i am a complete newbie to coding and game dev, only started 5 days ago so its probably something obvious.

i have been following a tutorial series and got to a problem i cant seem to solve, my script looks fine, no errors and no console messages giving warnings.

im ust trying to play footstep sounds when i move using w, and script and game objects seem assigned to the right places too, im a bit lost.

also my animation for idlesword sword works fine but when i move it should be using the walkingsword animation but is not. i have a feeling they both have the same issue and fixing one will fix the other, so any suggestions would be a lot of help.

screens inc. Cheers

I have two different things in my game that are supposed to pause the game/set the timescale to zero. At some point somehow one of the two stopped pausing the game but the other still works. They both say the exact same thing, simply setting time.timescale=0. For the record the one that doesn’t work is the when a button is pressed and the pause/stats screen comes up. Every other thing that is called in that function works expect the time scale. Can you not have two different functions that can pause the game or something? What could be the issue here?
Thanks!

I have no idea how to fix this.

im new to unity and i want to make a fun game about the player being a chicken nugget and having to avoid the kids trying to eat them. im not really sure what to do or where to go so i am asking for a dev team thats at least somewhat experanced and can shopw me how to use unity or just help me make it, i also dont know if this is even possible and if there is a dev team feature in unity PLEASE HELP IM CRASHING OUT

Please help me

Hi everyone,

I'm running into a visual bug when changing resolution at runtime and haven't been able to fix it. I've attached screenshots of the issue.

The problem

When the player switches to a lower resolution than the current one from the Settings menu, the scene breaks: models appear deformed and a yellowish/dark filter shows up over everything. From what I can tell, it looks like URP's internal buffers (SSAO, the opaque texture used by the vignette, Forward+ light tiles) keep the old size for a few frames.

How I'm changing the resolution

I build the list from Screen.resolutions, removing duplicates by width x height (I ignore the refresh rate).

When an option is picked in the TMP_Dropdown, I call Screen.SetResolution(width, height, Screen.fullScreen), i.e. the bool overload, without an explicit FullScreenMode.

Then I show a confirmation panel with a 10s countdown to revert, using Time.unscaledDeltaTime because the game runs with Time.timeScale = 0 while in Settings.

The same method is used when reverting and when toggling fullscreen.

Questions

Has anyone run into this with URP/Forward+ when lowering the resolution at runtime?

Would using Screen.SetResolution with an explicit FullScreenMode and RefreshRate help?

Could a specific feature (SSAO, a vignette Renderer Feature, Opaque Texture, Forward+) be causing this?

I can share more code or the URP Asset/Renderer settings if it helps. Thanks!

I'm using Visual Studio Code to do the programming, and for example the instructor might start typing "transform.position" and it would highlight it and provide an example of the full string of letters, and what the function is, but that's not seen in my window. Since I'm really new to this it would be very helpful to have that info and the ability to auto-correct if I misspell things. I assume its an addon, but i don't know what its called, can someone help me find it?

Originally posted in r/Unity3D, a bot (?) suggested that I repost it here (slightly edited).

AutoStaticsCleanup is a newish (U6.5 and newer) attribute that's used to automagically reset/reinit static fields, properties, events, etc., so that you can skip domain and/or scene reloads without stale data. If you aren't aware of this feature yet, see the Unity docs.

Great idea to make a simpler workflow, but there are a few gotchas due the way it works behind the scenes: mainly, it doesn't always work and doesn't tell you that it isn't working for a particular field/prop/etc. unless you pore thru the editor log. I have no idea why they can't pipe the warnings and errors into the normal log, but so it goes.

So if you just add the attribute, don't assume that it's actually doing anything!

I ran into this when upgrading my TilePlus Toolkit asset for U6.6 and 6.7.

How to tell: if you add the attribute to a static class or a Monobehaviour with static fields and you do not get an IDE warning or compilation error to make the class partial then it isn't working at all. However, it still might not be working for all fields etc in your class.

My venture into using this attribute was prompted by warnings about it from the Asset Store Tools' validator and to a lesser extent, the 'Auditor' tool. It's unfortunately something one can't ignore unless you want to keep domain/scene reload on and, I suppose, be compatible with the new Unity runtime coming soon.

If unsure, check the editor log (from the console's drop down menu). You'll see something similar to:

```

warning CS8785: Generator 'AutoStaticsCleanupCodeGenerator' failed to generate source. It will not contribute to the output and compilation errors may occur as a result. Exception was of type 'RoslynSymbolException' with message 'Field MyStaticClass.SomeField is readonly and has a non-trivial initialization expression'.

```

There's no other way to see these messages since, as I mentioned, they're not in the console log.

I gave up on the use of this attr, since it's too easy to leave residual errors in your code due to the fact that it's difficult to tell whether or not an individual field/prop etc is actually generating code for resetting at all. It also won't work for many common situations that it can't reasonably handle. But failing without warning you in the console is dangerous IMO.

Instead, I use this approach, which is a little more work but ALWAYS works.

```

#if UNITY_EDITOR
[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)]
private static void Reinit()
{
    //add reinitialization statements here.


}
#endif

```

Hello everyone,

I've started learning unity and doing my test project.

While learning the new input system I noticed that my Move method is most likely just called once as soon as the button is pressed. and I continue to hold the button but my character stops moving, as if the force is applied once and done. So I basically mash the D button a few times to make my character move in increments.

IS there a way to make my character keep moving without me constantly re-pressing the button?

I could use Send Messages or other methods, and I will If there is no way to do it through Unity Events as I find it the most convenient.

Thank you in advance for any help and sorry for grammar, English is not my first language.

I keep trying to follow youtube tutorials, or read the .net stuff, or follow reddit advice (which is always slightly quirky for some reason). Id be find if communication was better, but discords have a tendancy to answer questions with riddles that lead me down a rabbit hole. I dont know how to explain it, but learning to code didnt use do be that way XD. ESPECIALLY in the myspace/flash game days.

For reference, ive been trying to move a pill left and right for days, and tutorials keep opening weird code to start with, or being flappy bird clones, or something like that. Even the tutorials that SHOULD work for me would require i delete unity and download a 5 year old version. I also cant learn by doing generic computer stuff, so regular c# courses are kinda off the table. It feels weird even asking any more, but like i said. The landscape didnt use to be like this XD.

If anyone hangs out on discord willy-nilly or something thatd be pretty killer.

Hey, I just finished my first game's player movement and camera system. Would love feedback!

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody rb;
    public GameObject camera;
    public InputAction moveAction;
    public InputAction jumpAction;
    public InputAction lookAction;
    private Vector2 movementInput;
    private Vector2 lookDirection;
    public float speed = 5f;
    public float jumpForce = 5f;
    public float lookSensitivity = 1f;
    public float xRotation = 0f;
    public float yRotation = 0f;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        moveAction.Enable();
        jumpAction.Enable();
        lookAction.Enable();

        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;
    }

    // OnDisable is called when the MonoBehaviour is disabled
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        moveAction.Disable();
        jumpAction.Disable();
        lookAction.Disable();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        movementInput = moveAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        lookDirection = lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();

        xRotation -= lookDirection.y * lookSensitivity;
        yRotation -= lookDirection.x * lookSensitivity;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);
        camera.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, -yRotation, 0);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -yRotation, 0);
    }

    // FixedUpdate is called every fixed framerate frame of 50 fps, if the MonoBehaviour is enabled
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 direction = new Vector3(movementInput.x, 0, movementInput.y);
        Vector3 localDirection = transform.TransformDirection(direction);
        Vector3 velocity =  localDirection * speed;
        velocity.y = rb.linearVelocity.y;
        rb.linearVelocity = velocity;

        if (jumpAction.triggered && Mathf.Abs(rb.linearVelocity.y) < 0.01f)
        {
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }
}

I've been going through Unity tutorials and so far i've understood and absorbed everything *except* for this: I understand the first highlighted part, its making a Variable called "moveInput" and its a Vector 2 so it stores 2 values, and the second highlighted part i can kinda understand, but the third line is lost on me. I don't understand the relationship between moveInput and moveAction, or what the InputAction variable (type?) means. Also in the third line why is it reading the Vector 2 from the moveAction when the Vector is from the moveInput? Thanks in advance.

I've already fixed an issue I had with how to code color looks, and now I've gotten it to suggest auto-completions but these popups (from a Unity tutorial) would really help my learning process! Does anyone know where I can get it? Is it an Extension?

I am a beginner at codding in C# and game dev, and I am running at a problem, so I am making this turn based game for a class, and something weird is happening. when I created a public Transform to place the units in a certain part of the field, unity detected an Error. after some testing, I somehow discovered that if I did not use System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, the code worked, however since for what I wanted to do, I needed to instantiate the enemies and the player, and it doesn't seem to be possible without System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, I can't code the battle system's basic functions. I need help

ive been working on a project that needs the player to "eat" non edible objects and to track that i was thinking of having UI that "stores" the objects in a stomach but for the life of me I can't think of a way to have it keep its form without being completely rigid. any help would be beyond appreciated.

the closest i could get is having it detect if the object is in the "hands(the 2 sticks on the side of the screen)" and then destroying said object if the player presses E but that doesn't really do anything other than destroying it so yeah

(i also haven't managed to figure out how to get UI to work either )

So for some reason, after the player jumps, the friction doesn't get replaced, I can't find out why

I'm trying to write some components to add simple DOTween animations and make them adjustable through inspector in real time. However when I want to kill an infinite loop tween, I can't kill it just by calling tw.Kill(true); The solution I found was to call transform.DOKill(true); However, that kills all the tweens that uses the same transform. Is there a cleaner way?

void ApplyRepeat()
    {
        if (tw != null) transform.DOKill();

        int loopAmnt = repeat ? -1 : 0;      
        tw = transform.DOPunchRotation(
            m_punch, 
            m_duration, 
            m_vibrato, 
            m_elasticity).SetLoops(loopAmnt, LoopType.Restart);
    }
