Probably

[dusk lichen]

what if the getcomponent is on a condition within the update

so its not firing every frame

still bad?

[radiant pewter]

as a general rule yes, but not necessarily

[latent meadow]

oh, you are probably right

[stuck flower]

Why would you need to check in Update before getting a component? If it's a component that comes into being during gameplay, you should probably have everything get that reference as soon as that object is created instead of waiting until next frame

[near wigeon]

not necessarily. Only if you are certain it only happens once
but you're better off fixing the design if you need to do it in update

[radiant pewter]

whats the context for it?

maybe we can recommend an alternative

[dusk lichen]

so im trying to figure out how to throw a can at an npc and it ragdolls, but the collisionenter obviously i need to grab the component of the item im throwing

to get its magnitude

but i cant cache it at runtime cause what when i have 500 items

[stuck flower]

OnCollisionEnter is not Update. Getting components in an OnCollisionEnter is fairly normal

[dusk lichen]

i will have to cache 500 items

[near wigeon]

why are you tracking them the whole time.. Only getcomponent when its relevant during the collision event

[radiant pewter]

can't you just get them in OnCollisionEnter and add them to a list, and track them that way?

[dusk lichen]

i just thought it was bad to use getcomponent anywhere other than awake or start

[latent meadow]

@radiant pewter they are showing now. scroll down below the 60%

[dusk lichen]

and u should setup event systems or something

[radiant pewter]

legend, thanks

[near wigeon]

its only "bad" to do it every frame, its perfectly normal to use it in other context if its done only once or so.
Eg raycast result

[stuck flower]

You should do it in Awake or Start as much as possible, but your question wasn't "is it bad to use getcomponent anywhere else" it was specifically "is it bad to use getcomponent in update"

The former question, I'd probably have answered "Generally, yes, but sometimes you might need to grab one during a collision event or something which isn't terrible"

[dusk lichen]

i see, thank you

so the rule isnt use it in awake/start, its try to avoid it being spammed

well not "try", totally avoid it

[stuck flower]

Right. And even if it's a one-time thing you'll do conditionally in Update, it shouldn't be in there for organizational reasons, rather than performance. (You shouldn't make your Update functions a monolith of conditions, it'll be a nightmare to maintain)

[dusk lichen]

design has to be easily 1 of the hardest things with game dev

its so stressful

[radiant pewter]

btw bonk I'm guessing the 500 items was being hyperbolic, but could you give more detail on what you mean there? like what items and why you need to track them?

[stuck flower]

It is, in fact, the only hard part. Other things that seem hard are actually design problems with groucho glasses and a trenchcoat

[dusk lichen]

like, right now i have a itemdatabase and like a store with a bunch of items, all different items and also multiple of the same

if i was to cache all at start of the script id have to manually type each one i make inside the script right?

[radiant pewter]

I mean on a non-technical level

could you explain the mechanic? there might be a simpler solution

[dusk lichen]

oh right now i have a npc and ive been messing around with networking

i wanna throw the can at the npc and have it ragdoll at 0 health from the velocity

but it syncs for the client too

[radiant pewter]

oh, are the 500 items like the body parts ragdolling?

[near wigeon]

networking ?

no offense but if you need to ask if you should or not get component in update. Should you be doing networking rn..

[dusk lichen]

i have 4 years of C experience, networking unironically is 1 of the easier parts for me

its more of the unity workflow im stuck at

like the whole architechture

[near wigeon]

completely unrelated in unity

[dusk lichen]

i mean im doing fine upto now

but im doing owner authoritative so

[radiant pewter]

NGO is quite a lot harder than regular native Unity

[near wigeon]

do what you gotta do but you're going to be struggling you should do simpler projects in unity first

[latent meadow]

for future reference, there are #1390346827005431951 and #1390346492019212368 rooms

[dusk lichen]

i feel like alot of it is already baked into unity

i thought it was gonna be 10x harder than it is

[radiant pewter]

so if you're struggling with the latter I recommend leaving it until you're a bit more comfortable with regular Unity

[dusk lichen]

but unity abstracts hella of it

[near wigeon]

which is why knowing regular unity behavior is much more important first so it better makes sense in NGO

[radiant pewter]

not a dig at you at all, this is coming from my own experience having learned NGO/networking this year after a few years of Unity

[dusk lichen]

no yeah i appreciate ur guys advice

i just feel like it isnt that much different

[stuck flower]

I mean, being aware enough to ask if it's a bad idea shows at least a commitment to learning things the right way that most of the people who dive into a gorilla tag VRMMO as their first project don't have.

[dusk lichen]

any info that needs to be sent to server => rpc

everything else clientside

[radiant pewter]

but yeah back to topic, I'm still not sure what you mean with the items

[stuck flower]

Just be aware that networking is a hydra, one problem solved will grow into dozens of others

[near wigeon]

keep in mind. and its very important.
You at very least need to start using the Unity Networking tools to test really high ping and see how much your game changes and you need to come up with clever solutions for poor connections / high ping situations

[dusk lichen]

oh yeah im not making anything that ill be releasing, im just messing around right now until im actually good enough to make something

rn i still suck majorly

[loud swallow]

can someone please help me figure out why when i bring aseprite sprites into unity it does this? it doesnt do this for anything made in other software just aseprite

[near wigeon]

is the max size big enough ?

[latent meadow]

you may have to talk to #🖼️┃2d-tools

[gray frigate]

it's not, by default!

[loud swallow]

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH

[gray frigate]

that's a 3500x1910 image

[loud swallow]

iv been trying to figure this out for so longgg

that worked:3

[latent meadow]

lol, i was looking for the res, but i'd never used aesprite. now i know

[wispy pollen]

i fixed it i just turned interpolate on the rigidbody lmao

[latent meadow]

good for now. i still suggests going through the pathways. you may find Many things you were not yet aware of

[wispy pollen]

alrighty

[granite lava]

Does you sprite really need to be that big though?

[loud swallow]

Uhmmm its a tilemap

So kindaaa yeah

There is like thousands of tiles-

[stark sorrel]

hello everyone, i have some sort of dilemma in making my game, like i have a split-screen system where two players can play from one device, however i dont know how to create sound for, like for one player its easy he just hears everything in the right distance and thats it, but in split screen if both are on long distance how sounds must play? and what to do or just make that every sound its hearable for both cameras and they just lay on each other

[granite lava]

Hmm, do tilemaps need to be that big?
How many actual pixels are there inside one of those "pixels"? I think it's more than 4

[loud swallow]

this one does because its the tilemap for the whole city

my other ones have been smaller

and just the entire game is based on 16 ppu

so to mess that up would not be so great

[granite lava]

Yeah just fuse everything I guess, it's splitscreen anyways, unless you expect players to do some cheeky engineering to hide each other's side of the screen
Though I have no idea how you'd do something like that, maybe it's easy? Eh

[latent meadow]

yeah, you tape a piece of cardboard across the break line 😁

[tepid horizon]

Is anyone able to confirm if the Unity MCP is locked behind paywall?

[near wigeon]

what is MCP ?

[worldly cave]

🤮

[near wigeon]

aw boo

[tepid horizon]

Nevermind, found out. For a flipping local connection to the unity editor they require payment

[near wigeon]

often time AI ends up taking longer. it Will make mistakes. Unity is offering a new Beta trial of its latest AI integration. that is most likely more involved than you are prepared for. if you just need quick scripts, i suggest Gemini. that is googles AI. it has done amazing things for me.
keep in mind, you will be entirely lost without actually learning things yourself, and it will be frustrating as frustrating can be. you Must take the Essentials Pathway on the learning site, and in order to really do anything, the Junior Programmers Pathway. then i would move onto Creative core and the newest Game Design Pathway.

Is there a way to extract textures from a glb or fbx in unity

[stuck flower]

Welcome to the world of venture capital and the financialization of everything

[tepid horizon]

I mean I just wanted it to make a script for a syringe for my game and i come back and it made me a whole new 3d model

I do know and have used tools that can generate images
and I do know and have used tools that can generate 3d models from images

but it kinda sickened me when I came back and seen that like you decided to go and generate a 3d image, then generate a model from that. and do it all like what

[stuck flower]

This is like Unity's fifth attempt at making generative AI not pure ass and it has failed again

[tepid horizon]

creativity is going to be dead

Well I mean it's pretty dang good and works with the tools it has given but it did stuff I didn't really ask for

You've been pointing out how AI sucks ass at solving the problem it is ostensibly designed to do.

[tepid horizon]

Well it did indeed solve the problem

I just didn't expect
"Add a syringe to my player that lets me click and disinfect the zombies" to come to "Generate a image, generate a 3d model from the image. Code the logic for the syringe"

And it did it all very well, that's the problem xD

[stuck flower]

So you got something completely unrelated to what you were asking for, but you're impressed anyway because the nonsense it generated looks neat and you just accepted it? You should probably have enough confidence in your own abilities to recognize cheap slop and want better

[tepid horizon]

🤦‍♂️

What I'm trying to say is this hands alot of the creativity of things over to ai, even with a short vague prompt it creates everything you asked for and more (what it expects you to be doing with it)

I have no doubt games are going to be pumped out like crazy with it

It'll do models, images, textures, sounds. All from one prompt for 20 cents

[stuck flower]

And they'll all be dogshit no one will want to play, just like the millions of asset flips littering the bottom of the steam charts

[tepid horizon]

I use ai alot for coding stuff (saving time) but honestly, allowing it to do models and textures is a bit insane..

I am happy for anyone that could help me out!

[random flame]

i want to buy an asset off the asset store from unity but how do i share it with a friend? do we both have to pay for it or do i get a license i can send him somehow

[gray frigate]

it depends on the kind of the asset

[latent meadow]

and the license

[sudden sparrow]

my player is stuck there like not climbing up nor down😭

[gray frigate]

https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/208601846-Asset-Store-licenses-Extension-Assets-Single-and-Multi-Entity-assets

[sudden sparrow]

can anyone see any problem here?

[gray frigate]

If your asset is using the standard EULA (most are, but check!), it'll be covered in this article

[random flame]

its an environments asset

[sudden sparrow]

oh damn speedtutor is in this server too

[stuck flower]

Doesn't matter what the asset is, it matters what its license is.

[latent meadow]

maybe try using a ramp, instead of step stairs collider. i mean, just for the collider. unless you are doing foot IK..

@sudden sparrow

[sudden sparrow]

ramp?

[latent meadow]

Yes?

[random flame]

single entity license

its just me and him so im assuming by the license description i can share it right?

[sudden sparrow]

whats ramp?

[stuck flower]

A... a ramp.

[sudden sparrow]

ohh

[sudden sparrow]

nah but i want steps

[sudden sparrow]

this is working for other steps idk why its stuck at jus one place

[latent meadow]

this is for the collider, not the actual stairs mesh. this is a standard trick.

[random flame]

if it is single entity license how do i share with my partner on unity we are collabing on a project

[sudden sparrow]

how that works

[gray frigate]

did you read the article I linked?

[random flame]

yes i did not see how to share it though i just seen it explain each license type

[latent meadow]

google this "use ramp collider for stairs, unity"

[random flame]

sorry if im missing something im trying to figure this stuff out before i spend some money

[gray frigate]

The actual wording in the Asset Store EULA is more restrictive than this; notably:

END-USER is granted a license to install and use Assets on an unlimited number of computers provided that these computers belong to END-USER

you don't own your friend's computer, most likely

so my most accurate reading of the EULA is that you'd need a multi-entity license to share this asset with other people collaborating with you on a project

the example given in the article makes it sound like a single-entity license would be appropriate here

you haven't exactly formed a corporation involving you and your friend, but you are working otgether

[random flame]

ok i see but how does the unity store know he is allowed to use the asset??

[hushed fjord]

guys is the third person character controller from the unity standard assets any good? does it have too many problems interacting with physics?

[latent meadow]

i disagree. if they are the same 'company', and the second guy will not use the asset apart from with the purchaser, it should be ok for art and sound assets. it is most likely Not ok for assets like 'Odin'

[gray frigate]

That's the distinction of an "extension" asset

But yes, if they're part of the same entity, then a single-entity license is appropriate

[gray frigate]

If you purchase the asset for an organization, then anyone in that organization will be able to download and import it themselves.

[latent meadow]

oh, i started typing before you added that last part

[gray frigate]

Of course, if you import the asset into your project, it'll just..be there

stuff from the Asset Store is dumped directly into your project's Assets folder; they aren't downloaded separately when you load the project up

[random flame]

ya we are having problems were we cant even have him see my scene.. we made a ticket with unity support but its taking a while... he is able to see project file and load into it but its a blank space

[sudden sparrow]

it was due to floor collider T^T solved now ty

[latent meadow]

i think the third person controller is not a physics based controller, so if you are using physics to move a character, IIRC< this is not the controller to use. but more clarification of 'interacting with physics' would help someone answer

[balmy kettle]

if they can see the project files then they just need to open the scene

[hushed fjord]

good to know. thanks

interacting with physics like, you into a pile of boxes with rigidbodies, and the player interacts with it without any problems just like a an object with rigidbody and a collider would

[latent meadow]

triggering physics in other things should not be an issue for that controller.. But, i would prefer someone with more experience with it to answer for sure.

[hushed fjord]

fair enough

thanks

Did you reduce the resolution of each character to fit too many into one texture? Multiple textures for fonts are supported

[gray frigate]

you're using TextMeshPro, correct?

if so, show us the settings you used when generating the font atlas

[hushed fjord]

yeah

[hushed fjord]

ok

[gray frigate]

hm, i'd expect that to be okay with just extended ASCII

can you also show us the resulting atlas texture?

[gray frigate]

"Auto Sizing" means that it makes the font as large as possible while still fitting in the atlas

It's possible that, with the extended ASCII characters thrown in, there's just not enough space in a 512x512 atlas

(so, you may need to use an Atlas Resolution 1024x1024)

[gray frigate]

oh, i was looking for the actual texture

you may need to click this to expand the preview pane

[hushed fjord]

oh ok

hm i expanded and nothing shows up

[plain dagger]

click "update atlas texture" and rebake with 2048x2048 instead

[hushed fjord]

ohhhh it fixed it

[hushed fjord]

thanks

and thanks @gray frigate

[plain dagger]

you can edit the settings to your desire and re bake

[upper igloo]

I finaly switch from being a roblix develuper to a unity developer

[hushed fjord]

yeah, good to know

[gray frigate]

oh, right, the texture would have been a sub-asset; it wouldn't appear here

but yeah, sounds like it's solved anyway

I was interested in seeing how much space each character got in the texture

[hushed fjord]

makes sense

[upper igloo]

Im trying to develup a game but for some reson c++ wont work

[hushed fjord]

that was it btw

[gray frigate]

yep

If you put it back to 512x512, the characters should look very small

[hushed fjord]

c++ is hard

[gray frigate]

A fair bit of space is getting wasted by those missing characters (the empty boxes) and the control characters (e.g. L SEP and RLI)

[hushed fjord]

yeah. didnt even know characters were rendered as images, thought they were like .svg so kind of infinite resolution

[gray frigate]

this atlas doesn't look right, though; it should look more like this

notice how the characters are "fuzzy"

[upper igloo]

#include <iostream>
Int main()[
Std::cout << "I guess it kinda is";
Return 0;
]

[gray frigate]

did you change it from SDFAA to some other mode?

[hushed fjord]

when generating the initial atlas of after the rebake? either way, i dont think i did

let me see

[hushed fjord]

yeah

[upper igloo]

But why wont it work when I try to develup my game

[hushed fjord]

wait youre trying to use c++ on unity?

[upper igloo]

Ya you can right?

[worldly cave]

you could, but its wiser to use c#

[upper igloo]

But c++ is so mutch faster

[hushed fjord]

i mean, i have never seen someone use it

[worldly cave]

if you know c++ then c# is going to be intuitively easier to pick up

[hushed fjord]

yeah

[worldly cave]

faster in which way?

[upper igloo]

Dose anyone just make there assets in blender like me

[hushed fjord]

i don't think its worth it considering the compatibility issues

[upper igloo]

What about c++ during runtime is that ok?

[hushed fjord]

i do. i mean the models. then i export them to unity and turn them into assets

[plain dagger]

you can invoke c++ code from c# but only c# can interact with the unity api

[hushed fjord]

also the lack of tutorials online

[worldly cave]

What i would give for Unreal to support c# 🤤

[upper igloo]

Oh shoot I got c++ mixed with unrell

[plain dagger]

https://github.com/nxrighthere/UnrealCLR

[worldly cave]

Yeah i saw that and the other one unrealsharp or something

but native support would be class

[hushed fjord]

it does have a node like coding system as far as i know, which is kind of an alternative to c++

[plain dagger]

wont happen and thats getting too offtopic

You don't have to tell the renderers anything. Just ensure the geometry is on the same physics layer that each light is including in its culling pass.

[loud swallow]

in a top down 2d game whats the best way replicate depth? Like here how ehn the player is physically in front of the lampost they are in front and when they are behind they are behind?

[forest otter]

Hey, is 6.7 when it gets released still on track for CoreCLR or did they roll that back?

Meaning zero compile time

[uncut karma]

I would think some kind of faked shadow to help give a greater sense of depth.

[loud swallow]

no sorry thats not what i meant

how can i make it so my character is can walk both behind and infront of the lampost

does that make sense?

[uncut karma]

Yeah makes sense. Apologies for my misunderstanding. I've never made a 2D game before, 3D only so I'm not entirely should how you would set it up. You obviously need colliders to prevent clipping through the base of the light post and you need a way to render the character behind the light post. You probably have to be switching the order in which images are rendererd or perhaps use a custom shader that would use the z position the character and use that to determine the rendering order.

I'm just making some guesses here as to how you could approach it. Like I said this sort of game isn't my area.

[bitter horizon]

how do i turn on anti aliasing inside of unity

[uncut karma]

If you meaning the game view then it depends on what render pipeline. if you're in the universal then it's on the camera I believe. In BIRP it's on the post processing stack.

[bitter horizon]

yeah im using something called URP High Fidelity

i applied it on camera too wont work

[bitter horizon]

this is with and without anti aliasing

[uncut karma]

Anti Aliasing is only applied to the game view. If that's where you're looking then try having a loot at the AA settings under Project Settings --> Quality.

[uncut karma]

Looks like it's configured, try changing to another AA option on the camera. See if you get different results. Not all AAs solutions are the same.

[bitter horizon]

it doesnt affect anything

the edges still look jagged with every setting

[uncut karma]

Something mustn't be getting set. My project is in BIRP so my knowledge of URP is limited. You've got a render pipeline asset set so perhaps there's a setting in there you need to adjust to enable AA

The render pipeline asset should live somewhere in your project structure.

[bitter horizon]

ok thanks

[uncut karma]

No worries, did that work?

[bitter horizon]

idk man

i looked everywhere

nothing worked

i deleted the project i'll make another try again

[uncut karma]

Did you find the URP render pipeline asset?

[bitter horizon]

i dont know specifically

but i did find URP stuff

[uncut karma]

It's called URP-HighFidelity

[bitter horizon]

yeah that

[uncut karma]

Search for it in your project.

[bitter horizon]

this is it right?

[uncut karma]

Ah wait sorry you did already post that. I missed it. My apologies.

That's about where my knowledge of URP ends.

Maybe create a new render pipeline asset as opposed to a whole new project.

[bitter horizon]

ok thanks for help

[uncut karma]

You're welcome, sorry I couldn't help more.

[bitter horizon]

i think this is causing issue

[uncut karma]

Do you have multiple render pipelines called 'URP-HighFidelity'?

[bitter horizon]

yeah

balanced, high fidelity, level 1 and quality

[uncut karma]

Okay so looks like you're accessing the settings for Level1 in this screenshot.

When you click on this pipeline asset. What file does it take you to? What are the settings there?

Implementing some bullet impact sounds, and someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the PlayOneShot method was meant to help with cases like this where the sound should still play when the GameObject is destroyed. Is that not right? It seems like they get cut off instantly.

[latent meadow]

probably talk to #🔊┃audio

[brisk inlet]

I've just moved onto the "Royal Run" tutorial. Is there a reason for the code to be extra complicated? I just deleted a bunch of code lines and the functionality seems to be the same.

In this scene it spawns chunkPrefabs as the floor where the player is + 12 times ahead of the player.

[latent meadow]

#💻┃code-beginner

[uncut parcel]

pretty sure it's set up like that because iteration 0 wouldn't do anything if the first loop of it has chunkLength * 0

but functionally it probably doesn't matter much

[brisk inlet]

sorry

[radiant sigil]

guys why did the pipeline converting system changed?

can't I just select some materials and convert them to the target pipeline?

like why I am waiting for 5 minutes for a scan

is there any other way??

even after scan the materials are still pink

why the hell they changed it I just want to select materials and press a button that converts them this is easy as it was

[latent meadow]

you can select materials and convert only them.
Edit>Rendering>Materials>Convert

@radiant sigil

oh, i am in 6.0. i do not know if 6.3 or 6.4 changed it

[radiant sigil]

I am using 6.0 and Edit>Rendering only has generate core commandbuffers and shader includes

there is no material section

oh it is 6000.4

[latent meadow]

google might know

[radiant sigil]

yeah searched a lot but as I see there is only 1 option left which is scanning

[latent meadow]

i do not have 6.3 or 6.4 installed, but according to research, it appears to have been removed.
the couple of ways i see to do it are annoying, but you can use the pipeline converter, deselect all, and only select the few you want to convert.
also, you could select the materials you want to convert as a group and manually adjust the shader property. i think this will leave you with a bunch of manual work though.
There should be a way to write a, Editor Script to do what you want, but that is beyond me.

[radiant sigil]

I see thank you for your response I think I have to do it manually

i just tested this. it is working on 6.0. it is just 'vibe coded' with Gemini, but works for me.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class DirectMaterialSwap

    [MenuItem("Edit/Rendering/Materials/Force Convert Selection to URP")]
    public static void ForceConvert()
    {
        foreach (Object obj in Selection.objects)

            if (obj is Material mat)
            {
                Undo.RecordObject(mat, "Convert Material");
                
                // 1. Grab current textures/colors
                Color color = mat.HasProperty("_Color") ? mat.GetColor("_Color") : Color.white;
                Texture tex = mat.HasProperty("_MainTex") ? mat.GetTexture("_MainTex") : null;
                Texture bump = mat.HasProperty("_BumpMap") ? mat.GetTexture("_BumpMap") : null;

                // 2. Change shader
                mat.shader = Shader.Find("Universal Render Pipeline/Lit");

                // 3. Re-map standard properties to URP names
                if (tex != null) mat.SetTexture("_BaseMap", tex);
                mat.SetColor("_BaseColor", color);
                if (bump != null) {

[elfin narwhal]

my guy youre not a mod, i never asked you to help, as i asked in the Mian GC for help on somthing,

[elfin narwhal]

and PPS i never asked for a collab, i asked for help.

[uncut karma]

Youtube is your friend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxaDBE71UHA

[latent meadow]

with that outline, you could add any missing texture reference in the conversion @ Mekiaqu

[elfin narwhal]

with outdated unity stuff? no thanks

[elfin narwhal]

you are the missing texture nobody wants (:

[uncut karma]

Did you even watch the video? The mechanics and frameworks are still valid. You'll often find in game development that the exact thing you're searching for doesn't exist and you need to look at the resources you have and convert them for your purposes.

[uncut karma]

That's pretty uncalled for.

[elfin narwhal]

The vid is 4 years old, unity has changed a LOT of stuff and renamed many things, i just want somthing simple and up-to date

[elfin narwhal]

well in all fairnes thay where being a dick to me in the first place.

[uncut karma]

a foreach loop is a foreach loop. Core coding principles don't change.

Code Monkey is a fantastic resource.

[elfin narwhal]

idm about the coding princables as i dont know C# as i said im new to unity ad i just want somthing upto date and simple.

[uncut karma]

Okay so then why claim its outdated? The core principles are still very valid, even if it's from a 4 year old video.

[elfin narwhal]

its not just about code, you need other things and as im using Unity 6 i dont want problems trying to figure out what is what because this "Thing" has chnaged over the years

[uncut karma]

Like I said, core principles are core principles. Here's a video for Unity 6. I'm not sure what you searched for online because there's lots of videos on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUKYv-afRnc&list=PLXG1jSmcT-NVNBRb-dCMBsCUbn_xtcwBo

I'm not familiar with that channel so I can't speak to how good it is or not.

[elfin narwhal]

i have looked at some of them but its not the style im looking for, thats the problem

[uncut karma]

Not sure what you mean by style? If you're referring to visuals well you need to make those yourself to achieve the visual style. In terms of function a grid system is a grid system.

[elfin narwhal]

i want a tarkov like invantory sytem

[uncut karma]

Code Monkey specifically mentioned Tarkov. It might not be exactly the same but you need to be able to adapt things yourself.

I can't see how a grid system at its core is not like Escape from Tarkov unless I'm missing something fundamental here.

It is at least the bones of it.

[charred fog]

@elfin narwhal Don't insult people trying to help you. You've been provided with several options as well.

[elfin narwhal]

as im only 6 days into it i dont really know how to script thats why i came looking for IRL help insted of a vidio

[uncut karma]

Okay, if you're only 6 days in then an inventory system like escape from tarkov is probably too advanced to be tackling.

[charred fog]

There's no personal tutelage here. Start on Unity Learn with courses and tutorials. Inventory tutorial at this point will be over your head anyway.

[elfin narwhal]

i mean i alredy got the ovemnt system done

[uncut karma]

Even if you found someone to help you most of what they went through while teaching you would probably forget if you're only 6 days in. So how can you make changes and improvements to it if you don't understand it?

[uncut karma]

If you did that all yourself that's great! If you followed videos or just copy/pasted code then maybe put the brakes on and work on the movement system a bit more.

My camera system in my game took way more than 6 days to implement properly from scratch.

and look, I'm not saying you shouldn't use external resources. Far from it. But if you game is just a collection of YouTube videos and code from the internet then that can create issues down the line

[elfin narwhal]

i mean its only a joystick and a jump buttion and ur able to look around still buggy lol

[uncut karma]

Still, that's a good effort. But build more on that. Try not to search for specific chunks of code. Instead query for functions that might exist already that do what you need them to do within Unity.

That's the only way to really learn the engine, learn by doing again and again and again.

The game you want to make will take a lot longer than you think. That inventory system you could easily work on for 40 hours a week for a couple of weeks to build everything you want.

[molten ore]

This is disco from GP

[clever comet]

This is the case for my geometry and lights still it doesnt work. Its worth mentioning im on URP

[quartz monolith]

Hello everyone, my model is displaying like this. Can it be an issue?

[latent meadow]

we have no way of knowing without seeing the original in blender or something, or having you explain what you think might be an issue

[quartz monolith]

yeah your right its just that just before my model was rotated so when i moved the model up it would change the x axis

it was looking like this

[latent meadow]

and what occurred to change it?

[quartz monolith]

the model rotation in blender

[gray dirge]

I personally use this plugin I believe: https://github.com/EdyJ/blender-to-unity-fbx-exporter. Blender and Unity use totally different axes so the models usually comes with wrong orientation by default. I just like to use a plugin that takes care of the rotation in a way that Unity supports so I don't have to mess with that manually

[quartz monolith]

thank you i will have a look

[latent meadow]

i do similar, with a different plugin. it is a mess without something like that

[gray dirge]

If you watch a Blender to Unity export/import tutorial, they probably rotate the model in Blender, apply it in some weird orientation and rotate again (or something similar, haven't done that in a long time). That works but why do that manually when tools exist to do the work for you. There is also the Apply Transform option in the export settings in Blender but that only works for simple models, for models with more complicated hierarchies things again break badly.

[quartz monolith]

Okay thank you guys for your recommendations :)

[jovial sapphire]

How do yall start making a game? Do you begin with the physics, the assets, or something completely different?

[abstract umbra]

features

[gray dirge]

ideating, validating, prototyping. For me visuals often comes last

[gray frigate]

the primary gameplay loop, constructed out of the jankiest programmer art imaginable

i started a horror game by making a capsule that ran at you if it saw you

[latent meadow]

I do all the art/assets first, then sit there for years wishing i was a better programmer 😁

[gray dirge]

sometimes do that too when I feel like doing some 3D modelling, either way most of my games never get finished sooo, does it really matter...

[gray frigate]

once you're actually moving, you can start doing whatever you want, really

[latent meadow]

Ouch. I felt that in my soul @ AleksiH 🥲

[jovial sapphire]

not a bad strat tbh. i hate modelling anyways

[uncut karma]

As eXCom mentioned features. Break them down in a design document, the high level goal of each feature. Once you have your design document think about what are the core fundamental features. Features that if you took them away the game simply wouldn't. For example in an strategy game, selecting objects and moving them are really important core features. So you'd start working on them and slowly build out from there.

Can someone explain why this Unity asset store code doesn't work The code is not valid? Is it because I've purchased more than 4 assets historically? That seems like such an illogical restriction, so I can't help but think it must be something else

verify that agent.Warp line is running by putting a log inside there then look at console.

this vid contains more details

is a problem of blender?

the animations are made on blender btw

[peak mountain]

that video really doesn't tell us anything.

you have yet to tell us the problem you're having

[south summit]

the animation is not only not applied, it also makes the model becoming like that

-90 of degree with a scale of 100

wait

may sent my animation import settings?

srry for the bad english

this

im just trying to apply this animation to an existing model

[charred fog]

If you have scaling issues during animation it might be malformed. Should load it up into Blender and make sure there are no anomalies.

All modifiers should be applied before animating.

[south summit]

all transforms applied?

i did it

[charred fog]

You should follow any tutorial on animating and importing animated models into Unity. Pay attention to export settings as well.

[south summit]

Blender did have a Unity exporter converter? 🤔

Find that tutorial.

Im at the point where the code base is 44k. I need to do a large code review but frankly im too low iq and a noob to do it. This is the time where i have to stop everything and seriously clean the whole thing before going back to building. Is there some kind of service for this or what else to do

[storm patio]

this kind of thing typically comes with experience unfortunately

specifically working with stuff to understand how they play out

[faint basin]

thx for notifying, im new here so had no idea bout that

[storm patio]

which, well, you've found out half the story lol

what does line number have significance in anything though?

or you talking about a monolith..

Im genuinely not smart enough to do that, it would probably take me months how discouraging

[latent meadow]

#🌱┃start-here

[plain iron]

There is so much junk code in it that i need to slim down. I crashed out over trying to make multi agent path finding and its clear I need to clean everything up

[storm patio]

it takes months to years to pick up this skill typically, it's not an issue of you not being smart, this is a thing that takes quite a bit of effort and time

[near wigeon]

literally years

[worldly cave]

at least you didnt use AI, otherwise the issue would have been exponentially worse...

[storm patio]

like i mentioned, experience-based skill 😉

[near wigeon]

also someitmes its easier to just redo the whole project with what you learned already to fix
rafactoring often takes longer

[storm patio]

there are some sites that describe "code smells", you could start there to identify the worst offenders (note that you shouldn't like, worry about this 100% of the time though tbh - it's something that you should keep in mind, but don't fall victim to analysis paralysis)

uhhh no i originally was not doing AI for like 15k lines. And i began losing my mind trying to implement things i didnt fully understand. And now im at a reset where i would like to stop AI after solving multi agent path finding. But i dont believe i can do it until its cleaned up which i have no talent to do

[storm patio]

also, don't underestimate just planning out on paper or a diagram tool of some kind

people that have had a lot of experience aren't skipping planning, they just have done it enough times to do it in their head on the fly

[bronze laurel]

today i found out theres a videoplayer in unity so watched alberqueque by weird al in it

[worldly cave]

think about your problem

and think about what AI means for it

and why using it might have been screwing you over in the long run.

[plain iron]

The thing is if i dont use it at this point im not going to complete the project at all. I already broke my OLED monitor throwing my fist through the screen. I just emotionally cant do it

[storm patio]

having to make things you don't know how to is part of the process, but you typically figure out how to do it first before actually doing it

[storm patio]

take a break then

those are important too

even more so, arguably

[plain iron]

I tried, it weighs on my mind no matter what i do. Whether i go to the beach, or a fair. I have been having to take benzos just to fall asleep

I want to be at least be on 2nd base and sit there for awhile with a clean code base

So i can at least stop going insane

[storm patio]

nah, you need proper rest

we cant discuss decompiled games and mods here.

[slate blade]

Can anyone help me find the Unity CLI that's mentioned in the most recent Unity Hub release notes??

[storm patio]

it would be in a terminal

[slate blade]

funny

[bronze laurel]

oh, sorry

[storm patio]

you haven't given much info about what you're having issues with, and i don't know how experienced or not you are.

[slate blade]

According to the latest Unity Hub release notes ( https://unity.com/unity-hub/release-notes ) there's a Unity CLI, documented here: https://docs.unity.com/en-us/hub/unity-cli

According to the above documentation, you install the CLI from here ( https://unity.com/download ), but .... where? I already have Unity Hub installed, and I just updated it to 3.18.0. However, there is no unity available from the command line.

Does anyone know more about this?

[storm patio]

there's also a manual page for the cli, btw
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/command-line-run-unity.html

seems to just be the unity editor itself

(a file can be both an executable graphical app and a cli app or a graphical app that can be opened by command line)

[slate blade]

Thank you! However, I get the impression this refers to https://docs.unity.com/en-us/hub/hub-cli and does not refer to https://docs.unity.com/en-us/hub/unity-cli

[storm patio]

oh that naming is wonderful

the docs page you linked above calls it just the unity cli too

from what the docs say, seems like it'd be a separate download on the same page as the hub download

probably hidden in a menu

my current device isn't logged in so i can't check myself, but i could in a sec if you can't find it

[slate blade]

been lookin for it all day

[storm patio]

ok on a different device now - seems like the docs page just says to run the unity hub as the executable

wait this is a different one

there's 3 CLI's

ok so

• "unity cli" (editor) - run the editor executable via command line
• "hub cli" (hub) - run the hub executable via command line
• "unity cli" (hub) - seems to be a separate download
  the last one is the one you want, right?

[slate blade]

This is the one I'm after https://docs.unity.com/en-us/hub/unity-cli#install-the-cli

[storm patio]

is there a reason you're going for that one specifically? it seems to just be a headless version of "hub cli" (hub)

[storm patio]

can't seem to find the download, though, yeah.

[heady gorge]

does anyone have any experience in making puzzles like these?

is it easier to create an overlay of invisible grid panels that individually track their positions and how close they are to a solution

OR

would it be easier to directly have it so that clicking the game object panels themselves to control their orientation and how close they are to a solution

i feel like they could both work, and i was originally going to go for the first, with no backdrop, but i realized i wanted the actual item to be a physically 3D thing the player can look at from a distance

thing im worried about in the second is if they start trying to interact with it from a distance. technically it would still trigger OnMouseClick()

[plain dagger]

Its easy to detect clicks on objects with colliders using an event system

I even have an example project demonstrating this! https://github.com/rob5300/Unity-EventSystem-Events-Example

[near wigeon]

whatever you chose you should make the tiles themselves only send signals to the main script that figures out if the path is correct

I done this type of puzzle before and used ENUM for the tile types also
then the logic was on a 2D array

You could potentially do it with a struct of bools too

public struct TileDirection {
public bool South;
public bool North; 
Etc.```

[heady gorge]

you said enum and i got terrified because i didnt recognize what that was short for

[near wigeon]

enumeration
they are just numerical constants with human readable labels

[heady gorge]

i will try to do both and maybe i will understand this mechanic better
thank ye both

i wonder if there is a way to track what part of a game object collider is colliding with something

[near wigeon]

the struct with bools might be easier
So basically If you had a horizontal only tile
I would check off the
East and West bools

[near wigeon]

you dont need collisions for this , at all

think of the bools as the "openings" in which direction the current can flow

a tile with West/East open would never work on a tile South/East

the next logical step would be East/Any here

so East opening (in this case EXIT) lines up with another East opening

so you will know the pathing can flow if the exits match the "entrance" opening

[heady gorge]

ngl i got all this way here and then i realized that i havent used multidimensional arrays a lot. i dont even think ive touched them since my python classes who knows how many months ago

maybe last year idk

i think i remember the general gist, but checking values is going to be the hard part. i should probably start with something simple to test out, like a 2x2

[near wigeon]

a 2D array is very simple like X/Y coordinates in a grid think..chess, battleship etc.

You don't have to use 2D array but makes everything easy and keeps logic nice and agnostic to the graphics

especially generating paths if you ever do so you can use things like AStar or whatever pathing to generate valid ones

been a while since I touched this stuff, I did back in the day trying to do the Bioshock vending machine hack

[heady gorge]

this can be done i just gotta buckle down

[near wigeon]

[latent lake]

how do collider bounds work exactly?

this is what it shows when i click on it

but surely that isnt enough to display a capsule collider bounds

[stuck flower]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider-bounds.html

[heady gorge]

i just realized that i'd need to have an array that scrolls through all possible alternatives for the panel to change to, an array to keep track of all current panels, and then an array to compare against to make sure its all correct

this will be sensational

[plain dagger]

Thats the constructor for the struct Bounds yes

[plain dagger]

Cant you refresh state based on changed tiles only? If you know the current valid flow through the puzzle you can break and re calculate from the change or refresh it all

[near wigeon]

each time you rotate the tile

[heady gorge]

you mean compare them to the solution each time the tile is changed? ye thats what the final array is for

[plain dagger]

but why does it need a new array?

isnt the win state here "can get from start to end via tiles"?

If the grid is not crazy big and you use a single dimensional array with a struct this will be very fast to traverse

[near wigeon]

true. all you need is 1 array for the correct "path"

[heady gorge]

yes
the first array is for each individual tile so they have a variant. whether it be red or blue, or horizontal or vertical, or whatnot

the second is for all the current tiles

and the final is the correct solution

unless i am misunderstanding what is being said

[latent lake]

i mean yes i understand those basics but i still dont get how it can contain polygons and such, i suppose it just creates a sort of box around them, so if you want to do an overlap in the shape of a collider, it would have to be an overlap box?

[heady gorge]

i was planning to start with 4 tiles and then scale later

[plain dagger]

variant? me no understand

[heady gorge]

like if i were to rotate the tile, i'd need to say that the tile is facing left or right or up or down

[plain dagger]

level config with 2d grid of tiles -> copy into current game tiles -> check current game tiles on each change -> win

[stuck flower]

I don't understand what you don't understand. It's the bounding box of the collider

[plain dagger]

that is part of the state of a single tile

[heady gorge]

ye

thats more so just for that singular one, which will inform the bigger array what should be considered the player's attempted solution

and then the other array is just to have a set correct array

[plain dagger]

struct Tile
{
  public Vector2Int Pos;
  public Direction Dir;
  public Color Color;
}

public Tile[,] tiles;

[heady gorge]

am i overcomplicating this

[near wigeon]

if you were to go with my earlier suggestion.
say
a tile that has south/west direction
now you rotate and its west/north

[latent lake]

i was just wondering if there was some easy way to recreate the area on the collider, even if its an odd shape

[heady gorge]

this is overwhelming to think about
i should make sure to be properly hydrated

[stuck flower]

I don't know what you mean by "recreate the area"

[near wigeon]

@heady gorge from what you shown in photo, you need 2 directions (or 4 max?) not just one . they may rotate a tile and also break the current flowing into it up until that point

[heady gorge]

is this about the collider shape itself?

not the bounds?

[heady gorge]

if i do something like this i'd probably need like a bool to say whether its powered or not @near wigeon

tragic, ive never had to plan so far ahead before

[near wigeon]

that depends on your specific needs/design for that one I'm not familiar with.. only ones more akin to the Bioshock waterflow hack . Similar ig

[heady gorge]

im just realizing im not even sure how to get each individual tile to know if they should be powered or not 🗿

give me a couple hours im gonna figure something out

[near wigeon]

whatever you do think the tile only knows its own things but should only tell that to the main handler like TileManager

[latent lake]

lets say i have such a collider, or a capsule collider, or a any non standard shape. If i want to perform a check (and i cant use runtime functions like onCollisionEnter2D) to see wether a gameobject or whatever exist within such a shape, is there a way to create an "area" to use as a check like this using only information we can get from a collider2d component?

[stuck flower]

Yes, that "area" is the collider.

[latent lake]

how can i do it? Im in a situation where i need to do this during editor time in a scene where the collider component i can access is from a prefab and not an instance in the scene

[stuck flower]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider2D.Cast.html probably

How performance intensive is it to go through references?

im so confusewd

im seeing n looking art and doing everything n im still confused

[mossy meadow]

im trying to import a .fbx file to unity but for some reason the textures dont attach to the object

and it doesnt allow me to extract textures

ping me if you can help

[stuck flower]

It would seem it doesn't have any attached textures then

[mossy meadow]

it comes with textures tho

or is that different?

[stuck flower]

So you have textures, use those

[mossy meadow]

thats the point

idk how

[fair cove]

Depends on what GetPlayerAbilitiesScript and GetRocketPunch is doing, the "performance intensive" part would depend on if they are looping through a lot or creating a lot in the same frame - you can use the "Profiler" to see if it has a noticeable impact on your games overall performance but likely it would be negligable compared to other things in your scene - though that seems like a oddly long chain of references to me, what is it that your trying to do where this might concern you? And why cant you keep a reference to RocketPunchMovement after you use it for the first time instead of re-calling the "Get"s every frame?

[vale skiff]

what do i need in order to make and put the scripts

visual studio?

[uncut karma]

Create a material and assign the textures to the material. then assign the material to the model.

[fair cove]

Id suggest Visual Studio Community, yes - the script is just a regular text file like any other that happens to have a ".cs" extension instead of a ".txt", technically you can edit it in anything you want but Visual Studio Community, provides tools that makes it easier to type the specific C# related keywords that Unity can compile

[pale furnace]

The movement script calls the rocket punch each frame that the rocket punch is active and checks if it is active. I could save the reference but I don't want to bloat the project with stored references to every single ability that controls movement temporarily since there would be a lot of them.

[vale skiff]

so do i just copy n paste the dontdestroyonload into visual studio

and im trying to make it where i cee the c# when i click on the game object

cause i dont see it

and im trying to figure out the stuff u sent me earlier

[shy idol]

is there any voice chats on this server where people hang out?

[mossy meadow]

when you say that you are simplifying by saying assign, but there is like a bunch options that idk how to use.

[fair cove]

From a performance point, that does not sound like it will create a concerning bottleneck in your framerate, but from a organizational point it sounds like that could become difficult to maintain - though you wouldnt have to have your movement know about every single ability in your game, in fact usually your movement doesnt need to know abilities even exist, it should just need to know how to move your player, while some other scripts entire job is to handle the current ability, which you can later define as a punch or kick or teleport or whatever you want - it doesnt change much about the performance impact, just the organization of your references, you could look into how a "Finite State Machine" pattern is setup if you want to try that kind of approach, but yours with having several references in "Movement" doesnt sound problematic on its own, performance-wise

[mossy meadow]

i know. but idk what is what

[worldly cave]

the issue is your textures seem to follow metallic roughness

[worldly cave]

you need to get acquainted with some Unity basics i fear

[mossy meadow]

omfg im stupid

[worldly cave]

[vagrant root]

[mossy meadow]

no its that this specific one had the names marked

the others didnt

[uncut karma]

I never said I was simplifying anything. I saw you needed direction and gave you some information. I'm new to the conversation.

You need to drag the different textures into the texture slots. Base Map, Metallic, normal, etc. One they're on the material, drag that material onto the geometry.

[worldly cave]

doesnt change the actual problem im seeing here lol

[pale furnace]

Ah ok that's good. I chose not to have a finite state machine cause a lot of the movement altering things stack with each other so rather than a single movement state I usually have each active ability and input adding to a total movement direction.

[fair cove]

Sounds like you might have skipped ahead some of the beginner tutorials, have you seen the "beginner" pathway on Unity Learn? They cover everything you just asked and more, going over how the engine works, and how to use C# to make stuff happen, they might not cover "DontDestroyOnLoad" specifically, but theyll give you the tools and understanding to navigate the engine and C# so you can use whatever part of the API and apply it to your specific use-case

[mossy meadow]

i knew i had. its that for other objects the textures were not identified so i was clueless

[mossy meadow]

it doesnt? alr tell me which is which

[worldly cave]

base color, metallic, normal and rougness

in that order.

[mossy meadow]

always?

[worldly cave]

no?

i can just tell lol

because thats how those typically look like

altough you could swap rougness and metallic

they look similliar

now adays we do something called channel packing

basically have 1 texture and use it for numerous different inputs, its crazy stuff

[real agate]

yall my world is blackened out i think i pressed a key by mistake anybody know something

[uncut karma]

I thought this object already had material 08 - Default assigned and you have a bunch of textures named 08_Default_albedo, 08_Default_AO etc.

I'm very confused about what object you're trying to texture.

[vale skiff]

wheres the beginning tutoria;

[mossy meadow]

i was just trying to understand how to deal with this .fbx problem. the exact object didnt matter

[worldly cave]

theres an "essentials" pathway

[real agate]

nvm

[uncut karma]

Got it

[fair cove]

Ah I see, maybe you could either have a list of vectors that "+=" onto your default movement vector before the final calculation, and the abilities add/remove their affect via a function call, or you could have a "AbilitiesManager" that handles all the stacking of all affects and passes the change along to others, I believe its similar to the "Command" pattern IIRC, if you wanted to see an example of "ability stacking"

[heady gorge]

i just realized, i dont even need to check if the total solution is correct. i just need to use whatever system that tells the others what is on or off on the final node. that way if the node is on its completed its purpose.

ive been trying to think of ways i can do it, and then eventually scale it to be randomized though ive considered that randomization might risk an unsolveable puzzle

[pale furnace]

Hmm ok I'll check that out

[mental pulsar]

Again Unity doing stupid things, lol, why to lock the MCP behind a paywall? It runs locally and people use their own models

Same stupid thing that they did with Platform Toolkit integrations

[uncut karma]

I suggest checking out some material tutorials if you want to understand what everything means or at least be able to take the next steps to understand what it all means.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQTl7W4comU

[mossy meadow]

thanks, i appreciate the help

first time ever using unity

[near wigeon]

might risk an unsolveable puzzle
yup thats why if you going to randomize it you still need some level of control so typically you get algos that work here like DPF , A* or BFS etc.
(you can partially scramble the parts after)

it would suck if a player fails because technically it was never solvable

[heady gorge]

would be funny (to me, not to them)

[uncut karma]

Yeah so you're going to need a lot of tutorials. Almost everything is going to be confusing but that's okay. It will take years and that's okay also. Just keep at it and keep trying.

You can only learn by doing. The best way to learn in my experience is by doing.

[mossy meadow]

tbh im just doing unity for fun. low level programming is my thing. i just thought that taking some time off to make a game would be fun

[worldly cave]

thats a bit of an absolute dont you think?

[worldly cave]

the unity learn page has a lot of great free courses for getting familiar with the engine

i suggest you start with those

[heady gorge]

struggling to figure out this system oof
i dont want to look it up though cuz i feel like i can figure it out

[uncut karma]

In context of development then yeah think its perfectly valid. The same way someone studying to be an electrician can only truly learn by applying their trade. I'm not going to hire an electrician who's only read books or watched videos.

I'm not saying you can't learn anything by watching a video. I'm saying for it to truly stick and for your confidence and understanding to grow you have to actually do the work. You have to apply your knowledge, otherwise it slips away.

[heady gorge]

i feel like i have the pieces of knowledge, i just got to figure out where they go...

[worldly cave]

thats still a bit of an absolute lol

like i agree with 99% of what you say

but nothing is certain

[uncut karma]

I've never met anyone who has become good at something without dedicating a fair amount of time to perfecting their craft. There's always exceptions to a rule but 99.9999% of people need to apply themselves.

The world is built around the rule, not the exception to that rule and if someone is asking for advice on a Discord server I'm assuming they're part of that 99.9999% just like me.

[worldly cave]

i dont think thats what you said initially

or rather not how it read

[worldly cave]

this is far different from what you are saying right now

also to "learn" something is an entirely arbitrary distinction to begin with

and more so an umbrella term

[uncut karma]

I mean, I thought it could be easily inferred. Apologies if that wasn't the case. This server is about giving realistic advice. Look. I'll update it for you.

[worldly cave]

Its less about it being "inferred" and more so about it being a different statement compared to what you later clarified

[uncut karma]

We're on a Unity Discord server. My advice was solely in relation to the Unity. I never said the only way to learn anything in life is by doing.

I think you might be getting caught up on the context but I'm happy to hear a counterpoint to realistically learning Unity.

[worldly cave]

Even in the context of Unity

i still think its an absolute

because learning and to learn is a loosely defined term to begin with

or better yet its arbitrary.

so to pretend it then has some absolute rules is just silly in my opinion

[uncut karma]

Okay I understand. But if you don't apply what you've read or watched you won't get very far with Unity. Trust me. I'm not going to tell someone they don't need to 'do' stuff to learn.

[worldly cave]

I mean yes for most situations you need to actually practice

we agree on that

but i say "most" there are some things where theory gets you far enough, certain simpler things that is

but that kinda breaks the "only" assumption in my eyes

[uncut karma]

For software development you 100% need practice.

[worldly cave]

youre missunderstanding what im saying here

but ultimately it is a bit of a pointless argument so i think we should stop cluttering the chat

at the end of the day we do agree pretty much on the majority of the argument, theres just some things we can leave at an "agree to disagree"

[uncut karma]

If you just want to conceptually learn about game development sure, you don't need to apply yourself. The person I was responding to clearly wasn't wanting to conceptually understand. They were trying to do the work.

[uncut karma]

Sure, that's fine with me 😊

can i transfer my project from unity 2022.3.62f3 to unity newer version?

[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.

[slow dirge]

Yes. The question is how difficult that would be. 🤷‍♂️

[hushed hamlet]

I'd definitely back it up first :P.

I have a feeling you aren't using source control yet.

But couuuld be wrong

oh thanks guys

actually i wanted to use unity ai assistant but i think my version doesnt support that package

[azure musk]

why did dev use only load part of the music in some unity game?

[uncut karma]

Not sure what you mean? Can you please elaborate further.

[azure musk]

why do developer make unity games then use stream off the HDD for the music?

[uncut karma]

You mean why does someone make a unity game and package music files with the game on the hard drive?

I think the above is what you might be asking so I'll give a few details around that. Music in games is a very legally complex.

1.) You need to have a license to use the music in the first place.
2.) If you do have a license, how the music is used matters. Most musical licenses are limited to being packaged and distributed within the game only. Releasing the music elsewhere (even if its in your game) isn't covered under a standard musical use license.
3.) Some music might only be for a certain portion of a track and not the full track
4.) If someone owns the music and the full rights, they still might only want to keep their music within the game and not release it publicly.

Without knowing more I'm a bit lost as to what more detail to provide.

[azure musk]

no the music file is not all loaded in memory some games

[uncut karma]

Do you mean it's streamed from another server?

[azure musk]

i mean it streamed from HDD

why playing the game

[uncut karma]

Got it. Well I can imagine it's to save on memory for music files that might be quite long and large.

But that's going to cost more CPU time.

I'm sure there's other reasons but that's what sticks out in my mind immediately.

[brisk anvil]

YESSSSS 😮 😮 😮

Best hub update everrrrrrrr

no more the nightmare of injecting a project to the old templates 😁 😁

this is fantastic

[brisk anvil]

I mean depends on why do you want to cap to 60?

[latent meadow]

i guess that update has not hit Linux yet. looking forward to it

[uncut karma]

No, unless you're targeting a specific hardware configuration like a console and are wanting to maintain a certain degree of visual fidelity.

If you aren't targeting consoles then the only time you should force a limited frame rate is in a menu to help reduce coil whine on GPUs.

[pearl oyster]

On the other hand if by story game you mean a visual novel type of thing that consists mostly of text and still images, capping the framerate wouldn't be a bad idea because it doesn't need those hundreds of frames per second

[slow dirge]

You can also it's best to have vsync on by default and provide an option to enable/disable it or set custom framerate in the settings.
The player has the right to decide if they need an built-in heater, want to burn through their electricity bill or contribute to global warming.

By disabling vsync and frame cap, you're basically let your cpu/gpu run through the frames as fast as they possibly can.

Why tons of text in editor is just ... its so stupid

[slow dirge]

The editor is being lazy

Or cynical.

[uncut parcel]

Anyone know anything about particles not appearing in build time the way they do in editor time? One of my particles just does not look the same at all

saw something about build settings and platform optimizations affecting it but found nothing in specific for it

[upper igloo]

Visual studio crashed and my script got deleated.

[jovial sapphire]

i made an really simple car with wheel colliders etc in unity, but my car is moving backwards on its own? even while i removed all the colliders etc its moving backwards...... how do i even fix this lmao

[smoky lintel]

i haven't even used this new feature yet and i already love it!

this will be a huge time saver, especially when I have to make the same set of changes every time i create a new project

[uncut parcel]

It has to do with the current FPS

good to know

[lapis tapir]

Hiii
Quick question as I’m super new to unity and c# and I wanna start developing a mini game for awhile now and I was gonna use unity but I’ve heard theres been some drama that affects mostly indie developers
Is this still relevant or no?

[latent meadow]

what drama?

[lapis tapir]

Something about unity charging money per install or something similar
Again I’m not very familiar and I’ve tried to search online but it’s all old comments so just wanted to ask here before I fully commit to unity

[latent meadow]

no. that was rescinded before it took effect and that CEO was fired.

[lapis tapir]

I c so it’s not gonna happen again or anything right?

Also thanks for clarifying 🙏

[latent meadow]

they do not tend to repeat things they fire a CEO over, no.
YW

[lapis tapir]

[storm patio]

fwiw this seems like a bug and not a design choice. a layout/library reset may be in order

[storm patio]

gonna need some more info to go off of. is it moving backwards due to physics, your own movement code, gravity, something else?

[storm patio]

save often 😉

[jovial sapphire]

something i dont know. i removed the script and it was still moving, removed all the colliders, and it was still moving.

[storm patio]

what about the rigidbody?

[brisk anvil]

About to get FinalIK and Magica Cloth 2 after many years of keeping an eye on both packages. Just in time, last 2 hours of springsale getting it for 45$ 😁

[latent meadow]

i never did get around to using FinalIK (i own it, just never used it yet), but Magica Cloth 2 is great

[rose trout]

I agree with Magical Cloth 2. I am using it for my game and it works really well

[gusty fox]

The right side texture from AAA game

And I am using 2k texture

The texture are looks better than my. How to make like this textures

[latent meadow]

best to talk to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[vagrant bramble]

One of the most aggravating unity features is the fact that when you open certain menus (like the three dot menus in the top right), you click it to open it but you can't click again to close it, it just opens it again, you have to click somewhere else to get it off

[short grotto]

im doing moible game to test performance i have to rebuild the whole thing everysingle time ?

[vagrant bramble]

Is there a way to turn off this ugly blue I got from navmesh baking

[latent meadow]

[vagrant bramble]

Thanks

[heady gorge]

OH

[clever comet]

Is there a Unity Like Terrain system that I can draw on using Materials?

Terrain Layers kinda suck

[latent meadow]

#⛰️┃terrain-3d

[gray frigate]

standard Terrain renders with a single material: you can use many different textures, but they're all getting rendered together

that's what sets it apart from a plain old mesh renderer

notably, blending between completely different materials would be a huge hassle

(i'm not sure how you'd even do it, other than rendering both and then lerping the resulting color)

[clever comet]

I imagined it the same Texture Layers work

Polybrush does it sort of using vertex colours

but I was wondering if theres like a known way that im missing

ill elaborate in #⛰️┃terrain-3d

[gaunt python]

Does anyone know why even in an empty scene EditorLoop gives these annoying 500ms spikes once in every 2-15 seconds?

And why can't I expand EditorLoop to check which function takes so long

Deep profile doesn't help though

[gray frigate]

You'd need to switch to profiling Edit Mode up here

Random spikes are often caused by garbage collector pauses

[gray frigate]

note that the collection will continue even after pausing the game, so you'll need to quickly stop recording after a spike occurs

[gaunt python]

I'm not really into math but how come there's only 0.3% OnGUI and everything else inside UIR.DrawChain is 0% 😭

[heady gorge]

did a huge amount of coding for a puzzle system just to realize it conflicts with the interact system

[gray frigate]

Each profiler marker displays two percentages:

• The total time taken (Total)
• The time taken outside of child markers (Self)

So, almost all of the time is being spent inside the IMGUIContainer marker

(and not in a child marker, like OnGUI)
