I am trying, but you will not engage in actual conversation.

People get help here every day.
Most people have no idea what they are doing.

But they do get successful help, when they

  1. Properly answer questions
  2. Follow instructions
  3. Speak in complete sentences

What I did find, is a channel with a video, with what I think you are asking about:

ohhhhhhh

#

ok thank you so much

slender nymph

https://hastebin.com/share/udinijakiz.csharp hey friends, i've tried to set a max zoom in/max zoom out float on a dynamic zooming camera for a 2d platformer... but its not working. if i hold down the space bar it can zoom out indefinitely.

#

oh also, is there a reason the player is a child of the tilemap? 🤔

wintry quarry
#

and in fact has a Tilemap component and tilemap renderer component :O

slender nymph
#

oh wow yeah, this is all kinds of weird

wintry quarry
#

I mean what I said ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Hard to say. There are several things wrong

#

probably start over

#

don't use Tilemaps as characters

#

share your code as per the bot message above

#

then try again

#

If you're following a tutorial I'd say start from the beginning

slender nymph
#

i'm gonna bet that the player tilemap has a few other tiles on it and maybe even a tilemap collider which is causing the rigidbody2d to make it freak out. and then the transform.Translate in the code is probably making it worse

wintry quarry
#

thank you - yes mixing transform.Translate with Rigidbody motion is definitely a bad idea

#

but it's only one of your problems

slender nymph
#

when using a rigidbody you should stick to the rigidbody for movement rather than moving it via the transform. that way you won't be ignoring colliders when moving and actually moving with physics.
there are a few ways to move a rigidbody, you can assign its velocity, you can use AddForce, or you can use MovePosition. the latter is intended to be used with kinematic rigidbodies though

hidden bone
slender nymph
#

stuttery camera rotation usually means you are multiplying your mouse input by deltaTime

hidden bone
#

i dont think i am

# 
        mouseY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y");
         
        yRotation += mouseX * sensX * multiplier;
        xRotation -= mouseY * sensY * multiplier;

        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        camHolder.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0);
        orientation.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);```
slender nymph
#

why do you have both a sensitivity and a multiplier? 🤔 the sensitivity is the multiplier

hidden bone
#

good point

#

im gonna try removing it

slender nymph
#

but it's also possible that you are simply moving/rotating the camera on a different time step than your other objects. or perhaps doing it earlier in the frame.
my advice is to just use cinemachine. it's super easy to set up for a basic camera like this

hidden bone
#

cinemachine?

#

idk what that is

#

but uh

#

this wasnt a problem before

#

this became a problem after i tried to add networking

#

and i've since then given up on the networking and reverted the scripts

#

i only changed 2 of them and looking through them, i cant seem to find anything that could be the issue

hidden bone
#

perhaps its some setting in the editor i need to change?

slender nymph
#

then provide more context

hidden bone
#

should i show the hierarchy and the inspector?

slender nymph
#

sure. also more of the code

hidden bone
#

camera is under cameraholder

slender nymph
#

your sensitivity is about 100x higher than it should be

hidden bone
#

the camera has a follow script

hidden bone
slender nymph
#

but why

#

just remove the multiplier and set the sensitivity to 1

hidden bone
#

cuz 100 is an easier number for me

#

makes more sense to me at least

#

the camera follow script is just private void Update() => transform.position = cameraPosition.position;

tawdry rock
summer stump
slender nymph
hidden bone
#

no i mean its easier if i wanna change the sensitivity

slender nymph
#

how is that any easier

hidden bone
#

cuz then i can change it to something like 120 rather than 1.2

#

and i like whole numbers

hidden bone
slender nymph
#

depends, do you move your other objects in FixedUpdate? if yes, then yes moving the camera at the same rate you move your other objects is ideal. if not, then try LateUpdate so your camera isn't potentially updating 1 frame late

hidden bone
#

i move the player in fixed update

#

do i need to change the scripts in any way or can i just turn the Update into FixedUpdate

slender nymph
#

okay well i'm going to go back to my earlier advice and say just use cinemachine

hidden bone
#

alright thanks

hey I already posted this but just gonna try again.

This is suppose to generate a line between the startpoistion and end position.

the line doesn't appear.

Ive checked the camera, layers, line width etc,

made sure the points are in the right place

but it still won't display the line

I made sure the function was running with debug.

image.png image.png image.png
polar acorn
#

Is the line renderer set to display in world space

autumn cargo
#

aw shit

#

it is now but it still didn't appear

eternal needle
polar acorn
#

Try logging startPosition.position and endPosition.position and see if they're where you expect them to be

autumn cargo
#

whats in the gameobject transform doesn't match up with what displayed in debug.log

#

hold on

#

why would they be so different

rare basin
#

you didint even show what are you debug loggin

#

how can we know

autumn cargo
ivory bobcat
#

Are you referencing prefabs? Do the objects have parents?

autumn cargo
#

they are children of the player object so they move with the player object

image.png
ivory bobcat
#

Is the parent scaled?

rich adder
autumn cargo
#

I made the ball smaller recently.. but before I made the gameobject

#

so I guess it is scaledi think

ivory bobcat
autumn cargo
rich adder
polar acorn
# autumn cargo

The inspector shows local position, relative to the parent. You're printing the world position.

last grove
autumn cargo
#

I had no problem with creating a line renderer from a drag motion so odd

ivory bobcat
#

If anything consider printing the local position and seeing if it's the value you want. I'm not able to see the behavioral changes since I'm not in front of your computer. See if the values are accurate and go from there.

autumn cargo
#

the position from the debug.. how can I see if they are the same as the ones in the inspector if inspector is world view?

ivory bobcat
#

The inspector values are the local position

autumn cargo
#

they are now the same

#

still nothing

#

also just tried a new shader for sprite diffuse, and default sprite shader nothin

hey i have this issue in my 2D platformer controller where on my tileset, the sloped terrain will have the 'player' slowly slide down without moving and is overall not pleasant to the eye or feel, here is the code: https://hatebin.com/gdmpuqgzfk, i'm hoping there is a simple fix to this because i've seen this in games and it looks really well made and i want to know how to do that properly

twin bolt
#

I have a puzzle i'm trying to create that consists of 4 arrows with different rotations, that require the player to interact with each arrow in the right order. How could i go by doing this, while also allowing for me, to be able to customize the order of buttons from the editor?

sage folio
#

well i would say you could use if statements on variables that define the order through the editor, and if the if statements do match up at any point than reset back to the first

#

but i'm not entirely the most educated

twin bolt
sage folio
#

as long as you know basic c# than you should be generally alright, however if you need help with the code i can give you a example

twin bolt
#

Nah i think i got it, thank you.

sage folio
#

yeah no problem

rare basin
#

Queue and serializable class

twin bolt
# sage folio yeah no problem

I got it working, suprisingly on my first try, i just used a list of directions, and checked if the current button, contains the name of the first direction, and if it does it increases the current index in the list, and if not it restarts the index to the beginning.

        {
            FlipModel();
        }```
#

Could you explain your logic here

ashen ferry
#

that raycast looks a lil short tho if its never grounded it will keep flipping

timber tide
#

Ah, ok I think I understand it. If you're getting help from your teacher you should ask them to leave comments, but what I believe is the idea is that it should flip when it comes to a ledge, but since your enemy is too far above and the raycast is too short like BlinDeex was saying, then it's going to be stuck flipping.

hushed hinge
fossil harness
#

You can try to refactor to be more discrete, I.e.

if (enemyMovement > 0)
{
    SetLookRight();
} 
else if (enemyMovement < 0)
{
    SetLookLeft();
}

(Or some enum for left/right)

#

This should prevent weird logic states

static cedar
#

Yeah that's more preferable. You can have the !is_looking_right condition inside the LookRight function instead.

Hey I have a little issue with a 2D platformer where when I make a moving platform the player does not always move smoothly with it. With a vertical one it send the player up a little above the platform when it reaches the top and starts going down. Also with horizontal ones the player moves with the platform but slides a little when it switches directions. I'm using rigidbody.velocity for player movement and platform movement. The way the platform moves is by setting a counter to count up and down depending on which way the block is moving and it'll flip and start moving the other way once the counter goes up or down. That part works fine but how do I get the player to stop sliding on the platform without using a crazy amount of friction because then the player struggles to move on the platform? Also with the vertical moving block how do I get it to not send the player into a little jump at the top?

I'm trying to create a JSON by parsing multiple objects in a foreach loop, now, the way I'm doing it is by building a string and then converting it into JSON.

void Saver()
{
    Asset data = new Asset();
    Debug.Log("Saving file as level_" + levelName + "...");
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    assetScript[] scriptobjects = Object.FindObjectsOfType<assetScript>();
    List<GameObject> objects = new List<GameObject>();
    foreach (assetScript script in scriptobjects)
    {
        objects.Add(script.gameObject);
    }

    foreach (GameObject obj in objects)
    {
        data.objName = obj.name;
        data.posX = obj.transform.position.x; 
        data.posY = obj.transform.position.y;
        data.assetId = obj.GetComponent<assetScript>().assetId;
        string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(data, true);

        Debug.Log(json.ToString());
        sb.AppendLine(json);
        
    }
    File.WriteAllText(Application.persistentDataPath + $"/level_{levelName}.json", sb.ToString());
}```
This is fine however I need these objects to be in an array for loading purposes, I tried making a list of objects but the output file is always {} and i don't get why.
#

this is the code with the list:

void Saver()
{
    List<Asset> dataList = new List<Asset>(); 
    assetScript[] scriptobjects = Object.FindObjectsOfType<assetScript>();
    List<GameObject> objects = new List<GameObject>();
    foreach (assetScript script in scriptobjects)
    {
        objects.Add(script.gameObject);
    }

    foreach (GameObject obj in objects)
    {
        Asset data = new Asset(); 
        data.objName = obj.name;
        data.posX = obj.transform.position.x;
        data.posY = obj.transform.position.y;
        data.assetId = obj.GetComponent<assetScript>().assetId;
        dataList.Add(data);
    }

    string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(dataList.ToArray(), true);

    Debug.Log(json);

    File.WriteAllText(Application.persistentDataPath + $"/level_{levelName}.json", json);

X X X - the first status in the left has expired

deleting or disabling one of the children should also cause it to reorder

Sorry to bother you again. I have my main menu scene as index 0 and my first level as index 1. the 3 second timer starts while I'm on the menu. So if im on the menu for 4 seconds. the timer has already passed. I didnt know that the other scenes are active. Do you know a way top deactivate a scene until it's active?

#

just create the repo right inside the project folder

#

or drag all of the files created by git in whatever folder you created the repo in into your project folder. then you can point your gui client (probably github desktop if i had to guess) to that folder

#

it's not a "bullshit system" just because you don't know how to follow directions

I'm a little confused about this Graph class. It says its type is Location but you can use it with whatever other type? What is this called? I've been trying to google what this is but I can't really find anything. Type override? I had assumed you needed to make it generic to do something like this. The <Location> is declaring which type can be overriden I guess?

image.png
slender nymph
#

I'm pretty sure this is just a generic class where the generic type parameter is called Location. it's not actually using a type called Location here, it's just the name you've given to the generic type parameter

#

replace all instances of the word Location in that class with T and it will make more sense to you as to what is actually happening

maiden jay
#

Yeah as T it makes more sense to me but there's also a struct for Location so idk

image.png
#

I guess it still works that way

slender nymph
#

right but that struct is 100% irrelevant to your Graph class. you just happened to give the generic type parameter the same name as the struct

#

the reason i suggested replacing Location with T in Graph was because it is functionally the same exact thing. there is no difference except in the name of your generic type parameter. T is just the standard name used for it much like how i is the standard loop iterator name. you can give it whatever name you want, in this case you've given it the name Location, and it doesn't change what it is or what it does, just what it is called

# 
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
  Debug.Log(i);

for(int Location = 0; Location < 3; Location++)
  Debug.Log(Location);

these loops are functionally identical. the only difference is that i called the second loop's variable Location instead of i. that doesn't mean it has anything to do with your Location struct

maiden jay
#

Yeah I guess.

why are you even accessing the Build class namespace in a PlayerMovement script? 🤔

hello, I have 2 Transform object. I wanted to set one object's rotation.y so that the first transform is facing another transform.
How do I do that?

What I'm doing now is
deltaTransform = transform1.position-transform2.position
and then setting the rotation like this
transform1.rotation.y = Mathf.atan2(deltaPosition.z,deltaPositionx)
transform1.rotation = Vector3(0f,Mathf.atan2(deltaPosition.z,deltaPositionx),0f)

is this incorrect? it doesn't seem to do what I wanted.

thank you so much boxfriend

lean basin
slender nymph
#

well Atan2 does return the angle in radians. but you don't even need to use it. just use Quaternion.LookRotation to get the desired rotation

lean basin
#

what the fuck is a quaternion, apologize for my language.

Unity has a lot of build in inheritable classes that make it easier to do this

#

Generally your editor code ends up in a seperate file inside an Editor folder. Unity will automatically strip these files when you make a build.

#

Otherwise, use conditional compilation as boxfriend mentioned, which means Unity will ignore the editor specific code inside the conditional

Hello, I'm very new to programming. And I was wondering if there was an Unity in-build way to verify that someone has drew correctly on a pre-set segment ? Maybe, a kind of trigger or whatever ? I don't even know how to put my question, sorry if I'm being confusing.

Like in those learning app where u have to draw a symbol ans it checks if you have written it correctly. Thanks you

#

Like verifying that each segment has been drew on the right place ? Some kind of trigger that i'm not aware of maybe ?

frosty hound
#

There is no built in way, no

#

Maybe check the asset store?

wet anvil
frosty hound
#

Where people make custom tools, assets, etc. See if someone made a game template or something that includes this feature.

wet anvil
#

Where do I find such store ?

#

Is there like an official place for that?

wintry quarry
#

Yes, the asset store

frosty hound
#

Yes, you can google the Unity asset store for the link

Anyone here know how to get a 2d sprite to point at the mouse? Because I tried but I kept pointing in 3d and disappearing.

slender nymph
#

get direction from sprite to mouse, assign either its transform.up or transform.right to that direction depending on the direction the sprite faces when not rotated

#

don't use transform.LookAt for 2d objects

frail hound
slender nymph
#

no, did you even read what i said?

frail hound
slender nymph
#

please learn to read

frail hound
slender nymph
#

assign either its transform.up or transform.right

#

again, learn to read

frail hound
slender nymph
#

transform.up is the direction of the objects' Y axis. when the object is not rotated at all then yes it will be 0,1,0

frail hound
slender nymph
#

you get the position from its transform

vernal thorn
#

How can i make a custom SpawnPoint

using UnityEngine;

public class ObstSpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject ObstPrefab;
    public float SpawnSchnelligkeit;  

    private void Start()
    {
        InvokeRepeating("SpawnObst", 0f, SpawnSchnelligkeit);
    }

    private void SpawnObst()
    {
        Instantiate(ObstPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    }
}
#

?

#

like a object where it spawns

#

instead of the object whit the script

slender nymph
#

instead of using transform.position (which is this object's position) as the position to spawn it at, you can create an empty gameobject at the location you want it to spawn and use that object's transform.position. or you can just create a Vector3 variable and use that

vernal thorn

How do you make it so you stay in place and everything else moves?

polar acorn

#

My assumption is that it break because I use time.DeltaTime and because framerate isn't constant, it sometimes leaves small errors like that

#

how could I make it, so it's not frame dependant?

Hey I'm trying to create a unity game but I honestly don't know how to start the game

quick pollen
ivory bobcat
quick pollen
#

first come up with an idea

#

and then try to make it

polar acorn
charred tiger
quick pollen
#

I was thinking perhaps making it depend on distance from a source point?

verbal dome
quick pollen
#

and it's even more appearant when the projectile has a high speed and emission rate

verbal dome
#

Is it using emission over distance?

quick pollen
#

theyre not particles btw

#

theyre gameobjects

verbal dome
#

Ah. Well, you need to show the code that emits them

quick pollen
#

sure

# 
public class SubEmitter : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] GameObject[] projectiles;
    public float atkCoolDownCT;
    [SerializeField] private float fireDelay;
    private int currentProj = 0;
    private float atkCoolDown;
    private float stunTime;
    private void OnEnable()
    {
        atkCoolDown = atkCoolDownCT + fireDelay;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        stunTime = EnemyStagger.StaggerInstance.stunDuration;

        if (stunTime > 0f) atkCoolDown = atkCoolDownCT + fireDelay;

        if (atkCoolDown <= 0f)
        {
            atkCoolDown = atkCoolDownCT;
            FireProjectile(currentProj);
            currentProj++;
        }
        else
            atkCoolDown -= Time.deltaTime;

        if (currentProj > projectiles.Length - 1) currentProj = 0;
    }

    private void FireProjectile(int index)
    {
        GameObject projectile;
        projectile = ProjectilePools.ObjectPoolInstance.GetPooledObject(projectiles[index]);
        ProjectileHandler projHandler = projectile.GetComponent<ProjectileHandler>();
        if (projectile != null)
        {
            projectile.SetActive(true);
            projectile.transform.position = this.transform.position;
            projHandler.SetMoveDelay(GetComponent<ProjectileHandler>().LifeTime);
        }
    }
}```
#

its a pretty basic implementation

verbal dome
quick pollen
#

I also have a list of projectiles instead of one so I can make it so it emits proj1, then proj2, etc

quick pollen
verbal dome
#

Yeah but im suggesting doing the atkCooldown -= deltatime first, them checking if it is <= 0

quick pollen
#

hmm

#

idk what that'd change

#

but I can try

#

oh yeah, I also do atkCoolDown -= Time.deltaTime inside of the else statement

charred tiger
verbal dome
quick pollen
#

@verbal dome tbh for the time being I "fixed" the issue by increasing the projectile size, so its much less appearant if there are small issues

#

but ill try to see if what you said really fixed it

verbal dome
#

Its a guess

quick pollen
#

it didnt fix

#

there are still inconsistencies

#

I think the main issue has to be Time.deltaTime

#

but I'm not sure how to make the emission of the smaller projectiles not framerate based

verbal dome
#

You probably have to do some interpolation math to make them spawn on consistently spaced position instead of the current position

#

Im not great at explaining it

quick pollen
#

because in extreme examples, if there's 1 second between the current frame and the frame before, then it not only moves more because of the movement using deltaTime too, but also the emission

quick pollen
#

it kind of reminds me of the hit detection issue

#

where if a gameobject moves too fast, and the framerate isn't high enough, then it has the chance of completely missing collision with an object that was in it's path, because there wasnt a frame that captured the collision

#

so smth that people did is draw raycasts between where the object is, and where it was

#

and using that to detect collision

tawdry rock
#

Seems like parent constraint component only have position/rotation. i found scale constraint component but if i freeze my scale still gonne scale according to parent.. idk what the deal with them.
i also tried :
GameObject go = Instantiate(...); go.transform.localScale = new Vector3 (1,1,1);

quick pollen
tawdry rock
quick pollen
#

kind of cheaty though

#

i wouldnt be surprised if that caused problems later

tawdry rock
#

so maybe it should be better to resize my model in Blender rather than set its scale in unity... for now i don't see the problem, i only use it for loots to spawn in containers. its a extra line of code and might gets on the performance on a larger scale but thats why loading screens there for 😄

#

Yes. I think that would achieve the same thing. probably a better way to do it. I have a feeling my "else" part is the issue

polar acorn

If your first ray hits something, and that thing has no interactable, you cast a second ray with the same parameters

so I should get a message in my console right? My second one is for triggers. make things happen etc

@polar acorn I changed the position of my collision and it works. it registers me hitting the collision layer.

This is no longer checking for if the first ray hits anything before casting the second

Working on scripting an animation for my weapon in my game, but having issues with the animator rn. I have it setup so it has a basic

  Turn Bool to True and start animation
When animation is done
  Turn off bool and transition back into idle state

kind of script. I had the transitions setup properly and debugged to get the bool when starting the scene. Everything checked out right but the animation wouldn't start. I rewinded a bit and took it step by step and am now just trying to get the animation to play when the scene starts. However, even that isnt working

#

not sure whats wrong and why the animation wont just start playing as soon as the scene starts. I have the animator and animation properly setup on the weapon's object as well and have the firing animation as the default state for debugging.

Hello! Im making a game where the user saves their name and level in an input text field, and their stats are displayed in the text for the user to see. currently when the app closes all of the data goes away. I want there to be multiple saves whenever a user hits the save character button. I made a character class, but unity confuses me. Do i make a prefab named character and put my script on it? Or do i just make an instance of the character object call it profileOne? How should i go about saving the players name and level from the text and then display it in the text when a button is clicked from a specific character game object?

hey friends, i'd like to add a collectable item to my platformer that shrinks the players size. i'm guessing i should just concentrate on shrinking the Y scale of the transform? (as opposed to the Y size of the box collider2D). i've tried it with this but its not working

#

in what way is it not working?

zealous oxide
#

hey boxfriend! its not changing the transform scale

unkempt locust
slender nymph
zealous oxide
unkempt locust
zealous oxide
#

ok that worked, thank you!

#

now i guess i need to work out some logarithmic formula so the transform doesnt go beyond a certain value so the character can never shrink into nothingness

slender nymph
#

why not just clamp the scale? at a certain point it won't really make much sense to actually reduce its size anymore

zealous oxide
rich adder
#

collider issue probably, lets see the player inspector with collider selected in playmode

slender nymph
#

getting caught on the edges of tiles is a known issue with the 2d physics engine that unity uses (box2d). there are a couple of steps you can take to try and solve this:

  1. set the rigidbody's collision detection to continuous
  2. use a round bottom collider for your player instead of one with a flat bottom
  3. use a composite collider for the tilemap
slender nymph
rich adder
#

I bet 3 would also fix it with square collider, maybe with no friction material helps too

slender nymph
#

yeah composite collider is probably the most efficient fix since that would treat the entire tilemap collider as one big collider instead of individual tiles. and it works with flat bottomed colliders (at least in the limited testing i've done, i typically still use capsules or circles for my players)

been a while since i played around with unity so im definitely just being stupid

and just put an Image component across the whole thing

whjy don't you just use OnMouseDown?

#

this is overcomplicated

rancid tinsel
valid finch
#

@meager ermine ^good option. If you are using sprites, you can just go to the inspector of the background and go to the sprite renderer within and change the order in layer

wintry quarry
#

you can still do the timer thing

#

but you don't need the extra bool

rancid tinsel
wintry quarry

#

@wintry quarry @valid finch thanks y'all that helped

valid finch
rancid tinsel
#

and im pretty sure i used it just like the example on the documentation

meager ermine
worn tree
wintry quarry
#

and the if statement

#

put a Debug.Log statement at the beiginning of OnMouseDown

#

before any conditions

#

just start with making sure that works on its own

rancid tinsel

rancid tinsel
wintry quarry
rancid tinsel
#

ahhh

#

okay makes sense

wintry quarry
rancid tinsel
#

i did but i skipped the collider part 😭

wintry quarry
#

like 80% of the sentences on that page mention colliders 🤔

rancid tinsel
#

added a collider and it works like a charm

#

why isnt the bool needed though?

#

the idea is to prevent the player from clicking the button again until the animation plays out

wintry quarry
#

Actually the if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0) is not needed

#

why's that there

#

we're already in OnMouseDown

rancid tinsel
#

yeah that was there before my bad

wintry quarry
#

pressed is just a poorly named variable

#

it's not about whether it's pressed

#

it's about whether the timer is up

rancid tinsel
#

pressed makes sense to me though, since the animation is of the button being pressed

worry about fixing your huge groundcheck for code

something like this

maybe slightly more down but you get the idea now

animation wise you would still need to make the Transition timing smaller so you dont have 2 clips repeating

but it should fix your jumping / animation timing and wont be able to jump midair

you really don't see why?

what have we been doing this whole time..

you're checking for grounded bool to jump , are you with me so far?

the size of that check is as big as that big gray sphere yes?

as long as the gray is touching a collider Grounded in layer

is Grounded

#

and you can jump

thats still too big

you wil be grounded if your sides are touching a platform with Grounded layer

Physics2D.IgnoreCollision or use Layer-Based collision to ignore them

or triggers

Layer based collision being that since object x isn't on the same layer as y it can't interract?

they all interact by default ofc

for 2D this is under Physics2D category

Hello, I have some code setup to tell me the position of an arrow when the player is able to hit it and where the location on the x position it is when the button is pressed. For some reason in the unity editor the position on the arrow looks correct but the Debug.Log statement is kind of off and it triggers the "ok hit" instead of the "perfect hit" code when it's in the perfect zone.
I have no idea why it's doing this.

        {
            if (canBePressed)
            {
                if (Mathf.Abs(transform.position.x) > -1064)
                {
                    Debug.Log("ok hit");
                    Debug.Log("ok " + Mathf.Abs(transform.position.x));
                } 
                else if (Mathf.Abs(transform.position.x) < -1124)
                {
                    Debug.Log("ok hit");
                    Debug.Log("ok " + Mathf.Abs(transform.position.x));
                }
                else
                {
                    Debug.Log("perfect hit");

Probably dumb question, but how do I access the index of a list that is inside a 2 for loop?

        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                Vector3Int position = new Vector3Int(x, y);

                float islandValue = heightMap[x,y] - squareFalloff[x,y];

                if (islandValue < 0.4f)
                {
                    tilemap.SetTile(position, water); 
                    waterTiles.Add(tilemap.GetTile<WaterTile>(position))
                }```
I want to get the tile that I just added into the list. I could use `tilemap.GetTile` again, but I'll have to access the list anyway later on also in a double loop.

i have a 3d top down game that plays kind of like 2d 1942, i have WASD movement set up to move the character around without rotating it at all, i want the rotation to be based on where the mouse cursor is. how can i accomplish that? what ive tried so far looks janky and way off. im only looking to rotate the players Z axis and point where the mouse is

# 
  float camToPlayerDist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Camera.main.transform.position);

  Vector2 mouseWorldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, camToPlayerDist));

  Vector2 direction = mouseWorldPosition - (Vector2)transform.position;

  float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

  transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle-90);

this kinda works but looks a little off

Else if you need the character to immediately turn just assign forward to the direction.

alright thanks, is it defaulted to call on every frame?

I think it's based on fixedupdate? You can also just cast yourself using overlapsphere/overlapcircle and gauge the logic in an update loop

I started using the Inventory system by Devion Games last year.
Took a break from Unity. It used to work but for some reason one button doesn't seem to function within the Unity UI now.

Every time I click it I get this error. Is a package missing that's clashing with the old code?

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object DevionGames.InventorySystem.VisibleItemsEditor.ShowWindow (System.String title, UnityEditor.SerializedProperty elements) (at Assets/Devion Games/Inventory System/Scripts/Editor/VisibleItemsEditor.cs:34) DevionGames.InventorySystem.EquipmentHandlerInspector.OnInspectorGUI () (at Assets/Devion Games/Inventory System/Scripts/Editor/Inspectors/EquipmentHandlerInspector.cs:92) UnityEditor.UIElements.InspectorElement+<>c__DisplayClass59_0.<CreateIMGUIInspectorFromEditor>b__0 () (at <66e151436a4945b595f4b482260aa84d>:0) UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)

Basically the inventory system by Devion games scripts interfaces into Unity for ease of access references things in your database

Maybe mixing local and world coordinates up if you're using mouse coordinates? Little rusty on this stuff so that would be my guess.

Otherwise looks fine to me

The direction would be equal to the point you're wanting to look at minus your current position, normalized.

As Micro Jackson mentioned, place a Debug.Log down. This can help a lot with understanding the actual issue. Place it at the start of LoadScene, and have it print out SceneName. See if this logs, and also logs the right scene.

Hello! I have written this code that detects if the Line of sight of an enemy collides with a player. If it does, I tell the enemy to move towards the position of the collision.

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
    {
        if (collider.tag == "Player") {
            enemyScript.playerFollower(collider.transform);
        }
    }

The problem is it only checks the collision once, and goes to the point of collision, but I want it to repeatedly check if the player is inside the line of sight and move towards it.
This probably means I have to approach it differently, but I can't think of a way to do it.
Any help is appreciated.

slender nymph
#

couple notes:

  1. use the CompareTag method rather than string equality to check tags. it is not only a (very small) performance gain, but will throw relevant errors when a tag doesn't exist instead of just failing silently
  2. use a physics query like a Raycast, OverlapCircle, etc rather than a child collider and relying on physics messages

is the Enemy Rigidbody dynamic or kinematic?

#

k thx

sage tulip
slender nymph
#

their issue with their current setup is that they are using OnTriggerEnter2D instead of OnTriggerStay2D since they confirmed that it checks the collision once then not again

#

but they should still consider using a physics query instead of relying on physics messages

void jacinth
sage tulip
slender nymph
#

MoveTowards isn't even the rigidbody method, it's a Vector3 method. they are probably moving it via the transform if that is what they are using

sage tulip
#

Kinematic rigidbodies aren't affected by physics simulations. All movement has to be coded.

slender nymph
#

MovePosition is the Rigidbody method

sage tulip
#

ah wait

#

I misread

#

ignore my previous replies

#

MoveTowards is a Vector3 method

#

it should work

#

but still, made for Kinematic

void jacinth
#

The movement does work, yes.

#

I just had problems with the trigger only checking once, I know it is normal, but I am just trying to find a way to check repeatedly.

sage tulip
#

It will work, but if you introduce physics forces, there will be jittery movement.
If you aren't relying on realistic physics simulations from forces or collisions, then you can just make it kinematic.

slender nymph
void jacinth
void jacinth
slender nymph
#

yes, but you should still use a physics query instead

sage tulip
#

Yes, though I don't think it triggers on Enter or Exit.
Depending on the game, trigger colliders can be used, but it is more optimal to at least include a Raycast, which will probably be necessary when walls are involved

#

I'd use a Trigger for the Range
and while in range, raycast towards player, to confirm Line of Sight

void jacinth
#

I'll look into that, I have not used that before.

#

Thank you guys for the help!

@void jacinth PS: About the enemy movement
Either rework the code to use AddForce or velocity,
or simply make their Rigidbodies IsKinematic = true

your box is probably too large. it's the same size as your collider

It is the same size as my collider, and the collider collides into things, so the box shouldn't be too big

If i have velocity towards the wall it still returns true in the air. If i make the overlap box smaller in width than this it works, but the setback being that if i am only standing on the corner of a tile i obviously can't jump. Will a raycast solve this issue?

Hello. I need help how can i make a raycast ignore a layer? A quick google search told me i need to put a ~ before the layer name but its not working for me. I made a new layer, put it on the player and refferenced it in the gunshoot script. when i raycast if(Physics.Raycast(gunCamera.transform.position, fwd, out hit, gun_range, ~pLayer)) and debug the collison name it still hits the player... and yes i named my mask pLayer because i found that funny. AYAYA

languid spire
#

and then use ~ to invert it

tawdry rock
#

at the refference i used public LayerMask pLayer; this what you mean?

languid spire
#

depends what you put in there

tawdry rock
#

the layer that i made for the player called "Player"

languid spire
#

so what is the Id number for the Layer 'Player'?

tawdry rock
#

3

languid spire
#

ok, so if you debug.Log the variable player it should contain the value 8

tawdry rock
#

i don't really get it wym. why does ~pLayer simply not work?....

languid spire
#

A Layer Mask is a bitshifted value from a Layer id so...
if you have a Layer Id of 3 the mask is 1 << 3 which results in the binary 1000 which in decimal is 8
