[sour terrace]

Is there a way to use integers as degrees instead of radians in Mathf.Sin?

[spiral narwhal]

I see, in that case I'll just use an overlay space, that's easier to change imo

Thanks for the help

[sour terrace]

For example if I have an int Angle = 90

I want to be able to calculate a Mathf.Sin(Angle) that equals to 1, and not to whatever the sine of 90 radians is

[young warren]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/convert-mathf-sin-radians-to-degrees/43269
maybe this?

[gaunt ice]

Mathf.deg2Rad

[short hazel]

There's two constants, Mathf.Deg2Rad and Mathf.Rad2Deg that can be used to convert one into another

Multiply angles with these to convert

[young warren]

and this

[sour terrace]

thanks, this seems to be what I'm looking for

hmm now it seems to work correctly, except for 180 degrees for some reason

the Mathf.Deg2Rad converts it correctly to 3.14159

but then it returns some weird value when I get the sine of that

-8.742278E-08

I have no idea how that even happens

[short hazel]

Very close to zero that number is

It's scientific notation

-0.0000000874 or something

[sour terrace]

yeah, eight decimal points

is it just a floating point error?

[short hazel]

Yeah

[sour terrace]

ah alright I'll just round it to zero then

[wintry quarry]

What weird value?

[verbal dome]

I read this in Yoda voice

[short hazel]

Yeah I started writing this, realized the sentence was going to be backwards, but finished it anyway

[topaz mortar]

Instantiate(blood, this.transform.position + bloodOffset, Quaternion.identity, this.transform);```
I'm instantiating a particle here
I want the particle to follow "this"
but I do not want it to rotate with it
Is there any way to lock the rotation?

[young warren]

I think try looking into the Parent constraint component

[topaz mortar]

any other/easier way?

[young warren]

Set the position in update instead of parenting

[wintry quarry]

Not sure how it could be easier than just attaching and configuring a simple component

[topaz mortar]

the object it's attached to is a prefab

anyway I figured it out, you can just set the simulation space to world instead of local

[verbal dome]

That doesnt make the particles follow you but it makes the emitter follow you

[topaz mortar]

yeah that's what I meant/wanted

[wintry quarry]

That's a totally different thing than you asked for though

[topaz mortar]

yeah I meant particle system instead of particle, my bad lol

the semantics get confusing sometimes

[nimble sorrel]

if the ghost (green) is moving towards the player (black), how would I have it go around the circle collider (which is currently a trigger, I might be able to convert it to a normal collider? though that'll require wrangling other aspects of the ghost's behavior) at a consistent speed. so far I've set up a system that when it enters, I push it directly out of the collider - though this results in heavily varied speeds as it moves around the circle. I'm halfway through setting up some rather convoluted equations using a cord of the circle with length calculated by the ghosts speed and heavy wrangling of the internal angles. but I feel like there's got to be a better way than this

typically the ghost's behavior is to move directly in the direction of the player (using movetowards)

how to build an android game

[gaunt ice]

open build settings switch to android

[solid verge]

cause i get so many errors

ok switching

what now?

[gaunt ice]

try to build it and wait

[topaz mortar]

look at the first error, google it, try to fix it
if after an hour you still can't figure it out, come back here and ask
repeat until it works

[novel shoal]

@summer stump i did the course

i did 23 out of 25

[thin blade]

Hi everyone I have a question. Do you know how I can get the X Y Z rotation of an object because when I use eulerAngles for the rotation 180,0,0 i get in console 0,180,180. Do you have a way to fix it ?

[keen dew]

There's nothing to fix. Those are the same rotation.

[nimble sorrel]

not too familiar with eulerAngles but would transform.rotation not work?

[keen dew]

that's a quaternion

[thin blade]

Yes i don't understand quaternion that why i don't use it

[nimble sorrel]

a lot of time with stuff you don't understand it's way better in the long run to just push through and learn it, rather than going against the flow by avoiding it. Quaternions are definitely an example of this.

[thin blade]

okay i gonna follow your advice

[nimble sorrel]

there are lots of resources online for quaternions, one that immediately comes to mind was a GDC talk from either last year or the year before that

[verbal dome]

You don't really need a deep understanding of quaternions at all

Just understand that they are rotations and learn to use the helper methods (AngleAxis, LookRotation, FromToRotation etc)

[nimble sorrel]

turns out the talk I was thinking of just has the slides available for free, rather than the full talk. but they can still be helpful
https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1027047/Math-In-Game-Development-Summit

[wintry quarry]

All you need to know is it's a type of variable that contains a rotation

It's really not needed to understand the underlying math

[thin blade]

thank you very much to all

[summer stump]

Nice! Do you feel like it cleared up any of your confusion?

[weary moss]

when visualstudio says a line of code is obsolete, does it means it's less efficient?

[wintry quarry]

No it literally just means someone put the [Obsolete] attribute on it

[weary moss]

what

[wintry quarry]

Developers usually do this to indicate there's a newer better thing you should be using instead

[weary moss]

like, enough people said its obsolete so the program thinks it is

[wintry quarry]

No

[weary moss]

oh alright

[wintry quarry]

The person who wrote the code you are calling

Code is not a democracy lol

[weary moss]

alright thanks

[verbal dome]

That's probably Image from a different namespace

[languid spire]

Compile error

[slender nymph]

wrong Image type. you should be using UnityEngine.UI.Image

[merry spade]

ok wait

yeah now it works

nice thank you

[novel shoal]

kinda

now i know classes, enums, and that stuff

[quick ruin]

Hi trying to get something to blink black and white.

why doesnt this work

[summer stump]

That all happens in one frame
Try a coroutine or a timer

[short hazel]

Yeah both if statements run here

[novel shoal]

but i'm still not sure if that's enough

[quick ruin]

Thanks

[novel shoal]

i'll still try games in 2d to make stuff easier

[summer stump]

That is definitely a good start.
Just knowing the breadth is a good start, now you know your options.

Is there anything that is specifically still confusing

[novel shoal]

no, i have understood basically everything (i think)

but still i feel like i am missing something

[summer stump]

Yeah, it will definitely feel that way for a while.
Come back with questions when you need.
Follow some small FULL tutorials to make different small games.
Work on your game to get experience.
It'll just take time.

[novel shoal]

ty man, i appreciate that

i'll take it slow though

i don't want to rush things and get to a burnout

[summer stump]

That's wise haha.

[novel shoal]

i'll try small things and slowly get to bigger ones

[novel shoal]

see ya :)

[supple zealot]

hey everyone, i am trying to set my coin so that when i collide with it, i increment an integer (score), yet when i collide with it, nothing happens

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Coin")
{
// Coin collected
totalCoinsCollected++;
Debug.Log("Coin collected! Total coins: " + totalCoinsCollected);

        // Destroy the coin
        Destroy(other.gameObject);
    }
}

ive set it on my gamemanager, and set the tag of my coin to , well ,coin

[short hazel]

Do you get the debug log?

[gaunt ice]

first dont use == for compare tag, use .ComapreTag()
second log if the method is fired

is one of them has rigidbody?

[supple zealot]

i dont see it logged at all, thats the weird part

and yes, i do have a rigidbody on player

[short hazel]

Try with the log outside the if statement to see if the method is getting called at all

[supple zealot]

gotcha, will do that rn

it is not fired at all , and the body is colliding (dont ask how i messed up the character lol)

[short hazel]

Follow the troubleshooting guide here

Apply the fixes if needed, and if you still don't get an execution then hit "I am still not getting a message" at the end of the page

[supple zealot]

will do

[quick ruin]

My UnityEngine.UI isnt recognized? Edit: fixed by reloading with unity? idk what happened

[slender nymph]

does the error only appear in visual studio? if yes, regenerate project files and restart it

[queen adder]

I have come to brag using c-sharp 11 on unity 2017

[slender nymph]

I mean, you'd only get access to the syntax sugar stuff from newer versions of c#. you're still limited to the features of the .net runtim you are targeting in the unity project

[queen adder]

it does compile

it's patched by zombie

[slender nymph]

and are you attempting to use something that isn't just syntax sugar? if not, i never said it wouldn't compile

[rich adder]

all those lines are game objects ? 😬

[queen adder]

just heirarchy EditorOnly separators

[queen adder]

does this count as simply not just syntactic sugar?

lemme try switch expression thingy

is that one counted too?

[novel shoal]

i cannot see the circle even though i set its color as white

[slender nymph]

both are syntax sugar

[queen adder]

any example of what's not?

[novel shoal]

ps: the color is white even itself, i put this script to fix it but it didn't work

[rich adder]

its probably not infront of the camera

[novel shoal]

it's in the middle of the screen

[rich adder]

that doesn't mean its infront

[novel shoal]

i don't get it

it's a 2 dimension project

[rich adder]

unity is a 3D engine

there is still Z space

[queen adder]

click the ball, send the screenshot

[novel shoal]

the object has no z value

[rich adder]

what about the camera

oh wait this is scene view

forget what i said

[slender nymph]

i bet you can't index an array using the index from end operator ^

[queen adder]

how to write that, idk ^ operator yet

[slender nymph]

myArray[^1] gets the last element of an array

[novel shoal]

how do i solve it then?

[eager elm]

Is it behind your background?

[queen adder]

oh does ...somethingHere counts as non-syntactic?

[novel shoal]

i think so

[queen adder]

i remember seeing it a lot before

[novel shoal]

i tried to remove it and it showed a gray object

[rich adder]

is your background an image?

[eager elm]

Use Sorting Layer / Order in Layer to fix it then

[novel shoal]

yep

[novel shoal]

okk

[rich adder]

use Z position as well works sorting

[novel shoal]

ty

[slender nymph]

that looks like it is supposed to be the range operator so if that's what it is then yeah

[short hazel]

Try static abstract members in interfaces, that's not syntax sugar AFAIK

[queen adder]

this does not work ig

[queen adder]

yea range operator is what i remember it's called

[slender nymph]

yeah. so you only get the syntax sugar so it was mostly pointless to force c# 11 to work in your version 🤷‍♂️

[short hazel]

Yeah it does not bring the new types in

[queen adder]

new types like?

[short hazel]

System.Index

[formal escarp]

hey guys i have a question. I have a simple menu with the button "play" on it. when you click it you go to the "level 1" scene. is there any way i can re-use the code to make it so when you click an specific spot of the level 1 you go to "level 2"? i can send my code here.

[rich adder]

sure

[formal escarp]

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

public class Menu : MonoBehaviour
{

    public void Jugar()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene("SampleScene");
    }

    public void Salir()
    {
        Application.Quit();   
    }
}

[polar acorn]

Make a public string for the name of the scene you want to load and set that in the inspector

[rich adder]

just increase index of level

[formal escarp]

I should, make a new script or modify this one?

[slender nymph]

modify that one

[formal escarp]

alrighty

now i just gotta figure out how to do that, but i think i know how.

[queen adder]

anyway, me is more than happy having pattern matching alone, no more weird pattern like this

actually lemme try if i can do a tuple

[slender nymph]

fun fact but the pattern on the bottom basically just compiles to what you have on the top

[queen adder]

tuple should work at least, though idk how to write one

[slender nymph]

considering Tuples were added in .net framework 4.0 and 2017 uses a slightly more recent version then yeah, they work. and they even worked before

[queen adder]

did i use it wrong then?

[short hazel]

I wonder if records are supported by your thing, they're good for prototyping and get expanded into classes/structs anyway

record Sample();
record struct Point2D(int X, int Y);

[rich adder]

sorry

var tuple = (32, 5);

I fdup

forgot how to do named tuples xD
i just use structs 😦

[slender nymph]

yeah that syntax that was provided was a ValueTuple not a Tuple (slight difference). that wasn't added to .net until .net 4.7 which i'm not sure if unity 2017 uses 🤷‍♂️

[queen adder]

record does work

unity17 is 4.6 .net

[novel shoal]

how to make the ball moge in a random direction (making pong)?

[queen adder]

if you want physics, use addforce

[supple zealot]

Character Controller was in front of my mesh collider, sooooo it never did collide

im trully a genius

[rich adder]

add slight degrees offset to Vector3.reflect maybe

or you mean the beginning ball

[novel shoal]

that

[slender nymph]

i'm surprised this works. i was under the impression that records required the init language feature to work. though i guess it does just compile into a class or struct

[novel shoal]

do i have to use a range or something?

[rich adder]

 var direction = Vector2.right;
        if(Random.value <= 0.5f)
        {
            direction = Vector2.left;
        }

        //apply direction```

[novel shoal]

vector2?

[rich adder]

same thing

[queen adder]

is there a non-syntactic feature latest unity c#(9) can do that i c#6 couldnt?

[novel shoal]

okk thx

[novel shoal]

thx

[queen adder]

oh, random direction, isnt it better to use RandomInsideunitcircle for extra added flavor?

[novel shoal]

i have no idea

you are the experts lol

[queen adder]

not even an expert, but it will make your ball like go at an unexpected direction at start

Random.insideUnitCircle is a vect2

[novel shoal]

yeah i wanted to ask that too but i didn’t want to bother you too much

[slender nymph]

literally any feature that requires a type introduced in a more recent .net version is something you cannot do. like the range and hat operators

[supple zealot]

how can i reference one script inside another?

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[supple zealot]

ty

[queen adder]

zombie's patch literally grabbed latest roslyn files into unity though

[merry spade]

    public void TimerStart()
    {
        currTime = 1;
        reviveTimer.fillAmount = currTime;
        while(true)
        {
            print(currTime);
            currTime -= Time.deltaTime * 0.01f;
            reviveTimer.fillAmount = currTime;
            if(currTime <= 0f)
            {
                cancelButton.onClick.Invoke();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

why is the timer instant at 0?

[slender nymph]

that doesn't upgrade unity's .net version though

[slender nymph]

loops run to completion. since this is neither async with an await nor a coroutine with a yield there is nothing preventing this loop from completing in a single frame

if this is being called from Update or something then just remove the loop entirely

[short hazel]

You're one of the lucky ones that make a loop that will actually exit all the time

[queen adder]

hehe

[slender nymph]

changing that will also not update unity's .net version

[merry spade]

no its called from an onTriggerEnter

[slender nymph]

then read my first message

[merry spade]

what is a yield Xd

i will look it up in the internet thank you

[queen adder]

a very short word that is very deep topic in c#

[novel shoal]

why is my WHITE ball gray?

[novel shoal]

i think i'll just draw it

[queen adder]

it looks better tbh

[rich adder]

why does it have a mesh material on it instead of a sprite

also this isn't a code question

[spiral narwhal]

_childRectTransform.SetParent(transform);
_childRectTransform.position = Vector2.zero;

Is the first line not completed within one frame by any chance? Because it still positions the element at vector zero of the old parent, not the new one

This is in `public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData eventData)´

[rich adder]

do localPosition

instead

oh wait no

anchoredPosition

_childRectTransform.anchoredPosition = Vector2.zero;

[spiral narwhal]

Ah yes, cheers

hey, does someone know why fog doesnt correctly works?

it just makes an strange halo on the road

[pulsar lodge]

https://gdl.space/tuzifeyove.cpp Can anyone help me figure out why line 26 is not working in my code? Player 1-4 are not being added to my list, should i be using a different Method other than add? or a different parameter other than FindObjectWithGameTag

[short hazel]

Not a code question => #archived-lighting

[slender nymph]

FindGameObjectWithTag only returns the first object it finds with that tag. But you should use whatever spawns those to add them to the list when they are spawned in the scene

[pulsar lodge]

it isnt adding any, not even the first object

[slender nymph]

then either that code is not running or there are no objects with that tag in the scene at the time the method runs

[pulsar lodge]

i looked it up a recommendation i saw was to use AddRange(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Hero")); but when i do that, i get this compiler error is VS :
Error CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<UnityEngine.GameObject>' Assembly-CSharp C:\Users\nanak\My project\Assets\Scripts\Battle\BattleManager.cs 26 Active

[eager elm]

AddRange() wants a group of objects, FindGameObject() returns only 1 object. Either use Add() or FindGameObjects(), with an S at the end

@pulsar lodge

[true pasture]

would i want to run code capping my velocity in fixedupdate or update? It should be fixedupdate I think, just wanted to double check

[rich adder]

why do you even need AddRange 🤔

[summer stump]

Fixed

[pulsar lodge]

Adding these objects to a list to determine attack order (turn based JRPG)

[rich adder]

yeah but you don't need add range but whatevs lol

[pulsar lodge]

and so that i can control their character states (dead, waiting, performing action, etc)

[rich adder]

also GameObject type is as useful as watching grass grow

you should use something more specific

public List<Players> PlayersInBattle = new ();

🤷‍♂️

skip uneeded GetComponent()

[wise light]

Hello everyone, I'm super new to coding and Unity. How can I save the y-position of my gameObject in a new float var? I'm supposed to use that later for moving my character forwards/backwards. It's probably very easy to solve but everything online just confuses me, too much info for a noob

[eager elm]

float myFloat = gameObject.transform.position.y;

[summer stump]

Can drop the gameObject part btw
transform directly accessible from any monobehaviour
float myFloat = transform.position.y;

[eager elm]

that variable is only usable in the scope, the two brackets {} where it is declared, so you might want to declare it inside your class instead your method:

public class YourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    float myFloat;

    void Start()
    {
        myFloat = transform.position.y;
    }
}```

[summer stump]

Note that what Gruhlum said is saving the VALUE, which is exactly what you want.
It won't change even as the transform changes position.
If you saved the transform of something, you are capturing a REFERENCE to the component, and whenever you get the y value of it, it will be the currect y position, and thus not really what you want

As you learn, telling the difference between a value and reference can be important, so I just wanted to put that out there.
Best of luck!

[wise light]

Thank you! When I try the solutions it always says "error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'Component.transform'"

I think I tried what you shared already but something is lacking here xD

[nimble blaze]

hello guys could someone help me out if i use colliders my character cant go through them but i want it to trigger example a door

thing is when i click on the trigger thing it just goes straight down

[buoyant knot]

it sounds like you wrote float y = transform.position.y in the body of the class

which defines a float for the class (y), and tries to immediately assign a value to it (transform.position.y) as the class comes into existence

but you can’t do that because transform.position.y is not a compile time constant

[rich adder]

why does triggers have a rigidbody then
door triggers should just be trigger colliders. No rigidbody needed

[buoyant knot]

like, you can only do that second part if the machine knows exactly what to assign before any code is run

[buoyant knot]

one gameobject needs a rigidbody to receive the collision/trigfer message

[nimble blaze]

well like coins there are supposed to be floating mid air but i want them to trigger them another thing is door im turning off the sprite renderer when its gets trigered

[rich adder]

ideally the object that goes in the triggers tho

[buoyant knot]

coins can be triggers.

the door can be solid

[nimble blaze]

but they are supposed to float in the air when i make it a trigger they fall down

[rich adder]

because u have a rigidbody..

remove it

[nimble blaze]

the coins?

[buoyant knot]

dynamic rigidbodies have forces applied to them

[rich adder]

sounds like they have rigidbody with gravity on they will fall

[rich adder]

yes it should only be on player

[buoyant knot]

i would give it a static rigidbody

[wise light]

Ah makes sense. I placed it somewhere else but my gameObject still won't move, I guess this would result in too many questions, thanks for helping people

[buoyant knot]

rigidbody lets it receive messages about collisions. But static means physics system needs not worry about moving it

sure

[rich adder]

if player has rigidbody already no point in rigidbody on coins 🤷‍♂️

[summer stump]

You should show the code you have now

[buoyant knot]

depends on how you want to put it

if you want coins to detect player, or player detect coins

[summer stump]

As nav said, the rigidbody only needs to be on one object, it will send the message to both colliders in the collision

And yeah, whichever one makes sense will work

[rich adder]

have a static rigidbody on a coin doesn't make sense to me and probably a waste of rigidbody

[buoyant knot]

both are valid

[rich adder]

what are we looking at?

[nimble blaze]

like i have the trigger on

that is the result

the key went straight down ignoring other collisions lmao

[rich adder]

what is that script doing

[buoyant knot]

I i thought static RBs are supposed to be essentially free?

at least physics2D basically assumes colliders with no rbs have a static rb

[nimble blaze]

https://hatebin.com/rfhejyizct

basically its suppose to make it hover on the air

[rich adder]

not sure, are they though?
if they are being included in the physics system for something besides a collider. Idk just seems like it would be more fit for maybe a static collider map with composite or something

[buoyant knot]

you misspelled amplitude

[rich adder]

doubt any of this was helping not fall in ground

you're forcing positions

= teleport

[buoyant knot]

know that if you want the collider to move, you need to move a rigidbody

[nimble blaze]

but im already using the first establish positions it had before hand

ok let me remove the script and let me see

[buoyant knot]

and moving the transform will be kind of shittily trying to move the collider

[rich adder]

dont use physics just to animate a coin /key lmao

use something like DoTween

and just reise the key and fix the min/max no reason a collider being trigger should prevent what u want

[nimble blaze]

hahah ok

[buoyant knot]

i would probably split it into 2 gameobjects, and move the transform of just one with the sprite.

[wise light]

I need to move the object by using "addforce()" and take the y position * transform.forward, maybe that's what I mess up? I'm lost

[buoyant knot]

if you move the transform while it has a collider, you’ll get janky collision

[rich adder]

^ also valid way

[buoyant knot]

you want to move just the object with a spriterenderer

then you won’t fuck with collision/physics at all

[rich adder]

although only animating the sprite object will cause bad trigger /collision for pickup

[summer stump]

Why do you want the yPosition for forward movement?
You just want to use that movementVector you create in Update

[buoyant knot]

mario does it like that. the hitbox of a coin is static, while the coin moves

[wise light]

I need to do it that way, I learned it in another way in the lecture but I think he wants to test or annoy us not sure:D

[queen adder]

are there extra performance cost for using string overloads of GetKeys than the Keycode overloads?

[buoyant knot]

if you do want the hitbox to move as it hovers, you absolutely need a kinematic rigidbody on that collider

[nimble apex]

in 2D , forward is positive X
in 3D, forward is positive Z
why?

[summer stump]

That doesn't really make sense as a reason.
A lecturer said you need to do it with the y position?
Are you sure they weren't talking about the second addforce where you handle jumping?
(Even that doesn't really make sense honestly)

AddForce doesn't need to know the current position explicitly. It already knows the rigidbody position. It just needs the direction and magnitude (a vector)

[nimble blaze]

what is the difference between kinectic and static?

[nimble apex]

it just doesnt make sense

[buoyant knot]

otherwise you’re just teleporting the collider, and it’s coordinates won’t be synced properly

[rich adder]

kinematic can only be moved with code, static doesnt move at all

[rich adder]

Eh guess it depends, its farily ok in 3D to only animate transforms with collider

[slender nymph]

a static rigidbody is effectively the same as no rigidbody

[nimble apex]

unless , the "forward" in ur game is like raiden

[rich adder]

never had a problem hitbox being that inaccurate

[nimble apex]

good old arcade game lol

[buoyant knot]

static = never moves, kinematic = you tell it to go from point A to point B (ignoring all force). dynamic = you actually sovle forces and velocity vs positions of everything else

[rich adder]

usually the animation/translation is too low to notice an impact

[buoyant knot]

probably, but he should learn right, instead of learning it the wrong way, then going on to make the whole game on the premise of moving transforms

[rich adder]

I couldnt imagine having a bunch of kinematic coins animated just to get a slight chance of precision

[buoyant knot]

kinematic RBs aren’t really that expensive tbh

[rich adder]

If you're doing a moving platform then yeah it makes sense

animating props / coins ?

[wise light]

Yeah my object was moving before but not in the way I need to do it now, I guess it doesn't make sense maybe I misunderstand, but it says (translated from German)
"Store the Y (forward/backward) component of this vector in a Member variable of type Float so you can access it from elsewhere.
Pass this float value in FixedUpdate() to the AddForce function Rigidbody further to make the car move forward and backward. About the direction to specify the acceleration, multiply the value by the transform.forward of the rigid body. Specify a suitable ForceMode"

[nimble apex]

i animate coins only for giving it much more awesome effects

[nimble blaze]

ah my brain well im using velocty to move around but i heard that you should avoid using them because they consume alot of resources and whenever you can use trasform/translate

[nimble apex]

or just simply moving it around to annoy players lol

[rich adder]

everything consumes resources , need velocity for rigidbody but moving kinematic MovePosition, is fine too. just dont use translate for collisions

you shouldn't worry about that stuff rn

just make it work correct

[nimble apex]

but thats moving, not animating tho

[buoyant knot]

dynamic means you’re actually making everything receive forces from everything else, and all the dynamics get solved at once.
kinematic means it goes directly to where you say, and it doesn’t check for anything stopping it

but using an RB to move will keep colliders synced

example: if collider ceneter is at y=0; then i set transform.position.y =5f; do you know where the collider’s center is now?

it’s not at 5f. it’s still at 0f

[nimble blaze]

oh ok i gotchu

[buoyant knot]

so if any of your other code is reading stuff, it will all be messed up

but if you set rigidbody.position.y = 5f, now the collider’s center actually is at 5f

[nimble blaze]

ok i understand so basically even if the gameobject is all the way into the ground the collider is still in the same place so that is why it needs a rigidbody to follow it

[rich adder]

the rigidbody doesn't follow anything

[buoyant knot]

and you shouldn’t set position like that normally. you would want to use rigidbody.MovePosition, but the point still stands

[rich adder]

it controls the transform, if you are using transform directly it defeats the whole purpose of a rigidbody

[buoyant knot]

rigidbody and transform write to each other

colliders live in rigidbody space. the collider will only actually move when the rigidbody’s position is moved.

and if you set transform, that won’t happen until the next time SyncTransforms is called

which it is called automatically at physics similation

[rich adder]

yeah colliders are part of physics

[buoyant knot]

but if you calculate some numbers based on some numbers, thinking everything is synced and gucci, moving the transform while you have a collider can fuck it up

[nimble blaze]

Oh i see my code is super fuck

i added the rb now the collider follows the movement

but it goes to the ground thing im kind of dumb with programming basically i made my code always deliver between 1 to -1 so the y axis is always going there

[nimble apex]

what?

[rich adder]

why does you key have a rigidbody ?

[nimble blaze]

didnt you guys told me to add a kinectic rb to my object?^

[rich adder]

if it was kinematic , it wouldn't fall

you added a dynamic rb

[nimble apex]

kinematic doesnt affect by physics

which includes gravity

[nimble blaze]

no i mean my code basically forced the y axis

in the transform position

[nimble apex]

is there any chances to not force it?

[nimble blaze]

yeah that is why im tryingg to figure out

https://hatebin.com/rfhejyizct

this is the code

[rich adder]

why dont u show us what it looks like in game view

[rich adder]

yes you're not moving local position

you're starting your y at 0.5 world pos

and then 0 and so forth

sorry 0.83

cause thats what you have in inspector

[novel shoal]

public class BallBehaviour : MonoBehaviour

why does the ball break through the bars and the barriers?

they are all rigidbody, doesn't rigidbody add an hitbox?

[slender nymph]

you shouldn't be adding force inside of Update like that. and you also shouldn't be multiplying your force by deltaTime

also !code

i mean just a small animation is fine? the key???

[novel shoal]

if i don't it stops after a certain amount of time

[nimble apex]

it literally just need an animation, and a dynamic RB with gravity disabled to be a pickup object

[slender nymph]

then do it in FixedUpdate or just assign its velocity

otherwise your object will just increase speed indefinitely and that speed will be dependent on the framerate

[novel shoal]

https://paste.ofcode.org/3aaGNnWYSyZJ8yGqrb4UaP6

[nimble apex]

u need to use a root motion tho @nimble blaze

[novel shoal]

time.deltatime fixes the speed so that it is not dependent on the framerate

[slender nymph]

lol not the way you are using it

[nimble apex]

wait lemme show u

[buoyant knot]

if you add a rigidbody, in the code, you want to call rigidbody.MovePosition

[nimble apex]

real quick

[novel shoal]

how do i make his velocity so that it doesn't slow?

[novel shoal]

why?

[slender nymph]

make sure the rigidbody has no drag and the physics material has no friction. then just assign its velocity

[nimble blaze]

i solved my code

[slender nymph]

because you only multiply by deltaTime once when you create your variable. so not only are you not accounting for variances in deltaTime each time you apply force, but you are also just continuously adding force every single frame

[nimble apex]

so lets get it clear, i joined half way

@nimble blaze

[nimble blaze]

https://hatebin.com/fdawzuttmk

[nimble apex]

u just want a key to be able to pickup, and it floats up and down

thats it?

[nimble blaze]

yes

[buoyant knot]

still not right

[nimble apex]

aight

[nimble blaze]

i did it with code

[nimble apex]

can u try animation?

i mean this is the best use case of animation

[buoyant knot]

you want to do Rigidbody2D rb;
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
and then rb.MovePosition

[nimble apex]

ofc rb can do it

[buoyant knot]

instead of transform.position

[rich adder]

yup

[buoyant knot]

moving transform moves the sprite, while not moving the hitbox properly

this is good for if you want the hitbox to be non-moving

but not if you want the hitbox to move along with the sprite

do you understand?

[nimble blaze]

but it does

[rich adder]

you need MovePosition with kinematic

[buoyant knot]

it will move out of sync

meaning any code that depends on it later will be using wrong numbers

eg it will look perfect now, but potentially break later

[novel shoal]

https://paste.ofcode.org/CEqbwNQWWyqnLANQERgb8B
is this fine @slender nymph ?

[slender nymph]

well now you're just going to make it go in a specific direction no matter what because you've hard coded the velocity. but it's better than it was.
oh and you're still unnecessarily adding force in Start

now go add colliders to your objects because no, Rigidbodies are not colliders

[rich adder]

velocity += addition; 🤔

[novel shoal]

i want to add some speed every time the ball hits the player

[slender nymph]

i recommend watching a tutorial for how to do this. because it looks like it is supposed to be pong and there are dozens, if not hundreds, of tutorials for making pong

[novel shoal]

yeah it is

[rich adder]

ig but you dont need a whole variable for only Vector2.one

[novel shoal]

i didn't know Vector2.one existed lol

[rich adder]

yeah pong has many diff movement types, I did something for Breakout classic type Bat/Ball

I also used velocity but collision I dont use physics because Physics Materials suck

too unreliable

Instantiate(_wallFBO, new Vector3(_player.transform.position.x, _player.transform.position.y, 0), Quaternion.identity);
        _camera.Follow = null;```

Any ideas why ?

[nimble apex]

@nimble blaze hey can u check this out, maybe this is what u want?

i mean as long as it works as u want, any solution should be acceptable

[rich adder]

what is the first screenshot of I dont understand whats happening here

[solemn fractal]

basically i use that cs Instantiate(_wallFBO, new Vector3(_player.transform.position.x, _player.transform.position.y, 0), Quaternion.identity);

and it doesnt spawn above the player it spawn in a wrong position

[nimble apex]

if this is what u want then u dont even need rb at first place

[rich adder]

its possible your pivot is not where you think it was

[solemn fractal]

it is, actually it is in the center

and it spawn a bit lower and to the right

[nimble apex]

just to double check

i mean it wont hurt lol

[nimble apex]

see?

[rich adder]

yeah ur in center mode

[solemn fractal]

oh, it cant be in center mode? i thought that would need to be in center mode

[rich adder]

so ur not seeing the true pivot

[solemn fractal]

ok got it thank you 😄

[nimble apex]

pivot and center is totally different thing

[solemn fractal]

how can I move the pivot to the place i want without moving the object?

[rich adder]

is it a 2D sprite ?

it usually have it in the spire editor

[solemn fractal]

its an empty objkect

that is parent of 4 child 2d sprites

[rich adder]

you have to match the children

unparent it, move it proper

then reparent

[solemn fractal]

ok, thank you

worked, thank you!

[nimble apex]

pivotting is just about parenting

[solemn fractal]

now if I stand still it works.. if I am moving with the player it appear a bit off.. is there a way to fix that? or as it is updating the player position there is no way to do it?

[nimble apex]

1. make sure ur in pivot mode

2. create an ampty object
3. put all the objects u want under it

[lusty cosmos]

feeling very stupid right now, does anyone know why my camera is turning unevenly?

[nimble apex]

when u rotate the parent, it acts like pivot and rotate the rest

is it brackeys?

[solemn fractal]

also when I make my camera to stop following me its like I lost a lot of movement speed with my player.. wierd.. and if I stand still it works.. if I am moving with the player it appear a bit off.. is there a way to fix that? or as it is updating the player position there is no way to do it?

if I stand still it spawns on the correct place

if I am moving right it spawns where u see now

[rich adder]

which one is which

[solemn fractal]

If I move left itt spawns more to the left.. and also i turn my camera OFF to follow me and my player I dont know lose a lot of movement speed

[solemn fractal]

the walls

the idea is... i will be playing. when i reach lvl 30 the final boss appears.. but now the camera needs to stop following me and I will be trapped inside those walls

[dry tendon]

Hello, could someone take fast look at my lighting question said in that channel? I say it here because almost no one watches it... 🤷‍♂️
#archived-lighting message

[solemn fractal]

the player movement actually is the same .. it was just an impression.. but the walls appear slightly to the left or right depend which direction I am moving.. is there a way to fix that? I am saying to spawn on my location but it seems the movement of the player is influencing it a bit

[summer stump]

Is this 2d? And forward is Up?
If so, I guess I get it.

[wise light]

It's not 2D and forward is not up, I want to get this but I can't figure out

[summer stump]

Then.... that doesn't really make sense 😂
The y value would NOT be forward or backward. It is sounding like Z would be forward and backward (which is how most 3d is, unless doing faux 2d, in which x would often be forward backward)

I feel like just using transform.forward makes more sense that the yValue variable you made.

Maybe ask the professor for clarification?

I wondered too, I managed to make it move to the left and right side tho, but yeah Idk how to solve this task. its the 3rd homework, it's only going to get worse

[chilly vigil]

yes it asking for not negitve value

[rich bluff]

not only

[summer stump]

That is not what the error is saying (well, it does, but I bet that isn't the issue)

[rich bluff]

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Index was out of range.
Index is the position you are trying to access
range is the size in elements of the array/list/collection you are trying to access

it has a range, an array with length 5 will have a range 0-4

error says you are trying to get something that is beyond the range of valid positions in the collection

[chilly vigil]

"Your ShrinkCircle method seems correct for its purpose, but there is an issue in the way you're accessing CloseTimes in the Update method. The error you are facing (ArgumentOutOfRangeException) indicates that you're trying to access an index in the CloseTimes list that doesn't exist.

Here's the problematic part:

csharp
Copy code
if (((int)timeElasped) > CloseTimes[closeTimesIndex]) {
// ...
if ((int)timeElasped - (int)timeElasped != CountDown) {
CountDown = Mathf.Clamp(CloseTimes[closeTimesIndex] - (int)timeElasped, 1, 1000);
// ...
}
// ...
}
You should perform additional checks before accessing the CloseTimes list to ensure that closeTimesIndex is within a valid range. You can use the Count property of the list to check its length. Modify the code as follows:

csharp
Copy code
if (closeTimesIndex >= 0 && closeTimesIndex < CloseTimes.Count && (int)timeElasped > CloseTimes[closeTimesIndex]) {
// ...
if ((int)timeElasped - (int)timeElasped != CountDown) {
CountDown = Mathf.Clamp(CloseTimes[closeTimesIndex] - (int)timeElasped, 1, 1000);
// ...
}" this chatgpt said

[summer stump]

Where do you get closeTimesIndex?
And yeah, checking that it is less than (but not equal to) count is good

[languid spire]

typical GPT, 'fixes' your error without actually solving the root cause

[weary moss]

what would be more efficient?
Use collision to detect an object's tag or make a variable for that object and then use collision to detect the GameObject?

[frosty hound]

Use whatever is easier to keep organised for you

[rich bluff]

how many collisions you expect per frame?

most efficient is direct reference comparison

[weary moss]

so the variable

[rich bluff]

tell me how many you expect

[weary moss]

like one every couple of seconds

[rich bluff]

then it doesnt matter

it will matter when you will have 10k collisions per frame, where string/tag/GetComponent will have actual effect

[weary moss]

i mean, it's a phone game, even then it doesn't matter?

[rich bluff]

even then, once every couple seconds

[weary moss]

alright thanks

[rich bluff]

differences there are in microseconds

[queen adder]

can we simulate a button press via code?

[keen crescent]

Hello,
I'm having trouble intuitively understanding how GameObjects work, or just objects in general
If I have a class called Cell, not inheriting from monobehaviour

{
    public GameObject cellObject;
}```
and a class that makes an array of them
```public class NewGrid : MonoBehaviour
{
    Cell[,] cellgridArray = new Cell[10, 10];
}

Why doesn't this actually instantiate gameobjects? I know you can iterate through and instantiate them, but I don't understand why that's necessary
Doesn't making an array of Cell objects necessarily make their gameobjects?

[rich bluff]

with new input system probably, with old, you have to have a wrapper

[queen adder]

wrapper?

[rich bluff]

class is what c# calls a reference type, the array of class Cell and class AnythingElse has equal size of element - the size of a reference, a 64 bit integer

anything inheriting an object, so a class has to be allocated manually through new or Activator.CreateInstance

because what happens is you create that object on the heap and a reference to it is returned to you

structures are value types and they behave like you expected

they are stored by value, embedded into the object they are stored in, so an array of Vector2 will have element size of 2 floats

and will be created in place when you allocate the array

[rich bluff]

yes any wrapper, input system layer, anything on top of unity old Input

so that you dont directly use Input.GetKey

but instead you do that through a layer

bool pressed = myInputLayer.GetKey(..)

then the layer can "simulate" key press

[sturdy lintel]

I'm trying to be able to select an AxisFramePrefab in Unity it & move it. An axisFrame prefab is basically 3 small cylinders looking like x,y,z axis. So If I click & drag on Y cylinder, I should be able to move it in Y-axis only & vice versa for other cylinders. But there is no smooth movement. Can anyone tell me what wrong I am doing?

[rich bluff]

use Plane struct

instead of initial offset, create initial plane in which you will operate

then you can raycast that plane instead, not relying on hitting any collider

[sturdy lintel]

let me try. thanks for suggestion

Are CodeMonkey's code practices good? I'm watching one of his YT tutorials and I wanna make sure I'm learning correctly before I step in too far, the vid is pretty popular and big in views so I assume you guys know a bit about CodeMonkey

[dense root]

So I'm trying to pass an input from InputField into my CheckString function however it is returning null. For some reason my input = s goes null once I hit enter... any thoughts?

Here is the setup:

public void ReadString(string s)
{
    input = s;

    // This checks to see if the string written is the same being read
    CheckString(currentWord, input);
}

And CheckString method for reference:

    private void CheckString(string read, string write)
    {
        Debug.Log("read: " + read);
        Debug.Log("write: " + write);


        if (read == write )
        {
            Debug.Log("Read equals write");
        }
    }

The first read is okay, it holds the value as expected but once I press enter it changes to null

[rich bluff]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/inputfield-onsubmit-vs-inputfield-onendedit.280006/

[dense root]

hmm when i change it to submit I still get the same error

[rich bluff]

seems a way to mitigate it is to bypass the callback and just read the value on input

[dense root]

wdym bypass the callback?

[rich bluff]

dont use it

how many calls per enter happen?

[dense root]

just one

when i press enter it calls the function

but the read variable disappears upon submit

same with write on the next submit

the form seems to "clear" the value

everytime i hit enter

[rich bluff]

try disabling navigation on the component, anything changes?

[dense root]

how do i do that?

[rich bluff]

in the inspector navigation dropdown

[dense root]

no dice

[rich bluff]

im not sure whats going on there, you can try googling, or if you know how to use the debugger, you can copy the ugui package into the project which will allow you to navigate the call stack and find where it loses the reference

[abstract finch]

Is there a way to rotate the camera with clamp using Input.GetAxisRaw? I notice alot of guides store the values rather than use it per frame. The reason I ask is because I want to incorporate a recoil variable in adition to applying the input

Yeah I'll do that

Hey guys.. I created an object and when I instantiate it on the players location, if I am standing still the boss spawns at the correct location, but if I am moving to the right it spawns like a bit to the right etc.. also for the left and so on.. any fix?

[wintry quarry]

Whatever is happening is due to your code. The fix will be to change the code. Can't say more without seeing the code.

You also need to explain what you want to actually happen (what is the correct behavior?)

[solemn fractal]

true, I am using this as the player movement. ```cs
private void PlayerMovement(){

    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    float verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

    transform.Translate(Vector3.right * playerSpeed * horizontalInput * Time.deltaTime);
    transform.Translate(Vector3.up * playerSpeed * verticalInput * Time.deltaTime);
    
}``` When I spawn the boss like that:  ```cs
private void InvokeFinalBO(){

    Instantiate(_finalBossOne, new Vector3(_player.transform.position.x, _player.transform.position.y + 21.4f, 0), Quaternion.identity);
    //Instantiate(_wallFBO, new Vector3(_player.transform.position.x, _player.transform.position.y, 0), Quaternion.identity);
    _camera.Follow = null;
    
}``` it should spawn on player position. itworks BUT if I am moving to any place.. it spawns a bit like 1..2..3..4. units to the direction I am going..

[wintry quarry]

it will spawn at exactly:
new Vector3(_player.transform.position.x, _player.transform.position.y + 21.4f, 0
The speed your player is moving is irrelevant

[solemn fractal]

but it doesnt.. and if it does.. it mess up.. because the boss just move left when reach end of the screen he moves to the right.. just that.. but if I am moving with the player as he spawns not where I want he goes beyound the screen 1..2..3...4 units

if am standing still it works as intended and he moves to the left or right until the end of the screen and doest go further away.. so might have some frames of something that is messing with it.. dont know how to fix.. maybe say that if the player is going to the left.. spawn him a bit to the right etc

[wintry quarry]

You'd have to show the code for the boss etc. and also possibly video or screenshot of the scene and what's happening

What I do know is that Instantiate spawns objects exactly where you tell it to

[solemn fractal]

ok thank you

[hybrid gust]

float noiseHeight = Mathf.PerlinNoise((float)(x/ height), (float)(z/width));

Assuming this line of code is in for loops that change the x AND they y values. Why am I getting 0.4652731 regardless of the value of x or y?

Ive seen people suggesting that using ints instead for floats might be the issue, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference whatsoever

[wintry quarry]

Perlin noise is always teh same value at integer boundaries

I.e. you are plugging in (0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0) etc

you need to sample the noise function between those values

You're sampling at the dots and you need to sample between the dots

Also x/ height < if x and height are integers, this will do integer division

casting to float AFTER that is useless

You have: (float)(x/ height)
You need: (float)x/height or x / (float)height

[hybrid gust]

Okay gotcha, I was about to lose my mind lol

[muted wadi]

im confused on why the objects that are hit by the ray and stored in the hitThing RaycastHit variable are only added to the lockedOn list once

 {
     camPos = mainCam.transform.position;

     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse1))
     {
         RayOut();
         lockedOn.Add(hitThing.transform.gameObject);
         hasLockedOn = true;

         Debug.DrawRay(camPos, mainCam.transform.forward * 100, Color.magenta, 3f);
     }
     if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse1) && hasLockedOn)
     {
         Destroy(lockedOn[lockedOn.Count - 1]);
         lockedOn.Clear();
         hasLockedOn = false;
     }
 }```

the ray is being cast every frame, which means that the data stored in hitThing should also be updated every frame. So in that sense, hitThing should also be added to the list every frame, even if its the same data right?

should i maybe use a while loop instead and just break when the player stops pressing the right mouse button?

[tacit estuary]

What’s the goal? Currently all the code should be doing is destroying 1 object (the last one you laser-ed)

[muted wadi]

the goal is to add every object that the raycast has hit during the time mouse2 was held down, and after mouse2 has been let go, to destroy every object in the list according to the order it was added

[muted wadi]

how come hitThing isn't being added to the list every frame?

[wintry quarry]

what makes you think it's only being added once?

Also why do you need a list in the first place?

[muted wadi]

i guess because it only destroys the last object that was hovered over

[wintry quarry]

         Destroy(lockedOn[lockedOn.Count - 1]);
         lockedOn.Clear();```
this doesn't require a list

right here #💻┃code-beginner message

notice how you are only calling Destroy one time? Only one thing is going to be destroyed, and that thing is the last element in the list.

[muted wadi]

wait what

how come its only the last element?

[wintry quarry]

Because that's the code you wrote

Destroy(lockedOn[lockedOn.Count - 1]);

"Destroy the thing at the last index in the list"

[muted wadi]

huh

[wintry quarry]

What are you confused about

lockedOn[lockedOn.Count - 1] < this gets the last element in the list
Destroy destroys whatever you pass into it

[muted wadi]

doesn't .Count mean all of it?

[wintry quarry]

what?

Count is just the number of elements in the list

COunt - 1 is the last valid index in the list

[muted wadi]

oh i see

[wintry quarry]

Therefore lockedOn[lockedOn.Count - 1] gets the last item in the list

there's no magic that will make Destroy suddenly destroy multiple objects when only being called one time

[muted wadi]

no i know

[wintry quarry]

You should:

• Use a HashSet instead of a List, since it doesn't allow duplicates
• use a foreach loop to loop over them all and destroy all of them

[muted wadi]

aw man

i was gonna use a hashset at first but i thought it wasn't the right type for this kind of thing

[wintry quarry]

Why?

[muted wadi]

i dont know much about hash sets but i thought it kept less information, or maybe didn't keep an ordered list

[wintry quarry]

It doesn't keep an ordered list

but you don't need ordering as far as I can tell

[muted wadi]

i do

[wintry quarry]

Ok then just only add a thing to the list when it's a new thing

[tacit estuary]

When you destroy them, it instantly destroys them meaning the order doesn’t really matter. You can use a hashset which makes sure you only add unique game objects to the list (that way you don’t add like 100x the same game object).

[wintry quarry]

What do you need the order for though?

[tacit estuary]

If you want to play an animation so they destroy in order, you should use a hashset and a list. Use the hashset to verify you are adding a new game object, and use the list to destroy them in order

[muted wadi]

the destroy part was just for functionality right now, i was going to make it so an object zips between each object in the list and destroys them along the way

[teal viper]

Hashset might not work very well with the hit struct.

[wintry quarry]

It won't

they should be storing Collider or GameObject

they should not be using the RaycastHit struct so widely

[muted wadi]

lockedOn.Add(hitThing.transform.gameObject);

this should fix that though right?

[wintry quarry]

so yeah something like:

HashSet<GameObject> uniqueObjects = new();
List<GameObject> objects = new();

void Update() {
  if (Input.GetKey(...) 
  && Physics.Raycast(... out RaycastHit hit, ...) 
  && uniqeObjects.Add(hit.collider.gameObject)) {
      objects.Add(hit.collider.gameObject);
    }
  }
}``` basically

and then Clear() them both when you let go of the button

[muted wadi]

hmm alright

[teal elk]

    {
        Move();
    }

    private void Move()
    {
        Vector2 moveInput = input.Move.normalized;
        Vector3 move = transform.right * moveInput.x + transform.forward * moveInput.y;

        transform.position += move * Time.deltaTime;

        animator.SetFloat("horizontal", moveInput.x);
        animator.SetFloat("vertical", moveInput.y);

        Debug.Log("Im Moving");
    }``` im trying to get my charcter to move with the new input  system , but its not moing when pressing the keys, can anyone see what im doing wrong. in the code

[wintry quarry]

Where is input.Move.normalized coming from?

The code you shared doesn't explain how you're handling input at all

[signal mango]

For System.Index and System.Range, all you need to do is polyfill them. You can do that manually or you can use a package like IndexRange for it.

• Download package (button on the right)
• Open the .nupkg in an archival program (it's just a ZIP file)
• Go into lib/netstandard2.0/ (or netstandard2.1 for Unity 2021.3+) and copy IndexRange.dll into your project

[teal elk]

    void Awake()
    {
        playerActions = new GameInputActions();
        playerActions.Enable();
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
       playerActions?.Disable();
    }
    public Vector2 Move => playerActions.PlayerActionMap.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();``` here is what is handling my input.

[signal mango]

See here for a list of stuff that works when polyfilled: https://github.com/DaZombieKiller/UnityRoslynUpdater#language-support

[wintry quarry]

Where did you get the input reference from? Is it referencing an object in the scene? Or perhaps a prefab?

[teal elk]

i have two scripts player input and player controller , the first code is from my player controller and the one i shared is from my playerInput. public PlayerInput input { get; private set; } is the input.

[wintry quarry]

that's just the property declaration

how is the property assigned?

(btw PlayerInput is not a good name for that script, since there's a PlayerInput component in the input system package already, which is confusing)

[teal elk]

input = GetComponent<PlayerInput>(); i assigned in the start function of my PlayerController.cs, the PlayerInput.cs script is on the player object in the scene. i hope Im making sense.

[wintry quarry]

Ok can you do Debug.Log($"Move input is: {moveInput}"); in your PlayerMovement script then, just to double check we're not actually getting any input?

[teal elk]

Move input is: (0.00, 0.00)
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
PlayerController:Move () (at Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerController.cs:46)
PlayerController:Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerController.cs:31)
here is the debug, im stuck at 0,0,0 .

[wintry quarry]

Can you show how you configured the action in the actions asset?

[wintry quarry]

That all looks good 🤔

Can you show the inspector of your player object?

[wintry quarry]

Hmm is there a reason you have those prefab overrides?

[teal elk]

its a prefab

[wintry quarry]

This isn't a prefab

This is an instance of a prefab

And those components are only on this instance, not on the prefab itself. Hence the overrides (in blue, with plus signs)

[hollow axle]

Say I have an object that has bool isLookingForAFight = true. I want the object to move toward and collide with another object with the same var value. How do I do that? FindGameObjectsWithTag is similar to what I'm looking for, but instead of looking for a certain tag I want the object to look for a certain variable

[wintry quarry]

Rather than setting some bool on a script, you should add all of the NPCs that are looking for a fight to some list on some central manager script

Then simply check what's in that list as needed

[hollow axle]

It's a bit too advanced for me, lol, but I'm gonna try it nonetheless. Thanks

You should do it as the bot suggested

[amber spruce]

so these are my 2 scripts how do i add a double jump to them

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

    public CharacterController2D controller;

    public float runSpeed = 40f;

    float horizontalMove = 0f;
    bool jump = false;
    bool crouch = false;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

        horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))

        }

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Crouch"))

    }

    void FixedUpdate()

new input system backend was'nt enable ,

[chilly vigil]

updated version https://hastebin.com/share/adeledisib.csharp

[wintry quarry]

was going to ask that but thought you would have gotten an error in that case.

[rocky gale]

hi im making a tower defense game and whenever i place a character i get the error: UnityException: Transform child out of bounds
MouseHoverScript.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/MouseHoverSelect.cs:97) and when i place a bunch of characters after a few seconds i get the error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
MouseHoverScript.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/MouseHoverSelect.cs:93)

heres the code:
https://hastebin.com/share/ofireqineq.csharp

[summer stump]

This is empty. Maybe forgot to hit save?

[rocky gale]

mb

changed it

[rich adder]

its telling you hit.transform.GetChild(0).position; is out of bounds then you have hit.transform that has no children

[rocky gale]

ye but it has children thats why im confused

[runic lotus]

hello! when I use input field, the text (the value that is written in the field) is by default a TMP UGUI right? I need to target that in UVS, but due to a problem, I cant be using Get Text of TMP UGUI, I need to specifically target only a 'TMP text' to get its value, can I turn the value of that input field to TMP text instead of UGUI without messing up anything ?

[wintry quarry]

What?

What is UVS?

[rich adder]

well the computer says otherwise

i trust the computer

[rocky gale]

idk it has children

[runic lotus]

visual scripting

[summer stump]

The error says it does not.
Do Debug.Log($"getting child from {hit.gameObject}", gameObject);

It will show that it is not the object you expect

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "can I turn the value of that input field to TMP text"?

[rich adder]

then its not hitting what you think it is..

[runic lotus]

the 'text' is TMP UGUI'

[chilly vigil]

and there shrinking storm using an force flied from 2018 in spainish

[wintry quarry]

You shouldn't be referencing that thing directly anyway

just read it through the TMP_InputField

[runic lotus]

also cant be using it either, sadly

its complicated and stupid i know

[wintry quarry]

SOunds like a fake problem / XY problem

[runic lotus]

just thank microsoft for their beautiful creations

[wintry quarry]

anyway your variable is of type TextMeshPro

TMP_Text is the parent class of both TextMeshPro and TextMeshProUGUI

just use TMP_Text

[wintry quarry]

I don't understand this comment

what does Microsoft have to do with the type of your variable in your script

[runic lotus]

thats the part where i said, 'due to a problem', Im using something called 'Microsoft mesh', and its basically not allowing 90% of normal methods that are in UVS

[rocky gale]

i fixed the error now, i just need to refix function tho lol. thx

[wintry quarry]

I can't imagine any scenario where TextMeshPro would be available but not TMP_Text or TextMeshProUGUI. In fact TMP_Text is the parent class for TextMeshPro so it's not really possible for the former to not exist when the latter does

I would guess you are doing something incorrectly

[runic lotus]

well, it is in my case, not much that I can do to that

[wintry quarry]

I'm hitting the doubt button on that

[summer stump]

It is a parent class.
It is objectively not possible what you are saying
TextMeshProUGUI inherits from TMP_Text..
Meaning TextMeshProUGUI IS TMP_Text plus some extra

[wintry quarry]

I think you just picked the wrong type in this dropdown

[wintry quarry]

Maybe just write a regular C# script

[runic lotus]

not possible

cant be compiled by microsoft mesh

trust me ive tried

[wintry quarry]

ok well idk then, stop using that shitty product

[runic lotus]

not my choice

[wintry quarry]

maybe try legacy input field?

[wintry quarry]

Then what you want to do is not possible

[runic lotus]

once again

[teal viper]

Wdym by "compiled by Microsoft mesh". From Google it sounds like it's just a VR library.

[runic lotus]

sigh

[wintry quarry]

But why not TMP_InputField?

that doesn't work either?

[runic lotus]

yep, same thing

idea is, click on a cube (note), and have the text from the input field be in the text that s on top of the cube, simple enough.. yeeeaaahhh..

if anyone could suggest another way of doing it, to have a similar system to 'sticky notes', id be grateful

[wintry quarry]

Looks like Mesh has its own UI stuff like this dialog?

Maybe you should try to use those?

[runic lotus]

thats the thing, there is only that, 'show Dialog'

[wintry quarry]

Looks like there's some other concept called "Cloud Scripting"?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mesh/develop/script-your-scene-logic/cloud-scripting/cloud-scripting-programmers-guide#basic-dom-structure

Seems to mention TMP components as being supported

idk if that helps

[amber spruce]

anyone know how i can add a doulbe jump to my script

[summer stump]

Make an int called jumpQuota or something. Set it to 2
When you jump, subtract one.
If it's 0, don't allow jumping.
In your ground check, set it back to 2

[amber spruce]

how do i call a variable from one script to another

[wintry quarry]

The same way you do it with built in Unity components.

1. Get a reference
2. do whatever you want with it

[amber spruce]

how do i reference it

[summer stump]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/references

If you can, you want a serialized reference

[amber spruce]

anyone know why i cant start my thing

[summer stump]

If you can't, it means you're probably instantiating the object? You have to pass the reference returned by the Instantiate call somehow

[amber spruce]

i hit play and nothing happens

[summer stump]

It really depends.
What is your "thing"? Just EVERYTHING? Show a video

[amber spruce]

like nothing happens

[summer stump]

You are clicking start so fast nothing COULD happen.
Click it ONCE

[amber spruce]

clicking it once doesnt do anything

[summer stump]

Do you have a rigidbody with gravity enabled?

[amber spruce]

yeah

[summer stump]

Show a video where you only click it once, and show more of the inspector if possible

[queen adder]

that's a lot of errors

[summer stump]

You have 65 compile errors
Can't play with compile errors

[amber spruce]

i didnt see that they where unchecked lol never noticed thenm

fixed it

now i have the problem of it never resetting the jumpcounter

[summer stump]

Every fixed update you seem to set m_Grounded to false and use wasGrounded.

Ah, I see where you set it true

[spare mountain]

fix your errors before compiling code

[amber spruce]

it works thanks

Is there a (simple) way to rotate a vector by an amount in radians

quaternion.eulerAngle() uses degrees but most of the trig functions return radians, I can convert easily enough but I'm curious

[gaunt ice]

[wintry quarry]

The simple way is to convert

[vocal widget]

i have doubt about the node system that
i am working on tiger and goat game and the game consist a kill condition for tiger to kill goat
but the condition is tiger should actually kill the goat if the goat is there infront of tiger and skip that node and transform its position to the next node
can some one help me with this

i am not able to get the logic

[eternal needle]

how are you storing the data for these nodes? is this like a graph or just array/2d array?
There must be some definition of what "infront" is, like with arrays it would be based on index

[vocal widget]

i am storing the data of each node in the list as each node has the node script on it and just manually giving each node that how tiger will move

[gaunt ice]

Adjacency list
So you have defined next node already

[vocal widget]

yeah

so every node has its specific list of elements on which tiger can move

and the kill condition list which is neighbouringnextnode list is having thenodes on which tiger if the tiger will come then it will have this nodes to move

[lethal depot]

how to use animator if your main model(mesh) is child object of an empty game object?? can we still animate the character ?
the player mesh is child object of playerholder empty game object and i want to animate the player for idle and running animation , how do i do it?

[gaunt ice]

What are the purposes of having neighbouring nodes? (Not next node)

I think you mean: for each node: it checks its neighbours next nodes to see if there is tiger on the next node, and further check will the tiger comes(?) to itself (the node that are checking), then assign its position to tiger s position

[eternal needle]

you should have the list ordered in a certain way, or define each node like
public Node left, right, forward, back. If its random (just based on how you decide to drag the transforms in) then your only check for direction relies on the position which might be annoying.
Im not sure what neighbouring next node is for though in your component

[eternal needle]

this is a code channel

[lethal depot]

oh sorry about that.

[vocal widget]

yes

[gaunt ice]

I prefer the tigers done the checking, for each neighbouring node (not the next node) of the node that the tiger on, check if is there any goat in the neighbouring nodes, and the next problem is to define direction, considering what bawsi said
One node may have multiples “next nodes” that tiger can jump into

[patent compass]

we took a list and are storing the neighbouring nodes into the node list like this.

[SerializeField] private List<Transform> neighbouringNodes;
[SerializeField] private List<Transform> neighbouringNextNodes;
public List<Transform> GetNeighbouringNodes()
{
    return neighbouringNodes;
}
public List<Transform> GetNeighbouringNextNodes()
{
    return neighbouringNextNodes;
}```

[patent compass]

How to check if a goat is on the node? collision?

[gaunt ice]

The tf should be assigned in a Ordered Way, not related to how you stored the tf (using array or list or multiple variables)

What is the “Occupied by goat” field….

[vocal widget]

ohh that was just an experiment the code does not have related to it just ignore it

[eternal needle]

i understand already that they are lists, but what is neighbouring next nodes actually for?

you should store the reference to Node instead of transform

[gaunt ice]

Are the positions of tigers/ goats are limited( they can only stay on the nodes)? Though this is unimportant, consider assigning corresponding node by the animals’ position to animals

[vocal widget]

so actually that is to check for a movement when the tiger will kill the goat and it will skip one position and move to the other

[gaunt ice]

The node can reference to tigers/goats and vice verse

[vocal widget]

yes they can only stay on nodes

[eternal needle]

yea thats not needed then, it should just check through the neighbouring nodes

[vocal widget]

ummmm okkk

i am not getting that how will i check if the node is occupied

[gaunt ice]

Read what i have typed…

[vocal widget]

and one more thing is every node tiger and goat has different script on it for movement and there respective work then how should i write a kill condition for tiger

[teal viper]

Instead of storing neighboring nodes as transforms, store them as Nodes, so that you can access it's members.

Then you can check if a neighboring node has a sheep or a tiger and what other nodes it's connected to.

[vocal widget]

ok ok

[tawdry mirage]

temporary variables used inside cycle, should i declare them before cycle or inside of it, if i don't need them outside of cycle?

i mean it will reallocate memory every time or something

[languid spire]

what kiind of variables are you talking about? Primitives, Value Types, Reference Types?

[tawdry mirage]

reference types

[languid spire]

Reference types are better declared outside of the method if that method is called many times

[tawdry mirage]

ok, thank you!

[teal viper]

It's fine unless they are instantiated/created inside the loop

[gaunt ice]

I will declare them inside the scope, since they are not needed outside the scope and the registers/stack/cache should be released

[woven crater]

whats the different between SmoothDamp and lerp?

[silver dock]

my game has 100+ UI buttons, i want to make it so that an audio source plays when any of them is clicked, excluding 2-3 buttons. Is there any way i can do this via code without having to assign each button manually, but instead i only assign the exceptions

[gaunt ice]

loop through all buttons

then alllistener

[silver dock]

like this?

[eternal needle]

I wouldnt use FindObjectsOfType incase you want to add new buttons in the future that dont play a sound. Everytime you'll have to remember to adjust this list, and having to remember previous scripts is truly a headache. I think it's worth it just mass selecting all the relevant gameobjects and dragging them into some inspector slot for which play a sound

[silver dock]

selecting all the buttons is gonna take too long, and im surely gonna miss some, i know cause thats what i was doing until now

[eternal needle]

You can drag multiple items at once, and select multiple at once in the hierarchy

[silver dock]

im well aware. Each button is a child of another object, and there are 100+ buttons

[eternal needle]

Not on pc but I think you can filter out all the irrelevant objects with searching
t:Button

I forgot if that displays parent objects

[rotund belfry]

what's wrong?

public class SceneLoader : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject loaderUi;

[gaunt ice]

Are the script using UnityEngine;

[languid spire]

missing using UnityEngine;

[silver dock]

is there really no way to automate this? cause each time i make a new button, adding that in the inspector is gonna be bothersome too

[modest dust]

Why not just make a custom script and attach it to the buttons to let them add themselves to the list on Start()

Or Awake() or whatever

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️what you had above could work if you're really confident you'll remember to add to the excluded list everytime you need to. It's a lot easier to debug that you need to add a button to the list instead of "why is my button making noise when it has no scripts on it" 3 months down the line

[modest dust]

either via event or singleton

[silver dock]

That won't be a problem. But what i had above is not doing anything AT ALL.

[eternal needle]

Did u debug to see which part specifically isnt working? Now that I look at it more closely, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to add a listener to every button that checks if its excluded. You should check if its excluded then add a listener if it isnt.

[silver dock]

i think i found the issue, its only adding the sound to the 2 buttons which are enabled at the start of the game, and ignoring all those that get enabled after

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys.. I am trying to do something that might be simple but it seems that my mind cant figure this out with coroutines or invokingRepeating. Basically I have a boss that should shoot for 10 sec 1 type of bullet and after 10sec it stops and start shooting another bullet for 3 sec, and that repeats for ever.. tried with booleans, ifs, coroutines or invokes but 1 - or I crash the program with loops and whiles or it just doesnt work. any tips?

[hexed terrace]

#763499475641172029

[modest dust]

Show current code

[nimble apex]

"different types" of bullets should be a function or another prefab, it depends on how u do it

[gaunt ice]

crash is not freeze...
10 sec shooting->10 sec cool down->3 seconds shooting->cool down
^ |
|-----------------------------<------------------------------------|
now you have a loop that can run on coroutine

[solemn fractal]

oh, ok will try, thank you guys

[nimble apex]

keep in mind that coroutine waits will be affected by frame time, it will have a 0.01-0.03second delay (if ur fps around 60)

buuuuut switching should be fine, if not shooting bullets

[solemn fractal]

yeah, its simple task but for me as noob is taking more than it should.. still getting around coroutines etc..

[nimble apex]

for actions that is extremely frequent , like 400RPM+ , do a simple timer

for action that is few second once or even 1-2 seconds once, feel free to use coroutines

[woven crater]

so because i put movementDirection.x and movementDirection.y into the directionangle and movementDirection is controller by vertical and horizontal input
which set the direction angle vector to 0,0 when im not moving so when im using directionangle to rotate the character it keep rotate back to (0,0) rotation.
how to fix?

maybe not using the movementDirection.x and y but idk what value to put inthere to get the current direction

[modest dust]

simply don't rotate when both horizontal and vetical are 0

[woven crater]

ah..... lol thank

Some videos I see people clicking on an arrow, but mine doesnt have it so normally i crtl click on the method and go to the method class to check it but is there another way ?

[solemn fractal]

done it like that and worked ```cs
private IEnumerator Shoot(){

     while (true)
    {
        StartCoroutine(ShootNormal(10));
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(10f);
        StopCoroutine("ShootNormal");

        StartCoroutine(ShootFast(3));
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);
        StopCoroutine("ShootFast");
    } 
}

private IEnumerator ShootNormal(float duration)
{
    float startTime = Time.time;

    while (Time.time - startTime < duration)
    {
        Attack();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
    }
}

    private IEnumerator ShootFast(float duration)
{
    float startTime = Time.time;

    while (Time.time - startTime < duration)
    {
        AttackFast();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.03f);
    }
} ```

If your ide is configured properly, it should show you the overloads.

[solemn fractal]

prob it is not, as I cant see them, it just says it contains +3 overloads.. so now I always need to Control Click to open the class and check. But I have followed the steps here to implement everytihng on my Ide but I might have missed something tho. Ok thank you

[teal viper]

You can scroll the overloads when entering the parameters(inside the parenthesis) with up/down keys.

what will u guys do to group up a set of poker? or make it into a collection

like dividing diamond heart spade and A-K

[patent compass]

Hello, how can i create a turn system in my game. is it necessary to use enums?

[nimble apex]

dictionary<int,int>```
where 0,1,2,3 is code for diamond, heart, spade....

or 
```cs
dictionary<enum,int>```
where enum can be diamond heart spade

i think enum int should be better

ty lol

[solemn fractal]

yeah mine doesnt have that.

[teal viper]

What ide are you using? Take a screenshot of what it looks like.

[solemn fractal]

Visual Studio Code

[hexed terrace]

You can scroll the overloads while you're typing .. I dunno if you can do it once you stop and leave it with an error, like in this screenshot

[solemn fractal]

Hmm cant anyways. but all good thank you !!

I have a AnimationController and FBX animations, can I use C# to add these animations to the AnimationController?

Death movement overwritten

[eager elm]

neither, I'd make a class named 'Card' and give it a field for Suit and Value. Then I put them in a List

Hey, I would like to try to change the rotation locally as the bottom part is a child, but it starts moving relative to the whole object. Is there any way to change the rotation locally?

My goal is to try to move the bottom part whilst moving and the top whilst looking at the mouse

[rich adder]

because its covering the whole screen size

also not a code question

[woven crater]

ahh...

[rich adder]

show current code

[rich adder]

which one is myRigidbody also show you setup like hierarchy and pivots

[languid spire]

you are using Quaternion values as if they were Euler

[queen adder]

Anyone knew how to make it so the camera can't moving around despite I put 'Time.timeScale = 1;' on the InventoryManager script?

[rich adder]

also that ^

[full imp]

myRigidbody is the rigidbody component in "Player"

[rich adder]

no we dont. we dont mind read your scripts

[queen adder]

Should I copy the whole code or just put the file?

[rich adder]

Alright. Is this right?

[rich adder]

I guess, nothing here would make the camera not move, timescale =1 doesn;t do what you think it does

[queen adder]

I know since from the tutorial I learn, timescale used for pausing the model action but thanks. I want to make it when the character opened a menu, it will also lock/stop the camera from moving just like in any JRPG, like Persona for example.

[rich adder]

so where is the camera moved in the first place? cameras dont move on their own

[full imp]

Would I have to convert the quaternion values to euler in order to get my local rotation?

[languid spire]

no, just use Quaternions and set rotation

[queen adder]

Well... it just, something like this.

can i get some help with something please?

[fickle plume]

@queen adder Top of #854851968446365696 How to ask questions here.

[queen adder]

sorry

[rich adder]

awsome, so there is a script controlling the camera. Just disable whatever that is

if its only the cinemachine component doing it , then you disable that

[queen adder]

Alright, thanks for that!

[steel herald]

may i ask how to make animations :s

am lost

you twice used command and dont read the bot message 😂

[steel herald]

my bad

i just joind :s

[rich adder]

is alright, reading in hard xD

[gaunt ice]

where is the button? i believe the two green tracks definitely not the button
btw is the button located as 0,0,0 in parent's space? it should be child of the track

[umbral bough]

I kind of tested this theory out but not in a way that you recommended, I noticed that the sprite sometimes disappears very early on, sometimes even as early as the first launch so that's not it.
Any other ideas?

It seems that I am actually able to constantly recreate it :/

I just add this force to the object at the very start:

private IEnumerator Start()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
    _rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * 100, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}

[teal viper]

The only other idea is to reproduce the issue and debug it.

[umbral bough]

I am able to reproduce it consistently now, how am I supposed to debug it tho?

[teal viper]

What object?

[umbral bough]

nah man I am confused rn

[teal viper]

Pause the game when the issue occurs and inspect the object. You want to figure out what exactly makes it invisible. Is it broken mesh? No vertices? Triangles? Maybe material going transparent? Or something with uvs?

[umbral bough]

I moved the scene camera so that the object can be seen and it's not disappearing

[teal viper]

Maybe it's just being disabled?

[umbral bough]

moved the camera away and it's disappearing again

[steel herald]
