No, but in my case how i'm i supposed to update constantly the position of each player because i have only one script that decript the coordinate of each player, because if i dont get the coordinate of each player how are they gona move, I dont really understand where u want to bring me with ur Idea of hire a personne every day.

[rich adder]

you have to save the value of the PP Volume slider

[rich adder]

we use something called caching and store each player we need somewhere and access them. But Idk what multiplayer you're doing that requires all this stuff. You're better off using at least Netcode and start there

[eternal needle]

Which part of your script is even multiplayer? Every multiplayer solution will have some way to sync transforms directly and what you're showing doesnt even do that.

This script just is constantly doing unnecessary Get and Finds

[warm raptor]

I'm using web socket and i made m'y own serveur

[eternal needle]

You shouldnt try to make your own solution unless you realllllly know what you're doing

[rich adder]

building it with websockets is like using a paintbrush to paint a building instead of those industrial size paint sprays

start with Netcode or something

I'm gonna take a wild guess that your rigidbody is too fast and you need to at least enable Continious collision checking on rigidbody

[eternal needle]

Just for start, using gameobject.find to look for the player isnt gonna give you what you expect always. Once you add a 2nd player, this breaks

[rich adder]

yeah you would not use a string of "Player" you would not be able to distinguish who . They're all technically "Player"

a copy of each other

[acoustic arch]

https://hatebin.com/ygzyeeyjhz
so i made progress on my inventory, but how do i set the itemInSlot to the item in the inventory in a way that it can eventually be moved around?

[rich adder]

this is not what was mentioned yesteday @acoustic arch

why are you storing gameobjects

thats the most useless type to store in unity

[acoustic arch]

oh

[rich adder]

any script on a gameobject has reference to that object / transform

[warm raptor]

Ok so I explain how m'y multiplayer work:
So i have m'y FPS caracter that retrieve is coordinates and rotation After the script send the coordinates of the player to the serveur, the serveur give an Id to the new connected player. After the serveur send back the coordinates of all player except ur own message to the script the script decript the message and update the variable ID X Y Z if the Id is not in the list of connected player, the script created a new clone of ennemie player with a script were the ID of the ennemis is referenced.
And After for each message that the main script receive each clone look if the message has the same ID as what they have and if it's the case the clone get the coordinate and apply them to himself
So that basicly how it work
Again sry for my Bad english

[acoustic arch]

should it be the Slot component on the object?

[rich adder]

well yeah because its a slot.

[acoustic arch]

alr

i did that at first

[rich adder]

You still have 2 lists/arrays

[acoustic arch]

but then how do i change the actual slots sprite to show it?

[rich adder]

you have a reference to the image component on the slot via the Slot script

which gets it from the assets's SO

[acoustic arch]

ah

[rich adder]

the SO should store things like name, stats, info, and icons /sprites

[acoustic arch]

yeah it does

[rich adder]

so then yeah you're literally overcomplicating it with having 2 lists to manage n all that

[eternal needle]

Regardless of what you explain here, the script you wrote is not suitable for multiplayer because you are using Gameobject.find to look for the player. Once you have many players, this will not work.
Also you are doing the same .Find many times in one method, just cache the result because it's not gonna change between those lines of code

[acoustic arch]

oh yeah well how do i do it instead with just one?

[rich adder]

lol Like I said many times. It should just be a list of Slot

slot has all the info you ever need

Inventory deals with slots

it only means logical sense to have a List<Slot>

[acoustic arch]

ohhhh yeah cuase the slot already stores the item

mb

[rich adder]

exactamundo

[acoustic arch]

alright

[rich adder]

and Image should only be dealt from Slot

inventory should not care about Image components

it is the logic

eg adding / removing items to slot

[acoustic arch]

yeah

which is a lot simpler than what i was doing beforehand

my code no longer looks gross

[rich adder]

🙂 yea it helps when things are neatly encapsulated

[alpine mortar]

its a custom script

[rich adder]

then what is going on here

brightness.TryGetSettings(out exposure);

all this is unecessary

all you had to do was reference Volume

and tie it to slider

save the value in playerprefs, done

[alpine mortar]

}

like this?

[rich adder]

wat

how's that Volume component

[alpine mortar]

what is Volume

[rich adder]

so you couldnt ask for this earlier instead of just doing w/e you thought was correct 🤔

[alpine mortar]

srry man

[rich adder]

oh this is the old PPv2 stack..

Why didn't you say BrightNess is your Volume

[alpine mortar]

now you know

[warm raptor]

Ok I will try my best to optimise my code (btw i also tried with 3 people connected at the same Time and it work 😅)

[rich adder]

anyway what exactly isn't working ? @alpine mortar

[acoustic arch]

https://hatebin.com/oyplzkpaoq
alright changed it so now it should be correct, but im not sure how i would add items into my inventory then? just find the first slot that doesnt have any item in it and put it in there i assume?

[alpine mortar]

that when I change scenes the brightness doesnt work and when I go back to options the brightness resets

[rich adder]

also which slider are you chaning since this old processing is different

[alpine mortar]

and no, i dont know how to use playerprefs

[rich adder]

No I mean is it working when you slide it in the scene

because I dont see the Black Color from Color Adjustment

[rich adder]

make a thread real quick

[alpine mortar]

in the options menu it works

in other screens it doesnt

[rich adder]

ok so save the value into PlayerPrefs or something like that

[alpine mortar]

.

[rich adder]

I've seen it in your script wdym you dont now how

[alpine mortar]

I don't know how

[rich adder]

PlayerPres.SetFloat("myslidervalue", slideravalue)

PlayerPrefs.Save

[alpine mortar]

you mean slider value instead of slideravalue?

void Start()
    {
        brightness.TryGetSettings(out exposure);
        AdjustBrightness(BrightnessSlider.value);
        PlayerPres.SetFloat("myslidervalue", slider value)
        PlayerPrefs.Save;
    }

[rich adder]

uh

BrightnessSlider.value

also dont copy myslidervalue lol

its an example

name it something smarter

like BrightnessSliderValue

[quick swift]

hi! i think this is a simple fixable thing but ive been half an hour trying to fix it and cant seem to get to the answer, can someone help me?
basically when i press play the charater moves, everything good but the only thing that is not working is the direction the character is facing, its always facing left instead of forward and cant make it look the other way

the problem seems to be in the code, since even if i change the rotation of the model itself it starts facing left as soon as i move it, the code is the next one

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Playermovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController controller;
    public Transform cam;
    public float speed = 6f;
    public float turnSmoothTime = 0.1f;
    float turSmoothVelocity;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;

        if(direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
        {
            float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y;

            float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);

            Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle, 0f) * Vector3.forward;
            controller.Move(moveDir.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }
}

and sorry for the walltext

[alpine mortar]

@rich adder I've done it but it says "error CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await, and new object expressions can be used as a statement"

re reference, the last bracket is line 22

[wintry quarry]

what is PlayerPrefs.Save; supposed to be?

[rich adder]

ah wops

how i miss that

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.Save.html
@alpine mortar

notice anything different

[alpine mortar]

I have to put "public static void Save();"

[rich adder]

uh no

its a method

and what do we do with methods

[alpine mortar]

put it at the start?

[rich adder]

lol

[wintry quarry]

how do you call a method/function in C#?

note that every other line of code in your example is calling one

correctly

except that last one

()?

[rich adder]

no cheating

[alpine mortar]

()

I didnt cheat

I fugured it out

[alpine mortar]

thx tho

np i was insecure of the answer tho lmao

[rich adder]

when in doubt look into C# docs

you're only saving it

you have to load it ?

you also need to trigger an event to load on scene changes

luckily unity has one built in

[opal fossil]

box or capsule collider for better detection if rigidbody is groundded?

[rich adder]

I would not use colliders for that

something like Physics cast

or overlap

[opal fossil]

im not using it to directly detect. its just that there was an issue raycasting down for a box collider when my character was standing on a slope.

the program thought my character wasnt grounded

[wintry quarry]

sounds like an issue with your raycast, not the collider

[opal fossil]

Physics.Raycast(rigidbody.transform.position, Vector3.down, collider.bounds.extents.y + 0.1f);

this is the code I used. works perfectly on smooth surfaces, but not on slopes

[bitter carbon]

Is it 2d or 3d

[opal fossil]

3d

[bitter carbon]

Ok

Idrk as i dont do it that way and am currently mostly using 2d

[rich adder]

the best thing to do when in doubt is to debug your raycasts(adding visual debugs) to make sure they are where we think they are

[wintry quarry]

right because collider.bounds.extents.y + 0.1f will not necessarily reach the ground then

you probably should use a BoxCast instead of a Raycast if your collider is box shaped

[opal fossil]

why didnt i think of that? I'll give it a shot

[dull eagle]

Hey everyone, is there a way to change a prefab for a gameobject during runtime similar to have you can change the prefab in the inspector with the '+' button?

[teal viper]

Probably via the editor API, but you cant include that in the build.

[slender nymph]

just fyi modding discussions are not allowed here. you are better off asking for help with your anti cheat stuff in the modding community for SCP:SL

[limpid kestrel]

Okay, thx

[elfin eagle]

I'm having this problem where when I load this scene my camera zooms out very far, I don't have this problem anywhere else when I load in a new scene so im not sure what is happening here

[slender nymph]

show any relevant code

[elfin eagle]

 if (collision.CompareTag("BlacksmithTeleporter") && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
 {
     SceneManager.LoadScene(2);
     transform.position = new Vector2(1.994f, -1.569f);
 }

[slender nymph]

this code does not seem related to your camera's positioning

[elfin eagle]

oh my bad. im using cinemachine and it just follows the player

[rich adder]

Lens ortho size

where do you change that

[slender nymph]

why is the orthographic size so small?

[rich adder]

yeah thats hella zoomed out

[slender nymph]

smaller would be zoomed in, no?

[rich adder]

oh yeah ur right mb

[slender nymph]

which makes this even weirder. are their objects just incredibly tiny?

[rich adder]

super tiny lol

[slender nymph]

i bet they are using like 16x16 or 32x32 sprites and just left the PPU at 100

[rich adder]

@elfin eagle do you change the ortho size anywhere ? or maybe switch cam

[elfin eagle]

im using 16x16 sprites

[rich adder]

but what is PPU size

[slender nymph]

then change the pixels per unit size on the sprite importer to be 16 instead of 100

[elfin eagle]

ohh ok that worked thanks. for some reason it was changed

[ashen ferry]

is there clean way to change number into nearest one which would divide into whole numbers with chosen x, idk whats the word in english lol. 49 would be 48 since 16 * 3 is closest, 60 would be 64 now cause 16 * 4 is closer than 16 * 3 whats the name for that

[slender nymph]

the default is 100 pixels per unit. you want that to be set on your sprites to the number of pixels that should take up 1 unit of space. since your sprites are 16x16 you would probably want all 16 pixels to occupy a single unit of space so the PPU setting should be 16

[queen adder]

how bad is this for a monobehaviour constructor?

[slender nymph]

well considering unity won't be calling it, i'd say it's 100% pointless

[frosty hound]

Monobehaviours can't have a constructor

[queen adder]

yea just a getaway

[slender nymph]

or do you mean this is supposed to act like a ctor since it isn't actually one?

[queen adder]

to instantiate a new one and plug what you do like how you would with a ctor

[queen adder]

yes

[slender nymph]

i'd personally return the instance after doing all that, but there's nothing inherently bad about it

[queen adder]

ah yea returning it can be a good addition

wait is it ?

huh some sync issue in discord

thats funny

[queen adder]

internet has always been messing with emoji spam ever since

anyways

best way to learn c# is from docs itself

[rich adder]

painnnn

[queen adder]

there's a LOOOT examples and detailed to core

yea, have to practice tolerance though

[slender nymph]

just reading the c# documentation isn't super useful if you don't know how the language works at a fundamental level though. but there are some basic c# courses on the microsoft site which are a good way to get started with learning

[rich adder]

yeah even some simple C# function microsoft goes way too overcomplicated with example

[austere monolith]

which channel is the tutorial on?

[unreal imp]

guys i have a problem,im making that if my object is near an explosion is set on fire and after the particle is destroyed the object explodes,but now im doing that if you get the object already in fire near an explosion its explodes with no time

but now the problem is that the explosion cause that the objects are destroyed by one

ignoring the first script

i have a bad english,i will send the script

you all know it xd

[heady nimbus]

Weird collider interaction question.

If you instantiate an object with a trigger collider, but parent it off something with its own collider, would you expect the new objects collider to behave the same as the parent..?

[unreal imp]

Here are the parts that may have problems (if you ask me, I will send the complete script): if (col.CompareTag("Toilet") && !col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().isInFire) { Vector3 direction = col.transform.position - transform.position; float distance = direction.magnitude; float forceFactor = 1f - (distance / explosionRadius * 2); float appliedForce = explosionForce * forceFactor; col.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(direction.normalized * appliedForce, ForceMode.Impulse); col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().setOnFire(); } if (col.CompareTag("Toilet") && col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().isInFire) { col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().hitsReceived = col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().maximalHitsToDestroy; }

the setOnFire method: public void setOnFire() { isInFire = true; if (isInFire) { fire = Instantiate(fireParticles, transform); //fire.transform.position = gameObject.transform.position; Destroy(fire, random2); } }

[heady nimbus]

Short version: Instantiating a melee weapon off the player, but the weapons collider is picking up the players knockback behavior instead of respecting that it's supposed to be a trigger collider

[rich adder]

man you should start using interfaces

IDestructable or something

where is anything thats supposed to delay anything?

[unreal imp]

[unreal imp]

is something simple,i used the OnDestroy method to the script attached to the fire particle to access to the parent component that make it explodes

[rich adder]

not really sure what is supposed to happening?

[unreal imp]

and obviously i added a delay of delete the fire with the setOnFire method

[rich adder]

what do you need to do

[unreal imp]

copying the gmod barrels behaviour like another times

I am in the characteristic part that they catch fire when they receive an explosion then explodes and if they are already on fire they explode without cooldown

[rich adder]

I have no idea where these methods are, u have to share whole script

col.CompareTag("Toilet") && !col.GetComponent<ToiletBehaviour>().isInFire()

if you already check ToiletBehaviour its probably not even necessary to use tag as well

if(col.TryGetComponent(out ToiletBehaviour toilet))
{
    if(toilet.isInFire){
        //stuff if in fire
}else {
//stuff if not in fire
}

if (direction < 0)
{
    direction = 360 + direction;
}

I have this code to make sure the angles always stay positive
however, when playing the game, the inspector shows negative values
does unity auto convert angles?
like it the angle is 315, does it make it -45?

[polar acorn]

The inspector shows a rotation that expresses that orientation

There are literally infinitely many

[north kiln]

Angles read in code may differ from those displayed in the Inspector, this is because they are derived from the internal representation, which is a Quaternion.

[polar acorn]

Don't ever depend on the inspector rotation being a specific value. Keep track of your own angles and then set the eulerAngles yourself. Don't read from it and expect a single value to behave

[north kiln]

the inspector often displays user-authored rotations which have not undergone any transformation. You can set rotations beyond 180°, as what you see here is for authoring convenience. However, Quaternions don't over-rotate, and their representation is completely different though they both represent the same orientation.
Because the inspector can also show authored values you can easily confuse yourself believing that's what's actually happening at runtime; but in reality they're just an editor-only tool

[torpid herald]

In Visual Studio there's solutions and projects. I know I'll need multiple projects for each game so should I be making a solution for the entire game and putting all the projects in there, or does it not matter?

[teal viper]

You shouldn't touch the solution/projects when working with unity. They are generated by unity automatically and even if you make changes, they would probably not be reflected in the unity project.

[late burrow]

when i access dictionary["something"] does it both create new entry if this doesnt exist and overwrites existing one?

[cosmic dagger]

if you're accessing it, then you're attempting to retrieve the value based on the supplied key . . .

[late burrow]

yes but when writing

it works both when not exist and exist?

[cosmic dagger]

you can't create/add a new entry unless you write to it . . .

[late burrow]

yes write

[teal viper]

Accessing a non existing key would throw an error

[late burrow]

strange i tested and it not errors

[teal viper]

Regardless of whether you're reading or writing.

[late burrow]

dictionary["thing"] = "abc"

[teal viper]

Ah, nvm. Get and set are different.

With set it would work apparently.

[cosmic dagger]

when using dict[key], this will overwrite the existing value or create a new value with the key . . .

[late burrow]

cool it will make code much cleaner

[cosmic dagger]

if using dict.Add and you pass a duplicate key, you'll receive an error. there's a difference between the two, so make sure you use them correctly . . .

[late burrow]

yes i notice add errors

so setting better

[cosmic dagger]

if you're not supposed to add/have a duplicate key, then using Add is safer as that will produce an error. using the Set method will overwrite the value . . .

only use Set if you can (allow) overwrite the value of a duplicate key . . .

[wicked cairn]

How do I add reference? (mysql)

[north kiln]

You can't modify that via an IDE. You are using the default assembly, which automatically references every valid plugin in the project

If you used assembly definitions you could control that manually in Unity

[wicked cairn]

Darn. Well, How can I add the mysql references?

I download the dll

[north kiln]

And is the DLL in a Plugins folder and functioning properly?

[wicked cairn]

oh. I create a plugins folder in Assets and add the dll?

ok added

In the script theres no errors but in the console it has this

[north kiln]

You have to include every assembly it requires until all the dependencies are satisfied

[wicked cairn]

ive only found one on google but its from 7 years ago. Not sure where to get the dependencies

[rich adder]

why not just use sqllite ?

works very well in unity and its like 1 or 2 dlls

[wicked cairn]

because im not storing it locally

[rich adder]

huh you're putting a remote db with dll ?

[wicked cairn]

ive written the php and can read data from the sql table but unity wont let me write the data without the imports

[rich adder]

I'm not familiar with php, can't you do like in JS where you can use express to make Api endpoints to interact with db?

that would only require unitywebrequest

[wintry quarry]

What? There's no reason to need a MySQL lib in Unity if it's your PHP web app doing the actual interaction with the SQL database

In fact your client app should absolutely not speak directly to the database

Certainly not write to it

If your Unity app can write to the database that implies you are shipping your database credentials with your app which is 😱😱

[wicked cairn]

admin panel

its only a build for me

[teal viper]

To write to a database, you need a key or something similar to be included in your app. But that means, that anyone can retrieve that key and write to your database whatever they want.

[wicked cairn]

I said its on a php file

[teal viper]

Then you don't need to access the db from unity as Praetor pointed out.

You just make a web request to your server to write or read data. The server handles accessing the db.

PHP implies you have a server somewhere.

Unless you're talking about something else.

[wicked cairn]

I do

I was trying to use sockets at first but it doesnt seem to work with unity.

and ig its not safe if it includes a ip

[teal viper]

IP is not a problem if you have a proper network setup server side.

Still not quite clear what you mean when you say that you have a PHP, but no server.

[wicked cairn]

"I do"

[teal viper]

You do have a server?

[wicked cairn]

I do

[teal viper]

I though the "I do" was answering the "unless you mean something else".😅

[teal viper]

Then you access your db on the server.

[wicked cairn]

Was trying to write that to send the command to db. didnt work tho lol

But I guess last case, in the public build do web request 😞

[teal viper]

Shouldn't be doing that. Expose your own API to update the user data or whatever. Then the server should compose the SQL command and access the database.

[wicked cairn]

Ill write it as web request I guess. I just wanted shorter code lol

But yea I have a web server and dedicated host. I need the sql data to go between the host and game

[teal viper]

Let's build a nuclear rocket silo, but put the launch button on the wall outside, because it's more convenient - it saves us time entering the facility.

[wicked cairn]

yea. i mean if its faster

[teal viper]

Nevermind that anyone walking by can press the button.

[frozen mantle]

anyone have experience with convex mesh colliders with Rigidbodies attached to them causing some weird issues?

[teal viper]

What issues?

[wind phoenix]

i am facing issue with coin reset

it doesnt go back to 0

after run is over

https://gdl.space/uduwocedod.cpp

this is my coin script

[rich adder]

because its static

[wind phoenix]

how to fix that?

[rich adder]

make it not static or explicitly set it to 0

[frozen mantle]

so, i fixed it by just removing the RigidBody (idk why it was attached to my health pick up in the first place...) but im curious as to what caused the issue.

Basically, i have a health pick that has a mesh Collider attached to is set to Convex and also is a trigger. I have the follow script attached to it as well (https://gdl.space/neloxorafo.cs), and the aforementioned rigid body. basically, when the player would walk over the health pick up and they are on full health. the pick up would stay there as intended, but when I look down and therefore have my viewModel gun start touching it, it starts to throw a NullReferenceException on line 43 of my script. This issue goes away when i remove the rigid body. I was just curious as to what was causing the issue in the first place?

[wind phoenix]

that produce lot of errors

xD

[frozen mantle]

what other scripts reference this class?

and why is it static in the first place?

[rich adder]

probably because they don't know how to properly pass variables with references

[summer stump]

A change like that requires refactoring.

[frozen mantle]

https://www.techopedia.com/definition/4913/static-c#

idk how experiences of a programmer you are, but maybe you can find some useful information in the article above

Static is a pretty specific modifier to use, and has alotta weirdness to it

[frozen mantle]

how do you pass variables properly?

i would probably just do something dumb like CollactableControl.coinCount = 0 or something

[wind phoenix]

https://gdl.space/wezadeyola.cpp

this one

[frozen mantle]

what is the error you are getting?

[wind phoenix]

after i make variable non static

it shows reference required

[rich adder]

yes so make a reference

[wind phoenix]

i have script named

otherscript

and reference to collectablecontrol script

still it shows error

[rich adder]

when you make a reference to the script you have to access the methods/variables through the reference

[final hamlet]

hello, i'm working on a tower defense game and want to make the tower's collider change according to its range since i'm using it for enemy detection. how would i go about setting the collider size once the tower prefab is instantiated?

[wintry quarry]

1. Get a reference to your collider
2. modify whatever "size" property you want to modify. For example for a SphereCollider that would be the radius

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SphereCollider-radius.html

[final hamlet]

public float range = 10f;
public SphereCollider detectionZone;

void Start()
{
    detectionZone = GetComponent<SphereCollider>();
    detectionZone.radius = range;
    InvokeRepeating("UpdateTarget", 0f, 0.5f);
}

like that?

[summer stump]

When you say a reference to CollectableControl, how do you do that? It's more than just making a variable for it.

You may wanna check out this link
https://unity.huh.how/programming/references

[wintry quarry]

sure except there's no reason in this example for detectionZone to be a member variable.

or alternatively there's no reason to use GetComponent it it's a public member variable since you can assign it in the inspector

[final hamlet]

the idea is that once a tower is upgraded, its range can increase. or can i just directly call the collider and increase it without the variable?

im a bit confused by what you mean by inspector

[wintry quarry]

well if you will use the reference multiple times, it's good to have the variable

however you should decide whether it's going to be assigned in the inspector or just with GetComponent

if you're using GetComponent there's no reason for it to be public

[final hamlet]

thats what im confused by. doesn't GetComponent grab and return the item from the prefab?

[wintry quarry]

It gets a component from the GameObject, yes

what's confusing you exactly?

[final hamlet]

this

as in assigning the size?

[wintry quarry]

no assigning the reference

The only reason to use public on your variable is if:

• You want to assign the variable in the inspector
• you want to access this reference from another script

neither of those seem to be the case here

so you should remove public from the variable

public SphereCollider detectionZone;

[final hamlet]

ahh i see

i understand that theres no need for detectionZone to be public now, but is there really any need for it in the first place? or can i just access the collider size directly via the gameObject

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "directly via the gameObject"

[final hamlet]

i think im just getting tripped up by how gameobjects and their components work

[final hamlet]

do i need to use GetComponent to modify the collider from within the script

[wintry quarry]

You need a reference to the collider to modify it in the script. GetComponent is one way to get a reference to the collider

Saving the reference in a variable means you don't have to call GetComponent repeatedly which is both ugly and bad for performance

[final hamlet]

ahh okay, that was gonna be my next question

thank you

[wind phoenix]

its resetting now

but at end of my run is over panel it shows 0 coins

nvm fixed thanks guys @rich adder @frozen mantle

[frozen mantle]

[sullen rock]

https://gdl.space/ziqocobure.cs

why does the "instantiated.GO" still hold the reference to the prefab and not the gameobject I actually instantiated?

[slender nymph]

at no point does it reference a prefab

[sullen rock]

the _product.GO is a prefab

[slender nymph]

okay, but yet you do not pass the Product instance a reference to a prefab anywhere in the code you've shown

[sullen rock]

I know and thats what´s confusing me

[slender nymph]

how do you know the instance you created references a prefab?

[sullen rock]

I am trying to disable colliders later down the line by looping through the thisSectionProducts list and it is editing the prefabs themselves

also, inspectors shows a reference to the prefab, not the instantiated object

[slender nymph]

then you're looking at the wrong instance of the Product struct

[sullen rock]

I am pretty sure I am not

[slender nymph]

and i'm pretty sure you're wrong

show the relevant code where you are actually experiencing this behavior

[sullen rock]

Ive found the issue, it is the line 11 in the snippet I sent

there it is adding the product instance with the prefab as reference to the list I am looping through

[keen dew]

You can use AI as much as you want with your own projects. Coming here and trying to "help" other people by copy-pasting garbage from ChatGPT is not allowed. Or asking for help with code that was entirely AI-generated.

[slender nymph]

Well there you go. Now you know that it wasn't the Product instance you were creating and storing in your instantiated local variable that was the issue

[near yarrow]

how to deselect inputfield when character is mvoing?

[timber tide]

I forget if it's an event, or if it's strictly on the inputfield, but there's some active element variable you need it switch off

[night mural]

probably you didn't actually follow the tutorial exactly!
make sure you made IInteractable an interface and not a class

[astral topaz]

I follow everything.

[static cedar]

I think interface is a reserved keywork.

Ur trying to make interface a method name?

[night mural]

yeah that should error

configure your IDE

[static cedar]

Also interface type is coloured green, that's probably Visual Studio Code.

[night mural]

and the method should be called Interact...but maybe they were trying to follow my advice by randomply replacing text with the thing i said and it wasn't like that before

[astral topaz]

hmm but already installed this

the unity extension aswell

like 2 years ago

[eternal needle]

do you have intellisense working? that should be an error

[astral topaz]

i dont have that

[topaz mortar]

Use Visual Studio instead of VS Code (if you are) check #854851968446365696

[eternal needle]

intellisense isnt the name of an extension, its just your IDE helping you autocomplete and provide you info about stuff like methods

you may have to update, there was some new development for unity and visual studio code

[topaz mortar]

mate just save yourself the headache and install Visual Studio instead

[astral topaz]

ok

[eternal needle]

i didnt mean vscode itself. the unity extension was updated but it seems like your c# extension wasnt working either. i do as well think visual studio is just better if you are willing to swap

[astral topaz]

im going to swap since i dont really have time to fix vs code

[acoustic sequoia]

HI, I seem to be having issues with something very simple.

OntriggerEnter2d and OnCollisionEnter2d are not working. after following a few tutorials on youtube. it still doesnt work. anyone care to help?

[keen dew]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/2d-physics-messages

[hollow zephyr]

Could someone help me with the Q I asked yd? #💻┃code-beginner message

[acoustic sequoia]

@keen dew lol this does not help

[verbal dome]

How far did you get in that troubleshooting page?

[acoustic sequoia]

@verbal dome I'm still looking through it but it's not helping

[verbal dome]

It covers 99% of issues when it comes to this

[acoustic sequoia]

Ok so now it's working? and i didn't do anything to change it.

does it matter if the collider is above the rigidbody in hierachy?

[verbal dome]

Yes

Collider has to be on the same object as the rigidbody or one of its children

[acoustic sequoia]

i had the collider above it and it wasnt working. switched it and now it works...

no, i mean above it on inspector

[verbal dome]

Inspector order dont matter

[acoustic sequoia]

wait wtf, its not working again!?

i'm not even changing anything

[queen adder]

you are aware that you are the only one seeing your problem, are you?

[acoustic sequoia]

I don't even see my problem..

ok so now it is working but when my player enters the trigger it is pushed back out?

[slender nymph]

show the inspector for both of the objects and any relevant code

[rare basin]

How can I change the speed of this animator "node" through code?

[slender nymph]

if you leave Speed at 1 you can set a parameter for a multiplier and just change that parameter

[rare basin]

Thank you it works fine

[topaz mortar]

probably not a code question, but what would I use to make my item hover window always appear on camera (when the items are near the edge) and are always in front of everything?

[rare basin]

Why doesn't the parameter update live in the Animator window?

    public void SetStatistics()
    {
        attackPower = owner.unitData.attackPower;  
        defencePower = owner.unitData.defencePower;
        moveSpeed = owner.unitData.moveSpeed;
        attackCooldown = owner.unitData.attackCooldown;
        attackRange = owner.unitData.attackRange;
        owner.animator.SetFloat("MoveParam", owner.unitData.moveAnimMultiplier);
        Debug.Log($"{owner.unitData.unitName}: {owner.unitData.moveAnimMultiplier}");
    }

It prints 1 in the console

But shows 0 in the parameters tab

And the movement animation indeed uses 0 speed, animation doesnt play at all, stuck at 1st frame

[rich adder]

probably because you havent selected the animator on the gameobject

[rare basin]

I did

Im not selecting it from assets files

[rare basin]

        owner.animator.SetFloat("MoveParam", owner.unitData.moveAnimMultiplier);
        Debug.Log("Animator moveparam: " + owner.animator.GetFloat("MoveParam"));

The debug.log shows "0"

owner.unitData.moveAnimMultiplier is not 0

[slender nymph]

are you certain you are calling SetFloat on the correct Animator instance?

and that nothing else is assigning to it?

[rare basin]

nothing else, im not modyfing the value anywhere else

[slender nymph]

show all of the relevant code instead of these tiny snippets. you aren't showing enough context to know for sure what the actual issue is

[rare basin]

okay wait

[edgy timber]

i have a doubt
void OnMove(InputValue value)
{
moveInput = value.Get<Vector2>();
Debug.Log(moveInput);
}
in the first line the value from OnMove is getting stored into the "value" of type InputValue right?

[rare basin]

i think i might have referenced the prefab

[slender nymph]

at a guess i'd say you have a reference to the wrng object somewhere

[rare basin]

instead the Unit in hierarchy

[slender nymph]

yeah that'll do it

[slender nymph]

the current state of your input action's Vector2 value will be stored in the moveInput variable

[edgy timber]

got that but am i right about the first line?
void OnMove(InputValue value)

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@0.9/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputValue.html

It exists so that action callback data can be represented as an object, can be reused, and shields the receiver from having to know about action callback specifics.

[edgy timber]

thats not what im asking... im trying to get my head around how functions work...

[rich adder]

you asked about value for the InputValue

[edgy timber]

im asking if the data created in the OnMove function(unity input system) is getting stored into the parameter "value" of type InputValue which is later assigned to "moveInput".

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. you should start there if you do not understand how methods work

[edgy timber]

yes or no would have been more helpfull.....

[rich adder]

it gets stored in InputValue . value is just the name of the object you're accessing..

it can be named joe for all it matters, the value is the same

should def do some beginner c# courses though

[edgy timber]

then the next line would be
moveInput = Joe.Get<Vector2>();
?

[rich adder]

yup

parameter names don't affect the underlying object/data

[edgy timber]

thats all i wanetd to know... phew....

[cloud flume]

anyone know how i could make it so i dont need to leave the ants hit box and come back again just for it to do more damage? i want it to continuously do damage while colliding

my taking damage code

[slender nymph]

OnCollisionStay2D

you'll probably want to add some sort of cooldown though

[stiff stump]

Hey i have an issue with raycasting an im not sure why I am casting my ray here

float distance = Vector2.Distance(transform.position, target.position);
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, target.position, distance, _obstacleLayer);
Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, target.position);

Debug.Log(hit.collider);

and hit.collider is returning null
but when i draw my ray it is hitting the collider and the "wall" is on the obstacle layer

[cloud flume]

yeah one problem at a time haha

[rich adder]

raycast takes a direction not position

[stiff stump]

ah got it working thanks 🙂

[ruby python]

Is there a way to get an object to get the position of an object that is directly in front of it, but with a varying Y position?

[teal viper]

Could get all potential objects, then do a dot product on vector2s

[cloud flume]

right now i have a script on my character detecting if he collides with the enemy he takes damage, shoud i make it so the enemy has the damage on its script instead?

[ruby python]

@teal viper Cool, thanks, will take a look 🙂

[strong wren]

Seems to be more common to deal damage from the objects that are doing the damage dealing.

[ruby python]

Personally, I would have a variable on the enemy with how much damage they cause, and when you collide you grab that variable and adjust your health accordingly (health script on player).

[stable jackal]

in my fps game i set my cursor to

        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;

and when i change scenes i can't seem to click buttons if i press escape, then if i click back, its as it's still locked, how do i unlock it?

[silk night]

You need to manually listen for the escape button and reverse the state changes you made in your code

[stable jackal]

is there a line of code where i can just "unlock" it?

[silk night]

Its basically the same you already did, just another CursorLockMode and visible needs to be true again

[stable jackal]

ah okay thank you

[queen adder]

Hey i have there a question about the createion of texture2D. is it possible to create the texture via code and mark it as read-writeable?

[swift crag]

Any Texture2D created by your code will be read-write enabled, by default

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture-isReadable.html

By default, this is false for texture assets that you import into your project. To toggle this, use the Read/Write Enabled setting in the Texture Import Settings, or set TextureImporter.isReadable.

By default, this is true when you create a texture from a script.

[lilac crow]

hi @swift crag ! its me again.
i just applied gravity to my character and its speed got slow like very slow.
i change the speed to somthing higher but it did nt change much.
any idea how to fix it?

[swift crag]

Show your code.

I can't guess what you've done

[lilac crow]

HEHE my bad !

ill send it

[lilac crow]

here https://gdl.space/amiyokupaz.cs

[swift crag]

Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, gravity , vertical).normalized;

Here is your culprit.

You're normalizing that vector, so its length is always 1

gravity is -9.81, so the vector will wind up being almost entirely pointing in the Y direction.

You should calculate the velocity you get from your movement input

Then also calculate your velocity from gravity

Then add the two together.

Also, this is not the correct way to do gravity: you should be accelerating by -9.81 m/s per second

So, take your vertical velocity from the last step and add -9.81 * Time.deltaTime to it

Vector3 movement = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(controller.velocity, Vector3.up);
Vector3 gravity = Vector3.Project(controller.velocity, Vector3.up);

This separates the old velocity of the controller out into the movement part and the gravity part

[lilac crow]

got it !
oh this dummy have a othe question!

[swift crag]

ProjectOnPlane removes the part of the first vector that aligns with the second vector
Project removes the part of the first vector that doesn't align with the second vector

[lilac crow]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, TargetAngle, 0f);

i did this

but

when i use A and D

my character wont turn

i did the sam as this tutorial

[swift crag]

you used the wrong conversion factor

Mathf.Atan2 returns radians

you used Mathf.Deg2Rad

[lilac crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HpC--2iowE

[swift crag]

so that made the resulting angle even tinier, since Deg2Rad is going to be 2 * pi / 360

[wintry quarry]

Also why is direction made of the horizontal input and gravity?

[swift crag]

that should be separated, yes

[wintry quarry]

Also x and z are reversed in the atan2

[lilac crow]

my noob idiot brain did that

[swift crag]

i think they were backwards last time too

I prefer to not do any trig

Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);

this produces a rotation that makes you look in that direction

[lilac crow]

i should report this toturial .
so many wrong doings in it!

[swift crag]

Aeugh

Here is how I usually do this kind of thing

[lilac crow]

well that wasnt in the code he wrote untill where i need it 😁😁😅😅😅😅😅
dummy me!!!!!!!!!!

[swift crag]

Vector2 moveInput = moveActionRef.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

Vector3 localMove = new Vector3(moveInput.x, 0, moveInput.y);
Vector3 worldMove = Camera.main.transform.TransformDirection(localMove);

worldMove = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(worldMove, Vector3.up);

worldMove = worldMove.normalized * moveInput.magnitude;

The last few lines are necessary because the camera might be pointing up or down, so worldMove will wind up with some up-and-down value. Projecting it with the Y axis fixes that, but that makes the vector shorter. So, I normalize it and multiply it by the original move input's magnitude.

[lilac crow]

@swift crag i think i got it. i try to make it.
sorry to make you annoyed every time.
to be honest it only two weeks since i started to learn unity and c#.

[gilded cradle]

Hey I was working along with a video guide for 2d platformer movement and I seem to have the same thing as the guide yet I am unable to move, anyone willing to help out? (:

https://pastebin.com/ieUuvHnN

my settings in unity and the 2 scripts seperated by a big line in the pastebin for info

[somber wren]

"what is ground" -> "nothing", maybe ?

and "FixedUPdate"

[gilded cradle]

I have nothing set as ground but neither did the video as far as I know

I just got a tilemap collider

Ah the UPdate seemed to be the thing messing it up

[pseudo sable]

it's probably the FixedUPdate, c# is case sensitive so FixedUPdate won't be called

doesn't complain about duplicated method

[somber wren]

any idea on why no of the rays (displayed in red here) detects anything (here is the little code)

the debug.log doesnt show anything

[pseudo sable]

are the two things you want to collsion detect on the correct layer?

(or at least, the wall is on the correct layer as defined by layer)

[somber wren]

everything is on default

here is the call of the function

[pseudo sable]

and silly question but the wall has a collider yeah?

[somber wren]

yes, and the ground too

it detects none of them

[sterile river]

Concerning the camera and its rotation I have a question. what do camerarotation.yaw/pitch do? I found some code in tutorials but it wasn't explained very well 😅 Thats why i wanted to ask you guys

[pseudo sable]

is your vehicle in motion or is it just sitting next to the wall? one thing i can think of is that raycasts don't detect colliders if the origin of the ray is inside the collider so if one ray ends right at the last pixel beside the collider, and the next one starts inside, there won't be a hit detected

if you're moving the arc in and out of the collider and it's still not working then it won't be that

[somber wren]

its moving

i moved it next to the wall with my controller

[pseudo sable]

hmm won't be that then

[somber wren]

it was working at a point but i cant remember what i changed

okay apparenly the "0" in the layer parameter was messing up

okay its working, now i have the problem of my body distance from the ground lmao

[spiral oak]

Hi, this is just a dumb question.
If Im creating a tool, should its assembly have my name in it? How usually tool developers name their assemblies?

[sturdy lintel]

Hey guys, quick help. I have a LineController.cs script which is attached to LinePrefab as:

using UnityEngine;
public class LineController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private SlidersWithEcho slidersRef;
    private Vector3 startPoint, endPoint;
    private string lineType;
    private GameObject TBall;
    public GameObject TravelingBallPrefab;
    private float speed = 6f, lifeSpan = 10f, spawnInterval = 1f, lastSpawnTime;

    void Start()
    {
        slidersRef = GetComponent<SlidersWithEcho>();
        lastSpawnTime = Time.time;

        if (lineType == "AimLine")
        {
            TBall = Instantiate(TravelingBallPrefab, startPoint, Quaternion.identity, this.gameObject.transform.parent.transform);
            TBall.GetComponent<TravellingBalls>().UpdateTravellingBallsDirection(startPoint, endPoint);
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (lineType == "AimLine" && (Time.time - lastSpawnTime) > spawnInterval)
        {
            lastSpawnTime = Time.time;
            TBall = Instantiate(TravelingBallPrefab, startPoint, Quaternion.identity, this.gameObject.transform.parent.transform);
            TBall.GetComponent<TravellingBalls>().UpdateTravellingBallsDirection(startPoint, endPoint);
        }
        else if (lineType == "AimLine" && (Time.time - lastSpawnTime) > lifeSpan)
        {
            Destroy(TBall);
        }
    }

    public void AssignGameObjects()
    {
        endPoint = this.transform.parent.Find("EndPoint").gameObject.transform.localPosition;
        startPoint = this.transform.parent.Find("StartPoint").gameObject.transform.localPosition;
    }
}

I have another script where I manipulate 3 sliders intervalSlider, speedSlider, timeSlider. In above script if I do the below, it throws NullException Error. Moreover I cannot even drag drop the sliders script reference in editor.

if (lineType == "AimLine" && (Time.time - lastSpawnTime) > sliderRef.intervalSlider.value){}

[tender terrace]

is there a way to make this plane controller more precise cause it takes the slightest input and adds the torque to the plane and the whole thing becomes uncontrollable

[languid spire]

Normally the assemblies take the name of the tool being developed. If you want to add you name to something look at the assembly info file

[silk night]

Do you want like a deadzone? Like what is your understanding of more controllable

[tender terrace]

yes, something like that

[queen adder]

Basically i moved all my scripts to another folder and now its says this ☃️

[silk night]

You can check if the Mathf.Abs of your roll is smaller than e.g. 0.3f (30% deadzone)

[languid spire]

you have duplicate scripts

[queen adder]

Ohhh

[spiral oak]

Thank you :>

[tender terrace]

how would you do that in a script

Why do I get "The associated script can not be loaded" on my components after I move their script to a folder named "Editor"?
That's what you are supposed to do with code that touch thing like AssetDatabase, no?
Tried reloading, rebooting, etc. Moving them out of "Editor" folder fix the problem but then I can't build anymore.

[crude prawn]

Input.touch is only for mobile users right? Is there one where i can use for both pc and mobile users?

[sick raven]

Guys, good day :3
Sorry for the stupid question, I'm a newbie game developer ❤️
What's the best way to design level changes for indie platformers? is there any guide? Is it better to do this on one stage or create several for each level?

[silk night]

Im sorry, but if thats trouble for you, your first stop should be a c# tutorial

if (Mathf.Abs(roll) < 0.3f) return;

[silk night]

Editor folder is exclusive to Editor Only scripts

[oak epoch]

... yes? I'm talking about using them in-editor.

[silk night]

Input.GetMouseButton(0) is emulated on touch

(Turn Input.simulateMouseWithTouches to true to be sure)

[silk night]

Are you trying to load them on gameobjects in your game?

[crude prawn]

yeah im trying to get drag

oh wait yeah thank you

[silk night]

On a UI element?

[crude prawn]

no just in general

and then use line renderer to show outlines where u dragged

[silk night]

Alright, if you want drag look at IDragHandler, IBeginDragHandler and IEndDragHandler

they give you an easy way of handling drag

[oak epoch]

They work only if I move them out of Editor folder.
I can build only if I put them in.
Would like to have both because it's annoying to move scripts around anytime I need those script to generate assets and when I need to build.

[crude prawn]

thank you

[silk night]

Scripts in the "Editor" folders are not supposed to be attached to gameobjects. They should do stuff like creating editor windows

[blazing prairie]

{
    public BigDouble GoldValue { get; set; }
    public void IncreaseGold(BigDouble val) => GoldValue += val;
    public void DecreaseGold(BigDouble val) => GoldValue = BigDouble.Max(0, GoldValue - val);
}``` Is this code OK ?

[oak epoch]

Wait, really?
Weird design.
Guess I'm just gonna spam #if UNITY_EDITOR then.
Thanks for the answer.

[polar acorn]

The Editor folder should be for editor scripts. If they ever need to come out of the editor folder that's a problem

[silk night]

What are you trying to achieve with your scripts? Maybe you can either remove the editor-only lines or skip the gameobject stuff

[oak epoch]

Those ones take a "raw" model, clean up the skeleton, switch material to optimized one, then generate several version with different LOD & settings, then save all of that as prefabs that can be used in the game's actual scenes. The scene they are is never part of any build.

[silk night]

You should have a look at custom editor windows then, you dont need those scripts on any gameobject

If you already have Odin installed - even easier

[oak epoch]

I used to use custom editor window but it's so much boiler plate code compared to just [ExecuteInEdit] + using a boolean as "button" in the Update loop.
I'm aware this is dirty practice, but it's just so much more practical (outside of the conflict with Editor folder).

[silk night]

Do you have Odin by any chance? If so its fairly easy

[oak epoch]

Never heard of it. Will check it.

[silk night]

https://odininspector.com/tutorials/custom-editor-windows/how-to-make-an-odineditorwindow

Its paid though

[oak epoch]

Guess I will stay with my solution then, but thanks for the suggestion.

[silk night]

Even then you might want to create a custom window, even without odin its not that bad to create one

[crude prawn]

Can anyone help me with my line draw? im trying to get the effect of where ever the player is dragging there will be a white outline to show where the player dragged. https://pastebin.com/CSUwJsEq

[muted wadi]

does anyone know how to reference a specific object within a hashset?

[peak siren]

I have a question. What are good resources for learning to code. I am having a hard time retaining stuff with coding. Tutorials do not really help as all I be doing is just copying what someone is doing and most tutorials online does not really exaplin why things are the way to do things or give challenges and such to help retain that information. They are great for breaking ground on some information and features but not good for reatiner and longer term learning. I just been getting frustrated as when I get into the engine and try to solve a problem with a feature or some idea I have for a part of a project and just hit a roadblock because I do not know how to get to the point of problem solving in the code side of things

[gaunt ice]

!learn, and probably learn c# from the most basic (console.writeline("hello world")

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[muted wadi]

I'm struggling with something similar, I recommend breaking down the problem into smaller, manageable steps. Take your time when trying to figure out what you want to make happen and don't rush. Rushing is what makes you hate coding because you feel like you're not doing anything, when in reality you're looking at the smaller pieces and putting them together. Another tip is to just code, don't worry about whether or not its fancy or well written, just code something slowly until it works.

[peak siren]

yea its interesting when doing courses and such I can understand what they doing and reading other people's code I can help them troubleshoot whats going on but when trying to write something myself i just go blank no idea why

[muted wadi]

you're overthinking it. Start off with the most basic thing you need in your script. Do you need a float, do you need a bool, do you need a reference to a separate game object?

dont try to imagine the entire house in one go, start with the foundations

[peak siren]

well i know the differences of the operators and how to do variables and things like that its just like taking those and making something function that i need it to do like i am even keep forgeting on how to do basic player movements for an example

[muted wadi]

i recommend reading Unity Documentation if you're not sure where to start on making something function. They have a detailed example there that you can work off

they have great examples for stuff like .position, .rotation and many others

and again a lot of people forget code that they've written for stuff, i check back on old projects a lot just to remember how I solved a certain problem

[uncut dune]

Ive got a unity event comming from my the same gameobject and sometimes I get an error when it gets destroyed

how do I even check if it gets destroyed

[peak siren]

thanks for the tip

[uncut dune]

like if(gameobject != null) ??

[silk night]

What line of code throws this error?

[topaz mortar]

how do I make a UI element always appear on top of everything else?
it's an item description, nested pretty deep
is there a component that can do this?

[uncut dune]

in the canvas

the gameobject u put on the bottom

is the one on top of everything

and the one on top is the one on the bottom of everything

so if u want to make something appear on top of others just put it in the bottom in the hierarchy

[silk night]

Create multiple "parent" canvases,

• Background
• Base layer
• Foreground
• Always on Top

And add your UI element in the layer you want it to show

[uncut dune]

not sure if there is a better way

[uncut dune]

so any clue?

[silk night]

If you destroy the specialEffect and then try to invoke it that error would be the result

[uncut dune]

well the problem is that they are in the same script

[silk night]

https://img.sidia.net/ZEyI5/NedUSALU87.png/raw

Then i tell the UserInterfaceView to please parent the UI i want to create in the layer I chose, that way the important things are always on top if put in the popup layer

[uncut dune]

the second method

is the special effect

how do I check if the object is destroyed

or gets destriyed

[muted wadi]

{
    transform.position += Vector3.down * Time.deltaTime * fallSpeed;
}```
is this considered teleporting or is the object moving properly?

[silk night]

Teleporting

[muted wadi]

damn

[uncut dune]

well u are basically tping ur character down but very slightly repeatadly so it may seem moving but it is actually tping

[silk night]

If you want to emulate physics movement, add a rigidbody and either use MovePosition or AddForce on that

[silk night]

if (gameObject != null)

[uncut dune]

exactly if u want to do by changing the transform use MovePosition or Lerp

[uncut dune]

ok thank you

[muted wadi]

its not that i want to emulate physics, i just want the collider to interact properly with the istrigger

[silk night]

collider = physics

[muted wadi]

thats not what I mean

[uncut dune]

use Vector3.MovePosition?

[silk night]

The Physics System is what resolves the interaction between the collider and the trigger

[muted wadi]

im wondering if an object enters a collider, teleports further inside the collider, does it mess up the ontriggerstay method?

[uncut dune]

yah and to trigger something one of the objects must have a rigidbody

[silk night]

So yeah, add a Rigidbody and use the Rigidbody.MovePosition

[muted wadi]

it already has a rb

[silk night]

Then reference it in script and move it via that

[uncut dune]

exactly

[muted wadi]

alright

[grizzled roost]

i were downloading unity then it stucked here

i got notification from antivirus that said it been blocked

how do i unblock it

[restive badger]

Start Unity hub as administrator it generally fixes the issue

If it doesn't work you might want to change the download location these are the most common solutions in my experience

[uncut dune]

that didnt work

I still get the error

hmm maybe its something else

[restive badger]

Click on the error log twice and it will lead you to code where it causes the error

[bitter carbon]

is it possible to call a function/method from one scene then define it in anotrher scene

[wintry quarry]

methods are defined on classes, not on scenes

scenes are not a concept in C#

[bitter carbon]

yea but in another class in anotehr scene

[wintry quarry]

you can indeed get references to objects in other scenes and call functions on them, no problem

[bitter carbon]

ok

[muted wadi]

what is the difference between - and -=

[wintry quarry]

- is the subtraction operator
-= is a combined "subtract and assign" operator.
x -= y; is equivalent to:
x = x - y;

[muted wadi]

ahhh

thank you so much

that makes so much more sense than the drivel i've been reading

[restive badger]

here is an example usage so you can understand better 1.someFloat -= 1; 2. someFloat = someFloat - 1;

these both will do the same thing

[edgy fox]

how would I add a global dictionary accessible from all other scripts (essentially, a lot of scripts will need to access variables such as selectMode and similar variables)

[heady nimbus]

Weird collider question:

I've got a player object with standard capsule collider and a script "KnockBack" on it that handles getting knocked back when colliding with an enemy object.

I'm working on creating a melee weapon attack (2d) for this player now. I created a script for it, and a basic weapon prefab with its own collider set to trigger that I instantiate on input (As child of player), and destroy shortly after.

The issue I'm having is the weapon prefab collider is now being treated as an extension of the player collider, triggering the knock back script.

[edgy fox]

that is able to be both read and written to by other scripts

[gaunt ice]

static modifier

[edgy fox]

could you elaborate please?

[gaunt ice]

though i dont recommend your design unless you are experienced in coding or you have experience in non OOP language
it allows you to access variables/methods without instance reference since static variable is belong to the class not the instance

[restive badger]

you can use tags or layers to make that collider ignore your player

[bitter carbon]

how to i do that as i haev a function but it doesnt recognise it on the other scene

[heady nimbus]

Yea, it's set to ignore the player already because I wanted the enemy to be able to pass through if it kept coming after triggering a knock back

[edgy fox]

So essentially, if I have a variable roomSelected stored as false in static class A, and class B sets roomSelected to true, class C sees it as true

and in that case, what is the syntax for modifying variables in a static class from another script?

[bitter carbon]

@wintry quarry

[gaunt ice]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/static-keyword-in-c-sharp/

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "it doesn't recognise it on the other scene"? Show in detail what you are trying to do and how you are trying to do it and what's gping wrong.

[heady nimbus]

Oh jesus... I set the wrong collider to ignore the weapon... Enemy has 2 colliders since I didn't want them to use physics vs the player, but still wanted to use physics when interacting with the world... The one that's supposed to interact with the player is now ignoring the weapon and it's working, thanks for getting me to double check those

[wintry quarry]

When you say "static class" I don't think that means what you think it does. There's a difference between "static class" and "static variable in a class"

[bitter carbon]

so i made a function and all that but this is what happens when i call it (on dif scene btw)

[wintry quarry]

to access a static variable in a class you do ClassName.VariableName

[wintry quarry]

functions don't go on scenes

functions go on classes

you need a reference to an instance of a class to call a function

so someReference.DeathScreenFunc();

[bitter carbon]

what is the reference,

[wintry quarry]

Just a normal C# reference of your class type

[heady nimbus]

I think you need to go back to basics on creating classes and how to reference 1 class from another class. What you're saying about "funciton on a different scene" doesn't make sense

[wintry quarry]

Yep, this is literally Unity 101 "referencing scripts" stuff

do some basic tutorials

[bitter carbon]

ik how to reference scripts but i didnt know if u had to reference scene or smth

[wintry quarry]

To do it between scenes you may need some techniques like Singleton or dependency injection or FindWithTag but that's not a huge hurdle

[bitter carbon]

well then say it instead of setting me up for error

[heady nimbus]

Are you trying to reference a script on a game object in a dfferent scene?

[wintry quarry]

I'm not setting you up for error - I'm hammering the basic concepts into your brain

learning requires error

trial and error

It's a process

[bitter carbon]

ima ask chat gpt as it has manners and is actually smart

[restive badger]

lol

[bitter carbon]

and answers to what i asked

[heady nimbus]

Holy moly

[bitter carbon]

and listens to what i said

[polar acorn]

They did tell you that. Reference the instance across scenes and use that

[heady nimbus]

We did listen. what you said doesn't make sense

[muted wadi]

currently having this issue with the red OnTrigger colliders at the bottom. sometimes they register the object colliding and destroy it, other times they dont. I have no clue why.

[polar acorn]

You just don't know what "reference" means because you've skipped the basics

[bitter carbon]

this is u 10 seconds ago "Are you trying to reference a script on a game object in a dfferent scene?
"

[muted wadi]

if anyone has any tips i'll gladly take them

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show your code and your object setup

[muted wadi]

sure

[wintry quarry]

Also do some debugging steps

[polar acorn]

Well, are you

[bitter carbon]

i do know what i means,

[bitter carbon]

i alr said

[heady nimbus]

"how do I reference a function in another scene" was your question. That does not make sens

[bitter carbon]

it does to me

and im sure chat gpt will know as well

[muted wadi]

script for the cubes to fall

{
    [SerializeField]
    float fallSpeed = 1.5f;
    [SerializeField]
    Rigidbody rb;
    [SerializeField]
    Vector3 current;

    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        current = rb.position;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        rb.MovePosition(transform.position - Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * fallSpeed);
    }
}```

[polar acorn]

Okay, then what is the problem? Reference the object you want and call the function on it

[heady nimbus]

But it doesn't make sense as it relates to Unity development. So you're making up scenarios that no one else understands and getting mad while we try to decypher your bad use of terminology

[muted wadi]

script for checking when the pinks enter the reds and to destroy them

{
    [SerializeField]
    KeyCode keyToPress;

    Color pressedCol = Color.white;
    Color unPressedCol = Color.red;
    [SerializeField]
    Renderer rend;

    private void Start()
    {
        rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(keyToPress))
        {
            rend.material.color = pressedCol;
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyUp(keyToPress))
        {
            rend.material.color = unPressedCol;
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(keyToPress))
        {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
            DDRManager.Instance.score += 1;
            DDRManager.Instance.score += 1;
        }
    }```

[wintry quarry]

Input;.GetKeyDown inside OnTriggerStay is your problem

you cannot do input handling in physics callbacks

physics don't run every frame

[muted wadi]

ah

[wintry quarry]

You need to do something like this:

List<Collider> currentNotes = new();

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
  currentNotes.Add(other);
}

void OnTriggerExit(Collider other) {
  currentNotes.Remove(other);
}

void Update() {
  if (Input.GetKeyDown(whatever)) {
    foreach (Collider note in currentNotes) {
      DestroyAndAdjustScore(note);
    }

    currentNotes.Clear();
  }
}```

[muted wadi]

AHHHHH

[wintry quarry]

Basically keep track of all the notes currently in the zone and when you press a key then you destroy them

with input handling done in Update

[muted wadi]

i was trying to do that with HashSet but i didn't get how

[wintry quarry]

yeah HashSet is actually better

but didn't want to confuse you

you can just replace List with HashSet in my example and it will work fine

[muted wadi]

yeah that makes sense now, I also didn't know that physics didn't run every frame so I had no idea why it wasn't working

[edgy fox]

oh so if I declare a variable as static in a non-static class, is that what they meant?

[opal fossil]

Is Unity moving to .net core anytime soon?

[wintry quarry]

I don't know who "they" are or what they said.. Maybe?

[edgy fox]

ah fun

[summer stump]

You complained about being set up for error, but then say you're going to use GPT, a spam generator that will happily lie to you.

I say this as someone truly trying to help, but the people here were giving you good and helpful answers. GPT will lead you astray unless you ALREADY know enough to filter the lies from facts.

[heady nimbus]

If more than 1 collider triggers an OnTriggerEnter event, are they handled simultaneously? Or is it only going to trigger on one then, then MAYBE the other (think melee weapon attack striking out at 2 enemies at once)

[bitter carbon]

it usually works for me, also they were being very condescending saying "go back toi begginer tutorials" and stuff when i have seen them be wrong before too. They seemed more focused in annoying me than listenign and trying to help

[summer stump]

Saying go back to beginner tutorials is objectively not condescending. You are very much a beginner and it is good to refresh yourself periodically.

Gpt will harm you. It SEEMS like it works, but I promise it gives you only superficially good answers.

You were rude to their responses

[wintry quarry]

you will get one OnTriggerEnter call per collider pair. They will happen sequentially in no defined order

[bitter carbon]

they said do u know what a reference is, when i was 7 years old i knew that

[summer stump]

No. You did not. Not in a programming sense. But I see you just want pity and not help. I will give you neither and instead block you. Good luck. I recommend you get a check on your ego before coming back

[heady nimbus]

Holy moly dude. He said reference it and you asked "What is the reference then"

[bitter carbon]

yes, what is THE reference for that thing not what reference means

[muted wadi]

im reading your example here but im confused on how I can reference note in the method that is being called further down?

[heady nimbus]

You needed to create the reference! Lol, so obviously you didn't know what you were talking about

[bitter carbon]

neither did the other person

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "note"

note is just a local variable inside that one for loop

it is not used nor needed to be used anywhere else

[muted wadi]

oh ok

i was just confused

i thought you were using it in another method outside the loop

[wintry quarry]

nope

[muted wadi]

since the method is called DestroyAndAdjustScore

is it possible to do that though?

[wintry quarry]

Oh yes - i'm passing that to a function

[muted wadi]

i guess if i declared it separately

[wintry quarry]

Yes you would have to declare that function somewhere

the idea of that function is to do what you have here:

            Destroy(other.gameObject);
            DDRManager.Instance.score += 1;
            DDRManager.Instance.score += 1;```

but ofc you'd destroy the parameter's GameObject

[muted wadi]

wait why does it say score twice

[wintry quarry]

you wrote that code not me lol

[muted wadi]

shit that's supposed to be combo not score

[wintry quarry]

you should probably make a public function like AddScore instead of manually modifying another class's static instance variables

inside AddScore you can increment the score and the combo

[muted wadi]

yeah I was planning on doing that since the combo was gonna affect the score, its very rough and unclean because i was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it isn't working

[fossil tree]

hi what is the void for check the condition when my checkbox are checked?

idk if i explain good so sry for my bad english

[cyan wigeon]

Anyone knows why this prints out "Has Internet"

   public void SaveSettings()
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("Saving Settings!");
        if (Application.internetReachability == NetworkReachability.NotReachable)
        {
            GameManager.instance.HasConnection = false;
            Debug.LogWarning("No Internet!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Has Internet!");
            GameManager.instance.SaveCloudGameData();
        }

        if (!GameManager.instance.HasConnection)
        {
            menu.ErrorConnectionPanel.SetActive(true);
        }
        
        menu.MainMenuBtn();
    }

When I turn off my connection?
I am trying to create some error popups and for some reason when I build EXE
if (Application.internetReachability == NetworkReachability.NotReachable)
steps into else when I turn internet connection. It works fine in unity engine
any ideas ?

[gaunt ice]

i think you mean method not void

[fossil tree]

which method it is?

[wintry quarry]

it's "method" or "function", not "void".
Void just means the method doesn't return anything.

As for your question you have to be way more specific because Unity has lots of checkboxes for lots of different things.

[fossil tree]

oh ok

because if i not put void that return anything?

and i talking about the toogle checkbox

[wintry quarry]

show a screenshot of which checkbox you mean?

[heady nimbus]

void describes the return type, void functionName() specificaly means returns nothing. int functionName() means it would return an int value, etc.

As for the check box, are you talking about the UI Element check box, or something in the inspector?

[fossil tree]

the ui element check box

[wintry quarry]

You mean this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-Toggle.html

[fossil tree]

this

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Toggle.html#UnityEngine_UI_Toggle_isOn

[rich adder]

I think you need this one instead
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/NetworkReachability.ReachableViaLocalAreaNetwork.html

the doc says

Note: Do not use this property to determine the actual connectivity. For example, the device can be connected to a hot spot, but not have the actual route to the network.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-internetReachability.html

[warm raptor]

ok so instead of using a find methode that is apparently cursed will it be better to use "public static float"

[fossil tree]

what is the protected override thing

before void

sry im a newbie

[wintry quarry]

those are two totally separate concepts unrelated to the dicussion
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/access-modifiers
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/override

[rich adder]

no not at all. Static variables are not a good quick fix

[rich adder]

we already mentioned you should only get it once, and cache the reference ( Store it inside a variable )

[muted wadi]

can an object not be destroyed by OnTriggerExit?

[wintry quarry]

they can

[muted wadi]

thats weird

[wintry quarry]

why not

[muted wadi]

this is meant to destroy the object if it leaves the collider, but it doesn't

{
    notesInside.Remove(other);
    Destroy(other);
    notesReady = false;
    SubtractScore();
}```

[wintry quarry]

that's destroying the collider

not the GameObject

[muted wadi]

i also did other.gameobject and it didn't work

[wintry quarry]

How do you know it didn't work?
Did the code run?

[rich adder]

are u certain the function is working ?

[muted wadi]

uhhh

OnTriggerEnter is working so this should also be working

[fossil tree]

protected override void OnEnable() why that make me a error?

[muted wadi]

ah sorry guys i was dumb

forgot to add .gameobject to another function

[rich adder]

because there is nothing to override

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to say what the error is and where you put it

[fossil tree]

oh override is for a already exsting method ?

[wintry quarry]

no it's for overriding a virtual or abstract method on a parent class

I don't really know where you saw that from or why you're trying to use it

[fossil tree]

i see that on the doc xd

[wintry quarry]

which doc

[wintry quarry]

why are you looking at that

[rich adder]

public class A : MonoBehaviour
{
    protected virtual void OnEnable()
    {
    }
}
public class B: A
{
    protected override void OnEnable()
    {

    }
}```

[fossil tree]

idk

[wintry quarry]

I linked you to the isOn property:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Toggle.html#UnityEngine_UI_Toggle_isOn

ignore the rest

[cyan wigeon]

wait so what does it need to use

[wintry quarry]

also this is to show you the property that exists already on Toggle. This is not code you are supposed to write. This is code you interact with

it means you can do bool isToggleOn = myToggle.isOn;

[rich adder]

I never used those methods , not 100% on it. I can test it if you like. I usually just make a webrequest and if it fails then there is no internet.. Thats prob not the best but it worked for me

[cyan wigeon]

you mean something like this:
UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.Get("http://www.google.com");
yield return www.SendWebRequest();

    if (www.result == UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)

[rich adder]

yea kinda something like that

https://forum.unity.com/threads/application-internetreachability-works-in-unity-editor-in-windows-but-not-in-the-window-build.1435297/

seems like others had the same issue 🤷‍♂️

few people mentioned doing what I did with the webrequest

[cyan wigeon]

ngl annoying xd

[fossil tree]

but how i can use it for make anything when she are on?

ok i can define him if he are on or off but how i can use that after?

[bitter carbon]

For some reason the 2nd one gets disabled but the first one doesnt get anabled, if anyone can help and needs extra info lmk

[uncut dune]

wut

[wintry quarry]

Sorry I don't understand your question. Use an if statement is that what you're asking?

[wintry quarry]

unity editor bug

[uncut dune]

oh alr

quick restart might fix

[muted wadi]

what happens if you set a variable to public but also serialise it?

[wintry quarry]

nothing

public variables are already serialized

[muted wadi]

oh ok

[wintry quarry]

There are two ways to make a field serialized:

• make it public
• mark it with [SerializeField]

[muted wadi]

that makes sense

[wintry quarry]

doing both won't make it "double" serialized or something

[muted wadi]

yeah i figured, just wanted to know if it was doing something secret i didn't know about

[heady nimbus]

Alright, I botched these collider interactions, looking for some suggestions to fix

Player has Rigidbody + collider

• also spawns in melee weapon with its own trigger collider

Enemy has Rigid body + collider, set to exclude player and weapon (this is basically just for physics and ground collision)

• has child object with just a trigger collider that interacts with player (damage and knock back purposes)

Trying to get the weapon to interact with the enemy collider, but for some reason the weapon collider is triggering the OnTrigger from the knockback logic on the player

.

[rich adder]

from the screenshot alone we can't tell anything

also check console for runtime errors?

[bitter carbon]

i think there is none ill cehck again thgough

yea there is no errors

[rich adder]

show complete script

[fossil tree]

hm litlle question more how i can make to put my game into full screen i try this: Screen.fullScreen = true; but i dont think that work i dont see change in my screen

[rich adder]

I dont think fullscreen would work in editor build

[fossil tree]

ok ty

so i need to build the game

ok x)

[wicked cairn]

Does yield return www.SendWebRequest(); pause if someone elses game build in the world is sending a request to the same url?

[uncut dune]

can a unity event not have a vector2 parameter?

[rich adder]

iirc UnityEvent should support any types regular c# do

[uncut dune]

this doesnt appear in unity events

[fossil tree]

when i open my project i am in border i want when i put my setting in full screen my game go fullscreen that dont work with Screen.fullScreen = true;

[rich adder]

Hmm yeah not sure, I don't use the inspector for events 😛
I prefer Action and do everything in code

[uncut dune]

hm alr ty u anyways

I'll ask in unity tlk

talk

[rich adder]

are you talking about multiplayer ?

[wicked cairn]

yea. my host generates a port and my game needs to read it

so I figure send it through web request or sql

but what if more than one lobby is made at the same time, right?

[rich adder]

everyone is running their own copy of the same game, they shouldn't affect eachother

[wicked cairn]

the web request is sending it to the same url tho

[rich adder]

so? websites servers deal with traffic on the same address

[wicked cairn]

game -> web host file -> server, port generated -> web host -> game

saved to a pre existing text file ig

[rich adder]

i mean yeah if you trust anyone can connect without validations in place..

[wicked cairn]

wouldnt matter. all it shows is a randomly generated port number

[rich adder]

oh just the port ? ok

[wicked cairn]

im just afraid that while one of the consoles sends a port info to the file, and another one sends it at the same time, then when the game goes to read it its grabbing the wrong port

or something.

because on the host server its duping the console program to create multiple open ports/hosts for each lobby

[rich adder]

hmmm
you could always test it n see

[wicked cairn]

would only happen during heavy traffic

cant test it

unless I am able to read the file first and make sure its value is "empty"

[rich adder]

what if one person has slower internet / loses connection, does your server handle that?

[wicked cairn]

just wouldnt want a bunch of ppl waiting for other peoples request to finish

[wicked cairn]

hm?

[rich adder]

just make them different async Tasks or separate coroutines no ?

that should create a task for each user

[wicked cairn]

its peer 2 peer multiplayer. I just have the server hosting the session

but of course each lobby needs its own port, so on a server I have a console program open itself to make a new port, after steam lobby is ready to play

however, somehow the game needs to know what the port is yea?

best way I can think of is either entering all those ports into a mysql database, or if a web request can do it without the same file interfering

[rich adder]

I suppose a list of available ports or something, when someone connects they take over that port. when they disconnect release the port back in the list

this prob should go in #archived-networking

[wicked cairn]

when the port reaches 0 players it closes the application and opens a new one so it generates a new port/host on the main thread

[rich adder]

danggg here i am , just letting something like relay / lobby handle all this.

[wicked cairn]

I am using relay, with steam matchmaking

[rich adder]

oh Unity relay ?

[wicked cairn]

custom

dedicated server is launching a console app that generates a port as a peer 2 peer host. all I need is in game if a player opens the game and joins matchmaking, how matchmaking would know to use that port

[rich adder]

ehh lol thats dedication right there.. I just let Unity handle it

i dont plan on having more than 50CCU right now so its all free for me

[wicked cairn]

cost $?

[wicked cairn]

I do tho

[rich adder]

if you got more than 50CCU monthly you dont want a self made system tbh

youd be able to probably afford their paid tier
