Hmm.
This is an ideology I'm not used to, but I will do my best to accept

[storm patio]

assets and loaded objects aren't really separate concepts to begin with
unity Objects can be transient or persistent - eg Sprites, you can make these in memory, or you could also save these to assets
that idea is also applied to GameObjects - those in scenes are just created in memory, but prefabs are gameobjects that have been saved to assets

[clever kindle]

I see...

okay, well one other question, then.

I seem to be unable to select my prefab now that the type is rigidbody2D

[storm patio]

restrictions of prefabs are just restrictions of assets as a whole

[storm patio]

does the prefab have a rigidbody2d in the root object?

[clever kindle]

yes

[storm patio]

oh if you're using the selection window, idk how that really works with component types tbh

the typical workflow i know of/have heard of is drag & drop

[clever kindle]

ah

[storm patio]

ive often found that the selection window is not super ideal for a lot of cases tbh

[clever kindle]

I think I actually tried referencing a component directly and found that the "Asset" tab was empty, which is what led me down the gameobject route...

well, thank you both, regardless.

[remote summit]

how can i make a TMP_input field overflow? like i have a big ass tmp imput field with a big text but the text overflows and goes outside the inputfield and cannot be seen ( to the right direction ) i tried following AI steps to make it not overflow and continue in the next line but aint working

[storm patio]

isn't there a button for this on the component

overflow behavior or wrap behavior

something like that

[remote summit]

there is both

[storm patio]

oh what

i thought it'd be one or the other lol

but yeah you should be able to configure it there

[remote summit]

i suppose it must be here but yea

[remote summit]

i keep changing text warpping to normal

but it keeps changng back

like its possessed

[wraith pasture]

Thanks

[storm patio]

the options are explained here
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.2/manual/TMPObjectUIText.html#wrapping-and-overflow

[remote summit]

it striahgt up dont let mem change

[storm patio]

are you changing it in playmode

[remote summit]

im changing it while not running

[storm patio]

ok so that'd be a no

[remote summit]

but whenever i run the app it changes back

to preserver whitespace with no wrap

[storm patio]

are there perhaps options on the inputfield that are overriding this?

[remote summit]

idk if there is smth like that but im not touching the imput with any script more than for moving it

[storm patio]

perhaps ask in #📲┃ui-ux

[remote summit]

also it is a olive color i put it

but when it moves wiht the script

it becomes a lighter tone of green

like more transparent for some reason

like it moves it has a bit of delay and bum is semi trasnparent nwo

[storm patio]

what are you referring to here exactly?

[remote summit]

like i put on the input field a color

and after it moves it becomes semi transparent for no apparent reason

when running the app

[near wigeon]

how it moves ?

[remote summit]

with rect transform

and then += (0 .800)

RectTransform rt = TextoAdvertenciaEliminar.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
if (modo)
{
rt.anchoredPosition -= new Vector2(0, 800);

[near wigeon]

which color mode did you put it on , Tint ?

[chrome scaffold]

waht is the best way to load my game. i want to load my game with a loading screen when starting the game and also when going into the game scene BUT idk what the best aproach is. copilot is saying that i shouldn t make a new scene for this but also i want your guys opinion

[remote summit]

idk where can i see whawt color mode but i setted it throught the inspector and asides of that is a normal TMP inputfield like i didnt touch anything else but the colorhere

[near wigeon]

you shouldnt be changing the color here but on the inputfield component one

[remote summit]

to give u more context is a warning sign that says are u sure u wanna eliminate so i have it outside the map and it moves in the center

[near wigeon]

btw no need to GetComponent on RT you can just cast a transform to it
RectTransform rt = (RectTransform)TextoAdvertenciaEliminar or (RectTransform)TextoAdvertenciaEliminar.transform if its gameObject

[remote summit]

here u mean?

[near wigeon]

yea

[remote summit]

alr i ll be back soon tell if worked

[near wigeon]

this is what controls the Image component tint, that should stay white

not saying thats the exact issue but you have to let the component change the tint not you directly on Image comp

[remote summit]

it became worse

now is almsot fully transparent

HAHAHHAhA

before it was some greeny and now is worse

[near wigeon]

this is an Inputfield text ? 🤔

[remote summit]

yes it is

[latent meadow]

Unity has a Splash screen that you can control. this is what shows first (or not at all if set not to in 6+.) you can make this your 'loading screen' for the game. as far as loading screens for levels, probably just check the Unity Asset Store for free or paid assets to do so easily.

[remote summit]

i use input field as an output

adn just set interactable to false

adn the 2 buttons are other assets

they are just 2 indepent buttons

[near wigeon]

why not just use a regular text ?

[remote summit]

i use input bcs it has more options to ocnfigure than normal text

[near wigeon]

why inputfield? you're seeing the disabled color

[remote summit]

oh

that make sense

easy solve then HAHHAHA

[chrome scaffold]

no the what is shown it self i have. the issue for me is the architecture. should we have a seperate scene or maybe just put it into the scene that we are on when making a change

[latent meadow]

that is a design choice, in the end. i couldn't tell you.
there is a learning site, and also, be aware of this:
https://unity.com/resources

[storm patio]

i don't see how any of the extra options would be useful if you aren't using it for input

are you actually using anything on the inputfield?

[sacred moon]

@latent meadow are u a mod?

[storm patio]

no

[clever kindle]

Hmm, I have a conundrum
I want to implement an upgrade system. All upgrades require a name and description.
However, I would in an ideal world, I would like upgrades to have a script for their implementation instead of representing all upgrades with data.

My original idea was to make each upgrade inherit ScriptableObject, but that sounds incorrect.
A workaround I thought of was instead giving the Upgrade ScriptableObject for each upgrade a MonoScript reference to the script they are meant to use, but this would mean each upgrade would still need both a script and Upgrade ScriptableObject in addition to sounding like an even worse idea
If I let the upgrade scripts decide their name and description, they would still require a ScriptableObject instance to represent them, unless I were to reference them via MonoScript...

Is there something I'm overlooking? None of this sounds like a good idea.

[latent meadow]

you might want to talk to #1390346827005431951 . the main thread is a 'live room'

[clever kindle]

ah, alright.

[latent meadow]

also, check this out
https://unity.com/resources/level-up-your-code-with-game-programming-patterns

it is free from Unity

[clever kindle]

is there a particular section that would be relevant to guiding me to a more idiomatic approach or is this a general reccomendation?

[latent meadow]

it is essentially, the different ways things are done, in general. you are asking a question that would benefit from this knowledge. it can frame it so you go 'oh, i see, those three things together and the way i think make the most sense' sort of thing. it is fundamental

otherwise, a lot of wasted time 'reinventing the wheel'

[clever kindle]

Okay, thank you. I didn't mean to sound dismissive of your suggestion, this looks very handy for future reference.

[latent meadow]

not at all. yw, good luck

[clever kindle]

Actually, I'm fairly familiar with most of these. Still, having a guide to how one would apply these patterns in unity is handy.

[latent meadow]

indeed. still best to talk to the programmers in the linked room though.they would be the ones who know, regarding your specific question

[pastel bough]

hi guys?

[worthy jetty]

On scale from one to ten, how laughable is my graphic stats for a 3D fps game I'm working on?

Alright I give a hint. The batch count

I got a fairly basic level with cubes and planes for walls, ground and ceiling. Now using a Mesh combine tool to put these together, but I feel overwhelmed because I will lose something on those objects. Metal and wood for example have different tags, so when combined they both feel like a generic material. No different bullet hole particles on them

[wraith wagon]

hello guys , am fresher to game programming...

[worthy jetty]

And then I have a part of the map where Navmesh is not utilized

[modest meteor]

this is your stats on a basic level with some cubes and planes? yeah that's bad

[worthy jetty]

I see. Its for webgl intended

[gray frigate]

If your bullet decal system depends on GameObject tags, then you indeed cannot combine different types of surfaces together

[worthy jetty]

I've thought about grouping all the metal and wood ones into separate gameobjects tho

How it looks

[wraith wagon]

not bad bro...🙂

[worthy jetty]

Thanks @wraith wagon

[wraith wagon]

@worthy jetty r u new to game programming? how much experience u have..?

[modest meteor]

how do you have 1k batches here?

[worthy jetty]

A few years but I'm not very good at level design.

[worthy jetty]

All cubes

My programming is 🆗 but I cant do multiplayer stuff

[storm patio]

this is not really what this server is for

[modest meteor]

why arent they getting batched together?

[storm patio]

please do not solicit DMs, and this isn't a social space

[wraith wagon]

sorry

[worthy jetty]

I marked all of it as Static.

I'm not sure. This probably get too technical for #💻┃unity-talk , sorry.
But I also want to mention Motion Vectors on each cube are set to Per Object Motion.

For Dynamic Occlusion you see

[modest meteor]

do you have a unique texture on each cube?
also if they're static you can just bake occlusion

[worthy jetty]

I have 5 different textures, shared across the level.

simple 1024px tex

[wraith wagon]

can u show?

[modest meteor]

then all your cubes should only be 5 batches, not 1k

[worthy jetty]

is just normal right

[worthy jetty]

Yes I use 3D Object > Cube

But together, all their faces take too much

I have no super high poly guns and props. In fact, my player gets spawned when scene starts.

[modest meteor]

are you assigning materials to the cubes via script?

[worthy jetty]

I have just grouped most corridors into a separate gameobject and then baked Occlusion without assigning any new Occlusion Area or Occlussion Portal component.
This is in-game now

Is the tris and verts still important?

[modest meteor]

also where are all the tris coming from? if you only have cubes

[worthy jetty]

That is a good question.

[latent meadow]

a quad is triangulated by the renderer. one side of a cube is 2 triangles

[worthy jetty]

Prob have to disable props per section to see which causes that

Sorry my ball knowledge only goes as far as Quad in 3D object

And I never use that

The reason I don't use Plane for walls is because the shadow won't be rendered properly (its empty at the other side)

[latent meadow]

as far as your hideous triangle count, i am going to assume that is not a Unity Terrain, but a mesh you brought in as land. regardless, that would count as triangles too.

[modest meteor]

i thought that was the skybox texture, not a terrain

[worthy jetty]

I have no terrain at all. I use plane and cubes for all surface, including two ramps

lol

[latent meadow]

what is that?

[worthy jetty]

"wow nice terrain bro"

thats literally the skybox with a mountain layer edited onto it

Ok but at least we made some good progress, guys. I had 1000 batches in the beginning of this chat and now I have 500-ish

I'll look more into it tomorrow, since you guys seem afk. Thank you

[latent meadow]

Ah. i was not paying attention to their ranting noise since they got here, so did not catch that. just looked up and made a guess based on the numbers. thanks

[lilac night]

hi all, i'm having trouble with my tracks, as the sleepers are not evenly spaced out, how should i fix this? i am still relatively new to unity

I'm working on a character controller for a platformer, just wanted some insight on how to handle the capsule collider's hemisphere when it comes to ledge contact.

[acoustic pollen]

Hello there, since i’m on linux? I was wondering about is vulkan is better graphics api for unityhub than using openGL?

[fierce axle]

In situation A, if I come from the top (I land on the ledge), my collider whill bounce backwards and fall. In situation B, I am jumping up on to the ledge but don't quite clear it - causing me to slide and then fall.

[latent meadow]

in my opinion, yes.

[acoustic pollen]

Ty

thank you sir

[latent meadow]

also, for future reference, there is a #🐧┃linux room

[fierce axle]

I plan on having ledge grabbing, so that might cover situation B - but I was just curious what people thought would be a good solution or have good game feel in general.

[acoustic pollen]

Okay

[fierce axle]

For clarification, I'm not looking for implementation help, just opinions.

[latent meadow]

well, that may be your answer right there.. play it and see what feels right

[fierce axle]

I'm more or less asking what do you, as the player, expect to happen in both of those situations? Just gathering opinions, that's all.

[inland river]

your cases have a lot of variations how exactly the capsule hits the edge and there is probably a threshold where one outcome switches for the other (falling vs grabbing). if you arent making a high-end ARPG the natual behaviour of a capsule hitting that edge might even be sufficient. in any case "grab" is basically a "break fluidity of motion and (optionally) force another player input to climb". in that sense its a recovery or "slow down" event. --> playtest will tell.

[tranquil crane]

how bad is the people asking how to make a gtag fangame issue over here

[copper gust]

fairly

[tranquil crane]

and how many actually are competent devs lol

[potent geyser]

Zero

[tranquil crane]

lol

[copper gust]

competent devs wouldn't be asking those questions 😛

[potent geyser]

It's about 100% requests and no actual action or progress .

[tranquil crane]

has there been a single project from them that has looked even remotely good lol

[potent geyser]

There as never been a single project to showcase

[blazing vale]

not sure why they archived the entire lighting channel... but in a new unity 6 project any reason why adjusting the shadow split isn't working in scene view at all? (yes I have the correct URP setting selected and even in rendering debug mode the setting have no effect)

[vivid cedar]

#1390346776804069396 it got consolidated in here

[tranquil crane]

As a person who used to like gtag and has played a bunch of gtag fan games, there has been like 4 actually good ones and all of those were made by actual game devs and they were all in studios lol (there is over a thousand on the meta store btw, its absurd)

and they were almost all single player lol

[blazing vale]

ugh really they changed it to a "post a thread" mode? thats where conversations go to die.... i much preferred the stream of consciousness of the older help channels.

[copper gust]

theres a gen thread

which might help

but yeah

[blazing vale]

the only thread i see there is VFX

errr channel

[blazing vale]

oh uh... hmmm okay

[novel venture]

guys im tryng to create a weapons system but i ahve a little problem

i have the gun prefab that has this gameobj called attackPoint, and i have this scripteble obj where it needs to get the transform of this obj when it's on runtime to the player class, but i ahve to use find

there is a better method to do that?

[undone monolith]

Why is my GroundCheck LayerMask not working even though my Plane clearly has the Ground Layer?

{
    Vector3 spherePosition = transform.position + Vector3.down * (characterController.height / 2);

    isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(
        spherePosition,
        groundCheckRadius,
        groundLayer
    );

    Debug.DrawLine(
        spherePosition,
        spherePosition + Vector3.down * groundCheckRadius,
        isGrounded ? Color.green : Color.red
    );
}```

[inland river]

reference the scriptable object and attack-transform from a Weapon monobehaviour. then setup Weapon in Start/Awake to do what that particular weapon as defined by the SO should do. including passing the attack-transform to the methods that need it.

Semi related to this but I was just testing in mario sunshine, oh my god the ledge snap is crazy

[undone monolith]

I thought off topics are not allowed in this server

[fierce axle]

its related to what i asked

about how a capsule hemisphere should respond to edges/ledges

[dusk lichen]

how do you make both sides of a cube show?
like, say you've removed a face of a cube because you want to hollow it out, if i flip normals then the inside of the faces show, but the outside now doesnt render

[plain dagger]

enable drawing both sides on your material or correct the mode to be "solid"

e.g. blenders solidify operation

[dusk lichen]

tyvm, worked

[inland river]

goes to tell that planning/expectations often turn out different in playtesting

[dusk lichen]

how do i make the mesh collider double sided too?

Your script will need to make a mesh collider with an interior. Or you can enable ‘Queries Hit Backfaces’ in the Physics settings and then when the player attempts to move your movement script can do a CapsuleCast or a rigidbody SweepTest to detect if there’s anything ahead and stop the player.

😐 box collider it is

[slow dirge]

This sound like a poorly prompted Ai answer..?

Where did you get that "make a mesh collider with an interior".
Mind to explain the actual issue + some context?

[plain dagger]

That only works well if your mesh is "solid" with faces both sides and its static

the llm response is dumb

[dusk lichen]

what lol

[slow dirge]

Where is that quote from then?

[dusk lichen]

unity forums..?

[slow dirge]

Can you provide a link then? This is no where enough context to answer your question.

[dusk lichen]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/double-sided-mesh-collider/1543285

i have this object, i have taken the face off the front of it to make it a "shelf", but because of the mesh collider the player can clip through it if they walk into it

so i was wondering if there was a way to also make the mesh collider double faced

but googling, there isn't

[slow dirge]

That's better.
"make a collider with an interior" in this case means just that. Either add primitive colliders inside the sliced one to describe whatever shapes there are or use a mesh collider with a mesh that models the inside as well.

[dusk lichen]

yeah i mean none of this was productive i already got the answer

nor required any extra context

thank you anyway

[slow dirge]

You can just use a box collider fit to the shape here.

[dusk lichen]

yeah but the issue is when i have stuff inside the shelf

its also going to interact with the collider no?

like i need a collider only the player cannot phase through

i guess i can do something with layermasking for that

or tags

[slow dirge]

Not necessarily. You can use different layers+ layermasks to configure what collides with what.

[balmy kettle]

will that stuff be affected by physics? if no, then there will be no "interaction" at all

[plain dagger]

stop using double sided rendering, have a solid mesh and use a mesh collider with static

[dusk lichen]

yeah but im using pro builder

[slow dirge]

Also that👆
Don't add or enable colliders on stuff that doesn't need to collide actively.

[dusk lichen]

blender is too pro for me rn

[plain dagger]

then pro build a better mesh

[dusk lichen]

idek what it even means to build a better mesh ngl

i just built a cube and removed 1 of the faces

[slow dirge]

Better mesh means a mesh with actual volume. So, on example of your shelf, every side of it should have front and back faces.

[plain dagger]

Thats the thing, you want to bypass learning how to make a good model

[dusk lichen]

so many assumptions man

[plain dagger]

pro builder is not a good way to get started with this

[dusk lichen]

im just prototyping

i care more about the code than what anything looks like

and things actually working

[plain dagger]

im sure you care if shit functions too

[slow dirge]

Then you probably don't need complex collision scenarios either.

[dusk lichen]

yeah but i still want the general thing to actually work

like it doesnt need to look pretty

[plain dagger]

see

[dusk lichen]

it just needs to work

[slow dirge]

Use a box collider and be done with it.

[dusk lichen]

its just idk box collider in my brain is screaming its hacky

cuz id need a box collider on every wall

and ceiling

for the thing to still be interactable and not like super static

[slow dirge]

No. What I meant is one box collider covering the whole thing.

[dusk lichen]

maybe i should just learn blender

do blender colliders move over to unity

[slow dirge]

No.

Unity uses meshes for complex shape colliders. There's a mesh collider component for that.

[dusk lichen]

maybe i should actually read some docs and watch some videos instead of trying to guess myself

ima go do that i guess

[stuck flower]

The actual shapes of most video game colliders would shock you

[sinful summit]

Not sure where to ask but I wanted to ask about the legitimacy of RealityJam (Specifically their UK Industry Access Program) It is on the unity website ,but I still have many questions about it especially since they request we pay £5000 on a 12 month training program before we get the job

[dusk lichen]

lmao what a backwards process

usually the job pays for the training

[stuck flower]

Never take a job that asks you to pay money before you earn any

In any industry. Ever.

[sinful summit]

yeah thats why I'm super cautious about it, they insist "You would be making money while training working on one of our MMOs" but I see no game that's released (or if it is surely it isnt popular enough to fund the 50 slots)

[slow dirge]

I think it's an educational program that guarantees you job afterwards.

With that mindset you don't need universities and colleges either.

[dusk lichen]

you actually dont

if you have discipline

[sinful summit]

thats why im not outright against it but realistically

im not trying to throw more money at courses

i already got a degree

[slow dirge]

That's debatable. Point is, they exist as a valid pathway for many people.

[dusk lichen]

no yeah i agree

if you dont possess self discipline, they are good at forcing it

you dont "need" it though

eh im wrong

some people do tbh

with the exception of some fields ofc, if ur working in medical, you need it

[slow dirge]

That does sound fishy to be honest.

[sinful summit]

if it were a company i heard of i wouldnt be sceptical

[dusk lichen]

sounds like ur paying to work on their game

feel like if they were successful they'd just pick people based on interviews and train them up at their own expense

sounds like a startup

[stuck flower]

Unless their MMO is named Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft, or RuneScape they ain't making any of the money back

[sinful summit]

exactly what im thinkin

[dusk lichen]

ok ive learned about mesh colliders

nobody has mentioned anything at all about making them double sided

also unity docs says

Faces in collision meshes are one-sided. This means objects can pass through them from one direction, but collide with them from the other.

so id have to make some weird collider that goes inside on itself or something for it to work

[stuck flower]

Or just use a couple of box colliders

Faster, easier, and more consistent

[dusk lichen]

i guess some things in game dev

are just hacky

its not uniform like pure programming

sometimes u gotta do weird hacky stuff to make it work

like ur code still needs to be somewhat uniform but the scene itself has alot of hacky collider stuff

well its not even hacky if its the correct way i guess

[gray frigate]

Primitive colliders are much easier to reason about than a mesh collider

so the resulting physics calculations are both faster and more accurate

hello guys i need help in my simple project for 2d animation and i would like someone to guide me

[stuck flower]

If you have a question you should probably ask it, but I'd recommend doing so on #🏃┃animation

[pastel onyx]

I was kinda curious about something

Is there anyway that I can make an animation UNCANNY in unity?

Let's say I have a zombie walking animation.
But instead I want that animation to be glitchy and messy that looks kinda eerie?

[rancid raptor]

<@&502884371011731486> could you please get @surreal vigil banned? I'm dealing with the perp in another server for sending unsolicited friend requests without any backup activity beforehand

Hello Uniters how are you?

How does Unity handle databases these days? 6.4 version

I know EFCore SQLite wont be a thing until 6.8 probably/

[pastel onyx]

Pretty good so far

[ashen timber]

Same, got excited when I saw UI Toolkit as I struggled with doing it manually for a long time and gave up

[stuck flower]

Yes by making animations that look like that

You still animate them the same way

[near wigeon]

its fine, depends what your goal is

[ashen timber]

Make them do the pathmark can can dance

[rancid raptor]

In the absence of a picture of the request due to having dismissed it, I have sent a chat log where both myself and another person were talking about having it happen

[ashen timber]

or whatever the comemrical was for their store advertisements in the 80s

[rancid raptor]

Thanks for the pointers

[stuck flower]

This isn't mod mail and that's still not evidence

[ashen timber]

Was he doing something bad? Like bad bad? I can post the NCMEC report link if needed

Discord has had a uptick of spammers, scamers and weirdos lately

anyway this isnt unity related so moving on

Which channel can I ask about databases in for Unity?

[pastel onyx]

That's one way

I remember one time I accidentally messed up a walking animation

Because I changed some settings in the animation settings of unity

I wanna do that again

[rancid raptor]

No worries, I'm moving on for now (but will follow up if it happens again)

[ashen timber]

Which channel is best for me to ask about Databases in Unity dev? #1390346827005431951 ?

[slow dirge]

Yes.

[hasty tinsel]

Hey guys, quick question for the UI peeps. I’ve been working on a 'Visual Grid' tool for Unity that works like Photoshop guides (dragging lines from the axis, magnetic snapping to UI elements, and a toggle to switch between fixed pixels and scaling percentages).

​I know Unity has Layout Groups, but this is strictly a visual guide for when you want manual control without the layout group restrictions. Is this something people actually find useful for their workflow, or is the built-in stuff enough? Just wondering if it's worth the effort to polish the last 10% and release it for free or just use myself. Before closing its just a visual guide for UGUI. Thanks!

if you need to go to the BS machine, are you really suited to teach that thing lol

[storm patio]

what are you trying to find tutorials for?

[cyan lion]

Whats the point of a teacher when students can just use ai?

[cyan lion]

Also why are you appointed as a teacher if you don't already know what you are going to teach?

[latent meadow]

the Unity ai thread is here. aside from that, really, no one wants to have this conversation for the 3 millionth time
https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1352599815770341479

[cyan lion]

I have used ai a bit and what i feel is the more i use ai i loose control cause i don't actually know what is happening in code

[copper gust]

i dont think thats what they meant

[safe garden]

hi guys, I have a cloth mesh, basically a flag banner draped and it should be moving or swaying in the wind, is there any simple cloth dynamic function that can do this, anything on the asset store? doesn't need to be complex, its just some slight movement

[latent meadow]

i use paid assets, like magica cloth, but i think there are cloth physics built in to Unity. perhaps talk to #⚛️┃physics , and just search the asset store/google for github stuff. others may have a direct name

@safe garden

[gray dirge]

If it doesn't need to respond to any physics and you just want to have a visual waving effect, then you could use a vertex shader based distortion which is usually really cheap solution. If it needs to have proper collisions, then some cloth physics component is needed

[safe garden]

thanks for the recommendation guys

trying now

[lament adder]

Hey everyone. I made the models for this and assembled in unity but for some reason the ground is reflecting the sky even though i have a ceiling and the light is very equal across the space and not 'really' being reflected off of anything. Is there a tutorial you can recommend to fix this?

[latent meadow]

perhaps talk to #1391720450752516147

[supple bone]

Hello everyone, I'm Ronald, I am very new to unity, the only thing I can do is move a 3D game object and add Raycast, pls how can I learn more

[latent meadow]

you'd use the learning site

[latent meadow]

the Pathways are the best start

[supple bone]

Ok thanks you

Another thing, does it Include how to move a 3D human figure?

[latent meadow]

there are some animation tutorial sections in Creative Core Pathway, at least. perhaps more. it is a massive site, and often times things are a bit hidden

[supple bone]

No problem, I will check it out, thanks

[limpid hollow]

im trying to zip my project's folder to send to my pc i heard i could delete some files so the zip file is smaller

idk which files tho

[latent meadow]

delete the Library. it is a cache that will rebuild on next launch. this is generally safe.

[limpid hollow]

tysm

[safe garden]

random q for the chat - I know there's probuilder for primitive creation and blockout, is there anything to do stuff like hanging cables in unity? guessing it would be doing it in a 3D app first, then importing, but always wondered if you can model and add stuff like this in engine

EDIT: just saw this https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/spline-mesher-pro-338468

[storm patio]

linerenderer and splines do exist, i guess you could use that for blockout?
kinda confused what this is for though. if it's decorative you wouldn't need it in the blockout, if it's functional you'd need more than a blockout

[latent meadow]

there are also several free cable/rope system assets in the store

[safe garden]

its just stuff like placing cylindrical cables in tunnels, I can just do it in Blender but its sometimes nice to add it and place in engine so you can gauge how things are looking quickly

[gray dirge]

I'm sure there are (tools in the store). Catenaries are simple mathematical shapes which can be easily modelled mathematically. If you used a modelling tool, it could be hard to achieve the exact physically correct shape. Tools dedicated for that probably do better job at that

Blender actually seems to have support for catenary curves built-in

[crude stratus]

I been away from the unity studio for a long time

[sly lake]

There’s an official spline system in the package manager

It’s not very performant though so I’d advice baking the mesh

[worthy nimbus]

i plan to get in game development starting from 2027
should i possibly use unity as a broke solo dev with no experience for my project
(i plan to make multiplayer games)

[latent meadow]

sure.

[shrewd zenith]

is brand image a thing for indie games? lets say you think you a game that has a shot at being a top selling game. is the gameplay you show for feedback or just ro create some traction important?

will things like this make a difference? also the type of unprofessional comments you make that other people see

[potent geyser]

Of course?

[shrewd zenith]

big or small difference?

more on the topic of the quality/look of your game when you show gameplay videos

[potent geyser]

If you're asking if you should show progress videos, people do that all the time.

If you're asking if you should show low effort nonsense that will turn people off from your game or offend people, then obviously it makes a big difference. That shouldn't have to be explained.

[wary adder]

I have my project basically for test run, but I wanna know how do I put collide onto my walls and stuff but how do I know that I already have them?

[latent meadow]

... can you try rewording that so it makes sense

if you are askihg how to see if you have colliders on your walls, then you should go through the pathways on the learning site

Anyone having an issue like me the login link won’t work for unity?

[vapid moss]

guys what do i do if i saved my project to onedrive and i reopened it and my stuff i did is gone (its for my college assessment 💔)

[storm patio]

don't save it in onedrive

[pearl oyster]

1. don't save projects to Onedrive, 2) make sure you have the scene that you worked on actually open, 3) if nothing else, Onedrive has a limited version history you can use to recover old versions of files

[vapid moss]

i kinda need onedrive so i can work at home and college 💔

[storm patio]

you don't need onedrive

you can use proper vcs instead (eg git or uvc)

onedrive is for sharing files, not for sharing work

[vapid moss]

if i reopen my project at home will my work be there 🥀

[gray dirge]

Use proper version control and it will. OneDrive is horribly slow and buggy for unity project kind of deep file structures

[vapid moss]

r u saying i need to restart 💔

[storm patio]

if you set up vcs properly, yes

[vapid moss]

i didnt select version control bc idk how to do it 💔

[storm patio]

if you lost all your work, probably. check for file history like nitku mentioned

good time to learn then

[gray dirge]

No, I'm saying to use version control. If OneDrive already broke your project, it will depend what you can recover

[vapid moss]

it js didnt save what i did in my canvas

[vapid moss]

how do i use version control then

[storm patio]

choose between git and uvc, and then look up tutorials

[vapid moss]

i guess i’ll choose git since i already have github

[fair cove]

Have you seen this guide?
https://unity.huh.how/info/git - otherwise, any tutorial on YouTube should work just as well

[vapid moss]

i have not seen that guide, thank u

[gray dirge]

Just make sure to make OneDrive not back up your folder anymore when you start using git. It will eventually mess up things badly once your project gets large

[vapid moss]

so for my last college assessment would i still be ok saving it to onedrive and using version control? (my last assessment doesnt start until january next year)

[storm patio]

cut onedrive out of the equation

it's not going to help

just use version control

[vapid moss]

so where would i save my next project

[storm patio]

version control

if you mean where on your pc, wherever where it won't be fucked over by onedrive

[viscid raft]

Have a look at this video, explaining version control with Git, storing the project on GitHub, and combining the two with GitHub desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE

[vapid moss]

watched like a 2 min tutorial on how to do it but my progress didnt restore 🥀

[storm patio]

this wouldn't fix your current issues

if you can't restore what onedrive nuked then that's just gone (again, nitku told you what to check before) 🤷

this is just what to do to avoid the issues that onedrive would have

[vapid moss]

do u think its best if i just restart my project 😭

[storm patio]

you're just going in circles at this point

recover what you can and ditch onedrive

[vapid moss]

how do i recover it tho 😭

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message

if you're here for help, maybe actually read the things we say.. i've mentioned niktu's response like 3 times already

[viscid raft]

Yeah well I guess it was already answered, but this is prevention for future mishaps. It won't solve your issue as it is currently.

[wary creek]

alright so i'm back with my inquiry about using the profiler in general, so finally have access to a lower-end machine so it's easier to see what's causing the performance issues

my question now is how do i read this and take action? i can understand if it's a script issue, but it doesn't seem to be a script issue, more of a rendering issue if anything

[bleak sable]

hello does anybody know why this happends?

[wary creek]

(more context here)

[bleak sable]

nvm fixed it

[fair cove]

I would suggest looking up a tutorial on how the profiler works, Jason Weimann has a good video about it but theres many others and 2 main ways to read the profiler (as you have shown both with your screenshots) - in terms of "taking action" it depends on what is actually causing the specific problem your looking for, the specific goal your trying to achieve and if you are looking at a "red herring" or a editor overhead, I often google the names that are listed in the hierarchy breakdown so figure out what engine feature is causing that specific call, you can also expand the hierarchy even further and go into "deep profile" if needed or try using the Frame Debugger if its a rendering/draw call problem

[wary creek]

alrighty thanks a lot, i'll start cracking at it

[vague cairn]

im trying to edit the weight of the IK bone to be 0 so it doesnt move but for some reason its still having a weight of 1

its extremely weird

[rare cliff]

Friends, my game project currently resides on a Windows PC; however, I also own an iMac. How can I set up a live sync for this same project on macOS? Both systems are running the exact same version of the Unity Editor—2022.362f3—but I would like to be able to work on the project interchangeably across both platforms using these different devices.

Windows PC - MacOS ??? 🤔

@potent geyser

@charred fog

[potent geyser]

Please don't pull people into your question, we're not on call for you.

[rare cliff]

ok, sorry

[potent geyser]

And no, you can't create a live sync. The normal development workflow is to use version control to push/pull changes.

To be clear, live syncing as in "real time" you're seeing the changes happening in both. Version control is "live sync" in that you can work between multiple machines as long as you're actively pushing and pulling those changes.

[rare cliff]

However, both platforms share the same version, and since this file is large...

[potent geyser]

Your project isn't a single file, it's a collection of files

[rare cliff]

But how do I do it, and where can it be done?

[potent geyser]

That's a topic I'm not going to explain in full because it's big. You need to:

1. Create a repository (I suggest making an account on Gitlab and creating a repo there)
2. Access that repo through some software (I suggest using Fork)
3. Pushing your project to that repo via Fork
4. Cloning that repo on your mac via Fork
5. When you're working, push your changes via Fork. When you switch to your other machine, pull those changes via Fork and vice versa.

You can find tutorials on this, it's not a Unity specific thing.

One thing you will need to do is include the Unity git ignore file in the root of your project folder before you include your Unity files:
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

[stuck flower]

Push from one when you're done on it,
Pull from the other when you start on it

[rare cliff]

I've heard that GitHub handles this task.

[rare cliff]

ok, but

However, my question is: since my projects amount to 30–32 GB, will I need a subscription for them?

Gitlab

[potent geyser]

Your project, right now, likely includes your Library folder which accounts for the majority of space taking. The gitignore file makes sure not to include those folders (among others).

If your project is STILL excessive, then yes, you'll have to pay money if it exceeds the free repo limit. And if file sizes are large, you will have to look into Git LFS (large file storage). But I would just try making the push first. It will tell you if there's anything too big.

[rare cliff]

Yes, I am aware that every library has its own specific build process.

[potent geyser]

That's not what I'm talking about, I'm specifically talking about the Library folder in Unity

[rare cliff]

ok i'll try

[sand harbor]

Does anyone know how how to render a camera space canvas through a RT cam?

[latent meadow]

oh man. the Unity Spring Sale has brought the Store to a crawl

[ashen timber]

To store data for a wrestling game

[near wigeon]

are you looking to use a server because otherwise no point of using a database.
if its on server, you can just use asp.net / core to make the EFCore app and communicate the API. This is usually how things are handled

[ashen timber]

it is a local game

not multiplayer but i do need a database because it is a full sim, not 3d like but it will have history, stats, shows, titles, roster, so much

[sacred moon]

How to get servers for free

🙂

[near wigeon]

You don't really need an entire database system for that. Also keep in mind anything stored local can be modified / cheated. if you're okay with that go right ahead.
you can still use a seperate app to handle the database / efcore if thats what you're comfortable with and launch it with the game or use SDKs that are compatible with Unitys old 4.x .NET or 2.x Standard

[near wigeon]

Get a provider that offers free tiers

[ashen timber]

cheated? IT'S A SINGLE PLAYER SIM

there is no 'cheating'

its a SIM

[near wigeon]

people can still cheat in single player ? they modify the stats

[ashen timber]

like this

and?

[near wigeon]

if you don't mind go for it

[ashen timber]

do youk now what a sim is?

lol

its meant to be modified

its a booking sim 😂

[latent meadow]

stop being rude. what is the point when someone is giving you their time

[ashen timber]

fine. sorry but tired of people acting like everything must be on clouds or servers.

i asked about a damn database and got a lecture

i had one person say 'USE AI TO MAKE YOUR GAME' last night

[stuck flower]

Nobody is saying that you need a server? Quite the opposite in fact

[near wigeon]

lecture?

[stuck flower]

They're saying "Why bother with databases if you're not using a server"

[ashen timber]

Because SQLite isn't a server.

[near wigeon]

You can just put this in a file like JSON or something then

[ashen timber]

JSON would get too big tbh, it's a lot of data.

[near wigeon]

if you want to use SQLite then go for it

[ashen timber]

I'm not making a game where you pet a donkey or dig holes like indie devs do

[stuck flower]

Again, why use a database if it's not for a server? The thing that databases do effectively is querying over a network, file IO is much faster

You can get away with just writing files to disk in whatever format the serializer gives you

then you don't need to worry about converting it

[ashen timber]

And what happens when the data gets too big? I'm expecting 50,000 rows minimum

That wont fly on json

imagine trying to scroll all that 🙁

[near wigeon]

not everything needs to be stored in one giant file

[stuck flower]

That's like, what, 10 megabytes? That's not really that big

[ashen timber]

A lot of wrestling sims use databases or encrypted serialized containers (coughWWE2Kxxcough*)

but maybe im thinking about it wrong

[near wigeon]

but if you're fixed on SQLite no one is stopping you. Its fine for local storage databases so at least you don't have to install an entire system on a players PC

[ashen timber]

i dont know what i want i guess :\

also sorry @near wigeon not trying to be rude, i just am not into redoing a project 10 times like I tried in 2022.

its not personal

But yeah even this sim relies on SQLite

It's why I brought it up

Now If I had $50M and I was 2K, I would hire people who could make a proper storage system

[near wigeon]

many apps use SQLite

[ashen timber]

Yeah

[sacred moon]

I am confused by c# please help

[ashen timber]

If I was doing multiplayer, which there is no point as it's all text. I'd use Firebase or MongoDb or something server sie.

I was just curious on proper sqlite setup for Unity as it's not a native plugin or part of engine

[near wigeon]

you need to ask a question for someone to help

[ashen timber]

🤗

[near wigeon]

use a wrapper or make your own app to launch with the game that is a traditional efcore app

[sacred moon]

Yes, what are the sources to learn it

[storm patio]

there are resources pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[ashen timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5GICs6yTxM How is this?

[silent mica]

This stuff is pretty easy to swap out later on. I would start by loading a single file in memory and changing it if need be.

[ashen timber]

That is a fair point as well.

[sacred moon]

Thank you so much!

[near wigeon]

eh not going to watch an entire video lol
its up to you to determine that, if it does what you want go for it.
( personally not a fan of using raw SQL is cumbersome so I prefer using a wrapper)

[hushed marlin]

how to disable this uglyass directional light thing?

[ashen timber]

yeah i hate raw sql,t his is 2026 not 1993

[near wigeon]

certainly someone made some type of .net wrapper / easy to use SDK that interacts with it for unity compatible versions

EFCore is easiest, but like I said you need to do some double app type of thing which can get annoying.
SQLite-net is also an option

[ashen timber]

oh yeah, for sure, it's 2026, orm's arent new

[ashen timber]

I hear Unity 7 or 6.8 will have .NET Core support finally

So we will have EFCore SQLite by then, might take a year or 2

[near wigeon]

hopefully so, we've been waiting forever on it

[inland river]

did you specify above why you need a RDBMS besides filesize?

[ashen timber]

Table relationships are very important imn this regard

[inland river]

in what way?

i mean, does your data need to be relational for any specific reason or would you also be able to work with an object graph?

[ashen timber]

You have a global roster, championships, networks, shows, etc, and you have promotions which then have shows, championships etc which it can use from the global pool. You also have title reigns, history basd on what wrestler id etc

Yes it does need to be relational

its a wrestling sim and the goal is to have a lot of data on it

thats whati m getting at

[inland river]

so you need stuff like query optimization?

and your database is too large to keep in memory?

[ashen timber]

here's an example from a wrestling sim i found on Steam

[inland river]

thats all fine, but this is just one projection of the data, it doesn't need to be relational, it just happens to be

[ashen timber]

It needs foreign keys

[inland river]

tbh this looks more like a structured document database encoded as tables

[ashen timber]

That's like saying a car engine doesnt attach to the rest of the frame

I don't know anymore :\

[inland river]

a foreign key is just a pointer to another object

[ashen timber]

maybe il wont make anything

1 min, i got a better example

maybe im wrong i dunno

The funny part about my life is, no matter what I want to do, I'm told "don't bother"

I ask "Why?" then I get "because what you want to do , exists"

if no one made their own versions of 'existing' stuff, it would be boring

[balmy kettle]

crashing out because someone is trying to help you figure out the best way to approach what you are doing is definitely a good indicator that you'll finish this project 👍

[ashen timber]

nah I'm not crashing out, I just am tired of the same song and dance ever since i was a kid

I mean yeah we have 50 wrestling sims, but we also have 100 hero shooters/battle royale games and people flock to them like crackfiends xD

but yeah i guess maybe i can start with a smaller database or data set in binary format instead

I don't even know how far I can go with my skills tbh

I love all innovation and people's take on things, that's always a great thing. I just don't know what to 'make' for a game as everything exists.

I always wanted to do a wrestling sim since 2007 but I was too stupid for 23 of those years and never got to it.

You're all great people so don't worry ❤️

[ashen timber]

Gonna poke around and come up with something, it doesn't need to be AAA quality, just for fun.

[sage owl]

Hello can someone help me? I want to buy an asset for an organization i just created but when going to the checkout, the organization changes automatically. I already tried changing it where the guide says, but it doesnt work

[latent meadow]

this is not something anyone here would be able to help with, at all.. Perhaps try again later, or contact Unity Support directly.

when these sales go on, the store gets bombarded. odd things do happen. just talking as a customer myself. i am actually waiting a couple hours to buy anything since the site was so slow

[plain dagger]

[untold breach]

How do I start learning whatever is necessary to make this effect in unity?
This is from a Geometry Dash level
Is it shaders? Splitting each pixel into the three colors?

[latent meadow]

talk to #✨┃vfx-and-particles

[storm patio]

i don't think this is actually splitting pixels. if it were, the source pixels for eg the left circle there would be cyan on the very left edge and then yellow and the center would be white with random specks of cyan and magenta and red

this just looks like pixel art with elongated and pre-colored pixels

it could be shaders, mapping the brightness onto the brightness of each cell, maybe. i'm not a shader guy though so idk

just, definitely not splitting pixels.

[clever kindle]

Performance wise, how bad is GetComponentsInChildren/GetComponentInChildren/GetComponentsInParent (et. al)? Do they have a near-constant or linear time complexity?

Since GameObjects need to be deleted or instantiated fairly regularly (compared to individual components, anyway), there would be times in which the previous array from these methods would be either full of nulls or not contain all components. Now, I could write a system to only call this method whenever necessary, but I'm unsure if this is even something that would be necessary under any "regular" engine use.

Especially if the engine caches the result or keeps archetype hashsets internally

[latent meadow]

#💻┃code-beginner or #1390346827005431951

[gray frigate]

Explain how you're going to be using those methods!

(in either of those channels)

[brave ridge]

You shouldn't really need to use either tbh. You can always design around not needing it where you manually add or remove from the list

[clever kindle]

Yeah that's true. I mean, Array pushback is a bitch, but what can ya do

[proper cairn]

These methods are slow and also allocate memory, they are ok to use in smaller hierarchies occasionally, just don't call them every frame

[brave ridge]

I dont know what you mean by pushback, that doesnt seem like an actual term. Regardless its just simpler to add objects through a central component instead of allowing anything to add objects, then always trying to scan if new objects were added

[clever kindle]

gotcha

[brave ridge]

Calling it once a frame isnt gonna do anything noticeable to your performance, if it were done hundreds of times, maybe.
The major thing is its just poor design

But yea if you need more specific discussion, we can continue in a code channel

you kinda picked a bad server for that lol

more so an elaborate help forum

[storm shuttle]

it's a unity server

I am onboarding to unity based studios that said I should promote to unity devs

[worldly cave]

in fact i dont think you can promote anything in #1179447338188673034 that isnt free

do you know of a server that would be good for this?

[tall hearth]

why does unity not like me using float2x4 ~_~ tried using it for something and it cause a huge memory leak (or least what i assume is a memory leak)

[storm shuttle]

google pointed me here

[gray dirge]

I don't think that alone could cause any leaks (unless you did something very wrong with it). Are you sure it's that and not something else? The memory profiler can probably reveal the leak to you. You could also have some code that just continuously allocates more and more memory, it may not necessarily be a leak

[storm shuttle]

I'll just try somewhere else, I'm trying to share something I created while helping a unity dev and he said I need to share and network because there is nothing like it

[plain dagger]

Its a managed struct so you cant "leak" memory really. you probably just allocated a shit ton of stuff and it cant be collected yet

e.g. fat ass collection still in use

[tall hearth]

profile dont work cause it freezes unity in it's entirety but fairly certain as all i added between it working and not was the existence of the Scale, and Offset loops are pretty small 1,400 total CreateConnection calls

for (int y = 0; y < VerticalConnectorCount; y++)
{
  for (int x = HorizontalRailCount; x > 0 ; x++)
  {
    CreateConnection(x, y, z, Scale.c3.x, Scale.c3.y, Offset.c3.x, Offset.c3.y);
  }
}
private void CreateConnection(int x, int y, int z, float HorizontalScale, float VerticalScale, float HorizontalOffest, float VerticalOffest)
{
    int3 ConnectionPoint = new int3(y, x, z);
    var Connection = Instantiate(Connector, TerminalContainer.transform);
    Connection.transform.localPosition = new Vector2(x * HorizontalScale + HorizontalOffset, y * VerticalScale + VerticalOffset);
    Terminals.Add(ConnectionPoint, Connection);
}

[plain dagger]

line 3

wtf

[gray dirge]

definitely something wrong in there

[tall hearth]

uh yes? never used the float2x4 before

[gray dirge]

...that's for loop

If this is a desktop do you have xmp/expo enabled?

[worldly cave]

that 2133 does not look like it has xmp enabled lol

[tall hearth]

no it's whatever the default bios is cause last time i fucked around in there it forced me to throw away my cmos battery and buy a new one

[worldly cave]

litterally even how did you manage that lol

[plain dagger]

that doesnt sound right but you want it on to get better speeds for your RAM

if you have an AMD ryzen it helps a lot

[worldly cave]

you will at some point have to update your bios as well... which is far scarier than something like enabling faster ram speeds

so you might as well bite the bullet* now and get over the fear lol

[plain dagger]

I have 6000 with mine

[tall hearth]

i enabled rebar and DOCP and it would boot loop after loading windows, so i removed the cmos battery and that did nothing so i took apart the pc and rebuilt it turned it on while the battery was still out and it'd boot but the cpu was at a fixed 3.8 GHz and it bitched so i tried putting the cmos battery back in and it stopped booting again so i bought a new one and then it ran fine.

in that process i broke the sli connector on my gpu from throwing it

[worldly cave]

i was gonna flex my 3200 😔

how many sticks is that

i got 2x16gb

[tall hearth]

i mean mine's meant to be 3200 but it dont wanna be 3200 (prolly cause xmp or whatever aint on)

[plain dagger]

I wanted something good to last me since before I had 8gb ddr3 😐

[worldly cave]

ddr5?

i got lucky and bought mine right before that price hike

[plain dagger]

yep. purchased well before the current crap

[worldly cave]

close call lol i just wish my old ass mobo supported ddr5

[plain dagger]

Its possible enabling the profiles caused instability hence the boot looping

[tall hearth]

I dont think ddr4 goes to 6000 mt/s

[tall hearth]

Is the DOCP the same as the xmp?

[plain dagger]

well for amd its EXPO but they all do the sameish thing, enable pre set profiles to run the ram faster. Sounds like DOCP is an asus specific thing 🤔

Hopefully your mobo manual states more

[tall hearth]

sounds like too much work, but setting the memory clock speed in bios seems to have made it work

[plain dagger]

if you just changed that and only that with overclocking settings its probably unstable

anyway interwebs has plenty of info on this

[tall hearth]

never heard the internet be called this in my life, but the speed doesnt really affect me much so if it does end up crashing i'll just revert it back

[feral marsh]

@tall hearth

[dusk lichen]

if i 9 slice a square sprite

then resize it to a rectangle

will the sides be longer than the top and bottom still?

assuming its a border sprite

[storm patio]

9-slicing means the corners don't stretch, the sides stretch in one direction, the center stretches in both directions

i'm not sure what exactly you're asking

maybe draw some lines yo clarify what part you're referring to

[mellow hound]

I have a general question about creating mobile games in unity - specifically level design. My levels are simple and small and the player interacts physically with the faces in the map. What is best practice for leveldesign in this case? SHould i create individual modular peices that snap together like legos (in something like probuilder) or can i build out an entire level in something like blender or nomad sculpt and export it as a single .fbx? Are there performance tradeoffs in meshing/colliding an entire level as one peice?

[tall hearth]

having it be one mesh means things like LODS cannot be used as it's just that one mesh the whole thing is rendered even if it's far off screen

[mellow hound]

interesting ok that makes sense. is there a best practice when it comes to creating modular level objects or is it really just about making the vertex's pixel perfect? I know probuilder has things like weld, merge, bridge etc but im new to Probuilder

[tall hearth]

no idea, only full game i've made was 2d and didn't have a "world" to it. The other was something with random mesh generation so i haven't really handled modeling a world

[mellow hound]

ok np ty!

[pliant nacelle]

Hi

Let's have a conversation.

[storm patio]

this isn't a social server, this is for unity specifically

[pliant nacelle]

Yes!!

All right

[granite lava]

Can't colliders detect collision when Kinematic?

[balmy kettle]

colliders don't even collide when their associated rigidbody is kinematic because kinematic bodies are not affected by physics

[granite lava]

You're the second person to tell me something like that and I can't help but think that certainly was not the case before
Did Kinematic colliders use to collide at some point in the past? Is my mind playing tricks on me?

Hmm, maybe I'm misremembering transform.Translate with Dynamic bodies?

Hmm, yeah that could be the case then

Well, thanks anyways

[balmy kettle]

if you're using 2d then there's the useFullKinematicContacts property which I believe will allow collision messages to be produced (they still won't collide), i don't think there's an equivalent for 3d

[vivid cedar]

The table on this page has been unchanged for quite a long time.

[granite lava]

I see, thanks for the info guys

[storm patio]

this causes rb desyncs, so you wouldn't use this

[plush horizon]

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m trying to better understand how developers work on their projects.

I have a few short questions and would really appreciate your input:

– What usually takes you the most time when working on a project?
– What’s the most frustrating part of your workflow?
– Which tools do you use the most?

Thanks a lot 🙏

[storm patio]

procrastination, procrastination, and git, probably

analysis paralysis is also a strong contender for the first 2

[rough field]

1. Content
2. Oddly enough I don't have any, my workflow is constantly evolving with every challenge
3. Depends in what context, cuz technically unity itself is a tool, visual studio is a tool, and those are always open when I am working

[plush horizon]

Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it! 🙏

Interesting 👀
When you say content, do you mean things like assets, levels, or something else?

Also, when you’re working on a bigger project, is there ever a moment where things get messy or hard to manage?

[rough field]

For content all of the above.

For the big projects it can if you let it too, I try to think ahead and avoid possible technical debt and whenever things start to feel messy I take a step back and fix the issue before it becomes a serious problem.

[plush horizon]

When things start getting messy, what usually causes that?

And how much time do you think you spend fixing those issues?

[rough field]

Unforseen scale and complexity requirements, for example if you start working on a new system, you plan for what you need now and design the whole architecture based on that, but if in the future you start adding more and more to said system based on other unplanned needs, it will reach a point of scale the original architecture was not designed to handle, so it requires refactoring which can take a few days even weeks depending on system complexity.

[plush horizon]

That makes a lot of sense 👀

When that happens, what do you usually do to fix it?
And how painful is that process for you in terms of time or effort?

[hushed hamlet]

For me,

#1 most time is usually close off. Getting final approvals negotiating final decisions.

Most frustrating, uhm maybe needing to balance work with BD.

Finally what tools I use the most. Git. Engines. 3d modeling software. Music software. 2D and vector art software. But visual studio is what I use the most, as I use it for many languages and projects. And blender.

[plush horizon]

That’s interesting 👀

When you say final approvals and decisions, what usually makes that process slow or difficult?

And how does switching between work and BD affect your productivity?

[hushed hamlet]

For final approvals, they always want an extra inch, but the cost comes from somewhere.

For BD, I'm not sure if affects my productivity per say, other than taking up time. I just dont like doing it

I like people and I'm good at it. Just if I had a choice...

[rough field]

Just rethink the architecture based on the current scale and what you can predict for the future.

As for pain it really depends on how you designed the system originally, that's why you have to always make systems modular and easily expandable, so during a refactoring you can just move the existing logic around with as little modifications as possible.

[plush horizon]

Thanks, that’s really helpful 🙏

In your experience, what usually makes it hard to predict how a system will evolve or scale over time?

And can you think of a recent situation where you ran into that?

[rough field]

You simply just can't account for everything, you can't know what needs your system will have 1 year from now.

Yeah, my unity package, I had to go through 2 refactorings with it.

[plush horizon]

That’s really interesting 👀

Just one last question from my side:
What usually triggers those refactors for you?
And roughly how much time do they end up taking?

Thanks a lot for all your answers, I really appreciate it 🙏
If I can ever help you with something as well, feel free to reach out!

[rough field]

It's mostly a feeling, when your code starts becoming more convoluted as you add things and notice ways stuff can be handled better.

The first refactoring took 1 month, mostly because I also swapped to a new API along with redoing the whole architecture, the second refactor was mostly just architecture and it only took 1 week.

[grizzled shell]

I'm currently using Unity 2022.3 and was wondering if there’s any way to connect MCP with Codex or Claude in this setup.

[latent meadow]

check for assets on the store that enable it. IDK if any are 2022. actually, IDK what MCP is either, but that would be the place to find it. or google for possible github projects

[grizzled shell]

Thanks! I’m currently using a third-party plugin from GitHub for this. Do you happen to have any recommendations or know of any MCP plugins that work well?

[latent meadow]

pretty sure i just literally said IDK what MCP is.

IDK = i don't know

[wary adder]

need help when i make a world i cant upload it to vrchat please help

[latent meadow]

there is no vrchat support here. you'd need to ask their server

[sly lake]

UnityMCP is the popular one but honestly it's slower than just doing the damn thing yourself lol

[torn flume]

Chat, I’m currently learning Development on Roblox but recently been considering moving to Unity or fullstack webdev due to the absolute lack of care and lack of good updates, they now require you to be 18 AND have an active Roblox Plus subscription just to publish your game which completely throws away all teenagers that find Roblox development as a source of output and as a hobby like myself, the fact that they give you a free database, multiplayer, character models (avatars), chat service, servers, all of that for free is really nice but I don’t want to be supporting a company that is actively digging its own grave, if you have any thoughts or opinions to help me decide what path to follow then PLEASE reply.

[abstract umbra]

Do you also have to pay for roblox subscription if your game doesnt require a server?

Download server doesnt count

[torn flume]

No so basically what the subscription is, is it’s a monthly fee that gives you benefits like free private servers within other games, you also get other stuff but it’s just to publish the game to accessible on the Roblox platform that requires ID and the subscription

[brave ridge]

Youre asking a unity server. Your suggestions here are gonna be from people who primarily used unity
Its up to you if you want to abandon roblox studio. The most we can really say is that unity will be harder as most of the premade roblox functionalities dont exist in unity by default.

[torn flume]

It’s security so somebody can’t make an alt then publish a (I can’t say what the name of the game is but it’s a NSFW game used by nvm I won’t say)

[torn flume]

Yeah so I’m wondering how much harder is Unity if yk what I mean like I just want to if it’s worth

[brave ridge]

If you are legally barred from roblox due to age restrictions, talk to your parents or trusted adults about working with them to do it. Tbh id assume youll find the same restrictions on any site. Steam requires your identity too

[latent meadow]

basically, all of that is included in Unity too. there are over 10000 free assets on the store. up to a certain amount, chat server, etc, is free through #1390346533127458889 (unity gaming services). they do not have a 'free server' for actual multiplayer.

oh. i think you need to be 18 too. NM

[torn flume]

Aw

[proper cairn]

True, I should have specified better

[torn flume]

Shucks

[brave ridge]

Theres no quantifier to give you here. Its harder because you need to build systems yourself for the most part. It depends on your goals too
You arent replicating a server client system in unity easily.

[torn flume]

Anyway. Thanks for your help guys

[torn flume]

Yeah I understand

[brave ridge]

realistically look into just getting someone older who can help you. Idk many places where people publish games but even steam requires a $100 usd deposit (which you get back if the game makes decent money)

[abstract umbra]

Yeah, well, all engines have their pros and cons, but asking in the discord of one of them, its probably expected that we wont send you elsewhere because "we sit here, dislike unity but keep using it 😄 "

[proper cairn]

dislike unity but keep using it
That's a valid opinion to have tbh if you consider that this doesn't mean there is a better alternative just lying around

[torn flume]

Yeah ay I didn’t think about that, obviously asking on directions whether or not to move to Unity isn’t going to get the answer that’s in my best interest, anyway, I appreciate the help

Have a great day everyone (OR NIGHT)

[arctic portal]

i got this tunnel model that will be instantiated over and over for an infinite road. whats the best way to go on about the lighting? there will be moving cars so i will need shadows and i would like to save performance where i can too

[slow dirge]

There's no best way. Just do it the most dumb way, then test and profile. If there's a performance issue, analyze the bottlenecks, come up with a solution, rinse and repeat.

[rose junco]

Hey guys, I'm trying to learn Unity, but is it friendly for low-end devices?

Because my six-year-old laptop is very weak now, with just an R5 3500U and 8 gigs of RAM.

[slow dirge]

It depends on what project you plan on working on. The most important part that you didn't mention is what gpu you have.

[rose junco]

I use an igpu called "vega 8"

[abstract umbra]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/system-requirements.html
You can check minimum requirements

[slow dirge]

You're probably not gonna have great time with an igpu.

[arctic portal]

i was going to bake the emmision material and use realtime lights for shadows. but baking takes 22 business days on my laptop 😭 which realtime lights should i use?

[rose junco]

But... that doesn't mean I can't make a game... right?

[slow dirge]

Probably. Check that it complies the min requirements shared earlier.

[rose junco]

Ok, thanks

[slow dirge]

Baking is only gonna work with static objects. If you're gonna instantiate your tunnels at runtime in different positions, there's not much point

[hidden panther]

hey I have a really hard time recreating the post processing I used on global volume after switching to URP, does someone have this struggle? I need advice

[abstract umbra]

Dont you have it already installed? If not just install and see how it works, its free

[arctic portal]

oh i see. which lights should i use though? directional doesnt help, neither does spot or point

[copper gust]

why doesn't spot and point help?

[arctic portal]

it wouldnt be a smooth singular light right? it would be patchy since i'll have to use more than one

[slow dirge]

Well, that's exactly what street/tunnel lights look like.

[arctic portal]

true true but in my case i have straight light right? i'll experiment with them but if i wnt a smoother look how can i achievee it?

[slow dirge]

Ah, I see. Area lights then.

Depending on what platforms you target and how high fidelity of a project you intend it to be, hdrp might be an option.

[arctic portal]

isnt it baked only?

[slow dirge]

I don't think so..? Where does it say that?

[copper gust]

area lights are baked only yeah

[slow dirge]

Ah, actually the docs say that.

[arctic portal]

is it coz my version?

oh

[slow dirge]

Well, then you don't have too many options. A lot of overlapping spot/point lights or give up on shadows and just use ambient light.

[arctic portal]

aww okay thanks

[latent meadow]

realistically, you should look to godot engine, or a dedicated lightweight 2D engine

i have a question about importing a mp4 into a scene

rn i have imported one but its stuck to the camera view is there a way to place the video down somewhere or only play it at a certain point?

[tropic oyster]

what's an efficient data format for a data layer that corresponds to tiledata coordinates?

ie
chest at 1,4 has these items
furnace at 4,6 has these items

[rough field]

2D array

[tropic oyster]

negative values pose a problem. and I was more so talking about the underlying data, if the structure is variable

[vivid cedar]

Dictionary<Vector2Int, TileContents>

[tropic oyster]

That makes sense. For Contents though, if it is tile level data, should it be json? binary? a data type that has every possible field?

[vivid cedar]

json and binary are storage formats

Contents would be a class

don't confuse the storage format you use for serialization with the runtime type

the data type you need there really depends on the domain of possible things you could store there

[unkempt anvil]

also chests content lookup definitely is not a hot loop, don't overthink it

[tropic oyster]

I guess I'm ultimately trying to create a scaleable world data format. I'm thinking there is a dict that maps coords to string (used for metadata lookup). And then coords mapping to the actual data itself

so if I had 1,5
there would be a map that says "there is a chest" here and the static data and behavior of chest would be in a lookup. but the dynamic data idk how to format

[vivid cedar]

well the chest would likely just have an ID, and yeah the contents of various inventories could simply be another dictionary of those IDs to "inventories"

[tropic oyster]

I guess I'll probably need a dictionary for every type of state data, to store IDs and stateDataType

[vivid cedar]

what is "state data"? Also maybe we should make a thread

[tropic oyster]

or did you mean thread somewhere else lol

[soft brook]

If anyone is interested in the current offer, they can go ahead and buy it

Sales

[soft brook]

There is come flash sales

[latent meadow]

that is the sale that is going on. they show you the original price, then the discount that you actually pay

[soft brook]

Still 2.25$

[latent meadow]

for about 9 more minutes i think

[west canopy]

hello

[near wigeon]

https://nohello.net

[severe oxide]

Why can't I load anything on the unity asset store? Logged out it works fine, but once I log in, I can only see main pages and no product pages.

[near wigeon]

have you tried deleting browser cache ?

[severe oxide]

I've tried different browsers.

Same thing, essentially.

[near wigeon]

they most likely having issues. Try back later

[severe oxide]

Yeah it seems that way. Just wondering if anyone else is having those issues, or if my account is borked.

[near wigeon]

the server is 502 so yes.

[severe oxide]

Phew.. not just me. Hopefully they fix it before some of these sales change their prices. >.<

[latent meadow]

next price change is in about 11 hours. they will most likely have it fixed well before then

[near wigeon]

strange that nothing showing on https://status.unity.com

[severe oxide]

I'm betting someone broke the code for displaying asset pages to logged in users.

[latent meadow]

usually doesn't. i stopped bothering with the status page. genereally shows only half the things, and usually after they are fixed :/

it's working fine here

[severe oxide]

Works fine when you're not logged in.

[near wigeon]

ya could be regional, I still cannot get in

[balmy kettle]

it won't show up on the status page until unity is actually aware of the issue and working on investigating it

[near wigeon]

dang..hopefully someone gets alerted of this

[severe oxide]

I bet they have logging set up and are going to be alerted of the increase in server errors.

[latent meadow]

oh, i think it was pulling from cache.. i am logged in, but it is now having issues

yep: Error: Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.

[near wigeon]

yea for me even not logged same issue just takes longer but worked

[severe oxide]

Oh, maybe it was just pulling from cache when I wasn't logged in. No clue.

[latent meadow]

man, glad i grabbed obi cloth right before it went south

[latent meadow]

interesting. i just learned that alpha clipping falls under Opaque overdraw cost and not Transparent Overdraw cost.

[dim wind]

Anyone ever had anything like this before?

Build + run taking so much longer just to test the multiplayer quite frustrating lol

[near wigeon]

1 first time builds always take longer..
2. now days noone makes a build just to test multiplayer..
you either use ParrelSync or unitys built in MultiplayerPlayMode package

[dim wind]

its compiling and prepping the exaxt same amount of variants and takes the same time no matter what build # it is, also are those able to run with Photon? i thought i needed to build run everytime to test

[near wigeon]

ParrelSync does support it afaik

there is an initial cost of space / loading the clone but after that you can pretty much instantly test the changes / playmode on two or more clients

[gray frigate]

oh dear

oh, it's not trying to COMPILE 18 billion shader variants

Shader keywords are used to compile different variants of a shader for different situations

Unity has to at least consider all of the combinations (even if it doesn't try to compile them all)

I am still surprised by how large that number is

[soft brook]

Once you’ve left this site, I’ll have a shop too

[storm sierra]

I am going to compile all my code using the Ill2CPP, is there anything I should know from someone who has done this before?

[gray frigate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/managed-code-stripping.html

this is the big thing that jumps to mind

wrong page though, whoops; this is just talking about code stripping in general

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/scripting-backends-il2cpp.html

you'll want to read through the Limitations page

IL2CPP needs to be aware that a certain type will actually be used, or it may not get compiled

so if a type is only ever referenced via reflection (or certain code only runs via reflection), you can have problems

[vivid cedar]

Il2CPP is the default in most unity projects

so... yeah a lot of people have done it

[modest meteor]

i thought mono was the default
you have to install il2cpp separately

[vivid cedar]

Not for like 10+ years

OK I'm aexaggerating. Il2CPP became an optiobn for desktop platforms in 2018 and became the default in 2021

[balmy kettle]

mono is still the default, at least for desktop projects, il2cpp has to be explicitly enabled

[vivid cedar]

Are you sure about that? Pretty sure it's the other way around for almost 5 years now

[sand harbor]

Does anyone know how why my NavMesh Surface doesnt turn blue when i bake it?

[near wigeon]

do you have gizmos on?

[balmy kettle]

i've made projects in versions as recent as 6.4's beta and they defaulted to mono

[sly lake]

It’s not even included by default

[vivid cedar]

it's not detecting whatever surface you're trying to bake. Are you sure you want to be using Render Meshes instead of Physics Colliders for example? You need to check all the settings and the layers

[sly lake]

Has to be installed separately

[sand harbor]

How do i turn them on?

[balmy kettle]

also yeah, il2cpp isn't installed by default either

[storm sierra]

Thank you for the links, I am reading through them now

[sand harbor]

I am not sure, I never did nothing with AI

[vivid cedar]

How do you install it then?

[gray frigate]

it requires separate build support

[balmy kettle]

it's a module

[vivid cedar]

Am I getting confused by Android projects or something?

[sand harbor]

Where?

[near wigeon]

iirc its default only for IOS / Android too ?

[balmy kettle]

yeah, android has it by default

[near wigeon]

go to the 3 dots you probably have to enable the bar (overlay menu)

[vivid cedar]

isn't that the main windows build support module?

[gray frigate]

no, that is not

[balmy kettle]

nope, that's the one specific for il2cpp. the mono one is default

[gray frigate]

Android demands AOT compilation, iirc

[vivid cedar]

I see. ok guess I was wrong

[balmy kettle]

i thought mono was an option for android

[vivid cedar]

I still think Il2CPP is pushed/recommended by Unity for most projects, as long as you don't have some hard requirement on Reflection.emit or something

https://unity.com/how-to/project-configuration-and-assets#switch-to-il2cpp

[gray frigate]

i tried it once on my macbook and it exploded in extremely confusing ways

i should try again

[sand harbor]

Oh wow, lots of stuff

[balmy kettle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/scripting-backends-intro.html
yeah, i knew i wasn't crazy

[near wigeon]

dang you been working without that on?

it has very important tools like grid snap etc

[sand harbor]

Yeahh, didnt know that existedd

I hated not being able to see the camera object

Uhh it's blue now, but i dont really understand then why it keeps saying this

"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh.
UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent:SetDestination (UnityEngine.Vector3)
EnemyAI:Update () (at Assets/Scripts/EnemyAI.cs:41)

[vivid cedar]

Armv7 is super old isn't it?

[near wigeon]

without seeing the setup we can only guess..
the agent is probably not close enough to the navmesh or its disabled somehow

[vivid cedar]

I think most new phones are not on armv7

[sand harbor]

Does this help a little?

I dont even know why he falls through the floor

[vivid cedar]

Your animation

The green capsule as you can see is still firmly above the floor

And that's the part that matters for the physics

[near wigeon]

also you should really not mix rigidbody and navmesh agent unless you lock constraints / kinematic

[sand harbor]

Ohhh, okay, yeah, fixed that, but now what?

[sand harbor]

So it would be better without rigidbody?

[near wigeon]

they both fighting control over transform

there are cases where its ok, like you can keep a kinematic one and if you need some sort of knockback with physics you'd make it dynamic for a second while navagent is disabled and then reenable again

[sand harbor]

Huh, okay, Imma get rid of it

[scenic skiff]

okay so, quick question. a unity modder I know has argued in favor of using NaN as a blend shape value in a model to "hide" body parts instead of storing them away inside the model itself

am I mad for thinking that's a horrible idea?

[sand harbor]

Wait why is he in the ground now???

[near wigeon]

thats where your navmesh agents "feet" are

see the bottom of the cylinder

you should fix up the offsets, also put your pivotmode thing to Pivot not Center

[brisk anvil]

can anyone try accessing the asset store?

The website won't load for me

[near wigeon]

still down

[brisk anvil]

worked fine just 2 hours ago

[brisk anvil]

Oh didn't know it was down

[sand harbor]

Ohhh okay, thank you!

[sand harbor]

I did itt

[severe oxide]

Slower than usual? I can't even load the purchase pages. 😅

[arctic portal]

what is semaphore.waitforsignal? how can i fix it?

[latent meadow]

good to know the status page says everything is great. i was starting to get worried :/

[soft brook]

Yeah mee to

Try diffrent browser, but too slow

[latent meadow]

it's literally the website. no amount of browser swapping will change it

googling "semaphore.waitforsignal" and reading the unity discussions forum (the first page to show up) seems to suggest it's waiting for a thread from your gpu. so something to do with that

[latent meadow]

if you have vsync enabled, turn it off and test again

[arctic portal]

okay thanks

i'd be concerned if their monitor had a refresh rate of 3.57 Hz (1000/ 279.66)

[latent meadow]

indeed

[latent meadow]

not that i want to entertain this much more, but go to a page you have not visited before on the site. be logged in

[near wigeon]

the issue is narrowed down to being logged in, on the left you're not logged in

[soft brook]

lets try

[soft brook]

Mmh true

What's the deal with the asset store? I understand the spring sale is going on but damn... I haven't been able to get to the asset pages all morning. I had the same issues yesterday too.

really, Im legit doing my uni work fucking useless engine

ue better then this

[near wigeon]

how does the engine have anything to do with a website for assets ?
stupid comparison

[brisk totem]

the store has always been crap

[abstract umbra]

@nav You clearly haven't tried to download any of your asseets through the Package Manager today, because it's also hosed.

[brisk totem]

no matter the time. its always slow and crap

[near wigeon]

so go to UE if you think that store is much better, clown

[brisk totem]

Lmao cannot can i ? Im forced to use this ahh engine

[violet thunder]

Tell your professor that unity servers had problems instead of bitching here

[near wigeon]

but none wants to hear your whine about it , especially based on asset site

[near wigeon]

it works 99.7% of the time 🤷‍♂️

[latent meadow]

well, crap. that is significantly more annoying than the store being down

[near wigeon]

I rarely use assetstore assets anyway, so it don't affect me at all

[abstract umbra]

Sure, but you can't blame somebody for being frustrated when it doesn't, especially on time-dependent tasks. Just over here gate-keeping annoynance and shit, lol.

[near wigeon]

blaming the entire engine based on simple assets site being down is a+ clown behavior , bitching about it here wont do anything

[storm patio]

well, this is an official space that kinda has semi-professional expectations

[abstract umbra]

Eh. Fair enough.
