[near wigeon]

You can and can help, but its not necessary

plenty of graduates who have no work because they basically coded very basic stuff at most for their requirement in school but aren't interesting beyond the basics

[real zodiac]

Oh

Where are u from?

Im from India

[near wigeon]

if you're getting into this for money, forget it for now

[real zodiac]

Why?

[real zodiac]

Is it nearly impossible?

[worldly cave]

its impossible

[near wigeon]

oversaturated market, especially for juniors it aint happening rn

[real zodiac]

oo

[worldly cave]

if you want to develop games, you should do it as a hobby, making a career out of it is simply improbable

[real zodiac]

Oh

[worldly cave]

even as an indie dev

[near wigeon]

if you want to make money in the industry stick to more traditional coding jobs but even those are scarse

but as they say, its who you know and not what you know so you never know..

[worldly cave]

you kinda picked a low point lol

but coding is great and you should still learn it

[near wigeon]

.NET finally getting a bit more popular in the industry above JS/TS

[modest meteor]

it's possible to get rich as a solo indie dev tho 😘
(only if you're super creative and good at it though)

[real zodiac]

Then wth are these software jobs in india

[worldly cave]

70% of all games released on steam last year didnt make back their 100$ deposit... its never been more bleak even for indie devs

[near wigeon]

we don't know if we don't live there lol
you need to be diligent and do your research, most job postings are SCAM be mindful

[real zodiac]

Oh

Im just 14 yrs k
Old yk

[modest meteor]

yeah that's why i said you gotta be super creative, those are all uninteresting games
you need to make something truly unique and it has to be good too

[near wigeon]

good starting early is a good way to get in if you stay persistant

[real zodiac]

Oh

[real zodiac]

Whats ur age bro? You seem so literate in coding subject

[near wigeon]

I'm old..haha naw..I have everyday impostor syndrome

don't be discouraged, do what you enjoy eventually you will find your spot

[real zodiac]

Oh

I'll call u guys seniors

[stuck flower]

It's possible to get rich by getting hit by a car driven by a billionaire but that doesn't mean you should just lay face-down in the parking lot

[worldly cave]

i turned that same mentality into "fake it till you make it"

[stuck flower]

Being successful in game development is a lottery. But you do need to make something worth playing in the first place to even get a ticket

[worldly cave]

life is too short for stuff like that 😔

[worldly cave]

you could also just work on hunt down the freeman and get a job at activision

[subtle plinth]

hey man,we will develop a game,we need a programmer group,if this goes viral on steam,we will pay you from the income,if you are interested,dm me

[stuck flower]

success is not guaranteed even if you make something good. Make things because you want to make them.

[real zodiac]

So basically doing smth is better than planning and overthinking about smth

[stuck flower]

Just like make game. Don't worry about whether it'll be successful or how you're gonna market it or whatever just make the game.

[balmy thistle]

procrastinating, yes

[subtle plinth]

hi,watcha doin?

[real zodiac]

Yeah

[balmy kettle]

i love the juxtaposition of the conversation about how getting rich or making a popular game is nearly impossible with the random person coming in offering to pay for help with their game but only if it goes viral

[stuck flower]

And if it does get successful, remember that it doesn't mean you're some hotshot who can do no wrong, luck is a factor and you should always respect that. Otherwise you end up with a situation like the Choo Choo Charles developer whose second game died in less than a week because they thought they had the formula

[near wigeon]

if you have very good games in your portfolio it can only improve chances to get hired for a small studio or something

so you may not get rich from them but can lead to better opportunities for you

[subtle plinth]

i think i have a game idea,dm me if interested

[near wigeon]

everyone has ideas..
being able to execute an idea succesfully is a whole other ballgame

[subtle plinth]

[real zodiac]

I subbed to ur channel senior

[subtle plinth]

whatever im leavin to find a better place

[near wigeon]

Oh thanks! reminds me its been years ima start doing some new stuff.. maybe NGO

[real zodiac]

Bro tbh at age 12-13 i had an idea of creating a gaming channel and earn money asap

I was consistent and all

And I have currently over 2k+ subscribers

Hey?

But asian family problems arrived

They felt I was doing some random things which are useless for my life

And i quitted.

[near wigeon]

yes family often do especially old-school ones. Just keep it pushing you can do it
my family still thinks I fix routers or someshit like printers xD

[wraith pasture]

hope he finds that place

[real zodiac]

XD

My willingness of getting money is like a dog chasing bones

Idk if I'm crazy or not

But my instincts say me to get my parents retire before they intend to retire

Ik it's a big difficult for me and u guys can find it cringe a bit

[stuck flower]

You have been told where to post this

[real zodiac]

Why ur profile too bright

My eyes popped out

[stuck flower]

You'll be hard pressed to find people willing to work for free on someone else's project while they do nothing themselves. You should consider actually learning a skill

[real zodiac]

K seniors bye i gotta sleep

[subtle plinth]

i am alazy potato who just has ideas

[stuck flower]

Then you won't be making a game until you fix that

[worldly cave]

what makes you think people wont take your ideas

what makes you think your ideas are special

[stuck flower]

Ideas are free. Actions are expensive. You want to make a game? Take actions or pay people who can.

Having experience in multiple engines is really helpful. It shows you different ways to think about the same problem.

I'm a Unity developer, but I've also played with Unreal, Godot, gDevelop, ...

note that it gets easier to try out new game engines as you get more experienced

bit of a chicken-and-egg problem at first 😉

[surreal nexus]

I tried Unreal but it seemed too professional for my lack of knowledge when I was doing it so now I'm mainly Unity when I do anything like games or projects.

[hushed hamlet]

Yes, I use ~6 engines and many languages every month. It just depends on the project we have. A lot of webgl (A-frame), unreal, Godot and unity. But it can hurt your stability

[near wigeon]

"too busy"

[surreal nexus]

that works too

[near wigeon]

the tools are good but they are like all over the place and all the windows get cluttered quick.
Unity has that clean / minimal approachable UI

CPP aside, coding in Unreal is atrocious..

[craggy pollen]

be honest you love unreal engine

[worldly cave]

glory to tim sweeney

[near wigeon]

funny. but yea some of the tooling are leaps ahead of unity but ux is just awful

[worldly cave]

yeah i was going to say

some of the built in stuff is really good

nanite

built in motion matching systems

[craggy pollen]

the visual scripting for example

[near wigeon]

built In IK that you can actually animate in non-runtime is the biggest win imo

[near wigeon]

funny enough the unity china version has something like this they built in

[worldly cave]

yeah they have lumen too

[surreal nexus]

welp I at least got a devlog in. Dunno what I'm gonna do with it yet but I came up with the name on the spot so hope it's not bad.

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity.cn/cn/tuanjiemanual/Manual/RigGraph_CustomGraph.html
rig graph. almost like the unreal thing I was mentioning

but no.. ours are too busy putting AI and chaning shit we don't need changed

[eager sphinx]

But we do need AI tho.. Just saying 🤷🏾‍♂️

[rose flicker]

Guys I don't know where I should post this, but im looking for feedback on this next topic:

Does the hitbox push fit the speed of the prototype?What I mean by this is that if the final push is strong enough

[near wigeon]

more of a game design question

[rose flicker]

Yes kind of like that

Does unity break at high speeds?

Roblox Studio broke at high speeds

[near wigeon]

the rigidbody could, depends

[hushed hamlet]

That's yeah just a decision on your side. I don't know the context. So I can't really advise... But it pushes them, and seems to be by design, so you should be good

[rose flicker]

Ok thanks guys for the advice

[rose flicker]

But at high high speeds?Like really high speeds?

[hushed hamlet]

The reason I say that, is an explosion is very diff from say just pushing someone

[rose flicker]

What explosion...?

[near wigeon]

yes really high speed
depends though, make sure you at very least move a rigidbody with its proper methods and maybe have continuous collision checked off

[modest meteor]

kinematic character controller still works at near infinite speeds according to its creator so its definitely possible

[rose flicker]

I know explosions are different

[hushed hamlet]

That's what I mean though. I don't know what your intention is.

[rose flicker]

Then that's good enough to hear

[rose flicker]

Yeah makes sense

[modest meteor]

however if you're just using a default non-kinematic rigidbody and sending it flying at a near infinite speed then that will probably go through walls

[rose flicker]

I mean it won't be infinite so I should be fine

that

is all

thanks

[solemn quest]

hi guys I've published my game on the play store and I've opened a ticket to verify mi iron source account since the app needs to be online to activate the account, now it's been over a week and i had no response what can i do?

[near wigeon]

wait longer?

[solemn quest]

yeah thanks for that 🤣

[pearl oyster]

I don't know what kind of answer you were expecting

[worldly cave]

to receive play store support in this discord server that has nothing to do with it

duh

[solemn quest]

just your experiences if it's normal or how long does it take to usually respond

[worldly cave]

honestly the only 2 options you really have is contacting them

or waiting

thats about it.

[solemn quest]

and it's no playstore support

[normal tide]

hi - im opening up the playtesting for the early beta of streets of miami if any1 is interested in testing n stuff - just dm me 🙂 (meta quest / VR is required)

[stuck flower]

[stuck flower]

Yes google very helpful I'll just go thank you very much

[solemn quest]

i need to activate ironsource account what does it have to do with play console? just asking

[near wigeon]

then how can anyone on this server even help with that lol

[solemn quest]

cause you make the activation request sending a ticket to unity support giving the link of the game

[balmy kettle]

Hi o/ Question, when would you guys consider starting to get into multiplayer coding? I'm still not too confedent with everything c# related and wondered when you think a good time is. Anything I should look at/understand before diving in?

[surreal nexus]

if I knew anything about realistic character modelling I'd have it made. Both life and the 3d model.

[surreal nexus]

Honestly for most of my programming I use my Visual Studio's copilot. I tweak some of it myself but when I have no idea what I'm doing I give it a specific prompt and let it work.

[drowsy hull]

I just got to the part of the unity pathway that deals with getters and setters. I struggled with these massivley when I was trying to learn JS before

[plain dagger]

Its better to think of properties as a nicer way of writing a getter and setter function

[plain dagger]

Popular solutions such as unitys networking for gameobjects or mirror offer similar features, networked behaviours, fields/variables and methods.
Its important to understand how these get used and work to be able to make a multiplayer game properly.

[surreal nexus]

Mind giving an example of something like that? I'm trying to understand that kind of function.

[keen elbow]

hey all, I just finished an online unity course and figured now would be the best time to get into making my first from-scratch game. I wanted to make a simple chess-based roguelike.

What's the best way to make a grid system? like each chess piece takes up one spot, i can calculate where each piece can move, etc. Should I just make like a 2D array and then create a chess board based on that?

something like this from fire emblem, if you can't picture what I'm saying

[balmy kettle]

unity has it's own Grid component you can use. or a Tilemap (which also uses the Grid component)

[onyx raptor]

Hey guys, I've been trying to make my spaceship move forward... when you press w, but it's not working for me. Instead, the spaceship is moving sideways. I've already checked if the model was in the incorrect orientation, but it is correct.

Here is the code: using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerSpaceship : MonoBehaviour
{

Rigidbody spaceshipRB;

//inputs
float verticalMove;
float horizontalMove;
float mouseInputX;
float mouseInputY;
float rollInput;

//speed multipliers
[SerializeField]
float speedMult = 1;
[SerializeField]
float speedMultAngle = 0.5f;
[SerializeField]
float speedMultRoll = 0.05f;

// Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
void Start()
{
    Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    spaceshipRB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    verticalMove = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
    horizontalMove = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    rollInput = Input.GetAxis("Roll");

    mouseInputX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
    mouseInputY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    spaceshipRB.AddForce(spaceshipRB.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) * verticalMove * speedMult, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}

}

[surreal nexus]

even if the model is oriented right, a child or parent using the script might be wrong. Double check. If it's not that then I don't know I'm sorry.

[balmy kettle]

a few things to note:

1. spaceshipRB.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) is equivalent to just spaceshipRB.transform.forward
2. make sure your tool handle is set to Local rotation rather than Global rotation so you can be absolutely sure that the object is rotated correctly, and keep in mind that it is using the spaceshipRB object's rotation so if that is different than the object this component is on you need to consider that too

[keen elbow]

this is probably a dumb question but im still a beginner so i guess its okay lol

should the units be on the intersection between lines, or in the actual middle of the square? I'll be using a tileset for textures eventually

the left picture is the middle of the square, and the right picture is unity's default, at the intersection

it can probably be either one, im just wondering which is easier

[balmy kettle]

the first image is what it would look like when using a grid or tilemap, this is expected behavior. the second image is where the actual position is located on a unit boundary

[onyx raptor]

i have a parent empty object that the script is in

[surreal nexus]

If I'm right, I've had that problem. If one of them is oriented incorrectly, you might have to ungroup the pieces, orient them all separately, then group them back together. I'd ask someone else to make sure there isn't a better way to do that.

[onyx raptor]

Could I go into blender and fix the orientation there?

[dusty tendon]

i might be the only one here who prolly got 0 knowledge about coding in unity

[surreal nexus]

Maybe, but I'm not the one to ask about that tbh. I really try but I know next to nothing about blender except what I've done in it myself, which isn't much.

[urban thicket]

I'm getting back into Unity, is there any good tutorials just to make a project?

[surreal nexus]

<@&502884371011731486> if possible can someone please delete my devlog? I want to make a new one cause I messed up and deleted something in my old one and had to get rid of the whole thing.

Aaand I've remade my devlog. Gotta put all the stuff back up but there wasn't a whole lot to begin with so it's fine.

[surreal nexus]

what inventory system should I go for? There's the grid slot inventory (which I could also go the Resident Evil and other games route and make it where you have to find a way to increase your slots), list inventory like in Kingdom Hearts or something, and The Last of Us that doesn't really have an "inventory", but a set limit of crafting components/craftable items.

[uncut parcel]

go for slots, I like them best

a list would probably be good for a Skyrim like fantasy game

@lethal dirge If you are looking for collab and can't figure out how a forum works, with all the instrustions written in-front of you. I don't think you are ready for collaboration.

[lethal dirge]

Okay ill look at the unity learn thing but im sorry but i dont know where to look its confusing to me i dont know if its because im slow or something but im trying to learn so i apoligize

[fair cove]

Unity Learn will teach you how to use the engine, and scripting language (C#) to code logic with Unitys API, you can also look at their documentation and manual about certain engine and API features - if your stuck with trying to do some very specific thing, you can try looking up tutorials or forming a clear question on exactly what your stuck on, what you tried, what happened when you tried and what youd like to have happen instead (along with any relevant code snippts and screenshots/videos, you can use code-paste sites if its more than a few lines), then others could guide you toward resources or provide some details that might help (but no one will write the code for you) - if you ARE looking for someone to write the code for you, then youd be looking to collaborate or hire someone, which is not done on this discord (there is a forum for that instead)

[lethal dirge]

No no i dont want anyone to write the code for me i just wanted to learn more about coding because i did a bunch of cources and turtorials already but im just struggling to do something correctly like i make a code but it always has erorrs so i ask ai and still dont work so i look up turtorilas and it dont work either so thank you guys for giving me this thing to learn from i didnt know it was here i may have been looking at the wrong places i have boon looking on youtube, tiktok, google, ai, and i couldnt figure it out like actually learn from it so thanks i will take advantage of this help and learn and experience it thanks for the help

Im just new and needed help for figuring out how to be better if that makes sense

Oh and a problem i have is after knowing how to do something specific i dont know how to implement it into something else

[slow dirge]

First identify where your gaps in the knowledge are. The community can help you with that, but you need to provide more details. For example share code that you wrote that produces errors and explain what you do and don't understand about it. Then we might be able to point you towards the right learning resources.

[lethal dirge]

Okay do i do that in this chat or a different one?

[slow dirge]

If you're gonna share code, then in one of the coding channels. #💻┃code-beginner

[lethal dirge]

Okay thanks for letting me know

Im sorry for asking again but does anyone have a detailed explanation on where to look on therer i look at their cources and ive been on it since you guys showed me and im kinda confused?

i see a lof of 2d cources but i see no 3d ones i am more of a 3d one but does that matter if it doesnt than should i look at the 2d ones for now till i get better?

[storm patio]

there definitely are 3d courses, maybe you aren't using the right search terms

[wraith pasture]

excuse me? its just invisible.
If i duplicate this the dupe shows but the original still doesn't

Reopened scene and still not showing

[copper gust]

kinda looks like it's behind that wall?

[wraith pasture]

argh just noticed this is different

nono

didn't even know that was a thing lol

must have clicked on accident

[lost garnet]

Is there something similar to FindObjectByType that works in the project windows instead of heirarchy

[storm patio]

why not just use a serialized reference (in both cases tbh)

[quartz osprey]

Do you mean In Editor only? Then

using UnityEditor;

string[] guids = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:MyScriptableObject");

foreach (string guid in guids)
{
    string path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid);
    MyScriptableObject asset = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<MyScriptableObject>(path);

    Debug.Log(asset.name);
}

On runtime, you could use Resources.Load

And yes, depending on the use-case, a Serialized Reference might just be your best solution

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I have a question. In object pooling pattern, why don't we use a struct instead of a class for the items in pool? I was just wondering whats the reason?

[lost garnet]

I want it in runtime .

[copper gust]

project windows don't exist in runtime

what problem are you trying to solve

[copper gust]

shortest answer would probably be that it doesn't matter that much

[boreal river]

So, you can use a struct as well?

[copper gust]

i mean maybe

[lost garnet]

I just prefer not to use strings. (paths)

[copper gust]

what problem are you trying to solve

that is some solution you have issues with, not the problem

[boreal river]

I asked AI the answer was:
structs are copied when used, so object pooling would give you a copy instead of the original object to reuse

[copper gust]

i dont give a fuck what ai said

if you care then no reason to ask here

[boreal river]

No, I am just saying

I just want to get more info

[copper gust]

that doesn't give you more info

[boreal river]

maybe there is something AI didn't provide

[crystal tendon]

is my coding good ? (im new)

[lost garnet]

I was watching code monkey's video on GameAssets where he also uses Resources.Load.
I was just curious to see if we can do this without strings. since a lot of updates have been done in since then.

[storm patio]

this is like, a semi-professional space, yknow

[storm patio]

configure your ide

!vscode

[vagrant root]

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[crystal tendon]

wait what?

[storm patio]

configure your ide

it'll help a lot as you go

[boreal river]

So, based on AI it's possible to use both Struct & Class in this case because the class returns the original object and the struct actually just returns the copy so its the same thing at the end of the day

[copper gust]

ok there we go, two main options

you can use the generic version of Resources via Resources.LoadAll<>

or you could make a ScriptableObject that holds a list of your prefabs that you manually populate, and you would just reference the collection through that scriptableobject instance/asset

[crystal tendon]

what does it do ?

[storm patio]

it makes your ide help you

[crystal tendon]

im trash noob what is an ide ???

[lost garnet]

Thanks bro.

[storm patio]

not in like, an AI writing code for you kind of way
but in a "you did this specific part wrong btw" kind of way

[copper gust]

I'm not interested in spending time correcting ai answers for you. I am of the belief AI lied to you and/or answered a different question then what you asked. do what you will with this response

[storm patio]

it's the app you write code in

[crystal tendon]

ohhh

[boreal river]

So, could you please explain ?

What the difference?

[boreal river]

Bro if the answer is different from what AI told me then I have to know.

[lost garnet]

Also there is this thing. Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<T>()
IDK what is this for?

[storm patio]

i wanna learn but the i dont understand the website

like theres a lot of thing and idk what to do

[latent meadow]

start with the Essentials Pathway. if you feel you know that, move to Junior Programmer Pathway

The point of object pooling is to reduce the need to allocate objects that are otherwise created very often. A very big strain on performance usually comes from object allocation (and the GC calls that come after), so an object pool solves that for the most part by allowing you to simply reuse pre-allocated objects.

A struct makes no sense here because they don't work by reference and are not allocated on the heap. They cost nothing to make and an object pool serves absolutely no purpose

[viscid raft]

So basically what you said here, but with the important detail that the whole point is reduction of allocation

[drifting jacinth]

Mann :P

[real zodiac]

Hello guys

[boreal river]

I know what Object Pooling is, I understand the idea and logic of Object Pooling, I just didn't know if you can use a struct as well instead of a class.

I have another question.

I have seen many tutorials about object pooling and I was wondering why they are using a class defined inside another class like you see in the example. Basically, my question is what's the benefit of using a nested class and why do we do this?

[stuck flower]

So, you know that Object Pooling is a way to store a reference to something so you don't need to create it again, right?

[copper gust]

convenience + contextual access (you can only access PoolItems from ObjectPooling

[viscid raft]

Like I said, it makes no sense. The point is reducing allocation, structs don't need allocation

But sure, you could do it. Probably not using anything build into Unity, but you can make your own. It's pretty much just a collection you reuse, but in the case of a struct I would assume you just want to prepare them for use?

[copper gust]

i think this is just a lack of understanding struct thing

[viscid raft]

Probably, because I can't think of a reason other than that some object poolers allow for preparing the context

[gray frigate]

in this case, the type is nested solely so to reduce clutter

PoolItems isn't really relevant outside of ObjectPooling

so making it nested means you don't have PoolItems polluting your namespace

note that nesting a type has other consequences beyond just changing its name

notably, nested types can access private members of the enclosing type

I have several classes that all send out "requests" for input from subscribers

so I have BlendshapeController.Request and EmotionController.Request

this makes it clear that these types are very tightly related to their enclosing type

[boreal river]

Here my question is why do we use a nested class in general doesn't matter if its object pooling or not

[copper gust]

sick

the person above your message just answered it in detail

if you can't read it don't ask questions

I don't understand anything, I have empty errors in unity, and the logs always have different errors, but all of them are related to movedfromEctractor, and I don't know what to do

I don't have anaconda/conda, the paths in the registry are clean, I've tried removing the library, giving permissions to unity, adding it to the exceptions in the antivirus, unchecking the "read only" option, restarting the computer, reinstalling unity, and I don't know what to do about it.

[gray frigate]

when does this happen?

[warm sail]

Hi! Every tree and grass I put on my terrain dissapears whenever I zoom out. It's fine if I do it manually but whenever I use the paint trees and paint grass feature it does this. How do I fix this?

[gray frigate]

when building the game? when opening the editor?

[gray frigate]

(this is a reply to Tristeza btw)

[gray frigate]

this is expected – it's not practical to render every grass/tree object at long ranges.

You should be able to adjust how aggressive this effect is in the terrain settings, though

[warm sail]

thank you so much 😭

[shadow summit]

an empty error occurs when I start the project, but if I ignore it, there is no error in the game editor itself, and the play mode works. However, when I build the project, it crashes. After 120+ attempts to build, it was only able to build once, and it never built again. Additionally, there is a 50/50 chance of an infinite loop occurring during the compiling scripting: running backend process, regardless of whether I open the project, save the file, or build it.

[gray frigate]

I haven't observed this before. "MovedFrom" is an attribute that you can use to tell Unity that you changed the name/namespace/assembly of a type.

So I presume the "MovedFromExtractor" is responsible for finding all of those attributes

I don't have any good ideas of where to start

So my default advice would be to make a new project and see if you can build it correctly

[latent meadow]

look into 'imposters' to allow further distance with less performance hit. 'billboards', there are probably several ways

[latent meadow]

you are running a very 'beta' version of Unity. these things are not unexpected.

[shadow summit]

I have created a new project

Hi,Need help
I'm working in Unity 6000.3.9f1. - 2D project.
I've been tasked with using the sprite library asset - value .
I need to change character customization by overriding the base animation sprites.

The problem is that the game has a lot of animations, and each animation has up to 40 frames.
I have to manually drag each frame into the animation override slot. This is incredibly time-consuming and inconvenient. I tried asking AI if it's possible to write a script for the Editor that would automatically replace sprites.

It gave me several options, but they don't work. I'd like to ask people who work on this - is this even possible?

I want to replace all the sprites at once, I don't want to change them one by one, which requires too many clicks... or is the API closed, and all I can do is manually iterate through the sprites. I can't believe the developers didn't consider this inconvenience...

[latent meadow]

you may want to talk to #🖼️┃2d-tools or possibly #🏃┃animation

[balmy kettle]

or more likely ask in whatever help channels are available for that asset

[latent meadow]

oh, i assumed it was native. i do not work with 2d

[balmy kettle]

oop it apparently is part of the 2d animation package, that's my bad

but it looks like it should be fairly straight forward for modifying it
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.animation@15.0/api/UnityEngine.U2D.Animation.SpriteLibraryAsset.html
just make sure to mark it as dirty after doing so like you would when modifying any other SO/asset at edit time

[barren nacelle]

I need help, Does anyone know why the camera keeps shaking that way and how i can resolve it

[latent meadow]

that is odd. i'd suggest filing a bug report at this point. has googling revealed anyone else with the issue?

[shadow summit]

is default project

[shadow summit]

yes, I've already tried, and I've been surfing the forums, anyway, thanks for the idea of the old version.

[latent meadow]

are you on windows?

[shadow summit]

win 10 pro

[latent meadow]

i saw a suggestion to change the Locale in control panel

another suggestion is deleting %LOCALAPPDATA%\Unity\cache

and also Library/Bee in your project folder, before launcing again

of course, make sure you do not have your project in a OneDrive controlled folder.

are you using a third party antivirus, or just the windows defender?

[shadow summit]

yes, I tried to do it all, caches are everywhere and everywhere.

[latent meadow]

right, right. i am just copying over info i am reading

[shadow summit]

I think it's time to demolish Windows

[latent meadow]

come join us over on linux 🙂

one other suggestion was ensuring/reinstalling dot net sdk

[shadow summit]

I've been trying this too, I've been sitting with this for three days now, I've tried quite a lot.

[latent meadow]

yeah, you've already done more than i could find in my searches. so, just noise from me at this point. good luck to you, and perhaps try the bug report, but IDK how far that is going to get you

[shadow summit]

thanks

[random stirrup]

Someone thats good at messing with probuilder i can ask some questions ?

[safe garden]

is there a way to copy paste one object from a group into another? right now when I copy an object, select another group, it will paste outside that new group, not in it

[modest meteor]

go ahead and ask in #🛠️┃probuilder

[gray frigate]

right click the target object; there's a "Paste as Child" option

[safe garden]

ah ty

[surreal nexus]

If I posted my game in my devlog as just a concept with no clear objective yet, would anyone give me feedback on what to change with what's already there?

[stuck flower]

maybe, might as well try

[random stirrup]

Why cant i register

nothing happens when i click "login or sign up"

[surreal nexus]

Try the unity website maybe. Or uninstall and reinstall

[crude stump]

Hello, anyone have some guides for the text trigger, like documentation or tutorials please?

[near wigeon]

what do you mean "the text trigger" ?

[surreal nexus]

what the heck does this mean?

I made this project what's it trying to tell me?

[near wigeon]

lol some new bugs or what

[stuck flower]

Are you signed in? Unity Services is things like cloud save storage, matchmaking, etc., you might not even be using any of them

[crude stump]

add a trigger then upon colliding with it then make the text appear

[stuck flower]

Which part do you not know how to do, detect a trigger collision or make an object appear

[near wigeon]

there are so many tutorials that show how to make something happen when you enter triggers

all you need is SetActive method

[crude stump]

It's basically when you move to a specific area, the text will appear, thats all

I'm quite new to coding in general so yeah

[stuck flower]

So which part do you not know how to do

the trigger collision or the making an object appear

[surreal nexus]

Nevermind I closed it and reopened. I must have run the editor too long and it timed out or something. I think I forgot to close it after I saved last night.

[steel pulsar]

Hello guys!

[surreal nexus]

Hiya

[crude stump]

Sorry, I'm quite new I don't understand at all, all I need is just a tutorial about it haha, sorry.

[gray frigate]

importantly, "detect when you enter a trigger collider" and "turn on a text object" are two separate problems

[near wigeon]

if you actually done your research though ? cause its easy to find

[gray frigate]

so, one of these two things must be the thing you're having toruble with

[crude stump]

Yes, but not that much

Any suggestions please?

[latent meadow]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer/unit/basic-gameplay/tutorial/lesson-2-4-collision-decisions

[near wigeon]

instead of searching tutorials for specific thing, you break it down into more generalized parts

like the collision/trigger detection first, then "how to activate a gameobject" etc

[latent meadow]

someone said they wanted to try it but I couldn't find who. Sorry

[balmy kettle]

actually nobody said that, someone just pointed out that if you were to post it that you maybe would get feedback and that you should just try posting it to see (since you specifically asked if anyone would give you feedback if you posted a devlog)

[surreal nexus]

Okay I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, again sorry.

[worldly cave]

but why would you claim you couldnt find "who" said it when it was very obviously digi a few messages above...

[surreal nexus]

Okay, fine I'll just delete it. I scrolled and didn't see it, okay? I already apologized I literally don't know what else to do. I'm really not trying to be difficult I just didn't see the reply when I scrolled back up. Can we please drop it?

[abstract geyser]

I have a question.
I am making a game with a first person camera. I have a code that locks the curser in the centre of the game, and disables the mouse when I'm tabbed out the game.
In Unity when you aren't on the game window, the camera still moves because I'm still clicking on the editor window. Then when happens is, when I click back on the game my alignment is a bit weird.

My question is. When the game is compiled, this won't be an issue no more will it? This is just something that happens within the editor?

[latent meadow]

rather than people guessing, it is probably wise to simply spend a few minutes and make a test build

[random stirrup]

Why this ?

[near wigeon]

what are we looking at ? what are you trying to do?

[fluid shadow]

OKAY guys, I need a little help here
does anyone here know how to use the https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android ?
I want to make an app on my phone that uses an arduino board plugged into it, all I need is the basic "serial.read" function, can anyone here show me how to use it?

[solid marsh]

how did i remove the layer

[plain dagger]

Write some java or use unitys JNI API to interact with the library. You need to add it to your gradle manifest manually or use external dep manager to handle it.

[fringe lotus]

I have my area building on my main camera it's alright, but on the second camera its somewhere above the testroom. How do I sync them (cameras) ?

[fluid shadow]

so basically, I download the library, drag and drop it into unity to use it, open my .gradle file and add some lines to it to make it interact with the library and voila?

[plain dagger]

Mostly. Check the unity docs on JNI

[fluid shadow]

thanks, imma go do it right now

[storm patio]

you probably set it to a layer set to an empty name (or removed the name of the layer it was set to)

[solid marsh]

it was a new object though
its not a problem just a bit confusing

[violet thunder]

If you created the layer during Play mode then it disappears when you quit playing

[solid marsh]

oh makes sense

[near wigeon]

did you import this asset ?

[near wigeon]

assignment no ?
pretty sure you can still create them just fine during playmode

[harsh pine]

What ways are common for people to organize scripts under the player?

[near wigeon]

put it on the player - done

[violet thunder]

Nope, the layers don't persist

[worldly cave]

Apart from third party inspector assets or something, there isnt any really

[violet thunder]

I would kinda expect them to persist, like most other project-wide settings tho 🤔

[near wigeon]

I recall it does cause its like global.
I just tried it to double check and it does stay

Usually its blank when you import an asset that had a Layer assigned you don't have at that index
or OP deleted / moved the Layer to another index and left that one blank

[fringe lotus]

the problem here is that I wanna syncronize my cameras so that one ( my main camera) is the one im flying with and my test camera is the static one, but my test camera sees plane detections and object on those planes somewhere above the room , what could be the problem ?

[violet thunder]

I also tested and it does not stay 😅 I'm on 6000.3.3f1

Or maybe something in your project is setting the tags & layers asset dirty or something

[near wigeon]

Ohhh thats scuffed..I tried it on 6.0 could that be it ? weird

[harsh pine]

No I mean like do people put scripts under one organized folder as a child of the player, or are the scripts attached to each part; like a collision script on the collider, or just referencing it while the script is separate directly under the player

[near wigeon]

I also have Domain Reload turned off for playmode maybe that has something to do with it ? @violet thunder

[harsh pine]

For organization

[violet thunder]

Ah probably

I don't use that (I mean i have it turned on)

Test with domain reload on?

[worldly cave]

"one organized folder as a child of the player"

You did not make it clear if you are refering to the inspector or project folders

[near wigeon]

Ah yes its domain reload

it nukes it

interesting..

[harsh pine]

As in, an empty object under the player game object that contains the scripts in it

[violet thunder]

Probably they have some good techical reason of doing it

But it's a bit unintuitive

Since other global stuff usually persists

[worldly cave]

oh youre asking about the hierarchy organization...

[near wigeon]

holy shit I forgot how much I dislike Domain Reload.. 1 extra minutes just to enter play mode 😠

[worldly cave]

typically the basic split is a parent game object with all your logic, then a seperate child for the visuals

at least thats what i do

[near wigeon]

some scripts make sense to put on child but for the most part you don't want to be scouting in child to find something

[harsh pine]

Makes sense

[near wigeon]

I regret doing this 🙁

[random stirrup]

What am i doing wrong here ? im trying to make version control

[near wigeon]

the problem is you're using a really shit solution for version control and should switch to Git immediately

[random stirrup]

is git easy to use tho ?

[near wigeon]

its industry standard for a reason

[random stirrup]

Aight

[near wigeon]

UVC always has some problem and relying on unitys infastructure is a crapshoot. The integration in the editor is nice at first until its always some problem each update

[rapid fog]

Hi

[near wigeon]

https://nohello.net

[worldly cave]

takes like an hour to learn how to use the cli, the gui version even faster

[random stirrup]

Huh ? an hour to learn how to use github? 😮

[near wigeon]

Github is not Git, it just hosts Git repos

Git is a tool

download the .gitignore file
Put it in root of your project
create a new repo, upload the root . done

[violet thunder]

Your hierarchy looks like C++ code :|

[worldly cave]

just git

[novel venture]

Why doesn't Unity let me see all the sprites I have available in the folders? I installed the 2D package, but if I'm working with canvas and want to insert some sprites into an image, it won't let me see them.

[worldly cave]

even then the very basics takes like 10 minutes

an hour is mostly if you want to be exhaustive

github as a service is whatever tbh, no real "learning curve"

[near wigeon]

yea old project im trying to revamp, at the time I was working on some embedded hardware stuff (cpp) maybe it rubbed off lol

[worldly cave]

pretty sure you need to zoom in more

wait

[novel venture]

i think im at the wrong thread right?

[lapis gate]

No one truly understands git

[worldly cave]

#🖼️┃2d-tools would be better yes

[near wigeon]

it just works ™

[storm patio]

seems like you may need to expand that window. there should be an eye icon that lets you toggle showing assets from packages

[near wigeon]

those are in the Packages folder hidden by default I think

[near wigeon]

there should be an eyeball icon to unhide it.. ohh just saw chris point out the same thing

[novel venture]

ok let's see

thx

now works

[harsh pine]

Just like most fundamental parts of modern technology. OpenGL... Java in general...

[plain dagger]

One is forced to learn git when you have to work with sub modules and detached head

[storm patio]

detached head is not that hard to understand once you understand like, the concept of branches pointing to commits and stuff

git reset is pretty peak actually

[untold breach]

Why does the TIny5 font not support specifically 8 and 9?

[stuck flower]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

You'd probably need to ask whoever made it

[worldly cave]

also idk where you got the font from but it does

[violet thunder]

How are you rendering it?

[random stirrup]

Tried github

for some reason it didnt remember what was in the scene?

or do i have to load a scene or something?

[worldly cave]

Yes you have to load a scene

[storm patio]

you have not opened a scene

[worldly cave]

how is this a repeated issue lmao

[storm patio]

the info of what scene was opened last is in Library, a cache folder, which you should not commit to vcs (since separate people should be able to reopen their own last scene)

[random stirrup]

I used the sample scene but theres nothing in it

im so confused

[storm patio]

had you saved the scene and commited it to vcs?

and are you sure that's where the scene was

[random stirrup]

hmm no idea

i just took my files and put into a github folder and reloaded everything new

[violet thunder]

IIRC Importing some packages may overwrite SampleScene so it's not recommended to use that anyway
Oh the whole scene file is gone?

[random stirrup]

but all the project things is there just not how it looked when i had things in the scene

[worldly cave]

well because you dont have your scene loaded

[random stirrup]

How do i make a main scene then ? then i will just delete the sample one

[worldly cave]

you can just rename your scene

or duplicate it and rename it

if you dont want to recreate it

[random stirrup]

Like this ?

[worldly cave]

i mean yeah?

but thats not your old scene

you just made a new one

[random stirrup]

oh found the old scene

can i just rename the samplescene or should i duplicate it and rename it ?

[shadow summit]

I rolled back Windows to its factory settings, and everything worked perfectly

[faint moth]

One question, since I’m really fast out of touch: where there any new news about Unity and Fortnite together? Or is it already there?

[worldly cave]

https://unity.com/news/unity-and-epic-games-together-advance-open-interoperable-future-video-gaming

[faint moth]

Ok, so no new news

[surreal nexus]

Okay dumb question but how do I make the sun and camera the visible sprites in the editor like this? Cause I just can't remember what the button is or where it is.

[modest meteor]

those are visible by default, you must have changed it via this https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/GizmosMenu.html

[surreal nexus]

Thhey're all enabled, even the ones that the image doesn't show, and the secon image is me highlighting the player camera but it not showing up. I'm just really confused lol

[latent meadow]

ouch. that is always an annoying thing to have to do. glad you got it worked out

[exotic turret]

Guys why in my 2d platformsr game, the camera follows the player for just some time and then everything disappear except the player (a cube in this case)?

The cube is commanded by imput

[cunning rover]

Does unity still not support PriorityQueue from the System.Collections.Generic Namespace?

[balmy kettle]

no because that is a .net 6 feature which unity will not support until it finally finishes the migration to the core clr which is expected later this year with 6.8

[gray frigate]

make sure that if you're using 3D gizmos, the size isn't set to something really tiny

(see the top of the gizmo menu)

[surreal nexus]

Thank you I'll try it

[junior glacier]

Why is my asset so much shinnier in areas that are rough when I import it into unity?

[chrome scaffold]

guys how can i make objects snap on top of eachother. all the tutorials point to shioft cntrl but that just snaps a point of the object to the place not the bottom of the object

[worldly cave]

i see 2 possible reasons.
Different lighting setups
Different rendering engines

[slow dirge]

Is the roughness data in the alpha channel?

[junior glacier]

How do I do that

[worldly cave]

ah you need to export it with the unity workflow in mind

substance should have built in options for this

[slow dirge]

Put it in alpha channel..? Edit the texture in photoshop or gimp.

[worldly cave]

substance should already be able to do this....

[junior glacier]

im new to unity srry

[worldly cave]

in the export settings

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/substance-3d-painter/using/getting-started/export/export-window/output-templates

[slow dirge]

This doesn't really require any unity knowledge. You just need to know about packing data in different channels.

[plain dagger]

Substance painter has a unity preset...

[worldly cave]

they are called output templates and they handle channel packing automatically for you

[slow dirge]

You could hold V to drag and snap by vertices.

[junior glacier]

I selected unity metallic standard

does that sound right?

[chrome scaffold]

but i need to place colliders on all my objects. i have allready set my scene up my hand. do you think i SHOULD do the change or it doesn tm atter if everything looks decent?

[plain dagger]

Yes as you are using the legacy renderer

[junior glacier]

oh ok

ty guys so much

[plain dagger]

URP should be used instead ideally unless this is vr chat shit

[slow dirge]

I'm not sure what you're asking here or why colliders are a concern in this case?

[river meteor]

HA, lol

[surreal nexus]

okay real quick is it bad that I made my fps in URP if I'm going for realistic? Should I do HDRP for something like that?

[potent geyser]

Not necessarily. Switching to HDRP doesn't make it "realistic" by default.

Not to mention, Unity is not working on HDRP going forward. Everything will become unified in URP.

[surreal nexus]

Okay so if I manage to create HD textures and shaders and etc it should work for what I'm trying.

[potent geyser]

This is URP

And nobody knows what you're trying, so who's to say. But you can get pretty far, anyway.

[surreal nexus]

Nice. And thanks

[worldly cave]

realism isnt really the deciding factor, but there are some things hdrp can do that urp cannot natively

not for some time at least

[surreal nexus]

I mean my game will probably be a multi-year project (as many games are, especially indie games with even bigger ambitions than mine has). Can only do my best.

[worldly cave]

you would be surprised at how simple and easy it is to get something to look realistic

people often assume thats the hard part

[surreal nexus]

True. It's just hard for me to draw realistic textures by hand lol but I'm workin on it bit by bit

[worldly cave]

nobody would ever expect someone to draw realistic textures by hand though

like if you are aiming for realism forget about drawing any textures

you use what you can find online

anything from scans, to free pbr materials

whatever you can scour

<@&502884371011731486> scam of some kind? i think 🧐

thats definitely not a real link

[harsh pine]

I have a unity rig set up on my player armature (using the unity package) to make the right arm of my player follow a point. That point (child of the rig) doesn't allow me to move it around while the game is running (so as to make the arm follow it). Any idea why?

[shadow summit]

how to decide on the price of the game? I created minesweeper, but I don't know what price to set

[worldly cave]

you created minesweeper? a game that already exists?

[copper gust]

i imagine $0, unless it does a lot more than the free one windows comes with

[worldly cave]

unless it has some amazing catch, you should probably make it free

[shadow summit]

🥺

[worldly cave]

you also dont have to sell every project you create

[near wigeon]

free + ads.
or a few dollars and no ads

[worldly cave]

still, you can play minesweeper for free without ads

unless this is some minesweeper deck builder rougelite

[near wigeon]

maybe its for the phone or they have an interesting spin on it

[shadow summit]

I thought about making the price $7.99, but it's not a bagel, but it does have an editor.

[near wigeon]

$8 is pretty pricey.. games like these usually go around 1-2$ at most

[worldly cave]

in all honesty, you would be hard pressed to find anyone willing to spend 8 bucks on a minesweeper with a level editor

i looked up "minesweeper" on my phone, and im seeing about a dozen results for free versions of the game

[near wigeon]

you have to show the hierarchy and anything else relevant to the setup.

[hushed hamlet]

Don't sweat it, you can put a price on it if you want to. You should test out pricing and monetization strategies anyways.

You'll learn pretty quick what is priced where and why.

[shadow summit]

I think so, it's my first project, and I think it's worth that much. I'm not sure about everything, but I feel like it.

[hushed hamlet]

Do you also have an animation playing? How are you doing the pointing?

[near wigeon]

go for it, no one is stopping you from doing that.
just offering an opinion

[worldly cave]

its your choice at the end of the day, but if i were you, i would consider that no clone of a free game is worth more than that free game.......

if youre proud of your first project, you should probably try to get people to actually play it, free with ads would work a lot better than 8 bucks for what we are all assuming is a mobile game

[near wigeon]

maybe if it had like multiplayer VS mode or something I might consider 5$
8 is pretty steep tbh

[shadow summit]

yes, it will be free on phones + ad-free, but on PCs, I will make a paid version, at least that's the plan

[copper gust]

what makes your paid one better than the other ones on steam?

[worldly cave]

not even on steam lol you can play minesweeper for free online

it even has a vs mode nav mentioned

and quests.... damn this kinda interesting

[copper gust]

sure but if we are talking paid on steam

[near wigeon]

one benefit of steam it can be played on SteamOS & possibly steamdeck if OP does the controls proper

[copper gust]

other minesweepers are on steam for money

[worldly cave]

i honestly did not know there was apparently a huge minesweeper market on steam

[copper gust]

yeah there is like a ton

[near wigeon]

what isn't on steam these days

[worldly cave]

shit i actually want to play apparently

guess i need to get into this minesweeper market 😔

new indie rougelite with deckbuilding elements

[shadow summit]

Yes, I'm trying to create multiplayer.

[near wigeon]

easier said than done xD

[hushed hamlet]

You know your pricing better than us. Go for it

[copper gust]

Minesweeper Together

Minesweeper is back, but this time it's together! Minesweeper Together is a logical puzzle board game about revealing cells and avoiding mines in a multiplayer environment.…

Price

$2.00

gotta compete with this

[near wigeon]

what I tell ya ? games like these go for a few bucks

study the competition , what features they offer then add a few extra features to increase your chances/ price

[worldly cave]

i dont think this is productive to the conversation

[shadow summit]

In any case, I need to think about it a lot more, because I won't be releasing it anytime soon. Thanks for all the advice.

[near wigeon]

best of luck

[hushed hamlet]

He's capable of googling prices. None of this is productive

He's probably just trolling you

[shadow summit]

I don't think so, I wanted to make a clean idea, and if it works out, I can add some fun stuff, thanks for the idea. Yes, I tried to analyze the market, but as you can see, it's around $0-7

[worldly cave]

weird assumption based on apparently nothing

he does...

thats why he asked

tf

[hushed hamlet]

Are you in a different convo? He ignored everything you said and decided on $8.

(But having read the messages closer I concede, I am wrong sometimes)

[copper gust]

rancid convo vibes

[worldly cave]

people being stubborn does not indicate malice

but whatever

[shadow summit]

I don't think I would write about it just to troll, but I'm happy to hear the opinions of other developers who have gone through this journey.

[hushed hamlet]

The first ~20 or so games I did was mostly just price testing at the time, testing out different monetization strategies. I'm supporting you charging more than the competition and assessing if it was worth it.

I think pulling up comparables and looking at freemium models is the wise choice. But going in at a higher value because you want to, I support that.

[shadow summit]

Thank you all, I will take this conversation into account when pricing this project.

[hushed hamlet]

The only small detail is it's pretty common to have a different strat for mobile vs pc

[hushed hamlet]

Not sure how you are drawing them, but if substance painter is out of reach, there is InstaMAT (free tier) and other tools to speed up and improve your texturing process

[harsh pine]

yes, there is an animation playing while the pointing is happening. Essentially, I have a child (ArmRAim) of a Unity Animation Rigging rig (Return Arm Rig) that has a multi-aim constraint that is constraining Arm_R of my player's skeleton ( my player skeleton is essentially the same as a minecraft/early roblox skeleton), with its source object as the ArmTarget game object that is also parented to the Return Arm Rig. i am controlling the animations through an animator on the parent of the skeleton (also the parent of the Return Arm Rig).

currently i just have the arm snap to point at the static target, but eventually i will make it point at the returning sword (see attached)

[hushed hamlet]

Assuming the issue is still happening

Without looking closer, the Animator will overide any transform changes you put into an Update. If that's how you are pointing. You'll want to move it to LateUpdate. Or apply an Avatar Mask possibly...

[lost garnet]

Is it ok to use DOTween (free version) for comercail use?

[hushed hamlet]

Id probably just apply an additive rotation to the hand in LateUpdate..

  var e = transform.localEulerAngles;
  e.y += 20f
  transform.localEulerAngles = e;
}```

Something akin to that is the quick way.  Keeping in mind I typed it on mobile so may not be great code.

[surreal nexus]

I like the top hat

[lost garnet]

Also what do they mean by this? It's on their download page

[hushed hamlet]

Afaik the free version uses the Unity Asset Store license, so good for use with commercial use.

[near wigeon]

PrimeTween > DOTween

[hushed hamlet]

In your player settings you can disable safe mode, it looks like it's only used for universal windows platform in this case, which is very unlikely a platform your using. It's not used very often. It doesn't apply for normal windows games.

[harsh pine]

the problem stems not in the hand's rotation (that's working great-- thanks unity) but rather in the ArmTarget not being allowed to change it's position while the game is running. i haven't tested updating it via script, but in the inspector the position does not respond to being adjusted

[lost garnet]

IDK what do they mean by respect the copyright

Liscence https://dotween.demigiant.com/license.php#:~:text=You can freely use DOTween,you cannot redistribute modified versions.

[hushed hamlet]

Don't steal it and resell it as your own pretty much

[lost garnet]

I see now

I am blind

[harsh pine]

i suppose the animator could be refusing to let it move, but it doesn't seem to be functioning like how i've seen it happen, like in this video: https://youtu.be/Htl7ysv10Qs?t=451

[lost garnet]

It's been a long time I messed with the ragdolls and animators but I think you gotta be disabling the animator for it to work.

[harsh pine]

Im not sure about that. I think the point of it would be to override the animator while the animation still plays. mabye the target simply should be located elsewhere in the hierarchy?

[near wigeon]

yes the IK does override the Animator and it does need it to function properly

[near wigeon]

this isn't Ragdolls, its Inverse Kinematic

[near wigeon]

you cropped out the hierarchy its difficult to deduce what's going on...

[lost garnet]

told you

[harsh pine]

here is an earlier message with the hierarchy #💻┃unity-talk message

[near wigeon]

which component are you using for that TwoBone- IK ?

[worldly cave]

weirdest editor bug oat

cant drag anything around

not assets, nothing in a scene

reset already twice... even deleted the library folder

anyone experience anything similar?

[harsh pine]

not sure what you are referring to, but here is a screenshor pointing out the components of the multi-aim constraint

[near wigeon]

ohh multiaim constraint.. thought you were doing bones

have you tried moving the target out of the skeleton ?

the up and aim axis also look incorrect but don't think that should mess with the target itself

[harsh pine]

ill do that now. the video i watched that explained unity's rigging constraints had the target parented by the rig. the up and aim axis worked when i changed them so i didn't question it

actually that seems to work. cool

[near wigeon]

the "Aim" is where you want the forward to point towards too "look at" in most cases thats the blue arrow

[harsh pine]

that makes sense

thanks

where is the target in the hierarchy of that particular example, out of curiosity

[near wigeon]

for mine is completely out of the player controller because it follows the mouse

[harsh pine]

i see

thanks for the help

[near wigeon]

at least is working now lol

[harsh pine]

[surreal nexus]

Okay does anybody know a youtube or a guide for actual level building? I just can't figure out modeling a hallway piece or something and then putting a material to it while making it stretch and fit to those pieces.

[copper gust]

either a #🛠️┃probuilder thing or a different server thing

[normal tide]

haha fair enough

[fair cove]

Making something "stretch and fit" is called "UV Unwrapping", or if everything is a flat plane, then you can use UV tiling in Unity (or Blender if you want) to repeat your texture, youll want to work with a "seamless" texture though so its harder to see where your pattern begins and ends on the hallway, that should give you some topics to research - if you just mean level design in general, you may be able to find Blender tutorials or tutorials from level designers and game designers on YouTube, depending on the techniques your wanting to learn

[austere mason]

Don't stretch the material
Use modular parts with UVs
The engine must not overwork

[surreal nexus]

It did look like a really cool game though

Okay UV Unwrapping and Tiling. Legit going to make an actual note of those for later cause it's late and I need to get up early in the morning lol

Also the seemless texture thing too

[fair cove]

Oh yeah, scanorrl mentions a good point, using multiple modular parts is also a good idea and a common approach to level design (especially when prototyping)

[surreal nexus]

modular parts. I'll make a note of that too, cause I'm not sure if I know the term, I can't remember off hand.

[fair cove]

If you worked with store assets or prefabs before, you probably worked with modular assets as well, its basically creating sections of something so you can stack and extend it by repeating it, for example a single step for a staircase, or a window that you can space 10m apart to make a hallway with windows, etc

[surreal nexus]

Tell me if I'm right then cause I just looked it up too. Basically a reusable piece for ease of access without having to make the same thing over and over separately?

[lucid dome]

Anyone know a good pack or single asset for a Tow Truck that would blend in well with Synty packs?

the Polygon series specifically

[near wigeon]

highly specific, also not a unity queston

[lucid dome]

doesnt really seem to be a general channel so this seemed most fitting since i want it for unity

[surreal nexus]

So basically this is a bad thing to do then, I'm fairly certain. Image with red on lower half is correct, the other image's texture is upside down.

[near wigeon]

@lucid dome there isn't one most of them are for unity help question

you can probably look for any "low-poly" asset and should always be one that fits close enough

[lucid dome]

looked through dozens and they all stick out immediately which is why i figured its worth asking here

[copper gust]

what your looking for might not exist

or exists in synty's pack

[lucid dome]

pretty sure they dont have one i own most of the polygon packs and also tried the search tool i figured one of the packs might like city or construction but no luck.

[near wigeon]

use probuilder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCt3UoGnlLI
its whats made for

stretching cubes aint gonna do it

[lucid dome]

the new probuilder has improved so much too, and very easy to use

[near wigeon]

yes, the original author is working on something even better

[lucid dome]

for the one he sold to Unity? or a new thing on his own?

[near wigeon]

yes, his own thing
progress in unity seems slow

[surreal nexus]

Thank you I'll watch it either before I conk out or tomorrow

[lucid dome]

yeah, them getting rid of poly brush was a good move with that stuff so maybe they will focus more on pro builder and some of those tools now

[near wigeon]

we'll see , unity tends to abandon shit out of nowhere

[lucid dome]

yup but atleast majority of the stuff they abandon they should have abandoned years before they did

like what were they thinking with their own scripting language thing lol

i almost started learning it when i started lol

so glad i didnt

[copper gust]

they should not have abandoned new terrain stuff
they should not have abandoned the behaviour graph stuff

[lucid dome]

the terrain has always been pretty awful, they should almost completely revamp it at this point

[copper gust]

they were

it got abandoned

[lucid dome]

the one thing i hated them getting rid of though was that project Gigaya i think it was called

that was amazing, but that stupid CEO scrapped it entirely

[near wigeon]

I wouldn't soley put that on the ceo..

they did not want to spend the time and money to build a internal game
not like Fortnite and unreal

[copper gust]

rough comparison today :/

[lucid dome]

which is fine but they should have released what they had instead of scrapping it all, they were pretty far along

[near wigeon]

not the battle royale crap we have today, I mean the original

[lucid dome]

the stuff they were showing and releasing was really cool

[copper gust]

no i mean

[lucid dome]

i think i found enough various objects in scattered synty packs to mashup a pretty awesome tow truck actually, will take a lot of finesse and random models though

[near wigeon]

its like you had a mechanic fix your car for years, then all the sudden you're asking the mechanic to explain to you how change the timing belts on your engine because car isn't working properly anymore

it would be a moot point

you would ask every step " which one? this one. ok now what next?"

[rare cliff]

🤔

[tall hearth]

I'd change that wording a bit to be like you had a new mechanic that isnt the most well versed in cars fix your car for years (ignore the fact that he would've learned) then went to another one and asked him to explain how you can now fix this car yourself.

The newbie mechanic almost certainly made changes that would make it harder for this new mechanic to go through let alone while teaching you the process

[near wigeon]

true the previous mechanic knew just enough to keep you fooled it was fixing it

. Even if we explained to you where to fix what good will that do? because you have no idea which line even does what

[copper gust]

using the term mechanic is funny seeing that the mechanic is functioning as programmed 😛

[near wigeon]

yeah I give gpt some credit for even getting it to spawn, kinda interesting magic numbers were used outta nowhere instead of variables for refinement

[rare cliff]

So what should I do, reject ChatGpt

[copper gust]

i dont tbh, its probably just a whole chunk taken off someones github

at least learn enough to understand what its telling you

[near wigeon]

there's plenty of resources, some good ones pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

gpt can nudge you in the wrong direction if you let it.. You need a baseline you can fallback on to recognize the wrong

[near wigeon]

simply too much magic

I was just making a battle royale game, so I bought Chatagapt Pro and after that, 45% of the game was made.

pareto principle. You still have 85%+ of the work left.

[tall hearth]

This from public repos?

[near wigeon]

and its supposed to be multiplayer... yikes..
idk man you're in pretty bad shape here if you can't even figure offset of an object how will you deal with networking breaking
@rare cliff

[copper gust]

loves gobbling up these magics

[copper gust]

pretty sure thats ngo and photon in the same project too

[near wigeon]

wait, where is the ngo part?
I only see the photon component

Ngo one doesn't have cool icons

[copper gust]

oh does photon networkobjects look like that? could of sworn newer ngo ones looked similar

might be my b

[near wigeon]

unless its different in 6.3 unity, I only use 6.0 its a regular boring component

[copper gust]

either way project is cooked considering the seemingly stolen pubg assets and potential non commercial assets ripped off sketchfab

[near wigeon]

ya assets can be placeholders though, least of their problems 😂

[vivid cedar]

It's definitely Photon Fusion

You can tell because of the log at the bottom 😛

and the inspectors

[copper gust]

maybe they will win GOTY 😛

[near wigeon]

ngo one no header 🙁

[near wigeon]

0.05 when its just the "right" amount of offset lol

even an adjustable number in inspector it still wouldn't fit all objects, it might be a good offset for 1 object but not another.
They really need to do some math and take half the collider or bounds

[copper gust]

lethal company has like 3 rot vector3s per object for three different situations 😅

[near wigeon]

at that point you can't even use the pivot , some object might have it in middle but others on corner

[tall hearth]

their codes public?

[lucid dome]

there are thousands of free courses on youtube for that

[copper gust]

no im just a big modder who has a parasocial relationship with their codebase

[near wigeon]

or used DotPeek :X

[copper gust]

i've helped fixed some bugs its ok 😛

[rare cliff]

Hey bro, I was wondering—is the Rigidbody component used in multiplayer setups within the Photon Fusion network?

[near wigeon]

in Ngo you can, dunno about photon

easily googleable

[rare cliff]

what is NGO

[near wigeon]

in ngo server-client setup it turns it into kinematics for client, the server is the one who will simulate it and relay that to the kinematics

[rare cliff]

means

[near wigeon]

Netcode for Gameobjects

Unitys multiplayer

[near wigeon]

this across all objects?

[copper gust]

per object

[near wigeon]

that makes more sense

[rare cliff]

Bro, I really don't understand anything at all anymore.

🤔

how to learn

[copper gust]

making big multiplayer games are very complicated

[near wigeon]

brodder you chose too much of a complex project to start with

[copper gust]

might take a long time to learn

[vivid cedar]

if you're just a beginner trying to make a networked multiplayer game is much too complicated

[tall hearth]

this, i've tried twice given up both times never want to again ~_~

[copper gust]

its very annoying

[near wigeon]

yeah it does complicate everything x3

did 4 player blackjack and took me half a year just do get a simple thing like that done

I cant imagine doing something like a RPG or some shit

racing games or player reconciliation heavy

[copper gust]

yeah anything with prediction miss me with that

[near wigeon]

yeah those really need a good team with years of networking xp

its cool when it works testing locally on your pc with multiple windows..optimal connection
NGO has some tools to test latency / simulate bad connections and my entire approach to how i did certain items in ngo changed
because latency changes everything

[copper gust]

i hate NGO it's awesome

i'm still infinitely bothered by ngo networkvariables not invoking their event when initially synced

it's almost a great system but bleh

[near wigeon]

there are a few weird caveats but its overall pretty much plug n play to get something decent goin

sometimes Its hard to distinguish between the Dunning Kruger effect or disillusionment of gamedev in general

I guess games make things "look easier" to make

[tall hearth]

i sit in the pit of "i know nothing" until i get something to work than i go oh now i know this up until i need to know it later

[novel sable]

For me? No, it's a VRM 3d model for Warudo, nto VRChat

[copper gust]

ah, you'll have to hit up that kinda community

vrm stuff is specific to those kinda communities

[novel sable]

I figured unity would be alright since it invovles textures on a humanoid model not facing the right way, maybe something to do with uv mapping

common enough someone herem ight know lol

the TYPE ofmodel shouldn't matter, right? unless UV mapped unity models are rare and specific to vrchat and vrms, and i wasn't aware of that

[near wigeon]

you would need something like blender

[tall hearth]

just checking cause i've always assumed unity handles this internally but i dont need to GC collect instances of classes without any references right?

[near wigeon]

it should get collected by gc automatically

but thats assuming nothing else is holding onto it like an event sub or sum

[tall hearth]

alrighty

[near wigeon]

only ~~gameobjects ~~Unity.Object require Destroy() to be called n be explicit

[copper gust]

Unity.Object's* right?

The new 6.4 lists w/w the scroll bars are a bit... glitchy lol (opened list, scrolled down, scrolled up)

[limber elbow]

How do you guys make a new forum post/topic? Am I missing a button somewhere?
I am logged in.

[near wigeon]

where are you trying to post ? are you in the category or just seeing by tag

[vivid cedar]

you should have this

[hard mantle]

I am also missing the "+ New Topic" Button

maybe they're doing something with the website

[limber elbow]

For example in Localization. But I cannot see button anywhere

[hard mantle]

I created one not too long ago, was def where PraetorBlue showed when I did. Missing it now unless I go to the "Getting Started" section and ONLY that section has it.

[limber elbow]

ooh, same here

[hard mantle]

but you can only create a "getting started" topic through that so

i'd say they're doing something

try again in an hour or so maybe

[near wigeon]

you're viewing tags.
You have to go to the category

https://discussions.unity.com/c/unity-engine/52

then you can select "Localization"

[limber elbow]

Thanks! It is confusing though 🙂

[near wigeon]

yea its not the most intuitive..

I miss old school forums

what happened to fog in unity nowadays? didnt it use to be inside post processing and so simple to tweak and setup? how tf do i make a local fog now?

why unity keeps doing this, keeps moving stuff around that shouldnt be moved

[copper gust]

fog is not post processing

[tranquil helm]

it keeps being less and less QoF engine

[copper gust]

what pipeline are you using

[tranquil helm]

urp

[copper gust]

urp doesn't have local fog afaik

not as a default feature

it's one of the bigger appeals of HDRP

[tranquil helm]

i remember making local fog in urp years ago in post processing

[copper gust]

i don't know if that is true

maybe your thinking of deferred fog?

[ocean pumice]

Talking about this?

[tranquil helm]

idk exactly whats that

[tranquil helm]

no, thats the bad one, which is currently the only one i can find

it has 0 options

[copper gust]

it sounds like you either had a third party asset or you were using hdrp

[tranquil helm]

i didnt, i simply remember using all default unity stuff and easily adding fog and chahing it and whatnot

i literally have a picture in my brain from back in the day

[ocean pumice]

There is no fog for URP as deferred renderer is missing in the pipeline

[copper gust]

what i'm personally aware of and what i found online conflicts with your memory

your more than welcome to research it

[ocean pumice]

there was fog years ago, but the default fog env setting now covers all objects, which was not the case years ago

[tranquil helm]

im not much of a programmer, so i defintly wasnt using some complex features, all i can remember is i was able to put local fog and tweak 1000 settings for it in 2 clicks

[copper gust]

like these?

[ocean pumice]

you most likely mean this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.5/manual/Deferred-Fog.html

[tranquil helm]

i mean idk whats the differnce between deffered and normal fog

i just want to be able to make a certain area with fog and change its looks

[copper gust]

then you want hdrp

[tranquil helm]

i dont want global fog and with 0 options to play around

[ocean pumice]

are you matching these requirements? then you can use the screenspace fog post processing: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.5/manual/requirements.html

as you can see, its only covering older versions

[tranquil helm]

so whats the answer

how do i use fog in unity nowadays

[ocean pumice]

Did you read the page?

[copper gust]

its not nowdays, nothing has changed

[tranquil helm]

it just shows package for post process

[copper gust]

you probably want HDRP or a third party asset

if you want it specialised to a location in the scene

[gray dirge]

Also don't use the PP package. It's meant for the built-in pipeline which you probably don't use

[ocean pumice]

At some point (if I remember correctly) things changed and URP got its own PostProcessing settings instead of using the package. Correct me if I am wrong. So back then, it was possible to use the fog PP effect with URP from the package.

[tranquil helm]

my god i think ill just learn unreal, unity keeps pissing me off every time i come back to it

[copper gust]

ima be real homie i think you just remembered wrong

[tranquil helm]

i need to learn 50 guides and use 700 braincells in order to put down fkin local fog

[copper gust]

correct but it doesn't have many options and i don't think it is "local" like what is being described
