oh you mean scripting?

#

ooo

#

this looks like a great website

scarlet pasture
#

i would give u a 7, u can make a paralaxx effect, and a small eye animation like he is closing hes i and open it. i dont know whats the name in englisch for that

hot wadi
#

Then those documents are no good in the meantime
I can try to list a few things u have to complete before programming in Unity
First is the syntax, types, loop, etc. specific to C#. Different languages have different settings
Second is OOP, understand what a class is, how to implement its features
Last is data structure and algorithm, this is a bit advanced so u can save for later, after u have a solid experience with Unity scripting. But u should take a look at some simple data structures at the beginning of the course.

paper delta
#

i believe it shows most of the stuff you listed

#

cause if not i wouldnt know where to find that stuff

#

it also seems easy to understand on the website

vital barn
#

A few years

hot wadi
paper delta
#

but im also sure you gain knowledge over time scripting

hot wadi
#

Yeah, writing functional code is one thing. Optimizing it is another

guys is there any way to block the access of our game if someone downloaded a mod version or downloaded our game's apk from anywhere other than google play store?

ivory bobcat
vital barn
toxic crypt
hot wadi
#

There are like millions pirated products out there

toxic crypt
#

like my player data is stored on unity cloud

ivory bobcat
toxic crypt
#

yeah how to identify

#

because I dont want anyone to change the rss amounts

vital barn
ivory bobcat
#

What exactly would you be concerned about relative to cheating/modded?

toxic crypt
#

players data like email is also on the cloud

ivory bobcat
#

Clients would only have access to client side data.

vital barn
rough granite
# toxic crypt yeah how to identify

A few ways, you could keep a local copy in another encrypted file and compare them after each load, you could also keep a cloud file that you compare after and loaf

toxic crypt
#

because I want to implement rewarded ads and IAPs

#

or should Ifind a publisher to handle security?

rough granite
ivory bobcat
fast relic
toxic crypt
#

rn my game is simply writing game resources when game closed, and reading from cloud when game starts

#

if I use cloud code

#

will it be better?

fast relic
toxic crypt
#

yeah , resource generations is happening on client

hi guys, do you recommend buying courses to learn unity like this one? i want to learn at least the basics.

#

then .... cloud code to triggern resources from server or the unity economy will handle the things itself?

my friend learned C# in 2 days😭

scarlet pasture
#

u mean after the "."??

wind apex
#

i used chatgpt to create an game and i wanted a script for when if the player touches an object the screen will fade and change to another scene. using UnityEngine;

public class GlowingObjectTrigger : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SceneFader fader;
    public string nextSceneName = "DreamScene"; // change this to your scene

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            StartCoroutine(fader.FadeAndLoadScene(nextSceneName));
        }
    }
}

this is what it came up with. however i do not get teleported to the other scene

scarlet pasture
#

i will try it

#

u right

#

yeah but for a commercial game it would not be enaugh

wind apex
#

i have 0 experience in C#

#

its for a school project

yeah use ai but try to learn with it. im also new and im also using AI like here =>

#

for now i just want to get finished with this project and then work on some of my OWN ideas and leanr with it

naive pawn
#

it's a tool that needs experience to be used correctly - you don't have the necessary experience as a beginner

#

it will hallucinate, that is part of how LLMs are designed - you need extensive experience to be able to filter the bullshit

#

it will do far more harm than good. just use reputable sources instead

#

cc @wind apex ^

wind apex
#

Ok

scarlet pasture
#

90% asking here, 10/% AI

sour fulcrum
#

do 90% google, 10% ask here

scarlet pasture
#

hahaha

sour fulcrum
#

(not a joke)

naive pawn
#

yeah that's pretty good advice

#

just cut AI out

#

it will harm you in the long run

tired python
#

i got a problem. I want to make a highscore label which correctly logs the highscore everytime the player dies. thing is, it does not work because it ends up starting from 0 all over again when i press restart. should i make the highscore a global variable outside of the public class player? will that work? or is it that everything in unity requires to be made inside the derived class

cosmic dagger

Facts. It has been proven that 90% of questions — here — can be answered through a Google search. The other 10% is where we actually get involved (and conduct our own Google search), lol . . .

paper delta
#

wow

#

C# is so fun and easy to learn

#

well

#

the basics

#

ig

#

im learning about variables it is so easy

#

i dont even have to write code inside visual studio

hot wadi
#

I suppose all the method of ‘Physics’ must be kept inside FixedUpdate, right?

paper delta
#

do i have to code this while learning the basics cause i honestly just have it stored in my brain

hot wadi
#

I never noticed when I use them in Update and now it’s causing some weird glitch when I ‘teleport’ my character

hot wadi
paper delta
#

alright ill make something basic rq with all my knowledge

tired python

damn it

#

i forgot the thing before WriteLine

wasnt it console?

U are setting the “HighScore” to the ‘Score’ variable

No wait, I’m on phone. This is hard to look at

tired python

still not working

#

this might be a bit easier to look at

these are all the codes which work to make the highscore work

@hot wadi

paper delta
#

yup im getting nowhere

hot wadi
#

Lol, u have to put your code in Start and Update

#

Otherwise they dont run

sour fulcrum
#

yesnt

tired python
#

but think about it, i have another variable called score

sour fulcrum
#

you dont have to use those two

#

but something does need to call CheckHighScore

paper delta
hot wadi
#

Yeah well they are not calling checkhighsore anywhere at the moment

#

All u did was defining the function

tired python
sour fulcrum
#

something calls it

#

that isnt shown in those screenshots

#

what do you do that makes it call?

tired python
#

wait a sec

paper delta
#

ive fixed lua scripts before

tired python
#

oh ya, sry it is called

paper delta
#

now that i think of it

tired python
#

so i need to make a call inside update?

sour fulcrum
#

call when its needed, which could or could not be update

#

when should checkhighscore run? logically

tired python
sour fulcrum
#

your not wrong but your a little early

#

why would you want to run checkhighscore

tired python
#

because i have been updating score up until now, and then once the collision which ends the game occurs, i wanna use whatever is stored inside score to be stored in highscore

sour fulcrum
#

right

paper delta
#

OH

#

i see the problem here now

tired python
#

and that highscore needs to be stored globally

sour fulcrum
#

so you would want to do this check when score changes

#

which right now is in oncollision, hence not being wrong

#

but just in general try to think about the logic step by step here

tired python
#

wait lemme try

sour fulcrum
#

OnCollisionEnter -> Check if it's the interaction you want -> set score as a result of that check -> check high score as a result of the score being set

paper delta
#

im kinda getting mad

#

it says y does not exist

tired python
#

ok wait a sec

sour fulcrum
#

OnCollisionEnter is one of the initial jumping off points for code in unity but its not the only one (eg. start and update)

tired python
#

lemme try that

#

bruh, i haven't been calling checkhighscore up until now anywhere when a collision occurs

#

i am dumb

sour fulcrum
#

anyone trying to learn isn't dumb

tired python
#

i thought CheckHighScore worked like OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)

paper delta
#

im so confused

tired python
#

didn't know that OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) is in-built

tired python
sour fulcrum
#

yeah its not uncommon for newbies to be confused by that

#

unitys kinda "magical" functions

paper delta
#

im really new so

tired python
paper delta
#

its my first ever script

#

basic i know

tired python
#

which symbol do you use to make the compile know that?

paper delta
#

; this

tired python
#

yes

#

are you ending all the lines with this?

paper delta
#

no cause some i dont see on

tired python
#

but you should right?

paper delta
#

some

this is so bad for my first scriptnotlikethis

namespace?

tired python
#

also, before anyone says, yes you should go to a C# server for this but just for now...it's aight

balmy vortex
#

is there any easier way to do this or like wat's going on

paper delta

#

also, this is for unity related question, go to a C# discord server...

instead of spamming a bunch of code blocks across several messages and flooding the chat, you are expected to share large code blocks via a link to a paste service

#

anyway, since you don't want to post the code correctly i'll just say this: make sure your scene is actually saved in the correct state before you enter play mode.

tired python
#

what the hell

why are you sharing an htm file

did you do something dumb like download the page instead of clicking the in-website save button to share the link?

Howdie! im making a flappy bird like game for practice and ive made the script and all works fine , but theres something weird happening
everywhere the score is set to 0 , but when i boot up the game it automatically adds 1 , and the first pipe doesnt give any points , it only starts adding points from the second one ```using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class LogicScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public int playerScore = 0;
public Text scoreText;
public GameObject gameOverScreen;
public AudioSource dingSFX;
[ContextMenu("Increase Score")]
public void addScore(int scoreToAdd)
{
playerScore += scoreToAdd;
scoreText.text = playerScore.ToString();
dingSFX.Play();
}
public void resetGame()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
}

public void gameOver()
{
    gameOverScreen.SetActive(true);
}

}


and this is the call to the function
```using UnityEngine;

public class PipeMiddleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public LogicScript logic;
    public Birdscript birdscript;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        logic = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<LogicScript>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (!collision.CompareTag("Player"))
            return;

        Birdscript bs = collision.GetComponent<Birdscript>();
        if (bs != null && bs.birdIsAlive)
        {
            if (logic != null)
                logic.addScore(1);
        }
    }

in that case make sure the method isn't being called twice by having more than one collider on one of the relevant objects

hot wadi

#

if the UI already says 1, then it won't be changed until the score reaches 2 because it isn't updated to say 0 ever and when the score reaches 1 it's just going to be updated to say 1

hot wadi
#

It's the default text u put in the Inspector of the UI text

reef dune
#

ok it works now but why does the ding happen?

#

Its supposed to only activate the audio source on point added

slender nymph
#

make sure that Play On Awake isn't selected on the audio source

I guess i got fooled by my own code 😭

Unity is confusing in comparison to godot

but feels so much better

What seems to be code-related may not be code-related at all

i've been a bit stuck on how to make my pseudo-pathfinding system and i've realised that i could potentially use dijkstra's algorithm or a breadth-first search to find routes between nodes at the start and then store them for use, only changing them if the terrain changes (which probably won't happen). would this be difficult to implement?

tired python
limber turtle

and would it be possible to have it navigate through every empty/non-contact tile on my tilemap?

I am assuming this thing makes it visible

thats just you getting the text reference

Just reference the GameObjdct and set it to inactive

you're just getting the object, not doing anything with it

oh, I am just referencing the ui doc then

What part of the code displays it then??

Like for restart I get, it's setting false then true

from the video you sent, that thing already enable on the scene

but for label, that ain't the case...atleast not for the scoree

are you turning it off anywhere? ui documents are enabled by default

and i think if i can figure out how to do that properly i can find all the routes at the start of the game and then just use them until the terrain changes at all

#

which might happen but isn't guaranteed

#

i've kinda given up on a* because i had no idea how to implement it properly

#

so i'm thinking i might as well find a way to implement an easier but worse version myself

Listen, I'm trying to make a top-down restaurant game like penguin dinner, but I'm afraid I'm not pretty sure what to do next. I set everything up, so everything has collision and even the player moves. However, I'm not sure what to do next. I'll probably need to make the clients system, when like in Penguin Dinner when you click the client and next you click a table, the client walks to the table. However I have no clue how to do that in code, so any help would be appreciated

ah, Cookie got it

changing its "display" style to None will cause it to disappear

Gotcha

#

swift crag
#

That's the more annoying part here

limber turtle
#

but i can't use it properly

swift crag
#

i'd start out by just making the enemy fly towards the player and steer away from walls

#

it might get stuck in corners, but it's a reasonable first step

tired python
limber turtle
fast relic
limber turtle
#

i might just do it with all the tiles and their adjacencies, then make shortcuts based on what my enemy can directly see

#

make a route first and find shortcuts on the way

swift crag
#

for flying enemies in a sparse level, you don't need much more than "charge the player"

limber bolt
limber turtle
#

the flying enemies shoot projectiles

fast relic
limber turtle
#

and if they can already see the player, they run on different movement code

tired python
limber bolt
fast relic
# limber bolt Yeah, and moves the character

well for detecting clicks, google (or your search engine of choice) is your friend
as for moving the character, you can just change its position in a straight line towards the table or move it between a few preset key points, should work fine for a static map

As far as i know you shouldn't use fixed update for rigidbody movement as it already has its own update timing

i read the values and inputs with Update and handle the movement with FixedUPdate

because that's probably what's causing this issue

yep, so because it's positioning is based on the things around it, it will only ever be positioned correctly with that setup when your other objects are being displayed as well

i never did somthing like that but i think this would help me in the future ALOT

From AI

wintry quarry
#

You said "or are they simpler ways to achive that?"

But in your entire first paragraph I have no idea what the thing is that you are trying to achieve

scarlet pasture
#

Hey, I’m currently working on my spider AI. I use around 5 scripts (like Brain, Movement, Combat, etc.) and I need a way to debug how it behaves.

The spider can do multiple attacks — biting or spitting — and has a survival instinct (it should run away if its HP is too low). But right now, everything is kind of weak and spaghetti-coded since it’s my first real enemy.

For debugging, I was thinking: could I make a singleton that finds every spider in the scene (maybe with a tag like "Spider") and stores all their scripts (like SpiderBrain, SpiderCombatSystem, etc.) in a list — so I can enable/disable them all at runtime with a single bool in the inspector?

I’ve never done something like that, but I feel like it would help a lot in the future.

Or is there a simpler way to achieve this?

wintry quarry
scarlet pasture
#

i want to make, "Enemy dont move"

#

"dont do somthing"

#

"Dont Attack me if in near"

wintry quarry
#

Sure you could do that. But I wouldn't use tags necessarily.

#

Do you have some singleton that is spawning all the spiders int he first place?

#

That would be the best place from which to track all of them

scarlet pasture
timber tide
#

Ideally the manager system that creates the spiders would create the list and knows all about them, but if you wanted to have it such that each object is more independent, you would do a singleton with some subscription system that you would subscribe to on start

its the same?, but i think im gona code that for learning

#

and if i do thatß? i dont need to make a Singelton?

#

i mean why should I?

wintry quarry
#

I thought you wanted one central place to do it from

#

If you manually are clicking the boxes in the inspector, you need to do it for all the spiders manually

(or select them all at once)

but i also should work with a normal MonoBeahvoir, i used this => FindObjectsByType for finding all active Scripts and maked trhem in a var Variabel. Than i used a "for" locig that enableas them all

you did not reference it at all

you have a variable that can hold a reference

how do I assign the variable to a script then?

you can't call classes, that's not a thing you can do

you already have using statement for it, you don't need to

so i only can say Random.Range?

yes

because im using "using UnityEngine"

i dont neeed to do that?

right

it can help with sometimes ambiguity between UnityEngine.Random and System.Random
but thats easy to solve with adding using Random = UnityEngine.Random

its not so much about the colors, yes thats a gauge usually but also when you type you should see Unity api stuff

scarlet pasture
#

excusy me nav, i just forget to add the Reference

#

why is it bad to make a fallback reference... i mean cant it not be that i dont no the Computer forget to use the References from Unity and dont find the Reference. i now u all tryd to expain that so me but i really need to understand that.

rich adder
rich adder
scarlet pasture
# rich adder what do you mean a fallback reference ?

like i used in awake a if(!abc) abd = get... etc, in Awake call to be sure unity dont have to 100% all references needed. i did that all the time but im not doing that, ´because alot of perople telled me thats not a nessery stepp i can use the Inspektor

stable coral
rich adder
#

cases where its not possible for example, the object is a prefab and needs scene reference

#

but doing Awake () myThing = GetComponent<>(); is unecessary and there is a very tiny performance cost, so multiply that with many components over many objects and they add up

scarlet pasture
#

but why does awake call even exist?

#

what would need to be load so fast, faster than start call

rich adder
#

to setup objects usually

#

think of it as unitys component to a Constructor

#

You setup your values there, Awake run once, always (unless gameobject is disabled)
Start does not run if the Script itself is disabled (checkMark on the component only shows if you have Start, Update etc.)

#

for example You want to setup a singleton, You usually do that in Awake
so other scripts are ready to access it in their Start

#

if you did both on separate sripts Awake you will have Order of script cause a Null Reference, that objects Awake (singleton setup) may have not finished running before the other scipts tries to access it

scarlet pasture
#

AI

#

**“What if I reference everything in the first scene using the Inspector, but then I create a new scene — Unity will lose all those references, right? Let’s say I don’t have any fallback logic, so I’d have to manually set every reference again for each GameObject.

Would Unity actually save those references per scene? For example, if I build my game, does Unity understand that in the first scene, Field A is referencing the Player, but in the second scene, that same field should only reference a Transform instead of the Player?”**

rich adder
#

Inspector references are saved per scene not globally

scarlet pasture
#

so unity also never new about the Player from scene 1

#

okay i understand what u mean

rich adder
#

when you load a new scene, scene object references are lost unless you handle them manually
If you want persistent references across scenes use DontDestroyOnLoad.

scarlet pasture
#

when i change the scene? and unity losses all of the references? did this mean unity deletet them all of the memory?

rich adder
#

everything from scene1 will be deleted unless its carried over DDOL

#

memory clears

scarlet pasture
#

so how can unity then switch from scene 1 to 2 and than back to 1 again

it creates a " new scene "

#

settings from scene 1 will not carry over to scene2 and when you switch back to scene1

#

as far as unity is concerned you are starting them brand new again

#

unless we implement data persistance / DDOL objects

I am trying to use the collision sound when player crashes. I can't seem to be able to get it right.

FindGameObjectsWithTag

scarlet pasture
#

hahaah i make this same alot of the time

tired python
#

FindGameObjectsWithTag

scarlet pasture
#

no s

tired python
#

O_O

scarlet pasture
#

only FindGameObjectWithTag

#

HAHAHAA

tired python
#

ahh shoot me

scarlet pasture
#

i also make that too

tired python
#

pls

rich adder
#

btw you can search directly for a component if only 1 exists

#

skips the GetComponent / tag search

tired python
#

how right am i to say that this game is structured in an absolutely dog way?

rich adder
#

I mean first projects are always gonna be like that

scarlet pasture
#

i feel u pain

tired python
#

this is a pain in the neck

rich adder
#

that is a major reason why most first projects are meant more for learning than production ready

tired python
#

i will need to theory the shii out of that book for solids after this is over

rich adder
#

SOLID are good concepts but they are not Law

#

you can break SOLID and still write good clean code

tired python
#

i mean yeah, but that's a good baseline for me. Do you think there's an optimal way to study architecutre?

#

or is it just experience?

rich adder
#

imo practical uses

#

yes it comes with experience, you eventually create your own system based on those that have worked in the past such as SOLID

tired python
#

O_o

rich adder
#

but understanding WHY you would even use anything in SOLID and alike, imo is much more important

#

You will not see a benefit if you start writing SOLID out the gate, it will not make sense

tired python
#

so everyone has a personal template they follow? how do people even begin collaborating then?

rich adder
#

they establish a baseline / specific to the project and Team

tired python
#

oh...so its more standardised

rich adder
#

yea, consistency is the real importance

#

even as basic as "lets write our variables with the C# standard" eg everyone writes Methods as PascalCasing etc.

#

so if you personally use camelCasing for everything, thats for your own consistency as solo. But in a team everyone conforms to the same standards

swift bane
#

Can you help me on how to make a first person player with 3D capsule in Unity 6.2? The input system confused me a bit. While people were saying that it needed to be activated, I did not see the activation part in the tutorials.

is triplanar UV calculation suppose to be glitchy?

public static float[] CalculateTriplanarUVs(Vector3 position, Vector3 normal) {
    Vector3 absN = new Vector3(Math.Abs(normal.x), Math.Abs(normal.y), Math.Abs(normal.z));
    if (absN.x > absN.y && absN.x > absN.z) {
        return new float[] { position.y, position.z };
    } else if (absN.y > absN.z) {
        return new float[] { position.x, position.z };
    } else {
        return new float[] { position.x, position.y };
    }
}

where you would do it with 3 texture samples and blend between then with your normal and mapping directions dot product

rain solar
shell sorrel
#

well what are you trying to do, but in my experience triplanner mapping is something you will be doing in the shader so you can blend things

#

and also so you do not have to worry about a meshes uv's since its most often applied in world space coords not object or uv

rain solar
#

im trying to get UVS to apply a texture

rocky canyon

#

2.3 Blending Based on Normal

shell sorrel
#

yeah 3 texture samples on the 3 different planes

#

blend by doting a normal with one of those plane normals

rocky canyon
#

im just barely holding on 🤣 catlikecoding is boss-level material for me.. i don't get into shaders that much

#

basically what my clip up top shows the back cube doing 👇

image.png
rain solar
#

i have to write shader code for this 😭

shell sorrel
#

its simple to do in shader graph as well

rocky canyon
#

^ i think they even have an awesome Mapping node that takes care of alot of it for you

shell sorrel
#

has a node for it, even if not, its just 3 texture samples 2 dots and 2 lerps

rain solar
#

i dont think its just a blending issue cause look at these weird spots

#

i'd say try shader or shadergraph first ^ before beating urself up anymore

rain solar
rocky canyon
#

just to see what the outcome would be

shell sorrel
#

it does work and look better with more organic looking things

shell sorrel
rain solar
#

i thought UVS were texture coordinates

shell sorrel
#

the terms get fuzzy, often wehn people here uv's they think of the uv data on a mesh

#

the input on texture sample is also called uv but also you can feed other stuff into it like world coords

rain solar
#

so what data besides UVs would i be passing to the shader for the texture to latch onto

shell sorrel
#

you do not need them for triplanner

rocky canyon
#

with triplanar mapping you can basically generate them on the fly in teh shader instead of relying on any of the mesh's uv

shell sorrel
#

the shader will calculate its own texture coords via world coords

rocky canyon
#

every point in space gets a valid texxture coordinate automatically

rain solar
#

so its the exact same thing as what im doing now but happening in the shader

#

i dont see how that fixes it

shell sorrel
#

because it can blend

rocky canyon
#

b/c they spend tons of resources making it work as good as it does..

shell sorrel
#

its doing 3 texture samples and blenidng the result

rain solar
#

but i could also blend in my cpu code right?

shell sorrel
#

but why would you

#

this is literally what shaders are for

rocky canyon
#

reinvents the wheel lol

rain solar
#

cause i dont know shader language, i dont know how shaders work, i dont know what to put the shader on, and i dont want to define a fully custom material render pipeline node

shell sorrel
#

we showed its literally a node

#

you can do it in shader graph with 1 node

#

to do this all cpu you would be rendering textures

rain solar
#

i can compute the UVs with blending

#

and let default pipeline take care of it

shell sorrel
#

and it would be much more complicted then doing it in shader

sour fulcrum
rocky canyon
shell sorrel
#

you would just not computing blended coords not sampling 3 things and blenidng the resulting color

#

those are very different things

rain solar
#

mk lemme try this

shell sorrel
#

shader graph is nothing like doing shaders by hand, its more or less just acting as input to a more complicated shader

rocky canyon
#

TL;DR: generating UVs is trivial; proper triplanar mapping requires per-pixel texture sampling and blending, which is why shaders are used.

shell sorrel
#

it is meant to be useable even by just artists

rocky canyon
#

you should really just learn and dabble in shader-graph regardless

#

opens up a whole ton of possibilities for you

#

ur over there re-inventing the wheel..
while shader-graph is 🎵 ridin' spinners.. lol.. just kidden ofc.. but yea it is a pretty awesome tool-set

rain solar
shell sorrel
#

its currently clamped

rain solar
#

upping the scale factor makes it less grey. Thank you! ❤️

image.png
shell sorrel
#

yeah has 2 blending modes too and a few other options

rocky canyon
rain solar
#

can triplanar just not do sharp edges?
i had to use a pow(64) scale factor

image.png
shell sorrel
#

i feel you are aksing for a impossible thing

#

like if you want things mapped in a 100% perfect to the shape way you have to do that in a 3d pacakge by hand

#

since triplanner its in the name its making 3 projections and blending them togeather

#

it works best on organic textures or things with more noise in them

rain solar
#

what would you use for sharp objects?

#

not that i have sharp objects, im just curious

shell sorrel
#

well first i would need to know why you are doing this and its usecase

rain solar
#

procedural meshes

rocky canyon
#

welp, that rules out what i was typing..

shell sorrel
#

and generated how?

#

and for what purpose

rain solar
#

manifold dual contouring

#

minecraft without blocks

shell sorrel
#

yeah i would likly stick with the triplanner then for that

#

for other types of procedural meshes i would just make appriorate uv's when i generate the mesh

rocky canyon
#

you'll probably just need to find a happy medium

#

this manifold contouring stuff looks wild lol

shell sorrel
#

pros and cons of it all, have to find the best balance for the usecase then make the art work with the used approach

rain solar
#

can triplanar sample from a texture atlas or does it need to use the same texture for the whole mesh

rocky canyon
#

Abstract—Dual Contouring is a feature-preserving iso-surfacing method that extracts crack-free surfaces from both uniform and adaptive octree grids.
🫠 melted my brain there for a second lol

sorry I'm like really new, but I have the foundation for C# but I'm really lost for actual unity scripting, whats the best way to learn?

shell sorrel

#

unity learn is the most common answer.. u can find that in the pinned section ^

shell sorrel
#

and that knowing other approaches like ray marching would help reason about it

rocky canyon
#

just start with one of the pathways

do my maze generator looking good? using recursive backtracking algorithm

I don't see an exit though

or do they start in the middle?

slate summit

my sphere falls through the ground did i do something wrong?

rain solar
#

does the ground have a collider

slate summit
#

yeah

wintry quarry
#

so yeah

cosmic dagger
#

it's a trigger . . .

slate summit
#

oh trigger causes that?

#

why though

wintry quarry
#

trigger makes it non physical

#

triggers are just there to trigger code

shell sorrel
#

its the point of triggers is they do not collide

regal geyser
wintry quarry
#

I would expect one entrance, one exit

idk if its the best but its a really cool algorithm and beats recursion
