[summer stump]

Not much anyone could ever say without code or seeing anything useful (like the animator window)
Also, maybe try #🏃┃animation ?
Probably an issue with the transitions I'd guess

[brazen canyon]

I mean I have never seen such problem even though I had worked with Animations before

Thanks for your suggestions

[barren meteor]

I want to get rid of 'MENU' when I click the play button, can someone tell me how this is wrong? the script is in playbutton

[teal viper]

You don't actually disable it anywhere

[barren meteor]

what do you mean?

[teal viper]

Exactly what it sounds like. You don't disable the menu anywhere in your code

[barren meteor]

I am guessing this is wrong

[teal viper]

Oh, there was another screenshot

didn't notice it. That's why you should share code properly

So, seeing how the second log is not printed, MENU seems to be null.

Did you actually assign it?

[barren meteor]

assign what?

I don't think so

[teal viper]

The reference to MENU. Otherwise how does it gonna know what to disable?

[barren meteor]

ok thanks

[chilly moss]

does any1 know why my text is just gone?

[teal viper]

Perhaps the error in the console is relevant?

[chilly moss]

no

[teal viper]

Are you sure?

[chilly moss]

its talking about the coins i added to the game, not the text

[teal viper]

Okay.
I thought it would warn you about it, but you miss a font asset in that text component.

Did you actually import tmp essentials?

Or read that window message at all? 😄

[chilly moss]

oh thanks bro

my apologies im quite new to programming

[teal viper]

Yeah. Don't ignore messages popping up on your screen. They're ususally important.

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys. What would be a way to say for example, if my character gets 100 exp he will level up? Because if I write something like cs if (experience > 100) { give 1 level } it will give me 1 level non stop. and if I use experience == 100 but I have 98 exp and now I have 102 it was never 100, so what would be a logic to make it work?

[eternal needle]

it will give me 1 level non stop. and if I use
Sounds like you are checking this in update constantly, which you really shouldnt need to do. Give them xp, level them up, remove 100 exp on level up

[copper pumice]

if (experienceToNextLevel >= experienceNeeded) {
  giveLevel();
  experienceToNextLevel -= experienceNeeded;
}

Something like this should work^^

[eternal needle]

probably not = 0, subtract 100 so you dont lose out on overflowing xp

[solemn fractal]

oh ok, and I can maybe store the all time experience in another variabvle

and reset the one to check if level up to zero always

good ok thank you

[copper pumice]

true, just whipped it up real fast

[solemn fractal]

great thank you !

[neon ivy]

what is the data type for a variable to store the time and date a new profile was created?

I tried DateTime but it just wants to auto complete to DataSetDateTime which isn't it

[languid spire]

System.DateTime

[neon ivy]

ah

oh darn it's not serialized

[languid spire]

fyi if you google C# DateTime and look at the MS Docs page it tells you which namespace you need

[languid spire]

no but you can use the .Ticks property if you want to serialize the data

[sullen rock]

https://gdl.space/ifuyevojun.cs

not sure if this question belongs here, but does anybody have an idea why this wouldnt work in build but would in unity?

[languid spire]

you're gonna need to be a lot more specific in your question

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "work" and "not work" exactly?

well, its a script I shamelessly stole on the internet that bakes lightning into prefabs

the newly baked maps do appear in unity play mode, but after build, they arent there

[chilly moss]

my character wont move right, any fixes?

[wintry quarry]

Why not just use GetAxis/GetAxisRaw instead of duplicating all this code?

[chilly moss]

it doesnt really matter tho

[wintry quarry]

Start debugging

[chilly moss]

the computer hasnt registered it as a bug

[wintry quarry]

What?

[chilly moss]

on my console, there isnt any red text

[wintry quarry]

So you know what a bug is? The computer cannot recognize bugs

Those aren't bugs

Those are errors

Bugs are when your code doesn't behave as expected

[chilly moss]

oh

how do you debug it then?

[wintry quarry]

Log statements

[quaint thicket]

I have the follow code and for some reason the Debug is return null. Any ideas? ```cs
Test Something = Test.Testing();

public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{

    public static Test Testing()
    {
        Test obj = new Test();
        Debug.Log("Testing: " + obj);
        return obj;
    }

}

[wintry quarry]

Is one easy way

[wintry quarry]

You cannot create a MonoBehaviour with new()

[chilly moss]

alr thx

[quaint thicket]

I see

[wintry quarry]

Only with AddComponent or Instantiate

[quaint thicket]

I thought it was working totally fine before.... oh well

[wintry quarry]

Maybe before it wasn't a MonoBehaviour

[sullen rock]

dare me

(this is not an educational piece of code nobody please do this)

[wintry quarry]

You shouldn't* and it won't do what you want*

[quaint thicket]

Maybe I was using a class within a MonoBehaviour class

Anyways, the test is working now. This stumped me for a day. Thank you very much.

[neon ivy]

I'm following a tutorial and am slightly confused by the reason for having this instance variable and just noticed they used it to reference this script by doing DataPersistenceManager.instance. without actually making a reference and dragging it into a field in the inspector. how does this work?
like, this data persistence manager class isn't static so I don't get how it just knows which script to get the .instance from

[hallow badger]

As a first person movement playercam move by mouse and keyboard. do you that in the script start or update string? I think update because of the input that i do..

[wintry quarry]

It's a static instance property referring to the single instance

This is quite standard for a singleton

As you can see the property is assigned in Awake

[neon ivy]

how do I know this is a singleton, I know I implemented destroying duplicates but I don't know what makes it a singleton

[languid spire]

The very fact that you destroy potential duplicate classes ensures that there can only be one SINGLE instance

[neon ivy]

is that all that's needed for a singleton?

[languid spire]

yes

[neon ivy]

[languid spire]

A singleton is just a workaround of having a static reference (instance) to a non static class

[neon ivy]

I should make more of these

sounds very useful

[languid spire]

don't overuse it or you will end up in Singleton hell which is not a nice place to be

[neon ivy]

xD thanks for the warning

[mental wren]

Is anyone familiar with unity navmeshing? How bad is it and what is the best documentation resource available

[languid spire]

It's actually very good when used correctly, the best docs are always the Unity ones and can be found here https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/NavMeshComponents/tree/master/Documentation

This is for the 'old' version btw but the docs are still relevant

[finite star]

Old version is better honestly

Does anyone know how to make low poly water in unity? I feel like making it in Blender 3d and animating it, but the issue is the water needs to be endless.

[languid spire]

this shows it is not

[teal viper]

If you create a chunk of water that connects seamlessly to itself, you could just keep on spawning them in a certain radius around the player.

Otherwise, you'd need to think of some procedural generation method in unity.

What about external tools?

[languid spire]

Edit->Preferences->External Tools

[teal viper]

It shouldn't be vague to you, as it's one of the steps in the config guide.

[queen adder]

Do i make it with a plane in unity or can i design/animate the water in Blender?

[teal viper]

Which one? I gave 2 options.

[queen adder]

The first one

[teal viper]

The first one you can make however you like.

[queen adder]

It's a runner game, so the water is meant to keep generating ahead

[finite star]

Create a procedural shader

[teal viper]

If you manage to make it connect seamlessly, that is.

Yeah, shader is another option.

A more complicated approach though.

[queen adder]

what about the dents in the water? this is how i made it in blender

[finite star]

You can add mesh variation using shader

One sec

[queen adder]

Can i use the one I made in blender and export it?

[teal viper]

Vertex displacement.

Yes, you can do whatever you want with a shader.

Given you know how to write/create it.

[languid spire]

in my example I declare a variable named someScript of type SomeScript so the it can be filled by the return value of GetComponent which will be of type SomeScript. If this is not obvious to you I would suggest you follow some basic C# tutorials

[teal viper]

Feels like you need to learn about types and objects.

[finite star]

I don’t think so, but there are Unity packages that you can use a template or just use them in your game. here’s a good low poly one https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/lowpoly-water-107563 Here’s the one I use: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/water/simple-water-shader-urp-191449

[queen adder]

ohh i see!

[teal viper]

Microsoft C# beginners course.

And many other learning materials online.

That's a very subjective question.

[languid spire]

btw there is no such thing as Unity C#. There is C# and there is the Unity API

[queen adder]

The first one worked perfectly for me, however how do I make object float on the animation of the water?

[finite star]

Add a mesh collider i think

[queen adder]

Did that, but it doesn't make the object animated with the waves.

[teal viper]

That's a pretty complex thing to do. You can look up some tutorials on wave physics simulation.

or "water physics"

[queen adder]

It seems rigidbody is the right way to do it

I think it's best if ijust animate the block instead

[finite star]

Absolutely. Simply reference the script, for example
public MyScript myScript;

And then in whatever function you want to change the value, type something like

myScript.valueToChange = 10

[queen adder]

I animated a block, is it possible to make a character remain on the block as it's animated?

My character is stuck mid air when the block moves around

Could someone help me please? My character is supposed to remain on a block whom i have animated to rotate and move up and down a bit, my character remains on the block, but it doesn't follow the animation pattern of the block beneath it

I added box collision and rigidbody for both of them

I believe I found the issue, it's the collider that doesn't move with the block's animation :/

[uneven parcel]

Hey everyone.
I am trying to make a camera thats inside a car.
You can move around the cursor and the camera will rotate to it but I also want the camera to rotate with the car if the car rotates so the camera follows that rotation and the movement of your cursor.

The camera is a child of the car.

camera script:

 public float sensitivity = 2.0f;

 private Vector2 rotation = Vector2.zero;
 private Vector2 currentRotation;

 private void Start()
 {
     Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
     Cursor.visible = false;
 }

 void Update()
 {
     float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
     float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

     currentRotation.x -= mouseY * sensitivity;
     currentRotation.y += mouseX * sensitivity;

     // Clamp the vertical rotation to limit it within a specific range (e.g., -90 to 90 degrees).
     currentRotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(currentRotation.x, -90f, 90f);

     // Apply the rotation to the camera.
     transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentRotation.x, currentRotation.y, 0);
 }

car script:

public Rigidbody rb;
public float baseSpeed = 17;
public float acceleration = 2.0f;
public float brakeDeceleration = 10.0f;

Vector3 rotationRight = new Vector3(0, 0, 30);
Vector3 rotationLeft = new Vector3(0, 0, -30);

Vector3 forward = new Vector3(0, 0, 1);
Vector3 backward = new Vector3(0, 0, -1);

private float currentSpeed = 0.0f;

void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (Input.GetKey("w"))
    {
        currentSpeed += acceleration * Time.deltaTime;
    }
    else
    {
        currentSpeed -= acceleration * Time.deltaTime;
    }

    currentSpeed = Mathf.Clamp(currentSpeed, 0, baseSpeed);

    transform.Translate(Vector3.down * currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

    if (Input.GetKey("s"))
    {
        currentSpeed -= brakeDeceleration * Time.deltaTime;
    }

    if (Input.GetKey("d"))
    {
        Quaternion deltaRotationRight = Quaternion.Euler(rotationRight * Time.deltaTime);
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotationRight);
    }

    if (Input.GetKey("a"))
    {
        Quaternion deltaRotationLeft = Quaternion.Euler(rotationLeft * Time.deltaTime);
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotationLeft);
    }
}

[finite star]

Because you need to replace “MyScript” with the name of the script you are referencing

[ornate sparrow]

Hello
I have a repository on Git, there is a template for working with plugins
and I used this template in the project
now I have slightly updated the template in the template repository
how to organize an update in the project turnip already
those. Is it possible to somehow make a quick update from one repository to another?
maybe I can somehow make a private package in my asset store, where you make updates, and via PM you update the version in projects

[finite star]

I would just give the camera a parent object and then make the parent objects rotation follow that of the car. Then, make your camera controller script change the local rotation of the child object

[wintry quarry]

Use localRotation for the camera script not rotation

[finite star]

Oh true

[dawn sparrow]

praetor i see you everywhere

i was just looking at an online forum for help and you're just there

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        //    generationScript.GenerateNewArea(transform.position);
        print("hello");
    }
}

it doesnt print "hello"

[queen adder]

Could someone help me? My mesh from blender FBX exports the model horizontal, rather than vertical

[wintry quarry]

A Rigidbody is required for OnTriggerEnter

[merry spade]

huh?

ok

i'll try

[rich adder]

not a code question

[wintry quarry]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[merry spade]

yes it works now thank you

[queen adder]

ty, sorry bout that!

just looks like you're rotating on a wrong axis

otherwise looks perfect

looks like you're rotating on the z axis

That method is inside OnTriggerEnter
Move it out

But you also have it embedded inside the OnTriggerFunction, but that's another issue.

If you call it. It wasn't activated by OnTriggerEnter the way you had it (as your warning told you)

its weird Cuz the Z axes is not assigned in my script.

[wintry quarry]

can you show your car and camera objects in scene view, with Tool Handle Rotation set to "Local"?

[vast vessel]

is there a way to check if a coroutine is running in a if statement?

[wintry quarry]

you shouldn't need to really

have you added additional logging?

Is Cancel running properly?

[vast vessel]

i was debugging my coroutine and i dont want PrimaryAttackInputCanceled to send a debug statement to my console when the coroutine isnt even running. it just makes it harder to debug

[vast vessel]

from what ive seen it seems like it

oh wait

[timber tide]

StartCoroutine returns a Coroutine reference

[vast vessel]

actualy. when i was pressing and releasing the trigger rapidly it didn't execute once

[wintry quarry]

yeah that's the issue then

[wintry quarry]

you should turn Collapse OFF

so you can see the order in which these things happen

[wintry quarry]

yeah that's your problem

your car is oriented completely wrong

blue is supposed to be forward

green is supposed to be up

You will need to go back to blender or whatever 3d modeling program and re-export it properly for Unity

[timber tide]

Actually you can't use that reference to check if it's running on the mono strangely enough, but you can use it to stop it?

[wintry quarry]

there's no built in way to check if a coroutine is still running

workarounds are to use your own bool or explicitly set the coroutine reference to null in all places where it might stop.

[timber tide]

Yeah, it's odd you can remove it without having a method of checking beforehand.

[vast vessel]

its not just PrimaryAttackInputCanceled that isnt running. inputActionMap.Weapons.PrimaryAttack is not being canceled?

is it a problem with the input system?

[uneven parcel]

its a scatchfab model I used
Thanks for helping me!

[vast vessel]

@wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

Canceled probably won't run for the shoulder button until it's 100% released

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys, if I am using a filler image for my exp bar. But every time I pass a level the amout i need to the next one is dif.. how does the threshold that is 0 - 1 knows exactly the % to show?

[wintry quarry]

it doesn't know anything. You tell it what % to show as a portion from 0 to 1

your code will have to do the mapping from whatever your range is to the 0-1 range

[solemn fractal]

yeah.. but how do I do that if all the level have dif amout of exp needed?

[polar acorn]

If you see that log message then everything else also happens. Unless you have an error.

[wintry quarry]

With code?

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting to see that isn't happening?

[wintry quarry]

float fillAmount = currentExp / neededExp;```

[solemn fractal]

I am I am using like that.. but when I pass a level neve level it starts already in 50%

[wintry quarry]

I mean it's all up to your code logic

do the math

[polar acorn]

Then currentExp is half of neededExp

So you need to fix that

Look at the line it tells you something is null on. Make that value not be null

[solemn fractal]

exactly, but the prob is that the bar stays in 50% at start next level, and I want it to go to 0% .. and not being able to think about something how to fix it using the way I am like that: cs fillEXP.fillAmount = _player._playerAllTimeExp / _player._playerExpNextLevel;

[wintry quarry]

Simple math, no?

[polar acorn]

Because it's not a compile error. It's a runtime error

[solemn fractal]

prob but for a dumb guy in math like me .. its hard math

[polar acorn]

Then you will need to set _player._playerAllTimeExp back to 0

[solemn fractal]

at least i know I was going to the correct way and will try to figure it out here, Thank you guys !!

[wintry quarry]

float allTimeExp;
float nextLevelExp;
float prevLevelExp;

float fillAmount = (allTimeExp - prevLevelExp) / (nextLevelExp - prevLevelExp);```

[solemn fractal]

hmm ok will check the logic and try it, thank you !!!!!

[finite star]

DM me if you want

[polar acorn]

Did you fix your error

Because right now it looks like you're trying to change variables of nothing

Then do that

Of what

What thing are you trying to change the variables of

Okay where do you reference that script

And where do you assign a value to that variable

I'm not sure why you're showing me this

Where do you assign a value to the myScript variable

So myScript is null

Which is why you get a null reference exception

Because you're referencing null

null does not have .gravity or .jumpPower

[chilly moss]

When i started my game, this error repeated on 100 times /per second

[quasi rose]

did ya read it?

[chilly moss]

yeah im confused tho, i watched some tutorials on how to remove it but everyone just waffles on something that isn't even relevant to the problem I have

I'm wondering if anyone here knows about it

[quasi rose]

All good. Do you understand what it means when something is "null"?

[chilly moss]

no

[quasi rose]

Ok. So the error you're getting is a NullReferenceException as you can see in the text above.

First read what that means: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/NullReferenceException.html

[chilly moss]

oh so a reference variable isnt refering any object

and gets classed as null

[quasi rose]

Yeah. So if you look at your error message, try to understand what it says. It's actually telling you where the error is happening. Let me know if you need help understanding it. But try to tell me where the error is.

[chilly moss]

the error is located on my LevelControl object

[quasi rose]

What script is on that object?

[polar acorn]

Something on line 13 of CollectableControl is null but you're trying to use it anyway

So look at that line and see what's null

[chilly moss]

oh cheers lol

[polar acorn]

I'm literally just repeating what the error says

[polar acorn]

I gave you no information the error didn't

[quasi rose]

But all good. Just was surprised that someone actually wanted to try to understand for once.

[chilly moss]

thanks tho, much appreciated

[quasi rose]

Specifically, make sure you understand this part:

It's telling you exactly where the error is. You will get this error A LOT. So it's good to understand.

[languid spire]

I thought you were doing an excellent job of it as well, more people should try it

[chilly moss]

agreed

[polar acorn]

If you reference all of them individually

[summer stump]

When you clone them, keep a reference in a list. Iterate that list and change them all individually

That should definitely be something you know how to do before touching unity. Take a beginner C# course to refresh yourself if needed

    Item.layer = Default;
    Item.transform.parent = null;
    Item.transform.localScale = Itemscale;
    RaycastHit hitDown;
    Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, out hitDown);

    if(Item.transform.childCount > 0)
    {
        foreach (Transform e in Item.transform)
        {
            e.gameObject.layer = Default;
        }
    }

    foreach (var c in Item.GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>()) if (c != null) c.enabled = true;
    foreach (var r in Item.GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody>()) if (r != null) r.isKinematic = false;
}```

I'm also not getting any errors.

[timber tide]

Well, you log the very start of the code. May want to add a few more further in the code.

Just because it doesn't throw errors doesn't mean your logic is correct.

[twin bolt]

ok

[twin bolt]

I put it at the very end and i'm still getting the log.

[twin bolt]

Nevermind apparently, its one of the objects in my scene, that wont let me drop it.

You've got like a lingering raycast in your code there which I'm not too sure of its purpose.

[twin bolt]

Oh yea, let me delete that.

[twin bolt]

Actually the real error, was i was changing the current held object in update constantly, which was causing me to not be able to drop my current object.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html

What made you think coroutines could only be started at the start of the game

So don't start a new one if it's already running

Have a boolean that you set when you start a coroutine, and don't start a new one if that bool is set

[quasi rose]

If I'm generating the C# class from input system, and instaniating it in Awake, I would assume best thing is to just make this a singleton? Because for example my PlayerController script will need input, but then my BoatController script will need input, etc.

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys, If I make a math 12 - 10 and in debug view it shows me 1.8 what is wrong here?

[keen dew]

One of the values is not what you think it is or you're looking at the wrong output

[solemn fractal]

hmm well impossible. all the math is being done with whole numbers.. but well who knows thank you

[keen dew]

That's what they always say

[solemn fractal]

i amdoing actuall exp - expto next level.. and both are whole number haha

[finite star]

Are they both int variables?

[solemn fractal]

no float for now

[keen dew]

Debug.Log($"{exp} - {expToNextLevel} = {exp - expToNextLevel}"); and show what it prints. Use the actual variable names

[finite star]

For the value you want to be a while number do Mathf.RoundToInt(value)

[timber tide]

Not a bad idea, but using a service locator pattern for it would be better probably

[quasi rose]

oo interesting

i feel like i've done something similar before when working with csv and excel files, but that was factory pattern.

[timber tide]

It's just a minor thing if you decide to have like a local multiplayer or something you'd use that instead

[sharp abyss]

I have an fps game so I move camera with mouse.How can I use cursor on UI with an input?

[silk night]

What is the specific problem you have? What is preventing you from doing that?

[sharp abyss]

My cursor is locked and invisible

[silk night]

Unlock + make it visible when you open UI

[sharp abyss]

okay thanks

[queen adder]

Hey guys, how can I sort some gameobjetcs from closest to furthest from a point by using a script?

[silk night]

or use a modifier like some old games like tera, where you pressed alt to make the mouse visible again

[sharp abyss]

I did something like that

[silk night]

[Array of Gameobjects].Sort(Vector3.Distance);

[sharp abyss]

How can I stop the camera when cursor is visible?

[queen adder]

Thanks

[queen adder]

You could run the camera movement code in an if statement.

if (cursorIsVisible == false)
{
Move the camera;
}

[silk night]

Hey, sorry had that in mind wrong, here is better code:

            GameObject[] arrayOfGameObjects;
            arrayOfGameObjects.OrderBy(r => Vector3.Distance(point, r.transform.position));

point is your reference point

[queen adder]

Oh okay thank you

Now I understand

[eternal needle]

You could also compare the sqrMagnitude to avoid a bunch of sqrt calls

[solid verge]

how do i remove Z rotation from my gameobject

[solid verge]

nvm found it

[silk night]

In code? Reference the Text as TMP_Text, then you can modify the text property on it

a public property on your class, so you can assign it in the inspector

like public TMP_Text YourText;

then you can do YourText.text = "hello world" later in your code

[polar acorn]

.text =

[autumn bane]

hey i am making my first unity project and currently having issues with my imported house that i made with blender. Is there anything i can do to stop the walls from being transparent after entering the house

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

but also unity does not render backfaces

[autumn bane]

sorry

[wintry quarry]

Finish modelling the house

you did not model the interior

[glossy eagle]

Hi. Is there a way to hide those events under a dropdown or a checkbox or whatever (it just ocuppies a lot of visual space for the script in the inspector)

[slender nymph]

either put them inside a class or struct that you serialize or you'll need to use some editor code like a custom property drawer or whatever

alternatively you could get an asset like NaughtyAttributes or OdinInspector which include some Foldout attributes

.ToString

[glossy eagle]

I was already using the tetracreations attributes, would NaughtyAttributes work with the tetracreations one or they would try to overlap and break something?

[slender nymph]

i don't know. i've never even heard of that asset you are using

[glossy eagle]

oh

well I'll try the NaughtyAttributes you said, thanks

[slender nymph]

knowing how naughty attributes forces a custom inspector on all MonoBehaviours though, i imagine it won't work together with that other asset very well. however naughty attributes does have at least most of the attributes that other asset has

[silk night]

Tried looking up naughty attributes, is github having problems? I only get 404 for that repo

[slender nymph]

works for me 🤷‍♂️
https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes

[silk night]

oh well now it works again

tried the last 3 minutes, logging out and in and it only showed 404 😄

[slender nymph]

ToString returns the string. it doesn't magically convert that variable to a string in place

[short hazel]

The first two lines are unnecessary

[silk night]

        scoreText.text = score.ToString();
        score += 1

[slender nymph]

yeah so is the scoreText.Text + on the third line

also if you want to display it with a specific precision you can use a format string inside of the ToString call
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings

[rough aurora]

I often read about using interfaces as a good practise; still even though I already program for quite some time in unity, I very rarily find good use cases for interfaces, since my code worked just as well by just using concrete types or base classes. I know that I could add interfaces there as well, but to me this would just add an an unnecessary layer of abstraction. Is this normal in unity, or am I doing something wrong regarding my architecture?

[slender nymph]

honestly just use what makes sense to you. it can make sense to use interfaces, but that doesn't always mean they are necessary to use. a lot of the use cases for interfaces in unity can also just be a concrete class as a component. so just do whatever makes the most sense to you

for example, I personally like to use an IDamageable interface for objects that can take damage so that my types that deal damage can just use TryGetComponent(out IDamageable ...)
however this could easily just be achieved using a specific component that handles taking damage and applying it to a health component or whatever it needs to do

[rough aurora]

I see, I think I can grasp the use cases a lot better now, thank you!

[wintry quarry]

Composition (adding components to do things) is a more Unity way to do things IMO

I.e. instead of making a Player script that is IDamageable, you just additionally attach a Damageable component to the player object

[rough aurora]

That also seams reasonable, thanks, I will keep that in mind as well.

[verbal dome]

You probably also want to add to the score before converting it to a string, not after

[knotty gust]

is there a way to have code that runs when an if statements check fails?

or something like that when a while loop breaks

[silk night]

look for "else"

[knotty gust]

im using an interface in the check so i needed the specific reference but i think i found a way round it

[summer stump]

if (!condition)

Or else

Or just return in the if statement, so any code after only runs if the if statement failed

[civic aurora]

!code

[knotty gust]

i explained the problem really bad my fault

https://hatebin.com/crztuqfcil

i want the code to turn on a variable when the object is aimed at

but also turn off that variable when its not being aimed at

but i use an interface to reference the specific object that is being aimed at

so if the check to see if the interface is present on the component fails i cant edit the variable after the object stops being looked at

i had an idea that i could use a global variable to store the data of the last object with the interface and just update it through there if the check fails but i wanna see if theres any different ways

[wintry quarry]

Save a reference to the object in a variable

[summer stump]

1. you don't want that while loop.
2. use else
3. check input in update

[dawn sparrow]

what's going on here?

i can fix the error by casting the entire thing to byte but i'm wondering why this is happening and if theres a cleaner solution

[real vapor]

What line of code can you use to edit the rotation transform of an object?

[silk night]

transform.rotation = [value]

[real vapor]

I've tried that, its telling me its incorrect.

[silk night]

What does the error say?

[real vapor]

Hm, must be the operation I'm doing that's incorrect?

[timber tide]

Ya need Quaternions

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.Euler.html

[dawn sparrow]

unity uses quaternions to represent rotations, which a quaternion / certain rotation can be represented using Euler angles which you are likely more familiar with (traditional 0-360 degree rotations). Use the Quaternion.Euler(x rotation, y rotation, z rotation) function to generate a quaternion/rotation with x y and z axis rotations

[real vapor]

What about this?

[dawn sparrow]

ive personally never used the transform.Rotate() function

i think that has a similar effect to adding rotations like you were trying to do before

you usually store whatever rotation you're tracking as an external variable in degrees, then every frame in Update() setting transform.rotation to a new quaternion using that variable

[dawn sparrow]

bump

[eternal needle]

Why not just declare a byte and do some byte | anotherByte

[short hazel]

Bit-shift operators return int, as numbers get large very fast with those

[dawn sparrow]

I thought thats what i was doing

[dawn sparrow]

so what does casting to byte do? just chop off all but 8 bits?

[timber tide]

truncation

[dawn sparrow]

can you elaborate please

[timber tide]

basically chop it off

[short hazel]

Yep, but it also checks that the number is in range first, at compile-time

[timber tide]

lol

[dawn sparrow]

im really interesting in preserving the first 6 bits so

[short hazel]

Then you can AND if with 0b111111

yourNum & 0b111111

[dawn sparrow]

sounds a little expensive

[short hazel]

No? At compile-time

[dawn sparrow]

oooh sorry

read that as runtime

[short hazel]

This will still return an int, but here you can safely cast to a byte since you'll always end up with a number that has less than 8 bits

[dawn sparrow]

yeah

[short hazel]

Yeah about runtime with your first version, this will throw an exception if the value is out of range for a byte

[dawn sparrow]

currently just trying to figure out how to efficiently edit bits in a byte

[short hazel]

Yup with |, &, and ~ (invert all bits)

[dawn sparrow]

right

thanks for the help!

[short hazel]

Oh there's also ^ (exclusive-or), very useful if you need to toggle a specific bit on and off

[dawn sparrow]

so does this get automatically truncated at compile-time?

[wintry quarry]

Well that's just 0

there's nothing to truncate

always stored as 00000000 in memory

[short hazel]

At compile-time you'll get an error if the number is too large

Compiler is smart, and does static analysis of the number to see if it fits. Only works when the number is constant or known at compile-time like here

If you try to cast a number in a variable that's out-of-range, the compiler won't be able to check that, and you'll get an InvalidCastException at run-time

Compile-time error example (1 << 12 produces a 12-bit number, way above the 8 a byte can handle)

[dawn sparrow]

oooooooooooooooh

i was under the misconception that when i declated the byte with all those bits, it reserved that many bits in memory for the byte

was confused af

[short hazel]

Nope, it's just how the number is written, determining the size is done afterwards

You can even format the numbers with a separator, if they get too hard to read!

const int OneBillion = 1_000_000_000;

Discord's syntax highlighter surely doesn't like that

[dawn sparrow]

Didn’t know that

Thank for the help my man

[blissful trail]

anyone have any idea why physics are getting messed up when i build my game? they are moving way slower than normal

here is an example of the code

https://pastebin.com/4cjb1kbv

[keen dew]

because the movement code doesn't account for the frame rate

[polar acorn]

all of your movement is framerate dependent

[blissful trail]

oh i see how would i change that

[polar acorn]

You'll want to multiply any "speed" values by Time.deltaTime to get them in terms of units per second instead of units per frame

[blissful trail]

I see I will give that a try

so in that example i would change "boulderspeed" to "boulderspeed * time.deltatime"

[frank light]

does anyone know why the jumping part of this script doesnt work:

using UnityEngine;

public class Testing : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController controller;
    public Transform cam;
    public float speed = 6f;
    private float _turnSmoothVelocity;
    private bool _groundedPlayer;

    public float turnSmoothTime = 0.1f;

    public float playerSpeed = 6.0f;
    public float jumpHeight = 1.0f;
    public float gravityValue = -9.81f;
    private Transform _playerTransform;
    private Vector3 _playerVelocity;

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        _groundedPlayer = controller.isGrounded;

        var horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        var vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        var direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;

        if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
        {
            var targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y;
            var angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref _turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);

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

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

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && _groundedPlayer)
        {
            _playerVelocity.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -3.0f * gravityValue);
        }

        _playerVelocity.y += gravityValue * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
        controller.Move(_playerVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
}

I made a new movement script that is better and then tried to transfer the jumping part of my old script to the new one and it didnt work.

[slender nymph]

you're using GetButtonDown inside of FixedUpdate. GetButtonDown will only return true the first frame the button is pressed which may not be a FixedUpdate frame

typically you would get input inside of Update to avoid issues like that, then apply physics inside of FixedUpdate

[frank light]

ok, ill try that.

[frank light]

it still doesn't work after changing to Update(), sometimes it barely jumps a little bit and other times it doesn't jump at all, and it only jumps a little bit if my character is moving. https://pastebin.com/jmVauW0E here is my old movement script where the jump works perfectly. Thanks for the help.

[slender nymph]

if the jump is not strong enough then you need to increase your jumpHeight

[meager gust]

@frank lightI've found CharacterController's isgrounded to be very wonky in the past. You might be better off doing your own overlap check

[frank light]

ive already tried this before.

[slender nymph]

well then what debugging steps have you taken? because there's nothing in the code you've shown that would inherently make the jumping not work

[frank light]

Ive tried it with the other script, changing values, writing to the console if grounded. I think Burt is correct because it only does a jump when i am moving which makes sense that it would be isgrounded being weird.

[meager gust]

you're also multiplying by Time.fixedDeltaTime in a frame update loop

you should have debugs in your code to test if your jump code is firing

you also don't really need to do the square root thing for jumping.

find a comfortable value.

[fast knot]

Hi, I am using the OnTriggerEnter2D to create usable powerups. The destroy ist always working but not the boolean assignment (at least not always).

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "powerup-small-car")
        {
            smallCar = true;
            Destroy(collision.gameObject);
        }
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "powerup-big-car")
        {
            bigCar = true;
            Destroy(collision.gameObject);
        }
    }```
I would appreciate every idea on this 🙂
It seems to work every time if i wait long enougth between the TriggerEnter events..?

[silk night]

if the destroy fires, the bool assignment HAS to fire too, no way around it

[meager gust]

use debug.logs to figure out if your if statements are actually firing

[shell sorrel]

add logging to it

figure out if something is resetting it

[austere monolith]

Could someone really quickly explain why when I set the animation it doesnt work and puts the zombie in a weird position?

[fast knot]

Okay i will debug some more. Thank you guys

[silk night]

what does the animation step contain?

[austere monolith]

idk what you mean

lol im new to animations im tryna figure it out

[silk night]

And what do you mean with weird position?

[austere monolith]

ill send a video

[verbal dome]

Yep. But you need to adjust the boulderspeed to account for that (make it 30-100x larger)

Because you are now multiplying it with a small value

[silk night]

To add to that, if you multiply a value by Time.deltaTime you reach the full value of your original value after one second (when summing all the values you get together)

[fast knot]

Okay nvm. you are right. Looks like FixedUpdate() ist not liking my variable change

[silk night]

Be careful with fixedUpdate and update, update dependent actions could run multiple times between fixedupdates, so if you are resetting variables somewhere keep that into account

FixedUpdates will be most likely 60 times per second for you, if you get 600 fps you will have ~10 update cycles before another fixedupate

[fast knot]

I am doing something like:

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (smallCar)
        {
            Debug.Log("small");
            scaleCar("small");
            Invoke("setDefaults", powerUpTimer);
        }

        if (bigCar)
        {
            Debug.Log("big");
            scaleCar("big");
            Invoke("setDefaults", powerUpTimer);
        }
    }```
Inside the setDefaults i reset the booleans to false. Should work normally or? Right now i got no Update()

[meager gust]

I mean, your animation says empty

and it's the only one attached

[austere monolith]

But doesn't it work? I put the variable of the Motion in there

Or am I meant to do the entire thing

[silk night]

In that case your fixedUpdate would run repeatedly until your setdefaults is executed

do you get multiple "small" logs before the values reset?

[fast knot]

There is no logging at this point. Seems like the if does not hit

[austere monolith]

Yeah it doesn't work either way, I'm really trying to find this bug somewhere.

[silk night]

only the name is empty, look at his second screenshot, it shows a mixamo animation

[meager gust]

afaik each animation state should be connected with an arrow somehow

maybe I'm wrong

[silk night]

yeah his entry state feeds into the empty state

[silk night]

Can you change FixedUpdate to update and see if anything happens?

[fast knot]

That seems to work. 1 "small" log. But i don't understand why this work 😄 And i am scaling the GameObject (with physics). I think that's not good in the Update() method, right?

[hardy lintel]

hi there! so ive hit a bit of a coding brick wall. how can i make it so that when i select a node which a tower is on, that it shows the range of said tower using a prefab object that is scaled to the turrets range?
https://hastebin.com/share/ebecurogit.csharp

[silk night]

Can you show your full class?

[fast knot]

Hmpf, debug is working but somethimes the scaling ist not working

[verbal dome]

Do you have an animator on the car object perhaps?

[fast knot]

No, only Rigidbody 2d, Wheel Joints 2D, Box Collider and scripts

[verbal dome]

What's the issue again, is it that the scale just does not change sometimes?

[verbal dome]

In editor or in game?

[fast knot]

At first the if inside the update method did not always hit. Changed FixedUpdate to Update and now this seems to work.
But the scaling is not working

[hardy lintel]

in game.

[verbal dome]

Make a prefab that has a disc-shaped mesh and show that prefab on the selected tower

I hear your question but I don't know what issues you are facing

It could also be a plane/quad with a circular texture

[hardy lintel]

i need it to also scale for the range of the currently selected tower. i got it to run without errors once but it didnt move or scale the range prefab

[faint nymph]

Can I add a strikethrough in a GUI button text?
Only alternative i could think of is to just change the color to orange-red for now.
https://i.imgur.com/oZcOuXS.png

[hardy lintel]

although saying that....the towers are placed via the node...

[verbal dome]

You need to use a GUIStyle that has richText enabled

[verbal dome]

Moving/scaling a gameobject is really simple, maybe show the code you tried?

Perhaps you were scaling the prefab and not the instantiated object

[hardy lintel]

https://youtu.be/S4W-QBpQgiU i was trying to follow it from this tutorial as there isnt a lot of 3d tower range tutorials

[fast knot]

I just created anouther debug.log inside the scaleCar(). This is hitting exactly 1 time but no scale transformation is happening (on the secound trigger)

[verbal dome]

Alright but you need to be specific about the issues you are having
I still dont know exactly what went wrong when you tried it

[hardy lintel]

nothing happened. thats the issue. i had some run ins with null but i fixed that easy

[verbal dome]

Lol, 'nothing happened' is even more vague than anything you said before

Nothing happened when doing what?

[faint nymph]

May be a bit confused but doesn't unity usually not support that for its regular GUI?
Or is there an easy way to add it if my specific line was something like:

            DropObjects("Center", false);```

[hardy lintel]

this

[verbal dome]

I think certain GUIStyles (like the one for button) does not have it enabled by default.
You can create a new GUIStyle with var guiStyle = new GUIStyle("Button") or something like that. I think "Button" converts to the basic button style

[fast knot]

When resetting the bool inside the scale method it seems to work. I am quite not sure why i should use Update() and not FixedUpdate() there :3

[verbal dome]

So are you saying that transform.localScale is not working

[hardy lintel]

and transform position.

[verbal dome]

Ok. You need to show what you tried

Like show the actual code that didn't work

[hardy lintel]

the code mentioned in the youtube link i sent

[meager gust]

that doesn't help anyone

[verbal dome]

No, the code you wrote

You are telling me to watch a 7 minute video just to see the code that you are supposed to use
You probably copied it wrong

[faint nymph]

I appreciate the help, sadly a bit out of my realm for right now until I have more time to look into it.
Just going to quickly comment out these 2 buttons until I have the time to get back to fixing them.

[hardy lintel]

well its actually more two minutes for the actual code lol.

        target.is_Max_Upgraded = false;

i would use hastebin but it says it would remove the current code saved which i sent earlier

And yeah that ^ put your code in a paste site

[hardy lintel]

yes

[verbal dome]

So it's not Instantiated anywhere?

[hardy lintel]

i add it into the game out of view as well

[verbal dome]

A prefab does not exist in the scene

[verbal dome]

Can you show that code

Or do you mean you added it into the scene yourself, instead of instantiating it via code?

[hardy lintel]

yes. added into the scene

[verbal dome]

Did you get errors while playing, with that code enabled?

[hardy lintel]

yes the null errors but i fixed those. i cant find the code i used to fix the null errors however

[verbal dome]

Uncomment those lines, run the game, and check the console

The code related to Range_Indicator looks ok, so maybe you had some errors.

[hardy lintel]

huh....odd

the range shows up now but the ui doesnt. so yeah. it seems the error is elsewhere

although it says the error lies at line 34

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
NodeUI.setTarget (Node _target) (at Assets/code/NodeUI.cs:34)
buildManager.SelectNode (Node node) (at Assets/code/buildManager.cs:46)
Node.OnMouseDown () (at Assets/code/Node.cs:52)
UnityEngine.SendMouseEvents:DoSendMouseEvents(Int32)

[verbal dome]

Why do you think it is elsewhere, it says the error is right there 😄

[hardy lintel]

cause it also brings up the build manager.selectnode

[verbal dome]

Something on that line is null. It can't be Range_indicator because the lines above it used it and didn't throw an error.
It could be target or the Turret component on target that is null.

[hardy lintel]

i was thinking target because its used to move the range as well as select the tower

[verbal dome]

Though if this line is not erroring Range_indicator.transform.position = target.turret.transform.position; then target can't be null

What is target.turret? Is it the Turret script or something else?

Everything hints at target.GetComponent<Turret> being null

[hardy lintel]

i used target because in the video he seemed to use something similar. but it turns out i dont need that. it moves the range between turrets, but doesn't scale it. and the ui doesnt open still

it points to the node as well with the error

[verbal dome]

You know if a line of code gives you a NullRefException, any code below that line will not run

So you gotta fix those

If I am going to have several different objects that can be interacted with, but specifically for the UI element it will just be "Press E" when you get near any interactable item, should that be an interface, or a base class?

I feel like it's often we would jump towards interface, but since the definition would be the same each time (display "Press E"), does a class make more sense?

[rich adder]

Interface for interactions, invoke event for UI

[quasi rose]

Ah. makes sense.

[silk night]

If I want to make World Space text, just scale the canvas by e.g. 0.01 to make it reasonable size? Otherwise my text is huge
Or is there a better method/component to get it to proper scale

[quasi rose]

Yeah, so generic event pop up for the UI element, and then define specifically what the interact() is from the interface.

[rich adder]

if its a generic "E button" without need to specify what it is just yeah invoke the event from your interaction script

your UI can just listen to that 1 script's event

[quasi rose]

Yeah that makes sense, thanks.

[feral palm]

i have 2 game objects

directly above eachother

but there have 2 different posisitions

oh

ok

[acoustic arch]

is there a way i can have a bool become automatically disabled if another of the same name becomes true or something?

i have quick bar slots that can become active to the players hand and each slot has a bool for being active

im wondering about a way to make a button click switch which slot is then active and disabling the last active slot

[polar acorn]

Use a world space text object instead of a canvas

[silk night]

Is that only for text or are there solutions for other ui elements too?

[polar acorn]

If you need other UI elements you'll need to use a world space canvas, but for text, a normal TextMeshPro object will do

[silk night]

thanks

also one more question, I put the rendering layer on my canvas on the highest sorting layer and it still shows the numbers behind the enemies running around, overlay camera or how do i solve that? 😄

[eternal needle]

just either store which was active and disable that, or disable them all and only enable the 1 newly active one.

[acoustic arch]

alright thanks

is there a way i can check everything inside of an array and see which is a bool as true without using for?

[eternal needle]

foreach? why not using for?

[acoustic arch]

i decided to use for

idk why i wasnt it just was feeling repetetive

[charred spoke]

for being repetitive is the reason it exists

[chrome crypt]

I'm following this guide here to do a dependency injection, but I keep getting an error:
'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'Initialize' and no accessible extension method 'Initialize' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

It seems like I should be able to reference a game object though

[gaunt ice]

the method Initialise is belong to your script not the gameobject, you have to reference the script (ie the component on the gameobject)

[polar acorn]

You notice how the prefab in that example is not of type GameObject

[teal elk]

in a 3d top down game what do i do if the enemy is smaller then the player , cause my projectile is flying over the head of the enemy.

[feral ice]

when I use transform.LookAt(Vector3.zero) , the player looks at the local 0,0,0 instead of the global origin. How can I fix this?

[eternal needle]

what is local 0, 0, 0? can you show a screenshot

[feral ice]

I have the player starting at 0,-103, 0

and I want to use transform.LookAt to make the player always point at 0,0,0

[eternal needle]

im confused what part of this is your actual player, how can u tell that this circle is not rotating towards the correct position

[eternal needle]

the only thing I can think that RotateAround is affecting the rotation
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.RotateAround.html

This modifies both the position and the rotation of the transform

You could use only 1 rotate around call if you combine those vector3s and add the input. I would do it like

Vector3 rotateAxis = new Vector3(1, 1, 0).normalized;
void Update()
{
    
    float rotateSpeed = //Do whatever you want here with forward and horizontal input;
    transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, rotateAxis, rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}

and then afterwards call transform.LookAt if the rotate around part isnt sufficient

hey guys ive given my player the health script on the right and the slime enemies the hurt enemy script on the left

and for some reason when my character walks over and touches the slimes he takes 0 damage.

actually i just realised my player litterally walks over the slimes (both have 2D rigid bodies and 2D colliders)

[eternal needle]

did you debug if its ever calling HurtPlayer?
Couple things:
I wouldnt rely on the name of the player because this is fragile. you may want to do layer based collisions. If it somehow collides with another object named player, you now have a null reference exception error.
You dont need to check if the players health is 0 or below in update, since its only changing in the method HurtPlayer(), you can just check inside that method
Add debugs to see which part is wrong, if you arent getting the collision message, if its not entering the if statement, if damageToGive isnt 0

and follow the !code command for how to post it

thanks so much for this message
i actually am following a step by step guide on how to make a 2D rpg game but its 7 years old so theres a lot of outdated things ive had to fix and im guessing checking if the object is named player is one of them 🤣
how do i actually debug tho? like how can i check if its calling hurt player?

[eternal needle]

There is the debugger which you can attach and add breakpoints if you need detailed information and the game to pause. For something like this though I'd really just use Debug.Log and remove it when done

That guide probably isnt the best. A lot of guides only work the purpose of the video sadly and cannot be extended further

[wide roost]

bawsi you seem like you know what ur doing in regards to making games what do you suggest I do to learn

ive been programming for a year now and I just thought following a guide was best to understand unity. is there a tutorial online u can suggest me?

[eternal needle]

The only real suggestion I have is just keep experimenting to learn. You can copy code all you want but it doesnt really teach you anything. In some cases like complex equations it's fine. If you truly want to understand what the code is doing, it's good to try writing it yourself and changing around values to see what effect this gives.
Hell, I was just doing this 5 minutes before I replied to you with a particle system and have a better understanding of them now

[wide roost]

i see, that makes sense.

okay im gonna stop following this guide then honestly and just try to learn some basic unity syntax and make the game i want to

[eternal needle]

As for tutorials, I dont really watch many. Only for systems very specific to unity like the ai package or particle system.
Some tutorials for you though might give you more information and tell you about methods that you didnt know existed
You should really learn how to debug before you continue, itll improve your experience by a lot.

[eternal needle]

Forgot to @ respond on the message above

[wide roost]

I see,

i guess i more want to know the functions and stuff that unity provides that I can use

like the debug stuff in unity.

hey i have 2 scripts("Ability" and "AbilityEvolveChecker"). How come im getting an error saying "AbilityEvolveChecker" namespace doesnt exist when i use it as a variable in the "Ability" script? I remade "AbilityEvolveChecker" with another name and that fixed it, but i kinda prefer "AbilityEvolveChecker".

[ivory bobcat]

var floatyText = Instantiate(regenTextPrefab, floatyTextPosition, Quaternion.identity);
Why is this instantiating my prefab with a different scaling and position?
the prefab scale is 0.5 but the instantiated object scale is 0.2 (I'm not adjusting this anywhere in my code)
the position is the same as my floatyTextPosition but it adds some value to it that I don't add anywhere and are not in the prefab either

[ivory bobcat]

Log the scale for the prefab and instance and see if they're the same

GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(1.0f, 0.0f);

what valuse do new Vector2(1.0f, 0.0f) pass to the GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity

and if possible can i dont use new Vector2(1f, 0f); and just ype list (1f, 0f) with 2 variables kinda looks like no diffrence to me

[short hazel]

It creates a new vector with the specified X/Y values.
You can absolutely pass variables for the X/Y values, instead of two number constants. But you need to keep the new Vector2 to instruct it to create a Vector2.

[dapper lava]

ok so if vector is just x and y values why do i have to create it instead of just passing them

[short hazel]

.velocity = (1f, 0f); will NOT work because (a, b) is a Tuple, an entirely different type.

[dapper lava]

what is type of Vector

[short hazel]

Vector2

Is the type

[dapper lava]

ok and ridgid body take the data of type of Vector 2 ok

[short hazel]

The Rigidbody's velocity does

[dapper lava]

yes

[short hazel]

Rigidbody is also a type itself

[dapper lava]

so i want to set velocity when i press space

void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
        {
            GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(0.0f, 1.0f);
        }
    }

to the object this script is attached to

[ivory bobcat]

What's the problem?

[short hazel]

Yeah, is there a question here?

"Will that work?" => try it and see

[dapper lava]

it does

[short hazel]

Good! I'd use KeyCode.Space instead of a string for your GetKeyDown

[dapper lava]

i forgot about it

so this apply to the object the script is attached to if i wanted t move diffrent object how do i do it

do i set ridgid body to public and make it like variable

and then change it

[ivory bobcat]

Reference the other object

[dapper lava]

like i said here

ok

[hearty trout]

Hey trying to make a building system in unity but I am not sure on how to make ghost building follow mouse pos and have it so the actual building is placed there

[proud aurora]

I think there is a way to transform mouse pos into 3D coords, but you could always use a raycast, as for the ghost building you could just use the mesh with a semi-transparent material applied.
Lastly for the placement make it so that when mouse1 or whatever button you want is pressed spawn the selected model at the raycast’s position

[hearty trout]

Aye thanks

[proud aurora]

No problem

[hearty trout]

So it would be like on mouse click 1 instantaite object on hit point

For placing it

After getting the ray cast script above ect:

here TankLight is name of script we try to change

do we make another varaible

called the same as the name of the script

[glossy eagle]

Hi. Is there a way to like make an attribute affect a bunch of variables at the same time? Like not having to manually write that attribute before every single variable

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not sure what you're saying but you'd create a variable to reference the component type you're wanting to reference.

[dapper lava]

is it obligatory

or can i just use TankLight the name of the script

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not sure what you're saying but this is C# basics for class variables (instances)

[short hazel]

Make sure the button is under a Canvas. Make sure you haven't got rid of the "Event System" object in the scene (it's the one which relays UI events to your UI elements). Make sure nothing is in front of the button, that could block events from reaching it.

[dapper lava]

this dude said quote "we're ganna take the name of the script TankLight and name it tanklight" why do you name something that already has a name if this naming is obligatory then i go learn c#. it sound like it makes things more complicated with no reason

[short hazel]

Nope! You'll have to put one for each targeted element

[glossy eagle]

well okay thanks

[ivory bobcat]

The first refers to the type, the second with camelcase would be how you're wanting to refer to it in this script.

Hey guys.. To access and make active the LevelUpScrenn I am using cs levelUpScreen.SetActive(true); And it is working fine. But if instead I want to access a child and make active just 1 of its child. How can I access it? I tried cs levelUpScreen.GainAttackSpeed.SetActive(true); But that doesnt work

for instand the gainAttackSpeed

[fringe pollen]

If it's parents are inactive then the child will also be inactive. You'll need to either change it's parent or make the levelUpScreen active and the other things in it inactive or some other way like that probably

How can I disable "Reloading script assemblies" after every script change?

[fair marlin]

I don’t think you can, it reloads it when you make a change to your code

[eager elm]

Edit -> Preferences -> Asset Pipeline -> Auto Refresh -> Disabled

You have to manually refresh when you want changes to take effect, ctrl+R.

[cunning mesa]

Ahh excellent, cheers!

[eager elm]

you can also split your scripts into multiple assemblies, then only the scripts inside the assembly that got changed need to be recompiled

[grim stream]

when i have instanciated a prefab. How do i access a variable within its attached script?

[queen adder]

how do I create a physical button that can be pressed? I've searched everywhere and I can't find one

[cunning mesa]

What's the name of the script?

[grim stream]

NPCBall

[grim stream]

ooooh

Thanks

[cunning mesa]

A UI button?

[queen adder]

No a button you press with a keybind

[cunning mesa]

I'm not quite following. Please provide more information if you want my assistance(:

[short hazel]

A physical button, in the world

[queen adder]

yes

[short hazel]

You need a script on the player that will detect whether it's looking at a button, and a script on the button itself to trigger things when it's pressed

[queen adder]

mkay

[eager elm]

You can also skip a step and make RealBall of type NPCBall and then use:
NPCBall ball = Instantiate(realBall);
ball.someVariable = 10;

[dapper lava]

when i say
int a; int is type and it is needed as it passes some information for example type of variable a

the capitalized TankLight is name of script
in code TankLight tanklight
tanklight has a type of file TankLight

what does it mean something has a type of the file "TankLight.cs"
what information does it says about the variable tanklight

also later in code

tanklight = getcomponent<TankLight>(); guy explains this code finds the script in object components and i understand this so what was TankLight needed for at the beggining

[short hazel]

It's not about files, it's about classes. When you refer to TankLight, in this case it will try to find where a class TankLight is located

[polar acorn]

A variable needs a type. You have to declare what kind of data a variable can hold

[dapper lava]

guy said filename but i was also thinking class has the same name as file

[polar acorn]

A variable of type TankLight can hold an instance of TankLight

[dapper lava]

and the name TankLight is name of the script or class in it

[strong wren]

The file thing is purely a Unity thing for its internal purposes

[short hazel]

In Unity it has to in most cases, but it definitely searches for a class name

As you can put multiple type declarations in a single file

[polar acorn]

Unity requires that component classes have the same name as the file they're in, but that's not a C# thing

The class name is what determines the type

[dapper lava]

ok

also when i work with velocity and use new vector should i like care that i make new vector every frame or it doesnt matter

[short hazel]

Doesn't matter

It actually makes two vectors in your case. One when you use new Vector2() on it, and a second when it gets put into .velocity (the value gets copied)

[dapper lava]

GameObject redbird = GameObject.FindWithTag("second");
redbird.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(0f, 3f);

ok so i made 2 birds one was jumping ok and i tried to make second one jump using the script in the firs one so i tried something like this and now nither of them jump

i did put tag in redbird called second

[short hazel]

You'd usually attach the script to the two birds separately

[dapper lava]

yes but for example when i kick the ball i think i could apply some velocity to the ball and not make a second script checking every frame has the abll been touched

so i just wanted to move other object without the script

[polar acorn]

Don't use find. Make public or serialized variable and drag in the object you want to reference

[short hazel]

Code is probably not doing what you intended to, here in your deleted screenshot lol

Without braces, if statements only apply to the next line, so the second velocity you apply on the other object will always run

[dapper lava]

void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(0f, 5f);//here the bird with code jumps
        redbird.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(0f, 3f);//here i tried to make the second one jump too
    }

[short hazel]

if (something)
Debug.Log("Inside if statement");
Debug.Log("Outside if statement");

[dapper lava]

my if didnt have brackets

let me try now

[polar acorn]

1. Without curly braces your if statement applies only to the next line
2. If the intention is to have both birds jump when you hit space then why are you making one script reference both instead of just putting this script on both birds

[dapper lava]

GameObject redbird = GameObject.FindWithTag("second"); how do you get the object

[short hazel]

You don't

You put the script on the two objects

Both will run at the same time

[dapper lava]

for example i have button to push somethign in game

and when i aim at something and push i want to change it's velocity

so i want to take the other object and change its velocity even if it doesnt have a script

i am just testing it on this

[short hazel]

That's entirely different to what you've shown here, it doesn't talk about birds anymore

You're diverging

[polar acorn]

If you have a button that makes both birds jump then this script should be on the button and reference both birds

[dapper lava]

i wanted to move object with script in diffrent object

that's waht i wanted

my question was unclear

for example bird2 doesnt have a script and bird 1 have

so i want to move bird2 with script from diffrent object(bird1)
but it can as well be player and ball

[polar acorn]

Why doesn't it have the same script bird 1 does

If they're doing the same thing they should have the same script

[dapper lava]

lets talk diffrent game

i am first person player

and there is ball

and i can press lmb to push it

so i apply velocity to the ball

and ball doesnt have script

i want to move object with script in diffrent object

i simply already had 2 birds

so i was just testing

[polar acorn]

Then yes, you can get the rigidbody component from it and add force or set the velocity of it. I'm assuming you'd be getting the reference to the object from a raycast to determine if you've clicked on it

[dapper lava]

i am currently at trying to change diffrent object velocity

redbird have tag "second"
so i tired to find object with tag second

and then use it as if it was class with data

[polar acorn]

It is a class with data. It's a reference to a game object

[dapper lava]

FindGameObjectWithTag is not allowed to be called from a MonoBehaviour

[queen adder]

what's the chance of 2 of this Random.Range(-2147483646, 2147483646) be equal?

[frosty hound]

So low that you can consider it impossible

[polar acorn]

Very low

[queen adder]

i plan an intentional bug that can happen very low chance

[frosty hound]

It's lower than very low.

[polar acorn]

So decide on a chance first then make a random that rolls it

[queen adder]

i dont want to actually trigger the bug, but i am expecting the bug to happen when two of this random is equal

[short hazel]

With ideal probabilities, around 0.0000000233% for your current parameters

Wait no, even lower than that

It's (1 / uint.MaxValue) * (1 / uint.MaxValue) to get it twice in a row
Calculator probably won't be precise enough to compute it properly

5.42e-20 (542 with 20 zeroes before the decimal separator)

[queen adder]

ig that's pretty good enough for me

[polar acorn]

If this is what you want it's probably easier to just not code in the thing at all and just tell people you did. It'd be basically the same functionality

[queen adder]

it's just for an id system anyways, and the worst case that can happen is player can duplicate one item hehe

[short hazel]

There's Guid which probably has even lower chances of rolling the same ID twice
Since it's on uh 32 bytes?

16* bytes

(for reference, int is on 4 bytes)

can someone help me? I have a boolean to check if the player is on the ground and it is working fine but the jump isn't working

[surreal wagon]

well when i put in a debug.log into the jump thingy it showeed when i pressed space but my character didnt actually jump

[topaz mortar]

what does your character do when you press space?

[short hazel]

First things first, you don't multiply by Delta Time here

[surreal wagon]

oh well its working

[short hazel]

It divides the force being applied by a factor of 100 (as it's around 0.016 at 60 FPS)

well thank you for the help 👍

i deleted Time.deltatime and it started working normaly why

x = x-1f * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position = new Vector2(x, -5);

ok it works now

[timber urchin]

Might be an obvious answer, and im aware the fix is assigning the object that has the textmesh component to the feild. But it keeps reseting no matter what i do, like before I press play it is assigned but as soon as the game starts the feild becomes empty

Also forgive my code haha I am just starting to try and get to grips with this stuff

I have to keep dragging the object there everytime I start the game then it works fine

[solemn fractal]

Hi friends, in code I am using this posX and posY to position my image, changing its position as I want. BUT it seems that this is not the real position.. how can I know the real one, because it is not appearing where it should.when i start the game and it appear apear almost outside the window

[wintry quarry]

Because of your code in Start

[timber urchin]

Even if the counter jumps by 2 haha

[timber urchin]

Oh should it be in update?

[wintry quarry]

No...

It should be deleted

If you want to assign the reference in the inspector stop assigning it in code

[timber urchin]

Ohhhh wait your right haha sorry my brain isn't working

That's it now thanks

[eager elm]

I think either transform.localPosition or GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition

[solemn fractal]

I am getting it like that cs Image GainMovementSpeed = Buttons.transform.Find("GainMovementSpeed").GetComponent<Image>(); and I am change its position like that: ```cs
Transform gainAttackSpeedT = gainAttackSpeed.transform;
gainAttackSpeedT.position = firstRow;

firstRow is using those values

but it is appearing outside the window almost

and not in the center as I see in the UI view on the scene

almost outaide the window when it appears

[keen dew]

RectTransform uses anchoredPosition

[solemn fractal]

and how do I get the values for anchoredposition?

or how do I fix that?

[keen dew]

The same way as everything else

get the RectTransform component and access .anchoredPosition

[eager elm]

and ui elements depend on your screen size. I recommend you solve this in a different way, for example with Layout Group Components. Moving UI elements via code is almost always gonna cause problems

[wintry quarry]

Those are canvas space values. . position is completely the wrong thing

Hi, I'm using the free first person character controller, and I'm not sure how to reference this script from another script. I don't know how to use it's assembly in my own namespaced code.

[wintry quarry]

Namespaces have nothing to do with assemblies

[tiny hawk]

Ohh ok

[wintry quarry]

If you're not using an assembly definition in your code you can just directly use this

[tiny hawk]

I'm using an assembly definition in my custom code

[wintry quarry]

Then you need to add their assembly as a dependency in your assembly

Assuming they have an assembly

[tiny hawk]

I can't find their assembly

I've been searching for days

[wintry quarry]

If not you need to create one for them

[tiny hawk]

Ah ok

[wintry quarry]

Why would you be searching for days lol

[tiny hawk]

I spend about a couple days a week doing game dev

[wintry quarry]

Just look for the asmdef in their code

[tiny hawk]

My time spent doing this was looking for this asssembly defintiion and trying other techniques

@wintry quarry Would this be the assembly?

[timber urchin]

Anyone know why mu jump count is registering 2 jumps when a single jump happens?

One second

[silk night]

how are you registering jumps?

GetKey triggers every frame

use GetKeyDown

[timber urchin]

Ah thanks dude

[silk night]

GetKeyDown only triggers the first frame after a key was pressed

[timber urchin]

Ooh interesting that actually explains alot haha

Thanks

[silk night]

All clones of what?

[silk night]

Also one thing i noticed, why are you setting the velocity twice in FixedUpdate?

[timber urchin]

Thats a good point I have no clue why thats there twice haha didn't even notice

[silk night]

How are you creating these clones?

Best would be to keep a HashSet of all you create and iterate over that to delete them

[timber urchin]

This fixes that issue but now it seems to not register the space presses properly. It does it once or twice if im lucky

Ill figure it out eventually haha

[silk night]

You press it, release it and press it again and second time it does not register?

[timber urchin]

Yea

[neat crag]

how do i install the new unity input system?

[silk night]

Then keep a HashSet (basically an unordered List) of them, you can do a foreach on it and destroy them

[timber urchin]

Like it only registers some of the presses

[silk night]

Via their package manager

[silk night]

how are you checking if it registered the press?

[timber urchin]

I think I figure out the issue its the else statement conflicting possibly

[neat crag]

where?

[silk night]

https://img.sidia.net/ZEyI5/tEDezOte75.png/raw at the top choose Unity Registries (I have 1.8.0 installed which is a preview, you will have 1.7.x)

[neat crag]

oh ok ty very much

[silk night]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.hashset-1?view=net-7.0

yes

[timber urchin]

Im using a bool that keeps track if the button is pressed or not which im guessing wont work well with GetKeyDown?

[silk night]

Should work with bool, check directly in the update function by logging

[short hazel]

If you want it to be true while the button is held down then a simple yourBoolean = Input.GetKey(whatever); will do the trick

[silk night]

OnCollisionstay is not a good function to check if you want to jump though

[timber urchin]

So on collision enter prefferably or am I misunderstanding?

Or use trigger

[silk night]

you should save in a property if you are grounded and execute the jump in update if pressed + grounded

[timber urchin]

Got it!

[silk night]

what you typed is what a for loop does

[short hazel]

Now do a for loop that has its value incremented by 3 each iteration

[silk night]

any good ide does that for you

just type "for" and press enter / tab

[short hazel]

Yeah, type "for" then Tab twice

But yeah it's "complex syntax" that allows you to do way more stuff, like creating multiple variables before the first ;, put multiple conditions in the middle, etc.

[solemn fractal]

used like that and worked now. thank you cs RectTransform gainMovementSpeedT = GainMovementSpeed.rectTransform; gainMovementSpeedT.position = firstRow;

[neon fractal]

Is there any way to make it shorter?

[rich adder]

maybe put keycodes inside an array?

[gaunt ice]

yes, but i prefer this way, just three if statements

put in array and loop it

[neon fractal]

Alpha[1, 2, 3]?

[gaunt ice]

idk if alphaX is continue, if yes:

for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
  if(keydown(alpha1+i))number=i;
}

check it before use it

[neon fractal]

It works, but I don't really understand how, I would be happy if someone could explain it to me.

[languid spire]

it shouild be number = i+1 to produce the same result you had above

[rich adder]

public KeyCode[] keys = new KeyCode[3]
    {
        KeyCode.Alpha1,KeyCode.Alpha2,KeyCode.Alpha3
    };``````cs
if (Input.anyKeyDown)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < keys.Length; i++)
            {
                if (Input.GetKeyDown(keys[i]))
                {
                    number = i + 1;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }```

[gaunt ice]

my bad

[rich adder]

oh ya this works too. 😛 mine is just incase u want more than 3 I suppose

[neon fractal]

Thanks, I don't understand how "for" understands which key I pressed. But it works.

[rich adder]

for isn't the one that checks the key

[neon fractal]

I understand that

[rich adder]

it just loops that piece of code 3 times each frame

(assuming its in update)

[neon fractal]

I understand, thank you

[rich adder]

the first solution is a bit frail(depends on magic numbers kinda)
but it works fine

Keycode.Alpha1 = 49

KeyCode.Alpha1 + i (1) = 50 aka Alpha2

so on

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys, I just asked that question some minutes ago and I thought I fixed it but it seems not to be working still.
I am trying to change the posX and posY but it is not working. I am doing like that:

        Vector3 firstRow = new Vector3(-10, 10, 0);

        Image gainAttackSpeed = Buttons.transform.Find("GainAttackSpeed").GetComponent<Image>();
        RectTransform gainAttackSpeedT = gainAttackSpeed.rectTransform;
        gainAttackSpeedT.anchoredPosition = firstRow; ```
What I am doing wrong? Or what is a better way to change its position? When The player gain 1 level appear that button and it should appear in the middle of the screen.

[verbal dome]

KeyCode is just an enum, which is basically an integer number, you can see the list here https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html
As you see the keycodes are listed in order, so doing Alpha1 + 1 will give you the number that corresponds to Alpha2

Oh looks like navarone explained it

[silk night]

Ok steps for that should be:

• create a parent "holder" in your level up screen
• create the movespeed button and set its parent to your "holder"

If you want multiple make your holder a vertical group

@solemn fractal

[neon fractal]

I already understood, thank

[solemn fractal]

So what you mean is craete an empty object and make the button a child of this object, and I would control the position of the emptyobject and not the button it self?

[silk night]

yeah make an empty object where your button should be

that already exists in the level up screen

[solemn fractal]

hmmm ok, make sense. Will try that. Thank you !!

[silk night]

and like i said, if you want multiple buttons add a Vertical Layout Group component to your "holder" and the buttons will list themselves up automatically

[solemn fractal]

hmm vertical layout.. never did that will do a research about it, because I will have like at least 20 buttons. but they will appear basically in 3 position always.. randomly.. so I need to have those 3 position set

[silk night]

yeah then its perfect for you

[still bobcat]

why is it black?

Screenshots:

1. unity
2. blender
3. blender
4. texture
5. alpha texture

[silk night]

standard unity materials dont support transparency

are you on URP?

[eager elm]

not related to each other

[rich adder]

not a code question here.

[bronze yacht]

I imported it from the asset store. Do you know what i need to do?

[rich adder]

not a code question
also not related warning to ur issue

[bronze yacht]

Which channel do i need to put it?

[still bobcat]

oh sorry

[rich adder]

#🏃┃animation or #💻┃unity-talk
describe clearly whats happening instead

[silk night]

are you using URP? if so i can help you in #archived-urp

[timber urchin]

Anyone know why the bools in my project aren't working at all trying to get a jump system working

Sending a video for reference

Ill send the code now too

https://hastebin.com/share/huqucoxumi.csharp

[verbal dome]

Because your code is changing them jump = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);

Jump turns to false the next frame because space is not being pressed

[silk night]

isnt that what he wants?

[verbal dome]

🤷‍♂️

[silk night]

just execute the jump method once on press

[verbal dome]

Probably just wanted to test it by clicking on the inspector but it doesn't really work here

[silk night]

oh wait, didnt see that in the video

[verbal dome]

Same with isGrounded

[timber urchin]

The jump also disregards the fact that im not on the ground and still works haha

Ohhh

Right

[austere monolith]

something wrong with these animations? because even when i try previewing it it doesnt work

[silk night]

how are you trying to preview them?

[austere monolith]

clicking then in the bottom right it should show but its not, i dont even care about that sometimes it shows but makes the zombie do nothing

[tawdry rock]

double click on the node and at the inspector bottom right you should see the preview, if not then you might need to open it

[verbal dome]

I think you also need to have an object selected, which uses an animator with that controller

[austere monolith]

i tried but when i opened it it always says 3d model cannot be viewed or something

[verbal dome]

#🏃┃animation

[timber urchin]

So what should I do about this?
