Also It should not be a problem if the function would do what it is supposed to do 😄

I fixed it

If I delay the function that connects the neighbors by one frame via a coroutine it works.

I think the Physics2D might need a frame to catch up with my transformation of the newly created cells.

This makes it work. >.>

IEnumerator DelayOneFrame()
  {
    yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
    ConnectNeighbours();
  }

[wintry quarry]

Absolutely 100% do not use colliders for this.

[wintry quarry]

Physics2D.SyncTransforms() will also work

[sand condor]

But its so convenient 😢

[wintry quarry]

Graph algorithms are even more convenient

As are array or dictionary lookups

Much faster than physics queries too

[sand condor]

Right now I place several rects that are being filled up with cells. Colliders help me prevent overlap with other rects or static cells. You really think I should try to redo this with arrays or dictionaries? :/

[ashen ferry]

with 2d array u can check any combination of tiles a line box sphere custom shape without too much effort does it sound good yet

[sand condor]

Rects in yellow, static cells already there. The rest gets instantiated in first frame.

So redo with array[,] ?

[wintry quarry]

Yes, simple grid lookups would be much better and faster for detecting such overlaps

[wintry quarry]

Or a Dictionary<Vector2Int, Cell>

[sand condor]

I dont want to but I guess its good to learn that anyways. 😄

[final kestrel]

I have a player that moves forward using rigidbody. Is there any way to rotate it say -90 on x in an instant and move towards the new direction without losing speed?

[slender nymph]

when i did the game of life i just used a tilemap and 2 2d arrays (one for current generation and one for relevant changes) and just changed the colors of tiles on the tilemap to apply the changes. it was incredibly easy to set up

[wintry quarry]

Just manually set the new rotation and new velocity

[sand condor]

Can you animate tilemaps 2d so they make a small animation when changing state? (in one cell)

[final kestrel]

I move with AddForce at the start and dont apply any more force. Should I still set the velocity?

[wintry quarry]

If you want to instantly change it, you should set the velocity

[final kestrel]

So I should also remove add force and manually adjust the velocity for moving forward as well?

[wintry quarry]

If you want? It's irrelevant to the question at hand

[final kestrel]

Does directly setting velocity keep the object from interacting with other objects?

I mean can I still see the physics effects?

[wintry quarry]

It doesn't really matter where the initial velocity came from

[wintry quarry]

The only thing AddForce does is change the object's velocity. There's really no difference

[slender nymph]

you can use animated tiles and just swap them out when necessary 🤷‍♂️
or you can use tiles that actually spawn gameobjects. you don't even have to use a tilemap though, that's just how i did it because i didn't do anything fancy with mine, i just did it to show i understood the concept

[final kestrel]

I see okay. Thanks a lot.

[neon ivy]

I'm making a pixel simulation, should I use a class or a struct to store a pixel's data? would be nice to know why as well.

[slender nymph]

It Depends™️
do you need references to the data so that you can just pass the reference around and modify that data without needing to pass it back to the object and reassign? or do you need this for the jobs system where managed data isn't allowed? whether you should use a class or struct depends entirely on your actual needs for the data
also note that the questions at the beginning of the paragraph are simply examples and not in any way exhaustive

[oak hamlet]

hello, does anyone know why my code editor isn't like automatically attached to unity whenever i open it? i use microsoft visual studio code 2022, and im a beginner in unity.. yesterday when i was coding on unity, it was all fine, but now the code editor wont show the assets files that are inside of unity, if yk what i meant, and the attach button should've had "attach to unity" already written on it, but it doesn't, it's just "attach".. and there isnt auto complete why is that?
sorry if you don't understand but i am really really bad at explaining things and problems

[slender nymph]

make sure that it is configured !IDE 👇

[oak hamlet]

ive already done this

wait

[oak hamlet]

yesterday

ill check once again just in case

[slender nymph]

i'm gonna go ahead and guess that the external tools setting in unity got reset

[oak hamlet]

ah yes, that was the problem

thanks lol, is there any way i could prevent it from reseting?

[slender nymph]

restart the editor and make sure the setting stuck

[oak hamlet]

or i have to always do this every time i open up my projecty

alr

[slender nymph]

if it did not then something is preventing unity from writing that setting so you'll need to launch as admin, assign the setting, then launch without admin privs. that has fixed it every time i've seen that issue come up

[oak hamlet]

no need to do that im pretty sure, i restarted the editor and it didn't reset external tools

thanks man, appreciated

oh and also, may i ask if you have any good code editor theme suggestions?

i dont really like the default ones

[slender nymph]

i use darcula 🤷‍♂️

[oak hamlet]

this one right?

[slender nymph]

wait, the one i linked was the vs code one. hold on a sec

[neon ivy]

I'd like to be able to pass the reference around so I use a class right?

[slender nymph]

yep

[spice girder]

I want to spawn Meteors at a random location outside the gamewindow and add some movement to them so they will pass across the gamewindow. Does anyone a good way to implement this?

[slender nymph]

this is the one i was referring to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=FINNSEEFLY.Darcula-Theme-For-Visual-Studio

[oak hamlet]

oh thanks

much better

[slender nymph]

if you google "unity 2d spawn outside camera bounds" you'll find many examples of how you can do that

[spice girder]

Thank you for the tip. Couldn't find the right words to google it (English isn't my primary language).

[pastel vector]

Hi,
What can you do if the editor think that a class/namespace doenst exist even though it does?
I renamed a class and got an error. Deleted the script and created a new with the correct name. Vs Studio doesnt see
any errors but its like the editor doesnt want to recognize that the class now exists again

[slender nymph]

can you explain what you mean when you say "the editor doesnt want to recognize that the class now exists"

[pastel vector]

I get an error CS0246 that says the namespace doesnt exist

[slender nymph]

share the full error

and the relevant code

[covert matrix]

im trying to make all game objects in my overworld canvas fade when i click the esc button to pause, but objects like the tiles and player are not
https://gdl.space/uvasoyefec.cs

[slender nymph]

it seems you are fading a canvas group. your player and tilemap shouldn't be on a canvas so that wouldn't work

[pastel vector]

This is the error
Assets\Scripts\ResourceGenerator.cs(51,46): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'BuildingTypeHolder' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

this is my public class:

public class BuildingTypeHolder : MonoBehaviour
{
    public BuildingTypeSo buildingType;
}

This is the code:

 resourceGeneratorData = GetComponent<BuildingTypeHolder>().buildingType.resourceGeneratorData;

No errors is VS

[covert matrix]

would moving them under a canvas fix that?

[pastel vector]

But Unity is handling it as the BuildingTypeHolder doesnt exist

[slender nymph]

your player and tilemap shouldn't be on a canvas

if you see errors in the unity editor but not visual studio, then your !IDE is likely not configured. but you also aren't showing whether that type you are trying to use is in the same assembly you are trying to use it in or whether it is in a namespace you have imported into the file you are trying to access it in

[sand condor]

One small question regarding the grid lookup: Since the data is of interest for different classes I am considering making it a ScriptableObject to decouple the data to prevent one master class that keeps track of everything. Can you give me a short opinion what you think of this? And what helps you to decide when to put data in a SO and when to keep it in one bigger class?

[pastel vector]

Yeah, how would you configure that? What basicly happened is that I removed a class and then added it again in the editor but it still think its gone. Everything is as it was when it was working, its just the refference that somehow has gone missing

[slender nymph]

instead, i would recommend having a panel or something behind the other canvas elements that is semi transparent that you can fade the alpha on to sort of "fade out" your non-UI objects

[ivory bobcat]

Was the second set of code line 51 of the resource generator script?

[covert matrix]

thank you!

[pastel vector]

Pretty much the same thing

buildingTypeSo = gameObject.GetComponent<BuildingTypeHolder>().buildingType;

[slender nymph]

how would you configure that
see the bot message directly below my previous message.

you're also still not showing enough context for the issue to determine exactly what is causing it

[pastel vector]

Yeah dont really know what else to show. The editor is somehow not aware that the class exists, had similar problems before and reacreating it has worked, dont know why it doesnt now. But thanks for the link, ill try to update the editor

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[ivory bobcat]

Could be anything. I'm guessing the meta file is not updating.

[pastel vector]

Yeah, did a hard rebot and recreated the class exactly the same way and now its working

[long anchor]

GameObject.Find is okay to use a lot as long as its once per frame and rare right?

just checking

[final kestrel]

private void Move()
{
   _rb.velocity = transform.forward * _moveSpeed*Time.deltaTime;
}

Isnt this code moves player to its local forward?

When player's forward changes it still moves it its previous forward

[wintry quarry]

Delta time should NOT be factored into velocity

Also make sure transform and rb are the same object here

[final kestrel]

Yes they are the same object

[wintry quarry]

It's best to avoid entirely but no it won't be an issue if used sparingly in a small scene

[long anchor]

okay thanks!

[final kestrel]

https://hatebin.com/unqiypntnv so okay. If i put the move in either updates the rotation on trigger works just fine but the gravity does not work as intended. Character is floaty when jumping. I'm kind of confused here

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Rotator : MonoBehaviour
{
    Rigidbody _rb;
    Vector3 _leftRotation = new Vector3(0, -90, 0);
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if(other.CompareTag("RotatorLeft"))
        {
            _rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.Euler(_leftRotation));
        }
    }
}

this is how I change its rotation btw if it matters.

[jovial mesa]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MoveRotation.html

MoveRotation is useful to produce a smooth rotation. If you want to "teleport" your object at a new rotation, just set its rotation (Rigidbody.rotation) as someone suggested you

[final kestrel]

All right thanks.

[jovial mesa]

np

[vocal fable]

why is it not working

[final kestrel]

Is it okay to clamp addforce speed so i dont go fast since im using add force in update?

messing with the set velocity did not work all that well for me.

[wintry quarry]

there's like 3 things wrong with this

[vocal fable]

?

[wintry quarry]

1 - you're trying to modify the x component of a quaternion, which you shouldn't ever be touching really. Quaternions are not euler angles
2 - you're trying to modify a field on a copy of the struct returned by a property. This will do nothing, and the compiler is giving you an error to prevent you from accidentally just doing nothing
3 - you're trying to assign a whole quaternion to a single float
@vocal fable

[vocal fable]

what

[wintry quarry]

AddForce should only be used in FixedUpdate unless it's a one-off force and you're using FOrceMode.Impulse or VelocityChange

also clamping velocity with AddForce doesn't work all that well since the change in velocity is delayed until the physics simulation runs (which is later)

[final kestrel]

I put add force in Start since I got no friction. The issue with that is when player enters trigger It rotates but no force is applied to move its new forward.

Do I have to add another impulse on the new forward?

[wintry quarry]

as mentioned before it will be simpler to just modify the velocity directly

AddForce is additive

meaning if you want to cancel out a previous velocity you'd have to add a force cancelling it out and then another force in the nww direction

[final kestrel]

But when I modify the velocity directly my gravity does not work

[wintry quarry]

much simpler to just set the velocity you want directly

[wintry quarry]

Aren't we talking about a thing you do just one time?

It shouldn't affect gravity since the coide is not running constantly

only at this one particular moment

[final kestrel]

Sorry I also have a jump

I forgot to mention that

[wintry quarry]

how does the jump matter

I don't see how these things are connected

[final kestrel]

Setting the velocity prevents me from jumping

[wintry quarry]

only if you're doing it every frame

which again, I didn't think that's what we were doing

[wintry quarry]

We're talking about OnTriggerENnter here. It runs once when you enter the thing

[final kestrel]

Yeah it is just rotating my player in the desired direciton

[wintry quarry]

yeah, don't you want it to also change the velocity?

[final kestrel]

if changing the velocity means that player stops previous forward movement and switches to the new forward movement yes

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

        if(other.CompareTag("RotatorLeft"))
        {
            Quaternion rot = Quaternion.Euler(_leftRotation);
            _rb.MoveRotation(rot);
            _rb.velocity = rb.velocity.magnitude * (rot * Vector3.forward);
        }```

though rather than euler angles I would probably just do this:

        if(other.CompareTag("RotatorLeft"))
        {
            _rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.left));
            _rb.velocity = rb.velocity.magnitude * Vector3.left;
        }```

[final kestrel]

All right. So I also want to set the velocity in start?

[wintry quarry]

again it doesn't matter

AddForce or setting velocity in start, you'll get the same result

[final kestrel]

The rotation is working perfectly now

Can I send a video? A real short one

[wintry quarry]

why not

[final kestrel]

I'll first give the code just so you can see where I put the move.

https://hatebin.com/scscebemmb

[wintry quarry]

your jump and your move code are not really compatible

that's why your jumps are so harsh

[final kestrel]

If i put the move in start it works just fine

[swift crag]

well, you'll have a very hard time changing which way you're moving if you only set your velocity once (:

[wintry quarry]

right - because overwriting the velocity like this every frame is going to smother the normal physics simulation

[final kestrel]

So I should be setting the velocity again everytime entering the trigger?

[wintry quarry]

we don't really know what you're trying to do so it's really hard to make calls about stuff like that

[final kestrel]

I mean it works just fine atm

Let me explain it real short without stealing your time any longer. I am sorry i havent been clear..

[swift crag]

yes

[final kestrel]

As you can see in the video. I have a character which moves without input. There are box colliders checked as triggers on the turning points. What I want is that when I enter the trigger zone. I want my character to turn the way I want, for example left on the first trigger. I also want my character to jump when Space is pressed.

[wintry quarry]

i would just set the horizontal velocioty only in FixedxcUpdate

allow gravity to handle the vertical

[final kestrel]

I want the turning to be instant so I can move to my players new forward direction instantly.

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

void FixedUpdate() {
  Vector3 forward = transform.forward;
  float currentYVel = rb.velocity.y;
  Vector3 newVelocity = transform.forward * moveSpeed;
  newVelocity.y = currentYVel;

  rb.velocity = newVelocity;
}```

[final kestrel]

Okay this works

I will spend some time understanding what you did. Thanks for the help again. Sorry for not being clear enough

[velvet pecan]

Hi all, does anyone know how to fix this things? or at least tell me how this issue is called so i could google it please.

[rare basin]

not code related question

[swift crag]

this should go in #💻┃unity-talk (i can explain it there)

[lunar grove]

Which part should I apply a script when checking for the no. of enemies in a scene then doing something after they all get destroyed?

[rich adder]

put them in a list,when you destroy one remove from list

if list count <= 0 then you killed all enemies

[lunar grove]

Ok but where do i attach that script though?

[rich adder]

any gameObject would do

call it EnemyTracker or something

[lunar grove]

Ah I see i think ill just attach it to the room where they spawn

[rich adder]

yeah any would do, as long as you can reference it to remove elements

[lunar grove]

also is there a way to hide and disable a gameobject and vice versa?

do ij ust use gameobject class?

[rich adder]

yeah is just gameObject.SetActive(false)

[lunar grove]

does that include its visibility or?

[rich adder]

if you set it inactive yeah it becomes not visible

[lunar grove]

then doing it vice versa makes it visible and activates any scripts attached to it?

[rich adder]

yea

Awake/Start wont run tho

if they ran before

[lunar grove]

Ok thank you very much for your replies!

[lunar grove]

Oh okay!

[rich adder]

if you ever want to do anything on disable/activation

You can use OnDisable/OnEnable methods respectively

[final kestrel]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Rotator : MonoBehaviour
{
    Rigidbody _rb;
    Vector3 _leftRotation = new Vector3(0, -90, 0);
    Vector3 _rightRotation = new Vector3(0, 90, 0 );
    private float _moveSpeed;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("RotatorLeft"))
        {
            Quaternion rot = Quaternion.Euler(_leftRotation);
            _rb.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(_leftRotation);
            _rb.velocity = _rb.velocity.magnitude * (rot * transform.forward);
            
        }

        if (other.CompareTag("RotatorRight"))
        {
            Quaternion rot = Quaternion.Euler(_rightRotation);
            _rb.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(_rightRotation);
            _rb.velocity = _rb.velocity.magnitude * (rot * transform.forward);
            
        }
    }
}

Whichever rotation trigger I encounter first does its job. But when I try to trigger the next one, my rotations are messed up and player rotates to somewhere else.

[wintry quarry]

well this is rotating to some absolute direction based on what you hit, rather than relative to your current orientation

[lunar grove]

ohh interesting thanks for the extra tip!

[tawdry rock]

How can i update textmeshpro's text field? (non UI)
I placed a simple TMP above the character that display its HP and it seemslike its not working as the legacy text used to work. (hpNumber.text = enemyHP.ToString();) . im also imported using TMPro;

[rich adder]

should be the same method, which TMP did u reference?

[wintry quarry]

You probably want more like:

        Quaternion diff = Quaternion.identity;
        if (other.CompareTag("RotatorLeft"))
        {
            diff = Quaternion.Euler(0, -90, 0);
        }
        else if (other.CompareTag("RotatorRight"))
        {
            diff = Quaternion.Euler(0, 90, 0);
        }

        _rb.rotation *= diff;
        _rb.velocity = diff * _rb.velocity;```

[tawdry rock]

what do you mean which TMP? the non-gui thingy

[rich adder]

Can i see the script

[tawdry rock]

The middle one

[rich adder]

can I see the script not cropped

it makes no difference if i put it on awake/start/update

[rich adder]

which object has this script (screenshot its inspector)
& any errors in console?

[tawdry rock]

object refference not set at line 28.. but the code should set it for itself..

[wintry quarry]

Sure. If it helps here's my english translation of the code:

Define a rotation we will apply to the object called "diff"
- if we hit a left rotator, that diff will be a 90 degree rotation to the left
- if we hit a right rotator, that diff will be a 90 degree rotation to the right

Rotate the object's orientation by the chosen rotation
Rotate the object's velocity by the chosen rotation```

[rich adder]

you probably dont have this script on the same object that has TextMeshPro

if thats the erro you got

hpNum = GetComponent<TextMeshPro>();
Specifically looks for TextMeshPro on this script/object

[tawdry rock]

you are right, the scripts sits on the Parent and the text mesh is it's child

[rich adder]

if thats the case just remove that line and assign the component in the inspector since its public

[final kestrel]

You're the best. Thanks!

[final kestrel]

Is diff the default naming for desired rotation? or you just decided to use that word?

[wintry quarry]

just a name I chose

[final kestrel]

all right thanks.

[wintry quarry]

This is also not the desired rotation, it's an amount we're going to rotate by

it's relative to the object's current rotation

another good name would have been rotationToApply or rotationToAdd

[final kestrel]

got it.

[tawdry rock]

ohh its working that way.. if there any method if i want it to be private? do i need something getcomponentinchild thingy?

[rich adder]

if its private you use [SerializeField] private MyComponent myComponent;

try to assign inside inspector when possible

avoid GetComponent when possible

[tawdry rock]

Wait. It's working but still gets refference error

[rich adder]

maybe you have a copy somewhere with unassigned field?

[tawdry rock]

probably i have some other AI that use the same script (those might dont have HP textmesh pro on their prefabs) i will try to separete them. one sec

[rich adder]

also you should only update text when hp changes not in Update

also a good lesson to start separarting scripts functionalities 🙂

ie your HP script should not be mixed with your ragdolling stuff & watnot

[tawdry rock]

Yea its all good now.

[tawdry rock]

i know, i just having this 'learning project' and i throw a bunch of code together to test things that came in my mind so my code is anything but not clean on this project. ^^' (...and im very lazy to refactor stuff)

[rich adder]

its all good, its easier that way in the beginning . just something to keep in mind in the future

[tawdry rock]

of course if i going to work on a big project that i want to give to people to play i will rethink everything 100 times and will put away my laziness if i screw something up, but thanks for the heads up! and also the help

Is there a way at runtime to assign the render camera to a canvas using screen space camera mode?

it will only subtract one time unless you have multiple colliders on either object

use Debug.log and see how many times it's running and how much damage it's applying

            int choice = Random.Range(0, enemies.Length);
            GameObject enemy = enemies[choice];
            Instantiate(enemy, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        }

        yield return wait;
    }
}

when the enemies spawn they move towards the castle, how would i flip the sprite to face the castle

[lunar grove]

Apparently for the Gameobject class to instantiate the game object it has to be set to active in the scene, then just deactivate in start method later to make it disappear lol, cant believe i took like 30 mins for that lmao

[wintry quarry]

This doesn't sound correct, I think you're doing something weird.

Also Instantiate is part of the UnityEngine.Object class, not GameObject

[wintry quarry]

you're not doing anything to space out the spawning inside the loop. All the enemies spawned in the loop will spawn instantly at the same position (transform.position)

[placid solstice]

i thought by adding in a spawn rate it would space them out

[lunar grove]

I did I have the box checked for a gameobject

for the script to read it

before i had it unchecked

for whether it was active or not

[rich adder]

Dot product I think, maybe there is an easier way

[lofty sequoia]

Solved the camera issue - it couldn't find it in Awake, but it can in Start()

[rich adder]

oh wait no

transform.position.x > castle.position.x //Look left
else if transform.position.x < castle.position.x // look right

i think

[wintry quarry]

but you're only doing yield return wait; OUTSIDE the loop

if you want to wait inside the loop, you obviously have to wait inside the loop

[lunar grove]

hmm weird

[wintry quarry]

you're being very vague. Sounds like possibly you're using GameObject.Find or something and that's the source of your problem

Instead you should just use a direct reference, and to a prefab not to an object in the scene.

If I understand your issue correctly

[lunar grove]

The code works in the start() method

however trying to change it in the update() method doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

what code

you're still being really vague

[lunar grove]

Enabling and disabling the activity of a gameobject

sorry lol

[wintry quarry]

still vague

if you want help with code, share the code in question

and explain what errors and/or wrong behavior you are encountering.

[lunar grove]

um ok wait how do i share code to look like in code format

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EnemySequence : MonoBehaviour
{
    private GameObject[] normalEnemyLeft;
    private GameObject bossEnemy;
    void Start()
    {
        normalEnemyLeft = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
        bossEnemy = GameObject.Find("BossEnemy");
        bossEnemy.SetActive(false);
    }

        if (normalEnemyLeft.Length < 1)
        {
            bossEnemy.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
}

I'm trying to activate a boss gameobject when 4 enemies have died

[polar acorn]

normalEnemyLeft is never going to change

You're setting it once in Start and then never changing it

[wintry quarry]

Why don't you just directly reference the boss object?

Like I said you're using GameObject.Find and that's your problem

if you did a direct reference you would not have this issue

Change private GameObject bossEnemy; to [SerializeField] private GameObject bossEnemy;
Then just drag and drop the boss into the slot in the inspector this creates. Then delete these lines:

        bossEnemy = GameObject.Find("BossEnemy");
        bossEnemy.SetActive(false);```

and you can leave it as inactive in the editor

also yes Digi is correct about the enemy count tracking.

[placid solstice]

even inside the loop they still overlap

[wintry quarry]

show code

[placid solstice]

private IEnumerator Spawn()
{
    while (roundTimer > 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < enemyCount; i++)
        {
            int choice = Random.Range(0, enemies.Length);
            GameObject enemy = enemies[choice];
            Instantiate(enemy, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(spawnRate);
        }

        roundTimer--;
    }
}

[lunar grove]

Oh yeah i totally missed that lol, sorry am tired af with less than 2 hours of sleep

[lunar grove]

Ah I see thanks, that is easier lmao

[wintry quarry]

1. How many copies of this script exist in the scene?
2. Is transform.position ever changing?
3. are the spawned objects ever moving?

[polar acorn]

Where do you start the coroutine

[placid solstice]

1. 2
2. no
3. yes

[placid solstice]

in the start function

[wintry quarry]

so if two copies of the script exist in the scene, they may be overlapping eeach other

[placid solstice]

2 points

[lunar grove]

Thanks a lot, your method made it a lot easier

[placid solstice]

i found the issue

apparently one of the points had 2 spawner scripts on it

[covert matrix]

having an issue where the canvas appears lower than where it should be when running the game

[queen adder]

How do I give sounds reverb?

[rich adder]

what canvas scaling mode did you select? make sure scale with screen size is selected with proper rez set

[wintry quarry]

you've anchored your ui elemnts incorrectly

[covert matrix]

thank you

[queen adder]

oh I also have this issue haha

things get super small and in the wrong place when i build

which one...

[covert matrix]

"make sure scalre with screen is selected"

[queen adder]

that's all?

[rich adder]

scale with screen size + proper anchoring is all you need

[queen adder]

that worked, ty!

shrimple setting change

oh yeah, one more thing

this prefab is a little bitch and the movement thing isn't centered on it

unlike literally everything else

why is that

[wintry quarry]

press Z

[swift crag]

oh so THAT'S why that toggle was randomly changing

and X toggles local/global

i'm not losing my mind

[buoyant knot]

I think I have a weird case.
I have a trigger with OnTriggerStay and OnTriggerExit. OnTriggerStay calls a function to destroy a gameobject that touches the trigger. The weird thing I think I'm seeing is: OnTriggerExit gets called IMMEDIATELY in that line in OnTriggerStay where the object gets destroyed. Is this supposed to happen?

[queen adder]

Oh Mah Gawd

[regal kayak]

I'm trying to make a prefab stop all movement when it touches my player, I tried coinRB.velocity = Vector2.zero; but it still moves after hitting my player.

[swift crag]

first, check if your code is even running

Debug.Log("Hello"); would be sufficient

second, consider what could move the rigidbody after you've set its velocity

if it's not kinematic, then it's going to get pushed around by physics

[regal kayak]

I know its running because the other part of my code is working

and I dont think anything else is moving it, but if it was, what could I do to stop that?

[swift crag]

well, the player is probably touching it at that point

so there's your source of force

[buoyant knot]

is it a dynamic rigidbody or kinematic?

[regal kayak]

dynamic

[buoyant knot]

ok, so setting velocity = 0 doesn't stop everything that could move the rigidbody

other forces like gravity, friction, etc can still work on it

also, if you have other parts of your code using .AddForce or setting the velocity in some way, then you can also get it moving again

[regal kayak]

is there a way I can stop the object and make it so nothing else can act on it?

[lime leaf]

Hey everyone! I am new to game development and would like to get a career in it. Can anyone recommend any good resources for learning?

[buoyant knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQMytORBmM start here

[lime leaf]

Thank your

[buoyant knot]

under the collider, there are override options for force send and force receive

force send = this object can apply force to anything in those layers (currently set to everything) that it can collide with.

force receive is the same, but to receive forces from other objects

if I have layers 1,2,3. And 1-2 touch each other, 2-3 touch each other, and 1-3 do NOT have collisions. Then I can set an object to Layer 1, and it will automatically only collide with layer 2, and ignore layer 3 objects

If, in my code, I set this layer1 object's collider force receive layers to 0, then this object will no longer take forces to get pushed around by anything.

[regal kayak]

I see, thanks

[late yew]

probs a dumb question, but why isn't this scriptable object creating a drop-down for me to select the typing?

[swift crag]

you've declared a type

but you haven't actually given CritterType any members

all this does is declare CritterType.Typing to be an enum with the values you listed

public Typing myType; would add a field to CritterType

[late yew]

do I need to do ienumerable?

oh, right

[swift crag]

this is almost identical to writing

[late yew]

hmm

[swift crag]

public class CritterType : ScriptableObject { }
public enum Typing { ... }

[late yew]

that's embarassing lol

[swift crag]

Nesting a type has some effects (it can access private members of the enclosing type)

but in this case, it strictly just means the type is named CritterType.Typing instead of Typing in any context outside of CritterType

[late yew]

I'm trying to figure out the best practice of having a reference to typings/elements that other things can reference so I don't need to put enums in all of the scripts and see if they match in functions

so I was thinking having a scriptable object of each 'typing' would work, and then I can just parse the scriptable object reference for my checks

[swift crag]

What would the SO achieve other than holding an enum?

You could make it so that each type is defined by an SO asset

[late yew]

nothing, but I tried to do this whole convaluted system of comparing enums from scriptable objects to strings, or something

[swift crag]

you should not have to compare to strings at any point

[late yew]

right

[swift crag]

if (enemy.mainType == move.type) would compare two enums for equality

now, you could make an SO that defines an entire type

so

public class CritterType : ScriptableObject {
  public string typeName;
  public Color color;
  public List<CritterType> strongAgainst;
  public List<CritterType> weakAgainst;

  public float DamageMultiplierAgainst(CritterType target) {
    if (strongAgainst.Contains(target)) return 2f;
    if (weakAgainst.Contains(target)) return 0.5f;
    return 1f;
  }
}

You would then deal entirely in references to assets

[late yew]

the simplest way to explain what I want to achieve is to create a pokedex - current thought process is to have the Typing SO so I can have an array of the typings assigned to each 'pokemon'

I understand I could also have the enum in the 'pokemon' SO along with all the other info and have two 'typing' fields, but then I don't know what I'd do for the second if it's a 1-element like pikachu

I'm worried that leaving it blank could cause issues later on

[swift crag]

If you used an enum alone, then you would need to have a "No Type" enum value

Alternatively, you could just use a list of enums

so that a monotype creature simply only has one type

[late yew]

I had considered that, but I read online that you shouldn't use enums in a list - they didn't state why

[swift crag]

If you did this, then you'd need to check for null instead of a "none" enum value

[swift crag]

nothing special about using them in a list

but

enums do have one headache: they aren't serialized by name, but rather by value

so, if you rearrange your enum values, all of your data gets screwed up

you have to assign explicit values to them to prevent that

public enum Stuff {
  Foo = 0,
  Bar = 1,
  Baz = 2
}

you could then safely update this

public enum Stuff {
  Baz = 2,
  Foo = 0
}

it's kind of ugly

[late yew]

hmm

[swift crag]

If you used ScriptableObject assets, then you'd just need to make sure you...don't randomly delete the assets

[late yew]

lol

[swift crag]

note that moving assets around and renaming them is fine

unity understands that it's the same asset

[late yew]

I think I'll try the typing enum in the SO and then having like

Typing TypeOne
Typing TypeTwo

and see if i run into issues later

[swift crag]

as in, one SO asset for each creature?

[faint osprey]

hey so i have my player riding a gameobject that moves and changes rotation respective of the mouse movement however when my player gets on the whole thing breaks down and spins all over the place anyone got any ideas

[late yew]

yeah

[late yew]

like this

and then have the same enum setup for the moves SO

[hidden citrus]

What's a good way to "check distance between multiple objects, and get shortest distance to player"?
Essentially iterate through the array/list for distances relative to player, then picking shortest (respawnPoint[i].position, player.position)

[wintry quarry]

If they're not already in some special data structure of some kind, you just have to loop over them and pick the closest

[late yew]

how do you do the coding thing again

i always forget

the little box

[hidden citrus]

like get the classes position from within the class? i.e. the class self-registers its position, then the array checks that data (from self {spawner} to player)?

[swift crag]

There is actually an algorithm that's better than brute-forcing

oh wait, wrong algorithm!

I was thinking of closest pair

[wintry quarry]

but your objects would need to be in an spatial acceleration data structure already

[swift crag]

not just finding the closest point to an arbitrary point

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

float closestDistance = float.PositiveInfinity;
RespawnWaypoint closest = null;
foreach (var obj in objects) {
  float distance = Vector3.Distance(obj.transform.position, player.position);
  if (distance < closestDistance) {
    closestDistance = distance;
    closest = obj;
  }
}```

[hidden citrus]

like <RespawnWaypoint> has a "vector3 position" field, which registers on awake. Then my function calls "look for nearest" and gets the respawnWaypoint[i].position

[swift crag]

closest pair has a funny n-log-n strategy that i still don't fully grok

but this isn't closest pair; it's just closest point

[late yew]

    public void FindNearestWaypoint()
    {
        RespawnWaypoint[] objects = FindObjectsOfType<RespawnWaypoint>();
        float closestDistance;
        Transform closestRespawnWaypoint;

        foreach (RespawnWaypoint obj in objects)
        {
            float distance = Vector3.Distance(player.position, obj.transform.position);
            if (distance < closestDistance)
            {
                closestDistance = distance;
                closestRespawnWaypoint = obj.transform.position;

            }
        }
    }

[hidden citrus]

hmm trying to understand the logic there. closest distance is of the waypoint class or the player holding the respawn manager script?

the respawn manager is the one throwing out the signal to see "what is closest to me"

[hidden citrus]

ah ok, that seems to make some sense, i'll try that

[late yew]

its missing uhm

a transform reference

1 sec

[hidden citrus]

is the transform within the waypoint class as a field? like self registering as i mentioned above?

[late yew]

that should work i think

[hidden citrus]

closest distance looks like its the "variable which gets updated" based on the distance info, but running some kind of comparison

[late yew]

I updated it

[hidden citrus]

ok checking

looks like a vec 3 to transform mismatch

[ashen ferry]

u need to initialize local variable to something

[hidden citrus]

ignore the player position, the closest distance thing is the issue

[ashen ferry]

float closestDistance = float.Infinity or what that is I forgor

[hidden citrus]

ah yep gotta assign a value, float closest distance has 0 info

[late yew]

^ mb

[ashen ferry]

also idk about that FindObjectsOfType I would drag in references if respawn points are already known if not make them register themselves to the respawn manager in awake

[slender nymph]

what type is the closestRespawnWaypoint variable?

[hidden citrus]

yeah self registering is probably best

[late yew]

can you do just .transform

[hidden citrus]

sec lookin over the code

[late yew]

obj.gameObject.transform.position maybe

no? xD

[hidden citrus]

says its a transform defined above, gotta convert it to a field by the looks of it

[slender nymph]

what? no. you just need to give it the transform not the transform's position. unless it's the position that you need in which case your variable is the wrong type

[ashen ferry]

it could stay local if you use it right then and there that wasnt the problem

[late yew]

oh true

[hidden citrus]

that seems like no errors, though i probably need a field array for "objects" right? like a field, not a temp variable

then have it self register (waypoints self add themselves to the array/list on awake)

[slender nymph]

yes, that would be better than using FindObjectsOfType. but you'd want it to be a List not an array since arrays are not resizable

[hidden citrus]

gotcha, yeah ive been using lists as of late, they are very useful

ait giving it a shot now

[slender nymph]

also the name implies it should be returning the nearest waypoint rather than assigning it to a field. so you should return either the transform or the vector3 position

then both closestDistance and closestRespawnWaypoint can go back to being local variables. and closestDistance should be assigned to float.MaxValue not 0

[hidden citrus]

ah i think im following, but the other issue is "assign the list position index as the "spawn anchor" point"

sec, trying to process that

ah, so would i return the waypoint class (so i can get the anchor point WITHIN the class)?

I want to access a field WITHIN the nearest class detected

[slender nymph]

if that it the type you need, then yes

[hidden citrus]

yea rather than the parent object, if i moved it up/etc for visual reasons

public RespawnWayPoint FindNearestWaypoint() correct?

[slender nymph]

if you need to return the RespawnWaypoint object instead of a Transform, then yes

[hidden citrus]

quick edit

looking at your notes above*

[slender nymph]

now make those two other variables local variables again and instead of that long ass line for the return you could just assign obj.respawnAnchor to it in the if statement

[faint osprey]

hey so i have my player riding a gameobject that moves and changes rotation respective of the mouse movement however when my player gets on the whole thing breaks down and spins all over the place anyone got any ideas

[hidden citrus]

hmm geting s tuck on the return part

[wintry quarry]

why do you have two dots

[hidden citrus]

the format specifically, of what specifically im trying to grab the componet off of

mb sorry that was a quick edit

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I have a problem. I am attending now the Junior Programming Pathway and I have 2 scripts first called Unit second ProductivityUnit and I have the second one inherit from the Unit. I have got a method inside my Unit script that is called BuildingInRange and for one reason when I want to override it in order to do some modifications in my method in Unit Script i ve got an error. I have declared 2 variables in ProductivityUnit script first m_CurrentPile and ProductivityMultiplier the first one variable has a class ResourcePile on it, so it says in my method when I want to override it that it does not exist in the current context. I am sending scripts rn

[hidden citrus]

        public Transform FindNearestWaypoint()
        {
            Transform closestRespawnWaypoint = null;
            float closestDistance = 0;
            foreach (RespawnWaypoint obj in objects)
            {
                float distance = Vector3.Distance(PlayerObject.Instance.transform.position, obj.transform.position);
                if (distance < closestDistance)
                {
                    closestDistance = distance;
                    closestRespawnWaypoint = obj.transform;
                }
            }

            return closestRespawnWaypoint.GetComponent<RespawnWaypoint>().respawnAnchor;
        }

[slender nymph]

can you please read all of the info that has been provided to you before making a change and asking for further help

[late yew]

If I have a list of enum in a scriptable object, how can I compare an enum from a different script to see if they match?

[hidden citrus]

Ah thanks for specifying, will do that now (if you are referring to the rules)

[swift crag]

what is the error?

[swift crag]

oh, you have two completely unrelated Typing enums.

[late yew]

yeah

[swift crag]

just declare it once.

use it everywhere

[sage mirage]

I have read it 10 times already bro and haven't found the solution

[late yew]

where would I do that?

[swift crag]

just..anywhere

maybe a separate file

[slender nymph]

i don't know what you think you were supposed to be reading, but my message was not in response to whatever your question was

[wintry quarry]

typically in its own file

[swift crag]

public enum Foo { } does not declare a field. It declares a new type.

[wintry quarry]

Typing.cs

I would probably call it CritterType or something though

Typing is a confusing name

[sage mirage]

Wait the response wasn't for me really?? XD

[slender nymph]

no, it was clearly in response to the person whose message came after yours (and directly preceded my message) whom i was already in a conversation with

[wintry quarry]

Share your scripts. Most likely you are just using the incorrect access modifier for your method or something

[late yew]

is there any benefit to making it a scriptable object like i had planned in the past? my thought process is I can assign them sprites for the logos and hex codes to colour sprites they're meant to affect

[sage mirage]

That's what I am thinking too

Minute

[wintry quarry]

yes that could be useful

You probably still want the CritterType enum though

[sage mirage]

Here is the method in Unit.cs

 {
     if (m_CurrentPile == null)
     {
         ResourcePile pile = m_Target as ResourcePile;

         if (pile != null)
         {
             m_CurrentPile = pile;
             m_CurrentPile.ProductionSpeed *= productivityMultiplier;
         }
     }
 }```

Here is what I have in ProductivityUnit.cs

{
    protected ResourcePile m_CurrentPile;
    protected float productivityMultiplier = 2f;
}```

[late yew]

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "New Critter", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/Critter Typing")]
public class CritterTyping : MonoBehaviour
{
    public enum Typing { Beast, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Nature, Thunder, Spirit, Elemental, Aura, Martial, Toxic }
    public Typing type;
    public Sprite typeIcon;
    public string hexCode;
}

[sage mirage]

So, what happened is the m_current var and productivity multiplier are underlined with red

[wintry quarry]

this seems backwards

[late yew]

something simple like that maybe

[wintry quarry]

The child can access things from the parent, not vice versa

All ProductivityUnits are Units
Not all Units are ProductivityUnits

So Unit cannot do things with fields from ProductivityUnit

it doesn't make sense

[wintry quarry]

this looks like code that should live in the ProductivityUnit class, not in Unit

[wintry quarry]

it should be a ScriptableObject

not MonoBehaviour

[late yew]

yeah i forgot to change that

[wintry quarry]

and I still recommend declaring "Typing" in its own file

[late yew]

this is its own file

[slender nymph]

no, that's your scriptable object's file (or will be once you swap to SO from MB)

you've nested the enum inside your CritterTyping class. move it out of that

[swift crag]

see why Typing is a really bad name?

you're having trouble keeping it straight from CritterTyping

just call it CritterType. Its values are valid types for a critter.

[late yew]

right, i need it in it's own file for move references

[swift crag]

no, this is not about files

[short hazel]

Enums are types, like classes and structs. They can be put alone in their own file, and you should do that if the type is used in 2 or more places

[swift crag]

this is strictly about names.

[sage mirage]

Wait! I think I found the solution myself I had to declare that method in the other script and did a mistake and declare it in Unit script. Let me check a little bit and if that was not the solution coming back and telling you btw thanks 🙂

[proven charm]

in the engine is sais i aint using isGRounded(its a bool)

[wintry quarry]

See these squigglies

you should read what they're telling you

Let me ask you this - if you have:

bool x;

And you want to assign the value 5 to it on the next line of code, what would you write?

x = true;```
or
```cs
bool x = true;```

[proven charm]

isGrounded is a bool

[wintry quarry]

doesn't matter what type it is

bools are not a special type that work differently from everything else.

there I changed the example

[proven charm]

ik

the second one

[wintry quarry]

you sure?

you rewrite the type of the variable every time you want to assign it?

Your way:
https://dotnetfiddle.net/p7PCCO
The correct way:
https://dotnetfiddle.net/Br8xJz

[summer stump]

The compiler knows it is a bool from the point you declare it. You never need to tell it twice

If you do, it thinks it's a new thing

[proven charm]

i realised

its bc

i put bool before isgrounded in on collosion stay and exit

[wintry quarry]

yes

when you do that you are actually creating a brand new variable (a local variable inside the function)

and the original variable is unaffected

[proven charm]

ye

[summer stump]

And you do not want that

[eternal needle]

You should really do some basic c# lessons before unity

[faint osprey]

how do i make a game object rotate on the spot with moving my mouse as to how much it rotates

[slender nymph]

can you rephrase that in a way that makes sense?

[buoyant knot]

have you tried holding alt while in panning mode?

[faint osprey]

so im in 3d third person view and i want a cylinder to spin on the spot by how much i look around with my cameras

[buoyant knot]

alt + drag with click

[faint osprey]

no not in scene view

[modest dust]

Basically rotate the cylinder whenever you move your mouse in-game, right?

[buoyant knot]

you'd need to tie the rotation of the cylinder to the mouse via code

[modest dust]

^

[buoyant knot]

you basically need to code: everytime I move the mouse, I'm going to interpret it as a command to rotate by X. Then I'm going to rotate the cylinder by x

either by its transform, or applying torque to a dynamic rigidbody

[uneven swan]

guys I just realised I was dying trying to get an IEnumerator to count down while the time scale is set to 0 are there any work arounds to count down ?

[slender nymph]

show the code so the issue can be pointed out

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WaitForSecondsRealtime.html

[uneven swan]

thanks mate forgot that the count realtime seconds existed I don't think I ever had to use it

[midnight echo]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/jizutuqaqi.java Hi I wanted to ask. I currently have this code from a tutorial, and I tried to apply it to a 3D model's torso and I was wondering how I would change this such that the torso properly follows the mouse?

[bold portal]

Anybody know why StartNetwork as Host keeps crashing the Unity editor? I have literally never had this issue until yesterday when I started up my game for another edit session.

[slender nymph]

define "craching the unity editor"

[bold portal]

There is a video for help 🙂

It's not really a normal crash.

[slender nymph]

most likely you have an infinite loop

[bold portal]

For Start Network as Host?

[slender nymph]

no, in your own code when you start the network

[wintry quarry]

The audio still playing is another hint that the main thread is blocked actually. Audio runs on a separate thread.

so the runtime is not crashing

but the main thread is blocked

[bold portal]

Odd. The thing was working before, and when I started it up again this happened. I didn't change anything after the last time it worked

[wintry quarry]

you didn't change anything that you remember or that you think mattered

[bold portal]

Like, I saved and quit, and then got on and this happened

[eternal needle]

thats always the classic, "i didnt change anything". you should use version control if you arent, which would prove if you have changed something

[wintry quarry]

The surefire way to see what's going on is attach a debugger to unity, and when it's frozen you can pause the debugger and see what the main thread is doing currently

[bold portal]

I'm not going to ignore this advice though. I shall go check out the code and look for infinite if or while loops

[bold portal]

I would require further assistance for that

So I am going to start with finding loops

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

also https://unity.huh.how/functionality/freezing

[bold portal]

Oh hey I already have that attached 👍

[sick matrix]

can anybody help me? My question isn't about programming, but I don't know which channel to send this specifically

I'm making a procedural system for my game, how can I create a separate tile?

[bold portal]

So I guess I just need to look at it

[short hazel]

The nice thing about having the debugger attached, is when you hit the infinite loop somewhere, you can pause the execution by hitting the "stop all" button and see where the execution is at that point

[bold portal]

It's gonna be just my luck that I did in fact change something. Time to go see 🤦‍♂️

MY GOSH WHERE DID THAT WHILE LOOP COME FROM?!

[short hazel]

git blame
You, 3 days ago - commit 8bfe346

[bold portal]

🤣

[polar acorn]

Programming is like being the detective in a police procedural where you are also the murderer

[bold portal]

Thanks. I shall pin this legendary quote to my wall above my PC. I am just relieved that my game isn't corrupted where I have to revert to an old version. I was about to backup this copy when this happened. 🤣

[slender nymph]

time to learn how to use version control like git

Guys, I have a problem, I went to import Starter Assets first person from Unity, and so far everything was fine, but after I imported a PREFAB, unity crashed, then when I logged back in, the whole map was purple, Then I saw on YT what I should have done, to import the first person, I should have configured Render Piperline first, now the first person is working, but the map is all purple, can you help me?

[short hazel]

Not a code question => ask in #💻┃unity-talk

[unkempt locust]

ok

[unkempt locust]

please help me in #💻┃unity-talk

[short hazel]

I do not know how to solve your issue

I'm a developer

[queen adder]

hey, two questions

1. how can i add reverb to sound effects?

2. how i can prevent sound effects from cutting each other off?

[unkempt locust]

ok thank you

[queen adder]

oh and where do i store them haha

having each sound be its own gameobject seems... suboptimal

[short hazel]

You'd play them via code, with the PlayOneShot() method, that one allows overlapping of sounds

[queen adder]

yep that's how i'm doing it, except need to apply reverb to it

[short hazel]

Reverb zone components can do that for you without any code

[queen adder]

works perfectly, exactly what i need

[summer stump]

You can have them as fields on a single gameobject. Or an array of them. I do that to randomly select from similar sounds to give variety

[queen adder]

fields?

[summer stump]

Variables

[queen adder]

yeah that's what i did

i just needed individual gameobjects to organize them

[summer stump]

Oh ok cool.
I was looking at this
#💻┃code-beginner message

[short hazel]

Well it's still referencing the objects here

[summer stump]

Hmm, what do you mean?

[queen adder]

but if i have a bunch of sounds this is gonna be a pain

[summer stump]

Why not have variables of the CLIPS not the object?

That's what I meant

[short hazel]

Usually you'd have one field of type AudioSource and a few fields of type AudioClip yes

[queen adder]

Idk what a clip is Lol

[summer stump]

The sound file

[short hazel]

You can separate the fields in the editor with [Space] or [Header("Name")] if it gets too messy

[queen adder]

ok,

[summer stump]

public AudioClip footstepSound;

[queen adder]

oh that's not allowed

1984

anyway let me be clear

if every single sound effect in the game requires its own gameobject, that is really gonna suck

i'd like to not do that

but it's the only way i can figure out

[summer stump]

Why would it need that? We are saying not to do that

Single object, multiple AudioClip variables

[queen adder]

.

you have now told me an alternative option

i dont see

[summer stump]

Not a component

[short hazel]

In your code!

Then you drag drop the sound file from your assets

[summer stump]

I told you that option BEFORE you said that, that's why I was confused

[queen adder]

Oh I Have Small Brain I Didn't Realize That it Wasn't A Component

[queen adder]

yeah this is what i was looking for ty

[crisp pollen]

How an i make Object snap to grid when in the 2D mode

[wintry quarry]

Should work the same way as in 3d

2d mode just enforces a camera angle for scene view

[crisp pollen]

okay ty

[queen adder]

...why the hell does adding an AudioSource to my charactercontroller cause my fps to halve

That's it

Changing nothing else

If I remove it the performance is normal

[slender nymph]

are you certain it is just the audiosource causing the issue and not perhaps some code you're running?

[queen adder]

no code references it

if i create any audiosource anywhere fps tanks

[wintry quarry]

is the audio source itself

or the inspector for the audio source

[queen adder]

do you have multiple audio listeners?

[wintry quarry]

Rigidbody has a famously slow inspector

[slender nymph]

yeah you should use the profiler to determine the actual source of the issue

[queen adder]

if I also press any input keys fps tanks

wtf

but only if I have audiosources

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idk what any of this means

[ashen ferry]

Noone does

Look at hierarchy not timeline

On the left in the middle there should be button

[queen adder]

There you go

[slender nymph]

yep, looks like it's the editor, not the actual audio source

[queen adder]

how do i fix this?

it was not a problem until now

[ashen ferry]

U can change to editor mode to profile editor

[queen adder]

?

[ashen ferry]

Play mode button there

[green copper]

So, my physics material looks like this and is attached to my character controller like so, it moves as expected.

When a moving sphere, with the same physics material, hits the bumper, it loses all velocity towards the bumper and starts drifting to one side or the other depending on the angle of impact.

Expected behavior is that velocity is preserved and it bounces, behavior can be observed when ball hits the walls of the arena.

the "Bouncy" material is on the ball, the bumper, and the wall, but ball-bumper collisions exhibit this problem

[solid timber]

Hey, I have an object (A) that I want to be IsTrigger so that I can check when it is colliding/touching another object (B) without physically interacting.

But I need the object (A) **not **to be "IsTrigger" with other objects (C which is ground) so it can stand on something.

Is this possible?

[late burrow]

whats the easiest way of refiling holes in mesh after removing bunch of polygons from it

[slender nymph]

use two colliders where one is on a child object on a separate layer that only collides with either the objects you want to detect with the trigger or the ground for the non-trigger

[polar acorn]

Do whatever you did to remove polygons from it but in reverse

[late burrow]

no i want the holes

[celest spindle]

Does anyone know how to separate these? Like the dark green thing en the light green squares. These r the codes

[summer stump]

This is not a unity question

[slender nymph]

this is a unity server. not a general coding/web dev server

[polar acorn]

Here's what you need to do:

[celest spindle]

Ohhhh

Oopthy

Sorry

😭

[queen adder]

LMFAO

[celest spindle]

Bye🫡

[late burrow]

but the holes with texture in newly made hole not the missing faces

i thought about moving polygons instead of deleting them but would be hard to figure out where to move it to be inside mesh still

[solid timber]

Okay I created a child empty object of original object A. I made it isTrgger. I made a new layer for it, and in the Physics settings, I said it can collide with everything.

But the script is still in the parent, will the OnCollisionEnter detect any child object collision as well?

[slender nymph]

does the parent object have a rigidbody? if so, then yes. all children colliders will become part of the rigidbody's compound collider and will have physics messages like OnCollisionEnter sent to the rigidbody

[unique violet]

what code would I do to make this red UI's y position 0? I've tried this but it doesnt go anywhere close:

remove.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = new Vector3(1311.7f, 0, 0);

[solid timber]

Yes the Parent has a Rigidbody, and the parent has a Box Collider that is not isTrigger.

The parent carries the script with the OnCollisionEnter().

The Child has a Box Collider that is isTrigger only. And is on a separate layer.

Inside the Parent script I am just running this;
`
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)

{
    Debug.Log(rb.name + "colliding with " + collision.collider.name);`

But it doesn't detect collision with other object it seems 🤔

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[late burrow]

so how can i make hole in mesh that will not be missing faces in hole i made

[frosty hound]

At runtime? Complicated procedural mesh.

[junior mango]

can someone explain why the materials dont load when i import a package and how do i fix it

[karmic badger]

Is there any Error messages when you imported? Have you restated?

ReStarted

[frosty hound]

The package is using shaders not compatible with your render pipeline.

[late burrow]

i did wanted do that because thats how im editing out vertices to make hole in first place

[late burrow]

but im not sure how to auto fill the missing faces

[polar acorn]

Looks like they're using a different render pipeline than you are

[junior mango]

where do i see this

[karmic badger]

URP package?

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.2/Documentation/Manual/srp-setting-render-pipeline-asset.html

[karmic badger]

Try installing universal rp

From package manager

[junior mango]

im currently using urp

[karmic badger]

🤔

🤷🏻‍♂️

[junior mango]

making sure this is urp right

[summer stump]

This is not a urp shader afaik

[junior mango]

ok makes sense

i took off urp and all the things loaded 👍

ty

[solid timber]

Thanks for the help, it seems like even with Physics messaging and a breakpoint I am not getting a response.

But I will investigate cause I really like the concept of having a child collider that acts as just a trigger, it would be amazing if I could get it working.

[slender nymph]

did you go through the rest of the steps to make sure you have your rigidbody and everything set up correctly?

[wary sable]

hello,
I'm making a simple segment of my inventory system where the player can hold down left click to rotate a model of their player in the inventory screen. I want to make it so that the rotation has a bit of energy (that is to say that spinning the camera will increase its velocity so when the player lets go the model spins just a bit) how would I go about doing this? Here is the script I have so far https://hatebin.com/gnisfntzss

I should note that this system uses a second camera in the scene that is tied to a pivot which is tied to a G.O tied to the player. The pivot is what rotates around the player giving the illusion that the character "model" is the real thing

EDIT:
Figured it out, just add a rigidbody to the game object, and then use .AddTorque. It works in a very similar way to updating a quaternion without multiplying.

[solid timber]

Here is my Gameobject hierarchy.

Green contains Script + Box Collider without isTrigger + Rigidbody.

Cube contains just the mesh, a cube.

InvisCollider contains the second Box Collider with isTrigger.

[slender nymph]

show the inspector for the collider and also the rigidbody

[slender nymph]

okay now show the layer matrix in the Physics settings

[solid timber]

Here is the Box Collider inspector for the "InvisCollider" child by the way.

[slender nymph]

okay and now show the object that it should be colliding with

[solid timber]

Well maybe that is the issue 🤔

This is a Prefab, all of this. ("Green")

It is instantiated multiple times. So it collides with other instances of itself.

[slender nymph]

well the Cards layer can collide with the Cards layer so that is fine. do you see it actually reacting to collisions in the game? like the objects are physically colliding?

[solid timber]

Yes but only with the Box Collider in the parent. Because it is not isTrigger.

And the breakpoint works for that, when they collide.

But I made the Box Collider (with isTrigger) in the Child much bigger, but still no Collision detected.

[slender nymph]

okay so this whole time the issue has been the triggers?

are you sure you read the site i linked? because trigger colliders do not send an OnCollisionEnter message because they are not entering a collision

you should be using OnTriggerEnter for trigger colliders

[unique violet]

How can I completely stop my game? basically making it so nothing happens and I can't do anything until I reset the app

[polar acorn]

while (true) { }

[unique violet]

well I don't wan to crash it I just want to stop it

[solid timber]

Wow 🤦 I have been calling it from OnCollisionEnter.

Changed to OnTriggerEnter, now it is working 😂

Feels good. Thanks a lot @slender nymph , really appreciate it! 🙏

[slender nymph]

OnCollisionEnter is for entering collisions like when two non-trigger colliders begin colliding. OnTriggerEnter is for when any collider enters a trigger collider

[solid timber]

Makes sense, thanks for taking the time to help and explain ⭐

[eternal needle]

what they suggested isnt a crash (and technically fits your description), what are you trying to actually do though

[hollow zenith]

How would I go about creating a sliding 2D platformer character with various shapes?
Something like this:
https://springboard-cdn.appadvice.com/generated-app-plays/443637419/148302848-quarter-apng/med.png
Can it be done with built in physics system using gravity to speed up the player and slopes being 99% or 100% slippery(so you can go up the slope)
Basically you need to gain speed faster when you go down than you lose it when you go up if that makes sense.
I am open for ideas tho as I am not sure what are my options.

The link has an animation if you want to see it play out.

Perhaps I need a script that gives player speed when you slide downwards + forward

[timber tide]

Should be fine with rigidbodies and unity's physics

[wintry quarry]

I would probably not use the physics engine for this. I'd use the Splines package and just have the thing slide along the spline when it's on the ground and otherwise just do a rudimentary gravity simulation

the spline can also be used for the grounded-ness check. e.g. the position of the spline at that point is the lowest allowable y position for the penguin

[timber tide]

I was thinking maybe some techniques to make the level in a paint program then rasterize it all in unity

[wintry quarry]

SpriteShape also has a built in spline framework too

and can be used for worldbuilding here as well as the physics sim

[covert matrix]

hi im trying to fix an issue where my character is stuck in a walking down animation after going down a certain point

[rich adder]

make video mp4 so we can view it on discord

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to share your code

[covert matrix]

https://gdl.space/kopuliwobu.cs

[wintry quarry]

which animator parameter controls the walking animation

[wintry quarry]

so you're only setting that when input != Vector2.zero

meaning when you actuall release the input, it won't run at all

so it will never stop

shouldn't you move that outside of that if?

[covert matrix]

oh but if i stop before reaching that point thats low enough, i can still move again

[wintry quarry]

Then your other problem might be while ((targetPos - transform.position).sqrMagnitude > Mathf.Epsilon)

you should add Debug.log inside the Move coroutine and make sure it's actually finishing

you might be stuck in the loop permanently

[covert matrix]

like this ?

    {
        isMoving = true;

        while ((targetPos - transform.position).sqrMagnitude > Mathf.Epsilon)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPos, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
            yield return null;
        }
        transform.position = targetPos;

        isMoving = false;

        Debug.Log("Movement finished");

    }```

[wintry quarry]

sure - but you probably would want to put a "movement started" one too

[covert matrix]

i see neither of the messages appear on the console

oh nvm, im not sure how but it fixed itself?

thanks for the help!

[gusty void]

Hi I keep getting a CS0103 saying the name of bulletpoolInsstanse does not exist in the current context
In my Fire bullets script, and I just cannot figure out why this is happening does anybody have an answer or way to fix this

[north kiln]

bulletpoolInstanse is a static variable on the bullet pool class. It does not exist outside of that class, you have to access it via the class name. bulletpool.bulletpoolInstanse

[gusty void]

Okay thank you, I put bullet pool with bulletpoolinstanse is that what I’m supposed to do?

[teal viper]

You should use proper naming conventions to distinguish between variables and types/classes.

[rich adder]

did you change bulletpool from GameObject to bulletpool

[gusty void]

I would love to do that, but I have no idea what that means😭

[rich adder]

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/8a67c0/C-Sharp-coding-standards-and-naming-conventions/

[gusty void]

Thank you!!

[teal viper]

public class BulletPool: MonoBehaviour
{
    public static BulletPool bulletPool;
}

[gusty void]

Okay I did this!! This helped but mows it’s saying CS1061 for BulletPoolInstanse

[rich adder]

errorcode# isn't as helpful, look at the specific error message it says

I bet its "GameObject does not contain definition for bulletpoolinstance and no accessible method blabla"

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs1061 yeh, likely in this case the type is never declared at all, and it's not namespaces

[gusty void]

Yeah, it’s that one

[rich adder]

you never changed this
#💻┃code-beginner message

BulletPool instead of GameObject

[summer stump]

GameObject types only know GameObject things 😄

[gusty void]

Okay thank you!

[rich adder]

wait actually they just need to to use the class directly , the reference isnt needed since its static

BulletPool.bulletPoolInstance.GetBullet()

[gusty void]

So don’t delete game object

[rich adder]

you don't need the whole line

private GameObject bullepPool

[summer stump]

Oh I missed the static part.

Yeah, static means it belongs to the class itself not an instance (simplifying things). There can only be one, so the compiler will always know which one basically

So yeah, you don't need the variable at all

[gusty void]

OK now it’s saying bullet pool does not exist in the current context

OK actually it it works. Thank you so much!!

Thank you guys so much it really means a lot. You guys have just saved my freaking project. Thank you.

[hollow zenith]

Is there something that might be easier to do as I never did splines? This is a prototype only so I don't care about optimization, but I need a way to control the speed based on penguin rotation + collision/drag perhaps.

[fervent siren]

hey fellas... would you mind helping me out

so basically I have a gameobject that when the player collides with it it loads a scene

i have a string set as the exact scene name and the code for collision works because when i put destroy game object it destroyed itself

[teal viper]

Do you ever assign anything to that field?

[fervent siren]

oh well now that you mention yes its with a bunch of other string/floats

should I just state that string outside?

[teal viper]

This is just a variable. Unless you assign a value to it, it's gonna be an empty string or null.

[rich adder]

in the inspector

[fervent siren]

its under a header

[north kiln]

and what's it set to in the Inspector

[fervent siren]

ahhh

[fervent siren]

can you elaborate

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UsingTheInspector.html

[fervent siren]

i see

[teal viper]

I feel like there's a total lack of basic understanding of working with unity...😅

Or code.

[rich adder]

learning both at the same time is difficult in the beginning

[fervent siren]

yerp

im basically mimicking my code that i used for a button to load a scene

execpt when colliding with a game object

the game object being a white cube with rigid body

although i don't think that matters

its just the code thats the issue

[summer stump]

To be clear, this is meaningless:
#💻┃code-beginner message

It has no value there

They want to know the value of the string

[fervent siren]

Right

[summer stump]

Show the inspector in unity with the object that has that script selected

[fervent siren]

This is my player movement script

[teal viper]

The issue is that they don't seem to understand what an inspector is...

[summer stump]

We don't want to see code

[fervent siren]

unless I should make a seperate script for when the block touches the player instead

[polar acorn]

Congratulations. Now show the inspector for it

[summer stump]

Show it with the MainMenu script on an object

That is the one with the string we want to see

Right?

[fervent siren]

this is what you are supposed to touch

[fervent siren]

its only for 1 button

[summer stump]

You have 3 errors

[fervent siren]

ill pull it up

[north kiln]

Yes but what about the title string that we care about

[fervent siren]

yeah because of the empty script

[fervent siren]

im sure i stated it though

[summer stump]

We just want to see it

[polar acorn]

Wheres the rest of it

[fervent siren]

yeah ill pull it up

[fervent siren]

mb

[fervent siren]

this is the error in question

this is my WHOLE player scripy

[summer stump]

Ok, so as they thought, the string is empty

[fervent siren]

oh my god

i get it

[fervent siren]

I GET IT

YESSS

THANKS

it was EMPTY IN THE INSPECTOR

OHHHH

thanks guys

[polar acorn]

Okay, so do you have a scene named

[fervent siren]

no

i have a scene named title

and gameScene

[polar acorn]

So that'd be your issue

You're looking for a scene named

[fervent siren]

\

works as intended now

[fervent siren]

yeah i put "title" in it

the empty string

mb for not getting the inspector out sooner

whenever I clicked on the error as I would it would bring up visual studio

so I figured it couldve been an issue with the code

[swift crag]

yes, because the error happened in your code

you tried to load a scene that didn't exist

that was the error

[fervent siren]

yeah

[swift crag]

did you happen to have this in your code

public string title = "mySceneName";

[fervent siren]

no but I stated it through the inspector instead

but I would totally do that next time

[rich adder]

assigning value and stating /declaring variable are different

[fervent siren]

just state it right in the code

[fervent siren]

right

[swift crag]

well, that's the thing

This says that the default value for title should be "mySceneName"

but Unity is going to save whatever value you entered in the inspector

[fervent siren]

I getcha

[swift crag]

A common mistake goes like this:

• Create a new field
• Attach the component
• Give the field a default value

The instance of the component already has an empty string saved for that variable

adding a default doesn't change that

unity will load the saved values for the component and overwrite whatever the defaults are

[gusty void]

Hi I’ve got some more work done on it and now it’s saying this and I researched a bit on it but the ways I’ve tried or not working

[teal viper]

Do you understand the error?

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[rich adder]

https://screenshot.help/

[gusty void]

LISTENN i’m tired y’all I’m I’m using a school computer that doesn’t let me screenshot, so I’m sorry that it looks like dookie but i’m on my last strand i’m losing my mental

[spare mountain]

it's windows
press win + shift + s

or open snipping tool

[teal viper]

They probably mean by that they don't have discord installed on that PC.

[summer stump]

"Just take the screenshot, email it to yourself, and put it on discord from your phone" 😂

[teal viper]

Sounds like a plan

[summer stump]

Is this the same line as before?

[teal viper]

It kinda looks like you've barely started anything. Isn't it too early to "lose your mental"?😅

[gusty void]

I’m not gonna get into it, but my computer broke early in the week with an actual complete game on it and my two of the games that were saved on another school computer are gone so it’s just kind of been a frustrating week😭

[rich adder]

if only there was a browser version of discord 😢

[gusty void]

You guys are giving very good advice. I’m just I think I’m just tired

[teal viper]

Can't imagine how you were able to complete a game with the current understanding of C#.🤔

[gusty void]

Listen, it was simple really simple. I’m in the class, so it was really simple and I had my teacher help me.

[teal viper]

Okay. But I still suggest learning the C# basics, so that you can make the game without your teacher's assistance.

[spare mountain]

Discord people be like "guys why doesn't this code work"

[gusty void]

BRUHHHH YALLLl

[summer stump]

I mean, at this point we can't really help. You showed an error code and that's it

[teal viper]

It's too blurry for the compiler to understand it.😬

[summer stump]

Is it the same line as before?

Show your code

[spare mountain]

error on line... well... every line

[teal viper]

compiler error: could not read the file(it's too blurry)

[rich adder]

new captcha , deblur this image

Fix all the compile errors in the next code.

How can I create a car with an npc inside so that they can get out of the car and get into it?

[rich adder]

simple triggers

[timber tide]

some code

[teal viper]

It's not something that can be explained in a few sentences in discord. Unless you're asking about a certain specific part of it.

[spare mountain]

step 1: make car
step 2: make NPC
step 3: ???
step 4: profit

[rich adder]

where is the "make npc" button

[teal viper]

Near the "make a world of warcraft killer mmo" button.

[supple wasp]

xd

[spare mountain]

should be right under the "finally finish a game" button

[rich adder]

Item not found

[spare mountain]

object reference not set to an instance of an object

least confusing error for newcomers ^

[timber tide]

you'd think so

probably the most common question I've seen

[fickle lodge]

no it's below the "make game multiplayer with 100,000,000 player capacity" button. right?

[candid steppe]

Ay

did anyone here send me a message request lmao

I accidentally declined it and I don’t know who sent it and what server they were from 😭😂

it was like 5 minutes ago so if it was from this discord I’m hoping the user is still online

eh I’ll figure it out

[light moss]

I have two layers for an enemy. One layer is if I get into contact to that enemy I die. However the second layer is on the top of the enemy head. How can the player jump on the enemy head and kill it.

[fickle lodge]

make sure the box collider that makes the player kill the enemy is slightly more scaled to the center than the sides. this will prevent the player from walking into the enemy to kill it. <3

[rich adder]

those are colliders.
use one of these methods to detect enemy
if head is trigger use
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter2D.html
if its not
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

[cosmic dagger]

also, the other collider should be on a separate (child) GameObject . . .

[light moss]

How can I prevent it from going back to Idle when I jump?

So if I change the Jump Force to 14 it doesn't do this. But if I change it to 10 is does do this.

[timber tide]

Why dont you just check if you're not grounded

[solar tide]

Is it okay to just have a bunch of classes in one C# script?

[cosmic dagger]

typically, you have one class per script, but sub-classes are fine (as long as they don't derive from MonoBehaviour) . . .

you can only have one class derive from MonoBehaviour in a script . . .

[summer stump]

Except in 2022+ ?
I know at least the name doesn't have to match the file name, but I thought you could have multiple classes too?

I can't conceive of a reason you would ever want to though

[cosmic dagger]

why would they do that? yeah, let's make this more confusing . . . 🤦‍♀️
