[lost cedar]

cuz you'll also need a stencil shader

two stencil shaders actually

and rewrite the sprite-lit-default shader to accept the stencil

and then apply to it to all the tilemaps

so it's alot of work, but simple

[tawdry fractal]

I see

How would I go about this?

[timid dune]

So I have a bloom effect

that is present in the scene window

but in the game window it isn't

Scene window

game window

how do I make it so that it is in both?

[elfin sandal]

Mmm shot in the dark but they setting it to 16:9

Or enable post processing on your main cam

💁

[timid dune]

well im importing this into another game via unity

so I don't have access to that camera

like to change it

[elfin sandal]

🤷

[timid dune]

Do you know any other way other than post processing to make bloom?

[elfin sandal]

No

[modest cargo]

You can fake it with emissive / additive sprites or particles, but it won't be "bloom"

[timid dune]

is there any tutorial on how to do that?

[wind hedge]

I have 2 pngs with the same resolutions and I want the second png to be sliced the same way in Sprite Editor as the first one, copying the position coordinates(and size) on every slice would be too much time consuming. Is there a fast way to do this

waits

[modest cargo]

I don't think you can, unless you figure out how to modify sprite metadata with a script directly to copy the slicing information from another sprite
However, usually when working with sprite sheets it's good practice to always use specific sprite dimensions, so you can just slice by sprite count / size

[wind hedge]

oh

well my sizes/positions are "proportionized" badly

[solemn latch]

Duplicate the first Sprite inside unity, then outside of unity overwrite the Sprite file with the second.

That will give you the second Sprite wuth the metadata if the first one

can anyone help me with this prob plz i can't see my editor workspace icons

[still tendon]

I set up a new 2D project and add a player sprite to scene. All good until I add tiles to a tilemap. Then my player object becomes unresponsive for some reason and can't be clicked on within scene. Is this a bug that was never fixed?

Deleting the Grid and Tilemap make the player sprite clickable again within the scene. Flaky!

[rain plaza]

Just in the scene view?

[still tendon]

Yes. I can still select player in hierarchy, but nothing is highlighted in scene.

[rain plaza]

You can press the finger icon in the heirarchy to make objects unselectable in the scene view

[still tendon]

Ok. I have the opposite problem, I am unable to select the object (or move it)

[rain plaza]

Oh it's not that you select the tilemap instead?

[still tendon]

That could be what is happening. It is like the player object isn't there

[rain plaza]

Just checking but what is highlighted in this menu?

[still tendon]

There was nothing highlighted, when I highlighted the "four arrows" next to the hand, I can move player object using green and red arrows. Is this how it is supposed to work? No more drag and drop style moves?

[rain plaza]

For drag style moves you can click on the small square between the arrows if I recall correctly

Did highlighting the four arrow icon solve the selection problem?

[still tendon]

Yeah I noticed that. As you can see this is my first project. Thanks for your help anyway, I think you have confirmed that the problem is me, not Unity!

[frail halo]

Is there ANY way to access variables on scriptable tiles via code?

[cerulean condor]

oh...

[light relic]

is OpenToonz a good program to make non-pixelart 2D assets?

[solemn latch]

I've heard good things about it but haven't used it myself.

Probably depends a lot on the sort of assets(and style) you want to produce.

[slender trellis]

Anyone got any good examples of normal maps on pixel art? I am messing around and wondering if they'll look good or are even worth making

[cerulean condor]

[cerulean condor]

i'm trying to wrap my head on making sprite sort points with sorting group, has anyone gotten a good solution to making the sorting point between two sprite groups placed at a custom location?

[cerulean condor]

i guess to specify my problem

i want the sprite groups to sort bottom center but it appears to sort by regular center, is there some way of having bottom center sorting for sprite groups?

[cerulean condor]

why none of y'all tell me about this?

[cerulean condor]

sorry to ping you but i found the solution

[sly shore]

hey does anyone know the best free software for creating 2D sprites

[solemn latch]

Oh, I guess they added that later; I haven't updated my 2d animation past 5.x because of other changes.

[solemn latch]

Though if Ted Wikman takes my feedback to heart maybe that will change...

[solemn latch]

Depends on the sort of sprites, and your tolerance for compiling...

[sly shore]

Just a simple 2d sprite for a 2d tile game

[solemn latch]

Probably can't go wrong with Gimp then, though it is largely a matter of taste.

[cerulean condor]

maybe? but i guess when

[neon matrix]

so i have the following image

i want to slice it without the top black & white part

is it possible?

[solemn latch]

Just slice it and don't use the top bits?

[pure vault]

what program can you use to create something like this?

[neon matrix]

idk, it makes me kind of uncomfortable with all the extraneous stuff it produces

[modest cargo]

Slice and delete the top slices? Or don't have the parts on the texture at all

[neon matrix]

how would i delete the top slices?

[modest cargo]

Click to select them and hit delete in sprite editor

[neon matrix]

oh wow

it works

tysm!

[dreamy turret]

i'm trying to use the line renderer, and have it be thicker in the middle and thinner at the ends, but for some reason only the end values are changing?

the whole line is a linear size

loop kinda fixes it, but it causes it to render weirdly

[hollow crown]

If you didn't figure it out, you need to add more subdivisions to the line

[neon matrix]

how do i make a prefab brush?

i don't see it anywhere in the menu

can i have a screenshot or smth

[outer owl]

im begginer what i do to put the house with the green in the background?

[abstract olive]

Use another tilemap above the ground and put the house on that instead.

now thats the problem

[dreamy turret]

how do i do that?

[neon matrix]

is this supposed to happen?

[modest cargo]

I think this bug was fixed in 2021.3.5

[neon matrix]

lol

[hollow crown]

Add more points to the line in the inspector or via code

[neon matrix]

why can't i change the size of the list here?

(this is in the tile palette)

[jovial sail]

it happens in fresh unity installs right now

friend downloaded unity yesterday and has that. Any idea how to get that patch?

[modest cargo]

Unity Hub should recommend the newest LTS editor it in the installs section
What versions are you using?

[jovial sail]

hub 3.1.2
unity 2021.3.4f1

That last number seems to be an issue

but why would a fresh install of unity not be the most up to date?

[modest cargo]

You can install any version of unity "fresh", I suppose
Though the Hub should recommend the newest LTS editor

[jovial sail]

it doesn't for me

[abstract olive]

@jovial sail Click the Install Editor button

What you're looking at is the current version you have installed

Hello I have a question about unity 2d endless runner platform spawning... I made most of this things from a youtube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtY_R0g8L8E&t=684s)
When I start the game all of the platforms are spawning correctly but only a certain amount and they don't spawn when I get to the end of another platform ... It looks like just at the beginning of the script platforms are being spawned ): I tried all things I believe that could be the reason but NOTHING worked
Anyone know how to fix that?

CODE:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class TESTGAMEMANAGER : MonoBehaviour
{
    private const float PLAYER_DISTANCE_SPAWN_LEVEL_PART = 50f;

    [SerializeField] private Transform levelPart_Start;
    [SerializeField] private List<Transform> levelPartList;
    [SerializeField] private PlayerScript player;

    private Vector3 lastEndPosition;

    private void Awake()
    {
        lastEndPosition = levelPart_Start.Find("EndPoint").position;

        int startingSpawnLevelParts = 5;
        for (int i = 0; i < startingSpawnLevelParts; i++)
        {
            SpawnLevelPart();
        }
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position(), lastEndPosition) < PLAYER_DISTANCE_SPAWN_LEVEL_PART)
        {
            // Spawn another level part
            SpawnLevelPart();
        }
    }

    private void SpawnLevelPart()
    {
        Transform chosenLevelPart = levelPartList[Random.Range(0, levelPartList.Count)];
        Transform lastLevelPartTransform = SpawnLevelPart(chosenLevelPart, lastEndPosition);
        lastEndPosition = lastLevelPartTransform.Find("EndPoint").position;
    }

    private Transform SpawnLevelPart(Transform levelPart, Vector3 spawnPosition)

Hey guys, I imported various images, and it seems to create 2 assets for each; a texture + sprite.
I want to create an atlas from a bunch of them, and I seem to be able to select both.

Which one should I choose and why?

[elfin sandal]

Each sprite would need a displacent map

Then youd need a shader to tessalate and protrude vertices within the displacement range

[still tendon]

I asked many people on unity forum and send them many queries but no one answered. I also faced the unity support team via email. Even the technical service couldn’t help me through my errors listed up below. Hopefully one of you can help me out.

[abstract olive]

[still tendon]

So sry. No i have a Screenshot

[modest cargo]

It's always helpful to describe what you were trying to do when you encountered the error, though it does look like you were trying to make a build for android
In your position I'd google the errors and try the suggested fixes
Another thing is to make test builds with a new empty project or a different computer entirely, to eliminate unknown variables

[still tendon]

Thank you. I was trying to Fix the bugs with YouTube Bit it didnt work. Yes right for android.

[radiant cedar]

anyone?

[still tendon]

There is also written that i implemented two same plugins in the main folder.

But i dont know to delete on. Imac

[low sand]

Not sure if i understand the question right but if you need to choose between using your images as textures or sprites, I would say sprites because you want to make an atlas.
The reason (I think, I didn't research this) is that textures are supposed to be applied to a 3d object, while sprites are made to simply be a flat surface somewhere in your 2d or 3d space

[radiant cedar]

@low sand
1st screenshot:
The red is a texture.
The blue is a sprite.

2nd screenshot: I can choose either one when adding to an atlas

but I guess your answer still applies. Thanks!

[low sand]

I didn't realize the red item was a texture and the blue one was a sprite. 🤔 I may have said something wrong before.
From my own experience the red item contains the blue one. For example, you can have a spritesheet file which you divide into the individual sprites. If you do that you will have the red item being the full spritesheet and it will contain all of the individual sprites in place of the blue one. I would think that means the spritesheet is considered a texture in that way

And sadly I don't know what's going on in the second screenshot 😅

Sorry

[radiant cedar]

the red item does seem to contain the blue one, sort of. I mean they're together, but I didn't create them - it happens automatically when I dragged a .png from a directory to unity.

2nd screenshot is just the sprite atlas property for selecting the objects

Hello,
How is everyone?

I need your help for a 2D game.
What I want to is when I resize the game window, the game to fit in a 16:9 ratio in a way that the entire content is always visible.

Possible lead to a solution:
I have managed to achieve this for the menu by fitting it all inside a Canvas with a "Canvas Scaler" component.

Question:
Is the best possible solution to try to fit all the game sprites inside a Canvas with the same component, or is there a more simple / more professional way of doing it?

Thank you for reading my question

I have made a different tile map on Grid there is a water tile map at which I don't want my player to move. I have attached a TileMap collider on the water tile map object but my player is now not able to walk at all. The collider covers the whole area although I just attached it on the water tile object

[spiral monolith]

are the ladders and some of the stuff blurry in the game if they are u can fix it its easier just to see a tutorial than to explain it its rlly simple tho

[crisp pond]

The ladder and other stuff are sprites they are separate the problem is with water tiles which have been created through Pallete

[spiral monolith]

so u dont want to be able to move when ur on the water correct?

[crisp pond]

Actually when I put collider on the water tile object it just cover the whole scene instead of just water tiles because it's on the base layer

[spiral monolith]

cant u just create a empty object put the collider on that and just resize it

[sleek pivot]

Hey there, I'm using sprite masks and was wondering why the Rendering Layer Masks aren't working (i think?)
I put both frames into different Rendering Layers, but it's still treated as if it's all on Layer1, anyone know why? I'm probably missing something here

(the red box in the left frame is from the background texture from the right frame)

[solemn latch]

What are your masking settings like? And these are sprites, not UI? You have sorting layer groups set?

[sleek pivot]

You mean these masking settings? Or is there also something else? And yes they're sprites not UI

How does the sorting layer play into this if you don't use a custom range?

[solemn latch]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-SpriteMask.html

You'll probably want to use custom ranges. Otherwise it doesn't only affect the chosen layer, but rather 'that layer and below'

Technically it isn't even a question at all.

Good point, is there anyway to show my sprites instead of the blue?

[still tendon]

Yap Right

[solemn latch]

No idea what you mean by 'blue.'

[still tendon]

Right now a background is displaying, blue, instead of the sprites I placed in the camera

[still tendon]

What should be changed in my main camera to fix this?

[still tendon]

I have these sprites placed in my camera but they don't seem to show, here are my camera properties as well. https://i.imgur.com/AyqHGbu.png

[elfin sandal]

move your cam back a few points

[solemn latch]

The near clip of your camera is .3, so anything closer than .3 to it will not be rendered.

[still tendon]

Not sure what you mean

Is the near clip being on 0 okay?

[elfin sandal]

it means exactly what i said

[solemn latch]

Just move the transform of your camera back so that the things you want rendered are inside the frustum.

[still tendon]

No matter what I move it doesn't seem to change

[spiral monolith]

how to fix this

[spiral monolith]

try changing the depth

[modest cargo]

It looks like a pixel of color is bleedning over from the adjacent tile
Tilemaps should have margins that extend the color a couple of pixels for this reason (though pixel perfect rendering may fix this as well, I don't recall)
Generating a sprite atlas is a quick and automated way to add margins to sprites

[neon spear]

The move selection in tile palette doesn't work for me. Anyone knows why?

[neon matrix]

so uh

how do i fix this?

the images are 16x16, and their ppu is set to 16, so

[lean estuary]

When you drop something on the scene it uses default material. If you want to make changes (beyond Material Property Block properties) you need to create your own material, assign it and then you can change the shader, etc.

[plain ginkgo]

Okay

You dont

Hey, we are currently working on a 2D game where we use Tilemaps. Now we got the problem, that in Unity for one of us there are vertical lines but not for the other. In a Build the lines arent there. This was the case after we added a Material on our Tilemaps with Pixel Snap enabled to fix flickering lines. Does anybody have an idea by what the differences are caused?

[elfin sandal]

do you have pixel perfect?

[thorny laurel]

There's no better way of adding the illusion of depth than exactly what I'm doing?

[elfin sandal]

not that I know of, by itself
if you have other things in the environment it would help
look at how other games do it

ik bilinear filter fixes this but it looks way too bad

[elfin sandal]

use anti aliasing

[upper briar]

I think this may be a bit of an open-ended question, but basically I'm stuck with a little dilemma here...

Using 2D stuff / Tilemaps, and I need to create an object that can move within the game (basically a pre-animated vehicle)

I made a test version, where a Tilemap is moving and rotating along a path, and this technically works - if I use a Tilemap I can create the vehicle using modular segments, which works nicely, and for props within the vehicle I can just add any non-grid-aligned sprites as children.

However, this means that I have to have each of these vehicles as a separate Tilemap, which is confusing for editing them, and I cannot use just one Tilemap, as they will all move when I only want a single one to move

Is there any alternative to creating something like this?

P.s. apologies if I haven't explained this well enough, I can't think of any examples from pre-existing games!

I don't think it would be that efficient to make one very large sprite for this, but I suppose that is one alternative

[elfin sandal]

why would you move the tilemap

[upper briar]

Ok so vehicle is basically a train (shoulda said it before but idk, trying to keep project under wraps I guess)

• The base sprites of the train are modular tiles, implying that a Tilemap would be the solution

• The train needs to move

• I don't want to hand place modular tiles outside of Tilemap as that would painstakingly fiddly

I am considering making it one sprite but that doesn't lend itself to flexibility in terms of detailing each train separately, or having many carriage variations (because it would mean quite a few large-sized train sprites instead of a few small, repeatable modular sprites)

[solemn latch]

foreshortening

[solemn latch]

One common cause is the game view being zoomed and/or not locked to a specific size

[solemn latch]

the PSD importer package is designed to do exactly that

[elfin sandal]

this is really confusing

[upper briar]

I understand, I don't have a great way to explain it lol
I'll try

[solemn latch]

The solution is probably to code your own train system with 'slots' for modular pieces.

[upper briar]

I had a feeling that might be one way out

I mean, don't get me wrong

[elfin sandal]

you could also extend the tilemap API

[upper briar]

it works ok, but it is limited by the tilemaps

i guess maybe just one base sprite for the train carriage could work and everything else detail-wise is separate gameobjects

[solemn latch]

I suggest figuring out exactly what you do and don't need and THEN deciding how to tackle it

[upper briar]

Fair point
I'll have a go later at deciding upon a set of rules it needs to obey

you need to create a new tilemap that sits on top of the ground tilemap

[short grove]

I'm new to unity and I was wondering why the blue box doesn't appear when I run my game

[elfin sandal]

Z position probably

[short grove]

ty so much!

[fierce flame]

guys this is so bad

[vernal ermine]

Anyone know why my sprite's colors get messed up when I import it into unity?

Nvm setting the compression to None fixed it

[turbid kayak]

How can I make ring in unity 2D that I can set both outside radius and inside radius?

[chrome grove]

Using the Pixel Perfect Camrea with Pixel Snap causes stuttering, anyone know why?

[reef stratus]

guys im a beginner to unity and i have setup so when you press space it jumps but many times it does not register, does anyone know how i can solve this problem

void jumpPlayer()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded == true)
{
isGrounded = false;
myBody.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpForce), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}
}

that is the script

[chrome grove]

Its probably something to do with your isGrounded portion. Also #💻┃code-beginner Might be the better location.

[reef stratus]

yh i thought it had something to do with that, ill move to that channel

thank you

[fierce flame]

guys
is there any effective way?
i dont wanna do it one by one

[silk basin]

How do i add slopes to autotiles?

@fierce flame You May be able to auto slice it.

[fierce flame]

ok thanks i will try it

[silk basin]

@fierce flame What kinda game are you working on?

[fierce flame]

tarkov rip off

for low end pc

use stalker anomaly animation and they mods

free 👍

[silk basin]

@fierce flame Did you make the art?

[fierce flame]

no

i cant xd

im bad at art

[silk basin]

Me too. but I am learning tho

[fierce flame]

i dont want to learn creating art xd
i only can draw stick man

[fierce flame]

guys anyway to select whole place in sprite editor?

or delete empty sprite in sprite editor

i have a lots of empty space xd

[elfin sandal]

no

[modest cargo]

When you slice by cell size or count there's an option for keeping/discarding empty rects

[fierce flame]

i dont know why

[hot mauve]

Hey all, I'm trying to import a package into unity that has a button with a sprite-swap animation.. but whenever I import it to a new scene the sprite-swap doesn't work
it shows as connected and all the assets are there.. but it simply doesn't change when clicked
tried exporting and importing a few times and simply doesn't work
like the sprite-swap gets broken

[old skiff]

can someone help me make a 2d sprite

[abstract olive]

This discord isn't for recruitment or job postings. You can use the forums for that, #📖┃code-of-conduct

[old skiff]

oh

[solemn latch]

You have plenty of time complaining that you could use learning.

[eternal hamlet]

what is Unity like with importing vector art? does it work enough to consider doing?

[tender willow]

hi, i am brand new to unity. I'm trying to make an isometric tilemap for like terrain. The issue is the sprite I found only is just a flat square (like you're looking at it orthogonally head-on). How can I transform this sprite when painting my tilemap?

I checked some unity guides but idk they didn't feel very helpful in this respect

[solemn latch]

They have a halfassed svg importer package but you're probably better off converting in your art software.

[fierce flame]

yay after 2h i deleted all unnecessery thing

[mystic pivot]

I am new to unity what is the best program to use for 2D art?

[solemn latch]

There's no single answer there, really.

[grand turret]

How do I get the tile size to match the grid size?

[modest cargo]

Use a PPU value in import settings that suits the sprite resolution

[grand turret]

thanks

[still tendon]

Guys it is only me who can't use imported PSB sprites in materials?

[solemn latch]

Probably, since I can do it just fine. What exactly is the problem you are having with doing it?

[still tendon]

And won't show if I search for it

If I export it as PNG it works fine

Like this fence PSB

[solemn latch]

I'm confused; if the thing you are using it for takes a texture2d, then a psb will use the generated spritesheet, not an individual sprite.

[still tendon]

Can't I use a sprite generated from the sprite sheet as texture2d?

[solemn latch]

No, because it isn't a texture2d.

You can't just dump it into something expecting a texture2d, because it is not a texture2d.

Generally, to use a sprite in a material what you do it to have a sprite renderer component feed a _MainTex into the material.

Which actually feeds it the base spritesheet generated from the psb plus the UV coords of that specific sprite

[modest cargo]

Indeed, the sprites aren't "generated" from a sprite sheet
Rather the sprite renderer gets data from the sheet to display only specific parts of it

[still tendon]

Oh i see, I thought unity chopped the PNGs and made separate images

[solemn latch]

You CAN drag the sprite sheet directly into your material and change the tiling/offset but that is a pain.

You could also write a script to perform the same function as the sprite renderer(or just use a sprite renderer)

Sprite renderers aren't perfect(they don't generate correct tangents, etc) but they are still 3d objects that can have materials applied.

[spiral monolith]

if i wanted to make something disappear when its behind something in 2d top down view and if i had a tree would i make the pivot higher or lower if i wanted to make the character disappear closer to the trunk?

[solemn latch]

Compare the pivots of the two objects.

[spiral monolith]

ah

ok

still didnt work

fixed it

[solemn latch]

Do you have axis sorting enabled?

[spiral monolith]

ye i just had my sorting thing to center instead of pivot

i prob didnt save my project last night

[lament spire]

So I found this 8 colors palette that I like, but i'm really struggling to make my game work with only these colors, so I was wondering if there was a way to extrapolate colors to make it like a 12 colors palette that still fits together

https://lospec.com/palette-list/dead-weight-8 this palette btw

[solemn latch]

You can just... add whatever colors you want?

[lament spire]

but I know nothing of color theory, and I know its based on some mathematical basis

[modest cargo]

Almost all the palettes you find are just picked based on what looks nice
https://color.adobe.com/ There's this tool which can help you find related colors and interesting gradients
But don't worry about it too much, colors are not an exact science

[lament spire]

From experience I can't make something look good without a palette, i'll try that adobe stuff

[ember oar]

there is any other way to open TilePalette window for micro game tutorials?

there is no 2D option under (MENU) windows ->

[spiral monolith]

how would i make it go behind the hand just the hand

[spiral monolith]

why is it when i delete something in materials everything goes pink

[abstract olive]

If you're deleting materials which are being used on something, it's going to turn pink.

[spiral monolith]

i wasnt using sky now everythings pink how do i fix it

[short crypt]

alr, so I have a PSB file I imported into Unity, and for some reason this coloring became distorted and now looks like this. Odd thing is, if I open this exact file back up in my art program, there is no discoloration to it at all. Any ideas what my be wrong?

[solemn latch]

You'll need to provide more info, that just looks like Mondrian had a red and brown period to me.

[solemn latch]

Your compression settings and/or maximum scale for your build platform

[short crypt]

So a fix would be?

[wind oar]

Hi, I am trying to get shadows onto my pixel art and I am having a couple issues. When casting the shadows there is this very thin outline (circled in red) around all of my pixels under the shadow. I have messed with the import settings on the sprite to see if there were any issues that could fix it, but nothing that I could see. Is there any way to fix this?

[short crypt]

Where can I change those settings?

[solemn latch]

Image import inspector and project quality settings

[solemn latch]

These are using urp 2d lights, or...?

[short crypt]

Thanks!

[short crypt]

So, I managed to fix it by going into the image import inspector from Automatic to RGBA 32 bit. Do you know of any way to set this to the default so I don’t have to manually change the compression level every time I import a new texture?

[solemn latch]

You can write an assetimporter for that

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

[short crypt]

Thanks

[wind oar]

Yes, they are 2d urp lights. I am using a light to simulate sunlight.
