The error is: SUCCEEDED ( hr ) rc . right == m_GfxWindow -> GetWidth () && rc . bottom == m_GfxWindow -> GetHeight ()   it works in most cases, but not all time. Solutions From different users: I found that closing and re-opening unity fixed the error (or at least stopped it from showing up in the footer). I re-started Unity and the message is gone. I tried run unity as admin and the problem is solved  I had the same problem. I was using two screen and it was solved when I turned off one of them.  see also: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Unity’s latest Facebook build target finally available as a Developer Beta Mode

We know that developing android apps and working with AdColony SDK to show video ads gives you problem. The problem we found usually it keeps downloading video ads and save them on the device. I found the comment from the person from Adcolony, He says AdColony does cache our assets to the device - both for quality (instant loading advertisements) as well as reusability. Many assets are shared across multiple campaigns and in the case that a duplicate advertisement is served it saves you from re-downloading the same assets. Each device has a specific memory class (or app specific memory limit) that we will not exceed, and we also purge old and unused assets occasionally to keep the size down. While it is possible to programmatically clear your app's data cache, we do not recommend this as it may lead to redundant downloads and unnecessary data usage. Please feel free to contact us further at support@adcolony.com. Solution: Your video is stored in the application dat...

  There must be some other ways to solve this error. But how i solved is simply adding this line of code in FacebookAndroidUtil.cs file System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("G:\android\android-sdks") + @"\.android\debug.keystore" :    The problem was i had %HOMEPATH% environment variable in other drive(In G:/) and unity project in another drive. Then whenever Facebook SDK calls System.IO.File.Exists(DebugKeyStorePath), DebugKeyStorePath is actually wrong. That is because DebugKeyStorePath is searching in System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("HOMEPATH") + @"\.android\debug.keystore" Which is wrong path to find the key. Solution Go to FacebookAndroidUtil.cs file, and on line 62 change the code from System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("HOMEPATH") + @"\.android\debug.keystore" :  To System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(" G:\android\android-sdks ") + System.Environment.GetEnvironm...

Though Unity comes with a perfect solution integrated for 3D pathfinding – the Nav Mesh – for the 2D games, that is less versatile because it particularly creates navigation meshes that horizontal throughout the Z axis. Lacking making a 2D system utilizing a custom orthographic camera, as well as your own sprite renderer, it can make more sense to stay with Unity’s 2D workflow. Now what’s the perfect solution? fortunate for your needs, Vaggelis Gavalakis has develop Polynav – a 2D pathfinding system designed to work with Unity’s sprite workflow. It’s experienced development a short period of time, and it is currently getting plenty of support and traction from the Asset Store and Unity forums. Have a look at videos below to find out the reason why this is really quite cool! Poly|Nav is actually a polygonal based 2D pathfinding system . which is quite simple to set-up and employ, designed for the Unity's latest 2D system games! Features - Define the walkable an...

Here is a video shows how to reduce draw calls in unity . The plugin we used to reduce unity draw calls is completely free and you can find it in asset store by the name of "draw call minimizer." The plugin is really easy to use and help you in reducing draw calls all the steps are described in their PDFs documentation. download asset here https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/2859 the script is very powerful The way that this script works, is that you have a parent object that everything being combined is child under. You attach the script to the parent object, fiddle with the settings if you need to, and play the game. All of the combining is done at run time so no extra assets are created. see also:   Optimizing Mobile Games in Unity MOST PROFITABLE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES Using Git With 3D Games Source Control

Good performance is critical specially for mobile devices.To give you some important techniques and info about making better performance we made this guide. First start it with draw call. What is draw calls and how to reduce them? Draw call is a material in an object drawn to screen/gameplay. for example an object with 1 material = 1 draw call and an object with 9 materials = 9 draw calls, camera, lights, shadows, sky and so on To reduce draw calls Unity can easily combine many objects at runtime plus draws them along with a single draw call. This process is called “ batching ”. The more objects Unity can batch with each other, the better rendering performance you can get. Only objects using the same material can be batched together. Below is an example of batching. A scene with lots of objects having only 3 draw calls. Things to keep in mind: You should have the total number of materials as low as possible. This will make it easier for Unity to batc...

Unity default cursor settings are not really works in player setting they will show you cursor in unity engine but in web player after you build the game, I found in lots of forums about unity cursor scripts that people gives really hard methods for custom cursor, so today i found really awesome and clever script, here we got to the Very Simplest Unity Custom Cursor Script. Steps: create new java script and name it customcursor.js now past the following code in the script. var yourCursor : Texture2D;  // Your cursor texture var cursorSizeX : int = 16;  // Your cursor size x var cursorSizeY : int = 16;  // Your cursor size y function Start() {     Screen.showCursor = false; } function OnGUI() {     GUI.DrawTexture (Rect(Event.current.mousePosition.x-cursorSizeX/2, Event.current.mousePosition.y-cursorSizeY/2, cursorSizeX, cursorSizeY), yourCursor); } Now drag this script on camera and set y...

Avoiding your objects from passing with each other is really tricky especially for fast moving objects like bullets and Prevent colliders. Today we made tutorial and script for you to show how to prevent colliders  from passing through each other. The best way to make sure that you detect all collision is to use Raycasting instead of depending on the physics simulation. This is helpful for bullets or small objects, but will likely not provide great results for large objects.  Below answer is from stackoverflow Collision with fast-moving objects is always a problem. A good way to ensure that you detect all collision is to use Raycasting instead of relying on the physics simulation. This works well for bullets or small objects, but will not produce good results for large objects. http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html Pseudo-codeish (I don't have code-completion here and a poor memory): void FixedUpdate() { Ve...
