Btw, I still recommend you going through C# basics/manual.
Ideally you want to understand 100% of the tutorial code by the time you finish it.

possible to refer to a different light source instead of GetMainLight(); in unity 3d unlit shader graph?

for example a spot light

also im guessing that i wont be able to refer to MULTIPLE light sources would i

Hey guys, does anyone have a simple camera/wasd movement script with gravity that I could just copy into my game? Thanks, I haven't been able to find a good one after googling it for about an hour...

Hey guys. Quick question.

I have a prefab that spawns a "pet" when the player purchases that "pet". I can animate it to walk around and spawn at a certain place on the game view by using a spawn point.

But im trying to make it so it walk around in like a little "pen".

So i will be creating a enclosure for the pet.
So when the pet spawn i want it to freely walk around in that enclosure.

Is there a way to achieve this? I dont want it walking past the enclouse fence. So if it reaches the fence it will turn around and walk somewhere else. Like its trapped in a box and it cant go past a certain point of that box.

#

Or will i have to animate a path for each and every pet i make?

Or is there a way to make say a movement script for the pet to freely wanter around in that enclosure (box)

timber tide
#

implement yourself some roomba AI

#

if bonk, turn around

I'm trying to make my player script call a function from a script on another object. The player script doesn't know what the script is called, but it does know what it inherits from. I've been using SendMessage() to achieve this, but I'm not a fan of using strings to call functions. Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

timber tide
#

SendMessage is usually for lazy debugging

languid spire
#

you can use GetComponent with the base class and it will find any script which inherits from that class

timber tide
#

I wouldn't mind it too much on smaller projects, but it's a linear search through all methods and components so it can get out of control

how could i check if any keyboard key is pressed? bc if(Input.anyKeyDown) returns true if mouse is pressed aswell

one more question

#

when i have a button and i click it i have it "selected", when i then click space it clicks it again, same with the slider, once i have selected it i can move it with "a" and "d", how can i disable that?

Does anyone know why this material is returning null, despite the filepath being copied and pasted?:
Material textMaterial = new Material(Resources.Load<Material>("Assets/TextMesh Pro/Resources/Fonts & Materials/Futura Medium Test.mat"));

teal viper
#

Also, I don't think that's a valid path for loading via resources.

#

It's supposed to be relative to the resources folder.

why i cant add TMPro, i wanted to replace old text component in GameJolt API but i cant add TMP

#

ofc

#

it working in other scripts

burnt vapor
#

Is this script part of an assembly definition?

fringe plover
#

idk...

burnt vapor
#

If so, add TMPro as a dependency

fringe plover
#

how?

burnt vapor
#

How do you mean you don't know? This is your project

fringe plover
#

this is GameJolt API, i wanted to replace old text component in api with TMP, i already said that

burnt vapor
#

It is part of an assembly definition, because it's part of GameJoltRuntime rather than Assembly-CSharp

#

Are you editing a library you installed? You should not do that

#

You should either request a change or find a proper implemented solution

fringe plover
#

this is plugin

That doesn't really tell me anything

#

Hi. Is there a way to know if an object is like to the right or to the left relative to another's object forward vector please?

#

like I could use some inverse transforms, but when I rotate the object it is taking the inverse from, the right and left are inverted. Like I would need it to be in world right and left, I don't know if I'm explaining myself😅

hard sigil
#

guys why I can't fully move my mouse up and down? maybe something with the script x y ?

queen adder
#

@glossy eagle you could compare positions, if object position.x is less than this position.x it is to the left and so on

glossy eagle
#

that wouldn't work because it is in 3D so position x being greater than the other one wouldn't always mean it is in its right relative to the forward vector, but that gave me an idea on how to do it I think, thank you so much 😄

i have a script that generates a Capsule by code, but i need to add rings to the "cylinder" part of the capsule, how do i do that? im very new to mesh generation

heady sorrel
#

So probably a really scrub question:

I have an IEnumerator that doesn't seem to function correctly, I can call it properly but it doesn't go past the "WaitForSeconds" part in my character controler state machine.

I moved the IEnumerator to the root of my state machine to make sure it doesn't get deactivated and the time should work correctly so I'm not sure why it isn't going past it.

PlayerStateMachine.cs

    public IEnumerator IJumpResetRoutine()
    {
        Debug.Log("Enter Routine");
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        JumpCount = 0;
        Debug.Log("Exit Routine");
    }
}```

`PlayerJumpState`
```cs
public override void InitializeSubState()
    {
        Context.Animator.SetBool(Context.IsJumpHash, false);
        if (Context.IsJumpPress)
        {
            Context.RequireNewJumpPress = true;
        }
        Context.CurrentJumpResetRoutine = Context.StartCoroutine(Context.IJumpResetRoutine());
    }```
#

"Context" refers to variables back in the main state machine script

#

anyone know what it could be? 🤔

eager elm
heady sorrel
#

No, but I think I might have figured it out

#

I have a HandleJump that resets it on an enter state

#

but it seems my enterstate triggers after my InitializeSubState

#

so it start the routine and on the same frame setops it

How do you debug it?

halcyon summit

if (textMaterial == null) { Debug.LogError("Material not loaded"); } else { Debug.Log("Material name: " + textMaterial.name); }

Directly after the Resource Load.

#

Regarding access to various components of a GameObject, most of the time I see people grabbing those in Awake/Start using GetComponent<T>().
I usually expose a SerializeField of the component types that I link in the inspector as it seems to me that it fits the dependency inversion principle and would be more robust.

Is there a common best practice between those two ? Any shortcomings I am missing for extensively referencing components via a SerializeField ?

Hi anywhere where i can send my script and ask for help finding my bug? i am genuinely at my wits end with this

gaunt ice
#

just ask

spare sparrow
#

Ok so i have a script that is supposed to spawn trees/flora randomly on a tilemap. It spawns them from higher y coordinates to low y coordinates to avoid tree sprites spawning on top of each other.

i have a gameObject[] of multiple tree sprites of which a random one is selected and spawned.

for some reason when i drag the same prefab into every slot in this list the spawning works fine.
But every time i try to select from a random of 3 prefabs they spawn on top of each other/ ones with lower y coordinates are sometimes spawned first.

All the prefabs are rendered in the same way and have the same pivot points. Why could this be the case?

Here my code: https://paste.ofcode.org/PzcWpnDhRVavaVZkpmU8Gq

gaunt ice

show the screenshot of expected result and what you get now?

#

btw i think it should be the problem of sorting order

old gorge
summer stump
# old gorge any opinions regarding this question please ?

They are essentially the same. The engine still needs to do work to link the serialized fields when runtime starts, but that IS marginally faster than using getcomponent (unless the getcomponent fails).
Drag and drop is not really dependency injection at all though

I would say there is a negligable difference between them, but I personally do GetComponent mostly because I like to code more than I like to use the inspector.

But generally drag and drop is preferred because of how easy it is, and it will not work if you do something wrong, whereas getcomponent will happily let you try something that won't work

i have a small question its basicly my first bigger code that hasnt been done with a tutorial / reference and i couldnt find any solutiong or cause of this.

i wanted to create if statements that have 2 conditions instead of just one but when i want to check if they are true by == it puts it out as a mistake in VS

image.png
wintry quarry
#

you did if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) < this was the end of the if statement.
Everything you have after that is ???

queen adder
#

aah so i need another () around the entire thing to clearify it belongs to the if statement ?

wintry quarry
#

you need to not end the parentheses before the rest of your condition

#

well it depends how you look at it. Basically an if statement needs to look like this:

if (something)
{

}```
#

what you have is this:

if (something) some random extra stuff;
{

}```
#

the semicolon is wrong too^

#

the whole expression needs to go inside the ()

queen adder
#

i did what i thaught i understood and it went away i might have just explained what i ment wrong. dose this fix it ?

if ((Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) == true && (SprintMet > Sprintmin) == true)
{
    Running = true;
    CharackterSpeed = SprintSpeed;
}
#

it dosnt Line it with red anymore

summer stump
queen adder
#

aaah now i understand what you ment hmm now im confused why i had the extra brackets in the first place.
is there any use in having them the way they were like this (if it wasnt an Error)

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) && SprintMet > Sprintmin

also ty for the help

#

ooo hold on no == check ? :0

wintry quarry
summer stump

#

if something is true, it's true.

bool x = true;
bool isXTrue = x == true; // you COULD do this but it's useless. Why not just do:
bool isXTrue = x; // x is ALREADY a true/false (boolean) value.```
#

== true is redundant, 100% of the time

# faint sluice My colleagues absolutely despise use of `Action` feature More specifically subsc...

Theres nothing really wrong with using an Action, its just one of many ways to handle events, regardless of what you use, youll still have to subscribe and unsubscribe from any event type, including a UnityEvent, in most cases, objects will have to manage when they (un)subscribe in their lifecycle (and events can have anonymous functions such as => ... or delegate { ... }, these cannot be unsubscribed easily unless the thing they subscribed to is destroyed and GC-collected before the object subscribing, AFAIK) - its often better to subscribe functions that match the event params anyway, so those functions can be unsubscribed (and easier to read imo), and you should always unsubscribe, as its possible to cause memory leaks if you manage events poorly, just as anything in programming can cause problems with poor management, though I think those are smaller problems depending on your project architecture

I would maybe ask them to elaborate, you can also ask them what alternatives/programming patterns they prefer over events, and the context in how they choose to structure code - events on their own is not a problem, but it also may not be a solution to every use case, depending on what is trying to be solved to begin with

Hey Guys! I apologize for all the code links, I am not 100% sure where my breakdown was. So this was working before when I had enemy object manually added into the scene but now i am trying to instantiate random enemies for an encounter. My attempted flow of logic is Player controller randomly generates enemies and passes it to the Battle Manager, I am getting a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on line 70 in the Battle Manager when i load that script. Added screenshot of the enemy being added.

image.png
wintry quarry
#

btw this line of code seems like something that should just happen inside EnemyBattleUnit. There's no need for an external script to be doing this.

pulsar lodge
#

Sorry that should read newEnemy.name = newEnemy.GetComponent<EnemyBattleUnit>().Character.Name + "_" + i;

wintry quarry
#

except maybe for passing in the i variable

pulsar lodge
#

forgot i updated that after creating the gdl link

wintry quarry
#

although it's possible that Character is the thing that's null

#

you need to debug and find out

pulsar lodge
#

I believe it is what is null.

wintry quarry
#

well, verify that first

#

then proceed

pulsar lodge
#

i guess what i'm not understanding is why its null, since there is a get; set; in Enemy battle unit for character

polar acorn
wintry quarry
pulsar lodge
#

it is

wintry quarry
#

where?

#

How?

polar acorn
#

what is it assigned to

pulsar lodge
wintry quarry
#

Doesn't look like you ran Setup anywhere

polar acorn
pulsar lodge
#

yeah i think thats my issue, the data passed to setup is supposed to be this new character

image.png
#

that enemiesInBattle gets this:

image.png
#

so i guess moving that line of code will just solve it maybe

polar acorn
#

So it has no Character

pulsar lodge
#

@summer stump yeah thats also an issue i think, its being loaded on start

#

when the scene loads

summer stump
#

I reread the code and think digi is right about the issue. newEnemy doesn't have setup called on it
It is added to a different list than the one you iterate it looks like

#

The commented line would be the right list.

But if SetUpBattle is in Awake, it would be called too early anyways

wintry quarry
#

either that or stop trying to access Character right away

#

until after Setup runs

#

in fact you probably should just do that naming thing inside Setup

pulsar lodge
#

gotcha, ok i think i know what to do, I didn't catch that. this is my first game and i think i may have overreached a little for my skillset lol.

#

its definitely helping me learn alot but still feels a little overwhelming.

I never faced this problem in previous unity project and its weird

timid hinge
#

@thick dew can you help me?

wintry quarry
#

I will say this is a really weird way to do this though.

thick dew
#

yea i was just trying to make it work across all scenes

wintry quarry
#

A more robust approach would be to use an event or a static property on some kind of PauseManager

#

e.g. if (PauseManager.GameIsPaused)

#

I definitely wouldn't use Update.

#

regardless though none of that is related to your problem

#

I would guess some other code is disabling the thing later, or perhaps you are referencing the wrong object entirely

wintry quarry
thick dew
#

yea it is

#

the code also correctly references the pauseCanvas

wintry quarry
#

then presumably something else is disabling it again after

#

or you're incorrect about one of your assumptions/assertions here

thick dew
#

oh why did i never thought of that

#

if the game is paused, it is before popping up pauseCanvas

Rigidbody should be moved inside FixedUpdate

ebon robin
#

so the frame rendering is an issue?

rich adder
#

thats prob why its slower

#

well apparently this one is faster

#

you said

ebon robin
#

why is it faster tho

#

delta time in chase > wander?

rich adder
#

probably a framerate issue

#

and the number that gets multiplied by time.deltaTime

#

iirc its smaller

#

so it takes longer to get to moveSpeed

ebon robin
#

i will just check the c movementDirection*Time.fixedDeltaTime*movementSpeed

#

with debug log

rich adder
#

if you debug.log both you def will get diff numbers

#

also should move both inside FixedUpdate

#

so they are both fixedDeltaTime

timid hinge
#

ok

ebon robin
#

ye fixedUpdate is more stable but the frame rate is kinda fixed

rich adder
#

physics needs consistency to work properly

timid hinge
#

i do i zoom it with the camera

ebon robin
#

I can call it game feature

The type or namespace name 'Netcode' does not exist in the namespace 'Unity' (are you missing an assembly reference?)CS0234

guys someone said me this
"2 is also scaled. Almost always keep it at 1
You want to zoom in with the camera, not scale it up"
what can i do?

Yes. You need to reference each assembly you plan to use. Why are you even using asmdefs if you are not familiar with what assemblies are?

queen adder
#

one of them will do the trick

#

don't know which one

kindred swallow
#

all of theme will do the trick😁

ebon robin
#

what the hell

slender nymph

kindred swallow
rich adder
ebon robin
#

the movement vector per frame

#

i guess the frame rate is around 100

#

making the speed diff so much

kindred swallow
ebon robin
#

should I go with double cuz the number is too smoll

rich adder
ebon robin
#

no remove the rgb2d

oki

#

so you put both on FixedUpdate now?

nah i put myself to sleep now. Its 3 am and i am gonna call it a game feature

Hi, Im trying to create a sprite from a Texture2D object that I load in with this function:

public void LoadTexture(string textureLocation)
{
    Texture = Resources.Load<Texture2D>(textureLocation);
    if(Texture == null)
    {
        Texture = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("Sprites/missingsprite");
        Debug.Log("Couldnt find Texture2D at location: " + textureLocation);
    }
    
    Texture.filterMode = FilterMode.Point;
    FrameCount = Texture.width / SpriteWidth;
}

Ive Already managed to make the texture less blurry, but now it looks like this:

image.png
#

How do I fix the colors?

#

Ive managed to fix it in the editor itself by changing the compression to none, but how do I do so programatically?

#

I guess for now I could also disable the 'Compress Textures on Import' setting in preferences, but ultimately Id like to be able to do it through a script as a safeguard

wintry quarry
#

set all of the settings in the editor

#

and use Resources.Load<Sprite>?

How do I know wheter to akss in here or the -general version of here ?

slender nymph
#

Just ask in here

bleak pasture
#

Despite several searchs and asking bots I can't figure out how to make an editor that will save to an external file that should be modifiable by the user and that isn't not a type of asset. I don't want that assets compiled as part of my project, just want to be able to serialize/deserialize it from the editor. I already know how to do that at runtime - but all the samples I find aren't "using UnityEditor" so I know they are not correct for editor-specific code. I can see there is a file manager available in the editor but unity musts also understand that the file isn't a random file it's the serialized version of a class in it

#

But I could also be completely wrong here and I should just accept that the "unity way" is textasset/scriptable object in the editor which get compiled as base recipes and user-modifiable recipes should only be loaded at runtime

Unity offers some utilities to help, like JSONUtility, to help convert some things to JSON format more easily.

#

but you're really using the standard C# File class

valid pulsar
#

in the unity input system i have an input action and have it set to generate a c# class is there a way i can get a reference to the actions in the input actions through the inspector. Cause rn i have a script that i can attach to a button thats supposed to remap a key when its clicked to the next button the user clicks but i cant find a good way to reference the action it needs to remap for.

bleak pasture
buoyant knot
#

also if you see something called playerprefs, ignore it

#

it's a shitty unity solution for saving files

#

C#'s normal File system is the better and proper way to do it

bleak pasture
#

I was hesitating between a textasset with a json in it, an external file, and a scriptableobject. I know that a scrioptable object would track references to other instances of the same type so that is a big advantage I let go but Id rather be able to edit the gamedata outside of unity

buoyant knot
#

let me see if I can patch you something handy

bleak pasture
#

where as with a json I'll have to keep numerical ids to tracks the links between items.

buoyant knot
#

this is a class that Velvary made to use the JSON utility better

#

it will help you serializing some things that are a little harder to serialize into a JSON

#

I make simple serializable classes with the bare minimum info that I absolutely need to reconstruct everything

bleak pasture
#

thanks! Im comfortable with system.io normally in a windows app but everytime I use standard classes like this something goe s wrong in unity (last time was a wss server). SO I dunno I always feel confused and lost in unity with the serialization and wheter a standard lib like system.io will works the same or at all. I appreciate you giving me these ressources to look at. My bigegst problem is always "how to do things correctly in unity" 🙂

buoyant knot
#

unity doesn't stop it from working

#

Unity just has some additional tools to help serialize some things that are a little more obnoxious to serialize

#

but anything you could do before, you can also do in Unity

#

i hope that makes sense

#

for my case, I have scriptable objects with unique string IDs. I save a simple class with a string for the SO. SO has a field for its unique string. And when I load, I use a dictionary (string => SO) to do the reverse

Whenever you unload a scene all GameObjects are destroyed in it. To save a GameObject from this you can:

#

they have nothing to do with scenes

#

to pass them around between scripts you can use them as parameters in functions, or just access a Vector field/property from a reference

spare sparrow
#

Ok so i have a script that is supposed to spawn trees/flora randomly on a tilemap. It spawns them from higher y coordinates to low y coordinates to avoid tree sprites spawning on top of each other.

i have a gameObject[] of multiple tree sprites of which a random one is selected and spawned.

for some reason when i drag the same prefab into every slot in this list the spawning works fine.
But every time i try to select from a random of 3 prefabs they spawn on top of each other/ ones with lower y coordinates are sometimes spawned first.

All the prefabs are rendered in the same way and have the same pivot points. Why could this be the case?

Here my code: https://paste.ofcode.org/PzcWpnDhRVavaVZkpmU8Gq

hidden sun
bleak pasture
#

you could also use a manager of some sort that you keep between scenes. The key is dontdestroyonload and getting a gameobject by name

But last I used uniity was unity 5 so I dont know really more than this

@spare sparrow you could add a sorting group component to the trees, and trees that are fine could be sorted above and other trees could be sorted to lower maybe? Haven't tried

#

got it working butt

#

i uhh

but not bean

#

:(

queen adder
#

@spare sparrow yeah the render queue

#

you could even have them sort based on distance and other factors if you wanted

spare sparrow
timber tide
#

I feel like the y sorting should already hide the tree

spare sparrow
#

Couldnt I also just do that without the sorting group?

queen adder
#

yeah

spare sparrow
#

Is there anything a sorting group would improve with this approach?

timber tide
#

check if the pivots are correct on each tree

spare sparrow
#

they are the same on either sprite

timber tide
#

and are sorted from the pivot and not center

spare sparrow
#

i think that might be the issue

timber tide
#

on the spriterender itself

leaden wagon
#

yeah cuz c++ is so much easier than c#...

queen adder
spare sparrow
polar acorn
timber tide
#

and they are sorted by the same group?

spare sparrow
#

wait but that shouldnt change anything since im not using a sorting group yet

spare sparrow
timber tide
#

sorting groups are for overriding sorting usually, but if all are not grouped then by default (group 0, layer 0) it's the depth of the pivot that sorts, or in the case of 2D isometric it's the higher up of the pivot on the y

what exactly did i just do to fix it? what is this setting?

timber tide
#

The sorting axis?

spare sparrow
#

is it just "render stuff with lower y in front"?

queen adder
#

nice!

spare sparrow
#

im just confused why it works

timber tide
#

by default is the depth that you sort by

spare sparrow
#

and since i have no depth that doesnt work?

timber tide
#

technically you do have depth since it is a 3D engine, but otherwise by default 2D you can treat z depth as another sorting group

summer stump
spare sparrow
timber tide
#

but since want more control over sorting in isometric you compare pivots from bottom to top to sort

For my external recipes.json I have a very early storage class [System.Serializable] public class Recipe { /* edited for brevity */ public Sprite DisplaySprite; } //class because later we will add properties so struct isnt appropriate here . Im not sure it's a good idea to store a referency to a unity type like sprite like a scriptableobject would do. WOuld it be better to store the path to a a unity asset instead of that when I load it from an editorwindow or from the game I can find the sprite for it by path instead ?

#

so very interested in the discussion

polar acorn
weary moss
#

but like, a variable in the place of the object, that can choose between two gameobjects

polar acorn
weary moss
#

what variable can do that

polar acorn
weary moss
#

and then i do something like:

gameobject = objectone;
Instantiate(gameobject, new Vector3(transform.position.x, -2, transform.position.z), transform.rotation);

?

polar acorn
#

If you already have a variable objectone use that

weary moss
#

i have two variables for different objects

polar acorn
weary moss
#

i don't want to do that because the two variables were just and example, i have a bunch of them and im managing instantiating them by coroutines, i don't want to do a coroutine for each one for the sake of efficiency, so i want a way to have only one coroutine wich has an instantiate command that can be altered

polar acorn
weary moss
#

In the code, for each if/else it will toggle this variable

polar acorn
weary moss
#

yes

polar acorn
#

That wasn't a question that was the answer

#

You have conditions you want to check to decide which one to use

#

so check them

weary moss
#

i'm using coroutines mainly because of the yield return new waitforseconds() function, because there is a series of delays in the spawning process, by doing it directly in the if/else, the coroutine will be useless

#

at least i believe

polar acorn
weary moss
#

i will try doing a boolean brb

polar acorn
#

Whats this about a boolean

#

Pass in the object

weary moss
#

is pass a coding term or are you telling me to put the object variables onto the coroutine?

polar acorn
#

I am saying make your coroutine take in the object as a parameter

#

and pass that object to the coroutine when you start it

i got it now

you can grab the normal from your raycast hit, multiply it by the hoverheight and that will be the direction and distance from the ground your object should be at

But when I spawn a player with the keyboard, and another with the Controller, both players are being controlled by both inputs.

Here's my script in case it's needed

each of those spawned objects may have a different instance of your PlayerControls class, but they both use the same exact input bindings because you aren't doing anything at all to differentiate them

#

perhaps you want to check the docs pinned in #🖱️┃input-system for some information on how to set up local multiplayer input

I see, thank you for your assistance

slender nymph
#

are you using TextMeshPro or the legacy Text?

#

also this is a code channel

violet creek
#

Textmesh pro, also sorry for posting here I didn't know which one to use :3

you can also use id:browse to find a relevant channel

Oh thank you 🙂

#

can someone tell me pls what does the color pink mean and why is there an if but green?

gaunt ice
#

They are two different things

#

So two different colors

#

Btw you can change the color by some plugin in vs

clear seal
slender nymph
#

remove the Unity.VisualScripting using directive

#

there is a type called If in that namespace but you don't need anything from it

clear seal
#

so i delete using Unity.VisualScripting; ?

slender nymph
#

yes, that's what remove the Unity.VisualScripting using directive means

clear seal
#

ok

#

um it corrected it to this

slender nymph
#

then it sounds like your code is not inside of a method

clear seal
#

it also consider the ifas a function

slender nymph
#

huh?

clear seal
slender nymph
#

stop writing code outside of methods

clear seal
slender nymph
#

yes that is not inside of any method

#

the only method in that class ends on line 18

clear seal
#

so basiclly i cant use a condition outside of a method?

slender nymph
#

correct. how would that even work?

gaunt ice
#

Cs is not python

slender nymph
#

you cannot write any code outside of a method that isn't a member declaration (variable, property, method, type)

clear seal
#

😭

slender nymph
#

if you are not familiar with writing c# code, then start with the beginner courses pinned in this channel

clear seal
#

ok

#

but i am in part of a group project

#

usin c#

slender nymph
#

even more reason to learn the basics if you do not understand them

clear seal
#

i do

#

but half lol

slender nymph
#

the basic syntax of the language is literally the absolute beginning of what you need to learn

Is there some way to get multiple outputs from a function?

With my old unrealscript knowledge, I know that you could do something like this when building a function:

function bool FunctionName(int requiredInt, out int desiredOutput)

this function would return a bool, but would also provide "desiredOutput" to the function caller if they had that second parameter
caller:

myBool = FunctionName(funnyInt, someIntIWant);

Is there something similar in c#?

gaunt ice
#

out or ref or pointer

slender nymph
waxen adder
#

Ah, ok

#

I'll probably use out. I've seen tuples tossed around here and there when modding games and haven't really figured out what they are

static cedar
slender nymph
#

they can be convenient, though i generally prefer just creating a small struct if i want to actually return multiple points of data

is there a way to get every scriptable object created of a scriptable object class

#

Look into AssetDatabase methods

nimble scaffold
#

I want to do animation on key press.. can anyone tell me how? (Like w key for run animation)

timber tide
#

you can just play clips directly

#

you need an animation controller

frosty hound
#

Use a Boolean parameter in your animator and flag it true when your key is pressed

However, if you're in 3D, you should be using a blend tree that is driven by something like speed.

nimble scaffold
#

Umm.. for it do I need to write a script?

frosty hound
#

Always

nimble scaffold
#

Where to attach

frosty hound
#

Doesn't matter, as long as you create a reference to your animator.

nimble scaffold
#

May I send the script here

#

Actually I wrote the script long ago

timber tide
#

Should just try this series

nimble scaffold
#

I'm in 3d bro

timber tide
#

shows the blend tree too

#

Ah, well the logic still applies but probably a 3D animator tutorial around

nimble scaffold
# 
using UnityEngine;

public class AnimationController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Animator animator;

    void Start()
    {
        
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
        {
           
            animator.SetBool("IsRunning", true);
        }

       
        if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W))
        {
            animator.SetBool("IsRunning", false);
        }
    }
}
#

I tried but not worked

frosty hound
#

In what way?

nimble scaffold
#

But no log errors also

ivory bobcat
#

What happens and what doesn't?

nimble scaffold
#

Nothing happens

#

The charecter remains in rest

ivory bobcat
#

Does the bool get set to true and false?

nimble scaffold
#

Yeah

#

To true

#

@ivory bobcat can u guide me step by step to do animation on key press

frosty hound
#

Did you actually set the parameter on the transition to your running animation state?

nimble scaffold
#

Yeah

dawn rampart
#

it says I dont have a reference but i do?

frosty hound
#

You don't, if it's saying that.

#

Make sure you don't have multiple scripts for example.

dawn rampart
#

no erros

image_2023-12-08_220716319.png
#

but it sats there is one there

frosty hound
#

NRE won't show as an error in your code

dawn rampart
#

it says its missing player stats manager

image_2023-12-08_220808972.png
ivory bobcat
timber tide
#

ah, may need to update the prefab. Actually, if it's already on the scene and you're using that one exactly it wouldnt matter now that I think about it

dawn rampart
ivory bobcat
dawn rampart
#

mb

ivory bobcat
#

Something on line 56 is null

dawn rampart
#

yeah the error says its the player stat manager

ivory bobcat
#

The error shouldn't say what but definitely something on that line

#

Likely that would be it though

dawn rampart
#

it sazs it doesnt have it but it does

image_2023-12-08_221114768.png
ivory bobcat
#

Try logging the variable

ivory bobcat
timber tide
#

oh, it's networking too. Just do yourself a favor and update the prefab

dawn rampart
timber tide
#

probably spawning a player manager with the last prefab instance

dawn rampart
#

the screenshot is the prefab

timber tide
#

the green + means it's not part of the prefab yet until you update it

#

what you have on the current gameobject is unique to it

dawn rampart
#

how do i update it?

timber tide
#

in the inspector panel at the top. I believe it's called override

dawn rampart
timber tide
#

May need to make another prefab and reference the model there

dawn rampart
#

this is the player

#

plus i shouldnt have to do that

timber tide
#

If you spawn another instance of player here, you're not getting those same scripts

slender nymph
#

nah, it looks like they are editing the prefab. it's just that the prefab includes a model prefab too and these objects are attached to that. but you cannot apply these overrides to a model prefab even though (annoyingly) the icon is there

dawn rampart
#

this is when it is spanwed

image_2023-12-08_221902366.png
#

so thez are on when it is spawnede

slender nymph
#

there are 4 separate objects that could be null on line 56, you should either log them or use breakpoints to find out whihc are null

#

actually there are 3 not 4 because one of those objects is not null on a previous line

ivory bobcat
slender nymph
#

why not just Debug.Break instead of isPaused

ivory bobcat
dawn rampart
ivory bobcat
dawn rampart
#

the player

#

yeah

ivory bobcat
#

Was it highlighted yellow?

dawn rampart
#

yeah

ivory bobcat
#

The field should be empty if exposed in the inspector

dawn rampart
#

i fixed something

image_2023-12-08_222431040.png
#

only one error

dawn rampart
ivory bobcat
#

Try cs Debug.Log($"The Player Stats Manager: {playerStatsManager}", this);

#

Select the log after it shows

#

Something in the scene will become highlighted yellow

#

Check if the field is None

dawn rampart
#

it hilights the player

ivory bobcat
#

Check the inspector

#

Look at the playerStatsManager field

dawn rampart
ivory bobcat
#

The field isn't exposed

#

The reference is null

slender nymph
#

where are you actually assigning to your playerStatsManager variable?

dawn rampart
#

i think thats why

ivory bobcat
#

You can't use it unless you've assigned it something

dawn rampart
slender nymph
#

whenever you see something is null, that should always be the first thing you check for

dawn rampart
#

I always forget to call a function in update or assign a variabl in onAwake so i should be used to that by now

#

Thanks

I'm confused, using netcode for gameobjects, calling a serverRpc function but it errors on the client machine and just says only the server can spawn network objects but i though a serverRpc is run on the server/host [ServerRpc] void spawnPlayerManagerServerRpc(ulong clientID) { GameObject playerManager = Instantiate((GameObject)Resources.Load("PhotonPrefabs/PlayerManager"), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity); playerManager.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().SpawnWithOwnership(clientID); }

Hey everyone! I'm new to Unity and studying how Unity works!

#

I was trying to make my character move and this is my code:
public class NewMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float Move;
public float Speed = 10f;
public float jump = 100f;
private Rigidbody2D rb;

void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    Move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    rb.velocity = new Vector2(Move * Speed, rb.velocity.y);
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
    {
        rb.AddForce(new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jump * 10));
    }
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
   

}

}

#

the problem is my character keep sliding if I try to move both direction

nimble scaffold
#

!code

#

Use charecter controller

wide crown
wide crown
nimble scaffold
#

Just try it

#

Go to inspector and click add component and serach for charecter controller

wide crown
nimble scaffold
#

@wide crown u can use charecter controller instead of basic rigidbody

#

It's much effective

#

And did it worked?

wide crown
#

I'm trying to figure out how to use it!

#

damn, it is way more ez

wide crown
nimble scaffold
#

Just attach that component and attach this script

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 5f;
    public float jumpForce = 10f;
    public float gravity = -9.81f;
    public Transform groundCheck;
    public float groundDistance = 0.4f;

    private CharacterController controller;
    private Vector3 velocity;
    private bool isGrounded;

    void Start()
    {
        controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(groundCheck.position, groundDistance, ~0); // Checking all layers

        if (isGrounded && velocity.y < 0)
        {
            velocity.y = -2f; // Reset gravity when grounded to prevent accumulating downward force
        }

        float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 move = transform.right * horizontal + transform.forward * vertical;

        controller.Move(move * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded)
        {
            velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpForce * -2f * gravity);
        }

        velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;
        controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}
#

Now I have given comments also

wide crown
#

there're a lot of of things to catch up tho

nimble scaffold
#

Yeah

verbal dome
#

Or just fix your rigidbody controller

nimble scaffold
#

And did it worked??

#

@wide crown

verbal dome
#

@nimble scaffold They are using Rigidbody2D so you cant swap CharacterController for it..

wide crown
#

yes it did!

nimble scaffold
#

I knew it

#

Thanks

wide crown
#

no, Thanks!

nimble scaffold
#

For sparing your time with me

wide crown
#

I did try to use the new input system but it was complicated

nimble scaffold
#

Bye @wide crown

wide crown
verbal dome
#

How does CharacterController work in your 2D game?

#

Are all your colliders 3D?

#

why this medthod crash my game?

nimble scaffold
#

So finally tell did charecter controller worked?

wide crown
verbal dome
teal viper
woven crater
#

freeze

nimble scaffold
wide crown
teal viper
verbal dome
woven crater
#

its because of lerp?

wide crown
#

so I have to figure out how to fix my code then

nimble scaffold
#

But it did work right?

teal viper
wide crown
woven crater
#

i set my rate to 0.01

teal viper
# woven crater i set my rate to 0.01

Well, then do the math. Theoretically, your transform scale would never get to the target.
Also, I don't see a point in a loop like that at all. It would be the same as just setting the scale to the target value.

woven crater
#

i want to make it shrinking over time

verbal dome
wide crown

teal viper
woven crater
#

oh right i see now

verbal dome
#

Looks like you are just using "Horizontal" axis directly so there is not much that you could do wrong
