[brisk totem]

well I came here for answers not grown men be dicks

[near wigeon]

I would consider rereading your first unsolicited reply to me

[latent meadow]

the answer is, that store is down. nothing anyone here can do. either hope you have the assets you need already downloaded in another project, or wait. start gathering info so you can prove to your teacher that this was an issue beyond your control.

What happened to the asset store servers?
Maintenance or just down/other issues?

[indigo sierra]

Ah, same problem as yesterday.
Sorry, the banner wasn’t showing for me anymore, so I assumed the issue had been fixed.

[rustic adder]

That banner is new. It's nice to know that they're actually aware of the problem now.

[clever kindle]

USS URLs can't specify a specify an asset contained within an AssetBundle, can they? It seems like a strange exclusion, but I can't seem to find anything indicating that it can.

[vagrant portal]

Hello,
Quick question: given the current latency issues preventing us from fully taking advantage of the offers, will they be extended?
Thx

[storm patio]

this is a community server, we can't definitively answer that

[vagrant portal]

Oh thx, sorry

[storm patio]

someone might have an educated guess if they've seen past events, but there's not going to be a 100% certain answer

[latent meadow]

they have been extended in the past, yes .. iirc

@vagrant portal but if you have particulars in mind that you want to purchase, perhaps email Unity support expressing interest in either having the current deal honored, or a query as to if they will be extending the offers

[tropic oyster]

How are you supposed to load things sequentially in unity when all the initialization is async

Like I never know if one Awake will get called before another. And script execution order is bad practice

[azure grove]

why you have Awake and Start

use Awake for intenral setup stuff, once you get to Start you can assume everything has already done awake

this will work pretty well for most cases, but if you have ones where that still is not good enough, expose your own public method, and have a bunch of objects managed by 1 system that calls its own init on them one by one

[tropic oyster]

I think the latter is what I might need to do

[azure grove]

especially if its stuff i am instantiating my self i tend to end up putting my own public SetData or Init methods on things i call right after creating the instance

that way i can pass any depednencies in and do all the init in that

for stuff already in scene, the combo of making proper use of Awake vs Start and using Serialized references is good enough in most cases

once and a while i will have a manager type component where i do manually set its execution order to be before all the normal scripts or after then in the init order

[plain dagger]

I basically always end up doing manual initialisation because id rather control it all

trying to only use Start/Awake will probably just make design worse

[severe oxide]

Store looks like it's working again.

Wowwwwwwww

thank you for directing me to unity's learn? 💀

[potent geyser]

You're welcome

[lavish sleet]

I was askign something about code bro like what

[copper gust]

if you want a more specific answer you'd need a more specific question

[potent geyser]

No you weren't

[lavish sleet]

Well whatever

I was asking for help not unity's learn

[potent geyser]

You were asking for help learning Unity.

[lavish sleet]

Exactly not to be directed to the website

but ok

so can i ask or no

[copper gust]

if you want help with a code question feel free to post in #💻┃code-beginner

[lavish sleet]

Mk

yk nevermind im just gonna deal with it

[potent geyser]

You didn't say not to be directed to Unity own learning tutorials.

Basic communication goes a long way.

But yes you can ask a specific question, sure.

[lavish sleet]

Basic sense goes along the way aswell

I know, hence my answers.

are you a bot

[stuck flower]

Yes, it does. So when asking "How do I get started in unity" you should probably expect to be directed to the starter unity guide

[lavish sleet]

I didnt even say how do I get started in unity

and IM not wasting my time here arguing with mods

[stuck flower]

Fair, you were even less specific than that

[potent geyser]

Careful, the detective will out you as a bot. They go for the throat with that wit.

[shadow heron]

You can always leave...

[potent geyser]

Anyway, what even is the question?

[lavish sleet]

Because I asked for help first?

[lavish sleet]

I understood it anyway

I've searched and posted elsewhere and haven't found anything. I'm currently playing around with URP PSX shaders and have this issue where when I move around both in the scene view and the game view there are these black shadows on the terrain that appear and jitter around when I move. I've found that they disappear when I disable shadows on the terrain but I'm not sure that thats the best solution because I may want shadows later. Not sure if its a common issue with shaders or not but I can't find anything after browsing around for the last hour or two. Would appreciate some help or ideas

[woven trellis]

Im not sure what has happened since updating to 6.4, but using the Multiplayer Play Mode, the Editor play window has issues with animation sync/desync lagging behind a bit. However all my clients are fine. and if i build the game and we join each other via relay, everything is fine.

its just literally using the MPM and being in my editor that like.. bogs down my animations or something? (For example, itll play my animation, but the hit actually registers on the recovery part of my animation swing -> where i have resources declaring when the 'hit' should happen during the swing..,. and this works fine in built clients or clients in MPM. but for the editor.. its like it lags behind a few seconds)

[empty grotto]

any IK expert in here? I'm trying to add a dash skill to my mech and somehow the legs get messed up for a second

[slow dirge]

Sounds like possibly a framerate difference issue.

[mystic granite]

it is?

[floral coyote]

yeah im completely lost on this ive tried messing with the settings, can't find a single thing online about how to fix it but then again I'm not exactly sure what to search to find info on this I might just be searching the wrong things

[woven trellis]

Could you be a bit more specific?

Just so i can attempt to dive in.

[slow dirge]

Well, for example, if framerate is lower an animation could be moving a lot further away each update, so if you have several animation events in quick succession both could be called in the same frame.

Basically check the fps when testing in the editor vs the build.

[crude vale]

yoyo

using unity now since i was really decent at roblox development but i quit due to the new updates on roblox

[gleaming coral]

i quit playing roblox like almost a year ago cause the game for 5 year olds now lmao

what happened to roblox...

[stuck flower]

Nothing, it was always for five year olds you just stopped being five

[gleaming coral]

true, ig i just matured, but the game got boring and repetitive for me

now i barely game, i just make games :))), i dont really find playing games as fun as i used to

i remember i used to game 7 hours a day lol

[novel sable]

I have 2 VRMs in Unity, how would I copy the hair from one, and put it on the other? I've tried just simple copy pasting or duplicating and putting it there, but it warps and stretches and what not when I try to remove it from the original model to put on the new model

[surreal nexus]

I'm gonna have to restart my computer because my Unity License isn't showing up 😭

[hidden turret]

Why the ball keeps bouncing like that 🥀.

Also i added a script on the walls for restarting the game if the ball enters them .. but it is not working. what am i missing?

[hidden turret]

^ I made it moves forward endlessly, and the horizontal movement by inputs

[solid yew]

look at the rigidbody component on the ball. give it constraints so it doesn’t move along the Y axis

[hidden turret]

Hmm good point

Thanks

But for the wall, if i make it “Is Trigger” on, the ball just pass through walls

[solid yew]

yes, a trigger has no collisions

[hidden turret]

Like im trying to test if the player touches the collision but it doesn’t work even if I enable the trigger option

nvm it was a code error :)

[granite lava]

You mean this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.SyncTransforms.html
I remember Sebastian using this on his algorythm

Btw this doesn't really make it clear how this method works
Is it bad to call this method everytime a GameObject moves causing unnecessary extra processing or does it Queue logic tob e executed once on the next Physics frame or something like that?

[steep pawn]

where would I ask questions related to unity for vrchat lol

moving a transform that has an rb causes the rb to __de__sync

Hey, guys! Is there a keycode for the "Enter" key?

Because I have typed Keycode.Enter and I see only keypadEnter as a keycode.

[pearl oyster]

Imagine if that was the one key they left out

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.Return.html

[boreal river]

hahaha really

they are calling it return

[viscid raft]

A lot of keyboards have it as that

[latent meadow]

left over from typewriters. Carriage Return. Yes, i am THat old :/

same with the QWERTY layout, which Really should have defaulted to Dvorak with computers. it (QWERTY) was literally a compensation for the mechanical mechanisms, and their tendency to 'tangle'

[latent meadow]

Ah, yes Unity.. when i click on a prop in my scene, i Really wanted to select the Scene itself. :/

Oh, i see. it is because this tutorial scene is one giant prefab. unpacking it stops the strange selection

[sacred moon]

Hey I think coding is really hard !

What are your opinions?

[storm patio]

if it wasn't hard it wouldn't be a valued skill

it's a skill like any other, getting good takes effort and practice and time

[sacred moon]

Thank you! For giving your opinion to me

[zealous snow]

hi, i want to ask is it possible to make the animation in the end to back with idle animation with legacy animations

[polar basalt]

[polar basalt]

just manually put sorting fudge

it looks fine anyway

[wary adder]

trying to get a door on a build to be about to click to open but it not working i have box collider on it and mesh reader please help

[potent geyser]

It works in editor, but not in build?

[violet thunder]

Perhaps they mean "building" 🤔

[storm sierra]

Is there a way to tell how much performance cost something is on the unity asset store?

[gray dirge]

What does that even mean? The answer is probably "not directly from the store" regardless

[storm sierra]

I am trying to determine if it will use more memory, and cpu usage since my game uses them both quite heavily. I have to be careful to not go up in cost too much

[gray dirge]

What is "it"? There are a lot of different kinds of assets on the store. If your game is too heavy to begin with, maybe you should consider optimizing it

[storm sierra]

I have been optimizing it, I am also speaking in reference to many assets on the asset market. One for example is the realistic rope, by Obi Rope

[potent geyser]

Every little thing you add to the game uses "more memory and cpu usage". So if that's a concern, don't buy anything off the store.

[storm sierra]

I am trying to get exact numbers

[potent geyser]

It would be impossible to get an exact number

[gray dirge]

Buy it and profile. That's how you get exact numbers on your exact device

[storm patio]

how would you get an "exact" number with perf anyways, it would depend on so many things, like your cpu's temperature

[polar basalt]

try read reviews, it does seem something that is CPU intensive, as it should be, but it can only be worse, if it is just not optimised at all

[gray dirge]

There are no exact numbers. The best you can do when looking for assets is to carefully read the description, watch the published videos and read comments and reviews about the asset. Their video for example refers to "extremely fast particle-based engine", whether that refers to the CPU or GPU simulation or both I don't know. Most reputable asset providers try to deliver the best possible performance of course

[stuck flower]

Doing something is always slower than doing nothing. Best way to get maximum performance? Have nothing in your game

[worldly junco]

@small flame can you send me the discord france server please ?

[cerulean marsh]

Guys I made a game And when I open it’s saying It says that there was a problem parsing the package

How do I Fix it?

[vivid cedar]

You need to give us specific details here

What does "I made a game" actually mean? You made a build? What kind of build? How did you make it? How did you try to open it? What exact error message did you get? We need more information.

[cerulean marsh]

I opened it on my VR

[vivid cedar]

keep going

[stuck flower]

Saying what the error is would be a good start

[cerulean marsh]

All it said was there was a problem parsing the package

[vivid cedar]

you're really just not giving us enough information here on what you did and what you're seeing

show us

show us what your build looks like. How you made it. How you tried to open it

etc

[cerulean marsh]

I can sent a pic if u want

[cerulean marsh]

Like wym

that?

[vivid cedar]

keep going. Did the build actually succeed (check the console)? Did you try to move the build files around after it was done? What did you actually click to try to run the game?

[stuck flower]

So, where's the error

[cerulean marsh]

its on my vr

i opend it on vr and said there was a problem parsing the package

i used the package installer to open it on my vr

@stuck flower

[cerulean marsh]

yes it did and after i uploded it to itch.io

[vivid cedar]

ahah you're uploading to itch, this is important information

This is why I'm asking

[cerulean marsh]

then what am supposed to put it onn

[vivid cedar]

What exactly did you upload to itch? What platform is the build for? How are you playing it

[vivid cedar]

don't jump to conclusions

[cerulean marsh]

Android

idk

[vivid cedar]

These one word answers are really not super helpful

I don't have time to pull teeth like a dentist at the moment, sorry, I wish you luck.

Hi everyone, I’ve been developing games with Unity for over three years now. I'm currently looking to transition into a professional role within the industry and would love any advice or leads on junior/mid-level game developer positions. Is it difficult to find a job in this industry?

[latent meadow]

!collab check there

[worldly cave]

" Is it difficult to find a job in this industry?"

Hardest its ever been

and also the easiest it will be so far

[stuck flower]

People who have shipped multi-million dollar games on shoestring budgets are getting shitcanned left and right

This is the worst possible time to get into the industry, but probably one of the best times to be indie

[worldly cave]

Best time to start building gorrila tag fan games duh

[languid arch]

So basically in long term it’s better to work on your own commercial game than working for a company?

[potent geyser]

Definitely not? Working for a company means you're getting a paycheque ...

Working on your own commercial game has so many unknown factors and is very highly likely to fail both in completion and in monetization.

That said, do what a lot of people do which is both

[latent meadow]

the biggest question is, can you find a job in the industry? then, if so, can you keep it..

[potent geyser]

(myself included 😌 )

[azure grove]

working for a company i get to focus on what i am good at, like i have zero intersting getting good at marketing and business managment

[latent meadow]

that is true. as an indie, you have to do Everything, which often means, doing nothing very well.

[stuck flower]

Basically, there is no sure bet to make money in game development

you do it because you want to

[languid arch]

Yea right now I work as a glazier but I don’t want to do this job for my entire life. I like make video games and I’ve always been passionate about it so I thought that would be great to work for a company and then in my free time work on my own games

[azure grove]

so will warn if you make games as your day job, your passion to do it off hours for yourself will decline as the years go on

[languid arch]

I can relate

[novel venture]

for me if u go indie you have to be a one man army, but the part that needs to be perfect is the code and gameplay. the hard part is to find somone that knows what is doing, so the product can be higher quality

[latent meadow]

well, as a solo indie, You have to be the one who knows what he is doing, so, practice, study, practice! about all you can do, i suppose

@novel venture

[novel venture]

absolutely, wehn i finish my degree in CS i want to find some team, because the team for what i've learnd in cs is really important

[storm sierra]

Books are your best friend as a indie dev, I have learned more from studying c# than from any paid online classes

You thought this warranted trying to ping 50,000 people?

[quiet token]

no

[stuck flower]

So then why did you try

[quiet token]

I was just writing for someone who wanted to help me

[stuck flower]

What do you think an "everyone" ping does

[quiet token]

try what?

[stuck flower]

to ping 50,000 people

[quiet token]

I pinged everyone because I wanted to know who wanted to collab with me

[stuck flower]

So, you thought a fan game warranted sending push notifications to roughly the population of wyoming

you're very lucky it's disabled here

[quiet token]

bro why you are angry?

sorry

[potent geyser]

Mainly because people like you who do it here, likely do it everywhere, and in servers where it's unfortunately not disabled.

It's just obnoxious, all around. Either way, collab posts go to Unity Discussions. The bot message has the link for it.

[quiet token]

ok

[quiet token]

i can ask you i question?

[stuck flower]

Is it "please make my game for me" because you've been told where to ask that

[quiet token]

you know why I asked because it was my idea

[latent meadow]

if you have a Unity question, you can ask the room. otherwise, no, do not bother Moderators with questions. and Again, Read the #📖┃code-of-conduct

[quiet token]

ok chill

[latent meadow]

granted, i have been away from Unity for a while, but this makes no sense.
I add a light to an object with coordinates 0,0,0, but it is across the room from the object i add it to.

[vivid cedar]

Press Z to toggle between Pivot and Center mode for the tool handle position

[latent meadow]

did not change it (the placement)

oh, i see what you are saying though. the pivot of the AlienBox is where the light is :/ Ok, thanks

Unfortunately, it still adds it to the true Pivot, even when Center is set

it is what it is, as they say. i do more careful pivot placement on my own assets, so this shouldn't be a problem in the future. just a stray issue in the tutorial asset

[vivid cedar]

Yeah sounds like the light box's pivot is way off in the imported mesh

[foggy chasm]

hi

anyone knows a good tutorial to make car movement?

[storm patio]

try searching google

[foggy chasm]

ik but there are many tutorials that don’t explain well i was trying to see if you guys can suggest any

[latent meadow]

so you know, there are several 'car controller' assets in the Unity Asset Store. i am sure at least one is free.. might save you some headaches

@foggy chasm

[dusky forum]

Pick one. Try it. Ask questions.

[near wigeon]

there is no one size fits all solution, thats why

[peak marsh]

Does anyone know how to fix the problem when you can't install the Unity Editor? I know this is a relatively common issue, but none of the suggested solutions have worked for me yet.

[near wigeon]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

its too general

thats why

[storm patio]

that's your unity version

[old plank]

ya

[storm patio]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[near wigeon]

"too general" ?

[warped loom]

try to use vscode community version it helps a lot while coding

[storm patio]

that's not a thing. that's for VS

regardless, configuration is what would help here

[old plank]

like i dont want to read a whole article about one specific issue i would just get confused i asked wdym by configure because i assumed it was a one sentence answer

[old plank]

like unity version 2021?

[near wigeon]

this is more concise and to the point but you should still configure it
https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[remote needle]

ur gonna need to do that often

[old plank]

alr

[old plank]

i mean yeah but im assuming im asking simple questions

thats why i came here

[storm patio]

respectfully, as a beginner you don't know what questions are actually simple, so be prepared for complex answers lol

[old plank]

ya

[old plank]

ill do this first and read the article and if the issue still persists ill come back

[storm patio]

this won't fix any issues

it makes actual issues easier to fix by letting your ide help you

[near wigeon]

this is meant for you to be able to code properly

[warped loom]

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/features/universal-windows-platform/
this might help a lot

[near wigeon]

can we not confuse situations here.. thanks
this isnt even related to unity

[old plank]

oh i thought i had to delete everything and download an older version

[worldly cave]

You do not have to reply if its not going to be of any value

or funny

[storm patio]

no that's not gonna be necessary

[worldly cave]

everything is explained in the link

[old plank]

lol its ok

[near wigeon]

all you need to do is configure it so it works like this,

right now you're essentially "coding blind"

[old plank]

Oh i didnt think to do that because i added that component in unity alr

[worldly cave]

i think youre missing the point here

nav was demonstrating visual studios autocomplete (intellisense) that helps you code faster

theres also plenty of other valuable reasons to set your ide up properly

[near wigeon]

this isn't related to your specific issue of not saving. its related to having a configured editor so you can code properly in general

[storm patio]

(vscode)

[old plank]

ok ok

[worldly cave]

what does the vs stand for

[storm patio]

visual studio, which happens to be a separate ide

blame microsoft for the naming

visual studio code is abbreviated vsc or vscode

[near wigeon]

should've used a cool name like Copilot 😂

[remote needle]

rider is also a good option

[worldly cave]

ik i was just pointing out how the naming is stupid

[storm patio]

that's not an excuse to knowingly use the wrong acronym though

[worldly cave]

i didnt use any acronym though

if we are being pedantic

[storm patio]

whoops yeah mb, brainfart

you still used the wrong name

"visual studio" does not refer to vscode

[worldly cave]

i guess but my point stands technically for both ides

[storm patio]

(do the folks using visual studio community just.. not abbreviate community)

[worldly cave]

so think of it as me refering to the general enviroment of ides

[storm patio]

fair, i just think it's misleading to say nav is demonstrating something from vs

[old plank]

if i get c# down will c++ be easy

[storm patio]

if you get any programming language down, other programming languages will be easier

the first language is always the hardest

[worldly cave]

also i would argue for c++ and c# its kinda the opposite to be fair

yeah it will be easier to learn one after the other

but c# is notably a lot easier to figure out than c++ is

[old plank]

Ok

[storm patio]

as someone who's used many languages in non-trivial projects, the more languages you already know, the easier it is to pick up a new one

kinda like actual languages

[worldly cave]

yeah it really takes the most effort to just learn the first one

[old plank]

Im sorry to bother you guys about this but i actually dont rlly know what to do because i download the sdk net and reload the window and it keeps saying install and i even restarted vsc before and it does the same thing

[old plank]

that makes sense

[near wigeon]

they are in steps.. all you do is follow the sequentially..
did you read the experiencing issues part?

it says if you install the SDK

Logout or restart Windows.

[storm patio]

consider using the .net install tool within vsc to install .net, you'll only have to restart vscode

[old plank]

no I didn’t wanna restart my computer to be honest

[worldly cave]

feels like a non issue

[wooden pebble]

Hi! I wanted to ask about CoreCLR and what it is. As long as your opinions on it!

[worldly cave]

means we get to use C# 14.0

so basically we were missing out on 5 years of updates and new features

to put it simply

[wooden pebble]

Well wouldn't need alot of changes in projects since it is a new run time and framework??

[balmy kettle]

as long as you are targeting .net standard rather than .net framework you wouldn't need to make any changes really

[wooden pebble]

WEll doesn't this mean mono is going? Which also means modding is more difficult?

[storm patio]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_compatibility

[balmy kettle]

modding is likely to at least change a bit, but probably not astronomically

[worldly cave]

plus modders are nothing if not adaptable

so they will live

[wooden pebble]

Well I personally dont mod alot of games except sometimes minecraft(irrelevant here), RoR2 and Subnautica. But I heard modders having a hard time in the slime rancher community when the second game went from mono to IL2CPP

[wooden pebble]

Yeah true

[wooden pebble]

Unity is this far behind?

[worldly cave]

soon to be 6

[balmy kettle]

from the sound of it, there will still be a split between jit builds (like the current mono builds) and aot (il2cpp)

[worldly cave]

might be 6 if this doesnt come out before November

[wooden pebble]

Whoah

I knew it was behind but like 6yrs?!

[wooden pebble]

Looking on this reddit thread some people are saying that CoreCLR is as fast as IL2CPP

[balmy kettle]

being as fast as something else means nothing regarding how easily moddable it is

but yes, there will be fairly significant performance improvements with the switch

[wooden pebble]

Oh I know this but just I'm saying this because CoreCLR is JIT (I think) and IL2CPP is AOT

[worthy solar]

do yall think its possible to finish a FYP in 9 days with the gameplay being based on omori and undertale?

[worldly cave]

fyp?

[worthy solar]

final year project

[worldly cave]

in 9 days?

based on omori and undertale

no

[worthy solar]

Yup

[worldly cave]

the answer is no

well it depends by what you mean finish

did you at least start?

[balmy kettle]

the answer, as with anything where the question is "is it possible" is

[azure grove]

know one here knows what you mean by fyp and what that even entials and the requirements of it

but a game in 9 days as a show of your skill yeah no soudns like a terrible idea

[balmy kettle]

you can finish anything that you have the skill/knowledge to finish in the given time. but of course nobody but you truly knows what you do and don't know so any answer is really just a general estimate.
but also if you have to ask, then it's probably no

[worthy solar]

yes I got some what the dialogue to work and rpg fighting thing

[latent meadow]

it is unlikely you can even gather and place assets in 9 days, let alone write code, tune materials, animate anything, have a story, etc.

[balmy kettle]

if it's a game jam-sized game then it's definitely doable. it likely won't be the best showcase of what you can do though because you'll have to rush everything

[worthy solar]

I choose something ez and it doesnt need to look finished but mostly show all that i learned so if i make the code good the rest i can just say its because its only a prototype still

[worldly cave]

I mean you said omori and undertale inspired

it really depends on which parts of those games you aim to recreate

are you trying to create a narrative driven rpg experience like undertale with whatever omori is

i confused omori with something else for a sec there

[worthy solar]

I would say the narrative aspect with the choices having impact on the ending

nothing too over complicated

[lapis gate]

9 days I wouldnt do narrative unless you do have it all written out

[worthy solar]

but that still lends good marks

[lapis gate]

just do something arcadey

like just do the undertale combat mechanic

ect

[worldly cave]

you cant describe something complicated and then say "nothing too complicated" lol

[worthy solar]

yh my bad lmao

[worldly cave]

what you are describing is extremely ambitious

for 9 days, hell its ambitious for a month long project

[azure grove]

also your langauge is like we know what the hell this is even for and how its marked

[worldly cave]

Yeah honestly the fact you even have to ask like boxfriend said... the answer is most likely a resounding no

[worthy solar]

yeah thats fair

I think the idea itself isnt hard to achieve I just dont know how ill come with the assets and all that. the marking is mostly based on how it runs and what the game itself has as well as the theme which i got that covered. Since it doesn't need to be a final thing and mostly show what i learned I can just make a detailed prototype with the main stuff working and leave the rest as skeletons since I want to focus on the code itself but still have the story there. mechanics wise dialogue works, rpg choice based battle with 2 types that already kinda works, and different ending depending on which type you used mostly. and Yh im using AI so it is making it easier for me. overall its taking the karma system from undertale with the narrative of the game omori, and then add some extra stuff so it isnt a walking and talking simulator.

I think this sums it up a little better

[dawn axle]

Guys who has much unity experience in here?

[balmy kettle]

https://dontasktoask.com

[dawn axle]

Lol alr, so wanna make a 2D game but the unity rigging and animation system sucks, is it okay if I do it in blender?

I'm much stronger there

[worldly cave]

honestly if anything this explanation does not go in your favour lol

[storm patio]

unity can import fbx stuff, yeah

[worldly cave]

if you want to actually complete something in 9 days

strip it down

a lot

[dawn axle]

It works nice I already tried, just heard it has some performance issues

I mean if I just don't use many polygons is there like really a downside?

[dawn axle]

Chat gpt based info lmao

Cuz truly unity sucks

At animating and rigging

[worthy solar]

Yh thats probably going to be the way and buy some assets and just use the excuse that this is still a prototype with most mechanics jsut not polished looks wise

[azure grove]

the choice of exchange format will have zero effect on runtime performance

[worldly cave]

its a lot more complicated than that

[azure grove]

the fbx is only used for getting the data into unity, its not what is used at runtime

also its the standard way to get animations and models from a DCC to unity

[dawn axle]

Uhmm so who I have to trust?:_)

[worldly cave]

we are both telling you the same thing

[dawn axle]

Yeah but since I make a 2D game?

[worldly cave]

or rather, we are both correct

[dawn axle]

I know there shouldn't be problems for a 3D game

Wb a 2D one idk

[storm patio]

graphically less complex

[azure grove]

well what type of 2d animation do you want

many ways to approach it

[dawn axle]

It works for me, just worrying a bit abt performance

[azure grove]

just make your game

[dawn axle]

Alr, gotta listen to you

[azure grove]

if perf is a issue, you use the profiler to figure out why

how thigns effect perf really heavily depends on the approach used

but there have been many games that have done 2d sutff in blender or a dedicated tool like spine and brought it into unity just fine

[worldly cave]

also unity doesnt really make much of a difference between 2d and 3d... you could technically have 3d characters in your 2d game

[azure grove]

does add a bit of complication with sorting but there are ways to resolve that

[worldly cave]

if your game uses sprites thats a different conversation all together

[dawn axle]

using blender is much simplier for me

just have to remake the rigs actually for better ones

thoughts on ts?

[worldly cave]

if you prefer blender use it

theres no downside

Unity 6.3 TMP - Convert to SDF have a issue ? i tried in 6.2 and work perfecly fine but not in 6.3

but doesn't work when i create from 6.3

Apparently not urgent enough to actually say what the problem is, so I'll get around to answering it later

Weird bug im seeing with my editor... my inspector seems broken, for some reason clicking on any other object in the scene or different assets in my project folder does not change the inspector

only when i recompile, save the project or enter play mode does it update correctly

reseting didnt fix anything... issue persists

[charred fog]

and inspector is not locked?

[latent meadow]

i'd delete the Library and let it rebuild, presuming it is not locked ^

[worldly cave]

not locked

[worldly cave]

thats my last ditch attempt lol

i just didnt want to do it in case it was some odd setting or something i missed

guess i have no choice

[latent meadow]

i had to log out. did it work?

[worldly cave]

Yep

also figured out what was causing the issue

seems to be something to do with some custom editor scripts for the MxM asset

altough i cant consistently replicate it... i need to fix it before i start needing to delete my library folder every time i make a change 😔

[latent meadow]

interesting. i can't say i know what that is, even.
IDK why this crossed my mind, but maybe re-enable Domain Reload if disabled

[worldly cave]

Its an asset for Motion Matching

[latent meadow]

Ah

[worldly cave]

its basically abandonware now

so manual fixes here and there are expected for stuff like this

ill try check the Domain reload

thanks

[granite lava]

Hmm, I assumed he had his reasons to do it that way and that it was performant
Is it bad using that command on several actors on every frame?

[gray frigate]

Disabling Domain Reload will break code that expects static data to get cleared

notably, you can wind up with static events getting subscribed to over and over

after this my account was suspended

[sweet tartan]

well what you did looks exactly like fraud. Did you download the assets you bought afterwards? If you did, the ban will probably stand

[lucid aurora]

Yo, does anyone know how to fix this build error:

nothing was downloaded

I asked for a refund within 10minutes of the purchase

[sweet tartan]

you asked Unity? or you went to PayPal for a chargeback and made it look like you were trying to rip off Unity, getting yourself auto banned?

[coarse shore]

I put all the refund tickets in on unity, but the ai chatbot says it takes up to 4months for a refund to be sent

[slow dirge]

Sounds like an anti virus or lack of proper user rights🤔

[lucid aurora]

ah yeah, thanks! just turned them off in the settings and its starting to build

[coarse shore]

is this true?

[copper gust]

it's true that it varies significantly

[slow dirge]

Well, you have(had) to wait for unity to approve the refund. What you've done is basically ordered a burger in Macdonalds and run away with the money. Doesn't matter that you didn't like the burger and didn't even bite it.

[coarse shore]

wtf

I didn't even get the refund approved

I didn't even violate anything in 17.2 Use Restrictions

which leads to account suspension

well unity sent something

If it doesn't get approved I'll actually take them to court

[viscid raft]

I don't think you should be posting these things in this server, especially considering this is a community server that has absolutely nothing to do with this.

We literally can't help you with this in any way, nor should we in general

there's a unity admin here

[storm patio]

that guy in idle works for unity though

[storm patio]

so? they have no power over account suspensions. they can't help you

neither can anyone else that's active here

[coarse shore]

he is a community manager

I am in the community

[storm patio]

they aren't going to manage you specifically

the people that will actually have any effect on the issue you're having are not part of this community server

[coarse shore]

how so?

[copper gust]

by not being present

[storm patio]

unity employees don't use this server for work

other than the employees whose job it is to manage the server, like the community manager

[coarse shore]

but that guy's a community manager

[storm patio]

yes, and they aren't responsible for anything relevant to your issue

what do you think a community manager does

[coarse shore]

manage the community

[storm patio]

handle fraud investigations?

[coarse shore]

I don't see how it's fraud

[storm patio]

i'm not saying it is, i'm referring to unity needing to investigate potential fraud

it must suck to go through what your going through and i get your trying to resolve the issue but this server just isn't the route to a solution

[coarse shore]

[storm patio]

ok and what value do you think that will provide you? that your case will be expedited? that's not within their job description.

[copper gust]

that doesn't change the state of this discord

[coarse shore]

they can at least let me know why I was suspended

[storm patio]

they cannot

[coarse shore]

well they're a community manager, they communicate

your more than welcome to ping them and see the response or lack of response

[coarse shore]

so they gotta report stuff to someone

idk how to fix it who does

[storm patio]

the first one means you're using a type that doesn't exist (or it might come from a library that you haven't installed)
the second one means you're using a member that doesn't exist, you probably used the wrong type (though it might be caused by the first error)

Does anyone here have experience using ML-agents?

I want to make a reinforcement learning simulation-game thing and while Unity might not be the best option it's what I have installed now

Does Anyone Have Short Long Arms For My Gtag Fab Game?

bro i cant find it anywere

[storm patio]

this isn't an asset marketplace, you won't find any here either

consider making it yourself

[shrewd zenith]

im using unity 6000.3.3f1

if ive installed a package and it doesnt say "installed from ..." does that mean i didn't install it from disk

or does unity not show "installed from..." anymore (package manager)

[peak marsh]

Unity 6 replaced the 'Installed from disk' text label with a small icon, so the missing text doesn't mean it wasn't installed from disk. Check your manifest.json for a file: path to confirm

[stuck flower]

You say that like this is just a thing that everyone knows about. Like every user just had "short long arms for your fab game" just lying around, waiting to give them to you personally. Like you're on some mythic quest and we're all NPCs with key items waiting for The Light Warriors to arrive.

I really need help with importing videos to unity. I tried multiple things like converting the file from mov to ogg or webm and the error keeps appearing. Plus I cannot click onto Keep alpha even tho I am more than confident that the video I exported has transparent background. How do I make the webm video be usable and be transparent?

[latent meadow]

might have better luck moving your question to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[lilac nexus]

Okay, thank you

[storm sierra]

So I am getting closer to completeling a certain sub section in my project, to finish testing it out is there more tools I can use besides the profiler?

[potent geyser]

To test out what exactly?

[storm sierra]

That is actually my question, this is my first time ever building a system. So I am unsure of what I do after I test performance

Is there something else I should look for?

[gray dirge]

Maybe try whether it works?

[storm sierra]

It does

[stuck flower]

Is there a reason the profiler doesn't work?

[storm sierra]

It works just fine, I just was wondering if there is a way to test my system even more.

[stuck flower]

The profiler is the tool for profiling. If you want to do that, use it

[storm sierra]

I am essentially worried about a bug in my code I don't notice right now

[stuck flower]

Why look for an alternative if the given solution has no problems?

[potent geyser]

Bugs are found by playtesting, so playtest

[gray dirge]

Or writing and running unit tests. Haven't used it myself but unity has a Test Framework which allows doing that. Essentially best you can do is test as many edge cases and different scenarios you could think of and see whether it works as expected. No amount testing can ever guarantee bugless code though

[storm sierra]

I will look into this, ty

[prisma turtle]

It works! Thank you so much!

Does anyone know why double sided shader from ciconia studio is pink? I watched 3 videos and nothing helped

[potent geyser]

A shader error, most common being that you've made it or it was made for a render pipeline you're not using.

The shader is in a folder called builtin which is a good indication it was for made for the built in render pipeline. Which pipeline are you using?

[prisma turtle]

Im using HDRP

[potent geyser]

Okay, well, there you go.

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error, shader error usually means incompatible render pipeline

Use a shader compatible with your chosen render pipeline

[potent geyser]

Being that this isn't a standard lit shader from built in, you cannot use the upgrade wizard to convert it to HDRP. You have to do it manually.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@14.0/manual/Upgrading-To-HDRP.html#ManualConversion

[prisma turtle]

is there any other Shader that works for HDRP?

[stuck flower]

Lots

Literally infinite in fact

[gray frigate]

in this case, you'll want to just use the default HDRP Lit shader

it's appropriate for most use-cases

i see that this shader is called "Lite/Standard"

that means that it's supposed to be a physically accurate shader that uses:

• albedo/base color
• normals
• metallicness
• smoothness

to decide what the surface looks like

[prisma turtle]

fixed ✅

thanks

[gray frigate]

What textures do you have for that material?

you can screenshot the project window

[gray frigate]

hmm, it's not obvious to me which textures are meant to be used

it looked like "Repaint1 1" was plugged in in your first screenshot

[prisma turtle]

on the white part i want the Repaint11

[gray frigate]

put that texture into "Base Map"

the Base Map tells you the color of the material

[latent meadow]

very good time to say, there is a Creative Core Pathway on the learning site

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[prisma turtle]

ohh i got it now, it looks so much better now

[gray frigate]

It doesn't look like you have any smoothness/metallic textures

So you'll just want to adjust those sliders until it looks right

For a painted material, the metallic slider should be zero

and then smoothness can vary

a glossy material has high smoothness

[prisma turtle]

okay, i will do some adjustments

But this is bugging

[barren agate]

Please rate this...im making short animation for YT short content

[latent meadow]

if you do not have a question, you can post your work in a #1180170818983051344 . this is not a showcase room

[modest meteor]

did you make this in blender? you did something wrong when modelling this part then (you might have added smooth shading to a face that shouldn't have it)

[barren agate]

Ohh yes sorry

[barren agate]

Sorry

[prisma turtle]

Im looking at it in blender and i see the mistake i made

[latent meadow]

no worries. please remove from here as you post in #1180170818983051344

[rustic adder]

What's the deal with this flash deal? Today's biggest discount is 60% when banner says up to 95% off. I even watched the discount change on one of the assets. It started out at 80% off then a few minutes later it had dropped to 60% off... It's a total crap shoot.

[latent meadow]

can't disagree.

[latent meadow]

frankly, the store is always a mess. depending on which way you apply the filter, you will not see the deals properly. press here, and you will see some 95%

[exotic relic]

They have sales all the time. Sometimes they’ll even have sales where a ton of stuff is only $1 even if original price is $300

If you don’t need it, don’t buy it

[latent meadow]

i buy it in anticipation that i'll need it 😅

[exotic relic]

lol, yup I’ve had impulsive purchases but in the end years later still didn’t use the hundreds of assets I bought

Waste of money

[latent meadow]

indeed

[prisma turtle]

Better but still making something under the lights

[worldly cave]

bumping this in case anyone has any suggestions

[barren agate]

Click the original file on asset folder check on model option..set the normal to cslculate and raise the smoothing angles

[prisma turtle]

This?

[barren agate]

Yes

[prisma turtle]

still same

[worldly cave]

have you verified you have no duplicate geometry in blender and that your face orientation is correct?

[barren agate]

Screenshot full on this section

[latent meadow]

also, smoothing angle should be lowered, not raised

[latent meadow]

try 30

[barren agate]

Apply

[prisma turtle]

alredy did it

[barren agate]

Have you check the face on blender ? Maybe it has overlapping faces

[prisma turtle]

yes

i checked but its fine

[worldly cave]

wait is the issue here the shadow below?

or what

[prisma turtle]

yes

[worldly cave]

does it show up in play mode?

or just scene view

[prisma turtle]

play mode too

[latent meadow]

do you mean the shadow on the ground, or the broken shadow under the protrusion?

[prisma turtle]

this

[latent meadow]

turn off contact shadows and ambient occlusion

[worldly cave]

i feel like this might just be related to your shadow settings in your render pipeline

and not the mesh itself

[violet thunder]

Could very well be bad tangents on the mesh though

[latent meadow]

yeah, could be. turning off the mentioned should show more

[violet thunder]

That usually gives these gross grainy artifacts with AO and other effects

[prisma turtle]

i got idea

i fixed it somehow

idk how but i did it

[thin scroll]

Does anyone know when Speedtree will be purchasable again?

[latent meadow]

didn't know it wasn't

[thin scroll]

Do you have Speedtree?

[latent meadow]

i am downloading for linux right now.. can you explain the issue you are having?

[thin scroll]

Well I have Speedtree learning edition. But I have no idea how to buy an indie license

[latent meadow]

i have no idea. since the move to the Unity site, instead of the Speedtree site, i cannot see how either. looks like it may be a web page error. your best bet is contacting Unity Support directly

@thin scroll

[thin scroll]

Ok. I did send an email to "[e-mail]" two days ago. But no answer

[latent meadow]

sadly, it will take a lot longer than 2 days. turn around is often rather slow

[thin scroll]

I'll just have to wait then😭

[latent meadow]

https://store.speedtree.com/?v=0b3b97fa6688

yes, it is a known issue

Short version, No, you cannot buy it right now.

but, this page Might have a workaround. best to read the whole thing

[thin scroll]

What kind of workaround would that be?

[latent meadow]

"If you are a new user looking to get set up during this transition period, here’s how to get up and running:

1. Download the software
2. After installing, follow the instructions in the installer to request a license key.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach us at [e-mail]
We thank everyone for your patience and understanding. "

as posted on the linked page..

[thin scroll]

"After installing, follow the instructions in the installer to request a license key"

This step never happens when I install it. So I have no idea what it means🙁

[latent meadow]

i'd suggest emailing them then

oh, you did. for some reason i thought you emailed Unity support. yep, waiting game then

[thin scroll]

I guess so

Well thanks for trying to help me

[urban mountain]

Hello, everyone

[green valve]

I'm doing a stylized Top-Down game with run-time procedural dungeons using URP.

Are any of the GI solutions on the Asset Store worth it, or can I achieve good lighting without one of those solutions?

I'm on a performance budget, ideal is ~90 FPS on a Steam Deck (to which I am looking forward to better Steam / Linux support coming), so I don't want to eat it all in lighting lol..

[latent meadow]

probably should talk to #1391720450752516147 about that

[worldly cave]

look at the kronnect assets

i.e they are generally considered the best bang for your buck

[feral pike]

what collider should I add to the racket (also taking into account that the racket will have a swinging mechanic)?

[near wigeon]

make a simplified mesh of the racket thats convex and use that in a mesh collider as convex

[balmy kettle]

or you could use one or more box colliders to approximate it

[storm patio]

i feel like you could use a single cylinder collider there if that's a thing?

[worldly cave]

dont think those exist

[balmy kettle]

unfortunately i think that's only the in the dots physics package

[worldly cave]

which is odd

[storm patio]

apparently not

rip

box colliders it is then

[feral pike]

erm

[worldly cave]

you have a sort of "cylinder collider" with the navmesh agent

weird they didnt add one

[worldly cave]

which object did you add the collider to?

[latent meadow]

thinking ahead to the next issues, the simplified mesh that nav mentioned seems like the best option

[near wigeon]

agents are not part of physics thats prob why

[worldly cave]

i know im just saying

the shape is there lol

[storm patio]

physx doesn't know/care about unity navagents

[near wigeon]

you could always create the cylinder with Probuilder and use the mesh collider there
(kinda circling back to my original suggestion)

[worldly cave]

ik it wasnt an actual suggestion

just pointing out a weird inconsistency

[feral pike]

ah right, i should've add it to the mesh object

[near wigeon]

if you resize the mesh and have a meshcollider on separe object but with same mesh as input you will get weird matchup

[near wigeon]

it works but not really optimized hence the suggestion of using a simpler primitive

[worldly cave]

Or a cube

honestly a cube might be the best approach here

[feral pike]

i know using box colliders is much efficient but I don't think i can cover the entire racket

[near wigeon]

cube works too but its not precise

[worldly cave]

you can cover it

at least the part you want to have collisions im assuming

[near wigeon]

depends how much precision you need

[worldly cave]

it wont be precise but it gives you a bit more leeway with the collisions themselves i suppose

near misses can be hits

[vivid cedar]

I'd probably do one capsule for the handle and then a simplified "map pin" shaped mesh for the main part

[latent meadow]

the future issues i was referring to are accuracy of the ball being deflected

[near wigeon]

try the probuilder tbh. Make a cylinder with the built in wizard and use mesh collider (convex for physics)

[potent geyser]

The proper workflow here would not be to put a mesh collider on the racket you have, but import a collider object that is much lower poly and roughed out to the hit area of your racket and mesh collider that.

[near wigeon]

😏

[potent geyser]

Yeah but probuilder 🤢

[near wigeon]

if you're in a pinch and don't know blender xD

[latent meadow]

lol, yeah, it all went south after the initial correct suggestion 😄

[near wigeon]

if you only need the hit areacollider, its as easy as the shapes included 🤷‍♂️ but yeah or just simplify it in blender or sum

[worldly cave]

you could make a cube by setting the sides count to 4

[near wigeon]

true it just comes rotated

[storm patio]

that's a diamond prism then smh

[digital thicket]

Hello Deqioz, welcome to Unity discord

[cursive ibex]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with zooming
when I zoom out far from the objects they like getting inside each other and when I zoom in they get back to normal
Can anyone tell me how to solve it

[worldly cave]

Sounds like far and near clipping issues?

is this in the scene view?

[cursive ibex]

yes

[cursive ibex]

Tried it still the same

[worldly cave]

can you show us how it looks like

[latent meadow]

just as a test, select one of the objects, press F to focus it, then move around again. same?

[cursive ibex]

like this

[cursive ibex]

tried it still the same

[latent meadow]

oh, that is just strange. can't say i have seen that before. i'd check the Scale on those things to see if they are Really small, or even Really big

[worldly cave]

the import scale could be messed up

if it wasnt exported correctly

[cursive ibex]

that is weird because the scale is the same when I zoom in and out it still 1,1,1

[latent meadow]

yeah, zoom is visual, not scale in that sense

can you add a Cube to the scene next to these objects, for a scale check

[cursive ibex]

like this ?

that is strange it didn't behave like the other objects

it did stay still

[latent meadow]

yes. ok, so as long as you did ot change the scale of the cube, this does not seem to be a scale issue.
What do you mean? also, can you ensure the Floor, with the street, is at 1,1,1 scale

[cursive ibex]

If you mean the scale of the side walk is 7.51, 0.15, 8.98

but I did delete them still the same problem

[latent meadow]

ok, that should be fine, i think. have you saved the level and closed and re-opened the engine yet?

also, are these things all one big prefab, or are they separate objects?

[cursive ibex]

yes I did
and they are in big prefab

for example: the walls are in the same prefab and the street and trash are sperated

[latent meadow]

i do not know Why it is doing what it is doing, but i wonder, if you combine the walls into the same prefab, Or unpack all things Out of prefabs if it will still do it. seems like a problem someone would have seen before, i just have not. you might want to talk to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow as they might have

[cursive ibex]

Okay no problem thanks bro

[fierce shuttle]

Im on 6000.4.1f1, i keep getting weird errors with the inspector tab being all dark gray. has this been fixed yet?

[weary rain]

um i cant download unity hub

i click download and nothing happens

[heady gorge]

is there a way to check if something is in a shadow?

[weary rain]

help plezz

[latent meadow]

are you logged into the site?

[latent meadow]

you can always update and see. you are literally on the first release

[slow dirge]

In a shader, perhaps. Otherwise, not really. Though, you could sort of approximate it with raycasts and other physics queries.

[latent meadow]

you should talk to #1391720450752516147 . i know i did it once. i used amplify shader editor i think. i am not sure how i did it, or if it is possible with shadergraph, or if it requires HLSL directly. i used it to change pupil size based on light levels (or lack of, i.e. shadow). this was a while ago, and 5 operating systems ago, so i have no idea where my data is

i have no idea about other methods

[plain dagger]

Its tricky if you need to use real shadows as you would have to get the last/current directional shadow map and sample it cpu side

[weary rain]

i fixed it i have it installed

[latent meadow]

i seem to recall one of the methods i used was a separate camera just measure a small space to check the light intensity

[heady gorge]

i was thinking of a mechanic where a player could sort of try to hide into shadows. not for any particular project just to see if its possible

[plain dagger]

Using a camera to render a region is how shadows get created anyway, render some region depth only and use that later in lit shaders

[latent meadow]

beyond me to access that data, so i just hacked through it. aim a small camera at the player, low res, measure the values from it vs base, and use that to determine if in shadow or not. that i probably how i would do it

[slow dirge]

It's not like you can't access it. It's called cpu readback. You can get back any texture or buffer from the gpu it's just costly and requires proper sync point.

[latent meadow]

Ah

[slow dirge]

And then knowing how to read/interpret the data on the cpu is another issue too.

[plain dagger]

Yea if its a multi cascade shadow map then you need to figure out where to sample from

[latent meadow]

i'm liking my second cam idea more and more. now that i have been thinking about it, i am almost positive that is what i ended up using for the pupil dilation
