Take that in mind that some ppl are understanding things through examples and not just a text and that I need just a simple answear to make me realize how something works and how I should use that so sending me a whole documentation is not really gonna help me with understanding how line of codes works

polar acorn

#

And there is a saying that u shouldnt fix something that dont want to be fixed. Wich means that if I need a help with understanding why something isnt working then I am not really intrested in a whole comentations wich is like asking about grass and getting a book about biology

Or maybe use the debugger to see where something breaks/doesnt behave the way you expect it to?

There will come a time where you're trying to integrate an asset and your only sources are the code itself, an auto generated GitHub documentation page, and a 400 page forum thread

Demotivating through sending so many infromation with link when someone want a simple answear or like when ppl were telling me that I should make my first game just a simple singleplayer something instead of making multiplayer and that multiplayer is something I should do with minimum 1 year expierience. I dont want to put u down or something but try to realize that there is ppl who are diffrent than you and they can learn faster than you and dont need a whole documentation to realize something because they can just see thing how they work and learn

eg. compare its value to something else

#

you missed a step basically

polar acorn
#

What do you want to check about jump input? What is the thing you want to know about it that'd answer "yes" to your statement

rich adder
#

wait no sorry jumpinput is a bool

proper flume
#

That's weird. Is it because it's using the Input.GetButton("Jump")? I figured that would be a bool, considering it would take extreme precision to press the spacebar halfway lol.

rich adder
#

you're right myb i misread the code

polar acorn
proper flume
#

You're okay lol. I'm basically trying to say, if the key is pressed for jump, and the player is on the ground, then.

polar acorn
#

It's defined as a float up top

rich adder
#

ahh yes wtf

#

this threw me off
jumpInput = Input.GetButtonDown("Jump");

#

so the error was correct

#

as usual xD

proper flume
#

Oh snap, okay. My B. Okay, so just change it to a bool, got it.

rich adder
#

xD

proper flume
#

I don't know how I had jumpInputReleased set to a bool RIGHT beneath it, and somehow still missed that lol

polar acorn
#

I'm surprised that other line isn't throwing an error itself

Which one?

jumpInput = Input.GetButtonDown("Jump");

you should be getting a CS0029

How would i go about implementing a static message log which maxes out at like 24 messages? The code part should'nt be the problem, rather the choice of Unity object. Not sure if i should have like 24 pre-positioned gameobject in which i just change the text, or if there is a cleaner way to do that

#

I think so, you told me to use a List, but thats not quite the answer to the question i have

anyway I would use a Vertical layout group

inside a scrollview

fathom ether
#

My wording was probably bad, my bad

#

I'll look into layout groups, thanks

rich adder
#

before the line 65

#

since you cant convert bool to float

proper flume
#

So, using that same code I had before ( I already updated to bool) it's working now, but for some reason it's missing inputs. I can sit on the ground for like 6-7 button presses (spacebar) and it will only register once.

proper flume
polar acorn
proper flume
#

Ah, it was because I was on fixed update. Somebody told me that movement should be restricted to FixedUpdate that way framerate doesn't cause issues. Is there a reason why jumping doesn't apply to that?

rich adder
proper flume
#

That's how I had it before, but for some reason having it there caused missed input. I moved Jump() to update instead, and now it works fine.

Well, I thought all problems were solved but using this is causing me to space jump. If I attach //isGrounded = false anywhere in my jump statement, my player begins floating away. What's causing this? https://hastebin.com/share/nimaseroxa.csharp

Is it possible to have an empty modified? As in I have a player character jumping midair after falling off of a ledge because there's no trigger midair to set isGrounded to false. Could I add a // OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision collision) and then make collision.gameObject.CompareTag(//and somehow leave this empty to denote that the player isn't on the ground?)

OnCollisionEXIT tells you when you EXIT a collision

if you want to know when you are leaving a collision you should use OnCollisionExit

Hi guys, i need help

#

How to make unity 2d game have 3d effects(parralax doesnt work on my game)

swift crag
#

Parallax will happen when different objects move at different speeds.

#

normally, perspective does this for you

#

If you have an orthographic camera (which you usually do for a 2D game), there is no perspective at all

wintry quarry
swift crag
#

so you have to artificially create the parallax

shadow junco
#

I have 2d platformer type game, the theme is like castle dungeons and i want to make it 3d(when i move my camera i start to see the side of the walls

swift crag
#

oh, that's not parallax

wintry quarry
shadow junco
swift crag
#

yeah, you can mix 2D and 3D renderers just fine

shadow junco
wintry quarry
#

The answer is to use 3D art models and a perspective camera, that's all

swift crag
#

maybe you want something like Paper Mario

#

that's a mostly-3D world that just has some flat stuff in it

shadow junco
#

Btw im rly beginer

Its pixelart

wintry quarry
#

there's no magic button you can press to turn your 2D art into 3D lol

shadow junco
#

Maybe that makes it easier

wintry quarry
#

it makes it easier to tell you that you will need to redo all of the art if you want it to be 3D

shadow junco
#

I made my map using tile map, would it still work?

No. You will need to use 3D models instead of 2d sprite art

||Damn slow bot making my sarcasm not work||

dusk hornet

yeah kinda ruined it

buoyant knot
#

but idk if it has proper support for 3D renderring and collider generation

#

Tilemap itself stores everything with Vector3Int

polar acorn
#

but it doesn't deal in Voxels

buoyant knot
#

Tilemap as a component is mostly just a container

#

you need TilemapCollider2D and TilemapRenderer to actually use it. I do not think Unity has equivalent 3D tools

#

to use tilemap like minecraft. But maybe someone made an asset or package etc for that

#

digiholic is probably right, tbh

Hey y'all. So im making a match 3 type game.
I was wondering does anyone know how i could add boosters?
Eg. Color bomb booster (auto generates on the board at a random position when selected and player can use it to destroy desired color they chose)
Hammer booster (allows the player to destroy a selected block without using a move)
Arrow booster (auto generates in a random position on the board and removes a whole row or column when used)

These boosters will be purchased using in game currency or given to the player at random times like after completing an event or something like that

buoyant knot
#

that is a very broad question

#

your blocks should be represented as a base class from which specific types of blocks derive

So, I've been trying to google this but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm making a Hollow Knight clone demo, and I've got the movement down pretty good, but now it's time for the more advanced movement options like dashing, double jumping and wall jumping. The problem is while I can find the code for making the actions themselves, I don't want them to be something you can do right away, and want to impliment them as object upgrades you can pick up later down the line. Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction for finding something like that?

frosty hound
#

Wrap the movement of those actions in a bool check that IsDoubleJumpUnlocked

#

Set it to true when they unlock it, done.

Thank you

queen adder
# polar acorn This is a lot of question. Which specific part did you need, and what do you alr...

I have to board setup.
So i can adjust the layout of the board. The amount of different dots/candies. The amount of obstacles like blank spaces, comcrete tiles, slime tiles etc.
I can create different bombs when a certain number of the same dot is matched.
I can set score goals to tell the player what they need to collect to win the level.

I basically have a working game. I just have no idea how to add those boosters.
There is a tutorial on Godot to add boosters in a candy crush clone game. But it uses GDscript so i dont know how to change it to c#. Because that stuff looks complicated lol.

Also my levels are scriptable objects.

Not sure if any of this helps

#

Sorry for spelling errors im on my phone and seem to be misspelling things alot today

polar acorn

#

for things like collisions, is it more sensible to do using layers or interfaces? Like if i want my bullets to collide with enemies, walls and doors, but not my player, my bullets, enemy bullets etc.

frosty hound
#

Use the physics layer matrix to do general ignoring of collisions

queen adder
# polar acorn "Adding boosters" is still a vague and undefined question. Break it down into sm...

See i know that i will need a button that will apply that booster to the specific level the player is on. If they exit the level then the booster is lost.

Also if they purchase a booster then it will have to apply to that booster button that they now have another booster to use.

Its just the fact of how to actually implement the booster on the board once the player clicks on that booster button.

frosty hound
#

You keep adding to the list of things you need to do, which is what's making your question too big. IF you know you need x, y and z, start with one of those an work on it.

If your main issue is how to get boosters to appear on the board, then don't worry about how they get the booster, just start with a "press Space bar and a booster appears on the board". Figure out that logic first before handling the player actually owning the boosters.

Actually, the more programming I do the less public fields I use - from my experience it's better to just keep most things private and if you really want to expose something to other classes then either a method or property is good. It's easier to control what's actually happening to that field

You move it a tiny bit from start value, cache that in newValue, then move it FROM the start value again

#

It doesn't ever go anywhere, because you never update the start point

#

float newValue = MoveTowards(1, 2, .1);

This will return 1.1 over and over

float currentValue = 1;
currentValue = MoveTowards(currentValue, 2, .1);

This will return 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4

I have a script named Dropdown.cs and it obviously has its associated .meta file. I'm trying to rename the script to DropDown.cs, but whenever I do that, Unity gives me a warning about the .meta file having inconsistent casing, and lets me know it has reverted the name back to the "correct" name, which is not what I want. I know that I can't rename meta files, so how can I rename this script?

polar acorn
#

And you probably shouldn't use either of those names

modest barn
#

Yeah I know I shouldn't be using those names, but I'm just renaming it within the Unity Project window

polar acorn
#

Renaming the file in unity should rename the meta file as well

modest barn
#

Nah

# 
Asset file 'Assets/Scripts/DropDown.cs.meta' and meta file 'Assets/Scripts/Dropdown.cs.meta' has inconsistent casing.
Renaming meta file succeeded.
polar acorn

And if you know both names are bad, why are you still using them

modest barn

Rename it different

then back to DropDown

if you actually change the name, then it will work

But also don't do that

because it shouldn't be called DropDown

error CS2001: Source file 'C:\Users\s9316622\Documents\GitHub\CipherDecoderApp\Assets/Scripts/DropDown.cs' could not be found.

You should give it an actually descriptive name that matches what it does

modest barn
polar acorn
# modest barn <@153950686088921088> as I said ^^

The answer is: According to windows, those two names are the same. Unity and C# care about the capitalization, but windows does not. As long as you are renaming something in a way that is just capitalization, it's not going to work, so you should give it a real name

modest barn
#

I renamed the file to DropdownMenu

Did you rename it in windows or unity?

if you set it in inspector you dont need to change it at all in code, just change the inspector

So, the bullet is a trigger, meaning it does not physically collide with anything. It's not going to stop when it hits a collider

Trigger colliders do not use (as much) prediction compared to regular ones, as such projectiles can pass through without reporting if they're fast enough

that's a debug log of the transform of the bullets next to my player inspector and they are on the same z coord

Non-triggers collision messages are reported from the Rigidbody, that's probably not the case for triggers

right now, my script makes the enemy go between two points and be idle for a while. now i want to change it up so that the enemy always stays at the point closest to the player. i am not quite sure how to achive it. i guess compaing the difference between enemy. pos.x and the player, both points and the player and then let the enemy go to the one with the smallest difference, however idk how to approach that

Hey guys, I only have this IF here to check if I can spawn the boss. 100% of the time I play it.. it works.. sometimes when some friends play it, they spawn the boss at level 28..30.. 32.. and that should not happen.. how can i debugg this ? with me always works and I always spawn him at lvl 50 or 15m game. cs if (_player.playerLevel >= 50 && _canSpawnLastBO || Time.time >= 900 && _canSpawnLastBO)

short hazel
#

they spawn the boss at level 28..30.. 32..
Technically it's possible, if they've been playing for more than 900 seconds

#

Also the condition can be simplified down to if (_canSpawnLastBO && (_player.playerLevel >= 50 || Time.time >= 900))

#

Do note that if your user hangs around in the main menu for 14 minutes, then plays, then the boss will spawn after 1 minute!

Are you sure you didn't attach this script to something else by accident? Tip, you can do Debug.Log("stuff", gameObject); and upon selecting the log in the console, it will highlight the object that sent it in the Hierarchy

I have a character controller that gets moved with a velocity value every tick but for some reason it likes to stick on ceilings

# 


        

        // Hit Ceiling
        if (hit.normal.y < 0f) {
            playerVelocity.y = -1f;
            Debug.Log("Hit Ciel " + hit.normal);
            return;
        }```

like it works if I'm not moving horizontally it seems but if I have a tiny bit of horizontal movement you like stick to the ceiling and float down slowly for a second before unsticking and falling at normal speed

yes im intending to skip the rest of the code if it hits the cieling

tribal minnow
real falcon
#

actually I thikn I fixed it because I think I know what's happening

polar acorn
real falcon
#

the character controller isn't perfect and it collides multiple times when you hit the ceiling while moving

solemn fractal
real falcon
#

and the vent is asynchronous probably

#

so I think it's setting the velocity to -1 more than once, which means it falls slowly, and it collides multiple times because it must be like intersecting the wall or something idk

#

but regardless making it so it sets it to the minimum of playervel.y and -1 works

#

im assuming it's because the collider somehow is touching the ceiling, then moves down a bit, and then touches the ceiling again

#

or that collision event can be called multiple times between each update

short hazel
# solemn fractal no they were playing for 5minutes level 28 and that happened..

Can't verify that myself. Does it display the time somewhere as they play it?
If not, what you can do is make a "debug text" with a UI TextMeshPro text, and display all three values of _canSpawnLastSO, playerLevel, and Time.time, as well as the result of the if statement.

Then build and ship your game to your friend, and have them note the values when the boss spawns

#

The delegate Action<InputAction.CallbackContext> will only accept methods or functions that have the following signature:

void Method(InputAction.CallbackContext);

Or in other words, a method or function that returns void and takes one argument of type InputAction.CallbackContext

#

The lambda function you've given here takes no argument! It's not compatible.

    }``` Here when I level up is one method I use to update it.  for the time it is this one:  ```cs
    private void UpdateUITimer(){

        int minutes = Mathf.FloorToInt(currentTime / 60);
        int seconds = Mathf.FloorToInt(currentTime % 60);
        countdownText.text = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);

    }```
short hazel
#

Time scale set to zero, intentional?

solemn fractal
#

yes, when I level up appears in the screen some stuff to choose, so I stop the time to give time to the player to choose

#

when player chose it time is 1 again

short hazel
#

I see

#

What's the value of currentTime and how do you update it?

solemn fractal
#

in update method: cs currentTime += Time.deltaTime;

#

this is inside my UIManager that is an object that is always on the hierarchy since start

short hazel
#

You might want to use that everywhere instead of using Time.time as a quick reference. These might differ with time scale, but as long as you don't spend 3 minutes between each level it should be alright to keep as is
I don't see any issues, can you post the code that triggers the boss spawn?

#

The whole class

solemn fractal
#

yes sure, thank you for your time. I can try to maybe try something. Thinking now. I normally get to level 47 sometimes 50 when is close or at 15m.. so I can remove the time check as its the same as I am already almost 50 close to 15m.. and if the bug stops. that was the thing..

How do I access a bool variable saved to a script which is attached to a game object, from another game object using GetComponent?
I tried this:

{
    public GameObject ObjectWithScript;

...

if(ObjectWithScript.GetComponent<MyScript>(boolVariable))
        {
            //Code
        }```
polar acorn

#

Can GetComponent be used not just on GameObjects?

ivory bobcat
#

Get component doesn't take an argument btw

# 
..<MyScript>().boolVariable```
polar acorn
ivory bobcat
#

But preferably what digi said

polar acorn
#

just make your variable the type you actually want

#

and then get your bool from that

south current
polar acorn
#

It's whatever you called it

ivory bobcat
#

iecs public MyScript myScript;//Exposed to the inspector ... if(myScript.boolVariable) ...

#

The object you drag in from the inspector will need to have the appropriate component script attached to it.

#

And it should be something from the hierarchy-scene unless you're really wanting to evaluate/modify prefabs.

south current
ivory bobcat
#

It's whatever you've named the script (yes, the class)

#

Referred to as the type

south current
#

does that mean I have to use the same class for the script I wanna access too?

polar acorn
ivory bobcat
#

Each component on an object in the scene refers to an instance of the script.

#

The script that you originally wrote can be thought of as a template or blueprint for many other objects to own their own instance of.

#

You should not be creating multiple identical scripts with different names

ivory bobcat
south current
#

alright, thank you very much!

ivory bobcat
#

Reference the most useful component to avoid having to call excessive get-component calls.

timber tide
ivory bobcat
#

Every component would have the gameObject and transform properties, so you shouldn't be referencing those unless the reference solely only uses either of the two components only.

So guys, tell me what would be the best solution to make a functional crouching system that allows you to crouch but if you have an object above you that is less than the player's height, will the player continue crouching until he has air of the same height?

Hey guys i have a question. I have this script which destroys any gameobject which touches. I was thinking how could i add a CompareTag? Also. I have a script for picking up and dropping stuff. But even when this is dropped it shoots when i click, and i dont have any clue on how to unable that unless i pick it up.

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

public class Gun : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform BulletSpawnPoint;
    public GameObject Bullet;
    public float BulletSpeed = 5;
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            var bullet = Instantiate(Bullet, BulletSpawnPoint.position, BulletSpawnPoint.rotation);
            bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = BulletSpawnPoint.forward * BulletSpeed;
        }
    }
}
#

(This is my script for the gun)

slender nymph
#

disable its Gun component when you drop it and enable it when you pick it up

formal escarp
#

i am not sure how to do that, but i just had an idea to avoid that problem.

So, I'm trying to write a dash script following a tutorial, but it looks like me and the tutorial guy used a different way to flip our sprites. I tried calling //currentScale from my Flip() method but I get the error CS0103. I tried making the //currentScale.x public and private, but it breaks my script. Is there another way to do this? https://gdl.space/yopopiyadi.cs

slender nymph
#

if you want your currentScale variable to be accessible to other objects you need to declare it in the class as public. Right now it is declared inside of a method which makes it a local variable so it cannot be public.

proper flume
#

So if I just remove it from that method and place it at the start as a float then I can call it in another method?

slender nymph
#

well you'll still want to assign to it in that method, but otherwise yes. as long as it is declared in the class it can be used throughout the entire class. and if you make it public it can be accessed by other objects

proper flume
#

Well, I'm trying to call on it's transform properties in my Flip() method, basically trying to write the dash so that it see's my currentScale.x at that exact moment, so it can tell which way to dash.

slender nymph
#

realistically you don't need to use the currentScale variable for that, just access its transform.localScale

proper flume
#

So I guess I'm still confused. If I assigned it to a float, say as private Vector3 currentScale = gameObject.transform.localScale; as long as the remainder of my Flip() method remains the same, would calling it in my Coroutine still allow it to see those changes?

slender nymph
#

also it isn't a float. you literally have the correct data type on the line you originally declare it on

proper flume
#

Oh whoops. That's not what I meant. Just assigning it as a Vector3 var, would that still work?

#

Oh nevermind, I see what you meant.

proper flume
#

So, now I have the dash working, and I moved on to a double jump which I want to operate the same ( only being able to double jump when it's unlocked outside of the script) and I adjusted my code as correctly as I could with his code based off of what I had ( he didn't have a jump buffer or coyotetime on his script) but nothing happens. I don't get an error, my jump isn't broken, but my character also isn't double jumping whether the bool for the unlock is true or false. Where did I go wrong? https://gdl.space/lovareluqi.cs

That's subjective; it could be either. It depends on the person making it and the complexity . . .

You don't store the number of jumps?

proper flume
#

No.. Am I supposed to? I haven't seen anything about that when it comes to making a PlayerController

cosmic dagger
proper flume
#

I dunno, that's never really fit my needs. It's just a Hollow Knight clone demo. Keeping track of the number or jumps or especially limiting the amount of jumps would seriously hinder my platform game with jumping in it lol. Also, I'm having a hard time trying to find out how to make a counter.

cosmic dagger
#

When you shoot from a gun, you decrease the amount of available bullets in the magazine. When there are none, the firearm is empty, and you can no longer fire (until you reload). It's the same concept . . .

#

I don't understand how tracking the number of jumps would hinder the game. You're just storing a value . . .

proper flume
#

I had misread what you said. I thought you were saying that I needed to have a finite value for how many times a player can jump.

#

Running that, allows it to pass through the scripts and the jump counter goes up while normal jumping as expected, but with doubleJumpIsUnlocked set to true, there's no double jump, and it doesn't count a second jump midair.

cosmic dagger
proper flume
#

So if my jump counter is going up, and I can jump but not double jump, does that mean maybe that the conditions for the double jump are being met actively all the time? I'm confused lol.

cosmic dagger
#

You're logic (and its order) seem to be the issue . . .

proper flume
#

Is it maybe because I called isGrounded twice technically? On line 167 I call coyoteTimeCounter which is an if statement of isGrounded, then I call isGrounded on the second if statement on 168.

cosmic dagger
#

You only need to check the jump buffer and coyote time when grounded. They don't matter when airborne . . .

#

Also, it doesn't make sense to call Jump every frame. It's an action that requires input. It should execute when jump is pressed . . .

proper flume
#

Yeah, but because Jump() calls on jumpInput, trying to put it in FixedUpdate() results in missed inputs.

cosmic dagger
#

I didn't say anything about FixedUpdate; Jump doesn't call jumpInput. Not sure what that means . . .

#

Basically, check for jump input. If it occurs, call the Jump method . . .

Share screenshots showing the unity workload installed and the correct ide selected in the unity external code editor setting.

flint wind

how would that work? if speed is set to 6 then speed >= 0 would be true

slender nymph
#

the unity workload is something you were supposed to install when going through the configuration guide

teal viper
#

If you don't understand, you probably didn't go through the config guide. These things are mentioned in it.

#

Then either you looked at the wrong guide or wasn't paying attention.

slender nymph
#

it's literally the first set of steps in the guide

teal viper

Select the Workloads tab, then select the Game development with Unity workload
#

Why would you ask the yelling people about it?πŸ˜…

Also, configuring the ide is a direct answer to your question.

i don't see anyone yelling, and configuring your IDE is not dumb, its paramount to programming with Unity and C# . . .

ah yes "some dumb thing"
aka the tool you use to write code. that's certainly not important at all, especially since it definitely doesn't do useful things like help you fix errors and even provide autocomplete /s

You only need 10 min of concentration.

flint wind
slender nymph
#

which part?

flint wind
slender nymph
#

those are two different options that would achieve the same thing. which one would you like to do?

flint wind
slender nymph
#

alternatively you could just grab the magnitude of your moveDir vector. since it is normalized it will either be 1 or 0

#

or rather your direction vector, in fact you are already checking its magnitude. throw the Play in there and just stick an else on it to call Stop

flint wind
slender nymph
#

i would only call Play if it isn't already playing, but yes.

flint wind
slender nymph
#

surely you know how to type else

eternal falconBOT
flint wind
slender nymph
#

just use else

timber sundial
slender nymph
# flint wind well I meant in the parenthesis after if

you do not need an else if there because if direction.magnitude is not greater than or equal to 0.01 then it is going to be 0 because direction is normalized so it's magnitude is going to be either 0 or 1 with no in between

what is a "saver"

shrewd gazelle
#

Save spot

slender nymph
#

be specific that can mean many things

shrewd gazelle
#

A collider in which whenever it get touched the game gets saved and the player respawns from there

slender nymph
#

well have you got a system to save the game yet?

shrewd gazelle
#

No thats what I need help with

slender nymph
#

have you bothered googling how to set up a save system in unity? because there are plenty of tutorials for that

fierce shuttle
#

Tbf, there are many ways data can be saved, and some tutorials may use BinaryFormatter to save, which is no longer a safe way of saving, any other type of saving tutorial may be useful though

flint wind

eternal needle
proper flume
#

It is, I'll post a screenshot.

eternal needle
#

well it is unused basically, you are never actually doing anything with the value

proper flume
eternal needle
#

it is private, no methods or properties return it as a value, you dont use it to check anything, you could remove it and your code would function the exact same

proper flume
#

Removing private and just leaving it as void WallSlide() returns the same error. :/

eternal needle
#

your WallSlide() method is used

proper flume
#

What about line 150?

eternal needle
# proper flume What about line 150?

Yes you are setting it to false, but what affect does that have in your program? What line of code checks the value of isWallSliding and does something based on it

proper flume
#

Well that part hasn't been written yet. But at this point in the tutorial I'm following he's still able to go back into the editor to assign values to public Transform wallCheck;
and public LayerMask wallLayer; and it's not updating those fields for me because it's returning this error. Is he just on an older build or something that lets him bypass that?

eternal needle
#

the warning is not a problem

Ah okay, that makes sense. I had some spelling issues that needed fixed, now it's updating. I appreciate the help.

how do you check if something is on your screen? UnityChanThink I saw OnVisible but that's not entirely it

#

I need to be able to check from an empty game object aswell

rare basin
#

OnBecameVisible for renderers, but for empty game objects you would need your own function the check if its on screen or not

# 
    void CheckIfOnScreen()
    {
        Vector3 screenPoint = mainCamera.WorldToViewportPoint(transform.position);

        bool onScreen = screenPoint.x > 0 && screenPoint.x < 1 && screenPoint.y > 0 && screenPoint.y < 1 && screenPoint.z > 0;

        if (onScreen)
        {
            Debug.Log("Object is on screen!");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Object is off screen!");
        }
    }

sth like that

Plenty of people seem to think that learning unity and c# are different. They are, but unity literally use C# and it's what you code in.
If you did find some C# tutorials, try to learn as much as you can before you go to unity again.

fierce shuttle
# split dragon I thought it worked differently with names (I tried it: "", (), <>, etc.

It does work differently, those symbols have different meanings depending on where they are used, if C# confuses you I would suggest maybe going through the C# courses on w3schools, most of them are interactable on their site, they also break down the language into various subjects, which may help as keywords when searching up what things do, or if you prefer, you could find a "beginner C#" playlist on YouTube and follow along their (likely Console) examples on various topics like functions, properties, classes, etc

static cedar
#

"" - string notations.
<> - generic parameters.
() - argument parameters.
Docs wouldn't say this out loud i think, except for the brackets where youtubers, for some reason, explain functions as calling through a telephone or something. UnityChanLOL

#

Anyways, you're kinda just expected to understand what these are after a while. UnityChanPanicWork

fierce shuttle
#

Seeing them in context helps as well over time, for example SomeFunc() is different from if(condition), they both use the same symbols but mean different things to the compiler

static cedar
#

Yeah () is used really often. But they're always used as parameters, always.

#

Even more so with {}, I could call them as code blocks but can do more than that such as in pattern matching.

Hi, people. In game manager in Update method i have a whle(gameIsOn) loop where i update score. By deafult it is set to false. I have a method StartSession(), where i change gameIsOn to true. By some reason editor just freezes on that while loop. Can someone explain why?

tough lagoon
slender nymph
#

you realistically just need an if statement not a while loop

bold nova
#

i initialized it with false

static cedar
#

There's not a lot of ways to freeze.

tough lagoon
#

A while statement will keep executing what is inside until untrue. It won't allow rendering or anything else. while is dangerous and will lock your game

slender nymph
bold nova
#

ooooh, got it

#

thanks

slender nymph
#

also Update is called every frame. so just swap your loop for an if statement since it's something you want to happen per frame rather than all in one frame

bold nova
#

the code should work as a timed score, when every 3 sec it adds up 3 * multiplier, so i think it sould all be completed in one frame

#

looks like this

#

if (timer > 3)
{
if (score > 120)
scoreMultiplier = 2f;
score += (int)(3 * scoreMultiplier);
scoreText.text = "Score: " + score;
timer = 0;
}

#

timer = Time.deltaTime

slender nymph
#

yes so you do not want a loop for that. just the if statement

#

also you do not want that to complete all in one frame. imagine getting 3 seconds worth of points in 0.016 seconds

languid spire
slender nymph
#

oh yeah that too

bold nova
#

yeah, finally works! thanks

#

Bc you want to add up Time.deltatime (its 0.00something, a really low number) and if your timer is always = time.deltatime, it'll never be 3

float timer += Time.deltatime;
this is not valid
