#

what's the news

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

eh 2 secs

#

#

its

#

just

#

the

#

particles scene

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

oh

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

i knew it

#

so where the hell

#

is MY sample scene

#

SEE

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

yes

#

i can see

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

the particles scene imported into the assets

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

was there anything else in the recycle bin

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

ruby scroll the particles scene imported into the assets

no, it didn't

#

you said you deleted the particles samplescene, correct?

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

well scenes>samplescene

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

yes because you put it there now

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

yeah

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

so the deleted one is the one you deleted from Particles/Scenes

#

Not Assets/Scenes

#

so check the recycle bin again

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

okay

#

will do

#

there was samples folder and samples.meta

#

which is just this

#

#

ughhh

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:38 PM

#

so nothing comes up when you search "scene" in the recycle bin?

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:38 PM

#

so right lets have a recap, i imported the particles sample scene, that was in particles>scenes>samplescene i think, then i realized where is my sample scene, so i deleted the particles folder to clear things up

#

lmc

#

UGHHHH

#

so where is my ORIGINAL SampleScene? where can it be, because i didnt delete it, i honestly think that particles has fucked everything and just overwritten my own samplescene, cause why would it ask me to reload to make changes? no other asset ive imported has asked me to do that, none

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

ruby scroll so where is my ORIGINAL SampleScene? where can it be, because i didnt delete it,...

but it isn't possible for a folder to overwrite a folder higher in the hierarchy

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

i see

#

so where was my original samplescene housed?

#

did it have its own folder?

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

ruby scroll so where was my original samplescene housed?

in assets/scenes

#

unless you moved it

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

#

but this is just the particles scene

#

not mine

#

so its 100% overwritten it

#

YES

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

no

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

i created this night profile

#

#

i remember this

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

ok...

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

it was for my samplescene

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

but I don't understand how this happened then

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

exactly that asset im telling you dude its overwritten my becasue we had same names

#

thats whats happened

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

but that's not how files work

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

and i'll forever hate that asset

#

well...

#

heres my question to you, why did it ask to make changes and reload my scene?

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

hold on let me check something

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

because it wanted to overwrite my scene and reload to the new imported particle scene

#

okay

#

dude

#

#

see the scenes folder

#

with 'SampleScene.unity'

#

this is what overwrite my SampleScene that was in Scenes folder

#

it fucking overwrite it

#

i knew it

#

the particle scene wasnt in particles>scenes>samplescene it was in scenes>samplescene

#

hence the overwriting

#

thats so dumb man

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

Ah

#

Wait ok

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

get it now

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

In the other screenshot it looked like that was all inside the particles folder

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

nahhh

#

hence why it asked to reload

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

but yeah ok that's just a bad asset then

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

fucking dumb asset man

#

why

#

also i should of changed name but still

#

dumb ass asset

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

yes

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

but they couldve called it particlessamplescene

#

honestly

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

now, next time, make backups, check what you're importing, and make prefabs of important things

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

thats what ive learnt from this lesson

#

#

#

heady tusk Dec 28, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

ruby scroll well its back to the drawing board for me ahhhh

if it helps, the game I'm working on now, I had to completely restart 3 times

#

and now it's way better than it would've been if I hadn't

ruby scroll Dec 28, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

#

yeah sometimes a full restart can lead to a better project

#

and hey, whats a good game without a couple of hiccups ahaha

#
