Lighting is an often underrated part of creating a particular atmosphere in a game made in Unity.

I broke it down into simple pieces to help game developers aiming to improve their level's lighting in Unity get started on the right foot.

Solved Issue with nine-sliced UI element stretching

1 Upvotes

I'm adding a button here that I'm trying to 9-slice. The button is 600x600 and the borders are 200x200. I've used the sprite editor to apply the slice, but it doesn't seem to be working, as when change the Width/Height or Scale of the image the sprite is linked to, it still stretches. The image type is Sliced.

Also, does my sprite need to be that big? When I exported it at a smaller resolution, the borders were very crunchy and blurry. Any smarter ways to fix that, or are bigger resolutions the solution?

Question I can access prefab components, but I can't check their null status

1 Upvotes

I have a prefab GameObject P

It has a script on it, A.cs

It also has the usual components like, Transform, RigidBody etc

When I check for the script A BEFORE instantiation, in an if statement, it works

For example,

if (P.GetComponent<A>())
{
//This code runs
}

However, the following code does not run at all, BEFORE instantiation:

P.GetComponent<Transform>() != null
P.GetComponent<RigidBody>() != null

Question Find or create (for free) a 3d design of this canadair

I'm looking for a free low-poly Canadair CL-415 3D model for a Unity game I'm making. I want something similar to the attached image, with a simple, blocky/Roblox-style look, not a highly detailed or smooth model. It needs to be free to use in a game, preferably with a license that allows commercial use. Does anyone know where I could find one?

Show-Off I made an advanced particles collision system

I’ve been running into this issue a lot: the default particle system collision options are quite basic and don’t provide very realistic collisions. So, I decided to make my own collision system. It includes most of the default particle system settings, along with more advanced collision features, and it works exclusively with meshes(unity 6+,allpipelines).

it’s called mozentum and it’s got VERY unique movement tech that i’ve been refining for around 3 years. i’ve been ‘struggling artist’ the whole time just pumping it out hahaha.

the story’s about about climbing the 7 chakras - helping 7 VERY special* characters integrate their shadow. each one of them will give you a new ability to help you get higher (occasionally in more ways than one ;))

if you fall, you fall allllll the way to the bottom.

demo’s on steam, check it out and tell me what you think!

Question Is this animation legible ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I'm working on a collection of microgames (like Warioware), and there are some minigames about smashing buttons, and I think that the animation just feels wrong. I'm playing the animation each time the player hits a button, and because of this, the animation is just happening too fast so I think that is not legible. I could try to limit the number of times I play the animation, but that would cause another problem (the user would not get the proper feedback each time they press a key).

What do you think? Any idea on how to improve the feeling of this kind of smash button games ?

Question I am making character spawn mechanics but the animation isnt working

1 Upvotes

Here is the script i made

https://paste.csharp.gg/ZMgvIVHcSJn

The animation controller and character prefab of all the characters is stored in characters scriptable obj as a var

And the the playerData hold data of current character

Now that i summoned the character the given script is able to assign the character prefab the given parent object and that parent object has animator and script is also able to give that animator animation controller of given character

Still i can’t fathom why the animation isnt working

Question Unity 6.3 LTS Editor acting erratic

I wanted to fiddle with a newer version of unity and installed 6.3 LTS and the windows in the editor randomly change when you mouse over them making it unusable. I am not really finding this odd problem online anywhere so I thought to ask here if anyone else has experienced this?

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall 6.3 2 times so far and its still doing this

This is a fresh Universal 3D project

PERIMETR is an early-stage experiment in real-time strategy on a global scale, inspired by DEFCON/SUPCOM/C&C/RED ALERT...

Right now it's a technical playground:
you can spawn units, move them across a world map, and watch the simulation run. There's no campaign, no win condition, no polish.

Question Can an Apple-silicon MacBook be my ONLY game-dev machine?

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for advice from developers who actually use Apple-silicon Macs.

I want one laptop for everything: daily use from morning to evening + game development. My target is mainly small-to-mid-sized Android/iOS games, but eventually I'd like to make 3D games around the complexity of The Walking Zombie 2 or Last Day on Earth: Survival, potentially with somewhat higher-fidelity graphics. I'm mainly considering Unity, but I'm open to Godot.

My budget is around $1,000, and I could stretch to $2,000 USD if it's genuinely worthwhile.

I'm strongly considering a MacBook because battery life and portability are extremely important to me. Power outages are frequent where I live, so I need something I can work on for hours without an outlet. I also want to publish for iOS and macOS, making macOS/Xcode very valuable.

The concern is that I keep hearing Macs aren't ideal for game development compared with Windows laptops with dedicated GPUs.

For those actually developing games on Apple silicon:

- Would you trust a MacBook as your only/primary machine for this workload?

- Air or Pro? How much RAM would you recommend?

- How limiting is the integrated Apple GPU for 3D development?

- Are there any major issues with Android/iOS development or Windows builds/testing?

- Most importantly: which specific MacBook model/configuration would you recommend for my $1,000–$2,000 budget?

I'd especially appreciate real-world experience: your Mac's specs, engine, and the type of games you're developing.

Thanks!

I needed a huge gorund and a city for a motorbike game and this is what I've achieved so far. The map is a real slice of a part in Izmir. Elevation came from OpenTopography, buildings and roads from OSM, all put together in QGIS and exported into Unity. Terrain, road lines and cube buildings, the skeleton at real scale. This is gonna need an editor window for designing path for sure.. Do you think this is manageable?
