#📲┃ui-ux for everything UI related. You should post what version you are using as well.

[green nexus]

Ah ok, I didn't know if fonts were ui but I guess they are thinking about it

gratzi

[green nexus]

by version do you mean unity version?

[charred fog]

But this material should work fine

I mean the shader on the material

[green nexus]

yeah i've been using mostly this and it has been good, but i saw the other shader and was wondering about it

but ill move convo! ty for replying

[charred fog]

There were changes I think which allows you to modify font shaders in shader graph, I haven't explored it, so version might be relevant. But the default shader I showed you should work fine.

You should post more details and illustrate in #🤖┃ai-navigation . I think navigation uses grid up to a threshold and might switch to direct move to the target when too close, in that case you might set bigger threshold and handle from there.

or smaller rather

@dull pagoda Also don't cross-post and move all of your question copies to the correct channel.

#1180178376028327936 message voice chats are not a good way to get help in this kind of context, as they remove the core benefits of having a community server to begin with

[blazing charm]

As someone just starting out with unity would making a stylised zombie extraction game be too much as my first ever game attempt?

[charred fog]

If you mean a multiplayer one, then yes, it is too much.

[storm patio]

even as a single player game, then probably

[blazing charm]

Was gonna start single player then add multiplayer down the line once I’m at a good level with the engine

[storm patio]

there's a ton of things to learn and a ton of ways to fail while developing. make smaller games to learn and explore those failures in a smaller context so you can have an easier time with your overall goal

(those smaller games don't have to be published or anything, they just need to be vessels for your learning)

[blazing charm]

I defo agree with that and have attempted that way but with my adhd I just can’t focus and stick to one little demo game I always get the itch to enhance my ambition and do a bigger scale game

Ahahah

[charred fog]

Gamejams are a good way to practice and learn about scope.

[blazing charm]

This is true I could even split my main game up into smaller games to learn each feature in the main gMe or something

[blazing charm]

I’m literally brand brand new I doubt I’d get a game made for any comps sadly aha

I’m gonna give this a proper proper go though as I’ve always done level design like bo3 radiant making zombies maps but I’m so driven lately to make a game of my own

[storm patio]

game jams aren't competitions

[charred fog]

If you can't finish a gamejam scoped game (even with extra time) you should not be starting up larger projects.

[storm patio]

they're just an opportunity for people to practice, cooperate, learn, and maybe get ideas that can lead to bigger projects

[blazing charm]

I’ll have to have a look into that then where do I find gamejams?

[charred fog]

Unity courses would have you make a simple pratice games.

[storm patio]

some have a "competitive" aspect in that the best games are showcased, but that's an incentive, not the overall goal

[blazing charm]

Cheers!

[storm patio]

also will note that your first gamejam you will probably overscope. it'll be a good learning experience either way

[charred fog]

Just stay away from those that force you to join platforms, promote and make you use their "AI" tools, there's little curation on those sites.

[storm patio]

be prepared to fail, and treat those "failures" as learning experiences. they're inevitable, failing fast means you can learn to avoid them fast

Hey, I get such Library/Bee errors when trynna build in IL2CPP since yesterday and cant find any helpful clues in internet any ideas how to fix it? mono worked fine before

[blazing charm]

Really thanks so much for the advice and guidance it helps a tonne! Legends

[charred fog]

Try rebuilding Library folder

[vale pivot]

is it really necessary? 🥲 would take forever

[storm patio]

it's a ton of cache and module folders

[charred fog]

Yes, it usually points to the corrupted cache

[vale pivot]

well..... yea

[vale pivot]

alright 😔 will try later then

thanks

[charred fog]

If the error persists then explore its details, there could be a number of things if it's actually misconfigured.

[vale pivot]

hmmm alright

[heady gorge]

this radial thing is confusing me

🗿

its like every change i makes it worse why is slightly off center correct but smack dab middle a miss

[gray dirge]

Something wrong in the code I assume. No code, no way to know what

[plain dagger]

Yea clearly the visuals do not match the logic checking this

[heady gorge]

had a moment of madness and figured it out
my mistake was that i was rotating the skill check image, but i was failing to consider that a skill check has a range. so instead of the radial image thingy starting at the lowest permissible value and going up to the highest, it would start at the exact correct value and then go beyond the highest permissible one

how are you sorting the layers

[sand harbor]

Hi yall, is it possible to export a project with a foced aspect ratio?

[tender thicket]

thats not what was in the video

[wide hare]

wdym

[tender thicket]

your player isnt on any of those layers

[wide hare]

he is on the sorting layers tho

I dont want him to always be over or under the npc

i want him to be dynamic like

when its behind. under, and infront, over

[tender thicket]

well in that case how are you doing that right now

[wide hare]

tbh i followed a tutorial and he just said to change the transperacy to y scale instead of z scale

[wide hare]

other than that he didn't assign a sorting layer to the player

[tender thicket]

breh

[wide hare]

wait i mean

a normal layer

the player has a sorting layer

[wide hare]

here

[tender thicket]

try sorting by pivot point

[wide hare]

but like the wierd thing is, why he is over the npc only when he is looking forward

[wide hare]

what is that

[cloud pewter]

hey guys, i am new to unity and trying to install the editor Unity 6.4 (6000.4.7f1)
once i click to download, it shows failed. what do i do?

[storm patio]

make sure your sprite pivots are set correctly, and make sure the sorting axis is correct

[storm patio]

make sure you didn't open the hub as administrator or anything

[topaz island]

came back to unity 6 after a few years of hiatus to try XR development... just want to wind out saying it is unecessarily confusing and not well documented (im talking about you XR Interaction Toolkit 3.0.0+ )

[worldly quest]

Do you have enough permissions on the user / pc to create folders and files in that path ?

a mkdir failing is mostly an access issue (not enough rights to write to that drive / folder)

[cloud pewter]

i solved it. its the location issue

[worldly quest]

Honestly i think admin would actually help with a permission error, not cause it ?

[cloud pewter]

yep. thank you so much

[worldly quest]

[storm patio]

i would assume so, but as far as i've heard you just aren't supposed to run it as admin. windows can be weird sometimes

[pale coyote]

yall i need help

so i use screen space camera for my HUD however when i look down or go near an object, it disappears. how do i fix this?

normal vs when i look down or go near an object

hello anyone? help pls

[brisk hill]

Hi ! I'm very beginner to unity. How do i make the sky appear ? I checked the lightning already, so what's wrong ?

[pale coyote]

create new scene, and then select outdoors. instead of empty

watch like a tutorial or somehting

[brisk hill]

already did both

[pale coyote]

HDRP or URP?

[brisk hill]

? what ? I didn't see that

[pale coyote]

ur using URP

[gray frigate]

this would be the template you chose when creating the project

[pale coyote]

select outdoors URP

[gray frigate]

You may have the sky disabled in the Scene View. This is normally a toggle in the top right corner of the scene view.

I see you have a bunch of overlays docked at the top. You may need to expand the scene view to see everything

[gray frigate]

this is a 2022.3 screenshot, but the overlay should be very similar

[pale coyote]

i dont really work with URP much. i use HDRP alot and in HDRP i can edit skies using Volume profiles. but in URP i think u got to get a skybox texture and change the settings through the environment tab

[brisk hill]

still the same. For the toggle top right, I don't see the same thing as yours :

[gray frigate]

the problem is that the scene view is not displaying anything at all

[pale coyote]

wait i need to load in a URP project to see myself

[gray frigate]

That isn't the same dropdown window.

You've opened the Gizmos dropdown

ah, it was hard to tell from that screenshot!

[pale coyote]

first of all why is your hierarchy on the right 🥀

[gray frigate]

you're looking for this fella

The toggle itself also needs to be turned on. It should be blue.

[pale coyote]

when u load in a standard URP scene u should atleast get a sun and a blue sky

create a new project but select URP this time your probably in Built in rendering pipeline. its called universal 3D

[gray frigate]

no, their scene templates clearly included the URP scenes

[pale coyote]

yea but they also had Built in options. my URP project only shows me 4 options while he got 6 when creating a new scene

[brisk hill]

guys, I'm just a beginner :" I don't even know how to expand anything.

[gray frigate]

yours also incluides a "built-in" scene template

[brisk hill]

I swear, I'm trying to find it, I struggle

[pale coyote]

look at this. they got built in and built in 3D too

[gray frigate]

Screenshot the entire editor

I need to see what you are seeing.

make sure you don't have any windows covering things up, such as the Lighting window

[pale coyote]

its supposed to look like this

if not then click the layout dropdown at the very top right below the X. and select default

[brisk hill]

Selecting the urp scene doesn't get me to this page

[gray frigate]

ray was showing you how to create an entirely new project

which i do not think is necessary at all here

[brisk hill]

my bad, I found it. And skybox is already checked

[gray frigate]

again, please just screenshot your editor so i can see what's going on

please do it anyway

[pale coyote]

just just send ur editor. like close all extra tabs. only the editor

[pale coyote]

that is one cursed editor

[gray frigate]

This looks like a completely blank scene.

[brisk hill]

yes

I just started

[gray frigate]

Create a new scene. Use the "Outdoors (URP)" template.

[pale coyote]

even in a blank template i get this sky

[gray frigate]

I am surprised by the lack of a skybox in the empty scene, yes

this is the default color that unity uses to clear the camera

so you see it if there's literally nothing else to render

[brisk hill]

this one is with outdoors URP

[pale coyote]

ohhhhh lol

no lighting

[brisk hill]

that's my whole problem

[gray frigate]

they're in the lit shading mode, though

[pale coyote]

open this

i want to see what u got going on there

[gray frigate]

(oh, right, that wouldn't stop the game view from working, anyway)

[pale coyote]

yoo u got a 4060. anyways go to scene

like this part

[brisk hill]

ok

[pale coyote]

what the heck

atp just create a new project

[brisk hill]

🖐️ little pause. need to go bathroom

[pale coyote]

i quit

im sticking to HDRP its so much better

[gray frigate]

one question: did you create this project using the URP template, as shown by Ray here?

[pearl oyster]

Show the camera inspector. The camera is what determines if the skybox is rendered

[pale coyote]

i asked him before he said he doesnt know.

[gray frigate]

A newly created scene should have the proper camera settings, though!

that's what is weird

[pale coyote]

yea

[pearl oyster]

Well a newly created scene/project should render the skybox too

[gray frigate]

true (:

might as well confirm that things make sense

once you've ruled out the impossible...

something something, sherlock

[brisk hill]

I guess yes ? it wasn't exactly like at bottom

[gray frigate]

you didn't go into the Package Manager and install a bunch of extra stuff, then

That would have explained the weirdness (the project wouldn't be set up correctly)

[brisk hill]

don't even know how to do so sorry..

[pale coyote]

ok

[gray frigate]

Select the camera object in the Hierarchy.

[pale coyote]

lets fix on really important thing

[gray frigate]

This will show its settings in the Inspector window.

(this is how you configure objects in your scene!)

[pale coyote]

@brisk hill listen. at the very top right u should see this. click layout and select default. as shown in the images

[brisk hill]

I didn't

[pale coyote]

then ill explain everything step by step. because currently ur editor is messed up

[brisk hill]

ok

[pale coyote]

that little bar on the left is called the hierarchy

you can see every object in ur project here.

[brisk hill]

i'm catching

[pale coyote]

when u select something like for example i select my camera, you should see its properties on the right.

the bar on the right is called the inspector

u may not see the stuff im seeing in the inspector cuz im using an already well developed project.

and this thing at the bottom is your project window where you can see all the files in the entire project

[gray frigate]

(you can't see any objects in the hierarchy right now because the scene is folded up, btw)

[pale coyote]

key is that the hierarchy only shows all the objects currently only in the current scene while the project window shows ALL files in the ENTIRE PROJECT

heres what it looks like

and the area where u see ur project is called the scene view.

this

thats it. now u understand the terms so now u will be understanding what we will be asking you to do

i gtg so maybe someone else like @gray frigate can continue

[gray frigate]

i'm very suspicious of how this asset is sitting out in the Assets folder

I also noticed that you have an option for the 2D Renderer in your scene template list

I wonder if your project is set up to do 2D rendering, which would, naturally, explain why 3D rendering is borked

[gray frigate]

(this should be inside of a Settings folder by default. it's used to configure how Unity renders your scene)

[brisk hill]

Don't I just have to unclick it ?

[gray frigate]

click what?

if you mean this toggle – no, this just puts the scene view into a 2D viewing mode

it doesn't affect how the scene actually renders

[brisk hill]

oh, ok..

[gray frigate]

I see your also have an XR folder, which means you've installed packages used for VR

Are you intending to do that?

[brisk hill]

thanks anyway, see ya

[brisk hill]

yes yes

[gray frigate]

starting with VR as your very first project is going to be quite a challenge

[pale coyote]

what headset?

[gray frigate]

i would strongly suggest using something like Unity Learn to figure out how to use the editor first

!learn

[gray frigate]

if you don't know what an inspector is, you're going to have a miserable time trying to figure everything out on your own

I did, personally, learn Unity by just Doing It™, but I also had a ton of programming background

[pale coyote]

basically, what hes saying is that u gotta learn to stand up properly before trying to run an entire marathon

[gray frigate]

I do believe this is the problem

which suggests you've been clicking random buttons 😛

[pale coyote]

open up an high definition rendering pipeline project (ur laptop can handle it well) or an universal 3D project

[brisk hill]

🤨 mmm... idk, because I was actually following a tutorial for VR in unity, for beginner

[gray frigate]

what tutorial were you following?

[pale coyote]

u dont gotta learn everything to start VR. u just gotta familiarize yourself with the editor

and whatever you do, DO NOT USE AI unless u absolutely need it

i tried learning with AI and it was such a pain in the ah

i ended up reading the unity documentary and learn

[brisk hill]

gosh... it was some days ago.. I took time to find this salon, so I need to find the tutorial again

[pale coyote]

bye yall

[brisk hill]

okay. even with the coding ?

[pale coyote]

btw someone pls help me too. i need help too in thiss

[pale coyote]

i mean with scripts and all. AI is fine

because it can be time consuming to learn so using AI is ok but dont depend on it.

once you get used to the editor, you can easily create scenes like mine under 15 minutes :). its actually really easy once u understand stuff.

[gray frigate]

this can be fixed with a very small tweak to the TextMeshPro shader. By default, it turns on ZTest (thus preventing it from rendering behind walls) when in a "Screen Space - Camera" canvas. You can tell it to never do this.

I don't see any other way of disabling the depth test

[pale coyote]

will try this

[gray frigate]

I would suggest making a copy of whatever shader the TMP material is using, then switching the material to use that new shader

notably, the shaders are placed in Assets/TextMesh Pro/Shaders

so you can freely edit them

[brisk hill]

any suggestion to ckeck on that ;; ?

[pale coyote]

also any feedback on the lil GUI i made? i want them to look like battlefield 2048 HUD.

[fiery maple]

I have been working on this Dialogue Node system for an asset that I plan to release, I'd love to have some feedback!

[violet valley]

Man... I'm a total nub in Unity, trying to learn and watching tutorials and what not. But can anyone tell me if there is an easy way of just creating a slope with just the latest version of Unity? When I google about how to create a slope I get results about downloading extra tools or doing vscripting... I just want to manipulate 2 vertex on a cube, and I can't find how. XD

[gray dirge]

Unity is not a modelling tool, more so an tool that brings models together and assigns logic to them. ProBuilder is one way to do some basic modellig in Unity though. Could also make a default unity box (flatten it a bunch in one dimension) or plane and tilt it.

[violet valley]

Damn. But even if it's not a modelling tool; I would have assumed I could place a simple slope by editing a cube. It has cilinders before slopes? >_<

For a Platformer Game with Slopes, how do you design them in unity? Or you do the whole level outside of unity? Or do I just rotate cubes and place them inside other parts of the terrains? Seems a bit weird not to have that very basic option.

[gray dirge]

Colliders are very crucial part of game physics. There are a ton of modelling tools out there, free ones too. Unity is not a modelling software and likely will never plan to do any of that either

But again you can use ProBuilder, it allows some basic modelling like that

[violet valley]

Any problems/troubles I can encounter/generate by using ProBuilder? Just opened Unity today; I'm assuming it's just like downloading a mod/addon to get extra functions? Do they usually work fine?

Just out of curiosity; if I just wanted to make a very simple (for testing purposes) slope for a platformer-like-game; I do not have any slope tool? Should I use a rotated cube/plane? I may be approaching the whole tool wrong; not sure.

[gray dirge]

I don't know anything particular, it's a tool made by unity so probably works fine.

[stiff quest]

its a package you can install it from package manager

[gray dirge]

The workflow is generally like this, for prototyping and blocking out rough shapes -> use ProBuilder. For modelling the actual game world, use a 3D modelling too like Blender and import the models into Unity. Often it is done one model at a time, model them somewhere else and then place them in Unity (move, rotate, duplicate). You can also import a massive model but I have seen it more done by having separate models

Unity is a fine tool for composing the game world, not for modelling complicated 3D shapes.

[violet valley]

While I presumed the need of using Blender for complex models; I gotta admit it surprised me (a lot) to not have some form of basic shape manipulation in Unity to make slopes or trapezoids or the likes. And a simple slope is not what I would call "complicated 3D shap"; I have spheres and cilinders by default, which are more complex imo. XD

Thanks a bunch for the input. I may try to look at the ProBuilder thing; see if I learn how to install a package.

[pearl oyster]

well Probuilder is the basic shape manipulation tool

[stiff quest]

Top bar > Windows > Package manager > Change Packages (C in the screenshot) to Unity Registry then search for probuilder

[terse rose]

Is there a good way to raycast into a non-convex mesh which is attached to a rigidbody but is not involved with physics? I have a complicated vehicle damage mesh attached to my objects which are raycasted upon, and they're non-convex but they have all collisions disabled, so they are not involved with physics. My raycasts will hit them if they are a seperate object but once they're under the rigidbody in the heirarchy raycasts will no longer hit them. My current solution is to just update the position of the complex collision mesh every frame to match the position of the physics object, which works but is a bit silly so I'm wondering if there's a better way

The best way of course would be to cut all of my concave hulls into convex ones, but that isn't super duper practical here

[gray frigate]

yeah, you don't want the colliders to be considered by the rigidbody at all

[terse rose]

As far as I can tell though, rigidbodies will take ownership of all colliders within their hierarchy. I have to test this again but if I remember correctly even having a kinematic rigidbody childed to the physics one, with all of the complex colliders childed to that didn't work either. It wants them to be owned by no physics object i guess. Updating the position works, I just hate it organizationally.

[gray frigate]

It's a bit gross, yeah

[hard tiger]

Hey guys, I've been trying to export sprite animations into blender. I watched a tutorial that was showing me to do it through an FBX add-on in unity but they dont appear at all in blender. Im a video editor for the most part so this is very much out of my ballpark. Just wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction

[gray frigate]

i'm not sure how you'd get sprites out of an FBX file!

oh wait, exporting into blender?

[hard tiger]

yesyes

Im trying to get game sprite animations out of unity into blender so they're easier to import into after effects

its a big line of bs 😭

[strong lily]

isnt there like a -> arrow, next to the .fbx file in unity, to expand to see animations clips? copy those? .. not sure tho, cant remember what i did with a a . file, if it was fbx or not :S

dont got time to open unity at the moment.

[hard tiger]

Im pretty sure thats just for the .anim files

[strong lily]

gotcha.

[hard tiger]

Yea I dove into something I have no experience in thinking it'd be easy and now this is my third day tryna crack it xd

[gray frigate]

this lists all of the sub-assets that unity imported

[gray frigate]

yeah, i have no clue how you'd do this

(and I massively abuse Blender all the time)

it's my go-to for creating icons 😭

Unity Sprites are basically just:

• a reference to a texture
• a position in the texture
• a size

A sprite animation sets which sprite that a SpriteRenderer is using

[hard tiger]

okayokay that makes more sense

would you possibly know another app that I could render the sprite animations in?

[gray frigate]

do you have a sprite sheet with a uniform grid layout?

if so, it should be reasonably easy to use that in After Effects

[strong lily]

just by going off ur first question, i was able to get a random ai free chat, to explain in details what u need to do in unity then to blender then back to unity.

yea sure its ai chat.. but hey.. ai chat can help with little things like this, all depends how much informatuon u give it.

i use it for errors i dont understand or cant find on google / reddit / github etc.

or i use it to understand unity engine more so i can learn what else i could be missing, which is always something new.

[hard tiger]

yea it has a uniform grid layout in the .anim file im p sure

[gray frigate]

in the texture itself, you mean?

[hard tiger]

yea, sorry this isnt my forte xd

[gray frigate]

the .anim file just tells you which sprite to use at which time

[strong lily]

yep

[hard tiger]

okayokay, so are you suggesting keyframing the individual sprites and getting the fps right on them?

[gray frigate]

you should figure out how to use the sprite sheet directly in After Effects

[hard tiger]

I found an add-on for it on AE, gunna have to choke up $5 but it'd be worth it to stop stressing lol

[gray frigate]

my first thought would be to use expressions – you should be able to zoom and offset the sprite sheet to display a single sprite

not sure about how you'd crop it though

I used to do a fair bit of funny stuff in After Effects, but it's been a few years

[brisk anvil]

Just found out they upgraded the depth debugger, auto snapp to the top right and smoother,
Awesome!!!

Playing with depth is much easier now

[plain dagger]

who is they?

[brisk anvil]

whoever worked on the Unity 6 version that simplified the tool

[plain dagger]

Is this a urp/hdrp debug view or from the frame debugger? i dont really know where this is 😐

[brisk anvil]

used to be there, it was moved now to the window, analysys, rendering debugger -> go to the rendering tab and change map overlays to Depth
There are a bunch of new tools there as well on that same window

the first option

[plain dagger]

right as i thought

both urp and hdrp have these render debug options in some form

[tame sparrow]

Hello guys. I'm a beginner in Unity and I'm trying to develop a simple AR. Well, here I want to ask how to add AR maker information in Unity but the button content displays the information. AR is scanned > click the information button > the information description of the marker appears. Can anyone help me provide a tutorial?🥹💗

[hard tiger]

thats valid, I used AE and Premier Pro for my work. Though the addon I found renders the whole sprite sheet for me

[vale pivot]

and just like that, we'll wait

[plain dagger]

URP can go fucking crazy with variants, NEVER disable variant stripping

[vale pivot]

well 😔 had to temporarily disable for sum special shader packages

[plain dagger]

thats why this isnt done after 4 hours. use variant collections and force includes to fix the issue instead

[vale pivot]

uhh can you elaborate? wdym

[plain dagger]

If the issue you actually have is that some shader is missing variants in a build then the real solution is to use shader variant collections or the "always include shaders" list

disabling stripping for everything = bad times

[copper gust]

Honestly that's going pretty fast

[vale pivot]

ahhh i see, makes sense

and i do it in the graphics settings orrrrr?

[vale pivot]

almost 6 hours for nothing GGs

[tough leaf]

@tight sorrel

[gray frigate]

that's an interesting failure

fortunately, all of the compiled shader variants should be retained

[vale pivot]

tried building again

my pc froze 💀 unresponsive

cant tell me intel i7 14th gen and 64gb ram isnt enough for ts

restarted pc, tried building again, and this... cmon why cant i succeed in a single build since 2 days already

[latent meadow]

i think it was already suggested that you configure it to compile only variants you actually need. start there. but it looks like googling is required. maybe those errors are known. maybe they are only in the latest version? IDK. google might.

also, building along the way is always a good idea. this breaks this 2 day build into smaller cached sections, basically

[vale pivot]

Yea ofc i googled, didnt find anything useful yet tho

Maybe im gonna update to latest Unity lts Version

[gray frigate]

you should not need to do any explicit configuration here

the URP Lit shader just has a ton of keywords

[gray frigate]

these are very weird errors

it's mixing up asset types, it looks like

i would consider doing Assets > Reimport All

this will force unity to reimport all of your assets

corruption in the Library (which contains imported assets, amongst other stuff) can cause very strange behaviors

[vale pivot]

But i deleted library folder before that completely

And obj and Logs folders

[vale pivot]

But i'll try that tomorrow thanks

[mortal apex]

Could someone help me diagnose this issue
For some reason when running the build of my project this occurs, the taskbar icon for it shows the project being repeatedly close and opened with the window for the project sometimes flickering when it occurs, It seemingly occurs at random and I can't figure out the cause

[gray frigate]

"obj"?

[copper gust]

thats a folder

[gray frigate]

right, but i don't recognize the name

i'm wondering what exactly got deleted now :p

[copper gust]

its cache stuff

safe to kill iirc

[gray frigate]

oh, I see it

I'd never given that any mind

[frigid saffron]

Why there isn't serializefield in unity 6.4?

[storm patio]

there is

[fading wind]

Does anyone know how to add a fog plane that will work in WebGL build? My approach was to create a plane and add material to it with an URP/Particles/Unlit shader, where I've changed Surface Type to Transparent and set Soft Particles as enabled. Sadly it doesn't work. I've read that WebGL builds don't like soft particles... is that the reason?

[plain dagger]

Can be done similarly with a shader that uses the depth buffer. ask more in #1391720450752516147

[frigid saffron]

Why it didn't appear on my visual studio?

[near wigeon]

probably because your visual studio isn't properly configured

[storm patio]

are you getting suggestions for anything else?

[fathom nest]

Dawg who tf approves these presets with all these errors in them?

[storm patio]

does it persist after library reset?

[fathom nest]

I dunno even what that is. Im like baby's first project in terms of coding rn

[storm patio]

close the project, delete the Library folder, reopen the project, wait for the library to be rebuilt

[fathom nest]

I just downloaded the multiplayer fps preset Unity offers and I get bopped with 186 errors ;-;

[storm patio]

this is an internal error from a package, so resetting the library would have the package be redownloaded and recompiled, basically a "retry" button for this case

[copper gust]

Not to be a debby downer but anything multiplayer is going to be horrible for babys first project regardless of these dumb errors

[graceful pagoda]

Does any1 have any good ways to create roads that are free? Or any good tutorials. Thanks

[fathom nest]

Yeah. First time I did this there were way more errors and corrupted assets. Like bro, how you let this happen?

[storm patio]

don't crosspost please

[copper gust]

no i mean in the sense of multiplayer is way to complex for anyone new to programming

[fathom nest]

Where is the reset library option?

[copper gust]

you'd be deleting the folder in file explorer

[fathom nest]

Oh. Wouldnt I just be better off reinstalling the whole project then?

[copper gust]

nah

library is just like, cache

it regenerates if you delete it

[fathom nest]

Lemme switch to help channel so I dont break the rules

[frigid saffron]

I think that yeah
I downloaded it yesterday
Do you have video or something about how I do that?

[fathom nest]

Which one is the help channel?

is this the error causing my issues? I dont see another channel for help

[copper gust]

This is the help channel for general stuff, Its just poorly named

[fathom nest]

ah okay

But is that the error? Cuz I dunno how to fix it

Bro there isnt even a .tmp for me to rename. SO what is it saying?

[latent meadow]

it is not a question that has a single answer. your best bet is to google the error, if restarting the computer and following the install isntructions did not change anything

[fathom nest]

Well either way something worked. But its all empty. Its not even a preset 🙏 🥀

i have to ask where does the excess time go, when using the Deep profiler, i'll have a function say it takes 44ms then every other call inside take a sum of ~half that

[latent meadow]

i do not know, but there is an official Ebook that might help
https://unity.com/resources/ultimate-guide-to-profiling-unity-games-unity-6

[gray frigate]

The difference is the time spent in the function itself (outside of any other profiler marker)

Deep Profile is like adding a profiler marker around every function call

[primal elk]

I'm so sorry, I didn't know that rule

[gray frigate]

I'm unsure if the "self" time includes time spent handling profiler markers

[tall hearth]

whoever they got on qa must be slacking, why's the doc 1/4th the size of the screen 😭

[gray frigate]

that gets extremely expensive with Deep Profile on

[tall hearth]

oh ok this makes sense the function itself is quite expensive

[gray frigate]

you do have markers for the Unity Mathematics functions

but I bet you're not seeing anything for stuff like float addition

Adding your own profiler markers can be really helpful here

(and less agonizingly slow!)

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Unity.Profiling.ProfilerMarker.html

this lets you construct a ProfilerMarker once and then use it many times

which is more efficient than constantly calling Profiler.BeginSample

if it's topdown what's the point in a background?

could just use a particle system / visual effects graph to make stars

and have them be there in physical space

an example of this is sorta like the no man's sky loading screen i doubt they use a particle engine (and probably something closer to ECS, not that it's running on unity) but the point is there you fly past physical stars instead of a static background

Hello all, may I humbly ask where is a good place to get sound effects for my game? I am quite new to this. I need a footstep sound and a wind sound currently. I'm sure this is asked all the time and do apologize for the naivety. Also the "audio" thread doesnt seem to be very active which is why I thought to post here. Forgive me if that isnt allowed

see above. also, people do not sit in a room and announce every 15 minutes 'i am here, go ahead and ask!', they respond When people ask questions. the audio room is for more detailed questions, so asking here was fine in this case, but proper use of the rooms is required as needed, regardless of perception of traffic.

Hi guys, I have a quality of life-related question:

Is there a way in editor to move a pivot of an object without moving its children as well?

Asking so I can clean up some of my scene hierarchy a little, since some of my parent objects have carelessly set positions. I know moving the parent will move the children obviously, but I wonder if there's a way to automatically add an offset to the children, so their world position remains the same as you move the parent.

If Unity cannot do it on its own, a plugin would be OK, too. Thank you!

[charred fog]

Place another container object and move children under it.

[gray frigate]

yeah, that's the best option

You could absolutely write an editor script for this

my scene has 3m faces and 4m verts in one frame, how is it possible if my biggest object doesn't even go over 20k faces? even repeated medium objects on my scene have 100k faces in total, how do I find the culprit?

[copper gust]

disable half your hierarchy, see if theres a lot left, if there is, disable half of the remaining active hierarchy etc.

stuff can add up faster than you'd expect

[hidden panther]

oh yeaa I'll do that, thanks

damnn one object has 2m faces LMAO

thank you for the suggestion @copper gust

[vagrant bramble]

Good hitbox?

[gray frigate]

If it's a hitbox for players to shoot at, then I'd expect it to cover the entire body!

(also, you've got left and right mixed up)

The red arrow points in the +X direction, which is right in Unity

[vagrant bramble]

It's single player

And the left/right texture is meaningless, I realized I mixed them up, it's just to distinguish the sides of the rig

[gray frigate]

yeah, just thought i'd mention it

[gray frigate]

What is the hitbox used for?

[vagrant bramble]

Physics

[gray frigate]

i see there is also a sphere collider

[vagrant bramble]

The top one has to have 0 friction so you can't cling to walls

The bottom one is for slopes and has friction

[untold breach]

What's the generally recommanded clean method of storing level/room/data files in the project?

In such way that I can export the file, send it to someone and that person can load it in another instance of the game

or just modify it externally

[gray frigate]

That makes sense. I haven't seen that setup before, but it seems reasonable.

I'd only be concerned about getting stuck on thin ledges

[vagrant bramble]

I didn't go by any setups, the whole rig is custom

[gray frigate]

maybe the sphere collider should overlap with the box

or you could use a capsule collider that overlaps with the sphere collider at the feet

(although, you wouldn't be able to have a seamless transition without the capsule collider overlapping with the sphere collider on the bottom)

[vagrant bramble]

What's the difference between capsule and sphere here

[gray frigate]

they're both primitive collider shapes

a capsule is two spheres joined together by a cylinder

capsules are very commonly used for character colliders

they lack sharp corners and approximate the shape of a humanoid character well

[vagrant bramble]

Do I have the wrong unity

That big one is the capsule

It's just a sphere

[gray frigate]

Reduce the radius of the capsule

A capsule with a sufficiently large radius winds up as a sphere

[vagrant bramble]

It just makes it smaller

[gray frigate]

Increase the height as well

if the height is less than twice the radius, the two spheres don't get separated at all

[vagrant bramble]

Oh yeah that works

[gray frigate]

you will need to rotate it, of course

[vagrant bramble]

I did

Is there a way to make it wide

[gray frigate]

You can't deform it, no

[gray frigate]

keeping it radially symmetric is generally good: you won't bump into the environment by turning in place

[vagrant bramble]

Bumping by turning is realistic though

[worldly cave]

realism isnt always good

[gray frigate]

it can be very annoying :p

you can also stub your toe and fall down the stairs in real life..

Hey guys so I downloaded a model glb from internet and made it fbx in blender... but it unity it did not texture right... then I downloaded a fbx but again it did not texture it right, and the button extract textures is disabled.. i can only export materials and it does not work help

[rancid zenith]

how do i fix my flashlight to be wider closer to the player but not change the rang?

[fair cove]

If a model is not texturing correctly, its likely that either the UVs for that model was never setup correctly (or at all, depending on how it was made) or a setting on the materials your using in Unity (such as a UV offset) - the buttons for "extract textures" and "extract materials" are only clickable when the FBX file itself actually has textures/materials baked into its metadata, Unity reads that to pull them out and import them into your project - if those buttons are not clickable, its likely the file was not exported with textures

Usually ill just make a new material in Unity, find the texture online in 1024 or 2048 (depending on the level of detail I need), and then attach it as a albedo to a render-pipeline default "Lit" shader, attach that material to the "Materials" tab and apply it that way, you could even make a simple editor tool to do this automatically if you already have the textures in your project and they follow some kind of naming convention

[gritty topaz]

is there a way to make a 2d sprite have an actual glowing outline like in 3d?

[fervent epoch]

thanks, I'll try that

[wise yacht]

I'm running my game (in a menu scene), and pressing a button. This button uses SceneManager.LoadScene to go into a new scene. This new scene has a NetworkManager component in it ONLY, which I don't call any functions on. As soon as the scene is loaded, the NetworkManager is destroyed. It's not put into DDOL or anything like that, it just vanishes.

Weirdly as well, if I start the game directly from that scene, then the network manager isn't destroyed and its fine

This means in the next scenes, that any network objects in those scenes are left unspawned too

[silent mica]

Do you have another NetworkManager in your menu scene? NetworkManager is probably seeing an existing NetworkManager and destroying itself. You could check the code to confirm.

[wise yacht]

I will check

No other Network Manager, which is really confusing lol - it turns out that NetworkManager.Singleton and all that is initialised but the network manager itself isn't in the DDOL... but everything still works

Weirdly enough, my whole DDOL seems to clear when switching network scenes now... it didn't use to before

That's some truly bizarre way to implement text rendering. Surely bitmaps, bezier outline fonts or SDFs would be better in so many ways

[undone monolith]

why are all the learn resources in the hub in another language lol

[stuck flower]

Pretty sure it's based on system locale

[maiden flax]

Guys I always wondered

Does implementing a polished character movement system require linear algebra and vector algebra and lot of math

The one is used with rb.add force works for most part but is kinda whack doesn't work like gta v or Fortnite how to achieve that level of smoothness

[storm patio]

well it's gonna require some understanding of vector math, probably not gonna be super deep though

[maiden flax]

Kk I guess they use some curves type to change the speed

Instead of direct change when using opposite input

Is there any way I can learn this stuff all tutorial only teach basic rb.addforce

[storm patio]

it'll be more about knowing about ideas that work and feel nice (in an abstract way) rather than the specific code methods

[tall hearth]

Odd that it would choose 3 different languages at the same time though

[pine mountain]

I need to decide between using unity and gamemaker for an upcoming coursework project for school :/ i know i just want to make a simple 2d game but i wont have too long to learn my ways around but i still will put time into learning it. my only concern is having to deal with GML could be a pain as i already know C# (basic level) and unity is just a slightly different syntax so its not much harder than reading up on some documentation

[pearl oyster]

If you just want to pass the course then pick Gamemaker. If you want to continue with gamedev later then Unity

[pine mountain]

would you recommend any sources for learning scripting and using unity other than the documentation and tutorial materials available? or are they enough for begginer stuff

Anyone know why my project gets 'corrupted' every other day and needs to rebuild the library?

Is this a common thing?

I always shut it down normally long before shutting off my pc

[storm patio]

could you clarify what you mean by "corrupted"

[void patrol]

i am most certain the reason is more tilted towards no body ever opening that channel but okay

[storm patio]

there were messages today.

if there were people able and willing to answer, they'd be there.

[rancid lake]

Can't remember the exact error but it complains something was wrong with the libraries and they need to be rebuilt

[void patrol]

ok

[storm patio]

well we'd need a bit more info than that

[rancid lake]

And then proceeds to rebuild the all the libraries folder (same as if you deleted them)

[storm patio]

including like, what scene you had open?

[rancid lake]

What do ya mean by the scene?

[stuck flower]

Refusing to post in the correct channel doesn't make that channel more active.

[storm patio]

i mean the scene

you have one open at all times

the info of "what scene is open" is stored in the library

[rancid lake]

Oh no this is before the project opens

[storm patio]

yes, do you have to re-open your scene as well

[rancid lake]

I click on it in the unity hub, it gives an error that there was something wrong with the libraries and it needs to rebuild them

Then I sit at this splash for 30-45 min

[rancid lake]

Oh, just the 'Main' scene

[storm patio]

that's not what i asked

do you have to re-open your scene or does it open the scene automatically for you

[rancid lake]

Oh I see, like if it's completely wiping the library folder

I believe everything stays the same, so it is actually just 'fixing' it

[storm patio]

riiight not how that works

[rancid lake]

but I don't know why it happens so often when I'm not touching anything besides scene/prefab/scripts

I'm giving you the info I have dude, not trying to tell you how it works

[storm patio]

if you still have the scene open then yeah the library isn't being reset, maybe just the package cache that's being reinstalled

[rancid lake]

Looks like it just reimports the entire asset folder

[storm patio]

what's the error message you get?

[rancid lake]

Don't remember, I tried exiting and re-opening but it just continues from here #💻┃unity-talk message

But it's something saying it wasn't able to load the libraries and it needs to rebuild them

I'll take a screenshot next time

Can't really find the error online so im guessing it really isn't that common lol

[storm patio]

if the error message is vague, you could also check logs for hopefully more info

I moved back over from unreal engine about a month or so, and it's been happening every since.. so I want to say always 😛

But basically a month or two tops

[storm patio]

i shoudlve been clearer

i mean, has it always happened with this unity project

[rancid lake]

Oh, yes.

[storm patio]

and does it happen with other projects?

[rancid lake]

Well that's what I meant, my last unity projects were years ago and I never had the issue. Then coming back a few months ago and this problem is constant

In Unity 6.3 now with a shitload of plugins

So I'm almost certain one of em is causing it

[storm patio]

could start bisecting, yeah

[rancid lake]

just don't see how it could cause this big asset reset so randomly

Especially since logs show all successful startup routines, and then boom -reimport the entire asset directory lol

I guess no point speculating right now, I'll screenshot the error next time and check logs before closing the error box

Thanks for the info thus far though! 🙂

[celest cradle]

anyone have problem with unity sign in? I have never setup any TFA, but now it showed my account is protected by two-factor auth. And I haven't received any auth code in my phone, and I don't have any recovery codes. What should I do omg

[storm patio]

contact unity support, probably. it's an issue that's been going around

[celest cradle]

thank you, they're trying to kick users out of their engine 😂

[rose flicker]

Guys if I don't feel like continuing a prototype, could that mean laziness?

I was making a fighting prototype, but I dont feel like continuing it

So I am now thinking about a horror game

Is this a bad behavior for a developer?

[stiff quest]

means different things like prototype was boring, you are lazy or you rushing game to be good which becomes bad or working on that game everytime without break makes it boring to work on it etc

[rose flicker]

I think I should take a break and focus on my games when im working

I was getting tired of the prototype

So I think your opinion is true

[stiff quest]

yep thats what i also do when i develop a project playing it to test hundred times without break it becomes really boring to develop

[rose flicker]

I rushed my prototype to be good

I will make something simple

I think

I wont care if it is trash

[stiff quest]

making good games takes time

[rose flicker]

because else I will get bored again

[rose flicker]

a lot of time

and tries

I will make something simple

Is that how I dont get overwhelmed?

[potent geyser]

The issue is your lack of discipline, and your reliance on motivation to keep you progressing.

But the reality of it is, unless you're doing this for a living, you're free to quit and start new shiney ideas whenever you want.

[rose flicker]

That is true

Tho

How do I improve my discipline?

Do I like do this everyday?

[potent geyser]

Your likelihood to ever complete something shrinks each time though.

Yep

Do something small each day when motivation is low.

[rose flicker]

okey

[rose flicker]

hmm, I was doing whole features each day

No wonder

[potent geyser]

Do the easy, fun things that make the progress look big when the motivation is low.

Do the boring, behind the scenes things when motivation is high.

[rose flicker]

Thanks Osteel, my lack of discipline seems the problem. Tho I will quit the current prototype and make another.
Question: I am now inspired by a game, would it be bad to copy some things from it?

Like I found a simple game I like

[potent geyser]

Only if you're infringing on the IP

[rose flicker]

No not like that, I mean the features and stuff

Im gonna code my own version

from 0

[potent geyser]

No it's not bad. Every game copies another game.

[rose flicker]

Kinda true, it copied Lethal Company now I will copy it

Thanks Osteel

I will now leave

[tall hearth]

[karmic spire]

Well it is a 12 week course and I wouldnt want to do it if it was no good and youtube tutorials would be better?

[storm patio]

[storm patio]

[karmic spire]

I guess? I was asking to see if anyone has done it and actually recomends it lol

[tall hearth]

i feel like actual projects are a better testament to skill but yeah i guess, wouldn't know dont have a job in game dev to say for certain

[valid bear]

@mellow mica hello

I worried.

[wary creek]

If you want tangible certificates and you live in Europe, you may want to look into the Game Badges program. It's a new initiative and looks pretty good for game dev purposes

Basically the process is that you collect badges from different disciplines like programming, audio design, etc.

There's a clearly outlined submission process for each badge

[copper gust]

Though note unless you have like very specific reasons to get these certs, they are just for you

jobs won't care about them

[wary creek]

Well "tangible" is a strong word choice, definitely at least for now, since like i said it is still an early project

But right now it's cool for if you're looking for projects to do and getting feedback on them

[fervent epoch]

[proud dew]

grass is eating my fps in hdrp what to do??????????????

[worldly cave]

well it depends on how you are implementing "grass"

[sweet totem]

I have a question about character names that I cant figure it out.
If I need to have the naming validation for users, as in: when creating a character and then to name it, the game to check if the name Bob is already taken and if so to be prompted to rename it. Classic.
I can't find a Unity solution for this, could someone help me out please?

[copper gust]

This isn't really unity specific

What programming wise are you missing in your skillset to solve this problem

logically

[sweet totem]

well, I understand that I should be using a database for validation, I was thinking about firebase, but I wanted to be all features from Unity.

[storm patio]

unity is a game engine

[potent geyser]

Where are the list of existing names stored? Is this a single player game? Something for a lobby based/matchmaking game? Something for an online game?

[sweet totem]

single player, with matchmaking.
At the moment the only names used are the Account names generated via Unity Anonymous

[potent geyser]

So you want unique names across all players in your game, not just those you're matchmaking with (ie, you're not joining a lobby and then creating a name each time)

[proud dew]

i used same grass mesh two times, one with density 1 and other to give dense look with density 2, height 1.5, width 1.5 and removed shadows in lighting, fps is not moving above 58..

[copper gust]

how many grass meshes

[worldly cave]

how many tris per mesh

what kind of shader are you using?

[copper gust]

are these individual game objects?

[sweet totem]

correct. Names for characters, when creating the character at the beggining of the game.

[worldly cave]

sounds to me like its just 2 large meshes of grass 🤨

unless i missunderstood what they meant by "used same grass mesh two times"

[potent geyser]

Well, you're going to have to start with an actual account creation flow. Then however you accomplish that (large) task, you should easily be able to query the chosen name against the existing database of names.

[storm patio]

so you would need some kind of database that you could check against, with a unique constraint on usernames

you can't do this with unity, the game engine. you might be able to do this utilizing unity services, if they have services for that

[potent geyser]

But you're not going to be able to do it all within Unity, no.

[sweet totem]

ok, so just to verify, there is no service to allow this within Unity Gaming Services, right?

[storm patio]

not what i said, i have no idea what services unity (company) has

i'm saying this is not something that unity (game engine) does

[proud dew]

its shader Graphs/ terrain grass

[worldly cave]

okay how many meshes are you using

and how detailed are they

[proud dew]

two prefabs

[worldly cave]

ok cool, theres still 1 question youre kinda avoiding answering here

and i cant tell you much until you do

how detailed are the meshes.

[glacial anchor]

Ok Ty

[sweet totem]

thank you

[copper gust]

how many of them are you using

[worldly cave]

and how many instances of this mesh?

im stupid the tris count is right there... 1k

still the amount of instances matter a lot... but i can tell you right now, 1k tris for a singular grass mesh you are probably duplicating many times over is already a sign of bad times here lol

[proud dew]

actually its a mesh with 128 tris i duplicated them and made a prefab

[stuck flower]

That's a lot of triangles for a grass mesh. I think mine are like, twelve vertices

If this is something used as a terrain detail prefab, it should be significantly simpler, you'll have thousands of these

[worldly cave]

your screenshot says otherwise

also its killing me that you are avoiding answering basic questions 😩

how many of these individual meshes is there in your scene

[proud dew]

twoo

[worldly cave]

2 meshes?

theres only 2 of these grass meshes in your entire scene?

[proud dew]

no

[worldly cave]

then answer the question man....

how many of these individual meshes are in the scene... how many unique instances of them are there

[stuck flower]

So, if the answer isn't two, why did you say two?

[worldly cave]

this entire conversation could have been finished in a minute if a certain party just answered the questions asked without waiting 15 minutes between each question 🫩

its been 40 minutes already

[proud dew]

i painted them in some areas

[worldly cave]

i think im done

im not going to help you if you keep waiting 20 minutes to reply to every question, only to not actually reply with anything of value

i leave you with this wisdom, at 1k tris a piece almost any large amount of this mesh without any major culling or optimization will lower your fps

[stuck flower]

Okay, so that's quite a bit more than two

[worldly cave]

good luck

[stuck flower]

So, why do you keep saying two

1k triangles is way too much for something you repeat this much

Like, multiple orders of magnitude too much

[pure arrow]

1K tris for a single grass piece?

[proud dew]

is this the reason my fps is not jumping above 58

[worldly cave]

this is preposterous

this is what you have been told already, why are you acting surprised now

[valid bear]

I got this error, I need try deepseek or ChatGPT and Gemini. I fix it.

[proud dew]

I'm trying to understand the reason

[pure arrow]

Well... For starters... Maybe don't use 1K tris mesh for grass, which you will probably have hundreds of instances of in your scene

[worldly cave]

the reason has been explained to you

5 times already

[copper gust]

kinda

[stuck flower]

1000 is big number
Many grass with big number means very big number

[copper gust]

we aren't going to really get to this point in this convo but tbh in hdrp if your doing prefab'd grass your already running into problems

[pure arrow]

yup

[gray frigate]

grass is usually just a quad with a texture on it

i guess there's some debate about the relative cost of more triangles (to model the grass directly) vs. a texture sample

[stuck flower]

If you're really fancy, sometimes two quads in an X-shape

[pure arrow]

Using directly modeled grass over just few quads with a cheap texture, especially when using prefabed grass is quite a stupid move ||fork found in kitchen||

[worldly cave]

i dont think that phrase means what you think it means

[pure arrow]

probably not

[ripe sphinx]

i have some icons in a panel

in 2d mode, on hover over, there's a bit of sway with the icons

and it's working fine

in 3d mode / vr mode, a copy of the panel with the same settings, the sway is so so excessive that the icons fly off the screen

and i don't understand why

[gray frigate]

"sway"?

[ripe sphinx]

like a hover over sway animation

[thick spire]

Hello, I’m new to Unity. I have a free Strategy RTS camera asset. They gave me prefabs for the Camera controller but the settings are blank instead of matching that of the Demo scene. Is there an easy way to move the Camera controller from the demo scenes Hierarchy into my scene with the same settings and components?

[balmy kettle]

open both scenes (you can drag a scene into the hierarchy to open it additively) then just drag it into the desired scene and save that scene

[thick spire]

Thank you, for both the answer and the duo scene tip

[latent meadow]

seems in the end, increased geometry in combination with alpha cutout yeilds better performance. of course, it is all costing something, here or there. if you can add a tiny bit more geo, and eliminate alpha entirely, that would be the best, all around (generally).

[glacial anchor]

How can I make a gun

[latent meadow]

you'd need to be more specific.

[gray frigate]

How are you doing the hover animation?

[granite python]

Seems kind of weird to market or sell video to motion with unity AI still when it's been deprecated for 7 months now.

[fair cove]

If you mean a model, youd create that in Blender, probably with a reference image or tutorial - if you mean functionality, youd create that in Unity with a script, also could be made with a tutorial but if you have a specific design in mind, then as Hunanbean mentioned, youll want to be more specific with what your actually trying to do and where you are confused

[junior path]

Oh great, where is the darn code. I can't find it on my phone

[copper gust]

its possible you need to reach out to unity support and wait a few days for a response

[junior path]

Yeah: and then I got an email along the lines of "we are currently answering messages in April". WHAT?

I need to get into my account like now and i can't because of your stupid broken 2FA system.

[latent meadow]

it affected many people, so no need to worry about it being something you caused directly

[latent lake]

I have a navigation graph generator and I use gizmos to draw the graph when I need to debug, a circle per node then lines representing connections, however a recent implementation has exploded the amount of connections and while I do have an idea on how to optimise things I just don't like the fact that gizmos redraw every frame, it feels unnecessary for this function since nothing is moving or changing unless you rebake the graph or select a different graph to debug/draw. Using debug.drawline is also eh ecause it needs to exist a specified amount of time, I like how gizmos are permanent unless you stop calling the logic inside on gizmo, any suggestions?

[shut jacinth]

How do you make a gorilla tag physics game?

[copper gust]

go to a gorilla tag server

[gray frigate]

that is explicitly how gizmos work: they're "immediate-mode"

any "retained-mode" gizmo system would require you to create a ton of renderers and leave them in the scene

[copper gust]

alt suggestion not a recomendation: you could use a temporarily linerenderer and build a mesh with it, cache that then run that via a drawinstanced call

[slow dirge]

It's not even clear what the goal is. If it's optimization, you either draw or don't draw them. "keep a draw from a few frames ago" is not a thing physically. At least not unless you stop the editor from rendering after that frame entirely

[latent lake]

Is that how debug draw works? And is that bad? Or is not necessarily bad just more difficult to deal with?

[slow dirge]

I just don't like the fact that gizmos redraw every frame

This basically sounds like a misunderstanding of rendering in general. Everything is redrawn every frame. Gizmos are not unique.

[latent lake]

Interesting I have no idea what that means I'll have to research it

[latent lake]

I see

[gray frigate]

yes, this is true (:

now, if calculating what to draw is very expensive, then you could consider caching the result

[latent lake]

Uh true I can't argue with that, maybe I just couldn't face that my current structure is kinda bad and I have to rebuild it yet another time

[slow dirge]

What other people said is true as well though - gizmos is not the most efficient way to render stuff. There are better ways.

I'd suggest starting from looking at the profiler in either case

[tall hearth]

jumping to a statement that's 4 and half hours old but even fancier is if you with another quad that lays flat near the top and center of the other two for a 3d looking flower head

[gray frigate]

a slightly more expensive option is 100,000 randomly oriented quads

this shape is so evil that it's causing my gpu to artifact when i turn on x-ray mode

[tall hearth]

now this is the grass i want in my game game

goes great with the deformable terrain im working on

[gray frigate]

vertex spaghetti!

[tall hearth]

yeah i tried to do the marching cubes inside a compute shader and i think it jumbled the order of the vertices least that's the only explination i'll accept as the code was 1 to 1 as if done outside a compute shader otherwise

[glacial anchor]

ummmm yall how do i make an fps?

[tall hearth]

not something that could be answered in a single question, but i dont recommend working on a multiplayer if you've yet to even make a game yet

[glacial anchor]

ok any starter projects?

it would be my first real game ever

[tall hearth]

just basic games like flappy bird to get a feel for work flow nothing over the top in scope as that leads to burn out and makes you less likely to want to code much more after that

looks like i'm back here.
I'm working on a project and i got the models for that project from sketchfab and deviant art. problem is, loading the model into unity(.fbx file although it also has an obj file) the model is tiny, like very very tiny. If you create a capsule object beside the model you won't be able to find it, so i tried scaling it up. now adding the capcule collision, it's humungous. and it keeps messing with my head. i dunno what to do

[median belfry]

Hey everyone, I have a question.
Right now I'm having an issue where transparent alpha is occluding/hiding game objects behind it.
I want my 3D model to surround a square object, so I enabled ZWrite. The only way I could fix the sorting issue was by using Alpha Threshold / Alpha Clip, but the edges become too hard and lose the soft transparency look compared to normal alpha blending (similar to a dissolve effect).
Is there a good way to keep soft transparent edges while still avoiding the transparency sorting/occlusion issue?

[storm patio]

sounds like you've also scaled up the capsule
i don't have personal experience with 3d, so take this with a grain of salt, but as ive heard:
you should have a root object that has the colliders and such, scaled normally (1-1-1), then a child of that that has just the graphics (the mesh) which can be scaled to match normal objects

[stone olive]

forgive me, i don't really know much on unity so i may not understand what you just said.
i ended put having my values of the capsule collider at 0, the centre X,Y,Z, the radius and the height. as the model is super tiny, so i just work with it like that? no need to make it bigger so it doesn't break the rig or anything? I feel lost and confused

[storm patio]

which parts of my previous message did you not understand exactly? i suspect there are some terms there that you wouldn't know yet, but i wouldn't know which ones exactly lol

[stone olive]

the part where you said you've heard, i didn't really get that

[storm patio]

no need to make it bigger so it doesn't break the rig or anything
not sure about this part, since i don't have experience with 3d models... i feel like the answer is you probably have to fix it to make it bigger, but i'm not sure

[storm patio]

the "sounds like" part? that's a figure of speech, like "seems like"

i'm saying "i think you've also scaled up the capsule"

[stone olive]

alright, lemme break it down if i may, What do you mean a root object in this manner and i should put the colliders on it? then the child of that?

[latent meadow]

you should do the Pathways on the learning site, so you understand how things work.
also, this question is best answered by the #🔀┃art-asset-workflow room.
it is not a simple question, and will not have a simple answer. this is why time on the learning site is a good idea.
