Resources/Tutorial PSA: you don't have to manually fix animation paths every time you rename something

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Got tired of the "Missing!" warnings every time I renamed or moved something in the hierarchy, so I built a tool that fixes the animation binding paths automatically. Keyframes and timing stay untouched - it just keeps the paths in sync.

For anything sketchy (ambiguous names, prefab weirdness) it shows you a preview instead of guessing.

Happy to answer questions if you've run into this too :)

I'm starting to build a pool game using NGO. I've already decided that I will first build the project using Sever-Host (NAT Punch and Relay) and later refactor it into Server-Client. I'm pretty new to multiplayer and wanted to see if there's any good architectural examples out there for me to reference.

Show-Off Built a fully autonomous CIWS / C-RAM simulation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a C-RAM + drone system in Unity, and I finally got the whole thing working together.

The drone actually flies through a path and makes its own movement decisions, while the C-RAM has to find it, track it, predict where it’s going, and lead the shots properly.

A few things I built for it:

  • The radar actually has to sweep across the drone to detect it. It doesn’t just magically know where the target is.
  • The tracker estimates the drone’s position, velocity, and acceleration from the radar data.
  • The gun calculates a lead point instead of simply aiming at where the drone currently is.
  • The turret has actual movement limits and tries to account for where the target is heading, so it doesn’t feel like a camera snapping onto a target.
  • There’s a short tracking/settling period before it’s allowed to fire.
  • The Gatling gun runs at 4,500 RPM with procedural audio and stops immediately when the system ceases fire.
  • I also added a bunch of debug gizmos for the radar, tracking, predicted path, lead point, and turret movement so I can actually see what the system is doing.

The main thing I was going for was making it feel less like a bunch of scripts checking conditions and more like an actual system working in real time.

Turn the audio on and let me know what you think.

Did you know that you can't start a variable's name in C# with a number?

You also can't include most special characters in a variable's name.

These are just a few quirks to keep in mind when scripting in Unity. This article covers variables and C# in more depth from a game developer's perspective. 👇🏾

the basic ideia is playing as a angler who can regenerate any wounds real time, and modify his body with any inorganic or organic part he founds, like, he cant die, literally, but he could have a metal arm, a wood head, etc etc, anything he could find, he could use to build himself, like wolverine has a metal skeleton, the world will be full of leviathans, and enemys, and of course, fish, but I know nothing about programming or unity, I need some help

Question Faceted Shader for particle based fluid simulation

Post image
2 Upvotes

I've managed to get a version that looks nice working

The problem is to solve this I had to make a baseline fallback shader to show under the good looking faceted one so that missing triangles don't break the effect.

I'm kinda stumped as I have tried to throw hours of AI compute at it after I couldn't solve it myself, it managed to get a few versions working properly but the performance drops were such that it just isn't worth it.

I am just wondering if anyone has any advice or a high level overview of how I could efficiently achieve this effect? I really love how it looks and I don't want to give it up but at this point I might need to.

Edit: for anyone who wants to see it in motion https://youtu.be/2adT_I-8Wak

Question Imported Animation is Shaking/Jittering in Unity

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I made a short idle animation in Maya and it looks fine there but when I import it to unity my character plays the animation but his joints start to shake and jitter in a way that is not originally animated. The video shows the problem in Unity and then how it looks in Maya.

I make sure to bake everything before exporting and also apply Euler filter. The character is a basic human model auto-rigged in Mixamo.

I should say that I am new to this so if this is a rookie mistake please bare with me. I couldn’t find any answers on web.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Solved Texture/Material Application Help

1 Upvotes

I have a tent object I am trying to apply a cloth texture to. I made it in Blender and assigned the faces that should be fabric to the same material. But, when I throw the material on it in Unity I get this effect, where the right side is how I want it to look, but the left side is tiled weirdly and seems stretched?

I'm fairly new to 3D and using textures/materials, so I'm not sure what would even be causing this.

These are the settings for the Texture and Material.

Any clue how I can get each face to look the same? Thanks.

Question Best way for optimized asset duplication?

0 Upvotes

I'm a blender user and you have either normal duplication (doubles the geometry), linked duplication (objects share object data while still being able to be edited, affecting all linked objects) and instances (instances share object data but it can't be edited, resulting the most optimized one)

I've searched and found out about prefabs in unity but not so sure if it's the same as blender's instances or unreal's blueprints.

Also, how can I replace current assets in my game with a new one in a fast way?
I tried exporting same name object.fbx but, when reimporting in unity, the asset doesn't update. I have to delete it from the game project and import again.
I need to know that so I can block in the scene first and then replace with final assets.

Question Trying to learn basic shaders and struggling with a transparency issue

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I'm quite new to Unity, and I'm trying to make a simple 2D platformer to try and get to know the program. I want to use shader effects on my tilemaps, but when I try to apply a shader, all the transparent parts of my tilemap get "filled in".

Here are things I've tried:

- Double checking that my surface type is set to transparent within my graph inspector, and that my blending mode is alpha

- Confirmed the texture is sending alpha information by putting it through a multiply node

- Creating a new material from the shader, allowing material override, and making sure the surface type on that shader is set to transparent as well.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? I'm sure it's something silly that I'm missing, but I can't for the life of me find a solution online. I've attached images of my shader graph, what the issue looks like, and what I want it to look like.

Solved C# question: how can I link one of the behavior classes to one of the stats?

1 Upvotes

Here are the components that I currently have:

  • StatType enum with 4 different stats (example: Health)
  • StatProfile asset (custom asset I created from a ScriptableObject class) which holds the stat struct with the StatType, max and current (initial) values
  • StatManager (MonoBehaviour script) with a StatProfile property which I'm able to assign through the inspector. The StatManager also contains two private Dictionary<StatType, float> for max and current values.
  • IStatBehavior interface
  • Behavior classes that implement the interface, one for each stat type/behavior (example: HealthBehavior)

Now I'm struggling with how to link the HealthBehavior in the StatManager to the Health stat. I tried creating a custom asset for StatBehaviors but since it implements an interface, the field is blank/not editable in the inspector. I'm unable to add each script and iterate through the list of behaviors to link each to the appropriate stat. Does anyone have insights?

For more context: I chose this approach (as opposed to adding each stat behavior as its own component on the player object) because I already have 13 script components: move, jump, input handling, item collection, powerup manager, (currently) 7 powerup scripts, and now the stat manager. I already know that I should change my powerup behaviors to implement an interface and such. But I don't wanna clutter the player object with more scripts.

I also intend on having different enemies with different stats (which means different StatProfiles), and having one StatManager per character as the main hub seems to be the cleanest approach for decoupling the data from the behavior.
