[young warren]

Never named a variable and method the same before

[queen adder]

😄 yes somehow it does not allows

[young warren]

Is it really the issue?

Not that you have 2 methods with the same name

[queen adder]

Nope but i wonder if it can get fixed

[young warren]

No, I'm asking you if the problem is really that the variable and method is the same name

You could check by just naming the variable something else temporarily to see

[timber tide]

Make the compiler happy and do what it says

[queen adder]

Thank you rat, wytea

[hidden citrus]

is it possible to add knockback force to a navmesh agent? Looks like they're conflicting setups. If a rigid body uses gravity and a nav mesh, itll work, but then the agent will slide. The only alternative i can think of is "turn off agent while knocked back coroutine is running" then switching it back on

[timber tide]

I do dislike not being able to named my enums the same name as the type if they are nested within the class. :(

[timber tide]

A* library has its own type of character controller for this situation.

still probably ways about it. Disabling the pathfinding as its knocked back does sounds like the solution, but you lose the feature of a character fighting against the pushing force.

[magic stream]

Player goes through all objects, he doesn't collide with anything.

[tender stag]

is this a good way of getting a percentage?

[flat slate]

eyo why doesnt my Button work?

[summer stump]

Do you have an event system in the scene?

Hey guys, yet another problem from me ha

so, im trying to make a top down shooter, and my current goal is making the camera move in front of the player (relative to the player's rotation) when they scope in.

however, my problem is that sin() and cos() output positive numbers with negative inputs. this means that an angle of -45 is treated the same as 45, which makes the camera completely broken.

is there an easy way to fix this?

here is the code for the camera if you need it: (lineOfSightOffset is the distance from the player that the camera should be)

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse1))
        {   
            // 1. Get the sprite's rotation Quaternion 
            Quaternion spriteRotation = Player.transform.rotation;

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

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

            transform.position = new Vector3(Player.transform.position.x + (LineOfSightOffset * Mathf.Cos(rotationAngleDegrees)), Player.transform.position.y + (LineOfSightOffset * Mathf.Sin(rotationAngleDegrees)), 0);
        }
        else
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(Player.transform.position.x, Player.transform.position.y, 0);
        }

[summer stump]

You want it to randomly break sometimes even at 100 percent?
Not sure what is going on here

The randomvalue part is what's confusing me

[ashen ferry]

How come my lil loading screen still freezes with async scene loading seems like it alleviates it a bit but can I somehow always keep some time in frame for my loading screen script to run so it would be seamless

[tender stag]

each item has a break probability when repairing, starts off at 0

and when repairing in the code above

i need to get a random percentage

and if its in the percentage it needs to break

but if its not you repair the item

and then increase the break probability

[magic stream]

By saying it doesn't work I mean that player goes through all objects.

[modest dust]

If it starts at 0, and you mutiply it by 0.2f it still is 0

[flat slate]

what do i have to do

[modest dust]

And it doesn't increase, it decreases

[tender stag]

oh yeah

[summer stump]

I dunno. You didn't really give any info at all. If you have an event system then it could be other issues

Show a screenshot of your inspector

With the button selected of course

[flat slate]

wait i show you

wait i try something

no still not working

[summer stump]

you dragged a scene object into the on click box of the button, right?

Also, show the code that is supposed to run.

[flat slate]

can u read it?

[sharp stag]

Hey everyone i'm trying to make a first person shooting game but I want some cutscenes to make it switch to TPS, I've already prepared both cameras but I can't manage to change it in Timeline. I already did the cutscene animations and such

[flat slate]

the problem isnt the script because no button is working

Hi. One question, what are those things called please? Like those things that go [] above the variables or something. Because I would learn more about them to be able to do some stuff with those variables under them:

[summer stump]

Hmm, ok what are you dragging into the on click box? And also show a screenshot of the event system. I didn't see it in that video

[wintry quarry]

Attributes

[glossy eagle]

okay thanks

[flat slate]

in the On click box is the script to load the next sentence

its for a dialogue

[summer stump]

Ok, you can't drag a script in

It has to be an OBJECT in the scene that HAS the script on it

[flat slate]

okay wait

[dim basin]

do i use anywhere commands or there ic channel for them?

[summer stump]

What?

[dim basin]

there server commands

like learn

Hey guys, yet another problem from me ha

so, im trying to make a top down shooter, and my current goal is making the camera move in front of the player (relative to the player's rotation) when they scope in so they can see further.

however, my problem is that sin() and cos() output positive numbers with negative inputs. this means that an angle of -45 is treated the same as 45, which makes the camera completely broken.

is there an easy way to fix this?

here is the code for the camera if you need it: (lineOfSightOffset is the distance from the player that the camera should be)

Nope 😦

i tested it out nothing works

there's no need to deal with euler angles or trigonometry here.

[echo dove]

its not that big though

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

public class BulletSpawn : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float cd;
    public Transform pTrans;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject bullet;
    public InputActionReference gamepadRight;
    // Start is called before the first frame update

            cd = 0;
        }
    }
}

I think my problem is with the instantiate

It probably is

[wintry quarry]

transform.position = Player.transform.position + Player.transform.forward * LineOfSightOffset;```all you need is something simple like this^

[summer stump]

Why not just move the camera forward to an offset times transform.forward?

Oh

Like praetor said

[gray arrow]

i not sure if that will account for direction

[rich adder]

possibly, which object has this script on it ?

[gray arrow]

ill do it and get back to you

[echo dove]

my player

and the ai but ai has a different script

[wintry quarry]

of course it will..? What do you think transform.forward is?

(this is assuming a 3d game btw)

[gray arrow]

its 2d

[wintry quarry]

then use transform.right instead

otherwise the same

[gray arrow]

ok

[rich adder]

hmm show the pivot of this object again

[echo dove]

using System.Collections;

    }
}

Here is my ai script(It also does not shoot but does move)

[flat slate]

doesnt work anyway

the thing is i just copied the button to another scene

[rich adder]

use link instead

[flat slate]

in the other scene it works

[summer stump]

Show me the event system in that scene

[rich adder]

your Pivot is messed up

[flat slate]

what do you mean?

[rich adder]

the red should be pointing the same way as barrel @echo dove

[summer stump]

Send a screenshot showing the event system

[rich adder]

and the green should be your Left side of character @echo dove

[flat slate]

what is the event system?

[echo dove]

how do I change it

[summer stump]

That was my first question and you said you had one lol!
It's something you NEED for buttons to work

[gray arrow]

it works! thanks

[summer stump]

Create one in your scene

[rich adder]

righ click on player, make a new gameobject on the player, move it out of the player object after..Make sure now points correct way, put it back on your player and use that as your shoot-BulletSpawn script / origin

[summer stump]

Was that other code GPT?

[gray arrow]

i thought transform.forward was another shorthand like vector3.up not sure why

[flat slate]

Ohh now i know what you mean

[gray arrow]

nah copy paste from someone else in this channel, hence the comments

[flat slate]

thank you im dump

[summer stump]

The comments are why I thought gpt haha.
But yeah, it was a really odd way to do it

Edit: honestly, I bet THEY used gpt. Only it could come up with something like that hahaha

[flat slate]

now it works

[echo dove]

So I have to redo my model?

[gray arrow]

one thing i do want to know, is is there a way to modify transform.position.z without writing the whole thing as a Vector3 and changing the z part?

[wintry quarry]

several ways

[rich adder]

if its a sprite you can fix the pivot in sprite editor, it doesnt matter tho you can just make an empty gameobject for this just as Firepoint then use that in instantiate with a reference to that transform

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 pos = transform.position;
pos.z = whatever;
transform.position = pos;

or use an extension method:

public static Vector3 WithZ(this Vector3 input, float newZ) {
  input.z = newZ;
  return input;
}

// THen you can do this
transform.position = transform.position.WithZ(whatever);

Or add somthing:

transform.position += Vector3.forward * amountToChange;```

[echo dove]

I did this is this okay?

[rich adder]

yeah that should work

[echo dove]

But what is this fixing?

nothing changed

[rich adder]

show video how it spawns them

[rich adder]

probably need to fix the bullet as well

[echo dove]

the pivot?

[rich adder]

show prefab for it
you try making a new bullet thats just a 2D circle sprite and see if it works

[echo dove]

ok

[rich adder]

lol

you don't see the problem

[echo dove]

No shot...

[rich adder]

bruh, look at video before this

look carefully

[echo dove]

Yep I saw..

the bullet is way of

Idk how it happened

[rich adder]

indeed

probably when you worked in Center pivot On

[echo dove]

So I should make a new bullet prototype

[echo dove]

yep

I have a problem in my script in this part:

Debug.Log("New Player arrived");
GameObject playerInstance = Instantiate(PlayerPrefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
Debug.Log("Player spawned");
ConnectedPlayer.Add(NewID);
Debug.Log(ConnectedPlayer);

when I launch a second session of the game, I see the New Player arrived log looping in the console but I do not see the Player spawned and no player is instantiated. in the hierarchy I don't see any player appearing even in 0,0,0

[jolly igloo]

@rich adder

[rich adder]

alright, what problem are you having again

[queen adder]

.

[rich adder]

yea but we need to know what "in the right place" means

eg screenshot some spawn points, and where its spawning instead

[jolly igloo]

basicaly some pipes are blocking the scene when they spawn and the bird cant pass

ill show you a pic

[short hazel]

Two options here.

1. On the second client, somehow PlayerPrefab is null, which makes Instantiate throw an exception, stopping the execution immediately (hence no log and no player instantiated). You'll get a "the object you want to instantiate is null!" error in the console.
2. The whole ws.OnMessage handler here runs in another thread, and accessing most Unity stuff (instantiating objects included) from another thread terminates the thread immediately without warning.

how do u navigate fast in rider to a class u know name of but dont have it used in code on hand for ctrl click like if ive got ClassA so I press some shortcut type that in and it opens me definition somewhere in my scripts

also show prefab for pipe

is it the same problem with me

[rich adder]

might be xD

Why are you using a float for this?

[echo dove]

Should i not and if then what is the difference

[echo dove]

alr 😭
why?

[rich adder]

Just don't use that function at all, its slow / brittle

[echo dove]

how Can I deliver messages or functions to others with an if statement

[rich adder]

just reference the script and call the function directly

later on you learn about real events

like Action

or UnityEvent

[echo dove]

Wait how do I do that

[twilit nest]

Het I'm trying to rotate a head along the Z axis. In the Scene editor it automatically adjusts for the position aswell. How do I do this in code when I just try to edit the Z rotation it goes around the player body.

This is the current code I use for rotating the head.

y = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

Vector3 headCenter = bodyHead.transform.position + bodyHead.transform.up * radius;

bodyHead.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(bodyHead.transform.eulerAngles.x, bodyHead.transform.eulerAngles.y, bodyHead.transform.eulerAngles.z + y * sensitivity);

public MyScript theScript;
or

second one is better

some caveats
https://unity.huh.how/references/serialized-references

[echo dove]

oh yeahh

so do I do

[rich adder]

your current function still doesn't make much sense

[dry tendon]

is there any way to execute a function even before the unity animation on android is being executed?

[rich adder]

the unity animation on android ?

[dry tendon]

yeah

[rich adder]

what is that?

you mean the logo splash screen ?

[ashen ferry]

can I serialize DateTime

[rich adder]

negative

make a struct

[echo dove]

How do I check if the function was activated?

void check()
{
    if (script.die)
    {
        die();
    }
}

that doesn't work

[rich adder]

a boolean

[echo dove]

wdym

[dry tendon]

exacly... I need to charge something before that spash screen end... and even i make that splash screen larger the function awake is always executed a few miliseconds before that splash screen ends

[rich adder]

the most basic logic in computer

[echo dove]

hmm okay lemme mess around

[rich adder]

true / false

[echo dove]

is it okay for me to ping you next time if I need help

[rich adder]

only if it pertains to a problem I've responded to, don't ping me for every issue you have lol

[echo dove]

ok

[rich adder]

other people here are very capable to respond lol

[echo dove]

😉

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do exactly with that ?

[echo dove]

https://hatebin.com/mfmtyaeyon

I thought of making a variable

and tuning it true when the player dies

thus have information from that variable and when it does become true the ai also dies

[rich adder]

alright , only issue so far its private

[dry tendon]

I need to receive the response of the API we did yesterday before the splash screen ends

[echo dove]

But Idk how to extract variables from scripts

[echo dove]

oh ok

[rich adder]

. dot operator

they need to be public

[echo dove]

I knew about that

[echo dove]

Seems like that was my problem

[rich adder]

not sure on this one, maybe you need some type of hook. did you try searching the web ? its weird needing to do it like this instead of just doing it on a pre-setup scene

[echo dove]

Nope the ai doesnt die

ah wait

[rich adder]

you should just keep this info stored on a enemy manager

so only 1 thing checks the bool

instead of all enemies

reduces code

[echo dove]

so I should make the ai a prefab?

[rich adder]

that too but I meant, a script that just manages all your enemies and checks if player == dead, then it just sets all enemies to dead

instead of all enemies checking for player bool

[dry tendon]

hehe, I'm taking advantage of the splash screen

[rich adder]

thats more spaghetti then it needs to be

[echo dove]

oh okay

[rich adder]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/execute-code-before-the-made-with-unity-splash-screen.463855/

[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSplashScreen)]

[dry tendon]

@rich adder so if this is the method i need to execute before the splash screen it will be something like this? ```cs
[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSplashScreen)]
private void Awake()
{
// Solicitar permisos de ubicación (puede personalizar este mensaje)

hey any chance anybody knows how to switch cameras during timeline, my case I've a first person game which I want some third person cutscenes with timeline but I couldn't find how to swap cameras, I've 2 cameras ready (FPS and TPS)

[warm raptor]

I don't really understand what's the second options, and I'm sure that it can't be the first one because I don't get any warning or error in the console
also I tried with this code and here the player spawn without any problem

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

public class TESTINSTANCIATE : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject PlayerPrefab;
    GameObject player;
    void Start()
    {
       player = Instantiate(PlayerPrefab, new Vector3(0,1,0), Quaternion.identity);
    }
}

does anyone know how to stop a character falling through the floor? ive tried looking ways online how to stop it and its not doing anything. this is the code im using

im following this tutorial and everything worked fine until the last 5 minutes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxg0vQk05os

now everytime i play test it i just fall through the terrain

[rich adder]

first of all follow this
!ide

[short hazel]

It's the second option then. Your websocket client/server here probably runs on a separate thread to not block Unity's code. You need to create a way to pass your websocket messages to the main thread (the one Unity runs on). Probably using a ConcurrentQueue<T>, that's a collection that allows cross-thread operations, meaning you can add elements from one thread and remove them from another. This definitely isn't a beginner topic though

[gaunt ice]

you want to send angle to server but why you start a server in your code?

[cunning eagle]

i have visual studio installed

[rich adder]

yes but you need to configure it properly with unity. It will save tons of time debugging problems, read the bot link

also multiplying time mouse by delta time is wrong

remove that

[cunning eagle]

i didnt make it its from a tutorial im following and everything was working until my character just keeps falling through the terrain

[rich adder]

well the tutorial is wrong

and if you're falling through the floor then you don't have collider on floor, or you messed up the grounded layer

[warm raptor]

thank you for enlightening me on the problem , I'm gonna look what I can do with it, and yes you're right this seams not to be an easy problem , but I didn't know what was the problem and I was thinking that It was just a stupid mistake, that was I post it in code-beginner 😅

[cunning eagle]

this is what the terrain looks like

there is a collider

[rich adder]

inspector for the player object

[cunning eagle]

like this?

sorry this is literally like my day 1 of coding and everything was working fine until now

[ruby python]

Anyone? Pleasings? 🙂

[dry tendon]

So, in my case, what would you do here to have that number ready before showing a 0 when you get in the game? It takes so long to remove the 0 and add the number because that is the time it takes to obtain my location, send it to the API, and receive what the API sends me |Is the number next to the big 0|

[cunning eagle]

i posted it

[rich adder]

looks fine here, what did you change before it fell

[cunning eagle]

I made a new layer for the terrain called ground

[rich adder]

How I would do it, you can use async / coroutine to wait until that info has arrived until you load the scene

show player fancy loading or somehting

shouldn't take long since its an API call but those are ones you use async for this exact reason

you want the data to be ready before doing anything (ofc unless you have no connection or anything exception)

[rich adder]

you put that ground in that layer when you created it ?

[cunning eagle]

if i put the player up really high like this sometimes it doesnt fall through but it still stays up really high

[cunning eagle]

i made a new layer on the terrain called ground and then made the player have a ground check

[rich adder]

yes but did you put the terrain inside if ground ?

[cunning eagle]

yes

[rich adder]

can u show a video when it falls thru

try keeping the sleeping mode to Never Sleep on rigidbody, see if it helps

[solid cove]

Still the same thing happening

maybe it could be the sprite hitbox? i dont see why but just throwing it out there

[echo dove]

How is it public transform player

I need that for the ai to navigate the player

And doesn't the ai destroy itself how come it is sending commands that it needs the players transform?

[rich adder]

which layer is player in? maybe it needs to be in its own layer

[solid cove]

default

[rich adder]

because update is running so quickly that it probably tries to still get distance while player is destroyed

[echo dove]

I tested it

it isn't coming from the ai it is coming from the camera xD

because when the player dies apparently the camera doesn't get any transform

anyways thanks

always hmm yeah always expand the error fully when you read it.

are you sure ur not just spawning in the ground, lift it up a bit from the ground

also look the Y posiiton in playmode, does it keep moving?

[tender stag]

how can i make foreach run once for every requirement? its in update ```cs
private void Update()

Item inputItem = inputCell.item;
IDurable durableItem = inputItem as IDurable;

    breakText.text = "Break %: " + (inputItem as IDurable).BreakPercentage.ToString("F0") + "%";

    foreach(var requirement in inputItem.GetProcess<RepairProcess>().repairRequirements)
    {
        templateName.text = requirement.item.itemData.name;
        templateSprite.sprite = requirement.item.itemData.sprite;
        templateAmount.text = "x" + requirement.amount;

        GameObject newTemplate = Instantiate(template);
        newTemplate.transform.SetParent(content);

        templates.Add(newTemplate);
    }
}
else
{
    breakText.text = "";

    if(templates.Count > 0)
    {
        templates.Clear();
    }
}

}```

maybe check if the list doesnt already contain the newTemplate?

oh I think i forgot to save

[formal escarp]

Like this right? i wanna use the 2019 version.

Recommend sicking to naming conventions and naming that bool IsMoving (which makes it sound like a question)

And is in PascalCase (uppercase first letter for each word)

@echo dove

[summer stump]

That is only one step of it, but yeah

[echo dove]

Okay

thx

Why should it be aquestion

I can make it Moving

because Moving == false;

or Moving == true;

Tells me the condition of moving or not

[short hazel]

It's the naming, so you know it's a bool

Is the player moving? IsPlayerMoving or IsMoving

And it looks better in if statements if (player.IsMoving) ...

[echo dove]

okay

@slender nymph sorry but. installing the IDE like. uh. what is the IDE for

[slender nymph]

visual studio is your IDE. it's for writing code. you need to configure it to use it with unity. having a configured IDE will provide you with autocomplete and intellisense. it will also highlight your errors for you and provide syntax highlighting for unity types.
having it configured is a requirement for receiving programming help in this server

ooohh.

once its 100% installed, my code should look different right? well, rather my code Visual Studio itself?

NICE. I have it fully installed now.

[echo dove]

Wait but what is wrong with my question

[slender nymph]

and now you can use intellisense to determine how to make your rigidbody kinematic instead of attempting to use an enum that does not exist

[formal escarp]

not sure what is an enum, but alright i think i can handle it now that the IDE helps me

[slender nymph]

well you've not provided enough relevant information to determine the source of your issue

Because I am not sure what is the problem here and what I should send

that is why I reached out here

[ashen ferry]

SceneManager.sceneLoaded += (_, _) => mainCamera = Camera.main; does this meme of a syntax have a name wtf im doing here

[wintry quarry]

it's just adding a lambda as a listener to an event

the (_, _) is usually more like (param1, param2)

but you're using discards _ instead of actual names since you're ignoring the parameters

[cunning eagle]

moving it doesnt change anything

[ashen ferry]

aa cool

[slender nymph]

well this is a code channel after all. and #854851968446365696 specifically mentions how to share code

[echo dove]

oh okay

[cunning eagle]

yes it moves

[rich adder]

so you're infinitely falling, you must be spawning / snapping under the floor. Check your positions/colliders

Hey guys, i'm trying to add bullet spread to my 2D top down shooter. however, the bullet keeps coming out at very peculiar angles when i shoot the gun. in the code below, which is the part that needs fixing, FirePoint is the point from which the bullet appears, and also is facing in the direction that the bullet needs to be fired in. can someone tell me whats wrong?

Vector3 BulletDirection = FirePoint.rotation.eulerAngles;

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse1))
        {
            BulletDirection.z += Random.Range(-bulletSpreadADS, bulletSpreadADS);
        }
        else
        {
            BulletDirection.z += Random.Range(-bulletSpreadHipFire, bulletSpreadHipFire);
        }

        FirePoint.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(BulletDirection);

        GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, FirePoint.position, FirePoint.rotation);

Sphere collider is a Unity component, nothing to do with Microsoft

[formal escarp]

oh. my bad.

[rich adder]

screenshot the error in the console

you should be able to expand to see more info

[slender nymph]

a super simple way would be to add the X and Y together and hash that and add it to the regular seed. this will end up with some repeats though where 1,3 and 3,1 would have the same seed so you'd also need some other way to differentiate such as maybe also the hash of the angle from origin to the chunk.
or you could choose something else entirely, you just need to choose something that will be deterministic

[tiny bloom]

Hello everyone
I am not a beginner to C#, but please if someone can try to explain this whether it's in C# terms or simple unity terms
So the update method get calls once per frame
that means that if my pc is stuck to 60fps, that method will be called 60 times a second
so, if I have an array of 100 elements, and I loop it inside the Update method, that means each second I am looping 100*60 = 6000 elements
my question is, how does this work programmatically?
like each second, how does the CPU split the calls to those for loops? does it queue those loops and pass each one to a thread? what happens if one thread isn't done with its loop then time passes? does the thread skip that loop and jump to the next one assign to that second?
please refer me to any guides that discuss this, as I am not a game developer and I am trying to understand the effect of this on a large scale project

[formal escarp]

im trying to find to add the sphere collider to the floor but i dont see it 💀

[formal escarp]

OOHH

[short hazel]

Who reads error messages anyway :)

[formal escarp]

im going to rest. i cant even read that 💀

[slender nymph]

that loop will happen entirely on the same thread. unless you are setting up your code to run on multiple threads it will not do so. the unity API can also only be accessed from the main thread so unless you have an actual reason to use multiple threads, don't bother doing so.

your code will run sequentially so when update is called the loop runs to completion. no other code will be running during that time. then on the next frame the same thing happens

[formal escarp]

im tired man. i read half the stuff

[rich adder]

hey errors usually tell you exactly whats wrong

[formal escarp]

i know. im just really tired.

[rich adder]

[torpid herald]

Why do you have to add L to the end of a long value, D to the end of a double number, and F in front of a float number? I was thinking it was for identification but wouldn't the keyword before the name of the variable already do that?

Sorry about the basic question, I tried to google it but it won't come up

[summer stump]

It won't have the type on the left every time. Sometimes you want to do something like:
Random.Range(0f, 1f);
No decimals, but you want it to be clear that it is a float so it returns a float

In an initializer, it is just a convention

[timber tide]

Yeah, it's not like you do Random.Range(0f, new float 1) so there needs to be some identifier

actually do you need to put f if you make it with two decimals

[summer stump]

I am not sure in that method. It may complain about it being a double. May not 🤷‍♂️

[timber tide]

yeah true

[short hazel]

Default type for a decimal literal is double, so it will complain

[summer stump]

Just checked. It complained

Ah, yep SPR2 is right

[short hazel]

The postfixes are there so you don't need to cast the values to their correct type

[timber tide]

was working on some old opengl version and was having to type out 0f and some of its functions which I thought was funny

Moin again, can someone tell how, how i get
Directory.GetFiles(Application.streamingAssetsPath + 4th Folder + Filename)
?
So how do i do this 4th folder thing?

[swift crag]

i don't know what this "4th folder" thing is at all

[tulip tapir]

i have subfolders and i want to get the 4th one in my filepath, without knowing the name of it (because it can change)

[tulip tapir]

Directory.GetDirectories
counts the Folders and now i want to access number 4

[swift crag]

well, iterate over the directories in the Application.streamingAssetPath directory and use the fourth one

[tulip tapir]

what does iterate mean?

[swift crag]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directory.getdirectories?view=net-7.0#system-io-directory-getdirectories(system-string-system-string-system-io-searchoption)

this returns an array of strings

you could actually just pick the fourth one directly

[swift crag]

to loop over things

foreach (var dir in Directory.GetDirectories(...))

but since it returns an array, you can just do Directory.GetDirectories(...)[3]

[tulip tapir]

ill try that one

hey everyone!

so im new to unity and im currently trying to get a simple input system for a 2D game. this script is basically supposed to use raycasting to detect when the mouse is hovering over a gameobject i have created known as a tile, and this object has a box collider on it.

however, the ray is not hitting it for some reason. i know its initiating the ray because the "RAYCASTING" debug log is sent, but nothing further than that is. any help?

void Update()
    {
        if (buildingBackend.getBuildMode())

            Debug.DrawRay(Input.mousePosition, Vector3.forward);
            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
            {
                Debug.Log("it raycast");
                if (hit.transform.parent.gameObject == Tiles)
                {

                    if (previousTile == null)
                    {
                        Debug.Log("its the first tile!!");
                        currentTile.GetComponent<TileScript>().displayPrediction();

[tulip tapir]

I want to count the Files in Subfolder_2, without knowing the Foldernames. So i want to include them into my Filepath with their Positions

[covert nest]

sorry if im interrupting something

[swift crag]

that DrawRay call is going to shoot a ray very far away from the world origin, since you're passing Input.mousePosition as the "from" argument

the actual raycast looks okay, assuming that camera is indeed the camera that's rendering right now

[covert nest]

oh the drawray was just me trying to see if the ray was shooting, forgot to remove it

yes it is

is this maybe some issue with layers?

[plucky fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1xZGt41N80&list=PLFt_AvWsXl0fnA91TcmkRyhhixX9CO3Lw&index=10&ab_channel=SebastianLague

[swift crag]

The default will hit every layer except "Ignore Raycast"

[covert nest]

hm. can you think of anything else that could be causing this??

[plucky fractal]

find a way to draw the ray where its actually pointing and see

[covert nest]

oh wait a second

[swift crag]

you should split this into a few lines. First get the directory name, then do something with it

[covert nest]

does the Box Collider 2D component create a non-filled collider??

like, just the edge parts??

[swift crag]

you forgot to include Subfolder_2 in the GetFiles call

oh, you're trying to hit a 2D collider

3D raycasts don't care about 2D physics whatsoever

[covert nest]

im gonna try replacing the collider with a different type

see if that fixes it

[swift crag]

a 3D raycast will never hit a 2D collider

If you just want to find if there's a 2D collider where you clicked, you can use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapPoint.html

[covert nest]

eyy yes it fixed it

[plucky fractal]

I think my question was ment to be code-general, how can I move it there without double posting?

[covert nest]

was simply my silliness causing the issue

[swift crag]

just delete the original

[tulip tapir]

how do i get the Name?
Directory.GetDirectories().Name;
?

[swift crag]

this returns an array of strings.

i mean to store the result of GetDirectories(...)[3] in a variable, and then use it on the next line

instead of trying to cram it all into one line

[unreal imp]

@polar acorn do you have an idea of how i could improve it?(so sorry for the ping 😭 ) and let me know if i wasnt clear in something 😦

[ashen ferry]

is there update method but for like always not only in play mode

[timber tide]

Like on the gui?

[ashen ferry]

it aint do nun

    {
        Debug.Log("test");
    }```

should print no

[frosty hound]

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

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Editor.OnSceneGUI.html

for editor stuff if that's what you're looking for

[ashen ferry]

executeAlways is what I needed not editor stuff wanted to set shader property so it would look right not only in play mode

ty

[acoustic arch]

my child object of the weapon parent rotating pivot point isnt set to the parent object

[tulip tapir]

how do i isolate the Foldername from the whole path in the String?

[frosty hound]

The pivot of an object doesn't change based on the parent. You rotate the parent and it'll rotate the child with it.

[acoustic arch]

ye i realized i typed thta wrong

basically ive made what im trying to already in a different project but im making it again and i have it like the exact same but its not working

[frosty hound]

It's not exact if it's not behaving as before.

How pivots and rotations work is not a randomly determined outcome. That would make development impossible.

[tulip tapir]

can i
String = "Hello" - "llo";
to get "He"?

[wintry quarry]

no

but you can do cs string x = "hello"; string y = x.Replace("llo", ""); print(y); // prints "he"

[silk night]

what in the javascript is that syntax 😄

[wintry quarry]

which syntax?

[tulip tapir]

can i
name = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "Folder" + MoreFolder)[Number].GetDirectoryName();

[silk night]

String = "Hello" - "llo";

[wintry quarry]

it's not real syntax

[silk night]

i know

[wintry quarry]

But it could be valid C# if string overrode the - operator

[silk night]

well it isnt until you plug it into javascript and god knows what the output will be

[wintry quarry]

Combine strings to make a path using Path.Combine();
E.g.

string path = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "Folder", "AnotherFolder");```

(with using System.IO;)

[tulip tapir]

i need to get the name of a folder in a path, so i have to reduce the path from the string

[wintry quarry]

Use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.path.getdirectoryname?view=net-7.0#system-io-path-getdirectoryname(system-string)

no need to write it yourself

[tulip tapir]

does
GetDirectoryName()
work?

[wintry quarry]

why wouldn't it

[tulip tapir]

'string' does not contain a definition for 'GetDirectoryName' and no accessible extension method 'GetDirectoryName' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[wintry quarry]

Of course not

it's not part of the String class

look at the doc I linked

Path.GetDirectoryName

[tulip tapir]

but isnt a path a string?

[wintry quarry]

Path is its own class

there is a parameter in that function called path which is a string

[tulip tapir]

So
Name = Directory.GetDirectories(stringpath)[FolderPosition].GetDirectoryName();
?

[wintry quarry]

no

[tulip tapir]

why not? ^^

[wintry quarry]

because GetDirectoryName:

• Is a static function on the Path class
• doesn't make sense there

since you're doing GetDirectories it's already returning directory names for you

there's no need for GetDirectoryName

[tulip tapir]

So
Name = Name.GetDirectoryName();
?

[wintry quarry]

what is Name?

can you give an example of what you're trying to do?

The things you're writing are confusing and not consistent

[tulip tapir]

GetDirectories returns the full path, not the name, thats why i need to isolate it

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure I follow

give a concrete example

[tulip tapir]

So the Idea is:
GetDirectories[Position) --> Path
and then
Path - Path(exept Name)

[wintry quarry]

like if you have a folder:

Folder
  Subfolder1
  Subfolder2

What are you inputting and what are you trying to get out?

[tulip tapir]

Name = "Subfolder1"
thats what i want name to be

[wintry quarry]

that's the input?

Or the output?

what do you already have and what are you trying to get?

ok and what information do you have that should result in you getting "Subfolder1" out?

[ashen ferry]

[tulip tapir]

i have the Path and i want to get the Foldername

[wintry quarry]

you have the full path?

and you just want the last part?

[tulip tapir]

yes

[tulip tapir]

yes

Thats the Idea of
Name = Directory.GetDirectories()[FolderPosition].GetDirectoryName();

[wintry quarry]

you can do cs string folderName = new DirectoryInfo(Directory.GetDirectories()[FolderPosition]).Name;

or in general:

string folderName = new DirectoryInfo(fullPath).Name;```

[acoustic arch]

https://hatebin.com/oqfusvdlpj
how come the animation keeps playing continuously?

[wintry quarry]

there's nothing in this code that does anything related to any animations.

[violet topaz]

i have a issue with my game. the fire point is going out side the angle i assigned it. https://gdl.space/nigijesixo.cs

[wintry quarry]

other than animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); but that doesn't affect anything - just gets a reference to the Animator

[tulip tapir]

o.O
:-}
looks good

[acoustic arch]

32- 25

[wintry quarry]

that's telling it to enter one of the animator states. The behavior of whether it will repeat or whatever will come down to how your state machine is set up

[acoustic arch]

nothing in it should make it repeat iself

weird

[wintry quarry]

You are adding a random amount between -10 and 10 to the rotation of the firepoint. There's nothing preventing or limiting it from achieving any angle

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show how the state machine is set up

[acoustic arch]

if loop time is enabled, would that make it repeat automatically when played

[wintry quarry]

if there's nothing telling it to transition out of that state, it will stay there

[wintry quarry]

I actually don't recommend rotating firepoint at all. That's not a good way to add spread

[violet topaz]

thats what im trying to figure out

[wintry quarry]

just add a random rotation to firepoint's rotation and use that for the projectile.

no need to modify firepoint's rotation

[tulip tapir]

Ok, one more thing, is there a way to exclude meta files in the editor version, so i dont stuble across these all the time?

[wintry quarry]

Try this:

        Quaternion rotation = firePoint.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, Random.Range(-10, 10));
        Rigidbody2D bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, rotation);
        bullet.AddRelativeForce(Vector2.up * bulletForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);```

note i made changes to all three lines, don't skip anything

[wintry quarry]

wdym "exclude meta files in the editor version"

from this code?

what is this code supposed to be doing?

[acoustic arch]

how can i have a trigger activated once button is clicked, but after the animation the trigger is reset

[tulip tapir]

when i have an mp3 file in my folder and i wan to access it through the now done code, i stuble in the editor version across the mp3.meta files

[wintry quarry]

triggers reset automatically as soon as they are used

[acoustic arch]

oh

[wintry quarry]

what folder?

It shouldn't be in any folder that would result in a meta file being there

[tulip tapir]

the one we just found with the GetDirectoryName thing

[wintry quarry]

if you're reading it like this, it needs to go in the streaming assets folder

[tulip tapir]

there it is

[violet topaz]

thanks for the help @wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

I guess the better question I have is - why are you accessing it based on a position in the directory rather than... say... name or something?

[acoustic arch]

oh ok, how then do i make where if no trigger is active, then its in the default state

cause its looping the attack state

once the trigger is active once

it needs a transition back to default

[wintry quarry]

all you need to do is put an unconditional transition from the "Melee Weapon Slash" state back to the idle state

[tulip tapir]

long explanation^^
anyway, can i just say
Name = "Hello.mp3.meta" - ".meta";
?
is there not a way to reduce strings?

[wintry quarry]

I explained how to do that earlier

[tulip tapir]

yea? now i need to scroll^^

[wintry quarry]

you can also use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.path.getfilenamewithoutextension?view=net-7.0#system-io-path-getfilenamewithoutextension(system-string)

[acoustic arch]

[tulip tapir]

So
if (Name.Contains(".meta"){Name = Name.Replace(".meta", "");})
right?

[tulip tapir]

but i wanna keep the mp3 extention

[wintry quarry]

it will keep it. I'd do more like:

if (Name.EndsWith(".meta")) {
  Name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Name);
}```

[tulip tapir]

meeeh, but i think this Path thing is taking the whole path again and not my now carefully cutted string name o.o

[wintry quarry]

or :

if (Name.EndsWith(".meta")) {
  int extensionLength = ".meta".Length;
  Name = Name[0..^extensionLength];
}```
Does this work? I think it works 😉

[tulip tapir]

2 Points, what do they mean?
[..extensionLength]

[wintry quarry]

https://humbletoolsmith.com/2019/12/21/csharp-strings-with-ranges,-and-indexes/

[tulip tapir]

ah ok

[tulip tapir]

i think that worked, but it seems like somewhere else is still something wrong, but thanks :)

[wintry quarry]

can't you just skip the meta files entirely?

since the actual files will be there

[tulip tapir]

in the build, i will not need this line of code anymore, because the meta files will not be there anymore, but for developement in the editor, ill need this line. i fixed the mistakes now. But for some reason the functionality of my random function has changed xD
but, as a Pro-Programmer ... i dont ask why xD

[swift crag]

i am really, really, really getting the feeling that you're doing things the wrong way here

you keep asking questions about doing very strange things with file paths

[wintry quarry]

yeah - feels very XY problem to me

[swift crag]

isn't this one of the examples on the XY problem website

<n00b> How can I echo the last three characters in a filename?
<feline> If they're in a variable: echo ${foo: -3}
<feline> Why 3 characters? What do you REALLY want?
<feline> Do you want the extension?
<n00b> Yes.
<feline> There's no guarantee that every filename will have a three-letter extension,
<feline> so blindly grabbing three characters does not solve the problem.
<feline> echo ${foo##*.}

ok, not exactly, but,

[wintry quarry]

haha quite similar

[ashen ferry]

https://hatebin.com/whcoqziqhr what is this weird behaviour I have to move mouse around for it to run or it just stop altogether is it something to do with Time.deltaTime or update method or what how can I make it run properly in edit mode. It should fade in/out constantly as in the start

[swift crag]

The scene view will only update when it needs to

[wintry quarry]

Update doesn't run all the time in edit mode

[swift crag]

I don't think "Always Refresh" affects that

It looks like you're doing some smoothing on the colors. If you want to preview them outside of play mode, I'd just disable smoothing when not in play mode

[ashen ferry]

no I want to see that smoothing in edit mode too

im back at square one for a method which runs in edit mode like update does in play mode

[young warren]

That's because you marked them as trigger

[formal escarp]

im using this to jump, but i can do it every time i want to. How can i make it so i can double jump?

[silk night]

As for your questions:

You raycast to the ground, if the raycast hits and is short enough for your character to (barely) touch ground you set a variable grounded to true and a counter to zero
if you jump grounded goes to false and counter goes up, you can jump while either grounded or counter < jump count

[wintry quarry]

first step is make it so you can only jump on the ground.
Once you have that figured out, modify it slightly to allow one single jump when not on the ground

[formal escarp]

So basically, a totally new script besides keeping this one 🤔 thanks.

[wintry quarry]

not really

[formal escarp]

i can do it on the same one?

[wintry quarry]

you just need to add a grounded check for the first part

[wintry quarry]

why not?

[summer stump]

They already have a ground check
"EstaEnPiso"

[wintry quarry]

oh they do have a ground check

[silk night]

Oh yeah right

[young warren]

You should also configure your visual studio so that it recognizes Unity stuff

[formal escarp]

thats weird. i did it today.

[young warren]

Maybe you opened the script outside of Unity. Look into it later. I don't want to derail the debugging

[formal escarp]

yeah i think that was it. lol. closed and opened and it is okay now.

[silk night]

So can you jump unlimited times now? Cause your script already checks if you are on ground

[formal escarp]

i can jump unlimited times.

[silk night]

is your SphereColider way bigger than your character?

or not positioned to its center

[north kiln]

You also need to configure VS !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

[formal escarp]

i did i did.

not sure what happend on that screenshoot.

[formal escarp]

let me see real quick

no. the collider seems fine to me.

[summer stump]

The checkcapsule seems kinda oddly set up.

You go from the center and use the bounds and all that but you only really care about right below you
I would do a checksphere at the feet with a small radius or raycast

[silk night]

Oh i think I know what happens, the end part of the Physics.CheckCapsule is absolute, can you debug log us the col.bounds.center?

[formal escarp]

uuuhhhh

[formal escarp]

double uuuuuhhhh

im unsure on how to do that let me google it rq

[silk night]

What it tries to do is check from center of the character collider to the bottom of it + some spare

[silk night]

Add Debug.Log(col.bounds.center) in the ground check

above the return line

[formal escarp]

the ground check was line 23 right?

the "if input" blabla?

oh above the return one okay

[acoustic arch]

is there a way i can have the player's full sprite be shown in another menu, like even with all the attatched sprites in the child objects?

[formal escarp]

Here. I jumped 4 times.

[verbal dome]

You would need to either clone the player or render it with a secondary camera

[acoustic arch]

how could i clone the player?

instantiate it in the menu and make it unable to move?

[silk night]

Is your character a fixed height?

[ashen ferry]

if u want scene player to show up in ui view can u really clone that

[formal escarp]

my character is just a regular sphere.

it can bounce tho.

but i dont think that has anything to do with the infinite jump

[verbal dome]

Instantiate is used to clone an object. But that will copy all the script components too, so you have to remove/disable those.
I would just render it with a secondary camera

[acoustic arch]

how could i render it with a secondary camera

2D game btw

[verbal dome]

If you can jump in the air, that means that your ground check (EstaEnPiso) isnot working correctly.

[verbal dome]

Add a camera with a rendertexture

[silk night]

Ohhhh I know the problem now, your ground check detects your character as ground

[verbal dome]

Keep it on,or disable it and manually render it with camera.Render()

[formal escarp]

wait what

why

[silk night]

Because you are checking for the Default layer

Make your ground a new "Ground" layer

[formal escarp]

ooohh

[silk night]

and set that in the script for the ground check

[verbal dome]

You can draw the rendertexture with a RawImage component @acoustic arch

[formal escarp]

could i not make my player a new layer that is player also?

man thanks a lot

[silk night]

Yes that should work

but you will detect ALL objects that have default as ground then

if you add a weapon and forget to change layer -> detects as ground

[acoustic arch]

oh ok

[formal escarp]

so maybe both then!

alright. thanks a lot man.

[silk night]

Oh yeah, you still need help with the double jump you came here for initially or you gonna figure it out on your own now that the ground check works? 😄

[formal escarp]

i think i figured it out

[acoustic arch]

anyone have tips for displaying my 2D character in the inventory, with all the child object sprites on it too

[swift crag]

one option would be a render texture: you'd make a camera that renders ONLY the player

you can render onto a texture, instead of the screen

and then just display that texture

[acoustic arch]

yeah that sounds alright

[acoustic arch]

how would i do it?

[silk night]

https://img.sidia.net/ZEyI5/qUcEXAnE78.mp4/raw

using Sirenix.OdinInspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class InstanceTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject Instance;

    [Button]
    public void Spawn()
    {
        Instantiate(Instance, transform);
    }
}

Just call instantiate on an already existing object, it will copy it 1:1

[acoustic arch]

would that update in the menu?

[swift crag]

Create a RenderTexture asset. Add a new camera that targets that render texture. Set its Culling Mask to only render the player's layer (you may need to create a new layer for the player here)

Then you can use the RenderTexture anywhere that a normal texture would be used, like an Image component

[silk night]

What menu do you mean?

Also be careful, that will also duplicate all scripts

[swift crag]

it sounds like you want to display the player in a UI

in that case, you would need to be able to draw the player in an Image

[acoustic arch]

yes

[swift crag]

I guess you could try just gluing the entire player object into the inventory menu

[acoustic arch]

how do i make the camera only target the render texture

[swift crag]

assign the render texture here

[swift crag]

But the UI would, by default, draw on top of the player. So you'd need to use a "Screen Space - World" UI.

[acoustic arch]

oh ok

and it will update as the players armor and other stuff changes on the player design?

[silk night]

yes

its like a live-stream of your character

[swift crag]

indeed

[acoustic arch]

oh cool

[swift crag]

Assuming all of the player's gear is being rendered by the camera.

You might just have a layer that all "entities" are on

not just the player

that would be close enough

[acoustic arch]

how do i use the RenderTexture

[swift crag]

.

[copper perch]

https://youtu.be/O6_i4BOaLtM I made a better particle system for the bat attack what do you think?
keep the embers?

I finished big hit zombie, should I keep the flames on the bat?
or no flames?
Made this YouTube video for you to see it.

[acoustic arch]

i can just select it inside where the player image in the inventory is

[silk night]

#archived-works-in-progress

[swift crag]

oh, your'e right: it's not a sprite

use RawImage

[acoustic arch]

ah ok

[swift crag]

RawImage can't do everything an Image can (e.g. it can't do a sliced or filled image)

but it can use any texture

[acoustic arch]

just change the output?

[summer stump]

That channel, or #archived-game-design

[copper perch]

thanks

[swift crag]

set the camera's "Target Texture" to your render texture

Hi so im trying to make it that if my player presses a key it enters a door. but the problem is when the person hits the key while inside the collison box it does not work, it only works if the player holds the key and then enters the Collison box. I want to make it that it only happens if they are inside the box.

Like im trying to have it when the person is inside the collison and when they hit the key then the operation happens

Hmm. It shouldn't. It will run every frame the person is inside the collider

[swift crag]

you used it when?

if the answer isn't "right now", go and change it and try it.

[elfin eagle]

oh wait it does work but I have to be moving inside the collider for it to work

[swift crag]

oh, this is 2D

i know that rigidbodies fall asleep...very aggressively

consider setting this to "Never Sleep" on the player

[elfin eagle]

ohhhhh that worked

dang rigidbody went to sleep 😦

thanks

[swift crag]

💤

I do very little 2D, but I found out about this while helping someone with a similar problem once

[elfin eagle]

yeah Im trying 2D out for fun

I like it so far

[swift crag]

Rigidbodies being able to sleep is a good thing -- it means the physics system can stop worrying about them until something hits them again

but it messes up trigger colliders, and there's generally just one player

not 300 of them

[elfin eagle]

ohh ok so like will it then take less memory or like resources then

i only intend on using on the player

[swift crag]

Less processing time.

The rigidbody is sleeping, so it doesn't need to have forces calculated

[elfin eagle]

alright thanks for the help again

[swift crag]

np!

Im making a 3d characters camera rotate based on the delta change of the camera, but at the start it has a huge shift and sometimes messes up the camera rotation

is there a way to set the cursor to the middle so it doesnt do that?

i set the cursor to locked in start but that doesnt seem to fix it

[ashen ferry]

I wonder is it possible to do anything so my lil rotating icon wouldnt freeze when loading scenes and running all the awakes/starts and such

[teal viper]

For loading scenes, there's async loading. For awake and start, you might need to spread your initialization over several frames if it takes too long.

[ashen ferry]

how can you spread it over some time

I guess spawning in gameobjects little by little

[teal viper]

You can make awake/start into coroutines or async methods.
Identify the scripts that take most time to initializes and spread them over several frames. If it's spawning objects, yield after a certain number of objects is spawned.

Could also maybe use the system time to yield after certain amount of time(like 10ms) or something

[ashen ferry]

Aaa cool ty

Trying to make it so camera rotates 90 degrees by pressing keys, and it works when I'm trying to turn right (d key). But whenever I press "a" the camera spins infinitely, what's wrong with my code? https://paste.ofcode.org/ZqMdFiMZbbsi2wVJ3kRXck

[keen dew]

You can't take the current rotation from transform.eulerAngles. You need a separate variable to track that.

[verbal dome]

Yeah, also MoveTowardsAngle instead of MoveTowards @fluid mural

So it loops around 360 degrees correctly

hi, how can i create and work on an instance of a material? I have a shdaer and i want to have different texture for each unit slot

    private Material mat;
    
    private void Start()
    {
        mat = unitImageGrayScale.material;
        if(mat != null )
            mat.SetTexture("_MainTex", unitImage.mainTexture);
    }

this doesn't work its still not an instance

[teal viper]

A renderer holds reference to it's material. When you use the material property, the renderer creates a new instance of the material.
Check the renderer component documentation.

[rare basin]

I am doing that, no?

getting's renderer (image) material

[teal viper]

Ah, if it's an image it's a different story. You can't mess with the material as it uses a different workflow. UI rendering is handled by the canvas.

If you just need to set a sprite for the Image component, it has a property for that. No need to access the material.

[rare basin]

I dont want to set an image

I have a Grayscale Shader that takes Texture2D

and i want to get the texture from the sprite of the Image and assign it to the shader's material instance

because right now it changes to the same texture for all images :/

and each slow has different unit assigned

okay nvm _MainText automatically gets it from the image

[queen adder]

does unity have builtin methods for manipulating sprites? like flip horizontal/vertically?

[teal viper]

They have flipX iirc. Not sure about y.

[queen adder]

how?

[timber tide]

it's on the sprite renderer

[queen adder]

ah yea, me dont wanna use that :>

so i was curious if there's something like SpriteUtility something

[timber tide]

yeah im not too sure how it works on the sprite renderer

but if it's flipping the UVs, I guess there's some extra logic to keep it instance independent

[queen adder]

actually theres an actual spriteutility class lol

[timber tide]

probably modifies the mesh UVs or something

[queen adder]

just not useful for this though

[flint pilot]

Good evening everyone, sorry for this question, I would need some help regarding a mini project but since this is the first time I put my hand to code for VR I would like to know if someone could write the code for me so I can reverse engineer. I need to create some basic interactions for VR but without using external plugins, these interactions I need to take apart the bolts of a car and change the tire. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.

[keen dew]

That's a really big ask. I doubt you'll find anyone willing to do that.

You'd have more luck if you tried it yourself and then asked specific things when you get stuck

[winter shore]

Hello, in if, I wanted to make sure you must have these conditions. I used "&&" for that, but does not work. Is there another way to address this issue ?

[rare basin]

just use SpriteRenderer.flipX

why do you want to do it on Sprite type

Sprites themself don't have "flip" properties

Dash isn't consistent! I'm calling the Dash function on PlayerInput script. How can I call it in FixedUpdate (because this is physics based)

    private IEnumerator DashCoroutine()
    {
        canMove = false;
        isDashing = true;
        rb.velocity = direction * dashSpeed;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(dashDuration);
        rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
        isDashing = false;
        canMove = true;
    }```

You first need to configure your !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

• VS Code*
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

*VS Code's debugger plugin is unsupported.
We recommend using VS or Rider instead.

[north kiln]

Then note that SetActive is not a condition. The function returns nothing

[winter shore]

Oh ok. Thanks.

[spare umbra]

Should I multiply the velocity be Time.DeltaTime or FixedDelteTime?

[gaunt ice]

the unit of velocity is already m/s, if you multiple it with time it will becomes m, ie displacement

[winter shore]

By the way, which should I choose in the 3 options ?

I'm in Mac.

[north kiln]

Choose the IDE that you're using

there are 5 options

[winter shore]

Ok, I already did this. Where do I note for the SetActive condition ?

[north kiln]

what condition, there is no condition, the method returns nothing. Did you mean to use .activeInHierarchy or similar?

[winter shore]

Yes, exactly. In Hierarchy.

hi guys! I am trying to spawn my players in random places but it seems I have some issues with Random.Range and I don't quite understand why my editor is not happy with it. transform.position = new Vector2(Random.Range(positionRangeSpawn,-positionRangeSpawn), Random.Range(positionRangeSpawn, -positionRangeSpawn));

I keep getting this "'Random' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.Random' and 'System.Random'"

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs0104

[true thorn]

yeah, read that..but I still don't undestand where is the issue and what should I remove / replace

[north kiln]

Are you using the System namespace?

[true thorn]

yep

[north kiln]

What needs it?

If nothing, remove it.

[true thorn]

oh

[north kiln]

If you need it, specify the namespace you're using either via an alias, or when you access the type

[true thorn]

got it

thanks

I have a question. If I define the boundaries of an object in the start method, through bounds, and then bind these boundaries to a certain point, which will take the rotation and position of the object on which the script hangs, will the boundaries be superimposed on the object?
Because if you run an update in the method, then the boundaries will not be bounds, they will not follow the object, but will be, as it were, like a cube described around the figure, which does not change its rotation, which means that it will not actually be superimposed on the object, along its boundaries.

I just have a cube for which I need to constantly know the positions of the upper corners, and if I use bounds, then during rotation the points are not in the right place

Can I define bounds once in the start method and then bind them to a point?

[tender stag]

how do i make this run once?

its in update

[gaunt ice]

use an additional bool to guard

[verbal dome]

Run it when you change durability

I mean when the durableItem.Durability gets changed

[gaunt ice]

and you can write as follow:

if(x is A a)

[verbal dome]

Btw you can type if(item is IDurable durableItem)

Yeah that

[tender stag]

the problem is that i run it the objects in player hands

like gun script

so the item doesnt know which slot its in

only the slot knows what item its holding

[tender stag]

so look i got this gun script

and in my hotbar manager i handle like enabling the correct game objects in players hands

and OnEnable i cast the item

and when i shoot i just do this

[gaunt ice]

wait you check durability of holding item in update? i think you can change it to event driven

[verbal dome]

Thats what im saying

[tender stag]

i maybe could do that

[gaunt ice]

yes

[tender stag]

but then what about items for example which have the durability decay?

like food items

over time the durability will decrease

[gaunt ice]

timer in update

[tender stag]

how does it know which slot to update?

durability

items do not know about slots

[verbal dome]

Sounds like you need to redesign your item system a bit

[gaunt ice]

you can update all registered items in slot (btw not sure your code structure), if the item is broken or expired then deregister it from your slot

[thick goblet]

I have a cube with 3 lanes similar to subway surfers. When I click A I want the player to move to the left lane and D for the player to switch to the right lane. My script somewhat works except sometimes my input doesn't register and it just sometimes glitches and doesn't respond how I want it to. What's the problem? https://hatebin.com/mrgynyiqfr

[languid spire]

Nothing wrong with that code. Do you have other code that also affects the same game object?
