[wintry quarry]

Do you understand this line of code?
var cardIcon = obj.transform.Find("cardImage").GetComponent<Image>();

think about how you'd change this code to find the image component directly on obj instead of on a child object

you can do it

[acoustic arch]

just getcomponent image

instead of

Find(cardImage)

obj.GetComponent<Image> ?

[wintry quarry]

yes

though if it were me, poersonally

I would replace:
public GameObject InventoryCard; with public Image InventoryCard;

[acoustic arch]

then i can just put in the blank

[wintry quarry]

then your code can just be

Image cardIcon = Instantiate(InventoryCard, CardContent);
cardIcon.sprite = card.cardImage;```

[acoustic arch]

yeah

im only making this to practice inventory/lists so ill try it

[acoustic arch]

it wont let me instantiate since its not an object

[wintry quarry]

wdym

Image IS an Object

what error are you getting

[acoustic arch]

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS0311 The type 'UnityEngine.UIElements.Image' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'Object.Instantiate<T>(T, Transform)'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'UnityEngine.UIElements.Image' to 'UnityEngine.Object'. Assembly-CSharp D:\Unity\Projects\ClickerGame\Assets\Scripts\CardInventoryManager.cs 30 Active

i copy and pasted

obviously

[wintry quarry]

you imported UnityElements

that's the wrong one

using UnityEngine.UI; is correct

[acoustic arch]

my IDE keeps adding them

[wintry quarry]

you did using UnityEngine.UIElements;

[acoustic arch]

well now i have a new error which is technically one step in hopefully the right way

[acoustic arch]

InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
(wrapper castclass) System.Object.__castclass_with_cache(object,intptr,intptr)

[wintry quarry]

make sure you reassign the prefab in the inspector

[acoustic arch]

oh wow im slow

i was wrong and it uses sprites not images

so i switched everything over

Sprite cardIcon = Instantiate(InventoryCard, CardContent); cardIcon = card.cardImage;

[wintry quarry]

that's not right

Sprite is the asset

[acoustic arch]

no?

[wintry quarry]

Image is the thing that displays it

Unless you mean a SpriteRenderer

[acoustic arch]

using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu]
public class CommonCard : ScriptableObject
{
public int cardID;
public Sprite cardImage;
public int cardRating;

[wintry quarry]

yes

[acoustic arch]

is the actual card

[wintry quarry]

the Image displays the sprite

see here

you have an Image component

it has a field for a sprite in it

the ScriptableObject has a reference to the sprite you want to display in the Image component

[acoustic arch]

it wouldnt lemme put anything on the image for public Image InventoryCard;

[wintry quarry]

this is the thing that goes there

[acoustic arch]

and the sprite is the picture

ohh ok i get it

but why cant i put anything in the public Image InventoryCard; ?

[wintry quarry]

you can

[acoustic arch]

it only has

none

[wintry quarry]

you can put an object that has an Image component there

such as your card prefab

[acoustic arch]

ohh

WHOA its working!

thanks

[acoustic arch]

so the cards are duplicating in my inventory when i close and reopen it

im thinking its cause the listitems method is inside when i click the inventory button

[wintry quarry]

well you're instantiating the prefab every time right?

Are you ever destroying them?

A better approach usually is to just reuse the objects

[acoustic arch]

can i just have the prefabs be destroyed when its closed out

[fading slate]

I get no errors in the Vs Studio but when i run it in unity i get ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

this is the code

not that errors at runtime are normal it just means it's a runtime error, not a compile error.

VS cannot detect runtime errors

[fading slate]

https://hatebin.com/yzcdlaosfk

[wintry quarry]

hatebin was meant for the code itself but

[uncut dune]

do u have rigidbody assigned?

[wintry quarry]

this looks like an error in the unity editor/inspector, not in your code @fading slate

[fading slate]

i have it assigned to the ball

i am trying to create a scorezone for pong

[uncut dune]

man double click the error and show us where it leads u

just print screen it

its okay

[fading slate]

sorry i am a bit confused again so i see the error into the console

[uncut dune]

double click the error

[fading slate]

and i double click it but nothing happens

[wintry quarry]

As explained, this error is not from your code

it's from internal unity editor code

double clicking it won't help you

[uncut dune]

thats what I was trynna see

[wintry quarry]

and it has nothing to do with the script you shared

[uncut dune]

exactly

ur code is fine

when does the error happen

and how manny of them

maybe make a vid showing?

[fading slate]

alright i will make one now, sorry if i dont understand things properly also

[languid spire]

it's a UIToolkit error, closing the project and opening it again will fix it

[fading slate]

alright i will do this

[uncut dune]

sometimes just selecting other gameobject on the scene fixes them

[languid spire]

it's a serialized property error, which means a rebuild of the AssetDatabase

which close/open will do

[uncut dune]

guys I need some help again

this error

I thought I had fixed it

 foreach(GameObject enemies in enemiesToBeSpawned.Keys)
                    {

                        }
                    }

in this foreach

Cant I change and item in a foreach

using a dic

[languid spire]

yes you can but you need to use KeyValuePair not .Keys

[uncut dune]

foreach(GameObject enemies in enemiesToBeSpawned.KeyValuePair)

this?

I cant change it

[languid spire]

no

[uncut dune]

where

[languid spire]

foreach(KeyValuePair<GameObject,int> enemies in enemiesToBeSpawned)
then you can use enemies.Key for the GameObject
and enemies.Value for the int

[uncut dune]

I dont quite understand it

[languid spire]

woah, wait, that's not gonna work because the int in enemies.Value is not the same int as in the dictionary

A KeyValuePair is one entry from the dictionary

with both the Key and the Value

[pearl cloud]

Has anyone ripped this shills base code and uploaded it to the dark web yet? Asking for comrades…

[river roost]

Not a beginner coding concept of Unity I'm afraid

[languid spire]

@uncut dune Try this

using System.Linq;
...
        Dictionary<GameObject, int> gos = new Dictionary<GameObject, int>();
        gos.Add(gameObject, 0);
...
        foreach (GameObject go in gos.Keys.ToArray()) {
            gos[go]++;
        }
        Debug.Log(gos[gameObject]);

[uncut dune]

ok thank you

[jovial pilot]

Hey guys, i have a window gameobject. I wanna like rotate freely, example, moving the Z-Axis of the window from current position to value 74 smoothly. How do i do it? I have this code but this is not moving smoothly.

  windows[0].GetComponent<Rigidbody>().transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Lerp(Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -64f), Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 74f), timeCount);
timeCount += Time.deltaTime * 0.22f;

[languid spire]

presumably that code is in a Coroutine

[jovial pilot]

It is in Update 🙂

[languid spire]

post the complete Update method, a screen shot will do

[jovial pilot]

Here you go

[languid spire]

Have you tried Slerp instead of Lerp?

[jovial pilot]

Lemme try slerp one sec

Tried

Still the same

[languid spire]

Can you make a vid of whats happening, your code looks fine, a bit odd but it should work ok

[jovial pilot]

Must i added anything? Like physics or something?

[languid spire]

no

what you have is almost identical to the
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.Slerp.html

[jovial pilot]

Yea scratches head

i don't know

one sec lemme restart unity

[languid spire]

show the inspector of the object you are rotating

[hot sun]

coroutine not working

is there any problem in code?

[jovial pilot]

@languid spire Here you go

[languid spire]

Floor to int will always return 0

[hot sun]

i want the score to just constantly keep increasing

[languid spire]

Look at your FloorToInt call it can only result in 0

[languid spire]

Sorry, should have seen this before, you have a RigidBody so you cannot rotate by changing transform.localRotation
you are combining manual and physics, a no-no

[queen adder]

i dont wanna add this check for everytime i press an input 🥹

[hot sun]

anyone?????

[languid spire]

I've given you your answer!

[jovial pilot]

So if i remove Rigidbody, what should i change ?

[hot sun]

this?

[jovial pilot]

.localRotation to .rotation?

[languid spire]

well, obviouisle the GetComponent, which you did not need anyway

[languid spire]

yes

[uncut dune]

its the mathf.floortoint

why dont u just do the normal multiplication?

[jovial pilot]

windows[0].transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -64f), Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 74f), timeCount);

I've removed rigidboyd and changed to this. Still doesnt work

[languid spire]

define 'doesn't work' exactly

[jovial pilot]

Um, its rotating but i wont gradually stop

It will be like stop to the 74 in a sudden

[hot sun]

like this?
score += (scoreIncreaseRate * Time.deltaTime);

[languid spire]

of course not, that is not what you have programmed

also not what you asked

[languid spire]

still wont work

[uncut dune]

why are u making a coroutine tho?

couldnt u just do it in start method

or maybe instead of using a loop just put it in update

[hot sun]

i want the score to just constantly keep increasing

[uncut dune]

so it will update every frame

[uncut dune]

so everyframe?

[jovial pilot]

My bad, i did say smoothly. Perhaps i forgot to say about gradually stop 😅 So now, i want to ask how do i make it stop gradually?

[languid spire]

just make score a float instead of an int

[hot sun]

yes

[uncut dune]

exaclty

[uncut dune]

can u paste the code here and I'll show u what I would do?

[hot sun]

sure

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using TMPro;

public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public TextMeshProUGUI scoreText;
int score = 0;
public static ScoreManager instance;

// Rate at which the score increases per second
public float scoreIncreaseRate = 1.0f;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    scoreText.text = score.ToString() + " POINTS";

    // Start the score increase coroutine
    StartCoroutine(IncreaseScoreOverTime());
}

// Coroutine to increase the score over time
IEnumerator IncreaseScoreOverTime()
{
    while (true) // Infinite loop to keep increasing the score
    {
        // Increment the score based on the rate and time elapsed
        score += Mathf.FloorToInt(scoreIncreaseRate * Time.deltaTime);
        scoreText.text = score.ToString() + " POINTS";

        yield return null; // Wait for the next frame
    }
}

}

[languid spire]

Ok, you are multiplying by 0.22f, you need to increase this as the Slerp progresses so that it slows down

[uncut dune]

    void Update()
    {
       score += scoreIncreaseRate * Time.deltaTime;
       scoreText.text = score.ToString("00") + " POINTS";
     }

also score should be float

so

float score = 0;

[jovial pilot]

Hmm, its not possible rotate it at a slow speed, and then gradually stop?

[neon stirrup]

can simebody explain to me how to make movemnt for players in 2d platformers

[languid spire]

of course, like I said

[neon stirrup]

hello?

[jovial pilot]

Hmm.. okay.

 timeCount += Time.deltaTime;
``` i changed to this. Its moving as it is but it won't stop gradually. Not sure if its my code or im doing something wrong

[languid spire]

you are not thinking or looking at what I said

[rich adder]

You want someone to explain movement? can't you just google it ..

[neon stirrup]

ok

[languid spire]

float step = 0.22f;
void Update()
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(from.rotation, to.rotation, timeCount);
        timeCount = timeCount + Time.deltaTime*step;
        if (timeCount > 0.5f) // After halfway
           step += 0.05f; //slow down
    }

as step gets bigger so the rotation slows down

[jovial pilot]

I'll try on this.

One moment

[jovial pilot]

Hi everyone 👋 - I am wondering what is the correct way of building a menu system for a game - is it to have a 'scene' for each step in the setup of a game? And is this best to build entirely with UI Builder? Thanks in advance

[wintry quarry]

#📲┃ui-ux

[valid magnet]

Ok thanks

was more from a game architecture angle but I will ask in there

[queen adder]

UI builder! Sounds like a cool stuff i cant have 🥹

[languid spire]

you are missing nothing, it's so full of bugs as to be virtually unusable out of the box

[queen adder]

save me the stress ig, knowing me, id force it to work even though i have other ways to solve a problem

[languid spire]

Even Unity can't get it to work correctly, hence all the Editor UIToolkit errors we keep seeing people posting

[queen adder]

oh i see, so it was also the UI toolkit, yea im quite aware how frequent someone got problems with it

[lavish ginkgo]

how do i close a demo

demoscene

[bleak wadi]

How to name the base class for Projectile and Laser?

[languid spire]

open another scene

It's better than CouldBeAnythingThatComesOutOfTheEndOfAWeaponWhenFired

[queen adder]

that sounds better

[languid spire]

If you think that you have a lot to learn

[ashen ferry]

im trying to draw ray and freezing time to see why the hell it misses the thing I click on if planet itself is moving but ray clearly intersects box collider first before sphere one so now im confused https://hatebin.com/zbtorzaukh

[rich adder]

oh my god this switch lol

[rich adder]

so do you not want to hit the box ?

[languid spire]

That Debug.Log appears to be coming from MouseInput not ClickedOnScreen
The MouseInput code you posted does not have a Debug.Log

[ashen ferry]

whats up with switch and ye if it hits box collider u see in vid it would print BuildingSlotRoot name

but it prints earthroot in console u can see

that should happen if that ray hits sphere collider on earth only

[rich adder]

is the white box a collider ?

[ashen ferry]

I moved out related code

before posting

[rich adder]

those siizes looksus

[ashen ferry]

into its own method but its same stuff

white box is bounding box I think unrelated

actually nvm let me see wtf is that white box lol

oh

thats ui

[rich adder]

well a box collider gizmos is green

so where is the box collider at

[ashen ferry]

not ui

I mean camera

viewport

[rich adder]

can you show the gizmos for the box collider

btw if you wanna pause to debug is better to use
Debug.Break() than timescale (it doesn't effect other scripts from executing)

[ashen ferry]

didnt knew ty

and combined with earth sphere collider

it extrudes and ray intersects it

[rich adder]

are you sure its staying in place in playmode

[ashen ferry]

relative to earth yea

[quaint crow]

is there any teenagers that want to talk about coding with me im 13

and i want to lurn how to code

[ashen ferry]

its kinda off topic tho im more interested in maybe my ray draw is just wrong cause how can it just ignore my collider

I need to compensate click to the side to actually hit it lol

[rich adder]

check pins for courses

[rich adder]

gizmos rays don't care about colliders

[ashen ferry]

its a tool to debug

so I draw the actual ray

[rich adder]

yes but it doesn't stop at colliders

[quaint crow]

ok ty

[ashen ferry]

yea so u see

I have the real ray running in that code I posted yes

and just after that I draw a line using that ray origin and its direction

so I can just assume my real ray is going through exactly that line

[rich adder]

you should draw the ray from Ray.origin to rayhit.point

[ashen ferry]

aa lemme see

[rich adder]

believe that would be a Debug.DrawLine

[quaint crow]

pins?

[rich adder]

if its not hitting the square, the collider might be moving (maybe you have non-uniform scale somewhere and rotating skewed)
@ashen ferry

[rich adder]

mhm

[quaint crow]

ok

[ashen ferry]

yea so my ray bro actually just hits air

[quaint crow]

i couldnt find anything

[quaint crow]

do you know how

[rich adder]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

[languid spire]

Look under Resources in the pinned messages

[rich adder]

yeah thats wierd..

what is scale Root Planet or w/e is called

[ashen ferry]

1 its quite nested with varying scales tho but wtf do I do if that matters

theres no apply transforms or anything like in blender

[rich adder]

it only matters if the scales are non-uniform

it causes skewing on rotation

eg of non-uniform

0.3 | 0.2 | 0.3

[ashen ferry]

oh nah

its aight tho nevermind one of those bugs where im getting cancer trying to figure out and 2 days later it will be something incredibly simple

[rich adder]

fair enough , def keep an eye on collider gizmos while in playmode just in case

[remote lynx]

        GameObject prefab = Resources.Load<GameObject>("Prefabs/PlayerPrefab");
        player = Instantiate(prefab);
```this gives me "the object you are trying to instantiate is null but there is a prefab named "PlayerPrefab" on the assets/prefabs folder

I suggest you read this

thank you

[summer gust]

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with trying to solve fast diagonal movement with an analogue stick

The solution I'm seeing online is:

if (input.magnitude > 1)
input.Normalize();
or using Vector3.ClampMagnitude

This works well with keeping my character from going over the speed limit that I've set, but if I try to adjust the input factor and pass in 0.5,0.5 the diagonal magnitude will still be around 0.7 and it moves faster diagonally because of this

I can't just normalise the input always because the magnitude then clamps to 0 or 1

Any help would be appreciated, thanks. I seem to be missing something, as everyone online is happy with the initial solution but I'm still having issues

[toxic void]

Hi, I want my 2d sprite to rotate to face left, up, right, down through code, but I don't want to learn quaternions for that, which parameter do I need to change to control the rotation on the Z axis?

[fluid remnant]

no need for quaternion, use Euler angles

[languid spire]

or you can multiply the Quaternion by the Vector3 of the direction you want

[toxic void]

What's the difference?

[fluid remnant]

Euler is easier to work with using Vector3, Quaternion struct has a method for it.

[late burrow]

how to store list of lists

it enforces every list to be of same type but i want different types

[queen adder]

you probably need dictionary

[languid spire]

List<List<object>>

[late burrow]

dont i need convert types then?

[languid spire]

no

everything in C# is basically an object

[late burrow]

and how would dictionary work

i think its forced to have 2 types i want more

[polar acorn]

object can hold any variable

Can't really do much with it other than just pass the reference around though

[late burrow]

o right

[languid spire]

you could even do
List<object>
and just fill is with anything you want

[late burrow]

yeah thats what im trying rn

i think thats best solution

[languid spire]

List<List<object>> is better

if all your storing is Lists

[subtle hedge]

how can i take the point of a raycast even if it didn't hit anything

[languid spire]

origin + origin.normalized * distance

[subtle hedge]

didn't get it

 Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, Mathf.Infinity))
 {
     Vector3 pos = hit.point - transform.position;
     transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(new Vector3(pos.x, 0, pos.z), Vector3.up);
 }```in my case how do i implement it

[languid spire]

in your case you dont

[ashen ferry]

whats the legit use case for List<List<object>> if fr like wut

[languid spire]

to store multiple Lists of different types

[subtle hedge]

but i pauses and it dose not looks at the mouse if it dose not hit anyting

[ashen ferry]

yea and what u gonna do when u want to do something with certain list

[languid spire]

you cast it back to it's original type

[languid spire]

you are using Infinity, you cannot have a point at infinity

[oblique torrent]

        int directions[] = Board.Squares[i].pieceColor == Piece.LightColor ? new int[] { 7, 8, 9 } : new int[] { -7, -8, -9 };

used this exact line of code in another project and it was working, whats the problem here

is it cuz im using a newer version of c# or smt

[languid spire]

Exact?
int [] directions

[uncut dune]

how to find the component of an inactive object with a tag?

[fluid remnant]

MyComponeont myComponeont = FindObjectOfType<MyComponeont>(true)

[uncut dune]

but

the there is already

other gameobjects with the same component

I want one with a specific tag

I cant do that

cuz that would be calling the gameobject wouldnt it

[fluid remnant]

yes

why is the object disabled?

just disable the components

this way you can use Tag find

[uncut dune]

it is a slider

I cant just

disable the slider component cuz the object would be still showing

[fluid remnant]

then put it inside a gameObject with tag you don't disable ?

[polar acorn]

Are either of the objects involved here prefabs

[uncut dune]

good idea

[uncut dune]

no, only the object that is getting them

[polar acorn]

So drag in the reference directly

[uncut dune]

I cant drag to a prefab

[polar acorn]

That's why I asked if either of them were prefabs and you said no

[uncut dune]

I said only the object that is getting them

[polar acorn]

In that case, have the thing that spawns the prefab with a reference that you drag in, and then set the variable after you spawn the prefab

https://unity.huh.how/programming/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[uncut dune]

good idea

Hello, I am currently trying to make enemy pathfinding for my game. I have a basic navmesh system working, but I wanted to make it better with a "predictive" system. I followed a Llama Academy tutorial for creating such a system, but when I attempt to run it I recieve an AABB error.

Heres my code:
https://pastebin.com/f3tfMSvU

Here's the tutorial:

video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jkg8cKLsC0
github repo https://github.com/llamacademy/ai-series-part-44/blob/3779343025f1b5218d35b40427a2adc74eae8f69/Assets/Scripts/AI/EnemyMovement.cs#L4

Here's a screenshot of my errors:

I should note that when I just run: agent.SetDestination(victim.transform.position); there are no errors and the pathing works just fine.
victim referring to a class put onto the player (or any desired G.O.)
said victim class also runs a script called PosSpy shown in the pastebin below;
https://pastebin.com/UyRyVFiT

[uncut dune]

make sure whatever is inside setdestination is a vector3

make targetpos

a Transform

and then pass the transform

targetPos = victim.transform;

like this

agent.SetDestination(targetPos.position);

try this

Ive had a similar problem and this solved it but Im not sure why was it, maybe someone else can answer

[wary sable]

the only thing is that targetPos already seems to be a Vector3

Vector3 targetDirection = (targetPos - transform.position).normalized;
Vector3 playerDirection = (victim.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;

float dot = Vector3.Dot(playerDirection, targetDirection);
if(dot < PredictionThreshold) {
  targetPos = victim.transform.position;
}

agent.SetDestination(targetPos);```

since it is defined as a vector3 type, the script wouldn't compile if it didn't contain a vector3 value

if I try to define targetPos as a Transform, then the original definition for targetPos does not work, since you are passing in a Vector3 at the start.

Hey, guys!
All very well?

I recently started learning Unity and I'm trying to make a jump function using the Input System

But I'm having problems, I reviewed the code and input mapping, but it doesn't work, can anyone help me please?

private void OnEnable()
{
    playerActionsAsset.Player.Jump.started += DoJump;
    move = playerActionsAsset.Player.Move;
    playerActionsAsset.Player.Enable();
}

private void OnDisable()
{
    playerActionsAsset.Player.Jump.started -= DoJump;
    playerActionsAsset.Player.Disable();
}

private void DoJump(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
    if(IsGrounded())
    {
        forceDirection += Vector3.up * jumpForce;
    }
}

private bool IsGrounded()
{
    Ray ray = new Ray(this.transform.position + Vector3.up * 0.25f, Vector3.down);
    if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 0.3f))
        return true;
    else
        return false; 
}

Hey, I made it so when an enemy collides with player the enemy attacks the player and it works. But I want the enemy to attack the player multiple times instead of just once. Im using the oncollisionenter2d. How would i go about to make that happen?

[graceful spruce]

This is in 2D btw

Hi I'm currently trying to make a game with similar mechanics to pokemon. Would it be okay to ask for help in this channel or would it be better in some other channel/thread?

[rich adder]

is it about code?

[covert matrix]

Mostly about code, and maybe how to attach them to the game objects in unity

[graceful spruce]

All the script says is that if enemy collides with player then it damages the player.

[rich adder]

ask your question

[rich adder]

OnTriggerStay maybe? or a Physics.overlap, with timer

[graceful spruce]

Can i use the oncollisionstay?

Im not on pc so I cant check if that works or not

[rich adder]

sure but you're only dealing with the outer edges when using Collision instead of trigger

so they should always make contact

[graceful spruce]

ooo

Okay I'll try the trigger thingy tomorrow and hope it will work, another question is if i want it to deal damage every like 1 sec or 0.5s how do i do that

[rich adder]

using a bool condition + timer in Update

or Better way is using a simple Coroutine

[graceful spruce]

👍 alright, thank you

[covert matrix]

I'm currently trying to transition between the overworld (where the player moves the character and interacts with npcs), and the conversation (which is the battle in pokemon) on the condition that the player presses the interact button while colliding with an npc. So far when the player interacts with the npc, a dialogue box appears. Then I'd like to move back from the conversation to the overworld when they pick the last correct option.

So question is how to make those two transitions? any help is appreciated

[rich adder]

An option would simply have the Convo part to be done in UI

show a dialogue gameobject you can change dynamically, depending the npc or w/e

[covert matrix]

the convo part is a multiple choice with a button that does something different for each choice, would that still apply?

[rich adder]

yeahh

you can re-use the same button for different method/scripts passing the reference around,
Adding/Removing 'listeners'

[covert matrix]

hmm sorry im a complete beginner, could you explain further on how to do that?

[stiff obsidian]

I have an issue. Say I need different tutorial images for a different scene. If the player is still holding down a key from the previous scene (because my game doesn't need any loading screens, so that is bound to happen), the tutorial is skipped as the game detects a keypress and thinks the player pressed a key. How can I circumvent that?

https://gdl.space/ehibopazaz.cpp

[rich adder]

maybe a timer / "cooloff" period

[stiff obsidian]

Do you think I'd be able to ignore the input all entirely? Or is a cooldown the best solution?

[rich adder]

You would keep for example 3 buttons referenced in 1 main script you can access any time and map different methods to those buttons and listen for clicks.
Learning how UnityEvent works would help you here

[covert matrix]

thanks for the help, ill try to figure that out

[rich adder]

you could, how do you want your inputs ignored ?

[stiff obsidian]

I want to check to see if the player is holding a key one the first frame and ignore that key entirely until they stop pressing it and press it again/a different one

[rich adder]

maybe store the key inside a variable and use that inside a check ? psuedo : if press anykey and is not storedVariableKeycode

or just if(Input.anyKeyDown && !Input.GetKeyDown(myKeyCodeVar)) //do stuff;

kinda ugly tho might create other issues, probably better to approach what you're doing differently

does anybody know how to fix this?

I literally haven't touched my project since last time and it was working fine

just woke up to this

[ivory bobcat]

Press clear?

[neat bay]

How does that fix the error

[ivory bobcat]

Unless you've done something this could be a false positive and clear or resetting the editor may quickly fix.

[neat bay]

Nope, there's definitely an error

Currently its causing my game object in my inspector to look like this

[ivory bobcat]

Well, it's got to do with reflection and the mesh simplification controller, good luck.

[neat bay]

Lovely

[oblique torrent]

operator “==“ can not be applied to operands of type “Color32” and “Color32”

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure they're the same type - could be referring to Unity's and another.

Or maybe color 32 doesn't have an overload for the equality operator

[wintry quarry]

Believe it or not it seems to be the latter https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/94bcde1a7e8af4cc3212d756bf59632b979517f2/Runtime/Export/Math/Color32.cs#L59

[jovial pilot]

Hi guys, i have a question on rotation. I have an object where i am rotating the Z axis. How do i have the mid point or 75% of the arc/rotation marked as ?? I'll be glad if anyone can help me out. Thank you 🙏

I am using values.
Example A val = 255, B val = 50

[rich adder]

iirc Lerp could do it , and u can pass in 0.75f

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.LerpAngle.html

[jovial pilot]

i used lerp, but lerp will choose the shortest route

sorry, you mean, quaternion lerp?

[north kiln]

I am unsure how you don't get the shorter angle, there must be some third variable to indicate why you want that particular direction

[obtuse lodge]

im attempting to trying to produce a cube on a specific face of another, then again on the cube created in the first action. does anyone have any ideas?

with the new starting point always being the end of the most recent iteration, the length and thickness always being the same based on the text put in the given field, and the number of iterations based on the number of letters

it feels very complicated, and im sorry to ask so much

[jovial pilot]

Weird.. its not suppose to look for nearest path?

[north kiln]

Quaternions are always interpolate the shortest part. Math.LerpAngle is designed to do the shortest lerp in euler angles (0->360), and normal Math.Lerp just interpolates between two numbers, and knows nothing about context

[jovial pilot]

I see

anyway, why is it returning in decimal when i do this Debug.Log(gameObject.transform.rotation.z);? Is it in radian?

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/quaternions/members

[jovial pilot]

ok tq

[jovial pilot]

Why is my gameobject transform rotation Z in inspector shows -49.427 but when i Debug.Log("Rotation " + transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.z);, it gives a different value such as 310.57? Am i doing something wrong?

[north kiln]

Read the note on that very page

[jovial pilot]

i am using euerAngles

[north kiln]

Yes, I understand

The note is talking about angles read in code differing from those in the inspector

[jovial pilot]

and what i dont get it is, inspector is giving different value as what i debug

[north kiln]

Did you read the note?

[jovial pilot]

yes

[north kiln]

Then what's confusing about it? The inspector values are user authored. The values returned from eulerAngles are derived, and go through a transformation

When scene as a complete rotation with all angles, the result is the same

but individual angles are meaningless without the full context of the rotation

[jovial pilot]

Okay, so i believe we need to go for the ones in the code itself since it is more accurate ?

[ivory bobcat]

They're both the same angle interpreted differently

[north kiln]

Depends completely on your implementation, I give suggestions in the note

[jovial pilot]

noted

Alright thanks guys 🙂

https://gdl.space/murosubebe.cpp
I wrote this is code as a system to equip different skins inside my game, but the value isnt being saved across playthroughs
Anyone know why

[slender nymph]

you're not actually using the value you get from PlayerPrefs. you call PlayerPrefs.GetInt but don't store the value anywhere

[stoic pike]

doesnt player prefs set int store the value?

[slender nymph]

i mean store it in your code to use in your code. GetInt returns the int, but you don't put that returned int into a variable

[stoic pike]

Guys, How to destroy a gameobject when it is triggered?

[slender nymph]

Destroy(gameObject)

[vestal valve]

Simple as that ?

[eternal needle]

that likely will not be what you want to do exactly but 🤷‍♂️ you havent really described what you're doing

[vestal valve]

Not working
the coin should disappear when the player hits it

[slender nymph]

what have you done to make sure that OnTriggerEnter is actually being called?

[queen adder]

can we add another option here ?

[vestal valve]

Oh my god,
wait a sec
Should I place the function in "Update"?

[languid spire]

no @vestal valve

[queen adder]

menu items maybe?

can we add another option in here?

test

[vestal valve]

Then?

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[languid spire]

I suggest you answer @slender nymph question

[rich gazelle]

check a few things

1. Your gameobject has a collider set to trigger
2. you have that script attached to the said gameobject
3. you have Destroy(gameobject)

• edit: check if you have rigidbody on gameobject

[rich gazelle]

If this still doesn't work I suggest you show a example / screenshot of what you've done

Easier for us to help

[vestal valve]

I'm sorry but I don't understand.
I thought this code will apply when any gameobject triggers it, and it executes the code

[slender nymph]

and again, what have you done to make sure it is actually being called?

have you tried any debug.logs? have you used breakpoints? or have you done nothing and already run out of ideas?

[vestal valve]

I'm sorry, there was no mistake in coding, its my eyes, I just checked for "is trigger" toggle.
But never looked out the "collider"

[dark berry]

Happens man, good stuff that you figured it out!

[main karma]

hello, I want to create a platform system where I can specify the number of instructions the platform needs to make, and them configure and set each one from the editor w start/stop time, also the action between rotation or movement.
how do I get the editor to update dynamically with the number of instructions so I can set all of them (without adding a different script on top and modifying that one)

I was thinking of making the basic movements and their configuration and then having a manager script specify the script count for each platform and then configure them from there

[queen adder]

So uhhh, I just started with code, went to edit it, and I need to open it with something, is there a specific application I can use that's made for this stuff?

[honest haven]

can i change what way a slider fills. i.e would like the start to be top right

I've never used sliders like that but wouldn't simply rotating it work ?

Or scaling it negatively if you want to "mirror" it

[honest haven]

thanks i used rotation. thought maybe it had the option built in the component

[vestal valve]

hey a quick question
If I use "Instantiate", The game object gets spawned once. Is there any shortcut to spawn multiple times or Should I type the code again.
(Excluding the loop functions)

[frigid turtle]

(Well again I'm not sure, maybe there is, I've never used it 😉
But if rotation works, I guess you don't need to look further 🤷 )

Hi. I am trying to find a way to add +1 to my battery counter when i collect a battery. I cant figure it out in a clean way of code. I've managed to get it to work by making a separate script that has a void start +1 that will enable once i collect the battery hence giving me +1 but i really dont like this method. any help please

[slender nymph]

so you know how you've got that interaction event? you can create a method on the desired class that you call from the interaction event and that can increase the count by 1

[silent valley]

I played around with that for hours and could not get it to work.

i assume I add the flashlight script to it since that holds the value of batteries, then what. thats where i get lost

[slender nymph]

then you can create a method on the desired class that you call from the interaction event and that can increase the count by 1

[dusk minnow]

i saved my code then this somehow appeared

[slender nymph]

that's a build error. if you weren't trying to build then clear the console and move on

you can even restart the editor if it bothers you that much

[dusk minnow]

it doesnt let me start bcs of error and it keeps appearing

[dusk minnow]

i wasnt

[silent valley]

Would you mind helping me with that? Is it something I need to add via code or can it be done from the interaction event?

[slender nymph]

both . . .
surely you know what a method is, yes?

[silent valley]

update/start etc right?

[dusk minnow]

its not working

[slender nymph]

Update, Start, etc are examples of methods. those are sort of magic ones though since unity calls them automatically

[slender nymph]

how descriptive. i definitely know what is going on with such a great description of the issue!

[dusk minnow]

It is not going away. ive done nothing. if i had the description of the problem sir, i would have solved it myself.

[slender nymph]

did you restart the editor?

[vestal valve]

How to use "and" function in C#
Does "and", "or" exists ?

[dusk minnow]

yes.

[slender nymph]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators#conditional-logical-and-operator-

assuming you are referring to logical operators

[slender nymph]

well it's not an issue with the code because it isn't a compile error

[silent valley]

So I'd make a new method, and then call upon that method I made to increase it by 1 when I press my interaction button

[slender nymph]

yes

[silent valley]

gotcha. Thank you. Makes sense now

[dusk minnow]

I know, but i was trying something then i went into unity to test it and it said this

[slender nymph]

okay well this is a code channel

[dusk minnow]

in a scene i could somehow not save it bcs acces was refused

ok where do i ask this then

[slender nymph]

perhaps your install is fucked. or you may need to delete your Library folder. i have no idea, i'm just a programmer

[vital tangle]

hey i wanna ask a simple thing

what type of string it is

[slender nymph]

bcs acces was refused
well that sounds like an OS permissions issue

[vital tangle]

\x11LLL\x00\x07\x01\x02\x01\x00\x10\x9f\x9d\xa7C\x01

it kinda seems like hex

but dunno how to decode

[dusk minnow]

nice help, thanjs

[eternal needle]

Maybe asci? Cannot be hex with L

[vital tangle]

its binary as far

requires some processing which i am unaware of

tho its a string representing hex

[eternal needle]

I have absolutely no clue what you mean by that

[ivory bobcat]

Where did you get that string from and what're you trying to do with it?

[eternal needle]

That isnt binary, and L isnt hex

[vital tangle]

was thinking the same

the final result should be a base64 string

and converting it to a normal utf-16 string it returns offline/online

[ivory bobcat]

Seems like an ascii escape character for byte

[vital tangle]

idk much
was here to know what exactly it is

[eternal needle]

Wut.. u initially said its binary and hex after I suggested ascii

[ivory bobcat]

.

[vital tangle]

ascii is utf-16

its a possibility if the final string is utf-8

all i need to know is what is this thing even i dont know myself

obligatory "use cinemachine"

[rich gazelle]

Which gameobject are you following?

You might be following the character model's pivot point

I would usually use a separate look at point that is positioned at character model head.

[slender nymph]

yeah that object's pivot point is at its feet

just use cinemachine though

[rich gazelle]

Yeah definitely you following character model pivot point hahaha

[left star]

yeah

i can only put pivot on center

not like in the head

[rich gazelle]

Try creating a empty gameobject on the character, then position it on the head.

[left star]

ok

[rich gazelle]

And then have the script follow the empty gameobject

But like boxfriend said, I recommend cinemachine too hahahaha

[left star]

idk how to use lol

[left star]

fix it with this

can i implement the cinemachine in a start project?

[rich gazelle]

What you mean by start project?

Oh you mean beginner project? Yeah sure of course you can

There's a whole unity tutorial on how to use Cinemachine

but if since you already have a camera script you might as well continue unless you are interested in cinemachine

How to move a gameobject left and right continuously ?
The code I wrote is not working.

[rich gazelle]

few things to check,

1. have you attached the script to the gameobject?
2. is the value moving at all in debug view?

[north kiln]

Use an if statement, not a while loop

Update is a loop that is executed every frame

Your loop completes in one frame, teleporting the object

Also .x will never equal 5 exactly

[near ridge]

[lilac hemlock]

Can someone help me out. How do I make an object to snap to the terrain during run time? For some reason, the object is half under the terrain.

https://hatebin.com/lnnvjpbskz

[rich gazelle]

I would think it's something to do with your gameobject's pivot point.

[lilac hemlock]

it is just a basic cube

[rich gazelle]

Yeah then the basic cube's pivot point is in the middle I believe

[lilac hemlock]

how do i fix that?

without fixing the model's pivot point

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe your offset is wrong

[rich gazelle]

Uhh another gameobject to hold the prefab, adjust the position, then make it a prefab

[left star]

Why is he flying? lol

[rich gazelle]

@lilac hemlock

[left star]

code

[lilac hemlock]

thanks, but isn't there an automaric solution

with a cube it is okay

but it seems a lot of manual work for more complex models

[rich gazelle]

If your complex model's pivot is at the bottom, then this issue shouldn't happen

[rich gazelle]

Question, is the character falling when it gets to that height or it is a fixed position kind of thing (like just in mid-air, zero movement)

Or rather, does your character have rigidbody and a collider?

I'm assuming you do cos there's charactercontroller

[lilac hemlock]

okay, thanks

[hot sun]

its saying error in this code

🤔

[slender nymph]

did you forget to drag RawImage objects into the slots in the inspector?

[rich gazelle]

Did you assign anything to it?

[hot sun]

no

[hot sun]

yes

[slender nymph]

well either you have more than one instance of this object in the scene, or you are not correct

[left star]

When I enter playmode it's on the ground but as soon as I press "W" it goes up and walks

[left star]

nop

[rich gazelle]

Try adding that first?

[left star]

only this

[hot sun]

yeah i used multiple refrences in the objectmovement script
to call different functions of this script

[left star]

If i change the height here he go down and up, maybe is this?

[slender nymph]

huh? i'm talking about multiple different Lives components in your scene

[hot sun]

this is the moving script and i called lives here many times

[slender nymph]

okay, that's entirely irrelevant to what i've said

[hot sun]

is this u r talking abt?

[hot sun]

oh sry, i didnt udertand 😅

[hot sun]

oh now i understand!!!!!!!

u were right

i copied the canvas multiple times for diferent purposes

but didnt remove the script

😓

working fine now👍

[left star]

idk why

[queen adder]

neither do we

whenever u post a question make sure to give some resource to it, we cant blindly guess because there is sooo soo many things that can go wrong

[rich gazelle]

Show us the character gameobject, where you put the script

[vestal valve]

Thanks for this

[queen adder]

try reducing ur skin width in character controller for start

make sure ur animations dont control your Y position

if those 2 didnt fix it, then you will have to show us your script for movement

[rich gazelle]

^he showed us the script already 👍

[queen adder]

also make sure ur box collider isnt oversized

[left star]

don't work

[queen adder]

show us the gizmos

while in play mode

go to analysis, physics debugger and show those gizmos

[rich gazelle]

@left star I think it's this situation

[left star]

maybe this one

[left star]

yeah

[queen adder]

also in your code u set Y to 0

check before you start your game, what is your Y

if its -something

then thats why it goes up

[rich gazelle]

Yeap, adjust your character controller's position, height and stuff.

these 3 things

[left star]

i think is the radius

[rich gazelle]

Make sure it looks like something like this

[modest dust]

Question, would an attempt to call .SetActive(true) on a GameObject which is already active, cause to call OnTriggerEnter2D again for anything already within the trigger radius?

[left star]

yeah done

thxxx

now I think I need to add gravity? bc if I go over something, the character flies again

[rich gazelle]

I don't think so. Plus why do you need to call SetActive(true) when already active?

[rich gazelle]

Yeap. Rigidbody and stuff.

[modest dust]

I don't need to. Asking since I'm working in a team and there's a weird error involving triggers, and I though that this might be one of the possibilities as this does happen there

[rich gazelle]

Ah I see. I thought it was weird. It shouldn't affect it tho

[modest dust]

Basically the attack range is done badly and is set to active each frame
An entity once calling Destroy, exits the trigger twice, then re-enters it and OnDestroy get's called after that

[queen adder]

i believe so, but you could manipulate the collider to still stay disabled , raycast distance and enable when its out of colliders reach

or create a different collider in child that will have ontriggerexit to enable the trigger in parent

[modest dust]

Well, I only needed to know if OnTriggerEnter2D would be called again by doing so, as for the solution I'll just beat my team members until they change it so that .SetActive(true) won't be called each frame, so there's no need for anything fancy like that

[languid spire]

why dont you use the debugger and find out for yourself?

[modest dust]

I did debug it and it seemed like the case, that's why I asked this specific question just to make sure that I'm not actually dumb

[queen adder]

well you can still reccoment them these ways to do so

[queen adder]

just make sure u wear gloves, they aint worth bruises on ur hands

[modest dust]

I did send these to them, just in this case it won't be necessary

[regal totem]

Heyo, had a question. I've got a simple moving char, no mesh so no footstep animation. Getting a lot of diff ways to go about. What would be a good suggested way player simple walk around the house to play footsteps correctly? Would be same floor etc, could expand on that later, just want core down.

I was dabbling with the players velocity and I wasn't sure if just to use a timer or

Would be first person (why no mesh) and the player would stay at the same speed ideally walking around.

[zealous oxide]

good afternoon friends, how do I Physics2D.Raycast diagonally? https://hastebin.com/share/iyihuxepez.csharp i've tried the following: var right = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(1,-1,0)); for a diagonally right down angle but i dont think i'm doing it right

[ivory bobcat]

Best to lookup tutorials to see what fits your needs best.
Here's a random YouTube example that seems friendly enough: https://youtu.be/ELz_EG-s0jU?feature=shared

[regal totem]

Maybe I wasn't clear, no issue with player movement. Talkin about audio for footsteps, without using animation events.

[ivory bobcat]

Did you try Googling?

[rich gazelle]

Was just about to suggest that but okay. A timer would work too, depending on the level of need for accuracy.

[regal totem]

no need to be rude. I get a lot of people come here for the answer instead of looking up. I would not be one of those

[queen adder]

why not simple if(!IsPlaying) ?

[regal totem]

you mean like a player IsMoving(Play Sound)?

[queen adder]

no i mean just have if(!yourclip.IsPlaying) {yourclip.Play();} in your movement script

[ivory bobcat]

I wasn't being rude and you're misinterpreting text. These code channels usually discuss coding implementations. As is, it's open ended. Help folks help you easier.

What's the issue? Gravity?

[queen adder]

your character wants to be at 0 Y axis

[wintry quarry]

You have a CharacterController AND a Rigidbody on your character

They are fighting each other

[left star]

i think so, but is look like he lagging

[queen adder]

thats ur camera because of rigidbody probably

[left star]

i remove rigidbody , but now my player is flying

[ivory bobcat]

Apply gravity through code.

[left star]

ok

[ivory bobcat]

Example: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

[wintry quarry]

You haven't implemented gravity in your movement script

It's just doing what your code is telling it to do

what is wrong?

[languid spire]

same GetKey

[left star]

one is !

[languid spire]

also you really nead to learn how to ask questions

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe tell us what is wrong or the unwanted behavior that's occurring.

[languid spire]

you only have a transition from Idle to Walking but not back again

[left star]

I connected the idle animation, taken from mixamo, connected in the animator, and also the walking animation but when I start the game, no animation appears. The character goes underground and appears to be sitting on a motorcycle

[left star]

I've already tried both but it still doesn't work

[rich gazelle]

the transitions have settings

[left star]

yeah

i remove the has exit time, and i add the conditions isWalking = true

[rich gazelle]

Yeah like what SteveSmith said, you're missing the way back

[languid spire]

sounds like youve wired up the wrong animations

[ivory bobcat]

Try cs void Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown("w")) { animator.SetBool("isWalking", true); } else if(Input.GetKeyUp("w")) { animator.SetBool("isWalking", false); } }

[languid spire]

no need for the second if

sorry, Down and Up

[ivory bobcat]

Your animation is likely setup wrong.

Ask the dudes in #🏃┃animation about your animation. Show them your setup and stuff.

[rich gazelle]

I think that's a Synty model btw

[ivory bobcat]

Agree. I own it as well.

Or one of those other low poly ones etc

[rich gazelle]

yeah then I don't think it's a rig problem, it might be due to his animation controller setup is the more likely cause

[main karma]

does anyone have a syntax on how I can pass an int in an event

because I still don't get it

[polar acorn]

You make your event take a delegate that has an int parameter. Then when you call it you'll just pass in an int and it'll pass that as a parameter to all registered listeners

[main karma]

wait I think I got it now

  public event EventHandler<int> OnTimer;```

so I do this right?

now instead of the stupid EventArgs I do myInt

[fluid remnant]

public event Action<int> MyEvent

cs MyEvent?.Invoke(69)

[polar acorn]

You could also use custom delegates
https://gamedevbeginner.com/events-and-delegates-in-unity/

[main karma]

thank you, I never knew what the <> are supposed to do in C#, I thought I need to pass it in EventArgs as some kind of dictionary cuz I was confused

[dusk minnow]

hey i need some help, i have this object and i want it to rotate like a turret to a target, but i cant ge it to rotate around the right axis

[uncut shoal]

how do I create a custom sprite and generate a custom physics shape with an outline tolerance of 1 instead of the default 0?

with code

[fossil harness]

Angle brackets declare a type for a generic class. So like when you make a list, they're programmed to be be a list of "generic" types, meaning the type itself is a variable. The brackets are what you're choosing that type to be. (E.g. List<int> myList;)

In the case of a delegate, the generic type is for the parameter

[main karma]

I see

I wish I knew that sooner

made many many workarounds

[fossil harness]

Oooof yeah there's a lotta stuff that can be easy to gloss over

[fading slate]

i mean i dragit here

at script

at Rb 2d

[fossil harness]

I went two years in uni without knowing what a foreach loop was 😓

Paddle is the one i want to put there

[uncut shoal]

So uh can someone help me? I want to generate a custom physics shape using the Sprite Editor but with code for a sprite generated at runtime

with an outline tolerance of 1.

no idea how to do it though

[fossil harness]

The type in your script is a rigidbody, while you're trying to drag a rigidbody2D

[fading slate]

fixed it thanks

[summer stump]

Glad you got it resolved, but for future reference, you were wanting to "reference the rigidbody on a prefab"

Also, keep in mind that there are many of components and methods specific to 2D

If it won't let you drag it in, (or doesn't work in some other way) check for a 2D version.

i gave a gameobject the button component and still cant click it

[main karma]

is the gameobject hidden/obstructed by something else in the ui?

[short hazel]

Make sure the game object is active. Make sure the button script is active. Make sure the object is under a Canvas. Make sure you have an Event System in the scene. Make sure no other UI objects are in front, that could prevent the click from reaching the button

[vernal thorn]

yes by a text that says Play

[topaz rain]

Hi, i've got a question about performance.
If i want to access to a public variable in a script which has no duplicates in the scene, is it better to have a reference to the object owning the variable, or making the variable public static so i dont need to reference the object?

[summer stump]

Reference the script itself. I would avoid making it static

But without details, can't really say more. It MIGHT make sense to make it static, but it is often not a good idea for just ease of access

[topaz rain]

Well, since i have no problem in referencing the script through the inspector (both objects are always in the scene), and i was only using it to keep the inspector cleaner, i guess referencing the script is the way to go. Ty so much i can imagine making the vars public static has some other use that i'm not aware of and i was just being lazy

[summer stump]

Static guarantees there will only be one instance

[last grove]

whats the best way to rotate an object on one axis without touching any of the other axis? orientation.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(yRotation, orientation.up);This is what I have so far but it is not working.

[rare basin]

use DOTween

[last grove]

This doesn't seem like what I'm looking for

[rare basin]

why not?

you can even smooth this up without using any your own Lerp funfctions etc

[valid aspen]

Object Reference Issue

[last grove]

Im looking for a function that doesn't rotate every frame, I just want it to update when the mouse moves

That's why RotateAround isn't working for me

[rare basin]

DOTween will work just fine

you didint answer my "Why not" question

im not talking about RotateAround

[sharp abyss]

Frozen is never true but dont know why

[last grove]

how do I get intellisense for DOTween?

[rare basin]

its an external asset

get it from asset store, watch tutorials on dotween

[last grove]

I figured it out

[rare basin]

that will be your most needed asset ever

in every project

[sharp abyss]

can someone take a look at my thread

[last grove]

I tried it and this isn't what I'm looking for

I need a tool that can rotate just one axis without ever touching the others

[short hazel]

transform.Rotate will do that just fine, you can even tell it to rotate along the world-space axes instead of the local ones by default

[last grove]

the problem with that is it adds to the rotation, I want it to directly change the existing values

[short hazel]

Then you can use Quaternion.Euler(x, y, z) and pass the angles in degrees

It gives back a Quaternion you can assign to any transform.rotation

[last grove]

but that involves setting all the axis values even though I only want to change the y

I wish there was a way to add quaternions like you can with vector3

[summer stump]

Set them to their current values. That is basically the same as NOT setting them

[short hazel]

Multiply them to accumulate quaternions

But that would be just equal to using transform.Rotate

What you can do is store individual x, y, z as floats in the script, change any of these variables and construct the quaternion on the fly

[last grove]

idk why but this just results in violent flailing

[restive berry]

Hello everyone,
Im completely new to this and I hope this is the correct channel

    void Update()
    {
        while (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.up * upwardsForce;
        }
    }

I want my player to move upwards while the spacebar is pressed. However instead of working, my unity freezes the moment I test my game and press spacebar once. Where did my thinking went wrong? Any tips?

[slender nymph]

don't use a while loop. Update is called every frame so just use an if statement

[short hazel]

It's because of the while loop. Unity does not render the next frame until all the scripts have finished running. And since Input.GetKeyDown can only change between two Update runs, then your condition is always true, your loop never ends, and unity freezes because it does not render the next frame

You will need to force stop Unity through task manager, unsaved progress will be lost

[restive berry]

Oh, makes sense, thanks.

How would I implement my goal if not with a while loop? If I use an if statement I have to press my spacebar everytime I want my player to go up, however thats not wuite what im aim to achieve.

[short hazel]

Just an if statement yes

If it's a "go up while you press the key down" thing, then use Input.GetKey() instead

[tawdry rock]

Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space)

hi guys someone know some tutorial for make a teleport inside an house?

[rich adder]

triggers + transform.position =

[left star]

thxxx!

[tawdry rock]

Im very new at unity (1 month old~) so don't go rough on me for my newbie question but i need some light in my head maybe someone can help.
I have a very basic scene setup where the cube spawn exactly a position where a empty gameobject called "Spawner" is located. This spawner is the child gameobject of the Parent.
Parent's XYZ position is: 0,1,2
the Spawner XYZ position is: 3,0,0
I also made a simple blue cube saved it as a prefab (its XYZ position is 0,0,0 but since i spawning it and set its coords it doesnt matter i guess).
Then i made the spawner.cs script and put it on the Parent gameobject. Pressed the pause button then the Start because the code is inside the start method. I also debugging 2 times which gives the box XYZ coords back to console.
First it says the XYZ is: 3,0,0 ( so it spawns exactly where the spawner is.)
Then it says the XYZ is: 3,1,2
In the code i update the cube position two times. Once with transform.localPosition and then with transform.position

What i don't understand when i update it second times shouldn't the position be 0,1,2?
As far as i know, transform.position is for the 'world position' and takes values from the gameobject where the script sits on. With this example it should be the Parent but it ignores the X axis and only updates on YZ.

public GameObject boxPrefab;
 public GameObject spawn;

 private void Start()
 {
     GameObject boxPrefabGameObject = Instantiate(boxPrefab); 

     boxPrefabGameObject.transform.localPosition = spawn.transform.localPosition;
     Debug.Log("Box position is: " + boxPrefabGameObject.transform.localPosition);

     boxPrefabGameObject.transform.position = spawn.transform.position;
     Debug.Log("Box position is: " + boxPrefabGameObject.transform.position);
 }

[rare basin]

you're using it wrong 🙂

[slender nymph]

so the spawner's parent is at 0,1,2 in world space and the spawner is at 3,0,0 relative to its parent. that means the spawners world space position is 3,1,2
the position you see in the inspector is the local position

[dawn sparrow]

Before writing to this file, I want to clear it of all previous content

How do I do that?

I tried different things like opening the file with trucate mode and closing it but I did something wrong, cuz it didnt work at all

[slender nymph]

why are you using File.AppendText if you want to overwrite the content that is already there?

[dawn sparrow]

Not versed in all the different kinds of writing to files

[slender nymph]

you don't even need to use a StreamWriter for this. just use File.WriteAllText

[dawn sparrow]

First time, actually

I just used that cuz that's what came up when I searched how to write to a file

[dawn sparrow]

I'll try that thanks

[vital pumice]

So I know that if I have a script that updates a text file it doesn’t tend to update until I tab out then back into unity where it does the loading thing
How do I trigger that behavior from script so I don’t have to tab out and in to update stuff?

[slender nymph]

are you referring to it refreshing the content of the text file when viewing it in the editor? because you can just reimport the text asset with some editor code

Ah yeah I think so thanks!!

If I have 2 identical components in an object and I use the GetComponent<>() function to get one of them, how do I choose which one I want or switch between them

they are the same components but hold different data which I have to access from a 3rd function

[slender nymph]

you don't get to choose or switch. GetComponent will return the first component it finds of that type. you could instead use GetComponents and that would give you an array of all of the components of that type which you could do whatever you need to with. a better option would be to serialize references to those specific components and/or have them on separate child objects

[main karma]

didn't know GetComponents was a thing

[main karma]

the child thing won't work for my use case so I'll try the GetComponents instead

[rich adder]

Hey pt1 🙂
#archived-resources message

[main karma]

thank you!

so the GetComponents got me to a different question, how do I go through them in a loop

[summer stump]

A foreach should work
The components would need some identifier to distinguish them

[main karma]

like

for (int i=0; i<endvalue;i++) {
do stuff} ```
doesn't work because idk what's the endvalue

[rich adder]

the length of the array

[main karma]

yeah idk how to find that out

[summer stump]

array.length

[main karma]

ah thank you

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.array.length?view=net-7.0

[summer stump]

Right? Or is it count

Check that link

[rich adder]

count is list

because size is undetermined / not fixed
so its not a length

[summer stump]

Ok, thought so. Thanks

[main karma]

wish I would've done c# in school instead of c++

[rich adder]

its pretty easy if you already learned C++

[main karma]

we only did fundamentals, from functions to algorithms and classes, structs and all those basic things

didn't get into any software specific application

[rich adder]

thats all you need pretty much

[eternal needle]

schools rarely teach it, and really all you need to learn from schools is the concepts. swapping from c++ to c# shouldnt be that tough syntax wise

[main karma]

just cmd apps

[eternal needle]

if you learned like functional programming, then swapping to something else would be pretty hellish

or tried to swap into it

[main karma]

yeah I got the hang of it quickly

[oblique gazelle]

hello

[rich adder]

best way to learn straight up coding/logic

[oblique gazelle]

i need some help

?

[main karma]

still got a lot to learn tho

[main karma]

which is why I am here rn

[rich adder]

this place is best for API specifics for unity programming

do you have visual studio ? create a nice Console apps
You can use unity too ofc and run it in 1 script to keep it simple enough

[main karma]

yeah I have visual studio

[rich adder]

btw this is good to learn how unity works behind the scenes with your code (Monobehaviours) https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

[main karma]

ah I remember this, looked through it a lot whenever my game logic order got messed up and stuff happened in the wrong order

very useful

Hey guys, I was wondering, is there a way to Debug within only one C# script?

When I press "Attach to Unity" and try to debug my code, after it has gone through code in Update(), it jumps to cinemachine script and user input script, but I would like it to go on to FixedUpdate() within the same script instead. Is that possible?

[rich adder]

are you putting breakpoints ?

[solid timber]

I put one breakpoint, in a function that runs in Update(). Should I put more than one?

[rich adder]

if you want multiple spots to hit sure. I think you want StepOver iirc so doesn't leave the script and just goes to next breakpoint

instead of step into

I could be remembering wrong though lol maybe someone will correct

[solid timber]

Yeah I tried step over, and now use 2 breakpoints (one in Update() and one in FixedUpdate() ) but it still keeps going into the canvasScaler, externalTools, cinemachine etc etc after Update() instead of going into FixedUpdate().

hm 🤔 I am new to this debugging tool so I might be doin something wrong here
