[bitter carbon]

ima just force shut unity

[slender nymph]

unity does not have hot reload so changing your code while it is already running isn't going to fix it

[sturdy lintel]

how do I fix the math, Im confused

[bitter carbon]

i cant remember if i saved or not

[bitter carbon]

so i HAVE to restart unity

[slender nymph]

yes

[bitter carbon]

oho k

[ivory bobcat]

For example, random stuff for the last section would result in an infinite loop

[bitter carbon]

yea the prob was, i saved then contineud to work on it so the past 20 mins its been goign without me realisng

now it isnt letting me close unity

😥

[slender nymph]

use the task manager

[bitter carbon]

yea i was

its ok it closed

i hope i saved it

earlier

oh yea luckily my code saved even though i had that infinite loop thing
\

am i fine to use this

@slender nymph

@ivory bobcat

ill risk it ig

[slender nymph]

what is this loop even for anyway?

[bitter carbon]

just a gameplay mechanic, ive been working on this simple loop for like an hour long

[ivory bobcat]

If j is zero, you'll crash

[bitter carbon]

nah it is 9

i dont like the look of that

[polar acorn]

6 minus 0.6 any number of times is not likely going to end up greater than 180

[slender nymph]

but it will be in the negatives before i reaches 180

[ivory bobcat]

What are you trying to do?

[slender nymph]

this also does not answer the question

[short hazel]

Yeah your i will end up negative really fast

The loop will never end

[bitter carbon]

o wait

yea

i jkust realised

i gotta change the middle thing

to like 5

for now

[ivory bobcat]

If your j is less than zero, it'll crash

[summer stump]

It seems like... that is not the issue

[slender nymph]

congrats. you won't even enter the loop

[bitter carbon]

yea i just did the math and realised it will get to - numbers quick

[polar acorn]

Well, if their j is less than 180 it'll crash

[cosmic dagger]

the value never goes up . . .

[bitter carbon]

it does at first

[slender nymph]

if you would just explain what you are actually trying to do instead of making random guesses at what might be the issue, then a proper solution can be suggested instead of you just changing random bits of your for loop and expecting something to happen

[bitter carbon]

is this good

[ivory bobcat]

What're you trying to accomplish?

[bitter carbon]

well it is trial and error really

[slender nymph]

what is?

[polar acorn]

What is the point of this loop

[bitter carbon]

and if u go up aenough i explained

[slender nymph]

literally where

[polar acorn]

Have you tried thinking first, then writing

[inner marsh]

so i followed the whole guide, i so far have no syntax highlighting and nothing underlined as red, pretty sure i did everything step by step this time.

[slender nymph]

just saying "it's a game mechanic" says nothing at all about it

[polar acorn]

Less crash prone if you do the math before running it

[bitter carbon]

yea but ill need to do like 20 sums in my head

[summer stump]

Did you remove the Engineering package?
Fen gave instructions here
#💻┃code-beginner message

[bitter carbon]

afk like 2 mins ima think about it

[polar acorn]

Or, and follow me on this one,

on a computer

[rich adder]

don't you know ? its a mechanic to crash the player

[bitter carbon]

well with calc it takes ages to type em

[polar acorn]

And how does this for loop achieve the timer behaviour you described before

[inner marsh]

yes

[bitter carbon]

ill explain when im finished its easier

[polar acorn]

no

[summer stump]

Ok. And show your External Tools menu

[slender nymph]

if you've installed the extension and you don't see any errors in vs code, then regenerate project files and restart vscode

[polar acorn]

We're not going to code by successive approximations

What is this loop even for

why does it exist

what is it trying to achieve

What are you looping over

and what code do you intend to repeat

[quiet dune]

Hi, so I'm debugging a C# script with a collection of game objects. I'd like to be able to select objects from the collection in the unity editor as an easy way to find them. I found the Selection.activeGameObjects command, but it doesn't work, because the Editor freezes up during debugging. Is there any way around that?

[ivory bobcat]

I've gone up to your first statement #💻┃code-beginner message and have wasted my time. What are you trying to accomplish?

[summer stump]

They want a timer that gets faster and faster

I dunno beyond that

[cosmic dagger]

must . . . go . . . faster . . .

[bitter carbon]

i have figured it out, since some ppl seem curios ill put a video in works in progress in a few mins

[slender nymph]

do they? because the math they are using makes it slower over time

[polar acorn]

yes that's it, but they have yet to explain how this for loop relates to that at all

[ivory bobcat]

Forget it, I'll just block.

[inner marsh]

wym regenerate project files

[bitter carbon]

ok👍

[polar acorn]

Click the button that says "Regenerate Project Files"

[slender nymph]

did you even bother looking at the screenshot you posted right before this message?

[inner marsh]

ima little blind alr

[slender nymph]

hope this helps 👍

[inner marsh]

clicked that and restarted vsc and nothing still

[cosmic dagger]

wait, where is it?

[rich adder]

off to a good start

[slender nymph]

check the console in vs code for errors

for example, an error regarding the .net sdk or omnisharp

[surreal scaffold]

yep

[inner marsh]

[slender nymph]

restart your computer

installing the extension should have installed the .net sdk so you just need to restart to get it into the path correctly

[ivory bobcat]

You may need to provide more info to determine why it's freezing. Having a list, dictionary or collection of references to your game objects shouldn't be an issue.

[bitter carbon]

btw if u are curios its in #archived-works-in-progress , if u dont care then fair enough

[slender nymph]

and that still doesn't explain the purpose of it

[bitter carbon]

oh

ill say now

there is plants, and the player needs to tend to them or they die and u lose, so basically the more the time goes on the more frequent u gotta tend to them otherwise it will go on forever at same difficulty, so i just needed a loop for that

[slender nymph]

why do you need a loop for that?

[bitter carbon]

so it knows the times, i mean i could manually write them but it would be like 150 differerent numbers if u add up all thje plants

[slender nymph]

i don't think this is going to do at all what you expect it to do

[bitter carbon]

lol here is where i find out i did it wrong😳😳

[slender nymph]

you know the loop runs to completion before continuing to the code after it, right?

[rocky canyon]

[bitter carbon]

eya ill jkusty put what i want inside the loop

yea

just

[summer stump]

Then the timer will go off that many times in one frame

[slender nymph]

you should do some beginner c# courses to learn how loops, and just code in general, work

[summer stump]

A loop just... isn't what you want at all

[bitter carbon]

hmm i hope i havent done this lal wrong

i prob did

o well

[summer stump]

I would either put a formula in a method or the getter of the variable

Each time you call either, it updates the time it takes

[slender nymph]

honestly a serialized animation curve would be a nice idea for the time curve. then just sampling it at different points to get the time or whatever would be super easy

would also allow the curve to be different for different objects

[summer stump]

Oh yeah, I don't use animation curves enough.

That would be perfect for this

[bitter carbon]

is there not a way where ucan put all teh variables from a for loop in a array or smth, i swear someone said that to me once

[summer stump]

I guess... but why? That sounds awful
You can certainly build an array in a for loop though
Then what? You iterated the array?
Why do any of that

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[bitter carbon]

ill do that

it seems like easiest way to me

[summer stump]

It's a really really bad way to do it. Way harder to get just right too
But ok

[bitter carbon]

idk how to use animation curves or whatever

[summer stump]

Look it up 🤷‍♂️
Or do what I said and just use a method or the getter of a property

A loop is just added complexity for no reason

[bitter carbon]

not sure how i would add a method to achieve same thing

[summer stump]

public float GetNextTiming()
{
  return currentTime *= .95f;
}

As simple as this, but probably want to find a better formula

But you should definitely just look up animation curves

It'll be exactly what you want

[bitter carbon]

im still a beginner so idk if im read yfor that

[cosmic dagger]

that's the easy, beginner way . . .

[rich adder]

they're literally so easy

[cosmic dagger]

you just create a curve to determine how fast/little the value changes over time . . .

[rich adder]

you're doing everything in the inspector, instead of the manual way with writing formulas

[bitter carbon]

ok im watching a tutorial

it does seem pretty good

[rich adder]

you can use them for almost anything lol

character controllers is very good too

[buoyant knot]

ok I think I figured out a little more about my issue

[lusty socket]

https://gdl.space/isotemihar.cs hi just wondering if anyone could help me find the fix to my issue, the player jump no longer works in game and ive no idea why, any help? thankyou

[buoyant knot]

kinematic rigidbody2d has velocity and MovePosition is called that fixed frame. If you call Physics2D.Simulate, the rigidbody's velocity gets set to zero.... SOMETIMES! In one block of code, velocity gets set to zero, and for another object, it doesn't!

and idk why

[cosmic dagger]

doesn't Simulate get called globally for all rigidbodies?

[lusty socket]

jump animation*** sorry

[buoyant knot]

I mean I can set velocity, then manually call simulate, and immediately after that call, the velocity has changed

[bitter carbon]

i mostly understand the animation curve but i dont understand how i would use it in my context, should i make the x axis 180 long or am i doing smth wrong

[sturdy lintel]

anyone??

[slender nymph]

i am not going to answer any more of your questions until you have demonstrated that you have gone through some beginner c# courses and understand how the code works.

[rocky canyon]

unrelated / kinda related.. when i expose an animation curve to be able to edit it via the inspector i get some weird Editor error..

[bitter carbon]

it isnt even code it is the curve thing u suggested

but sure

[rocky canyon]

dont know the exact error, but i can clear it and it stays gone for atleast a little while

[cosmic dagger]

that's fine. i think i used to get that, but not anymore . . .

[buoyant knot]

and if I don't call moveposition, rb velocity definitely won't get set to zero. idk why this is happenning

[cosmic dagger]

so if you call Simulate and MovePosition, it will reset to zero?

[buoyant knot]

if I call MovePosition, then call simulate, now the velocity is zero

but not always? I don't understand why

if I set the simulation mode to Script, how does that work with Callbacks/Contacts?

Can I:
Call simulate, do X, then physics system generates contacts and callbacks?

[sharp kiln]

Hello everyone, so to start with this so for VRChat, and i have asked for help from their discord but there has been no response

I am getting a free compile errors and i have no idea how to rectify them. Any help will be appreciated thank you also im sorry if this is the wrong channel im not too sure where else to put this

[inner marsh]

still getting the same error even after restart

[slender nymph]

then make sure you've got the .net sdk installed

[slender nymph]

no

it's not an extension

although i will recommend switching to a real IDE that will be easier to configure

[inner marsh]

like js visual studio?

[slender nymph]

i don't know what that js is supposed to be, but Visual Studio instead of VS Code, yes.

[inner marsh]

just

[inner marsh]

alr

should i fully remove vs code then?

[slender nymph]

up to you

[quasi rose]

keep it for your JS projects

[inner marsh]

js?

[round scaffold]

Jack skeleton projects

[inner marsh]

nothing shows up in the external tools for it

[slender nymph]

have you actually installed it?

[inner marsh]

yes

[rocky canyon]

then its not installed correctly.. or u need to restart unity

[inner marsh]

alr ill restart it

[slender nymph]

then restart unity and/or your pc

if it still doesn't show up, you can always add it manually

[rocky canyon]

if its in the OS folder (c:) drive or w/e it should be visible

but if not u can just directly point to it as box sed

[slender nymph]

even installed elsewhere it should show up. i had vs installed on a different drive for the longest time since i had no room on C

[inner marsh]

aight i restarted unity and it works now

ty

and still no red error lines

but it does seem to be configured

[slender nymph]

did you install the unity workload?

[inner marsh]

so thats good

[inner marsh]

installed it with the instilation of vs

or i may not have

idk where modify is in the tab it dont show

[slender nymph]

it's in the visual studio installer like the instructions say

[inner marsh]

yes i installed the thing for unity

[slender nymph]

regenerate project files and restart visual studio. if it is still not working then screenshot the entire visual studio window with the solution explorer visible

[inner marsh]

aight it works now

current errors

[polar acorn]

Okay so you didn't fix the one thing that was pointed out to you last time

[elfin mist]

Once you're finished your conversation, has anybody got any recommendations for courses for unity? Preferably free ones because I'm cheap.

[slender nymph]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

Ah, thanks.

[summer stump]

outRaycastHit is not a thing

It should be two words

[inner marsh]

i forgot a space... god damn it im dumb

2 ish hrs over a space 💀

anwyayssss

still 10 errors

[summer stump]

What is the point of this method anyway?

[polar acorn]

And also the thing we told you about last time

[inner marsh]

raycast for lasers

[inner marsh]

which is?

[polar acorn]

that you still haven't fixed

[wintry quarry]

Just go one by one and fix them. They're probably all simple

[summer stump]

But... why not just raycast? It seems like an unnecessary abstraction. You're already passing in all the same parameters

[polar acorn]

#💻┃code-beginner message
#💻┃code-beginner message

[slender nymph]

yeah, that's certainly an odd choice. i would understand if their static method maybe passed in some specific parameters for it. but all this is doing is just passing the same data to a different static method

[summer stump]

Ohhh, could barely see that semicolon in the screenshot. Almost cut off there

[summer stump]

Yeah, I thought at first is defaulted some data or parameter... but no. Just renaming the raycast essentially

[inner marsh]

i actually fixed it there was a semicolon at the end of the public static bool line that broke it

mb for the waste of time

[polar acorn]

Yes, that is what we said several times

Congratulations, you finally listened

But also, do read what everyone's saying. There's no point in this function's existence in the first place

[buoyant knot]

how does motion happen at physics frame/update?

like, if my RB is at X right before simulation, is it now at X+1 immediately after update?

or does physics sim tell it to have a velocity to go through X=>X+1 between the end of physics calculation and start of next physics update?

[wintry quarry]

Rigidbody has a velocity property

It uses that

[buoyant knot]

kinematic RB

2D

[wintry quarry]

^ same answer

In 2d kinematic bodies can have velocity

[buoyant knot]

I'm confused because I'm calling MovePosition(), and sometimes the physics simulation sets my velocity to zero

and I am most certainly supposed to be moving

[wintry quarry]

MovePosition overrides the velocity

[buoyant knot]

ok, that's perfect, but my RB isn't moving

TryCastedMoveWeak(Vector2.left, mover, true, out RaycastHit2D hit);
Debug.Log("after cast move: " + mover.ToStringDetailed());
mover.SetPositionAndRotation(mover.initialSimulationPosition, mover.initialSimulationRotation);
Debug.Log("after set pos:   " + mover.ToStringDetailed());
mover.rigidBody.MovePosition(mover.intermediatePosition);

Physics2D.Simulate(deltaTime);
Debug.Log("after simulate:  " + mover.ToStringDetailed());```

TryCastedMoveWeak sets mover.intermediatePosition to a new value (that works right), and places it at that new position via transform.position and rigidbody.position

SetPositionAndRotation sets transform.position and rigidbody.position back to their original values

then I call MovePosition to that farthest intermediate position, then simulate. But it doesn't move

1. If I only have TryCastedMoveWeak and Simulate, it moves
2. If I only have MovePosition to position+ Vector2.up, and simulate, we move

I'm confused as to why it isn't respecting the MovePosition command if I have shuffled it around previously

[wintry quarry]

SetPoisitionAndRotation is for a Transform

Don't use it for physics

[buoyant knot]

I'm just moving both together. both transform and rigidbody position, so they don't desync

maybe I should just avoid moving transform at all?

[wintry quarry]

Yea

Don't move the transform manually

[buoyant knot]

progress. I'm going to expand to other test case

idk why moving the transform would block it from moving, but at this point i'll take it

holy shit that worked

thanks praetor

[topaz gorge]

Normally with any type of movement mainly character or NPC movements you dont want to modify the transform directly

[buoyant knot]

well, I was trying to move both the transform + rigidbody together, to avoid the need to sync transforms, but I guess not

wait, do colliders live in rigidbody space? or transform space?

[topaz gorge]

transform

[lusty socket]

could anyone help with this please

[buoyant knot]

that’s bad. I need to temporarily teleport all colliders for a moment

[topaz gorge]

well you can also change the colliders position by itself

[buoyant knot]

i’m doing a sequential physics calculation, where I move blocks A then B then C, and block B is colliding based on where A is after it moves

how would I do that without shifting the transforms

[lone sable]

Is it possible to do Resources.Load(searchHere) where searchHere is something like **/ResourceName*

[topaz gorge]

you typically provide the path to the resource you want to load as a string This path should include the folder structure within the "Resources" folder For example, if you have a resource named "MyPrefab" located in a folder called "Prefabs" within the "Resources" folder

[buoyant knot]

uh, not me

[topaz gorge]

sorry that was for toonic lol

[topaz gorge]

im looking into it

[buoyant knot]

anyway, how do I temporarily teleport a whole object with all its colliders temporarily. Just so it can be in the right position for Cast calls, and be allowed to just… put it back after

[lusty socket]

thankyou

[lone sable]

Right, but specifically in this case I have a bunch of external sprites placed inside the Resouce Folder. Where I want it to do like.

Resource.Load(dynamicName) and then returns the Sprite/Image, where it will only ever be a sprite.

But it can also be under a sub folder.

[topaz gorge]

you can disable the physics when teleporting it, which will allow you to change the transform directly without issue

[buoyant knot]

i don’t understand? This is all within one function, basicallt

[polar acorn]

Call Physics.SyncTransforms() after setting the transform position, it'll resync physics to the new position

[topaz gorge]

you can either remove the rigidbody or make it Kenimatic

when teleporting

[topaz gorge]

his option also works too

[buoyant knot]

Is that expensive to call 10k times a frame?

[polar acorn]

Probably better to move everything first then call it once

it affects all transforms when it's called

[topaz gorge]

string dynamicName = "Sprites/MySprite"; // Include the folder structure
Sprite mySprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>(dynamicName);

You do mean something like this right

[buoyant knot]

I figured, but I need to move the one thing, one collision at a time, so I can calculate positions of other things

[meager gust]

yes, it is.

you will lock up your game

[buoyant knot]

I don’t need to do it for all transforms. I have a reference to the one thing that needs to be moved

[polar acorn]

Maybe what you need is a Collider2D.Cast? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider2D.Cast.html

[lone sable]

Yeah, but its not always going to be Sprites. It could be something else. Sprites should be a Wildcard. As should the ending of MySprite.

[polar acorn]

See what would be collided with if you moved this collider in some direction

[lone sable]

"*/MySprite*

[buoyant knot]

I’m using Cast to calculate position, but now I need to set it

because block B then does it’s own cast, and depends on where block A plans to be next frame

so block A needs to cast, go to where it plans to be, do casts with block B, then put them all back. and tell them to smoothly travel to target position

does all of this make sense?

and I’d forseeably maybe do that 10k times a frame

[meager gust]

doing anything 10k times a frame is expensive.

[buoyant knot]

i know, but first I need to make it correct

then I can worry about optimizing

[topaz gorge]

public T LoadResource<T>(string dynamicName) where T : Object
{
    // Load the resource based on the provided dynamic name and type
    T loadedResource = Resources.Load<T>(dynamicName);

    if (loadedResource == null)
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("Resource not found: " + dynamicName);
    }

    return loadedResource;
}

So you want something like this where you can load various types of resources

[buoyant knot]

i just can’t afford to sync the whole scene 10k times a frame

[meager gust]

I don't know what you're doing, but you probably need to rethink everything.

your plan sounds strange

[buoyant knot]

it’s a custom physics engine

it’s going to be expensive

there’s no way for it to not be expensive

[meager gust]

again, that sounds extremely strange

especially doing 10k collider casts per frame

[topaz gorge]

yeah thats a lot

[buoyant knot]

we’ll see how far I can push it

[meager gust]

you're going to lock up your game

I know the limitations of physx.

[buoyant knot]

this would be super easy if I could just get into unity’s physics update, but that shit is a black box

with tons of injected code

[meager gust]

wat

[buoyant knot]

and there are several things I want to do that I’m blocked from because I can’t get the access I need

[meager gust]

like what

[buoyant knot]

moving in reference frames for one

[meager gust]

what is a reference frame

[buoyant knot]

i spent a literal month going around to figure out how to make a block ride a block in its reference frame etc

block A is moving with some velocity, and if block B is on top, then it rides at that velocity, and B can have its own velocity, which effectively adds

effectors are also a black box

[topaz gorge]

Debug your boxcast to see its position and make sure it is touching the ground

[buoyant knot]

you literally cannot modify contacts in 2D

there’s an API for 3D, but not 2D

[lusty socket]

which one the standing or crouching one?

[buoyant knot]

which leads to garbage like platform effectors (used for one ways) cannot be combined with surface effectors

[topaz gorge]

Both just incase

[lusty socket]

okay 2 mins

[topaz gorge]

You can look into sabastian lague or something like that he does a lot of physics stuff, might be a good watch for what your doing

[buoyant knot]

i’ll check him out. right now I have implementation challenges

[meager gust]

@buoyant knotCan you explain very simply what you're trying to do

I saw your messages earlier about moving colliders based on other colliders, but that's still really vague

[summer stump]

From what I understand, they want to have a kind of heavily limited collisions. If you have a stack of boxes riding on a moving platform and the topmost box hits an overhang, they want ONLY that box to slide off, but none of the others to even move at all (other than continuing on with the platform)

I saw a drawing they made a while ago that made it sound like that

[meager gust]

There's likely a reason that's happening, probably because of performance. Stacking stuff in physics engines and expecting it to behave properly isn't really a piece of cake, from what I've heard from actual engineers.

@buoyant knot you'd probably be better off shopping for different physics engines and porting them into unity

rather than trying to write your own engine or modify unity's black box in any way. which I'm pretty sure violates their tos

I've gone down the rabbit hole of trying to fix implementation-specific things in unity for months on end, so I know how much of a pain in the ass it is.

[buoyant knot]

at this point, I'm more comfortable making my own thing with my very specific needs than trying to fit a square into an extremely snug rectangular hole

[meager gust]

I mean, if I'm reading the issue right, you could just disable the rigidbodies on the under-stacked boxes and give them a parent-move type of feature

you'd probably have to manually update the offset of the top box as well too though

[buoyant knot]

I have tried so much shit for that, dude

it was a straight month of going to different sites, and I honestly give up on making it work with the built in physics engine

parent-moving isn't a thing in unity. you can move transforms, which makes collision janky af

[lone sable]

Nono.

Like.

I should be able to search with wild cards for teh resource.

[meager gust]

it's a thing when you have kinematic bodies

[buoyant knot]

and I've asked the unity devs enough and the general concensus was "uh, yeah that's hard. don't think you can do that champ"

[buoyant knot]

I know. but I need to be able to evaluate them as kinematic RBs to give them full collision

they need things like gravity, and pushing, and collision with walls...

[buoyant knot]

they are effectively dynamic rigidbodies coded as kinematic

anyway, not to shoot you down. But i tried for a month problem solving with lots of people to make physx work, and everytime I try to do physics stuff while keeping to physx, I CONSTANTLY have these little "spend 1-2 weeks to do something simple" bullshit. I'm tired of trying to work in their box.

ok, it looks like collider bounds move with setting RB position, which very poggers

[meager gust]

to actually get the physics engine to react to your changes though, you must perform a synchronization somewhere

that's a fact.

[buoyant knot]

Q: if I move RB of block A's position, then immediately cast block B, will it cast based on block A's new position?

[meager gust]

no

you must perform a synchronization

which is heavy.

assuming we're still talking about 3d physx and not box2d. I can't help with box2d.

At quick glance it looks fine..

[buoyant knot]

I don't do anything with 3D

doing 10k 3D casts a frame is absolute insanity

[meager gust]

you mentioned physx, which is 3d.

[buoyant knot]

sorry, I misspoke

box2d

I exclusively do 2D

[dry tendon]

nono, that its supposed to execute all without time spaces... and when i execute this code it takes a bit of time until the anim ends and the log is printed

[buoyant knot]

and I try to almost exclusively use very basic geometries. Basically all box colliders, edge colliders, and some composite colliders with as few vertices as possible

[summer stump]

So... you WANT it to take no time? But it does?

I'm sorry, I'm just not understanding you

[buoyant knot]

casting 10k 3D meshes a frame would melt any computer, I think lol

[dry tendon]

yeah, that

[summer stump]

You have two yield return WaitForSeconds(someTime) written there

So... it will wait for those seconds...

[buoyant knot]

also, my engine is going to have no rotation

everything has locked rotation, which should also help make everything cheaper

[summer stump]

ECS should be able to handle it

But that is irrelevant and unhelpful here

[buoyant knot]

and simpler, because no quaternions, tensors, or matrices get involved

[meager gust]

how many items are you simulating at once

[buoyant knot]

looking at maybe 1000

[lusty socket]

@topaz gorge does this help?

[buoyant knot]

my plan is to mostly cast each one at a time, and try to avoid re-casting. but theoretically, several may need to be cast a few times. this is like worst cast scenario

[topaz gorge]

So i think i see your problem one sec

[topaz gorge]

Wait hold on but your player is jumping whats your issue? is it the animation

[lusty socket]

yes the animation i corrected myself after the original post you mustve missed it sorry

[topaz gorge]

So the animation is the problem

[native seal]

Anyone know how I should code infinite tiles around the player, similar to games like vampire survivors? I want it so they can just walk in any direction forever

[topaz gorge]

Can you show me your Animator

[meager gust]

floating origin

[native seal]

can you go into more detail? idk what that is

[lusty socket]

ofc 2 secs

[summer stump]

Move the world around the player

Then add more map as you go

[meager gust]

world moves around the player. If you move the player infinitely in one direction, you run out of precision, and things will start jittering around.

[summer stump]

Removing stuff out of range

[lusty socket]

you wanna see it whilst in game or just a screenshot

[native seal]

okay so how do I add more map around the player?

[meager gust]

this isn't just a 1 step thing

you'll need to google it and get familiar with the concept

[native seal]

yeah I understand, do I use instantiate?

or some function in tile or something

i couldnt find one answer online

[meager gust]

you'll need to store your tile data somewhere

[topaz gorge]

for generating the tiles the first time yes, but you will want to make a pool for them for performance

[meager gust]

apparently unity has a prebuilt tile system, so most of this might actually already be implemented for you

[topaz gorge]

screenshot is fine

[native seal]

yes how do I create tiles in script? thats what im trying to figure out

[lusty socket]

when in game @topaz gorge it just shows the jumpanim as false all the time, but before the crouch it worked perfectly

[buoyant knot]

okay, so just moving the rigidbody.position does update the colliders, and keeps collisions up to date

ie if I move rigidbody.position, and then a different collider casts, then it DOES respond to the new position

[meager gust]

you need to check if the setter is manually updating the hierarchy volumes

which it probably is

aka synchronizing the physics engine

[topaz gorge]

So there a few things that needs to be changed in the script i will point them out and put comments and so on

[buoyant knot]

my role in the sync is just making sure that casts from the moved collider are correct, and casts that would interact with the moved collider are correct

[lusty socket]

thankyou i appreciate it

[meager gust]

are you still trying to implement this on top of box2d or are you actually making a custom collision response?

[buoyant knot]

I'm solely relying on Box2D to calculate casts

and move things where I tell it to move them

[meager gust]

and is this a mobile game?

[buoyant knot]

no

definitely not mobile

[tepid cove]

i have a code which should actiave a ragdoll for my enemy doing an idol animation: but the bullet just bounces off and doesnt trigger the ragdoll and the enemy carries on idol animating. this is my code:

[sour fulcrum]

Is there a better way I should be avoiding list duplicates other than just (aside from just ensuring my logic never does it twice ofc)

if (!List.Contains(Item))
List.Add(Item)

hasn't been a problem yet just curious

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe using a different collection if duplicates aren't to be had. Hashset https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.hashset-1?view=net-7.0

[eternal needle]

If you have to use a List, then you're gonna have to check it with contains or some linq function.
Different data structures can provide faster lookups but you'll have to adjust this implementation. If this isnt a performance issue, I wouldnt even worry about it

[ivory bobcat]

Where hashset Add would simply not add the element if already existing

Looks like a premature optimization question.

[sour fulcrum]

Yeah, Just had a bad vibe and wanted to double check

[buoyant knot]

if you are contemplating duplicating a list, you are probably doing something wrong

duplicating a field usually leads to bugs where the two are supposed to be aligned, and are not

[sour fulcrum]

Not what I said and I've had no issues duplicating a list before?

thank you though

[buoyant knot]

oh i didn’t understand what you meant by duplicates

I’m pretty sure Linq has .Distinct()

I use .Distinct when I need to cull a bunch of dupes at once

.Contains is O(n), and is good for upkeep.
.Distinct is O(n ln n) i think, and it is probably much better for giant lists with one big cull at once

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe you ought to provide more info like the console logs, if any.

[buoyant knot]

alternatively, HashSets avoid duplicates naturally. Depends on what you need

[topaz gorge]

There you go

oh you can remove the namespace

Not sure how i got double using variables those will also need to be removed

[split wave]

would anyone be able to help me with scripting these UI’s along with a round system please

if anyone is able to help them please take this to DM’s.

[frosty hound]

That's not how this server works. If you have a coding question, you're free to ask it.

[meager gust]

@buoyant knotIf your current solution ends up not working, I think you should bite the bullet and just make your own simple custom "physics engine" not involving box2d. The fact that your bodies can't rotate simplifies this 100x.

It would be a pretty damn cool project

[buoyant knot]

I’ll only know once I can stress test it, then deep profile to see where the cost is

and what you’re proposing would simply involve replacing calls to .Cast with something else, which would be tough but doable

[meager gust]

Can I see a graphic or something that you're doing

[buoyant knot]

what sort of graphic

[meager gust]

a video that shows me what the issue is

[buoyant knot]

i have a diagram

[meager gust]

sure

[buoyant knot]

this is what my issue was before

[meager gust]

you wouldn't need a cast. you would simply find the overlap and depenetrate. gravity would be simple af

(assuming you write your own custom solution)

[buoyant knot]

besides the general lack of access to be able to screw with effectors

well, I’m casting because I want things to move in reference frame

just to make it a bit clear: say block A is moving left, and block B is riding block A and jumps that same frame

[formal escarp]

Guys i have a question about, code in general. I know how to read and understand some basic code, like movement, how to move the camera around, how to jump etc. I can read some other stuff and understand it, but i cant memorize it/write it on my own without looking at it. Is this a bad thing? 💀 im kinda new.

[buoyant knot]

in my method, B is casted to the left (movement in A’s ref frame), and then B does his own movement up (B’s personal jump)

[meager gust]

the top cube just collides with green static cube and falls off. what am I missing?

[wintry quarry]

It's normal, just keep practicing and you'll get it

[buoyant knot]

you will learn the more you use the same tool

[meager gust]

I don't know what you mean by reference frame either

[formal escarp]

alrighty

[buoyant knot]

imagine you jump when you are in a plane moving at 100 mi/hr. You should move around in the plane just as though you were on normal ground, but now your speed is basically +100 mi/hr

[meager gust]

yeah an overlap and bounds check would allow you to see whose underneath you, and mimic their velocity

[buoyant knot]

but now tack on the plane accelerating/turning, and you running into birds flying at 5 mi/hr

[buoyant knot]

I already have a system to define the relationship of what rides what

that was not an issue even with box2D

the box2D challenge was making the physics work out, once you know B is riding A

[meager gust]

yeah, the custom physics solution would solve that

[buoyant knot]

that’s a major reason for the custom physics solution

big driving force

[meager gust]

what's the issue again? friction makes them all fall?

[buoyant knot]

friction doesn’t really help things track properly in Box2D

even assuming the thing on top doesn’t try to move

friction will apply some force to move together, but not enough to be exact

so in the plane example, your ass would 100% fall off and hit the runway

Box2D’s joints also apply force in both connected things. So the joint would let the plane move you, but block you from moving in the plane, and if you hit a random concrete wall, the plane would come to a screeching halt too

[meager gust]

yeah

[buoyant knot]

also box2D only lets you completely ignore pairs of colliders. not ignore force from one specific collider to another specific collider

so if block B is jumping on A, you have a choice between block B falling through A, or A also falling.

my workaround is to literally make two colliders for every object. Which works, but god damn that is a shitty solution

[meager gust]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Games/Techniques/2D_collision_detection#axis-aligned_bounding_box

just gonna drop this here

[buoyant knot]

ty burt. i’ll take a look

[meager gust]

it used to have working demos. what a shame they broke that.

[sturdy lintel]

Can someone help me out here please?

[topaz gorge]

why are you doing the target direction in 2 places, in awake and start

[sturdy lintel]

I never removed it, once that part worked, sorry.

my actual issue is with the projection

[topaz gorge]

im looking rn was just wondering about that

[topaz gorge]

so whats the exact issue your having with this

[sturdy lintel]

If you see this image, I want to show such black projections on the barrier, but I don't know how to

[topaz gorge]

To create black projections on the barriers you can do this by using a shader that darkens the areas where the balls cast shadows on the barriers

[sturdy lintel]

yeah, but my requeirement for the assignment is to do this using vector math. I have created a vvsmall black cylinder prefab & I need to show it & calculate its position & scale it so as to make it look like projection

[topaz gorge]

i see

[sturdy lintel]

something like this. I tried this, but I dunno where I'm goin wrong

[topaz gorge]

i got what you need

[sturdy lintel]

pls tell me

[topaz gorge]

 for (int i = 0; i < wallControllerRef.barriersList.Count; i++)
    {
        Vector3 ballPos = this.transform.localPosition;
        Vector3 normal = wallControllerRef.barriersList[i].transform.forward;

        // Calculate the dot product to determine the projection
        float d = Vector3.Dot(ballPos, normal);
        float D = Vector3.Dot(normal, wallControllerRef.barriersList[i].transform.position);

        // Calculate the projected position on the barrier
        Vector3 projectedPosition = ballPos - ((d - D) * normal);

        ballShadowLine.transform.up = (projectedPosition - this.transform.localPosition).normalized;

        // Adjust the scale of the shadow line based on the projection
        ballShadowLine.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.02f, (projectedPosition - this.transform.localPosition).magnitude * 0.5f, 0.02f);

        // New code to create shadows
        Vector3 shadowPosition = projectedPosition;

        // Calculate the height (Y scale) of the shadow based on the distance between the projection and the ball
        float shadowScaleY = (projectedPosition - this.transform.localPosition).magnitude * 0.5f;

        // Instantiate a shadow object
        GameObject shadow = Instantiate(blackCylinderPrefab, shadowPosition, Quaternion.identity);

        // Set the shadow's scale, making it look like a projection
        shadow.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.02f, shadowScaleY, 0.02f);

        // Parent the shadow to the barrier to move with it
        shadow.transform.parent = wallControllerRef.barriersList[i].transform;
    }

this should do what you need, i put in comments to explain it

kinda a pain you cant use shaders though

[sturdy lintel]

wow wait, let me read it

[topaz gorge]

if you dont want the shadows to parent to the barrier you can always remove it of course

[sturdy lintel]

this is what I got 😬

[topaz gorge]

any errors?

[sturdy lintel]

none

[topaz gorge]

oh boy

one minute

[sturdy lintel]

https://pastebin.com/10H0Yypj

[topaz gorge]

might be because the cylinders are being parented under the barrier, could be messing up there scale and so on

[viral hemlock]

Can someone please explain class inheritance to me

[frosty hound]

You have a class that has functions and variables.

You have another class that inherits from that class, which then gives it access to its functions and variables.

[lusty socket]

hey sorry @topaz gorge this code when added in game still does the same and plays no animation when jumping saying the parameter is false, is there anything else that could be going wrong with it?

[topaz gorge]

I kinda figured it wouldn't fix it, i dont see anything wrong with the code it must be something with the animation tree

[topaz gorge]

If you wanna hop in a call we can debug the problem more effectively

[lusty socket]

yeah can do man

[hollow osprey]

hi guys

[timid gale]

Hey SO, I'm STILL trying to get my button to get me to a different scene, HOW IN THE FARK DO I DO IT!!??? 😭

My "Find a game" button is a TMP-Text (UI)
I've added a button component to it for On Click; Hide shit (other menus)
AND, the script which is 'meant ' to take me to the new scene.

I'm not getting anything from console saying that my script is wrong.

Is my script wrong????

[young warren]

Do you have code that loads another scene?

Hard to say if your script is wrong if you don't show the code

[timid gale]

It's literally in the photo my dude

[young warren]

Okay, then you just need to look up how to make buttons do something on click

You need to attach that script to an object, then drag that object into the on click field

That should allow you to select the function in the drop-down

[timid gale]

I literally did that; it's not working.

[young warren]

Doesn't look like it

Which object has the script on it

[summer stump]

You added the script. Not an object with the script...

As Wytea is saying

[timid gale]

Is that TMP_Text/ Button not an object??

[young warren]

Okay and is the script with the scene loading code on it?

[summer stump]

Is the script attached to the button?

Doesn't looks like it

[timid gale]

I've been following tutorials which say I can use a TMP_Text as a button and add the script to it but; I haven't been able to get that working.

[young warren]

Please calm down and read what I said here

[summer stump]

We don't mean dragged into the box. The script has to be actually added as a component. And then the object with that component is dragged into the box

[young warren]

It's not the tutorials fault most of the time. You probably misunderstood or missed a step

So one step at a time, show us where the script is attached to?

[timid gale]

I tried retracing my steps like 5 times to make sure; when I have dragged the script onto the 'object' it's there BUT, Script is greyed out and blank.......

[young warren]

This

Show this please

[polar acorn]

You have to drag in an object with a script component, not the script file

[young warren]

We're not saying dragging the script into the on click field

Literally, attach the script onto an object

[young warren]

Your Go2GameScene script

[summer stump]

You don't drag the thing I put an X on

[young warren]

Which object is it attached to

[young warren]

Okay

So now you drag that button into that field in on click

[polar acorn]

Okay and did you drag that object into the slot or did you drag the script file

[young warren]

I'll just step away now

[polar acorn]

Maybe if enough other people repeat what you said right away they'll figure it out

[timid gale]

(Trying to figure it out) 😂

[polar acorn]

The script file is not an object. You cannot drag the script file into your button the same way you cannot drive the schematic of a car

[summer stump]

Just drag the FindGame_Button from the hierarchy into the slot

The button. NOT the script

[polar acorn]

You drag in a game object with the script on it into the slot

Then you can choose a function from one of that objects components

[timid gale]

OMFG; I got it, thanks.

[timid gale]

I actually did that the first time but, it didn't work so, I thought I did something wrong.

[summer stump]

It looked like the script wasn't attached to the button in the first screenshot?
Did you add it after we said to?

Not sure why it wouldn't work otherwisd

[timid gale]

It was there, hence the confusion.
And my dumb brain not getting around it.

(I have ZERO experience in coding and figuring things out as I go.) 😅

Probably not the smartest idea to go about things BUT, I'm making progress. 😂

[timber tide]

Only going to get so far without learning some coding. Best to start now with some c# tutorials.

[merry spade]

[unreal phoenix]

What would a way to perfectly subtract a direction from a velocity?

Walking at a wall on an angle, subtracting the walking velocity in the walk that is parallel to the normal of the wall

[wintry quarry]

Project the velocity vector on the surface normal.

Subtract the projection from the original vector

[unreal phoenix]

Just to be crystal clear, this is the result I am looking for

[unreal phoenix]

I will try this

Though I am not sure what you mean by projecting it

[bitter carbon]

anyone know if there is a way to like wait 1 seconds in soem code

[wintry quarry]

Vector projection

Vector3.ProjectOnPlane

[bitter carbon]

like it pauses the code, 1 seconds later it unpauses

[unreal phoenix]

Ah

[fossil drum]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html has waitforseconds in it.

[bitter carbon]

i dotn wanna do a coroutine, is there any other ways

[unreal phoenix]

Async tasks, probably not as useful for what you want though

[fossil drum]

Do you have any reason why not to use a coroutine?

[bitter carbon]

not really just cant be bothered to do it all

its a bit strnage there isnt just a : WaitForSeconds(4)

[unreal phoenix]

I mean, that's just how it works though

[bitter carbon]

ok ig ill do a coroutine

[timber tide]

You can do a timer loop, which is pretty basic

[bitter carbon]

is this a joke?

[silk night]

C# is case sensitive

waitfor1sec
waitfor1Sec

are not the same

[short hazel]

And the coroutine must be out of whatever method you've put it in here

Else Unity won't be able to call it

[unreal phoenix]

What IDE are you using, are you checking intellisense or errors? Do you have completion suggestions?

[short hazel]

Looks like VS 2022, seeing the font and the indentation guide lines

[simple sun]

can someone explain to me how this works?
im doing a regular raycast on the default layer which everything in the game is on right now
but for some reason, the raycast detect whats behind the player
but my debug draw shows it hit the player

it is supposed to hit the player btw, and when i move my character, it does detect my player being hit

void Update()
    {
        Debug.DrawRay(sun.position, transform.position - sun.position, Color.red, 1);
        RegenHealth();
        SunDamage();
        print("Health: " + health);
    }

void SunDamage()
    {
        if (species != Life.Species.Vampire) return;
        RaycastHit hitObject;
        Vector3 direction = transform.position - sun.position;

        if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, direction.normalized, out hitObject, direction.magnitude, raycastLayer))
        {
            print(hitObject.transform.name);
            if(hitObject.transform == transform)
            {
                TakeDamage(100 * Time.deltaTime);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            print("nothing hit");
        }
    }

[short hazel]

If you remove the layer mask from the raycast, does it detect the player correctly?

Also it's a layer mask right, not just a single layer?

[simple sun]

it does not detect my player

[simple sun]

yes, layermask

but for now, its on default

[ripe shard]

Remove the mask, try again, if that doesn’t work make sure your math is right and colliders exist.

[simple sun]

already done

[ripe shard]

This is the default process everyone uses to debug raycasts

[wise fractal]

can someone help why theres an error (I want to use GetFloat/Int and not Haskey) cs if (PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("sumTime", time); { time = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("sumTime"); timeTXT.text = Mathf.Round(time).ToString();

[simple sun]

well, as i said
already done
spr2 told me to remove it
i removed it
the debug.drawray shows the math is right
and i checked to make sure my collider is there
and it is
which the raycast debug also shows

[short hazel]

Extend the ray distance a bit

The exact magnitude from the vector might just be falling short

[simple sun]

extended by 50%, same result

[short hazel]

You need to use HasKey for the if. The syntax of the if is also incorrect, you're missing a closing parenthesis and the semicolon ; is not supposed to be there.

[ripe shard]

your debug doesnt use the same arguments as your raycast

[verbal dome]

Are you trying to check if "sumTime" exists? Why not use haskey?

[simple sun]

it uses the same math

[ripe shard]

that does not matter, if you want to debug something you have to put in the exact same variables, otherwise its pointless

[simple sun]

thats kinda impossible as they dont take the same arguments

[ripe shard]

they take the same values for the corresponding parameters

[short hazel]

The debug starts with the sun's position, the raycast with this Transform's position

That's not right

[simple sun]

and thats what i give them

[simple sun]

i think you spotted it

[simple sun]

yes, thats the mistake i did
thanks for your help

[ripe shard]

and you would have spotted it too if you had used the exact same values for the debug and the raycast and not just assumed that you did it all right

[verbal dome]

You syntax looks very off actually..; after the if and missing parenthesis 🤔
What are you trying to do

[simple sun]

a debug doesnt take all these arguments (for it to be really exact same values)
which is why i said its impossible to give it the same
i understood what you meant wrong
nothing about me assuming i did it right, as i knew i wasnt because it wasnt working

[ripe shard]

but it would have taken the sun.position

[simple sun]

again
i understood you wrong
which is why i didnt catch the mistake at first

but its ok
spr2 helped me see the mistake

[ripe shard]

you can use this to fix those issues and just have all physics casts be drawn automatically with the exact same API https://github.com/vertxxyz/Vertx.Debugging

[eager elm]

that's just the editor behaviour, try it out in Build & Play

[tacit grotto]

Is there a way to disable collision between 2 layers or objects mid game?

[vocal marlin]

yes

Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(col1, col2, false);

or just Physics if its a 3d game

[pearl flower]

In Build my colliders of ragdoll doesn't change position or rotation. It's only in Build.

[calm coral]

Hey I was wondering what Vector3.Reflect() can be used for? For stuff like bullet ricochet? Raycasting on a surface and guessing how will it bounce?

[heady nimbus]

Does OnDisable get called when you exit play mode as well?

[slender nymph]

yes

[heady nimbus]

Well bummer..

[slender nymph]

it can be used for anything you might need to reflect a direction vector for. so yes ricochet and other things like that would be included in that

[calm coral]

Okay, thanks!

[lone sable]

Given a sprite, that has Alpha Padding. Is it possible to ignore the Alpha Padding via shader or by code?

[ripe shard]

Also for guns that shoot rays that bounce 3 times off walls

[heady nimbus]

I have a loot drop script for dropping items when the enemy is destroyed, and I was trying to keep it completely independent of the enemy logic by instantiating the dropped item during loot droppers OnDisable, but quickly realized how incorrect that was.

Should I just call the item drop from the enemy or is there a correct way to do what I was originally trying that would keep them separate?

[silver flicker]

Yo, so I need a little help here, I need myself a little bit of guidance on how I would create a 360 degree dashing system, where this ball will dash toward the mouse without using the LookAt() function and have a set speed and time / cooldown

[heady nimbus]

Capture position of the mouse on input (dash button) and AddForce in that direction?

If you want it on a cooldown, just start a coroutine that sets a flag when cd is over.

[silver flicker]

Is there a way to do that without using 'transform.__' bc I can't use that to my knowledge without using the lookat function

[mild mortar]

I'm trying to fix the issue of my character bouncing down a slope, I found a tutorial that gave the details to make a method "VelocityToSlope".

But because their original movement is done differently, I can't seem to implement it the same way they show in the video.

Does anyone know how I can use it with my current code?

https://paste.ofcode.org/39HxWdtNm7udSzHtAHXqaX3

[silver flicker]

How would u do that?

[heady nimbus]

If the ball has a rigid body on it, you can use the AddForce function. That's not from the transform component.

And you can absolutely use transform to move without using LookAt. I believe LookAt just changes the Vector2.forward? I could be wrong

[silver flicker]

I think I got it, thanks man

[buoyant knot]

do you use a dynamic or kinematic RB?

if you use dynamic RBs, bouncing/deflecting will be an issue

what I have done in the past is store last frame’s velocity, and if we just hit a slope (from a not grounded state), then roll back to old velocity, and calculate the new velocity you want

it isn’t perfect, but that happens when you are asking the physics system to do the calculations for you

[mild mortar]

I don't think it's kinematic that's it set to

[buoyant knot]

i spent a lot of effort on this sort of problem

reverting the velocity and setting it to what you want is probably what you want

at least it is closer

let me back up a bit: you have X velocity on a dynamic RB. then you ram into a slope

the physics system makes you slide AND changes your velocity based on the elastic collision

my solution for this requires like 4 different parts

1. When you first hit a slope, revert velocity back to last frame.
2. Give yourself zero gravity when on ground/slopes

3. when on ground, calculate proper velocity based on slope normals

4. when grounded, addForce in a vector dependent on slope normals

i think there was another critical detail, but I think these are all crucial

i am currently in the process of giving up and making my own kinematic character controller

i spent a lot of time trying to make it work with a dynamic RB. You can make it work, but it is not easy

[mild mortar]

Yeah it sounds like a lot has to go into this 😅

[harsh owl]

I got a Problem, When steering/rotating, my rigidbody doesnt move in the direction the cube/car is rotated but it just moves on the Z axis (forward and backwards, but not in the direction the RB is facing). Im trying to recreate F-zero movement. Also, i cant move and rotate/steer at the same time, only one at a time

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
{
    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

    Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -steeringSpeed * horizontalInput, 0);

    carRigidbody.MoveRotation(carRigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

    Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, steeringSpeed * horizontalInput, 0);

    carRigidbody.MoveRotation(carRigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
    movementInput = new Vector3(0, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
    carRigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + movementInput * Time.deltaTime * accelerationSpeed);
}
else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
{
    movementInput = new Vector3(0, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
    carRigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + movementInput * Time.deltaTime * accelerationSpeed);
}

[buoyant knot]

is there a way to link Unity inspector tooltip to the XML <summary> ?\

[woven kestrel]

Hello, does anyone know why my project crashes when I click the "Menu Principal" button? (If you need a code, ask me)

[summer stump]

We will always need the code 😄

Can't say much without it

I'll say it doesn't look like a crash to me though. Maybe linked to the wrong scene?

Show a screenshot of the button inspector too

[swift crag]

perhaps you're using LoadSceneAsync and did not allow the operation to complete

so the scene is loading forever

but yes. code please.

[young warren]

for not being able to rotate/steer at the same time, use all if, not else if

for your other problem, please google "rigidbody move position with local rotation unity". i found a few results with that

[harsh owl]

i found a solution, thanks buddy

This is the button I use to return to the main menu.

whith this script

https://paste.myst.rs/m59s5kwk

[swift crag]

is "AwakeScene" the scene you're intending to load?

[woven kestrel]

yes

[swift crag]

Does that scene work if you start it directly?

check what info messages are being logged, just in case they're relevant

you have them hidden here

[woven kestrel]

The problem comes when you tried to load a second time

[swift crag]

oh, you're loading the "Carga" scene

[woven kestrel]

They are only checkpoint messages

[swift crag]

which then uses LoadSceneAsync to load the "AwakeScene" scene

is that correct?

I need to see the code that does that.

[woven kestrel]

okey

[woven kestrel]

https://paste.myst.rs/w9z4pery

[swift crag]

hm, that looks okay

I would add some log statements to the coroutine

when you start, during the loop, and when you end

LoadScene is definitely getting called, since AwakeScene starts loading

and it looks like the progress bar is full, too

[woven kestrel]

Look, if I remove the "Cargo" scene the same thing still happens

[swift crag]

Oooh, I think I get it

Do you set the timescale to 0 when you pause the game?

You aren't setting it back

So deltaTime is always 0

The loading screen got stuck, because it used deltaTime, and the car select + game scenes aren't doing anything

You need to reset it either immediately when you click the quit button, or when you load the title scene

[woven kestrel]

https://paste.myst.rs/dttq96eo

this is my pause menu

[swift crag]

if Continue isn't called when you quit back to the main menu, the time scale will remain at 0

[woven kestrel]

thank you so much

[swift crag]

no prob (:

was a weird-looking one

[woven kestrel]

and what can I do to correct it

[swift crag]

One tip -- use Time.unscaledDeltaTime instead of Time.deltaTime if you want to ensure something is measured in real-world time

[swift crag]

I would set the timescale to 1 when the pause menu object is destroyed. That would guarantee that the timescale is reset when the pause menu goes away

Or you could just set it when the button is clicked

It probably calls a method. You could do it in that method.

[woven kestrel]

okay

thanks

[sturdy lintel]

hey quick question, can anyone tell me how do we get the center of sphere & radius of sphere, without the use of colliders ??
So I have a plane in unity, whose child is a sphere. and I want to get it's center P & radius

[languid spire]

If the sphere has a renderer then https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer-bounds.html

[swift crag]

I'm not really clear on what you're doing here.

does the sphere's diameter match the width of the plane?

[sturdy lintel]

I need to check if my projection poin P is within the sphere or not. But I don't wish to use colliders or renderers

[sturdy lintel]

yes it does

[swift crag]

"projection point"?

explain what you're actually doing here

what are you trying to make your game do?

not "find the center of the sphere". i'm talking about gameplay here.

[languid spire]

This is stupid, the center of the sphere is the center of the plane and the radius is half the width of the plane, 1st grade stuff

[wintry quarry]

Is your sphere's radius and center not clearly defined somewhere? Why would you need to "get" it?

There's no way to have a Sphere without already knowing it's center and radius, since those two data points define the sphere in the first place

[swift crag]

getting major XY vibes from this

especially since, as Steve pointed out, the math for the example above is completely trivial

[flat slate]

what is the best way to make trees in a topdown game

[rich adder]

Not sure where the code question is ?

[flat slate]

you right

[sturdy lintel]

private bool isWithinRegion(Vector3 point, GameObject barrier)
    {
        Vector3 sphereCenter = barrier.transform.Find("ActiveRegion").transform.position;
        float sphereRadius = barrier.transform.Find("ActiveRegion").transform.localScale.x * 0.5f;
        float dist = (point - sphereCenter).magnitude;
        Debug.Log(sphereCenter + " point=" + point + " " + dist);

        if (dist <= sphereRadius) return true;
        else return false;
    }```

so this is what I am trying to do

I need to check if my "point" is within the sphere

but this doesn't seem to be working

any clue?

[keen dew]

Log all the values and see which ones are not what you expected

[slender nymph]

also consider caching the result of that Find call instead of calling transform.Find twice within the same method

[wintry quarry]

What's with this transform.Find an reading local scale stuff?

Put a script on the barrier and just give it a TestPoint or IsPointInRange function and handle it there

Give it a real "radius" property, don't rely on Transform scale. This stuff is super finicky

[buoyant knot]

i strongly recommend against using .Find

praetor speaks truth

It’s ok to have a script with <50 lines of code. So easy to manage

[gilded sinew]

peeps, this is stuck for 10 minutes now after i added unity play store plug in

is the process over and i can press x or i wat more idk

HandL.GetComponent<CircleCollider2D>()

[tacit grotto]

Damn

Many thanks!

[meager gust]

Project your movement vector onto the the slope's plane

you'll get a new movement vector pointed down/up the slope

that should solve your problem with bouncing down a slope

[mild mortar]

I'll give it a try. Thanks ❤️

[wintry quarry]

you're trying to use UnityEditor stuff in a build

UnityEditor is available in the editor only

[civic oriole]

How do I fix this then?

I would like to have the script and not delete it

[wintry quarry]

Stop using Editor only code in your production script

Why are you using EditorGUILayout; ?

If this is for the game itself you should only use GUILayout

ok seems like an editor only script then

it shouldn't be included in your build

[civic oriole]

how to remove this from my build?

[wintry quarry]

put it in an Editor folder

[civic oriole]

you mean a folder in assets?

called Editor?

So basically i already ahve a code and it works but when i use the same code but try and load a diffrent scene it does not work

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class SceneLoader: MonoBehaviour
{
public void LoadScene ()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("Game");
}
}

thats thew code

[wintry quarry]

What about it doesn't work?

How are you calling the LoadScene function?

oh alr

[solid mantle]

What do you mean???

sorry im just confused because im new to coding and stuff like this

[wintry quarry]

Code doesn't just magically run on its own

you have to call it somehow

YOu said you are using a button? YOu mean a UI button? Show how you set that up

[solid mantle]

ok

Im using a button ui and all i did was go and press create ui then well add the button and i named did all of that then i went and added the code like i did with the other button

[wintry quarry]

show it

[solid mantle]

ok

[wintry quarry]

screenshots

[bold ice]

im tryna write a first person camera

using

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity;
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity;

to get the mouse movement, then used
transform.Rotate(mouseY, mouseX, 0, Space.World);
and noticed it fks about and makes the camera roll

what's the best way to combat this?

me and 3d space dont go well together

[wintry quarry]

follow a tutorial - there are many of them and they solve this in many ways

commona pproach is to use two objects - the palyer and the camera as a child of thje player

[solid mantle]

what it lookes like for what i did before

[timid gale]

How do I get my script to show on the TextMesh??

I know my script is correct because, it shows on the TextMesh in the Inspector BUT, it doesn't show where the text 'should be' in the game when I hit play to test it.....

Am I missing something stupidly simple here????

[solid mantle]

now what i did for it

[wintry quarry]

right see how it says "no function"?

[solid mantle]

yea

[wintry quarry]

YOu need to set that up like in the first one.

[solid mantle]

oh alr let me do that

[wintry quarry]

From a code perspective that should work but why are you using TextMesh as part of your UI? TextMesh is a 3D game world text

Did you mean to use TextMeshPro - Text (UI)?

TextMesh is not going to show up in the UI

[timid gale]

When I use TMP-Text; it doesn't work in the Inspector at all but, with Text Mesh; it does.

[wintry quarry]

it will work in the inspector as long as you use the correct type in your script

TMP_Text

you have TextMesh in your script, which is wrong

[timid gale]

OMFG, I'm an idiot

Cheers

[solid mantle]

ok so i tried to do that and realized that its not the same

this the one im working on thats not working

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show the code for SceneManager2

[solid mantle]

and this is the one thats not working

[wintry quarry]

you only showed the SceneLoader code

show SCeneManager2 code

[solid mantle]

ok

Code for the one thats not working

Code for one that is working

[wintry quarry]

This is the wrong script

This is SceneLoader

Show SceneManager2

They should not have the same class name

[solid mantle]

the one that i said is not working is the one up top and i kept changing the name because i thought i did something to it

[wintry quarry]

The name of the script needs to match the class name

You also need to eliminate all compile errors

[solid mantle]

So i fixed one of the errors in the script but unity still says this

[polar acorn]

Did you save

[solid mantle]

yea i did

[polar acorn]

Show code

[solid mantle]

ok

scroll up for older codes but this is the code that has one last error thing

[polar acorn]

1. This is not SceneManager2
2. Your line of code has a space in it

[harsh owl]

im currently using rigidbody.moveposition for my hovercar controller. How can i let my hovercar reduces its speed slowly after letting go of the acceleration button? Right now after i let go it instantly stops

[swift crag]

instead of just calling MovePosition with a value based off of the player's current input, smooth it out a little

e.g.

smoothedMove = Vector3.MoveTowards(smoothedMove, input, Time.deltaTime * accelerate);

[harsh owl]

i thought about that but i couldnt get i work

thanks ill try implementing that

[swift crag]

If it's a non-kinematic rigidbody, you could also use its current velocity

So you'd move the current velocity towards the player's desired velocity a little, then move the hovercar with that

[harsh owl]

its non kinematic

but im not using gravity

[vale mountain]

i have a script (audiomanager) with a playfootsteps() function that plays footstep sound when called. i found that it is being called using debug.log()s and stuff but the actual sound isnt playing. this is the settings on each audiosource that is being played

[harsh owl]

ive tried this now

for(float currentVelocity = carRigidbody.velocity.magnitude; currentVelocity > 0; currentVelocity--)
carRigidbody.MovePosition(carRigidbody.position * Time.deltaTime * accelerationSpeed); 

but its not doing anything, is that how you thought i should do it?

[swift crag]

this doesn't make much sense to me

[harsh owl]

[swift crag]

MovePosition moves a rigidbody towards a position

You're moving it towards..its position, times delta time, times an acceleration speed

[harsh owl]

makes sense

[swift crag]

You would want to take its current position and add something to it

Although, since it's non-kinematic, why not just set its velocity directly?

[summer stump]

does it?

[swift crag]

does it tho

[swift crag]

The for loop also does not make sense.

I guess it would call MovePosition more if the velocity was higher

[harsh owl]

some post on google said movePosition doesnt affect rigidbody velocity

[swift crag]

It is meant to be used with kinematic rigidbodies, I think

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MovePosition.html

Moves the kinematic Rigidbody towards position.

so just set the velocity

rb.velocity = Vector3.MoveTowards(rb.velocity, input, Time.deltaTime * acceleration);

e.g.

You could also adjust the acceleration rate depending on whether the input is non-zero

that'd make you speed up quickly and slow down more gradually

[harsh owl]

imma see what i can do

thanks

the OnTriggerEnter of my bullet doesnt works

yeah,both objects have a rigidbody and the bullet has a collision trigger

by some reason the bullets bounce off objects and do not pass through them

or maybe it's the gun script, I changed it so that the bullets came out of the gun but were centered on the player's crosshair after being shoot

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            Shoot();
        }
    }```

    {

        //Find the exact hit position using a raycast
        Ray ray = fpsCam.ViewportPointToRay(new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0)); //Just a ray through the middle of your current view
        RaycastHit hit;

        //check if ray hits something
        Vector3 targetPoint;
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))

        float y = Random.Range(-spread, spread);

        GameObject currentBullet = Instantiate(bullet, attackPoint.position, Quaternion.identity); //store instantiated bullet in currentBullet

        currentBullet.transform.forward = directionWithSpread.normalized;


        currentBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(directionWithSpread.normalized * shootForce, ForceMode.Impulse);

its better to pay attention to this

[teal viper]

Try drawing a few debug rays for the final direction, as well as outputting the name of the hit object.

Wasn’t sure what channel to ask this in but does Prefab (Isolation) mode work functionally or just visually? Like if I open a prefab in isolation can it still find stuff like singletons that live in the currently open scene? Or is it a proper isolated workspace

[teal viper]

You mean the prefab edit mode?

[sour fulcrum]

Yes

[teal viper]

Hard to say. I think it acts as a separate scene. Might be wrong though.

In any case you shouldn't be relying on any code working correctly in it.

[sour fulcrum]

That's what I'm looking to correct yeah. Have a feeling it might be still finding them but wanted to vibe check here before diving into reworking my stuff just incase someone had some wise sage words for me 😛

[gloomy jacinth]

Can someone help me. I am trying to make climbing physics like the game Tunnels on app lab. But nothing is working. Videos are telling me i need an XR Direct Climb Interactor but i dont have one. Can someone please help? That would be AMAZING!

[tender stag]

better way to write this?

[teal viper]

If it's VR related, better ask in #🥽┃virtual-reality
Otherwise, share more details and code.

[teal viper]

Your way is not really bad, but you could make it shorter:

eatDelay -= Time.deltaTime;
eatDelay = Mathf.Max(0, eatDelay);

Could also put the eatDelay - delta right in the Max parameters.

[tender stag]

like this? delay = Mathf.Max(delay - Time.deltaTime, 0);

[unreal imp]

What would that be like?

[teal viper]

Yes.

[unreal imp]

ok,I'm going to try to find out

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a day cycle system where I calculate the time of day depending on real world Unix time, however I'm having a problem where the following float is returning NaN, does modulus only work for integers in c#?
```private float cycleFract()
{
return hourFract() % (1/cyclesPerHour);
}

private float hourFract()
{
    DateTime getTime = DateTime.Now;
    int getSecond = getTime.Minute * 60 + getTime.Second;
    return getSecond / 3600f;
}```

[summer stump]

Modulo does not only work with ints

DateTime.Now returns the date AND time btw

Perhaps you wanted DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay?

[olive lintel]

nah that part works fine for me its only when I try to get the modulo of hourFract and 1/cyclesPerHour I get returned NaN :/

[summer stump]

Oh that part was just for simplifying not to fix it (which is why I said btw). Sorry for the confusion

[eternal needle]

What value is cycleFract supposed to be? Can you give a math example, this seems like a weird calculation

[olive lintel]

its a float between 0 and 1 to represent the point during the current day/night cycle

so say theres 5 cycles per hour

well a more easy example would be 60 actually

basically every second would be 1/60th of a day cycle if that makes sense ig

[eternal needle]

If it returned a float between 0 and 1, that means you wouldve done % 2, not 1 / X

[olive lintel]

well this version of the function wasn't finished I was just trying to figure out why I was getting NaN I found a workaround though finally

    {
        float getHourFract = hourFract();
        float getDivisor = getHourFract / (1f / cyclesPerHour);
        int divisorToInt = (int)getDivisor;
        float lastHourFract = (float)divisorToInt * (1f / cyclesPerHour);
        float nextHourFract = (float)(divisorToInt + 1) * (1f / cyclesPerHour);
        return (getHourFract - lastHourFract)/(nextHourFract - lastHourFract);
    }

    private float hourFract()
    {
        DateTime getTime = DateTime.Now;
        int getSecond = getTime.Minute * 60 + getTime.Second;
        return getSecond/3600f;
    }```

basically this is what I was trying to figure out sorry for wasting time guys :/

[eternal needle]

If you want 5 cycles an hour, I would just take the minutes and then divide by 12 for the int result

[olive lintel]

uhm wait how would that work cause like wouldn't it look kinda odd cause I'm trying to lerp between lighting values

so if it was like

wouldn't it kinda like jump tho

like the time would skip a bit cause the integers arent like 100% accurate to a floating point number

idk how to describe what I'm trying to say rn 💀

[eternal needle]

Yea not really sure what you're trying to say, but this calculation seems a bit extensive for basically an in game timer.
I dont get why you need the IRL time if your day night cycles in game are way more frequent. If you need a day/night timer just add by time.deltaTime and multiply by the cycles per hour

[acoustic arch]

in my coding course i keep getting this dumb one wrong

what is the shorthand for

x = x*y

i did

x *= y

and got it wrong

what in the world?

[summer stump]

How was it wrong?

[acoustic arch]

it didn't tell me

thing is i'm doing a bunch of other coding stuff much more complex for my games so this course feels stupid

[summer stump]

8 = 8 * 2
Is the same as
8 *= 2....

[acoustic arch]

jus trying to learn more c#

yeah i know
