[worldly cave]

which can be solved with a simple restart*

[undone monolith]

I personally don't know since I always use LTS versions but according to the screeenshots, there were errors about shaders and URP assets

[gray frigate]

that is incredibly vague

[undone monolith]

@gray frigate found it

[candid lark]

Is rigging a body for a game easy

Low poly

[worldly cave]

how long is a piece of string?

[gray frigate]

that looks like a corruption in the global package cache

[gray frigate]

a basic automatic weighting will probably work fine

[gray frigate]

if the contents of the global cache are mangled, then every project you make will wind up with invalid package data

i've seen this cause very weird errors where random files are completely missing

[undone monolith]

yeah at the time, Apparently he did not have the URP asset

[gray frigate]

no, that would not cause a compilation error

[undone monolith]

they ended up deleting library folders a couple times, but that couldn't fix the issue either, until they installed another editor

[gray frigate]

a different editor version would wind up pulling in different package versions, which would avoid the issue

[candid lark]

like dude why is this so slow i'm downloading pc and android support if i ever wanna create a mobile game but, this cant be this slow bro

[gray frigate]

you're installing thirteen modules?

[candid lark]

why's there so many android stuff

[near wigeon]

how can we tell if its considered slow ? we know nothing of your internet speed or pc power...

[gray frigate]

ah, i see; a bunch of stuff gets listed

[candid lark]

my internet is actually good but, this download aint fast

[gray frigate]

it is pulling down several gigabytes of data

Android build support requires quite a lot of extra tooling

[near wigeon]

yeah 3 MB/s is garbage plus you dont know how fast its writing as its downloading

[candid lark]

gng i can download a 20gb of a game on steam in like less than 2 minutes

or on google

unity's version installer is slow for some reason

[undone monolith]

just take a speedtest just in case

[left coyote]

I just opened my project and everything is pink?? Anybody know why?

[candid lark]

i'm telling you bro i got the fastest wifi

[gray frigate]

is this a brand-new project you just created from a template?

[left coyote]

no

I have this project for a few months now

[gray frigate]

open your Project Settings and show me the Graphics section

[near wigeon]

don't shit post or post memes. #📖┃code-of-conduct

[gray frigate]

it's a bit weird that you've got a URP asset named "New Universal Render Pipeline Asset" assigned there

[candid lark]

ohhh i had this issue before

[gray frigate]

the default assets that come with the URP/HDRP templates aren't named this

[candid lark]

the issue were the models i think

the pink models right

[gray frigate]

that would not cause the shader to fail to compile

[left coyote]

yes

[candid lark]

i remember fixing it by like downloading the models properly

[gray frigate]

that pink color appears when a shader can't compile at all

[candid lark]

didnt fully fix tho

it was a long time ago

[gray frigate]

Did you create this project with a URP template originally, or did you convert it to URP afterwards?

[left coyote]

I converted it afterwards

[gray frigate]

Okay.

Show me one of the broken materials

i'll want to see its inspector

[gray frigate]

The shader is completely missing

I also see that this material was imported along with the model

[left coyote]

yes

[gray frigate]

so, hey, maybe this is the case after all (:

[left coyote]

why tho, yesterday everything was working fine and I havent changed anything

[candid lark]

there was a guy here that actually helped me all the way through like he even downloaded the same models to fix my problem i forgot his name but i was really thankful to him

a couple of guys

i forgot their names

those pink model problems are annoying as hell tho

[gray frigate]

Select one of the model assets and go to the "Materials" tab in the inspector

lemme see that

e.g.

[gray frigate]

For some reason, the material generated by the importer is completely busted

[left coyote]

maybe Upgrade Project Materials to URP?

would that help?

[gray frigate]

these materials are sub-assets of the model asset; they can't be directly edited

i do suspect that the importer is getting confused and generating a shader that doesn't work with URP

what happens if you just right click the model asset and reimport it?

[left coyote]

still pink

[gray frigate]

what happens if you click "Edit..." here?

[left coyote]

it opens visual studio

[gray frigate]

does it open up a specific shader in VS?

[left coyote]

the lit shader

Universal Render Pipeline/Lit

[gray frigate]

Hm, okay

Create a new material and see if it looks broken

(and look at the console to see if a shader compile error is appearing)

[left coyote]

yeah its pink too

[vivid cedar]

There's no shader selected for either of these

[gray frigate]

it should be defaulting to Lit

[left coyote]

why tho

[gray frigate]

notably, hitting Edit did open the lit shader in VS

[gray frigate]

the dropdown is blank, which makes it look like nothing is selected

[left coyote]

and how do I fix it for my project?

[gray frigate]

Are you seeing any errors in the console?

[left coyote]

no

[gray frigate]

Restart Unity and see if any appear afterwards.

You should see some kind of error message if the Lit shader isn't compiling

note that shader compile errors don't stick around like C# errors do when you clear the console

(and the console will also auto-clear when entering play mode by default)

[left coyote]

this is the only thing that shows

[amber cobalt]

how do i fix this? it seems the rotation of my meshes is wrong, i read somewhere using parents for the meshes and somehow thus correcting this, but how? i used the Wheel script on every mesh and gave it its mesh and collider, the TankControl script is on the object itself. https://pastes.dev/nLv26XFhx6 [got it!}

[gray frigate]

and this is after a restart?

[left coyote]

yes

[gray frigate]

do other URP shaders work, or do they all behave the same?

[left coyote]

how do I check that?

[gray frigate]

switch that material you made to use other URP shaders

open the dropdown at the top of the material editor

[gray frigate]

Now, what happens if you put it back on Lit?

[charred fog]

@candid lark Don't post off-topic, including images. Remind you you are on your last warning already.

[left coyote]

I only have this

[gray frigate]

....huh!

[left coyote]

is that a bad huh

[gray frigate]

my first response to Weird Editor Gremlins™ is to delete the Library folder so that Unity has to reimport all of your assets

this is almost always perfectly safe (i do it regularly whenever I get annoyed by the size of the shader cache, tbh), but I would still advise backing up your project first

[left coyote]

where is the library folder?

[gray frigate]

it's in the root of the project – next to Assets, ProjectSettings, etc.

you'll need to close unity and then delete it from your file browser

you can back up the project by copying everything that isn't the Library folder 😉

[left coyote]

this one?

[gray frigate]

Yep

there are only a few weird situations where you can actually lose data by doing this:

• a broken editor script nukes your assets (the VRC Worlds SDK did this for a while! fun!!!)
• your project was only working because of some wacky corruption in the Library (this is very very unlikely, and you're already in trouble if this is the case anyway)

the SDK would see that no scenes have been imported yet and helpfully create a template scene

but it did this check too early, before scenes imported..

I'm especially curious because the Lit shader clearly exists

oh, two things:

• the reimport will take a while
• unity will open into a blank scene, since it will have forgotten which scene was open

that's a jumpscare (:

[left coyote]

yeah I just noticed it takes long lol

[gray frigate]

It's reading and processing all of your assets (including those from packages)

[left coyote]

I just hope it works

I hate stuff like that

[left coyote]

It worked, thank you very much <3

[cursive abyss]

Hey guys, i am currently working on my Character customizer and i have an problem with the Eyelids of the character. I wanted to make an slider to lower and higher it but the Rotation changes not only X axis and now i have no clue how to make an slider that controlls that
(Pls ping me)

Would be very nice if anyone would help me

[gray frigate]

nice (:

I usually try to understand exactly why an error happened, but this kind of thing falls into "gremlin" territory.

Fortunately, it's also the kind of thing that goes away after reimporting.

[left coyote]

Im still wondering why it happened tho

weird

[gray frigate]

Has Unity crashed recently?

[left coyote]

nope

nothing happened

[undone monolith]

This usually happens because the eyelid bone object is already rotated on multiple axes in its default pose. So when you change only the X rotation, Unity combines it with the existing Y/Z rotations and the eyelid moves weirdly

[cursive abyss]

So what should i do now?
Put it to 0 0 0 in blender

[undone monolith]

Best bet is to store the eyelid’s original rotation and apply an additional rotation relative to that original rotation. this can be done with Quaternion.Euler

[cursive abyss]

So i want to check if i did understand it right. I set it to 0 0 0 in blender and then rotate it in Unity?

[undone monolith]

Yes that’s basically the idea, but there are slightly different approaches depending on how your rig is set up

[cursive abyss]

Can i send and PNG in here from my model + rig?

[undone monolith]

I think for this, you may have to ask in the Blender discord as well

[latent meadow]

thanks unity, really helpful error.

[snow patrol]

does anyone know how I can save my game whilst its in play mode? It wont let me stop it, i click the button it does nothing. And I cant save the scene because i am in play mode 😅

[latent lake]

so i just learned that the tile map tile prefabs (which unity does spawn in the scene as a child of the tile map but they are hidden) do not update when the prefab is changed and you need to switch scenes and switch back for it to update and that has caused me so much frustration and time

[gray frigate]

so your editor is not frozen, but clicking the Play button isn't working?

[snow patrol]

yep, that is correct

[gray frigate]

ctrl+p is the shortcut; perhaps that'll work

[snow patrol]

unfortunately thats not doing anything either, I guess I'll have to restart the editor 😅 thanks anyway

[worldly cave]

do you maybe have errors?

check your console

wait... youre already in play mode and you cant stop it?

[latent meadow]

changes made in play mode are not saved.

[worldly cave]

i dont think thats what they are asking

[latent meadow]

i have a feeling that is their end goal

[worldly cave]

they most likely have an unsaved scene and cant leave play mode to save it

[latent meadow]

you may be right., i am only half here 🙂

[worldly cave]

altough people do need to become more habitual "savers" in general

too many people come here like "help Unity crashed and i lost 4 and a half hours of unsaved work"

idk if its just a my generation thing but i was taught to save as often as possible... never a minute or a singular change without saving

[latent meadow]

it is just natural for me too. ~50 years old. could be a generational thing

[latent lake]

i think u gotta go through every gameobject and creating a struct for all the data u want to save and make sure theyre all json serializable, then foreach gameobjetc, save its data to this struct qand then write it to json, then when u enter playmode again u gotta deserialize it and load that data and sppawn in those gameobject again and apply the data to them, ofc there r ways to optimize this im sure i only ever did saving board positions

[worldly cave]

what

[snow patrol]

[latent meadow]

they are kind of describing how to save play mode changes

[latent lake]

uh am i way too wrong here

[snow patrol]

I did, i recall seeing something about an unreffed script

[worldly cave]

so wait you were stuck in playmode right?

and you couldnt save your scene?

[latent meadow]

i may have been wrong.. i do not think that is their goal

[silent mica]

I think they are just trying to recover their unsaved scene changes after some sort of major issue happening in play mode 😄

[snow patrol]

yea i was stuck in play mode and could not exit it. I could not save either because i was stuck in play mode

[latent lake]

ahhh i see

[snow patrol]

thank you anyway obada 🙂

[latent lake]

uf been there

no worries

you usually save scripts to see the changes, and scripts are usually where its at so usually nothing major is lost, unless you spent a lot of time building a level, but u gotta then remember to save when making major scene changes

[worldly cave]

you should always be saving scene changes

major or minor

theres no downside to saving

[snow patrol]

is there some sort of autosave option?

i have saving in my musscle memory in code, but in unity i do not 🤣

[balmy kettle]

for your scene? no, not without writing editor code to do it or downloading an asset that has editor code that does it

[snow patrol]

i see, okay thank you 🙂

[rare lance]

I have 3 overlapping colliders that I am trying to get working correctly with onMouseDown. I keep seeming the grab the furthest one back, which is not what's intended.
(In the image, ideally, red should be on top, then yellow, then blue in the background)

is there a way to do this or should I swap to a raycast?

[dusky forum]

You could filter your ray cast by a specific layer

[strong lily]

boy i love learning.
25 years+ into web and data + more.

moving into game dev now with unity, ima just write my animations in a enum, and not use the animator 😮

[rare lance]

Yeah, I'm not doing raycast right now, I'm just using standard onMouseDown, but its throwing some inconsistent results

[dusky forum]

You could assign the others to be ignored

This function is not called on objects that belong to Ignore Raycast layer
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[strong lily]

btw.. doing all my animations states via c#, will i be in trouble down the line if i dont do it right?
lets say... 2+ years i have 100+ animations... low poly stuff.

place all my animations in the animator window, without the connectors.

what all think... im not scared of coding if all wondering xD

i love when my projects can reach 5k to 10k lines of code on a file.. 😮

[worldly cave]

are you using animancer?

[strong lily]

uhh prob not.

[worldly cave]

look it up ;)

[strong lily]

alrighttttt lol.. brb

waittt.. it add it to the inpector for debugging too. hmmmm

ahh right, the layers of different parts that can play at same time..
yeah ima go with not using node visuals hahah.

[worldly cave]

do note the one major downside to animancer is that every new major version is a new purchase

but ive been using version 7 for a while now with no issues so updating is not always nescessary either

[snow patrol]

I am making an rts game using lockstep. First time im looking into this method, but it looks to me like hiding specific data from other clients (that are using hacked clients/mods) is not really possible, since each client has to have all of the data to know what is where and in what position?

For example, in an ideal world any resources/buildings/units outside of the fog of war would never be sent to the client, but if I am using lockstep, they'd need to be, right?

[strong lily]

ahh that is a good note.. boy.. this looks good though, not gonna lie, for the pro v8 that im watching.

def helps for sure if im going this route, damn... 90$ right now ;o

[exotic vigil]

As a solo developer my biggest problem with making a game is knowing how to make a scene that technically works be visually compelling.

[abstract umbra]

this might help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJps8QxOh4s

[exotic vigil]

I see that mentions using references. I usually try that. I think in the future I might do it more though.

[strong lily]

yeah ill put Animancer pro on my list for sure, ima play around with just coding all for now on simple things and see how it goes.

thanks for the tip, this is prob what i will prob want to have anyways. haha.

[gray frigate]

I'm a big fan of Animancer

[strong lily]

yeah im probably gong to be using it able already doing research, and already not liking the unity animator. :S .. hah

grid snapping for the node editor because im used to blender and unitys ruler snapping is BS
wish i could resize the nodes to full grid cell sizes without the previews breaking in various ways

hllp me

i need to use the ai

for unity

how

[safe garden]

just wondering if anyone else has this, sometimes I will make changes in scene view while the game is running. When I end gameplay it will revert the changes I made back to the previous, how do you actually have changes you make during play committed?

[latent meadow]

without 3rd party assets to do so, you don't. well, i suppose you can write your own method, but that is well beyond a discord Q&A

[humble valve]

or you could just copy everything.... and paste it after playing and compare 👁️ 👄 👁️

[manic ermine]

Hi everyone

Hi, im new here and I was wondering if anyone knows a good car controller like video/playlist on YouTube thats easy to follow for beginners that don't know much about unity

[latent meadow]

there are free car controller assets on the Unity Asset Store, so you know

this is not a showcase place, or whatever that is supposed to be. read the #📖┃code-of-conduct

[brittle helm]

I know but im wanting to actually code it though as I am wanting to learn c# while making this game since unreal engine has failed me so im giving unity a try again

[latent meadow]

IDK if anyone who happens to have done the same thing has kept a list, but generally, a quick google will help

[brittle helm]

Okay thanks

[strong lily]

i copied and pasted this full message into google, and found video's
also found one that looks like their also teaching drifting + drifting marks lol.

[storm patio]

you shouldn't have to, no. this seems like a broken install. perhaps check this checklist, but otherwise just try again

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[storm patio]

oh they left, wonderful.

[brittle helm]

Damn

[analog crane]

Question, what happens to the <GameName>_Data dir for MacOS builds?

[strong lily]

by looking this up.

location within the app bundle - its located inside the .app package bundle, is what im reading off the web. lol

yourprojectapp.app/contents/ ??

[storm patio]

.app "files" are actually folders in mac, yeah

[strong lily]

im not a mac user 😛

oh a .app = folder then /datastuffhere?

lol i typed .add
hmm coding xd

[storm patio]

yeah

i can't answer what zed asked about though, i haven't built for mac before

[strong lily]

gotcha

[fast shell]

please help me with this problem

[brittle helm]

Lower the fov i think

Im not that good with unity tho, I only know ow how to make basic scenes and partially use the editor so I could be wrong

[fast shell]

where can i change fov

[subtle owl]

Just select any close to you object on scene and double click it in inspector.

[fast shell]

thanks

[humble kayak]

Uhh, thats not fov, that is camera clipping. You can turn it off somewhere in the top of the scene window.

At least I dont think so

[latent meadow]

click on any thing in your scene. move mouse over Scene view. press F

it will 'reset' the clipping

the double clicking mentioned above probably does the same

[brittle helm]

Quick question again, is it hard to fit a unity hdrp project on EXACTLY 4.7gb or less

[latent meadow]

it depends on the size of assets included. you can google to find the empty built project size

[candid lark]

dude i thought unity used c++ too man i keep seeing c# videos mainly

i'm still learning c++ but like

[latent meadow]

unity is c# as far as the level you would be using it. the core, which you do not have access to, is c++

[candid lark]

i don't know c# at all

[latent meadow]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[candid lark]

i feel like if i try to learn that, i'll forget how to use c++

since i'm not even that good at c++

[latent meadow]

then why are you here?..

[candid lark]

what is that question

[latent meadow]

what is your point?

[strong lily]

.. yeah i dont get it either lol

C# for unity, and ur learning c++?

[candid lark]

Son all i'm saying is, is learning c# will be useful for me

Like i know it's easier than c++

[latent meadow]

child, figure out when you are speaking to your elders.

[candid lark]

i was learning c++ before unity

[strong lily]

well since ur in a unity community server for discord, yes C# will help.

[latent meadow]

the basics on the learning site should get you caught up pretty quick, if you can comprehend a bit of c++ already

[candid lark]

Is c# really close to c++ or?

[latent meadow]

they are close. c# is easier.

[abstract umbra]

C# is like a trillion times easier than C++, if youd really know C++, learning C# wouldnt cause any trouble for you

[near venture]

i finally got enough courage and downloaded unity

[vagrant bramble]

Shakespeare vs hood english

[slow dirge]

If you plan to use unity(or some other engine/framework that uses C#) - yes. Otherwise, no.
If you're asking whether C# is gonna improve your C++ understanding, then very unlikely. It's better to just focus on C++ in that case.

[lean ridge]

Based on my testing it seems like NDK SDK and JDK modules are just folders of files? Like they don’t need “installed” they just need to exist in the expected path?

Something broke between hub 3.10 to 3.18 and can’t use my old method to script mass install for a lab. But having some luck with manual multi-GB editor install and robocopying the module folders over to the expected path that I harvested from a demo install. Hub seems happy with that. Might be my only manner to pragmatically continue with managing Unity for edu lab install.

[candid lark]

Not as advertisement but, that's why i was thinking of switching to Unreal Engine because of C++, i want to improve that then, later on sure i can start learning c#

[worldly cave]

Unreal Engine also has a completely different workflow compared to Unity

regardless of the language used

[candid lark]

Yeah

[worldly cave]

Also Unreal relies a lot on blueprints, which is a visual scripting language

[latent meadow]

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1202155978372423690

[candid lark]

Wait is unreal that hard or something

for beginners

i'm not thinking of making anything big anyways

[worldly cave]

In my opinion its harder than Unity for beginners to pick up

but it also depends

[slow dirge]

Sounds kinda weird to me. Like you didn't decide what you want to do. What your goal is. If you're gonna go with unreal, there's no point in planning to switch to unity later on.

[worldly cave]

Good point, if youre going to be choosing between the 2 engines, you should choose based on what your planned project would need

[rare scarab]

Does any know How long compiling C# scripts take? I think it's stuck

[worldly cave]

should be relatively quick but it depends

how long has it been stuck for

[candid lark]

No, i said maybe the main would still be unreal engine if i manage to learn to use that, i feel like c++ is more important and where i study we learn c++ but it's slow i wanna speed it up myself

[worldly cave]

C++ is not nescessarily more important than C#

[rare scarab]

Was stuck for 20 mins earlier. Then I tried again and waited a bit then restarted pc

[worldly cave]

this happens when what you are making changes to a script?

and saving?

are you seeing any errors in the Unity console and your ide

[slow dirge]

Well, then you probably should be in some C++ or unreal discord, not unity. Unity is not gonna speed up your C++ learning in any way.

[rare scarab]

When I start a new project it gets stuck on the Compiling

[worldly cave]

ok this is now a completely different problem to what you initially mentioned

What does it say when its stuck?

To exclude it you can turn it off, remove the package to be sure, I think it was separate then.

[rare scarab]

I tried launching another version and it works. Idk why the 2021.3.16f1 doesn't work

[charred fog]

Make sure it's the latest minor version for it as well

You are way behind, 2021.3.45f2 is the latest

[rare scarab]

That should work still. Cus I'm trying to use the Marrow SDK

[worldly cave]

does the sdk really need the exact minor version?

[charred fog]

Then you should seek support from their community.

Apparently they list it as requirement

[rare scarab]

Probably not

[rare scarab]

I felt like people here would know more about compiling getting stuck.

[charred fog]

If you are running into an old bug, normal fix would be to update to the latest version. When dealing with SDKs it could be very well the fault of the SDK. So at this point you should ask them.

Did you check if you have any problem compiling when you create just a clean Unity project in that version?

[rare scarab]

There gonna update it soon probably.

[charred fog]

If you don't then SDK is the problem

[final flame]

aand people are already poking fun at the unity ai thing

[near venture]

i knew at least someone would make fun of it

[ivory flax]

Did anyone find an addon or simple method to extract complex materials from blender to unity? Or at least export materials without needing to bake manually

[latent meadow]

they are different shader languages, as you probably figured out. there was a github project a while back that tried, but i do not think it took off. sadly, i cannot recall the name. asking google what you asked here would let you know if it exists. you do not need to 'bake' and flatten it. you would simply need to remake the material in Unity

[strong lily]

weird, while in idle state. it should be playing the first one, but my dude is standing weird lol.

[latent meadow]

you should ask the animation room

[strong lily]

ahh when i get more stuck lol i will, ima try to figure it out, check the guide more.

i dragged it into unity like the person who gave it to me told me to but i have no idea how to its scripts work

[latent meadow]

why are you attempting to do that? Modding, Ripping, Etc, are off topic here

[noble locust]

oh okay

[fleet jay]

is your project big to take all this time?😅

[vale pivot]

yea lol around 150GB

• this is a clean build in il2cpp btw

i think theyre kidding me 💀 yeah thats it imma go jump

6 hours for ts

[worldly cave]

why would you even wait more than 30 minutes

let alone 6 hours

[vale pivot]

its a big project

and clean build

[balmy kettle]

it can take a long time for shaders to compile. i had a clean build that took over 30 hours for shaders to compile because there was no stripping (needed to stop the stripping for some debugging)

[vale pivot]

oh well 😔 damn

[balmy kettle]

on the bright side, it shouldn't need to recopile those shaders it has already compiled so starting the build again should catch up to that same point rather quickly, unless you do another clean build

[vale pivot]

yeah makes sense

Found a bug in unity from 6.2 to 6.3 and 6.4

what do i do with this bug ?

[worldly cave]

report it?

[balmy kettle]

!bug

[vagrant root]

Reporting bugs

🪲 To make bug reporting as quickly as possible, we made a bug reporting application for you. When running Unity choose Help->Report a Bug in the menu, or you can access it directly through the executable in the directory where Unity is installed. It will also launch automatically if you experience a crash.

📝 If your bug report is to do with Documentation, either an error, typo, or omission, you can report it by scrolling to the bottom of the page where you found the issue and click ‘Report a problem on this page’!

💡If your report is to do with a new feature idea, you can check the Unity Product Roadmaps page to see if your idea has already been planned.

For more complete instructions on how to report bugs, access: https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

will do that upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3 makes ui document rebuild every frame for no reason if you select the uidocument in the hirachy tree is annoying and i am thinking of building guards against that to the library at least until unity fix it back to 6.2 stable version

given its only when you actually select the UI Document but it can be annoying

why would you want that lol

[gray frigate]

The oldest you're going to get is something like Unity 5

[mystic oriole]

Everyone is shoving AI into everything right now.

It's like 5 years ago when everyone decided that their app MUST have blockchain integration

AI is being hyped so bad right now that in some companies, they'll fire you if you aren't aggressively using AI to generate your code.

[gray frigate]

it's Agentic™

https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1352599815770341479

[gray dirge]

Do you actually mean 1.0 from 2005? In case you didn't know, the naming jumped from 2022 directly to unity 6. Unity 5 was released on 2015 after which they used the year as version number until now. You can browse the download archive (https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive) which has more versions available than the Unity Hub. No Unity 1.0 there either I'm afraid

[thorny plover]

I meant 1.0 from 2005. I want to see how well it runs on my pc, since unity 6 editor keeps on lagging when I run it

[mystic oriole]

that doesn't sound like a reasonable way to test something lol

[near wigeon]

it was originally a mac app. do you even have a mac with old OSX

[gray frigate]

perhaps you can explain your actual problem

[thorny plover]

I basically want to see if my computer will be able to run 1.0 at the best performance, see how much I can push it limits as well

[mystic oriole]

this is a really horrible idea for a multitude of reasons, and you're not going to be able to find that version anyways

[thorny plover]

Dang

[mystic oriole]

why not just run a modern barebones 3d game engine at that point?

thats basically what you'd be doing with the 2005 version anyways

[gray dirge]

Like what is the point with it even? It is not like game engines have become magnitudes slower over the years, if anything there are a lot more optimization stuff added over the years. More expensive graphics features too but you don't have to use those. It would have also only supported some age old graphics libraries which would not run very well if at all on your PC unless it is from that same era

[storm patio]

older version does not mean better perf

[mystic oriole]

@thorny ploverIf your editor is lagging, turn off g-sync (or amd equivalent) and/or change dx12 to dx11

[gray frigate]

if only this were the case

you could switch to a hypothetical version of Unity that was released in 1693

and thus achieve ultimate performance

[glass cipher]

How can I make a navigation bar like this?

[tall hearth]

i wouldn't really even call this a navigation bar (though it could be cause it switched menus) it's just buttons with some visuals added on

[plain dagger]

ive called things like this nav bars myself but its easy with toggle buttons or buttons with enable/disabled states

[glass cipher]

How should I build this in Unity? Should I first create the background color, then add each button separately? As you can see, each button has some spacing between them, and the selected middle button is bigger and raised. How should I structure this properly in Unity?

[tall hearth]

i think this is just a preference thing for how you like doing it, but then again im not a UI/UX designer so no idea

[glass cipher]

ok

[glass cipher]

you?

[plain dagger]

me?

[tall hearth]

though im sure this is split into 3 different stages, the trim & the dark purple background, the buttons themself, and the icons on the buttons (would be child objects of each button). not really sure what's confusing about this though

[glass cipher]

yes

[plain dagger]

was a joke but you should first to learn some basics of how to build UI and control layout in unity
https://learn.unity.com/pathway/creative-core/unit/creative-core-ui/tutorial/get-started-with-user-interfaces

[glass cipher]

But how should I make the border so that when I click on the Shop button, it changes like the Home screen tab?

like here i am in home

shop

[plain dagger]

Someone makes these graphics for you

and you change how the button looks (and its width) depending on its selected state

When i worked on such things our artists made the button bg graphics and icons. You can also make em, find some for free or buy

[tall hearth]

could also do the lazy route of having the whole nav bar be a "different" nav bar for each focused menu

[plain dagger]

That would probably be even worse for a beginner to manage

[tall hearth]

just saying should've clarified this as the problem from the start, asking how to make a nav bar and how to make a dynamic nav bar are two different questions

[glass cipher]

yes what i dont understand is the dynamic boarder

[stuck flower]

It's probably just part of the art asset

[tall hearth]

ima be honest i dont think the boarder is dynamic it looks like the bump is part of the button and not the boarder

[stuck flower]

Pretty sure it's just drawn like that

I don't think there's anything fancy about it

[tall hearth]

could be

[glass cipher]

so how can i make it?

[stuck flower]

Paint, Photoshop, clip studio, whatever your fancy

[plain dagger]

It can be two sets of sprites cleverly divided to swap cleanly

[tall hearth]

could do something simple like this where each border and set of buttons is toggled on and off based off what menu is selected

[tall hearth]

see this is what i meant when saying the border bump looks like it's part of the button image

[potent geyser]

Nah, that frame is one asset and they have 5 versions of them.

The buttons themselves are individual sprites that swap between the selected and unselected ones.

[plain dagger]

Nah i think you can do it as i said, ive implemented a few nav bars like this

what do i know 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne raptor]

Hi, so I am completely new to unity, and downloaded and imported some assets into the unity editor. I was following along a video showing me how to do things, and basically some of the things shown are completely different from what is shown in the video, on top of that, the assets I'm trying to use says its missing scripts. How do I go about trouble shooting these things?

[tall hearth]

well the thing is there are many ways of doing it ~_~

[plain dagger]

there are but usually you want whats easiest for the dev and artist to do

[potent geyser]

Start by listing out the first main error?

[glass cipher]

thanks

[tall hearth]

this actually bothers me now the Shop button has a space between it and the border but the start button doesn't

[plain dagger]

perhaps the parts were placed poorly but they are probably separate pieces to build each button

[glass cipher]

you right

[nocturne raptor]

Okay, so when I go under the same lists as the video shows, the lists are completely different. I followed along with it, and unsure why its different.

[potent geyser]

What's the error though?

I also see that you're using the third person controller vs the other is using the first person controller

[nocturne raptor]

It shows that scripts are missing from it for some reason

Yeah, first person controller is missing as well

[potent geyser]

Also, depending on how old the video is, these assets had changed from the original start assets to the now new starter assets (not that new)

[abstract ibex]

is OnMouseDown() not recommended ? Chatgpt says that for some reason

[slow dirge]

Why not ask it for explanation? 🤷‍♂️

[abstract ibex]

i dont believe it

[slow dirge]

Then don't ask it in the first place..?

[abstract ibex]

it just recommended that to me that way

the info might be outdated

[slow dirge]

OnMouseDown is fine if it works for your case. The api is very old and it's not entirely clear how it works, so it might be difficult to reason about compared to more direct methods, like raycasting manually.

[abstract ibex]

thanks!

[slow dirge]

Again, if you don't trust the Ai, don't talk to it at all. If you do trust it enough to ask a question, at least get an explanation out of it too.

Then you can use your own brain to reason about the explanation or ask other people about it.

[abstract ibex]

got it, thanks for the advice

[potent geyser]

I'm curious to know what the reason was though

[abstract ibex]

im simply detecting clicks, hovers and such on world game objects

its a new project so might as well find the cleanest way

instead of the usual

how do u guys detect these ?

[potent geyser]

Oh, I meant the reason you were given not to use it.

But for handling those, just a raycast from the camera.

[gusty fox]

How to fix normal map in Shader graph?

[slow dirge]

Is that an unlit shader graph perhaps?

[bitter horizon]

how do i make unity run faster

it takes ages to load and run

[gusty fox]

Yes

[slow dirge]

Well, then it doesn't have a normal output. There's no point in it, as there's no lighting logic running behind the scenes. As opposed to lit graph.

[gusty fox]

Then which shader I want to use

[kindred perch]

So, all i'm trying to do is generate my own grass asset, set up a Wind Vertex Shader, and move on to the next part of my demo design. But I can't get this grass to load. Unity keeps on crashing. I even desimated it's poly count to 12k from 320k and even placing 1.9 size brush it causes my unity to have to load and slow down. I am growing far more frustrated, I want to use my grass not someoen elses asset.

[slow dirge]

Lit probably..? Unless you want to implement your own lighting model. 🤷‍♂️

[slow dirge]

Use the profiler for investigating performance issues.
Read logs for investigating crashes.

[slow dirge]

You'll need to be a big more specific than that.

[bitter horizon]

whenever i save a script and come back to unity, it loads stuff and takes some time

i watched some people do this thing their unity didnt took as long

[slow dirge]

Yes, it needs to recompile the code and reload the program state. You can disable automatic asset refresh to avoid it from happening when you don't want, and instead trigger the refresh manually

[slow dirge]

It can take less or more time depending on your project scale and hardware capabilities

[kindred perch]

it would help if i made sure my model was oriented correctly, It looks a lot better now but performance is still low, thanks I'll look at the profiler

[slow dirge]

You can check the domain reload/compile report in the logs to see what's taking most of the time.

[bitter horizon]

my pc is high end it wouldnt take that long

[slow dirge]

Pff... You're underestimating compilation/building processes

Your high end pc is nothing when it comes to that. 😬

[bitter horizon]

my bad

so the loading is inevitable?

[slow dirge]

Yes. If you want your changes to be applied, it has to recompile and do domain reload. Though, there might be ways to make it faster.

I don't even know how long it takes for you, how big your project is, and many other possibly relevant factors. So it's impossible to say anything for sure.

[bitter horizon]

alright

thanks

[heady gorge]

its a bad feeling to have an idea but have 0 clue how to really make it work in reality

[slow dirge]

Probably. Unless you have tons of money to throw at people to do the thinking for you.

[kindred perch]

yay, the game visual is nice, but my scene is slow to respond. But it is fully loaded though. and it is my grass.

Now i'll work on that vertex shader to add wind, while i also deal with the scene display issue. Game display 100% fine, scene display turtly.

[heady gorge]

ive been trying to figure out how dbd does their skill checks and i just cant get it to click

imagine my surprise when you cant do shapes on UI

[slow dirge]

Not sure what dbd is.

[slow dirge]

Why not? There are many ways to have custom shaped ui.

[heady gorge]

i couldnt think of a way to describe it so i found this random website that specifically showcases the feature im trying to figure out

its like a spinny thing

and you have to have your spinny thing hit the "good" zone at the right time, too early/late and its a fail

[glass wyvern]

hi whats up

[heady gorge]

Hello

[heady gorge]

if anyone has any ideas on how to recreate this, would be greatly appreciated

ive been thinking sliders, changing a pivot on an image and have it rotate like a clock, while having it check for overlap and input

[tall hearth]

i have an idea for how it'd work but i suck at explainning things ~_~

[heady gorge]

i was thinking of having a slider loop around from 0-100 on a bool and then having it check if the handle touches the good spot

[slow dirge]

Spinning/rotating "clock hands" basically. Might want to separate the logic from the visuals though. I'm not sure which one you're having trouble with.

[heady gorge]

which is why i was trying to find shapes on the UI and BAM closest ive got is 2D sprites

[slow dirge]

Yes, you'd use custom sprites for something like that.

[noble oar]

Hi guys if I wanted to make multiplayer unity game on steam or something how much would cost monthly to host ?

[tall hearth]

if you want it circular i think 360 would be better, but otherwise it's a simple thing to implement, you can have a value that increments off deltatime and have it modulo to the 360 and when the button is pressed to "stop" it it'd check it's current value and see if it's within the range that the white is in

[heady gorge]

i was thinking about it having a range thats acceptable. that also works, i'd just have to keep in mind that the spinning thing and the image are two separate parts, but the image itself would be rotating randomly

[tall hearth]

this depends on many factors

[noble oar]

oh

[heady gorge]

ive been plotting for 3ish days now

its now 12:01 am
this makes the 3rd

[tall hearth]

i mean the only thing that'd be rotation randomly is the hand no? even then i wouldn't consider it "randomly"

[heady gorge]

i mean the hand would usually rotate the same direction every time

i may have to experiment for quite some more time

[glass wyvern]

sorry for ignoring i was occupied

uhm i see ur problem

i think using custom sprites is the better idea

[heady gorge]

i was just saying hello cuz you said hello

[glass wyvern]

what a nice guy

or girl

i dunno

[heady gorge]

🫡

[glass wyvern]

i think i know how to do it, you can use 3 sprites, one with the red line around were is supposed to be the border of the circle, other of the circle with one of the borders with the trigger drawed, and a third one that is the text in the center, after you can use a animated trigger that follows the movement of the red line that is continuous,and also another trigger that place itself in the place were is supossed to be the trigger depending on the sprite and rotation of that sprite(im talking about the circle sprite)

i also suck a bit explaning things but i think you can get what im trying to say

btw i need help with something but is far from a trouble with thecnical stuff is more about decisions

[tall hearth]

[robust vortex]

13 lines vs 3 lines really isn't a metric of a good programmer. Sometimes people compress code just for the sake of having fewer lines, and it actually becomes harder to read, debug, or expand later.

Hi

I had question related to Unity

Why Unity packages are installed separately per project?

[latent meadow]

because that is the way they designed it. Why would i want my 5GB Medieval Castle package in my 2d game project? it makes absolutely no sense that packages would be shared across all projects.

if you make a lot of projects and want to include packages from the start, look into Templates

[hot kestrel]

But unreal does the opposite, everything is in the engine by default nothing gets shipped to project until you turn it something

It seems inconvenient

[potent geyser]

And I'm sure there are people complaining that that's the wrong way of doing it too.

Extreme bloating

How often are you making the same kind of project that you need to install all these packages constantly to the point it's inconvenient?

And if so, as mentioned above, Unity allows you to make templates so you don't have to.

[dusk crystal]

which agent do you use to use unity skills for local llm

[rough field]

and the engine ends up being 100GB, but unreal still has plugins that can be installed on a per project basis

[hot kestrel]

Come on guys you don't need to download debug module of unreal

Whatever. Personal preferences

Ah sorry, I missed that 😅 thanks! I’ll ask there instead

[wispy reef]

hey i am getting Unable to refresh license. Please try again.
after hub upgrade

tried forum solution but didn't work

[golden lark]

I accidentally dragged an object into a folder as a prefab. I deleted it from the folder again, but now the objects shows up in red, as though it needs a prefab source.
Not that it changes anything; it still works - but are there any way to make it appear as a normal object again?
https://puu.sh/KMSR6/6326a96917.png

[potent geyser]

If you select the object, in the inspector for it you should be able to target a source prefab at the top.

[golden lark]

It says Missing, since I deleted it from the folder

I don't want it as a prefab, it was just an accidental drag 😄

[potent geyser]

Oh, then in that case right click the object itself and "unpack completely".

[golden lark]

That doesn't seem to appear as an option

[golden lark]

Ah! Gotcha. Thank you 😄

[wispy reef]

any other solution? tried request licensee but its failed cant even download it

[latent meadow]

"tried forum solution" dos not mean anything unless you link to the specific post with what you tried.

[wispy reef]

checked firewall and antivirus , log out sign in , license request

[latent meadow]

if you are sure it is not firewall or AV, your best path is to contact Unity Support directly

i assume this all used to work and is a new problem

[wispy reef]

The problem was resolved automatically after restarting the device.

@worldly cave https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/uidocument-generatevisualcontent-callback-is-not-assigned-when-uidocument-is-shown-in-the-inspector

Posted it yesterday, today turned to in progress for version 6.6

Given that's like 6 months from now but still nice

I added a workaround for it in my library for now until they fix it

Hmm wait what, they switched it

[dusk lichen]

how do you change the padding on a text element inside a button in UI toolkit?

UI toolkit is horrible i am never using this again after im done with this UI

uGUI is 10x better

[hard parcel]

ah boy

And yet you are asking how do you change the padding

[dusk lichen]

yeah, would have took 2seconds in ugui

i dont think its possible in ui toolkit unless i create a label on my button

[hard parcel]

@dusk lichen You have a reason why uitoolkit is bad ?

[dusk lichen]

which is why im asking

[hard parcel]

you can do anything with ui toolkit

[dusk lichen]

lol, no you cant

its like 90% feature rich

[charred fog]

#🧰┃ui-toolkit checkout the pinned resources there as well.

[dusk lichen]

tyvm

[hard parcel]

its closer to 99% feature rich.

but still doesnt answer the question why you dont like it ?

[dusk lichen]

bro am i here to have a debate with you why i dont like ui toolkit or are you going to answer the question

80% of you have a god complex and just wanna debatre

get a life lmao

some people like to use other things, theres nothing wrong with it. its more catered towards a web dev, which i am not

i prefer ugui

who cares

idk why it bothers u so much

[hard parcel]

I am not trying to have a debate i am genuinely curious why you dont like it, @dusk lichen

as for "padding on a text element"

you'd add it to its parent i think

[dusk lichen]

adding any sort of padding just moves the button elements and not the text

[hard parcel]

<Box><Text ><Box>

add the padding to the box

[dusk lichen]

lemme see

[hard parcel]

Its almsot exactly like web / html/css

@Bonk, i am developing a library that makes uitoolkit just like react, so what sound like a debate was just me trying to figure out if should throw more time at it. is all

[gray frigate]

does changing the padding of the button not do what you want?

[dusk lichen]

nope, it drops the entire button further below

[gray frigate]

that's what the margin does

e.g. this is 64px of margin and 64px of padding

[hard parcel]

Are you adding Margin by any chance rather the Padding ?

[dusk lichen]

maybe i need to restart my ui builder cuz it does this all the time

[gray frigate]

does the button have any other elements as children?

[dusk lichen]

nope, no children of this button

this is a child of the taskbar though

let me restart ui builder, numerous times though ive clicked settings and its done some other random stuff that i didnt want it to do

maybe i just need to reinstall unity

[hard parcel]

hmm sounds excessive

[dusk lichen]

probably why i hate toolkit so much 😭

[hard parcel]

hmm weird, for me other then how the databinding works, is absolutely awesome, and the databinding is also solveable but everyone and they choices.

i wonder if they would ever depracate the older system

[dusk lichen]

i did need a restart btw

its working as intended now

ty

[hard parcel]

Weird 🙂

[dusk lichen]

i think its my pc honestly, ive needed to change my cooler for like 5 months now and ive just been winging it, sometimes it overheats and turns off

maybe i corrupted something somehwere

Anyone knows why my project is empty in unity after moving it to a different drive?

if you see your assets in the assets folder then you just need to open the scene you were working on

[arctic jay]

ty

[storm patio]

you haven't opened a scene, most likely (as boxfriend mentioned above)

[crisp rivet]

Yeah, i moved the entire folder (except library and temp) and added the folder inside unity hub

[storm patio]

library is where volatile/cache stuff lives, including what scene was opened last
so you won't have the scene open by default

[crisp rivet]

Do i need the library folder?
Followed this guide, it which these 2 folder should not be copied / moved
https://discussions.unity.com/t/moving-the-project/45147

[latent meadow]

as i think this is a (lack of) terminology issue, let me say it this way. Open the Level you were working on

[worldly cave]

you dont need the library folder

it will rebuild*** itself

[crisp rivet]

Looks like everything is working inside unity, except the scene

[balmy kettle]

again, you literally just need to open the scene

[worldly cave]

People who thought their project is broken but didnt open a scene counter: 17

[latent meadow]

well, it Might be an addressables thing..

[crisp rivet]

That was it

[worldly cave]

its almost always just that lol

[balmy kettle]

yeah like 9 times out of 10 when someone moves their project or shares it with someone else and "everything is missing" it's the scene just not being open

[brisk anvil]

Swapped scenes and accidently clicked "don't save" because I forgot to save. is there any auto backup??

lol not only I failed myself but also the warning window prompt 🤦🏻‍♂️

UNITY BACKS UP

I found a backup file in{Project Folder}/Temp/__Backupscenes LETS GO

I definitely need a save reminder though 😂

[potent geyser]

The popup that asks you to save unsaved changes before changing scenes is the reminder.

[gray dirge]

nice! I would recommend making a habit of clicking Ctrl + S every now and then. I usually do that every time before I press play for example (as infinite loop for instance could crash the editor)

[potent geyser]

But you need to ride that CTRL+S out of habit for sure.

[strong lily]

ctrl + s is my best friend.. i feel like my fingers always on it and ready. xd

[brisk anvil]

yea, I misclicked the don't save button, totally on me

usually I save every 2 minutes without even thinking, but after some time you forget you do it like you forget you are breathing 🙂
I wanna make a reminder like the Steam toast that would come up every few minutes reminding me to save. I've been working on this scene like 5 hours today, and my last save was around an hour ago unfortunetly. even though I already save as a habbit

[brisk anvil]

I've already made it a habit, super weird I forgot!
cheers to Unity for saving my ass here :)

[potent geyser]

You could probably whip up a quick editor script that reminds you every 5 minutes to save if one hasn't been detected.

[brisk anvil]

yea

[strong lily]

i been having fun lately making weird Editor tools just to have fun in my demo world lol. its alot fun what we can do, yet so much more to learn as well.

[potent geyser]

If you can make something quick, the payoff in time is definitely there.

I created a basic level editor/track editor for our game that has spend up making levels by like 1000% lol

[strong lily]

yeah, it can really help speed things up if ur a solo dev, and u take some time creating ur editor scripts for tasks etc.

really great tool 100%

[gray dirge]

Making custom editor stuff is just fun. Most of the time it's something that I spend much more time working on than I would just doing things by hand but that's what programming is all about is it not?

Of course they can save a lot of time too on bigger projects no doubt

[strong lily]

yeah like if i built a system, then ill create a editor script around it.... "if needed" xd

[brisk anvil]

perfect

and I shall never worry about saving again

[strong lily]

LOL ❤️

[brisk anvil]

jk, the habit is super important in any case

[strong lily]

add in, remind me in 10 / 20 / 30 mins. xd

[balmy kettle]

could probably also just make that script save the scene instead of just reminding you to save the scene

[strong lily]

yeah that too aha

[fossil bolt]

hi

[latent meadow]

howdy. #🌱┃start-here

[brisk anvil]

Initially I started with that but I find myself discarding changes in git very often,

I could add an auto save mode to it though

Might as well put it on the asset store for free, this is super useful and might save a bunch of time

Lmao there are already a bunch

[latent meadow]

i dislike git, and most source control. i have to get setup again, but i was using a custom Editor script that literally saved the 'before' version of any file i changed. it just did this incrementally. i was using a local 'compare' for scripts if needed.

does not make sense for most people or workflows, but for how i do things, it was great

[brisk anvil]

If it fits your needs, It sounds great

Eventually what you did is some kind of a source control

I also did something similar long time ago,

I already knew git well but it was still oddly painful with unity

I eventually took the step and now I can say it's incredible,
It works super well for me and saves me really a lot of time

[brisk anvil]

I ended up putting a main repository for a game,
And for each repo I have an inner assetstore git repo, (purchased assets, managed by Asset Inventory to keep it light and optimized)
GameSystems git repo (all my code, shared between projects, such as player, npc/enemy ai code, etc, git ignore just for code files)

And on the main repo, everything that is specific to that game, like scenes, code and prefabs + resources, which is managed by sceneblocks that I strongly strongly recommend. You can't look back from it

^That's my setup for git

[latent meadow]

cool deal! i may require something like that in the future, but as a solo dev, i have found most source control to be overkill, if not detrimental

[latent meadow]

if you have a question about the statement, feel free to ask, Nomnom 🙂

[gray frigate]

source control is really easy when you're working solo :p

you get all of the benefits without having to deal with Alice and Bob both making 50,000 incompatible edits simultaneously

[hexed path]

Does anyone have any experience running Unity and/or Blender over Parsec on a local network?

I'm traveling and my setup is very minimal - just a Macbook Air. I'm thinking about adding a mini-ITX workstation to the rig, but might want to run it headless.

[latent meadow]

no, and i do not know how mac works, but back when i was on windows, i would have just remote controlled the computer. technically you could work on an android tablet since it was basically just a virtual screen

[hexed path]

Remote Desktop?

[latent meadow]

basically

[hexed path]

was that fast enough?

[latent meadow]

on a LAN, yes

the thing to keep in mind, is it is just a compressed video stream with uploaded controls, which is minimal bandwidth. you can probably watch 4k over the internet.. (very basically, for example)

[hexed path]

I think Parsec might be limited to 1080 - although I don't know. I guess that's another consideration because the laptop has essentially a 5k screen.

but I take your point about streaming speed

[plain dagger]

I use parsec to connect to my work pc all the time is great

[vestal torrent]

Where did the probuilder window go in U6?

[strong lily]

[vestal torrent]

I've been looking for a way to add a toolbar but I don't see it

I also don't see any options to create ProBuilder objects at all in the create menu.

[vestal torrent]

Yeah, don't have that button..

I have 6.0.9 installed, I'm on Unity 6.4

[latent meadow]

#🛠️┃probuilder check the pinned messages

try pressing ~ and see if it is just hidden

[strong lily]

dang they got info on everything xd

[vestal torrent]

I'm wondering if it's just not installed correctly, somehow?

I see literally 0 signs that ProBuilder is installed other than Package manager saying it is (I've reinstalled and everything)

So I'm not sure if this is a package issue or me just not understanding the probuilder rework

Oh I think I know what's happening..

[gray frigate]

it lives entirely in an overlay menu now, and the menu may be disabled

ah, but you've looked in that list

ensure you don't have any compile errors

[vestal torrent]

That was the issue

Some unrelated shader scripts were failing to compile, causing the plugin to not be 'installed'

[gray frigate]

yeah – until Unity manages to compile, the new scripts won't do anything

The package will be installed from the POV of the package manager, but the scripts haven't done anything yet

[slate kayak]

Guys im currently investivating unity ml-agents for an artistic project, im very new to unity and was wondering if anyone has used it to train their own 3D models locomotion, in my case im only looking to train a rodents how to crawl in a burrow.

ai-tools is for generative AI questions

[latent meadow]

looking through the channel, i have to disagree. it does specifically seem to cover ML agents too, the #1202574086115557446 room i mean. Edit: Nevermind,. i misunderstood what you said @ Fen

[gray frigate]

right, i'd put that in that category

should build a C&C game in unity hmmmm... i miss that game xd

[strong lily]

[stark goblet]

How good is unity for a struggling beginner? or do i start with something simpler like scratch. i just keep finding myself coming back to the idea of unity.

[near wigeon]

pretty good but you need at least basic coding though

[stark goblet]

thats sorta why i thought of starting with a learning tool like scratch?

[near wigeon]

scratch good to teaching some logic flows sure but so can beginner c#

check pins in #💻┃code-beginner

[stark goblet]

i made a post a while back there, and i was told my post wasent related to coding.

[untold gull]

Guys I have a question, if I want to make a gravity system like in mario galaxy, but without realistic movement, keeping the physic of mario 64 / mario galaxy movements style, should I use a rigidbody or a character controller component ?

[strong lily]

i would just start with c#, it will give you so many open lanes later on down the road. the more you learn

almost feels endless lanes tbh. xd

i started years ago with javascript / json / databases.
ummm javascript does not scale well xd

this was years ago tho lol

[worldly cave]

well if it isnt related to coding then yeah

that wouldnt be the place to put it

besides you dont have to make a post, just look at the pins.

[stark goblet]

Were your forced to use javascript or was it by choice?

[strong lily]

my brain learned javascript really FAST because i learn to script in python first.

then javascript gave me so many idea's but every time i scaled, i failed.

prob my fault obv xd

[stark goblet]

I have another question that is most likely in the pins, but are there any modern unity-tubers you guys would suggest?

or is there a better way to start?

[slim narwhal]

when making a modding api, should I create all features and behaviours in StreamingAssets or should I have the game put the data in persistentDataPath?

or just have it load from unity assets directly?

[latent meadow]

i am not sure what you mean by streaming assets, but have you looked at Addressables?

[slim narwhal]

well, the plan is other users would be able to use a similar format in persistenData and the game would be able to load it at runtime

[latent meadow]

you have definitely picked one of the harder subjects. good luck

[obtuse haven]

im really new to making stuff and texturing can someone please help me texture my thing. im crying i dont understand it i can send the blend file pls help

[latent meadow]

that is not how this server works. you can ask on the blender server if you need blender help. there are more than enough tutorials on youtube, etc to teach you everything you need, too.

[quiet olive]

bro all the tutorials for the new input system are ass, i can't understand a bit of it

[slim narwhal]

i have a very basic understanding of it

[quiet olive]

can you send me the tutorial you used

[slim narwhal]

i didnt use a tutorial

[fair cove]

While I cant help you with modding anything, my suggestion would be to consider 1: how is your data stored? and 2: how is your data constructed in Unity? "PersistantData" is just a path to a folder like any other on someones computer, nothing special about it (other than maybe certain system permissions), what matters is if the files in that folder are in a format your game already knows how to represent, the API and Unity tools you use depend on if they help solve 1 of those 2 (or ideally both) issues

[slim narwhal]

uhhhhhh
basically mod support...

[latent meadow]

#🖱️┃input-system check the pinned messages

[copper gust]

Depends on the game for mod related stuff tbh

[fair cove]

I would suggest "samyam" on YouTube, she has a great playlist on how to use it, then the official packages docs "how do I...?" provides lots of common use-case examples, and the package itself come with several sample projects such as a rebinding sample project if you needed that feature for example

[slim narwhal]

well, i think i have an idea
basically, the game will be split into 4 "objects" (with more to come if i feel like it) and 3 "systems"
the objects are Apples, Effects, Items and Props
the systems are Behaviours, Objects and Managers

Behaviours are what mods create. They define how an object should act.
Objects are the Apples, Effects, Items or Props themselves. They store behaviours and other data (like textures, sounds, rigidbody, etc)
Managers are responsible for spawning or obtaining info of an active object. For example, the AppleSpawner is the manager for Apples, which handles spawning apples and the weighted randomness

basically i need to know whether i should write my behaviour system in streamingassets or in regular assets

[quiet olive]

the tutorial in pinned messages doesn't look the same as what I'm using 😭
first is mine (I set up the movement inputs) and the other is the tutorial

is there any difference

[quiet olive]

will check her out

[latent meadow]

perhaps follow Dibbie's suggestion

[quiet olive]

all of samyam's stuff is from 4 or 5 years ago

[fair cove]

I would think regardless where you decide to write the file to, your game would need to know how to read that file in a way it can be used in a build, otherwise its just "a text file with words" and no real "behavior" to actually do anything with, if a modder defines a "prefab with a rigidbody and some sound file on my computer", your game needs to know how to read that text file in a way that spawns a prefab that doesnt exist, attach components at runtime and convert bytes of a file path into usable data, where you store that likely doesnt matter much

[latent meadow]

the 'new' input system is older than that. @ MineTerra

[copper gust]

I can’t fully answer this question rn (on the phone) but you’d want to make the system in assets but look for content in streamingassets basically. Worth keeping in mind for any modding we can discuss in this server, modders cannot provide their own custom c# code, so they need to provide their own json files, images, maybe lua code etc and you need to find that stuff at runtime and integrate it into your game

[fair cove]

The input system hasnt changed much, it still uses events and polling so all of them should still be helpful

[slim narwhal]

couldnt modders just compile it into a dll and the game could read from that?

[quiet olive]

i just looked that up, it seems I'm just a moron

[latent meadow]

this is a question to be asked in the already known input room, so you know.

[quiet olive]

alright

[copper gust]

We can’t talk about that kind of stuff here afaik as it starts to break unity tos even though the convo is in good faith

but yes that is possible

[slim narwhal]

oh really?

hang on lemme reread it

Look up LethalLevelLoader if you wanna see me do it lol

You make a shader for that, you could also go and make the texture naturally do that to but that isnt scalable
