dont add it to the inventory again
#💻┃code-beginner
wide silo
Yea he is using visual studio code so that makes me think maybe he didn't download the cs language
tender stag
so here i need to somehow check if there is going to be remaining amount after you would add to the inventory, and if so you just subctact the amount and refresh the cell
and is its more then you Remove()
i think
timber tide
The red circle, you're removing and readding is what I'm not understanding. You should be changing the value on the item in the slot as to where it's at and only removing if the value remaining is 0.
tender stag
The red circle, you're removing and readding is what I'm not understanding. You ...
yeah im removing from the slot you clicked on and then adding to the opposite cells
because i pass in cells
to the add method
so if you quick stack on a hotbar slot
you add to the inventory cells
wide silo
I got a better idea why not keep the value of the cells add it to the one in the inventory then remove the first one
tender stag
which are these
wide silo
Yea so from my understanding if you remove it than add it to the inv it will add 0
(i didn't read and analyse the the script tho)
timber tide
Is that what's going on? You got the value on the cells and not the items?
wide silo
Yup
tender stag
its on the Item
the cell holds the Item object
i just hide it in the world when a player picks it up
and show it when he throws it out
wide silo
Ok i get it
tender stag
when splitting items in the inventory i instantiate a new one
wide silo
But what about the amount of that item
tender stag
set the amount to half
wide silo
Ye that's what i meant
tender stag
thats not important tho
but this is how it works
you see when i picked up the item, it got set not active in the hierarchy
and when i split the item a new one gets instantiated
anyway im going to sleep
i spent like the whole day and its still not working
timber tide
Well, from what I can see is that you're readding it to the inventory after stacking. That is something you should look into and see if you can manage just deducting from the original item's stack amount, and if that amount is reduced to 0, just delete that instance.
tender stag
Well, from what I can see is that you're readding it to the inventory after stac...
yeah thats what i do here for example
thats for stacking items
it destroys the instance when the item you are adding can fit into an existing stack
timber tide
Alright, but here it looks like you're readding it to the inventory when the stack isn't depleted fully and that's the problem. If you're using some temporary instance to do this operation, then you need to carry over the previous item slot index I guess.
wide silo
Imma read the whole thing
tender stag
Alright, but here it looks like you're readding it to the inventory when the sta...

Debug values in the condition you are setting
silent ember
Debug values in the condition you are setting
what values? the angular velocity or something else?
fickle plume
Ah, you set it in awake. Do you get a delay for your debug message there as well?
silent ember
Ah, you set it in awake. Do you get a delay for your debug message there as well...
nope, no delay
fickle plume
Have you tried with lower angular velocity? Maybe you are breaking speed limits.
wintry quarry
The default limit is 7 rps I think? Which would be like 2520
wintry quarry
nope, no delay
Can you show the code that spawns this object?

If you are still struggling with this, test things in isolation. Use a clean scene and test that physics initializes properly there and everything works as expected, then start narrowing down what can cause it in your original one.

I ultimately gave up on this idea. I went with just rotating the transform every frame instead.
sage lotus
I must suck at Google. Been searching
struct I would only want to use for temp bits of data like if a collider is colliding right?
But I dint understand why I wouldn't use a bool in that case
buoyant knot
no
sage lotus
Is there an immediate benefit of using a struct vs a class?
Oh sorry. Thanks fir the reply. I'll wait
buoyant knot
structs are value type. classes are reference type
that is the main difference to work with
as the name implies, struct is short for “data structure”
sage lotus
Oh so if I won't need to reference outside of the script then I can safely use a struct to do things like control camera behavior on collision
buoyant knot
yeah. for example, vectors and collisions are very great examples of structs
polar acorn
Is there an immediate benefit of using a struct vs a class?
Structs are immutable, and passed by value. If you have a variable with a struct type, it holds the data right there, rather than a pointer to the data elsewhere. This means structs are very efficient to create and discard, no allocations or freeing of memory required. It also means that if you have a lot of data in it, it takes up a lot of memory in the heap. There is a point, different on different machines, where the speed gained from skipping the allocations is less than the speed lost dealing with passing things to and from the heap.
Basically, for small amounts of data, structs are faster. For large amounts of data, classes are faster. If you need to have multiple variables affecting the same data, classes must be used.
buoyant knot
Mathf is a great example of a struct that makes no sense being a struct
polar acorn
Mathf is a great example of a struct that makes no sense being a struct
Yeah that one's just baffling why it's not a static class
Another artifact of old unity
buoyant knot
just in case he sees things that are structs or not, and is confused
sage lotus
I'm so new to all this, I appreciate you guys explaining it to me
buoyant knot
generally speaking: if you expect to need changes during the lifetime of the object, you should use a class. UNLESS the object is so extremely simple ans small, that you can afford to make a whole new one cheaply every time you want to “modify” it
sage lotus
although I'm a bit confused still on the Mathf bit. Mathf I've only seen used in equations so far and don't fully understand what the meaning that it's a struct is
buoyant knot
because you can’t modify a struct. you’re basically making a whole new one
buoyant knot

it makes no sense being a struct
sage lotus
perfect. sounds like that's the way to go if I want a Zelda style behind the back camera
buoyant knot
that is a great example of a struct that has no business being a struct
sage lotus
oh i think i get it. so Mathf you wouldn't put into struct something something mathF
buoyant knot
On example I have of a struct is CardinalIntensity, which is a small struct which holds 4 ints. One for up/down/left/right
and I do a fuckload of math with it, and NEED operations on it to be blazing fast
needs to be a struct
COULD be a class, and I could make everything work. But it is a classic example of a time NOT to use a class

your playerLives in ItemCollector script needs to be updated as well when you take damage otherwise you add a life to default 5 value and update player lives with that resulting in that 6

Whether it's used as an inspector callback or through code, it needs to be used somewhere for it to have occurred.

are you talking about public void Open(Vector3 UserPosition)
im just confused on which method
and thats the script on the door
which has the sounds attacthed to it
ivory bobcat
are you talking about `public void Open(Vector3 UserPosition)`
Yes as suggested prior #💻┃unity-talk message
fossil drum
All his code seems to be from ChatGPT, he doesn't know where Close and Open is called on the doors, I asked him in #💻┃unity-talk. I told him to do an actual programming course instead of just copying stuff from ChatGPT.
knotty plume
No i did not get it all from chatgpt
i followed a guide
and then when this error came up again and again
i handed it to chatgpt
i thought a class getting called is you writing it
ivory bobcat
where should i call it
when the door opens in game
knotty plume
>>> when the door opens in game
but doesnt it already get called when it opens in game because the method opens the door
and the sound plays with it
fossil drum
Well, something is calling Close and Open, and you say you followed a guide that wrote it, then you would know when you actually did write it.
ivory bobcat
I think you should follow the guide exactly as is
fossil drum
I think getting some coding fundamentals would be better to get before following the guide, like the junior programming pathway linked in the top right.
Then you would actually get the idea behind why the guide does what it does. But what ever floats your boat.

Is PlayerPrefs a temporary save? I used it to transfer some variables between scenes (the game level + menu) and they working but when i start a new play session i still can load them back however they also gets overwriten by the new session values.
For example if i have a score variable and the player scores 2 point then on the next try 1, the total score on the stat would show 3. If i exit the app and start again i can load back the total score 3, but if i score, say 2 point it the total score will be 2 instead of 5. (android phone)

I've got a couple prefabs that make up different patterns of individual objects I'm spawning at once. Is there an easy way to get the size of the whole prefab without having to code it for each prefab?
Trying to get them to randomly spawn into a particular sized zone and need to adjust the position based on the size of the pattern so some of them don't go out of bounds
charred spoke
Well you could add up the bounds of all individual objects in the prefab with a script during editor time
Or when you spawn the objet depends on your need

I was thinking if there wasn't a built in way, that I might just add a collider to the prefabs and use the bounds properties? Does that make sense? Seems easier than trying to add up all the children

isn't the same as
Start, which is what Unity will call automatically

So is the start there unnecessary?
north kiln
No, you just haven't capitalised it properly, and somehow haven't noticed the difference in the 4 or so times it's been pointed out
swift crag
unity has a number of messages it will send to MonoBehaviours when certain conditions are met
for example, the Update message is sent every frame to every enabled-and-active MonoBehaviour
river halo
Yes, the first letter of the start was supposed to be capitalized, but I wrote it lowercase, thank you very much.
swift crag
and the Start message is sent before Update on the first frame an object is enabled-and-active
river halo
problem solved
swift crag
messages work by finding a method with a matching name and calling that
method names are case-sensitive
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html has a list of every message a MonoBehaviour can receive

and draws a line from point to point + direction
also, the fourth argument is not a length.
It is how long the line will stay drawn.

Could I get a quick hand here please. Trying to draw the ray.
Debug.DrawRay(foot.position, -foot.up * raycastSize, Color.red, float.MaxValue);
//inside raycast if statement if you want
Debug.DrawLine(foot.position, hit.point, Color.yellow, float.MaxValue);
swift crag
if not provided, the line will last for one frame
silent valley
why you draw"line" only if raycast hit something
I did realize and face palmed myself. :p
gaunt ice
you may use else to draw ray of different color
if hit draw red ray
else draw green ray
easier to debug
silent valley

yeah isn't that the same var u use for ur raycast?
swift crag
But you passed it as the fourth argument to DrawLine
That is not correct. The fourth argument is the duration of the DrawLine/DrawRay command
You should instead mutliply it by the direction the ray was casted in
-foot.up has a length of 1.
Multiplying it by raycastSize will give you a vector that's the correct length
so that Debug.DrawRay can draw a line from the start to the end of the raycast

Raycasts and DrawRay are different
There is no "length" parameter of DrawRay, the direction and length are the same one

and draws a line from `point` to `point + direction`

Hi, I have two Shader Graph shaders that I want to use on a single sprite. However, SpriteRenderer only allows for a single material in the Inspector. Does this mean a sprite can only have 1 material assigned? Is there the option to use a materials array?
rich adder
cant you just combine the shaders into 1 ?
silent valley
I'm just reading all you have written and looking at unity docs
swift crag
Vector3 start = new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
Vector3 end = new Vector3(3, 0, 0);
Vector3 delta = end - start; // [2, 0, 0]
Debug.DrawLine(start, end);
Debug.DrawLine(start, start + delta);
Debug.DrawRay(start, delta);
these are all equivalent

yeah iirc rigidbody used to be a property on monobehavior
swift crag
In the distant, distant past, you had a bunch of extra properties on MonoBehaviour
These don't actually exist anymore, but you still get warned that you'd be hiding them
if you declare a member with the same name as one from your parent, you're "hiding" it
honest haven
yeah iirc rigidbody used to be a property on monobehavior
is there a fix to remove that warning
rich adder
i just call my rigidbody rb xD
swift crag
You can add new to signal that you meant to hide the field. Although, I think that'll then cause a warning when you compile, because that member doesn't actually exist in the built game
rich adder
or add the new keyword I suppose
public new Rigidbody rigidbody;
but yeah thats ugly
swift crag
I always call mine rb

yeah very common across the board i think

What would be a good way to Lerp between 0 and 1 using an enum and a dynamic time? like timer = 1 or 2+ etc. This is for the slider to go between 0-1 over X time
IEnumerator LerpGlow()
{
mat.material.SetFloat("_Lerp", 0);
float newTimer = 0;
while(newTimer < timer)
{
newTimer += Time.deltaTime;
mat.material.SetFloat("_Lerp", newTimer);
yield return null;
}
are u using a character controller?
Translate wont give you accurate collisions and will phase you thru stuff
you're essentially teleporting the player
hidden citrus
would it be
mat.material.SetFloat("_Lerp", Mathf.Clamp(0, 1, newTimer));
to clamp the range?

You already have a rigidbody
use that

you can't freeze position tho
unless u only move up and down

you can't freeze position tho
what do you mean
rich adder
the constraits you currently have on rigidbody
"Freeze Position"
do you know what that does
polar comet
well i think i tried to use it to solve an issue i had with camera movement but it didn't solve it so i did something else and it was a success this time so for now Freeze position is useless for me
but i want to know what is it's use
rich adder
it just freeze the rigidbody on those axes (ie if something smacks into it it doesnt fo flying on x or z)
or in your case also it doesnt rotate up or down when hitting something

Hi, I hope i am posting this in right channel, if not let me know and ill move it.
ive been trying to get my projectile to "kill" objects in my scene but i cannot wrap my head around why it doesnt work. Is there anyone that could help me to see what it is im doing wrong ?
what ive checked:
collision matrix - everything is ticked so everything can collide with everything.
box2d collider is set to "is trigger" on both projectile and enemy
body type: dynamic
collision type - discrete
Tags
layers
note: the enemy (2dsquarered) is a child of empty "Enemie"
2dsquarered is what holds collider, sprite and rigidbody2d
what i notice of behaviour: player and enemie doesnt collide and are able to walk through eachother.
bullet: flies through enemie.
ive added screenshots containing the various inspectors of each element and projectilebehaviour and enemyhealth script.
thanks in advance !

you would do animator.SetFloat("speed", 2f);
or whatever value you want there
If you're using a rigidbody and it's named rb, you could do animator.SetFloat("speed", rb.velocity);
err
animator.SetFloat("speed", rb.velocity.magnitude)
there we go
rb.velocity is a Vector3. rb.velocity.magnitude is the length of that vector, which is your speed
swift crag
`animator.SetFloat("speed", rb.velocity.magnitude)`
You should do this in Update, since that runs before the animation system
I guess that's kind of the default anyway, lol
doing it in LateUpdate would make your values a frame late

swift crag

I would create a system to control which "mode" the player is in
currently, you only have the "combat" mode, where you have a weapon out
in that mode, you would show a weapon and let the player fire
when you exit the "combat" mode, you would hide the weapon
once that works, you would add a "grab" mode
I'd attach the object to the player with a FixedJoint
or maybe a SpringJoint, if heavy objects should move more slowly
when you enter "grab" mode, you would attach the joint
and in "grab" mode, you'd use the input that normally makes you shoot to instead disconnect the joint and shove the object
swift crag
you could also check if the object is too far from the joint and forcibly exit "grab" mode
So I would start with "combat" and "idle" states
that'll be an easy one to do: just put the weapon away and do nothing special

no worries! go to the link, click download package, it will give you a .nuget file. change the extension to .zip and extract it. go in and find a .dll that corresponds to the scripting runtime you're using in Unity (probably look for the .NET Standard .dll but that that's up to your project).

Vector2.down is the direction. i don't know what you mean by "affects" it since it doesn't change the direction. it's just how far in that direction the box travels during the cast
