Help me understand how state machine transitions work with the new input system

Say I'm in my idle state and I want to switch to the walk state. Should I subscribe to the walk event on the idle state, so that when it's called I would change state?
Or should I just read the value of the input, and change state if the value is above 0?

What's the difference

How to create a new Selectable?

As you already know, Unity has some UI objects (using Text Mesh Pro or not) that are "selectable", that means that we can interact with them, like for example a button, a dropdown, et cetera...

I want to create my own selectable that is a Slide-Toggle, I do not think that Unity have this one nor Text Mesh Pro.
But first, I want to know what the structure of the noscript have to be?
Do I need to use the class Selectable or just the Interface, I don't know about that.

I just want it to have the basics, so the Selectables properties (as the navigation and .interactable) and public methods (.Select()...).

Thanks for any help.

Member variables and their prefix

Let me start by saying that I’m aware that a great deal of this is subjective, based on specific needs and/or is personal preference.

Having said that, can someone please ELI5 local/member variables and the use of, for example, m_. Or any other pattern for that matter, like appending an “a” prefix or a singular underscore, etc.

I read on the unity forum that using them “.. solves all potential problems with ambiguity with member variables or local variables.”

This is how i interpret the prefix: say you have a Player noscript. In it, you call a method from your Inventory noscript and pass in a variable defined outside of both Player and Inventory. Should that variable have a prefix of some sort? i.e instead of int number it should be int _number?

Please share your opinions, as thoroughly as you’d like. Use analogies though my brain works better that way 🙂

Thinking of Starting a YouTube Channel for the "99% Club" of Indie Games

Hey fellow devs,

So, I had this brilliant idea at 2 a.m. (you know, when the best ideas come to life): What if I started a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing solo and small indie games? Not the ones already hogging the limelight on Steam's front page, but the real underdogs. The demos, prototypes, and games that might only have a couple of downloads but still represent hundreds of hours of blood, sweat, and questionable life choices.

I mean, let’s face it—we’ve all daydreamed about someone playing our game on YouTube, leaving wholesome (or hilarious) feedback, right? I want to be that person for you. The indie dev’s indie dev. The champion of games that are “a bit rough” but brimming with passion.

Now, full disclosure:

I haven’t actually started the channel yet.

I have no editing skills (lol).

I’m a socially awkward gremlin (hi).

I also don’t know if this kind of self-promoting-post-but-not-really is allowed here, so mods, pls don’t smite me.

But I made a placeholder YouTube channel because I’m serious-ish about this: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHoardWorkshop. There’s nothing there yet except dreams and a doodle of a guy I might turn into a PNGtuber/animation style mascot. Think “Jaiden Animations but worse,” because simplifying is hard, okay?

So here’s the deal:

What do you think of this idea? Am I setting myself up for heartbreak and 3 views per video, or could this actually be useful for the dev community?

Tell me about your games! I don’t care if it’s a demo, prototype, or some weird experiment that’s been quietly chilling on Steam for years—if it hasn’t hit the big time, I wanna see it.

Also, if someone’s already doing this better, drop their link in the comments. I’ll happily support them instead (and maybe save myself from a slow spiral into video editing madness).

Thanks for reading my ramble! I’d love to hear your thoughts—and your games! :D

What is considered best practice as far as propelling an object forward?

Thinking of ditching setting up velocity alltogether, and just adding force instead. Any potential pitfalls that I might be missing? This is for Top down perspective.
