^ This is about the fourth time we've told you that

[dense root]

Okay I readded it but it still doesn't want to shoot

Alright I'll try Impulse

[wintry quarry]

because the force is too low and not using Impulse

[normal slate]

show us the code again

[summer stump]

make it Impulse and set thrust to 100

[normal slate]

once you are done

[summer stump]

You are also back to using transform.up. Use Vector2
instance.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(Vector2.up * thrust, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

[normal slate]

public class PlayerControls : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 200.0f;
    private Rigidbody2D rb;

    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        rb.interpolation = RigidbodyInterpolation2D.Interpolate;
    }
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        mousePos.z = transform.position.z;
        Vector2 direction = mousePos - transform.position;
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        angle -= 90f;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0,0,angle));


        float hInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float vInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        if (Mathf.Abs(hInput) > 0 || Mathf.Abs(vInput) > 0)
        {
            Vector2 direction2 = new Vector2(hInput, vInput).normalized;
            Vector2 movement = direction2 * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
            rb.velocity = movement;
        }
        else
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
            rb.angularVelocity = 0f;
        }
    }

can you look at this and see if I can improve this?

is it correct to use velocity with player movement?

[wintry quarry]

Time.fixedDeltaTime should not be multiplied into the velocity

[normal slate]

but I want it to move not based on framerate though

[wintry quarry]

velocity already handles that

[normal slate]

really?

oh weird

[wintry quarry]

Yes really

[normal slate]

okay thanks

[wintry quarry]

your velocity is X m/s

not X / 50 arbitrarily

[normal slate]

that sounds about right now that I think about it

[wintry quarry]

when the object is MOVED based on velocity, the amount moved per individual physics frame would be velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime. But the physics engine handels that for you automatically

[summer stump]

still doing transform.up

[dense root]

Oh

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[dense root]

What do I do instead?

Ahh I didn't see that sorry

[normal slate]

new Vector2(0,1)

[summer stump]

Oh, well if it works it works

[wintry quarry]

why does your spawner have a Rigidbody on it at all? the ball rigidbodies are what you care about having gravity scale set to 0, not the spawner

[normal slate]

should be the same thing

[summer stump]

Except it allocates memory

[dense root]

Still coming back down

[wintry quarry]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[normal slate]

true i guess use case would be if you want to consider the current object's rotation as well.

[wintry quarry]

You set gravity scale to 0 on the spawner. It needs to be set on the ball prefab

[dense root]

ohhhh

[wintry quarry]

The spawner also doesn't need a Rigidbody2D at all

[dense root]

Thank you

[normal slate]

so i am confused exactly what rigidbody2d does then? I put it on my character because I was told it helps with collisions somehow can you help explain please.

[wintry quarry]

Rigidbody2D is an object that is simulated by the 2D physics engine

[ivory bobcat]

It's a component that allows the object to simulate rigidbody in 2d

[wintry quarry]

When you have one, you are a 2D physics object

if you don't have one, you aren't one (or at least not one that can move via the physics sim)

[normal slate]

wait so can not apply velocity to one without it?

[summer stump]

You need one (or a charactercontroller) to register OnTriggerEnter
Velocity is applied to a rigidbody, so no

[normal slate]

what do you mean by move via the physics sim is it with the collisions?

[wintry quarry]

The concept of veloicity is easy to recreate without one, but that doesn't mean the object is part of the physics simulation

[wintry quarry]

it's collisions, forces, gravity, etc.

[normal slate]

ah okay

[wintry quarry]

When you give a Rigidbody velocity (either by setting it directly, adding forces, or having other objects collide with it) the physics engine moves the object for you

otherwise you have to move everything yourself

[ivory bobcat]

You get the whole rigidbody physics bundle (not fake game physics)

[normal slate]

like actually using the transform.position to set it right?

[wintry quarry]

yes this just teleports an object to precisely wherever you say

[normal slate]

ah okay

cool thanks

[amber spruce]

i was wondering what improvements and if my character controller would even work https://pastebin.com/16t9QE1x (its a 2d game btw)

this is my first real attempt to make a character controller by myself without a tutorial

[bright nexus]

Hello, I have set up an extremely simple gravity system subtracting velocity from the players y position every frame. My script is causing my player to move down extremely fast in the first few seconds I start the game. I have added a clamp to my fall speed (in which the velocity can only barely go over according to the console), yet my player can still go fast enough to move through the floor. I am beginning to think this is a problem with my groundcheck although I don't have a clue what it is. I am looking for some help so I can get things working properly. Thank you https://paste.myst.rs/hi3j0h3a

[mint dove]

You can use enums to make states also it will be better if you have multiple methods.

[amber spruce]

so like make a method for jumping moving crouching sprinting etc

[desert temple]

I'm having some trouble setting up an exit button for my student project, and I've been following multiple tutorials, so I suspect I'm just doing something wrong.

[mint dove]

yes it will make you're code organized and easy to read

[amber spruce]

k thanks

[amber spruce]

wdym by use enums to make states?

[mint dove]

you can use enums to make player states like idle, walking, running etc. than you can use the state to jump, walk etc.

[amber spruce]

im still not following sorry if im just being dumb right now

[lament agate]

Hi guys, I have an issue where the prefabs aren't saving the game object I'm using in the variable slot, also when I put the script on my object it gives me the wrong script name (Sci Fi Warrior CON in this case) but it is using the correct script still but I'm not sure if there's another issue that's causing it, not sure what to do at all

[abstract finch]

What is the term for the :Bullet part?
public class HomingBullet : Bullet

[lament agate]

I might be wrong but isn't that inheritance? https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/inheritance#

[abstract finch]

thats the one thhanks

[lament agate]

No worries 🙂

[amber spruce]

this is the current one https://pastebin.com/HpaNNtyf for all of my things to work do they all need to be called in like a void Update or like a void FixedUpdate or smth

[lament agate]

Yeah call your movement methods in void update

[amber spruce]

https://pastebin.com/DWbXYtcU smth like that would work??

[lament agate]

Yeah personally I'd put the crouch, sprint and jump in update as well but I think that would be fine, I am just a student myself tho so there might be a better way 🙂

[amber spruce]

alright thanks

for if statements how do i have it so it checks for this or this

[modest barn]

bool x = false;
bool y = true;
if(x || y)
{
Console.WriteLine("Either x or y is true. '||' signifies 'or'.");
}

This would print the string.

[amber spruce]

thanks

so i have a IsGrounded function

public bool IsGrounded()
{
    return Physics2D.BoxCast(m_Coll.bounds.center, m_Coll.bounds.size, 0f, Vector2.down, .1f, jumpableGround);
}

how would i check to see if the player lands so like if they wherent grounded a second ago

[dark laurel]

private bool _isGrounded = true;
private void Jump()
{
  // apply force upward
  _isGrounded = false;
}

private void Update()
{
  if (!_isGrounded && IsGrounded())
  {
    Debug.Log("Major Tom to Ground Control, I'm feeling very still");
    _isGrounded = true;
  }
}

[round scaffold]

Hey I wanna make an inventory system where all the items compose of weapons, abilities and, consumables, would it be better to use scriptable objects, class inheritance, or interfaces for the items?

[dark laurel]

yes

[round scaffold]

i agree

[dark laurel]

ScriptableObjects to hold your data points (int weight, Sprite icon etc).

Polymorphism to reduce copy and paste code (int id, string name).

Interfaces to make interactions easier. (if (InventoryItem is IStackable item) item.StackIt(); )

[cosmic dagger]

you can't compare using an interface to SOs or inheritance as they just restrict what members you have access to from a type. the better question is, should you use inheritance vs composition?

[dark laurel]

But if you're asking this question - start extremely simple and try ScriptableObjects first. Polymorphism and Interfaces is gonna getcha and not really advance "making fun shit" that quickly.. you'll just be staring at code and documentation without really seeing or understanding why you're doing what you're doing. 🙂

[median hound]

how do i set a sting to a blank value? creating the line " private string ""; " gives me errors

[dark laurel]

you need to name it first

private string myString = "";

[amber spruce]

IEnumerator JumpDelay()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f);
    OnLanding();
    Debug.Log("JumpDelay");
}

private void Update()
{
    Move();
    Crouch();
    Sprint();
    Jump();
    JumpDelay();
}

i never get the debug

anyone know why

[dark laurel]

or better

private string myString = string.Empty;

[median hound]

i completly forgot abt that part, ive just gotten back into this after like a year of not doing

tnx

[dark laurel]

You don't start coroutines by calling them, you start them.

StartCoroutine(JumpDelay());

[amber spruce]

i keep forgeting that lol

thank you so much

[cosmic dagger]

make sure to cache the coroutine so you can stop that specific one manually (if needed) . . .

[amber spruce]

how do i have it so it doesnt run it again till the current one finishes

i got it

[summer stump]

Have an if statement check a bool before starting the coroutine, and set the bool false inside. Then true when done

[amber spruce]

just had to place the iniitial one in the start function and have it inside the coroutine start itself

[summer stump]

That is one way for sure.

[round scaffold]

never heard of polymorphism but thanksies for the tips lol

[amber spruce]

i just found my first bug that is gonna just be a feature lol if you try and double jump instantly after landing from a previous jump you can only jump once auto fatigue lets go

[modest barn]

"... your game crashes in the first 20 seconds and force-restarts my PC..."

Quick question. With the TextMeshPro Dropdown object, with the onValueChanged() method that it automatically calls when, you guessed it, the selection changes. It is supposed to pass an integer that represents the current index of the choice selected, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. Below is a screenshot of what the Inspector window contains on the Dropdown object.

[median hound]

when i run this it dosent output anything?

ive never used inputs so i have no clue on what might the issue be

[modest barn]

Here the int is shown in the Inspector window but it always remains on 0, no matter what is selected. I followed a tutorial and this is exactly what they had.. can someone help me out?

[ivory bobcat]

The value is what is passed to the function subscribed

[modest barn]

public void OnValueChanged(int index)

I have this in my script

And that function is run whenever the dropdown selection changes

[ivory bobcat]

So when the value changes, it'll pass zero to the functions subscribing to the event.

So each object could potentially have a unique index value set in the inspector.

[modest barn]

So how can I have that value change respective to the index of the choice selected?

[teal viper]

Where do you can read string?

[modest barn]

How would I do that?

[static cedar]

Someone explained that empty quotations and empty quotations are the same.

[median hound]

im using inputField(TMP) other then that idk

[modest barn]

Yep.

[teal viper]

Well, you wrote that code. You should know.

[static cedar]

I was saying that they'll hold the same reference or intern anyways in compile time.
The equal operator will just do content equals so it doesn't say much.

[ivory bobcat]

The event calls all subscribed methods with the given value

[cosmic dagger]

an easy way is to store the coroutine in a variable. before you start the coroutine, check if the Coroutine variable is null. if so, then the coroutine is not running. when you call StartCoroutine, you assign the Coroutine variable . . .

private Coroutine _coroutine = null;

private void Start()
{
    if (_coroutine is null) _coroutine = StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
}

public IEnumerator MyCoroutine()
{
    yield return null;
    _coroutine = null;
}

[modest barn]

Cool. So how can I make this int field in the Inspector disappear and just have it pass in the index of the choice selected? I can't see an option to do that in the Inspector but I'm new to TMP so probably missing something somewhere

OHHH

I just selected the wrong thing

[ivory bobcat]

If you want to see the value when it's changed, you can also use https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0/api/TMPro.TMP_Dropdown.html#TMPro_TMP_Dropdown_value

[modest barn]

It depends on which OnValueChanged is selected here. That's my bad.

[summer stump]

Where is ReadStringInput called from?

[teal viper]

They don't know

[summer stump]

Oh yeah, I just read further down
It says 0 references, so....

[cosmic dagger]

you need to choose the dynamic method version . . .

[gaunt ice]

Why you check the string in update, not log the string when you get it and check it

[cosmic dagger]

whoops, i'm late . . .

[median hound]

ik that part, its being called from on end edit (script)

[modest barn]

Yeah, appreciate it though. I should've figured that out much sooner 😆

[summer stump]

Well show that
It says 0 references, so that is odd

[gaunt ice]

It passes a empty string when on end edit

The argument is not the actual text in inputfield

[median hound]

is it this box?

[gaunt ice]

Yes, this is empty and it always passes this empty string to your method

You have to reference the input field and get the input string

[median hound]

ah ok makes sense now, ill see what i can do

[quick ruin]

what is this called? not sure how to start to fix it

[median hound]

oh ye also the string does appear in this text box, would that be the thing im trying to refrence?

[gaunt ice]

Yes

[summer stump]

What is what called?

Oh, the visual clipping below the other?

This is really awful to view. Could you do a video from the computer itself instead of a phone, and show the inspector values of the two?

[gaunt ice]

It may due to floating point error when rendering in z buffer afaik, try to lift the red plane a bit higher,

[quick ruin]

now I learned its this, but still idk

[scenic cipher]

That is strange. Just to confirm, its not a game object?

[quick ruin]

all are planes*

[scenic cipher]

Ahh, what is the shader on the object's material?

[quick ruin]

Unlit Transparent for all

[summer stump]

Can you show the inspectors as requested. Also, it looks like they are being moved.
Just don't crop it, show the hierarchy and everything

[quick ruin]

nothing is moving its happening in scene editor as well

[scenic cipher]

I don't think anything is being moved, but it is strange

@quick ruin Could you try changing all of the shaders to Standard and see if it still happens? I wouldnt think it would be the shaders but I dont know what else could be causing that problem

[summer stump]

To me it clearly looks like the wooden material plane going up and down and side to side (or everything else is doing the opposite)
This is almost definitely not a shader issue though

It would be nice to just see the inspectors...

[quick ruin]

I put carpet to standard and it fixed, I guess I'll use this

[summer stump]

Well, I must have been wrong then.

[scenic cipher]

Is there any reason you were using the Unlit Transparent shader?

[quick ruin]

Im very new to cameras and shaders

[scenic cipher]

Yeah shaders can do some strange things, never expected that from Unlit Transparent considering I used it a few days ago with no issues

[median hound]

i cant figure out how to get the refrance, i thought i could use "public object refrance;" and then like call the text input string but it dont work

[scenic cipher]

Use [SerializedField] private TextMeshProUGUI textReference (Assuming your using TMPro)

[gaunt ice]

Tmp_inputfield

[median hound]

ill try that

[scenic cipher]

If its a TMP Input Field then use

[SerializedField] private TMP_InputField inputReference```

You may want to change the variable names to better suit what ever you're trying to do.

[median hound]

what is serialized field?

[scenic cipher]

It puts the variable in the inspector even if its private, its always best practice to keep variables private if possible.

[median hound]

ah ok tnx

[scenic cipher]

👍

[median hound]

so now its giving me an error sayign i cant use it as a string?

[scenic cipher]

First of all, that code is supposed to be SerializeField and not SerializedField, my bad.
What are you trying to use as a string?

[median hound]

so im trying to use the TMP_InputField refrance as a string to compare it to other strings

[scenic cipher]

Use inputReference.text to get the text. I would recommend you to learn about components.

[median hound]

ahh ok tnx

[modest barn]

How can I remove a [SerializeField] and get the object within the script itself? New to Unity and I'm used to just draggin' and droppin' 🙂

[scenic cipher]

What do you mean exactly?

[modest barn]

So currently I've got

[SerializeField] TMP_InputField plaintextInputField;

I want to remove the need for the serialized field at all and simply set TMP_InputField plaintextInputField = // Get GameObject or something like that. I'm assuming it can be done?

[summer stump]

https://unity.huh.how/references

You can check out all these ways to reference something

It sounds like you are wanting something more like Find, but I recommend against it
Drag and Drop is preferable. A serialized reference is very low cost and easy

[modest barn]

Why is dragging and dropping the best? Is there some practice I have to avoid?

[rich adder]

draggin' and droppin is usually best way, try use it when possible

[scenic cipher]

If the component is on the same GameObject as the script, you can do gameObject.GetComponent<TMP_InputField>();

If the component is on another gameobject, then just put it in the inspector with SerializeField

[summer stump]

It takes very little cpu usage to formalize that link when you hit play. Anything else is gonna take more. GetComponent is actually about the same cpu usage btw (edit: unless it fails to find it). I was surprised by that

Find uses a lot though, as it just loops over all gameobjects to find the right one

[modest barn]

That's good to know. Serializing is easiest of course so I'll just roll with it 🙂

[rocky canyon]

if not you have to search for it in the project one way or the other..
theres many different methods, but all are very similar and have to sift thru everything to find it

thats fine if u can do it only (once) like a level initialization or something.. but if you're using find methods frequently it'll slow ya down a lot.
so its easier and more performant to serialize and expose the variables and just drag and drop.. if you have some reference to it already that you can use to assign it in code there's no need.

[rich adder]

for Runtime components TryGetComponent and clever DI

[cosmic dagger]

No code is faster and easier than using code . . .

[scenic cipher]

Not if the component is on the same gameobject

[median hound]

is there a way to save this? i didnt save the work and now its not respoding?

[eternal needle]

look at unity temp folder online BEFORE you reopen unity. Your scripts saved regardless because they are external to unity

you can get a recent version of your scene back

[median hound]

ye ik scripts save. but its mostly the scene im woried for, also i cant find a folder called unity temp?

[median hound]

nvm i did find it but this is what i see

do i just run that or?

[rocky canyon]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-crashed-and-i-lost-almost-everything-how-to-recover-my-scene/220987

never done it b4, but seems like you could copy that file and rename it to a .unity file and thats ur scene but idk tbh, heres a post

[median hound]

ye i found a tut on yt but tnx

[severe robin]

hello, has any one used moonsharp for their project?

[rocky canyon]

b/c i is always zero so the loop runs forever b/c zero is less than 100

thats my guess ;D

[median hound]

ye i figured it out, forgot to add the if statement smh

[acoustic berry]

Is a Prefab able to dictate HOW it gets instantiated? As in, can it specify a list of parameters that must be provided in order to create one?

(at runtime this is)

[eternal needle]

you cant add parameters to instantiate, but you can add an Init method and just throw whatever parameters u want in there

[acoustic berry]

Does the Init method get called specifically directly after the Instantiate method? or is it one of the specially predefined ones that triggers itself on creation

Follow up question: Is there any risk in the time between it finishes the Instantiate method and the Init method? Any chance of a 1-frame visual-jank if im doing a size/color change?

[eternal needle]

you would have to call it on whatever script you want to define parameters on

[eternal needle]

not if you call it right away, there is no frames that will happen between

[acoustic berry]

alright thank you. I will implement it this way

[frozen mantle]

Hey all, i seem to be having trouble with a BinarySpacePartitioning algorithm, in that i am trying to add a "room offset" parameter that gives some space between the rooms im splitting, but it seems that while it does give me more space between rooms, it's making all of the rooms smaller, which if you turn up the offset highenough, leaves empty/"zero" space rooms. I took the algorithm from a youtube tutorial, and one of the comments bought up this issue, saying that its due to how in the "makeSimpleRooms" function, the for statements are only executed (room.size.x - offset - offset) times. This means that when the offset is greater than 0, it reduces your available space by 2 * offset for both the width and height. The comment mentions that a simple fix could be to include the offset into the BinarySpacePartitioning() parameters, but I'm a bit lost on how exactly to do that. I've tired to add or multiply the dungeon size by the offset, but this still leads to microscopic rooms if the offset is high enough. Do you all have any suggestions? here are the scripts and some pics of the issue, thanks for your time.
https://gdl.space/vibibahiyo.cs , https://gdl.space/oqajizujol.cs

"oqajizujol" is the actual binary space partitioning algo, while "vibibahiyo" is the driver code that i stick onto the game object to run the generator with the variable parameters

[frozen mantle]

if this question is more than "beginner code" let me know

[gaunt ice]

passing minWidth+offset*2 and minHeight+offset*2 to the partitioner?

[frozen mantle]

lemme see if that helps

[frozen mantle]

I think i've already tried this, and while it doesn't make the rooms all puny anymore, it makes it so there's less of them, and the rooms are bigger now as offset increases

i think what i want to happen is that the algo makes the rooms first, and then seperates them out by the offset

[gaunt ice]

you can put the AABB inside "other AABB", while "other AABB"s are the output of the partitioner
then you dont need to change your algorithm

[frozen mantle]

actually on close inspection, the rooms aren't bigger, but rather there is just less of them because the space in between them are taking up the total dungeon space

if that makes sense

[gaunt ice]

just pass minWidth+offset (without*2) as well as height+offset
then the room's AABB will be min=output.min+(offset/2), max=output.max-(offset/2)

[frozen mantle]

what do you mean by AABB?

[gaunt ice]

fancy name of rect

axis-aligned bounding box

[frozen mantle]

who the heck calls em that

fair enough tho, i understand

[gaunt ice]

you can rotate a rect but not a AABB btw, it has to be aligned with the axis

[frozen mantle]

oh, i see, strange

[frozen mantle]

so i changed it to only add offset (without doubling it)_to both minWidth and minHeight, but i still get some room shrinkage if offset is set too high

I think my algorithm is good, just that i am not implementing the offset properly

essentially what im picturing in my head is to split the rooms, and then seperate out their positions by my offset

[gaunt ice]

if the offset is too high than the area have to be large enough....
imagine offset=area width or height

[frozen mantle]

i think what im doing by just adding offset to the minWidth and height is just making is so that there's the proper space in between them, but that space takes up the dungeon size

[frozen mantle]

yeah exactly

so i probably wanna find a way to increase the dungeon area too

so yeah, the BSP algo works

just that the offset i need to figure out how to properly integrate

[rigid hinge]

guys why the monitor shows in scene and doesnt show in game?

i tried to make a raycast but it glitched my game

this is the code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class PCInteraction : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    public Camera cam;
    public float playerActiveDistance;
    bool active = false;
    public GameObject interaction;
    public GameObject pc;
    public GameObject pausemenu;
    public GameObject bg;
    public LayerMask mask;

    private void Start()
    {
        cam = GetComponent<Camera>();
    }
    void Update()
    {
       Ray ray = new Ray(cam.transform.position, cam.transform.forward);
       Debug.DrawRay(ray.origin, ray.direction * playerActiveDistance);
       RaycastHit hitInfo;
       if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hitInfo , playerActiveDistance, mask))
       {
            interaction.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
                pc.SetActive(true); 
                interaction.SetActive(false);
                Time.timeScale = 1;
            }

            else{                 
                Time.timeScale = 1;
                interaction.SetActive(false);
            }
         }

         if(pc.activeInHierarchy == true)
        {
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Confined;
            Cursor.visible = true;
         }
       }

}

and when i change the layer to default it appears and disappear when i make it interactable

[frozen mantle]

i would think it has to do with your culling mask on your camera

how does your culling mask look?

[rigid hinge]

ah oh it worked

thx

[frozen mantle]

Yeeee

[fringe plover]

My character is super slow with time.deltaTime, how to fix that?

[gaunt ice]

the unit of velocity is ms^-1, when you multiply it with time, the unit becomes ms^-1 * s=m
no need to multiply it with time

[fringe plover]

I'm making a database for an MMO game (that could possible have thousands of players)
The database is MySQL
I want to make an Items table, that just holds the playerId, itemId, and a list of ItemModIds
The ItemMods table will then hold the item stats (name, dmg, armor, level requirement, ...) each mod has it's unique Id to reference

1. Would it be better to make a 3rd table that holds just ItemId and ModId that stores all the mods for each item
2. Or would it be better to add more columns in my Item table so that table can have all the ModIds

1 would reduce the columns in my Item table but the 3rd table would become HUGE, having to store several rows of mods for each item
2 would reduce the amount of rows in my database, but my Items table would hold a much larger amount of data (references)

[timber tide]

oh no mmo

[burnt vapor]

You should always follow atleast 2NF when implementing a database: https://medium.com/@GeneHFang/normalization-of-database-schema-1st-2nd-and-3rd-normal-forms-3f4d18b857d3

So yes, make a third table that stores the item mods

The whole point is avoiding repetitive data, even here

[keen dew]

What's your definition of "huge"? MySQL handles comfortably hundreds of millions of rows

[topaz mortar]

don't worry it's not a real MMO 😛

[topaz mortar]

One can only hope that will not be enough 🙂

[burnt vapor]

If you generally avoid a feature because you're afraid of the performance, then stop worrying and just add it. You can always improve it later

But if you start limiting yourself now with hacks to make it more performant, often you will have a harder time fixing it

[timber tide]

I feel like databases though are one of the harder things to improve upon once you've made them into a spiderweb

[topaz mortar]

Ah not trying to take shortcuts here, just wondering what the optimal design is

[burnt vapor]

Databases themselves even have a ton of optimizations and functionalities if you really care, but you most likely will scale your data in the future and you should make it as accessible as possible

So don't cut corners basically 😄

[topaz mortar]

I was thought database normalization in high school 20 years ago, but my brain can't handle it really
the link is much more clear though

[timber tide]

Was it the 3rd form that's ideal but it's unlikely to do so you settle for 2nd form? I forget

[burnt vapor]

For what it's worth, if you use EntityFramework you just shape your classes and this is how the database will look like

Then you don't even need to worry about it, because it will be done for you

[topaz mortar]

there were actually 5 forms when I first learned it

maybe 4

[burnt vapor]

Code first 🔛 🔝

I believe there are four

But I honestly forgot about the definitions until your question

Mostly it just comes with experience

[topaz mortar]

is EntityFramework something I should use? don't even know what it is, I saw it once before here and quickly looked at it, but it seems pretty complex

[burnt vapor]

In short it's a way to shape your database using a code first approach, where your tables are defined by the c# classes that implement the data

Then, using Linq, you write your queries

[queen adder]

Can we grab all asset, dirty them, then SaveAssets just for fun?

[burnt vapor]

More complex operations can just be called using regular SQL queries but EF saves the hassle of shaping your database

Not to mention it has a build in system for migrations so it can define updates to your database to update to or rollback from

[acoustic berry]

So a game object has 2 child objects that its script will need references to, in order to call getters and setter functions. This gameobject is the only thing in the game thats responsible for the 2 child objects, nothing else needs to mess with them. Normal coding convention would tell me to make them private references...

I could make them a public reference and just drag and drop in the slider

Is it normal in Unity to have some references be public when other coding standards would have them as private?

[gaunt ice]

serializefield private

[wary sigil]

if two scenes are loaded is it possible to reference an object in one scene in the other

[humble condor]

yes

[wary sigil]

how would i do that

becaus drag and dropping into public variables does not work

[rare basin]

singleton

or any other way from many possible

[gaunt ice]

all previous objects are destroyed unless they are in ddol scene or the scene is loaded as additive

Oh mb

[hexed terrace]

There are solutions out there to allow cross scene references, like this one https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/guid-based-reference

[crisp jetty]

do you guys know anything about broken audio issues? for some reason, the sound of the character attacking gets insanely broken and loud. It even overrides other audios that happened to overlap it

WARNING LOUD VOLUME

it only happened at the enemy attack sound, all the other sound is fine, so i figured it had something to do with the code?

[nimble scaffold]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float maxHealth = 100f;
    private float currentHealth;

    
    public Text healthText;

    

    void Start()
    {
        currentHealth = maxHealth;
        if (healthText == null)
        {
            healthText = GameObject.Find("HealthText").GetComponent<Text>();
        }
        UpdateHealthText(); 
    }

    // Rest of your script...

    void ApplyDamage(float damage)
    {
        currentHealth -= damage;
        UpdateHealthText(); 
        Debug.Log("Health reduced by: " + damage + ". Current Health: " + currentHealth);
    }

    void UpdateHealthText()
    {
        healthText.text = "Health: " + currentHealth.ToString() + "/100"; 
    }
}

this is the script and in this script my player cant deal with take damage when player falls ........ pls help me modify this code

[crisp jetty]

Nvm I found the solution, I put the sound on void update which means the sound literally repeats every frame

I think it can be fixed with animation event

[nimble scaffold]

help me about this one anyne pls

[rare basin]

but where are you calling htis methods

to take damage

does it print to console the debug log?

[nimble scaffold]

yeah it does but i want it that it shows in the screen also

that it takes damage and full health reduces

[timber tide]

The concept you're looking for is scrolling combat text. There's usually a few tutorials on that on youtube if you look about.

[queen adder]

I assume the New Text is the health display

and it's not updating, is the problem

[rare basin]

did you reference the text in the inspector?

also don't use Text its obsolete

[nimble scaffold]

hey everyone up here i will again starting my fps game project as i cant deal with the new input system of unity!!

deleted 🙂

@rare basin does the new input system effect the button system thingy??? for my case it did

[rare basin]

yes

[nimble scaffold]

Wish me good luck everyone especially @rare basin

now i made a blank 3d project rn.... so now will it use the general input system or new input system??

[rare basin]

wdym general input system

there is no such thing

it's either the old input system (which is not recommended) and the new one

[wintry quarry]

Why would you delete the project?

You can just change the input system

[nimble scaffold]

old

[nimble scaffold]

its much tricky

[wintry quarry]

Very simple. It's one switch in project settings

[rare basin]

we told him that several times

[nimble scaffold]

how can i??

[sonic remnant]

noel

[wintry quarry]

Switch Active Input handling in project settings

The only other things would be:

• changing all your code
• removing the input system input module from EventSystem objects and adding the StandaloneInputModule

[nimble scaffold]

the first one is matrix

[sonic remnant]

still facing the issue when my objects are colliding with my tree that its validtobebuild. i really don't know how to solve this. would love some help.

https://gdl.space/qaqivekawe.cs

[wintry quarry]

What?

[timber tide]

If you don't care too much about the absolute shape of it all, I'd just continuously cast and check using overlapbox

[sonic remnant]

how can i do that? @timber tide sorry for asking noobish questions.

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.OverlapBox.html

Same as raycasting but instead you do it in an area

I've seen it done with unity collider events though, but it does seem like one of those things you need to juggle flags around.

[sonic remnant]

do i need a whole new script or jsut add id to my constructable script?\

[timber tide]

oh wait you do check with overlap here, but why are you using the collider events too?

pick one or the other, you don't want to use both

[timber tide]

void Update()
{
    if(IsBuilding && !CheckForOverlap())
    {
        //There is no overlap so it's valid to build so build
    }
}```
Think of the logic like this

[atomic bison]

good morning, i have a question about a performance, everytime i launch my game i make a connection to my db and get a list with 10k entrys.... yes is weird, but i need it, the question is, it takes 2-3 seconds, but in order to improve this or get better performance, instead of populate a List everytime i launch my app, can i make an addressable to order entry and check content etc...?

[wintry quarry]

Always use the profiler

If the request itself takes 3 seconds there's little you can do.

If it's your code afterwards taking that time, it can be optimized

If it's the request you could look into pagination or streaming

Though I kinda doubt you actually need to get 10k rows in one request...

[ivory bobcat]

Also consider if accessing the db is the limiting factor. Adding to a list can have some cost if done frequently due to garbage collection but can be avoided by presetting a capacity large enough to accommodate what's to be added.

[quiet dune]

Good day, if I have a Script referencing a GameObject I know has a specific Script attatched to it, is there any more performant way to access the Scripts methods than using GetComponent on the GameObject?

[rich adder]

reference the script and its type directly

[SerializedField] private MyScript myScript

[quiet dune]

I forgot to mention that I'm getting the GameObject as a Collider via a Cast

But using a LayerMask, I know what I'm getting

[rich adder]

then get component is fine, but I would just replace it to TryGetComponent. Which is essentially the same thing but with a null check

[quiet dune]

Alright. Thanks 🙂

[sullen rock]

https://gdl.space/zafopomogi.cpp

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS0019 Operator '!=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Fish' and 'Fish'

Im sorry what?

[modest dust]

What exactly is Fish supposed to be?

Either way, just define a != operator for your Fish type and you're good

[burnt vapor]

I guess this needs an explicit comparison added if you really want this

I would advice you instead compare an inner property

[sullen rock]

Fish is a struct

[modest dust]

Then define a != operator

[sullen rock]

How would I do that?

[burnt vapor]

You can't compare two structs like that

Why would that work?

[rich adder]

or just make it a class..

[burnt vapor]

This only works with classes

Because you compare a reference

Structs do not have a reference

I would advice you instead compare an inner property

[rich adder]

thats why Unity has custom == for Vector3.

etc

[sullen rock]

I could do that

I'm not exactly sure what you meant by the reference, I'll read up on that, I thought the difference is basically just struct not having methods

[rich adder]

structs can most def have methods lol

[burnt vapor]

If you don't know what a reference is I HIGHLY suggest you stop using structs

Just use classes

[rich adder]

major difference is that structs are Value type

completely different ballgame how they get stored

major reason structs can never be null but class can

[burnt vapor]

The major difference is that classes are allocated on the heap and prone to garbage collection. Long story short this reduces performance compared to structs. It's a complex topic.

In laymans terms, if you pass a struct you create a copy and this means that any changes are only persisting in that copy and not the original, unlike classes which you pass around by reference and remains the same. This can cause major issues for obvious reasons, but the benefit is no allocation.

[sullen rock]

Feels like in this case the class will probably be the better solution, since I'm moving the data around quite a bit

Well, thanks for the explanation, I'll swap to a class and compare a unique property

[rich adder]

if you swap to class you can directly do == nd != on class itself

[sullen rock]

I know, but I'm not sure if that's the better than comparing a unique property of the class

can anyone help me in this problem
Thanks

[sonic remnant]

with no collider triggers and just the CheckOverlap function i still can't build and its not working. 😦

https://gdl.space/leqigobano.cs

https://gdl.space/gemufeqebu.cs

[rich adder]

#archived-networking

[timber tide]

Ignore the bools and just compare everything each update

oh wait sorry let me refine this

[sonic remnant]

no problem im glad that you are helping me

and i dont want to use IsBuilding, i want to use isValidToBeBuild, Because then i can build (build logic is in the construction manager)

is that okay?

HandleConstructionModeLogic() from the buildingmanager

maybe i need to change isValidToBeBuild to public bool isValidPlacement; in the construtable script?

[timber tide]

void Update()
{
    if(IsBuilding && CheckForOverlap())
    {
        //There is no overlap and there is ground so it's valid to build
    }
}

bool CheckOverlap()
{
    Collider[] colliders = Physics.OverlapBox(solidCollider.bounds.center, solidCollider.bounds.extents, transform.rotation, LayerMask.GetMask("Default"));

    isGrounded = false;

    foreach (Collider col in colliders)
    {
        if (col.CompareTag("Tree") || col.CompareTag("pickable"))
        {
            return false;
        }

        else if (col.CompareTag("Ground"))
        {
            isGrounded = true;
        }
    }

    return isGrounded;
}```
Do actually need a bool here if you're doing it by tags.

I'd suggest just use layer masks

but it should be doable as is

[sonic remnant]

do i need to change the IsBuilding to isValidPlacement?

[timber tide]

Problem with doing grounded here is I'd expect you to be able to build into the terrain, so you need additional logic for that. I wouldn't suggest it colliding with terrain to be valid. More that you want to know it's above the terrain enough to build.

Better yet just raycast from a point in front of your player downward and calculate that.

[sonic remnant]

but i have different objects to use in my constructionholder

[sonic remnant]

yes this is a problem aswell. i can build through the ground

but like i said. it has to work with the constructionmanager script aswell. that has the build activation.
https://gdl.space/gemufeqebu.cs

i would love to implement the raycasting function. 🙂 @timber tide

[timber tide]

If you've got a specific problem do post, but with what you got there I assume you've got a good idea.

[frozen mantle]

Now that some more people are waking up, just bumping this up to see if anyone has any suggestions on fixes to my issue here

Hello so I recently started Unity and have installed the c#, c# dev kit, and unity extension and selected vscode as the ide im using and I have installed .net however my code is not coloured in and will not recomend code to me related to c# it just brings random stuff up

[scenic cipher]

Hey I've been curious why some people prefer VSC over VS. Mind letting me know why you chose VSC?

[stark flint]

Well I have been using VSC since I started programming and VS has a worse layout

btw I had already done all those things navarone

[rich adder]

show your packages real quick

[rich adder]

screenshot console window in unity as well

[stark flint]

it is a new console nothing is in it yet

[rich adder]

alr did you try hitting Regen Project Files inside External tools ?

[stark flint]

this

[rich adder]

yup

[stark flint]

nothing changed

[rich adder]

open the script from unity, do you see anything in Output in VSC?

[summer stump]

Did you close vsc before clicking regenerate?

[stark flint]

yea

[rich adder]

weird says loaded

try opening up the .sln

[stark flint]

what is that

[rich adder]

its the solution file inside your project

[rich adder]

alr

[rich adder]

you tried restarting already?

[stark flint]

yea

[rich adder]

try to open the whole folder In VSCode

[stark flint]

i have

[rich adder]

clear output, do it again.
anything in output ?

[naive pumice]

hey when i retrieve text from TextMeshProUGUI and print the output, it always shows a ??? at the end of the string written in the text field, is that normal ?

[rich adder]

not likely lol show code

[naive pumice]

yes sure just a sec

[rich adder]

I recommend you just start using VS until you get that sorted somehow. Try combinations of restarting and, solution/cspro files then regen project files and open script from unity again.
it says it loaded...vscode bs as usual

[keen dew]

I can already tell that if it's an input field then the type is wrong

[stark flint]

but it happens on vs aswell

[naive pumice]

[SerializeField]
private TextMeshProUGUI emailInputTxtSignUp;

private void SignUp()
    {
        string finalEmail = emailInputTxtSignUp.text.Trim().Replace("???", "");

        if (finalEmail != "")
        {
            Debug.Log("Email sign up: " + finalEmail); 
        }
    }

And the debug log prints :

2023/11/30 16:56:11.088 3556 3682 Info Unity Email sign up: [e-mail]???

If i remove the Trim and Replace it also shows it, so i guess it may com from the Debug ?

[keen dew]

Yep. Input fields are TMP_InputField

[rich adder]

lol whyy would someone do this..

[naive pumice]

well i will check what it is haha i have started with unity few days ago

[polar acorn]

That text field wouldn't happen to be the one attached to an input box would it?

There's a very strange error with those that I found a few weeks ago and submitted a big report, lemme go find the Unicode character you have to replace for those

[naive pumice]

yes it does actually

[polar acorn]

.Replace("\u200B", "")

Use that instead of (or in addition to) trim

[keen dew]

TMP_InputField already excludes that character

[naive pumice]

oh thanks will try this

[keen dew]

The more general type picks up the entire element which includes a control character which is possibly the caret position

[polar acorn]

It didn't two weeks ago, but maybe a newer versions come out since then? Or I was on an older one

[naive pumice]

The TextComponent is the component i take the text from

thanks it works perfectly @polar acorn

[sonic remnant]

im one step further! the Tree detection works and i can now build with the raycast finally! only problem im facing right now is that i can build through a tree with my ghost object. here are the scripts and video. thank you community ❤️

[delicate portal]

How do I shoot 3 raycasts from a trasform? It's center, its feet level, and its head level?

I have scriptableObjects setup for this case, so I cant create just 2 transforms named feet, and head

Should be more complicated

[rare basin]

Why you can't, how are you going to determine the raycasts origin then

[verbal dome]

Not sure why you need a SO for that

[rare basin]

You can have SO for Raycast data's like range, layermask etc

[delicate portal]

I'm making a buildingSystem, and I have various furnitues, I only want the player to be able to place them if the 3 raycast returns true (it checks a layermask)

[rare basin]

But why would you do Raycast in there

Make a mono behaviour like building detector

Don't do it in the so

[verbal dome]

Would be cleaner to do the raycast in a monobehaviour

And use settings from the SO

[verbal dome]

Use a list of vectors, or a list of structs that hold a position vec and a direction vec

[rare basin]

That's not rly a good approach

[delicate portal]

I'm not using the SO

[rare basin]

Better to use the transforms so you can rotate them and position easily

And just do forward as the direction

[verbal dome]

I dont like polluting my scene with extra gameobjects so I use simple data for stuff like this

But transforms are easier, yes. Banan said they cant use transforms though - why is that? Isnt there a prefab involved that you can add the transforms to?

@delicate portal

[rare basin]

I don't see how is using scriptable objects blocking him to make 3 transform as he said

[delicate portal]

I have a building ghost with a meshrenderer, and each time I click on a button, with(for example) a bed icon on it, it switches the mesh to the bed. I want the 3 raycasts position to change dinamically depenmding where is the center, feet, and the head. If select a table, thats another mesh.

I hope its clear

[verbal dome]

Use 3 transforms that you put in the player 🤷‍♂️

Then raycast from each of those. Can put them in a list/array and do it in a loop too

[fierce mortar]

I want to make a top down shooter, should i put the shooting script in the same script with the movement script because of things like recoil

[verbal dome]

You could keep them separate but add a method like AddKnockBack to the movement script that you can call from the shooting script

[desert elm]

is there a way to compare all the entries in a list and pick the highest/lowest one?

[rich adder]

ofc.
imo linq quickest

[desert elm]

thanks

[wintry quarry]

sure, write a for loop.

[queen adder]

Hi all, how can I have objects I pick up keep their rotation prior to being picked up?
https://i.gyazo.com/0dbe666dc643e813c8ce7d1a36da8d94.gif

I could have a seperate parent on the physics object with a different rotation to the actual object, but it seems like a very roundabout way of fixing something that could probably be done in 2 lines of code

[rich adder]

so just remove the MoveRotation?

[queen adder]

I still want it to rotate with the camera

[rich adder]

cant you just parent it to player /cam then?

[queen adder]

parenting is very wonky with physics

causes it to ghost through walls and the likes

[rich adder]

true. you can try using just velocity to move it from prev pos - new pos

[queen adder]

I just need to try and sort of snapshot the start point, and set that to the rotation

But a parent - child with seperate rotations might actually be the best way

[ruby python]

Can you not just disable physics on the object when you pick it up and re-enable when you drop it?

[rich adder]

its ugly because it goes through walls

[ruby python]

Ah fair point.

Or lock the constraints?

[queen adder]

I still want it to move relative to the camera, just not reset the rotation once picked up

[rich adder]

you tried setting holdarea.rotation to pickup item rotation first?

[desert elm]

just do a comparison check on all three and update a variable is lower?

[ruby python]

Might be wrong, but record the rotation, parent to player, set the rotation to the recorded rotation?

[queen adder]

Holdarea rotation is just a get of a transform attached to where my characters holds stuff

[desert elm]

Is it possible to set a gameobject as a variable?

[rich adder]

ya lol

[rare basin]

lol

[rich adder]

not very useful but sure

[queen adder]

That might work

[novel shoal]

rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
rb.AddForce(Vector3.up*1000);
Debug.Log("force added");
the Debug.log line works, but it doesn't add any force
the object has a rigidbody

[queen adder]

Yes it worked

https://i.gyazo.com/40bb56e5ff21f25ebc28711468dc9a36.gif

[desert elm]

oh
I mostly just want to set another gameobject in the scene as a variable whos position I can track

[ruby python]

Yaaay, I helped. lol.

[novel shoal]

pls

[rare basin]

if the debug log works, it adds the force

if the rb is referenced

[rich adder]

yeah valid I just used to use Transform if they dont have a script on them

it don't matter they both work fine , if they do have scripts on them though mind as well reference that

[ruby python]

@novel shoal Try increasing/decreasing the mass on the rigidbody.

[novel shoal]

i am literally doing what it does in the learn.unity pathway, but there the object jumps, here it doesn't

[ruby python]

And the drag maybe

[novel shoal]

i tried both with 1 and 70

same result

[queen adder]

(For anyone Searching for a similar issue in the Search bar this was the resolution)
Added a gameObject as a sibling to the hold area.
Once object is being picked up, set the new object to the rotation of the hold area then parent it to the hold are.
Then replace the moveRotation hold area to the new object's rotation.
Then just unparent it once you're dropping the object

[summer stump]

Are you setting velocity somewhere else? Or is the rb kinematic?

[novel shoal]

now it works, and i have no idea why, i literally changed nothing

[rich adder]

@queen adder thats kinda doing what i said no? with an extra step?

[queen adder]

Yeah what you said worked

[rich adder]

oh ok lol

[novel shoal]

navarone new pfp lol

[desert elm]

do i need to reference the scripts as well even if I just want the transform?

[queen adder]

I'm just detailing it for A) myself when I inevitably run into this again and B) anyone who's searching for help in my shoes

[rare basin]

answer yourself

[rich adder]

no but if you have script on them and a refence to it already, you can just do .transform

every MonoBehaviour has access to their .gameObject and .transform respectively

[wintry quarry]

If you just want the Transform then just use Transform directly. No need for GameObject as an intermediary

[desert elm]

how do you use the transform directly?

[wintry quarry]

Transform

make a variable of that type

like you would any other variable

[rich adder]

😏 yeah Transform is a type as well

[desert elm]

I
Still have absolutely no idea how making a transform variable will help me find the transform value of another game object

[wintry quarry]

you assign it to the object

This is Unity 101.

public Transform theObjectIWant;```
Then drag and drop in the inspector to assign it

"transform value" is a weird phrase too

Transform is a component. That component has things like position and rotation

[desert elm]

I know what transform is

[timber tide]

time for unity courses

[desert elm]

I already did those

[wintry quarry]

then you skipped the most important parts

go again

Basic variable assignment and referencing is like the most important thing

[summer stump]

I'm confused how making a reference to a Transform would NOT help you access that objects transform..

[summer stump]

This is a great resource that may help! I always recommend it
https://unity.huh.how/programming/references

What they are discussing is a "serialized reference". Also called a "drag and drop" reference pretty often

[desert elm]

yeah wait a moment talking with someone I can actually understand

[wintry quarry]

(it's probably ChatGPT)

[desert elm]

No its a person who speaks slovak and codes

[wintry quarry]

Ah there's a language barrier

[desert elm]

Yeah- and yeah it was simple just had no idea what you were saying because I cannot understand english well at midnight, sorry

[rare basin]

its 8PM in slovakia

wdym midnight

[summer stump]

People can live different places...

[rare basin]

no

[frosty hound]

Discord user discovers there are, in fact, people living in multiple timezones. 🤯

[rare basin]

cringe

[polar acorn]

Breaking news: People can sometimes live outside of the place they are from

[rare basin]

breaking news discord users are mostly cringy af

[summer stump]

No, that's apparantly cringy 🤡
God.. some people

[desert elm]

not living in slovakia rn
georgia instead

[novel shoal]

wait, so there are other timezones than CET? (jk, don't take me seriously)

[polar acorn]

Our top story tonight: local discord user in straight damage control mode trying desperately to pretend they aren't upset

[rare basin]

get some pills mate and chill damn

[short hazel]

Telling people they are cringe while looking up the time to see if they were lying or not. Ironic

[rare basin]

i didin't look anything but k 😄

[summer stump]

Irony at its highest lmfao. But yeah, I'm done

[forest karma]

When pressing play, my enemy navmesh agent's patrol point seems to moving extremely far away. how can i fix this?
here is the code
https://hastebin.com/share/ogitesimel.csharp

[desert elm]

the biggest problem for me was that this bit wasn't showing up in the inspector because I had yet to update the script
man sometimes I am stupid

[polar acorn]

When you say patrol point, do you mean the variable itself has an extreme value or that the nav mesh is going somewhere you don't expect based on the value of the patrol point variable

[forest karma]

The 2nd bit

[polar acorn]

I would suggest logging the target position every time you set it. See which function is called the most recent, it could be that your chase or attack states are overwriting your patrol point destination

[stark flint]

Hello I am writing some code to allow the user to move and test interaction however my character is not moving https://pastebin.com/2APzENgB

[vague furnace]

how can i make it so random range doesnt generate same values

[prime lodge]

Why it doesnt work
U is float btw

[languid spire]

because 0.001 is a double

[prime lodge]

iam stupid sorry

[languid spire]

make a list of your numbers, chose from that list, remove a number from the list when selected

[vague furnace]

im very new to coding how should i do that

[languid spire]

what about it do you not understand?

[novel shoal]

transform.Translate(Vector3.leftTime.deltaTimespeed);
this doesn't move an object wtf

[vague furnace]

how do i do list

[novel shoal]

(the speed is a public float 30f)

[languid spire]

now you need to go look at the C# docs on List

[novel shoal]

public typeofthelist[] nameofthelist

[languid spire]

no that is an array not a List

[novel shoal]

oh lol

[desert elm]

is it possible to use Contains
but the inverse i.e check if it doesn't contain x?

[languid spire]

Contains returns a bool so, yes

[desert elm]

oh thanks didnt know that

[austere monolith]

https://hastebin.com/share/olaxunabut.csharp https://hastebin.com/share/licudumedo.csharp when i try attaching the exact same scripts for another gun, the game glitches, for example when i drop the already equipped weapon, it just freezes randomly in the air, and when i pick up the other one it starts following my camera in a weird orientation, plus even when i dont have it equipped, it follows my camera

[normal slate]

Hey I am working on this project right now and I need to figure out a way to equip and unequip this weapon does anyone know how to store the position and rotation based on the parent obect in this situation:

So the gun is what I want to equip and unequip

[wintry quarry]

localPosition and localRotation?

[normal slate]

oh

uh just a second

i cant find it give me a few

do i need to run a command to grab that?

[austere monolith]

k ill find it out

[normal slate]

OH I SEE

so its like saved on the child so if i store those values ahhh i see thanks it auto does it for me so i just copy paste the positions and rotations from the transform sweet thats so nice

[rocky canyon]

solid colliders 👍

[normal slate]

is that a joke XD

[rocky canyon]

nah

[normal slate]

oh thanks haha

[rocky canyon]

but i do question whether it'd be better to just have a bigger circle overlap the player and some of their hands

[normal slate]

i see what you mean but for accuracy sake this seems to work best for me right now

[normal slate]

let me show you what I mean

[rocky canyon]

b/c it seems like you'd have a good Snag point

for something like this

[normal slate]

Oh i see what you mean now

[rocky canyon]

like the two colliders could get hung up b/c they stick out past the player

but yea.. just an thought i wanted to share with ya

[normal slate]

yeah ill do that thanks

[rocky canyon]

do w/e working 👍

cool little character tho 😄

[normal slate]

thanks haha

like this?

i kinda am thinking I remove the gun colider all together maybe

[rocky canyon]

reminds me of these guys 😄

sometimes came with a school bus that looked like an egg carton 😄

[rocky canyon]

seems okay.. it being offcenter may matter if u were using physics and stuff.. maybe more centered if that becomes a problem..

if its not a problem looks good to me 👍

[rocky canyon]

perfect!

[normal slate]

how big of an impact does it have because

I can also do this

[rocky canyon]

having multiple colliders isnt really a problem performance wise.. i was just worried about it getting snagged when rotating

using a single collder like that would prevent that

[normal slate]

oh yeah I get what you mean

like the gun would have an issue you would force some sort of movement on the player while rotating yeah

makes sense thanks 🙂

[rocky canyon]

mmhm

[unborn sinew]

    private void Update()
    {
        torque = input.Player.Turn.ReadValue<float>() * 0.1f;
        thrust = input.Player.Thrust.ReadValue<float>();
        isDamping = input.Player.Damp.ReadValue<float>() != 0f;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (isDamping)
        {
            rb.velocity *= dampStrength;
            rb.angularVelocity *= dampStrength;
        }

        if (torque != 0f)
        {
            rb.AddTorque(torque);
        }

        if (thrust != 0f)
        {
            rb.AddRelativeForce(transform.up * thrust * propulsionForce);
        }
    }

When I play (gravity set to zero btw), and do some rotation, the thrust direction changes to a direction which is not forward. It is kinda forward, but angled slightly. What's the possible cause?

[forest karma]

I keep having an error saying ""SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh."
Even though I have assigned the robot onto the baked navmesh, How can I fix this error?

[rocky canyon]

normally happens when the navmesh agent is too far from the ground

[forest karma]

Let me show u the navmesh bake

[short hazel]

Your enemies are under a parent object, that might be the cause?

[wintry quarry]

AddRelativeForce with transform.up is wrong

[forest karma]

Ah ur right

It's under an empty gameovject

[wintry quarry]

AddRelativeForce is meant to be used with a local direction vector but transform.up is a world space vector. Use either:
AddForce(transform.up) or AddRelativeForce(Vector3.up);

[forest karma]

Oh yeah. How do I fix the robot floating. I'm using transform.LookAt.

[wintry quarry]

adjust the LookAt position to be at the same y position as the robot

[forest karma]

Wait no the error still shows

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

Vector3 lookAtMe = target.position;
lookAtMe.y = robot.transform.position.y;
robot.transform.LookAt(lookAtMe);```

[scenic cipher]

Do you have a navmesh built for that AI type?

[forest karma]

Wdym

[rocky canyon]

u should probably only be rotating the graphics of the navmeshagent.. and keepin the main agent straight up and down.. rotation could be kicking the feet up off the ground

[unborn sinew]

Thank you

[forest karma]

That orange lines is the navmesh bake

[rocky canyon]

looks like its up above the ground plane to me

[short hazel]

The nav mesh is under the enemy? wat

Ah no it's under that empty parent

[forest karma]

No I moved it

[scenic cipher]

I don't see the the baked navmesh 🤔

[forest karma]

And it's still got error

[unborn sinew]

Oh, thank you

[rocky canyon]

a properly baked mesh should appear blue when in the navigation panel

[scenic cipher]

@forest karma Just to confirm, the Robot is type Humanoid?

[forest karma]

Yea

In the navmesh agent component

[scenic cipher]

Click "Bake" again, it doesn't look like it is baked

@forest karma What is the layer on your ground?

[rocky canyon]

i need to fiddle with the new versions of unity..

im out of hte loop on navmesh's and their new functionallity

[forest karma]

whatIsGround

That's my layer on the ground

[rocky canyon]

!sky

i use static tickbox for my navmesh but like i said.. not used the newer versions.. but that was always an ez way for me get one up and workin

[scenic cipher]

@forest karma Hmm, what if you tried setting it to include all layers in the NavMeshSurface?

[scenic cipher]

Static isn't needed in the newer AI version

[rocky canyon]

nice..

what version of unity do u use elctro?

[scenic cipher]

2022.x

[forest karma]

That just breaks it

[scenic cipher]

Can you be more specific please?

[rocky canyon]

cool, thnx

[forest karma]

My enemy goes really far away

Constantly

[scenic cipher]

Is it giving you that error you had before?

[forest karma]

Yes

[scenic cipher]

How is the enemy moving if its unable to find the navmesh 🤔

[forest karma]

It doesn't move anymore when I sid everything for layers

[scenic cipher]

Was it moving before?

[forest karma]

That was just me accidently using Nothing as layer

Even on nothing

It still gives error and doesn't move

Wtf

Should I show you my script/components

[scenic cipher]

Can you select NavMeshBake object and send another picture please

Also, are you using the new or old AI system?

[forest karma]

Dont know, just followed tutorial

Here is the enemy components

[scenic cipher]

It seems like an issue with the NavMeshSurface since it should be showing blue on the ground

[forest karma]

Yes

Ur right

Should the navmesh not be a child of the enemy?

instead a parent?

[scenic cipher]

You could try, but it shouldn't matter

[slender nymph]

it should be neither technically

[scenic cipher]

Can you open the Package Manager and search "ai" and tell me the version you're using? I'm not familiar with the old version

[forest karma]

This?

[scenic cipher]

Change it to "In Project" or "Unity Registry" and search again

[forest karma]

Nothing showing lol

Wait I imported the navmesh file by dragging it into my project

[slender nymph]

yeah they are using the 1.0 version before it was a package that needed to be installed separately

[forest karma]

From github

[scenic cipher]

Is AI Navigation 2.0 available on Unity 2021?

[elder atlas]

I believe so

actually im mistaken

[scenic cipher]

@forest karma Can you try setting the ground to Static? Like I said earlier I'm not familiar with the old AI Navigation but I know Static must be ticked for something.

You should also consider upgrading to Unity 2022

[elder atlas]

the old navigation is weird I had so many issues getting it to work properly

[forest karma]

Guys I think it's just something small so

Coz even thr bake should be blue

[scenic cipher]

You should still use the updated AI Navigation 😬

Is Static ticked on for the ground game object?

[forest karma]

Yep

Do u want to se ecode

[scenic cipher]

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the code unless the code is moving the enemy off of the navmesh

@forest karma When you select the NavMeshSurface object there is a white box, can you confirm the ground is inside of it?

[forest karma]

its an orange box

looks like its in for me

[scenic cipher]

I only see a white box... But that looks correct, hmm

Actually it may be orange

@forest karma I'm really not sure what is causing that error, everything looks correct.

[hidden sun]

hi, any idea why my obj is disappearing? when i press click

nvm, i forgot to set z to 0

[forest karma]

This doesnt seem to work

[rocky canyon]

can't be disappearing.. its just appearing somewhere else

in playmode select the object in the hierarchy and press F it will focus on it and show u where it is

[scenic cipher]

They figured it out

[hidden sun]

i solved mysellf

[rocky canyon]

u can debug the transform position and figure out where its going and why

[hidden sun]

z was -10

ty anyway

[rocky canyon]

np good stuff

[forest karma]

How can I make my robot have the correct y position when looking at my player to shoot

[rocky canyon]

use the player's Y position to look at

[forest karma]

private void AttackPlayer()
    {
        enemyAI.SetDestination(transform.position);//Enemy will stop moving when attacking
        transform.LookAt(player);//Enemy will look at the player when attacking

[scenic cipher]

You need to rotate just the Y axis not all 3

[rocky canyon]

i used projectile bullets.. so i would spawn the bullet.. rotate it towards the player and then fire it forward 😄

then the actually enemies direction doesnt matter as much.. just gotta get it ballpark lol

[forest karma]

how

[scenic cipher]

Try this,

transform.LookAt(new Vector3(player.transform.position.x, transform.position.y, player.transform.position.z));```

[rocky canyon]

u can manually change individual properties..

like transform.position.x = floatValue; for example

[forest karma]

Doesnt work lol, bro thinks he is a penguin

[scenic cipher]

Try this.

        transform.LookAt(new Vector3(transform.position.x, player.transform.position.y, transform.position.z));```

[rocky canyon]

^ my favorite little hack

[forest karma]

Yes he is in the right direction now

But why is he in the ground??

[rocky canyon]

although i do it reverse.. i use the transforms, y position so it always looks forward.. that way if the player is above or below him he dont do no crazy rotations lol

ur graphics are probably mis-aligned

just take the graphics and move them upwards?

[forest karma]

Yeah, but i dont like the new line of code since it ruins my projectile shooting now

[scenic cipher]

Yeah I believe that is what I'm also doing although it didn't seem to work for him.

[rocky canyon]

pivot points and stuff

i think its probably how u have the enemy constructed..

the parents forward probably isnt eh same as the enemy model's forward

[forest karma]

https://paste.myst.rs/6y6vmdf2

Thats the whole code if u wantd to see it

[rocky canyon]

so when the parent looks forward.. the enemy gets rotated facing downards

[scenic cipher]

@forest karma Check the NavMeshAgent collision, you may need to change the offset or scale

[frozen mantle]

asking just one more time to see if anyone has any suggestions, if not, that's fair

[plain elbow]

how much coding experience do you need to start using unity? im new to game development and don’t really have coding experience other than HTML and some python.

[rocky canyon]

everyone starts with zero unity experience..

if u have code experience at all u got a headstart

[timber tide]

sounds like you have more experience than those with no coding knowledge so you're ahead of the curve

[scenic cipher]

You should learn the basics of coding/C#, but other than that you don't need any. Unity can be a great place to start 🙂

[forest karma]

Yea ur right

Im not sure how to fix it in blender though

[scenic cipher]

You could create a parent game object

[rocky canyon]

thats outside my knowledge.. id suggest posting in a more advanced room.. or maybe making a unity thread about it..

[plain elbow]

okay, thank you! honestly wasn’t sure. 😭

[forest karma]

it is parented

[rocky canyon]

since its a whole system that you have already

[timber tide]

starting unity without knowledge of constructors and objects is asking to fail

[rocky canyon]

you learn thru failures tho

[frozen mantle]

am i... ready to move up to #archived-code-general ???

[scenic cipher]

How so?

[frozen mantle]

[timber tide]

imagine trying a new language out and you're wondering how to instantiate objects

[frozen mantle]

Carby = level up

[rocky canyon]

lol, for a complex system like room generation.. u probably would have more luck there tbh

[scenic cipher]

Yes, I don't think any of us understand what you're trying to do haha

[frozen mantle]

fair enough, i'll post there

should i delete my post here? i don't wanna get done in for cross posting

[rocky canyon]

i had a friend make a system like that.. took him weeks to trouble shoot all the little problems here and there

def a process

[scenic cipher]

I don't think it would be cross-posting considering its been 8+ hours since you posted that.

[rocky canyon]

ya, it'll be good and buried by the time u get an answer most likely lol

i mean..

shouldn't be too hard imo

the terminology would be trickier.. but u learn that as u expose urself to the mechanics

[frozen mantle]

yeah i think understanding objects and instantiation is pretty easy, it's just that beginners get jumbled up by terms

[rocky canyon]

start with tutorials.. unity learn perhaps.. get ur bearings around the engine.. make a simple as possible game from following others..
(now you have a grasp on whats going on).. adapt what you've learned to make exactly what you want. research the things specifically that you get hung up on..

rinse and repeat.. and you're golden

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel
perhaps you want #🏃┃animation

[shell zephyr]

Thanks!

[tender stag]

if i have scriptable objects called ItemData

how do i find all of them here

is it even possible?

theres no scriptable objects

[scenic cipher]

@tender stag A ScriptableObject is a Script. It would be under Script

[tender stag]

i need like these

not the actual scripts

yeah i dont think its possible

nevermind

[slender nymph]

if you want to find instances of that kind of object, then search t:ItemData

[tender stag]

oh yeah

alright thanks man

[lone sable]

Any idea why when using IDeselectHandler (And Select) and IPointerDownHandler(And Up) that when OnPointerDown is called, and I move the mouse (Still within the bounding box) that OnDeselect gets called?

[timber tide]

Perhaps events are being consumed

or maybe can see if current gameobject that's selected isn't changing if you're using other events

[lone sable]

Hmm. I shall dig into it more.

I was sort of hoping somoene was going to say "Yeah thats just unity being unity."

[feral mirage]

There are always things to do which can circumvent stuff. It's all about figuring it out.

[timber tide]

I do dislike these interfaces but I cant be bothered implementing them myself. Especially the drag interfaces.

[lone sable]

Dug into it more, its actually OnPointerUp thats being called for some reason...

[willow pike]

Hello, im developing a procédurale video game map and I have a problem with shaders. (I’m new on unity) . I made perlin’s Algorithm and due to the height of my map, I want to applicate a specific shader. (Water, sand, grass…) but, a mesh can only have a single shader. So what am I supposed to do if I want to applicate different shaders to my different height of my map. For now, I just applicate a color to my different height. Thank you for answer ! 🙂

[timber tide]

They're just textures, why do you need multiple shaders?

[willow pike]

Well I have a good grass shader I design, same for water and I can’t applied both to a single mesh.

[teal viper]

Water and grass should probably be a separate object/mesh.

[willow pike]

I don’t understand, because my noise is generate with some different height. And I say in unity if height > 0.1 then put color blue. And it looks like a nice start of à Map. But grass water sand etc are in the same shader and is a unique material. So I’m a bit stuck

[lone sable]

Found a fix for this, which is by far the dumbest thing.. but.. Adding IDragHandler and public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData) { } (Even if its empty) fixes the problem.

So, it was indeed, a "Unity being Unity" problem.

[willow pike]

Would you be able to help me ?

[timber tide]

you sure it's not just vertex coloring parts of your mesh?

what makes this a shader and not a surface texture / vertex coloring

[teal viper]

Usually procedural generation involves more than generating one mesh. You'd usually have a virtual representation of you world in the form of chunks/cells grid. You would then use different systems to generate terrain, water, grass and what not.@willow pike

[willow pike]

My shader is in a material but I want to apply it on my mesh but I just found that in mesh renderer I can apply multiple materials

[teal viper]

You can do that with submeshes yeah. But that isn't really different from generating several separate meshes.

[round scaffold]

I want to make an item drag and drop system, but for some reason the drag interfaces wont event register my clicks at all am i missing somethin stupid again

[slender nymph]

is this component attached to a UI object or a world space object?

[round scaffold]

https://gyazo.com/365086fd4936b9e4d61f901c3686dd78

ui object

[slender nymph]

and you have an event system in the scene?

[round scaffold]

yes

[slender nymph]

then look at the event system's preview window and see if it is detecting your object or if something else is possibly blocking the raycast from the mouse

[round scaffold]

deactivated every other ui canvas and made sure anything else was either off or out of the way still doesnt register my clicks

[slender nymph]

and have you checked the preview window of the EventSystem to see if it is detecting anything?

[round scaffold]

i dont think its detecting anything

its detecting an interaction prompt ui i have but not the book?

[slender nymph]

does your canvas have a GraphicsRaycaster?

[round scaffold]

yea

[slender nymph]

then show the event system's preview window while you try to select that object at runtime

[compact dirge]

no way for detect if a gameobject is colliding something in this exact moment (not with onCollisionEnter/Exit) other then rayCast?

[round scaffold]

https://gyazo.com/29654ba875753628e17cd05d2e2424af

[slender nymph]

well i can't tell what's wrong with it. but i can tell it isn't a code issue 🤷‍♂️
ask in #📲┃ui-ux and provide all of the relevant details for your UI setup

[slender nymph]

correct, if you want to check for current/potential collisions outside of OnCollisionEnter/Exit then you'd use a physics query like a raycast, boxcast, overlapsphere, etc.
or you could keep track of every object that it comes into contact with in OnCollisionEnter/Exit

[scenic cipher]

You could use OverlapSphere depending on your needs

[compact dirge]

I guess that the raycast is the most light function, right?

[scenic cipher]

Yes, raycast is most likely most performant.

[scenic cipher]

Which line is line 66?

[scenic cipher]

You were missing a comma, I added the comma in the code above

[round sentinel]

oh wait i mean this

[austere monolith]

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

public class PlayerLook : MonoBehaviour
{
public float sensitivityX = 2f;
public float sensitivityY = 2f;

private float rotationX = 0f;


// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * sensitivityX;
    float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * sensitivityY;

    transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

    rotationX -= mouseY;
    rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -90f, 90f);

    Camera.main.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0f, 0f);
}

}

whats wrong with this code?

[scenic cipher]

What is your error?

[austere monolith]

there is no error but i cant look around

[scenic cipher]

@round sentinel I updated this code, try it again.

[scenic cipher]

Try this.

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

public class PlayerLook : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float sensitivityX = 2f;
    public float sensitivityY = 2f;

    private float rotationX = 0f;
    private float rotationY = 0f;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivityY;
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivityX;

        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

        rotationY += mouseX;
        rotationX -= mouseY;
        rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -90f, 90f);

        Camera.main.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, rotationY, 0f);
    }
}

[austere monolith]

vertical works

horizontal nah

[scenic cipher]

You need to add a rotationY to the Quaternion.Euler()

[austere monolith]

would i make another private float

[round sentinel]

it says this now

[scenic cipher]

Yep

[scenic cipher]

Please read the error. It says you need to assign a CharacterController to characterController, I assume in the inspector.

[austere monolith]

i kind of suck at this whole coding thing, i added a rotationY then put Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, rotationY, 0f);

[round sentinel]

i dont know where : (

[scenic cipher]

@austere monolith I have updated this code, try it. Also what is transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX); for?

[austere monolith]

erm

i think y movement

[scenic cipher]

I checked your code again and you're doing it in the Start(). Did you remove the Start() function?

[austere monolith]

looking i mean

[scenic cipher]

This line does the rotating 🤔

Camera.main.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, rotationY, 0f);```

[austere monolith]

no idea what this means

oh

[scenic cipher]

I made a mistake, I have updated the code.

[austere monolith]

its to rotate the camera horizontally

[scenic cipher]

This code rotates the camera though. You shouldn't be rotating the camera twice like you currently are.

Just comment that line out, and test without it. I don't think its needed.

[austere monolith]

perfect it works! also i try it without that line

you are right 😅

ty

[scenic cipher]

You're welcome.

[austere monolith]

wait what

[round sentinel]

sorry for that, i replaced my code with urs but its still the same i dont know why

[austere monolith]

another error XD

[scenic cipher]

The code I provided didn't include the Start function, your code already had that, I just provided an updated Update() function.

[austere monolith]

the issue i have is when i look in a direction i spawn in, i go forward, then i look to the left or any other direction, i click forward and i still go in the same direction always, basically when i turn it doesnt update that and it keeps the same directions

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 3f;

private Rigidbody rb;


// Start is called before the first frame update
private void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector3 movement = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0f, verticalInput);

    rb.velocity = movement * moveSpeed;


}

        Vector3 movement = transform.right * horizontalInput + transform.forward * verticalInput;

        rb.velocity = movement * moveSpeed;
    }
}```

[austere monolith]

what the

oh

ty again XD

[scenic cipher]

You're welcome.

[austere monolith]

aw it doesnt work

but it makes sense?

[scenic cipher]

Is there a reason you're using RIgidBody instead of CharacterController for movement?

[austere monolith]

the built in gravity

[scenic cipher]

You can still use a RigidBody with CharacterController movement.

I've always used CharacterController for movement, so I'm not sure what your issue is.

[austere monolith]

ill go learn how to do it in character controller

[limpid forum]

You do what you want, it's your game.

[scenic cipher]

Heres updated code if you want to use CharacterController. Make sure to add a Character Controller component to your game object.

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 3f;

    private Rigidbody rb;
    private CharacterController characterController;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 movement = transform.right * horizontalInput + transform.forward * verticalInput;

        characterController.Move(movement * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}```

[austere monolith]

why does it say object reference not set to instance of object on the player, i click on the player and theres nothing to assign?

[scenic cipher]

Did you add a Character Controller component to your game object?

[austere monolith]

yes

[scenic cipher]

Send me the error please.

[amber spruce]

anyone know why my player is just falling through the map

[scenic cipher]

Does both the player and ground have colliders?

[amber spruce]

yeah

[austere monolith]

do you have a collider on your player, the ground needs a collider, you needto use physics for player movement

[scenic cipher]

@amber spruce What are the Layers on both the players and ground?

[austere monolith]

are you using character controller or rigidbody

[amber spruce]

i found the issue

[scenic cipher]

Those wouldn't affect collisions

[amber spruce]

it was smth with the character controller

[austere monolith]

aight

[scenic cipher]

Can you try copying the code I sent above. You may have copied it before I edited it.

[austere monolith]

oh you updated it

k theres no errors but the issue of direction still isnt fixed

chatgpt says

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 3f;

    private Rigidbody rb;
    private Transform cameraTransform; // Reference to the camera's transform.

    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        cameraTransform = Camera.main.transform; // Assumes the main camera is used.
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        // Calculate the movement vector relative to the camera's orientation.
        Vector3 forward = cameraTransform.forward;
        Vector3 right = cameraTransform.right;
        forward.y = 0f; // Make sure the direction is flat (no vertical component).
        right.y = 0f;
        forward.Normalize();
        right.Normalize();

        Vector3 movement = (forward * verticalInput + right * horizontalInput).normalized;

        rb.velocity = movement * moveSpeed;
    }
}
