AI seems to be bad i cant work with it, seems like first versions of chat gpt which made tons of errors repeated ones, cant fix simple stuff. and just burning credits,, or im just useless with it

potent geyser
#

AI is something you have to babysit when it's just code. I can't imagine having to wrangle it to do both code and editor/visual specific things. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

copper gust
#

I can’t wait for egregious historical inaccuracies to pop up in game art because people are just chat gpt’ing it all up

brisk anvil

They don't.
They just fixed a bug and improved the asset store login...

#

By any absolutely random chance, has anybody here ever been tasked with using Intune to package Unity for mass deployment, for say, a Unity "Lab" in an educational environment?

brisk anvil
#

I used something similar but not intune, also to deploy projects to 50 PCs in a class

#

are unity and godot kinda same

lean ridge
#

I guess I'm trying to wrap my head around the ways to install Unity. Requirements are Android (SDK NDK JDK) + WebGL + Editor. Previously I used hub -- --headless commands in a script and that worked, but I read somewhere in 3.12 hub they changed things (I was on 3.10 when I last did this without issue). So looking at alternatives. I tested packaging the editor + webgl EXE's, firing them off, and then robocopying the modules over. This works but it turns into a pretty big install payload. I guess I'm in self-reflection mode of trying to determine the best route cause it feels like there are multiple ways to attempt this.

brisk anvil
gilded pebble
#

ok

brisk anvil
#

But if you ask me personally,
I'd tell you godot is about virtue signaling and unity is about making great games.

Godot does take a lot of things Unity does wrong and get them better,

But there are endless more stuff in Unity which you can't do in godot at all, so for the long term I'd take Unity any day

#

The only valid reason I see to switch is open source and pricing but if you make a successful game,
The royalty fee is so considerably low that compared to the features you get in the engine it's pretty negligible

copper gust
brisk anvil
#

That's my personal opinion

copper gust
#

What do you mean Godot is virtue signalling

brisk anvil
lean ridge
brisk anvil
#

I used at the time

UnitySetup64.exe with /S for silent install without hub

And then each module (android, web, etc) has a separate installer

Then like you wrote there is a cli Unity Hub -- --headless install --version 6000.x.xxf1 --module android ... (can't remember the exact command but it was around this)

And I remember we had issues with the licenses, we ended up making them one by one and sending different license files.

Launching the editor itself is just through the downloaded executable

lean ridge
#

I'm trying it again on my demo rig. That command you mentioned is on point with what I used last year (3.10) successfully.

brisk anvil
brisk anvil
lean ridge
#

The more I began to put things in the intune installer package it felt like it was getting a little nutty. Like clearly Unity wants you to download via the hub and all that, whereas the alternative way I was digging into was the manual install (3GB) the manual webgl (1GB) plus the modules which are 10GB and 48k files, lol...

brisk anvil
#

yeah lol makes sense

#

I never used intune before but I get see how it gets dirty quickly

brisk anvil
# copper gust What do you mean Godot is virtue signalling

I don’t mean literally every Godot user obviously.

I mean there’s a very visible culture online where a lot of the discussion around Godot is centered on “Unity bad”, “corporate greed”, “open source morality”, etc. more than on showing impressive games or tech.

Like after the runtime fee drama, a huge amount of viral Godot posts were basically:

  • “I left Unity”
  • “Unity refugees welcome”
  • “open source good”
  • “greedy corporations bad”

instead of “look at this cool thing I built”.

Meanwhile most Unity circles I follow are usually just people posting shaders, tools, optimization, gameplay systems, Steam pages, multiplayer tech, etc.

That doesn’t mean Godot is bad btw. It actually does some things better than Unity.
I think a chunk of its online culture became identity/politics-driven instead of game-driven.

barren nacelle
brisk anvil
#

which version are you using?

barren nacelle
#

The latest version I think

#

The free version tho

brisk anvil
#

for Unity I always upload all c# files in my project and always ask him to tell me what to change and where instead of rewriting everything

#

I made an automation in python for it

brisk anvil
#

in all companies it's like that though so there's not much you can do

storm patio
#

yikes

#

ah we don't have the echo chamber anymore

#

oh well

brisk anvil
#

on the 20$ or alpha plan, you get 1,000,000 context window which is far more than enough

brisk anvil

I was living in an echo chamber but I got hard ass kicked from it in 2020

barren nacelle
storm patio
brisk anvil
#

barren nacelle
brisk anvil
# barren nacelle Hmm, maybe I should try the paid version then

I'd leave a final note with you can give it a try or host your own,
But I don't recommend purchasing if you don't use it much.
Unity's AI is very powerful when it comes to code and is very accurate for what I used it so far, I still use it from time to time.
Should be enough as a free option if you ask me

barren nacelle
storm patio
#

i would like to mention that genAI for code as a tool requires experience to use, and thus is not suitable for beginners (and causes a lot of pain for us helpers in community servers when it's involved)
as well as genAI especially for media having lots of economic, environmental, legal, and ethical issues, but all these are somewhat subjective

#

(to answer your original question, these are some of the reasons why some informed people hate "AI")

brisk anvil
#

and about Unity AI, for example check out this hit effect I made just yesterday using unity ai.
it got post processing, and used a custom pakcage I purchased almost 2 years ago on the store to make the old tv and red vigente effect. (I still didn't add that via code, saving it for later)
it then also added feel per my request.

I think it came out pretty good.

if you are talking about the X Users spamming ai than yeah they are super annoying, but I replied guy to them and it gave my Unity game a really good audience and a strong starting point!
As much that they appear and push into your timeline, use their neediness and spamming madness to your own game dev marketing gains! >:)

copper gust
#

You see people talk about tech stuff in unity 100% because Unity isn’t really doing anything else that people would talk about

#

that’s not necessarily a good thing lol

brisk anvil
#

Yeah and I agree there are talented people making cool stuff in Godot.

The ratio of “Unity bad” discourse to actual gamedev discussion is way higher there than in Unity and Unreal communities.

#

I’d rather a community obsess over rendering, tooling, optimization and shipping games than obsess over moral positioning around an engine/company.

copper gust
#

and shockingly enough plenty of people in the Unity community also shit on unity

storm patio

#

It’ll happen to Unity sooner or later

barren nacelle

potent geyser
#

Both?

#

Marketing is not a "pick one and only do one".

copper gust
#

barren nacelle

#

Then don't put in effort and don't worry about it

barren nacelle

I see

#

You’re right

potent geyser
barren nacelle
#

I would be saddened if no one played my game

potent geyser
#

It's a wild take to think that more work = bad. You are responsible for your own success.

#

The reality is, it'll likely be the case. Most games go unnoticed, despite their quality.

barren nacelle
#

Dang

#

Making games for a living seems like it gonna be hard then

hushed hamlet
#

For context on professional titles, I have friends at various publishers. Most are currently expecting 2x cost and effort on marketing versus development.

Not too long ago it was only 1 to 1. So yeah, it snit unreasonable to expect to work as hard on marketing/promo as you do on the game.

barren nacelle

Tbh even if I still went to school it prolly still wouldn’t be worth it, the country I live in sucks

copper gust
#

Fair

#

Indie development is a very unviable employment pathway

#

Statistically you will not succeed, I don’t say this to be rude, but to highlight that this kinda thing is an important decision

barren nacelle
potent geyser
#

Nothing makes me cringe harder than reading those posts online of people who quit their jobs and school to make games without first having the experience or past successes under their belts. Ooof.

barren nacelle
#

And it’s not like I need to blow up and make like hella money either

copper gust
#

There is a extremely high chance you do not make enough money making games to live

barren nacelle
#

Even $100 could last a month over here

copper gust
#

Most developers do not make $100

barren nacelle
copper gust
#

period

barren nacelle
copper gust
#

thats in total

#

then don’t go to school and do something else

barren nacelle

Over here it’s mainly about connections, degrees don’t actually matter

I'm coming back to a unity project after a few months away

#

And pulling down someone else's changes the app builds but isn't responsive to any input after it loads

#

Theres a bunch of random null reference exceptions seen in logs and even after fixing them (ie if gating) i still see the issue

#

So I'm wondering what to do next

#

(the other person isn't reachable anymore)

potent geyser
#

Start knocking off the errors from the top

#

Are the logs completely void of any errors?

#

Check the commit history too to just get an idea of what they did. Maybe they changed the Input system and broke something? Can you ask someone else if the project was running prior to the other person leaving?

#

You just need to start collecting a big picture of what happened in the months you weren't on the project, basically.

ripe osprey
#

so this is my plan

#

I had to illustrate it cuz I'm bad with words lol

potent geyser
#

You could have just said rope swing 😆

#

Also, that's not how ropes work. Jumping to a hanging piece of rope isn't going to carry any momentum forward.

#

But to answer your question, yes something like that is of course possible.

ripe osprey
#

oh cool!

#

so what would be the better approach?

#

using hinges or just a sprite with bones?

potent geyser
#

I would check out Obi Ropes on the asset store.

ripe osprey
#

is it a free asset?

potent geyser
#

Nope

#

Nobody is making a stable rope solution for free 😬

ripe osprey
#

d a m m i t

#

well I'll check that out

#

does it work with 2d scenes?

#

since I'm seeing just 3d examples

potent geyser
#

How you visualize it is up to you, it's just a system. But if you want to go with a free solution then using bones seems like a more controlled way. Using joints can get finniky

Getting an error loading a scene - Invalid worldAABB. Object is too large or too far away from the origin.. Pretty straightforward error, but there appears to be no way to see what object is the culprit. There's hundreds of objects and some of them have wonky procedurally-generated vertices that aren't visible (I am, in fact, trying to find those objects so I can fix that)

Anyone know of a way I can write an editor script or something that could scan every object in the scene to try to find out which objects are producing this error? Like, given a GameObject, how might I "check" if it's worldAABB is invalid?

hey guys i need some help. i started some days ago working on a backrooms game project, just for fun or maybe it turns into smth good in the future. im doing procedural generation for the first level, i have rooms as prefabs and they connect through conector objects (empty gameobjects with a conector tag). everything works amazingly, EXCEPT the lights, i been through lots of testing and searching, i used baked lights (thats dont work with procedural generation) and now im using adaptive probe volumes, and the issue is that parts of the backrooms are with the light ruined (since it only has saved the light from previous generations), is there anyway to have this work with procedural gen and the amazing lights at the same time?

For what it's worth, I tried to iterate over every transform and check if any of it's world-space coordinates or scales were infinity or NaN, and found nothing

Okay, so, I did the "Bisect and check" method and have narrowed it down to specifically every object that has a deformer:
https://github.com/keenanwoodall/Deform

And it seems to fix itself whenever I toggle the deformer on and off. My guess is, there's some sort of stateful thing in this plugin that just does not get serialized to a scene, and it initializes with a bounding box of zero? I guess I'm gonna have to either debug someone else's asset or write my own...

gray dirge
# ripe sphinx If (x!=null) Do thing that was throwing null reference exception with x

Exactly, that is solving the error, not the problem. What you are saying is "if car part doesn't work, remove the part". That won't fix the car, that removes an engine which was doing odd noises. There is place for that too (cases where some part is optional, if the part is broken as in null, ignore it), but you shouldn't be blindly adding such if statements, that will only make things harder to debug (now you don't have an engine that makes odd noises, now you have good looking car that doesn't do what it's supposed to do).

Upon seeing null reference error you should be asking: why is x null? Should it ever be null? If the answer is no, you need to find a way to make x whatever it is supposed to be rather than null. Maybe you forgot to drag a reference in inspector. Maybe some of the code changed in a way where the reference doesn't exist anymore. Maybe it is some specific edge case in which x can become null for a frame or two. You need to start fixing the broken parts instead of throwing them out the window.

Seems to be specifically TextMeshPros that have the deformer. My guess? This was never meant to actually work with those. Going to see if there's a better way to curve text

Question:
RTX 5050 vs Arc B580

Which is better for unity game development (low poly games) without any planned upgrades for 4-5 years? Also does anyone have experience using the Arc B570/B580 with Unity?

who needs a developer for your project?

As a future game developer... Games like rpg maker for ps1, ums map making in starcraft broodwar and warcraft 3, and always imagining and writing down new content for games like armored core, diablo 1-2, and rpg's like 25 years ago.

Decided to learn regular software development first a few years ago but started learning unity again recently. Have done some (100-200hrs) game design balancing for an indie mmorpg in the past while I was doing customer support as well.

i wanted to make creative works in support of a group of content creators, but i found myself lacking in the typical skills for that like drawing or editing. i put too many skill points into programming and this is how i'm taking advantage of that to still make creative works (though i definitely still want to improve my drawing eventually)

#

i've tried it out a bit and i've figured that i would be able to do it if i put in the time. unfortunately i spend my free time reading docs and stuff lmao.

i forgot to put skillpoints in any other branch 💀

I have a simulation APK, and I don’t want users to keep going to the website, uninstalling, and downloading the latest version manually every time there’s an update.

I’m looking for a launcher/updater setup where the launcher opens first, checks for updates, and automatically downloads the new version if available.

What’s the best way to make something like this in Unity?

Pulled an all nighter working on a project without realizing what time it was and now I'm actually cooked 😭

I've loved games all the way at the age of 4 I played the old Lego Star wars and other old games and back when I didn't have a PC I made "video games" on a paper notebook and even made slideshow cardboard "consoles", then I used games factory as my first engine, g develop, and then unity

#

Even so Ive done countless projects but never released anything complete, however I'm almost close to releasing my first finished project that I can be proud of

#

But anyways I love games so much and I hope one day I can achieve my dream and make games full time

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for professional advice or insights from anyone who has gone through the process of developing and releasing a game.

I've taken part in a few game jams and game dev groups, and I've attempted to create my own game two or three times. One of the most important lessons I've learned is this: if you want something done on time and to your expectations, either pay someone or do it yourself.

In my case, I can't do everything on my own, so I think I need just one person to piece it all together. For this next game, I'll be financing everything out of my own pocket, and other resources will be outsourced (Other elements like music, SFX, and possibly some advanced assets will be outsourced.). My personal contributions to the game will include 3D modelling, texturing, animating, rigging, level design, and narrative design.

What I can't decide is how to go about finding someone (to handle the Unity implementation, coding and other stuff) to piece it all together. Should I save up and pay someone? Or should I offer revenue share?

I'm hesitant about revenue share because I personally wouldn't go near it, I see so many projects fail due to lack of planning or commitment. But what if I were to provide a roadmap with realistic goals, structured in a way that makes sense and is achievable? Would someone consider it then?

A bit of context on the game and my plans:

It's a horror-story game with choice-driven mechanics, similar to how the Telltale games play out. Right now, the only thing I want to achieve is a playable demo consisting of 1–2 hours of gameplay, a demo I can showcase and use as a selling point for Kickstarter or Patreon. I estimate this would take 1–2 years, factoring in my time spent on the game, personal life commitments, budget, and the other person's involvement.

Thanks for any advice! 😊

I can't answer that for you. If you're in the community, you should seek out advice from people who've used it. Where I'm from (Ontario,Canada), the grants we applied have no strings attached. It's basically just free money if you're awarded it and meet your milestone expectations.

Typically grants will have workshops, meetups that go into it some more. There's also a lot of paperwork that goes into applying for something like this. People offer their services to use their experience to fill and submit grants on your behalf too because one issue usually means just being disqualified outright.

I ran in to the same thing yesterday. I'm locked out. And the response I got from my support ticket says:

We recently rolled out a security system update. While many users may have enabled two-factor authentication (TFA) in the past, the system is now more consistently enforcing these checks on new devices and networks. If you no longer have access to your authenticator app, phone number, or recovery codes, we can help you deactivate this feature manually after verifying your identity.
and
We want to be fully transparent with you: we are currently experiencing an unusually high volume of requests related to accounts, licensing, subscriptions, and the Asset Store. Because of this, our response times are longer than usual. Currently, our team is working hard to answer tickets received around early April. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we work diligently to get to your request. A Customer Experience Advisor will review your question and respond as soon as we reach your ticket in the queue.

As Kuzmo mentioned, I would suggest first going through the projects on Unity Learn - if you already done that, then I would suggest to either improve on those basic projects (for example, with "Roll-a-Ball", maybe add a main menu, or a skin changer, or difficulty levels, or enemies that chase you with NavMesh, etc) or you can try to make isolated projects that just focus on a single thing about Unity or C# (such as structs, scriptable objects, prefabs, scenes, etc), then try to make a project that combines many of those isolated projects into one single theme, it doesnt have to be a full game, just a functional implementation - or you could try recreating classic/retro games like chess, brick breaker, pacman, flappy bird, etc - or you could try recreating a previous game jam - many options that dont have to be full projects to practice the engine, though once you are familiar with the basics, id suggest to also look into source control, code patterns and project organization, all 3 will be a huge help later on

how is vs code getting worse

worldly cave
#

not even sure if im in the clear to delete or move these

gray frigate
#

vomiting VSC-specific cache files all over the root of the repo is certainly A Choice

#

you can nuke them

#

they are cache files

worldly cave
#

gonna nuke em and add them to the gitignore

azure grove
#

or just leave them and make sure the ,gitignore ignores them

gray frigate
#

yes, i'd just .gitignore them

subtle copper
#

which versions should i get?

gray frigate
#

you can install modules later if they are needed

subtle copper
#

so for different devices?

worldly cave
subtle copper
#

like phones and computers?

gray frigate
#

i usually install Windows and Linux build support, since I'm on a Mac and want to build for all three platforms

gray frigate
#

this can be quite a bit of extra data, so they're optional

azure grove
subtle copper
#

okay and the one already selected is just for pc?

gray frigate
worldly cave
#

but i also dont want them there regardless lol

gray frigate
subtle copper
#

ok

#

abd microsoft visual studio community 2026 is only for pc?

plain dagger
#

god damn its a program

#

the others that say "x build support" do that

#

just leave it as default and continue you can change this all later

azure grove
#

you can add modules at any point from hub

gray frigate
#

Visual Studio is a code editor. The Hub can install it for you.

rn it consists of like 3 parts, the clockhand, the backgrund the clockhand is on, and the front part saying space

the only problem now is that i dont actually know to handle the acceptable "range" for where the player can press
does anyone have any suggestions for like ways to have an accurate part of the area visually match? i have a suspicion it includes rotation but i dont know how to have it match the exact range im going for

this might not be like a unity question i dunno

near wigeon
heady gorge
#

the code itself works but trying to represent it visually so the player can actually see what they're trying to hit is difficult. i'd rather the visual part be less than or equal to the correct value, than too high, since if its too high and the actual part they were supposed to click is smaller, they'll feel cheated

UI, my nemessis

umm would anyone happen to know why all of my materials look like this in the inspector? im using 2022.3.12f1 with hdrp, ive def had this issue once before but im not sure what the fix was

#

im hoping the fix wasnt switching to a beta version of unity 2022.3 but i fear it may have been which makes no sense because this versions lts 😭

LOL thank you i had no idea what to even look up

#

ohhhh hmmm inspector was called debug who wouldve thought

*in debug mode

you must have changed it and forgot

yeah def accidentally right clicked the inspector tab or smth and switched to that oopsiees

#

I have an acceptable zone and bonus skill zone

image.png
#

but yeah UI / Image set to Radial

#

I wanted to use a shader to do this but gave up halfway so yea

plain dagger
#

polar coordinates and a few blends would get you there

#

but if this functions then id just use this

near wigeon
#

yea was one of those if aint broke...just leave it, cause my brain was fried already which made me put project on hiatus lol
a simple minTargetTickRect.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -(minTargetValue * 360)); etc. did the trick so why bother

tall hearth
#

off topic (forgive me) but just learnt that unity has built in support for making repos in their hub

#

seeems to be accurate enough stepping through it so why bother lol ops should've made it change diff color in "bonus zone" also but yea

I'm still rockin 3.12 so I never noticed, only learned it through this DC. Its good I suppose for those who want to use GIT

heady gorge
#

is it checking for collision or a certain value?

near wigeon
#

Oh for the zones , UI is just visuals

#

I'm using code that checks a number within ranges, pretty basic stuff

#

the rotation bit i get, that was part of my eventual plan, but

tall hearth
heady gorge
#

but i cant really do the rotation bit until i have a bit to rotate 😭

near wigeon
#

it doesnt wrap back around tho, I basically copied uh Dead by Daylight skillcheck.
once you go past the safezone the engine you fix does the Loud Bang and you lose some progress on the generator

near wigeon
#

the logic itself is linear

#

im working with a 0-1 range cause its easy

image.png
tall hearth
heady gorge
#

i went with 360

#

cuz its a circle

near wigeon
#

but the logic isn't a circle. I made that agnostic from UI

#

this allows me to make a horizontal or vertical bar too and the logic never changes

near wigeon
heady gorge
#

the extent of my ui is that i tell the clockhand to rotate

image.png
#

(idk what else to call it)

#

the input is temp but this is how i set it to figure out what value to make "correct"

and then later on if the player is within like 20 or so of the number they get a pass

image.png
#

now in reality its 40, because im an idiot and didnt account for that if the acceptable range in both directions is 20, then in reality the player just needs to hit like one of 41 numbers

near wigeon
#

yes this is what I shown to have too but the range is just 0-1 so its easier to do other math

#

I kinda mixed them here a bit cause was lazy about it.. but technically the logic is still UI agnostic

image.png
#

(this is in a while loop btw so its running everyframe while its skillchecking)

tall hearth
#

while loops update the same rate as the Update() method in unity?

#

i always assume they held the main thread / thread they ran on till they finished

near wigeon
#

while loop in a coroutine with yeild return null at end of frame

#

so its basically the same as without a while loop every frame in update, I just prefer Coroutines in certain cases

tall hearth
near wigeon
#

I like that you can store them in an object and do interruptions etc.. its like a self-contained timer

tall hearth
#

fair, though async/await is easier for that (imo)

near wigeon
#

Coroutines are fake async but the concept is the same, the good thing about Coroutine vs async is it stays on main thread so you can call unity APIs

#

this was before Awaitable was a thing though, I might switch it if I choose to. They at least let you switch which thread in the same method so you can switch to main when making a call and switch back

#

so like

await Awaitable.BackgroundThreadAsync();
//some background shit here 
// maybe while(asdda) 
await Awaitable.MainThreadAsync();
//some Unity main thread shit like gameObject.name or LoadScene
tall hearth
#

hmm never done this, though i failed to understand JOBS when i tried last summer and have basically kept away from threads since ~_~

near wigeon
#

jobs is there to benefit from multithreading but thats a whole different thing kinda

tall hearth
near wigeon
#

async is very good when you need to offset some stuff to not block main, like heavy calculations or operations that may take a while like Internet calls

good ol Uncle Ben "with great power comes responsibility " or whatever, idk hes a dead old man

guess i could've just google'd it, but thank you

near wigeon
#

yeah it can get quite spicy, especially if you ever dealt with databases and different clients in different parts of the world

tall hearth
near wigeon
#

how you call / run it also plays a part

#

You can check which thread is on with Debug.Log($"thread id {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}"); // id of 1 means main thread

tall hearth
#

ahh that makes sense

I'm not expert on this
neither am i lol watched a 3 hour seminar on it and got bored of it 15 minutes in

near wigeon
#

just know its there and powerful to not block the CPU with heavy long awaiting tasks

tall hearth
#

fair i only used it here cause waiting 10+ minutes to run the project was getting annoying

near wigeon
#

async is a zombie, once you put 1 then you need 2 and it keeps infecting your codebase easy with async everywhere

austere sparrow
#

Guyss does anyone know what could be the reason that makes my editor rotator go crazy fast when im barely moving my mouse?

tall hearth

oddly enough async seems to continue after the runtime has stopped if the game was really laggy

@austere sparrow starting a new scene is really not a big deal. it does not affect your current scene, as long as you save your current scene and don't overwrite it. the fact that it is greyed out suggests a script may be controlling things. the fastest way to determine that, is a new scene.

austere sparrow
#

i did create a new one but it comes gray already, maybe its cus its a 2d proyect(?

crap, I've this 2FA issue going on, too.

only option, as you probably saw, is contacting Unity Support directly

yes, ticket entered. And no hope for a timely response since I'm not Pro. Ugh.

for this issue, they have been quick. locked out of accounts get priority. it seems the problem is though, the weekend break
