anyone have simple base ideas for mobile games, im out
#📱┃mobile
lofty flame
eternal violet
lol, i mean the mobile market is highly competitiv
what good would it do me to give u a worthy idea of a game
u just gotta somehow take insipiration from other games or trends and work it out yo self id say
unborn valley
is using the remote player any idea of how the fps is gonna be on your game even though its via cable?
iron acorn
@unborn valley don't trust remote. It doesn't reflect your game's performance. Build your game to test.
muted osprey
@iron acorn Thanks. I actually had that exact same question.
unborn valley
@iron acorn yeah bro thanks!
oblique spindle
While building apk it always shows gradle build failed. Can anyone help me.
eternal violet
lol, dod use remote if you want, its easy to test and debug certain things
coz u can viusally see waht happens int he scene
and observe yo public variables
and when you build yo game, it will be smooth alrite
@oblique spindle go to preferences, and uncheck jdk, save project, leave project, open project, tick jdk, and then save and build and run
quartz kernel
The question was whether Remote gives an accurate representation of performance, which it does not
eternal violet
oh, i took dlich build your game to test, to test the game
not for perfomance
mhmm idk tho, it may mean waht i thought it mean
so my point still stands

Hey all,
Is there a way in Unity to catch android KeyEvent#KEYCODE_CAMERA. It seems it is not part of Keycode enumeration of Unity input. Is it necessary to work with exported project if we want to handle this key event ?
oblique spindle
@eternal violet thanks I will try it.
fast tree
I get this question is project to project bases. I am using a object pool that will be used across my game. I am planing to have 300+ items, this list could get to 500-600 in the later game. Each item will be a button that shows a icon, number of items and colors based on rarity in a grid.
The question is will mobile be able to handle a grid list of 300+ elements in a grid layout? how many UI elements can you have a in a grid layout before performance gets hit? even using a object pool? I am on the fence if I want to build infinite scroll UI that recycle the same 30 or so UI elements. I would put myself just above beginner programmer.

@fast tree did you try this one? https://github.com/setchi/FancyScrollView

Anyone have any basic or simple mobile touch control game ideas? Mainly to use as a base
gritty silo
That depends on what you want to do, what type of movement do you have in your game?
lofty flame
@gritty silo just a simple base game idea to build upon. i want to get into mobile game design and dont know where to start
glossy sluice
I want a ball do go side to side but its going diagonal
https://hatebin.com/kmglacoath
warm adder
@glossy sluice maybe try rb.velocity = new Vector2(direction.x, 0) * moveSpeed;
you were setting y velocity the same as x velocity
glossy sluice
ok ill try it thanks 🙂
gritty silo
@lofty flame you could use press to jump and some swipes to go right or left.
Don’t know if you want literally a game idea. But why not a platformer?
You can do any original movement and make a platformer with it!
lofty flame
thanks. i feel like a ton of mobile games that do well are ones that u can play endlessly that have like 1 or 2 mechanics.
like a ton of the voodoo games
@gritty silo
gritty silo
@lofty flame
You can do an endless platformer with only jump control.
Like the player move side to side on the horizontal axis and to go up you have to jump.
If you jump on an other platform, you earn one point.
gritty silo
@lofty flame
Move to the left side of the screen then to right side of the screen, then left, etc...
lofty flame
oh okay
or like ur platforms and then have say 3 seconds until they fall and u go side to side on the platform and u wait till u line up with another
@gritty silo
gritty silo
Yes, why?
gritty silo
The three of them. I am working actually on a2d mobile game and a 3D one.
@lofty flame
gritty silo
No sorry...
@lofty flame
gritty silo
Asset store or making myself, that depend...
lofty flame
nice
im debating if i want to make it a colorful game like with fun art or like a 8 bit game thats all pixelixed
gritty silo
Most of the voodoo game (if it is your reference) are using colourful and smooth shapes to make their games. But Pixel is fun when it is colourful too!
@lofty flame
lofty flame
Yeah! I just don’t know where to find the colorful smooth shapes
gritty silo
Or you create it or you find it on the asset store or other type of website that can provide 2D sprites. @lofty flame
lofty flame
okay thanks
gritty silo
No problem!
@lofty flame
The better is to create yourself so you don’t have any copyright problem.
gritty silo
Okay!

Hey, I wanted to ask a question, how to make my game light on mobile.
I have an android game and I'm using Unity URP.
I have near 115 batches, 50k tris and 100k verts. FPS in my Vivo V5 Lite (Low end Phone) is 10.
I have anti aliasing set as 2x in URP setting, everything else is same.
No post processing, little shadow.
I got less FPS, that's why I set the DPI as 300, now FPS is more less.
What should I do to make the game lighter? I mean I get 50-60 FPS on Editor and on device simulator it is 30-40 FPS on average, what happens on real device, is just 10 FPS.
PS: I checked on a high end mobile too, FPS was 15-20. Textures are also low in size like 300 kb each (Albedo, Normal, Metallic)
Please help 😅 do I need to follow some important steps to make stuff right? Reply by tagging me
Have a nice day.
You may check the app once here...
quartz kernel
Looking at those numbers it’s probably the batches you should focus on. How are you doing your lighting?
Also be sure to get familiar with the profiler, it will tell you where time is spent
scarlet sluice
Heya thanks for your reply :) I think I know you, anyways
I used mixed lightning, I tried baked lightning but it gave a lightless scene, any idea why is that?
Also I have model set to static
And yea I did used profiler. Most cpu was taken by term called Couroutine delay
It produced near 30 ms out of total 60-80
And other went to texturing
The above apk is deep profiled, if it's possible and you get time, you may once check it in unity yourself, or I will give pics tomorrow 🙃
scarlet sluice
Hey <@&502884371011731486> is this spamming allowed here 😅 👆
Please delete my message if you read it
eternal violet
Ye, mez is spsmming
Ban him
@scarlet sluice btw the suze of texturees itself isnt really the issue tha ttives low fps
First of all do
Applicstion.targetframerate = 30;
Second on quality settings
Set mobile to lowest
And put pixel light count to 1
And shadows hard and soft
And thats it
And regarding the image sizes, xan be reduced by lowering pixel count u see in inspector
When u select th image or texture
To 512
Id say
Or 1024
scarlet sluice
Thanks for your reply @eternal violet , hope you will have no problem as I'm tagging you.
I will check the frame rate target thing.
I already have the lowest option set in quality.
About the shadows, I'm using URP so hence least shadow setting, and shadow texture size 1024.

@glossy sluice you're creating a function in a function, you need to move the definition of LoadCurrentScene outside of Update. Then you can call LoadCurrentScene in Update or where-ever you want

Hi guys, I have a question. I'm developing a mobile game with a scene that contains several buildings which has a high number of batches. does UV seems on those buildings have impact on batches?
scarlet sluice
Yea, if those building are untouchable then disable all colliders as well as make the whole building with one material, if they are interactive, batch them together using something like MeshBaker. @merry acorn
It's the best way 😅
Also I need some help in mobile game, as you see, the game will be played on different devices, some having big screen, how to set low resolution for different mobiles.
Like I tried having res of 700 480 on my mobile, but it looked stretched in my other phone.
I'm not talking about the UI, but the scene itself. What is the way to correct this issue, I mean how to set resolution in different mobiles which will increase FPS, but not strech the whole scene.
Please reply by tagging me 👆
glass crater
@scarlet sluice Use the Fixed DPI setting, it'll keep the same aspect ratio but adjust the screen resolution. https://twitter.com/derekarndt/status/1290646168591044610
scarlet sluice
Hey thanks @glass crater , I tried setting DPI to 300 (fixed) but it cause no difference. What DPI should I set for smooth sailing?

why is the TMPro blury in game?
quartz kernel
Because you are on scale 3.21 @glossy sluice. In the game view

ik but it looks blury when i play it on mobile
i zoomed in so i could show you guys
quartz kernel
Make a new game view size with the exact pixel values from your phone and you can see how it looks at that resolution
quartz kernel
No, where it says 16:9 Portrait, you can add more sizes

Hello everyone, I would just like to asked does anyone know how the logic of the mobile joystick controller works? P.S. I wanted to learn from the ground up, so preferable no plugins since most of the tutorials I've seen has their own logic behind it.
zenith hamlet
hey, does anyone know how i can lock the resolution across different android devices? im usign 600x1024, but other resolutions get stretched....
or just get out of the screen
latent osprey
@sly palm it's just turning the position of the finger relative to the start of the touch point into the input axes
@zenith hamlet i don't think you should be requesting a resolution that isn't the native device size or some multiple of it
@quartz kernel @glossy sluice use device simulator
@scarlet sluice why are you using anti-aliasing on a mobile device...
scarlet sluice
Aah, I'm using 2x AA, because the model looked very very edgy
It was way too aliased
So I was forced to use it, else you could literally see the zagged edges.
Any way to prevent that though? Without using AA?
scarlet sluice
@zenith hamlet I did a little research on it and found out on Game Dev stack that having same resolution is possible but it will create black edges on the other part.
One thing you can do is take the device current resolution
Multiply with say 0.7
Then set it as new resolution, this way you may save some GPU work.
zenith hamlet
how do i change the resolution for each device?
scarlet sluice
I'm not sure, go through docs one
zenith hamlet
you mean i'll have to write code for each possible resolution...?
scarlet sluice
Or do a quick search
Nope nope
Just get the current resolution
Multiply it with 0.7 or something like that.
Then set the new value as the resolution.
This will make the game a little loss on quality.
But it will be way faster
scarlet sluice
In Awake function
Like
int height = Screen.GetHeight * 0.7
//same for breadth
Screen.SetResolution(height, breadth)
Something like this.
zenith hamlet
what is breadth?
zenith hamlet
width?
zenith hamlet
😄
scarlet sluice
I'm multiplying the value of the current device width/length
So it will be different for different devices
zenith hamlet
ahh okay
scarlet sluice
You may need to write different codes for iOS, they have intense amount of DPI
It will make the device hot very soon
zenith hamlet
and if it doesnt work, do you know how to do the resolution that you mentioned that leaves black spaces?
scarlet sluice
Yea wait, I got a link
zenith hamlet
i dont mind for gpu stuff, my game is verrryyy simple
scarlet sluice
Ohk
It will look bad though, the black borders.
Your take
Gtg to sleep, see ya
lofty flame
How do I scale every phone to 1920
verbal cove
is there any standard path for saveing datas at device outside of game?
glass crater
@scarlet sluice are you still manually setting the resolution? The DPI depends how sharp you want your game to be versus how performant
scarlet sluice
@glass crater yea I'm thinking to not manually set DPI, I mean I set it to 300 and game was still crystal clear, too much I would say
I will play with resolution maybe

Hello everyone!
We are currently developing an avatar system for a series of minigames and have found a little issue (and could be something about our implementation).
The goal is to be able to modify the avatar body, clothes and accessories and use that character through the games. We found that it is not possible to have all the parts on individual fbx files and assemble them at runtime as needed... But, following this approach the system is too difficult to sustain (from the art to the implementation).
We are aiming to create a system "Sim's like", where you create your character and play with it.
Does anyone have an idea of how to do it? Our main problem right now is that we have a huge fbx file with dozens of meshes and doing it other wise would break the generated avatar (stops rendering).

Guys, my game used to work on phone.
I have probably been working for a month without testing on phone as my laptop cannot build android builds.
I then decided to test my game again on android and built it from my pc, since last time I tested my game I ran another version of unity, now I have a big problem, my game starts and instantly starts screen flickering, you dont even get to see the game or unity logo or anything, it just flickers fullscreen.
Anybody got any ideas? Unity 2019.4.8f1

hi we use Input.GetKeyDown in PC for recognizing which button pressed such as K,A,W,G,H. But is this statement support for mobile keyboard ? If i call TouchScreenKeyboard.Open then how can i say if K pressed in touchscreenkeyboard then do that function ?

No @heavy furnace, when the on-screen keyboard is enabled it hijacks all inputs essentially
heavy furnace
is there any way to recognize this keyboard events?

I think if you connect a physical keyboard it will work like on a computer
But as for the on-screen one, you can only listen for the submit I believe

Yeah only on that phone, I'm also assuming any other phone with the same gpu but for this build I believe it was vulkan

so this isn't about unity specifically, but I have a game that I don't plan on putting on the play store, but rather just hosting on my own website. which means I am going to need to handle update management and all that. if possible I would love for it to just check for a new version when it starts and then automatically download that, but I'd also be fine with being able to somehow like remotely switch the value for a playerpref or something that notifies players theres a new update when they open the app whenever I make a new update. how would I go about adding this kind of "remote control" to my game?
I know you can use something like Firebase or whatever it is for mobile push notifications over the cloud but I don't really want to have to pack all of that into my app and would rather just have a cleaner or more simple solution than that

anyone who makes mobile webgl projects here?
Did you ever notice that the images that are displayed on Android Chrome get blurry if you go fullscreen? You can notice this more easily if you have an image that just has some text and a transparent background.
This doesn't happen in other browsers, like Android Firefox
Anybody knows a solution for this?
shadow kernel
I'll just leave this minimal reproducible example here. If you have nothing to do and feel like taking a look. All you have to do is click on the button to go fullscreen. It's just a dirty example, the fullscreen is not implemented properly(not on pointerdown, etc), so sometimes you need to click more than once for it to work.

@shadow kernel i think you need to set the resolution
it will full screen at the canvas element's resolution

Mobile development camera
Hey, so I’ve been learning c# and unity and I’ve been searching for weeks now, and the answer is probably simpler than I’m making it out. I wouldn’t be asking unless I exhausted options.
So I’m making a 2d game on mobile, and I have my camera, I know how to zoom in and out in Unity for it, but what I don’t get, is how to make my camera the shape of the mobile screen. My game is a platformer that’s the size of the mobile screen, when my character moves, camera won’t.
So say I’m building for specifically iOS and the latest iPhone, how the hell do I make my camera that size? Like I have made all my assets, but no idea the size or constraints so I can start making each scene.
Tried YouTube and Udemy, but just can’t find the answer.
Again it’s probably simple, but so stuck lol!

Hey there, may someone has a good tutorial for saving for a mobile game ? I read every that player prefs are bad ... but i have no clue about how to do correctly
eternal violet
lol
it all depends on waht u gonna use player prefs for
like just for the score then thats fine
its super easy tho
u just do playerprfs.SetInt("Score",0);
and just do GetInt for getting the value of "Score" playeprefs

@late sparrow You can safely use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html for saving on mobile

There are also assets on the asset store explicitly for saving

but it looks like people principally use gogole play service to save no ?

You want to keep data locally as well, some people don't use data or try not to outside of wi-fi connection

Hi everyone. Need some help with restore purchase on iOS.

But now, I’m getting “Unavailable product xxx.xxx.xxx” when trying to restore..... any ideas?

Okay can anyone take a picture of me where to download android apk?

You can't download it unless you publish it somewhere. What Unity does is compile your project and generates a .apk file somewhere in your computer (this is the android game that you created). Once you find this file you can export it your plugged android device to install and test it. Unless you mean android sdk which is a different topic

Hey guys, got an issue I can't fix for 2 days already 😦 I have google and facebook Ads in my mobile game, for some reason after fiddling with the environment paths, I get a weird error which google can't help with, but the main problem is, i can't seem to roll back. Re-installing unity with Android SDK/JDK didn't help, removing all previously added environment paths didn't help.
Meanwhile setting up my project on another host, is totally fine, and works.
tame flame
Its a long story, but shortly speaking, i had AdMob and FAN working together no porblems. Once I've added FB SDK and it started complaining about SDK not being there, and many other tools, I've manually set Windows environmental paths to the Android SDK/JDK so that FB could see them, it worked, but it broke FAN(facebook ads) with a weird error(attaching as image). I tried to backtrack to the last working commit, but i get the same error with Facebook ads, even after re-installing the Unity with its SDKs, removing all previously set paths, restarting, etc. I Simply cannot return to how it was previously. To ensure that the last commit is functioning, i brought it up on another host and all works fine.

Hi all,
I'm looking for the minimal AndroidManifest to add required feature on the gyroscope
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.gyroscope" android:required="true" />
hot pendant
what you mean the right way to add to manifest the permission for the gyroscope?
but has a required permission?
or you mean to add to filter so only devices that have the feature gyroscope can download it ? @still sierra
still sierra
no I want tu support only devices with gyroscope
still sierra
but when I add this in a simple manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.gyroscope" android:required="true" /> </manifest>
The merge is not correct
I lose the name of the app in the final manifest
hot pendant
put your manifest with gyroscope requirement has the main one marking on the player settings
here and on it put your manifest
still sierra
I build with unity 2018

Plugin/Android
hot pendant
In this situation, Android Libraries’ Manifests are later merged into your main Manifest, and the resulting Manifest is still tweaked by Unity to make sure the configuration is correct. For full control of the Manifest, including permissions, you need to export the Project and modify the final Manifest in Android Studio. Please note that we only support launchMode - singleTask.
according to unity documentation for 2018
when having a manifest there you are overriding all others manifest and not merging your own.
so they suggest compiling via android studio exporting the project
let me keep digging a little more here
still sierra
Ok I was thinking some data are merged, because I keep the icon, and other meta-data
hot pendant
@still sierra see in the folder Temp/StagingArea/AndroidManifest.xml for the result manifest
and fix it and put on the Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml
i think is the best way to do it
in temp after compiling to android unity drop there the final "merged" version that will be add to apk
so you can copy it
look see the erro and fix it
and them put this has a main manifest
still sierra
Yes I will probably do that, I was wondering if there is an alternative to keep the generated manifest for more flexibility
hot pendant
since
To use an Android Manifest that you have created outside of Unity, import your Android Manifest file to the following location: Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml. This overrides the default Unity-created Manifest.
Yes I will probably do that, I was wondering if there is an alternative to keep the generated manifest for more flexibility
@still sierra that would be amazing.. but i think they improved a lot since them about the merge
has you can see is not a automatic way of override the unity manifest merge
we can customize more now
maybe one day a manifest editor
that will show the final result of the manifest merge before build
still sierra
yes it would be cool

Is there a better way to test your game then either Unity 5 Remote and downloading the apk to your phone and installing it every time you make a change?

In 2020 you have the device simulator which gives you something different

Is it better then the type methods I mentioned? I mean if the second method had an automation system where when I saved it compiled it and installed it on my phone that would be somewhat better then having to copy it over every time and install it

@brisk raven in your phone's settings section -> Developer Options you should have an option called: Revoke USB debugging authorizations
Click that and connect your device again, it will show you the popup to authorize your device and it will start working

no authorize message
iron acorn
@brisk raven if I were you I'd avoid testing the game on remote. It's pretty bad. It actually runs the game in your pc, forwards the view to the device and gets input from it. So there's a huge overhead in performance. If you still want to get it running it requires a certain sequnc of steps. Something like: close unity, connect your phone, make sure it's in developer mode, open unity, make sure your device is among the available sevices in the build settings, press play.
Before trying that make sure you configured your project/editor settings in the proper way and have android sdk/jdk/ndk installed properly.

Hey everybody,
I am having an issue with how the Apple TV remote MENU button behaves in my latest tvOS build. We released our game Vectronom on tvOS last year so everything used to work, but now it does not anymore. The menu buttons is basically mapped to be the ESC key in that it pauses the game and/or closes any menu that is currently open. But now that I am trying to update our app (we are now also on 2019.3.3f1 as opposed to some 2018 version last year) it simply throws me back to the Apple TV home screen.
I know about Remote.allowExitToHome and what it does, but if i set this to false, I simply don't receive any inputs at all. We have been and are still using Rewired (latest version) for input.
Did anybody else have this issue too? I am running out of ideas. Next step would be updating to the lastest LTS version but I also really do not want to do that.
Thanks in advance for any help!
sacred roost
Ok, in case anybody else has this issue in the future, this is the hacky solution for fixing the problem: https://forum.unity.com/threads/rewired-advanced-input-for-unity.270693/page-119#post-5438304
The button id is not 0 but 19 in the Xcode project Unity builds so it needs be changed back manually in Xcode. Hope this helps anyone struggling as I did.

If you're on Unity 2020 then it now has a device simulator that lets you see the screen in editor which is nice. Otherwise I would set up some ratios based on some of the most popular phones

Hey everyone, has anyone experienced the issue with iOS 14 where your Unity app supposedly accesses the clipboard and pops that nasty notification informing the user that something was pasted from the clipboard?
I'm only using Firebase/Facebook/Google/Odin mobiles and nothing shady whatsoever... And there is no reference to the EditorGUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer anywhere in the C# code...
Maybe it would be in some dll somewhere?

I wouldn't be surprised if one of those plugins would cause this issue. I would try adding them one by one to a new project and see when it happens. But if they are the root of it, I'm not sure if you would be able to prevent it happening

does anyone know if Unity makes crash dumps for Android builds?
I know that if native code crashes the app, a tombstone gets written - but what about crashes that aren't native code? (null game object refs, exceptions, etc.)?
Just trying to learn what kind of information I can get from an app crash; I've been looking into it for a few days now, but that's one that I couldn't find any definitive answer on (or rather, I didn't see any info that Unity writes any such crash dumps, so I just want to make sure that's the case).

that must depend on so many hardware factors not just if its android or ios

Hi, is it possible to buy the same subscription product multiple times via appstore or google play IAP?
Context: my app is going to have multiple user profiles support. Only one is available by default, but you can add more, and I want each profile to be a subscription.
Do I have to make a limit, i.e max 4 additional profiles and set them as separate products in app stores, (profile1_subscription, profile2_subscription). Or can I have one product (additional_profile_subscription), that will add to the monthly total, when bought more than once?

hello Im looking for a complete Logging solution for production. My concern is right now im using unity reports but doesnt seem to be enough.
For example, how could i retrieve the log from a determinated device in the other side of the world that i know it had a problem ?
im using my own now, and im thinking to store all logs into a file or playerPrefs, (keeping always the last 500 entries), and maybe whenever theres something wrong and UserReports has not sent me the info i can enable something via firebase to that device to send me that info.... or make the player push something to send me
anyway, do you guys know any asset that does all this for you ?

Heya guys, I need little help.
I have imported the latest PlayGames package and its not working properly
I don't have namespace of GooglePlayGames.BasicAPI

@scarlet sluice did u run the google play setup and also make sure your environment is set to android
scarlet sluice
yep
both done
you see, I have the GooglePlayGames class
that means its working

not sure actually...probably can try close your script editor, reimport the folder and open your script editor agian
scarlet sluice
yep... its giving error in Unity too

if you have errors in unity than it probably didnt compile so you dont have access to new stuff
what are the errors?

nope, I meant that when I used the namespace GooglePlayGAmes.BasicApi;
it gave error

i used oldaer version of the package
now GooglePlayGAmes cannot be found
any idea? which play games version is correct?

are log files a bad practice on mobile game dev or is there something wrong with what i'm asking? because i barely find assets about this, the ones I find are shitty and nobody seem to be able to answer me
right now I'm using unity reports so whenever theres an error we receive a report, but I would like to have a detailed log of the last operations that occured in device to be able to debug the cause of possible crashes....

@indigo condor you can use Firebase for that. If has Crashlytics which logs crashes and if you add some logs with user interactions and details about his progress since the game start you can follow his steps and reproduce the crash
You just have to add logs yourself

@indigo condor you can use Firebase for that. If has Crashlytics which logs crashes and if you add some logs with user interactions and details about his progress since the game start you can follow his steps and reproduce the crash
@robust hamlet But the monetary costs of hundreds of devices sendinng logs to firebase must be extremely high, we use firebase for log in and keep some user data and we have seen we must be very careful with firebase or they can suck your blood
@robust hamlet , its damn free..... 😐
I didnnt evenn bother lookinng at it because i thought the pricinng would be excessive
but its free, and the amazon alterative its free to
too
robust hamlet
yep, it's free and really good, I've been using Firebase for quiet a long time for crash detecting on Android / iOS and Unity

yeah we are using firebase auth, realtime db, and functions
and i have analytics enabled, (not using it btw)
but i didnt even think it would be free

Hey guys, I'm getting less than 20FPS. Here's my profiler, it looks like Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread take 71.6% of the frames and RenderPipelineManager.DoRenderLoop_Internal() takes up 51.1%.
What should I "fix" to get more FPS?
PS: This only happens on ARM64 devices, ARMv7 devices are at 60-59FPS.
subtle mulch
Did you need is performance?
lone heron
Yes.
I've implemented every optimization tips I can find, the only difference it makes is on 32 bit devices, 64 bit devices stays the same at 30-8FPS
quiet cipher
try turn of vsync
lone heron
It is already off.
quiet cipher
how complex is your scene?
also another way to optimize mobile title is you dont render in full resolution
if I not mistaken my lowest graphic setting is only render at 50% of the screen resolution
so it run faster on slower chip
lone heron
@quiet cipher This time, mine runs faster on older and low end devices. But slower on higher end and modern devices.
quiet cipher
haha I dont know...which unity version u running?
lone heron
I allowed only OpenGLES2 API on my project and I've got 70 - 60 FPS on the 64 bit devices now.
quiet cipher
@lone heron I haven't experiment with DPI and didn't think of it until you mentioned it, haha. Anyway I using Vulkan as primary and it improved the performance a lot, opengles 3 as second(Cause thats the minimum requirement for Linear Color Space). I also provided low to ultra graphic setting, to allow user to adjust texture resolutions, LOD distance, screen resolutions and something else that I cant remember
all of the lightmap object will use unity built-in mobile shader, dynamic object will be custom mobile shader
anyway, I no think you can change the DPI, it is read-only data field
lone heron
@quiet cipher I was targeting older devices, and linear color space does not support OpenGLES2 so I had to switch to gamma, and work on lighting to bring out that linear color "feel".
When I had Vulkan and OpenGLES3 enabled, there was a huge frame rate drop.
quiet cipher
well...I guess at the end is depend on how complex your scene...
lone heron
Yeah, I actually thought that OpenGLES3 would be faster than 2.
quiet cipher
nope, I remember I read some comparison somewhere on internet, 2 was faster cause of the limited feature it provided, 3 provide more feature to improve visual with using more performance
what sort of optimization you have done?
lone heron
Batching, no shadows, used occlusion and frustum culling, reduced texture quality, used bakedlit and simple lit shaders from URP, culled realtime lights to the player and a few enemies only, used emissive materials to fake lighting, used bake lightmaps, adjusted Render Scale to 0.7, disabled vSync..
...and GPU Instancing.
quiet cipher
but actually I think its quite fine when you can hit 60-70fps
lone heron
Yeah.
quiet cipher
also I do have play a bit with lightmaps size and count
so I use the custom lightmap setting to force objects with same material and texture try to bake together in same texture, so the batching will work
I think is called lightmap profile or what, cant remember the name
lone heron
Yeah, it is available in 2020 version, I'm using 2019.
lone heron
It is.
lapis hull
hello everyone! I've got a question. What would be the best way to create traffic lights? I tried using emissive textures, but they work only on baked lightmaps, so that means my traffic lights won't be updated. I tried using area lights before, but they seem to cause lag. What do you guys think?

Hi, how can I rotate a gameobject with something like this
transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward, movement * Time.fixedDeltaTime * -moveSpeed);
with the phone gyroscope ?
kindred escarp
@south lintel found part of this code off of https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Gyroscope.html so feel free to check it out:
using UnityEngine;
public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
protected void Update()
{
GyroModifyCamera();
}
/********************************************/
// The Gyroscope is right-handed. Unity is left handed.
// Make the necessary change to the camera.
void GyroModifyCamera()
{
transform.rotation = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude);
}
private static Quaternion GyroToUnity(Quaternion q)
{
return new Quaternion(q.x, q.y, -q.z, -q.w);
}
}
@south lintel found part of this code off of https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Gyroscope.html so feel free to check it out:
using UnityEngine; public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour { protected void Update() { GyroModifyCamera(); } /********************************************/ // The Gyroscope is right-handed. Unity is left handed. // Make the necessary change to the camera. void GyroModifyCamera() { transform.rotation = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude); } private static Quaternion GyroToUnity(Quaternion q) { return new Quaternion(q.x, q.y, -q.z, -q.w); } }
@kindred escarp Wont work like that, any idea how to rotate an object around a point only on one axis?
south lintel
The project is like this https://youtu.be/p8MzsDBI5EI
I want to rotate that point/player with the gyroscope
kindred escarp
I guess how I would do it would be
transform.rotation.y = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude).y?
I don't know how you want it
south lintel
look at the video at minute 9 - 10
thats the final game and I want to rotate that "player" with the gyroscope
kindred escarp
alright
south lintel
like turning the phone left right while faceing up or towards you
kindred escarp
transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.forward, movement * Time.fixedDeltaTime * -moveSpeed);
this script would be to turn the player around using the variable "movement"
and
movement = InputAxisRaw("Horizontal");
It should work honestly
south lintel
Yes and now I want to do it with the phone gyroscope
kindred escarp
ok
public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
protected void Update()
{
GyroModifyCamera();
}
/********************************************/
// The Gyroscope is right-handed. Unity is left handed.
// Make the necessary change to the camera.
void GyroModifyCamera()
{
transform.rotation = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude);
}
private static Quaternion GyroToUnity(Quaternion q)
{
return new Quaternion(q.x, q.y, -q.z, -q.w);
}
}```
using this you could do
`movement = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude)`just letting you know i'm not very fluent in unity
i've only been learning for around three days
south lintel
Only 3 days??
kindred escarp
yes
and i don't use c#
i know python and that's about it
maybe i'm not the right person to be helping you with this
south lintel
i know python and that's about it
@kindred escarp me too
kindred escarp
haha
south lintel
public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour { protected void Update() { GyroModifyCamera(); } /********************************************/ // The Gyroscope is right-handed. Unity is left handed. // Make the necessary change to the camera. void GyroModifyCamera() { transform.rotation = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude); } private static Quaternion GyroToUnity(Quaternion q) { return new Quaternion(q.x, q.y, -q.z, -q.w); } }``` using this you could do `movement = GyroToUnity(Input.gyro.attitude)`
@kindred escarp nope
movement is float
kindred escarp
ok
south lintel
and GyroToUnity is Quaternion
kindred escarp
transform.rotation.y = Input.gyro.attitude.y;
i honestly don't know
i've tried to help you but it seems i'm not the right person for the job
