#UnityTips Need to spread objects evenly along a transform?

Use the L(-1,1) command to linearly distribute them between point – and 1. Great for fast level layout, modular environments, and procedural placement workflows.

When dressing a scene, add slight random rotation to props for a more natural look.

Select multiple objects and enter +=R(-5,5) in the Y rotation field to randomize instantly.

Unity 6.4 starts the move from InstanceID to EntityId.

That means EntityId is now the preferred identifier for Unity objects, and InstanceID APIs are deprecated.

Also: don’t treat EntityId like a plain int.#gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/GQwJEFoWAe

HideFlags.DontSave is useful when an object should live outside normal scene saving. It won’t be saved to the Scene, it survives scene loads and you need to clean it up manually.

Good to know:
objects with HideFlags.DontSave won’t show up in Unity’s Find*ByType APIs. pic.twitter.com/nYOcsqbIVn

URP includes a LightingComplexity debug view in the Rendering Debugger.

It helps you see how many lights affect areas of the screen, making dense and potentially costly lighting setups much easier to spot.

Very useful when tuning scene lighting.#gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/2DSadPLlwl

Pooling is not only a GameObject topic.

For short-lived local copies like temporary List<T> instances, UnityEngine.Pool.ListPool<T> can help avoid unnecessary allocations.

A nice use case for cleaner, more GC-friendly runtime code.#gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/DYsk09lgrM

Unity’s MonoBehaviour comes with didAwake and didStart.

Very useful for guarding initialization flow.

For example:
Prevent changing values after Start() has already run, or ensure a handler executes before Awake().#gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/PdiP8JYlCq

Switch any GameObject’s Inspector between Normal and Debug mode via the More Items (⋮) menu.

Debug mode reveals all serialized fields even private ones and hidden references for deeper troubleshooting beyond the usual public view. pic.twitter.com/T86EGfI6CJ

Your localization tables lose their addressable group reference?

Fix: Mark the appropriate assets as Addressables and open the Addressables Analyzer windows.

Select Analyze Rules -> Fixable Rules and run it with „Fix Selected Rules“! pic.twitter.com/iv0cg6l8UK

Just so we are all aware that there is a VirtualMouseInput class.

A component that creates a virtual Mouse device and drives its input from gamepad-style inputs. This effectively adds a software mouse cursor.#gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/ebcxt25wzS
