Hello. I have a problem here. So I made a custom job system using ThreadPools. Here are the results of running 4 threads with distributed workload on a PC:

#

#

As you can see, all threads start at the same time and the job is finished as soon as the last one finishes

#

Here are the results for android built with IL2CPP:

#

As you can see, each thread starts as soon as the previous one finishes

Is it an intended behaviour?

How can I achieve pure multithreading on a mobile device?

Hey, I'm trying to figure out the best way to render a lot of text in boxes on mobile

#

Including each text unit as a separate object increases my number of batches by 200-360%

#

📎 unknown.png

#

This is the UI, it's a bowling scoring box

#

I can group the text by line, which would probably solve the issue provided I can get the spacing to look right. But it'd lose the convenience of being able to separate the text by each frame.

#

Figured I'd check if there was any crazy neato way I could just batch the text together without actually grouping the objects. Seems Unity is currently sending every tiny bit of text as a separate batch to the GPU

brazen crater Aug 20, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

Unrelated: I'm having weirdly low framerates on simple simple scenes using the LWRP on the Oculus Quest. Is using one of the render pipelines actually a bad idea?
It's genuinely alarming (also posted in #archived-hdrp)

#

did you check to make sure that Vsync isn't enabled?

dusty loom Aug 20, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

@brazen crater regarding text and mobiles: do you use text mesh pro? you can make precompiled atlases of letters there, also set the specific size of text in the component (not dynamic), also text components should not overlap each other

brazen crater Aug 20, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

@rapid brook Vsync appears to be disabled. Framerates inconsistently vary higher and lower (near always lower) than the capped 72, super solid suggestion though, thank you

#

I’ll try manually setting vsync to off in my code tho

#

@dusty loom , I am using text mesh pro- are you talking about the bitmap shader or something else? I thought I was setting size in the component, none of my code touches it. I’ll be sure to check the dynamic scaling box though. Thats the “auto size” thing you’re talking about right?

#

Text components don’t overlap but I’ll be sure to be conscious of that, thank you

dusty loom Aug 20, 2019, 7:30 AM

#

@brazen crater yes, I'm talking about auto size feature

brazen crater Aug 20, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

Alright, I’ll make sure that’s off for all my text meshes. Turns out it was left on for some of them. Thanks for warning about that!

Hi I have a problem with adverts in a build for iPhone.
When the game opens on iPhone, the adverts just play on repeat despite there being no code to cause that. Also when playing the game in unity the adverts work correctly.

light crane Aug 21, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

@dusty loom why would turning the auto size in text mesh pro component off decrease number of batches?

normal stratus Aug 22, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Anyone here that builds for iOS and uses native plugins?

#

I've been having an issue where I have a native static library in 2 different version, arm, and x64. However when building the xcode project, it will include both into the library search path.

#

This causes it to sometimes find the wrong architecture on first, skip it, and then complain about missing simples

#

since 2019.2 I've noticed that I can select a CPU Architecture on these plugins, but there seems to be no change in behaviour when these are set correctly

#

I wonder if others have similar issues

it can protect your app from reverse engineering and also shrinks/reduces the size of Apk by removing uselss code and shriking the libraries used

Does anyone know how I can attach a Unity created Texture to a Framebuffer in a native rendering plugin for Android? When I attempt to implement the process the way I believe it should work, the framebuffer fails to attach with a status of GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT. Below is a simplified version of the code I am trying to get working.

C# Side:

// ...

[SerializeField]
private Renderer _textureRenderer;

// ...

private void Test()
{
    var texture = _textureRenderer.sharedMaterial.mainTexture;
    NativePluginCall(texture.GetNativeTexturePtr(), texture.width, texture.height);
}

C++ Side:

// ...

void UNITY_INTERFACE_EXPORT UNITY_INTERFACE_API NativePluginCall(void *textureHandle, int textureWidth, int textureHeight)
{
    auto callData = new CallData();

    callData->textureHandle = textureHandle;
    callData->textureWidth = textureWidth;
    callData->textureHeight = textureHeight;

    // static std::vector<CallData*> s_CallQueue;
    s_CallQueue.push_back(callData);
}

// ...

static void UNITY_INTERFACE_API OnRenderEvent(int eventID)
{
    // ...

    for (auto callData : s_CallQueue) {
        // ...

        GLuint texture = (GLuint)(size_t)(callData->textureHandle);
        glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);

        GLuint frameBuffer;
        glGenBuffers(1, &frameBuffer);
        glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, frameBuffer);
        glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);

        LOGD("Frame Buffer Created - Status: %d", glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER));    // Returns 36054 (GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT 0x8CD6)

        // Console Error - "OPENGL NATIVE PLUG-IN ERROR: GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION: Framebuffer is not complete or incompatible with command"

Hiho! For mobile UI animation, is it better to use Animator or animate object via script?

sonic crescent Aug 28, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

@knotty wolf I don’t think it matters performance-wise. I typically use DoTween for simpler animations (e.g., UI windows sliding in and out) and reserve the Animator for more complex stuff, where is a sequence of steps that need to happen.

Is there any UI specialists?
I want to support my mobile game different aspect ratios (portrait mode), like popular ones: 4:3, 3:2, 16:10, 17:10., 16:9.
The main problem is:
I got a board (simple Rect variable, cyan rectangle on screenshot) and top UI panel (green UI panel). I want that all mobile devices got the same dimensions for a board (so the game could be competitive).

I thought that I could just decrease/increase height of UI top panel and somehow(?) calcule a camera size(?)? I don't know how to make it work. Bottom line of top UI panel should be always in the same position like top line of a board

I made a test project, please look at it :(

Activated Vuforia supported on XR settings

#

Added Ar camera

#

Added image target made it as the child of AR camera

Then replace the image of mas with the image I download as my database in Vuforia

#

I took a Barbarian model from unity asset store, parent it to image target

Switch plaform to android

Hi, as a beginner here, is programming pc games very different from programming mobile games? What are the differences? And is it hard to switch from pc programming to mobile game programming?
Thanks

river dagger Sep 7, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

the basics are the thing. Generally it's the platform specific features that are different. With PC you have more overhead to work with in terms of performance, but if you've dealt with Android development, PC is very fragmented as well. It's a lot easier with an Engine like Unity as it's got the broadest platform support.

TLDR: Most of what you do for one works for the other, but targeting mobile can help you scale PC stuff better.

There's various stories of devs that shipped on Switch for example, then repurposed the optimizations back to their PC SKUs

#

The main Day-to-Day variance is input

#

PCs have basically limitless options in that regard, but you can almost always gaurantee a keyboard + Mouse (or other pointer device such as touch or pen). Probably a gamepad.

On mobile it's Touch first, gamepad support far in second if you want to make a game compatible.

The nice thing is that simpler touch games can be easily ported to mouse-based PC titles and vice versa

we setup different subscription groups to accommodate for this - but apple doesn't appear to like this and rejected the IAP submission

How do I change mouse clicks to touching screen

#

@quaint rune you can use the unity event system which will work for both. Alternatively, you can replace all references to mouse position and clicks by using Input.GetTouch(0) instead

Hey quick question, when it comes to animation vs script to do something for example rotating obj. Wich one is cheaper for memory usage?

winged hound Sep 17, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

@potent ledge#363 either will likely be just a few kilobytes of memory.. you are more likely to be concerned about the CPU overhead of a animator then the memory footprint of simple animations. And most perf questions are best answered with profiling on device. For complex animations it's likely that the memory footprint of the animation file will be larger than a script. In my game the memory footprint of animations is 23mb total (695 of them), and 16.5 Mb total for Monobehaviours (36,654 of them). My largest animation clip is 1.8 Mb but thats a rare one with the majority being under a 300 Kb.

Hmm, so smartest would be short as possible for characters and simplest no bones included doesnt matter so much at the end..?

formal elk Sep 29, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

Your save file will always be accessible. Especially on Android. If a user runs a jailbroken iOS the user will also access it. When using iCloud on normal iOS it's also possible to access those files through macOS. So the short answer is that u can't.

On the other hand - u could try encrypt the save file, and hide the encryption key in the assembly. But this still could be cracked if someone was persistent enough.

#

It mainly depends on what u want to achieve.

Hello I am having a super weird problem with my project, on my editor everything is working fine the game is running as it is supposed to, however in android the game is doing some really strange things! Respawn is not working, health is not set back to max health resulting to the player getting instantly destroyed and respawned again and again.

@late flax the thing to remember with Unity is that you don't need to consider mobile to begin with. First learn to make a game with Unity (probably using C#). As you do this, you'll learn the fundamentals of game development and then you can tweak your knowledge to focus on mobile devices.

#

The key differences being your input and screen sizes to begin with - and of course, much closer attention and care required to performance management as a mobile device will always be under powered compared to a desktop computer

Ok guys, your help is very much needed. I've assembled a playable prototype, only to realize once I've exported to Android that multi touch isn't supported.

I've used events like OnMouseDown and Input.GetMouseButton(0)

It works fine until 2 players playing on one device try to control their characters simultaneously.

So I've did some late night research only to encounter Touch class etcetera.

I don't know where to start, and how to adapt my current events so that they respond with Multiple fingers touching the screen.

Hi guys,

We have encountered an app terminating error in correlation with Firebase and iOS 13. Our app is developed in Unity, and is using Firebase Unity plugins.

After the iOS 13 update, crashlytics started logging fatal crash errors solely where users are using iOS 13. App crashes whenever it goes to background. And this happens when ad is shown, inapp is started, notification is received or login process is initiated. Crashlytics stack trace always points to firebase::auth::AuthNotifier::NotifyOnTheMainThread(firebase::auth::AuthNotifier::CallbackData*). Firebase version we're currently using is 6.3.0. After reading dozens of threads discussing similar problems, we’ve tried upgrading Firebase to versions 6.4.0, 6.5.0, 6.9.0 and 6.10.0. Version changes had no effect on the problem. Have you encountered this or a similar problem?

#

if there is a need, i can paste the crashlog

unborn bloom Oct 14, 2019, 3:14 PM

latent osprey Oct 14, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

@unborn bloom i'm not sure, you're better off using the EventSystem if you're already outside of the Update loop code-wise

#

this means using the appropriate Raycaster component and implementing IPointerClick ... etc interfaces

#

it seamlessly supports touch and mouse

#

including multitouch

#

and handles that abstraction very well

unborn bloom Oct 14, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

@latent osprey I'm not sure what you mean by IPointerClick

#

And yeah, I think I might have to go with Raycasting2d

latent osprey Oct 14, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

you'll find what i'm talking about

#

i'm not saying raycasting2d

#

i'm saying this

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/EventSystem.html

#

"If you have a 2d / 3d Raycaster configured in your Scene, it is easy to make non-UI elements receive messages from the Input Module. "

unborn bloom Oct 14, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

I literally just started digging that up from c#. Pointer ID i'm assuming would refer to touchID?

#

(Hopefully)

latent osprey Oct 14, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

i'm not sure, i think you can look at the source and it'll be pretty clear

unborn bloom Oct 14, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Still not a clue how to attach IPointerEventHandle etc.

latent osprey Oct 14, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

it's an interface

#

to get everything to work

#

you need an EventSystem in your scene

#

the appropriate raycaster (i believe you're using 2d colliders, so use Physics2DRaycaster) on your camera

#

then, for any object you want to receive pointer events

#

it needs to have a collider whose layer corresponds to the layers listened to by the physics2draycaster

#

and it needs a monobehaviour that is a sibling component to the collider

#

that implements the appropriate IPointer... interface

you have to implement the methods

hence the little squiggly lines

#

if you're using Rider, Alt-Enter over the interfaces and choose implement interfaces

unborn bloom Oct 14, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

Yeah I just encountered that, many thanks

#

Why is that?

#

Seems counter-intuitive to me. (I haven't experienced that kind of inheritance before)

#

It doesn't seem to work with the mouse.

#

Is it meant to work with mouse click?

latent osprey Oct 14, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

you need the physicsraycaster2d, you need the collider, etc. etc.

the event system

Yeah

quartz kernel Oct 15, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

Not sure if click events work with multiple touches @unborn bloom. They old school way of doing this is to check Input.touchCount and access the different points as Input.touches[0] etc

unborn bloom Oct 15, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

@quartz kernel Hmm.. so how would I check if I've clicked on a collider? I would have to use Update()

quartz kernel Oct 15, 2019, 1:14 PM

Yes do a raycast when you detect the touches you need

Trying to get the name of the selected object on mobile without dumping the framerate? I tried the standard Physics.Raycast() method and it takes nearly 200ms to cast the ray. I also tried the more performant recommendation of attaching the Physics Raycaster script to the camera and using the OnPointerUp method in a script directly attached to the object. The 200ms requirement just moves from my original script to the EventSystem. Either way it takes nearly 200ms to get the selected object, which is a dump to below 10fps.

#

With casting rays the performance dramatically improves after the first cast, down to under 10ms but I am creating and casting a new ray every time. So that is odd, it is always the first cast after starting the game that takes 200ms.

#

Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;

    if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
    {

    }

Hello, how should i solve problem with back button on adnroid? It acts like pause button while game is running but its very buggy

@quaint sonnet I am almost certain Play is only for PC testing right now. If they come out with that feature in the future it would be amazing. I must build and run to test on mobile. Also the mobile device must be re-configured into development mode, which requires opening secret menus, so you will want to view the youtube videos on how to setup andriod for unity.

#

Make your your using Unity 2019 and the youtube video you watch has been posted this year, everything changed and the SDK is no longer required

#

Could you use bluestacks as a android tester? Instead of trying it on your phone?

plucky badger Oct 20, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

Not sure, but if you set your game window to match the resolution of your target mobile device you can emulate the game on PC just fine that way right in Unity. The reason for testing on the device itself is to test on mobile hardware, since performance is a huge factor.

#

You also might need to consistently check what your game looks like on a mobile screen, like the samsung wrapped screens or the iPhone notched screens

Hi fellow developers,

I’m Martin from Mirari Games, we are a small indie game studio and we are making a poetic adventure game (iOS) in Unity.
https://www.mirarigames.com

We need help on a simple iOS feature, which is to send the saved data of our game (multiple xml files) to iCloud. According to Apple, any files saved to the persistentDataPath (Documents) are automatically uploaded to the cloud. But, in our dev build, the save files are not uploaded to iCloud.

We are trying to learn how to sync the .xml files and make the game work with iCloud but we are beginners on that topic.

If you guys have any tips on where to start that would be awesome!

civic marsh Oct 25, 2019, 11:40 AM

No

quartz kernel Oct 25, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

Then you can not use GetMouseButtonDown

#

And for isPointerOver: "IsPointerOverEventSystemObject takes an int for the touch id. Mouse is the default (-1) use touch id's to figure out if a certain finger is over a managed object."

IsPointerOverEventSystemObject always returns false on mobile

Calling IsPointerOverEventSystemObject works great in unity editor and standalone builds but on mobile devices (Android to be more specific) it always...

civic marsh Oct 25, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

I though it is the same as a touch

quartz kernel Oct 25, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

It might be that Unity is still translating it to mobile touch but it's not the right way to do it

quartz kernel Oct 25, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

Btw I just tested and I don't think IsPointerOverGameObject works on mobile @civic marsh. You're probably gonna have to do a raycast instead. Something like this, or google it http://answers.unity.com/answers/1115473/view.html

// edit: wrong, the parameter-less version does not work on mobile. But if you use 0 as a parameter, not -1, then it works

civic marsh Oct 25, 2019, 12:13 PM

#

I have tried with 0 but it still doesnt work

quartz kernel Oct 25, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

That's because you're doing the onMouseButtonDown inside of that. You can remove that. Because the pointer on mobile will always be down when IsPointerOverGameObject is true

#

Oh and you also have a ! at the beginning of your if. So it will trigger whenever there is NOT a pointer hovering over somthing

@heady rose does the asset pipeline v2 handle that? I read in the docs that it speeds up platform switching (2019.3).

heady rose Nov 3, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I'm not to sure but I'm guessing the asset pipeline stuff and the cacheserver are independent things, in your unity preferences just make sure you got your cache server enabled, even if it just is a local "server" and that the size of it is big enough to accomodate your project(s))

Yep, I have if (!Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.FineLocation)) { Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.FineLocation); }

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

And you got the permission dialogue?

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Yes, the dialogue shows up, and if I click accept it sets it to true (I checked in settings afterwards)

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

Are you printing errors in the different cases to check where it fails? Or does it just return 0?

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

no errors whatsoever, even from native logs

#

but, I'm curious about this

#

    {
        // First, check if user has location service enabled
        if (!Input.location.isEnabledByUser)
            yield break;

        // Start service before querying location
        Input.location.Start();```

#

the break will stop the coroutine if location is not enabled by the user

#

so how can it then be enabled by input.location.start

#

or no, wait, it will break if IT IS enabled, nvm

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

The location.Start() method only means it will receive location data. And then it's toggled off again later, because leaving it on constantly will drain battery faster

#

And no you're right. So you need to ask for permission before that breakpoint

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

I ask for permission on scene startup, and the location.Start() call is way later in the app

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

Ok sure. So what's the error you're getting

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

Not getting any 😄

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

So latitude and longitude is zero?

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

it will not go further than location.start, like it did cause an error and stop, but doesn't throw anything.

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

How are you debugging it?

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

I placed debug logs before and after location.start

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

Yeah but are you reading the log through android studio or something?

limber parcel Nov 7, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

yep

quartz kernel Nov 7, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

I recommend using this, which gives you the same log as in the editor. You just need to build with develeopment mode checked

Hi, how can i set up lower resolution for android ?

#

recently i lost my phone and now using the 50$ backup phone, its very slow but does run compiled apk's

#

getting like 10 fps on a default scene

#

When i set the targetDPI to 30 it was smooth but on a tiny viewPort

#

using mobile shaders and lowest quality

noble arch Nov 8, 2019, 3:22 PM

@final lava I think you can try some apps lowering the resolution on the phone itself
they might require root though

anyone knows why scroll view is so laggy on android? i can't find solution for this

robust hamlet Nov 11, 2019, 7:45 AM

#

@jaunty crane yes. Admob has a documentation which you can use to learn how you should use it

#

@tired wharf never had an issue with the scroll view. It depends on what are you doing exactly

jaunty crane Nov 11, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

Honestly admob documentation is ok but their example project is from unity 5 & needs a update. Also they over complicated it quiet a bit with a git package that has its own comments independent on the main page

robust hamlet Nov 11, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

@jaunty crane leave the example, just download the package and follow the steps in documentation. It's pretty easy to implement and to make it show some ads

#

But be careful, at the beginning start with test ads

jaunty crane Nov 11, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

I know I used test ids so far will swap them out for real ones after

    permissions.add(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

    permissions.add(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

return checkPermissions(permissions, this, GlobalActivity.REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

This code does what I want in Android but how do I export to Unity?

robust hamlet Nov 11, 2019, 10:15 AM

#

@arctic dawn export is as jar or aar library, include to Unity and call your code using C#

arctic dawn Nov 11, 2019, 11:02 AM

Okay so I need to create a library in Android Studios and export to jar or arr and them link to it with ikvm?

robust hamlet Nov 11, 2019, 12:28 PM

Try with another version of Unity to see if this will happen. I am currently at work and can't check this if I will have such an issue

#

you can check on 2019.2.11f1

Hello! I'm attempting to import a newer version of the the google ad mob package for unity.
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/releases
I already had an older version of ad mob in my project. After I imported the new package and tried to build I got tons of duplicate class errors from the ad mob package. It seems like it has essentially just put both packages in my project without removing the old one.

Maybe that is how it's intended to function, I'm just a little lost here do I need to manually delete the old ad mob package before importing the new one and if so how do I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance!

@tired wharf Sorry, I had no time to check it yesterday, will be able to check it later

#

@flint jetty Can you post the error messages? After importing, Unity will override the asset's files if you didn't change it's location inside Assets folder.

#

I guess maybe you can have issue with another Android library. Check your Assets/Plugins/Android/ for any duplicate .aar files

Hey guys! Do you know how to make your apps not use the "top" portion of the screen for newer smartphone devices?
Example: at the moment there's a camera on newer samsung phones on the top of the screen. It's hiding some of my app elements.

Any way to turn on/off if your app stretches all the way up etc?

flint jetty Nov 12, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

@robust hamlet I the error message was complaining about duplicate classes for every single ad mob script. I managed to fix the issue by rolling back deleting ad mob first then importing the new package. I'm not sure why but it did not overwrite the old version, must be a problem with the way the ad mob package is made. Also have you had to deal with the depreciated UIWebView API on IOS yet? I updated unity but that didn't do it so I just update Unity IAP and Ad mob I'm hoping that will let me upload to the app store, wish me luck!

(I repost because I see mobile category )Hey, I don't know if this topic is the best but the problem is mostly general so I thinks yeah, so, I'm a beginner on Unity ( to an level or I doesn't need tutorial anymore) and I work on mobile. I test Unity Remote ( sorry Unity but it's not a very good project after what I see ). So I make a ball, you touch it and she teleport. If you touch an other place you die. In Unity Remote everything work, on Android nothing. But I have one big problem. When I click on the player, he don't teleport but I die, and when I disable the Killer, touch the player and..Nothing. Why I can detect one collision and not the other ? I use raycast for collision detection ( If a made mistake I'm french, so sorry )

manic coyote Nov 14, 2019, 6:13 AM

If your raycast has its layermask, make sure it's properly set.

is it 2D or 3D?

What animations fps do you use for mobile? How can I decide what is good for my game?

coarse willow Nov 14, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

Has anyone ever worked with Bluetooth for mobile/tablet with Unity, and if so, what was the experience like?

#

@gloomy heart the best way to decide would be to test it at different framerates and see what looks best/is most appropriate for your game. High framerates will look smoother, but low framerates may be more visually striking

gloomy heart Nov 14, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

@coarse willow turned out it doesnt matter what the keyframs of the animations are because the engine interpolates anyway

#

SO its just about making it convient, 24 fps for movies, 60 fps for games

Hi guys,
I am currently working on a mobile game. At the moment we could only do Build for Android and then install the apk on the phone to test things out. I wonder if there is a streamlined process for me to debug on the actual mobile device?
I did try Unity Remote but for some reason could not get it to work - and I believe that's just projecting your Editor window to the phone. It could partly serve the purpose but I was also wondering how everybody work with this situation.
Thanks a lot!

noble arch Nov 18, 2019, 8:51 AM

#

@lean orbit I don't believe there's some kind of hot reload now - maybe it will be in the MARS studio though?
currently I think you want to simulate everything and iterate in Editor instead, deploying as rarely as you can, or use Remote (it doesn't work for me too btw)

lean orbit Nov 18, 2019, 8:55 AM

#

@noble arch That's sad. Appreciate your help though. How do you guys simulate the mobile inputs in Editor - in an effective way? Would love to know your setup since we both can't get Remote to work.

Hello everyone! I wanted to get your guys' input on a question I have. So, I'm starting to get an MVP of my app built and I'm wondering if Unity would be an okay to engine to build it on. Here's the interactive prototype here: https://angelolvera83498.invisionapp.com/console/Debby-v1-ck2b5sx8n04hv015pglp8ffj5/ck2ufnca60il401bb8fdg6xju/play#project_console

#

So, you might be wondering why I am even considering Unity considering the app doesn't really resemble a game (yet). Well, my goal is to get to a certain number of users and start expanding into a MMO / social media hybrid where users are embodied by their avatars and play minigames in virtual 2D settings. So, while I don't need Unity now, I can see it being necessary in the future. Would be helpful to know if you guys see any problems with using Unity for this MVP. Thank you!!

Hello everyone.
I want to create a mobile game where the controls are exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmLK6uzjuoE&feature=youtu.be
In order to have the same controls and rotation, I have tried many approaches such as having an invisible object that is always on top of the snake, and moving it while swiping and the snake looks at it. It worked well, but the rotation feels jerky.
Do you guys have any experience with such controls and mechanisms?

But then if you have multiple installs of ADB on your computer it might stop working. If you only use adb for building in UNity it should be fine, but if you need to run an adb server it might create issues. I have a manual location working on my current project, its giving warnings but works fine

OK I have this question too: do you know if it is possible to run heavy native code on Android on a background thread?
I have a native plugin (pocketsphinx) and using it in a VR game
and when the recognition starts to work I'm getting FPS drop
Would that help at all? Running the wrapper on background and dispatching results back to Unity thread

formal elk Nov 20, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

You could totally run a thread natively, but the performance issue might also be caused by the act of dispatching the results itself. If u're pushing some results every frame, it will eat your performance. You maybe could go around it with allowing unsafe code, and working on memory pointer w/o marshaling but I haven't tried that yet on android.

noble arch Nov 20, 2019, 3:51 PM

@formal elk thanks for your reply! I actually didn't try running it on a thread yet and don't think the problem is in dispatching

Thread Ninja - Multithread Coroutine - Asset Store

A simple script helps you write multithread coroutines.

Unity's coroutine is great, but it's not a real thread. And a background thread is not allowed to access Unity's API.

Thread Ninja combines coroutine & background thread, make a method both a coroutine and a backgrou...

If i am developing an app which requires saving of data to a local client file. How do I do this on a phone?

sort of like this but for android https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-dataPath.html

formal elk Nov 21, 2019, 6:24 AM

You need to save to either Application.persistentDataPath or Application.temporaryCachePath depending on the platform. You can use System.IO for that.

You are saving file in a directory that doesn’t exists. Take the path to the folder where you want to save tour file, and check with Direcotry.Exists and Direcotry.Create. File .xxx won’t auto create directories.

@glossy sluice what if I countered the rotation to kind of cancel it off?

cosmic laurel Dec 1, 2019, 5:46 PM

Think I got it. I went into the rotate script for the camera and for

if(touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved )
            {
                rotationY = Quaternion.Euler(0f,touch.deltaPosition.x * rotateSpeedModifer,0f);

                transform.rotation = rotationY * transform.rotation;
            } ```
I removed the "-" negative from "touch.deltaPosition.x" so now the camera rotation and player aim rotation works how I want it. Just gotta figure out how to only rotate the player when they are touched and not when the camera is rotating. Mobile game

So I went to Google Play Console -> Game Services and publish my app there. Everything seems okay (STATUS -> PUBLISHED).

I went back to share my app using the interal app sharing and it still complaints.

So I thought maybe I need to publish my app.

I went to ALl Applications -> MyGame -> app realases -> Manage Internal Test Track and rolled out the app.

Now in my App's dashboard I see STATUS->PENDING PUBLICATION

Why would I need to wait for google to publish my app if I only want to test something? Could anyone PLEASE give me some clues ?

#

You are using two instances of UnityAds in your projects, that's why @uncut lark

#

My advice, remove everything which says UnityAds from your project, Plugins folder / UnityAds / Package Manager and etc

#

and after that add it using Package Manager only

#

and it should work

uncut lark Dec 12, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

I already removed everything and tried again, maybe i forgot something, ill check again

#

Thanks

#

Yea, i didnt delete plugins folder, thank you!!!

@robust hamlet it works, thank you! I am solving this problem 3 days

Should i use latest version of Ads in package manager or latest verified version and is initializing in void start necessary? I found different opinions on internet

Hi guys 🙂 Can anybody tell ? if i want to make build for i phone , and i have desktop PC, used for making android game ,
so if i want to make build for i phone so i need to buy MAC PC ?

robust hamlet Dec 14, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

@final kettle You will need XCODE, which is only available on MAC OS. You can buy an asset from Asset Store which supports building an iOS app on Windows, but never tried that and can't tell if it works well + as far as I know even with that asset you will need a mac os just to set it up.

#

@uncut lark Use the latest version, I am using it in all my projects and never had an issue

uncut lark Dec 14, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

@robust hamlet Thanks, i used verified version 2.0.8 and it works nice, but ill switch in latest version

robust hamlet Dec 14, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

You will probably need to rewrite the initialization and showing ads, keep in mind that

#

the implementation after v3+ is different, I would do that only when I have some free time

#

It's like 15mins work but still, if you are not familiar with it can take a little more time

uncut lark Dec 14, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

I am not familiar, is good idea to just keep on verified version?

#

I mean, its not complicated, very simple to use and it works

robust hamlet Dec 14, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

version 3 should be verified too

Hello, does anyone know how I can change the resolution for my game? I’m using unity remote. I think the reason is that the tablet is super old and is a kindle fire (I jailbreaked to get google play store). I think that’s the case, but if not, does someone know how to change the resolution?

robust hamlet Dec 16, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

@burnt finch you are probably using Unity ads from package manager & asset store, use only one instance

#

or delete your project's Library folder and restart Unity

#

maybe it's an old cache issue

burnt finch Dec 16, 2019, 3:51 PM

i clsoed my project and opened it again

there isnt a problem anymore

sharp quiver Dec 17, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

@patent parrot pretty sure unity remote doesnt display the same way your app will when it's built and run on your device,

#

but your resolution is set in the canvas gameobject

#

well, sort of. you can change the way it scales that way which might be what you're after, but you didn't say what was wrong with the resolution

patent parrot Dec 17, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

Ah ok thanks. The thing wrong with the resolution was that is was a bit grainy and pixel-y, not very clear. And you said you can change the resolution in the canvas game object. Does that mean it changes the resolution for everything or just the canvas parts, like text and buttons?

sharp quiver Dec 17, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

Just canvas parts my bad

brave crow Dec 21, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Hello guys. I'm developing for Android. I built a SaveSystem that serializes data to a file. I need to save this file inside data/data for preventing common users from accessing (root users can access, but that's a minor ammount of users that can do this).

If I use Unity's default Application.persistentDataPath, it saves the file at internal SD storage, which means any user can easily access the file.

So I forced the file to be saved using a custom string path: string path = "data/data/" + Application.identifier.ToString() + "/files/savegame.dat";
This custom strings leads the file to "data/data/com.mycompany.mygame/files" and worked perfectly in every device I tested so long (a few devices only).

I'm afraid this "solution" may lead to any strange behaviours in some different Android devices.

So, can anyone confirm if this is a safe way to do it, or point me to some alternative way to safely force my file to be saved at data/data?

Thanks for now.

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:00 AM

Hey all,

I'm experiencing odd behavior with Handheld.Vibrate (). When I "Build And Run" to my Android phone, vibration works perfectly and as expected. However, if I build an apk, then install it to my phone and open it, then vibration does not occur at all, even when it normally would have during "Build and Run".

Why is this, and how do I get around it?

queen quest Dec 21, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

@noble agate, I don't have a phone at hand so I can't check but, does it request permission to vibrate in any of those cases?

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:11 AM

#

It never requests such. Typically, having Handheld.Vibrate() in your code is supposed to make unity automatically include the permission.

queen quest Dec 21, 2019, 5:16 AM

#

Then I don't have any idea. Have you tried with another android? What is the condition for the phone to vibrate?
Are you using the same apk that got built during build and run?

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:20 AM

#

When the user touches certain on-screen buttons, the phone should vibrate to indicate they pressed the button. I also tried building it with the vibration as the first line, so that it would vibrate the instant you launch the app, but it still doesn't.

I have only tried with my android. However, it works with Build And Run. It only doesn't work when I Build an apk and install it on my device.

Using Build And Run, I don't get to see an apk file. Instead, it instantly runs on my phone, without any apk file being visible or known to me.

queen quest Dec 21, 2019, 5:25 AM

#

Does your phone vibrate with other apps? I'm out of ideas. Maybe vibration is disabled in your phone and it only vibrates on build and run because adb activates vibration?

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:25 AM

#

My phone does vibrate with other apps.
What's adb?

queen quest Dec 21, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

Android Debug Bridge. I think unity uses this to open the app in your phone

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

That would be an interesting cause. But yeah, my phone does vibrate in other apps. It vibrates when I type things on the on-screen keyboard in Discord, for example.

#

AH-HA

#

I FIGURED IT OUT

#

When you do Build And Run, unity ignores your Power Saver mode, and vibrates even if Power Saver is on.
However, when you install the apk and run it, the game is subject to effects of power saver mode, which means vibration is disabled.

So the difference between Build And Run and manual installation was whether the game is affected by your power settings.

#

lmao

queen quest Dec 21, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

Ohhhhh! that's good to know. I was surprised it didn't work with the apk. It's usually the other way around: vibration only works with the apk installed 😄

noble agate Dec 21, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

Haha. Some solutions are the most out of the blue.

#

Well, thanks for walking through the issue with me. It helped jog my mind to the solution.

#

Ah good idea. Okay so my developer and I have a Unity game, that we export to xCode etc. so in the game, 3 characters, and each does something unique, a different jump and an attack. All of them work great in the unity build, but when exported to xCode, the character doesn’t jump. Well, it’s like a long tap hover. Hold down and it hovers. In xCode and built on my iPhone, it doesn’t do that. It just stands there. Is there a way in xCode to make it work? Or is that unity? Is it based off the touch event?
