(less relevant on solid state drives, but i still wonder...)

[umbral crane]

Performance wise

[latent meadow]

very,. aside from your own computers space limitations

[gray frigate]

note that pixel-art aesthetics don't necessarily make something cheap

see Valheim, for example

[umbral crane]

I mean i have a 2 terabyte hard drive and a 1tb D drive

But like 100 gigs C that wont let me delete anything

[near wigeon]

why not

[umbral crane]

I rly dont know

[latent meadow]

100GB could be windows itself

[umbral crane]

Ittl say i have like a game on it but I delete the game and it stays the same

[umbral crane]

I think it is mostly windows

[near wigeon]

if you're just deleting the folders you have to reycle bin before the space is released

[umbral crane]

Yeah i do that

[gray frigate]

100GB isn't that large

I have a 256 gig C: drive in my PC and it's always almost full

[gray frigate]

Is that D: drive a solid state drive?

If so, that'll be perfectly fine for Unity

spinning rust (so, a hard drive) is a bit rough

[umbral crane]

Im not sure

[gray frigate]

Unity writes a ton of small files

[umbral crane]

how do I see what it is

[gray frigate]

you know, i'm not sure off the top of my head

i guess the Windows Device Manager will have some info in it

but I don't know where exactly it'd be

[umbral crane]

well two of them are the same, one is different. I assume the different one is the one I added

not the same but similar

the D caame with the pc

[latent meadow]

the two st are seagate platter drives

[umbral crane]

is that good?

[gray frigate]

that would make them equally bad for putting Unity projects on, if they're both hard drives

NVMe sounds like the 100 gig C: drive

i'd say to get an SSD, but the prices may be uh

lol

[latent meadow]

now, do not misunderstand. they Can hold Unity projects, they will just be slower than most would like

i run one of my projects from a platter drive, comparable to yours. it is mostly for holding large assets, as opposed to active work, but it has been ok.

[signal grove]

Hello, good day. I need support. I'm working on a virtual tour project, but it won't let me add videos. I've already tried "render texture" and a different material, but it still won't play the video. I followed a video, and it worked once, but then it stopped working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQYinKypM7U

hola

[spark lynx]

hey can someone help me with some code im working with? im currently trying to learn unity essentials in the pathway and ive been stuck on this code forever , thank you very much

[worldly cave]

How do you guys manage dealing with setting up new scenes if your game is dependant on a lot of singletons (non ddol)? Currently im using a scene template, but could i realistically pack everything up into a prefab, and just drop that into every individual scene?

So i could work on gameplay centric stuff in one scene, and then have it automatically update for other scenes, for the sake of the argument lets say the scenes in question here are entirely different levels, so the gameplay functionality doesnt change between them

[azure grove]

all the singletons i use are regular C# objects

[worldly cave]

Yeah same

thats why im asking

instead of having to manually create all the gameobjects, re add all the scripts per scene and set everything up, i just use a prefab

[azure grove]

tend to have a kinda boot loader scene, that has a state machine for loading up different parts of the game

[worldly cave]

Yeah but im not really talking about runtime stuff, just exclusively dealing with this in editor

i only have to do this once per scene

so im figuring if i use a prefab, all the singletons get updated across every scene

[azure grove]

oh you have a bunch of singletons needed at editor time

[worldly cave]

yeah exactly

theres a certain "setup" i need to make per scene in editor to make them work during gameplay

[azure grove]

yeah tend to try and avoid that, since lifetimes can get weird

[worldly cave]

wdym?

The singletons im talking about are entirely non-ddol, they are just gameplay based stuff, matchmanagers, custom audio pooling etc.

[worldly cave]

i guess calling them singletons is a bit wrong

more like "scene-scope singletons"

[viral wave]

how do I load in a GLTF character without absolutely destroying unity? I always get a 10-20 second lag spike when the character loads in

[worldly cave]

can you clarify what you mean by load in?

like import into the project

or spawn at runtime?

[fair cove]

The way ive setup my game is with 1 script on every scene that checks a static bool, if that bool is false it "pauses" the scene and loads build index 0 which also has a single script that does the actual Dependency Injection work (in your case, it would initialize the pool, tell the matchmanager the game is "ready", load settings from files, etc) when its done all that it sets the static bool to true and unloads itself - at that point the 1 script from the scene I wanted to load can continue, this way all those other non-ddol singletons are already ready because of scene 0 loading, initializing and unloading itself before the scene I want to test in Unity can do the first "Start" on any script, and it means I only need 1 script to hook everything up if a make a totally new scene

[viral wave]

its a character I found on fexlabs or something irrc, I saved it as a prefab in my assets to load in, the lag spike is whenever she shows up on screen

[worldly cave]

I understand what you are saying, but i emphasize again im not talking about runtime bootloaders or dependency injection frameworks

im strictly talking about Editor workflow, scene setup friction, and maintainability across multiple level design scenes

in the simplest sense its a repeated scene setup pattern

im trying to avoid having to rebuild it manually in every scene

its qol problem at the end of the day

[fair cove]

Ah, then I think just using a Scene Template file might make the most sense if you dont actually need any DI work done, just some copy+paste of some objects and prefabs for every scene, or maybe a custom editor that builds the scene for you with the EditorSceneManager API?

[worldly cave]

Well yeah i was thinking of using the scene templates

but im wondering if it would be simpler to just pack it all up into a giant prefab call it something like "GameCore" and drop that into every scene

most of these "singletons" only ever reference each other, or grab references at runtime regardless

so with a prefab, i could continue working within one scene and have them all update across every other

[worldly cave]

Well how detailed is the model?

when you say* shows up on the screen, do you mean when you create it at runtime or strictly when its in your field of view?

[viral wave]

its very detailed; I'm testing with this model right now
https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/black-bird-animated-neverness-to-evenress-0eecbcce8b6e4a44a38a8b1b7adf53a1

[worldly cave]

eh 180k tris is actually not that bad

also depends on how many materials it uses

but you didnt clarify, does the lagging happen strictly when its in your cameras field of view, or when it spawns in the first time

[viral wave]

spawns in the first time, the rest of the time its a little slower but not noticeable, first time she loads in theres a noticeable 20 second freeze

[worldly cave]

and its only 1 instance you spawn of this model?

how many materials does it have

what resolution are the textures

[viral wave]

yeah I only spawn it once, let me check

[worldly cave]

also it depends on how many individual objects its made up of as well

[viral wave]

she has 13 materials and 14 texture images the textures are primarily 2K, with like one or two 1K textures for the eye

[worldly cave]

thats quite a lot for 1 character

[viral wave]

also just to show the thing I have is super simple, so the fact its lagging is insane, theres litearlly nothing else on screen

[worldly cave]

how many individual game objects make up the entire model as well?

[viral wave]

what do you mean?

[worldly cave]

if you expand the model itself does it have a lot of individual meshes?

[viral wave]

let me check, but pretty sure it does yeah

[fair cove]

So everything in a new scene for you would be referencing a "GameCore" prefab? Or just its existence automatically registers itself before any code in the scene tries to access a singleton? If the latter, I can see a prefab working fine, though it does sound like an alternative to DI/bootstrap to me (unless im still misunderstanding something), just as a prefab instead of its own scene, you can actually make your "GameCore" prefab a part of a scene template as well, so you can just Ctrl + N and choose your template and already have your "core" hooked up to start building whatever specific level

[viral wave]

the whole thing with the bones and all is almost a 1000, but the visible parts are just the same 13 meshes

[worldly cave]

I think ill do that then, a prefab with a scene template

thanks

[worldly cave]

the rig has a 1000 bones?

[viral wave]

yeah

[worldly cave]

yeah thats too much lol

combine that with 13 materials

probably a custom shader ?

it makes sense, that simply isnt a game ready model lol

if you need to instantiate it at runtime, make sure you instantiate/pool it while the scene is being loaded instead

[plain dagger]

1k textures for just the eyes is cringe
very not game ready

some "game ready" models go the many materials route because lazy

[worldly cave]

most "hero" models in my project dont have over 4 materials, almost everything can be baked into a giant UV atlas

[viral wave]

I just took the model off the store, I was hoping to have models like that cause their alot cooler than the free stuff on unity

[worldly cave]

i mean you could still use it, you will just need to make some effort to optimize it a bit manually

do you have experience working in something like blender?

[viral wave]

not really, I made like a roblox sword or something

never like a polished proper character

[worldly cave]

thats a bit of a pickle, my personal recommendation is that you find a different model if you dont want to try your luck optimizing it manually yourself

[viral wave]

dang, we'll see we might have to cope with kyle for now

[worldly cave]

my god

[plain dagger]

"perfect for vr chat!" /s

[worldly cave]

every strand of hair has more bones than the humanoid avatars have in total

[viral wave]

I mean, atleast their free. what are the restrictions on using it?

like is it legal to put it in a free game or a mod for a game or something

[worldly cave]

i mean sketchfab models typically tell you what license they use

you should probably check that yourself

[viral wave]

will do, thanks for all the advice everyone lol

[worldly cave]

being free is not worth the performance troubles this will give you

just saying

[viral wave]

Im making an assistant of sorts, so visuals are very important-ish I'll see if I can find a better model or use generic unity models

[gray frigate]

none of that should be causing unity to hang for that long

[finite pike]

how do I make it so the character can't stand on the bottom of a plataform that's using the Plataform Effector 2D?

Hi

[winter zodiac]

can somone help me when im tryna install my unity editor i get this when it finishes and it doesnt download

[peak mountain]

try running unity hub as an administrator

[winter zodiac]

like how

do i do that

[near wigeon]

go to Privacy & Security and see if you given disk access for Hub

[winter zodiac]

ok

[drowsy pawn]

on?

[finite pike]

The way the fox is in the screenshot, it's standing there, inside the plataform, it should only stand on top of it

[drowsy pawn]

look DM

[willow quail]

I told y'all, if i released my goddamn game and became rich i will give some fucking money to whoever teached me the most even in simple problems, i repeat, even in simple problems

But apparently no one here wants money, idk why.

Also my game is not horror, it's sci fi or whatever you name it in terms of video game, im not another teenage asshole who wants to make a shitty game fast to be rich

Im different

Hey, didn't want to start a thread about a single question - can netcode's NetworkHide() hide network objects from the host? I'm trying but it doesn't seem to be working.

[storm patio]

#1390346492019212368 has a general thread you can put questions in without starting your own thread

[earnest sluice]

Not much luck there unfortunately. I'm using a custom scene management system and it looks like network objects have some sort of background dependency on the scene architecture to show/hide network objects in networked scenes. That's my best guess at this point. Not really sure what to do if I can't hide network objects in locally managed scenes. I might try disabling the sprite renderer/collisions with an RPC, but transforms will still have to be synced.

50 players in 5 different scenes constantly transmitting transform and net obj state data to 40 other clients that don't care is less than ideal for bandwidth. I suppose I could transmit RPC vector 3 data and handle network movement manually. Idk. Maybe it's a simple fix that I've missed.

[storm patio]

the people who would know about networking would be there, asking in the wrong channel won't get you an answer quicker lol

[earnest sluice]

Thanks. I don't think it matters anyway. Netcode is for arena games and not many people know about custom scene management.

[pastel orchid]

Is possible to make AAA quality game in unity

Can we achieve unreal engine like graphics

in unity

[copper gust]

netcode is for networked games

its not for any specific genre

[copper gust]

sure

[storm patio]

unity is used for AAA games

[pastel orchid]

Hey bro can we make cutscene based gameplay just like you can say cutscene like God of war , Uncharted

[storm patio]

you can make anything, really

[copper gust]

you can make video games in a video game engine yeah

[pastel orchid]

Do you know some specific good tutorial for cutscene

[copper gust]

google

[pastel orchid]

I mean cutscene like God of war Uncharted

[pastel orchid]

Have you published any game on play store 🙂

Anybody

[copper gust]

no

[pastel orchid]

😐

[storm patio]

this is a community support server, mate

[pastel orchid]

I want to develop a good 3d rpg mobile game in unity but the problem is map , and terrain

[earnest sluice]

Not all networked games are equal. Netcode has very specific network scene management requirements and is built for all clients being in the same scene as the host. Things start to break apart when you try to do anything else. Hence, it's arena-based. And co-op only. There is no prediction system.
So no, it's not for any network game.

-- Edit --
The answer is no, you can't hide net objs from the host.

[dire forge]

Yeah a few.

[pastel orchid]

Link 🙂

[upper verge]

you will probably want to learn how to use timeline for basic unscripted cutscenes. I don't use timeline because I use Realtime cutscene with navmesh, but that requires a fully working scripted NPC where as timeline just animates the rig for each clip to play.

[dire forge]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BeyondInteractive.DawnOfDiscovery

[pastel orchid]

What is the use of navmesh in making cutscene

You mean you play readymade animation

[upper verge]

real time ai

[pastel orchid]

And use navmesh to change position

[upper verge]

my npc are navmesh agents so they cant move in realtime unless they have a nav surface. using wander scripts and waypoints

that is far more complex and usually not as good as using timeline for basic cutscenes

because you need a complicated waypoint systems

Deactivate and activate transform on wp arrival is actually great because you can use it as a light weight streamer as your npc crosses the map. also use to do things like deactivate light holders.

Deactivate/activate transform delay is so npc can perform an animation before anything happens. play animation on arrival but delay the action.

I build my npc like this because i dont touch the animator, i inject my animations at runtime and my layers only have 2 or 3 animations

this is what an animation layer looks like for me. I need to add a "run" animation to my base so there should be 3 clips, but by injecting animations I can run any animation I want while my animator looks like this.

[junior path]

Oh boy, that time of year again where I ruin my bank account

[upper verge]

If i do some more complicated avatar masks i can get upper body animations while walking, but this system would require the npc to stop walking to perform any animation.

[upper verge]

I love the asset market manipulation on every site

"list my product for $100 so i can run a never ending sale for $5"

what a deal

[junior path]

Oh if think that's bad, check out fab.com

[covert totem]

make sure you're downloading on the C drive

[junior path]

Literally assets there being sold for THOUSANDS

[upper verge]

good asset is usually worth about $7 to me

a pack 35-50

[storm patio]

there is no C drive. that is on mac

[upper verge]

i had to spend $30 on the globemaster because I needed one with an interior and big doors for my paratroopers lol not to mention the plane is literally massive.

It's worth it though. Id rather spend money on an asset i can spend infinite time programming and playing with rather than buy anything else

[junior path]

ohno

[upper verge]

youre tryna buy an entire game module and mash it together?

youd be better off using AI XD

Hey everyone
I’m working on a Unity university project and I’m kinda stuck on a few things.
If anyone has some free time for a quick voice chat or screenshare help, I’d really appreciate it
It’s mostly beginner/intermediate Unity stuff. Thanks! \

[copper gust]

we dont do vc's or screen share here, sorry

[honest willow]

🙁

[dusky forum]

Normally you'd just post your question and provide information in a given channel and folks who are interested would provide suggestions.

[upper verge]

hmu i will mog ur worries away

[storm patio]

please do not solicit DMs

[storm patio]

the point of a community server is to have questions be public and persistent, so using a VC or going to DMs would negate the benefits of having a community server to begin with. just ask here in a relevant channel

[sudden sparrow]

T^T guys please help idk why out of no where to clean up my c disk i cleared all the temprary files and now when i open the unity hub it requires a license T^T i dont understand all this please help

[dire forge]

You always need a license, like most software. It's free, you can log into your account in Unity Hub and add a personal one.

[storm patio]

you probably already have a license, you needed one to use unity to begin with

[latent meadow]

try refresh

[signal grove]

im not the best at shader graph but i made this cool liquid shader. Although its still a bit flat on top. Anyone know how i can give it some sine wave style displacement to the cutoff. Thanks

URP btw

[pallid rampart]

why is it completely different texture??

[stiff quest]

Ceiling texture?

[pallid rampart]

Yes and also walls are stretched, don't want texture to follow that

I want texture to stay same width and height and instead fill it with same textures

[pallid rampart]

its not rendering

[latent meadow]

that is literally rendering.

[pallid rampart]

rendering is when u rasturize it and turn 3d into 2d

[latent meadow]

maybe you should ask #🏃┃animation then (this is called sarcasm)

[pallid rampart]

u dont animate walls

[latent meadow]

i linked the room to ask in. do it or don't i am not here to convince you.

[pallid rampart]

this is the correct room

[latent meadow]

no it is not, but i am not spending more time with this.

[pallid rampart]

its more about importing textures from blender but theres no texturing channel

[latent meadow]

if you think it is that, then use #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

it's not really, but have at it.

[storm patio]

you're describing the act/verb of rendering. #1390346776804069396 is about the topic of rendering, which includes managing textures and materials, for example. because that's part of what goes into rendering (verb)

[pallid rampart]

then why is there 2 separate tabs

[storm patio]

how is that related 😂

the mental gymnastics to justify your argument lmao

there are 2 tabs for animation too

[pallid rampart]

i dont believe baking and importing textures is in any way related to rendering

[storm patio]

does that mean Animator isn't in the topic of #🏃┃animation?

[storm patio]

importing is #🔀┃art-asset-workflow.
baking is either #🔀┃art-asset-workflow or #1390346776804069396.

probably #1390346776804069396

[pallid rampart]

i could bake without rendering

[storm patio]

do you want to ask people who know about baking or not

you are preventing yourself from getting help by being stubborn here lmao

if you're so convinced that what you're doing has no relation to seeing things, have fun with that. we tried to help.

[stuck flower]

Then you'd be wrong

[copper gust]

Though baking doesn’t necessarily have to be related to rendering

[stuck flower]

You can bake non rendering things, it just refers to the act of precomputing things and saving the results for later.

But this is specifically related to texture baking which is rendering.

[copper gust]

PEAK uses lightmap bakes for gameplay character controller surface sampling 😛

[storm patio]

even so, wouldn't #1390346776804069396 be the place to theoretically ask about that since that's where the people who know about baking are hanging out

[worldly cave]

Imo baking can go in both #1390346776804069396 and #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[copper gust]

Yes i am just being a pedantic nerd for conversational value

[worldly cave]

Art asset workflow is a bit of an umbrella channel i would argue

[copper gust]

Im sure whoever knows shit is lurking in both

think about what you are telling us right now, and if someone is telling you the same thing, do you feel like you could help them with the same amount of information?

anything

i think

Hunanbean is commenting on the way you are sending your messages.

if you need to say something, write it in one message, dont send 20 seperate messages with 1 word each to say the same thing a single message can say

[latent meadow]

it is actually in the #📖┃code-of-conduct , we are not just being picky

[worldly cave]

its also basic internet etiquette i fear 😩

[hidden vortex]

oh okay what do u mean, this is how i always talk

[worldly cave]

youre causing the chat to elevator up by sending a word per message, which means the conversation doesnt actually increase in length, but does fill the channel up more

imagine if i sent every word of this sentence as a seperate message ^

You wouldnt be able to see any other message in the channel on your screen

[hidden vortex]

i don't send a word like differently

i send every sentance like in a different message

[worldly cave]

😔

[hidden vortex]

look. How? idk gng 😭. its not with scripting. it did not happen (until like is the only one i sent wrong). wait. I think i solved it. I think.

its different sentence but the until like

Does Tipalti reject your W-8BEN a few times in a row?

P.S. reposting this (with deletion of previous), cuz somebody is pooping in the chat 😂

[latent meadow]

i do not think that is on-topic for this server

[turbid vapor]

Is Unity Ads better to ask for support?
I was hoping that it was a common issue

[worldly cave]

im going to go on a whim and say that most people here probably dont know what Tipalti even is

[latent meadow]

i have not heard it mentioned here, but yes, that would be an ad specific topic. maybe #1390346533127458889 would be a good place. also, it will get auto rejected if your information does not exactly match your legal information (i just had to look all this up because, as kuzmo said, i do not think a lot of people have even heard of this)

so, my mistake. you are not off-topic, just obscure for this room. the forum may be better

[hidden vortex]

now i have another issue actually abt the music in my game

[latent meadow]

go back up and read the entire"ask" bot message. do not get caught up in the word scripting like last time. it will tell you where to go for audio

[hidden vortex]

ok

yk i give up i don't care about the music repeating every time i die

yk what ill just do the easiest thing not have multiple sounds

I am getting the WEIRDEST bug today and not sure why, ever since earlier today I have youtube running and I get slowdown in Blender where the viewport starts to lag, but if I jump back to Unity, then back to Blender, it starts working fine for another 5-10 mins, then starts lagging in Blender again, jump back to unity, jump back to blender and it's fine? This is with youtube running in the background, dafuq - ever had this?

[ivory moat]

This might be better to ask in the Blender discord, more likely an issue with blender than with unity

[latent meadow]

you have most likely exceeded your VRAM. it then has to swap to RAM or a swap file, which takes a bit (simplification of the concept)

[upper verge]

You see that the chap is new here. He probably has no clue what he's doing which he didn't. Yes I know the boogie man in this server is saying "message me" or "let's work together" and that your only doing your "job". It's just annoying when you don't know anything about this and then you go to the official server to get help and normal stuff needs to be moderated.

some things never change

[latent meadow]

so you suggest that nothing should be done? just ignore the message and hope time sorts it out? seems a bit of guidance makes more sense. or did i misunderstand

[ivory moat]

I mean, the rules are outlined in #📖┃code-of-conduct pretty clearly. It might suck to be told what they are, but it's much better than ignoring them entirely

[craggy swan]

If you reference a component in a field, do you still have to use get component?

[latent meadow]

#💻┃code-beginner

[ivory moat]

Also when you ask in #💻┃code-beginner, if you have a specific example that would likely be very helpful

[stuck flower]

Yes, people continue to answer questions in private, choosing to be DenverCoder9 instead of just asking questions in a public forum that can serve as a resource to others. That never changes.

[upper verge]

I disagree and find that as the main problem. The rules page is a big wall of text and the reason new people get modderated because im reading it and still dont see the problem.

• Sending unsolicited support requests to anyone via personal messages.
• Send requests to test games via DM

this?

didnt see any of that

[craggy swan]

Okay

[upper verge]

I dont see the rules saying you cant ask for dm or video chat

[near wigeon]

maybe not specific..more like, common sense

[upper verge]

it says you cant dm somone asking them for help. Unsolicitied meaning they didn't ask in chat first

unsolicited dm means you did not ask for help in the chat first

or that person did not acknoledge your request

[near wigeon]

if it is already ASSIGNED, you don't need GetComponent NO.
Declaring vs Assigning a reference, two different things

[ripe sphinx]

I'm trying to figure out a bug with a slider value

on change, i take the value, round it and then save

but the unrounded value is the one being saved

i've validated that the rounding logic is running, so the event is firing

[near wigeon]

without seeing wat you did we can only speculate

[gray frigate]

yes, please share the relevant code

[near wigeon]

so the breakpoint gets hit in the if statement every time ?

[ripe sphinx]

yeah

[gray frigate]

Make sure that something else isn't immediately saving a different value

[near wigeon]

when you hit the breakpoint after , when you hover newValue what do you see ?

[gray frigate]

on its own, this code looks valid to me

[ripe sphinx]

this is updateField

[ripe sphinx]

I see the rounded value

[gray frigate]

mildly spooky! reflection!

(that is a valid way to support arbitrary fields)

[ivory moat]

Have you tested a debug statement inside the if? If there's nothing else updating the value

[gray frigate]

the use of reflection does make it harder to reason about who is setting a specific field, though

[ripe sphinx]

yes. newVal is unchanging

I didn't write the reflection code

i don't know why it's needed tbh

Someting that's interesting

[near wigeon]

yea you need to make sure your modifying the correct object

[ripe sphinx]

i am modifying the correct object it seems

but when the fieldtype is gotten

it's a type system.single

not float

i guess that's intentional because float is a alias for htat?

thats not true though

ok

i've isolated where the issue is

but i'm still confused

why does json serialization change the float?

wtf is going on here?

[near wigeon]

float point imprecision ?

does it matter if it stores it like that ? when you bring it back you can get the same value when its rounded

[ripe sphinx]

a unity forum thread basically states that

no it's not

wait actually

let me validate

[upper verge]

When I said, "It's just annoying when you don't know anything about this," I didn't mean the rules. I meant game development. It actually sucks when you come in here as a new developer who doesn't know anything about game dev, asking for help, and you get moderated because the server has some enforcement about archiving. But you know what? It doesn't say that in the rules, and if it does, it's not structured in a way that prevents new people from getting moderated immediately. (and that's what I care about) This stuff is hard, and people just want help.

That's all team 😉

[plain dagger]

Id use JSON.net, system text JSON or something else instead of the unity json serialiser

[near wigeon]

something something binary floating-point representation...

[plain dagger]

Time to save it as a byte array

[cold sky]

it's not an official server tho

not sure if anyone mentioned it

[upper verge]

wdym lol

official enough bro

where else you going?

[cold sky]

hold on why is it calle Official while it's just community one

I am confused

[upper verge]

official community

[near wigeon]

it is Official Community Server

[cold sky]

what does this concept mean

[near wigeon]

Unity Employees are actually Admins , Community members help run it

[upper verge]

none of the official admins are here tho 🙁

[balmy kettle]

This is the official community for unity, it is not an official channel for support. The support is community led

[upper verge]

maybe were alone

[near wigeon]

they do lurk around, also address specific issues in #1161868835423526933

the whole point of Community driven is they don't have to worry much if the community does their part to run it

[upper verge]

i was only joking it was bait

they here

👀

[cold sky]

for some reason I thought this server was made by community and people who actually relate to Unity team are just recognized and have their roles here

[upper verge]

Think about it this way bro. There is only 1 "Official Unity Discord"

and you are here

[ripe sphinx]

but the issue remains right?

[plain dagger]

Json net has much greater configuration for how things get serialised and de serialised

[near wigeon]

json.net is goated

plus you get Dictionary support out the box without nested classes

[pearl oyster]

There is no issue. That is the exact float value of 1.17

The debugger is rounding it for convenience

[near wigeon]

"first time ?" meme
float point numbers

thats why actual decimal types exists (precision at cost of space/speed)

[cold sky]

I died copypasting V3 into plain text by accident realizing all non decimal values are actually like 0.0000002 wrong

[ripe sphinx]

v3?

[near wigeon]

vector3

[pearl oyster]

I suppose because the decimal value is truncated in the JSON it might deserialize wrong to the next closest float

but I doubt it because floats have about 8 decimals precision and it stores much more than that

[finite trellis]

Any Brazilians here?

Oh sorry I just joined

[toxic jay]

does anybody know how to fix my game crasahing right after launch up? btw i downloaded it from itch.io and used mboile vr station to launch it

[latent meadow]

'your game' or some game you downloaded?

[toxic jay]

my game

[latent meadow]

does it work in the editor?

[toxic jay]

i havent tested yet in the editor

i can tho

[latent meadow]

that would be the first step. the rest is a lot of noise that is eliminated by testing a local build directly

[toxic jay]

alr ill try it

[near wigeon]

attach the logger see what logs say

[toxic jay]

ok so when i luanched it i spawn in for a sec then i was looking around but i wasnt on my player i was in a wall with a screen that wouldnt move it was like i was stuck

[ripe osprey]

so I'm in a conundrum, I'm trying to have a gameobject (the attached image) spawn right where the player is, but also want it to spawn on ground level even if the player is in the air, I'm trying to do it with a raycast that if it detects a ground layer it spawns it there, but I want to know what other ways do you guys recommend me

[near wigeon]

sure raycast positioning is fine

[ripe osprey]

good!

[toxic jay]

[nova brook]

Sorry for offtopic question ... i want to learn 3D player movement and controller and all input related stuff but there is no good lead on yt can anyone know best source to learn this ??

[timber zealot]

third person?

or firstperson

[nova brook]

yes with follow camera or say fixed camera

3rd person

[lucid barn]

The difference between third and first person is just the main camera placement, it won't effect it that much, just saying😁

[tender thicket]

!learn

[vagrant root]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

[nova brook]

on unity learn its to basic i want to learn cinemachine

[timber zealot]

try syncing animator state info and handling character rotation with quaternion smoothing on just a camera change then let me know how it goes

[lucid barn]

I was talking about the main movement.

[timber zealot]

main movement logic is still completely different first person uses straight screen space vectors while third person requires complex movement mathematics based on camera forward and right directions to move properly

[lucid barn]

But the simple wasd movement doesn't. That's what I was talking about.

[nova brook]

Guys listen to me i just need camera setup that follow my player bcz i dont want to modify Default camera with script 😭

[tender thicket]

then thats just cinemachine

[nova brook]

Oh thanks is there any good source for learning CM

[tender thicket]

there are multiple tutorials on unity learn

[timber zealot]

it actually does because pressing w in third person needs to move the character towards where the camera is looking not where the character is currently facing so the basic input translation is still fundamentally different

[timber zealot]

13😭😭

[tender thicket]

why not just handle the movement logic on the player and have the camera follow a child object with a joint

[nova brook]

Thanks

[lucid barn]

There is a type of wasd movement that with the script used, will make the camera automatically follow the player no matter what position. It could be that this is outdated or something because I haven't used unity in a while.

[jade vigil]

hi all, i want to buy a pack from the store but i don't own a tax number (iam not a company), what now?

[lucid barn]

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

[timber zealot]

you dont need a tax number if you are buying as an individual just leave that business or tax id field blank or uncheck the business purchase option and you can checkout normally with your regular credit card or paypal

[tender thicket]

the only issue i see with this is the camera clipping thru walls but that could probably be solved by giving the child object a collider bigger than the camera and a specific type of joint

[jade vigil]

Wow the obvious call, thanks a lot lol, double checked it. Cheers.

[timber zealot]

at least you realized it is outdated because using joints or simple child follow scripts for a proper third person controller makes the whole movement look like a mobile game from 2012 vector math is the way now

[timber zealot]

physics joints are not meant for camera collision systems guys if you use that the camera will bounce and jitter like crazy just use camera raycasting to smoothly interpolate the distance whn a wall is detected

[lucid barn]

Srr, but that ain't from 2012 since it still worked last year. Anyway, I was just trying to tell you that. It could indeed be outdated and that would be totally my issue, I just haven't touched unity for quite a bit and have lately also been focusing on vr games.

[tender thicket]

sure that may be a better way but i was just giving out the simplest method it could be implemented that i could think of

[timber zealot]

That makes total sense! VR development actually handles player space and tracking very differently, so it is completely normal to lose track of flat-screen third-person setup logic. No worries at all, man. Good luck with your VR projects

[lucid barn]

That might be ai, but thanks.

[dire forge]

I think Cinemachine includes a camera collision feature now.

[tender thicket]

cinemachine does it again

[timber zealot]

Lol, I just had to format it properly because the server filter is strict tonight. Anyway, glad we are on the same page now

Hey, planning on making a app. I have a quick question, does anyone know average publisher's CPM with ads?

(CPM - Clicks Per Mile if you live under a rock xD)

lol cpm means cost per mille since mille is thousand in latin anyway you can expect around 2 to 5 dollars for standard mobile ads

[west aspen]

I see. Thanks.

[ripe sphinx]

how do i fire an event in one component script that i'm listening for in another component script?

[ripe sphinx]

a tangent from that. i have another question, more conceptual

[plain dagger]

.Invoke() or () on the event itself

unity events can only use Invoke()

[ripe sphinx]

So we have these scenes that run for set intervals of time

which is configurable

i'm looking at how this timer is done

this is kinda suss right

the notion that time increment is based on the frame rate

[plain dagger]

Not really, delta time is the realtime since last frame

recording Time.time and comparing to current time also works

[ripe sphinx]

right but don't you end up opening yourself to issues with how accurate your intervals are?

because the interval end condition is not checked consistently

[plain dagger]

You would need to use another thread which is quite tricky to do

by default in unity we are stuck with the main thread

[ripe sphinx]

right

[plain dagger]

and the timer in this example will go below 0 and will execute the else branch

[ripe sphinx]

yeah

[plain dagger]

this looks nasty but you may know that already

[ripe sphinx]

yeah

there's so much clean up to be done 😭

[plain dagger]

single responsibility means a class should do one job. some random mono timer altering its state this way is a sure fire way to get bugs

[ripe sphinx]

i'm worried that as it exists now our intervals may not actually be accurate

we collect data as the scenes run and put it to a csv

[plain dagger]

the intervals of time you get is our of your hands when using the main unity thread to count time and process logic

but with how unity is you cannot touch most apis from other threads so there is no easy alternative

but you do know how much time IRL passed with decent accuracy so that works for most use cases

[ripe sphinx]

there's no system.clock?

exposed by unity

that's part of the .net runtime

system.time rather*

[plain dagger]

Unity uses the OS timing and that is how it does produce deltaTime

you are confused. delta time reported each frame is very accurate

but the "samples/executions" per second will be framerate dependant (e.g. 30 times a sec, 120 times a sec)

[ripe sphinx]

i'm saying that wouldn't variations in performance lead to overshoot?

if you have a big lag spike at the end maybe you go a few seconds over what you configured to collect for

[plain dagger]

Yea it will never be perfect but you can adjust based on the time passed if needed

but whatever you do at the end of some "timer" is not really related

[ripe sphinx]

how often dos update() run?

in a given scene?

[near wigeon]

every frame?

[ripe sphinx]

oh that makes sense lmao

[plain dagger]

[crisp rivet]

the biggest problems with making games as an indie / solo dev is mainly these 2 things, in my experience:
1 - underestimating the time it takes to create a game
2 - taking much longer compared to a freelance because of work / more real life "distractions"

[scarlet pebble]

hey, do you guys know any content creators that you can recommend that make games from start to finish on youtube?

and I don't mean devlogs where they just show you the end result of a week's progress

[copper gust]

ThinMatrix is cool

[scarlet pebble]

thanks

[crisp rivet]

the biggest downfall for a project is probably, having unrealistic expectations from the beginning (like making a triple A game on your own or smth similar)

[scarlet pebble]

the biggest downfall for me now is that I have this mental barrier of not being creative when it comes to environment art and level design

if I got over this I would be able to finish my small project but its taking a toll on me

and any upcoming small project too

thats why I asked for content creators to watch because I wanted to see their process of designing levels and environment design

[crisp rivet]

for level design i work from macro -> micro usually, this way i don't lose the overview

struggling more with coding compared to design tbh

[scarlet pebble]

opposite for me 😔

[crisp rivet]

made a bunch of mods for games like 20 yrs ago or smth

like oblivion, far cry 2 and tomb raider

there was a bunch of level design in those lol

[crisp rivet]

i mean u could write a procedural world generation code or the same for a dungeon world

[scarlet pebble]

my project is different unfortunately, no dungeons or something that can be generated

[crisp rivet]

okay, that sounds like a lot of level design in that case

unless it's a farm sim or smth like this^^

[gusty fossil]

Is the unity beta AI just creating scripts or is it able to wire up components, assign objects to inspector, create gameobjects etc.. and/or do we have to define the tooling? I guess the real question is, is it able to do editor work?

[formal wadi]

can someone help me in #1390346827005431951 ??

[slow dirge]

Yes, it can. For future reference #1202574086115557446

Btw, any agentic coding tool can. It's just a matter of modifying metadata files.

[hidden panther]

is there a way to fix this?

[upper verge]

Can't tell what it is with no explanation. Just a shadow.. from what object? Is it in camera view? Did you set the material correctly for you desired effect?

Also what light source is casting that shadow.

It looks like your ceiling tile is casting a hard shadow on the ground

[hidden panther]

okay I turned off the post processing to make it easier to see, I placed a light near the tile and only the right side of the tile gets illuminated while the left side as you can see isn't

it's separate object btw

[upper verge]

The the candle the only light source in the scene?

[hidden panther]

nope

[upper verge]

Turn those off first

Then you will see

[hidden panther]

turn what off? the candle light or other light source

[upper verge]

The other light source

It's coming from one of your light sources

Not the candle

it's common sense in community support servers. we don't expect people to know that out of the womb, so we explain.

also im new to this kinda stuff

[hidden panther]

the decal projector makes the material on the surface of the wall kind of blurred and it also changes the lighting too on the projected area even though it's transparent. is there a way to fix this?

[near wigeon]

that comes down to the texture quality
also if you're not using normal map on material it must be turned to 0

[hidden panther]

it's just a 2d pixel art png with no normal map, where do I turn the normal map into 0?

[near wigeon]

on the material

it's stll the same

[upper verge]

You have a normal map assigned 😳

Set to 0 tho

You can wait for some sales. Unity does tons of sales, even up to 99% off.

They have a bunch of coupons out too. They just put up their summer 25% off coupon code to enter at checkout

[mellow basalt]

the $2+ sale is still going on, That's how they got 41 items for that price. I did the same thing.

Oh I didn’t see the 41 quantity lol. I thought they bought just 1 thing for that

[hybrid oyster]

How good is the Unity AI thing?

Does it talk to you about stuff or does it just want to do things for you?

I mean it's obviously better than having Gemini or chatGPT tell you to do stuff from a third party perspective but i can also talk to Gemini and ask every ridiculous question possible and it retain my intent and previous information

[astral ginkgo]

is unity 2022.3.62f3 any good?

[hybrid oyster]

Dunno

[sage basin]

Not sure why you would choose to use an old version of Unity

it runs faster on my machine for some reason

also how do i fix gameobjects spawning super far away from 0, 0, 0

Show your instantiation code.

[astral ginkgo]

how do i find that

like REALLY new

[dire forge]

What is spawning your object?

[astral ginkgo]

idk i click create -> GameObject

to create a new gameobject

[dire forge]

Usually when we say spawning we're talking about when an object is created while the game is running.
You can just change the position of the object you create in the scene.

[pearl oyster]

Edit -> Preferences -> Scene View -> Create Objects at Origin

also why is this happening when i need to view objects closeup

the camera like clips with the objects

ok also why is it when i move my object slighty it moves really far?

[pearl oyster]

Probably the same reason

[astral ginkgo]

i clicked f to focus and it didnt fix the moving issue

hey so i have a project with the vr multiplayer template and i'm wondering where should i start trying to add my own stuff to it? my goal is to make a VRChat type game with a heavy focus on physics like fluid, softbody, destructable environment ect.

[copper gust]

wherever you want

[hushed oriole]

i mean what's the easiest aspect to start with?

[pearl oyster]

None of those features are easy so it doesn't really matter, starting from the easy ones don't make the hard ones any easier later

The scope is probably a bit too much if you're a beginner

[copper gust]

that kinda project would take years so its hard to say

[pearl oyster]

Start with the base game, then you'll have more experience to start tackling the physics features later

okay I fixed it, I just need to turn off affect normal in the shader graph

[undone monolith]

Small mistake... actually 6.3 LTS is the latest, not 6.0

[tall hearth]

No this has a term and one that you mentioned "instantiate" i would consider creating an object in the hierarchy as "spawning" cause it's doing just that spawning something, though i would consider instantiating to be spawning too but that's why it's called that so it can be differed.

Ok, I disagree. That's fine.

[modest kelp]

hello i need help, i just intalled unity, i'm a huge beginner i don't know anything at all lol, i don't even know how to open the game file my group project gave me, can please someone help me in DM so i share screenshots after screenshot lmao of my screen i'm just totally lost

[tall hearth]

You cant say "we" then especially when the term for creating objects through code (during runtime) has it's own term

[dire forge]

I already did.

[tall hearth]

Make a thread and post the SS's here we dont do stuff in dms

[modest kelp]

@tall hearth i'm so sorry i don't know how to do a thread on discord and what does ss mean ?

I can't create a project; it's asking me for a license.

[potent geyser]

You need a license to use Unity, which includes having a free account license.

Are you logged into your Unity account in Hub?

[radiant horizon]

I have a personal license

[storm patio]

does the hub license tab show that?

[radiant horizon]

yes

[storm patio]

what if you restart the hub

[radiant horizon]

Wait, I'll try.

[tall hearth]

Had this problem a few months ago only thing that worked was shutting my pc off and on

[storm patio]

right don't take pictures of screens please

that's a terrible image

https://screenshot.help

[radiant horizon]

Sorry, my phone is broken

[storm patio]

that's unrelated

[radiant horizon]

I've already tried

[tall hearth]

Not sure how this affects taking a screenshot on your pc

[radiant horizon]

I didn't understand, sorry, I'm terrible at English.

[storm patio]

use a translator if you have to

don't take pictures of screens, use screenshots if you need to show what you're seeing

[radiant horizon]

Okay, thank you.

Unity crashed

Oh no, it just takes a while to start

woah, you have a dog that can make games?

[upper verge]

yeah in he uses Base 44

[ripe sphinx]

So i'm trying to dig back again into this thing i talked about yesterday

About timers in unity

[unborn ice]

Someone pls tell meh how to fix this

I've tried multiple times to install and even uninstalled the one I had since it wasn't working. Now it won't install at all TOT

[tall hearth]

With how many times my dog barks in a day i can see this being the case

[slow dirge]

This is not fixable. it's chronic "taking photos of my monitor" disease

[unborn ice]

;-;

[storm patio]

https://screenshot.help

[unborn ice]

I said fix in place of halp. (It won't let me say the actual word for sum reason)

[tall hearth]

Two infected in the same morning

[unborn ice]

I tried to take a screenshot with windows shift and s but the damn screenshot didn't wanna pop up

So I used my phone

[storm patio]

check the "installing" tab thing in the bottom left for more info

but use an actual screenshot this time

[storm patio]

this is infinitely worse

[unborn ice]

Oh

Oh my God I'm so dumb

Think I found my issue

I hav no space

XD

Is there a way to download the editor on my sdxc card?

[worldly cave]

a micro sd card?

[unborn ice]

I think?

It's the extra card I put in my PC for more storage

[worldly cave]

I would personally not install the editor on a micro sd card.

[unborn ice]

Oki lemme move some things then

[storm patio]

it's probably possible, but sounds like a bad idea for multiple reasons, and would still require space on C: to do the installation

[stuck flower]

Early indicator of a potential more virulent strain. Someone better contact the CDC

im hoping uninstalling those two big ah games i had helped

it was love nikki infinity and wuwa

[shell crane]

I really want to build for iOS now that the project is ready, but when I am building for iOS and I'm in this process of IL2CPP stripping assemblies, The build process stops and i get this error (There is no such thing as Textmeshpro.dll in the project anymore, i just deleted it off the project and reimported assets again, but it didn't work):

[exotic relic]

Are you on Mac? It’s safe to use Mono.
From package manager you can install text mesh pro again

[shell crane]

Can you even use Mono for iOS building?

I am using windows

[near wigeon]

Let me see the entire shader.
Unless they changed it even in my old vid you can see you need to turn down normal map down

[shell crane]

I think it forces IL2CPP to be used while building for iOS platform but im not sure

[shell crane]

The project doesn't use textmeshpro for any of its functionality, so i dont need it its okay

I just want the iOS build to succeed

[gray frigate]

Yes, you have to use AOT compilation for the iOS platform

(hence, IL2CPP)

[shell crane]

So what can i do about the error then?

It's barely mentioned in the unity forum discussions

[gray frigate]

if you just deleted a DLL, you probably need to restart the editor

I haven't tried to do an IL2CPP build on my mac in a while (i was getting some very wacky errors), so I'm not too familiar with this

[exotic relic]

Id like to point out that you cant exactly use the ios build that you build on windows. You do need a mac to publish

[shell crane]

Well this is what i am using to build ios compiled folder

I saw someone succcessfully doing it and just only getting the compiled folder from it on windows

[exotic relic]

itll build files but you cant use them

[shell crane]

yes, i want these files

I also tried cloud unity build and it has the same error aswell

two errors actually

[exotic relic]

I think, even if you built it on windows and copied the build over to mac, you still couldnt use them. Im not sure why they have a option to build on windows because it needs to be built on mac

On mac, it wont build the same

[shell crane]

I don't have a mac device at home, I just want to build it right now

I could use a macoOS vm in windows but i dont have enough storage and my pc is not just strong enough for it

[copper gust]

why do you want a build

[exotic relic]

Cant use a VM, still wont work

[copper gust]

what do you want to do with it

[shell crane]

and Vmware does not offer gpu accleration so the macoOS vm would run very poorly

[shell crane]

I want to compile the unity project I have for iOS so i can play it on my device

the device runs iOS 17.0

[copper gust]

you need a mac to do that

[gray frigate]

does it depend on tooling provided by XCode?

[shell crane]

Can't unity cloud build also help in that case so that it wouldn't require mac since it can do it without you needing a mac?

[exotic relic]

Yes, you need xcode and a developer account with apple to sign the app... to even test it. No matter what, you cant get a app on it without the signing

[shell crane]

I dont want to sign the app, i just need the compiled app file as IPA, my device accepts unsigned IPAs

Xcode or not, I don't care

[exotic relic]

Unity doesnt build the ipa unless its mac

[shell crane]

The error i am getting while building iOS is very weird and somewhat uncommon or rare? I have looked in unity discussion, other servers and the error isn't mentioned aswell, it's just strange

the error was mentioned in unity discussion once but their solution didn't work for me, the solution was to uninstall or upgrade textmeshpro plugin

[exotic relic]

Doesnt matter if your device is modded to accept unsigned apps. Unity wont give you the app. Unity builds apps in a different format on mac, to support apples structure

[shell crane]

Really? I want to give this a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc64y2GEyRc

[copper gust]

every single comment says that doesn't work, for what it's worth

[shell crane]

Yes but i tried unrelated different videos before years ago, the comments said it didn't work but it somewhat worked for me

[copper gust]

but i agree if you want to build you want to build

[shell crane]

So i can't trust the comment section 100%

[copper gust]

you'll just have to wait for someone to know stuff about your issue

[shell crane]

I just want to see if it will work on my device, but im halfway through and unity just stops me from building

I could also exclude unityengine.UI.dll from building ios platform so it wouldn't try to reference or strip it, but controlfreak2 (and one more thing?) requires it, even if i didn't have controlfreak2 then other scripts on the project references and relies on controlfreak2 so it wouldn't really be a good idea

[exotic relic]

Overall, save the trouble and do it legitimately. We could also point out that developing on the modded device will get your app rejected from the store since its against the TOS to mess with ios software

[copper gust]

they do not care

[shell crane]

My plan is not to get it submitted in the store, but just to play with it in my device

A lot of people also want the same app (in android) but couldn't because their device runs iOS, so successfully doing this also would help them

[copper gust]

is this your game

[shell crane]

I could give them the IPA and they would be able to sideload it

[shell crane]

No it's {redacted}, I am just compiling it for iOS, I tried to get the main developer to communicate with me to ask him to add iOS support, but he didn't respond

[copper gust]

ok

so we cannot help you here

[shell crane]

He either never saw the message or just left the message on read

[copper gust]

and if you continue asking for help here on this you'll end up banned

just as a general vibe check, you probably won't succeed

it's not as easy as it seems

[shell crane]

I understand, it's out of good intention though and I won't give other people the project if they asked, Even if they tried to do the same it wouldn't work because I fixed bugs and weird visual issues in the project

I support the main developer, but he doesn't make it easy to communicate with and I want to ask him but he just can't unfortunately

[copper gust]

Unfortunately you don't get to do this just because the developer didn't respond to you

[shell crane]

I only want to play it on my device, I am not getting android just to play the game, That's my reason.

[latent meadow]

read the #📖┃code-of-conduct

[stuck flower]

It doesn't matter how pure your intentions are it's still reverse engineering. The process is identical for piracy and as such the server does not want to be a hub for knowledge on the subject. Additionally, it leads to a lot of problems that are specific to the exact use case, and often imposes restrictions on how to solve the actual problem that don't come up until hours of back and forth have been done, wasting the time of people offering completely valid solutions to problems that any one else would have been able to solve because they're in full control of the source of the project they're working on.

You cannot get help for this problem here.

Hi I'm using Unity 6000.4.3f1
Can it be that it doesn't support .tgz files from Firebase yet? Trying to import Firebase.App and Firebase.Database from tarball or githubURL but package manager just loads a bit when clicking install, then nothing

[storm patio]

what's the issue exactly? are the objects just randomly blinking on their own, or are you doing something that causes that? eg zooming or something

[wooden pebble]

Zooming

I can't zoom in on them

the zoom is too great

[storm patio]

press F to refocus the object

[wooden pebble]

Okay thanks!

I've done both of these things awesome
Thank you was wondering if there was anything else

not here, no. you might track down some servers that allow it.. not sure how Game Dev Network discord handles it. good luck

Hii

[gray maple]

hi folks, i have a question that have haunted me for quite some time, im making a sailing game with the idea of having it be anime inspired therefore i want to achieve an anime style ocean , ive seen videos of people creating the style i want in other software but i dont know how to translate it to unity , ive made some progress but it doesnt quite look the way i want it to, if there is anyone with some knowledge on the topic or related topics im eager to discuss and show my work thus far and what i am aiming for, thanks in advance 🙂

[worldly cave]

sounds more like a #1390346776804069396 question

plus you should ideally show some references as to what you are aiming to do

[vivid cedar]

look up toon shaders

[gray maple]

this is kind of the style i am going for, i will take the question to the rendering as suggested , thank you!

[vivid cedar]

and cel shading

For example: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/toon-water-8143?srsltid=AfmBOooKGbqrfizRnag3v3uFOv-97UfDRLEIyMxQEKQqAcm9LNnlrYC2

[gray maple]

i have spent the last three weeks watching tutorials and videos and read articles about everything from gerstner waves, FFT to cel shading, anime toon style but nothing is quite what i am searching for. i have created a few variants of shader graphs but it misses the mark somewhat in a few areas

[latent meadow]

have you checked the free assets in the asset store, or the paid ones?

[winter zodiac]

i have a problem everytime i try to export my map it dissapers and it doesnt export this is for a gorilla tag vstump map what do i do

[near wigeon]

ask on a gtag server

[hidden panther]

yea nvm I fixed it, just need to turn off affect normal on the shader graph inspector

ty

[azure grove]

gerstner waves will get you the right shape, then the rest is how you shade it, which as you can see there is mostly done via height

hard transitions between a dark blue for the low points, a other blue with a bit of a gradient for the main water level then the hard white for the crests

[jaunty root]

query: is there any existing solutions to automatically source/code gen strongly typed properties for accessing named elements in UI Toolkit?

So instead of querying by name, you have a "real" C# property you can query, automatically generated from the uxml file?

[hasty raptor]

Hi, I need help with Unity Editor failing to launch. Unity Hub opens normally, but when I try to open the Unity Editor I get this error:

“The code execution cannot proceed because Unity.dll failed to load. Make sure you meet Unity’s system requirements.”

Unity version:

• Unity 6.4 / 6000.4.8f1

PC specs:

• Windows 10, fully updated
• CPU: Intel Core i7-10700KF
• GPU: Zotac RTX 3070 Ti 8GB
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming H570-Pro
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix
• PSU: Raidmax Cobra RX-800AE-D 80+ Gold 800W

Things I already tried:

• Reinstalled the Unity Editor through Unity Hub
• Updated Windows 10 completely
• Updated NVIDIA GPU drivers
• Repaired Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributables, both x64 and x86
• Ran sfc /scannow
• Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Restarted the PC after repairs
• Checked Windows Defender Protection History through PowerShell
• Checked recent Defender detections after trying to open Unity
• Checked Controlled Folder Access, and Defender does not seem to be blocking Unity
• Checked Event Viewer under Windows Logs → Application, but I could not find a Unity.exe crash entry
• Searched Unity logs, but I only found Hub/install/info logs, no useful Editor.log, so it seems the Editor fails before properly initializing

I only use Windows Defender, no third-party antivirus.

The error still appears every time I try to launch the Unity Editor. Does anyone know what dependency or system issue could cause Unity.dll failed to load before Unity even creates a normal Editor log or Event Viewer crash entry?

Please someone help, I just want to learn how to code games, I've been trying every fix I found for like 6 hours already

[near wigeon]

id try

• check hub logs
• file /folder permissions
• another version of unity editor
• install /try run Unity editor without hub (the one from website not running current exe directly)

[hasty raptor]

I tried now other versions and still can't do it, I have checked the hub logs and there's nothing, I tried to execute unity directly like you mentioned and the same error appears, my machine at this point I feel like it's possessed.

[fair cove]

If you have no specific reason to choose one over the other, why not try both and see which one you can tolerate more? Both are more than capable of handling multiplayer and first person shooters and support the use of plugins for different networking libraries, but the outcome will be largely limited by your experience as a developer, regardless of engine and tools - if you never made a game before or used a engine before, both will have a significant learning curve, although maybe some features might be a little easier to grasp depending on how your brain prefers to learn new things

[marble thicket]

i already have been messing with godot for 2 weeks and i like it alot, i just dont know if theres any limits to it, compared to unity which most of my favorite games are made in

[iron rover]

Hey guys - how do you find ideas for you video games?

[fair cove]

If there are specific limits you are concerned about and you know the technical requirements for your specific project, id take a look at the release notes for the version of both Unity and Godot you plan to use for your project and see if those versions have (or lack) any features that limit what you want to achieve, and if their roadmaps will cover those specific features anytime in the near future

[slow dirge]

Most people do gamedev because they already had an idea for a game. Not the other way around.
What's your gamedev goal anyway? Is it to make money? Or just for fun? For me and many other people it's to implement an idea we already have.

[iron rover]

I mean it's just to prepare for my next cs class

[iron rover]

My main motivation is to apply all the design patterns I can learn till September

As for the game idea ... blank

I was never a video game player either

[slow dirge]

Hmm... Then just take something simple and generic and add some twist to it. Like tetris, Mario, angry birds, anything. Surely there are some games even you played.

[near wigeon]

specifically mentioned not to launch exe directly cause it was installed through hub.

the one from website not running current exe directly
I was talking about the ones from here , it says "See All" then Manual installs

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I remember there was a rendering option somewhere here on my previous unity version and there was convert materials option specifically

Where its gone?

I have Unity 6000.3.10f

basically I am not on URP I am on Built in

maybe thats why

[near wigeon]

if you dont have urp package installed then you don't have the urp tools

[boreal river]

oh you are right I have to download the package

ty

[near wigeon]

btw if you have custom shader it will not convert them

[boreal river]

What exactly I have to include

about converter I know ok

mat upgrade and and renderer but what are the other options I see

generate core fbuffers and shader includes

[vivid cedar]

Well you'll need to write your own shader most likely using the principles

[cursive abyss]

Hey guys i just wanted to ask if there is any way to make an shadow behind the Text but i dont find any way to do it :(
Thanks for anyone that might have an solution

[fair cove]

If you are using TextMeshPro, there is an "Outline" and "Drop Shadow" option in the material: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/textmesh-pro-working-with-material-presets - you can also try looking up "unity textmeshpro drop shadow" if you prefer seeing a video of the process

[cursive abyss]

Yes but that isnt the right shadow thing. It is hard to see but it is there. I mean this small shadow thing, is it an image in the background or an TextmeshproUGUI Setting? @fair cove

[fair cove]

If you mean a background that covers the entire text space, then that would likely be an image, if you mean a shadow added to each letter, that would be a TextMeshPro setting (though im sure theres markdown to also add background color to each letter)

[plain dagger]

As said by Dibbie you want to make a new font material and configure the outline/drop shadow to your liking

(expand the font asset, select the default material and do Ctrl D to make a new one)

[cursive abyss]

Yes i already had this text Material but i dont find any shadow images that arent wierd looking :(

[plain dagger]

shadow images?

[cursive abyss]

Yes

[copper gust]

rob asked that because no one knows what you mean by that

[cursive abyss]

ohh ups wait lemme show you :D

[plain dagger]

yea, the tmp outline/shadow are shader options that get generated in shader

[cursive abyss]

Shadow:

But it is an bad one

[copper gust]

what is that for

[cursive abyss]

I wanted it to be behind the text like here

Scale it down a bit more transparent but the image isnt an perfect squere

square

[copper gust]

like a full black bar behind the entire text?

[plain dagger]

You can place it behind then. ask in #📲┃ui-ux for actual ui layout advice

[cursive abyss]

Nooooo omg holy language barrier so okay wait. I have already the thing setup with the text and the shadow and the problem is that i dont have an good looking shadow because the image of the shadow isnt an perfect sqare. I dont need help to built anything because it is only the shadow that is looking wierd

[copper gust]

if what you are saying is exactly what you mean

i don't think anyone here can help you other than just saying "you have to make the image how you want it to be"

[cursive abyss]

"you have to make the image how you want it to be" - How?

[copper gust]

art skills

it's not a unity specific question

[cursive abyss]

okay

But still thanks for helping me out

[vocal tangle]

I don't know where I can ask, so I'll try here. I have a small An AR app that reads a marker and displays a 3D model. The model flies in the air, just somewhere to the right or left, but never on the marker. What could be the problem?

[pastel copper]

guys. How cooked am I?

[copper gust]

Might be worth looking into Godot

[pastel copper]

Can I do 2D and indie game development with this spec?

[arctic acorn]

Hello guys, when rendering shapes to texture, would it make more sense to use fragment shader or compute shader? Basically, I have 1 plane that has texture attached to it. I am trying to render multiple squares, circles and lines on top of it by extracting uv coordinates of my mouse raycast onto the plane, and spawning appropriate shape at that position (as seen in the image). The problem is that each pixel has to check whether it belongs to some of those shapes in order to determine whether it should be white or black, which could get really expensive once shape count gets big enough.

What I was wondering is if compute shader was the right choice for this task or if I should rather use fragment shader.
I was also wondering if there was some way to perform instancing (my squares and circles will always be same size) and if there was a way to signal to the gpu which pixels will actually get affected without every pixel having to check if it is contained in any of the shapes

[copper gust]

yes but honestly probably not with Unity

[pastel copper]

thanks

Also you should just try, I for one thought my PC can't do many things. You'd be surprised what you can do if you just try!

[tardy ridge]

was kind of scary but i had 300+ units in my game firing machine guns and unity's built in audio engine was crackling a lot so i looked into alternatives and decided to integrate wwise and now i have all 300+ units firing guns and zero crackles

In hierachy that does work. In project this works for most asset types. In new search this also works for components in prefab assets!
