that's not what static is for

muted wadi
#

what is static for?

slender nymph
#

it needs to be public to be accessible by other objects. static makes it not tied to an instance and is owned by the class instead

muted wadi
#

from what I understand its for variables that are read only

slender nymph
#

that is also incorrect

muted wadi
slender nymph
#

which means you need it to be public

#

that's what public is for

muted wadi
#

i see

#

from what I've been told you're meant to make things private as often as you can

#

just for the sake of good security or something

wintry quarry
#

not security, encapsulation

cosmic dagger
#

If that's the case, then why are you accessing it from the instance instead of the class?

when i move my mouse, the console reads the mouse's position and returns 0,0 all the time. Why?
a little background info:
I am working on a fps esque camera system and yes, ive tried turning off Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; and Cursor.visible = false;.

It does for OnEnable

#

Not onEnable

queen adder
#

ahh

#

thank you all

wintry quarry
#

Also that runs BEFORE Start

#

hence switching to Awake

queen adder
#

honestly its like a curse

#

most of my problems come from the most miniscule and easy to fix bugs

#

but i can never find the problem

slender nymph
#

make sure that your !IDE is configured to help you prevent simple spelling mistakes

eternal falconBOT
tiny hawk
#

Should I use something other than PlasticSCM? I like PlasticSCM because it doesn't upload my assets downloaded from the Unity store.

queen adder
#

sadly ive tried that

#

and its still broken!!

#

hooray!!

slender nymph
#

then fix it. it is a requirement to receive help here because nobody wants to play septic's Personal Spell Checker

queen adder
#

ive looked through almost every page on stack overflow that i could and nothing works for my vscode

#

ah

#

ok that

#

makes sense

#

sorry

slender nymph
queen adder
#

will consider

muted wadi
queen adder
#

i honestly

#

in my opinion

#

prefer arch linux + visual studio code

#

its SOOO much easier to set up libraries

#

this way

slender nymph
#

if it's easier then why is your ide unconfigured 😉

queen adder
#

bahh im a messy and lazy person

queen adder
#

thank you all

#

and THANK GOD this FPS look around works now

#

i'd like to thank my manager

slender nymph
#

oh i'd also like to recommend using cinemachine instead of coding your camera controls manually. it's typically a lot better

unity

queen adder
#

ah

#

it does seem like visual studio 2022 is my best bet for using unity

wintry quarry
#

Highly recommend Rider

queen adder
#

CONSIDERING that C# was made by microsoft

#

Damn you capitalism!!!

#

anywho, see you later

muted wadi
#

is there a way to find an object by name

rich adder
#

yes but don't

slender nymph
#

yes, you can use GameObject.Find, however there are better ways to reference other objects

muted wadi
#

why 😭

slender nymph
#

because it is slow

muted wadi
#

is it bad even if only one of the objects exists

wintry quarry

tender stag
#

how do i go about this, in this screen shot the enemy can see the player

image.png
#

but in this screenshot he should technically be able to see him

image.png
#

but he doesnt because the blue line goes to the belly of the player

#

and it isnt in the angles anymore

#

but the enemy can still clearly see the head

muted wadi
#

you basically just move around the child empty where you would want it to be on the player and that should fix it

tender stag
#

but the thing is that later on im gonna have a rig on my player

#

so each body part will have a collider

#

so i was thinking of using a raycast somehow

#

inside the vision area angles

muted wadi
#

use a spherecast

tender stag
#

because i need the enemy to even see a foot

muted wadi
#

or a boxcast

tender stag
#

also i wanna use && not ||

#

i know

wintry quarry
tender stag
#

i was thinking of that

muted wadi
#

that's what I did for enemies that would attack you within a certain melee range

boreal tangle
#

should I use rigidbody for collsion or am i supposed to code it myself from scratch?

summer stump
boreal tangle
#

I mean for player movement do I just rely on colliders or do I use raycast

#

to stop the player from going through walls

summer stump
#

Well it depends on how you're moving, which I see is why you brought up rigidbodies.
Using rigidbodies will handle collisions for you for the most part.
If you move with the transform, you're gonna have to query around yourself for collisions, grounding, and anything you want like that

boreal tangle
#

ok thank you

wintry quarry
bleak pasture
boreal tangle
#

Ok

summer stump

#

In unity5/2018 I used colliders as reference areas for trigger (like my cars had a collider around the door so the player could open ithe door when near the car) and for aggro ranges on mobs (mobs had a sphere collider preset to it's aggro ranges) and each mob/player carried several colliders as area reference

#

since I dont want to give the wrong advice I want to know since colliders were brought up if unity changed that since then

summer stump
#

Having sight/aggro ranges with colliders is very common still

#

You can also do spatial queries like OverlapSphere though

bleak pasture
#

I also used them for premade offsets like spells/particle graphics / gfx as well since an arrow would always be shot from a specific side (left/right/top/down) so I just preplaced the sprite and made it invisible. I prefered to do this rather than calculate an offset from the .transform every time

argh it's so difficult to go throught all the beginner training even though I havent done unity for a long time so I just relearn it since so much has probably changed 😦

"How did you feel when the Unity Editor first loaded? In this video, our established creators share how they felt when they opened the Editor for the first time. " - it's like my 100th time 😦 Do I listen to the video or mark as complete 😦

slender sinew

I just see what you are always decreasing it, so it just goes down far below 0 and never gets reset

hasty spire

where do you define how long that time should be ?

try thinking through what you are doing instead of just remaining confused, or if you have a specific thing you do not understand, ask a more specific question.. do you expect it to be working right now and you just don't know why?

i'll fix this myself

ebon robin

if FixedUpdate is fixed at 50 frames, how could I make them smoother

They're designed to be smooth. 50 of them per second, no matter your framerate

Hey I am using Unity new Input System, but if I name it public virtual void OnFire() to get different OnFire() in derived class, it wouldn't work

safe hull
#

Figured it out, the interacted object was the icosphere, which didn't have the ObjectData script on it. To fix I got the component from the parent of the icosphere

hey guys i want to do something like this effect where the yellow blob will instantly snap to the player if its within certain areas but when its blocked by a collider the blob will just stay within the confines while the cursor moves out, any tips on how to start?

If you both work on the same files at the same time you'll need to merge your work

fickle geyser
#

if somebody builds something

#

and the other guy like dosent build something

wintry quarry
#

"like objects" is very vague

#

Projects are made of files

#

Scene files, assets, script files etc

fickle geyser
#

so every push it will add on rather than "override" the repository??

wintry quarry
#

If you work on the same files you'll have to merge them, that's all

wintry quarry
#

All changes will be tracked and it will be up to you how to handle conflicts if any arise

fickle geyser
#

oh!!!!!

#

merging branches

#

duplicate files possible???!?!?!

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting an index outside bounds of array error on line 25?

wintry quarry
#

Are you getting some kind of error? Something else? Explain.

ebon robin
# wintry quarry What do you mean by "wouldn't work" and "State"?

I am using a StateMachine that controls Player action, however, OnFire() and OnMove() are functions from Unity new Input System and they can only be executed when I put it in a script inside Player (GameObject). However, I want to, for example call OnFire() from a State of the StateMachine. How to do so?

wintry quarry
#

Those are your custom functions

ebon robin
#

yes

#

how do OnFire() exactly is called

#

I dont seem to understand this kind of new Input System

#

here is an example of the code

wintry quarry
ebon robin
#

how to call those functions from let's say another class inside the PlayerController that I have attached to the player

#

i don't understand anything about this new Input System so explaining is kinda haard

fickle geyser
#

is using raycast or collisions better for checking if the player is on the ground?

ebon robin
#

I know a temporary solution which is to add this to the PlayerController

private void OnFire()
    {
        stateMachine.currentState.OnFire();
    }
#

any better way of doing this

#

yep that solves the problem for now

#

still don't know anything about the new Input System

#

how stupid am I

ebon robin
#

you dont wanna mess with OnCollisionEnter

eternal needle
fickle geyser
#

well i have an issue

#

for some reason scenes are not uploading to github only assets

#

is that normal do i have to do something to upload the scenes along wth the assedts?

#

coould it be gitignore??

wintry quarry
#

It should be very simple for you to check if the scene file is committed or not though. Just look at the changesets. But there's nothing special to do, no

#

What makes you think they aren't being committed?

We were talking about velocity

fickle geyser

i have a question

#

is there anyway to make something like a library

#

or a module

#

uhh basically a script that can be required that returns classes methods etc...

languid spire
#

There is asmdefs in Unity to group classes into libraries or you can make a dll project in VS which can be put into a plugins folder in Unity

fickle geyser

I cant see the velocity property in inspecter for rigidbodies

It's not usual for properties to be shown in the inspector anyway

You can always use Debug.Log or attach a debugger

It might not show up if you are viewing the inspector in debug mode

Try logging that if statement at the bottom, see what it does on scene change

Try putting DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject) in the else statement perhaps

#

Just see what sticks for now

verbal dome
fickle geyser
#

for some reason A and D just dosent work anymore

#

when using velocity

burnt vapor
#

Because you're replacing the first assignment of velocity

#

First you set the right axis, then you replace it with the forward axis

fickle geyser
#

?? what does that mean

burnt vapor
#

Not sure how more clear I can be

#

You're assigning the velocity, then replacinge velocity completely on the next line

fickle geyser
#

oh yea!!!

delicate notch
#

Im dumb

fickle geyser
#

btu then i cant walk diagonally anymore!!

#

gonna need a conditional for that i

#

think

burnt vapor
#

No, just combine them

burnt vapor
fickle geyser
#

combine unit vectors then multiply by magnitude??

delicate notch
#

I was displaying a different variable points cause i forgot to delete it

delicate notch
#

But i fixed both now so

verbal dome
#

Or just replace the bottom rb.velocity = with rb.velocity += so that it adds to the velocity instead of overriding it

i have a prefab in the prefab folder called Slime which is a prefab of Slime monster. However, I want to make another script called SlimeSpawner and make Slime a class and not refer to it as GameObject

oh right

#

it spawn the entire thing?

#

didn't know that

north kiln
#

Yup

#

Yo guys

#

To call a method from another script can you take a look at this because its not being called

# 
public void LoadLevel1()
{
    SceneManager.LoadScene("GameLevel1");
    if (ddolManager != null)
    {
        // Call the method from DDOLManager
        Debug.Log("Variables Reset!!!");
        ddolManager.ResetVariables();
    }
    FindObjectOfType<GameSession>().ResetGame();
}
#

Also whats this error?

image.png
ebon robin
#

the script seems normal can you screen shot the error

delicate notch
#

I dont get error

#

Idk what this one is though ^^

#

does not say where the error is

ebon robin
#

have you tried reimporting everything in the asset drop down

delicate notch
#

Wait i have an idea

eternal needle
delicate notch
#

Ok so the script Level 1 is being loaded but the other one is not

ebon robin
#

just reimport things. I guess it is something corrupted

delicate notch
#

Strange since its a DDOL

#

Could it be Null maybe?

#

somehow

eternal needle
delicate notch
#

I got another idea!!!!!

#

Il try putting the reset variables imediatly in the level 1 script

#

nvm im braindead that dont work

#

the pain

THe reset variables isnt running

Hi. I made a counter of how many objects the player collects that have a script: "Note". There is a problem that 1 such object can be added to the counter infinitely times (1 object gives more than once). I tried to think of a way to fix it, and all attempts failed. How can I fix this?

Then maybe you ought to register acquired items in some sort of collection, such as a hash set.

Hi

#

I want to write my own shader, I have an idea for it. But i'd like to start with a basic one which already implements texture mapping. Do you know where I could find that to start off with?

ivory bobcat
dusk minnow
#

Just a quick Qestion i have two objects one is null . Can i switch them so obj1 = something obj2=null;

#

by doing obj1=obj2 and obj2=obj1

#

ofc with extra var

languid spire
#

?

if (obj2 != null) { obj1 = obj2; obj2 = null; }
dusk minnow
#

GameObject tempItem = currentActiveItem; currentActiveItem = backedItem; backedItem = tempItem;

#

if one of them is null

#

will it work?

#

works xD

languid spire
#

define 'work'
it wont throw an exception but you still wont know which one is null

dusk minnow
#

shouldnt do that just change

languid spire
#

it will swap the objects over, yes. But to what effect?

dusk minnow
#

for a game

#

#

Is it better to move player through addforce or changing the velocity.

keen dew
#

If you don't have a particular reason to set the velocity directly then use addforce

boreal tangle
#

Would it make sense to use it for snappy movement or is that something you can do with addforce

keen dew
#

Either works

boreal tangle
#

Ok ty

fickle geyser
#

i saw a guide where someone is storing the orientation of the player (capsulate) in a empty game object. This here confuses me. Why not just grab the orientation directly from the player himself??

another thing is he made a cameraholder object for the player. Why not just directly make the camera follow the player?? These things confuse me

hello good morning do you guys know anyway of killing all animations to go straight to my dying animation when the character dies right now to activate in on any state but for the most part it works fine but the death animation kinda gets messed when in middle of a jump or just started walking

#

its like a bug

rare basin
#

animator.CrossFade() perhaps

autumn tusk
#

ok so im creating an aiming system for my game, and i need the firepoint to switch position when the gun sprite flips

#

only issue is that this runs every frame, when i want this to only run once per flip

#

how would i get the commented code to only run once per flip

image.png
verbal dome
#

If yes, run the code that changes the firepoint's position

#

Why my animation curve doesn't have fixed time 0 1?

You tell us? Drag the end point where you want it to be?

cause your speed is > 0 so
put debug.log inside VelocityLimiter too, see how many times thats called.

Hello everyone, I've just begun my first 2D game project, and I'm still a beginner. I wanted to ask: can anyone advise me on how to start creating movement for my 2D character?

summer stump
rich adder
#

topdown , sideview etc

#

4 direction , 8 direction, 2 direction

#

grid movement

worthy chasm
#

@rich adder whenever i remove statehandler, the thing is fixed

why is that

buoyant knot

rich adder
#

otherwise im not sure how anything x 0 would be anything but 0

buoyant knot
#

i would start by deciding if you want your object to be kinematic or dynamic. This is probably the biggest factor in how complicated it will be

worthy chasm
rich adder
#

unless its speed which would probably not be important if AddForce includes moveDirection (assuming its 0 with no inputs)
Debug.Log(moveDirection)

buoyant knot
#

dynamic rigidbodies are at the mercy of the physics engine. they automatically collide with walls etc, and are affected by gravity and forces etc. But programming extremely basic forced motions is difficult (eg making a dynamic RB move along a floor of changing slope), because you have to fight the physics system.

worthy chasm
# rich adder ok well it doesn't seem statehandler does anything but set states that aren't us...

after that it broke

those enums dont do anything right now though

#

also you should not be grabbing inputs inside FixedUpdate

verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

worthy chasm
#

yep

#

ill fix that

rich adder
#

Debug.Log(moveDirection)

worthy chasm

alr one sec

i still think it could be VelocityLimiter

worthy chasm
#

do you want me to debug.log velocity limiter too?

rich adder
worthy chasm
#

what the heck

#

i restarted unity and now it works 💀

rich adder
#

i think your inputs was stuck

#

or maybe you had a controller plugged in?

worthy chasm
#

yeah some software side stuck

worthy chasm
#

i do have

#

xbox controller

#

but rn its doing nothing

#

it doesnt have stick drift or anything

#

and its still plugged in

rich adder
#

cause only way it would b moving on its own if rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized moveDir was not 0

summer stump
#

I feel like the controller was definitely it

worthy chasm
#

well its fine now

image.png
rich adder
#

yeah i think it was prob giving a weird signal

worthy chasm
#

controller still connected and i did not touch it

#

only restarted unity

maybe controller go to idle or something

good thing its fixed

can someone hlep me i have problem with colliders player(capsule) fall down even tho theare is plane with colliders on i will send unity file in dm

Do both the player and plane have colliders that are NOT set to isTrigger?

public class GameStateController : MonoBehaviour

}

How could I rewrite this if all of those classes are based on public abstract class GameController<T> where T: Gamemode. I tried using covariant generics but my base class is not an interface, and it has to be a class

abstract flax
#

i will check

abstract flax
summer stump
#

IsTrigger does not collide

#

They must have that option disabled

abstract flax
#

huh still doesnt work

summer stump
#

After that, it may be a code issue

abstract flax
#

ok sending

#

so i have player and capsule capsule is child of player

vagrant harness
#

I've been trying to clamp rotations for like an hour- how do I properly do it? right now I'm manually clamping the x y and z values of the euler angles but it only works for positive values

summer stump
abstract flax
#

i will send both

#

here all screenshots

summer stump
# abstract flax

So that capsule is a child? Does the parent also have a rigidbody?

abstract flax
#

yes

summer stump
# abstract flax yes

Remove the rigidbody from the capsule. Let the parent rigidbody use the collider

I think the parent is falling and updating the position of the child. The childs collider is "used" by its own rigidbody, and won't affect the parent

abstract flax
#

now i dont fall trough plane but before i land i go diagonaly

summer stump
#

Or just moving by itself?

abstract flax
#

moving itself

wintry quarry
summer stump
#

@abstract flax I do notice the child colliders position is not 0,0,0
So it is offset from the parent.
Probably not the issue, but it is a issue

near cargo
#

but i need the generic

wintry quarry
#

a non generic parent

near cargo
#

oh

wintry quarry
#

a generic child

near cargo
#

i get what you mean

wintry quarry
#

and then the generic concrete children

summer stump
# abstract flax moving itself

But for your issue, is it spinning weirdly, or just moving while keeping the same rotation?
That would be two different issue

If it keeps the rotation, it's gonna be a code issue

If it spins, try freezing the x and z rotations on the rigidbody

wintry quarry
# 
GameController
  GameControllerT
    SolvebitController
    GuessbitController
abstract flax
#

it still countinues to spin

#

and falls trough plane

abstract flax
summer stump
# abstract flax and i gtg now

Oh sorry, missed ya.
A couple things to try when you can.
Set the interpolate settings on the rigidbody to interpolate (instead of none)
Set collision detection to continuous.
Freeze all rotations in the constraints

After that, post the movement code as osteel said above

Having trouble with an Index Out of Bounds error.
This is the line that the error is being caused by:

char newCh = lowerAlphabet[Array.IndexOf(lowerAlphabet, ch) + shuffle];

This is lowerAlphabet:

public static readonly char[] lowerAlphabet = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z' };

And ch is h, or e or l or anything else in hello world. In this case, shuffle is 6, but I also have this line to account for shuffles more than 26 (this is for a Caesar Cipher):

shuffle %= 26;

Can someone help me out? This is the exact error:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
#

This was working before so I don't really know what changed.

wintry quarry
modest barn
#

But that can't be possible in this case

wintry quarry
#

you need to modulo that whole expression by lowerAlphabet.Length

wintry quarry
modest barn
#

Debugging shows it failed on h

#

h is index 7 in lowerAlphabet, shuffle is 6. Shouldn't fail.

#

Right?

wintry quarry
modest barn
#

Sorry, I'm not following. Why would I debug lowerAlphabet.Length? That's a fixed number.

#

So is shuffle.

wintry quarry
#

clearly one or more of your assumptions is wrong

else you wouldn't have a problem

I have an object moving on the zaxis, if it collides with an obstacle, the obstacle's oncollisionenter will be called, and that calls the gameover function of the object, which is this


        alive = false;
        animator.Play("Fall");
        rb.AddForce(new Vector3(0,0,-50));
        Invoke(nameof(Restart), 3);

however, rb.addforce is called, but there is no effect on the scene

#

does addforce not work outside fixedupdate?

you probably want that to use ForceMode.Impulse

can somone help me for a sec...

I am trying to make a small chunk builder, and it "works" so far when I use some tricks... but in the GenerateChunkMap function, I was trying to not have to pass through my public object that I want to spawn, cause I want to spawn multible types and potentially more than I am already am. I want to define this there... essentially... so having to pass it into it is not what I want/need

the paln was to have it like my 4th image (error highlighted) but I don't exactly understand why this is a problem here... seeing that my subclass should have access to the prior public game object, shouldnt it?

image.png image.png image.png image.png
#

I cant make the street_streight static though, as I pass it into my unity script... or am I missing something?

#

eg... blue-box should be my gameobject that I pass into the script...

slender nymph
#

you still need to give the class a reference to an instance of the World_Generator class

cosmic dagger
spring coral
#

is there a Debug.DrawLine equivalent for drawing on the UI?

slender nymph
graceful flame
#

or am I currently sitting on tomatos?

slender nymph
verbal dome
slender nymph
#

you need to tell the MapChunk object which World_Generator object you are using

spring coral
#

huh, ive never seen GL

verbal dome
spring coral
#

URP

#

looking at the GL docs it looks like something si up with URP

#

something about being unable to use OnPostRender()

graceful flame
verbal dome
slender nymph
spring coral
#

that looks right

graceful flame
#

that works...

#

looks strange... but ok

slender nymph
#

alternatively you could just pass the object you are trying to access instead of the World_Generator

graceful flame
#

I... yes... I could also just pass the list of objects...

wintry quarry
#

Seems like you're using mouse position when what you want is the mouse delta aka the amount moved?

#

Also using cam.transform.position.z in there makes no sense either, should be 0

#

you are confusing positions with deltas (aka the amount to change by) in several places here.

ohhh I see

ill try and figure out how to find the delta instead then

both of them are in WeaponSlotManager, NOT in the PlayerInventory script

Which confuses me because if I remove the code for switching weapons everything works fine but when I switch from unarmed to the weaponItem the weapon object doesn’t load and when I attack it gives me an invisible weapon that makes that error

instead of List<IEnumerator> you can make it a List<Func<IEnumerator>> and put the functions themselves in the list

#

and invoke them in the loop

#

like StartCoroutine(coroutine());

west phoenix
#

I see, is there a simpler way?

wintry quarry
#

this is very simple

west phoenix
#

i see

wintry quarry
#

you would need to change approximately 3-4 lines of code here only very slightly

west phoenix
#

Could u maybe potentially help me with finding out which lines?

wintry quarry
#

I already told you

wintry quarry
west phoenix
#

so i just add Func generic there and im good?

wintry quarry
west phoenix
#

ok

wintry quarry
#

Adding the IEnumerator to the list:
coroutineList.Add(Pattern1());
Adding the function itself to the list:
coroutineList.Add(Pattern1);

west phoenix
#

i seeee

#

tysm lemmie try that

#

ill let u know how it goes

west phoenix
#

List<Func<IEnumerator>>

#

i tried adding this in

#

but it didnt work

summer stump
#

Why Func?

west phoenix
#

He said to make it so it stored the action function instead of the return

summer stump

If I have a bunch of AI units spawning, and I want them to start moving somewhere, right now I pass a single "targetLocation" position for them to move towards, however, obviously this looks super bad with a mass of things all going to the same point, what's a good starting point to try and have them have a better distribution of their target location? There's gonna be ALOT of units, so I don't really want to use navmesh's for this that sounds like it would be unscaleable unless I devoted a lot of time to it.

wintry quarry
#

basically take all the units you have selected, take the destination point, and use some kind of formation logic to give each of them a slightly different destination point

#

You almost definitely will want to use NavMesh or some kind of pathfinding algorithm

#

you will need this to make sure all the destination points are valid

empty yoke
#

oh sorry to be clear, these units spawn, and individually, they have a target location and they just start moving towards that location (its enemy zombies moving towards your like...base wall, I just want them to not all move to the same point) though I see still how what you're describing could work

wintry quarry
#

I just want them to not all move to the same point
I mean that's pretty self explanatory - pick different points for them

#

or have them pick at random from a set of valid destination points

empty yoke
#

yeah so at the end of the day its still just manage a handful of nodes, I can't create a more generic...thing, okay that makes sense

zealous oxide
#

hello. if i was to use materialNameHere.SetColor(xxx,ExampleColorHere) on the same material but on different objects and within different independent scripts, will it change the color of the material on a per object basis or does changing the color of the chosen material attached to the renderer change the whole materials color so it ends up being the same on every object with that same material? sorry if I've worded this poorly, its hard to articulate

wintry quarry
#

it's not a name of a material, it's a reference to the material

#

so it really depends which references you're using and where you got them from.

zealous oxide
#

in this instance it would be: pixelOutlineMaterial = GetComponent<Renderer>().material;

wintry quarry
#

and understand the difference.

zealous oxide
#

oh sweet, so I can use it as a shared material or a (non shared) material

I'm making my first game rn. It's a simple game with a cube that shoots bullets at enemies. I'm having trouble with the bullets dealing damage to the enemies, as the enemies arent losing health or being destroyed when health is 0. Here is my code:

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

public class EnemyScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public int Health = 5;
    public int MaxHealth = 5;

    public GameObject Enemy;
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.name == "bullet(Clone)")
        {
            Health = Health - 1;
            if (Health == 0)
            {
                Destroy(Enemy);
            }

        }
    }
}
swift crag
#

You should add some Debug.Log statements to the collision method.

#

This will tell you if the method is getting called at all, or if that if statement is succeeding

#

it walks you through all of the possible problems

#

The code looks OK to me, so I'm guessing your problem lies elsewhere.

slender nymph
#

also you really shouldn't rely on gameobject names for logic. i'd recommend using a tag and the CompareTag method instead

swift crag
#

yes, indeed, other than that :p

#

alternatively, the bullet should have a "Bullet" component

#

you could even make bullets that do more damage

heavy isle
swift crag
#

using names is very fragile

it's fine for beginners, it'll click at a certain point, i'd recommend just making a giant mess of your first project, you'll learn a lot more actually getting things to move around and interact.

maybe ill try using an actual collider

slender nymph

put a log outside of the if statement to make sure that OnCollisionEnter2D is actually being called
oh wait, it's already outside the if statement

wintry quarry

Also yes your if statement is broken

#

because you put a semicolon after the condition

heavy isle
#

swapped OnCollisionEnter2D for OnTriggerEnter2D

wintry quarry
#

If you want OnTriggerEnter2D:

  • At least one has a dynamic or kinematic Rigidbody2D
  • Both need collider2ds
  • At least one collider is a trigger

Hello, I am making a game with some weapons I have picked up from the asset store. I have parented the weapon to the characters right hand for the animations to work properly but for one of the weapons the animations alternate where one animation requires the character to hold the weapon in the right hand while the requires to hold in the left hand. Is there any way for me to change the parent(hand) of the weapon when the different animations play?

Why doesn't this code work? cs private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision) { if (tilemapCollider) { print("Hit"); } }

Hi guys
How are you?

I was following the retro fps tutorial and I'm having a problem with my enemy's code.

He is able to see the player through the wall, I tried using raycast to solve this, but I still have the problem.

My code currently looks like this and when the player gets close to the enemy the console prints "Nothing", even though the player is in front of the enemy or behind a wall, does anyone know how to solve this?

What happens instead?

small mantle

The interaction isn't happening. When I move into the box, it doesn't print("Hit"). Nothing happens.

BoxCollider is not a 2D collider

small mantle

It is a Boxcollider2D

wintry quarry
#

Ok, so show the inspector of both objects involved in this interaction

small mantle

of both objects

need to see more than this

#

Also explain which script has the above code

small mantle
#

The "ChangeTiles" has the script @wintry quarry

Other.PNG Something.PNG
wintry quarry
#

nor a Rigidbody2D

#

If you want OnTriggerEnter2D to run, you need:

  • A Rigidbody2D on one of the objects
  • Both objects have a Collider2D
  • At least one of the colliders is a trigger
#

It's also unclear to me what the point of the "Tilemap Collider" field on the ChangeTiles script is for. Seems relatively pointless

this doesn't setup the correct layer for a raycast, how would I do it correctly?

lapis pebble
#

Any coders with adhd who able to provide coding assistance? Genuinely need the aid

#

And I’m excited to get started on my project I’m motivated to get it started

wintry quarry
#

note the difference between a layer/layer index and a layer mask

low perch
#

ok and for setting the layer I still use nametolayer?

#

because layermask is only for raycasting

wintry quarry
#

If you want to set the layer index of an object, sure you can use NameToLayer

#

that's less common

low perch
#

well when I set
gameObject.layer = objectLayer
when objectLayer = LayerMask.GetMask("object");
I get A game object can only be in one layer. The layer needs to be in the range [0...31]
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

How else would I do it?

Might someone have a clue to why my camera still rotates on the Z axis, ive done this many times and first time running into this problem

wintry quarry
#

again there's a difference between masks and layers

#

if you want to set the layer, use NameToLayer

#

if you want a mask, use GetMask

eternal needle
# topaz gorge ```cs private void RotateCamera() { Vector2 rotationInput = ...

is it actually rotating on the z axis, or are you just seeing the z change in inspector? Because rotations are stored in quaternions, it has to convert to show you it as eulers in inspector. That conversion may result it in saying it has some Z rotation, there are multiple euler angles that result in the same orientation

wintry quarry
topaz gorge
#

ah so dont use euler anlges

wintry quarry
#

or at least don't rely on them for information

#

you're seeing a "z" rotation in the inspector, that doesn't mean much

topaz gorge
#

ok

#

no its actually rotating

wintry quarry
#

note that rotating on the x axis, then the y axis is equivalent to rotating on the z axis

#

maybe a better thing would be if you step back and explain what you're trying to accomplish

eternal needle
#

you can still use it here, try it with 1 axis at a time (remove either vertical or horizontal) and it should rotate correctly visually

topaz gorge
#

Im doing a third person camera, which ive done before cant really figure out why im having issues now, im just trying to rotate on the X and Y axis and Zed shouldn't be rotated on, which im coming to the result of the Z axis also rotating. Which the camera does have a pivot point set in the center of the player

the child rotates on local X

the parent on Y

Question about rendering something in code and culling. Lets say I render a surface (in this case an ocean) as a two dimensional array of tiles. As I move around the world do I need to figure out which tiles are in the cameras field of view and only render those myself, or will URP figure that out and cull them for me?

An example:

using UnityEngine;

public class CreateOcean : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject oceanPrefab;

    private static int tileSize = 10;
    private static int xMaxOcean = 100; // multiple of time size, even or odd tiles
    private static int zMaxOcean = 100; // multiple of tile size, ideally an odd number of tiles to center on start
    private float yOcean = 0f;
    private static int xDim = xMaxOcean / tileSize;
    private static int zDim = zMaxOcean / tileSize; 
    private GameObject[ , ] oceanArray = new GameObject[xDim, zDim];

    void Start()
    {
        //return;

        int i=0, j=0;
        int xOffset = 40;
        for(int x=xOffset*-1; x<xMaxOcean-xOffset; x+=tileSize) // Start line is @ x=0. Begin the ocean behind start line.
        {
            Debug.Log("Array element: [" + i + "," + j );
            for(int z=zMaxOcean/2*-1; z<zMaxOcean/2; z+=tileSize){
                Debug.Log("Loop Iteration: " + x + "," + z);
                Debug.Log("Array element: [" + i + "," + j );
                oceanArray[i,j] = Instantiate(
                        oceanPrefab,
                        new Vector3(x*-1, yOcean, z*-1),
                        Quaternion.identity,
                        transform
                    );

                oceanArray[i,j].name = "OceanTile_x:" + (x).ToString() + ",z:" + (z).ToString();
                Debug.Log("Name: " + oceanArray[i,j].name);
                j++;
            }
            i++; j=0;   
        }
    }
