Does anyone know how to bind sorting methods on click to headers of MultiColumnListView for UITOoolkit

[main gull]

Hi, does anyone have a model for a gas station?

[latent meadow]

In addition to the mentioned googling, the Unity Asset Store has many assets.
https://assetstore.unity.com/search#q=gas station

over 10000 of which are free. including some gas stations

[undone monolith]

I'm making a third person medieval fighting game that I started working on today. For an attack system, I made it so that when you left mouse click, it'll show up on logs with CLICK DETECTED on the Update() function. When you attempt to left mouse click while facing the enemy capsule, they should receive 25 damage. After 4 hits the capsule will disappear. However I've been using Camera raycast earlier to detect hits, and since the Z axis is -4 away from the Player capsule, the hits didn't work and it only worked on when the Z axis was 0. So in attempt to make sure that when the Player capsule is at a distance close enough to the Enemy capsule they would take damage, however now this doesn't work in neither first person or third person.

    {
        Debug.Log("ATTACK CALLED");

        RaycastHit hit;

        // Step 1: Get aim direction from camera
        Vector3 direction = playerCamera.transform.forward;

        // Step 2: Start from player body
        Vector3 origin = transform.position + Vector3.up * 1.5f;

        Debug.DrawRay(origin, direction * attackRange, Color.red, 2f);

        if (Physics.Raycast(origin, direction, out hit, attackRange))
        {
            Debug.Log("HIT SOMETHING: " + hit.transform.name);

            EnemyHealth enemy = hit.transform.GetComponent<EnemyHealth>();

            if (enemy != null)
            {
                enemy.TakeDamage(attackDamage);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("RAY HIT NOTHING");
        }
    }```

[vivid cedar]

What object are you expecting the raycast to hit?

[undone monolith]

The Enemy GameObject

[vivid cedar]

What components are on the Enemy object? Does it have a collider?

Also why are you sttarting the ray from here: Vector3 origin = transform.position + Vector3.up * 1.5f;

shouldn't it start from the camera's position?

[undone monolith]

It has a capsule collider and a Rigidbody

I've also checked on Is Kinematic

[violet thunder]

They mentioned third person so makes sense

[vivid cedar]

ah I see

[vivid cedar]

Well based on your screenshot, the ray is clearly missing

Isn't it?

I think instead of putting magic numbers like Vector3.up * 1.5f;, you should make an empty child object on the player at the exact place and orienation you want to fire the raycast from and use that object's position and forward direction to do the raycast

[undone monolith]

Thank you 👍

[vivid cedar]

you did all the right stuff here with the Debug.DrawRay and the logs. Just gotta verify it in the scene 😛

[undone monolith]

I created a new empty GameObject and named it AttackPoint, then made a new public Transform attackPoint; and adjusted the Step 1 and Step 2 lines.

{
    Debug.Log("ATTACK CALLED");

    RaycastHit hit;

    Vector3 origin = attackPoint.position;
    Vector3 direction = playerCamera.transform.forward;

    Debug.DrawRay(origin, direction * attackRange, Color.red, 2f);

    if (Physics.Raycast(origin, direction, out hit, attackRange))
    {
        Debug.Log("HIT SOMETHING: " + hit.transform.name);

        EnemyHealth enemy = hit.transform.GetComponent<EnemyHealth>();

        if (enemy != null)
        {
            enemy.TakeDamage(attackDamage);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("RAY HIT NOTHING");
    }
}```


And now the ``void Attack()`` works perfectly

anyone know why my model has these weird shadow cuts? Im using urp

So uhh to get straight to the point:
After suffering warthunder/WoTB for years i got tired of both and now want to make my own tank game, similar to them, in Unity ( which i already downloaded ). I have 0 idea of game development and i plan on doing it all myself, where/how should i start?

Also i "played" the tutorial, when it came to playtesting steps it just says "No camera renders available" or something like that, idk where that issue comes from, any idea?

lemme see

no settings i can see..

Its under the other settings section it exists trust us

Then you should look closer because it's right where the bot says it is

note that "Project Settings" and "Preferences" are two different windows

Isnt there also a search bar

yeah, and it

kind of helps?

It'll show you which sub-menu has the setting you want, but it's kind of bad at actually taking you to the setting

Guys how do you get C#? I don’t have the option for a tutorial I’m trying to follow, do I have to buy it or something?

[stuck flower]

What option

[red zealot]

To code in C#

[stuck flower]

what?

What are you looking for that you're expecting to be there but isn't

You just make a file and type in it

You could do it in Notepad if you wanted to

(Please don't)

[red zealot]

I swear you select to be C sharp don’t you?

[stuck flower]

Select what

[red zealot]

Like making a file then right click and then create and then C sharp

[stuck flower]

MonoBehaviour Script

Or Scripting -> Empty C# Script if you want a blank template

[red zealot]

I’m kinda new so I dont really get that

[stuck flower]

Get what? Those are the buttons you'd hit to create a script

MonoBehaviour, or, if you want it to be empty, Empty C# Script

[red zealot]

Don’t get it as in I don’t understand whatever you mean.

[stuck flower]

I'm telling you the button to press to create a script

MonoBehaviour Script

[red zealot]

I’ll try do it now

So I can use that like I would an empty C# script?

And open in notebook?

[stuck flower]

If you want an empty C# script, you'd choose Scripting -> Empty C# Script instead

[red zealot]

Oh right thank you

[plain dagger]

me who still makes a monobehavior regardless

[worldly cave]

i honestly dont think i ever made an empty script lol

out of habit i just make MB and delete everything in the base template if i need an empty script

[plain dagger]

same, i dont even remember when the other options were added

[gray frigate]

i usually create scripts from inside of Rider now

[lapis gate]

I dont trust unity enough to make scripts in my ide

had some meta file problems having to clear everything

i had odd issues a while back too. have not tried since. may be fine now, for all i know

neither of them

[opal coyote]

oh this one

yes

[worldly cave]

Add this into your update... and show us what it shows when you try to move

[opal coyote]

it shows nothing it just doesnt move

[worldly cave]

im writing it

give me a second.

Debug.Log($"Move Input: {moveInput}, Vertical Velocity: {verticalVelocity}, IsGrounded: {isGrounded}");

[opal coyote]

imma give u all the time u need

oh that was quick

[opal coyote]

do i just paste this at the end

[worldly cave]

put it in your update function

[opal coyote]

where is my update function

downloaded unity today

[worldly cave]

its right there

in the code you sent

[opal coyote]

oh its in the code i thought its in the app

ok wait

lemme find it

bro i did not write ts code i dont understand nothing not even the words

[worldly cave]

you didnt write it?

what

[opal coyote]

nah gng

[worldly cave]

well who wrote it

[opal coyote]

oh u mean void update?

[opal coyote]

my friend

[worldly cave]

yes that is in fact your update function

[undone forge]

New to unity, im looking at walls in lethal company and I see how theyre textured and I wanna apply that similar to the walls in my game, im using pro builder. how do i make my walls have this same kind of texture? (the indents / bubbles in the concrete)

[opal coyote]

he goes by the name cop

[stuck flower]

Then have them solve the problem

[worldly cave]

looks like a simple normal map

[opal coyote]

theyre sleep

[worldly cave]

or even tessellation

[opal coyote]

different time zones

[stuck flower]

then send a message and wait

[opal coyote]

but they went to sleep like 1 hour ago they wont answer

[stuck flower]

Just have some good textures. That doesn't look like it's doing anything fancy

[worldly cave]

honestly it might straight up be tessellation

considering it uses hdrp

[stuck flower]

When people fall asleep they have a tendency to eventually wake up

[worldly cave]

sometimes

[stuck flower]

[opal coyote]

like where do i paste it?

void update (Debug.Log($"Move Input: {moveInput}, Vertical Velocity: {verticalVelocity}, IsGrounded: {isGrounded}");)

liks this?

[worldly cave]

no

not like that

[undone forge]

When you get up close its physically indented, I wanna have that same typa detail, I'm still learning unity / game development so I'm not really too sure of how everything works. I'll look into normal maps and tesselation.

[worldly cave]

im telling you... look up tessellation

[opal coyote]

my other friend back in the day didnt sadly

[latent meadow]

could be in the texture itself, dould be decals, could be normal map variants, could be ... . if you do not get an exact answer, you may want to talk to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow they may have a better idea, or #1390346776804069396 maybe

If you literally do not know enough C# to do basic debugging, there's no point in asking. Consider learning the basics first.

Hi, Is anyone here who can help me with shader for 2D?
I want to build the water sorting game. But can't find any resources to do the simulation that the colors should behave like liquid inside glass tube 😢

[opal coyote]

void update()
Debug.Log($"Move Input: {moveInput}, Vertical Velocity: {verticalVelocity}, IsGrounded: {isGrounded}");

like this?

[stuck flower]

A displacement map would be enough to get that sort of effect, it's not just a texture on it, it changes how light and shadows work and basically makes a physical indentation

[worldly cave]

#1390346776804069396

[serene summit]

Thanks

Instead of trying to guess your way into basic C# syntax, you should start learning or wait for the person who does know how this works to come fix it.

I'm gonna be 100% real with you, I have never touched HDRP and thus do not actually know what that means.

Thank you very much, I'll look into it and see what I can do! :)

[opal coyote]

ok thank you for your help.

[worldly cave]

like a displacement map on crack

[stuck flower]

But you can do it in URP just fine with a PBR material

[serene summit]

didn't find anything. And I don't know how long will it take for someone to reply me there.

[worldly cave]

well it might take some time

but its the correct channel for that question

so be patient

[worldly cave]

same geometry

[opal coyote]

ok

[worldly cave]

wowowow soo cool i love hdrp

[stuck flower]

Sweet christmas

[latent meadow]

yeah, Tesselation with displacement is awesome 😄

[worldly cave]

theres also parallax mapping, which is even cheaper, but a bit more limiting

[latent meadow]

but parallax will be flat from the side, right? (extreme angles)

[worldly cave]

yes

[opal coyote]

yo kuzmo i added it i get an error now lemme send it

[worldly cave]

im like 99% sure you are getting an error because you didnt add it properly

you also should listen to what digiholic told you

[opal coyote]

i did i think

lemme send it to you

the way i added it

[worldly cave]

you do not have to

change isGrounded to cc.isGrounded in the log

i see it now

[opal coyote]

void Update()
{
Debug.Log($"Move Input: {moveInput}, Vertical Velocity: {verticalVelocity}, IsGrounded: {isGrounded}");

like this then so on

[stuck flower]

Change isGrounded to cc.isGrounded in the log

[opal coyote]

oh mb

[opal coyote]

aight bet thanks digiholic

[worldly cave]

bruh

[stuck flower]

[worldly cave]

bro said it louder

[opal coyote]

thank u too kuzmo

no errors but still no walking, jumping or crouching

:((

there is nothing wrong with the code i think since u didnt mention anything so its maybe the components or sum like that

[stuck flower]

This wasn't supposed to fix anything

[worldly cave]

yes that debug would have never solved your actual issue

[stuck flower]

this was literally to debug

[worldly cave]

the point is the information it gives you

or rather us

[opal coyote]

OH

[stuck flower]

That's why it says debug log

[worldly cave]

open your console

[opal coyote]

ok

it says true

is that good or bad

[worldly cave]

it should say a lot more than that

[opal coyote]

ok wait lemme ss

Move Input: (0.00, 0.00), Vertical Velocity: -2, IsGrounded: True
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
SimplePlayerController:Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Player_Movement_Basic.cs:41)

[stuck flower]

Does MoveInput ever show anything but 0,0

[opal coyote]

nope

only 0s

i think it might be the components or sum

[stuck flower]

Then you're never pressing whatever buttons are mapped to Move

[opal coyote]

i am

WASD, C, left shift

none work

[worldly cave]

the code would beg to differ

the code is the arbiter of truth, if it says you arent, then you really arent lol

and there could be a milliong reasons why

maybe the gameobject isnt configured properly

maybe the input asset isnt configured either

[stuck flower]

Not according to your code you aren't

[opal coyote]

it is i checked that one

[opal coyote]

maybe there are some other problems

[stuck flower]

So, what makes you think that those buttons are assigned to the input action Move

[opal coyote]

because im seing them rn

infront of me

[worldly cave]

in the input asset?

[opal coyote]

yep

[latent meadow]

screenshot

[opal coyote]

im like 100% sure abt this one

[opal coyote]

ok

[worldly cave]

you have a good track record

[opal coyote]

😭

as u can see WASD

am i right

or i have skill issues

the crouch is C the sprint is left shift

none work

nothing happens when i press them

[stuck flower]

It's named that, but what is it assigned to

[opal coyote]

oh ok

[worldly cave]

open it up

[opal coyote]

this you mean?

[worldly cave]

why are you screenshots the way that they are

[stuck flower]

Okay, so that's good, now, is this the map you're actually using in your PlayerInput component

[worldly cave]

why are you cropping them at all

do you even have a PlayerInput component as well

[stuck flower]

(At least "Up" is correct)

[opal coyote]

i crop them

[worldly cave]

no need

[opal coyote]

lemme send ss

[opal coyote]

idk how to take full ss

i just press f11

[worldly cave]

press "prntsc" on your keyboard

[opal coyote]

i could crop all the screen

[worldly cave]

then ctrl v

[opal coyote]

my keyboard is german i dont know what prntsc is in german

[worldly cave]

pretty sure its prntsc in every language

should be this

[opal coyote]

no i dont see it on my keyboard

[opal coyote]

oh druck

[worldly cave]

yeah

duck

[abstract umbra]

what he is trying to say that if you will stop cropping every screenshot and start showing more information, maybe people will notice your mistake faster, therefore you can get a better help and save time

[opal coyote]

oh ok

[opal coyote]

i cropped the whole screen

i think its the same map

[worldly cave]

what is the name of the file you opened up here

[opal coyote]

my code and character controller components

[stuck flower]

Click on this thing. It'll open a file in the project folder, open that file. Is that the one you were looking at before?

[opal coyote]

yes opened the same exact thing

my mouse movement works is fine and works perfectly but not the player movements

is there any other ss yall want?

[stuck flower]

I don't think it will fire onActionTriggered when it's set to "Send Messages", try changing it to Invoke C Sharp Events instead

[abstract umbra]

this is not really showing that they are connected

[opal coyote]

are we serious rn

that small problem

[opal coyote]

was ts

😭

[opal coyote]

tysm fam

why is my mouse cursor aint disappearing

i had it in the code right?

[supple mica]

this channel is fun to look that everyday

[abstract umbra]

youre probably using cinemachine with input axis controller, so camera is driven from there

[opal coyote]

🥀

[opal coyote]

its fine now ty

[supple mica]

I'm learning too which is the fun part 👀

[opal coyote]

oh i thought u mean im the funny part

nvm twin

[supple mica]

Nah we all gotta improve somehow, nothing's invalid

[opal coyote]

hide cursor on start is checked but it doesnt hide it

oh nvm

its hiding now the first time was bugged or sum idk

[abstract umbra]

cursor while in the editor is behaving slightly differently from compiled build because you need to be able to test your game, iirc you need to do a left mouse click to make it disappear and esc brings it back

[worldly cave]

you can right click too

[opal coyote]

ya ty

i did it first time idk why it still didnt hide the cursor

its working now though

[abstract umbra]

player input is working too?

[opal coyote]

yep everything is working ty

[abstract umbra]

what was the reason it wasnt working ?

[opal coyote]

this

it should have been on invoke c sharp events instead of send messages

a really simple problem 😭

which only requires knowledge

[opal coyote]

btw i have another question
i got all of these animations how do i make them work

do i have to put them somewhere?

[worldly cave]

make them work how....

[opal coyote]

like use them

[worldly cave]

i think this is now way past your skill level

[opal coyote]

like rn the character is just going forward without his feet moving

[opal coyote]

[worldly cave]

and not something we can explain in 15 minutes

or an hour

you need to understand both how to use the animator, and c#

[opal coyote]

is there a good video or site you recommend that can teach me?

[worldly cave]

without knowing c# basics? youre not going to get far

[opal coyote]

i got my friend dw

[worldly cave]

then ask him to do it.

[opal coyote]

i gotta wait until tmrw then

imagine being patient

i aint waiting

imma go figure it out somehow

imma lyk the results

[worldly cave]

you dont have to

[sweet stirrup]

Yeah theres a whole channel gor that, he's really good at explaining and you can learn a lot from him

[opal coyote]

but i will so i can show you, that your student has gone a long way in his first day

[opal coyote]

aight bet thanks

[opal coyote]

just gor?

[worldly cave]

i cant stop you from posting it here lol, just dont ping me for it or anything please

[opal coyote]

the name is just gor?

[supple mica]

Is it good practice to build a bare-minimum working version of a mechanic first, then refine it later as your skills improve, rather than trying to make it very good upfront

[sweet stirrup]

No i meant to type "for" I'll give you the channel name

[opal coyote]

no worries imma just post it here i hope u see it

[opal coyote]

i dont understand gng 😭

i want a channel for basic animation stuff in unity

or even just a video

[sweet stirrup]

[opal coyote]

ty

found it ty

im bout to find out

he's gone for over a year, i hope he'll come back :/

[sweet stirrup]

Really ?

[opal coyote]

3 mins into the video he really does explain everything carefully good channel ty

[abstract umbra]

yes, no videos, complete silence

[sweet stirrup]

Told you

[supple mica]

His latest video gives a hint

maybe he's redirecting his time into his first game

[vivid tiger]

Yo guys whats the average response time on the unity modmail thing? on my brothers account tryna get mine unbanned that was banned few years back cause i wrote something in the bio that i no longer remember but im sure it was somethingg wild that i thought was kinda funny back then

[abstract umbra]

i know, but it doesnt change the fact that hes gone

[sweet stirrup]

Does he have insta or tiktok where he posts

[supple mica]

This convo doesn't either but we're discussing

[worldly cave]

the server modmail?

[abstract umbra]

he has his own discord server where hes not talking to anyone, thats why i said its complete silence

[vivid tiger]

yea its been annoying cause i havent been able to get any help for alot of my projects cause of this stupid thing i did back then i wanted to get some opinions on my project too but cant keep asking my brother for his account for it

[worldly cave]

do they even do unban requests here?

[latent meadow]

occasionally

[vivid tiger]

i kind of have absolutely no idea

[worldly cave]

im assuming its for stuff like when an account gets stolen or something and posts spam

[vivid tiger]

it could be like a racist joke i had on it maybe? im not racist but like ya know sometimes friends make jokes

[worldly cave]

uhuh

[vivid tiger]

ma man

i was like 16

[worldly cave]

heres my tip

[vivid tiger]

gimmie a break im 20 now

[worldly cave]

dont get your brothers account banned for ban evasion

[latent meadow]

yeah, but it is at their discretion, so depends on the severity, and interpretation

[vivid tiger]

is it evasion though im kind of just appealing using it?

i never even actually did something bad here man

[worldly cave]

its not for us to decide lol

just be patient with the modmail

[vivid tiger]

true

[worldly cave]

and wait, but yeah if you continue to use the account to talk and speak here, it could be considered ban evasion

[latent meadow]

@vivid tiger read through the #📖┃code-of-conduct and see the updated sections on contacting them about this

[opal coyote]

lowk i think what youre doing is ban evading and youre admitting it so your brother account's also might get banned 😭

[vivid tiger]

my brother is sleepin he kinda doesnt know im on his account rn either 💀

[opal coyote]

oh maybe youre right

idk

[supple mica]

[opal coyote]

[opal coyote]

[vivid tiger]

i just checked

i never received any warnings

[opal coyote]

tell the mods too that might be a good reason

cuz like the rules and stuff have changed so u might get unbanned idk

[vivid tiger]

i wouldve changed it immediately if i did im pretty sure i realized that i was ban a long time after when the thing was already removed as well

[vivid tiger]

hopefully man

[opal coyote]

yep

[vivid tiger]

gon have to wait a long time for this tho i think was hoping i couldve sorten this out before my brother wakes up

[latent meadow]

annoying, huh. you can use the slider in the bottom right, which will sacrifice the big icons and make a list, Or make bigger icons which might display more text. i forget if any assest fix the issue with a 'line wrap' type function

[sullen scarab]

I guess I can use the one column view, but I am gonna miss the folder-file seperation the two column view had

[sullen scarab]

space navigator eh?

[latent meadow]

yeah, but it is just what i had open at the time. it is meant to show you can do it this way

[sullen scarab]

Oh, I thought that was the name of the package that causes what you show there (alongside the slider)

How did you get the 2nd column to be in list format?

[latent meadow]

by moving the slider..

[sullen scarab]

oh

lol

[latent meadow]

yeah, the image itself is kind of misleading, but it was stated in the text of the original response, so i wasn't too accurate with the arrows

[sullen scarab]

Oh don't worry about it lol, I should've paid more attention xd

[keen elbow]

Whats the best way to reference objects within a prefab's script? I want to reference the GameController script that is attached to a game controller object. I was told by a friend to make the game controller into a singleton, but it seems like the general opinion of that approach online isn't very positive

i know if im just making a basic project for learning unity that using a singleton is fine but I want to be absolutely sure that I'm using the best practices lol

[latent meadow]

if you do not get responses, maybe try #1390346827005431951 or possibly #💻┃code-beginner

[sullen scarab]

If we're talking if it's a good idea to use singletons in general. I've been noticing that people that start to get used to game dev start to appreciate them more. iirc, in general computer science land, singletons are looked down upon, which might be where the distaste for them is coming from

[latent meadow]

If you want to get some first hand knowledge:
https://unity.com/resources/design-patterns-solid-ebook

[lapis gate]

Prefab implies you can make a bunch of these, so a singleton may not be what you're looking for. But if you're just asking how to access some Player on the scene, a GameManager singleton that references the player might be what you're looking for

[keen elbow]

no I want to be able to reference the gamecontroller from within a prefab of a different object. How would I do that? without a singleton, i mean

[lapis gate]

if it's all prefab'd you can just expose the property/field and link it all together in the editor

that's the handy thing about prefabs

[oak meadow]

you need to get a reference to it at runtime you can find the game controller object in the scene and get the reference there

[lapis gate]

You're either referencing some sort of management system if it's not tied together in prefab, and unless you're caching that reference somewhere, you might just be better with a singleton.

But say that the object that needs to reference the prefab is the source that is initializing it, well you get the reference right then

[storm patio]

reset the clock...

[sullen scarab]

I might be mistaken, but a singleton, if properly created can be referenced as [singleton class name].[singleton static instance]

[lapis gate]

You should never need to iterate over the scene elements to find this instance. If you're initializing at runtime then you should be caching that reference, if it exists on the scene on load, then you should be assigning that reference to a management system which can be accessed statically if needed.

Two easy ways to cache a scene reference
1: just drag the reference into the management system
2: In awake, let the object call the singleton and bind itself to it.

[keen elbow]

maybe im dumb and im misunderstanding, but you know im trying to reference the management system from the prefab correct? not the other way around

because (correct me if im wrong) afaik you cant just drag a non-prefab object (management system) into a prefab object's script's public field

[sullen scarab]

Yeah, so, so long as I'm not mistaken, you can do what I said above for that

[keen elbow]

yeah but what if i dont want to use a singleton?

sorry if im not understanding 😭

[sullen scarab]

Oh, well that changes everything at that point

[keen elbow]

i know singletons are probably ok, i just want to know what the best practice is

so i can instill the habit at an early point rather than having to learn it later

like i could just use GameObject.Find() but i don't really want to do that

[sullen scarab]

Singletons have their place, and as game managers, they're pretty great

[oak meadow]

I dont think you can reference the management system in the prefab

[sullen scarab]

Like I get your hesitance with singletons. I did a similar rabbit hole a few years back, and then ultimately came to the conclusion that they're there for a reason.

[oak meadow]

When you spawn the prefab give the reference there through whats spawning it

Singletons are a core concept and Unity encourages a GameManager anyway.

[gusty abyss]

Truly hate when probuilder does this how can I fix it I tried to restart the editor

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🛠️┃probuilder room which might know

[gusty abyss]

thanks

[sullen scarab]

I wonder, does this server have any rigorous code review channels? I built an effect system that consists of about 10 related classes and I was wondering if I could get feedback on it

[gusty abyss]

yea I have an authorization script for playfab I wanted to get a review on too

[last flame]

[storm patio]

not really, code review of entire systems is a bit much to ask a volunteer to do

you could make a thread in #1390346827005431951, but it's not necessarily gonna get responses

[sullen scarab]

Fair enough

[vital fractal]

just updated my editor version from 6.0 to 6.5 and i got a bunch of these errors. i dont really understand about how to fix it, can someone help me?

[gusty abyss]

I think it has to to with an invalid library or systems being changes

so delete the library folder

[vital fractal]

will it auto-install again the next time i open my project?

[gusty abyss]

from my understanding

I wouldn't do it until a professional validates this

[vital fractal]

i trust u enough, brb ill try it

[gusty abyss]

I don't know what im doin though I just said what ive heard

from a few months ago

[slow dirge]

Yes, library is regenerated by Unity, so there's no problem in deleting it. It can take some time to regenerate though.

[gusty abyss]

so I was right

[gusty abyss]

would showing something I made for a game made in unity but not my game be appropriate for #🏆┃daily-win

[plain plover]

Hey, I'm having an issue with Unity and could really use some help. Also, sorry if this is the wrong channel, I'm new here. Every time I try to open a project it loads normally but then suddenly closes and kicks me back to Unity Hub before the project fully opens. This happens with all my projects and even brand new empty ones.

I checked the Editor.log and it always crashes during texture import with "Got a UNKNOWN while executing native code."

Things I have already tried:

• Deleted Library and Temp folders
• Reinstalled Unity Hub
• Tried both 6000.3.5f2 and 6000.4.0f1
• Added -force-d3d11 launch argument
• Removed com.unity.collab-proxy from manifest.json
• Clean reinstalled NVIDIA drivers
• Cleared Unity shader cache

System specs:
OS: Windows 11
RAM: 32GB
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060
Unity Hub: 3.16.4

Would anyone be able to help or even hop on a call/screen share? Happy to provide the full Editor.log if needed.

[slow dirge]

Maybe upload some part of the editor log to a paste site like big code blocks.

Just wondering smth

How in unity 6 do I make a full body fps character, the one where you can look down up left and right and view your whole body mesh from the front, similar to how Roblox, dying light, COD, and other games work

[slow dirge]

Can you try creating a project outside the users folder?

[latent meadow]

basically, put a camera in the head of a third person character, but make sure it is not clipping with the nose and such

[zenith bobcat]

What if my models hollow internally

Do I just use blender and modify it to solidify inside

[copper gust]

it should be hollow

[latent meadow]

all models in this context are. you put the camera far enough forward to be outside the .. inside

[zenith bobcat]

Any more info please because I can't find anything useful online

Do I attach the camera to the head bone rig als

[latent meadow]

depends.

[zenith bobcat]

Alr thank you

[slow dirge]

One thing I noticed is that it seems to always crash on a texture importer:

Start importing Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core/Editor/PostProcessing/LensFlareResource/[e-mail] using Guid(0047263fa58f91d49a61936e94358829) (TextureImporter)

[plain plover]

Is there something that I have to delete or add to fix that?

[slow dirge]

Another thing is that it seems to fail to load all the project assemblies:

Assembly Assembly-CSharp-Editor-firstpass.dll at Library/ScriptAssemblies/Assembly-CSharp-Editor-firstpass.dll not valid. Loading of assembly skipped.

[slow dirge]

No. I don't think it's something you can delete.

I'd try deleting the unity install and reinstalling again while paying attention to any warnings or errors in the process.

[plain plover]

No, still not working, and I didn't seem to get any errors or warnings while doing the reinstallation

[slow dirge]

Any errors or warnings in the hub logs? I'd do the same with the hub too.complete reinstall and make sure no errors in the logs.

[plain plover]

I just reinstalled the Unity Hub, did you mean something else previously?

[storm patio]

the unity editor

[plain plover]

Oh ok, I've reinstalled the version, https://paste.ofcode.org/iUw7nDNLPj6iAgbWM3i3Ew I believe this should be the editor logs, I think it's showing an error though, but in the Unity Hub it seemed to install properly

The editor is still not launching

[slow dirge]

Try searching the hub logs for errors.

[plain plover]

Is that a .json file?

[storm patio]

it's jsonl, but close enough

the extension on the file is json though

[undone monolith]

Is there a way to keep Unity's input system to both by default

whenever I make a new project, I have to always change it

[feral heart]

Are there any complications that arise from moving default file locations from the C: drive? I want to change it for file size reasons but I’m not sure if it’ll mess anything up.

[latent meadow]

default files?

[feral heart]

My projects and editors and such

[latent meadow]

projects should be no problem. you can reinstall the editors to a new location, yes. also, be aware that a large usage can be the package caches. let me get a screen shot, on sec

yours will show different, since i moved mine off onto a different drive

[gusty abyss]

wasn't unity suppose to get a giant overhaul on the animation system

whens that coming

[storm fable]

so i just download the unity hub but when it downloads the editor at 100% it says validating then faild to download i tried three times but still the same

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[raven patrol]

Hi there, is it only me or the Unity Asset Store website is painfully slow ? And it is definitively not related to my internet connection speed. Every time I want to add a free or paid asset to my account, it take me at least 1 hour. The Add Asset button not responding, popup with spinning icon run for 10 minutes, I've to log out and log back in... I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome on windows...

Ho yeah I see the issue, can someone explain why the Asset Store Website eat 15 GB of my RAM !! And it keep climbing haha.

[sly lake]

Just tested by adding a free asset and works fine for me.

That RAM usage is insane though 😄

[raven patrol]

[fierce shuttle]

does anyone here have any tips on building a unity build server? I have github actions running on a local runner, but the build times are quite long despite the server being quite powerful and im assuming this is because it keeps having to build the library.

at this point its quicker to run the build on my computer and upload it to steam manually

I have unity accelerator running too but

doesnt seem to help much

Hey, guys! Why do we use Tile Palettes & Sprite Editor in 2D I mean sprite editor is actually a way to slice whatever sprite we want to use and also change the pivot points for example of a sprite? I haven't really used a lot Tilemaps and Tile Palettes, so if someone could explain to me maybe, I know there is a documentation but I would like to hear your way of thinking about them.

[copper gust]

have you watched tutorials on them?

[boreal river]

now thats what I do

but I just wanted to know more maybe you have something to share

[gray frigate]

a "Sprite" is an asset that contains:

• which texture to look at
• which part of the texture to use
• where the "pivot point" of the sprite is

You often have many sprites in a single texture

it would be very inefficient to upload thousands of time textures to the GPU

so you pack them together

the Tile Palette exists solely to make it easier to edit your tilemaps

it lets you easily switch between tiles (including tiles with custom settings, like a different color)

[spice cloak]

can anyone make a gtag copy for me u will be owner aswell (vr)

[copper gust]

nope

[worldly cave]

nobody will work for free for you no

[spice cloak]

i can’t give money bc i live in the uk

[stuck flower]

No

[stuck flower]

I wasn't aware that the UK had outlawed money. Good for them.

[spice cloak]

what…

[copper gust]

(anyone wanting to make a gtag game would just make it, they don't need you)

[boreal river]

my walls doesn't look good

at the right side they are off the range of pixel perfect camera view

[stuck flower]

You probably need to use a pixel-perfect camera

[boreal river]

I am using pixel perfect

320x240 resolution both on pixel perfect camera and display on game view

[stuck flower]

What does the texture look like? Do the sprites just look like that?

[boreal river]

these sprites were made by me on Aseprite

yes

[stuck flower]

So what exactly is the problem then

[boreal river]

the problem is they arent isometric

you see the walls at the right side

and the walls on the left side

its because of the camera view I am not sure how to make them fit the screen properly

[stuck flower]

Wait this is supposed to be isometric? These don't look like isometric sprites, this looks top-down

[boreal river]

check this out

[stuck flower]

Okay so it's not isometric?

[boreal river]

not isometric

I'm on discord phone and code pc

[boreal river]

I can just increase the pixel perfect camera view no?

[stuck flower]

Then open discord on the pc

[boreal river]

size probablty

[inland apex]

I forgot my password

[stuck flower]

That's a you problem

And easily fixable

[storm patio]

helping through 2 steps of literal telephone is not going to be conducive to helping you

[boreal river]

my tiles are 16x16

[magic flume]

hey guys, how do i make my camera follow my player?

[stuck flower]

It is symmetrical. Both of your walls are "bleeding" over the same amount from their tile

It's just that on the left, the small side is being cropped by the camera, and on the right side, the big side is being cropped

[boreal river]

yes check the left side thats what I mean

[stuck flower]

So, it seems that your "wall" tile is bigger than your grid

[storm patio]

try googling about that, there's several ways depending on what you already have

[stuck flower]

Or, actually, I think I might be seeing the camera boundaries instead of the tile boundaries?

It's hard to tell, I might be chasing a ghost

I think the problem is just that your camera's position isn't aligned to the grid. Just move the camera a bit

[boreal river]

wait I think

the grid wasn't at the origin point that was the problem it was supposed to be at (0,0,0)

for one reason I cant see right now my tiles what is happening XD

[copper gust]

i imagine this doesn't help

[boreal river]

so what no that wasn't the issue

[stuck flower]

Are they actually within view of your camera

There's still a Z-axis even if you don't see it from this angle

[boreal river]

I got really confused

[stuck flower]

Are the tiles actually in front of the camera

[boreal river]

I mean why I cant see the tiles I mean

yes I have orthographic view

[worldly cave]

that doesnt guarantee they will be in front

[stuck flower]

okay but are they in front of the camera

[worldly cave]

if you have 2 tiles at the same xy position but different z positions

one will show while the other wont

[boreal river]

oh maybe thats because I change the position to 0,0,0

of the grid?

[stuck flower]

Is 0,0,0 in front of the camera

[magic flume]

im using cinemachine for my camera - and i have this bug that whenever i go left it goes blank.. does anyone know what is happening?

[stuck flower]

Because your camera's Z position is changing

[magic flume]

how do i lock it

[stuck flower]

Probably because you're flipping the character over, and the camera is now looking at the backside of your scene whenever you turn around

Go in to 3D view and see what is happening there

[lavish laurel]

Hello i am new i am developing a new game called XboxTale

[magic flume]

it flips my character automatically

[boreal river]

I have changed the z axis of the camera to -1

[stuck flower]

What does?

[boreal river]

and now I see my tiles, so probably that was the problem

[magic flume]

did you mean 3D follow option in cinemachine?

[boreal river]

Do I have to have my scale at 2x or 1x?

on game view

my resolution is 320x240

and why?

[stuck flower]

You should use the flip options in sprite renderer, instead of inverting the scale of the character to flip them

[storm patio]

(i think the cause would be rotation there, just to be pedantic)

[stuck flower]

I think both would cause the same issue, actually

So it could be either

[storm patio]

i don't think inverting X would affect Z

it certainly doesn't affect Y

[candid trout]

can i make money from learning unity?

[storm patio]

no

you can't really make money from just learning anything

[stuck flower]

You have to actually do stuff

[storm patio]

if you apply the things you learn in a way that other people value, then you might be able to make money. but it's never a guarantee

[candid trout]

but how do i find clients

[candid trout]

yeaa....okkiee

[stuck flower]

You probably won't

[candid trout]

bruh!

[stuck flower]

If you want money, write accounting software

If you want to make games, make games

[candid trout]

okk

[copper gust]

or probably still write accounting software 😭

[worldly cave]

or just be a content creator or something

create content about making games

when in doubt sell shovels during a gold rush

[candid trout]

okiee will try it fs

but first i gotta learn how to use this thing

[copper gust]

will take months - years so you have time to think

[worldly cave]

that was not a serious suggestion

you are even less likely to succeed as a content creator

[candid trout]

yeaa ik

[candid trout]

but why not to give it a try

[boreal river]

does it look fine to you guys?

The walls specifically I mean

[worldly cave]

making games is great

and if you want to do it you should

but dont expect to make money from it

and if youre just in it for the money, i would say pick a different skill

[candid trout]

okieee 👍

[boreal river]

Guys anything to say?

I have to somehow make my walls look symmetrical

top, right, left, bottom

[gray frigate]

It looks like your pixel-perfect camera isn't configured correctly. The walls look aliased.

the gaps between the bricks aren't consistent

[candid trout]

cant i just put my work on epic.....in that fab section?

[gray frigate]

can you show the original texture?

[boreal river]

@candid trout Don't get into game development, you wont like it believe me 😭

[candid trout]

i wanna learn it.......ik its difficult but i like diffcult things

[boreal river]

if you dont have patience and you are a person that can easily ragebait do not

[worldly cave]

you mean selling assets?

you could

but also not a lot of money in it unless the assets are really good lol

[candid trout]

yeaaah

[worldly cave]

takes also a lot of time and effort

and practice and skill lol

none of this is easy

[candid trout]

wot about a avg asset with lover price

[stuck flower]

Can you actually make assets worth money

[copper gust]

they are talking about average assets

[boreal river]

what I have wrong??

[gray frigate]

i want to see the brick texture

[worldly cave]

people especially wont buy cheap assets

[candid trout]

oh okiee

[worldly cave]

people either get free assets or buy quality ones

[gray frigate]

can you show me the preview pane? i need to see the actual texture :p

[candid trout]

okk....

[magic flume]

i fixed my camera and flipping issue turns out its better t use flipX in renderer so the camera wont change its Z rotation

[boreal river]

which prev

[gray frigate]

e.g.

[candid trout]

wouldnt it just take 1 week or 2 to make a gud one??

or it requires more time?

[stuck flower]

...are you actually serious

[copper gust]

months to a year, or years if you include what you'd need to learn

[boreal river]

it is 16x16 you dont have something to see there

[worldly cave]

ok this is a troll

[candid trout]

just dont judge me.....i am currently new to this thing

[worldly cave]

almost certainly

[worldly cave]

and your first thought is "how can i make a lot of money?"

you have this all backwards

[boreal river]

the problem is not the texture

[gray frigate]

Show it anyway

[stuck flower]

How long do you think it takes to make a video game

[gray frigate]

I want to make sure you aren't having two problems right now

[copper gust]

-said by someone who does not know what the problem is

[gray frigate]

You do, indeed, have a problem with your camera placement

[boreal river]

I have made the texture myself I know better

[worldly cave]

you open unreal, you press the triple aaa button, maybe the multiplayer button and youre done duh

[boreal river]

I know what I have exported

[gray frigate]

I'm not even suggesting that your texture is a problem

[worldly cave]

takes like an entire month!

[copper gust]

There's no reason to assume you can make tilable textures correctly

[gray frigate]

I want to see what it looks like so that I can be sure that you aren't having a problem with your pixel-perfect camera

[boreal river]

I was making for some time pixel art

its not a hard skill to learn and I did it myself so I know what I have exported

[copper gust]

sick, no one will remember that or care

[storm patio]

we do not know what you are capable of, because contrary to popular belief, we are not in your walls

[copper gust]

post the sprite

[stuck flower]

Speak for yourself!

[storm patio]

being able to challenge or validate assumptions is a crucial step in debugging. just show this thing so we can eliminate it as a possible culprit

[magic flume]

lol

[gray frigate]

I'm suspecting that the camera isn't aligning correctly with the tiles, causing the gaps between the bricks to be uneven

Thererfore, I need to see the original texture, so that I can decide if this is just how it's supposed to look or if something is wrong with your camera

[storm patio]

or it could be the pixel perfect camera doing the weird upscale render texture thing

or it could be the gameview being small/zoomed messing with it

[gray frigate]

indeed

[storm patio]

so many possibilities

imagine not being able to eliminate any...

[gray frigate]

you'd get this distortion if your game view's scale was not set to 1x

[candid trout]

yeaa a lil bit of money would also work

[copper gust]

i mentioned this already btw

[gray frigate]

oh, if that's still set that way, then that's the issue

[candid trout]

what if i just make characters or things for a video game and not the whole game

[storm patio]

stelios tends to read every other message in my experience

[gray frigate]

the problem is that there are a lot of assets out there

[copper gust]

thats what people were talking about

[stuck flower]

It is best to just assume you will never make money learning game development. Anything you do make is statistically a fluke

[stuck flower]

How long do you think it takes to make a high quality video game asset?

[gray frigate]

I would suggest participating in game jams. You get exposed to a lot of stuff all at once

i had fun making assets REALLY QUICKLY

[stuck flower]

Teams of dozens of people take months to make a single character

[boreal river]

so, I have to figure out what the problem is

[worldly cave]

that still takes a whole lot of time and effort

and isnt that profitable

[magic flume]

There isn't really any money in game development unless you're an artistic creative genius who's made something nobody thought about bringing generational success

[worldly cave]

nobody is a full time "asset developer"

[storm patio]

that's what debugging is...

[boreal river]

@copper gust Hey! You are very rude bro

[worldly cave]

well ok

[storm patio]

and multiple answers have been given

[worldly cave]

most people arent lol

[copper gust]

then read !

[worldly cave]

there are some studios dedicated to it like synty

[storm patio]

pay attention to the people trying to help you

[copper gust]

when you ask for help

read it !

or go away

[candid trout]

yeaa but it can be used to cover my school expenses??

[storm patio]

probably not

[worldly cave]

there are far better ways to do that

like actual work

[stuck flower]

Most actual jobs won't cover school expenses

[copper gust]

like it's insane

[candid trout]

suggest something that can be done on computer

[storm patio]

crypto scamming script kiddies, ig

[magic flume]

That must be so boring. it's like a missed opportunity making animations and assets you would never get to develop

[viscid raft]

What kind of answer do you actually expect here?

[candid trout]

yea but aleast i can help my parents

[copper gust]

most jobs are boring, a lot of people enjoy that kinda work

[storm patio]

uh hey how old are you?

[boreal river]

I wasn't even talking about this issue XD

[candid trout]

18

[storm patio]

it feels like you don't really have a grasp on the scale of employment lol

[boreal river]

I have figure it out

[stuck flower]

Taking on thousands of dollars of student loan debt and paying it off over the next fifty years or the total collapse of society, whichever comes first

[copper gust]

im not trying to be rude but is there a language translation thing going on here?

[candid trout]

nah i dont want any loans on me

[storm patio]

do tell what other issue you magically were referring to and expected everyone else to understand

[boreal river]

I think I have to take a break because I am in front of my PC right now for 8-10 hours I cant think

[copper gust]

Plenty of people want to help you but any discussion with you ends up with you responding with these weird complete voids in communication

[storm patio]

you really gotta figure out how to communicate properly

[magic flume]

Well might not be boring but don't you ever feel the urge to develop a project with your assets? if you are a professional you must know at least how animations and transitions work

[boreal river]

I have made a lot of progress but

[worldly cave]

whats stopping them from using their own assets?

lol

like im sure if the synty guys decided to actually make games they would use their assets

[gray frigate]

this makes it incredibly hard to do work, yes

[candid trout]

have u tried putting any of your assets on epic or any other platform?

[magic flume]

That is my point - To be a good asset creator you should at least have some level of experience with developing

[worldly cave]

i dont make assets

[worldly cave]

thats almost a given yes

[copper gust]

and people may act or may not act on those urges. people have bills to pay, making assets for some people is a way of doing that

[charred fog]

Do you have a Unity related question?

[gray frigate]

indeed!

you need to know how the assets are going to get used

[boreal river]

Then I really would like to make a suggestion to Unity Staff. Why don't you create Voice Channels for people to be able to Join and get help straightforward, some people can't follow very well just by chatting. Why not, because I have noticed on Unreal Engine server they do have voice channels for help. Personally, I am one of the people that can't follow very well only by chatting and always trying to record my screen, takign screenshots and so on and wasting so much time. I could easily share my screen and talk with a volunteer.

[copper gust]

we've had this discussion before

not worth replying to

[charred fog]

Pretty sure you've already been directed to this #1180178376028327936

[magic flume]

I have certain tiles i put a tilemap collider 2D on, how can i change the collider size and shape?

[gray frigate]

i half-remember how to do this...

i remember tiles having the option to use the sprite itself for the collider, or to just use a square

[magic flume]

then half explain it to me

[lavish laurel]

is it possible to fix this
Assets\Scripts\GameScript.cs(7,24): error CS1021: Integral constant is too large

using System.Collections;

@everyone if someone knows the fix please don't use ai

[gray frigate]

it was a setting on the Tile asset

please do not attempt to ping the entire server

[near wigeon]

you cant really resize them, you can change the physics shape per tile or use the collidermode on the tilemap collider

[charred fog]

Physical shape should direct the shape of the tile
