that wouldn't be 0,0 then

#

because your object is not constructed in a way that would make the red square be the center of the object

orchid gust
#

ok, then is there a way to instantiate but have the position be relative to the red dot, or do i need to modify position of the whole object to get the red dot to be where i want the origin

It works like a charm! Thank you!!!

hey im trying to make a script that makes it so my camera follows my player, at 1/10th of the speed (deliberately exaggerated number for testing purposes) but when i run the game with this script it just either locks my player in place (despite the script not interacting with the player movement at all, only getting its location) or shows me nothing (but acts like it should be able to see my player in scene view).
here is the script
FollowCamera.transform.position = new Vector3(FollowObject.transform.position.x - FollowCamera.transform.position.x / FollowSpeed, FollowObject.transform.position.y - FollowCamera.transform.position.y / FollowSpeed);

I always suggest w3schools if your unfamiliar with C# or need a refresher on the basics, they have lessons you can test code you learn on their website so its nice - I would also suggest keeping a notepad as you learn so you can write down specifics about what your learning, and terms to google later, maybe even bookmark MSDN and the Unity docs/manual when you get stuck, aside from that, as navarone mentioned, practice and experiment - try to do things different from what you learn so you can understand why its taught in a specific way and if theres other ways to achieve the same goal (there usually is)

Hey I'm having an issue with switching scenes in my multiplayer game, so im using multiplay, matchmaker, and netcode for gameobjects and im trying to make it so the player starts a client side connection than switches from the main menu scene to the game scene I've got the client side connection and the matchmaking set up but I can't figure out scene changes while connected can someone plz assist me with this?

somber nacelle

somber nacelle

you should click that link i sent. it's literally the documentation for scene synchronization/management

unreal gale
#

Oh ig I should have mentioned im trying to do this with a button so when you click it you join as a client than switch scenes

somber nacelle
#

cool. so read the docs about scene management

Quaternion lookRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(rotatedDirection);
Quaternion spreadLookRotation =  Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotOffset, lookRotation * Vector3.up);
Vector3 spreadPosition = startPosition + spreadLookRotation * positionalOffset;```
So I am projecting an object forward relative to another object's forward direction, which include some angle values on the x and y. I then use a position a few units ahead in that direction to then instantiate objects that are rotated around like a fragment grenade effect. My problem is that on x values (which would be my tilt direction) that if I were to have specific angles of 90 then it seems like I run into gimbal lock. 

lookRotation = forward direction + angle offset
startPosition = the position in the first direction projected num units forward
rotOffset = the angles in which objects are dispersed around startPosition
positionalOffset = an offset position for objects dispersed from startPosition

https://i.imgur.com/mOjqfRy.png
x = -89 then x = -90 here

#

I guess my question is if there's a better way to handle this, though for the most part it works exactly how I want as long as I don't have those specific 90 rotations, or would anyone bat an eye if I added a comparison check to add a small float values onto these bad angles haha

I can get enum's string using nameof(Enum.Thing). But are there built in way to do the reverse operation?
from string to enum.

somber nacelle
#

no

#

okay actually, let me rephrase. there is Enum.Parse technically. i wouldn't recommend that though as the string has to match the enum's name perfectly. you would be better off converting it manually with a switch statement so that you can control the casing yourself (since that obviously matters)

delicate flax
dense swan
#

Aaah, thanks.

somber nacelle
#

why do you need to convert a string to an enum in the first place though

dense swan
delicate flax
#

serialization maybe? could be many reasons

somber nacelle
dense swan
# somber nacelle but enums are just ints already

i wanted to avoid situation where I have player with savegame. and then someone in our team modify the enums, they remove some enum key and add some. Now their int that is previously saved no longer represent what they actually are. If we patch the game, the old savegame will be messed up.

there is a way to keep the int the same by adding = 8923 to the enum, but I tried to assign the same number to multiple enum and the compiler doesn't throw an error, that worries me a little.

somber nacelle
#

well you're not going to get any warnings about your strings not being correct. you're just going to end up with runtime errors instead

dense swan
#

that's okay. I just need to handle the error during load, at least the savegame still represent the actual state.
also my savegame already had anti-tampering in case player modify their string manually. (I originally used it to check corruption by hashing the savegame)

somber nacelle
#

also it sounds like you're just serializing a dictionary. why not just create a class that you serialize then you won't need to worry about enum keys being incorrect or whatever it is you're trying to solve

dense swan
#

i am using class and serialize it to json.
also I can't use JsonUtility.ToJson using dictionary for some reason. It doesn't get saved. The dictionary is inside the class.
But List can

somber nacelle
#

right, jsonutility cannot serialize a dictionary. but if you're just serializing a class directly why would you need enum keys?

dense swan
#

type safety.

somber nacelle
#

for what

dense swan
#

for when I'm writing the game logic. I'd like to avoid magic string as much as possible

somber nacelle
#

that is obviously not what i was referring to. what are the enums actually being used for

dense swan
#

AH sorry, I didn't catch it. I'm using it as a key for item that I can add in inventory. I'm still using dictionary to save the items. Dictionary<ItemEnum,int> inventory;

somber nacelle
#

okay well i would still recommend using ints. you're going to slow down your serialization/deserialization by using strings, potentially generate a bunch of garbage, and also you would (hopefully) have some testing in place that would let you know when you've got enums with the same integer values (since that would throw an exception when trying to add to the dictionary with that key since the key already exists in the dict).
but you do you 🤷‍♂️

I'd use int IDs for items instead of enums. Hard coding all your items sounds like a pain.

# cosmic rain I'd use int IDs for items instead of enums. Hard coding all your items sounds li...

We did use int for item ID in our previous project. Personally I think it's more pain, I had to constantly look what item id is what. And looking at the code and the scene, it's not immediately obvious what Item I'm working with.

We will try using enum for this project and see how it goes. (we use OdinInspector addon which can show enum in the inspector, if not because of this addon I probably won't consider using enum)

cosmic rain
dense swan
cosmic rain
#

Also, if you really need to look at the saved data manually, many create a tool that parses it to readable form.

cosmic rain
#

If you had hundreds or thousands, that would be problematic.

dense swan
somber nacelle
#

pain related. that enum would be an absolute nightmare to manage

cosmic rain
#

Let's say you have a designer on your team that wants to add a new item to the project. They would need to know a bit of coding and mess with the source code to add that new item or ask a programmer to do it. That's very inefficient.

#

And even if it's just you, it would be way cleaner to create a new item asset and add it to a list in the editor instead of going to the source code and hard coding it.

#

Future updates(after the game is released) would also be more difficult if you want to add new items.

delicate flax
dense swan
# cosmic rain And even if it's just you, it would be way cleaner to create a new item asset an...

is asset like... ScriptableObject? it does sound fun, maybe I'll try that instead.
Maybe something like,... adding new item to the database by adding new ScriptableObject into the project folder, and then using the ScriptableObject for referencing the item. This should allow drag and drop item into game logic easily. Just need to figure out how to get unique identifier for the scriptable object for the savedata.

cosmic rain
cosmic rain
delicate flax

#

same for localization files

#

if you just need an int/id for the item you could also just hash the name (given that the ids don't need to be sequential and that item names are unique)

The fact that this crashes without the null check really bothers me.

    public void EventuallyDecreaseCount(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("Made it this far");
        if (this != null)
        {
            StartCoroutine(OnTriggerEnterDoPause(other));
        }

    }

yes sir, it is. how did you know?

A common problem

Don't forget to unsubscribe when you destroy the object.

If I have a scriptable object and I wanted to be able to add a dictionary "Dictionary<Sprite, int>, how could I setup my scriptable object script so I can actually ADD dictionary entries in the editor?

Hey guys, i've been gazing on the code for a bit long and i think i need an other eye on my current problem to solve it. Can't find a solution even tho i tried so much things. Here is the part of the code that i would want to simplify. Their must be a much simpler way to write that condition...

# 
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
   RotateCameraMouse();
}
else if((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) || (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow)) 
   || ((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow))) || ((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.DownArrow))))
{
   HandleKeyInput();
}

I tried playing around "Input.Anykey" like "Input.Anykey && !(Input.GetMouseButton(0)" to check if a key is pressed without the mouse being detect but dit oesn't work.. The code is working, but i want to make it simpler. It's ugly like that. And i do already have that condition with the Keycodes in the function "HandleKeyInput()". So that makes a double twin condition.

In your suggestion, you're using the editors parameters as going into the axis sections, imply to configure it if it isn't etc... I just wanna stick to raw code. I'm struggling to explain myself sorry.

#

I see what you're saying tho, and yeah it simplify the code.

lean sail

It is simply just silly

mild coyote
light cloud
#

huh

mild coyote
#

it's simple and it works

light cloud
#

Is doing a condition using GetAxis, and then using a condition later using GetKey, a bad behavior ? to make the the two of them exist in the same code ?

mild coyote
#

actually, yeah, if you mix it, it's bad

light cloud
#

Because with GetAxis i can't do my math later if the user is pressing Q, W, S,D right ?

mild coyote
#

No, GetAxis is configurable, GetKey not

main shuttle
#

Sure you can, GetAxis gives -1 to 1, depending on how far you push your key. GetAxisRaw only has -1, 0 and 1. Good for keyboards for example.

lean sail
main shuttle
#

Anyhow, I would just use the new input system and get a vector2 for the input, and use my whole logic on all controllers like that.

light cloud
#

Alright thanks i'll read once more what you all said and try the GetAxis in my code to see if it doesn't trigger some errors

#

I really thought their would be a more litteral way to code that tho. GetAxis doesn't tell anything when you read it tbh, but when you look at some code saying "Input.GetKey(A) && ! input.GetMouseButton(0)" i think it looks really easier to understand

#

Without being naive, of course

#

Maybe i'm just looking for some problems that doesn't exist at first lol

mild coyote
#

GetAxis and GetButtons are meant to be configurable. You can use GetKey and WSAD fine on QWERTY keyboards, until your player use AZERTY keyboard

light cloud
main shuttle
#

Also, is there a reason you don't use the new #🖱️┃input-system?
Because there you can just give your inputs your own names, it seems way more your style.

mild coyote
#

new input system is good, but it takes time to setup and learn

main shuttle
#

I agree, but he didn't learn the old way yet, I would just focus on the new one if I started out again.

light cloud
#

Since i'm just getting back on Unity, i didn't want to get lost and becoming unfocused on useless task such as configuring Axis, etc.. specially since i can already code it hard in the script.

main shuttle
#

Well good luck

light cloud
#

That's how we make us learned at school back then. But since the new input system is a lot used, i would need to comply to it

fiery sinew
#

and once you learn setting up is pretty fast too

light cloud
#

Is there a way to block / disable "GetMouseButton(0)" to prevent clicks in game ? Should i work around layers ?

#

(EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()) is not a solution in my case, neither CursorLockMode.Locked and Cursor.visible = false;

#

Oh wait can i do like InputSystem.DisableDevice(something) for mouse ?

#

Of course it does.. I need a break, sorry nvm about that silly question. Just tested

I'm not sure where to go for this one but I was wondering if anyone was familiar with some mesh generation in Unity. specifically I'm having an issue offsetting some verts by their normals:
At the moment I'm:
-Reading a ring of points from a Json
-"Extruding" them up,
-Generating the mesh + regenerating the normals from these points
-Offsetting the top verts inwards based on their normals

image.png image.png
#

For some reason they are skewing off course from what you'd think the normal direction was, I even exported the mesh to Blender to check the vert normals and they look correct, 45 degrees, pointing to center. But the verts arent moving in that direction

Here's a code snippet for the normal offset function

    {

        Vector3[] vertices = roofMesh.vertices;
        Vector3[] normals = roofMesh.normals;
        int topVertexStartIndex = vertices.Length / 2;

        for (int i = topVertexStartIndex; i < vertices.Length; i++)
        {
            vertices[i] -= normals[i];
        }

        roofMesh.vertices = vertices; // Update the mesh with the new vertices
        roofMesh.RecalculateNormals(); // Recalculate normals if needed
    }```
leaden ice
dusk apex
#

I'm assuming that without the offset, everything is as expected

sour gull
# dusk apex Are you intending to offset only the greater half of the vertices? Index `vertic...

Yeah at this point everythings working as expected, its just the offset that goes bad
yeah, just the top half of the mesh, those were the ones the code "extruded" The entire scripts a bit long atm. Ill try condense it down a bit soon.

Im also trying another method not relying on normals at the moment, getting the bisect of the corners and using that instead, before the mesh generation

dusk apex
#

If you do not have a lot of vertices, you can attempt to log the data:cs Debug.Log($"Index: {i}, Vertex: {vertices[i]}, Normal: {normals[i]}, Result: {vertices[i] - normals[i]}");

#

Should be done prior to subtraction.

leaden ice
#

You're using the normals from the upper half

sour gull
#

Ill post results in a sec

#

I dont even think the logic is techincally correct in this test, but I think you hit the nail on the head? I assumed it was just the normal of the single vert I needed but I guess its the edge normal?. Thanks
````private static void ApplySlopeToRoof(ref Mesh roofMesh, float slope)
{

    Vector3[] vertices = roofMesh.vertices;
    Vector3[] normals = roofMesh.normals;
    int topVertexStartIndex = vertices.Length / 2;

    for (int i = topVertexStartIndex; i < vertices.Length; i++)
    {
        vertices[i] -= normals[i] + normals[i - vertices.Length / 2]; - Add top and bottom normals together
    }

    roofMesh.vertices = vertices;
    roofMesh.RecalculateNormals();
}```

how can i exclude the Editor folder from my builds ?

okay ty i'll try rn

leaden ice
#

No

round violet
#

oh wait

leaden ice
#

If you already have an editor folder just move it out of this folder

round violet

i dont, but will this mess up the references ?

#

But I bet you it's not that folder that's the problem

leaden ice
round violet

Actually since you have an assembly definition you should be moving all of that stuffs into a separate assembly that is targeted at the editor only

round violet

ill try

#

so now that I created a AD in the Editor folder, can I use a "check" in the main AD to decide to reference or not the editor AD ?

I have a general question for scripts. If I now have several functions for my player, for example movement, inventory system, head bobbing and camera movement. Is it smarter to have multiple scripts for each function or just one script that contains everything?

rigid island

# rigid island separate

So it could be that I end up with around 10 different scripts on my player. Depending on how many functions I have?

so yes you would have more scripts in quantity but in quality you dont have to scan through a whole class to find 3 different things

this is my fps character controller code and it works fine, but i want to add speed reduction in every direction except forward. i tried multiplying transform.right with a value but it didn't work as expected (only reduced sideway speed while simultaneusly walking forward. when i only walked sideways it didn't have the effect). i think its mainly .normalized issue but i cannot think of a solution because without it character moves faster diagonally.

I think the solution you have is fine as it, and maybe I'm just not getting exactly what you're trying to do... but

float forwardSpeed = 1.0f;   // 100% speed
float sidewaysSpeed = 0.5f;  // 50% speed
float backwardSpeed = 0.2f;  // 20% speed

var moveVector = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));

// Apply speed multipliers
moveVector.y *= (moveVector.y > 0) ? forwardSpeed : backwardSpeed;
moveVector.x *= sidewaysSpeed;

// moveVector is adjusted, so use it
// transfrom.position += new Vector2(moveVector.x, 0, moveVector.y) * moveSpeed; or watherever

Hi I can use EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject() but how do I know which GameObject that is?!

I have a question about Rigidbody or Character Controller. I can't decide which component to use for my player. On the one hand I want to be able to go up stairs and slopes and on the other hand I want the objects to be able to interact with the player. What would you recommend more?

vagrant blade
#

Both can go up stairs and slopes and both can have objects interact with the player. But both take work to get either to work the way you might want.

If you want to use Unity physics go with rigidbody. If you want to have absolute control over your physics, go with CC.

Hi there, i got an item and an inventory script, adding the item and dropping it is easy, however, how does one go about placing it into players hand and then using it? Right now the second i pull it into the hand it goes right back into inventory, i was considering just instantiating the model into players hand but then the problem is that there is no item script attached to it

I guess i could make a separate prefab for item in the hand, but would that be a good solution?

i’m trying to refactor a tile drawing function, and want some advice. DrawTile currently draws a set of tiles to tilemap, AND also logs what was there before etc to an Undo/Redo history. I want to now split this up into 2 methods: one that draws tile without undo log, and one that does.
I basically want to make a PlayModeLevelEdit class that has no knowledge of any build history, and EditorModeLevelEdit that does a bunch of stuff during each step.

#

My problem is that logging to build history requires: 1) reference to the history, 2) logging multiple things in the middle of the function (that take additional time to go search and do)

#

I want to be able to split this without doubling up my code, to avoid repetition, followed by trying to update two methods if I need to make edits.
Any suggestions?

delicate flax
#

sounds like a job for events maybe? if the question is about how to decouple the code, it sounds like a natural thing for the type of problem you're describing

#

so EditorModeLevelEdit could subscrible to a TilePlacedEvent emitted by the PlayModeLevelEdit

hard viper
#

i’m tryig to split it up

hard viper
#

which is dumb af

#

because the function should not have this different behaviour based on the state of a totally different object from the class it is in, and not in an argument

#

the challenge is doing intermediate steps to go make new lists and allocate a bunch of data to save the previous state. it’s just a bunch of random work that the PlayMode function does not need to do

#

DrawTile(inputs) {
do some common first steps
call a method with a similarly different behaviour for edit vs play mode

if (editor mode) {
do some work and store it to a variable}

do common work
if (editor mode) {invoke events on that variable}
}

#

I know what I did is dumb af. I didn’t know better. I’m atoning for my sins now.

all 10 of them have a script where, on that frame, each one makes 10 more

so you're spawning, its running Start, rinse and repeat

ahhhh okay

rigid island
#

have something else spawn them

i might even put in an assertion that the prefab does not contain that script

#

Debug.Assert(prefab.GetComponent<FallingBehaviour>() == null, “Can’t spawn the prefab if it has the behaviour that makes it spawn more.”);

you could add a flag on the original for isBase and the spawning will only execute if isBase=true

or just you know not have the script on it in the first place and not worry about this stuff..

I'm using the new Input system. Should I reference from InputManager script to PlayerMovement script or the opposite (referencing from PlayerMovement to InputManager)?

hard viper
#

InputManager?

tender patio
hard viper
#

my player movment specifically subscribes its own methods to my PlayerInput component input actions

#

i think that is how I hooked it up

#

subscribes OnEnable, unsubscribes OnDisable

#

that is the standard workflow afaik

tender patio
#

I guess I'll reference PlayerMovement from the InputManager script

#

Thank you for helping @hard viper

hard viper
#

the other way around

#

PlayerMovement gets a reference to the instance that is invoking messages on input, and subscribes to delegates

#

any input related classes should have no knowledge of what depends on them

tender patio
hard viper
#

is player movmenet not a monobehaviour

tender patio
#

it is

hard viper
#

then.. why are you doing this?

tender patio
#

Doing what

hard viper
#

why does input manager tell player movement what its values should be

#

that is backwards

#

playermovement.x should not even be exposed for public set

tender patio
#

So I should do:
y = inputManager.onFoot.Walk.ReadValue<Vector2>().y;

#

in player movement

hard viper
#

yes

tender patio
#

Ahh I get it

hard viper
#

but why not just get a reference to PlayerInput

I want to keep the input logic and the movement seperate. Like doing OnEnable or OnDisable is in another script (InputManager)

hard viper
#

then input manager should solely expose public getters

#

public getters for processed data, and it needs to have a super high execution order

#

and it should be a singleton

#

and should not be on your player character at all

tender patio
#

So should I make a singleton InputManager?

hard viper
#

if that’s how you want to do this system. which would only serve to pre-process some inputs

#

you will probably not save a lot of time on this tbh, unless your plan is to preprocess controller input or something, and then have multiple different scripts read the input which follows that common post processing

tender patio
#

pre-process?

hard viper
#

like if you want to take control stick input, and force it to be along a couple of specific angles

tender patio
#

Oh

#

Got it

hard viper
#

playermovement still needs access to your PlayerInput component, btw. It would need to subscribe/unsubscribe for things like a jump button

#

it might even be simpler to make InputManager a static class, that just applies a common set of preprocessing to input.

tender patio
#

Why not handle subscribing in the InputManager

hard viper
#

InputManager would just subscribe to PlayerInput, and then make a custom function that invokes a delegate, just so that PlayerMovement can subscribe to that delegate, with its own custom function with the same input

#

it depends on how you will branch out tbh

#

singleton InputManager makes sense when you want to centralize and parse events coming from InputSystem into some different sort of format

tender patio
#

Alright

#

Thank you so much

Hi, I have some problems with input, using the old input system, I'm trying to detect fast touches, if I use my keyboard it's detecting fine, but when I move to Touch input, it look like it's missing touches, same thing is happening with IPointerDownHandler, any idea why?

#

I made a counter and it look like i can't register more than 3 touches per seconds, why is that??

Me looking at my room generation code knowing damn well i'm going to rewrite it again:

pliant spade
#

@rancid moon oh, it look like it's registering touches as tapCount

#

If I go slowly it remain at 1, but faster it ramp up the counter

#

Is there a way to register every tap as a touch? because 3 tap per seconds is slow...

hello i have a very weird issue that i asked multiple people already.
I basically copied out from this link https://pastebin.com/RXZ1dXgw
a code for a first person camera.

I think in every other computer it works fine but in my scene or computer, the character just walks forward and left continously, there are colliders for the ground, i reset the positions and all, but it keeps doing it, anyone can help me out?

#

what would be the best method of approach if I wanted to code enemy characters that have the ability to wallrun? would this use navmesh or would I have to code it via my own methods / potentially class extensions? after searching online the only tutorials is to make the Ai characters walk on the walls, but not run alongside them

#

I'm assuming one method of implementation I could do is to basically copy and re-use my pre-existing wall running script for my player but modify it so that it works for a navmesh agent?

#

or some bs where I toggle off their navmesh agent when on the walls, and then re-enable once they get grounded

knotty sun
#

wall running using navmesh agent is totally doable

untold siren
rigid island
#

just bake the surface of the wall? add a navmesh link?

untold siren
#

would that not cause the navmesh to be walking on the wall, as in they'd be rotated 90 degrees?

#

instead of like moving alongside

knotty sun
rigid island
#

thats just visuals though

untold siren
untold siren
knotty sun
untold siren
#

gotcha

rigid island
#

navmesh surface can bake any direction, you just need to give it a navmesh link and it goes right on it

#

no need to manually code rotation aside from visuals

untold siren
#

mmm the good old method of "if it looks fine it works fine" ;)

knotty sun
#

basically, yes

untold siren
#

makes sense to me

#

cheers guys

#

originally the obstacle was the enemy walking rotated but if it can just be rotated than that's an easy maneuvre to do

knotty sun
#

you've gotta watch your link transitions because they can be a bit messy but apart from that it's plain sailing

Hey all. I seem to be unable to launch an object in the direction i want. I have a cannon, which has as a child a rotation anchor point ( i want the red arrow from this one). That anchor point also has a child barrel transform where my projectile is instantiated. Now from my cannon script i instantiate my enemy, which i rotate at identity. I then try to apply a force to it in the direction of my anchor points right (red arrow). However, it always shoots up. Anyone thats able to help?

heady iris
#

I would not use AddRelativeForce here. That adds the force from the perspective of the rigidbody

#

You already have a world-space direction here -- rotationAnchorPoint.right. Just use that.

lavish frigate
#

AddForce doesnt change it

#

im using that

heady iris
#

Make sure that rotationAnchorPoint is assigned correctly

#

and that you have the scene view in local, not world, mode when checking which direction its red arrow is pointing

lavish frigate
#

It is, because when i print the .right, it shows me correct values

#

this is my hierarchy

#

the script is on cannon, and i am using the selected objects transform

#

for the .right thing

lavish frigate
#

thank you

heady iris
#

np (:

lavish frigate
#

any tips on how to convert the .right of the local rotation to a world vector?

late lion
#

transform.right and up and forward are always in world space.

random oak
lavish frigate
#

Okay so apparantly my problem lies elsewhere. Printing transform.right gives me the correct value, however applying my force does not shoot my projectile in the right direction

heady iris
#

Check how the game behaves if you replace right with up

#

If the projectile changes direction by anything other than 90 degrees, something's wrong with how it's shooting

#

(maybe it's hitting a collider)

lavish frigate
#

it shoots in the same direction

#

straight up

#

right so it's a value from 0 to 1. knowing that 1 is the maximum value, how could it ever be greater than 1

rancid jolt
somber nacelle
#

then take a look at your GetNormalizedTime method

rancid jolt
somber nacelle
#

look at those first two lines very closely

#

your two conditions are identical too

rancid jolt
somber nacelle
#

now you can use breakpoints or logs to determine whether your objects are in the state you expect them to be

rancid jolt
somber nacelle
#

how have you verified that

rancid jolt
#

The normalizedTime is 0 throughout which is strange

okay now debug the objects in your GetNormalizedTime method like i suggested

On top of what Uri said, it would be awkward for them to continue on PlayerPrefs in the same manner. You ask about bool and color, but what about Vector, Quaternion, and every other single "primitive" value that will exist in the future? What about custom classes that you declare?
You'll end up with too many methods for a shittier save system. Meanwhile the existing json methods can just directly save everything you need already

Hi! I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on how to approach that kind of system:
Let's say I have a scene, that can be visited by the player during the game at different (unknown) times. There's a quest system, and the player might visit the scene at any given point in time and could have any quest currently active. Now I would need some interactions in my scene (or objects/characters/etc....) to change state, depending on the current state of the game like the current quest or time of the day etc...

The solution here is definitely something along the lines of visual scripting because I don't want this data to be hardcoded, but is there another way? How is this kind of multi-state scene stuff typically done?

What I have tried so far:

  • Having a scene with "layers", which are additive scenes loaded on top of the base scene, and each layer contains a set of interaction that are loaded according the the current quest. That didn't scale very well IMO
  • Having multiple interactions, each with a VisualScripting ScriptMachine disabling and enabling it. It's the current thing I'm using but I can see already that it's hardly going to scale well, but it's flexible at least

I was thinking something like a graph that can handle a list of conditions, and return a value to enable/disable an object?

honest saddle
latent latch
#

rather, can't serialize the delegate so probably some struct of information which points to said delegate

fringe silo
#

So each SO would have a list of a condition (state could be quest/time/whatever the player has done before etc...) mapped to a delegate?

stuff like time can be referenced from a singleton

Hey gamers,

I have this function that makes one object rotate around another which I call in update

        private void RotateAroundObject()
    {
        player.transform.RotateAround(transform.position, Vector3.back, orbitSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        Vector3 dir = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
        player.transform.position = transform.position + dir * radius;
    }

The issue is I want my object to be able to move away from it, which I'm doing by an addForce, but the issue here is that using the transform functions will override any other movement every frame.
Any suggestions on how I can get my orbiting rocket to blast away and still have my self correcting orbit?

# fringe silo Ok that would make sense, taking this stuff out of the scene and into SOs is nic...

    { TriggerConditionFlags.ChanceToTrigger, () => { return ChanceToTriggerCondition(); } },
    { TriggerConditionFlags.WhileUnderStatusEffect, () => { return WhileUnderStatusEffectCondition(); } },
 };

Some snippet of something I've worked on. Basically this worked off the character for checking for effects for abilities and items, but you can very much make a struct of info too to pass into these conditional checks.

is there a way I can use System.Func but not require a variable? What Im trying to do is create a function and assign it like an event. Such as

                Agent.FollowTarget((Chase_CurrentTarget));
                return BehaviorTree.ENodeStatus.InProgress;

            });```
However I don't want the bools I just want the ability to assign a bunch of commands to an event. What I'm trying to do is create a function that passes through a specific variable and events wont allow me to do this

hey guys, i'm making an interaction system between player and object.
i would like to make it as good as possible.
any feedback or opinions?

image.png
#

any interactable object will inherit from this class, and will override "interact"

#

the player will know what is the interaction key by calling the static function "getInteractionKey"

#

to interact with the object he will "tryToInteract"

latent latch
#

Well, here's a question to ask yourself. If you wanted to make an interactable box, and a non-interactable box, how would you design that with your idea?

chrome mural
latent latch
#

Yep

chrome mural
#

well the non interactable i would leave it as it is

#

for the interactable i would do this:
new class, child of "Interaction"
override method "interact" with its behaviour
tweak "delay_between_interactions", done.

latent latch
#

Right, but what layer contains the information for the box mesh, collider, textures, ect

chrome mural
#

oh you mean player-side?

#

shooting the ray?

#

i don't get what you're saying...

latent latch
#

This itself would be on the item, correct.

#

Or, the interactable object

chrome mural
#

yup

latent latch
#

So here's the problem: if this is the root abstract layer then where are you having the information for the object's mesh and collider information

#

because what it seems like you want to do is have that as the derived class

crude mortar
jagged snow
#

going to try it

latent latch
#

so you're effectively making two of these object classes such that
Interaction -> ObjectClass#1
ObjectClass#2

jagged snow
#

this is exactly what i needed it works thanks!

chrome mural
#

ok but whats the problem

#

be specific sorry i'm stupid

latent latch
#

Ah, ok yeah I'm overthinking where you were going with this, but ideally you treat it as a component on your object class such that you'd have declared an Interaction component

#

You treat it like composition, if it's set then it's interactable, otherwise ignore it

#

sounds fine

#

In this case you do have it as a monobehaviour, so you can just check if the Gameobject has the component which is fine too

chrome mural
latent latch
#

If you want to do it the GetComponent way, when your character presses "E", overlap/cast in the area. If it finds a GameObject with a Interaction script on it then Interact();

chrome mural
latent latch
#

Interfaces, but ignore that since this is fine too

chrome mural
#

i might want to study that... thank you man

latent latch
#

What you're doing is fine, I'm just making sure what you were overriding to

making the namespace only for UNITY_EDITOR makes all attributes error

Sup, i got an odd issue here.

We have a few GameObjects w scripts on them that have [SerializeField] variables in them. The value of these was set to be other GameObjects in the same scene. This works so far.

When the player loses, the scene reloads using the following code:

SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);

The issue is, when this happens, the serialzed references to other gameobjects in the scene seem to be lost

#

What's the proper way to handle this?

cosmic rain
latent latch
short osprey
#

Yes, and most behave as i expect, except the causing the issue:

the sedcond time the referenced thing should act, it throws a MissingReferenceException

#

this is the script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using System;
public class ResultsScreenBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject screen;
    [SerializeField] private float freezeTimeSeconds;
    [SerializeField] private UnityEngine.UI.Text bonusTimeTxt;
    [SerializeField] private UnityEngine.UI.Text finalTimeTxt;
    [SerializeField] private UnityEngine.UI.Text finalScoreTxt;
    [SerializeField] private GameTimerBehaviour timer;

    public void Start()
    {
        PlayerHitBehaviour.OnPlayerDeath += (int bonusScore, int finalScore)=>{
        Debug.Log("End screen");
        screen.SetActive(true);
        bonusTimeTxt.text = $"Bonus survived: {bonusScore}";
        finalTimeTxt.text = $"Time survived: {timer.TimeSinceStart}s";
        finalScoreTxt.text = $"Total score: {finalScore}pts";
        StartCoroutine(FreezeScreenAndReload());
        };
    }

    private IEnumerator FreezeScreenAndReload()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 0;
        yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(freezeTimeSeconds);
        Time.timeScale = 1;
        screen.SetActive(false);
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
    }
}

the issue is "screen.SetActive(true)". screen is just an image

knotty sun
#

The problem is likely to be PlayerHitBehaviour.OnPlayerDeath is persistent across scenes so the original is still being executed causing the missing reference

short osprey
knotty sun
#

I'm talking about the event you subscribe to

short osprey
#

The event itself is static but the method subscribed to it isnt

knotty sun
#

doesn't matter, if you dont unsubscribe, which you cannot do, the lambda is still there

#

just dont use an anonymous method, then unsubscribe in OnDestroy

short osprey
#

lemme try

rancid moon
#

@short osprey your static event still holds a reference to the anonymous method (lambda). So when you reload, it calls your code from Start 2 times (on the destroyed object, which gives you an exception, as it no longer exists, and on a new one). Unsubscribe from it in OnDestroy and you'll be fine
That is one of the reasons why you should be really careful with your static code, as it persists throughout your application

knotty sun
#

and also why anonymous methods are a really bad thing to use

short osprey
#

that makes sense actually. Tysm

#

my mind is blown how logical it is lol

knotty sun
#

like everything else, it's simple when you know

short osprey
knotty sun
#

yeah, JS does not translate well to a C# environment

short osprey
#

i'm ddecent at both i think. i just got pushed into this way of thinking so much

knotty sun
#

Hopefully, lesson learned, for the sake of not writing a proper method signature you caused yourself a lot of grief

chilly surge
#

Their issue was more so forgetting to unsubscribe than method vs lambda.

knotty sun
#

except you cannot unsubscribe an anonymous method

chilly surge
#

You can, if you keep a reference to it.

#

This is not to say I would suggest using lambda in this case, method is absolutely the right call here, but I'm just pointing out that's not the core issue.

knotty sun

the core issue was the OP did not realize he had to unsubscribe

Hi is anyone familiar with Unity audio coding? I cant seem to get mine work. I can play the attack sound and running sound effect. The attack sound effect is based on a ontriggerenter2d but running and swoosh sound effect is based on button click. However i cant seem to get the swoosh sound effect to work

If I have a instance of a class that is not a monobehavior is there any way to destroy that instance without external reference to it? Similar to how you destroy a gameobjector remove a component?

# unborn elm yes

as caesar said, thats done automatically by the garbage collector once all references of that class are gone

#

to test this you can add a destructor to your class and add a debug.log there

#

we can add destructors?

vapid condor

in pure C# classes of course

Hello. I have a problem. When assembling bundles in Addressable, the RAM overflows and the assembly is not assembled. How can this be fixed? In one place I read: "I solved that by creating binary files containing all label data for each tile and added the binary file as TextAsset to the prefab, reducing the file size of all prefabs to 280 MB. So the build process worked again.". But I don't know how to do this. Please, Help me.

I'm not sure how to debug on mac since I'm developing on Windows. But thanks anyway.

rigid island

hard viper
#

virtual machines require you to split your CPU cores between machines

#

and i’m not sure how you can test on mac without a mac, since apple is very protective of their OS

#

even with a virtual machine

knotty sun
#

Also you cannot run a MacOS VM on Windows, you need Linux for that

hard viper
#

you can easily run a windows VM on mac, but the reverse is not true. Not without some extremely hacky and difficult workarounds

#

it’s called Hackintosh, and it is a huge amount of effort to get, set up, and maintain

knotty sun
#

Still wont work under Windows, does on Linux though

hard viper
#

it’s honestly easier to get a mac, or test with a friend with a mac

strange lotus
# knotty sun You are writing MacOS specific code without having access to a Mac? WTF

hah, no I have a mac mini M2. I can install Unity and copy the project there. I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary and I could debug somehow from windows. I expressed myself incorrectly there, I meant not sure how to debug for mac from Windows. Everything else runs alright and I can of course debug stuff on windows that will run on mac, except it seems, changing wallpaper.

knotty sun
heady iris
#

when say "debug for mac", do you mean attaching a debugger to a running program?

hard viper
#

he means trying to make a mac version, and make it work

#

i’m not exactly sure how much difference there is in terms of unity

knotty sun
#

he's using OS specific stuff, so in this case, a great deal

hard viper
#

part of why mac is safer is that a lot of that shit is closed off. it might be like an open door in windows, but much harder on mac

#

i have no idea if you can even force the OS to change wallpaper

knotty sun
#

MacOS won't let you do it, Windows just fails to do it, Linux just does it.

strange lotus
#

Mac ask user for permission

#

yeah, I was thinking mac OS would just tell you to GFY

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start does at least work on macOS

of course it does, you've just got to be very careful what you pass into it

@strange lotus But I don't think you can run apple script like that without shell execute.

steep drift
#

TBH it's been some years since I've done integration work like that, but it feels like that was something I came across.

heady iris
#

apple script is weirdly english-looking

steep drift
#

Yea it can be a bit jarring when you're used to a C-like language.

#

But you can get some really nice integration going with it. I've definitely missed it on other systems where you might get some CLI integration offered by apps, but comparatively not super standardized and often not really covering all aspects of the app - IE the CLI is offered for a specific use case which only needs a subset of available access.

Is there any reliable way to profile app closing? We do have a problem with the long execution of Application.Quit() call on Windows.
We tried attaching a profiler to the build, but it shows that the game is closed in ~50ms (calls of OnDestroy, unloading assets, etc.). While in reality, it can take up to 40 seconds! And we see no way to check what's going on!
I'll share the details in a thread. Any help is appreciated.

I have a general question. I'm using an asset called "MegaFiers 2" on a mesh. It's a mesh deformation asset.
Supposedly, when it deforms the mesh, it creates a "new mesh instance".
I need to somehow target that "new mesh instance" because I want to have a script that interacts with it. But I literally don't know how to find it in Unity and therefore I have no idea how to target it! For instance, if I go into Play Mode and click on the mesh after it's been deformed by MegaFiers, it's not like the MeshFilter says the word "(Instance)" by it or anything. So I'm just confused how to find the Instance in my unity project so that I can begin trying to target it with scripts etc?

heady iris
#

the name can be whatever MegaFiers 2 wants it to be

tight ice

I would not expect the hierarchy to change either.

#

I would expect the Mesh Filter to have its mesh reference swapped out for a newly constructed mesh

So they preserve the original mesh name

The mesh you want is in the mesh filter like I said, unless instancing is involved but I doubt it

Do you need to compute the value once, or each time it's being accessed?

once

So like you create an instance of the scriptable object in your project files, and it chooses the random number automatically?

if you instantiated Iron here to be a value here of say 10 would that work?

Why not just choose a number at random yourself and input it manually, if it won't change

#

If they're constant values, then that would cause the two non-center rays to not move when you rotate

teal delta
heady iris
#

okay, so they're constants

#

You will want to transform that vector into world space.

#

transform.TransformVector will do the trick.

#

To understand why, imagine holding your left arm out straight while rotating

#

From your point of view, your hand isn't moving. It's always at the same position relative to you

#

roughly Vector3.left

#

But from the world's point of view, your left hand's position is constantly changing

#

If you're facing forward, it's to the left. If you're facing right, it's forward.

#

transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.left) converts a local-space vector pointing to the left into a world-space vector

#

transform.TransformVector(Vector3.left does the same, but also respects your scale (if you're scaled up, the result is a bigger vector)

#

Hence why I think that's the ideal choice here.

teal delta
#

holy smokes, that makes so much sense. Thank you so much!

#

and great explanation

heady iris
#

no prob (:

#

oh yeah, and the last one, transform.TransformPoint, also cares about your position

#

That's used to turn a local-space position into a world-space position

#

Here, you don't want that: you're just changing the direction and length of the vector

#

(and then there are Inverse methods to undo all three of those)

teal delta
#

like, whats the use case for that

heady iris
#

It's less common, but sometimes you need to go from world space to local space.

For example, I have an IK system that smoothly moves targets towards a goal in local space. I set goals in world-space, though. So I use transform.InverseTransformPoint to figure out a local position.

#

oftentimes, you can do something in either local space or world space. If I want to know how well-aligned my transform is with a direction, I could do...

# 
Vector3.Angle(transform.forward, direction);
Vector3.Angle(Vector3.forward, transform.InverseTransformDirection(direction));

(direction is a world-space vector)

#

either works

#

obviously, in this case, I'd just do the former

#

and yes, I could even do something really silly:

# 
Vector3.Angle(transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), direction);
Vector3.Angle(transform.InverseTransformDirection(transform.forward), transform.InverseTransformDirection(direction));
teal delta
#

holy

#

where did you learn all that vector stuff?

heady iris
#

Mostly just through experience. You get tired of having to randomly guess which space you're in after a while :p

#

Try reading the documentation for Transform and Vector3

which step does using assemblies help with for unity reloading times?

#

ie do assemblies help reduce time for "Reloading domain"

heady iris
#

I don't believe that's going to affect domain reloads specifically

#

because that's just resetting the scripting state

hard viper
#

my unity editor lags most on reloading and completing domains

#

how would I reduce that time?

heady iris
#

I'm not sure what "completing domain" means

#

that might be compiling

wicked scroll
heady iris
#

and yeah, I have Domain and Scene reload disabled

wicked scroll
#

highly recommended

heady iris
#

massive speedup to play mode times, as long as you pinky swear to be mindful of static fields

#

I have to make sure I clean up all static event listeners, for example

wicked scroll
#

alternately: avoid mutable static fields altogether and live a happy life

hard viper
#

I'm scared then that my static fields get not reset then

#

because I won't notice errors

#

things will work that should not work, and things that don't work will work

wicked scroll
heady iris
#

of course, you'll still get a reload after every compile

wicked scroll
#

otherwise you can go through yours and make em work, not a bad idea to ensure that anyway

heady iris
#

so I tend to notice the issues pretty quickly

#

It DOES make something in the new input system really mad

#

if I just change a single float without triggering a domain reload, unity hard-crashes when i enter play mode

hard viper
#

I'll try. My concern is some static fields being initiated to automatically reference a given SO in static constructor

heady iris
#

I think it's something with getting binding display strings

heady iris
#

the reference will just wind up living from play session to play session

hard viper
#

and singletons referencing an instance from a previous editor play session?

heady iris
#

that'll happen if you check for genuine null, not just destroyed-object null

#

I was struggling with that a few days ago

#

I'm going to give it a shot. wish me luck

transform Rotation-Vector3(10,10,0)
Vector 3: Vector3(10.0000038,10.0000048,-5.41840315e-08)

hard viper
#

I see where the issue is

#

static bools in my singleton to keep track of if the applicaion is quitting. obviously gets set true exactly once, when application is quitting

hard viper
wicked scroll
heady iris
#

I couldn't tell "the game is ending" from "the game is starting again"

hard viper
#

does this work on static classes?

#

I've been a good boy with static variables, but god damn. learning this late is hard

heady iris
#

Yes. In fact, it must target a static method

#

I had trouble because I wanted to use it on a generic static class, which you can't do

#

Oh right, you're doing that too

#

😄

hard viper
#

yeah, how do I make that work

heady iris
#

I would suggest having one source of truth for "the game is quitting"

#

everyone else can just read from that

#

it's not like you need each singleton instance to have its own notion of quitting-ness

hard viper
#

but then I can't make any generic classes with static fields

heady iris
#

Is this something you logged?

#

Ah, I see: you're confused by the slight numerical errors

#

that's just a byproduct of converting to a Quaternion and back to Euler angles

hard viper
#

I feel like there should just be a simple attribute to apply to a static field for Unity to go and reset it whenever you domain relaod

heady iris
#

well, that's the thing

#

you're skipping the domain reload

placid crypt
#

Hello, this may be a vague question. But pertaining to how the Unity engine defines its built in methods... when i use a method like Update or start, am i technically overriding the parent monobehavior class that my gameobject script inherits from? How are these members defined in c#?

heady iris
#

that's what makes entering play mode so fast!

#

I guess it would be nice if you could say "okay, reload this thing"

heady iris
#

Unity just directly checks if your component has a method named Update

#

it's reflection-based

wicked scroll
#

yep ^ in fact you can get notable performance by avoiding using Update() because of this

heady iris
#

You can absolutely make a virtual Update method and then override it in a child class (see the UI Selectable/Button/etc. classes)

wicked scroll
#

just calling your own update method

heady iris
hard viper
heady iris
#

I've actually done exactly that, but more-so to easily control execution order

wicked scroll
#

it's pretty old but still true as far as i know

hard viper
#

but in my case, I just need to reload a much smaller amount of stuff

wicked scroll
placid crypt
#

Im not particularly intersted in overriding, just in understanding how the engine defines these members. You say its through reflection, so theoretically i could create my own library that checks its members for a function of a given name and then calls them? What are the steps to implementing this kind of functionality? Thanks for the answers

wicked scroll
heady iris
wicked scroll
placid crypt
#

Thanks guys

hard viper
heady iris
#

I use a lot of static fields and have domain reload disabled

#

Almost all of them are references to Unity objects that I can tell are destroyed after quitting and playing again

wicked scroll
#

consistency is very powerful though

heady iris
#

The corner case I ran into was for singletons that construct themselves when an instance isn't available

placid crypt
#

Not to bite the hand that feeds but prakkus article specifically states that unity does not use System.Reflection

hard viper
#

that's the main case at issue

wicked scroll
#

why wouldn't it exist? write your code so that it exists

heady iris
#

No, Unity doesn't use System.Reflection to find a magic method every time it needs to call one.

#

It uses it once!

#

That's why I found it surprising that Update was relatively slow..

placid crypt
#

Ah i see thanks for clarifying

hard viper
#

I figured out how to do this

#

I just need to make a singleton that holds the information of if the application is quitting

#

but then this singleton needs to know if the application is quitting so I can GetInstance

#

so this singleton needs to reference another singleton

#

which then needs to know if the appllication is quitting

heady iris
#

who watches the watchers

hard viper
#

so I'll have it reference another singleton

heady iris
#

Eventually you just have a nice static boolean field

wicked scroll
#

i'm confused, isn't there a quitting event that unity throws? or are you doing something else?

heady iris
#

Yes, Application.quitting

hard viper
#

which calls a method

heady iris
#

You can subscribe to that in the static constructor of a class. That ought to subscribe exactly once

hard viper
#

which you need to store

heady iris
#

You can have it invoke a static method.

wicked scroll
#

or one in an instance of your...game lifecycle singleton or whatever

#

which your other things can subscribe to

hard viper
#

ok, but how does this one know if the application is quitting or not

wicked scroll
#

when the event is fired

#

that way you can prevent it if you want

hard viper
#

this invokes a delegate

wicked scroll
#

basically you use your singleton as a relay that subscribes to the app and broadcasts to the rest of your app

hard viper
#

and I need to change the behaviour of a GetInstance method based on if the application is currently quitting

wicked scroll
#

so that you can do all your quit stuff in one place? i'm not sure there's a big reason to do that versus just using the event in places you need it though

wicked scroll
hard viper
#

I already have

image.png
wicked scroll
#

can you make it so you don't need to do that?

hard viper
#

how do I know if the application is quitting

wicked scroll
#

you can also have anything subscribe to the global Application.quitting event

#

(or wantsToQuit)

hard viper
#

that does not solve the quandry of resetting it without domain reload

wicked scroll
#

no, it sounds to me like that quandry is unrelated and should be solved on its own

#

you shouldn't need to do much when your app quits other than maybe saving something to disk

heady iris
#

This is specifically about handling disabled Domain Reload correctly.

wicked scroll
#

let alone 'reset an instance' since that instance will no longer exist once the app has quit

placid crypt
#

New question. Given that there are now various UI systems as well as 2D and 3D objects, in terms of handling mouse and user input what is the appropriate way of detecting these interactions? Would it be the OnMouseOver and collider interactions, or something like GraphicRaycast? Im not exactly familiar with the exact terminology but just looking to poing myself in the right direction.

wicked scroll
#

yeah, this is editor stuff

just make sure you read quitting at least once before the game quits. that's the one caveat.

This is my DayCycle code

how can I do that?

heady iris
#

Check the lighting -> environment tab. Let me pull up a URP project...

hard viper
heady iris
#

It does it exactly once.

#

It will subscribe again after a domain reload.

#

but that wipes everything, because..it's a domain reload

#

The static constructor fires once

wicked scroll
#

hang on, aren't we trying not to do the domain reload?

timid depot
#

when I start game with night set and set time to 12:00 with code, its now dark

Yes, but you get a reload after recompiling

#

Normally, every time you enter Play Mode, Unity wipes scripting state. This is like closing and reopening a program.

#

Turning off "Domain Reload" stops that.

#

However, scripting state is still wiped after a recompile.

hard viper
#

so static constructor is only called whenever you first call a method since last domain reload?

timid depot
#

I mean changed time with variable

#

cool

#

And it's only called once in the lifespan of the application domain

#

A Domain Reload kills the domain and creates a new one.

#

(also, sweet, I was actually struggling with this a few days ago. now I know exactly how to deal with a problem I've been having.)

#

turning off "Domain Reload" means that entering play mode is no longer equivalent to quitting the game

timid depot
#

I dont see anywhere lighting tab

heady iris
#

(actually, it was already different, but it's even less equivalent now)

heady iris
#

or window -> rendering -> lighting

#

then in that window, go to Environment

timid depot
heady iris
#

If it's set to use the sun light, it ~should~ adjust ambient lighting to compensate

#

but try setting the intensity multiplier to 1 and seeing if the scene darkens properly

timid depot
#

yes

#

its getting dark

heady iris
#

You can control that value from a script. I don't recall exactly how.

timid depot
#

I've always had this problem with unity, every time I tried to make daynight cycle

#

ok Ill find way thanks a lot

heady iris
#

The HDRP handles it nicely, at least 😁

hard viper
#

I just don't know why my domain reload is so damn slow in the first place.

wicked scroll
#

that's maybe a good question
