[rich adder]

iirc you Step Out when that happens

[merry pecan]

hey so any ideas as to where like the text box is? im trying to make it bigger but i still cant see it

[rich adder]

15000+ to the right

[merry pecan]

ahh oops, thank you

[last grove]

is it possible to calculate the neccesary x and z rotations to rotate an object while taking into account a changing y rotation?

[rich adder]

btw you should use TextMeshPro
The text component kinda sucks

[merry pecan]

huh?

[rich adder]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/working-with-textmesh-pro

[merry pecan]

its just like more text options?

[rich adder]

it gives you crisp and clean text

[tawdry rock]

thanks, it would be nice to be able to see the world space as well on the moved child object

[merry pecan]

i mean the one i saw on unity was like good i guess like

but il check it out thanks

[tawdry rock]

you also need to reffer it differently than the Text. in case if you watch some old YT tutorial where legacy text is used and wonder why your code not working

[unkempt locust]

Hello, I'm trying to make my player shoot using raycast, but I'm having this problem, can you help me? IShotHit is not working

[timber tide]

Your IDE is giving you a hint, hover over it

[unkempt locust]

o

ok

[timber tide]

Is your interface created somewhere in this project?

[unkempt locust]

Yes

[timber tide]

If you've got it contained in a namespace you'll need to include that too.

[unkempt locust]

Not

this is a script

[timber tide]

Yes, but I don't see the interface in this script, so you've got it somewhere else.

[unkempt locust]

I'm new to unity, what do I have to do?

[polar acorn]

Where is IShotHit?

Show the code for it

[timber tide]

Find where the interface is located. Make sure you've not encapsulated inside of a namespace or a class, otherwise you'll have to include it in this script

[unkempt locust]

i show

And the first time I use raycast in the project

help me please

[polar acorn]

I'm still waiting for you to show your interface definition

Where did you make IShotHit

[unkempt locust]

ok

[unkempt locust]

I not make

[polar acorn]

Then why are you trying to use code that doesn't exist

[final kestrel]

Ahh I'm sorry

[rich adder]

yeah use site. post link
also show inspector for object this script is on

[final kestrel]

All right a minute

[violet verge]

on my audio manager I only have one SFX source, does that mean only one sfx can play at a time? should I have my PlaySound Method make a new audio source each time it's called?
https://gdl.space/edajawuxoj.cs

[final kestrel]

https://hatebin.com/zqbjiywfnn I think this link works

this the inspector

[rich adder]

first I'd use an actual character controller if you want accurate collisions / physics (not translate)
also is the platform actually marked as Ground layer?

[final kestrel]

Yes it is. I have a script for character controller too. It still does the same. Want to see it?

[rich adder]

if it also uses translate to move then its wrong 😛

[final kestrel]

I am using characterController.move

on that script.

[rich adder]

ohh ok , did you try using that script instead with character controller

[final kestrel]

The reason why I avoid using physics is that, first I couldnt figure how to set a static speed for move forward. Like it continuously adds velocity. Managed the jump. My character should rotate 90 degrees on the wanted direction instantly when enters trigger. So I could not do it with physics.

[final kestrel]

Yes the result is the same.

[rich adder]

static speed for move forward.

not sure what you mean here, it shouldn't be any different than what u do now

instead of translate you just use .Move

[final kestrel]

You mean with using character controller? I was talking about using rigid body based physics sorry.

I can give the code with character controller too if you wish.

[rich adder]

yeah.
Collisions are pretty much physics

[final kestrel]

It just sits on top of an invisible ground it feels like.

My groundcheck still works as well

even though it does not hit the ground while its in the air.

[rich adder]

you said you had a platform mid-air ?

[final kestrel]

but my ground check is correct. I didnt mean its broken as well.

When I first start moving. The character is on the ground no problem. I execute the jump it jumps as expected. When falling down it does not hit the ground back. It feels and looks as if there is another ground or some other collider above the ground. It keeps moving based on that imaginary ground.

I created a default cube and a default platform. Attached the scripts. Chose the layers and all. It does the same. So im pretty sure its not because of the imported assets.

[rich adder]

screenshot the collider when it stops mid air, turn on all gizmos

[final kestrel]

all right I will do that

Sorry but with the gizmos enabled on right top corner. It doesnt show the axis.

It looks like this

[rich adder]

ok coul screenshot the transform GroundCheck spot

[hushed hinge]

I have an enemy who shots projectiles, but they keep on going through the walls, how can I fix that?

[rich adder]

you want collisions

[hushed hinge]

this is the projectile's script

[final kestrel]

Ground check is at the bottom which is just an empty

[rich adder]

yeah but you pput size of 0.1f right ?

[final kestrel]

In the code yes

[rich adder]

so maybe its above the ground by 0.1f

remember its a circle

sphere**

[rich adder]

you could put trigger or put regular colliders (you can ignore collisions between player and background objects with collider)

then u ccould use OnCollisionEnter2D to destroy projectile

[final kestrel]

Should not it be above the ground and below the player?

to detect ground layer?

[hushed hinge]

uhh I don't get what you mean

[final kestrel]

Checksphere has a physical collider that can prevent the player from touching the ground?

I thought it was something like a sphere collider which is just a trigger

[rich adder]

you can debug it .
put
inside OnDrawGizmos() method Put
Gizmos.DrawSphere(groundechk.position , 0.1f)

[rich adder]

you need colliders

[hushed hinge]

what colliders?

[rich adder]

put a collider on the house if you want the bullet to hit it

[hushed hinge]

no I meant these walls

[rich adder]

same concept applies

[final kestrel]

uhh what is this.

[rich adder]

what size did you put

[final kestrel]

0.1

[rich adder]

and you put groundcheck.position?

[final kestrel]

These imported assets are rather small

[rich adder]

well then thats how big your checksphere is

[final kestrel]

 {
     Gizmos.DrawSphere(groundCheck.position, 0.1f);
 }```

[rich adder]

that explains the gap i suppose

[hushed hinge]

I' still confused how that would remove the projectile even if it wasn't tagged anything like wall

[final kestrel]

Hm

[rich adder]

because you can use OnCollisionEnter2D to destroy it.

put a tag if you want

[final kestrel]

okay i made it smaller but now it sometimes go below the ground sometimes stays on it.

could it be related with collision detection?

[hushed hinge]

I still don't know how to do that in the script

this is so confusing

[hushed hinge]

I don't get what you're saying, I'm so confused

[timber tide]

It's the same concept for how your character isn't falling through the ground if you think about it

[hushed hinge]

I. still. don't. know. how.

everything what I get from here is so super confusing like I don't know what Im supposed to do

[final kestrel]

maybe take a look at what OnCollisionEnter does

[timber tide]

For what you got there, you must have some idea cause it's looking pretty good

[hushed hinge]

what OnCollisionEnter?

[hushed hinge]

I still don't know how

[timber tide]

Well, read up on the usage of OnCollisionEnter. There's also Physics2D.OverlapCircle if you want to do it manually.

[hushed hinge]

what OnCollisionEnter? where?

[hushed hinge]

everything is so confusing, I don't know what I'm supposed to do

[summer stump]

If someone gives you a name of something, and you don't know what it is, you first step should ALWAYS be researching it.
Edit: removed wrong link

Look at the example code here

Ah, you're 2d? One sec

Look at THIS example code
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

[hushed hinge]

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

[rich adder]

Does the projectile have a collider

[rich adder]

How did you even get this far without learning how colliders work ?

[hushed hinge]

I mostly got help from teachers and tutorials

[final kestrel]

navarone. After setting the sphere a smaller size. I mostly manage to stay on ground. But this time it goes below the ground a little.

[rich adder]

You should learn the tools at your disposal before doing anything

[hushed hinge]

I am not a expert and coding, I'm mostly used to designing

[rich adder]

It’s a trigger so you can’t even use OnCollision method

[rich adder]

Learning the components isn’t much to do with code

Anyway you already have an OnTrigger method so just add the walls to it ?

[hushed hinge]

how?

[rich adder]

I guess you can put them inside a tag to recognize you’re hitting walls

[hushed hinge]

they are tag to ground

[rich adder]

So you’re half way there

[hushed hinge]

also how can I make that a projectile sees that it hits a wall

[rich adder]

Tag check

[summer stump]

You already have it work with player

It is EXACTLY the same, but with the Ground tag (or whatever you named it)

[hushed hinge]

I don't know how

[summer stump]

else if

Not else

@hushed hinge But yeah, like that

[hushed hinge]

but

[summer stump]

What is that video even showing? I didn't see a bullet, or am I missing it?

[hushed hinge]

the green orb there is the projectile

[summer stump]

Ok. It hasn't gone into the wall, so it won't trigger, right? Shouldn't it be moving?

[summer stump]

Show the inspector for the bullet again, did you change it from istrigger?

[summer stump]

Any other colliders on it?

[rich adder]

Yeah trigger would not be colliding

[hushed hinge]

no, just box collider

[rich adder]

Hmm maybe the movement

[summer stump]

Is the green sphere a child?

[hushed hinge]

wut?

[summer stump]

But I guess destroying the parent would destroy the child too, so nevermind

[hushed hinge]

what am i supposed to do? I am so confused

[rich adder]

Save. Send link

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/hacusudufa.cs like this?

[rich adder]

Yup

Where is the movement or am I blind rn..

[hushed hinge]

I don't know, My teacher made it, not me

[summer stump]

I think its velocity is set externally when spawned. I see it set to 0 at one point

Can you minimize the components in the inspector and show all of them?

Please don't crop the shot either

[hushed hinge]

what components? I don't understand

[summer stump]

All these things here
#💻┃code-beginner message
Are components

There is a little arrow to minimize them on the left of the name

[hushed hinge]

???

You’re only shooting yourself in the foot, doing what ur doing now

This isn’t a good way to learn

It’s essential you learn the basics before even attempting to code anything

[summer stump]

Click these arrows

Yeah. What nav said for sure

[summer stump]

Of ALL of them. And DON'T crop the picture I said

Audio source is still expanded

So is what I assume is the animator

[hushed hinge]

ok, I clicked all of. the arrows

[queen adder]

so how do i make this animated sprite be infront of this to be seen

[polar acorn]

Sprite Renderers shouldn't be on a canvas

[queen adder]

its my logo ☠️

[summer stump]

Bro... stop cropping it...
For the third time

[polar acorn]

It shouldn't be a sprite renderer

[hushed hinge]

what's cropping?

[polar acorn]

Not showing the whole image

[queen adder]

then what should i use

[summer stump]

Cutting the picture to only show part of it

[polar acorn]

Image

[queen adder]

images arent animated

[polar acorn]

Neither are SpriteRenderers

Animators animate

[polar acorn]

SpriteRenderers don't

[queen adder]

no it works like this

[queen adder]

it chagnes it so its smooth

[hushed hinge]

this

[summer stump]

Ooookay, there we go. So that doesn't look like anything on the bullet should be doing it. Now click the wall prefab and show that

[polar acorn]

A SpriteRenderer doesn't animate things automatically. Animators do

And animators can affect an Image as well

[queen adder]

well i animated it lol

[polar acorn]

Yes, those look like Animators

Which is what does the animating

[polar acorn]

Not the sprite renderer

So don't use a Sprite Renderer

[queen adder]

what do i use for my animated logo

[polar acorn]

If it's on a canvas it should be an Image

[queen adder]

is it possible to make it change itself 12 timers a secound

[polar acorn]

Yes, literally the exact same way you are currently doing it

nothing changes

you still use an animator with a clip on it

[summer stump]

Ok, no scripts that could cause it on there either...
I dunno. Triggers should not cause that behaviour

[hushed hinge]

no triggers on it

[summer stump]

There... is on the bullet, right?

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[summer stump]

I was gonna say put some Debug.Logs around to see what is happening

[rich adder]

Whereever the movement is set, thats a good clue

[summer stump]

And definitely do that course navarone suggested here
#💻┃code-beginner message

[hushed hinge]

like this?

[last grove]

why does multiplying the capsules rotation with the white slopes rotation turn my player so far?

[rich adder]

Inside the compre tag

[queen adder]

well it aint moving

[polar acorn]

Does your animator animate the Image's Sprite

[queen adder]

Bro i don't have a animated im solo

[polar acorn]

You should probably check the Intro to C# guide in the pins. Debug Log should be literally the first line of code you ever wrote

[polar acorn]

what

[summer stump]

Brooo.. like I said earlier, if you don't know something, look it up. All the docs have example code. You didn't even put parenthases on it

And a million times this
#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

i jsut put this in there and thats it

do i have to use another format or

[polar acorn]

So, does your animator change the sprite for your Image component

If your clip is specifically targeting a SpriteRenderer you will need to make one that changes the sprite of an Image

[polar acorn]

And stop posting this fucking image it has no bearing on anything and we've seen it already

[queen adder]

Imma just ask chat gpt

[polar acorn]

Have fun with that

If you want to animate something, you have to actually animate it

You're not going to avoid this by asking a chatbot

[last grove]

any chance I can get some advice for this?

[polar acorn]

I'm assuming you want the capsule to rotate so it looks like it's standing on that. The easiest way you can do that is by setting the capsules transform.up to the hit.normal of the floor below it

[hushed hinge]

I'm looking it up now

[rich adder]

Not smart

[last grove]

ive got code that is working for this. I just can't figure out why it is over rotating so much. transform.DORotateQuaternion(slopeInfo.transform.rotation, 0.1f);This code works but it locks the player to the fixed game axis and I want the player to be able to spin freely

[north kiln]

Ah, ground2, the better ground

the sequel to ground

[last grove]

trying to add in the players rotation over rotates the capsule which makes no sense because it only has a y value

[queen adder]

isnt it animated lol

[polar acorn]

What is that animating

Is that animating a sprite property on a sprite renderer

or a sprite property on an Image

[queen adder]

idk do i have to manualy animate it or is there a tool in unity

[summer stump]

Nice! That's it!
Now write this:
Debug.Log("Projectile hit: " + collision.gameObject.name);

That what you know WHAT it hit

[polar acorn]

That's going to set your object's entire rotation to the slopeInfo's over 0.1 seconds. If you keep calling this, it's going to keep overwriting the rotation

[last grove]

I have a conditional statement so it only runs once, it def works cuz I have debugging lines that are showing the correct things

[queen adder]

this or is there another tool?

[summer stump]

Super weird. Do what I said here
#💻┃code-beginner message

And then do one more video like that, but select the bullet, and have the box collider expanded and showing

[polar acorn]

You've made one animation already. Do the same thing but change an Image's Sprite property instead of a SpriteRenderer's

[last grove]

my main problem is that the player keeps getting initially reset to the world axis before I can look freely again so I'm trying to cut out that period so its seemless

[queen adder]

how

[polar acorn]

...the same way you made the first one

[last grove]

change ur sprite renderer to an image component

[summer stump]

You are cloning the projectile over and over again

So those are all DIFFERENT projectiles showing, hitting the wall, destroying themselves, and spawning a new one

At least that is what it looks like

[queen adder]

infitive - ram glitch

which one

[polar acorn]

Which what

[queen adder]

what do i change here

[polar acorn]

You don't. You make an animation that changes the Image's Sprite over time

[summer stump]

So... is _objectToSpawn supposed to be a projectile?

I really should have noticed that earlier

[queen adder]

ohh i gotchu

[hushed hinge]

I think so

[summer stump]

I think no

Why would you spawn a new projectile when it hits something?

Probably supposed to be some visually effect

Definitely comment out that instantiate line and the first destroy line and see if that fixes it

Lines 67 and 68

[hushed hinge]

my teacher made the script

[summer stump]

Did he also drag in the projectile prefab to the field for you?

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[summer stump]

I really don't know what they were thinking. Maybe tired and made a mistake?

[rich adder]

Probably not a real teacher

Probably some online course

Time to get a new teacher 😂

[hushed hinge]

also my game gets lacky right now when there's like this what the debug.log is showing

[summer stump]

I bet, with how many different objects it's getting the name for so quickly

Debugs aren't super performant

You want to remove them before bulding usually

[verbal dome]

Debug.Log is pretty slow yeah

[summer stump]

But now we know the issue. You have a projectile in _objectToSpawn, and that's not what it should be

[hushed hinge]

I do not wnat it to spawm like that right now

[hushed hinge]

oh? that what should I do? remove _objectToSpawn?

[summer stump]

You can just comment out lines 67 and 68 for now (the one where you instantiate and destroy the new object)

[summer stump]

You can comment it out for now

I assume it's supposed to be a visual effect

[hushed hinge]

comment it out? what does that mean?

[summer stump]

Make the line a comment by adding // in front of the words

[hushed hinge]

the proejctiles disappears after hitting the wall, thnk you

[jovial peak]

what does it mean by cant be non nullable value types, if it doesnt exist in the dict, wouldnt it be null?

[north kiln]

TryGetValue returns a bool

use that

value types are never null

[jovial peak]

ah thx! didnt realize -- oops,

[hushed hinge]

a betatester told me this

[vast yoke]

sounds like somthing to do with velocities not getting reset maybe? not a very clear bug report it seems ;-;

[hushed hinge]

hmmmmm.... maybe I can ask chatgbt?

[verbal dome]

Yeah this report is badly worded, not sure whats going on

Floating makes me think, are you changing rigidbody gravity anywhere?

[hushed hinge]

hmm... hard to say

[summer stump]

Maybe show the player script with a site like you did earlier?

[hushed hinge]

hmmmm...

I’d like to learn as much as possible and try to practice with what I’ve learned so far

This might be a reeealllly dumb question

but

    {
        VeesInputManager.Playercontrols.BaseMap.Move.performed += OnMovePerfomed;
        VeesInputManager.Playercontrols.BaseMap.Move.canceled += (context) => _movement = Vector2.zero;
        VeesInputManager.Playercontrols.BaseMap.Attack.performed += (_) => StartCoroutine(AttackDelay());
    }

    void OnDisable()
    {
        VeesInputManager.Playercontrols.BaseMap.Move.performed -= OnMovePerfomed;
    }```

If its a lambda function do i have to do -= (context) => _movement = Vector2.zero? Is it a actual method under the hood?

[wintry quarry]

You cannot unsubscribe those lambdas as written

[queen adder]

I didnt think so

But was worried lmao

[wintry quarry]

Either use real methods or save the lambdas in a variable to unsubscribe them later

[queen adder]

Seems more convenient to just have the subscribed and not have to worry unsubscribing 🙂 thank u p... you always come in clutch

[spark ember]

any idea why the builds will not follow my mouse pointer as ive made it: https://pastebin.com/qGxESAgp

my game is 2d by the way

[ivory bobcat]

What do you mean by

the builds will not follow my mouse pointer

[spark ember]

ive tried to make it so that the ghost build prefabs follow my mouse pointer'

instead of just staying in front of my playher

[ivory bobcat]

What does it do instead?

Does it move as you move the mouse?

Is there a pattern?

[spark ember]

no

it just moves as I move my character around

it has snapping working but dosent follow my cursor at all

[ivory bobcat]

What does it do instead?

Does it follow a particular pattern? Like moves relative to the mouse but at an offset.

[spark ember]

i’ll try and get a video

[ivory bobcat]

If you do ```cs
void UpdateGhostPosition()
{
if (ghostBuild == null) return;

    // Get the mouse position in the world
    Vector3 mousePos = mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
    mousePos.z = 0f;

/*
// Use the defined snap values based on the current snap mode
float verticalSnapValue = isHorizontalSnap ? ghostWallVerticalSnapValue : ghostFloorVerticalSnapValue;
float horizontalSnapValue = isHorizontalSnap ? ghostWallHorizontalSnapValue : ghostFloorHorizontalSnapValue;

    // Offset the ghost position for a better visual alignment
    mousePos.x += horizontalSnapValue;
    mousePos.y += verticalSnapValue;

    // Snap to the nearest grid position
    float snappedX = Mathf.Round(mousePos.x / buildSize.x) * buildSize.x;
    float snappedY = Mathf.Round(mousePos.y / buildSize.y) * buildSize.y;

    // Set the ghost's position to the snapped position
    ghostBuild.transform.position = new Vector3(snappedX, snappedY, 0f);

*/
ghostBuild.transform.position = mousePos;
}```Is the mouse at the correct position? I understand it will not snap but determining if it's related to your cam/mouse or the snapping algorithm.

[spark ember]

let me try

heres what it does with the script you sent me

[spark ember]

its an mkv

ill re record mp4 if u dont wanna download it

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not downloading that.

[spark ember]

ok lemme change format

[ivory bobcat]

Did you try this yet?

[spark ember]

yes i tried that and it did the same as the video i just sent

execpt that one dosent have snapping

[ivory bobcat]

I don't understand the video.

[spark ember]

you can see

im moving my cursor around

and it dosent follow it

[ivory bobcat]

Are they suppose to follow or be at the exact location?

[spark ember]

i made it follow

and it dosent do that as you can see

Moving the mouse around with them jittering all over the place isn't showing me much. Maybe explain what is working and what isn't.
If you completely disable the moving do the objects still move? I'm not able to understand by the mouse moving and objects moving in the video. Maybe only move right and see if they move right. Randomly moving doesn't help me understand what's going on.

        if (isPlacing)
        {
            //UpdateGhostPosition();
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                if (CanPlaceBuild())
                {
                    PlaceBuild();
                }
            }
        }```

^ to test if physics or whatever may be playing a part in their displacement (I'm not sure if you're using physics or have them as non trigger etc)

Else move one direction only and see what the pattern is.

Break it down: (it's obviously not at the correct location)
Moving right does what?
What about up or down?
And left?

Explain the behaviors. I'm not able to interpret them from the fast random or circular movements in the video.

[burnt vapor]

Your if statement has a bitshift, rather than a proper equality check. You need to change & to &&.

[vestal valve]

that ain't matter
cause it worked.
only the inner if statement was not running

[burnt vapor]

I'm not sure why you're saying "it worked" when it's a clear flaw in your if statement

And yes, the rest of your code is also wrong, because you have a single frame to press the spacebar before it is no longer possible to restart.

Considering I haven't seen the reason why you have that game variable, I can only suggest you remove it and the check in the if statement. The issue is then fixed.

[eternal needle]

& would just evaluate both sides while && cuts short if one is false. Itd still function the same in the code but yea it should be && for sure

[burnt vapor]

Indeed. Very little reason to have this, unless the right predicate has to evaluate something, even if the left predicate passes.

But you're right, I assumed this would not return the expected result.

[vestal valve]

I said "it worked" since I could see "Retry" in console.
The update() function continuously runs code until the game stops, so the spacebar will work anytime.
The reason of "Game" variable is that to stop the infinite running of if statement.
Assuming u haven't, Just look at the image below mine.
I just transferred the statement "game = false" from outer to inner if statement.
And it worked perfectly fine.

[burnt vapor]

Yes, because the first if-statement no longer evaluates to false since you don't set game to false the first frame it's called, allowing you to check for the space key.

I still advice you to change & to && since I doubt you mean to use the former.

So it's fixed then?

[vestal valve]

yeah
I just used it since I'm learning.
Now I use only one if statement

[tired gulch]

Hello, Sir, how to not destroy an object when it hits something? Already tried other.tag != "Player", but it does not work 😦

[fickle karma]

Hello. What would you guys recommend to be the easiest method, when working multiple people on a unity project on different Pc's?

[ivory bobcat]

Use compare tag and do an early exit if the tag was player: cs OnTrigg.. if tag was player return if tag was enemy do stuff do everything else

[ivory bobcat]

Wrong channel #💻┃unity-talk (version control with github relative to programming)

[languid spire]

Think about your logic.
atm you are saying Destroy this game object if it is NOT an Enemy or a Player

[honest haven]

Im trying to get my player to return to its original pos after hammer attack https://gdl.space/aribehosob.cs my debus show this Moving from (1.94, 0.01, -1.78) towards (1.20, 0.01, -1.47) Finished Moving. Current position: (1.20, 0.01, -1.47) what can be stopping it from returning im lost

[ivory bobcat]

I'm guessing he doesn't move?

[honest haven]

He does move

[fringe pollen]

What is not working?

[tired gulch]

By "return", do you mean I just put return 0?

[ivory bobcat]

Does he move then teleport back?

[ivory bobcat]

That function has no return type so you'd just call return

[tired gulch]

Alright, thank you

If you have a prefab that you gonna instantiate to a empty gameobject, does the prefab XYZ transform / rotation matter? I guess it should not since the empty gobject has its trans/rot as well

Hello Sir, I did what you told me to do, but it still doesnt work

[fringe pollen]

Why do you have lerps inside of lerps? It seems to be moving linearly so can't you just lerp between startpos and targetpos?

[ivory bobcat]

    private IEnumerator MoveTowardsPosition(Vector3 targetPos)
    {
        Debug.Log("Moving from " + player.position + " towards " + finalPos);
        while (Vector3.Distance(player.position, finalPos) > 0.1f)
        {
            player.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(player.position, targetPos, walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
            yield return null;
        }
        Debug.Log("Finished Moving. Current position: " + player.position);
    }```You're moving towards the delta and not a position where final position seems to be a delta but is being used as a position. Try this instead.

[honest haven]

thanks guys

Hello i'm trying to do a Pause menu, but for what ever reason when i press my key down, nothing happen, may i have some help about it please ?

https://hastebin.com/share/amazurevik.csharp

[ivory bobcat]

Try a different key, the escape key causes the editor to lose focus in the Unity Editor

[tired gulch]

Thank you, but the result is the same, it's still not working 😦

[wheat cypress]

Ok, i'll try !

[ivory bobcat]

Something else is your problem. Show us what printed.

The console log should have shown something if you hit something other than a player tagged object.

[tired gulch]

Oh, looks like it hit itself?

[wheat cypress]

Still nothing sadly

[ivory bobcat]

Place some logs and see if anything really happens.

[ivory bobcat]

Is the script on the object?

Update doesn't occur if the object isn't active.

[ivory bobcat]

You deactivate it in Start

    void Start()
    {
        pauseMenu.SetActive(false);
  
    }

[ivory bobcat]

.

[wheat cypress]

AH

[ivory bobcat]

You may want to consider modifying the collision matrix to allow certain objects of particular collider to not hit one another.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

ie bullets shouldn't be able to hit other bullets - unless that's your game 😉

[tired gulch]

https://paste.ofcode.org/3a23AQ2tXdYyYKpQBZaWszn

It's working with this code, thank you for your help, but is this costly in performance side?

[ivory bobcat]

Don't worry about optimizations yet. There are a lot of roundabout things to increase performance here and there but they aren't important.

[wheat cypress]

Ok ! Looks like it's working somehow with few problem but that's my matter, so i'll check what i can do on my side, thanks for the help !

[ivory bobcat]

Use the profiler when you finish your game, if optimization is a concern.

[ivory bobcat]

You might get a bit of scrutiny from others though, so maybe this should be considered:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.CompareTag.html

[tired gulch]

Thank you

[tawdry rock]

I need some help how to spawn a prefab as a child to a specific gameobject.
Namely i want to spawn Can of Beef(prefab) to spawn on "spawn_loc_3"(empty gameobject) and be the child of "drawer" or the "spawn_loc_3" gameobject.

I made a GameObject refference to spawnLoc3 and dragged the spawn_loc_3 GO to it. Then i use this code to spawn my prefab:

Instantiate(canOfBeef,
            spawnLoc3.transform.position,
            Quaternion.Euler(spawnLoc3.transform.rotation.x, spawnLoc3.transform.rotation.y, spawnLoc3.transform.rotation.z),
            );

This spawn my prefab to spawnloc3 but it has no parent. If put a simple transform after quaternion then my Can prefab become a child to the "Drawer" not to the "drawer" (i should rename it Drawer root or something..)
I also tried something like Find("drawer") then transform.SetParent but im not sure if it using it correcly and also if i have multipe Drawers in my world how it will be able to find "drawer".

Also what i don't understand if my drawer has box collision at the sides and bottom and my can of beef prefab has rigidbody+ mesh collider with convex it stays perfectly in the drawer but when i move the drawer it falls out of it.

[spark ember]

What can I do to make these snap properly? I want to be able to build a simple box for example and this is what happens, the alignment is completely messed up

The code: https://pastebin.com/BB6twAPy

[ivory bobcat]

You can use the overload of Instantiate with the parent parameter: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html else cache the instance and assign the parent cs var instance = Instantiate(...);Reminder that childing an object will have it at the parent location by default.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.SetParent.html

[tawdry rock]

I want the Can be the child because when moving the drawer it falls out from it (idk why), besides i have perfectly made box collisions for the drawer, so im ok if the Can moves with the drawer with no physics applied to the Can. I will read uppon ur links and see if i can make something work, brb. 🙂

[outer oxide]

Hey, I need some help on making an object appearing or disappearing when its animated or not, I am doing a FPS animation which consists on the arms picking up a box, but I don't know how to make the box disappear at the end of the animation and when it is not animated at the start, I was told to use "SetActive()" but I don't know what the hole script will consist of, I also don't know how where does the script needs to be added, is it in the prefab or only in the object, I also don't know how can I tell the code if the animations playing or not, I tried using a bool parameter in the animator but I didn't got it to work. Some help will be deeply appreciated

[ivory bobcat]

If you want to constrain it to another object without childing, you can try the parent constraint component with the would avoid messing with scaling and whatnot. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ParentConstraint.html

[ivory bobcat]

Should it just visibly disappear but still be there or completely removed? Set activate would sort of remove it whereas disabling the render component could just make it invisible. Depends on your needs.

[outer oxide]

yeah I want it to not be rendered not to disappear completely

but again, I dont know how to do this

[ivory bobcat]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/enabling-and-disabling-components

You'd want to disable the objects renderer component

It should have one to be visible

[outer oxide]

And how can the script know when the animation is starting or ending?

[ivory bobcat]

Google would yield you results about firing coding when animation finishes

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

[outer oxide]

I will try this thx

[ivory bobcat]

You'd probably want to deactivate the box btw and not just make it invisible.

So set active as suggested using animation event https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActive.html

[toxic cloak]

why do my text get low res when setting the scene to free aspect

[ivory bobcat]

Probably try asking in #💻┃unity-talk as this is the coding channel.

why not just continue in #archived-code-general ?
it's the same people there

also crossposting is against the server rules too

[wintry robin]

oh, so i remove here?

[vestal valve]

I could not see the text changing in the game but the console debug is working fine

[slender nymph]

you're destroying the object your coincount is stored on (assuming it isn't static). so every time you enter one of these triggers it increases the coin count from 0 to 1 (assuming nothing else is increasing it in this class) then assigning that 1 to the text

store your coin count on another object that isn't being destroyed and have that assign to the text object. also that if statement is 100% unnecessary

[lean basin]

Hello, I'm currently trying to move from Visual Studio to VSCode for mostly performance reason. In Visual Studio, I can do Ctrl+Click on a class and it will go to the script that has it. What is this operation called, is there a way to do the same with VSCode?

[slender nymph]

that's the Go To Definition. F12 should also do the same thing when you've clicked on a symbol and should work in both vs and vs code. though i do strongly recommend sticking with visual studio instead as its integration with unity is less likely to break

oh and it's also in the right click menu

[keen dew]

VSCode does the same thing with ctrl-click by default

If it doesn't, there's something wrong with the configuration

[lean basin]

It doesn't do that in my vscode. Also go to definition said, No definition found for 'ThisThing'.
I'm using Unity 2022, and have Unity extension in vscode installed.

[slender nymph]

welcome to using vs code with unity

you think it is properly configured because you've followed the steps. but something went wrong somewhere and it just doesn't work

[lean basin]

well, I'm not sure if it's properly configured or not. What I do know is, it doesn't work and I don't know why.

[slender nymph]

well you can try configuring it again and regenerate the project files. !IDE 👇

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

• VS Code*
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

*VS Code's debugger plugin is unsupported.
We recommend using VS or Rider instead.

[slender nymph]

or you can switch back to visual studio which will offer a more robust experience and won't just randomly break

or at least is much less likely to randomly break

[vestal valve]

Thanks
I used the same snippet on game object which is not destroyed and it went well.
I used if statement to check whether the statement is being run or not.(I removed it)

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I have a question. I have searched so many times in google what is an Instance but I still don't understand it clearly? When we write for example instance = this; what does this mean?? Can someone explain to me very carefully what is an instance?

[slender nymph]

that is assigning a variable named instance to the current instance of the object this code is running on.
this is part of how the singleton pattern is typically done in unity

[queen adder]

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class DisconnectPrefab : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Update()
    {
        if (PrefabUtility.GetPrefabType(gameObject) == PrefabType.PrefabInstance)
            PrefabUtility.DisconnectPrefabInstance(this.gameObject);
        DestroyImmediate(this);
    }
}```

now i can keep changing something in my prefab without manually disconnecting it or worrying it will affect already existing prefabs

[main karma]

hello, so I have these 2 functions

  private void Mover_OnContinue(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        transform.DOPlay();
    }

    private void Mover_OnPause(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        transform.DOPause();
    }

the functions work as intended, but the DOPause (dotween) is supposed to pause my tween, but when DOPlay happens, instead of resuming my tween it continues to stay paused until the tween ends and the next one starts, if anyone used Dotween before I would appreciate some help

[tawdry rock]

Im back. So i successfully managed spawning prefabs as child to another gameobject in my scene. However there is a problem i was affraid of.
If i pull the first drawer out of the Drawer Root(the left drawer on the picture) the spawned loot on the second Drawer Root(right drawer on the pic) start to move as well.
And if i move the second Drawer Root's drawer it has no affect on the prefab it contains.

I used GameObject.Find("drawer").transform to set the parent when instantiating and as it looks like it only finds the first gameobject in the hierarchy that is called 'drawer'.
Any idea how to find Drawer Root's drawer and spawn my prefab there in a way that will work if i put bunch of Drawer Root prefabs in my scene?

[slender nymph]

the Find methods just give you the first object they find that matches the criteria. you'll want to get a reference in a better way
https://unity.huh.how/programming/references

[tawdry rock]

What i was thinking about is to make a list and put each gameobject the Root Drawer has into it so i would have a list from 0-3 then i could instantiate somehow according with it.. like if list index = 0 then set parent to that gameobject... is this dumb?

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I ve got an error here any help??

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/common-errors/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[slender nymph]

registering the instances when they are spawned or whatever to a list is a pretty common practice. though i'm not sure that i'm entirely following what you are trying to do

[vestal valve]

How to enable/disable gameobject?

[slender nymph]

SetActive

[tawdry rock]

I simply want to make this prefab called Drawer.
It has a script on it that will randomly choose a loot type(prefab) out of 3, then choose a random place to spawn in 8 different place and it also has a spawn count so each time i reload the scene the Drawer has randomized loot.
I managed to spawn the loot as child to drawers so they move with the drawer when its pulled out. It's all working.
The problem occur as i said when i put two Drawer prefab to my scene, because the Find method only finds the 'drawer' and populate it. So if you look the picture when i pull the left drawer top drawer that 2 loot comes out with it, but the loot on the right Drawer's top drawer moveing as well.
so i just want a simple solution when i instantiate the loot and set the parent it should set it individualy per Drawer prefab.

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe avoid Find and reference the particular Drawer?

[vestal valve]

Thanks
Before asking, I was messing with "enabled".
What is the difference between them?

[slender nymph]

enabled is a property on components so it will only enable/disable that specific component. SetActive is a method on the GameObject to activate (or deactivate) the entire game object

[ivory bobcat]

Enabled is for components.
SetActive is for Game Objects.

[sullen rock]

is there a way to pause execution (= a breakpoint) every time a variable is changed?

[slender nymph]

use a property instead and set a breakpoint on the setter

otherwise you'd need to go through and set breakpoints at every location you assign to the variable

[sullen rock]

thats the thing, Im looking for a place where my class instance is being reinstantiated, so finding those locations is my goal

[ivory bobcat]

Place a break point in the constructor of your non mono class

What is it? (the class)

[sullen rock]

a data entity that is serialized/deserealized from a JSON

Hello everyone, I am looking for someone to work with me on a game I'm working on. As a first time game developer I am struggling with finding the motivation to keep going at a consistent rate when running into constant barriers of issues.
In any case, if anyone is interested in working together feel free to reach out 🙂
Alternatively I am also looking to just get better as a programmer overall and I am willing to join other people's projects as well.
I would like to grow and learn and doing that in a group (for me) is always better!

[ivory bobcat]

Hmm, so which line is the problem?

(I think you should use arrays though if you want to refactor the code for better design pattern and readability)

Other than that.. if it's this line:cs var position = spawnLoc3.transform.position; var rotation = spawnLoc3.transform.rotation; var parent = drawer1.transform; Instantiate(canOfBeef, position, rotation, parent);

[tawdry rock]

Sure i just made a little learning project and i didnt tought much about design pattern and the project just started to growing on me as well as the code and im kinda lazy to refactor it.

/* weapon.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = true;*/

here is the code

pls help

[burnt vapor]

Guess your weapon is like that with no scaling 🤷‍♂️

[oblique gazelle]

no'?

[burnt vapor]

Advice you increase the scale

[oblique gazelle]

here is no pickup

it has a boxcolider

and rigidbody

pls help

[burnt vapor]

Please type your message in a single sentence

My point still stands. You can increase the scaling and make it smaller, or see what affects it to increase it so much.

The code is not explaining a whole lot...

[oblique gazelle]

My weapon is too large scale on pickup its not wokring to pickup it

[ashen ferry]

set localScale to knife scale / parent local scale

or try idk how scales work exactly lol

[oblique gazelle]

weapon.transform.SetParent(hand.transform); //
weapon.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
weapon.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.zero);
weapon.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
weapon.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
/* weapon.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = true;*/

i have this

weapon.transform.SetParent(hand.transform); //
weapon.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
weapon.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.zero);
weapon.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
weapon.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
/* weapon.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = true;*/

its not wokring good

[rich adder]

can u not spam the same code

[ashen ferry]

weapon.transform.localScale = weapon.transform.scale / hand.transform.localScale

[rich adder]

we get it

[queen adder]

Bro you spammed 3 times the same thing

[rich adder]

this dude is on sum

[oblique gazelle]

ok

but need help

i have struggelted 3 days

[rich adder]

you and everyone else

doesnt mean you have to obnoxious about it

[queen adder]

I have been struggling with an inventory system for a month, bit I don't spam my code

[rich adder]

/iamthemaincharacter

[ashen ferry]

how do u struggle 3 days with 5 lines of code tho

[rich adder]

its not the code probably. lack of understanding how scaling/parenting works

[queen adder]

Oh come on he spammed his issue in another 2 channels

[rich adder]

weapon.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
this scales it according to parent scale, so parent is probably bad scaled

[oblique gazelle]

i this t´his

[oblique gazelle]

ok

how to do instead?

[rich adder]

parent it to something that is only 1/1/1 scale?

show scale size for hand

[oblique gazelle]

hand scale

anyone know the problem?

[rich adder]

what is scale of weapon when its parented to hand?

[oblique gazelle]

I havea child gun container

for the hand

here'

"gunContainer"

[rich adder]

show inspector for gunContainer

[oblique gazelle]

this isi where the weapon should be

here

[rich adder]

so is gun container what you selected as the hand transform

[oblique gazelle]

yes

that true

now the problem is the scale is too big

[rich adder]

so whats the scale weapon

[ashen ferry]

just parent it in editor see how it changes

[oblique gazelle]

did it

but not wokring

[ashen ferry]

if scale doesnt change then u dont change it in code

[oblique gazelle]

wdym

[ashen ferry]

actually now that I think abt it why do u change the scale lol

weapon.transform.localScale = Vector3.one; this part why u need that

[oblique gazelle]

yeah``?

[ashen ferry]

delete that line and try

[oblique gazelle]

whta

[ashen ferry]

aight bro nvm

[oblique gazelle]

remove that line?

lok

maybe wor,ing now

mayne working?

maybe

When in doubt, try #💻┃unity-talk
They'll send you the right way or help you.

[uncut dune]

thank you

[ivory bobcat]

Does anything print?

[vestal valve]

how to trigger a button using an input key(spacebar)?
I'm using mouse click.

[drowsy blade]

you mean on the console? yes, the camera index

[sullen rock]

I work with a different VR framework, so I'm not sure about this particular implication, but wouldn't simply moving the original avatar be easier?

[rich adder]

OnClick method can be subscribed to

or you mean using spacebar to use button?

just link up the same method

[vestal valve]

yeah
is it related to code?

[rich adder]

yeah probably

[rich adder]

which method on button do you want to call ?

[ivory bobcat]

What does it print: ```cs
private void Update()
{

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
    {
        Debug.Log($"Kamera before:\nIndex: {currentCameraIndex},\nCamera:{cameras[currentCameraIndex].name}");
        cameras[currentCameraIndex].gameObject.SetActive(false);
        avatars[currentCameraIndex].gameObject.SetActive(false);
        rightHands[currentCameraIndex].gameObject.SetActive (false);

[oblique gazelle]

I need help to make the player aim right in unity

[drowsy blade]

hm, my problem is, i want to show different avatars with a simple click and thought to simply swith the cameras would work... but the controlls position dont swith with it, sadly, they are still on default

[summer stump]

Stop repeating yourself. Give more info if you want an answer. And stop cross-posting...

[oblique gazelle]

oik

[vestal valve]

Restart()

[oblique gazelle]

hello my knife not aiming at the right target

only my hand

[rich adder]

seems you have it already nno? whats the issue?

[sullen rock]

If I understand this correctly, you mean showing avatar models rigged onto a VR camera rig of some sorts in a mirror (or something similar)?

[drowsy blade]

nope, just a switch between them, the camera should move with it. the 2 avatars have different leg modeling and i want to switch between them to show the differences

[oblique gazelle]

my weapon is not aiming in that direction of hand pls help

???

[languid spire]

<@&502884371011731486> Can someone please explain the rules of the server to @oblique gazelle Again

[rich adder]

they have

they just dont care because " i need help plz"

they have main character syndrome

[ivory bobcat]

So it's activating properly. What's the issue?

[oblique gazelle]

anyone jump in voice to help me ??

[vestal valve]

That one belongs to old one where I didn't use button.
Just a text to tell how to to restart.
I just simply overwritten the code(I will delete the old one soon).

[rich adder]

I wouldnt even if you paid me

[frosty hound]

I honestly think they don't realize people are actually talking to them. Language thing? No idea.

[summer stump]

I said to do more info and they posted that picture. I think they thought that was enough?

[rich adder]

well they can't follow basic instructions, explains why they're struggling

[sullen rock]

I've tried similar stuff when working with a different framework (oculus integration) and honestly, there was almost always a better solution, wouldn't simply changing the active avatar visuals be easier for you?

I'd like to help more, but it's tough without knowing the framework, I'd recommend #🥽┃virtual-reality if nobody here is able to help

[rich adder]

yeah but what exactly do you want to do then i dont understand that part, seems you have both methods

[drowsy blade]

after the switch, the vr controlls of my left avatar are still on the right avatar, if i use them, they dont update the position

[vestal valve]

Forget everything.
I just need both on click and space bar to implement the button.
On click comes by default.
But not spacebar.
So how to include it.

[drowsy blade]

that sounds way easier, but i dont know how to do that 😦 im still new

[rich adder]

you want something like OnClick you mean?

where you can link method in inspector ?

wdym "implement the button"

[ivory bobcat]

Well you aren't doing anything other than deactivating and activating objects.
I'm not sure how activating should change position
Maybe you ought to do something else like parent the objects to left and right hand?
Reminder: I haven't got a clue what any of the objects being activated are.

[sullen rock]

Can your setup rig 2 different avatars to the controllers at once?

It yes, enable/disable them directly

[ivory bobcat]

If anything maybe update the positions after activating 🤷‍♂️
Or childing the objects to hand or setting a parent constraint component to the particular hand if you aren't wanting it to scale (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ParentConstraint.html) etc

[drowsy blade]

hierarchy looks like this

[vestal valve]

When I click(using mouse) the button executes the function assigned to it.
Now I want the same but instead of using click(using mouse), I just need to hit spacebar(keyboard).
Yeah, I think yes, I might need another on click but it must be triggered by spacebar.

[sullen rock]

What is on the "head vr target" gameobject?

As in, what components

[rich adder]

public UnityEvent MyMethod```
```cs
void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Spacebar)){
MyMethod?.Invoke; }
}```
something like this maybe

[drowsy blade]

hm none, it was a empty gameObject which i put down in the ik follow target skript of my second avatar

[sullen rock]

Okay, probably last question, we are getting there... do you want the avatars to be in the same place or no?

[drowsy blade]

hm, would be nice, but i guess it doesnt matter, i just want to show the differences between them

so right now my camera teleports to the corresponding position of the avatar if i use the script

[sullen rock]

In that case create 2 avatars and rig them to the same target gameobject and then, instead of enabling/disabling the camera and hands, just enable/disable the avatars themselves

I'd suggest adding a short "fader" just to make it look a little nicer, but that's extra and adds no functionality other than being prettier

[drowsy blade]

ah ok, cool. Gonna try this, ty 🙂

[sullen rock]

Let me know how it goes!

[vestal valve]

An idea struck on my mind out of nowhere, and tried this on my own.
But that ended up I must do both clicking the button and hitting spacebar to restart the game.

I'm not used to unityevent(I literally have 0 knowledge on that), if thats the only solution I will try it.

[rich adder]

thsi wont work unless restart()was inside update

or some other place where you can affectively poll for inputs

the way you had it here was good
#💻┃code-beginner message

[hushed hinge]

I don't know what happened

[vestal valve]

I changed it back as u said. Now its working.
But this is an indirect approach since the spacebar doesn't trigger the button, but directly invokes the restart() function.
Anyways, the player doesn't know that.

[polar acorn]

It's nothing important. You've just got mixed line ending characters which means if you get errors the line numbers might not be fully accurate

best way to keep a third person camera from clipping into walls?

[rich adder]

yes thats the way to do it, the only way you can link UI buttons OnClick with Keypresses from Keyboard / GamePad
using StandAlone Input Module
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-StandaloneInputModule.html

[polar acorn]

If you're using Cinemachine, you can set up special camera-only colliders that prevent it from moving past them
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/CinemachineCollider.html

If you're not using Cinemachine, use Cinemachine

[sly lintel]

What if its a first person camera in third person?

[polar acorn]

...what?

[sly lintel]

Think of how doom looks but instead of the character being on the UI its right in front

Trust, I'm doing it for the vibe

[fringe pollen]

First person camera shouldn't clip into walls if player's camera is large enough

[vestal valve]

I will learn them later .

You'll need to break the problems down and tackle each one individually. If you get stuck, you can ask for help here if it's related to programming else there isn't any !collab here.

[outer oxide]

Hey, Using a script and Animation Events I made an prefab disappear when its animation was not playing, I got it to work but now the animation won't start, I believe it is because the script for making the prefab disappear is present in a parent of the it but the script that launches the animation is in the prefab itself and that maybe causes a bug when the two got to start at the same time, I tested and saw that the animation was not starting at all in the Animator, is there any way to fix this?

[summer stump]

What do you mean disappear? Disable or Destroy? Destroy can take a time parameter, so you could delay the destruction. Or you could move the animation code to the parent.

There really isn't enough information to give a good answer.

Also, I am assuming you mean an instance of a .prefab, not the actual .prefab asset?

[outer oxide]

I am just making the instance of the prefab Inactive, both the prefab and the parent of the prefab have an animator, heres a screenshot which shows how it is layed out

"Iphone" and "Iphoneprefab" got an animator but the purpose is different, "Iphone" is for setting Iphoneprefab to inactive while Iphoneprefab launches the animation

[regal totem]

Confused. Arn't I supposed to see a culling mask option on my lights? I've turned on show extra settings aswell.

[summer stump]

There is an OnDisable method. Maybe call the animation in there?

I guess the question is, WHEN is the animation supposed to run. And what object is the animation affecting

[clear steppe]

wdym ?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@12.0/manual/Light-Layers.html

[clear steppe]

look i'm just tryna learn how to use newstonsoft

it doesn't seem that i have it

[ivory bobcat]

Did you follow a tutorial?

[clear steppe]

what tutorial

there's no tutorial explaining how to use newstonsoft

[outer oxide]

the animation is supposed to run when the player interacts with an object, when they do it activates it for both animators then using a trigger in the code of the object that the player can interact with

[ivory bobcat]

Lookup: "newtonsoft unity tutorial"

[summer stump]

Animations can't run on disabled objects, and code can't either. So I guess the next question is, why disable it?

You can disable the renderer if you want it invisible

[outer oxide]

to make it disappear, I was told here that set it to inactive was good for this

[summer stump]

It is, if you want it to be invisible AND not do anything

Otherwise it is bad for that

Disable the renderer for just making it invisible

[outer oxide]

gonna try this, thx

i can't find a single good result

i just wanna how to set it up

[regal totem]

@rich adder I've checked the HDRP Settings, Light Layers are enabled. I also to just to try did the 2nd part and did it manual on the camera to enable light layers. Still not seeing the culling mask. I'm still not seeing the additional Properties

It would be talking about the general section in the light inspector right?

[rich adder]

should be the 3 dots on the light component

General section

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@12.0/manual/More-Options.html

[regal totem]

got it already =\

ohp

derp I found it.

[rich adder]

😅

[regal totem]

It was under the quality of hdrp

instead of of HDRP global settings

bastards tricked me

[rich adder]

which version of HDRP

maybe i sent older version of docs?

[regal totem]

would be for 2022.37 of unity I have

[rich adder]

ahh

HDRP @ 14

idk still says same spot when i switched it 🤷

[oblique gazelle]

Hello i need help to make the chacter shoot at target

[regal totem]

oh well 😛 ty kind sir

[queen adder]

whats the issue

are you trying to shoot with Raycast or projectile?

[oblique gazelle]

the body and whole character should rotate to aim direction

[queen adder]

why should it?

[queen adder]

can you show more info? like script, setup, hierarchy

[dusk minnow]

It keeps telling me towerScript.impactTime is not set to an instance

[polar acorn]

Then towerScript is null

[dusk minnow]

it isnt

[slender nymph]

if the issue is that towerScript.impactTime line then towerScript is null which means this object nor any of its parents have that component

[polar acorn]

That means there's no CannonTower component on this object or any of its parents

[dusk minnow]

they do

[polar acorn]

Your error says otherwise

[dusk minnow]

it even logs

[polar acorn]

Try logging specifically towerScript

[slender nymph]

show the full error including the stack trace

and share the !code correctly

[polar acorn]

What's line 19

[slender nymph]

and what is line 19 of MoveCannonBullet

[dusk minnow]

it is debuglog towerScript.impactTime

but there iam setting it then instantiating the bullet

[slender nymph]

would you look at that, towerScript is null

[polar acorn]

Okay, so towerScript is null

[dusk minnow]

look at the top

towerscript

cannon tower

is not null

[polar acorn]

It is

[slender nymph]

it's not null there. but it's null on other objects

[polar acorn]

Try printing it

see

There is 100% certainty that there exists a MoveCannonBullet for whom towerScript is null. This is not up for debate

[dusk minnow]

ok

[slender nymph]

add this line to the beginning of your Start method
Debug.Assert(towerScript != null, $"Oh look, boxfriend and digiholic were right! towerScript is null on {name}", gameObject);

[ebon lark]

use a debugger pls,

[merry rapids]

guys i found an .prefab file and i know nothing about unity how can i open this file?

[dusk minnow]

i need help not a clown

[slender nymph]

wdym you "found" a prefab file?

[polar acorn]

That will help you

It'll show that towerscript is null and which object it's null on

[slender nymph]

and you can even click the error message when it appears to have the object highlighted in the hierarchy

[dusk minnow]

so i have cannonTower and the script attached why is it null then

[ebon lark]

use the debugger my friend, it will tell you what is null

[polar acorn]

"There exists a MoveCannonBullet for whom towerScript is null" does not mean "Every MoveCannonBullet has a null towerScript"

[polar acorn]

The presence of one of these scripts with the value set doesn't mean that all of them are set

[dusk minnow]

did

why is it looking in the object itself

[polar acorn]

So, when you click on that error, it will highlight an object in the hierarchy. Does that object, or one of its parents, have a CannonTower

[dusk minnow]

ah ik the issue

thanks

[tawdry rock]

How performance heavy is shooting a ray in every frame thru update method?

[polar acorn]

Not very. Raycasts don't actually "shoot" anything, they're basically just pure math, and computers are very good at pure math

[slender nymph]

also if you have performance concerns you should use the profiler

[polar acorn]

It's not free, if you can reduce your raycasts you should, but don't be afraid to have a whole bunch every frame

[slender nymph]

because it pretty much always Depends™️

[summer stump]

For reference, my fps movement script I use 4 casts every frame. 3 rays in a tripod for ground checking and a spherecast for aim assist

[tawdry rock]

Nice, i made a simple ray that check for collides that provides information to the player, for example press F to pick up or hold F and move mouse up/down.
the problem is if the ray collide with the loot, and the player pick it up and the ray is just shooting to thin air and doesnt collide with anything the UI doesnt get turned off (untill it finds something that has collison), how do i do that?
i tried something hit.collider.transform.tag == null but that didnt worked

[summer stump]

Is the raycast in an if statement?

Just do an else and turn off the ui

[tawdry rock]

RaycastHit hit;
Debug.DrawRay(Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.forward * rayRange, Color.white, 2f);

Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.forward, out hit, rayRange);

if (hit.collider.transform.tag == "F Button")
{
    fButt.gameObject.SetActive(true);

}
else
{
    fButt.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}


if (hit.collider.transform.tag == "Mouse UI")
{
    mouseButt.gameObject.SetActive(true);

}
else
{
    mouseButt.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}

[slender nymph]

this is going to throw an NRE when the raycast hits nothing

[summer stump]

Raycast returns a bool. (True when collides, false when it doesn't) I would make it into an if statement, and put all the rest INSIDE that statement

[slender nymph]

use the Physics.Raycast call as the condition for an if statement, then put what you want to do when nothing is hit in the else block

[tawdry rock]

what is a NRE?

[summer stump]

NullReferenceException

[slender nymph]

NullReferenceException. you know, that error in your console you've been ignoring 😉

[tawdry rock]

Ohh i was testing Maximized not on focus, didnt noticed the Console 😄

[slender nymph]

you should enable error pause, especially if you aren't seeing the console

[ebon lark]

you can use hit?.collider to avoid

[slender nymph]

if an error happens the game will pause so you can see what it is and view the state of your scene when it happens

[dawn sparrow]

I'm trying to get a reference to an equipment slot field on my character and set it to a new equipment object, but it's telling me this

[slender nymph]

the raycast hit is a struct so that won't work. and you should also not be using null conditional operators with unity objects so you shouldn't use that on hit.collider either

[tawdry rock]

very good tip for debuging

[dawn sparrow]

I'm pretty sure I'm approaching this very wrong, but I'm trying to get a reference to a certain eqiupment slot parameter on my character so i can set it to whatever i want

[summer stump]

I mean do this btw

RaycastHit hit;
Debug.DrawRay(Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.forward * rayRange, Color.white, 2f);

if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.forward, out hit, rayRange))
{
  // do checks
}
else
{
 //turn off UI
}

God typing code on a phone sucks

[ebon lark]

good to know..always thought its an object

[tawdry rock]

but i really appreciate it :3

[slender nymph]

even if it were a reference type, using the null conditional operator with UnityEngine.Object types can result in errors because it doesn't use the overloaded equality operator which is how unity checks if an object has been destroyed. so it wouldn't be null but it could be destroyed which means you'd end up with a MissingReferenceException or some other similar exception when accessing any of its properties

always use the equality operator to check unity objects for null to avoid issues with that fake null

[ebon lark]

thx, just wanted to ask that

[dawn sparrow]

What does this mean? How do I get a reference to a field?

[slender nymph]

why are you using ref there? what are you actually trying to do?

[dawn sparrow]

I'm trying to get a reference to a field on a given character, so that I can set it to a new equipment

Should I be sending these with one of those code pastebin websites?

[slender nymph]

yes, large blocks of !code should always be sent in a bin site

Gotcha, apologies

[slender nymph]

also https://xyproblem.info/

[dawn sparrow]

But yeah this is what my goal is

[dawn sparrow]

I'll read through it, thanks

[slender nymph]

you also don't "reference" fields. it sounds like you should be passing the object that has the field and just assign to it through that. but you're being incredibly cryptic about what you are actually trying to achieve

there's technically the option of passing something by reference as a parameter to a method, but that's typically not what you want/need

[dawn sparrow]

https://pastebin.com/RJzqQPjF

Here's my full function, the switch at line 17 is what I'm trying to avoid

I don't understand coding terminology fully so I'm not able to ask my question very effectively, sorry

[slender nymph]

why is this method static

[dawn sparrow]

It doesn't need any information from the an instance of the Toolbox class it's housed in to perform its function

[ebon lark]

is GameItem a strut?

[dawn sparrow]

GameItem is a class

[slender nymph]

so why do you have some other class handling assigning to fields on your CharacterManager class?

also a much easier way to handle this would be an array with a set number of slots using your EquipmentIndex enum as the index for that array

[ebon lark]

the first come in my mind is to use an inteface to do that

[dawn sparrow]

I use the Toolbox class as something to chuck all my helper functions in

[slender nymph]

this sounds like you are overengineering yourself into a corner

[dawn sparrow]

Would a dictionary work? I split it up into 6 seperate fields for readability purposes, so I wouldn't distinguish between the slots by index but rather actual names

Maybe a Dictionary<enum, GameItem> ?

[slender nymph]

sure that would work just as well

it doesn't really enforce a set number of slots though. and if you're passing an int anyway you'd then have to cast to your enum

[dawn sparrow]

Yeah

I think I have a good idea for my second approach to this

[slender nymph]

but it still seems like you're way overengineering this stuff and also trying to force it to be functional rather than object oriented

[dawn sparrow]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the advice

[lofty sequoia]

Does Unity use either .NET framework or .NET runtime?

[slender nymph]

the current supported backends are .net framework 4.8 and .net standard 2.1

it also depends on the version of unity you are using though. for example 2020 supports .net standard 2.0 instead of 2.1

they are currently making an effort to switch over to the CoreCLR which should (hopefully) happen within the next year. and once they do that should give access to the latest .net versions

[lofty sequoia]

So having .NET framework or .NET runtime is essentially a prerequisite of using Unity?

[slender nymph]

yes. unity's scripting language is c# which is built on top of .net

[lofty sequoia]

gotcha, thank you

"Define "not working properly""

[oblique gazelle]

The problem is to rotate player to aim target, with mouseposition?

Cant rotate the, body and hand or weapion in my game

[slender nymph]

i genuinely cannot tell if this person is trolling or not. i'm going to go ahead and assume they are and just block them

[autumn cargo]

perhaps language barrier ?\

[oblique gazelle]

do you want image picture of my problem

??

[ivory bobcat]

Which part is not working? Break the problem down.

Is mouse input not correct?

What part have you gotten to that's not what's expected?

Place some logs.

[swift sedge]

It seems as if your VS Code isn't configured properly.

[verbal dome]

What is the point of using Clamp with a range from 5 to 5? It's the same as just setting it to 5

[oblique gazelle]

wanna make my player aim to target

with guns

[verbal dome]

Also your x and y in the first Rotate seem flipped

[oblique gazelle]

wdym?

[verbal dome]

X mouse should rotate the Y axis

And vice versa

[oblique gazelle]

yes

but i have problem to do it

with all of the body

[verbal dome]

I just pointed out a couple of problems in your code 🤷‍♂️

[oblique gazelle]

wdym

i will show

Thx

but that chat is ded

He told you about some issues:

[polar acorn]

Have you tried actually asking a question instead of just saying "I need help" and expecting people to just guess what your issues are

[limpid dawn]

lol sry i will try

[ivory bobcat]

You definitely won't get help from that channel if you don't put effort. Here's a suggestion to get better responses https://dontasktoask.com/.
Ask in that channel, it's the correct location.

how to make aim to mousepos unity

[limpid dawn]

Thx

[polar acorn]

Listen, you have got to continue one of the existing conversations instead of just abandoning it and asking the original question again

[young smelt]

Ok so I want to make a projectile barrage and have no idea how to get started with it. Projectiles should lauch from the player while making some initial curves before straight up lauching at the target

Let me send a picture

[ivory bobcat]

Break the problem down.
Your first question should be

I am trying to make a projectile [to] launch[..] at a target. I've Googled X and have tried Y but am stuck. This is my code where I am able to get Z working but am stuck with W. Does anyone see anything that could be a problem with this one line of code that I've narrowed it down to?

The arc and rapid barrage can be implemented later.

[ebon lark]

you can use physics to do that,randomize your projectiles initial speed and diretion,and set an attarctor at the target

[young smelt]

I can't send my code because my PC is dead but what I've done so far is use perlin noise at the beginning.

[ivory bobcat]

Fix your PC first before trying to fix this. No code means theoretical talks which do not amount to much.

[young smelt]

Actually I could settle on theoretical talk and just make more research then do it when the light comes on but I get ur point

[young smelt]

I'll try that thanks. Could be better than perlin

[ebon lark]

if you dont need a per-projectile handler,maybe particle system can do the job

[dusk musk]

Hey everyone! Can someone help me getting my Enemy prefabs to face my Player? I already have them moving towards my Player, with the below script. I've tried all kinds of things for rotating, but no luck. I tried local.transform, and AddTorque to the Rigidbody, but no luck yet. Can someone help me? Here's also a video showing what currently happens, and my full script.

        Vector3 lookDirection = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized; //Moves the enemy towards the player
        enemyRb.AddForce(lookDirection * enemySpeed, ForceMode.Impulse); //Adds force to the enemy's Rigidbody

https://gdl.space/uhezetomap.cpp

[young smelt]

Oh, I nv thought of using particle system. I should look into both of these ideas thnks

[ebon lark]

tranform.forward = lookDirection

[dusk musk]

I will give that a try, thank you.
