You need 150 enemies, grab them from the pool. If there are non left, spawn a new one.

When the enemy dies, put it back into the pool.

[dire spindle]

only this part is hard and im working on it for a couple of time

[torn galleon]

Hi. Is it normal that when I enable the terrain (no trees or anything), it takes more than 3.5 ms more to generate the frame...? Is there a way to reduce the terrain's impact on performance please?

[pure igloo]

so...i noticed one thing. while making the spline, i thought that the spline knots would make it such that the mid point of the duck would be present on the knot, instead, it's the head of the duck which is present on the knot. is there a way to somehow offset it?

[dire spindle]

i'll try it

thx

[sly lake]

Sounds normal. Nothing in this engine was intended to be streamed.

[balmy kettle]

your pivot point on your sprite is likely off

[pure igloo]

oh yeah...it's off, it's its head

[balmy kettle]

that is what is considered the "mid point" of your object. you need to adjust where the pivot is

[torn galleon]

oh...then what can I do to create a more performant terrain? Any suggestions? I don't really need up close detail as it is a flight simulator, so I need a huge terrain but I don't know how

[sly lake]

I just leave them enabled at all times

If that doesn't fit in memory, you could bake them to meshes and stream the textures on that.

Not caring about the 3.5ms spike is also viable though 😅

Hate to say it but that's a single frame drop at worst. It's not something people will notice.

[torn galleon]

no no, I mean like it takes 3.5 ms constantly, not as a spike. Like it is reducing the performance a bit too much imo

[sly lake]

What's the pixel error value?

[torn galleon]

5 is the pixel error value

[sly lake]

That's fine

3.5ms seems a bit high for terrain. How many terrains do you have?

[torn galleon]

it might also be that there are a lot of terrains

255 small terrains, I don't know where I read that it was better to have them separate into smaller parts

[sly lake]

Oh that's definitely too many

[torn galleon]

how do I reduce the count but with them still being rendered far away?

[sly lake]

You'd have to re-create bigger ones.

[torn galleon]

like this is the difference between terrain and not terrain

[sly lake]

Is this 3.5ms in the editor?

[torn galleon]

hmm okay, how many should I have in total more or less? Or is there a way to make it so the further the terrain is, the bigger it is?

[torn galleon]

yes

[sly lake]

Try in an IL2CPP build

Might not even be an issue at runtime

[torn galleon]

oh okay. Thanks

last time I tried IL2CPP a lot of things didn't work tho, but I'll try. Thanks

[balmy kettle]

also consider using the profiler for more accurate measuring of performance issues

[sly lake]

The only thing that doesn't work is System.Reflection.Emit

[pure igloo]

i reset the pivot and saved it. then i delted the sprite renderer component from the gameobject and added it back again with the new sprite in question. it's did not change the pivot at all

[torn galleon]

I tried, but I honestly don't know what to look for for rendering profiling😅 (this is disabling the terrain, that's the down spike)

[torn galleon]

I do use System.Reflection, but I'm not sure if I use System.Reflection.Emit, I'll check, thanks

[balmy kettle]

if i had to guess, then i'd say you either didn't actually save/apply the change, or you are editing a different file 🤷‍♂️

[pure igloo]

i saved it

ctrl save, apply changes everything

😭

[balmy kettle]

wdym "ctrl save"? did you click the save button in the sprite editor?

and no, i don't mean "press ctrl s"

[ivory moat]

The extra empty space doesn't affect the pivot right?

[storm patio]

it might if you use autoslicing

[pure igloo]

when it was unedited before, the pivot was set at the duck's head, then i manually repositioned it to its stomach

[ivory moat]

So the pivot shown by the editor is the original pivot point it had automatically set?

[pure igloo]

no, i repositioned it

[ivory moat]

Repositioned it which time? I might have not said that right, but I mean the pivot point shown in the second image here, not the sprite editor.
Or did you reposition it once before to where it shows there?

[pure igloo]

when i opened the project, the sprite pivot was set at its head(in the scene and in the sprite editor), like in this pic.

then i went into sprite editor, and repositioned it to here

[ivory moat]

But it's still acting as though the pivot was set here

[pure igloo]

exactly

[storm patio]

make sure your tools are on pivot mode rather than center mode

the head is in the center of the sprite, so if it's in center mode the gizmo will be placed there

[pure igloo]

this thing?

[storm patio]

nope, in the scene view

there should be a box in the top left that says pivot or center

[pure igloo]

oh ya it worked thx

[ivory moat]

Does that fix the original issue as well?

[pure igloo]

the duck is staying in the path hehe

[naive estuary]

Now i have much more problems to fix.

[strong fable]

how do I spawn a camera and write the world normals of everything that camera sees to a rendertexture? I've read about RenderWithShader and it apparently isnt supported in urp and I have no idea how else to achieve this.

[torpid wadi]

hey is anyone else seeing this error message in the Event Browser of the Unity Analytics dashboard?

[plain dagger]

What do you need this for? Urp can optionally make a normals texture even when not using deferred

Otherwise you may want a custom pass to perform this job

[strong fable]

I'm playing around with a rain system and I want to spawn rain impact vfx at the correct height using depth (which is easy to get) and at the right angle so it splashes differently depending on the angle it hits. therefore I need normals which are hard to get

[plain dagger]

But having normals in a texture would only help for screen space rain

[strong fable]

if I spawn a camera looking straight down that captures the entire play area that gives me the normals for all the surfaces from the direction (which the rain will also fall from)

I dont need those normals updated. spawn cam, snapshot the normals, reuse

thats why I'm unsure about a custom pass cuz they run all the time (I think?)

[plain dagger]

Hmm right. I forget if or how we now do a render "now" for a camera with override materials.

[vocal heath]

How to change 3d pivot btw

[balmy kettle]

either make the mesh a child of an empty object which you position as the new pivot or you modify the mesh in your 3d modeling software (ie Blender) to adjust the actual pivot

[viral hill]

there are tools on the asset store that can do this for you

[latent lake]

is the grayish circle to the right the pivot point?

[vocal heath]

Unity should natively allow this it would be very nice i was having hissue with the terrain generation when i was trying to generate structures i tried changing pivot in blender but i think some kind of precision error is coming in unity editor

[sly lake]

Unity just uses the vertex coordinate data

[grand bison]

HA
I managed to figure out the animator component with no tutorials
gun animations work

I'm going up the world

now what do I do if I were to add a view model (assuming it's rigged) to the animations

if anyone has an answer, please ping me.

#1390346776804069396

[storm patio]

make sure you didn't check in anything you weren't supposed to

you did use the unity gitignore, right?

[glass kraken]

hi, my player has a reticle UI image, I'd like to make it bigger when it's on an interactable item, I've a good interacting system that works, it simply calls a SetInteractScale(); function when the raycast hits an interactable item and else{SetNormalScale();} here's the script that has those functions: https://paste.ofcode.org/3aiewaVavgf5yAbCndqFGQ8

the problem is that the reticle doesn't scale anymore

[viral hill]

doenst scale anymore? so it has in the past?

[glass kraken]

yes

yesterday it was working, now that I just opened my project It doesn't work

[south summit]

IDK if this is the correct channel but....

[viral hill]

add more debugs to your code

@glass kraken

contact the staff using @karmic maple

[glass kraken]

I did add one which made me sure about the problem either comes from the script I've just sent(logic wrong) or it' s an issue with the UI image/ canvas in the setup, but I don't know about those..

[viral hill]

you mentioned a raycast as well. debug that too

[glass kraken]

well there's no need

the raycast is for the player to interact with objects,I tried to interact and it works, and if the debug in the other script gets debugged, that means the first one calls it meaning it works lol

[nocturne remnant]

How to setup movement with animations?
a function/Script should only do one thing, so if i am moving jumping character using one script then setting animations in it too.
if i press jump, i do anim.setBool(jump,true)
whats the better way?
it gets confusing cuz its in middle of other code too

[glass kraken]

@viral hill please help me,I'm really stuck and confused...

[mellow violet]

what is gameJam guys ?

[stuck flower]

Make game in time limit

[mellow violet]

ooo i see and any rewards ?

[modest meteor]

1 million dollars

[stuck flower]

Ask whoever's running it

[sly lake]

For the Unity game jam? No.

[sly lake]

Oh weird

Could've sworn they said no prices earlier

[inland river]

effectively 10k

[deft rock]

Pro licenses feel like such a non-prize (unless you're an indie studio taking part).

[inland river]

the real question this year is, how many awards will code-monkey get?

[sly lake]

Yeah, Pro isn't worth much these days if you qualify for Personal.

Still, it's something

[tall hearth]

Curious if the license is like 5 codes or one code with 5 seats (ie if you were a team of 2 you could have 2 years worth)

[plain dagger]

The good stuff from paid licenses is premium support and engine src access

[inland river]

licenses are all per-seat, there is no floating license

you can manually float it

[tall hearth]

Are they? Wouldn't know ive never paid for one

[inland river]

suppose they mean to give everyone in the jam-team a license, not just one of them

[stuck flower]

I think the idea is basically "If you made something cool enough to win this jam, here's the licenses to turn it into a full-fledge game"

[tall hearth]

Engine src access as in you get to read it or as in you get to edit it?

[inland river]

nobody gets edit-source access

even if you have source access, its not exactly easy to actually get even read access

[plain dagger]

Read for sure but I think you can modify and recompile the editor but I forget if that is something extra

[tall hearth]

Was asking cause what'd be the point in reading the code if you cant edit any of it

[sly lake]

Oh it'd definitely be helpful

[plain dagger]

Its useful to see the src but if you have premium support you can get actual help with issues and bugs

[inland river]

premium support isn't that useful though, the only semi-useful support is by hiring one of the success consultants.

which also drains you bank account - fast

[deft rock]

I tried to cover that with the bit in brackets

[stuck flower]

Yeah, not quite as useful if you're already a major studio, but if that's the case you've probably got better things to do than smurfing in a game jam

[plain dagger]

I don't know how quickly tickets get responses (only used it once) but they have the power to find work arounds with bugs and such

[inland river]

possibly, it just not something accessible to indie game studios that dont already have a massive hit

[deft rock]

I'm pretty sure there is a level where you can get source access. The devs who made Inside did a talk about the development of it, and they mention having source access and having to change something to fix/ improve/ whatever (I forget, I saw it years ago)

[sly lake]

Yeah, a few studios do

[inland river]

we have a source license, but we can't just download the source code

[uncut ridge]

its perfect and hi guys

[plain dagger]

We had a presentation with unity to tell us about it but I never got to see the src 😢

[inland river]

imo unity is one of these engines where, when you make a game that needs engine changes, you should be using a different engine anyway.

[plain dagger]

Tbh thats true but I guess the option is there for the customers who want it

[mild radish]

if ur needing something the engine doesn't handle i would assume ur in the realm of making ur game from teh ground up anyways

[sly lake]

Yeah I'm in the process of developing one for my next project.

I'm happy I at least ran into Unity's limitations hard enough to know exactly what I need from an engine though 😅

[inland river]

go make your own SRP and and use DOTS for everything, that gives you more power than any engine otherwise available, from the raw technical capability... but its so much work that it will likely never pay off

[mild radish]

SpawnEngine v0.1 *coming soon

[mild radish]

but you can view it?

[sly lake]

This is another approach I considered, but when I'm replacing most of the engine, what am I paying Unity for? A DX12 driver?

It's not like the editor is exactly ideal for me either

[inland river]

techincally i can request read-access if i can provide a valid reason

[inland river]

if the editor platform isnt useful to you, not much, some asset plumbing maybe, bunch of SDKs and integrations.

[sly lake]

It's not non-useful but it does get in the way a lot

[inland river]

its certainly more painless to publish to consoles via unity than via godot

[mild radish]

ohh, okay that makes sense..

and i bet w/ that license you get pretty immediate support

[inland river]

just a regular industry license

[inland river]

immeditate support comes from actually knowing people at unity that have something to say 🙂

technically, if you make adequate community content (via yt etc) you should get some form of more direct access.

but i doubt anyone who doesn't make millions in revenue will get any kind of real priority

imagine you'd get priority by your helpfulness on the unity-discord. that would be a novelty.

[sly lake]

Just support yourself

[inland river]

thats the best plan

be the expert yourself, i heard you can even get paid for that 😛

[mild radish]

computer rec time comes only after a solid accomplishment (works for me)

Hello everyone 👋 Hope you're all having a marvelous day!
I've been adding and testing Script Templates for a day or so
I'm almost 99% certain it's using the Monobehaviour Script I have highlighted above..
but ❔ I've been wondering *is there's a way to change what file the Editor uses when you create a script via the AddComponent Inspector * button..

[tall hearth]

Shocked people actually make new scripts this way

But fair question, i also started working on making scripting templates recently and was curious how to mame them show up at the top with monobehaviour

[mild radish]

been using my own templates for a while here lately..

Shocked people actually make new scripts this way
^ I don't very often.. but theres times when im working on a large object (w/ many pieces) and its times like those where I may use the AddComponent just so It'll have it attached automatically and I wont need to lose my place and go down thru the hiearchy to attach it..

yea, im more curious than anything.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I also noticed while working in the Script Templates that these two menu items are the same thing

[is there's a way to change](#💻┃unity-talk message) what file the Editor uses when you create a script via the AddComponent Inspector button.. but anywho if anyone knows ping or reply.. (its not super important.. i'll just keep it in mind)

[tall hearth]

Quite a few, oh do you know of any way to add scripts that i can use to inherit from like the Monobehaviour.
ie i have a script teamplate that inherits a class that doesnt exist in the unity library

[mild radish]

if ur talkin about script templates.. the only things i can think of is having a hard-coded reference in ur template
where u have already added the base class to the project..

// DEPLOY
using UnityEngine;
public class #SCRIPTNAME# : SpawnCampBase

the other way would be a bit jank...
where you could do something like:

public class #SCRIPTNAME# : #BASECLASS#```
where you'd have an editor script that replaces the placeholders
```cs
       string scriptName = "NewClass";
       string baseClass = "SpawnCampBase";

       template = template.Replace("#SCRIPTNAME#", scriptName)
                          .Replace("#BASECLASS#", baseClass);

[tall hearth]

Ah alrighty so what i had done was curious if there was a "proper" way, ty though.

[mild radish]

🔗 https://github.com/SpawnCampGames/SpawnPocket/blob/main/PocketScripts/Editor/InheritanceScriptCreator.cs
-# edit: A text prompt to name the script during creation would make it even better.. just threw it together.. and currently it'd be a pain to immediately right-click to rename the filename and then go into the script to rename the class as well..

[mild radish]

lol.. not sure its proper.. but it works 🍻

[elder haven]

In FPS games, the guns - are they usually multiple models or 1 model?

[vivid cedar]

every game is different

[elder haven]

And how would you normally go about animating it? Would you create a rig for it or animate each individual part (ie, magazine, grip, etc)

Mmmkay

[vivid cedar]

I think in most cases people would rig/animate it the same way you do any other 3d model

but since they're mostly made of rigid parts you can probably get away with manual animation using separate renderers if you really want

[elder haven]

What do you mean by seperate renderers?

[vivid cedar]

not sure how to be more clear about that tbh

separate GameObjects

each with a MeshRenderer

[elder haven]

Ah right

But usually they would be just 1 3d model?

[vivid cedar]

yeah I don't see why not

[elder haven]

and I assume the magazine would be seperate, since it has to be removed?

[grand bison]

I love spying on this channel so if someone gets their problem fixed, I won't have to worry about asking for help in the future.

ahh thats true thats true..

[grand bison]

exactly

[glass kraken]

but he's running....

[grand bison]

I just look when im bored lmao

[balmy kettle]

well not only have you not shown code, you've definitely not shown any proof that the specific line of code is running

[mild radish]

you can actually get alot of inspiration from just browsing around.. 👍

[grand bison]

what

[glass kraken]

https://paste.ofcode.org/33QTTL3rTwMBC6yAbYQJkvm ,

[grand bison]

please make a scripts folder, holy bloat

[balmy kettle]

now show how you verified that the method is running

[glass kraken]

I forgot to make one but to be honest I don't like to be super organized, it's not that I don't like it but it doesn't change anything with me

[grand bison]

the more you build your game the more stuff you have
make folders and stay organized or it'll become a where's waldo book

[mild radish]

t: script has you covered

[grand bison]

and that ig

[fallen goblet]

Anyone knows what this is, i downgraded from a rtx 2060 to a gtx 960 as i broke my gpu fan, the game took like 12 hours to compile as if it was the first time now it gives me this and doesn't compile

[mild radish]

some people work in the heat of passion..
scripts get all willy-nilly..
then on some of the calm days.. you can go in and reorganize 🤪

[glass kraken]

well the script contains a lot of interactions and when I enter playmode all the interactions work apart from the notes interactions , if you want I could you show a record, so you can be sure I'm not telling assumptions

[tall hearth]

Somehow i doubt you'll ever land a job in game development with this type of ideology :/

[mild radish]

lots of shader errors 👀

[glass kraken]

ty so much,I didn't know about this

[mild radish]

same thing works for Materials, etc

[balmy kettle]

"i'm not telling assumptions"
and yet you're not actually verifying anything so yes, you are making assumptions again. and i'm done helping you.

[tall hearth]

Love that a folder would have had them covered from the start though

[fallen goblet]

im just so freaking exausted, this thing breaks out of nowhere, the scenes randomly turned white and emissive, now this

[glass kraken]

sometimes, I make folders for everything, sometimes I don't but yea I mean everyone has his own way to work

[fallen goblet]

and gpu is brokie

[mild radish]

true true.. i just try not to critique peoples work-flows.. especially if they're solo

[grand bison]

I got folders in folders when it comes to the script folder lol
ocd-ish when I organize lol

[tall hearth]

Gendering people to a "he/him" wow

[grand bison]

what

[tall hearth]

Fair fair i normally dont care either but this just hurts to look at

[mild radish]

im an organizational freak.. ironically

[grand bison]

what matters in the end is if the player enjoyed the game, this would be only problematic if they enable version control for building with other people... or ask for help here

[tall hearth]

Well another problematic case is if players liked the game, got promised for future updates, game became a development hell and those updates never came

[grand bison]

some developers might have horrible organizing and still update their games
it's about muscle memory sometimes when it comes to knowing where something is

[glass kraken]

man?? I'm sure about what I'm telling you, sorry if you think I don't care or simply don't want to find the answers/solutions to my problems, that might be my way to talk,I'm not used to talking with people, and when I tell you the script is running, it's because I'm sure, those might be assumptions from your point of view as you can't be sure, but it would be a waste of time sending you my whole project setup with everything in it., the only time I was wrong was with the animation clips that were swapped but it was really a dumb mistake from me,I didn't think the "close" animation clip would in fact be an open one,I'm sorry, I really appreciate your help and I try my best to make you able to help me.

[grand bison]

everyone has their own workflow

[mild radish]

imo ya'll just focusing on unnecessary evils.. its very rare you'll need to peep their project directory to troubleshoot something.. if they're not giving you all the pieces to help simply ask for relevant pieces.. or just let someone else 🫠
and all the "what-ifs"...

[glass kraken]

what do you mean

[mild radish]

wild comment.. since its typically thoughtless slang..
"hey guys!" 👀 he just didn't... he... ?!

[tall hearth]

You said "but yea I mean everyone has his own way to work"
Just pointing out that not everyone is a he

[glass kraken]

is that incorrect to say in english?

or is that some sexidk what bullshit

[grand bison]

English is probably not his first language

[tall hearth]

Yeah you'd use "their"

[tall hearth]

Fair point -w-

[plain dagger]

native speakers mess up their there they're too

[balmy kettle]

when someone asks you how you have verified something you need to actually verify it and not just assume it's running because you think things are running. clearly the object is not getting enabled which means the mostly likely reason is that code is not running. so PROVE that it is running with empirical evidence. don't just do nothing and think it is running

[glass kraken]

yes my bad, english isn't my first language, everyone makes mistakes

[mild radish]

ur fine mate.. lol

[grand bison]

I commonly mess up the words in, on, and at

[mild radish]

yup.. people are asking for verification for a reason... it'll likely cut out a big chunk of unnecessary problem solving @glass kraken

[grand bison]

true

[mild radish]

assumptions are the worst during game-dev

[tall hearth]

One i hate seeing messed up is "a" and "an" (mainly in spelling)

[grand bison]

ah nah
they become muscle memory at this point
really annoying to mess them up

[plain dagger]

english has rules and also breaks them 😆

as a brit, sorry

[grand bison]

I hope we focus on unity talk and not languages ^^

[glass kraken]

if I have a script that opens 2 doors, if one door works well but the other doesn't, can I be sure the script is running? I've thought yes but maybe I'm too dumb and it's wrong

[mild radish]

if only there was a simple way to print something out in the console letting you know it is..

[balmy kettle]

alright, if you're just gonna fucking argue about actually verifying the code is running then i'm 100% done helping you

[glass kraken]

yea...

[grand bison]

deep breathes bro

[mild radish]

legit crashout

[stuck flower]

No

[grand bison]

it's tedious yes but not that serious

[stuck flower]

One of them could be

Literally just put in a debug log. It should literally have been the first line of code you wrote

[balmy kettle]

useless interjections like this are not needed.

[stuck flower]

That's all you need to do

[grand bison]

mine or his?

[balmy kettle]

no, but digi didn't you see? they know their code is running because reasons

[mild radish]

confirming the script is running is simple as adding the debug to the Start() method..

[glass kraken]

I'm not arguing, I just want to learn, I've always thought if something works in a script, that means the script is running, maybe I'm wrong and If I'm, I'll opt for another way to ensure the script is running and I'll stop making assumptions,I've answered using my actual capabilities, the best thing I was able to do...

[balmy kettle]

yours

[mild radish]

Start() or Awake() or OnEnable() or even in the Update() to spam a little bit (it'd still let u know its running)
once the script is confirmed to be running. just move the Logs to the Methods your expecting to run

rinse and repeat

[grand bison]

sure?

[glass kraken]

one of the scripts?

[stuck flower]

One of the instances. The one that is working is probably running

We don't have any info about any of the others

[glass kraken]

and regarding the logs, I've already some logs in my script

[mild radish]

of the one thats being troublesome?

[grand bison]

I think I'm gonna head back to my German lesson

[glass kraken]

so half of the script might be running while the other might not?

[stuck flower]

So you should probably say what you're logging, where you're logging them, and what they print

[mild radish]

i would also like to know ☝️

[stuck flower]

Who knows? I can't see your screen

[glass kraken]

yes, but it's a global question, to understand, nvm anyway

[balmy kettle]

there is a single Debug.Log call in that code and it is in an unrelated part of the code. so no, you are not doing any useful logging

[glass kraken]

if this log gets debugged, the rest of the script might be not running?(not arguing just trynna learn because I was almost sure about it)

[stuck flower]

And it's a question we literally can't answer without information

[balmy kettle]

this isn't just a matter of "make sure the script is active". i specifically asked you to verify that specific fucking line of code that you are saying isn't working is running

[stuck flower]

If you get a log, everything in that function up to the point the log prints is running

[glass kraken]

ohhh okay, that changes what I've understood, I'm really sorry

[balmy kettle]

it's literally what i've been saying this whole time.

[glass kraken]

welll yes exactly that what I thought

[glass kraken]

well, I'm really dumb,I'm sorry,I didn't understand it this way

really sorry man

[mild radish]

if you have a system of code.. some code relying on other code
(perfect example being a raycast with a if/else chain)

dont just debug at the very end.. and then expect to know the reason its not working when it doesn't get called..
b/c theres abunch of other places that could be stopping it from making it to the end.. and you don't really know unless you're aware of what the code is doing.. and how far its gotten..

its best to log every step along the way.. this way you can Easily see where it stops...
you can then pinpoint your energy in troubleshooting why it stopped there..

• what condition failed
• what condition should be met but isn't
• what variables exist that aren't resulting in the outcome you assume will happen..

-> go to those variables and see why they are the way they are..

[balmy kettle]

this is a pattern of behavior at this point. "verify this specific thing is running" "i don't want to because i feel like it is because something else is working so that must be too"

[tall hearth]

You know the only way to be sure something is running is by seeing it run, the best way is a Debug.Log("text here");

[mild radish]

ooohhh.. yea.. thats more than just code problems.. 🫠

[strong fable]

does a rendertexture of type RenderTextureFormat.Depth provide Linear01 depth values?

[mild radish]

this could have been solved 4 times over by now w/ simple Debug.Logs();
-# jus sayin 👐

[glass kraken]

yes okay, from now on I'll debug everything

[mild radish]

yes!!

EVERYTHING!!! (if ur having a problem)

[tall hearth]

Fr got an if statement add a debug inside saying it passed, and add an else giving the values of that if to see why it didn't

[mild radish]

if ur not having a problem.. theres no need.. thats just silly

[glass kraken]

fr

[tall hearth]

Wdym i love outputting Debug.Log($"horizontal value: {HorizontalValue}"); every frame

[mild radish]

hell, if it helps.. collapse those iches

[glass kraken]

just saw it now once again, I don't know why you're the only guy I'm not able to interact with correctly, It's absolutely my fault, I've always been the problem...

[grand bison]

ya Allah what is this 😭

[mild radish]

lmao.. dont use that code btw 😄

it literally console vomit

[grand bison]

are you using visual studio? if so, can you send me in DMS that code colour pallete or whatever it's called (I think theme?)

[mild radish]

[grand bison]

are visual studio code extensions also available for visual studio?

[mild radish]

some, im sure of..

[grand bison]

alright ^^

[uncut ridge]

✋ 😑 whos know?💀

[sly lake]

Nope. Completely different applications

[grand bison]

[tiny sonnet]

Anyone familiar with the Particles System able to help me... understand it? I'm trying to create a burst effect but for some reason it keeps varying the amount of particles actually made, well under the Count i put in. I assume I'm missing some setting somewhere that'd affect this? But I'm at a total loss

[sly lake]

Max particles is 1000 by default. Could you be over it?

[potent geyser]

This is how you burst, removing the rate over time and setting a count.

If your count is less than the max particles, it won't go above.

[tiny sonnet]

Even with arbitrarily large numbers of Max, I'm still getting 0-2 particles with a count of 4. should I send a screenshot?

[tiny sonnet]

yeah, looks more or less like this. 1500 Max, Count of 4, all other settings identical
Are there settings that might restrict or not render some of the particles made? Like Shape restrictions or something?

[potent geyser]

Have you changed any of it? Try with with a fresh system and only change the emission to see?

[mild radish]

fun fact, not sure ive thought about it. but you can save a layout and have the search bars populated n they get saved along w/ the layout file i guess.. ❔ neat-ish lol

[tiny sonnet]

I'm at a loss. I set Count to 1, set Duration and Lifetime to both .5, and let it loop- occasionally, there will be no visible particle made, but the little Particles box over the scene still maintains a constant count of existing particles as 1, so I have to conclude I'm just getting invisible particles sometimes and have no idea why. And this is from a fresh Particle System

[potent geyser]

Where are you putting these particles?

[tiny sonnet]

wdym by where?

I have found my issue and as is tradition I feel very stupid but now I just want to ask more so I understand. When I was first experimenting with the System, I put the texture of The Particle in the Shape section, because I didn't understand that Shape manages the... emission pattern? I don't really know, but it's not the particles' shape. I had left this texture there and removing it fixed it, but what exactly does a texture do in that section?

[strong fable]

can some math wizard explain to me how I can convert a normalized directional vector into euler angles?

[fleet warren]

Hey so I have a shader graph that makes this flashlight beam and it’s brighter at the base than the tip but I want to flip that. Anyone know how by chance?

I can give a better picture of the graph parts if need be

[strong fable]

one minus

[fleet warren]

Tried that

Just like deletes the shader

Put it between the divide and saturate nodes

[stuck flower]

Do it as literally the last thing

[fleet warren]

Between that and alpha?

[stuck flower]

For whichever one you want to invert

[fleet warren]

Yeah…I don’t think that worked unfort

[strong fable]

can u edit the uvs or are they used for smth else?

easiest way of doing it while also having a smaller shader graph would be a uv projection unwrap from the side

[fleet warren]

Forgive me for being stupid, but do you mean to flip everything z-wise?

[strong fable]

I mean doing this

then using v to do the gradient

[fleet warren]

I suppose but I’m not sure I wanna call up Miss blender quite yet, seeing as I have to use this shader again on different objects

Don’t get me wrong it’s a great option I’d just rather keep it procedural if there’s any chance

[strong fable]

does the light shine towards local Z+ direction? like does the cone get bigger towards Z+?

[fleet warren]

The light is brighter towards Z-

The cone is also larger towards z-

[strong fable]

in the picture u provided is the Z+ axis of the cone downwards?

[fleet warren]

Oh my god I’m making such a fool of myself (I’m a student, I’m quite stupid) uhm lemme get you a better picture?

[strong fable]

and it isnt pivot at the bottom or at the top? doing this with object space positions is very dependant on the pivot

[fleet warren]

I’m not sure

I guess I was being stupid bc I think it’s brighter y- than y+

[strong fable]

ur using z in the shader so the cone isnt oriented along y

[fleet warren]

Good holy moly you’re so right

[strong fable]

can you select the cone, have the gizmo thingy be in local space and gimme a screenshot of that

[fleet warren]

What’s wrong w me

[strong fable]

depending on how the mesh is oriented maybe nothing lol

[strong fable]

is this set to pivot or center?

for you

I'm gonna need pivot

[fleet warren]

Center

Got it hold on

Pivot

[strong fable]

alrighty simple fix. just use the y of the position node you've split

[fleet warren]

I wish it was that easy, it still looks wonky

Might call it a day and head to unity assets

[strong fable]

nah you got this. whats it look like now?

[strong fable]

fiddle with the beam length

should be equal to the size of the cone

[fleet warren]

Yep that was the issue, I’m gonna try a one minus now

[strong fable]

you should just get rid of that one minus u already have

[fleet warren]

Or I should get rid of the one minus I already have

[strong fable]

great idea!

[fleet warren]

Omg I have such great thoughts

[strong fable]

as ur dealing with object space lets say the tip is at y = 3. dividing that by the length (3) gives you 1 so the light is strongest up there. right at pivot level y = 0 and diving that by 3 = 0 so no light

[fleet warren]

Aha, I love when math

[strong fable]

love it when it works (its always maths fault never mine)

[fleet warren]

Stupid math, acts like it rules the world or something

Okay thank you so much, got it from here

[strong fable]

very good :) have a good one

[potent geyser]

Nope

[strong fable]

is there a setting I am missing or are some nodes in vfx graph impossible to find? I always copy paste the velocity from direction and speed node from an old graph into the new one cuz I cannot get this thing via the search

where is it

[hybrid fjord]

Started the Unity course Create with Code, and for Lesson 1.2 chapter 6 when the ridged bodies are added, the video shows the vehicle to continue in a straight line, but my vehicle hits the crate and starts swirling around in the air. Like it hits the crate and gets knocked off course and starts spiraling out of control. Ive double-triple checked thee code and everything is exactly the same.

[balmy kettle]

did you increase the mass on the rigidbody like the instructions said?

[oak meadow]

Do kinematic rigidbodies pass through colliders

[balmy kettle]

yes. kinematic bodies are not affected by outside forces, including collision related forces

[radiant pewter]

idk what they did but the "Browse Channels" thing is basically unuseable - it keeps jittering and moving frantically when you scroll through

in the discord*

anyone else got that problem?

It might be something to do with formatting

[balmy kettle]

yeah seems like it's related to some channels have long descriptions with multiple lines

[hybrid fjord]

Ah, well I did now increase the mass. But is there any reason why it still goes off course, unlike how the video shows. Not sure if that matters too much though.

its not flying around in the sky anymore, but doesnt go straight.

[balmy kettle]

what did you set the mass to?

[hybrid fjord]

vehicle 100, and the crate 20. BUT seeing he has it set to 1000 and 20, I forgot a 0... man I didn't realize it made much a difference.

[fair cove]

Does it make a difference if you use the ampersand & symbol instead of the word "and"? Looking at your first screenshot that seems to be the difference in your search and the node name - it also looks like "set" is not a part of the actual node name

[gusty topaz]

I think ive gone crazy

for SOME REASON, randomly when i open my project ALL the UI elements get changed to have their positions set as (Nan, 0, 0). I have github version control and not a single file has ben changed since it was fine. this makes absolutely no sense, and I cannot continue to fix this every time

If I can't find a fix for this, I might honestly abandon the project

[strong fable]

typing just velocity lists (presumably) all velocity stuff and its not there either

[south summit]

ANYONE? It's a Crouch problem (but not the one what you think)

[balmy kettle]

fun fact, you might have gotten a response nearly 3 hours ago when you posted that in #💻┃code-beginner if you had provided literally any context instead of a video where you're just wiggling your mouse for the first half of it

[south summit]

Me?

The mouse part are for indication

Xd

I think you wrong the msg

[balmy kettle]

you aren't a toddler anymore, you can use your words

[south summit]

No, you linked the wrong msg

I think

[balmy kettle]

i didn't link any message. i linked the channel you originally posted that in (the one your message says it was forwarded from)

[south summit]

You didn't answer me, you answered and helped another user

After my msg, even there is no reply to me

After and before

[balmy kettle]

i am aware of that. and again, that is because you provided no context and your video was mostly just you wiggling your mouse.

[stuck flower]

And they're telling you directly why

[south summit]

My context is that I'm making a crouching system, okay? I managed to perfect it (or so I thought) because I'm using Mathf.lerp to crouch and I made an object or ceiling detector above the head to avoid the classic bug of being trapped inside

[gusty topaz]

so what's the issue? is it still getting stuck?

[south summit]

Now, thanks to that math glitch (purely my suspicions), my player is trying to crouch and is pretending to vibrate, since thanks to my detection he can't do that, but I want him to stay at the same crouching height

MY ENGLISH is a dog sh**

[south summit]

No but it's trying to get his normal height

[balmy kettle]

you should seriously give a look at #🌱┃start-here so you know what to provide when asking for help rather than expecting everyone to play 20 questions with you until we get any information

[south summit]

Like changing constantly the crouch height (is 0.6f) to 0.8f 0.758395f

[south summit]

No but my problem is too specific (even tried the Google search)

[south summit]

It's shifting constantly

[balmy kettle]

if it is so specific then it should be easy to determine what you need to provide and how to describe it

[south summit]

Without over passing the ceiling but still scaling

[south summit]

Ok, now to the point

You know how to help me? Or not?

The description is at the video too

*the visual happening

And with this description of words is right

[balmy kettle]

i don't intend to play 20 questions to get more information out of you, so no i will not be helping. see #🌱┃start-here for what you need to include when asking for help

[south summit]

OHHH GOD

Thanks for nothing 👋

Soo why did you replied me if you not know?

Or not will?

I already provided you with the 100% of the info and more

[balmy kettle]

well i hoped that you would get the hint to provide useful information. like, i don't know, maybe some fucking code?
but you don't want to do that so 🤷‍♂️

[south summit]

It's most a joke the case you don't understand what I'm talking

[south summit]

Yeah I know

[stuck flower]

So where did you post the code

[south summit]

But a thing you should know

[south summit]

I will, wait

[south summit]

You are comparing me like a 6 years old

[stuck flower]

So you didn't provide all the info and was waiting for someone to prompt it

[south summit]

That doesn't even know what's a d*MN var

[gusty topaz]

ohhhhh brotherrrr

[south summit]

No, the script is the only thing I didn't sent

[stuck flower]

Which is basically the single most important thing to finding out why the code isn't doing something

[south summit]

What's a float variable?

[gusty topaz]

: |

[south summit]

I told my possible suspect, the Mathf.lerp

[stuck flower]

What lerp

you didn't post code

[south summit]

How can I open the editor code

[fair cove]

I really think your misunderstanding the point of his message

[south summit]

Just wait a moment, I need to do smth quickky

[balmy kettle]

i've already blocked you, mate. you can stop trying to harass me with pings

[south summit]

I'm having dinner

[gusty topaz]

how did you make the code if you dont know how to open the code editor...?

[balmy kettle]

they're just throwing a tantrum like a toddler, they don't actually mean that

[stuck flower]

Why do people asking for free help out of the kindness of strangers see fit to make it as hard as possible to help them

[gusty topaz]

fr

[stuck flower]

Like, the easier you make it to solve the problem, the more likely people are going to want to actually do it

[gusty topaz]

has anyone experienced this problem before / have any ideas for this btw?

[balmy kettle]

that's definitely not something that should be happening. could be an editor bug? what version are you using?

[stuck flower]

nan usually means division by zero. If it's just UI that's doing it, it's probably something to do with anchoring. Do you have scripts that change their anchored positions? There might be a time while stuff is loading that their width is 0 and that's long enough to break the positioning?

I think if your anchors are based on screen size, the screen loads in at a size of 0,0 before expanding out to fill the screen, so dividing by width somewhere could be causing a problem

[viral hill]

I remember seeing this same problem before. I'm not sure how it was solved, but if you search this server for keywords I'm sure you'll come across another thread of someone with the same issue

[gusty topaz]

no, and It isnt during gameplay, it just happens every once and a while when I open the editor itself

[gusty topaz]

2022.3.25f1

[balmy kettle]

i'd consider at least updating to the last patch for that version

but also are you using any UI related assets? I recall one asset i used a while back did some weird stuff when a scene was loaded. it was a michsky asset i think

[gusty topaz]

so all I have is a UI camera with a canvas underneath, with a bunch of UI images on there, and they are all just sprites I made myself

[balmy kettle]

okay so no asset then. try updating to 2022.3.62f3 then

[gusty topaz]

im seeing people have had this problem before in this server, but I dont see any solutions found btw

[fair cove]

Is there a different UI package version you can try testing with?

[south summit]

This is the crouch code (it's a screenshot bc Im not at PC right now)

That's why the bad quality

[gusty topaz]

activates ultra-squint

yeah my vision sucks I cant read that

[south summit]

Ahhh damnit

You can see it clearly what does means?

COME on XD

[copper gust]

its a really shit screenshot

i swear this is ragebait

[stuck flower]

obviously you don't want it solved so why should I?

[south summit]

Not to be rude, but it's starting to bother me

[slow dirge]

Even if not full code, you should share it properly as text(or rather code) and not as a screenshot.

[gusty topaz]

what, your lack of ability to provide sufficient information and then blame us?

[south summit]

I don't understand. I just come here, explain the details, and show the problem, waiting to hear what's going on, and now they're asking for my personal information?

ok its a joke example

alright

[slow dirge]

You're the one needing help here, so if you wanna get it, you should comply with the community norms/rules.

[south summit]

ok but its understood on screens?

even i shared a video

come on again

[south summit]

LOOK

[stuck flower]

Surely you understand that a searchable, copyable text document is easier to work with than a goddamn picture

[slow dirge]

It's inconvenient. For example for people on mobile. Or for people that want to quote some code parts.

[gusty topaz]

"explain the details" bud we had to basically interrogate you to even get your full code, like you cant come in here expecting us to read your mind and get mad when we dont

[slow dirge]

You want to make it convenient to help you. Otherwise no one is gonna do it for free.

[stuck flower]

The fact that I have to explain this demonstrates you literally do not care about courtesy or anyone else's experience and just want a code-slave

[south summit]

I'm not asking you to read minds, I'm just trying to understand how you handle things here. Can nothing be spontaneous?

[stuck flower]

Why make it hard to help you when you are the one who wants help

[south summit]

ok, can we go back to the issue?

[gusty topaz]

thats uhh... thats why the rules are like... clearly stated in the channels labeled for rules and guidelines

Yeah no idea what's up with it other than it's probably a division by zero related to the width but if it's not your code doing it, then I don't know how to fix it

ok so you all know what im talking about here right?

[slow dirge]

If you still want to get help, I recommend starting a thread in #1390346827005431951 including all the details of the issue and that the shared code.

[south summit]

is without character controller

ahh ok, see ya

and help TacoCat

[south summit]

can you reiterate?

[gusty topaz]

wha-... n-no..? what do you want me to reitterate, find a synonym for goodbye?

[south summit]

the problem 😮‍💨

[hushed hamlet]

I skimmed what you shared... there aren't a lot of reasons a canvas will become scaled to NaN, especially if you have no magic lerping code or plugin.

You could check it all in source code. When the issue happens, you should see it in the meta file changes. But my best guess is something (autosized to text, a canvas scaler, something is bugging)

My gut instinct, assuming you aren't messing with it or having a plugin mess with it - is a bug in your unity version.

[hushed hamlet]

It might be time for a custom pipeline importer. What's your goal with the texture?

Like, trying to auto unpack it from an FBX, or auto create material if it finds the texture etc.

I also tend to use Better FBX Exporter which has some better texture export options. Not always better for rigged models though...

[fleet warren]

Like I have a whole node system

Do I have to just give up on that?

[hushed hamlet]

Ah bc the nodes don't export and you have to manually apply things to export the texture?

[fleet warren]

Exactly

[hushed hamlet]

Im trying to think how I handled it last time.. I think I just used glb instead... but its been a while. I do most of my texturing in substance or instamat now.

It might not hurt to ask in blender source discord too. I imagine this is an all FBX export issue...

[fleet warren]

Let me look into baking stuff

heyo people! could it be that the 6000.0.58f2 update to fix CVE-2025-59489 disabled loading libraries with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES? Things like BepInEx just aren't working anymore on MacOS...any alternatives?

[tall hearth]

Hey all, getting a weird collider issue. I have a fast moving car and a player with box colliders, and OnCollisionEnter is firing for a collision between the two when they're quite far apart. This screenshot shows the exact frame the two collided at, with the red line being the collision point. They're clearly not touching. Anyone know why this happens?

If the player walks into a stationary car the collisions work as expected, its only when touching this fast moving one

[still stone]

Where's the centre points for each parent gameobject

[slow dirge]

Are you using dynamic RBs with interpolation and continuous collision detection?

[sand kraken]

I was, setting both the player and car to Discrete seems to have fixed the issue 🙂

Why does that happen with continuous detection?

[slow dirge]

It predicts the movement of the object. It's likely that both were moving fast enough that they would actually collide by the next update. Collision is detected in fixed update, so it's not always in sync with the visuals.

[sand kraken]

Ahh I see

[slow dirge]

Discrete doesn't do that prediction, so it's less precise, detecting collision only after the fact. Which might result in objects visually intersecting. As well as miss detection entirely if they move past each other within one frame.

[sand kraken]

Is there any good middleground? I've got high speed cars hitting players in my game, so both precision (at least to the degree shown above) and not intersecting with the car are pretty important.

[slow dirge]

Continuous is the way to go. They only reason you got that inconsistency is probably due to pausing the game manually.

[slow dirge]

The ray cast position indicates that from physics perspective they were totally colliding.

[sand kraken]

It's visibly an issue, that's how I caught on in the first place. You're noticeably far from the car when the collision happens

[sand kraken]

What do you mean? The colliders themselves were like 2.5 units apart

[slow dirge]

Then I'd make sure that you're using interpolation on the rb and that it is not broken.

[slow dirge]

No. That's the collider gizmos outside the physics system. Physics system has an internal state for each rb. You can't see it. You only see the last state applied to transforms.

[sand kraken]

I see, so I should have both Interpolation on and Continuous Dynamic?

Or speculative, I'm not actually sure the difference

[slow dirge]

Yes, and make sure that interpolation is not broken.

Dynamic

[sand kraken]

Why would it be broken?

[slow dirge]

Speculative is cheaper, but it's not precise

[slow dirge]

Due to moving or rotating the object in a physics incompatible way.

[sand kraken]

With both the cars and the player on Interpolate and Continuous Dynamic it's still got the issue of hitting quite far away

[slow dirge]

Then perhaps interpolation is broken.

[sand kraken]

🫠

Honestly Discrete works pretty well, good enough for my purposes

Occasionally the player glitches into the car slightly but it's not common

Better than being hit from 2.5 units away haha

[slow dirge]

If they move fast enough, they might not collide at all.

Often happens with bullets missing moving targets.

[sand kraken]

The cars are pretty big, I assume that wouldn't happen due to their collider size

[slow dirge]

Despite them physically going through.

[little smelt]

Guys, I have a question, I am new to animating and game designing in general so would it be better to rig animations which use multiple objects (Example: Object 1 grabbing Object 2) in blender or in actual Unity?

My current way of approaching this was doing animations in blender exporting them in different animations and then adjusting them to be executed properly in Unity.
I just wanna know what way I should do.

[distant shell]

can anyone help me out with exporting a blender model into unity

Anyone know how lenient the licensing is on Philippe St. Amand’s Kinematic Character Controller is? On the Unity Asset Store it’s standard licensing but him working with Unity officially now and I found what seems to be similar stuff on his github under Unity Technologies

Curious because I’ve altered his implementation a bit for my preferences and i’d like to put it into my little prototyping package directly

I figure vibe wise it’s a non issue but it would be nice to have official approval

[still stone]

Best bet, find his contacts, email him

[copper gust]

Honestly fair

[pure igloo]

is there a way to change unity documentation page to dark mode? using dark reader makes it look weird at best.

[storm patio]

i don't believe it has dark mode built in

it's been brought up quite a few times

[sly lake]

Maybe there's a custom CSS somewhere

This, for one: https://github.com/SmorcIRL/Unity-Documentation-Dark-Theme

[pure igloo]

this sounds dumb, but like...is there a documentation on how to read the unity documentation

[sly lake]

There's three parts to it:

Manual

Has randomly organized articles on different engine systems, just use a search engine
DuckDuckGo: !unitym

Scripting documentation

Provides code documentation for the entire scripting API, divided by class. Has a ton of usage examples too.
DuckDuckGo: !uscript

Package documentation

Utter chaos, I don't even know where they are half the time. Quality is highly mixed

[ivory moat]

The part about package documentation is so accurate, I have been trying to learn Netcode for GameObjects with basically only the documentation so far and it's so incomplete

[tender thicket]

Ooof yea that happens to me sometimes too, usually i just go to #💻┃code-beginner and ask the peeps there for some more clarity

[lapis gate]

I somewhat would disagree but mostly because it's much more well structured than other Unity docs lmao

[pure igloo]

i don't see UnityEngine.Splines

[sly lake]

Yeah, that's a package 🙂

[sage basin]

it's a package

[sly lake]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.splines@2.8/manual/index.html

[sage basin]

(open the package manager and click on the documentation link for the package)

[pure igloo]

ah shiiiiiii

i am back at the start all over again

what is t supposed to be in splines and how do i even get an instance of it onto the variable

[sly lake]

!unity splines will get you there, eventually 😄

[ivory moat]

It's well structured in some aspects, but compared to something like the physics documentation where you can find every possible method and tool etc

[ivory moat]

t in a spline is just a float from 0-1 that is how far along the spline's length you are

[sly lake]

The component is a SplineContainer - splines themselves are not components, but data. For performance reasons.

[ivory moat]

You could think of it like a percentage progress

[pure igloo]

i do get that it's a percentage progress, what i don't get is how i can get to access it.

like... float t = Splines.gett or smth

[sly lake]

Doesn't make sense

The spline only contains the knot data - what are you trying to do?

[pure igloo]

trying to find out what the tangent at a particular knot is to apply flip animation

[lapis gate]

The only problem really I've had with package docs is just having a shit ton of methods thrown at you with zero description at all (I'm looking at you textmeshpro)

[ivory moat]

My best guess would be to use GetNearestPoint (which gives the nearest point on the spline to a world point), use the world point of your object's transform, take the t value from that, and use that t value in EvaluateTangent

[inland river]

You need to sample the spline at t.

[sly lake]

Keep in mind, GetNearestPoint is unbelievably slow

[pure igloo]

[sly lake]

And not thread safe

[ivory moat]

Is there an alternative?

[sly lake]

Sample at T is faster

GetNearestPoint is basically a search algorithm

[inland river]

Manually sampling at intervals, caching and then an optimized lookup into that cache

nearest point search is precise, and you may not need that precision

Typically a spline is converted into a chain of poly-line segments to become useful at runtime.

[ivory moat]

I think from @pure igloo 's situation (with context from a different question in #💻┃code-beginner earlier which I still remember) we can be sure that the object will be located on the spline (since it will be moving back and forth along the spline)

Does that change anything?

[pure igloo]

make me understand this then. what the hell is GetPositionTangentNormal even. is it a field, a sub-struct or smth else and how do i even access it

[sly lake]

Eh, doesn't look like what you want

[pure igloo]

if Splines is just a an array...why is it even in this

[inland river]

It’s a data object used in some other method

[ivory moat]

You would still want EvaluateTangent instead I think

[pure igloo]

doesn't matter, i am trying to understand how to read the documentation

[sage basin]

it's a struct

[sly lake]

These are calculated values returned by some method somewhere

[sage basin]

that implements IJobParallelFor

[pure igloo]

apparently, the thing i sent implements the same interface

[ivory moat]

where is the documentation for sample at t? I've been looking through the page but can't find it

[inland river]

Start at the top https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.splines@2.8/api/index.html

[sly lake]

Well, you have the component, which is SplineContainer

So I'd start looking there

[inland river]

how about not starting in the middle, understand the package architecture and design first

[sage basin]

well, it's literally shown on that page as in SplineUtility

[ivory moat]

wait was that in response to me? I'm on the SplineUtility page but I don't see it under Methods

[sage basin]

then you need to look harder

[pure igloo]

my eyes are gone

even after this

[ivory moat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.splines@2.8/api/UnityEngine.Splines.SplineUtility.html I'm doing a control f for sample and it says no matches

[sage basin]

the method is not called sample

[ivory moat]

what is it called then? the only info I got was this message

[sly lake]

🙂

Read the quick start

[sage basin]

Evaluate, it's the method that's used on the quickstart page at the top level of the docs

[ivory moat]

I found Evaluate now, (under SplineContainer not SplineUtility), but I don't see how it can be used as an alternative for GetNearestPoint

[sage basin]

It's in both, and as the Quick Start says, use the one in SplineUtility.

It's not an alternative, it manually evaluates the spline once, there's no more to it than that

[ivory moat]

You're right there is one under SplineUtility that I now can't believe I missed, thank you

[pure igloo]

guys i am so lost, what am i supposed to do even. i don't understand anything

[ivory moat]

But I still don't think it does what I was proposing to use GetNearestPoint for
(i.e. get the t value of the object along a spline)

[sly lake]

You were animating something along a spline, right? So you'd do Evaluate(float t) while t animates.

[ivory moat]

@pure igloo how are you animating the object along the spline? Do you have a script for it?

[pure igloo]

using UnityEditor.ShaderGraph.Internal;
using UnityEditorInternal.VersionControl;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Splines;

public class DamnDeseDucks : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    public GameObject Duck;
    public SplineAnimate Spline;
    void Start()
    {
        Spline.Completed += onComplete;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float tangent = SplineUtility.EvaluateTangent<T>(Spline, t);
        Debug.Log($"{tangent}");
    }
    void onComplete()
    {
        Destroy(Duck);
    }
}

this script is attached to the duck

the thing that's supposed to be moving

[ivory moat]

(To clarify I'm not the one asking the original question lol, I'm trying to help)

What part of that makes the duck move though?

[pure igloo]

move to #💻┃code-beginner

[ivory moat]

True

[wise yacht]

Does using transform.parent automatically try to keep world position?

Because when I use it to parent UI to a canvas at runtime after the object was instantiated in the scene, the rotation and scale is massive and all off + the z value

So I'd assume yes

[keen lantern]

Yes, setting a transform's parent through that property will maintain the world transformation.

[wise yacht]

OK so I need to use transform.SetParent(parent, false) to stop the behaviour then

Thank you!

[woeful spear]

When I play the scene and click in Game window, cursor disappears. I remember I could bring it back maybe by clicking right click. But not able to do so now:

I have to switch to some other app to bring it back.

[plain dagger]

Escape will unlock the cursor

[woeful spear]

Ah

[plain dagger]

This is something special for play mode in editor only btw. In a build pressing Esc wont affect the cursor lock/hide state unless you add that.

Hello guys i am a beginner in unity

Can anyone help me to make my dream project

[ocean pumice]

you

[summer bluff]

Yeh but i am not a one man army

I actually cant

Even my laptop is outdated and laggy

And i am a beginner

[ocean pumice]

But you are the one, who should start and learn and come here when you run into a problem. If you got issues with your laptop, there is nothign anyone here can do about it

[summer bluff]

Yeh but i make several time worlds but my assets got corrupt each and every time

Anyways you are right although that will take a long time

I will start with s 2d game then 3d

Going to learn animation first

[ocean pumice]

Its more about the complexity of your mecahnics you want to include than 3d or 2d. You can have a jumping box in 3d which is still fun. Just take whatever mechanic you like to test around. the first games are just prototypes to learn and work towards a bigger project later

I mean asset bundle that’s usually on the market place where u pay like 20usd. Usually the bundle is there a while

It’s got assets from multiple different creators

[deft rock]

Starter Bundle is a very vague name to ask about. If it's one from Unity, a new one will come when the current 'Start Assets' are too out of date it's not worth updating and creating a new one is the better idea. If it's not from Unity, then... same reason and/or whenever whoever feels like it.

You can see when an asset was first published on the store. Click 'Releases' and look at the date under 'Original'

[tender thicket]

fellas lemme show you this gem of a mistake XD

i have no idea why it works but it works so well

[tawdry tulip]

hi can someone help me :3

im a new user on unity

and im trying to make a jump button

idk whats wrong i did everything correctly added the UI script rigidbody and components

[unreal jewel]

wouldn't you multiply the speed value by 0.01f instead of Time.deltaTime, since that's your change in time between callbacks, instead of the delay between frames

[tender thicket]

im not too sure lmao

[unreal jewel]

well, the reason you multiply most things by Time.deltaTime is because it's the difference in time between the last time it was called and this time

here, you're calling it every 0.01 seconds, which isn't Time.deltaTime, it's just that - 0.01

if you yield return null instead, then you'd wanna multiply by delta time

[tender thicket]

im guessing because theres almost no delay between frames Time.deltaTime is essentially acting like 0.01

[unreal jewel]

it's not

it's still the time between frames

but what you're doing there is not tied to the frames

it's tied to your own loop, which gets called every 0.01 seconds

you probably want to yield return null, which waits for the next frame, instead of yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f)

[tender thicket]

oh i see

but i still dont understand how this is working so well considering that last perameter is for the max distance value and not the speed

[unreal jewel]

the last parameter is a speed, it's the maximum speed that it can go

it's the change in your position

[tender thicket]

oh thanks for the clarification

[unreal jewel]

but you still wanna change it to either yield return null or multiply it by 0.01 instead

[strange moon]

Lol

[tender thicket]

send the script and inspector here

[tall hearth]

I dare you try and run this on low framerate

[tender thicket]

cant wait till everything teleports XD (too late tho i gave up and rewrote the entire thing)

[unreal jewel]

i mean tbf what you've got is just a very rudimentary tween

[tender thicket]

a tween?

[unreal jewel]

yeah, it's an object that can animate a value over time

[tawdry tulip]

I'll send via dms

[unreal jewel]

there are a lot of libraries you can use for them

[tender thicket]

and my todo list has extended by 1

[unreal jewel]

my favourite tweening library is primetween, but there are a bunch of others you can use

[tall hearth]

Are these the things the bullet hell games use to have the experience fly into you?

[unreal jewel]

tweens are used for a lot of things

[tender thicket]

what a coincidence that was exactly why i was writing this code

[zealous grail]

i'm having this stupid bug when i'm setting up a humanoid ragdoll and trying to make it stable, every body part follows the rules i set but the chest just falls trough the map

every setting is the same as the rest of the body parts

[unreal jewel]

which could include that

[tall hearth]

Intreseting was curious cause i happen to also be making a bullet hell and animating the experience but i for the life of me couldn't find out how to make it bob first (i didnt try very hard though)

[unreal jewel]

like back up a bit and then move towards you?

[tall hearth]

Yeah

[tender thicket]

make it bob?

[unreal jewel]

well guess what tweening libraries have that too, it's just a back in easing

[tall hearth]

Oh nice

[unreal jewel]

so with prime tween you'd do something like
Tween.Position(transform, player.transform.position, duration: whatever, ease: InBack)

[tender thicket]

would Vector2.MoveTowards(transform, player.transform.position, -1*speed) also work?

[unreal jewel]

well it'd be a lot more cumbersome but sure

a tween you can just call once and forget

[tender thicket]

definitely gonna be using tweens now

[unreal jewel]

and you can give it an easing, which can make it more interesting than just linear movement

[tawdry tulip]

check what the problem is

[tawdry tulip]

and how do I do that?

[random rock]

hi im having trouble tracking the position of my dolly carts position on the track im trying to track it so i can change the cameras priority when it reaches the end of the spline

[unreal jewel]

well what could it be?

[tawdry tulip]

idk honestly.

[storm patio]

the greater than or equal operator is >=, not =>

[unreal jewel]

well why would it not work? there aren't that many options really

[tawdry tulip]

what are my options?

[unreal jewel]

that's what i'm tring to get you to figure out

still gives an error at .m_pos

[unreal jewel]

i'm not just gonna give you the solution straight up, that doesn't teach you much does it

why do I have the feeling that the solution is simple 😭

i already said, i'm trying to get you to troubleshoot it - the problem could be in many spots and we need to identify where it is

[storm patio]

then either that field doesn't exist, isn't accessible, isn't the right type, isn't a field, etc...

you gotta read the error to figure out what the issue actaully is

[tawdry tulip]

and how to I identify exactly?

[random rock]

this is the error it shows me

[unreal jewel]

well you need to figure out where it goes wrong, where what you expect to happen doesn't

[storm patio]

so the field doesn't exist. what are you trying to access? perhaps check the autocomplete suggestions for the correct spelling or capitalization, if that's wrong

[tawdry tulip]

im not getting any errors when I run so it isnt in the script ig so I def connected something wrong

[ivory moat]

Do you know the rubber duck method of debugging?

[unreal jewel]

well what are the potential points of failure, points where it could stop the function from running

[tawdry tulip]

no...?

Ok so I can CLICK the button

but the button doesnt output anything

[unreal jewel]

okay, do you know what Debug.Log() does?

[tawdry tulip]

no?

[unreal jewel]

okay, what do you think it does from the name?

[tawdry tulip]

man I code in python not c# 😭

[tawdry tulip]

is it like print()

[unreal jewel]

yeah

[tawdry tulip]

w alr

[unreal jewel]

what do you usually use print for?

[tawdry tulip]

to print stuff in the terminal?

I usually use it to debug my script in vsc

[unreal jewel]

yeah, you can do the same thing here

[tawdry tulip]

alr w

[ivory moat]

Simple. It's called that because you could sit down and talk to a rubber duck and figure out your problem (Although you don't need to).

Basically, go through your code line by line and read out what the line is doing. Not what you want it to do, but what the line itself does. At some point you will realise that what you just described the line doing is not what you want the line to do, and you've found the problem.

It's one of the best ways to deal with a logic error, as in your code runs fine, but doesn't do the right thing.

[random rock]

spelling seems fine im trying to access the dolly itself

[tawdry tulip]

alr thx good to know 👍 🤗

wait is it the linearvelocity?

[storm patio]

the error is on m_pos, not on dolly. that part is fine

it's m_pos that doesn't exist

[ivory moat]

One more note is that instead of manually reading the line and thinking about what it does, you can use Debug.Log() to output the actual value changes after that specific line, with those tools you can usually find the source of logic errors (Debug.Log just makes it easier)

[tawdry tulip]

I will test that out

[unreal jewel]

we're trying to figure out where the problem is, you need to see when the jump function stops (or if it even gets run at all)

[random rock]

is there a different syntax i need to use cause everwhere ive looked uses the same wording

[storm patio]

and yeah going through docs, that field just simply does not exist. what are you trying to access exactly?

[storm patio]

can you show what you're looking at that says that

[ivory moat]

What is m_pos meant to actually refer to? Since you're using >=1 I'll assume it's a number, but anything with position would most likely be a vector no? And I don't think it's like x_pos since there's no m component of position?

[tawdry tulip]

@unreal jewel I managed to add Debug.log to some parts

m_ is a prefix for members in some conventions.

Are you looking for CinemachineDollyCart.m_Position?

it needs to be at the start of the message

[unreal jewel]

well and at what point does it stop logging?

[ivory moat]

damn, for scunthorpe reasons or what?

[storm patio]

nah, just how the bot was implemented

it'll probably check for wordboundaries anyways so no scunthorpe problem

[random rock]

i think so i was refrencing off of a unity forum post but i think that may have been incomplete codeim just trying to find where along the spline the dolly cart is'

[tawdry tulip]

wait what

wait how

oo there

[tender thicket]

use the services/links

[ivory moat]

I think .PositionUnits is what you're looking for have a look here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.1/api/Unity.Cinemachine.CinemachineSplineDolly.html#properties

[unreal jewel]

well what point does it get to?

[ivory moat]

This code block is really big, use one of https://paste.mod.gg/, https://hastebin.skyra.pw/, https://paste.ofcode.org/, https://paste.myst.rs/ to avoid filling up the chat ideally

[tawdry tulip]

it checks if the button was pressed, then if it actually jumps or not, then checks if its grounded

[tawdry tulip]

are you trying to fish me 🤔

[unreal jewel]

that's not what i asked

im confused wait what 😭

[tawdry tulip]

oh

[ivory moat]

At the top of the message @tawdry tulip

[tawdry tulip]

im not using online interpreters 😭 im using vsc 😭

[unreal jewel]

i asked at what point does it stop logging

[storm patio]

don't think so.

[tawdry tulip]

oh

[unreal jewel]

these aren't online interpeters

[storm patio]

these are not websites to write/run code, they are websites to share code

[tawdry tulip]

it stops logging when A it stops working and B if the if condition arent met

[ivory moat]

I'm guessing you're writing Debug.Log("Some message"), but you can use Debug.Log(variable) to print the value of a variable also. Then check values for isGrounded etc.

[storm patio]

so when you can't jump, you press the button and there's no "Jump function got called" log?

(what was the original question)

[tawdry tulip]

(idk im getting more confused)

IDK WHATS THE PROBLEM 😭 the deadline is tmr and im trying to figure this out for 3 hours im crashing out AHHHHH

[icy citrus]

how long have you been stuck on this problem?

[ivory moat]

really? PositionUnits gives position along spline which seemed to be what they were asking for, it's the same thing as m_Position from the other component as well

[tawdry tulip]

hours :<

im new to c# and unity

[storm patio]

did you read it. it gives units

[tawdry tulip]

usually I use pygame

[ivory moat]

Bro I might be blind
