[rich adder]

pass it to velocity ?

[steady isle]

wat

[rich adder]

your rigidbody is following a trajectory

store the vector3 direction and then run it thru reflect on collision

[steady isle]

explain to me as if i was just bron

born

[rich adder]

i wish I knew how lol

[rich adder]

ballrb.velocity = Vector2.right * ballSpeed;

you have this in your code

[steady isle]

yup

[rich adder]

you're fixed in one spot direction , which is hard to change and not useful.
So you ideally want to store your direction inside a variable you can change

[steady isle]

ok

[rich adder]

then you reflect that and change that one

[amber dome]

I understand how it works, there is this mechanism in game development on Roblox

[steady isle]

this is where u lose me

[rich adder]

have you shined a light in a mirror before ?

[steady isle]

yea

[rich adder]

you're trying to do the same thing but with the ball, the Reflect function lets you do that if you pass your incoming velocity

aka direction

[steady isle]

alr

[rich adder]

do the first part

then go from there

[steady isle]

i still dont know how i should change my code

when i look at code i read what it says and assume it does what it says which is why i have lots of logic errors

so until i know how to use it i cant learn it

[rich adder]

guessing your way through it isn't a good way to learn

[steady isle]

its not like that

[rich adder]

I read a lot of weird comments in your code which looks to be half AI generated

[steady isle]

i wrote this by myself lmao

[rich adder]

oh well it might as well have been

[steady isle]

u can cross check if its ai if that is even possible but its not ai

[rich adder]

ok do you know how to store something inside a variable yes ?

[steady isle]

yea

[rich adder]

so start by storing ball direction into one

[steady isle]

as a string?

[rich adder]

why would it be a string, does rigidbody.velocity take in a string ?

[steady isle]

idk

"right" "left"

[rich adder]

yes you do know if you think for a moment

[steady isle]

number

[rich adder]

hover over velocity with your mouse in visual studio

[steady isle]

ok

units per second

[steady isle]

so number?

[rich adder]

a description doesn't mean the type it wants.

[summer stump]

What is velocity is real life?

[rich adder]

when you look at

[steady isle]

speed

[rich adder]

this is Input it wants

[steady isle]

ok

so instead of an int or float i do vector2?

[rich adder]

always read that part of a variable it tells you

[steady isle]

got it

[rich adder]

ok there ya go

[steady isle]

when i create the variable the name is grey

[rich adder]

the editor tells you why

[steady isle]

oh i havent used it

how i usei t

[rich adder]

you should go through some courses
start with pins in this channel

where else would you use it ? what have you been talking about this whole time

[steady isle]

the direction the ball is going

[rich adder]

so why ask such a silly thing

[steady isle]

i meant how

[rich adder]

we just established velocity takes in a vector2

where else

[summer stump]

Have you taken any directed course (and I don't mean youtube)?
I feel like you would benefit from a c# course
https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php
followed by unity's pathways (!learn)

[steady isle]

i did the brackeys one

[summer stump]

Yeah, I personally thing Brackeys is one of the worst, and teaches a lot of bad habits, but either way I said not from youtube

[rich adder]

the brackys c# ones arent good

[steady isle]

oh

[rich adder]

its all small concepts of basics put together

[steady isle]

should i even be starting with unity or just the console

[rich adder]

both work, up to you

this one mixes both Unity specific and C# decenly
https://learn.unity.com/project/beginner-gameplay-scripting

[summer stump]

Unity is just an API built to use (an old verion of) c#
Either is fine

[rich adder]

console runs faster than waiting for script compilation times and such

unity is PAINFULLY slow

even with domain reloading off

but it makes sense when you change 1 script its updating entire UnityEngine assembly and whatever else

so i guess assembly definitions help a lot with that

[eternal needle]

start with just c# and console applications. Hell you could even get away with an online compiler, the only downside is you wont be able to do file stuff (since they'll restrict it)

[queen adder]

how long does new unity compiles in betterish pc's?

[rich adder]

not that much better

tbh

[queen adder]

better than 5 mins?

[eternal needle]

depends entirely on how much is in your project, on my current newish project like a few seconds

[rich adder]

feels like its gotten slower if anything

[queen adder]

mine is 5 mins on first script written

unity 21

[steady isle]

if im just using vscode to code a game what should i aim for

[queen adder]

anything, just dont overscope like me

[rich adder]

you can make console apps in any IDE, even online as mentioned

[summer stump]

Shouldn't be relevant at all which ide you use

[eternal needle]

One of my friends has the same issue on a good pc unity 2022, on the same project as me, while mine takes like 5 seconds. Maybe theres some setting, idk what causes it

[rich adder]

Cpu difference

prob

[queen adder]

5 mins vs 5 sec on same project?

[eternal needle]

their whole pc is better than mine pretty sure

yea same project, we are working together

[rich adder]

yeah my 2014 macbook somehow opens projects faster than my new gaming desktop 🤷‍♂️

[queen adder]

i dont even really mind opening times, the compilation is more important

[rich adder]

its the same with compiling for me

my shitty laptop somehow compiles it faster

could be that macos is more efficient than windows tho

[queen adder]

🪟 🍎

[eternal needle]

if any of you finds anything more about it, id love to know what causes or fixes it. to pass onto my friend or just incase it happens to me in the future

[queen adder]

I cant even think of any reason how a better pc perform worse than yours

[steady isle]

my vs code is bugging

[queen adder]

dont think ive seen a setting for any relevant

[steady isle]

nothing is auto filling and i cant do anything for the console

[rich adder]

use VS instead of VSCode

[steady isle]

ok

[rich adder]

also you need to do it through the CLI in vscode

[steady isle]

huh

[rich adder]

CLI = Command Line Interface

dotnet new console

if you have C# Devkit it should load the Solution Explorer

[summer stump]

What is it even supposed to autofil? There isn't a language extension

[steady isle]

i put c#

i selected it

[rich adder]

that wont work

[steady isle]

oh

[queen adder]

configure ide if you want autocompletion

[rich adder]

!vscode

[eternal falcon]

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[steady isle]

u said use vs tho

[rich adder]

no wonder your font screenshot was weird lol did you have a Visual Studio skin on VScode

yes Indeed

[steady isle]

wat

[rich adder]

doesnt hurt to configure both, but VS is superior

VScode is buggy

[scarlet skiff]

why wont htis work bro

it simply ignores the size of the list

[slender nymph]

Console.WriteLine does not write to unity's console

[rich adder]

!cs

[eternal falcon]

Join the C# Discord server, a programming server aimed at coders discussing everything related to C# (CSharp) and .NET. https://discord.com/invite/csharp

[steady isle]

isnt it debug.log

not console.writeline

[rich adder]

yea

[summer stump]

Or print, but that doesn't enjoy the second parameter of Debug.Log

Edit: @queen adder ?

[steady isle]

i actually got something right

how do i get it to be c#

[rich adder]

print only works in MB iirc

[steady isle]

in vs

code

[summer stump]

Yep

[queen adder]

it's just a lazy method, since it's shorter to write

[rich adder]

I sent you the guide

[slender nymph]

yep, it's an instance method on MonoBehaviour. it also just calls Debug.Log anyway

[summer stump]

That is an absurd response....

[rich adder]

had a bad habit of using it everywhere , because it shorter to wrie 😅

[rich adder]

haha funny and I just wrote this

one of those cases where short != better

[steady isle]

im not tryna use unity

im tryna use just vscode and do some simple c# console stuff

[summer stump]

Definitely not better always, but not worse either. It just is a thing...

[queen adder]

yea had to stop using it at one point when i had to refactor a lot of things that had it, since I had to turn it into a normal class

[rich adder]

it installs both extensions you need

[steady isle]

i have al of them

and more

[rich adder]

Unity extension install C#Devkit

[steady isle]

its just bugging

[steady isle]

done a while ago

[rich adder]

so did you create new console app like i said ?

[steady isle]

wat

[rich adder]

in terminal

[queen adder]

now that i think of it, i could have just added the method in that case lol

[steady isle]

wat

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message

do you know what Terminal window is ?

[steady isle]

yea js did it

forgot that was the first step lmao

what i do after

[rich adder]

open program.cs it Should open solution explorer if you did everything correct

[summer stump]

This is beyond the scope of a unity server
#💻┃code-beginner message

Or just check out on of the many guides on google

[steady isle]

where i find program.cs

[rich adder]

here the instructions mate
this indeed is a unity help channel
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio-code?pivots=dotnet-7-0

[fierce shuttle]

There are also C# focused servers if your not working in Unity, I believe one was linked earlier that may be worth joining

[summer stump]

Yeah, I just linked back to it here
#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

unity uses C# right?

[summer stump]

Yes

[queen adder]

thought so

[steady isle]

https://gdl.space/sezigehumo.cs

Did i call this method wrong or something

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/liteliyiti.cpp
I am trying to get it to add 10 to the money but it seems to be adding a lot more as if its adding 10 then multiplying The multiplier will eventually become a different number but I ave tried a few different ways but I cant seem to get it to work

im new to c# I guess failure is the best way to learn

[summer stump]

So, again, this is c# stuff, not unity. So you should ask in the c# server.
#💻┃code-beginner message
But I don't actually see you create a Wizard or call CastSpell anywhere

[languid spire]

money += money means doubling your money

[queen adder]

right but I cant seem to get it to just add 10 I have tried money += multiplier but it stops at 10 and wont increase

[quiet dune]

I dont realy get Quaternions... Is there a direct way to just rotate an existing quaternion by a certain degree around a certain axis without having to take the whole thing apart and building a new one?

[oblique gale]

should I make my UI a prefab? or save it as a scene? how do I make this modular?

[languid spire]

which variable contains 10 ?

[summer stump]

Yes you should make it a prefab. Maybe save it in a scene you load additively
Make it modular by loading and unloading smaller more modular prefabs

[queen adder]

Ive just realised I set the money to 10 not the multiplier 🤦‍♂️

[north kiln]

Any reason not to just use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html?

[oblique gale]

I see.. thanks :D

[queen adder]

fixed it. was such a simple problem imma start seperating variable more

[quiet dune]

I don't have a gameObject i want to rotate. I need a rotation for an OverlapBox (which takes a Quaternion for its rotation) and want the box to have a certain difference in orientation from a specific gameObject

[north kiln]

Right. Then you should create a quaternion using Quaternion.AngleAxis, and multiply it with another quaternion to rotate it around that axis

https://unity.huh.how/info/quaternions/multiplication if it helps any

[quiet dune]

Thanks! Thats probably it and i was almost there 😉 I'll see if the result realy is what i wanted

[steady isle]

i did call cast spell but it didnt work so i deleted it

[summer stump]

Did you create a wizard to call CastSpell ON?
Same as with Unity, you need an instance

[steady isle]

Alr

[rich adder]

which course are you following ? seem to be missing the basics already

[steady isle]

I’m testing what I know before I take the course

[charred fossil]

https://paste.ofcode.org/bGCfmYgMnS4dAPCyc7GPPW

[steady isle]

How I do that

[summer stump]

This is not a unity issue. Ask in the c# server
And it's not really testing what you know if you're asking at every major step. No offense

[charred fossil]

Just to reiterate, I would really appreciate some help with my code. I am pretty new to unity and so debugging has been quite difficult. For some reason, even if I start my character on the floor, if I use wasd to move it teleports the character up 2 in the air and I have no idea why. Any help would be really greatly appreciated.

[rich adder]

start remembering code runs top to bottom
You put ReadLine before you WriteLine

 string potatootomato = Console.ReadLine();
     Console.WriteLine("Would you like to cast potato or tomato?(type in lowercase)");```

[steady isle]

i know how to fix that

i put it after that console.writeline

[rich adder]

alr now go to some courses, some good ones pinned in this channel

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/ikozexudic.cpp
im getting the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object unsure what is meant by this but happened since I added MultiText

[rich adder]

you have to read the line number

[slender nymph]

don't forget to assign your references in the inspector

[queen adder]

its on 31 but I dont see a problem with that

[queen adder]

unsure what you mean by references can you elaborate I only started unity today

[rich adder]

MultiText is null, so you never assigned in

[slender nymph]

then start with beginner courses. there are some good c# courses pinned in this channel and the pathways on the unity !learn site a good place to start to learn the unity engine

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[rich adder]

which you do in this case by the inspector like they said

[steel shale]

What Boxfriend said, you will learn so much faster if you do some of the Unity Learn courses

[queen adder]

ive started these and im doing them then do a little project with what I learnt then continuing

[rich adder]

inspector is a fundamental thing you should've learned

[slender nymph]

you started unity today and you claim to have done enough starter courses to branch off to your own projects? lol

and no, random youtube tutorials that just tell you exactly what to do but not why you should do it do not count as beginner courses

[queen adder]

no no I am using some amounts of what I have learnt this is a very basic one I click a button and it adds a value

[steel shale]

ah so this is your first day trying your own thing instead of just a unity course

[queen adder]

I understand what happened in the tutorial I watched it was just simple math operators but im working away from one now it was working until I added a text label

[steel shale]

that's what I like about Unity learn, they actually tell you why you're doing X or Y, and if they realize they forgot an explanation, they go back and include it in post.

[queen adder]

I done like 8 hours of the course today

[steel shale]

ah nice, that is progress

I started those courses in January, it was tough at first but you'll burn through them

[queen adder]

I mean I am only doing this to learn the basics as of now not expecting to create a million dollar game but more a project I can use to reflect on the progress I have made in the future

[steel shale]

that is a good way to go about it, BUT, at this point early on, you will learn so much each day that you'll find yourself constantly re-doing your personal project as you learn new things

trust me, i did the same thing haha

[rich adder]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

this will show the essentials like working with the inspector

[queen adder]

as long as im doing something and making progress and not lacking motivation 24/7 im happy

[swift wedge]

Please help: OnCollisionEnter2D not working. But both game objects clearly touch visually.

hey I have two 2d game objects, invader and target

the invader game object has a box collider 2d, and a rigidbody 2d that is kinematic

the target game object just has a box collider 2d and a target script

"is trigger" IS NOT ON the box collider components of the game objects

I have this code in the target script, and when I press play, nothing fires from this function.

`private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
Debug.Log("hello");

if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("invader"))
{
    Debug.Log("collision inv");
}else{
    Debug.Log("collision else inv");
}

} `

[queen adder]

Ok thanks I have started this although I havent finished

[rich adder]

its worth it, it covers a lot including configuring Visual Studio

[steel shale]

same for me, I spent the past two weeks working on a movement system for a single character in a game, only to scrap it all after realizing what I had already was decent enough. But even if 2 weeks were wasted, it was 2 weeks of learning new things about movement, rather than just being unmotivated and doing nothing

[queen adder]

alr thanks

[rich adder]

you have at least 1 rigidbody ?

[slender nymph]

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

[swift wedge]

yeah the invader has a rigidbody

[queen adder]

im really bad when it comes to motivation I had started doing something like a few months ago and Ive learnt a lot and made a bit of money I just havent been motivated to do anymore but I should really but eh

[raw hamlet]

what is the best way to store data for a small object and only one object will use it?

[slender nymph]

the other object needs a non-kinematic rigidbody then

[rich adder]

see this table
https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/collision-matrix-2d

[rich adder]

store it where? runtime or

[swift wedge]

I just added a rigidbody to the other game object and it still isnt firing at all

[raw hamlet]

runtime

[slender nymph]

because it is static which is basically the same as no rigidbody

[rich adder]

it cant be static

[slender nymph]

did you even look at the links that were sent to you?

[swift wedge]

this is a great chart!!

[rich adder]

what kinda data do you wanna store ?

[swift wedge]

i'm looking now thank you

[raw hamlet]

numbers/strings

[swift wedge]

thank you all!!

[rich adder]

is it many objects? make a struct and use a dictionary or something

[raw hamlet]

no, it is just one object. What script should I be saving the data? There will be multiple scripts working together

[rich adder]

that depends on your project lol

[raw hamlet]

https://gdl.space/sapifaxoto.cpp

[rich adder]

put link

or not..

[summer stump]

Did I miss where you said what the issue is?

[ionic zephyr]

oh i had post it in unity talk channel talking to navarone

my issue is that i dont know how to do an action only when the down arrow button is pressed

but whenever i put this code it takes a while to detect

the input

[summer stump]

It should be called on the exact from you press the down arrow (and only that frame) 🤷‍♂️
The other ones should probably be if statements, not if else though

[slender nymph]

if you mean that last if statement, you're not checking if the down arrow is pressed. you're just checking that it was not started being pressed this frame

[summer stump]

Ohhh, it was way over on the right, so I didn't see the down arrow on that check.

[ionic zephyr]

so the fix should be to change else if to iff

[slender nymph]

huh?

[summer stump]

You gotta clarify what the issue is.
What I said was an aside
What boxfriend said is probably the issue (but you weren't very clear, so...)

[ionic zephyr]

ok, let me be clear

[slender nymph]

is this not about the last if statement that is not an else if? or have i got the issue mixed up because you didn't bother posting it with your code and haven't fully explained exactly what you are trying to do compared to what is actually happening?

[summer stump]

I'm assuming this is the same as your question here?
#1173389909684387840 message

[ionic zephyr]

I have this code in which if GetButtonDown, something occurs and if GetButtonUp the action stops. However, whenever I play the game, the downarrow input takes a bit to be recognized

[summer stump]

Yeah, then change if else to if.
That is part of it

[ionic zephyr]

why does that make the difference?

[slender nymph]

well it will only register on the first frame you hold the button if you are not already using a horizontal key that frame

[polar acorn]

GetButtonDown happens the frame you begin pressing the key.

GetButtonUp happens the frame you release the key.

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, then why does it take time to recognzie the imput?

[summer stump]

Show the actual methods being called.

[polar acorn]

It doesn't. It happens right away. But you are calling idle every frame while holding the down arrow that is probably overwriting whatever you were trying to do

[ionic zephyr]

ooooh i see

lets see what happens

nope, it still takes time to react

but the IDLE only starts whenever there isnt ANY input AT ALL right?

[polar acorn]

Then you're going to need to post the full code and explain what you're expecting to see happening instantly but isn't.

[slender nymph]

no. it can start when you are holding the down arrow

[polar acorn]

Unless you've changed it, idle happens whenever you didn't start pressing down this frame. If you're holding down it still runs

[ionic zephyr]

so what is the code i should put

if (!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow) && !Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow) && !Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow))
{
_myManoloMove.IDLE();
}

this is the code

[polar acorn]

That's the same code you had before, did you change anything?

[ionic zephyr]

nono im only asking what should i modify

[polar acorn]

If you don't want it to happen while holding the down key, you should check if you're holding the down key, instead of just checking for a press

[ionic zephyr]

so GetKey instead of GetKeyDown?

i really dont understand

[teal elk]

get key down is the one you want to use , i think.

[muted wadi]

do i need to add a return to a while loop if i want it to keep running

[rich adder]

continue

return exist out the whole function
break is to only stop loop

[summer stump]

That's what they have now

[muted wadi]

ah gotcha

[teal elk]

😅 , my mb i misunderstood

[summer stump]

It's unclear what you WANT. Do you want to be idle as soon as you are not holding the keys?

If so, them try it

[ionic zephyr]

i want idle as soon as getkey up

the problem is that the downarrow input takes a while to be actioned

[summer stump]

GetKeyUp of ANY of the keys, or NONE of the keys being down?

[muted wadi]

{
    while (!hasSeenPlayer)
    {
        enemyAgent.SetDestination(pp1.position);
        currentPP = pp1;
        if (distFromPP <= 1)
        {
            enemyAgent.SetDestination(pp2.position);
        }
        else continue;
    }
    
}``` @rich adder so if i write continue then it'll just return to the top and run it again right?

[ionic zephyr]

of the downarrow key

[rich adder]

oh misread what you said, thought you were talking about a for loop myb
you mean you want infinite loop or something

you dont need anything for while loop to keep running

[muted wadi]

oh

[rich adder]

(ofc assuming the () condition doesn't end it)

[summer stump]

Then just call idle in the getkeyup of the down arrow instead of that compound if?

[summer stump]

Continue is to skip the rest of the code and start again at the top. If you do it at the bottom it doesn't make a difference

[ionic zephyr]

yes okay but that still doesnt fix the input beign recognized after a while

[rich adder]

to end it pre-mature without if condition you would just put break to end the while loop @muted wadi

[summer stump]

Did you try?
The input is recognized immediately, the HANDLING of the input is the issue

[ionic zephyr]

yes

[muted wadi]

oh i see

[summer stump]

Then as asked, show the rest of the code

[slender nymph]

can you explain what you mean by this and actually share the rest of the code as you've been asked several times now?

[muted wadi]

also im trying to write a script that takes the positions of 4 patrol points (assigned in the editor), and make the navmeshagent move from 1 to 4 indefinitely unless the player activates the hasSeenPlayer bool. I'm not really sure if the way im doing it is efficient at all.

[ionic zephyr]

https://gdl.space/gezalayeqi.cs

this is the full code

[rich adder]

use a while looop but use a coroutine
then push the index ++ when you hit a waypoint

[ionic zephyr]

of the input manager

[slender nymph]

and share the class where those methods you are calling are actually implemented

[ionic zephyr]

The player takes some time to react to the down imput

[ionic zephyr]

what?

[muted wadi]

i understand coroutines, not sure how to add a loop to it tho

[slender nymph]

what about that statement was not clear?

[slender nymph]

in what way

[ionic zephyr]

please, I would like you to be more respectful

[short hazel]

Do note that this will freeze the game. While in the loop, no other code will run, and Unity won't go to the next frame until your code has finished executing. Which is not possible, because it's in a loop right now. Be prepared to save your project and force-shutdown Unity if execution ever enters this loop

[ionic zephyr]

in the way that i press the down arrow and the player doesnt react after 1 or 2 seconds while playing

[slender nymph]

not everything is an attack against you. but i guess if you don't want to clarify what part of what i said you do not understand then i won't bother helping

[muted wadi]

really?

well thanks i guess, didn't know my loop was gonna blow up unity

[short hazel]

You need to put the loop in a coroutine and yield in it

[ionic zephyr]

i have been clarifying it since I enterde this chat

please i need some help

[muted wadi]

ah i see

[short hazel]

Yielding allows Unity to render the next 1+ frames, thus not freezing

[muted wadi]

ok i'll give that a shot and inevitably come crawling back once i've pulled out enough of my scalp

[slender nymph]

lol no you haven't. you keep repeating the same vague nonsense over and over. "it doesn't react" doesn't actually say anything about what behavior you are experiencing versus what is actually happening. but that's also not even what i was referring to there.
but you can stop pinging me now. you don't want to actually answer questions or provide the information that has been requested of you so i'm blocking you and will not be helping further 🤷‍♂️

[teal elk]

I'm currently working on a Unity project and I've encountered an issue where my player character is not rotating towards the mouse position. I'm trying to make the player character face the direction of the mouse cursor, but it's not working as expected.Could anyone help me please.
player controller.cs script ( https://paste.ofcode.org/34EPK3A6J88hXp3qtQHV97m ) , Player.cs script (https://paste.ofcode.org/V54BvCfLnTbNwZtqyykPAh)

[ionic zephyr]

please, i do want to, i just need a little bit of a guidance

okay, give me the last opportunity okay

[ionic zephyr]

im gonna write it as precisely as possible

[rich adder]

something like this maybe ```cs
public Transform[] waypoints;
int currentIndexWaypoint = 0;
IEnumerator GoTowaypoints()
{
while(patrolling)
{
if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, waypoints[currentIndexWaypoint].position) < 1)
{
currentIndexWaypoint = (currentIndexWaypoint + 1) % waypoints.Length;
}

        if (seesPlayer)
        {
            patrolling = false;
        }
        //go to waypoint 
        yield return null;
    }
}```

[summer stump]

Just share the. Code being called by the input.

[ionic zephyr]

i already did it

[summer stump]

Lavanta
IDLE
etc

[ionic zephyr]

oh ok

[summer stump]

This is not it.

[ionic zephyr]

https://gdl.space/isawajivuk.cpp

[last grove]

my character controller no longer moves my character after I made custom gravity

[muted wadi]

yeah thats pretty much what i was doing before, minus the coroutine, also good shout on that currentIndexWaypoint, i wasn't really sure how to track the current patrol point

im quite awful with loops right now

[rich adder]

you can do the same logic in Update

I would not use a while loop there tho

[verbal dome]

Ok. What did you do exactly?

[slender nymph]

i would recommend instead of raycasting the ground (since that not only requires a collider so it won't work if your mouse is not over a collider on whatever layer your groundMask is on but also may end up at a different elevation from the player), i would instead raycast against a plane using the player's position and up direction.
here is an example: https://unity.huh.how/screentoworldpoint#using-a-plane

[muted wadi]

yeah but i have a coroutine for my field of view check so its probably fine to have one for the patrols too

[last grove]

I wrote custom gravity that adds a force to the rigidbody dependng on which gravity fields the player is intersecting with. Haven't change anything with the character controller but now it won't move

[rich adder]

yeah its fine to run multiple ones thats why they are sorta-async

[last grove]

I also tried reverting to the old system I used and that doesn't work either

[teal elk]

lol solved it for me , i forgot to set layer , only my ground is using that layer mask. ty for the help 😅

[summer stump]

Does the other animation state have an exit time?
Now that I see it, it seems like an animation issue

[verbal dome]

You should show code if you expect to get h elp

[ionic zephyr]

the "agacha"?

[verbal dome]

Wait you said rigidbody and CharacterController? Those don't work together

You should pick either one

[summer stump]

Sure

[last grove]

its a custom character controller

        
        if (onGround)
        {
            rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f, ForceMode.Force);
        } 
        else 
        {
            rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f * airMultiplier, ForceMode.Force);
        }```This is for the player movement

[ionic zephyr]

where can I check that?

[verbal dome]

Looks ok, what about the gravity part?

[last grove]

rb.AddForce(gravity, ForceMode.Acceleration);This is how the gravity is applied which is from this gravity = CustomGravity.GetGravity(rb.position);

[last grove]

    {
        Vector3 g = Vector3.zero;
        for (int i = 0; i < sources.Count; i++)
        {
            g += sources[i].GetGravity(position);
        }
        return g;
    }```This is the get gravity method

[ionic zephyr]

oooh ok

i see

yes it has

[last grove]

I checked and the script for movement is registering input

[ionic zephyr]

Should I uncheck it?

[verbal dome]

Maybe the gravity force is just really massive and keeps you stuck on the ground?

[last grove]

definitely possible

[verbal dome]

sources[i].GetGravity is still a mystery

[last grove]

thats a list of all the objects containing the gravity script

its just adding it all together based on influence by distance

[verbal dome]

Oh so it's recursive? 🤔

[verbal dome]

I mean the GetGravity method you call here. Is it a different method than the one you posted?

[last grove]

    {
        return Physics.gravity;
    }```

[verbal dome]

I see. That doesn't really make sense to me

If you have 5 sources, your gravity will be 5x from normal

[summer stump]

Well, if your issue is that you want it to be immediate, an exit time may not be what you want.
The input is immediate, the animation is not

[verbal dome]

Or something

[ionic zephyr]

thanks bro it wassss

thanks for the patience

[last grove]

I set everything around the player to 0.1 gravity and for some reason the player now just floats straight up

[ionic zephyr]

Now, does somebody know how to reduce the collider of my object if it crawls?

[verbal dome]

If you set gravity Y to 0.1, then yes things will float upwards

Normally gravity is negative Y

Maybe explain what is the purpose of this system?

And what kinda game

[last grove]

I changed it to negatives and its still floating upward

[verbal dome]

Changed what to negative, exactly?

[last grove]

the gravity values on the planes

[tender stag]

why am i getting this?

'Random' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.Random' and 'System.Random'CS0104

[last grove]

they should be getting converted to negatives either way

[summer stump]

Both namespaces have that Random class
using Random = UnityEngine;

[tender stag]

its not that

[verbal dome]

What is a gravity value? Is it your own variable or the rigidbody gravity scale or what

[last grove]

    {
        Vector3 up = transform.up;

        float distance = Vector3.Dot(up, position - transform.position);
        if (distance > range)
        {
            return Vector3.zero;
        }

        float g = -gravity;
        if (distance > 0f)
        {
            g *= 1f - distance / range;
        }

        return g * up;
    }```All of the planes use this getgravity method

[summer stump]

? Yes it is

[tender stag]

wait what do you mean

[summer stump]

Both System and UnityEngine have a Random class
It is ambiguous which you want to use
So clarify it

[last grove]

custom float value

[verbal dome]

It doesn't know which Random you want to use

[tender stag]

oh

so i just write like UnityEngine.Random?

[verbal dome]

See you should tell me that instead of expecting me to know everything about your game

[summer stump]

I just gave you what to write.

#💻┃code-beginner message

[last grove]

hey man theres a lot of factors here. I can't cover everything the first time around

[tender stag]

oh alright

thanks

[summer stump]

Oh wait. Should be using Random = UnityEngine.Random;
(Or System.Random if you want...)
Sorry

[fast oracle]

Is there a certain wait to enable certain attributes only if one box is pressed?

checked

[verbal dome]

You mean like, in the inspector?

[fast oracle]

yeah

[verbal dome]

It's not builtin, you could use a 3rd party package like NaughtyAttributes though. It has HideIf/ShowIf and a bunch of other useful stuff
https://dbrizov.github.io/na-docs/attributes/meta_attributes/show_hide_if.html

Or make a custom editor script

[fast oracle]

Okay, Thanks!

Is there an attribute for a drop down menu

like this?

[verbal dome]

enums will draw like that automatically

public enum BodyType
{
  Dynamic,
  Kinematic,
  Static
}
[SerializeField] BodyType bodyType;```
As an example

[fast oracle]

thanks

[last grove]

This is what I'm seeing in terms of what gravity is being applied

[verbal dome]

I still have no idea how your game works/is supposed to work though

[verbal dome]

Like why is there a Vector3.dot check with upwards direction?

Is that code on the plane?

Is it an airplane?

[last grove]

that's to check if the player is within the range of the planes gravity

[verbal dome]

It says distance, but it's really a dot product, kinda confusing

[last grove]

its some weird math

[verbal dome]

Did you write it?

[last grove]

I followed a tutorial for all of this

I also found that the playermovement script is not actually registering any input from the player

[ionic zephyr]

How can I reduce the size of my colldier when my player crouches without loosing its position?

[verbal dome]

Change the collider's center as you change its size

[ionic zephyr]

how can i do that?

[verbal dome]

What collider is it?

Anyway it probably has a .center property so use that.

[ionic zephyr]

boxcollider2d

i changed both offset and size, is that okay?

[verbal dome]

Oh yeah it's offset, not center for 2D colliders

Yes, as long as you use the correct values

So if you reduce 0.5 from size Y, you should reduce 0.25 from offset Y (if my brain is braining correctly atm)

[fast oracle]

will it start another courtine before the first one finsihes

[verbal dome]

A clean way to do it would be something likecs float crouchTarget = crouching ? 1f : 0f; // A "smoothed" value that moves between 0 and 1 depending on your crouch state float crouchTransition = Mathf.MoveTowards(crouching, Time.deltaTime * someSpeedFloat); // Apply offset boxCollider.offset = Vector3.Lerp(standOffset, crouchOffset, crouchTransition); // Apply size boxCollider.size= Vector3.Lerp(standSize, crouchSize, crouchTransition);
@ionic zephyr

stand/crouchOffset and stand/crouchSize are Vector3's that you would adjust to your desired values

[sick star]

public GameObject[] Array;

public void ExecuteArrayScripts()
{
    Array[].gameobject.GetComponent<ScriptIwantToExecute>().Function();
}

How can I execute a function from every gameobject in the array?
I tried doing Array[Array.Length] then that but it didnt work

[polar acorn]

foreach

Also, if you have a script you want to reference, you should use that type instead of GameObject

[sick star]

Thanks, both of those things helped

[young warren]

hi, maybe #archived-shaders would be the better channel for this

[dense cargo]

Damnit I thought I was in #archived-shaders

Thanks 😅

[royal osprey]

Does this code good?
I make a cards (units) there will be much of units and maps, so, I made it to make easier card works (hope) in theory I will not be need to set for every card/map their objects
(Sorry for my English, sorry)

[dense cargo]

The really long variable names make it hard to read.

[teal viper]

I don't like that naming convention...😅

Maybe it would be easier if you use the C# naming conventions

[raw hamlet]

How do I change this text using code?

Is it different from doing it with the Legacy text?

[polar acorn]

No, just reference an object of type TMP_Text instead of Text

[raw hamlet]

Thanks

[raw hamlet]

PIN = GetComponent<TMP_Text>();

This just gets the component the script is sitting on right?

It only finds the component from the gameobject the script is attached to right?

[charred spoke]

Yes

[raw hamlet]

Ok thanks.

[summer stump]

Apart from the names (which are ROUGH), you really don't want to use Find() very much.

Where is this code? In Start? Update? We have no idea and the performance impact would be very different between the two

Lastly, your IDE doesn't seem configured? I can't tell

[royal osprey]

I don't know much, doesn't have much experienced in scripting and it's in awake

[sterile igloo]

how do i create signals like they do in godot

[rich adder]

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

[teal viper]

Sounds like signals are an implementation of the events pattern programming pattern.

[oblique gale]

so, should I make my UI a Prefab or a Scene? some say a scene but some say prefab. The thing is I'm going to use the same ui for all the levels. What should I do?

[rich adder]

you asked this earlier and also not a code question

[oblique gale]

ah wait- yes I did I forgot.. Really sorry qwq

[pine bay]

hey, mr. navarone, i do change my code about inventory like this https://gdl.space/imedihupix.cs and finally it save to .json. But i have a problem in my LoadInventory, i want instantiate a game object based on item tag that i save, i already move my prefab to resources folder and it always said prefab not found.

[topaz gorge]

I would use scriptable object instead of a tag, to hold all the data about a item or weapon and so on including the prefab and instantiate a copy of it that way and use a ID to define what item you are saving and loading

You can also make a IDManager that applied ID values to each item in your game using a for loop to make your life easier

[pine bay]

is scriptable object made for each itemprefab? for example there is prefab A and B, and i make scriptableObjectA and scriptableObjectB and attach to the prefab?

[topaz gorge]

Well you can make seperate scripts, like one for Items that hold things that are gonna be common between all your items, and if theres a special item make a seperate script that derives from that to give it special values and so on. And the same would go for the weapons. EX: So you would make a base Weapons script that hold common thing between weapons, like they all have a name, icon, description ex. then make a meele script that derives from that and add like physical attack damage and so on, and you can do that with bows, magic powers and so on

i can provide example scripts if need be

[pine bay]

i want the example script sir

Like that basically

[pine bay]

lets say i make item with both of this script https://gdl.space/norajujasu.cs

[topaz gorge]

nope theres not attaching

https://gdl.space/podoxoyoxa.cs
So in this one at the top i did a create asset menu, so inside where you have your folders and so on, you would right click go to create and find the defined name that you have given it which is this for mine "Items/Weapons/Melee Weapon" and create a new asset and fill in the required information, including dragging in the prefab, all this does is holds a item or weapons Data to be used anywhere

and allows you to make multiple weapons and items super quick

[topaz gorge]

If you need help understanding how this system works ill be glad to hop in a call and teach you how to make it

[pine bay]

it would great sir, so u want to teach me 😄

[topaz gorge]

Yeah i have no problem doing that

[cold bluff]

I'm currently following a tutorial but I think VScode doesn't understand this line and I'm not too sure what I did wrongly when setting up 😭

[cosmic dagger]

i don't think the code editor would get confused about . . . code . . .

did you count your parentheses?

[fierce shuttle]

VSCode should be underlining errors in your code for you, do you have it configured correctly?

[cold bluff]

I think i set it up wrongly? i checked everything else and they matched exactly the same as the video

[cosmic dagger]

i meant, what error are you receiving, if any?

[cold bluff]

no error but unity isn't applying that code

[silver dock]

how do i figure out why calling out this method is enabling a gameobject in my scene which i dont want it to be enabled yet

[cosmic dagger]

is not applying? do you mean the code does not work/run?

[cold bluff]

yeah 😓 sorry i just started today

[cosmic dagger]

is the script attached to a game object in the scene?

[cold bluff]

mhm

the if statement is connected to making the object float

[cosmic dagger]

where is this code placed (within the class/script file)?

[cold bluff]

uhsh

[cosmic dagger]

follow the execution of each line and see what it does. this block of code — method — calls two other methods. look at them to see what they do . . .

[eternal needle]

You have a semicolon after the if statement

[cosmic dagger]

are you following a tutorial?

did you copy the tutorial exactly? i see a mistake on the if statement line . . .

[cold bluff]

ohh.. thank u 😭

[cosmic dagger]

welp, now you know about it . . .

[silver dock]

well this method is just responsible for some playerprefs stuff, it cant possibily enable some gameobject

is there any way to figure in unity which line of code is enabling the object?

[eternal needle]

What about UpdateHealth(), also are you sure the method you've shown is the one responsible for this? What is calling ActivateCommonCold()? Could it be from there

Also what gameobject, what's the objects relation to this script

[cosmic dagger]

you still have to check all the other points of execution . . .

you can check if the GameObject activated has any relation to the GameObject this script is attached to or the code being called . . .

[silver dock]

dont think update health is responsible either, and its being called out by a button, the third image is what it is activating but should not

[cosmic dagger]

why isn't your health text only the numbers? just split "Health" into a separate text component and the actual health value in its own text component . . .

[silver dock]

thats not relevant here

[cosmic dagger]

true, but it's all over the code you sent . . .

[silver dock]

well any clue on whats causing the object to be enabled?

[cosmic dagger]

hard to find. we only the method snippet and the methods it calls to. check the object and see if any scripts have a reference to it . . .

[silver dock]

how do i check if any scripts have a reference to it?

[cosmic dagger]

click on GameObjects with scripts and check the reference fields . . .

or think of the last thing you changed. work backwards from the work you've done. you have to reverse engineer the problem . . .

[silver dock]

Cant find anything man

[young warren]

Ctrl + Shift + F in your IDE and search for SetActive

then look for ones that pass in true for that

[cosmic dagger]

then look for the method that activates a GameObject in your IDE . . .

[silver dock]

Okay i found something setting it to active, but it shouldnt execute until some method calls it, which a method does but then theres no method calling the other method. So the code shouldnt execute cause its not in update or start, do you know what might be causing it to execute?

[cosmic dagger]

place a log in the method that activates it, then you can highlight the log from the console and look at the strack trace to see where it gets called . . .

[young warren]

here's a guide to learn how to debug your code
https://unity.huh.how/debugging

you should learn how to identify which code is being run, be it through logging or using the debugger

[silver dock]

FIxed it, thanks for the help guys

[silent vault]

Hello, not sure this is the best channel to ask but how would I go if I wanted to have this bed be a trigger collider while still using its mesh? I'm creating a toy war game where you control a small soldier and you can walk on the bed and I'd like the player to be able to go through the holes in the frames. But at the same time, since the player can shoot bullets, I'd like the bullets to get destroyed when they hit any part of the bed. Following tutorial video, it seems I need to use a trigger collider. But when I add a mesh collider, the trigger option is only accessible when I check the is convex option which mess the shape of the bed. So is the only solution to add several box colliders manually or is there some better way to handle this?

[oblique ginkgo]

Gotta use convex or box colliders unfortunately afaik.

[silent vault]

Ok, that's gonna be quite annoying :x

[young warren]

you should share what the error says in the console log. it's too tiny in that screenshot

and please dont crosspost

you already asked in #💻┃unity-talk

try googling "Unknown error occurred while loading scene unity"

and you're right that this isn't a code question. should have stuck to #💻┃unity-talk

[sonic remnant]

oh i deleted it there. sorry!

Should we go to that channel?

[young warren]

Hey there, I was wondering whether or not Photon Unity Networking (2.0) is P2P or if Photon has their own servers that they use to handle your games when you use their free package?

[eternal needle]

You can just drag the prefab in the inspector to the field, then instantiate. Shouldnt really need resources in this case

[cold bluff]

wondering why Visual Studio is not automatically suggesting code for Unity even though i have it selected under the external script editor

[eternal needle]

There is a photon discord pinned in #archived-networking

what is damage.ToString()? there should be a compile error?

Giving the actual error would be a good idea. Or at least describe the problem.

The option to "add modules" may be missing if you've installed your editor from not within the Hub
Anyway it's not necessary to install VS through the "modules" if you install it / have installed it independently, like the note in the instruction page implies
But it's also an option to you to reinstall the editor through the Hub and check the VS module during that installation

hey guys do you know what is making my animations so jerky? the float values of moveX and moveY keep going up and down which is set in line 101 of my code. i dont know why the values are so jittery. any help? https://pastebin.com/ngLea2Le

(my agent is using root motion animations for movement)

(ps : i think this is more of a code problem then a ai problem so im putting it here)

[fossil drum]

        // Low-pass filter the deltaMove
        float smooth = Mathf.Min(1.0f, Time.deltaTime / 0.15f);
        smoothDeltaPosition = Vector2.Lerp(smoothDeltaPosition, deltaPosition, smooth);

        // Update velocity if time advances
        if (Time.deltaTime > 1e-5f)
            velocity = smoothDeltaPosition / Time.deltaTime;

        animator.SetFloat(animator_DX_param, velocity.x);
        animator.SetFloat(animator_DY_param, velocity.y);

This part is strange to me, not even sure what you are trying to do here.
Lerp means you Linearly Interpolate between 2 things, in this case smoothDeltaPosition and deltaPosition, both are changing constantly, and your smooth is changing constantly and not in a good way.
So you pick a point between 2 points at somewhat random.

[neon ivy]

what datatypes does a button's OnClick event support? I'm trying to use an enum but I guess it doesn't support that

[vast vessel]

oh that? its from here : https://docs.unity3d.com/550/Documentation/Manual/nav-CouplingAnimationAndNavigation.html

its unity official manual on how to use ai with root motion animation

i dont even know what it does

[solemn fractal]

hey guys, how can I access inside a scriptable object the collider button to control the size of the collider ? I have an enemy prefab and use the a scriptable object to control things like HP, attack damage etc.. but each enemy is dif in size, how can I control the size of the collider for each?

[hexed terrace]

by having the collider on the prefab for the enemy 🤔

[solemn fractal]

i have it. but each enemy i spawn is dif in size, controlling the size via scriptable object and also sprite..

they need to have dif collider size.. but I cant control individually only in the prefab..

but in the prefab its one size for all

[fossil drum]

I honestly have no clue then, it makes no sense to me.

[ivory bobcat]

If the code is identical to the doc, the error lies with the animation setup and not with code

[vast vessel]

do you know what the problem is? because the animation works fine in inspector preview, and the jittering is caused by the values rapidly going up and down(i think)

also ive tried the animations in play mode on a model without any scripts attached and that works fine too

the blending, the looping

also there isnt a race condition happening with the agent and animator as far as i can tell

ive disabled the agents update position just like the docs said

[swift wedge]

When I click overrides -> apply all on an instance of a prefab, it doesnt apply the changes to the prefab!

does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

it doesn't seem to be able to reference the game objects from the prefab, but knows how many there are in each array

can someone tell me why this is glitching out when i move my mouse fast?

Assets\Scripts\Pickaxe.cs(24,30): error CS1061: 'Camera' does not contain a definition for 'ScreenPointToRay' and no accessible extension method 'ScreenPointToRay' accepting a first argument of type 'Camera' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

gpt and documentation says that it exists?

[tender stag]

if gpt says then it must be true

[lofty sequoia]

nah i just had to double check

[gaunt ice]

Do you have a custom class called Camera?

[tender stag]

if you didnt copy this code from chat gpt then maybe it would work

[lofty sequoia]

no

[lofty sequoia]

i tried to do it myself beforehand and it said its not defined

thought i missed something so i told it to rewrite it

omg i just realised what the error is

[fossil drum]

You Lerp towards your rotation, so there is a delay.
If you move real fast, you go backwards to the same rotation, because that's closer to the desired rotation.

[tender stag]

its not that

look

i thought of that as well

wait actually it might be

my bad

[tender stag]

can i like limit it somehow?

maybe the speed of the rotation

[fossil drum]

You could have a float value outside of your rotation for example, and Lerp towards that float. So if you have a float with 3600, it will rotate 10 times towards the right.
And you make a rotation based on that float.

[tender stag]

but after 10 times same thing would happen

[fossil drum]

No, if you want to rotate to the right another 10 times, your float would be 7200

[tender stag]

i did this

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/nonuxetoba.pgsql

limited the speed of the rotation

clamped it

[fossil drum]

Perhaps that works too. I don't know how that fares with different FPS for example.

[fossil drum]

Looks good

HealthBarScript has:
public void UpdateHealthBar(int CurHP, int MaxHP) { slider.value = CurHP / MaxHP; }

Unit/Player/AI/Enemy has:
private void UpdateHealthBar(){ if (healthBar) {healthBar.UpdateHealthBar(CurHP, MaxHP);} }

...and...

public void TakeDamage(float damage){
curHP -= Mathf.RoundToInt(damage);
healthBar.UpdateHealthBar(CurHP, MaxHP);
}

BUT My HP bar doesn't work, what went wrong, this was 100% functional yesterday

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "doesn't work"? What debugging steps have you taken?

[mighty moat]

I can see my vars curHP and maxHP and they work fine

but the HP BAR Doesnt ddraw the vars accurately ( very wrong drawing )

and its simple code

slider.value = curHP / MaxHP;

this worked 100% yesterday

[gaunt ice]

i believe it wont work
your curHP should be always < MaxHP and return 0

[mighty moat]

my curHP = maxHP at the start

ONce taken DAMAGE ... My CurHP should be .. = MaxHP-Damage=CurHP

CurhP shouldnt NEVER be 0 (unless chaaracter is dead

[fossil drum]

curHP and MaxHP both integers?

[mighty moat]

I don't understan why it should retrurn 0

yeah both INTs

[fossil drum]

Then you are doing an Integer division, and always get an Integer back.

So its probably always 0 or 1

[mighty moat]

that should have been obvious, thank you

So I need to convert Cur + Max to Floats?

[fossil drum]

Or cast one of the values to a float.

[mighty moat]

or can I draw HP bar with INTS?

so I can make it work if only 1 var is Float ? thats easy

[fossil drum]

slider.value = curHP / MaxHP / 1.0f; should also work, as long as 1 of the values is not an int, it will do a float division.
(Kind of janky to do it this way)

[mighty moat]

I made my maxHP a float, and left my curHP as an INT

It now works 100%

[fossil drum]

🎉

[mighty moat]

TYVM bro!

[tender stag]

i've got this name text

and i need to make it move with the head

how do i do that?

[tender stag]

this is a texture image

the actual character is just below the map

the target would be the head and name would be the text

this doesnt work

[noble depot]

why am I getting this error? my script has no compile error

[keen dew]

Remove the script from the object and add it again

[unreal whale]

Text at the UI level, it naturally has no work。you need use Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(targetPosition);

[languid spire]

if you have ANY compile errors, fix them

[keen dew]

Based on this: #💻┃unity-talk message the filename is wrong

[noble depot]

same issue, I removed component, deleted file, and then added new script and added the code

[noble depot]

the filename?

[silk night]

Does your class have the same Name as your file?

[noble depot]

no... I didn't know that was needed

yes ok that fixed it now

[silk night]

You can potentially have multiple classes in a file so unity doesnt know which one to select

So its done based on file name

[noble depot]

gotcha, thank you

[distant mesa]

Reference rewriter: Error: method System.String System.Web.HttpUtility::UrlEncode(System.String,System.Text.Encoding) doesn't exist in target framework. It is referenced from RestSharp.dll at System.String
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? got like 10 of these kind of errors regarding RestSharp when building

[tender stag]

all i really need i think is the original position of the text, original position of the head, and then like a multiplier of how much the text moves with the head

and calculate how much the head moves from its original position

and apply those values with a multiplier to the text

[honest ore]

Hello, using XRInteractionToolkit I'm currently trying to figure out a way to check if an object has been placed in the XRSocketInteractor, what I am trying to achieve is a way to set the parent of the object that has been placed in the Socket to be the object that has the XRSocketInteractor as a child

[unreal whale]

You need to convert the head world coordinate to screen coordinate.

[tender stag]

could you please help me

im so confused

[unreal whale]

Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(targetPosition)

targetPosition is head position

and result is head position on your screen

[tender stag]

but the head is there

[unreal whale]

script

[tender stag]

the text is here

[tender stag]

yeah i have the same thing

[unreal whale]

Replacing rectTransform with transform

[tender stag]

text is still there

[unreal whale]

game view

[unreal whale]

You can't see the character's head, of course the text will be in that position

[tender stag]

what

thats why i said i need to keep an offset

i need the text to stay in the position its at

so in start i should set a defaultPosition

and then i just need to add or multiply how much the head moves

with a multiplier

[unreal whale]

Did you use two cameras

[tender stag]

i have multiple cameras

its detecting the right camera

[tender stag]

yup

[unreal whale]

Replace it with the character's camera

[tender stag]

what is that gonna do?

[unreal whale]

just do it

[tender stag]

text is here now

in full screen its here

what the hell

lmao

[rich adder]

is this UI?

[tender stag]

yes

[rich adder]

you should be using anchors

[oak imp]

Yo anyone know a good way to index transform? Should I just make my own array?

[tender stag]

the character is a texture

[rich adder]

so ?

[tender stag]

i am using anchors

i have everything setup correctly

except the script

[rich adder]

you said the text is moving ?

[unreal whale]

use mesh text instead

[tender stag]

i want it to move with the head

like it is right now

but its in the wrong spot

[rich adder]

but I can't tell which one is UI elements and which one is world item

[tender stag]

the text is UI

this is UI

this is a raw image

with a texture

[rich adder]

I see

[tender stag]

from this camera

[rich adder]

you want text to rotate with player ?

[tender stag]

i just want it to move along x and y axis

no rotating

[tender stag]

with the head

and the neck is here

[unreal whale]

use mesh text

[tender stag]

the bottom circle is the object

[tender stag]

why?

what do you mean mesh text

tmp?

[rich adder]

they mean texmesh but its 3D object not UI

[tender stag]

yeah

[tender stag]

do you think its a good idea to just make a original position of the head and text in start

and then calculate how much the head moves from its original position to where it is in update

and just add that to the text

with a multiplier

so i can control how much it moves

thats what i suggested earlier

[rich adder]

Like an offset you mean?

yea try it

[tender stag]

kind of

so this

and then i need to add the newHeadPosition to the text position right?

[rich adder]

if text is UI dont forget u have to convert it

WorldToScreenPos

[tender stag]

what type would convertedHeadPosition be?

[unreal whale]

He has already tried it before

[tender stag]

its different

[rich adder]

whats error say

[tender stag]

'Vector3' is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Numerics.Vector3' and 'UnityEngine.Vector3'CS0104

oh alright

[rich adder]

delete using Systsem.Numerics

[tender stag]

yeah i just realised

[polar acorn]

You've got two using statements that have the same class in them and it doesn't know which one you mean

[smoky niche]

Is using Mathf.Infinity more performance-intensive than using a smaller number?

[tender stag]

does this look fine?

[rich adder]

why would it,? is just a number (constant)

[verbal dome]

You asked this like yesterday and got an answer...

[tender stag]

yeah i forgot sorry

[unreal whale]

it's const, So there's no difference

[smoky niche]

Okay thanks!

[tender stag]

so when the multiplier is at 0

the text is there

its not at its original position

[rich adder]

looks like its at vector2.zero

[tender stag]

the multiplier was also in the wrong place

because i was multiplying the final position

and not how much it moves

wait no its still multiplying the position

[rich adder]

whats any number * 0

[tender stag]

yeah i know

the multiplier works

its in the wrong place still

its something to do with this name.rectTransform.position = initialNamePosition + convertedHeadPosition;

do i need to multiply it?

[rich adder]

when working with UI you probablu want .achoredPosition

[tender stag]

also yeah

[pliant oyster]

Why does my background move slower if my player moves?
My player logic: https://hatebin.com/ljrfqqjruk
My background logic: https://hatebin.com/wqbqtlgcvk
It also for some reason leaves empty space between my two backgrounds, even though I made sure they align.

[wintry quarry]

to be honest i can't make heads or tails of how your player movement or your background movement works from these scripts.

I can see that at least for keyboard mode, you are setting a Rigidbody velocity, but you also seem to be constantly setting your position to some constant position each frame

[pliant oyster]

In mouse mode, I set the player's X position to the mouse's X position.
The background just continuously goes down before hitting a specified position, then gets set back up.

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show that code - how is it moving?

the BackGroundLogic script only seems to do that "reset" logic

it doesn't seem to do the normal movement part

[pliant oyster]

Here, it's in that same script

[wintry quarry]

ok right so this is confusing me because of the transform.position.y - scrollSpeed

you seem to be subtracting scrollSpeed every frame with no framerate adjustment

meaning it's framerate dependent

[pliant oyster]

Oh!

[wintry quarry]

should be:

transform.position -= Vector3.down * Time.deltaTime;``` for example

[pliant oyster]

Yup, changing it to```cs
transform.position = new Vector2(xPosition, (transform.position.y - (scrollSpeed * Time.deltaTime)));

[pliant oyster]

I have made a slight miscalculation

Oops

[iron hull]

Heya, is there a function that allows me to rotate something so it is always facing the cursor sort of thing or is it done with math / what math would i use?

[wintry quarry]

this is well trod ground, lots of tutorials for it. pretty simple though.

you don't need to use math but many tutorials will

[pliant oyster]

What is it called?

I'd also like to know

[silent haven]

how do i check if a trigger titled "SlimeAttack" stored in "rslime" animator is triggered

[wintry quarry]

idk... "unity 2d look at mouse cursor"?

[unreal whale]

var dir = worldPoston - transform.position; var angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg; transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);

[orchid trout]

I need to encode a very large state hierarchy of booleans to validate a visual style set in inspector
I thought enum flags would be the answer for this but I can't find a way to make the flag enum have mutually exclusive values.
How do I solve this problem? My XY ask is 'how do I make it so when I hit A, B, or C in the flag enum that the other two get unset'? eg. mutual exclusivity
My deeper question is how do I encode a massive hierarchy of possible states that can or cant exist in conjunction, and store it all in a single place that can be passed around easily, and stored all in such a way that its extremely trivial to expand this?

The first time I tried to make this I just added a new enum every time I had a new use case for a new visual state but it rapidly balooned into unusability because there were just too many states, too many use cases with some kind of overlapping mutual exclusivity with some other element of the visual state

[twin bolt]

How do i create a clone of a gameobject foreach string in a list? foreach(string e in Resolutions) { GameObject AnotherChoice = Instantiate(Choice1); AnotherChoice.GetComponent<TMPro.TMP_Text>().text = e; }

This is done at start.

[wintry quarry]

looks fine

what's wrong with it?

Assuming these are UI elements I would expect you to be creating these objects as children of some other UI element (e.g. a LayoutGroup of some kind). But this will definitely create the objects

[twin bolt]

The "AnotherChoice" gameobject is not in the unity editor.

[wintry quarry]

Sure it is

If this code runs, it's creating the object

check your hierarchy

maybe the list is empty btw

which would mean no objects are created

[twin bolt]

Oh sorry, i failed to read the first time.

They are definitely there.

Thanks for the help.

[ripe nymph]

Hello, i've been learning tilemaps a little bit and got stuck, is there any way to spawn new floor tiles while i run?

[rich adder]

yes

[ripe nymph]

What'd be the best way to go about it?

[unreal whale]

Tilemap api

[rich adder]

get your current postion and spawn the tiles under it with WorldToGrid function and then tileMap.SetTile

[ripe nymph]

Awesome, i'll give that a go

[timber tide]

Seems like you need to eliminate some abstraction and just define a root set of elements which cannot be unset by the children. You don't want to run into edge cases where there is no state where a specific set of elements cannot exists with each other.

[oak imp]

Crazy question. Does lists work in unity?

[summer stump]

? Yes?

[oak imp]

I'm trying to add an element to a list and it seems to just seems to crash my start profiler.

Using .Add(item)

[summer stump]

Show the code
Adding things to a list is ubiquitous in games...

[oak imp]

    {
        // At the start we can set everything to zero.
        ZeroScoreBoard();
        // Form childListPosition.
        foreach (Transform child in transform)
        {
            childList.Add(child);
            Debug.Log(string.Format("Child List: {0}", child));
        }
        

    }```

Something as simple as this

[rich adder]

depends where you spawn it @twin bolt

[twin bolt]

I found the issue the clones are set at scale, 0,0,0.

[wintry quarry]

Spawn it in the correct position to begin with. For UI elements typically you want to just use the Instantiate(prefab, layoutParent) overload

[twin bolt]

OKay thanks

[rich adder]

nothing here would crash

[oak imp]

Crazy since I can't even get Debug.Log to print.

[summer stump]

Are you sure the add function is where it crashes?
Do you initialize the list?

[languid spire]

show declaration of childList

[rich adder]

you prob have a null ref and the game pauses so you think it crashed

[oak imp]

private static List<Transform> childList; As a variable to the class.

[rich adder]

yeah its not init

[languid spire]

yes, not initialised

[oak imp]

Mh i'm stupid thanks

[languid spire]

dangerous to have a static List in a Monobehaviour though

[oak imp]

Why is that? Ref accross all instantiations of Scoreboard class in this case.

I mean tbh i only have one instance of scoreboard so this might change, but I am currious as to why it is dangerous.

[rich adder]

make a singleton

[languid spire]

one List containing all the children of all scoreboards, I can't see the point

[buoyant knot]

you need to be very careful with the static keyword

[wintry quarry]

The scoreboard should be the thing that you have one instance of, not the list

just use a normal list in the scoreboard

[oak imp]

Yea. I am gunna change it to non static.

[buoyant knot]

do you want a singleton class?

https://youtu.be/ErJgQY5smnw?si=IuDLa9T9Oj13FDT0

[topaz gorge]

Now im trying to make my own culling system by make a grid of triggers based off chunck and map size, and on wake it gets all the objects that are in that chunck, and if the player isnt within a specified range then a for loop iterates through each obhect disabling them, and same for reenabling them when the player enters the chunck would this be effective, i have a feeling that this will cause a performance issue though later on when adding more clutter to each chunck

[buoyant knot]

https://bitbucket.org/EngiGamesBitbucket/howtomakethatgame/src/master/Canvas Manager/Singleton.cs

singleton.cs

[buoyant knot]

stress test first by just dropping a ton of crap into a few chunks

just take one thing, and copy paste for 10000 things

[oak imp]

Appreciate it 👍

[topaz gorge]

Yeah i figured thats what ill do, just checking and seeing if someone has already tried the solution

[buoyant knot]

to use it, change from:

private void Awake() {
} ```
to
``` public class MyScript : Singleton<MyScript> {
protected override void Awake() {
// DontDestroy = false; // depends if you want to destroy on load
base.Awake();
} ```

Hello, I'm trying to implement native ads in my game but I'm facing an issue:
this is the code for requesting a native ad:

[amber dome]

yes

Looks like it's telling you what's wrong and where to look!

[summer stump]

This is YOUR Debug.LogError it looks like...

[sage mirage]

Yeah, but I cannot understand why it is null? I am checking it in order to not be null.

[wintry quarry]

well that would have nothing to do with what you've shared

it has to do with how you are (or think you are) assigning it to something other than null

"checking if it's null" doesn't make it not null

it just tells you if it's null or not

[sour hound]

i have some problems with my code; i have two audio sources, one for firing my gun and one sound for reloading

however when i initiate the reload sequence the "gunfire" sound is played instead of the reload sound

[pliant oyster]

I have this code for my background:
https://hatebin.com/hkqvhtqpqq
It should move the background down, speeding up more and more until it hits 10000f speed, on the way always teleporting above the player's screen if it gets outside of the visible area. It should then, when it hits 10000f speed, reverse this. Going from the bottom upwards while decelerating at the same speed that it accelerated before. Once it hits 0f, it should go the original way down again, and that repeatedly. For some reason, my code just doesn't work. How do I fix that and make it do what I want it to do?

[glass crest]

Also I got this on android logcat, idk if its relevant:

Then you're probably playing the gunshot audio source, not the reloading one

i dont get it

do i download the code from there as a file and post it here?

[gaunt ice]

copy and paste your code in one of above websites

[sour hound]

https://hatebin.com/tgosjbusji

figured it out

[polar acorn]

m_shootingSound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
m_reloadSound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();

These are both going to get the same audio source

There's no reason to have two variables

[sour hound]

how do i do it otherwise?

[polar acorn]

Use one audio source and change the clip it plays before playing it

[summer stump]

Why not have AudioClips with the sounds, and pass those clips into the source

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource-clip.html

[sour hound]

audioclips allows you to use numerous audio's?

do i then just change the clip depending on what button is pressed?

[summer stump]

An AudioClip IS an imported sound file

So one per sound

Then you pass the one you want to the source and play it
