[zinc ivy]

I have 2 questions about unity 1. why doesn't the C# code work for me 2. why can I paint tiles, like I see black squares in the tile editor or something I'm willing to do voice and stuff

[agile abyss]

You can use multiple IDE's but i would suggest to use the one unity recommends, you can get visual studio 2022, or visual studio code, and in your preferences under External Tools, you can link the script editor you want to use. visual studio 2022 and vs code, have Unity Specific addons aswell. The whole tile thing i dont know about, i don't do 2D stuff in unity.

[stuck flower]

The answer to 1 is probably "because you didn't do it right" and that's the best answer you can get with the information provided

Number 2 sounds like you just don't have any lights

[native nimbus]

Ok, random question for y'all, give me TWO animals that if you combine them together would make a cool scary monster? PS: this is for my new and first game.

[copper gust]

cat and dog

[native nimbus]

The thing is, the body structure of a cat and a dog is pretty similar to make it look good, can you think of something else?

[quiet olive]

any insect with any non-insect

[native nimbus]

like what?

[quiet olive]

use your imagination

[native nimbus]

let me go to my drawing board

[native nimbus]

idea, how about a moth + deer

[quiet olive]

see thatts pretty fire

[tawny quail]

Spider + deer

[native nimbus]

ill come up with a sketch of the moth deer

Question:
Anyone know if Intel Arc graphic cards have any known issues with Unity compared to Nvidia RTX cards? I'm considering getting an Arc B580 when I build my desktop this summer.

[inland tulip]

do you know a good tut on both of them

[agile abyss]

I cant say i know a good tutorial on what your specifically looking for but i do know one thats like 3 hours long that covers all the information of shader graph

[inland tulip]

whats it called?

[hidden marlin]

In every project even in the projects that I quickly give up, I give the company name a pretty odd one

The word isn't that bad but it can be rude

In every unity project

[fair cove]

I would suggest having a consistent name, the "company name" in editor settings shows up in a few places (namely "persistent data path" and when you get logs at runtime) and you can access it by code too if you wanted, if you change it up often it could make it confusing to find certain files later

[restive wolf]

Does Unity have a demo scene on how to do realistic graphics?

[slow dirge]

Probably many throughout the years. Mainly hdrp sample projects and templates.

[restive wolf]

Fair enough. I'll take a look at them.

[hidden marlin]

it's not "company name" though

I just put there a Czech word + Games

[fair cove]

Well whatever you put in "company name" and "product name" becomes part of the path Unity uses for some things, regardless of the meaning those words have, if its not "company name" then im not sure I understand what your referring to

[hidden marlin]

oh

[toxic matrix]

hey i need help what channel should i talk in

[slow dirge]

Depends on what you want to talk about. Refer to #📑┃channel-directory

[toxic matrix]

when i upload my tileset to the tile pallete tool it shows it as black

[storm patio]

don't crosspost please, you've already asked in #🖼️┃2d-tools

go give this info there

[toxic matrix]

sorry

[brisk anvil]

I accidently clicked something and my orientation background is black, does anyone know how to revert this? 😅
I tried dragging it around and clicking on it

I'm also solo now, (after a while of working with a team on non-unity), still super recommend you to give it another shot

[brisk anvil]

you have a bunch on the asset store, some are from unity but many community ones (especially on github) have explanations and notes in their shader / vfx graphs and readmes

[fallen warren]

Hey, I am having problems with opening my game can anyone help?

[storm patio]

could you be more specific?

what issues are you having exactly?

[fallen warren]

Lemme show you a screenshot

I worked so hard on the game for this to happen

[storm patio]

have you successfully opened it previously?

[fallen warren]

Yes

I have a file of the game

[storm patio]

did you change something right before this issue occuring?

[fallen warren]

No

[storm patio]

eg moving folders or something

perhaps check logs then

!logs

[fallen warren]

Oh no

I did this before

I reset my downloads folder which deleted ther game but i put it on unity cloud thinking it will have a backup before I cleared my downloads

wait

Its still here?

[storm patio]

as in, you put it in unity vcs?

[fallen warren]

What is that?

[storm patio]

unity version control

[fallen warren]

how do I do that?

[storm patio]

no, i'm asking what you did lol

[fallen warren]

I have no idea

[storm patio]

well, is there anything in the project folder

[fallen warren]

How do I check that?

@storm patio

[fallen warren]

It brings me to downloads folder

I think |I have the exported APK file for the game

Is there ANY way to open the game in unity hub from the APK file?

[latent meadow]

no. an apk is not a unity file. you never opened this in unity. you perhaps played it, but that is different. ripping and modding, etc, and not topics allowed here.

[fallen warren]

well I will never update my game ever again 😭

I contacted support anyway

[latent meadow]

i hope you did not contact Unity support as this has absolutely nothing to do with them

[silent mica]

By opening the folders in file explorer and looking what is in them

[latent meadow]

granted, i just woke up, but aren't they trying to open an APK like a project?

[silent mica]

You have several folders that seem like potential matches

[fallen warren]

Ok

[silent mica]

Sounds like they had something open in editor at some point

[fallen warren]

Is there any way you think will work

to open the game in unity hub

[latent meadow]

ok. I will step back until my eyes are fully open 😅

[fallen warren]

is the game in unity's servers or something

[latent meadow]

sorry if i entirely misunderstood what you are trying Wonky

[silent mica]

I would spend this energy on looking at the folders you already have

[fallen warren]

This is what happens when I try to open the game

[silent mica]

Unity is not storing them unless you use their version control service

[fallen warren]

What If I enable it now?

[silent mica]

What is in those GorillaTemplate folders?

[silent mica]

Well you naturally need the files to exist

[fallen warren]

The template I used for the VR game

[silent mica]

And none of those 3 folders are the project you actually worked on?

[fallen warren]

I have no idea

[copper gust]

why don’t you know

[fallen warren]

I lost access to one before because I reset my downloads folder And I didnt know that the project was on there

[silent mica]

Add all of them to Unity Hub and start looking through them. Alternatively try to recall some change you made and go through them in file explorer. Assets and code files are regular files you can open.

Have you checked trash bin?

[fallen warren]

Can someone help me with that I dont know how

[copper gust]

If you deleted your project your project is deleted unfortunately

[fallen warren]

Its not there

[copper gust]

There probably isn’t a happy ending here tbh

[fallen warren]

I can play the game because I have the APK for it I just cant update it

[copper gust]

yes

[silent mica]

Unity can't open built games. Recovering anything beyond this point is out of the scope of this server.

[latent meadow]

so to summarize, you had a GTAG template. you had that Project (the template) open in Unity and you Built it as APK. then something went wonky and you lost access to the project, but still have the APK?

[fallen warren]

Yesd

[latent meadow]

ok

[fallen warren]

I reset the downloads folder I think

[strong lily]

its a good learning lesson tho, people need to understand, backups man.

[fallen warren]

I will jkust start over for the 3RD time

[copper gust]

version control

[latent meadow]

use Source Control

[fallen warren]

How?

[latent meadow]

google how to use Git with Unity, or GitHub with Unity

but there is a general computer usage issue here too.. what on earth does 'reset the downloads folder' mean?

[fallen warren]

Like this ima show a screenshot

[latent meadow]

also, you need to make sure none of the folders are controlled by OneDrive

again, these are things to google about

[latent meadow]

i see. yes, you need to spend some time with 'ye olde google'

[fallen warren]

What?

English please

[latent meadow]

not much to say beyond what has been said. make sure that nothing is controlled by 'OneDrive'. google to understand how. make sure to use source control/version control once your get you possible hard drive space issues resolved, google how. that is really it. when you get back to Unity issues, we will probably see you again

[fallen warren]

Thanks for trying to help I will get back to making the game

[viscid raft]

@fallen warren When you have time, please watch this video in full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE
It explains version control, and how to use Git as version control. It also explains publishing your project to GitHub, and how to use GitHub desktop to easily achieve it.

[fallen warren]

Ok i am now

thanks!

So is a repository like a backup?

[viscid raft]

It acts like one amongst other things, yes

Its history allows you to record backups since you can always go back through commits

[fallen warren]

But it is asking If i want a readme file like people will use my game?

I dont want people to use my game

[viscid raft]

General use of a Git repository is to collaborate with other users

[fallen warren]

Oh ok

[viscid raft]

So don't add a readme?

[fallen warren]

Ok i wont

[latent meadow]

set it to private

[fallen warren]

Ok thanks

I think you are fake

[worldly cave]

Dont think they will let you get away with that name pfp combination for long

[fallen warren]

Yeah I think you should change your name and pfp

Hey, where do I go when they say this https://youtu.be/8Dd7KRpKeaE?t=418

[warped vector]

Currently I'm unable to open one of my projects (I'm on Ubuntu Linux.)
On UnityHub, I can click the project and the status goes to "modified a few seconds ago" but nothing happens

Anyone know what's up?

[fallen warren]

No sorry

[viscid raft]

The same, but in Visual Studio

They just happen to use VSCode which might differ to what you use

[fallen warren]

But I wanted backups

Not code

I cant code

[viscid raft]

Then this is the step where you insert the project into the repository and get the changes they mention

[fallen warren]

Okie

[viscid raft]

And please make sure you use a proper gitignore file

One for Unity

This will be explained later down in the video so maybe listen to the whole thing before you start trying yourself

[warped vector]

Ah may have figured it out, somehow it lost permissions to my project folder

Bad UX that it doesn't say anything, just fails silently

[fallen warren]

ok

but how do i make backups for the game

because right now its just a new file it created

not the game

@viscid raft

[warped vector]

Hmm but something is a bit off here, I temporarily 777'd the projects folder, now it lets me create the project but "creating" it doesn't actually create any files where it's supposed to

Immediately after creating it just says "project not found on disc"

[viscid raft]

git will track the progress of your project. pushing commits to github records up to that part of the project (assuming you commit all files). If you made a mistake you can go back to a previous version by reverting commits

[fallen warren]

but how to link it to unity???

[viscid raft]

You can also make branches. These deviate from the main project to side-versions which allows you to experiment, refactor and generally change your stuff without polluting the main repo. You can also throw away the branch if you end up not using it.

[viscid raft]

You don't "link" Unity. You make a repository of your project and push it to GitHub

[fallen warren]

how do I do that?

[warped vector]

You're overthinking it, they are just files

[viscid raft]

Did you watch the video?

[fallen warren]

no

I will watch to the end

[viscid raft]

It's explained how you push content to GitHub. If you watch the video you will understand how that works. After that it's a matter of making the same repository, but from your actual project, and pushing the changes

[warped vector]

Learning git is very important if you want to get somewhat serious, just give it some time

After a while it starts to "click"

[fallen warren]

But the game is here and i have the file. how do I make a repo thing for an already existing Game??

[warped vector]

Are you using github desktop or command line version of git?

[fallen warren]

github desktop

[viscid raft]

File -> New repository

[fallen warren]

I have both though

[warped vector]

Yup you have to just create a repository from github desktop on the exact location where your game folder is

[fallen warren]

Yes but that makes a new code thing

[viscid raft]

new code thing?

[fallen warren]

Ohhhh ok then

[viscid raft]

It makes a new repo, like you ask for

[warped vector]

There is a built-in .gitignore for Unity, make sure you enable that

[viscid raft]

Specify your project as the path and you have your repo

[fallen warren]

how?

[fallen warren]

what is the path?

[viscid raft]

Seriously?

[fallen warren]

oh i can find it now

I moved it to documents so i dont accidently delete it

Does this mean It will make backups?

[storm patio]

not automatically, no

[fallen warren]

How to use git for this project

[storm patio]

a repo can act as a backup, but you'll also have to commit and push changes - it's not directly like a backup

[fallen warren]

I would rather use git on this project

[storm patio]

well if you were to use git you wouldn't be using uvc

[fallen warren]

I want to use git

[strong lily]

u can watch a 5 min video on youtube which will tell you everythking about git github and unity and ur ide. (tells you how to connect them and use them)

• more.

[fallen warren]

how do i connect this project to git?

[delicate sapphire]

hi, i got an issue that my texture2d and tmp text works on both my editor and play mode, but when i test it in both android and ios build, they just disappear

anyone have clue about it?

[fallen warren]

is there any way I can stop using unity version control

like remove it from the project

[delicate sapphire]

specifically, they’re the texture and text of a button

[strong lily]

cant u just goto package manager then uninstall ? lol

[abstract umbra]

@fallen warren if you click those 3 dots again and if your project IS connected to unity cloud, you should see the "disconnect from unity cloud" option there

or i mean source control

[warped vector]

Okay I finally fixed it. It wasn't a permission issue. It's that a library called libxml2 which Unity depends on got abandoned and no longer comes with Ubuntu, and Chrome no longer pulls it as a dependency.
The workaround is to create symlink to a newer version of that library. For me it was: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.16.1.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2

[zinc ivy]

and how do i add the lights in the tiles editor

bc when i need to paint with those tiles it wokrs just fine

[latent meadow]

there is a dedicated #🐧┃linux room

[warped vector]

Ah I didn't have it on my channels list

I know Ubuntu 26.04 is a quite new but it's still an officially supported system, and it literally doesn't work without a bandaid fix

[latent meadow]

yeah, i got annoyed with the half hidden channels due to role (not that, that is a bad design), so i enabled them all

your option is to apply the bandaid yourself or inform Unity Support that there is an issue

[silent tinsel]

Is it possible to learn unity programming without tutorials when my only programming was in scratch or gamemaker? (Visual coding)

[pearl oyster]

Depends what you count as tutorials and how you're planning to learn it instead

[silent tinsel]

Learning it by myself

Is it possible learning from reading every possible things that you can type?

[pearl oyster]

no

[silent tinsel]

Okay

Ig i will just try visual scripting in unity

[stuck flower]

You'll still need to learn that

[latent meadow]

when you are programming, the IDE (visual studio, etc) do auto completion and auto suggestion for you. this is called syntax.
visual scripting does not do this for you in the same way.
there is absolutely no point on even considering learning "everything you can type" as it ends up being meaningless/impossible. the important thing is to know what can be done. this is literally the same in visual scripting. in the end, many, many people find that, due to the autocompletion to take care of spelling and reducing typing, regular c# scripting in an ide is easier and more efficient in the end than visual scripting. you still need to know the same concepts. as far as not using tutorials, you are just hurting yourself. it is a good idea to watch tutorials so you can see what can be done. you do not need to attempt to learn the logic from them. so, use tutorials, just use them how they would work for you.

[south burrow]

Hmmm, does unity have a 3d noise texture?

[latent meadow]

are you using shader graph? @ john

[silent tinsel]

I kinda know visual coding better bc i used scratch and gamemaker

But i want something that 3d is easier

[south burrow]

my current one is a custom shader so no, but I do mix both shader graph and code shaders

[latent meadow]

#1391720450752516147

[rough field]

the terrain tools package has a noise generator tool that you can export as textures

[worldly cave]

you would be surprised at how easy C# is to pick up

[silent tinsel]

then teach me LOL

[worldly cave]

im not going to teach you

theres plenty of tutorials on the internet

do you think every single person here had another person intruct them? Most of the people here learned the same exact way, tutorials.

[storm patio]

@silent tinsel perhaps check that out ^
if you have significant prior experience with visual scripting, then you've already learnt the hardest part, the logic

[worldly cave]

Its a good message hell i would even argue that "Logic" transcends programming in general, just being a good problem solver is a skill transferable across many different hobbies and professions

[silent tinsel]

well, i know the logic, the only problem is learning the language

[worldly cave]

why is it a problem

sounds to me like you havent even started it

[storm patio]

the language may be difficult depending on your past experiences or expectations, but trust me, it's not as difficult as it seems

it's more daunting than it is difficult

[worldly cave]

c# is also very easy in comparison to some other languages

[silent tinsel]

okay ty

[worldly cave]

there are some pins in #💻┃code-beginner you should check out

for getting started with c#

[robust vortex]

i think its a great starting point. if someone only learns C# and nothing else they can do pretty much anything, from mobile apps, to games, even web dev, .dll plugins... game mods. etc

[dusk lichen]

only thing about c# is OOP sucks ass

[stuck flower]

Gonna be real hard to find a game engine using a declarative language

[dusk lichen]

here they come

[robust vortex]

bro were you born in like 1975 or sum

[dusk lichen]

no

[robust vortex]

i love oop man

[dusk lichen]

idk why

[stuck flower]

OOP is vastly overdone. It's treated as the "default" when it absolutely shouldn't be. But specifically game development is the best case scenario for OOP. Games involve objects, those objects have hierarchical structures.

In most programs, you're just representing data, and data isn't a "thing". Video games are usually trying to represent some sort of actual space, which does contain "thing"s.

[spark tundra]

helo.

[hard parcel]

It's actually called intelIsense or something like that and it has nothing to do with the IDE, usually and is extension based, so you can write your own and accomplish the same thing with scripting languages

[latent meadow]

what is helps you to complete correctly is syntax. you feel free to write one for a text editor to your hearts content.

[hard parcel]

Nope, auto complete, go to defintions, find all references. And many more, intelIsense

[dusk lichen]

no yeah i totally agree with this tbh

[latent meadow]

go explain it to them then. i honestly have no idea why you are feeling the need to attempt to be so pedantic.

[dusk lichen]

still hate it though xd

[spark tundra]

guys Sorry for the Interpret but I fixed the issue. I safely downgraded the project to ** Unity 6 (6000.3.13f1) LTS version.**

that Bug of the Local volume blending in the HDRP in Unity 6 6000.4.6f1.

and I really Appreciate your support and Recommendation. Thank you all. here it fixed and don't mind this Massage and Plz Continue.

^_~

[hard parcel]

I have, I had to, for my reactiveuitoolkit library that's built on top of ui tool kit

[dusk lichen]

oh god dont get me started on ui toolkit

[latent meadow]

mind if i get back to work now?

[hard parcel]

It's not that complex either

[dusk lichen]

ugui >

[hard parcel]

Yea you already said you don't like it, with no reason.

[dusk lichen]

• more complex to get started

• buggy/bad design, for example if you edit a uss in ide and forget to save ui builder before saving your file, it'll just refresh your entire ui builder and revert anything you've changed

• web dev sucks ass, if i wanted to design a webpage i'd be a web dev

pros: you can get a lot cleaner and uniform UI with ui toolkit i guess

but then again can you really?

ugui has layout groups, basically everything ui toolkit has

just less complex to use, if you dont know web dev anyway

if ur familiar with web dev then sure

[stuck flower]

Something being similar to another well-trodden form of development is a good thing, actually. Transferability of skills is a very important thing in programming. You really don't want to get super good at a closed system and then have that system go belly-up and be left with no skills of value

[dusk lichen]

suppose it depends what workflow you are more used to

[hard parcel]

Well put.

[stuck flower]

There are a lot of web developers looking for work you could hire to work on your video game, or if the video game goes bust, there's a lot of web development work you could use your USS skills at

[hard parcel]

I think for a medium to complex ui, ui toolkit is so much better.. by a large margin

[dusk lichen]

and on top of all this, the ui im making is a world space ui, which i dont know how this is going to pan out with ui toolkit

ive looked online and apparently ui toolkit is still kinda aids with worldspace UIs

so maybe ill have to redo and do it all again in ugui

[hard parcel]

Ui tool kit works very well in workspace

[stuck flower]

Also, this is a very well-worn design problem. Web development is massive, and basically every possible pain point has been found and sanded down. If there's a thing you want to do, chances are, someone has wanted it before and solved it. Then you just need to figure out how to translate the CSS to USS

[dusk lichen]

yeah but if you decide to go into web development as a career you just hate ur life

[hard parcel]

Just configure it to do so, I am working on a demo for my library that does exactly that, world space ui interaction

[dusk lichen]

even if i was paid $500k a year i wouldnt do web dev

[stuck flower]

Okay but that is like, the definition of a "you problem"

[dusk lichen]

not really, i base this off my peers and hwo much they hate their life as a web dev

its a generalised opinion

[stuck flower]

Literally everybody hates their job. Humans do not dream of labor

[dusk lichen]

idk i dont hate mine

but i digress

web dev sucks

[hard parcel]

Web dev suck, could be depends on which area your in, if it's purely design yea

Once you go more into more complex fields.. it gets just as interesting as other areas.

But purely design is hell

[dusk lichen]

pouring one out for my CSS homies

they do not deserve the pain they endure

[hard parcel]

Try to create a multi pages/menu ui without ui toolkit.

I think it would be much easier with it

[dusk lichen]

i did my ATM with ugui + events, works fine

[wispy reef]

how to set controlled file/folder to private and ignored?(in unity version control)

[near wigeon]

probably modify the ignore.conf manually ? idk much about uvc

you keep something "private" by not committing it in the first place

[gray frigate]

there should be an equivalent to git rm --cached, where you delete a file from the repository without removing it from the working tree

[wispy reef]

yah , but now i want to seperated logic in brach to two branches

i mix up two mechanics logic

[near wigeon]

so two separate branches and then cherry pick ?
or you'd have to look into GIT and how its done then find equivalent in UVC

[wispy reef]

deleted item from dev ops then checkout and ignored, at last deleted from project

[brave musk]

hiii. how do i import tilesets then apply them?

[near wigeon]

wdym ?

apply then again?

[brave musk]

nevermind the again

had a brainfart

also how can i make these sprites separate to apply each as needed?

[near wigeon]

slice them in Sprite Editor

[brave musk]

slice, that was the word i needed

was that too for the tilesets?

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/sprite/sprite-editor/automatic-slicing.html

[fathom stream]

AI made

[civic crow]

Hello

[brave musk]

hi

[civic crow]

Anyone currently making a card game in unity? Specifically the standard 52 card card deck? Not any magic type of cards or anything. Just normal playing cards. ?

[near wigeon]

mediocre nonsense at its finest

[civic crow]

The reason i ask is because im building a system that is aimed to help devs create card games with ease.

[near wigeon]

is this a pitch meeting or

[undone monolith]

You've used the new Unity AI Beta for this???

[civic crow]

I may need a couple of people to use it so I can make sure it is user friendly and easy to understand.

[near wigeon]

if its unity related you may make a post in #1180170818983051344 and put in a proper request in post

[fathom stream]

Bro, what exactly do you expect a newborn baby to do, build a nuclear reactor?

[civic crow]

Ah ok thanks

[fathom stream]

yeah

[copper gust]

all babies do is shit and cry, the difference is that isn't posted here

[near wigeon]

I expect not to give newborn any sort of tools until they grow up

[fathom stream]

That’s literally what a beta is for: testing it before it grows up. Keeping it locked away won’t make it better.

🤣

[near wigeon]

its beta to entice future subscriptions, its going to remain as mediocre as possible

create slop content -> train on slop content -> create more slop
the cyclic nature of "AI"

[fathom stream]

Maybe, but that still doesn’t mean testing it is pointless. If nobody tries it, nobody knows what it can or can’t do.

[undone monolith]

I think developers don't realize, Unity's AI feature is more of a utility/tool used for quick ideas or prototypes, but I'm afraid that people may misuse the features and build quick cash grab games and try and get smth out of it, which is honestly really horrible for this industry

[near wigeon]

not saying that, you are individual and you may try it yourself but the latter isn't true.. People have tried it, hence the inevitable conclusion

[copper gust]

if nobody tries it then unity might stop funding it

that would be fantastic

[fathom stream]

I agree with that. I don’t think AI should replace actual development or design work. For me it’s more like a quick prototyping tool, not something to generate a whole game with no effort. Bad developers will make bad games with or without AI.

[near wigeon]

at this point I'd take Template flipping over slop flipping

those were the "good ol days"
kinda sad

[fathom stream]

Fair enough. I’m not defending it as good, just saying it can still be useful for quick prototypes or rough ideas.

[near wigeon]

if it works for you, thats good. Don't expect many traditionalist / true devs to look favorably towards it

[undone monolith]

I do understand Unity's intention with this new feature, but obviously it's receiving backlash due to how developers will ACTUALLY use it and tend to rely on it

[copper gust]

the intention is investment money

[near wigeon]

** Greed

[fathom stream]

I think people who completely reject AI will struggle long-term. It shouldn’t replace real skill, but ignoring it completely is also a bad strategy.

[copper gust]

nah

[near wigeon]

there are benefits to it in small capacities but its not worth transitioning into slop because its "new and shiny"

[fathom stream]

I get that. But being a “true dev” shouldn’t mean refusing new tools. It should mean knowing when to use them and when not to rely on them. AI can help with prototypes, but it can’t replace actual understanding.

[copper gust]

being a "true" dev is developing

thats it

people actively avoiding them are aware of what they can and can't do

they knowingly avoid them

[fathom stream]

To be honest, the official Unity AI integration still feels rough. The community MCP tools are more practical for actual workflow right now.

I just posted an image made with AI, I didn’t say AI should replace developers or the whole industry.

💀

For the whole scene, I only provided a few reference images. I’m not claiming this replaces actual environment design or development.

[dusky forum]

I simply haven't had any explicit need for it. I'm not against AI or new tools. I can see why some folks may want to incorporate it into their development cycle. But I don't believe it's at all necessary for game development.

[lucid aurora]

Heyo,
I'm currently creating a game for school and like an hour ago, the game worked perfectly fine. But now that I test it again (nothing has changed in the meantime), every UI element I try to interact with immediately closes itself again. Like the pause menu for example, does anyone know what could be part of the problem?

Just all UI elements have stopped working, cannot interact with them at all

[near wigeon]

without seeing the setup specifically, all this is guesswork

[lucid aurora]

For example, this is the pause menu script:
Everything is correctly connected in the Inspector.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class PauseMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject pauseMenuObject;

    [Header("Input Actions")]
    [Tooltip("Input used to open the pause menu")]
    [SerializeField] private InputActionReference openPauseInput;
    [Tooltip("Input used to leave the pause menu")]
    [SerializeField] private InputActionReference leaveMenuInput;

    void Update()
    {
        if (openPauseInput.action.triggered || leaveMenuInput.action.triggered)
        {
            GameManager.Instance.TogglePause();
            pauseMenuObject.SetActive(GameManager.Instance.IsPaused);
        }
    }

    public void ResumeGame()
    {
        GameManager.Instance.SetPause(false);
        pauseMenuObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    public void LoadScene(string sceneName)
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneName);
    }
}

About an hour ago this worked fine, it has been working fine for the past 3-4 weeks. But out of nowhere, it just stopped

[near wigeon]

first start putting logs in each function to see whats running and what isnt so you can further narrow down the issue

[worldly cave]

i dont think it makes it any less annoying, youre pretty much making me and Hunanbean look like we are talking to nothing, its simply rude to do to others

if you have such hang ups about anonymous online messages on discord, then dont send them if you plan to delete them immediately and make everyone else in the conversation seem stupid

its also antithetical to the nature of a help server like this, where all issues remain visible with their entire context for anyone to explore at any point

do whatever you want, im just telling you its rude to do

[potent geyser]

If you're going to be deleting your messages and causing confusion in the chat, then please don't post.

[worldly cave]

there goes me, talking to myself again

[latent meadow]

i was away. i came back to phantom ping. talk about confusing :/

[lucid aurora]

I checked it and still I don't know why it automatically closes. Because, even if I remove it that I can close the pause menu with escape. It still closes by itself, I even went back in branches on GitHub where it obviously still worked fine (from 2 days ago). And it stopped working there too.

Also when I force the pause menu open through the hierarchy, I cannot click on any button either. There is just nothing.

I thought it might had to do with my mouse and keyboard, because my sensitivity in the game also went super fast out of nowhere. But then I checked on my laptop, the issues happens there as well.

[hard parcel]

Kuzmo you gotta stop talking to yourself that just looks weird 🙂

[near wigeon]

have you tried making a build ? could be isolated to the editor only - I'd check that too

[lucid aurora]

Tried that, in builds it's the same thing. On my pc and laptop, I just asked a groupmate to test it out on their laptop, so im waiting for an answer from them

But it is only in the game scene, the main menu works fine. So that's a good thing

It has to do with the game scene itself

[lucid aurora]

it doesnt work on my friend's laptop either

[near wigeon]

start from there and triple check any code that may be responsable.
You could try putting the OnDisable method a log then trace the stack and see what called the object from disabling

[fathom nest]

Yo wsg my coding companions. (Cringe ah ik XD)

[latent meadow]

#🌱┃start-here

[lucid aurora]

Alright I got that part down now, I think it was closing itself when opening (weird that it worked for so long and now stopped working out of nowhere). So I tried something else and it currently stays open, but now I'm unable to interact with any UI button.

I have turned off every other UI element that could possibly be interfering with it. Still nothing, checked the event system to see if it picks up a click. Also nothing

[near wigeon]

thats kinda vague on what originally was closing it..
anyway EventSystem do you have an inputmodule as well that is linked to new input system ?
if you're clicking and inspecting the EventSystem inspector and shows nothing Id make sure the other basics are present including Graphics Raycaster

Sorry, this is an English-only server. The moderation team can't keep an eye on things in other languages so they ask that people use English here. You might need to use a translation service, or try to find a server that speaks whatever language that was.

Yes i have that.

But I will have to stop this conversation here for now, I can continue tomorrow evening with it.
Since tomorrow we have a testing session, I have to wake up at 05:30 for it. I will just use a old build that does work for some reason. Just less features

[fathom nest]

Haha very funny.

[true mirage]

how would i fix this guys? i just formatted my hard drive so i had to back everything up and move it back so that prolly plays into it

i think i jus need to reinstall the editor?

[near wigeon]

or just remove UVC 😆

[storm patio]

try resetting the library
close the project, delete the library folder in your project root, reopen the project, wait for the library to rebuild itself

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:

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

[latent meadow]

@minor oyster ^

[minor oyster]

where is project settings?

[latent meadow]

you were too slow nav! i got all the glory! 😄 , i was waiting for you to type, but you never did

[latent meadow]

it is in Unity, not the IDE

Edit->Project Settings

[minor oyster]

uhh where is active input handling..

[latent meadow]

you have filtered by player.

you need to use the learning site after this.

clear the filter. then click player in the left hand side.

[near wigeon]

to be fair the instructions doesnt clarify that its under Other Settings tab

[minor oyster]

man

i need to learn unity language

[minor oyster]

how do i clear the filter?

[near wigeon]

btw instead of player you could've just searched active input handling itself it would've probably came up

[latent meadow]

press the x

not the big one, the small one next to player

[minor oyster]

i have cursed unity

found the active input handling!

now what do i do with this.

[latent meadow]

you read the instructions already sent.

look at the error in the console. look at the instructions.

[minor oyster]

i set it to old?

oh

[latent meadow]

for compatibility, just set it to both

[minor oyster]

do old and new style scripts go together?

[near wigeon]

no such thing as old and new scripts

[latent meadow]

in the way you are thinking of it though, yes

it allows you to use those 'old' input system references (old scripts), while also capable of using the 'new' input system references (new scripts)

but as nav said, no such thing really. it is just the microcosm of input system commands that are affected

[minor oyster]

this is great news : D

[near wigeon]

the references themselves are there already hence why you were able to pullup the Input class
unity just changes which system is called

[latent meadow]

most of your errors should be gone now

[minor oyster]

why wouldnt anyone turn on both

[near wigeon]

there is no reason to mix them, thats why the new system exists and shouldbe learned

its just there for backwards compatibility

[latent meadow]

tough to say. as things get more advanced in how you want to control your game, the new input system is great. but, some people do just use the old one, and thankfully, Unity realized that and kept it around for them

[undone dagger]

Hey there, just a quick question, is it possible to create a project on Unity Hub without creating a repository? (as in, create purely local projects for testing).

[gray frigate]

That's the default behavior, isn't it?

[latent meadow]

yes, turn the cloud off, when creating it

[gray frigate]

ah, not quite default

[near wigeon]

didnt they make it off by default or they still trying to trick ppl

[gray frigate]

"local project" means that it doesn't create a corresponding Cloud project

[latent meadow]

but, that is technically not a repository, so if yo are talking source control, that is a totally different issue

[undone dagger]

Yeah, i meant without needing to create a Github or Gitlab repository

Sorry, should've been more specific

[latent meadow]

.. then what Fen said is 100%.. that is Not automatic

[minor oyster]

MY JUMPING WORKS

thanks guys : D

[gray frigate]

I do know that the Hub recently got some support for GitHub

I haven’t tried using that yet

[near wigeon]

og hub for the win

[latent meadow]

ok, i do have to say, that absolute latest hub, with the templates, has not hit Linux yet, so i am not sure of automatic status at this point

[latent meadow]

does it make sense now, or are you still seeing something cloud based/version control forced?

[undone dagger]

Well, it does now.
And it does seems to require me to generate an access token, otherwise i can't create a local project.
Unless i'm missing something
(removed the sent image because i forgot to black out my Unity Organization, sorry)

Sorry for making too many questions, i've just recently updated my Unity Hub

😅

[near wigeon]

yeah that was mybad ima edit that out.. Had no idea cause I use old hub xD

[latent meadow]

yep. news to me too. that update has not hit Linux yet. i have to assume there is a way around it, or i am simply done with Unity. (i do not think they would do something like that .. .. again)

[near wigeon]

last thing I need is more bloat in hub

im about to just switch to CLI project loading/creation

[undone dagger]

If there is, i couldn't find it

[latent meadow]

what happens when you press the x next to github?

[undone dagger]

....i'm dumb, that was it

Thanks

😅

[near wigeon]

so much friction for no reason..

why unity..

[gray frigate]

this happens after you select a source control provider

the field is, by default, blank

[undone dagger]

No, it was like that by default

[latent meadow]

so just holding last choice then? oh.. strange

[undone dagger]

With a provider by default

[gray frigate]

probably

[undone dagger]

Ok, that was it then

[gray frigate]

i see that if i select a provider, back out, and then create a new project again, the selection remains

[undone dagger]

Huh, yeah

[latent meadow]

hmm. can't say i am pleased

[undone dagger]

Anyways, thanks for the help 😅

okay

[minor oyster]

what is this error for?

[dusky forum]

Probably missing the dot net sdk

[minor oyster]

sorry this is my first day unity scripting

what is dot net sdk

[latent meadow]

the first step in all of these things is googling.

people are willing to help with things you get stuck on, but no one wants to repeat 30 times a day that which is a matter of record and a simple google search

[minor oyster]

your right

i missed the simple. ;

maybe im just tired

do you think its possible i could make a sonic asym game with how im moving

[latent meadow]

it is a little strange though. it has been a while since i was on windows, but i thought the install procedure covered dotnet sdk too. the bot message linked earlier. you do still have an sdk issue, even if the user typo was resolved

[storm patio]

make sure to follow the configuration guide accurately i guess

[peak mountain]

I am hitting a block with my game right now and I am pretty much stuck. I am making a multiplayer fps game where the player can see his own legs/body. The issue I am having is when the gun is placed in the correct area for a proper looking fps view in hip fire orientation the guns butt stock is like up above the shoulder which would be fine but when the IK kicks in it makes the palyer look like hes reaching up and cause the arms are angled down. Id imagine I could find a cool trick to do with 2 cameras and layer masks but hdrp does not support camera stacking. Any advice?

I keep getting advised by AI i should just use a custompass but that isn't going to fix the offset of the gun on the screen. its still gonna be too far out of view to look correct the custom pass will just prevent it from clipping into walls so I am pretty much lost on how I can fix this apart from creating a character model and gun models that are congruent with one another.

whats the best place to start coding 2d top down games ,ive done scratch before but that was really begineer stuff so i wouldnt count it .Any tutorials that teach you from zero?

id say stay away from tutorials and look for articles on how someone implemented a specific feature you're trying to implement.

have you gone through unity essentials or some of the beginner pathways in unity learn

beyond that you would need some sort of idea or goal

hello, do you guys know the existence of a free soloplayer fps game using unity Il2cpp?

You're not going to find completely finished game templates. There are plenty of starter templates on the asset store though.

I meant finished published games, not open source projects

[potent geyser]

[flat breach]

just want to experiment with it and see how I can protect my own il2cpp game

[potent geyser]

So you want to crack it? That's not in scope of this server.

yup that's what I want to do, I know it's out of subject here and that's why I've only asked for a game name that was built with unity

[agile junco]

Does FixedUpdate method depend on the framerate at all?

[pearl oyster]

no

[storm patio]

depends on what you mean by "depend", exactly

[pearl oyster]

(it's more complicated when you dig into it, but in practice, no)

[agile junco]

I've encountered a physics instability after build (where the FPS are 120), but not in editor (where they are ~300), I've made sure to that all the code is called in fixed update. any guesses on why that may be?

[pearl oyster]

Could be any number of things. Show the code and the problem in #💻┃code-beginner or #⚛️┃physics

[storm patio]

hmm i had an edge case i was thinking about but i'm not sure, so i'll pose this as an assumption rather than a statement
there's a maxDeltaTime configuration option, where deltaTime during extreme lag gets capped, effectively making it run slower than real time
so in that case, i believe FixedUpdate would also get called slower (but consistently, in regards to deltatime)

[agile junco]

I checked, and made that equal to the default, to no results

[storm patio]

uhh i did not tell you to check or change anything

i'm just explaning a case where fixedupdate might "depend" on the framerate

[pearl oyster]

It's not going to be a problem at 120/300 fps, only maybe when you get to single digit numbers or have massive lag spikes. And even then you're more likely to see slowdowns instead of things breaking

[agile junco]

Well, my code doesnt fit. How do people usually past longer code?, or should I just paste the most important parts?

[strong lily]

also what that did, was reinstall the package. pretty much. just fyi.

[strong lily]

what version do people use most often yall think? is there an actual stats to that?

[crimson nimbus]

good day everybody!
I'm having the issue with no install options

what can I do to check what is the problem?

[humble valve]

Dont have the answer for that but you could always visit this site to download it
https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

For a stable version download the LTS ones

[crimson nimbus]

tried here, it shows up this error

[pearl oyster]

Which Hub version is it?

[crimson nimbus]

3.18

[pearl oyster]

Are you in China by any chance? You have to use the Chinese versions in that case

[crimson nimbus]

im not

[potent geyser]

Are you signed in, in the Hub?

[pearl oyster]

You have Chinese text in your profile so I'm assuming there's some connection? Is your license activated earlier in China?

[latent meadow]

what version of the engine is the archive?

[crimson nimbus]

yes, just checked that

[crimson nimbus]

oh its japanese characters.
And no, the license was activated in Brazil

[crimson nimbus]

I tried with the latest 3 for LTS and Supported

[potent geyser]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-hub-setup-editor-issue/1684801

Try this answer maybe?

[crimson nimbus]

Thanks, gotta try

[storm patio]

fun fact: in japanese, they're called chinese characters

[latent meadow]

yeah, those are Chinese (according to my 3 seconds of research)

[crimson nimbus]

its working !

thanks @potent geyser

General questions for "pros" Unity devs :

[velvet berry]

Hey all, is there a troubleshooting channel here? I'm new here 🙂 I might create a post in the Unity forums if I have to. I'm just trying to get the Unity 3D Game Kit working. A few errors are popping up. I think it's because I'm using the latest version of Unity and the 3D Game Kit was published a few years ago

[storm patio]

most channels here are help channels

what errors are you getting?

[velvet berry]

Assets\3DGamekit\Packages\SceneManagement\Runtime\TransitionPoint.cs(1,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Cinemachine' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[potent geyser]

You'll need to install Cinemachine via the package manager. It doesn't come in by default.

And hopefully, this asset is using the latest version of it too. 🤷‍♂️

[velvet berry]

I tried updating Cinemachine. It has a few other references that are missing:

Assets\3DGamekit\Scripts\Game\Camera\CameraShake.cs(4,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Cinemachine' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\3DGamekit\Scripts\Game\Helpers\CameraSettings.cs(27,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'CinemachineFreeLook' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I could try re-installing the Gameplay and Storytelling pack

[stuck flower]

Looks like it isn't using Cinemachine 3, you'll need to downgrade to Cinemachine 2, or modify the plugin to not use old APIs that don't exist any more

[gray frigate]

yep, that's the issue

[latent meadow]

for future reference, you should make Threads for dumps like this, and use the code display methods

does anyone know why this keeps happening
ever since updating to 6.4 i keep getting this fucking black inspector
and nothing fixes it
i swear to god

[charred fog]

Make sure you're on the latest update

Although it has another notable bug with tile palette, should be fine for you.

[echo saddle]

i did try updating it

[charred fog]

What version are you on?

[placid moat]

I want to use the asset store tools but I cant log in I get an error "Response did not not contain the list of packages" when I click to log in, anyone else had this issue?

[echo saddle]

6000.4.4f1

i updated it to this and it got fixed for a while

now its back and its constant

impossible to develop

[charred fog]

That is not the latest one, and I had UI inspector issues in that one as well

[echo saddle]

maybe there's another patch notes update

yea 6f1

ill try and see if there's any issues again

thanks!

Hey there, can someone help me out here? im working on a game, and the unity folder is linked with github. Ive implemented Fmod today and i want to share the fmod project with my teammembers, and it would be super nice to have it in the same repo... so i want to create a new nested folder, move all the unity stuff into that new nested folder, and create a new "Fmod"-folder at root. but somehow that doesnt work, it seemed to work, but than the gitignore was broken... and now i cant replicated. whats the best way to do that?

or should i just create a whole new repo for the fmod project

[gray frigate]

The .gitignore will stop working because it sees a path like this

UnityProject/Library

that does not match what's in the .gitignore: "Library"

[mighty isle]

question, is there a way to just make a camera object's position and facing exactly like my own camera in the scene?

kind of a headache to move this thing around and rotate it just right

[gray frigate]

Make sure the .gitignore stays in the same place it was (so, it should be a sibling of Assets, ProjectSettings, etc.)

[gray frigate]

You can use a script to get the position and rotation of the scene camera

This could be a decent way to learn about custom overlays or editor windows!

[mighty isle]

for some reason if i use middle mouse to pan around the editor while having the camera selected it also moves around with the screen?

the interface is really confusing

[gray frigate]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/SceneView-camera.html this gives you a reference to the scene camera

[craggy pollen]

control+shift+f

select your cam first

[gray frigate]

oh wow

i never knew about this!

that's great; thank you

[charred fog]

Works with any object as well.

[mighty isle]

okay for some reason the camera preview at the bottom right and the game view aren't the same??

[gray frigate]

(i immediately used it to smash myself in the face with a quad)

[mighty isle]

there's literally only 1 camera in the scene too

[gray frigate]

double-check by searching the hierarchy for t:camera

[mighty isle]

thank youuu taht worked

[gray frigate]

t: searches for a specific type of unity object

just typing camera would pull up objects with cameras on them, but it'd also find random stuff named "camera"

which could get in the way

Is there anything in a project besides screen dimensions that I should be wary of when making a new build?

I want a MacOS and Web build for my game, but wanna know if I need to make sure some things are how they have to be

[latent meadow]

perhaps talk to #🏃┃animation

[gray frigate]

For macOS, you'll run into some problems with the default security settings. MacOS will not want to run unsigned programs downloaded from the internet.

However, if you distribute through something like Steam or the Itch App, that'll be handled for you

WebGL has some random limitations you might be surprised by

iirc it doesn't have multithreading at all, so it can't load localized strings asynchronously, for example

[peak mountain]

there is no animations dual cameras with an overlay

[latent meadow]

#1391720450752516147

[untold breach]

I'm using Itchio. Am I probably good?

[gray frigate]

As long as the players use the Itch App to install the game

(They should do this – it can patch games, rather than re-downloading them entirely when you need to update)

If they manually download the game, they'll need to do two things:

• Remove the "quarantine" flag with xattr -d com.apple.quarantine GameName.app
• Mark the game as executable again with chmod +x GameName.app/Contents/MacOS/GameName

[crimson nimbus]

alright.... here we are again. It didnt install, returned an error. I checked the forum post and there is one guy that suggests to clean %appdata% unityhub folder. Did that, restarted the hub (and computer) and it still returns the same error. Anybody know how to get around this?

[gray frigate]

(the exact name of the executable may vary)

Yall when making a Mac build having selected the Mac Build as destination the folder is empty and these two dudes popped up

Is the DoNotShip necessary for the project to work?

Do I just zip the Mac Build app folder?

[stuck flower]

If it were, it wouldn't be called "DoNotShip"

[gray frigate]

I'm guessing you wound up building into this folder, not into the "Mac Build" folder

[stuck flower]

It's a bunch of diagnostic and debug information that isn't necessary for the game to run

[untold breach]

So the .app then

[gray frigate]

(an "app" is just a folder with a special name)

[stuck flower]

That's why it says "Do Not Ship", because it's just pointless fluff

[gray frigate]

Right.

If you use Itch, consider using SuperUnityBuild + its butler integration. It's really nice

I click "build" and it builds + uploads all three platforms

https://github.com/superunitybuild/buildtool + https://github.com/superunitybuild/buildactions

i also jury-rigged it to upload to Steam

[untold breach]

Do I talk about this here

A friend was playing the web build

Fullscreen cannot be enabled, and this pops up on play

once Ok is clicked the game is playable

but again no fullscreen

also shutting down the game leaves it frozen on the website

#if UNITY_EDITOR
        UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
#else
        Application.Quit();
#endif
    }

[gray frigate]

i'm not sure what calling Quit even does in a WebGL build

[untold breach]

It freezes the game at that frame and you can't do nothing with it

unless you reload

[untold breach]

This is a greater concert though, is there any obvious cause to this?

Maybe the way I toggle Fullscreen?

[gusty topaz]

Is anyone getting 2FA enabled unexpectedly on their account?

[copper gust]

What platform is this

[latent meadow]

they seem to have activated it for accounts that enabled it in the past. this occurred a couple weeks back. perhaps just now logging in? you can contact Unity Support to get it removed, but you will need to be able to prove it is your account

so i have a problem and im not sure where is the best place to go. My unity account does not have two factor, I never gave them my phone number and they placed two factor on my account and is now asking me for codes that i cant give.

Guys whats it like building mobile games cause I usually just work on PC games and im interested in making a mobile game

[lucid aurora]

Bit of a long message, but its to continue a conversation from yesterday. Sorry for taking up so much space
Coming back on this from yesterday, since I couldn't finish our conversation.
After a lot of debugging/testing/searching for answers online, I have managed to fixed it.

Things I've tried to find/fix the issue, but failed in the end:

• Duplicated the scene
• Created a whole new scene and added all the objects
• Restarted Unity
• Deleted and re-added the EventSystem
• Turned off any UI that could be blocking the click detection
• Slowly deleted all objects in the scene to find if anything was blocking it
• Deleting library folder and restart projecting
• It also all doesnt work in a build
• Tried it on different devices/friends tried it on their device, doesnt work either

In the end I did manage to get the UI turning on/off by itself. It had to do with the way my pausing system was setup.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Then after that I went to look into why the UI was not clickable at all:

Things that not worked:

• Turned off all the raycast targets of all objects except the buttons that are needed
• Turned off all the UI objects except the buttons that are needed
• Since in the main menu everything works, copy pasted the event system from there

Things checked with debug.logs and the results:

• If the game is detecting my mouse clicks. Which is true
• If the game is detecting UI under my mouse. Which is true
• If the buttons are recognizing my mouse clicks. Which is not true

I checked the EventSystem again and switch the Input System UI Input Module with the Standalone Input Module. And then everything works again UI clicking wise.

-------------------------------------------------------------

After a little bit more digging into the Input System itself, because I was lost at this point so just tried random things to see if they work. Checked the Input Settings and switched the Update Mode from Process Events In Fixed Update to Process Events In Dynamic Update.

And that managed to fix everything, without changing anything else in the scene. Ofcourse changing stuff with no knowledge is not good, so I will have to look into it first and what the changes for the project will be. And why it was an issue at first.
But in the end it works.

So thanks for trying to help me out yesterday as well!

[fair cove]

I havnt done much myself though from what I do remember, the biggest challenges was maintaining a very strict file size limit if you plan to upload your build to a mobile platform like Play Store, testing on various mobile versions (although there is a virtual way to do that), supporting iPhones (the process is more involved and require Apple software), and apparently you need a minimal number of testers before your game goes live on the mobile store - which was another challenge, it felt like mobile policies (which affect developers) change every other week - but those are all technical issues, the actual learning process is fairly similar with the consideration of lower end hardware and mobile limits like framerate, touch input, battery life, platform shaders, etc and you might notice different genres are more popular on mobile than PC, but you could try asking in #📱┃mobile if you had specific questions

Can someone help quick! I used a version from 2022 and i saved and tried to open it up the project but it was not there. Instead i went to the file where i keep it and it said i wasnt using the right version. I updated it and everything was gone

I genuinely just feel like giving up. I spent 5 hours on it.

[balmy kettle]

is everything actually gone or do you just not have a scene open

[iron frost]

Everything looks like it’s gone.

I’ll try something really quickly

[balmy kettle]

so there is nothing in the assets folder?

[iron frost]

Yeah that’s what it looks like.

Idk what to do lowk

Size is 3.35 MB too.

Idk if I’m genuinely just fried

[balmy kettle]

so just to be clear, this was a project you still had on your device? or was this a project you had in Unity Version Control?

[iron frost]

I’m new to unity so I don’t know much but I put it in my files on laptop

[formal wadi]

you opened "Assets" instead of the project maybe, or the project name is "Assets"?

you need to open the project, not the assets folder, if this is the case

[iron frost]

The project name is assets. That might be what’s wrong. Idk how to get the og thing back though.

The real name is “Orangutan Occasion”

[formal wadi]

you opened the "Assets" folder instead of opening the orangutan occasion

[iron frost]

Idk how to open it though. Let me try a fix.

[formal wadi]

Unity Hub > Add > Add Project From Disk > Orangutan Occasion

[iron frost]

I’ll try to fix that.

Ima test it real quick

WOAH

OK

IT PULLED UP AN OLD SAVE BUT THATS OK I CAN REDO IT

THANK YOU SO MUCH @formal wadi! YOUR THE GOAT!

[formal wadi]

NO PROBLEM!! 😆 glad your project is ok! and this problem happen to me sometimes lol

[iron frost]

I feel like this will happen alot throughout the game…
That’s ok though.

Why can't I select objects with a negative scale in the scene view lol?

Im working in 2D and setting the scale of some objects to -1 on the x axis and it causes them to be unselectable in the scene view

no, it's not the little hand thingy you can hit in the hierarchy to disable selecting them

[slow dirge]

You should flip the sprite instead. Negative scale is not ideal.

[hard mantle]

why not?

only putting negative scale on the sprite renderer

[slow dirge]

For many reasons. It can mess with physics and rendering.

[hard mantle]

then why would they allow it to go negative?

[tender thicket]

just because you can doesnt mean you should

[slow dirge]

Because it's an option. It's just not adviced.

There might be cases where it's fine, but hey, you got an issue due to it.

[hard mantle]

i'd like to see some evidence for that, people do it all the time where I work.

[tender thicket]

you 7 minutes ago

[hard mantle]

seems more like a glitch mate

granted, I mostly work in 3D, and it works fine if ALL the scale is negative here in 2D

[slow dirge]

I think many people in this community would agree that using negative scale is a bad practice.

[hard mantle]

And yes because I know it will be said, i know 2D is really just 3D

[hard mantle]

I would just like to see some evidence for that, thats all! Never ran into any issues!

Well, before this one time. Which makes it seem like a glitch! And its not a player issue, its an editor one.

[potent geyser]

It's a plane that's negative scaled, so maybe it's just that the raycaster to select it is missing because it's the backface of an interverted collider? That would be my guess.

[hard mantle]

makes sense, I dont know too much how the physicsX works, i do know it doesn't like negatively scaled colliders though.

Does regular object selection use physicsX? Well, it works in the player & play mode, just not the editor scene view.

[slow dirge]

Pretty old, but for example here's an answer by (former) unity staff: https://discussions.unity.com/t/collider-issues-with-negative-scale/472278/3

Since scene view selection is based of renderer, your renderer setting affect the editor selection related physics/colliders.

[hard mantle]

oh that looks like its talking about negative collider scale, I believe newer versions of unity fix this now. Spits out a warnings and inverts the size on the collider component to compensate I believe

[slow dirge]

I'm not sure if it fixes it or not, but scene selection would also need some kind of hidden raycast/collision for selecting renderers. Even if normal behavior is fixed, the scene one might still work as in the past.

[maiden jetty]

do you think people would be interested in a racing game where instead of racing fast cars, like corvettes, mustangs, and Ferraris, it was about racing slow cars, like civics and corollas?

[near wigeon]

Only one way to find out

[uncut anvil]

honestly yeah, the joke is the whole appeal. mario kart proved people don't care about realism they care about fun

[stuck flower]

Add in a mechanic where instead of timing the button to the starting lights you gave to smack the dashboard just right to get the damn thing to start

[hardy halo]

Hey guys!
Hm, if I'm having a weird problem in Unity, where should I ask about it? Here?

[slow dirge]

Depends on how weird it is.

[hardy halo]

It took my dog out for a walk.

[slow dirge]

Check #🔎┃find-a-channel
If none seem suitable here is fine.

[hardy halo]

JK, I don't have a dog

Well, this is the problem

[slow dirge]

No, this is a screenshot

[hardy halo]

Well, yeah 🤯

Whoops

[slow dirge]

And it's not clear from it what the problem is, but as it seems related to tilemaps, it should be in #🖼️┃2d-tools

[hardy halo]

Thanks!

hello, I don't understand what is Il2CppArray, could someone explain me it please?

[copper gust]

what makes you ask about it

[placid moat]

Anyone know what is going on here? https://pastebin.com/K8HJgcKE

When I click login on the Asset store uploader tab I get this error

[snow silo]

anyone having issues with login? I am stuck on security check, even tho I never enabled 2fa ?

also I am not getting any codes not on SMS nor email..

[snow silo]

no one else having this problems? as I just spoke with a friend and it happened to him too

[copper gust]

its come up a couple times in the last day or so

[snow silo]

and is there a solution, besides writing to support?

[brisk anvil]

Bro what 😭

[brisk anvil]

Just logged in succesfully, what are you logging in with? google? email?

[copper gust]

right now the answer seems to be hit up support and hope they answer you maybe next month lol

[brisk anvil]

where are you trying to log in?

[storm patio]

wasn't this a thing like a few months ago

[brisk anvil]

Unity's support is rather quickly, I had them reply to me in less than a day on a similar issue last month

[snow silo]

I am using email

[copper gust]

ok

[brisk anvil]

They made changes to the login token saving thing so now (finally) good remembers you are logged in and don't need to log in every time,
It had issues at first but now it works great

[brisk anvil]

yeah open a support ticket

[snow silo]

yeah now we can't login at all - problem solved 😛

[storm patio]

oh it was just a few weeks ago #💻┃unity-talk message

[snow silo]

yeah I did

[copper gust]

if they enable 2fa without asking you it's not working great
if they enable 2fa without having your phone number its working extremely poorly

[snow silo]

yeah that's the thing I am not sure if I have my phone number even added

that wasn't handled ok 😄

but ok atleast I am still logged in into unity hub haha

[desert dove]

chat I am trying to download Unity and I am getting this message after changing where the downloads go to, what does this mean and what do I do

[snow silo]

oh they already replied, maybe we can solve this today 😄

[desert dove]

I should add, it was originally downloading to my C drive but I don’t want it there so I tried changing the download location to a folder I made in my D drive, cause it has more storage space, and then this error popped up. I was also getting a “download failed” message before switching download locations

[charred fog]

You still need large amount of storage on C: drive

!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.

[desert dove]

That’s why I was trying to get it to install on my D drive

Can it only install to C or something?

[vagrant drum]

if i were to archive a unity project, which core folders do i save ?

aside from Assets, Packages and Project Settings

[storm patio]

anything not in .gitignore

https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

(though some additions are worthwhile like adding .DS_Store if you're on mac)

[vagrant drum]

"user.keystore" as well right ?

[storm patio]

i haven't encountered or heard about that before

[vagrant drum]

i think it was used when i published the game

[storm patio]

on what platform?

[vagrant drum]

google play
