its weird it retunrs null still

violet topaz
#

@rich adder ok im back and it work but it only shoots up

#

what worked

#

how would I check if this returns an object of type Item instead of just checking if it's not null?
if (_head.GetComponentInChildren<Item>() != null)

#

another thing to note is that being able to just yield an IEnumerator method call instead of being required to use StartCoroutine to wait for a nested coroutine to complete wasn't always possible

# 
void Shoot()
    {
        GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);
        Rigidbody2D rb = bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        firePoint.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, Random.Range(-10f, 10f));
        rb.AddForce(firePoint.up * bulletForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);


    }``` i changed ```cs
GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, Quaternion.identity);``` to ```cs
GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);```  and ```cs
firePoint.transform.rotation *=``` to ```cs
firePoint.transform.rotation =```

I never used IEnumerator outside unity context tbh

pretty neat, I'm gonna look into it just curious 😅

im trying right now ur Idea, but what do i do for mp3?
he tells me
UnityWebRequestMultimedia.GetAudioClip(path, AudioType.mp3)
does not work
because
'AudioType' does not contain a definition for 'mp3'

spelling matters

#

your IDE is not configured is it..

#

you would see entire enum list when you do .

Hey guys, im trying to get a mesh to correctly align with the player when aiming down sights, however when I walk away from the origin the rotation gets really messed up. can one of you guys take a look at my code and see what i'm doing wrong? (ill send the code as a seperate message if i can, its quite long and above the limit)

and here is a short video to demonstrate the issue:

#

here is the code:

private void LateUpdate()
    {   
        var mouse_pos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        mouse_pos.z = 0f; 

        print(mouse_pos);

        startingAngle = Mathf.Atan2(mouse_pos.y - transform.position.y, mouse_pos.x - transform.position.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

        print(startingAngle);
        int rayCount = 600;
        float angleIncrease = fov / rayCount;
        float angle = startingAngle + (fov/2);

        Vector3[] vertices = new Vector3[rayCount + 1 + 1];
        Vector2[] uv = new Vector2[vertices.Length];
        int[] triangles = new int[rayCount * 3];

        vertices[0] = origin;

        int vertexIndex = 1;
        int triangleIndex = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i <= rayCount; i++)
        {
            Vector3 vertex;
            RaycastHit2D raycastHit2D = Physics2D.Raycast(origin, GetVectorFromAngle(angle), viewDistance, layerMask);

            if (raycastHit2D.collider == null) {
                // no hit
                vertex = origin + GetVectorFromAngle(angle) * viewDistance;
            } else {
                //hit Object
                vertex = raycastHit2D.point;
            }

            vertices[vertexIndex] = vertex;

            if (i > 0)
            {
            triangles[triangleIndex + 0] = 0;
            triangles[triangleIndex + 1] = vertexIndex - 1;
            triangles[triangleIndex + 2] = vertexIndex;

            triangleIndex += 3;
            }

            vertexIndex++;

            angle -= angleIncrease;
        }

        mesh.vertices = vertices;
        mesh.uv = uv;
        mesh.triangles = triangles;
        mesh.bounds = new Bounds(origin, Vector3.one * 1000f);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse1))
        {
            fov = 60;
        }
        else
        {
            fov = defaultFov;
        }
    }
rich adder
#

but also you can just cast the bullet as a rigidbody2D

Rigidbody2D bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);

#

and skip the GetComponent

@rich adder Hey Honey, your Idea worked, at least in the Editor yet, get a digital Hug
:-]
ill try now on windows and mac, if that works aswell, imagine 2 more ;)

rich adder
#

just make sure you're using the correct paths lol

violet topaz
#

@rich adder i get this error Error CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'UnityEngine.Rigidbody2D' on cs Rigidbody2D bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);

summer stump
rich adder
#

yeah this sry

#

forgot to mention that

#

😅

#

might need to drag the prefab back inside the slot after

#

or unity gives a Mismatch

@rich adder

what do you mean

ashen ferry

and which folder location are you using

tulip tapir
rich adder
# violet topaz yep

var rot = firePoint.transform.eulerAngles; rot.z += Random.Range(-10f, 10f); firePoint.transform.eulerAngles = rot; i think

rich adder
#

you should be using Application.persistentDataPath

#

forget about the whole Resource thing too tbh

Am I doing this correctly?

rich adder
tender stag
#

so that i'll be able to use item.durability for example

#

item being this

tulip tapir
#

so i tried this
persistentDataPath
but then i get an error with the www thing

tulip tapir
timber tide
tender stag
#

yeah

violet topaz
#

@rich adder i have to go but it goes in the right direction but doesnt start in the right angles

slender nymph
rich adder
tender stag
#

not just weapon

timber tide
#

Maybe consider interfaces

#

and check if it has an interface of durability

ashen ferry
#

he can cast

#

into WeaponItem

tender stag
#

but its going to be a lot more

timber tide
#

yeah but if he has a lot of different items of durability

tender stag
#

like 10

timber tide
#

weapon casting would fail on everything else

tender stag
#

im not gonna cast and check like 10 things

ashen ferry
#

oh yea like equipment items etc

tender stag
#

thats pointless

ashen ferry
#

mb

tender stag
#

consumable items

#

also

tulip tapir
tender stag
#

or should i just put the durability into item?

ashen ferry
#

then you could make Ibreakable interface and if item implements it that means it has durability

tender stag
#

and save myself a lot of time

rich adder
ashen ferry
#

idk tbh this class hierarchy thing is hard asf for myself but I got burned putting too much stuff into base class once XD

tender stag
#

Mao what do you think

#

would it just be best at this point to just put it into Item?

timber tide
#

Well, that means everything has durability then

tender stag
#

but then i can check like i did before

timber tide
#

True

tender stag
#

if the maxDurability is above 0

#

that means its using durability

rich adder
#

much more modular

queen adder
ashen ferry
#

yea but so much more code

#

thats not the problem now in hindsight

#

but was main reason why I didnt like them bruh

rich adder
#

much more code happens when your code is not split into single responsibility

#

usually

tender stag
#

combination between both is best for me

tulip tapir
rich adder
queen adder
#

Adding, removing curre by completing certain tasks in the future

rich adder
queen adder
#

Okay thanks thats why i asked cus i wasnt sure what should be called first, etc

rich adder
#

this way as long as that sevice is started, any other service like Economy will work fine

#

or if you need to login a user

queen adder
#

if i started it in another script before this scene do i need to do it again?

rich adder
#

but im not 100% on that

#

I can test it later or you can try it or sum

queen adder
#

yea il look

rich adder
#

it will work but not well

#

it will just spawn bullet as child of pTrans

#

no specific position / rotation . just where pTrans is , as its child

wintry quarry
#

if there is no log, the code is not running

#

it's not runniung

#

or the log would print

#

(I mean the code inside the if statement)

#

you are missing cs gamepadRight.action.Enable();

#

need to do that in Awake or Start or something

tulip tapir
wintry quarry
tulip tapir
wintry quarry
#

as said before, you made the bulklet a child of pTrans. so... it's acting like a child

queen adder
#

Is there a method for Unity.Services.Authentication; that u can use to sign out

wintry quarry

depends on how you sign them in

how do I make the animation not start from the beginning of the scene?

i made the interface

rich adder

#

why are you doing angle * (Mathf.PI/180f);

#

if you want to convert to radians just do float angleRad = Mathf.Deg2Rad * angle;

tender stag
gray arrow
rich adder
wintry quarry

like this?

timber tide

but also just use Mathf.Rad2Deg

the fucntion is definitely wrong

tender stag
#

and do this?

wintry quarry

pretty sure you copied it wrong @gray arrow

#

trying to compile my game, wont compile says its importing

#

when its not

tried restarting

nowt

gray arrow

#

then you probably also have another issue elsewhere

queen adder
wintry quarry
#

using an incorrect conversion isn't going to make things work well

queen adder
rich adder
#

unless its anonymous

tender stag
# timber tide Yep

then i can do something like this?cs if(selectedCell.item && (selectedCell.item as IDurable).Durability > 0)

alright

tender stag

@rich adder sorry to ping u but i wanna make sure i got this correct

I don't trust you because you started out with a wrong conversion from degrees to radians

I think you can just inline it there and get a reference? I forget

you can make this a little cleaner:

wintry quarry
tender stag
#

i can also now use interfaces for other specific item stats

#

if im going to have any

tender stag
tulip tapir
wintry quarry
#

since UnityWebRequest expects a URI

timber tide
#

You still have to check the null though, no? Or will that not throw an error

tender stag
#

i thought it would

tulip tapir
tender stag
#

it doesnt

tender stag
swift crag
#

(possibly user-provided, hence being in StreamingAssets)

wintry quarry
#

Yeah I got that part

#

although StreamingAssets isn't really the place for user provided files

#

it's the place for verbatim files from the project itself

swift crag
#

i guess there's no reason for them to be in that folder in particular

#

since they just need to exist, somewhere

#

i hadn't actually thought about the point of that directory before

rich adder
#

I did suggest earlier, at that point just use WebRequest + Application.persistentDatapath

#

dont think streamingasset is needed

#

chances are you're not passing the firepoint as spawn location @queen adder

#

hmm somehow they move as if they were parented to object

hard to say without seeing script

what does bullet scrit look like

@rich adder I will be back in 20 minutes

rich adder
#

with what ?

#

I thought u were sending bullet script

#

so bullet has no script

#

why do you have gravity in a topdown

#

set the Gravity scale to 0

#

it could if it hits colliders.

#

its an active physics object

#

ofc its gonna move

#

try without it or set it to kinematic

#

also your in Center pivot mode

#

not probably what you want to set up correct pivots

#

thi should be on Pivot / Local

#

it migt not even be spawning from where u think its spawning

#

yes

#

now make sure spawn points are where they need to be with correct rotations too

#

uh this wasnt a fix

#

which gameobject has BulletSpawn

#

screenshot it

#

with pivot selected

guys im trying to access the parent´s rigidbody of my object but this doesnt works,heres the code ```if (col.CompareTag("Toilet"))
{
Vector3 direction = col.GetComponentInParent<Rigidbody>().position - transform.position;
var m = col.GetComponentInParent<Rigidbody>();

            float distance = direction.magnitude;
            float forceFactor = 1f - (distance / explosionRadius);
            float appliedForce = explosionForce * forceFactor;
            m.AddForce(direction.normalized * appliedForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
            var v = col.gameObject.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>();
            v.isInFire = true;
        }```
rich adder
#

its not

#

show me with pivot selected

#

the MoveTool shows the pivot

#

select the movetool first

when I create item system using classes, where and how do I save a list of all possible items? do I have to create a c# script with a list of all items and its settings?

ok the rotation at least is fdup , not sure why the position is wrong still though

#

thats cause you use Quaternion.identity

oh and the problem is that fire point is going all over and not resetting

Hi there! Does any one could help with a FPS that can move just with key forward and backyard and rotation left right (I have the code for the movement) with the collision? It's been 1 week I am trying to ads collision to my player.

rich adder
#

youd have to do some sort of timer / coroutine to snap back to original @violet topaz

#

it would be too instant without some smoothing but still doable

@rich adder could i do if the firepoints rotation is > 10 and it resets back to zero

you need to store the rotation before applying the Random offset @violet topaz

#

then apply it back

but anyway
i can still copy that class variable into a new one created with new() and i should be fine, right?

rich adder
compact dirge
# rich adder what is it you need to do this for?

so, when i do an attack in my game, i collect some info into a class called AttackData.
The Attack is a class (stored into a variable of enemy or player class) that contain some info, and i must pass an Attack into the method CollectAttackData. In this method, the Attack itself will be added to the AttackData infos as a variable.
The problem is that, later, i must manage and change some values of the Attack into the AttackData. But i don't want to change the value into the original Attack variable, that is still into a player/enemy

Hey, can someone help me with why my overlapsphere is getting every collider but my Player? im setting an array of colliders to the overlapsphere and then foreach collider in the array i debug the name but it never gets my player no matter how big the radius

rich adder
#

or wouldn't attack just hold a struct for its data

rich adder
compact dirge
rich adder
open vine
compact dirge
rich adder
#

just store the struct of data

compact dirge
#

but i can't do a struct cause Attack is a class with some child class

#

and i need to pass the entire attack at the attackdata

rich adder
compact dirge
#

i mean maybe i can create a struct into attack and just trhow all the infos of the attack into it..?

compact dirge
#

and afaik struct can't have something like child class

compact dirge
rich adder
# compact dirge maybe thats's what do you mean? 
public class Attack : MonoBehaviour
{
    public AttackData attackData;
}
[Serializable]
public struct AttackData
{
    public int Data1;
    public string Data2;
    public float Data3;
}``` 

Only need to store AttackData no ?
# 
 [SerializeField] private List<AttackData> attackData;
    [SerializeField] private List<Attack> attacks;
    private void Awake() => attacks.AddRange(FindObjectsOfType<Attack>());
    private IEnumerator Start()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
        foreach (Attack attack in attacks)
        {
            attackData.Add(attack.attackData);
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < attackData.Count; i++)
        {
            var ada = attackData[i];
            ada.Data2 = "Hellooooooooo";
           attackData[i] = ada;

I don't know what I did wrong here. There are console errors:

Assets\SceneManager.cs(10,22): error CS0117: 'SceneManager' does not contain a definition for 'LoadScene'

Assets\Scenes.cs(10,22): error CS0117: 'SceneManager' does not contain a definition for 'LoadScene'

I looked through it on the forums they said to not have the public class set to SceneManager, however I changed it to Scenes along with the script name but it still does not work.

wintry quarry

Which is apparent from:

Assets\SceneManager.cs(10,22): error CS0117: 'SceneManager' does not contain a definition for 'LoadScene'

rich adder
#

ah rip

wintry quarry
#

it's trying to use YOUR class instead of Unity's

rich adder
#

didnt even notice script name lmfao

wintry quarry
#

you can fix this by doing UnityEngine.SceneManagement.LoadScene - or by renaming your class, or with a using SceneManager = UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager;

idle palm

the old one still exists

hence that first error

you shouldn't have to worry about it tbh just call your script something else lmao

Yeah, never name a class the same thing as a built in class unless you REALLY know what you're doing and know your way around namespaces. And even then, probably don't

how do you get the height of a mesh at a certain point

I have tried, i might have done it wrong so how would you do it

rich adder
unreal imp
# polar acorn What "doesn't works"

Sorry for responding late, I'm doing that if my object is close to an explosion it moves a little but the thing that doesn't work is because the collider is in the child object (the object is already selected) and the rigid body in the parent

slender path
wintry quarry
rich adder
#

are you getting error

slender path
#

it won't get the point, it just gets the mesh position

summer stump
#

Have you tried just raycasting down and getting the position of the raycastHit?

wintry quarry
#

Note this is Collider.Raycast, not Physics.Raycast

rich adder
#

wowz colliders can raycast

#

TIL

summer stump
#

Wait wtf! That is awesome!

#

I wish I knew about that sooner

slender path
#

I have tried regular raycasting and it returns a distance of zero
I have not gotten collider.Raycast to work
i have tried physics.raycast as well

summer stump
#

Why get distance? You want the point

#

And you tell it the distance to go

slender path
#

that did not work either

rich adder
#

should also do Gizmos.DrawSphere(closestPoint, 0.1f);

wintry quarry
#

is the sphere inside the mesh?

summer stump
wintry quarry
#

is it above the mesh?

#

What exactly is going on here

slender path
#

it is above the mesh

#

should it be below

wintry quarry
#

What kind of mesh is it

#

is it a plane?

#

some complex shape?

slender path
#

meshObject = new GameObject("Terrain Chunk(" + regionX + ", " + regionY + ")");

wintry quarry
#

that tells me nothing about the mesh

#

that's just a GameObject

#

an empty one at that

acoustic arch
#

for a simple 2D top down game, should i use transform.Translate, rb.MovePosition er whats best

rich adder
wintry quarry
#

neither of those will give accurate collisions

#

If you want proper collision handling you must move via modifying Rigidbody velocity or by adding forces (which modifies rigidbody velocity)

acoustic arch
#

as long as the collisions are ok its fine

wintry quarry
acoustic arch
#

this game is more of an animation learning process

acoustic arch
wintry quarry
#

depends what you mean by "accurate"

#

lots of games don't require physics at all. For example grid based games

rich adder
wintry quarry
#

yes it can but kinematic aren't affected by collisions with anything

rich adder
#

oh yeah it probably does ray/physics casts for collisions

solid cove
#

see above, i'm following a tutorial for 2d movemen, but for some reason my character always gets triggered by a collision i cant discover.

as you see in the video the layers are correctly placed, and character movement is smooth, except for some certain spots where it gets stuck

does anyone know how to fix this

I even tried this simplified version but it still wont spawn in diff places.

Note: i used a sprite (which is a long rectangle) as the road, assuming that the objects spawn along that road

That certainly helps my mood rn I spent way too much time trying to figure this out before coming here..

topaz mortar
#

won't be the last time 😉

#

What is the proper syntax for this? Item is a Script
if (_head.GetComponentInChildren<Item>().GetType() != Item)

#

Or can I just check if it's not null since it should always be of type Item anyway?

strong wren
#

You don't need to get the type if you are just trying to figure out whether the 2 item instances are the same instance

#

What is the goal here?

#

Attaching IDs to Item and comparing those can be used to differentiate between different items that are represented by the same Item type.

normal yoke
#

okay im making another attempt at opening at different model package (its actually the model) and it still wont come up

#

Ok, thx guys 👍

topaz mortar
#

tutorials are great for getting familiar with unity and learning what's possible
but they're terrible for actually getting better at building your own games

hybrid karma
#

why might i get an out of range exception when i call any index in an array?

slender nymph
#

the array is smaller than the index you are providing

hybrid karma
#

it has 2 values, i call 0 and 1

slender nymph
#

show the code

hybrid karma
# 
public void SetWindowMode(int mod)
    {
        if (mod == 0) Screen.SetResolution(res[0], res[1], FullScreenMode.ExclusiveFullScreen);
        if (mod == 1) Screen.SetResolution(res[0], res[1], FullScreenMode.Windowed);
        else Screen.SetResolution(res[0], res[1], FullScreenMode.FullScreenWindow);

        mode = mod;
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("WindowMode", mod);
    }
    public void SetResolution(int reso)
    {
        if (reso == 0) res = new int[2] { 848, 480 };
        if (reso == 0) res = new int[2] { 1280, 720 };
        if (reso == 0) res = new int[2] { 1920, 1080 };
        if (reso == 0) res = new int[2] { 2650, 1440 };
        else res = new int[2] { 3840, 2160 };

        resolution = reso;
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Resolution", reso);

        SetWindowMode(mode);
    }```
#

god damnit

#

nevermind

#

i called setwindowmode before set resolution

slender nymph
#

yeah that'll do it. also what's up with the 4 identical conditions? you do know if that condition is true only the last one will matter. and you're allocating 4 arrays for it but then only using the last one

hybrid karma
#

i realised that also

hybrid karma
#

now im getting an out of range error with a dropdown menu when i try set its value to 4, it has 5 options so i dont get it

topaz mortar
hybrid karma
# 
volume = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("Volume");
        mode = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("WindowMode");
        resolution = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Resolution");
        Debug.Log("v " + volume);
        Debug.Log("m " + mode);
        Debug.Log("r " + resolution);
        modDD.GetComponent<TMP_Dropdown>().value = mode;
        resDD.GetComponent<TMP_Dropdown>().value = resolution;
        volS.GetComponent<Slider>().value = volume;```
i can see in the log that resolution is set to 4, the dropdown object has 5 options
topaz mortar
#

which line is throwing the error?

hybrid karma
#

a line in the TMP_Dropdown script

gaunt ice
#

you have two TMP_Dropdown here

hybrid karma
#

yeah

#

i get the error for the resolution dropdown but not the mode dropdown

#

if i remove the = mode from the script then the resolution one works...

#

what

topaz mortar
#

are you sure you're setting the correct dropdown component?

hybrid karma
#

yeah

gaunt ice
#

can you drag and drop the reference of tmp dropdown to your script component? it is safer, an log the length of options of tmp dropdown

hybrid karma
#

yeah when i log the options count it says 5

#

wtf i just swapped the order so it sets resolution then mode and now it all works??

#

is this a unity/tmp bug?

slender nymph
#

most likely what happened was after the first change you made you saved the code and whatever was initially causing it had already been fixed and was finally compiled

#

unless you are doing something in one of the OnValueChanged events that is causing the issue

hybrid karma
#

i just changed the order back and it broke again

slender nymph
#

then it's probably something you are doing in OnValueChanged

#

of course you haven't even provided the stack trace, or even the actual error message for that matter. so it's hard to tell

young hawk
#

The only two reasons it could happen are some code running on the value being changed as box said, or a very reliable and specific race condition. The latter is incredibly unlikely (honestly probably impossible), so it's probably the former.

hybrid karma
#

i see, it was the same index out of range error as i was having before but when i clicked the error message it took me to a line of code in the TMP_Dropdown script

slender nymph
#

show the stack trace

shy cloud
#

I just set up a slider in my project, but when I try to interact with it, I always just interact with the object behind the slider. I have already searched the internet for solutions, but nothing I found there worked.

slender nymph
hybrid karma
#

is this stack trace

image.png
slender nymph
#

and what is line 46 of SettingsMenu.cs

shy cloud
hybrid karma
#

that is where i set the resolution, its the same error i had before

slender nymph
#

and let me guess, that method is being called in OnValueChanged, yes?

hybrid karma
#

indeed

slender nymph
#

can you share the entire script in a bin site so we can get an actual understanding of what exactly is happening in this code

hybrid karma
#

why? i already solved it

young hawk
#

You did not

#

You need to know why it happened to solve it, otherwise you're just masking the issue

hybrid karma
slender nymph
#

that's a bandaid fix at best and does not actually solve the underlying issue

young hawk
#

^

hybrid karma
#

that was when i figured it out, its because when i set the value it called something that isnt supposed to be called first

young hawk
#

What object was being indexed

hybrid karma
#

an int array for resolution

slender nymph
#

do you want to actually solve this? or would you rather go with your bandaid fix and have to make sure that you always do things in a very specific order and potentially run into this issue many times in the future?

young hawk
#

So modDD.TMP_DropDown.OnValueChanged indexed an array for resolution?

#

That's a little odd

#

Does it index it using the value in the resolution dropdown

hybrid karma
#

the resolution dropdown creates an array with the resolution height and width and then mode uses it to set the actual resolution and window mode, if i call mode first there is no array yet

#

i didnt realise setting the value in script called onvaluechanged

young hawk
#

Why does the dropdown create an array?

#

How are the array values tied to the currently select value of the dropdown?

hybrid karma
slender nymph
slender nymph
hybrid karma
#

you mean like why did i personally do it this way?

slender nymph
#

yes. you're also hardcoding these values for some reason instead of getting the available options that the device supports

hybrid karma
#

idk breh it was was the first thing i thought of

slender nymph
#

well if you were to get the available options using unity's API then you could create the relevant arrays and cache them before either of these methods are called. although you don't even need arrays, just use a Vector2Int or even just two ints since you're just storing 2 ints and using them individually instead of using the array for anything

timber sundial
#

Hello just a quick question about this error im getting. Im trying to do

# 
        Debug.Log(tileManager.GetInstance().columns + "   " + tileManager.GetInstance().rows);
        Debug.Log(newUpdate[0, 0].currentState);
#

but its telling me that the debug.log for newUpdate[0,0] object reference is not set to an instance of an object?

slender nymph
#

that means you have created the array but not actually assigned anything to that position in the array

#

the default value for reference types is null

gaunt ice
#

you just create the array of reference but no any instnace is referenced

timber sundial
#

oh... so just foreach loop through and give it a tile?

slender nymph
#

not a foreach since that wouldn't work. but for loops, yes

timber sundial
#

ah ok thanks ;-;

oh

#

sorry

slender nymph
#

you're calling HandleJumping in Update and adding continuous force to the rb

storm sand
slender nymph
#

yes, you're adding force every frame for that duration

#

this is why your jump is framerate dependent. you would want to do that inside of FixedUpdate not Update

#

but you also cannot use GetKeyDown and GetKeyUp in FixedUpdate because those are only true for a single frame. so you need to split it up to get the input in Update and apply the force in FixedUpdate

storm sand
#

oh, ok I'll try it give me a sec tysm!

silver flicker
#

Yo can anyone help me out here? I got these 2 balls - you can pick which one u want to use (coop type thing) And for some reason it doesn't let me ground check. atm IsGrounded() is constantly true whether you're above the range or not - IsGrounded() method at bottom https://gdl.space/gesefuguva.cs

storm sand
slender nymph
#

oh another possibility is you've selected the wrong transform for the groundCheck object or it isn't actually attached to the player

silver flicker
#

and after disabling all 'jumpable' layers from all objects, I can still infintely jump for some reason

#

The groundcheck objects are correct in the inspector

slender nymph
#

what layer(s) are the player's collider(s) on?

silver flicker
#

as in the player object? or the collider of the player

slender nymph
#

any object attached to the player that has a collider

silver flicker
#

bc currently the objects are on no layers at all and I can still jump

slender nymph
#

including the player object itself

silver flicker
#

all are on default

#

all of them including the player

#

I dont think its a layer issue

#
  • Still infinitely jump
Screenshot_2023-10-15_at_09.55.34.png
#

That is the player 2 ball

#

Is it an issue with the overlapbox? It was working correctly before I changed it from an overlap circle to a box

slender nymph
#

change your IsGrounded method to this and show what it prints:

public bool IsGrounded()
{
    var hit = Physics2D.OverlapBox(groundCheck.position, groundSquare, LayerMask.GetMask("Jump", otherPlayer));
    Debug.Log($"{hit.name} was detected by the OverlapBox. It is on layer {LayerMask.LayerToName(hit.gameObject.layer)}");
    return hit;
}
silver flicker
#

But I can't see reason to not allow it to be a box

#

ok

#

Upon using the player 1, ground and player 1 was detected

slender nymph
#

huh?

#

can you just show what it actually prints

silver flicker
#

(The true statement is a debug.log saying its grounded

Screenshot_2023-10-15_at_10.00.52.png
slender nymph
#

oh whoops i forgot to add a check to make sure it doesn't try to print when nothing was hit

silver flicker
#

Upon switching with characters, and jumping, it says the player I jumped with was detected

Screenshot_2023-10-15_at_10.02.11.png
#

Oh ok

slender nymph
#

looks like your player and ground are on the same layer

silver flicker
#

Oh yeah, Ill change that real quick

slender nymph
#

yeah it's kind of the whole issue. if the player is on the layer you are checking for ground and then its collider will be considered ground for your OverlapBox

silver flicker
#

I see

#

I imagined that the 'other player' string where I input the layer string of the other player would fix that tho right?

slender nymph
#

if the player is on any of the layers that are included in the layermask then it can be detected by the overlapbox

silver flicker
#

I also unset the jump layer in the inspector

#

So there was no layers active for the code to read

#

and it still jumped infinitely

slender nymph
#

and is the log still printing that it has found something?

silver flicker
#

Yeah

#

"Ground was detected by the OverlapBox. It is on layer Default"

#

Oh wait a minute

slender nymph
# 
public bool IsGrounded()
{
    var layerMask = LayerMask.GetMask("Jump", otherPlayer);
    var hit = Physics2D.OverlapBox(groundCheck.position, groundSquare, layerMask);
    if(hit)
        Debug.Log($"{hit.name} was detected by the OverlapBox that originated at {groundCheck.position} with size {groundSquare}. It is on layer {hit.gameObject.layer} ({LayerMask.LayerToName(hit.gameObject.layer)}) at position {hit.transform.position}. Other layer to check: {otherPlayer}. {layerMask} ({GetInstanceID()}).");
    else Debug.Log($"No ground detected this frame ({GetInstanceID()})");
    return hit;
}

try that and show what it prints

silver flicker
#

no definition for hit.gameObject.Layer it says

#

think i got it

#

lowercase l on layer yeah?

slender nymph
#

whoops hit shift on that my bad

silver flicker
#

np

slender nymph
#

i made one more change to the log can you copy/paste it again and show what it prints now?

silver flicker
#

sure

fair steeple
#

Hey, can I delete one of these? They are causing multiple ambiguous reference errors.

image.png
slender nymph
#

delete the second as you are probably not using UIElements. you would know if you were

silver flicker
fair steeple
#

Yeah, VSCode added it on it's own

slender nymph
#

oh wait, you're also calling IsGrounded like 5 or 6 times per frame. you should start by caching the result of that at the beginning of Update instead of calling it that many times per frame. it will not only save a bit of performance, but your logs won't be littered with so many of those calls. because right now you're screenshotting fewer logs than you are printing each frame

silver flicker
#

Alr

slender nymph
#

after you make that change you should post your updated code so i can take another look at it

silver flicker
#

ok I'll be back later bc i gotta head out for now

#

Ill try that when im back in

#

thanks tho man

Hey guys! I need some help with my code. Im trying to do a Tower Defense Game. Ive build a Wave System but it doesnt work that quite like i wanted too. The WaveTimer gets at the start once with 9.98 Debug.Loged. So the WaveTimer doesnt work. Maybe someone can help me.

Where are you delcaring WaveTimer or am I blind ignore this just woke up ;)

the tutorial that i am following is using the "Istantiate", but when i try to use it i get an error, why?

Look at the red line

turbid robin
#

oh i am stupid

#

sorry and thx for the help

fossil drum
timber tide
#

and because you send it into the function, it's a value type and not a reference type (basically it creates a duplicate of the value and passes it into the function)

#

so updating it and sending it back in won't change

turbid robin
ashen anchor
timber tide
#

That would be the easiest idea here, and you can reuse it.

fossil drum
languid spire
#

Wave1 and Wave2 are only called once so there is no timing function going on there

timber tide
#

Could also make a single wave function as well.

#

and just give it different parameters, but yeah it's only being called once

turbid robin
ashen anchor
fair steeple
#

Hey, is Vector3.forward relative to the object's rotation?

languid spire
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

yes, only once

ashen anchor
#

Why? WaveCounter is one and stays at one for the moment

#

Ahhh because of !IsWaveActive

languid spire
#

exactly

ashen anchor
#

Okay. What exactly can i do about it? Im not advanced sry

languid spire
#

make Wave1 and Wave2 Coroutines and loop within them

timber tide
#

Could kinda just remove that check completely since you are also checking the wave number

ashen anchor
ashen anchor
languid spire
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

you've made coroutines before so you should know how they need to work

ashen anchor
#

Yeah! I need to to WaitForSeconds. But why do i even need a Coroutine here?

languid spire
#

you dont need waitforseconds and you need a coroutine because you want it to loop but not block

echo dove
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

that is why Unity wrote documentation so you can reference it

echo dove
# echo dove Nope it isn't

This is another acc because my main got disabled ..... Probably because I was joking around I was underage in another server

#

Anyways it would be great if you would reply

fair steeple
#

How do you give something like AddForce to a Character Controller? Move just teleports around.

ruby python
#

You need a rigidbody, google, there are looooads of tutorials etc.

fair steeple
#

I though it wasn't compatible with CC

ruby python
#

Oh, the character controller component is already a rigidbody of sorts. Have a look for chracter controller tutorials.

fair steeple
#

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow, it seems a bit complicated to do

ruby python
#

It's really not.

fair steeple
#

Maybe but everything is complicated when you need to sleep lol

languid spire
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

Look at your code and think about it

ashen anchor
languid spire
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

right so why are you testing WaveCounter again. Not once but twice?

ashen anchor
languid spire
#

but it can only be 1 because that is the condition for starting it in the first place

ashen anchor
languid spire
#

irrelevant

ashen anchor
# languid spire irrelevant

Ahhhhh
The while can only be activated if WaveTimer is above zero. So in that case there cannot be an if WaveTimer is under zero

languid spire
#

yep, the else code should be after the while is complete

ashen anchor
#

Okay that works. It changes to two. But the Balloons still dont get spawned

languid spire
#

think about it, under which conditions do you Spawn balloons and when is that condition set?

ashen anchor
#

if WaveCounter == 1. That doest make sense because the Coroutine only gets started when its 1. So i deleted that. Now the Balloon Coroutine gets started when the Wave Coroutine starts

languid spire
#

yes, but the condition within the spawner is not being met because you are setting it at the wrong time

ashen anchor
#

So IsWaveActive needs to be true before the BalloonCoroutine starts

languid spire
#

yes

#

it only needs to be set once so has no place within the while

ashen anchor
#

Thats true. Im trying out wait

#

It is working but there is still one last problem. After Wave1 The Balloon and the TestBalloon get spawned. I dont want that. I only want that TestBaloon gets spawned

languid spire
#

now why do you think that is?

ashen anchor
#

Because the Coroutine of Wave1 is still loading.

#

or on

languid spire
#

exactly, so when you Start the SpawnBallons coroutine save the return value and use a StopCoroutine with it at the end of Wave

topaz mortar
#

I have a button that is calling a script on my Menu object
Can I somehow pass a component of the button to the Menu script?

timber tide
#

Button events allow you to pass a single parameter, no? I forget

ashen anchor
languid spire
#

because you need it for StopCoroutine

topaz mortar
ashen anchor
timber tide
#

You can also pass in a delegate if you need to if you can't pass the type/ref value. Make like a delegate getter

languid spire
#

not waitforseconds. The return value from StartCoroutine

ashen anchor
#

So Balloon and WaitForSeconds?

languid spire
#

no. Do you not understand what return value means?

ashen anchor
languid spire
#

when you call a method and StartCoroutine is a method is can return a value.
In this case StartCoroutine returns a value of type Coroutine

# 
int MyMethod() { return 1; }

returns a value of type int containing the value 1

ashen anchor
#

So we return a IEnumerator

languid spire
#

no

#

a Coroutine

#

again look at the docs

ashen anchor
# languid spire

Iam so dumb. I was the wole time on a wrong documentation. We can stop the coroutine by yield return null;

languid spire
#

no

#

in your case you need to stop it explicitly using StopCoroutine

ashen anchor
#

StopCoroutine(SpawnBalloons()); That doesnt work

#

You say I need a return in there

languid spire
#

omg

Coroutine cor = StartCoroutine ...
...
StopCoroutine(cor);
sand glen
#

What am i missing? why is there no UnityEngine.UI documentation?

image.png
ashen anchor
languid spire
#

show me the code you now have for Wave1

ashen anchor
# 
    {
        WaveTimer = 10;

        int WaitForSec = 3;

        IsWaveActive = true;
        Coroutine cor = StartCoroutine(SpawnBalloons(Balloon, WaitForSec));

        while (WaveTimer > 0)
        {

            WaveTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
            Debug.Log(WaveTimer);

            yield return null;
        }

        IsWaveActive = false;
        WaveCounter += 1;
        StopCoroutine(cor);

    }```
languid spire
#

perfect.
Now one thing for you to think about
The only difference between Wave1 and Wave2 is the GameObject being passed to SpawnBalloons. So why not pass that as a parameter to Wave then you only need 1 Wave Coroutine

ashen anchor
languid spire
#

exactly, you've got it

ashen anchor
#

Thanks

Hi all,

Would anyone please take a look at the vid and code and tell me what I'm missing please, been trying to figure this out for about an hour. lol.

Basically I'm trying to write a really simple script so that the suspension rotates to meet the wheel.

Wheels are controlled with NWH's wheel controller asset, now the annoying thing is that the angle of the suspension arm is matching the 'calculated' angle (from the suspension arms origin), but it doesn't seem to be correct and I'm completely baffled.

hi, i am following a tutorial to learn unity ( https://youtu.be/XtQMytORBmM?si=N0uFeL49lJdUppGs ), i am making flappy bird with unity, the tutorial did something that i didnt understand very well, can someone pls explain?
this is the part:

Instantiate(pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(Lowest,Highest), 0), transform.rotation);```
in the tutorial he use this part to spawn the pipes, but i didnt undertand how to use it (i just copied)

What do you not understand about that? Which function do you not know?

turbid robin
#

the founction instantiate

#

and also the part with "new vector3"

stray cosmos
#

Instantiate creates an instance of the game object you put in

#

new just indicates that you're introducing a brand new Vector3 which is being defined then and there

polar acorn
turbid robin
stray cosmos
#

Do you mean that your game is 2D?

turbid robin
#

yeah

#

flappy bird

gaunt ice
#

2d is just 3d but you dont care one axis

#

in most case the z axis will be ignored

stray cosmos
#

Unity is p much built around 3D so a lot of the functions expect 3D Vectors, but usually you can put something like 0 or 1 for the z value

turbid robin
#

oh ok

#

so i am creating a new vector and the moving only the y position right?

#

because the first one is with the trasform.posizition, and z is 0

frigid nimbus
stray cosmos
#

That particular Vector3 is deciding where you want to place the object you're going to instantiate

ok now i am understanding

I want to test OnGameOver function that has 11 references, specifically the IsGameOver bool and the reason var, how can i test for that while disregarding stuff like SpawnUIScreen and gameobjects? do i have to comment it out or something? should i find a way to separate it?

Ok TIL

turbid robin
# 
float Lowest = transform.position.y - Altezza;
float Highest = transform.position.y + Altezza;```
also the tutorial made me create this using the variable `Altezza` that has a value of 10.
after i used lowest and highest in:
```csharp
Instantiate(pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(Lowest,Highest), 0), transform.rotation);```
why i did this and i used the variable `Altezza` and not just a value for lowest and higest?

frigid nimbus
# turbid robin what do you mean sorry?

for the y value on your script when instantiating a pipe, you are choosing a random value between the value of the variable Lowest & Highest, the Lowest var is the transform.position.y of the object that has the script attached - Altezza and Highest is the same but + Altezza, so you get a range of values in wich the pipe could be instantiated, you use your variable to create that "space" or "offset" or whatever you want to call it, and use a variable so you can quickly adjust it and make the code more readable

hi guys, I need a simple answer for this one:

I want to use trig funtions, but I need an angle in either degrees or radians to do so.
how do I convert a 2D sprite's rotation quaternion into an angle float?

its probably a one-line-of-code thing, but im too bad at coding to do it lmao

frigid nimbus
# 
// 1. Get the sprite's rotation Quaternion 
Quaternion spriteRotation = spriteTransform.rotation;

// 2. Convert the Quaternion to Euler angles
Vector3 spriteEulerAngles = spriteRotation.eulerAngles;

// 3. Extract the angle you need (in degrees)
float rotationAngleDegrees = spriteEulerAngles.z;

// If you want the angle in radians, you can convert from degrees to radians
float rotationAngleRadians = rotationAngleDegrees * Mathf.Deg2Rad;

cheers man 👍🏻

There's no reason for your variable to be the same as your method name
