a half-second GC pause seems excessively long

there's not a lot to go on with just this info, unfortunately

[latent lake]

How can I check if a Collider2D’s exact shape (including things like PolygonCollider2D) would overlap with other colliders at an arbitrary position, without actually moving or instantiating the object in the scene? I’m working on nav/path generation and simulating positions in code, so what I need is essentially to “place” a collider shape at a given position and test if it would intersect with the world. Using bounds isn’t accurate enough since it’s just an AABB, and the built-in OverlapBox/Circle/Capsule methods only work for primitive shapes, not arbitrary collider types. Collider2D.Cast also doesn’t quite fit since it’s a sweep, not a pure overlap check at a specific position. Is there any way in Unity to query overlap using the actual collider geometry at a given position, or is this not supported?

[heady gorge]

about to start tweaking i dont even know what to do

i dont even

[latent meadow]

you might want to talk to #🖼️┃2d-tools, or #⚛️┃physics .. not sure

[heady gorge]

i made like a basic system for typing in a randomized code

and now im realizing like if i had several pincodes, for any reason, this shit is stuck to the UI

i'd now have to entirely code something that has to keep changing the code on the UI and just have a singular thing, OR i make the pinpads prefabs with their own

i dont even know bro

[gray frigate]

hmm – there is https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapCollider.html, but this requires the collider to be positioned properly

[heady gorge]

how would i even make this a physical object in the world

[latent lake]

can you explain what you mean exactly by positioned properly

[gray frigate]

you'd need to put an object with the 2D collider on it at the spot you want to test

(and probably sync transforms, too)

[modest meteor]

make it a model (in blender or probuilder, preferably blender though). or a texture works too (if you're fine with it being flat)

[heady gorge]

thing is like it has actual code on it
i made it like a UI item and then just completely overlooked that it wouldnt make sense

every item would have to have its own randomized code

and then tell the ui that its a randomized code but

[latent lake]

yea but that requires instantiating the item, im doing a nav graph jump calculation which take up to 30 seconds for one graph in one small map so there are a lot of calculations, if each time i wanna do a jump check i spawn in an object it can messy rather than just getting the tiles gameobject prefab and getting the data from the collider component on it

[heady gorge]

that wasnt even the original plan i fucked up.

is there a way to put panels in 3D space instead of as an overlay

wait can i have 2 canvases at once

[modest meteor]

you can make a world space canvas, that way you could still use the ui version. that's a bad way to do it but it works.
and yes you can have multiple canvases

[clever comet]

any idea what could be causing these lines on the terrain?

closed the fog for visbility

[latent lake]

i suppose i could reuse some instantiated objects and just reposition them by setting the transform but still feels a bit complicated

[heady gorge]

my original plan was to have the player's camera sort of move to a camera, or move to a position in front of the actual pinpad, and then have this UI thing as an invisible overlay on the actual pinpad

[gray frigate]

the Terrain system has a myserious "base map" system, which bakes the terrain into a single texture and displays that at long ranges

[heady gorge]

tbh this was just me trying to figure out how i'd do this system

[gray frigate]

Try tunring up the "Base Map Distance" setting in the terrain settings

[gray frigate]

(this system scares me)

[heady gorge]

i was planning to use it but now ive put myself in a weird spot

[latent lake]

perhaps a way to spawn in each of the tiles prefabs to then do the checks and build the nav graph then delete all those prefabs

[clever comet]

learned a lot today, mostly that Unity Terrain is scary

that was indeed the issue, thank u again

[gray frigate]

The optimization probably made sense for much older hardware

At long distances, you're rendering very few pixels of the terrain

so you start caring more about the mesh density than anything else

(and that will still vary dynamically with distance)

[gray frigate]

moving far away from a high-resolution model doesn't reduce the number of vertices you have to process, hence why you vary the density

[modest meteor]

you can have the player's camera move to the keypad and then make the ui appear in front of it, that works

you only need 1 canvas for this

[void patrol]

i was looking to make a minimap fog of war effect (map uncovered when move near it), but most tutorials are using a "clear flags" setting on the camera which i cannot find, any alternatives? or am i just missing the option cause im blind

[clever comet]

seems smart (on paper)

[heady gorge]

each keypad would prob have to have its own code

im going to pause on this and create like an actual door i can interact with just to make sure im doing this right

[modest meteor]

you can still reuse the ui. you dont need an entire different keypad when the code is different

[crimson bluff]

I'm having a hard time installing assets through the git link, it keeps saying that there's an error of adding/removing, but does anyone know how to fix it

[worldly cave]

whats the git link? Could be that it isnt setup properly to support direct installation

[crimson bluff]

Sorry for late response

i cant send links here but its the Toon Shaders

[worldly cave]

im 99% sure you can send a git link here.....

[crimson bluff]

https://github.com/ChiliMilk/URP_Toon#SurfaceOptions

Oh didnt copy the correctly 😭

[worldly cave]

sometimes it could bug out

you could just try installing it manually

but this seems less like a package and more like an entire project

so i dont think you could have installed this as an asset to begin with directly

[crimson bluff]

How do I do that, I know you just donwload it and install it the same way but Im not sure how to find the right package or anything like that

Like what files to choose from

[worldly cave]

i think you can get away with just adding everything from the repos asset folder into a custom folder in your own project

[crimson bluff]

Just import the whole thing?

[worldly cave]

"adding everything from the repos assets folder into a custom folder in your own project"

[crimson bluff]

I'll try that after im done finshining something up

Thank you

[gray frigate]

what are you actually doing?

are you trying to install it with this option in the Package Manager?

[crimson bluff]

Add package from git URL

[gray frigate]

this repository does not contain a package manifest file, so it can't be installed this way

The repository itself is an entire Unity project

[crimson bluff]

Understood, but I was gonna to install it manually like that other guy said, just import the donwloaded file in the assets

[gray frigate]

Yeah, that should work

Note that this does include stuff like URP renderer assets. Importing them is fine, but they won't be used d

It's possible that this includes custom renderer features (which have to be set up in your URP renderer asset)

I'd download the entire repo, unzip it, and then add it to the Hub as an existing project

You can probably then just copy the "ChiliMilkToonShader" folder into your main project

the rest of the assets appear to be there for demo purposes

Hello everyone, I have a very big problem with Unity, I am a student and I need to use it. I downloaded Unity from the official website and all that, my problem now is that, first, it doesn't let me create any new project, second, when I create it, it deletes itself, it doesn't appear in the folder, it doesn't appear anywhere. When I finally create a single project, it doesn't let me open it, it just loads and nothing more. It is very frustrating since I am not good at all with these things and when I search, no one has an answer, not even my teacher. I hope someone can help me, thank you

[worldly cave]

where are you creating the project?

which directory?

have you verified your drives arent too full?

[sick mason]

directory as in where did i put the file to make the projects?

and yeah, i made sure i have space in my drives

[worldly cave]

yes where the project is located on your pc

[sick mason]

sorry if i get a bit mixed up with stuff , english is not my first

[sick mason]

its in a folder in my desktop now , tried it in other places before, did nothing

[worldly cave]

so what happens when you try to create a new project

and you say it doesnt let you?

does it show any kind of message or warning?

[sick mason]

nope , no warning , no nothing

dosnt load and immidiatly delets itself

[worldly cave]

so how does it "not let you create" a project?

what os are you on?

[sick mason]

os?

[worldly cave]

operating system

[sick mason]

i press new project, it loads, and it just disapears

[sick mason]

sorry but how do i check that

[worldly cave]

thats something you just know?

is it windows?

mac, linux?

[sick mason]

ah

windows

sorry

tried to send a video to show it

[latent meadow]

your own computer, or is this a school computer

[sudden sparrow]

dude cant we post our unity project screen recorded with phone camera on social media?

[sick mason]

its my own

[latent meadow]

ok

[latent meadow]

that came out of nowhere, and i am not sure why you are asking me.. did i somewhere say you can't?

[sudden sparrow]

T^T i posted on reddit and now im banned

[sick mason]

its pretty frustrating to do this since , well, i suck pretty bad with all of this

and the teacher (who has been giving classes since 2019) just tells me "i dont know how to help you"

not cool

[sudden sparrow]

u guys have schools for this?

[sick mason]

i mean

its not exactly school , its more like

college ? i think

[sudden sparrow]

ohh

[sick mason]

here in argentina its like "faculty"

basicly

[sudden sparrow]

a part of big uni?

[sick mason]

i guess

[sudden sparrow]

ur beginner ?

[sick mason]

either way , i still dont know why i hace this "gaming" class , since i am studying arts

[sudden sparrow]

😭 what u do there ? play games

[sick mason]

i am in my second year , so . 4 years to go and have it done

[worldly cave]

is it a "gaming" class or a game development class lol

[sudden sparrow]

ooo cool

[worldly cave]

besides technical art is a huge part of game development

[sick mason]

we make the game

[worldly cave]

who knows maybe you will find yourself working in the field in the future

so its good the college is preparing you for it

dont dismiss it

[sudden sparrow]

i see its cool

[sick mason]

yeah! that!

[sick mason]

the thing is that i am studying to get another title

not this

[sudden sparrow]

what artstyle are u studying?

[sudden sparrow]

what title?

[sick mason]

Bachelor's degree in visual arts specializing in paintings

[sudden sparrow]

i see

[sick mason]

really long thing to basicly say "ah yes ,me painter, me profecional"

[sick mason]

well , we dont study artstyles

buuut

[sudden sparrow]

ohh

[sick mason]

they have different ramifications

like sculpture , painting , drawing and well , making games is one

but i am not going to do thato ne

[sudden sparrow]

thats soo cool

[sick mason]

and here i am

having to do the first semester of programing

and i am basicly about to fail it because my unity isnt working

and i jsut came here for help loool

[sudden sparrow]

me beginner too but ill say if u have nothing to loose just uninstall everything related then install it again watching the installing tutorial on yt

[latent meadow]

please shift over to the thread.

[sick mason]

did that, no work

[sudden sparrow]

then ur pc is cursed

[sick mason]

loool i hate iiittt

Unity accepts blender animations?

[raven spindle]

Hey is anyone familiar with a tutorial or course I can take thayt covered the new input system used for an RPG style with attack and multiple weapons? I have taken the Junior Programmer Pathway and Game Developer pathway but any RPG seems to be ancient.

[stuck flower]

If you can't find a tutorial that covers RPG elements with the new input system, you could always try learning the input system and RPG mechanics separately and then combine them yourself

[raven spindle]

I do think this would be a better approach and would stay with me more that watchign a tutorial.

was hoping to expedite my learning path, but this is probably better

[wheat coral]

Hello guys. I need little help. Can anyone say how to make operating room in Unity VR? Its my project for 3 years on college and I dont know where to start. Its due to June.
I would really appriciate help 😃

What should I learn firstly and what to focus on

[stuck flower]

This sounds more like a question for Blender.

Or whatever your 3D modeling software of choice is

[worldly cave]

i mean yeah if its purely just the enviroment itself

if you mean like actual interactive operation simulator or something...

well thats a different story

[latent meadow]

"i need to make a medically accurate surgery simulator in the next 24 hours! Where do i start learning Unity?"
this is what these half questions always sound like to me

[worldly cave]

also theres no way this is your final project for 3 years in college yet A. youre starting it with 1 month left due, and B. your college has not taught you the very basics of Unity....

[high heart]

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of help with Mac versions of my game distributed outside of Steam.

When someone downloads my game from the internet, they are met with a 'this application is damaged' error. However, that isn't correct, as running the game using a terminal command allows you to run the game perfectly fine. Also, when obtained locally without an internet connection, the game runs simply by double clicking it.

I know that Apple's security feature is weird, and I've seen quite a lot of Unity games with warnings when you first play it, however... it's simply a prompt that allows you to either choose "run anyways" or you go into your security settings to allow the app to run.

This however is really weird because it absolutely requires a special command on terminal, and I'm not sure why it's different from other ones.

I'm not a ceritified developer, but I don't think a lot of other small time hobbyist developers are either, so I'm not sure why my app requires terminal when others do not.

[gray frigate]

i've always had to do two things to run an executable that wasn't built on my laptop:

• remove the com.apple.quarantine attribute from the application itself
• chmod +x the binary itself (the missing "executable" flag is what prompts that 'damaged' popup)

This happens when an application is downloaded.

If you run it through something like Steam or Itch, they wind up doing this for you

[high heart]

I know that the launchers do it, but I keep getting messages from people who choose to do the downloads individually

the chmod thing, isn't that something the downloader has to do on their end? Or can I just do it and then upload it.

[gray frigate]

unless you go through the process of getting a certificate so you can sign your applications, people will have to do those two things for a directly-downloaded game

[gray frigate]

Both of these things have to be done on the player's end.

I presume that macOS automatically removes the "executable" flag from anything untrusted that's downloaded from the internet

[high heart]

When did this change? I remember previous unity games I made only needed a "allow anyways" prompt in the security settings, this is the first time it requires chmod

Is this something being applied to all unity games that aren't developer ID signed?

I probably wouldn't take the step to get an ID unless I plan to make money from the iOS platform, honestly.

[gray frigate]

I don't recall when the behavior changed

[high heart]

I'll just put a readme into the dmg, I guess.

[raven spindle]

How is it distributed if not through Apple Store?

[high heart]

It's through itch.io, but a lot of mac users do not use the launcher

And they started complaining saying that 'well other games don't have this problem'

[gray frigate]

the itch app is very handy! it gives you actual patching...

[raven spindle]

Curious as I am a mac user but haven't published anything, so you are just building the dmg and posting on itch

[high heart]

Yup

[gray frigate]

I use itch's butler tool to upload

basically the same thing

[raven spindle]

if ok can you DM me th elink to your game, want to see what happens

[stuck flower]

The way I usually solve this is ||don't bother building for Mac, let them buy a real computer||

[gray frigate]

very helpful 🙂

[high heart]

Does this allow mac users to download the app and then run it individually without the itch.io launcher?

[gray frigate]

No, it's just how I get my builds uploaded to Itch

i would simply encourage them to use the itch app

[high heart]

They're still like 20% of the people who play my games.

[gray frigate]

it makes updating way nicer

(rather than just downloading the entire game over and over)

[high heart]

I guess I'll put a readme into the dmg for now to let mac users know to use the launcher

That won't mess with the launcher would it, putting a readme into the dmg...

[gray frigate]

anyone who knows that a .dmg can be opened up will probably know how to deal with the issue 😉

[high heart]

No they don't, I can confirm lol

[gray frigate]

iirc itch lets you enter some "download notes" or something like that

which shows on the download page

[high heart]

I had mac beta tester volunteers who didn't even know that Mac had terminal

They thought you had to download terminal

lol

And I had to step them through the process of the commands, and I was like "nobody is gonna run my game this way"

[gray frigate]

oops, i was mixing up applications and disk images, lol

[worldly cave]

The developer of Rings of Saturn said that Linux players were only 5.8% of sales but produced 38% of all bug reports.

[stuck flower]

For linux users, that is an impressive amount of restraint

[high heart]

At least linux users don't have to use terminal to run individual apps

[worldly cave]

does he know

[high heart]

Do I know? I tested it.

Unless you're trying to play games using Gentoo

[uncut karma]

That's a significant margin. Not the norm for sure but worth getting it working.

[uncut karma]

Sounds about right from my experience, at least from a visual oddity perspective.

[worldly cave]

Maybe we are misunderstanding the data and Linux players really like to do quality assurance

[uncut karma]

Must be it 🙂

But if its natively supported its natively supported.

[gray frigate]

my friend just experienced a very interesting problem

• unity closed, complaining about a corrupted file in the Library
• when reopening, it said it could not parse packages-lock.json

Unity decided to overwrite the package lock file with the project settings asset

holy memory corruption, batman

UGUI or UI toolkit. People say UI tool kit is better for performance but i have no idea how much that matters

[gray dirge]

So what is the question? toolkit probably performs better on many scenarios, that doesn't matter much though. I prefer toolkit for my new projects, it's a matter of preferences of course. They are two very different workflows

[peak mountain]

anyone know the site we should use to paste code?

[uncut karma]

From a performance perspective, my understanding is that UI Toolkit doesn't require you to separate out UI groups into different canvases if your project is UI heavy. UGUI requires you to do that because when one element is changed the whole canvas needs to be redrawn.

If you're starting a new project, go UI Tooklit. If you're deep into an existing project that's using UGUI just keep using that but ensure you follow best practices for UI performance optimisation.

Im already in the middle of a migration of ongui to ugui. Is there a reason to do ui toolkit at the start instead of finding a way to transition to it? RTS games are UI heavy i think so

[inland tulip]

can someone help w this, im getting into developing and this is a big issue with textures for objects from blender

[gray frigate]

the first one is not doing anything meaningful with the generic type

the latter would, at least, be able to ensure that the correct kind of item instances gets created (since the ItemDefinition is responsible for it)

[uncut karma]

Personal preference mostly if you're deep into the project. I'm building an RTS that is very UI heavy. I'm using UGUI and performance is just fine. Just have to ensure you break up your UI into various sections.

[gray frigate]

you should explain what's actually wrong here! is it the stretched texture on the right?

you need to UV-unwrap your model in Blender

[inland tulip]

how do i tell that its the same tiling as the other wall without reimporting it a couple times?

[gray frigate]

a good UV unwrap will give each surface roughly the same texture density

for rotation, you'll need to check that in Blender (it would be helpful to add a UV checker texture so you can preview the layout)

[peak mountain]

So the code will be called from the LootManager script, that is where it will be used. In the loot manager i check the item type is itemtype gun and then cast it to GunInstance and work on it from there so my theory was I was saving the issues with casting.

[gray frigate]

However, as long as you don't place too many UV seams, it should be pretty consistent

[inland tulip]

k thanks

[plain iron]

From what i can tell from ur videos my game will likely have much more UI to open and close but urs has enough that puts me at ease a little. I guess ill stick with UGUI until i run into problems

Also man that game looks like a great template for a dream game of Legend of Galactic Heroes. Looks cool

[uncut karma]

We have a lot of animated UI elements but the key is to separate out dynamic UI vs static UI. If you have elements that never need to be updated like perhaps the background of a global overlay then you put that on a canvas and put the dynamic text that is updated on the top. I think I have around 40 - 50 canvases at the moment.

[uncut karma]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🙂

[fickle rapids]

How many of you guys here really support unity games made by unity developers.

[fair cove]

I think your question might need more context, what are you trying to find out with polling the community on this? Are you trying to decide if making your game in Unity will affect if people will buy your game or something?

[uncut karma]

I don't support games made in any specific engine. A good or bad game can be made in any engine. If I think a game is going to be good, fun and enjoyable to me then I buy it. If not I don't buy it.

[heady gorge]

okay yall know how sometimes you can interact with a 3d object in a game and it sort of has the camera sort of pan in on the item so you can properly focus on it

what am i supposed to do with that

i got vs code installed already

[heady gorge]

but did you set it up?

like the instructions on that page?

[bitter horizon]

yeah i did set it up with extensions

[balmy kettle]

you need to get it configured for use with unity. if you'd bother reading the guide that the bot linked then you'd know that there are more steps to take

Hello everyone, idk if anyone here knows how to build for Meta Quest, I attempted building and running a project but it's just a black window on the actual headset, doesn't even go to a "vr view" per se. Link works fine when testing it's only when I try and build it for standalone.

[heady gorge]

i was thinking of trying somthing like that but now im just wondering if for the sake of convenience i should have just have the player swap cameras instantly

[stark agate]

you have random using statements. thats your issue.

read the error

[bitter horizon]

yeah i figured

vs code keeps changing my code

[balmy kettle]

get it configured

[stark agate]

hence why they asked you to set it up properly

or use visual studio :P

[bitter horizon]

this is what i got installed

whats wrong

[balmy kettle]

are you intentionally just ignoring the information provided

[bitter horizon]

i got net sdk installed

[balmy kettle]

did you follow the rest of the instructions

if yes: it is configured and there's nothing more you need to do, and you should now see the error underlined in red.
if no: then follow the rest of the troubleshooting steps

[bitter horizon]

aight

thanks alot

[cunning flicker]

Does anybody have an idea why random images in the build just seemingly break? The import settings are identical for all the images pictured but in the build for some reason this particular image just breaks, and it's not just this one

On Windows btw, pretty simple build setup

[fair cove]

Depending on how many objects in your scene can be "inspected" swapping cameras sounds like a lot of extra cameras to manage, if your locking the players ability to move and use abilities and stuff while "inspecting" then maybe having a empty transform for where the camera should rest attached to your objects, or using some kind of distance calculation would let you just reposition the single FPS camera to where it should be?

[fair cove]

Do you have any code that is changing or setting the image? If you just added a totally new Canvas with a Image component and linked your controller graphic to it, then made a build, does it show up how you expect or also randomly break in the same way?

[copper gust]

Not 100% sure but this feels like mipmapping + quality setting related

[cunning flicker]

It's seemingly texture-consistent; when I have a coin texture, every graphic that uses that texture also breaks

It seems like it happens on Raw Images rather than Images, but it's not consistent with what is effected though

Most Raw Images are fine, but others (texture-consistent) are completely busted

[slow dirge]

1. Make sure the texture import settings are configured the same way for different platforms.
2. Make sure all platforms use the same quality settings.

If doesn't help, I'd compare frame debugger info in the editor vs build.

[cunning flicker]

I just discovered that if I set the import settings on the broken textures to be a Sprite, it fixes it for the Raw Images (even though Raw Images don't require Sprites)

[uncut karma]

That's really just a personal preference. Neither is better than the other. Just depends what the overall aesthetic is that you're trying to achieve.

[forest otter]

In my opinion, Unity should remove the default input action asset and start projects without it, letting you make one from scratch

[peak ice]

Hlw. I was a bit confused regarding the current trend about unity ai. Suppose someone enjoys exploring and learning new mechanics in unity.It can be shaders,car physics,procedural stuffs etc. Should they use unity ai for it? I mean that wont be fun right?

[slow dirge]

It depends on what part you find fun exactly. And how you use the AI. You don't have to delegate it all to it, but you could ask it questions that could help you take the right direction.

[vivid cedar]

I think if they did that people would be begging them to add a default one

[fair cove]

Unity also lets you create templates, so you could create a new project, delete the default input and any other cleanup for how youd like to start a fresh project with, then save it as a template - use that project as your future "new project" starting point

[heady gorge]

It has taken me nearly 9 hours, but I have fixed it, completed it, and cleaned it up

This is my first "mini game". I feel liberated.

[forest otter]

What???? That's actually sick

[strong lily]

really cool idea for sure, i didnt understand that also didnt get time to read in to it yet.
thx

[fair cove]

Yup, there are several ways Unity lets you customize how you use the engine - simplest way is just to use File Explorer and copy the entire project folder containing "Assets", "Library" etc and rename it - another way is saving your project as a package in Unitys context menu, then add it to any blank project through Package Manager, just like how you would add Cinemachine for example or something from the asset store, you do the same with your package (you could even upload it to git and pull it in that way from Package Manager) - or you can zip it as a custom "Project Template", do a bit of manual work and move it to the same folder Unity looks at to show you the default templates for your specific version (thats the biggest downside about the latter approach, its version-specific) - you can find tutorials on either approach searching "Unity custom packages" or "Unity custom project templates" @forest otter @strong lily

[strong lily]

i love it. and thank you for all that information!! love when people go into details like that, thx sir!

[latent meadow]

do any of these methods include third party assets? for example, a SpaceMouse package that installs under Packages, instead of Assets

i usually just do the manual copy method (method one in your description), but if a template project can include Packages too, as soon as the latest Hub update hits Linux, i would rather do that

[strong lily]

kinda cool tbh, cuz im just building systems seperated, so later i can just add my sysems into a world and test and enjoy my own little fun xd

[fair cove]

None of them require third party stuff, all native stuff you can do in any version of Unity 5+ I too also usually do the manual first option out of habit, just faster for me than going through "unity hoops" even if it IS part of the engine

[latent meadow]

No, sorry. i mean, if i make a template, can it include myriad third party assets, that may install to Packages

[strong lily]

oo

[fair cove]

What I do really like about the Package Manager now though, is you can have packages that depend on other packages, so your idea of having for example a "generic UI system" and a "generic save/load system" you save as separate packages, you can have a "my cool game" package that depend on both, when you install "my cool game" it also installs the other 2

[latent meadow]

It might not be known yet. i can test later when it hits linux (the hub update). a bit exhausted right now as i just spent over an hour fighting a problem that did not actually exist :/

[strong lily]

ahhh i see what u mean. all makes sense now. ❤️

[fair cove]

Ohh - yeah thats possible, the way the "Package Templates" work, is basiaclly you create a .tar "zip" with a JSON-like file that tells Unity what packages, project settings, starting assets to import, etc this is essentially all that Unity has pre-setup when you click "HDRP" for example and it gives you some sample scenes and imports a bunch of packages for you already, your just manually setting up one of those "HDRP" default templates as your own

[latent meadow]

Awesome! Thank you. your insightful and thought out responses are always appreciated

[strong lily]

lol fun, man, unity is kinda easy to make simple systems when u know very little of the engine it self.

quick 30min, setup for a auto fire turret that tracks "layers" lol.

i like this alot haha.

[lavish flare]

Any tips for making URP look good? It took me a couple clicks in HDRP to have decent lightning and fog but in URP everything feels so washed 🤔

[potent geyser]

I believe the default tone mapping is set to neutral in the post processing. You could start fresh by turning that off (setting it to none)

[clever comet]

im actually doing that right now, URP does look very ugly sometimes

ACES is nice for more accurate colours

[latent meadow]

aces is not 'more accurate', it is just a grading

[clever comet]

its just more consistent

[barren nacelle]

Are mobile games dead

[clever comet]

no

[clever comet]

its also a standard

[barren nacelle]

I don’t think I’ve seen anybody working on a mobile game these days

[latent meadow]

#📱┃mobile

[barren nacelle]

All I see are pc game devs

Still

When I look on social media apps it’s all pc game devs promoting their games

[brisk anvil]

24 hours later both assets are fantastic.
If you get around well with Unity's regular ik (put sockets under bones and play with your pose/animation a bit so it fits) then you don't really need it.

my main use for it was because I needed dynamic ik (jump to zipline and hold it, retargetting animation, etc) so it was pretty useful! otherwise Unity's basic ik is awesome

and magica cloth 2 should be built in :O this asset is freaking incredible I can't believe I only saw it now lol!

[brisk anvil]

there are many, I used to get loads of them on youtube shorts when I used to watch

Also the asset store is full with assets that are optimized specifically for mobile and VR
if you are looking for others, other than #📱┃mobile lots of youtubers have mobile & vr communites, some known ones are Valem Tutorials, Fist Full of Shrimp (also he has a cool blog about how to optimize for mobile and vr) and on X and Reddit you have lots of folks posting mobile at #Unity3D

[lavish flare]

im using ACES but I just feel like URP is a big downgrade from HDRP; but hdrp truly eats fps 😅 maybe I should rephrase it to, "hdrp" is easier to make look something good for someone that doesnt know what he is doing

[clever comet]

its really is I honestly spend -so- much time on URP making it look decent

not a good RP for realism

you need to understand a lot of colour theory and be able to easily identify what makes things look off, lots of skill involved

my advice would be to send your scene to artists and let them tell you whats off, I do that all time

sometimes we look at our scenes too long and we lose the ability to notice exactly whats off

[barren nacelle]

I checked out the YouTubers u mentioned, seems like they mainly make vr games

Which is nice

How do y’all even come up with fun games anymore

I feel like all the ideas have been taken

[brisk anvil]

I agree but on the other hand URP feels much more supported, lots more tutorials guides and blogs on the internet + asset store content from what I saw
Also I find it a lot easier to convert HDRP shader graph and vfx to URP than vice verca

[brisk anvil]

it's mostly about the optimization and how they manage / build stuff

[barren nacelle]

Like if I made a endless runner or battle royale game, there’s already loads of those

[brisk anvil]

and the communities

[barren nacelle]

And it feels like I’m just making a clone of it

These days u gotta think outside the box since normal ideas might not work

[lavish flare]

implementation matters more than the idea

[brisk anvil]

a genre is not just one game, try to combine them add twists or come up with a random specific mechanic and build your world around it

[barren nacelle]

What do you mean

[brisk anvil]

celeste as the idea "a generic 2D parkour game with abillities" sounds boring and done a billion times but the game is still super creative and refreshing

Hollow knight as well, metroidvanias exists for tens of years yet the game about slaying bugs in their kingdom is fun and engaging

[barren nacelle]

Hmm is it?
I’ve never really officially published a game yet so i don’t really know how most of this works, but I’m in the process of making a game and It feels like whatever I try to make there’s already tons of it around

And I can’t really compete with AAA games

[brisk anvil]

also mobile is a market which nowdays is dominated by strong companies and "high tech" style offices, it's mostly indie pc and consoles that enjoy new ideas

[lavish flare]

How many games are pretty much the same? Yet they exist on the same timeline, because their implementation slightly differs. Different art style for example does a lot already. You dont have to be unique to succeed whether its a game or a product imo.

[barren nacelle]

Yea that’s prob why it feels like everyone’s moving to making pc games

[brisk anvil]

Try uploading to Itch.io and Gamejolt, the comments you get from people who play it get you some good self security boost

just use a good thumbnail so people click and try your game

[clever comet]

new ideas are often a twist on existing ideas, if you wanted to tell a story you'd definitely tell a story that's already been told. what makes it different is the twist. what if I changed the location? the time period? the prespective? the style? the aesthetic? the audience?

[brisk anvil]

yep

[clever comet]

theres a million ways to make it new, but really not every unique idea is a good one

[brisk anvil]

yeah also battle royale isn't new,
There was minecraft hypixel hunger games before that, and even other stuff before it

[clever comet]

I agree that implementation is more important, I dont mind playing an RPG for the 10th time because if its done well ill still enjoy it and thats what video games are for

[brisk anvil]

how many battlefields and call of duties exists again?

[barren nacelle]

I see

[clever comet]

way too many lol

people still play all of them

[brisk anvil]

yeah and the player count only goes up

[barren nacelle]

Isn’t itch.io for pc games, I’m making a mobile game

[brisk anvil]

I'd argue now is the best time to get into Unity

[barren nacelle]

Do they

[brisk anvil]

it's for any

[barren nacelle]

Even if they do play

[clever comet]

they do

[brisk anvil]

you'd find mostly pc horror games but lots of mobile as well

[barren nacelle]

They’ll all say it feels like a cod clone

[brisk anvil]

so what

[lavish flare]

who cares

everything is a clone of a clone

[barren nacelle]

I was planning on making a endless runner game

[latent meadow]

that sounds like it would take forever! 😄

[barren nacelle]

But I’m lowkey scared since there’s already so many

[lavish flare]

brother

build the core idea, get people to playtest

see if there is interest

[warm ore]

I want to make a vr space exploration game

[lavish flare]

if not, iterate or go on with the next idea

[latent meadow]

#🌱┃start-here

[barren nacelle]

You’re right

I should do this

[lavish flare]

im currently building yet another arena shooter and I playe tested it with like 10 people and validated that its an idea that might actually work out

how many arena games already exist? 🙂

[barren nacelle]

I should find a few people to test out my game and see what they think

[latent meadow]

you can make a #1180170818983051344 and ask there

[barren nacelle]

I already made a dev log actually

It’s called endless runner game

[latent meadow]

then you are ahead of the game. note, that is the only place on this server you can ask for that

[barren nacelle]

Didn’t really gain much attraction tho

[barren nacelle]

I see

[lavish flare]

could spend some money if you cant find any

pay people to test with you

[barren nacelle]

Where can I do that

[lavish flare]

its the internet use your imagination

[barren nacelle]

Ah I see

YouTubers

Basically

[hushed hamlet]

Steam is prob 250k titles, itch another 1m? (although a mixed bag of course) Then consoles to consider. Given arena shooters is fairly popular, I'd assume you'll be facing at least 10k reasonable games for competition. But you should pull actual stats to check.

[lavish flare]

Whether there is competition or not, if I believe in my game then there is a chancei t will work out. My mindset at least

[hushed hamlet]

(it's part of the reason most publishers I talk with now are budgeting 1.5x to 2x marketing cost to dev cost these days, where it used to be more 1 to 1)

[lavish flare]

right, I come from a webdev background as a lead and from my experience if you want something in the market you gotta spend at least half of it on marketing and with todays velocity you will be looking for even more.

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah plus not every game is made for money or an audience. 🙂 I know most of mine are because its meaningful to me.

[latent meadow]

understandable. i tried to work on a game for profit. i had no interest in it. if it is not something i have heart in, it won't get done.

[hushed hamlet]

So true.

[lavish flare]

Yeah I feel that one.

[sand harbor]

Threaded where? I looked in channels and theres only archived game design channel

[sand harbor]

Hi, yall, I dont know much about game design and need a way to comunicate to the player when, during the duel, they can aim and when to shoot. I don't really want to use on screen prompts, cause that ruins the immersion imo, but just making the reticle grey, when aiming, then white for when to draw didnt feel intuitive at all, please help

[cinder lark]

i have a question

[latent meadow]

#🌱┃start-here

[dusk lichen]

UI builder kinda annoying to use

why is there even a minimize if you cant use it

[gray frigate]

a "minimize"?

[silent mica]

Probably referring to greyed out OS window button. I imagine this is something Microsoft prefers.

[jagged cove]

that's true, I bought a second monitor specifically for the UI builder screen

[gray frigate]

huh, you can't minimize a floating window containing the UI Builder?

[dusk lichen]

yeah literally, have to keep it on the 2nd monitor

[gray frigate]

are you not able to minimize floating windows in general on Windows?

[dusk lichen]

no i can, it works on unity

but editor popped out

minimize greyed out

but i can see why, its because they dont make the editor a separate window when you pop it out

they should really

[heady gorge]

Is anyone familiar with dbd style skill checks? Are those just sliders?

[worldly cave]

are they one of those clock like reaction time checks?

[gray frigate]

I wouldn't use an actual Slider component, but it's kind of the same idea

[undone monolith]

is there a way to give a suggestion for a unity learn pathway specifically?

[worldly cave]

Not a direct way no i dont think

unless the pathways have some "review" or "feedback" button somewhere

actually dont they have reviews??

[undone monolith]

wait was the templates tab always a thing in the Unity hub?

[silent mica]

I believe Unity had a version with window flags where you could, but IIRC people complained about how every Unity window ended up showing up in taskbar and alt+tab interaction.
I believe the additional window decorations were also part of this, but this is the compromise they landed on. Unity used to maintain their own windowing logic.

[delicate trench]

It's new feature I don't saw before.

[potent geyser]

It just came out, yes

[undone monolith]

Is Unity 6.4 safe to use yet or is it still in an open beta state?

[potent geyser]

It's the recommended version to use

[undone monolith]

Wasn't it having errors with the shaders? I remember a lot of people complaining about it

I personally am unaware about these errors since I always use LTS versions

[potent geyser]

That's a very specific thing to ask, who knows. Maybe? Maybe it's been fixed in the numerous updates/minor releases since you last read about it? You need to dig into it to actually see if it was the case and if it still is.

Otherwise, no need to wring your hands over it, just try it out?

[lean ridge]

Hi all. I read about the new CLI with hub 3.18 but the release notes suggest it’s a separate binary install on the hub page. Can’t seem to find it though unless I’m looking in the wrong place?

[long sapphire]

Hello there

Is there anyone that can see this ?

[near wigeon]

no

[long sapphire]

Lol

[final harbor]

we back!

[fast latch]

I am doing the course Create with code unit 3 I am just a bit confused how can i make a plane solid?

[near wigeon]

the plane is already solid with the mesh collider

[latent meadow]

visually, use a flattened cube. if you mean solid in the fact he is not falling through, see navs answer

man, emoticons are still screwy, or i need to clear my cache

[fast latch]

when i run it the thing is the player just goes through it

[latent meadow]

go back and review all the steps in the tutorial, i am 99% sure it is covered, unless Unity is trying to be socratic again. does it continue to fall, or only that far?

[fast latch]

it continue to fall the tutorial doesnt cover it because its already preset

[near wigeon]

you'd have to show the setup of player and scripts

[latent meadow]

move your character up slightly higher before pressing play

[stuck flower]

Your player is the one that isn't solid

Your collider is a trigger

[fast latch]

Thank you! 😭

[hoary mural]

i builded my game prototype first time and I have a strange problem with graphics... it appears randomly. The problem is not in the editor and I have no idea what could be causing it

Hey guys, i imported my Charakter from Blender and saw this Shadow typ thing and i have no clue where this comes from and why this happens. Would be nice to get some help & ideas to fix it

[worldly cave]

Whats that?

[worldly cave]

Ambient occlusion

if youre on urp it should be a renderer feature you can adjust or disable

[lean ridge]

Is the new CLI to be installed after the hub and essentially via the hub? Documentation isn’t that clear but that’s what I’m questioning.

[storm patio]

the cli is available as the hub, and a headless version can apparently also be downloaded separately from the hub (but i have not seen where)

at least, that's what i gathered last time i checked #💻┃unity-talk message

[lean ridge]

Just trying to wrap my brain around this. We run a unity lab at work (high school) and I’m prepping for scripted install this summer. Having an awful time with old headless method and saw the news about the new CLI. Thought maybe that could save me some headache. But I can’t find the dang thing.

Like there didn’t seem to be a download for it nor instructions on where you install it from. Guide said to reference hub page but hub page had nothing about it (just the gui hub)

[atomic folio]

Who even uses Unity AI

[brisk anvil]

it's pretty good for quick stuff, and the animations one is very powerful and gives legit results

[cursive abyss]

Thanks fixed it

[brisk anvil]

is there a #shadergraph

#urp

I'm trying stuff lmao

I have a bug in shader graph where I can't connect a node the second time unless I disconnect it's output first.

it seems common / popular since 2022, should I still report it?

[sage basin]

https://unity.huh.how/graphics/shader-graph/vert-frag

[worldly cave]

#1390346776804069396

theres also #📑┃channel-directory

[gray dirge]

Probably you

[brisk anvil]

Thanks, but It does eventually connect and compile if I delete the existing output first, then reconnect it. So I don’t think it’s a real vertex/fragment incompatibility, because then it should stay invalid. Feels more like Shader Graph’s editor state/port validation getting stuck until the edge is recreated.

[sage basin]

Hard to say without seeing it tbh

[brave lark]

hi hi, i could REALLY use some help. i spent like a super long time tweaking this nightmare configuration in the insprector, but i am on run mode. please tell me there is a way to keep everything rn when im already in playmode

[brisk anvil]

do you have cinemachine in the project?

[brave lark]

no clue what that is so probably no

[brisk anvil]

can you take a screenshot of everything you changed and then copy the values?

you can also right click on some values and copy them, which later allow you to paste directly

[atomic folio]

Wouldn't that make you feel lazy

[brave lark]

i feel like just chanbging the values alone isnt going to fix it, ive had different results with the same values but consistently

i have no clue

[sage basin]

You might be right. No harm reporting it if you have the time and a small repro case

[brisk anvil]

I think it makes me efficient, it's not that I'm not using the engine or not building, so not lazy

[brave lark]

but ig ill try so there is no way? i dont get how unity still doesnt have a feature to just save your shit if you fucked up and changed it in play mode. like bro

[atomic folio]

Fair

[brisk anvil]

you can try copying the whole components you changed pasting somewhere else, then pasting back

[brisk anvil]

oh you can also copy everything

select all the objects you changed in the Hierarchy, CTRL + C, try to paste ctrl+v to see you copied,

Then exit play mode and paste again.

[brave lark]

you have got to be kidding me

so i made screenshots

and i put in every value

or at least im quite sure i did

[brisk anvil]

are you still in playmode?

[brave lark]

and now it combusts

no not anymore

[brisk anvil]

well, the second time you do things you usually do them better

[brave lark]

thats like a full hour of work gone

[brisk anvil]

at least you learned, happens to all of us

[brave lark]

i didnt learn anything cuz this physics engine is doing random shit

sorry im just kinda frustrated rn

[brisk anvil]

I'd strongly recommend you to enable playmode tint in the Unity settings

[brave lark]

i knew i was in playmode

😭

but i needed to see live changes

and thoguht surely there is a feature to keep your changes

[brisk anvil]

Also I have this auto installed on every project I build. one of the best assets you will use occasionally

Hey everyone. I need some good recommendations for 1990s-esque simcade rally car vehicle physics. Any price range will do.

[potent geyser]

Have you looked on the asset store?

[upper igloo]

why wont this if statement work?

[storm patio]

this is a unity server, also you don't have an if statement there

[upper igloo]

oh, also whats wrong with talking about unity code in a unity server

[storm patio]

that isn't unity code

note that c, c++, and c# are all separate programming languages

[peak briar]

This is c++

Unless you’ve rewritten unity to use c++ then this can’t be unity

[upper igloo]

What game engine can acualy use c++

[peak briar]

Unreal is the most popular engine that uses c++
Although lots of other AAA games have used C++ on their own proprietary engines

[upper igloo]

Can you import blender assets into unreal engin

[peak briar]

Yes

[potent geyser]

This is the Unity server, if you have questions for Unreal, go to their server.

[peak briar]

Although I would recommend taking this to a unreal server

Came back to unity after break and importing fps controllers from unity hub or asking ai assistant to make simple script i paste inside capsule with main camera just results in errors and nothing working. I'm not programmer and just want simple controller to test my levels i build with

[copper gust]

It’s not, unity has multiple templates, tutorials and offical assets to help you do so

Don’t expect good results using ai

[chrome radish]

No offense but again, you're tagged as programmer so of course it easier for you. It used to be drag and drop to have fps controller in your projects, doesnt feel like it anymore

When you initially drag an asset into the scene, the origin of that asset will be wherever your mouse is. Is there a way to move an object like that again

Wdym move an object like that again? Do you want to snap the object to where your mouse is?

do you mean you want to snap to the nearest surface?

I came across what might be a rendering bug, I had an obj that was 3 separate meshes, I imported it, set the material to transparent, and if one was lined up behind the other, you could see the behind one clear as day

[latent meadow]

#1391720450752516147 it is not really a bug. it has to do with how depth is calculated in transparents

[vagrant bramble]

It's a feature of its own some desire, but I had to adjust and reimport the mesh as fbx

[latent meadow]

there are several ways to mitigate it, and several causes of it

[vagrant bramble]

I migrated from roblox studio, you could get the same effect if you gave two parts the glass material

And made it even slightly transparent

[bitter horizon]

code doesnt work from the unity learn tutorial

[latent meadow]

!input

[vagrant root]

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

[bitter horizon]

its in input system package

doesnt work still

[latent meadow]

the error you presented is what i sent the fix for, aside from that, go over your code and see what you missed

[balmy kettle]

you are explicitly not using the input system package with the code from that tutorial

[bitter horizon]

so the tutorial is outdated or sum?

[latent meadow]

just flip it to use both

[balmy kettle]

it's using the old input manager, so you need to change the setting to use that (or both) in order for that code to work.

[bitter horizon]

holy fuck magic!

yo thanks dude

[latent meadow]

"!Science!"

[undone monolith]

They should update the Unity Learn website honestly. The outdated information there confuses me sometimes as well, I have to Google the rest

[balmy kettle]

it also generally helps to read your errors because it told you that you are trying to use the Input class but your input handling was set to Input System

[latent meadow]

pretty sure they do specify versions, but yes. (regarding the learning site)

[bitter horizon]

there were no versions above the 2019 version

[latent meadow]

well.. 😄

[undone monolith]

Yeah they specify versions for 6.3, 6.0 and older versions, but they haven't updated the information there itself

[bitter horizon]

yeah the just realized the tutorial is 6 years old

[latent meadow]

you should file a bug report (or whatever the current means are for the learning site) the bit i saw had been updated, but i have historically seen what you are mentioning

[undone monolith]

Wait what are you referring to?

[bitter horizon]

begginer scripting course on unity learn

[undone monolith]

The pathways in the learn website does feature newer versions

[bitter horizon]

oh what

https://learn.unity.com/course/beginner-scripting/unity-version?version=2019.3

they didnt update this one then

[undone monolith]

Oh yeah that's strange. These ones are old

[bitter horizon]

really old

is it still worth to learn

[undone monolith]

Are you learning programming as a first time for Unity?

[bitter horizon]

yep

i have 3 years experience in 3d modeling but never coded before

[undone monolith]

I'd recommend checking out the Junior Programmer Pathway. It supports 6.0, although some information there are slightly outdated too

[bitter horizon]

okay

[undone monolith]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

[bitter horizon]

should i scrap the begginer scripting stuff i was doing

[undone monolith]

If information there are too outdated, probably yes

[latent meadow]

honestly, the one from 2019 confused me, more than helped.

i localized it as reference though

[bitter horizon]

alright thanks

thanks @latent meadow

[finite igloo]

hey guys anyone knows good Mathf.Lerp guide in yt?

[undone monolith]

I'd recommend reading the Unity documentation

Unity already has covered this

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mathf.Lerp.html

[balmy palm]

Does anyone know if theres a way to change texture2D properties on runtime via code?

[warm elbow]

If Unity Shader Graph Nodes were the same as Blender life would be soooooo much easier

[topaz wadi]

hi, is there a discord channel here equivalent to "Donut Help?"

a bit embarassing to flood this general channel with dumb questions

[charred fog]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[topaz wadi]

im already there and reading stuff

just in case I get stuck

[worldly cave]

This channel is the general help channel

altough most questions especially beginner ones can be googled easily

[boreal river]

Hello, guys! Is it a glitch or something or that's how Unity renders image when you move in the editor?

[silent mica]

Select something and press F. Try to use WASD to move instead of scroll wheel.

[boreal river]

oh, fixed thanks! What was it?

[silent mica]

Clipping planes get adjusted when you use the scroll wheel or focus on small/large objects.

[gray frigate]

the further apart the near and far clip planes are, the less precise depth values become

so they have to stay somewhat close together

(that's why Unity doesn't just set them to 1e-6 and 1e6 and call it a day)

[strong lily]

has anyone used
Universal Animation Library 2 pack from itchio?
is it still up to date and will work with unity 2022.3 lts?

i would goto their discord, but link broken :S

[worldly cave]

Any reason youre asking?

looks like just an animation pack

[topaz wadi]

currently following this tutorial, mine is on the right. This tutorial was 3-4 years ago, why is the velocity marked out?

are there some huge changes for scripting?

[balmy kettle]

read the warning/suggestion and find out

[worldly cave]

we use linearVelocity now

but also yes your ide would tell you why

[strong lily]

well just before i buy the 14$ package, just wanna know if anyone was using it..

im not sure with downloading assets from things and making sure they work with my unity 2022.3 lts

[topaz wadi]

thx

[worldly cave]

its an animation pack

[potent geyser]

How animations work hasn't changed, so it's likely still useable.

[worldly cave]

its engine agnostic (technically)

[strong lily]

that will answer my question, thanks peeps 🙂

[amber cobalt]

sry i dont know if this is the right channel. Is there a reason why my wheel colliders when spawned look this messed up? in this tutorial these wheel colliders are almost the same size and same direction as the wheels. What could be responsible for this? can the origin of this cause further issues with other features in unity?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr4eb4F9PSQ&list=PLyh3AdCGPTSLg0PZuD1ykJJDnC1mThI42 ( colliders visible at 0.51)

[vivid cedar]

your object has a scale of 93

[amber cobalt]

to small?, what would be the normal scale?

[vivid cedar]

normal scale is 1

93 is very, very large

that's why your wheel colliders are very very large

Basically you're importing the model as way too small, so you tried to compensate by scaling the object up

but that has an effect on everything

The best solution here is to move your renderer out of the main hierarchy

Right now you have this:

Root (MeshRenderer, Rigidbody probably, scaled to 93,93,93)
   Wheels```

Change it to this:

```Root (Rigidbody, Scaled to 1, 1, 1)
   Renderer (MeshRenderer, scaled however you want, probably 93,93,93)
   Wheels (scaled to 1, 1, 1)```

Basically the key rule of thumb to follow is "If an object has children, it must not be scaled"

[heady gorge]

how would i rotate something as if it were a clock hand
like having one end be the sort of center ig

[near wigeon]

put the pivot there

blender or make child have appropriate offset from parent and rotate parent instead

[heady gorge]

pivot
thank ye

[vivid cedar]

simple setup in unity to get you going:

• Make sure tool handle position is set to "pivot"
• Make a cube
• Change x scale to 10
• Right click the cube and say "make empty parent"
• Set the cube (the child)'s x position to 5 (half the scale we set above)
• Select the empty parent
• Rotate the empty parent on the z axis

[amber cobalt]

thanks for answering, problem is, i didnt scale anything. I import the model, thing has a scale of 1; the childrend of the model have different ones, such as an example wheels have 93.93187, the body has a scale of 416. is the whole model itself to big when imported? if it is to big, how should i make it smaller if:"If an object has children, it must not be scaled" ? Should i make the model smaller in blender? (i created it there)

[vivid cedar]

they're probably scaled in Blender then? It all depends on your export settings in blender and import settings in unity

you probably want to bake the transforms in blender (or apply them or whatever)

that makes all the scales positions and rotations of the sub objects identity values and repositions the actual mesh vertices so they all come in as 1,1,1 and positioned properly (iirc)

Yeah I think "apply transforms" is a blender export option

[gray frigate]

By default, you'll get a 100x scale on FBX files exported from blender

the "Apply Scalings" option defaults to "All Local"

"FBX All" will give you a scale of 1

[vivid cedar]

you also have an issue here where your z axis (blue arrow) is pointing to the tank's right, which is wrong. So you'll need to fix that orientation issue as well. That's also done in blender export settings

[gray frigate]

scene view is on Global

however, the tank is also not rotated

so that's still correct 😛

[vivid cedar]

yeah

[amber cobalt]

oh yeah i know where to do that, thanks!

[topaz wadi]

why is the C# on unity different from the C# I know

[worldly cave]

its the same C#

just a different workflow

[topaz wadi]

a bit confused by this

[balmy kettle]

what specifically about that is confusing you?

[topaz wadi]

here's what it equals to

[topaz wadi]

idk its just confusing

[worldly cave]

whats confusing you here specifically

[balmy kettle]

in what way

[topaz wadi]

i got blocked for like 3 messages

[worldly cave]

what

[balmy kettle]

you start off by claiming that unity c# is different from the c# that you know then you go on to say a simple if statement is confusing but this is literally basic c# no different in any version of c# that ever existed

[topaz wadi]

all I say is that im confused by it, idk man. it's okay to not reply if u dnt wanna help

[balmy kettle]

i literally cannot help until you explain what you are confused by

hence why i asked what specifically is confusing about it

[worldly cave]

this guy is just trolling atp

because what kind of help are you expecting here? a there there and a pat on the back

we cant help you understand something if we dont know why and how it confuses you

[amber cobalt]

ok so i exported it now with -y forward orientation at first: after adding the wheel colliders, they all are rotated 90° automatically, so i thought its wrong export direction again and exported it with -x forward orientation, but the problem persists. should i just rotate them atp or will this cause problems further development? (also, which of them is angled correctly?) [edit: the right one shouldve worked already, its working now, i wasted 1h on this bullshit :( ]

[pale furnace]

For mantle systems is it usually better to have custom placed trigger boxes or some kind of code in the player's movement that automatically checks for edges?

[spark tundra]

hello, I need a help about this issue I'm currently facing.

I am working on a 3D project in Unity HDRP.
I was using Unity 6000.2.6f2 version.

and It worked fine. But I had to Upgrade the Editor version to 6000.4.6f1 (latest) due to some issues, and Now editor is Fine but there is a another problem.

I using Local volume profiles for the cover the area of my games map. Like I made my game Map load and unload as a tiles and each tile had it's own box collier for the volume profile to update.

it worked fine in old version but now it won't work like that.

In the editor (Scene Mode) I have to manually Toggle the effects to see the updated area's volume data. But some of them are working( volumetric clouds and fog etc..)

but the colors and some other things are not working as expected and due to that game is not kind a looks wired.

here is the video that showing the issue. If you know some way to fix it. that will be a big help.

[gray frigate]

If you can make the latter behave well, then it's much nicer – you don't need to hand-author every single mantle point

[spark tundra]

sorry for the disturb 😶 i mean I kind a should have post the problem after your answer came.

[coral violet]

why does that happen

[worldly cave]

why did you crosspost

after already posting it in the correct location

[viscid egret]

Did you have a need for 6.4 specifically? What made you go for 6.4 over something like 6.3 LTS?

Do you have a cam with MainCamera tag on it somewhere? Saw thread related to that mentioning it helped -> But it was URP

[coral violet]

Wdym

Oh

[worldly cave]

dont crosspost

you posted in the correct channel

dont crosspost into the incorrect channel then

[spark tundra]

I used the 6000.2.6f2 but it had a Issue of Crashing inspector sometimes when Mostly displaying array type components.

It became really annoying so I thought the latest version is a good call. when I did move to this, that inspector crashing issue is fixed but then this happens.

[spark tundra]

umm No It's only My main camera. and all other things handled by Cinemachine (Camera related) , so I don't use any other cameras anywhere.

[viscid egret]

Ah okay but it does have that MainCamera tag on it right? Was just what mentioned helped in that thread so might be worth checking.

[spark tundra]

Yeah it is. I just checked it again.

should I down grade the Editor to fix it? I mean that case wasn't in 6000.2.6f2 version. any recommendations of Stable Unity Editor version?

[viscid egret]

I generally find LTS more stable than "Recommended", you could try going to the latest version of 6.3 see if you have better luck with that.

[undone monolith]

Although 6.4 is recommended, from what I've seen, there's a lot of users lately complaining about errors they've been having from that editor version. Like you said, LTS is usually the best, especially when starting out and it's personally what I use for my projects

[spark tundra]

Thanks, I'll try, tbh Switching editor's is a big pain.
😑

[near wigeon]

not a good idea to switch a project version unless you have a real specific reason to do so

[viscid egret]

but if you do stick to lts <..<

[spark tundra]

yeah I agreed with it but I never thought this issue.

[latent meadow]

6.0 is the stable version, but downgrading is not really a supported thing.

[spark tundra]

Now I'm kind a scared...

[latent meadow]

the 6.3 suggestion is safer than 6.4

[spark tundra]

Yeah I mean I agreed too. I'll gve it a try, few backups are Ready just in case.

[spark tundra]

6.3, yeah I'll might try that, I post on a reddit about this and 1 person told me the same.

Chat GPT (NO Offence) recommenced the Unity 2022.3 LTS or Unity 6000.3 LTS too.

I think i'll go with 6.3

[gray frigate]

You should not attempt to downgrade. You should go back to a revision of the project before you upgraded the editor version.

[spark tundra]

I kind a have a fear of Downgrading too. My friend told me that it's mostly ok to upgrade but downgrading can cause an unexpected issues.

[gray frigate]

yes; unity knows how to convert old versions of serialized data into newer versions

but older editor versions will have no clue about the newer versions of data

You should use the Rendering Debugger to examine what's actually happening. It can show you the exact volume data that any camera (including the Scene view camera) is seeing

I'm guessing you'll see stale data for certain volume components until you toggle post-processing off ando n

[spark tundra]

hmm I think I need to try that.
I mean other than that issue the engine is working much better without having inspector crashes.

hey just In case is there any safer way to Downgrade I mean yeah I know the risk but,

you know we must have a backup plan or something like that. ~_~

[vagrant bramble]

Is there a way to make a mesh have a double sided material

[amber cobalt]

my wheel colliders are rotated 90 degrees, why? how do i fix it?

[gray frigate]

That's a property of the material itself, not the model.

[vagrant bramble]

So how do I make it double sided

[gray frigate]

Some shaders do not have a "double sided" option

what shader are you using?

[vagrant bramble]

I haven't touched its shader, it's standard right now

[spark tundra]

what is the RP?

Built in, URP, HDRP?

[gray frigate]

The wheel collider expects a specific direction to be the axis of rotation. Sounds like you've got the wrong one here

[spark tundra]

URP & HDRP have the toggle in metirial though.

[gray frigate]

yeah, their "standard" shaders have that option

[vagrant bramble]

What are these

[gray frigate]

I'm not sure what the best option is in BiRP

[gray frigate]

screenshot your material inspector for me

[spark tundra]

render pipeline.

[gray frigate]

i want to double check what you're using

[vagrant bramble]

I created the material in unity and slapped the albedo onto it

[amber cobalt]

how do i change the specific direction for the axis of rotation?

[gray frigate]

You'd need to put the model on a child object, so that you can rotate it to match the expected axis

[vagrant bramble]

(double sided global did nothing)

[spark tundra]

yeah Built in materials don't have the Double sided Toggle in them.

but there was a way to do it by editing the shader.

[vagrant bramble]

Which shader do I use

[spark tundra]

it's standard one and it's for built-in rp

hold up I'll try to drop the shader with it give me a moment.

[vagrant bramble]

There's a bunch of shaders that make it double sided like the ui ones but makes it visible through itself

[spark tundra]

you want to make it wokr on mesh, correct?

[vagrant bramble]

Yeah

[spark tundra]

ok then wait a moment.

@vagrant bramble hey is it okay I DM ya?

[vagrant bramble]

Yeah

[spark tundra]

ok

[coral violet]

Should I use blender to make my assets

[wanton jasper]

is there a reason why my tech and classroom, post asking for help was deleted?

[undone monolith]

There are other 3d modelling software too, just in case you're unaware, but the most recommended and most popular choice is indeed Blender

[coral violet]

Fair thanks for the info

[undone monolith]

could you elaborate more?

[wanton jasper]

I made a post, asking for help trying to transfer some animations from one asset to another, from the Horse animset pro, to my own character. And when I looked at it today it was gone.

[coral violet]

Also what is the best version of unity should I use

[coral violet]

Wtf

That’s weird

[undone monolith]

have you perhaps tried making the post again?

[wanton jasper]

I’m wondering if I did something wrong, so when I do repost it, it’s not against any rule or anything.

[coral violet]

Ion think that it breaks the rules lowk

[undone monolith]

I would really recommend using an LTS version (Long Time Support)
6.3 LTS is a good choice

6.4 currently has a few issues, not sure why it is recommended

[worldly cave]

a post where?

in this discord?

[coral violet]

Im lowk new to unity, how do i know what version im in

Because I’m literally just doing shit and praying to work

[undone monolith]

in your Unity hub, check your Installs tab

[wanton jasper]

Yes I made a sub thread under the tech and classroom channel. But when I went to look at it today it was gone.

[coral violet]

Maybe that’s why my probuilder lost it

[undone monolith]

if you downloaded 6.4, my advice is to delete that

[worldly cave]

you made a post in #1157336089242112090 asking for help to transfer animations between 2 assets?

yeah it got removed because thats almost certainly not where you would make that kind of post

[coral violet]

I’ll check, you might’ve saved me from a incoming migraine

[wanton jasper]

Oh I made it under news and tech???? That’s my fault, I could have sworn I made it under tech and class support

[worldly cave]

well i dont know what you made it under

i dont see a single channel called tech and class support here ?

[coral violet]

Also

[worldly cave]

i assumed it was #1157336089242112090

can you link the channel you are talking about

[coral violet]

Do u use #1390346776804069396 to post ur renders or to get help for specific problems

[undone monolith]

Correct

[wanton jasper]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1402650252443652377

[worldly cave]

the latter

[coral violet]

Man the tutorial guy really ment it when he said unity is a love hate relationship

[worldly cave]

yeah honest to god i dont even have access to that channel, if you need help with animations you use #🏃┃animation

[coral violet]

I see

[undone monolith]

If it's a Unity issue, sure but Blender has their own discord

[coral violet]

No like

I just wanna post my rendering in unity

[worldly cave]

then no

[wanton jasper]

Ohhh I gotcha I’ll try there. Thank you!!

[worldly cave]

theres no channel for that

outside of #🏆┃daily-win and #1180170818983051344

[coral violet]

So I can js send it here?

[worldly cave]

no

because this is a help channel

[coral violet]

Oh

wait

So this server is a help server

[worldly cave]

yes

not a social space

[coral violet]

Damn

[worldly cave]

no off topic or general chat of any kind

purely Unity assistance

[latent meadow]

you should #🌱┃start-here

[coral violet]

Ohhh

[charred fog]

That channel is in the Educators category as you might have noticed, and it's for classroom support for teachers.

[undone monolith]

A rule of thumb, before asking a question here, be sure to do thorough research, which includes Googling your problems. Asking here should be your last option, especially if the solution to your problem is really simple

[coral violet]

Yeah I do that alot, thank you tho

So 6.4 is just buggy?

[undone monolith]

Apparently, yes
I haven't faced those issues since I always use LTS versions to be on the safe side

[coral violet]

Like in terms of tools and shaders and stuff?

[undone monolith]

Correct

[coral violet]

Well all my homies hate on 6.4🔥🔥

Anyways uh

I’m gonna remake some renders wish me luck💯

[low dagger]

it says use input manager
if input manager is legacy and disabled by default shouldn't i just use the newer input system

this course even recognizes that newer versions default to the input system

[balmy kettle]

it's typically best to use the same version of the editor that the course(s) you are following use. but also there's nothing wrong with using the input manager, you just need to change a setting and restart the editor to make it work

also if you did want to use the input system you'd have to go and learn that separately to continue following along with that course

[low dagger]

yea i get that

but it's all independent research from here anyway i imagine

[wispy pollen]

i made a elk character for my n64 ARG horror game! what do you guys think and what should I change? (pretty bare bones right now but it is a very early model and still has lots of stuff to change)

[balmy kettle]

#1180170818983051344 to solicit feedback and #🏆┃daily-win to just show off your work, this channel is not a showcase channel

[near wigeon]

this is Unity editor dev help

[low dagger]

i was just curious if learning to use the input manager would be a waste of my time if newer projects will just use the input system anyway

but there's no harm learning both

[balmy kettle]

it's not a waste because you won't need to pause your current learning to go learn something else first.
the input system is better imo, but there's nothing wrong with the input manager

[low dagger]

okay thanks

i think i'll just go through the course as is

then come back and swap to the new system

[wispy pollen]

oops sorry lol

Hi! How do I stop the Race Condition problem where an object collides with 2 different objects at the exact same time? I tried using a bool but didn't work

[gray frigate]

what did you actually do?

[feral pike]

The tennis ball is supposed to end the episode when it touches the gray zone, but also if the ball touches the same part of the court 2 times.

[gray frigate]

so it's trying to end the current rally twice?

[dense escarp]

Was does most people hate gtag locomotion games

[gray frigate]

The first thing that comes to mind: the tennis ball should tell a "game controller" that the rally should end

[near wigeon]

this is a Unity dev help discord not random discussions about games

[gray frigate]

it's okay if the ball asks it to end the rally more than once

but the requests will be ignored

[feral pike]

yea, twice if the ball touches the line between green and gray

[gray frigate]

you said you tried to prevent this

[dense escarp]

I mean I did ask once in this server how do I make gtag locomotion games and no one helped

[gray frigate]

show me how you did that

[feral pike]

ok

[gray frigate]

we get an abnormal number of people trying to make a "gtag fangame" with zero prior unity experience

[near wigeon]

because its not something you can easily answer.. its a nonsense question.
You begin by doing it any of the other game styles, learn the basics and build up

this generally leads to extremely confusing problems

Hey so i downloaded the latest version of unity and I'm in the project but, while downloading it, it paused a few times and i cancelled it but, now when i opened the project it opened like, the version somehow downloaded could there be errors occuring

Like there's no problem i just got in the project but could there be errors occuring afterwards

[undone monolith]

Lemme guess, you downloaded 6.4?

[candid lark]

Is the update downloaded fully

[worldly cave]

im confused as to what you are asking here

were you downloading or installing?

[undone monolith]

I already know what his issue is, but let's double check

[candid lark]

I'm asking if there would be any errors occuring afterwards, like can i get in the project without the version being fully downloaded

[gray frigate]

i don't know what "the version somehow downloaded" means

if you've opened the editor, then it is clearly installed on your computer

[feral pike]

https://pastes.dev/4g7gngrEpF

[undone monolith]

have you downloaded Unity 6.4 editor?

[worldly cave]

its a bit pedantic... but there is a very clear and obvious difference between "downloading" something and "installing" something

so i asked for you to clarify

[latent meadow]

Big difference

[undone monolith]

#💻┃code-beginner btw

[gray frigate]

oh, I see: you cancelled the installation, but the Hub is now showing that you have the editor installed anyway?

[candid lark]

I uninstalled unity fully before and downloaded it and, now it wanted a version for me to install , but when i was installing the version it got paused and i even cancelled it to reinstall it, but the project can be opened somehow.

[worldly cave]

it probably tried to install a newer version of the editor

but you still have the old version installed which is the one that opened

thats my theory at least

[candid lark]

Yeah exactly, I'm asking it because I don't want to errors happening when I'm middle of something

[worldly cave]

if you arent sure you can just uninstall the editor version and reinstall it properly

[gray frigate]

It's possible that you interrupted the hub while it was installing additional modules; you'd still have a working editor install

[worldly cave]

also are you sure

it was the editor

and not the hub itself

because the hub consistently has new versions ready to be installed

[candid lark]

bro what, no i remember uninstalling everything about unity before

Hold on let me actually check the version

Yeah it's 6.4

[topaz wadi]

what does he mean by this? he didn't put his object on his canvas or sum sht

[worldly cave]

if its a UGUI object then yeah it has to be on the canvas

[candid lark]

A version cannot be opened if it's not fully downloaded right

[worldly cave]

installed* and typically yes

[undone monolith]

delete 6.4
download 6.3 LTS instead since 6.4 is known to have some issues

[candid lark]

is that why you got 6.3 lts in your user

[strong lily]

i still on 2022.3 lts ;o

[candid lark]

okay i am gonna do that

[gray frigate]

you are weirdly dedicated to warning people about the terrors of 6.4

looking at your message history

[charred fog]

Updates are constantly coming out, check the change logs if issues you had have been solved already.

[candid lark]

If 6.4 is full of bugs why does it say recommended

[gray frigate]

Unity will generally recommend the latest major release of Unity

[undone monolith]

Not sure but it's best to be on the safe side and use LTS versions

[gray frigate]

It is true that new releases are going to be buggier at first

6.4 is on its sixth patch release, so it's pretty fresh

note how 6.3 is on patch 15 (and 6.0 is on patch 74)

It is reasonable to use the newest LTS.

(LTS means 'long term support' – that major version of Unity will get updates for longer than most releases)

Blender is actually getting me tired af bro

I feel old

note that it does not mean "no bugs"; it just means you'll get patches for longer

I think it shouldn't be labelled as recommended or should be available to public if there's still ongoing issues, especially new users wouldn't have any idea what to do
