[inland apex]

How do I go back a save?

Like redoing a save

[latent meadow]

i do not think it is doing incremental saves, unless you manually do it. so, not sure you can

[inland apex]

Ik

But I saved sum test stuff and I need to go back

[latent meadow]

that is what source control is for

[inland apex]

What is source control

[latent meadow]

ask google

[slow dirge]

Saved how? Where?

[inland apex]

Huh

Idk control S

you should perhaps look into #🕹️┃game-jams , but as far as finding people to work with outside of that, you'll need to use the forums

hello there i am not sure if theres a specific channel for this as i didnt see any but im doing one the tutuorial games and im doing the tank one but the levels are all just bright pink unlike what it says it should look like im pretty sure i did everything right i can provide an image if needed just not exactly sure how to fix it

[latent meadow]

generally a pipeline issue.
https://unity.huh.how/shaders/errors

[empty hamlet]

oh ok thank you very much

[latent meadow]

i clicked in a step futher than needed. might have been clearer if i sent you here, https://unity.huh.how/materials ,so you could see how it says 'pink materials', but that is where that link goes to.

if it still does not make sense after that write up, just ask again

[empty hamlet]

ok thank you i will probably be back because im very new to unity

[latent meadow]

yw, no worries, that particular error got us all at one point. 🙂

[empty hamlet]

ok so im stupid uh which option would a tutorial build be? i mean the one that you sent originally not familiar with the terms sorry to be a bother

this to be specifc

[latent meadow]

was it a full project you downloaded, or did they have you add to a project you made new?

[empty hamlet]

tt made me make a new project and download assets

so the second one

[latent meadow]

ok, when you made the new project, did you select URP?

[empty hamlet]

i didnt have to change anything it was just the universal 3d thast they told me to set it to

[latent meadow]

"1. Create a new project

From the Unity Hub, create a new project named “Tanks” using the Universal 3D template on any version of Unity 6. "

ok, that should have worked then.. what Unity version?

[empty hamlet]

6000.3.7

i beleive its the current one

oh wait srry

thats editor

6.3 i beleive it says

6.3 lts

[latent meadow]

can you show a screenshot of this

[empty hamlet]

yeah sure just gfimme 2 secs to get there

this is what there was it told me to delete a couple files i the beggining except for the tank asstes

not sure oif yhats what u need

[latent meadow]

i need to see the contents of the Settings folder

this stuff is what i am looking for

[empty hamlet]

think i found it

settings has nothing to the right when i click on it so this was the only similar files i could find in it

[latent meadow]

ok, so we know for sure you are on URP. now, this is kind of an odd way they did this one. it Is a full project, but they want you to import Over your existing project you made. in this scenario, you have to make sure you say yet to both importing the assets, and letting it override the settings. do you recall doing that?

[empty hamlet]

i beleive so

[latent meadow]

ok, one minute. let me actually do it myself, to see if i see something odd

[empty hamlet]

ok thank you again sorry

[latent meadow]

yw., and it was this cversion you used?

[empty hamlet]

yes

[latent meadow]

ok

when this came up, what did you do?

[empty hamlet]

i beleive i did import like it says

i may have read the instructions wrong tho

[latent meadow]

when i get a minute, i will fill out a bug report but @ laki02215 just discovered a Severe issue in the Tanks tutorial
https://learn.unity.com/course/tanks-make-a-battle-game-for-web-and-mobile/tutorial/scene-setup?version=6.3#67e66c36edbc2a04f61325fa
They literally have the user delete all folders, including Settings. 🤦‍♂️ this is shown in both text and video.
in the next step, everything works for them, because, as seen in the video, they (the instructor) have all the folders they just deleted back. terrible thing to do to a new user

[upper oracle]

why is sprite shape so cursed brooo

for some reason my sprite shape and everything above it appears above my canvases in screenspace camera

[jade orbit]

Is there anywhere else to ask about a networking issue besides making a post about it?
Its a small questiong

[latent meadow]

not really. that is the place to ask. may take time to get a response, or it may take seconds. hard to tell

if you look at the general thread though, it is a live chat room, like this

[vivid cedar]

if they're closer to the camera than the plane distance of the UI then they will appear in front of it.

[upper oracle]

I know 😭😭 that's what I tried first... It doesn't rly matter i like figuring It out myself... But I just wanted to say the damn sprite shape object is always so cursed, no matter what I do with it it takes 150% more time then anything else

[heady gorge]

truly a great feeling to be working on a game, take a two week break to focus on assignments, and then have no clue what it is i was working on because my notes didnt explicitly say what i changed, just the bug and my intended solution

[upper oracle]

Kekekekeke

Enjoy exploring your own game and assets i guess

[heady gorge]

even more distressing that its giving me the expected results but i didnt write that i solved the bug, just that i intended too 😭

[upper oracle]

At least you have notes

I don't keep those

@pastel onyx #1180170818983051344

[pastel onyx]

yeah sorry

[fiery tide]

Anyone here familiar with the Unity CVE-2025-59489 Patcher Tool?

[next imp]

Obviously second one ?

[next imp]

Nope

[pastel onyx]

I kinda meant what gave more PS1 vibe?

[next imp]

Ah

I never had a ps1 so idk

[fiery tide]

The shadow on the first one with the right cube looks wrong

[pastel onyx]

Oh yeah

It's floating actually

I was testing some moon physics

[next imp]

°-°

[fiery tide]

None look like 320x240

[pastel onyx]

I'm making it just "Like a PS1 game"

It would still have modern lighting and wide screen

PS1.5 style i would say

[charred fog]

@pastel onyx You were already pointed to #1180170818983051344

[fiery tide]

Even with it floating, it looks like the light source is coming from the lower right of the screen but then the shadow still has a bottom line that continues straight off the actual cube as if the light source must be directly right

[pastel onyx]

Ok man

I'll shift it there

[pastel onyx]

Yeah the lights are messed up

[fiery tide]

Anyone know if there is a CVE-2025-59489 scanner tool to scan a directory of multiple games? Instead of the patcher tool in which each unity exe must be manually selected

Like is there an easy way to check all of my downloaded Steam or GOG games all at once to see if they need to be patched?

Or has Unity made public the hash values for all the unpatched exes so I can make my own scanner tool?

[sly lake]

Steam had mitigated the issue within a day by disabling URL launches for affected games

Idk if GoG even has that feature

But being able to launch the game from a URL is what turns it into an RCE exploit

[storm patio]

!collab , i guess?

Guys is there actually a big difference in graphics between unity 6 and unreal engine 5?

[charred fog]

[neat stream]

Sorry im new on this server

[boreal river]

They are both tools that can be used to create 2D, 3D or even Mobile games. There isn't good or bad. There is what best suits to your needs. Unreal Engine is not recommend for beginners though, because of its advanced systems complexity like Visual Scripting with Nodes/blueprints, C++ and other more advanced features it has.

[neat stream]

Thanks

[boreal river]

@neat stream What bothers you?

Do you want to choose a Game Engine to start working on a game you have in mind?

[charred fog]

@boreal river They were directed to the corrected channel, don't spillout off-topic here.

[exotic turret]

Guys is there a way to increase the rotation angle of a door with hinge on the extreme?

Throught script

[charred fog]

If you need extended parameters there's also Configurable Joint

[exotic turret]

With a script, not manually

[charred fog]

All component are assessable through scripting. I'm just not familiar with particular component limits if they exist.

Check the manual

[exotic turret]

I want to know if there is a way to get the rotation angle of an item

[abstract umbra]

what does that even mean? assuming youre not talking about reading transform.rotation

[storm patio]

it kinda seems to me like you would save that state yourself

[charred fog]

The angle property is exposed. Just have to lookup properties in the manual.

[gray frigate]

are you looking for the rotation around a certain axis, perhaps?

tell us a little more about what you're doing

rotation can be remarkably annoying

[solid yew]

Waiting for my shader variants to compile again 🙃

Looks like it might take under 30 minutes this time, yay

The best part is that it slows down my entire PC to a complete halt

[balmy kettle]

if you don't mind it taking longer you can always change the priority and affinity for the process so that you can still use your pc for other things

[solid yew]

Yeah... The thing is I need frequent builds for optimization testing unfortunately

[balmy kettle]

unless you change anything related to the render pipeline (like updating the editor/pipeline package) or add assets then subsequent builds shouldn't take too long to compile shaders as there will be far fewer unless you do a clean build

[solid yew]

I was working on some shader stuff among other things

And my shaders are quite interconnected so a change in one means a lot of recompilation

I really need to look into optimizing this

[pliant falcon]

hey guys, I need some help, could somebody please tell me how to make 3d outline for objects? I've tried lots of guides on youtube, but most of them are unity version below 6th or it's indistinguishable monotone mumbling 20 minutes long... I definetly need help lol

[near wigeon]

get a shader that does it. Done

the only thing that would need to be checked for compatibility is not unity version but if its URP, HDRP or BIRP you need shader for

eg . If you're using URP .
literally " URP Outline shader" you will get tons of results, most of them free on github / assetstore

[gray frigate]

e.g. https://github.com/Robinseibold/Unity-URP-Outlines

this is a renderer feature; it's a little more than just a single shader

[coarse shore]

This is more of a question for those who used Unreal Engine. I am trying to export all the asset packs I've obtained, so that I can use them in unity. Has anyone done it before? If so, any script would be helpful as I don't want to manually shift through 20k assets.

[gray frigate]

export from where?

note that if you have .uasset files, those aren't going to be usable in Unity

(you should also check the license terms; i'm pretty sure some assets are only allowed to be used in the Unreal engine)

[exotic turret]

The rotation of a rectangular sprite around an hinge on the outest side

Basically this: O---

From this O---- to this
|
|
O

[gray frigate]

This is a great place to use Vector3.SignedAngle

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.SignedAngle.html

or, actually, since this is 2D, you could also use https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector2.SignedAngle.html

the only difference is that the 2D version doesn't need the 'up vector'

since it's, implicitly, a vector pointing into the screen

you can only rotate in one way in 2D!

This gives you the angle between two vectors, and it can give both positive and negative values

so, if the door normally points in the Vector2.right direction, Vector2.SignedAngle(Vector2.right, transform.right) tells you the angle of the door

[coarse shore]

from your unreal asset library @gray frigate

all are standard licenses, meaning they allow for use outside of unreal

[exotic turret]

Wait guys, what should i use? Rotatearound, hinges or other?

[hexed moat]

Hi 👋 guys

[ebon rivet]

i made this portal shader in code in feedback ??

[violet thunder]

What makes it a portal shader? 🤔

[agile abyss]

Integrated PhysX 5.6.1 and Nvidia Flow into unity, have previously done mega geometry but plan on redoing that implementation including blast

[ebon rivet]

made in shader code

[ebon rivet]

that is actually pretty cool

[agile abyss]

Whenever im done with the implementations im gonna put them on the unity asset store for a dollar 👍

[abstract umbra]

i made doors rotation in my game around a hinge and im happy about it, had never ever to go back to fix anything

[gray frigate]

are you talking about how to make the door move here?

[odd quarry]

hello i m new to unity would anyone be able to help me out a bit and show me around i did watch some videos but i cant understand it it would be nice if i could talk with smbd about it

if you prefer reading, the Manual does a great job of explaining some big engine ideas (i wish i'd read it back when i started!)

[hexed moat]

Bro what game are you trying to make?

[agile abyss]

Are you asking for feedback?

[ebon rivet]

portal shader

[ebon rivet]

yes

[hexed moat]

Why?

[ebon rivet]

wdym

[hexed moat]

I mean why are you making portal shader

[agile abyss]

For if its your first time its perfectly fine, but entirely depends on your goal and what your trying to accomplish art wise. If your trying to get a more realistic portal you can watch sabastians lagues thing on creating portals, pretty informative.

[agile abyss]

Most likely just cause

[ebon rivet]

i am making it for my very sigma game

            return OUT;
        }

        float edgeWidth = fwidth(dist); 
        float circle = smoothstep(0.5, 0.5 - edgeWidth * 2.0, dist);

        float4 color = lerp(_OuterColor, _InnerColor, circle);

        color.a = circle;

        return color;
    }
        ENDHLSL

}

} this is the script

[hexed moat]

What game can you tell me something about your game

[ebon rivet]

you trapped in a dimesnion with a weird weapon called the card invoker and you need to collect 10 cards from 10 dimensions and they give you abilites and you need to escape

[hexed moat]

Good are you launching it on mobile or PC ?

[agile abyss]

I would advise to just use unity shader graph and write custom function nodes as you need them, it would save you a lot of time but if your trying to learn purely shader code then all the power to you

[hexed moat]

Bro are you a expert in unity?

[agile abyss]

Been using it for 7 years so i guess

[hexed moat]

bro that's good can you help me I'm new I just downloaded unity like 2 to 3 days if you can't help then I go find another way

[ebon rivet]

pc

[agile abyss]

Yeah wsp

[ebon rivet]

alr

i was godot user

i switched

[agile abyss]

I would use URP if your not already, really no reason to use the SRP

[ebon rivet]

ngl i used chatgpt for this shader code

i am trash at making shaders

[hexed moat]

Bro when you are making your game pls make it realistic ok and make the game very very very optimized ok

[ebon rivet]

i am not a gta 6 dev bro

[hexed moat]

try your best that's it

[ebon rivet]

alr

[agile abyss]

Nothing wrong with using AI sometimes but if you do only use it when you get really stuck and make sure to study what it makes so you understand what its given you and itll be easier to pick up its mistakes aswell

[ebon rivet]

i code everything my own instead of shaders

only shader i use ai

[hexed moat]

Bro I recommend make everything by your own it's much better and optimized ai is not good

[agile abyss]

Thats completely fair tbh

[solid yew]

have you tried using shader graph?

[gray frigate]

i'm guessing this shader is intended to be displayed on a quad, not on a sphere

[ebon rivet]

the problem i keep frogetting player movement so i have to cehck the tutorial again

[agile abyss]

I will say one thing though AI is very bad at making shaders

[solid yew]

yup.

[hexed moat]

I saw a lot of video making games using ai and the results were not that good

[solid yew]

I can't write shaders but I use shader graph so it works out fine

[gray frigate]

the Shader Graph is a great way to get into shader authoring, yes

[ebon rivet]

ik i just use ai for shaders because i laready wastem my life learned unity

[agile abyss]

The only time AI will ever actually be useful in making shaders are small custom function nodes for specific uses

[gray frigate]

it lets you skip over a lot of the magical incantations you need in ShaderLab and HLSL

[agile abyss]

anything beyond that is just a negetive half the time

[hexed moat]

how many years?

[storm patio]

you say that as if code isn't entirely magical incantations

[gray frigate]

you need some serious incantations

[ebon rivet]

3 years of unity

[hexed moat]

How old are you?

[ebon rivet]

i think it is agianst the rules of asking age just be careful

[solid yew]

there is no way to have wasted your life by learning unity for 3 years

[hexed moat]

why it's not bad asking age

[ebon rivet]

lol

[ebon rivet]

idk because it is a dev server

[solid yew]

I've been learning unity for about 8 years I think

[hexed moat]

Can you tell me in dm ?

[flat breach]

Why is it a waste of time ?

[agile abyss]

Oh yeah what did you need help with

[solid yew]

It isn't...

[ebon rivet]

i am not comfortable telling people

[hexed moat]

I send you friend request accept and when i need help I tell you

[hexed moat]

Why bro what's wrong about telling age

[balmy kettle]

this isn't a chit chat space, let's keep things on topic

[ebon rivet]

why you want to know so bad ?

[hexed moat]

Just curious

[hasty lance]

hello guys, can anyone kindly show me how do i get the project from my friend who added me into the organization? I can see the project she added from the repository option when i click add, but when i open the said project it shows nothing and nothing at all. Is she not properly sharing the project folder or do i have to install all the resources she is using ?

[worldly cave]

this is very weird

dont do this

[worldly cave]

when you opened the project

[hexed moat]

What am I that bad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[worldly cave]

did you also open the scene they are working in?

[balmy kettle]

you need to open the scene

[worldly cave]

dont pester people for personal information they clearly told you they are not comfortable giving you

and especially dont ask them to dm you said information

it is very fucking weird

[hasty lance]

alright, let me try that. Thanks guys

[hexed moat]

Ok bro just don't use swear words again

[worldly cave]

I need to start a counter for this exact scenario

since its happened about 30 times now

[hasty lance]

is this the one ?

[balmy kettle]

you have no scene open at the moment, but there's also barely anything within the assets folder. are you certain your friend actually pushed their changes using unity version control?

[ebon rivet]

thx bro

can someone explain what is scriptable object ??

[storm patio]

have you tried looking it up? the unity manual already has an explanation

[worn helm]

hello guys im new

but i think i can be get better

[agile abyss]

A scriptable object is like a Prefab but for code, you can make for instance a script that derrives from scriptable object that can define things in a group and can be broken down into smaller groups for example its really great for items, you can create a base item scriptableobject, this you can use to just define what is global about all your items in your game like a name, item id, rarity ect, then you can create another script that derrives from item allowing you to be more detailed like for instance a weapon, here you can define things that only pertain to a weapon that would'nt pertain to anything else, like consumables. By doing this you essentially can take what would be multiple scripts and pack it down into just a few and create all your items you need from those scriptable object - Hint when you want to use them make sure to Instantiate them first cause if you dont and you change the main scriptable object it will apply globally across everyone using it, and they do not revert after unplaying.

[latent meadow]

well, things like using it to hold coordinates do revert, unless they have changed that..

[gray frigate]

ScriptableObject lets you create new kinds of Unity objects

that's it!

Unity objects can be stored as assets and referenced elsewhere

a ScriptableObject is much like a Material

you can look at it in the Project window, and you can assign a reference to it

[gray frigate]

modifying assets at runtime will generally lead you down a path of despair and confusion

[latent meadow]

so, So many arguments about that 😅 it caused a big uproar a couple years back. yes, that is true

[gray frigate]

all you have to do is to segregate serialized data (keep it immutable) from non-serialized data (go nuts)

I use SOs for my game's settings. Each SO asset stores information like:

• What is the name of this setting?
• What is the unique ID for this setting? (it's a GUID)
• What are the range limits? (for a float setting)
• What is the default value?

The type ALSO has a non-serialized field that stores the current value

When the game starts, I read the settings file and assign values

I have an extremely similar system used for per-entity configuration

in that case, the SO does not store the value; it's used as a key in a dictionary that stores the values

(in hindsight, I could've just made a singleton dictionary for "settings" and not wound up with two completely separate systems)

ah well.

[latent meadow]

@ebon rivet don't miss this ^

[gray frigate]

The most common use-case for SOs is for when you need to let multiple things (e.g. different prefabs) share some common data.

I also like to use them to replace enums

so I'll have a Currency SO type, for example

instead of

public enum Currency {
  Cash,
  SuperCredits
}

I will have two assets: one called "Cash" and one called "SuperCredits"

The cool part is that you can store data in those assets, like the name, the text color, the icon, etc.

[runic knot]

Is there a self promo

[gray frigate]

here's one of my settings; it's an accessibility option that improves your vision in dark places

[latent meadow]

no. you can make a #1180170818983051344 though

[gray frigate]

( the "precision" field is vestigial; i need to delete it )

I wound up implementing a similar system for my VRChat worlds

since you can't create your own asset types, I just use objects in the world instead of assets

obviously, this would suck if I had more than one scene

but that's not possible anyway :p

I have code that can construct a settings menu out of a list of "settings objects"

[latent meadow]

to clarify, not possible in VRChat. totally normal in Unity itself

[gray frigate]

yeag

[viral wave]

everytime I write or update a script, unity refuses to recognize it until it randomly does with no input from me at all, can you guys identify whats happening or whats wrong? is this just a gimmick of the engine?

[agile abyss]

Had to add wind support to Nv Flow, im going to bed now im cooked

[worldly cave]

looks great, but use #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344 to showcase stuff

[agile abyss]

Mb ill remember that next time

[digital schooner]

Help! My little guy won't move. I put the script on capsule 2d with a rigidbody as well as a capsule 2d collider. Ignore any unused variables sitting around at the beginning of the code.

[agile abyss]

you never actually use forceToApplyVertMult or forceToApplyHorizMult you just calculating them, your force is calling directly to forceToApplyVert and forceToApplyHoriz instead there lad

[digital schooner]

oh

wait

[agile abyss]

Btw your if check also only works in a positive direction too you will have to fix that also

[digital schooner]

which one

[agile abyss]

if (velocityVert < targetVelocityVert)

you just use Mathf.Abs to fix it so it works in both directions

[digital schooner]

oh right.

yeah

thanks

[agile abyss]

yup yup

[digital schooner]

my capsule still wont move

i dont understand what's wrong

[agile abyss]

Do you have your inputs setup correctly cause unity defaults to the new input system you have to manually switch it to support legacy and new or just legacy

[digital schooner]

i put debug.logs in there. it does respond to inputs.

says w when i press w etc

[agile abyss]

I don’t remember if it still outputs to a debug I would just double check your input preferences and make sure you also have a event system in your scene too

[digital schooner]

https://paste.myst.rs/dje6ztou
made a new paste

[digital schooner]

sure i can do that

it's set to both

input preferencs are equal in the code

the problem is that it just doesn't execute the rb.addforce

[agile abyss]

I’m tripping I didn’t realize your using the new input system type

Weird seeing it setup like that

[digital schooner]

im tripping as well dude ive been writing this code for way too long

see i cant even type correctly anymore

[agile abyss]

You never set your forceToApplyVert or horz

So there just 0

[digital schooner]

yeahhh

but thats no problem

i just created then and didnt end up using them

imagine theyre just gone

i just removed them

wait

WAIT

[agile abyss]

Yup

[digital schooner]

IT IS A PROBLEM

OH

[agile abyss]

You were multiplying by 0

[digital schooner]

OHHHHHHHHHH

HAHAHAHHA

I COUDLNT EB HAPPIER

THAN YO

THANK YOU

[agile abyss]

👍

[storm patio]

btw you're checking a magnitude against a direction

on line 80

and 113

think about what those checks end up doing when you go down/left

might want to make them both magnitudes?

[agile abyss]

if (Mathf.Abs(velocityVert) < Mathf.Abs(targetVelocityVert))

[digital schooner]

might have underestimated how much force I'm adding

thing went flying

it for some reason goes in the wrong direction when i press d

wtf

it goes in the same direction no matter what i press

helll nah

OH WAIT

i got it

[ebon rivet]

thx

[exotic turret]

Guys im trying to create doors with hinges on the extreme side. If u collide with these doors AND player's velocity is greater or equal to the speed required from the door to be opened, they will open by 90 degrees. The second condition is the most important. Just like doors in supermario bros in the sewers:

Im finding difficolties, for this reason i need help

[worldly cave]

we have to know what isnt working to actually help you

also dont crosspost

[exotic turret]

Im having troubles with the rotation of the door. Is there a way to add 90 degrees in a smooth way once the player touch the colllider? Such as an animation but not an animation. And i would like the door to stay freezed once it reach the maximum opening (90 degrees)

And for scripting what yall use because I can mod but I dont think this is the same

[worldly cave]

what

what do you mean what we use for scripting?

like what ide?

[quiet goblet]

Yeah do you do it yourself or do you do something else

[worldly cave]

i am incredibly confused

youre not making a lot of sense lol

[quiet goblet]

Yeah like for scripting things do you script it yourself or use something else or maybe ai

[worldly cave]

well if you want to make a game youre going to have to do it yourself

[quiet goblet]

And I’m not english so if it is bad sorry

Then I have to watch tutorials

I can't seem to find the Gizmos button in Unity 6.4. Little help, anyone? I'm about to lose my mind.

[abstract umbra]

screenshot?

[honest sable]

There's not a single thing that says "Gizmos" anywhere.

[abstract umbra]

and you tried making the scene window larger ?

[honest sable]

It's not visible when maximized, either.

[abstract umbra]

right click on the scene tab -> overlays -> overlays menu. View options checked ?

[agile abyss]

It doesnt say gizmos

[agile abyss]

its this button

[honest sable]

I'm afraid that's not there either.

[balmy kettle]

you have the view options overlay turned off

[balmy kettle]

fun fact: the overlays menu is visible in their screenshot

[abstract umbra]

uhh, i still dont see it, can you show it?

The ones in the asset store can be a mixed bag. But it's not uncommon to buy a pack or three, and add to it (make some of your own) for your game.

[gusty abyss]

does Probuilder have like a Union tool?

a tool to let you carve objects out of other objects would help a ton for hallways

[latent meadow]

Perhaps ask #🛠️┃probuilder about Boolean tools. I am not sure if it does, as i use other means

[lapis gate]

probuilder is pretty basic so nah

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/realtime-csg-69542
ya probably looking for some csg workflow

(better to just use blender tools tho)

[azure grove]

stuff like that CSG solution has very limited platform support as well

would just learn to do stuff in blender

[thorny dragon]

Is the Networking forums exclusively for NetCodeForX? (Entities/GameObjects). or is it also a valid place to put a MultiplayerHLAPI question?

I know that HLAPI is hella deprecated, regrettably i'm working on a project that's stuck on 2021.3 and cannot move to NetCode for reasons i cannot disclose.

[empty hamlet]

hello im having trouble with the unity tank game tutorial again ive done what it says to do and added the movement script but the tank isnt moving i mightve missed smth but im not sure how to fix it i went back a coupkle steps and i beleive i did everything right

[agile abyss]

That can depend on how the tutorial is setup, does it use the old input system style or the new input system style

[waxen crescent]

hey does anyone else get a buzzing sound when playtesting on unity. I'm a bit confused as I've put an FPS limiter in the game, Vsync on the game window, every V blank on interaction mode in unity, and my PC still makes coil whine, though these settings do mitigate it, I can still notice its presence. It's only when I play the game IN the editor

[agile abyss]

Cap the Editors target frame rate

[agile abyss]

Application.targetFrameRate = 60;

[waxen crescent]

i am already doing that which is the weird thing

oh wait nvm i think i got it to stop

[agile abyss]

I think if you just close the scene view while play testing it should stop it also, but honestly its a really weird bug very much hardware dependent

[empty hamlet]

oh sorry i just now saqw your response im confused on what u mean by that? sorry im a little dumb

[agile abyss]

So the old input system is something like Input.Keycode, while the new one uses action maps or Keyboard.sKey

[empty hamlet]

oh you mean in the script for the moevement? sorry i have no idea what those terms mean so im not sure where to see that

[agile abyss]

Yeah so how is the tutorial handling input reading

you can even link it real quick and i could tell you

[empty hamlet]

i mean it just tells me to put a script already part of assets it told me to download into a object

ok yeah ill send the tutporial link thingy

https://learn.unity.com/course/tanks-make-a-battle-game-for-web-and-mobile

the step in which it tells me to download the script is tank control 4

sorry if that isntr what u need

[agile abyss]

could you open the tank movement script and dm me the code so we dont cludder the talk section

[empty hamlet]

ye sure

what year is it

[sleek yoke]

what is it about breath of the wild that looks better to me than any other game yet isn’t even that graphically intensive and HOW do u replicate that feeling does anyone have a clue how they did that

[heady gorge]

Okay basically what i'm trying to figure out is if there is a way for this object to interact with light in the area? To note, this is a 2D sprite and it exists in the 3D world. Its not a UI item. Rn its just attached to tha player's camera because I want it in their sight (for the duration that they'll have it active)

But as you can see, the red point light has an actual effect on the walls and the orbs, but not really on the "polaroid" unless im basically glitched into it, which isnt really useful. i want it to functionally work with shadows and light.

[latent meadow]

you should talk to #1390346776804069396

[heady gorge]

dang i was hoping it wasnt that area
thanks

idk if im even going about this in a silly way but we'll find out

[near wigeon]

talent

[sleek yoke]

in what

[slow dirge]

I think this question is very subjective. Some people might not find it as attractive as you or it would be based on different reasons. The best you can do is ask yourself what you like about it and how it's different from other games. Make your feelings more specific and you might be able to answer that question yourself

[latent meadow]

i, for one, cannot stand the art style. the cell shading all blurs together for me.

[granite lava]

What happens if you compile a project and it finds Errors on the fly?

[latent meadow]

... perhaps share the errors,.

[granite lava]

Well I haven't tried it yet

I'm just curious because I'm working on something and I'll be making a build in a few days probably, so I'm not sure what to expect

[oak meadow]

i think your project compiles every time you change your code

[agile abyss]

My bad ill keep that in mind next time

[granite lava]

That's not what I meant

I mean when you compile the game into an executable and you run it

You are playing and somehow a reference ends up null or something

In the editor you get a red error in the console

What if I'm running an executable though?

[craggy pollen]

in the first place this should not be happening in your game. but my guess is that the game would simply keep runnning but not working as it should

i am excluding a complete crash but that is just an assumption

[wary adder]

does it cost to have someone build a world

[copper gust]

It costs to have anyone do anything

[past gate]

is this project have copyright or somthing? i mean if i edit and publish it in somewhere will be problem?

[storm patio]

all creative endeavors have copyright

see if there's a license there or smth

but, for that one, unless you're selling it you probably won't have issues

[past gate]

and if i will?

just edit it without publish?

[latent meadow]

you have two real options. Contact Unity and ask them to state cleary that you can. or, talk directly to a lawyer.

[sweet tartan]

assuming it's https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/unity-learn-fps-microgame-urp-156015
https://unity.com/legal/as-terms
distributing it likely a violation of 2.2.a
selling it violation of 2.2.1.1d

you'd need to make "substantial changes"

[storm patio]

2.2.1.1d is referring to the asset itself, not a project using the asset

[past gate]

like what?

[sweet tartan]

you're mistaken, the license to use the asset is granted under those conditions

[storm patio]

mmm that's a 15 year long court case

[storm patio]

yes, and 2.2.1.1d refers to doing stuff with the asset itself, not a project using the asset

[past gate]

im confused

[sweet tartan]

without substantial changes, how is it not a derivative work?

[past gate]

now if i complete the map and add somethings in the game will be problem?

[storm patio]

Without limiting the foregoing, END-USER may not, and has no right to,
(d) use, [...], copy, modify, adapt, [...], distribute, [...], sell, or otherwise commercialize or monetize any Asset except as expressly permitted in this EULA,

[sweet tartan]

yes, but the "asset" in this case is an entire project itself

[past gate]

i think i just need the logic of character and weapon

[past gate]

oh

[storm patio]

you can have a project that includes this asset and other original content

and if that's substantial, you could sell it

[sweet tartan]

but that's what I said, I think we're already in agreement

[past gate]

[storm patio]

i understood Gnour to be asking about a project that uses the asset
in that case, the part about selling in 2.2.1.1d isn't relevant

[past gate]

should i ask someone else ?

:/

[storm patio]

a lawyer, if you want to be sure

[past gate]

i mean like unity support or something?

[storm patio]

if there are lawyers there

you don't have any money for them to sue for anyways

[sweet tartan]

realistically if you have to ask Unity if you made enough changes, you probably didn't. Probably nothing will happen, if people recognize it they'll call it slop/asset flip and you won't have any downloads or sales anyway

[past gate]

yeah but info for future

[storm patio]

read licenses/agreements, and if you're dealing with business stuff get a lawyer

2.2.1.1d basically just says "you can't do anything unless we explicitly allow it"

[merry flax]

so if i just uploaded my game to itch io where can i advertise it

[storm patio]

you can write a #1180170818983051344, but it's not really for advertising

[thin rover]

i cant download 6.3, i tried to redo it 3 times alredy but ditor application keeps failing

[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.

[thin rover]

im installing it on D:

[latent meadow]

it will still require room on c. ow much room do you have on c

and, what did the logs say?

[thin rover]

like 300 bytes

[latent meadow]

yeah, that is not going to work then.

[storm patio]

dude you're gonna brick your drive lmao

clear some space

please tell me it's actually like 300mb

[latent meadow]

you really are running at the failure point if you really only have 300bytes left.

[sudden shard]

Would it be okay if I shared a course link here and asked if there are similar courses available? I’m not trying to promote it—I’m just having a hard time finding courses this detailed on Google. I thought maybe someone here might know similar ones, so I wanted to share it for that purpose.

[frosty pilot]

bits

[stone bolt]

Anyone a VR dev here?

[latent meadow]

if it is a free course that you did not make, go ahead. if you Did make it, and want to just share it, try #1179447338188673034 , again, must be free

[sudden shard]

I’m thinking of sharing a course that hasn’t been released yet and is paid. I only want to ask if anyone knows where I can find similar professional courses with this level of detail. In this case, would it be better not to share it?

[storm patio]

dude would not be able to use discord at that point 😆

[latent meadow]

yes, that is not something to share here. if you have a question about tutorials on particular subject matter, you can ask about that

[sudden shard]

ok

[lapis gate]

if it's not released yet how are you going to compare it

[sudden shard]

just dm it ill look

probably the millionth person to ask - is there a help channel? i cant seem to find one, if there is

coding goes in #💻┃code-beginner, if it's more editor specific then this channel

[latent meadow]

... they are All help channels. #🔎┃find-a-channel

^ but yeah beyond that i'd find specifics

[hardy kraken]

my bad, let me clarify. is there one just for generic crashing? cant even get into unity editor at all rn 🙁

[latent meadow]

this room then

[hardy kraken]

sick lets give it a go then - i installed unity, opened a blank project, worked fine. then i deleted that folder cause i was like "well ima start fresh lets delete this old one" NOW unity wont open anymore. it crashes, opens a bug report

i tried re-installing too. thought that would help but no luck, still crashing

[latent meadow]

what error is it giving?

[hardy kraken]

one moment, ill do it again. i closed it on accident

What's the best way to learn unity best practices at a higher level. I'm a professional software engineer and the tutorials are geared towards people with no development experience. And like I want the fundamentals but the tone of intro level programming videos is a bit frustating.

[latent meadow]

oh, one question, you are not putting the project in a folder that is controlled by OneDrive, are you?

[hardy kraken]

nope, dont think so. just my C drive

[hardy kraken]

currently running through these now, tysm

[latent meadow]

https://unity.com/resources?type=e-book

[hardy kraken]

Ok so it had me delete contents of a folder, and it kinda "restarted" my Hub

should i just go ahead and do this instead of trying to DIY a new project

[latent meadow]

only if you want to. that is just a basic tutorial project. you can do, or skip

[hardy kraken]

makin a new one now, here goes

are there different versions for the editor? i have a feeling there might have been a mismatch.

[latent meadow]

yes, there are several, but what do you mean?

[hardy kraken]

like the edior didnt match the project

also, same issue heres a screenshot of what happened before it crashed

[latent meadow]

it generally just lets you update, but i suggest, for the most stable experience, using unity 6000.0.72, or 73 if they just updated. i know 6.4 was 'recommended' but it is essentially a beta

it will attempt to default to 6.4 unless you uninstall it, or manually switch projects

[thin rover]

also how much should i have free on c?

[hardy kraken]

ok, goin with that now.

[latent meadow]

ok, it is almost 5:30am here. i need to rest. good luck. just ask the room if you need anything

[hardy kraken]

heck yeah, vampire time. its 730 for me!

tysm!

fingers crossed - here goes

hacker voice IM IN. looks all good, no crashing!

sick im so glad that was quick

[storm patio]

[sacred moon]

How much storage does unity take every update??

[analog crane]

Is the addressable system fully C# based or mixed with the C++ part of the engine?

[storm patio]

as much as it did the first time
unity editors don't really update, there's just another editor build of a newer version

[fiery needle]

Hey guys, I'm looking into engine customization and I want to avoid all that 'generic function' bloatware that eats up performance and space. What’s the best way to strip down an engine to only the features I actually need?

[slow dirge]

Disable all the packages that you don't need.

I think 6.4 even allows stripping core packages like physics.

[fiery needle]

@slow dirge
but is there any way to obtain licenses for the graphics engine's source code?

I think it must be something extremely expensive and rigid

[slow dirge]

Scriptable render pipelines are highly customizable. You can even write your own. Only the low level near graphics api stuff is on the C++ close sourced side.

[slow dirge]

I wouldn't say so.

[humble kayak]

hello

With enterprise license you can get access to the full engine source code.

[humble kayak]

alr. How can i lower batches in unity if i don't have gpu instancing on untiy's toon shader and don't have stuff that really needs static batching, I am getting 900+ batches in a med - high scene with only 4 materials for my enemies. I also dont know how to increase batching performance for particles and can't find help for this online

[fiery needle]

That sounds very interesting to me

[slow dirge]

I assume you're using BIRP?
URP and Hdrp handle batching a lot better.
In BIRP you're limited to gpu instancing, static and dynamic batching. There isn't really any other built-in way to reduce batches.
Honeatly, I'd recommend switching to URP.

[humble kayak]

no. im using URP

and unity 6.3

[slow dirge]

OK, then scriptable batcher should help a lot. Might want to use frame debugger to understand why it doesn't batch. Also, stats window is not a reliable source of info regarding batches.

Use the profiler and frame debugger instead.

[humble kayak]

Alr

[slow dirge]

Beyond that there's not much we can say without more info/context.

[humble kayak]

Alr, I'll get more info using the frame debugger and I'll see what's wrong, I was using the stats menu

[slow dirge]

Regarding particles, might want to consider vfx graph if you're not using it yet.

[humble kayak]

Would that help performance?

[lapis gate]

birp/particle system has instancing, but the kicker with vfx graph is that all the logic is GPU bound

I do notice that 3D meshes do add up pretty quickly with the particle system, while VFX graph you can draw millions without a hitch

not entirely sure why you would get that high with batches with the particle system though unless you're using some custom shader. Usually a lot of the particle system is like vertex data, but does that break batching at all?

[gray frigate]

mesh particles can be great if you use a shader that supports procedural instancing

otherwise, you're constructing and uploading a giant mesh to the gpu every frame

[lapis gate]

even the collision stuff tanks pretty quickly. VFX graph has gotten really good at that stuff

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I have a question. Volumetric fog is a feature that exists only in HDRP right?

[lapis gate]

unless through your own implementation or other assets, yes

[glossy topaz]

any1 know how to change this guys pose to the normal pose he is supposed to have

[naive cape]

Hey

[gray frigate]

It's only built in in the HDRP, at least

[gusty abyss]

finally figured out that blockouts exist

[radiant pewter]

how do assets work in relation to unity organisations?

why do I have to put an organisation when claiming the humble bundle?

[craggy pollen]

are you sure you ar enot being scammed or visiting some phishing link

[radiant pewter]

I am sure

[rough trellis]

Usually, unity assets must be tied to an organization for ownership and licensing. Humble Bundle asks so the asset goes to the right place. Even solo users need a default organization.

[radiant pewter]

so if I made a new one and claimed it, what does that mean for my ownership of the asset?

[rough trellis]

It means the asset is now owned by that new organization, not your old one. You can still use it in your projects, but its tied to that organizations account. If you switch organizations later, the asset wont automatically move—youd have to reclaim or transfer it.

[radiant pewter]

but that organisation doesn't have an account

they're both on the same account

[rough trellis]

Ahh, If both organizations are under your same Unity account, then claiming the asset to a new organization doesn’t actually change your overall ownership—its still yours. The organization just determines which projects can access it by default. So you can switch between your organizations in Unity and still use the asset in any project linked to that account.

[radiant pewter]

I see, thank you!

[rough trellis]

You're welcome! 😊

[heady gorge]

does anyone know where the clear flags setting went?

[inland apex]

It there a way to make a "trigger box" and see what objects/players are in that box

[copper gust]

thats a trigger yeah

[storm patio]

triggers in unity are colliders with "is trigger" set

[inland apex]

Ok thanks
But is there a direct way to see the objects in it or effect them

[thin rover]

waht does this error mean?

[storm patio]

you can use the trigger messages, but if you just want to query what objects are in a given section you could also use an overlap query

[inland apex]

Ok

[craggy pasture]

How can I fix this?

[drowsy turtle]

can someone help, i have a script that creates cave to my terrain with perlin noise, i want that the caves are connected and wont have dead ends, im pretty new to perlin noise so can someone help me implement it

[plain dagger]

Depends whats drawing the assets inline or if you have a custom inspector for TransitionAsset that does not work

[gray frigate]

The noise alone won't be enough.

I'm not sure what the most efficient way to solve this would be

the first thing that comes to mind is:

• Flood fill all of the caves
• If you have more than one distinct area, find the closest pair of points and cut out the walls there

[drowsy turtle]

how could i do that then?

[plain dagger]

Could work, it would let you build sets of connected caves

Sebastian Lague has an old related series that may help but its quite old. He is good though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhMriRLb1fs&list=PLFt_AvWsXl0eZgMK_DT5_biRkWXftAOf9&index=7 @drowsy turtle

does anyone have any ideas for how i could have like a photo taking mechanic and if an enemy is in the frame, do... something

[latent meadow]

Non-programming Unity development topics & questions not covered by specific channels. Prolonged discussions and game design questions should be threaded.

[copper gust]

thats not a game design question

[severe rover]

im using the thirdperson starter asset and doing everything im seeing on tutorials but when i start the play test the camera stays in place and doesnt follow the player how do i fix that?

just downloaded yesterday sorry if the question is dumb

[latent lake]

i literally dont understand pivots, i just want to decide what counts at the center for the parent...

[heady gorge]

idk if its a game design question. i was originally using raycasts, but raycasts are too precise. then i tried spherecasts, but spherecasts risk hitting other things, and then preventing it from getting the hit. then i considered spherecastall, but then i also run into the issue that if the enemy is behind an object, its going to also count them

[copper gust]

the photo taking and detecting an enemy in the frame are two different questions if it helps, but you probably want #💻┃code-beginner or #1390346827005431951

[copper gust]

you don't decide what counts as the center for the parent

[latent lake]

u can do something that gets a list of things, like a sphereAll idk whats its actually called though

and then go through the list

and look for what u want

i somehow missed the lats part

but should still work, no?

[heady gorge]

ye thats for spherecasts all but then i ran into the problem that it was also considering it to be a hit if the enemy was behind something because it was technically in range of the spherecast

[latent lake]

what is it you want, a sphereCastAll that gets only one type of object?

[copper gust]

your solution will probably involve using multiple parts of these suggestions, not just 1

[latent lake]

so what now? i just have to get the collider and use its transform as the center? since its the center of the enemy

[heady gorge]

i guess to be more exact i want to make sure that the enemy is on the screen when the photo is taken
now i did find something called .isVisible, but isVisible triggers if any camera can see it so im just slowly losing my mind

.isVisible is almost perfect
i could use it for this specific level, but then it would only ever work on this specific level

[latent lake]

ah, do sphere cast, get its position, then do a raycast in the directio n of that position, using the length of the distance ebtween those 2 things, and if that raycasts gets it, then its visible

[copper gust]

you could make a specific camera that only looks at a specific part of the enemy that only that camera sees? a little jank

[latent lake]

thats what i do with myenemy detection system

[heady gorge]

mysterious words

it may be time for a water break

[latent lake]

uh, i see, not for enemy vsibility

but how do you define "behind"

a lower layer in the sprite renderer? or simply having something else there

[heady gorge]

im using 3D but its just something in between the player and the enemy

[latent lake]

can you send a screenshot example?

[heady gorge]

i am confused what ye mean
for example, that white square that i have forgotten to finish the coding for is behind a wall (from the perspective of the capsule)

water break perhaps my mind is not clear

[uncut parcel]

Can someone confirm if it's expected behavior for a parent object's OnTriggerEnter method to be called when something enter's a child object's trigger?

[real agate]

guys i need help, why does only one part of my mesh ( a door) look like its normals are flipped even though, yes. The normals are flipped correctly from blender and yes the scale has been applied in blender as well, the other two doors of my animated mesh arent normal flipped which is weird.

[copper gust]

it is expected

[uncut parcel]

alright I figured. That's not what I want so I'm going to rework it

[plain dagger]

Either weird animation or you are mistaken and the normals do point the wrong way. Are you checking normal dir in blender correctly?

[latent meadow]

that is literally how you make a game

[uncut parcel]

true but the whole thing is tedious lmao

[latent meadow]

if it wasn't, everyone would be doing it! 😄

[uncut parcel]

for my project I'm doing literally everything except for some music because none of my collaborators have any programming or 3D modeling experience

and it is expectedly taking forever

but it's fun so I'm not complaining

[waxen crescent]

when first starting game development I thought the worst part would be the programming, but I was far wrong. unity animator and the grueling hours of perfectly positioning things in asprite definitely takes the cake!

[uncut parcel]

yes the animator 100% has been the worst or second worst part for me

[waxen crescent]

my heart goes out to you because i could never imagine making a 3d game

[uncut parcel]

it's really not as bad as you'd think, but the asset workflow from Blender to Unity is a massive b

[latent meadow]

that workflow got much easier for me after i invested in 'Better FBX Importer/Exporter' for the Blender side. thankfully i caught it as part of a Huge bundle, so it ended up costing me about 50 cents, but it is worth the 'retail price', if you've got the funds

[real agate]

this is just another weird anomaly that is stopping my work. the door was copied over from the other side and the normals are okay idk what to do, also animation seems fine as well unless theres something that needs to be checked?

[plain dagger]

Unity has an import option for it to re calculate normals for you. If that corrects it then you know its wrong in the model

[real agate]

looked bad once recalculated

[plain dagger]

enable the backface culling option in 3d view in blender

[real agate]

i did

one sec

[latent meadow]

opengl vs dx normal? nah, looks to dramatic for that

[plain dagger]

that should be tangent X only as its G thats inverted

[real agate]

where do i fix that?

[plain dagger]

but does the issue go away?

[latent meadow]

dx = DirectX, i meant

[real agate]

not even

like the whole thing is recalced and the door is still dark grey

[plain dagger]

My money is on weird animation

as that preview does not use materials

[real agate]

the animation for the left side of this fuselage was acting weird in the first round of troubleshooting anyways what do u recommend i do to mitigate it?

[plain dagger]

try exporting the model using the apply transforms option and make sure the model is a good scale in metres. If your animation changes scale then check it doesnt flip

[real agate]

okay

hello, i am making a 3d game but i want to make a 2d card do i need to use UI or there is another way ?

[gray dirge]

What is the card for and what kind of card?

[ebon rivet]

basicly a card that when you click on it it transforms to somesort of a special attack so like you press on it it goes to the 3d world then trnasform to the attack i laready made the 3d card

[plain dagger]

only world space/camera space ui can be easily combined with other meshes but its possible

May be your best bet to easily combine the two. Otherwise the card would need to be remade in UGUI/UITK

[gray dirge]

If you want to make it look like it's part of the world, affected by the lighting for example, then you would use a 3D model for the card. Otherwise a world space canvas might be the best option as rob said

[uncut parcel]

What's different about it?

[latent meadow]

What is difficult about the workflow currently?

[uncut parcel]

It's mostly just annoying getting NLA clips set up and then trying to get Unity to not discard bone data from the armature

[latent meadow]

Those seem to be covered with the plugin. probably best to watch a video on its function, or browse the docs (they are kind of limited). i have been in the middle of "Linux, WTH was That!?" for a couple months now, so i am out of practice, and do not even have it running in front of me, ATM (AKA, i dropped Windows entirely and did a full migration to Linux.) It is truly amazing how much time you can waste 'perfecting' a color scheme :/

[serene salmon]

Hey guys! Does anybody know how long the Pro pricing works? Am I required to renew the pro-contract if my revenue is above 200k the next year, even if I stopped developing the game?

[proper rivet]

not sure what could be causing it, does anyone have any experience of this?

[latent meadow]

i suggest staying on 6.0 unless you have a reason not to, or 6.3 at the latest. 6.4 lacks 'battle testing'

[spring sand]

Sorry I'm late but Happy Easter everyone!!!

[proper rivet]

ah

noted noted, will switch back luckily i didnt push the version change to my repo so im gonna go the lazy route of just deleting it locally and recloning it lmao

[serene salmon]

If you use git you can simply do a hard reset

And if you didn't commit anything yet, you can use git checkout . to reset the repo to the latest version without any of your uncommitted changes

No need to delete your repo

[exotic relic]

That’s only if you are using Unity services for the transactions.

The pro plan is a monthly subscription. If you stop developing then I wouldn’t say that you’d need to pay for Unity editor no.

This is something to look into after you do reach 200k/yr

[latent meadow]

if you Are above 200k a year, why wouldn't you be glad to pay the company/people who gave you the tools to even do so

[serene salmon]

It's not that I don't want to pay, I just want to know what my obligations are

[latent meadow]

best to ask Unity directly or a financial advisor or lawyer

[serene salmon]

That's the safest bet, I just hoped somebody who went through the actual process could answer my question

[potent geyser]

You need a license if you're making builds and making a company revenue exceeding thresholds. It's not for the project itself.

[serene salmon]

I'm not sure I understand, I guess a quick example will help us both understand what I am thinking of.
Say I release a game today and it does not gain much traction. I move on and go develop a new game. Now say 1.5 years later the game suddenly blows up and I make more than 200k in revenue. I would still need to buy a pro license, right?

[potent geyser]

Only if you're using Unity that year for anything.

It doesn't have to be related that project

[serene salmon]

Oh so if I were to decide to move to Godot for my next game, I wouldn't need to pay anything

interesting

But I suppose the moment I decide to update the game I would need to pay the pro fee

[potent geyser]

Yep

[serene salmon]

Alright, that makes sense

Thanks

On another note, I'm researching my options for 2D skeletal animations. Does anybody use Spine or Rive over Unity's built-in animation tools? If so, what's the reason?

[hearty verge]

Where can i change this setting?

Nvm, i found it tysm!

[gray frigate]

the default SSAO is relaly blobby

Anyone know how to make stylized textures easily i am not looking for high quality stylized just simple is there a filter or addon

[stuck flower]

Usually if you want stylized you'd need to actually style them. If it were a simple canned solution it wouldn't actually be a style

[zealous glen]

hey does anyone know anyone who specializes in making race tracks?

not music but like racing games

Anyone who has experience with symbolicating crash logs on unity?

I have this IL2CPP build that crashes. I get the json file crash logs but it's not symbolicated.

I already uploaded to unity the debugging symbols for the same build. First I tried getting all .pdb into a zip file then upload it. It says pending then completed on unity.

It didn't work so I just tried uploading GameAssembly.pdb which I think is the main pdb file. Same issue, crash logs aren't symbolicated.

Anyone else has experienced this issue?

is there some way to add volumetric fog in unity urp

[balmy kettle]

there are assets that implement volumetrics, or you can look into writing it yourself since it is not a feature of URP

[cyan lion]

should i still use hdrp if i need built in fog

since they are removing hdrp

hey i've been trying to make enemy ai in 2d using navmesh plus master but when i click bake old objects like walls are not getting included in the bake but when i make new object it works just fine i was looking online for a while now but i cant find the sollution also im relatively new to unity so im not sure if i should use navmesh for enemy ai or is there a better way for begginer

[void patrol]

i think the navmesh is a 3d asset, but i guess you can make it work in 2d by making the obstacles like 3d cubes with some z height

[spring sequoia]

I guess, but i downloaded some package to work specificly in 2d but the isiue is that the old objects in the scene like walls no matter what I do don't work and enemies pass right trough them but when I make new object it works normally maybe the solution to this problem would work with 3 too but I doubt anyone had a problem like this

[abstract umbra]

where did you get that?

[stuck flower]

They aren't any more apparently

But if they did, they wouldn't until they actually ported it over to URP

[cyan lion]

What

Are you sure

[cyan lion]

Like urp has all features of hdrp only then they will remove it?

[empty grotto]

so, I just bought this: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/robots/mech-constructor-spiders-and-tanks-54074

and its a great package for the type of robots I want.

checking the models closely, they seem to have naimations for how it moves left and right or straight.
is it good to have it this way and create a character controller that just calls on the animations or should I use something like Legs Animator https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/legs-animator-154245#releases

to maybe use IK for the legs?

[cyan lion]

Bro its all over the internet google it

[abstract umbra]

bro, i havent seen anything but rumors without facts, have you seen a single fact or its just another rumors avalanche ?

[empty grotto]

nope they are removing it, making things simpler somehow.

[abstract umbra]

proof-link?

[cyan lion]

Time to switch to

[empty grotto]

saw some codemonkey video weeks ago dont think i stored the link

[abstract umbra]

im not asking for rumors, just facts

[cyan lion]

There is a games from scratch video

[empty grotto]

it was in their conference dude, but aight

I think they're only deprecating the built-in, I think HDRP is sticking around?

I'm not sure where the most recent status of this is, though

[abstract umbra]

that i like, thats a fact, spoken by a unity staff, not some random dudes from youtube

[stuck flower]

It does say they're not adding new features to HDRP, so it might be slowly being phased out, but the fact that they've specifically mentioned porting it to a new system indicates it'll be around for at least a while

[balmy kettle]

Going forward, we are focusing maintenance of HDRP on stability, regressions and critical issues of widely used functionalities while we continue to accelerate URP’s feature set and capabilities.
it's still going to be maintained, it just won't get new features

[abstract umbra]

i reported a bug that was only in HDRP last summer and it got fixed, even though it took long enough to give birth

[thin rover]

i cant come up with a name for my game :/

[stuck flower]

Is the game finished

[worldly cave]

whats the game about

[thin rover]

top down dungon crawler with grid movement wehre the enemys only move when you move

[worldly cave]

so like necrodancer?

[rough trellis]

What genre is it? Horror?

[thin rover]

not sure but i want it be a bit more chill and kinda cartoon looking

the characters in the game are these potato bean things

[worldly cave]

well you can always use a code name temporarily

and then come up with something later

for my game the name idea came to me in a dream

where i was sitting and trying to think of a name

[rough trellis]

Id suggest make your game first. And for the name focus on your games unique mechanic plus its chill or cartoon vibe. Pick a word for each and combine, rhyme, or tweak them into a short catchy name.
