[willow quail]

alright i caught the videos @near wigeon

i will watch them

[fair cove]

co-op

[willow quail]

@near wigeon

im looking for a 2d tutorial and not 3d

u see assets ?

[near wigeon]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/game-development

[willow quail]

i can't import shit on it

[ivory flax]

i literally did it from zero in the video

are u trolling

[willow quail]

wait

ohhh ok

i was sleepin

lemmme try

yeah i can't import it

i do the same but it doesn't want to be converted

it's a png file

WBS PNG

maybe that's the reason?

[ivory flax]

try a different png see if it works

[willow quail]

ohhh it FUCKING WORKED RIGHT NOW!

the problem was from the picture itself

thank you FUCKING much oh finally

it has to be a JPG picture, not png

got it

[ivory flax]

No, it can be jpg, png and different types

even svg

[willow quail]

idk, jpg worked out for me

[ivory flax]

send me the pic

[willow quail]

im just gonna use it

[willow quail]

my computer is ass it doesn't screenshot

[ivory flax]

If you want to make transparent images u need png

[ivory flax]

no i mean the pic itself

[willow quail]

i don't wanna make any transparent image

[willow quail]

hol on

this

[stuck flower]

So, you dont want this transparent?

[willow quail]

ohh ok

[stuck flower]

You want just a white or black square around it?

[willow quail]

'yea i want it transparent

idk man i want it transparent

[stuck flower]

If you want transparency, you'll need a file format that actually has an alpha channel, like PNG

[willow quail]

PNG doesn't work for me

what to do?

[ivory flax]

so what is this ?

[willow quail]

i don't know man, it didn't work for me

lemme try again

[ivory flax]

U didnt follow my steps that is it

[willow quail]

i do followed

[ivory flax]

check the video again

[willow quail]

i did follow

okay? it worked..

why?

i didn't do anything different

this program is a fucking troller

[stuck flower]

Spoiler alert: you didn't do the same thing as last time. You did it wrong before, and right this time

The program doesn't just decide to behave differently on a whim

[ripe sphinx]

is there anything like a linter for unity projects?

There's Resharper for C# files and it has unity specific checks

but i'm thinking more around things in the editor

best practices / opinionated warnings about standards for assets and things

[willow quail]

idk man

i have another problem

how can i drag and drop my sprite to the main screen?

it does not work

guuuuys?

[last scroll]

Just upgraded to unity 6, and for some reason it’s running rather slow compared to 2023. Any reason why? By slow I mean frame issues in a blank project

[stuck flower]

It's been literally less than a minute please stop doing this

[willow quail]

yall aren't here idk what do yall do other than speaking on discord

what should i do now?

[stuck flower]

You wait

[ripe sphinx]

i have a project in Unity 2022. I'm going to upgrade to LTS sometime end of the summer

[willow quail]

can you just help me now?

how can i drag and drop

it doesn't want to do that

[ripe sphinx]

why are you tagged with an educator role?

[stuck flower]

I've decided I'd rather not deal with this if you're going to spam the channel if I take more then twelve seconds to respond

[willow quail]

your making a mistake

[ripe sphinx]

you're

[stuck flower]

If the unspoken question here is "will that have any problems" then I'd say "possibly, so make a backup first"

You will probably need to update a few packages and some of them have had major changes

[ripe sphinx]

there is no question

i'm just saying

[ivory flax]

drag and drop meant to be for 3d assets it goes to world transform not recttransform

[ripe sphinx]

i know ill need to backup and that it's likely a shitshow

but that's a later problem

[stuck flower]

If you were using cinemachine be prepared for some changes. V3 changes a lot of the class names and overall structure

[willow quail]

idk that shitty youtube tutorial did it, it;s an older version of unity altho it's just one year

what am i supposed to do now?

i feel like i need a guy who sits with me and wok on a project himself, like shadowing, but i have no fucking body bro

they are all boring people

im the only one who is doing these kind of stuff

[ripe sphinx]

dawg you're an educator?

lmao what?

[ivory flax]

u are supposed to go watch tutorials for beginners on youtube and do the same

[willow quail]

there aren't i swear

they are all old

find me some

[willow quail]

im not an educator im a shituator

[ivory flax]

it wont matter unity basics still the same

[willow quail]

idk what ur talking about

guuys how cna i put my fucking sprite on the damn screen?

i didn't even smade anything fom my ga,me and started to feel horrible

[ripe sphinx]

ask ai

[willow quail]

ai is stupid

i asked it

wasn't useful

idk what to do now

[ripe sphinx]

for bsaic stuff it's not

[willow quail]

ask it urself and let's see what it tells you

[ripe sphinx]

it's been useful a bit for some unity stuff as a first step idk

[willow quail]

it's not useful to me

now i sat the fuck down staring at my screen

[ripe sphinx]

🤷

[willow quail]

what the fuck should i fucking do?

i hate computer programs they so complicated for no reason

just let me drag and drop 2d sprite you piece of shit

[ripe sphinx]

go for a walk

calm the fuck down

[willow quail]

i don't need one, thanks, i am just gonna sit and stare at the screen

[near wigeon]

you can quit spamming the channel though

[candid yoke]

if u hate computer programs why are u trying to make one?

[willow quail]

cuz i need to, my project needs to

[candid yoke]

school project?

[willow quail]

no, it is a personal project and i wanna do it

it might become an actual game

school is too stupid to ask for something like that, im saudi

[candid yoke]

then I'd advice you to start small
the built in "essential pathway learning" in Unity is a good way to start, you wont learn how to create an actual game, but at least you wont be lost in the unity interface

[willow quail]

i am starting small, the game i am making now is a simple 2d medivel game or whatever, saw it on youtube

it;s not my actual idea and still things don't work

[candid yoke]

sure but you struggle with a drag and drop, which most likely means u're having troubles with the UI of Unity
so thats why I think you should start with learning how to use it with that pathway

[willow quail]

Ok

[void creek]

lmao

[ivory flax]

Brother haven’t tried blender yet haha he would be dying of rage

[cold rock]

How do i make my text mesh pro a plain white not emmiting?

[cobalt lava]

Hello does any1 know how to get these type of ball phsics https://youtube.com/shorts/yvqsN3EiEFE?si=hJQ2Ca2LmSql0e0q

[ivory flax]

Didn’t understand ur question

[cold rock]

heres an example - i cant explain it well but the default 255 255 255 white on material is less emissive than the text mesh pro one - how do i change the text mesh pro to be less glowy?

[ivory flax]

change the color !

[cobalt lava]

Im very. New to unity

How much can it cost to publish ur 2d game to playstore

[cold rock]

i dont think you understand my text mesh pro is 255 255 255 - same color as my material

[ivory flax]

u are not explaining enough. give more images or clarify more so i can help you. normally, color of the tmp is actually white not emisive but if u have diferent color like opaqe in another material the issue in the material itself

[cold rock]

My Material and text mesh pro - Yet the text has an emission - i see this setting but not sure how to remove it

[exotic relic]

$25

[cobalt lava]

Ok nice

[ivory flax]

check your global volume if it has bloom enabled if u use postprocess

[cold rock]

no i dont

it has the emission setting on the text mesh pro material so i think thats why just not sure how to disable it

[ivory flax]

glow is on?

[copper gust]

did you not enable it?

[ivory flax]

disable this

[cold rock]

nah

[copper gust]

are you sure the text is emmisive

[cold rock]

maybe im using the wrong terminolgy

[ivory flax]

i barely see any emission though like make a legacy text not tmp and see if there is any difference

[copper gust]

It’s hard to tell with such a cropped image

[cold rock]

i just want the white material color to be the same as on the text mesh pro

[ivory flax]

u mean the material that is applied to the cart?

[cold rock]

correct

[cobalt lava]

Hi

[ivory flax]

show me the material properties

[cobalt lava]

Can we build as an apk?

[cold rock]

of the cart?

[ivory flax]

no. the material of the cart

not the cart itself

[copper gust]

have you googled that

[ivory flax]

enable emission and adjust the value of it if u want it emissive.

i though the whole time u are dealing with sprites

[cold rock]

no but i want it the other way round i want the text mesh pro to have no emissive effect

[ivory flax]

u are confusing me

[cold rock]

see how the text mesh pro is brighter?

[ivory flax]

remove the specular highlight and environment but what environment u working on 2d or 3d?. u mention text mesh pro and u have lit material

are u using 3d text mesh pro ?

[cold rock]

3d text mesh pro

[ivory flax]

well that screenshot should be bigger next time so we know

[copper gust]

until it shows more clearly that its a gorilla tag thing 😛

[pseudo star]

does anyone know why my graph inspector wont show up in the shader graph editor????

there are buttons in the top right that show/hide different log levels

that's the inspector

check the top right of the console window

[pastel agate]

Hello,

I have a Unity assignment that's due in 1 hour and 34 minutes. I've just completed my game and am trying to build it for submission, but I am getting the following CS0246 errors
A few days ago OneDrive deleted my Unity files and I had to reinstall the packages. I thought everything was functioning again, until right now

I'm trying to find the specific files listed but I can't seem to find them...

[copper gust]

It's very possible the solution to this involves completely remaking your project from scratch

[pastel agate]

I have to transfer everything into a brand new Unity project...?

[copper gust]

Potentially

It's probably worth reaching out to whoever is in charge of your assignments

[pastel agate]

I'm trying to export my current project as a Unity Package to import into an empty project, but it's not letting me save: I keep clicking Save, but nothing is happening

[copper gust]

I meant more like

not all in one go

this isn’t an easy nor quick thing to do

[pastel agate]

Like manually dragging the necessary files and folders into the empty project?

[copper gust]

Yeah but it’s probably even more involved then that tbh

[sweet tartan]

do you really need the samples? it looks like you either deleted the assembly definition that those samples should be in, or moved them out of an Editor folder

[copper gust]

OneDrive corruption with no version control is rough to fix because it can be hard to understand and diagnose what problems it caused

[pastel agate]

I see... looks like I'll have to reach out to my instructor, explain the situation, submit my current project, and hope for the best

[sweet tartan]

Don't do that yet, this should be easily fixed if there isn't anything else wrong and especially if it's only when building

[pastel agate]

The errors only occur when I try to build

[sweet tartan]

then look at those scripts. If they're unused, you can just comment them out or delete them. If they're used, check if they mix editor-only code with runtime code. If they do, use #ifdef UNITY_EDITOR guards around the editor-only code. If they don't and they're truly editor-only, move them into an Editor folder or create an assembly definition for them that includes only the editor

my guess, based on the name, is that they're editor only scripts. IF so, the simplest solution is to create a folder at Assets/Samples/Scriptable Render Piepline Core/17.4.0/RendererShaderUserValue_Common/Scripts called Editor and drag them into that folder

[pastel agate]

I commented out "[MenuItem("Tools/Vertex Animation Texture Baker")]"
This one error remains

I have never used #ifdef before. How and where do I type it?

[sweet tartan]

that whole class probably inherits from editor window. So if you want to use #ifdef to solve this, surround the entire script

#ifdef UNITY_EDITOR
using statements here ...
public class VertexAnimationTextureBaker : EditorWindow {
  ... implementation
}
#endif

[pastel agate]

I made an Editor folder, dragged the script inside, and tried building, and it looks like it's working now

It built!

Thank you so much 😁

[proud dew]

is my game tittle looking good?

i really really need alot of shadowing in this field

i wish someone of my friends or siblings was a real game dev

[boreal river]

hey, guys! Why my pivot doesn't stay at the position I am telling it to stay?

[pearl oyster]

It does, but the widget isn't showing the pivot. Change this to "pivot"

[boreal river]

ok thanks!

also I have another question. Is it better to create my door rotation with animations or using game math?

basically what I do is to use animations whenever I want to rotate but yes maybe its better using game math?

or its just extra effort without a reason

[copper gust]

preference

[boreal river]

I would like to try making my doors rotate using math btw what do you recommend can I try?

[copper gust]

i imagine your aware of lerps which is pretty much what this just comes down to, you can use this site to see how to do them "correctly" https://unity.huh.how/lerp

after that it turns from "doing it" to "doing it well" in which you'd be looking at stuff tailored both for animators directly and maybe stuff like assets like FEEL for reference on how to give life to animations

[vivid river]

Keep me posted

is the store being a PITA for everyone or just my luck?

this would almost be funny if it wasn't so tragically indicative. no allowed to have google blocked if you want the store to load a page.

[tawdry nebula]

unity urp unity 6000.3.6f1
only directional lights work others like spot and area dont i havent modifed settings at all

[willow mica]

What is given for the boostthis server?

[potent geyser]

Nothing

[queen minnow]

Why is my player object not showing as if its like inside the Background? surely its the Z axis, but does it even work if theyre all 0?

My other friend, had his on all 0 Z-axis and didnt even used the sorting layer, which led me questioning as of how

[storm patio]

set them on separate sorting layers

it's probably whichever is first in the hierarchy or whichever has a lower id or was created first or something like that if it's perfectly ambiguous

[queen minnow]

i did created the BG first before the character, but i simply deleted that and added a new one, but didnt showed the character....

the OrderInLayer option kindda fixed it, but its weird that my friend didnt even used any of those nor the sorting layer

[dawn lily]

Hi guys,
Made a full body first person controller but I don't know where to get the animations from..I wanna sell it on the asset store but mixamo doesn't allow it..Also CC by 4.0 is also denied often..I have 0 knowledge of making good quality character animations. Where do I get them (also I don't have the money rn to buy them)?

[storm patio]

if you do stuff incorrectly you can get unreliable results, yeah

[pearl oyster]

It shouldn't be that surprising that finding stuff for free that you could then sell on for money isn't very easy. If you can't make them yourself, and you can't pay for someone to make them, your best bet is to trick someone into making them for a share of the asset's profits

[willow quail]

i have downloaded dynamic snow system on unity but don't know how to exactly use it

any advice?

also how can i becoem the camera in unity?

[storm patio]

if you mean implementing first person, then try looking up tutorials for that

[willow quail]

guys how can i import a fbx model into blender?

i can't find them in files when importing

[potent geyser]

Just drag the files into your project tab, or you can put them directly into the asset folder in outside of Unity.

[pallid temple]

If i want to Apply Crt effect on uitoolkit ui, whats the best way to do that?

[livid aurora]

Does anyone know how I get a file of a game

[potent geyser]

Asset ripping conversations are not allowed here

[livid aurora]

Oh I was saying that because I was trying to get my old game file to a new project

[potent geyser]

It still involves the same process, which is not allowed unfortunately.

[near wigeon]

I think you have to apply a shader specifically for UITK items https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/ui-systems/get-started-with-ui-shader-graph.html

[warm crag]

what is the best way to learn unity particles system?

[near wigeon]

tutorials?

depends also on the usecase. In most instances the Visual Effects Graph is way more powerful

[ripe osprey]

Question: what's the difference between adding force and changing the vertical velocity for Jumping???

[near wigeon]

well for starters one them account for things like Mass and the other doesn't
assuming you mean ForceMode.Impulse

[tall hearth]

Another thing is the latter overrides any other velocities each time it's changed

[ripe osprey]

yeah, I'm referring of ForceMode.Impulse

[near wigeon]

yea velocity is an instant thing (erasing all previous values), AddForce is usually "Additive Force"
if you're jumping while falling it may not Jump the same height so usually resetting vertical velocity is how its restored

[ripe osprey]

so the context of when use each it depends of the type of game that is being made

or also the mechanics I want to include

[near wigeon]

more about the "feel" of things

both can be used for a platformer, but will feel different for sure

[ripe osprey]

hmmmm alright

thanks!

[surreal nexus]

if I wanted to make say, a cable that sways when the player brushes past it, would it be better to add some kind of weight in blender, or a collider and script in unity?

[willow quail]

hello , i am currently working on a game using unity and blender, nbut i feel so numb and bored during the process altho the game's idea is actually good, i am rigging characters in blender right now and it feels so freaking boring but i have to go, i don't even have anything else other than that hobby, how can i romanticize and enjoy the process?

[surreal nexus]

to be honest, I usually listen to music or have the tv going in the background whenever I feel bored.

[worldly cave]

You cant really "romanticize" it the way you imagine, but its normal to feel burned out and bored when working on a project, however theres always highs and lows with development

[near wigeon]

You guys have time to be bored ?

[willow quail]

someone said i will spend some time on rule34 lol

[worldly cave]

not the server for that kind of talk

[willow quail]

it's all lowes since i started, i only enjoyed the research part for the game

[ripe osprey]

how the hell do I use modmail? need to report an user

[willow quail]

recommend music, i mostly enjoy electric and eurodance music but idk recommend anything

[worldly cave]

If im not wrong i think you dm the modmail bot?

[potent geyser]

DM it

[ripe osprey]

i did

[potent geyser]

Well, nothing came through. You can use #1161868835423526933 instead.

[tall hearth]

I think you need to send a second message the same happened to me where my first message was ignored by it and only the second time that i sent did it go through

[ripe osprey]

keeps sending me this, and yes I did click for verifiying

nothing happens

[tall hearth]

Is it openning on your browser and you just didn't notice?

[ripe osprey]

it did

yes

but nothing else happens

just get's stuck in "redirecting..."

[tall hearth]

And you arent closing too fast?

[ripe osprey]

nope

left it there at least a minute

idk if it because I'm using firefox (I doubt it tho)

[tall hearth]

Could be a browser issue then, i'd recommend just doing what osteel suggested and make the report in #1161868835423526933

[ripe osprey]

a-okay then, thanks!

[indigo coral]

Hi everyone, when I start a new project, the package manager takes over 10 minutes to install my assets and often gives an error... Is there a way to fix this?

[near wigeon]

whats the error say?

[near wigeon]

are you signed in unity hub ? if so log out / log back in, close and open unity
do you have firewall blocking ? good connection ? etc.

its odd that "In Project" isn't working tough since that should be local 🤔 (maybe it still contacts the registry b4?)

[indigo coral]

I'll try logging out of Unity Hub and logging back in. My connection is 1000/1000Mbps.

[near wigeon]

I mean more like vpns or anything?
if fails you can also try this tool.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-network.html

[indigo coral]

Okay, thank you for your interest.

[cerulean whale]

(Sorry if its a wrong channel for that, I'm new and I don't know these channels yet) Hi, today I wanted to download unity, but every time when I try to install Editor Application it says Install failed: Installation Failed, I tried refreshing it etc but its still the same error, every time this error appears, my disk space is filling up, as if something was installing. How can I fix it?

[near wigeon]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[dawn lily]

hmm true

[indigo coral]

🙁 Dealing with these mistakes has really worn me out lately...

[near wigeon]

which version of unity are you using?

[indigo coral]

6000.3.13f1

[near wigeon]

did you try log out and login like I suggested earlier ?

[indigo coral]

yes, i did

[near wigeon]

if its not something serverside, maybe you can close unity project, delete Library folder, open project and let it rebuild again on open. You need to open your old scene again cause it starts with a untitled one.

[indigo coral]

Okay, I'll try it right away.

[tepid horizon]

so im even more confused, dealing with this specific issue from yesterday. except i tried now upgrading to unity 6000.4.8f1 and there's no difference. still happening

meanwhile someone else (here) imported my same model and didnt have the issue

[somber wharf]

have tried fixing this for way to long, no matter what I do it takes me back to this error, can someone help me

[near wigeon]

You can't add a non-component/behavior on a gameobject

it tells you exactly what is wrong

[somber wharf]

its a c# script

[potent geyser]

It still has to derive from a MonoBehaviour

[near wigeon]

that doesn't change anything

[somber wharf]

yeah....

[tepid horizon]

think im just gonna make a bug report considering nothing seems to make a difference

[near wigeon]

do you know what derive from means?

[tepid horizon]

Your class needs to be structured like this

[public/private/nothing] class [name] : [derivitive]
{
}```

in this case you're trying to place the script on a gameobject and it requires it to derive from monobehavior. so the derivitive would be MonoBehavior

[tall hearth]

Aint the term called inherit?

[near wigeon]

inherit , derive . Tomato . Tomato

[tepid horizon]

In coding, "derive" means to generate or extract new data, features, or behaviors from existing ones. You're creating a class named FuckingWork which is based off of the MonoBehavior class which gives you logic like Start Update LateUpdate OnTriggerEnter.

Hope that helps ya

[near wigeon]

bro is just pasting AI answers xD

[tepid horizon]

I'm not?

[ripe sphinx]

I'm trying to debug a bunch of errors on startup. How might i figure out what asset is complaining here?

[tepid horizon]

I'm sorry you can't structure your answers in a neat and tidy way 😭

The only thing that was outsourced there was what I put in here which was pulled from google as a definition

[near wigeon]

seems to be the editor shittin itself

[somber wharf]

thats exactly what i have writen tho..

[tall hearth]

So from ai ~_~

[ripe sphinx]

it only appeared after i cahnged some setting but i'm nto sure what

[tepid horizon]

You might have compilation errors then, I suggest continuing any coding related convo in #💻┃code-beginner

[tepid horizon]

Okay?

Wow one single line, a definition.

??? Like what

[near wigeon]

do you have version control maybe tracks of what changed?

[ripe sphinx]

yeah i'm reverting now

the diff for this particular scene is useless because it's a bunch of xaml

but i have a few other questions

[indigo coral]

I deleted the Library folder. I reopened the project, and it took about 10 minutes for the library to be recreated. But the result is still the same.

[tall hearth]

Just saying the code of conduct says not to post ai answers here without verification and disclosing it as such.

[ivory flax]

Upgrade the Unity version

[ivory flax]

i use this and works fine

[indigo coral]

i will try

[ivory flax]

i remember having issue with ur version that made me update the editor

[indigo coral]

So, is the new version stable?

[ivory flax]

this one yes

[indigo coral]

thank you, i will try now

[tall hearth]

i use this one too and haven't noticed many bugs

[near wigeon]

not sure going from LTS to "Supported" is good long run

if its not a important projects / plan on upgrading later anyway and are ok with potential breaking changes..ig

[tall hearth]

could blame unity on this one they the ones recommending the Supported over LTS

[near wigeon]

its tricky wording for sure..
it should at least come in with a message

"this version is no longer updated when 6.5 comes" etc.

[tepid horizon]

Brother WHAT are you talking about

[near wigeon]

if people posted answers from AI willy nilly this would be a slop fest instead of community -curated server

[tepid horizon]

It's a fucking google definition of the word "Derive" so everyone can be on the same page of it's meaning.

[tall hearth]

i'm talking about the fact that you used information you've got from an ai as truth, show me from a trusted source that the term "derive" in programming means "to generate or extract new data, features, or behaviors from existing ones."

[tepid horizon]

How are you getting pissy at someone for googling "Definition of derive" and copy pasting it inside of a markdown box

[tepid horizon]

You cannot be serious

[near wigeon]

we can just move on, just be aware of the rule . Its no big deal

[tepid horizon]

99.9% of things said in here are not from trusted sources they are from past knowledge

Which may or may not be true

Get outta here 😂

[honest saddle]

Why isn't the sprite sorting dynamically? I have the URP Custom Axis Transparency to (0, 1, 0).
**The Obstacle(Tree) tilemap here should be appearing in the front right? **
I have been trying to find out why this issue is happening, but I am not sure why. Any thoughts or Solutions?

[tall hearth]

im just saying that the term has a different meaning in programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_derivation

[near wigeon]

first of all you should let OP at least come to their own conclusions / searches before just slapping definitions from the net..

[tepid horizon]

I'm sorry you're getting mad at me for giving a thorough explanation with definition?

[near wigeon]

no one is getting mad tho

[tepid horizon]

🤦‍♂️ Brother programming derivation is the same as "to generate or extract new data, features, or behaviors from existing ones."

Deriving something is deriving something

[near wigeon]

its a simple misunderstanding so we can just like get back to the servers help topics?

[tepid horizon]

Says the 2 guys that brought it up 🙄 ok move on

[storm patio]

the tilemap renderer is set to sort on bottom left, and it seems like maybe the bottom left of the tree is below the center of the player? might want to change that setting

[tall hearth]

you're giving terms wrong names is all im saying this leads to confusing later, like if i came in and asked "how can i make my method take in any variable?" instead of "how can make my method generic?" it's gonna take more time for those here that'd help to understand what i mean

[tepid horizon]

I'd love for you to explain to me how I gave it the wrong name or gave the wrong terminology

[potent geyser]

Make a thread and debate please, it's just noise now.

[tepid horizon]

Move on or dm me 😄

[tall hearth]

the correct word is "inheritiance" is all

[honest saddle]

Playing around with that setting is doing nothing for my issue. Thanks for that insight though!

[tepid horizon]

Move on or dm me 😄

[storm patio]

perhaps check your player and tile pivots, make sure they're set up sensibly

[ripe sphinx]

I'm trying to debug why unity is throwing a null reference exception on a dropdown

this is the code for the dropdown (it's an external asset, not my code)

[storm patio]

when A inherits from B, it can be said that an instance of A derives from B as well

[tall hearth]

it could yes but this goes back to understanding as i gave in my example.

[ripe sphinx]

it's complaining about the highlighted line

[storm patio]

damn, sniped my question lmao

[storm patio]

an arbitrary instance of a class is very often referred to by just its class name, i think this is kind of a moot point

[storm patio]

🤨 it not erroring on the previous line seems to imply that contentCG.gameObject is null, which shouldn't normally happen
is this happening when exiting playmode or changing scenes or something?

[ripe sphinx]

when changing scenes

or rather

no

it's happening on startup

and then whenever i change to the window

with hat dropdown

[tepid horizon]

Anyway once more before I make a bug report does anyone know why this is happening, tried across 2 different unity versions. And someone else on another pc and unity version tried it and it worked fine for them.

[storm patio]

why what's happening? im confused what the incorrect behavior is

[ripe sphinx]

contentCG is ItemList. This is the layout inthe hierarachy

[tepid horizon]

when i drag the material onto the metal part of the hat it's changing the horns

this is incorrect behavior

[near wigeon]

what are we looking at ?

[storm patio]

the folks in #1390346776804069396 might be able to answer that, they'd probably deal with similar stuff more?

(kinda guessing, i don't really go there lol)

[near wigeon]

probably how UV is mapped

[tepid horizon]

❌

Handed the fbx to another guy in here and he imported it into his unity and it worked fine dragging the materials

[ripe sphinx]

a layout for a dropdown from a custom asset

[tepid horizon]

No matter what I do it forcefully applies the change to "Element 0" and not the material slot associated with the face it is dragged onto like it should

[near wigeon]

oh so its not working or ?

[gray frigate]

this wouldn't care about UVs anyway – it's checking which submesh you hit

I can't say I've ever had that problem. I have noticed that clicking on materials in the renderer's material list rarely highlights the right area in red

[tall hearth]

Is it just this one object? And have your tried re-importing it?

[tepid horizon]

Yes one object

[gray frigate]

I would try making a copy of the model and seeing if it still misbehaves

Unlikely to change anything, but it's quick :p

(as in, copy the FBX)

[tepid horizon]

Same issue occurs after copying the fbx again and reimporting.

I've dealt with this issue before

Which is why I thought changing unity version would help, to no avail.

[gray frigate]

What versions have you tried?

[ripe sphinx]

the dropdown is working but it throws these errors

and i don't know why

[tepid horizon]

6000.3.12f1
and now 6000.4.8f1

[ripe sphinx]

and it's affecting hte rendering on another screen

[tepid horizon]

I sent the exact same fbx to another guy and he recorded doing the same thing, no issues.

[near wigeon]

which line errors? i only see it stopped at that breakpoint

also this is sketchy

even IF that Find line runs is not guaranteed it found anything and the next line would be nullRef

[storm patio]

the next line uses contentCG though

[tepid horizon]

Yeah.. If it's null then access it 😂 That'd be a problem, not sure if that is specifically what is causing the existing error but

[near wigeon]

I'm saying if it didnt find it it would easily break, its pretty weak code.
Not seeing the error OP is referring to

[storm patio]

(the if is saying if it's null then assign it, not access it)

[ripe sphinx]

nvm i figured it out

there's some bullshit flag turend on

[tepid horizon]

Oh brainfart

[ripe sphinx]

idk why

[tepid horizon]

That's fine as long as contentCG is initialized prior

[ripe sphinx]

yeah

idk i never wrote that code

[near wigeon]

Is there a reason they wrote Find ? thats a pretty horrid function to use

considering its on a child object it couldve easily been a serializedreference

[storm patio]

is this uitk?

[crisp geode]

ye

[near wigeon]

#🧰┃ui-toolkit

[crisp geode]

thx

[ripe sphinx]

the issues continue

i'm so frustrated

[near wigeon]

can you show which error and what line, also in code channel

[ripe sphinx]

nvm i got it

[severe terrace]

Issues will happen often, just be patient and usually you'll figure it out eventually

Hello, I'm trying to put all the materials, based on the blender's project. I have multiple materials for my character, but I'm not able to separate the selections from the unity's one.

[worldly cave]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[worldly cave]

this might be wishful thinking but is there any way to copy renderer features and their overrides from one renderer data to another?

i created a few preset ones for my project and realize ive basically been creating my renderer feature stacks exclusively in the highest quality one...

[near wigeon]

custom editor code probably

didn't unity used to have presets you can do ? whatever happened to that

[worldly cave]

man at this point its either spending an hour automating it or doing it by hand in like 5 minutes

time to automate

[near wigeon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.6/Documentation/Manual/presets-creating-using.html
too bad this doesn't work on it probably because its a SO?

[final surge]

Hi Hi !!!

[pallid rampart]

how do i fix texture stretching fast without destretching wall itself

tiling ruins normal ones

[worldly cave]

hello #🌱┃start-here

[near wigeon]

probuilder

it has some UV tooling

[pallid rampart]

Whats that

[near wigeon]

#🛠️┃probuilder

[pallid rampart]

How can it be used for procedural map generation isn't that for handmade maps

[near wigeon]

oh genmaps idk then

probably best asked in #1390346776804069396 #1390346827005431951

[pallid rampart]

And my uv is already good

Problem is that I stretch wall

[near wigeon]

yeah no idea.
..stretching meshes always messes stuff tho

[final surge]

where would i go to ask for help regarding assets for VRChat Models ? im having trouble with a pair of overalls going on my model and i cant for the life of me figure it out. ive tried online and playing around with it myself, and nothin.

[glossy topaz]

why unity left my gun animations?

[ivory flax]

I blender u can stretch the wall while correct face attribute checked so it wont stretch

[pallid rampart]

I did that

[ivory flax]

https://youtube.com/shorts/OohkJmReZ0g?si=-Hl1KZE1Pys2lX-q

[pallid rampart]

And then I stretched in unity

[ivory flax]

Then apply transform after u finish

[pallid rampart]

That's in blender

[tall hearth]

why are you stretching your mesh?

[ivory flax]

Also check if the object has multiple uvmaps remove the unwanted map or in ur prefab go to model then swap uvmaps

[pallid rampart]

Which I did (in blender)

[ivory flax]

When u export it from blender make sure to check the apply transform also

[pallid rampart]

Because I'm making infinite backrooms game so I modeled 1 piece of wall and used script to generate chunks using that and then put infinite chunks

[ivory flax]

Maybe ur script changes the tiling

[pallid rampart]

Yes, that's why I'm here

I import in unity and it's normal

[ivory flax]

Ur script stretching like changes the scale? Ofc it will strech the wall texture

It should add the fixed wall many times instead of stretching

[pallid rampart]

Sounds practical until you generate billions of them

And overextend them

[ivory flax]

Then u are supposed to make these billions in blender then wxport it at once

[pallid rampart]

Then it causes flickering

[ivory flax]

Blender is easier than unity in making big environments

It has arrays mirrors etc

[pallid rampart]

Blender uses python so I can't do that and in blender I just asking texture to cube and use cube to pattern it on my actual mesh

Which generates new tiles of same pattern when stretched

[pallid rampart]

I also made main part but it's not infinite in blender

[near adder]

Hello, this isn't really causing issues or is it a bug in my code, but lately i've been hit with the error of not being able to verify my token. It's kinda anoying so I was wondering how do I fix it?

[edgy bluff]

The character gets pushed or simply slides off the platforms if you don't move to compensate. How would I go about making the character stick on the moving platforms while conserving colliders? Do I need to implement some sort of snap mechanic?

[near wigeon]

use the velocity of the platform into your movement code

[edgy bluff]

Ok, that should work even if the movement is an animation itself right?

[worldly cave]

do you mean root motion?

[near wigeon]

what like root motion?

[edgy bluff]

Adding Y and Xvelocity to the character

[worldly cave]

you're basically doing: Total Velocity = Player Movement + Platform's Velocity

[edgy bluff]

Ok that should do. Not root motion. But it is a rig.

[near wigeon]

for up/down you may need to disable gravity till you jump again

[worldly cave]

what do you mean by that?

if you arent using root motion, your character animations have 0 say in how you handle movement

[edgy bluff]

No root motion for the platforms. The character is rigged, yes. But the platforms as well.

The gravity disabling is a nice catch.

[worldly cave]

so long as the platforms have colliders nothing is different

also ensure that if you have some kind of ground detection logic with Layers, that the moving platforms are also under that particular layer

[edgy bluff]

Yeah, figures. Thanks!

The platforms are in the "ground" layer I created.

I guess I do need some sleep x) Raw dogging it with coffee has done me no good.

[rustic kettle]

Hey anybody is here who could like help me understand Unity DevOps a little if they have a regular use experience with it.

[near wigeon]

https://dontasktoask.com

[rustic kettle]

Ig I should know if there is someday so I don't waste my time explaining a problem where there is nobody to solve it.

[frigid glade]

How far have you got? What don't you understand?

[rustic kettle]

So I have like 7.5gb of data overall my DevOps, and it's untouched for the whole month. And as far as I can remember the storage was increased to 25gb for free tier, it is giving me alerts today that ur data will be deleted in 24hours

[frigid glade]

oh

[rustic kettle]

Actually it is worse than before cuz previously it used to give alerts on 50% or 75% or 90% usage

[frigid glade]

billing problem?

[rustic kettle]

And also the dashboard just says 0/25 gb used.

Like it's just terrible to understand at this point what is going on with it

[rustic kettle]

There shouldn't be a billing problem on free plan

[frigid glade]

This sounds very rare

never heard of a problem like this before, have you checked all your storage? Does anyone else have access to your DevOps?

[rustic kettle]

So actually what happened before they increased the tiers is that I exceeded the storage limit which was ig 5gb at that time. And I added my card, enabled pay as u go and it showed in the charts that I have some money to pay and then there was this terrible crash happened on their dashboard and everything all the metrics messed up. And I waited and waited that money will get deducted from my card, nothing happened. I contacted the support that why money isn't deducted and they said u don't have any pending payment.

[frigid glade]

It doesn't quite make sense what you are saying and if it needs to delete your data I'm think why the hell would that happen?

[rustic kettle]

Got this email today

[soft canopy]

Hi so how can I make a chain between 2 objects as when I try using rigid bodies the chain kept splitting apart

[rustic kettle]

No prior warning

[frigid glade]

Sorry but this sounds very dramatic and weird

That's possibly not from Unity

[rustic kettle]

It is, it says the same warning in the dashboard

[frigid glade]

well people who have experience cannot help you, this is a problem that seems to happen to you

There is no rule that justifies deleting all your data unless you were on a free trial

You should check it out!

Oh I meant people of experience with DevOps

[rustic kettle]

Btw the screenshot from the Unity dashboard notification

[frigid glade]

Can anyone confirm that?

[copper gust]

I don't think anyone here will be able to help you in the context of this needing to be solved today. Unity Support is probably your only bet

[frigid glade]

It seems that shouldn't and doesn't happen

[copper gust]

it feels like you've just told him "it shouldn't happen" 30 times with no actual help ngl

[frigid glade]

It makes no difference how full your data is

[copper gust]

if you don't understand the issue you dont need to respond

[frigid glade]

I understand the issue, I just don't have a solution

I'm confused to be fair why Unity would delete his data because he reached a cap

[rustic kettle]

Btw, it doesn't say about deleting the data if u look at the old notifications

[frigid glade]

I know

[rustic kettle]

I guess I have to contact the support now, they are super slow as well

[frigid glade]

Yes, case closed.

[rustic kettle]

Thanks for looking into this matter

[soft canopy]

So I have this chain i want to move between these 2 points any ideas how?

Both points also move around alot

[tall hearth]

11 frames and the profiler used 11GB of ram ~_~

[tardy ridge]

deep profile?

[tall hearth]

yeah i can assume why it happened

[exotic relic]

Its ok. Sometimes I create things that cost that even with the profiler closed 🫢 🤣

[tall hearth]

lol when i first tried to make this marching cube project, i ended up using 21GB without the profiler

[hearty idol]

teach them to walk

[slow dirge]

Probably more than that, as it actively swaps to disk too.
Very likely to be a memory leak in your implementation.

[tall hearth]

well i figured it was from me trying to use async await with 512 methods in those 11 frames but memory leak could be it too

[near wigeon]

why so many await

[tall hearth]

well there was one per instance of a march cube class (so one per chunk of terrain) and there were 512 chunks

i was testing it over just running it all on the main thread

cause my attempts to run the march cube method on the gpu ended poorly and slower then just using the main thread(image of what the gpu would output)

[near wigeon]

async wont probably help much. Id look into compute buffer

[tall hearth]

i didn't lol

[tall hearth]

assuming you mean a compute shader, which is what the image above is from

[near wigeon]

yeah compute shaders

[tall hearth]

yeah i spent a short while ~ 30 total hours looking into it and the image above was the best result i could get, and it was slower than just running on the main thread

[near wigeon]

if done correctly there is no way they would be slower

gpu threads go brr

[tall hearth]

fair i could've been a number of different reasons for why such as my handling of the Dispatch / retrieval of the data since i hadn't profilied it as it was already a visually buggy mess

[tall hearth]

tried to profile the ugly CS code and not sure if i should be concerned with 1.1GB of GC

[storm patio]

i don't really know profiling stuff but that seems concerning

is that cumulative?

[tall hearth]

no no just Compute shader stuff i assume

[tall hearth]

if you mean by over 74 calls in one frame then yes otherwise no

i think it's gpu garbage

that or a bunch of garbage from

Output.Triangles = TempTriangles.Where(x => x != int.MinValue).ToList();
Output.Vertices = TempVertices.Where(x => x.x != float.MinValue && x.y != float.MinValue && x.z != float.MinValue).ToList();

[storm patio]

each step in linq is an allocation, so could be

[boreal river]

Hello, guys! What is happening with the Unity Asset Store. I have created a System to upload on Asset Store and it says pending for 2-3 weeks now and it says ~10 business days XD

I have heard that if you are a new Publisher it will take some time for the approval

[copper gust]

it takes time yes

[slow dirge]

Yep. The profiler shows ToList as one of the main culprits. To list allocates a new list.

[chrome plinth]

Where should i look for a person how tests my game against a small fee ?
Are there designated sides ?

[slow dirge]

And you call it like 30 million times in one frame.

[tall hearth]

Lol no

[slow dirge]

You are. According to the profiler.

[tall hearth]

I called it 148 times it called it 30 million times

[slow dirge]

Ah, my bad. Looked at the wrong row.

But there are 30 million iterations.

Probabpy that lambda in where.

Yeah the 36372480 /148 was 245,760 (which i would say makes sense but it should've been 32 x 32 x 32 x 15 = 491,520) so i think it made a new called every time the condition passed which makes sense

[copper gust]

It depends on stuff and I'm not super informed on the details but the little math that where function does can be nice in a little job at this kinda scale

[tall hearth]

Sorry you mean like a job as in on a worker thread?

[copper gust]

Not familiar with that term so maybe !

I did vaguely similar mesh type stuff where i wanted to do some normal comparisons on the tri's coming in and putting that in a job ended up helping at scale, first time doing anything with jobs

[tall hearth]

Meaning through DOTs ie sending to work to be done on a seperate thread, not sure how well that'd work as far as i know jobs doesnt like sending lists or arrays around

[tall hearth]

Fair i tried doing jobs in the past for this and it resulted in just eating every cpu proccessor yet having 0% performance (more than likely poor implementation) but it'd been my first time touching jobs

[willow quail]

hello guys, how can i add a new texture to my plane?

i can't drag and drop, it doesn't allow me to

anyone here?

[copper gust]

drag and drop to where

[willow quail]

the texture to the grid or to the plane in the scene

[copper gust]

you need a material

and you would put the texture on that

[willow quail]

i know, how to add a new material?

[copper gust]

have you googled that?

[willow quail]

no but i came here

i am bored of google

[copper gust]

then stop making video games

[willow quail]

i want a real person to explain

[willow quail]

you don't have to say that

[copper gust]

I do

[willow quail]

why?

[copper gust]

googling/researching is a crucial part of game development

you need to do it

[storm patio]

there are real people who have written explanations for you to read

google is a way to find those explanations

[willow quail]

i have googled alot for other questions this morning until i got bored, i want a real person now and i might make some friends here

[willow quail]

just explain it to me in real time, it's just a texture

and it's not an excuse to quit gamedev

[copper gust]

Unfortunately you won't get what you want here

[willow quail]

Thats not what this server is for

[willow quail]

what is it for then?

im also looking for some connections here cuz im working alone, that's a reason why am i here asking simple questions, so please answer me and don't make it longer

you didn't do well with new member in this server

alright alright i will freaking go, jesus

also fyi, explaining is effort, even for simple things. elementary teaching is still a job

not alot of effort

that's maybe why you get payed less, but at least u r getting payed

you've never taught anything any it shows lmao 😂

[copper gust]

this server has me questioning so many teachers...

[willow quail]

3d teachers?

i haven't learned with any teacher, i am just watching boring old youtube tutorial

our schools are stupider than teaching us stuff like these

[copper gust]

I mean all teachers..

[willow quail]

ok

[subtle owl]

It's annoying that people think that when someone helps, they do it of their own free will and not because they have to. Respect each other.

||There's ChatGPT for that :D||

[wind perch]

people help because of their own free will and one of those reasons for help could be dopamine hit, instant gratification, just to feel good about yourself

[storm patio]

it's to procrastinate

[wind perch]

if I wanted to procrastinate, I'd stay socializing here and irritating mods about non unity-talk instead of working on my project or trying to get someone to help me

which is... about what I am doing rn.

[copper gust]

you learn quite a bit helping too

[uncut karma]

You might not get very far especially as a personal hobby unless you're prepared to work out most things yourself. That's not to say you can't ask questions but not even trying to troubleshoot something will only sabotage your own development.

You need a certain amount of self motivation and drive to learn and retain everything you will need to then. The thing about game dev also is that you never stop learning, you never know it all.

I suggest googling "How to create a material in Unity". You'll find a ton of resources and most likely sites with other things you might find useful in the future.

[willow quail]

good evening, i'm still looking for a goddamn tutorial on how to put a goddamn texture

it wasn't useful

just some random people

then you might not have the education neccasary to use the Unity Engine

[willow quail]

and what is the kind of education i need?

school?

what are you even talking about?

it's a simple problem why are you making it horrible?

[copper gust]

If someone gives you the answer to your question you need to be able to understand it

the answer is in that link

[uncut karma]

I typed in "How to create a material in Unity" in YouTube.

or maybe cuz that answer is too old, i can't find what they are saying in the post

pretty sure the menus mentioned in that forum still exist

have you done unity essentials? if so you should be able to find the Project panel and create stuff in it

if not, go through the unity essentials pathway first

idk man im stupid now teach me something plz

[uncut karma]

That video is as relevant today as it was 3 years ago. As @copper gust said. Materials and Textures haven't changed

[willow quail]

i will see

maybe it's my fault, i didn't catch something in this program cuz im a newbie

20 years of stupid shit

only stupid shit

[uncut karma]

Everyone is new at some point but you'll only get out what you put in.

[subtle owl]

Let's ask this question:

How do I make, for example, pizza?

That's right, you don't know the recipe. So you go to a server like "make the best pizza ever" or just look it up online. The recipe hasn't changed since it was created, and if it had, they'd have written about it online.

You wouldn't ask any pizza maker how to make the exact pizza you want, especially if it's pepperoni and not something complicated like parsciuto.

Same here. The information is the same, it's quite accessible just by typing in what you need using keywords, not (again, an example, heh) "how to make my pizza sweet and super-duper awesome."

I hope its quite understandable.

[uncut karma]

You have a chance to change that. 👍

[willow quail]

this guy understands me

thumbs up

[willow quail]

im not a fucking child

[storm patio]

have you gone through the unity essentials pathway

[willow quail]

i came here to make connections and speak to people, and i did it now

[latent meadow]

read the #📖┃code-of-conduct you are getting annoying.

[willow quail]

i looked , and went, it's boring and not direct

[copper gust]

learning takes effort

[storm patio]

soooo you're refusing to use the resources we point to, and then complaining when you don't understand stuff?

[copper gust]

your more than welcome to chuck subway surfers on the side of it

[willow quail]

a whole page to say something very simple, they can abbreviate it more than that

[storm patio]

do you want me to just copy what unity essentials says line by line for human interaction

[willow quail]

it's for kids

[dire forge]

You mightn't think of yourself as a child, but you have the maturity of one, that's why you're struggling so much. If you were a bit more humble and patient, you would have already gotten better help.

[latent meadow]

they're a special little snowflake

[copper gust]

yet your struggling

[storm patio]

and clearly you need to read it, since you seem to not be able to locate where to create materials

i could tell you directly, but then you also wouldn't know the other stuff included in unity essentials and you'd have to ask for other very basic things.

so just go do unity essentials

they're called essentials for a reason

[willow quail]

i spent hours solving simple fucking unity problems that unity essentials wasn't good at telling me how to solve them

i spent days

[storm patio]

unity essentials isn't for solving problems

it's for you to get a baseline understanding of the editor and engine and some basic systems

[willow quail]

am i that fucking stupid or the whole stuff is?

[dire forge]

That's meaningless to us. You came in here acting as a child to us, it's irrelevant what proceeded this to us, it's just an excuse.

[storm patio]

probably neither. you need to be more patient and put in some effort

[willow quail]

alright i will, unity essential are too slow to me so i will just play with this program more

[storm patio]

afaik, a good majority of people here have gone through unity essentials or a similar "essentials"/"beginner" tutorial/course.

and no-one here starts off with an understanding of unity, we all once knew nothing about unity.

[latent meadow]

Creative Core covers the Materials

[willow quail]

maybe you're the one who has to be paitent with a newbie asshole like me

[storm patio]

so you're saying you'd rather do trial-and-error to hopefully discover the menus you need, rather than looking at a course that tells you?

[empty grotto]

why is it taking 5+ minutes every time i press play... I dont even change the code, just changes on the editor and it takes 5+ minutes

[copper gust]

what if instead of ignoring anything boring you just put the effort into consuming the boring stuff

[willow quail]

yeah

[storm patio]

none of us are obligated to put up with bs

[willow quail]

trial and error is better for me

[willow quail]

i will pay you money when my game succeed, what do you want more than that?

[storm patio]

ah yes a gamble between 2 mins and 2 days, when you could read an article and get it in 2 seconds

[storm patio]

i want absolutely none of that

[willow quail]

then plz shut up

[latent meadow]

they have no interest in a solution, they just want the attention

[copper gust]

your doing a terrible job on making connections

[storm patio]

how are you older than me but still acting like this

[willow quail]

that's what i am seeing 😂

[latent meadow]

<@&502884371011731486> we have a clown. @willow quail

[dire forge]

I am patient with you. It doesn't mean I'll help you, that ship has sailed. Being new to learning a skill and being an asshole are unrelated.

[willow quail]

yea

[willow quail]

im not a fucking clown!

im a newbie!

[storm patio]

you just admitted to wanting attention

you can be both at the same time

[willow quail]

yall can't help me with my simple freaking problem

[storm patio]

we're patient with newbies, not attention seekers

[storm patio]

we gave answers. you refused.

[willow quail]

you either help solving an then i will shut the hell up

[storm patio]

i did

you refused

[willow quail]

i was busy speaking to you mr chris, lemme watch the that video

[latent meadow]

best to just block them

[dire forge]

Someone kick this lad out 😆

[storm patio]

you said you'd rather waste time, so you've dug your own grave. i tried to help you out, but you were too busy digging deeper

[willow quail]

an yall know what? i used ai in my project ! i used meshy 6 for 3 d models! ai is the future!

[willow quail]

it's fun

[storm patio]

oh it literally is a 12yo troll 🤣

[storm patio]

why are you here complaining then 😆

[willow quail]

im having fun rage baiting i gotta admit

[copper gust]

i really hope its a child + language barrier issue otherwise its horrific

[willow quail]

it more fun than the actual game i am making

That was funny conversation)

[honest willow]

[undone monolith]

sometimes that does work tho. Learning from mistakes sort of thing

But doing that might be overwhelming tho

[storm patio]

trial-and-error for processes/systems/whatever, sure. trial-and-error for finding a menu? waste of time.

[undone monolith]

I think especially people with ADHD, they like to experiment and try things out for themselves rather than follow tutorials since being forced to do a specific thing might be boring

[storm patio]

and they're free to do so. don't make it our problem though.

[undone monolith]

I hope this didn't come out as rude or anything for those that do 😬

[sick moss]

Hello, I cannot solve this. I have different realms with different characters. And this puzzle is combination of two characters. But there cannot be active more than one realm with one character. I cannot manage this puzzle where one character will click on pillar and second character will use the roots (whichs hidden until first character click on pillar).
I will provide whatever and answer whatever, but I really appreciate help.
Thank you

[tidal sapphire]

We have that but not that bad

[upper silo]

the meta xr core sdk is made to fuck linux users over 😭

[storm patio]

what's the issue you're having exactly?
also what do you mean by "realm"?

[sick moss]

realm mean world...I have 3 diff maps (worlds)

The issue is, when I am in 1st world I have to click on pillar whichs activate roots in 2nd world, then switch into second world and use roots.

[storm patio]

as in, these are in different scenes?

[sick moss]

its..not they are on one scene, but just hidden. I managing it thanks to RealmManager script

[storm patio]

you would have something to save the state that the pillar has been pressed/the roots have been spawned, then when loading either realm, you would check that value to see whether to show the pillar as pressed or spawn the roots

[sick moss]

Yea well, I have this. It telling me that pillar was pressed, but the roots are still hidden. It looks like the script wont run.

[storm patio]

do some debugging into that then, see where it's running and where it isn't

eg if you have conditionals, check if they're being reached, then which branch is being taken

[sick moss]

@storm patio thank you for help

[inner seal]

trying to save a file but it says no to me

so im trying to save an animation file but it doesnt want to. why?

[slow dirge]

Trying to save outside of the project apparently.

[inner seal]

huh?

wait

[inner seal]

the thing is i tried making a new file for an animation folder but i forgot what file was, then i tried to make a 2nd one and it fails. i have no idea what happened in this situation

[copper gust]

Are you saving it in a folder that’s inside your projects assets folder

[minor totem]

Unity 6.6.6 when? I’ve already placed candles around Unity Hub, and it still only shows 6000.6.0a5

[wicked basalt]

@gray dawn check your inbox friend.

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I am not sure why my bullet is not pointing forward but instead if you see its rotation it points upwards. What is happening?

the bullet starts at the shoot point position

public class Shoot : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Transform shootPoint;

    private void Awake()
    {
        shootPoint = GameObject.Find("ShootPoint").GetComponent<Transform>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            GameObject obj = ObjectPoolManager.Instance.GetObject("Bullet");

            obj.transform.position = shootPoint.position;
            obj.transform.rotation = Camera.main.transform.rotation;

            Bullet bullet = obj.GetComponent<Bullet>();
            bullet.SetDirection(Camera.main.transform.forward);
        }
    }
}

[storm patio]

let's not do this please #📖┃code-of-conduct

[storm patio]

change the handles to local

[boreal river]

Yes I did still doesn't work

check what it does

basically nothing

it just points upwards

maybe the issue comes from the shoot point object

it is a child of the main camera and weapon specifically

[storm patio]

what points upwards

i'm confused what the issue is

oh the second image, i was only looking at the first lmao

[boreal river]

I am also very confused XD

[storm patio]

didn't even see the bullet in the thumbnail 😆

you didn't show the transform for the second bullet

[boreal river]

maybe the problem is that I have checked the box which says apply transforms in blender

oh I think it works now not sure what I did but

I have removed the obj.tra.rotation line basically

[copper gust]

Is there only 1 gameobject named ShootPoint in the scene?

[boreal river]

no check what it does

yes its the one I sent before shoot point

[uncut karma]

It's a known issue that Blenders transform orientations often don't align with Unity. So Z (your forward axis) will be pointing up instead. So getting the bullet to match the rotation of the camera will work off the mismatched orientations.

[boreal river]

do you think I have to uncheck apply transforms when exporting

maybe that was the problem

[copper gust]

(That gameobject find call will break if you have multiple weapons in the hierarchy in the future)

[boreal river]

I know bro I wont have probably I am not sure what to do with this issue I have

the orientation issue

[uncut karma]

2 solutions to that is to not use the exported model from Blender as parent object. Create an empty gameobject in Unity, make the bullet a child object of that and rotate it so model looks like it's facing forward to the forward axis you want.

Alternatively you can use something like this. It matches the coordinates of the Blender Transform to Unity's when exporting.
https://github.com/EdyJ/blender-to-unity-fbx-exporter

It does however play up a bit with import scale.

[copper gust]

Doesn’t blender just have an option somewhere to change the orientation

Yeah if you just google this problem it shows up

[boreal river]

by the way check my bullet prefab transform

[uncut karma]

We've never been able to resolve it absolutely. We either end up with orientation offsets or importer scale differences which create issues with automation of some mesh based effects.

Everything has a manual workaround though.

[gray frigate]

If you set the scaling mode to "FBX All" and check the "Apply Transforms" box, you'll get correct scale and orientation. However, the latter doesn't work properly for skinned meshes

Either way, I almost always parent the model prefab to an empty object

I want to be able to easily adjust the model

[copper gust]

I keep anything that might be animated under an empty gameobject the same way a parent would leash their child

they cannot be trusted with a transform

[rose trout]

Off topic question, why are you using two materials?

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! In order to return my bullet for example if it hits a wall or something lets say I know I have to use interfaces but do I have to attach a script in all of my objects like walls, roofs etc that when my bullet collides with them to be returned to the pool?

[boreal river]

Where?

[rose trout]

On your bullet’s mesh renderer

[boreal river]

I have created two materials in Blender thats why

in shading workspace

[rose trout]

Just make a global object pooling system that can be used on any object

[boreal river]

I have created a generic OP system bro my question is

how to check if it has collided with any boject that doesn't have the interface

I mean I need a script component right in all of my game objects

[rose trout]

Each object that it will collide with just need a script with the OnColliderEnter Unity function. In that function, you can check by layer or by tag to know what object collides with it, and then make something happen

Also, the objects that will collide with it needs a collider too

[rose trout]

Oh so each material gives a different look, like for example, one part is metallic, transparent, glossy, etc., and the other part is flat diffuse only?

[storm patio]

have the bullet manage this, not the surface. the bullet just needs to receive a collision message and check the thing it collided with

[umbral crane]

got a problem installing the editor where would I ask about this?

[near wigeon]

#🔎┃find-a-channel
read the descriptions

[umbral crane]

well it said here so, does anyone know how to fix this? I cant install the editor at all

[near wigeon]

!install

[vagrant root]

When Unity fails to install checklist

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

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

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

[umbral crane]

ok how do I see logs?
is there no way to install unity without it hogging C drive? my C drive has like only 5 gigs so I rly try not to use it

[storm patio]

some stuff necessarily has to go on C:

[stuck flower]

It needs to extract to the drive your OS is installed to, before moving to wherever you decide to install it

So, you'll need space available, but it won't stay there

[umbral crane]

is 5g enough?

[storm patio]

don't think so

[latent meadow]

you will also need space for it to hold Packages, Caches, etc. you will need to free significant space. the packages can be redirected to another drive, but the general caches are a different story, i think.

[rancid lake]

Does anyone else get this often?

When I shut down my PC with unity open (like if im in a rush or something)

I'm greeted by this the next day, followed by 45 minutes of reimporting every single asset in the project

[latent meadow]

"i cause this problem. anyone else get it?" seems an easy solution. do not do that.

[rancid lake]

That isn't very helpful

[latent meadow]

it actually is.

[storm patio]

i don't shut down my PC with unity open, so i don't get that at all

[rancid lake]

I doubt everyone manually shuts down every single program and background task before shutting down their pc

[storm patio]

that's a you thing

[latent meadow]

true. unity is a bit picky though. it does not always have the time to send the proper kill signals, then wait for it to complete, then report ot OS that it completed

[rancid lake]

I've never run into that before with any other program, I imagine unity would be good enough not to corrupt itself when windows shuts down

[storm patio]

do those other programs have build caches and asset databases and such?

[rancid lake]

How would files get corrupt when it's been sitting there dormant though

[latent meadow]

next time you go to do that, make sure you saved the scene and such, then see if it does the same

[rancid lake]

Yeah all saved, though i usually leave my work open while doing other stuff, incase i wanna make a change or something randomly

[storm patio]

could be any number of things probably
maybe it writes a number of files during exit and it doesn't have time to do that if you forcefully shut down, so it's stuck with half-done writes

[rancid lake]

Yeah man, video editing software, other game engines, etc

Yeah maybe

[storm patio]

video editing software has build caches?

[rancid lake]

🤷‍♂️

[latent meadow]

all i can say is you need to take the time to shut it down fully first. if it still does it after that, then start looking at logs

[rancid lake]

Yeah will do. Power went out, not much choide today. But will make sure to shut it down cleanly next time

[stuck flower]

I close Unity when I'm not actively working in it

It's a pretty heavy program

[tawny quail]

Me with 3 unity instances open at a time when I play a steam game

[rancid lake]

Exactly lol. I tend to tab over and make a few changes during game loads or downtime 😛

[jade orbit]

SO glad I'm not the only one. ProbBly frying my computer this way tho

[signal grove]

Anyone know how i can make something like this but without using shader. So c# only

article on it: https://80.lv/articles/simulating-liquids-in-a-bottle-with-a-shader

don’t mean the bubbles and stuff etc just the liquid mesh lol

[stuck flower]

Without using a shader, a single one of these would probably take weeks and would almost certainly light your CPU on fire

[near wigeon]

You don't even need to do shader code, can use shader / vfx graph

many liquid tutorials on vfx graph

[signal grove]

ok thanks!

[umbral crane]

Ah. So i cant use unity then. Ive never been able to free more than 10 gigs. Its all full of stuff that cant be deleted

Would be nice of unity said "not enough space in c drive"

[latent meadow]

i suggest godot then

[umbral crane]

How similar is it? Can i do 3d stuff?

[latent meadow]

if you want a shortcut, assets to do that are free in the Asset Store. would be a great learning experience though

[latent meadow]

yes, it can do 3D. i would not be able to make as large of scenes as unity or unreal is capable of, but depending on what you intend to do, there is no difference.

[umbral crane]

Well my end goal will be like much less graphically good last of us enviroments (thinking of a pixel art style)
So quite linear and easy to optimise, nothing open world. Is that feasable?

[signal grove]

can you send me a link to one please. Thanks

[umbral crane]

Im miles off at this stage but good to have an end goal

[rose trout]

Can't some of those stuff go on an external harddrive?

[gray frigate]

i bet you could make it pretty snappy using the Jobs system

however, at that point: just use a shader lol

[near wigeon]

unity or not you should have at least 10gbs on your main OS, its not good running so low because other app cache and even your memory can use hard drive space

[gray frigate]

being low on storage space sucks

you're constantly fussing with files

[umbral crane]

Ive tried, theres really nothing I can doo

[gray frigate]

and the disk is getting fragmented to hell and back

[latent meadow]

https://assetstore.unity.com/search#q=liquid&nf-ec_price_filter=0...0 first one in the list. a bit out of date, but sometime does not matter with shaders. also, a google for github resources might have one or two or twenty. who knows
