[summer stump]

Yes you can

[slender nymph]

yes you can. but interfaces are not components so you cannot add it to a gameobject

[boreal tangle]

I am trying to add the PlayerMovement file but it keeps giving me can't add script

[slender nymph]

fix the rest of your compile errors

[boreal tangle]

Unity and vs are clear of errors

[slender nymph]

you have zero errors in the unity console? not even unrelated ones?

[slender nymph]

can you add it via the Add Component menu? if not, try restarting the editor

[boreal tangle]

ok

The script wont even pop up in add component

[slender nymph]

then restart the editor

[boreal tangle]

I did that too but it still wont let me

[slender nymph]

then there is some context you are not providing, such as whether this class is in some other assembly

[boreal tangle]

is it that I made some of the scipts in vs community instead of making it in unity?

[slender nymph]

no

[boreal tangle]

the assembly's are the same

[summer stump]

That's how I do it almost 99% of the time

[boreal tangle]

I think il just start a new project and rewrite everything

[summer stump]

I guess, but there is a much less nuclear option here somewhere
Also, that makes me feel like you aren't using vwrsion control?

Can you show a screenshot of the error when you try to drag it in

[summer stump]

Sorry, I meant the whole thing. Uncropped

[boreal tangle]

oh

[slender nymph]

are you sure you've restarted unity?

[boreal tangle]

i exited out and reoponed the project in the hub

[summer stump]

Hmmm. Try commenting out everything in the script, saving, compiling in unity, uncommenting, and compiling again

[boreal tangle]

ok

it worked somehow!

Thank you

[summer stump]

Just curious, but have you turned off domain reloading?

[boreal tangle]

I dont know what it is

or how to turn it off

[summer stump]

Then you probably haven't haha. Turning it off could cause this issue

[slender nymph]

an editor restart would have reloaded the domain though

[boreal tangle]

I think it was off

[sharp mica]

I'm trying to assign a CanvasGroup to turn on and off a panel. The CanvasGroup works, but not sure where I went wrong in the code to get it to work. I'm following a Tutorial on an older version of Unity so I think that might be why, but not sure where it's wrong

[summer stump]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. No idea otherwise though

[summer stump]

That is the default setting

[slender nymph]

be more specific about what exactly is not working

[sharp mica]

When I play the game I click the box and it turns the panel off because the default is off, but once I get to the point that I can afford the next panel it doesn't turn on or show available. So it doesn't update the interactable/alpha values.

[slender nymph]

where are you calling this method and what debugging have you done to ensure your conditions are evaluating to what you expect?

[sharp mica]

also it doesn't mark the StoreUnlocked as True. This is the only place I am using the CanvasGroup. I don't have it anywhere else in my code. I don't have any debugging for this as I'm still pretty new so I'm just working my way through a tutorial and reading and looking up as I go. I tried googling this, but didn't see much that could give me direction

How long is everyone's project list? When you want to experiment with a new mechanic do you prefer to make a new game or do you prefer to test it within another game?

[tender stag]

usually when i plan on something bigger i make a new project

do whatver i gotta do there

and then move it into my main project after it works

[dense root]

Gotcha

[rare basin]

that is weird approach

[tender stag]

works for me

[rare basin]

just make new branch on git, and experiment there

[eternal needle]

Unless your projects are big, which may cause long reloading times, you can very easily just test something in the same project. You're probably just eating up storage space by doing this

[azure zenith]

I have a vehicle in my scene that randomly moves in all sorts of directions when the game starts

It is like some invisible ghost is moving it

The position keeps changing

[ruby ember]

does someone know how to make visible and invisible text button

like it says visible but when i click it it says invisible

[halcyon mauve]

I am trying to get a 3d cube to change colors when an option is selected on a dropdown box. This is the code for the scripts I have

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Dropdown : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Material[] colors;
    public GameObject cube;

    public void DropDownOptions(int val)
    {
            cube.GetComponent<Renderer>().material = colors[val];
    }
}

What am I missing?

[calm coral]

Write a script that when button is clicked it replaces button's text?

[ruby ember]

sorry buddy but i kinda don't know how to code

that's why im here

[normal slate]

void Update()
{
    Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
    mousePos.z = transform.position.z;
    Vector2 direction = mousePos - transform.position;
    float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    angle -= 90f;
    rb.rotation = angle;//Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle);

    float hInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    float vInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

    if (Mathf.Abs(hInput) > 0 || Mathf.Abs(vInput) > 0)
    {
        Vector2 direction2 = new Vector2(hInput, vInput).normalized;
        Vector2 movement = direction2 * speed;
        rb.velocity = movement;
        rb.angularVelocity = 0f;
    }
    else
    {
        rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
        rb.angularVelocity = 0f;
    }
}

is there anything that i did not optamize properly here?

I know fixed update is good for velocity but i also have it mixed with the rb.rotation so its not smooth without update.

i am lagging like crazy because of this and its updating so slowly someone help XD

its still colliding but its like its delayed collision and its updating the position in a clipping mannor if that makes sense?

[queen adder]

update: fixed my problem. now i have a new problem.

so im gonna fix that

[ivory bobcat]

I don't understand the video. Can you explain what it is we're looking at? Seems to be teleporting if the rectangle object is supposed to be solid

[normal slate]

so yeah

the rectangle is a tile map

has a tile map collider 2d

the player has a 2d cylinder2d collider

and for some reason my whole game is lagging like crazy to the point where its clipping through

i have no clue as to why its doing this. I was gone for 2 days and it started happening ;p

[ivory bobcat]

Is the game lagging or the character simply teleporting?

i am so sad i gotta get a new pc this thing is about to die

[golden finch]

hello, so I'm new to coding I just started yesterday and I followed brackeys fps controller system and all worked okay, sometime later I got this error saying that UnassignedReferenceException: The variable groundCheck of PlayerMoveScript has not been assigned. even though I did assign ground check (I think), so well here's the code, it all worked fine until I deleted something (outside of the code) and I started getting the error, it was just in the console because in game everything worked out well, here's the code (can't get more than this script cause Im on my phone rn out of my home) https://pastebin.com/ANakeWzg

I rewrote the part that was conflicting and still nothing

[ivory bobcat]

You need to assign ground check from the inspector or through code etc

[golden finch]

i did

[ivory bobcat]

Verify it

It's likely not assigned if the error said so

[golden finch]

cant rn since not on my home but I think I assigned it, maybe if I re do ground check it'll work

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to wait till you're available to check to figure it out

[golden finch]

alright

[golden finch]

in case it was successfully assigned and it still doesn't work, any idea on what could fix it?

[ivory bobcat]

It's definitely not assigned. There may be another object with the component in the scene, if anything.

[golden finch]

ok

[summer stump]

One thing you can do is search in the hierarchy. You would type t:PlayerMoveScript and only objects with that component would show. It may show more than one, which might be the issue as Dalphat said.
There IS a missing reference somewhere

[golden finch]

alr

[halcyon mauve]

is this the correct logic to check if a toggle has been turned off?

checkbox.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { CheckBox(checkbox); });

The main thing is to get a 3d cube to rotate 90 degrees while it is toggled on, but I am having difficulty in achieving that, I believe it is something to do with this part though im not 100 sure

[polar acorn]

That will call the CheckBox function whenever the Checkbox is changed, and it'll pass the new value as a parameter to that function

[halcyon mauve]

So that does work to check if the box has been toggled at any time?

[summer stump]

It is more like it will tell you when it is changed. Not checking if it has been

But in essence, yes.
The event it fired when it happens

[halcyon mauve]

This is the function it is calling

{
    isRotating = isCheckbox;
    transform.Rotate(0f, 90f, 0);
}

Does this even work to have the cube rotate 90 degrees each second?

[slender nymph]

fun fact, that's not passing the value of the checkbox to the CheckBox method. it's passing whether or not the checkbox object is null 😉

[halcyon mauve]

Oh

[slender nymph]

you don't need to create a delegate there. just AddListener(CheckBox) should (theoretically) be enough

[halcyon mauve]

thats not what I need. I am wanting it to rotate a cube on its y-axis continuously while the toggle is on

[slender nymph]

that's also not what is happening. you'd be better off just checking the checkbox's value inside of Update and calling transform.Rotate there

[halcyon mauve]

so checkbox.AddListener(CheckBox(checkbox));

i need to change the names of variables now that I am reading this

checkbox.Addlistener(CheckBox) ?

[slender nymph]

the method added as a listener is only going to be called once for each change of the value. so this isn't going to work the way you want anyway. just do this #💻┃code-beginner message

[halcyon mauve]

Am I supposed to be able to click on the code-begginer thing?

[slender nymph]

yes, it's a link to a specific message. the same message where i told you to just check the checkbox's value in Update

[halcyon mauve]

Oh sorry

[halcyon mauve]

That worked. Thanks!

How would I check the index value of a dropdown box?

[compact salmon]

Hey guys, so I am trying to do a ground check with a raycast, and my Debug is stating that my Player is constantly grounded

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 5f; // Adjust the speed as needed
    public float jumpForce = 10f; // Adjust the jump force as needed

    //private bool isGrounded;
    private bool canJump;
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private bool isGrounded;


    private void Start()
    {

        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        CheckGrounded();
        MovePlayer();

    }

    private void MovePlayer()
    {
        // Get movement input using the new Input System
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        // Move the player horizontally
        Vector2 movement = new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f);
        rb.position += movement;

        // Jumping
        if (isGrounded && canJump && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpForce);
            canJump = false;
        }
    }

    private void CheckGrounded()
    {

        //LayerMask layerMask = LayerMask.GetMask("Ground");
        // Implement a simple check for grounding
        isGrounded = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, 1.2f);
        Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector2.down * 1.2f, Color.red);

        if(isGrounded) {
        Debug.Log("Grounded");
        } else {
            Debug.Log("Not Grounded");
        }
        // Reset canJump when grounded
        if (isGrounded)
        {
            canJump = true;
        }
    }
}

[grim tulip]

Thanks 😁

[eternal needle]

Debug what your raycast is hitting to see why

[compact salmon]

I've figured it out I believe

My raycast is hitting the Player

because it originates in the center of the Players collider

is there a way I can have the raycast ignore the player collider? or would I have to somehow compare collider tags?

[eternal needle]

I dont do 2d so maybe others have better suggestions,
You can specify the layers to check in the raycast, maybe set a layer for the player then ignore it.
Or start the raycast down below the player then cast a short distance

[charred spoke]

Physic2D raycast has layermask Im pretty sure so just use that

[nimble blaze]

hello can someon help me im having these weird white lines in my art

they only apeear in the game view though

check these out

[abstract finch]

        {

        }```
Is there a way to have an out variable in the first line like out Attack currentAttack?

[timber tide]

which ever is declared in the forloop will fall out of scope when the loop ends

if for some reason you want to redefine the variable later on you can always just add your own scope like

void Method()
{

  {
    Attack currentAttack = new();
    for (int i = 0; i < _attacks.Count; i++)
    {
      currentAttack.Value = 500;
    }

    AttackUnit(currentAttack);
  }

  Attack currentAttack = new();
}```

Not really a common practice but you can do that, though better just to redeclare instead of reinstantiating when possible. Actually probably doesn't matter since the compiler is probably smart enough.

[gaunt ice]

impossible in c#

you have to do that instead

{
  int i;
}
{
  int i;
}

[abstract finch]

ah nvm then i was trying to find a way to have less lines

[ripe gale]

Does anybody know any good unity game course that isn't using premade scripts?

[eternal needle]

What do you mean, premade as in stuff like cinemachine or like the person doesnt have a script written before making the video?

[ripe gale]

I mean premade componets like rigidbody

[timber tide]

really it depends on the game you want to make

if you're reliant on speed, collision, and gravity then that's a lot more work

[eternal needle]

You arent gonna find what you're describing, 1 because it's a silly limitation and 2 because transform is a premade component so you immediately must use premade scripts.

[gaunt ice]

everything in the engine is premade

[ripe gale]

Yeah I know that it's normal silly but I wanna learn c# too

and thought a game tutorial in unity would be a good way

[gaunt ice]

so why cant you use "premade" components?

[timber tide]

it's very possible to make a 2D platformer without rigidbodies if you do want to implement all that logic

or go half way and use unity's character controller

[eternal needle]

Then learn c# independently with console apps. Trying to do both will only make it harder, adding an extra constraint on top to not use as many premade scripts as possible will make it even harder

[ripe gale]

What are console apps?

I'm completely new to this, I came from gamemaker where you do everything form scratch so I'm not really familiar with this field

[eternal needle]

A console application, totally unrelated to unity. Everything will run in command prompt or terminal

There are online guides on how to learn as well like on w3schools. Realistically any of the top websites you see on google will be fine as well

[timber tide]

usually a good idea. Make something not dependent through an update rendering loop like chess or checkers, or if you want to write one of those yourself that's possible too hahah

[ripe gale]

alright thanks for the help everyone!

[eternal needle]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php
this is the website i was referring to. i would say when you understand what a class is and how it can be used then you're probably fine to look into unity. This doesnt mean just use a class once, but actually make your own code and play around with it. You just really dont want to be guessing c# syntax while trying to learn unity, which is something that is done very often in this channel. Issues that should take 10 minutes end up taking the people literal hours.

[ripe gale]

I will try it out, thanks!

[crystal flax]

Need help trying to toggle highbeams and lowbeams for vehicle spot light

`public class ToggleHeadLights : MonoBehaviour
{
float range;

Light lt;

float delay = 0f;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    lt = GetComponent<Light>();
    range = lt.range;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F) && delay <= 0f) {
        lt.range = range * 2;
        delay = 0f;
        delay += Time.deltaTime;
    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F) && delay >= 3f) {
        lt.range = range / 2;
        delay = 3f;
        delay -= Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

}`

[low tide]

hello

[ivory bobcat]

Describe what in particular isn't working and what's working.

[crystal flax]

So basically if I run this code

I press F and the range of the spot light is multiplied by 2

[ivory bobcat]

I can read the code. What isn't working and what is though

[crystal flax]

Afterwards, if I try to do it again and nothing happens when it's supposed to divide it by 2

Basically back to how it was before

[ivory bobcat]

Try placing a log in the if statements

Likely delay plays a role in the unwanted behavior

[crystal flax]

I'm trying to have it so there's a delay between button inputs so that if you press "F", it doesn't try to switch the ranges back and forth in the same frame

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming it'll only ever be zero

Or rather, zero plus some small delta

[crystal flax]

Basically, I'm trying to get it to how a flashlight would normally work in any game, toggling on/off

[ivory bobcat]

So what would the above code do if delay was 1..

Guess

[crystal flax]

If it's delay by 1 second

[ivory bobcat]

if delay is zero or less
    do this
if delay is three or more
    do that```

So if the delay is between the two values, what would happen?

[static cedar]

Make a game from scratch?

[crystal flax]

Nothing right?

[ivory bobcat]

Aye

On initial start it's zero, so it'll do the first if statement when the button is pressed.

Thereafter, it'll not do anything anymore

Because delay would likely be a value greater than zero but less than three

[crystal flax]

Yeah

But I also don't think the deltaTime is doing anything

[ivory bobcat]

It doesn't do anything. It's simply how long it took between this frame and last frame

I'm assuming you're wanting to increment delay in update and not exclusively in the if statements

[crystal flax]

Yeah

[subtle folio]

hi so i'm developing a mobile game and there's a bug where if i press 2 buttons simultaneously they would trigger their onclick events at the same time. how do i do it so that it will only trigger either the first button's or the second button's onclick event?

i made a code that would make the other buttons not interactable when a button is pressed but it only works when the button is released, so you can press multiple buttons at the same time and the script wouldnt work

[eternal needle]

you'd probably have a way easier time using a bool or enum to keep track of what your current mode is, high or low beams. The delay you have doesnt need to increment/decrement, this is really just one timer that counts to 3 (or down from 3 to 0). Id also just store the high and low value instead of doing the math, lets you customize it more later in inspector anyways. Based on your bool or enum, swap the values when input is given

[ivory bobcat]

What's the constraint? Is it limited to occur only once per game, time or?

I would simply place an early if statement to exit the function if the requirements aren't met

if(!first)
    return;```

[subtle folio]

say i have 2 buttons, new game and load game, if i press the 2 at the same time then release them at the same time, the game bugs out and tries to create a new game then load a saved game simultaneously

[ivory bobcat]

Set flags/states to prohibit false positives such as selecting two buttons

[subtle folio]

any hints on how can i do that? pointers perhaps :>

[ivory bobcat]

if a button was pressed already
    return;//ignore this function
...
buttonPressed = true;```

Where you'd reset the state once per frame or after completing/returning control to the menu

[subtle folio]

i would have to move functions like these to a script no?

[ivory bobcat]

You'd want to consider calling a function that would do other stuff and the wanted function that you've set.

[subtle folio]

so just one function with a flag and all the other functions that i want?

[ivory bobcat]

It's probably better to have a manager and simply fire a request for the event to occur. Where the manager would determine if the event should happen or not.

You'd then subscribe a single function for each button with a particular value to represent what has occurred ie an enum for main menu, info, new game or whatnot.

[subtle folio]

ahh i see, thank you

[crystal flax]

Thanks y'all

I got it working

[proper flume]

So I have a top down shooter I'm trying to make, and I'm confused on the scripting for it. It's a essentially a top down with a camera similar to Enter the Gungeon, with a toggleable FPS for ADS ( kind of like PUBG or COD Mobile). Anyway, I have the controls for that working pretty good, but I'm trying to get my character model to rotate with the FPS camera. I tried adding the same script from the FPS camera to the player, but that didn't seem to work. Is there a better way to do this? https://gdl.space/usidopipit.cpp

Nvm, I'm gonna have to rewrite the whole thing. 😅

[gaunt ice]

did you saved your script?

[proper flume]

I did.

[topaz mortar]

is orientation set?

[gaunt ice]

the identifier name seems correct, by ctrl+f

[proper flume]

Orientation is supposed to be a public variable so I can assign it after the fact. With the break in the script though, it won't update to allow me that.

[languid spire]

check your spelling, simple spelling mistake

[topaz mortar]

add a Debug.Log(orientation) right before setting moveDirection

[queen adder]

anyone know the solution guys

[gaunt ice]

you dont need to import particle system

[proper flume]

Even if I added a Debug.Log, I can't test the game because I have compilation errors.

maybe try uninstalling & re-installing

[languid spire]

screenshot your whole vs window

[languid spire]

yep, not set up correctly

open the solution explorer window

[nimble blaze]

it only changes just in the end

[languid spire]

first thing, is the Unity workflow installed in VS?

[proper flume]

Are you talking about this?

[languid spire]

IN VS

[gaunt ice]

open the vs installer, check if the game dev with unity installed

[languid spire]

I guess you did not follow the steps in the link

[proper flume]

No, sorry. It had an update before I could double check. But yeah, I did that.

[languid spire]

OK, so now the External Tools Window

[proper flume]

Actually, I think it's fixed now. I didn't realize that updating was part of the process and skipped over it when I installed since I thought it was already up to date. Updating it just now actually fixed it. Thanks for the help!

[queen adder]

Hey there quick update! I managed to "fix" this problem by adjusting the Obstacle Avoidance Settings. I turned the Quality from "High Quality" to "None" and it "works" now. But I don't know which further problems comes with that, so I'm "excited" so the what comes next...

[queen adder]

I just wanted a floodfill alg, accidentally made a pathfinder

it was even faster than my old pathfinder which I spent like a whole day to improve

[rustic cave]

So I want the camera to follow the player. I have set up an empty GameObject which it's the target of the camera (let's call it camTarget). The problem is that I can't understand where to place the camTarget in order to make the main camera move as the player does. Here is the code:

using UnityEngine;

public class Camera_Follow : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] public Transform target;

    float pLerp = .02f;
    float rLerp = .01f;

    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, target.position, pLerp);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, target.rotation, rLerp);
    }

}```

[short hazel]

Both Lerp are wrong, the third argument (float value) should gradually go towards 1 over time

[rustic cave]

Here is the scene view. The cylinder is the actual player, and the capsule is the camera target.

[short hazel]

Here you're setting the position and rotation to 2% and 1% of the way between the two values, respectively
If I were you I'd just use Cinemachine which has all that behavior ready and much more configurable

[proper flume]

I have a toggle between 3rd and 1st person as a sort of ADS feature, but with my movement options it changes the rotation of my player in the 1st person mode ( intended) and I need to reset the players rotation when they go back in to 3rd person. What would I add to my script for that? I tried transform.Rotation a couple different ways but it kept returning errors. https://gdl.space/ucogacofad.cpp

[rustic cave]

Mhm I think it's time to implement Cinemachine yeah. It would save thousands of hours 😅

[proper flume]

Nvm, figured it out.

[ivory breach]

Why does my coded camera boundary cause my ship to slide up/forward when my camera is tilted?

The sliding doesn't happen if I disable the tilting

[rare basin]

how can we know without any context and code

[ivory breach]

So first of all, my virtual camera uses the following scripts to make it follow the player with some dampening, with boundaries to stop it from following after the camera hits it. The boundaries are in a fixed position from the starting point of the camera

The rotate script tilts the camera itself, but not the boundary

[short hazel]

!code is required to see where the issue could be

If you get any clues or solutions out of these, do please let me know. I've been scratching my head with this problem alone for ages

[bold nova]

How does one call two coroutines sequentially?

I have these lines of code, only first coroutine is being called

var enemy = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Enemy>();
            enemy.StartCoroutine(enemy.StumbleAnimation());
            enemy.StopCoroutine(enemy.CatchUpToThePlayer());

[languid spire]

that last line says Stop not Start

[bold nova]

Yeah, it still doesnt work proper;y, everything is executed in one frame

[languid spire]

indeed, to start the second after the first is finished, put the start it the end of the first

[gaunt ice]

you can yield return other coroutines

IEnumerator A(){
  yield return B();
}

[bold nova]

  public IEnumerator StumbleAnimation()
    {
        float speed = 0.001f;
        float time = 0;
        enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay",true);

        // enemy stumbles and flies in the air
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

        // lies on the ground
        while(time < 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, outPoint.position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
            yield return null;
        }
        StartCoroutine(CatchUpToThePlayer());

    }

    public IEnumerator CatchUpToThePlayer()
    {
        float speed = 0.001f;
        enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay", false);

        // enemy cathced up to the player
        float time = 0;
        while (time < 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(outPoint.position, startRunPoint.position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
            yield return null;
        }
    }

[languid spire]

yes

[bold nova]

so, from the second coroutine i should iterate through the first one?

[languid spire]

no

[bold nova]

second one isnt called

after 5 sec nothing happens and enemy is freezed

[languid spire]

Debug them

[bold nova]

initially it was all one coroutine, but that second lerp part wasnt executed, so i though that might help, it didnt

[gaunt ice]

so you have debug it and the while loop doesnt run?

and i think you doesnt reset the time so that it is still one before enter the while loop

[languid spire]

no

time is a local variable to both

my guess, errors in console

[gaunt ice]

he says they are one coroutine at beginning, maybe i misunderstood

[languid spire]

were

no reason for that not to run unless errors are being thrown

[rustic cave]

How do I rotate the camera ingame? I am using Cinemachine

[bold nova]

yeah it was all one, i reset the timer before second lerp but that lerp was never executed. Now I've debugged it, and the code never even reaches that second startCoroutine line.

[rustic cave]

Ah yes, I understand. The answer is google

[bold nova]

program exits before reaching that line

[ivory bobcat]

Game terminates or coroutine ends?

[bold nova]

public IEnumerator StumbleAnimation()
    {
        Debug.Log("First coroutine");
        float speed = 0.001f;
        float time = 0;
        enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay",true);

        // enemy stumbles and flies in the air
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

        // lies on the ground
        while(time < 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, outPoint.position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
            yield return null;
        }

        enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay", false);

        // enemy cathced up to the player
         time = 0;
        while (time < 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(outPoint.position, startRunPoint.position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
            yield return null;
        }
    }

[bold nova]

coroutine ends

above you see the initial variant

[ivory bobcat]

Where did you place your logs?

Seems like both will properly execute

[bold nova]

i thought that too, but even now i try that initall variant out and it doesnt work. Enemy is stuck on the stumble animation

so, i guess the line where i set bool to false is never reached

[ivory bobcat]

Why guess? Place a log after and see if it prints

Also, if time scale is zero, it'll never complete the first loop

[bold nova]

because in animator enemy is in stumble animation and IsOutOfPlay is true

[ivory bobcat]

That doesn't mean that the function did not finish

It simply means that you did not get what you were expecting

You need to place a few logs or use the debugger to see what's actually occurring

[ivory breach]

If anyone else else is free, pls take a look at my issue and tell me what's wrong

[ivory bobcat]

If you don't provide information, people will continue to ignore the post. #854851968446365696 for how to post questions.

[bold nova]

well, i've placed .log before setting IsOutOfPlay to false, as expected, nothing shows up

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe the loop never completes?

[ivory breach]

But I have provided the code below it

What more do you need?

[bold nova]

ok, i went through the code, after going through the loop couple of times i get this sccreen

[bold nova]

its from LateUpdate(), so... my guess loop does end

[valid pulsar]

I asked this question a few time but got busy with other things so i could not reply but I have a script i want to put on a button so when i press it the the next key pressed is set as the key for whatever action i set for it i.e. movement, dashing, ect. So i have an Input action reference i have on the button script that i can set the action i want to rebind to in and it properly updates the way i want it to (when i press the button then press a key it changes the action to the new key). Then I need to update the input action which holds the data for all the controls in the MenuManager so the code in the attached image is supposed to do that but as you can see in the logs it never changes the controls button.

[bold nova]

Im back to two coroutine, now at least the both play out but way too fast, how do i make sure second will play only after the first one done executing?

   public IEnumerator StumbleAnimation()
   {
       Debug.Log("First part");
       float speed = 0.001f;
       float time = 0;
       enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay",true);

       // enemy stumbles and flies in the air
       yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

       // lies on the ground
       while(time < 1)
       {
           transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, outPoint.position, time);
           time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
           yield return null;
       }
   }

   public IEnumerator CatchUpToThePlayer()
   {
       Debug.Log("Second coroutine");
       float speed = 0.001f;
       enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay", false);

       // enemy cathced up to the player
       float time = 0;
       while (time < 1)
       {
           transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(outPoint.position, startRunPoint.position, time);
           time += Time.deltaTime * speed;
           yield return null;
       }
   }

[sharp copper]

Does anyone know how to create a camera shake when walking in 2d using cinemachine?

[vernal bone]

afaik there is a thing called cinemachine impulse

[keen dew]

Call it at the end of the first coroutine. But that's exactly the same as having one coroutine. Speed 0.001 means that the first coroutine takes almost 17 minutes to finish, I'm guessing that's what's causing it to look like it's not working

[vernal bone]

Is there a proper way to check if 2D character is grounded?
And if counting colliders is best implementation, can someone tell how to ignore cinemachine confiner?

[ivory bobcat]

Likely it's related to your ship movement and not just camera positioning.

[bold nova]

i specifically made speed that little because enemy was just flying all around

[keen dew]

Ok, but it's still 17 minutes

The enemy flying around is a separate issue, solve it separately

[ivory breach]

The ship movement is independent from the camera's orientation, using transform.localPosition in the LocalMove function

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not certain what you were trying to illustrate but the left screen shows that the camera bounds was working properly.

[ivory breach]

The bounds DO work as intended. It is possible that the issue lies within the camera's clamping

[ivory bobcat]

What's the unwanted behavior? Did you intentionally elevate the ship or was that something due to the camera?

[ivory breach]

I want the ship's position to stay the same when it is hitting against the clamped position

But due to a strange interaction with the camera's bounds and the world to viewport clamp, my ship is sliding up/forward

[ivory bobcat]

Show your ship moment script please

If your ship is moving in an abnormal behavior, you'll need to provide that.

[ivory breach]

The ship's movement lies in this code, specifically in the LocalMove function

[ivory bobcat]

So to narrow this problem down, try commenting out the clamp position function

Does the ship still move abnormally?

If not, then it's solely due to these linescs void ClampPosition() { Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint(transform.position); if (pos.x < 0.15f || pos.x > 0.85f || pos.y < 0.15f || pos.y > 0.85f) { pos.x = Mathf.Clamp(pos.x, 0.15f, 0.85f); pos.y = Mathf.Clamp(pos.y, 0.15f, 0.85f); transform.position = Camera.main.ViewportToWorldPoint(pos); } }

Where view port to world point is modifying the position of the ship.

[ivory breach]

Without clamping, the ship can simply go offscreen, which I don't want either

[ivory bobcat]

But it does not behave in an unexpected way?

Does it continue to slide up? (assuming you did not explicitly slide up in the original clip)

[ivory breach]

No

[ivory bobcat]

So, likely the repositioning of the player using view port causes an increase in y position and the camera to follow the player in y position.

[ivory breach]

z position too if the ship is hitting the top and bottom clamp

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah. Figure out why the conversion is producing those unwanted values.

[ebon robin]

why is my calculated distance dash is always double the actual distance dashed
https://gdl.space/royizixide.cs

I NEED ACTUAL HELP

why is Coroutine always buggy

[prisma blaze]

how do i make an object eventually move to x axis =0?

     if(column == Column.Right && transform.position.x<3.5f)
     {
         Vector3 horizontalMove = transform.right  * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime * horizontalMultiplier;
         rb.MovePosition(rb.position + forwardMove + horizontalMove);
     }
     else if (column == Column.Left && transform.position.x > -3.5f)
     {
         Vector3 horizontalMove = -transform.right * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime * horizontalMultiplier;
         rb.MovePosition(rb.position + forwardMove + horizontalMove);
     }
     else if (column == Column.Middle && transform.position.x != 0f)
     {
        // Vector3 horizontalMove = -transform.right * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime * horizontalMultiplier;
         rb.MovePosition(rb.position + forwardMove + horizontalMove);
     }```

the above code keeps moving the object from 3 different lanes where -3.5 is left, 3.5 is right and 0 is middle

but i don't know how to do the middle one

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show people the logs as well

Specifically the position logs

[ebon robin]

how do I paste the logs here

[ivory breach]

I wonder... what if I only set the clamp values at Start or Awake?

[ivory bobcat]

Snap an image of the console logs from unity editor

[ebon robin]

https://gdl.space/qisapoyixi.cs Here is the updated code for clearer logs

[ivory breach]

Nope, it doesn't work

[ivory bobcat]

if right
    if less than zero
        go to zero
    else if less then 3.5
        go to 3.5
if left 
    if greater than zero
        go to zero
    else if greater than -3.5
        go to -3.5```

[glossy eagle]

Hi. Does anyone know how can I set special characters to a text mesh pro UGUI component please? because nothing seems to appear, or it just shows up as a square😅

[short hazel]

You need a font that supports these special characters. Boxes are displayed as placeholders for glyphs (font character symbols) that are "not supported"

[glossy eagle]

The thing is that I searched for a font that in theory supports those characters

[short hazel]

It's an import issue then, you need to tell the TMP Font Asset Importer to generate glyphs for these special characters

I think it does that by default, so check the import settings

[gentle moat]

does anyone know how to get a 2d top down movement/attacking similar to cult of the lamb? I want to have animations in 4-8 directions for walking and attacking, but I also want to only face the mouse when I attack

[glossy eagle]

yeah it isn't creating those special characters. I don't know where that option is 😦

[short hazel]

It's when you import the font and create a Font Asset from it, it opens a window with import settings

[ebon robin]

great now my slime doesn't even dash anymore

[prisma blaze]

I tried this code c# else if (column == Column.Middle && transform.position.x !=middle) { Vector3 horizontalMove=Vector3.zero; if (transform.position.x > middle) { horizontalMove = -transform.right * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime; } else if (transform.position.x < middle) { horizontalMove = transform.right * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime; } rb.MovePosition(rb.position + forwardMove + horizontalMove); }
I noticed that the object keeps trying to reach 0 but it never does, it's switching between different values (0.2,0.3...) i noticed this with the left and right logic too but it's not noticable since the check has >= and not strictly =. is there a way to solve this so it is guaranteed to reach the exact value, or do i have to use something like checking if it's in a value range?

[glossy eagle]

in theory this font should support these, and I imported with those settings, I don't know which setting is wrong sorry

[short hazel]

The "Character Set" option

[glossy eagle]

what should it be on?

[short hazel]

It's in Extended ASCII mode which is still a small character set compared to Unicode or even UTF8 which can have thousends of glyphs

[glossy eagle]

and what do I enter in the select font asset😅

[short hazel]

None, as the message above says

[gentle moat]

someone pretty please

[frosty hound]

I'm sure a lot of people can.

[short hazel]

It's only if you need to retrieve the ranges from another Font Asset, useful if you add the same characters from another font

[ivory bobcat]

Math f min and max.

[glossy eagle]

so then it should just be click GenerateFontAtlas and it should already accept those special characters...?

[short hazel]

Yes, it will scan the whole font file

[rich adder]

yes its verry common.
What have you tried?

doubt anyone is gonna lay out a step by step online

[glossy eagle]

didn't detect anything😅

[prisma blaze]

can you please give an example

[gentle moat]

i just can’t find any tutorials for it

all the ones i find make the player always look at the cursor

[prisma blaze]

currently i'm trying to snap the player if the position is between 0.5 and -0.5

[rich adder]

probably because you're looking for something too specific instead of just combine stuff together to get end result u want

[short hazel]

You need to specify ranges in that big text box. From the website where you got the font, these should be written somewhere

[gentle moat]

alright

[ivory bobcat]

You'd want zero to be the max when greater than middle to not be lower than zero and min when less than zero to not be greater than zero.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Max.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Min.html @prisma blaze

[rich adder]

the find the regular 8 sprite/movement first, then you can look for the mouse attacks vids and combine the two, rinse and repeat.

[glossy eagle]

it is from google fonts (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Zen+Kaku+Gothic+New?preview.text=MWP2 指事字 á jet € %3F _ º ° ASDUV привет&sort=popularity&query=kaku&noto.query=kaku to be exact)
I don't really know what I'm looking for, like what are "ranges" in this case?

[gentle moat]

i’ve got 4 directional sprites right now, but is there a way to also make it so the attack goes right to the mouse, and does the closest attack anumation?

[ivory bobcat]

float value = Mathf.Max(..., 0f);//Value cannot be lower than zero```

[mild mortar]

I've attempted to do what was said here. (Not sure if it's right?)

But here's what it looks like and my script.

But my character doesn't seem to get parented when I touch it?

[rich adder]

ofc there are plenty of ways to do something.

[prisma blaze]

i still don't get the idea. if transform.position.x==0.3, how do i use Max/Min to make it 0?

[rich adder]

never comepare floats with ==

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Approximately.html or < or >

just ==

[rustic cave]

The Movement I got is "static". For example if I look backwards, and press W, It will go in the opposite direction instead of moving where the camera looks at. This is the current code.

using UnityEngine;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController controller;

    public float movementSpeed = 50f;
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float inputX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float inputY = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        Vector3 direction = new Vector3(inputX, 0f, inputY).normalized;

        if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
        {
            controller.Move((direction * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime)*2);
        }
    }
}

[short hazel]

Each character has an index (its position) in the character set. They're not available from the website so you can first attempt to just import the Latin characters that would be in the range 0000-007f, and if it works you can extend to the full Unicode range 0000-ffff. Note that this will probably take a moment to generate, and will probably yield a huge font asset file

[ivory bobcat]

My assumption is that the value oscillates between greater than and less than zero but not ever zero when approaching zero due to the values never being zero.

[rich adder]

why would it go where the camera is at?

[glossy eagle]

ohhh okay. Thank you so much 😄

[prisma blaze]

yes that's what happens

[rich adder]

nowhere does it say so @rustic cave

[rustic cave]

If you look backwards and press W it goes in the opposite direction

[rich adder]

look direction is irrelevant in the code you sent. its only based on your inputs

if you wanna move where you look you need transform.forward

[rustic cave]

It's a movement related issue

[glossy eagle]

and how do I know I've included all characters?😅

[rich adder]

maybe you don't understand what your own code does?

[short hazel]

By testing the font in Unity

[rich adder]

code doesn't magically do things you don't program it to do @rustic cave

[rustic cave]

No. I mean you misunderstood what I was trying to say, and please don't @, use reply instead

[rich adder]

ok maybe explain it better then ? all you said was it doesn't move where its looking, and I said there is nowhere in the code to tell it t do that

[glossy eagle]

like tight now I have this text, and it shows that, and I've tried those settings. Does that mean I still have to increase the number or that I've gone too far and so it broke?

[summer stump]

People do @ when they forgot to do reply. You can't do a retroactive reply after.
What difference does it make anyway?

[rich adder]

[rustic cave]

I'll send you a video

What kind of alphabet is that, Hiragana?
From Google Fonts there's a tab called "Glyphs" where it regroups them under categories.

[glossy eagle]

chinese

[summer stump]

It does sound like nav is spot on with the issue and solution. Only other thing I would add is that you need to rotate the object, which you don't seem to do at all right now

[twilit quiver]

i've spent hours just fiddling around with the transitions trying to fix it

[bold nova]

    public IEnumerator StumbleAnimation()

        // pull enemy out of screen
        while(timeElapsed > 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startRunPoint.position, outPoint.position,
                timeElapsed);
            timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }
        Debug.Log("Pulled back");

        enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay", false);
        Debug.Log("Bool set false");

        timeElapsed = 0;
        // get enemy back on sceen
        while (timeElapsed > 1)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(outPoint.position, startRunPoint.position,
                timeElapsed);
            timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }
        Debug.Log("Enemy is back on screen");
    }

[short hazel]

Alright, some of the characters I see in your screenshot are definitely Japanese, so you can try with the Japanese Unicode range first to see if they're included:

3040-309F

[bold nova]

how do i make coroutines not play out at the same time?

all debug are displayed so, everything works, exept it all happens in one frame

[summer stump]

Have a bool condition. Set it false inside the coroutine when it starts, set it true when it ends

[glossy eagle]

with that range, nothing appears😅

[summer stump]

@bold nova

if (!isRunning) StartCoroutine(myRoutine);

IEnumerator myRoutine()
{
  isRunning = true;
  //do stuff
  isRunnimg = false;
}

hi everyone i was just wondering if yall could help me i was follwing a tutorial and i was trying to get the pause menu to work i have the start menu to work but whenever i press escape nothing happens only my mouse appears ?

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

public class PauseMenu : MonoBehaviour {

public static bool GameIsPaused = false;

public GameObject pauseMenuUI;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    {
        if (GameIsPaused)
        {
            Resume();
        } else
        {
            Pause();
        }
    }
}

public void Resume ()
{
    pauseMenuUI.SetActive(false);
    Time.timeScale = 1f;
    GameIsPaused = false;
}

void Pause()
{
    pauseMenuUI.SetActive(true);
    Time.timeScale = 0f;
    GameIsPaused = true;
}

public void LoadMenu()
{
    Time.timeScale = 1f;
    SceneManager.LoadScene("Menu");
}

public void QuitGame()
{
    Debug.Log("Quiting...");
    Application.Quit();
}

}

[summer stump]

Looks like you need to use transform.forward of the camera

Or rotate the object along with the camera

[short hazel]

Can you try directly in C#? Like .text = "\u3041", so we can see if it's what you copy-pasted, or if it's the font

[bold nova]

inside update method?

[summer stump]

What inside Update method?

[rustic cave]

Why the camera and not the movement?

[summer stump]

Because that is the issue
The camera rotates, and that rotation is never used

[bold nova]

well, the coroutine is supposed to be called when players and enemy colliders collider and player isRolling == true. I dont understant how condition can help

[glossy eagle]

it was the copy pasted :/

[bold nova]

its all one coroutine

just need to play it sequentionally

[summer stump]

Show code at this point

But simply, a condition will stop more coroutines from starting

It will make it so only one runs at a time

    enemyAnim.SetBool("IsOutOfPlay", true);

    Debug.Log("Bool set");
    // pull enemy out of screen

    }

        timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
        yield return null;
    }
    Debug.Log("Enemy is back on screen");
}

playerControllerScript

    private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy") && isRolling)
        {
            var enemy = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Enemy>();
            enemy.StartCoroutine(enemy.StumbleAnimation());

        }
    }

[short hazel]

Okay for completeness' sake, can you copy one that is like this (if you can find one) from your TMP input box, or from wherever you took them, and try to get its index in the charset?

Debug.Log(((int)'YOUR CHARACTER HERE').ToString("X4"));

[summer stump]

I would not call the coroutine directly on the enemy

I would call a public method that in turn starts the coroutine.

That public method checks the bool to see if it's already running

If it IS running, don't start the coroutine

[dapper knot]

https://paste.ofcode.org/jqQD2pGjLutYU7zcnxUuTL

[glossy eagle]

like the one you told me or one of the ones I copied from the google fonts?

[short hazel]

One that's Hiragana and didn't display at all

So yeah probably from the website

[glossy eagle]

like this for example?

[short hazel]

Yeah looks good to me

[glossy eagle]

got a warning in visual studio but anyway

[gentle moat]

sorry for pinging u later, but how would i combine them? I only want the player to face the mouse when attacking

[severe drum]

there is a way to check if a navmesh agente is conencted to a navmesh?

[short hazel]

Okay so that's the index of that character in the charset. Not sure how to deal with this because it's not in the range that was generated for this font

4EBA is from "CJK Unified Ideographs" and is range 4E00-9FFF which is a huge range

[languid spire]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMesh.SamplePosition.html

[short hazel]

The Unicode PDF explaining it is 533 pages, gives you an idea on how much characters are in this lol

[glossy eagle]

oh wow

well maybe it isn't worth translating it to chinese

[bold nova]

unfortunatelly no difference, mate. I get debug.log messages, but no actuall animation

[glossy eagle]

sorry for my ignorance, but do korean and japanese use the same as chinese characters?

[severe drum]

thx, im tryign to make a drag and drop of units from a lits to a scene, i want teh drag event loop to try to snap the unit into the navmesh, if its on a navmesh when the drag stop it puts on hte unit field

not sure if this is the best way to do this

[short hazel]

Not at all, but they might fall within the same Unicode range. You'll have to see from the Unicode website, the home page groups the glyphs by regions

[glossy eagle]

so like for example in order to add "á", what region do I have to add? And to add a region, do I have to add it like this with comas?

[short hazel]

The à will be your regular Latin character range. As for the separator good question, try it and see

[summer stump]

I was only helping run only one coroutine at a time (making it sequential). Nothing to do with anymation. If you did what I said, it will make it sequential.

If it's not working as you want after that, then it is a different issue

[glossy eagle]

this range I'm guessing then? (got it from the site you sent)

[short hazel]

That's the basic, you'll have to have at least the Supplement to get the accented characters. Each PDF has a table with the characters

[glossy eagle]

okay so, this range has the 'á', but when I enter that range, nothing appears😅 . I'm going to check if that's just the font now

it def has it

How to make list like this? I mean I forgot how it is called.

Slider is a thing that slide and how is it called?

Not a list because list looks diffrent

[slender nymph]

a field of an enum with the Flags attribute

also that is called a dropdown

[bleak vale]

Dropdown yes

Thank you mate

[gentle moat]

is it possible to make something happen becasue of an animation

like can I turn on a collider2D when an animation happens

if so how

[wintry quarry]

Use an animation event

[gentle moat]

how would i do that

[wintry quarry]

Google Unity animation events

[gentle moat]

alright

also

what do the lines of code that start with // and have a message do

[bleak vale]

you can give your methods whatever name you would like

[gentle moat]

how do i do that tho?

[slender nymph]

[rare basin]

i'd suggest you take some very basics programming and unity tutorials

you cannot get help with this knowledge

[gentle moat]

i started unity like 3 days ago 😭

[rare basin]

because you just dont understand the help

[bleak vale]

You put it in Update and then u use if method

[rare basin]

You can turn on/off colliders in AnimationEvents

would be much easier with more control

[bleak vale]

I reccomend you to learn basic C# first. I reccomend you the YouTube CodeBro channel with 4 hours C# tutorial. Its one of the best free tutorials and from there u would be able to make simple games belive me

[gentle moat]

alr

[gentle moat]

ohhhh i was doing that before and made new animations and forgot to add them back 😭

ty

im so dumb

[slow dew]

How do I get the brackets to format on the same line with Shift + Alt + F? back den I was using omnisharp but how do I do that with the new system of the C# Dev Kit?
eg, I want it to format as such

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start() {
      if (true) {
      //etc
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update() {

    }
}

[rich adder]

probably in the c# dev kit settings?

might need to modify the settings.json

[queen adder]

Hey yall i need some help please.
Im trying to make a lives system in my game. Where the player has 5 lives, if they lose a life they need to wait say 20min to restore that life.

I got the code working for it.
But if i add my timer it will countdown the time from 120seconds (i made it 2min for testing) but it will count down super fast and the go into negative numbers when my debug shows i have only waited say 30sec.

Also my lives text doesnt want to display my current lives.
I have referenced both my texts.

I will add my code. Instead of using 5 seconds to test im using 2 minutes.

Any help would be appreciated please.

[golden finch]

i know this might be a dumb question but i forgor, how can i make ads (aim down sights) make less recoil? i have floatsabout recoil like recoilx, recoily and recoilz, so what i need to know is, how do i decrease one number of a float when i hold left click? and get it back to the normal when not holding left click

[short hazel]

You can multiply the value with something less than 1 to decrease the recoil

[golden finch]

alr and how do i get it back to normal?

[short hazel]

Don't multiply anymore

[golden finch]

alr

[short hazel]

The initial recoil value does not change, you just apply a multiplier to it. Or use two distinct recoil variables

[golden finch]

ok

so its something like, adsrecoil = 5 and recoil = 10
when holding right click recoil * adsrecoil

[short hazel]

You're mixing both systems right now

Either:

• Use two variables and don't multiply
• Use a multiplier

[golden finch]

alright

[abstract finch]

Is there paranthesis placement correct here?

direction * (_moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime)```

[slender nymph]

yes

[sharp abyss]

It adds modifiers to stats but modifiers dont change anything

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I want to create in my game movement before starting playing the game with my controls what I mean is I want to move my character horizontally to a certain direction and when it arrives in that direction then the game starts with me controlling that player. Can I make that somehow?

[tough lagoon]

Sure.

Disable your player controller
Move X over time
Enable your player controller

Or just emulate the input inside the player controller while ignoring inputs, which would be even better, as it would use the right animations etc automatically

[sage mirage]

@tough lagoon Can you explain it and break it down to help me understand what I am supposed to do?

[bleak pasture]

disable/enabling player controller easily found on google. Move X over time = change the transform in the update method using the gameobject.transform, time.deltatime, a speed per deltatime and direction

[sage mirage]

I know how to disable and enable player controller. I am just confused of that he said with move x over time what is that?

[bleak pasture]

so if the speed is 5 m/s and your deltatime is 0.1s it's moving 0.5 along the X axis per time unit

It might not look perfect at first but it's a start. I dont know how exactly to make it look perfect either but if the position update are quick enough it will look smooth regardless

[sage mirage]

So, in that way you said player will not interact for that time with the character and when character reach that destination I will be able controlling the player?

[bleak pasture]

you'd check if you are inside of pre-placed shape to know you reached the destination

make sure it's big enough for the character shape that is how Id do it personally (aka a trigger shape) since unity has many way to check if something is inside something. But my unity is very rusty I just came back from unity 5 - 2 days ago so hopefully someone can help with code specifics

You also want to wait just a little bit once the character is in the shape to return control otherwise it feels weird to the player because they have no hint of knowing / they might be confused if they can control it or not

with a slight delay like 1-3s it's clearer they can now move the character

[sharp abyss]

can someone take a look at my thread?

[acoustic arch]

not sure if this is a code problem, but my spotlight for my flashlight works fine when pointed at the ceiling or floor

but when at a wall

if the light ever touches it the whole wall becomes lit for a bit

[verbal dome]

Sounds like it is vertex lit, maybe hitting the limit for pixel lights

Not a code problem in any way

[fierce shuttle]

Might be a question for #archived-lighting maybe

https://hastebin.com/share/jiwisaruyo.csharp there

which value are you talking about, its hard to tell from the video

[golden finch]

hold up

recoilX and anything that has to be with the x axis

everything else is ok

ive been struggling with it for the past hour or something

[eternal needle]

well recoilX and removeRecoilx only changes when you change it in inspector, so i assume you're talking about ADSrecoilX

the only thing i see is that you assign it 10, but then the recoilX is -10. removeRecoilx is 5. So you can probably tell how -10 -5 becomes -15

[iron veldt]

I'm kinda confused I went to their page and it says everything is up to date and stuff how do I actually get little red underlines in my code so I know if something is wrong through visual studios?

[golden finch]

yeah but not sure if i explained the right way

for some reason, positive and negative make the gun go down, but positive shoudl make it go up

and im modifying that on recoilX

[eternal needle]

did you look at the bot links you were shown #💻┃code-beginner message
it was linked for a reason

[iron veldt]

yea I did, I just wasn't quite sure what it wanted me to do because all it seemed to want me to do was check for updates and stuff which I did

[golden finch]

i think this might be the line thats making problems public void RecoilFire()
{
targetRotation += new Vector3(recoilX * ADSrecoilX, UnityEngine.Random.Range(-recoilY * ADSrecoilY, recoilY * ADSrecoilY), UnityEngine.Random.Range(recoilZ * ADSrecoilZ, recoilZ * ADSrecoilZ));
}

[eternal needle]

use debug.log to print out what the targetRotation is. i assume you're getting some weird behaviour because you are multiplying recoilX * ADSrecoilX in RecoilFire()

[golden finch]

what do you mean with printing out what it is, like just putting debug.log("insert text")?

sorry for my ignorance, im practically new since i started coding 2 days ago

[eternal needle]

did you click the right link for what IDE you're using? looks like vscode, i clicked the vscode link, there is more than just updating

[eternal needle]

instead of a string, print out the actual vector so you can see what it is

that way you can understand what the values actually are rather than "should be up, should be down"

[golden finch]

ok

[eternal needle]

you can also use Debug.DrawRay or DrawLine to visualize your vectors

[iron veldt]

yea thanks my brain didn't make the connection that VS stands for visual studios sorry about that 💀

[golden finch]

ill try

something like ths?

[eternal needle]

I think you just dont need to multiply recoilX * ADSrecoilX here, because it doesnt really make sense. Both seem to be their own value for how they affect rotation, so you should probably be using one or the other. When both are negative, they make a positive value. When both are positive they make a positive value.

yea

[golden finch]

ooooooh alr

so ill just leavei t like that

ill send the debug log hold on

holy crap it fixed

thanks dude

you saved my mental sanity

ive been here on my pc the entire day trying to fix it 💀

[eternal needle]

you probably want it to choose a value based on if you are ADS'ing or not, but i dont know where that logic is being done

it doesnt seem like ADSRecoil is even used

[golden finch]

yea so the ADSrecoil was used to mark what recoil i had rn, first photo is without aiming, second is with aiming

but it was honestly useless

[eternal needle]

oh then you probably want to use ADSrecoilX instead of recoilX since thats your affected value

same goes for the rest of the equation

[golden finch]

now it works

[golden finch]

alr

[eternal needle]

test it with exaggerated values, like 45 as your removeRecoil

right now, when you ADS, it doesnt have anymore/less recoil

[golden finch]

yea ik

[iron veldt]

How can I make a parameter in a function optional?

I tried just using "optional" (using my knowledge with unrealscript), but that didn't work

[frosty hound]

You can give it a default value so that you skip supplying it as an argument when making the function call.

[eternal needle]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/named-and-optional-arguments#optional-arguments

[waxen adder]

Ah ok, so it just needs a default value

I wonder if optional in unrealscript just did that for me

Like just look at the type and then set it to the usual default if not supplied with a value

[eternal needle]

not sure about unreal myself, but in c# i assume the equivalent would just be

public void SomeMethod(int a = default) {}

it would be 0 in this case

[waxen adder]

^ yeah, that's what I'm thinking unrealscript did

with "optional" anyway

it'll only do it once

after you call the audio do readInput.currentWord == "";

I'm barely starting to make Enemy Behavior on 2D Unity. I see people using something called a Navmesh and am wondering if I should use it as a begginer. What should I do? Also will it allow me to make a enemy AI that will have pathfinding and dodge getting blocked by environment?

[timber tide]

It'll give you the very basis of creating some enemy AI, or player movement if you prefer controlling through pathing. Worthwhile to read up on it

[small mantle]

Okay, I'll do it. Thank you so much!

@timber tide Forgot to ask if there is a official Navmesh download. I don't want to accidently download a virus. If you know one that would be very helpful 🙂

I think it's included with built-in, but urp you need to get the package

well, the newer urp versions since they've updated it a bit as of recent

[small mantle]

It is. Thank you. I was going to download from git hub, but it is included with the URP Version.

Is Navmesh plus a different package? I see other people using it on 2D and not using the that is inside Unity Register

[tender stag]

how do i make it keep the same shape no matter what the rotation is?

[north kiln]

If rotating it confuses you, use Handles.matrix to rotate the overall thing

[tender stag]

whats that

[frosty hound]

It's a git repo you can download through the package manager

[gusty void]

i did i configure my IDE

[slender nymph]

not according to your screenshots

[chilly helm]

Anybody have advise for the best way to preventing the player from being able to jump through walls and climb through jump spamming? This seems to be a common issue online but none of the fixes seem to be working.. Any advise would be greatly appriciated!

[polar acorn]

So then why did you temporarily un-configure it solely for the purposes of taking a screenshot?

[small mantle]

I don't think it is, they have different components. Such as Navmesh Modifier Tilemap

[slender nymph]

it is https://github.com/h8man/NavMeshPlus

[frosty hound]

Yes, I'm aware. It's a third party git repo you can download through the package manager.

[small mantle]

Do you think I should download that version instead of the package one?

[frosty hound]

There is no built in package one

You can use the package manager to download git repos.

[gusty void]

I promise i didn't mean to, i thought it was still configured, im sorry

[small mantle]

Are you talking about the Navmesh Plus isn't a built in one or the Navmesh Package?

[north kiln]

If it was configured you would be getting full autocomplete, error highlighting, and it would say the assembly name instead of Miscellaneous Files in the top left

[slender nymph]

navmesh plus is to be used with the built in navmesh stuff

[small mantle]

If I am understanding: The Navmesh Package in Unity Register, is able to be used with Navmesh Plus which is availiable with Git Hub?

[frosty hound]

Navmesh Package is Unity's navmesh system. Navmesh Plus is a third party repo that extends the built in system with additional functionality.

So you need both

[small mantle]

That makes sense, thanks for clearing it up!

[tight patio]

Ah, I'm having significant difficulty with my decision tree; it keeps returning the same result and I don't know how to fix it.
I'm making a cardgame AI that's supposed to return up to three possible different results, but I keep getting one result over and over. Could someone please take a look at my code and tell me where I screwed up?

https://paste.mod.gg/wyypfbusgtih/0

[vapid cypress]

Quick question if anybody knows the answer.
I have a build file that has audio in it, I am following along with one of the tutorials and when I build and run the project the audio works but in the Scene and game views it doesn't, even when I press play and everything.
I have attached images showing that I am not muted and that it is not volume 0 as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Apparently the tutorial files didn't have an audio listener attached to the body of the model sooo

[teal viper]

What do you see during debugging? Is the selectedValue different every time? Add a debug where you return the candidate as well.

[tight patio]

Got it, main issue is that the debug is a little jank right now as the ToString gives me some... cryptic-sounding compile-level names instead of the actual conditions, so I'll try to get you some info to narrow it down

This is what I'm getting back, though if I'm honest, I don't know how to get the ToString to be more useful than this

As you say though, I'll run through and check if Randomly chosen value is the same every time

[teal viper]

You'll need to provide some names to your nodes, when you create them.

[small mantle]

Need a bit help understanding NavMesh SetDestination(). How can I adjust the speed it goes to the target? ```agent.SetDestination(target.position);

[tight patio]

Hmm, this time it returned 0... that seems a bit low, since if I'm getting 0s and 1s consistently, then that means totalweight isn't being added to

[teal viper]

You can modify the agent speed property.

[tight patio]

Hmm, it seems to be going into the revolt leaf each time, but the randomly chosen value is always 0 or 1, which is the values if totalweight is 0, meaning nothing's getting added to it right, even when it reaches a binary node pair that should be weighted

but what I'm confused about is how it's getting there to begin with because the only place that should consistently have a revolt leaf is if the hand value is exceptionally good, which isn't the case

[small mantle]

Simple and Explained well! Thank you!

[tight patio]

Is the best way of going about this adding a name variable (string) to the first of my three 'DecisionTreeNodes' class bits at the very top of the script? Sorry for the inexperience in this regard, like I said, this is a bit difficult for me.

[teal viper]

Check what is getting added to the candidates list. If anything. I feel like there might be an issue with your conditions.

[tight patio]

Right, I'm doublechecking as we speak.

[teal viper]

Probably an issue with variable captures. Value types are probably staying the same as when you create the delegates.

[tight patio]

(Sorry, this is taking longer than expected, I had to figure out what candidates were getting added by reworking the class a bit)

Ok, I think I figured it out actually, thank god

the gist of it was that the poorcheck seems bugged currently, and it always assumes the player is too poor to retreat, thus always returning the same result

it never even made it into the other nodes

[queen adder]

hi, is there a way to store different scripts in the same variable.
i want different type of scripts to be stores in each variant of the scriptable object.

like a generic variable that accepts different classes maybe?

[timber tide]

you can do generics but you'd have a concrete type for each SO

are you sure you just don't need inheritance?

[pulsar lodge]

Battle Manager - https://gdl.space/qusufiqula.cs
Spell Button - https://gdl.space/bogevowexo.cpp

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with these spell buttons i am instantiating, For some reason the on click event is not executing, I do have an event system in the scene. It looks like all the variables are populating correctly in the inspector but for some reason nothing happens when i try and click it. Not sure if it is somethhing wrong with the code or not. I copied the code for creating the buttons from another section of code when creating the enemy buttons and those work fine.

[queen adder]

no, i want different items to store different scripts,
for example a consumable item to hold a script called consume and a sword item to hold a script called attack

[timber tide]

some ideas:

BaseStorableClass implements: Name, Icon, SlotType

BaseStorableClass -> ItemClass
BaseStorableDataSO -> ItemDataSO

ItemClass implements Consume();

BaseStorableClass -> WeaponClass
BaseStorableDataSO -> WeaponDataSO

WeaponClass implements Attack();

[queen adder]

thanks, i'll give this a try

[dense root]

How do I set my text to the following?

if (placeholderWords.Count == 0)
{
    Debug.LogWarning("No more words in the list.");
    inputField.placeholder.GetComponent<Text>().text = "No more words in the list!";
    return null;
}

[polar acorn]

Set the value of the input field rather than the placeholders text

[dense root]

sorry wdym by set value of input field

I thought this is how you would set the placeholder text value, it works for my other methods

i.e.

public void SwapPlaceholderText(string newPlaceholderText)
{
    inputField.placeholder.GetComponent<Text>().text = newPlaceholderText;
}

[hasty spire]

what would be the best way to get my jumping and falling animation to play i tried with velocity but given my platform isnt flat it keeps triggering at the wrong time

[queen adder]

check if velocity.y is bigger than a certain threshold for jumping and do the opposite for falling

[hasty spire]

i tried that but the issue im having is since the platform is hill shaped

it keeps triggering

should i just raise the threshold?

[queen adder]

you can try to add an overlap circle beneath the player and if it's colliding don't play the animation

[queen adder]

if you raised it, it might look off

[hasty spire]

how would i do that?

[summer stump]

As Moe said, you definitely want a grounding check

[summer stump]

Raycast() or OverlapCircle()
Use a layermask to only check if it's on the ground layer
If they return values showing it hits the ground, then you are on the ground, and you should not use the jump OR fall animations

[pulsar lodge]

bump

[timber tide]

Did you log the events and see if they are being called

[queen adder]

create an empty, put it at player's feet
adjust the variables to suit your script

var hitCollider = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(empty.transform.position, Radius, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ground"));
if (hitCollider.Length == 0 && velocity.y > jumpingThreshold) // Play jumping animation
else if (hitCollider.Length == 0 && velocity.y < fallingThreshold) // Play falling animation

[pulsar lodge]

I did, the event method is not being called

the CastSpell() method

it is like the buttons are not even interactable, almost like an eventSystem isn't present, but it is. Does it matter that the buttons are instantiated after the event system already exists?

[hasty spire]

so wait where does the empty game object come in

[queen adder]

empty.transform.position

visualize it as if you're drawing a circle around it with a "Radius"

[timber tide]

Could be UI specific like the raycast isnt being detected. Button has interact unclicked so try that first.

[queen adder]

try checking if there's no other ui elements above it blocking the raycast

[hasty spire]

ah so this is creating a circle of radius 1 use a layer mask to check if it is grounded
then it checks if the hitcollider is equal to 0 and the velocity is above the threshold then the other does the same for falling, do i understanbd correctly

also, is the empty game object a child of the player?

[queen adder]

not a radius of 1, you edit the radius

var Radius = 0.2f; (adjust it to suit your game)

1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ground") --> is for checking if you're colliding with an object with "Ground" layer

[queen adder]

yes, so the circle always follow the player's feet

[hasty spire]

right let me try that

[hasty spire]

do i use a serialize field to get the game object in?

[queen adder]

doesn't matter, you can make it public or serialize it

[weary moss]

How do i set an object's rotation to 0?

I have an enemy that is able follow the Player. It does this when it is in the distance of the Player, but when it isn't it stops. However, I don't want a full stop when the player exceeds the Distance from the Enemy. I want the Enemy to keep following for a few moments just in case he can catch up in time, and if it does then it keeps moving. ```cs void DetectPlayer() {

   distanceFromTarget = Vector2.Distance(transform.position, target.position);

    if (distanceFromTarget <= distance) {
        FollowPlayer();
    }
    else {
        StopFollowingPlayer();
    }

} ```

these are all the extensions i have

[summer stump]

Oh sorry, the image expanded when I clicked on it. You do have the right extensions

[queen adder]

yeah

[summer stump]

Ok, and packages?

[queen adder]

i think from the sheer amount of em i think would be flagged as spam

let me see if i can find a way to show them to you

[summer stump]

JUST show the Visual Studio Editor one

[queen adder]

ok

[summer stump]

Ok, good. Right version.
But you should remove the Visual Studio Code Editor package

Now show the External Tools window

[queen adder]

i cant because it is installed as a dependency so the remove button is greyed out

also sorry for ping

[summer stump]

Ah. Remove the Engineering feature to remove it. But it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Close VS Code, click regenerate project files, and reopen it.

Also, you only really need the top two check boxes selected

[queen adder]

how do i remove engineering feature?

ah i figured it out myself

ive done what you said and i get the same exact thing

hello, I was wondering, what exactly is the difference between installing VS community edition manually and then using it with Unity versus just installing Unity Hub, and adding VS community edtiion as a module?

Are there any pros and cons in or the other?

[summer stump]

They were already linked to that

Edit: oh, did you do that for yourself? Sorry

[summer stump]

Do you have any sdk error?

[queen adder]

what do you mean by sdk error?

[summer stump]

A popup on the bottom right od vs code saying you are missing an SDK

[queen adder]

ah

yes

[summer stump]

Restart your computer

If it is still there when you reopen, you need to manually get the sdk and restart again
(A restart is required to automatically set the PATH. You can do it manually, but you need to know what you're doing to get it right)

It SHOULD have been installed with the c# dev kit extension though (but sometimes fails to)

[unreal imp]

Hello friends, I have a little problem and it is that when I shoot upwards and I am crouched the bullets go in the opposite direction from where they are pointing as if they were going towards the direction inside the player and I think that the code has something to do with it ``` private void Shoot()
{
audi.Play();

    Ray ray = fpsCam.ViewportPointToRay(new Vector3(0.5F, 0.5F, 0));
    RaycastHit hit;
    
    
    Vector3 targetPoint;
    if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
        targetPoint = hit.point;
    else
        targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(1000); 

    
    var bullet1 = Instantiate(bullet, muzzle.transform.position, transform.rotation);
    bullet1.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = (targetPoint - muzzle.transform.position).normalized * shootForce;
}```

[waxen adder]

For anyone who uses visual studio. When using find and replace, is there some way to allow any character when filling in find? Kinda hard to explain, so I'll just show what I want:

Original find/replace
Find: dog1 is silly
Replace: dog1 is goofy

What I want
Find: dog[any character] is silly
Replace: dog[same character] is goofy

[gentle moat]

https://gdl.space/qumeponapu.cpp anyone know how I could put .normalize into this so I dont go faster diagonal?

[queen adder]

it has fixed. thank you

[summer stump]

movement.normalized

[gentle moat]

but wherr

[summer stump]

Wherever you want. At the end of update or start of FixedUpdate (using Normalize()) or in the MovePosition on line 26 using the property

[timber tide]

How is rigidbody accepting a float here for rotation

[summer stump]

It really doesn't matter much where as long as it's after the getaxis and before the move call

Oh hey, look at that (what Mao said) haha. Missed that.
Is that not giving you an error?

[abstract finch]

Is there a way to have a float be tracked in another script? I have a float called timeElapsed but i would like to track it in a seperate coroutine via a parameter or track this value.

[teal viper]

Wrap it with a class.

Or just use the reference to the instance that contains the float.

[abstract finch]

would the latter require a local variable outside of the coroutine?

[teal viper]

A variable outside the coroutine wouldn't be local anymore - it would be a class member/field, but yes it would require that.

[abstract finch]

thanks

I just realized i was editing the weapon 😭😭😭

[cerulean bramble]

I'm having trouble finding any help on what to do if I want to read files from a folder in the game once built

does anyone know how to do that or anything I could reffer to for help?

[iron veldt]

Alright so I know I can't reference scene objects in the inspector for a prefab but how am I supposed to drag "Player Goal" and assign it to player goal in my script without getting this mismatch error?

And yes I configured my IDE as I was told to do earlier, and there aren't any errors popping up in my script

[queen adder]

Does anyone know how to save my game's details for the next time it's played?

I can't use player prefs for everything.

Is it possible to save things like transforms, positions of all enemies and things in Unity?

Does it require an asset?

What are some good assets for this task?

[timber tide]

Need to serialize your data usually by json then when you relaunch the game you deserialize it all

[queen adder]

Have you made the mistake of setting your Player Goal type to prefab?

Instead of GameObject?

Such as public GameObject goal?

Instead of public Prefab goal?

[queen adder]

How do I save it though?

[timber tide]

JsonUtility or https://www.newtonsoft.com/json

[queen adder]

Thank you!

[timber tide]

Basically, everything you want to save should have its own data container class

then you write all that data as json

[queen adder]

So it wouldn't derive from monobehaviour?

The class?

[timber tide]

It's just data that you'd repopulate the next time you start the game. You'll have to have a custom load manager as well to know what type you're populating this data into.

[queen adder]

Ah I'll have a look, thanks

Appreciate it

[timber tide]

Ideally you'd want to ID your SOs too so you can populate your save-specific data objects with those IDs. This also helps by identifying types upon deserializing your data, otherwise you can split types by directory or just type check.

Having a dictionary of your SOs to compare IDs will just allow quick lookup to reinstantiate and populate your objects

[queen adder]

Ohhhhh

Yeah thank you

[queen adder]

What do you mean then? What's the point of making playerGoal = GameObject.Find("Player Goal"); if you want to set it in the editor?

If you want to set it in the editor by dragging, first step is to delete that line.

[summer stump]

Find is VERY error prone

[queen adder]

They have no reason to use it either.

[summer stump]

At the LEAST use the type version. But if you can, never use Find

[iron veldt]

Ok...I deleted the code but it is still giving me that mismatch error, do I need to create a prefab of the Player goal?

[eternal needle]

Your ide isnt configured as the person above pointed out, you really should get that sorted first. Type mismatch usually means you had it serialized as a different type before so you need to update the reference

[safe hull]

If I wanted to create a script that is assigned to each individual object in a seed based generation map, which has its own type, hit points, drops, etc, should I use enums or class?

I don't completely understand how unity works, but I want to create an instance of the class for each object

does this mean adding the script component to each object?

does that accomplish what I'm trying to do?

[summer stump]

In what way would you use an enum? To know what values to add to the new class?
That could be fine if you have distinct types you'll use

[safe hull]

like rocks, trees, bush, etc?

[summer stump]

I'd need to see what you're trying, but yeah, do the IDE first

[summer stump]

Ok sure. Use enums for that if you want.
In the end you'll be using classes though
The enum would only be for knowing the type of class to add

[safe hull]

I want to make the code as efficient as possible

[summer stump]

The choice you're presenting wouldn't really affect performance one way or the other
But also, I wouldn't worry about performance at this point so much

[iron veldt]

I'm trying to get the enemy balls to go toward the player goal if that makes sense

like just targeting it and going in that direction

[summer stump]

Ok, so drag in the player goal.

Did you fix the ide?

[safe hull]

should I create the enum in a seperate class from the one I will add to each gameobject?

[iron veldt]

well it's saying I need to install the unity extension, but when I go to click install nothing happens so I'm kinda stuck right now

[summer stump]

An enum doesn't have to be in a class.

[safe hull]

I mean script

[summer stump]

Sure if you want. Really doesn't change anything. It's personal preference.
I do when it makes sense, and don't when it doesn't

[summer stump]

Are you using vs code then?

[safe hull]

alright thanks I think I'm starting to understand it better

[dreamy light]

Hello, I'm trying to make a movement system in the style of the collide and slide algorithm but the walls kill all velocity and the ramps make you much faster

This is the script:
https://hastebin.com/share/agoqurucad.csharp

one sec

meant that to be mp4

[safe hull]

bruhh does unity srsly have accessibility incompatibility

I can't make variable unaccessable except through method

    public ObjectType getObjectType()
    {
        return objectType;
    }```

I don't want the variable itself to be accessable directly, I only want it to be accessed through the get method

because I don't want the objectType to be changed

[summer stump]

Sounds like a perfect place for a property then

[safe hull]

okay then, what is that?

[summer stump]

public ObjectType objectType { get; private set; }

[safe hull]

[SerializeField] private static ObjectType objectType { get; private set; } = new ObjectType();

[summer stump]

Is ObjectType a class?

[safe hull]

yes

huh

[summer stump]

Ok then, sure

[summer stump]

Oh, it has to be public

[safe hull]

alright

[summer stump]

Wait, you said it was a class

That is an enum

[safe hull]

yes

sorry

its a script

as well

[summer stump]

So then you don't do new on it

[summer stump]

That is irrelevant. Get the idea of scripts mattering out of your head for now

[safe hull]

ok

[summer stump]

Classes, Structs, Enums, Types in general are what matter

[safe hull]

alright

a class is a method, right?

why am I being so dumb rn

[summer stump]

No. Not at all

At the top where you write public class ObjectData

[safe hull]

public class ObjectData : MonoBehaviour this is a class

[summer stump]

ObjectData js a class

Yes

[safe hull]

public ObjectType getObjectType() this is a method

[summer stump]

Yes

You don't really need getObjectType with the property though

[safe hull]

I'm still getting inconsistent accessibility

[safe hull]

could you explain further?

[summer stump]

public ObjectType objectType { get; private set; }

data.objectType

You can just get it directly

[safe hull]

and I can't edit it?

[summer stump]

It is publicly accessible
