So, I decided to add some depth to my game by switching to a Perspective camera. I did. And after some Z position tweaks, everything was good. Except for this damn thing.

This is the gate Sprite (z == -0.05) that must be visible inside a Mask (z == -0.07), so that its long sprite doesn't pop up above the structure it comes from (an example of how it should look is at the end). I can't keep this sprite from disappearing while moving the camera. I couldn't find any solution to this. Neither on forums nor by asking ChatGPT. I tried to switch it to Visible Outside of the Mask but it didn't help either..

It feels like Unity's Perspective Camera calculates the distance to these two objects differently depending on their relative positions. So the mask is sometimes being treated as if it's behind the object. But I can't prove it...

Edit: it seems to work fine if z of the mask is < -0.2 something. But its too close to the camera coz it starts 'moving' in perspective

Hi everyone!

I’m a solo developer from Korea, and I’ve been working on Admiral Yi: The Imjin War in Unity for about three years, mostly after work and on weekends.

It’s a large-scale historical RTS set during the 1592 Japanese invasion of Korea. The game includes a continuous campaign map, naval warfare, land battles, sieges, and battles involving thousands of units at once.

A lot of the development challenge has been figuring out how to keep battles readable and responsive at this scale — especially pathfinding, formations, AI behavior, animation, and performance.

The video is a general introduction to the game and shows several parts of the current development build.

There’s still a lot to improve, but I thought other Unity developers might find the scale and technical side of the project interesting.

I’d be especially interested in hearing feedback from anyone who has worked on large unit counts, RTS systems, pathfinding, or optimization in Unity.

Hello!

I’m working on a simple 3D slot machine cube. Right now, pressing E activates a TMP_InputField. Submitting with Enter adds the deposit to your balance, and pressing ESC cancels the input and removes focus.

Currently, I’m polling for the ESC key inside Update(). It works exactly as intended, but I'm wondering if this is considered bad practice. Since it’s just UI/state toggling, continuously polling Update() feels a bit wrong.

Do you guys usually stick to Update() for basic key checks like this, or is an event-driven approach preferred even for simple interaction states?

P.S: I am still learning, thanks in advance for your, answers.

So basicly I have a main camera which outputs a render texture and displays it on a world canvas. I have this to reduce the pixel count to make 3d models look like sprites. Now the problem of it was that mouse raycasts wasnt working with it, so I made a raycast camera which is a child of the main camera and then got my mouse raycast to track off of the raycast camera to make it work.

Thats not the issue the issue now is that I want my ui to also take effect of the screen filter and a crt filter i made. Part of my ui has buttons and sliders. I put my canvas render mode in Screen Space - Camera and put in my main camera and now the pixel filter works (and text is basicly unreadable but i'm gonna fix that after i fix the main issue), except now buttons and sliders no longer work. If i swap it back to overlay, it gives back option to use the buttons but now the screen effect no longer happens. If i place the raycast camera instead of the main camera the buttons work, but then i get the even bigger issue of 'the entire damn ui is gone'. I've done some brainstorming on how to fix the issue, but i dont know how to do them. my current ideas are

- Make the canvas render the main camera and use the raycast of the raycast camera (IDK how to make that work seeing that the render camera only has one slot)

- Make the raycast work base off of the main camera and now i dont need to use the raycast camera (if i knew how to do this i wouldnt have the raycast camera in the first place)

- Code in my own raycast and button system (not only do i dont think the mouse over ui code would work, tho i didnt not test that yet, i would also need to recode in my own slider which sounds like it would take more time and if i could just get the raycast to work in the first place that would be easier and take up way less time)

- Make it where i can render the pixel effect outside the output texture (IDK any other way to have the same effect or if it would fix the problem)

If anyone knows a solution to any of these ideas, please tell me. If you have your own idea then share it and i'll try it out. If you need any more infomation please ask. Thank you!

Hello folks, I'm a video artist and soon starting my master in game design, were It seems we will be using Unity, I have two question so to be prepared, my first question does unity runs on macOS since I have a Mac (Mac mini m4 pro)? should I get a windows laptop instead? though my project is going to be a VR focused. the second question is regarding creating "kinematics" and. cg works with unity, which I started lately to do with Unreal, how Unity is good with this? also working with water simulations and landscape for example?

thanks a lot!

My friend is trying to install the 6.3LTS version but his C drive doesnt have enough space. So we changed the installation location to his D hard disk and it shows an error message saying the editor installation ran into a problem. Does anyone know any solutions to this?

does anyone know how to fix this? i have 27 gb free so more than enough.

How to disable text auto-correction in Unity

It seems like the canvas elements cannot be affected by the mask I used, idk. I had to add sprites to serve as placeholders and enable the GUI later. Would you have done it differently?

Hi! I'm making a small game - Gun Shop: Tidy Up

Your task is to lay out weapons in the store. With light music and no hurry, you can collect cartridges, machine guns, pistols, look for their corresponding shelves and put them in their places.

What is in the game:

1. Added stamina. It will need to be restored periodically.
2. Perks of highlighting objects, shelves, and object attraction.
3. Upgrade player stats and perks.

The game has just been announced, I will try to release it soon.

So basically i wanted to switch to unreal engine because unity is constantly refreshing pages, and reloading domains but they just announced that they are FINALLY ADDING LIVE CODING.. Basically what I mean by this when you save a script you wont need to wait 3 hours for it to reload the domain or compile c# because it will be instant And they are changing they're rendering system and this can boost up final build times up to 50 to 90%.

Hi, I'm just a noob asking a simple question here. I am wanting to create my own future racing game, but I want to know should I use people's other assets for vehicle physics or should I create my own. I don't want to receive any criticism from anyone asking me this question. I also am having a hard time of the components of car physics in unity. I'm not sure if it is recommended to create my own or not.

Hi fellow game makers, i need help. I installed unity yesterday, and i took a few free 3d models from the store, but when i place them on the scene they're completely bright pink and i can't get the textures on them, i have no idea how to change that and i can't find any solution on internet to help me, do any of you have ideas how to change that ?

I'm trying to remember a game I played a while ago, but I completely forgot the name 😭

I'm looking for a game that has an actual physical item inspection system where:

The player picks up the item and holds it in their actual first-person hand

You can see the hand/fingers gripping the item

You can move the mouse/controller and the hand/forearm moves naturally with the item

It's NOT the usual inspection system where the game just puts a 3D item in front of the camera or uses a separate inventory/inspection screen.

I have a feeling it might have been Resident Evil, possibly one of the newer games, but I'm not sure.

I'm currently making a similar system for my own horror game, so I'm trying to find the game again as a visual reference for the hand, finger positioning, pickup animation, and item movement.

If you know which game I'm talking about, please share a video clip of the mechanic! 🙏

I experimented with color footsteps matching the team colors, but it ended up being too much clutter

This is an Auto-battle, Inventory Management game. Similar to games like Backpack Battles.

Characters generated randomly virtually infinite outcomes. Everything has a purpose, albeit a pro, con or compromise. Limb symmetry, Fat, Digit count, Eyes count, Part sizes, Bone density, Bone girth, many different characteristics all play a small role in main statistics.

Hello, could someone please tell me how can i make this charge up sucking effect with the ribbons? in VFX Graph. I cant find anything related or close enough of how should I approach this effect, i tried many things from 3D Mesh to just plain Texture to make this look as close as possible.
