle of these together and try again

[quartz sky]

hi chat

[craggy pollen]

hi

[bleak sable]

now i get this error

[reef surge]

yaal got any water material that moves pls?

[craggy pollen]

you can find free water shader all over the internet

https://assetstore.unity.com/search#q=water shader&nf-ec_price_filter=0...0

[reef surge]

thnx

[quartz sky]

how are you

[craggy pollen]

i am fine and how are you

[quartz sky]

same

[cerulean cape]

uhmm, guys please help?

[storm patio]

with what exactly?

we can't read your mind

[cerulean cape]

Move the square to match the sprite

[tiny roost]

Hello

[storm patio]

what's the box, a collider?

[cerulean cape]

yes

[storm patio]

change the size and offset values

iirc for box collider there's also an edit collider button you could use to drag the edges

[cerulean cape]

Got it, thanks

[quartz sky]

looks nice

[alpine comet]

Why does the asset store package content has preview but everything preview is just unity logo lol

[worldly cave]

its there for textures.

its also mostly useless

[alpine comet]

oooh i didnt know that

could be usefull if they also used preview for sounds, models etc...

[worldly cave]

you can typically preview models directly in the store page, as most creators show images of how it looks to begin with

[frozen pine]

Anyone familiar with the "image sequence" feature in the Recorder package having issues with adding Alpha channel?? Seems like a broken feature unless I'm doing something horribly wrong, lol

[frozen pine]

I'm stumped, 2 year old or older tutorials are no longer working. Been up all night trying to figure this out, haha

[torpid cave]

how is learning unity HLSL? ive been using shadergraph and heard HLSL is better

[sly lake]

Writing HLSL in Unity is a mess. There’s no public API for it, no documentation. You can modify and copy what’s there, but it’s not designed to be extended.

[sly lake]

This site is a good resource. Probably much better for starting out than a giant game engine codebase.

https://shaderacademy.com/explore

[wispy pollen]

how do i make a hole in the wall for the door but not messing up the texture aswell?

[craggy pollen]

you´d need to do that with your 3d modeling software

[shadow heron]

Are you using probuilder? or did you just import it from blender?

[wispy pollen]

probuilder

ive been trying to use the subtraction bool tool but it doesnt work

[shadow heron]

Add loopcuts to the wall and adjust where you want it, then select the face then delete the face on one side. select the other face and move it to where the other face was (the one you deleted).

[wispy pollen]

ok

[mighty flume]

please help a fool . what the hell, I have a dark box if in the scan I put it in the light area*?? and the question is still there is a button like in blender "make a scan on a plane" ? it was very convenient in blender

[wispy pollen]

it worked thx idk why i didnt think of that

[worldly cave]

im not entirely sure but i dont think unity has uv unwrapping options, youre better off doing this in blender

[plain dagger]

Pro builder has some tools but not how you should do things long term

[frozen pine]

anyone familiar on image sequencing on the Recorder plugin?

[limber venture]

I've got a question about joints. On ragdoll characters i can see that joints are basically added in an inverted pattern. arm has joint that attaches it to the forearm, forearm to arm and etc, not the other way around.

I'm working on something where the character has to hold an object with both arms. Following the before mentioned logic, should the object contain two joints linking it to the hands? Im having difficulty finding information on this topic, and chatgpt changes its opinion lol

[worldly cave]

Anyone got any recommended third party solutions for URP volumetric fog and lighting?

i see theres a few on the asset store but i was wondering if there was some definitive one people like to use

[balmy kettle]

it's been a while since i used it, but i got the one from kronnect in a bundle or a sale a couple years ago and it was fairly easy to get working

[worldly cave]

noted

thanks

still happy to hear if anyone uses anything else

theres almost too many options here

overchoice hitting hard

[vernal skiff]

does anyone here use mudstack or anchorpoint?

[fathom path]

so um no I ran into more problems

for context I installed unity 6.3 and uninstalled unity 6.4

but now ukm

so now um

I have like 5 problems messages

nvm all worked out now thx!

[flat breach]

hello, what does replace the CinemachineTransposer now?

[jovial plover]

anybody know how to fix this? the spine doesnt move at all unless i enable the root in the avatar mask of the animator (which i dont want to enable because it messes up the character and moves the entire body), but if i disable the root in the avatar mask, the spine doesnt move at all

it works completely fine (as in the entire body doesnt move) when im using a generic rig

im using a humanoid rig currently

[hard parcel]

How do i get testers / feedback for the ui framework i developed ? how does it usually works ?

[balmy kettle]

assuming it is for unity, you can post in #1180170818983051344 to request people test it and provide feedback

[hard parcel]

well yea its for unity, its a react like framework for unity ui toolkit

unlike react-unity, its written purly with c#/ and uitoolkit elements

[crisp light]

i found a cocroach chilling on my keybord while typing

[uneven coral]

uhh what do i do?? im working on a unity project with 2 other people

[near wigeon]

you did not add the proper git ignore file and are uploading the cache folder which you should not be doing

[uneven coral]

ohyeah uhh i setup my project in the repo that i created

i do have the gitignore setup though

[near wigeon]

if you're uploading the library folder you did not setup gitignore properly

[oblique oracle]

Hi

[uneven coral]

this is what it looks like

github chose it for me

[near wigeon]

so did you put it at the root of your project before doing the initial commit

[uneven coral]

the repo looks like thius

[hushed hamlet]

Hah we've all been there. At least it's fixed 😄

But yeah why git is so helpful

[near wigeon]

thats not the root of the project

[uneven coral]

do i put it in the folder

[near wigeon]

the name of your game is the folder yes thats what you upload

[uneven coral]

supposed to put the game under my repo right

[zenith bobcat]

is there a way of making a very high poly asset into low poly without losing texture or it looking deformed

[near wigeon]

upload vector quanitity but the gitignore inside there

make a another repo

done easy

does anyone know why im having this issue?

Very interesting guys but why my housedoesn't have walls?

within the house you can see the walls but externally you can't

[pearl oyster]

https://unity.huh.how/models/inverted-normals

[boreal river]

I didn't have this issue before

I think this is not the problem

[digital sparrow]

Set render face to both

[boreal river]

before it was just fine

something happened I am not sure XD

I didn't touch anything

[pearl oyster]

You don't think rendering only one side of the walls is the problem?

[digital sparrow]

Lol

Is it a plane?

[boreal river]

Bro I didn't have this issue before, 1 week passed from the last time I have opened this project

[pearl oyster]

How is that relevant? You have the issue now so you still have to fix it regardless whether you had it before or not

[craggy pollen]

i am guessing you did not now it because you were looking at the house from the other side

which is a typical issue when normals are not in the right direction

[boreal river]

yes but guys do you understand what I am saying

I didn't have this issue before

at all

maybe I have to reimport assets?

[craggy pollen]

in blender you can visualize the normals, check if they are all right

[digital sparrow]

🥺?

[craggy pollen]

there is the decimate modifier in blender

it will roughly keep the shape of the mesh but reduce the faces

[copper gust]

Then look in version control and see what and when something changed

[boreal river]

I dont have a .fbx for this specific prefba

how is it possible XD?

[craggy pollen]

maybe it is anot fbx but something else

obj or some other extension

[boreal river]

I mean I have only the prefab

[copper gust]

Not true

[boreal river]

I mean I have this House_Green_Prefab its a cabin.

[copper gust]

Ok

[boreal river]

I can't see my fbx for this specific cabin

[copper gust]

Let us know when you do

[boreal river]

omg I am not sure what I have to do right now

[copper gust]

Then see when it changed in version control

[boreal river]

I mean check this out

I am adding more house of the same type and normals are fine

But I wont add new house because I have already set up everything within the house like for doors everything

I have to find a way solve this issue with the existing house

[tidal plover]

Hello! I was wondering if there is a help channel or forum anywhere

[copper gust]

Almost every channel on the server is, including this one

Drop the question in whatever most suits it

[gray dirge]

Check if you have any overrides on the inverted house. If not, that doesn't seem like something that should happen, could be a bug. I would definitely check the overrides first though. You could have accidentally changed some materials or disabled some parts of the prefab for instance

[tidal plover]

Ok thank you :)

As for the issue:
I’m somewhat of a beginner at unity. Anytime I try to apply a texture to my object it shows up in the inspector but everything is still grey. It’s driving me crazy. This is for a vr project so I figure there could be issues related to that. I also am worried about the scale of my project. I’m not sure how to make it accurate to meters, and accuracy is pretty necessary for the vr component. I don’t want it to come off as too big or too small. I’m also having trouble for whatever reason getting the floor plan to perfectly line up. I am using the inspector to change values but it still looks split or glitchy in some places.

Questions for everyone here:

1. What is the fastest easiest way to model something like this floor plan

2. What is a good way to ensure accuracy to scale/meters

[copper gust]

Good news

1 unit in unity = 1 metre

Probably probuilder for quick prototyping tool

If you have floorplan sizing it’s fairly easy for you but generally getting a standard human model and related props/furniture in the scene that has correct scale can help as a comparison tool for unique creations

[tidal plover]

I have probuilder but EVERYTIME I use it, something happens where things corrupt

[craggy pollen]

consider using blender

probuilder is really slimmed down

[tidal plover]

Blender feels a little intimidating if I’m being honest

[plain dagger]

Pro builder is okay but when you start needing to manipulate a mesh a lot then real 3d software becomes the better option

[tidal plover]

I did want to ask also how you build out floors or levels in your unity designs. I can never get anything perfectly level. Also modeling irregular shapes.

[hushed hamlet]

Also, if you aren't exporting the scene out of pro builder, it stores all the 3D geometry in the Scene. Which isn't ideal in some cases.

[plain dagger]

vertex snap movement or its all built in 3d software

[hushed hamlet]

There is specific arch viz software that can do that well. But blender you can get lots of things like generators to make this a lot easier. I'm the background image, you have a lot of cathedral details (etched surfaces etc). So I'd use blender personally.

Example:
https://starvingamedev.gumroad.com/l/rluzcc

[tidal plover]

I haven’t used blender in a while but I remember it being pretty difficult

[tidal plover]

This is really sick!

[hushed hamlet]

Fair enough it's def not for everyone

[tidal plover]

I’ve been working on this project for days, and I know unity advertises pro-builder as an easy way to build but I find it so tedious

[copper gust]

It’s a very flawed solution

[digital sparrow]

is no one tryna help me

damn

[craggy pollen]

cant you just import your audio files from the import menu

what happens when you try that

[digital sparrow]

it wont read the files

just restarted the edito and it works now lol

[boreal river]

hey guys!

Why some of my materials dont have surface options?

[craggy pollen]

because the shader is not supporting it

you are using Autodesk, try unlit or lit

just use one recommended by whatever tutorial/guide you're using, or latest version

Anyone familiar with the "image sequence" feature in the Recorder package having issues with adding Alpha channel?? Seems like a broken feature unless I'm doing something horribly wrong, lol

[dusk dock]

one of the examples Mirror comes with, I guess I have to make a new project for it though

[vivid cedar]

But it seems like whatever oyu're looking at wasn't intended as a full project or something

[dusk dock]

idk, the documentation says to open the scene in it

I see no way to actually do that though

[vivid cedar]

probably intended to happen inside your own project you've installed mirror in. Can you show me which example you are talking about?

[plucky aspen]

hi. i've changed the project from URP to HDRP on unity 6.3 LTS
i have the purple materials of doom and the quick fix button in the wizard din't work. bearing in mind i've completely removed URP now. How would I go about upgrading all my materials?
the main issue for me is terrain and trees - the terrain layers are set to what they were before, but they're still purple. the images should show>

please can i have some help fixing this?

[vivid cedar]

Any materials which cannot be automatically upgraded will need to be manually upgraded

the converter specifically explains that not all materials can be upgraded automatically

[plucky aspen]

but i've redone the terrain stuff and its still purple with new images

[vivid cedar]

Because you're still using URP materials

[rigid galleon]

Hey Praetor, have you looked into the better physics bug I reported a while ago?
I fully understand if you are still busy/didn't feel like working on that, I was just wondering as it's been a while.
Appreciate the asset you've made either way.

[plucky aspen]

so how do i change the terrain material?

[plucky aspen]

^^ this says it looks fine for me but is purple

[hollow dust]

I have imported some terrain layers but on the terrain they do not have colours? Any help?

[dusk dock]

it's this character selection example

I'm trying to open the scene mentioned here but no luck

[hollow dust]

Don't worry I was being stupid 🤣

[plucky aspen]

managed to fix this. forgot to actually change the bloody terrain material...
sorry for the inconvenience. have a nice day!

[vivid cedar]

yeah that's what I was saying change the material. I was looking up how to do that

it's in the settings somewhere

[plucky aspen]

yeah. i for some reason couldn';t find the settings 🤣
took me a minute and i felt kinda stupid afterwarcs lmao
thank you though!!

[rigid galleon]

Hey Praetor, I was wondering if you maybe investigated the better physics bug since the last time I asked.
No pressure, I fully understand if you are still busy or don't feel like working on that, I was just wondering.
Appreciate the asset you made either way!

[vivid cedar]

I definitely haven't had time to, sorry about that. My life has been quite hectic these last 6 months.

I absolutely understand, no worries whatsoever.

hi again. im trying to use fog now and apparently its not working. although i've set it to use fog. please may i have some assistance?

[plucky aspen]

oh my god... it took me like 40 re-reads to realise what i've done

problem solved

[fathom path]

what have u done

[plucky aspen]

idk i thought i fixed it but even with volumetric fog enabled the error still here

i was just stupid. turns out the error happens because i have scene view set to lit mode...

[nimble vigil]

when i select a gameobj to be static (floor in this scenario).. does this mean it becomes a static shadow caster as well or do i still need to check that box too? Just realized this after 7 months lol.

[stark halo]

Anyone have any idea how I should go about making a 3d rhythm game charting tool? I want to make a rhythm game that spawns notes in a grid like fashion coming towards you, but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to make a charting tool for this.

[violet thunder]

Like a tool that you'd use in unity editor to create the notes for the songs?

Show some examples of how it would look like, maybe something similiar to an animation window?

[stark halo]

this is an example of a game with 3d notes:

rhythia (not by me)

the game I'm making itself isn't built in unity, but I would use unity to build the editor for it

[violet thunder]

Ok so you need a runtime editor, not just in-unity-editor

Would probably look something like this

[stark halo]

a tool I would make with unity (a built tool that can run outside of unity)

[stark halo]

yes but my worry is that since it's 2d it would make it harder to visualize th3 3d grid I'm making, also it proves to be challenging if I don't want the notes to be perfectly snaped to the 3x3 grid

[violet thunder]

Well, unity has a bunch of different ways of making UI, from oldest to newest: GUI/GUILayout -> UGUI/GameObject workflow -> UI Toolkit

[stark halo]

I'm aware, my question is more about the overall structure I should follow, I'm not sure how I should format such an editor

[violet thunder]

How familiar are you with C#?

[violet thunder]

Oh so it's not like guitar hero (line of notes) but a grid instead?

Hard to tell from that screenshot

[stark halo]

I've done a bit of stuff, but not too familiar. I do a lot of java, python, and such

[stark halo]

yes

[violet thunder]

Probably want to start by just making a class that holds one song's note data

With arrays of notes

[stark halo]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/opV0_qi2Xqk?feature=share

kinda like that

[stark halo]

wdym?

[violet thunder]

For 3x3 grid editor you could just use a basic 2D timeline (like in my screenshot) with 3 tracks, but each keyframe has 3 note slots

[stark halo]

I'm thinking the output chart be smth like this:

{
    "createdWith": "ChartingTool 0.1.2",
    "lastEdited": "2025-12-20",
    "revisionNotes": "",

    "protocol": "Orbit",

    "chartID": "",
    "chartVersion": 1,

    "metadata": {

        "duration": 236220,
        "title": "",
        "author": "",
        "charter": "Lunili"
    },

    "chartSettings": {
        "grid": {"columns": 3, "rows": 3},
        "travelTime": 2000,
        "startOffset": 1200
    },

    "extras": {
        "previewTime": 32000,
        "difficulty": "hard"
    },

    "chart": [
        { "time": 2340, "cells": [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0] },
        { "time": 3000, "cells": [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0] }
    ],

    "events": [
        { "time": 2340, "actions": ["env.light.main.color:#5662F6", "view.effect.hit:1"]}
    ]
}

[stark halo]

ohh

like layers

[violet thunder]

Looks like JSON, and yes it's possible to serialize into a text file if you want

[violet thunder]

Sure

[stark halo]

yes it is, it's a example format json file I wrote

it's dummy data

[stark halo]

how would you go about making some notes go offgrid tho?

like say I want one to be at [1, 1.5]

[violet thunder]

You can always use floating points or quantized integers

[stark halo]

so manually typing in a offset? I could

[violet thunder]

Or a combo:
Note
-Beat: 4
-Offset: 0.5f

[stark halo]

yeah

[violet thunder]

I'd say just start prototyping it out in C#, see what works best

[stark halo]

this was a design idea I had a while back but I feel like it's over engineered and slightly complicated

[violet thunder]

Yeah I see the idea, can't comment on if it's intuitive or not

[stark halo]

yeah...

I might just try the track method you mentioned for now

not sure how complicated it'll be to make but we'll see

[frozen pine]

Trying to use the image sequencer on the recorder plugin and the Alpha settings seem to be broken or I'm missing something. Green i have transparency turned on in the camera background red I have it turned off. None of the pictures are removing background and adding alpha channel. Really scratching my head over this. Anyone else want to help me confirm if the Alpha feature is broken or not?

[gray frigate]

so the green image has the background color set to transparent black

and the red one has the background color set to opaque black?

ah, i see the fourth image now, whoops

and the results are:

• transparent black: nothing renders at all
• opaque black: the particles render (and you get a black background)

are you choosing unity because you think its the necessary component to make games like that, or are you choosing unity because you think its the best option for the kinds of games you want to create

[crystal tendon]

Many games developed by independent developers have created great games with this software, and I also think it's a good program for beginners.

[random stirrup]

How do i make it so it shows the lights - chatgpt says there should be a light /sun icon somewhere

[worldly cave]

chatgpt is as usually wrong...
If you want the lighting to show up in scene view you have to switch to shaded view

are you sure its "serving malware" or your isp is just blocking the site?

can you link the unity tutorial

this is an official unity tutorial?

[random stirrup]

i tried that aswell

[worldly cave]

is your light set to baked or realtime

[untold gull]

does someone know how can I make my game interact with the window of the player like kinito pet does on godot ? is there a sort of API or extention ?

[gray frigate]

this is going to be OS-specific

i'd expect you to be able to reach in to Win32 and mess with your game's window through that

I don't know where to look, though

[near wigeon]

PInvoke to the rescue

[frozen pine]

Thanks for attempting to assist on this. I think the next thing I need to try is installing different versions of Unity and seeing if this happens with all of them. Just wish the feature worked

Anyone who know why light is bleeding through? the assets are overlapping

[near wigeon]

#1390346776804069396

[gray frigate]

My hunch is that the final texture that's actually shown on your screen doesn't have a fourth channel at all

although I am curious by how the transparent example winds up not showing the particles at all

[untold gull]

ok ty

[gray frigate]

They might just be very faint, depending on how alpha is being interpreted in those thumbnail previews

(well, no, it looks like the resulting images have opaque black backgrounds either way)

i'm just trying to think of why you'd see a difference at all

It's possible that the final image is being overlaid onto a black image at the end, meaning that a transparent black background will make the particles much fainter than an opaque black background

I'd try making the particles completely opaque and seeing if they start showing up consistently

[frozen pine]

the really weird thing is if its set to white its not shown either way

[frozen pine]

Tried they just didn't show at all. Everything is on the default layer too

[frozen pine]

What do you mean by 4th channel? Like the layer?

[gray frigate]

the alpha channel, I mean

well can you rate my model??

Well it fixed its self 😒

[hushed hamlet]

Also places like r/inat or work with Indies.

Or game jams of course

[obtuse haven]

ik u prob gonna say no but can you tell me what i should fix on my model in dms

[hushed hamlet]

My thousand foot guess is it could be a hardware issue too.. if it keeps happening, check your cables and touch the screen to see if its a physical thing

[graceful light]

So it wasn’t a physical thing because it was for my monitor to my computer and when I put my mouse over, it would show my normal screen behind it(kinda wish I recorded it to show )

[hushed hamlet]

I appreciate you asking. I can't, but there is also an r/gamedev too where you can post things like models (both Reddit or the discord) for advice.

[hushed hamlet]

Odd!!! It totally looks like a physical blemish.

I'm glad it's working now though :/

Yeah I need to get a avatar uploaded and assets added to it 😮‍💨

[untold breach]

this showed up when I hit build & run, as I did many times today already with no issues

should I be worried?

what could've possibly changed for this to now show up?

restart the editor and see if it pops up again

[untold breach]

I think that worked

probably just couldn't reach the unity servers for whatever reason

[polar basalt]

does anyone know how to remove this pop up thing with AI on VsCode?
I keep accidentally clicking it and its annoying

[storm patio]

looks like that might come from the copilot extension. just a guess though, i've disabled every AI thing i can :P

[polar basalt]

and sometimes there is like a "Ask AI" thing next to quick fix and its just annoying, because if there is no quick fix it makes me think there is

[polar basalt]

i dont have co pilot extension

[storm patio]

it came with an update a few months ago

it got added automatically

[polar basalt]

how do i even remove it, i just checked extensions and its not there

[storm patio]

it was plainly visible in extensions when i found it, so maybe it's not that

[polar basalt]

ah i think i found

gimme one sec

i managed to remove it but there is a ask for edits button which does nothing

cool

[storm patio]

next option would be the chat integration then

try going through settings for stuff labelled "chat"

(going to sleep, if that doesn't turn up what you need then i guess google for it)

[polar basalt]

it was actually a little easier than that xd, i could just right click on it and change it

Hello so uh does anyone know any good documentation I can find for unity?

Genuinely speaking the ones I'm finding all vary in quality

Some are bad some are outdated

Just go to the docs and make sure you've selected your Unity version

[indigo ember]

Oh I can do that?

I don't really see an option for the unity version

[indigo ember]

Oo thanks alot

[rancid wren]

Can someone help me with smth?

I need to export some models as an OBJ

But I don't think Unity wants me to lmao

[near wigeon]

why are you exporting obj *from * unity ? 🤔

[rancid wren]

Got files from a friend but they were in .asset form, and the only way I could find was to import to Unity, export as OBJ, and import back to Blender

[sage basin]

Sounds like you should ask your friend for the actual files

[rancid wren]

I've gone round and round like a damn round of Jevil's fight, so I would rather someone just explain what I'm asking, I've asked for OBJ files, I've used AssetStudios, and UABEA, and nothing is working

[sage basin]

This really just sounds like modding, which is not a topic that this server covers or allows

[rancid wren]

Not modding, making an animation

[near wigeon]

decompiling file to modify something sure is modding

[sage basin]

And yet you're talking about UABEA and AssetStudio? These are extraction/decompliation tools, topics not allowed on the server

You need your friend to give you the actual files or share the project properly, not in a compiled format

[rancid wren]

I was told putting .asset files into them would let you convert to OBJ?

This is why i don't deal with Unity lmao

[sage basin]

Developers don't use .asset files directly, we use normal model and texture formats, so if your friend has made a project they would have imported normal files that you can just use in blender—as presumably they were created in blender or something like that to begin with

[gray frigate]

if you find REALLY old docs, they won't have the version selector

mostly docs for Unity 5 and earlier

You'll often find these when searching for Unity UI documentation

All of that stuff got moved into a package a while ago

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/index.html

annoyingly, you'll still find tons of results on Google for the ancient Unity 5 docs about it

[indigo ember]

Hm I'll check this out later thanks!

[hushed hamlet]

This is prob what you want

It works "OK", or

[uncut parcel]

Didn't really know the best channel to ask this in but I wanted to pull from public opinion. For weapon bullets, which do you think is the better overall implementation? A raycast, or a physical projectile?

[near wigeon]

why not both

there is no "better" both accomplish same task. Ultimately is up to your design of the weapon

[wild otter]

depends on the style u want for the game

[tropic portal]

Hi, i've been looking for a way to create a .bundle file containing code and audio, but i haven't been able to find anything online. Call it being blind or whatnot but i'm feeling a bit desperate. Could anyone guide me on how i can get started making it?

[sweet tartan]

put the files in a zip file and rename its extension. I'm going to guess that you're talking about AssetBundles though, and short answer is you don't put code into AssetBundles

[tropic portal]

ope, alrighty. thank you very much

[copper gust]

nitpicking phrasing but you can't put code in assetbundles

just in case someone reads that and assumes its a preference

[sweet tartan]

sure you can, just not compiled code. You could put the scripts as text into them and then compile them with roslyn at runtime. But then that spirals way out of the scope of the original question, and you'd still need code outside of the bundle to compile the code inside the bundle so it's not useful

I guess technically compiled code can go in there too as I think about it, insert an assembly as binary. Extract that, load it from memory. But again, original problems remains that you need code outside the bundle to do that

[tropic portal]

Right, i'm not sure i managed to do what i was hoping. Basically, i'm trying to get .bundle files to edit a mod for Escape from Tarkov, game which stores the voices in .bundle files. I've been using AssetStudio to extract content from the .bundle files, yet when i make one it does not behave similarly. It makes me think my .bundle files are not the same as the one in game and i don't like that. Am i doing something wrong?

[copper gust]

mod related stuff is banned in this server

not unity related

[tropic portal]

Bruh ok

[copper gust]

if you say so

probablyyyy illegal to use btw

really depends but car related stuff is heavily copywritten and trademarked and im sure whatever ai model is being used there is gobbling up plenty of that kind of stuff

[latent jay]

quick question, in a fresh unity project which direction is usually the direction that a camera should look towards?

does the camera look from +x towards -x?

[lapis gate]

unity is z+ forward, y+ up, x+ right

[opal patrol]

i found a repo on github with some assets and other folders with things i need for a project. i'm new with unity and i tried to import that but says that i need package.json but the repository doesn't have it(also the repo is from 2020, so idk if that happens cuz is old). anyone knows how to do it? https://github.com/Aleshmandr/SkyGrass

[slow dirge]

What error are you getting exactly and where?

[copper gust]

(and how are you trying to import it)

[latent jay]

so a 3d sidescroller game for example would go in in this arrows direction (camera angle, and arrow towards right side of screen), and would a topdown game have the arrow point upwards or rightwards?

[lapis gate]

3D sidescroll you can treat it similar to 2D such that you advance in the x+ direction, but there's no strict limitation to that as you can just rotate the camera position to the other side and advance right on the x- axis

[copper gust]

thats not a package

[latent jay]

ahh so the camera direction is the arrow

[copper gust]

you'd just probably copy paste the stuff in it's assets to your assets

but depending on the render pipeline your using it might not be compatible (unrelated to your current issue but pointing it out)

[opal patrol]

makes sense

thankyou

[lapis gate]

It's however you want to do it, but camera captures on the z+ axis, but moves on the x/y axis if you loaded up a 2D project

[copper gust]

no one is gonna help you with this, sorry

exporting it as a single fbx sounds nightmareish to work with too

there is more to it then that yes

and you also would not want it as 1 fbx

though worth mentioning, this probably just contains the fbx's you want

just download and look around

[potent geyser]

That's not how making games works, so there would be no reason for this asset to include a single FBX of everything you see in that screenshot.

Their sample scene would likely be that screenshot, using the individual FBX's.

[copper gust]

models for game development?

that is suprising

sure but generally games don't use the scenes modellers make outright

[potent geyser]

These asset packs are not meant to be "here's a premade scene, now use it". Most people are more interested in the individual assets to make their own scenes, or use them in different ways.

Well yeah, because that's your own model for your own game.

You're not releasing this as a pack for other people to use.

Impossible to say of course

But it's likely the screenshot scene, yes, made up of the individual assets the pack provides

As an example of their usage

[copper gust]

that is not made for game development

i mean sure

it's still not made for game development

speaking of

even if you do open this scene in unity

exporting it as 1 thing isn't supported by default be unity

a majority of game developers do not compose environments in blender

a lot of the time you outright can't because you need to do it in unity for various reasons relating to needing to interact with the objects

not sure (nor judging btw)

[deft basin]

I have a game concept I made in godot and I was wondering if unity would be a better fit.

Please give me your honest opinion.

This is the general concept and i wanted to see if unity could replicate this better

[copper gust]

yeah the issue is learning via chatgpt sucks and it is fantastic at lying to people that don't know they are being lied to

it just made some shit up to satisfy you

[vivid cedar]

this game looks very simple and could be done in literally any engine.

[copper gust]

its just telling you to find a solution

[untold breach]

yall what might be the reason for prewarm not working?

even if I set the duration to 1, when the object this is in gets instantiated they slowly spawn in

[brisk anvil]

has the quick menu for edit -> rendering -> selelcted materials -> convert selected to urp removed in 6.3?

I can't find it anymore

[deft basin]

How difficult would it be to switch over?

[copper gust]

depends on you

[deft basin]

I have very little experience with unity.. ive only played games made in it.

[brisk anvil]

it seems like the only way now is on the window -> rendering -> converter window but there is no option to convert just specific materials, anyone know where the option went?

[brisk anvil]

you really gotta try both engines and see what fits most for your needs.
I'd go over a tutorial online for a similar type of game (for movement, dialogue if you have, anything you need) and stick with what you know best

Unity would be the least limiting / most community supported for the long run

for anyone searching and seeing this in the future, the menu was removed ( ☹️ ?????) and if you want to convert specific materials without having to tick / deselect half the materials in your project, this tool on github has the same as the old functionality https://github.com/twiks228/URP-Material-Converter-for-Unity

[vivid cedar]

Not just your Unity experience. Your general programming and fame development experience

[vivid cedar]

The built in converter was not removed

[brisk anvil]

where do I find it

[vivid cedar]

Edit > Rendering > Materials > Convert Selected Built-in Materials to URP.

[vivid cedar]

Or Edit > Render Pipeline > Universal Render Pipeline > Upgrade Selected Materials to URP

[brisk anvil]

no render pipeline under edit

[vivid cedar]

Might be under assets or a different menu item now

It's still there just moved

I'm AFK

[brisk anvil]

was it said in patch notes / recent livestream? I can't find anything online about it...

[vivid cedar]

Idk, it was a long time ago. Pretty sure it moved around the time unity 6 came out, no?

[brisk anvil]

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 yesterday, 6.2 had it

I use this feature almost daily so I would've noticed 🙂

[cloud horizon]

I did a little work in Unity years ago and I want to get back into it mostly making games in 3D. I started with the Create with Code course, is it the best option or there other better options?

[surreal nexus]

I'm trying to do this in the right channel so I'm gonna ask where am I allowed to ask people about playtesting a very early concept I made.

I don't see a channel for it so if it's not allowed I'll get rid of that message and this one too.

[storm patio]

that would be #1180170818983051344

[surreal nexus]

thank you.

[surreal nexus]

Lol the only problem is I am SO not comfortable making an entire devlog for my "game" yet cause it's barely a slightly interactive experience so far, with barely anything even remotely done other than some groundwork. I'll just wait until it's got more to it. Or anything to it.

[worldly cave]

Who says you need to make an "entire devlog"

Just make a thread and link whatever it is you want people to test

[sly lake]

Is this how collaborations between large corporations usually happen? /s

[surreal nexus]

fair but I forgot to put in the message that it's less about the devlog and more about putting something so completely empty in public unity play or itch. I just want people to actually enjoy what they decide to download or play.

[surreal nexus]

Probably. That or they just pass each other on the street like "Hey wanna make a game?" (The CEOs of said corporations)

[worldly cave]

So you dont actually want people to test your game out? Or what im confused

[surreal nexus]

I do just not in its current state is all, Like I said it's barely more than a plane with a player and some scripts. I don't have any sort of map or objective built. If anything, it's more like a testing ground than a game.

[sullen scarab]

What kinda game are you making?

[surreal nexus]

Well I said it in my #🤝┃introductions but it's going to be a kind of horror FPS. I'm kinda thinking of combining Dead Space, Resident Evil with The Last of Us and seeing where I can go from there.

I dunno if my half-baked indie idea can get anywhere near close to doing those gems justice but I still want to try.

[sullen scarab]

Depends a bit on if you got a team or not. If you're solo, might be too ambitious, but don't let me shoot it down if you really wanna do it though

[surreal nexus]

Oh no it's all me and copilot to help me flesh out scripts and that's it.

[sullen scarab]

Ah ok, well I hope things turn out well!

[surreal nexus]

Thank you, you too with any projects you've got going!

[brisk anvil]

make lots of small games using tutorials and stay dedicated, there is nothing like experience imo

[cloud horizon]

Yeah of course but is it a great starting point?

Just to get familiar with the basics

[brisk anvil]

I've been programming in Unity for 8 years now and never even once I took a course,
My biggest tip is to make systems and keep reusing and improving them (or remaking them) and just grow and grow until you have a game that you feel like pushing online

[brisk anvil]

Ive never heard of "Create with code" course, but if you mean learn.unity.com then yea they have some really good stuff

[cloud horizon]

Yeah it's one of the starter Unity Learn courses

[brisk anvil]

learn unity in general is a massive place so if you find a good starting point there you should be covered

follow unity's youtube channel, most if not all of their tutorials from 2018 are still relavant today and they have the best narrator / guy talking in the tutorial in my opinion,

Another good starters are dapper dino if you do beginner multiplayer and the king brackeys with haundreds of basic videos for impressive stuff beginners can make

[brisk anvil]

yea

[cloud horizon]

Alright

[lament orchid]

I have a question in the robot tutorial when I am at the stage where we can publish on the web, the loading normally lasts 10 minutes but here the longest lasts 6 hours and it still doesn’t work even by uninstalling the version of unity and reinstalling can someone help me

[brisk anvil]

not sure which tutorial, do you know what loading screen you are getting?
Is it the part where you build the project,
or are you uploading files somewhere?

[lament orchid]

This is the first tutorial where a robot must pick up stars by jumping on cubes and heres the loading screen

it’s the part where we publish on the web

uploading files i think

[pearl oyster]

What tutorial? There are thousands of Unity tutorials, you have to be more specific. Post a link to it

[lament orchid]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/get-started-with-unity-in-editor-tutorial

[void patrol]

yo how do i make player movement in 2d? i can just do transform.position += direction * spd * time.deltatime i am aware; but when moving straight towards a wall, it kinda tries going inside walls and gets pushed back out (collisions). using rb.linearvelocity and setting it directly is causing jittery movement (even after disabling collisions of any sort)

i just discovered a method called rigidbody2d.moveposition(), would this solve the collision problem ?

[storm patio]

probably not, this is more intended for kinematics iirc

[storm patio]

to use physics on a dynamic rb, setting velocity is one of the correct methods. make sure you aren't moving via the transform still

[void patrol]

its causing jittery movement though

should i send a recording?

[storm patio]

it's likely something else

let's continue in #💻┃code-beginner

sure, send the recording, and send the code as well

[lament orchid]

its the tutorial but I don’t think it’s necessarily because of this tutorial in particular I’m not testing but I think it must be done every time I try to publish a game on unity play

[radiant pewter]

Any idea how to fix fonts constantly updating themselves with millions of characters of typeless data?

I can't set the font to static either because then a few of the characters become missing

This happens both with custom fonts and with the default TMP LiberationSans font, across multiple projects

[latent meadow]

try it on a lower version, like 6.0. also, always good to virus scan

also, do you have experience with this stuff, or is this your first attempt?

[radiant pewter]

some experience

also I am on 6.0

it's already broken the Unity editor once on one of the projects

[latent meadow]

i am trying to figure out why TMP, or anything, has anything to do with what is happening in vs code, or am i just seeing the screen wrong?

[radiant pewter]

its VS Community but its not that anything is happening in there - this is just showing what the font is

so this is actually happening in Unity, I'm just viewing the YAML meta file for the font in VS

[latent meadow]

ok, and are you set for SDF or Bitmap in Unity, for fonts?

[radiant pewter]

SDF

[latent meadow]

i have no ideas then.

[radiant pewter]

this also just happens out of the box, since we didn't mess with the font at all on one of our projects

the only thing I've come up with so far is deleting the font and then adding it again, but thats tedious because the references get messed up

[latent meadow]

i mean, there is always the 'delete the library and let it rebuild', but 🤷‍♂️ . if no one has ideas, sounds like a candidate for a bug report

[radiant pewter]

I know there have definitely been posts on it already so I assumed maybe there was a known fix

struggling to find them on google rn tho because I guess unity forums have terrible SEO

https://discussions.unity.com/t/text-mesh-pro-font-asset-keeps-auto-changing/682057/35

I just can't fathom how this issue got through to a live, LTS version of Unity

[radiant pewter]

found this in case anyone else suffers from the same problem - seems to fix it out-of-the-box automatically but I can't vouch for whether it is safe etc. https://github.com/STARasGAMES/tmpro-dynamic-data-cleaner

[odd epoch]

What should I be checking if changes in Unity project's Project Settings keep getting reset or cleared out? Specifically, some VR settings need to be set again every time Unity is restarted.

I found some results mentioning onedrive and dropxbox automatic syncing, as well as Unity Collab.

Is it possible that removing some temporary folders and reimporting / rebuilding them could help?

[woeful spear]

is it just me or has unity been getting extremely increasingly more buggy this past day or so? i havent switched versions or anything, ive been using the same version since months ago, but now its pulling stuff like this

and it just crashed

[sly lake]

I don't think they've been adding more bugs to your existing install, no 😄

But the engine does have a lot of bugs

[sacred moon]

Unity or godot or unreal

[slow dirge]

One of them. Or any other engine.

[inland river]

pick one:

• Most charitable: you are asking a genuine question but extremely lazy, and want others to do the work of narrowing the question.
• More skeptical: you want attention and a fast-moving debate, not useful advice.
• Most negative: you are deliberately trying to spark a repetitive argument and derail chat.

[idle thistle]

I was working with Unity on Windows 11 before, but now I exported my Project Folder to a USB Drive and Imported it on this Linux Mint Computer.
I hope that copying a project under windows and continuing on it under linux will not cause any future problems because I did not noticed any yet and it would be a lot of pain if all the progress would be dumped because of that.

[viscid raft]

As a member of the Unity Discord I'd like to suggest Unity

[violet thunder]

Library folder is safe to be deleted, unity rebuilds it when you reopen the project, and it can fix various issues.
Do you have some assets/scripts that could be modifying the VR settings?

[radiant pewter]

wait nvm I misread

[odd epoch]

@violet thunder The project used to work on a different computer, but this problem started appearing after the files were moved to a more powerful PC. I was also thinking some cached stuff could be causing an issue.

[violet thunder]

Id definitely rebuild the cache when switching machines

Its not something you should move around

[odd epoch]

Is deleting the Library folder enough?

[violet thunder]

Librarh i mean

Enough for what? Its just a common thing to try for various issues

[odd epoch]

I know there are a few others, like obj, but I don't know enough to know which could cause the issue here

Some hold mostly build data or runtime data or something like that

[violet thunder]

Not my expertise, I know that obj is a 3D model format though

Do you see .obj somewhere that isnt a model?

[odd epoch]

It is that too, but in this case it's the obj folder in the project, same hierarchy level as Library

[sly lake]

Rarely helps these days, in my experience

[sly lake]

Yeah, that's compiler output

[odd epoch]

So most likely not relevant for Project Settings related issues.

[sly lake]

Library, Temp and obj can all be safely deleted

[violet thunder]

Good because it's such a bandaid thing to do anyway

[sly lake]

I'd just do all three tbh. It barely takes any time to rebuild

[odd epoch]

Thanks for you both!

[sly lake]

Only Library takes a long time

[violet thunder]

Wouldnt you suggest to do it when moving a project from a machine to another though? 🤔

[sly lake]

I would not copy the Library folder from one machine to another, no.

If it's the same platform it probably won't matter. If it's another platform it's probably full of garbage

[amber slate]

does anyone know any servers to find commissions for unity?

[wanton jungle]

so uhh my unity every time i go in play mode it says "reloading domain" and i kinda need to go in playmode any tips ? this is the only pic i have

[gray frigate]

It's normal to see that popup, but it's not normal for it to take more than a few seconds

[wanton jungle]

then how would i fix it ?

[gray frigate]

If you edit a script, does Unity also get stuck for a very long time?

(without entering play mode)

[wanton jungle]

yes

[gray frigate]

close the project (forcibly if needed), then delete the Library folder from the project

you should see folders named "Assets" and "Packages" next to it

(don't delete those, of course)

then reopen the project

[wanton jungle]

i did that and the temp, obj as well

[gray frigate]

ah, okay, so it's still misbehaving

[wanton jungle]

yes

[gray frigate]

when you open the project after doing that, does it successfully compile your scripts and load the editor?

I'd expect it to get stuck forever trying to open

[wanton jungle]

yes

i change to unity 6000.4.0f1 thinking it would fix it but it did not fix

[wanton jungle]

what do you think it could be @gray frigate ?

it's still loading 😭

[gray frigate]

did you take this screenshot before closing unity and deleting the library, then?

i'm confused how you even got to that point if you're freezing while trying to open the project

[violet thunder]

Does it ever stop loading? If yes, you can try profiling it

[wanton jungle]

yes and this is after

[wanton jungle]

it dose not

[gray frigate]

It's possible that you have a script that gets stuck in an infinite loop while Unity is setting things up after a recompile

[wanton jungle]

uhh i can check

[gray frigate]

this would have to be something you recently added or changed

[violet thunder]

I wonder if an IDE debugger works during domain reload

Could use that to see what's going on

[wanton jungle]

so even when i delete a script it still loads and this is my script folder

[wanton jungle]

how do i do that

[wanton jungle]

do you think it could be any of them ?

[gray frigate]

it's hard to say anything without knowing what's in those scripts

I would suggest making a new blank project and making sure that works right

[vivid cedar]

Check version control for whatever recently changed or the uncommitted changes you have

those are the most likely culprits

[wanton jungle]

it just loads

[vivid cedar]

Dumb question have you tried restarting your pc?

[wanton jungle]

wait

let me try again

[wanton jungle]

still no

[vivid cedar]

Try re-cloning your project from version control at the last stable state

and see if that loads

if it doesn't, go back to an earlier commit, and so on

[wanton jungle]

so you want me to close the project and then close version contro

[vivid cedar]

I actually want you to redownload the project in a different folder from version control and check out an earlier commit/version and see if it loads

[wanton jungle]

oh

[wanton jungle]

ok i so fixed it but there is a new thing ?

when i press anything in my hirecey

[vivid cedar]

It looks like you are using a good deal of plugins and third party tools

Those may cause issues like this sometimes

[wanton jungle]

but this just happened now ?

[vivid cedar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wanton jungle]

lol

[plain dagger]

Not surprised too many things trying to change the hierarchy fucks it

[vagrant gazelle]

Hey everyone, the game I'm currently working on requires admin permissions for some reason.
I would like to avoid this.

Is there any way to determine what is causing the admin permissions requirement?

[vivid cedar]

What are you trying to do when you see this requirement? How does it surface itself?

[vagrant gazelle]

The administrator rights popup opened up immediately when starting the game. I just closed the popup and ignored it.
For some reason it isn't shown anymore when I start the game now.

When I export another build it's probably going to show up again.

[vivid cedar]

So you mean in a build you made?

Is this for Windows?

[flat breach]

hello, do you guys know where I can find mirror game examples apart from the ones in the documentation? It seems like there lacks of tutorials.

[gray frigate]

mirror game?

are you talking about the multiplayer SDK?

[flat breach]

exactly

[lapis gate]

should ask their discord

there was an SCP game that uses mirror and I think that's open source?

nah, the one that uses it was released on steam

[flat breach]

fr? where?

[flat breach]

already did, got no answer

[vagrant gazelle]

yes and yes

[vagrant gazelle]

maybe it was because I made development builds. I just made a new release build and I didn't get the admin priviledges popup 🤷‍♂️

We much rather get the whole problem at once rather than waiting for bits and pieces

[reef surge]

yeah im sorry gime 1 minute

this is the probleme

my cam is glitchy

[worldly cave]

this?

what are we looking at youre still not clarifying anything

[near wigeon]

"glitchy" how?

[worldly cave]

those effects look entirely intentional

[copper merlin]

Running into an issue getting my host/client setup to connect. Host is being run in editor on my PC, and client is connecting from my Android phone. I believe I have ruled out any networking issues as I have put in a UDP listener and a way to send a UDP packet and i get responses in my logs. But when I try host and client, the client never connects. I have networkmanager object with network manager on it and Unity Transport. Setup unity transport to hit my PC ip address w/port 7777. Made a new player prefab (just a cylinder with network object and network transform on it) and set that properly in my Default Player prefab. Also verified it shows up in my DefaultNetworkPrefabs list. Network Approval is unchecked on network manager. Turned windows firewall off just in case (UDP packet test was successfull). Both PC and phone are running on wifi

Only logs I get back after: Starting Host or Server on PC, waiting approx 10 seconds, trying to connect client:
Using Unity Transport
TargetIP: 192.168.0.123 (PC ip address)
target port: 7777
Starting Client...
*After approx 1 minute)
Disconnected from host

Any help is appreciated

[near wigeon]

#1390346492019212368

you most likely need to have the host be 0.0.0.0 tho

[reef surge]

not my player's cam this one

[worldly cave]

ahem

[reef surge]

thnx im sorry im kinda new to this

[gray dirge]

Still am unable to read your mind

[worldly cave]

apparently i can

[near wigeon]

what are you expecting instead of what we see ?

[worldly cave]

its 100% the missing walls im calling it rn

[gray dirge]

where's the problem in that though

[worldly cave]

well if the building cant be seen from outside

then there is no issue lol

[copper merlin]

I will post in there for sure, thanks! Quick question for your response. Have Unity Transport component say 0.0.0.0 for the address but set the client's manually to the host IP?

[near wigeon]

yeah the client needs the hosts IP . I usually make an Inputbox so I don't have to always do it via inspector someitmes it messes up , I pass that to the Transport component through code

I think now unity put a tickbox in the inspector that does the same as 0.0.0.0

[copper merlin]

is that what that Allow Remote Connections? means? When I hover over it says 'Binds IP 0.0.0.0'

[near wigeon]

yeh basically that, i just never done it that way and use code as mentioned cause changing IP each build gets tiresome

[copper merlin]

thanks, I will give that a try.

[surreal nexus]

where do you think I should post my hand-drawn textures to see if they work for the vibe I'm going for?

because if you are looking for feedback, #1180170818983051344 is the only place really

you can get feedback in #🏆┃daily-win too

[real zodiac]

Hi guys

Im kinda new

[copper merlin]

Thanks nav. Looks like I still need that checkbox either way. when I have that off my phone never connects. when I have it checked it shows connected 1 in my logs now. Now to change this back over to my acutal player prefab (thought that was causing an issue originally). Thanks again man!

[real zodiac]

Oh I heard that I can create games by using unity game engine
Im interested in making games can I make by learning unity only? No other language needed?

[worldly cave]

unity is not a language

its the engine

[copper merlin]

Unity anc C# and you should be good

[worldly cave]

you will need to learn c# if you want to make games in unity

[modest meteor]

do some beginner c# tutorials first because you need that too. check pinned messages for resources

[near wigeon]

ohh with tickbox is working now ? 🙌

[real zodiac]

Im a beginner so basically all I need to learn is c sharp and could use unity?

[near wigeon]

start with C# yes.
Unity is just an API in C#
the concepts n unity specific things are on the manual

[copper merlin]

yes, I think that is all I was missing. I will still add in a field like you said and show the IP of host in top right of their screen so any clients can connect. But once I hit that checkbox everything started talking and working together.

[real zodiac]

Wdym by that bro..

[near wigeon]

If you learn C# you can pretty much read/use any API that including UnityEngine

[modest meteor]

learn c# and then go to learn.unity.com to learn unity, yes

[near wigeon]

#💻┃code-beginner has pins on proper C# courses

[real zodiac]

What's api

Im actually new

[near wigeon]

basically a way for code to interact with apps

[real zodiac]

In unity what do I do ? Write code about everything???

In c#?

[near wigeon]

you are writing everything in c# yes

[real zodiac]

Oh

[near wigeon]

Unity specific concepts include GameObjects, MonoBehaviour/Components , Life cycle events etc.

[real zodiac]

So even if I wanna create a animation of character moving i gotta write whole thing???

[worldly cave]

no

[near wigeon]

no?

[storm patio]

you gotta write the parts that need code

you don't use code to make the animation

[worldly cave]

you could technically do that too

[real zodiac]

Oh

[worldly cave]

but its not expected of you

[modest meteor]

no you dont do literally EVERYTHING in c#

[real zodiac]

Oh

[worldly cave]

you use c# for any game logic you want to define

[near wigeon]

Unity is very userfriendly but the systems must be written in c# (there is visual scripting but thats another topic)
think a score counter, or any interactions

[worldly cave]

other stuff has its own set of tools

[real zodiac]

Oh

Btw guys in how much time period could I learn c# and unity and can start making games?

[near wigeon]

thats up to you

we don't have estimates for you

[real zodiac]

Currently I'm planning to learn python basics as it is beginner friendly and could get me some logic

[near wigeon]

how much time you will dedicate, how quickly you learn etc.

[real zodiac]

And later I will move to c# as u guys said

[real zodiac]

I will dedicate every single day starting from todsy

[near wigeon]

imo stick to c# from the getgo .

[real zodiac]

Can a person learn multiple game engine or languages?

[near wigeon]

if you plan on using unity anyway

[worldly cave]

of course

[real zodiac]

Oh

[near wigeon]

yes but its not very feasible to do at same time tbh

[real zodiac]

Oh

[balmy kettle]

no, that's too much for one person's brain. they'll be arrested if they even think about trying

[worldly cave]

people who work as professionals in the industry are expected to know multiple engines and languages

[real zodiac]

Lol

[real zodiac]

Ikr

[near wigeon]

yea but knowing and learning at same time is very different

[worldly cave]

yeah not something for a beginner lol

stick to one language and one engine for now

[real zodiac]

I wanna become a game creator guys like can u guys will to help me know what I should do and what I should learn to become my goal
I want to know my roadways ahead that's all guys it would be very helpful and I would be very grateful

when working on your game, you will spend a majority of your time coding

[real zodiac]

I'll become one too

[worldly cave]

thats just kinda the nature of game development

Yeah

[near wigeon]

I started with thinking code is "too hard" and only used drag n drop features in GameMaker.
the possibilities are endless , if I can do it anyone can tbh

[real zodiac]

Guys I have a doubt are u guys going.to.college and coding or trying to look for employment through coding or wanna make their own projects ???

[worldly cave]

im going to college as a compsci, but im not looking for employment in the industry

especially not the game industry, its simply not happening

not any time soon
