Ah, you're rotating the camera on the Y axis, not the Player game object.

Don't use ChatGPT

[austere monolith]

mb

[scenic cipher]

Can you send me a screenshot of your hierarchy with it opened to Camera?

[austere monolith]

i have like nothing in my game

[scenic cipher]

Is PlayerLook.cs on your Camera or Player game object?

[austere monolith]

camera

[scenic cipher]

I think it would be best to update your PlayerLook.cs.

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

public class PlayerLook : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Transform playerTransform;

    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);
        
        playerTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, rotationY, 0f);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, rotationY, 0f);
    }
}```

[scenic cipher]

Drag PlayerContainer or Capsule into the playerTransform depending which one has the PlayerMovement script.

[scenic cipher]

I edited the code above to fix that.

[austere monolith]

YES

omg bruh that took like an hour

Ah cool, so am I.

[austere monolith]

thats cool!

can i see your progress in like a dm video

[scenic cipher]

Sure, in a minute.

[modest barn]

Struggling to understand what VS is trying to tell me here. Is this even something to do with Unity? Fortunately it's only a suggestion and not an error, but I'm just curious.

[wary sable]

Where is it best practice to put things like player scripts, colliders, rigidbodies, etc. On a parent object or the armature itself, or potentially other location?

[scenic cipher]

Parent is best.

[wary sable]

ty

[scenic cipher]

Dropdown inherits from MonoBehavior. Unity expects MonoBehaviors to be instantiated as a component.

[modest barn]

Ahh

[scenic cipher]

It doesn't need to be (to my knowledge), but is recommended.

[modest barn]

Cool. Didn't need MB in Dropdown anyhow so I just removed that and once again all is well 🙂

[cerulean crypt]

Am I being really dumb or is there no easy way to fix objects to a position from the camera's perspective? Like I wanna do a FPS counter and my camera can move about but I can't find a way to make text that stays in the same position in the camera

[scenic cipher]

Are you using UI for that?

I would assume so, but just making sure

[cerulean crypt]

Never assume I'm smart. I wasn't. Thanks 😂

I'm really new to this so sorry for a dumb question

[scenic cipher]

No worries, good luck with your project!

[cerulean crypt]

Thanks 👍

Might be back here in like 5 with more dumb questions, who knows

[scenic cipher]

And I will be here. 🙂

[polar acorn]

Dropdown is a Unity script. If you've made your own script with that name, you should probably change it

[wary sable]

For my movement controller I want the possibility of making the player go faster than its "max speed" so when adding force while walking / sprinting is capped, there is still potential for the players magnitude to go above that especially for instances where the player is interacting with the environment.
I thought a good way to do this would be to check if the resulting magnitude of adding a force to the player would be greater that the max speed...
Maybe im just having an aneurism but I cant figure out the if statement for that (this would have to be done without actually applying the force since I dont want to make any reductive changes to the players magnitude after forces have been applied)

[formal escarp]

I need some help. im using this code to try so i can pickup and drop items, but when i do it this way it also "drops" the camera 💀

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

public class Equipar : MonoBehaviour
{
   public Transform PlayerTransform;
   public GameObject Linterna;
   public Camera Camara;
   public float range = 2f;
   public float open = 100f;

   void Start()
   {
       Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
   }

   void Update()
   {
       if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
       {
           UnequipObject();
           Shoot();
       }
   }
   void Shoot()
   {
       RaycastHit hit;
       if (Physics.Raycast(Camara.transform.position, Camara.transform.forward, out hit, range))
       {
           Target target = hit.transform.GetComponent<Target>();
           if (target != null)
           {
               Equip();
           }
       }
   }

   void UnequipObject()
   {
       PlayerTransform.DetachChildren();
       Linterna.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.x, Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.y, Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.z - 45);
       Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = false;
   }
   void Equip()
   {
       Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
       Linterna.transform.position = PlayerTransform.transform.position;
       Linterna.transform.rotation = PlayerTransform.transform.rotation;
       Linterna.transform.SetParent(PlayerTransform);

   }
}

[summer cradle]

puede que esto te ayude

if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
{
if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Interactable"))
{
//Toma el objeto
}}

[formal escarp]

Grande David. But do you think using a comparetag is better?

[summer cradle]

RaycastHit hit;
Ray ray = mainCamera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
            {
                if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Interactable"))
                {
                    // Tomar el objeto
                    heldObject = hit.collider.transform;
                    isHoldingObject = true;
                }
            }

[formal escarp]

maybe yes no? because of uh otherwise it will drop the entire thing instead of the item

[summer cradle]

is only an example

[formal escarp]

makes sense. thanks brother.

[fair steeple]

Hey, I'm trying to make a state machine for my character controller. This is the flow I want to follow. I have an abstract State class, a State Manager class that manages the state change and then a class per each of the three states. What I don't understand is how to put the regular movement logic (input, add force, etc.) into these state classes and make it work. I'm really lost with this so I don't even understand where to start.

[gaunt ice]

transition of fsm can dependent on input and current state (mealy machine)

[fair steeple]

I see, but what is the entry point? Where does the Jump function that adds force upwards go in this script? Do I add the logic directly in RunCurrentState()?

public class JumpState : State
{
    public LocomotionState locomotionState;
    bool hitGround;
    public override State RunCurrentState()
    {
        if (hitGround)
            return locomotionState;
        else return this;
    }
}

[wary sable]

really depends on how you want it structured but if this state is only active when your character is off the ground then you will need to add the force outside of it

[fair steeple]

I think RunCurrentState() is being called every update by the StateManager tho

I don't get any of this

Thanks tho

I'll deal with it another day

[wary sable]

np, just keep at it... It will make sense at some point and it will be really rewarding once it does

[fair steeple]

it better is lol

[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

[summer stump]

You set moveDir to (0,0,0) then use it without ever updating it when you update inputVector

[stark flint]

You mean this Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(inputVector.x, 0f, inputVector.y);

[keen dew]

Vector2 inputVector = new Vector2(0, 0);
Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(inputVector.x, 0f, inputVector.y);

both inputVector.x and inputVector.y are zero. So moveDir will always be (0, 0, 0)

and what do you expect this to do: Vector3 moveDirZ = new Vector3(0, 0, 0).normalized;

[stark flint]

have you seen this tho if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) { inputVector.y = +1; } if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)) { inputVector.x = -1; } if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) { inputVector.y = -1; } if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)) { inputVector.x = +1; }

[summer stump]

That doesn't change moveDir

Because you do that AFTER setting moveDir to inputVectors values

It doesn't retroactively change anything

[keen dew]

Code runs from top to bottom. It's not going to jump back up to change moveDir after running those lines

[summer stump]

Here, I simply moved some stuff around
https://gdl.space/onocoqucin.cs

I have NO IDEA what is going on with the moveDirZ like Nitku mentioned, so I didn't even touch that (commented where I stopped).

I made things global values instead of local, and the most important change, I simply put the moveDir assignment below this:
#💻┃code-beginner message

It just to give you an idea. Did it on my phone too, so may be typos lol

[keen dew]

inputVector needs to be zeroed at the start of the frame though, now it keeps the value if you let go of movement keys

[summer stump]

Ah yeah. Good point
https://gdl.space/uroxiyifid.cs
Fixed

[keen dew]

And I'm not sure it needs to be global because it's not used anywhere else unless there are plans to do that later. It doesn't seem to do anything in the other method

no wait it is used, forget that

[summer stump]

Yeah, it was another case of being made zero in the HandleInteractions method. I removed that, made it global, and now it will carry over in the same frame.

Then be zeroed the next as you pointed out. Thanks

Hi! could someone please help me fix this piece of code? Im trying to calculate the difference between 2 rotations

Quaternion targetQuat = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0,targetRot)) ;
Quaternion confirmedQuat = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, target.transform.rotation.z));
Quaternion dif = Quaternion.Inverse(confirmedQuat)*targetQuat ;
finalRotZ = (int)dif.eulerAngles.z;

[north kiln]

target.transform.rotation.z is nonsense, Quaternions are complex numbers, the z is not what you think it is
Perhaps you meant to use eulerAngles

[fleet patio]

oh I forgot to check types

This has nothing to do with code but I'm kinda pissed off, I move a child to a different location, parent it to an empty, and the empty teleports to the child. Why?

https://gyazo.com/65cc9b9139fd1f4aca29fd7f1d78ec83

Any time I move the child the parent generates coordinates to offset it back to where it came from like what...

Why does this keep spawning platforms ontop of each other?

[eternal needle]

do you by chance have this GeneratePlatforms script on an object that you are spawning

[raven kindle]

yes

oh

soo its running the script lots of times

and making even more platforms

[raven kindle]

How would i fix this?

[eternal needle]

Dont have a script that spawns objects on Start on the object being spawned

[raven kindle]

oke, and that will fix it?

or will the multiple objects still run the update method?

this would fix it?

[eternal needle]

You need to change the spawn condition (so its not on Start everytime), if your platforms need to spawn other platforms.
Or move this script to some other object which handles spawning all platforms. meaning platforms do not have this script

You should also configure your !ide because that is not valid c#

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

i think i already configured

oh

[somber herald]

wtf XD

[rare basin]

it is not configured

[raven kindle]

i installed from unity hub

it auto suggests code

[raven kindle]

how would i move it to a different object?

[rich summit]

Errr I'm learning unity in my class right now and I'm questioning my teacher's methods of trying to do this script for a scene-changing text adventure
Basically, each new room has it's own scene because I need to set 3 options, a body text, and a scene image.
But I feel like doing this for a script is so inefficient and it's taking up so many lines I have to run a marathon to reach a certain point

[eternal needle]

is that visual studio? I dont recall the "0 references" thing being shown on vs, i thought that was vs code @raven kindle

[somber herald]

also not to be impatient but if any1 can solve this im still stuuuckk

[rich summit]

It's also creating several issues like not being able to put different text within the same scene because everything is called every frame

[somber herald]

i think its silly but i'd make a dictionary of those function data types just because i have ocd

forgot what they're called

[eternal needle]

yes this is garbage, your teacher probably wrote this for the purpose of writing something that works instead of being a proper solution. I would assume this isnt some university level course

[rich summit]

Highschool, this is my first course for the major

It just works but If I try to do more complex stuff it begins causing problems

[gaunt ice]

create mapping from enum to C# action

[raven kindle]

its vscode

[rich summit]

Is there a documentation I can read or tut on how to do that

[somber herald]

ooh its called a delegate

had to google that

[eternal needle]

Its likely that the teacher isnt fully aware of how to code, or that they wrote this in a quick way so that everyone could understand it. this wouldnt be meant to be turned into an actual game but more of "look this works!"

[somber herald]

if you don't know delegates or maps then its a bit excessive

i'd say it might even overcomplicate it

[rich summit]

Well I hope he'd be aware on how to code considering he's teaching the class, but I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I myself just REALLY don't like to look at this code because it makes me feel so lost

[somber herald]

It'd look great but i'd just make a #region and minimize it

[rich summit]

This is the first project we're doing, before we learned how to make a number guessing game but that's about it so I'm pretty new

[eternal needle]

Oh i just looked more clearly, thats all in update 🫣

[somber herald]

yaa then don't do the delegate mapping its overkill

slightly advanced too i think

[rich summit]

Is there a way I can make it so it doesn't call every frame because that sounds excessive on the computer

[eternal needle]

you simply put the script on a different object. im not really sure what the goal is (game-wise) so its hard to suggest much

[raven kindle]

its an endless runner game

[gaunt ice]

after reading the method bodies
it should be a state-driven or fsm

[raven kindle]

soo like this?

[gaunt ice]

but capture input still needed to be done in update

[raven kindle]

and add the platformM as a prefab?

[somber herald]

the easiest way to have it not be excessive is to only have it execute when a condition is met, but you really don't need to worry about computation so early in cs

[eternal needle]

honestly dont worry about the performance right now. It will make it more complicated and its not gonna matter in your case here. I doubt you would even get more fps, you would end up with more troubles with the input not being captured every frame

[eternal needle]

sure, and yes i guess to adding the prefab if that is what you want to spawn

[raven kindle]

it worked thanks !

[rich summit]

Well my biggest issue with this is that I have a line that tells you you've collected an item, but it immediately gets overridden with that scene's original text next frame

[somber herald]

you can try implementing a timer

time.deltaTime counts up, and you can store this in a float

[eternal needle]

Honestly with your current code, theres not much you can do about that

There would be a lot you would have to edit..

[somber herald]

and then check if the time has gotten over a specific number

Hello I have a doupt that Idk how to solve. I need to add 2 texts into a Dialogue Manager and I have those in my Canvas, but I cannot drag them into the Dialogue Manager. I guess is a problem with the type of the 2 objects but they are regular TextMesh-Pro so idk what is the issue. Thank you for your help!

[somber herald]

in hopes that i wake up tomorrow with someone fixing this blathsphemy

[somber herald]

make it a TextMeshProUGUI

it might require a using thing on top i dont remember

[magic apex]

Rigth now I have it like text

But with Text should work too rigth?

[somber herald]

i think you need a using TMPro

na i dont think it works

tmp is lil bit more annoying to use

[eternal needle]

yea looking at this code more, your teacher really doesnt know what they're doing. Its just the unfortunate reality but on the bright side, most of learning programming will be your own experimentation and self practice.
I would simply add another text if you want to display something unique, and maybe use some timer to keep track of how long it should be on screen. Otherwise you're gonna have to edit every single method here.
This next part might be more than what you'll learn soon, so dont stress much if you dont understand the topic: In reality, you would want to define these methods (like Castle_Room0A) as a class "State". Not an enum. Then you can have methods like "OnStateEnter" "OnStateExit". These handle what happens when you enter and leave a state, allowing you to do stuff like set a text once when entering a state. This is the very basic of state machines

[magic apex]

It's not working, I still have the default names

[somber herald]

do those drag in?

[magic apex]

Yup

[somber herald]

thats good

[magic apex]

But it looks like a text font? Or not idk

[somber herald]

nah thats just tmpros logo they're strange ones

i miiight be wrong but i think it represents a text box

[magic apex]

mmhh idk I will do some Debug with this and see if I can go from here

I am out of ideas. (CC) Sliding works perfectly but player still can climb through this to steep slide because I think velocity applied in movement is higher than this applied on slope.

Don't wanna change movement code because it's perfectly balanced so I must take care of this in sliding code. Any ideaS?

[topaz mortar]

just increase slide velocity? or reduce movespeed on slides? not sure what you're asking

I have this for my MySQL database, any quick feedback?

[ivory bobcat]

Doesn't look related to coding or unity - relational database.

[waxen adder]

Is there any website anyone can think of that lists various procedural generation techniques for various applications? I'm kind of in a bingey deep dive right now

[barren vapor]

Seems to look decent yes. it's a multiple relation I think? a mod can be assigned to different weapons and a weapon can have different mods?

[spare sparrow]

i have this template for a top down 2d racing game with a tilemap in it. Whenever i select the racetrack it is highlighted in orange. whats the easiest way to detect whether my car is in or outside this outline?

[topaz mortar]

yep 🙂

[topaz mortar]

unity gaming services has a procedural generation app, but I don't know anything about it

[waxen adder]

^ Not getting anything typing "unity procedural generation app." Do you have a link for that?

[spare sparrow]

even just a keyword for what im looking for would be great, i just have no idea where to start

[barren vapor]

oh, I'd name it:
"items -> itemMod <- mods"
but it's your own choice ofcourse

[ivory bobcat]

Not the easiest but if you fired a raycast from cam through the car and did not hit the track collider.. your car would not be on the track.

[spare sparrow]

since unity "knows" where my track is, since its making the outline, couldnt i just use that in some way?

[topaz mortar]

wouldn't it make more sense to add a collision event to the car & racetrack and just check if they're colliding?

[ivory bobcat]

Sounds like unsophisticated magic-ery talk wishful thinking.

[spare sparrow]

i got no idea what im doing man

[spare sparrow]

but that seem a lot simpler

I also need to spawn obstacles, only on the track so i also need to figue out something for that. I assume theres a million better ways, but couldnt i just randomly spawn objects, check if they collide with the track and destroy them if they dont?

[ivory bobcat]

That could potentially lead to an infinite loop

[spare sparrow]

i am aware

[ivory bobcat]

Or very bad delays

[spare sparrow]

i just know absolutely no better way to do that lol

[topaz mortar]

nah that's pretty terrible lol

[spare sparrow]

What would a good unity dev do instead?

[topaz mortar]

find a youtube tutorial that does something similar and copy the logic

you're not the first one trying to spawn obstacles on a racetrack

[spare sparrow]

true, but i dont know what to search for to find something on now to detect whether there is track or not

i literally just do not know the words to find the correct thing

[ivory bobcat]

Create a line to represent the route (the path stretched) and spawn said obstacle a variable distance between the left and right edge of the route (unless your road thins or thickens, this should not change). The route could be a line generated from a line renderer with points etc

[spare sparrow]

thats great, ty

[topaz mortar]

just use your words lol

ill give that a shot

Ive figured out that the thing i was looking for was called 2d tilemap collider, tutorial did help a lot

[nimble scaffold]

Can I make a system that where I'll make a game and in game I'll make a custom map without coding but playing the game..... And after making the map I'll publish it from my pc I mean unity..?

        }

        sending = false;
    }
}

[sullen rock]

to be frank I do not understand what´s the change supposed to do, but it seems this worked

[rare basin]

in Unity when you are dealing with native resources like NativeArray you need to make sure they are properly disposed

otherway you get a memory leak

your code before:

byte[] jsonToSend = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(json);
uwr.uploadHandler = (UploadHandler)new UploadHandlerRaw(jsonToSend);

new code:

byte[] jsonToSend = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(json);

using (var uploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(jsonToSend))
{
    uwr.uploadHandler = uploadHandler;
    // rest of your code
}

encapsulating the UploadHandlerRaw into the using statement, C# automatically disposes the resources when they are no longer needed (going out of the } scope)

hi, I want to access Spawnedtile in a script which its attached to SpawnedPlane but i get null. I want to use the Spawnedtile position for overlapbox.

[wintry quarry]

you "get null" where? Which script is attached to which object?

Are you seeing an error? Share the full error message

[hidden sun]

Debug prints null. I have a main object which Instantiate 4 objects(1 matrix, 3 planes) each plane will acces spawnedtile and print it.

[wintry quarry]

which debug

[hidden sun]

2nd photo line 15

2 sec

[wintry quarry]

that's getting a PlaceOb jects component from some part of the prefab.

It's not the same PLaceObjects that spawned this thing

[languid spire]

looks like a script execution order problem

[wintry quarry]

if you want that instance, pass it in as a parameter

nah looks like a "you need to pass in a reference to the thing in the instance you just spawned" problem

[hidden sun]

oh

[wintry quarry]

make a function like this in PlaneScript:

public void Init(PlaceObjects spawner) {
  this.TileScript = spawner;
}```
and call it from PlaceObjects:
```cs
GameObject plane = Instantiate(PlanePrefab);
plane.GetComponent<PlaneScript>().Init(this);```

[hidden sun]

yes

[hidden sun]

ty

[wintry quarry]

don't forget to delete your current Start code which is broken

[hidden sun]

yes

umm somehow i got an error

It's called WorldToCell

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Grid.html

[safe root]

I'm trying to call WorldToGrid

[rich adder]

no such thing

[wintry quarry]

there is no such thing

you can only call functions that exist

[wintry quarry]

this is a function you wrote somewhere

call it with the appropriate class

whatever class it's inside

MyClass.WorldToGrid

you are trying to do Grid.WorldToGrid, which is not a thing

[polar acorn]

What class is this in

[safe root]

Grids

[polar acorn]

So call it on Grids

[safe root]

But when I do that it doesn't work. Hold up

[polar acorn]

There is no such thing as WorldToGrid inside of Grid

Grid and Grids are different words

[formal escarp]

"There´s no war in basing se"

[rich adder]

how you made a class called Grids but are trying to use Grid 🤔

[wintry quarry]

prove it!

Wait.... WHY DOES IT WORK NOW>....

[wintry quarry]

It always worked

you didn't type it correctly before

hey guys i need some help, let me show you my code.

Basically i was trying to do a pick up thingy following a tutorial. Problem is, when i touch the button to pickup/drop it drops the camera. so yeah, thats pretty bad it should not be doing that.

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

public class Equipar : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform PlayerTransform;
    public GameObject Linterna;
    public Camera Camara;
    public float range = 2f;
    public float open = 100f;

    void Start()
    {
        Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
        {
            UnequipObject();
            Shoot();
        }
    }
    void Shoot()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(Camara.transform.position, Camara.transform.forward, out hit, range))
        {
            Target target = hit.transform.GetComponent<Target>();
            if (target != null)
            {
                Equip();
            }
        }
    }

    void UnequipObject()
    {
        PlayerTransform.DetachChildren();
        Linterna.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.x, Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.y, Linterna.transform.eulerAngles.z - 45);
        Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = false;
    }
    void Equip()
    {
        Linterna.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
        Linterna.transform.position = PlayerTransform.transform.position;
        Linterna.transform.rotation = PlayerTransform.transform.rotation;
        Linterna.transform.SetParent(PlayerTransform);

    }
}

not sure how i can fix that.

[wintry quarry]

doesn't sound like a script problem. Sounds like a problem with how you set up the obejcts in the scene

seems like the camera itself is attached to whatever rigidbody you're dealing with

what is this Linterna object - why is it used? Shouldn't you just be using whatever object you hit with the raycast?

[formal escarp]

You mean in the hierarchy? let me show you.

[safe root]

How do I know it works?

[formal escarp]

Linterna is flashlight.

It´s spanish.

[brave tapir]

Hi I have an issue where when i have setup pixel perfect camera and I have it follow the player character smoothly via code the player character gitters as it moves.

I looked up online but the solutions are for when u zoom in or change scaling.

[wintry quarry]

how is the player moving?

[brave tapir]

Vector3 playerInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"), 0);
transform.position = transform.position + playerInput.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;

[wintry quarry]

in Update? FixedUpdate?

[brave tapir]

update

[rich adder]

when you type unity components, they would show up for example, most of the featyres is outlined in the guide . I have a video walkthrough as well if you need one

[wintry quarry]

how does this "smooth following" happen in the camera script?

[safe root]

Like this?

[brave tapir]

    void Start()
    {
        // Calculates the minimum size of a screen pixel
        multiple = 1.0f / pixelPerUnit;
    }

    // This function rounds to a multiple of pixel 
    // screen value based on pixel per unit
    private float RoundToMultiple(float value, float multipleOf)
    {
        // Using Mathf.Round at each frame is a performance killer
        return (int)((value / multipleOf) + 0.5f) * multipleOf;
       
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float t = RoundToMultiple(cameraSpeed * Time.deltaTime, multiple);
        cameraObject.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(cameraObject.transform.position, objectToFollow.transform.position + offset, t);
    }

[wintry quarry]

This code is your problem

you are moving the camera in FixedUpdate

[rich adder]

It should look something like this

[modest barn]

Both the .meta files and the files in the Library folder regenerate after being deleted, right?

[rich adder]

if you deleted .meta files, they regen but all your references are now broken

.meta aren't meant to be deleted

[wintry quarry]

Technically meta will regenerate yes, but it will still break the project

[modest barn]

Hm.. it's saying that my .meta has inconsistent casing (because I renamed Dropdown.cs to DropDown.cs and the .meta file is still Dropdown) so can I just rename it? I'm glad I asked here before just deleting it.

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like one of those "case sensitive filesystem" problems which are a nightmare 😵‍💫

[rich adder]

did you rename outside unity?

[modest barn]

Nope

Just inside Unity and it's now giving me that warning

[wintry quarry]

I wouldn't name it that anyway

There's an existing Unity class with that name

In IMGUI

[modest barn]

Wait never mind it said it renamed successfully

[modest barn]

I renamed Dropdown to DropDown because someone told me that Dropdown was a Unity class. Was it, in fact, the other way around?

[rich adder]

unless you know what you're doing with namespaces I'd be careful using reserved names, and yes unity's is Dropdown not DropDown

[wintry quarry]

I just mean the word dropdown

IDK if I would use it at all

IDK the casing off the top of my head

Having them differ by one letter case is even more confusing

[modest barn]

I've never used the Unity dropdown class - what does it do? Is it just for the legacy Dropdown UI objects?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[modest barn]

Great, I don't plan on using that so I won't stress about it now, but I'm going to add a note on the script just in case. Thanks!

[wintry quarry]

the issue is when you type DropDown in another script you may accidentally import UnityENgine.UI and it will still bite you regardless

but by all means it is your project 😉

[modest barn]

That's actually a good point, thank you. Probably will rename it then.

On another note, is this something I have to worry about:

GameObject (named 'Main') references runtime script in scene file. Fixing!

[wintry quarry]

i'm not really sure what that is

[rich adder]

sounds like a custom error /warning

[modest barn]

Definitely haven't made anything custom...

[rich adder]

weird never seen that one before, but yeah you can't reference scene objects if you're in a prefab or another scene

[modest barn]

Not using any prefabs and I've not got any other scenes. So it's a mystery...

[rich adder]

open object Main and check what it is then

[modest barn]

I made the object myself, it just holds scripts. Currently one in there.

I'll go fix the compilation errors and see if the error in the Console goes away.

[wintry quarry]

definitely fix the errors but that may also be related to the meta file issue

[modest barn]

Ah

I've never had issues with renaming scripts before, that's quite annoying

[modest barn]

All fixed. Now it's just an issue with using new() with MonoBehaviours, and until now I've always just got rid of MonoBehaviour and used Constructors, but now that I'm using the script on a GameObject, I can't remove the MonoBehaviour inheritance.

I really do not understand the documentation on using AddComponent(), can someone help me out with it?

[rich adder]

yeah Monobehaviours aren't regular C# objects and unity does their own magic with them so they cannot new()

When you add it to a gameobject unity does that for you, and awake is sort of like a constructor where you can initialize stuff in there

[wintry quarry]

yeah you can't do that

[modest barn]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/you-are-trying-to-create-a-monobehaviour-using-the-new-keyword-this-is-not-allowed/97887/5
I just read the really good explanation at this post, so I definitely understand it more. I'm going to try using AddComponent() and see what happens 😄

[modest barn]

What is the difference between using Start() and Awake()?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.Start.html

[scenic cipher]

Awake() runs when the Component is constructed, Start() is when the game starts, or when the component is enabled

[rich adder]

basically start wont run if script is disabled but awake can

[thick topaz]

hi, so im trying to make the character like dash towards the cursor and im so confused here, as its working, jsut not in the x axis though,

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && attacking ==  false)
        {
            animator.SetTrigger("Attack");
            attacking = true;

            if(move.x > 0 || move.x < 0)
            {
                Vector2 playerPos = this.gameObject.transform.position + SliceAbsOffset;
                Vector3 mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
                Vector2 mousep = new Vector2(mousePosition.x, mousePosition.y);
                Vector2 direction = (mousep - playerPos).normalized;
                Debug.Log(direction);
                Vector2 force = direction * 10;
                Debug.Log(force);
                rb.AddForce(force, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
            }
        }```

the only other references in my code to the rigidbody are

```c#

if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, 5);
        }

and

private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(move.x * 5, rb.velocity.y);

        if (move.x < 0f)
        {
            sr.flipX = true;
        } else if (move.x > 0f)
        {
            sr.flipX = false;
        }
    }```

both of which work exactly how you would expect, but for some reason with the dash attack thing its not moving in the x, only very slightly, like less than 0.0001 which i think is just more to physics error than anything,

any help as to why this may be happening will be greatly appreciated :)

[wintry quarry]

You are doing this every FixedUpdate:
rb.velocity = new Vector2(move.x * 5, rb.velocity.y);

how do you suppose there's any room for velocity from your force to affect the thing?

[thick topaz]

no i know, but even when i dont have that it doesnt work, and im adding the force to that so that shouldnt matter

[wintry quarry]

That matters quite a lot. you are overwriting the x velocity every frame

[safe root]

Got it..... So it didn't work

[thick topaz]

ok, but like i said, even if i did it without that it doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

I doubt that

what does your code look like "without that"

[thick topaz]

well it didnt smh

i just commented it out and it wouldnt

[wintry quarry]

Then you have something else setting the x velocity

[thick topaz]

i dont lol

[wintry quarry]

or you are colliding with something, etc.

[rich adder]

clearly it works lol
you just didnt do it right

[thick topaz]

im just gonna rewrite it so it calculates the velocity every frame and then handles it

[safe root]

Well yeah but I don't know what I did wrong

[rich adder]

Im no psychic i have no clue what you did . You missed a step somewhere

[thick topaz]

Heres a vid to show you

[safe root]

Well I used unity one

[summer stump]

So can you show your code NOT in a video that scrolls up and down quickly. It looked like you were still setting x velocity in a different method, and it was not commented

[wintry quarry]

show inspector of your Rigidbody?

[rich adder]

"I used the Unity one" ok thats helpful

[summer stump]

Yeah, in ManageVelocity you set the x velocity

Ahhh, but that method call is commented. Well, this is why showing code in a video sucks hahaha

[thick topaz]

its not letting me send the script what

Ah sorry, it wasn't that far up, I could have scrolled

[thick topaz]

dont be sorry its fine 😭

jsut explaining why i brushed over it in the vid

[safe root]

When I read "Select one" I though one of them would slove my problem

[thick topaz]

im just so confused why its only affecting the x axis, and anything it prints shows positives and wahtnot in the log so

[rich adder]

no you have to like read and pay attention to what you're clicking when you do stuff

esp if you want to make games

[thick topaz]

even when i log the velocity right after its what it shoudl be

the velocity in the rigidbody info has x locked at 0 though

[wintry quarry]

did you show the inspector yet?

[safe root]

I am doing that stuff and the same stuff I just did were on the same page. So the one I selected were ways to help fix the problem! I don't know what got you all angry but I would not like to be insulted

[wintry quarry]

Maybe you constrained x position for example?
Or maybe your animator is doing it

[thick topaz]

no because if i apply velocity through the fixedupdate i can move around freely and jump and everything is normal

[wintry quarry]

try disabling the animator temporarily

[rich adder]

I'm just telling you to pay attention to what you do lol no need to take it personal.
You came back saying "It dont work" we see this every day.
when in reality you followed the wrong thing from the beginning, im just letting you know .. have to follow the steps exactly because its tricky in VSCode instead of VS

[summer stump]

VSCode isn't directly supported by Unity and it can be tricky

[rich adder]

thanks Microsoft also for confusing naming scheme 👍

[safe root]

I understand and I'm sorry if it came out as rude but saying that to me did annoy me. Also I don't think it working cause I already did these steps throught the other links

[summer stump]

What exact steps did you do?
We go through this with people almost every day, and there is ALWAYS a missed step

[thick topaz]

ah, ok it is the animator, that has been screwing it over

[summer stump]

Could you, for instance, show the Package Manager window?

[rich adder]

It is working, I just did it recently again. Make sure to manually Install the .NET SDK as well as sometimes VSCode has trouble downloading it

[summer stump]

Oh daang! Nice catch!

[thick topaz]

i disabled the root motion on it and now it works, damn

dont even know what that does

[wintry quarry]

that lets the animator control the root object's position

[safe root]

I have set up unity and made sure to set up Unity's external editor

[rich adder]

there are more steps

[summer stump]

That is extremely vague. There are multiple steps to that
Show the package manager
Show external tools
Show the extensions you have
Show the console of vs code

[thick topaz]

awesome, well thankyou :))

[safe root]

I don't know where that last one is

[summer stump]

Ok all that looks right. Except you need to remove the Visual Studio Code Editor package in Unity. They both just use the VS one now.

For the last one, just show a screenshot of the whole vs code editor. Preferably with some code showing

It might be the issue nav mentioned
#💻┃code-beginner message

Or you might need to just click "regenerate project files" in the external tools menu while vs code is closed.

[summer stump]

@safe root
Ok, looks fine. No error about the SDK showing. Try closing it, clicking regenerate project files, and reopening it

[safe root]

I did that and it seems a lot different

[summer stump]

Should be good to go. See if it does autocompletion. Misspell something and make sure it gives you an error

[safe root]

Thank you, thank you very much

                    Instantiate(objectToSpawn, new Vector3(vertices[i].x, noiseHeight, vertices[i].z), Quaternion.identity);
                }
            }
        }
    }```

I found out that this method causes my game to freeze a bit when it is called - specifically the larger for loop. Where can I look for ways to improve the code so that it stops freezing when called?

[polar acorn]

How many elements are in vertices? Is this script on the entities prefabs?

[full imp]

A lot since it's used to generate a terrain (I just ran a Debug.Log to print it and it put 10201)

And the script is not on the prefabs

[polar acorn]

That is a lot of objects to instantiate

[full imp]

It's on the procedural generation script where I create the terrain and add objects to it

[full imp]

Yeahh I realised when I saw the output hahaha

[scenic cipher]

@full imp You could thread the function which may help, but it may be best to not iterate so many times and/or instantiate too many objects.

[round moon]

did someone can explain why code error ? ? btw sry if my typing english it wasn't good ( im from indonesia ) i learn it c# + unity btw from udemy , did someone buy this course from udemy ?

[scenic cipher]

As the error says, you're missing a semicolon

[short hazel]

You need to configure your code editor, it will help with these errors

!vscode

[eternal falcon]

Visual Studio Code guide

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

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[summer stump]

Translate is also misspelled

[full imp]

Is there a way to limit the iteration? I was thinking of skipping a few vertices but I'm not sure if that helps a lot

[round moon]

ahh okok i see , and i didnt focus when i watch course from udemy after end of command starts must end with semicolon @,@ thx for help me sir btw

[scenic cipher]

Well it depends on what your goal is, what is the function supposed to do exactly?

[round moon]

aight sir

[full imp]

I'd like it to go through every vertex of the map and use the random.range to possibly spawn an entity on that spot

[scenic cipher]

That is a lot to do, especially on a big map and if you don't want it to lag.
I think it would be best to find a better solution.

[full imp]

I heard that coroutines help a lot with these issues, should I try using that?

[round moon]

ehh ? misspelled ??

[scenic cipher]

I'm not too sure, Coroutines are on the main thread just like normal code. @wintry quarry may know.

[summer stump]

Yes. You spelled it Translete
It is Translate
The "e" needs to be an "a"

[scenic cipher]

@full imp But I really don't think iterating over all of vertices your map is a great idea.
Is there a reason you don't just randomize the amount of enemies you want to spawn, then iterate that number and randomly spawn them on you map?

[full imp]

I actually haven't thought about that haha - would I need to just place one using a random.range from 0 to vertices.length?

[scenic cipher]

What do you mean?

[full imp]

So normally I wouldn't want to iterate through the whole array as it can cause it to freeze, would I want to generate a random number of enemies and then have them place in a random vertex on the map?

[scenic cipher]

Here is what I would do.

int enemiesToSpawn = Random.Range(minEnemies, maxEnemies);
for (int i = 0; i < enemiesToSpawn; i++)
{
   Vector3 spawnPoint = new(Random.Range(minXSpawn, maxXSpawn), 0, Random.Range(minZSpawn, maxZSpawn));
   // Instantiate code here
}

[round moon]

ahh , i see thx man @@ , fvck me i must be thorough when i was type something into coding damn @,@

[full imp]

Ahh right, that's good to know thanks a lot 🙂

[scenic cipher]

You're welcome.
If your ground is not flat, you may need to raycast from the sky down to get the Y position.

[full imp]

Yeahh I already have a variable that provides me the Y value so it shouldn't be too bad, thanks though

[scenic cipher]

👍

[misty otter]

Hey! Haven't touched unity in ages and I'm getting confused between editor rotation coordinates and scripting ones.

[summer stump]

Best thing to do is just not compare them at all.
They are more closely related to euler angles, but not exactly. They do NOT match quaternion values though

Store a float and add to or subtract from it when you rotate, then put that back by building a quaternion from eulers using Quaternion.Euler()

[scenic cipher]

The editor rotation takes in a euler angle which is converted to a Quaternion in code, transform.rotation tates in a Quaternion

[misty otter]

void Update ()
    {
        // Make turn button non interactable if user has not enough money for the turn
        if (!_isStarted && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
            TurnWheel ();
        }

        if (!_isStarted)
            return;

        float maxLerpRotationTime = 4f;
    
        // increment timer once per frame
        _currentLerpRotationTime += Time.deltaTime;
        if (_currentLerpRotationTime > maxLerpRotationTime || transform.eulerAngles.z == _finalAngle) {
            _currentLerpRotationTime = maxLerpRotationTime;
            _isStarted = false;
            _startAngle = _finalAngle % 360;
    
            GiveAwardByAngle ();
        }
    
        // Calculate current position using linear interpolation
        float t = _currentLerpRotationTime / maxLerpRotationTime;
    
        // This formulae allows to speed up at start and speed down at the end of rotation.
        // Try to change this values to customize the speed
        t = t * t * t * (t * (6f * t - 15f) + 10f);
    
        float angle = Mathf.Lerp (_startAngle, _finalAngle, t);
        transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, angle);
    }

that's my update script that handles rotation. In editor, while changing the x axis it rotates correctly but I just can't make it work in code, it spins in odd manners haha

[summer stump]

What is going on with t...
My brain can't follow that lol

[misty otter]

tbh I found that online lolz, it shouldn't be part of the problem tho, at least that's what I think

Again, total noob on this lolz

[desert elm]

!= is the inverse of == right?

[wintry quarry]

well your code is rotating it in the z axis, not x

[scenic cipher]

@misty otter Rotations can be tricky, my old door system used to rotate in every direction when interacted with despite Y being the only rotation I was changing - to this day I don't know why it was doing that lol.

[summer stump]

Yes

[misty otter]

maybe that helps a bit with visualizing the problem haha

[scenic cipher]

Hmm, are you sure you're rotating the correct axis?

[misty otter]

Tried moving angle between x, y and z in the last line (transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, 0, angle);) with no luck whatosever

[desert elm]

thanks

[celest ravine]

hey there, i made a basic data save and loading script which works perfectly fine as long as you play in the editor. but when i make an apk and install it on my phone it stopps working. Does anyone think they could help me fix that issue. Because I am a little clueless on why that is the case

[scenic cipher]

@misty otter What if you just tried this?

transform.Rotate(Vector3.right * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

[misty otter]

When I rotate in X in editor things just rotate differently than when I do it in runtime

[scenic cipher]

How are you saving the data?

[misty otter]

And neither x, y nor z seem to rotate in the way i want it to

[misty otter]

I need the wheel to rotate to certain preselected angles so as to draw the challenges

https://gdl.space/ezotayomar.cpp

There's the rest of the script if it helps

[wintry quarry]

you shouldn't be guessing. You should know which axis you want to rotate on

[wintry quarry]

in your screenshot here you have -90 on the y axis

basically your object is already rotated weirdly

so then when you set it to 0 you're screwing that up

fix the orientation in the editor and then rotate on the desired axis

[scenic cipher]

Ah yes Praetor is right, you're setting the value of X and Y to 0 in this code.

[celest ravine]

Basically like so:

List<object> gameData = getGameData();
BinaryFormatter binaryFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
binaryFormatter.Serialize(fileStream, gameData);
fileStream.Close(); 

and then i have methods for everything that I call from another script that has dontdestroy on load. And that saves data like so:

public class DataHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    private static DataHandler _instance;
    private void Awake()
    {
        if (_instance == null)
        {
            _instance = this;
            DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
            DataManager.LoadGameData();
        }
        else
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
    private void OnApplicationQuit()
    {
        DataManager.SaveGameData();
    }
}

of course i have methods for saving and loading data. But what I am trying to say is I am saving data using binaryFormatter/FileStream and I am saving data OnApplicationQuit() and loading once the awake function of that script runs.
I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way I am saving the data or with some sort of permissions

[scenic cipher]

Try this @misty otter

transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3 (angle, transform.localEulerAngles.y, transform.localEulerAngles.z);```

[wintry quarry]

BinaryFormatter is 😬

[misty otter]

prefab just goes woops if i set it to 0

[wintry quarry]

anyway the question is where is filepath comoing from

[wintry quarry]

make an empty parent

[celest ravine]

why? Do you recomend anything else?

[desert elm]

Is it possible to change every mention of a variable in a script at once?

[celest ravine]

Application.persistentDataPath

[summer stump]

BinaryWriter
Microsoft is removing BinaryFormatter entirely from what I heard

[scenic cipher]

You need to find a solution that works on all platforms you're planning on supporting. I'm not sure if BinaryFormater does. Also you need to make sure the filepath would work on mobile.

[wintry quarry]

It's dangerous and being removed from .NET
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/serialization/5.0/binaryformatter-serialization-obsolete
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/serialization/8.0/binaryformatter-disabled

I recommend literally anything else, yes

[celest ravine]

I see, ok

[misty otter]

maybe add an empty game object and rotate that to fix it?

[wintry quarry]

On Unity I think you need to read/write files with UnityWebRequest for some reason IIRC

[celest ravine]

So binaryWriter works similarely?

[misty otter]

great

[wintry quarry]

yes or alternatively fix the 3D model in blender

[fluid kiln]

in the update function can i make it so it waits x seconds before doing something?

[celest ravine]

well, and you think binarywriter wouldn't work?

[misty otter]

Tried that and still experiencing the same issue, making rotations on X but it seems as it if were a different X in editor and in game haha

[short hazel]

No. With BinaryWriter you have to write the elements yourself, one by one, basically creating your own file format. An easier and faster way is to use JSON serialisation

[desert elm]

So I dont have to manually change every single mention myself?

[summer stump]

Not really. I use JSON exclusively though, so I dunno

Edit: ah, SPR2 knows

[celest ravine]

I see, and that works well on all devices?

[summer stump]

Should. JSON is ubiquitous
If javascript works, JSON works

[scenic cipher]

What do you mean?

[celest ravine]

expectable, i mean we use json everywhere basically

[scenic cipher]

JSON is great and easy to use.

[celest ravine]

yeah i have experience with json, from the web, i just haven't used them in unity yet since I am quite new

[scenic cipher]

Take a look at this, it may help. https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/JSONSerialization.html

[desert elm]

If I have many instances of a variable in a script because I use it a lot, and I only now noticed that it has a typo- and, even though it has no effect on code, I want to fix it
and I am asking if there is a way to edit every instance of that variable at once

[misty otter]

void Update ()
    {
        // Make turn button non interactable if user has not enough money for the turn
        if (!_isStarted && Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
            TurnWheel ();
        }

        if (!_isStarted)
            return;

        float maxLerpRotationTime = 4f;
    
        // increment timer once per frame
        _currentLerpRotationTime += Time.deltaTime;
        if (_currentLerpRotationTime > maxLerpRotationTime || transform.eulerAngles.x == _finalAngle) {
            _currentLerpRotationTime = maxLerpRotationTime;
            _isStarted = false;
            _startAngle = _finalAngle % 360;
    
            GiveAwardByAngle ();
        }
    
        // Calculate current position using linear interpolation
        float t = _currentLerpRotationTime / maxLerpRotationTime;
    
        // This formulae allows to speed up at start and speed down at the end of rotation.
        // Try to change this values to customize the speed
        t = t * t * t * (t * (6f * t - 15f) + 10f);
    
        float angle = Mathf.Lerp (_startAngle, _finalAngle, t);
        transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3 (angle, 0, 0);
    }

Added a parent to handle all the rotation fixing, now it's at 0 0 0 yet this still happens:

[wintry quarry]

looks like you're rotating the child

instead of the parent

[scenic cipher]

If you're using Visual Studio you can click CTRL+SHIFT+F, click "Replace in Files", set "Find" to the old variable name, and "Replace" to new variable, change "Look In" to "Current Document", then click "Replace All"

[short hazel]

Error-prone, don't

[desert elm]

oh okay, thanks-

nevermind

[wintry quarry]

the parent is the thing that should be at 0,0,0 in the editor. The child should be rotated however necessary to make it upright. Then in the code you rotate the parent

[scenic cipher]

Why would there be an error?

[short hazel]

Because you might be modifying other things than your variable

Class name because it contains the word, for example

CTRL+R twice to do it while respecting the code architecture (VS 2019/2022)

[scenic cipher]

Not if "Match Case" and "Match whole word" is ticked

[short hazel]

That's dumb, just use the better solution that is the context-aware rename

[summer stump]

Some people make the mistake of naming their variables the same as the type.
Not a good idea, but that would cause issues with your method

[short hazel]

Yeah doing that on a code base that has 100+ scripts is a really bad idea lol

At least the (Ctrl+R)² allows you to preview the changes you'll be applying through the files

Doing that on a class name will also rename the file for you, which is pretty cool.
And it'll check that there won't be any conflicts with existing names in other files

[desert elm]

thank you then-

[hollow dawn]

is it easier to make a mobile game than a pc game in unity? I'm a beginner btw

[scenic cipher]

PC might be slightly easier since you don't need to worry as much about performance or functions that aren't available on mobile, but they are very similar.

[hollow dawn]

hmm im going to stick with pc then ty

[scenic cipher]

You should create a mobile game if you were wanting to. Chances are it will be just as easy as a PC game.

[desert elm]

Can you "rotate" a Transform value around a point?

[scenic cipher]

You could create an empty parent and rotate the parent to rotate the child around a point

[formal escarp]

Not sure why i cant attach the animation to the script. any ideas? i have a public animation on the script but nothing

[desert elm]

so i can spawn an object, and then have that object spawn itself a child a random distance from it, and then rotate the parent?

[celest ravine]

I changed my save system to work with JSONUtility and now it still does not work on my phone

[scenic cipher]

Are you sure the save path works on mobile?

[celest ravine]

my save path is Application.persistentDataPath + "/gamedata1.json"

[celest ravine]

do you think the OnApplicationQuit function might be a problem? Does that fire too on mobile?

[scenic cipher]

I believe that should work fine on mobile.

[scenic cipher]

Click "Assets" in the "Select Animation" window

[scenic cipher]

If I understand you correctly, yes. Right click the game object click "Create Empty Parent" them move the child object to the position you need it in, then it will rotate around the parent object when you rotate the parent.

[celest ravine]

do you think i have to turn on external saving permission? But that would not make any sense to me?

[scenic cipher]

I have never saved data to mobile, so I'm not the best person to answer that question unfortunately.

[celest ravine]

well, thats fine, then you are probably as confused as I am, I might look on stack overflow if someone had similar problems

[formal escarp]

It breaks when i do that

"Type Mismatch"

[desert elm]

Could I just have the first game object rotate a random amount?

[stuck palm]

how come this isnt working? im checking isGrounded on jump, but it never works

[scenic cipher]

What if you change the variable type to AnimationClip?

[scenic cipher]

Okay?

[formal escarp]

Not a bad idea, ill try that.

[scenic cipher]

Are you getting both print messages?

[stuck palm]

im getting "checking grounded", but not jamped

[eternal needle]

How are you reading it? Reading files on android for example is different from pc

[scenic cipher]

It may be an issue with your raycast. Physics.OverlapSphere is often used instead of Raycast for ground checks.

[celest ravine]

can I dm you my script?

[short hazel]

That variable name groundLayer makes me think you're passing one layer index instead of a layer mask, which makes the operation fail

[stuck palm]

ground layer is of type layer mark

and i've set that value in the inspector

[short hazel]

Okay next time make sure to add "Mask" in the name, so it's not ambiguous

[stuck palm]

im using a plane as the ground on the ground layer, could that be the problem?

[short hazel]

Removing the mask entirely should be your first step. If it starts working again, then the mask was the problem, else, something else is wrong, like the position/direction of the ray, or whatever you're trying to hit is not detectable (no collider)

[desert elm]

how can I get a random rotation?

[wintry quarry]

Read your error messages

In fact two problems with that line

[short hazel]

Random rotation meaning? Around one axis? Looking somewhere randomly?
Important info missing here

[desert elm]

well yeah its that random creates an interger
which is not a transform.rotate value

[novel shoal]

https://hastebin.com/share/okofebedaq.csharp
also, this should spawn an obstacle once every two seconds, but it spawns a lot of them

[stuck palm]

removing the mask didnt work. does transform.position mean the center, where the xyz lines are?

[short hazel]

Correct

[wintry quarry]

Depends if your tool handle position is set to Pivot

[desert elm]

a random amount of degrees/ set the Z value to a random value between 0 and 360

[stuck palm]

im trying this now, just making the size really big, but no luck either

[stuck palm]

no its set to center

[short hazel]

You're not using the distance variable!

[stuck palm]

yeah just fixed that

its weird, the jump worked once, but not again

maybe i need to make the overlapsphere bigger

each time is me pressing the space bar, it manages to jump once

[short hazel]

Remove the mask. Take all possibilities of failure out

[novel shoal]

can you help me with this one?

[stuck palm]

overlap sphere only works with a mask though

theres no overload with no mask

or should i set it in the inspector

[short hazel]

You might want CheckSphere, as you're not using the colliders it returns, just whether it hit anything

That method returns a bool, and does not create an array to store the colliders, which is a very slight performance gain

[wintry quarry]

Change it to pivot to see the actual pivot

[stuck palm]

its so strange, it will succeed once seemingly randomly and then never work again

[wintry quarry]

Yep that's the actual pivot

[celest ravine]

Guys is anyone here experienced with storing data locally on android in unity? My scripts work in the editor but not on an actual device

[short hazel]

You start a job that instantiates the object each X seconds, but you do that 60 times a second, in Update.
Thus 60 instantiates will be "queued for execution in 2 seconds", each 16 milliseconds. Surprised your game didn't crash.
You need to call InvokeRepeating once, in void Start() for example, since it repeats

[stuck palm]

the floor is a plane, is it checking like past the plane which is why nothing shows up?

[novel shoal]

i have to multiply for time.Deltatime?

[short hazel]

No, you have to read what I wrote

The last sentence especially

[novel shoal]

oh ok

[stuck palm]

this is so bizarre

[short hazel]

Debug.DrawRay, Gizmos.DrawSphere can be used to visually represent where your ground check is in the world, in scene view, and in game view (if you enable it)

[celest ravine]

Hah i figured it out. It seems that it really is the onApplicationQuit event seems like using OnApplicationPause is working better

[stuck palm]

i made the floor a really big cube, and now it works for some reason, but also isGrounded is always returning true

[short hazel]

Well looks like the symptoms of the ray/sphere being below the plane, if adding thickness solves it

But again, debugging is pretty much required here, and Unity provides good tools for that

[stuck palm]

i've got this in my script, but no spheres are showing up in the scene view

gizmos are enabled before you ask

[short hazel]

Try assigning them a color beforehand Gizmos.color = ...

[novel shoal]

@wintry quarry now i used rb.MovePosition, but it still does not work for the first ones, then it works in a strange way after

[stuck palm]

update a spehre is being drawn but it is tiny

i didnt even notice

[short hazel]

Set the appropriate parameters. Position and radius should be the exact same as in your Overlap/CheckSphere

[stuck palm]

this appears to be where its checking

[novel shoal]

@short hazel

[stuck palm]

just realised my mistake...

[short hazel]

wtf is this lol

[stuck palm]

the vector is some random place

i thought the first vector was the size of the sphere

im stupid

[wintry quarry]

Move position also doesn't respect collision.

Your options are setting the velocity and using forces

[novel shoal]

okk

[short hazel]

Imagine if you didn't have these enabled... Please actually use them

[stuck palm]

strange, issue is still happening even after fixing

new updated code

figured it out

the cube wasnt a ground object

[formal escarp]

my brain is fucking rotting at this point i cant attach the goddam thing and ive been trying to fix for 40 minutes already

[dense root]

So I'm trying to create a brick breaker, however it won't "destroy" the brick. Here are my Unity settings and the code:

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
    hitCounter++;

    SpriteRenderer m_SpriteRenderer;
    m_SpriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

    if (hitCounter == 1)
    {
        m_SpriteRenderer.color = Color.blue;
    }

    else if (hitCounter == 2)
    {
        m_SpriteRenderer.color = Color.red;
    }

    if (hitCounter == 3)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

    Debug.Log("Hit Brick");
}

Does OnCollisionEnter2D only detect collisions from colliders? Not rigidbodies?

And if so, how do I set that up so that it doesn't "push" the brick

[swift crag]

your question is ill-posed

a collision occurs when two colliders overlap

but those colliders can be children of a rigidbody, meaning that the rigidbody is involved

[dense root]

Right... so when I attached a rigidbody to my projectile it "pushes" the brick... how do I avoid that?

[swift crag]

the Rigidbody2D component allows something to be affected by physics

[dense root]

It destroys it as intended but creates a "bouncy" ball projectile

[swift crag]

I'm guessing the brick also has a Rigidbody2D on it

[rare basin]

you throw a ball into the wall

[dense root]

Yeah

[rare basin]

will it bounce back?

irl

[dense root]

Yeah of course

[swift crag]

You can remove the rigidbody from the brick. It shouldn't ever be affected by physics

It can still be hit by a collider that is a child of a Rigidbody2D

[dense root]

The brick doesn't have a RigidBody

[swift crag]

Then the brick isn't being pushed.

I do not understand the behavior you're seeing

[dense root]

It isn't currently, but without the RigidBody it won't be destroyed

[rare basin]

why not

[dense root]

Here maybe it's easier if I record a video

[rare basin]

you can use OnTriggerEnter

and put the rigidbody on the ball

and collider only on the brick

[swift crag]

A rigidbody collider can trigger a collision message when it hits a collider that isn't part of a rigidbody.

Something else must be wrong.

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

Perhaps the ball's rigidbody is kinematic

In that case, you wouldn't get a collision message if it hit a static rigidbody

You would get a message if it hit a non-kinematic rigidbody

[dense root]

Let me try OnTriggerEnter

[swift crag]

you will also need to switch the brick's collider to be a trigger

note that, in this case, you must make the ball bounce yourself

[fading finch]

hello everyone

[short hazel]

They are triggers

[swift crag]

is this the case?

[rare basin]

yea they are

on this screen

triggers

[swift crag]

ah, they are triggers already. I see.

You wouldn't get collision messages when hitting them, then

under any circumstances

and it looks like the ball isn't kinematic.

[swift crag]

Kinematic rigidbodies aren't affected by physics. If you're using AddForce to shoot the projectiles, then nothing will happen.

[dense root]

Adding a Box collider to the projectile doesn't seem to do the trick either

[swift crag]

oh, there was no collider on the projectile

You must have one.

[dense root]

There is one now

Still not destroying as intended

[swift crag]

A dynamic rigidbody with a trigger collider will cause a message when it hits a static trigger collider.

[dense root]

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    hitCounter++;

    SpriteRenderer m_SpriteRenderer;
    m_SpriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

    if (hitCounter == 1)
    {
        m_SpriteRenderer.color = Color.blue;
    }

    else if (hitCounter == 2)
    {
        m_SpriteRenderer.color = Color.red;
    }

    if (hitCounter == 3)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

    Debug.Log("Hit Brick");
}

[novel shoal]

why is my background moving faster than the obstacle in a 2d side scroller when they have the same mass and speed?

[swift crag]

This also looks fine. So you are seeing nothing printed to the console, then?

[short hazel]

That's the 3D version. You're in 2D!

[swift crag]

Oh

🤬

yeah, there it is

I do very little 2D so I didn't even think about that

[novel shoal]

@swift crag

[swift crag]

you're going to have to show us what you're doing..

[short hazel]

Don't ping random people, also

[novel shoal]

https://hastebin.com/share/urohinelob.csharp
this is the script

[short hazel]

Well scrolling up, they had the 2D version of the code... what happened in between?

[swift crag]

ah, yes, that threw me off..

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/2d-physics-messages

you should read through this

[dense root]

Thanks SPR2

That did the trick!

[novel shoal]

the background moves at that speed, the same goes for an obstacle instantiated by the spawn manager

[short hazel]

Perspective or orthographic camera?

[novel shoal]

perspective

[short hazel]

It's normal that objects farther away appear to move slower than closer objects in perspective configuration

[novel shoal]

no it shouldn't

hold on

[short hazel]

Try it in real life lol

[novel shoal]

i'll make a video

[short hazel]

It works like that IRL

[novel shoal]

yeah but the background is very near to the obstacle

and they move at a different speed, but the gap is wide

[short hazel]

Your speed variable, make sure they are identical in the Inspector of the two objects

[short hazel]

The value you set in code will be applied once, then the value you set in the inspector will take precedence over it

[novel shoal]

https://hastebin.com/share/uguzevepub.csharp
also, the obstacles used to move faster before applying this component to the background, this makes no sense

[novel shoal]

both have 300 in the inspector

[swift crag]

rb.velocity=(Vector3.left*Time.fixedDeltaTime*speed);

this doesn't make sense

the velocity should just be Vector3.left * speed

you want to just set the velocity to a constant value.

it's not like you're adding a little to the velocity every fixed update

(in which case you would need to used deltaTime)

[novel shoal]

i was using transform.translate and forgot to modify that

why do the obstacle fall even though their rotation in blocked?

[short hazel]

Rotation locking will not prevent position changes

[novel shoal]

they fall

they rotate on the z axis

[short hazel]

You need to constrain the position to make them not move

[novel shoal]

they rotate on the z axis, i didn't say anything about not moving

[short hazel]

Why do they fall?

Falling == moving to me

[novel shoal]

they rotate

[short hazel]

Note that changing position via the transform will override the constraints you set in the Rigidbody

(as it does not use the rigidbody to move anymore)

[novel shoal]

i changed onyl the position of the background

not for the obstacles

@short hazel

[short hazel]

What do you want me to do? Post the updated code of both objects

[novel shoal]

https://hastebin.com/share/uguzevepub.csharp
https://hastebin.com/share/kafecerubi.csharp
the background has both, while the obstacles have the second only

[short hazel]

The background having both is a mistake

One uses the Rigidbody, the other uses the Transform. They'll walk over each other

[novel shoal]

one just resets the position, the other just applies a velocity

they do two different things that have nothing in common

[short hazel]

Yeah but they act on the same object in two different ways

They have something in common

[novel shoal]

how can i reset the position using rb?

[short hazel]

The background should not have a rigidbody, it doesn't need physics

[novel shoal]

i have to create a separate script with transform.Translate and find the value that makes the speed equal to the translation?

[short hazel]

You already have the "separate script": the one that handles resetting the position if it goes off-screen

[novel shoal]

yeah but how can i make the speed equal to the translation

it's hella difficult

[short hazel]

Multiplication by deltaTime to make it a "X units per second" velocity, that will match your obstacle's, since rigidbody velocity is already in units per second

[formal escarp]

why i cant attach the animation 😭

[short hazel]

You might want to disable linear drag completely on the rigidbody also, that slows it down and can make a difference over time

[novel shoal]

that guy told me to remove time.DeltaTime

[short hazel]

No

They told you to remove fixedDeltaTime in FixedUpdate

[polar acorn]

Where are you trying to attach it

[formal escarp]

sorry how come?

[polar acorn]

Because your picture is very unclear what you're actually trying to do

[formal escarp]

oh

[polar acorn]

Why does this script want a Legacy Animation Component

[formal escarp]

wait is that bad?

let me show you my script rq

[polar acorn]

You probably shouldn't be using the Animation component, and since you probably aren't that'd be why you can't add it. You don't have any.

You have an Animator

[novel shoal]

transform.Translate(30 * Time.deltaTime * Vector3.left);
rb.velocity = (Vector3.left * speed * Time.deltaTime);

[short hazel]

No deltatime for rigidbody

Just for translation

[wintry quarry]

You seem confused about the difference between Animation, AnimationClip, and Animator

[novel shoal]

okk

[wintry quarry]

should probably use speed in both places as well not 30 in one and speed in the other

[novel shoal]

how can i remove overwrite mode?

[wintry quarry]

press insert

[formal escarp]

I know the difference between Animation and Animator, but AnimationClip is the "video" if we can call it that right?

[novel shoal]

okk

[polar acorn]

AnimationClip is the actual file that contains the animation

Animator is a state machine that defines states with clips and how to transition between them

Animation is a legacy component you should not use

[formal escarp]

ooohh.

[novel shoal]

i don't have the insert key

[formal escarp]

i think i get it now, thanks.

[short hazel]

It's usually somewhere around the Delete key

[polar acorn]

What do you mean "overwrite mode"

[novel shoal]

i found out in my keybord it's the 0 in the right number pad

[novel shoal]

when you write something in a line it overwrites what's written there

[polar acorn]

Then yes, that's insert

[short hazel]

The first computers had overwrite mode on by default, wild
I also have it on Numpad 0 lol, apart from aside the Delete key

[novel shoal]

are you european?

bc i am

[short hazel]

Yup, but I don't think it makes a difference. I'm on a laptop, so the number of keys is reduced. Desktop keyboards usually have a standalone Insert key

[novel shoal]

i am from italy, have an italian Desktop keyboard, and it's not standalone

[austere monolith]

public class GunZoom : MonoBehaviour

        if(isZoomedIn = true)
        {
            
        }


    }
}

how do i fix this error?

[austere monolith]

wait wrong question

[fair marlin]

This is a UK keyboard, but it is located here

[austere monolith]

how can i make if(isZoomedIn = true) then remove crossHair

[novel shoal]

oh i have 2 ins

[short hazel]

== for starters, to compare two values. = sets a variable to a new value

[fair marlin]

Send a pic of your keyboard

[novel shoal]

now they run at the same speed, though they still fall

that's the best screenshot i was able to do

[novel shoal]

i found it, i have it where you said it was, and on the 0 too

[short hazel]

Show your rigidbody constraints on that object

[short hazel]

You're getting a 403 Forbidden on these UnityWebRequests, which is pretty much the server (itch.io) refusing the request. Not sure if it's because of the game's config, or if Itch doesn't like streaming assets

[short hazel]

That's the prefab, make sure you didn't accidentally uncheck those on the instance in the scene

Modifications will be shown in bold, with a blue margin on the left of the Inspector

[novel shoal]

wait

maybe i got it

[spiral narwhal]

In itch they say
Attempting to access a path that doesn’t point to a file — If you attempt to load a resource that doesn’t point to a file the request will fail. This includes attempting to access a folder (paths ending in /) instead of a specific file. Due to our security settings, our system will return a 403 error instead of the more commonly seen 404. (In Chrome you may see net::ERR_ABORTED 403).

So the streaming assets don't exist?

[novel shoal]

solved it

the obstacle was the child of the object whose constraints i was modifing, idk why it had a child for the image, but now it works

[short hazel]

They might exist, but the fact that you have special characters in the game name Neuer%2520Ordner might affect it. Generally when working with Unity the names you use should not have any spaces or special characters in them. The build utility breaks at the slightest inconvenience, and seems like it's the case here too

[blissful heart]

Any ideas why on the scene UI the UI image and the UI text mesh pro looks clean and on the game tab if looks horrible lmao?

all the sprites are point(no filter) already

[spiral narwhal]

Ok I will upload it again using a name without a space

[wintry quarry]

Your game window is zoomed in 1.1x

[blissful heart]

its not that 😦

already ticket preserve aspect as well

[wintry quarry]

Looks fine to me. Maybe disable compression on the sprites?

[short hazel]

Yeahhh looks like it really messed up, and encoded the URL twice lol. Unescaping %2520 yields %20, which if unescaped a second time, yields a space character. So it probably decodes it once, but the URL is still invalid

[blissful heart]

gonna try that

oh lol i already done that too forgot

always when i upload a sprite i config to point(no filter), and compression none

[blissful heart]

the problem is the text, idk why the text is getting a lil transparent at the game tab

[spiral narwhal]

Thank you so much, that seems to have been the issue

[short hazel]

Ahh Unity and path handling, it's always been an adventure

[blissful heart]

solved. changed the canva to Screen Space - Camera and them the UI adapted itself

it does that and i want it to be like that

[summer stump]

The class name and file name do not match

[blissful heart]

yeah check the name

[summer stump]

Change the class to TerrainGeneration

[minor roost]

ill try

[minor roost]

how do you fix?

[summer stump]

Just change the name of the class

[minor roost]

sorry im a begginer how?

[summer stump]

You have it called NewBehaviourScript right now
Rename it to TerrainGeneration

[blissful heart]

you can create another script and name it TerrainGenerator and copy paste the code there

your script is named monobehaviour

[summer stump]

The part where it says public class NewBehaviourScript is what what needs to be changed

[summer stump]

That is what it is inheriting from. That part is fine

[minor roost]

OHHHH ty

[ionic kelp]

one last question, why when I press jump, the character performs the action 1 time out of 10? the game therefore becomes unplayable

[minor roost]

it dont work 😢

using UnityEngine;

FixedUpdate doesn't run each frame, you need to get input in the Update function.
GetButtonDown is only true for 1 frame, and a lot of the times that's not the FixedUpdate frame.

[minor roost]

its same name

[summer stump]

Can you show a screenshot of the code in your editor, don't crop it, show the whole thing

[summer stump]

No, the code. In Visual Studio or whatever you use

[quartz anvil]

Having trouble with getting input from an input field while having a playercontroller active. I have a prefab that when placed down will activate an inputfield to show up but when i try to type in it nothing happens. I've tried manually deactivating the playcontroller to see if that would help but it doesn't. Do I need to add a method that deactivates the player movement script when the input field show up? Anyone help is appreciated

[summer stump]

Ok, remove the component/script here
#💻┃code-beginner message
And just add it again

Also, don't ignore that sdk error. You gotta fix that

[minor roost]

ok

[keen dew]

It's not saved

[summer stump]

I don't use vs code, so for my own reference, what shows whether it is saved or not? The white dot by the tab?

[minor roost]

still nothing happens

[keen dew]

Yup

[minor roost]

fixing error rn tho

[keen dew]

Isn't it the same in VS?

[summer stump]

See what nitku said. It is not saved

[summer stump]

There is a yellow bar on the left for every unsaved change, and it turns green when saved
Next to the line numbers

Also an asterisk on the tab iirc

[ionic kelp]

after correcting the code my character becomes slow and the "PlayerRun" animation to the left no longer works

[minor roost]

the script or everything?

do you have an event system in your scene?

Look at that script and find the lines underlined in red

[eternal needle]

What does the "playcontroller" have to do with this? Without seeing code or your setup, it's not really possible to suggest anything. (Besides what boxfriend said)
Have you tried getting an input field working alone, with one just preplaced in scene

[minor roost]

ty

[scenic cipher]

Have you clicked on the Input Field with your mouse before starting to type?

[quartz anvil]

@slender nymph I do. and @scenic cipher I have tried using the cursor to click on the field and it doesnt do anything either.

[slender nymph]

just to confirm, you have released the cursor in game and not just pressed escape to release it in the editor?

[quartz anvil]

@slender nymph no I havent, thats probably it isnt it

[slender nymph]

yes

[quartz anvil]

I love you

[slender nymph]

alternatively, if you don't really need the cursor for anything else, you can select the input field in code via the EventSystem

but for some reason when i click on the map it doesn't move but when I click on the object it moves

And it's also giving this for some reason

1. does the object you are clicking have a collider?
2. are you certain that the navmeshagent is actually touching the navmesh at the start?

It doesn't have a collider lemme add that

[slender nymph]

well that is definitely why it isn't working then. Physics.Raycast casts a ray and returns true if it hits a collider

I wouldn't need to change anything here except for the mesh right?

Ok so after a bit of changes I managed to add a collider to the mesh
