[bright violet]

yes

on the right they have a number don't they

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.Scene-buildIndex.html

[languid spire]

no, look to the right

[bright violet]

yeah, that's your index, you can use that

[rich adder]

you don't want to hardcode scene numbers

[shadow flame]

i dont under stand how to do it

[rich adder]

did you read link what I sent ?

[calm coral]

Well you can use [Scene] tag before an int so in the inspector it's easier to pick a scene

[shadow flame]

yes i dont realy get it

[rich adder]

no don't just copy code willy nilly

[shadow flame]

😦

[rich adder]

you have to understand that you have access to that list through buildIndex property

[shadow flame]

some thing like get active scene + 1

[rich adder]

sure stuff like that

[polar acorn]

So look up how to get the active scene index

[rich adder]

yup. its literally in the link as example code

[shadow flame]

scene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();

this?

[rich adder]

that gives you the Scene

then you have access to other proprieties

like index , name etc.

[shadow flame]

i am so confused lmoa

[rich adder]

look at this line
Debug.Log("Active Scene name is: " + scene.name + "\nActive Scene index: " + scene.buildIndex);

its literally in english

[polar acorn]

What do you want to get from the active scene

[rich adder]

if you don't understand the string you might need to do some basic c# courses

[shadow flame]

to go to the next scene in the line

[verbal dome]

Get the current scene's build index and add to that. Then load the scene with that number

[polar acorn]

Okay, so what property do you want from the current scene to know what the next scene is

[rich adder]

whats a proprety

[tender stag]

how can i make it so that i the OnBeginDrag works on slots which are on different canvases?
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/gelonezibo.pgsql

the input and output slots on the right are slots which are on a different canvas

thats why OnBeginDrag is not being called

[shadow flame]

why does this not work

[rich adder]

don't nest functions

even tho it works (without using an accessor)

[calm coral]

It works? How?

[rich adder]

Local Functions

its rare but they have been useful

[calm coral]

I've never seen implementing a method inside another method

[rich adder]

like doing something once etc

[shadow flame]

how can i send code here

[rich adder]

can some1 fix this 🙏

[tender stag]

i have slots on a different canvas, and when i try to drag (OnBeginDrag) its not detecting them because there on a different canvas than this script is on and inventory slots are in, how do i go around it?

[rich adder]

it was fine inside the if statement

but it should not be a function

also nice chat GPT code

[shadow flame]

Ik

i tried it and it didnt work

[rich adder]

obv its not teaching you fundamnetals of c#.. this will be more of a struggle

[rich adder]

because you had a nested function

and arent calling LoadNext();

you have to remove the function inside a function

if statement isn't a function

[tender stag]

first of all remove LoadNext from OnCollisionEnter2D

and then actually call the function

[crude prawn]

tbh if ur struggling with this u should learn the very basics of unity c#

[calm coral]

Interesting I'd like to find its usage though...
Thanks for sharing

[summer stump]

Now just CALL the function

[rich adder]

ok good

[summer stump]

LoadNext()
Where you want to do it

[tender stag]

i remember these struggles

lmao

[rich adder]

I personally used them myself more often doing Console apps , its been a while.. I'm sure if you look around some examples are therem the use cases are explained pretty much on the doc

[rich adder]

ok one step closer.

[calm coral]

Yeah, I need to read it all, thanks again!

[shadow flame]

now what?

[rich adder]

make sure your player is tagged with Player and u have a collider on both

at least 1 rigidbody

[summer stump]

Sorry to add on, but your nextSceneIndex at the top has nothing to do with the one in the LoadNext function. Whenever you write the type (int in this case) you are declaring a variable. It is a new and unrelated one.

It doesn't matter here, but this misconception may cause you confusion later

[rich adder]

local variable will not affect something with the same name

[tender stag]

can someone please help me with this?

[rich adder]

they're different as far computer knows

[rich adder]

where did you put this script?

[tender stag]

and then this is like a military crate

it has its own canvas

thats why OnBeginDrag is not called

[rich adder]

iirc OnDrag should be on the canvas, or of the elemnts you want

[tender stag]

maybe theres like a setting in project settings for the OnBeginDrag to work on all canvases?

or like in the event system

[rich adder]

You shouldn't make OnDrag be part of some type of Inventory manager

[tender stag]

why not?

[rich adder]

I wouldn't do it that way

because its already doing way too much in 1 script

your mixing inventory logic with UI movement /drag logic

[tender stag]

i see what you mean

alright i'll put that in the cell script

but still

the OnBeginDrag is not detecting other canvases

[rich adder]

also other canvases should have the same component obv

Graphic Raycaster etc.

[tender stag]

the inventory manager?

[abstract pelican]

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Camera sceneCamera;
    [SerializeField] private LayerMask placementLayerMask;

    public event Action OnClicked, OnExit;
    
    private Vector3 lastPosition;
    
    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            OnClicked?.Invoke();
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
            OnExit?.Invoke();
    }

    public static bool IsPointerOverUI() => EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject();

    public Vector3 GetSelectedPosition()
    {
        Vector3 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
        mousePosition.z = sceneCamera.nearClipPlane;
        Ray ray = sceneCamera.ScreenPointToRay(mousePosition);

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 100, placementLayerMask))
        {
            lastPosition = hit.point;
        }

        return lastPosition;
    }
}

if I don't build it, everything is displayed exactly, although this was not the case on a regular camera?

[rich adder]

no the canvases

[tender stag]

yeah

should the canvases have inventory manager?

each one

i think that would work

[rich adder]

each one should be smaller managers of their own inventory/stack at very least

then communicate that to a bigger manager of stacks

think of it like if you disable something it should not break everything else

each part should be able to function independently without breaking

[tender stag]

should i put the OnBeginDrag on my slot? and then communicate with my Inventory Manager?

that'd be the best option

i think

[rich adder]

I usually put it on the individual UI elements

all the IBeginDragHandler etc

[violet topaz]

Where should I start more multiplayer matchmaking? i followed Code Monkeys video on Game server hosting(multiplay) and matchmaker but i don't know how to set up the code

[rich adder]

advice on multiplayer. Don't make it one of your starter projects

you will just encounter pain

[violet topaz]

This isnt my starter project i just want to make a prototype for a different game that i have been work on for a little

[rich adder]

but i don't know how to set up the code

sounds like this is one of your starter project

besides specific API stuff to Netcode everything else is normal coding you do in single player

[polar acorn]

If you feel the need to post the question in #💻┃code-beginner you should probably not be touching multiplayer with a ten-foot pole

[smoky echo]

Anyone know why my character like levitates when i attack sometimes? At end is a good example, happens sometimes when im just like on a weird surface also and just attacking, im guessing its my collision box but just wanna check

2x speed btw xD

[analog lark]

is there a tutorial or anything

on how to make a 2d kinematic rigidbody (with movement, jumping, etc.)

[tender stag]

so back to the question

what is my best option

[tender stag]

could i do this?

just have the OnBeginDrag OnDrag etc on the slot

and then communicate with Inventory Manager?

it looks messy

[rich adder]

wdym messy? also using events would be cleaner

[tender stag]

what do you mean events

[rich adder]

having a giant monolith of different systems is th messy one

[tender stag]

how do i do it cleaner

can you help me

[rich adder]

I'm trying mate Inventories vary in complexities, I'm not even sure what you're going for exaclly

what is even the purpose of these cells

[tender stag]

just drag and drop to work across different canvases

[tender stag]

they hold items

there slots

[rich adder]

I get that but why all the drag and stuff from the cell itself

[tender stag]

because when i do it inside Inventory Manager, it doesnt detect the slots

because there on different canvases

each like chest has its own canvas with slots

so when i had OnBeginDrag in inventory manager it only worked for the slots in the inventory

(slots attached to the canvas the inventory manager is on)

[rich adder]

I get that but what are you struggling with

[tender stag]

because i wanted to do it that way

handle everything inside Inventory Manager

but i dont know how

[rich adder]

each slot has their own logic yes?

[tender stag]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/uneqorinum.csharp

this is the slot

[rich adder]

eg, if you drop items into it, should it stack

[tender stag]

no i handle that in OnEndDrag

all the logic is here

[rich adder]

wouldnt OnEndDrag go on the actual UI element?

like the item itself

[tender stag]

doesnt need to

shouldnt at least

i really want to handle the OnBeginDrag OnDrag and OnEndDrag in my inventory manager

but again OnBeginDrag wouldnt work this way

unless you can somehow in project settings make it so that it works on every ui element in the scene

[tender stag]

i have this

[rich adder]

🤷 I wouldn't know, My UI knoweldge only goes as far as card games

[tender stag]

when i drop items it checks if there is a slot under your mouse

[ashen ferry]

bro has messed up architecture he can keep pushing forward but a lot of his problems stem from the fact responsibilities are all over the place tbh

[tender stag]

then what do i do

[rich adder]

I use OnDrop method on the slot itslef 🤷

to see whats been dropped into it

[tender stag]

then i wouldnt need the GetCellUnderMouse method?

[rich adder]

I'm not saying thats how you should do it, just saying most of my logic is handled by the Slot class itself

since it deals with slot processing the item

maybe look at different inventory tutorials, see where they did something you can improve , make better version of combined knowledge

[tender stag]

i already spent last 2 months working on the inventory

watched like all the tutorials

theres nothing left

[rich adder]

well code mutates and adapts, refactoring is a thing

[ashen ferry]

then u accumulated a lot of lessons to go bald and redo it the sooner the better imo

[tender stag]

did that 3 times

[ashen ferry]

well idk im on 3rd time too now with couple of main systems in my game and its getting cleaner every time lol

I bet some of mfs are the 10x devs and can do it right at first try but redoing it is like my main way to do things cause I see why current code sucks at the end

[rich adder]

inventories are def the top furstrating / complex to work on imo

[ashen ferry]

yea

[tender stag]

alright im doing all my drag and drop logic inside the slot

[rich adder]

OnBeginDrag /OnDrop probably

[tender stag]

and end

[rich adder]

why would you end drag a slot?

I have EndDrag on my card if its dropped somewhere besides a slot

it returns back to original slot/pos

[solar heron]

Hey, how do I get the components parent name?

[polar acorn]

What do you mean "parent name"

[rich adder]

any component on gameobject has a transform, that has a property for parent if thats what you want

[solar heron]

Nvm i think i know what im doing ill update 1 sec

[tender stag]

is a click drag and drop easier than actual dragging?

[rich adder]

eh probably a question for UI/UX

[ashen ferry]

prolly same just u start and end it diffrently

[analog lark]

is there a tutorial or anything
on how to make a 2d kinematic rigidbody (with movement, jumping, etc.)

[rich adder]

the internet has plenty

[analog lark]

do you have any particular one in mind

[acoustic arch]

so im attempting to make a gun stay on the screen but itll rotate with the player yet it wont like move from its current position if i look right/left it might change to be like in the middle of the screen

[rich adder]

not really, there are too many tbh I dont work too much in 2D

[rich adder]

video of issue

• script

[acoustic arch]

alright

like your new pfp btw

[rich adder]

which object is weapon parented to

[acoustic arch]

https://hatebin.com/dzqemohmls (cam script)
https://hatebin.com/bjvjmttsod (player)

its on the player, but it acts the same for both of them

[analog lark]

then are there any you know if that work in 3d?
shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to 2d

[rich adder]

oh my

please don't do this

transform.rotation = new Quaternion(cam.transform.rotation.x, cam.transform.rotation.y, transform.rotation.z, transform.rotation.w);

use euler angles

[acoustic arch]

alright

i had it originally that

[rich adder]

also why is it rotating with cam on X

[acoustic arch]

oh that was just a test to see how the gun would react

[rich adder]

ok show hirerchy, also inspector for gun

[acoustic arch]

k

[acoustic arch]

the cubes just have a mesh filter + renderer

[rich adder]

did u try comment this out activeGun.transform.position = transform.position + gunOffset;

oh wait

camera holder is not in the player?

[acoustic arch]

oh damn

its working now

[acoustic arch]

all i did was comment this out so the x,y,z must have been getting set by that instead of the parent object

transform.Translate(transform.forward * speed * verticalInput * Time.deltaTime); is it transform.forward to go up in the x or Vector3.forward?

[rich adder]

up in the x?

forward is blue = z

red is .right

Vector3 is in worldspace

I wouldnt use translate if you plan on using collisions

[acoustic arch]

oh

what do i use instead

change the position?

[rich adder]

Character Controller

or Rigidbody

[acoustic arch]

addforce to it

[rich adder]

if you want physics

[acoustic arch]

its a very very simple game

[rich adder]

CC would suffice if you don't want gravity or physics reactions

[acoustic arch]

alright

[rich adder]

just collisions

.Move()

[acoustic arch]

idk how they work really

ive done it once ever

[rich adder]

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

you just switch Translate for Move (ofc from CC component)

and its pretty much done

[acoustic arch]

and add the component

[rich adder]

ye

[SerializeField] private CharacterController controller;
controller.Move(etc.

[acoustic arch]

alright

[violet topaz]

when use on on click in a button i can cant select a function whats happening?```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class SelectClass1 : MonoBehaviour
{
public int whatClass = 0;
public void ARClass()
{
whatClass = 1;
}

}```

[acoustic arch]

will i need to replace all of my transform rotations and other stuff with controller.Move?

[rich adder]

you are probably not selecting the script from a gameObject but the project folder

[rich adder]

not necessary

[acoustic arch]

currently the player no longer will rotate on the y from the camera

it is completely stationary

[rich adder]

show current code

[acoustic arch]

so it currently only goes in 1 direction

[acoustic arch]

` void Update()
{
horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    characterController.Move(Vector3.right * speed * horizontalInput * Time.deltaTime);
    characterController.Move(Vector3.forward * speed * verticalInput * Time.deltaTime);


    transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, cam.transform.rotation.y, transform.rotation.z);
}`

the movement works just not where im facing

[rich adder]

first combine your move into 1 call

[acoustic arch]

so make horizontal and vertical all in 1?

[rich adder]

I would use transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * rotVel);

[acoustic arch]

im not sure what im doing right now

[acoustic arch]

Vector3 move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);

?

[rich adder]

characterController.Move((transform.right * speed * horizontalInput * Time.deltaTime) + (transform.forward * speed * verticalInput * Time.deltaTime));```

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, cam.localRotation.y, 0);

[acoustic arch]

with this i cant move at all

oh

nvm

[acoustic arch]

this should be cam.transform.localRotation.y probably

[rich adder]

sure, its just an example

[acoustic arch]

alright so

my player still doesnt go in the direction im looking

oh wait

weird

the player rotates like extremely slow

when the camera rotates around 360 degrees the player only moves 1 degree

[quaint turtle]

hey guys how are you

@everyone

@everyone

[rich adder]

the tag doesn't work spammy dude

[rich adder]

nice job deleteting your racist text

[quaint turtle]

thanks

[rich adder]

you knew you was gonna catch a ban

[quaint turtle]

it was my sister

souwy

[slender nymph]

<@&502884371011731486>s can see deleted messages 😉

[rich adder]

so the camera rotates fine but player doesn't ?

[acoustic arch]

yes

the player rotates from 0-1 when the camera goes 0-360 total

[rich adder]

did you reference the correct camera object?

[acoustic arch]

i would think so, otherwise it shouldnt move at all

[rich adder]

it couuld be grabbing wrong object rotation

[acoustic arch]

yeah ill try some stuff, should i remove the players rb

cause it has the character controller on it anyway

[rich adder]

why do u have a rigidbody

[acoustic arch]

it does nothing

i removed it

[rich adder]

not sure why u added it, anyway does it work without it?

[acoustic arch]

it was there from before, and yeah it moves without it

player rotation still is the same as b4 tho

should the camera it uses not be a child object of the camera holder?

[rich adder]

try .rotation

because ur rotating the parent I think

[acoustic arch]

alright

[rich adder]

ideally if you were referencing camera holder it wouldn't be an issue prob

[acoustic arch]

i tried that and it didnt even do its small rotation

[acoustic arch]

same thing

should i send the whole code again?

https://hatebin.com/qrzoppudrj (player)

https://hatebin.com/enriawqrml (cam)

[rich adder]

try transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, cam.transform.eulerAngles.y, 0);

[acoustic arch]

alright

[rich adder]

I did not adhere to my own advice

[acoustic arch]

can you explain this afterword btw

[rich adder]

used the quaternion instead of euler

[acoustic arch]

what does euler mean

how does it differ from a quaternion

(i'm trying to learn)

[rich adder]

-1 to 1 vs 0-360 or -180 to 180 , lol i forget

[acoustic arch]

oh interesting

which is which

[rich adder]

euler uses degrees

[acoustic arch]

oh so

the inspector uses euler

[rich adder]

its showing you euler angles yes

if you hit inspector debug mode you can see quaternion values iirc

[acoustic arch]

oh thanks

How do I make it so that when I press to sit down, he sits down if I'm even standing still and so that I don't have to hold the squat button?

[slender nymph]

if you want to toggle crouching rather than holding it then instead of subscribing to the canceled event for the Crouch action and checking the current state of the button in onCrouch, you'd want to just flip a bool each time the button is pressed

[timid quartz]

hi all, whenever I close my game I get 1000s of copies of this error and I have no idea where to find out what serialized anything has been "disposed" of

[abstract pelican]

perfromer?

?

[rich adder]

try resetting your Layout

[timid quartz]

what does a Layout mean in this context?

[slender nymph]

no. i didn't say "subscribe to the performed event instead of the canceled event"

[rich adder]

your error seems to be related to something with Unity Editor UI
maybe window or something not disposed properly

[abstract pelican]

could you give me a hint where to look?

[slender nymph]

where to look for what?

[abstract pelican]

Where to look, I'm just new to this topic

[summer stump]

There is nothing to look for. You just.. make a bool

[abstract pelican]

I still don't understand why the squat animation doesn't work for me right away, but only in motion

[timid quartz]

that seems to have done it for now, thank you!

if I rerun the game and it explodes again I'll come back

[rich adder]

lets see

[violet topaz]

im trying to make a character select screen but i cant the get player to spawn```cs
public class SelectClass1 : MonoBehaviour
{

public int whatClass = 0;
public bool pickedAR = false;

public void ARClass()
{
    whatClass = 1;
}
private void Update()
{
    if(whatClass == 1)
    {
        pickedAR = true;
    }
}

} cs
public class ChangeClass : MonoBehaviour
{
public SelectClass1 Class;
public GameObject ClassSelected;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Awake()
{
Class = GetComponent<SelectClass1>();

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if(Class.pickedAR == true)
    {
        ClassSelected.SetActive(true);
    }
}

}```

[slender nymph]

well for that you need to look at the conditions in the if statements where you set the isCrouched bool on the animator

[timid quartz]

ok yep it blew up.... I think the problem is that I have data that has been serialized and then I'm dumping it when the game stops. like a list of serialized things. and then when I close it, we dump them out of memory but Unity wants to hold onto that data

[violet topaz]

here the error

[rich adder]

what version of Unity are you on?

could be 2022 bug

[abstract pelican]

?

will that be right?

[timid quartz]

2022.3.10f1 which I believe is the current LTS?

[slender nymph]

have you considered testing it?

[rich adder]

yes, I also been having weird SerializedReference errors

[abstract pelican]

I've just tested it, nothing has changed

[timid quartz]

I am going to just un-serialize stuff. I had it serialized so I could sneak some peeks into my data at runtime. but if it that just actually explodes then that's not worth it.

[rich adder]

I just restart editor and fixes it sometimes

you could always try deleting library folder and rebuild

maybe some nasty bad cache lurking

[slender nymph]

are you sure you actually saved the code?

[timid quartz]

yep, un-serializing my newest thing fixed it.

[rich adder]

weird

[abstract pelican]

he himself is saved in the rider

[timid quartz]

my guess is this is what happens when you throw around "system.serializable" as a "show me this in the inspector" and ignoring the fact that setting something up with serialization has genuine memory ramifications, I dunno

chalking this one up to something I just had to learn the hard way and moving on, thanks so much!

[rich adder]

idk I never had issues with Serializable

def try maybe making unity package with the same assets and use something like 2021 as test

[violet topaz]

can someone help me

[slate badge]

this might sound dumb but can anyone help me with this?

[rich adder]

what is "this"

[rich adder]

which one is the spawn ?

[slate badge]

its a code where if the player goes above the certain x, the camera goes to the new vector

[violet topaz]

change class

[abstract pelican]

help guys

[rich adder]

so whats the problem

[abstract pelican]

maybe there is something to choose?

[rich adder]

check console for errors / debug your bools

[slate badge]

the camera just wont shift to the new vector

[rich adder]

and where did you assign that?

[slate badge]

where did i assign what? the script?

[rich adder]

the camera just wont shift to the new vector

where did you tell it to shift to that vector

[slate badge]

vector = new Vector2(307, 126);

[violet topaz]

@rich adder this it the error

[rich adder]

where is the camera being assigned to this vector

[autumn cargo]

so the distanceJoint is totally fine

it spawns at the hit.point

however.. the line renderer set to the same position with the raycast hit does not.

it spawns ontop of the game object.

it looks like this (see image)

as you can see the distance joint connects (by touch, with ray cast) but the line renderer spawns ontop of the game object. the reason why it's far from the object is because its swinging at themoment

[rich adder]

you're just storing 2 numbers right now

[rich adder]

so it looks like you haven't assigned something

[slate badge]

here's the entire thing if it helps

[rich adder]

again..where are you assigning this vector to the camera.?

this is just a struct of 2 numbers

it does nothing by itself

its like expecting 123 to do something

[violet topaz]

this is the inspector but i cant assign anything to the Class

[slate badge]

doesn't vector = new Vector2 mean im assigning the camera to have a new vector?

[rich adder]

no you're just assigning new numbers to your struct vector

not actually doing anything with them

[slate badge]

I see

so what should i do instead

[rich adder]

use those numbers to assign it to the camera if thats what you want

reference the camera's transform

assign it to the position

[rich adder]

which gameobject has that script ?

SelectClass1

[violet topaz]

A game Manager. do i need to switch it to the player?

[abstract pelican]

?

[rich adder]

are they both in the scene?

[violet topaz]

yeah

[slender nymph]

well that's certainly not a helpful response. and yes, it is important to make sure that you have saved your code and that it has compiled in unity or else any changes you make won't actually be applied

[rich adder]

you should also remove Class = GetComponent<SelectClass1>(); since youre gonna assign it in the inspector

[abstract pelican]

it was about the animator

[rich adder]

show me inspector for this object

[slender nymph]

huh?

[violet topaz]

which one

[abstract pelican]

now I can sit down while standing, now how do I make it sit down when pressed so that I don't pinch the button?

[slender nymph]

i already told you how to do that

[slender nymph]

it was literally the first thing i told you
#💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

the one that has SelectClass1 script on it

[abstract pelican]

I'm sorry, I don't understand much yet, could you tell me in detail or show me on my code?

[slender nymph]

go read [this message again](#💻┃code-beginner message). i will not be writing the code for you. if you have questions about how to do something specific related to it, then ask a specific question. do not just respond with ?

[violet topaz]

@rich adder

[rich adder]

ok are you dragging MainMenu object in that slot of ChangeClass

[violet topaz]

how do i do it if its in a differnt sence

[rich adder]

jesus h christ

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/references/cross-scene-references

tbh you can just carry over the values from one scene to another

doubt you need cross references for this one, doing that in update is overkill

store it in an object that persist scenes, find it. Use singleton like it says

public int whatClass = 0;
you should probably getting into doing enums

public enum Classes { Scout, Medic, Assault } //eg
public Classes SelectedClass;

SelectedClass = Classes.Medic```

[slate badge]

@rich adder sorry for disturbing but i tried this but still didn't work, any suggestions?

[summer stump]

That is offsetting the transform of the object that script is attached to by a huge amount

Is that what you wanted?

[slate badge]

i just want the object to go to that new vector

kind of like just teleporting there

[summer stump]

Then remove the second transform.position

Just do
transform.positions = new Vector3(values)

[slate badge]

ah i see what was my problem, I previously used vector (the variable referring to the vector2 of the object) = new Vector2

Guess that doesn't work

and u have to directly call the position of the object

thanks an

man*

[violet topaz]

@rich adder I have no idea on how to do it can you help me again

[rich adder]

it would've if you did transform.position = vector;

[slate badge]

ah i see

[rich adder]

wdym , whats the problem?

[violet topaz]

spawning in the player

i put what you told me in the script and it works but i dont know how to spawn the player

[rich adder]

let me see what you have so far.

[violet topaz]

i only have the code you gave me. i got frustrated and deleted the script.```cs
public class SelectClass1 : MonoBehaviour
{
public enum Classes { Scout, Medic, Assault }
public Classes SelectedClass;

public void ARClass()
{
    SelectedClass = Classes.Assault;
}

}```

[rich adder]

why did you copy that lol it was an example of enumeration which i said you should learn.
Anyway you can just simplify this to be the class that also spawns the player and persists to the next scene

you will need this
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

dont copy and paste script, read what the function does

its 1 line

its important you learn/read these things as you will be using them often, I dont have time to explain why they're useful just read description

[violet topaz]

@rich adder i got it but when i switch scene i cant get the camera. and its important to my player

error: MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Camera' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.

I will be back in ten if you answer

[rich adder]

which script is showing this error?

[swift crag]

Always show your code. We cannot see your screen.

[violet topaz]

the error is on SelectClass

public class SelectClass1 : MonoBehaviour
{
    public enum Classes { Scout, Medic, Assault } 
    public Classes SelectedClass;
    public GameObject Assault;

    public void ARClass()
    {
        SelectedClass = Classes.Assault;
        if(SelectedClass == Classes.Assault)
        {
            Instantiate(Assault);
            DontDestroyOnLoad(Assault);
        }
    }
    

}

[rich adder]

oh, you put DDOL on the wrong object.
I was saying make this class selector also your spawn script in the next scene so put DDOL for it then spawn player when scene is changed

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-sceneLoaded.html
Also make sure you spawn a prefab of the class

[livid nova]

I'm trying to figure out a solution for when I change scenes. With each scene I need to load things like player position on load, Location of camera limits/clamps, name of the scene, and in each case it's going to generally be different. Is there a prefered way to do this? I have a general idea of how I could do this but it seems messy, where I would create a list or library and just pull from that

[violet topaz]

would i put the DDOL in the start or like a update

[rich adder]

are you asking about saving those values or do something on scene change?

[polar acorn]

Show the full error stack trace

[unique violet]

What is this error?

Assets/Scripts/PageSwitch.cs(4,17): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Unity' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

https://pastebin.com/0QnqPznc

[rich adder]

awake/start would be fine

[polar acorn]

Show a screenshot of your IDE with this script open please

[unique violet]

im using rider

[polar acorn]

Make sure you've saved the script, then clear the console

[unique violet]

worked thanks

[violet topaz]

@rich adder something like this? ```cs
public class ChangeClass : MonoBehaviour
{
private SelectClass1 Select;
private void Start()
{
DontDestroyOnLoad(Select.Assault);
}

}```

[livid nova]

I have a system that could handle the saving. It's that every scene has different values and I'm not sure how I should store for each scene and move the data.

Not in the "I'm puttin the data on a JSON file" sense, but that I don't know how I should pull the data on load. Something like 'load scene' then based on the scene loaded the parameters are then loaded from a library.

[last bane]

how could i access data from other script in Unity Job without need to copy that data?

[gaunt ice]

Load to native/unsafe container and use pointer access

Or you are not talking about job system, then just reference the script

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-sceneLoaded.html
Check the scene name/index then go from there for specific thing you want load

[rich adder]

Negative

what does your next scene setup look like ?(how do you spawn player etc.) @violet topaz

[violet topaz]

Sorry I got off but I will see tomorrow

[last bane]

something like this? i dunno how pointers work yet

class Chunk{
  public NativeArray<BlockType> VoxelMap;
}

class ChunkManager : MonoBehaviour{
  public public NativeArray<NativeArray<BlockType>> VoxelMaps;
}

[BurstCompile]
struct ChunkJob : IJob{
  public NativeArray<NativeArray<BlockType>> VoxelMaps*;
}

[gaunt ice]

Ijob is struct

And native array not support native array as its element

[last bane]

unsafe does

[last bane]

ik i just typed it like that

[gaunt ice]

Public unsafelist<something>* some ptr
Don’t remember to add the native disable unsafe ptr restriction attribute on it, then access it through some ptr->property

-> is operator of dereferencing pointer address

Actually i suggest you just copy the unsafe list into local variables then assign it back at the end of the job, continuously dereferencing address is quite expensive

[last bane]

i need to check neighboring chunks to update them properly, and i wanted to avoid copying voxelMap of all neighboring chunks

[gaunt ice]

Copying an unsafe list only costs 16 byte iirc,

[last bane]

whats "iirc"?

[gaunt ice]

If i remember correctly

Though for some readonly container i just copy the base addr and count to the job, i dont even need its capacity

[last bane]

huh? i think i miss something, how copying 6 x short[64 , 64, 64] is 16 byte 🤔

[gaunt ice]

Copying the pointer is 8 bytes, count and capacity together is another 8 bytes

[last bane]

i think i will start learning C++ to understand these pointers 😂

i never seen someone using them in C#

[gaunt ice]

You pass the pointer only (low level reference) to the job

[last bane]

i saw only 1 guy doing Class that was working somehow like pointer

[frosty rose]

this is being called from a pointer enter event trigger inside a ui, how can i get the gameobject of the ui that the mouse entered?

public void MouseHover()
{
    moveTarget = true;
}

[last bane]

probably by using raycast from mouse pos

[frosty rose]

really there is no paramater that describes the gameobject? i recently switched from roblox lua to unity and normally i wouldve done something like this

public void MouseHover(gameobject)
{
    if gameobject.Name == "Right" then
end

    moveTarget = true;
}

[teal viper]

The function is called on the GameObject that was hovered, so you can access it with gameObject or this for the component reference.

I suggest checking out how MonoBehaviour and components in general work in unity.

[frosty rose]

ahh okay thankyou

[frosty rose]

will do

[topaz mortar]

I'm making an idle game where the damage is automatic every x amount of time once combat starts
What functionality should I use for this?
Both damage and amount of time are variable

[gaunt ice]

Timer in update or coroutine

[topaz mortar]

Does this look good?
Would it prevent missed damage because of low fps?

    {
        timeToNextAttack -= Time.deltaTime;
        if (timeToNextAttack <= 0)
        {
            DamageMonster();
            float leftOverTime = timeToNextAttack;
            timeToNextAttack = attackSpeed - leftOverTime;
        }
    }```

[gaunt ice]

Timetonext attack+=attackspeed

Or you can check how many period is passed between frame and deal number of period*damage

[topaz mortar]

ah yeah that makes more sense
would still break when fps is lower than attackspeed though 😦

[gaunt ice]

Then you need to check number of period passed

[solar tide]

Hey, I've been trying to modify the material of a game Object through script.
But due to the face materials of my object being rendered by probuilder, I'm having a hard time changing it

Changing the main body material is working fine, but the face material change, I don't know what to write exactly to affect it(since it's created by probuilder, I don't know any of the probuilder codes)

[gaunt ice]

the error says enemymanager.cs

there is same error in your enemymanager.cs, then correct this script

[inner marsh]

this js came up next

[cunning rapids]

Guys

I need help with ADS

I don't know how to add aiming down sights to my weapons

Do I need some sort of animation?

[gaunt ice]

you dont need constructor for monobehaviour class

you shouldnt do that indeed

[inner marsh]

if i may ask what is that?

[gaunt ice]

class A{
  public A(){
  }
}

public A(){} is constructor of class A

show you script first , i may misunderstand the error

[inner marsh]

{
    public GameObject Wolf;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        int levelCurrent = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("levelCurrent");
        if (levelCurrent == 1)
        {
            Instantiate(Wolf, new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, 0), transform.rotation);
            Instantiate(Wolf, new Vector3(transform.position.x - 15, transform.position.y, 0), transform.rotation);
            Instantiate(Wolf, new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - 15, 0), transform.rotation);

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

[gaunt ice]

i dont see anything wrong in this code...

[inner marsh]

idek whats wrong its called in the correct constructors

and like

should work

[chrome hemlock]

have you tried to restart the unity?

[eternal needle]

did you save the script and is this the exact script you're using without anything cut out?
it also does seem like these errors happened way apart from each other

[inner marsh]

entire script

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

public class EnemyManager : MonoBehaviour

    public GameObject Wolf;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()

    void Update()
    {
        
    }
}```

[inner marsh]

i put the int levelCurrent = blah out of the void start() to see if itd work (dumb ik but im new so js trying)

[inner marsh]

no ill try that next

[inner marsh]

that fixed it

ty

[chrome hemlock]

lol. alright.

sometimes that happened 🙂

and some tips, write 'wolf' in lowercase. if you using 'W', you'll messed up with function in the future. hope this help 🙂

[cunning rapids]

Nevermind I figured it out

So much easier than I expected

[inner marsh]

i changed it to WolfEntity cause it was alr doing sum like that

should hopefully work

[merry nebula]

Any good tutorials to follow for a beginner 2D floating game? I unfortunately am just a newbie so everything is overcomplicated and i have like a week to finish a school project

[modest dust]

YouTube or !learn

[eternal falcon]

🧑‍🏫 Unity Learn can offer you over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience! Make sure to check it out at https://learn.unity.com/

[modest dust]

Anything will do if you only want to finish it

[gaunt ice]

a week for finishing one game is a bit short....

[modest dust]

Depends what kind of game

[merry nebula]

A very beginner-ish float game

[modest dust]

A simple one could be done easily in one day

[modest dust]

What is a float game

[merry nebula]

Imagine making flappy bird within a week with no graphics or animations and just make 3 different levels of it

Tho it shouldn't move like flappy bird

It should use gravity to move and float around the screen

If you don't press any buttons it just falls to the bottom of the screen

[modest dust]

So smooth movement instead of flapping

Just search up a flappy bird tutorial

[merry nebula]

Yeah, like flying part in geomtry dash

[modest dust]

and change the movement

[merry nebula]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a bit of then problem is the fact that I can't program that well, this assignment is a pain cuz i kinda have to force my way with it instead of taking my time learning it

[modest dust]

Yeah, so follow a flappy bird tutorial

If you want a hand-made map then make a background scroller

And look up how to make a smooth fly movement

[merry nebula]

Yeah I will basically need geomtry dash type of game but only the flying part

I assume you did play geomtry dash ._.

[modest dust]

I did

For a few minutes

[merry nebula]

Ahhh

[modest dust]

But I know what you mean

[merry nebula]

A okay

I'll do what I can

[modest dust]

Good luck

[cunning rapids]

Where is the Loop Time box to make the animation play infinitely?

[chrome hemlock]

you can check in animation file and tick "loop time"

[rare basin]

#💻┃unity-talk , this is code related question

[tiny terrace]

is there a way for gpu profiling when testing on mobile?

[lone sable]

So, I want to play a AudioSource on disable. Which obviously creates Can not play a disabled audio source error.

What would be a good solution to this? I could generate a prefab/new game object and play it there, but, I feel like there must be a better solution?

[lone sable]

I would have figured PlayClipAtPoint is what I want, but. Turns out I can't set the spatial blend/curve on it... So there goes that option.

[solid kite]

I'm trying to add a force on a rigidbody perpendicular to current velocity. It doesn't matter what direction it's just to test something

Why isn't this working?

[fossil drum]

Does it even call this piece of code, and can you debug.log the velocity you are adding?

[solid kite]

it does 100%

yeah i'll debug.log it

[quasi birch]

Try Vector3 perpendicularVelocity = new Vector3(-rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y, rb.velocity.z)

Then addforce to that variable?

[solid kite]

I think my approach is completely wrong

i'll try that

@quasi birch it's doing the same thing, just speeding me up

[fossil drum]

You don't AddForce to a variable though? You AddForce to a rigidbody that has a velocity.

[solid kite]

if my current velocity is north, my new one should be east, or west

[fossil drum]

The vector you create is either 0 or something weird.

Oh, you say its speeding you up

[quasi birch]

Just try adding force, transform.right?

[solid kite]

shouldn't be transform though should be the right of my velocity

would it work if i did

[fossil drum]

Transform.right is just a vector pointing right of the transform of length 1, sure you can use that.

[solid kite]

but doesnt that depend on the rotation of my player

[smoky echo]

anyone?

[fossil drum]

Well then I don't understand what you are even trying to do. If you want to slow down your rigidbody you can just add Drag onto it, or create an inverse vector and addforce that vector.

[solid kite]

@fossil drum I want to get vector 2 from vector 1

I got it nevermind, thanks

[tough flint]

Guys I've been having a slight problem with my character movement, it does not adpat to the camera position, so when im pressing W it will go foward and S backwards etc... but if i rotate the camera and look back W will still make me go forward instead of adapting and going back, if anyone could help me I would be thankful, here's the code I used (This is the player movement code).

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
   Rigidbody rb;
   [SerializeField] float movementSpeed = 6f;
   [SerializeField] float jumpForce = 5f;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
       rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
       float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
       float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
       rb.velocity = new Vector3(horizontalInput * movementSpeed, rb.velocity.y, verticalInput * movementSpeed);

       if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
         {
          rb.velocity = new Vector3 (rb.velocity.x , jumpForce, rb.velocity.z);
         }
    
       
      ```

[cosmic dagger]

Your movement doesn't use the camera direction at all . . .

It doesn't know which way its facing or rotation in relation to the player . . .

[tough flint]

Alright thank you, I will try to find a fix for that, just letting you know I have no code experience with Unity or C# ever before I’m trying my hardest here

[tough flint]

You could’ve rephrase that in a more friendly way, the way you’re putting it kinda discourages a beginner to keep going with the … making it seem it was not normal for a beginner to make such mistakes

[wooden minnow]

can someone help me understand how Mathf.Clamp() works

specifically the minvalue and maxvalue parts

[keen dew]

If the number you pass to it is smaller than minvalue, it returns minvalue. If it's bigger than maxvalue, it returns maxvalue. Otherwise it returns the original number.

[wooden minnow]

that part is understood, does it use Vector3.zero or Quaternion.identity when putting like (value, -amount, amount)

[keen dew]

It has nothing to do with vectors or quaternions

[wooden minnow]

ok

[keen dew]

It's a method that takes in 3 parameters

[wooden minnow]

ok

ok so, if i want to clamp my Y value of an object from where its currently is would it be like

i_suck_at_naming_variables = Mathf.Clamp(object.transform.position.y, object.transform.position.y-minvalue, object.transform.position.y+maxvalue)``` ?

[somber wren]

hello guys! i have a 3d spider walking on the terrain. But somehow it goes throught spheres, idk why

[somber wren]

yeah i think

[keen dew]

No

[somber wren]

i mean there, there is no point of clamping

nevermind

[wooden minnow]

then how would i do that

[somber wren]

your value will always be between min and max

what do you want to do ?

[keen dew]

Don't subtract the values from the current position. Just pass in the limits you want

[wooden minnow]

wdym by passing the limits i want

[somber wren]

min and max

[wooden minnow]

wait actually

[somber wren]

just put them as they are

[wooden minnow]

i made a mistake nvm

[keen dew]

^ this

What is the problem you're trying to solve

[wooden minnow]

clamp an object's position or/rotation to a certain value (in this case -30, 30) while considering its Y value

[keen dew]

Then your limits are -30 and 30, just pass those values

[somber wren]

i still dont understand the second part xD

[wooden minnow]

what if my objects current rotation is 0, 60, 0?

wouldnt it clamp it to 0, 30, 0?

[keen dew]

That's what you wanted?

[wooden minnow]

no

so
i want to take an object's rotation value at one specific time(lets just use like 0, 110, 0 for an example) and then clamp it for -30 degrees and 30 degrees on its Y axis while considering its current rotation so itll be clamped between
x, 80/140, x
with x being an unclamped value

[somber wren]

you know what is "clamp" right ?

[wooden minnow]

does it have another meaning besides Mathf.Clamp()?

[keen dew]

Well then you save the values at the specific time you want and use them as min and max later

[somber wren]

clamp means "if im under minvalue, i become equal to minvalue, if im above max, i become equal to max. And if im in between min and max, i stay as i am"

yeah or you wanna use them later ?

[wooden minnow]

ok

[somber wren]

why raycast is going through, help :'(((

[cosmic dagger]

Huh? I just said your code doesn't use the camera since you said it does not adapt to the camera. It has no idea about the camera or what it is since the camera is not in your code. How is that rude or discouraging? I'm telling you what you're missing . . .

[cosmic dagger]

The value you want to clamp will take the lower value if initially lower than the minimum, remain the same if initially within the range, or take the higher value if initially higher than the maximum. That's how clamping works . . .

[solar tide]

Hey, I've been trying to move my instantiated object to hand, I was trying to get script component attached to the instantiated object and fire the method from here but for some reason, it just doesn't work.

You can't trigger a method from a different script or it has something to do with it being an instantiated object?

I can move it raw by changing the transform.position of the object but I can't get the component and use methods from the component I got(although the editor shows that I did get access to the component during runtime)

[languid spire]

post the MoveToHand method code

[languid spire]

ok, so that is not actually doing anything

[solar tide]

what did I do wrong?

[languid spire]

you say to want it to move but there is no movement code in there

[solar tide]

the desired position creates the movement

[languid spire]

how?

[solar tide]

This script is attached to the instantiated object

discord is loading

[languid spire]

but how does desiredPosition affect transform.position?

[dawn sparrow]

every 10 or so times i stop the application i get this screen infinitely

have to force-stop unity and it sometimes causes me to lose progress, i've tried searching up the issue but no dice

[languid spire]

this code is in GenUnit?

[solar tide]

yeah.

[languid spire]

should be fine unless something else is modifying desiredPosition

[polar acorn]

What calls MoveToHand

[solar tide]

oh yeah, the start function in GenUnit says gameobject.transform.position = desiredPosition

But shouldn't the new functions overwrite the old, my card movement on other script is comepletely fine

[languid spire]

which will run after MoveToHand is called

[polar acorn]

I feel like we're missing a lot of key information here. Might be good to post the full scripts instead of single functions

[tawny hearth]

i just launched my project and have all these errors. how fucked am i? 🙂

[swift crag]

Not very.

I've seen this issue several times. For some reason, one of your packages just...refuses to see another one (or itself, in this case)

You can probably just remove the Test Framework package, from the package manager window

[tawny hearth]

it is a dependency from a bunch of crucial packages so i can't remove it sadly

[swift crag]

Have you done a "Reimport All" yet?

alternatively, just deleting the Library folder entirely

that's what I reach for first when this kind of thing happens

[tawny hearth]

i haven't, never had this issue before. where would i go to reimport all?

[swift crag]

right click in the Project window

or open the Assets dropdown in the menu bar

I've a RTS project on Unity and wanna talk about settings and programming configurations.
I Kinda know how to program but need to be sure how to set script and organizing stuffs,
which problems to avoid etc.

[tawny hearth]

reimporting all still gives m the same errors :/

[cosmic dagger]

what do you mean by configuration? as for script organization, you can follow or setup a style guide for yourself: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/identifier-names
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions

[solar tide]

Okay, time to ask you guys about basic math(I successfully solved the previous problem.)

How do you increase a value by 1 everytime this method gets run?

I can't believe it is so hard to write such a simple concept

Originally it was CardsinHand += 1 but that only gets read once and sets it to 1 and doesn't go higher

[rotund bronze]

make sure it gets call everytime you want

try debug.log it to see it get call at the right time

[solar tide]

yeah, I am doing that.
I don't know how to do the math part

I'm pretty sure the math is wrong otherwise it should just increase

[rotund bronze]

cardsinhand+=1; shoud do fine not sure whats wrong with that

[gloomy timber]

thanks for the reply RandomDiscordInvader(), for configuration I mean how can I manage all the game's scripts in order to have an efficient flow? databases, in game function, editor etc.
how can I handle all the different scripts?it's bettere only few script compacted or multiple, one per category( such as unity data, buildings data, unity behavior, etc?)
thanks for the response.

[swift sedge]

you can also do this instead:

if (!IsinHand)
{
  ...
}

just a personal preference though, but it does lower the amount of code you are writing

[buoyant knot]

CardsInHand += 1 should work. It’s also equivalent to CardsInHand++. If the CardsInHand doesn’t keep going up, then that means either: 1) the ++ isn’t actually getting called, or 2) something else is setting it back down

[polar acorn]

That will add 1 to CardsInHand. If that's what you want to do, that's how you do it

[buoyant knot]

the whole PreviousInHand is unnecessary imo

[polar acorn]

Or 3) You're incrementing a different CardsInHand every time

[cosmic dagger]

oh, that depends on how to design or build the game. there is n one solution for number of scripts. it solely depends on what you add to your game, like how you build/architect your units, and what type of systems you create

if you haven't built anything yet, i suggest looking at tutorials since an RTS is a huge undertaking. programming is iterative; your first solution will not be your last or final implementation of that specific feature . . .

[buoyant knot]

i would select cardsinhand and ctrl+R/cmd+R to find all the references to it

to see if something else is changing it

specifically, on the setter

i also think giving CardsInHand a setter is unnecessary

I assume this script is in a card’s class or something?

there should be a hand which has something like a List<Card> hand; and then you just do hand.Add(this card);

and if you want the hand size, use hand.Count

[wintry quarry]

It is not hard. += 1 is correct.

[solar tide]

I got it

It's because I put CardsinHand inside my General Unit script.
Every Unit has it's own Cards in Hand and that's why it wasn't increasing

thx for the tips guys

[wintry quarry]

so it was increasing, you just were looking at Y after increasing X and wondering why Y hadn't increased

[buoyant knot]

what I’m getting at is; each unit probably needs to know which cards it has in its hand

so you need a list of cards tied to each unit, and you can call .Count on that list to know how many cards are in that unit’s hand

[cunning rapids]

Why is this error showing up even if everything looks correct?

[swift crag]

Those are states in the first screenshot.

Those are not parameters.

[frosty hound]

Of all those screenshots, you failed to show your trigger

[swift crag]

Parameters appear in the "Parameters" list.

These four rectangles are animator states. You can directly enter an animator state with Animator.Play, if you'd like.

Animator.SetTrigger is used to set a trigger parameter.

Parameters are used to control transitions and blend trees.

[cunning rapids]

Ah understood

How do I modify my script to access the animator state?

[cunning rapids]

Parameter list is empty

[swift crag]

you don't need to 'access the animator state' here. If you just want to switch to a specific state on command, use Play("theStateName")

[polar acorn]

So then that'd be why it says the parameter you're looking for doesn't exist

Because it doesn't

[shadow flame]

what the normal fov for a camera

[swift crag]

Directly playing states is perfectly reasonable, although it does mean you're doing everything manually.

[cunning rapids]

I mixed up between animation state and parameters, my apologies

[swift crag]

I consider 90 to be a pretty safe default. Note that this is a horizontal FOV, and Unity uses a vertical FOV by default.

[shadow flame]

thanks

[swift crag]

unity's default appears to be a vertical FOV of 60, which is around...90 horizontal, at least in my setup

I am not familiar with why you'd use vertical over horizontal.

[shadow flame]

some thing is wrong with it

1 sec

[swift crag]

explain your problem, then

[shadow flame]

why is it like this

[cunning rapids]

How is it any more manual than playing it using a trigger?

[swift crag]

this is not a code problem. you should ask this in #💻┃unity-talk

[shadow flame]

mb

[swift crag]

A trigger parameter does not directly set the state.

[polar acorn]

like what

[cunning rapids]

I'm sorry I just don't understand animation much

[swift crag]

Transitions can look at parameters to decide if they can be taken.

For example, you can have four animator states in a row. The first state can have a transition to the second state that depends on a trigger.

The other two transitions can be unconditional.

Setting the trigger would play states 2, 3, and 4 in sequence.

So, for example, you might set a trigger to make the weapon reload animation play

When it finishes, you can automatically transition back to the idle animation.

That way, you don't have to manually play both the reload and the idle state.

[cunning rapids]

Interesting

Thank you for this insight

[cyan wigeon]

Having bit of an issue setting up Analytics for Unity:
My code contains:
using UnityEngine.Analytics;
And I tried to call even like so:
AnalyticsResult result = Analytics.CustomEvent("Skin Purchased" + skinToPurchase.name + " : " +skinToPurchase.characterId);
Debug.Log("Analytic result: " + result);
Yet I get this response:

Is there some setup thats incorrect ?

[cunning rapids]

why isn't the animation playing consistently?

I implemented that

Sometimes the animation plays, sometimes it doesn't

This is the reload coroutine

[cyan wigeon]

when u inspect animator widget what happens when bug occurs ?

theres usually some other state that blocks it from working properly or gets straight away overriden by a different state

[cunning rapids]

How do i do that

[cyan wigeon]

Press play in Unity Editor. Select the object that has animations while in play. Open this up:

ideally have animator on 1 screen and game on another

and play it but keep an eye on what happens

in animator

that will let u troubleshoot if the transitions flow as u expect them to and what is currently being executed

[cunning rapids]

Ah I see

Absolutely brilliant

It seems that the problem is that the animation stays at the end of its playing time

I'll screen record this

[shadow flame]

why wont .FindGameObjectWithTag come up?

[cunning rapids]

Here

[cyan wigeon]

your compiler isnt picking up unity ? 😄

do other auto completes that are unity specific work ?

[cyan wigeon]

I am not rly animation expert, but for starters have animation exit

[shadow flame]

yes

[verbal dome]

It is a static method too so not sure if it should show up there

[wintry quarry]

GameObject not gameObject

[livid nova]

Unity is crashing when I try to call a scene
I'm pulling data from a JSON file based on the previous save.
Any help appreciated

[shadow flame]

im so dumb

thanks

[wintry quarry]

What does "call a scene" mean?

[cunning rapids]

It does seem like the reloading is working since when the animation doesn't play you can't spam

It's just that the animation is stuck at the end of its play

unless another animation takes over

[livid nova]

*Load a scene
Trying to use LoadSceneMode.Single
In the crashing version, the loadscenemode.sing isn't commented out

[cyan wigeon]

because you dont have exit applied

[cunning rapids]

How do I do that? I'm sorry I'm really new to 3D animation

[cyan wigeon]

either attach it to this

or to some empty state

depends what you aim to do exactly

[cunning rapids]

Like this?

Added a transition

[wintry quarry]

What do the crash logs say?

[cyan wigeon]

ye that will return u back to idle once those animations stop playing

alternatively u can point them to "exit"

as once exit concludes

it goes back to "entry"

either way should work fine I think

empty state with no return is usually for stuff like death animation

because u dont want nothing else to happen once it triggers(well that depends on a game I guess)

[livid nova]

I'm not getting one. It's more of a soft lock where the whole system freezes when I hit play; nothing is responsive, so no error messages.

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like you have an infinite loop in your code

In some script in the new scene

[cunning rapids]

Thanks mate

Works perfectly

[cyan wigeon]

no problem

[livid nova]

Thank you, I'll take a look

[winged ember]

how can I initialize an array of objects using the default constructor?

[wintry quarry]

write a for loop

[winged ember]

oh no...

thats a long for loo[

[wintry quarry]

it's a super short loop

But let me ask you a different question. Why are you using a class instead of a struct here?

[winged ember]

it's 32768 itterations

[wintry quarry]

indeed

[wintry quarry]

^

[winged ember]

idk

[timber tide]

classes are cool

[wintry quarry]

if you use a struct you don't need to do anything other than the second screenshot

[winged ember]

is there a reason not to?

[wintry quarry]

A class will use a bit more memory here too

and need to be garbage collected later

[cunning rapids]

Guys

How do I make my pistol game object play its animation for sprinting when the only sprinting check is done on the PlayerMovement script?

Which is obviously attached to the player, not the pistol

[winged ember]

converted to struct, got this error

[obtuse oar]

i keep getting this when trying to add my script to an object in the game, I have modified and saved the script and the class name does match the file name, is there something i'm missing?

[polar acorn]

Make sure that there are no compile errors and that the file name and class name match

[cunning rapids]

Is the class name of the script the same as the script name?

[fossil drum]

Is Button even allowed? Wouldn't that give a conflict with Unity's Button

[polar acorn]

Do you have any compile errors

[cunning rapids]

These need to match

[polar acorn]

Show a screenshot of your console

[cunning rapids]

^

[obtuse oar]

i dont think so? it'd show as an ide error if that were the case

[cunning rapids]

Show us the Unity console instead

[obtuse oar]

oh the errors were hidden for some reason, this is the error: "Assets\Scripts\Selection_Settings.cs(18,29): error CS1061: 'Button' does not contain a definition for 'interactable' and no accessible extension method 'interactable' accepting a first argument of type 'Button' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

[polar acorn]

That would be because your Button class has nothing named interactable on it

[obtuse oar]

why do i need that? i just want a simple script to be a button, all it does rn is just print to the console

[short hazel]

You named your own class Button, so it's picking up that one instead of Unity's Button

[obtuse oar]

oh, well that's annoying

[polar acorn]

Well, Selection_Settings is attempting to use a property interactable. Since you've made your own Button class if you want it to work with that you need to implement all the stuff Button normally does

[obtuse oar]

my b lol

[ionic pike]

yo guys does anyone how can i make my itens stack when i pick em up to the inventory?

[rich adder]

make a List

or Stack/Queue

[ionic pike]

i mean they do stack but i still figuring out a way for them to stack when entering the inventory

when i pick them up

[swift crag]

you'll have to check if the inventory contains a compatible object

[short hazel]

Loop through all the slots, if the item in the slot is the same as the one that is about to be added, add it

[swift crag]

you may have to do this repeatedly if you pick up a big stack

[short hazel]

^ + discard items if inventory is full

[swift crag]

Note that this is going to have nothing to do with the hierarchy. There's no magic button to make the icons "stack" together or something.

[ionic pike]

ok i already know what too do

this shit is gonna take a long ass time to make

[short hazel]

For each item stack in the inventory
If the item is compatible, and the slot is not full
Add the most possible items to the slot
End
Loop
Drop the remaining items if any, the inventory couldn't hold more
That's how the loop should look like

[ionic pike]

oh

i get it

thx

good help

[hollow zenith]

How do I make an object move along the Edge Collider 2D without slowing down?

        rigidBody2D.velocity = new Vector2(1f, 0f);

This will make it float to the right
I have the player object + collider with a slippery material(0 drag)
Player object has 1 gravity scale and 0 drag.

[rich adder]

raycast down maybe and rotate your forward based on normal?

haven't done too much 2D so take it with grain of salt

[zealous oxide]

hey friends. i've got a melee character controller that has its recoil settings influenced by a child "combat entity". character controller is responsible for movement & stats etc, whilst the combat entity handles attack functions. https://hastebin.com/share/ovarozebuz.csharp heres the player script. https://hastebin.com/share/ucuhenawub.csharp heres the combat entity. i've got 2 issues atm. if my character attacks down, it recoils up regardless if it actually hit an enemy. i'm struggling to understand how i can get the combat entity script to properly tell the player controller script if it should be recoiling on the x or y axis when an enemy is hit. the other issue is that if the player hits an enemy to its left or right, i'd expect a respective recoil in the opposite direction on the player, but it doesnt do anything, actually, regardless of the force I apply

[hollow zenith]

I need a simpler 2d solution 😄

is there something like "forward" in 2d?

[rich adder]

right/up

depending which way sprite faces / orientation of your game (topdown vs sideview)

[hollow zenith]

yeah I want the sprite to always be touching the edge with the bottom/legs

[rich adder]

doesn't brackys have something like this with that line rider game?

maybe its the same process

[manic ether]

Following a tutorial for the new input system, this zoom control is acting weird. Each click of the mousewheel sends it to max or min, continuous scrolling makes it kinda jitter in place. Sometimes one direction will stop working entirely until you scroll the other direction first... Tutorial said to normalize the vector 2 in processors to stop it jumping to max/min, but that didn't help.

    {
        if (context.phase != InputActionPhase.Performed)
        {
            return;
        }
        // Adjust the current zoom value based on the direction of the scroll - this is clamped to our zoom min/max. 
        CurrentZoom = Mathf.Clamp(_currentZoomAmount - context.ReadValue<Vector2>().y, ZoomMax, ZoomMin);
    }```
And in late update:  
```  _actualCamera.transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(_actualCamera.transform.localPosition, 
        _cameraPositionTarget, Time.deltaTime * _internalZoomSpeed);```

why no work

[short hazel]

We need at least the error message.

[glossy eagle]

Hi. One question, is there something like transform.TransformPoint but without taking into account the transform Z rotation please? like as if it was in a 2D plane kinda

[languid spire]

you dont have a variable rb decalred or it is the wrong type

[hollow zenith]

you either dont have rb defined in the script or its different type from platformRb

[shadow flame]

'

[short hazel]

You cannot put a Rigidbody into a Rigidbody2D

As you're in a 2D project, .platformRb should probably be a Rigidbody2D.

Same for rb

The types must match, here they don't. You're trying to put a square into a round hole

[shadow flame]

thanks

i forgot to put in 2d at the end

[obtuse oar]

how can i grab the child of an object? google says to use the getchild method but i'm not seeing that as an option

[short hazel]

This method only exists on Transform, so if you have a GameObject variable, you need to do variable.transform.GetChild(n)

[obtuse oar]

ohhh

does the object returned equal the whole child object or just the child's transform?

i kinda just answered my own question when trying to use it, how can i get the whole child

[zenith cypress]

The transform, but you can get the object with .gameObject

[obtuse oar]

not just the transform

[short hazel]

Intellisense will tell you that as you type the method name

[obtuse oar]

and now how do i grab the TMP text component off that with getcomponent? i just dont know the type i am supposed to use

[short hazel]

TMP_Text

[swift crag]

TMP_Text covers both TextMeshPro and TextMeshProUGUI. It's the ideal choice.

You don't really care whether or not this is UI text, and it's easier to type, too.

[obtuse oar]

i tried that already but got this:

oh the T isnt capital lol

same issue

[short hazel]

Let your code editor fix it for you, click the light bulb icon

It will give you suggestions

[obtuse oar]

oh wth, i have never seen a structure like that before, the type is TMPro.TMP_Text

TMP is actually the weirdest thing

[short hazel]

That, or using TMPro; at the top

[swift sedge]

you've never seen a structure like that?

its literally what classes and namespaces are

[short hazel]

Which should be the first suggestion in the list

[swift sedge]

like "System.Serializable"

[obtuse oar]

never seen a type structure like that before, this is because i was missing the proper include, i know how classes work

[swift sedge]

the actual thing is "Serializable" and "System" is the namespace

[short hazel]

Using a directive

using TMPro;
// ...
private TMP_Text _text;

Fully qualifying the name

private TMPro.TMP_Text _text;

Both are valid, but the first one is better to use in the case you need to use stuff from TMPro multiple times

[obtuse oar]

yeah, just never knew you could literally do the whole TMPro.TMP_Text thing

what's the reasoning for the underscore in front of ur variable? i've seen it a lot in more professional examples of coding but never really understood it

same with like m_

[short hazel]

It's a convention so you don't mix them up with local variable you declare inside methods

The m_ is a residue from C++ and isn't official for C#, but Unity still uses it

[obtuse oar]

oh so does the underscore denote that it's a class viarable

[short hazel]

Correct

[obtuse oar]

gotcha, the more ya know

[swift sedge]

like s_ is for static

[obtuse oar]

i would like to duplicate this object onto others now but when i do so it does not move the rect transform at all meaning they all display at the same location as the first and not respective to their parent object, is there a simple way to do this in the script?

i figured it out, improper pasting on my end

[obtuse oar]

would (int) Mathf.Floor(Random.Range(0, 9)); be the best way to get a random int from 0 to 9 inclusively with even odds for all values?

or would implicit int casting already cover the floor bit

[polar acorn]

Int random is max exclusive

[obtuse oar]

oh okay

[polar acorn]

And casting to int will truncate decimals, it just ignores them. This is slightly different from a floor in that positive numbers are floored, negative numbers are ceiling'd

[obtuse oar]

so i should revise this to just Random.Range(0, 10); if i am setting an int equal to this?

[river roost]

(there's also Mathf.FloorToInt which removes the need to cast to int at the end)

[obtuse oar]

interesting

[obtuse oar]

across 3 boxes, each with 5 separate numbers I want to only have one similar number between the 3, the others are all random. The first pic is an example of how it is breaking right now, both 6 and 1 are present in all 3 boxes when the "correct number" is supposed to just be 6. The second pic is an example of what I mean with the number similar between them being 1. is there a simple way to do this that I am overlooking that is not looping over all the number to see what can/can not be put there?

[violet topaz]

if you are their can you help me again?

[polar acorn]

Well, if you're just randomly filling the other numbers, this is something that can be randomly rolled. What you might consider doing is have a list of two of each number that isn't your "target" number, shuffle the list, and pick the first 12 elements from that to make the other numbers

that way you can never have three of a kind, and it's not always the third box that's "missing" a number

[violet topaz]

And to answer you question i spawn the player in the character select scene and the i use DDOL and move it to the game scene.

[tight zenith]

Hi I need to make the SDK read-only:

[timber tide]

You can start by not posting in every channel, thanks

[tight zenith]

Very helpful!

I posted in 2 channels, in actuality

[swift crag]

which is more than one, which is cross-posting.

[languid spire]

3 actually, which I have seen

[short hazel]

Still one too many

[swift crag]

I would suggest moving this to #📱┃mobile , since you are having a problem with building for Android.
