i got this err now

[sleek eagle]

Reinstall Unity. You got a unity 2020 folder in a unity 2021 folder. Idk how you pulled that off @glossy sluice

[glossy sluice]

alr!

[glossy sluice]

i did what u said but this err now

[sleek eagle]

Delete all unity builds, unity hub and delete any unity folders and then download unity hub again. Idk what is happening to your folders, but this isn't much of a unity issue anynore

[glossy sluice]

ah ok!

I have a game that involves moving a ball to the place where a user touches the screen. It also has a screen space overlay canvas with an image button on it. When the button is clicked, it resets the game. Clicking the button resets the game fine, but I'm finding that it is causing the ball to move to the location of the reset button as well, which I do not want

We are trying to determine the best way to get the current unity rendered frame as a pixel buffer in swift ios, so we can stream it. We are currently using swizzling to do this, but it is very timer heavy and fragile which causes a lot of crashes. any advice/help is much appreciated!

[gaunt spire]

Hello, we are working on a flutter IOS app with Unity integration and we have been facing an issue of app not building on Xcode due a Unity library issue and we are not able to push it for testing. Could anyone possibly help us with this?

Does anyone have experience of publishing flutter app on IOS with Unity integration?

[grand yarrow]

guys can i download android build support after unity has been installed

[odd arrow]

Modules are installed from the Hub. Make sure you have enough space and Hub is not being blocked.

[grand yarrow]

i have unity hub but i can not find a option to download android support my unity has been installed do i have to reintall the editor

[odd arrow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html

The menu is under the gear on your install in the Hub, select Add Modules

[grand yarrow]

ok

[grand yarrow]

there is no add modules option for me

[odd arrow]

Then you've installed Unity outside of the Hub. Use the Hub to reinstall it already with modules.

[grand yarrow]

ok

[glossy sluice]

i did it still got errors

[sleek eagle]

Did you install both android modules with the editor?
And are they selected in preferences - external tools?

[glossy sluice]

kemme check

[glossy sluice]

i did for the android moduke

[sleek eagle]

Looks good
Maybe google the new error?

[glossy sluice]

alr i will try

[dull prairie]

Guys I have a problem with my android game

The touch inputs or the buttons aren't working in the build

But it is working in editor

Any solutions

?

[sleek eagle]

@dull prairiePost code

[dull prairie]

There is no error in code

Its working perfectly in editor

[analog plover]

Then what do you expect us to do?

[sleek eagle]

Also no logs from the phone?
And again, post code

[brazen birch]

If that was true, it would be working on Android.

[sleek eagle]

You technically could check if the platform was android and if so return

[rotund knot]

Hey, Have you fixed the errors?

[glossy sluice]

no!

[glossy sluice]

why?

[glacial light]

Hello, i have a RectTransform doesnt display in a Android Build when i set a width at 90000. That display correctly in the PC Build and Editor.
And if i set the width at 5000 the Android Build that display correctly
Someone know why and how to solve that ? Do we have a maximum limit for float/Vector2 for Android Build ? thanks for help

[wind talon]

Made in Unity

Imma add a video later on how to use (and maybe make the text boxes a little bigger too)

So technically this is a app that let's you make chatbots by defining how you would like a conversation to go

Could anyone help me with this. We have used unity for AR in our application on IOS.

[twin oak]

Ive never used Unity to make a non game app is it good for that or should I go Visual Studio with Xamarin?

[rain leaf]

what kind of non game app? if it's require constant screen update (like AR app, or camera app) then unity might still good, else, use something else, preferably native (like android studio or xcode)

[twin oak]

Kind of constant screen update but not like that, it will have timers that run for different amount of times as a reminder to the user of certain things. But other then that just a basic forms style with drop down choices.

I have experience with Unity and Visual Studio Xamarin so just trying to figure out which will be better for this project. I dont want to learn a new program like Android Studio ect rly

[brazen birch]

We used it for our Blackfoot Language App as it has AR, same with our Cue Recognize as it is AR as well. It's bigger. A lot more work to get a high quality UI. Some things will run slower. But it works for most cases as long as you have a need for it

If it's just a basic UI app, it would be far more performant, faster to make, etc. To just use a normal cross platform framework like Xamarin

But ionic and react mobile are probably quicker still.. I didn't mind Xamarin but it isn't as flexible as ionic

[rain leaf]

The problem with using unity for non app game is battery drains, it's fine if the app use camera or update the screen like every 30 fps, but otherwise, user will complain about their battery getting drained, or their phone getting warm from the usage

[brazen birch]

It's also less usable. You now need plugins to access core native frameworks, and the UI doesn't behave consistently across devices

[twin oak]

OK perfect thank you both for your input I will indeed go back to VS for this app 🙂

[gaunt spire]

Could anyone help me with this?

[wooden basin]

I think you have a missmatch in your xcode project that tries to build both 32 and 64-bit ios app

Hi I am trying to add firebase to my project. I added google services json and imported the sdk for cloud messaging which is what i need, but I am getting a "Firebase" namespace not found error. Am I missing a step? I am following the documentations

[jolly tulip]

Target is Android and API level is 19

[vocal stone]

did you add a using statement for it?

[glossy sparrow]

Hello, I don't know if anyone understands much about the subject, but I hope you can help me.
When uploading my game update to the Play Store I get this error

But I don't know how to solve it, I need to reduce the weight of the aab, I have searched many sites and nothing.

[jolly tulip]

I did. And actually it looks like the packages didn't import properly. I just imported the SDK again and now it seems to be working fine.

[vocal stone]

reduce your textures and file sizes in general.. there's lots of info on build sizes

[glossy sparrow]

how i can reduce this

[forest marsh]

Hi, I get this error when I try to publish a game on the Play Store

I am using version 2021.2.7f1

I have scoured the internet and couldn't find a fix

Any idea on how to solve this?

[tender summit]

can someone give me a gues why is it not registering any installs?

i checked everything and it all seems good

[forest marsh]

Never mind, I installed version 2021.3.6f1 and the problem was solved

[tender summit]

anyone?

[finite tendon]

Hi, I need help with a weird issue.
I'm building a VR application for Meta Quest, which is an android device, I have a custom manifest and when I upload the apk on the Oculus dev software, it does tell me that I use a camera permission that is not compatible :

But I don't have any permissions asking for the camera :

Is there anywhere else it could be as an android ? Somewhere to analyse my own application permissions ?

[finite tendon]

Ok so I found out, there was a script in a SDK I'm using that was asking for the permission, it was in the example folder so I wasn't aware of it :/

[forest shadow]

Hey yall
idk who wanted to know this but if you have a published game, i found a good analytics tracker for it. it works good for ios especially
its called MIKROS, https://developer.tatumgames.com/
it does tracking and gives analytics and stuff

[tender summit]

does anyone have an idea why it doesnt ping installs?

[rain leaf]

it can take about 2-3 days until installs get updated, just sit back and dont worry too much about it

[civic sluice]

whats that network? it can take 2/3 days as the previous message says, depending on the network

looks like Facebook, it could take even a week sometimes

[glossy sluice]

idk much abt gradle, anyone wanna help rq? don't know what to do exporting to apk. realized i can't put on iOS my first intention when they got a yearly sub, need mac, didn't wanna publish publicly..
so exporting to apk gives these problems, on top of it, galaxy s21 won't remote test with error D:

[brazen birch]

I don't understand most of that - but if you click on the error that says "2 failures" it will tell you why gradle failed inside the error message.

[glossy sluice]

It says previous posts here that gradle 6.1.1 is for the current builds, so i downloaded that, idk how to put it so i just drag drop the whole folder with 999+ errors lol

hi im unable to connect my device with unity remote 5 to the ediotor

[glossy sluice]

srry for the drawing. i just got bored and even forgot i did that 2 mins ago

[glossy sluice]

so i am able to connect and display the screen but im unable to interact. im guessing the errors on install are the reason why remote isnt interacting. is there anywhere i can find a fix for this?

im unable to interact with the game with touches. no where. not on buttons or player. unity remote build

[tender summit]

i see i wuld assume it works fine? this is what it shows when i start the game in unity

i wuld assume it works

Hello guys, i have a question regarding building the bundles.

Hi , which AD system do you advice and why ?
I hear Google ADMob have a better remuneration than Unity ADS and seem very easy to implement

[storm stream]

this is my game icon and this is how it appears when installed, why is that?

[fallen compass]

because that's how Android does it's icons

It doesn't shrink your image to fit

and not all versions of Android have the same shape. It differs between vendors. Google's Android is a circle, IIRC and Samsung is that ^

[steel pecan]

if you want a official template on how to position / scale icons

[potent berry]

Hello, Just a quick Q. on unity game window my EXTREMELY simple game runs smooth but on remote and as an actual application it lags. Any fix to make android games run better?

[tired lily]

you'll have to profile it and figure out why it's running slowly

[neon thicket]

Remote is a stream, not a real test of the game. You need to build it.

[potent berry]

Even the build is laggy

[neon thicket]

Then you profile at that point

[potent berry]

OK ty

Even when its completely fine in the preview?

[neon thicket]

Well your computer is not your phone, so yes.

[indigo condor]

the system was failing, sorry for late reply

[indigo condor]

a week? wow and i thought apple was slow

[covert rampart]

apples system i assume?
it did eventually fix. but i used git to go back to a previous commit when it did work and it was fixed. now im not sure if its good timing or if it actually did the trick.

[covert rampart]

on weekends, its probably a day or day. weekdays is less than a day. for me its been within a few hours @final otter

it also might depend on how new your account is

even apple has gotten faster these days

used to be a few days to a week, now its < 12 hours

Guys, I'm having a problem using unity's Input field on android. When you press the "back" button, the field gets reseted and you lose what u've typed...

Hello guys , i want to upload screenshots on app store for app publishing, i developed this app on windows and build on virtual machine xcode, virtual machine cant run simulator couse of reasons, so i cant take screenshots there, nor have real devices. now i want to try take screenshots in unity, i have code for taking screenshot, but i found one problem there. apple wants screenshots on 2nd and 3rd generation ipads, those two have same resolutions, but thing is when first time i uploaded screens i took them on my friends laptop and they look different on these two ipads couse of botom line

how do you think will apple take same screenshots for those two?

or i should photoshop bottom line

or there is no easy way, i have to take screenshots on real device or simulator?

[neon thicket]

All that matters is the dimensions are correct. It doesn't really matter where you take them.

We've done our screenshots inside of Unity despite having the device, it's just easier.

[tawny radish]

Thanks for quick answer ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[indigo condor]

yeah, apple servers were launching that error for eveybody who was trying to build , us too.

Hi guys im getting an error when i try to run my application on Android and iOS im getting this error:

2022-07-28 10:39:56.774 24694-24979 E/Unity: -------- GLSL link error: The number of vertex shader storage blocks (1) is greater than the maximum number allowed (0).

Some element are invisible since im getting this error, in the editor they work fine, i updated my unity engine to the 2020.3.37f1 to try to solve this error with out any luck.

I think the problem is the native shader ‘Particles/Standard Unlit

Is there any similar shader I can try to test?

[tawny radish]

Hello again, unity 2020.3.2f1 cant build for api level 31 and 31+, one problem for me is what to do with old apps when it comes time to update them, but that is problem for future, now i want to choose new unity version for new game, and looks like LTS means not much for unity (at list with current information in my hands) so what is the best version with your experience to build simple mobile Android/iOs games without having problems with new api build and similar things. If you don't know either maybe you know best way to choose new version and show me the way

[sleek eagle]

I'd say the latest 2020 lts. Latest 2021lts if you need any of the new features

How can I build Android version for v7, m64 and x86?

[tribal ledge]

if I "build and run" but install fails, is there a way to re try that without re-building?

[rain leaf]

try copying the apk and install it manually? (that said, I'm not sure if the apk is updated when install fail, but you can just check the file update date to make sure)

[tribal ledge]

This works? installing doens't do more than just copying the file?

[rain leaf]

it should work, installing is different from just copying ofcourse

[rough wagon]

Try older hub maybe

Oh I gtg, if you haven't gotten it tomorrow. I might try to help you again

In my experience it depends, from 1-2 hours up to 24 hours, I think it depends on the region you are located in but it's just my guess

Is unity installed in a custom directory?

[white needle]

I'm on ubuntu and unity is installed in the home directory

[sleek eagle]

Upgrade to the latest 2021 lts and try again. Otherwise just change the packages manifest file to manually add the package

[sleek eagle]

Ah, don't know enough about linux. Seems to be unity can't access certain folders?

[sleek eagle]

Get the latest LTS of 2020 or 2021 versions, then go to player settings and enable them.

@white needle maybe ask on the forums for linux btw

[tight widget]

Thank you \o

[white needle]

i installed the sdk and jdk manually and used that but then i get 11 other errors

[sleek eagle]

Ahhh

Does it work if you let unity hub install them?

[white needle]

I often reinstalled the editor and it didn't work

[sleek eagle]

Did you include android support and submodules as well?

[fallen compass]

We have an oldish app (ProjectA).. that I inherited when I joined the company. It's poorly made with a lot of technical debt.. so, I remade it from scratch (ProjectB) to be maintainable and re-usable as a template for future projects.
It's getting to a point now where the published builds on Android/ iOS (built from ProjectA) will need replacing with builds from ProjectB.
Is this as easy I hope? Can I just set the package name in B the same as A? Use the same keystore (for Android) and then upload to the stores..?

[neon thicket]

Yeah, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

[fallen compass]

Oh good, cheers!

[brisk furnace]

I was trying to install Device Simulator (using 2021.3.7), but I could not find it from the package manager. I enabled the pre-release packages and all but nothing. So I dediced installed it trough manifest.json by adding "com.unity.device-simulator": "3.0.3-preview". After Unity recompiled, the Device Simulator package now throws me compiler errors.
Has someone else encountered this or managed to get the Device Simulator working with the newer versions?

[brisk furnace]

I got this working by uninstalling the whole Unity version then closing the Unity Hub, opening it again as administrator and installing the whole Unity version again. It is a long process but it worked for me.

[white needle]

I did it 3 times

And it didnt worked

[white needle]

Yea sure

[sleek eagle]

Always tell which errors occur

[sleek eagle]

Might be dependencies you also need preview for. Can you check the dependencies of the regular version in the package manager?

[brisk furnace]

What do you mean with "regular version"? 🤔

[sleek eagle]

My bad, didn't know there hasn't been a stable version.
Does it show anything in the manager about dependencies?

[brisk furnace]

Is using and used by is "none"

[sleek eagle]

Screenshot?

[indigo condor]

I guess there's no way around this bug im asking just in case.... the first version of the ios app i sent to appstore had not the version checker implemented (its a simple line i check the current version from the db and compare with the user's version and if the new one is newer i show a dialog)

Since the first version didnt have this line, now i have some users playing the first version without knowing there are new ones.... Is there anyway i can let those users know ? I'm guessing i dont have any way just wanted to be sure.

zooming in:

The way i did it was defining a string path to Application.persistentDataPath, and right after using Path.Combine(path, "..", "..")

So weird its happening when i deploy to my phone

anyone has any clues?

[analog plover]

No, it comes from access being unauthorized

the app has access to the persistent data path but not its parents

[wide peak]

but the path doesnt exist, when it does it is authorized, i tested it

its so weirdddd

[glossy sluice]

Hi fam, so does anyone have an idea where to delete an duplicate class

Duplicate class (whateverclass) found in modules classes.jar (:GooglePlayBilling:) and classes.jar (:billing-3.0.1:)

@everyone
my problem is "The Android App Bundle was not signed", I tried "export and upload a key from java keystore" but it didn't work

[sterile quarry]

what is wrong here

[sleek eagle]

What Unity version?

[sterile quarry]

2020.3.13f1

[sleek eagle]

Maybe try the latest 2020.3 lts

[sterile quarry]

i tried everything but it keeps giving the same result

[sterile quarry]

i tried puting the apk on a emulator

but it did not work

so i am convinced the sdk is at fault

[sleek eagle]

@sterile quarry
Listen to my advice and try the latest 2020 version. Make sure to include the android module and both submodules

[sterile quarry]

yes i am doing so

i have been installing the version

[sterile quarry]

did not work

[sleek eagle]

Are the android, sdk, and ndk modules all checked and installed in unity hub?
@sterile quarry

If so, send a screenshot of the sdk and ndk section in external tools in preferences

[sterile quarry]

here mate

one sec

[rotund knot]

Try build, and manually copy to your device?

[sterile quarry]

tried did not work

it said something went wrong please try again later

[rotund knot]

It says that on your device or unity?

[sterile quarry]

device

[rotund knot]

Have you tested on another device?

[sterile quarry]

on a virtual device

i dont have any other

[rotund knot]

Oops

[sterile quarry]

any solution ?

[hollow sluice]

Hey, is there any solution to avoid freezing the game while watching ADS? (UnityAds). When user is watching ad the game is "suspended" and nothing is doing in the background and when user will close the ad or finish its starting from the place where user started watching the ad

[rotund knot]

Isn't that supposed to be the expected behavior for ads, you want your game to be playing while user is watching ads?

[rotund knot]

how do i get the advertisement id and device name from my android? i mean to copy and paste directly either from the unity editor or android studio

this

even correctly spelling it in resulted in invalid id

im unable to add test device for ads

[tired lily]

there is no ad id in the editor obviously, otherwise on your device go to settings -> google -> ads and you will see your device's ad id

[glossy sluice]

i did, i had to type it in manually

i messed up 5x b4 typing it in correctly

it took 1 hour

now my eyes burn, im upset that i scould just copy and paste instead

[tired lily]

as for actually getting and logging it, we use a package https://github.com/Mini-IT/AdvertisingIdentifierFetcher since Unity changed Application.RequestAdvertisingIdentifierAsync in 2020

[glossy sluice]

ah good thankyou. just what i was looking for this past hour

[sterile quarry]

can someone send me their android jdk, sdk, and ndk files

[glossy sluice]

How do you solved this error

i posted right under that saying:

[radiant anchor]

It's common for my game to look normal on PC but really low resolution on phone?

Does anyone know what might be happening?

Is it because I'm using Remote5?

[neon thicket]

Yes, Remote isn't "on the phone". It's just streaming the editor. You need to make a proper build to do proper testing.

[radiant anchor]

Ok, thanks 👍

Wait so in what situation would you use Remote? Functionality would be the same since it's just showing what the computer sees, testing graphics would be unreliable, the only scenario I can find is testing something with touch, but it's not exactly something you do all the time...

[neon thicket]

I've never had the need to use Remote and personally don't see the use in it.

does using HDR cause my phone to heat up

[warm flare]

hdrp is for high-end graphics, so i think yes

i see

strange that it doesnt impact performance

i guess it does work extra hard for it

HDR != HDRP

When testing very simple animation (with Update() method) on device the animation is kind of janky. Can I turn off some debug settings to get the more realistic result or what is up with that?

You could just google it..

HDR = High Dynamic Range
HDRP = High Definition Render Pipeline

Why is the animation on mobile so "not smooth". The framerate is 30fps. How do you raise it to 60fps on the settings - i tried this Application.framerate but it is not working.

This is by default - animating a simple shap

sape

shape

[karmic frigate]

On your phone, with Unity remote ?

[indigo arch]

Android phone - with cable

debug

Just hitting Build and run with no settings touched

And animating LateUpdate()

[karmic frigate]

the unique solution for me is to connect your cable behind your pc

but im not sure if they are working

[indigo arch]

aha

Hmm - some phones do not allow more than 30fps? I mean it is quite new phone.

60 fps with OpenGLES2

also still drops frames base on the cap when interact with small things like moving sprites

Unity 2021.3.5f1c1

The above is the 2D Renderer result

[glossy sluice]

you can check the unity profiller

I'm not that familiar with mobile

so just thought would ask first

to see if this is a common config issue or what

might be the weaker hardware of the mobile

Is there a way to separate CSharp files based on platform. I have a native plugin that uses some auto generated PINVOKE code which references the dllimport library name. With the static link requirement of IOS I endup with two copies of these files. The documentation discusses wrapping the function decorators with pre-processor statements which is one solution, but I noticed you can filter your DLLs and C code by platform in the plugin folder and I was hoping there might be away to do the same thing with CSharp files

I'm making a mobile game and when I build the game and play it on my phone the text (the amount of coins collected) suddenly appears in the middle of the screen. When testing the game using the unity remote app this doesn't happen .

This is what it looks like in the mobile build

The 1 being the coins collected

This is what it looks like in unity

The 5 being the coins collected

Ope I figured it out

[final herald]

didn't you see "60 fps with OpenGLES2" ?

[glacial magnet]

no

but It work with GLES2 too

I use it for my project

[final herald]

what i mean is the framerate is not capped by the phone's system because it is running 60 fps on GLES2

make sure your text is anchored top left, not center

[languid ruin]

unity compiles an empty project for android, the problem arises in another project (24gb).

[fallen compass]

The project is 24gb or the build is 24gb?

That's probably nothing to do with the gradle error anyway. Which usually spits out a few separate logs.. read each one and find the things that are google-able

[languid ruin]

as I understand it, this gradle Compiler error appears due to the fact that somehow the apk is generated 32bit and there is an overflow of some variable. I don't understand why it generates 32bit if arm64(64bit) is set in player settings. Maybe there is a hidden setting somewhere?

Btw

I used unity ads

[timber wadi]

it automatically appears?

[blazing dune]

it is not 😦

Are you using text mesh pro?

yeah, the new unity versions default to the TMP input fields for some reason

and btw did u switch to mobile platform

idk if that is apart of the problem.

Hmm

It should appear automaticlly

Hello!
I have uploaded a game in google play console

I really need some support

[vestal sable]

I've been using the unity remote to test out my game and sometimes there is massive delay between the input on the unity remote and the code actually running (there isn't any delay on the build) (I test things out every time I make the smallest change so building every time I need to test isn't an option). Could this be due to having a slow usb cable?

[sleek eagle]

That's possible. Or bad drivers, bad PC, too many variables to say what's the issue

[vestal sable]

My laptop isn't too bad. I could send specs if you want. Idk what I could do about bad drivers.

Can someone help me?

Unity Version: 2021.3.6f1

Vulkan is more future oriented however, but it has some issues rn

Oh alr! ty for the info!

[lavish burrow]

Replace android/packagingOptions/doNotStrip with pickFirst

[lusty hamlet]

gotcha Thanks!

nah man.. it doesn't work, maybe i didn't modify the correct gradle? idk it's too complicated for me

this error made me waste 7+ hours.

[lusty hamlet]

sorry for pinging, just let me know if you give up or have any remaining idea

so i don't wait for nothing

Hi! I've installed the Starter Assets Pack to use controllers on Desktop and Mobile. Everything works great except that on Mobile, the Look Joystick is linked also to all the screen so when we use the Left Joystick to control the character, the camera moves also. How can I change that to be able to use only the Right Joystick to look around?

Anyone Knows if its possible to make unity bridge with ios. So i use ios UI in unity app? if you do can someone help? 😱

[fallen compass]

Yes you can.
Dunno how.

[glossy sluice]

Heya! I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i coudn't find another channel so this is the most appropriate one i think... I have issues with the compiler and the API Level on Android. I'm using unity version 2021.1.7f1 with the highest api level being 30, i installed the android studio sdk and plopped it into the \platforms folder but i just got a bunch of errors. I googled some and found out i needed a higher Java version? So now i can't upload ANY game to the play store because i can't build higher then api level 30... I'm sorry if this is not the right channel, and if it isn't just say and i'll delete the message! And these are the errors: https://pastebin.com/7596Qi6J

[real elm]

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me on this one. I'm making an iOS game where the character can change between many combinations of outfits. But I'm unsure what is most performant on mobile. To use skinned mesh renderer for each new item and load them only when needed, or to have all meshes inactive on the character and simply activate the meshes I want to show and make them inactive again when not needed?

[sonic otter]

kind of a tradeoff between cpu/disk/memory used

[sleek eagle]

Just put all objects there with regular meshes per character and enable them. Skinned meshes are harder to run.
Does use more memory but it's probably easiest and fine unless you have a crap load of stuff

[sleek eagle]

What do you mean with ios UI?
As in the device simulator Unity has or streaming or something else?

[real elm]

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, skinned mesh options feels cleaner because I can add new cloth and items, without having to update the entire character file. The character will wear 5-7 items max.

[sleek eagle]

Then it's definitely doable!
If you have more you can have 1 mesh per body part and then change out the mesh filter and material when you swotch

[copper wyvern]

Weird thing happening. A while back, I had an android build done. It was looking good. Now after a while I did another android build, which I assume are the same settings, but the quality of the game is not as great. As if the resolution scale has gone down. Was wondering if someone knew what was going on? I've already checked URP resolution scaling and have resolution scaling disabled in the player settings. So any help or ideas on this would be helpful.

Hey guys, can anyone help me with Buttons on Android? I'm using the New Input System but want to have seamless swapping between movement buttons
For example if you hold the right button here, without releasing your finger off it, it will remain pushed, is it possible to drag your finger off of it and activate the left? What part of the component is responsible for that?

[tulip crest]

I get missing textures when I switch platform from windows to android

how can I fix that?

[sleek eagle]

Provide more info.
What device, what unity version, what does it show, how is it supposed to look, etc

[sleek eagle]

I am unsure if unity UI automatically can do this. If not, just keep track of the touch position and see if it alligns with a button

[sleek eagle]

People aren't going to follow along a guide for you.
This can probably be done with checking tags

[humble frost]

my bad

Ok so the creator give me a solution but im not quite understand what he means

I don't know how and where to assign is it in the comparetag or just in ontriggerenter2d

Here is my code

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
    Draggable collidedDraggable = other.GetComponent<Draggable>();

    if(collidedDraggable != null && _dragController.LastDragged.gameObject == gameObject){
        ColliderDistance2D colliderDistance2D = other.Distance(_collider);
        Vector3 diff = new Vector3(colliderDistance2D.normal.x,colliderDistance2D.normal.y)*colliderDistance2D.distance;
        transform.position -= diff;
    }
    
        if (other.CompareTag("loriplastic"))
        {
            _movementDestination = other.transform.position;
        }
        else if (other.CompareTag("lorikayu"))
        {
            _movementDestination = LastPosition;
            Handheld.Vibrate();
        }
        else if (other.CompareTag("lorialu"))
        {
            _movementDestination = LastPosition;
            Handheld.Vibrate();
        }
    
}

[gloomy wing]

How can i use the phone movement to move an object (no ARcore)

[sleek eagle]

You already got comparetags there. Use that system to have custom functionality

[sleek eagle]

Please be more specific. Do you use another AR system?

[gloomy wing]

nnope

just wanna use the devices motion

for stuff

my game is first person and i want the camera to move in the 3d envrionment as the player walks around

theres no AR involved

[humble frost]

ok thanks

[quartz kernel]

Accelerometer and gyroscope is what you have access to without camera tracking

[sleek eagle]

Yep, but 6DoF movement will be inaccurate probably. You can also use AR in the background but just don't show the camera feed. That way you still have good positional data

3D model's back stretched in Android Build
For generic 3D model all animations looks fine in Unity but on making android build, in walk animation model's back get stretched.

It's super weird and I tried many solutions like applying 4 bones etc, please help

I am using URP and have two projects. In working project it's not working, but in new URP project it's working fine. I tried matching all player settings but still it's same
Unity 2021.3.1f1

[rain leaf]

I (might) have similar problem once, not exactly the back get stretched but the model seems like it's only using 2 bones weight on android, even if I'm using 4 bones, the culprit iirc is the open gl es 3.0 that's doesnt play nicely on my phone, the solution was to force using open gl es 2 (by removing es 3 and vulkan)

[rain leaf]

any screenshot?

[warped glacier]

Thanks @rain leaf for reply. My problem is also solved

Actually I exported URP Quality settings and all profiles from new project and applied it in working project.

So more or less it was due to rendering

[mortal narwhal]

thanks for your replay, i export whole project to package then import in fresh project, then it works ok

[real elm]

I have some performance issues on mobile (surprise!), but I'm a bit lost now on light baking. I'm using URP. I've used Baked Global Illumination with Baked Indirect. After a while of playing the my iPhone 10 starts lacking and lowering the lights. Then I tried to switch to all lights baked and using only light probes for dynamic objects, but to my surprise that didn't seam to change anything. I expected at least a little change. I have a few dynamic characters and objects but very little and i keep the scene a low poly as possible (tris count total 56k). A few tips would be greatly appreciated.

[sleek eagle]

Are all the lights set to baked or are they mixed/realtime still?

Objects have a limit of usually 4 lights per object (I think it can be increased to 8 or maybe more with forward+ or deferred). Do the flickering objects have more lights than that running on them?

[real elm]

I have only one directional light set to "mixed" so my dynamic objects receive and cast shadow. All other lights are static and baked. It's the whole scene that drops in frame rate after some time. When I just launch the scene everything runs smooth at 60 fps.

[sleek eagle]

What did you mean with lowering the lights?

If it's a performance issue, set fps to 30 on mobile devices if it doesn't need competitive response times to keep down heat and power draw.

For the rest check temperatures and performance in the profiler

@real elm

[real elm]

Sorry, I meant the screen light is lowering. Ok, I just find 30fps not so smooth but I get it that it might be that. It's a platformer kind of game some precision is needed.

How would you set up the frame rate. I have a script that tries to keep the framerate at 60, but I guess I could us that same script to keep it at 30.

[sleek eagle]

Without sharing code I can't help much.
Does it also change the visuals if you play in editor?

[real elm]

In editor it also starts lacking a bit over time.

@sleek eagle

I use this:

public class FrameRate : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
// Make the game run as fast as possible
Application.targetFrameRate = 60;
}

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

}

[dawn ravine]

hey guys, i m trying to build into android but this error is showing up

what to do here

[sleek eagle]

Scroll down to the jdk section (and also maybe put visual studio as external script editor)

Also, did you add both android submodules in unity hub?

[sleek eagle]

Yeah then you can just replace the 60 into 30

[sleek eagle]

Then debug that

[dawn ravine]

yes, both of them were installed

[sleek eagle]

And how does the jdk part look?...

[dawn ravine]

requires update

oh wait

[sleek eagle]

Can you send a screenshot of the installed modules in unity hub for that version?

[dawn ravine]

this?

wait it now showing new 10 things

on the android install thingy

[dawn ravine]

yea its working now, thanks

[sleek eagle]

Nice

[kindred nexus]

Hi guys, does someone have experience with implementing Admob ads to unity?

[real elm]

Hi again. Just wanted to say thank you for pointing me to this very obvious solution of simply downgrading my fps. I was so locked on the smoothness of 60. But 30 actually runs very stable too. Been scaling everything else down from shaders to polycount so I guess I just got myself some extra frames now to add back more juice. Cheers

[bold acorn]

hello is it possible for someone to recommend to point me to how to refresh the mediastore with a plugin creation tutorial? i am required to refresh media store to show my images but i do not know how. thank you for your help and assistant

[wanton smelt]

Can anyone steer me into the right direction with the New Input System and Android controls? I need the button to be released when the users finger is moved off of the button

[fresh hull]

Hi all, I'm making a game and I'm running into issues with Google Admob specifically on Android. I have installed GoogleMobileAds-v7.1.0.unitypackage and when I build an iOS version, the ad banner appears just fine.

However, on Android, the banner does not appear. The MobileAds.Initialize() call fails. Here is the code to see that:

{
    private BannerView bannerView;

    public void Start()
    {
        AddLog("Google Ads Manager - Start");
        // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
        try {
            MobileAds.Initialize(initStatus => { });
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            AddLog("Exception caught: " + e);
        }

        AddLog("Requesting Banner");
        this.RequestBanner();
    }

And this is the error that shows up:

I have googled and googled but besides "Force Resolve the android dependencies", which does not help for me, I haven't found any solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am building with Unity, not with Android Studio, and haven't (yet) changed any build settings:

Using Unity 2021.3.7f1 (recently upgraded my project to this version)

[tired lily]

missing class might indicate it's getting stripped out by proguard. You didn't have any failures resolving dependencies right?

[fresh hull]

I also tried this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53977246/unity-admob-classnotfound-com-google-unity-ads-unityadlistener but that 1) did not help and 2) caused the Play Console to complain that I'm using an outdated version of Unity (!) Ads

Force Resolve completed without errors after a few minutes

It works fine on iOS so it must be something during the android build I assume

The GoogleMobileAds.Android.dll file is present in Assets/GoogleMobileAds

[tired lily]

it's not the dll, you're missing a jar or aar (or the aar is having something important, like the UnityAdListener class, stripped out incorrectly)

when you tried the solution from that post, did you enable the custom proguard file under build settings?

[fresh hull]

I did, yes

should there be a lib<something>.so file for Admob in the built .aab file?

[tired lily]

hmm I just imported the package into an empty project and am able to load test ads with it. Did you try an empty/sample project?

[fresh hull]

Are you referring to test ads when running the project in the IDE?

That works fine for me:

When building for iOS, ads also appear correctly after installing the app from the App Store

Just the Android build is having this problem

I haven't tried building an empty project + admob to the Play Console yet no

[tired lily]

no, I was able to build to an actual device

What Unity version, and what API level are you targeting? I tested with 2021.3 LTS and API levels 28, 31, and 33

[fresh hull]

Did you do that through the play console or link your device via USB to your computer?

[tired lily]

usb

[fresh hull]

Ah I guess I should figure out how to do that as well, would make debugging much faster

min api level 28, targeted api level 30. Unity 2021.3.7f1

[tired lily]

what versions of play-services are you resolving to? maybe you have a dependency conflict, and EDM is pulling in some unexpected aar versions. I'm seeing play-services-ads-21.0.0 for the relevant aars in an exported project on my version that runs

[fresh hull]

How can I see that? This is unfortunately all new territory for me

By the way, I really appreciate your extensive help

I guess com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-21.0.0.aar is what you mean?

[tired lily]

look in Assets/Plugins/Android, they'll all be there (as well as the proguard-user.txt file if enabled)

yeah

[fresh hull]

com.google.android.gms.play-services-base-18.0.0.aar

I see a bunch of 18 and a bunch of 21 there

com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-base-21.0.0.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-identifier-18.0.0.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-lite-21.0.0.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-appset-16.0.1.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-base-18.0.0.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-basement-18.0.0.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-measurement-base-20.1.2.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-measurement-sdk-api-20.1.2.aar
com.google.android.gms.play-services-tasks-18.0.1.aar```

[tired lily]

are those all the ones related to play-services you have?

it matches mine so far, as long as you have play-services-ads-21.0.0.aar in there

[fresh hull]

com.google.android.gms.play-services-ads-21.0.0.aar yes

So I guess all the necessary files are there, but during the Android build, they are not included?

[tired lily]

they should be there, look in the libs folder of unitylibrary when you export a project to android studio

I tried targeting the same api levels, changing scripting backend, and varying managed code stripping levels without any issue. So maybe a conflict in your dependencies, or something is resolving incorrectly. I hate to suggest this, but I assume you tried the obvious delete resolved libraries -> force resolve?

[fresh hull]

I haven't deleted the resolved libraries before, just a force resolve. I'll give that a try

Are you using the Unity Remote app on your Android device?

[tired lily]

no

[fresh hull]

@tired lily Delete + Force Resolve appears to have solved the problem! Thank you for your patience and your help

[tired lily]

really? haha, it's always the simplest things

[cobalt peak]

Is it normal to have (much) bigger install size compared to built(APK)size? 25MB/60MB. What is happening on install that makes the game a lot bigger? What can I look at to reduce installed size?

[glossy sluice]

I'm having the same issue. Apk is only about 59mb but after installing it's about 130mb

[iron acorn]

It's getting unpacked on the device. The APK itself is compressed. There's not much you can do about it, aside from reducing the overall build size.@glossy sluice

[cobalt peak]

Thank you. I see. I thought Unity converted the files when it compressed them, but it's only for the build then. I went through increasing the canvas of my sprites to make them POT, just for the compression but I guess that just makes the final installation bigger while the install file gets smaller. Is that about right?

[iron acorn]

No, it should affect both the build and the installation.

[cobalt peak]

Does APK really compress the build that much? That unpacked it will increase double?

could increase double*

[iron acorn]

I don't know about actual numbers, but yeah, that's how installation files usually work. When you install a game on PC the installation files are several times lighter than the actual installed game, right?

[cobalt peak]

true

[cobalt peak]

I guess I reacted because I thought I saw an anomally compared to other games I made. It seems the compression I did pretty much did nothing for the end result. As the difference in build size was pretty big. I dunno man, I'm confused

[cobalt peak]

What is the size of all your assets?

[iron acorn]

Well, it's not a linear relationship. There's some minimum size that the build will always occupy, since there are the engine files. The more and heavier assets you have, the more effective the compression would seem.

[cobalt peak]

Yes it is true it will occupy some space. But let me just try and clarify this for me if you don't mind. You're saying the compression I setup to my files in Unity gets compressed in the build. Then all those files gets packed (compressed again?) into an APK?

[velvet ermine]

Hey! Would anyone know why a certain sprite is visible on certain Android devices and not on others? Stackoverflow/Unity forum answers point to max size issue(that has not changed in the project).

They might both be incompatible, it's just that for one of them there's an additional reason for not batching. Perhaps using lights 2d breaks the batching. See if it works with light disabled.

Please, how to fix this? Eveything is normal in editor, but when i build to my android devices, the screen is wrong

[mortal narwhal]

e regconize, when unity let me select localtion to build, there is 2 scenarios:

• 1: it let me name apk file, which will build normal scene
• 2: it let me select a folder, which cause half scene like above

never had scenario 2 when building for Android

Hello,
How can I create File Browser for Android?

[sleek eagle]

Is there a reason you cannot rely on users picking their own files/images etc?

[hollow salmon]

I've made a plugin which can grab Mouse & Keyboard input just like on PC (which is missing in Unity3D). Once you enable Mouse/Pointer capture you then would add a custom cursor to your game.
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/input-management/mobile-input-capture-221017

On Android & iOS/iPadOS there is no mouse position & iOS it doesn't even show up at all.

Mouse comes in as a velocity which can then be used to create a PC like cursor if thats your goal.

[polar leaf]

It seems like android:screenOrientation in AndroidManifest.xml has been stealth changed to userLandscape in Unity 2021 (it used to be sensorLandscape in 2020). Anyway to revert it?

Using "Custom Main Manifest" does not work because it gets overridden.

Anybody experienced with accessing Android cameras in Unity? I'm using WebCamTexture API and for some reason it only detects the selfie camera and the ultrawide camera -- I want to look through the main rear camera. But the API thinks I only have two cameras and not four.
device[0] is front facing, device[1] is ultrawide, device[2] and device[3] have no display

[tired lily]

you could create an editor script that implements IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject and manipulate the manifest yourself

[Unity] [iOS] [Firebase]

Hi guys!
Looking at iOS Firebase/Crashlytics report of our game, I can see some entries that are basically some NullReferenceException. The strange part, and the reason why I'm asking here, is that the report says "100% app in background".
I can understand if some our game flow is bugged and lead to a NullReference. But how this can happen when the app is in background? Why some coroutine is stepping while our app is in background?
Have you ever faced similar problems?
What's really going on below when an app is put in background on iOS? The crashes are not appearing on Android.

So I have added unity ads in my game

And everything works fine if testmode is enabled

        {
            loadCallback = OnBannerLoaded,
            errorCallback = OnBannerError

[dusty locust]

Its in the player settings

There you can force landscape

[dusty locust]

If anyone can help then please ping me

[astral fable]

I am well aware of that and the only problem with that is that some of my scenes need to be in portrait mode

this is just for the level editor where it's pointless to use it in a portrait mode and that can't be the only solution

[dusty locust]

Oo

I really wanna see your game now

I haven't heard about a game which switches between landscape and portrait mid game

[astral fable]

I don't really have a lot yet because I just started but here:
It's a rhythm based game where you need to press left/right to avoid obstacles(levels are premade with the editor I am making rn)(Picture 1) and the level can be in either portrait or landscape(chosen by the creator of the level you are currently playing Picture 2, 3 and 4)

Just to be clear this isn't exactly what the final game will look/behave like it's just some early code and sketches that I have

[astral fable]

Now I would really appreciate someone helping me do this^

[astral ember]

hi, I just made a test build of my application for android but I cannot see any UI elements on my android device.. although they seem to be there because I can navigate using the (invisible) touch joystick. so it seems that my UI is there and functioning but not rendering. anyone ever had that before?

Does anyone know what to write in the privacy policy for Google Play? My game itself doesn't access any personal data, but I have Unity Ads that does. I'm just not sure what data it collects. Therefore I don't know what to write. I've seen others that just link to this website: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy as their privacy policy. I tried that, but Unity still wouldn't approve my game. Hope someone can help :)

Is that on Android using URP? If so what unity version are you using.

does anyone knows about this??

[fair ruin]

Hi. One question, I'm building for the quest 2 and at some point in the scene my fps drop to around 45 but the GPU nor the CPU are maxed out. Does anyone know what could be doing that please? Like, what else can drop fps?

[fallen compass]

No, we cannot magically know what is going on with your game. You need to profile it.

[fair ruin]

I did profile but when the frame dropped all I could see was that something called "EarlyUpdate.XRUpdate" was taking 20ms in some cases, and I don't even know what that's for exactly and why it takes so long when I was looking at some objects. I ended up testing a bunch of things and found that using a "simple lit" material instead of a "lit" one solved it in some degree, but I don't really understand why sorry

[neon thicket]

How do you manage getting write permission for Android? I'm making an app with the ability to save an image file, and I've successfully made it request permission to access files (using Android.Permission), but after that it just won't download. I'm putting in some more debug checks to see if permission is being denied, but I'm asking here in case someone already knows what the problem might be.
Thanks!

[maiden kernel]

okay nevermind they're downloading but to a directory that can't be accessed easily on the phone itself, I found the images by looking through my phone files while it was plugged in to my computer

[final herald]

noob here, does NullReferenceException behave differently on Android platform?
in editor the game is fine except just missing some sprites,
but on Android the whole game just freezes

and logcat only shows a NullReferenceException error that related to the sprite code

i didn't try Desktop build so maybe I should ask does it behave differently between in Editor and in Builds

[analog plover]

If the code throws errors, you have to fix them either way. The behavior of the game is unpredictable at that point.

[final herald]

of course I just null checked everywhere, when it is null I just don't set anything

but I'm just more curious about this problem

and you can't fix any code when majority of the logic is depending on your designers colleagues' data sheets

[glossy sluice]

Hello friends i still have the same problem

iOS Native pro is shite and the devs don't update it/ support it properly

I have posted on there yeah

Even reported/flagged the asset as unsupported - which made the devs be a little more active

Anyone here has exprience with using OBB on android ? Quest specificly ?

I need to use a OBB for my app.

If i build a single APK everything is working

if i split binary, i get my apk and obb

but when i run the app im getting Open XR issues

(Should have mentioned that i need to use OpenXR because we want to support different headsets)

I find it hard to understand what unity puts in the OBB binary, i was able to open the obb with a archive tool and saw that there are some OpenXR manifest in there.

Thats my current troubleshooting route

Thanks, its been like 2 days im on this i need mental support HAHAHAHA

[regal idol]

Hello,
I am currently setting the parameters to build my Android game and I don't know what to set for Player settings -> Publishing settings -> Minify. I guess I have to set something in "Release" but I don't understand what the different options ("Gradle (experimental)", "Proguard" and "None") mean. Could anyone help me?

I tried looking on Internet but couldn't find a clear answer to what these options mean and what I should do.

[fallen compass]

Unity doesn't name the OBB correctly. For mobile - when you upload the OBB to the Play Store, google names the OBB file correctly. I cannot remember what ti should be. I assume this is the same for Quest, as it's still Android

[snow ruin]

I think my issue is related to having a single OBB that is over 4GB

anyone here has experience splitting OBB ? i know unity can only output one

could i split it myself ?

Would the unity binary be able to find stuff in a patch OBB ?

Trying to use admob for the first time. For Android. I downloaded the sample from the Unity package that you need (Hello World and a game or something idk). Sample works fine in editor, but tried to build and run to android device, no test ads.
I followed this person’s tutorial: https://youtu.be/e-q_CPfu0M0
Well, I basically imported the assets, resolve, and the app test id.
Not sure what to do

Also tried making a test project by following the “Get Started” guide from admob.
No ads on Android still

[balmy meteor]

Heyo;

If I use "clear cache" option on an application, will data saved by 'PlayerPrefs' survive?

In other words, is Playerprefs stored in cache?

Or would it instead be effected by the "clear data" option on many android devices.

Edit: Nvm found the answer 😉

[brisk haven]

Admob sample but the sample doesn't work lmfao

Makes sense

Nice sample

Hello does anyone can help me?

[kind orbit]

Good Day Devs, I am looking at the possibilities of using Unity cloud content delivery service.

In that, I would like to know whether the CCD system supports updating of Scripts along with the assets and prefabs...As this was the downfall in the Assetbundle system.

The reason for this is, We are looking to develop a container application which should be able to download new experiences (With newer / updated scripts) in to it...Using Assetbundle in the system was blocking us to not push any script based updates.

[fallen compass]

Nothing (as far as I'm aware) can add new code to a build. If you're adding new code (scripts) then you have to update the build.

[violet warren]

I'm trying to install Unity 2021 but it keeps saying my Android build tools are missing even though the hub shows they are installed?

It says make sure all tools are installed in the SDK manager...I have no idea what this means...I'm assuming I need Android Manager?

[violet warren]

ok, nm. i reinstalled using the latest unity hub as an administrator. hopefully that error won't pop up again 🤞

[kind orbit]

Hmm ok...So its just a glorified assetbundle / asset delivery system then...

Hi, one question, how i can implement the haptic in unity? i like that do make that active the haptic an seconds with small power.

[maiden kernel]

I'm trying to figure out a good tactic to record the screen during runtime, that's native to the game. But there are heaps of factors in determining how to do it. The current code (that I'm trying to adapt) for recording on Android is meant to use the Android device's native screen recording functionality.

But I tested it and I got errors essentially saying that the function names weren't recognised, and then I googled it out of curiosity and the actual framework seems to be completely different. So I can't tell if I'm a chump for trying to make it work without researching it, or not because I'm trying to efficiently make use of existing code that happened to be written by a chump.

Plus I'm not even sure if it's able to selectively record the things I want. I'm pretty sure it would also record GUI elements, which I don't want. I may need to make/adapt a system that works completely within Unity, so I can select specific cameras and ignore GUI canvases.

[fallen compass]

What's a good screen resolution setting for a landscape-mode game?

[neon thicket]

Every phone has their own screen resolution

[wind quail]

There's no standard screen resolution that fits all phones??

[neon thicket]

No? Have you have never seen a phone that is thinner/larger, than your phone?

Or even held a tablet for that matter?

If you want to show the art at the same scale across phones, then you need to reposition the camera so that it does. But this means empty space on some devices (called letterboxing).

[fallen compass]

Use the device simulator

[charred aspen]

Hey Hello. It is said that although I signed the application, I did not sign it. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

[wind quail]

How?

[fallen compass]

so, "device simulator" is a key phrase, and it's un relation to Unity.. so what you want to do is open up google and type "unity device simulator" then press enter, and read.

[wind quail]

👍

[prisma wasp]

hey all, noob question, I’m new to Unity and I’m trying to build my mobile project for iOS. It doesn’t seem to pick up the latest changes unless I rebuild the xcode project, is this normal or is there a better way?

[livid yew]

Hey my closed testing is done but on most of the phones I tried to download it it says that the device is not compatible with this version

[fallen compass]

How else would you build it?

[livid yew]

The one device that worked all the game objects are misaligned

What should I do

[fallen compass]

Making changes in Unity doesn't update an XCode build, you have to actually build it again

[fallen compass]

Use device simulator in Unity to fix the alignment of everything

[livid yew]

Yea it worked fine there

But it's all over the place in the released version

[fallen compass]

maybe you would care to share what it looks like in Unity, and what it looks like in a build

[prisma wasp]

ah ok, hoped I could go directly to a simulator or something rather than going through the extra build step again

[livid yew]

You mean send it to you?

[fallen compass]

Device simulator in Unity .. but if you want it on device, then build

[fallen compass]

... no.
Take screenshots/ videos (whichever makes sense to do..) and share them here..

[livid yew]

First one is what it should look like

[fallen compass]

It's your UI layout/ alignment/ anchors

Or possibly need to change the 'canvas scalar' to 'scale with screen size' and play around with the height/width slider

[livid yew]

And where is that located?

[fallen compass]

on your canvas

[livid yew]

Yea I tried it and it just scatters everything anywhere

I found something

When I change the resolution on the game menu from 1920x1080 to 2160x1080 it causes the same thing as on the phone

How can I force that first resolution?

[fallen compass]

Set the resolution on the Canvas scalar

and always use the device simulator.

[livid yew]

What options should I put the canvas scaler on?

[fallen compass]

I don't have one to hand, there's like 3 or 4 things on it.. play around with it until you see some resolution to change..

[livid yew]

It's OK I think I found it

Thank you so much for helping

[dire cliff]

I am trying to achieve the same block stacking and disposing system as in the mobile game Stone Grass. However I wasn't sure of what way I could do it: The system consists of when you collect a money block it gets thrown on top of the stack (following the last element). I tried to do it using forces and rigidbodies by changing each time to last element of the stack but there's clearly a faster way and I don't know if it has to do with some sort of complex animation where each collected block follows its animation curve to the top of the stack. I think that's the main system I want to achieve and I think the rest (disposing the money) would be the same concept. So if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

also idk if i should ask here but id thought its related to mobile

please if anyone can help
