I dont really know if this is the right place to go for this or not but why wont it let me put this script on i dont get it

[keen dew]

You're supposed to put a gameobject there that has the script attached as a component, not the script itself

[rich adder]

you cant put scene scritps in prefab

[eager elm]

You probably want to drag the "GameManage" gameObject from your Scene into that field

[visual delta]

I put it under an empty game object and it still wont let me drag it in

[rich adder]

you cant add scene objects/scripts into a prefab slot

[visual delta]

😞

[polar acorn]

Prefabs cannot reference objects in scenes

Scene objects only exist when that scene is loaded. Prefabs exist everywhere.

Hello! I am making a 3D game where enemies are being spawned continuously, and I want to know how to remove them when they surpass a certain Y point, I tried to do it inside of a loop, but it just waited until it got deleted and then spawned the next one. Tell me how should i fix this? Here is the code: https://paste.ofcode.org/Xnt6s5AvqSSxPdi8bAikF

[rich adder]

for a loop with all the spawned parts and if one of them matches ur condition remove it

in Update

[wintry quarry]

Couldn't your enemies delete themselves rather than the spawner doing it?

[timber tide]

Coroutine is overkill for this. You've already a loop called update in each gameobject.

rather, what you need is a enemy script for each gameobject to reference.

[rich adder]

if obs have script with their own update mind as well do that

[tribal axle]

should i use invoke instead?

how do i add the delay then?

[rich adder]

they mean a timer in update

[timber tide]

Right, let the enemies keep time of themselves, and when they die you can either tell the spawner it has died, or let the spawn continously check the enemy reference.

[rich adder]

think they said if reaches certain Y pos not timer

[timber tide]

oh, yeah can do that too inside of enemy ;p

[tribal axle]

yeah i think im going to do just that

can i do that in a movement script or should i create a new one for an enemy?

[rich adder]

if enemy has no script make one, or do 1 loop thru all spawned ones

either works

many update loops but surely position check shouldn't be too much overhead

[timber tide]

You can make a single enemy class with AI/movement combined if that's workable for you.

[tribal axle]

thank you guys!

ill be back soon

[timber tide]

I would just keep a counter and decrement for each spawn/despawn instead of checking references directly.

would then require the enemy to have some bidirectional reference back to the manager though

[rich adder]

yeah im mixed in a few projects i have an enemy handler that deals with all the setting of targets and what not , and some other projects each enemy deals with their own logics and target finding

read that many individual Update loops can cause unecessary overhead

haven't profiled fully yet n be able to tell much diff

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I have a problem. I want to play my background music of my main menu scene continuously where I do but not to multiple scenes only when moving and loading one single scene to play it continuously how to do that?

[rich adder]

use DDOL

[sage mirage]

Yeah ddol is for playing it continuously I want to make it for a specific scene for a single one

[rich adder]

ohh i misread that sry

[sage mirage]

I made a script DontDestroyOnLoad() and there I have it

[rich adder]

so you want to check if you switched to specific scene?

nd play certain track?

[wintry quarry]

you still want DDOL, just destroy it if you go to any other scene besides the one you mean

[sage mirage]

So to destroy it I just have to call Destroy() and use the background music so the object of that when I am loading the other scene that i dont want it to be played?

For example, I am pressing play button to load main game scene and for that method where I am loading that scene to make that DestroyOnLoad and to destroy that game object that my background music of main menu is attached to?

Here I have DontDestroyOnLoad script:

{ 

    // We are playing main menu music continuously from one scene to another!
    private void Awake()
    {
        GameObject[] musicObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("MainMenuBackgroundMusic");
        if (musicObject.Length > 1)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }

        else
        {
            DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
        }
    }
}```

here is where I am loading options scene and main game scene:

 ```public void LoadOptionsScene()
 {
     StartCoroutine(LoadOptionsSceneAfterDelay());
     Debug.Log("Options scene is being loaded!");
 }

 IEnumerator LoadOptionsSceneAfterDelay()
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(optionsButtonDelay);
     SceneManager.LoadScene("OptionsScene");
     Debug.Log("Options Button is pressed after a delay!");
 }


 public void LoadMainGameScene()
 {
     StartCoroutine(LoadMainGameAfterDelay());       
 }


 IEnumerator LoadMainGameAfterDelay()
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(playButtonDelay);
     SceneManager.LoadScene("MainScene");
     Debug.Log("Play Button is pressed after a delay!");
 }```

[rich adder]

im trying to understand , if its playing main menu music and u hop in game scene you want game scene music to play instead?

also why is this class called DontDestroyOnLoad lol

[sage mirage]

What I am doing in DontDestroyOnload script is that I am playing background music of my main menu scene when pressing options button and loading options scene but continously without starting at the beginning. For one reason, it does that for multiple scene for example when I am pressing play button I hear my main game music from background and also my main menu music that is not destroyed.

[sage mirage]

Is it a problem?

[rich adder]

shouldn't

but try not to name stuff after other unity names lol

[sage mirage]

Alright!

[rich adder]

did you check the DDOL scene how many audio objects u have ?

[sage mirage]

There is no ddol scene there is main menu scene where I have that script attached to my main menu background music game object

[rich adder]

when you put a gameobject in DDOL it creates a separate scene for it at runtime, all DDOL objects are there

[sage mirage]

There is only one music game object that I have on that main menu scene

[summer stump]

You are calling DDOL. So it is created

[sage mirage]

Yes so how to destroy that instance I have created on my main game scene why it is playing main menu music for every scene I load from my main menu scene for example when I press play button or options where I want it to happen there only on that single scene and not to other scenes like main game scene.

[rich adder]

because thats what DDOL does

why did you use it then lol

[summer stump]

Destroy() ?
Sorry I may have missed a bit. If you want to destroy it, destroy it. If you don't want it to persist, don't put it in DDOL

[sage mirage]

I want it only to play that music when transitioning between main menu scene and options scene. Not for every scene I load

[rich adder]

then do a scene name check

or something

destroy the whole object or stop whatever is playing

[sage mirage]

So, can I use somethign like SceneAsset like it says for that?

public SceneAsset nameofscene?

[rich adder]

there is an event on loaded scene

[sage mirage]

oh ok

[rich adder]

it gives you which scene you switched to

[sage mirage]

I can use that onloaded scene when I am interacting with my play button to load the main scene?

[rich adder]

I there is a method right ? use that on the DDOL

i dont use the built in method

i use something like
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-sceneLoaded.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-activeSceneChanged.html

your DontDestroyOnLoad class should be called AudioManager or something

very confusing name

[buoyant knot]

you probably shouldn’t call a class DontDestroyOnLoad

that would be extremely confusing

I’m just going to !code

[buoyant knot]

i just have this feeling that it was necessary

[reef anvil]

my intended behavior is for interaction to open a ui panel (PanelImage), which it does. when the ui panel is opened, i want mouselook and movement deactivated, which this code does.

now, what i want to happen is for the button that is on the ui panel to not only close the ui panel (which it does) but also to restore mouselook and movement. however, since "PanelImage.SetActive (true)" obviously isnt a bool... how would i check if the panel image is currently open?

if that makes any sense

so to oversimplify, what i want to add to my code is the ability to check if a game object is enabled or disabled, and create an if statement based on this

googling hasnt gotten me very far so im asking in here where i can give and receive more context :p

[wintry quarry]

there's PlanelImage.activeSelf and PanelImage.activeInHierarchy

they mean somewhat different things

[nimble sorrel]

would OnTriggerEnter still work if the trigger suddenly appears (such as through being inactive then suddenly active), rather than the object moving into the collider conventionally?

[reef anvil]

are they bools?

[wintry quarry]

of course

[rich adder]

lol apparently so

[wintry quarry]

btw instead of doing PlayerMovement.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>() every time you can simply make your field of type PlayerMovement in the first place.

Same for the MouseLook

kinda wasteful and silly to use a GameObject reference there

[buoyant knot]

my spidey sense was tingling

[reef anvil]

this is my first unity project and i will optimize down the road, right now i just need to get all my functionality working

[wintry quarry]

sure, it's just a tip

adds safety in the inspector too - since you can only drag the correct objects in

[reef anvil]

i luckily dont need much in the way of optimization since this is gonna be a very small "game"

[rich adder]

lol for some reason I read that like spider man 3 when eddie broc said it

[reef anvil]

(its not really a game, its a virtual gallery so its more of a walking sim)

[reef anvil]

this is exactly what i needed btw, if you knew how i was trying to do it youd laugh

a super janky workaround with a bunch of absurdly named structs

this is a lot better lmao

[wintry quarry]

it's often helpful to take a quick walk through the documentation to see if you can find something useful:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.html
(they're the first properties listed)

[reef anvil]

my plans still include a lot of silly unoptimized things for the ui but it shouldnt matter

[reef anvil]

i did look at that but it was kind of a wall for a newbie like me so it wasnt immediately obvious

and the ui panel now works!

[runic basalt]

Does anyone know why the Update function in my script is getting hit 1 time when I disable the script in the Start function? Does disabling not occur immediately?

[reef anvil]

okay yeah no i need a better way to do it than the gameobject idea @wintry quarry

[rich adder]

not in start no

Update can run before sometimes iirc

[reef anvil]

i moved the script and not only did it do this but i now cant drag the gameobjects back in

[wintry quarry]

wdym you "moved the script"?

[reef anvil]

into another folder

[wintry quarry]

Why?

Which folder?

[reef anvil]

it was just sitting in assets rather than the scripts folder

[wintry quarry]

ok - moving the script won't do anything

[wintry quarry]

are you just looking at the script defaults here? That's meaningless

look at your actual object in the scene

it won't have changed

[runic basalt]

I'm fairly certain update can't run before start, and if it can, it's not because the order of my debug statements shows the start one first and then the update. I'm just not sure why update is even being hit when I've disabled the script in the start function.

[reef anvil]

oops yeah youre right

[rich adder]

I mean Destroy/Disable

[reef anvil]

very new to this

[polar acorn]

Update on some objects can run before starts on other objects, depending on when they're activated. An object that is instantiated or activated during an Update loop won't run Start until the next frame

[reef anvil]

alright, i shall be back when i run into my next major roadblock

[runic basalt]

Right that makes sense. But Update can't run before the Start function in the same instance of a script.

[rich adder]

I think disable runs after the update frame

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

[runic basalt]

That's what I was worried about. I know there is Destroy and DestroyImmediate to handle a similar issue with Destroy calls, but I'm unaware of a way to handle this for Disable.

[rich adder]

What exactly are you trying to accomplish

DestroyImmediate should only be Unity editor

disabling a gameobject in start I didnt understand the end goal 😛

[runic basalt]

I'm simply trying to disable this script in Start under certain circumstances. It's for vr, if there is a vr headset connected it doesn't disable, if not, then it does get disabled. I'm sifting through all our vr stuff at work and it's a mess left by a coworker. Not sure how this issues hasn't presented itself previously as it seems pretty clear that Update will run 1 time based on the execution order.

[rich adder]

ohh did you try awake ?
also dont you have a defensive condition in update so it does error out if something is missing

eg if(thing == null) return;

[runic basalt]

I did not, I have just been debugging, haven't changed anything yet because this script is an absolute mess and the whole thing feels like a balancing Jenga tower ready to tip at any second. lol. Trying to make sure I fully understand what's going on before making any changes. And yea, you'd think we'd have a defensive condition but no, unfortunately we don't. lol. Might be the easiest quick fix for this though from the looks of it.

[rich adder]

yeah it will give enough time to hit the disabling without trying to use something is not supposed to be using

[runic basalt]

Good call, thanks!

[fast oracle]

    {
        foreach (SawSpawner SawSpawner in sawSpawners)
        {
            if (SawSpawner.isFinished)
            {
                continue;
            }
            return;

        }
        Debug.Log("win");
    }```

[runic basalt]

Is there a question to go along with this?

[fast oracle]

There was aout to be but I think I found an anwser

[runic basalt]

Ok, just a recommendation, make that function return a bool and then you can do return SawSpawner.isFinished. Much cleaner and more useful.

[wintry quarry]

They want to know if they're all finished

return sawSpawners.All(ss => ss.isFinished);```

[runic basalt]

Yea just realized that when I said that. lol.

[queen adder]

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

public class EndRedirect : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject EndState;

    public void Start()
    {
       EndState.SetActive(false);
    }

    public void vis()
    {
       EndState.SetActive(true);
    }
}

I'm just trying to activate an image part of my UI (a "you won" image popup essentially) and because it is set to inactive (I think) the image cannot be set active again and returns null. Any suggestions?

[wintry quarry]

because it is set to inactive (I think) the image cannot be set active again and returns null.
Nope doesn't work that way

Are you getting an error or something?

What's the issue?

[wintry quarry]

what is line 16

[queen adder]

EndState.SetActive(true);

[wintry quarry]

Ok so EndState is null - my guess is you're calling the vis function on a different instance of EndRedirect than the one you screenshotted

on that other instance, EndState is not assigned

Most likely since we don't also see an error in Start, you're calling it on a prefab (unless you hid it in the screenshot)

[queen adder]

I'm calling vis from two other scripts, one for the main controller and one for a counter for convenience.

[wintry quarry]

One or both of those scripts is referring to the wrong instance of EndRedirect

you probably have it pointing at a prefab or something

or just a different instance in the scene

[queen adder]

I was having issues with referring to this script at all without it being static, I likely flubbed somewhere in trying to get rid of those errors.

[wintry quarry]

yeah you are referencing a prefab

(likely)

[queen adder]

I'm literally just trying to pull a
if ( i > 3)
{
otherscript.function();
}

[wintry quarry]

doesn't matter what you're trying to do

you have the wrong otherscript reference

[queen adder]

Sorry i'm just trying to clarify for context.

How would I reference the script without pointing to a prefab?

[polar acorn]

Which object are you trying to reference

[queen adder]

A UI image element on my canvas.

[wintry quarry]

Drag the actual reference from the scene instead of the prefab

anyway i gtg

[polar acorn]

And are either of these objects prefabs that are spawned in after the game begins

[queen adder]

I am dragging from my hierarchy directly, not from a prefab folder.

It's just an image that I set to inactive immediately on the canvas and then try to reactivate when one of the end states is reached. It's always in the hierarchy, just inactive (I think that's what you meant).

[polar acorn]

Okay, so if both objects are in the scene together outside play mode just drag in the object into the inspector on the other script

[queen adder]

You mean on the script that originally calls EndRedirect, correct? Sorry if the questions are stupid, I am doing this for a class and have been taught exclusively on unity pathways with no teacher interaction.

[polar acorn]

On your EndRedirect script, there is a variable for EndState. It needs to have something in it

[queen adder]

Yes, it does.

[polar acorn]

In every EndRedirect script?

[queen adder]

EndRedirect is only a component of my Canvas and is referenced by my player script and a counter script, it's only attached in that one place. Should I be attaching it to the player object and count object as well?

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of it

[queen adder]

The canvas?

[polar acorn]

The EndRedirect component

[reef anvil]

as promised, i am back with my next roadblock

[queen adder]

EndRedirect is just a script component of the canvas, I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding.

[polar acorn]

Okay, so this one has EndState set. Share the full code of it

[reef anvil]

i got my first plaque object (Plaque 0, first image) to work and display text on my Plaque Text UI element. put in my next plaque object (Plaque 1, second image) expecting it to show that text when interacted with, but indeed, it shows the text from Plaque 0. why?

will provide more info if needed

[queen adder]

I have to take a break for a moment, I'll get back to give more info when I can.

[reef anvil]

nvm found the issue

issue wasnt with the code 🤦‍♀️

[buoyant knot]

it was a random checkbox, wasn’t it?

[reef anvil]

no, it was that, while i did write that second script, since i just duplicated the object, it still had the first script connected to it 😭

so until i find a better solution (which there certainly is), its a new, nearly identical script for each new plaque

very placeholder

in fact i am numbering the images and their associated plaques starting with 0 in case i need to put them in an array at some point so the numbering doesnt get confusing

[dense root]

What am I doing wrong with the logical operator here?

else if (japaneseEmulator.Substring(japaneseEmulator.Length - 2) == "zi" || "ji")
{
    japaneseEmulator = "じ";
}

It's saying I can't use or operator on a string?

[wintry quarry]

string suffix = japaneseEmulator.Substring(japaneseEmulator.Length - 2);
if (suffix == "zi" || suffix == "ji")```

[wintry quarry]

yeah because you wrote || "ji"

it doesn't know how to do true || "ji" for example

bool || string doesn't make sense

[dense root]

Oh I see

[dense root]

Thanks for this

[fast oracle]

Is there a way to do foreach but without the last item

[onyx blaze]

Hello, guys
I'm using a ScrollRect
My question is: How can I roll this rect to put my selected object in the screen when I control with arrows?

[buoyant knot]

yeah. you get the Enumerator and work with it

[wintry quarry]

for (int i = 0; i < sawList.Length - 1; i++)```

[fast oracle]

so I I can't do foreach

[polar acorn]

Not unless you want each

[fast oracle]

I want each minus the last one

For loop it is

[buoyant knot]

foreach just takes in an IEnumerable

[polar acorn]

So, not each then

[fast oracle]

True ig

thanks!

[timber tide]

#📲┃ui-ux probably the better place for this, but I'm assuming you're asking how to navigate scrollrect with arrow keys and in that case you usually you add that functionality in code to maneuver between the selected/active object

[fast oracle]

is there a way to get the last item in an index? in Python you can just do -1

[rich adder]

.Last()

[onyx blaze]

Oh, sorry
I'll go to the right channel \o

[fast oracle]

if its linq then it won't work for X# right?

[onyx blaze]

But that's the way that I want
Like hollow Knight item list, as example

[rich adder]

wdym ? just do sawList.Last()

you just need to add the namespace

I think there is a shortcut for last ^1 or something

forgot how rn

[rich adder]

yeah its from LINQ

but its overkill , I think you can do [^1]

[fast oracle]

ohhh you HAVE TO DO using System.Linq;

[wintry quarry]

no

don't use Last

use sawList[^1]

Last will iterate over the whole array (possibly)

[rich adder]

yeah myb about that suggestion I been in LINQ mode the past hours and forgot the quick array one lmao

[short hazel]

Always prefer ranges and indices over LINQ for array operations

arr[a..b], arr[^n], etc.

[short hazel]

Unity version too old :/

Can't use them

[rich adder]

dang

I guess just do sawList[sawList.length -1]

[wintry quarry]

yep pretty sure it compiles the same

[fast oracle]

that works

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.ScrollRect-normalizedPosition.html
On the scroll rect you have a range slider which is normalized, so what you need is some custom logic for how you want the slider to move for the focused element + need navigational logic using keyboard input if you want that too

[rich adder]

yeah its the same thing but new one is way better shorter

[onyx blaze]

Thank you
I'll try it

[rich adder]

iirc c# > 8

how old is your unity 2019? @fast oracle

oh nvm its not support in unity c# 8 ?

tf

[eternal needle]

Yea ^num does actually compile into the longer version if its int
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-8.0/ranges

When the argument is of the form ^expr2 and the type of expr2 is int, it will be translated to receiver.Length - expr2.
Otherwise, it will be translated as expr.GetOffset(receiver.Length).

[rich adder]

so I guess unity 2020 didn't support this but 2021 does? weird

[autumn briar]

Hi, how can I change an object's global rotation? I'm using transform.Rotate() but it deals with local rotation.

[rich adder]

there is overload for world change it to Space.World

[slender nymph]

it's not even an overload, it's just a default parameter that defaults to Space.Self
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html

[rich adder]

ohh ops lol

[autumn briar]

Thanks

[hearty gorge]

can i use custom classes with the serialization API & using ScriptableObjects to save data?

[timber tide]

You can serialize scriptableobject IDs to a custom class

as JSON

[hearty gorge]

ultimately I want to use a ScriptableObject to save data from a custom editor screen I'm writing - someone earlier pointed me towards using things like new SerializedObject(), serializedTileSet.FindProperty("blah"), serializedTileSet.ApplyModifiedProperties(); - I assume to ensure it saves properly - but my ScriptableObject has a property that is public List<Tile> tiles and I don't see how to read/write a new tile instance to that list through ( i assume ) InsertArrayElementAtIndex and GetArrayElementAtIndex

[hearty gorge]

oh so just implement the serialization manually for those classes

[reef anvil]

okay, im not gonna do the stupid thing i wanted to do for the plaque interaction scripts. instead, im gonna (try to) write a script that changes the text in my TMP text object depending on which object was used to activate the script?

because 55 plaques each with their own script that is 90% identical seems like a really stupid idea

question is, (how) would a check for which object was interacted with work..?

[hearty gorge]

What does .SetUnderlyingValue() do? Is this a bad idea?

tbh at this point it might just be easier if I store an entirely different state object as JSON as a string property on the ScriptableObject i'm using to store state?

[reef anvil]

would i be able to simply drop in a check for which game object was interacted with?

does such a check even exist if the same script is shared between different game objects?

[hearty gorge]

Why do you need a different script per plaque if all that is changing is the text? Make the text a public property and set it through the inspector rather than in code?

[reef anvil]

how would i go about doing that

[hearty gorge]

iirc on the base of your class just have a property like public plaqueText { get; set; }, then replace your plaqueText.text = "some text" with plaqueText.text = plaqueText

[visual delta]

How do I change scenes when my timer hits zero?

one sec

[hearty gorge]

then when you open the items inspector there will be a text box per item that uses your script that you can write the text into

[reef anvil]

public string plaqueText you mean?

[rich adder]

which timer

[hearty gorge]

yes sorry

[timber tide]

Sorry kind of busy, but I see you're trying to save from the editor which may not need JSON serialization. You're basically just making a new asset or updating something on the editor.

[hearty gorge]

yeah - i think I can just save the entire object as string to a property on my ScriptableObject though tbh

I originally was going to save as JSON anyway but read a ScriptableObject is the more "unity" way of doing it?

Hey everyone! I am having an issue with this project for class. I have "projectiles" that are supposed to knock a life off of the player. I have the script and everything set up but for some reason my projectiles just push my player and not knock a life off the player. I have debugging and all of the codes work but the life removal part never happens. Is there something I am missing like a checkbox or anything?

[visual delta]

I sent the code

[timber tide]

Eh, it's more of an editor privilege you get since you're serializing it to the editor, but during a build you it's a bit more tricky.

[rich adder]

do it correctly

[regal scaffold]

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

this is the code I have now for the projectiles

[visual delta]

I dont know how to do it correctly ig i just joined today :/

ill figure it out!

[regal scaffold]

and then this is for the player script https://hastebin.com/share/xefologowu.csharp

[rich adder]

are you new to reading as well
#💻┃code-beginner message

I shown you how

[reef anvil]

since i already had a TMP_Text called plaqueText, i made a string called plaqueTextString... doesnt show in the inspector though

[visual delta]

ok no need to be rude

i didnt see your message

[swift crag]

you've been linked to the bot message

it tells you how to share your code.

[reef anvil]

im new to unity and very rusty at programming (first time using c# as well), so i have no idea what the actual mechanics of getting something like this to show in the inspector would be.

found a solution, [TextArea(#,#)]

aaaand it works like a charm! thank you, @hearty gorge!

[swift crag]

note that the string field should always be able to show up in the inspector

the TextArea attribute is just used to give you more space in the inspector

[reef anvil]

for some reason it didnt before that and it does with it, so im not going to question the gods

[swift crag]

show me the line?

maybe it also makes Unity serialize the field if it wasn't otherwise going to be serialized

e.g.

[TextArea(5, 10)] string foo;

[reef anvil]

i used get, set before instead

[swift crag]

Ah, that's quite different

[reef anvil]

replaced it with serializefield, also didnt do it

textarea made it show up though

textarea is way neater for my particular usecase anyway

[swift crag]

i just had a look; [TextArea] does not cause the field to be serialized

only being public or being marked with [SerializeField] does that

[reef anvil]

its public

[swift crag]

Perhaps Unity didn't reload, or you had a compile error and it didn't actually update

[reef anvil]

its a public string, no idea why it didnt show up before

[regal scaffold]

also whenever each tower that shoots the projectile shoots 2 of them it seems I get a missing reference exception error. I cant figure out why which sucks and I am not sure how to keep them spawning every few seconds until the player collects all 20 items I've placed for this project

[swift crag]

well, look at the exception!

where is it coming from?

when you click on an error in the console, you'll see a whole stack trace in the bottom half of the console

you'll want to click on the topmost line that's part of your code

[regal scaffold]

It seems it is coming from the Tower code I made to shoot the projectiles. with my Instantiate line. is it cool if I post that line here since its only one or should I post a hastebin link?

[swift crag]

show just that line, yeah

Short blobs of code can just go in here directly

[regal scaffold]

Instantiate(projectilePrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

[swift crag]

And what exception are you getting?

oh right, missing reference

Okay, so projectilePrefab is probably null

I would make sure that you're referencing a prefab, and not just an instance of a prefab in the scene

Go to the inspector for the tower and click on the bullet reference

If it highlights something in the hierarchy, that's your problem

[regal scaffold]

Okay, I am new to unity should I drop the projectiles object I made into the assets folder to make sure it wont disappear I only have it in the hierarchy rn

[swift crag]

Correct.

Right now, you don't have a prefab at all

You just have an object in a scene.

When you drag something from the hierarchy into the Project window, you create a prefab from that object.

A prefab is an asset that can be referenced as a GameObject, or as any component on the prefab's root object

[swift crag]

you're just copying a bullet that already happened to be in the scene

once that bullet is destroyed, you can no longer make copies, because it's gone

[regal scaffold]

Holy crap that seemed to work!! Thats one of many issues down pat lol.

[swift crag]

So, make a prefab, then drag the prefab asset into the field

Just referencing the instance in the scene (even though it's now a prefab instance) wouldn't help

[regal scaffold]

I just cant tell why in the world my projectiles when it hits the player it just pushes them instead of knocking off a life

[swift crag]

sounds like your collision code isn't working right

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

I would start here

[regal scaffold]

I guess a good question now... I dont have any prefabs except projectiles I just made does player need to be a prefab too...

Projectile https://hastebin.com/share/oxuqugenuw.csharp and then this is for the player script https://hastebin.com/share/xefologowu.csharp

[swift crag]

Create prefabs when you need many copies of something

If you aren't spawning new copies of the player, you don't have to make the player a prefab

You might still want to do that if the player appears in several scenes, though.

(so, "many copies" could mean "one copy in each scene" 🙂 )

[regal scaffold]

Thankfully for this project I only need it on one scene lol. But that is extremely good to know

I realized that I am currently using OnTriggerEnter. Would that not be the same as collision overall? I just need it take away a life point if it touches the player.

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys, if I have a prefab that I am spawning a lot of it using instantiate, how do I delete all of those summoned using that prefab at the same time? Like if I trow a bomb that kill all at the same time and they need to be destroyed? Is there a way to do this?

[ivory bobcat]

Maintain a list of them and call destroy on every element

[solemn fractal]

😦 only that way ?

or Find method and destroy each with this tag?

[ivory bobcat]

Or have them under one parent and destroy the parent..

I would probably never use Find unless absolutely necessary or if performance isn't a factor

[polar acorn]

That's significantly worse than just keeping a running list

But if it's a bomb or something you'd probably want to check an area, right? So an OverlapSphereAll

[solemn fractal]

its not a bomb was just an example

its like when appear the boos everyone else dessapears

[jaunty estuary]

Hi, I'm currently trying to set up my development environment for making a classlib for a unity game on Linux in vscodium but I'm struggling a lot to understand what exactly I need.
Currently I am trying to use msbuild "project.csproj" to just compile my project.cs into a .dll to test if anything works at all.
I'm on arch and installed mono-msbuild and mono-tools not understanding which I actually need.
Excuse my lack of context and/or coherence rn, I've been at it for a bit and lost track of all the things I tried. If crucial information is missing, I'd be happy to provide it.

Can i please have help on how to add a scene change when the timer hits zero

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene.html

[visual delta]

Thank you

[sterile radish]

how would i set the value of a timer equal to a slider?

[polar acorn]

Depends on what you mean by "timer". You can get the value of a slider pretty easily but what does "setting the value of a timer" mean

[sterile radish]

sorry i meant cooldown*, currently i have a sort of timer system where whenever the timer meets the cooldown an object spawns and the timer is set back to zero. however, i want to cooldown to be interactable so i want to find a way to make a slider that changes the cooldown depending on its value

[nocturne violet]

Hi guys, i'm currently thinking on making a player controller using rigidbody. But the problem is I don't know any good ways to make the player move in a constant speed kinda like transform.translate(). Does anybody know any good methods?

I tried velocity, but it ends up to stick on walls when you walk in to them

[ivory bobcat]

If you aren't wanting to stick to walls, disable friction or any form of resistence that may alter your actual movement speed.

[nocturne violet]

oh

[ivory bobcat]

Be warn though that Rigidbody component simulates real physics and not necessarily game (fake) physics.

[nocturne violet]

i see

thank you

[hollow axle]

I'm trying to make a zoom in/out function in my script. I've watched a tutorial about it and I realize the camera in my game doesn't work properly unlike in the tutorial. Changing the value of Size should zoom in/out. However, in my case changing the value doesn't do jack shi. Why is that? Did I do something wrong from the start?

[slender nymph]

you are looking at canvas objects, likely on a screen space canvas. so naturally the orthographic size of your camera will not affect the size they appear. it will affect how you see world space objects though. try throwing some sprite renderers in the scene and you'll notice it is actually working

[hollow axle]

you're right! I still don't get how this works. So how should I make the zoom in/out function?

Should I add Spirit Renderer to the Ball objects?

[static cedar]

You're doing stuff on canvas from the looks of it.

You don't really move the camera to move the canvas, or zoom in or out.

The canvas stuff is meant for UI.

If those balls aren't meant for the ui, put it outside of the Canvas game object. And yes, use sprite renderer since Image is meant for ui too.

[solemn fractal]

hey guys to create a perfect 1d20 dice like in RPG.. i know that if I put like random.rage(1,21) if random is 10 do something its not the best way.. any ideas?

[eternal needle]

what do you mean its not the best way? this makes very little sense

[solemn fractal]

its the best way?

[eternal needle]

please reread your question above, and ask it in a way that makes sense

[solemn fractal]

oh. i dont know I understood hahaha.. here is another try:

What is the best way to create a 1d20 dice with code. And create an IF statment saying that IF the dice rolls lets say 10 I will do a critical damage. Is that the best way? or what is the best way to do it?

private int random = Random.Range(1, 21);
if (random == 10) {
  critical damage
} ```

is this a good way?

[viral hemlock]

Quick question how can I count up a variable

In seconds

[eternal needle]

What is wrong with the current way you've shown? All you are doing is generating a number and checking if the number is 10. If you want this number (10) to be changeable then use a variable instead

[summer stump]

Getting a random number seems like the best way to get a random number (which is what rolling a die is)...

Probably want to do randomNumber >= threshold though

[eternal needle]

add time.deltaTime or Time.unscaledDeltaTime every frame. depends on if you are changing the timescale ever and you want this in terms of in game time or real life time

[solemn fractal]

so if I want my player to deal 10% or 20% damage, i woud do randomNumber >= 10 would be 50% chance.. or >=5 would be what? 20% ?

[eternal needle]

think about it like this. you have a random roll of 1 to 20, you are checking if the outcome is 10 or greater. That means values 1 to 9 do not do a critical hit, values 10 to 20 do a critical hit. How many numbers are there in the range (1 to 9) and how many numbers are there in the range (10 to 20)

[summer stump]

1 - .2 = .8
20 × .8 = 16

[raven trench]

if someone could link me with something or help me out with this that'd be great, i have an audiosource on my object and im trying to play it when my if statement happens but i just cant find a good tutorial on how to actually set that part up

[swift crag]

i'm not sure what "that part" would be

actually triggering the audio source?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.Play.html

[raven trench]

yeah mb thats what i meant im bad at wordin it

[swift crag]

Play() will make it start playing the audio clip that's been assigned to it

There is also PlayOneShot

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayOneShot.html

You give it an AudioClip and the audio source plays it.

This is useful for sound effects.

[raven trench]

so the clip is whatever i put into the source and the source is automatically whatever the component is on right

[swift crag]

when I say "audio source", I mean the component named "Audio Source"

in this case, I've attached an audio source to an object, and assigned an audio clip named "swoosh 5" to it

[raven trench]

alr i see i see

[swift crag]

You can drag this component, or the object it's attached to, into an AudioSource field

public class MyComponent : MonoBehaviour {
  public AudioSource myAudioSource;

  public void DoSomething() {
    myAudioSource.Play();
  }
}

if I dragged that audio source into the myAudioSource field of this component, and then called DoSomething on it, the audio source would play that "swoosh 5" sound

[raven trench]

ok so if i wanted it to play on something as that thing got destroyed it would stop the audio aswell right?

[swift crag]

Yes. Destroying the audio source would stop the sound

[raven trench]

ok i think i might switch the source to be the particle system thats created cuz its supposed to be a destroy sound

and then make it run on start

[swift crag]

That'd be a good idea.

It would also be simpler

Alternatively, you can use this: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint.html

Note that this method isn't called on a specific AudioSource

It's a static method

It winds up creating an audio source, making it play the sound, and then destroying it

[raven trench]

i see i see

i think ima go with the particle system thing but ill keep that in mind when i do more audio stuff later

if its on start i dont need a script right?

[swift crag]

but I think just putting the audio source on the explosion prefab would be the best

right

you'd just have a particle system and an audio source on the same object

and both would be set to play automatically

You would need to do something to destroy the object eventually, though.

But you could just do something like

var explosionFX = Instantiate(explosionPrefab);
Destroy(explosionFX.gameObject, 5f);

this would destroy it after 5 seconds

[raven trench]

nah nah the way i have it set up

it instantiates the particle system when it gets destroyed, and the particle system auto destroys itself when its done playing so it would auto destroy the sound aswell

cuz the particles come from something shattering

[swift crag]

ah, I couldn't remember if that destroyed just the particle system

or if it destroyed the entire object

looks like it's the latter

[raven trench]

yeah ima test it out rq

alr it works 🙏

ty for the assistance

[swift crag]

np!

[queen adder]

Not exactly code related but didn't know where else... How do I make the camera not zoom in and out like in the screenshots?

I remember there was a solution to this but I can't seem to find it

[swift crag]

your game view is changing in size

perhaps pick a fixed aspect ratio

[abstract finch]

Is there a difference between transform.localRotation.eulerAngles; and transform.localeulerAngles?

Question, i have a script that is placed on every floor title, that plays a sound when a item hits it, only issue is that if a item with a rigidbody is already on the ground, then it will play the sound in the beginning. Would it be bad to start a 100 couroutines for each floor tile with the script on it, so that it doesnt play the sound at the very beginning. If so, how should i do this?

[gaunt ice]

Why you have to start 100 coroutines…

[chilly vigil]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin here is my C#

[twin bolt]

Each tile has the same script, and my scenes with marble floors contain lots of tiles.

[gaunt ice]

Is there any script/different on tag on the objects that can be placed on top of the tiles?
I mean filter the objects on top of the rigidbody

[twin bolt]

I'm basically checking to see if it is anything but the player, which means that any object with a rigidbody, and is not tagged as a player, will play a sound when hitting the ground.

[gaunt ice]

Separate the object by whether they are placed by player, via tag or layer or other ways then you wont start the coroutine because of the objects on top of tiles at very beginning

[summer stump]

This is empty

What is WorldCircle?

[vocal sail]

Asking a question: How to play a video trailer on game start when pressing a game start button and transfer to another scene when video ends?

Codes on Unity documentation is kinda out dated and isn't usable

[swift crag]

what documentation are you looking at..?

I'm not sure how it'd be "out dated"

[summer stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Video.VideoPlayer.html

Something like this? 👆

[vocal sail]

yes I was looking at that page but the use of var keyword failed

[swift crag]

well, I can assure you that var continues to exist

We cannot see your screen. Show us your code.

[vocal sail]

eyy not var is camera.AddComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();

[summer stump]

Show the actual code

[chilly vigil]

this the guya world circle c# https://hastebin.com/share/kavojolohu.csharp# who i followed in is making this phytotype

[swift crag]

your code does not match the example

Camera.AddComponent is attempting to find a static method on the Camera class called AddComponent

which doesn't exist

[vocal sail]

yes when pressed the gamestart button will trigger the GameStart() method

[swift crag]

that has nothing to do with what I said

[vocal sail]

and that is my point? the documentation used this term?

[swift crag]

no it does not

it does this:

        GameObject camera = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
        var videoPlayer = camera.AddComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();

it finds a game object named "Main Camera", then adds a component to it

this is completely different

I would suggest just doing this:

Camera.main.gameObject.AddComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();

this will attach the video player component to whatever object the main camera is attached to

[vocal sail]

Appreciated

Yes it works, thanks

[swift crag]

usually, names that start with a capital letter are a type (like the Camera class)

and names that start with a lowercase letter are a variable (like that camera variable that the example code made)

[summer stump]

So they just use the linerenderer and math to grow and shrink it. And I assume the zonewall is some prefab that is moved?

That is all still valid and normal code.
What do you want updated?

I guess you could do a Decal on the ground, but the ZoneWall would still be needed, because a decal is just a 2d projection on a surface

Camera Follow Script:

public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform target; // The target to follow (your character)
    public float smoothSpeed = 0.125f; // Adjust this for smoother movement

    private Vector3 offset; // Offset from the target

        // Calculate the desired position based on the offset

        // Smoothly move the camera to the desired position
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPosition, smoothSpeed);
    }
}```

[teal viper]

The issue is that you rotate the camera around itself

[tacit flame]

Thought i had it targeting the player

[teal viper]

It copies the rotation of the player, but rotates around itself.

Orbiting around an object is position change + rotation

Honestly, camera controls can get pretty complex. I'd just advice using cinemachine

[pulsar lodge]

Theres my 4 scripts

[tacit flame]

cinemachine?

[teal viper]

Yes. It's a package providing all kinds of camera controllers and stuff.

I had another look at your code. If you want to fix it, you'll need to calculate the offset every update from the target orientation.

[tacit flame]

        char4Name.text = character.Base.Name;
        char1HP.text = "HP "+  character.currentHP + "/" + character.MaxHealth;
        char2HP.text = "HP " + character.currentHP + "/" + character.MaxHealth;
        char3HP.text = "HP " + character.currentHP + "/" + character.MaxHealth;
        char4HP.text = "HP " + character.currentHP + "/" + character.MaxHealth;

        char3Speed.setSpeed((float)character.Speed);
        char4Speed.setSpeed((float)character.Speed);
    }

[sacred yoke]

It is in a late update but the animator keeps resetting all transformations done by rotate or prevents rotation

any other possible issues?

[pulsar lodge]

Well, i thought the character object was referenced individually with the the Battle System SetUpBattle method, when i'm calling playerUnit2.Setup() etc

[teal viper]

It will, yes. If you want to override it, you need to do it every frame.

[pulsar lodge]

and where im doing Player2HUD.SetData(Playerunit2.Character)

[sacred yoke]

Is that not what the lateupdate does updating every after the animator?

[sacred yoke]

I dont think it is working unless Im doing something worng

[teal viper]

It doesn't matter where and how you call this method. What matters is what you do within it.
Think about, what does it do? Try explaining shortly.

[glad pecan]

HI, anyone know what’s Object.op_Equality() in profiler? It take 4611.33ms to execute and caused huge lag spike

[teal viper]

Checks object equality probably. I think the issue is not with the call, but with how many times it's called.

[teal viper]

Yes. But you seem to have some condition which is probably not always true.

[glad pecan]

ReferenceEquals() this one?

[sacred yoke]

oh ok ty for the advice

[teal viper]

I don't know for sure. It seems to be an internal implementation, possibly equality operator override. Potentially on the C++ side too.

[umbral bough]

Hi, I wrote a simple Dune-like terrain generation.
It is based off of a closed sprite shape and it works semi-fine.
There is a huge issue tho.
I can't determine exactly when, but it seems that if a player is going too fast? or a camera is quite distant from the shape it just disappears for some time.
It also happened that the fill and collider were gone but outline was still there but that was only once.
I disabled c# tessellation since that seemed to cause the issue even more often but I can't figure out why it's happening rn.
Here's the code I wrote and thanks in advance!

[pulsar lodge]

Well, it "should" and by should i mean i want it to lol, run SetData method which passes the PlayerUnit2.Character Object, Thats creating the object from the Setup Method on the battle unit script, which should pass data from _base pulling from the CharacterBase script which is where the character is set up here. (screenshot)

Clearly i've messed something up along the route.

[umbral bough]

I am assuming that the picture of the inspector could be useful so here:

[teal viper]

Just try reading these 4 lines and explain what they do:

char1Name.text = character.Base.Name;
        char2Name.text = character.Base.Name;
        char3Name.text = character.Base.Name;
        char4Name.text = character.Base.Name;

[glad pecan]

Hmm… i am completely lost here. I need to track it down ):

What would you look for in this case?

[teal viper]

My guess is that you're doing something extremely horrifying in the scene. Specifically with ui.

[glad pecan]

Yeah it comes from the UI. This is not my code so I am quite lost..

[pulsar lodge]

I mean, i get that its passing the same object's name into each of the text fields. Do you think this would be fixed by making my Character object a list and store them, that way i can reference Character[0].base.Name?

[teal viper]

It doesn't have to be code. It could be the setup in the scene.

[glad pecan]

I see. Appreciate your help!

[teal viper]

Ok, so you understand what the problem is. The solution would be not to assign the same character to every ui element. Only to those that correspond to it's index.

[teal viper]

If you need proper help, maybe share some of you setup details.

[umbral bough]

bump

[teal viper]

Maybe share a video of the issue too

[umbral bough]

it happens towards the end of the vid, you can skip if you want:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlWAhIt8Wns

[sacred yoke]

Here is a small video of the problem and a picture of the currnet script. There is no code beyond the comments to note, and this still doesnt work. Is there any other things that could be causing a problem? The video showccases the attempt to rotate the hip and the small jiggle it does when I press D and A

[ivory bobcat]

Nothing happens in the video. Are you not the owner?

[sacred yoke]

watch the footage very closely the foot is jiggling

I believe the animator is constantly resetting the transformation

[ivory bobcat]

The feet wiggled a bit. Is that what you're trying to rotate?

[summer stump]

What object is this script actually on?

And ARE you animating the transform?

[sacred yoke]

It's on the very root of the model

and I dont think I have an animation attached to the transform. It's just the .rotate function

[languid spire]

you should not be using the transform to rotate. Use rigidbody.MoveRotation

[umbral bough]

bump

[sacred yoke]

Does this seem about right?

[eternal needle]

what is previousMovementInput? at first glance, this looks you'll get a value that fluctuates due to Time.deltaTime instead of continually rotating along the x axis

[sacred yoke]

It comes from the input readed from the input action component provided by Unity.

[umbral bough]

anyone?

[eternal needle]

share !code in the format described under. Also this still doesnt really tell me what previousMovementInput is. Like what range of values do you get? Your rotation code doesnt seem to be using the previous rotation of the player and im not sure that this input is storing large enough values so that your xRotation could be 0 to 360. So what i said above might be true, that you get an object that'll fluctuate between some values due to Time.deltaTime

[craggy ledge]

Hello, i was converting a movement script with the built-in character controller from this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html , to a state machine from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsIiFsddGV4 . There are 2 things that i want to ask

1. When it transitions to the jump state, it immediately go back to idle state, does anyone know where the problem is and how to fix it? i think there is a split second it is still grounded so it goes back to idle state but i don't know how to fix it without changing the abstract class
2. There is a delay when i want to jump using the state machine version compared to the non-state machine version where it is all smooth, does anyone know what is happening?

the code is here https://gdl.space/desotukixa.m

thank you 🙏

[sacred yoke]

https://hatebin.com/alqeekcqkd Here is the code for the script, and an image of the input reader I used. I believe it gets a Vector2 everytime an arrow key is pressed.

[umbral bough]

please

[runic lotus]

hey guys i have some c# scripts that do certain actions (one for whiteboard so you can draw on it, one for marker so it can draw, etc..), how can i do this in visual scripting? is there a way I can call these same scripts in there ?

[upper igloo]

How do people write class-based state machines without enums?

[fossil drum]

#763499475641172029 can probably help you

[eternal needle]

A simple example is just declaring an abstract class that has an enter, update, and exit method. Then any class inheriting from this abstract class implements functionality. For example in a MoveState, you can pass in the transform, then on update (your own update, not monobehaviour's) you move the object.
The state machine would store which state is currently active and call update on it (whether you choose that to be every frame or whatever fixed duration). State machine would handle changing states, while calling the enter/exit method.

[upper igloo]

Would I need to pass the state machine as context into each state to change states? Or is there a way I could trigger a signal across some event bus to have it change state instead?

[eternal needle]

you wouldnt have to pass the state machine itself in, but i have seen implementations where this was done. As for your 2nd question, you can change the states however you like, but it'd still eventually be calling a method on the statemachine to say what the next state is

a state machine could be as simple as

public class StateMachine
{
    StateBase currentState;

    public void Initialize(StateBase state)
    {
        currentState = state;
        currentState.EnterState();
    }

    public void UpdateState()
    {
        currentState.UpdateState();
    }

    public void ChangeState(StateBase state)
    {
        currentState.ExitState();
        currentState = state;
        currentState.EnterState();
    }
}

[upper igloo]

Right, but how would each state tell the state machine to change states?

That's my issue idk where to go from here in implementation without passing the whole state machine through each state (which i don't want to do)

[eternal needle]

another separate class could be interacting with this. I mean this definitely could work if you do pass in the state machine itself but i feel it starts to get weird when states themselves handle transitions. If you had an IdleState, MoveState, and AttackState, all the states would have to know about each other. It gets weird if you have 2 enemies with different behaviour, lets say one goes idle -> move -> attack. Another doesnt move, it just goes from Idle -> Attack. Now you need to write some pretty awkward code in the IdleState rather than having an Enemy script that reuses the same Idle code

[teal viper]

I finally had some time to watch your video but it's still not entirely clear what's the issue is.
That being said, it seems like you're moving the mesh in space and very fast too. So what might be happening is a floating point error if the numbers(position) are getting too big.

[upper igloo]

how would you handle state transitions? the way I was thinking seems like gobbledegook at this point

[eternal needle]

what im doing is also probably gobbledegook, i need to make mine better because making enemies with an unknown amount of AttackStates is weird. The state machine i posted above is a simplifed version of what i use
Right now I have an Enemy script (should probably rename that), which is monobehaviour. On awake it creates the idle state, move state, attack state, and state machine. then initializes state machine to idle. if anything it can see is in range, itll move to them (with unity AI). If anything is in attack range itll swap to the attack state and try using the attack. If nothings in range then just be idle.

there are definitely more advanced implementations online, but I just keep mine simple for the time being

Ive seen this recommended as well https://github.com/Inspiaaa/UnityHFSM. If its not too overkill for your needs you could probably use it

[upper igloo]

for this one it seems it sets itself to a boolean (statecanexit) and a transition object with the next state set

so either way, all states will have some class know all other states

[umbral bough]

I am not really moving the mesh, I provided the script that I am using and it pretty much just generates new points for the sprite.
I should mentioned that I've tested it even further and it sometimes disappears very early on just randomly.
I literally can't figure out what exactly causes it :/

[eternal needle]

it lets you define transitions similar to the animator. Yea some class is going to have to know about all the possible states, but the states itself dont. the state machine knows what next states are valid. i considered using this but found it too intimidating for what I need at the moment lol

[upper igloo]

hmmmm i'm thinking maybe i could try using its transition object logic to sorta decouple things in my code. thanks for the suggestion!

[teal viper]

Well, something there is definitely moving. I guess it's the camera. And the points are generated at the positions of the camera + some offset. So at some point the floating point error is gonna break shit.

Try pausing and looking at the camera position when the issue occurs. What position does it have?

[umbral bough]

will do

[solemn fractal]

hey guys if in start method from a class I run a random.range(1, 10) I can get that value from another class right? because for me isnt working so far

even tho the number is being randomized in the first class first and after it i try to fetch that info but I get no value

[fossil drum]

Completely depends on your implementation

[ivory bobcat]

Show us your implementation.

[gaunt ice]

Are you trying to get the value in start or awake?

[solemn fractal]

tried both

[ivory bobcat]

Is it the correct reference?

[gaunt ice]

Initial the value in awake and get it in start

[solemn fractal]

I am working now but will try to post here a better explanation of how is the code in a moment

[solemn fractal]

hmm will try that

[hallow badger]

I just want start working out my idea in me head to a game. Now that is hard part how put think of head in to il. Where do you need to start if you new to this. Because i want to start like 100 things at the same time.

[solemn fractal]

you mean like that?

[fossil drum]

Just make a Trello board, add the 100 things to it, categorize them by Must/Could/Should/Would (Moscow or whatever else categorization system you want to use), and start with the things that need to be in your game.
That's my suggestion.

[hallow badger]

like a mind map?

[gaunt ice]

is the start and awake same script?

[solemn fractal]

yes

[gaunt ice]

then you can do all the stuffs in awake

[solemn fractal]

As I am intantiating the class that contains the random generator first and than using an if on the other class to check should work I cant understand.

will try all on awake

still doesnt work.. well I will try more later and see what I can get.. thank you for the help tho 😄

[gaunt ice]

use comparetag instead of ==

[solemn fractal]

I will, thank you. everyone say that. never had a prob with that.. but I will start using compare instead of ==

for sure must be better as everyone say that to me

hahahah

[gaunt ice]

== is error prone, but the comparetag will throw if you mis type the tag

[solemn fractal]

hmm ok ok got it.

[ivory bobcat]

Define doesn't work. Log the value.

Did the value change? Your critical mechanic that works with accessing the value might be what's faulty.

[solemn fractal]

de value is 0 on log

The critical mechanic work for the number change and color but on the enemy class where i check for the hit and double the damage doesnt work there the value of random is 0

[ivory bobcat]

Did you assign it zero again?

[solemn fractal]

yes, but after the bullet is deleted and all the checks are made.. it never goes into the if.. so its normal to be 0. So its arriving as a null and turning into 0.. must be the order of somethibng prob..

I am working now but will try later better, dont want to bother u guys more now because I can really test it further enough.. but will do it later and if the issue persist after some hours trying I will come here back. Thank you a lot for your time.-

[keen dew]

My guess is that you're referencing the prefab again

[ivory bobcat]

Why use _overhead when you can use other's critical random?

Call get component on other and use it's component instances' value instead of _overhead's value.

[solemn fractal]

I guess that might be the issue.

[solemn fractal]

I could do that but the random generator is not inside the other

no my bad wait

[ivory bobcat]

If you're wanting each bullet to have different random values, it should be..

[solemn fractal]

I will check, sorry for the confusion guys.. I gathered all the info and will test it during lunch time soon. thank youy a lot

[ivory bobcat]

You'd simply need to call get component to acquire the component script instance and access the public field

[solemn fractal]

I will try this way now, I have a small break.

like that gives me object reference not set as an istance of object

[gaunt ice]

you should call getcomponent on the argument passed into the onTriggerXXXX callback

[solemn fractal]

ahh ok.. its wierd sometimes something like that cs [SerializeField] private Bullet _bullet; and on inspector I drag the prefab and it appear a script icon.. sometimes I do the same and instead appears the prefab icon..

Bullet here just as example

[teal viper]

If you drag in a prefab, it would be a prefab, if you drag an object in the scene, it would be an object in the scene.🤷‍♂️

[ivory bobcat]

With runtime instances (not in the hierarchy in the Editor), you'll need to acquire their references after they're available

They become available after they're instantiated

And that's per instance you'll need to do this with

[solemn fractal]

I have 2 identical situations where I have cs [SerializeField] private Bullet _bullet; Bullet here just as example..that I drag prefabs on both scenarios and it gives me dif icons.. The most difficult thing so far after i dont know.. 3weeks in unity is to get all this reference stuff.. I always get problems because of that.

or I am just to dumb, that is more likely to be.

[ivory bobcat]

The reasonable and less insane solution.

[teal viper]

It depends on what(where from) you're dragging it in. Objects in the scene outside of play mode can have a prefab icon if they are linked to a prefab. They're are still objects in the scene though.

[ivory bobcat]

No collision, no need to ever call get component - Start will always fire but collision might not ever happen.

[solemn fractal]

done 2 tests.. and that is what I get and the one with script is the one I am using to get the random value

[teal viper]

Instead of paying attention to the icon, pay attention to what you're dragging and where.

[solemn fractal]

both cases here i dragged the prefab

[ivory bobcat]

And with referencing from the player, the instance will require you to have multiple variables if more than one bullet exists at any given moment.

[teal viper]

One is a gameObject, the other is a component 🤷‍♂️

[solemn fractal]

yeah but none works anyways. at least not for what I want.. I will need to think maybe other way to make that critical work.. this one is cracking my mind.. so hard sometimes to think on the logic to create simple stuff.. but as always I will get there . it will just take me more time.. today after work i will have my mind free and try again or try another logic and if I cant i post here again. thank you all

[teal viper]

Probably because both are on the prefab..? I don't know the whole context and what you mean by "not working", so🤷‍♂️

[ivory bobcat]

Likely neither of them are referring to the instantiated bullet and it's instance of the component/script.

The prefab doesn't call Awake or Start so the value acquired will likely be zero

[solemn fractal]

ok i managed to do it.. prob not a good way.. but sometimes i think about crazy stuff that go around and around.. at least I did it.. even tho prob it is done in a hiorrible way

when I spawn the number I get the component and I add the value of the random to a variable and use that variable to check

here

and worked

[ivory bobcat]

Above head is already a game object so you don't need to acquire it's game object from the gameObject property

[solemn fractal]

I am sure my code is a mess about everything and there are 1000 ways better to do it but I am a beginner.. at least I am managing to do stuff even being a horrible mess code

[solemn fractal]

hmm ok.. but for now I will leave as it is.. otherwise I will try other thing.. and stuff are not yet 100% grounded in my mind about references even tho i manage already to achieve a lot in my mini game after 3 weeks.. thank you all for the patience and help

[velvet herald]

How do I rotate an object but not at its center, but by using a specific pivot point? Does that have to be coded

Or is there a setting for it

[solemn fractal]

hahahahaha.... ok got it.. when I did a bootcamp 2 yeras ago.. they said to me.. there is no good prog there is prog that makes progs that work.. so he said that no matter how mess or bad .. ugly is the code if its working and with performance

Mornin' all,

Just curious if anyone knew how, or could point my in the right direction to get my little enemies to move in a 'hopping' motion please? (Image attached for clarity). Ideally not using a rigidbody

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming you were asking a code question - this is the beginner code channel

[ivory bobcat]

Looks like positive sine. Use the absolute value of sine?

[ruby python]

I'll have a look into it thanks.

[ivory bobcat]

y = abs(sin(x * rad))``` pseudo code

[ruby python]

Oh cool. Thank you 🙂

[tidal sundial]

Hey guys, i have this issue from morning and it would be amazing if someone could help. When I try to make second box collider on my object, I can’t see edit collider button, first one is working with no problem, no error in console or any script but I can’t reach the second edit collider button even if I delete or restart the box collider

[gaunt ice]

if you are in window system, you can use the prt sc key to screen shot

[teal viper]

You shouldn't really have several colliders on the same object anyway.

[verbal dome]

Is this a 2D thing? Because that is absolutely fine for 3D

[tidal sundial]

Why?

[teal viper]

It is fine, but not a great practice imho. Maybe only in case where you don't care about each individual collider.

[verbal dome]

Imo even worse practice is using extra gameobjects when it is not needed

But yes sometimes it is good to separate colliders if your code requires it

[teal viper]

I guess it's a preference thing. But then again, compound colliders are a thing for a reason.

[teal viper]

Well, for once, because they don't seem to let you edit the collider.🤷‍♂️

[tidal sundial]

But I was making some of my objects like this with no issue

[teal viper]

So you say that you could edit the colliders in other cases?

With 2 or more colliders on the object

[tidal sundial]

To be honest I m new, just trying to learn after work few months, and the guy I was watching in tutorial teached me like this at the beginning, I've been doing this ever since I watched it. Code in flow you probably know

[shadow cave]

Hey guys, I am modifying my gun script to deal damage to players. I need to reference the player object to get the health script in the Gun script. How do I do this?

[tidal sundial]

I can find and send video if u want

[teal viper]

Okay. Then no clue why that particular collider is like that.🤷‍♂️

[gaunt ice]

your gun directly references to the health script in player

eg```cs
[SerializeField]private ScriptName instance;

[tidal sundial]

🫤 Thanks anyway

[teal viper]

Might want to ask in #⚛️┃physics as it's not really a coding issue.

[tidal sundial]

Oh, okay, thanks 😊

[wintry quarry]

For a gun script typically you'd grab the reference from a Raycast or something

[tidal sundial]

Oh, okay it looks like it’s because I was using unity’s old version till 2 day ago and in the new version right know you are editing all of colliders with first button 😄

[gaunt ice]

he said the gun will damage the player (shooter?)
maybe i misunderstood he said players

[wispy wharf]

Hi Guys, why i can .text in my code ?

im making a slitch counter, and i want it to be visible

[keen dew]

Apparently the type of txtscore is object and not what it's supposed to be

[silk night]

Show us the definition of txtScore

[oblique gale]

why does naming your script "gameManager" changes your icon into this? unlike the other scripts

[wispy wharf]

@silk night

[swift crag]

I think that's just something built into unity.

[swift crag]

Your variable's type is object

it's also...internal for some reason

[silk night]

why is your txtscore an internal object?

[swift crag]

why did you write it like this?

[oblique gale]

what do you usually put in a "gameManager" anyways?

[swift crag]

compare this to your other variables

[wispy wharf]

i dont know

[swift crag]

Stuff that manages the game! 😉

[silk night]

you have written it 😄

[swift crag]

I put the really "high level" game state into it

for example, here's part of my Game Controller class

[silk night]

My gamemanager usually hold the references to managers that do other stuff, one "singleton" that you can access everything from

Unless im working in an ECS pattern like right now

[swift crag]

When you click "new game", you ask the game controller to load the default progression data, load the main game scene, additively load the starting area, and then spawn a player

The game controller is responsible for detecting switches in game state and notifying other objects about it

So when you switch from the Loading state to the Gameplay state, it tells the interface controller that it needs to start showing gameplay-related canvases

In this game, my GameController is a singleton that lives in DontDestroyOnLoad

[silk night]

Make it public TMP_Text txtscore;

[swift crag]

It is created when the game wakes up and lives until the game quits

also, check this out

using UnityEngine;

public abstract class PrefabSingleton<T> : MonoBehaviour where T : PrefabSingleton<T>
{
    private static T _instance;
    public static T Instance 
    {
        get
        {
            if (_instance == null)
            {
                _instance = Instantiate(Resources.Load<T>("PrefabSingletons/" + typeof(T).Name));
            }

            return _instance;
        }
    }
}

handy way to "bootstrap" your game

HIi , i was following one of the tutorials from youtube about player movement using cinemachine and character controller , after following it step by step i'm having trouble in player movement according to the camera , as you can see in the video when i'm pressing w to move player into camera direction it moves there successfully but when i change the camera angle to go backwards(against the edge of the plane) it still goes into forward direction(which here is the edge of plane) , pressing s key to go against edge works but the head of the player is still in the wrong direction , i don't know if it has to something with player direction or character controller or camera Here's the script attached to player public class ThirdPersonPlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public CharacterController controller;
public Transform cam;

public float speed = 6f;

public float turnSmoothTime = 0.1f;
float turnSmoothVelocity;
void Update()
{

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

    if(direction.magnitude>=0.1f)
    {
        float targetAngle=Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z)*Mathf.Rad2Deg+cam.eulerAngles.y;
        float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turnSmoothVelocity,turnSmoothTime);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);


        controller.Move(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime);

@silk night last help please, i fixed last error, but now.

[silk night]

you need to drag the text you want to change into the field in the inspector

[rich adder]

damm you still didn't solve this from yesterday? @wispy wharf

you outta go through some c# basics

[wispy wharf]

It worked, thank you very much

@rich adder There always have to be annoying people like you, I come from other languages, and @silk night is very willing to help everyone here, if you don't want to help, just try not to get in the way and not demotivate those who are starting out, ok? as the room already says, beginner.

[silk night]

No, he is right, he is not trying to demotivate you, he is trying to direct you to the right resources, the task you just asked help about was unity 101 that every first tutorial should teach you

[rich adder]

Mate I was trying to help you yesterday , Telling someone to go through the basic courses is not something you should take offense. Its a legitamate suggestion.
when code editor was telling you something isn't found or exist/ that is part of knowing the basics which is accessing other fields in other classes 🤷‍♂️ also understanding why the editor is telling you what its telling you

i was following this tutorial for making a tooltip (with slight modifications) and ever since i've changed my canvas resolution im having trouble to position the tooltip correctly.

i've set my canvas's reference resolution to 640x360 and for some reason the UI transform.position of the UI element i hover on is given in very small numbers (something like (8, 0.2) despite being towards the middle of the screen). when i convert that to screen coordinates i get coordinates to the scale of my screen's resolution which is 1920x1080. how can i correctly convert those coordinates to the canvas coordinates in order to show the tooltip correctly?

[swift crag]

Is your canvas set to "Screen Space - Camera" or "World"?

[rich adder]

Ah codemonkey vid

do you have to download his "Utilities" in this one too

[rich adder]

show you current code ?

also SS inspectors for yeah canvas and such

dude said write clean code, uses transform.find

using hierarchy names in code 👎

[rare rain]

1st image is canvas, second is object in UI heirarchy im testing on.

code for tooltip:

        public void ShowTooltip(string text, Vector3 position)
        {
            gameObject.SetActive(true);
            SetText(text);
            rectTransform.anchoredPosition = (position / canvasRectTransform.localScale.x) + new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
        }

position is the tranform.position i give from the object itself

[rich adder]

also is the camera propsective or orthographic ? not sure it matters on UI

but might

[rare rain]

orthographic

[oblique gale]

I'm trying to do an encapsulation for the game stats, but I'm getting this error. I don't understand what's the problem

[rich adder]

whatever you're trying to use on line 44 in Start() of timeManager is Null

so you can't use something that isn't there

[formal escarp]

Hey guys, anyone here knows how to make it so when i click on something (with my raycast) a sounds plays?

[rich adder]

well yeah , but what do you have so far and what you need help with.?

[oblique gale]

It's not null tho

[rich adder]

mate which one is line 44

you cut off the lines

none of these are the Start method

so its prob wrong script

[formal escarp]

I have a basic raycast script but it only works to kill objects with the tag "enemy"

i can send it here if you wanna check it out.

[rich adder]

ok so gameStat is null

[oblique gale]

how?

[rich adder]

show where you grab gameStat

oh wait its above

im blind

so does this script have GameManager script on the gameobject ?

[oblique gale]

yep

oh wait

[rare rain]

is it gameManager or GameManager?

[oblique gale]

I forgot to place an ADT XD

[formal escarp]

oop

[rich adder]

ADT?

btw try to avoid GetComponent and use Inspector serialization instead

[oblique gale]

how do you do that?

[rich adder]

you already did it [SerializeField]

just drag component in the inspector

there is almost never a need for GetComponent for init

[oblique gale]

can I also do that for- ohh..... ohhhh

[rich adder]

just causes hitches and headaches because you never know if its assigned or not by quick glance

[formal escarp]

@rich adder sorry for the ping bro, but this is the code i have for the raycast.

[oblique gale]

yeah just realized that XD man love you so much ahahahahhahah why didn't I thought of that

[rich adder]

im reading it

which part confuses you? where to add it or ?

[formal escarp]

Where to add it and how 💀

I never did a play on raycast.

[rich adder]

I mean you already doing other stuff in Raycast, playing sound is not that much different
depend where your sound source is from

[zealous bramble]

пон

[formal escarp]

My best guess would be in line 48? and maybe with an "if"?

[rich adder]

what kind of sound are you trying to play when you click something

[formal escarp]

Audio Source i think?

no wait. is that wrong?

[rich adder]

No I mean what FX you trying to play exactly

[formal escarp]

I apologize, i dont know what that means.

[rich adder]

like a shoot sound, a hit sound ?

[formal escarp]

oh

like a interact.

like, when you interact and the player says something.

[autumn tusk]

i dont understand why this cam function isnt working

[rich adder]

because cam is underlined red

[autumn tusk]

does cam not exist anymore in my version of unity?

[rich adder]

therefore it cannot find it

[oblique gale]

man my error is gone after removing the get component for gameStat

[autumn tusk]

i know

oh wait

nvm

[rich adder]

yeah you probably were overriding the inspector with a blank one

GetComponent looks for the script ON This script's object

if you don't specify where to look

[oblique gale]

ooooh so that's why

[rich adder]

can you send the code https://hatebin.com

tell me which line is interaction

if this is doing other things than interacting like shooting then you should make a separate script just for interact

[formal escarp]

oh. never seen this before.

[rich adder]

yes its posted here

[rich adder]

GameObject objetoTocado = GameObject.Find(hit.transform.name);

this is like wildly not needed

you already have hit.gameObject

no need for expensive .FInd

[formal escarp]

Really?

[rich adder]

yes really

hit returns all the information of the collider it hit

you're looking for same gameobject by name on the gameobject you hit

[formal escarp]

when i do delete the GameObject objetoTocado line the code breaks tho D:

[rich adder]

because you deleted objetoTocado then it cant use it

nvm you dont even use it anywher

[formal escarp]

it should end up looking like this right?

wait let me send it

[rich adder]

oh wait

[formal escarp]

💀

[rich adder]

(Enemigo)objetoTocado.GetComponent(typeof(Enemigo)); why lol

delete this , send link please

[formal escarp]

okay

[rich adder]

is annoying to scroll to a discord message just to read a line

[formal escarp]

https://hatebin.com/afslwcydmj

Like that?

[rich adder]

yes thx

[rich adder]

 if ((Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) && (hit.distance < 5))
            {
                if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Enemigo enemy))
                {
                    enemy.Recibirdaño();
                }
            }```

[formal escarp]

[rich adder]

you have a tag check and then you checkfor the component

[formal escarp]

That´s bad?

[rich adder]

all unecessary

yes

[formal escarp]

oh.

[rich adder]

if you already need to look for the component then check for that directly

the component is like the tag but better

Enemigo is a component

if you want that specifically then the tag is redundant

[formal escarp]

Game objects = Component?

[rich adder]

no

components = scripts

not all scripts = components

[formal escarp]

oh alright

[rich adder]

Enemigo is not a game object but a type

[formal escarp]

I think im getting it now

[rich adder]

in unity any monobehavior is a component

[formal escarp]

okay

[rich adder]

ok so now you see what you can do ? back to the Audio Problem

[swift crag]

Game objects have components.

[formal escarp]

maybe a void with collision enter?

[swift crag]

that's what you see in the inspector when you click on an object

[wintry quarry]

They're called "functions" or "methods", not "voids".

[rich adder]

is that how you interact with your thing? by collision?

[swift crag]

void is the return type of your method, which means it returns nothing

[formal escarp]

No. With raycast.

[swift crag]

int GivesAnInt() { return 3; }
float GivesAFloat() { return 1.5f; }
void GivesNothing() { }

[rich adder]

so why would you use OnCollisionEnterlol

[formal escarp]

but i could lower the range of the raycast.

wait so wait.

New Script for the sound play.

[rich adder]

yes distance check should be INSIDE the physics

[formal escarp]

that first right?

[rich adder]

depends, if you just want audio source on your player then just reference that and just do .PlayOneShot or w/e

it depends where you want the sound to come from

[formal escarp]

Lets say, the player walks to a counter and the raycast hit the counter.

and sound comes out from player.

because it says something.

[rich adder]

yes so audiosource should just be on your player

for now

ideally you'd have a sound manager object

[swift crag]

if the player is making the sound, then it sounds pretty reasonable for the audio source to be on the player

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] private AudioSource soundPlayer

ideally in separate script if you want to have SerializeField] private Audioclip interactSound

[formal escarp]

I have 2 sounds in my game, one being a static object which repeats the sound always, and a sound that is like footsteeps and is on the player.

[rich adder]

the more sounds you add the more fields you need

[formal escarp]

man my brain is going to melt when im done with this

[swift crag]

don't get ahead of yourself, though

start by just detecting when you want to play a sound

you can worry about playing it once that works

put Debug.Log("Time to play a sound!"); in your code and then make sure that, when you walk into an object, you see that get printed to the console

[rich adder]

btw change your raycast to have distance checks only for enemy if thats what its only for.
this way your raycast works further for other stuff

if ((Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)) )
            {
                if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Enemigo enemy) && hit.distance < 5) // dist check only care if its enemy
                {
                    enemy.Recibirdaño();
                }
            }```

[formal escarp]

man

my brain sure is going to melt 💀

im going to try and do allthat and come back in a few hours.

[rich adder]

raycast interaction isn't an easy topic

[formal escarp]

or minutes not sure how much it should take me.

[rich adder]

just start small like Fen suggested

dont change any code yet if it confuses you

[formal escarp]

IT DOES 😭

[rich adder]

well yeah might need refresh in the code department 😛

[formal escarp]

i failed already 2 unity exams by one point in college i wanna die.

[rich adder]

wish my college had unity

[modest dust]

You guys have unity exams?

[rich adder]

we had windows XP

[formal escarp]

Yes.

[modest dust]

I wish I had these too

[formal escarp]

wait b4 i go

then i make a new script to make it so it detects the hit im guessing and allat bc otherwise my code is going to be even more sloppy

and sloppy/messy code is no good.

[rich adder]

yeah in my school they taught us how to use Office.. Fun

[rich adder]

yes this is a wise decision

[formal escarp]

i have a theory that implies my college teacfher is an alcoholic.

but thats for another day.

[rich adder]

although you can make 1 raycast script that other scripts only receive event of a hit and then they process is their own way
