SETTINGS MENU in Unity 

by the way guys, if you cannot drag in the resolution drop down, you probably have a text mesh pro dropdown one. To solve this you can do 'public TMPro.TMP_Dropdown resolutionDropdown;' instead of the 'public Dropdown resolutionDropdown'. I hope this helps on anyone who is stuck.

Dude every time i need to learn something, i go on youtube and every time, you make a video about what i needed at that moment, you kidda scary tho

Just wanted to let you know your tutorials are phenomenal! I really appreciate the way you add in Debug.Logs as you go so we can see it working as we go rather than just hoping it all works at the end of the tute. Stay awesome man!

Small tip Select the audiosource you want to control volume > Output > None→Master(AudioMixer). :D

At 14:30 there´s a mistake in the script. He compares resolution[i] with Screen.currentResolution but that´s wrong. CurrentResolution gives the Resolution of the monitor but we want to compare it with the Resolution of the window in case we change the scene. That´s why we have to compare resolution[i].width with Screen.width and resolution[i].height with Screen.height.

You are the best, Brackeys !

It's true what they all say, you are THE Unity guy. Sure I know others exist, but the sheer amount of topics you discuss, from 2d to 3d, to settings and multiplayer. Thanks so much! It's been long overdue for me, but FINALLY getting into Unity and C# :D

For the resolutions option, if anybody is seeing a lot of seemingly duplicate options (I was), it's because of refresh rates - you have 1920x1080@60hz and 1920x1080@144hz for example. What I did was add the refresh rate into the dropdown text options: string option = resolutions[i].width + " x " + resolutions[i].height + " @ " + resolutions[i].refreshRate + "hz";

Probably one of the few youtubers who care about their subscribers and take their feedback!

This is what i love about Brackeys, The quality of their tutorials.

This tutorial is what the beginner gamedev community has been waiting for for ages now :D Thanks for creating this!

YOU ARE BADASS MAN!! I REALLY LOVE YOU DUDE!

At 5:10 use audioMixer.SetFloat("Volume", Mathf.Log10(volume) * 20); instead since the audiomixer volume is not linear Edit: make sure the varibles match yours ie. same caps and spellings

Dude, you don't even know how your tutorials have been helping me, thanks.

I just found this channel yesterday this is so helpful and amazing. I don't know how else to thank you as soon as I have a stable income I will become a patron supporter!!!

Brackeys: Its an amazing pack thats free on the asset store The asset store: That'll be $25 please

We asked for it, we got it, we enjoy it. :D

Loving these UI tutorials. Keep 'em coming!!!

This video has been really really helpful! I tried to make an option menu, and some stuff didn't work, after watching this video, I found what I did wrong. Thanks, Brackeys! Love the christmas hat btw

If it weren't for Brackeys, not only would I have maybe thought about giving up Game developing, thinking it would be too boring or difficult, or I would have kept doing it but never find so much joy in learning the basics. Thanks man!

Love the tutorial. Wish you were still making them.

I'm always so happy when I finish writing the scripts and there are no errors

Can't thank you enough for this! Didn't expect to learn anywhere near this much!

If your slider is affecting the audio mixer values but not changing the sound volume of your audio, you have to drag the mixer into the slot of your audio clip on the inspector to affect the actual sound of each clip.

If you want to set the default quality to high for instance you can do that within the dropdown component by setting 'value' to 2. I struggled with this a bit at first :P

I was just looking for this! Thank you yet again Brackeys!!!!!

DUUUDE, just arrived at the point in my personal project where I have to implement the settings menu! Best timing ever!

If you are using a TextMeshPro DropDown instead of the default Dropdown change: public DropDown resolutionDropdown; to public TMP_Dropdown resolutionDropdown; and make sure that you have using TMPpro; at the top of your script

1:15 Volume 5:40 Graphics 7:50 Fullscreen 9:15 Resolution

My GOAT, 6 years later and all of this is still helpful

as always, your channel has been a big help to me and my projects!

@ 11:45 - 12:13 try this line instead: string option = resolutions[i].width + " x "+ resolutions[i].height +" @ " +resolutions[i].refreshRate + " Hz"; This will populate the list nicely with refreshRate information intact edit: not sure yet how to apply the refresh rate as well.

You can also save all theses values in the PlayerProperties for load the settings each time you change or restart scenes

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for today. Keep up the awesome work man. Thank you.

Thank you brackeys, this is so much easier than the way I was trying to accomplish it!

For anyone with troubles in build where the options can get duplicated in the dropdown; this is in fact not a bug, it is due to the varying refresh rates available. Unity editor has a consistent 60Hz, but when an application is built, there can be multiple differing rates between the same resolution. A fix can be just adding the refresh rate to the option: string option = resolutions[i].width + " x " + resolutions[i].height + ", " + resolutions[i].refreshRate + "Hz";

If you see the bar in the MainMixer go up and down but the volume doesn't change you have to add: public AudioMixerGroup mixerGroup; in your AudioManager script and then inside the foreach(Sound s in sounds) after the s.source = gameObject.AddComponent(); you have to put s.source.outputAudioMixerGroup = mixerGroup; after that open the MainMixer icon in your assets and drag the "Master" inside the public mixerGroup in editor!

I almost never comment on videos but dude you just saved my programming project!

Thank you for the tutorial! This is much easier than I thought it would be!

I couldn't stop laughing at the start of the video! Nice look Brackeys :)

For everyone who gets the same resolution on the dropdown even if they already changed it: This happens when on window mode. The Screen.currentResolution will get the 'desktop resolution' instead of the game's current resolution. To fix this, simply change: ` if(_resolutions[i].width == Screen.currentResolution.width && _resolutions[i].height == Screen.currentResolution.height) ` TO ` if(_resolutions[i].width == Screen.width && _resolutions[i].height == Screen.height) ` If you didn't get it, change "Screen.currentResolution.width" to "Screen.width" (and also height) during the if statement on the for loop. This will get the game's current resolution. God Bless and Happy Coding! =)

Best tutorial i have ever seen about unity's ui. Nice.

if brackeys doesn't have a tutorial on it, it can't be done. this guys saved me so many headaches

Hi! Thanks for your video! I've got something you might find useful. Instead of this: if(resolutions[i].width == Screen.currentResolution.width && resolutions[i].height == Screen.currentResolution.height) You can use the Equals method: if(resolutions[i].Equals(Screen.currentResolution)) It compares objects and returns true, if their fields are equal. Hope it might help someone to shorten their code!

Please make a tutorial on how to map controller input.

Dude u are so great, I love these tutorials, gonna pass my uni degree based on half of this stuff 😂😂 keep it up 😍

Everything works perfectly and so simple! Thank you so much, with this video today i built the game for the first time.

remember to Increase volume on "Audio Mixer", and add Output -> Master to your "Audio source" component... :D

To people like me who's having trouble with the volume here's something that works: public AudioMixer audioMixer; [SerializeField] AudioSource audioSrc; public float Nvolume = 1f; void Update() { audioSrc.volume = Nvolume; } public void SetVolume(float volume) { Nvolume = volume; audioMixer.SetFloat("volume", Nvolume); }

Brackeys, thank you so much you really have helped me learn a lot by doing this, thank you so much man you're the best!

Thx bro you always been there helping even tho you gone now you still helping people

can you make a tutorial on how to save these settings when the game gets closed? would this also apply to other things in the game (lives, unlocked levels, etc.)

For those whose volume doesn't change after using the slider, add this to your code: AudioMixer audioMixer = Resources.Load("MainMixer"); AudioMixerGroup[] audioMixGroup = audioMixer.FindMatchingGroups("Master"); audioSource.outputAudioMixerGroup = audioMixGroup[0]; Also, you have to go to the audiosource component of the audioclip you want to lower the sound of and change the output section to Master(AudioMixer).

Great tutorial Brackeys!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks. This stuff is pretty easy but it's nice to see you do it!

So I know this is an old video, but the Graphics dropdown only actually works when my mouse is hovering over the Quality section in the Project Settings tab

Make Tutorial about when you press esc you can resume game,quit,and option

Honestly, without your tutorials i would never finish my game. BIG THANK TO YOU!

i had issue with my text being crisp and clear in the editor but blurried when building the game , this totally fixed it AND it wasn't even related to that LOL! thanks brackeys you the man

dat christmas hat tho :D

To fix the bug with repeat resolution you need to disable the extra support for the aspect ratio in the player settings. After that, the bug with the rotation resolution will be lost. P.S. sorry for the bad english. People need it in the top!

it's so insane. I just made a game in the 2-week holidays because of you? Thanks so much stranger. I mean god brackeys =) haha

just saw this tutorial and implemented it! new patreon member incoming !!!

Does anyone has the same bug with builded version in resolution dropdown, where some resolutions are duplicated? You can see same in video (16:23) 720 x 480, 720 x 480. Btw thank you for your professional work, you are awesome:)

on Low Quality my Images and Fonts are the same quality as in High. How can I change this?

This tuturial is very completed. Thank you so much!

Thank you, that is the greatest Christmas present! :-D Exactly what I've been waiting for :-D

sorry but i have a problem when my option menu is loaded after playing one scene, it gets to default..(which is high)

if anyone has errors in their script, try this: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.Audio; using UnityEngine.UI; using TMPro; public class SettingsMenu : MonoBehaviour{ public AudioMixer audioMixer; public TMP_Dropdown resolutionDropdown; Resolution[] resolutions; void Start () { resolutions = Screen.resolutions; resolutionDropdown.ClearOptions(); List options = new List(); int currentResolutionIndex = 0; for (int i = 0; i < resolutions.Length; i++) { string option = resolutions[i].width + "x" + resolutions [i].height; options.Add(option); if (resolutions[i].width == Screen.currentResolution.width && resolutions[i].height == Screen.currentResolution.height) { currentResolutionIndex = i; } } resolutionDropdown.AddOptions(options); resolutionDropdown.value = currentResolutionIndex; resolutionDropdown.RefreshShownValue(); } public void SetResolution (int resolutionIndex) { Resolution resolution = resolutions[resolutionIndex]; Screen.SetResolution(resolution.width, resolution.height, Screen.fullScreen); } public void SetVolume(float volume) { audioMixer.SetFloat("volume", volume); } public void SetQuality (int qualityIndex) { QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel(qualityIndex); } public void SetFullscreen (bool isFullscreen) { Screen.fullScreen = isFullscreen; } } (the text mesh pro is only if you are using it)

The best tutorial ever. Thank you for being such a big help.

Can't wait for you're MAKING OF Ludum Dare video!

For those of you getting several of the same resolutions in your resolution drop down, you can get rid of them by going into Edit, Project Settings, Player, Resolution and Presentation and find the Support Aspect Ratios, then untick 4:3, 5:4, and other. You will no longer have the smaller number of resolutions but you won't have any duplicates. The lowest resolution you can then choose is 1280 x 720 (or at least it is for me). If you need something smaller, you may have to do some coding or live with the duplicates..

The Ultimate Game UI costs now😭

omg, i have learned so much in 17min, dude i love your work :D

Amazing tutorial, helped me get through volume slider and graphics options, thank you

5:36 For some reason, when I drag the handle, it either goes to 0 or -80 but never in between P:

No offense to you Brackeys

That was an amazing tutorial! Congrats for it and thank you for that! Would you be planning on creating a save/load system any time soon?

Thanks for the amazing Tutorials dude!

1:03 was free, feelsbadman

Merci beaucoup

I just subscribed to this channel and thinking why didn't i do it before its the best! you teach the best way

the best channel i learnt from it for ever

for some reason i see 4 - 8 of the same resolutions when i use the dropdown, fixes?

when i use the slider the audio mixer changes but the sound does not increase or decrease at all

Thanks! Now the people can choose which quality they want in my game and this is super easy! Great Tutorials!

Again thanks I did this like a year ago and completely forget and this is so helpful ♡

That dynamic float argument is missing from my functions list in the editor. How to write it manually in the script?

Nice tutorial, but I am a bit surprised that it didn't touch upon the volume slider being logarithmic (due to it being tied with the sound in dB). The way it is showcased here, you get a very sensitive slider, which is not very user friendly at all

It actually works now! Thanks to Brakeys.

Still the greatest source of info on internet

Can yo make a video on character selection/customization?

I have ALWAYS wanted to make a rhythm game! Like those Hatsune Miku Diva games for PS4. However, it seems really complicated with how to make it all works. Can you explain the basics for a rhythm game? - How to force press of certain buttons, multiple buttons, timing rate (cool, fine, sad, worst etc), keeping a combo/breaking a combo, hold notes and etc. You would really be of help! :D

my game has so many bugs and i was so frustating that never things worked but i watched this video, everything worked and now i am motivated to keep going on my game;)

You are the best, Brackeys !!

Thanks for the tutorial I'm getting the following error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object SettingsMenu.Start () (at Assets/UI/Scripts/SettingsMenu.cs:20)

hmm, I did everything like you showed in this video and my master volume changes with volume slider, but music in my game doesn't change at all (and other sound effects as well)! That is very weird and I am stuck 🤔

THAAAAANKS TEACHER BRACKEYS

Thank you so much for the points on this game design class assignment
