[violet thunder]

Im not familiar with the "Character rig" section but my guess is that it's related to that yeah

The geometry is distorted, not the texture

[near wigeon]

over here seems OK but then it goes wrong somewhere after the slicing ?

so yeah def on mesh creation something goes wrong

[violet thunder]

What is bone_1 and its children

Is this character supposed to be rigged @magic escarp ?

[magic escarp]

That's right, but at this rate it's an aspirational goal

[violet thunder]

Can you disable the rig just to see if that's the issue

[magic escarp]

Sure

Just a second

So with rigs disabled it still looks the same, but I'm fairly certain that its just the goofy size I had for limbs that made it do weird things. I made a new model whose limbs dimensions are all even numbers and it generated correctly, and with much fewer vertices.

thanks for all the help trying to get this stuff figured out, guys!

[lucid wren]

hi guys

[magic escarp]

Hey, how's it going?

[worldly cave]

Hi #🌱┃start-here

[lucid wren]

I've been making this game non-stop for 5-7 hours now.

[violet thunder]

Oh the whole image is only 32x32? That's probably not enough pixels for it to generate the mesh correctly

Turning off compression might help with that too

But yeah if it works now then good

[lucid wren]

release on game jolt soon...

[violet thunder]

(I'd avoid having sprites that are only 1-2 pixels wide)

[proud barn]

yall im newish to game development and I am taking on the task of making a multiplayer third person shooter. Anyone have any advice when developing? (been coding for 3 years)

[worldly cave]

start smaller

thats my advice

a multiplayer game is already a huge jump in scope

[proud barn]

Ive already completed simple 3d games fps games

[worldly cave]

well "newish" doesnt really tell us much lol

I would still say start smaller than you think

making a good third person controller is already a challenge

[proud barn]

but i ported in assets

[worldly cave]

thats the lesser of the 2 issues

[stuck flower]

If you see fit to describe yourself as "newish" you probably aren't ready for multiplayer

[near wigeon]

the old saying, "If you need to ask, you're not ready"

[proud barn]

would it be easier to finish developing it in singleplayer and then adding a multiplayer aspect?

[storm patio]

no

[worldly cave]

would actually make things harder in the long run

[gray frigate]

extremely harder

[proud barn]

thats what I was thinking. I figured using photon and integrating one aspect of the game at a time could be the easiest way to start this task.

[pliant crane]

guys why is my material so shiny. it has alpha. it has metal but it still doesnt look metalic or the right shinyness

[worldly cave]

Because you set smoothness to 1?

[pliant crane]

yeah isnt that the multiplication of the alpha wich is the roughness value?

[storm patio]

isn't smoothness = 1-roughness

[worldly cave]

it is

[worldly cave]

right? so the higher the value the more shinier the shiny parts become

[pliant crane]

the lower (or higher i forgot) the ALPHA is the more the shininess should be. the value is the weight of that map

[worldly cave]

think about it intuitively for a second lol

[pliant crane]

if its 1 then its 1*aplha

[worldly cave]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterSmoothness.html

[pliant crane]

the alpha is changis across the texture

[worldly cave]

if you lower the smoothness slider does your object become less shiny?

[pliant crane]

that is for something that doesnt have any smoothness maps

[pliant crane]

yes

if i put it at .5 it is alpha / 2

[worldly cave]

exactly what im telling you lol

its going to be shiny if you keep it at 1

[pliant crane]

I HAVE A SHYNINESS MAP WITCH CHANGES THE SLIDERS ACTION

normaly its 1*slider ammount

with a MAP its alpha for pixer * slider ammount

[storm patio]

that seems like the same action

[pliant crane]

tiny correction the alpha for a mettalness map is normaly always 1 if its not packed

[pliant crane]

the difrance is that 1 doesnt change and the APLHA DOES

[storm patio]

it's a different starting value, it's the same "action"

anyways what's the issue?

[pliant crane]

i corrected my self here

[storm patio]

i'm not sure which object has the texture in question in your original post

[pliant crane]

btw it SAYS IT RIGHT HERE

the desk

[storm patio]

which part of the desk

[pliant crane]

the one im selectiong

[storm patio]

there's multiple parts there

is it the inner part or the edge that's the issue

[pliant crane]

its 1 mesh and the leather and edge have difrante metalness and rougness values

[storm patio]

and again, what's the issue? what's the intended effect?
your original message seems to say it's too shiny

[storm patio]

hence why i'm asking which part has the issue.

[pliant crane]

the leather is not suppoes to be shiny

[pliant crane]

seen here

[storm patio]

uh, doesn't look shiny to me?

[pliant crane]

thats the difrance between the current and no metalness or rougness

[worldly cave]

where is the bottom picture from?

[storm patio]

not sure what that first screenshot is supposed to be showing

[pliant crane]

same game but no roughness or metal

[worldly cave]

by same game you mean also in unity?

[pliant crane]

the shiny part from the current one

[worldly cave]

well yeah if you dont have roughness or a metallic map the game will just use a default value for it universally lol

[pliant crane]

yes

[pliant crane]

i dont think you get the problem

the leather is not suppoes to be shiny. the texture says its not suppoes to be shiny. but unity makes it shiny

[pliant crane]

im trying to make this version for the metal but fix the shiny leather

[worldly cave]

Can you show the roughness map?

from the alpha channel

[pliant crane]

yes

[worldly cave]

also lets swap to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

send it there and ping me

send the base color too

[pliant crane]

the texture?

[left zephyr]

Yo

[worldly cave]

hello #🌱┃start-here

[shut pine]

Anyone have a tip on how to prevent overlapping faces from flickering? (without the obvious response of making them not overlap)

[worldly cave]

youre going to need a custom shader for that

with depth bias

pretty sure the shader graph has a vertex position offset you could use

in hlsl the native command is "Offset"

the simpler solution however is simply not making the geometry overlap

[shut pine]

Damn, thanks, I'll look if I can move the surface maybe like 1mm to the front, but since it's a building feature I cannot move it a lot to keep the block grid building system

[lucid wren]

bruh i coding 5+ hours

[exotic relic]

Quick tip if you ever change routes; in unity you can also hold the V key to snap objects to the corners of other objects so they don’t overlap.

[worldly cave]

is there any thing in particular you need help with?

[lucid wren]

no

[worldly cave]

this is a help channel

if you just want to share use #🏆┃daily-win or #1180170818983051344

[charred fog]

@lucid wren You've been told this already as well.

[thorn pier]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/AnimationParameters.html

could anyone explain more about this?

I wanna make a FBX model that has a forever animation so I can export it in other client that uses Unity, I was told to use animation parameters but this documenation isn't explaining enough on how to use it or set it up

[gray frigate]

animation parameters are used to control an animator

so I can export it in other client that uses Unity

what are you doing here, exactly?

[thorn pier]

export it to Warudo

basically export a FBX as "prop" in warudo, but I want it to export with its own animation

[gray frigate]

i've never worked with Warudo, but it sounds like you need to record an animation for the prop to play (on loop)

you'd do that by adding an Animator to the prop

[worldly cave]

Anyone have a link to that really popular free outline effect on the asset store?

i cant remember exactly what its called and i cant seem to find it manually

[shut pine]

The blocks get created via the player in runtime, but still thanks, will keep it in mind for map building!

[gray frigate]

what's actually overlapping in this image?

is it a thin wall and then a block on the other side?

[shut pine]

It's kind of a block building style, but instead of only full blocks, I have a 1/4 block used for thin house walls, but my 1/2 slap block overlaps with the wall, but I cannot make the slap smaller cause that would create gaps in floors, and extruding the wall forward would make the wall and full block no longer align correctly

[topaz wadi]

do you guys block out in blender then put it all on unity?

[charred fog]

You can also use ProBuilder in Unity for prototyping, and can export that into Blender.

[worldly cave]

you can use both :)

you can block out in blender, import into unity, then use probuilder to "probuilderize" the meshes

turning them into adjustable probuilder primitives you can then edit directly inside of Unity

[worldly cave]

its all automatic and for simple primitives it works flawlessly

[topaz wadi]

ohh thanks

[left coyote]

I downloaded this post process effect but my project uses URP, how can I still use it?

[near wigeon]

you can't they use completely different shaders

it needs to be rewritten something like Full Screen Effect / Renderer Feature

[left coyote]

The script?

[near wigeon]

yes but if you have no experience you can just get URP specific ones or do it in shadergraph which is quick

[left coyote]

Idk where to find urp specific ones

[near wigeon]

if you search around you will find it , guaranteed

[left coyote]

Is it possible to let AI convert it to URP?

The script

[iron terrace]

im here for one question and one question alone

im just getting into unity

but how the hell do i make my little guy into more guys

like iv got these little guys

but how do i split them up

[gray frigate]

you want the 'Multiple' sprite mode

[iron terrace]

dont worry about the art quality

and

how

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.5/Documentation/Manual/sprite/sprite-editor/sprite-editor-window-reference.html

[iron terrace]

thank you

[gray frigate]

look at the importer settings for the texture

[iron terrace]

oh lord oh savior

[near wigeon]

doubt it will work. Just look up URP specific tutorials
eg
https://www.patreon.com/posts/unitytip-retro-143251298

[gray frigate]

(i do think Multiple is actually the default, anyway)

after ensuring that, you then use the sprite editor to slice that image into multiple sprites

[iron terrace]

the thing is i cant find where multiple is

like all i se is the spite sheet

ami in the fully wrong place

or ami just stupid

[gray frigate]

Screenshot the entire inspector

[gray frigate]

ah, this is an Aseprite file

[iron terrace]

ye

i dono what to do

do i just change art thing fully?

[near wigeon]

should probably lookup some tutorials

[gray frigate]

been a minute since I've used that program

[iron terrace]

i have been for like 5 hours

[near wigeon]

aseprite to unity or somethin

[gray frigate]

Switch to "Sprite Sheet" mode

[iron terrace]

ok ok

[gray frigate]

"Animated Sprite" wants to use keyframes from Aseprite

or, well, just frames

[iron terrace]

whu is 'h m' blocked

[left coyote]

Would you say hdrp or urp is the better render pipeline for ps1 style graphics?

[iron terrace]

mhm

[near wigeon]

there is no need to use HDRP for that

[gray frigate]

the HDRP's features would be useless for an "authentic" PSX look

[near wigeon]

plus it wont work on mobile or WebGL

[gray frigate]

of course, most people don't go 100% authentic

[iron terrace]

YEEEEEE

I DID IT

THANK YOU

i do not want to admit this but iv been at this for 4 days

[left coyote]

And how do I achieve a good psx type lighting? Cause I tried and it looks too modern if that makes sense

[gray frigate]

you might need to do per-vertex lighting

all modern shaders will want to shade lights per-pixel

[left coyote]

Is there any tutorial for that?

[pastel agate]

Hello,

While I was working on my project, OneDrive deleted my packaging files, forcing me to reinstall them again. After reinstallation, the scene view and play view camera are no longer displaying the existing gameObject sprites. I have checked my camera, the Sprite Renderer, and colliders, and they appear to function normally.

UI elements and new gameObjects appear to be unaffected, but all my existing non-Canvas gameObjects are not displaying their sprites. Did I reinstall the packages incorrectly or forgot something? Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated.

[gray frigate]

"packaging files"?

[stuck flower]

If your project is in one drive it's probably completely borked. OneDrive makes a lot of assumptions about what files are "necessary" and will remove others and generally be a massive pain in the ass. If it's in a one drive folder, get it out of there as soon as possible

[iron terrace]

does anybody have a video that explains how to code top down movement cuz all i can find are 7 years old

[near wigeon]

unless its somehow a javascript-like code, the age should not matter

[iron terrace]

ok ok

cuz some of em say to use the inputsystem package and some dont

[pastel agate]

Update:
It turns out the Default Render Pipeline in Graphics the Project Settings had an empty field. I filled it with the URP Asset and the sprites became visible again

[pastel agate]

Usually I do my work on a school computer, but yeah, I never expected OneDrive to be... OneDrive. I have some older backups on my USB, but I'll definitely keep that in mind

[violet valley]

How do you guys approach making a 2.5D platformer; when drawing the layout itself on Unity. I was thinking about doing "tile" assets in Blender and then using them inside Unity like constructions blocks; but not sure if this would be the best kind of approach. I'm entirely lost in this regard.

I assume there are a dozen ways of going about it; but could use some direction or examples; or just some words telling me my approach is not entirely wrong/stupid (if it isn't). XD

[near wigeon]

as long as most of them are static it shouldnt be an issue

creating levels you can do it that way, unity has a GRID component which also supports 3D objects via prefab brush so you could technically draw them that way
or if you're clever enough to make your own editor using a 2D grid / enums

[violet valley]

Is just that I'm entirely new on both Unity and Blender. I have done maps for Counter Strike; but I worry I start doing some stuff in the wrong way because i don't know the good practices or correct/standard approach, or engine problems/limitations.

Right now I was thinking of a "prop" approach; doing each thing that gets repeated as it's own piece, and "paste" them together inside of unity. But not sure if the engine would prefer the player to walk over a single invisible rectangle, or 12 cube-props in a row with 12 physics boxes, or if it's basically the same. I did THIS image as to how I was thinking to approach it; but wanted some guidance or opinions.

[near wigeon]

in unity you can make prefabs for objects that repeat

[violet valley]

I know how to make the playable layout in Unity (thou I haven't tested the grid in there yet; I assume it must quite easy with just one tutorial on how to enable it or change the size); but I'm not to sure how to start doing the "polish" and "make it look good" approach. And I think I should do models in Blender for it; but I'm not entirely sure. Unity seemed VERY limited for "modeling"; to the point I can't even make a simple slope unless I download a tool that allows vertex manipulation?

[violet valley]

But can you make them look good? I couldn't even make a slope... I had to turn a cube 45º (was just testing around). XD

[near wigeon]

Unity doesnt really have good 3D building tooling built in. You need probuilder for that

its closer to Hammer Source 2 rather than Hammer Source 1 tho

[violet valley]

Haven't really touched the Source 2 one; other than seeing some mapping on it. But can ProBuilder+Unity replace Blender? Or should I still learn Blender to do cool stuff?

[copper gust]

Not to beat that dead horse but to be clear Unity doesn't really have good 3d building regardless of probuilder

If you want to do greyboxing in unity it's fine enough

[violet valley]

Also, thanks a lot for your replies. This place is weirdly quiet for how many people are on the server... I guess I got spoiled by small hammer mapping communities with so many people willing to help others.

[copper gust]

don't model in Unity

[near wigeon]

You can take probuilder + unity pretty far, Blender can offer the final polish

[violet valley]

Gotcha. So still learn some Blender to make the props/models.

[near wigeon]

unless you're making something like Super Hot and a couple of other games that used PB only

[violet valley]

Nah; I wana try to make it look good. Is what I always enjoyed, that polishing.

[copper gust]

This server is relatively decent for specific problem and solution support but for various intentional and unintentional reasons it hasn't really fostered a community than what you might see in eg. the source engine server

but also this server has 133k members so it's a whole different thing

[violet valley]

Fair enough.

So, to do something like seen in the image (from Metroid Dread), would you guys approach it as a tileset, kindaish, with some decorating props?

[near wigeon]

that depends on too many things

[violet valley]

Should I bother turning a platform made out of tiny blocks with their physics into non-solid and use a single rectangle for performance? Or does unity handle that perfectly fine?

[violet valley]

I guess I should've asked if it's a "valid" approach. I'm just worry I may be missing something obvious that would be better.

[near wigeon]

Start with blocking out the game, put the details later as usual

don't over think it

the pieces can be set, or dynamic where random props can spawn within a block/tile, really does depends ur design

[violet valley]

Thing is, I wanted to do some detailing early on; because I don't want to do ALL the blocking out, just to later find out that it doesn't work fine (and gives me lots of troubles or extra work) with whatever "detailing" I decide to do.

[latent meadow]

if the thing will not change, merge them. if each block needs to be a separate thing, keep them a separate thing.

https://unity.com/resources/ultimate-guide-to-profiling-unity-games-unity-6

[copper gust]

The first step in deciding the photo is that the red stuff is at minimum seperate from all the other stuff, that studio might honestly maybe manually place that shit because but in your case i'd look at 2d tilemap "rule tile" based stuff to get an idea of how that would work but then apply that to a 3d content

then i'd guess the other colours are either outright manually placed by hand or some might have like a system ontop of the front "red" tile system that is used to smartly place stuff (eg. the backing rails)

[near wigeon]

if they are separate meshes, regardless..as long as they don't move and are marked as static, so unity can optimize them as a bigger mesh

[violet valley]

They probably don't need to change. But by merging them, you mean in Unity, right? I think I saw it has that option. I can select them, click merge, and it already improves the performance by turning them into a single solid, right?

[violet valley]

Oh boy, that's a long read. XD

[latent meadow]

i use third party assets to combine meshes. honestly not sure of the current state of internel mechanisms for doing it

[copper gust]

Dread is kinda a bad example if I had to guess because the budget is really high for what you'd wanna start looking into

[latent meadow]

that is 'just' profiling.

the engine should generally cull what is not on screen, so you may be overengineering things

[copper gust]

Like honestly the red forground layer was probably determined by the level designers, then after approval the entire rest of the scene was handmade as a whole

you could smartly handle some of this via code and ruletile based stuff but i dont think thats what this does

[violet valley]

I just googled a game that had 3D assets on 2D gameplay; which is kinda what I was planning on doing. And that was the clearest example. Because other titles get very blurry as if their assets are 3D or 2D, becuse they are "too well done". XD

[copper gust]

forsure, just letting you know what dread does might not be what you want to do specifically

i def think learning how rule tiles work will lead you in the generally right direction

[tall hearth]

super hot used pro builder? does this include all it's props?

[violet valley]

Well, I kinda decided what I wanted to do, and then searched for an example. I'm not basing my game on Metroid Dread (I didn't even play/know the game). XD

[near wigeon]

according an old page (when probuilder was a paid asset)
maybe only the levels and slick marketing talk.. I don't know if the entire props were tbh

[violet valley]

I wanted to make a 2D game (because it feels simpler than most stuff); and I have some experience doing 3D maps (from Hammer). Better than pixel art for sure; and didn't want to do the Thomas Was Alone approach. XD

[violet valley]

I saw some of it. I pressume I can create some for 3D. I'm not doing any coding BTW, got a friend handling that.

But yeah; looking into it will definetively reduce a lot of workload down the line.

[copper gust]

Yeah, I can't offer specific advice for how but it's just a concept

[violet valley]

Don't worry; I will google some tutorial on how to make a 3D Tileset for Unity or something like that.

If/when I do it; I guess I will do very crappy simplistic models; make sure they work; and later will be all about replacing them with polished/detailed versions.

Thanks a bunch again, to both of you. I think what I needed most was someone to talk about it... Maybe I should try the Rubber Ducky approach. I was feeling so lost as in "WHERE DO I BEGIN!?", "HOW DO I TACKLE ANY OF THIS!?".

[tall hearth]

just kinda shocked they could make character models with it

[near wigeon]

do not attempt to put external links in there. explain in your message that this server does not allow external links like that, so instead of a link, write "'if interested, DM me for a google groups link'". then people who want to test will send you a message asking for the link.

[deft urchin]

I wrote to you

i am attempting to explain to you how to use this server. i am not one who will be a tester for you.

see the edited message. perhaps that is clearer

ehh really? i'm able to post likes to code paste sites or is it cause it's a link to whatever google groups is?

[latent meadow]

yes, it is specific links, generally. feel free to try to explain that specifically, but we do not know which links are banned/filtered, so, could be in for a long conversation

they can also just add the link in their user profile, and have people click there

you are correct. Seems like a touchy subject, dropping it.

[craggy pollen]

as a beginner you should avoid using ai

until you are confortable with understanding how programming syntax work

[candid yoke]

fact

[craggy pollen]

after that you can use it as a tool to boost your coding speed, that is all it

[candid yoke]

well even apart from that, saying to a guy searching for help "just use AI bro"
pretty sure if he wanted he would have done so

[hard parcel]

I couldnt agree with your more, but the way the world / industry is moving, that wont hold for much longer, in fact in many places they pretty much shove AI down developers throat, that if you dont use it your so far behind its insane

[copper gust]

Then quit

[hard parcel]

At my job we got to the point we just code review and write tests to make sure code behaves as it suppose to, hell some even skip reviewing

[hard parcel]

I am 42, quitting isnt an option, at this age, been in this company for 9 years now. not an option, will stay until i get fired and get all the benefits i deserve

[latent meadow]

as the moderators have said. no one wants to have this conversation again. feel free to make a thread. doesn't belong in the room.

[hard parcel]

Didnt see the moderator message, nor did i know that subject is against the rules here, will drop the subject though

[candid yoke]

wait lil question, are the AI channel to talk abt ai like chatgpt using with unity or talk abt ai like npc's behavior in unity?

[latent meadow]

it depends. best to go into the room and read the description, and the top of the main pinned message in each room

[candid yoke]

well I was wondering coz there is a description in #🤖┃ai-navigation but not in #1202574086115557446

[copper gust]

#🤖┃ai-navigation for pathfinding, #1202574086115557446 for any llm questions that no one will answer

oh ok thank u

[latent meadow]

well, that is annoying. it looks like the main message has been removed from that room. you can see a description here:

I just downloaded unity 6.4, has anyone had any issues with switching projects over to the version or no?
the internet has definitely scared me out of updating unity versions 🤣

[latent meadow]

either make a backup of your project manually, or use source control. do not attempt upgrades otherwise.

[digital kiln]

gotcha, my next question is do you think it would be best to start a new project with unity's 6.4 version?
I'm currently learning c# in order to build projects for myself later on, but not sure if there's a "best version" to work with when it comes to unity

[latent meadow]

i suggest 6.0 or if needed 6.3 @digital kiln

hi, I need some help. I cant create a project for some reason

[storm patio]

are you getting error messages

[tribal cave]

no

I create a project, it loads and then it just disappears for no reason

[storm patio]

check logs perhaps

I genuinly dont know whats going on and how to fix this

i cant open the project at all

it disappears before i can click on it

[latent meadow]

use the bot message called Logs that was sent to you. open the Log that corresponds to your OS. follow Chris's instructions

[tribal cave]

i dont know what that means mate

I dont know anything about computers

how do I open the log?

[latent meadow]

the log is just a text file. you open it as you would any text file.

[trim raft]

can someone dev a gtag copy for me

[latent meadow]

no. google for a gtag fan server.

[tribal cave]

how tho

where to i paste it?

i dont understand anything

[latent meadow]

i will be honest. if that is the case then game dev is beyond your ability.

[tribal cave]

well yeah

''A crash has been intercepted by the crash handler. For call stack and other details, see the latest crash report generated in:'' is this it?

no idea

which i dont understand, the folder is in my external ssd drive

[latent meadow]

so that is a folder name you created?

[tribal cave]

yes

[latent meadow]

try a different folder name, without a . in it, as a test. by external, you mean USB?

[tribal cave]

yeah

well i tried to make a another folder called like, test 123, didnt work either

[latent meadow]

now, to verify, it is a full speed SSD on a USB3 or C port, not a usb thumb/flash drive, right?

also, how much room is on c:?

[tribal cave]

yeah

[tribal cave]

like storage?

[latent meadow]

yes. how much space is free

[tribal cave]

10gb lmao

[latent meadow]

that is a problem.

[tribal cave]

yeah, thats why i bought the ssd

its a school laptop btw

[latent meadow]

unity still requires space on c:. you can move the package cache to d: later too, but i only know how to do that once i a project. i suggest freeing some space on c: "it's a school laptop" does not really mean anything to me.

[tribal cave]

well the reason why its low on space is because im an art student and we have a bunch of adobe stuff already installed which takes up quite a lot of space, and theres a lot other unnecessary stuff as well, which once i graduate in about 2 weeks, ill be able to factory reset the laptop and get rid of a bunch of that stuff

but for now, I cant really do anything

[latent meadow]

see you in a couple weeks then.

[tribal cave]

lmao

still not sure if the issue is the lack of storage tho

because my other classmates also have the same amount and theyve worked on their 2d game for months now

but ill talk to my mentor and see if he can find the issue

but thanks for the feedback tho mate

[latent meadow]

last check..

[tribal cave]

yeah

[latent meadow]

this external drive.. is this the first time having it attached to this computer?

[tribal cave]

oh no

[latent meadow]

so you write to it all the time for your school work?

[tribal cave]

had it since september

[tribal cave]

yeah

[latent meadow]

ok. it is probably not a permissions issue then. just a passing thought. good luck

[lucid wren]

hi. say about yourself: #🤝┃introductions

[worldly cave]

Does anyone know how long the new 2$ sale is going to last?

I cant see if they said it anywhere on the asset store page

or if they maybe announced its duration previously

[latent meadow]

no idea

[exotic relic]

About 4-8 more days

It depends on the asset that’s why

[latent meadow]

are they adding and removing, per day?

[worldly cave]

this is as generous as they will ever be lol

[worldly cave]

im not even sure

i hope they are adding more than removing lol

[near wigeon]

wait what assets amount to 1,166 euros

[exotic relic]

Some. They all started at 12 days, and I notice some are down to different days

[worldly cave]

mostly enviromental assets

they come in bundles, you buy the bundle for 2 bucks and then get like 500 euros worth of assets for free

this is about 2 bundles i paid 5 dollars for

[latent meadow]

yeah, the hivemind and laertes would add up to that pretty quickly

[exotic relic]

There’s a ton of cool stuff but none that I’m gonna use 😭😂

[latent meadow]

be careful with coupon codes and public display

[worldly cave]

i got it from reddit

so its not like it wasnt public to begin with lol

but sure ill play it safe lol

[latent meadow]

in that case, what was it for?

[worldly cave]

like what assets i bought?

[exotic relic]

No the percent off

[worldly cave]

oh it was 25%

it was just a discount

[latent meadow]

yeah, if it is a public, valid offer, it would be cool to know

[worldly cave]

nothing special

[latent meadow]

ah

[worldly cave]

wait let me find it

||PD89HNM81S||

[exotic relic]

I mean… some assets are already at 99% off tho lol

[worldly cave]

this discount applies on top of everything else

the base cost was 25 bucks

[exotic relic]

That’s wild

[worldly cave]

for 600 euroes worth of assets

[latent meadow]

wish i knew that $200 ago

[worldly cave]

yeah my avarice knows no bounds

applying a 25% discount code to a 25€ purchase for 600€ worth of assets

[exotic relic]

I’ll have to check again to see if they added any new ones or just counting down now

[worldly cave]

ill check too later

[latent meadow]

brb ( i know it id discord and not needed, just wanted to mention i won't be replying for a bit)

[exotic relic]

The countdown isn’t displayed on the first page, it’s somewhere after clicking on the asset since it’s per-asset

[worldly cave]

makes sense they would hide it

kinda

[exotic relic]

Buuuut, yea in general, snipe it now

The last one was only about 10 days as well

[near adder]

Hi, how do you fix camera clipping in the unity editor? I was making my ui and after I left 2d for some reason when I got close to an object my camera would kinda clip through it idk how to explain it but objects would be grey even if i'm just near them which usually happens when the camera is inside of an object.

oh I had dynamic clipping on

[near wigeon]

you can just select something and press F

it will focus on that and reset the fov range to better values

[gray frigate]

you do want to leave dynamic clipping enabled

it'll make the camera behave correctly when focusing on very small or very large objects

[glossy topaz]

should i be unpacking the prefab

[near wigeon]

no reason to unless you're modifying the order of gameobjects for whatever reason

[stuck flower]

Is there something you're trying to accomplish that would require it?

[glossy topaz]

i didnt know anything required it. but i will be putting guns and stuff in his hand

[near wigeon]

you can ADD objects onto it, you just cant rearrange the order of original gameobjects or remove them

[glossy topaz]

ok thankyou

[brisk hill]

Hii, I'm a new beginner. I'm trying to follow two tutorials but both doesn't show the same settings at the right : I'm searching for "texture", in order to put the texture for one of my mushroom. But all I see is that. I only see materials, and I couldn't take back the texture of my mushroom(or just I don't know how to) . Can we just agree that I need to import manually the texture first ?

[near wigeon]

do you have the texture image? material holds the texture in it

[brisk hill]

yes

[gray frigate]

All of these materials are "sub-assets" – they're generated by Unity as it imports the FBX. You can't edit these directly.

you can tell because they're in that little foldout menu

You can copy a material and then make edits to it

[brisk hill]

??what do you mean? what can I do with my painted image texture ?

[near wigeon]

the texture image goes in the BaseMap field , if you're using old Renderer like Standard its under Albedo

[gray frigate]

the "Mesh Renderer" is what actually draws the mushroom

it uses a Material

a Material stores things like textures

so, you need to:

• make an editable material
  • right click in the Project window, then do Create > Material
• select that material
• plug the texture into the material
  • you'll want either the "Albedo" or "BaseMap" texture (whichever one you see)
  • drag the texture asset directly into the little square in the inspector to assign it
• drag the material into the MeshRenderer's material slot

[brisk hill]

I think I got it ? except I can't find the "meshrenderer"

if it's not important, I will try now to fix this light

[storm patio]

the meshrenderer would be in the scene

it'd be on an object in the scene, and it'd drive the rendering of the object

[near wigeon]

its in the name.. Mesh Renderer

world visuals

[storm patio]

select the object in question and check the inspector

[gray frigate]

That's the thing you had selected earlier.

in your first screenshot

[brisk hill]

oh, yes. found it

I think it did by itself

because that the name I gave to the material

[gray frigate]

the blue bar on the edge here means that you've overridden a property from the prefab

note that dragging the material onto the object in the Scene View will work

it'll look for a renderer and assign the material

hello can someone help me with this problem ? here when player gets on high platform collision must happen but it doesn't work https://pastes.dev/AKD1OWSJsl this is the script which i attached to the player with which i want to detect collision

[near wigeon]

collision with what?
this code is hard to understand because its not in english

[worldly cave]

its also very obviously ai generated

unless this person writes all their comments in third person lmao

[gritty dagger]

collision with platform which appears when you collide with boots and get in the air . Don't pay attention to that language . I'm trying to detect collision so when player collides with that platform i want it to move backwards

[gritty dagger]

yeah bc i'm newbie

[worldly cave]

if you need help with code you wrote, let us know, why should we spend time cleaning up ai generated code for you

[gritty dagger]

i didn't tell you need to clean up code i want help genius

what do you want from me

[latent meadow]

i want you to read the #📖┃code-of-conduct and have it register that AI code is not allowed.

[gritty dagger]

why

[near wigeon]

well its moving there, you would want to use something to detect it properly like raycast
OnCollision works if at least 1 collision object has rigidbody

[latent meadow]

because it is a waste of our time.
like it or not, those are the rules.

[worldly cave]

also insane asking why instead of just reading the rules to begin with lmao

[gritty dagger]

this isn't moving

[near wigeon]

right and the conditions you set to make it move are not met

[gritty dagger]

but why when i'm trying to access to collision it doesn't work (my player has rigidbody on it)

[gritty dagger]

but how can i know what code to write if i don't know

[worldly cave]

youre never going to know if you use ai

[near wigeon]

how would I know why I'm not psychic, you need to start debugging it. Start piece by piece

[worldly cave]

the same way you cant learn to drive by riding around in a taxi your entire life

[latent meadow]

learn. there are books and free websites all over the place.

[worldly cave]

you cant know how to code until you start learning to code, having AI to write your code for you is not going to help you

people have been learning to code the old fashioned way for what 60 years now, and suddenly people pretend like its impossible with AI

[gritty dagger]

i'm trying to think for like 20 minutes but i can't get the answer where can i get the answer except ai

[worldly cave]

wow a whole 20 minutes

some problems last for days

and in the end you come out a better programmer

[latent meadow]

you can spend all the time you want with AI. that is up to you. we are not going to audit its code though.

[gritty dagger]

i didn't know that you hate AI

[worldly cave]

if you want to use AI, have it solve your problems for you, thats not what people here are for

i mean hell, youre litterally seeing first hand the issue with relying on AI

you used AI to write this code for you

now something is broken so you have to come to us with no other choice

[latent meadow]

i use AI daily, and generate a lot of code with it. this is not the point. there is no point in continuing this discussion. there is a Unity Learning site you can start with. try the Junior Programmer Pathway

👇

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[near wigeon]

a bit harsh tbh

[worldly cave]

i have no issue with people actually using AI, i just dont like when people who exclusively use AI expect us to fix their problems for them

[near wigeon]

if the code came off a youtube video it would be same situation

[worldly cave]

i would argue it wouldnt

one shows initiative and the wilingless to learn

[near wigeon]

the problem is OP not grasping basics or at least try to have the AI explain what it is the really copying

[worldly cave]

the other shows a lack of care and wanting to shortcut your way through knowledge

[latent meadow]

i just meant no point in continuing the 'why no ai' portion. perfectly welcome here for productive conversation

[gritty dagger]

i understand the basics

[near wigeon]

yes on that part I agree just whenever AI is mentioned everyone goes ape shit lol

[near wigeon]

doubt

debugging would be part of the basics, before you even write any code

[gritty dagger]

debugging is just Debug.Log() no ?

[near wigeon]

debugging is a process nothing to do with code

Debug.Log is a tool you do use in debugging though

understand which parts you need to look into, disable stuff to get to the root of cause

if certain code deals with movement look there and objects related to it, verify the values are what you expect them to (with logs)

[gritty dagger]

so i cannot use AI right

[near wigeon]

you should not, no

ai comes with cost of your cognition and problem solving skills

[latent meadow]

that is why is suggested starting with books, or the many well designed free websites that teach step by step, and test along the way. once you know how, AI becomes like a junior programmer that does 'boring' work for you. if you use it to make things for you, without understanding, it is detrimental. also, dangerous.

[gritty dagger]

okay but if i tried everything and still doesn't solve the question what to do then

[gritty dagger]

i'm now studying on a course that's explaining a lot of stuff i think it's good . What other resources i can use to study

[near wigeon]

simplify the problem?
If you're convinced that using the AI thing you can do whatever, I ain't yer papa.. just know if you just put a text of AI code and say "is broken" we can't do much

[latent meadow]

check the pinned messages in the #💻┃code-beginner room

[gritty dagger]

what does dad have to do with it

[near wigeon]

its an expression ?

like "Do as you please, I'm not your boss" or something

language barrier moment..

[supple mica]

Maybe you should gradually use AI less, instead of instantly
Like maybe right now after using AI, ask it questions on how it fixed the issue, until you understand
Then as time goes on use it less and less, maybe just hints, then at some point you won't need it

well we should stop arguing and try help this guy who wrote a problem in the chat

[worldly cave]

its concerning that* you cannot tell that is obvious sarcasm

[unique moth]

he did give thumbs up

[unique moth]

isn't that because a GameObject is marked as Contribute GI but its mesh structure

Had sth like that too once

[ivory flax]

Bro please remember haha been 4 hours looking for a solution, i did mark some objects static like point lights is this the reason?

[worldly cave]

your marked your lights as static?

[unique moth]

Yes, that's exactly why!

[ivory flax]

then why when i generated light the whole week it worked why this time lol

[unique moth]

so the static body isn't a mesh

but unity expects it to be a mesh

so it can pack it on the light map

yk

Select your point lights and uncheck the Static

then go to the light component and change the Mode to Mixed ig

that should work

I accidently made a mistake and closed unity, is there any way to get the older version of my project to revert it again?

[near wigeon]

not unless you used version control

[left coyote]

how do I see that?

[worldly cave]

i mean its nothing that will be enabled automatically, something you have to consciously set up and "control"

are you using "Unity Version Control" or "Git" ?

[left coyote]

I havent enabled anything

[worldly cave]

then no, you most likely dont have version control

[left coyote]

and like through windows?

[near wigeon]

probaby a good time to learn

[worldly cave]

through what?

[left coyote]

windows explorer

[worldly cave]

what about it?

[left coyote]

is there any way to get the old version of a folder?

[near wigeon]

version control you use software, like GIT

the "snapshots" of your project are usually stored remotely on a cloud

[left coyote]

but if I havent enabled it then I cant access it right?

[near wigeon]

well yeah

where would it exist lol

unlike regular manual backups, this tracks only whats changed. And you decide when to make a "snapshot" of everything tracked is stored. aka a Commit

so you should probably start doing that from now on

The key that is used to build and run, i lost it by formatting my old laptop

[sterile lagoon]

I'm sorry to hear that

[inland hornet]

does anybody have any solution for this now

[sterile lagoon]

I'm interested

The key means the security key for product in unity environment?

[sterile lagoon]

The key means the security key for product in unity environment?

[inland hornet]

yeah i know

[sterile lagoon]

Do you have to publish the product in google play store or app store?

[inland hornet]

why did you send me friend request

[sterile lagoon]

to discuss in details

If you prefer this field, I will discuss here

[inland hornet]

I have already did, i just want to publish an update

[latent meadow]

@sterile lagoon make sure you read and understand the #📖┃code-of-conduct

[inland hornet]

we can discuss here

[inland hornet]

its no problem, i was just asking

[sterile lagoon]

I have read. I will keep the rule

[sterile lagoon]

Thanks

[sterile lagoon]

If you lost the key, you can generate the new key

[slow dirge]

Theres probably nothing you can do, aside from maybe contacting the publishing platform support.

Or you can publish it as a separate product with a new key. I think this has more to do with the corresponding store policy rather than unity.

[inland hornet]

am i cooked

[violet zinc]

I am a beginner animator, and I want to be able to animate 2d characters in 3d worlds. I am learning blender to create objects, but I do not know what to choose. I want to animate in the style of LOTM (I know it takes years of hard work to get that quality, but I want to match their art style) If anyone could give me advice on ease of use and quality of animations/shaders, I would be extremely grateful.

[vestal torrent]

Just keep using blender

[sterile lagoon]

If you are not sure to generate the new key, I can guide you

[violet zinc]

Uh, I was planning on uploading the 3d objects into a game engine, i have very limited experience with Unreal which I used their processing thingy (for lights and such)

[inland hornet]

I am taking help of Gemini

[vestal torrent]

Can you clarify what you mean by animating? Do you mean creating animations for individual rigs, or do you mean creating an animation?

[latent meadow]

perhaps get the basics sorted first. try the Pathways

👇

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[violet zinc]

I mean, creating a world (Eg a whole town or battlefield) And add moving 3d objects in the background. Then I record a footage and then import into Krita where I animate characters on top of it

[vestal torrent]

I understand, so what exactly is the question - are you asking whether to use unreal or unity?

[violet zinc]

yeah, what would be better to create a background with moving cameras to go around the scene?

As in

ease of learning

use and what has better shaders/lighting

I have 0 knowledge of 3d animation or anything like that so I want to learn the one

[vestal torrent]

Unless you're planning to add interactivity to procedurally make the animation, why not do it in Blender?

[violet zinc]

which would be better for it

[latent meadow]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[violet zinc]

Uhh, Honestly I have no idea what "add interactivity to procedurally make the animation" means 😭

[vestal torrent]

You should probably just stick to blender for making the animation then, it sounds like what you want can be done entirely within it

[violet zinc]

really? Does Unity or blender have real time fixing? (Will the scene be rendered as I move around to fix the stuff?

uhm, what I mean is

[vestal torrent]

You can preview what it would look like rendered in Blender, yes

[violet zinc]

ok, but not in blender right?

[vestal torrent]

I meant in blender

For unity you would need to use "HDRP" and use ray tracing - I don't know about how path tracing works in HDRP

[violet zinc]

huh, without having to wait for it to render? Unreal has real time rendering so I was wondering if Unity had that too

[vestal torrent]

Yes, use "Cycles" and the rendered preview mode

[violet zinc]

cheers

[vestal torrent]

This is what I mean by cycles v

You said this

[gray bloom]

is it possible to change how unity sort files and folders in the project explorer

[inland river]

not substantially, for advanced exploration you're expected to use the search window which allows you to sort/filter in many ways.

[gray bloom]

dang alr

[snow wagon]

I have a question: when it comes to making a game, what is the best way to inform the player the controls of the game without the need for a tutorial. I spoke to a peer who was playtesting my game and they said it was a good idea to have key bindings appear on the screen to show what inputs can be used where

[copper gust]

look at other games

[gray frigate]

show an explicit prompt the first few times the player is able to perform an action

e.g., the Batman Arkham games will display the "counter" button when you're getting attacked

you can stop showing the prompt once the player figures it out

[inland river]

there is no easy way to do this. Often times, different features need different treatment. if you retrofit this kind of thing into already completed code, you'll be in a lot of pain. The mitigation of that problem is a convention/pattern that all your systems follow to publish the information whether a given input action is currently possible and whether it should be announced to the player. some input hint presentation system can then read those and orchestrate the hits. then you need to decide how to announce these hints, typically the options are "always when available at the edge of the screen", "always directly where the action takes place (press E to interact)", "trigger tutorial/dialog when available the first time", "trigger infobox if unused for X time or N opportunities" + the settings-option to disable/reset these hints entirely.

[gray frigate]

I have something like that in my main game project. It is very convenient – I can get a list of all valid interactions (as well as invalid ones, and ask why they're invalid, even)

this made it very easy to show extra information the first few times an interaction appears

[inland river]

there are 1000 things like this any given game-project can solve systematically from the start, but thinking of all of them and making them compatible is itself a large undertaking.

usually any early idea/system for how to do it will run into late project confounders that make the system a PITA to use. and in the next project you do it better, just ending up with a lager PITA later in the project. and this cycle repeats until you retire (by which time the PITA is real and needs to be treated by a doctor).

[snow wagon]

😭😭. Very informative

[inland river]

avoiding the need for tutorials simplifies finishing a game a lot

so you're already on the right path 😄

[snow wagon]

I was at the MCM comicon in London and watching people play games and myself play games. From a developer perspective I thought about how these games presented themselves and how easy was it to understand and learn the game

[inland river]

yeah, its amazing how easy it looks until your try to do it with your game

[snow wagon]

Also playtesting is always interesting since you can never predict player behaviour. Like sure you can have an idea of what core loops people will fall into but seeing someone do the opposite of what you expected is humbling.

[inland river]

yeah, and also realising that explaining stuff does exactly nothing

[snow wagon]

I saw some kids play a game that I published on Steam via my university. I avoided telling them how to play and watched they did in the first level.

[snow wagon]

Literally

[inland river]

people are way smarter than anyone expects, and that smartness sometimes looks like stupidity, but in reality you just gave them affordances they saw differently than intended

[gray frigate]

users don't read

(and i'm a user)

[inland river]

you may want to play games by Atlus (metpahor, persona, shin megami tensei), they are designed around the idea that the player pays zero attention, stops playing for long periods of time and requires constant reminder about everything.

[inland river]

some dont, best strategy is to provide all modes of discovery.

[snow wagon]

What would you say is the best way to layout a HUD based on game genre. In my case my game is a dungeon crawler

[gray frigate]

now that's another hard question to answer 😉

[inland river]

split your screen into zones (corners, sides, middles) and assign them each a role (notification, actions, character live status, world/accounting, quests, hints, navigation etc.) then place your information into those zones and lay them out so the content stays within the zone. look at typical popular games in your genre to see what people expect and copy the locations. resisze the zones based on importance, place anchors cleverly and plan how info can grow.

[snow wagon]

That makes sense - thank you

[inland river]

principle: usually related info should be displayed close together.

[snow wagon]

I will take some time to design the HUD layout intentionally

[inland river]

means (example): put your mission timer next to the condition that needs to be achieved to win, not at the other end of the screen

put hints like "E to activate" right next to the object highlight, not at the edge of the screen. while WASD to move has no target on screen and can stay in a corner (or hidden). actions, their cost and the account to pay them need to be close together (blue mana flask, toolbar beside it, character model with a VFX right above + combat text showing the effect rise above the target)

or coins collected from a box fly from the box towards the coin-counter in the screen corner.

also note that the bottom left/right corners are usually dead-space that obstructs nothing interesting, so use them for opaque displays. and keep the left/right sides mostly clean of static info.

keep the top-bar very thin, people look mostly at the top half of the screen for "where to go" and "whats interesting in the world"

[snow wagon]

Tool tips that appear when the mouse hovers over something is crucial for me - I really wanna get good at making those. One thing I want to get right is text fitting in the panels and not going off it or causing sizing issues

[inland river]

tooltips need a proper abstraction that generalises well, then they are easy.

[snow wagon]

Do you make one tool tip prefab which scales with the information that is added to it or do u have different types?

[inland river]

usually you want components to implement IInspectionTooltip which some tooltip system calls on all objects currently under the cursor, each IInspectionTooltip component returns a VisualElement or CanvasGroup that gets injected into the tooltip container and returned/disposed when the pointer exits the object

[inland river]

depends on how you build them and which framework you use. the difficult bit is not the UI framewrok, its ensuring correctness, cleanup, no leaks, no proliferation of redundant prefabs for similar information.

[snow wagon]

I see

[inland river]

whichever way you go, note that you can make the info-provider return partial UI elements which you put into a container, or you can make a heavy tooltip system that only takes typed data and internally figures out how to lay it out

the latter one is nice for debug tools and systems-heavy games, the former one is more practical for games where each system needs wildly different tooltips or when you want to decouple tooltip-layout from tooltip-coordination.

[quasi lance]

Does anyone know about this project, Clean Multiplayer Pro?
Can I use it on Unity 6.4?

And can I change the characters as well?

[near wigeon]

something you should be asking the devs / read the license on the asset.
any project can be upgraded, whether or not that affects functionality highly depends on which packages they are using and if they are upgradable to newer verisons

[proper otter]

Perfect, thank you. I feel a lot calmer now haha. I already contacted them. Thanks so much ❤️

[exotic relic]

Wouldnt recommend it

What are you trying to create?

[dawn lily]

HI guys, I just made a Full body first person controller(non-shooter) cuz I don't see it much on the asset store except the immersive first person controller. It includes walk , sprinting , crouching , jumping , Foot IK , Edge Detection , Camera shake , Modularity. It also Includes a Wizard which makes you assign things like a player 3d prefab , all the required animations such as idle , walk , etc. and it has various settings which you can adjust as per your requirement , and it will create a player automatically in the scene with every single thing wired up(camera , animator , foot ik ,scripts , character controller, EVERYTHING). The Foot is also quite advanced as it includes edge detection , reach limits , and other things). I'm thinking of putting in on the asset store. I wanna put this on the store and them make another one of the same with much much more features including doors , ladders , drawers (many intereactions with the first person body) , etc. and then sell it in a pro version . Am i on the right track ?

[hardy halo]

hey does the unity ai assistant cost anything if i already have claude subscriptions?

[vivid river]

need this so much, the default docs install white theme is hard to work for like switching between IDE dark mode to the offline install is like flashbang

[pallid temple]

I am able to see tags here but in second image you can see Tag list is empty, how can i fix this?

[vivid river]

Those are default/premade the right side are custom ones

[near wigeon]

its not empty you just haven't added any..
those are default you can't touch those

[pallid temple]

GameController is default Tag ?

[near wigeon]

its fairly new but yes

what

[ornate dove]

ughhh

[near wigeon]

this isn't the place for that no.

[ornate dove]

dam, alr

[vivid river]

Just Take the Unity fps controller package from asset store slap a gun from asset store and make a simple shooter system

[ornate dove]

hmm, sounds like an idea

thanks!

[tall hearth]

you asking someone to do a school project for you?

[ornate dove]

more likely i need to make some essential screenshots for my project documentary but date was changed so i need to think of something real quick

sounds stupid but im a newbie here, i used to script on godot and i want to start doing something better

[tall hearth]

what? how does making another project help with getting screen shots for yours

[ornate dove]

i think i said it wrong, i thought if someone could give some useless or unfinished project and i will make some screenshots of scripts, scenes and etc.

not asking to someone do an entire game, just like asked if someone had one

[tall hearth]

hate to break it to you but unless your prof was a fool that wouldn't work out

[ornate dove]

anyways, i decided to try and do some barebones

hi!

[ivory flax]

Hello guys, what can block the movement other than slope and collider? i checked many times there is no collider there and slope is not an issue

meanwhile same room other side the player moves freely

[modest meteor]

try the physics debugger?

[ivory flax]

it is not working with me

[near adder]

Can you set a material as a skybox? I am folowing a tutorial to make a shader graph skybox and it requires me to drag the shader material into the skybox/scene but for some reason it does not work for me.

[ivory flax]

you should change the material shader type

[novel lichen]

I know it's so annyoing lol

I've been doing some research and I think I'm going to upgrade it to a complete reskin like how the "Wikiwand" chrome extension does for Wikipedia

[near adder]

the tutorial says to use a Unlit shader graph then click on it and create a material for some reason he could set it as the skybox but when I tried didn't work for me personaly

[gray dirge]

How so? It is the best way to figure out if there in fact is something blocking there

[ivory flax]

I think old unity can do this but new versions require skybox shader

[near adder]

makes sence the tutorial is 9 months old

what could I do to bypass this if there is anyway?

[plain dagger]

Yea you really need a skybox shader type which I dont think shader graph supports yet

unlit shaders kinda work and may work if you change its render queue

[near adder]

the closest thing I found is setting it as a shade skybox but then you have to script it manually

[plain dagger]

shaders done with code can do this easily but with graph no idea

and yea you may be able to force apply it but it may not function properly

[minor haven]

hello

[gray dirge]

Do you have this setting panel in your scene view?

[near adder]

I think I got an idea can't you view the code made in shader graphs right? Can I take that code and set it as the shader code for the procedual shader?

[plain dagger]

its not really in a editable format at that stage so unlikely

but making a skybox shader in code isnt too hard as its all unlit stuff

[near adder]

the problem is i'm not really experienced in even c# so I will probably unable to code my own shader.

[plain dagger]

What type of shader did you try with before? urp/hdrp unlit?

[near adder]

urp unlit

[plain dagger]

and you made a material, assigned the shader and then tried to use that material in the lighting settings?

[near adder]

No the tutorial said to just drag it into the skybox/scene.

[plain dagger]

it has to be a material you assign so try it correctly

It should work but you may have to either change the render queue value to be very high or very low to fix rendering issues

[dim valve]

where can i ask for help

[storm patio]

most channels here are help channels, ask in one appropriate to the issue you have #📑┃channel-directory

[near adder]

it says that material doesn't support skybox rendering

[dim valve]

ok cool ty

[plain dagger]

I guess that doesnt work anymore then or needs some other changes

[dim valve]

what would this be under? theres just a black box on half my screen

[storm patio]

#1390346776804069396, probably?

[dim valve]

ok ty

[near adder]

I think it worked even though unity says it's un supported

yep it did infact work evn though unity says it's unsupported

[ivory flax]

this helped a lot thanks, problem solved, i did a blockers in my scene to prevent player go beyond map edges as i had a desert in the game so and forgot to remove them sheesh

[fast latch]

Is there a way to create animal behavior or animal AI? Which one will go for a cow?

[ivory flax]

u need to make animations for each action like looking at ground or mowing and then link them by blend tree + state script

[gray dirge]

Everything is possible. You need to be much more specific on what you want if you need more specific help

[fast latch]

So I want them to like have a schedule in the morning they go out in the field around mid day to ebening they drink water and walk around and at night they go in the barn

[fast latch]

Yep! 😀 I am just thinking of attaching the asset and animation later but right now I just want to attach it to a capsule right now

[tepid horizon]

Has anyone else had problems with dragging materials onto objects and it applying to the wrong material slot on the mesh renderer?

This has happened more than once to me.. Pretty random, Unity 6000.3.12f1

[ivory flax]

It is because they are same object (joined) but faces are assigned to different materials so u have tow material slot but dragging will apply the material to whole object not faces

[tepid horizon]

Yeah but isnt it supposed to calculate the face you're dragging it onto and assign it to the material slot that owns it?

[gray dirge]

Some kind of state machine would be my first instinct. Make the state changes relate to the clock. Modeling the behaviour of individual animals like this wouldn't be too hard. If you need many cows to work as a herd and go together most of the time, then you need something more sophisticated (you could model the herd as one unit and then model the animals within separately)

[ivory flax]

No unity deals with objects not faces

u have to assign them in inspector if one object has multiple mats

[gray dirge]

Is that really so? I really thought dragging should work with submeshes too...

[tepid horizon]

im pretty sure its supposed to work

based on the face's material slot you're dragging it to

[gray dirge]

I'll try it quickly

[ivory flax]

could be an option to do but i don't think so

[fast latch]

Ahh alright! Cool cool! Yea I am trying to make like a farm scene and then one cow is like a shop or a dealer

And for the farmer do u recommend state machine too or how? As that is the enemy

[ivory flax]

state machine should be applied to all ais

if u want to control them easily

[ivory flax]

did u find out

[gray dirge]

seems to work for me just fine

To me that looks like a Unity bug unless there is something weird going on with the mesh.

[ivory flax]

u seem right! i did it myself and worked lol

[gray dirge]

You could try with some very simplified test mesh just to be sure it's not something wrong with the specific mesh (it could still be a bug which only activates with certain meshes). If it happens there too, you should probably file a bug report

[ivory flax]

i think he should try different materials, both look same color could be visual issue or smtg, try drag red material to horn

[gray dirge]

I really doubt there is anything like that going on. It just seem to not work like it is supposed to

[fast latch]

Thank you! I will look in how to make a state machine lol I never did it before lmao thank you!!

[tepid horizon]

probably issue with this specific unity version ig

[ivory flax]

can u send me the fbx of this i will see

[brisk anvil]

I have been getting these since upgrading to 6.3, anyone else? appears randomly when I am not using Unity, and Unity crashes right after.

except this specific time apperently, just pressed enter and it did not crash. no idea what is going on with this

Hello everyone! I’d love to know what kind of co-op multiplayer game you wish existed.

I'm currently experimenting with ideas for a multiplayer co-op game with:

• proximity voice chat
• social interactions
• funny + tense moments with friends

Would you prefer:

• pure co-op survival?
• extraction-style gameplay?
• social deception / impostor mechanics?
• horror?
• sandbox chaos?
• something completely different?

What would make a co-op game instantly interesting or memorable for you?

[willow quail]

hello guys i have a problem, i don't know how to import an asset to my project

anybody here?

[potent geyser]

Use the package manager

[willow quail]

how?

i mean like what exactly to do?

i want to import a 2d knight

[exotic relic]

Everyone likes their own thing. This sort of vote shouldn’t defy your project. Think about what you love, and make that.

[willow quail]

pixelated knight

fuuuuck! anyone here can fucking help?! im fucking waiting!

dead fucking server

[ivory flax]

hey im here

lol

first drag ur fbx object to ur assets folder

then drag it again from the asset folder

gotta be fbx

u can use different model types like blend glb etc but best is fbx

if 2d u mean sprite it is same thing drag the pic to assets

[willow quail]

ummmmm lemme try

[near wigeon]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

[willow quail]

ughh i don't know man

i don't know what the hell is going on on my screen

i can't do what you said

i just can't

[willow quail]

boring and isn't useful

i just wanna import a 2d model

png

[near wigeon]

learning the essentials is useful.
instead of just randomly clicking shit you learn the tools you plan on using

[willow quail]

there is alot of stuff on my screen but nothing seems useful to start with

[willow quail]

idk it's not useful man, better be a youtube tutorial

but couldn't find one

help guys

[ivory flax]

then i suggest you to learn the essentials like @near wigeon said you will learn more on the way and shorten ur time

[near wigeon]

they are video on demand by unity..
hows that any different than YT

[willow quail]

give course

[willow quail]

wait lemme see ur link even more

[ivory flax]

but for now here is how u do it

[near wigeon]

wait until the next question comes in

[ivory flax]

we all were there

[near wigeon]

Obvious mistakes is one thing when you're stuck, but blatantly not going through the basics of the tool you plan using and whine on DC is not the way
